The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 62: One dares to accompany, one dares to bring! (Two in one, 55)

Upon hearing the manager's words, Chen Mo glanced at Du Zixi and said, "It won't turn into a meal for two, will it?"

Du Zixi smiled and said, "I don't think so. If my father had that intention, he would have informed me in advance. This is his gratitude banquet for you, there won't be any other ulterior motives."

"That's good," Chen Mo nodded.

"From what you're saying, it seems like you don't really want to have a meal for two with me," Du Zixi pretended to be angry.

After becoming familiar with Chen Mo, she still respected him, but there was no longer the awkward politeness that made their interactions distant. So she treated him like a friend, occasionally joking with him.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "How could that be? The chance to get close to a beauty, how could I not want it? I'm just afraid that there might be surveillance cameras or something here. If I behave rudely and get photographed, wouldn't that be disastrous?"

"Haha, you should be careful," although Chen Mo spoke cautiously, it was obvious that he was joking. Du Zixi and the general manager of Du Yuan Restaurant beside her didn't take it seriously either, they just laughed on the side.

At this point, the general manager of Du Yuan Restaurant already knew Chen Mo's identity. Du Renyuan had called him again just now to inform him in advance, fearing that he would have a bad attitude and neglect Chen Mo.

Since he learned of Chen Mo's identity and found that his young miss was very close to this divine doctor, the general manager of Du Yuan Restaurant naturally didn't dare to neglect him.

At this point, he already regarded Chen Mo as the son-in-law of the Du family, and not just an ordinary son-in-law who was trying to climb up.

So he treated Chen Mo with great respect.

As Chen Mo entered the hotel, this time the system prompt didn't scream, indicating that there shouldn't be many people in the hotel at the moment, and there should also be very few high-ranking units inside.

Chen Mo didn't really care about this.

Soon, the general manager of Du Yuan Restaurant led Chen Mo to the designated private room.

This private room was only opened when the Du family visited.

The interior of the private room was decorated in a typical Chinese style, elegant and solemn.

Landscape paintings and calligraphy works hung on the walls, revealing a strong cultural heritage in the strokes of the brush.

The redwood furniture was finely carved, appearing simple and grand.

The entire private room was filled with a faint scent of wood and ink, a natural fragrance that was refreshing.

A huge redwood dining table was placed in the center of the room, covered with exquisite porcelain and silver chopsticks.

Flowers and incense burners were placed on the table, adding a touch of Zen.

The entire private room was filled with the charm of Chinese style, every detail carefully designed and selected, displaying an elegant taste and connotation.

The general manager of Du Yuan Restaurant stopped at the door, made a gesture for Chen Mo and Du Zixi to enter, and only followed them in after they entered, indicating Chen Mo's seat.

This seat was located on the west side of the room, facing east, the seat of honor for guests.

Only distinguished guests would be arranged in this position.

As Chen Mo took his seat, Du Zixi looked at the general manager of Du Yuan Restaurant and said, "Manager Fang, you can instruct the kitchen to start serving."

If it were any other time, Manager Fang would definitely be puzzled as to why Du Renyuan hadn't arrived yet, but they were already starting to serve.

But today, he had already received a letter from Du Renyuan in advance, stating that the main focus was to make Chen Mo comfortable. Chen Mo hadn't had lunch yet, so he must be starving by now. Therefore, there was no need to wait for him and Du Zihang to arrive before starting to serve.

Fang Ping also immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and instruct the kitchen right away."

After Fang Ping left for a while, Du Renyuan and Du Zihang also arrived.

And after them, another man came in.

"Dr. Chen, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Du Ziteng, the second child of my father. I heard that your miraculous healing hands cured my father's stubborn illness. I'm not good at expressing myself and there aren't many words of gratitude I can say, so I'll just do this as a gesture of respect."

After saying that, Du Ziteng poured a glass of Maotai and drank it all in one go.

Chen Mo glanced at Du Ziteng's appearance and couldn't help but say that the children adopted by Du Renyuan were all good-looking.

Du Zihang was quite handsome, with a dignified and trustworthy aura emanating from him. His whole person exuded the temperament of a reliable man.

Du Ziteng, on the other hand, was different. His handsomeness had a bit of a rogue charm to it.

From his speech and demeanor just now, one could see his somewhat mischievous personality, which matched his appearance quite well.

"Ziteng, what kind of words are these? Father hasn't even toasted yet, and Dr. Chen hasn't had a sip of wine, but you've already drunk it?"

Du Zihang scolded Du Ziteng.

"Big brother is right, I was too impulsive. Dr. Chen, please don't mind."

"It's nothing, I appreciate the character of Brother Ziteng." Chen Mo smiled and said.

While speaking, Chen Mo glanced at the label on Du Ziteng's head, another Metahuman. There wasn't much benefit to be gained from him, which made Chen Mo slightly disappointed.

Seeing that Chen Mo wasn't angry, Du Zihang also breathed a sigh of relief. As the three of them sat down, he explained, "I'm sorry, there are only the four of us in our family in Shanghai, and our two siblings are outside. They are also very grateful for your treatment of our father."

"It's alright, I don't mind these formalities. Everyone can be casual, there's no need to treat me as an honored guest. I'm more used to being relaxed. Just eat and drink like you would with your own family."

When Chen Mo said this, the three people in the room immediately looked at Du Zixi.

They were used to reading between the lines, and it seemed that Chen Mo's words meant that he wanted to be a part of the family. Naturally, their gaze turned to Du Zixi.

If Du Zixi responded positively, then Chen Mo would become the son-in-law of the Du family.

Of course, they didn't really sacrifice Du Zixi for the sake of the family's interests.

Du Renyuan had said long ago that his children were free to fall in love, and he wouldn't let them enter into any marriage for the sake of benefits. However, he would still confirm the character of the person they chose.

Chen Mo's level was naturally appreciated and satisfied by Du Renyuan. And seeing that Du Zixi didn't reject Chen Mo at all, Du Renyuan naturally wanted to make things work.

With Du Zixi finding a good home, the Du family would also gain a strong ally.

Where else could such a good thing be found?

So the three of them all felt that Du Zixi could seize this opportunity.

Seeing the expressions of the three, Du Zixi smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Let's get ready to eat."

With these words, the three understood that Chen Mo's words didn't have any hidden meaning, he just really wasn't used to them being too polite.

The three of them were quite calm about Chen Mo's performance that followed.

In this way, after a meal, it can be considered a satisfying gathering for both the host and the guest.

After having lunch, the Du family entertained Chen Mo again for afternoon tea and a chat. Time flew by, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Mo prepared to take his leave. This time, he gained favor with Du Zixi and unexpectedly received an SSS Level gift package, making his trip worthwhile.

During the meal, Chen Mo tasted the delicious fruits provided by the restaurant and thought they tasted good. Thinking about the fruits he needed for his daily tasks, he directly said to Fang Jingping before leaving, "Manager Fang, do you still have these fruits here? I want to take two catties with me."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's request, Manager Fang was initially taken aback, but when he saw Du Renyuan's gaze, he immediately smiled and said, "Of course we have them. Don't just take two catties, we have twenty catties."

"No need for so much, I only want two catties."

"Alright, I'll have someone wash them for you immediately and pack them up."

After getting the fruits for free from the Du Yuan Restaurant, Chen Mo no longer needed to buy them outside. The restaurant always had fresh and good-quality fruits. Chen Mo asked them to pack two catties of good-quality fruits and took them home. There was also Mu Xiyue at home. She had never really eaten anything good in her life, so Chen Mo thought it would be a good idea to bring these luxurious fruits home for her to taste.

"Since you like to eat these, feel free to come to me anytime. I'll treat you to them every day," Du Zixi said with a smile.

"With a beautiful woman treating me, the fruits should taste even sweeter," Chen Mo replied with a smile.

Seeing the slightly flirtatious conversation between the two, Du Renyuan, Du Zixi, and Du Ziteng all smiled and looked at Chen Mo, as if they were looking at their future son-in-law.

With such a conversation, there was definitely a chance.

After Manager Fang had someone wash two catties of fruits, Chen Mo was driven home by Du Zixi.

After Chen Mo left, Du Renyuan returned to his dominant posture from his previous appearance as a good person.

"I heard that during the time I was lying down, many people made things difficult for you. Is that true?" he asked Du Zihang and Du Ziteng beside him.

"Some uncles and elders have been more cautious in their work, repeatedly checking some steps. But there haven't been any excessive obstacles. I think we should let this matter go," Du Zihang replied.

"Hmph, do they dare to try something more excessive? It's impossible to let it go. Since I can't stand in the forefront, now that I've stood up, I will make sure to get back any grievances you have suffered!" Du Renyuan said with determination.

With such filial children, the father naturally loved them.

Du Renyuan's attitude was not angry but imposing, showing his dominance.

That night, there was a turbulent atmosphere within the Qing Gang.

As for Chen Mo...

There seemed to be a faint sign of a bloody battle about to begin.

At this moment, there were two girls in his home.

And in the courtyard of Zhao Yue in Mingyuan Community, Liu Qinlan was also waiting for him to come back.

Suddenly, all five women were gathered together.

After Du Zixi dropped Chen Mo off, she originally planned to take a look at his home along the way, so she casually mentioned that she was thirsty and wanted to have a drink at his place.

Chen Mo didn't refuse either, after all, he thought there was only Mu Xiyue at home.

They had already met at noon, so it didn't matter if they met again.

As a result, just as he was taking Du Zixi home, he saw Zhao Yue and Liu Qinlan talking in Zhao Yue's yard.

When they saw Chen Mo returning, they hadn't even had a chance to greet him before they saw a beautiful woman walking behind him.

This beautiful woman, Zhao Yue, must have known her for a long time, and with Liu Qinlan's identity, she naturally wouldn't be unaware of Du Zixi.

Seeing Chen Mo bringing Du Zixi back, both of them were stunned.

"Mo Mo, you're really amazing. You went out for a trip and actually brought back the pearl of the Du family!" Zhao Yue, after all, was the eldest sister, and she had the right to speak first to anyone.

She immediately went forward and pinched Chen Mo's cheek.

After all, she had just mentioned in the morning that Chen Mo was going to treat Du Renyuan, and it might lead to this beautiful woman's daughter repaying him with her body, and it turned out to be true in the evening.

But she was just joking, never expecting that someone would dare to bring someone along.

Chen Mo smiled bitterly and explained, "Miss Du gave me a ride back, I just got thirsty and wanted a drink of water, nothing else."

"Hello, Sister Zhao." Du Zixi still had a lower status when facing Zhao Yue.

"Just call me Yue Jie, calling me big sister makes me sound old. So you were thirsty, huh? Sister has some good mountain spring water at home, come and have some." Zhao Yue let go of Chen Mo and said with a smile.

Seeing Zhao Yue as soon as she entered the door, Du Zixi felt that it was not good to stay here today, so she immediately said, "I suddenly remembered that I have a bottle of mineral water in my car, so I won't trouble Sister Yue. I'll leave first."

By the way, my father mentioned to me when I came here that there were several projects that our two families could cooperate on, but they were put on hold. I hope we can discuss these aspects again in the future. I hope Sister Yue can convey this message to the uncles of the Yellow Robe Society."

Du Renyuan was not a fool. With Zhao Yue protecting Chen Mo like this, he knew that their relationship was extraordinary.

And some of the things that happened between them were also easy to investigate.

He found that Chen Mo was very low-key when he first came to Shanghai, and he didn't show any of his current medical skills. Instead, he worked odd jobs everywhere, and even had incidents where he was oppressed and had his wages deducted because he was an outsider.

It was Zhao Yue who stood up for him, gave him a cheap place to live, and took care of him.

It must be noted that at that time, Chen Mo had not shown any abilities, and Du Renyuan couldn't help but admire Zhao Yue's ability to judge people.

If he had established a good relationship with this Chen Divine Doctor early on, wouldn't it be easy to bind him now?

But obviously, it was too late for anyone to come now.

At present, in the entire Shanghai, only Zhao Yue was deeply bound to him.

So establishing a good relationship with Zhao Yue was the same as establishing a good relationship with Chen Mo.

Zhao Yue took care of Chen Mo so well because she used to have a younger brother. Later, her younger brother died of a serious illness, and Chen Mo resembled her brother to some extent. So from the moment she saw Chen Mo, she took special care of him.

But during the process of taking care of him, she found that when Chen Mo accidentally saw her revealing a bit of charm, he would be somewhat shy. She was mischievous by nature, so she started teasing Chen Mo on a daily basis.

From being a trusted older sister to becoming a mischievous older sister who enjoyed teasing.

Chen Mo mainly respected Zhao Yue and didn't dare to treat her as a woman he could freely fantasize about, so he tried his best to avoid taking advantage of her whenever there was an opportunity.

As a result, one thing led to another, with one becoming more and more fond of teasing, and the other becoming more and more wary.
