Cute Brother Badass Family Protector

Chapter 5

Xu Mingzhen was just about to remind her daughter, but seeing that Wei Zhiqian did not seem to be surprised or opposed to her, she bit her tongue.

He also did not want to humiliate his daughter in front of others.

“Can I open it now?” Tan Mo asked as he raised his head.

“Of course.”

Tan Mo placed the box on the coffee table and carefully removed the bow in the box.

He opened the box and saw there was a Aurora version Q of “Sleeping Beauty.” That's huge.

The princess's face was round and very cute.

Her long hair can even be combed, tied, and styled.

“Thank you, Little Uncle!” Tan Mo was very happy. “I like it so much!”

Wei Zhiqian smiled and took out two invitations.

One was given to Li Xiangrong, and the other was given to Xu Mingzhen.

“I'm here today to invite my brother and sister-in-law to attend the birthday banquet of the old mistress.”

Wei Zhiqian said to Xu Mingzhen again, “Ny. Tan can also come with Mr. Tan and bring the Tan brothers and Tan Mo.”

He had just come to send an invitation today, but he had not expected Xu Mingzhen and Tan Mo to be there.

He had not originally planned to invite them.

However, Wei Keli made a mistake. As his uncle, he had to make up for it.

As for Yuan Keqing, he could forget being invited.

Wei Zhiqian had just mentioned the name of the invited family member and missed Yuan Keqing.

Flattered, Xu Mingzhen took the invitation from Wei Zhiqian's hands and hurriedly said, “We will definitely be there.”

He did not expect his family to accept the invitation.

After all, it was Old Lady Wei's birthday party.

Among the invited, aside from the Wei family, were people at the level of the Eight Great Clans.

There might be people who had relatively good relations with the Wei family, but the Tan family, theoretically, would not be invited.

Wei Zhiqian left after finishing the task.

He seems to really like little girl Tan Mo. He squeezed his face and said, “See you later.”

After Wei Zhiqian left, Xu Mingzhen patted her chest and whispered to Li Xiangrong, “I never thought that I would be nervous when facing a teenager.”

“Me too,” replied Li Xiangrong.

Her husband was Wei Zhiqian's cousin who had been transferred.

Due to Yuan Keqing's cruelty, Tan Mo didn't want to play around with Wei Keli anymore.

He had not expected that even at such a young age, Wei Keli had already fallen in love with Yuan Keqing's deception.

How was he when they were growing up?

It seemed that no matter what life was, Wei Keli would not change.

It was just that in this life, the two of them met before, and it also made Tan Mo know from the very beginning that Wei Keli's stupidity could not be saved.

Xu Mingzhen left with Tan Mo and Yuan Keqing.

Only then did Li Xiangrong say to Wei Keli, “You grew up with Tan Mo. Don't you understand his personality? But you still doubt it. You really let me down.”

“I'll apologize to him.” Wei Keli realized that he had not apologized to Tan Mo.

“She's gone, so how can you apologize? What did you do before? You still have to apologize. At the old madam's birthday party, you will apologize to Tan Mo. Understood it? However, rather than apologizing afterwards, you should think more about not making such a mistake in the future.”

Xu Mingzhen brought home Tan Mo and Yuan Keqing.

Tan Mo and Yuan Keqing sat in the back, and Yuan Keqing was still crying silently.

Xu Mingzhen did not calm him down as usual.

Yuan Keqing knew that he was bothering Xu Mingzhen.

No matter how much Xu Mingzhen loved her nephew, once it came to Tan Mo, Xu Mingzhen would always side with Tan Mo and leave him without hesitation.

With eyes full of jealousy and bitterness, Yuan Keqing lowered his head.

“Adik, don't cry.” Tan Mo's soft voice rang out in his ears.

Shocked, Xu Mingzhen looked at Tan Mo through the rearview mirror.

Tan Mo was aggrieved today, but he was trying to comfort Yuan Keqing.

No wonder his three sons were so worried about their younger sister. He was so kind and simple-minded. That's why he's vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

After seeing Tan Mo turn around to look at him, Yuan Keqing asked as he sobbed, “Sepupu, you are not mad at me?”

“You didn't mean that, and we are family. Why should I be angry?” Tan Mo said with a smile.

Yuan Keqing asked in surprise, “Do you still want to play with me?”

“Of course.”

‘Ya true!’ Tan Mo thought with a smile.

“Aky does not carry a handkerchief. Did you bring yours, sister? Remove your tears. Stop crying.” Tan Mo touched his little bag, which contained his favorite handkerchief, but he did not want Yuan Keqing to wipe his tears with it.

Yuan Keqing did not bring his handkerchief, so he wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

Looking at the doll on Tan Mo's arm that Wei Zhiqian gave her, she asked, “Sepupu, do you like this doll so much?”

“Of course.” Tan Mo smiled as he looked at the doll.

Although Tan Mo was the little princess in the family in this life, she was a little snow elf who had taken root from the ground in her previous life.

She is a little snow fairy who has never seen the wonders of the world.

She was very fond of the puppet Wei Zhiqian had given her.

Yuan Keqing lowered his head and curled his lips. In his heart, he mocked Tan Mo for acting like a pitiful country boy despite having been pampered since he was born.

“Sepupu, what will we wear on Mrs Wei's birthday?” Yuan Keqing tilted his head with an innocent expression on his face.

When Xu Mingzhen heard what Yuan Keqing said, she turned around and said, “Keqing, you cannot come with us on that day.”

Yuan Keqing looked at Xu Mingzhen in shock. There was pain in his eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes. “Why? Didn't Little Uncle invite us a moment before? Auntie, did you refuse to take me there just because I upset you?”

Xu Mingzhen frowned. When did his nephew become like this?

He would cry easily at that very instant, and he was chatty the entire time.

Xu Mingzhen felt that Yuan Keqing's words did not seem wrong on the surface, but they made people uncomfortable.

“Our family originally did not have the right to attend Madam Wei's birthday banquet, but Young Master Wei invited us and specifically showed who was invited. Since you are not mentioned, it is impolite for us to take you. The host will also not be happy,” explained Xu Mingzhen. “If I could, I would definitely take you, but not this time.”

Yuan Keqing lowered his head with a look of disappointment on his face, but in his heart, he thought that it was because he felt Tan Mo being persecuted that Xu Mingzhen refused to take him with her family. It's some kind of punishment.

Otherwise, it's just a birthday party. Is it a big deal to bring in one more person?

“Also,” Xu Mingzhen continued, “did I hear you calling Young Master Wei ‘Small Uncle’ just now? Don't call him that in the future. It's not good if others hear it. They may say that we are opportunistic. You can't just call him Little Uncle. Even though I am older than him, I still have to call him Young Master Wei. We can't afford to claim some ties.”

Yuan Keqing was very unhappy, and he said sadly, “But my cousin also called him that.”
