Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

So he had not been entirely convinced about their evaluations of her.

Yet, he was taken aback after listening to her analysis of Qin Murong’s situation.

Now he had finally bought into Wei Zhiqian’s judgment about her.

Tan Mo hadn’t been at the scene the night before. Yet, by only listening to his narrative, she could thoroughly analyze the whole situation.

She was indeed a bright, observant person.

No wonder she had been able to talk Qin Muye into telling on Qin Murong and Qin Muxiao when they were young. Moreover, she had even taught Qin Muye a few tricks, so that she had stopped being bullied by the sisters.

She was sincere yet could see through every facade and bad intention.

Thus, it came as no surprise that Wei Zhiqian loved her so much.

Qin Mufeng put the remaining piece of croissant on his plate and stared at Tan Mo sternly. “Although this may look like a punishment for Qin Murong, it won’t cause any real harm to her. I know that it was tactless of my grandparents. Could you please…”

“I don’t blame them,” Tan Mo replied with a smile. “The elders only did this in order to give my family a proper explanation and declare their stand.

“Besides, I’m not close with them, unlike my relationship with the Wei family elders, who have always treated me as their younger relative. And I, too, have regarded them as my elder relatives. That’s how close we are,” Tan Mo answered plainly. “Furthermore, exiling Qin Murong to Nacheng is, in fact, a kind of punishment. I’d say your grandparents hit the bull’s-eye as they took away the thing that matters most to her.

“I may be able to see the benefits of going to Nacheng, but Qin Murong won’t. Things wouldn’t have turned out this way if she could see beyond her desires,” Tan Mo noted. “She can’t bear to leave the prosperous B City behind, away from all its pleasures, entertainments, and its spotlight. Leaving the city is equivalent to losing her place among the elites. She has always despised every city outside B City. Will she be happy knowing that she’s leaving for Nacheng, one of the small towns she looks down on?

“All the latest fashion updates and celebrity gatherings that she follows are topics that probably no one in Nacheng can relate to. After all, the fashion news circulation certainly won’t be as quick as in B City.

“Moreover, will she behave properly there when she can’t even understand her grandparents’ real intentions?” Tan Mo smirked. “She has a prejudice against Nacheng and the Hu family, thinking that the place and people there can’t match up to her. Things will only become worse at this point as she’ll be overwhelmed with all her negative emotions. Well, this is a vicious cycle.

“Nacheng is a backup plan; a means of escape that her grandparents provided for her,” Tan Mo explained. “At the end of the day, she is still their biological granddaughter. They will never truly be heartless toward her anyway.”

Nonetheless, if Qin Murong wasn’t able to see the bigger picture, this backup plan would be the end of the line for her.

Tan Mo, Qin Mufeng, and the Qin family elders knew that this punishment would be regarded as a protection for others.

Yet, it was a real punishment for Qin Murong.

Qin Muye was stunned after hearing that. Immediately, she turned to look at Qin Mufeng and then Tan Mo.

She was blown away that there was a deeper meaning behind what she had perceived.

Upon seeing Qin Muye’s innocent look, Qin Mufeng turned to stare at Ming Yeqing, who had a sly smirk on his face.
