Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 676 Release the news
The Fire Kirin looks good and has a strong ability to disguise itself. Even if he holds it in front of Zhao Yun, she won't think it's a real gun. But as long as he takes it out and leaves it at home, someone will always try to pry it open. Once they get their hands on it, it will be completely exposed. It's not worth it.

After all, it's his family. Liu Ruyan is alright, although the two live together, she really has no interest in these kinds of male toys. But the other living fathers are different.

Although Miss Yuan is a woman, her curiosity is stronger than that of men. It's just that there weren't any special items in the glass display case in his residence, otherwise she would have picked them up and played with them long ago.

After all, the board game "The Creation of the World" was left at her place for a day, which resulted in two power outages in the apartment building.

As for Chuanmei and Wang Chu, there's no need to say more. Even if it's just a toy water gun, let alone a real gun with the Fire Qilin appearance, they would still play with it if they saw it.

If the gun were to accidentally go off, unless it turns out to be a weapon that's a toy gun for others but a real gun for him, he really wouldn't be interested.

The gold-plated silver bracelet was interesting; it could be a prop to test couples. But he had confidence in Liu Ruyan, and the two of them didn't need to be tested. Besides, Liu Ruyan wasn't short of a gold bracelet.

Moreover, he knew perfectly well that feelings couldn't be tested, because once you started testing them, problems would inevitably arise sooner or later. Of course, on the day Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan confirmed their relationship, he had given her a hairpin, and that hairpin alone might have been enough to ensure that their relationship wouldn't have any problems, so this thing was completely useless to him.

Of course, if the option of being possessed by the God of Gamblers didn't exist, he wouldn't mind buying it to play with. If all else failed, he could give it to He Xiaoyue and maybe find out the attitude of her ambiguous love interest.

The "God of Gamblers Possessing Him" ​​ability is quite good. Although it's just a trial version, lasting only 24 hours, if used properly, it can bring him a windfall.

Of course, this thing can't be used in mainland China, but it might work in Macau.

But upon closer reflection, Lin Mo also realized that there were many limitations. Although he could legally enter that place, when it came to gambling, how could he not cheat?

If he wins every time he gambles, winning hundreds of thousands or millions is nothing special. But once he reaches tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, it will inevitably attract the attention of some people.

It's not that the bookmaker can't afford to pay out; the key is that they win every time they gamble.

If he doesn't lose a single game, he'll soon be noticed. If he continues to play, he'll offend the other party, and the other party will definitely resort to underhanded tactics.

Lin Mo is not a gambler and has no gambling addiction. When he plays mahjong with relatives and friends during holidays, he rarely plays for money. If he does play, it's only a hundred or two hundred yuan.

It's not worth offending the local bullies there, but this thing is undeniably a good one. Making a few million or tens of millions shouldn't be a problem. The important thing is not to get carried away and to know when to quit while you're ahead. They won't do anything to you just because you've won money.

Because once he gets into a trance, with his invincible gambling buff, if the house doesn't cheat, people will definitely think he's cheating. Conversely, if the house does cheat, his buff won't work.

He'd seen plenty of variety shows before; those skilled dealers could deal cards however they wanted, and it was too easy for them to cheat secretly.

That's how the saying "nine out of ten gambling games are rigged" came about, but he still bought it anyway, since he could at least cut back on making a little extra money.

But let's skip it today. He can't get through here, so he'll find a chance to go for a stroll over there later.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he is not so short of money now and his mindset has changed. If it were a few months ago, when he first got the shopping page, he would have borrowed money to buy a plane ticket and go there immediately.

After all, he was dirt poor at the time. When you're that poor, who would resist such temptation? It's better to have the money in hand, even if it's just three or five hundred thousand.

The prerequisite was quite simple: polish ten pairs of leather shoes. This reminded him of a French gambling god in a movie who immediately asked someone to polish his shoes and check his cards.

However, he didn't have any leather shoes, but Liu Ruyan did. He could polish them for her sometime. Liu Zhengyuan probably had some too, but could he polish them for this old man? That would be too embarrassing, as he was a distinguished guest!

