My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Sometimes, eye contact is also a form of communication.

such as……

this moment!

Seeing that Lin Mo remained silent for a long time, An Youyu looked up, ready to explain, but when she saw his deep eyes, her anxious heart instantly calmed down. "Why didn't you think about it?"

Why overthink it?

Lin Mo smiled and retorted, "When you said I talked too much, weren't you praising me?"

An Youyu asked in surprise, "You know?"

"of course."

Lin Mo tapped the girl's forehead and reassured her in a joking tone, "No need to explain anything, my comprehension is very strong."

An Youyu pursed her lips, and the corners of her eyes curved involuntarily.

But she felt the atmosphere between them was a little too awkward, so she stiffly changed the subject, "Um...aren't we going to eat across the street? If we don't go soon, I'm going to starve."

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Faced with Lin Mo's teasing, An Youyu blushed and gave a weak "hmm".

Finally, she couldn't help but add softly, "Even if it's an exaggeration, it's only a little bit."

A smile welled up in Lin Mo's heart as he took An Youyu's hand and walked towards the sidewalk ahead.

After walking only a few dozen meters, a ragged beggar was kneeling by the roadside. He was dressed in tattered clothes and covered in dust; however, it was still easy to tell that the beggar was very young, at most thirty years old.

Lin Mo was taken aback when he saw the wooden sign in the beggar's hand.

A disabled person is begging to support their sister's schooling. They plead with kind-hearted people to help as they can. Heaven is watching; good deeds bring blessings.

An Youyu naturally noticed the beggar by the roadside. After seeing the contents of the wooden sign in the beggar's hand, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and she slowly stopped.

The next second, she rummaged in her pocket, took out a stack of banknotes, and finally took out the largest denomination banknote, a hundred-yuan note. She squatted down in front of the beggar and placed the hundred-yuan note in the bowl on the ground.

Just as she stood up, the beggar suddenly spoke up, "Young lady, could you do some good deeds?"

Upon hearing this, An Youyu was greatly surprised. "Do more good deeds? What do you mean?"

The beggar smiled, his eyes red and his voice trembling, "My sister is young, and I don't want her to only be able to eat steamed buns at school every day; if possible, I hope you can help me again, thank you."

"I've already paid."

If an ordinary person were begged like this by a beggar, they might feel obligated to give him some money, but An Youyu didn't feel that way at all. She didn't have enough money to begin with, and the younger siblings in the orphanage needed money for many things.

If it weren't for the fact that this person was begging for his sister, she probably wouldn't have given him even 100 yuan, at most 10 yuan.

There are far too many pitiful people in the world, and her abilities are limited; she can't possibly help everyone. Right now, this hundred yuan is already her limit.

But to her utter surprise, after she had already given the beggar 100 yuan, he still asked her to give him more money.

An Youyu may be a little slow on the uptake when it comes to emotions, but she is surprisingly sensitive when it comes to money.

Deceiving someone's feelings might work...

Scamming her out of money is absolutely unacceptable!

Upon hearing the beggar's words, An Youyu instantly felt like she had been tricked, and repeated what she had just said, "I've already given him money."

Lin Mo stood aside with his arms crossed and eyes narrowed, not intending to intervene. His gaze fell on the empty trouser leg behind the beggar, and then his attention shifted to the thick futon beneath the beggar.

You learn from your mistakes; you only remember what you've been fooled.

In today's deceitful society, kindness can often become your weakness!

The beggar looked surprised. "When did you give me money?"

"Ugh?"

An Youyu was incredulous at the beggar's sudden change of attitude. She reached for the hundred-yuan bill in the bowl, but the moment she picked it up, the beggar grabbed her wrist and shouted, "Everyone come quick! Someone is robbing a beggar!"

Lin Mo's eyes turned cold, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the beggar.

Seeing that Lin Mo made no move, the beggar winced and released his grip, staring at him with suspicion and uncertainty. "Who are you? Are you with her?"

Lin Mo pulled An Youyu to her feet, looking at her slightly reddened wrist with indifference in his eyes, "If you dare touch her again, I'll break your hand."

The beggar ignored Lin Mo's threat and continued shouting, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, these two not only robbed me of my hard-earned money, but also tried to beat me! Is there no justice in this world? Is there no fairness?"

As she spoke, she covered her face and began to cry.

The commotion instantly attracted the attention of the crowds on the surrounding roadside, and soon the area was surrounded by layers upon layers of people.

These people don't care about the facts; influenced by their subjective emotions, they will only stand on the side that appears to be the weaker party.

Beggars are the vulnerable party!

In an instant, many people began to stand on the moral high ground and condemn Lin Mo and An Youyu.

