Chapter 931: Do You Want to Quit?
Wei Mingxiao glanced at the jackets of the men. "Don't tell me you have a signal jammer hidden!"
The more he thought about it, the more certain he was.
Wei Mingxiao didn't do it personally because of his status, but he really wanted to check whether they were equipped with such devices.
Given Wei Zhiqian's nature, it was something he was capable of doing.

"You, stand over here." Wei Mingxiao thought for a moment and still felt that he should search them.
But they did not budge.
One of Wei Zhiqian's subordinates actually dared to disobey Wei Mingxiao's orders.
To these people, could it be that no one but the old folks, along with Wei Mingwen and his son, were considered part of the Wei clan?
They actually displayed such arrogance!
Wei Mingxiao was furious. He pointed his finger at the other man's nose and said, "What? I can't order you around anymore?"
"Remove your coats!" Wei Mingxiao said angrily, "I suspect that you have a signal jammer on you."
Despite what Wei Mingxiao had said, none of Wei Zhiqian's subordinates moved.
"You're in the Wei clan, but don't listen to our orders," Wei Mingxiao said heatedly. "Why? I won't be able to send you away?"
Wei Mingxiao's clamoring attracted the attention of the others.
The old folks still didn't get out of the car.
They sat in the car, still and unmoving.
Wei Zhiqian could handle such a small matter on his own. There was no need for them to be involved.
Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan were only there to hold the fort. They didn't plan on making a move and just wanted to watch the show.
However, the Tan family didn't interfere.
After all, it was the Wei family's show. They could just watch from afar.

It wouldn't look good if they went over.
In any case, they weren't too far away.
They could see and hear everything clearly.
As Wei Zhiqian's fiancée, Tan Mo unhesitatingly went over with Wei Zhiqian.
"Second Uncle, why are you angry?" Wei Zhiqian raised his eyes and looked in another direction, "There are quite a number of owners in this residential area. There are also retired elderly persons here. They come out for a stroll to pass the time. You're making a big fuss here. It's a bit embarrassing for the Wei family."
"They all listen to my orders. If there's anything, just let me know. There's no need to make things difficult for my subordinates. They don't have the final say," said Wei Zhiqian.
"Okay, since you said so, then I'll ask you directly," said Wei Mingxiao. "Why are you getting them to monitor us?"
"To prevent anyone from destroying the evidence, of course," said Wei Zhiqian.
"We never thought of doing that. Why did you get them to watch over us?!" Wei Mingxiao roared.
"Since you have not contemplated it, it doesn't matter whether you are being watched. So why should you mind?" said Wei Zhiqian indifferently, "They didn't block your personal freedom, but wherever you go, they will follow you. They can also attest to your innocence, in case the need arises."

"If there's no one following you, I can accuse you of destroying the evidence. Will you be able to defend yourself?" Wei Zhiqian said with a faint smile.
Wei Mingxiao was livid at Wei Zhiqian's expression that seemed to say "I'm doing this for your own good".
"Then what's with the cell phone signal?" Wei Mingxiao was so irate that he was sputtering. "Why are you blocking our signal? Are you not allowing us to communicate with the outside world? Why don't you just lock us up directly?"
"We have to have people around us. They watch over us, but they don't need to do the same for the rest?" Wei Mingxiao said ferociously, "Why are we treated so differently?! You're so prejudiced even before you take charge; wouldn't it be worse when you take charge?"
"After all, you are Wei Keli's parents and grandparents. I'm afraid that you are the very people who care about him the most." Wei Zhiqian said, "Of course I'm worried that your concern for him will make you want to protect him, so I'm being cautious."
"In the Wei family, if you make a mistake, it will not be tolerated." Wei Zhiqian said, "Including the people close to him, they will also be monitored until the matter is settled."
"This is the Wei family's rule, not something that I came up with." Wei Zhiqian said, "I hope that Second Uncle and Second Aunt, as well as Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, will cooperate so that we are able to investigate this matter."
"If Wei Keli is innocent and has been wronged, then all the more you shouldn't act rashly so as not to make matters worse for him, right? Besides, if he's really innocent, you don't have to do anything. You just have to wait for the matter to be investigated, right?"
"You don't have to hastily call him and tell him what happened," Wei Zhiqian said.
Wei Mingxiao and the others were silent.
Wei Zhiqian had guessed their thoughts so accurately.
"Anyway, he's on his way back now, so he'll know what happened when he arrives," Wei Zhiqian said. "Again, if he's innocent, he will not be afraid of being investigated."
"Isn't there a saying? A righteous person is not afraid of a crooked shadow. This applies to Wei Keli, and it also applies to the four of you. If you have nothing to hide, there is nothing to fear. So what if others are watching you from the side? It is no loss to you anyway, isn't it?"
"Human rights! Do you understand human rights?!" Sheng Yilan said scathingly. "What right do you have to block our signals and prevent us from contacting Keli?!"
"Because I'm the next head of the Wei family, I'm in charge of the Wei family's affairs now. Because the state has its laws and the family has its rules. Because no matter what rights you have, you can't override the customs and rules. You've enjoyed special privileges outside, but wish for the same at home? Doesn't that mean you're above the law and can do whatever you wish?"
"I may not be able to restrain you much outside, but you have to behave yourself in the Wei family's territory! Don't expect the same privileges within the family as you experience outside," Wei Zhiqian said coldly.
It didn't matter that Wei Mingxiao and the other three were much older than Wei Zhiqian.
They were still unable to suppress Wei Zhiqian in terms of imposing manner.
Wei Zhiqian already had the authority of being the clan head.
His words were as if they were naturally not to be refuted by the clan members.
"Please remember that the reason you can be spoiled outside is because of the Wei clan. Since the Wei clan has given you all this, then in the Wei clan, behave yourselves!"
"I was being polite just now, but that doesn't mean I will back down," Wei Zhiqian said coldly, "Don't raise any objections to me. It's useless. I'm using the clan's rules for this matter!"
Even Wei Mingxiao couldn't say anything to refute Wei Zhiqian's words.
Wei Zhiqian had made it clear that Wei Mingxiao couldn't use his identity as an elder to do anything.
Moreover, there were still the old folks watching.
"You should rest well." Wei Zhiqian added, "The signal will naturally recover when Wei Keli arrives."
Chapter 932: Family Scandal Exposed
Sheng Yilan's face was tense.
She was an elder, but was suppressed by Wei Zhiqian.
Her words carried no weight.
Yet, the old folks allowed Wei Zhiqian to behave in this manner.
Recommended for you
"You are not the head of the family yet." Sheng Yilan couldn't bear it any longer, "You just said yourself that you are only the next head, and not the current head of the family."
"As long as you're not the head, it's not up to you to make the decisions in the Wei family." Sheng Yilan said in a low voice, "It's not appropriate for you to be arrogant with us."
"Everything you said earlier is based on the premise that you're head of the family." Sheng Yilan continued, "You're not the head now, so you don't have the power to control us in the name of the family head."
"Then do I have the right?" Wei Mingwen came forward. "I have already given all the powers of the head of the family to Zhiqian."
"If you insist on fixating on this matter, then just take these orders as mine. As the next head, Zhiqian is temporarily unable to exercise the powers of the family head to restrain you, so at the very least, I can do it," said Wei Mingwen icily.
"Now, just remain here and don't even think about letting Wei Keli know anything in advance. Also, don't think that he can take precautions beforehand or make any remedial measures," Wei Mingwen said icily.
Wei Mingxiao and the others were infuriated, and their hearts felt extremely constricted.
Wei Mingwen was obviously shielding and indulging Wei Zhiqian.
They were father and son after all.
Wei Mingxiao and the others had no choice but to wait.
However, not long after, Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing arrived.
Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong recognized Wei Keli's car first.
"It's Keli's car." Li Xiangrong saw it from afar and quickly got out of the car.
Wei Zhijian did likewise.
Seeing them both alight from their car, everyone looked towards the incoming car.
Wei Mingxiao and Sheng Yilan guessed that Wei Keli had returned, so they alighted as well.
Recommended for you
The car slowly came to a stop.
Wei Keli was brought out.
Wei Zhiqian's men were still on either side of Wei Keli, making it obvious that their intention was to guard him.
Li Xiangrong hurried over, and Wei Zhijian followed.
"Keli!" Li Xiangrong called out, and then said unhappily to the two men guarding Wei Keli, "What are you the two of you doing? My son isn't a criminal!"
As for Yuan Keqing, she was also restrained by her arms and was unable to move freely.
However, Li Xiangrong acted as though she didn't see it and kept her silence.
Yuan Keqing gritted her teeth.
She reminded herself that blood is thicker than water.
Not to mention that Li Xiangrong had never liked her.
Recommended for you
Yuan Keqing also knew that Li Xiangrong had only agreed for her to be with Wei Keli because the Yuan family was good and she lacked the ability to separate them.
And she also felt that the Yuan family could be of use to her.
She wasn't sincere in wanting to acknowledge her.
Yuan Keqing didn't say anything about it, but was still warm and friendly towards Li Xiangrong.
Every time they met, she fawned over her.
If she came across anything suitable, she would purchase and gift it to Li Xiangrong.
Especially in front of Wei Keli, she was exceptionally gentle, considerate, and magnanimous.
She never displayed any negative emotions or dissatisfaction because of Li Xiangrong's attitude towards her. She remained warm and respectful towards her.
Even when Li Xiangrong had a bad attitude towards her and Wei Keli comforted her in private, she still used an understanding attitude and tone to express that it was alright, and that she could even understand Li Xiangrong's actions.
In any case, Yuan Keqing couldn't find any fault in front of Wei Keli.
But she had already committed to memory every single thing that Li Xiangrong had done to her.
She was only enduring it for the time being. Once she found an opportunity, she would definitely repay it twofold!
She, Yuan Keqing, wasn't someone who could be easily taken advantage of.
Since she dared to humiliate her like this, she definitely wouldn't let Li Xiangrong off.
In addition, with today's incident, Li Xiangrong didn't even try to pretend that she only had Wei Keli in her heart.
Yuan Keqing didn't show any displeasure on the surface, but she had already wished death upon Li Xiangrong a thousand times.
"He is now a major suspect," Wei Zhiqian said. "All of you will be monitored closely, let alone Wei Keli."
Wei Zhiqian glanced at Li Xiangrong indifferently. "Before showing the evidence to everyone, Wei Keli must be kept under surveillance to prevent him from destroying it."
"What evidence?" Wei Keli's expression changed. There was already panic in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He had been ostracized in Nacheng and had gotten together with Qin Murong.
Wei Keli's ability to conceal things was much better than before.
However, as his mother, Li Xiangrong could still catch the flash of trepidation in his eyes.
She panicked.
She had her doubts before.
But she still held onto hope till the end.
Even though she knew that Wei Zhiqian had come with such a big fanfare.
And he had brought enough people; there was strength in numbers.
He must have sufficient evidence in his hands.
Otherwise, with his character, Wei Zhiqian wouldn't be so arrogant if he wasn't confident.
However, Li Xiangrong still had hope in her heart.
As long as it wasn't beyond remedy, she would never admit to anything.
But now, Wei Keli didn't even know what he had done that Wei Zhiqian found out about, let alone do anything to make up for it.
"Since Wei Keli has already arrived, let's go upstairs together." Wei Zhiqian didn't reply to Wei Keli, but spoke to everyone.
Thus, Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing were grabbed and followed everyone upstairs.
Wei Keli's home was sizeable.
It was a large flat.
But with so many people coming in at once, even the large flat seemed crowded.
"Bring Wei Keli's computer over," Wei Zhiqian said.
Wei Keli came apart.
He still didn't think of the chat records with the marketing account.
What he was panicking about was the short videos stored in his computer.
Yuan Keqing didn't know about him and Qin Murong.
Other than him and Qin Murong, no one else knew.
However, there was also a short video of him and Yuan Keqing.
And Yuan Keqing didn't know that he secretly recorded it using the security camera.
Moreover, if it was released in front of the elders, he would be finished!
The old folks already loathed him.
If they saw this as well...
He would be completely finished.
"Why are you looking at my computer?" Wei Keli said in a panic, "Even if you are my elder, even if you are the next head of the Wei family, you can't invade my privacy!"
"Even if it's a police case, you have to have a search warrant to look at this. You aren't a police officer, let alone your men. Why should you conduct a search!" Wei Keli said loudly.
He wanted to stop them, but his arms were firmly restrained by Wei Zhiqian's men.
He couldn't break free even if he tried.
"Originally, this matter could have been reported to the police and they would have investigated it," Wei Zhiqian said. "However, if the police were to investigate it, it would be a public scandal."
Chapter 933: Why Didn't You Say It Was Me?
"I didn't do it because of the family's reputation," Wei Zhiqian said. "If you think it's alright for the family's scandal to spread, I can call the police and let them search for evidence."
"Jinyi is a victim, but my father-in-law's family still agreed to settle it privately in order to preserve the Wei family's reputation," Wei Zhiqian said, "Otherwise, they are entirely within their rights to report to the police first. We're the party in the wrong, so we can't be so shameless as to stop them from calling the police, can we?"
When Wei Keli heard Wei Zhiqian's words, he didn't know why, but he was dumbfounded.
They actually came to settle the score with him for Tan Jinyi being ridiculed on the internet.
Recommended for you
Wasn't it just a small matter?
Did Wei Zhiqian need to gather so many people and make such a big deal out of it?
Family scandal?
What family scandal!
Tan Jinyi didn't suffer any losses either.
He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen both came out to support him.
They had both agreed with this method of dealing with Tan Jinyi, so who was he to say no?
Was there a need to denounce him with such big fanfare?
"Do you think this is a small matter?" Wei Zhiqian seemed to have installed a monitor in Wei Keli's head.
He knew exactly what he was thinking.
"Your scheme failed, but it doesn't mean that your actions can be overlooked nor excused, or that you can pretend that nothing happened." Wei Zhiqian waved his hand in annoyance, "I can't be bothered to talk to you about this. Even if I did, you wouldn't listen. If you would listen, you wouldn't still be doing these despicable things since the old folks have previously already shared many teachings with you."
"When you were young, you were only indecisive and lacked assertiveness. Other than that, you didn't have any major flaws. I didn't expect you to be so immoral now," Wei Zhiqian said in disgust.
"You knew that the Tan family and the Wei family are in-laws. We haven't even had the opportunity to build up a good relationship, yet as a member of the Wei family, you framed a Tan family member," Wei Zhiqian said, "Not to mention that you've known the Tan siblings since young. Even if you didn't get along as well with the three Tan brothers as you did with Mo Mo, you were still good friends for many years. In spite of that, you could so unhesitatingly frame Jinyi."
"You're such a despicable person; disgusting and repulsive," Wei Zhiqian said coldly. "Your actions have brought shame to the entire Wei family!"
When Wei Zhiqian's men went to get the computer, Wei Zhiqian gave them a look.
Zhou Jingan then showed everyone copies of the evidence that had earlier been printed.
Recommended for you
He had sufficient copies, such that everyone in the Wei family was able to have their own.
The old folks took out their reading glasses and put them on, looking at the printed copies.
"For a chat tool like this, the individual's input shows itself on the right side, and the other party is on the left," said Zhou Jingan. "And the person negotiating on the price with the marketing account is Wei Keli himself."
"In addition, we have also retrieved the bank surveillance footage," said Zhou Jingan. "The next page is a screenshot of this footage, and the following page is a magnified version."
"The person shown in this picture is Yuan Keqing," said Zhou Jingan.
Li Xiangrong glared at Yuan Keqing fiercely.
Needless to say, Yuan Keqing must have instigated Wei Keli to do this.
Otherwise, Wei Keli wouldn't have done this without their knowledge.
If they had known, they would have stopped him.
After glaring at Yuan Keqing, Li Xiangrong said, "But the person in the picture is wearing a hat and a face mask. How can you be sure that this is Yuan Keqing? You can't even see her face; that means she is Yuan Keqing?"
Recommended for you
"Since when can you accuse someone so casually? As long as you can't see her face, you can say who you want her to be," Li Xiangrong said frostily. "Why didn't you say it was me?"