Although he couldn't reap the benefits immediately, Lin Mo was still in a pretty good mood because of such good luck so early in the morning.

When he went downstairs, the two housekeepers were already busy in the kitchen. Lin Mo didn't go up to talk to them, mainly because the two housekeepers called him either "Young Master Lin" or "Mr. Lin," which sounded strange.

The villa's yard was large enough for him to move around in. Apart from the Fuyang Zhuang exercise, he had stopped doing other morning exercises for several days, which made him feel a little unaccustomed to it.

Soon, another hour passed. While Lin Mo was doing his morning exercise in the villa's courtyard, Liu Ruyan and her daughter were whispering to each other from the window in Liu Ruyan's room, watching Lin Mo in the courtyard.

"Xiao'e, is Xiaolin such a diligent child? Does he also have the habit of exercising? I just heard your Aunt Wang downstairs say that Xiaolin came downstairs around six o'clock," Ms. Cheng asked curiously.

While getting up at this time isn't unusual—after all, regular workers get up at three or four in the morning—it's rare to see young people getting up this early to exercise.

These days, whose child doesn't stay awake all day and sleep all night? Even at her age, she still loves to sleep in.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan, dressed in a plain white nightgown, tucked her slightly messy long hair behind her ears, leaned against the window, propped her chin on one hand, yawned and laughed, "He does have a habit of morning exercise. He's had it ever since I met him. If he didn't exercise, how would he have any muscles?"

However, after we got together, I disrupted his morning exercise routine many times, but no matter what, he never missed a single time practicing his horse stance!

Ms. Cheng glanced at Lin Mo, who was beginning his stance training, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there any special meaning behind his horse stance?"

"I don't know? It's just for regular exercise, right?" Liu Ruyan said.

Although she had seen Lin Mo practice standing meditation more than once, she never took it seriously, and Lin Mo naturally couldn't explain to her that this thing was called the Yang-supporting stance, that would be too embarrassing.

People who don't know him might think he has kidney deficiency at such a young age, even though he has had it before.

"I think so. Think about it, Xiaolin's teacher is Professor Li, a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor. As we all know, traditional Chinese medicine is the best at health preservation, so there must be something special about this horse stance."

"Besides, putting everything else aside, the horse stance can at least strengthen your lower body and waist. The fact that you can eat so well is definitely related to Xiao Lin's exercise routine," Ms. Cheng analyzed, stroking her chin.

It must be said that not only are the characters of Emperor Ruyan not ugly, but most of them are also very intelligent. Although the process of guessing was a little wrong, at least the result was correct.

Liu Ruyan's ability to eat so well is indeed closely related to his Fuyang Pillow. Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's pretty face blushed slightly: "That's because I carefully selected a good one, and I also benefited from being young."

"Tch, what's with the vanity? If you hadn't inherited my good looks, do you think Kobayashi would have fallen for you?"

"Alright, take your time reading. Hurry up and wash up. I'll go wake your dad up and let him exercise with Xiaolin. It might be worth a shot, no matter what!" After saying that, Ms. Cheng turned and left Liu Ruyan's room.

Soon, Liu Zhengyuan's wails came from the other bedroom. Before long, he was pushed downstairs with a reluctant expression.

Hearing the commotion, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but chuckle. Her father was already so old, yet he still had to suffer like this. Sure enough, in this family, her mother was the most rebellious.

She even thought that if her mother were 30 years younger, she would definitely be able to get along with Lin Mo, Yuan Meng, and their group of friends, since they were all quite abstract.

Just as Lin Mo was standing in front of the courtyard steps, Liu Zhengyuan came up to him, trembling, and asked, "Hey Lin, what are you doing?"

"Good morning, Uncle. I'm just doing a quick stretch. What brings you here?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan's expression stiffened. How could he possibly admit that he had been kicked out by his wife to exercise? He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Hehe, well, I'll also do some exercise. I see you're doing a horse stance, why don't you teach me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo knew perfectly well that Comrade Liu was not telling the truth, but he did not expose him. Instead, he took Liu Zhengyuan along for the event.

After all, judging from Lao Liu's physique and round belly, he doesn't look like someone who exercises regularly. Although he's not as old as Professor Mu, his physical condition is far inferior.

He now doubts whether Liu Zhengyuan will even outlive Professor Mu, that little old lady.

Then the two men, one old and one young, started moving around in the yard. Lin Mo didn't put any intensity on Old Liu; he just warmed him up. They didn't even run; the warm-up alone was enough to make Old Liu sweat profusely.

Half an hour passed in a flash. Lin Mo finished his standing meditation and felt a warm current in his lower abdomen, which made him feel satisfied and relaxed. Old Liu, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it for more than a minute and insisted that he was cold and went back first. But that was normal. He had sweated so much and was not exercising. It would be strange if he wasn't cold in this temperature outside.

As soon as he entered the living room on the first floor, Ms. Cheng came up to him, looked him up and down, and then smiled and said, "Young people are so lucky, you didn't break a sweat at all, unlike your uncle, who sweats as soon as he exercises. Alright, don't bother changing your clothes, wash your hands first, let's have breakfast!"

"Okay, Auntie," Lin Mo readily complied, behaving very obediently.

After all, whether it was his age or his impression on Ms. Cheng, he was the kind of well-behaved boy who was viewed through a filter.

Soon, the four of them, including Lin Mo's family, were sitting in the restaurant. Although it was breakfast, there was quite a variety of dishes.

Pumpkin porridge, sea cucumber porridge, beef patties, steamed buns, eggs, side dishes, and even two kinds of southern-style morning tea.

Normally, the feast wouldn't be this lavish; it was only because Lin Mo was coming that Ms. Cheng specifically instructed that it be prepared.

"Dad, you're already dressed. Do you have something to do later?" Liu Ruyan asked Liu Zhengyuan, who was dressed neatly, while eating at the dinner table.

Liu Zhengyuan nodded in response: "Okay, go out and have some tea with your friends, talk about some things. You and Xiaolin stay home with your mother!"

"Accompany me? I'm a grown man, do I need anyone to accompany me? Xiao'e, why don't you take Xiaolin out for a walk today, so that you two young people won't be bored at home."

"If I have nothing to do, I'll go find someone to play a couple of rounds of cards. By the way, your friends will be back for the holidays soon, aren't you going to visit them?" Ms. Cheng said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded: "They did come back. They even sent me a message yesterday asking if I was back. If I'm free today, I'll take my brother out to meet them and introduce him to them."

“Sure, having more friends means having more options. You young people can go have fun on your own. Xiao Lin, don’t be nervous. They’re all kids from around here. Go out and meet Xiao’e. They’re all good kids. You never know when you might need them,” Ms. Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded: "Okay, Auntie, I'm fine with anything!"

Although he felt something was off, he couldn't figure out exactly what the problem was, so he decided to go along with whatever the host suggested.

Soon after breakfast, Liu Zhengyuan went out first, got into his car and left. Shortly after, Ms. Cheng also went out, saying she was going for a walk.

Lin Mo then looked at Liu Ruyan and smiled, "So, what are we going to do?"

"What do you mean, 'how to say it'? Change your clothes, I'll take you to meet my friends!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

In response, Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "Don't try to fool me. Of course I know I'm going to see your friend. The key is that you need to give me an explanation, right?"

Friendships are something you can choose to see or not see. Even if the two of them were dating or married, he could choose not to meet Liu Ruyan's friends. But since Ms. Cheng specifically mentioned it today, he knew that things were not so simple.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly: "Oh, not bad, little brother's IQ has improved recently, you even noticed that!"

"Come on, you're making me sound like an idiot," Lin Mo said, rolling her eyes at him.

Although it is true that his IQ has increased, even if he hadn't increased his intelligence, he could have noticed something was wrong with this kind of thing with a little thought.

"Hey, it's all about the same, at least it's a bit better than before. As for the reason, well, it's all about spreading the news," Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Release information? What information?"

"Duh, of course it's about me bringing my boyfriend home, to stop some people from making a move on me, so that it won't look bad for everyone!"

Lin Mo:
