Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 380 Did you install surveillance cameras in my house?

In just one day, Comrade Lao Liu's lips turned pale, he started watching the wedding video, wished time could stop, and even wanted to travel back in time so that he wouldn't agree to the wedding.

If he had known he would suffer so much at his age, he would have really wanted to go back and slap himself to death.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking. After all, there's nothing wrong with their relationship. Liu Zhengyuan has just been put through a lot these past two days, even startling his daughter, Liu Ruyan. It's clear that Ms. Cheng has been going all out these past two days.

After all, his face is getting younger and younger, and his confidence has returned. The once mighty Emperor Ruyan is beginning to return to his peak, and his strength is indeed terrifying.

Fortunately, Liu Ruyan, his daughter, returned, which saved Liu Zhengyuan's life; otherwise, things wouldn't have been peaceful tonight.

The next morning, seeing that her father's complexion had improved somewhat, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but say, "Dad, I know a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor, how about..."

"No, Dad doesn't need it. Traditional Chinese medicine is useless. The only one who can save Dad now is you. Either you come back every day for the next two days, or you take Mom away. Otherwise, Dad will really never be able to come back to this house," Liu Zhengyuan sighed and pleaded sincerely.

Liu Ruyan:
As for the old Chinese medicine doctor? What good is that? The old Chinese medicine doctor can only treat the symptoms. The root cause is his wife. You can't prescribe a packet of rat poison and let his wife die!

That's true. Even a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor like Professor Li would be helpless in this situation.

After all, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes moderation, nourishment, and gradually replenishing deficiencies. Even when Lin Mo was undergoing treatment for his three deficiencies, Professor Li instructed him to keep a low profile and not to recklessly disturb his kidney energy.

Otherwise, if you indulge in both nourishment and debauchery, not even a miracle cure, let alone traditional Chinese medicine, will work!

Fortunately, Lin Mo didn't have a girlfriend, so he didn't have any problems with his kidney energy. With the help of traditional Chinese medicine, he was able to replenish the deficiencies in his body.

As for Chuanmei and Wang Chu, these two Yin-Yang protectors, they're pretty much done for. After taking two doses of herbal medicine, they haven't been back since. It was somewhat effective, but whether it completely cured them is another matter. And now they're still staying up all night every day.

Moreover, Lin Mo hasn't been visiting Chuanmei's place much lately, so he naturally doesn't know whether Lu Guo paper production is still high.

If the yield remains as high as before, then the medicine will have been wasted.

On the contrary, Wang Chu has been dragged to the gym by the class monitor to work out recently, and his health has improved a lot.

Once this person lost weight, not only did all of his physical indicators return to normal, but it also helped him to maintain a regular sleep schedule. As a result, Director Wang's complexion improved significantly during this period, and he was much more energetic. He was much better than Chuanmei, who usually looked like she was about to die.

Just as the father and daughter were talking, Ms. Cheng came out of the bathroom, patting her smooth face: "Oh, what are you talking about? Who's not coming back?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan quickly finished the sea cucumber porridge in his bowl, then got up and left: "Ahem, well, I'm going to work. You two eat, don't wait for me for dinner. I have something to do today, a dinner party tonight, I'll be back later!"

Without waiting for Ms. Cheng to ask any questions, Liu Zhengyuan dashed to the garage, and a car quickly sped out of the house, giving the impression of fleeing in panic.

"Mom, take it easy. Dad is so old. People who don't know better might think you're trying to have a second child!" Liu Ruyan said helplessly to her mother as her father fled in panic.

She's not a three-year-old child, how could she not know what happened at home?

Last night, when she came back, Ms. Cheng gave her husband a break. Although they are an old married couple, they still need to be mindful of their image in front of their daughter.

Besides, there's no rush for this. After all, when their daughter is home, they can only be in the bedroom. But when their daughter isn't home, can they just do whatever they want?
Liu Ruyan is already so old, and she can only come home a few times a month, so Ms. Cheng finally let Old Liu go.

Hearing her daughter's complaints, Ms. Cheng couldn't help but spit out: "Go to hell! You want me to have a second child? Even if your dad wants one, I don't want to have one."

And besides, do you think I'm doing this for myself? Aren't I doing it for you?

"For me? What does this have to do with me?" Liu Ruyan pointed at herself, her face full of doubt.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng sneered: "How can it not be for you? Although our family is not a famous rich family, we are still a large and prosperous family. You are our only child. When your father and I get old, everything will be yours."

Whether I have a second child or not is not important; what's important is that no other second child can appear in our family.

"I'm going to put in some effort to make your dad behave himself outside. It's better than some bastard child showing up and fighting you for the inheritance!"

Liu Ruyan:
It must be said that one cannot understand the responsibilities of a position unless one is in charge, one cannot know the cost of living unless one is in charge of a household, and one cannot know the gratitude owed to one's parents unless one raises children.

Before this, Liu Ruyan seemed to have never thought about this issue. Although there were many illegitimate children in the families of other wealthy people around her, she never thought that one day this situation would happen in her own family.

But her not considering it doesn't mean Ms. Cheng isn't considering it; a mother naturally sides with her child.

"It has to be you! You are truly resourceful. But speaking of which, Mom, why didn't you have a second child back then? Even if it was a family planning policy, I am a daughter. Having a second child shouldn't be illegal, right?" Liu Ruyan gave a thumbs up and asked curiously.

Unlike Miss Yuan's family, who had been wealthy for generations, their family was not like Miss Yuan's family. Even though their first child was a son, they could still have a second child. When she was born, their family business was just starting to take off, and they were still considered ordinary people. However, she was a daughter, and the country allowed them to have a second child. But she was their only child, which was quite strange.

Especially in wealthy families, there is more or less an obsession with having a son.

Hearing this, Ms. Cheng rolled her eyes at her daughter: "At first, we did have the idea of ​​having another child, but when you were born, the family business was developing rapidly."

Your dad is too busy to manage on his own, so I have to help out. When you were little, there was a period when you spent time at your grandparents' and maternal grandparents' houses in rotation.

We only brought you to the city after you turned three and things stabilized a bit. Then we were busy for a few more years, and you got older. It wasn't until you were in your third year of junior high that our family business gradually stabilized. That's when your mother returned to the family and became a wealthy housewife, which was also a good time to supervise your studies.

We did consider having a second child back then, but I was already quite old, considered an older mother. Your dad felt sorry for me, and besides, you've been smart since you were little, so we weren't worried about who would take over the family business. That's why we didn't have one. Of course, your mom wasn't really keen on having another child either. Having you was enough; I wanted to stay beautiful for a few more years, so you're our only child.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan finally understood why she was the only girl in her family. For so many years, she had thought that her parents didn't care whether they had a son or a daughter, but it turned out that they had missed the peak childbearing period.

"I must have two children in the future, preferably a son," Liu Ruyan said to herself, stroking her chin.

In response, Ms. Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "You? Unless you can get pregnant with twins, you will definitely not want to have a second one after you have one."

Forget it, why am I talking to you about this? You should deal with Kobayashi first!

"I'm a little curious, Mom, why are you so interested in Lin Mo? Why do you think so highly of him?" Liu Ruyan asked疑惑地问道.

Logically speaking, although Lin Mo is considered very outstanding by his peers, he is far inferior to her family. They are not a good match. However, her mother likes him very much. Ever since they first met at the restaurant, she has had the feeling of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and finding him more and more pleasing to the eye.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng glanced at her daughter with some surprise, then sighed and said meaningfully, "We women, if we have the means, should always look for a boyfriend or husband who is a few years younger than ourselves, so that we can be happy for a few more years."

Otherwise, just look at your dad. A man over 25 is practically 40, over 30 is practically 60, and when he gets to your dad's age... hehe~~

Liu Ruyan:
While driving, Comrade Liu suddenly felt a jolt in his kidney and muttered, "I will not go home before midnight tonight, absolutely not!"

Meanwhile, in the university town, the area became much quieter after yesterday's job fair.

Some senior students have already started packing their things to go home, preparing to start working in a while.

As for the [Mengya Media] studio, it's become much livelier, with two more employees added, making it seem more vibrant.

The news that a food street opened here last night has already started to spread in a small circle among several nearby schools.

Although some of the vendors weren't very skilled, they still had some delicious snacks, which naturally attracted a group of students.

Near the university town, any snack stall that doesn't taste bad is bound to make money, since there are so many students.

After Lin Mo returned from his morning exercise, he received a call from Liu Ruyan early in the morning, asking him to go to the company in the city at noon today, saying it was about the restaurant's tax matters.

Without hesitation, Lin Mo went directly to Miss Yuan, got the car keys, and left.

Although he was supposed to arrive at noon, it was already past eight o'clock by the time he finished his morning exercise and had breakfast. It would take him more than an hour to get to the city, and by the time he got to the company it would be almost noon, so he naturally had to leave early.

On Friday, November 2nd, at 10:30 AM, Lin Mo drove to the company alone. Liu Ruyan's office was the same as before, with no changes.

"Huh? Are Uncle and Auntie planning to have a second child?" Lin Mo exclaimed from the sofa.

The next second, Liu Ruyan threw a pen at him, just like a teacher throwing chalk on the podium in school, hitting him right on the forehead.

"Get lost! You're the one who's having a second child!" Liu Ruyan retorted, her face slightly flushed, but more so with embarrassment and anger.

Lin Mo didn't cry out in pain, but just rubbed her forehead: "Why would I need to supplement my uncle's kidneys if I don't have a second child?"

It turned out that as soon as he arrived and sat down, Liu Ruyan subtly inquired about Professor Li's prescriptions for tonifying the kidneys, and whether they were suitable for elderly family members.

This question was clearly not directed at him, and besides, he's not an old man, nor is he a family member. So the target is obvious; it's Comrade Lao Liu without even thinking.

Although Ms. Cheng didn't care, her daughter was still her daughter. Seeing her father's miserable state, she couldn't help but remember that her little man was a student of a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor. So she wanted to inquire about him.

"Mind your own business. Just tell me if you have it or not. It would be best if it were something that works quickly and effectively, like the herbal bath medicine you gave my mom, or the secret medicine you used on my and my mom's faces. Don't worry, money is no object," Liu Ruyan said, glaring at him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's expression turned somewhat strange, and he then recalled the items that had appeared on the shopping page that morning.

[QBU-88 sniper rifle, the same model used by Leng Feng, three shots to penetrate concrete bricks for a headshot. Note that it takes three shots to hit an enemy's head. ¥4.44]

[Huiyuan Shenbao Tablets, good for her and good for me; Shenbao Tablets, boosting energy, seven times a night is extraordinary; Guanyuan point heat, yin and yang in harmony, sweet and oily, smiling happily; for those with kidney deficiency or old age and physical weakness, Shenbao, tastes great; ¥250.41]

[Firepower Silver Electric S Yo-Yo, Li Fei's second yo-yo, automatically unleashes the special move "Celestial Silver Dragon" upon first use; ¥66.6]

One box of windshield washer fluid; ¥1.89

To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this item this morning, but the description immediately dampened my enthusiasm.

But he bought it anyway. He figured that if the medicine was effective, he could always find a buyer. He could just take it home for his dad to use; it certainly wouldn't go to waste.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he bought it, Liu Ruyan started asking him about the secret medicine. What a coincidence!

Then he cautiously asked, "You...you installed surveillance cameras in my house?"

Liu Ruyan: ? ? ?
