Chapter 29 Hurry up
As soon as Xu Hongdou returned to 1101, she sent a message to Chen Nanxing to tell him.

Chen Nanxing immediately sent a question.

Chen Nanxing: Woman, tell me the truth, why did you want to eat at someone else's house?
Xu Hongdou: There’s no reason. I just got invited. Now that things have come to that point, it’s hard to refuse.

Chen Nanxing: Don’t give me that. I don’t believe you at all.

Chen Nanxing: I remember someone said that he was very good at rejecting others.

Chen Nanxing: Who refused a colleague’s invitation to dinner by saying he wanted to take the dog for a walk after get off work?

Chen Nanxing: You have a toy dog ​​at home and you have the nerve to call yourself a dog walker.

Chen Nanxing: You’re telling me now that you’re too embarrassed to refuse?
Chen Nanxing: Politely and reasonably rejecting guests' unreasonable requests should be the professional quality that you, as a hotel lobby manager, should possess, right?
Xu Hongdou looked at Chen Nanxing's message and frowned and thought for a while. Yes, why didn't he refuse every time?

If it happened once or twice it could be considered a coincidence, but it seems like we’ve been eating together quite frequently recently?

How many times has this happened including today?
It seemed like every meal was proposed by Jiang Congwen. First he invited someone to dinner because of a neighbor he knew, then he invited someone to dinner because of helping to shoot a video, and today he invited someone to dinner because of moving.

Maybe she knew that Jiang Congwen had a beautiful girlfriend, so when Jiang Congwen brought it up, she subconsciously wouldn't think about it in other ways, and naturally felt less repulsive?
However, Chen Mo, who had the idea, never brought it up himself.

With one of them inviting her and the other persuading her, she always seemed to find it difficult to refuse without realizing it.

It seemed that it was Jiang Congwen who proposed it first today, and then Chen Mo suggested having a dinner at home.

wingman?

This word popped up in Xu Hongdou's mind. As someone working in the hotel service industry, she has always been sensitive to people's thoughts and intentions.

Or is it really like what Chen Nanxing said, because Chen Mo is handsome?

She, Xu Hongdou, would also be obsessed with flowers? How is this possible? !
Xu Hongdou shook her head to deny the idea. She felt that she was still relatively rational.

Moreover, Xu Hongdou is very confident in herself. It has always been others who are obsessed with her, so how could she be obsessed with others?

Xu Hongdou was a little boastful, then after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it should be the first reason.

Jiang Congwen's presence always confused her attention, making her and Chen Mo closer without her realizing it.

It seems that the two of them are really good brothers.

It seems that Jiang Congwen proposed it when Chen Mo moved in during their first meal together, right?
Xu Hongdou suddenly thought of it.

Chen Nanxing: Hello, hello? Why aren't you talking?

Chen Nanxing: Did I get it right?

Chen Nanxing's news interrupted Xu Hongdou's thoughts.

Xu Hongdou: It’s just an ordinary meal together, it’s not an unreasonable request, this is not work.

Xu Hongdou: But now that you said that, it reminds me.

Xu Hongdou: It seems like they have some routines.

Chen Nanxing: Really? ! !

Chen Nanxing: That’s what I said.

Chen Nanxing: But that’s not right.

Chen Nanxing: Even if there are tricks, you have seen a lot in your years of working in the hotel. How can you not see through them?
Chen Nanxing: Unless
Xu Hongdou: Unless what? I just didn’t think about that for the moment.

Xu Hongdou: And after all, it’s just a meal.

Chen Nanxing: Unless you don’t resist or reject it in your heart, you won’t give others a chance.

Chen Nanxing: And this kind of thinking of yours is a precursor to love.

Chen Nanxing: It’s just a meal, and I’m just sending you home.

Chen Nanxing: So what happens next is just holding hands and kissing?

Xu Hongdou:
Xu Hongdou: Is it that serious?
Chen Nanxing: Is it really that serious?!
Chen Nanxing: Is it to the point that you yourself are still unclear about it?
Chen Nanxing: Dou'er, you are in love~~
Xu Hongdou: Okay, okay, this matter hasn’t even started yet.

Xu Hongdou: You make it sound like I’m getting married tomorrow.

Xu Hongdou: You should first think about when your prince charming will come.

Chen Nanxing: Hey, don’t say that.

Chen Nanxing: A new colleague recently joined our company department, and he looks quite my type.

Chen Nanxing: I heard that the family conditions are also good.

Xu Hongdou: Really, isn’t that great?

Xu Hongdou: It’s already delivered to your door, so you have to take it, right?

Chen Nanxing: What do you mean by delivered to your door?

Chen Nanxing: You make it seem like they are the little white rabbits and I am the big bad wolf.

Chen Nanxing: But he does look quite young, hehe.

Xu Hongdou:
Xu Hongdou: You are not much different from Grandma Wolf.
Chen Nanxing: What wolf grandma! Am I that old?!
Chen Nanxing: I am just a few years older than others, at most I am just a sister!
Xu Hongdou: Okay, okay, sister, sister.

Xu Hongdou: So how much older are you, sister?

Chen Nanxing: Six years older

Chen Nanxing: [Shy]

Xu Hongdou: That’s the sister of the two gold bricks.

Chen Nanxing:
Chen Nanxing: Xu Hongdou, don’t forget, we are the same age!

Xu Hongdou:
Xu Hongdou: Thank you for your reminder.

Chen Nanxing: So, is Chen Mo older or younger than you?

Xu Hongdou: I don’t know.

Chen Nanxing: Then invite me over for dinner next time.

Chen Nanxing: Let me help you find out about his background.

Xu Hongdou: No need, just understand it naturally.

Chen Nanxing: What’s the use?
Chen Nanxing: Let me tell you, I feel a similar vibe from Jiang Congwen.

Xu Hongdou: What similar taste?

Chen Nanxing: Wingman.

Chen Nanxing: The other side has already dispatched their wingman, I will also escort you!

Xu Hongdou:
Chen Nanxing: I’m serious, don’t take it lightly.

Chen Nanxing: It is easy for you to suffer a loss when the enemy outnumbers you.

Xu Hongdou: Okay, okay, I will definitely invite you for dinner next time.

Chen Nanxing: That’s about right.

Xu Hongdou: Love you~~
Chen Nanxing: Hum~~
After helping Jiang Congwen clean up the table, Chen Mo went home.

He doesn't need to pack anything when he moves tomorrow, just take his clothes and computer, and then buy whatever else he needs.

As soon as Chen Mo entered the door, he saw Fang Shuyun and Chen Huaisong sitting in the living room.

"Dad, Mom, you guys haven't slept yet?"

"Well, you're back." Fang Shuyun nodded.

"It's your mother who insisted on waiting for you." Chen Huaisong shook his head helplessly.

"Then go to bed by yourself. I didn't ask you to wait." Fang Shuyun said.

Chen Huaisong didn't say anything. He knew that if he went to bed first, Fang Shuyun would say that she didn't care about her son or something.

Alas, you are already an adult, but you are still worrying about trivial things.

Chen Huaisong thought that Fang Shuyun was about to retire and had nothing to do.

Chen Mo has always been quite independent, so he had never seen Fang Shuyun so worried before.

Could it be menopause? Chen Huaisong thought to himself.

Of course, he would never dare to mention this word in front of Fang Shuyun.

"Haha, Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Why are you waiting for me?" Chen Mo said with a smile. He always felt that some topic was waiting for him.

"Why are you so late today?" Fang Shuyun asked with concern.

"Oh, I had a meal at Congwen's place and talked for a while."

"Did you drink while driving?"

"No, don't worry, I'll call a designated driver if I drink."

"Yeah." Fang Shuyun nodded. She also knew that Chen Mo knew his limits.

But as a mother, I still can't help but nag about some of the things I often say.

No matter how old a child is, he or she will always be a child in the eyes of his or her parents.

Maybe you will have to wait until you have your own children before you can empathize and truly understand your parents' concerns.

Chen Mo was not impatient. It felt good to have someone waiting for him and caring about him when he got home, wasn't it?
Don't keep your patience and good temper for outsiders, but be impatient with those who are really close to you.

In fact, many people understand this point, but sometimes when talking to parents, people can't help but feel irritated by their parents' nagging.

This is not just the child's own fault, but more often it is caused by the child's way of getting along with his parents and the relationship he has had since childhood.

It is possible that parents are busy working and making money, and only want to provide their children with good living conditions, thus neglecting emotional communication with their children.

It is also possible that parents are often more selfish and interfere with their children's choices in a tougher way during their children's growth.

Or it may be because parents are too indulgent towards their children since childhood.

The reasons why relationships go wrong are different, but the reasons why relationships go well are mostly similar, which is nothing more than mutual respect, mutual understanding, and equal communication.

So some people say that lucky people use their childhood to heal their entire life, while unfortunate people use their entire life to heal their childhood.

Chen Mo has always been very clear that he is very lucky. The real luck is not being born in a wealthy family, but being born in such a family where the family members have harmonious and loving relationships with each other.

So Chen Mo felt that he was able to do this because his father Chen Huaisong set an example.

Chen Huaisong is always patient in front of Chen Mo and Fang Shuyun, and never brings negative emotions from work home.

It was not until Chen Mo started working on his own that he realized how difficult this was.

So Chen Mo always wanted to be like his father Chen Huaisong.

Perhaps the best way to teach by example is when children want to be like their parents.

If parents lie on the sofa and watch their phones, but ask their children to watch less phones and read more, will the children listen?
"Mom, don't worry, I know our family doesn't need this little money."

"I cherish my life very much. After all, our family property is waiting for me to inherit. I can't lose the big picture for the small one."

Chen Mo approached Fang Shuyun with a playful smile and joked.

"That's not necessarily true." Fang Shuyun said.

"What's going on? My dad has an illegitimate child outside?!" Chen Mo said in shock.

"He dares!" Fang Shuyun glanced to the side.

"You rebellious son." Chen Huaisong glared at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo used Fang Shuyun as a shield.

"You scared me." Chen Mo pretended to be relieved.

"Stop playing tricks on me. You always try to change the subject by mentioning your dad." Fang Shuyun patted Chen Mo's arm and said.

"If you have children, I can give me grandchildren." Fang Shuyun said.

Here it comes, it’s this familiar moment again, Chen Mo thought.

When I was studying, I would always talk about my academic performance.

When working, the topic of conversation would often turn to marriage.

After getting married, the topic of having children will probably come up soon.

Then it may be your turn to talk about your child's studies.

This cycle continues from generation to generation.

When will it end?
Then humanity will probably become extinct.

"That's a good relationship. You can raise me when I'm young, and my children can raise me when I'm old."

"The key is that I don't have to support you, old or young, and you are all richer than me, so I can enjoy a happy life." Chen Mo couldn't help laughing.

"."Chen Huaisong.

"." Fang Shuyun.

"What kind of pillow did you use to sleep tonight to have such a beautiful dream?" Chen Huaisong said with disdain.

"Isn't this just a promise made by my mother?" Chen Mo said.

"." Fang Shuyun.

"You little jerk, I haven't even enjoyed this blessing, so how can I let you enjoy it?!" Fang Shuyun couldn't help but say.

"Then what are you trying to do so late at night?" Chen Mo asked.

"Let me ask you, who is that girl you filmed with?"

"You don't want to sleep, and you have to wait for me to come back to ask this?" Chen Mo blinked and said with a smile.

"I thought you were worried that your son might not come home at night, so you left a light on for me." Chen Mo said "sadly".

