My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

To slander someone to their face, and to act so confidently, it's infuriating!

"Little Fish, you..."

"I was wrong."

"..."

After making the slander, he promptly admitted his mistake.

This action left Lin Mo speechless.

He used to be the one controlling this girl, but now it's the other way around?

Seeing Lin Mo's blank expression, An Youyu smiled sweetly and took his hand. "Alright, people say that a prime minister's belly can hold a boat, right? You're a boy, don't stoop to the level of a weak woman, okay?"

"I……"

"Ok."

"..."

…………

It was a little after 7 p.m. at the Lin Family Manor.

After finishing his meal, Lin Mo went to his mother's room. An Youyu followed closely behind, like a little shadow, except this little shadow was rather cute.

"Knock Knock-"

"Come in."

Lin Mo turned and glanced at An Youyu. "Why are you standing so far away from me? Do I look scary?"

An Youyu shook her head. "This is called maintaining a safe distance."

Lin Mo smirked, "Fine, then please keep this safe distance from now on. If you dare to take even one step closer, I'll spank you until your butt is swollen!"

Upon hearing this, An Youyu quickly stepped forward, pushed open the door, and entered the room.

As soon as she entered, she started complaining, "Auntie, can you please do something about Lin Mo?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Shu closed the book in her hand, took off her glasses, and waved with a smile, "Yu'er, how did Xiao Mo bully you again? Come on, tell Auntie, and Auntie will help you get revenge."

Lin Mo walked in with a dark face. "Mom, don't listen to Xiaoyuer's nonsense. I didn't bully him at all."

"How not?"

An Youyu hid behind Lin Shu and argued, "Just now you said you would..."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "What are you going to do to me? Tell me, just say it."

An Youyu: "..."

How abominable!

"Auntie, can you help me beat him up?"

"it is good."

Lin Shu nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.

Lin Mo's expression was priceless. "No, Mom, are you my mom? Are you my biological mom? There has to be a reason for everything, right? Don't just beat me up all the time. I'm an adult now, not a child anymore."

Lin Shu glanced at him indifferently, "Xiao Mo, since you've said so, then I won't hide it anymore; actually, I'm not your biological mother. I remember it was a dark and windy night when I met you by a roadside trash can. You were fighting with a stray dog ​​for a bone..."

"Stop, stop!"

Lin Mo couldn't stand it anymore and complained, "Mom, you need to be more original when you're making up jokes! How many times have you told this joke?"

Lin Shu gently hugged An Youyu and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "If you're too lazy to think, why not use the ready-made jokes?"

An Youyu nestled in Lin Shu's arms and chuckled to herself.

Lin Mo rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, I have something important to discuss with you tonight."

Lin Shu retorted, "What important business could you possibly want to discuss with me?"

After saying that, she narrowed her eyes and tentatively guessed, "Xiao Mo, you didn't come to me to borrow money, did you? You said to your grandparents a while ago that you wouldn't sponge off them."

"It hasn't been that long, have you already forgotten what you said?"

"I haven't forgotten."

Lin Mo sat down at the foot of the bed. "Mom, do you really think that your son only ever asks you for money?"

Lin Shu smiled. "I don't want to comment on this. You should know the answer in your heart, shouldn't you?"

"cough--"

Lin Mo looked embarrassed.

In fact, ever since his mother confronted him, it seems that every time he talks to her about serious matters... it's to borrow money.

He said it was a loan, but he never paid it back.

"This time it's not about borrowing money."

"Tell me what's going on."

Lin Mo gathered his thoughts. "Are you currently in charge of an archaeological project?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu immediately frowned, looking at her son with surprise and suspicion. "How did you know about this? I don't think I told you, did I?"

Lin Mo truthfully admitted, "No."

"Then how did you know that?"

Seeing his mother's serious expression, Lin Mo smiled wryly, "Mom, why do you look at me like I'm being interrogated?"

