My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

After reading a few books, Gu Fan felt confident that he was ready.

then……

Unsurprisingly, we lost money!

Most importantly, a large portion of that money was money that Gu Fan had secretly misappropriated from his father.

"Deserve it!"

"Brother Mo, you have to help me."

Gu Fan tried hard to squeeze out tears, but no matter how hard he tried, no tears came out. He said pitifully, "My dad is coming home tonight. If he finds out that the cash in the house is missing, he will definitely beat me to death."

"How much money did you steal from your dad?"

"Could we... possibly avoid using the word 'steal'?"

"What? You dare to do it but not admit it?"

Gu Fan gave an awkward smile, "Well... there wasn't much."

"Say!"

"Twenty thousand."

Lin Mo rolled her eyes. "Are you crazy?"

Gu Fan hung his head, "I was out of my mind back then, and now I regret it so much I could die."

"Tell me, how do you want me to help?"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Gu Fan instantly perked up, "Brother Mo, you made a lot of money buying stocks last time, didn't you?"

"It's alright, barely passable."

"Could you lend me 20,000 yuan temporarily, brother?"

Fearing that Lin Mo would refuse, Gu Fan hurriedly assured her, "Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible. You know what kind of person I am; I would never default on a debt."

"Borrow money?"

Lin Mo's eyes gleamed with amusement. "Sure, but could you let me meet your father?"

Gu Fan was initially delighted, then his face was full of question marks. "Brother Mo, what do you want to see my dad for?"

"Do nothing."

Lin Mo said half-jokingly, "You've met my mother, but I've never met your father. Is that fair?"

"Hey, I thought it was something serious. It's nothing."

Gu Fan readily agreed and pulled Lin Mo towards the school gate.

From an angle unseen by him, a faint, malicious glint appeared at the corner of Lin Mo's mouth, and a plan was gradually taking shape...

Chapter 104 Complaint

Outside the ATM.

Gu Fan looked left and right, wishing he could have the words "guilty conscience" etched on his face.

After Lin Mo finished withdrawing the money, he saw Gu Fan acting like a thief and walked over to him, kicking him from behind in an annoyed tone. "What are you doing? Don't be so sneaky. People who don't know better will think we're robbing a bank."

"cough!"

Gu Fan chuckled, "Brother Mo, you can't blame me. You didn't take it to heart, so of course you're not guilty."

Lin Mo handed the 20,000 yuan he had just withdrawn to Gu Fan, saying, "Brother, am I loyal enough?"

"enough!"

Gu Fan was overjoyed and hurriedly stuffed the money into his schoolbag, praising him repeatedly, "Brother Mo, I will never forget your kindness in this lifetime. You are my second parents."

"Call Dad."

"..."

Faced with Lin Mo's unconventional way of chatting, Gu Fan was clearly a little lost, staring blankly with his mouth agape, unsure of what to say.

Lin Mo chuckled, "Alright, if I really had a good-for-nothing son like you, I'd probably be driven crazy."

"..."

Gu Fan's face twitched violently, and his gaze became extremely resentful. "Brother Mo, I'm just saying, can't we brothers not be so sarcastic with each other?"

"No."

A meaningful smile played in Lin Mo's eyes as he patted Gu Fan on the shoulder. "I've helped you out; isn't it time for you to keep your promise?"

"What promise?"

“Take me to see your father.”

"You really want to see him?"

Gu Fan looked surprised; he had initially thought Lin Mo was just saying it casually.

Lin Mo bowed. "Of course, my mother is not home today, so I'll have a meal at your place and then borrow a place to sleep. Of course, if you find it inconvenient, then forget it."

This tactic of retreating to advance is very effective.

Gu Fan patted his chest. "What's inconvenient about that? No problem. Come on, when my dad comes back, I'll definitely make him take us out for a big meal."

He and Lin Mo had always had a good relationship, and he often went to Lin Mo's house for meals.

He had previously invited Lin Mo to his home for dinner, but Lin Mo had declined each time.

When he heard Lin Mo offer to come to his house for dinner, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Lin Mo has helped him so much this time, he has to show his gratitude no matter what, otherwise he would seem like he's being inconsiderate.

……

"Click——"

A little after six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Mo followed Gu Fan to his home.

A detached villa, a spacious front yard, an extravagantly large house, and luxurious interior decoration...

Lin Mo lay back on the sofa and sighed, "I knew your family was rich, but I didn't know they were this rich. Speaking of which, since your family is so wealthy, and you're supposed to be a rich second generation, why are you so stingy?"

Gu Fan sat opposite him and vehemently denied it: "Brother Mo, please don't frame me, okay? How have I been petty?"

"Hey, still not admitting it?"

Lin Mo half-opened his eyes, "Before, if I asked you to buy me an iced cola, you would have to ask me for money; is that what you call not being stingy?"

"That's different."

"What's the difference?"

Gu Fan said matter-of-factly, "When have I ever run errands to buy iced cola?"

Lin Mo squinted. "What's wrong with running errands?"

Gu Fan crossed his arms. "You can't contribute money, and you can't contribute labor. You want me to contribute both money and labor? Are you treating me like an idiot?"

"No, no."

Lin Mo sat up. "Do you remember what I said when you got beaten up in the classroom last time?"

"What?"

"Suffering a loss is a blessing."

"cut--"

Gu Fan smirked, "Brother Mo, since you say that suffering a loss is a blessing, then why are you unwilling to suffer a loss?"

"We're brothers, so naturally the good fortune should be left to you."

Gu Fan opened his mouth, but after a long while, he managed to choke out a sentence, "Brother Mo, I've realized it, you really have no shame!"

What is a face?

Lin Mo looked bewildered. "Can I eat it?"

"..."

The two chatted in the living room for a while, and then Lin Mo followed Gu Fan into the bedroom and unceremoniously took over Gu Fan's computer desk.

Gu Fan didn't care at all. He leaned to the left of the computer desk, patted the computer tower on the table, and said, "How about it? Isn't my gear cool? It completely blows your crappy computer out of the water!"

Lin Mo took the workbook out of his bag and replied without looking up, "Cool."

The extremely perfunctory answer left Gu Fan quite dissatisfied. Just as he was about to say something, he saw several sets of past exam papers and twenty or thirty secret papers for various subjects in front of Lin Mo.

"Brother Mo, what are you doing with so many test papers?"

"Do."

"But... isn't this too much?"

"Is it a lot? Not really."

Gu Fan stared wide-eyed. "This is just so-so?"

"Not many indeed."

Lin Mo remained calm. "Usually after dinner, I would spend an hour working through practice books, then do three sets of past exam papers and a dozen practice papers. I usually go to bed around two or three in the morning."

After saying that, he picked up his pen and started doing practice problems.

Gu Fan's expression was priceless. Seeing Lin Mo so focused on his problem, he couldn't bear to disturb him and quietly left the room.

He came to the living room and lay down on the sofa with a complicated expression.

He thought he had tried his best, but compared to Lin Mo, his efforts seemed to amount to nothing...

…………

"Hello, Uncle. My name is Lin Mo, and I am Gu Fan's classmate."

As Lin Mo greeted him, he was also sizing up the middle-aged man in front of him.

With a square face and an air of authority, his formal attire exuded confidence, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes from time to time; he was clearly no ordinary person.
