Chapter 137 Gossip
He Mo stepped forward, sat down on the small stool next to the lounge chair, and said with a smile: "Uncle Sun, you misunderstood! My dad didn't ask me to come. I came here today because I want you to do me a favor."
Sun Dasheng breathed a sigh of relief, put down the teacup, and lay back in his chair, seemingly leisurely asking:
"Tell me what it is first."
He Mo moved closer to the recliner and carefully told the story of the class beauty Wu Chaoman. He found that the other party's face became worse and worse, and at the end, there was even a slight sweat on his forehead.
"Uncle Sun, Uncle Sun!" He Mo shook Sun Dasheng's arm vigorously.
"Hey! Hey hey! I'm fine, I'm fine!" Sun Dasheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and avoided his eyes.
His appearance made He Mo more convinced that he knew the secret of the class beauty Wu Chaoman. If he could get his help, he would definitely be able to win the beauty.
But what he didn't expect was that the other party flatly denied that Wu Chaoman had ever contacted him and asked him to leave quickly.
Feeling humiliated, He Mo remained expressionless, and said casually, "If you don't say it, I won't force you. But my dad has been checking the accounts of the store recently. He said that he is going to use some special means to repay some old debts. Otherwise, if everyone doesn't pay back the money, our chess and card room will not be able to operate."
Upon hearing this, Sun Dasheng immediately sat up from the recliner and looked at the empty space under his feet with a painful expression.
Just when He Mo thought he was still not going to give in and was about to add fuel to the fire, Sun Dasheng raised his head and supported his hands on his knees.
"It's nothing to tell you. This was all done by that girl Wu Chaoman herself. I just told her the method."
"what way?"
"That girl had plastic surgery, and it seems like there are some sequelae. She said she became very ugly, but I still think she is a great beauty." Sun Dasheng glanced at He Mo, "You think she is a great beauty too, right?"
He Mo didn't expect the other party to mention him suddenly, and his ears turned red instantly. He cleared his throat and asked the other party not to interrupt and continue speaking.
"She asked me to tell her if there was any way to cure her aftereffects. Frankly speaking, I don't have any way to cure her aftereffects, but I told her that if she wants plastic surgery without any aftereffects, she can look for a plastic surgeon in the underworld. I've heard from other Taoist friends that plastic surgeons in the underworld never leave any aftereffects."
The plastic surgeon in the underworld? He Mo muttered silently in his mouth, without noticing the person coming towards him.
"Hey! Isn't this He Mo, the son of the old He family?"
He Mo raised his head and looked at the handsome uncle beside him with a confused look on his face. He seemed not to know this person.
"What? You don't remember me, uncle? I'm Uncle Wu from Honghui Car Wash. Weren't you and my daughter Wu Chaoman classmates since high school?"
He Mo was flattered that the other party was actually Wu Chaoman's father! Surprised, he quickly greeted the other party.
"Hello, uncle!"
"Hey! Good!"
"Have you been very busy with your professional courses lately? How come you're still out at this hour? My daughter Xiaoman hasn't been home for a while. The last time she came home, our whole family was very happy, especially Xiaoman. She even took the initiative to help out in the store and washed quite a few cars!"
"Really? My dad always says that I shouldn't help out in the store. It seems I need to learn from Xiao Man and help my dad too."
The two then chatted about some things in college and then parted ways.
He Mo glanced at his watch. It was almost time for lunch. His father should be in the chess and card room. Wu Chaoman's father's words just reminded him that he hadn't been home for a long time. Feeling guilty, He Mo set out on the road home.
Just as he arrived at the door of the chess and card room, before he even entered the door, He Mo heard his father's voice.
"Of course my son is amazing. He's never given me any worries about his studies since he was little, and he's so handsome. You guys can only envy him!"
He Guanghui wanted to continue to brag, but was interrupted by He Mo who pushed the door open.
"Dad, I'm home!"
When He Guanghui saw his son coming back, his eyes lit up. He strode to the door and hugged He Mo.
He Guanghui was very happy when He Mo returned home. He ordered a table full of takeout and asked his card friends who had played cards in the morning to stay and have dinner together.
They temporarily removed the mahjong from the table, laid a plastic tablecloth on the table, then placed the food and dishes on it and started eating without any courtesy.
During the meal, He Guanghui praised He Mo more than once, showing off his big son in various ways. He Mo, on the other hand, buried his head in eating with an embarrassed look on his face, not daring to make eye contact with anyone at the table.
"Your little girl Xiaohui is sensible, unlike the girl in Old Wu's family who always thinks about asking her parents for money for plastic surgery." The speaker was Aunt Li from the east side of the street.
When everyone heard this, their eyes were drawn to Aunt Li.
At this time, Aunt Wang next to her chimed in, "Exactly! And the car wash owned by Old Wu was even visited by the police a while ago! Do you remember that car accident in the news? A girl named Chai Xi was in an accident, and her car fell into the river. A male college student happened to be passing by the river and immediately jumped in to save her, but unfortunately, he couldn't save her. The police said that the girl had washed her car at Old Wu's car wash before the accident, so they came to investigate."
Aunt Li's eyes immediately sparkled. She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, "Actually, I was at Old Wu's house that day, chatting with his wife. Xiaoman was there too. Old Wu and his wife were very happy, saying that their daughter hadn't been home for a long time. Xiaoman seemed to know Chai Xi very well. It was Xiaoman who washed Chai Xi's car herself. However, Old Wu probably didn't want to implicate his daughter. When he spoke to the police, he didn't mention Xiaoman at all."
"Since Old Wu hasn't told the police, it means he doesn't want others to know. Why are you still telling others?" asked Uncle Zheng, who was sitting at the corner of the table.
Aunt Li and Aunt Wang exchanged a glance, and Aunt Li replied, "Oh! We're from the same village, how could we possibly harm Old Wu?"
Aunt Wang also chimed in, "Yes, yes! Then let's not talk about it anymore. Let's eat."
He Mo picked up the bowl from the table and put it down again. The delicious food on the table had no appeal to him at all. He pondered what Aunt Wang and Aunt Li said in his mind, and always felt that something was wrong.
Even after he finished his shower and lay down on his 1.8-meter-tall bed, the neighbors' gossip still lingered in his mind.
He Mo took a deep breath, opened Weibo, and searched for the car accident mentioned by Aunt Wang and Aunt Li.
Clicking into the details page of the incident, many people posted photos of the victim in the comment section.
He Mo took a closer look and realized that this wasn't...!
