Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 1190 White Marble Clothes Rack

Miss Yuan didn't necessarily want to eat this meal, but she had come all this way and couldn't just come back on the spot. Wouldn't that make her, a dignified young lady, lose face?

The group then went upstairs again, where the family warmly welcomed them. Miss Yuan was indeed quite capable; she was simply well-liked by the elders.

With just a few words, he made his parents laugh heartily. Since everyone had just finished lunch, Lin Mo had to cook for her himself, making two simple dishes. Her mother also came over to help, gaining some experience points, and then said that she had made them herself.

Miss Yuan enjoyed her meal very much. Although Lin Mo's house was not big and the decoration was not good, at least the atmosphere at home was nice.

"Wow~~ Delicious! Auntie's cooking is amazing!" Miss Yuan gave a thumbs up, providing emotional support while eating.

That explains why she's so popular with elders; she can say whatever she wants to anyone.

These were just two ordinary stir-fried dishes, but they were eaten as if they were part of a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, which made her mother a little uneasy about business.

"Haha, if you like it, that's fine. Just drive over if you want to eat it, it's not far anyway," Mom Zhou Min laughed.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes. This was clearly my job!

"Sister Yuan, this is strange today. Why are you all alone? Where are the others?" Lin Mo asked.

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan glanced at him and said, "Didn't I already say that the class monitor and the others are revising their papers and don't have time? I can't just drag them over by force, so I had to come by myself?"

"What about Chuanzi? He's fine. He's got after-sales service, so he's pretty free. Didn't you two go out to play?" Lin Mo asked.

Miss Yuan sighed helplessly upon hearing this, "Chuanmei has gone crazy these past few days, insisting on finding a boyfriend. It's probably because spring has arrived, and it's mating season for animals. He's started to go into heat. I can't be bothered with him!"

"Maybe he was just discouraged. After all, it takes a lot of talent to find someone who can eat nine dishes," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Soon, Miss Yuan finished eating, and the three of them stayed at home for a while longer. It was 2 PM, and they really couldn't stay any longer. Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan each helped Miss Yuan downstairs and returned to Jiangning.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened this time. After the three of them got on the highway, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, at least the matter of the new house in their hometown had not been exposed.

Otherwise, given Miss Yuan's personality, she would definitely have gone to see it today and started booking rooms.

Although the matter of the house couldn't be kept secret for long, the two still wanted to enjoy a few days of time alone together. Once she found out, Miss Yuan would definitely follow them every time they returned.

Soon, the three of them, in three cars, returned to Jiangning. There was no other way; it wasn't a holiday, so there was no traffic jam. Jiangning and Nancheng were really just a short drive apart.

It was almost 5 p.m. when they got back to the apartment complex. Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan were too lazy to move, but Miss Yuan was full of energy and wanted to drag Lin Mo to play games together, but Lin Mo didn't want to move.

Just kidding. Although nothing major happened these past two days, he didn't want to play games as soon as he got back, so he politely declined.

The following Sunday morning, Lin Mo quietly placed a white marble clothes rack into the glass display case.

You read that right, it's a white marble clothes rack, and its abstractness is comparable to the jade feet that were trending recently.

[White marble clothes rack; Bai Haibo's lifelong rival, the prized possession of the "National Treasure Gang" grandpa; ¥0.5]

Believe it or not, he had actually watched that episode of the treasure appraisal online. The moment that old man took out the clothes rack, Teacher Bai's CPU almost burned out.

Who says normal people can't do stupid things? Go look at the National Treasure Gang; there are tons of people there who do abstract things, and all sorts of outrageous geniuses.

Gold CF axe, Mona Lisa's smile, Louvre's security on the verge of collapse, Samsung's mask, chicken cup worth hundreds of millions, it seems like I own every item in the Forbidden City, super-large diamond rings weighing over a pound—these are all standard practice.

