My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

How should I tell the fish about this?

After much thought, only one word came to mind.

worry……

Chapter 768 Heavy Academic Burden

Around 1 a.m., Lin Mo was woken up by his phone ringing. Still half asleep, he fumbled for the phone on his bedside table, answered it, and put it to his ear. "Who is it? Don't they know it's immoral to call people in the middle of the night?"

After grumbling and cursing for a long time, Lin Mo finally stopped, satisfied.

The next second, her mother's voice came from the phone.

"Xiao Mo, get up for a moment and come to the rooftop balcony."

In an instant, the lingering sleepiness in Lin Mo's mind vanished. Just as he was about to explain something, the phone was hung up.

He got out of bed with a pained expression and quickly got dressed.

Two minutes later, Lin Mo appeared on the rooftop balcony and immediately noticed his mother reclining in a beanbag chair, enjoying the cool breeze. He quickly stepped forward and said first, "Mom, I didn't know it was you just now, I'm sorry."

Lin Shu didn't pay any attention and pointed to the beanbag chair a meter away, "Sit down, there's something I want to talk to you about."

The cold wind lashed at Lin Mo's face like knives. He took off his down jacket and draped it over his mother, then squatted down in front of her and said with a smile, "It's too cold outside. Why don't we go down to the living room to chat?"

Lin Shu glanced at her clothes and smiled with satisfaction. "Good, you know how to care for people now. Dating makes all the difference."

Lin Mo looked resentful. "Look at what you're saying. It's as if I was very immature before."

Upon hearing this, a subtle look of displeasure flashed across Lin Shu's face.

indeed!

Her son has been very sensible since he was a child, while she, the mother, is more unruly. In comparison, it should be the son who scolds her.

"Okay, let's talk on the first floor."

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the living room on the first floor.

After Lin Mo sat down opposite her, Lin Shu raised an eyebrow, got up, walked around the coffee table, and sat down next to her son. "Why are you sitting so far away from me? Is Mom that scary?"

Lin Mo grinned and put his arm around his mother's shoulder. "How could that be? In your son's heart, you are the most beautiful woman in the world."

Lin Shu was amused, "I am the most beautiful woman in the world, where do you put the fish?"

Lin Mo coughed lightly, "Xiao Yu'er isn't in the rankings; she's too good-looking."

Lin Shu's smile deepened. "So, you still think Mom isn't as pretty as Yu'er?"

Lin Mo's expression was bitter. "One is my biological mother, and the other is the girl I like. How am I supposed to rank them? No way, how about you and Xiaoyuer are tied for first place?"

Lin Shu chuckled, "Just kidding. I don't have the courage to be ranked first alongside Yu'er, even with the halo of being her mother. She is indeed quite beautiful."

Hearing his mother's words, Lin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Mom, is there something important that you're looking for your son so late?"

Lin Shu's smile vanished quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she became frowning.

Seeing this, Lin Mo gently patted his mother's shoulder and asked softly, "Mom, what's wrong? Tell your son what's bothering you."

"Little Mo."

"Ok?"

"Tonight I talked to Yu'er about the engagement, and guess what she said?"

"got engaged?"

Lin Mo's expression tightened, and he asked urgently, "What did she say?"

Lin Shu frowned even more deeply. "Xiao Yu'er is not against the engagement. She said that engagement is fine, but we must first get Dean Zhou's consent. The reason I'm worried is that I don't know how to tell Yu'er about Dean Zhou's passing. Do you have any good ideas?"

After his mother finished speaking, Lin Mo smiled bitterly, "Mom, there's no good way to deal with this. It's inevitable that Xiaoyuer will be sad when she hears this news, and I don't know what to do either."

Lin Shu sighed deeply.

Yes!

How could there possibly be a good solution to something like this?

"Xiao Mo, when are you going to tell Yu'er about Dean Zhou's passing?"

"Winter break, I guess."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and said, "In another month, the school will be out for the holidays. Xiaoyuer will definitely be going back to Jingchuan for the New Year. Even if we want to hide it, we won't be able to. I plan to tell Xiaoyuer the truth as soon as we get back to Jingchuan."

Lin Shu rubbed her temples, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Xiao Mo, do you think Yu'er will be able to handle this news?

"This one……"

Lin Mo opened his mouth, but then he thought of the scene when An Youyu learned of Zhou Yuqin's death, and felt a pang of pity.

Poor little thing!

The mother and son remained silent for a long time before Lin Mo finally broke the silence, "Mom, whether Xiaoyuer can handle it or not, I will stay by her side."

"Whether it's a long pain or a short pain, it will hurt eventually. There's nothing we can do about it. As the saying goes, there's always a way out. Let's not worry too much. What do you think?"

