Chapter 1299 The gears of fate begin to turn



It was the first time that Zhou Shixun had dinner and drinks with Momo. The two went to a small restaurant near the school and ordered a plate of Kung Pao Chicken, a portion of peanuts, and a bottle of Erguotou.

Mo Mo poured a cup for Zhou Shixun and then poured another for himself: "Dad, is it because of An An? An An hasn't called me for a long time. He must have gone on a mission. Although I don't know what the mission is, it must be dangerous, right?"

Zhou Shixun took a sip of wine and said, "Yes, it's An An's choice. I will respect her. She is an excellent fighter and I am proud of her."

Momo laughed: "I used to think that An An was so spoiled when she was little, she would definitely not choose the same path as her parents when she grows up. I didn't expect that things engraved in her bones can never be changed. Compared to her, I am much more timid."

Zhou Shixun nodded: "Yes, none of us are as determined as An An."

Mo Mo looked at his father with a gloomy expression and drank two glasses of wine: "Dad, are you worried about something?"

Zhou Shixun was silent for a while: "Momo, are your abilities still there?"

Mo Mo was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I just can't remember to use it, and I haven't used it. But if An An and Zhou Zhou have any problems, I can feel it."

Zhou Shixun frowned slightly: "What about your mother? If something happened to your mother, could you foresee it?"

Momo looked at Zhou Shixun in surprise: "Dad, isn't my mom fine? Besides, I can't predict what will happen to my mom."

Zhou Shixun looked around and saw that there were not many people around. He whispered, "Over the years, there is something that I have been unable to let go of. When I lived in the provincial capital, a fortune teller said something that I have never been able to let go of. For many years, I tried to forget it. But recently, I don't know why, the fortune teller's words appeared in my mind again, especially clearly. I could have treated anyone else rationally, but if that person was your mother, I couldn't be rational."

Mo Mo's expression also became a little serious: "Dad, my mom is fine now, she should be fine."

He could see some invisible things and sense some things that might happen, but he could not sense anything about his mother.

Zhou Shixun drank the last glass of wine and said, "Okay, maybe I've been under a lot of pressure recently. Your mother's laboratory has been doing very well recently, and everything is moving in a good direction."

Mo Mo looked at his father's appearance and after a long while he managed to say, "Dad, are you entering menopause?"

Zhou Shixun was stunned for a moment, glared at Mo Mo, and left angrily.

He doesn't like people reminding him of his age. He doesn't know if it's because time has been particularly kind to him, but Sheng An Ning still maintains the slender figure of a young person. His skin is still white and smooth, with a few tiny wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, adding to his charm left by the years.

When he and Sheng An Ning were on the train to Magic City, some people even questioned whether they were father and daughter!

Mo Mo watched his father leave angrily, feeling somewhat puzzled as to whether his father was really giving a kind reminder.

Zhou Shixun took a walk and went home, and also bought some strawberry cookies that Sheng Anning liked.

Sheng Anning was at home, chatting with Wang Da, mainly trying to get Wang Da to cooperate. Over the years, Wang Da's steamed bun shop has become quite large, not only with a factory, but also with dozens of chain stores.

Wang Da heard that Sheng Anning was setting up a laboratory and also wanted to invest in it.

Sheng Anning called her to explain her intentions, and Wang Da agreed immediately and came back early to discuss with Sheng Anning. She felt that Sheng Anning had a very good vision. At the beginning, the whole family opposed her opening a bun shop, and only Sheng Anning supported it.

Later, it was Sheng Anning who supported her in opening a chain store and suggested that she open a food factory.

Therefore, she felt that it would be a good idea to follow Sheng An Ning in investing.

Sheng Anning first explained the interests to Wang Da, and that the laboratory was a long-term investment, and that the money might not be visible in the near future. The most important thing was that their laboratory was not for profit, but to enable more people to afford medical treatment and medicine. Therefore, even if they made money in the future, the profit would not be exaggerated.

Wang Da slapped his thigh and laughed: "That's great, isn't it? Then your uncle will praise me for my high level of awareness, so that he won't say that I am a money-obsessed businessman. He will say that I only think about money and have lost my humanity."

Sheng Anning smiled and said, "Aunt, if you have made up your mind, come to our laboratory when you have time."

Wang Da nodded repeatedly: "No problem, over the years, I know you are not simple."

As the two were talking, Zhou Shixun pushed the door open.

As soon as he entered the room, Sheng An Ning smelled alcohol. His nose was very sensitive after spending time in the laboratory recently. He immediately smelled the smell of liquor and was a little surprised: "Are you taking a day off today? Are you back so early?"

Wang Da was usually busy, and although they lived in the front and back yards, it was difficult for them to meet. When he saw Zhou Shixun, he smiled and said, "Shixun is back? But I haven't seen you for a while. Your uncle kept saying at home that when you retire, you can go fishing together."

Zhou Shixun was stunned for a moment: "It's too early for me to retire, and I don't like fishing."

Sheng Anning saw that Zhou Shixun was in a bad mood: "Aunt, let's stop here for today. There are still some details. When you have time, come to the laboratory to find me and we will talk in detail."

Wang Da usually saw Zhou Shixun with an expressionless face, so he didn't notice that he was unhappy. He nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I have time on Monday, I will contact you then."

Sheng An Ning sent Wang Da away and came back to pour a glass of water for Zhou Shixun: "What's wrong? Did you learn to drink secretly outside?"

Zhou Shixun's expression was unnatural: "I didn't drink secretly, I just drank a little with Momo."

Sheng Anning was even more surprised: "You went to Momo to drink? Or, Momo was in a bad mood and came to you?"

It seemed that after Su Luoluo left, Mo Mo didn't seem to have changed much, but his mood seemed to be always low.

Zhou Shixun didn't say a word. He held Sheng Anning's hand, stroking her fingers, and looked at the watch on her wrist: "Isn't this watch inaccurate?"

Sheng An Ning shook her wrist and smiled: "This is a gift you gave me. I asked Mo Mo to fix it for me. Now it's the same time as the news broadcast, very accurate."
