Must become stronger!

Not only did his grades improve, but his physical condition did too. He didn't want to be so passive when facing Jiang Xiao again.

After bandaging his wound, Lin Mo went home and was immediately surrounded by Lin Shu and An Youyu.

"Xiao Mo, what's going on with you?"

"How come you have so many injuries? It must hurt a lot!"

Faced with their questions, Lin Mo had already prepared his explanation on the way back. He smiled nonchalantly and explained, "I accidentally stepped on a banana peel while I was running downstairs and tripped and fell. It's just some minor scrapes, don't worry."

Lin Shu's eyes flickered, and she raised her hand to pat her son's shoulder. "Sit down and get some rest. In the future... be more careful."

The last four words were emphasized.

Before Lin Mo could respond, Lin Shu turned and left the room, quickly returning to her bedroom, where she took out her phone and dialed a number that wasn't in her contacts.

The call was connected immediately.

"Xiao Shu, you finally called Dad. Dad apologizes. Please come home."

"You're not wrong, I'm the one who's wrong."

“Xiao Shu…”

Lin Shu's eyes welled up with tears, but she tried hard to control her emotions. "I've come to you today because I need your help with something."

"Just tell me what you want Dad to do."

"The second young master of the Jiang family has come to Jingchuan and had a little unpleasantness with Xiao Mo. As you know, Xiao Mo has not received much training since childhood and cannot be compared with the scions of aristocratic families, so he suffered a loss. Please give the Jiang family a warning. I don't want to see Xiao Mo get hurt again."

He spoke and then hung up the phone.

Lin Shu could no longer hold back her emotions. Tears that had been welling up for so long burst forth and streamed down her face. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. If I had listened to you back then, things wouldn't have come to this..."

Everything was her misfortune!

-

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao hadn't even returned to his residence when he received a call from his father in the car. He gestured for Yan Tianzong to be quiet and then answered the call on speakerphone.

"Listen carefully, I'll only say this once: if you mess with anyone surnamed Lin again, I'll break both your legs with my own hands!"

The chilling sound instantly lowered the atmosphere inside the carriage to freezing point...

Chapter 151 Demanding Tenderness

"Father……"

"Beep...beep beep..."

As the phone clicked off, Jiang Xiao's voice abruptly stopped. His face darkened, and he angrily slammed the phone onto the car floor. "That old bastard, one day I'll make him..."

"Second Young Master, be careful with your words."

Before Jiang Xiao could finish his harsh words, Yan Tianzong interrupted him, glancing at the driver who was driving, and said meaningfully, "Some things are better left unsaid; you can just think about them in your heart."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao was taken aback at first, then laughed, "Master, don't worry, this place..."

"There are no secrets in the world, and even I have weaknesses."

Yan Tianzong disliked Jiang Xiao's confidence and whispered a reminder: "Even if you successfully take over the Jiang family, let alone the fact that the second young master has not yet defeated the eldest young master in the family election, you must maintain the habit of being cautious in your words and deeds."

"Although the Jiang family is a first-class family, there are three super-class families above the first-class families. Better safe than sorry."

Upon hearing the name "Superb Family," Jiang Xiao's eyes revealed deep apprehension. Recalling the phone call from earlier, his brows furrowed, and his tone carried a hint of uncertainty, "Master, could it be that Lin Shu and her son are from a Superb Family?"

"do not know."

Yan Tianzong looked at the scenery rushing past the car window and said, "Based on the information we have so far, this is the most reasonable explanation."

"The Second Young Master had just finished disciplining that young man named Lin Mo when he received a warning from the Patriarch. Even a first-class family of the same level as the Jiang family doesn't have this kind of power."

"This is impossible……"

Jiang Xiao frowned deeply. "Haven't the three top-tier families of Xia Kingdom been living in seclusion for many years? Why would they show themselves over such a trivial matter? Besides, why would direct descendants of these top-tier families appear in a small place like Jingchuan? This doesn't make sense!"

"There's nothing unreasonable about it."

Yan Tianzong gazed into the distance, recalling distant memories. "Many years ago, I overheard a piece of news about the Lin family, one of the three super-grade families. At the time, I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that the news is true."

"what news?"

"The news that the Lin family's daughter has been abducted by an unknown boy."

Jiang Xiao's pupils contracted sharply as she recalled her meeting with Lin Shu not long ago. Her voice was filled with disbelief, "Could it be that Lin Shu is the daughter of the Lin family, a top-tier family?"

"Probably."

Yan Tianzong nodded solemnly, “Second Young Master, we should suspend the investigation into Lin Shu and her son. If they are really as we suspect, there will be big trouble. The direct descendants of a super-grade family... we can’t afford to offend them.”

"But...I beat up that Lin Mo today..."

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was genuinely flustered. As a member of a first-grade family, he understood the terror of the three super-grade families better than ordinary people.

Can one hand cover the sky?

