My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Thank you, Grandpa Lin."

As Leng Xing spoke, she glanced at Lin Mo and said, "In that case, I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

Xu Yanshu tried to persuade her to stay, "Xiaoxing, since you're here, please finish your meal before you leave. It's just a matter of getting an extra pair of chopsticks."

"No, no, no."

Leng Xing smiled apologetically, "Grandma Xu, I have something to attend to. I'll come see you another day."

"alright."

As Leng Xing passed by Lin Mo, she paused. "You are indeed much more handsome than before, but unfortunately you're not my type. Otherwise, this arranged marriage wouldn't have had to be canceled."

Lin Mo responded in a low voice, "You look much worse than the last time we met."

Leng Xing: "..."

Listen, is this human language?

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she would have definitely given Lin Mo a beating!

Lin Shu and An Youyu also heard the two whispering to each other, exchanged a silent glance, and smiled.

Lin Shu leaned close to An Youyu's ear and asked, "Yu'er, do you think Xiao Mo's way of chatting is just asking for a beating?"

An Youyu pursed her lips slightly, "He... has always been like this."

Aside from her, Lin Mo never takes the initiative to praise other girls.

Leng Xing glared at Lin Mo fiercely, then left without looking back.

Xu Yanshu glanced at the three people standing and said, "Don't stand, sit down."

Lin Shu sat down as appropriate.

Lin Mo and An Youyu did not sit down immediately.

Lin Mo led An Youyu to Lin Yi and Xu Yanshu, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, this is your future granddaughter-in-law, An Youyu."

"Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandma."

An Youyu blushed deeply. She had intended to call them grandpa and grandma, but somehow she ended up calling them maternal grandpa and maternal grandma, just like Lin Mo.

Lin Yi and Xu Yanshu smiled.

Lin Yi nodded with a smile, "Alright, please sit down."

Xu Yanshu rolled her eyes at her husband and beckoned to An Youyu, "Come here, let Grandma take a look."

An Youyu couldn't help but feel nervous and secretly glanced at Lin Mo.

Her little actions did not escape the eyes of the people present. Even Lin Xue couldn't help but smile and said gently, "Don't be nervous, your grandmother is a very nice person."

Lin Mo's eyes flashed with surprise. Although Lin Xue was somewhat hostile towards him and his son, she was very friendly towards An Youyu. She didn't seem so bad after all.

An Youyu took a deep breath, walked lightly to Xu Yanshu, and obediently greeted, "Hello, Grandma."

The soft, sweet voice captivated Xu Yanshu, who exclaimed, "Say it again!"

"Hello grandma."

"Ha ha……"

Xu Yanshu smiled broadly, "Good, you're so good. I like you, you're beautiful, intelligent, and well-behaved. Apart from your less-than-ideal background, you're perfect."

"However, background is not important to the Lin family at all. The Lin family is the biggest background!"

"I don't know what good deeds my grandson did in his past life to be able to meet a girl like you."

An Youyu's information had been in Xu Yanshu's hands for several days. When she first got the information, she read it several times and finally gave a four-word evaluation.

Excellent!

Hearing Xu Yanshu's praise, An Youyu didn't know how to respond. After some hesitation, she finally chose to remain silent.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.

If you don't say anything, you won't make a mistake.

Lin Mo noticed An Youyu's embarrassment and stepped in to help her out, "Grandma, this is our first meeting, don't you have a gift?"

"And Grandpa, and Aunt Lin too, shouldn't you two do something?"

Three people: "..."

You came empty-handed, and now you're actually asking for a gift?

Lin Xue, in particular, rolled her eyes when she heard Lin Mo ask her for a gift. "Just because you call me Aunt Lin, does that mean I have to give you a gift?"

"Tch, so stingy."

"..."

Lin Xue's expression was priceless, yet she couldn't refute it.

Xu Yanshu was both amused and exasperated. "Our Lin family has everything we need. I'll have your Aunt Lin open two cards for you and An Yatou. You can buy whatever you want."

"That's not necessary."

Lin Mo shook his head and refused, "It was just a joke. I already feel bad about getting a free meal."

He didn't want to spend the Lin family's money for the time being, and An Youyu certainly wouldn't accept the card given by Xu Yanshu.

"I still want it."

