My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Haha."

Lin Mo's stiff smile made Xu Yanshu and Lin Xue unable to hold back any longer.

This family of three really knows how to have fun!

Lin Mo is afraid of Lin Shu, Lin Shu is afraid of An Youyu, but An Youyu listens to Lin Mo...

Xu Yanshu stopped laughing and turned to look at her youngest daughter, Lin Xue.

Noticing her mother's gaze, Lin Xue asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Xu Yanshu said, "Xiaoxue, I called your dad not long ago. He didn't tell me who was coming, he just told me to have someone prepare properly. Do you know who's coming to our house?"

Lin Shu was also curious about this question and chimed in, "Yeah, who's coming? I saw they even laid out a red carpet at the entrance. It's so formal, so it must be someone special."

Lin Xue chuckled, "It's a secret that can't be revealed."

Xu Yanshu chuckled, "Stop being silly, just tell me already, so I can be mentally prepared."

Lin Xue cleared her throat. "The guest's surname is Li, Li Hongxiang."

Upon hearing the name, Xu Yanshu was startled. "Li Hongxiang? Is it that Li Hongxiang?"

Lin Xue smiled, pursing her lips. "Which one?"

Xu Yanshu gave Lin Xue a look that made her instantly obedient, and she hurriedly nodded, "Yes, it's the Li Hongxiang you're thinking of."

Xu Yanshu quickly stood up. "I'll have someone prepare a few more dishes."

Lin Shu looked completely bewildered. "Li Hongxiang? Which Li Hongxiang? Xiaoxue, could you please explain in more detail?"

Lin Xue smiled smugly, "Want to know?"

Lin Shu nodded.

"Don't tell you."

"..."

Lin Shu's brows twitched violently. He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Lin Xue by the neck. "Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'll strangle you!"

Lin Xue stuck out her tongue, looking like she was being choked and couldn't breathe. She trembled as she raised her hand to An Youyu, pleading for help, "Yu'er, save me! Your future mother-in-law is going to kill me."

The term "future mother-in-law" instantly made An Youyu blush, and she quickly lowered her head, pretending she hadn't heard anything.

Lin Xue pleaded with Lin Mo for help again, "Xiao Mo, can you control your mother? If she strangles me to death, the thing you asked me to do will fall through."

The comical scene made Lin Mo burst into laughter. "Mom, stop fooling around."

Lin Shu glanced at her son casually, "Xiao Mo, are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Xiaoxue told you to manage me, and you actually dare to? Do you think your words carry any weight?"

Lin Mo rubbed his temples and turned his gaze to An Youyu. "Little Yu'er, make my mom let go."

"Oh."

Upon receiving Lin Mo's instruction, An Youyu immediately spoke up, "Auntie, could you please let go?"

After saying that, she blinked repeatedly, and her adorable appearance instantly captured Lin Shu's heart, causing him to unconsciously loosen his grip on Lin Xue's neck.

Seeing this, Lin Mo crossed his legs and raised an eyebrow in a very irritating way. "Mom, I can answer your question now. I think my words still carry weight. What do you think?"

Lin Shu looked down at her loosened hands, and seeing her son instructing the fish to do the same to her, she was so angry she almost had a crooked nose.

She gritted her teeth and threatened coldly, "Xiao Mo, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up for being so arrogant?"

Lin Mo shook his head calmly, "I'm not afraid."

Lin Shu was taken aback. "Why aren't you afraid?"

Lin Mo retorted, "I have Little Fish, why should I be afraid?"

"..."

Chapter 779 Chief of the Elders' Council, Li Hongxiang

"Good boy..."

Lin Shu rolled up her sleeves. "Xiao Mo, I'm going to show you with my actions today that even if Yu'er protects you, I'll still beat you up if I want to!"

"Auntie."

"Xiao Shu!"

Seeing Lin Shu's posture, An Youyu and Xu Yanshu called out to her at the same time.

Lin Shu was utterly speechless, her gaze sweeping across the two faces. "Seriously, are you both really on this brat's side?"

Xu Yanshu said matter-of-factly, "Nonsense, Xiao Mo is my grandson, who else would I side with if not him?"

"And what about you, little fish?"

Faced with Lin Shu's question, An Youyu blushed slightly and stammered, "Auntie, I... I'm Lin Mo's boyfriend, so I should side with him..."

