You make money, I spend it, the rich stepmother is happy

Arriving at the barbecue restaurant, the waiter led the three of them to the private room to sit down.

Sheng Mumu saw that Qi Mo and Qi Shaobai were sitting still and had no intention of ordering food, so she took the initiative to take the ordering task.

After looking at it for a while, she closed the menu and said to the waiter:

"Come to a heart-warming family meal".

It's just right for three people, and the price is much cheaper than a la carte.

Sheng Mumu was proud of his beautiful quality of being rich but not extravagant, but he didn't expect that the two father and son of the Qi family looked over at the same time as soon as he finished speaking.

Just for a moment, they all looked away again, and returned to their silent and calm appearance.

Sheng Mumu: "???"

What's the meaning.

Do you think her ordering set meals is too shabby and doesn't show the temperament of a wealthy family?

Before I could think about it, the waiter had already brought up the ingredients and charcoal fire.

She first aimed at a plate of pork belly that looked very fresh, and spread them neatly on the baking tray.

Qi Shaobai was still thinking about the rumors he just heard in the community.

After a while, I finally couldn't bear it.

He put his hands in his pockets, leaned back, and suddenly said:

"I know everything about you."

After saying that, Sheng Mumu gave the hand that was turning the meat over with the barbecue tongs, and looked up blankly.

Alarm bells rang in my heart.

Know what?

Qi Shaobai's expression was solemn, her heart tightened when she saw her, and her hands trembled unconsciously.

Didn't she know that she and Qi Mo were married in a fake way? ! !

Qi Shaobai's gaze slowly fell on the burning charcoal fire.

"I heard people in the community say, you... want to divorce because of cheating."

The air seemed to freeze for a second.

In the silence, Sheng Mumu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "..."

Just when she was glad that Qi Shaobai didn't find out about the marriage contract and didn't have to terminate the agreement in advance.

Qi Mo beside him suddenly froze his eyes, and a gleam of coldness appeared in his dark pupils.

The three of them stopped talking.

Only the sound of "sizzling" barbecue came from time to time, which was particularly abrupt.

……

Finally, it was Qi Mo who spoke first to break the deathly silence.

He glanced at Qi Shaobai coldly, then his eyes stayed on Sheng Mumu, and he said slowly:

"Exactly, I came back from Shen City ahead of schedule to clarify this matter with you—"

He spoke calmly and calmly, but the two who listened to him were not calm at all.

Realizing that Qi Mo was going to say "cheating", for some reason, Sheng Mumu suddenly became nervous, and the hand under the table quietly tightened.

Many episodes of TV dramas I have watched before pop up at the same time, and I can't stop guessing.

Would he want to say that his Bai Yueguang has returned to China, and her fake wife will be laid off early?

Or, that woman is a new intern from their company, and they developed a relationship with each other day and night?

No matter what it is, she doesn't want to be laid off early...

Just as her thinking became more and more outrageous, and her expression gradually turned death-like, the man's deep and magnetic voice brought her back to reality.

"—that woman is Dr. Jiang, grandma's former personal doctor. I happened to meet that day and gave her a ride along the way."

"Grandma will come to Beijing after a while, and I will ask Dr. Jiang to give her a physical examination."

Qi Mo turned his head and glanced at Qi Shaobai again. When he spoke to his son, his tone was obviously a little bit cold:

"The rumors you heard are not facts."

After the words fell, Sheng Mumu and Qi Shaobai had two completely different expressions on their faces.

Qi Shaobai's shoulders sank as if relieved, and he suddenly realized:

"Doctor Jiang, I saw her when I was a child."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Shaobai frowned, and an unspeakable awkward feeling came to his heart.

Wouldn't it be like explaining to his father by saying that?

While thinking, he turned his gaze to Sheng Mumu.

I saw that Sheng Mumu's face did not relax at all, but gradually froze, her breathing slowed down, and she muttered:

"Is that so..."

She didn't hear Qi Shaobai's words very clearly.

After hearing the words "full physical examination" in Qi Mo's words, I suddenly thought of a very, very important thing.

In the book, the old lady of the Qi family, Qi Mo's grandma, is described from Qi Shaobai's perspective.

Mrs. Qi was diagnosed with a tumor before Qi Shaobai went to university, and it was already at an advanced stage when she was discovered. At that time, Qi Shaobai was participating in a study tour abroad, and Qi Mo was working abroad.

Old Mrs. Qi didn't want to make them sad, so she concealed the news of her illness. Her condition deteriorated rapidly and she died within a week.

Not being able to see Mrs. Qi for the last time became the biggest regret of the father and son.

Sheng Mumu's heart seemed to have been drenched with a handful of cold water, and he stared blankly at the two people who still had no idea what was going to happen, and a complex emotion spread over his heart.

After a while, she raised her lips and smiled, saying:

"When grandma comes to Beijing, I will accompany her to the medical examination."

As he spoke, he picked up the barbecue tongs and changed the subject.

"Eat it quickly, the meat will be burnt, if you don't move your chopsticks, it's not barbecue pork belly, it's cremated pork belly."

"laugh--"

The 17-year-old boy's emotions came and went quickly, and he was still frowning just now, but at this moment, he was poked into laughter by Sheng Mumu's words, and he beat his legs and laughed.

"What the hell is cremation!"

The atmosphere seemed to have eased, and Qi Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

His keen observation made him notice that Sheng Mumu was absent-minded when he spoke.

Without breaking the atmosphere, he silently rolled up his shirt cuffs.

Naturally, she reached out to take the barbecue tong from Sheng Mumu's hand.

"I'll bake it, you're hungry, eat first."

Sheng Mumu was stunned and didn't react, the clip in his hand had already been taken away by Qi Mo.

The action of the man grilling meat is not proficient, it can be seen that he usually does not enter the kitchen.

But his movements were neither too fast nor too slow, and his every move exuded a calm and calm temperament. On the contrary, he concealed his clumsy posture and showed a little calmness.

After a while, several slices of meat were piled up on the plate in front of her.

On the other side of the table, in front of Qi Shaobai, who was in the puberty stage of growing his body, was a solitary piece of meat.

Qi Shaobai: ...

*

Until the three of them finished the barbecue and returned home, Sheng Mumu was still thinking about Mrs. Qi.

It was written in the marriage contract that after Mrs. Qi's hundred years, the agreement would be automatically cancelled.

According to the development of the plot in the book, it should be less than a year before the old lady was diagnosed with a tumor.

If so, the cause can be detected in advance and treated in time.

Is it possible that the old lady can live a few more years?

In fact, she can pretend that she doesn't know anything, and wait for the day when the prenuptial agreement takes effect, and leave the Qi family with a large sum of money.

But people's hearts are made of meat after all.

Knowing how things are going to play out, you can't just sit back and watch regrets unfold before your eyes.

Sheng Mumu bit her lip.

thought secretly.

It doesn't matter, no matter what agreement or no agreement, and whether doing so will change the direction of the book.

When the old lady arrives in Beijing, I will accompany her to check her body carefully.

Even if the illness cannot be prevented, at least the two father and son of the Qi family should see the old lady for the last time without regret.

When Qi Mo came out of the shower, Sheng Mumu had already sorted out her emotions.

Seeing him come out, Sheng Mumu got up and went to the bathroom, planning to take a bath too.

The long hair was pulled up with a headband and tied into a rough ball.

Revealing smooth and slender shoulder and neck lines.

Her hair looks glamorous when it is loose, but when it is tied up, it can't hide its childishness.

When the two of them crossed their bodies, Qi Mo's eyes fell on the fluffy hair beside her ear, and suddenly he stopped in his footsteps and called her to stop.

"Wait, I have something to tell you."
