i gave myself away

"My brother said that?" After Xie Jincheng learned about Xie Zhanhong's incident, he was not surprised or surprised at all, calm as if he had nothing to do with him, "Interesting."

Shi Mo was on the phone with his mobile phone between his shoulders, holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, and scooped up the uncooked noodles in the pot at a constant speed: "Hey, don't pretend to be cool, at least give me some advice."

"Zhanhong's opinion is good," Xie Jincheng chuckled softly, "You can try."

Shi Mo turned off the fire on the stove, and slowly put the noodles into the bowl: "The opponent is your father. You are so straightforward, don't you feel reluctant?"

"No one can win all his life. Failure is sometimes a sober poison."

"That's too reasonable," Shi Mo praised Xie Jincheng in his heart, "Then the question is coming, why don't you do it?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and Shi Mo almost thought that Xie Jincheng was angry. It seemed like a century had passed before a hollow voice sounded on the other end: "My father and I have a record of 20 wins and 7 losses, but nothing has changed. .”

"Ah... I'm sorry." Shi Mo gripped the phone tightly and ended the call in silence.

20 wins and 7 losses, what a tragic and overwhelming result, but Xie Jincheng is still regarded as a waste by his father, and is still not taken seriously. Even if the parents and children are like this, let alone him as an outsider?Should he still do it, and what is the point of doing it?

Contradictions are like entangled threads, the more you try to untangle them, the tighter they become. Shi Mo poured miscellaneous sauce into the noodles without knowing it, and poured more and more without knowing it. The bowl of noodles was covered in mountains of sauce.

"Oh, I'm going, salt me ​​to death!" Shi Mo subconsciously took a sip, so salty that tears were about to come out, he hurried to pour a glass of cold water, drank it upside down, and poured the extra sauce into another cup with distress. In the bowl, I plan to have another meal of mixed sauce noodles at night, so as not to waste it.

Unexpectedly, a phone call came suddenly, and his noodle dinner with mixed sauce was ruined.

"Son, do you have time tonight?"

His father's joyful voice came from the microphone, and Shi Mo couldn't help asking curiously: "Yes, Dad, what kind of happy event happened to you, so happy?"

"Happy event, great happy event!" Father laughed loudly, "You come to the restaurant on xx Street, xx Road at 7 o'clock in the evening, and I will tell you what happy event it is."

So, at 7 o'clock in the evening, Shi Mo sat in the booth of the restaurant with his face covered.

The person in front of him was not his father, but Li Jiaru who also looked helpless. After asking, he found out that both of them were put together by their respective fathers.

"My dad lied to me that he was back and invited me to dinner."

"My dad said there is a big happy event, tell me tonight."

The two spoke at the same time, they were taken aback by each other, and couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect us to be in the same disease." Li Jiaru put his hand on his lips and smiled softly, "Dad and the others are really good."

Shi Mo rubbed his forehead in pain, everyone knew what his father's so-called happy event was. A blind date, a relationship, marriage and childbirth all in one, was simply a great happy event in life.He doesn't have any feelings for Li Jiaru, and he won't have any feelings. Dad is simply unnecessary.

"Yeah, Dad is too self-assertive." Shi Mo was very helpless, "I didn't expect this to happen."

"Since you're all here, you haven't had dinner yet, let's eat together. I'm treating you today."

Shi Mo waved his hand and declined politely: "Don't, don't, I'll treat you, I'll treat you, and I'll lose my life if you let a girl treat you. Here's the menu, hurry up and order your favorite dishes."

"Thank you." Li Jiaru smiled knowingly, with a faint dimple on her lips.Through a menu, she secretly glanced at Shi Mo who was pouring water for her. He was handsome, cheerful, and considerate. If he didn't miss him, then he was really someone worthy of entrustment.

After a meal, Li Jiaru had a deeper understanding of Shi Mo. She observed Shi Mo carefully and could tell Shi Mo's preferences from the details, for example, he likes to bite chopsticks, likes to dip in soy sauce, likes... She doesn't know Why do I watch so carefully, I will shift my eyes to Shi Mo by accident, and then I can't bear to look away.

After returning home, Li Jiaru's father called and asked her with a cheerful smile, "Girl, how did we meet today?"

Li Jiaru's cheeks flushed, and the girl's feelings of spring could not be stopped: "He is very good, not bad."

"There is hope, there is hope," her father heard her daughter's thoughts, and said happily, "It's good to be a nice person. I have also asked about it. He is an honest person with no bad habits. When he was rich, he was not a childish person, and he did not behave wickedly. It's a good character."

Li Jiaru smiled shyly, not knowing where her heart went.

Her father encouraged her: "Contact him more and cultivate relationships."

"Dad," Li Jiaru said resentfully, "How could I take the initiative to ask someone out?"

"Yes, yes, see that I forgot about it," her father slapped his forehead, "I'll give you a good chance to get in touch with him more."

"Huh? Excuse me, what did you say?" When Shi Mo received a call from Li Jiaru, he was in a daze.

