Professor He, fell in the next second

Xu Mo looked at the things placed in the living room, sighed, and glanced at Chen Chen leisurely.

"You're really exaggerating."

"I bought you a lot of delicious food, eat more."

"I'll be leaving soon."

"Then leave it to your parents to eat slowly."

"Whose colleague brought so many things to celebrate the New Year? How can I explain it to my parents?"

"No need to explain, we are indeed ordinary colleagues now." Chen Chen was very calm.

"Don't talk yet...let me be quiet for a while."

Xu Mo sighed. After all, everyone was here and now it was useless no matter what he said. His parents wouldn't believe it anyway.

They both looked at him suspiciously now.

"What are you two doing standing like this? Sit down quickly."

Chen Chen was warmly invited to sit down, and then he started to inquire about how many people there were in Chen Chen's family.

Xu Mo covered his face. It was too obvious, parents, it was too much.

"I still have a sister at home, but she is already married."

"My sisters are already married, so your parents are waiting for you to get married now."

"Yes, but my family won't rush me for the time being. After all, I have just graduated and my job is not very stable."

Xu Mo lowered her head. She was really embarrassed to look up now.

"She must have been with you when I called Mo Mo yesterday. After I came back in the evening, I was worried that our hotel would be closed during the Chinese New Year, so that you wouldn't have a place to stay. We didn't know you were coming to play before. If it had been early He said that he stayed at home last night and there were many empty rooms at home."

Chen Chen smiled, "That's so embarrassing. I searched for a while last night and found

It was a hotel that was still open. I didn’t make much preparation when I came here, so I just came here to have some fun. Momo just said that I would go back in the afternoon and wait for her to come with me. I drove here and I was a little sleepy by myself, so I just wanted Momo to accompany me. I. "

"Okay then, you two go back together, you just have company."

Then Xu's mother also spoke, "Momo doesn't come back very often. Nancheng is not close to home, and it's not very convenient to go back and forth. There are more over there, so please take care of her."

"Uncle and aunt, what are you talking about? You still take care of me silently when you go to work. We all work in the same office and don't talk nonsense."

Xu Mo saw his parents smiling more and more happily.

She finally understood that she had now lured the wolf into the house.

"Mom and Dad, let me take him for a walk around the area."

"Okay, then you go out and have some fun. Don't walk too far. I'll call you after lunch."

"Ah."

Xu Mo couldn't wait to pull Chen Chen and leave.

As a result, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw his aunt coming over. Xu Mo really regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have done it sooner. Why did he have to wait until someone came over?

I can't leave now.

"silently."

Xu Mo forced out a smile and said, "Auntie."

"Are there any relatives at home?" When the nanny spoke, her eyes were fixed on Chen Chen.

"No, this is my colleague."

The next second the nanny began to ask questions knowingly, "It's the colleague you met in the restaurant yesterday."

"Yes, he came to play with us, and I happened to be going back today. I planned to give him a lift on the way and let him come to my house for a meal."

Chen Chen knew it when he heard the title

Yes, Xu Mo's blind date yesterday was arranged by this aunt, so these words now are just to test him.

"I came back and told your mother not to cook today, but to go to my aunt's house to eat. It just so happened that your uncle didn't go to visit relatives today, so he and his family were sitting at home having fun together."

Xu Mo smiled and said, "My dad went out to buy groceries in the morning, and my mom is preparing it. I have to leave after eating, so my aunt won't be in trouble."

"What's the trouble? We're all a family. I just told your mother to come over at noon."

Xu Mo sighed, and looked sad when he left with Chen Chen.

"Do you really not want to go to your aunt's house for dinner?" Chen Chen asked.

"Why should I take you over for dinner? They originally suspected that you came to disrupt my blind date yesterday. They thought I was deliberately lying to them. In fact, I already have a boyfriend. If you are asked to come over today, they are not allowed to chase you one by one and ask questions. ?"

Chen Chen looked indifferent, "Just ask me if you ask, then I'll tell you the truth, what's the point of feeling guilty?"

"If I go to my aunt's house for dinner, I have to meet my grandparents."

"Don't you want to see them?"

Xu Mo has been hiding at home for the past few days since he had a falling out at the dinner table on New Year's Eve. Naturally, he has not met his grandparents. Of course, his grandparents have not come over these days, and they are probably still angry.

Xu Mo didn't plan to say hello to them in the afternoon and left directly. The last time I came back, it would be fine if they didn't mention it. In fact, I still held on to it and it didn't look good to me. Xu Mo didn't have to talk to them. They came and went.

"During the New Year

I had a little trouble with them. "Xu Mo didn't go into details, he just mentioned it casually.

Chen Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them walked along the road. In this season, the hillsides in the distance were still bleak and looked a bit desolate.

