Lin Mo earnestly advised, "Besides, your mother-in-law may not have been serious when she made that agreement with you. You're a perfectly normal girl, and it's perfectly normal for you to fall in love with the right person."

"Even if your mother-in-law were still alive, she couldn't just stand by and watch you grow old alone, could she?"

What he said makes sense.

An Youyu couldn't think of a point to refute, and hesitated before saying, "That's true, but..."

"But what?"

"But I did promise my mother-in-law."

"..."

An Youyu's thought process was something Lin Mo really couldn't keep up with.

Everyone else says "because of this," but she says "because of that."

Noticing Lin Mo's helpless expression, An Youyu smiled apologetically, took out her small hand from her sleeve, and shook Lin Mo's left hand. "Don't be upset. You said it yourself, dating and being in a relationship are the same thing. Since it's the same thing, why do you have to worry about it?"

This roundabout tactic, combined with coquetry, really amused Lin Mo. "I really can't do anything with you. Fine, let's date if we want, it's okay if we don't."

"that is!"

An Youyu nodded in deep agreement, then suddenly remembered a sentence she had seen online and blurted it out, "Even dogs wouldn't talk about love."

Lin Mo: "..."

You can tell from that kind of talk that they must have learned it online.

He flicked her forehead in annoyance, "I told you to spend less time online, but you wouldn't listen. You just spout this kind of nonsense all the time. I really want to pin you down on my lap and spank you hard!"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's last words, An Youyu's face flushed red visibly. She glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, and spat out a low "Pah!" "What? You're not allowed to hit me like that anymore... that's..."

"What category does it belong to?"

"This constitutes...domestic violence! Yes, it's domestic violence!"

An Youyu tried very hard to look fierce, her tone indignant: "Domestic violence is illegal. Believe me or not, I'll report you to the Public Security Bureau and have you arrested."

"Scared me."

Lin Mo clicked his tongue twice, staring at her with a half-smile, "You're getting bolder and bolder now, even going so far as to report me to the Public Security Bureau to have me arrested. If we get married, won't you be riding roughshod over me?"

"No, no, I'm not dating this guy anymore. I want to find another girl, a well-behaved and obedient girl."

"you dare!"

An Youyu immediately panicked and grabbed Lin Mo's arm tightly, "You can't just end a relationship like that! If you're going to be together, you have to see it through!"

"At worst... I'll just be more obedient from now on."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Mo threw his head back and laughed, "Little Fish, you said it yourself, you can't go back on your word."

Seeing Lin Mo's expression, An Youyu immediately realized what was going on, "You've tricked me again!"

Lin Mo shrugged. "Never mind whether I'm cheating or not, just tell me what you just said. Did I hold a knife to your throat and force you to say it?"

"I……"

An Youyu opened her mouth, but knowing she was in the wrong, she had no choice but to accept the fact. "Being obedient is not difficult. As long as you don't bully people, Youyu is very obedient."

Hearing this, Lin Mo laughed even louder. When the laughter stopped, he leaned down and whispered in the girl's earlobe, his magnetic voice carrying a hint of teasing, "Little Fish, actually, I really liked what you just said."

An Youyu's mind didn't quite process it at first, her little face full of question marks, "What do you mean?"

Domestic violence.

After saying those two words, Lin Mo smiled from the bottom of his heart, "I really like this description."

An Youyu pondered carefully and finally understood the deeper meaning behind Lin Mo's words. Her already flushed face instantly turned even redder, becoming an incredibly stunning embellishment in the icy and snowy landscape.

Luckily, no one was around, otherwise she would have wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

Full of shyness, she pulled Lin Mo toward Building 4, saying, "I want to read a book, so don't tease me anymore."

Lin Mo rubbed her head, his smile never fading.

After working at the Cuttlefish Library for an hour, Lin Mo received a call from Principal Ke Renyi, asking him to come to his office.

He put away the phone, stood up, and asked An Youyu, who was reading a book, "Little Yu'er, the principal wants me to go to his office. Do you want to come along?"

An Youyu gently shook her head, picked up the ancient book in front of her, and explained, "You can go, I'm going to finish reading this book today."

"Row."

Lin Mo didn't insist and closed the door behind him when he left.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the principal's office. Before he could even knock, he heard Ke Renyi and Cao Lian talking inside.

"Knock Knock-"

As soon as the knock sounded, the conversation in the office stopped abruptly. The next second, Ke Renyi's voice rang out, "Come in."

Lin Mo pushed open the door and entered, nodding to Cao Lian on the sofa to greet him before asking Ke Renyi, "Principal, what can I do for you?"

Ke Renyi didn't say anything directly, but gestured for Lin Mo to sit down first.

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down on the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then frowned. "Principal, your tea isn't very good quality. I'll get you some better tea from my grandfather another day."

