In the corridor on the second floor, Fang Zhixu stepped into the room and immediately stopped, turned around and looked at the person behind him, "What do you want?"
Charlie, who was about to walk into the room, looked a little confused and said, "Axu, I'm here to bring you dessert."
After saying that, he pushed the exquisite gift box forward. Fang Zhixu glanced at it from the corner of his eye and said expressionlessly: "I only eat what the chef at home makes."
"Axu, this..."
"Don't enter my house without my permission."
Charlie awkwardly put the gift box behind her back, "Okay, since you don't like it, I won't give it to you in the future."
Seeing that the door in front of her was about to close, she quickly reached out to stop her, "Axu, what about Pat's endorsement..."
"You don't have to worry."
boom!
The heavy wooden door just closed in front of my eyes, and the hand holding the gift box trembled slightly.
Even if Fang Zhixu doesn't want to see her now, she doesn't believe that long-term love can't influence him!
Half an hour later, Gu Mo slowly walked out of his room, having already thought about the possible scenarios he might encounter in advance.
However, apart from the dog, the only thing left in the living room was the smell of food.
I looked around uncertainly, but there was no one there.
Fang Zhixu raised his eyes and asked, "Why are you still standing there?"
"oh."
Guessing that Charlie was probably gone, he felt inexplicably good and sat down obediently.
This was the first time she and Fang Zhixu had spoken face to face since their last quarrel, and her sober mind once again reminded her to control her emotions!
The butler soon came up with a jar of casserole.
Gu Mo's eyes widened instantly. It couldn't be that thing again, could it? !
"Madam, this is Fang..."
"cough."
The butler immediately changed his mind and said, "The kitchen specially stewed pigeon soup for you. Please try it. You didn't like chicken soup before, so I changed it."
After saying that, he opened the lid of the casserole, and a strong fragrance penetrated Gu Mo's nose.
I've been in poor health for the past few days, but when I smelled it, it didn't seem like poisonous chicken soup, and the glutton in my stomach suddenly boiled.
He took a spoon and poured some soup into his bowl, then drank it slowly.
It seems to taste pretty good?
The person sitting opposite had his head buried in his mouth and was eating slowly and carefully, but his peripheral vision was always paying attention to every move of the person opposite.
Gu Mo finished the bowl in three gulps, and then picked up the spoon to ladle soup for himself.
Then she saw a small thing lying in the spoon. With an idea, she changed her hand and put the thing into Fang Zhixu's bowl.
"Mr. Fang, please make up for it."
Followed by another spoonful.
Fang Zhixu looked down at the pair of pigeon kidneys and pigeon waist in the bowl, his expression twitching.
He slowly raised his head and said, "How are my kidneys? It seems..."
He deliberately prolonged his voice.
"You haven't experienced it yet."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Mo with interest.
Gu Mo's smile suddenly froze. This bitch really dared to say anything!
"Or do you want me to make up for it and make the first experience better?"
Gu Mo's face instantly turned red like an apple. She never expected that this dog could be so thick-skinned!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, I think you have a problem in that area just by looking at your face."
Fang Zhixu was not angered by these words. He put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hand, and touched the back of Gu Mo's hand with his fingertips.
"Can I do it? Do you want to try it now?"
There was a hint of playfulness in his tone, and his eyes were seductive. The moment his eyes met Gu Mo's, her heart beat like a drum and she retracted her hand reflexively.
After my mind was a little clearer, I finally spoke, "Try? Okay, you treat yourself as a trial product, and I'll return it if I'm not satisfied."
The playful smile continued to hang on his face, "I don't provide after-sales service. Some things are not something you can get just the second time you come here."
Gu Mo laughed sarcastically, "So I asked you to replenish your kidneys! Are you too weak? You can only do it once?"
After saying that, she looked him up and down with disgust, and finally pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Others do it several times a night, tsk tsk tsk..."
Shaking his head, he did not forget to instruct the butler next to him, "Uncle butler, remember to give Mr. Fang more to make up for. He is not good at such a young age. Be careful that no one wants him in the future."
The butler stood aside and walked away, neither should he. He could only smile awkwardly but politely.
It’s better not to get involved in the dispute between the boss and his wife!
Fang Zhixu's face was covered with black lines and he stared at the pigeon kidneys in the bowl for a long time.
Gu Mo snickered on the sidelines for a long time, and finally heard Fang Zhixu say tepidly: "Follow me to the old house tonight."
"Not going."
She refused directly without thinking. She had a normal relationship with everyone in the Fang family. They were getting divorced anyway and she didn't want to waste time on these useless social interactions.
Fang Zhixu raised his head and glanced at her, "Are you afraid of losing money?"
Lose money? What to pay for?
Gu Mo was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have made a bet with Fang Yuru at his old house a month ago? You want to cure that little red sandalwood? There have been so many things going on lately that I completely forgot that there is such a thing.
I don’t know what happened to Little Rosewood.
"Just go, how can I lose money!"
