Chen Mo sat on the mahogany sofa and drank the Pu'er tea in the cup in two sips.

He was already thirsty, and he was a little embarrassed to trouble Pan Dongdong's mother, so he picked up the purple sand teapot and poured a few cups to drink. It wasn't until he was glared at by Zhuo Yitian that he knew that he was restrained.

The expensive furniture under the buttocks is also found in the Tiangong Clubhouse. Last time, a security guard sneaked to the VIP room to sleep during the day, and slept on this mahogany sofa, and then was beaten half to death by the security captain, and he couldn't go to work for several days. Now Chen Mo is sitting on it in a dignified manner, but he is not comfortable, and he always feels a little awkward.

Pan Dongdong went back to the room, and glanced at Chen Mo when he left, as if he had something to say. Chen Mo found that she looked completely different from the school in front of Zhan Shanhu and her family, and almost never smiled.

A domineering girl shouldn't be like this.

Liang Min was sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Since the arrival of the bejeweled woman, his face has looked much better, and he has gradually become more talkative.

Chen Mo knew that he was probably laughing at his appearance just now, but he didn't care. Tea is drunk, and even eating and drinking are pretending, so isn't it suffocating to death when you go to the toilet?

This pot of tea is made of Xiaguan top Pu'er, a piece of 84 cakes, about 30,000 yuan, and there is no market. Liang Min's taste is exactly the same as his own, so he wants to remind Chen Mo and let this soil bun lead the market.

As the wife of the deputy mayor, Huang Yanqiu has always had the power to suppress the surname in her aura, no matter at home or outside, as long as she speaks, it is often difficult for others to interject. Of course, at this moment, she did not forget to bring the topic to her son at the right time, so that he could participate in a seemingly unnutritious discussion.

Talking nonsense is a kind of ability, and being able to talk nonsense with key people is even more of a skill. Liang Min is still too young to understand the reason, but he can see that he is already trying his best to show his enthusiasm, which makes Huang Yanqiu quite pleased.

After hurrying to Pan's house, Huang Yanqiu immediately noticed that her son was strange, and originally thought it was nervous, but later slowly realized that something was wrong. When Jia Qing talked to the girl with fairy makeup, he couldn't help but have a look of love and pity, which was completely different from the usual performance on the scene. Liang Min's sentence "The hall is not up, but the kitchen is not", is actually not a lie. Huang Yanqiu has always regarded Jia Qing as her first opponent, in addition to her appearance and conversation, she thinks that she is also slightly inferior in scheming. Jia Qing is a light surname, and it is rare to see the emotional exposure, and it is even more unheard of to treat outsiders like this.

"This young lady is a bit of an eye-catcher, where is she tall?" Huang Yanqiu saw that Jia Qing had not been introduced, and only asked casually after chatting for more than ten minutes.

"Miss is out to sell, you are scolding me!" Zhuo Yitian replied lightly.

Huang Yanqiu didn't speak until this time, originally because of her identity, but she didn't expect to touch a nail that was extremely rude, and she was dumbfounded and couldn't answer for a while.

"You kid, how did you talk to your Aunt Huang!" Jia Qing complained about Zhuo Yitian, and said, "This girl is the granddaughter of Old Man Zhuo, the youngest in the family, and she is too spoiled to look good." Yanqiu, don't mind. ”

Although she was blaming, she knew it as soon as she heard it. Huang Yanqiu didn't care about this, after thinking for a long time, her expression changed slightly, "Which old man Zhuo?" Could it be General Zhuo Zhendong Zhuo? ”

"Well, it's General Zhuo." Jia Qing replied.

Zhuo Zhendong is famous in the provincial military region, and he is a real iron-blooded general who crawled out of the corpse pile, and he brought his subordinates all over the country back then, with countless powerful fierce people. Huang Yanqiu was shocked and looked at her son fiercely. Liang Min had a hard time, and he wanted to remind his mother of this from the beginning, but where was the right opportunity.

"And who is this?" Huang Yanqiu was embarrassed for a long time, and turned her eyes to Chen Mo, this time she was already cautious. If it weren't for the shock just now, she would probably think that this shabby boy was a rural relative of the Pan family - sitting here was incompatible with the entire mansion, but there was no sense of being cramped and uneasy, and the stupid energy was all written on his face.

"His name is Chen Mo." Just when Zhuo Yitian wanted to speak, Liang Min opened his mouth first.

