Chapter 1145: Chapter 856: Astonishnt
Next morning.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue got up early.
They headed to the restaurant.
As soon as they arrived, both were stunned.
To their surprise, Xiao Xun, who is rarely seen, was in the restaurant, elegantly dressed, with a variety of hot homade dishes on the table.
“Mother?”
Qian Chengxue was at a loss.
In fact, not only was Qian Chengxue surprised, but her siblings, including Lin Xiaoyu, were also shocked.
Su Mo imdiately turned to Lin Xiaoyu, silently asking what was happening.
Lin Xiaoyu shook her head, indicating she was equally puzzled.
At this mont, Xiao Xun walked straight to Su Mo and, slightly choked up, took his hand and said.
“Su Mo is up, co have breakfast, I made all of this, try it.”
“Uh, well…”
Su Mo was dumbfounded.
Before he could react, he was pulled by Xiao Xun to sit at the dining table.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoyu and the others left the restaurant. Even a fool could see that Xiao Xun was hosting Su Mo and there was no need to linger.
“Well, mother-in-law, I can serve myself.”
Su Mo swallowed nervously, saying awkwardly.
“You look so thin, have so Lotus Seed Snow Jelly.”
Xiao Xun ignored Su Mo’s words, directly serving him a bowl, afraid he might refuse.
Qian Chengxue stood stunned, completely puzzled, as if the world had beco surreal.
At this mont, Su Mo truly felt what it ant to be overwheld by unexpected favor.
The contrast was really too much to handle.
He then noticed Qian Chengxue standing behind and quickly said, “Xue’er, co join for breakfast.”
Hearing Su Mo call for Qian Chengxue, Xiao Xun turned and approached her.
As Xiao Xun ca forward, Qian Chengxue’s heart couldn’t help but tense up.
“M-Mother.”
“Co join us.”
To her surprise, Xiao Xun smiled and said.
Qian Chengxue hesitated montarily, wondering if she’d heard wrong, then responded.
“Okay.”
She then moved to the table and sat down.
“Eat.”
Xiao Xun, unusually generous, served Qian Chengxue a bowl of Lotus Seed Snow Jelly as well.
Qian Chengxue reached out to accept it, her eyes moistening.
Seeing this, Su Mo’s expression beca more astonished. Suddenly, a sense of foreboding lingered in his heart.
But Su Mo quickly returned to his usual deanor.
After serving Qian Chengxue, Xiao Xun sat in front of Su Mo, watching him eat silently.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly felt oddly strange.
Feeling uncomfortable, Su Mo hurriedly ate his breakfast and finished in a few bites.
“Why don’t you eat more? Are you full?”
Xiao Xun asked, concerned.
“No, no need, I’m full, I should go for a morning run.”
Su Mo replied with an awkward smile, then quickly got up and left.
Watching Su Mo’s departing figure, Xiao Xun smiled faintly.
“Mother, I finished too, I’ll head out.”
Seeing Su Mo leave, Qian Chengxue also finished her Lotus Seed Snow Jelly and got up respectfully.
“Alright, go ahead.”
Xiao Xun smiled and replied.
Qian Chengxue then left the restaurant.
Once alone in the restaurant, Xiao Xun picked up a handkerchief and wiped her moist eyes, her face showing a comforting smile.
Though it was a simple eting, it was the happiest day of her life.
“I never thought the two kids have grown so much….”
————–
In the manor, Su Mo ran outside, breathing a sigh of relief, feeling much lighter.
The restaurant’s atmosphere had really been suffocating for him.
And the more he thought about Xiao Xun’s unusual behavior, the more his brows furrowed, his heart filled with unease.
At this mont, Qian Chengxue chased after him.
“Su Mo.”
Su Mo turned to see Qian Chengxue following him, surprised, “Why did you co out too? Didn’t you eat more?”
Qian Chengxue shook her head, showing a hint of concern, she said.
“Su Mo, I feel my mother’s ntal state is really off recently, like she’s a different person.”
“Uh, the contrast is indeed stark.”
Su Mo was also at a loss for words.
“Do you think my mother’s mind might be troubled? Do you mind?”
Qian Chengxue worriedly said.
Su Mo paused slightly, quickly comforting her, “What are you imagining? How could there be a ntal issue?”
“Then what’s going on?”
Qian Chengxue was utterly confused.
“Maybe she suddenly figured sothing out.”
Su Mo replied, pretending to be relaxed.
“Really?”
Qian Chengxue’s eyes brightened.
“Sure, stop imagining things, isn’t this a good thing.”
Su Mo said affirmatively.
“Okay, not thinking about it anymore. Su Mo, weren’t you going to Demon City for a visit? Since there’s nothing happening now, let’s drive there.”
Hearing Su Mo’s words, Qian Chengxue stopped worrying and smiled brightly.
“Alright.”
Su Mo nodded in agreent. Perfect to take her out for so fresh air.
…
Hours later.
A sleek silver car landed near the new village by the interstellar airport in Demon City.
“Is this the place?”
Qian Chengxue curiously looked around, surrounded by brand-new residential buildings.
“This is it.”
Su Mo replied, feeling cheerful.
“Looks nice, not as bad as you described.”
“That’s because this was later relocated and rebuilt. Not everyone has moved here yet, see that old building at the very center that’s been fixed up? That’s my ho.”
Su Mo pointed to a repaired ancient building far away, though it was old, it stood in an independent manor, appearing quite peculiar.
“Hmm.”
Qian Chengxue nodded.
“Let’s walk in.”
Su Mo opened the car door and stepped down.
Qian Chengxue turned off the ignition and took out the car key, following Su Mo inside.
As soon as they stepped into the new village.
An elderly lady saw them and exclaid with joy, “Everyone co out, the landlord is back.”
Suddenly, neighbors from all around rushed out.
Seeing Su Mo, they all shouted excitedly.
“Su Mo!”
“Su Mo, you’re finally back.”
…..
“Hello everyone!”
Su Mo waved and greeted the neighbors with a smile.
“Wow, haven’t seen you in years, even more handso, is this your girlfriend? She’s so beautiful.”
“That’s indeed Su Mo.”
…
“Not bad, let introduce you, this is my fiancée, her na is Qian Chengxue. This is Second Aunt, Uncle Zhao….”
Su Mo introduced happily.
“Hello everyone.”
Qian Chengxue politely greeted everyone.
“Is this Su Mo’s fiancée? Doesn’t look quite the sa as the last one he brought, but this one is prettier.”
A neighbor girl said in confusion.
The lively atmosphere froze instantly.
Su Mo’s expression stiffened, thousands of cursing thoughts ran through his mind, busted!
The gathered neighbors all seed a bit uneasy.
They also realized suddenly that it seed to be a different person, quietly murmuring.
“Right, looks like it’s soone else? Could it be he’s changed girlfriends?”
“Su Mo isn’t that kind of person, if it changed, it must be because of the other side.”
“True, true.”
…
Qian Chengxue smiled warmly and said to Su Mo, “Who was it last ti?”
“Cough, let explain, Lin Zinuo happened to visit last ti.”
Su Mo replied, filled with survival instincts.
“Really?”
Qian Chengxue smiled even brighter.
“Ah, Su Mo, I suddenly rembered I left the gas on at ho.”
“I also just realized I need to pick up the kids.”
“I should be going then.”
…
The neighbors who had gathered quickly scattered.