"It seems that you are still very confident, so prepare the money first."
"I know."
After drinking the last bowl of soup, Gu Mo touched her round belly and walked to the room. She was actually still a little nervous. Two hundred thousand, how could she have that kind of money now? People who are extremely poor should not bet impulsively!
At five or six in the evening, Gu Mo put on the dress that Fang Zhixu had sent to the room and got in the car.
This time it was a light green dress, which made her complexion even whiter. It was a rare moment of aesthetic beauty.
As soon as I arrived at the old house, I heard someone talking in the room, "Brother!! You are back!"
Fang Yuru rushed out of the gate of the old house and ran directly towards the car in the parking lot. She came up and hugged Fang Zhixu, called her "sister-in-law" perfunctorily, and then led her towards the gate.
This was an obvious sign that she didn't want to see Gu Mo, but she had already gotten used to it, so it didn't matter. She was originally here today because of the red sandalwood matter.
Entering the room, Chen Xue and the old lady were talking about something. They turned their heads and saw Fang Zhixu smiling softly, but when his eyes touched Gu Mo behind him, there was an unspeakable feeling.
"Momo, you're here. Just now I was telling mom about the golden sandalwood."
Gu Mo became interested when this was mentioned, "How is it? Has the red sandalwood been cured now?"
Fang Yuru immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Mo, "Sister-in-law, you are serious. I told you a long time ago that I asked someone to buy the golden sandalwood at a high price. You just don't believe it. It's fine now. You still have to pay for it if it dies." Lose money."
When Gu Mo heard about losing money, his heart trembled. It was impossible. How could he die?
"died?"
"right!"
The old lady stared at Gu Mo with a cold face, "I was fine the past few days. I thought I would survive, but I didn't expect that I died yesterday!"
"If I had known better, I would have hired a gardening expert. I just believed your nonsense because I had a brain problem."
The good atmosphere in the room was suddenly diluted and became extremely weird. Fang Zhixu stood aside and frowned slightly, but kept observing Gu Mo's reaction.
Gu Mo used to be a little afraid of the old lady, but if he was scolded like this before, he would have been at a loss.
However, now Gu Mo just stood there calmly, without any panic expression on his face.
"Sister-in-law, I just told you that this bet cannot be made. You just didn't listen at the time. If you don't have the ability, you better not pretend to understand."
Fang Yuru sneered and glanced at Chen Xue, who was standing far away. Chen Xue nodded and spoke in a considerate tone.
"Mom, Momo didn't mean it. She wanted to share the burden with you at that time. Although the plant is dead, her heart is good. How about forgetting the punishment mentioned last time?"
The old lady's face turned pale and her tone was cold, "I hate those people who compete for face in front of me the most. They don't know their own abilities and are ignorant."
"But Mom, the content of the last bet was too harsh, isn't this bad?"
Chen Xue said words of comfort in a warm voice, but there was a smile in the corner of her eyes as if she had succeeded. Over the years, she knows the old lady’s temper best, and she hates those who keep up appearances but don’t want to take responsibility in the end.
Only saying this would make the old lady's dislike of Gu Mo reach the extreme.
"Harsh? She admitted that bet herself!"
"But……"
"Okay, don't say anything. We are all adults and we must take responsibility for our words!"
After saying that, he looked at Gu Mo coldly, his intention to ask Gu Mo to pay was very obvious.
Fang Zhixu looked indifferent, sitting on the sofa and drinking tea leisurely. He was too lazy to get involved in women's affairs. As for money, he would naturally give it to Gu Mo as long as he asked.
But Gu Mo didn't seem to think so.
"Old madam, can I take a look at the appearance of the plant first? If my method is really wrong, I will definitely apologize and pay for it."
Unexpectedly, Gu Mo didn't quibble with a word, which surprised the old lady.
"Huh, it's in the corner of the backyard."
Gu Mo ran towards the yard without saying a word. Fang Yuru, Chen Xue and the old lady also followed.
"Sister-in-law, you won't want to save that dead plant, right?"
"Hey, Momo must be sad too, Yuru, please don't mention it again."
Fang Yuru pursed her lips, her eyes filled with gloating. This stupid woman is going to make a fool of herself in her old house today!
When Gu Mo arrived in the yard, he walked straight to the corner, picked up the dead plant and smelled it under his nose. Sure enough...
This plant has been tampered with, and a large amount of compound fertilizer has been added to it, causing the roots to be directly burned. Even a healthy plant will die, let alone a plant that is still sick.
But now the tricky thing is, who did this?
If it was the old lady who wanted to embarrass her, that would be trouble.
"Sister-in-law, do you see anything?"
"Momo, you have good intentions in this matter. Why don't you just pay some money? The old lady is not the kind of unreasonable person."
Fang Yuru and Chen Xue walked this way together, singing the double act, which made Gu Mo feel sick. They were indeed a mother and daughter.
She only thought for two seconds and came to the conclusion she wanted.
"I'm sorry, Auntie, it's not my responsibility to pay for this."
