Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 359 [Technique]

"You're finished. If your dad found out you let that blond guy drive that car, even if you're the sweetheart of the family, he'd be furious."

In the living room of Liu Ruyan's upstairs apartment, Ms. Cheng looked at her eldest daughter with a mocking expression. It has to be said that Ms. Cheng, as a wealthy woman, not only has a youthful mindset, but also frequently pays attention to news online. She even knows what "yellow hair" means.

Even though Lin Mo didn't dye her hair yellow, fathers would still refer to any boy who coveted their daughter as "yellow-haired."

Although the gift she gave to her husband was given away by her daughter, it wasn't actually her daughter's gift, so Ms. Cheng didn't feel any heartache at all; she was just excited to watch the drama unfold.

The car is gone, which is no different from when Liu Ruyan stole her father's cigarettes, alcohol, and gifts to deliver them in Nancheng. The only difference is that this car has more sentimental value.

Although the car was a gift from Ms. Cheng, once it's given away, it's gone forever. She didn't care anyway, especially since her precious daughter had returned from hunting today with her spoils. She wouldn't mind if her daughter gave away the latest model car in the house, let alone a ten-year-old model.

Especially since the person who drove the car away was Lin Mo, who gave her skincare products, knew how to massage, cooked delicious food, and was quite satisfied with her, then there was even less of a problem!
"Ah? Is everything alright?" Liu Ruyan was starting to panic.

The car wasn't worth much, but it was a 20th wedding anniversary gift from her parents, so it had a different meaning.

Liu Ruyan didn't take the cigarettes and alcohol she had given him seriously at all. There was so much stuff, and her father couldn't finish it all. What was wrong with her helping out as his daughter?
But the gifts given to the elderly couple were different, and at this point she was a little unsure what to do.

"You're asking me? How would I know? Why don't you ask your dad? Hahaha!" Ms. Cheng laughed heartily as she looked at the sweat on her daughter's forehead.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan immediately went up and hugged her mother's arm, swaying it back and forth and pleading, "Mom~~ I really didn't know this car was a gift for your and Dad's 20th wedding anniversary. If Dad finds out, you have to speak up for me!"

"You know, there are so many cars in the garage, how could you be so unlucky as to choose that one? It's not like we don't have any good cars at home. If other people find out, they'll think our family has gone bankrupt."

"Also, how old is Xiao Lin? What were you thinking, choosing a car that old men drive for him?" Ms. Cheng pointed her finger at Liu Ruyan's forehead, indicating that she couldn't understand.

Even without peers looking at it, even Ms. Cheng, who is from a different generation than Lin Mo, felt that Lin Mo and that Phaeton didn't match in terms of style.

You should know that when she gave her husband this car, Liu Zhengyuan was already over forty years old and had a successful career, so he didn't need to flaunt it, which is why she chose such a car.

Lin Mo is only in his early twenties, the perfect time to express his individuality. You could even give him a sports car!
However, Ms. Cheng only thought about this idea, because in her garage, every sports car was her vehicle.

That's right, among the Liu family of three, it's not the young Liu Ruyan who likes sports cars, but Ms. Cheng, the mother and the previous generation of Empress Ruyan. It's quite abstract.

"I was thinking that he's still young and it's not good for him to be too flamboyant, plus he lives in the university town, where there are many girls, so it's not safe, right?"

"I just happened to be on my way home when I saw this car in our garage. Although it's a bit old, it's still quite high-end, and most importantly, it looks very new. That's why I thought of taking it out for him to use as a mode of transportation," Liu Ruyan said helplessly, pouting.

This kind of coquettish, aggrieved expression is something Liu Ruyan only shows in front of her parents at home; she has never seen it on outsiders, not even on familiar faces like Su He.

"Then why do you think this car is so new? Isn't it because your dad has it professionally maintained every year?"

But you're right. At Xiaolin's age, and in the university town, driving a really nice car would be a bit too flashy. We're confident in ourselves, but we can't make things harder for ourselves for no reason, can we?

Some women, when they lose all sense of boundaries, find it hard for men to resist temptation. Not bad, you're not completely stupid; you take after your mother in that respect.

Ms. Cheng first explained why the car looked so new, and then affirmed her daughter's idea.

"Forget about whether it goes your way or not, what should we do about this?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Ms. Cheng chuckled: "What do you mean, 'what to do'? Either you don't need to worry about it, let your dad suffer when he finds out, or you can find an opportunity to get the car back from Xiaolin and get him another car to drive."

But Mom asked curiously, "Xiaolin's income isn't bad now, so why hasn't he bought a car himself?"

"Of course we did! We talked about it a few days ago. I was just worried he'd buy an expensive car and show off, so I stopped him."

"Well, then we'll just have to do it your way," Liu Ruyan sighed helplessly.

Ms. Cheng was just curious and asked about it, but she was immediately distracted by the secret ointment in her hand. Soon, the mother and daughter started chattering about it, and Ms. Cheng used it that very night.

Because Liu Ruyan brought the items back this time, the relationship between the mother and daughter was exceptionally harmonious.

Ms. Cheng was both nervous and excited, worried that the secret ointment wouldn't work, but also looking forward to seeing her skin improve.

As for Liu Ruyan, she was simply curious. She wanted to see how effective the secret ointment was and whether it was worth the 200 million her mother had spent.

As for Lin Mo, he had no idea what happened after he left. He deliberately didn't go upstairs because he was afraid of running into Ms. Cheng and not knowing what to do, since Ms. Cheng had indeed been quite enthusiastic towards him. The next morning, at Liu Ruyan's residence, the silence was broken by Ms. Cheng's exclamation.

"My God!"

While Liu Ruyan was still asleep, she was suddenly pulled out of bed, her hair disheveled.

"Xiao'e, look, isn't Mom's face a bit whiter? And some of the marks on Mom's face have faded a lot. Most importantly, I feel that my face looks much smoother than yesterday," Ms. Cheng said excitedly as she sat by Liu Ruyan's bedside.

As soon as she woke up this morning, she rushed into the bathroom to check if there were any changes on her face. Sure enough, you get what you pay for; her five million yuan was definitely not for nothing.

That's right, Ms. Cheng put up five million, of which Liu Ruyan lost three million, and Bai Linmo was still gloating over the remaining one million.

Don't say the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs.

Ms. Cheng, who suffers from appearance anxiety, knows exactly how many wrinkles and spots she has on her face, as well as the shade of her skin. She has spent a lot of money over the years to improve her skin, certainly several million yuan, but none of them have had such obvious results.

Her skin tone has become whiter. Although it's not obvious, it's definitely whiter and you can see it with the naked eye. Most importantly, the blemishes and acne scars left on her face due to age and acne have faded a lot. Even when she touches her face, she can clearly feel that her skin is much more supple than before.

Liu Ruyan was forcefully shaken awake by Ms. Cheng. She opened her eyes groggily, and after a while, her mind returned to normal. She also noticed the changes in her mother.

Although the effect wasn't as obvious as when she used the facial cleanser, the change was still visible to the naked eye. Most importantly, Ms. Cheng's skin maintained a moisturized feel.

"Yes, Mom, your face has changed so much! I knew my brother's products were effective."

"Don't complain about the price. You didn't waste five million. Besides, your brother said this has the effect of fading spots and moisturizing. The one we used before didn't have that effect," Liu Ruyan said, sounding like you got a great deal.

Sulfur facial cleansers are ineffective against natural phenomena such as blemishes and wrinkles; they are only effective for acne scars, enlarged pores, and dull complexion.

The reason why Liu Ruyan, Lin Mo, Miss Yuan, and her cousin Su He's skin became crystal clear and radiant after using it was mainly because they had no wrinkles or blemishes, so the improvement was natural and significant.

After Ms. Jiang finished using it, her condition improved a lot, but her wrinkles and blemishes didn't change much. Nevertheless, it was already much better.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng nodded with satisfaction. The results on the first day were already so good, and she was increasingly looking forward to the changes she would experience in a few days.

"I won't waste five million, but don't think your mother is stupid. It's hard to say how much of that money will end up in Xiaolin's hands. You better not let me find out you're bullying him." Ms. Cheng glared at her daughter, then cupped her face and went out to look in the mirror with a smug look on her face.

Liu Ruyan:
For some reason, even though she and Lin Mo weren't even officially dating yet, she already felt like her mother was starting to show favoritism.

It's not hard to understand: when a family only has one child, the parents will tend to favor the other one.

Simply put, families with sons prefer daughters, and families with daughters prefer sons. It's not about favoring boys over girls; it's just that they don't have any of those children themselves.

On Sunday, Liu Ruyan took a rare day off and rested, but she didn't go to the university town to find Lin Mo. Instead, she stayed home to rest.

Su He was still busy at the restaurant, and her basic monthly salary of 10,000 yuan wasn't for nothing.

As for Lin Mo, in addition to his morning exercise, he added boxing practice at the gym, which not only increased his combat skills but also improved his physical fitness.

Meanwhile, Miss Yuan, Chuanmei, and others were busy with the studio's affairs, while the class monitor and He Xiaoyue were preparing for the job fair. For a time, everyone seemed to have their own things to do.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. It was Tuesday morning. Lin Mo had just gotten out of bed when he casually picked up his phone to check the refreshed shopping page. He then sat bolt upright in bed, but instead of showing any excitement, his face held a strange expression as he murmured:
"Wait, this thing is considered a skill? What's the use of it?"

The phone screen prominently displayed four items.
