Chapter 88 - You Suspect That Mo Mo Is Lying

“What did our family ever do to you?” Xu Mingzhen clutched her chest and said, “I am absolutely confident that I have been very good to you as your aunt. As long as I can remember, whatever we had, you also had a share.

“There have only been two exceptions that I can remember. One was the invitation to the birthday party and the other was the place in Jixia Academy. I couldn’t get these for you because it was beyond my abilities. Except for these two incidents, if there were other incidents where I made you aggrieved, please tell me. If you were dissatisfied with me, you can come at me. How dare you harm Mo Mo?

“If it hadn’t been for what Mo Mo said just now, I wouldn’t even know that you used to bully Mo Mo like this. She hadn’t told us anything. I always told my children to get along well with you, but I didn’t know how much this has caused Mo Mo to suffer.”

“Sister, there must be some misunderstanding here.” Xu Mingjing’s palms were feeling a little sweaty. “I can’t believe Keqing would hurt Mo Mo.”

“Then you mean Mo Mo has lied?” Xu Mingzhen asked back unceremoniously.

“No, I didn’t mean that…” Xu Mingjing licked her lips anxiously and said, “Mo Mo is a good girl, and so is Keqing, so there must be a misunderstanding somewhere in this story.”

“I still have the record of the phone call Keqing made to me just before I entered the examination room.” Tan Mo took out her phone, found the call record, and showed it to Xu Mingjing.

With her eyes looking bloodshot, she said slowly and sadly, “Aunt, I didn’t lie.”

Tan Jinqi hugged Tan Mo and said in a forceful voice, “My sister is obviously the victim here, but now she is suspected of lying. How ridiculous!”

Tan Jinyi said sarcastically with tears in his eyes, “Are you really our dear aunt?”

Artistic people were always so sentimental.

“I feel sympathy for my mother and Mo Mo,” Tan Jinsheng said loudly.

“I didn’t mean to doubt Mo Mo.” Xu Mingjing emphasized that she was just saying that there must be a misunderstanding in the situation. How did it become her suspecting Tan Mo of lying?

“Madame Yuan, I’m an outsider, so I shouldn’t say too much,” Li Xiangrong said from the sidelines. “But I also have to say, since you just said that Yuan Keqing hasn’t harmed Mo Mo, doesn’t that mean that one of them is lying? In your eyes, since it’s impossible for Yuan Keqing to lie, who is the one who lied? Wouldn’t it be Mo Mo? You suspect that Mo Mo is lying.

“The call log is displayed here. Yuan Keqing called Mo Mo before she entered the examination room.” Xu Mingzhen pointed at the phone with trembling fingers. “Was there anything that couldn’t wait until the exam is over? Why does she have to call Mo Mo to tell her anything before such an important exam? Whether it was a happy event or an unfortunate event, it will affect her state of mind when taking the exam. Doesn’t she realize that?”

“I didn’t mean to harm my cousin.” Yuan Keqing saw that it was impossible to lie about the phone call, so she said innocently, “It was precisely because I knew that Wei Zhiqian was very important to my cousin that I told my cousin about it the moment that I heard the news.

“What’s more, my cousin is so smart that she can skip grades. She can take the college entrance examination at the age of 15. I thought, the college entrance examination certainly wouldn’t be difficult for my cousin, so how could this phone call affect my cousin? If my cousin finished the exam and found out that I knew Wei Zhiqian had been injured but didn’t tell her in time, she might be even more angry.

“Between the exam and Wei Zhiqian’s injury, I’m certain my cousin would think that Wei Zhiqian’s injury was more important.” Yuan Keqing had put Tan Mo in a dilemma.

If Tan Mo denied this, word of this matter would be passed to the Wei family through Wei Keli. Since Wei Zhiqian had been so kind to Tan Mo over the years, wouldn’t she seem utterly ungrateful?

How could the Wei family not be displeased with Tan Mo?

“Thinking that Wei Zhiqian is very important to my cousin, I also wanted to tell my cousin as soon as possible out of good intentions. I didn’t think of anything else. I didn’t expect that this would affect my cousin’s exam and make her screw up the exam.” Yuan Keqing lowered her head and said with feigned guilt, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know. I originally did it out of good intentions…

“I understand that my cousin now blames me for ruining her exam, and I understand that my aunt is angry with me. You two should be angry because I did something wrong.” Yuan Keqing’s face was pale and tears welled up in her eyes. “I apologize to my cousin. If I could go back in time, I would definitely not have called my cousin. But I will never admit that I did it on purpose to screw up her exam results.

“My aunt has been so good to me ever since I was a child, and how could I repay all her favors with malice? Aunt, cousin, you can’t think of me so badly. Your words make me very sad!” Yuan Keqing covered her mouth and couldn’t stop crying.

The sight of this made the three Tan family brothers nauseous.

Tan Jinyi said, “Brother, I want to vomit.”

Xu Mingzhen was trembling with anger. She’d never realized that Yuan Keqing was so shameless.

“Cousin,” Tan Mo addressed Yuan Keqing the same way she had addressed her, “you said that you didn’t expect that I would screw up the exam. So, if before the exam, you heard someone tell you that your father was injured and dying and if you didn’t go right away you might not see him one last time, could you take the exam with peace of mind?”

“Mo Mo…” Xu Mingjing frowned in disapproval. “How can you curse your uncle like this?”

“So, was this cursing?” Tan Mo immediately turned to Yuan Keqing and said, “Cousin, it doesn’t matter if you ruined my exam. Anyway, I’m still young. It doesn’t matter if I take the exam again next year.”

Yuan Keqing: “…”

Why do these words make her so angry?

“But you can’t curse Little Uncle just to harm me!” Tan Mo’s little face was flushed now.

Yuan Keqing was very shocked. “I didn’t!”

How can she blabber such nonsense?

If word of this reached Wei Zhiqian’s ears, won’t she be doomed?

What’s more, there were Wei family members present.

Wei Keli might not say it, but Li Xiangrong had never liked her. What if she spreads stories about her after all this?

“I never cursed Wei Zhiqian!” Yuan Keqing panicked. She said, “Cousin, even if you are angry with me, you can’t wrong me like this.”

“My Little Uncle is obviously okay, uninjured, healthy, and well, but you called me to tell me that he had been seriously injured and that he was on the brink of death. What else could that be besides cursing him? At that time, I told you that it didn’t matter if you didn’t want me to do well on the exam, but you can’t joke about my Little Uncle’s health.”

This was the first time that Tan Mo had been so angry, and the first time her voice had sounded so tough.

It was enough to make people see Tan Mo’s anger.

“Wei Zhiqian was injured.” Yuan Keqing didn’t believe Tan Mo was speaking the truth..

Tan Mo was refusing to admit what had happened because she wanted to frame her.

“If you won’t admit it, we can go to the hospital to see,” Yuan Keqing said, “I didn’t lie.”
