Chu Mo was lying on the sofa holding the phone, tapping his fingers on the date display on the screen.

20 number.

Shen Muyuan has been away for half a month.

Half a month, fifteen days, no phone call or message.Chu Mo felt a little lost, but it was more of a deepening longing.For Shen Muyuan, he missed him day by day. There were several times when he thought it was impossible, he had already opened Shen Muyuan's address book with his fingers. With just one click, the call could be dialed out, but in the end he still didn't really make a call.

He promised Jiang Hui and Shen Muyuan that he would not take the initiative to contact him before he came back, and he suspected that even if he really made this call, he would not be able to get through.In the past, when Shen Muyuan didn't have any news, he just thought it was because he was busy with work, but when he knew that even Lin Siyuan couldn't contact him, he knew that things would not be so simple.

In the dead of night, he would also wonder whether Shen Muyuan's current situation is as passive as he is.What is he facing at this moment?

Outside, the wind is clear and the moon is bright, with neon lights flickering.

And in England, thousands of miles away, Shen Muyuan just returned to London from a remote country with poor signal 5 minutes ago.After getting off the train, the first thing Shen Muyuan did was to ask the secretary for his phone back.Because this cooperation project involved a lot of precision instruments, he had to go frequently to places where metal and electronic equipment could not be carried, so he simply handed over the mobile phone to the secretary for temporary management.

The secretary did not return the phone immediately, but reminded with a businesslike face: "Boss, Olaer's technical director invited you to have dinner at Sketch at one o'clock in the afternoon. If you don't hurry there, you may be late."

Shen Muyuan closed his eyes and exhaled: "Forget it, go prepare the car."

After finally having dinner with Olaer's technical director, Shen Muyuan asked the secretary for a mobile phone again. This time the secretary didn't hesitate, and immediately took it out of the bag and handed it back to Shen Muyuan.

Shen Muyuan unlocked the screen lock of his mobile phone, and opened WeChat directly. The profile picture of Chu Mo was on the top. He was considering whether to send a message or make a video call, when the secretary reminded him: "Boss, it's late at night in China, Miss Chu He must have fallen asleep."

Shen Muyuan's fingers froze over the video call for five seconds, finally locked the screen, handed it back to the secretary, and said indifferently: "Get ready, go to Milan tomorrow."

"Okay." The secretary took out her mobile phone to book air tickets and hotels, and contacted the person in charge over there.

Because of the scandal with Gu Xu, Chu Mo unexpectedly had an extra week of vacation. He was considering whether to take a short trip around, but something happened to him again.

He was obsessed with an online game those few days, and didn't pay much attention to the news on the Internet, so when Chen Duoduo appeared at his door with a pale face, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and asked jokingly: " Am I on the trending search again?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Duoduo nodded and looked at him with dull eyes. It took a full 5 minutes to find his voice, but because he was too emotional, his voice was still trembling: "Xiao Mo, you~ you are a man ?!"

Now it was Chu Mo's turn to turn pale: "How did you know? Who told you?"

Chen Duoduo fell to the ground and murmured, "It's true... After all these years, I haven't discovered anything!"

Chu Mo knelt down and supported Chen Duoduo's shoulder: "Duoduo, this matter is very complicated. I will explain it to you later. Tell me first, how do you know that I am a man?"

Chen Duoduo covered her face in despair: "It's gone crazy on the Internet. The news was sent out this morning. The blogger is a marketing account. He should just collect money to post. As for who ordered it, I don't know, but it should be right. Someone you know very well, otherwise it would be impossible to know this secret."

Chu Mo hurriedly took out his mobile phone and surfed the Internet. As expected, there was another commotion on the Internet. The battle was bigger than ever, but he had no time to take care of it. He quickly found the Weibo and found that the blogger actually posted a Weibo article detailing It tells the ins and outs of his disguise as a woman, and the frightening thing is that it is exactly the same as the truth, as if he had personally experienced the incident.And in order to increase the authenticity of his article, the blogger also posted a chat record with the doctor who delivered Fu Yue in the article, Director Li of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Adelson Hospital. In the record, Director Li admitted that the child was born When Chumo was a boy, he helped to hide it for the sake of his good friend, Chumo's mother, Fu Yue, and pretended to be a daughter.

Chu Mo didn't know whether the Dr. Li in the record was the real Dr. Li, but whether it was true or not, it was true.

Chu Mo turned off the article and sighed weakly. He didn't dare to read the comments of netizens, and he knew that it would not be a good thing.He turned off his phone and looked at Chen Duoduo.Both of them looked ugly, looking at each other speechlessly.After a while, Chu Mo asked, "What should we do now?"

