When 099 waited out of the Maple Grove Leisure Center, Mo Qianni was already panting because of running.

Seeing that Yang Chen was still holding her hand, Mo Qianni pretended to cough, and her face didn't know if she was shy or because of sports, and she was red.

"What's wrong, Miss Mo, you have a bad throat?" Yang Chen asked pretending not to know.

Mo Qianni glared at him, "Let go of your pig's trotters!"

Yang Chen smiled, and he didn't blush, but he still let go of the white and tender hand, although the texture of the hand was really good, and he also explained by the way, "Miss Mo, you are not good at what you say." Pig's trotters can't bend to grab your hand. ”

Mo Qianni, who already knew that arguing with this guy would not end well, didn't bother to say more to him, and walked straight towards the car.

When the two of them got on the road, Yang Chen looked at the back and saw that there were no people and cars catching up, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Qianni smiled a little playfully: "It turns out that there are cheeky and scared people, are you worried that Zhou Dongcheng will chase after you?"

Yang Chen was really worried that the sissy would catch up, and smiled awkwardly: "Miss Mo is really exquisite, she can think of such a profound question." ”

"Don't worry, although he is from the underworld, but in this circle, he is known for his humility and politeness, and he can't see the domineering of those young masters, and he never forces people. ”

"As soon as you say it, he seems to be very kind...... Yang Chen muttered.

Mo Qianni stretched out her finger and pressed the volume button on the steering wheel, turned off the music in the car to a minimum, and said: "Of course, it is impossible to be so kind all the time, if he is really so dangerous, then everyone will not be afraid of him." I'm just saying that if you don't provoke him, or don't harm his interests, Zhou Dongcheng will always treat you very gently, which is not very similar to his father. ”

"Have you seen Zhou Guangnian yet?" Yang Chen asked.

Mo Qianni glanced at him like an idiot, "Of course, Dongxing Group is not a small enterprise, and it is not very unusual for us to see Zhou Guangnian in some public places." But to be honest, that old man really doesn't look like a businessman, even if he has been whitewashing all these years, but every time I see him, I feel that the whole person is wrapped in darkness, gloomy and panicked. ”

Otherwise, how could he be the underground emperor of the Eastern District? Yang Chen felt that Zhou Guangnian's appearance was more normal.

Speaking of this, Mo Qianni was silent for a while before she said, "In return for your help to me today, I will give you the opportunity to choose a place to eat." ”

When Yang Chen heard this, he was glad that he finally didn't have to follow Mo Qianni to some strange places, thought about it, and said, "I want to eat hot pot!"

Mo Qianni glanced at him, "The weather is not yet winter, what kind of hot pot to eat, it will get acne." ”

"You said let me choose, so what do you think should be eaten?" Yang Chen asked aggrievedly.

"Eat food stalls. ”

"Still eating food stalls!?Sister, didn't you say that I was given a chance to choose!?" Yang Chen smiled bitterly.

Mo Qianni snorted, "You said it, I'm talking about opportunity, not the right to decide, the place you chose was vetoed, now let's go to the food stall!"

Close her eyes in pain, this woman is too good at cheating!

。

Half an hour later, Yang Chen sat face-to-face with Mo Qianni in the food stall restaurant of Xiangsao, with a few Sichuan-style side dishes in front of him, and the red and bright chili peppers could make Yang Chen spicy to death.

Because it was still early, there were not many people around the food stalls, and compared to the last time, it seemed quite deserted, and the cool breeze of early autumn was blowing, bringing a slight chill.

Mo Qianni took a sip of liquor, saw Yang Chen's appearance of being a bullied child, and said unhappily: "What kind of expression do you have, you are still bitter when I invite you to dinner." ”

Yang Chen wiped the spicy sweat on his forehead, "It's not like you have eaten like this since you were a child, you must know that it is rare to eat such spicy food abroad." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, it turns out that the high-achieving student in front of me still returned from abroad, and a wild girl from a small mountain village like mine really can't be compared. Mo Qianni said mockingly.