As the saying goes, when in doubt, I slam my fist on the table and shout for a refund, ignoring everyone. I puff out my chest, put my hands on my hips, and close my eyes as my blood pressure rises. In short, if you're unhappy or even depressed, just watch two episodes of "National Treasure Appraisal" and everything will be fine.

But his clothes rack is indeed made of white marble, that much is undeniable, but it certainly doesn't qualify as an antique. If this thing could be considered an antique, it would be too ridiculous.

But no matter what, it's worth some money, and it's better than the disposable gloves from other options!

Just then, Liu Ruyan came out of the bedroom, rubbing her hair, and asked with a strange look, "What are you doing?" Lin Mo, who was placing the white marble clothes rack into the glass display case, paused, "Uh, nothing!"

"Nothing? What are you putting the clothes rack over there for?" Liu Ruyan asked, puzzled.

Although she thought the glass display case was full of junk, she also knew that everything inside was something Lin Mo liked.

But this clothes rack in front of me is just an everyday item, and it's clearly something I don't like.

"I just think this clothes rack is quite nice, and I want to put it in there to preserve it," Lin Mo said.

These words made Liu Ruyan laugh in anger: "Beautiful? What kind of taste do you have? You've never eaten anything good before. I've never seen anyone like clothes racks before."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, opened the glass display case, and reached inside to take a clothes rack. Seeing this, Lin Mo closed his eyes and did not stop her. It was obvious that she couldn't hide it anymore!

Sure enough, the moment Liu Ruyan touched the clothes rack, she sensed something was wrong; it felt hard and icy cold.

"What is this?" Liu Ruyan asked, her eyes wide with uncertainty.

Seeing this, he took a deep breath and, without hiding anything, described the material of the clothes rack.

Liu Ruyan: →_→

"You're telling me this thing is made of white marble?"

Lin Mo: "Yeah!"

Liu Ruyan: "Are you crazy? Why did you buy this thing? Are you just wasting money?"

Lin Mo: "I just think it looks pretty good!"

Liu Ruyan: "Could it be that it's produced by the same company as Yu Zu again?"

Lin Mo: "More or less!"

Liu Ruyan: "How much?"

Lin Mo: "It's a good deal. It's practically a buy-one-get-one-free deal, very cheap. I figured this thing is abstract enough, so I'll just take it home and play with it. If all else fails, I can make beads and make a few bracelets. Anyway, it's a good deal!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him: "This thing can only be used to make beads, it can't even be used to make a plaque, sigh... you..."

Although she felt speechless, she didn't blame anyone, since the purchase had already been made and the family wasn't short of money.

"Alright, I'm requisitioning this clothes rack before we start making the beads. I'll use it to dry my underwear from now on."

"That's too extravagant! Although my family is well-off, we're not so extravagant as to use a white marble clothes rack to dry our clothes. We have to enjoy this!" Liu Ruyan said.

Indeed, even the clothes racks in the homes of the super-rich wouldn't be made of white marble. It's not that they can't afford it, but rather that no one would be so abstract as to use it.

Seeing that she had passed this hurdle, Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. The only lingering effect was that Liu Ruyan's gaze towards her became gentler, carrying a sense of care for children with intellectual disabilities.

Lin Mo was very angry, but he couldn't explain it. After all, his behavior was inexplicable. Who in their right mind would buy a white marble clothes rack?

"Well, I'm going upstairs to check on Yunyun, why don't you go?" After breakfast, Liu Ruyan asked after a while.

Lin Mo shook his head: "I'm not going. I still need to revise my thesis, which is due tomorrow. You go ahead!"

Ms. Zhao Yun is off today, and Liu Ruyan is also off. It's not very interesting at home, so she plans to go upstairs to chat with someone. After all, talking to her boyfriend every day can get boring, and she can't live a life with only her partner!

"Okay, you can write it at home. I'm going upstairs now. Remember not to open the door to strangers. Just say there are no adults at home. If you really can't, send me a message and I'll be right down!"

After saying that, Liu Ruyan went out. Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized what she meant and chased after her, his face flushed, shouting:

"Do you really think I'm an idiot?!"