Jia Qing stood up suddenly, and there was anger in his calm expression.

Huang Yanqiu had heard Chen Mo's name a long time ago, and knew that he was his son's so-called competitor, but when he finally saw the living person at this moment, he immediately sneered in his heart, and he was a little suspicious that the daughter of the Pan family was crazy.

In addition to the washing industry that started at the beginning, the Pan family's business scope now spans real estate, medicine, and electronics. Pan Jinyu is a heroic figure, thoughtful, decisive in killing, and after taking over the power from his brother, he has expanded the scale of his business several times in just ten years. Today's Pan family has opened a branch factory abroad, and the annual tax payment in Yancheng alone exceeds 10 million, and the net worth is difficult to estimate.

Ten years ago, Huang Yanqiu couldn't imagine that she would be condescending to a noble family and take the initiative to get close to a merchant family, but now the situation is obviously different. The career is endless, the business world is endless, and Liang Min's recent twists and turns have made Huang Yanqiu feel that his son's vision is indeed good, and in some ways it coincides with himself. Although it was a bit wasteful in the early years, it is not too late to act now.

Due to the severe snowstorm in the suburbs, a charity dinner hosted by Yancheng City Political Axe is scheduled to be held today. Huang Yanqiu called Jia Qing early, asking Liang Min to go to Pan's house with the car, and come over to meet him again, saying that the children were all old and should take them to see the world.

Huang Yanqiu believed that her son could seize the opportunity, but she didn't expect that Chen Mo, who she often heard, would also appear here. Depending on the situation, he still came with the female hooligans of the Zhuo family.

How did these two get together? Huang Yanqiu was very puzzled, but Jia Qing's performance at this moment made her put her heart back in its place and watch the play slowly.

"Aunt Qing, what are you doing, scare me! Sit down and I'll pinch your shoulder, is the old rheumatism getting better? Zhuo Yitian also stood up.

"Are you Chen Mo?" Jia Qing didn't obey her again this time, but looked at Chen Mo coldly, "What is the relationship between you and Dongdong?" ”

Chen Mo was stunned by this question.

"The boy surnamed Chen, Mr. Pan is looking for you!" At the same time, Zhan Shanhu strode from the other side of the living room and barked unceremoniously.

The study is very large, the tables and chairs are antique, there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a furnace of white sandalwood is lit in the corner of the house. Pan Jinyu was grinding ink at his desk, his delicate appearance made him look more like a teacher than a businessman, and his eyes were as deep as the sea.

Pan Dongdong was also in the house, his eyes were red and swollen, and when he saw Chen Mo come in, tears immediately flowed.

"Sit." Pan Jinyu ignored her daughter and gestured at Chen Mo.

"No, you're an elder, I'll just stand." Chen Mo said.

Pan Jinyu said "um", spread out the rice paper, and glanced at him with a slight strangeness, "At your age, my composure skills are far worse." ”

"Don't steal, don't rob, don't hurt people, and don't be afraid to walk at night." Chen Mo smiled.

The playfulness in Pan Jinyu's eyes deepened, and when the spilled thick ink overflowed and half dried, he raised his hand to hook the line on the rice paper, and said lightly: "Let's get straight to the point!" I think the relationship between you and Dongdong shouldn't be too close, after all, there are differences between men and women. I say that, can you understand? ”

Chen Mo thought for a moment before answering, "Understood." ”

"This kid has been very obedient since he was a child, but this time it's a little different. Since I found out that something was wrong, I wanted Ah Hu to go to you, but I was stopped by Dongdong. She promised me that she would never associate with you again, in exchange for your peace. This was the first time she lied to my face when she was growing up, and she thought that if Ah Hu didn't go to school, I wouldn't be able to see her every move. What I hate the most in my life is that others cheated on me, but this time I was deceived by my own daughter, do you understand my feelings? As soon as the outline of the outline came out, Pan Jinyu began to dye the mountains and rocks with a large wolf pen, and said without raising his head.

"Understood." Chen Mo watched him hold the pen like a knife, every movement was so neat and chic, as if it was heavily painted in front of his eyes.

"For me, it's not difficult to change schools for Dongdong, and there are options outside Yancheng. But I don't want to do that, if there is a mistake, there is a possibility of correcting it, and I don't think it's too late to correct it. Ah Hu said that you have practiced boxing and kicking, but I want you to know that being able to fight does not mean everything, and what you are facing is not as simple as a Ah Hu. There are a lot of people in Yancheng who want to help me do things and do anything they can do, Dongdong can keep you for a while, but not for a lifetime, and the same goes for the seven girls outside. Today is my last chance for you, it is indeed not very glorious to bully the small, but I hope you can understand the helplessness of being a parent. ”

"I understand that, too."