Lin Shu's expression softened slightly. "Xiao Mo, this matter... is top secret. As far as I know, apart from the people involved in this project, there are definitely no more than ten people who know about it. How can I, as the person in charge of the project, not be nervous when you suddenly bring this up?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked surprised. "Top secret? Is it that serious?"

"of course."

Lin Shu said seriously, "Tell me quickly who told you this. If the other party is not qualified to know, I will notify my superiors to open an investigation into this matter."

"This one……"

To be honest, Lin Mo was frightened by his mother's words.

He was now unsure whether he should reveal Li Zhao and Ye Liu's names, fearing it might cause them trouble.

But on second thought, it seems quite reasonable that Li Zhao and Ye Liu, as masters of antiquities restoration, would know about an archaeological project.

Just as he remained silent, An Youyu spoke up to explain, "Auntie, you should be familiar with teachers Li Zhao and Ye Liu, right?"

Chapter 803 Forced to Change Plans

"Li Zhao? Ye Liu?"

"Of course I know them."

Lin Shu suddenly realized, and her expression gradually softened. "Xiao Mo, did Li Zhao and Ye Liu tell you about this? That's strange, why would they tell you this? Are they just bored?"

"Cough cough!"

An Youyu covered Lin Shu's mouth, "Auntie, you can't... talk like that, it's not right."

Lin Shu chuckled dryly, "Fish, Auntie didn't mean it."

Lin Mo, always eager for drama, chimed in, "If it wasn't intentional, then it must have been deliberate?"

For a moment, Lin Shu's mind didn't quite process it, and she nodded vigorously, "Yes, I did it on purpose."

The words had barely left her mouth when she realized something was wrong. Her icy gaze swept over her son, and she threatened through gritted teeth, "Xiao Mo, you deserve to die!"

Lin Mo smiled sheepishly, spread his hands, and looked quite innocent. "Mom, I didn't force you to say anything."

"you……"

Lin Shu glared angrily at her son, then turned to An Youyu in her arms and smiled apologetically, "Yu'er, Auntie will definitely pay attention in the future and be a civilized mother."

An Youyu blushed slightly, "Anyway, just be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

A hint of smugness shone deep in Lin Shu's eyes; her words just now had two layers of meaning.

Judging from the fish's reaction, she must have understood.

The key point is that she didn't refute anything.

Lin Shu cleared her throat and asked, "Xiao Mo, why are teachers Li Zhao and Ye Liu telling you this?"

Lin Mo didn't hide anything and revealed their purpose.

When Lin Shu learned of all this, he immediately burst out laughing, "These two guys... they really brought it on themselves!"

Lin Mo looked puzzled. "Mom, what do you mean by that?"

An Youyu tilted her head back, her eyes also filled with curiosity.

Lin Shu smiled softly, "The project I'm in charge of now wasn't initially approached by the higher-ups. They approached Li Zhao first, and after Li Zhao rejected me, they approached Ye Liu, who also rejected me. Finally, they approached me."

Lin Mo was even more puzzled, "Strange, if the two teachers had already refused before, why are they doing it again now..."

Lin Shu's smile deepened. "The reason these two changed their minds is because the excavation of this project uncovered something different, so they regretted it."

Lin Mo wasn't interested in archaeology and didn't delve into it. "Mom, I've conveyed what the two teachers said. It's up to you to decide."

"Let them come."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Shu made a decision: "The project is short-handed. These two are masters at least. With their help, the archaeological progress can be accelerated a lot."

"that……"

An Youyu timidly raised her hand, looking a little embarrassed, "Auntie, can I participate?"

After saying that, she felt that her request was excessive. Lin Shu had already said that this project was top secret, so how could she let anyone participate in it casually?

Before Lin Shu could answer, she quickly shook her head, "Auntie, I was just joking, please pretend you didn't hear anything."

The girl's self-answering behavior made Lin Shu chuckle to himself, "Fish, do you want to participate?"

An Youyu's eyes widened, her tone uncertain, "W-Is it okay?"
