The Rejuvenation System of Hehuan: Starting with a Young Woman in an Apartment

As Chen Mo had predicted, Zhao Fang kept dodging around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that her mother-in-law was not nearby.

Then he hurriedly handed the lunchbox to Chen Mo and said, "Uncle Chen, it's already noon. I've already prepared lunch. You can just eat it."

Looking at the lunchbox, Chen Mo was both amused and exasperated.

Chen Mo said to Zhao Fang, "Aren't you afraid your mother-in-law will keep showing up?"

Zhao Fang said, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I've looked everywhere, and there's no sign of my mother-in-law."

"Besides, I owe you so much, and this is all I can do. I think there shouldn't be any problems this time."

As she spoke, a hint of guilt and disappointment appeared on Zhao Fang's face.

There's nothing we can do about it. Does Zhao Fang think she's not afraid? That's impossible. She hesitated terribly when she brought the food, terrified that her mother-in-law would show up again.

However, on both occasions, she felt that she owed Chen Mo far too much. As someone with deeply traditional values, she couldn't just sit idly by after owing someone a favor.

But she couldn't do anything else; the only thing she could do was cook.

So even after what happened that morning, she still couldn't control herself and still wanted to do everything she could to make up for everything she had caused.

Chen Mo knew Zhao Fang's personality and understood what she was thinking. He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, then picked up the lunchbox and said to Zhao Fang, "Okay, I'll take the lunchbox. You should go back now."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Zhao Fang hurriedly nodded and then turned to leave.

However, because she was walking too fast, Zhao Fang accidentally kicked a chair next to her, instantly losing her balance and almost falling over.

Zhao Fang exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing this, Chen Mo was stunned for a moment. He could only quickly reach out and put his arm around Zhao Fang's waist to catch her, which helped Zhao Fang regain her balance and prevent her from falling to the ground.

However, at this moment her waist was bent like a shrimp. When she looked up, she realized that her ample waist was being held in Chen Mo's arms.

This was the first time Zhao Fang had ever been so close to Chen Mo. For someone as conservative as her, this intense shock left her stunned, her mind going completely blank.

It took a while to react.

But at that moment, a piercing shout rang out again, "Fine, you lot!"

"What are you two doing?"

"Now I'll see how you explain this!"

Upon hearing the piercing sound, Chen Mo froze instantly. The next moment, a strange expression appeared on his face again, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

A familiar figure quickly appeared in the guardhouse, instantly confirming Chen Mo's guess. Yes, this person was Zhang Lishi.

I don't know when, but Zhang Lishi suddenly reappeared, and she rushed in aggressively.

Zhang Lishi witnessed Chen Mo embracing Zhao Fang.

Zhao Fang was startled by Zhang Li's voice, her whole body stiffening. She thought to herself, "No way?" Then she turned around and looked towards the door. Sure enough, she saw Zhang Li striding in aggressively.

Zhao Fang's face turned pale instantly. Then she realized that Chen Mo had his arm around her ample waist. She could explain why she made breakfast for Chen Mo before, but how could she explain it now?

She quickly stood up and explained to Zhang Li, "Mother-in-law, it's not what you think. I accidentally fell, so..."

However, Zhao Fang was clearly overthinking things. Her mother-in-law, Zhang Li, had obviously come prepared. She had fallen on her own, and Zhang Li knew that she had to change her nationality before she could come in. How could she possibly listen to Zhao Fang's explanation?

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhang Li sneered at Zhao Fang, "Shut up!"

"Do you really think I'm stupid? I might let it go once or twice, but this time I caught it with my own eyes."

"What do you mean you fell down? You two were clearly having an affair."

People like Zhang Li are naturally adept at turning the tables and blaming others.

Zhao Fang was instantly speechless, unsure how to defend herself for a moment.

"I...I..."

Chen Mo thought to himself, "Goodness, this old woman is really troublesome. I must find a way to get rid of her after this is over."

The old woman's greed far exceeded Chen Mo's imagination. This time, she ambushed him here, once in the morning and once at noon, seizing every opportunity she had.

That makes sense, though; for an old woman like her, time is the one thing she has in abundance.

Let alone catching her twice a day, if he were to sleep on the floor here 24 hours a day, she might be willing to do anything.

At this moment, Zhang Li glanced at Zhao Fang with disdain. Although her words to Zhao Fang were full of insults, her target was not Zhao Fang, but Chen Mo.

She merely insulted Zhao Fang before walking towards Chen Mo, standing in front of him with her hands on her hips, and said aggressively, "Well, big brother, I thought you were a true gentleman, but I never expected you to do such a thing with my daughter-in-law."

"I didn't see you this morning, so I believed you. But now that I've caught you red-handed, what do you have to say for yourself?"

"How am I supposed to face people after this?"

Seeing this, Chen Mo burst into laughter.

He knew what Zhang Lishi meant; she was implying that she wanted money from Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo had already used up enough bait this time, so he changed his plan and started hauling in the nets to catch the fish.

Zhang Li originally thought that Chen Mo would continue to offer money to settle the matter, but this time Chen Mo's attitude changed 180 degrees.

Contrary to Zhang Li's expectations, Chen Mo did not make another mistake. Instead, he coldly addressed Zhang Li, saying, "Sister, please don't slander my innocence."

"Zhao Fang fell down just now, I just helped her up."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Zhang Li was stunned. What did Chen Mo mean? Did he not want to pay?

However, Zhang Li was not so easy to talk to, and she wouldn't let it go so easily just because of Chen Mo's words. She continued fiercely, "You say there wasn't one, but I saw it with my own eyes."

"Don't try to argue anymore. Tell me, how do you want to resolve this?"

Chen Mo chuckled inwardly, but continued to speak coldly to Zhang Li, "I know what you mean, you just want money, right? But let me tell you, this time there won't be a single penny."
