Chapter 7: Shut up, that’s my cousin!
The next day, Lin Mo slept in and made up for all the sleep he had missed these past few days in one go.
At ten in the morning, in the bathroom, a sulfur facial cleanser was placed on the sink, while Lin Mo carefully examined himself in the mirror.
Indeed, yesterday he did not choose to use the “Cao Cao Happy House Experience Card.”
That thing might have seed quite tempting, but how could he, Lin Mo, waste such a precious opportunity on won?
“I’ll be damned, is the effect really this obvious?”
Although his skin had always been slightly better than the average man’s, he had never cared for it like girls usually did.
On top of that, since young people often stayed up late, dull skin and acne were inevitable.
Yet after using this facial cleanser only once, his face beca visibly whiter by at least a shade.
His pores shrank to the naked eye, and even the old acne scars showed obvious improvent.
“Good heavens, at this rate, won’t my face and neck end up with a color difference? I wonder if this stuff works on other parts of the body too.”
After coming out of the bathroom, he did a quick cleanup of the house.
He did not order takeout for lunch, instead responding to the survey questions from his class advisor in the group chat.
After all, he had not graduated yet, so the class group was still fairly active.
Most of the ssages were aid at students out on internships like him, as well as notifications for those whose internships had ended to return to school for classes.
He planned to make good use of this final year in school to properly develop himself.
Whether it was in terms of financial strength or personal abilities, he could accumulate it during this ti, and later, whether he entered society or pursued further studies, both would be good options.
‘Ding.’
Just then, his phone chid with a WeChat notification.
Picking it up, he found it was actually a ssage from the work group.
【Yang Chuan (General Manager): @everyone, tomorrow noon, General Manager Liu from the head office will co to inspect our branch. Please welco General Manager Liu into the group!】
Yang Chuan (General Manager) invited Liu Rushuang into the group chat.
Liu Rushuang: Hello everyone, I’m Liu Rushuang. I’m glad to be working with all of you for the coming period.
Dong Dawei (Manager): Welco, General Manager Liu.
Liu Ming (Manager): Welco, General Manager Liu.
Zhao Hai (Manager): Welco, General Manager Liu.
The managers lined up to greet her, and naturally the employees followed suit.
Lin Mo also copied and pasted a line.
Looking at this new “General Manager Liu,” Lin Mo couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Just from the na, it didn’t sound like a positive character.
She might even have a fiancé, while secretly flirting with a so-called “white moonlight.”
After her brief introduction, Liu Rushuang fell silent in the group, and the chat gradually quieted down.
Before long, Dong Dawei sent another ssage.
【Dong Dawei (Manager): @everyone, arrive at the office half an hour earlier tomorrow morning. Please reply when you receive this.】
Wang Hao: 1
Li Jing: 1
...
Zhang Wei: 1
Lin Mo: 1
Yuan ng: 丨
Amid the many replies, a strange ssage slipped in.
It was unclear whether the others didn’t notice it, or just pretended not to.
But Lin Mo noticed, and he chose to keep silent.
The next second, Yuan ng’s private ssage arrived.
Yuan ng: “Bastard, stop playing dead, reply right now. Xiao Black Dog, you’re finished!”
Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly exited WeChat and pretended not to see it.
Whatever happened tomorrow, let it happen tomorrow.
There was no way he would show his face today.
Ti passed quickly, and soon it was five in the afternoon.
Just as he was about to order takeout, his cousin Su He called.
“Hello, cousin!”
“Xiao Mo, I heard from Second Aunt that you’re doing your internship in Jiangning?”
“Yes, I’m in my junior year, and the internship is almost finished.”
“So fast, you’re already interning. Co out tonight, I’ll treat you to dinner. We haven’t seen each other in so long!”
Receiving his cousin’s invitation, Lin Mo imdiately agreed.
Although they weren’t siblings, their families were indeed close relatives.
And besides, how could he turn down a free feast?
“Alright, I’ll head out right away. Cousin, send the location!”
“No need, you send your location. I’ll drive to pick you up!”
Lin Mo sent his location, and his cousin replied with an “ok,” saying she’d arrive in half an hour.
He quickly freshened up, put on the new clothes he had bought yesterday, and tidied himself up in the mirror.
With the improvent in his skin, he stepped out feeling very confident.
Seeing the “wife” advertisent still pasted on the apartnt entrance door, he hurried his pace.
He definitely didn’t want to get covered by “wife.”
At the community gate, less than three minutes after he ca out, a white Zhiji L6 stopped in front of him.
The window rolled down, revealing a delicate face with light makeup.
It had to be said, the won in Lin Mo’s maternal family generally had good looks.
“Cousin?”
“Xiao Mo?”
Both of them froze for a mont.
After all, they hadn’t seen each other in so ti, and both had changed quite a bit.
The main difference was that his cousin didn’t usually wear makeup at ho!
He got in and sat in the front passenger seat.
“Xiao Mo, not bad, you’ve gotten handso. Do you have a girlfriend yet?”
“No, but Cousin, you’ve gotten more and more beautiful!”
“Heh, what a sweet mouth! What do you want to eat?”
“I’ll listen to Cousin.”
“Alright!”
Soon, his cousin Su He drove them to a hotpot restaurant.
The two chatted while eating.
Since they were family, there was nothing they couldn’t talk about.
Su He was a few years older than him, had graduated several years ago, and was now working as a manager in a company, with so career success to her na.
“Xiao Mo, do you have any plans after graduation? Why don’t you co interview at my company?”
“I haven’t decided yet, I’ll think about it when the ti cos.”
“Alright, if you need anything, give a call!”
“Thanks, Cousin!”
The more they talked, the happier they beca, even drinking a few glasses of alcohol.
But Lin Mo’s tolerance was far too low, no match for his cousin who had already been in the workforce for years.
Supporting him, Su He shoved him into the back seat of the car.
“You alright?”
Lin Mo didn’t even open his eyes, just waved his hand, his head spinning, not wanting to talk.
Seeing he wasn’t completely unconscious, Su He sighed in relief, then said: “Little brother, you really need to train your drinking tolerance. With this weak look of yours, it’s lucky it’s . If it were another woman, you’d have suffered a huge loss!”
Since both of them had been drinking, they obviously couldn’t drive.
Su He was just about to call for a designated driver, when she suddenly received a phone call.
As a result, the car remained parked for half an hour.
Half an hour later, the driver’s door was suddenly yanked open.
A woman in a black long dress, with her hair in a bun, sat down in the driver’s seat, imdiately scolding Su He.
“Well, well, I just arrived in Jiangning today and invited you to dinner, but you make be your driver instead?”
“Uh, I was just about to call one, it’s just a coincidence!” Su He said awkwardly.
“I really must owe you.”
After saying this, the woman reached for her seat belt, but then caught sight of Lin Mo slumped in the back seat.
“Wait... who’s this?”
“My brother!”
“Your brother? How co I never heard you ntion him before? Let take a look!”
With that, the woman got out, opened the back door, and sat inside.
She grabbed Lin Mo’s head and pulled it onto her shoulder.
“Oh wow, your little brother is not bad at all. Why didn’t you bring him out before?”
“Hold on, if you’re sitting in the back, who’s driving?” Su He quickly protested.
“We’ll just call a driver. I’ll pay for it. Hurry up. Ah, this little face, so tender!”
As she spoke, she took advantage of Lin Mo’s hazy state and planted a kiss on his cheek.
“Hey, stop it! Shut up, that’s my cousin!”
“Exactly, and aren’t I kissing my cousin?”
Su He: ...
