Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 507 Miss Yuan Visits
At 7:30 p.m., Lin Mo was eating his parents' leftovers at the dining table, while his mother, Zhou Min, was stir-frying some cured meat for him in the kitchen.

While stir-frying, he kept muttering, "You kid, you should have told me before you came back. Luckily, your dad bought groceries today."

"And why didn't you come out when we were cooking so loudly? If I had known my eldest son was coming back, I would have cooked a few more dishes. What a mess!"

"It's okay, Mom. I'll just have a bite. I ate some rice noodles outside before I came back, so I'm not hungry!" Lin Mo said, showing off his rice.

Mom Zhou Min: "That won't do either. How can you not eat when you're home?"

"Dumplings before boarding, noodles upon arrival. My son had some rice noodles, so he's had a meal. He's fine," the father said at that moment, then continued, "By the way, son, how did you get back?"

"Go ahead and drive. Aren't you parked in our parking space?" Lin Mo replied matter-of-factly.

Before he could finish speaking, Dad exclaimed in surprise, "What? That black car is yours?"

"Otherwise what? I can't just park in someone else's parking space!" Lin Mo said, somewhat surprised.

Then Lao Lin and his mother Zhou Min exchanged a glance and chose to remain silent. Wasn't this a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple? If she had known it was her son who was coming back, would she have bothered to curse like that downstairs?
Well, they've started insulting their own people.

Immediately, Zhou Min and her husband exchanged a glance and tacitly decided to forget what had happened downstairs.

"What's wrong? Did you let the air out of my tires?" Lin Mo asked, looking at the two old people who had just bought the car.

Upon hearing this, Dad quickly waved his hand: "Hey, am I that kind of person?"

"You're not, but my mom is, so please don't mess with me!" Lin Mo couldn't help but say.

We're all from the same family, so there's no need to hide our personalities or temperaments; everyone knows each other.

His mother is a teacher and loves to scold her students. She has a slightly strong personality and is the type who won't suffer any loss. If she finds out that their parking space is occupied by another car, their tires might go flat!
"No, no, don't worry, your car is fine. By the way, your car..." Comrade Lin quickly explained that his car was fine, and then changed the subject to his car.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo opened his mouth and said that the car was his own, worth about 200 million yuan, and that his parents would scold him for being a spendthrift.

He claims his restaurant is making a lot of money, several million a month, but it's also running into problems. He's currently embroiled in a dispute with someone, and if he tells them, his parents might insist on going over to see what's going on. And there's a good chance that's true.

After all, Jiangning is too close to their home. The two elders can go there on Saturdays and Sundays, and even come back on the same day.

But if he said that he got a girlfriend and that he got the car by living off her, his dad would definitely pat him on the shoulder and say, "Good lad, you're a true son." His mom, on the other hand, would be curious about the girl's identity. Since Liu Ruyan was currently out of town and couldn't be brought back, his mom would constantly check up on him and ask about his progress. There would be no other benefits.

After thinking it over, Lin Mo decided to use a compromise.

"This car belongs to my good brother, a rich man. It's the one I told you about when I came back last time. I'm going home, can I borrow it for a couple of days?" Lin Mo said.

Lin Mo mentioned Miss Yuan's matter last time, so the two elders naturally knew that their son had a very good female friend outside, and that she was also very rich.

Hearing this, the two nodded. Old Lin didn't doubt it. After all, Su He's friend had driven a Maybach over to play on October 1st. There were plenty of rich people out there.

"Oh, I see. You'd better be careful not to bump into or scratch it. This car must be very expensive, a Mercedes!" Dad instructed.

Lin Mo nodded: "It's not cheap, but it's okay, I'll be careful."

Just then, Zhou Min, the mother, finished stir-frying the cured meat and brought the plate out to place on the dining table: "By the way, son, why did you suddenly come back?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo paused for a moment before slowly smiling and saying, "It's nothing, I just got bored staying over there and thought I'd come back to visit."

We don't have classes now, and all my classmates have gone to job fairs. A few friends and classmates and I are opening a shop together, and it seems to be doing quite well.

When he came back last time, he said he wanted to do something himself, so his parents knew he had money, but they didn't take it from him.

"Really? You must be very tired. Look at you, you look much more haggard than when you came back last time. You look like you haven't slept well. Making money is good, but you have to take care of your health and not overwork yourself, son." Looking at her eldest son's haggard face, his mother Zhou Min couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Although she was happy that her son had started his own business and it was doing well, seeing him looking so haggard broke her heart. Just a little over a month ago, Lin Mo had returned home looking radiant, but now he looked so worn out, his eyes were sunken, and he seemed listless. She even felt that her son's already thin face had become even thinner.

These changes are definitely related to work pressure. Although neither of them has ever started a business, they know how tough it is.

Listening to his mother's words, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile. He felt a warm current in his heart, as if the fatigue from the past few days' journey had lessened considerably.

"I know, Mom. It's okay, it'll be fine in a while," Lin Mo said with a smile.

As he spoke, Lin Mo began to enthusiastically eat the rice with the cured meat, thoroughly enjoying his meal.

Although his mother's cooking was just average, especially after he learned to cook, her skills became even worse, his taste buds had long been accustomed to the flavors, so he still enjoyed the food immensely.

'Boom dong dong'

Just then, there was a knock on the living room door.

Upon hearing this, the three were taken aback, but Lin Mo didn't think much of it. After all, this was his hometown, and almost all of his parents' relatives and friends lived here. It was quite normal for them to come and visit.

"Coming," Zhou Min said, getting up to open the door.

But when she saw the people outside the door, she was a little stunned. There were three people standing at the door, two men and one woman, each carrying something in their hands.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Zhou Min, the mother, asked.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan, who was in the center of the group, spoke first: "Hello, Auntie, is this Lin Mo's house?"

"Yes, son, they're looking for you." Hearing that they were looking for her son, Zhou Min nodded immediately, then stepped aside to let the three of them into the house, while calling out to her son.

Lin Mo recognized the voice when Miss Yuan spoke and was startled. Fortunately, his plan was already complete, so he wasn't worried about Miss Yuan and the others discovering anything. He got up and went to the door, where he saw the familiar trio.

"Mom, this is my good older brother, Sister Yuan, these two are my college classmates, my roommates, Wang Bo and Li Chuan, this is my mom, and this is my dad!" Lin Mo and Old Lin came over together and quickly introduced them to the group.

Hearing this, her mother, Zhou Hui, quickly brought slippers for them: "Oh, you guys, come in quickly, have you eaten yet? If not, we can eat together!"

"Great! I'm really hungry, Auntie. Here's some donkey-hide gelatin for you, it's good for your health, just a little something to show my appreciation. Uncle, I heard from Mozai that you like to drink, so I brought you two bottles of Moutai."

Miss Yuan had no concept of politeness. When she heard there was food to be had, she naturally accepted it without hesitation, even if it was her first time visiting.

Although he was quite greedy, he still maintained proper manners, greeting the elderly couple politely and returning the food they had prepared.

As for Chuanmei and Wang Chu, each of them received a pastry gift box plus a bag of fruit.

"Hello, Auntie" *2
"Hello, Uncle" *2
The two of them acted like NPCs, following Miss Yuan around like tagalongs.

Two minutes later, Miss Yuan sat at the dining table, proudly showing off her rice and eating stir-fried cured pork: "Wow~ Auntie, your cured pork is so delicious, it's absolutely amazing!"

When she spoke, she was like a little hamster, and her cute and adorable appearance made her mother, Zhou Min, fall in love with her immediately.

This little darling is not only so cute, but also so eloquent. Most importantly, she actually praised my cooking, and the way she wolfed it down didn't seem like a polite compliment at all.

Even Lin Mo and her husband had never actually praised her with any actions. For a moment, Zhou Min, the mother, felt a little giddy and was so flattered that she became somewhat delusional.

He yelled at Old Lin, who was pouring water for the three of them, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and go downstairs to buy groceries! This girl loves meat!"

His father was so frightened that he immediately put down his things and went out without hesitation.

Lin Mo:
