Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 388 Where's the Backup Plan?
Ms. Cheng, who was always watching the entrance, noticed the car as soon as it stopped. She quickly walked out and saw Lin Mo struggling to carry something.

"Hello, Auntie!" Lin Mo greeted Ms. Cheng immediately upon hearing this.

When Ms. Cheng saw Lin Mo, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, you kid, you're here all this way, why did you bring anything? Don't be so formal!"

"Of course, it's only right. It's my first time visiting, so I should show my appreciation. I just didn't know what Uncle and Aunt liked, so I bought a little something," Lin Mo said with a shy smile.

It's true that when a son-in-law visits for the first time, if the bride's parents like him, they'll praise him even if he farts. On the other hand, if they're not satisfied with him, no matter how expensive the gift, it won't make a difference.

There is a magnetic field between people, at least that's what Ms. Cheng thinks. Anyway, she just thinks this young man is nice, otherwise why would she go to the hospital to find his teacher?

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng's smile widened. She then looked at her daughter, her face hardening, and took the things from Lin Mo's hands, shoving them into her daughter's hands: "So clueless! Why don't you lend a hand? You're too lazy to do anything!"

After saying that, Ms. Cheng helped carry two lighter items herself, and pulled Lin Mo inside, laughing as she went, "Little Lin, next time you come, just drive the car into the yard. Otherwise, it'll be too tiring, silly boy! Did you hear me?"

"Okay, Auntie, shall I help you carry these?" Lin Mo asked, extending his hand full of things.

Ms. Cheng: "It's alright, it's alright, Auntie, this is light and not heavy at all, come inside quickly!"

Liu Ruyan watched from behind. Although her mother had said a few words to her and stuffed something into her hand, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Clearly, everything was under her control. The items they bought were just the right size for the three of them to carry in, except that Lin Mo was the main force.

Since this is his first visit, we should show him how much importance he attaches to it. Even if we can't carry all the things, it's still a sign of his respect.

The gifts she chose, though not cheap, were more meaningful than practical for her family; the presence of cigarettes, alcohol, and tea was a necessary formality, a sign of respect.

As for her insistence that Lin Mo pay the bill, that was just her little scheme.

The car was parked outside, which is a sign of respect since it was the first time. Didn't her mother say that next time she comes, she should just drive the car in? The first time is for guests, but afterwards, they're family.

As Lin Mo walked through the villa, he was once again shocked by the wealth of the rich. Not to mention the villa itself, just looking at the yard, you could tell that a lot of thought had been put into it, and it was quite large.

With so much stuff in his hands, he was almost exhausted from walking all this way. Luckily, his physical strength had improved recently, otherwise he would have been red-faced and swollen from walking. After finally entering the villa's first-floor hall and putting his things on the ground, Lin Mo breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The three of them placed their belongings on a nearby table; it was a huge pile, quite impressive. Upon seeing this, Ms. Cheng raised an eyebrow at her daughter, the meaning of which was self-evident: I've taken the things, and you'd better get lost.

"Come, come, Xiao Lin, come sit down. You must be exhausted!" Ms. Cheng said with a smile as she led Lin Mo to sit on the sofa.

Lin Mo smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, Auntie, I'm not tired!"

I can't complain about being tired, but thankfully the weather is getting cooler now, and my physical strength has increased, otherwise I would definitely be covered in sweat.

Looking at Lin Mo, who wasn't even out of breath or red-faced, Ms. Cheng couldn't help but laugh and say, "He's really a young man; his stamina is amazing!"

"Auntie, you look so young! Especially when I saw you this time, you looked so much better than last time. You must be in a good mood. You and Ruyan look like sisters standing together," Lin Mo flattered her.

He never hesitated to praise his sugar daddy, after all, Old A8 was truly wealthy. Compared to him, Liu Ruyan was far inferior in both wealth and vision. Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng's previously reserved expression crumbled, and she covered her mouth and laughed, "Hehehe, Xiao Lin really knows how to talk! Auntie is so old, I can't compare to you young people."

“That’s right, Auntie. If you went for a walk around our university town and people said you were a college student, they would be lying. But if you said you were thirty, most people would believe it!” Lin Mo pressed on.

As for Ms. Jiang, although she looked younger after using his facial cleanser, it wasn't to that extent. But Ms. Cheng herself was the previous generation's Emperor Ruyan, and she was too good at dressing up.

With a little dressing up and makeup, she could easily pass for someone in their thirties. The biggest difference between her and Liu Ruyan is that Liu Ruyan could still look young at their university after using face wash, but Ms. Cheng simply couldn't. After all, her mature charm was too obvious.

"Oh my, I'm so embarrassed by what you're saying. But I owe all this to the secret ointment you made for me, Xiao Lin. The effect is really remarkable. I'm so grateful to you," Ms. Cheng said sincerely, her face flushed.

Even with her family's resources, she'd never seen a skincare product with this kind of effect before. You know, with her family's influence, if someone had used it, there's no such thing as a secret that wouldn't be kept. The news would have spread long ago, which shows how precious this product is.

"It's all thanks to your good constitution, Auntie, otherwise this wouldn't be a miracle drug," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Ms. Cheng was overjoyed by this and called out to the inside, "Sister Wang, hurry up and serve the food! Xiao Lin hasn't eaten lunch yet, he must be starving!"

"Okay ma'am"

Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Mo with some surprise, then secretly pinched him on the back and whispered, "I didn't realize you were such a good flatterer, you can spout nice things so easily, but you can't do anything when it comes to your sister, can you!"

"My aunt is so generous, and look at yourself, do you even understand the concept of 'greatness'?" Lin Mo said disdainfully.

Liu Ruyan: "You"

"What are you saying, Lin? Come on, let's go eat with Auntie. Auntie made you some black chicken soup today." With that, Ms. Cheng pulled Lin Mo to the restaurant.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Miss Yuan, along with Director Wang and Chuan Mei, had their car stopped by a young woman whose car was parked on the side of the road.

"What's wrong, Miss?" Miss Yuan and her two companions asked as they got out of the car.

The girl pointed to her car: "My tire is flat, can you help me?"

This place is considered the suburbs, far from any village or shop. Miss Yuan then looked at the two men beside her, knowing she wouldn't...

Seeing this, Director Wang volunteered, "I know a little bit, let me do it! By the way, have you called your boyfriend or husband?"

Girl: "I called, but no one answered!"

Director Wang: "What about the backup plan?"

Girl: "Even the backup option didn't answer."

Three people: "Huh?"
