Lin Mo had anticipated her grandmother's question and replied with a smile, "It depends on who you're comparing yourself to."
"Compared to Lin Xue."
"Compared to Sister Xue, my martial arts talent is indeed outstanding."
As he spoke, Lin Mo glanced at Lin Xue and said with a forced smile, "Actually, my martial arts talent is just average, but it's no wonder that Sister Xue's martial arts talent is so poor. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Compared with Sister Xue, my average talent naturally becomes outstanding."
Lin Xue slammed her hand on the dining table. "Xiao Mo, you're dead!"
Xu Yanshu glared at her youngest daughter, annoyed, and scolded, "How old are you? Can't you even take a joke?"
"mom!"
Lin Xue pointed at Lin Mo opposite her with a wronged expression, "How can he joke like that? His martial arts talent has nothing to do with the word 'average' at all. He practiced martial arts for a month, but his strength far surpasses mine. Is that what you call average? He's just deliberately using this to smear me. Don't be fooled by him."
Lin Mo continued, "Grandma, everything I just said is true. Don't listen to Sister Xue's nonsense. She just doesn't want to admit that her martial arts talent is too poor."
Both of them were right, and Xu Yanshu had no choice but to turn her gaze to An Youyu, who had not spoken a word.
"Fish, what do you think of Xiao Mo's talent in martial arts?"
For a moment, Lin Mo and Lin Xue both looked at An Youyu.
Seeing everyone staring at her, An Youyu couldn't help but stand up, blinking innocently in her eyes.
"grandmother……"
At the critical moment, fearing that the girl might say the wrong thing, Lin Mo couldn't help but cough, his tone full of reminder.
"Little fish."
"Ok?"
“Be careful what you say and do!”
Chapter 766 You're Not Involved
Be careful with your words and actions?
Upon hearing these four words, An Youyu looked bewildered and repeated uncertainly, "Be careful with your words and actions?"
Lin Mo was about to speak when Lin Xue couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up first: "So you're openly using secret signals, aren't you? Mom, are you sure you're not going to do anything about it?"
Xu Yanshu glanced at her grandson, "Xiao Mo, don't say anything for now."
After saying that, she looked at the girl with a kind smile, "Fish, don't worry about Xiao Mo, just answer Grandma's question truthfully."
An Youyu poked her chin with her little finger, and after thinking seriously for a while, she said, "Actually, I don't know much about so-called martial arts talent, so I can't be sure whether Lin Mo's martial arts talent is good or bad."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo, whose heart had been in his throat, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He is afraid!
He was afraid the girl would betray him.
Judging from the outcome, it seems his usual doting on this girl wasn't for nothing; she was still useful in a crucial moment...
"but……"
An Youyu's voice rang out again, and Lin Mo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, tensed up again instantly.
Xu Yanshu pressed further, "But what?"
An Youyu's eyes were calm. "Master once said that Lin Mo is very good at cultivating spiritual energy. As the former number one on the Red List, how could Master recognize him? Lin Mo's martial arts talent should not be considered bad."
For a moment, Lin Mo's expression was incredibly interesting.
have to.
It's over!
This little thing actually betrayed him!
Lin Xue beamed with delight, glanced triumphantly at Lin Mo, and then immediately began to complain, "Mom, now that Yu'er has said this, you know who you should believe, right?"
"Oh, I see."
Xu Yanshu's nod instantly made Lin Mo want to run away.
After all, in his understanding, none of the women in the Lin family were easy to mess with. Now, not only had he offended Lin Xue, but even his grandmother had sided with Lin Xue. If he didn't run away, he would be in big trouble.
Before he could even get up, Xu Yanshu's voice rang out again, "I believe in Xiao Mo."
One sentence left Lin Mo stunned and Lin Xue speechless.
Seeing the two's hilarious expressions, Xu Yanshu burst into laughter, "Alright, alright, we're all family, what's all the arguing about?"
Lin Xue looked resentful. "Mom, your favoritism is way too obvious!"
“Xiaoxue, my grandson has finally come home. It’s not normal for me, as his grandmother, to show him some favoritism. As an elder, you shouldn’t take it personally.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo immediately began to flatter, "Grandma is wise."
Xu Yanshu smiled and said, "You child... Sigh, don't upset Xiaoxue anymore. I'll just side with you this time. From now on, I'll side with whoever is in the right."
Lin Mo smiled sheepishly, nodded quickly, and gave Lin Xue a forced smile, "Sister Xue, my mom will be home in about twenty minutes."
