"worry about what?"
"What else could I be worried about? Of course, I'm worried about you!"
"worry about me?"
Lin Mo shook his head and chuckled, "Mom, why are you worried about me for no reason?"
Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her son. "Don't play dumb with me. You know perfectly well what I'm saying, so what are you acting for? Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry someday?"
"Entering the entertainment industry? No interest."
Lin Mo's lips curled up as he glanced towards the kitchen and whispered, "Mom, you have to give me a piece of your mind later. Give me as much as you can, and don't hold back."
Lin Shu was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Just do it this way, it'll be good for our son anyway."
Lin Mo didn't explain much, but raised his voice and called out, "Little Fish, come here for a moment."
An Youyu came into the living room with some greens. "What's wrong? Have you and Auntie reached a decision?"
"Just listen to my mom when it comes to controlling the score."
"Ah."
The girl's well-behaved appearance made both mother and son smile.
Lin Mo got up and walked to An Youyu's side. "Mom, you probably don't know Xiaoyu's results from the second mock exam, do you?"
"Huh? The mock exam results are out?"
"Correct."
Under his mother's watchful gaze, Lin Mo boldly ruffled An Youyu's hair and asked, "Mom, do you want to guess Xiaoyu's grades?"
An Youyu blushed and quickly dodged away, first glancing at Lin Shu, then giving Lin Mo a warning look.
Seeing her son's actions, Lin Shu remembered what he had just said and glared at him angrily, "Xiao Mo, if you dare to lay a hand on the fish again, believe me, I'll cripple you?"
The fact that he immediately wanted to practice the trumpet really startled Lin Mo, who coughed nervously.
"Mom, Xiaoyuer and I are classmates and deskmates, and she's also my tutor. We're good friends too. It's not too much for friends to pat each other on the head, is it?"
Lin Shu laughed, "As your biological mother, it wouldn't be too much for me to cripple you, would it?"
"Be more careful next time."
"Better so."
Seeing her son back down, Lin Shu's eyes gleamed with amusement as she instructed An Youyu, "Yu'er, if Xiao Mo ever bullies you in the future, just tell Auntie, and Auntie will definitely teach that brat a lesson for you!"
"Auntie, no, no need."
An Youyu glanced at Lin Mo, who looked utterly hopeless, and gently shook her head: "Lin Mo treats me very well and won't bully me, so you don't need to worry."
Hearing the girl's answer, the smile in Lin Shu's eyes became even more pronounced. "That's good. Yu'er, how did you do on your second mock exam?"
"is acceptable."
"How many points?"
"750 points."
"..."
Lin Mo noticed his mother's fascinating expression, and while he chuckled to himself, he also felt somewhat helpless.
An Youyu appeared to be in Versailles, but he knew very well that this was not actually the case.
In his and his mother's minds, 750 points was a very high score!
In An Youyu's mind, given the difficulty of the second mock test, it was normal for her to score 750 points. This score was just a normal performance for her, and the words "not bad" were her true thoughts.
To be honest, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it...
A strange look appeared in Lin Shu's eyes as she softly asked the girl, "How were Xiao Mo's grades this time?"
Hearing this question, An Youyu's eyebrows curved slightly. "Lin Mo scored 728 points this time. The second mock exam was much more difficult than the first one. Under these circumstances, his score still improved by 34 points, which is very impressive!"
Lin Mo didn't say anything, just watched her mother's performance with a smile.
"Extremely impressive?"
Lin Shu stood up and came to An Youyu, cupped her cheeks in her hands, and teased her in a low voice, "Yuer, you getting a perfect score is considered okay, but he getting 728 points is considered very impressive?"
"Auntie, you can't judge this by grades."
An Youyu quickly explained, "I have a good foundation, so it's normal for me to get this score. But Lin Mo is different from me. He had a very poor foundation before, so it's amazing that he has made such great progress in such a short time."
Lin Shu stroked the girl's long hair, "In the adult world, nothing matters except the outcome."
