Chapter 1064 Inheritance
"Hey, that family wasn't anything special to begin with. The Gao family knows what to do. But Xiao Mo, you've become famous now. But that's fine too. Although the process wasn't pretty, at least people around us know about your relationship with our family. It's like an official announcement," Ms. Cheng said with a smile, taking an elegant sip of tea while sitting on the sofa.
Upon hearing this, the three young people were speechless for a moment, and Liu Ruyan even complained, "Mom, do you even know what an official announcement means?"
"Nonsense, what don't I know? Don't let my age fool you, I'm still young at heart. If it weren't for you, I might be swimming in a bikini in Hawaii right now!" Ms. Cheng said dismissively.
What a joke! Although Ms. Cheng is not young, and could even be a grandmother, she has never felt old. The only thing that bothered her was seeing Yuanyuan's mother, Jiang Panyue, suddenly look younger last year, which made her feel a little unbalanced.
But now, she also possesses the youthful appearance, with fair, supple, and elastic skin all over her body. Not only has her figure remained unchanged, but she even has a more mature charm than her own daughter, Liu Ruyan. Why shouldn't she be confident? She's almost dying of confidence.
"Mom, you can go now, okay?" Liu Ruyan said helplessly.
Ms. Cheng waved her hand: "No, that won't do. I'm going to be a mother-in-law now, so I need to be mindful of the image. Let's talk about it after you get married."
"The way you're saying that makes it sound like being a daughter is preventing you from staying young!" Liu Ruyan said, pursing her lips.
Ms. Cheng smiled dismissively: "Isn't that right? Yuanyuan, tell me, do I look young?"
"You look the youngest, Auntie. You're much prettier than Liu Ruyan. And over the years, your appearance hasn't changed at all. You looked just like this when I was a child."
"She's tall, has a great figure, and a small face. If I were a man, I would definitely like Auntie too!" Miss Yuan raised her little fist and shouted, showering him with compliments.
Ms. Cheng was extremely pleased with the compliments, and of course, she had the right to say so, since she looked very young these days.
Of course, if his good skin and youthful appearance are attributed to the products he sells, then his facial features are simply a gift from God, something he's born with. However, his physique is the result of his hard work.
After all, Ms. Cheng, like Liu Ruyan, doesn't have the physique of being able to eat whatever she wants without gaining weight like Miss Yuan. The reason she can maintain her charm at this age is largely due to her own efforts.
After all, they are so rich, yet they don't indulge in excessive eating and drinking or become decadent. On the contrary, they control their diet and do yoga regularly to maintain their figure, which is something that not everyone can do.
Lin Mo asked himself honestly, if there were no shopping page, and he were already financially independent, he would have found a place to lie down and do nothing but eat and sleep every day. When he was bored, he would travel all over the country and start enjoying life.
As for exercising? Losing weight? What kind of weight loss? If you can't even eat, what's the point?
As for not being able to find a partner? Not being able to get married? Just kidding! I'm already financially independent. Even if I weighed 200 pounds, I could still marry a stunningly beautiful woman!
"Hehe, look, Yuanyuan is so good at talking, Auntie's little darling," Ms. Cheng said with a doting smile, gently rubbing Miss Yuan's head.
There's no way around it; when it comes to children, what you can't have always seems more alluring. It's true that Liu Ruyan is someone else's child, and Ms. Jiang is extremely envious. But Ms. Cheng also likes Miss Yuan's little round-faced daughter; she's so cute and adorable.
"Then you should go have fun and leave us alone. We can't bear the responsibility of ruining your youth," Liu Ruyan complained.
In response, Ms. Cheng waved her hand and said, "No need. Although I haven't gone out to play, I still feel young at heart. I'm at home with nothing to do, so I go online every day. Like Xiao Mo, your classmate, the one named Li Shiya, I've read all your works and even liked them!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo blushed. Although it wasn't his account and he wasn't the main character, he still felt embarrassed.
"Auntie, you still watch Li Shiya? I also appeared in it. Did you see me?" Miss Yuan said happily.
Ms. Cheng smiled and nodded: "Of course, Yuanyuan is such a joy, I've been following you all!"
It's clear that Ms. Cheng is young at heart despite her age, maintaining a youthful mindset. Her interests on Douyin (TikTok) also highly overlap with those of young people. Otherwise, why would any elderly person watch Li Shiya?
Of course, Ms. Cheng would never admit that the reason she paid attention to Li Shiya was because Lin Mo showed off his hand speed in the live broadcast room and was dubbed the "rich woman's happy hand"!
The group chatted in the living room for a while, and then the housekeeper announced that lunch was ready, so the four of them went directly to the dining room to eat.
"Round and round sweet rice balls, this is sea cucumber and black chicken soup specially prepared for you, Xiao Mo. Try it. Since you two got together, Ru Yan's complexion has been getting better and better. She used to gain weight, all thanks to you taking care of her, Xiao Mo."
Ms. Cheng served soup and vegetables to the two of them, and said with great satisfaction.
Especially Lin Mo, he knows his own daughter best. He knows what her complexion and health were like before, and what her complexion is like now. It must have something to do with Lin Mo!
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Thank you, Auntie!"
The two quickly thanked her, and Liu Ruyan glanced at her mother, indicating that she wanted some too. "What are you looking at? Do you expect me to serve you? Help yourself to what you eat. Honestly, I'm your mother, not your boyfriend. Do you expect me to take care of you?" Ms. Cheng ladled herself a bowl of soup and sipped it, complaining.
Liu Ruyan:
"No, Mom, I'm still your biological daughter, how come you don't remember what I like to eat?"
Hearing this, Ms. Cheng's eyes lit up: "Now that you mention it, I really do remember! Wait a minute!"
As she spoke, Ms. Cheng got up and went to the kitchen. She soon returned with a plate covered with a lid.
“I’ve been watching some cooking bloggers online these past couple of days, and I’ve created my own dish. You can try it.” With that, she opened the lid.
The next second, all three of them stopped in their tracks.
Miss Yuan: "Auntie, is this... fruit for dessert?"
Lin Mo opened his mouth but didn't dare to comment, but the dish was incredibly bizarre.
"This is... celery stir-fried with strawberries?" Liu Ruyan asked in disbelief.
Ms. Cheng nodded: "This is a dish I created myself, Green Berry Bamboo Horse, how about it! Come on, come on, have a taste!"
Three people:
"What a strange dish of green strawberry bamboo horse!" Liu Ruyan shook her head repeatedly when invited. She would never eat such a bizarre dish.
Miss Yuan, on the other hand, was quite curious. She took a bite, then stopped talking and started eating the other dishes voraciously.
It wasn't until this moment that Lin Mo realized who Liu Ruyan's cooking talent came from. It turned out that everything had a traceable origin; this was what inheritance was all about!
Of course, Ms. Cheng can cook normal meals. After all, how could someone her age not know how to cook? After all, Ms. Cheng's family wasn't wealthy when she was young. But Liu Ruyan, well, when it comes to inheriting cooking skills, she only inherited terrible cooking; she didn't learn any normal cooking abilities at all.
"Hi, not bad, not bad. Celery is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, potassium, and folic acid. It can promote intestinal peristalsis, enhance immunity, and stabilize blood pressure."
Strawberries have the effects of clearing heat and quenching thirst, strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion, and improving loss of appetite. Combining these two is perfect for this season. In fact, it would be even better if they were chilled in a couple of days when the weather gets warmer.” Lin Mo said this nonsense in a serious tone, trying to save face for his future mother-in-law.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng's eyes lit up immediately, but before she could speak, Liu Ruyan interrupted her, saying, "Hey, little brother, let's make this clear first: if you're going to praise it, that's fine, but don't drag me into it. Believe me or not, if you think it's delicious, this dish will be a staple on our table every time you come to my house. You'll have to eat it yourself then; my dad and I won't help you!"
"No, no, this dish may look a bit strange, but it's not outrageous. After all, our school cafeteria has a dish called 'Youthful Fiery Passion'!" Lin Mo waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing this, the group was taken aback.
"Youthful Fiery Passion? What's that? I've never seen it before. Is it tasty?" Miss Yuan asked.
After all, she's been to the school cafeteria before, and most of the meals they eat now are bought there.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo could only truthfully reply, "It's cucumber salad with dragon fruit and shrimp. Our school's second canteen has a creative dish window that frequently introduces some strange and unusual dishes. Every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, they always add a stir-fried mooncake dish. Some are stir-fried mooncake with garlic sprouts, some are stir-fried mooncake with chili peppers, some are stir-fried mooncake with tomatoes, and so on. They're all very cheap, just one yuan a serving!"
This isn't just him making things up; there really is such a thing as "creative cuisine." I don't know who invented it, but over the years, he's only tried it a few times before switching to eating at the No. 1 cafeteria.
As for why he would eat such an abstract dish? Just kidding. He's a college student, and his main trait is to be skeptical. The stranger it is, the more he wants to try it and see how it tastes. Anyway, it's not expensive, so he just wants to try something new and have a taste.
The main consumers of these creative dishes are freshmen every year. They really don't believe in superstitions. As for old hands like Lin Mo, they have long been tamed and are completely obedient.
He strongly suspected that the chef who was in charge of making the creative dishes must be a young man, just to satisfy his own perverse hobby.
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan looked incredulous, while Ms. Cheng seemed to have found a kindred spirit, feeling a sense of belonging. As for Miss Yuan, she became interested: "Oh? I usually don't eat abstract dishes, but if it's this abstract, I have to try it. Let's go together next Monday!"
Lin Mo: "There's no need for that. You can call Chuanzi and the others. I have to go to class!"
Miss Yuan:
