The phone rang twice, and then came a suspicious voice. Hearing this voice, I suddenly felt that my whole nervous heart became much calmer, and I said, "Mom, it's me, Dodo."

"A lot, why did the number change? How is the time? Are you tired from work?"

"It's okay, I'm not tired. Is mom okay?" I used to call my mom every other week, but this time the interval was so long. Fortunately, everything is fine.

"A lot, Xiaojia's academic performance has improved rapidly recently, and the teacher called me. I am in good health and everything is fine. You can work in Philadelphia at ease. Don't worry about us, huh?"

Originally, I wanted to call back to comfort my mother, but I didn't expect to comfort her in turn. "I see. I didn't go back to see you on New Year's Day. I'll finish my work in these two days and go back to accompany you for two days, okay?"

"Really?" Mom's happy voice reached my ears, "Then I have to prepare well and cook some of your favorite dishes! But, Duoduo, Mom has one thing to ask you... "

There was hesitation in the mother's voice, could it be Lin Kejia's trouble that she knew about?

"Mom, tell me..."

"The last time I went to see Xiaojia at school, Teacher Yu said that you went to school to see Xiaojia once, and you were with a man?"

My mother still found out...

"Cough, Mom, that's my colleague, we...we have no special relationship." I explained hastily.

"Duo Duo, if you have a boyfriend, remember to bring it back and show it to your mother. You have been careless since you were a child. I am worried about working outside. If you have a boyfriend, remember to tell your mother right away, huh?"

"Well, I see. Mom, you should finish your work early and rest early. I'll go back to see you after I finish what I'm doing."

"Okay, then I'll go to work first."

My mother hung up the phone, but I stood there in a daze. I have caused my mother to worry about me for so many years. If she knows that Xia Haoyu is a bar owner, she will worry too much if she doesn't know...

"What's the matter? Are you calling Auntie?" A voice suddenly sounded behind me. I turned around and saw Xia Haoyu standing there with a vegetable basket, his face still as calm as ever.

"Brother Yu, when did you come back? Why is there no movement?" I hung up the phone in a hurry, and said, "I didn't see my phone, so I used this phone..."

Xia Haoyu didn't know if he heard what I said. If he knew that I didn't tell my mother about our relationship, he would probably be a little angry, right?

"You lost your mobile phone when you went out to play last time. I bought a new one for you. It's on the table in the bedroom. The numbers are stored in it..." Xia Haoyu didn't even look at me, turned around and walked towards the kitchen .

I hurriedly followed and explained: "My mother...she just casually asked about her boyfriend...not..."

"I know... I didn't ask what you said to Auntie..." Xia Haoyu turned his back to me, playing with the spinach he bought in his hand, and said while washing it.

"No," I explained hastily, "I just haven't figured it out yet, how to tell her..." The more I explained, the more confused I became, Brother Yu must have heard what my mother and I said, otherwise why would he have such an expression?

"Duo Duo, don't be nervous, I didn't ask what you said to Auntie..."

"Actually, mom just told me about my brother..." Fortunately, he didn't hear it.

"Oh, so that's the case. Auntie is talking about Lin Kejia, right? The last time Wen Hao passed by his school on business, I specially asked him to send some fruit to him. Guess what Lin Kejia said?" Xia Haoyu turned off the faucet and turned his face away. looked at me and said with a smile.

When he smiled like this, I was even more afraid. At this time, I would rather he looked at me with anger on his face. I really can't adapt to his smile like this!

"How...how did you say it?" Link Kejia, you crow mouth, don't say the wrong thing!

"How did Wen Hao tell me when he came back..." Xia Haoyu looked at the gas that was boiling, "Oh, I remembered... Lin Kejia said, let Wen Hao thank Zhang Youze, a lot, Zhang Youze has met his younger brother , when is this?"

"Brother Yu, listen to my explanation..." If you don't explain it now, when will it be!I stepped forward and walked up to Xia Haoyu, lowered my head and did not dare to look into his eyes, and said, "Last time, Lin Kejia made a mistake at school and broke the bridge of the nose of a classmate. I was still in city b at that time. , did not come back, Zhang Youze knew that I was in a hurry, so he drove me to the hospital..."

"And then?" Xia Haoyu said indifferently.

"Then I owed Zhang Youze medical expenses, pawned the necklace, and returned it to him..." Saying this doesn't seem to arouse someone's sympathy, I have to add some words that arouse sympathy, "At that time It's urgent, the parents of classmate Doudou still want to take me and Lin Kejia to the police station, I don't know what to do, in desperation, Zhang Youze paid for our medical expenses, and I owe him money..."

"kindness?"

"Of course you have to pay back the money immediately. You know me and don't like to owe people money, so... that's why I pawned the necklace."

"Oh." It was another neutral sentence.But I could feel his eyes flicking back and forth twice on my body, but I didn't dare to meet that gaze.

"Later you also know that I pawned the necklace behind your back... But Brother Yu, the owner of the seafood restaurant said that the necklace is only worth 10,000+. When I went to the pawn shop, they gave me 20. The remaining [-] is in the card, I... I haven't moved a penny."

"Oh..." It was a neutral tone again! "It turns out that Duoduo owes money to outsiders, let me tell you... Duoduo is not such a greedy person..."

"Yes, Brother Yu is right!" Although the word "outsider" sounds a bit awkward, it's fine as long as someone is not angry.

"Then what did I hear when I walked in... about my boyfriend?"

"Oh, call? My mother asked me if I had a boyfriend, and asked me to take him back to show her if I had a boyfriend. Aren't these two days just the New Year's Day holiday? I just agreed, and then... you will come back Already." The more he explained, the worse he got, his palms were sweating.

"Oh."

"Brother Yu, I actually like that necklace very much. I wanted to explain it to you, but..."

"Auntie asked if you have a boyfriend?" Xia Haoyu asked me calmly.

"Yes, my mother asked me."

"You told your aunt that you're going back to live for a few days?"

"Yes, I plan to go back after two days." I answered truthfully.

"Auntie let you have a boyfriend to take back to show her?" Xia Haoyu continued to ask me.

"Yes, didn't I already tell you?" No... there must be something wrong?I raised my head and looked at Xia Haoyu, his smile was the same as before, but why, I felt like I said something wrong.

"Duo Duo, you said it yourself. I'll arrange things in the afternoon. We'll visit Auntie tomorrow."

"This one……"

"En?" Xia Haoyu leaned down and looked at me, and said, "Didn't you promise Auntie yourself? Hey, why didn't you say it earlier, I wasn't ready, so I was a little nervous..."

Xia Haoyu pinched my face lightly, then turned around and continued to fiddle with the food on the kitchen counter, without giving me a chance to continue explaining.

No...that's not the point, the point is, I'm humbly confessing and explaining the necklace, why...how did he accept it so calmly?

"Brother Yu, about the necklace..."

"It's okay..." Xia Haoyu took a cucumber, quickly put it on the chopping board, took it with a big knife, and said, "It's just a necklace, if you pawn it..."

"That's right, I also earned 10 yuan." I also smirked.

Suddenly, a certain man in front of him slammed a knife on the chopping board, and said with a smile, "Yes, I don't know who opened the pawn shop. A custom-made necklace is only worth 20 yuan, hehe..."

"That's right, the owner of the pawn shop is probably going to be mad..." I also laughed, but after I finished laughing, I felt that my laughter was a bit different from Xia Haoyu's. Just as I was about to speak, there was a bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. , Looking down, someone actually cut the cucumber into even round slices again and placed them on the plate. I heard him say, "Do you like that necklace very much?"

"Tell me the truth?"

"necessary."

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen such an exquisite necklace when I grow up so big. Moreover, it's the first gift we got from working together..." Remember, the latter sentence is the key point.

"I see." Xia Haoyu nodded and did not speak again.

I let out a long sigh of relief when he turned around, and quickly ran indoors, glanced at the mobile phone in front of the window, opened the phone book, and sure enough, Zhang Youze's number was gone...

It's a sin, it's a sin... Although this matter is over, what should Xia Haoyu do if he wants to see my old lady?Although it is said that the ugly son-in-law still needs to meet his mother-in-law, but if my old lady knows that Xia Haoyu is a bar owner, how will she pass this test?

No, I have to find Wei Liang's imaginary countermeasure!

When I checked the phone again, I suddenly found that there were several unread messages displayed on the phone. When I opened it, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number.

"Duoduo, it's me, why didn't you answer my call?"

"Duoduo, are you angry with me? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken you there. Is Brother Yu angry?"

"Duoduo, I'm Luoluo, can you please send me a message? I'm still in Philadelphia, can we meet up when you have time?"

I didn't know who sent the message until I saw the last one. Looking at the date displayed on the message, it was actually sent yesterday and today.

Luoluo... I immediately thought of the long-haired beauty in black silk and driving a sports car. Some impressions swirled in my mind. Why do I feel like we have met many times.

Could it have something to do with the week I was wondering about?Am I forgetting something important?

So, I replied to the message and asked her if she was looking for me for something. Soon Chen Luoluo's message came back. I opened it and saw this sentence: "Brother Yu did that for you, don't you Think about it, I can't see you in the last two days, and I'll go there when you feel better."

Wait for me to feel better?Brother Yu did all that for you?What exactly is going on?

"Duo Duo, it's time to eat..." Xia Haoyu's voice sounded in the living room, I quickly turned off the phone, and walked towards the living room...

I need to talk to Wei Liang about this matter, why do I always have a feeling that there are many things happening outside but I am kept in the dark?
