Through the phone, Yu Mo felt that although the girl had almost endured it, she was still about to cry.
It seems that Winter was really wronged.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Is it convenient to go out now?"
Lin Meng nodded: "Sure, the training tasks are completed, and no one cares about me now..."
Yu Mo gave a nearby address and said softly, "Pack up your clothes and go out. I'll come find you."
After saying that, he hung up the video call and stood up from the table.
Li Ze just happened to be coming out of the training room. He bumped into Yu Mo and raised his hand to stop him. He said expectantly, "Captain, are you free later? I want to play a duo with you."
Yu Mo smiled and declined, "Let's do it another day. I have something to do right now."
Li Ze frowned slightly and said stubbornly, "Just one, Captain! I don't want you to lead the team, I just want to test my own skills."
At this time, Panda also jumped out of the training room. He rushed into the restaurant like a tornado and just happened to hear what Li Ze said. He shouted, "Hey! Newcomer, let me tell you, if you want to test your level, you must not queue with the captain!"
Li Ze hated hearing the word "newcomer" the most. His brows furrowed even deeper, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why?"
"I can tell you from personal experience that duo-queuing with the captain will leave you with no gaming experience at all." Panda leaned over the table, his eyes fixed on the bowl of creamy pasta. "You'll be constantly carried away, feeling like you have no reason to exist. Unless you're matched against five professional players, they might need you to offer a bit of your ass to provide them with a comfortable environment to seduce them." He slurped his saliva and said, "Captain, can I have a taste of your noodles? They look delicious!"
"It's all yours." Yu Mo said, "I haven't touched it yet."
"I wouldn't mind it even if I touched it!" Panda looked for chopsticks with a beaming expression. He slurped up a mouthful of noodles, his mouth full of cream sauce, and looked at Li Ze beside him with a satisfied look: "Hey, Dragon, do you want to eat it?"
A trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed across Li Ze's eyes. He shook his head and said, "No, I'm not hungry."
"Then I'll share it with the fawn!" Panda said with a smile, and ran back to the training room nimbly.
Li Ze turned his head to look at Panda's back as he went upstairs, his breathing rising and falling a few times. Yu Mo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go train. I'm going out first."
The temperature difference between morning and evening was quite large this season. Lin Meng put on a denim jacket and went out. The address Yu Mo sent her was a cafe with very bourgeois decoration, not far from Winter's club. There were many people coming and going in front of the door, but it was very quiet inside, making it a perfect place to wait for someone. Lin Meng found a seat and sat down, thinking that since she was taking up someone else's empty seat while waiting for someone, she should order a drink. At this time, a girl in a plaid apron came over, bent down and whispered with a smile, "Excuse me, are you Miss Lin Meng?"
Lin Meng was stunned and nodded: "Yes, right..."
"Mr. Yu, I've pre-ordered hot cocoa and a blueberry Napoleon for you," the apron-wearing girl said with a smile. "You've already paid. Could you please confirm if I can serve them to you now?"
Lin Meng: “Huh?”
The apron-wearing girl was very discerning. She brought the food over on a plate and said with a smile, "Mr. Yu left a message for you. It's all written on a small piece of paper and is under the plate. Please enjoy your drinks and snacks. Call me if you need anything."
Lin Meng blinked, said thank you, and then moved the small plate containing Napoleon away. Sure enough, she saw a grass-green heart-shaped note underneath.
"Fill your stomach, be careful not to overeat. Wait for me for half an hour and I'll take you to a feast."
Lin Meng raised the corners of his lips quickly, then forced them flat.
What are you laughing at, Lin Xiaomeng? I can get rid of you with just a little sweet food! So cheap!
She muttered this in her mind, but still picked up the fork and ate the cake in no time, and then gulped down half a cup of cocoa milk.
The cake is sweet but not greasy, crispy and refreshing, and paired with the mild and warm chocolate milk, it is like a whole set of essential oil SPA for the dry and tight internal organs.
"Ah... so good..." She slid down and lay on the small sofa in a classic Ge You posture, relaxing her whole body, then turned her head to look out the window.
The bustling metropolis is bustling with traffic at night. Behind a glass, there is a non-stop hustle and bustle outside, while inside there is an artificially created tranquility.
Lin Meng's heart suddenly relaxed, and she lay on the small table and closed her eyes silently.
After an unknown amount of time, it seemed like someone was poking her face.
Poke, poke, poke.
Lin Meng was sleeping soundly and was very grumpy when she woke up. She didn't even open her eyes and waved her arms to drive the man away violently, hitting him hard several times on the limbs that were leaning towards her. It was very clear that she was saying, "Don't disturb this queen's sleep."
The other person seemed to have lost to her and stopped trying to wake her up. Instead, he gently hugged her shoulders and arms.
Lin Meng was confused, but the breath transmitted by the other party was familiar and reliable. She was not happy to wake up, so she fell like a tumbler and lay on the other party's back.
She slept soundly for another half an hour, and when she woke up, she found herself in the passenger seat of the Yu family's Porsche 911, their electric scooter.
The flashing car lights in front of her eyes blurred her vision. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and tried to get closer to see. As soon as she stood up, she felt a tightness in her chest and found that the seat belt was fastened firmly.
"Hey..." She called out, turned around, and saw the "driver" himself was playing with his phone with his head down.
"Are you awake?" Yu Mo glanced at the road ahead and laughed, "I give you credit. You slept for so long, I thought I drugged you."
Hearing his voice, Lin Meng felt at ease from the bottom of her heart. She roughly guessed the process of Yu Mo bringing her from the cafe where she was sleeping like a dead pig and fastening her seat belt, and what kind of intimate contact they had had. She couldn't help but feel a little excited and even forgot the most basic argument. She glanced at the man with her eyes, and the grievance came back: "Who told you to make me wait for so long?" She muttered in a low voice.
Yu Mo's eyes moved slightly and he looked at her sideways.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he had swallowed some questions, and smiled: "What would you like to eat? Chinese, Western, Japanese, and Korean food, all are fine."
"I want to eat meat." Lin Meng lowered his eyes and said while picking at his seat belt.
"Meat, let me think about it." Yu Mo said.
Lin Meng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned around and asked, "That's not right. Didn't Doctor Zhao tell you to eat liquid food for a month?"
Yu Mo: “…”
Someone actually still remembers this!
Yu Mo felt that his physical condition was excellent and he never had even a cold or a flu. However, in his first 24 hours in the hospital, he kicked over a knife and a hooligan, so he felt that being forced to stay in the hospital for observation for 48 hours was the upper limit of the limit.
He had to eat liquid food for a month, and the aunt at the base had to take the trouble to do it. Not only was it troublesome, but even Yu Mo himself found it tiring. He was surrounded by big men with rough edges, and since no one mentioned it, he just muddled through and pretended nothing happened. He ate and drank as he should, and if his stomach felt uncomfortable after eating, he would take an omeprazole tablet. He had lived a rough life until today.
The more Lin Meng thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
"You're eating creamy spaghetti so late?" she asked, frowning.
Yu Mo fell silent, looking out the window with a guilty look on his face: "I didn't eat it, I gave it all to Panda."
Lin Meng ignored her and said, "Let's go find some place to drink porridge!"
Yu Mo turned around in surprise: "Don't you want to eat meat?"
"Why are you eating meat?" Lin Meng said angrily, "Drink porridge!"
As luck would have it, there seemed to be a traffic accident on the elevated road, causing severe congestion and extremely bad road conditions. Yu Mo's original plan to "take Lin Xiaomeng flying" was aborted.
It was delayed until eight or nine o'clock.
Yu Mo felt that there was something wrong with him. He had gone out with the intention of saving the poor little thing, but ended up bringing back a housekeeper.
Lin Meng insisted that he drink porridge, so he could only make a fuss about what kind of porridge to drink. Porridge also comes in different grades. He called a private restaurant. The owner was an old acquaintance of the Yu family. He had a very free and easy personality and opened and closed the restaurant according to his personal preferences. At this time, he received a call from Yu Mo and immediately expressed his welcome.
This private restaurant was located in a secluded office building. Yu Mo led Lin Meng inside. A mustachioed man came out to greet them, saying with a smile, "Silence, long time no see. What would you like to eat today? It's a great time for crabs now. Raw crabs with soy sauce, fresh. Would you like two?"
Yu Mo: "...I drink porridge."
The boss thought he had misheard and his expression cracked: "What?"
Lin Meng always thought that the boss was trying to force a sale, so she explained first: "His stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, and the doctor said he needs to drink porridge for a month!"
The boss glanced at Lin Meng's face and uttered a thoughtful "Oh".
"Porridge." He stroked the black beard on his chin and smiled, "Okay, salty porridge or sweet porridge? Seafood porridge or eight-treasure porridge?"
