"Ah, old lady, I may have a little more later..."
Before she finished speaking, the old lady naturally took Gu Mo's hand and pulled him outside, "Let's go, let's go, I, an old woman, haven't gone out for a long time."
"Is there something you can't put aside for a while?"
Then the old lady looked aggrieved and said, "There are fewer and fewer people around me, hey..."
Gu Mo was stunned for a moment. Who can refuse an old man who acts coquettishly in front of him?
Finally, I had to bite the bullet and agree.
"Okay, come along, old lady, and I will accompany you to eat."
"That's right. We haven't seen each other for so long, so you should spend more time with me."
While the old lady was pulling the person away, she turned back and winked at Fang Zhixu, as if to say: I've got the opportunity for you, take advantage of it yourself.
Fang Zhixu's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly called Gao Cheng, who had been on standby, "Quick, quick, quick! Clear the restaurant."
Gao Cheng quickly took out his mobile phone and walked aside.
"Hey, I booked a private room tonight, please..."
As soon as they got in the car, the old lady grabbed Gu Mo's hand with a smile on her face and held on, "Momo, just tell me what you like to eat, and we'll go eat."
"Ah, I'm not picky about food."
After saying that, the old lady took out an exquisite gift box from somewhere, "Come on, come on, this box is for you, old lady, I specially prepared a gift for you."
The corner of Gu Mo's mouth twitched. It was either a matter of not accepting it or not. What was in front of him was a limited edition bag worth two million. How could it be that the old lady bought it as a gift for him?
"Old madam, this thing is too expensive, so I will..."
"Hey, do you think the things my old lady gave you are not valuable?"
Gu Mo looked helpless. Isn't the two million dollar bag worth anything? She thought it was too expensive!
"I didn't mean that, I..."
"Then keep it. If you don't like it, sell it and use the money to play with it. Anyway, it's just my wife's wishes."
Gu Mo had no choice but to put the things away.
Somehow, everyone in this family seems to have changed their gender.
"By the way, old lady." Gu Mo, who was holding the bag, seemed to remember something, "You gave all your property to me, but I am not a member of the Fang family after all. I will return it all to you sometime."
When the old lady heard this, her face suddenly changed, "There is no reason to take back the water that was thrown out. I don't want it! You think that my old lady only has so much money. You are looking down on me."
"Don't give it to me, or I'll be angry!"
Gu Mo was a little at a loss. She wanted to return it, otherwise she would be easily criticized.
Fang Zhixu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said nothing, just stared closely at the rearview mirror above his head, looking at Gu Mo's delicate little face, his eyes filled with gentleness.
The car soon arrived at the reserved restaurant. The old lady got out of the car with the help of the two people. She just took a few steps and shouted, "Oh, I want to go to the toilet. Momo, you go up first."
Gu Mo glanced at the old lady a little worriedly, but couldn't say much and just warned, "Then be careful, I'll wait for you in the private room."
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the autumn wind blew Gu Mo's skirt with a hint of coolness. He shuddered slightly, and then he only smelled the familiar scent of sandalwood.
A windbreaker was draped over her shoulders, still retaining someone's warmth.
She raised her head in confusion and met Fang Zhixu's eyes, "Mr. Fang, I can't trouble you..."
She was about to take off her coat, but a pair of big dry hands covered her small hand without warning and pressed it down.
"I think you might be cold, so put on your clothes first."
Then he strode towards the restaurant. Gu Mo stood there in a daze, unable to recover.
Okay, it's indeed a bit cold. If you don't wear it, it's useless. It doesn't matter if you catch a cold.
When I entered the restaurant, I felt a little strange. I looked around, but there was no one there?
"Hello, Miss Gu, please come this way. Mr. Fang has reserved the entire restaurant for you for a candlelight dinner tonight, which will start later."
candlelight dinner? ! What are you trying to do? No wonder the lighting in this restaurant looks bad.
"It's not that..."
She turned around and was about to walk out.
"Momo."
A low-pressure voice came from behind, "I helped you catch Han Zhou, so it shouldn't be too much to have a meal with me, right?"
As he was about to step out of the restaurant, he suddenly froze. It was neither going to go nor going.
Let's go. It seems a bit heartless. If Fang Zhixu hadn't done this, he might not be able to catch anyone.
Don't leave, it won't be good for either of them if there are any bad scandals.
"Ms. Gu, Australian lobster and hamburger crab will be served soon. Please be patient."
Haha, this waiter knows how to keep people around. She has been craving these two things for a long time!
The foot that stepped out suddenly retracted. If you don't eat, you won't eat. Let's talk about it after eating! Anyway, the old lady is still here, so it won’t be a big deal even if the news spreads!
Finally, he asked awkwardly while facing Fang Zhixu's meaningful look, "This is what you asked me to eat, not what I insist on eating!"
"Ok, I know."
There was a slight smile in his tone.
He unceremoniously pulled out the chair in the middle of the restaurant and sat down naturally.
However, after twenty minutes, the food was almost ready.
"Did something happen to this old lady? Why aren't you back at this time?"
"No need to wait, the old lady has probably returned to the Fang family's old house by now."
"What?"
The fork he just picked up suddenly fell on the table.
Fang Zhixu, however, looked calm, "This is the dinner I prepared for you. Of course the old lady won't show up, so just eat."
Gu Mo's mouth twitched and he thought, forget it, finish eating and leave.
Fang Zhixu picked up the wine glass and shook it gently, his eyes wandering back and forth on Gu Mo's delicate little face.
"Does it taste okay?"
Gu Mo, who was peeling off a crab leg, nodded repeatedly.
He chuckled, "Eat slowly, tomorrow we will go to a fish farm on the other side of Hongshan."
"Why?"
Fang Zhixu was stunned when he asked this question. The hand shaking the wine glass unconsciously stopped, and he looked at the person opposite him somewhat helplessly.
"I just want to ask you to go there and have fun. After all, finding the prisoner back then is something worth celebrating."
Gu Mo didn't forget to explain while eating, "Mr. Fang, you may have misunderstood. We are neither friends nor relatives now. It seems that we have no reason to go to Hongshan with you."
After finishing eating a crab leg, she picked up the crab roe neatly with her chopsticks and said, "Mr. Fang, looking at City A, you are a hot potato. There is no need for you to keep staring at me. Don't worry, we are married. I will definitely keep it secret."
"In the eyes of outsiders, you are still the high-ranking boss of the Fang family in City A, and you will not have anything to do with me."
The person sitting opposite couldn't help but put down the red wine glass, "Do you really want to break up with me?"
The tone was solemn, with a deep sense of disappointment.
"It's different. I used to wish I could take out my whole heart and show it to you, but it's a pity that you don't want to."
Half of the crab roe was rolled into Gu Mo's belly. She licked her mouth with satisfaction and picked up the vegetable juice next to her. "Do you think I will make the mistake again stupidly?"
Tilt your head and pour half a cup of vegetable juice into your mouth.
"I did have problems before, but I am also reflecting on it, so I want you to give me a chance."
"No, Fang Zhixu, we were married for three years until we divorced. I gave you countless opportunities, but you never really seized them."
She scooped another bowl of seafood clam soup for herself, white smoke floating at the mouth of the bowl.
"Besides, I can tell you clearly that I don't like you at all now."
The hands on the table gradually tightened, and the tablecloth under the palms was wrinkled.
He just felt like countless needles were piercing his heart, so densely packed that he felt as if he was suffocating.
"No, it won't happen. Momo, you must not see your heart clearly. How could you..."
"Yes, I did not see my heart clearly before, so I kept hanging around you. Since I came out, I have seen myself clearly, and I will never stay by your side again."
"So, I'm counting the divorce dates on our fingers just to get rid of you."
The last piece of seafood soup was scooped into the spoon and put into the mouth. It was almost full after eating.
"Mr. Fang, do you think that I, who finally escaped from the sea of suffering, will be back in that cage just because you did me a favor or a meal?"
"Of course you helped me, I will definitely thank you. I don't have any objection to whatever price you want to offer."
Fang Zhixu took a deep breath and said, "I don't want anything, I just want you to give me one last chance."
Why is there a hint of bitterness in my mouth even though I haven't eaten anything?
He suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Gu Mo grabbed the hand towel on one side with a calm expression, not affected by Fang Zhixu's words at all.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, please find someone else. Your chance with me has been exhausted."
Putting down the hand towel, he stood up suddenly, and the stool behind him made a harsh sound due to the force of the pull.
She bent down and picked up the small bag, "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your hospitality today, but I hope there won't be another time."
After saying that, he took out a blank check from his hand and slapped it directly on the table in front of Fang Zhixu. The red wine in the red wine glass vibrated slightly because of the excessive force.
"Fill it in. It's a thank you gift for helping me this time. We won't owe each other anything after today, and I hope you won't ask the old lady to come in again."
"As for tomorrow's Hongshan activities, please excuse me for not accompanying you. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and walked toward the door with high heels, leaving only the lonely figure in front of the table.
Fang Zhixu sighed heavily, his heart hurting.
Why has she become so hard-hearted now? He has become like this...
Why! ?
A moment of irritability.
With such force on his wrist, the red wine glass fell straight to the ground and broke into two pieces. The waiters were so frightened that they broke into cold sweat and did not dare to say a word.
Gao Cheng stood aside and didn't dare to step forward. It seemed that these two people really wanted to go back to the past, but there was still a way to go.
"Take them all out and throw them away."
