Chapter 969 - She Doesn’t Even Try to Hide It Now

“So this time, he will only help me after our family invests in Wei Keli.” Yuan Keqing sneered. “How can this be something that a future in-law’s family is capable of?”

“They don’t treat me as a future daughter-in-law at all. They are treating this as a business transaction and stressing on the exchange of benefits,” Yuan Keqing said angrily.

Xu Mingjing was displeased, and her expression also turned ugly.

She couldn’t help but think that if it were Tan Mo, it would be Tai Namo who was engaged to Wei Keli.

If something happened to Tan Mo, would Wei Zhijian do likewise, sitting idly by and even threatening not to help Yuan Keqing unless the Yuan family coughs out some money?

Definitely not.

Xu Mingjing then wondered if the Tan family already know about the character of Wei Zhijian’s family, so they didn’t want Wei Keli.

However, their family couldn’t be as unrestrained as the Tan family.

Without Wei Keli, the Tan family had a better deal in the form of Wei Zhiqian.

However, Wei Keli was the only option for the Yuan family.

“You were obviously implicated by Wei Keli, but Wei Zhijian still has the cheek to threaten us!” Xu Mingjing said angrily, “If it weren’t for Wei Keli, you wouldn’t have done such a thing. At this time, you would have entered the period for the movie marketing campaign and attracted a large number of fans.”

Yuan Keqing didn’t dare to tell the truth. “Then what should we do? If we don’t come up with something, Wei Zhijian really won’t care.”

“Wait for your dad to come back and discuss it with him,” Xu Mingjing could only say.

That night, Yuan Zhengwen didn’t fool around outside because of Xu Mingjing’s call.

He returned after work.

Hearing what Yuan Keqing said, Yuan Zhengwen said, “Indeed, we have to give something to make Wei Zhijian feel at ease.”

Yuan Keqing hesitated for a moment, she said, “Dad, I think it’s best not to mention Wei Keli’s mistakes in case you and Wei Zhijian get into a disagreement. It’s supposed to be a collaboration, and an exchange of interests. Don’t make it so that we have to fork out money, but yet are unable to get into their family’s good books.”

“That goes without saying. Of course I know that,” Yuan Zhengwen said impatiently.

Did he need a little girl like Yuan Keqing to teach him something so basic?

Yuan Keqing was not angry at Yuan Zhengwen’s attitude at all. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as Yuan Zhengwen did not mention Wei Keli’s matter, he would not know that she was involved.

“However, I invested in Keli, but I only got your job in exchange. This is not enough,” Yuan Zhengwen said with a frown.

He allowed Yuan Keqing be with Wei Keli to bring benefits to his company.

It was not to benefit Yuan Keqing.

“I still have to discuss it with Wei Zhijian,” Yuan Zhengwen said.

Yuan Keqing was afraid that Yuan Zhengwen would ask for too much, and Wei Zhijian would bargain with him, only agreeing to help Yuan Zhengwen’s company but not her.

However, Yuan Keqing didn’t dare to say it aloud.

While Yuan Zhengwen and Wei Zhijian were testing each other and bargaining.

“Broken Continent” was already halfway through its broadcast.

Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo went to Kefeng Films for a meeting and proposed to hold an offline exhibition after the season two finale of “Broken Continent”.

To display the clothing, makeup, and props used in “Broken Continent”.

Of course, the main purpose was to display Tan Jinyi’s paintings.

As for the details, they would leave it to the team that Kefeng Films had set up for “Broken Continent”.

Kefeng Films was more than willing to organize related features for the offline event for “Broken Continent”.

They had already thought it through.

While they were planning, they would simultaneously make plans for the development of these related features.

They wanted to see if any of these clothing, props, or make-up could be suitably made for the same style.

For example, the clothes from “Broken Continent” could be made into the same Hanfu style.

Models of the characters’ accessories could also be developed.

They could also make all kinds of spiritual artifacts used by the characters.

They could make one-to-one sized pieces of the same design, as well as smaller pieces.

They could set different prices.

Kefeng Films made good use of time to develop these.

The official blog of “Broken Continent” also released the exact time and venue of the offline exhibition, as well as ticketing information and other matters.

“There will be limited edition peripherals that can be bought!”

“I’m in!”

“Can the peripherals posted by the official blog be bought?”

After receiving a positive reply from the official blog, netizens expressed their desire to purchase certain items.

Girls wanted to buy the same type of clothes and accessories.

Boys were more inclined to buy the same type of magical artifacts.

From one-to-one sizes to smaller versions, they all had different objectives.

While “Broken Continent” was bustling with activity, Yuan Keqing seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

The netizens who were watching “Moon Shines Over the River” actually all chose not to watch her.

Yuan Keqing also bribed some video editors to cut out some of her highlights.

She posted them on Weibo and the flash video platform.

She also bought a traffic push.

However, it caused a huge backlash from the netizens.

She was lambasted in the comments.

After the netizens finished their bashing, they chose the “Not interested” button to lower these pushes.

Yuan Keqing spent her money. Besides getting slammed, she didn’t receive any feedback.

It was the day that “Broken Continent” had an offline exhibition.

Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian returned to the Tan mansion.

Early in the morning, they watched their precious daughter enter the house with Wei Zhiqian.

It was as if they were going back to their parents’ house.

Tan Wenci was saddened to find that this place didn’t even seem to be Tan Mo’s home anymore.

Tan Mo had a new home.

Tan Wenci covered his chest with his hands, his face scrunched up.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” As he was getting older, Xu Mingzhen was especially attentive to Tan Wenci’s health.

“No, I just feel it’s as though Momo has her own home. Look, she’s not hiding anything now. She came hand-in-hand with Wei Zhiqian early in the morning. It’s as if she’s visiting her parents’ home. Our place doesn’t seem like Momo’s home anymore.”

“What are you thinking about so early in the morning? You already said it’s her home, how can it not be her home? You are contradicting yourself,” Xu Mingzhen felt that if Tan Wenci encountered anything related to Tan Mo, he would become extremely hypocritical.

“When Momo gets married and comes back to her home, is our place not her home? Momo’s home will always be her home, her backing!”

“Sigh, you don’t understand.” Tan Wenci waved his hand. “They used to know how to put on an act, as if they don’t live together. Now, they don’t put on an act at all.”

Xu Mingzhen could only comfort him. “How about... you take it that Zhiqian went to Beijing University early in the morning to fetch Momo here?”

Tan Wenci glanced at Xu Mingzhen and said, “How is that possible? Today is Saturday. Under normal circumstances, Momo will come home on Friday afternoon and stay the night.”

“In the past, although Momo lived with Wei Zhiqian, she would still pretend to come home from school on weekends and stay here for the weekend,” Tan Wenci said bitterly.
