A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
"Ring, ring, ring."
The ringing of the phone interrupted Mrs. Shu and the other woman's expectations. They watched Yan Mo stop what he was doing and put down the teacup, their hearts filled with disappointment.
Yan Mo took out his cell phone, looked at the caller ID, and said to Si Mei with a smile:
"Aunt."
"Yeah." Si Mei waved her hand: "Go!"
"Excuse me, elders. I have to go answer a phone call first." After getting Si Mei's consent, Yan Mo stood up and left the courtyard under Mrs. Shu's unwilling gaze.
After coming out of the house, Yan Mo swiped the screen to answer the ringing phone.
As soon as I answered the phone, I heard Si Ze's very anxious voice.
"Momo, where are you?"
Before she could answer, Si Ze's voice came again:
"Weren't you asking Xin'er about the banquet? Why did you go out? Those people haven't been found yet. It's still not safe outside. Come back quickly."
"No, don't move. I'll come and pick you up." From his voice, it could be heard that Si Ze was obviously panicked. He didn't even put down his briefcase and immediately turned around and left home.
"Si Ze, no need to come. I'm safe. I'm with my aunt now." Yan Mo refused to let Si Ze come to pick her up. He had worked hard all day, and she felt bad and distressed to ask him to pick her up again.
She looked at her watch. It was almost half past nine. She guessed that after Ning Xin finished chatting, they should be going back soon!
"Where is it?" Si Ze ignored Yan Mo's words and asked for the address again.
"No need, I should be back soon."
"Where?" It was the same question.
“…”
Yan Mo understood Si Ze and knew he couldn't get away with it, so he reluctantly told her where she was.
After getting the address, Si Ze quickly hung up the phone.
After thinking about it, Yan Mo sent a message to Ning Xin, asking about the situation over there.
Soon, I got a reply saying that I was coming to see them.
Then, Yan Mo returned to the teahouse. Si Mei was still chatting with Mrs. Shu. She deliberately walked lightly and sat back in her seat quietly.
But she could not escape the attention of the woman who had been paying attention to Yan Mo. As soon as she appeared, the woman gave Madam Shu a wink.
"Miss Momo, you're back." Mrs. Shu said with a smile.
When Si Mei heard Mrs. Shu's voice, she realized that Yan Mo had returned, and she looked up at Yan Mo.
"My boyfriend." Yan Mo raised his phone and explained to Si Mei who was calling.
Si Mei was delighted with the arrival of her nephew, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
I also know that my nephew is worried about his wife. Si Mei knew about the accident that happened to Yan Mo last time.
At that time, after the incident, Si Ze was afraid that those who failed to attack Yan Mo would turn to attack other members of the Si family, so he reminded everyone in the Si family to be careful when going out.
"Then you go back with him later!" Si Mei said.
"Okay." Yan Mo thanked him with a smile and sat down again.
Hearing that Yan Mo was about to leave, Mrs. Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea without leaving any trace.
The woman understood and raised her glass: "Come, Miss Momo, try our newest Longjing tea, made before Qian Mingyu, it's very hard to come by."
The tea artist came to Yan Mo's table and refilled Yan Mo's tea, then took away the completely cold tea that Yan Mo had not yet had time to drink.
"Okay." Others toasted several times, but were interrupted each time. Yan Mo felt a little embarrassed, so she went to save others' face. Without hesitation, she smiled and picked up the cup and took a sip with everyone, then listened quietly to the ladies chatting. Afterwards, Yan Mo accompanied them and drank several glasses in a row.
After the third cup, Yan Mo's cell phone rang again. After checking the caller ID, she looked at Si Mei who was sitting in the VIP seat.
"Go!" Si Mei nodded with a smile.
Yan Mo hesitated and did not leave immediately. She had promised Ning Xin on the phone that she would wait for her when she left. Mrs. Shu was present, so she didn't dare to ask.
"Let's go! It's impolite to keep people waiting. I'll talk to Xin'er on your behalf." Si Mei seemed to know what she was worried about and comforted her.
After hearing what Si Mei said, she couldn't wait any longer, so she responded:
"Okay, thank you, aunt." After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to everyone.
"Miss Momo, do you want me to ask someone to take you there?" Mrs. Shu interrupted with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt Shu. No need to trouble you." Yan Mo waved his hand to refuse and left the courtyard.
Mrs. Shu narrowed her eyes, and the woman immediately found an excuse and followed Yan Mo out of the teahouse.
After Yan Mo came out, he went straight to the gate.
Seeing Yan Mo had already arrived at the garden, the woman who followed him out was puzzled and began to wonder in her heart: "Why hasn't the medicine taken effect yet?"
Just after leaving the courtyard and passing the garden, Yan Mo thought for a moment, stopped, changed direction towards the gate, and walked deeper into the garden. While walking, she sent a message to Si Ze, asking him to wait for her news.
Seeing Yan Mo turn and go deep into the garden, he breathed a sigh of relief and followed Yan Mo not far away.
Yan Mo's full attention was on her phone, so naturally she didn't notice the woman following her.
After roughly determining Ning Xin's direction, he went deeper and found Ning Xin and the Third Young Master Shu sitting opposite each other in a bamboo forest.
She didn't want to meet that dissolute Young Master Shu, so she chose not to say anything or shout. She just took out her cell phone and typed a text message to Ning Xin, which roughly told her where she was and that Si Ze was waiting for them outside. After finishing, she just clicked send.
In the four-cornered courtyard.
Ning Xin was staring at the Third Young Master Shu. She had wanted to leave a long time ago, but the man opposite her wouldn't let her go. Every time she moved, he moved too.
As a woman, Ning Xin could clearly feel that this Third Young Master of the Shu family clearly did not like her.
But he stopped her, wouldn't let her go, and trapped her here.
The man was also very annoyed. While he was on guard against Ning Xin escaping, he kept paying attention to his phone from time to time.
He had been waiting for a signal from his mother. As long as she succeeded, he would let Ning Xin go.
However, after waiting for so long, there was still no news. He replied to the message, but was told to wait a little longer.
Another half a quarter of an hour passed.
Ning Xin also saw Yan Mo's text message, and she was extremely anxious and shouted:
"Let me go."
"Don't worry, I'll let you go." Young Master Shu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, put it in the corner of his mouth, and said impatiently.
"I'm leaving now."
"no."
"you…"
Ning Xin was angry and walked towards the exit regardless of anything.
"Damn it." Young Master Shu immediately stood up, threw away the cigarette butt, crushed it hard, and strode towards Ning Xin.
Without caring too much, looking at the posture of the man opposite, Ning Xin felt that if she retreated, she might be beaten. She could only quicken her pace and run in the direction of Yan Mo's message.
He kept looking at the person behind him while running. Unexpectedly, the Third Young Master Shu chased him for a while, then received a phone call and stopped chasing him and left immediately.
This surprised her, but she didn't think much about it and immediately came to the place where she had agreed to meet Yan Mo. There was no one in sight except for a field of extremely spectacular pale yellow wax flowers.
