She needs help from others, so she must treat us to this meal.
Another heavy bleeding.
Zhou Mo opened his WeChat wallet and looked at the two thousand yuan balance with tears in his eyes. The money he had just earned from selling goods this month was gone in the blink of an eye.
***
Saturday afternoon.
Zhou Mo tidied herself up simply. Before going out, she applied essential oil to her long hair and combed it in front of the mirror. Her long hair instantly became flowing and natural.
She had always had long hair, having done so since she was a child. Even in high school, she didn't give up growing her hair long, even though washing and caring for it took a lot of time.
Now, Zhou Mo takes even more care of his hair.
Zhou Mo can go without facial oil, sunscreen, or any other skin care products, but she can’t do without any of the necessary hair care products.
Also because of his hair, Zhou Mo was under a lot of financial pressure.
He casually took out a hexagonal plane mirror from his single canvas bag, put it on, looked in the mirror, and then Zhou Mo went out with satisfaction.
Zhou Mo chose to wear glasses just to make herself look less stupid, even though she looked foolish after being tricked by Yu Yizhou.
As soon as she went out, Fang Shuo sent her a message telling her the box number.
Zhou Mo felt a little embarrassed. It was she who needed help, so it was her responsibility to book a private room and invite the other party.
Just as she was about to apologize, Fang Shuo, as if possessing a cunning mind, could read Zhou Mo's thoughts even through the phone. He sent another message: "Miss Zhou, there's no need to be so reserved. You were introduced by Professor Shen, so we should be the host."
Zhou Mo sighed, he was indeed someone who worked for the big boss.
She believed that she could not be as observant and at ease as Fang Shuo.
After arriving at "Zhulu Zhongyuan" according to the address, the waiter opened the door of the private room for Zhou Mo.
There was only a thin and handsome guy wearing glasses in the room.
Seeing Zhou Mo coming, he immediately stood up and greeted her, "You must be Miss Zhou, I'm Fang Shuo."
"Hello, Mr. Fang." Zhou Mo shook hands with him politely, his eyes drifting towards the room, but there was no sign of another person. Zhou Mo felt anxious, "Where's Lawyer Liang? Didn't he come or..."
Fang Shuo's eyes were obviously evasive, but then he put on a polite smile. "Mr. Liang is busy, so I'll be delayed for a moment. What would Miss Zhou like to eat? Let's order right away."
Obviously, Fang Shuo was trying to attract Zhou Mo's attention.
Zhou Mo felt even more uneasy, unable to understand what this big boss was thinking. He wondered whether he could help or not.
The guest could only follow the host's wishes and nervously prepare to order dishes under Fang Shuo's arrangements.
The menu was thick and large, with colorful patterns on it. The food looked very tempting, but Zhou Mo had no intention of ordering anything.
After thinking it over again and again, without worrying about being polite or respectful, Zhou Mo closed the menu and prepared to find out what was going on.
However, Zhou Mo's movements were careless and the menu card slammed shut with a "snap".
Fang Shuo jumped in surprise, thinking he had upset Zhou Mo, and immediately explained, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, Mr. Liang has some personal matters to attend to today, so he won't be able to come over for a while."
"Oh, so that's how it is," Zhou Mo was not surprised. How could it be so easy to see the real face of such a big boss who was one of the most powerful in Dongjiang?
But, if there is something wrong, just say it is wrong. Why is Fang Shuo so nervous?
Zhou Mo didn't understand.
Fang Shuo was also surprised to see that Zhou Mo showed no emotion at all.
"Miss Zhou, you're not angry?"
Zhou Mo was confused. "Angry? Why should I be angry?"
Fang Shuo scratched his head, feeling a bit bewildered, and stammered, "Actually... Mr. Liang... went to see his girlfriend."
"Then what?" Zhou Mo still felt confused.
Fang Shuo looked at Zhou Mo in disbelief and emphasized again, "Girlfriend! I'm talking about his girlfriend!"
Zhou Mo frowned slightly, "I heard it clearly. But what does his girlfriend have to do with me?"
Fang Shuo was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, looking like he had no idea how to explain.
After a stalemate, the door of the box was opened again.
Zhou Mo turned around and looked towards the door.
The people at the door were one unfamiliar and one familiar. The unfamiliar one was Liang Dongyan, and the familiar one made Zhou Mo's heart skip a beat.
It turned out to be Han Chen...
Seeing this, Fang Shuo quickly stood up and went to greet Liang Dongyan, saying, "Mr. Liang, you're here. Miss Zhou has been waiting for a long time."
Liang Dongyan nodded, waved Fang Shuo to leave, and said to Zhou Mo, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, something delayed me."
Glancing at Han Chen behind him, Liang Dongyan introduced: "This is Han Chen, who is..."
"We know each other." Han Chen suddenly spoke, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo was completely shocked. He felt that Han Chen's eyes were so cold that they could kill people.
Liang Dongyan's eyes wandered back and forth between Han Chen and Zhou Mo. In disbelief, he asked, "Do you really know each other?"
"Yeah." Han Chen responded softly, walked straight to the opposite side of Zhou Mo, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Order some food, I'm hungry."
Liang Dongyan told Fang Shuo to call the waiter over. When he passed by Zhou Mo, he politely said to her, "Miss Zhou, please take a seat."
Zhou Mo nodded slightly, glancing at the two people in front of him with confusion.
What is their relationship? Why did they come here together?
"I forgot to introduce myself. Han Chen and I are cousins." Liang Dongyan took the initiative to explain.
Zhou Mo suddenly realized that she had not realized that Liang Dongyan and Han Chen's mother Liang Xinyun both had the surname "Liang".
"Hello, cousin." Zhou Mo spoke sweetly as usual.
Her idea was simple: now that she needed help from someone, she had to get as close as possible.
However, this unintentional call of "cousin" startled both Liang Dongyan and Han Chen.
Looking at the two people's surprised eyes, Zhou Mo thought to himself, oh no, did he call the wrong person?
She asked nervously, "What's wrong? Could it be that it's not my cousin but my younger cousin?"
Liang Dongyan was amused and winked at Han Chen, saying, "No, I'm older than Han Chen, so I'm not wrong to call him that. It's just that you called me 'cousin'... because of Han Chen's calling me that?"
Zhou Mo: “…”
She hadn't thought of this.
Han Chen suddenly stood up and walked around the table towards Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo looked at him warily, "What are you doing? Didn't I just call you 'cousin'?"
She thought Han Chen was angry because she had "recognized her relatives" without his permission.
Han Chen didn't say anything, but glanced at her deeply, his eyes fixed on her carefully groomed hair. He lowered his gaze and looked carefully at Zhou Mo's body.
Zhou Mo felt his entire body crawling with fear under his gaze. Han Chen's gaze was like that of a police officer checking for drunk driving, stern and majestic. Zhou Mo felt like he was being stared at like a bad guy.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"I put on makeup and perfume." Han Chen said lightly, took the menu from under Zhou Mo's arm without any hesitation, turned around and sat next to Zhou Mo, and opened the menu.
Zhou Mo glared at him out of the corner of his eye and complained in his heart that he was "sick".
Just then, Fang Shuo came in with the waiter.
Han Chen flipped through the menu idly, ordering dishes. "Fuqi Feipian, Mandarin Duck Chicken, Four Happiness Meatballs."
Fang Shuo jokingly asked, "Doctor Han, are you ordering from the wedding banquet menu?"
"No, I just want to eat," Han Chen closed the menu and handed it to Zhou Mo.