Lin Shu nodded slightly, "That's true."

After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about this, after you and Yu'er have your winter vacation, I'll invite your grandparents and Xiaoxue, and our whole family will go to Jingchuan for the New Year. It'll be more lively with more people, and this way Yu'er can get out of the shadow of Dean Zhou's death sooner. What do you think?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Is that alright?"

"What do you mean by 'maybe'?"

Lin Shu's tone was very certain, "Anything that's good for the fish is definitely possible!"

Lin Mo felt a warmth in her heart. "Mom, thank you for being so good to the fish."

"Do you need to thank me?"

Lin Shu nudged her son's shoulder and said with a laugh, "You're really something. It's only natural for me to care for my daughter-in-law. I can't say anything else, but at least in terms of the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship, I will absolutely not cause you any harm."

Lin Mo smiled knowingly, looking at her mother's tired face with tenderness in her eyes, "Then let's say that, Mom. It's getting late, and you must be exhausted from being out here all this time. Go back and rest."

Lin Shu felt a warm current flow through her heart at her son's concerned gaze. She half-jokingly said, "I'm not very good at finding men, but I'm excellent at raising sons. My eldest son, I really like you more and more these days."

Lin Mo choked back a question without showing any emotion, "So, you didn't like our son before?"

"cough--"

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her son and complained in a low voice, "Why do you always have such a sharp tongue?"

Lin Mo shrugged. "Mom, it's not that I like to be sarcastic, it's just that you used the wrong words. Please be more careful in the future."

Lin Shu chuckled, "Well, you've even started teaching me how to do things, huh? Alright, since you were quite considerate tonight, I won't hold it against you."

Here, take your clothes back.

Lin Mo took the clothes his mother handed him and watched her go upstairs. When he was the only one left in the living room on the first floor, he couldn't help but sigh.

Despite his calm demeanor in front of his mother, he honestly hadn't figured out how to tell An Youyu the news of Dean Zhou's passing.

this matter……

Hard to do!

The night passed, and a little after six o'clock the next morning, Lin Mo, who had been exercising in the training ground for an hour, was drenched in sweat and was about to stop and rest for a while when he noticed Lin Xue suddenly appearing.

He stopped throwing a punch, wiped the sweat from his brow with the towel around his neck, and walked forward with a smile. "Sister Xue, you're here to practice martial arts too?"

Lin Xue smiled and retorted, "This is your home, that's true, but it's also my home. You can use the training ground, and so can I. Is there a problem with me coming here?"

Lin Mo shook his head and chuckled, "Sis, it's so early in the morning, can you please not be so hostile?"

Lin Xue snorted irritably and asked coldly, "By the way, you lost the bet before. When are you going to start taking over the family's work?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo instantly felt a headache coming on, and pleaded with a bitter face, "Sister, I did lose the bet, but..."

"but what?"

Upon hearing the word 'but', Lin Xue stared at Lin Mo with a wary expression.

"Xiao Mo, are you trying to renege on your promise?"

"No cheating, absolutely no cheating."

Lin Mo hurriedly waved his hand, "A man's word is his bond."

Seeing Lin Mo's words, the wariness on Lin Xue's face gradually subsided. "Since you're not planning to renege, what were you trying to say just now?"

Lin Mo coughed lightly, "Sis, the reason you made that bet with me was to reduce your workload and have more free time, right?"

"Correct!"

Lin Xue didn't try to hide it and openly admitted it.

She made the bet with Lin Mo with this very purpose in mind.

Lin Mo first gave an apologetic smile, then changed the subject: "Sis, you know I'm a freshman in college now, and my studies are very demanding..."

"Stop!"

Lin Xue immediately stopped them, her expression one of utter disbelief. "Xiao Mo, do you really think I'm that easy to fool?"

"Don't think I don't know how you're treated at Xiabei. You don't have any credit restrictions at all. I even know that you haven't been to the classroom this semester except for the first professional class. You call that a heavy workload?"

Finally, she couldn't help but add, "Have you no shame?"

Chapter 769 Hiring a Substitute

"cough--"

Lin Mosheng sighed helplessly, "Sister, why did you investigate me so thoroughly?"

"What else could I do? Of course, it's to prevent you from scamming me!"

"..."

Left with no other choice, Lin Mo smiled ingratiatingly, "Sister, please let me finish what I have to say. It's definitely not what you think."

"Not what I thought?"

Lin Xue circled around Lin Mo, her face full of disbelief. "Xiao Mo, can you at least use some sophisticated methods when you're trying to lie? I'm not a fish, I'm not that easy to fool."
