Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 434 He who takes another's money is bound to be indebted
Liu Ruyan didn't want to expose her relationship with her best friend's younger brother, but it was exposed anyway.

Su He doesn't want to expose their relationship now, as she wants to gain more benefits for herself, but she has been exposed passively.

If she could, Su He really wanted to just lie down and sleep right now, pretending she was blind and hadn't seen Liu Ruyan sneaking out of her cousin's room.

But there was no way around it; the two of them were staring at each other, their faces almost touching. If she were to pretend that she hadn't seen anything, that would be ridiculous.

As a result, the two of them looked at each other without saying a word, and stared at each other for a full minute.

Liu Ruyan wanted to run away, but seeing Su He just staring at her without saying a word, she was a little scared. It was already hard enough to feel guilty about dating her friend's younger brother, but now, she had sneaked into the next room in the middle of the night to mess with his cousin, and now she hadn't even been caught. Just thinking about it made Liu Ruyan feel embarrassed.

Although she knew she hadn't done anything wrong—the two of them had just cuddled and slept together without even taking off their clothes—would outsiders believe that?

As for Su He, she wanted Liu Ruyan to leave. As long as Liu Ruyan left, she would not say a word and would pretend that she had been blind just now.

She wanted to turn around and pretend she didn't see it, but her feet felt like they were glued to the ground, which led to the two of them staring at each other.

As time went on, the atmosphere between the two became increasingly awkward, and cold sweat broke out on Liu Ruyan's forehead.

Ultimately, she couldn't withstand the pressure and chose to speak first:

"Hey Su Su, you're up really early!"

Su He was also embarrassed at this moment, secretly annoyed that Liu Ruyan was really useless. Since things had come to this, couldn't you have kept it a secret? As long as I didn't catch you red-handed, I could pretend I didn't see it.

When she woke up this morning, she found that Liu Ruyan was gone. She thought she had gone to the bathroom, but when she hadn't returned after half an hour, Su He knew that things might not be so simple.

When she came out, she found that Liu Ruyan's shoes and other belongings were still there, which meant that she hadn't left. In that case, her whereabouts were obvious.

Thinking she was going to the kitchen for a drink of water and then going back to pretend to be asleep, she never expected that the two of them would bump into each other in such a short time.

"Oh yeah, I get up early to make breakfast," Su He said with an awkward laugh.

Then the two fell silent again.

"Um, if I said I went into the wrong room just now, would you believe me?" Liu Ruyan swallowed nervously.

Su He:
What kind of hypocrite are you? At a time like this, what the hell are you going to explain? If you weren't going to explain, you could just go back to sleep and I would have just gone along with it. But if you say this and I still pretend I don't know, wouldn't I be an idiot?

Moreover, if she still pretends to be stupid in this situation, even if Liu Ruyan might not notice anything because of the current tense situation, she will realize something is wrong after thinking about it later.

In short, the current situation is that Liu Ruyan and Lin Mo's romantic relationship has been exposed to her, and Liu Ruyan also knows that she knows their relationship has been exposed.

With this in mind, Su He decided to strike first and at least firmly establish the moral high ground.

He then took a deep breath and sneered, "I believe you went into the wrong room, but I absolutely do not believe you went into the wrong bed. Give me a reasonable explanation."

Sure enough, Liu Ruyan panicked even more when she saw Su He's expression.

"That. That"

Liu Ruyan stammered for a long time, unable to say anything.

Seeing this, Su He gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and pounced on him: "Damn it, I really want to beat you to death!"

"Ah! I was wrong, Susu, I was wrong, please stop."

The noise outside the living room was quite loud, and it quickly drew Lin Mo out.

"No, what are you two doing?" Lin Mo asked, leaning against the wall as he looked at the two women rolling around on the sofa.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan was below, and what she was wearing was already a loose nightgown, which was now completely disheveled by her cousin, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin.

Fortunately, the weather is cool now. If it had been hot last month, and Liu Ruyan had been wearing a nightgown, she would have been exposed by now in this position.

As for Su He, he was sitting on Liu Ruyan's lap, holding Liu Ruyan's hands with his fingers intertwined, which was undeniably a bit ambiguous.

Even her proper boyfriend had never used this position.

Upon hearing this, Su He sneered: "Little brother, you've really made something of yourself! You actually dared to mess with my best friend? You've got some nerve!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him nonchalantly, then hopped onto the refrigerator on one leg, took out a cucumber, and took a bite (chewing): "Got it, so what!"

Liu Ruyan felt guilty, but he didn't. What was there to be guilty about in having a boyfriend? Besides, Liu Ruyan was going to have a boyfriend sooner or later, so it didn't matter who she had a boyfriend with!
"Hahaha~" Upon hearing this, Su He laughed and gave a thumbs up, nodding, "Okay, you're really something, now get out of here!"

Three minutes later, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan stood in the center of the living room, while Su He sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, leaning back and glaring at the two of them.

"Su Su~ Look, we're such good friends. I used to be your best friend, and now I'm your sister-in-law. We're practically family now, isn't that great!" Liu Ruyan said nervously, fiddling with her fingers over her abdomen.

As for Lin Mo, he looked at the roof at a 45-degree angle, showing his dissatisfaction: "We're dating, why are you afraid of her? At worst, I'll go tell my aunt. I don't believe it!"

Hearing her younger brother's outrageous remarks, Su He was so angry she almost turned red. "Fine, fine, you've forgotten your sister now that you have a wife. If I had known that helping you would result in being betrayed, I would have wanted to kill both of them."

"Even rabbits know not to eat the grass near their burrows, what are you two thinking? Is it possible that if you two get married, that's fine, but if you break up, how will we get along?" Su He glared at her cousin, then looked at Liu Ruyan and asked.

The reason I'm saying this is to offer a suggestion: that these two should treat each other well and date until marriage. Your relationship may seem like a matter between two people, but it actually involves three.

That's why they say they're really relatives; she's a true cousin. Even after being betrayed, Su He still puts on layers of protective armor for the two of them.

"Why run all over the mountain when there's grass right next to the nest?" Liu Ruyan said cautiously, fiddling with her fingers.

Su He:
"You dare talk back? You're old enough to be his aunt, you shameless thing!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan hurriedly went back into the house, brought out a bunch of things, and sat down next to Su He with a smile, saying, "Look, this watch looks so good on your wrist, and this Hermes handbag of mine is perfect for carrying your phone and keys!"

And these car keys of mine, they make you look so much better, they look really nice. Oh, and all those skincare products in my room, I feel like I'm wasting them. Look at my face, I'm not that great-looking, how come I'm not as pretty as you? These skincare products are only truly useful when you use them!

Soon, Su He had a watch on her wrist and a Hermes handbag in her arms, which also contained the car keys to Liu Ruyan's recent ride.

That is to say, she doesn't usually like to wear bracelets, rings, necklaces and other accessories. Otherwise, all those things would be with Su He now.

It has to be said that throwing money at a woman is really effective. My cousin Su He, who was just angry, has now been charmed by Liu Ruyan.

"Don't think that just because you're bribing me, I won't be angry anymore. My brother is so young!" Although Su He said she was refusing, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan slapped her thigh and said, "I passed by a gold shop yesterday and there was a gold bracelet inside that I felt matched your temperament perfectly. So, I bought it on the spot yesterday, thinking of giving it to my future sister-in-law later."

"Ah, really?!" Su He's eyes lit up.

Liu Ruyan: "Of course, I checked. Eighty-eight grams, not too light, not too heavy, just right!"

"Ahem, well, I'm entrusting my cousin to your care. If he misbehaves, just give him a good beating. It's okay, he's tough," Su He said with a smile, her tone changing from before to one of kindness and friendliness.

Lin Mo: →_→

"No, you agreed to this just because of a gold bracelet? And you even let her beat me up? Aren't you my own sister?"

Su He sneered upon hearing this: "You bastard!"

