Standing across the road, Lin Mo looked at the modest and polite old man standing in the Qingyu High School from a distance, his complexion changed, and his heart sank. In the distance, the old man seemed to have seen him too, smiled and saluted him as a gentleman.
Han Zhong, Uncle Zhong.
Lin Mo has known him for a long time, and has met him a few times, and each time they talked about it. Why is he here? Did he know something
A sharp ringing of the end of class brought back Lin Mo's thoughts. Lin Mo took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Shu's number: "Xiaoshu, I have something to do at the moment, so I can't come to pick you up. Can you take a taxi back later?" In order to facilitate contact, after Lin Shu arrived in the capital, Lin Mo bought him a mobile phone.
Lin Shu happened to have a few questions he wanted to ask the teacher, so he obediently agreed: "Okay, shall we have lunch together then?"
"Probably not, I'll make it for you tonight."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, the green light of the pedestrian crossing turned on. Han Zhong walked over with the crowd, stood in front of Lin Mo, and said politely, "Master Lin, can we find a place to chat?"
Lin Mo smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay."
There is a coffee shop with a good environment not far from Qingyu High School. Lin Mo ordered a cup of Mocha, and Uncle Zhong ordered a cup of Blue Mountain. When the waiter brought the coffee, Lin Mo took a sip and asked, "Uncle Zhong, would you like to have a cup of coffee?" What are you talking about with me?"
Uncle Zhong took a sip of his coffee, smiled kindly and said, "Master Lin, don't be nervous, I just came to chat with you today."
Nervous, homely, and simplistic words easily hinted at his intention to come. Should he be worthy of being Mr. Han's right-hand man
Lin Mo's smile remained unchanged: "Really? Well, in two days, I will take Xiaoshu back to my hometown for the summer vacation. Will Uncle Zhong come with us? Although our side is not as prosperous as the capital city, the air is better than here , and the scenery is not bad." Since he said he was talking about home affairs, then he should just talk about 'home affairs'.
Han Zhong's height is similar to Ah Hu's, but his build is much thinner. His hair is well-groomed, and he always has a smile on his face. The son with a fierce face that can stop children from crying at night. However, if you really look closely, there are actually many similarities in the facial features of Ah Hu and Uncle Zhong, but their temperaments are completely different—one puts 'fierce' on his face, and the other puts 'ruthless' on his heart. If he could choose, Lin Mo would definitely prefer to deal with Ah Hu instead of going around in circles with an old fox like Han Zhong.
Han Zhong looked at Lin Mo carelessly stirring the coffee, and couldn't help but think of the second young lady of An's family sitting quietly under the wisteria trellis with a collection of poems and tea many years ago. Under the mottled light and shadow, she was so beautiful mortal. But a few faces are enough to make people unforgettable for a lifetime, no wonder the wife can recognize him at a glance, no wonder the young master...
Looking at the young man who was as calm as water in front of him, Uncle Zhong suddenly didn't want to practice Tai Chi anymore: "I thought you would go find the young master."
Lin Mo looked at his ulterior motives without any fear, and said with a slight smile, "I do have this plan. Yesterday, Han Xun called me to go to country M to play. I originally wanted to go back with him when Xiaoshu was on vacation. I will accompany grandma at home, if there is enough time, I will take Xiaoshu with me to gain insights, and if possible, I will visit grandma’s natal family and fulfill my mother’s lifelong wish.”
Uncle Zhong obviously didn't expect Lin Mo to speak so frankly, as if chatting about family affairs, and easily bypassed the topic, what a little fox.
"I thought you would call the young master cousin."
Lin Mo still had a calm smile on his face: "When I met Han Xun, I didn't know he was my cousin, and I kept calling him by his name. He didn't mind me and I didn't change my words. Besides, are you from M country? Are you used to calling people by their first names?"
That's right, this little guy is young, and he is really good at pretending to be stupid.
Uncle Zhong took a sip of the mellow blue mountain, suppressed his smile and said, "I already know what happened between you and the young master."
This result was already expected by Lin Mo when he saw Uncle Zhong come to him alone. It has been half a year since Han Xun left the capital, and he only came back once during the Chinese New Year. Since Uncle Zhong said that he knew what happened between him and Han Xun, it must be more than a guess. However, what Lin Mo was even more curious about was, since he already knew about it, why did he come to him now? What is the real purpose of his trip? In his previous life, Uncle Zhong didn't come to the capital to help Han Xun take care of his property, but he suddenly appeared in this life. Mr. Han sent his right-hand man to Han Xun's side. What he really wants to supervise is probably not as simple as the industry, right
Lin Mo was silent for a moment, still looking at Uncle Zhong calmly: "And then?"
Uncle Zhong was so choked that he almost forgot his words. Okay, what about the script where the little guy is scared to 'turn pale'
Uncle Zhong couldn't help teasing him, and continued to sullenly said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the master? Are you not afraid that the master will take back the assets that the young master transferred to your father's name after he finds out?"
Lin Mo said: "Actually, I'm also very curious, why Uncle Zhong didn't tell his cousin anything when he already knew so much. As for the funds invested by Han Xun, it's just icing on the cake for me, even if I got it back , and it won’t be a devastating blow to our family, the worst thing is to start all over again. I have already survived the more difficult times than this, so what do you think I have to be afraid of?”
Han Zhong knew that what Lin Mo said was not a lie, so let’s not mention anything else for now, Han Xun transferred the funds to Lin Jian’s name through the underground bank that Han’s family transferred. If the casino wins, you can't find anything if you dig deeper. Unless Lin Jian and Han Xun signed another agreement, all the money really belonged to the Lin family, and everyone said it was a lot. As far as he knew, the young master had never entered into any written agreement with the Lin family.
Leaving aside the point of funding, Han Zhong actually admired Lin Mo very much. He has already investigated the situation of Lin Mo's family clearly, so he knows what Lin Mo said is the "most difficult time". It is really hard for him to imagine that a farm boy who grew up in an ivory tower He actually propped up his crumbling home by himself. Even without the young master's intervention, he has every reason to believe that Lin Mo will definitely not be in the pool in the future. In fact, there is no need for the future, just look at the 'Zhangjia Medicinal Restaurant' opened by Lin Mo in the capital now, a single member-only restaurant, the annual income can be equivalent to many medium-sized enterprises. Lin's Hot Pot Restaurant is following the common people's consumption route, but its posture of blooming everywhere will create considerable wealth sooner or later.
Furthermore, with the resources in Lin Mo's hands, even without Han Xun and the Han family to back him up, he can still find other people to form an alliance. prosper in his hands.
However, from the material level, he really has nothing to be afraid of, but what about the family level
"Let me think about it, aren't you afraid that Mr. Lin and the old lady will know?" Han Zhong was finally satisfied to see the boy's face change. Unfortunately, after a short moment, that delicate face returned to its original calmness.
"One thing, but I'm even more afraid that my cousin will know. If he knows, Axun's life may not be easy."
Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Lin Mo to suddenly mention Han Xun, "Ah Xun's life is not easy"... Yes, Lin Mo is only seventeen years old now, a minor, when he was younger, He is now with the young master. If this matter gets out, the young master's reputation will be ruined. What's more, Lin Mo is Cheng Huanxuan's son, he is the descendant of the An family that Madam has been looking for for half her life, how will Madam deal with herself then? And the most cunning thing about him is undoubtedly that he has seen through himself, that he can't bear to let the young master be "difficult", and has been hiding all this for them all the time.
Uncle Zhong sighed in his heart, getting old, getting old, the kids are only a little older now, why are they so thoughtful
What Uncle Zhong doesn't know is that Lin Mo is not really seventeen years old, he has experienced too many things, even death. It's just a calm debunking, and it doesn't make him flustered.
"Ahu told me, you are the young master... Forget it, everything is over. I watched the young master grow up day by day. If I said something beyond the rules, I always treated him as my own child. He... Suffered a lot of pain that he didn't deserve, and my biggest wish is for him to be happy. I've never seen him be as happy with others as he is with you. His smile seems to melt the sun It's the same..." Uncle Zhong's eyes were full of emotion, relief, and helplessness, "I know that there is sincerity between you and the young master, but this kind of sincerity is not acceptable to everyone. Before you have enough ability to protect yourself, it’s best not to be known by others. I will cover you with the master and wife, and you should pay more attention to the rest.”
If you have never seen Lin Mo and Han Xun get along with each other, Uncle Zhong may also think like Han Zijie that the two are just a youthful and ignorant infatuation when they were young and frivolous. After many years, they may become cinnabar moles or mosquito blood. There is no possibility of continuing. And Uncle Zhong secretly followed and monitored Han Xun and Lin Mo for a long time. Many times, he felt that the two of them didn't look like they had only known each other for a year or two, as if they had known each other and fell in love in the previous life. Such a natural harmony makes people feel that they are born to be together, and it is so harmonious that people can't bear to separate them.
In the early years, Uncle Zhong followed Mr. Han to be a gangster, and then gradually turned the blackness into white with him. During this period, what strange things did he not see? He has seen feelings far more deformed and perverted than same-sex love, he will not make a fuss, and even explained the reason to him when the old man asked him to watch Han Xun and Lin Mo at the beginning. He also hesitated whether to report to the old man, but every time at this time, Han Xun couldn't help but think of Han Xun's bright smile when he looked at Lin Mo. My heart softened involuntarily...
In the past six months, Han Xun returned to country M, and Uncle Zhong did not relax his observation of Lin Mo. Whenever he saw Lin Mo answering the phone, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, Uncle Zhong was always led to raise the corner of his mouth. Such a shallow and knowing smile seemed to have magical powers, and he inadvertently touched those words. A fond memory buried deep in my heart.
That's all, that's all.
Today, Uncle Zhong finally decided to let go. It is fate that the two children can get together. Whether they can go on in the future depends on themselves.
Lin Mo didn't expect Uncle Zhong to say such a thing, he could see that Uncle Zhong really loved Han Xun. Han Xun once said that he regarded Uncle Zhong as an elder like his father, so today, does it mean that the two families have the first elder who is willing to recognize them
"Uncle Zhong, thank you." Lin Mo was sincerely grateful.
Uncle Zhong smiled kindly: "It's not enough to be grateful verbally. I've heard Ah Hu say that your dishes are delicious. Shouldn't you also treat me to a big meal?"
Lin Mo smiled and said: "This is what it should be. It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. How about tonight?"
Uncle Zhong didn't know what politeness was at all: "I thought you would even invite me to lunch."
