My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Li Hongxiang waved his hand, "Don't thank me. If anyone should thank someone, it should be me thanking you."

The Xia Kingdom currently ranks thirteenth in the world in terms of national strength, but it possesses a vast territory. In terms of land area alone, the Xia Kingdom ranks first in the world.

Its strength is completely mismatched with its land area!

A country's land area is equivalent to its resources. Possessing so many resources despite lacking strength naturally attracts the covetous eyes of many powerful nations.

In recent years, many powerful countries have been eyeing the Xia Kingdom covetously, trying every means to cause trouble for it.

The Senate was deeply troubled by this, but couldn't think of a good way to break the deadlock.

The best way to break the deadlock is to improve one's own strength, but the key is that the world is too entertainment-oriented now, and there is a lack of basic talents in various fields.

As the saying goes, even a clever housewife can't cook without rice.

No matter what development plan the Senate sets out, the excessive focus on entertainment diminishes its effectiveness.

It is precisely because of this that the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking came into being.

On the one hand, we should develop scientific research, and on the other hand, we should curb its entertainment.

A two-pronged approach.

The plan is good, but the biggest problem is that it won't show results in the short term; it will take a long time to achieve initial success.

But what the Xia Kingdom needs most right now is precisely time...

At this moment, Lin Mo appeared with MY battery technology. If this patented technology were used in the military industry, it could enable Xia Guo to rapidly improve its strength in a very short period of time.

Just as Lin Mo said, the Elders' Council simply couldn't refuse the offer he made.

If Lin Mo can really develop three more major patents that are no less significant than MY battery technology within a year, let alone one Elder Council seat, even two or three, the Elder Council will agree without hesitation.

When Li Hongxiang said he wanted to thank Lin Mo, it wasn't just politeness; it was his true feeling.

Putting aside the performance-based agreement, let's just talk about MY's battery technology.

With this technology, at least the Xia Kingdom can overcome its current crisis.

"Chief Li is joking."

Lin Mo was the first to raise his glass. "It's been a pleasure working with you."

Li Hongxiang laughed heartily, raised his glass and clinked it with Lin Mo's, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yi, who was still in a daze, and said, "Brother Lin, what are you still standing there for? Let's drink!"

Lin Yi belatedly responded with an "oh".

Just as Lin Mo was about to drink, he saw An Youyu sitting upright and a smile appeared deep in his eyes. The next second, his wine glass appeared in front of An Youyu, and he said, mimicking what Li Hongxiang had just said, "Little Yu'er, what are you standing there for? Drink up."

"drink wine?"

An Youyu blinked blankly, "Um... I don't drink alcohol, can I not drink?"

Lin Mo leaned close to her earlobe, his tone seductive, "Little Fish, isn't the fact that your grandfather treasures this wine so much enough to demonstrate its value?"

"You're sure you don't want to drink this expensive wine?"

Chapter 781 Just kidding

"valuable?"

Upon hearing those two words, An Youyu's eyes lit up, and she murmured, "It seems so. If Grandpa treasures this wine so much, then it must be very valuable. Since it's valuable, then... it's not impossible for me to try it."

After she finished speaking, her face turned red uncontrollably.

The girl's change in attitude made Lin Mo chuckle to himself. "That's the right way to think. Come on, have a taste."

Actually, he had his own reasons for wanting An Youyu to drink this wine.

Smelling the wine, he keenly detected the aromas of many rare medicinal herbs within it.

This is such a good thing; drinking it will only do you good, not bad.

"when……"

The wine glasses clinked together.

An Youyu tilted her head back and blinked repeatedly.

Noticing her gaze, Lin Mo was taken aback. "Why aren't you drinking?"

An Youyu smiled shyly, "You drink first, I'll learn how to drink."

Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh. "What's there to learn? Just drink it like water. Don't you drink lemon water all the time? Just drink this wine the same way you drink lemon water."

"Is that so?"

Lin Mo dared to say it, and An Youyu dared to believe it. She picked up her wine glass, tossed her neck back, and downed the glass of wine in one gulp.

Lin Yi, sitting at the head of the table, stared wide-eyed at the straightforward way the wine was being drunk and quickly said, "Yu'er, you can't drink this wine like that..."

"Isn't that right?"

An Youyu put down her wine glass and blinked blankly.

Lin Yi opened his mouth, "No, nothing's wrong, it's fine to drink it like this."