Xu Yanshu gently stroked An Youyu's hand, "Xiaoshu calls you Yu'er, so Grandma will call you Yu'er too, okay?"

"of course can."

An Youyu nodded quickly, "Call me Grandma whatever sounds best to me, Youyu is fine with it."

The voice, so soft it touched her heart, made Xu Yanshu's smile grow even wider. Gazing at An's face, she couldn't help but exclaim, "How come you're even prettier than in the photos? You're so beautiful!"

Lin Shu and her son Lin Mo exchanged a glance, both marveling at the girl's charm.

Lin Shu was the one who felt it the most. Since she returned to the Lin family three days ago, her mother's attitude towards her had been rather cold, clearly still holding a grudge about what happened many years ago.

But now...

Lin Shu noticed a significant change in the way her mother looked at her.

All of this is because of An Youyu.

Tsk, is this the destructive power of fish?

Chapter 628 Family Banquet (Part 3)

As one exquisite dish after another was served, the family feast officially began.

"Fish, don't be shy, make yourself at home here, don't be reserved."

These words did not come from Lin Shu or Xu Yanshu, but from Lin Xue. Lin Mo was even more surprised when she said them.

Lin Mo's change in expression did not escape Lin Xue's notice. She looked at Lin Mo with a half-smile and said, "What kind of expression is that? Do you expect me to treat you and your mother with a cold and stern face?"

Lin Shu chimed in, "Isn't that how you are?"

"Yes!"

Lin Xue readily admitted, then changed the subject, "But that doesn't mean I'll treat Yu'er the same way I treat you and your son. I like her very much; she's outstanding. If she marries Lin Mo, it will only improve the Lin family's genes."

"I'm overjoyed when something benefits our Lin family."

Lin Shu secretly rolled her eyes. In the few days she had been in contact with Lin Xue, she had roughly figured out Lin Xue.

In short, he possesses both cunning and shrewdness.

However, for some reason, Lin Xue made no attempt to hide her hostility when facing her, and it was especially obvious.

"cough--"

Lin Yi put down his chopsticks. "Xiao Shu, actually Xiao Xue isn't as bad as you think. In the years you've been away, she has indeed taken on a lot for you. Many things that are inconvenient to leave to outsiders, she has done..."

“Dad, I understand what you’re saying very well.”

Lin Shu interrupted softly, "So these past few days, she's been provoking me at every turn, and I haven't said a word."

Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was really afraid that his daughter would have a huge fight with Lin Xue as soon as she came back. One of them was his daughter, and the other was also his daughter. He couldn't take sides.

Although Lin Xue is not their biological daughter, Lin Yi and Xu Yanshu have long regarded her as their own daughter after raising her for so many years.

"You're in the wrong, so of course you have nothing to say!"

Lin Xue looked angry. "Do you know how heartbroken your parents were when you abandoned them and eloped with that other man?"

"Let me tell you bluntly, even if you bring Lin Mo back now, I will not give up the position of the future head of the Lin family."

"If you have the ability to take this position from me, I won't say anything. But if you think that just because you're my 'own son,' you're entitled to the position of family head, you're dreaming!"

Xu Yanshu frowned, about to speak up to stop the two from arguing, but before she could open her mouth, Lin Yi nudged her leg under the table.

Xu Yanshu looked at her husband in confusion, wondering what he was up to.

Lin Yi said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "It's good that we're here, let them explain things clearly. It's better than them talking about it in private, right?"

"That's true."

Xu Yanshu understood her husband's meaning. In front of her and her husband, no matter what, the two daughters would not break off relations; at most, they would only have some unpleasantness.

If she and her husband weren't there, no one would know how their two daughters would end up talking.

An Youyu sucked on her chopsticks, staring at the food in her bowl, swallowing hard.

But she can't eat right now...

Lin Mo propped his chin on one hand, watching the spectacle with great interest.

The current situation is much, much better than expected.

Lin Shu glanced at Lin Xue and casually added a piece of meat to An Youyu's plate. "Lin Xue, I didn't come back with any intention of competing with you for the position of head of the Lin family."

“Your competitor is not me, but my son, Lin Mo.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue instantly flew into a rage, standing up abruptly. "Lin Shu, why don't you compete with me? You're letting your son compete with me? Are you looking down on me?"
