Call him uncle

  The two of them chatted excitedly, sometimes Su Yun laughed so hard she couldn't catch her breath. When they got to the exciting part, their voices rose, if it were in the past, Su Jianhao would definitely not be too happy and scold her a few words, but now Su Jianhao didn't dare say anything.

  Seeing Gu Mo sitting there with no expression on his face, that strong aura made Su Jianhao, who had lived for half a lifetime, feel a little intimidated.

  Su Jianhao made an effort to chat with him, "Has work been busy lately?"

  "It's fine." Gu Mo said calmly with a cool expression.

  "You're still young and inexperienced, so you might make some minor mistakes, please be more tolerant."

  "She's fine" is still a simple answer.

  "Hehe" seemed like they couldn't talk about anything in common, Su Jianhao felt anxious.

  Su Song sat beside him, staring at Si Mian, and kept asking in his heart, is this still the little oil bottle that followed his stepmother to get married?

  Si Mianzhen has a feeling of turning over and becoming the master, this taste is really good, no wonder those who have risen to high positions will return to their humble beginnings.

  Seeing Su Song's shit-like face, she felt particularly satisfied.

  ……

  After dinner, Si Mian and Liu Zilan talked in the bedroom. "Mom, after I leave, will you be okay?"

  "Alright, don't worry, look at me, I've even gained weight," Liu Zilan patted her hand. "I'm your stepfather's wife after all, and he cares about saving face so much, he won't embarrass me in front of others, he'll still give me the respect due to me."

  Cai Mian carefully looked at Liu Zilan all around and found that nothing was wrong, so he felt a little more at ease.

  Liu Zilan actually always felt guilty towards this daughter, her care was far from enough, but her energy was limited. Su Jianhao reminded her to pay more attention to Su Song's side, and in the future, he would be the backbone of the family. For the sake of this son, Liu Zilan paid a lot of heart and blood, so she neglected her own biological daughter.

  But now that she's married so well, her heart feels a little more at ease, heaven has compensated this poor daughter of yours.

  "Knock knock knock", the sound of knocking came from the door, Liu Zilan went to open it and saw Gu Mo standing outside, "It's Gu Mo, come in quickly".

  "Mom, don't worry about it, it's already 10 o'clock. She still has work tomorrow and we should head back first."

  Upon hearing Gu Mo's voice, Si Mian walked over to the door, "It's already 10 o'clock, time really flies"

  "Alright, I'm going home." Gu Mo held her hand and then looked at Liu Zilan and said, "Mom, come visit us when you have time."

  "Good." Liu Zilan nodded.

  "Wait, I'll go get something." Si Mian let go of his hand and ran to the corner room. Gu Mo said, "I'll go take a look at her," and followed him in.

  Pushing open the door of the room he had lived in for seven years, Si Mian saw that although the room was small, there wasn't a speck of dust on the table, and his heart warmed up, knowing that his mother must have been regularly cleaning it.

  She took out an iron box from the cabinet, opened it, and inside were several yellowed photos. She picked up the first one, which was a photo of three people, her riding on Da Wei's shoulders, all smiling happily.

  Take it when it's an idea.

  Gu Mo pushed open the slightly ajar door and when he saw the layout of the room, his heart suddenly felt somewhat unwell.

  It can't be called a room at all, it should have been a storage room before, the layout is very small, with only a single bed, desk and bookcase inside, and there's not even enough space left to turn around.

  Si Mian heard the voice and turned her head to look at him, "How did you come here?"

  "You're staying here?" Gu Mo frowned, looking more and more displeased.

  Isn't Su's family a wealthy one? Isn't Su Jianhao being quite good to her on the surface? Why is the actual situation completely different.

  "Yes, small as it is, but all five internal organs are complete, haha" Si Mianman smiled carelessly.

  Just now he walked over, Su's family obviously still had other empty rooms, why didn't they give her a room with more space, instead giving her this small room.

  "The window is so small that I can't even stick my head out. The sunlight can't shine in, what's the difference between this and a prison?"

  Xiao Mian put the photos into a box and said slowly, "It's okay, this way even if I get angry again, I won't impulsively jump off the building to kill myself."

  "He's gone" Suddenly, Gu Mo was very annoyed. He knew that being a drag on others would be tough, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult, like a small grass living in the cracks, living so humbly.

  He wanted to get angry, very much so, and there was a surge of anger in his heart, but seeing her making the best of a bad situation and still keeping an innocent heart, he couldn't get angry after all.

  In short, he was deeply uncomfortable in this dilemma.

  She felt his emotions change, and when she looked up, he seemed to be angry. She didn't understand until the heartache flowed out of his eyes, then she realized.

  She walked up to him, raised her head and said, "This room was chosen by me, although it's small, although it's in a corner, at least I have my own space."

  Seeing her like this, what else could he say? Gu Mo sighed and reached out to rub her head, "Let's go home."

  "En" Si Mian hugged the box and walked downstairs with him shoulder to shoulder. When he saw Su Jianhao, Gu Mo's anger still couldn't be held back, and he spoke up for Si Mian, changing his tone, "Uncle Su, I'll go first with her."

  Su Jianhao heard that he had changed his mouth and no longer called him "dad", his heart was shocked, wasn't this clearly drawing a line? He immediately felt that something was wrong.

  "Gu Mo, why call him uncle..."

  He looked at Su Jianhao, his deep eyes filled with extreme anger, but good upbringing still made him restrain himself from losing his temper, and he coldly opened his mouth, "I originally thought I could call you Dad, but I found out I was wrong."

  Ji Mian tugged at his sleeve, indicating that he should just let it go, it's all in the past, no big deal.

  At least this stepfather didn't beat and scold her like in the TV shows, didn't starve her, at least she had three meals a day, and a roof over her head to keep out the rain.

  He took a deep breath, but his face was still dark and gloomy, putting his arm around her shoulder, "Let's go"

  "En" nodded and then said to Su Jianhao, "Dad, we're leaving, take good care of Mom."

  "...Misty..." Su Jianhao seemed to have more to say, but Gu Mo had already wrapped his arms around her and walked away.

  Being held in his arms like this, even if it's cold and windy outside, she doesn't feel chilly.

  All the way, Gu Mo didn't say a word, seemingly still unable to let go of what he saw earlier. Si Mian made funny faces to try and cheer him up, but he still didn't smile.

  "Hey, Uncle Gu, just smile a bit, it's late at night and your expression is making me nervous"

  Gu Mo glanced at her and said, "What's so funny?"

  "Wow, there are many... For example, after wiping your toes, you don't wash your hands and then give me something to eat. Seeing that I'm eating it without any defense, and saying that the taste is good, I really want to laugh." A sly smile spread across his face.

  The car screeched to a halt, Gu Mo stared at her with a serious expression and asked, "Su Mian, don't tell me you really did this"

  "Really done it" nodded heavily.

  "You..." Gu Mo was furious, "I must spank you, you're being too ridiculous"

  He was so angry that he couldn't bear it, Si Mianle was unbearable, and laughed with his waist bent, "Haha......"

  "What are you laughing at?"

  "Dummy, I really did it, but in my dreams." After finishing speaking, Si Wei leaned against the car door. Seeing him staring at her without saying a word, she pouted and said, "Just kidding, okay?"

  "You're getting more and more out of control"

  "Hey, hey!" Si Mian suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since he last went out to play with Xia Ri and the others. So he said, "Uncle Gu, can I go out and play with my friends tomorrow night? I promise I'll be back home by 11 o'clock."

  "Let's see how you perform tonight." Gu Mo gave her a once-over.

  Si Mian was chilled to the bone by his gaze, and immediately put up both hands in front of him, saying guardedly, "Uncle Gu, we're selling art not bodies, just singing little ditties"

  "What's wrong with you?" Gu Mo was fed up with her. "Go back and wash your stinky socks, how long have they been stuffed in your shoes?"

  "You lack humor, you should joke about it and go with the flow."

  Suddenly, the car stopped again, and Gu Mo's deep eyes stared at her, "Really?"

  Cai Mian was startled and her neck almost broke, "Of course not, I'm just kidding with you, we're an old couple, no need for romance"

  Gu Mo burst out laughing, "Coward, I thought you really had a big guts!"

  You're so arrogant, you think you can play around and get away with it just because you're a man.

  …..

  The next day after work, originally Si Rou was planning to go to the night market, it's been a long time since she last went shopping, so she wanted to see if there were any small things she could buy, therefore she especially brought a change of clothes today.

  As a result, Van Sen suddenly appeared and said that everyone had worked hard recently. He invited them to dinner, and before she could react, she was already being carried away by Xia Ri and Fei Xue.

  When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting in a bar, and Xia Ri had been having fun for a long time.

  Tian Heng's prince invited everyone to dinner, the entire sales department was very excited. Waiters brought in box after box of beer, and the coffee table was filled with all kinds of red wine and old white dry wine, whatever you like to drink is available.

  Si Mian walked up to Fang Sen with a cup of wine, sat down and smiled, "Thanks for encouraging me last time, although in the end it was still a bit... you know, ah, never mind. I'll drink this cup, you do as you please."

  "You're a girl and you've done it, can I still be casual? I've also done it" Van Sen drank it all in one gulp.

  On a summer day, they were playing games and saw that Si Mian was gone. They immediately raised their voices to call out to her. Si Mian heard them and said to Fang Sen, "My friends are calling me, I'll go over first."

  "Okay, have more fun"

  Van Sen sat there, saw her passing by, immediately rolled up his sleeves with a look of accompaniment, and couldn't help but smile.

  Fang Jin is a sales department's small assistant manager, who is very serious at work but a total otaku in life. He usually wears glasses every day, but today he got so excited that he took them off directly and said "Let's play again, I don't believe I can't win against you!"

  "Team leader, if we lose again, it won't be just drinking. Go up and dance the steel pipe dance for everyone." Si Mian had one foot on the sofa, his sleeves rolled up, with a strong momentum.

  "Right, drinking is nothing new, let's dance!" The people around cheered.

  "Just dance, don't talk about it, even striptease." Fang Jin slapped his thigh.
