Crazy! The school beauty's mother works as my secretary!

799 Sensible Child

It's 7:30 in the evening.

Lan Ziang went home early today and prepared things.

He received a message from Lan Bing saying that Chen Mo would come to his house for dinner tonight.

Lan Ziang has already cleaned the entrance.

He jumped up from the sofa when he heard the sound of the door lock turning.

When he saw Chen Mo and Lan Bing appear together.

He was still clutching a rag he had just used to wipe the table, with a slightly awkward smile on his face:

"Mr. Chen, Mom, you're back."

He just turned eighteen this year, and there is still a bit of youthfulness in his eyes and eyebrows.

But his eyes lacked the playfulness of his peers and were more cautious and careful.

He was wearing the gray sweatshirt that Lan Bing had bought for him before, which made him look a little thin.

When standing in front of Chen Mo, he subconsciously straightened his back, but he was still half a head shorter than Chen Mo.

"Well, put the vegetables you just bought in the kitchen."

Lan Bing changed her shoes and glanced at him.

"I got off work early today."

"I took a leave of absence."

"Oh? Didn't you go out to play?"

"No no."

Lan Ziang waved his hands quickly: "I read a book at home for a while and cleaned the house. Look..."

He pointed to the bright living room as if presenting a treasure.

The fruit plate on the coffee table was neatly arranged, and even the sofa covers were freshly washed.

Chen Mo changed his shoes and walked in, his eyes sweeping across the living room.

Lan Ziang's face turned even redder, like a student having his homework checked by his teacher:

"Mr. Chen, please sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water."

He turned and ran to the kitchen, his steps so fast that he almost bumped into the dining table, his back revealing obvious nervousness.

Lan Bing looked at him and smiled helplessly at Chen Mo: "Be careful, you are still rash."

During dinner, Lan Ziang kept his head down and ate his meal.

Occasionally, he would look up and see Lan Bing picking up food for Chen Mo, and his eyes would secretly glance at Chen Mo.

Until Lan Bing put down his chopsticks and coughed lightly.

He finally put down the bowl as if mustering up the courage, and placed his hands on the edge of the table, his fingertips trembling slightly.

"Mr. Chen, I... I know I was a jerk in the past. I owed so much debt and even went to your company headquarters to cause trouble and embarrassed my mother..."

As he spoke, his voice was a little choked and his eyes were red:

"My mother told me that you helped me pay back the debt. Mr. Chen, you are our family's benefactor. I..."

He stood up suddenly and bowed deeply to Chen Mo.

"From now on, you'll be my uncle... No, I'll do anything you ask me to do!"

The "uncle" was called out so quickly and loudly that Lan Bing blushed inexplicably.

"Hey, what uncle? Mr. Chen is only a little older."

"It's okay to call me uncle."

Chen Mo waved his hand and looked at his red eyes, which contained guilt and gratitude.

He raised his hand to motion him to sit down. "Don't keep talking about money. This is a loan to your mother. She will have to live in Crown for the rest of her life. What do you think?"

"I...this is a good thing. You respect my mother. No matter what you ask her to do, I will support her 100%!"

Lan Ziang nodded heavily with a determined look on his face.

He was just short of "selling" Lan Bing directly to Chen Mo.

When Lan Bing heard what he said, her face turned red and she felt inexplicably hot.

"I will go to work every day from now on, and then go home to help my mother with the housework. I will never touch those messy things again!"

He looked at Chen Mo with complete trust, even more admiration than when he looked at Lan Bing.

Lan Ziang was determined to cling to Chen Mo's support.

He is indeed very smart.

But his mother Lan Bing was also ready to give him up.

Wait until Lan Ziang finishes cleaning up the dishes and goes into the kitchen.

Lan Bing then said softly, "Boss, I want to send him to join the army."

Chen Mo paused while holding the water cup: "Join the army? At his age, it's just right."

"Ah."

Lan Bing looked towards the kitchen, where she could hear the sound of running water.

"He has an unstable character. If I keep him around, I'm always worried he'll go astray again."

"The strict management in the army can help him understand what the rules are and what responsibility is."

She turned to look at Chen Mo with pleading eyes.

"I've asked someone, and the autumn conscription begins next month. What do you think..."

"That's a good idea."

Chen Mo nodded slightly.

"Boys should practice and get rid of their spoiled tendencies so they can truly grow up."

He remembered Lan Ziang's expression as if he wanted to rip his heart out, and added.

"He's relying too heavily on you right now. Going to the army and being independent for a few years might not be a bad thing."

Lan Bing breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face:

"I think so too. When he comes back, maybe he'll be able to really understand things."

At this time, Lan Ziang came out of the kitchen wiping his hands and heard the words "join the army".

He paused, then hurried over and asked anxiously, "Mom, are you going to send me to the army?"

Lan Bing glanced at him: "Why, you don't want to?"

"I..." Lan Ziang looked embarrassed. He didn't want to go and wanted to follow Chen Mo.

But when he saw Chen Mo's eyes, he knew that the other party also wanted him to go.

Lan Ziang smiled:

"I go."

"I've wanted to go for a long time! Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

He asked Chen Mo for his opinion seriously.

It’s not impossible to serve in the army for a few years and then come back to follow Chen Mo.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded: "Very good."

Lan Ziang's face suddenly became firm: "Okay! Then I'll listen to you and Mom!"

Lan Bing looked at Chen Mo, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes and smiled in tacit understanding.

After Lan Ziang finished his work, he went upstairs to his room, very observant of people's expressions.

Leave some space for Chen Mo and Lan Bing to be alone together.

Lan Bing bit her red lips and whispered:

"Chen Mo, let me give you a massage..."

"I just bought a new set of clothes, so why don't you take a look?"

"..."