Chen Duoduo is also a bit confused now. Although she claims to have sufficient experience and can handle any crisis public relations, she never thought that one day her artist would overturn the issue of gender.Counting decades of history in the entertainment industry, there has never been an artist who disguised himself as a woman and stayed in the entertainment industry for many years, not only filming but also falling in love with a man and getting engaged.

Chen Duoduo thumped the ground in grief and anger. To make matters worse, he had asked Chen Feng for help before he came, but Chen Feng just coldly told her "solve it by yourself", completely meaning to abandon them.She couldn't figure it out, and wondered whether it was Shen Muyuan's instruction or their own initiative.

"Well, does the big boss know about this?" Chen Duoduo asked carefully.

Chu Mo nodded generously and said, "He knew about it early on."

I knew it early in the morning, and I still insisted on being with him...

For a moment, Chen Duoduo didn't know whether to be happy or lamented.

"I called the company just now, and they said that we should settle this matter by ourselves..." After Chen Duoduo finished speaking, he watched Chu Mo's expression nervously.

Chu Mo just hummed lightly, as if he had already guessed it.

Chen Duoduo suddenly thought of the breakup statement sent by Shen some time ago, and with years of experience in watching dramas and novels, she immediately understood what was going on, and asked, "Do the parents of the big boss also know about this?" Is something wrong?"

"A few days earlier than you," Chu Mo smiled at Chen Duoduo, still in a calm mood, "Duoduo, you don't have to worry about this matter, and you don't need anyone to come forward."

"Do you care?" Chen Duoduo didn't think it was a good idea.

But Chu Mo insisted, raised his head and said seriously: "Duo Duo, concentrate on leading that newcomer in the future, you have worked hard with me in the past few years, and everyone in the team, you can settle their wages for them tomorrow, and take part of it from me by the way Come out and share it with everyone as a bonus. In addition, if you have a suitable person, you can take it away, and the familiar person will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Xiao Mo, you want to quit the circle?"

"It doesn't matter whether I quit or not in this situation." Chu Mo smiled, "And even if there is no such thing, it will be a matter of time before I quit the circle."

"Why? You obviously like acting so much." Chen Duoduo's eyes were red, and the relationship for many years was not affected by Chu Mo's sudden gender change. When Chu Mo said that he would quit the circle, he was full of reluctance.

Chu Mo leaned on the sofa, looked out of the window, and said sadly: "The Chu Mo who likes to act is no longer here."

Chen Duoduo finally couldn't hold back her tears. Chu Mo touched her head, and her nose was sore from being infected.

Chen Duoduo cried all afternoon in Chumo's apartment, until her eyes were swollen from crying. Before leaving, she asked again: "Do you really care?"

Chu Mo shook his head resolutely: "That's it." In fact, at this moment, he already has the will to control but is powerless.

After Chen Duoduo left, Chu Mo returned to the sofa, took out his phone again, and clicked on Weibo.Whether it's his homepage or hot search list, the most seen is his name.

Looking through the hot search list, Chu Mo found that almost half of them were related to him, and those related to him were inevitably pulled out to experience a hot search one-day tour.Among the various topics, he saw the words "the Shen Group issued another statement" at a glance.After clicking on it, I found that the official account of the Shen Group issued an urgent statement half an hour ago. The statement said that neither Shen nor Shen Muyuan and his family knew about Chu Mo's disguise as a woman for many years. I was also shocked and angry about this, and at the end of the article, I strongly condemned Chu Jiang's despicable means of starting a family, and said that I would pursue it to the end.

With a few words, he picked himself up clean, and became a victim in a flash.After reading it, Chu Mo had to admire Shen's PR.Compared with the public relations of the Chu family who have not said a word so far, perhaps Chu Jiang Kaizheng is in a state of anxiety.

Chu Mo felt that he was the most innocent one, but at this moment he couldn't help feeling guilty.However, this sense of guilt disappeared in an instant when he hurried back to Chu's house and saw Fu Yue who was crying so hard with a bright palm print on her face.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Chu Mo suddenly received a call from Fu Yue.When he first left Chu's house, he was still worried that Chu Jiang would get angry at Fu Yue in the meeting, but he gradually felt relieved after knowing that even on the first night, Chu Jiang only scolded Fu Yue severely and did not do anything.But this time, as soon as he connected, the first thing he heard was Chu Jiangkai's furious abuse and a very clear applause. Chu Mo's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly called out to his mother.But Fu Yue didn't answer his words, and started sobbing after the initial cry of pain.After that, the sound of cups falling to the ground was heard one after another. Chu Mo was worried that the furious Chu Jiang would hurt Fu Yue in a meeting. Before he could think about it, he picked up the car keys and ran out of the house.Arriving at Chu's house as quickly as possible, I saw Fu Yue sitting on the ground, her hair was tousled, and her clothes were wrinkled. The most conspicuous thing was the deep and heavy palm print on her face, and her knees. Mottled blood.Fu Yue was sitting in a pile of broken glass and crying.

