“He didn’t even consider the most basic manners and made such a mistake. If he doesn’t come back in time, it will be regarded as a punishment for him.” Old Mister said with a cold face, “Ms. Yuan is an outsider. Even if she is in the wrong, it’s not our place to say it.”
The two old folks would never take the initiative to ask Yuan Keqing to come again on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Even if they did not mention it, Yuan Keqing would still come.
However, it was absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to invite her.
“But now, Ms. Yuan isn’t married into the Wei family yet. If you don’t let her accompany her parents to fulfill her filial duties and come to our family to celebrate the New Year,” Said old mister, “If the news gets out, outsiders will know. They will think that our family is overbearing and not allow their daughter to celebrate the New Year in their home before she even enters the family. Our family did nothing wrong, yet will be labeled as unreasonable. Isn’t it unfair?”
“Not only that, but they would also feel that Ms. Yuan is too eager to curry favor with the Wei family. She isn’t married into the Wei family yet and can’t even care about her own parents.” Old Madam continued, “No matter what, it won’t sound good when people talk about it.”
Old Madam kept a straight face, “Keli, you are not young anymore. When you were not here, I heard your mother and Granny talking about your job. They said that your business is doing well now. I think you have improved. But even if you’re doing well at work, you’ll have to take care of these etiquettes and common sense when it comes to your personal life.”
Wei Keli was initially in high spirits that day, but he did not expect that Yuan Keqing coming with him would make the two old folks unhappy again.
Originally, Wei Keli thought that the two old folks were biased against him.
No matter how well he did, the two old folks would not acknowledge him.
But just now, Old Madam said that she knew that his performance at work was good.
Although she did not say anything to praise him, these words were undoubtedly an affirmation to him.
This made Wei Keli so excited that he could not help but tremble.
He clenched his fists and restrained himself.
Therefore, Wei Keli thought that the two old folks were actually satisfied with his work ability now.
The two old folks’ dissatisfaction was only directed at Yuan Keqing.
Perhaps, he really should not have brought Yuan Keqing here today.
He did not think too much about it at first.
It was Yuan Keqing who kept telling him that he could return to the old residence in high spirits now that his business had made a success.
Let those who looked down on them know that they were wrong.
Let those people know that no matter which aspect, Wei Keli’s choice would not be wrong.
At that time, when he saw how happy Yuan Keqing was for him, he thought about how Yuan Keqing had also been wronged in the Wei family.
Seeing how Yuan Keqing said that they would come back together so naturally, it was as if they had returned home in glory.
Wei Keli agreed without thinking too much.
He also felt that it was a very natural thing for the two of them to come back together.
Moreover, even though Yuan Keqing had been wronged in the Wei family, she still did not go home to complain.
Otherwise, even with the conditions that Wei Zhijian had previously discussed, it would still be a little difficult for the Yuan Family to invest in him.
However, he had forgotten that Yuan Keqing was only his fiancée, they were not husband and wife yet.
It was unreasonable for her to abandon her parents and come to the Wei family for the so-called reunion dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year.
Yuan Keqing was not related to the Wei family, so how could this be considered a reunion?
Wei Keli could not help but think if Yuan Keqing had not come, would he not have been criticized by the two old folks?
The two old folks would only praise him for doing a good business?
Praise him for his ability?
It was only because Yuan Keqing was around, and because this matter was not done well, that his business success was all forgotten.
Wei Keli did not have any other thoughts at the moment. He was only angry at Yuan Keqing.
If Yuan Keqing had not taken the initiative to come with him, such an unpleasant incident would not have happened that day.
Did Yuan Keqing not think of such a simple matter?
No, Yuan Keqing would definitely think of it.
But she put herself in such a position.
In Yuan Keqing’s heart, she would always be the first.
Therefore, Yuan Keqing would not care about his interests at all. She knew that the old folks would not like her, yet she still followed Wei Keli.
Wei Keli thought gloomily in his heart. In the past, Yuan Keqing was always gentle and considerate, putting him first in everything.
She always thought of him.
How did she become like this now?
He did not dare to anger the old folks anymore. Wei Keli still wanted to use his outstanding performance in business to get some support from the Wei family again.
“Keqing, I’ll send you back first.” Wei Keli said.
Of course, Yuan Keqing was unwilling, “But, my parents have probably started eating. They all know that I’m coming here, so if I go back just like this…”
How embarrassing.
Yuan Keqing definitely could not say that.
“They don’t know that I’m going back at all. They won’t wait for me. By the time I go back, they might have already finished eating.”
But this time, Wei Keli would not let Yuan Keqing do whatever she wanted. “How can the New Year’s Eve meal be finished so quickly? I’ll send you back first and bring you back tomorrow.”
Yuan Keqing was not very willing.
Wei Keli’s face darkened, and he said in a low voice, “I remember that you were very sensible in the past, always thinking of me. Why have you changed now?”
“Okay, I’ll go.” Yuan Keqing said goodbye to the two old folks with tears in her eyes and left with Wei Keli.
On the way from the main hall to the door, Yuan Keqing thought about it.
She could temporarily give in on this matter.
It was not because of Wei Keli.
It was because the two old folks had a firm attitude. She knew that it was impossible for her to stay.
That was why she gave in.
But she definitely could not say that when she was with Wei Keli.
They left the main door of the Old Mansion.
After getting into the car, Yuan Keqing said, “Brother Keli, I endured today’s grievance for your sake. You do know that I always think of you.”
Wei Keli turned to look at Yuan Keqing, not quite understanding what Yuan Keqing meant.
Yuan Keqing’s eyes were moist as she said: “But, Brother Keqing, I’ll also be tired if I am always thinking of you. I hope that you can also think of me for once.”
“All this time, I have been thinking of you, thinking of your successes and failures, and your feelings. So much so that I completely ignored my own pain and suffering, and had to endure grievances, completely losing myself.” Yuan Keqing looked at Wei Keli eagerly, “Brother Keli, can there be a time when you can also think for me?”
Wei Keli’s heart softened at her words, and he thought of how good Yuan Keqing was.
Thinking of how Yuan Keqing had suffered too much, she was anxious to get the approval of the elders.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer.” Wei Keli said nicely. In any case, he did not need to take responsibility for his good words.
“I’ll send you back today. I’ll pick you up first thing in the morning.” Wei Keli said, “The old folks also said that Tan Mo isn’t here today, but will come to pay New Year’s greetings tomorrow. If she can do it, so can you. If you come tomorrow, no one can say anything, and the two old folks can’t say anything either.”
Yuan Keqing wanted those words from him.
She was worried earlier that Wei Keli did not plan to let her come the next day because of the two old folks’ attitude.
