Mr. Chen is notoriously stubborn and willful.

No one can change the decision he made.

Chen's father and mother had no choice but to stop arguing with him.

Mother Chen sighed and took her daughter back to the room to let her calm down.

Chen Keke sat on the edge of the bed, feeling aggrieved for a long time before she calmed down.

Mother Chen handed her a glass of water and advised, "Keke, it's not that I don't support your decision. I just want to advise you not to be so stubborn about the child from the Shen family. Although both of your children are fine, your grandfather has always been at odds with the Shen family. If you insist on liking that child, I'm afraid this family will not be at peace in the future. Besides, you don't know Shen Zheyu's feelings. If he doesn't like you, aren't you wasting your youth?"

Listen to mom, stop liking him, and I will find you a good family again."

Chen Keke lowered her head and choked up, "I understand, Mom. I won't think about Brother Shen anymore. You don't have to find a good family for me. I don't want to get married in this life.

Mom, please go out. I want to be alone."

Mother Chen had no choice but to sigh and leave first.

After dinner, the Shen family originally wanted to take Shen Jiaojiao to the hospital.

But Shen Jiaojiao was really tired and wanted to rest, so she decided to go to the hospital tomorrow.

She took Xu Mo to her room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the room was full of rag dolls, with no place to step.

Shen Jiaojiao is helpless!

He really treats her as a child.

Although I loved dolls when I was a child, I became immune to them as I grew up.

Xu Mo looked at the pink color all over the room in horror, and goose bumps began to appear all over his body.

"Wife, do you like this?"

Shen Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly, "I liked it when I was a kid, Xu Mo, put all these dolls in that corner, otherwise we won't be able to sleep tonight."

Xu Mo obediently started picking up rag dolls everywhere.

By the way, he looked around his wife's room curiously.

It can be seen that the Shen family really likes the only girl in the family.

Give her the best things.

The more Xu Mo thought about it, the more he felt that he had treated his wife badly.

It's really a big loss for my daughter-in-law to marry him.

I really need to make money quickly!

Try to buy a house here as soon as possible.

After he had put away all the dolls, he turned around and found that the little guy had fallen asleep on the bed.

Xu Mo went over and covered Shen Jiaojiao with the quilt, then tiptoed out of the room.

They now live in a two-story building with a large garden in the front and back.

The houses in this compound are all of the same style. I guess the people who can live in them are not ordinary people.

Xu Mo walked around the area and then left the military compound.

He has an excellent sense of direction. Once he has been to a place, he will remember the way.

So he didn't worry about getting lost.

I strolled outside for about an hour and got a general understanding of the situation nearby.

The military compound is located in the city center, surrounded by a prosperous area with state-owned hotels and department stores everywhere.

And in those alleys, there are courtyard houses.

Xu Mo had nothing to do so he went to inquire about the situation of the courtyard.

Nowadays, a two-entry courtyard house costs about 15,000 yuan.

But no one dares to sell it openly now.

They are all sold privately, so it all depends on personal luck.

After all, there are not many people selling courtyard houses.

Xu Mo was about to go back after strolling.

Suddenly I noticed something was wrong.

I felt the sky darken, it darkened instantly.

There seemed to be thick fog all around, and it was gray.

The people who were originally coming and going around also disappeared.

This sudden change caught him off guard.

He felt a little cold in his heart, quickened his pace and continued walking back.

Then he stopped suddenly.

At this moment, not far ahead, there was a ragged old man lying.

The old man had white hair and a thin face.

The old man saw Xu Mo and said in a hoarse voice, "Young man, I sprained my foot. Can you carry me home?"

Xu Mo glanced at the strange environment, and hesitantly asked, "Where is your home?"

The old man pointed in a random direction.

"Over there, carry me on your back and I'll show you the way."

Xu Mo pondered for a while, then carried the old man on his back and walked in the direction he said.

The fog around us seemed to be getting thicker.

Xu Mo walked on the deserted street, carrying a strange old man on his back.

The old man laughed and said, "Young man, you are so kind-hearted. The three people who passed by before were unwilling to pay attention to an old man like me, but you are willing to carry me on your back. What a good person you are!"

Xu Mo didn't say anything and just wanted to send him home as soon as possible.

"Where is your home?"

The old man quickly pointed in a direction, "Go to that alley over there."

Xu Mo entered the alley.

"Go further up that alley."

Xu Mo entered the alley.

"Turn left again and go to another alley."

Okay, Xu Mo walked to another alley.

"Turn right again and go to another alley."

Very good, Xu Mo walked to another alley.

In this way, Xu Mo carried the old man on his back and walked back and forth for nearly an hour.

"Young man, go further..."

"Shut up."

Xu Mo put the old man directly back to the ground.

His brows were full of hostility.

"Look, I've already turned around three times. Where are you going? Forget it, just go and have fun by yourself!" Xu Mo was too lazy to pay attention to him and was about to leave.

He was sure that the old guy was playing a trick on him.

The old man quickly got up from the ground and laughed, "Don't be angry, young man! Look, my home is here."

The old man pointed to a room at the entrance of the alley.

Exactly where they were at the beginning.

Xu Mo let out a deep breath.

If the other person wasn't an old man, I would have beaten him up long ago.

He glanced dangerously at the old man's lively feet and said grimly, "Didn't you sprain your foot?"

The old man smiled awkwardly, "I just sprained it, but it's healed now."

Xu Mo also admired his own patience. He sighed again and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Hey, young man, you are a very kind person. To thank you, I will give you something!"

As he said that, he stuffed something into Xu Mo's hand.

Xu Mo looked down and saw... a string of stones!

He really wanted to scold the old man for being dishonest, but when he looked up, he was gone.

Xu Mo was depressed. He threw the stone on the ground and walked away.

After just two steps, I felt weight on my wrists.

At the sight, Xu Mo's heart stopped beating with fright.

The string of stones was actually worn on his wrist.