"The quality of young people these days is so poor. They look respectable, yet they come out on the street to rob beggars. It's really scary when you think about it. If they dare to rob people on the street now, will they dare to rob banks in the future?"

"Exactly! If I had a son and a daughter like that, I reckon I'd live ten years less!"

"They even steal money from beggars? Have they wasted their education?"

"Hurry up and return the money to them. Is it so hard to be a decent human being?"

...

Hearing these harsh words, An Youyu frowned. She wanted to explain, but the people around her were too loud, so no one except Lin Mo could hear what she said.

Lin Mo patted her shoulder and asked gently, "How about I handle it?"

"No, I can do that."

An Youyu shook her head slightly, looked at the hundred-yuan bill in her hand, remained silent for more than ten seconds, and then slowly walked up to the beggar.

Upon seeing this, those around them stopped their condemnation.

After the scene quieted down, An Youyu squatted down and put the hundred-yuan bill back into the bowl on the ground, her clear eyes scanning her surroundings.

"Whether you believe it or not, I gave him the money; he just wanted more and then started making false accusations after being refused."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the beggar began to cry loudly, “She’s talking nonsense, and she took more than just 100 yuan, she took 600 or 700 yuan. I saw her put the rest of the money into her own pocket.”

The beggar's words caused an uproar among the onlookers, and the rebukes that had just stopped swept in again.

"Young lady, I see you have a good demeanor and you shouldn't be short of money, so how could you do such an immoral thing?"

"Good looks often indicate a dark heart!"

"Pshaw! Who knows if she's good-looking or not with a mask on?"

"What does her appearance have to do with what she does? A person with a dark heart is filthy and disgusting no matter what their appearance is like!"

...

Lin Mo frowned and walked towards the woman who had spoken earlier. "What did you just say?"

Seeing Lin Mo walking towards them, the woman sneered, "Didn't you hear me? Fine, then I'll grant your wish; you and this girl robbing a beggar in the street, isn't that filthy and disgusting? If all the younger generation of Xia Kingdom were like you, I'm afraid Xia Kingdom wouldn't be far from its demise!"

Such a dangerous statement immediately silenced the surroundings once again.

Lin Mo laughed, "Excuse me... did you just come out of the toilet? Why does your breath smell so bad?"

"you……"

The woman's face turned red with anger, and she shoved Lin Mo hard. "Robbery in the street, and you still think you're right?"

Lin Mo's lips curled into a smile, and his voice rose considerably, "Everyone saw it, she was the one who struck first."

"Snapped--"

Before his voice had even faded completely, a crisp slap rang out.

The woman covered her face, staring at Lin Mo in disbelief. "You...you dare to hit me?"

Lin Mo shook his hand, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. "I don't usually hit women, but you were born a human being, yet you don't act like one. I can't bear to see you go further and further down the path of being an animal. No need to thank me, my name is Gu Fan."

Chapter 215 Little Fish, It's Your Turn to Perform

The beating, coupled with these barbed words, caused the woman to instantly lose her mind and lunge at Lin Mo like a madwoman.

Lin Mo took a step to the side with his left foot, and the woman missed her target, falling directly onto the bluestone slab with her hair disheveled, looking quite disheveled.

She got up from the ground, glaring angrily at Lin Mo, and yelled at the surrounding crowd, "So many people are just going to stand by and watch? Isn't anyone going to stand up for justice?"

Lin Mo found it amusing and said, "What is justice? Is what you consider justice?"

"Seeing is not necessarily believing, let alone seeing it. You didn't even see it, yet you've concluded that we robbed him based solely on this beggar's one-sided account. Is your so-called justice just your subjective imagination?"

At this point, he laughed to himself, his smile full of sarcasm. "Everything needs evidence. Those who say we robbed this beggar, please provide your evidence."

The people around looked at each other, bewildered.

evidence?

Where are they going to find evidence?

Besides, who has that kind of free time? Most people are just passing by to watch the show!

The woman was furious that no one spoke up for her.

But after what had just happened, she knew she was no match for Lin Mo, so she left after uttering a harsh remark.

"Kid, this isn't over yet. I'm reporting this to the Bureau of Order right now!"

"Please."

An Youyu stepped forward and checked Lin Mo over. "Are you hurt?"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

"We can't resort to violence, or things will only escalate."

Seeing the girl's worry, Lin Mo tapped her forehead with his finger. "Would you like me to handle this now?"

"What else can we do now that things are like this?"

An Youyu looked dejected. "This is my fault. I'll handle it."

As she spoke, she pulled out all the cash she had on her, which amounted to about 1,500 yuan.