An Youyu savored the taste of the wine in her mouth, raising an eyebrow slightly. "This wine... is so sweet, so delicious."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was overjoyed. "Since it's delicious, I'll have another one."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar and poured An Youyu another full cup.

Seeing his grandson's actions, Lin Yi wanted to stop him, but just as he was about to speak, he noticed the warning look in his wife's eyes.

Xu Yanshu said nothing, yet she said everything.

Having lived together for so many years, Lin Yi knew exactly what his wife meant. Looking at the wine in the girl's glass, his heart ached.

This wine...

But it's his precious baby!

An Youyu smiled sheepishly, secretly tugged at Lin Mo's clothes under the table, and whispered, "Don't pour it for me. Grandpa treasures this wine so much, I'll just have a taste."

Lin Mo disagreed with this statement and immediately retorted, "What kind of talk is that?"

His voice rose, "Little Fish, you're my girlfriend, my future granddaughter-in-law. Do you really think you're less important than a jar of wine in my heart?"

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Grandpa, do you know what Xiaoyuer just said to me?"

Lin Yi's lips twitched with difficulty. "What did you say?"

Lin Mo looked displeased. "Xiaoyuer just said that you can't drink this wine anymore, saying that it's your treasure and she's afraid you'll feel bad about it. Do you agree with that statement?"

Lin Yi: "..."

One sentence put him on a high pedestal; what can he say now?

That damn brat!

Seeing Lin Yi's sullen face, Li Hongxiang, who was enjoying the show, almost burst out laughing. He added, "Brother Lin, even if this wine is precious, in my opinion, your future granddaughter-in-law is more precious. Since this little girl likes to drink it, let her drink it. There's still half a jar left. How much can she drink?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Li Hongxiang suppressed a laugh and continued, "Lin Mo, do you think what I said is right?"

"Correct!"

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, then changed the subject: "Chief Li, my grandfather isn't that kind of stingy person. He's probably worried that Xiaoyuer will have trouble getting back to school if she's drunk."

Faced with the way out offered by his grandson, Lin Yi had no choice but to accept it. He nodded helplessly and agreed, "That's right, that's what I was thinking. Otherwise, I would have let Yu'er drink as much as she wanted."

"But she is still a student, and she cannot let her drinking affect her studies."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Lin Mo chimed in, a triumphant smile playing on his lips. “Grandpa, don’t worry. Before we came home today, Xiaoyuer and I discussed it and decided not to go back to school tonight. Besides, Xiaoyuer and I don’t have any credit restrictions in Xia Bei. We rarely go to class anyway, and we learn very little from the teachers. Going to class is a complete waste of time for us.”

"So, you're not worried that drinking will affect Xiaoyuer's studies? Since you're so generous, then tonight I'll accompany Xiaoyuer for a good drink. This is her first time drinking, so don't worry, I'll definitely keep her company."

Lin Yi: "..."

Did he mean it?

Obviously not!

"Wife."

If you're unsure what to do, ask your wife.

Xu Yanshu looked at the pleading in her husband's eyes and smiled, "Xiao Mo is right. Since Yu'er thinks it tastes good, let her drink to her heart's content. It's just a little wine, nothing worth the money."

Lin Xue nodded, "That's right."

Lin Shu forced a straight face, trying hard not to laugh out loud, "Dad, your daughter thinks so too."

Lin Yi: "..."

have to.

So, nobody in the family spoke up for him!

An Youyu wasn't stupid; she waved her little hand lightly, "I won't drink it anymore, I really won't drink it anymore."

Lin Yi's face flushed. "Yu'er, what do you mean by this? Do you also think that your grandfather is reluctant to let you drink this wine?"

"No, no."

An Youyu shook her head, on the verge of tears, and explained softly, "Grandpa, Youyu doesn't drink alcohol. I'm already a little dizzy, so I can't drink anymore."

Feeling a little dizzy?

Lin Mo held her shoulders and looked her over for a moment, then said, "I didn't realize, Little Fish. You wouldn't be saying this on purpose just to save Grandpa some wine, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was lifted up again.

At that moment, he really wanted to take his grandson to a secluded place and give him a good beating.

He wasn't stupid; he could easily see through his grandson's little scheme.

Ugh!

It seems this wine... is truly beyond saving!

That's all, that's all!
