Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 242 Then you shouldn't say it.

There is a kind of abstraction to every type of person. At school, whether it was Director Wang, Chuanmei, or anyone else, if you asked them to say something or explain themselves, most of these people would shut up and watch the show from the sidelines.

But unexpectedly, his cousin and Liu Ruyan were actually different abstract concepts. What the hell is this "good sister"? Can't I just call her my cousin?

Of course, the most abstract one is Liu Ruyan, who even said that she was a mistress. It turns out that one's identity when traveling is determined by oneself.

This is Nancheng, not Jiangning. Apart from Su He and Lin Mo, there's no one else she cares about. So, she'll just make things as abstract as possible, since she won't be the one who ends up feeling awkward.

Clearly, she achieved the effect she wanted. Lin Mo was somewhat speechless, but it wasn't too bad. However, it made Xiao Wan extremely embarrassed.

He didn't want to stay in the car for even a second longer, and he didn't even want to ask him to treat him to a meal, which shows how powerful Liu Ruyan's words were.

The reason he gave the items to Lao Wan was because he was still in contact with Li Yao and the others. As for Lin Mo himself, if it weren't for Jiang Xia's incident, Li Yao and the other two would have been among the people he hadn't contacted since graduation.

With Lao Wan as the middleman, it's natural to ask him for help with this kind of thing.

In addition to making several more copies of the photos, Lin Mo also asked his staff to make an electronic version, which he saved on a USB drive.

People leave their mark as they pass by, just as geese leave their calls as they fly by. Although Jiang Xia doesn't know many people, someone has to remember her so that she can leave some trace in this world.

Nancheng is a small county town, and after handing the things over to Lao Wan, at Liu Ruyan's insistence, Lin Mo drove the two of them to visit two small attractions in Nancheng.

One is Songshan Temple, and the other is Jiutou Mountain.

Today is the sixth day of the holiday, and since it's afternoon, there are very few people around. When the three of us came, it was quiet and peaceful, so we didn't have to squeeze with the crowds. As for the scenery, well, it wasn't bad, but it was just average.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a small tourist attraction. If the place were large and the scenery were beautiful, their small county town of Nancheng would have become a tourist city long ago.

But small attractions also have their advantages, namely that they are free to enter and you can go anywhere you want.

After visiting two attractions, it was almost time for the three of them to return to the city. They found a restaurant to eat at, and then his cousin, Su He, took him back. They agreed to go back to Jiangning together the next day.

"Ouch~~ Ouch, be gentle!"

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Mo saw his father lying on the sofa, groaning and wincing, while his mother was massaging his back.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo asked upon seeing this.

"My eldest son is back. He's alright, just went out to play and got tired," Old Lin said with a smile as he lay on the sofa.

Hearing this, the mother sighed helplessly and said, "I twisted my back, and I don't know if it will get better in the next couple of days."

"You twisted your waist? How did you twist it?" Lin Mo asked.

Upon hearing this, Comrade Lin pointed to his wife standing to the side and said, "She was pinned down by your mother!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes widened, his mouth agape, and he stared at the two elders in disbelief: "Huh? Didn't you two go out to play? You have so much energy? You two wouldn't be thinking about having a second child, would you!"

He didn't understand. Could it have happened before he came back?

Seeing his expression, Old Lin knew his son had probably misunderstood, and quickly said, "No, what are you thinking? Your mother and I went out to play, we climbed a mountain, and halfway up, the two of us..." Lin Mo: "Halfway up the mountain? Halfway up the mountain? You think you're so great? Why don't you just fly to the sky!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than his mother slapped him on the back: "Your dad and I went hiking. Halfway up, we saw an old man who was over 60 years old and was still running and exercising. He was all muscle. I just admired him. Who would have thought he would carry your mom up the mountain to prove himself? He twisted his back after only a few steps."

How old are you? You still act like a young person. You deserve it!

I'll get you some medicine. If you're still in pain tomorrow, go to the hospital. Oh, and son, did someone come over? I saw something in the entryway!

Liu Ruyan didn't bring much this time: two bottles of wine, a carton of cigarettes, and a bag of fruit.

"Well, my cousin and her classmate came to visit me. It was their first time visiting, so I felt bad coming empty-handed. I know my dad likes to drink, so I brought some wine. We also know each other; the company I used to intern at was her family's," Lin Mo explained his relationship with Liu Ruyan.

Upon hearing this, the two elders finally realized Liu Ruyan's identity. No wonder she had given them things; she was not only their niece's classmate but also their son's former boss.

"I was right. That girl has an extraordinary air about her. But she's too polite. How can she be so rude? What should we say in return? How about we invite her over for dinner tomorrow?" Old Lin said, frowning, looking somewhat troubled.

Yesterday, I unknowingly drank someone's wine and took their tea. How can I still have the nerve to accept their gifts?

Lin Mo waved his hand upon hearing this: "She and my cousin are going back to Jiangning tomorrow, and I'll go back with them tomorrow too. Just keep the things, it's okay. I'll make it up to them later when I have the chance. Besides, given their situation, giving them a little something is just a matter of courtesy."

Knowing that his cousin Su He's family had also received gifts from Liu Ruyan, Lin Mo didn't think much of it. He figured the gifts were gone, and he could always make up for it later elsewhere.

The connection between people lies in interaction. If he has the opportunity to meet Liu Ruyan's parents in the future, he can simply prepare a gift for them as well.

"Huh? Son, you're leaving tomorrow? So early?" Zhou Min, the mother, asked in surprise.

Lin Mo nodded: "Yeah, it's perfect to hitch a ride back. Besides, staying at home is boring, and I have some things to do back home, so I'll go two days early."

"Let me check Dad's back first. It just so happens that your son has learned some massage and bone-setting techniques from his teacher."

Hearing this, the two elders were even more shocked than when they heard he was leaving the next day.

"Son, really? You can do massage and bone setting?" Old Lin asked, his eyes wide.

"What are you saying? My teacher is a professor at Jiangning Medical University and the vice president of Jiangning Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Of course, he taught me traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, how could he teach me to perform surgery?" Lin Mo said with a smile, placing his hand on his father's lower back.

Although they heard their son say that, the two elders were still somewhat skeptical.

But soon, Comrade Lin realized that he had underestimated his eldest son.

"It's nothing, just a minor sprain. I'll massage it and set your bones. Tomorrow, my mom will go to the pharmacy to buy some medicated plasters to apply!"

Lin Mo quickly understood the situation by placing his hands on his father's back and then began to massage him while smiling.

"Hey? You know what, you really have to say!" Old Lin exclaimed with delight as he felt the pain in his lower back lessen.

Zhou Min: "Then don't say it."
