As soon as He Yizhen went downstairs and got in the car, her daughter He Qi's call came after her. After she answered, her breath was stuck in her chest again, unable to get up or down.

"Mom, since there is fair competition, I don't think any of us can let Sister Qiao know in advance. How about we let Sister Qiao make her own choice a month later?"

Her daughter's negotiating voice was calm and composed. He Yizhen took a deep breath and asked, "Did I ever say that we want to compete fairly?"

"We were at home just now, didn't we agree?" He Qi asked hesitantly.

"Then why can't we insist on first come, first served?" Now that her daughter has made up her mind to compete with her, He Yizhen also started to discuss with her.

"Didn't you make it yet? The window paper hasn't been pierced, so it doesn't count." He Qi was silent for a while, and then said: "Mom, since it hasn't been pierced, then wait a little longer. Are you in a hurry right now? When the time comes, let’s poke together and leave the choice to Elder Sister Qiao, how about it?”

He Qi's words made He Yizhen blush and almost fainted.What do you mean they poke together?Damn girl, you can't say it in another word, it's easy to be misunderstood, you know?

After slandering secretly for a while, He Yizhen held his forehead, "Okay, it's okay, I'll hang up."

"Hey, did you agree to my proposal?" He Qi insisted.

He Yizhen sighed leisurely, looked at the empty garage, started the car, and wanted to struggle, "What if I don't agree?"

There was a silence on the other side, and He Yizhen became a little impatient. She was holding back her breath and had nowhere to vent it. She was about to find Joyna to vent her anger, but she was entangled by her daughter again.

Blame that goblin.

"Mom, I really like Sister Qiao. She is the first woman I fell in love with. I also know that you are interested in her. In this case, we might as well put aside our identities and compete fairly. What's more, Sister Qiao looks She looks really young, and I stand with her without any disobedience. Mom, do you know how old Sister Qiao is?" Seeing that she couldn't do it, He Qi began to play the emotional card, and her tone should be as respectful as possible, carefully Listening to it can also feel a little bit of sadness.

terrible.He Yizhen thought to herself, the problem is that facing her daughter, her heart really softened.In her previous life, could it be that she robbed the other party's daughter-in-law and sent her to be her daughter to collect debts in this life?

After sinking his heart, He Yizhen followed his daughter's words and thought.Joyna was younger than Zhou Mo, and she herself was a few years older than Lin Yuxi, so she was full of plans. There was an eight-year difference between her and Joyna.In this way, the woman seemed to be 15 years older than her daughter.

Judging from this figure, she and Joyner are more suitable.Anyone with a brain would not think that He Qi's brain circuit is normal.

Where is it a good match?It's 15 years old.

If it were someone else, He Yizhen would have made his rival powerless to fight back and quit in despair.But now the other party has become her daughter, the closest person to her.She can only let He Qi's temperament, after all, her daughter is an adult, has her own thoughts and attitudes, she knows what her daughter believes, and she will not turn back until she hits the south wall.

Neither force her nor hurt her self-esteem, the only way is to agree to her proposal and compete fairly.

fair play?

Thinking of this, He Yizhen smiled suddenly, helplessly and ridiculously.

"Your Aunt Qiao is 15 years older than you, have you made up your mind to pursue her?" He Yizhen purposely bit down on the word "fifteen" and emphasized it seriously.

Hearing this, He Qi was surprised and said, "Is it so big? I really can't tell it at all. It's thin and tender, and it feels like a little girl."

The car turned into the right-turn lane, and the dim light and shadow hit the car, flickering on and off.He Yizhen smacked her lips on the other end of the phone, rolled her eyes, and said, "Is there anything else? I'll hang up. You should wash up and go to bed early."

Seeing that He Yizhen was about to hang up the phone, He Qi became anxious and asked aloud: "Mom, are you looking for Sister Qiao? If so, can you promise me something?"

"What's the matter?" With the car window half down, there was a breeze blowing, coolly brushing against the ears.He Yizhen expected that nothing good happened to her daughter.Although he was prepared, he was still choked by her next words.

"Mom..." He Qi hesitated and said, "That... Before sister Qiao makes a choice, can you keep a gentleman's distance from her? It's... It's best not to have any more physical contact."

He Yizhen: "..."

The air suddenly froze.

Stopping at the intersection of traffic lights, He Yizhen tilted his head to face the fresh air outside the window and took a deep breath, the fire in his chest was barely extinguished.

After hanging up the phone, when she was approaching the hotel where Joyna was staying, she suddenly wanted to turn around and go back.He Qi is really capable, she can control her old mother to death.

Clenching the steering wheel with her fingers, He Yizhen found a parking space and stopped by the road, turned off the engine, lit a cigarette and looked up at the wet night scene.

The winter night just after it rained still had a hint of coolness.There are withered and broken leaves rolling and smashing on the window glass. This may be the last leaf on that tree, a feeling of desolation.He Yizhen stared blankly, and suddenly thought of an old song:

"Life is just a few autumns, don't stop until you get drunk."

A cigarette was lingering and burned out, He Yizhen restarted the car, and if he didn't touch it, he didn't touch it. It's okay to meet each other, right?

While comforting herself, she felt that this behavior and thinking were quite naive.But there is no way, who let her compete with her own daughter.

***

When Zhou Mo returned to the company, staff members came in to report on the work. The relevant information of Rongxin Group had been collected and neatly placed on the desk.

She looked through it briefly and knew that the other party was a company with strong strength and background.

She took a piece of land in another city last year and prepared for a year to put it into construction.Now that place was taken by the Rongxin Group, the other party asked them to transfer the land use rights.

The problem is that they can't give a reasonable land price, which is completely bullying.

