“When Grandma is in pain, you just need to distract her. Then she won’t keep thinking about her headache and will feel better. As she chats, she will feel as if she hasn’t had a headache for nearly half a year. The last time she had a headache, after you massaged her just a few times, she no longer had any pain.”
Wei Zhiqian thought that even if this had been just a coincidence, it still meant that Tan Mo and the Old Madame were destined to have a good relationship.
Otherwise, why hadn’t this coincidence happened to anyone else?
“Grandma said that you are her lucky star and seeing you makes her happy, so she wants to see you,” Wei Zhiqian said. “Although the request is a bit weird and it is the New Year and not really appropriate to take you away from your family, she’s sick so I can only indulge her.”
Wei Zhiqian tried to rub Tan Mo’s hair, but he stopped when he realized that she was still wearing a beret.
Even the beret seemed to have been made in a delicate manner and worn perfectly, so Wei Zhiqian was unwilling to ruin it.
He had no choice but to not pat her head, and his heart felt a little empty as a result.
“But I don’t want you to feel any pressure because of that,” Wei Zhiqian rubbed his hands together and said. “Grandma wants to see you just because you are cute and she likes you, not because you can really cure her headaches. You just need to act like yourself and get along with her naturally. Grandma’s headache is not your responsibility. She just thought of you when she was feeling uncomfortable. As long as you are there, you can make her feel at ease.”
Tan Mo was surprised that, after not seeing each other for such a long time, Old Madame Wei would still think of her.
Fortunately, during all the time in between, Old Madame Wei hadn’t had another headache.
Tan Mo decided she would just take this opportunity to treat the Old Madame again.
The car stopped in front of the Wei family home.
The Tan family car rolled up behind Wei Zhiqian’s car. As soon as the three Tan brothers got out of the car, they immediately swarmed over, saying, “Mo Mo!”
Although they were only three people, from their attitude, it was as if they were a mighty army.
The three brothers took advantage of Wei Zhiqian being distracted to lead Tan Mo back to the environs of the Tan family.
Afraid that Wei Zhiqian would come to snatch her again, the three brothers stood in front of Tan Mo and shielded her small body.
Tan Mo sighed to herself in silence. In fact, it was pretty great having three older brothers.
Didn’t they often come in handy at critical moments?
Wei Zhiqian: “...”
Wei Zhiqian snorted to himself as he watched the Tan family acting like they were afraid of him.
The Tan family had already arrived in Wei family territory, so where did they think they were going to go?
He decided that he would just let them be now.
“Please come inside.” Wei Zhiqian made an inviting gesture and then walked inside with the Tan family.
The Wei house was an old house.
It was an old house with a lot of history, and it took a lot of time just to arrive at the main hall.
When they finally entered the main hall, a previous wave of guests had just left.
Because they could see that Old Madame Wei looked unwell, they were embarrassed to stay for too long.
On the way over, Tan Wenci had sighed and complained about how they not only had to go to the Wei family’s mansion, but also the Wei family’s ancient mansion.
It was really extraordinary.
Upon seeing the Tan family arrive, Old Madame Wei hurriedly got up to greet them.
“I’m so sorry for making all of you come here on New Year’s. I’m being willful.”
Old Madame Wei took Xu Mingzhen’s hand affectionately and said, “Today is the second day of New Year’s, so you all definitely weren’t staying at home. Where did Zhiqian drag you all from?”
“Old Madame Xu’s home,” Wei Zhiqian spoke truthfully. He had nothing to concealt.
Old Madame Wei scolded him. “I said that if it was convenient for them to let them come over. But since they were in their elder’s house, it was obviously inconvenient for them. How could you go to their elder’s house to invite them?”
Old Madame Wei quickly said to Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, “I’m sorry, Zhiqian has been insensitive.”
“Not at all, to be honest, Young Master Wei helped us out.” Xu Mingzhen didn’t say anything further than this to explain herself.
Old Madame Wei was shrewd, however, so she figured she could understand the situation as soon as she heard this. But she still had a stern expression on her face as she said, “He’s a child, so it’s ridiculous to call him Young Master We. If outsiders were forced to call him that, it would be impossible to explain to them.”
And there were lots of people he wouldn’t interact with much, so it didn’t matter if they called him that.
“Don’t put him on such a high pedestal,” Old Madame Wei said seriously.
Wei Mingwen had also said the same thing.
Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen’s impression of the Wei family was getting better and better.
After Xu Mingzhen nodded her agreement with what the Old Madame had said, she hurriedly said, “It just so happened that we were almost ready to leave. Old Madame, please sit down and rest. We heard...Zhiqian say that you had a headache.”
“I had a headache so I thought of Mo Mo. I willfully wanted her to come and talk with me.” Old Madame Wei let Xu Mingzhen help her to sit down.
Xu Mingzhen and Tan Wenci hurriedly took the children to pay their greetings to Old Master Wei and Old Madame Wei.
Facing these two kindly old people, the four children of the Tan family said auspicious words that sincerely came from the bottom of their hearts this time.
“These four children are really bubbly.” The Old Madame looked at the four children of the Tan family and liked them very much.
The oldest one was level-headed and paid a lot of attention to his younger siblings. He looked like a good older brother.
The second oldest son seemed very high-spirited, and, even when facing them, didn’t even flinch at all.
The youngest boy looked like he had a big heart, but it seemed as if he only had eyes for his sister.
These four children all seemed exceptional.
While they were talking, the Old Madame took out four red packets.
There were no names written on the red envelopes, but the amount in each envelope was the same, so it didn’t matter who got which one.
The four of them accepted them graciously, and, in front of the Old Madame, they handed all the red envelopes to Xu Mingzhen.
Even Tan Jinqi, who was already a teenager, was no exception. The sight of this amused the Old Madame.
“Great Grandma, how is your headache?” Tan Mo walked up to the Old Madame and climbed into her lap.
Xu Mingzhen was terrified by the sight.
She was about to stop her, but the Old Madame smiled and raised her hand to stop her from interfering.
Old Madame Wei smiled and helped Tan Mo to climb onto her lap.
“It hurts, but now that I see all of you, I feel so happy that I forgot all about the headache.” The Old Madame looked at the children with a smile, then turned to the Old Master and said, “Look, I was just saying how it’s good to have small children in the family. It makes the atmosphere more lively and makes people feel happy.”
It was a pity that their children were all grown up.
Wei Zhiqian was grown up as well.
Wei Keli also couldn’t be regarded as a young child anymore, and his temperament was really not pleasant.
“Then I will massage it for you just like last time.” Tan Mo sat on the Old Madame’s lap, straightened her arms, and placed her fingertips where the Old Madame was having a headache. “I remember it was here last time. Is it still here this time?”
The Old Madame was extremely surprised and said, “Oh, I’ve heard Zhiqian say that your memory was very good, but I didn’t expect it to be this good. You actually can still remember where my headache was.”