"Good lad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. It's a deal, you can't go back on your word."

After saying that, Ke Renyi began to mock Cao Lian, "See? You should learn more from Lin Mo. He knows to get me some good tea. And look at you, you've been with me for so many years, when are you going to get me some good tea as a token of your respect?"

Cao Lian looked miserable, gave Lin Mo an extremely resentful look, and replied in a pitiful tone, "Principal, can I compare to Lin Mo?"

"We're all human, why can't we compare?"

"People are different."

Cao Lian's face twitched. "What are Lin Mo's conditions? What are my conditions? Principal, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're asking a poor working-class person like me to be your servant? Isn't that bullying? How can you say something so shameless?"

Ke Renyi: "..."

Is it really this easy to complain now?

Do not!

Cao Lian's words went beyond mere criticism; they could easily be considered an insult!

Having figured this out, Ke Renyi glared and said, "Director Cao, you've really changed since you started dating. Even your voice has become so assertive. Impressive!"

"cough--"

Cao Lian chuckled dryly, "Principal, let's not talk about me for now, let's get down to business."

Ke Renyi glared at Cao Lian before turning his attention to Lin Mo. He picked up the teapot and got up to refill Lin Mo's cup of tea. "The quality isn't high, but it'll do."

Lin Mo quickly stood up and snatched the teapot from Ke Renyi's hand. "Principal, you're making me feel bad. I can do it, I can do it."

Ke Renyi looked surprised. "Oh, you've become so polite after just a few days?"

Lin Mo chuckled and replied, "Look at what you're saying. I've always been a model student who is polite and well-mannered."

Upon hearing this, Ke Renyi and Cao Lian exchanged a glance and both curled their lip in disapproval.

Be civilized and polite?

A model youth?

Do these words have anything to do with Lin Mo?

This kid...

Shameless!

Lin Mo took the initiative to ask, "Principal, what is it you wanted to see me about?"

Ke Renyi coughed, cleared his throat, and sat up straighter. "Lin Mo, things have been a bit off lately on social media. Your account has been getting more and more haters. You should know about this, right?"

"know."

"Then why don't you post an update to clarify?"

Hearing Ke Renyi's words, Lin Mo was about to explain when Cao Lian interrupted him, "That's right, you should post an update to explain, publish your college entrance examination scores and rankings, then those people who are criticizing you won't be able to say you're a fake academic genius anymore."

Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry. After Cao Lian finished speaking, he revealed his true intentions: "We can't post any updates yet. The principal and Director Cao should know that I signed with Shuangmu Entertainment, not Guowen Entertainment. The company wants to take advantage of this online trend of academic superstars."

Ke Renyi and Cao Lian were both intelligent people, and they understood instantly without Lin Mo explaining how it worked.

Ke Renyi slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, how come I didn't think of that? When your haters are cursing you the most, release your college entrance exam results. That way, you'll definitely attract a lot of casual fans."

Lin Mo nodded with a smile, "That's right. The company thinks so too, so they specifically told me not to update my account to explain this matter. Let the haters curse if they want. In the end, it will still bring traffic to my account. I guess those haters will be furious."

The thought of countless haters breaking down in front of their phone screens filled Lin Mo with anticipation.

Ke Renyi stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Very good, very good."

"I used to think that Shuangmu Entertainment was unreliable. After all, it had no reputation and it publicly announced that it had frozen nearly a hundred artists. To be honest, when I saw this news online, I wanted to call you and persuade you and An Ya to terminate your contract with Shuangmu Entertainment. This entertainment company is just too reckless."

"It seems that Shuangmu Entertainment is treating you quite well now, but the issue of future resources is a problem. This kind of little-known company probably doesn't have any particularly good resources."

At this point, he patted the coffee table, "But don't worry too much. I, the principal, still have some connections. I'll try my best to secure some resources for you and An in the future."

After hearing Ke Renyi's evaluation of Shuangmu Entertainment, Lin Mo's expression became extremely strange.

He wanted to explain, but didn't know where to begin, so he could only smile and nod, "Thank you, Principal."

Just then, Cao Lian spoke up again and asked, "Lin Mo, why did you choose Shuangmu Entertainment, a small company with no reputation at all, instead of Guowen Entertainment, which was perfectly good?"

Lin Mo clicked his tongue. "Does fame... matter?"

Chapter 737 Showdown: I'm the Joker!

Does fame matter?

Ke Renyi and Cao Lian exchanged a glance and answered in unison, "Of course it's important!"

Seeing how loud the two were, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh. "Principal, Director Cao, the company's reputation isn't important; what's important is suitability."

Ke Renyi and Cao Lian simply couldn't understand Lin Mo's statement.

"suitable?"

Ke Renyi rolled his eyes. "Do you think this is about finding a girlfriend?"
