Chapter 79  : Sick

“But this all happened because of Zhiqian.” Unexpectedly, Xiao Menghan agreed with Wei Mingwen’s decision. The two of them were trying to persuade the Tan family together. “He deserves to be punished.”

“How could it possibly be because of Zhiqian?” Xu Mingzhen took Xiao Menghan’s hand and said, “Zhiqian was injured. You have already been worried enough. There is really no need to trouble yourself further because of Qin Murong’s mistake. Zhiqian didn’t get injured voluntarily, and Zhiqian didn’t ask Qin Murong to come to visit him. For Zhiqian, this was also an unexpected disaster. Don’t blame yourselves because other people acted inappropriately.”

“None of us have done anything wrong,” Tan Wenci said.

“Right!” Xu Mingzhen nodded vigorously and agreed, repeating what her husband had said, “None of us have done anything wrong.”

Hoping that if she could be forgotten by the Wei family at this moment, perhaps the Wei family wouldn’t remember to tell the sordid tale to the Qin family. Qin Murong tried her best to reduce her presence on the sidelines.

After listening to what Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen were saying, Qin Murong couldn’t help feeling very contemptuous.

Who exactly do Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen think they are?

Riding on the Wei family’s coattails, they’d even dared to rebuke her.

“Butler Zhou,” Wei Mingwen said with a sullen expression on his face, “send Miss Qin away. Give the order that from now on, no one will be allowed to come in except for us and the Tan family.”

“Yes, sir.” Butler Zhou nodded and walked over to Qin Murong.

He didn’t even bother to keep up a pretense of courtesy by politely having Qin Murong leave by herself. He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room.

Then he went directly to the nurses’ station and said, “Mr. Wei needs to rest. In the future, except for the two elders and Mr. Wei’s parents, as well as the Tan family members who have just been here, don’t let anyone else in.”

Butler Zhou pointed at Qin Murong and said, “Especially not her.”

Qin Murong had long since lost the desire to struggle. She was already scared out of her wits, and she obediently let Butler Zhou drag her away.

Even though Butler Zhou said such demeaning things about her, Qin Murong still didn’t protest.

“Okay, I understand,” answered the nurse on duty.

Butler Zhou put Qin Murong into an elevator. He stayed outside the elevator, and only stretched his arm in to press the first floor button and the close button. He then quickly retracted his arm and said coldly, “Miss Qin, I hope we have no more trouble from you.”

Back on the ward, after much persuading, Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen had finally convinced Wei Mingwen to give up on disciplining Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen breathed sighs of relief.

Disciplining Wei Zhiqian for the idiocy of Qin Murong would have been wrong.

Although they had always felt very conflicted about this kid who had spent so much time robbing them of Mo Mo in order to take her to the Wei family’s house, they still had to admit that since childhood Wei Zhiqian had treated Tan Mo very well.

His treatment of her was similar to how the Tan family’s three brothers had treated her.

And actually, his treatment had surpassed their treatment of her a bit.

“Where is Mo Mo?” Old Madame Wei asked about Tan Mo first without even asking how her son, Wei Zhiqian, was.

After all, they could see that Wei Zhiqian was standing on his own two feet.

He also looked very energetic.

The Old Madame wasn’t worried about him at all.

“She’s sleeping in the bedroom inside there. She stayed up all night watching over me. When I woke up, I saw her lying next to the bed. I asked the doctor to examine her. The doctor said that she was very tired and I should just let her sleep,” Wei Zhiqian said.

“Ah, why is Mo Mo so kind?” The Old Madame hurriedly walked into the bedroom as she muttered, “We agreed to let her come to see you so that she wouldn’t worry from far away and so that she could see you at any time. How could she actually take care of you for an entire night?”

Seeing that Butler Zhou had returned, the Old Madame scolded him, “Butler Zhou, how could you have let her stay here all night, watching over Wei Zhiqian?”

“It’s because I failed to persuade Miss Mo Mo to leave that Miss Mo Mo became so tired.” Butler Zhou did not make excuses for himself.

When the three Tan family brothers heard this, they felt extremely envious.

Mo Mo had never taken care of them like that.

“If we got sick, Mo Mo would definitely take care of us like this too,” Tan Jinsheng said in a very confident manner. He believed in his sister.

“We don’t want to trouble Mo Mo.” Tan Jinqi raised his eyes and looked toward Wei Zhiqian.

“Yes, we want to protect Mo Mo, so how could we let Mo Mo take care of us?” Tan Jinyi glared at Wei Zhiqian’s back.

Wei Zhiqian: “…”

magic Wei Zhiqian took a deep breath. This time it appeared that he had lost.

The Old Madame rushed into the room where Tan Mo had been sleeping. The moment she entered, she started to tiptoe.

But upon seeing Tan Mo, the Old Madame suddenly exclaimed, “Mo Mo!”

And the Old Madame hurried to Tan Mo’s bed.

She could see that Tan Mo’s face was terribly flushed. Although she was asleep, her brows were furrowed into a troubled frown.

The Old Madame touched Tan Mo’s face and exclaimed, “She’s so hot! Butler Zhou, go and call a doctor.”

As the Old Madame was speaking, Butler Zhou had already turned around and run out to call a doctor.

Xu Mingzhen and Tan Wenci entered her room quickly.

Although the three Tan family brothers wanted to go in also, there was only a small area beside the bed, and there was no room for them.

As juniors, they didn’t dare to push themselves forward.

The Old Madame felt extremely anxious and complained to Wei Zhiqian, “Is this how you take care of Mo Mo?”

“Old Madame, don’t blame Zhiqian.” Xu Mingzhen felt extremely worried as she touched Tan Mo’s hot face, but still felt the need to defend Wei Zhiqian. She continued, “Zhiqian himself is still injured, so how could he take care of others? Mo Mo has been really spoiled at home ever since she was a child, so she probably caught a fever after being up all night. In fact, Butler Zhou was here, so Mo Mo really didn’t have to do anything. She probably only sat and watched.”

Xu Mingzhen sighed and caressed Tan Mo’s face as she said, “She was here to take care of Zhiqian, but then she herself got a fever, which caused all of you so much trouble.”

“Don’t say that.” The Old Madam helped Tan Mo sit up and held her in her arms. Touching Tan Mo’s red, hot face, she said, “Mo Mo should be pampered, so how could we let her become over-exhausted? Zhiqian is still to blame for not only getting injured, but also for affecting Tan Mo by making her sick.”

Without waiting for Xu Mingzhen to say anything, Wei Zhiqian took the initiative and said, “I am indeed to blame.”

Wei Zhiqian looked at Tan Mo with a very guilty look on his face.

But what he was thinking was very different from what Old Madame Wei and Xu Mingzhen were thinking.

Since there were so many coincidences that happened with Tan Mo, they couldn’t all be coincidences.

He still remembered that Xu Mingzhen had said that she’d given birth to Tan Mo by a caesarean section, and it hadn’t taken long for the pain of the incision to stop.

When Tan Mo had met Old Madame Wei for the first time, Old Madame Wei had happened to have a headache. Tan Mom had massaged her a few times, and Old Madame Wei’s head hadn’t hurt anymore.

And the more that Tan Mo had visited their house, it seemed as if the chronic headaches that had plagued the Old Madame for so many years had been completely healed.

Tan Mo had come to take care of him all night yesterday. He’d suffered a serious gunshot wound, but today the wound had stopped bleeding, seemed as if it was about to heal, and he didn’t even feel any pain.

Even walking around like this now, he didn’t feel any discomfort.
