My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Xu, who was sitting in front, took off his sunglasses, turned around and smiled politely at Lin Mo behind him, and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

The business card only had a name and a mobile phone number, nothing else.

Lin Mo took the business card and put it in his pocket, nodding and saying, "Lin Xu, right? What a coincidence, I also have the surname Lin."

Lin Xu coughed and said, "Young Master, my surname Lin was bestowed upon me by the head of the family. I am merely an unofficial member of the Lin family."

"Unofficial staff?"

Hearing Lin Xu's explanation, Lin Mo became even more curious about her maternal grandparents, whom she had never met before, and asked indirectly, "Lin Xu, this is my first time back to the Lin family. What is the current situation of the Lin family? How are the direct descendants distributed?"

"cough--"

Lin Xu gave an awkward smile. "Young Master, I'm sorry I can't answer your question. We are not qualified to discuss matters concerning the Lin family's internal affairs. If you are really curious, you can ask the head of the family when you see him."

Having received no answer, Lin Mo didn't dwell on it and changed the subject, asking, "Where are we having dinner tonight?"

"The Lin Family Manor is located in the southern suburbs."

"Oh?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes. "I thought the Lin family lived in the city center. Why did they build a manor in the southern suburbs?"

Lin Xu patiently explained, "The head of the family prefers quiet and is not used to the environment in the city center, so he bought a piece of land in the southern suburbs and built a manor. The Lin family manor has been built for more than 30 years. If the direct descendants of the Lin family do not go out, they basically all live in the Lin family manor."

"That's it."

Lin Mo nodded and said nothing more.

Lin Xu's gaze lingered on An Youyu, who had remained silent, for a moment. He opened his mouth and spoke with a profound meaning, "Young Master, when we arrive at the Lin Family Manor later, some unpleasant things may happen. You don't need to say anything; just leave everything to me."

"Something unpleasant?"

Lin Mo frowned. "Just say what you mean, don't beat around the bush. What exactly is this unpleasant thing you're talking about?"

"cough!"

Lin Xu glanced at An Youyu again, then hesitated before saying, "This... is probably not convenient to talk about."

An Youyu realized something too, and the next second, she covered her ears with her hands. "I can't hear anything now, you can speak now."

This adorable gesture completely surprised Lin Xu, who stared in astonishment, mouth agape, at a loss for words.

Lin Mo chuckled, "Go ahead and speak, no need to hide anything."

Seeing Lin Mo say this, Lin Xu no longer hid anything, "Young Master, many years ago, the head of the family arranged a marriage between you and the Leng family's little princess. However, since Miss Lin Shu has been living in Jingchuan with you, the Leng family is not very satisfied with this marriage."

"The Leng family's little princess has come to the Lin family more than once, demanding the annulment of the engagement. She came to the Lin family today, probably because she got the invitation to the family banquet. So when you meet the Leng family's little princess later, she will definitely say some unpleasant things. I hope you will be mentally prepared in advance, young master."

"Baby kiss?"

Lin Mo looked helpless. "That old man is quite the busybody. I'm not even in the capital, how can he arrange a marriage for my child?"

Lin Xu: “…”

That old man?

The name sent a chill down his spine, and in the blink of an eye, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Not only Lin Xu, but the other five bodyguards and the driver in the car were also startled.

In the Lin family, no one has ever dared to address the family head as such!

Lin Xu swallowed hard. "Young Master, you'd better watch your words. It's best not to use that form of address. The head of the family might not care, but the Second Miss definitely will, and she might even use it to..."

"Cough cough!"

Just then, the driver started coughing repeatedly.

Hearing the driver cough, Lin Xu stopped abruptly, then changed the subject, "The head of the family is very happy that Miss Lin Shu has returned. Young Master, please do not act rashly at the family banquet tonight, and put the overall situation first."

Lin Mo smiled but said nothing.

From his brief conversation with Lin Xu, he could tell how complicated the internal relationships within the Lin family were, and that the people in the car clearly belonged to different camps.

An Youyu blinked. "A childhood betrothal? So, you have a fiancée?"

Lin Mo rolled her eyes inwardly. "So, what are you trying to say?"

An Youyu raised her jade lips, put her hand on Lin Mo's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "You have a fiancée, but you're dating me, so you're a scumbag, isn't that right?"

"Bah! Scumbag!"

"..."

Lin Mo met the girl's sly gaze, his lips twitched, and he replied in a low voice, "Little Fish, if you keep being naughty, believe me, I'll spank your bottom right here?"

One sentence was enough to shut An Youyu up.

Her reaction piqued Lin Mo's curiosity. "Little Fish, you should be very sad to hear such news, but why don't you show any sadness on your face?"

