"Mom, please stop trying to match people up with each other. Han Chen might already be married... or have a girlfriend."
"No, I already asked about it when I was chatting with your Aunt Liang the other day."
"..." Zhou Mo suddenly felt betrayed. She asked, "You didn't tell Aunt Liang about me, did you?"
Liu Xiangru suddenly froze, coughed lightly, turned away and whispered, "We... are just old friends meeting and chatting for a while."
Zhou Mo was completely speechless.
Judging from Liu Xiangru's appearance, she has probably already revealed her current situation to Han Chen's mother. The next step... is to match her with Han Chen.
"Mom, Yu Yizhou's matter hasn't been resolved yet. Not to mention that I don't have the heart to worry about it, our family is in such a precarious situation, so please don't worry about my lifelong affairs."
Liu Xiangru wanted to say something, but seeing Zhou Mo's gloomy face, she was suddenly speechless. After all, it was she who introduced Yu Yizhou to Zhou Mo, but it ended up making life difficult for the whole family.
"Momo, I'm sorry, I won't interfere in your affairs anymore." Liu Xiangru felt only guilt in her heart.
Zhou Mo noticed her mother's self-blame, but she couldn't bear to blame her. She comforted her, "Okay, Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm such an outstanding daughter, how can I worry about not being able to get married? I'm a doctor now."
"It's the PhD that's so worrying. It'll take another three or four years to graduate, and you'll be in your thirties by then."
Zhou Mo held his forehead with his hand. "When I said I wanted to get a doctorate, weren't you and my dad very supportive?"
Liu Xiangru said: "Of course it is important to get a good education, but a girl's youth is only a few years long, so it is also important to discuss marriage."
Zhou Mo said: "Mom, let's not be too greedy. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Just get one."
Liu Xiangru looked at Zhou Mo and sighed helplessly. Now that things have come to this, let's take it one step at a time.
Letting Zhou Mo pull her upstairs, Liu Xiangru grumbled, "I shouldn't have listened to your teacher about whether it was premature love or not."
Zhou Mo curled the corners of his lips speechlessly.
But she recalled that when she was in love with Han Chen, she was reported by her classmates, caught by the teacher, and taken to the office for a lecture.
The teacher kept chattering, and she and Han Chen didn't say a word.
Zhou Mo had a clear conscience at that time. After all, she was doing it for revenge. She turned a deaf ear to the teacher's advice such as "be responsible for your own life" and "don't let it affect your studies".
Her life was lived by herself, not taught by a few words from a teacher.
Her purpose was simple. Han Chen caused her to fall off the list, so she wanted to pull Han Chen down.
Zhou Mo was born with a rebellious nature, but he would not show it and only swore silently in his heart.
No matter what the teacher said, she remained indifferent, except for the last part of "calling parents", when Zhou Mo panicked for a moment.
At that time, Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng were extremely strict with her. If they knew about this, the family would be in an uproar.
Han Chen, who was usually silent, suddenly spoke up, "Can you just call my mom over?"
The teacher was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, slamming the table. "Isn't love something you two should talk about? Huh? How can one slap make a sound?"
Han Chen was also very calm and said, "I pursued her, but she didn't agree. It's none of her business."
Zhou Mo stared at Han Chen in a daze, watching him talk nonsense seriously.
It was obviously she who pursued him first.
The teacher has experience. Often at times like this, when two people are deeply in love, they start lying for each other, taking the responsibility on themselves, and confronting adults, thinking that this is "love." However, in the eyes of adults, this is nothing more than a ridiculous trick.
"Zhou Mo, you say." The teacher had an expression of anticipation, waiting for Zhou Mo to speak fearlessly in defense of Han Chen.
Who knew...
Zhou Mo said timidly: "We are not in a relationship. Didn't Han Chen say that? He pursued me, but I didn't agree."
The teacher's face turned dark, and for a moment he couldn't tell which was true and which was false.
After all, the two people in front of him are "good kids" in the teacher's mind.
But the "spies" planted by the teacher in the class never report false information, and the teacher was in a dilemma for a moment.
"Whether we talk or not, call the parents over!"
Afterwards, the teacher notified Liu Xiangru and Han Chen’s mothers respectively.
When Liu Xiangru learned that Zhou Mo was in a relationship, she was so angry that she ignored Zhou Mo for three days. When she returned home that day, she wanted to find Han Chen's mother across the street to argue with her, but was eventually stopped by Zhou Zheng.
The reason is simple. If Zhou Mo doesn't admit it, it would be useless to go.
The child said that they didn’t talk about it, but the parents came to make a fuss. If that’s not unreasonable, what is it?
In addition, Han Chen got first place again and Zhou Mo also made it into the top ten, so the matter was left unresolved.
Zhou Mo privately apologized to Han Chen for "abandoning" him and putting all the blame on him.
Han Chen didn't blame him, but just said coldly: "You really can only share the good times but not the bad times."
Zhou Mo also had his own reasons, "If I had really admitted the situation back then, would we still be here today?"
Han Chen's cold eyes swept across Zhou Mo's smug face and said, "Zhou Mo, we don't seem to be in love at all. It's just... you are dragging me into doing something bad."
Zhou Mo's thoughts were exposed right away, and the rebellious and triumphant joy in her heart was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water by Han Chen. The flame of pride was instantly extinguished, and she lost all interest.
Han Chen was right. Zhou Mo enjoyed this relationship not because she liked Han Chen so much, but because she finally had her own secret, which she could use to fight against her teachers and parents and fill the rebellious factor that was clamoring in her heart.
It was boring to have one's thoughts exposed, so Zhou Mo said indifferently, "Whatever you think."
As long as Han Chen doesn't say it's over, this game of mediation with the adults can still be played.
…
Zhou Mo and Liu Xiangru returned home.
Zhou Zhengzheng was lying on a rattan chair on the balcony basking in the sun.
See the mother and daughter come back.
Zhou Zheng immediately threw off his blanket and stood up, pulling Zhou Mo aside and asking, "Has the Yu guy contacted you again? Has he bothered you again?"
Zhou Mo helped his father back to his chair. "Dad, don't worry. He can't get out of bed these days, so he won't do anything to me."
"What about the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the police station?"
"I've reported it to the police and submitted evidence. As you know, there are procedures for handling cases, and it takes time. How can we get results so quickly?"
"Ah!" Zhou Zheng sighed. As someone who once worked within the system, he knew that stuff all too well. This matter really couldn't be resolved in a few days. "Unfortunately, I don't know anyone at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. If I could find someone I know and talk to them through it, this could be handled faster."
Zhou Mo couldn't bear to let Zhou Zheng, who was in poor health, worry about her affairs anymore. Seeing a few more white hairs on Zhou Zheng's temples, Zhou Mo felt even more uncomfortable.
"It will pass. We have all the evidence. Solving this matter is only a matter of time. Besides, we have to believe in justice, right?"
Zhou Zheng nodded. "I hope the results can be out before Mr. Yu's leg heals. Otherwise... I'm afraid he'll harass you again if you're a girl out there."
Liu Xiangru had the same concerns. "Yeah, Momo, why don't you pack up and come back to live here?"
