"Heh! What's the big deal? It's just a few cartons of cigarettes! I gave all of these to Uncle Delin! Back when I couldn't afford school or tuition, Uncle Delin took great care of me. Now that I'm somewhat capable, if I don't show him a little filial respect, the people in the village will be pointing fingers at me!" Chen Mo said.
By saying this, Chen Mo was making it clear that he had given these things to Uncle Delin. There was no way anyone could pin a corruption charge on Uncle Delin!
"Heh! This kid just tells everyone whenever something happens! You're my junior, a child still within the five degrees of kinship. Since I saw you struggling, how could I not look after you?" Uncle Delin said with a smile, then turned to Guo Hua. "Little Guo, don't you agree?"
Uncle Delin showed no particular expression when he heard what had just been said. After picking up on Chen Mo's words, he deliberately said that for Guo Hua to hear!
Naturally, Guo Hua understood. He took a drag on his cigarette and merely chuckled twice. He did not particularly care about what Chen Mo and Chen Delin had said. He had never expected to do anything to Chen Delin over such trivial matters, so he let it go!
Besides, he knew very well about the relationship between Chen Mo and Chen Delin. He had only brought it up today to test the waters. In any case, saying a few words would not hurt, and it was not a major matter anyway.
Thus, Guo Hua did not react much. His expression did not even change as he acted as though nothing had happened, continuing to smoke and make irrelevant small talk. He simply refused to leave the office!