"I'll find a place to sit down first." Yu Mo laughed: "Thank you so much, Boss Han, for coming to eat so late."
"What trouble are you talking about? We're already so familiar with each other." Han Xiaogang said, "If you're talking about trouble, isn't your mother giving me enough trouble? Hahahaha!"
As he spoke, he leaned against the door, took out his cell phone, and sent a text message to "Ji Yan" in the contact list.
[Miss Ji, this is a rare thing! Your son brought a beautiful girl to my place for dinner. Don't miss it if you're passing by! Come catch them in the act!]
A few seconds later, Ji Yan called directly.
"Hey! Old Han!" Ms. Ji called out impatiently from the other end: "Is it a woman? Is it really a woman?"
"You're talking nonsense." Han Xiaogang lowered his voice and peeked inside: "Are my eyes just decorations? I can't tell the difference between a man and a woman."
"Describe to me what it looks like!" Ji Yanhuo said anxiously.
"Is this necessary?"
"Of course it's necessary!" Ji Yan said, "Then I have to see what script I should take later."
"What do you mean?" Han Xiaogang was confused.
"Oh, Old Han, you don't know, that woman surnamed Liu who went to the hot spring with me is crazy. She insisted on introducing her niece to my son. She was so amazing that I thought her niece was a princess of Saudi Arabia. Let me tell you, my son had a girl he really liked before, and I like her very much too. If it was her, I would go with the flow and make woman surnamed Liu give up.
"What if it's not?"
"Let them fight each other," said Ms. Niuhulu Ji. "Let us, the little lemons, reap the benefits!"
"Is it your son looking for a partner or you looking for a partner?" Han Xiaogang was shocked by Ji Yan's inner thoughts.
"So what if I like that girl?" Ji Yan said confidently, "I raised Yu Mo so much, shouldn't I have some say in who he's with?"
"What if your son likes this?"
"Impossible, I know Yu Mo." Ji Yan said, "He's completely devoted to that girl. You haven't seen how jealous he is. He's exactly like Old Yu when he was young. But there are so many troublemakers around him. Who knows, there might be some little slut pestering him for free food - well, you wouldn't understand even if I tell you!"
Han Xiaogang was helpless: "Okay, then I'll take a photo for you, and you can see if she is your destined daughter-in-law."
Ji Yan: "Okay, hurry up!"
Over there, Yu Mo and Lin Meng had no idea how big a game Ms. Ji was playing. A waiter handed over some trendy ingredients, and Yu Mo said, "Their dishes are all customized according to the customers' tastes. Take a look, what do you want to eat?"
Lin Meng didn't know much about ingredients and wasn't too picky, so Yu Mo ultimately made the decision and asked for some stomach-nourishing Chinese medicinal ingredients for Han □□ to make porridge.
While waiting, Lin Meng held his chin with both hands, looking a little absent-minded.
Yu Mo knew that Lin Meng was not one to give in easily. What happened on the phone just now was probably her limit. So he took out a pair of chopsticks and placed them in front of her, saying nonchalantly, "Lemon, without the instructor to guide you, will the training go smoothly?"
"No, not really." Lin Meng turned her head and said seriously, "Training has been going so smoothly. My recent win rate is 76%. I'm the one who's leading a bunch of noobs." After a pause, she whispered, "I've led them all, and they don't even know how to be grateful... ungrateful wolves."
"There are two layers of belly between people." Yu Mo folded his hands on the table and said slowly, "It takes time to get to know someone."
"It's their own fault for lacking common sense!" Lin Meng slammed the table and angrily cursed, "Who are we calling invasive species?! Without me, they'd be the ones to suffer the consequences! Birds of a feather, acting like I'd happily engage in a team fight with them!"
"Then...would you like me to go and say hello for you?" Yu Mo tilted his head. "Or, maybe just switch teams?"
"No!" Lin Meng blurted out: "I don't need your help!"
I knew it would be like this.
Yu Mo pulled the corners of his lips slightly.
Lin Xiaomeng was such a proud person that she wouldn't back down in the face of difficulties. It was just that she had never learned how to get along with others, and no one taught her.
Even if he said hello to Crystal in secret, and Crystal came forward to force those guys to apologize, I'm afraid the actual effect would only be counterproductive.
They are all stubborn and rebellious people who refuse to admit defeat.
Yu Mo was a little worried. He thought, if he said to Lin Xiaomeng "You should do this and that" at this time, this guy would probably get furious and say that he was a disloyal person, right?
