My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Chapter 855 The same shamelessness!

"Thank you, Madam Lin. Enjoy your meal."

After standing there stunned for a few seconds, Li Qingqing quickly bowed and respectfully left the room.

As soon as she left, Xu Yanshu's smile deepened. "In-law, come on, let's have a drink first."

Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou immediately picked up their wine glasses and stood up. Seeing this, Xu Yanshu quickly smiled and stopped them, saying, "No need to be so formal. We're all family here. Just relax and sit down."

With a kind smile, he looked like an ordinary old man.

Neither Yan Shiming nor Xia Lingrou dared to treat Xu Yanshu as an ordinary old woman. Although they did not know much about Lin Mo's family situation, they had some guesses that it was an extremely terrifying and behemoth family.

As the conversation progressed, Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou became less reserved. They could see that Xu Yanshu truly treated them as in-laws, without a trace of arrogance, and even adopted a very humble attitude.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone present except Lin Mo and An Youyu, who hadn't been drinking, had a slightly flushed face.

Seeing that the conversation had gone on for a while, Lin Shu finally steered the conversation back on track, "What are your thoughts on Xiao Mo and Yu'er's engagement date?"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table put down their chopsticks and wine glasses.

Yan Shiming smiled politely, "Ms. Lin, before we came, Xia and I discussed it and we think it would be better for you to decide on the engagement date for Lin Mo and Youyu. We don't know much about this and we don't know what an auspicious day is."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu smiled enigmatically, “Otherwise, you are all teachers, you should know a little about the traditional etiquette of Xia Kingdom, I don’t believe you don’t.”

Yan Shiming chuckled, "Ms. Lin, there's no need to be so serious. The engagement of two children is a joyous occasion. Since it's a joyous occasion, what difference does it make who decides? As long as the two children have a good relationship, it doesn't matter what day they choose for the engagement. What do you think?"

Xia Lingrou nodded with a smile.

The two had already discussed it on their way to Yanyu Tower. The Lin family would be in charge of the engagement date, since they represented the woman's side and there was very little they needed to do. Instead, the man would be responsible for most of the arrangements.

Since that's the case, it would be better to let the Lin family decide when the engagement should take place, so that the timing can be arranged reasonably.

Seeing their attitude, Lin Shu's smile deepened. "Since you two put it that way, then I won't stand on ceremony any longer. As for the date, the sooner the better. How about the 12th of next month, the sixth day of the first lunar month?"

"So fast?"

Yan Shiming looked surprised.

Lin Shu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, in-laws. I've already had someone calculate it, and this date is a good auspicious day. Moreover, more than ten days is enough time for us to prepare. If you feel that the time is a bit tight, then we can postpone it."

Just as Yan Shiming was about to nod, his wife kicked him under the table.

He blinked blankly at his wife, completely unaware of what was going on.

Xia Lingrou pouted.

Yan Shiming followed his wife's gaze to the right and realized that Lin Mo was frantically winking at him.

A faint smile appeared on his lips. "Lin Mo, why are you blinking so fast? Did something dirty get in your eyes?"

One sentence made everyone present burst into laughter.

Even An Youyu, who was sitting next to Lin Mo, couldn't help but silently lower her head.

Lin Mo's face twitched, and he said bluntly, "Teacher Yan, I think it's good to get engaged on the sixth day of the first lunar month. There's no need to postpone it any longer. You and your wife don't need to prepare anything for the engagement. Just leave everything to my mother. You can bring Yu'er to the event."

Yan Shiming pursed his lips, "Are you in such a hurry? Besides, Youyu is inseparable from you these days, do we need to bring her along?"

Lin Mo chuckled, "It's only polite to say a few words, of course. I was just saying it casually, so just take it with a grain of salt."

Yan Shiming: "..."

That brat really dares to say that!

Lin Shu glared at her son, annoyed. "Xiao Mo, if you can't speak properly, then try to say less. What do you mean by polite words? According to etiquette, after the date is set, Yu'er should go home to live. You don't need to see each other before the engagement."

"what?"

Lin Mo and An Youyu both looked surprised.

There are still thirteen days until the sixth day of the first lunar month, which means the two of them will not see each other for thirteen days?

Neither Lin Mo nor An Youyu could accept this situation. After spending so much time together, they were each other's indispensable part of their lives. To not see each other for thirteen days... this was practically torture.

"cough…!"

Lin Mo's lips twitched. "Mom, I think..."

Before she could finish speaking, An Youyu's voice rang out, "Auntie, why can't I see Lin Mo after the engagement? There are still more than ten days until the sixth day of the first lunar month. It won't do if we don't see each other for so long."

As soon as the girl said these words, smiles appeared on the faces of those present to varying degrees.

Lin Shu couldn't stop smiling. "Yu'er, that's just how etiquette is. Auntie can't do anything about it. Of course, that's what we say on the surface. We can't watch you and Xiao Mo 24/7. If you secretly meet in private, there's nothing we can do."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu's eyes lit up instantly. "I'm fine now."

Lin Xue chuckled and bent down under the table.

No, I really can't hold it in anymore.

It has to be Sister Shu. Everyone else says one thing to your face and another behind your back, but she does it the other way around, saying one thing to your face and another to your face.

Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou exchanged a glance, both unable to suppress a smile.

Xu Yanshu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but roll her eyes at her eldest daughter and coughed, "Xiao Shu, I don't think you're very good at talking either, so you should say less."

Lin Shu: "..."

Why can't she speak?

Didn't she say it quite well?

Injustice!

Xu Yanshu smiled apologetically at Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou, "What do you two think of the sixth day of the first lunar month? If not, we can discuss it further."

Yan Shiming shook his head. "The sixth day of the first lunar month is a good date. I have no objection."

Xia Lingrou chimed in, "Madam Lin, I have no objection either. How about we set it for the sixth day of the first lunar month?"

Xu Yanshu smiled and nodded, "Since neither of you has any objections, let's set the engagement date for the two children on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Come on, let's have a drink and wish the two children a successful engagement."

As she raised her glass, the others followed suit.

The date was finalized on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

...

Early the next morning, Lin Mo brought An Youyu to No. 1555 Haibin Road, Jinshui District.

"Ding-dong-"

After pressing the doorbell, Lin Mo and An Youyu waited outside the villa gate. An Youyu looked around and said, "My mother-in-law's place is quite upscale."

Lin Mo smiled. "Little Fish, don't you want to ask your mother-in-law why she's been avoiding you all these years?"

"I want to ask."

An Youyu nodded, then a hint of helplessness appeared on her face. "But when I saw Grandma at the ruins last time, I already asked her, but she didn't give a specific answer. Since Grandma doesn't want to talk about it, she must have something she can't say."

Lin Mo nodded slightly and chuckled, "Actually, I'm also very curious. Ever since I learned that Grandma is an intelligent being, I've been even more eager to meet your parents. They should have already broken away from the existing social order. From my understanding, your parents are like terrestrial deities."

"Land gods?"

After hearing Lin Mo's words, An Youyu covered her mouth and laughed out loud. "Brother, it's not as exaggerated as you say. What kind of immortals are you talking about? My parents are just ordinary people."

"..."

Lin Mo's lips twitched, and he secretly rolled his eyes.

Even with things like this, what about ordinary people?

This little girl...

This is truly speechless!

“My little ancestor, can an ordinary person make you sleep for a thousand years? Can an ordinary person live for a thousand years? Judging from the information your mother-in-law gave you, your parents were people from before the Xia Dynasty. The ruins under the Northwest Desert were also your parents’ masterpiece. Moreover, I’m sure there are still many ruins like that that haven’t been discovered yet. This kind of achievement has absolutely nothing to do with the words ‘ordinary people’.”

"That seems to be the case..."

After thinking it over carefully, An Youyu nodded slightly. "Brother, now that you mention it, I really want to see Mom and Dad too. But I don't know where they are or when they will come back to see me."

Lin Mo ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "Didn't Grandma say last time that it won't be long before Dad and Mom come back?"

"Tsk, shameless."

Just as Lin Mo finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

The villa gate suddenly opened, and Lan Ying stood with her arms crossed, a smile on her face. "Young Lin, you and Yu'er's father are really alike, practically identical."

"is it?"

Lin Mo looked surprised. "Mother-in-law, does it also possess the talent and potential of a legendary figure?"

Lan Ying glanced at Lin Mo indifferently, "Wrong."

"what is that?"

"Equally shameless!"

"..."

Seeing Lin Mo's discomfiture, An Youyu quickly stepped forward and took Lan Ying's arm, "Grandma, don't say that about my brother, he's a very good person."

Hearing this, Lan Ying shook her head and commented again, "Fish, you and your mother are quite alike."

An Youyu pointed to her face, "Is Grandma referring to my appearance?"

"wrong."

"what is that?"

"Same love-struck mind!"

"..."

After a few words, Lan Ying silenced Lin Mo and An Youyu. Seeing that the two were silent, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "We just met not long ago, why are you here to see me?"

Lin Mo coughed lightly and gave An Youyu a look.

An Youyu pouted slightly, giving him an angry look, then smiled apologetically at Lan Ying, "Grandma, Youyu came to see you today because there is something important to tell you."

"important things?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Ying quickly looked An Youyu up and down, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. "Yu'er, aren't you not pregnant?"

An Youyu: "..."
