After going to college, Chu Mo would only go home to live on weekends. This summer, he also used the reason that the school apartment is close to the company to stay with his friends in the same dormitory. Said it was "stepfather".

She is a reorganized family and has never seen her biological father since she can remember. It was Zhao Xuefei who raised her while working.However, this stretched life didn't last long. On Chu Mo's fourth birthday, Zhao Xuefei finally ushered in her second marriage and had a son with him——Chu Minghang.

Chu Siqi is a good father and husband, except that he looks a little fierce and has a bad temper. He has always regarded Chu Mo as his own, and what Chu Minghang has, she will only have more and not less.

Perhaps because of the lack of a layer of blood ties, Chu Mo always felt that she was an outsider when she saw a happy family. The older she got, the more she rejected going home. However, Wang Kuan's sudden visit obviously broke her original plan.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, but Chu Mo didn't dare to stay, and walked directly to the third residential building with his bag.Standing in front of the mottled and rusted anti-theft door, Chu Mo took a deep breath and made enough mental preparations before ringing the doorbell.

Not long after, footsteps came from the entrance, and it was her mother who opened the door, "Momo is back! Come in and sit down, the food is ready, Manager Wang is drinking with your father inside."

"He hasn't been promoted to manager yet." Chu Mo complained in a low voice as he put on his slippers. Chu Minghang was not at home today, and no one was helping to brighten the atmosphere. She could already imagine the embarrassing situation at the dinner table.

"What, is it because you have a bad relationship with Manager Wang? Are you angry at work?" After all, it was her own daughter, and Zhao Xuefei saw Chu Mo's reluctance at a glance.

Chu Mo gathered his energy and smiled at her, "It's okay, it's just that I'm too tired from work."

His mother has worked so hard for so many years, and Chu Mo doesn't want to cause her any more trouble.

Hearing Chu Mo say that she was tired from work, Zhao Xuefei babbled a few more words, telling her to pay more attention to her body and not stay up late, etc., every time she went home, she would say these words, and Chu Mo was used to it, so she followed her after a few words Came to the living room.

The slightly drunk Wang Kuan was chatting with Chu Siqi, when he saw Chu Mo coming, Wang Kuan immediately greeted Chu Mo with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Team Leader Wang." Chu Mo found a seat far away from him and sat down. After saying hello, he didn't speak any more.

On the contrary, Wang Kuan talked to Chu Siqi about Chu Mo's situation in the company, saying that she works hard and is a top student. If she can work in Jinyi after graduation, she can be promoted within a year.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Kuan also got bolder, grabbed a wine glass and wobbled towards Chu Mo, "Xiao Mo, you didn't drink much during the orientation meeting, this time to give the team leader a face, do this!" cup!"

"I..." The smell of wine wafted into her nostrils, just as Chu Mo was about to run away, a tall figure stood in front of her, grabbed Wang Kuan's wrist, took down the glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

"What kind of wine do the girls drink, Manager Wang, I made this drink for Momo!"

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, no matter how bad Wang Kuan had thought, he didn't dare to show it in front of his parents, so he laughed and laughed, and poured himself a new glass, "Brother Chu is just so proud, I did it too !"

After a bottle of white wine had run out, Chu Siqi asked Zhao Xuefei to open another bottle, and at the same time gave Chu Mo a wink, "It's getting late, I have to work tomorrow, go back to the room and rest first."

Chu Mo, who had wanted to leave for a long time, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard these words, and left his seat almost as if fleeing, "Well, I'm going to sleep first, and see you, Team Leader Wang."

The room was still the same as it was when he left last week. Chu Mo threw off the slippers and plunged into the bed, hugged the pillow to calm down for a few minutes, and then slowly took out the phone from his pocket, wanting to report to Ye Yue that he was safe.

"It's strange... just going home to live, why do you have to tell the team leader that you are safe?" Chu Mo muttered to the empty message board, obviously she didn't send a message to herself.

Seeing that the phone interface gradually dimmed, Chu Mo seemed to be angry with someone again, put the phone on the bedside table to charge, picked a change of clothes from the closet, and walked into the bathroom without looking back.

When she came out of the shower, Wang Kuan had already left. Zhao Xuefei seemed to have come in once, and put a plate of fruit on the table, with a post-it note saying "go to bed early" stuck to the side of the fruit plate.

Chu Mo's heart was warm, he squeezed a piece of cantaloupe into his mouth, and opened the WeChat interface while chewing.The dialog box with Ye Yue was still empty, but the company group, which had always been inactive, exploded directly, and there were a few @自己, asking her to come out and explain what happened.

Chu Mo frowned, and ate another piece of cantaloupe.

She had just climbed a quarter of the way up, and she roughly understood what happened. Seeing the indignant condemners in the news group, Chu Mo laughed angrily. Is her vision so bad?To be able to look up to Wang Kuan, the team leader with a fat head, is still a married man.

[Human Resources Department Leader Ye Yue]: Are you out of your mind?Is there anyone in the company who doesn't know Wang Kuan's character?Don't pursue him for public favoritism, but pick the victim's thorns here?

A new piece of news jumped into my eyes. The profile picture was a cartoon of an orange cat wearing a shark headgear. It was so cute that Chu Mo could tell who it was just by looking at the profile picture.

Ye Yue posted a few more messages, and the other department managers also came out to control the field, and the melon-eating crowd stopped.

Chu Mo read Ye Yue's words back and forth several times, especially the last sentence of "huh! Trash", thinking of Ye Yue's expression when she sent this sentence, Chu Mo couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth.

Clicking on the chat interface with Ye Yue again, the record still stays in the afternoon.

"Should I thank the team leader?" Chu Mo whispered while holding the phone.

Ding-dong-

A new message suddenly jumped out.

"Are you there?"

For the old-fashioned opening remarks, Chu Mo silently complained in his heart.

But still happily rolled around on the bed with the pillow in his arms, counting to three silently in his heart, leaving enough time before replying.

"Well, at home."

[Group Leader]: What a coincidence, I'm at home too!It's just at my sister's house, and I'm about to go back now.

Reply in seconds, you can tell at a glance that you have been waiting for your reply.

[Team leader]: Haha, does it seem that I am not very stable for replying so quickly?Next time I deliberately wait a few seconds before recovering (//shy//)

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. This sentence just hit Chu Mo's little mind, and he immediately changed the subject awkwardly. "Hey, the team leader hasn't come home so late, isn't he tired?"

[Group leader]: Thanks to the glass of iced Americano in the afternoon, I am very energetic now, and when I go home, I lie on the bed and stare blankly, so I might as well go out for a stroll [Maomao sighs].

[Group Leader]: Maybe I can drop by your house to have a look!Kidding.

Chu Mo also replied half-jokingly, "Then I'll wait for you to come over," and shared location information with her.

Click on the location sharing interface, and two avatars appear on the top row at the same time, one is a Q-version panda with a bamboo leaf in its mouth, and the other is an orange cat wearing a shark headgear.Chu Mo zoomed out the map until the two heads appeared on the same interface, as if this could shorten the distance between the two.

In an instant, the orange cat's head seemed to move.

At first, Chu Mo thought he was dazzled, but after a few minutes, the head of the orange cat obviously moved a certain distance, and every time it moved, the distance got closer.

Chu Mo sat up suddenly, an inexplicable emotion was burning and jumping in her chest like a spark, she jumped out of bed, opened the curtains, and waited by the window barefoot.
