My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Xue pouted, "Settling accounts is for later. Now, you should answer why you 'raised Lin Mo frugally'."

"..."

Seeing her daughter's expression, Xu Yanshu already knew the answer. She frowned unhappily and said, "Xiaoshu, you shouldn't have been short of money after you left, right?"

"No shortage."

"Then why are you raising my grandson in poverty? He's the only male heir in the Lin family, how can you bear to raise him in poverty?"

Faced with his mother's interrogation, Lin Shuxin felt helpless. "Therefore, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, leave them destitute, and thwart their endeavors, so as to strengthen their resolve and increase their abilities..."

"speak English!"

"cough!"

Lin Shu clicked her tongue and resignedly said, "I was still young back then, how could I know how to be a mother? So I searched for some information online. I saw that people said to raise sons frugally and daughters lavishly, so I..."

After hearing his daughter's explanation, Lin Yi had a look of both laughter and tears on his face.

Xu Yanshu frowned even more. "The idea of ​​raising sons frugally and daughters lavishly is completely wrong."

"If you raise your child in poverty, their mindset will also become impoverished, which is extremely detrimental to their future development. Don't you even understand such an obvious truth?"

"I……"

Even the proud Lin Shu dared not refute her mother's criticism. "Mom, I was wrong, but Xiao Mo has been taught quite well. He ranked second in the college entrance examination this year and made it into the Dragon List. This shows that my methods are not entirely useless. What do you think?"

Lin Xue interrupted, "Lin Mo's good grades are due to his own efforts, and have nothing to do with you. Don't flatter yourself. If he hadn't been raised in poverty, he would most likely be even more outstanding than he is now. I can't say for sure about other things, but at least he wouldn't be as naive as he is now."

Lin Shu: "..."

Can't you die if you don't talk?

Just as she was speechless, Lin Mo spoke up again, "That's not right."

Everyone present was stunned.

Lin Xue stared at Lin Mo with great interest. "What's wrong?"

Lin Mo shrugged. "I don't think there's anything wrong with the method of raising children in poverty. No educational method is absolutely right or wrong, nor is there any absolute failure. Ignoring the issue of probability, judging from the results, my mother's educational method has achieved remarkable results."

This is called outcome-based thinking!

Forget everything else, just look at the results!

He hadn't said anything earlier just to see his mother's embarrassed expression a few more times.

For some reason, Lin Mo felt incredibly satisfied when he saw his mother get the short end of the stick.

Perhaps it was because he had been oppressed by his mother for too many years...

Even Lin Xue, who was always looking for fault, couldn't find any problem with Lin Mo's statement.

Because it is indeed true. Judging from the results alone, Lin Mo is outstanding among her peers. As a single mother, Lin Shu has already been very successful in raising Lin Mo to be like this.

Xu Yanshu adjusted her reading glasses, a smile welling up in her eyes. "Alright, let's eat."

Lin Xue didn't say anything more. She got up and served food to Lin Mo, smiling as she said, "Call me 'sister' so I can hear it."

Lin Mo: "..."

After chatting for so long, why did we end up talking about the same thing again?

"Hello, sister."

Just as Lin Mo was in a dilemma, An Youyu, who was sitting to his right, smiled charmingly, her voice incredibly sweet.

Hearing "sister" made Lin Xue's heart flutter with joy. "Even the fish have called out, Lin Mo, it's your turn."

"I……"

Lin Mo opened his mouth, then looked at his mother.

Lin Shu noticed the gaze his son was casting, and shrugged helplessly, as if to say, "Don't look at me, I can't even take care of myself right now."

Lin Mo then looked at her maternal grandparents.

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Xiao Mo, don't look at me, I'm not getting involved in this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yanshu chimed in, "I won't get involved either."

For these two elderly people, today's family dinner was a great success. They were not the kind of people who were old-fashioned, and they didn't care about how the younger generation addressed them. As long as the younger generation was happy, they could call them whatever they wanted.

What we're after in this life is happiness!

Lin Mo looked around and, seeing that no one was speaking up for him, could only sigh resignedly, "Sis, how about I kowtow to you?"

Sensing the reluctance in Lin Mo's tone, Lin Xue laughed even more heartily, "Sure, I'll do one kowtow if you want, I'm fine with anything."

"..."

Lin Mo rolled her eyes and forced a smile, saying, "Let's eat, let's eat. If we keep talking, the food will really get cold."

An Youyu blinked rapidly. "Can we eat now?"

