Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Miss Yuan is so shrewd. When she saw the 60-second voice message, she sensed something was wrong and immediately asked Zhang Wei to listen to it.

Anyway, as long as the phone isn't in my hands, it doesn't count as insulting me.

"That woman has no manners at all. She actually cursed at people. I feel like she's no good. The worst part is that she blocked me after cursing. She's so immoral," Miss Yuan said as she drove back.

They completely forgot that they were also a seasoned C language master.

Clearly, Zhang Wei's blind date failed yet again, and not only that, he also lost nearly two thousand yuan.

It was only recently that he received a windfall; otherwise, Zhang Wei would be in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. Even so, the money still stung a little.

Since they had already failed, it was natural for everyone to go home.

"She really has no manners. I even feel like she didn't even want Viagra the moment they met, she just wanted to get a free meal," He Xiaoyue said from the back seat.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look, and Miss Yuan even asked, "Oh? Xiaoyue, did you discover anything?"

"Well, she was just saying in the group chat that she met a guy who was a jerk, but when she chatted with me privately, she only said that the two of them weren't a good match and asked me to see if I could arrange a new blind date for her."

I'm starting to believe this woman is a shill for a meal, or at least one of those so-called socialites who rely on a facade of wealth and status.

The evidence was in her WeChat Moments. Although her blind date with Zhang Wei was unsuccessful, she had already posted photos of herself checking in at a restaurant, and Zhang Wei was not in the photos,” He Xiaoyue said, showing them to everyone on her phone.

Upon hearing this, the phone was passed around among the group. It must be said that the girl with the WeChat name "Xiaowanzi" did have a very refined Moments. At first, everyone thought she was a good catch, but now it seems that these so-called photos were probably all taken in this way.

As for whether it's a scam or not, that's debatable, but we can only say that it's a possibility.

Food scammers were common ten years ago, but they still exist now; it's just that they're almost impossible to guard against.

"Hey, it really is. Just block her already. What is this? Xiaoyue, if you're going to arrange offline meetings, remember to specify a place for them to eat, so those food scammers don't come to you for their jobs," Miss Yuan said after glancing at it.

She couldn't be sure if the girl was genuinely someone who spent that much, or if she was a shill. In that case, she decided to completely block that avenue.

Anyway, if it were Miss Yuan herself, and a blind date told her to split the bill, she would be eager to sever all ties.

"Okay, Sister Yuan, I'll block her right away!" He Xiaoyue made an OK sign.

Then Miss Yuan continued, "Oh, and don't tell Mozi about what happened today!"

"Sister Yuan, Lin Mo already knows that Zhang Wei went on a blind date. You even called him yourself. Have you forgotten? What are we going to say when he asks about the result?" the class monitor said helplessly.

This question posed no challenge to Miss Yuan: "Why don't we just say that Zhang Wei didn't like that girl?"
"Just say that the girl's photo doesn't match the real thing, that she's a fraud, otherwise wouldn't I, Sister Yuan, lose face?"

Thinking that Lin Mo might laugh at her if he found out about this, Miss Yuan took precautions in advance.

Losing some money is a small matter; losing face is a big deal.

"Sister Yuan, Mozi won't believe this, will he?" Director Wang asked from the side.

It's obvious that the difference in their appearances doesn't support this theory!
"Silly, if we all stick to the same story, then everything will be fine!" Miss Yuan argued logically.

Having no other choice, everyone reluctantly agreed.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo was completely ignoring all of this and was having dinner with the two women at home.

"This thing is actually a wedding invitation? Liu Ruyan, do all rich people do this?"

So, when you two get married, please be sure to invite me according to this standard.

"I swear, I absolutely don't like the gold inside. I just want to go to your wedding and give you my sincerest blessings!" Cousin Su He said, holding the invitation brought by Miss Yuan.

There was no way around it; this thing was obviously expensive. In Liu Ruyan's eyes, it might just be a wedding invitation, but in her eyes, it was a walking RMB, the kind that could be converted into cash.

Gold prices have gone up again, and I heard that another war is about to break out overseas, making gold more valuable every day.

However, there is one thing: this thing doesn't seem very stable.

Trading gold, silver, or any stock or futures has one thing in common: either go all in from the start, or don't touch it at all.

If ordinary people wait until they know this thing has skyrocketed before buying it, then there's a constant risk of it going to crash.

Keep your money in hand and don't keep thinking about getting on board halfway through. If you don't have the courage to go all in from the beginning, then don't try to gamble your hard-earned money on getting rich halfway through.

We shouldn't be envious when others make money, nor should we feel fortunate when others lose money. This is the mindset a normal person should have.

Both Lin Mo and her brother are like this. Otherwise, with gold prices soaring, not only would Lin Mo be out of the loop, but even Su He, who has accumulated some wealth over the years, hasn't invested in gold. Hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at her: "You little money-grubber, you're practically obsessed with money! If we get married, what more do you want? You'll be serving us dishes!"

"Get lost! I'm your sister-in-law! You want me to serve you dishes? You're going against the grain! I'll sit on your wedding bed and not get up, let's see if you'll still give in!" Su He said fearlessly.

In response, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're still sitting on our wedding bed? Believe me or not, if we get married, you won't even be able to go home. Your auntie will kick you then! You're so old and still not married, you don't even have a partner. You'll be more afraid of the New Year than a pig!"

Upon hearing this, Su He's face fell immediately, and she sighed heavily, saying helplessly, "Regarding my marriage, my mother no longer looks for the cause in me. A couple of days ago, she told me that she consulted a fortune teller again, who said that the streetlights downstairs in my apartment complex are blocking my marriage prospects."

They said the streetlight looked like a lonely stick, so my mom went to complain to the property management and asked them to move it.

"And then?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

Lin Mo was also a little curious, as he hadn't heard about this yet, and it seemed that even his mother probably didn't know.

"And then? Then my mom told me that the next day, the property management erected another streetlight not far from that streetlight, saying it would make a pair, and that's how they sent my mom away," Su He said helplessly, spreading her hands.

Hearing this, Lin Mo and his companion burst into laughter. They were surprised to find that the property management company was actually quite reasonable.

Unlike his property management, which basically doesn't handle things anymore because the community is too old.

"Cousin, instead of wasting your time, you should go to a temple to pray. Tell my aunt to stop this nonsense," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Su He rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't this all because of you? If you hadn't found a partner so early and brought her home, would your cousin be in this situation!"

"How about I find you a partner online tomorrow? Perfect timing, I have a classmate who works in social media, Chuanzi, you know Li Shiya, right? She's a popular influencer with millions of followers. They're currently working on a matchmaking section, I'll have him give it a try for you?" Lin Mo said.

In response, his cousin Su He kicked him and said, "Get lost! What kind of friends do you have? The people you meet are either Sigma or look like they're involved in a honey trap. I wouldn't dare. You should find someone else to mess with!"

"Then you should stay single, little brother. Don't worry about her. Anyway, it's not us who will get scolded for being single!" Liu Ruyan laughed.

The three of them seemed quite relaxed, chatting and laughing.

The next morning, Lin Mo got up early as usual to exercise, and then bought two breakfasts from outside.

"Oh my, I was wondering why you drive such a long way back every day even though your company is in the city. It must be so comfortable."

"You've been waited on hand and foot all day long, Liu Ruyan, haven't you noticed you've gotten fat?" Su He remarked as she ate breakfast.

That's right. Since she was already preparing to leave the company, Su He didn't plan to go to the company early. She would just go to the company at noon to complete the formalities, so naturally she didn't leave early.

Experiencing the carefree life here, Su He immediately understood why Liu Ruyan wanted to stay here even though she had to drive a long way back every day. It was indeed very comfortable!
"Huh? I've gained weight? Really? I've really gained weight?"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Liu Ruyan suddenly became a little nervous, put down the bowl, quickly got up, dragged an electronic scale out from under the sofa, and stepped on it.

In less than three seconds, a sharp explosion echoed throughout the living room.

"Ah~~~~"

"Oh no, I've really gained weight. No, no, I can't eat anymore. How could I gain weight? My appetite hasn't increased. It must be because I ate too much at your house during the New Year holidays. Yes, it must be," Liu Ruyan said anxiously.

Hearing this, Lin Mo leaned over and asked, "How much does it weigh? You're so scared?"

But before he could even see it clearly, Liu Ruyan kicked the electronic scale back.

"Then you don't need to know. Anyway, you're not allowed to cook anything delicious these next few days, and you won't bring any ingredients back to cook on Wednesdays."

"Starting today, we can only eat vegetarian food at home. I'm going to lose weight!" Liu Ruyan said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked his girlfriend up and down. She was still slim, with a goddess-like figure, and her complexion was rosy and radiant. Even if she had gained weight, she was still slim.

If there really is one, it's probably someone with more substantial capital; he definitely has the authority to speak on that.

"Don't try to lose weight randomly, or you'll actually lose all your weight!" Su He laughed.

Liu Ruyan: "Get out of here! You're the one who's gone!"

“Yes, I’ve lost weight recently, and my chest has shrunk a size. Otherwise, how would I know?” Su He said.

Liu Ruyan:
Indeed, sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.
