Chapter 77: Aren’t You Doing This Because of Tan Mo?
This was not appropriate!
“What are you doing?” Staring at Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo, Qin Murong rushed into the room.
“Lower your voice,” Wei Zhiqian said with a sullen expression, and, fearing that she could be awakened, he quickly covered Tan Mo’s ears.
Seeing that Qin Murong seemed to be stunned, Wei Zhiqian asked impatiently, “Why are you here?”
Wei Zhiqian’s hands were still covering Tan Mo’s ears. Qin Murong’s eyes were still on Tan Mo’s face as she put the thermos she was holding down on a table, and she replied, “I heard that you had been injured, so I came to see you. Thinking that patients have a lot of taboos at first, I figured porridge would be the best thing to bring. I cooked the porridge by myself. It’s almost noon, so this can be your lunch.”
“No thanks. I have someone here to customize meals suitable for my recuperation.” Wei Zhiqian didn’t want to be tactful at all nor did he have any intention of thanking Qin Murong. “I’m sure they’re much better than the porridge you cooked without knowing my situation.”
“I didn’t cook it casually. I cooked it with sincerity.” Qin Murong bit her lips sadly and said, “I boiled the porridge for several hours deliberately to make the porridge soft and waxy. Thinking you might not be able to eat anything else, I also specially juiced vegetables into it… It does not conflict with your customized meal. Even if you eat that, you can also drink some of my porridge.”
“Miss Qin.” When Butler Zhou had heard Qin Murong’s voice, he’d hurriedly walked in and said, “Sorry, the Young Master needs a lot of good rest. It would be better if you can wait for the Young Master to recuperate and come back another day.”
“Why is Tan Mo here?” Qin Murong was very resentful.
“Miss Mo Mo came to take care of the Young Master last night, and she is very tired now.” Butler Zhou reminded her again, “Miss Qin, keep your voice down. Don’t wake up Miss Mo Mo.”
Qin Murong: “…”
These two kept defending Tan Mo.
Butler Zhou called her Miss Mo Mo so respectfully that people who didn’t know would think that Tan Mo was the Young Madame of the Wei family.
She’s actually just an imposter.
“Take care of him? She’s taking care of him like this? She’s occupying Zhiqian’s hospital bed. Doesn’t she know that Zhiqian is a patient?” Qin Murong looked unhappy as she said, “She is a child, so how can she know how to take care of him? Is she taking care of him or making more trouble? With her here, Zhiqian can’t rest well.”
“I had been resting quite well until you came.” Wei Zhiqian turned and said to Butler Zhou, “Butler Zhou, can you take Mo Mo back to the room? And you go to sleep too. It’s too noisy here.”
Qin Murong: “…”
“Certainly, sir.” Butler Zhou glanced at Qin Murong disdainfully, picked Tan Mo up, and took her into the bedroom. Then he came out again.
Qin Murong immediately changed her attitude. With a look of “I’m doing this for your own good”, she put on a gentle expression and said softly, “I’m not accusing Tan Mo. I just think she isn’t even able to take care of herself at her age, so how can she take care of others? Besides, I heard that she had been spoiled by the Tan family and never does anything, and she came to take care of you. If the Tan family finds out, won’t they be angry?”
“You don’t have to worry about these things.” Wei Zhiqian had made it clear that he didn’t want to talk to Qin Murong any longer, so Butler Zhou said, “This was Miss Mo Mo’s compassionate gesture toward the Young Master. Both Mr. Tan and Mrs. Tan are very reasonable people, so they understand. Besides, with me here to take care of the Young Master, what does Miss Mo Mo need to do? The first person the Young Master saw was Miss Mo Mo when he opened his eyes, and the Young Master was very happy. This alone is enough.”
Wei Zhiqian curled his lips appreciatively. Butler Zhou was right.
Qin Murong was quite extraordinarily shameless. She sat directly on the chair beside Wei Zhiqian’s bed where Tan Mo had sat all night and said softly, “Tan Mo is now 15 years old, right? I remember when she was as old as Muxiao and Muye.”
“She isn’t so young anymore,” Qin Murong said.
“Didn’t you just say that Miss Mo Mo is still so young so she can’t take care of him?” Butler Zhou asked.
Qin Murong: “…”
Qin Murong smiled slowly and said, “I mean as a girl, she is no longer young. She is already a young woman, so it isn’t appropriate for her to be with Zhiqian like before, especially sleeping in the same bed and spending the night. This is too inappropriate and can give rise to gossip.”
She wanted to say that the Tan family was too shameless.
In order to ride on the coattails of the Wei family, they had actually allowed their daughter to come and stay in the same bed as Wei Zhiqian.
How thick-skinned!
“I think it would be better to send her home.” Qin Murong feigned kindness and understanding as she said, “I will be here to take care of Zhiqian.”
“Who are you to stay here to take care of me? Mo Mo is not suitable, so are you suitable?” Wei Zhiqian’s mind was blown by Qin Murong’s shamelessness.
She really knew how to put feathers in her own cap.
Tan Mo was his niece, but who was Qin Murong?
“Miss Qin, thank you for your kind offer.” Butler Zhou said with a fake smile on his face. “You and our Young Master are not relatives, so it is even more inappropriate for you to take care of him here. If word got out and people gossiped about it, the Young Master wouldn’t be able to explain himself. What if our Young Master was forced to be responsible? Then, wouldn’t our Young Master be very wronged?”
Butler Zhou was literally one step away from pointing at Qin Murong’s nose and telling her that they despised her.
When Butler Zhou finished speaking, Qin Murong acted as if she had been greatly wronged and humiliated.
Qin Murong’s eyes seemed to turn red with rage as she said, “Qin Mufeng and the others have gone to study abroad. They are your best friends. It stands to reason that you should be with them.”
Although his seven buddies weren’t all in the same school anymore, they were all in the top three schools in the world, so one or two of them would be in the same school.
“But you chose to stay in China and stay in Beijing University.” Qin Murong asked, “Zhiqian, you tell me the truth. Aren’t you doing this because of Tan Mo? You are waiting for her.”
How could Wei Zhiqian fail to hear what Qin Murong meant?
He looked nauseous as he said, “Put away your nasty thoughts! You have nasty thoughts and you think that others are as nasty as you. Mo Mo is only 15 years old. What kind of beast would be tempted by a little girl? She is my beloved niece. When I graduated from Jixia Academy, I promised her that I would wait for her at Beijing University and continue to be an alumnus with her. The things promised must be fulfilled.
Wei Zhiqian stood up and continued, “Qin Murong, you really make me sick! I have never been so sick of a person as I am now with you!”
Wei Zhiqian gritted his teeth and even his breathing became heavy.
“Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself.” Wei Zhiqian stared at Qin Murong closely as he warned her, “If I hear someone outside this room say these dirty things about Tan Mo, I will ruin your family. If I ruin the second Qin family in the line of succession, the Qin family probably wouldn’t turn on me for doing this.”
