Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 682 An Unfamiliar Home
For Miss Yuan, these two people thought she was in their way and secretly slacked her off, which was even worse than not taking her out to play at all.

If they weren't going to bring it, they weren't going to bring it, and they even lied. Miss Yuan decided to beat these two to a pulp and vent her anger.

You know, she's been holding in a lot of anger these past few days because she went to her grandma's house, and she's really irritable right now!

But she had no choice. None of her friends were around, and she was very bored by herself. In the end, she decided to go to the city to complain to He Xiaoyue.

I'll also ask in the group what everyone is up to and when they'll be back.

Miss Yuan is a lively person, and this situation is worse than killing her.

Meanwhile, on the highway, Lin Mo drove very steadily, maintaining an average speed of around 100 km/h, and kept to the right in the slow lane.

Logically speaking, today should be the peak of the return journey, but fortunately the two of them left early, and the highway was flat and smooth, making for a very comfortable drive.

Sure enough, as long as he didn't take his cousin's car home, there was no chance of getting stuck in traffic.

'Buzz~ Buzz, buzz buzz buzz buzz~'

"What's wrong, Sister Ruyan? Who sent the message?" Lin Mo asked while driving.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan, sitting in the passenger seat, waved his phone and laughed, "Who else could it be but Yuanyuan? She's texting you right now, but they all look like 60-second voice messages. Do you want me to open them for you?"

Lin Mo was shocked to hear this: "There's no need for that. Just play dead and pretend you didn't see anything!"

What a joke! It's a 60-second voice message; you can be sure it's full of insults. He doesn't enjoy being scolded.

"My mom just messaged me saying that Yuanyuan came to see us. See? You listened to your sister, right?"

"If we hadn't left yesterday, she would definitely have come with us today," Liu Ruyan said smugly.

Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh: "How do you know she won't follow us? You know, she's been to my house before."

"It's not out of the question, so let's stay for one day and then run away tomorrow afternoon. What do you think?"

As for today, although Yuanyuan is abstract, she is not unaware of the importance of things. We are going home to take care of important business.

"It's safe for a short period of time, but it's hard to say what will happen in the long run," Liu Ruyan said.

She never underestimated Miss Yuan's level of abstract thinking, but she also knew that Miss Yuan was not the kind of person who knew nothing. As long as she controlled the scale well, it would be very easy to manipulate her.

The Maybach sped along the highway in good condition, and after a little over two hours, the two exited the highway and arrived in Nancheng.

Liu Ruyan, who had been laughing and joking in the car at the beginning, has stopped now, and her pretty face shows a hint of nervousness.

"Hey Mom, don't rush me. We just got off the highway. Yes, it'll be another twenty minutes or so."

Don't worry, it's okay, I'm not driving fast. Okay, I'll talk to you later!

After saying that, Lin Mo hung up the phone and sighed helplessly. Since this morning, his mother had called no less than five times. Even without being face to face, he could feel his mother's excitement.

"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Mo asked Liu Ruyan, who was silent and had a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but put on a mournful face and wailed, "Little brother, I...I'm a little nervous!"

"Nervous? You are the Great Emperor Ruyan, why are you afraid of her?" Lin Mo laughed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan glared at him and spat, "Get lost! How can you not be nervous about something like this? Even if I really am the Great Emperor Ruyan, I'm not playing the role of a wicked daughter-in-law."

"That's as if my mom is playing the role of a wicked mother-in-law. Relax, you just need to stand there and you can control my mom. After all, who doesn't like a pretty girl?" Lin Mo laughed.

Although his mother, Zhou Min, had previously hoped that he would marry an ordinary girl because she was afraid he wouldn't be able to keep a woman who was too beautiful, that was before.

Since returning home in October, he has changed drastically, and he immediately became a different person in his mother's eyes.

My son is so handsome, so of course he needs to be paired with a beautiful woman. After all, we have to think about the genes of the next generation!

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan was pleased, but it didn't dispel her concerns. She quickly took out the mirror from the passenger seat and checked her face to see if there was any peeling or anything.

She even wore light makeup when she came today. You know, ever since Liu Ruyan started using facial cleanser, she hasn't worn makeup at all, but this time she was clearly nervous.

Fortunately, her makeup was very light; she only drew her eyebrows and applied a light-colored lip gloss.

