18: Chapter 18 The Ultimate Mama's Girl

Mo Niannian: "Brother Yu, I will arrive at 8:00 PM. Can you pick me up at the airport? I'm completely unfamiliar with the place, pitiful.jpg."

Reply: "Sure, I'll be there on time!"

General Manager Ding: "Brother Yu, to thank you for taking care of me, I've prepared a small gift for you. Can you tell me your address? I'll mail it over."

Lin Yu was too lazy to even type. He just took a screenshot of his chat history with Mo Niannian and sent it!

Just as he walked through the front door, his dad, mom, and older sister Lin Wan were gathered around the dining table eating breakfast—rice porridge, salted duck eggs, side dishes, and scallion pancakes. It was still the taste of home.

"Xiao Yu is back!" His mom was the first to see him, immediately standing up with a smile. "Come eat, the porridge was just freshly made."

Lin Yu handed the newly bought phone to Lin Jianguo. "Dad, the phone I promised you." As he spoke, he pulled out a chair, sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and joined them in eating.

Lin Jianguo cheerfully opened the packaging and asked Lin Wan to help him transfer his SIM card, photos, and Green Bubble to the new phone. Lin Yu shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Dad, how's the car driving? Is it thrilling?"

"Super thrilling. Just a tap on the gas pedal gives you that push-back feeling, and it's incredibly comfortable to sit in. It's just too much of a gas guzzler. Can you believe it takes 20 liters per 100 kilometers? I don't even dare to drive it to work. As a security guard, if I drive this car, people would think I rented it just to put on airs."

His mom chimed in, "Your dad treasures it like crazy. Since we only have outdoor parking spaces here, it gets dusty every day, so he wipes it down daily. He even bought a high-quality towel specifically for it, one that's better than the one he uses for his own face."

The whole family burst into laughter!

Lin Yu said, "Just drive it. I'll reimburse you for the gas. Also, Mom, Dad, why don't you both just quit your jobs? Enjoy your life at home. I'll give you monthly living expenses, which will be more than enough for you to spend."

Lin Jianguo replied, "It's too early to retire. I can't sit idle at home. Going to work is just like playing, plus there are people to chat with."

Lin Yu: "Alright, you guys decide." After saying that, he looked at his sister Lin Wan sitting opposite him, picked up his phone, and transferred twenty thousand yuan to her right in front of the whole family.

The notification tone for the mobile transfer rang. Lin Wan was stunned for a moment. "Xiao Yu, why are you transferring money to me?"

"Sis, aren't you starting to date someone?" Lin Yu smiled. "A girl should dress up beautifully. Buy clothes when you need to, get your hair done when you need to. When you go out shopping, you can't always let Big Brother Director Wu pay, right? We aren't short of money. Only by standing on equal footing can you hold your head high."

Lin Wan's eyes grew slightly red, but her heart was warm. She hadn't spoiled her younger brother in vain. Now that he was successful, he was thinking of her in every way.

"Okay... then I'll accept it," Lin Wan replied.

"Dad, let me drive your car for a couple of days so I can get a feel for it. Also, the day after tomorrow in the morning, I'll pick you guys up to go to the Municipal Hospital for a physical checkup. Don't forget, keep an empty stomach after you wake up."

"The keys are on the cabinet by the door."

"Alright! I'm off then."

Twenty minutes later, downstairs at the matchmaking agency, Zhou Li saw Lin Yu get out of a brand-new Maybach. Her eyes widened in shock, and a "holy crap" escaped her lips. She walked up to greet him and asked, "Lin Yu, this car must cost millions, right? Did you rent it just to show off?"

"It's my dad's," Lin Yu said casually.

"Holy cow, so you're actually a closet rich second-generation."

Lin Yu just smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

Zhou Li: "By the way, is this what you meant by 'arriving soon'? It's been a whole hour. That mother and daughter were about to leave just now, and Yifei has been stalling them upstairs for you until now!"

"Traffic jam," Lin Yu said, without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.

Zhou Li rolled her eyes, too lazy to expose him. "Alright, alright, hurry on up. They're already tired of waiting. Let me tell you, her looks are absolutely top-tier, it's just... you'll have to experience it yourself in a moment."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "What? Is there a catch?"

"Whether there's a catch or not, you'll know after chatting for a bit."

The two of them went up to the second floor. The moment they entered, Lin Yu was instantly dazed. Beautiful, absolutely stunning!

He saw two people sitting on the booth sofa. The older one looked to be only in her early thirties, presumably the mother. Time had left absolutely no trace on her face. Her facial features were elegant and open, her eyes naturally exuded charm, and her temperament was dignified. The more one looked at her, the more captivating she became. Her figure was exceptionally well-maintained, full-bodied and curvaceous. She possessed more of the charm of a mature woman than a young girl, along with a hint of assertiveness, looking like someone with a strong desire for control at a glance.

