He put his arm around the girl's shoulder and said with absolute certainty, "If you hadn't shown your math skills yesterday, it might have been all for nothing, but your performance yesterday has won over everyone, including Professor Qi."
"In this situation, do you think Professor Qi would still ignore the things you cracked FTSD? If I'm not mistaken, Professor Qi is probably looking at them right now, and he might even be gasping for breath as he reads them."
"Nonsense."
In fact, just as Lin Mo had predicted.
In Xia Bei and Qi Bei's offices, gasps of cold air could be heard from time to time.
Qi Bei sat at his desk, a stack of draft paper as high as a small mountain beside him. He was looking down, his head almost touching the table, and he was holding his reading glasses.
The more he looked, the more astonished he became, as if he had transformed into a cobra, hissing incessantly.
"This...this is defying the heavens!"
…………
At lunchtime, An Youyu was once again placed between Lin Yi and Xu Yanshu. The two kept serving her food, their hands busy while their mouths were also busy, constantly asking her how she was doing.
This kind of treatment made An Youyu very embarrassed. She timidly said, "Grandpa and Grandma, we just met the night before last. You don't need to do this. You don't need to keep putting food on my plate. I can manage on my own."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lin Yi stroked his beard and laughed, looking at his daughter across from him. "Xiao Shu, when I first saw this girl, I was utterly amazed by her looks. As I got to know her better, I felt more and more that she was exactly my type. Xiao Mo is really lucky."
Xu Yanshu rolled her eyes at her husband and corrected him, "What do you mean by 'her appearance is to your liking'? Yu'er is to everyone's liking. As a woman myself, even I can't resist her charm, okay?"
Lin Shu covered her mouth and laughed, softly echoing her mother, "That's right."
Lin Xue clicked her tongue, glanced at An Youyu, then at Lin Mo, and shook her head with a complicated expression.
This action immediately drew Lin Mo's dissatisfaction, and he protested, "Sister Xue, what do you mean by shaking your head? Do I look that shabby?"
Lin Xue blinked. "Xiao Mo, why are you being so fierce? I don't think I said anything just now, did I?"
Lin Mo was furious at Lin Xue's act of pretending nothing had happened. "That's right, you didn't say anything, but your actions said it all."
"Look at you, child, why are you trying to play riddles with me?"
Lin Xue pursed her lips. "Anyway, I don't know what you're talking about."
"you……"
Lin Mo let out a long sigh, glared angrily at Lin Xue, and vented his displeasure on the rice in his bowl.
Watching the two bicker, Lin Shu couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle, "I said you two are from different generations, how come you call me 'sister' and act like you're on the same level?"
"Sister, I'm not that much older than Xiao Mo."
Lin Xue tossed her hair. "I'm only twenty-eight this year, and Xiao Mo is eighteen, so I'm only ten years older. In terms of age, we're the same age, unlike Sister Shu, who's already forty, right?"
Lin Shu: "..."
If looks could kill, Lin Xue would have been killed a hundred and eight times over.
Age is always a sensitive topic for women!
"Xiaoxue, can you take a beating?"
Upon hearing this familiar phrase, Lin Mo and An Youyu, who were eating, both laughed.
Lin Xue smirked, "Sis, you can't beat me. I've started practicing martial arts."
Lin Shu's expression froze. "Mom, aren't you going to do anything about Lin Xue?"
Xu Yanshu served An Youyu a bowl of soup, then sat down again with a smile. "What do you care? What Xiaoxue said is the truth. Aren't you forty this year? Besides, she does practice martial arts. You can't beat her."
Lin Shu: "..."
have to.
Nobody's going to help her, is that it?
This made it impossible for her, who was used to being assertive, to swallow this insult.
"Xiao Mo!"
"cough--"
Lin Mo, who was eating heartily, was so startled by his mother's loud voice that he almost bit his tongue. He looked up with a pained expression and said, "Mom, Xue Jie upset you, so please don't take it out on me. If you really can't handle it, your son can beat Xue Jie up for you."
Lin Shu blushed, realizing her thoughts had been exposed, and vehemently denied it: "You're just talking nonsense, when did Mom say she was going to beat you?"
Lin Mo pursed his lips; he didn't believe a word his mother said.
Lin Xue glanced at Lin Mo and said, "Xiao Mo, if you want to get beaten up, just say so. You want to beat me up? Believe me or not, I'll beat you so badly you'll be running for your life."
"cough!"
Xu Yanshu glared at her, annoyed. "We're eating, why are you blurting out whatever comes to mind?"
Lin Xue looked aggrieved and immediately blamed Lin Mo, "It's all his fault. How can a junior talk to an elder like that? Mom, I was so angry with him that I lost my mind. Otherwise, I would never have said such a thing."
Lin Mo's lips twitched incessantly.
He had been wondering why he was so thick-skinned, but now he finally had the answer: there wasn't a single thin-skinned person in the Lin family.
Even Lin Xue, her adopted daughter, has a thick skin that most people can't match.
Lin Yi, playing the role of the good guy, smiled and spoke up to defuse the situation, saying, "Alright, alright, let's not say anything more and eat."
As soon as Lin Yi spoke, the group immediately became obedient and dared not say anything more.
After dinner, An Youyu was once again pulled upstairs by the elderly couple to chat.
As she went upstairs, An Youyu cast a pleading look at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo brazenly stood up and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I'll go up and chat with you too."
"Need not."
The two of them rejected Lin Mo in unison.
Lin Mo shrugged helplessly at An Youyu and mouthed four words to her, "I can't help you."
An Youyu hung her little head and resignedly followed the two elders upstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, Lin Shu and Lin Xue stared at each other, neither willing to concede.
Seeing that something was wrong, Lin Mo, who was sitting to the side, was about to slip away when he stood up and heard two voices at the same time.
"sit down!"
"..."
Lin Mo rolled his eyes, wanting to say something, but faced with the oppressive atmosphere of the two women, he didn't have the courage to speak.
In the end, he had no choice but to sit down obediently again. "Mom, Sister Xue, please don't do this, I... I'm a little creeped out."
"It's creepy?"
Lin Xue smiled knowingly, "Xiao Mo, since you put it that way, does that mean one of us, your mother or I, is scary? Then tell me, who is the scary one?"
Lin Shu glanced at her son. "That's right. Tell me, who's the scary one?"
Lin Mo was completely bewildered.
This kind of question...
Are you serious?
When gods fight, why is it that a mortal like him suffers?
Chapter 676 Mom, can I fight back?
"say!"
At this moment, Lin Shu and Lin Xue's tacit understanding reached its peak; they spoke at the same time, and even the words they said were the same.
This put Lin Mo in a difficult position. As the sole victim, he mustered up his courage and protested, "Mom, Sister Xue; how can you be such an elder? You're forcing me to offend people!"
Lin Xue nodded: "That's right, you understood it perfectly!"
Lin Shu nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's either her or me today. Tell me quickly, which of us makes you feel uneasy?"
"This one……"
Lin Mo swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and finally forced a smile and gave his answer, "Actually, both of you give me the creeps, neither of you is a good person!"
Lin Shu: "..."
Lin Xue: "..."
Not a single good thing?
The two were genuinely surprised by Lin Mo's answer and were momentarily stunned.
Lin Shu was the first to react, staring intently at her son with murderous intent, "Xiao Mo, is this how you describe your mother?"
Lin Mo spread his hands, looking utterly innocent. "Mom, you were the one who made me say it. See, you got angry again after I said it. Can't you handle this?"
Lin Xue laughed heartily, "Sister Shu, you're not a very good mother either. Your own son actually thinks you're not a good person. Tsk tsk, if I were a mother like you, I would be very ashamed."
Lin Shu sneered, "You're already twenty-eight and still a single dog. You might end up alone for the rest of your life."
"Pooh--"
Lin Xue was somewhat exasperated. "I have plenty of suitors. I'm just picky. In other words, I'm single now because I want to be single, not because I can't find anyone."
"Ah--"
Lin Shu looked around. "Where are you? Where are you? Who's chasing you?"
"you……"
Lin Xue glared at Lin Shu through gritted teeth. Judging from her eyes, Lin Mo had no doubt that the two would fight. He couldn't help but shrink back, silently got up, and held onto the sofa, ready to run away at any moment.
Lin Shu noticed her son's little trick immediately and said in a calm tone, "Xiao Mo, Mom isn't a good person, is she?"
Lin Mo coughed lightly, "Mom, you're not a thing at all, you're a human being. In your son's heart, you will always be the best mother in the world."
Lin Shu's face twitched slightly. "Why do your compliments sound like insults?"
Lin Xue, always eager for drama, added fuel to the fire, saying, "Sister Shu, you should always look at things from a different perspective. Maybe Xiao Mo just wants to take advantage of praising you to insult you?"
"Oh?"
