Lin Shu had just finished making dinner and reached the stairwell when she noticed her son sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. "He has no manners at all, always acting like a big shot."

Hearing his mother's voice, Lin Mo sat up a little straighter and looked at his mother who was walking towards him with a smile. "Mom, you should enjoy life to the fullest when you are successful. All the rules and regulations will only limit your nature."

"You are the only one who is wrong."

Although Lin Shu said that, she didn't dwell on the issue too much. She sat down opposite her son and asked, "You're quite free today? Aren't you busy with your battery technology anymore?"

Lin Mo answered casually, "I've done what I could, and I can't handle the rest."

Lin Shu gave her a knowing look. "Can't handle it? What are you going to do then?"

Her tone and expression clearly indicated that she was looking forward to a good show.

Lin Mo secretly rolled his eyes at this, "What else can we do? Of course, we should find professionals to do this kind of professional thing."

"Ah--"

Lin Shu covered her mouth and chuckled, "I thought someone was going to give up."

"The word 'give up' is not in my dictionary."

Lin Mo shook his head lightly, "Either don't do it at all, or if you do it, you can't give up halfway."

Lin Shu laughed, "You're quite ambitious. I'd like to see what kind of trouble you can cause."

After chatting for a few minutes, she stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright, let's go upstairs and get ready for dinner."

"and many more."

Lin Mo suddenly called out to his mother. He had been struggling with the question of whether or not to take An Youyu to the orphanage the next day, but finally came to the conclusion of 'no'.

As for how to cancel the trip reasonably without arousing An Youyu's suspicion, that requires some skill.

However, the moment Lin Mo saw his mother, a rough outline of a plan had already formed in his mind.

Lin Shu stopped walking, a look of doubt in her eyes. "Is there anything else?"

"Have."

Lin Mo nodded in agreement. Facing his mother, he didn't bother beating around the bush and directly explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Lin Shu frowned, a deep pity flashing in her eyes, "Poor girl...sigh!"

Lin Mo, his usual carefree demeanor gone, sighed heavily, "That's the situation. I really don't dare tell Xiaoyuer this news right now. With her personality, if she finds out that Dean Zhou has already... I'm afraid she'll have a hard time accepting it."

Lin Shu nodded subtly, "Let alone Yu'er, even I would probably find it hard to accept."

"So, I still plan to keep it from Xiaoyuer for now."

Lin Mo looked helpless. "Today in my room, things got heated, and if I refused Xiaoyuer's conditions, she would definitely become suspicious, given her intelligence. So I had no choice but to agree."

Lin Shu understood what her son meant. "You have an idea?"

"Yes, but it will require you to make a sacrifice."

"Easy to say."

Lin Shu readily agreed, "What are you planning to do?"

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it's quite simple. You are very important to Yu'er. If you suddenly feel unwell, she will definitely go to the hospital with you. As long as we can stall for tomorrow, we don't need to worry about being exposed in the short term."

"Feeling unwell?"

Lin Shu was full of suspicion. "Xiao Mo, do you mean I should pretend to be sick?"

"No, no, no, I'm not faking illness."

Lin Mo shook his head. "Xiaoyuer is very smart. If you pretend to be sick, she might see through it."

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow. "If we don't fake illness, then what do we do?"

Lin Mo chuckled, "Mom, didn't I say before that I needed you to make a sacrifice?"

Suddenly, Lin Shu seemed to have guessed something, and asked with a stiff face, "How do you want me to sacrifice myself?"

Lin Mo walked around the coffee table and explained in a low voice, "If you suddenly feel unwell during dinner later..."

Lin Shu's lips twitched at her son's attempt to scheme against her. "What do you want me to do? Xiao Mo, Mom has to remind you of something: you only have me as your mother, so be careful."

Seeing his mother's worried expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh. "Mom, don't worry, I definitely won't do anything reckless. At most, you'll end up with an appendix."

Lin Shu: "..."

The look in someone's eyes that screams "I want to kill you!" is obvious.

Paying for an appendix?

Grass!

Listen, is this human talk?

My eldest son actually wants to remove her appendix, damn it!

Lin Shu stared at the pale face, her eyes like knives, "Xiao Mo, actually Mom can still have more children, you don't need to do such crazy things."

"cough--"

Lin Mo chuckled awkwardly, "I just noticed you seemed a bit somber, so I thought I'd lighten the mood. Please don't take it seriously..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu's expression softened somewhat.

Before she could think any further, her son's muttering rang in her ears again, "Actually, there's not much difference between one appendix and two..."

"Suck it!"

Lin Shu's icy eyes were filled with boundless murderous intent. She grabbed her son's ear and pulled it long.

"Ouch...it hurts, it hurts!"

Lin Mo screamed repeatedly.

But for some reason, he hadn't been beaten recently, and when his mother suddenly started hitting him, he felt a strange sense of familiarity and warmth.

seem……

Getting a beating once in a while isn't so bad.

Lin Shu, her face stern, coldly questioned, "You brat, if you're ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless too. You want to get rid of my appendix, huh? Fine, then neither of us will have an easy time. We'll go to the hospital together later. My appendix, your kidney—it doesn't really matter whether you have one or two kidneys."

"what?!"

Lin Mo panicked and stood up abruptly, but due to excessive force, his mother almost pulled his ear off, causing him to grimace in pain.

But at this moment, he could only endure the pain and complain with snot and tears streaming down his face: "Mom, you can't just say things like that! Kidneys are different from the appendix. There's a big difference between having one kidney and having two. Besides, this concerns Xiaoyu'er's future happiness. You don't want your son to be incapacitated, do you?"

"Do you want to hold your granddaughter anymore?"

"Do you still want your grandson?"

"Do you still want to be a grandmother?"

Lin Shu noticed that her son had wiped his snot on his trouser leg, and her face immediately darkened. She suppressed the urge to hit him and sneered, "You act like you only need two kidneys. If you can't, then don't keep the fish by not having kids. I can still have kids. Go cool off somewhere else."

"..."

Lin Mo backed down and said softly, "Mom, please give up the idea of ​​starting a new account. I won't stop you from doing this."

"What the hell?"

"Isn't Uncle Xu at home?"

Chapter 402 The Tragic Story of Xu Huang

"Ah-"

Xu Huang, who was watching TV alone in his room, rubbed his nose and muttered to himself, "It's so hot, I shouldn't be catching a cold, right?"

He didn't think much of it. After a moment of confusion, he continued watching the romantic idol drama with great interest, occasionally letting out a goose-like quack.

"Knock Knock-"

Not long after, a knock on the door interrupted Xu Huang's binge-watching. Upon seeing Lin Mo outside the door, he immediately paused, "Young Master, are you going out?"

As he spoke, he picked up the suit jacket from the coat rack by the door and headed to prepare the car.

Lin Mo quickly pulled him along and walked into the house mysteriously, "How is Uncle Xu's health?"

Although Xu Huang was puzzled, he didn't think much of it and answered truthfully, "Very good."

Is it durable?

"It should be... possible."

Compared to before, Xu Huang's words carried a hint of surprise and uncertainty. He sensed something was amiss from Lin Mo's attitude.

"cough--"

"Why does the young master ask this?"

"There's something I might need your help with. Would that be alright?"

"Of course, young master, just give the order if you need anything."

"Please have something to eat."

"what?"

"Close your eyes first."

Xu Huang was puzzled, but he still closed his eyes as Lin Mo asked.

"Uncle Xu, open your mouth."

"what……"

Xu Huang felt as if a sweet bean had been stuffed into his mouth. He bit into it and, wow, it was quite crumbly.

It tastes pretty good.

He opened his eyes, chewing as he asked, "Young Master, what is this you gave me? It's quite delicious. Is there more?"

Lin Mo looked puzzled, reached into his back pocket with his right hand, pulled out a handful of colorful round beans, and handed them to Xu Huang. "That's all, but you can't eat too much of this stuff, it has quite a few side effects."

"What side effects could this snack have?"

Xu Huang shook his head dismissively, stuffing more and more into his mouth, and commented as he chewed, "I must say, this stuff has a rather unique flavor. Where did you buy it, young master?"