However, spring and summer are very bright and lush, which makes people feel good just looking at them.

"You were so early yesterday. Do your family members know? And what did your sister say? Oh, by the way, your sister sent me a red envelope on the night of my thirties."

"Well, I was right next to my sister at the time. She was really stingy and didn't even send it to me."

"Didn't I send it to you later?"

Chen Chen began to sigh, "When I was still studying a few years ago, I always received the most red envelopes every time. But now that I am working and my nephew was born, I have no red envelopes at all. Every year I can only look at my little nephew with envy."

Xu Mo smiled and said, "Then am I the only one who sends you a red envelope this year?"

"Of course, I have to keep the money in the red envelope and look at it every day."

"Can't you just see the flowers?"

"Yes, I just watch it every day without spending a penny."

After walking a few steps, Chen Chen asked again, "Did your aunt and your parents say anything after you went back yesterday?"

"When I went back, everyone was sitting in the living room waiting for me. My parents would definitely not say anything about me. Originally, my parents had no choice but to ask me to come over for a meal. It didn't matter whether we could get along or not. It's up to me, but my cousin-in-law seems to be offended."

"What should we do?" Chen Chen stopped.

Xu Mo shook his head, "

There's nothing you can do about it. You can only offend her. I don't know what she thinks. OK, she insists on introducing me to his cousin. You also met that boy yesterday. My eldest aunt said that his family's condition is Yes, the job he found was not bad, but I thought that he would only be able to earn around [-] yuan for a month after working in that job, which was not as much money as I would make in the future, and he even wanted to ask me to resign. Why go to his city and live with him? I don’t earn less than him, so why should I resign? Of course, I won't let him resign. If he resigns, is it possible that I still have to work to support him? no. "

When we talked about this topic yesterday, both parties knew that there was no possibility of continuing the conversation without any savings.

It's just because I have some relatives at home that I can't leave directly.

As a result, the troublemaker Chen Chen happened to come over, and the boy naturally attributed all the faults to himself and Chen Chen.

She felt that Xu Mo was teasing her and going on a blind date with her even though she had a boyfriend, so forget it. She even asked her boyfriend to come over to disrupt the situation during the meal, sincerely not giving him face.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Xu Mo has no such intention.

"Then what kind of person do you want to find in the future? Do you mean to find one in Nancheng? In this way, neither of you will have to feel wronged, and neither of you will go to live in your own city." Chen Chen said with a smile at the corner of his mouth With a smile, he seemed to be asking questions knowingly.

Xu Mo suddenly didn't want to talk to him, "Do you know that your face is a bit annoying now?"

"Where is it? I'm just curious. Tell me, what kind of thing are you looking for?"

"Leave me alone."

Xu

Mo simply quickened his pace and ignored him.

Chen Chen chased after him and asked, "Why are you so angry when you're so good? What do you think of me? I'm also from Nancheng, and I still have a house there, so why don't you just make do with me? We both study law. Yes, there are also common topics.”

Xu Mo waited a moment and started to choke him, "I don't think we are very suitable for each other. Think about it, if we get divorced in the future, no one will suffer in the divorce lawsuit."

Chen Chen was stunned for a moment and then laughed angrily, "I haven't even caught up with you yet, and you want to file a divorce lawsuit with me?"

"Think about all the possibilities."

"..." Chen Chen laughed for a while.

The weather was good today. The two of them walked for a long time. They saw that they were already far away and then slowly walked back.

"Have you packed your things? What time should we set off in the afternoon?"

"I've already packed up. Let's leave after dinner. Try to get to Nancheng by the time the registration is finished. It's not convenient to drive at night."

Chen Chen said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I had a good rest last night. Anyway, I'm driving. Aren't you staying with me next to me? If we talk, I won't doze off."

The two of them had to go around the village when they went back.

There were old men and women sitting outside basking in the sun, and they all looked over.

"Mo Mo, who are you next to you?"

The uncles and aunties only talk and ask questions.

On the contrary, Chen Chen stood aside and stared at Xu Mo with a smile, looking at his somewhat embarrassed expression.

"My friend, come and play at my place."

"You're here to pay New Year's greetings? Where is your friend's house? Where are you from?"

Before Xu Mo could speak, Chen Chen took the initiative to hand over

He said, "I'm from Nancheng, and I'm a colleague of Xu Mo. I'm traveling away from here during the Chinese New Year, so I just happened to come here to pay my New Year greetings."

"Nancheng is quite far away. Didn't Momo work there before?"

Seeing that these uncles and aunties were ready to get to the bottom of things, Xu Mo quickly took the people away.

"My mother called me and asked me to go back for dinner, so we went back first."

When Xu Mo returned home, the last thing he expected to happen happened.

My parents are both at my uncle's house, so I will eat this meal at my uncle's house too.

Xu's mother came over and pulled her and said, "Your uncle and your eldest aunt have come over and said it, and they really can't refuse. Tell Xiao Chen later that if he hears anything, tell him not to care. You two will go back after eating." , Aren’t you leaving in the afternoon?”

Xu Mo nodded, "How about I take him out to eat? We'll just come back after strolling outside."

Before Xu Mo finished speaking, the eldest aunt had already come out, "I was about to call you. Now that you're back, come over quickly. Dinner will be served soon. Call your colleagues."

Xu Mo smiled awkwardly.

Follow Chen Chen towards his aunt's house.

"We'll go over to eat later. If they say anything at the table, just listen to it and don't take it seriously."

"it is good."

"My grandparents may speak harshly, so don't worry about it."

"know."

After the two passed by, the cousin-in-law was holding the child in the yard.

"Mo Mo." She saw Xu Mo greeting her enthusiastically, and then his eyes fell on Chen Chen beside her.

Xu Mo still had to introduce her to her hypocritically, "cousin, this is my colleague."

"Hello, my name is Chen Chen."

My cousin-in-law smiled, "

Since you're here, don't be polite, come in and sit down. "

Chen Chen saw that the child was quite cute, and he was ready to give it a hug.

Xu Mo pulled him and said, "You are clumsy, so stop holding the child. It will fall when the time comes."

Chen Chen originally wanted to refute. He himself had a little nephew who was always held by him. Why was he so clumsy that he couldn't even hold a child?

Moreover, this child looks to be three or four years old, which is not too young.

But Chen Chen also saw Xu Mo's eyes and said with a smile, "Well, I really haven't held the child much, and it made him cry. I don't know what to do."

After the cousin went in with the baby in his arms, Chen Chen asked, "Why didn't you let me hold the baby just now? Are you really worried that I'll drop the baby? Don't you know that I have a little nephew? ?Isn’t it still the one I held when we met in the mall last time?”

Xu Mo lowered his voice and said, "Do you really think that all children are the same as your nephew? This child is not someone you can hug casually. If you hug him, it won't just scratch a few marks on your face. I have to leave a tooth mark on your hand.”

"Is it so scary?"

"I've been bitten several times before. You see, I can't go there now, and I can cry very much."

Within a few minutes, the sharp crackling sound of a child could be heard in the house.

Chen Chen was a little glad that he didn't go there just now.

After the two of them entered, Xu Mo glanced at his grandma.

After all, he was standing in front of him, even if he wanted to pretend he couldn't see it.

"Grandma." Xu Mo greeted.

The old lady didn't even look at her, turned around and left.

Xu

There was nothing unexpected about Mo, but Chen Chen was a little stupid.

"Is this your grandma?"

"Ah."

Chen Chen also heard a few words from him, saying that he was having trouble during the Chinese New Year.

But who as an elder would argue with a junior like this? Usually the junior would take the initiative to speak, but he still behaves like this.

"I told you to be mentally prepared. No matter why they do it, you just keep your head down eating the food and smile perfunctorily."

"It seems you're quite good at it."

"I've been here like this for so many years, so I've already gotten used to it."

Xu Mo's tone was light, and no emotion could be heard. It looked like he was used to it.

But Chen Chen felt a little sad when he heard it. We were all a family, so it would be really suffocating to spend time together like this.

Chen Chen's grandparents have loved him since he was a child. His grandparents are not patriarchal. On the contrary, they love his sister more. He was quite naughty when he was a child, and his sister is very good. His parents and elders also love the well-behaved one more.

In other words, Chen Chen has grown up in the shadow of his sister since he was a child.

Maybe it's because his sister is so outstanding that his family always compares him with his sister, but the main reason is that he is thick-skinned. Every time he is compared with others and praises his sister, Chen Chen feels an inexplicable sense of pride. , I feel that the reason why he is so powerful is because he is his sister, and it would definitely not be possible if it were someone else's sister.

So later his parents discovered that this trick didn't work for him at all, so they rarely mentioned it to stimulate him anymore.

When the cousin saw Xu Mo, he came over to care about him, asked her if she was going back in the afternoon, and asked her

They drove safely in the afternoon.

At the dinner table, the uncle actually wanted to pour wine for Chen Chen.

Xu Mo quickly stopped him, "Uncle, he can't drink. He has to drive in the afternoon. We will go back to work soon. We must go back this afternoon."

"Let's leave later. If you drink too much, you might as well take a nap and leave when you wake up."

Xu's mother also said quickly, "That's not safe. You can't drink while driving. It takes more than six hours to drive from here to Nancheng. How can you drink? You can't touch a drop of alcohol."

The uncle sat down empathetically.

Although everyone knows that they are just colleagues.

But uncle and aunt also like to inquire.

Even at the dinner table, she kept asking about Chen Chen's job and other salary benefits. Sister, how many people in the family have bought a house in Nancheng? Did you buy a car or something?

Chen Chen answered everything he asked and his attitude was very upright.

However, many of her words were vague both inside and outside. They were not as straightforward as when her parents asked at Xu Mo's house.

After all, being asked now is completely different from being asked before.

Previously it was the father-in-law and mother-in-law who were asking about the future son-in-law, but here it is pure gossip.

Grandpa sitting at the top said.

"Mr. Chen, let me ask you something."

"You say."

Xu Mo lowered his eyes and his face became increasingly ugly.

"My daughter has a little nephew who hit someone while driving drunk some time ago. You are also a lawyer. I want to ask if there is anything you can do to solve this matter."

Chen Chen glanced at Xu Mo.

The old man was about to speak again, "I am the granddaughter of an official. Now that I have gone out to work and make money, I no longer recognize us relatives."

"Dad, what did you say?

Well, Mo Mo already made it very clear that day. "Father Xu quickly interrupted.

"What did she say clearly? Hasn't she been resenting me and her grandma all these years? Didn't she want to overturn the dining table that day? Does she take me as a grandfather seriously?"

If it were normal times, Xu Mo would definitely get up and leave directly.

But now Chen Chen is sitting next to her.

Xu Mo originally didn't want him to know about her family, but she didn't expect that several days had passed and her own grandfather was still not ready to let her go.

Chen Chen's face also darkened a bit.

"This matter is quite simple to resolve. What does the owner of the car that was hit have to ask for? If this matter can be resolved privately, it is best to resolve it privately. Drunk driving is not covered by insurance. Generally, as long as the compensation is enough, this Basically, there is no problem with the matter. If we can't reach an agreement, we will go through the legal process, and we will inevitably have to go in and squat for a while."

The old man continued to ask, "You lawyers also know some people. Can't this matter be solved directly?"

Chen Chen finally understood what they meant.

"How can there be a free lunch in this world? Even if you want to find a relationship, you have to spend money, and we are just lawyers, who can we know? Besides, Xu Mo and I have only been in the firm for a year, and we ourselves It’s already pretty good if we don’t get into trouble. How can we possibly solve this matter? Not to mention that we don’t have the connections. The above are investigating very closely in all aspects. If we are held accountable, we may be finished for the rest of our lives.”

Chen Chen put down his chopsticks, "You are Xu Mo's relative. I think you should think more about your granddaughter. Maybe in the eyes of others,

This matter can be solved as long as he says a few words and establishes a relationship, but why don't you think about where her relationship comes from? She has only been in school for a long time. Even if she really has such a relationship, she can easily let others use her and then take turns. How can you speak when things get serious? I don't know what you are thinking, but you are obviously your own family, shouldn't you protect your own family? Why are you starting to blame Xu Mo? "

After Chen Chen finished speaking, he smiled again, "If grandpa is really worried about this matter, I can recommend a gold medal lawyer in our law firm. He is basically guaranteed to win the case, but the consulting fee is very high. You have to do it Be mentally prepared.”

Quiet with you at the dinner table.

Xu Mo couldn't help but glance at Chen Chen. I never expected him to say these words.

The topic has reached this point, and I basically have no intention of continuing to eat.

The uncle later calmed down the atmosphere in time and found other topics.

Xu Mo stuffed a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth and couldn't swallow it anymore.

Chen Chen looked down at her, "Are you full?"

Xu Mo nodded, "How about we pack up our things and leave early?"

Xu's mother also heard these words, "If we go on the road now, we can arrive almost at night. It gets dark quickly in winter. If you two are full, go back first. I will go back and pack your things."

Xu Mo nodded.

The eldest aunt said again, "Are you full after just eating this little food?"

"Well, Auntie, we'll leave first after we've eaten. I'd like to ask you to entertain me today."

Xu Mo knew that there would never be a next time.

Xu's mother didn't show any good looks, got up and left.

Then Xu's father found

Excuses left.

At this time, only the eldest aunt's family and grandparents were left.

"Momo is really supported by people now, and he has the confidence to speak." The eldest aunt suddenly said something strange and angrily.

"Mom, outsiders know what to say and what not to say, so why are you still turning your elbows outward? You clearly promised that this meal was for you to practice silently, but what happened? Everyone is upset. I see You did it on purpose." My cousin said these words in a cold voice.

"Did I do it on purpose? Did I cook such a big table of food on purpose? Did I raise you like this just to make you scold me?" The eldest aunt slapped the table and stood up.

"Every one of you should ask yourself, touch your own conscience, and ask whether you have been worthy of being silent all these years? What I am most fortunate about is that I was born a boy." After saying these words, my cousin turned around and left.
