Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 1159 Two People Feeling Guilty

In the villa area, at Liu Family Villa, Ms. Cheng felt genuinely happy to see her two children return to celebrate Mother's Day with her.

Is this holiday big? Not at all. It's not even a traditional Chinese holiday. She treats this time of year as just another ordinary holiday. At most, her daughter will call from her older brother in another city or send her a gift.

I wasn't unhappy, nor was I particularly happy, but this year was different. Not only did my daughter come back, but she also brought her boyfriend back to celebrate the holiday with her. It felt really good.

Moreover, despite it being Mother's Day, the two of them came back without even a gift; they just came back to freeload a meal.

Lin Mo initially suggested going to a nearby jewelry store to buy a piece of jewelry, or even a lucky charm if necessary.

But Liu Ruyan said no, and refused, saying that her mother had too much jewelry and she couldn't wear it all, and that she was the one wearing some of the jewelry.

In Liu Ruyan's words, their return is the best gift; what more could one ask for?

"Xiao Lin, eat slowly. You didn't go home for the May Day holiday. Your mother was nagging me about it yesterday!" Ms. Cheng said while putting food on Lin Mo's plate.

That's right. Now, Ms. Cheng and her mother, Ms. Zhou, have each other's contact information. They exchange messages when they're bored and occasionally have a video call.

Needless to say, Ms. Cheng's figure and appearance are exceptional. Liu Ruyan is practically a carbon copy of her. As the previous generation's Emperor Ruyan, who could give birth to Liu Ruyan, how could she possibly be unattractive?

With the good things Lin Mo gave her, she looks even younger now. If she went out, people would believe she was Liu Ruyan's older sister.

Now, Ms. Cheng's favorite thing is to meet up with her old friends. Watching people her age grow old while she herself seems to be aging in reverse is wonderful.

Lin Mo's mother, Zhou Min, is naturally no less attractive. Although Zhou Min is slightly inferior in appearance and temperament, it must be said that the entire Lin Mo maternal family is good-looking.

Zhou Min was a well-known beauty in the surrounding area when she was young, and Lin Mo invested the most in his parents, even more than Ms. Cheng.

After consuming all sorts of supplements and medicines, Zhou Min and Lao Lin's gray hair has turned black again, making them look much younger. Although they haven't met in person, they are already quite familiar with each other.

Even without Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan's knowledge, their mothers had secretly exchanged their birth dates and times.

Of course, the two people's birth charts are still very compatible, because even if they weren't incompatible, there are ways to make them compatible, it just requires adding a little money.

Besides, when you ask someone to match your birth charts, no fool would say that the two birth charts are incompatible and beyond redemption, and that if they were to be together, they would be struck by lightning and their whole family would suffer a terrible death.

If such people truly existed, they would have all died out long ago. Those who have survived for thousands of years must have a reason for their existence.

Not only were their birth dates compatible, but even their lucky days could be calculated.

Although Lin Mo has not yet graduated, Ms. Cheng and Ms. Zhou have already privately discussed the question of how many children they should have.

That's right. As for engagement and marriage, the two of them have already discussed it, and now they're talking about the next generation.

"Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. The hotel is open for business recently, and I have to revise my thesis this month. I also have to defend it at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. There's just too much to do."

"I was thinking that after I graduate next month, I'll go home with Sister Ruyan to visit her," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Ultimately, what he wanted to express was that he didn't not want to go back, but was just too busy; in reality, he simply didn't want to go back.

It's worth noting that Nancheng is only an hour and a half away from Jiangning by expressway, so it's easy to go back. Even if something happens here, you can get back on the same day.

"That's true, time really flies. You'll be graduating soon. That's fine. You can take Xiao'e back with you after you graduate. I heard from your mother that your house in your hometown is almost finished," Ms. Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded: "The main structure is already completed, and it's currently being decorated and the courtyard is being designed. It should be finished by the time I graduate."

After the weather started to warm up after the Lunar New Year, construction began on the house in my hometown. Liu Ruyan had found people, and with the money in place, the work was naturally done quickly.

Just look at the final masterpiece of civil engineering back then, and you'll know that with money in place, approvals from all departments went smoothly, so of course it was fast.

They can build a hospital in ten days, let alone this small courtyard. As long as the money is right, there's nothing they can't do.

The main structure of the house and courtyard has long been completed, and the interior decoration of the house has begun.

Especially now that the temperature is getting higher and the days are getting longer, the progress will only get faster and faster, so it will definitely be completed before he graduates.

After lunch, the two stayed for a while and then left. Now, they don't come back as formally as they did the previous two times. They just come, eat, and leave. Lin Mo has begun to slowly integrate into this family.

The two drove Ms. Cheng's two convertible sports cars leisurely back home, arriving back at the residential area around 2 PM.