"Little brother, do you think my clothes are decent?" Liu Ruyan asked, turning to the side.

Today, Liu Ruyan was dressed in very ordinary clothes: white snow boots with velvet, a beige long coat with a belt around her waist, and light blue, very loose jeans, covering herself up completely, even her neck.

Her long hair was simply draped behind her head, and she wore no jewelry, not even a watch.

She looks like a pretty, well-behaved girl, with an added touch of sweetness. She really looks like a college student; if you didn't know better, you'd think she was a junior Lin Mo had picked up at university.

After discussing it with her friends for a long time and doing some research online, Liu Ruyan discovered that the girls her boyfriend's parents liked best were not the assertive type, but rather the fair-skinned, gentle-looking girls.

It's obvious that Liu Ruyan isn't, but she's good at pretending!
It's worth noting that Empress Ruyan, thanks to her modeling skills, can handle almost any style. She can be a strong woman at the company, a mature and sophisticated woman in front of Lin Mo, and naturally, she can also transform into a well-behaved girl when meeting elders.

I must say, with this outfit, she really does have that "white moonlight" vibe.

Although her clothes were of ordinary style, they looked much more sophisticated on her, making her appear less flamboyant and more demure.

She knew that Lin Mo came from an ordinary family and that his parents were also ordinary people, so she tried to make herself look less conspicuous and assertive. Clearly, her disguise was very successful.

Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, you're very proper, the sweet girl next door, my mom would be smitten with you!"

Liu Ruyan seemed to have been wearing glasses at first, trying to make herself look more obedient, but her glasses were either sunglasses or the kind without frames.

Wearing it won't make you look docile; instead, it will make you look a bit repressed and sultry.

When Lin Mo first met Liu Ruyan at her cousin Su He's place, she was dressed like that, both innocent and sophisticated, giving off a fiery aura.

Unfortunately, Su He had already stripped her naked before Lin Mo arrived.

After exiting the highway, the two quickly entered the main road of Nancheng City. Lin Mo was much more at ease driving here, after all, this was his hometown, and he was very familiar with the road conditions.

At 10:30 a.m., the two arrived at the entrance of the residential area. Lin Mo did not hesitate and drove straight in, but soon he noticed something was wrong. The car stopped in place.

"What's wrong? There are parking spaces over there, several!" Seeing this, Liu Ruyan thought he didn't know where to park, and pointed to the open space in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo frowned: "Something's not right!" "What's wrong?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Lin Mo didn't answer. Instead, he put the car in reverse, backed it out of the community gate, and looked around at the left, right, and the community gate itself: "Is this my community?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you recognize your own home?" Liu Ruyan laughed.

Lin Mo shook his head and drove the car in again, saying, "You don't understand. This neighborhood is too clean. I almost didn't recognize it. I've never seen a neighborhood this clean in my entire life."

And about that parking space you mentioned, this is an old neighborhood, there aren't any designated parking spaces. It's usually packed with cars, how could there be so much empty space? It's strange, absolutely strange!

Despite saying this, he still parked the car, and then the two of them got out.

After getting off the bus, the cleanliness of the neighborhood made his strange feeling even more pronounced.

"What are you looking at, little brother? Come here and help me get some things!" Liu Ruyan called out.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo snapped out of his reverie and hurriedly went to help Liu Ruyan retrieve the gifts from the trunk.

Cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea were all there; Liu Ruyan had stolen them from her home. That's right, she no longer steals; she's openly robbing people now.

There were also several pastries and fruit gift boxes, which were special gifts prepared for his parents.

His mother was wearing a knitted shawl, while his father was given a set of Yixing teaware, which, of course, was also taken from home.

Liu Ruyan casually picked up a few small trinkets to weigh down her hands, while the rest of her things were hanging on Lin Mo's body, and he even had a tote bag in his mouth, making him look extremely disheveled.

Fortunately, his house wasn't on a high floor, only the third floor, and the two of them quickly arrived at the door.

"Woo woo~" Lin Mo chewed on his handbag, making a wooing sound, signaling Liu Ruyan to knock on the door.

He's in such a state that he simply can't free his hands.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.

Immediately, Lin Mo's mother's voice came from inside the house: "Coming! Is that Yan Yan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, revealing Lin Mo's mother, Zhou Min, followed by his father, Lin Junmin.

