Chapter 125 Female Rider
"My mother called you over last night. What did she say to you?"
Chen Mo was on the way to the airport to send Xu Hongdou off.
After staying in BJ for a few days, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing were going back to Yunnan together, while Chen Mo had to stay a little longer because he had some things to deal with.
"I won't tell you." Xu Hongdou had a smile on her face.
Knowing that Xu Hongdou was leaving today, Fang Shuyun pulled Xu Hongdou aside in a mysterious manner last night. No one knew what they said, and Chen Mo wanted to listen but was not allowed to.
"Even if you don't tell me, I can guess. Did you give me a red envelope?"
Chen Mo guessed, he seemed to remember there was such a custom.
The last time Chen Mo brought Xu Hongdou home was because of Fang Shuyun’s birthday. At that time, the two had just started dating and were not at the stage of talking about marriage.
Now Chen Mo has also been to Xu Hongdou's home and met Xu Hongdou's parents. This time he came back and brought Xu Hongdou to live at his home, so the meaning is naturally different.
"No." Xu Hongdou shook her head. "Auntie did give me something, but it wasn't a red envelope."
"It's not a red envelope? What is it?"
Chen Mo asked curiously. He thought Fang Shuyun would give a red envelope with a meaning like "one in a million".
"A jade bracelet." Xu Hongdou couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard this and confirmed, "The one my grandma gave to my mom?"
"Hmm." Xu Hongdou nodded, unable to hide her joy between her brows, and obviously knew the meaning of this bracelet.
"My mother gave this thing to you so quickly?" Chen Mo was a little surprised.
"What? Do you think it's too fast?" Xu Hongdou glanced at Chen Mo.
"That's impossible!" Chen Mo said immediately, "I just thought my mother would give it to you when we get married."
"Auntie said that I would have to give it to her sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if she gives it to me now." Xu Hongdou felt sweet in her heart when she thought of what Fang Shuyun said to her.
"If you accept it, you will be the daughter-in-law of our Chen family in the future. Don't regret it." Chen Mo "reminded".
Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes but didn't refute.
"Please bring it out so I can see it. I only remember seeing it a few times before, and now I can't remember what it looks like."
Chen Mo knew that such a thing existed, but it had always been kept by Fang Shuyun and he rarely saw it.
"It's in my bag. I wrapped it in several layers. It's too troublesome to take it out. Let's look at it later. Don't bump into it." Xu Hongdou said cautiously.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's not that valuable actually. Things are meant to be worn."
Although the jade bracelet is an old item handed down from generation to generation, it is not a priceless treasure.
Xu Hongdou shook her head. "That won't do. Since it has been passed to me, I must preserve it well and pass it on in the future."
Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "My mother probably thinks the same as you, so I rarely see her wearing it."
The symbolic meaning of this kind of family heirloom is far greater than its actual value.
With each passing generation, the meaning that future generations give and place their hopes on it becomes more profound.
"So I have to keep it well too. Nothing can go wrong in my hands." Xu Hongdou said seriously.
"Good, it seems that you have adapted to your new role as the daughter-in-law of the Chen family." Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Hongdou snorted without comment.
When they arrived at the airport, Chen Mo got out of the car to help Xu Hongdou take out the luggage.
"You don't have to send me in. Nanxing is here to accompany me."
"Has Nanxing arrived?"
"We're here. Let's meet in the terminal hall."
"Okay." Chen Mo nodded.
"I'm leaving."
"Wait a moment."
Xu Hongdou was pulling her luggage and waving her hand as she was about to leave, but was pulled back by Chen Mo.
"Huh?" Xu Hongdou asked puzzledly.
"Did you forget something?" Chen Mo reminded.
Xu Hongdou immediately understood, walked closer, tiptoed and gave her a kiss.
Chen Mo hugged Xu Hongdou and whispered, "Send me a message when you get there."
"Yes, I know." Xu Hongdou nodded slightly.
"I'm leaving."
"Let's go."
Chen Mo waved and watched Xu Hongdou enter the terminal before driving away.
On the way back from the airport, Chen Mo received a call from Ma Ye.
