Seeing the sad expression that suddenly appeared on her face, I asked with great confusion: "Isn't your home in Beijing? Wouldn't it be good to go home?"
She picked up the coffee in front of her, took a sip, and then said: "I insisted on coming here because I wanted to make some achievements, but now that the situation is like this, I don't have the shame to face my elders when I go back.
and the teachers.”
It turned out that she was sad because of this matter. I smiled bitterly and said: "That's not the case. You are still young and have many opportunities. And you did not do anything wrong this time. The situation in our company before should have been disqualified. It was me.
It’s only by stalking you that we can retain our bid.”
She shook her head and said, "I'm not just sad because of this incident. In fact, he came to me again yesterday and wanted to get back together with me."
"Who? Just your good-for-nothing ex-boyfriend?"
Seeing that she looked a little unhappy, I quickly changed my words and said, "I'm sorry, just think I farted."
She smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay, you are right, he is just a second-rate guy, and he is not worthy of me liking him for so long."
"You didn't promise him, did you?"
"Of course not, I won't be fooled by him again."
"That's right, the division should be done thoroughly."
She handed me the white paper bag again and said, "So, I'll give this to you! I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow."
I hesitated for a while, and finally accepted it and said to her: "As a courtesy, what should I give you?"
"No need." She said with a smile.
"Then I will go to the airport to see you off tomorrow."
She hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "That's okay."
The dishes we ordered finally arrived. I had already eaten the spaghetti. I really couldn't eat it, but I had already ordered it and couldn't waste it.
While eating, we chatted about some things, but I didn't forget that she wanted to tell me about An Lan.
I was afraid that she would forget, so I reminded her: "By the way, didn't you want to tell me about An Lan?"
She suddenly stopped, looked up at me and asked, "You really want to save her, don't you?"
"I really want to. The biggest reason why I came back to take over this business this time is to save her." I said very sincerely.
After saying that, I added: "If you really have a way to help me rescue her, I will be willing to work as a cow or a horse for you if you want me to."
She smiled and said: "It's not that serious, and I'm not sure I can help you."
I looked at her confused and waited for her to say the next thing.
She was silent for a while, and then continued: "I heard you and me talk about you and her a few days ago. I was very touched, so I went to find out more about this case, which is quite complicated."
"It's quite complicated. We don't have a clue right now. The court date is coming soon. I'm so anxious!"
She was silent for a while and said to me: "I asked my uncle this morning and she said that this matter is actually not that complicated, but I don't know if my uncle is willing to help."
As soon as I heard this, I seemed to see a ray of light. I put down the tableware in my hand and said to her: "Zhou Mo, if your uncle is really capable of saving her, please help me, okay?"
"Don't worry, I briefly talked to my uncle about this, but he doesn't know about your relationship with me. If you want to give it a try, I have a suggestion."
"What? You said." I said excitedly.
"You can pretend to be my boyfriend, and my uncle will agree to help."
"Ah! This"
Zhou Mo sighed softly and said, "I know this is a bit difficult for you, but that's the only way my uncle will help you. I'm just pretending."
"Don't your uncle know the relationship between the person you want to save and me?"
Zhou Mo shook his head and said: "He doesn't know, I just told him that he is your boss."
I took a deep breath and started to get confused.
In the midst of the dilemma, Zhou Mo said to me again: "I know this matter is quite difficult. You should think about it carefully, but don't think about it for too long, because I will return to Beijing tomorrow."
I didn't think about it any more. I said that as long as I could save An Lan, I would do anything.
I immediately said to Zhou Mo: "I don't want to anymore, come on just like you said."
"Well, then you come with me to my uncle's house tonight, and remember not to show off."
"But I can't act! What if I fail?" I suddenly worried.
"Don't worry. When the time comes, try to speak as little as possible and look at my eyes. My uncle is not a monster and won't eat people."
"Well, if it's really possible, Zhou Mo, I owe you a favor. If you need me in the future, you can always ask."
"It doesn't matter. I'm helping you because I think you are a very good person who will risk your life for love."
A smile emerged from deep inside Zhou Mo's face. That kind of smile was pure and contagious.
To be honest, she is actually a very good-looking girl with a straightforward, enthusiastic and cute personality.
What's even more valuable is that she is straightforward and generous on the outside, but also very simple on the inside. You don't need to use complicated thoughts when dealing with her.
I said to her: "Zhou Mo, from the time we met until now, we have misunderstood and despised each other, but in the end I think you are really a good person. Let's make friends!"
Zhou Mo said with a smile: "Aren't we friends a long time ago?"
We looked at each other and smiled. This meal didn't take long, but the guests and hosts had a great time, and a stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
I didn't go back to the company in the afternoon because I had to prepare to meet Zhou Mo's uncle in the evening.
We went to the mall to buy some gifts together, nothing too expensive, just ordinary small gifts.
Only then did Zhou Mo tell me that his uncle was actually her stepfather. Her father died early and her mother remarried.
She never called her stepfather dad, she always called her uncle.
But at that time, I didn't know that her relationship with her uncle was not very good, or even not very close, but in order to help me, she still put everything aside and went to beg her stepfather.
I only learned about these later.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, I got into Zhou Mo's car and headed for the suburbs.
The car passed through bustling places and gradually drove towards quiet suburbs, until finally it entered a heavily guarded courtyard.
The environment in the courtyard is very good, remote and quiet, which is in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city we just passed.
This yard is a bit like a family area. It is very clean inside, the greening is very good, and you can see guard booths everywhere.
After passing through the small buildings, Zhou Mo parked the car at the door of the yard of a two-story small bungalow and said to me.
I looked at the small building in front of me. Although it was not as spacious and luxurious as those single-family villas, it was very impressive.
"This is your home?" I asked curiously.
"My uncle's house." She corrected.
I knew she didn't want to admit that this was her home, so I didn't say anything more.
"What does your uncle do?" Seeing this posture, of course I became a little curious.
"Well" Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "You should know when you go to see me later."
"What?" I was very confused. Why did you know it when you saw it?
"Don't ask so many questions, and remember to talk less." She reminded me and got out of the car.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow her out of the car, pick up the gifts we bought at the mall before, and walk into the courtyard.
