Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

The mother and daughter, one stopping him from speaking under the table, and the other set the matter at hand, saying that as a businessman, a small loss is not a loss, but a big loss is unacceptable.

Because small losses can be covered by favors, but big losses are either foolish or charitable.

Both mother and daughter have a talent for business and naturally understand this principle. They can accept a loss if they have a good relationship with each other because of the favors they have. But turning 1600 million into 200 million is unacceptable.

Although the money ultimately belongs to Lin Mo, it will all be their family's money from now on.

Ms. Jiang never expected that the facial cleanser she used before would be so expensive, considering that she had spent 10 yuan to get it back then.

The product I have now has a similar effect to that face wash, or even worse, but it's worth so much money. It's outrageous.

But despite this, she was reluctant to give up, since her family had the means.

Secondly, buying these two portions will strengthen the connection between the two families. You know, the other people's portions are only a quarter of what they have, and they can only be used for facial care, which already speaks volumes.

To put it bluntly, if she wanted to, she could easily make a profit by reselling it, so she wouldn't lose money.

So not only did she not mind the high price, she also felt indebted to the person who gave her the favor.

After the meal, everyone returned to the living room to eat and drink tea, which served as a way to digest their food.

Miss Yuan sprawled on the sofa, patting her bulging belly with a satisfied expression and squinting her eyes, saying, "Auntie's sweet fermented rice balls are still the most authentic, and the food is so delicious too, much better than the in-home kitchen I called yesterday!"

"Home kitchen service?" Ms. Jiang asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo explained, "We didn't want to cook yesterday, nor did we want to eat out, so Sister Yuan called a private chef to come and cook for us."

He was afraid that Miss Yuan might say something outrageous and embarrassing, so he spoke first.

"Oh? It must be tough on Xiao Mo. My daughter has never lifted a finger since she was little. She can't cook any dishes, and the most she can do is make instant noodles," Ms. Cheng sighed helplessly.

In her eyes, although they could hire a live-in housekeeper, the two young people still needed to cook occasionally, especially on Wednesdays. Lin Mo had such a high workload at work, and he felt a little guilty having to cook for his daughter when he got home.

“Hey, isn’t this one different too? They’re all spoiled, and this one in my family is even edible,” Ms. Jiang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright. Everyone has their own job. Besides, I run a restaurant, so cooking isn't difficult for me."

"But we can't make you do it every day, especially when you're tired from work. If you two don't want to hire a live-in housekeeper, Xiao'e, you should learn to cook a couple of dishes from now on, understand?"
"At least when Xiao Mo comes home from get off work in the evening, he's exhausted after a long day, you can't expect him to wait on you around!" Ms. Cheng pinched her daughter and said.

Ms. Jiang, who was standing nearby, also wanted to take the opportunity to teach her daughter a lesson, but when she saw her husband's round belly, she suddenly lost all interest.

Cooking? She's afraid her daughter will show off the food before it's even plated.

"Ah~~Mom~~" Liu Ruyan exclaimed, then rubbed her arm and scolded.

She doesn't like cooking, and she's not good at it either; she's even bad at washing dishes.

Besides, they're living together now and don't have a live-in housekeeper. Once they get married and move to a bigger house, they'll naturally need to hire one. What's the big deal?

"What do you mean, 'Mom'? You can't do anything difficult? Can't you even cook something simple? Your mom and dad worked hard together back then, and she still knew how to cook."

"You don't have to cook, but you can't be incapable of doing it. Otherwise, if the community gets locked down again, you'll starve!" Ms. Cheng scolded, tapping her daughter's forehead.

Lin Mo broke off a banana and joined Miss Yuan in watching the spectacle. Liu Ruyan rarely gets a chance to be humiliated!
The group then chatted and drank tea, taking the opportunity to refine their business plans for next Sunday.

Ms. Jiang said that she has several people who are sure they want it. If they use it tonight, she will show them the effects and let everyone spread the word. It's only 24 units, so it will be easy to sell.

The two wealthy women's extensive networks were on full display at this moment, leaving Lin Mo deeply moved.

"By the way, Ruyan, when are you and Xiaolin planning to get married?" After chatting for a while, Ms. Jiang started to gossip and asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan blushed and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll have to wait until he graduates!"

Ms. Jiang was taken aback, almost forgetting that Lin Mo hadn't graduated yet.

Ms. Cheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's up to them to decide. Her father and I won't rush them. As long as the child likes it, that's fine!" Lin Mo felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this and could only chuckle.

"Xiao Lin doesn't mind, but Ru Yan, you need to hurry up and get married and have children as soon as possible. Your body will recover faster. Look at your mother, she recovered her figure so well because she gave birth to you early," Ms. Jiang said enviously.

Cheng Qing smiled slightly upon hearing this. Her figure was something she was very proud of, but she said modestly, "Oh, it's only because I only had her. Otherwise, I would have been in trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan's eyes lit up, and she nudged Lin Mo with her elbow, asking, "Hey, Mo-zai, how many children do you want to have? I want to be your kids' godfather!"

Everyone:.
"What a godfather!" Ms. Jiang slapped her daughter on the back, saying, "Get lost! You call yourself a godfather? Don't you have any manners?"

Miss Yuan, who had just been slapped, grimaced and writhed on the sofa like a maggot.

"I'm fine with either, but I'd prefer just one!" Lin Mo said somewhat uncertainly.

He has never really thought about how many children he wants, because he still considers himself a child.

"No way, I'm planning to have two. My mom only had one child, me, and my brother's family only has one. I have to have two children, preferably a boy and a girl, to make a perfect family!" Liu Ruyan said after thinking for a moment.

Although she is an only child and enjoys all the love from her parents, she is also a little envious of those who have siblings.

If any elderly family members get sick in the future, there will be someone to help them. Besides, her family is well-off enough to support them.

To put it bluntly, when the time comes to remove the life support, at least there will be someone to discuss things with.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan was taken aback: "To make a 'good' character? What about you, Mo-zai?"

Lin Mo: "Uh, I'm fine with anything!"

Miss Yuan: "You want to make a good character too? Then I suggest you go hang yourself and make a 'dick' character instead!"

Lin Mo:
Liu Ruyan:
Ms. Jiang: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"Come on, let's go home. Yuan Meng, you're asking for it again, aren't you? I'm going to give you a good spanking today!"

At 3:30 p.m., Lin Mo stood at the entrance of Liu Ruyan's villa, ready to say goodbye.

"Auntie, you should go back now. It's cold. I'll be going now," Lin Mo said, waving his hand.

Hearing this, Ms. Cheng smiled and nodded: "You and Yuanyuan drive carefully. Xiao'e will stay at home for one night. She will go back tomorrow, and I will teach her how to cook!"

Lin Mo wanted to offer some advice, but seeing Ms. Cheng's resolute expression and Emperor Ruyan's utterly despondent look, he kept quiet.

"Mo Zai, stop dawdling and get in the car!"

Just then, Miss Yuan's urging voice came from behind, followed by Ms. Jiang's exasperated voice.

"You brat, open the car door for me! Open it! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Seeing this, Lin Mo gave Liu Ruyan an apologetic look, then turned around, ran a few steps, caught up with Miss Yuan's car, opened the door and got in. Immediately afterward, Miss Yuan stepped on the gas and the car sped away.

Ms. Jiang was left standing there, furious, practically seething with rage.

Inside the car, seeing that her mother wasn't chasing after her anymore, Miss Yuan couldn't help but pat her already nonexistent conscience, and said with lingering fear, "I was so scared! I finally escaped. Mo-zai, aren't I awesome!"

Lin Mo: "Are you also planning to hang yourself?"

Miss Yuan: "Get out of here, what am I going to do!"

Lin Mo: "How am I supposed to see you if you don't hang yourself?"

Miss Yuan:
