Cute Brother Badass Family Protector

Chapter 27

“Sister, I really don't know that they both baj*ngan, but ..”

Xu Mingzhen held Xu Mingjing's hand and did not let him continue. “I made a decision after discussing it with Wenci, and I'm sorry to tell you that there's no change. Moreover, if the company Wenci sent a notice of her resignation yet Zhengwen still reported for work as usual, how would that affect my husband?"

Xu Mingzhen smiled and put down her cup. “Yuan Zhengwen has been working in Tanyue for many years. He's raised a lot of money. He has more than enough to start his own business.”

Xu Mingjing did not know what to say. She did not want to give up for the sake of her daughter, but she realized that she was unable to convince her older sister.

“His last performance showed how ambitious he was. Our family will not stand in the way of his progress and bright future.” Xu Mingzhen did not even try to hide her displeasure with Yuan Zhengwen.

Xu Mingjing was upset. What will happen to their families?

“Sister, Zhengwen and Keqing are ungrateful. You've helped us these past few years, and I'll always be grateful. You've been helping me since I was a kid, and I can't thank you enough.” Xu Mingjing's eyes were filled with tears. He was afraid of an uncertain future waiting for their families.

As for what level Yuan Zhengwen was at, he knew very well.

What is Yuan Zhengwen's future?

“In the future, if there is still a future, can I still ask for your help?” If Yuan Zhengwen could not provide, would he still be able to come to Xu Mingzhen for help?

“You are my sister. If you need something, as long as it is in my capacity, I will definitely help. But to Yuan Zhengwen, he also had his own brother and sister. Better to ask them instead. Besides, everything I have is now given by Wenci. If I used what Wenci gave me to help the person who conspired against her, what would Wenci think of me?”

Xu Mingzhen quickly added, holding the hand of her younger sister, “Mingjing, don't worry. Our relationship will not change.”

Xu Mingjing forced a smile and said goodbye.

When he reached home, Yuan Zhengwen did not even wait for his wife to settle down and asked excitedly, “How is it?”

Xu Mingjing sighed. From Yuan Zhengwen's reaction, he knew that he wanted to continue working at Tanyue.

Had he known it would be like this, he would not have been greedy.

“I've asked, and it's not just about the ledger,” said Xu Mingjing weakly. “You brought Keqing to Old Lady Wei's birthday party, and my older sister noticed it too.”

“But I was careful not to be seen!”

How did he get caught?

Hearing Yuan Zhengwen's confession, Xu Mingjing said angrily, “How can the two of you do this kind of thing without telling me? How could you do that to them? They helped us, but you betrayed them. Do you expect them to just let it go?”

“How do I betray them? This was just a small matter, and their families had not lost anything! They keep saying that they help us all the time, but don't they just arrange the work for me? They keep talking about it, making sure that we won't forget it. They forced Keqing to be meek and submit to Tan Mo, inferior to him in every way. You let Keqing stay with Tan Mo all day, but did you forget that Keqing is even younger than Tan Mo? Keqing must call Tan Mo's older sister! I just can't stand their family secretly implying how much we owe them, pushing it into our faces! I don't want you to be in an inferior position in their house, and I don't want Keqing to lick Tan Mo. I also want Keqing to raise his head proudly and not have to give up on them!”

Xu Mingjing shed tears in silence. Listening to what Yuan Zhengwen said, his heart ached.

He also did not want Yuan Keqing to always curry favor with Tan Mo, and he also wanted Yuan Keqing to be happy.

However, right before Yuan Zhengwen was laid off from his job, didn't they have to rely on the Tan family?

Xu Mingjing sniffed as he sobbed and said, “You can't go back to Tanyue now. What are you going to do?”

“Then I will work for myself!” Yuan Zhengwen thought about it as Xu Mingjing left.

He knew that he would definitely not be able to return. However, there was no harm in trying, so he let his wife beg Xu Mingzhen.

Xu Mingjing delivered a news that was not entirely unexpected.

‘I have been working in Tanyue for many years. I've saved a lot of money.’ As Yuan Zhengwen thought about it, he felt a little excited and impatient.

Yuan Zhengwen walked pacing back and forth in front of Xu Mingjing excitedly. “You don't have to beg your brother anymore, and I don't need to see Tan Wenci's face. Keqing didn't have to please Tan Mo or let Tan Mo indulge his wishes. In the future, in front of Tan Mo, Keqing can hold his head up high, and we can prevent our daughter from being mistreated.”

Xu Mingjing was not too optimistic about Yuan Zhengwen at first. However, when she found out that Yuan Zhengwen had some connections, she thought that starting a company would not be too difficult because her husband could build a network.

In addition, their families can hold their heads up high after this.

In reality, always relying on the Tan family also made him feel uncomfortable.

Xu Mingjing wiped his tears and started discussing with Yuan Zhengwen.

The admission notice of Jixia Academy arrived in four days.

On the second day after the receipt notification was sent, Jixia Academy also requested confirmation.

They explained to Xu Mingzhen the details of the registration and, at the same time, sent an email, which also detailed the matter clearly and meticulously.

They reminded him not to hesitate to call them if he had any questions.

The teacher who called will be Tan Mo's homeroom teacher when school starts.

Xu Mingzhen feared that there would be negligence, so even though there was still half a month until school started, she was still preparing early.

On this day, Li Xiangrong brought Wei Keli to play with Tan Mo.

Li Xiangrong was still unaware that Tan Mo was going to Jixia Academy.

Wei Mingwen discussed the matter with Tan Wenci alone. Tan's family didn't tell anyone about this so as not to attract unwanted attention.

“Mo Mo.” Looking at Tan Mo again, Wei Keli acted as if a recent unpleasant incident had never happened and treated Tan Mo affectionately.

When they returned home after the party, Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong explained to Wei Keli in great detail all the interests and advantages of having a good relationship with Tan Mo and his family.

With Wei Keli's self-serving character, he immediately decided to persuade Tan Mo.

“Kakak Keli.” Tan Mo smiled sweetly at Wei Keli.

But if Wei Keli became more sensitive, he would be able to tell that Tan Mo had no joy in his eyes, and he was just being polite to Wei Keli.

As expected, Wei Keli was unaware of it, but the three brothers could see it very clearly.

They knew Tan Mo well.

The three brothers could see all of Tan Mo's subtle reactions at a glance.

They were relieved to see Tan Mo treating him indifferently.

Wei Keli foolishly thought that Tan Mo did not hold a grudge and asked, “Mo Mo, are you still mad at me?”

“I've never been mad at you.” Tan Mo's eyes brightened as he smiled. “I also want to thank you. Last time, at the birthday party, Keqing cried in front of me. But thank you, Brother Keli, for comforting him. You helped me a lot!”