The furious Chu Jiangkai stood in front of her, cursing all kinds of nasty words, getting more and more excited as he spoke, he even picked up the leather whip from the sofa, and was about to hit her with a wave of his hand.

"Mom!" Chu Mo raised his heart, rushed over quickly, turned his back to Chu Jiang, put Fu Yue into his arms, and took the whip.

"Hiss—" Chu Mo couldn't help gasping as his back was burning.

"Xiao Mo!" Fu Yue finally stopped crying, and nervously touched Chu Mo's back, "Does it hurt? Show mom." The worry about Chu Mo's injury made her forget the fear of Chu Jiangkai .

Chu Mo gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "I'm fine." He could feel that there should be no skin and flesh on his back, but it must be swollen.

Chu Jiangkai stopped suddenly, panted heavily while holding the whip, and asked in a rough voice, "Why are you here? Who told you to come? Get out!"

Chu Mo helped Fu Yue to sit on the sofa behind him, then turned to face Chu Jiangkai, looked at him coldly: "If I don't come, you will beat my mother to death, do you think I should come? "

Chu Jiang made a joke, and with a dark face for a long time, he finally managed to say: "He is my wife, I can beat him however I want, even if you are a son, I don't care!"

Chu Mo did not back down, and said in a deep voice, "Don't you know that domestic violence violates the law? Believe it or not, I will call the police now, and there will be another scandal in the Chu family tomorrow."

"You!" Chu Jiangkai was completely irritated by him, "You have the nerve to say, if it weren't for you bastard, I wouldn't have fallen into this situation, all of this is the fault of you two!" I am now You are all to blame for killing you! "After speaking, he took a deep breath and fell down on the sofa.

It was only then that Chu Mo noticed the smell of alcohol that came to Chu Jiangkai's face when he was speaking. It turned out that he was drunk. No wonder he beat Fu Yue to death even after decades of relationship between husband and wife.

Chu Jiangkai was so drunk that he couldn't speak clearly. He waved away a whole set of purple sand tea sets worth tens of thousands on the table, and said angrily, "Get out! Get out of here, both of you! I don't have you in the Chu family!" This kind of thing that eats inside and out! Help outsiders start a family company, get out of here!"

Chu Mo moved half a step to the left, avoiding the splashing debris, and finally took a look at Chu Jiang, helped Fu Yue and left without hesitation.

This time, perhaps Fu Yue was really disappointed with her husband, and she didn't refuse, she wept silently and followed her son to leave the home where she had lived for more than ten years.

On the way back to the apartment, Chu Mo asked Fu Yue: "Didn't you be fine a few days ago? What's going on today?"

Fu Yue guessed that there was nothing to cry, so she stopped crying. She wiped her tears and answered his words in a choked voice: "Your father's company has had several gaps in its capital chain since last year, and it has been remedied throughout the year. A month ago, a venture capital company invested a lot of money to make up for the gap, but they withdrew their capital because of the revelation of your disguise as a woman. Moreover, the Shen family not only wanted to break off the engagement, but also terminated the relationship with Chu. The cooperation of the family, but the main business of the Chu family this year is related to the Shen family, and now the whole project has collapsed after quitting, and your father has been trying to remedy it, but nothing works."

In other words, the Chu family was already in dire straits and faced the risk of bankruptcy at any time.

But because of what Chu Jiangkai did to him, Chu Mo didn't sympathize with him.

After Fu Yue finished speaking, she asked Chu Mo again: "Xiao Mo, where are we going now?"

Chu Mo said, "Go back to where I live first."

"..." Fu Yue asked hesitantly, "Is it Mu Yuan's apartment?"

"No, it's the apartment that the company rented to me, and I lived there during this time."

"How are you and Mu Yuan doing?"

"It's good," Chu Mo said calmly, "He went on a business trip to Europe recently, so we haven't had much contact."

Just as I was talking about this, Chen Duoduo called again. As soon as Chu Mo got through, the other party asked anxiously, "Xiao Mo, where are you now?"

"Outside, what's wrong?"

"Don't go home during this time! The address of your apartment has been leaked maliciously, and now there are reporters ambushing outside the building!"

"..." Chu Mo only felt a sharp pain in his temple, "I have nowhere to go if I don't go home, should I stay in a hotel?"

"Of course not!" Chen Duoduo yelled, "You are stupid, you dare to go to the hotel even if you can't go home!"

"I'm joking. I'll think about where to hide from the limelight."

Chen Duoduo suggested: "Why don't you stay with the big boss for a few days first? The security is tight there, and the paparazzi can't follow in."

Chu Mo didn't make a sound, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "Let me think about it again, I really can't go out for a vacation. By the way, the chocolate is still in the apartment. You have time to go there and bring it to your place first." How many days?"

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow morning."

Chu Mo thought about all the places to hide in his mind, and finally decided to ask Gu Xu for help.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Chu Mo appeared at the door of Gu Xu's apartment.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Chu Mo took off his mask and smiled reluctantly at Gu Xu.

"Why are you being so polite with me, come in first." Gu Xu greeted Fu Yue again, seeing the injuries on his face and feet, he didn't ask further.

"Auntie should be tired so late, go to rest first, and talk about things tomorrow."

Gu Xu's apartment has only two bedrooms. He gave the master bedroom to Fu Yue and the guest room to Chu Mo.

"What about you?" Chu Mo asked.

"I still have a night show in the second half of the night, and I have to rush back to the theater later, so I won't sleep at home."

Only then did Chu Mo dispel the guilt in his heart: "Gu Xu, thank you very much."

Gu Xu waved his hand: "We are friends, you can't say thank you, you are tired, go to sleep."

"I'm fine," Chu Mo asked him, "What time is your play?"

"At three o'clock, the assistant will pick me up at one o'clock, and there are still one or two hours."

"Then have a drink with me." After finishing speaking, he remembered that he still had to film, and immediately changed his words, "You can drink as well."

Gu Xu agreed, and handed him a can of beer, and himself a can of orange soda.

Chu Mo took a sip from Griphook, turned to him and asked, "Do you have anything to ask?"

Gu Xu is also very frank: "Actually, I have a lot of questions in my heart, but I am too embarrassed to ask them. I don't want to make things difficult for you."

Chu Mo smiled nonchalantly: "There is no way to get stuck now, just ask."

Gu Xu really asked: "Were you very nervous when you found out that I was gay?"

Chu Mo was taken aback, completely unaware that this issue was what he was most concerned about. He laughed and said, "Well, I'm very nervous, and I even thought about not getting in touch with you forever."

Gu Xu laughed loudly: "If I had known that you were a man earlier, I would have attacked you long ago."

"Hey, don't accept it so quickly, okay?" Chu Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't you find it awkward that your good friend suddenly changed from a woman to a man?"

"It's okay, maybe it's because I got used to seeing you in men's clothes when I was filming. For a while, I really regarded you as a man. The method is exactly the same as that of a man, and only now do I know that he is actually playing the role."

Chu Mo still misses it very much when he thinks about it now: "The half a year when I was acting in men's clothing was my happiest day."

Gu Xu turned around and finally got to the point: "Is everything that marketing account said true?"

"Well, it's all true."

It took Gu Xu a long time to sigh: "It's not easy for you."

"So I'm actually very happy now that I can finally be myself."

"Congratulations."

The two clinked glasses.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, the assistant came to pick up Gu Xu.Gu Xu packed up the empty bottles and said to Chu Mo, "I'll be staying on the set for a month, so you and auntie can live here with peace of mind, and call me if you need something. Don't go out now, what do you want to buy with my driver?" Say, let him buy it for you."

"Okay." Chu Mo stopped him, "Can you not tell Lin Siyuan about my stay here?"

Gu Xu didn't ask the reason, and readily agreed.

After Gu Xu left, Chu Mo was still not sleepy, and even drank more and more sober.The phone was placed on the table, and Shen Muyuan's address book was on the screen.He squatted on the dining chair and counted the time difference between London and Jiangcheng with his fingers. After counting back and forth three times, he pressed the dial button.

The beeping dial tone sounded regularly, and Chu Mo was inexplicably nervous.

The beep went on for five seconds.

ten seconds.

15 seconds.

……

There is no ringtone on the silent mobile phone, and on the lit screen, a word "Mo" is still beating. It is obviously a very common Chinese character, but it makes people feel inexplicably intimate.

In the meeting room separated by a door, Shen Muyuan was still discussing project details with his partners. The secretary held the silently beating mobile phone tightly in his hand, looked at Shen Muyuan in the room through the glass door, and tapped his finger on the red button , Hang up the call that lasted more than 30 seconds.

The secretary waited quietly for a few minutes to make sure there was no further call, clicked on the call history, and deleted the call history of the call just now.

"I'm sorry, the number you dialed is currently on the line, please call again later." A cold and emotionless female voice rang in his ear, Chu Mo sighed, put down the phone, and took another sip of wine sadly.

"I'm busy," Chu Mo comforted himself, but he was still a little disappointed.

"Shen Muyuan, it's time for you to come out to rescue the prince in trouble, why don't you come out yet."

In the dead of night, lost whispers and sighs gradually sounded.