Still no, no, I have no desire to survive.
Feed her first and make her happy before talking about other things.
Yu Mo thought about it and decided to hold back for the time being.
At this time, two bowls of steaming porridge were brought up. Yu Mo said, "Eat first, don't think about it, ah."
Lin Meng said "hmm" and picked up the spoon.
Just as she was about to start eating, she heard several clear laughs coming from the door.
"Mrs. Liu, you're absolutely right!" Ji Yan, dressed in a cheongsam with a furry waistcoat, walked in gracefully and elegantly. "You really should do things at your age. Putting it off is just putting yourself off!"
"Tingting, you are so outstanding, you should be extra cautious about your lifelong affairs. Don't worry, Aunt Ji is taking you to heart."
"Tingting, why don't you thank Aunt Ji quickly? From now on, Aunt Ji is your godmother! Call her Mom when we meet next time, okay?"
"Thank you, Aunt Ji."
"Look at this kid, he's still shy, hahaha!"
The sound of high heels "dengdengdeng" was heard. Yu Mo was stunned and turned his head. He saw Ji Yan and a plump lady walking towards him hand in hand, like sisters. There was also a young woman in her twenties with exquisite makeup and a smile on her face.
"Mom?" Yu Mo was surprised. "Why are you here?" He looked at the two uninvited guests again. "Who are they?"
He subconsciously glanced at Lin Meng opposite him. Lin Xiaomeng still had half a spoon in her mouth, her eyes wide open in shock.
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Ji Yan smiled radiantly and said in a pinched voice, "Son, you're here too. It's perfect. Let's share a table for dinner. Come on, let's switch to the six-person table."
Yu Mo had no idea what Ji Yan was up to, so he had to follow Lin Meng and change tables with his bowl of porridge. After changing tables, Ji Yan took the lead and sat next to Lin Meng, so Yu Mo had no choice but to sit across the table. The girl named Tingting squeezed in next to him and pulled Mrs. Liu to sit down with them.
Lin Meng was not used to eating at the same table with strangers. Her whole body was stiff and she was at a loss. However, Ji Yan grabbed her hand under the table, pushed something from her palm, and put it on her ring finger.
Mrs. Liu said, "Oh my, Yu Mo is so beautiful. She looks just like you, Sister Yan! She's very successful in her career now, right? She's a real role model for the younger generation. Tingting, you need to learn from her!"
Yu Mo was a little confused by her flattery and could only smile politely: "Aunt Liu, you are too kind. How can I be worthy of being a role model? The most I can do is to ensure that I don't starve to death or rely on my parents for support." At this time, the waiter brought a pot of tea. Yu Mo took it and stood up to pour water for Mrs. Liu and Tingting.
He bent his fingers slightly and clasped them on the ears of the blue and white porcelain teapot. The outline was almost comparable to the pattern of the porcelain. Tingting couldn't help but take a few more glances. After Yu Mo poured tea for her and Mrs. Liu, he reminded them, "Be careful with the heat," and then sat back down.
"Oh, this tutor is so good!" Mrs. Liu praised. "Yu Mo, our Tingting also took etiquette classes abroad. She is a real lady."
Tingting's face turned even redder. She picked up the teacup and blew on it gently, smiling without saying a word.
Yu Mo was stunned by the sudden sales pitch: "That's great."
"Our Tingting is beautiful, gentle and considerate. She's been learning all kinds of Western classical instruments, as well as ballet and bel canto, since she was young. Oh, and she even knows wine," Mrs. Liu began boasting. "Those girls who were raised in rough conditions can't compare to our Tingting. Many men say that it's so prestigious to take our Tingting out. If you could marry her, you'd be truly blessed in your past life."
Yu Mo was stunned for a moment, frowning subconsciously. He glanced at Lin Meng, who was becoming increasingly helpless across from him, and felt inexplicably irritated.
"Aunt Liu, I don't think what you said is right." He whispered, "It's good for girls to learn things, but that's also to enrich themselves and cultivate their sentiments. In my opinion, you can learn anything as long as you like it. If you want to be taken out with the intention of looking decent for a man, then aren't you devaluing yourself and objectifying yourself as a man's appendage?"
"Yu Mo!" Ji Yan suddenly spoke, lazily saying, "How can you talk like that? Mrs. Liu's daughter is going to be the wife of a big shot. Big shots always attend high-end events, so of course the women they take out have to have substance and temperament. What do you, an older internet addict, know? Even if you want to take her out, she's not willing to let you do it!"