"Don't talk to me, I don't want to talk to you."
"I was wrong."
Lin Mo's sincere apology eased Lin Xue's depressed mood. Pointing at An Youyu, she demanded, "Let Yu'er sleep with me tonight, or I won't forgive you."
"OK!"
Lin Mo nodded in agreement without hesitation.
An Youyu looked completely bewildered. She first looked at Lin Mo, then at Lin Xue, and finally weakly raised her hand, "Um... could you ask my opinion before we go to bed?"
Lin Xue clutched her chest. "Yu'er, your man has hurt your sister so badly. Aren't you going to compensate her?"
"Sister Xue, it's not what you think."
An Youyu blushed deeply and explained in a barely audible voice, "Auntie has been gone for so long, I'm going to sleep with her tonight."
"It doesn't affect it."
Lin Xue raised her hand, "Let's sleep together."
An Youyu thought about it seriously and nodded, "It's not impossible."
Xu Yanshu chuckled to herself, feeling a mix of emotions at the harmonious scene before her.
Over the past twenty years, she had fantasized about this scene countless times, even dreaming about it. But every time she woke up, her personality prevented her from having the nerve to ask her eldest daughter to come home.
Now think about it...
Sigh, why do you have to be so serious!
If she had swallowed her pride sooner, she could have enjoyed this happiness sooner.
A dozen minutes later, Lin Shu walked into the restaurant, looking travel-worn. She carried a wooden box and approached her mother, bowing respectfully. "Mom, I'm back."
What kind of etiquette should a family perform?
Xu Yanshu smiled with relief and pulled out a stool next to her. "Sit down and rest for a while. Xiaoxue, tell the kitchen to serve the dishes."
"okay."
Lin Xue pressed a button on the dining table, and in less than a minute, a group of maids pushed a food cart in.
After all the dishes were served, the group ate and chatted.
Xu Yanshu looked at the wooden box next to her eldest daughter's right and couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoshu, what's in this wooden box?"
Lin Shu put down her chopsticks and smiled meaningfully, "This is a gift for Xiaoyuer."
"Gift?"
An Youyu and Lin Mo exchanged a glance, and the same guess came to mind.
Could it be...
Lin Xue asked, "Sister, is it only the fish who got a gift? Mom and I didn't?"
Lin Shu smiled wryly, "Xiaoxue, you know what I've been up to. I came back in such a hurry, how could I have had time to prepare gifts for you and Mom?"
"You don't have time to prepare gifts for me and my mom, but you have time to prepare gifts for the fish?"
"Different."
Lin Shu opened the wooden box, inside which was the jade cup that Lin Mo and An Youyu had seen in the imperial tomb earlier that day. She took out the jade cup and handed it to An Youyu, while also giving an explanation.
“When I came back during the day, I received a call from Xiao Mo in the car. He and Yu’er went to Emperor Mountain, right? This jade cup is an exhibit in the Emperor’s Tomb. Xiao Mo said that Yu’er is very interested in this jade cup.”
"Coincidentally, this jade cup belongs to my studio. Since I needed to report the excavation to the Bureau of Antiquities as soon as I got back, I had someone send the jade cup to the Bureau of Antiquities in advance. After I finished reporting the situation, I brought it back along the way."
After saying this, Lin Shu got up and put a piece of meat on Lin Xue's plate. "I will definitely prepare gifts for you and Mom tomorrow. Don't complain, okay?"
The final "good boy" made the people at the table laugh.
Lin Xue blushed, "Sis, so you're treating me like a child, aren't you?"
Lin Shu laughed and retorted, "In front of me, aren't you just a child? You're only ten years older than Xiao Mo and Yu'er, and Xiao Mo and Yu'er are already dating, but you haven't found a boyfriend yet. What else could you be but a child?"
Lin Xue clutched her chest. "Sis, are you doing this on purpose? Do you think I want to be unable to find a boyfriend? It's just that my time hasn't come yet, how can you blame me?"
"If you don't blame me, who do you blame?"
Lin Shu rolled her eyes. "While I was away from home, Mom called me almost every day, always complaining that you can't find a boyfriend. You're already twenty-eight this year, can't you step up your game and make Mom hold your child before you turn thirty?"
"I……"
"Can you?"
"..."
Lin Xue was speechless.
Can?
Most likely... no!
"Mom, please stop talking about these things with Sister Shu all the time, okay? I'm begging you."
"It's all because you're useless."