In the study, only the "rustle" sound of the wolf's pen touching the paper remained, and Pan Jinyu stopped speaking and concentrated on painting. Chen Mo stared at his wrist movements, and suddenly realized that this was like he was making a marionette, but at the moment it was a brush performance, and the paper had become a stage.

Am I another puppet too? Chen Mo thought about it and glanced at Pan Dongdong.

The girl's gaze made the corners of his eyes twitch.

The finished ink-splashed landscape painting depicts the mountains and rivers, which is majestic and ancient. After changing the pen, Pan Jinyu wrote the inscription again: If you don't climb the mountain, you don't know the height of the sky; Not near the deep stream, I don't know the thickness of the ground.

Chen Mo knew that this was written for himself - I don't know how thick the sky is.

"If you understand, you can get out!" Pan Jinyu wiped her hands with wet wipes and looked indifferent.

Chen Mo didn't move, thought for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Mr. Pan, my family lives in a coal mine. When I was a child, I loved to dig birds' eggs, and I climbed almost all the trees in the mine, but there was only one big locust tree that I couldn't climb because it was too thick and tall. ”

Pan Jinyu was stunned, and didn't know what his intention was when he talked about the past at this time.

"I never thought I'd be able to climb that tree. Until one day, the children in the mine made a bet with me that if I could go up and get the eggs, I would lose two pickle buns.

I have a younger sister who was only three years old at the time, and the family conditions were not good, she always had not enough to eat, and she would cry when she was hungry. I really wanted those two buns, so I took off my shoes and climbed hard. I was never afraid to climb a tree, but I was shaking all the time, and I didn't dare to look down halfway through, for fear that if I fell down, I wouldn't have the strength to climb a second time.

Then I climbed to the top of the tree, where there were several nests, but I was dumbfounded before I could pick out the eggs. I saw the whole coal mine at my feet, I saw the mountains and rivers in the distance, and I saw the rice fields all the way to the other side of the sky. To this day, I often think that if I hadn't worked hard that time, I would never have known what it was like to stand that high. ”

Chen Mo looked directly at Pan Jinyu, his eyes had become resolute and hard, "Some people are born to stand taller than others and climb faster, I have nothing to rely on, only a pair of hands and a life that does not believe in evil." I like your daughter, and I can support her now, and as long as she is willing to be with me, one day I will lead her to the highest place and see all the scenery I can see. I have lived in this ** world for eighteen years, except for my parents and little sister, she is the best person for me, and the person I remember the most. Now I say this, not to ask you if you agree, I only care if she wants to. ”

"I do!" Pan Dongdong had already cried into tears, completely ignoring his father Tie Qing's face, "Chen Mo, I like you so much, I like you so much......"

"Do you know what you should and shouldn't do at your age?" Pan Jinyu asked coldly.

"From childhood to adulthood, I had to get high marks in every subject, practice oral English, take etiquette classes and learn ballet, everything and every path were arranged by you and my mother. Even every one of my friends, you've seen it. Pan Dongdong's voice was dry, and his lips had already been bitten, "Do you know that this home is really like a cage?" Do you know that maybe I feel that sometimes it's not so perfect, it's not so polite, but it's also a kind of happiness? ”

"So that means you can fall in love? Do you know what it means to like? Pan Jinyu said sharply.

"All I know is that I wouldn't have heard him if I hadn't been forced by you. Because he has always been stupid, like a wooden man. Pan Dongdong suddenly smiled, "Dad, now I know that I like him, and he really likes me, and I'm not afraid of anything." Even if you find someone to beat him to a cripple, I will follow him for the rest of my life, I will cook for him when he is hungry, I will dress him when he is cold, and I will die with him when he dies. You said that girls should be clean and self-loving, and they can only be intimate with their husbands in this life. Chen Mo has already seen my whole body, if you don't think it's enough......"

Under Pan Jinyu's shocked and angry gaze, Pan Dongdong ran to Chen Mo, threw himself into his arms, stood on tiptoe slightly, and kissed him without hesitation.

At this moment, Chen Mo tasted the saltiness of blood and the astringency of tears, and at the same time was covered by the fragrant and soft lips, like a dream.
