Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 240 If only she were my future daughter-in-law!

It's true what they say, once a person lets go of their pride, they can live a very carefree life.

Of course, Lin Mo was just joking, but in his opinion, spending a lot of money to buy so many nutritional supplements was really just a show of face.

Nutritional supplements may be useful, but their effects are generally mediocre. If nutritional supplements were truly effective, what would be the point of hospitals?

As for the cigarettes, alcohol, and tea that Liu Ruyan brought, to Lin Mo's family, they were probably just expensive items. To be honest, his family wasn't at that level to use them themselves.

His father is just an ordinary worker in a steel factory; he can't drink Maotai every day. His mother is a teacher; she can't use skincare products worth tens of thousands of yuan every day. If someone with ulterior motives sees this, they'll report his mother for accepting bribes!

That's why he didn't dare buy an expensive car when he bought it. First, it was just a car for getting around, and his mother would feel bad if he bought an expensive one. Second, if he bought an expensive one, his mother would be reported to the school, which would be the least of his worries.

"By the way, little brother, are you going back to Jiangning tomorrow?" his cousin Su He asked in the living room.

Lin Mo was taken aback: "So fast?"

"Nonsense, it's already the 6th today. Tomorrow is the last day of my holiday, and I have to go back tomorrow morning," my cousin Su He said with a worried look on her face, seemingly extremely reluctant to go back to work.

She'd rather stay home and go on blind dates every day, battling wits with her mother, than go back to work like a beast of burden.

Although she's no longer an ordinary employee, managers also have their own pressures. Besides, she's just a slightly higher-ranking employee; what decent person would want to work a regular job?

Hearing this, Lin Mo realized that it was already Saturday. Time really flies.

But it's understandable, since he and his cousin spent a whole day on the road, so their holiday naturally went by quickly.

“We’re on holiday for nine days, why would I go back so early?” Lin Mo refused.

Why go back so early? Why not rest more during the holiday? What's the point of going back to school? Are you going to watch Director Wang and the class monitor's emotional entanglement?
“You don’t have classes now, so what’s the difference between being at home and at school? Besides, even if you go back, you can just rest at your place. Once you’re in Jiangning, you can eat, drink, and have fun. Whatever you want to do, I’ve got you covered,” Liu Ruyan said from the side.

One of the reasons she came today was to get Lin Mo to go back with them tomorrow.

Firstly, it's on the way for everyone, and secondly, something unexpected happened to Lin Mo. Leaving him here alone might cause him to overthink things, so it's better to take him with us to Jiangning, at least under our noses.

Third, once Su He leaves tomorrow, she naturally won't be able to stay either. Naturally, she wants to take Lin Mo with her while she still has time. She can't just leave Su He back in Jiangning while she stays here in Nancheng, can she? That would be too awkward, and her purpose would be too obvious.

Hearing this, Lin Mo thought about it and felt that it made sense, especially the new skill he had acquired that morning, which made him feel restless. Maybe he could start a side business.

"Okay, I have some things to do when I get back. Cough cough, Sister Ruyan, I might need to trouble you with something in a while," Lin Mo agreed after thinking for a moment, and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone.

It's better to go back together. Staying at home for a couple more days won't earn us any more money, so it's better to go back. At least we can get a ride.

Upon hearing the change in his form of address, Liu Ruyan immediately became wary: "What mischief are you up to now? Let me tell you, money is negotiable, but strange requests are not allowed!"

Lin Mo:
Su He: ? ? ?
"No, what do you mean by 'money can be discussed'? We've been sisters for so many years, and you've never given me any money. What do you mean by that?"

Lin Mo was speechless. It was just that I held your hand and touched you for half an hour last time. Why are you so wary of me? Besides, you've taken advantage of my kindness. At most, it's a draw.

"Ahem, I mean, three or two hundred, I don't lack that little bit of money, I've already given you eight hundred, but don't be surprised," Liu Ruyan coughed twice and forced an explanation.

Su He expressed disbelief, but had no evidence, so she asked, "Hey, my second aunt and her husband went out to play, why didn't you go?"

"I'm not feeling well. I had a slight fever today, so I didn't go out. Have you eaten yet? If not, let's go out and get something to eat together?" Lin Mo said, taking two pills for himself.

Hearing this, both women were taken aback. Liu Ruyan even reached out and touched his forehead: "You don't feel very hot?" "I took medicine this morning and the fever has gone down," Lin said.

But Liu Ruyan was still a little worried: "Why don't we go to the hospital and get an IV drip to help us recover faster?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, my cousin's fever has subsided, but you've caught a fever, you beaker!" Su He, seeing the worried expression on Liu Ruyan's face, couldn't help but speak up, her tone tinged with a hint of sourness.

Back in her university dorm, when she also had a fever, Liu Ruyan actually used her feverish forehead to heat up milk for her, and then complained that her fever wasn't high enough and the temperature wasn't warm enough. Is that human?

Both siblings have fevers, yet the treatment they receive is so different!

"Get out of here, you're the one who's burning it!" Liu Ruyan turned her head and scolded.

Su He: "It didn't catch a fever, but last night you said you were craving something and wanted to eat something?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was furious, and her pretty face flushed red. Some things are fine for girls to say in private, but you can't say them in front of outsiders! Don't I have any dignity? "Weren't you drooling? When you saw the male and female leads kissing in the short drama, your eyes were practically watering, and you even swallowed!"

Su He: "That's right, I was craving it, so what? I even went on a blind date, so what if I was craving it? I admit it, unlike you, who's always brooding!"

Liu Ruyan:
What's the point of playing this game? They've already self-destructed, what are we supposed to do now?

"Ahem, well, since you're free, little brother, why don't you cook? I'm hungry," Liu Ruyan quickly stepped back and said.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"No, I didn't plan to cook. Can't we just eat out?"

"Oh dear, nothing outside tastes as good as what you make. Hurry up and cook, or your aunt will come back and we'll get caught!" Liu Ruyan pushed him into the kitchen and started rambling on.

Su He rolled her eyes at her: "You're here as a guest, not to steal a man. What are you so guilty about? You're acting like you're afraid of being caught cheating!"

Liu Ruyan turned around and glared at Su He: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

It's true that she came as a guest, but she's also somewhat involved in adultery. Plus, it was her first time visiting Lin Mo's house, and she did it while his parents weren't home. How could she not feel guilty?

To put it bluntly, she's not ready to formally come to our home to meet our parents yet.

Meanwhile, outside, Zhou Min, who was posing for a photo with several colleagues in the classic six-pointed star pose typical of the elderly, suddenly sneezed three times in a row.

"What's wrong, honey? You caught a cold too? Did you catch it from our son?"

At this moment, Comrade Lao Lin, who was acting as a photographer, quickly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"It's nothing. I just have a feeling that someone is talking about me behind my back. Maybe it's your son," Zhou Min, the mother, said, rubbing her nose.

Hearing this, several of my mother's colleagues couldn't help but laugh and say, "First they think about it, then they scold it, then they nag about it. Isn't it only natural for a son to nag about his mother?"

"She might be my future daughter-in-law, hahaha!"

"Hey? Does your son have a girlfriend yet? It would be great if he got married soon so you could become a grandma."

Zhou Min laughed upon hearing this, "It would be wonderful if she were my future daughter-in-law!"