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing the girl's response, Lin Mo burst into laughter.

If this little guy can say that, then it's worth getting a beating.

Hearing her son's laughter, Lin Shu, who was about to beat him up a second ago, burst out laughing herself.

An Youyu was quite surprised. "Auntie, is what Youyu said wrong? What are you laughing at?"

Lin Shu stopped laughing, her eyes filled with even more affection as she looked at the girl. "Yu'er, Auntie still remembers when I first met you. You didn't even have the courage to look at me. In less than a year, your personality has become more and more outgoing under Xiao Mo's influence. Not bad, really not bad."

Lin Mo seized the opportunity to claim credit, "Mom, this is ultimately my doing. I was a bit arrogant just now, but now that the credit and the blame have balanced out, please don't hold it against me, okay?"

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her son, "You're not a child anymore. Do you really think I'm still the same as before, ready to beat you up at the drop of a hat?"

"Then you..."

"This is just to test the fish."

An Youyu: "..."

How come this family has so many tricks up their sleeve?

Her name is An Youyu, but she's not actually a fish. Why keep her hanging on like this?

Seeing the reproach on An Youyu's face, Lin Shu smiled and admitted her mistake, "Auntie was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time. You mustn't be angry, Yu'er."

An Youyu pouted her lips. "I'm not angry, just a little depressed."

What's bothering you?

"The auntie isn't sincere; she's always digging holes for the baby fish."

"You made a mistake, but you'll do it again next time."

"..."

An Youyu's reproach deepened. She gently patted Lin Shu's hand and softly accused, "Auntie, why are you acting like Lin Mo? Is this how you apologize?"

Just then, Lin Mo interjected, "Little Fish, you can't wrong me. I learned all these shameless tricks from my mother. Like mother, like son."

Upon hearing the word "shameless," Lin Shu was speechless, her teeth practically grinding to powder. "Xiao Mo, don't go too far. What kind of son talks to his mother like that?"

Lin Mo gave an awkward smile and waved his hands repeatedly, "I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything."

Xu Yanshu and Lin Xue were both amused.

In the midst of the joyful atmosphere, Lin Mo's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly said, "The guests have arrived."

Upon hearing this, everyone except him looked completely bewildered.

Have the guests arrived?

where?

Lin Shu glared at her son. "Changing the subject was too abrupt. Even if you're going to imitate me, at least do it properly, okay?"

No sooner had he spoken than two figures entered the living room.

Lin Shu was instantly embarrassed.

Xu Yanshu got up and went forward, and the others followed behind.

An elderly man with gray hair walked side by side with Lin Yi. He had a kind face and looked to be over sixty years old.

Li Hongxiang, Chief Member of the Elders' Council.

When Lin Shu saw Li Hongxiang beside her father, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and she murmured in a daze, "So it was him..."

An Youyu's delicate body also trembled.

She had seen Li Hongxiang on television, but never imagined that she would meet such an important person in person. She became uncontrollably nervous.

Holding her hand, Lin Mo could clearly sense An Youyu's nervousness and gently comforted her, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."

The voice, half gentle and half magnetic, instantly calmed An Youyu's tense mood. She murmured an "Mmm" and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yanshu, who was walking at the front, bowed and greeted, "Good morning, Chief Li."

"Hello, Madam Xu."

Li Hongxiang smiled and nodded, saying politely, "I hope Madam Xu won't mind disturbing you so late?"

Xu Yanshu covered her mouth and laughed, "Chief Li is joking. Your presence is an honor to the Lin family."

After saying that, she nodded to her husband, "The food is ready."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Chief Li, how about we move to the restaurant and chat over a meal?"

"There's no rush to eat."

Li Hongxiang looked at Lin Mo and An Youyu standing behind Xu Yanshu, "Finally met these two big stars from the Lin family, tsk, they are such a perfect match."

Lin Mo pulled An Youyu forward two steps and bowed slightly, "Hello, Chief Li."

An Youyu didn't dare to look up, and weakly echoed, "Hello, Chief Li."

The sweet and soft voice put Li Hongxiang in a great mood. "Hello to you both. I came here specifically for the two of you big stars."

Upon hearing this, both Xu Yanshu and Lin Shu, who were unaware of the situation, were utterly astonished.