"Hey, Master Ma."
"Chen Mo, the design company your friend introduced last time has produced the design drawings. Do you want to come and take a look?"
"When?" "Now."
"Okay, send me your address."
"Okay, see you later."
"see you later."
Stopping at the traffic light, Chen Mo looked at the address sent by Ma Ye and redirected the navigation.
"Boom~~"
With a roar, a black motorcycle slowly stopped beside Chen Mo's car, waiting for the traffic light.
Chen Mo looked sideways and found that it was a female rider. She was wearing an orange workwear-style suit, a helmet, and riding a motorcycle. She looked heroic.
However, Chen Mo's attention was more focused on the motorcycle.
Triumph Scrambler, with its retro style and high-mounted dual exhaust pipe design, is really cool.
The female rider moved the lens of her helmet to let in some air and noticed the gaze from the side. She turned around and saw a very handsome man.
But the sight didn't seem to be on her, but on her motorcycle.
Seeing this, Chen Mo nodded and greeted him, and asked with interest: "Is this a small climb?"
The female rider nodded, "Triumph Climb 900."
"Won't it be hot for your feet?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
Because the Triumph Scrambler has a high-position exhaust design, the exhaust pipe is attached to the inside of the calf when riding.
"It's okay. It does feel hot, but not scalding." The female rider didn't seem annoyed. Maybe she saw that Chen Mo's focus was on the bike and not on striking up a conversation.
“Of course, it’s best to wear long pants when riding this,” the female rider laughed.
"Is that so?" Chen Mo nodded with a smile, "Excuse me for disturbing you."
"fine."
The red light turned green, and the two stopped chatting. They drove across the intersection and went in different directions.
Chen Mo was driving, thinking about the conversation just now. He felt like something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Oh, right, the eyes." Chen Mo knew something was wrong.
The female rider was wearing a helmet, so it was hard to see what she looked like. But when Chen Mo looked at her eyes, he felt that they looked a bit like Xu Hongdou, so he had a strange sense of familiarity.
"I didn't expect that I would miss Hongdou so much right after she left. Everyone I see looks like her." Chen Mo said to himself, and then he found it funny. "If I tell Hongdou about this, she probably won't believe it."
Chen Mo shook his head and didn't take it to heart. It was just a chance encounter.
According to the address given by Mr. Ma, Chen Mo came to an office building.
After going upstairs and getting out of the elevator, Chen Mo saw a sign with four big characters "Ancient Tea-Horse Road".
"The Ancient Tea-Horse Road" is the brand name set by Master Ma.
"Chen Mo, here." Ma Ye saw Chen Mo and waved.
Chen Mo walked forward and said with a smile: "Master Ma, your company's name is very good. You can tell what it does right away. It also has a sense of meaning and allusions, and it fits your last name."
Ma Ye waved his hand and said, "Well, Yunnan is one of the birthplaces of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, and it happened to be there that I had the idea for this business, so I was inspired to use this name."
"As for my last name, that's pure coincidence."
"That's also a beautiful coincidence." Chen Mole said.
Master Ma nodded and smiled, "It was a sudden inspiration, and the weather was just right."
Chen Mo joked: "It looks like success is just around the corner."
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Ma Ye shook his head and smiled, "Let's take a look at the store design first."
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions." Chen Mo nodded.
Ma Ye brought Chen Mo to the conference room. There were three people sitting on both sides of the conference room, two were from the design company, and one was from Ma Ye's company.
"Mr. Huang, let me introduce you. This is our company's partner, Chen Mo."
Master Ma introduced one of the men, who was dressed in a suit and looked well-dressed.
"I've long wanted to meet the young and promising classmate that Mingyu often mentions."
"I have long wanted to meet this senior brother who Mingyu mentioned has won so many awards."
The man whom Mr. Huang was called by Mr. Ma stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand.
Chen Mo also stretched out his hand and walked forward.
Two strangers can instantly become closer by talking about a middleman who is familiar to both parties.
Of course, no one took those polite words seriously.
The two held hands together.
"Huang Zhenhua."
"Chen Mo."