Yang Chen was too lazy to bother with her, suddenly remembered something, and asked with a serious expression: "How are you going to deal with the problem of your stepfather Zhang Fugui, I didn't know the reason before, I just looked at you as if you were sad these days, and now it seems that it should be that man who gives you a headache." If you need help, I'm idle, you know. ”

Mo Qianni's chopsticks paused, raised her eyes to look directly at Yang Chen, and asked, "Have you been paying attention to me?"

"Uh......" Yang Chen smiled, she couldn't say that every time she walked in front of her, she would sneak a few glances, and always stare at her ass, so she just said: "My colleagues in the office said that you were not in a good mood, and I just noticed." ”

Mo Qianni had a faint disappointment in her eyes, and said softly, "Do you remember the last time we came here, I answered a phone call?"

"Yes. Yang Chen still remembers that he was "forcibly hugged" that night!

"It was my mother who called, and she said that Zhang Fugui was going to come to Zhonghai to work, and asked me to pick him up and help him make arrangements. Mo Qianni sneered: "Actually, why did he work so hard to work, he had a lot of gambling debts in our hometown, if I hadn't helped him pay it off, he would have been beaten to death by those people...... But his reputation there was too bad, so he had to come to Zhonghai. ”

"You know his virtue, why did you let him come?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

"Mind hearing a long story?" Mo Qianni asked rhetorically.

"If you don't bring me here to eat next time, I'm willing to listen to you......" Yang Chen said as he tried to negotiate.

"No way. ”

"Uh......" Yang Chen smiled gracefully, "You better talk about it." ”

The corners of Mo Qianni's mouth lifted slightly like a victor, and then she said lightly-"I told you last time that when I was thirteen years old, my father died, and my mother remarried Zhang Fugui. Zhang Fugui was one of the few unmarried men in the village, he was still young, and he had always liked my mother, so my mother finally agreed. In fact, at that time, Zhang Fugui didn't like gambling so much, although his family was poor, we could still make ends meet. ”

“…… But about a few months later, my mother was already weak because she was farming every day, so she fell ill and couldn't get out of bed. I was only 13 years old at the time, and I stayed at home after attending the village primary school and did not go to junior high school, and in fact we did not have a junior high school there. ”

"At that time, I asked Zhang Fugui to take my mother to the nearest small village to see a doctor, because I was afraid that after my father left me, my mother would also leave me. If that happens, I'll be an orphan for real. I was scared and kept begging Zhang Fugui...... I always refused to call him dad, but that time I kept calling him 'dad' and 'dad' in order to beg him, ......"

"But Zhang Fugui suddenly became so that I didn't know him...... He didn't listen to me at all, and didn't do anything except go to the village chief and ask for some herbs for me to fry for my mother......"

Later, it was the neighbor's aunt who told me that Zhang Fugui was too poor and had no money, and even if he went to the hospital in the township, he would not be able to see his mother, let alone buy medicine, and even if he took the bus to the nearest township, he could not pay for the ticket. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Qianni's voice became a little hoarse, her eyes were slightly red, and she poured herself a small glass of white wine and drank it all.

"Then your mother, she ......" Yang Chen didn't ask.

Mo Qianni said: "Of course, my mother got better later, and I don't know if it was God's mercy or the village uncle's herbs were really useful, but that time I was sick, and my mother suddenly seemed to be a few years older......."

"However, I was still very scared, and I thought at the time, what if my mother got sick again, but we still didn't have the money to treat her......?

"So you came to Zhonghai alone?" Yang Chen suddenly said.

Mo Qianni nodded, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Don't you think it's ridiculous, stupid? A girl who is not yet fourteen years old, pretending to be very mature, but in fact doesn't understand anything, she took the train to Zhonghai alone, wanting to make money to treat her mother." ”

"Not stupid, but you're amazing, and I'm curious how you got the money to buy a train ticket. Yang Chen asked.

