Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 221 I thought he was greedy for money, but it turns out he was lustful.

"Hiccup~"

"I'm so full~ Oh no, I'm on a diet! I had a vegetable salad for breakfast and a fruit salad for lunch, and then I indulged myself tonight. All my dieting efforts have been for nothing. It's all your fault!"

Inside the restaurant, after they had almost finished eating, Su He, the older cousin, slumped in her chair with a look of self-reproach, rubbing her stomach as she spoke.

It was as if Lin Mo was the root cause of all this, and they had no recollection of who had invited them to dinner.

Women, I can understand. When they're trying to lose weight, they never think it's their fault if they can't lose weight.

Although her cousin Su He is not fat, and is even quite slim, the presence of Liu Ruyan, whose figure and appearance are both outstanding, makes her feel anxious about her body even without doing anything.

As for why it's not about appearance anxiety, it's because no matter how much you worry about your appearance, it's useless. Your face is given to you by your parents, and the only thing you can change is your body shape.

Su He had never considered having surgery on her face. Of course, the main reason was that she wasn't bad-looking. Although she wasn't as outrageous as Liu Ruyan, she was still considered a beauty. Especially after using facial cleanser, she was quite satisfied with her face.

Hearing this, Lin Mo was dumbfounded. The two siblings had a large portion of stewed chicken, and Lin Mo, a grown man, only ate a third of it. The rest went into his cousin's stomach. How could she blame him?

"Don't worry, cousin. You're not indulging yourself. Look, you have vegetable salad in the morning, fruit salad at noon, and chicken for dinner. They're all salads, low in calories, so it won't stop you from losing weight," Lin Mo said with a straight face, spouting nonsense.

Su He:
"Thank you so much for coming up with such a lame joke to comfort me."

Lin Mo waved her hand and said, "We're siblings, it's only right, isn't it? By the way, cousin, how did your blind date go? Didn't you say my aunt prepared seven for you? Judging by the time, you should have met the second one today. How did it go?"

Hearing this, her cousin Su He sighed heavily and said with a helpless expression, "Brother, to be honest, I didn't dislike dating or blind dates before. It was just another way to meet guys. But after these two days, I seriously doubt your aunt's judgment."

"Oh? Tell me about it," Lin Mo said curiously, immediately changing his tone as soon as he saw something amusing.

Listening to gossip is human nature, regardless of gender or age; otherwise, how could we have the term "melon-eating masses"?

Then her cousin Su He started talking about the blind dates she'd had in the past two days. Yesterday's was with a civil servant, a calculating guy. Lin Mo was dumbfounded. Has the blind date market evolved to this extent?
Lin Mo hadn't seen Zhang Wei act like this before when he went on blind dates. Whether it was a market problem or a person's problem, Lin Mo felt that this was an isolated case and not of much reference value.

"No, no, a man who's too calculating won't do. How about this one today?" Lin Mo asked.

Hearing this, her cousin Su He sighed helplessly and said, "This guy is a rich second-generation in our city. His family is in the seafood business, and they also own a gas station not far outside the city. They're very well-off. They've already prepared a car and a house—a large apartment and a car worth over a million. If I marry him, I won't have to work hard for the rest of my life. Besides, he's also taken a liking to me. He said that if I agree to get married, he'll buy me a separate apartment in Nancheng and put it in my name!"

"That's great! If I go into the seafood business, won't I be able to eat seafood as much as I want? And with gas stations, I can fill up my tank for free too?" Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Although he didn't want to be a kept man, his cousin was a girl, and it was normal for her to marry up or down. Besides, the man's family was well-off, so there would be no pressure in their lives, and they would have an easy life.

Compared to the previous scheming man, he's much better. His aunt really did infiltrate the matchmaking agency; her resources are indeed quite good.

"Get out of here! You're selling your cousin, aren't you? Don't tell me I didn't like him. Even if it works out, you still have to pay me for your efforts!" Su He said angrily.