"This person's figure can't be yours," Zhou Jingan smiled.
No matter how well Li Xiangrong maintained her figure, she appeared a little plump due to her age.
However, if she had still been bony at this age, it wouldn't have looked good either.
It was better that she showed off the fullness of her current figure.
Li Xiangrong was gobsmacked.
Wasn't Zhou Jingan openly saying that she had a bad figure?
"We also found out that the account holder is Yuan Keqing," said Zhou Jingan. "This evidence also contains information on the account."
Everything was laid out here, and Wei Keli couldn't deny it.
"I want to check his computer just to let the elders see it. There is indeed this information on his computer, so that Wei Keli won't argue that I forged this evidence again," Wei Zhiqian said sarcastically.
Wei Keli had just opened his mouth when he shut it again.
He was about to say that.
He didn't expect Wei Zhiqian to thwart his efforts again.
Wei Keli couldn't stop him at all. Wei Zhiqian's men took the laptop from Wei Keli's desk in his study.
They turned it on along the way.
When it was placed on the coffee table, the computer was already turned on.
Yu Hanxia went forward and directly opened the Weibo application on the computer.
"This profile picture is the same as the profile picture in the conversation," Yu Hanxia pointed out.
No one had noticed it at first.
But after Yu Hanxia's reminder, everyone looked at Wei Keli's Weibo profile picture.
They then looked at the picture in their hands.
It was indeed the same.
Yu Hanxia opened the private message again. "Wei Keli probably didn't expect to be exposed, so the private messages haven't been deleted. These are the records of his conversations with those marketing accounts."
Everyone looked again, and sure enough, it was the same as in the picture.
"These are all displayed on his Weibo. It can't be tampered with," Wei Zhiqian said.
"There are also his transfer records here," Yu Hanxia said. "This money was deducted from the bank card that Yuan Keqing handled."
"The evidence in everyone's hands also contains the records of the conversations between Yuan Keqing and Shan Zhaowei," Zhou Jingan added. He was afraid that some of them didn't know who Shan Zhaowei was, so he explained, "Shan Zhaowei is the one who said yesterday that Jinyi shouldn't use his words as the title, and that he doesn't deserve to be called an artist."
Yu Hanxia used her phone to switch to Yuan Keqing's account. "This is the conversation record between Yuan Keqing and Shan Zhaowei."
Everyone already had no desire to continue.
The old folks and Wei Mingwen felt that there was no need to do so.
The evidence could not be any more conclusive.
There was no way for Wei Keli to deny it.
As for Wei Mingxiao and Wei Zhijian and their spouses, they were so drained that they did not wish to look at it anymore.
As they looked at the final nail in Wei Keli's coffin, their hearts ached.
It was better not to look at it.
Old Mister was so angry that he threw the backup evidence in his hand onto the ground.
Xiao Menghan quickly pushed Wei Mingwen discreetly.
Wei Mingwen understood and hurriedly went over to comfort Old Mister.
"It's Wei Keli who is unfilial. Please don't ruin your health because of an unfilial descendant," Wei Mingwen said, "Zhiqian called you two here just to be a witness and to know what Wei Keli did. He doesn't want to ruin your health. You have to take care and look after your health."
Chapter 934: Do You Want to Be Expelled?
Old Mister took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down.
"The evidence is all here. I didn't foist these into your computer," Wei Zhiqian said coldly, "Are you going to say that I stole your account to frame you with those conversations?"
Wei Mingwen opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
He felt that Wei Zhiqian had just given Wei Keli a new line of reasoning.
Recommended for you
However, Wei Mingwen also felt that this meant that Wei Keli didn't have an agile mind.
Look at Wei Zhiqian; he could come up with a new idea with such ease.
Wei Zhijian was hoping that Wei Keli could compete with Wei Zhiqian?
He really lacked insight.
Wei Keli couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Needless to say, although the excuse Wei Zhiqian suggested didn't sound very credible, it was at least reasonable.
Wei Keli was currently in a dilemma because if he really said that, no one would believe him.
But he still wanted to give it a try.
Just as Wei Keli was deliberating, Wei Zhiqian said, "Although this excuse sounds reasonable, don't use it. Who are you that I need to go through so much trouble just to frame you?"
"Do you have a higher status in the family, or are you more important than me? Are you greater in ability or IQ? Have you taken up a higher position in a company than me?" Wei Zhiqian pursed his lips, "When it comes to feelings, Mo Mo likes me and not you."
"My fiancée is hundreds of times stronger than yours. That's not right either. Comparing them is simply an insult to Mo Mo," Wei Zhiqian said.
Wei Keli's face flushed red. He had been belittled by Wei Zhiqian to this extent.
However, he was still unable to come up with a rebuttal.
Wei Keli had an idea. He thought that he was being clever and said, "It's because Keqing and Tan Mo don't get along. In order to avenge Tan Mo, you specially came to frame me."
"That's enough." Xu Mingzhen said bluntly. "Where do you get the gall to say these things?"
Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing had already done their best to frame Tan Mo, so Xu Mingzhen naturally wouldn't extend any courtesy to Wei Keli.

Forget about the past friendship.
No matter what, it wasn't as important as her own child.
"If Zhiqian really wants to do something to you or Yuan Keqing, why does he need to use such a roundabout way?" Xu Mingzhen sneered. "Moreover, this method isn't considered smart. Only a fool who thinks he's smart would use such a method."

"Xu Mingzhen!" Li Xiangrong couldn't keep her silence any longer. "Aren't you going too far? You watched Keli grow up."
"What about Keli? If Wei Keli can scheme like this, why should I be speak nicely with him?" Xu Mingzhen snapped. "Moreover, Wei Keli still refuses to admit that he did it. Why are you in such a hurry to defend him?"
Li Xiangrong froze. Xu Mingzhen's tongue could be really sharp.
"Wei Keli, has our family ever done anything to let you down?" Xu Mingzhen glared at Wei Keli. "Tell me, why did you frame Jinyi!"
"Don't say that you were framed. Ask the people in this room. Does anyone believe you?" Xu Mingzhen lashed out. "Your mother has just admitted that it was you who did it. Stop being evasive!"
"Tell me why you framed Jinyi!" Xu Mingzhen questioned angrily.
Of course, Wei Keli couldn't explain it.
Recommended for you
If he did, it would be equivalent to admitting to it.
Moreover, he himself couldn't find a specific reason.
It was probably because he disliked the Tan family.
From the moment Tan Mo betrayed him, he hated the entire Tan family.
However, Wei Keli did not feel that he was taking out his anger on innocent parties.
It was Tan Mo who betrayed him first, and it was the Tan family who was treacherous.
It had all been agreed upon right from the start.
However, because Tan Mo had hooked up with Wei Zhiqian, the Tan family immediately abandoned him. They tried to curry favor with Wei Zhiqian, supporting Tan Mo's and Wei Zhiqian's desire to be together.
They did not even hesitate.
They just wanted to climb up the social ladder. They even used the excuse of supporting Tan Mo's freedom of love. How repulsive!
In recent years, the Tan brothers looked down on him even more.
Wasn't it because they saw him as being inferior to Wei Zhiqian?
Wasn't it just because they saw Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian together that they didn't need him anymore?
If they really looked down on him that much, why did they arrange a marriage when they were babies in the first place?!
Didn't they want him to be the Tan family's son-in-law because they wanted to use him to be in better standing with the Wei family?
Other than him, the Tan family had no other way to get involved with the Wei family.
But later on, Tan Mo hooked up with Wei Zhiqian.
In the beginning, Tan Mo only called Wei Zhiqian 'Uncle'.
The Tan family might have felt that this kind of relationship was not strong enough, so they clung on to him.
They made him think that Tan Mo was his fiancée.
Because of this, Wei Keli had always restrained himself. Even if he met a girl he liked, he did not dare to get involved with her.
Otherwise, why would he and Yuan Keqing drag it out until now?
It was not until Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian got engaged that the Tan family finally revealed their true colors, immediately casting him aside and looking down their nose at him.
It was different from when they first met him and affectionately called him Keli.
If it was not for the Tan's double-dealing, he would not have ended up in this state.
Why did he have to scheme regarding Tan Jinyi?
Wasn't this reason enough?
"You don't want to say it?" Wei Zhiqian raised his eyebrows. "What we covered today isn't the only thing you did wrong."
"I know all the things stored in your computer," said Wei Zhiqian, "Individually, the previous incidents may not be enough to give you a severe punishment. But you have committed too many crimes. Considering them all together is enough to expel you from the Wei family."
"Do you want to be expelled?" Wei Zhiqian said coolly, "You don't have to say it. You can be pigheaded and keep your silence, but the price is to be expelled from the Wei clan."
"When that time comes, you will be nothing. Do you think the Yuan clan will still take a fancy to you?" Wei Zhiqian sneered.
Wei Keli subconsciously turned to look at Yuan Keqing.
Yuan Keqing hurriedly shook her head at Wei Keli.
Anyway, as long as Wei Keli wasn't expelled, he was still a member of the Wei clan.
Of course, Yuan Keqing did not mind showing her unconditional love for him.
However, once Wei Keli was really banished, she would just turn on him.
What could Wei Keli do to her?
Wei Keli heaved a sigh of relief.
As expected, Yuan Keqing truly loved him and would not betray him.
Of course, Wei Keli could not allow himself to be banished.
He knew very well that without the Wei clan, he was truly nothing.
Even if the Wei clan did not give him any resources.
But as long as he was still a member of the Wei clan and was recognized by the Wei clan, he still had value in the outside world.
"You can't do as you please. If you want to expel me, then expel me!" Wei Keli said, "I did not commit a mistake that is serious enough for me to be expelled!"
Chapter 935: Dirty Eyes
Wei Mingxiao couldn't hold it in any longer.
He had been tolerating Wei Zhiqian for a long time.
"Wei Zhiqian! What right do you have to banish Keli from the clan!" Wei Mingxiao stood up, "You are not the clan head yet, don't be too arrogant!"
"Besides, Keli is right. He has made mistakes, but they're not enough to banish him from the Wei clan," Wei Mingxiao said. "The Wei clan has a clear rule about the infractions its descendants must make for them to be kicked out of the clan. Firstly, they make a mistake that causes irreparable damage to the Wei clan. Secondly, they possess poor character, affecting the Wei clan's reputation. Thirdly, they break the law and commit crimes, regardless of the severity."

"Tell me, which did Keli do?" Wei Mingxiao demanded, pointing at Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian was about to expel his grandson from the Wei family.
Why was he still being courteous to Wei Zhiqian?
Wei Zhiqian nodded at Zhou Jingan, who took out his phone and tapped on it before saying to Wei Mingxiao, "Mr. Wei, I have just sent you a few videos. Please accept them."
As soon as he said it, Wei Mingxiao's WeChat application sounded.
Zhou Jingan added a friendly reminder, "I suggest you mute it before playing it."
Wei Keli's expression changed.
Combined with what Wei Zhiqian had just said, Wei Keli was almost certain that these were the videos stored on his computer — the ones that should never see the light of day.
How could Wei Zhiqian have them!!
But, wait. Even before he opened the computer, Wei Zhiqian already had his chat conversations.
It wasn't entirely surprising that he had these videos.
Wei Zhiqian must have gotten someone to hack into his computer.
"Grandpa!" Wei Keli called out hurriedly, terrified that Wei Mingxiao would see the videos.
"Looks like Wei Keli has already guessed what it is." Wei Zhiqian laughed mockingly. "To preserve your dignity, I didn't disclose what it was; it wasn't to keep you here and listen to your constant denials."
"That's not all. There are many more videos. Once it's leaked, without it even being published online, just letting the two of them see it will be enough to cause serious damage to the Wei family's reputation. Furthermore, for him to do such a thing, isn't it enough to say that his character is flawed? We might anger the two families, especially one of them, and they have always been on good terms with our family. However, because of this matter, though they may not turn against us, they will at the very least distance themselves from us. The losses caused will be unimaginable."
Even at this point, Wei Zhiqian still kept it to himself and didn't reveal the Qin and Yuan families.
Recommended for you
He didn't care for shielding the Yuan family.
What Wei Zhiqian wanted was to protect the Qin family.
Especially when Yuan Keqing was here. She would go berserk if she heard about it.
As long as Wei Mingxiao understood what he said.
Although Wei Mingxiao wasn't very bright, he was much better than Wei Keli.
Wei Zhiqian wasn't afraid that Wei Mingxiao wouldn't understand.
"He's already met two of the criteria. In addition, the video was shot without the consent of the people involved," said Wei Zhiqian. "This is already a crime."
"He alone has fully met all three criteria. Do you think it's sufficient to be expelled from the Wei family?" asked Wei Zhiqian.
Hearing Wei Zhiqian's words, Wei Mingxiao already could surmise what he meant.
Not only Wei Mingwen, but the others also understood.
Recommended for you
Even Yuan Keqing looked towards Wei Keli as she frantically tried to guess what it could be, her eyes darting wildly about.
Was It really as she deduced?
Or did Wei Zhiqian deliberately say that in order to cause misinterpretation?
Wei Keli couldn't have done that!
Who could make the Wei clan fear them?
Certainly not the Yuan family.
Wei Mingxiao carefully turned off the volume before turning on the video.
After watching for a few seconds, he immediately turned off the video with an ugly expression on his face.
What an eyesore!
Sheng Yilan had also came over to take a look and happened to see it.
Sheng Yilan's eyes widened as she looked at Wei Keli in disbelief.
She had always thought that her grandson was gentle and polite, and lived up to his name. To think he could actually do such a thing!
Thinking about what she had seen, she felt terrible.
Even if it was just for a few seconds, she wanted to kneel down and beg for a new, untainted pair of eyes.
Sheng Yilan could no longer bring herself to look directly at Wei Keli.
As long as she looked at him, all she could think about was the scene that flashed before her earlier.
Wei Mingxiao gritted his teeth. Now he couldn't say anything in defense.
His face was full of anger.
Wei Mingxiao suddenly looked at Wei Keli and thundered, "You're still not going to tell us the truth?!"
"Wei Zhiqian even has these things. What's the point of having those conversations earlier? How can he malign you on something like this?" Wei Mingxiao understood that Wei Zhiqian could decide to release the video in front of them. It'd be enough to suppress Wei Keli to the point of no return!
He would never be able to hold his head high nor rise up again in the Wei clan.
They were all members of the Wei clan. Even if they saw the video, they couldn't wait to help hide it, let alone leak it out.
"Hurry up and tell us!" Sheng Yilan fumed. "Don't force us to abandon you!"
Seeing that Wei Mingxiao and Sheng Yilan had changed their attitudes, Wei Keli had no choice but to admit, "Yes, I did it."
"You're asking me why I did this?" Wei Keli taunted, "The Tan family has never been good to Keqing. Since Keqing has made a request, as her fiancé, of course I have to help her. If I can't even satisfy my fiancée's wishes, wouldn't I be a good-for-nothing?"
"You always look down on me, saying that I can't do anything right. In your eyes, I'm useless. I'm even an idiot," Wei Keli said. "But I'm not! I want you to know that I'm not!"
"I'm not so hopeless that I can't even satisfy my fiancée's wishes!" said Wei Keli.
Yuan Keqing's brows twitched. She felt that something was amiss.
Could it be that Wei Keli had pushed all the blame onto her?
How could Wei Keli hide his thoughts from the people present?
Even Yuan Keqing had doubts, let alone the others.
Wei Mingxiao had an indescribable look on his face. He didn't want to believe that his grandson, whom he had always thought was not bad, was actually such a disgrace.
Wei Zhijian's face was tense. He really wanted to scold Wei Keli for being such a fool.
But he held it in.
At this time, he couldn't make things worse for Wei Keli.
Wei Zhiqian sneered and said, "You've made yourself out to have such an affectionate person and pushed all the responsibility to Yuan Keqing."
