Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 139: I Can’t Believe That You’re So Thick-Skinned

“First of all, even if it was easy for me to do, why should I help you? I don’t even know you, so why should I help you? If I don’t help, am I at fault?” Tan Mo spoke disdainfully. “I’m not your mother. Why is it that just because you ask me to help you, I must help you? Do you think that the whole world owes you something and has to help you? Brother, I can’t believe that you’re so thick-skinned.”

“You!” Hao Lunxing was shocked and angry.

How could Tan Mo speak in such a vulgar manner at such a young age?

Tan Mo wanted to remind him that she never uses vulgar language.

She hadn’t said a single swear word.

“Second of all, my Little Uncle treats me as his niece with absolute sincerity, so I must treat him in the same way.” Tan Mo’s expression was resolute as she said, “Since my Little Uncle has made a decision, why should I try to get my Little Uncle to change it? He didn’t make a wrong decision. If even you admit that you were in the wrong, it means that he made the right decision. Since he was right, I can’t get him to change it. I’m not that thick-skinned. And, why should I let him down?

For you?

You don’t deserve it.

“And the third and most important point…”

Tan Mo stared at Hao Lunxing intently as she asked, “Do you know the identity of my Little Uncle?

Hao Lunxing nodded.

Of course he knew.

The whole school knows it.

“And, even though you know, you still leaked the whereabouts of my Little Uncle. You are unreliable,” Tan Mo said. “If my Little Uncle’s whereabouts were leaked and found out by people with malicious intentions, he could be harmed or schemed against. If Little Uncle happened to have plans or important things that needed to be done, they could have been ruined.

“You thought you were just telling Qin Murong where my Little Uncle was, but Qin Murong isn’t tight-lipped. As long as there is a second person who knows something, it can never be confidential again. Moreover, if you can tell Qin Murong, you could also tell other people.

“As long as a third party finds out, it has the potential to be spread.

“You think you just revealed where my Little Uncle was eating and what he was doing, so it’s not a big deal. You didn’t think about what I just said, did you?” Tan Mo was very sure of his response.

Seeing how Hao Lunxing looked shocked after hearing what she had said, she knew she was right.

And these words weren’t deliberately said to scare Hao Lunxing.

Wei Zhiqian had actually been injured before because his whereabouts had been leaked.

These words were from her personal experience.

Because of the previous experience, talking about this now made Tan Mo even more angry.

“Even a 15-year-old girl like me understands the seriousness of this matter, yet a grown adult like you, who looked down on me a little bit before because I was a child, couldn’t think of something so obvious.” Tan Mo showed contempt on her face.

She wasn’t being polite to Hao Lunxing.

It was like how she had never used any green tea art on Old Madame Xu.

Toward Hao Lunxing, she doesn’t need to either.

He might have only revealed Wei Zhiqian’s whereabouts to Qin Murong, but a small incident can have serious consequences.

That time, he was lucky that no one had taken advantage of it.

But what if he hadn’t been so lucky?

How did Wei Zhiqian get injured at the border?

How were his whereabouts leaked?

The Wei family had yet to find any clues.

The other party was very smart and covered his tracks well.

Because of this, Tan Mo had become more and more afraid.

If someone from the Wei family had really leaked his whereabouts, that would be terrifying.

But if it hadn’t been the Wei family, and it was just because someone had accidentally leaked it, just like Hao Lunxing had, it would be hateful.

Hao Lunxing was taken aback, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

He really hadn’t thought of this.

However, Tan Mo, a 15-year-old girl, had thought of it.

Hao Lunxing was unable to squeeze his way out of the situation.

Besides, Tan Mo was indeed right.

He hadn’t taken Tan Mo seriously just now.

In his eyes, Tan Mo was just a lucky junior who Wei Zhiqian had taken a liking to, who was favored by Wei Zhiqian.

No matter how high her IQ is and no matter how smart she is, she is only 15 years old.

In other aspects, he’d thought that it would actually be pretty easy to coax her.

But now, Tan Mo had slapped him in the face.

She had turned his contempt for her into a joke and had also turned him into a joke.

“Do you think that my Little Uncle was only angry at you for leaking his whereabouts? Do you really think that was the only reason that he stopped interacting with you?” Tan Mo chuckled.

“After listening to what you’ve just said, I now know the reason that Young Master Wei was angry. The fact that I disclosed his whereabouts was indeed a very bad judgment, because I didn’t think of the seriousness of this matter.”

Upon hearing Hao Lunxing’s words, Tan Mo shook her head and said, “Wrong, he didn’t stop interacting with you because of this.”

Hao Lunxing was shocked. It wasn’t?

What was it then?

At this moment, Hao Lunxing suspected that Tan Mo was playing tricks on him deliberately or was it that he was really so stupid that he still hadn’t figured out the real reason even now?

“Part of the reason he was angry is that you leaked his whereabouts and that you couldn’t even think of the serious consequences of leaking his whereabouts. But more important, you let him down. He’d interacted with you guys because he thought you guys were talented and he was preparing his own team.

“And when you guys choose to associate with him, you guys were doing so because of his identity and the benefits you guys could get from interacting with him, so you could get more opportunities for yourselves in the future.”

Hao Lunxing was silent.

Unexpectedly, Tan Mo had thought of it all.

Is she really just a 15-year-old child?

How can she be even more mature than adults like they were?

Although he was only 24, in the eyes of many people, he might not be mature enough for his age.

But he was also a student of Beijing University, and this meant that he can’t be judged according to the standards of an ordinary 24-year-old.

But now, in terms of maturity, he had lost to a 15-year-old girl.

Suddenly, Hao Lunxing understood why Wei Zhiqian liked Tan Mo so much.

She was smart and loyal to Wei Zhiqian.

How could Wei Zhiqian not like such a junior?

Hao Lunxing thought he understood, but then he heard Tan Mo say, “My Little Uncle isn’t a snob. It’s not that he doesn’t think you are worthy of being friends with him. If that were true, then he wouldn’t be so good to me.

“However, since you guys were associating with him because of self-interest and weren’t sincerely trying to be friends with him, then don’t blame him for not sincerely being friends with you. Since you guys are motivated by self-interest, then he will interact with you guys on the basis of self-interest. You guys can’t possibly think that my Little Uncle, as the heir of the Wei family, doesn’t even have this insight, can’t see through your ulterior motives, right?

“While he is interacting with you, he is also observing and evaluating you. You, Brother Hao, didn’t even consider the consequences of disclosing his whereabouts and thought it wasn’t a big deal. Based on this alone, you didn’t pass his assessment, and you aren’t qualified to be entrusted by him with big matters.”
