Chapter 10: Mo has drifted for half a lifetime, yet has never met a wise master

"Look at that pathetic look on your face. Liu Ruyan, isn't she just a bit prettier, with a better figure, a bit taller, and a bit more of a tease? Why are you acting like a cooked crab, blushing and all? Ugh, I despise you!"

In the afternoon, back at their workstations, Yuan Meng launched into a critique of Lin Mo. Perhaps it was because Lin Mo had never looked at her with the eyes of a man looking at a woman, which had clearly triggered the flat-chested girl.

"Uh, you can't blame me for that. It's not like I'm a lecher; it's just that when a flower is in full bloom, if I don't appreciate it, it would seem a bit unrefined," Lin Mo said, spreading his hands helplessly.

He couldn't help it; he was just a pure-hearted college graduate who had just left the newbie village. It would be strange if he didn't have any reaction to a top-tier succubus like her.

"You! Still! Saying! You're! Not! A! Lecher!" Yuan Meng said, enunciating every word and punching him with each one. She was clearly furious.

"Not only are you a lecher, but you're also greedy. I think you just don't want to work hard anymore. Have you forgotten who Liu Ruyan is? She’s had more abortions than you’ve eaten claypot rice, and you’re still blushing!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo immediately got defensive

"Bullshit!"

"I'm fucking—"

Seeing Yuan Meng about to go on a rampage again, Lin Mo quickly waved his hands: "No, listen to me, I think I saw her last night!"

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

Hearing this, Yuan Meng immediately put down her phone, looking very interested.

She had already sensed something when Liu Ruyan called earlier at the cold drink shop downstairs.

Lin Mo didn't hide anything. He recounted how he had dinner with his cousin last night, got drunk, and his cousin drove him home, during which someone seemed to have gotten in and held him in the backseat.

"You're saying you were drunk last night, and Liu Ruyan was holding you in the back of the car the whole way? You? Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo~~ You think you're worthy?" Yuan Meng's first reaction after hearing this was priceless.

Lin Mo:...

"Actually, I'm not entirely sure. I was so drunk I could barely open my eyes in the car, but just now downstairs, the voice on her phone was definitely my cousin's. I can be sure of that!

But Yuan Jie, what is your relationship with our President Liu? You seem very familiar, but it feels like you have some issues with her?"

Lin Mo gossiped in return. As for the inheriting the family business part, wasn't that obvious? If nothing else, could an average family afford a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra?

Moreover, Yuan Meng's outfit, from head to toe, clearly didn't belong to an average family. He was just curious about their relationship.

Hearing this, Yuan Meng took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and considered for a long while before saying: "Do you know what a 'child of someone else's family' is?"

"Got it!" Lin Mo made an OK gesture.

He understood that all too well. Many people had such a comparison object in their childhood—someone who was better than you in every way, and you were powerless to do anything about it.

But Yuan Meng's next sentence left him completely stunned.

"Not only that, but she also hooked my brother into being her simp!"

Lin Mo: "Ah?"

"So she really is the 'Ruyan' of the legends?"

"That's not it, it's just that my brother is a total simp!"

Lin Mo:...

Wasn't that the end of it? It was already unpleasant enough to be used as a comparison, but adding that her brother, who used to be good to her, had become the other person's simp and would even speak up for her—the buffs were fully stacked!

"I see, my condolences, Yuan Jie!"

"Glad you know. As my loyal lackey, you should know who to stand with now!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo cupped his fists: "Mo has drifted for half a lifetime, never meeting a wise master. If you do not abandon me, Mo is willing to—"

"Get lost! I treat you like a brother, and you want to stab me?"

Lin Mo:...

"Yuan Jie, we are beauties, can you be more ladylike? How will you find a partner in the future?"

"I'm going to be DINK (Double Income, No Kids) in the future, I'm never dating!" Yuan Meng said disdainfully, her tone firm and decisive.

Lin Mo was stunned: "Ah? Why? Do you like women?"

"What do you mean why? Can't I just not want to get fucked?"

Lin Mo: (；￣Д￣）

"No, although that's blunt, it's a bit too crude!"

"None of your business. Remember, from now on, stand with me. Liu Ruyan and I are mortal enemies! Did you hear me!" Yuan Meng threatened, raising her fist.

Lin Mo nodded. He wasn't an ungrateful person; he hadn't forgotten who stood up for him this morning. Yuan Meng was a person of loyalty, definitely his big brother, unlike that traitor Zhang Wei!

Time flew by, and soon it was time to get off work.

In the parking lot downstairs, Zhang Wei stopped Lin and Yuan, who were heading out to go online

"Good lad, you and President Liu... you're hiding things well. I even saw you two holding hands!

But that shouldn't be right. My nickname is the 'Triple Andy Lau,' the best among men. How come I never encounter such good fortune?"

Seeing Zhang Wei, Lin Mo immediately got angry: "You traitor, you dare to come back."

"Hey, don't say it so harshly. At worst, from now on, you can be Ji Bochang," Zhang Wei grinned, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed of his escape.

"You, you..." Lin Mo pointed at Zhang Wei, trembling with rage. He had never seen such a shameless person.

To be honest, Zhang Wei was a perfect representation of the current generation of young people.

If you say he's poor, he's eaten himself so fat; if you say he's rich, he's always moping about having no money; if you say he's lazy, he can be busy from morning till night; if you say he's stupid, he can still surf the web on a smartphone.

Simply put, as long as he's alive, he's just abstract!

Taking a few deep breaths, Lin Mo calmed himself down, telling himself not to compare his "abstractness" with such a talented player, and then said

"Forget it, let it be!"

Hearing this, Zhang Wei was overjoyed, patting his shoulder and laughing: "Hey, I knew you'd forgive me, good brother!"

Lin Mo slapped his hand away and said coldly: "You're overthinking it. It's just that my mom said, hanging out with idiots brings wealth!"

Zhang Wei:???

Yuan Meng: o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓

No wonder the three of them could become friends; they were definitely birds of a feather.

Just then, a pure black Mercedes pulled up to the three of them, and the window rolled down.

"Are you really not going to have dinner with me tonight?" Liu Ruyan said, smiling at Yuan Meng.

Liu Ruyan, sitting in the car, held the steering wheel with one hand and adjusted her sunglasses with the other. The seatbelt across her chest showcased her figure to the fullest.

( ) / ( )

It left both Zhang Wei and Lin Mo stunned.

"Not going, not interested!" Yuan Meng said coldly.

Liu Ruyan chuckled, then looked at Lin Mo: "How about you, Makoto Ito, want to get in?"

"Uh, no, no need!" Lin Mo felt Yuan Meng's gaze and quickly spoke up.

Liu Ruyan shook her head, then stepped on the gas and disappeared from the spot.

"Was the seatbelt nice to look at~" Once Liu Ruyan was gone, Yuan Meng said through gritted teeth to the two of them.

Lin Mo: "What seatbelt? That was clearly a wave-amplifier!"

Yuan Meng: (艹皿艹)

Zhang Wei: "What amplifier? You two explain it to me, I'm dying of curiosity! I was just looking at the car, it's so cool!"

The two:...