She had eaten around 10 a.m., and it was already 7 p.m. Her stomach had been growling for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to eat because everyone had been chatting. Now that she heard that she could eat, she couldn't be happier.

Her expectant look made everyone present laugh.

Xu Yanshu waved her hand, "Yu'er, come sit here with Grandma, Grandma will serve you some food."

An Youyu initially wanted to politely decline, but a glance from Lin Shu dispelled her thoughts, and she got up and sat down between Lin Yi and Xu Yanshu.

Lin Yi was in a great mood and said, "Stop chatting and let's start eating."

Xu Yanshu kept putting food on An Youyu's plate.

An Youyu kept thanking him, and the way she ate slowly and carefully melted Xu Yanshu's heart. "Yu'er, don't be so reserved. We're all family now, so eat as much as you want."

Upon hearing the words "family," An Youyu blushed and timidly whispered, "Grandma, Lin Mo and I... are just dating, not in a relationship. Please don't misunderstand."

"..."

Xu Yanshu and Lin Yi exchanged a glance, their faces etched with a big question mark.

Lin Xue wasn't much better off, asking in confusion, "What's the difference between dating and being in a relationship?"

"There's no difference."

Lin Mo seized the opportunity to chime in, "It's just that the names are different."

An Youyu opened her mouth in response to Lin Mo's explanation, but ultimately said nothing.

In fact, she knew that dating and being in a relationship were the same thing. The reason she emphasized that she and Lin Mo were just dating was just deceiving herself.

Grandma won't blame Yuyu, right?

Yes! Definitely not!

The girl had honed her self-questioning skills to a high level, and after comforting herself, she focused her attention on the delicious food in her bowl.

A bite of beef filled her mouth with delicious flavor, and she squinted her clear, watery eyes with a blissful expression.

For the rest of the time, Xu Yanshu only ate a couple of bites as a formality, and once she took An Youyu's left hand, she was reluctant to let go.

Seeing their eager expressions, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile wryly.

His own grandson seems to be neglected; indeed, no one in the world can resist An Youyu.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo's lips curled into a smile.

After everyone had finished eating, Lin Mo put down his chopsticks, smiled at Lin Xue diagonally across from him, and said, "Sister, can I ask you something?"

A look of surprise flashed across Lin Xue's face as she savored her red wine. "Okay."

The others also turned their gazes toward Lin Mo.

Lin Mo didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Isn't our Lin family very powerful?"

Lin Xue was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Lin Shu, "Sister Shu, doesn't Lin Mo know about our Lin family's situation?"

"do not know."

Lin Shu nodded, "From childhood to adulthood, I have never talked to him about the Lin family. He knows nothing about the Lin family."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue's lips curled slightly. "You're really something!"

She then nodded to Lin Mo, "That's right, our Lin family is indeed very powerful, at least in the country. There are only two families that can rival our Lin family."

"You don't need to tell me these things in a hurry."

Lin Mo chuckled and continued the previous topic, asking, "Can the Lin family interfere with the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking? For example, preventing Xiaoyuer from joining the entertainment industry?"

He had two purposes for tonight's family dinner.

First, she wanted to build a good relationship with her maternal grandparents to lay the foundation for her mother's return to the family. Second, she wanted to try to use the Lin family's influence to prevent An Youyu from joining the entertainment industry.

Lin Xue winked at Lin Yi, "Dad, did you hear that? Was it just as I guessed?"

After saying that, she glanced at Lin Shu triumphantly.

Lin Shu scoffed and muttered, "It's just a lucky break, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse."

Lin Xue put down her wine glass. "Sister Shu, is it so hard to admit that I'm outstanding?"

With a kind smile, Lin Yi tapped on the table. "Lin Mo, our Lin family can help Yu'er avoid joining the entertainment industry. However, I don't want to do that. You and Yu'er are both so good; joining the entertainment industry would only bring benefits and no harm."

Lin Mo frowned. "The Lin family isn't short of money, is they?"

Lin Yi stroked his beard and laughed, "Kid, this isn't about money. In this entertainment age, celebrities have too much influence in society. The reason for setting up the Phoenix Ranking is that the higher-ups plan to use the power of entertainment for their own purposes."

"With this opportunity, and both you and Yu'er having the means, there's no reason to refuse."

"But……"

Lin Mo was about to speak when Lin Yi interrupted him, "I know what you're worried about, but I can tell you clearly that your worries are completely unfounded."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's expression changed. "Grandpa, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

"The meaning is very simple."

Lin Yi revealed a meaningful smile, "Your and Yu'er's path in the entertainment industry will be paved by the Lin family!"
