"impossible!"
Duan Ya waved his hand, "That little bit of body-shaping cream couldn't possibly give your wrist such a significant improvement; it would be more like doubling its effect..."
As soon as he uttered the word "many," a possibility popped into his mind.
The next second, his eyes widened, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Those body shaping creams I gave to An yesterday, did she give them to you to use?"
Lin Mo nodded innocently, "I used it."
"what--"
Duanya clutched his head with both hands and let out a painful howl.
At this moment, his heart was bleeding...
Chapter 243 Such a grown son, better off without him!
"An girl, you've gone back on your word!"
Upon entering the restaurant, Duan Ya immediately questioned An Youyu upon seeing her, his frustration evident in his expression.
Lin Shu, who was cooking, and An Youyu, who was helping out, couldn't help but look at each other with puzzled expressions.
Lin Shu glanced at the cliff and asked the girl in a low voice, "Fish, what did you do to offend this guy?"
An Youyu looked bewildered. "Auntie, I don't know either."
Lin Shu turned off the stove, turned around and stood in front of An Youyu, glaring at Duan Ya with annoyance, "Why are you being so fierce?"
Meeting Lin Shu's gaze, Duan Ya felt inexplicably uneasy. "Who, who was fierce? I was just... just asking a question."
"Inquire? Ha—"
Lin Shu sneered, "Don't try to make yourself look good. Anyone would have thought you were questioning me with that tone. What right do you have to question Yu'er? Besides, you don't have the right!"
Previously, she only protected one person.
Now it's different; there's one more!
This wasn't the first time Duan Ya had experienced Lin Shu's assertiveness, but he still felt frustrated. "Xiao Shu, could you please figure things out before giving your opinion?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shu stopped cooking, pulled An Youyu to the dining table and sat down, then gave Duan Ya a look, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Sitting opposite him, the questioning look that had just faded from his eyes resurfaced. "Girl, when I sold you the ointment yesterday, didn't you promise me you wouldn't let Lin Mo use it? Why are you going back on your word?"
An Youyu suddenly realized what the cliff was all about and replied softly, "Uncle, you asked me yesterday not to give the ointment to Lin Mo, but I didn't agree."
"How could you not agree? You clearly agreed!"
"No."
"Have!"
Seeing that Duanya insisted that she had agreed, An Youyu had no choice but to bring up what she had said yesterday again, "Uncle, think back carefully, didn't I say I would consider it?"
The cliff suddenly fell silent.
The girl's reminder reminded him of their conversation in the living room yesterday.
At the time, it seemed that the girl did indeed say she would consider it...
For a moment, the cliff was caught off guard and speechless.
At the restaurant entrance, Lin Mo leaned against the door frame without saying a word, but he couldn't stop smiling.
After a moment of silence, Duan Ya spoke again, "Girl, is that all you're thinking?"
"Correct."
The girl's answer made him slap his forehead in disbelief, and his face grew increasingly dark. "Girl, do you know how rare those ointments are?"
"do not know."
"..."
An Youyu's clear eyes flashed with confusion, "Uncle, you sold me those ointments, which means I own them. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with distributing my own things, right?"
After being choked repeatedly, Duan Ya sighed dejectedly, looking up, "I shouldn't have given you those body-shaping creams."
"okay!"
After listening to their conversation, Lin Shu had grasped the general situation and spoke up to help An Youyu out of the predicament, saying, "Even the best things are meant to be used. And since you've already used them, why bother with these things?"
"Xiao Shu, this time it's really not because I'm holding a grudge."
With things having progressed to this point, Duanya simply stopped hiding it. "Those body shaping creams are what I've painstakingly saved up over the years. I wasn't reluctant to give them to Lin Mo. These creams were originally intended for him, but not to be used like this. Using them like this won't achieve the best results."
"Small things."
Lin Shu casually remarked, "Just buy more when you run out. No matter how expensive something is, it always has a price, right?"
"It has a price but no market."
"It's not that weird, it's just some body shaping cream, just wait."
Lin Shu scoffed at the phrase "having a price but no market".
Born into a prominent family, she deeply understood one principle.
Anything can be bought as long as it has a price.
If you can't buy it, it's simply because the price isn't right.
She took out her phone and dialed a number. The call was answered quickly.
"Dad, have you ever heard of body shaping cream?"
Upon hearing the word "Dad," Lin Mo, who was watching the play, instantly perked up.
My mother's father was the mysterious maternal grandfather whom I had never met!
An aged voice came from the phone; it was Lin Yi, "Body shaping cream? This stuff is rather rare..."
"How about getting some for your daughter?"
There was a two or three-second silence on the other end of the phone before Lin Yi's voice rang out again. Compared to his previous seriousness, this time it carried a hint of surprise and joy: "How many do you want? Just name your number; Dad will definitely get them for you."
Lin Shu moved her phone away slightly and whispered towards the cliff opposite, "How much of your body shaping cream did Xiao Mo use?"
Duan Ya stared blankly. "Seven coins."
Lin Shu nodded, "Dad, don't make too much, give your daughter ten jin first."
Upon hearing the figure of ten jin, Lin Yi's breath hitched, and he explained with a wry smile, "Xiao Shu, we can't get ten jin of this stuff. All the body shaping cream in our secret vault combined doesn't even amount to a jin."
"Here's what I'll do. I'll have someone send you half a jin. That's the limit. Any more and people will complain."
"Okay, half a catty it is."
Lin Shu didn't haggle.
She knew that her family had many ancient martial arts practitioners, and even Duan Ya, the former number one on the Red List, valued the body-shaping cream so much. Ordinary ancient martial arts practitioners must value it even more.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a sacred medicine for martial arts!
As the former eldest daughter of the Lin family, she was well aware of just how terrifying the resources her family controlled were.
Even so, the Lin family's secret vault contained less than a pound of body-shaping cream. Such a rare item must be closely watched by the high-ranking martial artists who served the family.
Her father was willing to give her most of it, which was indeed his limit.
The cliff opposite was completely dumbfounded.
Body shaping cream, or half a pound?
This……
too crazy!
Lin Yi asked, "Xiao Shu, is this for Xiao Mo?"
"Correct."
When questioned by his father, Lin Shu readily admitted it.
Lin Yi laughed, "Okay, remember to call Dad if you need anything in the future. You must keep this good habit. Alright, I have some important things to take care of later. I'll call you back when I have some free time tonight."
"Goodbye, I'm taking my two kids out to broaden their horizons today, so I probably won't be free tonight."
"Well... alright then, remember to call often when you have time, and it's best to go home..."
"Snapped--"
Seeing that her father was about to launch into another long-winded speech, Lin Shu decisively hung up the phone.
As soon as she looked up, she was startled by her son who suddenly appeared beside her. She glared at him irritably and said, "You're always appearing out of nowhere. Are you trying to scare me to death so you can find a new mom?"
Lin Mo chuckled, not responding to the question, his delicate features revealing a fawning expression, "Mom, who were you calling just now?"
Lin Shu raised an eyebrow. "You clearly heard everything, so why are you asking?"
"I just wanted to confirm it."
"My dad, your maternal grandfather!"
"call--"
After receiving her mother's affirmation, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "He never told me about Grandpa before, so I thought he was no longer alive."
Lin Shu: "..."
A child this old is better off not having.
Three words!
Kill him!!!

"Ok?"
"How about you get a different mother?"
