"Pfft!"
Hearing Lin Mo's bewildered question, Jiang Wanli laughed until she cried.
There was no helping it; this matter couldn't be hidden forever.
So, she explained the whole story of the impersonation.
"What a coincidence. I'm not Wang Hao either. Just like you, I'm just a tool."
Lin Mo decisively chose to come clean, then extended his hand with a serious expression and said:
"Let's get to know each other again. I'm Lin Mo!"
Jiang Wanli blinked her large eyes, not expecting things to be so dramatic.
However, this seemed even more interesting than she had imagined.
Then, she reached out her small hand and shook Lin Mo's.
"Jiang Wanli!"
The two smiled at each other, tacitly accepting their previous behavior.
In a way, this could be considered a kind of mutual understanding.
"By the way, stay away from that Han You in the future, lest you catch some disgusting disease."
Lin Mo changed the subject and said.
STDs were no laughing matter.
"Hahaha, why do I smell so much jealousy?"
Jiang Wanli giggled, finding Lin Mo a bit childish for the first time.
No matter how well they got along, it was still only their first day knowing each other.
Being jealous because of someone like Han You seemed quite unnecessary.
"I've studied medicine under an old TCM doctor since I was a child. I can tell from details like body odor and facial features that Han You has a 'telephone pole' disease."
Lin Mo scratched his head and said solemnly.
The medical study was, of course, made up, but he couldn't help having the privacy system.
"'Telephone pole' disease?"
Jiang Wanli asked, a bit dazed.
There was no such knowledge in her experience.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, realizing it had been years since he'd seen those kinds of advertisements.
"Anyway, just make sure to stay far away from him."
Helplessly, Lin Mo could only make the request.
"Don't worry, I'm not close to Han You, and we have no interaction whatsoever."
Sensing Lin Mo's seriousness, Jiang Wanli immediately agreed.
If being handsome was all it took to interest her, it wouldn't have been Han You's turn.
Jiang Wanli had met many young talents with exceptional backgrounds, but none of them were as easy to talk to as Lin Mo.
Lin Mo saw Jiang Wanli being so cooperative and immediately broke into a smile.
This was what they called emotional value.
"Let's go, the movie is starting."
Lin Mo checked the time and said with a smile.
It was the May Day holiday period, so the cinema was very crowded.
However, relatively few people were watching this horror movie.
The most popular movies in theaters were always the lighthearted and cheerful ones.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mo led Jiang Wanli to their seats and noticed the girl's expression was a bit strange.
"It's nothing, I'm just not used to being on a date with a boy for the first time..."
Jiang Wanli held the Coke cup in her small hands, took a small sip, and hummed.
Watching a movie with a boy in such an enclosed space was an ambiguous and intimate thing.
After all, the two had only known each other for a few hours.
"First time strangers, second time friends."
Lin Mo chuckled; he had truly found a treasure.
"You look like the type who often takes different girls to the movies, don't you?"
Jiang Wanli bit the straw gently with her pearly white teeth and looked at Lin Mo askance.
Lin Mo was silver-tongued and humorous; he clearly did this kind of thing often.
"But all of them combined aren't as good-looking as you."
Lin Mo admitted it generously and offered a sincere compliment.
Meeting Jiang Wanli was as dreamlike as getting the system.
In fact, if not for the system assisting him, he wouldn't have had much confidence in getting along with this girl so easily.
"Ugh, so greasy."
Jiang Wanli curled her lip and whispered a retort.
Just then, the movie began.
Being a horror movie, the atmosphere felt somewhat tense.
However, Jiang Wanli watched with great interest.
Horror movies weren't really Lin Mo's thing, so most of the time, he preferred to steal glances at the girl's perfect profile.
What left Lin Mo speechless was a young couple in the corner who had been kissing since the start of the movie and were still being affectionate when it ended; they had completely treated the place like a hotel.
By the time the movie ended, it was already past ten o'clock.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Lin Mo said with a smile.
Jiang Wanli had mentioned earlier that she couldn't go home too late; he paid attention to such details.
"Okay."
Jiang Wanli still wanted more, but it was getting late, and if she didn't head back, her parents would come looking for her.
Afterward, Lin Mo took a taxi to see the girl home.
Dongyao District.
Ten Mile Flower Capital.
"You live here?"
Outside the luxurious villa area, Lin Mo was somewhat stunned.
Although he could tell Jiang Wanli was a girl raised in luxury, he was still startled.
The housing prices here were something an ordinary person couldn't afford even after working for ten lifetimes.
"Yeah, I bought it for convenience after starting university. I didn't live here before."
Jiang Wanli said softly.
Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded. What did she mean by "bought it for convenience"?
Where was the justice in this?
"Well, goodnight then!"
Jiang Wanli got out of the car, turned around, and gave Lin Mo a radiant smile.
"Bye-bye!"
Lin Mo waved, and only after the girl's silhouette vanished into the night did he snap out of his dreamlike state.
Today's encounter was too surreal.
Ding!
The phone screen suddenly lit up.
A new message.
"I had a great time today."
It was from Jiang Wanli.
Along with it was a cool cat emoji.
"Me too."
A smile appeared on Lin Mo's face, and he replied immediately.
Putting down his phone, even the air felt sweet.
Fate seemed to have arrived.
The next day.
Lin Mo was woken up early in the morning by Shen Qingyue's phone call, which made him a bit annoyed.
Today was Saturday; who wouldn't want to sleep in?
"Get up quickly. Today's big client is extremely important. If you can land them, it'll keep you fed for three years."
Shen Qingyue's cold voice carried a hint of temptation.
If Lin Mo hadn't conquered her during this period, such a big client would never have been handed to a newcomer like him to negotiate with.
Lin Mo suddenly remembered that Shen Qingyue had indeed mentioned this big client before.
Supposedly, she was a great beauty and a wealthy woman.
Lin Mo was instantly no longer sleepy. After getting up, washing, and dressing, he set off.
Qingshan District.
A luxurious café.
Lin Mo checked the time; fortunately, he wasn't late.
He found the reserved private room and entered after knocking.
"Hello, I'm Lin Mo, an employee of Tianheng Company..."
After pushing the door open, Lin Mo skillfully began his opening remarks.
But before he could finish, his gaze froze.
Sitting in the private room was an elegant and noble-looking beautiful woman.
Her face was like a spring breeze, her brows like distant mountains. Her dignified and appropriate midi skirt paired with a light-colored shawl exuded an intoxicating charm and elegance.
What a stunningly beautiful woman.
What an elegant and charming woman.
"Please take a seat. You can just call me Song Xi."
The woman gave a faint smile and gestured for Lin Mo to sit and talk.
Since he was sent by Tianheng Company, even though he was very young, he must have some extraordinary qualities.
Lin Mo sat down opposite her and noticed that Song Xi had already ordered coffee for him.
Ever since he got the system, his first reaction upon meeting a stranger was to check their information.
Song Xi was, naturally, no exception.
[Name] Song Xi
[Age] 37
[Trust Level] 51%
[Identity] Chairwoman of Xiyou Jewelry; CEO of Chuangxing Technology; Jiang Wanli's mother
[Personal Privacy] Dislikes business marriages; estranged from her husband

...After reading Song Xi's basic information, Lin Mo was completely shocked.
This woman was actually Jiang Wanli's mother?