"Um, I'm going to the studio to check things out, and while I'm at it, I'll let Wei-ge know that he's bringing that girl to start work tomorrow."

As soon as the two got out of the car in the residential area, Lin Mo spoke up. Hearing this, Liu Ruyan waved her hand dismissively, "Go ahead, I'll go upstairs first!"

Liu Ruyan felt quite at ease about Lin Mo and Yuan Meng hanging out together; these people would only engage in abstract activities and would never do anything out of line.

If we're talking about going out for fun, then we're talking about genuine fun. As for finding other women, she's more comfortable with that. With Yuan Meng around and pretty girls around, she'll go for it first. She's the real rogue in this group. As for Lin Mo, Chuan Mei, and Director Wang, those three men don't even come close.

"Okay, I'm going."

"Wait, never mind, I'll go with you. There's no point in going back anyway, and it'll save Yuanyuan from doing anything abstract again."

Liu Ruyan thought about it and still felt uneasy. Yesterday, these people went to rob the internet cafe's manager. What could they possibly be up to today?

Lin Mo didn't care, and then led Liu Ruyan toward the back door of the studio.

"Seriously, is Zhang Wei any good? They've already agreed to talk to him, so what's wrong with him? All he does is sit there all day. He could at least buy them some food!"

As soon as they entered through the back door, the two heard Miss Yuan complaining.

Upon entering, one sees Miss Yuan holding a sausage about the thickness of a forearm and nearly half a meter long, talking and munching on it. On the coffee table in front of her is a bowl of instant noodles with a braised egg inside—a truly deluxe version of instant noodles.

"What's wrong? And your look is quite unique. How can you eat such a big sausage by yourself?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise when she saw Miss Yuan's appearance after entering.

Putting everything else aside, this sausage is truly visually striking!

"None of your business. Besides, this is food for everyone, of course, half of it is mine," Miss Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo noticed that everyone else also had a bowl of instant noodles on their tables. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you guys eating instant noodles? It can't be that Chuanzi, your account got banned after your scandal broke, right?"

"How could that be? I'm a law-abiding citizen. Sister Yuan said she wanted to eat instant noodles, so we made her a meal to improve her diet," the Sichuan girl said, rolling her eyes at him.

Lin Mo:

Liu Ruyan:

Several groups of people who usually eat a lot of meat and seafood are eating instant noodles today. At most, it can be considered a change of pace or an improvement in their diet. Where does this idea come from?

"Alright, Mozi, let me ask you, did you whisper sweet nothings in my ear yesterday?" Miss Yuan questioned.

Lin Mo nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Ruyan has already agreed. I was just thinking of calling Brother Wei to tell him how he is doing and what progress has been made."

"What other progress could there be? He's just accompanying someone to work, all he does is stand there. I told him to take the girl out and ask for leave, and he doesn't have to go to this stupid class anymore. He said he can't do anything about it. You can talk to him directly in a bit."

As for the salary, don't worry, Sister Yuan, I'll find someone to help Xiao Zhang get his salary back. It's no big deal!" Miss Yuan said with exasperation.

"Okay, I'll call and let Wei Ge know right away."

After saying that, Lin Mo directly dialed Zhang Wei's number and informed him of the result, asking him to bring the girl to the company to complete the onboarding process the next day.

Zhang Wei readily believed her, after all, he had met Liu Ruyan and was currently working at her company. However, Zhang Xiaoli was somewhat skeptical and felt a little insecure.

After Lin Mo's repeated persuasion, Zhang Xiaoli finally chose to believe him and prepared to discuss resignation with her boss later.

In short, the world where only internet cafe owners are heartbroken has finally been achieved.

When Lin Mo returned from outside after making the call, he saw Miss Yuan smugly telling Liu Ruyan about the plan to leave a pack of cigarettes for the boss before everyone left yesterday, and she was laughing as she spoke.

By this time, everyone had finished distributing the sausages in Miss Yuan's hand, and even Wangcai had a share, which he was enjoying immensely.

Upon seeing him enter, Miss Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Have you notified them?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, Zhang Xiaoli agreed and said she'll go with Wei Ge tomorrow morning. I think they're quite compatible, there's potential!"

"As long as there's a chance, that's fine. Our professional team is the most reliable. When looking for a partner, you either have to find one yourself or come to a professional agency. You can't be like that guy in our neighborhood who tried to force himself on a woman in the elevator. He got taken away by the police this afternoon!" Miss Yuan said casually, taking a sip of her instant noodles.

Upon hearing this, both Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan were taken aback.

"Huh? Is that so?" Liu Ruyan exclaimed in shock.

Miss Yuan: "Who says otherwise? My cousin brought people over herself at noon. And believe it or not, right in your building. Luckily they were caught. If they had forced a kiss on you, Mozi would definitely have dumped you. You should be secretly happy!"

Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance upon hearing this, and to be honest, they both felt a little guilty!