"Oh my, Yan Yan, you've finally arrived! My goodness, you look so beautiful! Come in quickly, no need to take off your shoes, come in!" As soon as Zhou Min opened the door, her eyes were on Liu Ru Yan, and she didn't even glance at her own son.

His father, Lin Junmin, was also busy assisting his mother, his eyes always on Liu Ruyan.

Before Liu Ruyan could even speak, Zhou Hui pulled her into the house by the hand.

Although it was a bit of an exaggeration, Lin Mo didn't care. Just as she was about to follow her into the house, she heard her mother say, "Quickly close the door, don't let us freeze!"

The next second, the living room door slammed shut with a loud bang.

The force was so strong that it even created a gust of wind, making Lin Mo's face sting and almost knocking out his front teeth.

"That's right, he's been locked outside," the two elders exclaimed excitedly, not even noticing that there was someone else behind them.

Lin Mo:
"Hello Auntie, hello Uncle, this is a gift I brought for you," Liu Ruyan said, handing over the gift.

Then she turned to look for her boyfriend, since most of her things were with Lin Mo.

But when he turned around, he found that there was no one behind him.

"Woooooo~"

Just then, Lin Mo's whimpering sound came from outside the door, along with the sound of someone kicking the door.

"Oh dear, my son is still outside!" Lin Junmin slapped his forehead and hurriedly went to open the door.

Seeing this, Zhou Min merely glanced at her indifferently, then pulled Liu Ruyan's hand and led her to the sofa, saying, "You child, why are you being so polite with your aunt? Why did you bring anything? Sit down, you must be exhausted!"

Meanwhile, Lin Mo, who had just re-entered the room, couldn't help but roll his eyes at his father. Fortunately, he was the biggest contributor to the family today, and his father chuckled as he took all his belongings from him.

Just as Lin Mo was about to make a complaint, his eyes widened suddenly, and he blurted out a curse: "Holy crap, is this our home?"

He hadn't noticed it when he was outside, but as soon as he came in, he realized that the house was nothing like what he remembered. Anyone who didn't know better would think that his family had moved to a new house.

The entire house was completely renovated. The floor was so shiny it reflected light, the walls were covered with brand-new wallpaper, and none of the furniture was familiar to him; it was all new.

The sofa, TV, dining table, and even the overhead lights are all new.

"What are you talking about? It's not like your mother and I are the ones who can do this, is it?" Lin Junmin laughed.

Lin Mo ignored this and hurried to the kitchen, where he found that the kitchen, which had been yellowed, had been completely renovated, with new kitchenware and even a high-tech integrated stove. The refrigerator had also been replaced with a four-door smart refrigerator.

The bathroom was completely devoid of anything familiar; even the floor and wall tiles had been replaced, the toilet had been replaced, the sink had been upgraded with lighting, and a wet and dry separation system had been implemented.

Moreover, Lin Mo looked around his bedroom. The hard wooden bed he had built himself, measuring 2 meters by 1.8 meters, had been replaced with a soft cloud bed measuring 2 meters by 2 meters. The bedding was all new, and even the old wardrobe in his room had been replaced with a new one.

Most importantly, the bedroom also has a projector, a dressing table, and a separate air conditioner mounted on the wall.

The entire bedroom looked almost identical to his current place in Jiangning, except for the lack of a bathroom.

Honestly, he's been through all these years and he doesn't feel wronged. After all, having a private room is already pretty good.

However, when Liu Ruyan arrived, he realized that his parents weren't incapable of loving him, but rather simply too lazy to pay attention to him.

Wallpaper was installed throughout the house, and even electric curtain boxes were installed. Even the bedroom door was newly replaced.

Seeing this scene, Lin Mo almost cried. After so many years, he had finally been living a good life in this family. But when he thought that this room seemed to be his, but in reality it was not prepared for him, he wanted to cry even more.

Why should I be the one to suffer for over twenty years? I'm the family's biological son! Does that mean all my suffering has been for nothing?

Only at this moment did Lin Mo understand why some netizens said that this was the year they felt most confident when they were holding their girlfriends' hands and going home for the Chinese New Year.

Sure enough, the son can endure being wronged, but the daughter-in-law cannot!
