Gu Mochen pulled Xiaobei straight to the seat reserved for him by everyone, settled Xiaobei to sit down, and everyone moved a chair beside his seat, and he motioned her to sit next to him with his eyes .

After sitting down, a young man in a pink shirt with eyes opposite Tan Man suddenly said, "Miss Tan, this is not the first time we have met."

She froze for a moment, completely unable to remember when she had seen this person.

When the man with glasses spoke, there was a kind of eloquence in his tone: "One time, Lawyer Gu was drunk, and I took him home. We met at Lawyer Gu's house, remember? I still call you' Mrs. Gu is coming!"

Tan Man suddenly realized that it was the first day she came to Gu Mochen's house. That's right, he was indeed a man with glasses at that time, but he couldn't remember his appearance for a long time.

Glancing at Gu Mochen next to him, he was sipping tea and had no intention of explaining at all, so Tan Man could only pursed her lips and responded, "It seems that there is such a thing."

"Later, Lawyer Gu said he was single, which made me call the wrong person for my abruptness. I felt uneasy for a long time, but I didn't expect that I was just called too early." He had a smirk on his face, and everyone followed suit.

"No, no, I'm really not." Tan Man waved her hands and immediately explained, "I'm just Xiaobei's psychological counselor."

"You are Xiaobei's psychological counselor?!" The man sitting in the middle raised his voice and exclaimed, "Then Chen Hao is right!"

Tan Man looked helpless, and cast countless help-seeking looks at Gu Mochen, but the other party looked like a melon-eating crowd watching a show. She 'suffered' for a long time under the ridicule and curiosity of the crowd. In the end, Gu Mochen Chencai slowly extended his helping hand: "Okay, if you continue talking, she won't be able to eat anymore, can you talk about something else?!"

"The boss said, how dare we not obey, so stop making fun of the boss lady."

"Xiao Zhi, next time you bring your family, I will definitely not be as polite as last time." Gu Mochen laughed.

It turned out that the man in the middle was Xiao Zhi, a name she had heard from Gu Mochen on the phone.

After a meal, everyone took good care of her. The young female colleague also helped her to serve soup, and Gu Mochen also picked up some vegetables for her from time to time, as if deliberately catalyzing the relationship between the two. Embarrassed.

After the meal, they clamored for the two bosses to invite guests to sing K. Of course, Gu Mochen knew what Tan Man was thinking, so he said, "Go and play, Xiaobei has to go to bed early, so we will go back first, and then we will get the invoice." Come here, I'll reimburse you!"

Everyone applauded.

Tan Man said goodbye to everyone with a smile, led Xiao Bei, and followed Gu Mochen's footsteps.

When getting in the car, Gu Mochen opened the passenger door for her. Tan Man pouted and skipped him, opened the rear door and got in. Sitting with Xiao Bei, she heard Gu Mochen laughing.

After closing the car door, the world finally quieted down.

"Xiaobei, do you think brother is a bad guy?" Tan Man, who was sitting in the row with Xiaobei, asked angrily.

"No, brother is a good man!" Xiaobei replied resolutely.

"Why do I feel that my brother is sometimes very bad?!"

"Brother takes Manman to eat, puts meat on Manman, opens the door for Manman, and sends Manman home. Brother is a good man!"

Unexpectedly, the child was observant and careful, tried his best to defend his brother, and even said a series of sentences in one breath.

Gu Mochen didn't know whether he was pleasantly surprised by Xiaobei's progress, or happy with what Xiaobei said, and suddenly burst into laughter: "As expected of my younger brother, he is powerful and smart!"

When Xiaobei heard that he was being praised, he also laughed along with him.

"I feel like I'm on a pirate ship, and you two are working together!" Tan Man said bitterly, "Gu Mochen, you clearly said that there is no one else."

"There's no one else, they're all my colleagues." He glanced at her in the rearview mirror with an innocent look on his face.

"..." She was speechless, but the lawyer was really eloquent.

Gu Mochen sent Tan Man back to the downstairs of the old community. The car had just stopped, only to hear her say goodbye to Xiao Bei, and then got out of the car and left without saying a word to himself. He couldn't help but curl his lips .

Watching her leave through the car window, and seeing Tan Man who showed her true temperament to herself at this moment, she was really cute.

"Manman forgot to take something!" Behind him, Xiaobei picked up a bag, stretched out his small hand and handed it to him.

Gu Mochen took it, and saw a pile of wool and a few long needles for knitting sweaters from the open pocket, hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xiaobei and said: "You wait for brother in the car, I will return the things to you." Manman will be back."

After getting out of the car, Gu Mochen strode towards the old staircase in the neighborhood, took out his mobile phone and dialed her, wanting to ask which floor she lived on, when the iron door of the house on the first floor suddenly opened, It was Aunt Lan who came out.

The second they passed by, Gu Mochen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

After Aunt Lan delivered the antihypertensive medicine to her mother-in-law, as soon as she went out, she met a handsome face in a suit, and she inevitably turned her head to take another look.

But the moment their eyes met, Gu Mochen quickly turned his head away, and ran upstairs in two or three steps. Aunt Lan looked puzzled and looked at his back twice, but without thinking, she turned and left as if nothing had happened. up.

The phone was connected at the moment when he escaped, and Tan Man had already said 'Hello' several times.

"Which floor do you live on?" Gu Mochen recovered and asked coldly.

"Sixth floor, what's wrong?"

As soon as the words fell, the tall figure had appeared in front of her, and the hand that Tan Man had just dug out the key from her schoolbag was hanging in the air.

Gu Mochen handed her the bag of things in his hand: "I got out of the car."

She didn't remember it until she saw the bag. When she got out of the car, she was so angry that she forgot about it.

"Oh, thank you." Tan Man still looked like she didn't 'forgive' him, and thanked him without sincerity. She thought he would react a little bit, but the other party didn't intend to say anything, and turned around to leave with a preoccupied look. .

Tan Man couldn't help calling him to stop, Gu Mochen turned his head and frowned slightly: "Is there anything else?"

His face was gloomy and cold, and even the tone of his speech was not as soft as tonight. Tan Man was puzzled, but in a few minutes, who offended him?
"What’s wrong with you?"

Gu Mochen, who was standing on the steps, raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "It's okay, Xiaobei is still in the car, I'll go first."

Gu Mochen couldn't take care of other things at the moment, his mind was full of the hasty glance with that woman just now.

It's so similar, except for the slightly fatter figure, some gray temples, the charm between the eyebrows and eyes, and the breath of the body, they are exactly the same as in the memory. I never thought that I would see her again in this life.However, even under the dim light of the corridor, he still clearly saw the strangeness in her eyes.

That night, Gu Mochen had that dream again, that fragmented dream.

He listened to the story in his mother's arms. The warm and soft voice was his favorite lullaby. The elongated shadow of the bedside lamp just shone on the family portrait on the wall, casting a shadow that covered his father's appearance; In a second, time and space change, it is the picture of him frantically searching in the amusement park, crying hysterically, but still can't get a response, and the ears are full of mocking and vicious curses from the mothers of neighbor children, "He is an unlovable person." The child is disobedient, so his mother doesn't want him', 'Because he is not good enough, so baby, we must not play with him', 'A child without a mother, we don't want to play with him',' She doesn't want you anymore, she doesn't want you anymore! '...

Gu Mochen woke up from the dream, sitting in the middle of the big bed, panting heavily, he hadn't had this dream again for more than ten years, he rubbed the center of his brows vigorously, but there were still bursts of tingling pain on his forehead, reminding him repeatedly Looking at him, he is a child abandoned by his mother.

At this time, the bedside clock showed [-]:[-], but he was no longer sleepy. He got up and walked out of the room. He found the pack of cigarettes that had been opened for a long time but hadn’t finished in the drawer of the coffee table in the living room, and lit one in his mouth. Here, I took a deep breath, watching the dots of flames desperately burning and flickering, hoping to burn them together with this gloomy memory...

Early on Monday morning, when Gu Mochen returned to the office, he immediately took out a business card from his business card folder. It was printed with "Zhang Hongtai, General Manager of Shanghai Hongtai Investigation Company". A detective agency, after the lawsuit is over, although there is no intersection, they are still friends.Gu Mochen dialed the other party's phone without hesitation.

Over the years, he never thought of inquiring about his mother. He almost believed the excuse he used to convince himself that she was no longer in this world. The unfamiliar expression suddenly aroused his resentment. His grievances of more than twenty years were like a time bomb, which exploded when she looked at him emotionlessly.At that moment, he suddenly wanted to know what a glorious and rich life she had lived after abandoning her husband and son.

With less than three days left before the new year, red, green and green decorations have already taken over the streets and alleys. On the last weekend of the year, Tan Man was pulled out by Qiao Ning to go shopping and pick up gifts. She finally gave up on knitting scarves. Incompetent manual labor.

"Manman, I just now know that I still have the talent to be a model. Finally, I don't have to worry about losing my job and having nothing to do." Qiao Ning was in a good mood, and excitedly told her about her experience of being a temporary model last night. Part of it was about how professional and charming the driver was.

Tan Man had little interest, and responded to her without saying a word.

"Hey, let me show you the original film I took yesterday, it has not been edited!" After sitting down in a milk tea shop, Qiao Ning took out her mobile phone and insisted on showing her.

Tan Man leaned lazily on her shoulder, biting her straw, while looking at the photos she dialed in her mobile phone. Not to mention, she really captured Qiao Ning in a beautiful and sweet picture, with a bit of the temperament of a girl magazine cover girl .

"Well, yes, it seems that make-up, lighting, angles and equipment are really important!" Tan Man commented pretendingly.

"What, if the model hardware is not good, what's the use of the post-production software!"
