Chapter 702: Fell Into the Tan Family’s Trap

“Zhiqian, you’re always very meticulous, why were you so muddle-headed this time?” Old Madam Wei chided.

Tan Mo couldn’t bear to see Wei Zhiqian being misunderstood, so she quickly explained, “Granny, Un-… Brother Zhiqian dotes on me too much, so he never objects to anything I say. That’s why he agreed when I said I wanted to keep a low profile and just hold a small dinner between our families. He never refuses my requests. It has always been the case since we were young.”

“However, what Old Madam Wei said makes sense,” Tan Wenci said. “We also don’t want Momo to be belittled by others’ misunderstanding.”

“However, if it’s a big event, even the media will definitely cover it,” Xu Mingzhen said.

After all, it was Wei Zhiqian’s engagement. As the next head of the Wei family, how could the media not pay attention to an important matter like his engagement?

“Yesterday, Momo also told us the reason why Zhiqian temporarily didn’t disclose her identity on Weibo,” Xu Mingzhen said. “But if the big event is publicized by the media, then it’d defeat the purpose of concealing Momo’s identity.”

Old Madam Wei thought about it and agreed. Just as she was hesitating, she heard Tan Wenci say, “So we thought… why don’t we hold the engagement next year instead?”

Old Madam Wei: “…”

She had been careless and fell into the Tan family’s trap.

Xu Mingzhen continued, “That’s right, didn’t we already unanimously agree to wait till Momo is twenty before we announce that she’s Zhiqian’s fiancée? Since that’s the case, why don’t we wait till Momo turns twenty. Then there wouldn’t be any problem and we can hold it as grand as we want.”

“We can hold the engagement party grandly and let everyone see Zhiqian’s love and respect for Momo. By then, no matter how much the media reports, we don’t have to worry,” Xu Mingzhen said with a smile.

The two elders: “…”

Wei Mingwen and his wife: “…”

It was such a good reason that there was no way to refute it.

Furthermore, they had unanimously approved it yesterday.

Tan Wenci had fully displayed his negotiation skills from the business world.

“Of course. We’re just waiting for Momo to turn 20 before holding a big celebration. Zhiqian and Momo are considered engaged to each other, and we are already viewing their relationship as that. Moreover, Zhiqian had already publicly announced it on Weibo, and both of them had posted it on their WeChat Moments. Everyone has already acknowledged that they’re already engaged. There’s not much of a difference, we’re just holding the engagement party a year later.”

Old Mister Wei wiped his face and thought: I had been in the business world for decades., but I never expect to be defeated by Tan Wenci, this little fox, despite my age.

Tan Wenci did not know that he was still just a little fox in Old Mister Wei’s heart.

Of course, Old Mister Wei had thought this way because Tan Wenci was indeed much younger than him.

“Alright, let’s do it this way.” The two elders nodded in agreement. Old Madam Wei said, “Let’s take advantage of these two years to properly plan for the engagement party. When the time comes, we must let Momo shine.”

Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen heaved a sigh of relief. They had finally managed to keep their daughter for two more years.

They were well aware of how fast the Wei family moves.

They already got engaged within a few months of dating. Then they’d probably rush off to get their marriage officiated after the engagement party which would probably be held on the day that Tan Mo reached the legal marriage age of 20.

But now, they could delay it for two years.

They couldn’t possibly just leave right after the engagement party and head straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau, right?

By delaying the engagement party until two years later, they might be able to come up with a better way to delay things again for the wedding.

Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen had a tacit understanding in their hearts, and they were already making plans.

They didn’t know that the two elders and Wei Mingwen were also making plans in their heads. They were seriously considering if they could go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau when the engagement party ended.

However, although the formal engagement party had been postponed to two years later, today’s family banquet could be considered as the personal engagement party for the two families.

Time passes extremely swiftly during Winter vacation. In the blink of an eye, it was time for Tan Mo to start school.

On the first day of school, when Tan Mo didn’t have classes in the afternoon, Wei Zhiqian drove to Beijing University to pick up Tan Mo’s belongings so that she could move in with him.

Most of Tan Mo’s belongings were actually in the house next to Beijing University.

There wasn’t much left in the dormitory aside from those items that Tan Mo needed for attending classes.

The things left in the dormitory didn’t need to be packed first, so Wei Zhiqian brought Tan Mo to the house next to Beijing University.

He packed Tan Mo’s luggage first.

Most of Wei Zhiqian’s belongings were back in Yijing, located near Weifeng Company, and only a small portion was brought to this house.

He wasn’t in a hurry to bring them back.

The car was filled up Tan Mo’s belongings, and there wasn’t any extra space for Wei Zhiqian’s things.

Wei Zhiqian would conveniently pick them up again when he sent Tan Mo to school. He was in no hurry.

So, Wei Zhiqian drove back to Yijing with Tan Mo.

He had been looking forward to this for the whole winter.

Wei Zhiqian had already notified the butler, so he had already brought the other servants to await their arrival.

They immediately welcomed their arrival when they saw Wei Zhiqian parked his car at the door.

“Mr. Wei.” A butler was the default of this building. Every resident had a butler.

If there was anything that needed repair, they could just let the butler know.

If they did not want to go out and had something they needed to buy, they could contact the butler.

Of course, the help of the butlers was rarely needed for buying things with the convenience of door-step delivery services.

However, as Wei Zhiqian had brought too many things, he contacted the butler and they could immediately contact people to help.

Wei Zhiqian didn’t even need to do anything. The butler had brought enough helpers.

The packed luggage and cardboard boxes were sent into the house.

After the luggage was removed from the car, a valet drove Wei Zhiqian’s car to the parking space.

For the longest time, Tan Mo had felt that Wei Zhiqian’s half-empty shoe cabinet was too empty and wanted to fill it up.

Therefore, when she started to unpack and settle down, she opened the cardboard box that contained her shoes and put them into the cabinet.

As the dormitory and the house next to the University were all temporary accommodations for Tan Mo, she didn’t bring many shoes from there.

There was still more than half of the shoe cabinet left unoccupied.

Wei Zhiqian looked at the empty space and felt very dissatisfied.

“Let’s go buy some more over the weekend and fill them up,” said Wei Zhiqian.

Thus, the two of them started to pack up the other things.

Wei Zhiqian had already prepared the toiletries for Tan Mo, so she didn’t bring hers.

Wei Zhiqian had even bought a dressing table and placed it in the bedroom for Tan Mo..
