Chapter 391 Parents Cleverly Set a Trap, and a Greedy Pig Accidentally Enters a Blind Date
At the Liu family villa, Miss Yuan ate very quickly, almost finishing her meal just as Lin Mo and the other person put down their chopsticks.

As for sweet fermented rice balls, that's for dessert.

After sitting down in the living room and chatting casually for a while, Miss Yuan suddenly remembered that there were still two living people outside, so she quickly got up to say goodbye.

"By the way, Mo-zai, since you're already here, would you like to come to my house for a while?" Miss Yuan asked.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and then nodded: "Alright, it's about time anyway. Auntie, I'll be going now. I'll come visit again when I have time!"

Ms. Cheng checked the time and realized it was indeed getting late. If she stayed any longer, it would be time for dinner. Although she wouldn't mind having Lin Mo stay for dinner, it was just a formality since it was his child's first visit.

Especially after she learned about the two's relationship status, she no longer needed to help them. She then smiled and said, "Okay, since you know the location now, you can come whenever you want. By the way, Xiao'e, take some things with you and go with Xiao Lin to your Aunt Jiang's house for a visit. We'll take him back later!"

"Okay, Mom," Liu Ruyan nodded.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, their hearts naturally in sync. In this situation, of course they had to stay together; otherwise, what kind of relationship would it be?

But if Liu Ruyan were to accompany him, it would feel like the prospective son-in-law visiting relatives, with the daughter taking him along.

Neither Lin Mo nor Miss Yuan noticed the underlying meaning in the mother and daughter's conversation.

Soon, Liu Ruyan accepted the two boxes of gifts that her mother had asked Aunt Wang to prepare, and the group went out.

"Auntie, let's go back now, we'll come again next time!"

At the entrance of the villa, Lin Mo waved and spoke.

"Okay, next time you come, just let Auntie know what you'd like to eat," Ms. Cheng nodded and smiled.

Lin Mo: "Okay, Auntie!"

Watching the two cars slowly drive away, Aunt Wang, the live-in nanny, laughed and said, "That young man is really handsome. If he has a baby, wow, how good-looking he'll be!"

During the meal just now, the housekeeper, Meimei, remained completely out of the loop, not saying a single unnecessary word. She would only talk to Ms. Cheng when there were no outsiders at home.

Although they had developed feelings for each other over the years, she also knew what to do in different situations and that she couldn't just sit around talking to guests.

But now that the guests have all left, it won't hurt for her to say a few words.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng couldn't hold back her expression and laughed, "Haha, of course! Xiao Lin is absolutely perfect, so energetic. If Xiao E dares to bring back an ugly one, I won't agree to it. He won't be allowed into the house!"

I don't want to go out with an ugly grandson in the future. That would be so embarrassing! I'd rather not have one at all!

In this family, Ms. Cheng is the biggest looks-obsessed person. After all, back then, she only saw that Lao Liu was good-looking. But if she could marry someone who had nothing, wouldn't it be because of his looks?

Lin Mo himself didn't know that he was able to visit this house today thanks to his parents' good looks, plus the sulfur face wash he used back then; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to get into this house.

After all, who would have thought that this son-in-law's visit would turn out to be a trap! And it was the mother-in-law who was the one doing the trapping. You'd think Ms. Cheng was looking for a life partner for herself.

Meanwhile, the two cars accelerated and made a turn, arriving at Miss Yuan's doorstep.

When Lin Mo got out of the car, he was surprised to see Director Wang and Chuan Mei getting out as well, and exclaimed in surprise, "Damn, you two are here too?"

"Otherwise what? Sister Yuan is really something. She's eating and drinking to her heart's content inside, she doesn't care at all whether we live or die," Chuanmei said, rolling her eyes at Miss Yuan.

Liu Ruyan was also a little surprised by this: "You guys are all friends, why are you being so formal? Get out of the car and come in to eat something together. Yuanyuan, you too, how could you let them stay in the car!"

"Tch, even though I'm unreliable, I still know whether or not to bring guests. What would I do with them at your house? Now that we're on my turf, we have to eat and drink our fill before we leave. Let's go!" Miss Yuan strode in with an air of indifference.

That was Liu Ruyan's house. She could go there, but it wouldn't be appropriate for her to bring a group of friends. But at her own home, there wouldn't be so many problems.

This also shows that Miss Yuan is a person who is rough around the edges but meticulous at heart. Although she is sometimes unreliable, she has grown up in such a family and has learned some rules from a young age.

They can be carefree in front of their own family, but they are still very polite in public; otherwise, they wouldn't be so popular with the elderly.

Seeing this, Lin Mo and the others were about to follow when Liu Ruyan handed them the gift box, saying, "Here, take this."

"Huh? Me?" Lin Mo was somewhat surprised.

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "Nonsense, if it wasn't you, was it me? When have I ever brought anything when I came to my Aunt Jiang's house? Seeing that you decided to come at the last minute, my mother specially prepared this for you. How can you visit empty-handed!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chuchuan and his sister, who were about to go in together, broke out in a cold sweat. They hadn't bought anything either.

Miss Yuan pulled them into the car and they came without thinking much about it at the time, which has now put them in a difficult situation.

Clearly, Lin Mo and his companion noticed the awkwardness of Chuan Mei and her companion. They exchanged a glance, and Lin Mo handed them a gift box containing fruit, saying with a smile, "Take this first, it's on you two."

"I'm so sorry," Chuanmei said, but she was quick to take the item. Wang Chu was a step behind and missed out, so he could only follow behind awkwardly.

Inside the villa, Ms. Jiang and Mr. Yuan were still discussing things.

"Unless... we find a reason to trick Yuanyuan into going there, without telling her beforehand, and then when she arrives, we have a meal together and she says she didn't like it, and we can get away with it." Ms. Jiang thought about it and realized that this might be the only way.

Hearing this, Old Yuan nodded: "That's a good idea, but you know Yuanyuan's personality. It's easy to fool her, but if she finds out that we're actually setting her up on a blind date, I'm afraid she'll flip the table."

“That’s true. Unless we can find a way to make her finish her meal in peace, even if she knows she’s been scammed,” Ms. Jiang said, squinting her eyes, while the two of them racked their brains.

Just then, Miss Yuan's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Mom~ Mom! Mom!! I'm home! I brought a friend home! Is there anything to eat?"

The three calls of "Mom!" were louder and louder than the last, which immediately alerted the couple inside.

Upon hearing that their daughter had returned with friends, the couple immediately got up to greet her.

Soon, they spotted Miss Yuan, who was leading the group, followed by the others.

Although the two elders didn't know Director Wang and Chuanmei, they did know Liu Ruyan and Lin Mo who were behind them.

Suddenly, the couple looked at each other and saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes.

"I always said there's always a way out, and things will work themselves out," Comrade Yuan said with delight.

Ms. Jiang nodded with a smile in response: "Indeed, how could we forget about Xiao Lin? With Xiao Lin's cooking skills, even if Yuan Yuan finds out she's been tricked, she won't want to waste any of the delicious food if we set a table at his restaurant. At the very least, she'll finish the meal!"

"That's enough. As long as she finishes her meal and doesn't cause any trouble, we'll have an excuse when we say we don't have any children or haven't found anyone. Let's do it this way," Comrade Yuan decided.

This is called "parents cleverly setting a trap, and a greedy pig mistakenly enters a blind date."