"Although Yuan Keqing isn't a good person, you've washed your hands off of the matter. It's really contemptible for you to use your fiancée as a shield at this critical moment." Wei Zhiqian looked at Yuan Keqing, he raised his eyebrows and pointed in Wei Keli's direction with his fingertip.
"When he's able to use the Yuan family's money, he tried to please you, and was willing to get engaged with you," said Wei Zhiqian. "And now, he has dragged you into this mess in order to get himself off the hook."
Chapter 936: Twice As Stupid
"Do you really think that Wei Keli framed Jinyi for you and didn't have any selfish motives?" Wei Zhiqian laughed mockingly, "In his opinion, Momo not liking him and not wanting to be with him is an insult to him."
"And the Tan Mansion didn't support him. They didn't ignore their own daughter's wishes and force Momo to accept him. That is betraying him and belittling him." Wei Zhiqian mocked.
Wei Keli's thoughts were clear.
Xu Mingzhen smiled, "We've guessed it too. It's probably like this."
Recommended for you
She thought that Yuan Keqing also felt that about the Tan mansion.
As long as the Tan Mansion treated Tan Mo better than Yuan Keqing.
Yuan Keqing felt that it was unfair. She felt that the Tan Mansion had let her down.
Yuan Keqing and Wei Keli were a good match.
Xu Mingzhen suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Yuan Keqing, "I suddenly remembered. Aren't you the same? As long as we treat Momo better than you, you will feel that we have let you down and it's unfair to you. You don't even realize that Momo is our biological daughter. What's wrong with us treating our own daughter better? Don't you have your own parents? They treat you better too."
"No, they actually only treat you well. They don't treat Momo well at all. Other than making use of her and being dissatisfied, they don't have any other thoughts toward Momo. What you get is far more than Momo." Xu Mingzhen said, "You received the love of the Tan Mansion for a junior. You received the physical and psychological support the Tan Mansion gives to a junior. However, Momo didn't get anything from the Yuan Family."
"Just like that, you are still greedy and complain that we treat Momo better than you. Shouldn't we treat our daughter well?" Xu Mingzhen felt that Yuan Keqing's idea was ridiculous.
"So, you and Wei Keli are really a perfect match." Xu Mingzhen's face was full of sarcasm, "Both of you are extremely selfish. You think that everyone in the world should only treat themselves well. Treating their close relatives better than yourselves is the other party's fault. It's the other party who betrayed you and it's unforgivable."
"Xu Mingzhen!" Li Xiangrong rebuked angrily. "Even if you look down on Keli. There's no need to say such harsh words!"
"Isn't it?" Xu Mingzhen mocked.
"At that time, it was indeed you and I who agreed that Keli and Tan Mo would get married when they grew up. It was indeed your family who broke the agreement first." Li Xiangrong said.
Xu Mingzhen raised her eyebrows, "Did you forget? I also said that we can let the two children try to get along when they are young. It still depends on the children's own wishes. If the two children don't have any feelings towards each other, I don't wish to force them."
"Wei Keli claims that Momo was his fiancée but he didn't ask for our family's or Momo's permission. What's a fiancée? Only those who are engaged are called fiancées." Xu Mingzhen said, "Are Wei Keli and Momo engaged? Not to mention engaged, they haven't even dated!"
"Momo would only talk to him if she was crazy! Even without our consent, he had always considered Momo as his fiancée. Yet he is constantly entangled with Yuan Keqing?" Xu Mingzhen scolded angrily, "You still have the face to think about Momo!"
"We only said that we would give the children a chance to get along and see if there was any possibility of developing a relationship, but we didn't directly make an agreement with your family. Don't think too highly of yourself." Xu Mingzhen said coldly, "Momo has never liked him. In the past, she treated him as her elder brother. But later, Wei Keli did some stupid things that made Momo unable to even call him elder brother."
"Wei Keli himself knows what he did. It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist just because he doesn't admit it. Even though he doesn't admit it, he knows it very well in his heart." Xu Mingzhen said, "Just like that, you still blame Momo for letting him down?"
Recommended for you
"It's just not liking someone. What's there to be sorry about?" Xu Mingzhen sneered. "Wei Keli is too good at finding excuses for his own evilness and narrow-mindedness."
Xu Mingzhen no longer paid attention to Li Xiangrong.
After being interrupted by Li Xiangrong, she almost forgot what she was going to say to Yuan Keqing.
Xu Mingzhen adjusted her breathing, and her original train of thought slowly returned.
Only then did she say to Yuan Keqing, "How important do you think you are in Wei Keli's heart?"
"If something happens today, he can expose you. If anything happens again, will he continue to push the responsibility to you?" Xu Mingzhen smiled. "In the future, there may be even greater crimes that you can't bear."
Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing, any one of them could be considered quite pretentious.
They were both toxic and stupid.
Yet, the two of them were still together.
When the two of them were together, they were twice as pretentious and twice as stupid.
Recommended for you
Xu Mingzhen had no doubt that if she let the two of them off this time, the two of them would definitely do something even worse in the future and reap the consequences.
Yuan Keqing looked at Wei Keli uncertainly.
Xu Mingzhen smiled and said, "I'm not trying to sow discord between the two of you."
In any case, even if she said that Wei Keli was bad, Yuan Keqing would still not separate from Wei Keli.
Yuan Keqing was together with Wei Keli. Could it be that she really liked him?
Or was it all because of the fact that Wei Keli was a member of the Wei family.
If Wei Keli was really chased out from the Wei family, would Yuan Keqing still care about him?
"She is trying to sow discord!" Wei Keli quickly told Yuan Keqing.
Wei Keli did not want to lose the Yuan Family's support.
Wei Keli hated the Tan Mansion to death.
It was fine if the Tan Mansion did not help him, but now they still looked down on him.
Even if the Yuan Family wanted to help him, they still stopped them.
"Don't worry, brother Keli, I won't believe them." Yuan Keqing and Wei Keli were very affectionate with each other, "Ever since I was young, my aunt has not liked me. I am already used to it. I will not believe my aunt's words."
Wei Keli felt slightly relieved, though not totally relieved.
"You asked me to tell you the reason, and I did." Wei Keli said to Wei Zhiqian.
"Although you didn't tell the truth, we added the explanation for you." Wei Zhiqian said, "And you dragged Yuan Keqing down with you. The effect is better than telling the truth directly."
Wei Keli: "..."
Wei Keli immediately looked at Yuan Keqing nervously.
Wei Zhiqian had so much to say!
Yuan Keqing shook her head at Wei Keli and indicated to him that she would not think too much of it.
However, her heart constantly felt cold.
Wei Keli was really a heartless, irresponsible, cowardly, and selfish man.
In the past, she really thought that Wei Keli was not bad.
However, the longer she knew Wei Keli and the longer they spent together, the more she understood how unbearable Wei Keli was.
If such a man did not have the Wei family as a backing.
Just considering him individually, he had no redeeming qualities at all.
Rather than saying that Yuan Keqing liked Wei Keli, it would more suitable to say that she liked the Wei family.
Chapter 937: Punishment
"You said that as long as I tell you the reason, you won't expel me from the Wei family." Wei Keli said.
Wei Zhiqian did not reply him. Instead, he walked over to the people of the Tan Mansion and asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Jinyi, what do you think? We are seeking justice for Jinyi this time, we will have to respect your opinions."
"On the way here, your Mother-in-law and I have already discussed it." Tan Wenci said.
When the three Tan brothers heard Tan Wenci directly use "your Mother-in-law" they immediately felt that the situation was hopeless and Tan Wenci was no longer insistent.
Recommended for you
This was because they had been called "Father-in-law and Mother-in-law" by Wei Zhiqian many times. They were used to it, and it felt like it was normal.
"We didn't expect that you would give him such a severe punishment." Tan Wenci said, "However, the person involved is Jinyi. Jinyi, what do you think?"
"He doesn't have to be expelled from the family." Tan Jinyi said, "I'm not a saint. However, if Wei Keli is expelled because of me, our relationship with the Wei family will be awkward."
"At least, it will be awkward with Wei Keli's side. In the future, even if Momo doesn't see Wei Keli, she will have to meet Wei Mingxiao, Wei Zhijian, and the others." Tan Jinyi said, "I know you will protect Momo. Including the two old folks, Uncle, and Auntie, they won't let Momo suffer. But it's enough to suffer from the scornful glance of Wei Mingxiao and the others every time."
"With Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing's methods, even if they don't target our family in the future, they will also make a big mistake in other matters. Sooner or later, there will be a time when it's justified enough that Wei Mingxiao and the others won't be able to say anything against it." Tan Jinyi said.
"Third brother, there's no need to consider me. Just tell us how we can help you vent your anger." Tan Mo said.
She did not want her third brother or anyone from the Tan Mansion to be helpless because of her. She would rather be wronged than let the bad guys get away with it.
"It's not only expelling him from the Wei family that can make me release my anger." Tan Jinyi said with a smile, "I don't think it's a good idea to expel him from the Wei family now, even if it's not because of you."
"Actually, there's a legitimate reason." Wei Zhiqian said.
"Is it because of those videos?" Tan Jinqi asked.
Seeing Wei Zhiqian look over, Tan Jinqi said, "Yuan Keqing is in the video. With Wei Mingxiao and the others' personalities, it's not enough a legitimate reason for them to expel Wei Keli because of Yuan Keqing."
"Then there's only Qin Murong. When it comes to the Qin family, even Wei Mingxiao and Wei Zhijian would rather sacrifice Wei Keli than let the Wei family and the Qin family become enemies." Tan Jinqi said.
"When the Qin family married Qin Murong to Nacheng, it was actually a form of protection for her rather than giving up on her. If she was allowed to stay in B City, even if she married someone else, with Qin Murong's character, she would not let you and Momo go so easily. However, if she doesn't give up, no matter what she does, even if the Qin family is on good terms with the Wei family, you will not let her go."
"The elders of the Qin family are well aware of this, which is why they married Qin Murong to Nacheng. Even though the living conditions are a little worse than living in B City, it can at least guarantee her safety. They won't let her have the chance to court death." Tan Jinqi said.
"Just based on this, the Qin family cannot be said to have completely given up on Qin Murong." Tan Jinqi said, "Once Wei Keli is really expelled from the Wei family because of this matter, it would be bad if the Qin family were to be curious and find out the reason."
"Our family cannot bear the responsibility of the Qin family and the Wei family having a feud." Tan Jinqi said. "The Tan Mansion needs to avoid suspicion."
Recommended for you
Therefore, from the Tan Mansion's point of view, no matter what the reason was, they could not allow Wei Keli to be expelled because of Tan Jinyi.
Wei Zhiqian nodded, "I understand."
Thus, Wei Zhiqian raised his voice and said: "This time, it was my Father-in-law and Mother-in-law who spoke up for you and Jinyi is forgiving. They told me that there was no need to expel you from the Wei family."
Wei Keli covered it up on the surface, but he was very disdainful in his heart.
Could the Tan Mansion be so kind?
They must have known that they could not really expel him, so they went with the flow and pretended to be a good person.
"But even though you don't have to be expelled from the Wei family, since you made a mistake, you have to be punished." Wei Zhiqian said, "Especially this mistake. It not only affected Jinyi but also involves more things that Wei Keli did because of this matter."
"Fortunately, we discovered it early. Otherwise, if it would really cause a big mistake, so what if we expel Wei Keli from the family? Can we still make up for it?" Wei Zhiqian said, "So, the video mistake is the biggest mistake. Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Second brother, and Second Sister-in-law, you don't have any opinions on this, right?"
Actually, according to Wei Zhiqian, Tan Jinyi's matter was already serious enough.
No one provoked or offended him.
Recommended for you
Just because he was narrow-minded and malicious, he wanted to harm others.
Was it not serious enough?
However, Wei Zhiqian knew that he could not shut Wei Mingxiao, Wei Zhijian, and the others up with this matter.
Sure enough, hearing Wei Zhiqian say this, Wei Mingxiao and the other three really had nothing to say.
They really did not want to become enemies with the Qin family.
"All the properties, car properties, and so on given to Wei Keli by the family will be taken back." Wei Zhiqian said. "Everything will be taken back."
"I will naturally have no control over what Second Brother's family gave to Wei Keli." Wei Zhiqian said, "Furthermore, the Wei family will officially announce to the public that they will no longer care about Wei Keli's matters. Wei Keli will be responsible for everything that he does. We will also publicly announce that we will no longer provide any family support to Wei Keli. Wei Keli will never hold any position in the Wei family, nor will he enter any of the Wei family's companies or take part in any of the Wei family's businesses. Other than the Wei family recognizing him as a member of the Wei family, he will never be able to enjoy anything in the Wei family."
Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing's expressions changed at the same time.
Needless to say, were those not what Yuan Keqing was aiming for in the Wei family?
In the end, other than being recognized as a member of the Wei family, Wei Keli no longer had any of those things.
She could not help but hesitate. Was there any use in continuing to be with Wei Keli?
As for Wei Keli, his entire body was cold and stiff.
Previously, Wei Zhiqian had said that he would cut off the Wei family's support for him.
In the future, he would no longer be able to enjoy the Wei family's resources.
However, what had been given out was not taken back.
The Wei family also did not announce this matter to the public.
Therefore, the outside world did not know and he could still rely on the Wei family's name to swindle others and seek benefits for himself.
Was the Yuan Family not swindled over by him like this?
However, once the Wei family announced this news, would it not seem as though he was expelled from the family to the outsiders?
Chapter 938: His Heart Is Rotten
Other than remaining in the Wei family, he had nothing else.
To put it bluntly, he was of no value to others.
If he could not bring people equal benefits, who would bother with him?
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Second Brother, and Second Sister-in-law, do you have any objections?" Wei Zhiqian asked the four of them.
Recommended for you
This time, Wei Keli had really gone overboard.
Faced with the punishments that Wei Zhiqian had said, they had no reason to refute.
Seeing that the four of them were silent, Wei Zhiqian knew what they meant.
He said: "Since the four of you don't have any objections, then let's do it."
Wei Zhiqian handed this matter over to Zhou Jingan, "Tell Lawyer Feng to draft an official notice based on what I said. Also, contact the public relations department and ask them to sort out all the questions that the outside world might ask, and then sort out the answers. For public relations notice, don't let anyone find any loopholes in the language or the words."
"Yes." Zhou Jingan went to the corridor to contact him.
He had no intention of leaving for the time being, in case Wei Zhiqian needed to contact him again.
It was better for him to deal with Wei Zhiqian's instructions here.
"Finally, Wei Keli, apologize to Jinyi for what you've done." Wei Zhiqian said, "It doesn't matter if your apology is sincere or not, but you've done something wrong. There's still a need to apologize."
Everyone: "..."
Even if he did not mean it, he still had to apologize?
Who knew that Wei Zhiqian was staring at Wei Keli.
It did not matter if it was sincere or not. It was a formality that needed to be done.
Especially for Wei Keli.
He never thought that he was wrong.
The one who was wrong would always be someone else.
Recommended for you
If he were to admit his mistake now, even if it was not sincere, it was difficult enough to make him say the words 'sorry'.
Wei Zhiqian did not need him to be sincere. He just wanted to make Wei Keli feel embarrassed.
Whatever made Wei Keli feel embarrassed had to be done.
He wanted Wei Keli to lose all his popularity in the outside world, to lose all the possibility of relying on others and trying to leach off others.
"Hurry up and apologize." Old Madam could not be bothered to say anything more to Wei Keli.
This person's heart was rotten. He could not be taught well.
Did they not reason with him enough in the past?
But he did not listen at all.
He did not listen at all and simply felt that what they said was not right.
He felt that they were being unfair to him.
Recommended for you
How else could they teach him?
They had taught him what they needed to teach and said what they needed to say.
Old Madam could not be bothered to say anything now. She only said, "Hurry up and apologize. After apologizing, we'll go home too."
"Day by day, because of you, we've offended so many people." Old Madam said unhappily.
"Fortunately, the Tan Mansion is one of us." Old Mister said, "If it were someone else, the matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily."
"That's true." At this moment, Tan Jinyi actually took the initiative to speak, "Otherwise, just teacher and Uncle alone wouldn't be able to let the matter pass so easily."
Thinking of He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen, the Wei family was not afraid.
They were not willing to provoke them for no reason.
These two were not alone in their fights either.
Everyone had their own connections.
They were both artists, so if they joined forces, and said anything bad about the Wei family.
The Wei family would also have a headache.
"Look!" Old Mister said to Wei Keli again.
Wei Keli: "..."
What did he mean?
Tan Jinyi simply did not know what to say. Why would he interrupt at this time!
How could He Haoyan and Dong Yanzhen be compared to the Wei family?
They actually used the two of them to threaten the Wei family.
How ridiculous!
Old Mister Wei saw Wei Keli's behavior and knew that he was taking things for granted again.
Old Mister laughed coldly and did not say anything more. He only hurried him, "Quickly apologize. After apologizing, we'll leave."
"There are so many here. It's so crowded and messy. It's making it hard for people to breathe." Old Mister's face was full of annoyance as he urged.
Wei Keli looked at his parents.
Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong did not say anything. It was obvious that they wanted Wei Keli to quickly apologize and settle the matter.
What kind of sh*t had happened today? They simply had enough!
Moreover, the most important thing was the follow-up.
They still had to quickly settle the matter of the video.
Wei Keli scheming on Tan Jinyi was not a big deal anymore.
An apology was even more so.
Seeing that no one was willing to speak up for him, Wei Keli could only lower his head and quickly say, "I'm sorry."
He lowered his head and did not look at Tan Jinyi.
He did not want to look at Tan Jinyi's smug face.
The Tan mansion indeed did not mind if Wei Keli's apology was perfunctory.
In any case, it was just that.
Tan Wenci then said to the two old folks and Wei Mingwen and his wife: "Don't take this matter to heart. Wei Keli's matter has nothing to do with our relationship."
Anyway, he had long since stopped treating Wei Keli as a member of the Wei family.
However, it was not appropriate to say this in front of the Wei family.
As long as Wei Keli was not expelled, he would not say this in front of the two old folks.
Wei Mingwen did not care about Wei Keli anymore, so he said, "Although it's reasonable, I still feel embarrassed. It's all because of Wei Keli."
"Let's go down to get some fresh air first. There are so many people here, and it's so crowded that I feel suffocated." Wei Mingwen said.
Xiao Menghan smiled and said, "Since we're all together today, let's go to our house together. It's been a while since we came together and chatted."
"Let's go to the Old Mansion." Old Madam continued, "It's not fun to stay in the old mansion all day long just the two of us. I'm happy to chat with you."
They could go to the Wei Mansion together.
But their own home was still more comfortable, wasn't it?
She and Old Mister were already so old, so their physical strength was a little lacking.
It was more comfortable in their own home.
Besides, they were the eldest elders in the family, so they still had the privilege to be willful for a while.
Thus, everyone agreed and left together.
Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo naturally did not stay.
Wei Mingxiao stood up. Because Yuan Keqing was here, he could not say anything to Wei Keli.
Besides, there was a generation gap between him and his grandson.
Wei Mingxiao decided to talk to Wei Zhijian in private and let them discipline Wei Keli.
He had never been so humiliated before.
Today, because of Wei Keli's shameful deeds, his face was also completely disgraced!
Ever since he was born, he had never been as embarrassed as today.
Even before Wei Mingwen was born, he was regarded as a strong candidate for the head of the Wei family.
Later, when Wei Mingwen was born, his Patriarch ability was awakened at a young age.
He was obviously much older than Wei Mingwen, and his ability was not bad.
But he was outdone by Wei Mingwen.
But even then, the humiliation was not as great as the moment he saw Wei Keli's video.
Wei Keli had done such a shameless thing, he did not even want to look at Wei Keli anymore.
Chapter 939: What Could I Have Done?
"We're leaving too." Wei Mingxiao said coldly to Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong. Without even looking at Wei Keli, he left with Sheng Yilan.
Wei Zhijian let out a breath and said to Wei Keli: "Come with me to the study room!"
Wei Keli had no choice but to lower his head and go with Wei Zhijian.
"You come too." Wei Zhijian said to Li Xiangrong, "Keqing, wait here for a moment. We'll talk to Keli."
Recommended for you
"Okay." Yuan Keqing nodded and agreed. She was still thinking about whether she should continue with Wei Keli.
She also wanted to be alone.
No matter what their family discussed, she was not interested for the time being.
Thus, Wei Keli followed Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong into the study room.
Wei Keli walked in the middle while Li Xiangrong followed behind.
After entering the study room, Li Xiangrong had just closed the door.
Wei Zhijian suddenly slapped Wei Keli's face.
It was evident that Wei Zhijian used all his strength in this slap.
Wei Keli staggered backward and almost fell down.
He covered his face and the left side of his face was numb from the pain.
He felt his brain buzzing.
His face seemed to have swelled up. It was numb and buzzing.
"What's with that video?" Wei Zhijian asked.
Wei Keli had no reason to hide it from his parents.
"I wanted to use those videos to control Qin Murong and Yuan Keqing." Wei Keli said. "When I was in Nacheng, I saw the Hu family's status in Nacheng with my own eyes. They clearly called the shots."
"I want to do business with the Hu family, and I needed Qin Murong's help. But that woman Qin Murong is very deceitful. She might betray me one day." There were many reasons for betraying him.
Recommended for you
Either she would not keep her mouth shut, or she would turn hostile and refuse to acknowledge him.
Anyway, Wei Keli did not trust Qin Murong.
"Although the Yuan family is nothing, at least they can give me some help." Wei Keli said, "But the previous incident also gave me a warning."
"Now I'm relying on the Yuan family, so I'm afraid that the Yuan family won't support me anymore." Wei Keli put down the hand that was covering the left side of his face.
Even though he could not see it, he could feel that the left side of his face was swollen.
As he spoke, the left side of his face was in severe pain, and the corner of his mouth seemed to have been cut open. It was as if salt had been sprinkled on his wound.
"So, it is in order to bind the Yuan family and for them to have no choice but to support me. It's also for the sake of me not having to constantly worry about the Yuan family not supporting me any time and feeling uneasy. I also have to curry favor with Yuan Keqing, curry favor with the Yuan family, and be their humble follower."
"That's why I've decided to turn the tables." Wei Keli said, "First, I have to firmly control Yuan Keqing."
"Even if the Yuan family is nothing among many families, they would at least not want to be disgraced. They definitely won't want their daughter's matter to be leaked." Wei Keli said, "When that time comes, won't they only be able to invest in me? Even if Yuan Keqing regrets it in the future and wants to break up with me, she'll have to first ask me if I agree."
"Unless I give up on her of my own accord, she won't be able to dump me and climb up the social ladder." In other words, he could climb up the social ladder, but Yuan Keqing could not.
Recommended for you
"Today's matter has strengthened my determination to control Yuan Keqing." Wei Keli raised his face, "I'm even more certain that I didn't do anything wrong. Otherwise, I would still have to worry about whether Yuan Keqing would break up with me because I lost my power."
"With the video as control, even if Wei Zhiqian said those punishments today and it made no difference from expelling me from the family, I'm not afraid that Yuan Keqing would break up with me or betray me."
"Didn't you say so? You have to take the initiative into your own hands to do things smoothly." Wei Keli raised his head and said.
"But we didn't tell you to use such despicable methods!" Li Xiangrong almost did not recognize her own son.
She was a woman. No matter how much she hated Yuan Keqing and Qin Murong.
But in this kind of matter, she could still relate with them.
Being threatened by Wei Keli with such matters, as a woman, was too pitiful!
If Wei Keli had the ability, why would he use such a despicable method? To control a girl with such despicable methods?
"What else could I have done?" Wei Keli said righteously, "Wei Zhiqian took away all my power and resources, and I have nothing. I don't even have anything that can attract them."
"These two people, both of them put benefit first." Wei Keli said, "I am still a young man that the Wei family values and my future is bright. Of course, they are willing to be on good terms with me. Qin Murong Is on good terms with me because she wants to use me to return to B City. Yuan Keqing has been trying to curry favor with me, chasing after me because I used to be one of the best among the younger generation of the Wei family. She wants to use me to enter the Wei family and compete with Tan Mo."
