Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 249 Hand Powder
In other words, Liu Zhengyuan didn't know that his beloved tea leaves hadn't been used as ingredients for making tea eggs, otherwise he would have been heartbroken.

Of course, it was also fortunate that Lao Lin recognized the two bottles of wine that Liu Ruyan was carrying; otherwise, his mother could have used 30-year-old Moutai to make crab soup.

Inside Liu Ruyan's bedroom at the Liu family villa, the mother and daughter closed the door and whispered amongst themselves, isolating the only man in the house.

"Come on, tell your mother how your trip there was these past few days?" Ms. Cheng closed the door and immediately started gossiping.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan felt a little embarrassed: "It was alright. I went to his ancestral home and even met his father."

The next day, when no one was home, I went to his house again.

Liu Ruyan briefly recounted what had happened in the past two days, but she was a person who cared about her reputation, so she didn't mention that she had drunk someone else's father so much that he passed out, otherwise her mother would definitely scold her again.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng expressed her satisfaction with her daughter's progress, but her only regret was that she hadn't met the young man's mother.

Although nothing is certain yet, and even if they start dating, they might not get married, Ms. Cheng is just bored and enjoys listening to this kind of gossip. There's nothing she can do; the life of a rich wife is just so dull and tedious.

Aside from having a lot of money, they are no different from ordinary people, at most they don't have to worry about making a living.

As for enjoying life and traveling everywhere, they've had enough of that over the years. Their family didn't just become rich recently; they've been to every place and eaten every kind of food over the decades.

Once you've eaten and seen it many times, it naturally becomes boring.

But if her own daughter were to fall in love, get married, and give her a grandson, then Ms. Cheng would have some expectations.

After all, her life has been worthwhile; she's experienced everything she could, and now all that's missing is becoming a grandmother.

"My daughter is quite something, daring to take the initiative. So, is she really interested in this one? If she is, we can start talking about it."

It's better to date a college student than an old or middle-aged guy. If you've had enough, just move on to someone else. After you've had a few relationships, you'll settle down eventually. Even if the relationship is good, you can date for several years.

Don't be like your mother and get married too early. Let me tell you, once a woman gets married, it feels like she's suddenly tied down, and she's not free at all."

Ms. Cheng began to share her experience with Liu Ruyan. Although marriage is a major event and should be taken seriously, it does bring a sense of constraint, even for someone from a well-off family.

"Oh dear, Mom, I just went to visit a friend and stopped by his house for a quick look," Liu Ruyan said somewhat embarrassedly.

But how could Ms. Cheng possibly believe that? "Ha~ I wonder who it was that wanted to rush over there that very night after hearing that something had happened over there."

But judging from what you've said, this college student of yours is quite something!

Liu Ruyan was taken aback: "What's wrong, Mom? Is something the problem?"

"That's really not right. Look, according to what you said, his family is just an ordinary family. His father is a worker, his mother is a teacher, and they live in an ordinary residential building. The house isn't even that big. This kid hasn't even graduated yet. Where would he get the money to give you such an expensive fan?"

Your mother had someone examine your fan these past two days. The fan is genuine. Although it's hard to tell how many generations it's been made by, its craftsmanship is better than the one your mother has. It would still fetch two or three hundred thousand yuan if someone were willing to collect it.

"You tell me yourself, where did he, a college student from an ordinary family, get so much money?" Ms. Cheng began to explain.

If the fan was a gift from someone else, that would be possible, but Lin Mo's family clearly couldn't afford to give such an expensive gift, so it's highly questionable.

"It's alright. The Angong Niuhuang Wan I gave you was sold to me by him. The other one was bought by Aunt Jiang's daughter, Yuanyuan, for 400,000 yuan," Liu Ruyan explained upon hearing this.

She even recounted how Lin Mo borrowed money from the two of them and earned nearly 200 million yuan in just a few days, as well as how he had recently earned another 200 million yuan from Yuan Meng's father.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng immediately sat up straight. Although she didn't know the specifics, she knew exactly who Yuan Guocheng was. Lin Mo was actually able to make money from him; he must be quite something.

As for where the items came from, that's their business. "Impressive. At this age, without any family support, to earn this much before even graduating, he's definitely a rising star. You've got good taste, kid. How about we arrange a meeting sometime?" Ms. Cheng's almond-shaped eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Even for a family like hers, it's quite remarkable that a child can earn this much money at this age, especially considering that Lin Mo doesn't have any family support.

Take her daughter as an example. If she were thrown out now and couldn't rely on any of the family's resources or connections, she might not be able to earn this much money.

As for Lin Mo borrowing money from her daughter, if he hadn't paid it back, she would have thought he had ulterior motives. But he paid it back in just a few days, and she even made a profit. That means he's smart and has potential.

"Ah? Well, let's talk about that later!" Liu Ruyan felt a little uneasy.

I haven't even done anything yet, and I'm already letting her mother meet people. It just feels weird.

As for Lin Mo, he was currently in the living room frantically completing the prerequisite quests for "Wednesday Chef".

He played a video on his laptop and a tablet, and he watched them at three times the speed.

To do this, he even subscribed to a video membership to skip ads and save time.

The prerequisite was that he had to watch all three works at least once; it didn't say he couldn't watch them at double speed or all at once. So, he essentially exploited a bug in the system.

Two animated films were playing simultaneously, both at triple speed, chattering away. Lin Mo felt his head was spinning, but there was nothing he could do; he simply didn't have enough time.

You see, today is already Sunday, which means he has at most two days left to prepare. His school starts on Wednesday, and he needs to complete the task within those two days.

These two anime series, one with 132 episodes and the other with 52 episodes, would take him two days to watch normally, so he naturally had to find a way to watch them. If he missed them, he would have to wait until next Wednesday.

Just then, Lin Mo's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Chuan Mei calling. He then pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Lao Mo, I heard from Director Wang that you went back?"

As soon as the call connected, the Sichuan girl's voice came through, sounding somewhat excited.

"Yes, what's up?"

Sichuan Girl: "Yes, a lady here has been messaging me privately, asking me to contact you so you can paint a portrait of her when she was young. She said she's a fan of yours and really, really likes you! Do you have time?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo frowned: "My fans? I've never even shown my face, how could I possibly have any fans? You actually believe that?"

Sichuan girl: "They said they just love your hands, they're practically hand fans."

Hearing this, Lin Mo sneered: "Get lost, you jerk! Isn't she my fan? She likes me? Ask her how much she likes me!"

"Huh? Wait a minute, let me ask you something," the girl from Sichuan said, then paused for a moment, probably texting the other person, but quickly spoke again: "She said she likes you at least 10 grams every day, and now it's almost 100 grams. She also asked if you want to take a look."

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"What? You like it? You can even use grams as a unit of measurement, and you can even look at it?"

The woman from Sichuan was also puzzled when she said this, but she still said, "Yes, that's what she said. Wait, I said I wanted to see it, and she told us to wait a while while she went to get some paper."

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red instantly: "Get lost, you motherfucker, you brainless thing, is she playing you again? Bah, she played both of us! You should just turn back into Li Shiya, you brain-stem deficient thing."

The next second, a shocked voice came from the phone: "Holy crap, Lao Mo, he's got amazing hands!"

Lin Mo:
