After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo's face immediately darkened.

With a sullen face, he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, "You really are something, always bringing up the most sensitive topics..."

Li Huan shrank back, her voice finally softening, and whispered:

"So that means the marriage certificate you posted on your WeChat Moments before was real?"

Chen Mo rolled his eyes at him. "Of course!"

Li Huan touched his nose, and his tone became awkward:

"I never expected that you would get a wife and daughter for free, and suddenly you've overtaken us all."

If Lan Yujuan were just a young woman from another village in his hometown, he would naturally look down on her.

But I never expected that the identity of that young wife would change so quickly!

Not only did she become the wife of her best friend, but she also became the little sister next door whom another best friend had doted on since childhood!

Naturally, Lan Yujuan's status in his heart rose accordingly!

With Qin Zhang acting as an intermediary, Li Huan quickly accepted this fact.

"What, you're not objecting this time?"

Clearly, Chen Mo noticed his good friend's change in attitude and immediately started joking around.

Li Huan glanced at him, then resumed her usual playful and relaxed demeanor.

"This is a wonderful match, why would I object?"

"Don't say that your sister-in-law just misjudged people before, but she has now realized her mistake."

"Even if she's lame... whatever! Whatever makes you happy!"

As he spoke, Li Huan immediately poured out two more cigarettes from the box.

He put one in his mouth and then handed one to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo gently shook his head, and said seriously, a rare occurrence for him:

"This time, I've really quit."

"My daughter said that I smelled of smoke, and it made her dizzy."

Li Huan pursed his lips and reluctantly put the cigarette back in its place.

"Hmph, this time, you really got the better deal!"

Suddenly, he went from being a bachelor to a blessed man with a wife and daughter.

As he spoke, Li Huan leaned closer, gesturing for Chen Mo to take out a lighter and light his cigarette.

"Stop dawdling and light a cigarette."

"Although you acted first and informed me later this time, I'll forgive you for now, out of consideration for your sister-in-law!"

Chen Mo smiled, did as instructed, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and handed it over.

Then, just as Li Huan pouted and leaned in to light a cigarette, the flame went out instantly.

With a mischievous grin, Chen Mo placed the lighter in his hand into Li Huan's shirt pocket and patted it lightly.

"Sweetie, order for yourself. I'm going back to eat at the banquet."

After saying that, he put one hand in his pocket, turned around, and strode towards the banquet hall.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Chen Mo was about to disappear around the corner of the corridor, Li Huan called out to him again.

This time, Li Huan took out his own lighter and successfully lit the cigarette.

"Let me tell you something else, I'm sure you'll be interested!"

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then turned his head slightly and said:

"What is it?"

"If it's not too urgent, let's talk about it later!"

However, Li Huan said directly:

"This matter is very important to my younger brother and sister-in-law."

"If you don't listen today, you might regret it in the future."

Chen Mo sighed and turned back.

"Okay, go ahead and say it!"

After taking a deep drag on his cigarette, Li Huan began to look around.

After confirming that no one else was nearby, he lowered his voice and spoke:

"My sister-in-law's former mother-in-law is sick. I heard it's cancer, and it's quite serious."

Chen Mo bit his lip lightly, then let go.

"Well, and then?"

Li Huan continued, "I heard that my sister-in-law's ex-husband went to work in Africa."

"The Liu family has lost its leader, and the two remaining siblings are constantly at odds."

"I'm worried that, if they're desperate, they'll come back and cause trouble for their younger siblings..."

Chen Mo remained calm and nodded, saying:

"Yes, I know."

This time, it was Li Huan's turn to be unsettled, and he asked in surprise:

"That's strange. How do you know about these things concerning the Liu family?"

Chen Mo raised his hand to scratch the back of his head and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"How could I not know?"

"Because of this matter, the Liu family has already come to our door to make trouble."

"Moreover, the job that Liu went to Africa was arranged by someone I helped find."

Li Huan choked, his expression turning strange, a mixture of sympathy for Liu Zhiyuan and a desire to laugh.

"How could you even think of such a despicable trick!"

Seeing his friend's strange expression, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I dare not take credit for this."

"After all, such a perfect idea couldn't have come up with by me alone."

Li Huan asked instinctively, "Who is it?"

Chen Mo blinked but didn't say anything.

Li Huan understood instantly when he saw the look in his eyes.

"Okay, you two are a perfect match!"

"One dares to dream, the other dares to act!"

"However, on the other hand, that Liu fellow does have some skills."

