I followed her bravely, walking slowly, as if I was afraid of stepping on a landmine.
Arriving at the door, Zhou Mo rang the doorbell, and a woman's voice soon came from inside: "Here you come."
My heart was in my throat for a moment, because this was my first time pretending to be someone else's boyfriend.
The door opened with a click, and I saw a very elegant middle-aged woman standing at the door.
"Momo, you're back!" The middle-aged woman in front of her suddenly showed an expression of joy when she saw Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo smiled slightly and said, "Mom."
It turns out that this is Zhou Mo's mother, no wonder she is so elegant.
Then Zhou Mo's mother looked at me again and asked Zhou Mo: "Who is this?"
"Mom, let me introduce to you, this is my boyfriend Chen Feng." Zhou Mo said generously. She has great acting skills.
After Zhou Mo finished speaking, I still didn't react, so I was stunned for a moment before I quickly called out: "Hello, Auntie."
Zhou Mo's mother was also stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she nodded with a smile: "Okay, that's great, come in quickly. If your uncle knows that you brought your boyfriend back, she will be very happy."
She followed Zhou Mo into the house. She also cleaned the house very cleanly. It could be said that it was spotless and all the items were placed very neatly.
The layout of the room is also very regular, the furniture is all made of mahogany, and the overall decoration is in Chinese style.
A man sitting on the sofa in the living room was Zhou Mo's uncle. He was watching TV news. When he saw Zhou Mo coming back, he looked towards the door.
Zhou Mo's mother immediately said to Zhou Mo's uncle who was standing in front of the sofa: "Old Li, Momo brought her boyfriend back."
The man nodded, and I turned to look at him. He looked gentle and graceful. What impressed me most were his eyes.
Not only are they bright and bright, but their eyes are wise, profound and can penetrate people's hearts.
I even had a feeling that he saw through me at just one glance that I was a fake.
After Zhou Mo's mother invited us to sit on the sofa, she went to the kitchen to get busy.
Zhou Mo took me to the sofa and said to her uncle: "Uncle, this is Chen Feng, I told you."
Her uncle looked at me with his wise eyes, a friendly smile on his face, and nodded slowly, as if he was sure.
At that moment, I felt relieved, at least being affirmed by his uncle.
After introducing me to her uncle, Zhou Mo said to me: "Chen Feng, you and my uncle will chat for a while, and I will go to the kitchen to help my mother cook."
I nodded mechanically and sat on the sofa, some distance away from Zhou Mo's uncle.
Zhou Mo said that I knew who her uncle was when I met him, but now that I have seen him, I don’t recognize him. It’s just that he gives me the feeling that I have seen him somewhere before.
I didn't know what to say because Zhou Mo asked me to speak as little as possible. Even if she didn't remind me, I wouldn't know what to say when faced with his uncle's powerful aura.
He spoke first, took out a box of Chinese cigarettes from under the coffee table, stretched it out to me and asked, "Do you want to smoke?"
I was stunned and quickly waved my hand and said: "Thank you, uncle, I don't smoke."
He smiled and lit a cigarette, and then asked me leisurely: "Momo is a very willful child. Isn't it easy to be her boyfriend?"
"Haha, it's okay." I smiled stiffly, fearing that he would discover the flaw, so I didn't dare to look directly into his eyes.
"How long have you and Momo known each other?" he asked me again.
Zhou Mo discussed these issues with me in the afternoon, so I said without hesitation: "We met not long ago because of a misunderstanding. It seems we are destined."
"How old are you this year?" he asked again.
"31."
He nodded thoughtfully and asked again: "I heard from Momo that you work at Yuanfeng Group, right?"
"Yeah." I still nodded passively.
"A big event happened in Yuanfeng Group a while ago. Were you in the company at that time?"
"Uncle, I wasn't there at the time."
He nodded again, took a puff of cigarette slowly, and said slowly: "Momo has told me some things about you, saying that you are a very responsible person. Now what happened to Yuanfeng Group
It's truly remarkable that you still took up the post despite such a serious accident."
I smiled and said: "Uncle, Zhou Mo is exaggerating a bit. I just did what I should do."
"Where is your hometown?" He then changed the subject and asked.
“My hometown”
As soon as I opened my mouth, Zhou Mo's mother came over and said to Uncle Zhou Mo: "This is the first time this child comes to our house. Don't scare him by asking so many questions when he comes."
After saying that, she smiled kindly and said to me: "Xiao Chen, it's time to wash your hands and eat."
"Well, okay, Auntie."
I took a deep breath and sat down at the dining table. Looking at such a sumptuous dinner, I had a hard time taking my chopsticks because I was so nervous.
Zhou Mo took advantage of her uncle to serve the rice and quietly said to me: "Don't be too nervous. Just relax."
I nodded, and she asked softly: "My uncle didn't ask anything just now, did he?"
"No, I just asked about some family matters."
"Well, don't talk too much. I'll talk to him later."
After everyone sat down one after another, Zhou Momo's mother said to me very enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, Xiao Chen, eat more of this. This is Momo's favorite food and this one."
After a while, I put a lot of vegetables in the bowl.
The first time I came to Zhou Mo's house, I felt very good. They were very enthusiastic.
The only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is nervousness, because I am a fake and I am always afraid of being found out.
Fortunately, at the dinner table, they didn't ask me any questions that I couldn't answer. They only asked about small things about my family, such as my family members, my parents, etc.
After dinner, we sat together and chatted for a while, but we didn't talk about rescuing An Lan, and I was too embarrassed to mention it.
It wasn't until Zhou Mo's mother finished washing the dishes and went to tidy up the room for us that I realized that we would most likely be staying here overnight.
While Uncle Zhou Mo was going to the bathroom, I called Zhou Mo to the balcony and said to her, "What should I do? Your mother is probably going to keep us here overnight, so we have to find a reason to leave!"
Zhou Mo was silent for a while and said to me: "How about I find a reason for you to leave first, and then I stay and talk to my uncle alone."
"is this okay?"
"Okay, my uncle should believe that you are my boyfriend now, and she will not ignore my affairs."
I took a long breath, looked at the silent night outside the balcony, pondered for a moment and said, "If you really want your uncle to believe that we are boyfriend and girlfriend, and you want me to see it, we will stay tonight."
"Of course this is better, but are you sure?"
I nodded and said, "If there's anything you're not sure about, as long as there's a chance to rescue An Lan, I can do anything you want."
"Do you love her that much?" Zhou Mo looked at me curiously.
I smiled and said, "Love, I can't tell you. Anyway, I have a special feeling for her. I must save her."
Zhou Mo didn't say anything more. She nodded and replied, "Okay, then I'll stay here tonight and I'll find time to talk to my uncle."
"Thank you very much."
After returning to the room, Zhou Mo's mother had already helped us clean up the house, and her uncle also came out of the bathroom.
"Momo, come to my study. I have something to tell you." Her uncle called her.
Zhou Mo glanced at it, then said something to her uncle, then glanced at me and walked towards her uncle's study.
I was quite nervous, wondering if her uncle had discovered that I was a fake, because the look in his eyes just now was a bit strange.
