sweet wife don't run away

Chapter 280 The Huo Family's Pride

Huo Jiaojiao watched Li Mo answer a phone call for a long time and then just stood there in a daze, walked over curiously, and patted Li Mo's shoulder heavily.

"Hey! Brother Mo, what are you thinking? Are you in a daze? What news did you get?"

Li Mo looked at Huo Jiaojiao's big eyes that looked a little like Loyi, and said a word out of nowhere. "Jiaojiao, you can be my girlfriend and come home with me."

Huo Jiaojiao's eyes widened, and then she reached out to touch Li Mo's forehead, and then a black line appeared on her face. "You obviously don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about? Hey, I get it, do you want me to be Loy's substitute? Let me tell you, brother Mo, even though I'm still young, I still understand, You can't forget Roy so quickly."

Li Mo was a little ashamed by Huo Jiaojiao's words, yes, Huo Jiaojiao is just a naive and happy girl, he shouldn't drag her into the right and wrong of these feelings, and touched his nose.

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry for that, I just heard that Yiyi is getting married, so I'm talking nonsense for a while, don't take it seriously. But I have something serious to tell you. Didn't you say that you were admitted to a university in C city? I will repay your life-saving grace by sending you to study."

Huo Jiaojiao blinked her eyes twice, stared at Li Mo all the time, and finally spoke after a long time. "Really? You don't have anything else to ask for for me to go to college? Just think of it as repaying me?"

Li Mo nodded, "Yes, to repay your life-saving grace."

A trace of hesitation flashed across Huo Jiaojiao's face, and she spoke after a while, looking at Li Mo. "But Brother Mo, strictly speaking, it's not a life-saving grace. I just brought you home. Even if I didn't bring you, you wouldn't die, so the life-saving grace is not valid. Wouldn't I take advantage of it?" It’s cheap for you, and it costs a lot of money to go to college.”

Although Huo Jiaojiao kept talking about asking for money for saving her life, she was a simple person after all, and would not do such things as asking for a favor.It was Li Mo's actions that made her uneasy.

Li Mo was in a good mood, "Then treat it as my food expenses for this month at your house. If you are still a little uneasy, please do me a favor."

Huo Jiaojiao was very happy when she heard that she could help. "Then tell me, what can I do for you?"

Seeing her excited look, Li Mo couldn't help laughing. "Be my girlfriend, but don't worry, it's just a pretend, nominal girlfriend, I won't do anything to you, don't worry."

Seeing Huo Jiaojiao's arms folded suddenly, Li Mo was a little speechless, and hastily added the following sentence.Huo Jiaojiao cutely blinked her eyes. "So, what you mean is that you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend, to reassure your family and that Roy, that you are doing well now, right?"

Seeing Li Mo nodding, Huo Jiaojiao finally understood. "For the sake of your filial piety, then I promise you. In fact, brother Mo, I always thought you were very old, but after knowing your real age, I was embarrassed to say it."

Li Mo was a little puzzled why Huo Jiaojiao suddenly brought up the question of age, looking at Huo Jiaojiao's eyes were full of greetings, and couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, Li Mo still asked.

"Does my request have anything to do with my age? What's wrong with my age?"

Huo Jiaojiao coughed twice, "It doesn't matter at first, if we have been friends, I can continue to call you brother Mo. If it is a boyfriend, don't you think you are very old? You are older than me Ten years old, you are all uncles. I have decided to call you Uncle Mo from now on."

Li Mo choked on this sentence, but speaking of it, he was ten years older than Huo Jiaojiao.Thinking of this, he rubbed his chin, is he that old?Seeing Huo Jiaojiao bouncing back home, Li Mo remembered that he hadn't talked about the business yet.

Hurry up and catch up with Huo Jiaojiao, and they went home together.When we arrived at Huo's house, Mother Huo had already prepared the meal. "Jiaojiao, Xiao Mo, you are back, it's time for dinner."

With such an interruption, Li Mo didn't say what he wanted to say, so it seemed that he had to say it at the dinner table.Soon the Huo family and Jia Limo were sitting on the table, and Li Mo looked at them before saying anything.

"Well, Uncle Huo, Auntie, I can go home now. And my family will pick me up in the afternoon. Thank you for your care during this time."

Papa Huo and Mama Huo took a look, then at Huo Jiaojiao, before Papa Huo said something to Li Mo. "Good to go home, your family must be worried about you a lot during this time."

After Papa Huo finished speaking, he bowed his head to eat again.Li Mo felt helpless.He knew that Huo's father said very little, because he was an honest man, he only knew how to bury his head in his work, and he didn't ask him for some money after living in their house for so long.

Li Mo turned his face away a little unnaturally, and abducted their daughter by himself, so he had to express it no matter what.But before Li Mo could speak, Huo Jiaojiao spoke first.

"Dad, Mom, I want to follow Brother Mo to the city. Brother Mo said he would send me to college. I want to go."

Huo's father and Huo's mother heard this sentence, looked up at Huo Jiaojiao, did not speak, and after a long time, they heard Huo's father sigh. "Then Xiao Mo, our Jiaojiao is entrusting you."

Before Li Mo could speak, Papa Huo went on to say, "I don't have any money, so I can't send my daughter to study. Xiao Mo, thank you for your presence, uncle. But the money for college, after Jiaojiao works, must let She still, otherwise I would not agree to her going."

Li Mo looked at the persistence on Papa Huo's face, and knew that this was an honest person's persistence to the bottom line, and he was grateful in his heart. At the same time, Li Mo found that he had finally found what he had lost.

Looking at Papa Huo, Li Mo stood up and bowed to him, "Uncle Huo, thank you, you taught me how to behave, don't worry, I will take good care of Jiaojiao."

Seeing Li Mo agree, Papa Huo got up to get the paper and pen, and asked Huo Jiaojiao to write the guarantee. "Jiaojiao, Dad is incompetent, but Dad wants you to be a person who keeps your word, write it down, and you must pay it back in the future."

Huo Jiaojiao looked at the piece of paper and pen, without any hesitation, she just took it and started writing. After finishing writing, she gave the letter of guarantee to Li Mo. "Take it, and when I pay off the money in the future, you are returning it to me."

Seeing that Huo Jiaojiao didn't show any displeasure on her face, Li Mo gave Huo Jiaojiao an even higher look.With raised eyebrows, he solemnly collected the letter of guarantee, because it was the pride of the Huo family.