Zhou Mo didn't want to back down and felt useless, so he started hitting her sideways.

In recent years, she has been working hard to expand the business field and improve her reputation. If they make concessions this time, it may damage the company's reputation.If it gets out, it may be difficult to gain a foothold in the industry.

After all, the news in the business world is interoperable.

She didn't want to back down, let alone admit defeat.

With his elbows on the table, Zhou Mo raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows, feeling a sudden sense of frustration.

The company needs to deal with a lot of thorny issues, not only this one, but also the fact that the agents used inferior products in private and put their labels on them for sale, which damaged the reputation of the products.The legal department has been dealing with disputes, and she needs to follow up on the situation in a timely manner.

Having held three meetings a day, Zhou Mo felt exhausted.On the way home at night, Lin Yuxi called her and asked when she would arrive home. They were making dumplings and waiting for her to come back.

Because of Lin Yuxi's words, he was so tired that he immediately became more energetic.

"Why do you think of making dumplings?" It's a very tedious process. In Zhou Mo's impression, her mother is not a person who likes making dumplings.

"Did you forget? Today is the winter solstice." Lin Yuxi responded softly to her, was silent for a while, and then asked hesitantly: "Zhou Mo...can you accompany me back to my mother's place after dinner tonight? She is alone I'm worried about spending the winter solstice at home."

Lin Yuxi's voice was extremely quiet, but Zhou Mo could still catch the guilt in her tone.

"Why is it still your mother? It's our mother." Zhou Mo pulled the corners of her lips, and the tiredness in her eyes was dispelled a lot. She looked at the intersection in front of her eyes, turned the steering wheel to the right, and continued: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"um. Thank you."

"Are you so polite?" Zhou Mo smiled lightly, and the car drove in the direction of Mother Lin's house, "I really want to thank me, seeing your performance tonight?"

"You're really... You started to be indecisive after a few words." Lin Yuxi's soft voice annoyed her.

Imagining Lin Yuxi's blushing and shy face on the other end of the phone, Zhou Mo's heart was as sweet as honey.

She raised her eyes to look at the road conditions in front of her eyes, and said, "Don't talk anymore, I'm driving, remember to come out to meet me when I get home later, there is a surprise."

"What surprise?" Lin Yuxi, like a little girl, was also looking forward to the surprise prepared by her lover.

"You'll know later." Zhou Mo hung up the phone with a smile, and when she reached the intersection of traffic lights, she thought for a while and found Mother Lin's phone number to call.

There were only two beeps, and Mother Lin's kind voice came slowly, "Xiao Zhou."

"Mom." Zhou Mo called out sweetly, and she heard intermittent comforting laughter from the opposite side.

At this moment, Zhou's house is brightly lit. There is a branch tree in the courtyard of the villa with flickering lights hanging on it, reflecting the winding cobblestone path.

"Looking at the shrimp stuffing in this pot, Xiaomo should be very happy." Zhou Ying was in charge of wrapping, and with a light pinch with her slender fingers, the exquisite dumplings were formed, and the stomach was bulging, very full.

"Yuxi went out to buy it early in the morning." Qin Xue glanced at Lin Yuxi, who was seriously making dumplings with downcast eyes, while rolling out the skin, and she liked it more and more.

As expected of a professor, he has a calm temperament, like a slim lily.When Qin Xue passed the study on the second floor in the morning, she heard Lin Yuxi answering questions with students via video. She appreciated her serious and patient attitude.

Lifting her eyelids and looking at Lin Yuxi, who had trembling eyelashes, Zhou Ying pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Yuxi, you can't spoil her too much, be careful that she bullies you, you have to take care of her."

"She didn't bully me, she treated me very well." Noticing that Zhou Ying was looking at her with a smile, Lin Yuxi blushed and responded softly, "Actually, she takes care of me most of the time."

"Your sister loves Yuxi, so don't talk nonsense." Qin Xue touched the eldest daughter with her arm, and her eyes signaled her not to talk nonsense.She still couldn't bear the suffering of her little daughter.

Arrange the wrapped dumplings in a row, white and tender, like small ingots.Zhou Ying always had a soft smile on her cheeks, as sweet as sweet spring, "That's right, besides being considerate to her daughter-in-law, my sister is like a bully in front of other people, she almost grins her teeth."

Imagining the younger sister who lied to her pocket money when she was young, Zhou Ying's eyes were full of doting smiles.

"Hey, why is there still a pot of leek meat, isn't it already stuffed with beef? Can you finish eating so many kinds?" Zhou Ying looked at the untouched leek stuffing and asked.

"If you can't finish eating, you can freeze it. Before going out, Yuxi asked your father about the taste of the vegetables you bought. You two, after so many years, you don't have that kind of thought." Qin Xue glanced at her daughter and pretended to complain.

"Mom, am I busy? Besides, what do you and Dad want to eat in the future, I'll buy it for you with a phone call." Zhou Ying and Lin Yuxi looked at each other, expressing her mother's occasional childish temper.

Lin Yuxi frowned, smiled as she watched her sister cling to Qin Xue's shoulder, and suddenly her mother rang out.

She pinched the dough with her fingers, and it was soft. She still remembered the first time she learned how to make dumplings. Because the skin was too thin, the dumplings were all broken when they were rolled in the pot. In order not to waste, the mother took them out and ate them all by herself. up.

The more she thought about it, the more sad she felt, Lin Yuxi blinked her sour eyes, scooped a spoonful of meat filling and poured it on the dough.Suddenly, the daughter who was playing chess with Ning Caixuan's father in the living room shouted excitedly, "Grandma, why are you here? Mom, grandma is here."

She looked sideways and looked at the far hallway. With Zhou Mo's support, her mother looked at her from afar with a smile on her face.