The younger one was, of course, the daughter! Her skin was as white as fine mutton-fat jade, looking so tender it seemed it would release water with a pinch. Her facial features were as exquisite as if they had been digitally retouched by a computer. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes held the depth of autumn waters, her nose was small and pert, and her lips were naturally pink and tender. Her temperament was pure yet carried a hint of allure; even without makeup, she could easily outshine female celebrities in the entertainment industry. Her figure was slender and well-proportioned, with a tiny waist and long legs, and she had curves in all the right places. Purity and sexiness were perfectly blended, making her overall beauty breathtaking. Yet, she clung to her mother like a porcelain doll that had never grown up.

Ding! A beautiful woman meeting the criteria has been detected:

Name: Su Manqin

Age: 44

Occupation: Unemployed

Looks: 93

Height: 170cm

Weight: 52kg

Purity: 99

Health: Normal

Intimacy: -5

Name: Mu Wan

Age: 22

Occupation: Unemployed

Looks: 98

Height: 169cm

Weight: 48kg

Purity: 100

Health: Normal

Intimacy: -2

The system prompt arrived as expected. Looking at the light blue transparent panel in front of him, regarding looks, because he had already been stunned by Director Chu Yao and Tang Man, Lin Yu believed he had developed a certain level of resistance to beautiful women. Su Manqin was roughly on par with those two, with a different temperament, making it hard to rank them. Mu Wan, however, was different; she was clearly a bit more beautiful, which was why he had briefly lost himself upon seeing her. The purity rating pleased Lin Yu even more. Unemployed? What did they live on? Did they have an inheritance? Or did they have a gold mine at home? Wait a minute! What was up with the negative intimacy? Was it because he was late? Or was it a lack of trust or security in people? Whatever, none of that mattered!

Zhou Li briefly introduced both sides, and then she and Liu Yifei stepped out.

Auntie Su looked Lin Yu up and down. She was quite satisfied with his looks and clothing, and her displeasure over his lateness faded significantly.

"Little Lin, I won't beat around the bush. Wanwan's dad passed away early, and she's my only daughter. I've spoiled her since she was a child. She doesn't know how to do anything and can't suffer even the slightest grievance."

Mu Wan hugged her mother's arm, her voice soft and sweet:

"Yes, Mom washes my clothes, Mom cooks my meals, Mom pours my water. Mom is the person who loves Wanwan the most in the world."

Lin Yu sat steadily and nodded calmly:

"That's fine. Girls are meant to be spoiled."

Auntie Su was taken aback. She hadn't expected him to be so easygoing, so she continued to state her conditions:

"After you get married, I want to live with you so I can take care of her 24 hours a day. The house must be in the city center, the area cannot be less than 200 square meters, and Wanwan's name must be on the property deed."

"I can't leave my mom. I even have to sleep with her," Su Wanwan said softly.

The corners of Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly:

"No problem. An extra person makes the house livelier."

Auntie Su nodded, starting to appreciate the young man in front of her. "The car cannot be worth less than 500,000 yuan. I'm afraid a cheap one won't be safe."

"No problem! Anything else?"

"All your money must be handed over to Wanwan to manage. She can't work; that would be too hard on her. She should just shop every day and make herself look beautiful. You'll be happy to see her like that, and you'll have more motivation to work."

Lin Yu rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "Regarding the condition of handing all the money over to Wanwan, I have a better suggestion. Would you like to hear it, Auntie Su?"

"Oh? Do tell."

"I'm not an office worker, and office workers don't make enough salary to fund Wanwan's shopping sprees. Even a rich second-generation can run out of wealth if they only spend without earning. Therefore, the only way is business. Only by continuously making money can we ensure that you and your daughter will never find yourselves short of cash, right?"

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

Seeing that Su Manqin was following his line of thinking, Lin Yu thought to himself: *Hook, line, and sinker!*

"This is fate, then. I happen to be an excellent businessman, and going out to make money every day is my responsibility as the only man in the household. I don't want Auntie Su to go out and work either; that would be too hard on you! I'm willing to shoulder this responsibility. But to do business, one must have liquid capital, otherwise, there's no way to make money, and I might even go bankrupt. So my suggestion is: I guarantee you'll have endless money to spend, and I'll have endless money to make. That way, you two can live a worry-free life forever! What do you think?"

While Su Manqin was digesting Lin Yu's words, Mu Wan said somewhat timidly, "I don't want Mom to go out to work either. Mom has raised me for over twenty years, it's been too hard on her."

"Indeed, Wanwan is such a good girl!"

Hearing someone other than her mother praise her made Mu Wan quite happy. *This Lin Yu is actually a pretty nice guy!*

Ding! Mu Wan's intimacy +2

Current Intimacy: 0

After thinking it over, Su Manqin felt that Lin Yu was indeed planning for their future life together, and what he said made sense. They couldn't just sit back and consume their resources, or else her daughter would suffer. She said, "What Little Lin says makes sense. While you're out making money, we must hire a nanny at home. I have to take care of Wanwan and won't be able to manage everything myself. In the future, wherever you two go, you must take me with you. What Wanwan eats, what she wears, and what time she goes to sleep must all be arranged by me."

Mu Wan also nodded in agreement. "I can't even unscrew a bottle cap. I can't survive without my mom."

Anyone else would have lost their temper long ago, but Lin Yu just smiled gently, his tone warm and certain:

"I agree to all of these."

Both mother and daughter were stunned, clearly not expecting him to be so straightforward.

Auntie Su was in disbelief. "You... you agree to all of it?"

"Yes. Since I want to be with Wanwan, I will naturally respect her habits, and I respect you as well."

Lin Yu's gaze fell upon Su Wanwan's breathtakingly beautiful face, his voice low and gentle.

"It's just that I'm usually busy with work and can't be around every single moment. We have plenty of time ahead of us, so we can adapt slowly."

Her heart skipped a beat under his gaze, and Mu Wan said softly,

"But... I don't know how to do anything."

"I can teach you," Lin Yu said in a relaxed tone. "You don't have to learn everything at once. We can take it slow. Learn to pour a glass of water today, learn to pick up food with chopsticks tomorrow, and learn to cover yourself with a blanket the day after. I won't force you to grow up instantly; I'm willing to wait for you. You are the best, you have to believe in yourself!"

Auntie Su wanted to say more, but Lin Yu calmly added another line:

"You can't be with her forever. Going along with her now is my way of pampering her; teaching her to be independent later is for her own good. Rest assured, I won't let her suffer any grievances."

These words both saved her face and made his intentions crystal clear.

Auntie Su opened her mouth but, glancing at the car keys on the table in front of Lin Yu, she ultimately didn't object—after all, the young man before her was wealthy, sincere, even-tempered, and willing to spoil her daughter. She really couldn't find any faults.

Mu Wan looked at Lin Yu, wanting to try and rely on him. She didn't want her mother to work too hard, so she wanted to find a man to take care of the two of them. This was the first time someone hadn't looked down on her, and had been able to talk with her mother calmly the entire time without storming off.

Lin Yu stood up and made a polite gesture with his hand:

"It's getting late. Today, you and Wanwan make the decisions. Wherever you want to eat, whatever you want to eat, I'll arrange it."

Auntie Su's expression softened even more. "Now that's more like it."

Mu Wan gently tugged at her mother's sleeve, offering her own suggestion for the first time: "Mom, why don't we... just give it a try first."

"Alright, my good daughter!"

Lin Yu understood clearly.

Step one, successfully secured.

As for how to slowly turn this "little princess who can't leave her mother" into a partner who could walk by his side in the future—

Lin Yu had plenty of patience and the confidence provided by the system.

He smiled slightly, his tone warm. "Alright, let's head out first. We can slowly think about what to have for lunch on the way!"

The three of them stood up. Zhou Li and Liu Yifei came over to see them downstairs. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, Liu Yifei gave Lin Yu a thumbs-up, thinking, *To think you could handle such an extreme mama's girl, little brother, you've really got something!* Lin Yu made an OK gesture, signaling that it was an easy handle!

"Old classmate, I've already mentioned the investment to my friend. She will contact you once she's done with her busy schedule over these next couple of days. You and Yifei should first prepare a budget report, aiming for a market that covers the entire city. We're off now, I'll treat you guys to a meal some other day!"

"Sure, no rush for these few days."

The group said their goodbyes. Lin Yu led the mother and daughter toward the parking spot. Seeing the brand-new car, Su Manqin felt slightly more reassured.

The Maybach drove smoothly on the road.

Throughout the ride, Mu Wan tightly hugged her mother's arm, curiously sizing up the car's interior while stealing glances at Lin Yu as he drove.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, the waiter respectfully led the way.

The restaurant featured floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a full view of the scenery outside. The lighting was soft, and the music was elegant.

Mu Wan's eyes lit up as she looked around; this was her first time coming to such a high-end place.

After they sat down, Auntie Su habitually took charge of everything:

"Waiter, my daughter doesn't eat spicy food, doesn't eat cilantro, and doesn't eat anything too greasy. The soup needs to be warm, and the steak must be well-done and cut into pieces before being served..."

Mu Wan sat obediently, motionless, waiting for her mother to arrange everything for her.

Lin Yu observed this and didn't interrupt. He only spoke up gently after Auntie Su finished speaking:

"Wanwan, is there anything you want to eat yourself?"

Mu Wan was taken aback and shook her head. "I... I'll listen to Mom."

"You can listen to your mom, but you should also say what you like yourself," Lin Yu said in a very gentle tone. "If you don't say it, how can others know, right?"

Auntie Su was about to speak, but Lin Yu gave her a gentle look:

"Auntie, let her try. If it doesn't work out this time, there's always next time."

Auntie Su was suppressed by his calm and steady aura and didn't interrupt.

Mu Wan hesitated for a long time before saying softly, "I... I want to eat that little cake."

"Alright." Lin Yu immediately nodded to the waiter. "Add one of your signature mousses as well."
