Chapter 192 Invitation

"Haha, this guy is good-looking, and kids really do like him. Our little Qianqian is so young, but she already knows how to look at handsome guys. She has good taste!" Ms. Jiang teased the little baby with a laugh.

Qianqian is the baby's nickname. In the living room, the four adults were amused by the little girl's behavior and burst into laughter.

Children, as long as they aren't the unruly type, are all adorable, especially good-looking babies.

Don't be fooled by the fact that young people today don't get married or have children; they absolutely adore the adorable babies online, and the "virtual parenting" model is incredibly popular.

Many new parents have even become million-follower bloggers by sharing photos of their babies, achieving financial freedom.

Many adults never imagined that after studying hard for more than ten years and working for many years, they would still be carried by their children.

It can only be said that some people are just born to be fed by God, and some babies start earning money for milk powder as soon as they are a month old.

Yuan Meng's sister-in-law was holding her daughter, sitting on the sofa and smiling as she tapped her daughter's little face to prevent her from going to cling to that handsome young man again.

"Xiao Lin, you silly child, didn't I tell you last time to come over to our house when you had time? You've forgotten again!" Ms. Jiang turned to Lin Mo and smiled.

It was obvious that she genuinely thought Lin Mo was a good kid, especially since she always felt great whenever she looked in the mirror and saw her own face.

Now when she goes out to play cards, which rich woman doesn't envy her? Even Ms. Cheng, Liu Ruyan's mother, is not as young as her now.

Having been overshadowed by appearance her whole life, she turned the tables in her old age. It must be said, that feeling is quite exhilarating, and all of this is thanks to the young man in front of her.

Two hundred thousand is nothing to a family like hers, but the effect was truly remarkable.

Although her daughter had let the other party drive her car, the ownership had not been transferred. She had driven it back to her own home a few days ago, so Ms. Jiang had been looking for an opportunity to properly thank Lin Mo and sincerely hoped that he could come to her home as a guest.

"Auntie, I've been quite busy lately. My uncle said he'd ask about something for me, and people from the city came over in just two days. Plus, my teacher made me study, and he checked my progress yesterday. I can't afford to relax!" Lin Mo explained with a smile.

It was just polite talk; there was truth in it and falsehood in it. Although he had a lot to do, he wasn't so busy that he didn't have time to visit. It was just that he felt it wasn't appropriate.

He was on good terms with Miss Yuan, but not so familiar with Ms. Jiang. Besides, she was an elder, so it would be awkward to go over there. What if she was just being polite?

Upon hearing this, Ms. Jiang couldn't help but smile. How could someone as shrewd as her not know what Lin Mo was thinking? She just chose not to say it.

"You're too kind, child. I feel quite at ease letting Yuanyuan play with you. It just so happens that this place isn't far from the horse farm we went to last time. Let's go there together for a stroll and have a meal," Ms. Jiang said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo quickly stood up: "No, Auntie, I have something to do now and I have to go back. Maybe next time. I'll definitely visit you next time!"

As he spoke, Lin Mo prepared to take his leave. What a joke! It was clearly a family banquet over there. What was he, an outsider, doing there?

Moreover, he did have something to do in the city and was going to see Emperor Ruyan. She left in a hurry this morning and forgot to tell her about Longquan ink paste and Tongyan ink. He was afraid that it would be difficult for him to handle these things on his own, so he naturally needed to find someone to help him.

This morning Liu Ruyan dared to take advantage of him, so helping her out shouldn't be a problem, right? I'll try to act quickly so I can give my family a surprise when I go home for the National Day holiday.

"Come on, what could you possibly have to say? You're just trying to fool your aunt. Grandpa Yuanyuan was talking about you the other day, saying that Dr. Pan's massage wasn't as comfortable as yours. Since we've finally run into each other today, listen to your aunt and let's have a meal together."

Xiaoyan, call your father-in-law and ask him if Dr. Li is available. Tell him that his student will be coming over later.

“Okay, Auntie,” Yuan Meng’s sister-in-law said with a smile.

Yuan Meng's sister-in-law was also a smart woman. Although she hadn't said anything, she could tell that her aunt's family had a special relationship with the boy in front of her.

Although she had only been married for a few years, she was very familiar with her husband's family relationships. She naturally had no objections to the fact that her husband's aunt had married well and was someone that everyone valued.

"Auntie, I..." Lin Mo was stunned when he heard this. Although he was very friendly with acquaintances, he was really reserved around strangers.

Moreover, it was a family dinner, and everyone around him was an elder, making him feel uncomfortable talking. If it weren't necessary, he really didn't want to get involved.

"Listen to me, it's just a meal, don't be nervous. Your teacher will be here soon, young man, be generous," Ms. Jiang patted his shoulder and smiled, making the decision right there.

Seeing this, Lin Mo had no choice. If he forced himself to leave, it would seem as if he were deliberately distancing himself from her. Fortunately, Ms. Jiang was considerate and even contacted his teacher.

Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed if he were the only outsider there. But if Professor Li were there, it wouldn't be a family dinner, but a consultation.

"Alright then!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Ms. Jiang nodded upon hearing this: "That's right, no need to be so formal!"

For Ms. Jiang, regardless of Lin Mo's background or the fact that he was Dr. Li's student, the fact that his massage could make her father feel a little better was enough for her to be polite.

After all, what child doesn't want their parents to enjoy their old age in peace and comfort, ideally without illness or disaster, or at least with an easy life?

Just as Lin Mo was smiling wryly, Miss Yuan came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Good brother, you really stepped up when Sister Yuan needed you. I won't call you Little Black Dog anymore."

But if I get yelled at later, you have to take the blame for me!

Upon hearing this, Ms. Jiang glared at her daughter, wondering how she could have given birth to two such unreliable children.

One of them is already thirty and still can't understand matters of the heart, while the other does understand them but won't talk about them, and most importantly, he keeps causing her trouble.

When Yuan Meng's sister-in-law heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Clearly, she also found the two young people in front of her very interesting, but she didn't know if they were Yuan Yuan's boyfriends.

As for Lin Mo himself, he slapped Miss Yuan's hand away: "If possible, I would rather I had never come today. I told you before that if you cause trouble in the future, just don't implicate your teacher."

"You're really something, always sabotaging your own people, aren't you?"

Miss Yuan: "No, it's just that Director Wang and the girl from Sichuan ran fast!"