Lin Mo:
"Hey? You weren't like this just now. You were talking like my own sister, like I need a three-way interrogation to even date someone. How come you're saying now that the gold bracelet is so useful?"

"Of course not, there are also watches, cars, bags, and all kinds of skin care products, right? You're too young to know, Ruyan's skin care products are all high-quality, super expensive. She only gives them to me on my birthday, so this is just a coincidence," her cousin Su He said with a smile.

Originally, she only wanted to make something casual and cause Liu Ruyan to bleed a little money, but she didn't expect it to be such a huge success. She even became a rich woman. It was all worth raising her cousin for three years. She had put in so much effort and suffered so much during those three years. Just the cost of entertaining him alone had put a lot of money into him. Now, all the investment from the first three years has been recovered, and she has even made a profit.

It feels like raising pigs for three years, finally getting them ready for market, finding a good buyer, and making a fortune. How could you not be happy?
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, "So, Su Su, what should you call me now?"

"Well, seeing how sincere you are, I can call you sister-in-law," Su He said calmly after composing herself, though she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan immediately smiled. Although the process was somewhat awkward, at least the result was good. In short, being able to win over her sister-in-law by spending a little money was definitely not a loss for her.

Actually, she was just scaring herself. Even if she didn't offer any benefits, what could Su He do? The two of them had already established a relationship, and the deed was done. Even if Su He knew, she could only accept it with a guilty conscience. As for opposition, even Lin Mo's own mother couldn't do anything about it, so what use was her cousin?

Su He realized this, which is why, after accidentally discovering their relationship today, she took the opportunity to back down after asking for a little something.

Because she knew that once Liu Ruyan realized what was happening, she would be completely helpless and there would be nothing she could do.

"That's great, we're together now, so you can rest assured," Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Mo limped forward two steps, tugged at Liu Ruyan's arm, and said helplessly, "Are you stupid? We're dating, why are you giving her so many things? A watch, car keys, and a big gold bracelet. Do you have money to burn?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she realized that her price was a bit too high. She then said, "In that case, your salary card will be mine from now on to make up for my losses. Su Su, is that alright?"

"No problem. I'm in charge of the restaurant's finances. I'll hand it over to you in a bit. Oh, and my brother has a bank card. Remember to bring it over. What does a man need so much money on him? You take it. Just make sure he doesn't starve. Save some money for you two to buy a house and get married in the future."

Liu Ruyan: "That's great! You truly are my best friend!"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
No? So you just waved your hand and gave me a car, a watch, and even a gold bracelet, and in the end I'm the one who suffers the loss?
Lin Mo felt a wave of despair wash over him. He had worked so hard to save up ten million, but then his girlfriend dumped him and his entire family.

"No, you're really a bandit. You're already so rich, why are you still eyeing my little bit of money?"

Seeing Liu Ruyan sitting on the sofa, smiling as she held her bank card, Lin Mo couldn't help but groan.

He knew beforehand that dating would be expensive, since Lao Zhao in the dorm often ran out of money because he had a girlfriend and would come to the three godfathers for a free meal at the end of each month when he was starving. But he didn't expect it to be so expensive!
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him and said reproachfully, "How can that be the same? It feels more fulfilling to spend your boyfriend's money!"
Don't worry, I won't restrict your spending, but you have to keep the money with me. I'll save it for you. Dowry, car, house—all of these cost money.

Besides, you're a man, and you don't have any business that requires working capital, so why keep so much money on you? From now on, I'll take care of everything you wear, from top to bottom, inside and out, including your food, clothing, shelter, and transportation."

In response, Lin Mo turned to his cousin and said, "Cousin, say something! Say something!"

Hearing this, Su He remained quite calm. Now that her cousin and Liu Ruyan had established a relationship, the amount of money her cousin had was an astronomical figure for her, but for Liu Ruyan, it was just pocket change.

They weren't worried about Liu Ruyan running off with the money; on the contrary, if Liu Ruyan was in charge of the money, their relationship would actually become closer. He then said:

"Cousin, I'm indebted to them, I'm willing but unable to help!"

Lin Mo:
