“Tell me who it is, and I’ll leave immediately.”He threw down the bait leisurely.
The security guards wanted a peaceful resolution, so they could only go against their principles and say Lu Momo’s name.
Tang Chao was stunned. It was as if he had not expected it, but it was also as if he had already guessed it. His expression was a little crazy, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.
He turned around and looked at the door. He smiled again and again, and in the end, he only said faintly, “Lu Momo, you’re ruthless enough.”
Tang Chao left. He stuffed the midnight snack he had bought into the hands of the security guards and asked them to give it to Lu Momo.
When Lu Momo received the midnight snack that the security guards had stuffed into her hands, which was still steaming, her heart was suddenly filled with mixed feelings.
When everything quieted down, she returned to the bedroom and lay on the familiar bed. She hugged the blanket and did not feel sleepy at all. Her eyes were open until dawn.
The final destination of that steaming midnight snack was — the trash can.
..
She did not leave the apartment. She called for takeout every day, ate snacks, and watched anime. She passed a few days in a daze.
One morning, the housekeeper had just entered the door and thought that there was a burglar in the apartment!
When she saw Lu Mo walking out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly greeted him. Then, she went to cook and clean the apartment.
After eating the first real meal back to China, when the housekeeper left, Lu Mo took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet and gave it to her, “Auntie, thank you for cleaning the apartment seriously for the past two years. The apartment is exactly the same as when I left. It’s very clean and tidy.”
The housekeeper was terrified and did not dare to accept it. She kept waving her hand, saying that she could not accept it.
Lu Mo pulled her hand and shoved it in. “Aunty, this is the bonus you deserve. There’s one more thing I want to ask of you.”
“Miss, if there’s anything you need, just say it. I’ll definitely do it if I can.”
Lu Mo smiled. “Aunty, don’t tell my parents about my return for the time being. I want to stay at home for a few more days.”
The housekeeper nodded in understanding and agreed.
Ever since that day when she packed the house full of takeout boxes and junk food bags, the housekeeper would occasionally come over to the apartment to cook for her, afraid that she would torture herself to death.
Gradually, Madam Lu also realized that something was wrong. She couldn’t get in touch with Lu Mo and asked about the situation at the housekeeper’s apartment.
That day, Lu Momo was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching anime while holding a bucket of popcorn. The apartment door suddenly opened, and she thought that the hourly worker Auntie had come, she raised her voice and said, “Auntie, I want to eat fish out of jealousy today. Can you make it for me?”
The hourly worker Auntie did not respond to her for a long time. By the time she realized that something was wrong, Mrs. Lu was already standing in front of her with a body full of jewels.
The popcorn in Lu Momo’s mouth instantly lost its original sweet taste. She put down the popcorn, clapped her hands, and said as if she was chatting with her mother, “Mom, why are you here?”
Mrs. Lu snorted heavily. “I just wanted to ask you, when did you come back? ! How dare you, Lu Momo! Don’t think that you can get rid of your discipline just because you have been away for two years. Look at how you look now.”
“What’s wrong with me looking like this?”Lu Momo asked with a smile.
The part-time worker Auntie stood at the side and looked at Lu Momo with a difficult expression. Lu Momo sighed and said to her, “Auntie, there’s no need to clean today. You can go back first. Your salary will be counted.”
“Okay, then madam, Miss, take your time to chat.”The part-time worker Auntie closed the door and left.
