My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Mo spoke up at the right moment, "Mom, if Xiaoyuer wants to help, just let her do it. Otherwise, she'll feel really bad about it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu stopped worrying and went to the sink in the kitchen to chat with An Youyu.

Lin Mo leaned against the kitchen door frame, quietly appreciating the harmonious scene at that moment.

"Here, let Auntie wipe your hands."

"Auntie, I can do it myself."

Why be so formal?

Lin Shu feigned displeasure and took An Youyu's hand to wipe it.

An Youyu was afraid that Lin Shu would be angry, so she dared not refuse again.

An Youyu's hands were beautiful, small and delicate, but when Lin Shu saw the few thin red marks on the back of her left hand, his brows furrowed involuntarily. "Yu'er, how did you get these injuries?"

"Auntie, it's alright."

An Youyu withdrew her hand and hid it behind her back. "These injuries were from when I was working at the library. They're almost healed."

"Don't go there again."

"But……"

"obedient."

Lin Shu turned to look at her son at the door, "Keep an eye on her, don't let Yu'er go to work at the library anymore. Have her come to your house to tutor you on Saturdays and Sundays."

These words were exactly what Lin Mo wanted to hear. "Yes, sir."

An Youyu looked at Lin Mo at the kitchen door, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

Lin Mo gave An Youyu a helpless look.

An Youyu frowned slightly, her inner turmoil clearly visible on her face. "Auntie, I... still need to earn money. Lin Mo's grades are steadily improving, and there's not much I can do to help him. So, one day on Saturday or Sunday is enough. Youyu can take the other day..."

"no!"

In terms of domineering nature, Lin Shu far surpassed his son's level.

If it were Lin Mo, he might have softened and agreed to the girl's pleading tone.

But Lin Shu remained unmoved. In her view, the more the girl acted this way, the more firmly she had to stand her ground.

Before I met her, life was tough.

just now……

impossible!

“Fish, if you tutor Xiaomo, Auntie will pay you for the tutoring. It’s no different from working at the library. So don’t argue about this anymore. Just do as Auntie says. Auntie won’t hurt you. Be good.”

These familiar words made An Youyu involuntarily look at Lin Mo at the door again.

Lin Mo suppressed a laugh and said, "I was raised by my mother."

"…Um."

Unable to refuse, An Youyu could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Shu finally smiled and ruffled An Youyu's long hair. "That's a good girl. Auntie is happy today. Shall we go shopping?"

"shop?"

Unsurprisingly, An Youyu was stunned again...

Chapter 64 Bargaining

Qianding Shopping Mall is the most famous shopping mall in Jingchuan City, bar none.

Looking at the lavish decor before her, An Youyu felt a sense of trepidation.

Lin Shu held her small hand and said softly, "Have you rarely been to places like this before?"

"Ah."

An Youyu admitted it truthfully.

Ever since the flash flood that struck when she was a child, she was adopted into an orphanage and has always worn other people's tattered clothes. She has never been to a large shopping mall like this before.

Just then, Lin Mo's voice rang out from behind, "Mom, let alone Xiaoyuer, even I have never been to Qianding. I have to say, you have truly grasped the essence of raising a son frugally."

"Cough-cough-"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Shu's face as she glanced back at her son, who was clearly full of complaints. "Didn't I explain this to you before?"

"Explain what?"

"It's my first time being a mom, I have no experience."

"..."

Faced with her mother's self-righteous indignation, Lin Mo wearily waved her hand in surrender.

Seeing that her son had nothing to say, Lin Shu smiled with satisfaction: "Yu'er, don't be afraid with Auntie. Come on, let's go upstairs for a stroll."

Before An Youyu could agree, Lin Shu pulled her onto the elevator, her expression both helpless and confused.

Lin Mo played the role of a follower, obediently following behind. As the elevator ascended, his eyes appeared slightly dazed.

This scene seems to have come rather early...

Upon arriving on the third floor, Lin Shu pulled An Youyu into a jewelry store and chatted with the sales clerk with great familiarity.

Lin Mo felt increasingly uneasy about this situation.

Back then, his mother would take him to buy clothes at street stalls, and he was even thinking about how to save money for his mother.

In retrospect, it seems he was just being delusional.

However, he became increasingly curious about his mother's profession, which offered a high degree of freedom and an astonishingly high salary, as evidenced by the fact that his mother had casually tossed him a million dollars before.

"Ms. Lin, this bracelet is a new product that our brand has just launched. It is very suitable for your daughter's temperament."

Hearing the female clerk's words, Lin Shu couldn't stop smiling, "Okay, help her put it on."

"and many more."

An Youyu, who had been silent all along, could no longer remain calm. The price of this bracelet far exceeded her expectations. She had only glanced at it casually, but it had made her heart pound with fear.

9999!

That is, ten thousand yuan!

How many years would it take to work in a library to afford this bracelet?

Even if there is a salary increase later, it will take at least two and a half years.

Seeing that Lin Shu wanted to buy it, An Youyu hurriedly took two steps back. Without saying anything, the obvious resistance in her eyes said it all.

Lin Shu understood, gave her son a meaningful look, and then spoke quietly with the teller.

After receiving a look from her mother, Lin Mo quickly went to An Youyu's side and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

An Youyu pointed at Lin Shu, then at the bracelet on the counter, "Lin Mo, I... I don't want such an expensive gift. Auntie has already been very good to me, please don't let her give me any more gifts, okay?"

Lin Mo clicked his tongue. Actually, he also felt that it was inappropriate for his mother to give An Youyu such an expensive bracelet. After all, the girl was too timid. Although she had become much more cheerful than before during their time together, it was only relatively speaking.

Such an action could easily frighten her.

"Fish, come and try it."

Before Lin Mo could answer, his mother's voice came from beside him.

An Youyu took a deep breath, grabbed Lin Mo's sleeve and shook it, "Please help me, okay?"

The soft voice made Lin Mo's breath catch in his throat for a moment. "Okay."

"Mom, this bracelet is too..."

"Fish, come and try it on."

"Auntie, I..."

"Try it on."

In a one-on-two situation, Lin Shu had the upper hand. She picked up the bracelet and put it on An Youyu's wrist. After examining it carefully, she nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, it looks good."

"Auntie, I..."

"Little fish, watch Auntie's performance later."

An Youyu still couldn't bring herself to refuse. After hearing Lin Shu's whisper, her eyes were filled with confusion, "What...performance?"

Standing at the back, Lin Mo slapped his forehead, already guessing what was going on.

The little girl is too naive!

Lin Shu pulled An Youyu aside and said, "Yu'er, you may not know this, but Auntie is very skilled at bargaining. This bracelet looks expensive, but it's actually the shopkeeper deliberately trying to rip off young people. Watch Auntie haggle it down."

"Bargaining?"

An Youyu was stunned. "Auntie, can we still bargain here?"

"of course can!"

A smile gathered deep in Lin Shu's eyes as she led An Youyu back to the counter. "How much is this bracelet?"

"Since the bracelet is a new product, it is not cheap. It is currently priced at 9999 Xia coins."

"What the hell? They dare to sell this for 9999? Why don't they just rob someone?!"

“Ms. Lin, the price is set by headquarters, and we also…”

"Stop talking nonsense. I'll give you a price. If you can sell it, then sell it. If not, we'll go look around somewhere else."

"You say."

"Round down to zero".

"9900? That's not impossible..."

"99 yuan."

"..."
