Nan's mother liked Li Mo very much and treated her as a relative. She smiled and said, "It's okay. When he comes down, I'll introduce them to him."
Song Ya was delighted when she heard the words, but she didn't show it on her face. She was secretly delighted and praised her several times, saying that she was thoughtful enough to prepare so many things for herself and Li Mo.
Nan's mother was usually well protected and had little exposure to the hypocrisy in social circles. In addition, Song Ya was her biological sister whom she hadn't seen for ten years, so she was even more defenseless and was completely satisfied with being nice to the two of them.
Nan Ling just happened to take down the notebook.
Nan's mother called him over immediately.
"Nan Ling, come here for a moment."
"… "
Nan Ling didn't want to get too involved with her cold aunt and her so-called cousin who had no blood relationship with her, but she couldn't lose face for her mother, so she could only reluctantly go along.
"Mom, I have something else to do later. It's almost time, why don't you guys chat first and wait for the next chance..."
"I didn't ask you to waste time." Nan's mother interrupted him unhappily.
Nan Ling had no choice but to shut up: "Yes, sorry."
Nan's mother then smiled and pulled him over to introduce him: "This is your cousin Li Mo. Your aunt showed you this in a video when you were a child. Do you remember her?"
Nan Ling frowned and looked at the girl next to him who gave him a strong sense of awkwardness, and said calmly: "I don't remember."
Nan's mother glared at him again: "You kid!"
Having said that, it was impossible for her to really scold her son in public for a distant relative, so she just scolded him verbally.
He immediately changed the subject: "By the way. Where are you going later?"
"Genting Mountain Club." Nan Ling did not hide it from her: "I have made an appointment with a few friends. Daniel, Kevin and others are coming. It's 12 noon. It takes an hour to drive there now."
It means he is almost too late.
Nan's mother let go of her hand and glanced at the well-behaved Li Mo beside her, remembering what her sister had said.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked her son, "Can you take Li Mo with you?"
Nan Ling refused without thinking.
Nan's mother took the lead and said, "She just came to Independence Island and is unfamiliar with the place. I'm going to the beauty salon with your aunt later, and it's not good for a young girl like her to keep hanging out with two old ladies like us. You two are about the same age, and a bunch of friends are here, so you can take Li Mo with you, and just treat it as introducing her to more friends."
“…” Nan Ling was silent for a moment.
He was a smart man and could understand the meaning of Nan's mother's words.
In fact, his mother just asked him to take Li Mo out on a blind date to see if they could meet someone they were attracted to and then develop a relationship.
Nan Ling was brought up to be very upright, and he looked down upon this kind of climbing up the social ladder. But his mother had asked him to do so, and seeing that the Li family had sent their daughter here, he knew that if Li Mo couldn't find a suitable person, she might set her sights on him.
After a brief consideration, he reluctantly said, "I have something important to do at noon, so I may not be able to take good care of her. If she doesn't mind, she can go with me."
Nan's mother immediately looked at Li Mo tenderly.
Li Mo immediately lowered her head, as if embarrassed: "I will take good care of myself."
Nan's mother understood what she meant. She turned around and gave Nan Ling a few more instructions, then asked Li Mo to follow Nan Ling and they should go together.
…
Outside.
Nan Ling opened the door of his car with a headache, glanced at the person following him, suppressed his annoyance, and tried to speak in a calm tone.
