The rent collector became stronger, and he took in a young, energetic woman every day.

Chapter 46 Why is he living such a carefree life after leaving me, surrounded by so many girls?!

Lin Wan was slightly taken aback when she saw Chen Mo.

She never expected that she would see Chen Mo when she went out on a blind date.

Her expression immediately became somewhat unnatural, and she recalled the video of Chen Mo playing the piano that she had seen that night.

Lin Wan still finds it hard to believe that the man who shone so brightly on stage was completely different from the Chen Mo she knew.

So much so that she feels a sense of unfamiliarity when she sees Chen Mo now.

Then Lin Wan began to regret it.

She shouldn't have come to this restaurant with the man next to her.

Because this man's appearance is nowhere near as good as Chen Mo's.

Chen Mo was tall with broad shoulders and regular features, and he stood there clean and tidy.

The man next to her was 1.7 meters tall, with a protruding belly, thinning hair, and oily skin.

If it weren't for the big gold chain he was wearing, and the matchmaker's claim that he owned several properties, including one in a big city, she wouldn't have gone out to dinner with him.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, straightened her back, and slightly raised her chin.

Since they've already run into each other, they might as well face it head-on. In terms of wealth, the man beside her is definitely stronger than Chen Mo.

But in this day and age, it's not about looks, it's about money.

So, she doesn't need to be stage-frightened, does she?

Chen Mo should be the one feeling nervous.

The man next to Lin Wan also noticed her unusual behavior and the brief eye contact between her and Chen Mo.

He frowned, looked at Lin Wan, then at Chen Mo, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two.

"You two know each other?"

Lin Wan nodded, her gaze frank. "He was kind of my ex-boyfriend."

The man immediately smiled, his lips parting to reveal a row of teeth stained yellow with tobacco, his eyes filled with curiosity and amusement at the spectacle.

"Small towns are like this, how can we bump into each other like this? What caused your breakup?"

Lin Wan looked calmly ahead, her tone indifferent.

"We just don't have the same values, so we should break up if we're not compatible."

The man glanced at Chen Mo, his gaze sweeping over him from head to toe with a condescending scrutiny.

Then he smiled, his voice carrying a hint of superiority and sympathy, and said, "He's quite pitiful, coming here to eat all by himself."

Lin Wan followed his gaze and looked around Chen Mo. Sure enough, she didn't see the girls who had surrounded him at the folk music restaurant that day.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

That's correct.

Otherwise, she really couldn't stand seeing so many girls surrounding Chen Mo.

Chen Mo had already turned his gaze away.

From the moment Lin Wan stepped into the restaurant, he only glanced at her before looking away, as if she were a stranger passing by.

He didn't want to linger on Lin Wan and that man for even a second longer.

Looking at it for even a second longer is an insult to your own eyes.

Just then, light footsteps and hushed voices came from the other end of the corridor.

Six girls walked over from the direction of the restroom. After washing their hands, they looked refreshed, their hair was tidied, their clothes were straightened, and they seemed to have touched up their makeup.

Like six small cakes just taken out of the oven, fresh, sweet, and steaming hot.

Six girls lined up in a row, their long, slender legs, encased in black and white stockings and flesh-colored fabrics, swaying gently with the rise and fall of their skirts. A youthful aura wafted over the air, accompanied by the sweet fragrance of perfume.

When Chen Mo saw them, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile, and he waved to them.

Six pairs of eyes lit up at the same time, and their pace quickened.

Xiao Lu was the first to rush to Chen Mo, pick up a tissue from the table and start wiping it.

Coco went around behind Chen Mo, put her hands on his shoulders and started kneading them, tilting her head to look at his profile as she did so.

Xiao Rou stood next to Chen Mo, picked up the apron from the table, stood on tiptoe, carefully put it around his neck, and then tied the back strap into a pretty bow.

Xiao Ning jogged back from the tea station carrying two cups of warm water and carefully placed them in front of Chen Mo.

"Brother Mo, have some water."

Her voice was soft, with a hint of ingratiation.

The other girls also helped Chen Mo rinse the bowls and chopsticks with hot water, set out the tableware, and hand him tissues, keeping them busy.

They had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly, bustling around Chen Mo like six hardworking bees circling a flower.

The other diners in the restaurant all turned to look.

This kind of setup is extremely rare in an ordinary restaurant in a small county town.

One man, six vibrant young women, each one beautiful and charming, who treated him with the same devotion and attentiveness one would show to an emperor.

Lin Wan and the man next to her had just found seats and sat down, facing Chen Mo's table.

The two of them saw this scene at the same time, froze, their mouths slightly open, dumbfounded.

The man next to Lin Wan, in particular, stared wide-eyed, his expression shifting from shock to disbelief.

The look of disbelief turned into one of shame and envy.

He had just said that Chen Mo came to eat alone, and in that condescending tone said, "He's quite pitiful."

What now?

The other party is not a single person.

It's a group of people!

Moreover, they are six beautiful and youthful girls.

Most importantly, these girls were all around him, wiping the table, pouring water, giving him massages, and tying his apron—they were incredibly attentive to him.

The man looked down at Lin Wan beside him.

Lin Wan is indeed good-looking and has a good figure; she looks even more beautiful with makeup on.

But compared to these girls on the other side, they are far inferior.

Moreover, she was clearly a size older than the girls opposite her.

Those girls were eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair and rosy skin, full of collagen.

Although Lin Wan is well-maintained, she looks older than them; they're not even in the same league.

He was just feeling smug about getting a date with Lin Wan, thinking that the woman was pretty and that it would be a good impression to take her out.

Looking at the young women around the man opposite him, he suddenly felt that his sense of superiority was a joke.

Why is there such a huge difference between people?

Lin Wan's expression was more complex than the man beside her.

She recognized the girls.

They were the same few people who surrounded Chen Mo in the video from the Nanshanbei Folk Song Restaurant that day.

A bittersweet feeling welled up in Lin Wan's heart.

Why are you still together?

She originally thought that day was just a coincidence; Chen Mo went to eat, and those young women just happened to be at the same restaurant, nothing more.

But now it seems that things are not as she thought at all.

Their attitude towards Chen Mo was so natural, as if they were a family.

Wiping tables, pouring water, giving massages, tying aprons—these are things that strangers wouldn't do together.

There is clearly a deep relationship between them and Chen Mo.

Lin Wan's fingers clenched slightly under the table. Watching Chen Mo surrounded by beautiful women, she felt even more distressed.

Why is it that he can live such a happy and carefree life after leaving me?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?!

Lin Wan was internally screaming!

She could only find one explanation in her heart.

Chen Mo must have been too heartbroken by my departure, which is why he became so depraved and sought out these shady young girls to fill the void in his heart.

Yes, that must be it.

He loved himself too much, so he couldn't bear the blow and that's why he went down this path.

Thinking this, Lin Wan felt a little better.

The man beside her was looking at Chen Mo with envy.

Lin Wan noticed the change in the man's expression beside her, and her heart felt even more heavy.

She took a deep breath, picked up the menu and held it in front of her, pretending to look at the dishes, but she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

Meanwhile, Coco was massaging Chen Mo's shoulders when her fingers suddenly stopped.

She tilted her head and glanced at Lin Wan's table, then lowered her voice and whispered in Chen Mo's ear.

"Brother Mo, who are those two people? Why are they staring at us?"