She completely forgot that she was also eyeing Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan. You could say these two siblings weren't blood-related, but they were closer than blood-related, even sharing similar thoughts. They both wanted to sell the other for a good price and then reap some benefits for themselves.

"No, he's a rich second-generation, his family is so well-off, he can even buy you another house, why don't you agree? Is the man disabled? No way, wasn't this one carefully selected by my aunt?" Lin Mo expressed his incomprehension.

If the man had any disability or illness, then this situation would be understandable. But this was a resource that his aunt had specially found for her daughter. How could such a thing happen?
"To be honest, I used to think that as long as a man was from a good family and had money, I could give it a try. But after meeting this guy today, I realized that I still have a bit of pride that I can't be swayed by poverty."

Before I went, your aunt told me about his conditions. My thought was that I wanted to marry a rich man. When it comes to blind dates, isn't it all about looking at conditions?

"After meeting her in person, I suddenly realized that conditions didn't matter, the main thing was that it couldn't affect my meal. I'm not a materialistic person," my cousin Su He said weakly, slumped in her chair.

In this situation, if she weren't a non-smoker, she would have wanted one too.

"Hahaha, no, is it really that ugly?" Lin Mo laughed so hard he almost choked.

His cousin, Su He, rolled her eyes at him: "He weighs over 200 pounds. He could crush your sister into a potato chip if he rolled over. He was fine when we first met, but after sitting for a while, his face started oozing oil. It felt like he could fry another dish on it. His lips are so thick that my upper and lower lips combined aren't even as thick as his. I can't even bring myself to kiss him. I'm afraid it will affect the next generation."

Let's put it this way: if we got together, no one would believe I married for love. People who didn't know better would think he saved my life. Goodbye to my life of luxury!

My cousin Su He is currently in a state of internal conflict between her left and right brain. At first, she thought she was greedy for money, but she didn't expect that in reality she was more inclined to be lustful.

"Goose, goose, goose~~"

At this moment, Lin Mo was already laughing like a goose across the street, attracting the attention of everyone else in the store, which made his cousin Su He so angry that she punched him.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh your ass! Don't you know who those rich and good-looking people are? You're the damn ones who are still talking!" His cousin, Su He, glared at him fiercely.

Her tone was full of resentment. Why could her cousin find a woman like Liu Ruyan, who had a great figure, good looks, and was also rich, but when it came to her, it was a choice between money and looks?
Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"No, why are you looking at me? I haven't even talked about it yet. I still want to talk about it."

In response, Su He, the older cousin, rolled her eyes at her younger cousin and said in a tone of utter despair, "If my mom introduces me to someone this ugly again, I'll go to Mount Wutai and become a nun. At worst, I'll make more money, and in a couple of years I'll live in seclusion deep in the mountains. I'll raise a chicken and a dog. I'll eat the eggs the chicken lays, the dog will eat my poop, and the chicken will eat the dog's poop. This cycle will keep me from starving, and I'll never come out again."

Hearing this, Lin Mo suppressed a laugh and said, "Cousin, you can't have that idea!"

"Why not? Am I supposed to marry someone I can't even bring myself to eat? I'd rather marry a poor but handsome guy, and if all else fails, we can live in seclusion in the mountains. I refuse to believe it!" My cousin Su He said indignantly.

Now she finally understood why Liu Ruyan didn't like Yuan Hua, who came from a wealthy family, but instead had feelings for her cousin. It turns out that being good-looking really can be an asset.

If she were as rich as Liu Ruyan, she would also find a younger, handsome, and strong man. Who would compromise themselves when they have money?
"No, that's not it. What I mean is, you have a middleman involved. How can you make a living like that? Just be direct. Eat what your dog poops, and eat what the dog poops. Besides, I suggest you keep two dogs. What if one of them gets constipated and you can't keep up? You'll go hungry!" Lin Mo said seriously from the side.

But in reality, he was already laughing all the way to the bank, since holding back laughter can cause internal injuries.

Su He: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
