Out of the lion

Under the night, Li Mo beside the bed was covered with a layer of faint moonlight, looking like a god who descended from the sky.

After leaving Lin Xiaoxi, she always felt an unspeakable sense of loneliness.It seems that no one can get close to him, and no one can guess his heart.

Behind him, Xu Guanjia walked slightly bent, and stopped only two meters away from him.

"Sir, it's time to rest."

Li Mo's body has always been relatively weak, so Grandma specially told the housekeeper to remind Li Mo to rest on time.She said that no matter how important business is, it is not as important as body.

He thought, grandma should love him, right?That's why he regards his body more important than business.

Seeing that Li Mo didn't give him any response, the thread manager thought that he was immersed in his own world and didn't hear what he was saying, so he repeated with concern: "Sir, it's getting late."

Li Mo turned and walked out of the study, but did not go to the bedroom, and went downstairs under the suspicious eyes of the housekeeper.

The steward of Xu stayed behind Li Mo, thinking that he was in a bad mood and needed to walk around to relax, and whispered to the servant to bring a blanket in case he needed it.

The Xu steward took the blanket and caught up with Li Mo, only to find that he was walking towards a desolate courtyard.

The closer Li Mo got to the yard, the more nervous the butler became.

Seeing that Li Mo was about to walk into the yard, the housekeeper didn't care much, so he quickly chased after him and stopped Li Mo.

"gentlemen……"

Li Mo's cold eyes fell on the butler Xu.

"So, you know everything, right?" The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched, thinking heavily, "That's right, you have been with grandma for so many years, you must know a lot about grandma. Or, you are grandma's hand Lock, lock a lot of things."

The butler was silent for a long time, and then said with a heavy heart: "Sir, there are some things... I don't want you to know, there is a reason why I don't want you to know. Why bother?"

His words verified Li Mo's conjecture.The emotional housekeeper has always been aware of family matters.Li Mo's statement is also correct, the housekeeper of Xu is a lock for Mrs. Li, and she still performs the function of a lock after her death, locking those secrets and keeping them from the world.

The moonlight is cold, the courtyard that has never been cleaned is bleak, and there are many fallen leaves.

Li Mo suddenly wanted to understand one thing, why there is a courtyard in the Li family's mansion that is surprisingly similar to a certain courtyard in the Tao family in Huaxi Town.

Because, the old lady was originally built according to that courtyard.

She not only knows about Huaxi Town, but also has a deep understanding of Huaxi Town.

In fact, that courtyard may not be built according to the backyard of the Tao family.In Huaxi Town, the backyards of many families look like that. A towering banyan tree blocks out the sky and the sun. The subordinates either don’t display anything and let the children run around, or set up a set of tables and chairs. .Or marble, or stone pier, or rattan chair.

Li Mo recalled that the backyard of his house was also like that. He was beaten when he was a child, and he also secretly climbed up the banyan tree, and secretly wiped his tears under the cover of the dense leaves until he fell asleep, so that his parents would have a hard time looking for it.

He pushed the yard away, looked at the blurred outline of the yard under the moonlight, and had an illusion, as if he had returned to Huaxi Town and his own home.

This courtyard looks more and more like his home in Huaxi Town.

My heart was colder than the moonlight, my nose was sore, and at some point, two tears fell from my eyes.

The Xu Guanjia was crying, staring at Li Mo's back, trembling, and asked with a choked voice: "Are you really going to do this?"

Li Mo's mind went blank, and in an instant, the scene of getting along with grandma appeared like a movie playback.

It was grandma who saved him, it was grandma who took time out of her busy schedule to cook porridge for him, and it was grandma who taught him business skills...

Grandma is so serious in front of outsiders, like a queen who holds a lot of power, but in front of him, she is an old urchin who deliberately pretends to be healthy in order not to see a doctor, and pretends to be sick in order to let Li Mo handle affairs instead of her.

"Grandma..."

On the day grandma passed away, his heart was suddenly empty.

"Grandma..."

He silently called three times in his heart, and then, in the tearful eyes of Xu Guanjia, he turned and left.

He knew that grandma's secret was kept in that desolate courtyard.

Is it necessary to reveal the secret?
Maybe not necessary.

Grandma loves him, this premise is enough to explain many things.For example, explain that everything she does may be for his good and to protect him.

Secrets, truths, in many cases, it may not be a good thing to reveal them.

When Li Mo was about to enter the bedroom, the housekeeper stared at Li Mo's back, feeling uncomfortable.

After the bedroom door was closed, the housekeeper turned and left.

When Steward Xu walked out of the compound, he saw the servant walking in a hurry, as if he was busy, so he asked, "Aren't you resting?"

The servant said, "Assistant Jiang ordered some supper to be delivered."

"It should be punished to write a self-criticism again."

"Assistant Jiang is enough. He was punished himself, and he has to drag us to accompany him. If this happens again next time, I will buy some laxatives and put them in his supper."

When the servants of the Li family are not present, they will make jokes and jokes.However, the butler didn't react at all at this moment, the servant thought he had said something wrong, so he quickly slipped away.

Steward Xu went to Jiang Chu's room.

The lights were still on there, and he could be seen sitting in front of the desk through the window, writing a review with a pen, looking like a student who was forcibly left by his parents to do homework and not go out to play.

Jiang Chu couldn't write anything in the first place, he was too worried, and he didn't feel sleepy. Any movement outside the window made him feel extremely interesting, and could completely draw his attraction away.

The sound of Xu Guanjia walking was very soft, but Jiang Chu had already noticed it.

"Old man, why are you here? Why didn't you bring supper?" The moment Jiang Chu saw Steward Xu, his eyes were about to glow green, and soon, the light in his eyes dimmed again.

Seeing that the old man was preoccupied and didn't talk to him, Jiang Chu regained his energy immediately, and pulled the old man into the room, and let him sit down in front of the desk.

"Old man, if you have something on your mind, just say it, and I will help you enlighten it."

The mood steward didn't expect this, "I've eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, you can enlighten me? Just mind your own business. If you can't hand in the self-criticism, it's up to you what to do."

Jiang Chu really didn't really want to enlighten Steward Xu, it was just that he couldn't write anything, it was too uncomfortable, and he wanted to listen to other people's thoughts, gossip, and pass the time.What if you found joy in this kind of small talk?
However, the old man doesn't know the way at all.

Jiang Chu drooped his head, and put the paper with a few words on his face, looking hopeless.

"Old man, why don't you teach me how to write a self-criticism."