Yu Mo: “…”
Mrs. Liu and Tingting both looked a little embarrassed. Tingting seemed a little anxious and whispered, "No, I actually quite like it—"
"Hey, my son's brain circuit is just like Lao Yu's. He speaks without thinking." Ji Yan interrupted without leaving a trace: "Tingting, don't take it to heart. Anyway, you are not marrying him, so let's ignore him, okay!"
Tingting didn't give up: "No, Aunt Ji, I think——"
Ji Yan: "Oh, Little Lemon, can you help me get a pair of chopsticks?"
Lin Meng, who had been out of the loop, was suddenly called out: "Huh?"
The chopsticks were on the corner of the table to her right. She stood up blankly and took them with her right hand. The moment she stretched out her hand, the light from the crystal chandelier above her head flashed, and it just happened to reflect on her ring finger.
The diamonds shine brightly.
Yu Mo was startled.
The girl's hands were slender and fair. The diamond ring on her ring finger was a little loose, but it was particularly bright and beautiful, making people unable to take their eyes off it.
He was stunned for two seconds, and felt Ji Yan kicking him with the toe of her high heels under the table, and then she secretly handed him something.
The sterilizing machine for storing chopsticks on the table was a bit advanced. Lin Meng fiddled with it for a long time without success, and felt even more embarrassed in front of strangers. At this time, Yu Mo stood up and said, "I'll do it."
Lin Meng moved aside a little.
When the man's fingers stretched out, Ji Yan heard Mrs. Liu and her baby daughter gasp with satisfaction.
"This ring—" Mrs. Liu actually stuttered: "This ring—"
"It's that Tiffany wedding ring." Ji Yan said with feigned disdain, "A classic style, so common! I asked Yu Mo to get one custom-made, but he refused. He's just that lazy!"
"Then he, he——" Tingting shuddered, "He's married?!"
"Hey, didn't I tell you?" Ji Yan's face was full of genuine surprise: "My son got engaged last year! Didn't I tell you, Mrs. Liu, that people should do what they should do at their age! For boys, only when they have settled down their lifelong affairs can they focus on their careers-"
The more she said this, the more foolish and ridiculous the Liu family mother and daughter's previous show-off seemed. When the Liu family mother and daughter fled in panic, Ms. Ji was still trying hard to play the innocent little white flower: "Hey, Mrs. Liu, don't go! Have a meal first! Didn't you ask me to help you find an in-law?!"
She kept nagging for a long time, and Yu Mo rolled her eyes: "Mom, that's enough. Are you so happy just to be naughty?"
Ji Yan's expression changed quickly. She sneered and sat back at the table: "Of course not. Let her keep dragging me here and nagging me all day long."
Yu Mo was helpless: "Then tell me in advance what you are going to do next time. I don't care. Lin Xiaomeng was scared by you!"
Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned around to grab Lin Meng's hand: "Little Lemon, did Auntie scare you? I'm sorry."
Lin Meng stared blankly at the ring on her hand, then suddenly came to her senses.
"No, no." She quickly glanced at Yu Mo's ring finger. She didn't know what she thought of, but her ears turned red. "I just... have never seen a ring."
"Then I'll give you this ring." Ji Yan said with a smile, "Consider it your aunt's apology to you."
Yu Mo was infuriated by his mother's eccentricity: "Oh my god, who gives a wedding ring as a gift to a little girl?"
"What's wrong with a wedding ring? Isn't a wedding ring money?" Ji Yan glared at him: "Lin Xiaomeng, if you don't like it, Auntie can give you a discount!"
Lin Meng waved her hands repeatedly: "Ah, no, no, no—" She was quite embarrassed, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I quite like it..."
"Do you like it?" Ji Yan smiled.
"I mean, I really like this style!" Lin Meng quickly defended herself, "I just think it looks good!"
"I understand, I understand." Ji Yan laughed when she heard her cover-up: "I think it looks good too. Wedding rings, what's the big deal? If I like them, I'll buy ten or eight pairs and wear one on my left hand and one on my right hand!"
Yu Mo: “…”
Ji Yan suddenly glared: "Hey, give me back yours!"
Yu Mo: "What?"
Ji Yan: "I said! Give me back yours!"
Yu Mo: "Why?"
Ji Yan: "If you take her out, it will easily tarnish Little Lemon's reputation!"
Yu Mo: “……?”
Yu Mo: My biological mother???
Ms. Niuhulu Ji is not only wealthy but also a black.
