BXBX NOVEL Chapter 659 - Sever Ties
Chapter 659: Sever Ties
The mother and daughter even spoke in exactly the same tone.
In the past, when Yuan Keqing was young, Xu Mingzhen felt puzzled about Yuan Keqing’s awkward personality and who she learned it from.
She initially thought that she simply resembled Yuan Zhengwen.
It seemed that she resembled Xu Mingjing instead.
“I love my daughter. I don’t want to associate with people who always plot against her and can’t stand to see her doing well, even if those people are my biological sister and niece,” Xu Mingzhen said coldly, “After you lot have repeatedly plotted against her, I really don’t see why I should let you through.”
“Sister, you have never forgiven me,” Xu Mingjing said with a sad face. “I always thought that you had forgiven me after I apologized. It seems you have always held a grudge against me. Why didn’t you tell me? I foolishly thought we had worked out all our problems and things were okay now. I even felt guilty that I hadn’t contacted you as much because I was busy. Today, I came to deliver some holiday goods to you. I was especially happy preparing at home. I even thought that I would personally cook and have a good meal with you. Just like before, the two of us could talk about anything happily.”
“If you told me sooner, I would definitely try my best to repair our relationship and not foolishly think that we had mended fences,” Xu Mingjing said with a sad face.
“If apologizing works, then I will destroy your company and just say sorry. Will you forgive me without any ill feelings and happily chat with me as usual? Would you help me without a second thought even if I can’t repay you?” Xu Mingzhen said mockingly.
“Sister, how could you say that?” Xu Mingjing said. “It’s not like we ruined Tanyue Homeware or something.”
Besides, did Xu Mingzhen have the ability to directly destroy their company?
Although Yuanyi couldn’t be compared to Tanyue Homeware, it wasn’t to the extent that Xu Mingzhen could easily destroy it.
Who was Xu Mingzhen looking down on?
Xu Mingzhen sneered. She could not be bothered to say anything to Xu Mingjing. “In short, don’t come to my house anymore. Don’t ever say you have anything to do with us from now on.”
Xu Mingzhen was saying that for the sake of Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian.
Xu Mingzhen was worried that the Yuan family would use this opportunity to use Wei Zhiqian’s name.
The moment she thought of the Yuan family, Xu Mingzhen naturally included Xu Mingjing. They kept using their relations with Wei Zhiqian to use him and take advantage of him. Xu Mingzhen wished she could buy some advertising spots and trending searches to publicly announce the Tan family no longer had anything to do with the Yuan family.
No matter what the Yuan family said, they couldn’t trust them.
“Sister!” Xu Mingjing was so shocked that she raised her voice. “Do you have to be so heartless? I’m your only sister! Aren’t you even going to acknowledge your own sister?”
“Do... do we really have to do this?” No matter what, Xu Mingjing could not let Xu Mingzhen disown her.
Over the years, the Tan family had unknowingly become very powerful.
At first, Xu Mingjing did not put any thought into it and felt that the Tan family was the same as before.
After listening to Yuan Keqing’s analysis, Xu Mingjing finally realized her mistake.
Tanyue Homeware was the number one household brand in China.
It also had a good relationship with the Wei family.
When Tan Mo treated Wei Zhiqian only as an uncle, he already treated the Tan family like one of his own.
Now that Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian were in love, this meant the two families were genuinely in-laws. In that case, the relationship between the two families would be even closer.
In the past, Wei Zhiqian was already good enough to Tan Mo. In the future, wouldn’t they become even closer?
As long as the Wei family was around, Tanyue Homeware would not go downhill.
That was not all. Tan Jinqi was now a director, and Yuan Keqing had just started learning how to act.
Yuan Keqing still needed a lot of Tan Jinqi’s help.
After listening to Yuan Keqing’s detailed explanation, Xu Mingjing was shocked.
The Tan family’s network of connections had unknowingly grown into a dense crisscrossing spiderweb.
It was precisely this reason that she could not afford to sever ties with Xu Mingzhen.
Wei Zhiqian was already very annoyed after listening to Xu Mingjing’s words.
He was so annoyed that he felt disgusted when he heard Xu Mingjing’s voice.
Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo walked over to the Tan family.
The Tan family had unknowingly confronted Yuan Keqing and Xu Mingjing.
The Tan family did not like Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing.
Only then did Wei Zhiqian ask Xu Mingzhen, “Mom.”
The moment he finished his sentence, the Tan family froze in shock, not to mention Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing.
All of them turned their heads stiffly to look at Wei Zhiqian.
They were so stiff that it was as if they could hear the creaking sound of their necks turning.
Among the people present, Tan Mo was the calmest.
After all, Wei Zhiqian had always called Jing Mingzhen this in private.
Tan Mo had long gotten used to it.
Now that Wei Zhiqian had called Jing Mingzhen that, Tan Mo was naturally very calm.
Tan Wenci almost opened his mouth to ask him, “What did you call her?”
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he held them back with difficulty.
“If I were to take action against the Yuan family, is that okay?” Wei Zhiqian asked Xu Mingzhen.
Xu Mingzhen hesitated for a moment. It wasn’t because she couldn’t bear to deal with the Yuan family.
It was because if she were to answer, it would be equivalent to admitting she was Wei Zhiqian’s mother-in-law.
Xu Mingzhen felt Wei Zhiqian was terrible.
Why did he have to call her that at a time like this?
He must have done it on purpose!
Xu Mingzhen looked at Wei Zhiqian with difficulty.
However, the moment Xu Mingzhen hesitated, Xu Mingjing thought Xu Mingzhen was actually talking tough outside but still soft-hearted inside.
Although Mingzhen sounded harsh, in reality, wasn’t it because she couldn’t bear to be cut ties with the Yuan family?
However, Xu Mingzhen immediately nodded and said, “You can do whatever you want to them. I don’t have a problem with it.”
Xu Mingzhen looked at Xu Mingjing coldly and said to Wei Zhiqian, “Anyway, I’m determined to draw a clear line with them and sever ties with them.”
Wei Zhiqian nodded and conveniently flattered her, “Mom, I am so impressed by how decisive you are.”
“Sister, what do you mean?” Xu Mingjing was flustered.
Xu Mingzhen ignored her.
After Wei Zhiqian had confirmed Xu Mingzhen’s stand about this, he said with relief, “Anyone in the Yuan family, including Old Madam Xu?”
Wei Zhiqian did not forget that biased old lady.
In order to prevent Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing from looking for Old Madam Xu and asking Old Madam Xu to put pressure on Xu Mingzhen, Wei Zhiqian specially added Old Madam Xu.
It could be said that he was very considerate.
“As long as anyone comes to pester the Tan family again, the Yuan family can forget about getting away with it.” At this time, Wei Zhiqian had already taken out his phone.
He lowered his head and started entering something on his phone with his head only slightly lowered.
As he lowered his eyes and typed, he said very casually, “Let’s start counting from tonight.”
“What?” Xu Mingjing asked automatically.
What did he mean by counting from tonight?
Xu Mingjing was stunned by Wei Zhiqian’s words for a long time.
Before Xu Mingjing could snap out of her thoughts, she heard what Wei Zhiqian said.
From tonight onwards?
Xu Mingjing’s heart skipped a beat.