Mo Qianni's eyes were a little evasive, hesitated, and said: "I stole someone's wallet at the station...... After speaking, she asked in a low voice: "Will you look down on me, think that I am very shameless, I have done such a shameless thing, and I can still say it with confidence." ”

What is it to steal a wallet? I have robbed a bank...... Yang Chen thought to himself, but naturally he didn't say it, he just shook his head honestly and said, "No, people always make mistakes." You're at least much more noble than me, I've been in the game twice. ”

Mo Qianni finally smiled and continued: "You may also know something about what happened after that. After I came here alone, I tried to study on my own, and I got help from several fellow villagers such as Xiang's sister-in-law, and some help from the welfare home, and went to junior high school. Later, because Ruoxi's grandmother, the old president of Yulei International, came to our school to give a speech by chance, I was favored by her and cultivated me. Since then, I have really been able to raise my head in Zhonghai, if there is no old president, there would be no Mo Qianni today...... You should be able to understand why I was so angry when I found out that you scoundrel had married Ruoxi. ”

Yang Chen nodded knowingly.

The most precious kindness in the world is nothing more than sending charcoal in the snow. Although Mo Qianni said it seems to be light, it is obvious that a girl who comes out of a remote mountain village, who is helpless and even dispensable in the world, can enter the real school, get in touch with all this in the upper class, and make her an elite in the business community of China Shipping. What Grandma Lin Ruoxi gave to Mo Qianni was definitely not only material help, but also a spiritual pillar that supported Mo Qianni. Of course, Mo Qianni's efforts along the way must be several times greater than ordinary people, and the ups and downs are probably something she can experience.

"Eventually, I finally made money, and I remember when I sent the first money to my mom, my mom cried for a long time on the phone, but we were all happy...... Mom knew I was growing up, and I knew that I was finally able to take care of her......"

However, that was also the beginning of Zhang Fugui's obsession with gambling, he knew that I could receive a good salary every month, and after he took root in Zhonghai, he gambled more and more. From a few cents and a few dollars at the beginning, to a dozen or twenty bets with some people, until the past two years, it has been about a few hundred. Mo Qianni sighed lightly.

Yang Chen frowned, "Then why don't you let your mother divorce him, let your mother leave him, and live in Zhonghai with you?" With your income, you are fully capable of making the mother and daughter live well, why bother with that gambler?"

Mo Qianni laughed miserably: "He is a shameful gambler for you, and an incompetent and shameful stepfather for me...... But for my mother, it was the man who took her in when she was most lonely, the man who accompanied her for more than ten years. No matter how bad Zhang Fugui is, he hasn't done anything hurtful to my mother, and he has always been by her side......"

"So for the sake of your mother, you have been giving money to help Zhang Fugui fill his gambling debts? and even promised to let him come to Zhonghai?" Yang Chen already understood the reason for the matter, and felt a sigh, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, if it wasn't for Mo Qianni to say it herself, who would have known that this beautiful high-level in front of the celebrity would have such a gloomy back?

Mo Qianni nodded, "What else can I do, I can't divorce my mother, my mother can't refuse Zhang Fugui's hard request, and I can't refuse the request of my only relative." ”

"Do you think your mother loves Zhang Fugui?" Yang Chen asked.

Mo Qianni was stunned for a moment and said: "If you don't love him, you won't stay with him all the time in that poor country, even if she knows that her daughter already has a house, a car and a career in the bustling city, she is still silently with Zhang Fugui, guarding the dilapidated house and two acres of land." ”

"How can you be so sure, I guess, maybe your mother doesn't want your career to be jeopardized because of her, after all, if you let some people know your true background, it may be against you at work. ”

"I don't care!" Mo Qianni was a little excited, she really didn't expect this, she was a little bit sober by Yang Chen, and suddenly felt a little sober, "Do you think it's really possible to be like that? Mom isn't because she loves Zhang Fugui, but because she's afraid of delaying my future?"

Yang Chen thought for a moment and smiled weirdly, "If you are willing to believe me, we can do an experiment, and after that, everything will fall into place." ”

"Experiment?" Mo Qianni looked at Yang Chen in confusion, but out of instinctive trust, she nodded slightly.
