“Then why would I have your room cardkey?” Wei Keli was confused.

“This…I don’t know...” Yuan Keqing said. “Why do you have my room cardkey, and why are you asking me that?”

“The room cardkey I originally took should have been Tan Mo’s,” Wei Keli admitted his culpability.

Anyway, Wei Zhiqian knew everything already, so he had no reason to hide the truth anymore.

As for his parents, they would not even blame him.

If they blamed him at all, it would only be because his plan had not been meticulous enough and had been found out by Wei Zhiqian.

“Then…how could this room cardkey have become mine?” Yuan Keqing put on a wronged expression. “I had no issues with my room and simply wanted to use the hot spring. Who knew that brother Keli would suddenly enter my room? I don’t have any idea what happened...

“I am a young girl, do you think...could it be that you think that I am so shameless that I would purposely reveal my body to you?” In front of Wei Keli, Yuan Keqing had always been careful and gentle. She didn’t even allow herself to speak loudly.

However, in this sort of situation, she had to let Wei Keli see her integrity and self-respect.

Otherwise, if Wei Keli really believed that she had been in cahoots with Wei Zhiqian to scheme against him, how could she ever expect to win over Wei Keli in the future?

“I want to ask brother Keli. Where did you get this cardkey? I am certain that I did not give it to you. Moreover, before I came, I didn’t tell you that I was going to come over, right?” Yuan Keqing sniffled and carefully glanced at Li Xiangrong.

“I know that Auntie does not like me, which was why I did not tell you that I was coming and did not plan to meet you but kept a low profile. Anyway, this is a stand-alone villa. I played with my cousins and didn’t get in the way of other people.” After the careful glance Yuan Keqing had sent Li Xiangrong’s way, she spoke with a lowered head.

On the sidelines, Li Xiangrong was so angry that she felt as if a puff of smoke was caught in her throat and would neither go up or down.

To think that this little girl was using this ploy on her...

She was trying to sow discord between her and her son while she was standing right in front of her!

HAH!

She had seen countless little sl*ts.

Since they had been young, there had never been a lack of sl*ts around Wei Zhijian.

There were all different types.

Even though Wei Zhijian was already at a fairly advanced age, there were still young ladies who thought of myriad ways to get close to him as they tried to find a shortcut to get rich.

Li Xiangrong had seen many of them in the past, but she realized that Yuan Keqing’s skills were truly superior.

She was young, but her skills were unexpectedly better than 90 percent of those she had seen before.

Moreover, right in front of her, she had tried to sow discord between her and her son

She truly had courage and nerve!

“I feel extremely wronged by your words,” Li Xiangrong said in a cold voice. “You and I have met only a few times, and I neither like or dislike you. As we are not familiar, I have not been warm to you, but I was also never cold. Could it be that not treating you with enough passion means that I do not like you?

Li Xiangrong sneered. “Your expectations are too high. People should not be so greedy. Those who want something that does not belong to them only make others look down on them further.

“Originally, I did not have any feelings toward you. It does not matter to me if you are around or not,” Li Xiangrong said. “However, now you are trying to malign me in front of my son and trying to sow discord between us.

“I don’t care who does it, but, as a mother, this is something which is not forgivable!” Li Xiangrong released her anger and said, “You are still a young girl, but your thoughts are already not righteous.”

“I did not mean to make you angry. I was thinking that I did not want to be in anyone’s way and did not expect Wei Keli to show up. Was that wrong?” Yuan Keqing lowered her head and did not know what to do next.

“Don’t digress,” Wei Zhijian reminded her.

Wasn’t Li Xiangrong indeed misled by Yuan Keqing?

“Right,” Li Xiangrong realized.

Wei Keli looked at Yuan Keqing with suspicion.

Had Yuan Keqing changed the topic on purpose?

Yuan Keqing said, “I only mentioned it. I kept a very low profile when I arrived. Other than my family, I didn’t tell anyone I was here.

After she had explained that, Yuan Keqing asked again, “Brother Keli, I still don’t know where you actually got the cardkey?”

“I had originally planned with Qin Murong that she would get Qin Muye’s cardkey and pass it to her contact. That person would wait for me and pass it to me. I was…” Wei Keli’s voice suddenly stopped.

His expression changed and he stood up suddenly. “This was all engineered by Wei Zhiqian!”

Wei Keli did not even call him uncle when Wei Zhiqian was not around.

Since Wei Zhiqian looked down on him to such an extent, he could see that he could not rely on Wei Zhiqian anymore.

He knew he had to appear respectful when he was standing in front of him.

However, forget about it in private!

“That person who gave me the key told me that Tan Mo had found problems in her villa, so she had asked the hotel to change villas, and she moved there. That person also gave me the room cardkey. He brought me over and I saw…” Wei Keli said and lowered his head to look at Yuan Keqing.

Yuan Keqing’s eyes and nose were red from crying.

She raised her head and was looking at Wei Keli with teary eyes, as if she was miserable from being suspected by Wei Keli.

As he looked at her, Wei Keli could not help but think of how she had looked in the hot spring.

His suspicion toward Yuan Keqing was gone in an instant.

He even blamed himself for suspecting Yuan Keqing.

She was so kind and fragile.

It was already bad enough that she was being bullied by others. How could she have known how to pull off this elaborate scheme?

Moreover, she had always treated him with sincerity and would not harm him.

Wei Zhijian’s expression darkened.

He believed Wei Zhiqian’s words now.

His son was stupid!

Even if Wei Zhiqian had sent someone to lure Wei Keli there.

It did not mean that this matter was not related to Yuan Keqing and did not mean that Yuan Keqing had not been in cahoots with Wei Zhiqian.

However, with Wei Keli’s reaction, it was evident that this idiot may not believe it.

Now, Wei Zhijian started really considering whether it was possible to have another child with Li Xiangrong.

When Wei Keli was ten, it could be explained that he was a bit stupid because he was young and na?ve.

However, he was 23 now!

They could not use his age as an excuse anymore.

If he was still like this now, he was not na?ve, but stupid...

“Let’s go!” Wei Zhijian could not be bothered to say anything else and stood up.

Wei Keli turned his head and secretly gave Yuan Keqing a look.

Yuan Keqing nodded to show that she understood.

They would keep in contact.

Let’s not worry about the mess now.

Previously, when Wei Zhiqian had exited Yuan Keqing’s villa, he had seen that the Tan family had unexpectedly not left yet and seemed to be waiting outside for him.

Wei Zhiqian felt flattered.

“Uncle!” Tan Mo ran over, hugged Wei Zhiqian’s arm, and said, “Dad decided to wait for you here and then we can all go back together.”
