My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Mo Xiao picked up the key in his hand, shook it, and smiled, "Or are you not planning to let me in?"

"Please leave."

Wang Yuting said bluntly.

"My dear daughter, is this how you treat your mother?" The mother was a little angry, and a look of displeasure appeared on her well-maintained face. "I rushed over as soon as I heard about you!"

"You've come a long way, so please go back now."

"Your dad and I bought this house."

"Mom, please come in."

After being told that, Wang Yuting really had no way to refute it.

No matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to give in at this point.

After entering the house, Mo Xiao took off her mid-to-high heels and neatly placed them in the entryway. She glanced at the shoe cabinet, and because of her height, she subconsciously reached out to grab the slippers on the top shelf.

"Wait a moment!!"

Wang Yuting suddenly rushed up.

She snatched the slippers from Mo Xiao before he could get them, and kicked the slippers she was wearing at him.

You wear this! I'll wear this myself!

"I must have had the worst luck to be your mother; I can't even wear old slippers."

“They’re different.” Wang Yuting put on the slippers, which were clearly a size too big for her feet, and said softly, like a little girl defending her own possessions, “These slippers are different.”

This was the first gift Lin Jiu had ever given her.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Wouldn't that be even better? (4K)

"Huh? What happened to your foot?"

As expected of a mother, she could tell at a glance that her daughter's walking posture was wrong.

Mo Xiao's gaze lingered on Wang Yuting's ankle, which still looked a little red and swollen.

Wang Yuting thought for a moment, too lazy to explain further, and replied, "I twisted my ankle by accident."

"How could you be so careless... How is my grandson?" Mo Xiao suddenly turned around and asked.

Wang Yuting instinctively retorted, "How could I hold a child so quickly!"

"Hey, really..." Mo Xiao said meaningfully, "So you have someone you like?"

Older gingers are more spicy.

Mo Xiao easily got information out of him without any effort.

After all, she's their own daughter. Even if they haven't seen each other for a year, she shouldn't have changed that much.

Mo Xiao walked into the living room from the entrance hall. She blinked, wondering if she was seeing things, her heart filled with doubt.

This change is just too drastic!

"It's so clean, is it really true..."

She and her husband bought the house together. Because it was far away, it was inconvenient for them to come and see the house. At that time, they could only ask a friend in the relevant industry to come and inspect the house and take some photos.

Mingyuexuan Group is a well-known real estate company that adopts a centralized and standardized operating model. Its business includes property development, construction, decoration, property management, property investment, hotel development and management. Mingyuexuan has residential properties and hotels in many provincial capitals across the country, and they can be found almost anywhere using map software.

The couple hesitated for a while, but ultimately decided to buy a house for their child, since it was something that was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.

Although the house isn't as clean as it was when it was first renovated, it's still much better than I imagined.

Mo Xiao remembered that she and her husband asked Wang Yuting to video call during the New Year. At that time, Wang Yuting only dared to video call from her room and didn't dare to show her parents what the living room looked like. Based on her parents' understanding of their daughter, Wang Yuting wasn't indifferent to housework at home, but the results were quite disastrous, especially when it came to cooking.

Why is it that when a girl cracks an egg, she can perfectly break the shell and mix it into the yolk?

"I don't understand, I really don't understand," the two elders said, expressing their inability to comprehend.

Rather than saying it was unintentional, it's more accurate to say that being able to achieve this level is a kind of talent.

When Wang Yuting first decided to move out on her own, her parents strongly opposed it, and no one agreed.

Just because you watched an anime, you suddenly had the idea to go out and work, and to such a far place at that? How could your parents feel at ease about something like this! What if you want to go back home after only two or three months in another city? Besides wasting time, it will also incur unnecessary expenses. Rent, furniture, broadband internet, etc.—all these things cost money.

Besides, with Wang Yuting's parents' connections, finding a job in her hometown would be incredibly easy for her. Mo Xiao casually listed four or five high-paying, easy jobs for her to choose from.

But Wang Yuting refused.

The reason she wanted to leave her hometown was to find a chance to breathe under the pressure from her parents.

"Is she even your biological daughter? She can't do anything right, she's nothing like you."

Wang Yuting once heard someone ask her parents this question when she was still a student.

Perhaps that person meant no harm and was just joking. After all, some people are just naturally sarcastic and mean-spirited. But for Wang Yuting, who was still young at the time, it was undoubtedly the greatest hurt.

Her parents severed all ties with that man, but even that could not erase the harm she had suffered.

Wang Yuting herself admitted that she had fled to this city.

"..."

Mo Xiao recalled how her daughter had broken down back then, and then looked at her now, full of energy.

If I hadn't agreed to let her venture out on her own back then, would she have been like a flower deprived of sunlight, rotting in a dimly lit room, slowly exiling herself away...?

Mo Xiao recalled how her daughter had grabbed her hair and cried loudly during the last family meeting.

It was then that she realized that she and her husband had unknowingly driven their daughter to the brink of despair.

Overly excellent parents, overly mediocre children, and an overly strong sense of self-esteem.

Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, temper the will, and cleanse the mind and body.

But no matter how strong the heart is, it's still made of flesh.

"So you can take care of yourself too."

Mo Xiao carefully examined the environment inside the house, and his mood relaxed a little, no longer so heavy.

The whole house was well-ventilated, the tables and chairs were spotless, and there were no snack crumbs on the sofa. Even though Wang Yuting often lay on the sofa eating snacks and watching cartoons when she was home, leaving crumbs everywhere. Mo Xiao glanced at the corner of the house; the trash can looked quite clean, not the kind that's overflowing and looks like a horrible garbage dump.

Hmm, something's not right.

No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.

How could a mother not know what kind of person her daughter is?

No one knows a daughter better than her mother.

Mo Xiao didn't expose her. She went into the kitchen and glanced around briefly.

You can tell whether a kitchen has been used or not from a few details.

How much salt, pepper, cooking wine, soy sauce, and other seasonings are left?

Are there any stains or signs of wiping on the stove?

Does the floor feel greasy?

The placement of kitchen utensils.

Another point is...

Mo Xiao's gaze lingered on the eggshells in the trash can. She remembered her daughter's past heroic act and subconsciously let out a mournful cry.

The fried eggs, which are especially good for calcium, were ultimately shared between her and her husband.

Mo Xiao opened the refrigerator and took a look.

The truth will come out.

A person who can't cook at all.

How could someone possibly buy so much food and put it in the refrigerator?

Mo Xiao smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at his daughter with a gentle smile, without saying a word.

Wang Yuting scratched her head guiltily, a blush rising on her cheeks as she felt somewhat ashamed.

It's been exposed.

Wang Yuting was still aware of the situation.

Her only proud dish is instant noodles made with hot water; her only passable culinary skill is instant porridge.

Is your boyfriend home?

Mo Xiao asked directly, no longer beating around the bush.

"what……"

Wang Yuting's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the washroom.

When she came to her senses, she hurriedly looked up at the ceiling, but it was too late.

Wang Yuting's little tricks naturally didn't escape her mother's sharp eyes, and Mo Xiao decisively walked towards the washroom.

"Don't--"

Wang Yuting tried to stop it, but it was too late.

Just as Mo Xiao placed his hand on the doorknob, ready to turn it open, the door opened by itself.

"Well!"

As soon as Lin Jiu opened the door, she saw a mature woman much taller than herself standing outside, which startled her and made her take a step back.

Mo Xiao, dressed in a suit skirt, exuded the aura of a powerful woman, maintaining a slightly forward-leaning posture. The skirt hem accentuated her full, ripe hips, making it difficult to know where to look.

"--Who are you?"

Mo Xiao's expression changed.

How can there be such an adorable creature!

Have those anime girls crossed over into reality?!

In order to find common topics to talk about with his daughter, Mo Xiao even went to research Wang Yuting's interests.
