Chapter 1: Reunion ( Part 4)

-“Mosheng, you are so cruel.” Xiao Xiao paused and continued, “I will never forget the way he looked at that time. It was as if he was suddenly hollowed out and extremely desperate. It was unbearable to watch. He was such a proud person, but he actually showed such an expression…”

Mo Sheng was confused by what she heard. Did these things really happen?

“Maybe he feels guilty…”

“Zhao Mosheng, it was you who abandoned him to go to America, so you are the one who should feel guilty.”

“Shaomei, you don’t understand…”

“I have eyes to see.”Mo Sheng stopped talking.

Did everyone think that she had abandoned him? Obviously not!He was the one who said that… He said he didn’t want to see her again, he said he would rather never have known her, he told her to get as far away from him as possible…It was obviously him!

After bidding farewell to Xiao Xiao, Mo Sheng walked on the streets in early summer, Xiao Xiao’s words still echoing in her mind.

“He has been alone ever since… He Yimei? Isn’t she his sister?”

They didn’t end up together, so why did she leave back then?Why would he say that?

She opened her palm and saw a piece of paper lying firmly in her hand with the address of “Yuan Xianghe Law Firm” written on it.

Xiao Xiao had said, “Maybe you need it.”She hadn’t come here on purpose; she was just passing by.

But she was already standing in “Yuan Xianghe Law Firm” after all.

The lady who received her smiled apologetically. “Lawyer He is not in the office. Do you have an appointment?”

Mo Sheng couldn’t tell whether she felt more disappointed or relieved. “No.”

“What do you want to say? I can tell him for you, or…” The lady looked at the clock.

“Wait here for a moment; Lawyer He will be back soon.”

“Oh, no thanks. I’ll come next time.” Mo Sheng took two steps and turned back.

“This is Lawyer He’s wallet. Please pass it to him for me. Thank you.”

This was the result.The bond had always been shallow, but the love was deep.

“Mo Sheng, what are the differences between working abroad and working in China?” It was almost time to get off work, and the people at the magazine had no intention of working, so they suddenly asked during a casual chat.

“Uh.” Mo Sheng looked around and saw that the boss was not there. “The salary is much higher.”

Strange! The colleagues who couldn’t eat the grapes immediately expressed their disdain.

“Have you ever been discriminated against there?

“”A little.”

“Actually, there’s nothing to worry about. Hong Kong people still look down on mainlanders!” Dabao had deep feelings about this after returning from Hong Kong.

“When you really encounter such a situation, you won’t be so open-minded. One time, my boss said in front of all my colleagues that there are no real artists in China. I was very angry when I heard it. I had never felt so truly Chinese. I pointed at the foreign old man’s nose and said, ‘What do you know about Chinese art? When we Chinese were playing with art, you Americans didn’t even know where to get by.'”

“So cool! So dignified!” Her colleagues clapped their hands and praised her endlessly, then asked her in unison, “What excuse did you use to get fired?”

“…” Mo Sheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Although the American was arrogant, his size was proportional to his body. Then one day, the boss actually came to me with a study kit that he got from somewhere and asked me to write a few Chinese characters. He said he wanted to hang it in the living room.”

“Wow, is this true?”

“Mo Sheng, can you read your handwriting?”

“Ha, I showed off my unique skills like Zheng Banqiao. I poured all the ink on the rice paper and then pretended to scribble for a long time, which made those Americans stunned and amazed. But to be honest, if I hadn’t written those words myself, I would never have been able to tell what they were.”

“What did you write?”

“You are a barbarian!” Puff! A colleague spit out tea.Amidst the laughter, someone called out from a far.

“Mo Sheng, someone is looking for you.”

Mo Sheng turned around, and the gossipy little girl known as the Flower Fairy—the Flower-crazy Fairy—ran over.

“In the reception room, there is such a handsome, cold, and charming man. And at first glance, he is the kind of young urban elite with a successful career. Ah Sheng, you just returned to China and have already hooked up with such a good guy. You are really something.”

If you could believe the Flower Fairy’s words, even pigs could fly in the sky. Generally speaking, her words should be divided by two, and sometimes they could be multiplied by negative numbers.

But Mo Sheng was very curious. She had just returned to China and didn’t know anyone. Who would come to see her?She never thought it would be him!The handsome man standing in front of the French window with his back to her in the reception room turned out to be He Yichen. When he heard the door open, he turned around and shot his cold eyes at her, his expression calm and without any fluctuations.

The Flower Fairy was not exaggerating after all. He was indeed handsome and imposing. The well-tailored suit accentuated his tall and upright figure. He was as confident and calm as before, but with a more domineering aura.She was completely speechless.

He nodded calmly and unhurriedly. “Ms. Zhao.”

Miss Zhao?Mo Sheng really wanted to laugh, but it was too difficult.

“Mr. He…”Mo Sheng pointed to the chair from a distance and said, “Please sit down.”