After saying that, she turned to look at her son, "Yu'er is so outstanding, but you are so useless. Aren't you ashamed?"
"This one……"
"Don't give me that crap. If your score on the third mock exam is below 730, I'll break your legs!"
"..."
Lin Mo outwardly appeared aggrieved, but inwardly he was secretly laughing.
He won the bet!
Chapter 118 A Series of Schemes
"Aunt……"
An Youyu bit her lip and couldn't help but call out. When Lin Shu's gaze fell on her, she didn't know how to persuade him.
Logically speaking, Lin Mo should have been praised for scoring such a high score in the second mock exam, so why did things turn out this way?
I can’t figure it out…
"Cough-cough-"
Lin Mo chimed in at the right moment, "Son, remember your mother's teachings. Your score in the third mock exam will definitely not be lower than 730."
"That's right."
Lin Shu nodded in satisfaction, took the vegetables from An Youyu's hand, and said, "Rest in the living room, Auntie is going to cook."
"Let me help you..."
"Little Mo."
Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly said, "Little Fish, I happen to have two math problems that I don't quite understand. Come on, let's go to the room and you can explain them to me."
An Youyu glanced at Lin Mo and nodded gently.
After arriving at Lin Mo's room, she asked, "You got a perfect score on your math test this time, so there shouldn't be any big questions you can't answer. Are you deliberately trying to get rid of me so I can't help Auntie?"
"Correct."
Lin Mo didn't deny it; when faced with the girl's question, he simply nodded in acknowledgment.
He patted the stool, gesturing for the girl to sit down, "You've been with my mom for so long, don't you understand her personality?"
"She doesn't want you to do any work. If you do any work, she gets upset. And if she gets upset, I'll be the one who suffers. Can you please think about me for my sake?"
An Youyu scratched her hair in distress, sat down next to Lin Mo, and listlessly slumped onto the table, muttering to herself, "But Youyu has been receiving all this care and attention from you all without giving anything back. It really makes me feel guilty..."
"Silly girl."
Lin Mo gently stroked the girl's long hair and comforted her softly, "Don't think so much. What's with all this talk about guilt? We're all family, why are you talking like that?"
"family?"
An Youyu's cheeks burned. "You, you... don't talk nonsense. Who said we're family?"
Why such a big reaction?
Lin Mo looked surprised. "Didn't my mom recognize you as her goddaughter in the principal's office before? There's nothing wrong with saying we're family."
Although he said that, he didn't really think so.
The idea of having a goddaughter is absolutely impossible!
The reason I'm saying this now is simply to comfort the girl.
An Youyu weakly explained, "But I...didn't agree."
"unimportant."
Lin Mo deliberately skipped the topic and chuckled as he reminded her, "Let's talk about our bet. If you win one, I win one. That means if I take you out for a day, you have to treat me to a big meal. Am I right?"
"No."
An Youyu braced herself on the edge of the table and suggested in a low voice, "How about we call it a tie?"
Lin Mo propped his right cheek up, his eyes narrowing. "A draw? What do you mean?"
"It means you don't need to take me out, and I don't need to treat you to a fancy meal, how about that?"
"No way."
Upon learning of An Youyu's ulterior motives, Lin Mo shook his head and refused without hesitation.
What a joke!
Only a fool would give up such a hard-won opportunity to spend time together!
An Youyu blinked in confusion, "Why? My suggestion was clearly fair, why did you refuse?"
Lin Mo tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Your suggestion is indeed fair, but who says I have to accept it just because it's fair? I just want to go out and have fun, I just want to eat a big meal, is there a problem with that?"
"you……"
Upon hearing this, An Youyu pouted, her soft tone tinged with a hint of complaint, "Why do you have to go out and play? It's a waste of money and time."
"waste?"
Lin Mo corrected, "Little Fish, that's not how it works. How is it a waste? Doing what you think is worthwhile is not a waste at all."
"But……"
"No matter what you say, I won't change my mind; the date is this Saturday."
