Chapter 8



Yu Mo sat in front of his family's five-figure carved round table, watching his mother Ji Yan rubbing her eyes vigorously. After a long while, he couldn't bear it any longer and put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Mom, do you have trachoma? Let's go to the hospital?"

Ji Yan glared at him resentfully: "Mom's hair has turned white worrying about your lifelong event, and you're still here making sarcastic remarks."

Yu Mo rolled his eyes, picked up his chopsticks again, and ate a piece of fish. Ji Yan asked cautiously, "Son, I saw an article online saying that 80% of boys with bangs have curly bangs. Your bangs... did they grow naturally or—"

"I grew it back when I was shooting for a poster. The stylist said I should keep it longer so I can tie it up next time to look younger." Yu Mo said expressionlessly, "Mom, you should avoid reading those online articles. It can easily lead to Alzheimer's."

"Then tell me the truth, are you really together with the second most handsome guy on your team?"

Yu Mo: “…”

It took him a while to realize that the "second most handsome guy" Ji Yan was referring to was Xiao Xingheng.

Ji Yan said shyly, "Mom isn't an old-fashioned person. You see, I'm actually quite open-minded. I also read Weibo and Zhihu and so on. I see they are all saying—"

"That's all just nonsense." Yu Mo's forehead was covered with three thick black lines. He felt extremely helpless. "Ms. Ji Yan, although many people are indeed coveting your son's young body, please believe that your son is still a straight man as straight as steel, and as pure as a blank sheet of paper."

"But Aunt Lu's son already has a child at your age, and you don't even have a girl around you. I'm worried that something might be wrong with you." Ji Yan glanced at Yu Mo's face with melancholy, and quickly changed her tone: "Of course, I don't mean to force you."

"It's all my dad's fault. He's still flying around at his age and never spends any time with you. Do you think our family needs that little money?" Yu Mo rolled his eyes and shook his head: "Mom, since you have so much free time, why don't you develop some hobbies to stop yourself from thinking about random things all day long."

"You are my mother's hobby!"

"...If you keep talking like that I'm going to call the police."

"Oh, really." Ji Yan said, "Ever since that incident with you two years ago, I haven't been able to sleep well all day long. No mother can bear it. Yu Mo, you have to understand Mom."

"Okay, I get it." Yu Mo took out a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Are you free later? Go out for a walk?"

Ji Yan knew that Yu Mo had always been a child who knew how to take care of other people's feelings. Boys of the same age with Yu Mo's looks and assets would have already been very popular. Yu Mo was not only very self-disciplined, but also knew to go home often during his breaks.

Seeing how good her son was, Ji Yan felt even more that she and Yu Chengen had wronged him.

Yu Mo suggested taking a walk after dinner, which Ji Yan was more than happy to do. The mother and son walked out hand in hand.

Ji Yan comes from a scholarly family. She always feels that a successful man needs an outstanding woman to be his wife. Although she is unwilling to force Yu Mo to get married now, she still secretly hopes that someone can take care of Yu Mo and not let her son suffer so much.

She wanted to say something around this central idea all the way, but she was afraid that she would not be able to get to the point and cause resistance from Yu Mo, so she could only stammer and ask about the situation of Yu Mo's team members.

The two of them walked to the entrance of Nanxu Mansion. Ji Yan said, "No one lives here now, so we rent it out to young people for gatherings. The lights are on all night long every weekend. It's quite quiet today, huh?" Her eyes moved.

In the hazy night, a young girl stood in front of the magnificent gate of Nanxu Mansion. She had slender shoulders and neck like a swan and stood gracefully. She was wearing jeans and a beige off-shoulder T-shirt, and looked thin in front of the magnificent building.

Yu Mo suddenly stopped.

Ji Yan was about to say something when Yu Mo let go of her arm and walked over quickly: "What are you doing here?"

——My son is so proactive towards the opposite sex?!

Ji Yan was stunned, but for some reason she felt secretly happy. She moved closer and saw the girl suddenly turn around and grab Yu Mo's arm.

Ji Yan's heart skipped a beat.

The girl was quite good-looking, with a very recognizable beauty. At this moment, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked so helpless with her lips bitten. She was so damn touching. Ji Yan felt as if she had suddenly returned to the state of watching idol dramas more than ten years ago. A voice in her heart frantically shouted, "Son, hug her quickly!"

What a match!

Lin Meng really didn't expect that group of people would disappear. Although she couldn't stand Lin Sitian, she certainly couldn't forgive herself if something really happened to Lin Sitian. Her thoughts were in a mess for a while.

When she heard Yu Mo's voice, the dependence dormant in her bones rose up and was out of control.

"Captain! Captain, they're all gone!" She grabbed the man's arm and said anxiously.

After she finished speaking, she noticed that there was a very beautiful woman standing next to Yu Mo.

The woman was wearing a long dress that looked quite expensive. She had light makeup on and looked to be in her thirties. She was graceful and elegant, but what was a little distracting was that her quiet eyes were like two searchlights, staring at the part where Lin Meng and Yu Mo were touching.

An invisible lightning flashed across Lin Meng's head. She seemed to remember something, and was too embarrassed by her own gaffe to raise her head. She quickly retracted her hand, rubbing her palm against her collar twice: "Yes, I'm sorry...that..." She turned her face away and apologized stiffly: "I didn't mean to pull him, I just hooked it by accident..."

Ji Yan: “?”

Yu Mo: “…”

He stared at Lin Meng in confusion for a while, then suddenly laughed: "What are you thinking about? This is my mother."

"?!" Lin Meng was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly jumped up and down: "Is this your mother?!——" After she finished shouting, she realized that something was wrong and hurriedly changed her words: "No, I mean she is too young and doesn't look like your aunt——No, it's my aunt, and it's not——"

Ji Yan finally understood this time and was overjoyed.

"Oh, how can I be that young?" She covered her face with one hand and said shyly, "You are such a good complimenter, little girl."

Yu Mo: “…”

The more Ji Yan looked at Lin Meng, the more she liked her. She stepped forward and took Lin Meng's hand: "Girl, are you lost? We live here and are very familiar with this area, Yu Mo!" She turned her head and glared: "Don't just stand there and watch someone die."

"Which eye of yours saw me standing by and watching someone die without helping." Yu Mo was helpless. He put one hand in his pocket and looked: "Xingmi seems to be having a party here today. Are you attending?"

Lin Meng was still brooding over her earlier stupidity. She lowered her head and looked as if she didn't want to pay attention to him. Ji Yan gently shook her wrist and said, "Can you tell your aunt about it?"

Lin Meng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "My cousin participated. She was the only woman. They were still there an hour ago..."

"This is terrible." Ji Yan hissed and raised her hand to push Yu Mo: "Hey, don't walk with me anymore. Help the girl find someone first."

"Then you go home first?" Yu Mo was thinking this: "Be careful."

Lin Meng called Lin Sitian a few more times, but all the lines were busy. Yu Mo said, "Ye Feng from the Yogurt Team is here too. I know him. He's a very upright person and he shouldn't let them mess around. I'll give him a call first."

The phone call went unanswered. Yu Mo recalled Ye Feng's previous state of agitation and frowned, "What a mess."

Lin Meng asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Mo shook his head without saying anything, flipped through the address book, found someone named Dai Cong, dialed him and the call was connected quickly.

"Brother Yu!" Dai Cong shouted at the top of his lungs amidst the clamor on the other end of the line: "Good evening! Good luck!"

Yu Mo sensed a hint of drunkenness in the voice and frowned even deeper: "Where are you?"

"We're at—Brother Yu, are you coming too?" Dai Cong laughed and said, "That's great! I'll send you the address!"

He muttered as he sent the message, "If I had known Brother Yu was coming, I would have called a few more girls. This one isn't enough, damn, why don't you bring one yourself, hahahaha!"

The more he spoke, the more outrageous his words became. Yu Mo sneered silently, his tone flat: "We're cracking down on pornography and illegal publications. Don't go too far."

"Just kidding, it's a matter of mutual consent." Dai Cong said, "You're too conservative."

Yu Mo: "Probably."

He hung up the phone. Dai Cong had already sent the address, which was a star-rated hotel. Yu Mo glanced at Lin Meng, who was looking anxiously beside him, and said, "I got the address." He shook his phone.

"Where is it?" Lin Meng said, "Then I'll call a taxi over now."

"What car?" Yu Mo pressed down her hand that was about to call an online taxi: "I can drive there, you..." He thought for a moment: "Don't go, come to my house and wait for me."

"I want to go!" Lin Meng clenched his fist: "Send me the address, I'll take a taxi myself, you go home and stay with your mother!"

"How can you be so ruthless as to cross the river and destroy the bridge?" Yu Mo showed a helpless look: "Just throw it away after use?"

"Who hired you? I just asked you to make a phone call!" Lin Meng glared, wrinkling his nose fiercely. "Aren't you a public figure? I can't afford to pay if your image is ruined. Besides, don't you professional players have rules that say you'll be banned if you cause trouble?"

Yu Mo tilted his head, and unexpectedly heard a hint of concern from the tone.

Yu Mo: My wife and mother have wild imaginations.