Chen Huaisong looked dismayed as he watched. They were truly a mother and son, and there was so much drama going on.

"Leave the light on for you? The electricity bill is free." Fang Shuyun said with a frown.

"."Chen Mo.

"Then I'll leave?" Chen Mo said as he got up and went back to his room.

"The gate is over there." Fang Shuyun said expressionlessly.

"Mom, you really like joking. Where else can I go so late?" Chen Mo turned around and sat back down.

"That's the neighbor." Chen Mo said.

"Neighbor, when did our neighbors have such a beautiful girl?" Fang Shuyun looked at Chen Huaisong.

"I haven't seen it either." Chen Huaisong also shook his head.

"They are not our neighbors, but the neighbors of the house rented by Congwen. We just asked them to help us shoot a video." Chen Mo explained.

"I remember you said that Congwen was going to find a new house, and if you were to move out you would have to move into his current house?" Fang Shuyun immediately grasped the key point.

"In other words, this girl will be your neighbor from now on?"

"Well, that should be the case." Chen Mo nodded.

"No wonder you suddenly want to move out." Fang Shuyun suddenly realized.

"Actually." Chen Mo wanted to explain something.

"When are you moving?" Fang Shuyun suddenly asked.

"I was just about to tell you this. We've moved out since we got married, so I plan to move in there tomorrow if I have nothing else to do."

"Of course, Mom, if you miss me, I can come a few days later." Chen Mo hadn't finished his words.

"Actually, it's still early. The nightlife has just begun for you young people. You can pack a few clothes and go there now." Fang Shuyun suddenly said.

"."Chen Mo.

"Mom, are you serious?" Chen Mo said in disbelief.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, son. Mom still can't bear to part with you."

Just as Chen Mo was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Fang Shuyun continue speaking.

"Just get up early tomorrow and go there early."

"."Chen Mo.

"Dad?" Chen Mo looked at Chen Huaisong with hope.

"We can finally have some time alone together," said Chen Huaisong.

"."Chen Mo.

"What does that girl do? Where is she from? How old is she this year?" Fang Shuyun asked a series of questions.

"Mom, even if I move over, she's still my neighbor, not my girlfriend." Chen Mo felt overwhelmed after hearing this. This was the reason why he didn't want his mother to know.

"Since you know it's not the case, why don't you hold on tight?!"

"."Chen Mo.

"You can't be slow with such a beautiful girl." Fang Shuyun continued.

"Back then, your father shamelessly hung around me all day and pestered me, and I finally gave him the chance to take advantage of me."

"."Chen Huaisong.

Chen Mo looked at Chen Huaisong in surprise.

"Back then..." Chen Huaisong saw his son's eyes and was about to explain.

"Isn't it?" Fang Shuting asked softly.

"That's right." Chen Huaisong nodded helplessly.

Although he was the one who confessed first, it was clearly Fang Shuyun who pursued him first.

Somehow, he was completely controlled by Fang Shuyun in his life.

Forget it, as a man, Chen Huaisong could only comfort himself in his heart.

"What's the girl's name?" Fang Shuyun asked.

"Xu Hongdou."

"Xu Hongdou? This name sounds nice." Fang Shuyun nodded.

"Anyway, my request is not high. Just bring the red beans home for a meal this year."

"How can I guarantee this?"

"Son, Mom really doesn't want to see you grow old and alone, with no one to pour you a glass of water when you're sick," Fang Shuyun sighed.

【Oh God, help me

I'm old.
No lover
Loneliness is pitiful
If you have never loved, life is black and white.

Chen Mo: “.”

Listening to the music in his mind and Fang Shuyun's muttering, Chen Mo felt overwhelmed and quickly interrupted:

"Bring it, bring it."

"Mom, I promise, I will do my best to bring you a girlfriend this year."

"Okay." Fang Shuyun immediately retracted his sad expression and said with satisfaction.

"Then I'll pick Hongdou. Don't try to fool me with just anyone else."

"Okay, you have the final say."