"It's even more so for the Yuan family. They want to become in-laws of the Wei family and obtain the resources of the Wei family just like the other in-laws of the Wei family." Wei Keli's analysis was logical.
"But now, I have nothing. "The last time I brought Yuan Keqing to the Old Mansion, those two old fogeys and Wei Zhiqian belittled me to the point that I was useless and didn't give me any face at all." Wei Keli recalled the last time, he gnashed his teeth in hatred. "They even let Yuan Keqing know that not only was I not valued in the Wei family, but I was also detested by the people in power in the Wei family. She could see that I probably had no future in the Wei family."
"Although I had already coaxed her last time. But Yuan Keqing isn't stupid. She already had doubts in her heart. Besides, other than helping her negotiate for her next movie, I still haven't brought out any evidence which suits my identity better." Wei Keli gnashed his teeth, "I can see that Yuan Keqing and the Yuan family are watching."
"If I had the power and resources in my hands, would I need to use such a method? Do you think I don't know how despicable this is? But what can I do! It's because I have no other way, I can only rely on myself. I really can't think of any other way. That's why I did this."
"Do you still think that I'm despicable?" Wei Keli's eyes were red. "If I hadn't been forced into a corner, who would be willing to use such a method?"
"Do you think that I can't see grandpa and Granny's disdain and disappointment towards me? But you've never thought of it from my point of view. I'm just like a drowning person struggling to survive, having no choice but to make the last and only choice." Wei Keli said.
"I never regret my choice. Especially today, after Wei Zhiqian's punishment, I'm even more thankful that I have something on them. This way, even if I have nothing, I'm not afraid that Yuan Keqing will turn hostile and refuse to acknowledge me. The Yuan family will have no choice but to Invest in me properly and wait for my return. I won't let them invest for nothing."
Chapter 940: She Has Never Changed
"Even so... You can't do this!" Li Xiangrong's tone was much weaker than before.
She still disagreed in her heart, but her heart ached for Wei Keli.
Look at how far Wei Zhiqian had pushed Wei Keli!
If Wei Zhiqian gave Wei Keli a way out, Wei Keli would not have ended up like this.

She still trusted her son.
If he had not been forced to a certain extent, he would not have done such a thing.
Wei Zhijian did not speak. No one knew what he was thinking, but the anger on his face was gone.
When Wei Keli saw it, he knew that the anger between the two of them had dissipated.
Wei Keli was not good at dealing with other things, but he was good at dealing with his own parents.
After a while, he gave the two of them time to vent their remaining anger.
Only then did Wei Keli say, "Dad, Mom, Yuan Keqing is still waiting outside. She should be considering whether she should continue to be with me."
"What do you think? If you still want the Yuan family to continue to support us, you'd better give her some promise." Wei Keli said.
"I got it." Wei Zhijian glanced at Li Xiangrong.
Seeing Li Xiangrong nod at him silently, Wei Keli nodded.
"Your mom and I will convince her." Wei Zhijian said.
Wei Keli heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this matter was over.
Moreover, he could still keep those videos.
As long as he kept them, they would be a very useful weapon for him.
"Go out." Wei Zhijian said to Wei Keli and then went out with Li Xiangrong.
Wei Keli followed behind them.

Yuan Keqing was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She had not thought about it yet.
It was not good for her to think about it alone.
She wanted to go home and discuss it with her parents.
At this moment, Wei Zhijian's family came out of the study room.
Yuan Keqing smiled as if nothing had happened. "Uncle, Auntie, I've been waiting for you. I wanted to say hello to you before I leave."
"Keqing, I won't beat around the bush." Wei Zhijian smiled and said, "What do you think about Wei Zhiqian's punishment for Keli?"
Yuan Keqing smiled innocently, "What's the big deal?"
"Uncle, Auntie, are you worried that I'll break up with brother Keli after hearing this?" Yuan Keqing looked sincere, "What kind of person do you think I am?"
She stood up. "I like brother Keqing because of his personality. If I betray Brother Keqing now, am I still human?"

"I'm not Tan Mo. I won't betray brother Keqing." Yuan Keqing looked at Wei Keli with deep affection.
"Besides, I like brother Keqing, not his family background." Yuan Keqing said, "The power and influence of the Yuan family are indeed inferior to that of the Wei family, or even far from it. But I've always wondered whether it's really better to have more money, power, and influence?"
"No matter what level it is, I always feel that it can continue to develop and become more rich, powerful, and influential. There's no end to it." Yuan Keqing looked like she did not want to fight for anything, "But compared to our family in the past, it is much better now. In the past, we still had to rely on the Tan Mansion. Now, when I go out, I can be called a rich second generation."
"I think this is already very good. Besides, brother Keqing doesn't have nothing. He still has Uncle and Auntie. He is still a member of the Wei family and hasn't lost everything." Yuan Keqing said gently, "When we are together, my family's money is enough for us to use. It is also enough for brother Keqing to start his own business. Moreover, Uncle and Auntie won't just watch brother Keqing start his own business with difficulty and not care about anything."
"So, we actually have a lot of things. What is this little difficulty in front of us?" Yuan Keqing said with a smile, "As long as brother Keqing and I are stable together, we will definitely get better and better. The little setback in front of us is nothing to me."
"No matter how difficult it is now, would it still be as difficult as my situation in the past?" Yuan Keqing's eyes sparkled as she said, "When I was young, my dad was still working in Tan Mansion's company relying on my uncle's job. He relied on the salary my uncle gave him to live on. In order to allow my dad to work in my uncle's company more safely, my family tried to curry favor with Tan Mansion in all aspects. My mother tried to curry favor with my aunt and my cousins."
"As for me, I have to fawn over my cousin at such a young age. I have to give in to her no matter what. No matter what it is, whether it was delicious food, anything fun, or anything good-looking, my cousin will choose first. As for me, I have to be careful about my cousin's mood. I have to make her happy. If she is slightly unhappy, I have to immediately apologize and coax her."
"Otherwise, cousin will have to say bad things about me and my father in front of uncle, which will affect my father's job." Yuan Keqing's eyes were red, and her eyelashes trembled as she lowered her eyes.
"My father was chased out of uncle's company because cousin was dissatisfied that brother Keli treated me better than her, so she said bad things about me and my father in front of uncle." Yuan Keqing said.
Li Xiangrong sneered in her heart.
She clearly remembered what Yuan Keqing was like in the past!
Even if she was unhappy with Tan Mo now, how could she lie through her teeth thinking that what Yuan Keqing did in the past was right?
When Yuan Zhengwen was kicked out of the company, she even said that Yuan Zhengwen and Yuan Keqing deserved it.
Even now, she still thought so.
However, she could only secretly think so in her heart.
After all, they still needed to depend on the Yuan family.
Li Xiangrong could not treat Yuan Keqing with contempt as she did in the past.
Now, she could only secretly curse at Yuan Keqing in her heart, but she still had to pretend to agree with Yuan Keqing on the surface.
In the past, Li Xiangrong still wanted to squeeze the Yuan family's money dry and let Wei Keli dump Yuan Keqing.
But now, Li Xiangrong changed her mind.
She wanted Wei Keli to marry Yuan Keqing.
In this way, as her daughter-in-law, Yuan Keqing could be controlled by her.
At that time, she did not have to go against her heart to curry favor with Yuan Keqing. She could say what she wanted to say and behave however she wanted with Yuan Keqing.
She would return all the grievances she had suffered these days to Yuan Keqing.
However, Wei Keli was moved as he recalled the past.
He recalled how pitiful and helpless Yuan Keqing was in the past, how much she relied on him, and how much she trusted him.
It turned out that Yuan Keqing had never changed.
Even now, Yuan Keqing's heart was still filled with him.
Wei Keli thought of the days when he was with Yuan Keqing in the past.
Especially when he was still a young man in high spirits in the Wei family.
He was praised.
At that time, he still had a lot of resources and power in the Wei family.
But now, he had nothing.
If he could, he really wanted to go back to the past.