"He was doing just fine in China, why would he willingly let you command him to go to Africa?"

Chen Mo raised his hand, glanced at the time, and said calmly:

"Everyone has a psychological price point in their heart."

"As long as the price is right, I'll be willing to pay."

"My annual salary plus subsidies amounted to 120 million after tax."

"A five-year contract is signed at once. From the time the contract is signed until the departure date, the salary and subsidies for the first two and a half years will be deposited into the individual's bank card in one lump sum."

"This will allow him to settle things at home and also put his mind at ease before he sets off."

Upon hearing this, Li Huan immediately gasped:

"Three million?"

Even Li Huan was somewhat moved upon hearing this number, muttering to himself:

"Is it really that lucrative to work in Africa now?"

Chen Mo glanced at his friend, then lightly kicked his shin, laughing and scolding:

What are you thinking about?

"Do you really think it's so easy to make money overseas?"

"Putting aside the fact that he does have some technical skills, which are exactly what that position requires."

"More importantly, what if people go abroad and experience problems adjusting to the new environment, language barriers, or lack of access to medical care and medicine?"

"Moreover, that place is not as peaceful as the country. Riots often occur, and pirates frequently appear in the nearby waters."

"Once you leave the country, it becomes extremely difficult to return."

Li Huan chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, I know."

"I was just thinking randomly."

Despite saying that, Li Huan couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.

Chen Mo saw this and roughly understood what was going on.

Just a few months ago, Li Huan was full of energy, always having endless topics to talk about with his wife and children, and his face was always beaming with happiness.

But during this meeting, the sorrow in his eyes seemed impossible to shake off.

Even the gray hairs at her temples have begun to appear.

Chen Mo raised his hand, gently patted his good friend's shoulder, and said sincerely:

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't try to bear it all by yourself."

Li Huan's eyes instantly reddened, and she stiffened her neck and turned her head away. In that instant, her voice even trembled slightly with a nasal tone.

"What could possibly be wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine, don't worry about it!"

Despite saying that, Li Huan didn't dare to look up and meet Chen Mo's gaze until they finished talking and started walking back.

The more abnormal Li Huan became, the more worried Chen Mo felt.

The two walked back side by side, and just as they turned the corner, they were about to return to the banquet hall.

Unexpectedly, a waiter carrying a plate of cold dishes accidentally bumped into Chen Mo.

Although Chen Mo reacted quickly and dodged in time, he still managed to get a handful of cold dishes and soup on his hand.

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir!"

"I'm a new intern, and I'm not very skilled at serving food yet."

"Let me wipe it for you, please, please don't complain about me..."

The waiter was so anxious, he was almost in tears. He grabbed his sleeve and was about to come over and wipe his hands.

Chen Mo frowned slightly and took two steps back.

Then, from one of his pockets, he pulled out a pack of pink cartoon tissues and said as he wiped his face:

"Go ahead and get busy, take your time next time."

Li Huan stood by watching the commotion, and almost burst out laughing when she saw the 1.85-meter-tall man pull out a pack of pink tissues from his pocket.

Chen Mo glanced at his friend and calmly said:

"You don't even have a daughter, what do you know?"

That hit the nail on the head, directly striking at Li Huan's sore spot.

"Hmph! Fine, you have a daughter, so what!"

"Go wash your hands yourself, I'm going back to have my drink."

After saying that, he threw Chen Mo into the aisle, turned around angrily, and went back to the banquet hall.

Seeing that his friend had calmed down a bit, Chen Mo's eyes also showed a hint of a smile.

So he turned around and headed towards the restroom.

Not only the back of his hands, but also his watch and wrist were covered in soup and grease.

Chen Mo took off his watch, casually placed it on the sink, and then began to wash his hands.

As he washed his hands, he pondered what had just happened.

It seems he needs to take advantage of the next couple of days to find out if anything has happened at Li Huan's house recently.

Chen Mo had just washed his hands and was drying them.

Suddenly, a male waiter rushed into the restroom in a panic, shouting inside:

Is Mr. Chen Mo here?

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then immediately replied:

"This is Chen Mo, what's wrong?"

The waiter quickly said, "Mr. Chen, please go out and take a look!"

"Your spouse got into an argument with someone in the banquet hall!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo didn't have time to think and immediately turned and walked out.

As soon as I entered the banquet hall, I saw Lan Yujuan sitting alone in her seat, looking at her phone and smiling foolishly, her thumb turning the pages at a fixed frequency.

It's obvious he's reading a novel again...
