Chapter 21: The Apology

Just a few seconds ago, he thought Tan Mo was being overbearing by bullying her cousin with Qin Muye.

Now, upon being reminded by Tan Mo, he remembered that Yuan Keqing helped the Qin sisters bully Tan Mo before.

However, Wei Keli was only thinking of Yuan Keqing, not of himself at all.

"Who knows why my cousin is crying again." Tan Mo sighed and said helplessly, "It doesn't matter if my cousin cries a lot. Although I am only one month older than her, since she called me an older cousin, then I would definitely be tolerant towards her. Usually, when she cries, we all let her have her way, but today's occasion is different. It is Old Madam Wei's birthday. She's being a jinx by crying like this. How could she cry on someone's birthday?"

"Jinx!" Qin Muye snorted.

Wei Keli looked at Yuan Keqing. This was really inappropriate.

"I didn't mean to...," Yuan Keqing said pitifully.

"I know, my cousin usually cries easily because of little things." Tan Mo came over and took Yuan Keqing's hand. "Brother Keli, I'll hand my cousin to you. Do me a favor and be her companion tonight, alright?"

"I'm here..."

'I'm here to apologize to you.'

But before Wei Keli could finish speaking, Tan Mo had already stuck Yuan Keqing's little hand into Wei Keli's hand.

Wei Keli held it.

Tan Mo said to Yuan Keqing, "Keqing, I don't blame you. Even if you don't apologize, I won't blame you. We're family. Although you just sided with the Qin sisters, I can't really get mad at you since you're my cousin. Ever since I was little, I have become accustomed to letting you have your way, so this time is no exception."

Yuan Keqing didn't know what to say.

How come these words sounded so familiar?

Wasn't this the way she always spoke?

It sounded like she was saying that she didn't mind, but, in reality, every word insinuated that the other party was in the wrong.

She had never been disadvantaged this way.

It never occurred to her that there would come a time when Tan Mo would use this means to deal with her.

When she got a taste of her own medicine, she found out how choking it was.

She was dismayed, but she couldn't refute her.

Tan Mo smiled innocently. She disdained using this sort of petty means, but it didn't mean she didn't know how to. If she really were to use it, no one would dare cross her.

Tan Mo was pleased to see Yuan Keqing's expression. She appeared as if a can of sardines had just been forcibly stuffed on her mouth.

"But you two are sisters, so won't it be more appropriate for you to comfort her?" Wei Keli felt that it was inappropriate.

Tan Mo shook her head and said, "I just had a conflict with Sister Qin Murong. Everyone is watching. If Keqing is crying, won't people think that I am to blame for what happened just now if they see her? I obviously didn't blame Keqing, but if I get misunderstood, then where would I get justice for my grievances?"

"Brother Keli, you can do me a favor and coax my cousin." Tan Mo put her hands together and rubbed them as she begged.

Facing the doll-like Tan Mo, Wei Keli couldn't resist her pleas.
