My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"What do you mean you're mistaken? You're definitely mistaken!"

"It's possible to make a mistake, but if it's definitely a mistake, how could it be? Mom, you're the one who's mistaken!"

"..."

Lin Shu was completely bewildered by the charade, and glared at him irritably, "You're quite the smooth talker, aren't you? Did you throw that carton of milk at some young girl's house?"

"Hey?"

Lin Mo opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Mom, you're amazing!"

"roll!"

Lin Shu broke down and laughed, scolding, "Don't beat around the bush next time, just say it directly!"

"Mom isn't the kind of person who's mean or stingy. Next time you order milk, just order an extra carton."

"But let's make it clear first, you can't give all two boxes of milk to that girl, I'll drink some too."

"Mom, you really are my mom!"

Lin Mo put down his chopsticks with tears of gratitude, opened his arms, and said, "I have nothing to repay you with but a loving hug."

"Sit down and eat, the food is almost cold."

Lin Shu secretly chuckled at her son's antics.

"As ordered."

After the meal, Lin Mo offered to help clear the table.

After he finished his work, he pulled his mother to sit down in the living room.

Lin Shu spoke first, asking, "Xiao Mo, how do you feel about today's standardized test?"

"Good."

"How many points do you estimate you'll get?"

Lin Mo made no attempt to hide anything and answered truthfully, "Around 600."

Lin Shu's hand, which was pouring water, trembled. "How much?"

"About 600."

"Xiao Mo, are you trying to fool your mother like I'm stupid?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo leaned back on the sofa. "Mom, if you want your son to evaluate you, you have to let your son understand you first, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"For example, your son doesn't even know what your job is."

Lin Shu forced a stiff smile. "Forget it, I'd rather wait for the results of the unified exam than listen to your bragging."

"Mom, don't dodge the question. Every time I ask about your work, you deliberately change the subject. Why can't you tell me?"

Lin Mo was not prepared to give up asking her mother about her deliberate avoidance of the question.

Since you've asked, let's get to the bottom of it!

Lin Shu's expression was complicated. "Xiao Mo, it's not what you think, I..."

Lin Mo interrupted, "Why not?"

He understood the principle of 'striking while the iron is hot,' and knew he had to be assertive at this time.

Otherwise, it will end up like in the previous life, with each life ending without a trace.

“Mom, I didn’t do this on a whim. This question has been lingering in my mind for many years, and I have to get to the bottom of it today.”

Lin Shu fell silent.

Lin Mo remained silent and waited patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shu let out a deep sigh.

"Now is not the time to tell you, and knowing this won't do you any good. Wait a little longer, and I'll tell you when the time is right."

"You insist on keeping this from me?"

This is the second time Lin Mo has experienced such intense emotional fluctuations since his rebirth.

The first time I saw An Youyu was in the classroom, and the second time is now.

He had heard these words many times in his previous life.

But even as he entered middle age, the opportunity his mother had spoken of never arrived.

Lin Shu frowned, and a look of guilt appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Mo felt both distressed and annoyed.

My heart aches for my mother!

This is bothering me!

In his previous life, he had asked his mother many times.

Most of the time, the mother deliberately avoided asking, but on the few occasions when she pressed her for details, she would show this heartbreaking expression.

At that time, Lin Mo chose not to press the matter further.

But this time, he is not prepared to give up.

If she didn't harden her heart, her mother would never reveal the secret she had been keeping hidden.

"Mom, is your job related to Grandpa and Grandma?"

"H-how do you know?"

Lin Shu's expression changed, and he lost his composure.

She never uttered a word about this to her son.

Logically speaking, the son shouldn't know.

Could it be...

The thought of that possibility made her face turn deathly pale, with a hint of hidden fear in it.

Lin Mo hunched over, his long fingers tapping rhythmically on the coffee table. "Mom, ever since I can remember, you've never taken me to my maternal grandfather's house for holidays. I know absolutely nothing about his situation."

"Later, Su Wenyang kept a mistress outside, and you divorced; then you got a job and often didn't come home all night. There must be a connection between these things. As your son, don't you even have the basic right to know?"

"I……"

Lin Shu's expression changed several times before she finally made a decision: "Xiao Mo, Mom will give you two choices."

Which two options?

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

If they're willing to agree, it means there's a chance!

Lin Shu took a deep breath. "If you can get into a top-tier university, Mom will tell you everything; if you don't, I'm sorry, Mom will keep these words to herself forever. Can you...accept that?"

Chapter 30 The Deception System

"accept!"

Lin Mo agreed on the spot without any hesitation.

He knew very well that this was the only chance to figure it out.

Lin Shu stood up. "I'm tired. Don't study too late either."

"it is good."

After watching his mother return to her room, Lin Mo also went back to his room.

He has no study plan for tonight.

It's not about giving up, it's about taking a break.

Over the past few days, he has been like a taut string, studying intensely every day with only three or four hours of rest.

The reason he's working so hard is because his performance in this standardized test is extremely important to him!

After the exam, all the accumulated fatigue suddenly came rushing back.

review?

Forget it, I might as well just get some sleep.

Health is the most important thing; as long as you're healthy, you can always make a comeback.

Lin Mo didn't want to die suddenly. After lying down, he suddenly remembered the task of delivering water, and an idea popped into his head as if by some strange impulse.

"System, where are my mission rewards?"

"The host has not completed the mission, so what reward is there?"

"In that case, we should have a proper discussion about it."

Lin Mo propped himself up on the headboard, "Is the mission's purpose to boost Xiaoyuer's courage?"

"Yes."

"She had already shown her willingness to bring me water and even took action, but the mission was interrupted due to a small accident, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

"So, the goal of boosting courage has been achieved, and the interruption of the mission does not affect the final result, right?"

"Yes."

On the surface, Lin Mo remained calm, but in his heart he was desperately trying to deceive people: "In other words, I skipped the mission process and completed the mission's objective."

"In other words, it's about omitting the process to achieve the result; isn't that right?"

"Yes."

Which is more important, the process or the result?

Before the system could reply, Lin Mo clapped his hands, "The result is definitely more important!"
