Tianyuan Grand Hotel.
An RS7 pulled up at the hotel entrance.
Xu Mo opened the car door and stepped out.
Third floor.
In a private room of the hotel.
An Youyi was standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside.
She recognized Xu Mo at a glance.
So she quickly pointed at Xu Mo downstairs and turned to shout to her mother.
"Mom, look, that's my boyfriend! He's here... I told you I wasn't lying, I do have a boyfriend!"
At this moment, the heavy weight in An Youyi's heart finally lifted.
She thought to herself that Xu Mo was indeed reliable!
It had only been about twenty minutes since she made the phone call, and he had already arrived.
Moreover, she noticed that Xu Mo had specifically rented a car of decent status.
It was clear he came prepared.
This round was in the bag!
They would definitely be able to pull this off!
"So you really do have a boyfriend?" Huan Qinxue peered at Xu Mo outside through the floor-to-ceiling window, then turned to look at her daughter, muttering to herself.
"Of course! Mom, your daughter is so outstanding, you don't need to worry about me finding a partner!" An Youyi hugged her mother's arm and smiled.
Huan Qinxue pushed An Youyi away: "Go on, you're too old to be acting coy."
Then she stared at An Youyi suspiciously and said: "Tell me the truth, did you just randomly find someone to fool me?"
An Youyi shook her head decisively.
"No way, how could I possibly lie about something like this?"
"Really?"
"Really!"
...
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock on the door of the private room.
"Come in," Huan Qinxue was now sitting in a chair.
Looking every bit the part of a mother-in-law vetting her daughter's boyfriend.
The next second, Xu Mo pushed open the door and walked in.
His gaze lingered on An Youyi for a moment, then turned to Huan Qinxue, smiling as he greeted her: "Hello, Auntie. I'm Youyi's boyfriend. I've heard so much about you from Youyi, I've been looking forward to meeting you."
"Hello," Huan Qinxue smiled back.
At this point, An Youyi also left her seat and ran to Xu Mo's side, intimately linking her arm with his and slightly standing on her tiptoes to plant a light kiss on Xu Mo's cheek.
She was mainly worried that mere words wouldn't be enough to convince her mother, so she decided to use actions to dispel any doubts in her mother's mind.
Xu Mo also understood An Youyi's intentions and naturally reached out to tap her nose.
"Auntie is watching, behave yourself."
Indeed, seeing this scene, Huan Qinxue was slightly taken aback, and most of her doubts were instantly dispelled.
She knew her daughter well.
Finding someone to fool her was possible.
But to make such intimate gestures with a member of the opposite sex just to fool her was absolutely impossible!
So, the young man before her eyes might really be her daughter's boyfriend after all.
Thinking this, Huan Qinxue decided to properly vet him for her daughter.
"I heard from my daughter that your name is Xu Mo, right? So I'll call you Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu, where are you from?"
"Auntie, I'm from Ram City."
"Ram City..." Upon hearing this, Huan Qinxue's brow furrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a bit dissatisfied.
Judging from the fact that Xu Mo could afford to drive such a nice car at such a young age, it wasn't hard to see that Xu Mo's family background should be quite good.
So the prospect of him becoming a live-in son-in-law... was probably out of the question.
The language, customs, and cuisine of Ram City were also completely different from Hang City, and whether her daughter could adapt to these was still a question.
Moreover, if her daughter were to face any hardships in the future, it wouldn't be convenient for her to visit her parents' home.
Thinking of this, Huan Qinxue was already not very optimistic about the relationship between the two.
She was even prepared to speak up and say that she didn't approve of their relationship.
However, before she could open her mouth, An Youyi, as if she could read her mother's mind, preemptively said,
"Mom, transportation is very advanced now. It only takes two hours to fly from Hang City to Ram City, it's very quick."
After a slight pause, An Youyi added another sentence.
"I also really like the food culture there, drinking soup regularly is good for health. You don't need to worry about the language either, I can understand it. My language skills are very good, not only can I understand, I can speak it too!"
Saying this, to demonstrate her language skills, An Youyi performed a classic line for her mother on the spot.
"Wearing a suit and tie, what's the use of having a big brother's phone? Huh? Following these big shots, you're asking for trouble!"
Huan Qinxue: "???"
Huan Qinxue's expression instantly froze.
This child was hopeless!
Language skills... what on earth had she been learning out there!
Was this appropriate language!?
Seeing the change in her mother's expression, An Youyi immediately panicked and gave Huan Qinxue an embarrassed smile.
"Hehe... Mom, my language skills are pretty good, right..."
She thought to herself, oh no, are we going to mess this up today!
At the same time, she slightly tightened her grip on Xu Mo's arm, seeking his help to resolve the situation.
Xu Mo felt the pressure on his arm and instantly understood An Youyi's intention.
The next second, Xu Mo spoke up.
"Auntie, your skin is so good, you look like you're in your twenties. How do you take care of it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huan Qinxue's expression immediately changed, and a smile she couldn't suppress appeared on her face.
She unconsciously touched her face.
"Ah? Twenties is an exaggeration, I'm almost fifty, I'm old, my skin is far from good anymore. How can I compare to people in their twenties? You really know how to flatter."
That's what she said.
But at this moment, Huan Qinxue was already beaming with joy.
Clearly, she was very pleased with Xu Mo's words!
The love of beauty is a woman's nature.
Women of her age are no exception.
Being in her forties or fifties and being told that her skin condition is like that of a twenty-year-old, even if she knows it's flattery, she can't help but feel happy.
"How could that be? When you stand next to Youyi, you look like sisters. How could you be old? By the way, Auntie, do you use skincare products?" Xu Mo continued.
With this, Huan Qinxue's floodgates of conversation opened.
She began chatting with Xu Mo.
Due to the rewards from the system, Xu Mo was well-versed in psychology.
He clearly understood what was going on in Huan Qinxue's mind.
Using various psychological techniques to chat with and please his mother-in-law was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
It was child's play!
The rhythm of the conversation for the rest of the meal was led by Xu Mo.
He knew what to talk about and understood how to control the timing of the conversation, changing topics from time to time.
"Auntie, I heard from Youyi that you like to play mahjong..."
"Auntie, when Youyi was little..."
"Auntie, in the future I want to..."
"Auntie, when you and uncle were young..."
"..."
Huan Qinxue became more and more satisfied with this son-in-law she was meeting for the first time, finding him increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Polite, talkative, sweet-tongued, good-looking, young and promising...
She even began to feel that her daughter might not be good enough for Xu Mo!
It was precisely because of this thought that Huan Qinxue felt that, as a mother, she needed to worry more for her daughter.
It would be best to urge the two to quickly turn their relationship into marriage, to prevent this precious son-in-law from getting away!
"Xiao Xu, I approve of your relationship with Youyi. How about this, I'll call Youyi's father right now and ask him to come over. We can settle this matter for you two today!"
Xu Mo: "???"
Damn!
This backfired, he had overdone it!

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