An Youyu looked puzzled. "Why should I be sad?"

"I have an arranged marriage."

"Others don't like you, and you don't like them either; besides, you didn't even know about this, so I have no reason to be sad."

An Youyu shook her head, her expression clearly showing arrogance, "Besides, you're my boyfriend now, and that little princess of mine, I don't even care about her."

These were her true thoughts.

She may not like to compete, but not competing doesn't mean others can take what rightfully belongs to her.

My mother-in-law once said something like this.

I will not attack unless attacked; if attacked, I will kill them!

When she gets ruthless, even she herself is afraid...

Chapter 626 Family Banquet (1)

Of all An Youyu's words, Lin Mo loved hearing "You're my boyfriend" the most. He subtly curled the corners of his lips, pretending not to hear clearly, "What am I to you?"

"My boyfriend/girlfriend."

An Youyu's gaze lingered on Lin Mo's face. When she noticed the upturned corners of Lin Mo's mouth, she realized that Lin Mo was deliberately teasing her. If there weren't other people in the car, she would have bitten this bad guy.

She gestured with her fist and threatened in a low voice, "If you dare tease me again, I'll hit you."

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Little Fish, hitting people is not the mark of a good child. You yourself said that girls should be gentle."

"But you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"That's infuriating!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Lin Mo's laughter made the people in front turn around and look back.

An Youyu quickly lowered her head and moved to the side, pretending not to recognize Lin Mo.

Lin Mo shrugged nonchalantly, his heart filled with anticipation for the Lin family manor he was about to visit.

This is a path I never set foot on in my previous life.

The sky outside the car window gradually darkened, and the sunset on the horizon turned orange, tinting the feather-shaped clouds orange-red. The sunlight shone through the window onto Lin Mo, whose brain was like a high-speed computer, pondering what might happen after they arrived at the Lin family manor.

Seeing Lin Mo staring silently out the car window, his profile revealing a serious expression, An Youyu unconsciously grabbed his hand and softly comforted him, "Don't be nervous, Auntie and I are here."

Lin Mo snapped out of his reverie and gently stroked the back of the girl's hand. "Don't worry, I'm not nervous."

Hearing this familiar conversation, a mischievous smile flashed in An Youyu's eyes. "Then let me ask you, what's your name?"

"My name is Lin Mo, and your name is Not Nervous."

"..."

An Youyu was taken aback. When she met Lin Mo's teasing gaze, she couldn't help but glare at him with embarrassment and indignation. "You... you're not cooperating at all. I was just trying to comfort you."

Lin Mo laughed, "Sorry, sorry, then ask again."

An Youyu pursed her lips. "What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Mo, and your name is Not Nervous."

"..."

Having been tricked again, An Youyu was so angry that she didn't care that there were other people in the car. She bit Lin Mo's hand, leaving two rows of faint teeth marks on it.

Lin Mo's resolute eyes were filled with tenderness as he gently stroked An Youyu's hair on the back. "Don't worry about me. You know I'm fearless and I'm not afraid of being on stage. But you, don't be afraid no matter who you meet later."

"Especially don't always hang your head down, be more confident, and hold your head up."

An Youyu pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, "I was the one comforting you, but somehow it's become you comforting me. How annoying."

Lin Mo smiled without saying a word.

It was a little past six in the afternoon, and the setting sun had already disappeared most of the way down the horizon. The car was parked in the parking lot in front of a manor.

The car door opened, and Lin Xu respectfully gestured for them to get out. "Young Master, Miss An, we've arrived. Please get out of the car."

After Lin Mo and An Youyu got out of the car, they immediately looked up at the manor gate in front of them. The blue-green stone gate was more than ten meters wide and about seven or eight meters high. The stone lions on both sides of the gate were made of the same blue-green material.

Above the main gate, four large vermilion characters are very eye-catching.

Lin Family Manor

Lin Mo's eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he whispered in An Youyu's ear, "Do you recognize the material of this door? It looks like jade to me."

"It's jade."

An Youyu nodded with great certainty, her eyes flashing with amazement, "This is called jadeite. Nangang is rich in this kind of jade. Its value is moderate, not high, but not too cheap either. The key is that this piece of jadeite in front of us... is so big!"

It is over ten meters wide and seven or eight meters high...

Based on current market prices for jade, even though the gate in front of us is hollowed out, its value is still no less than 200 million yuan.

"A door made of jade? That's quite impressive!"

After sighing, Lin Mo nodded to Lin Xu beside him and said, "Lead the way."

"Yes."

Lin Xu nodded, walked in front of the two, and led them into the Lin family manor.