No, the "Superb Family" is far more terrifying than that term!

"It doesn't matter."

Yan Tianzong patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder, "As far as I know, even top-tier families don't interfere in the competition and friction among the younger generation."

"Of course, this is on the premise of fair competition. If dirty tricks are used, whether it is an individual, an organization, or even a first-class family, they will be ruthlessly crushed."

"If that's the case, why did the Lin family get involved this time?"

Jiang Xiao was puzzled, "Lin Mo was the one who attacked first, I was just forced to fight back, so you can't blame me, right?"

His words lacked their usual arrogance and instead carried a rare hint of grievance.

"cough--"

Yan Tianzong's expression was strange as he whispered, "Second Young Master, the Lin family's situation is a bit different. As far as I know, the Lin family only has one direct line, and the old patriarch of the Lin family is notoriously protective of his own. It's fortunate that he didn't directly take action against the Jiang family."

Jiang Xiao broke out in a cold sweat.

He almost led his family to ruin by accident.

After figuring out the stakes, Jiang Xiao suddenly understood why the old man had been so angry on the phone. If he were in the old man's position, he would have been even more ruthless.

After a long silence, Jiang Xiao slowly raised his head. "Master, can I still compete for An Youyu?"

"of course can."

Seeing that Jiang Xiao seemed frightened, Yan Tianzong comforted him, "Second Young Master, there's no need to be so careful. Just strive for what you should strive for, as long as you don't use underhanded methods. If it's a normal competition, even if the old patriarch of the Lin family is very protective of his own, he won't use that as a reason to make trouble."

"That's good."

Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. But when he thought about how An Youyu had been staying at the Lin family's house for the past few days, his eyes instantly darkened. His hands clenched involuntarily, and he said coldly, "She has no ladylike restraint at all. If I hadn't been attracted to this bitch's talent, I wouldn't have bothered competing for such a piece of trash!"

"As long as you have talent, does anything else matter?"

Yan Tianzong's question silenced Jiang Xiao.

Seeing this, Yan Tianzong spoke up again to remind him: "Second Young Master comes from the Jiang family. Such matters of love and romance have nothing to do with you. A marriage alliance is inevitable in the future. Girls like An Youyu, who come from humble backgrounds, are fine no matter what, but you cannot marry her."

After hearing Yan Tianzong's words, Jiang Xiao's mindset changed, and he respectfully bowed and said, "Master's teachings will be remembered by this student."

……

"Knock Knock-"

After finishing the call, Lin Shu composed herself and returned to her son's bedroom.

As she entered the room, she saw her son lazily sprawled on the table, staring intently at An Youyu beside him. A smile crept onto her lips as she thought to herself, "I wasted my time worrying about this rascal!"

A cough broke the quiet atmosphere.

Lin Mo then noticed his mother's arrival, and couldn't help but blush. He quickly looked away and asked, "Mom, where have you been?"

"Nothing done."

Lin Shu walked lightly up behind An Youyu, gently massaging her shoulders with both hands. Under the girl's gaze, she explained lightly, "Falling while running must be a problem with the road. I had someone take a look. Even if it doesn't need to be rebuilt, it should at least be tapped. My son dared to trip over it; he's really asking for trouble!"

In the end, the air of someone in a superior position was unmistakable.

An Youyu swallowed hard. For some reason, seeing Lin Shu like this made her inexplicably nervous.

Noticing the girl's subtle change, Lin Mo gave her mother a knowing look. Lin Shu immediately understood, and the oppressive aura vanished instantly, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

"Fish, Auntie has lost her composure, don't be afraid."

"I'm not... I'm not afraid..."

An Youyu didn't understand the deeper meaning in Lin Shu's words, but Lin Mo couldn't hide it from her. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved.

Although his mother usually treats him like a servant and likes to beat him up when there's nothing wrong with him, she is quite protective of him when it really matters.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mom. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing anymore. This time it's my fault for being so disappointing. But please believe me, I won't fall in the same place twice!"

"Oh?"

Lin Shu smiled enigmatically, "Xiao Mo, you don't seem to realize what you've kicked. Such confidence can easily lead to a slap in the face."

"will not!"

After shaking her head, Lin Mo suddenly smiled, as if she had thought of something. "Of course, if our son gets slapped in the face, we'll still have to trouble Mom."

"Hey, you little brat, you didn't pay me back just now..."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I was born into a good family and had such a wonderful mother."

"..."

A tone and manner that provoke a beating.

Lin Shu couldn't help but roll up her sleeves, grab her son by the ear, and say, "Try giving me another beating!"

"wrong."

Lin Mo grimaced and raised his right arm, complaining with great grievance, "Mom, your son is injured right now, can you be a little gentler?"

"The word 'gentle' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

Lin Shu scoffed lightly, pointing to An Youyu, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said, "If you want gentleness, go ask Yu'er for it."