Li Jiaru smiled lightly: "Our branch company has a first-instance case, and I want to ask you to represent it. Is it convenient for you?"

"It's convenient, of course it's convenient!" Shi Mo was so happy that his teeth almost fell out of laughter. The cases of Dongxin Asset Management Company are all big ones, and the amount of the bid is definitely not low, which means that a large amount of legal fees is about to come.

"Then how about we take some time to talk about the case in person?"

"No problem, you decide the time, I have free time."

Li Jiaru thought about it for a while, and set a time: "How about tomorrow night, about seven o'clock."

Shi Mo was taken aback, Xie Jincheng came back from a business trip at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, although Xie Jincheng didn't ask, but he still wanted to go to the airport to pick him up in person, so there was no time to cook for Xie Jincheng again and again.

"Sorry, it may not be convenient at seven o'clock tomorrow night, is it convenient for you at other times?"

"That's it," Li Jiaru hesitated, "I'm going on a business trip at noon the day after tomorrow, and I won't be back until a week. This case has just been filed, and we want to apply for property preservation as soon as possible. We originally entrusted another lawyer to handle it, but that lawyer temporarily went on a business trip for a week. We canceled the entrustment if we can't delay, if it is convenient for you, can you squeeze some time? To be honest, I don't want you to miss this case. "

Property preservation refers to the compulsory measures taken by the court to restrict the disposition of the parties to the property of the parties or the object of dispute in order to ensure the execution of effective judgments in the future or to avoid property losses.After the lawsuit, if you want to apply for property preservation, it should be as soon as possible, so as to prevent the other party from maliciously transferring property to avoid debt after learning of the lawsuit.

Shi Mo understood the urgency of property preservation. He roughly estimated the time, and seven o'clock might be too late: "Is eight o'clock in the evening okay? I'm afraid I won't be able to make it by seven o'clock. If you are hungry, you can order something first, and you don't have to wait." I."

"Yes, then it's settled. Let's meet in the coffee shop for the first time. The environment there is good."

"No problem, you decide."

At 02:30 the next afternoon, Shi Mo hummed a little song and changed into a set of underwear given to him by Xie Jincheng. He went out and got into a taxi to pick up Xie Jincheng at the airport.

When he arrived at the airport, he learned that Xie Jincheng's plane was an hour late and would arrive at six o'clock, Shi Mo's joyful mood was instantly shattered to pieces.He arrived at six o'clock, and it was at least 06:30 when he left the airport, and it would be 07:30 when he took a taxi home. He didn't have time to cook, so he had to rush to see Li Jiaru.

This time is simply not enough.Shi Mo scratched his head in pain, wishing to stop his own time, and then start time after finishing work on one end, to work on the other end.

Now there are only two options before him, one is to turn around and go home, pretending that he did not come to pick up the plane, or the other is to send Xie Jincheng home after picking up the plane, let him settle the dinner by himself, and then go to the appointment.

Shi Mo thought about it seriously for 10 minutes and decided to choose the second option.As for why, he just wanted to see if Xie Jincheng had put on weight for the first time, and just laughed at Xie Jincheng. He definitely didn't want to see Xie Jincheng, absolutely not.

Boring at the airport for more than an hour, Shi Mo was drowsy and drowsy. He finally heard the radio saying that the plane was arriving. He was refreshed and ran to the exit to wait. He called Xie Jincheng immediately, wanting to confirm position.Unexpectedly, Xie Jincheng's mobile phone was turned off, and he waited at the exit for more than ten minutes without seeing anyone. The anxious waiting made him very uneasy.

Did Xie Jincheng miss him, did his phone run out of battery, did he change his flight to another flight?Countless questions popped up from the bottom of my heart, and as strange figures passed in front of me, but there were no familiar people, Shi Mo felt as if he had been soaked in cold water, and his body became cold.

Time is like subtracting people who take out the exit. At the beginning, dozens of people flocked out. The people who picked up the plane and those who came out greeted each other happily. The number of people was reduced to a few scattered people, and the number of people picking up the plane was gradually thinning out. The bustle was replaced by anxious waiting, and then continued to decrease. When he came out, he glanced at Shi Mo who was waiting alone, and opened his arms to embrace the relatives standing beside Shi Mo.

The last person left, Shi Mo was like an abandoned toy, standing there alone, the cold wind coming from nowhere came from all directions, soaking his skin with chills.

Xie Jincheng's phone is still off, the next flight is about to arrive, and he hasn't come out yet.It was [-]:[-], and he waited for nearly half an hour.

His heart was so cold that he didn't have much time to wait any longer. He only blamed him for not making an agreement with Xie Jincheng in advance, and he couldn't blame others.

Silently, he put his mobile phone into his trouser pocket, rubbed his nose that was reddened by the wind, and was about to leave when suddenly a strong and unnegligible breath broke into his nose, unblocking the blocked nasal cavity instantly, and at the same time A fiery hug locked him tightly and tightly, with strong arms around his waist, and a familiar voice rang close to his ears.

"Miss me?"
