Yu Mo held his forehead, unable to bear his own mother's criticism of him: "Okay, Mom, stop talking and let's eat together." He came up with a temporary solution and changed the subject.
"Well, using food to shut your mother's mouth is not bad, right?" Ji Yan took the initiative to forgive others and took Lin Meng's hand, being as affectionate as two sisters: "Little Lemon, I don't know why, I liked you so much the first time I saw you. I hope you don't treat me as an outsider, and it would be better if you treat me as your own mother, or even your own sister!"
Yu Mo: "Hmm?"
Lin Meng: “…”
The naughty Ms. Ji finally realized that there was something wrong with the generational relationship. She waved her hand awkwardly and pointed at the two bowls on the table and said, "You two are just having porridge tonight?"
Yu Mo: "Ah...this."
He subconsciously looked at Lin Meng, a little worried that Lin Meng might let slip something about his injury—
Lin Meng's pupils moved quickly, and she whispered cleverly, "Auntie, my stomach hasn't been feeling well these past two days..."
Yu Mo breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace, and then heard Lin Meng add enthusiastically: "It's not that the captain is reluctant to buy it for me!"
Yu Mo: “…”
Ms. Ji is really poisonous.
Yu Mo felt that Lin Xiaomeng had been completely led astray by Ms. Ji. After the two women formed a united front, Yu Mo felt that his position was in jeopardy.
Ji Yan ordered a bowl of bird's nest for herself. After sitting down, she asked about Lin Meng's recent situation and asked in surprise, "The little girl also went to play computer games with you?"
Yu Mo said helplessly: "That's not called playing computer games, it's called e-sports, okay, Mom."
"Oh, yes, e-sports." Ji Yan bit the spoon and said, "Did you trick her into going there?"
Yu Mo: “…”
Ji Yan: "Your job is so stressful! You get scolded by everyone online for losing a game, and you let a young girl suffer this pain—"
Lin Meng quickly said, "No, Auntie, I wanted to go there myself. I've always liked this place."
"I know, it's quite profitable if you become famous, but it's hard work. I saw Yu Mo suffer through it, and no one could persuade her." Ji Yan sighed, "Really, if I had a daughter, I wouldn't have let her suffer so much. I would have spent the money and raised her well, raising her into a little princess. It's a pity that I'm no longer old enough to have a daughter." She tapped Yu Mo with her spoon and said, "Just follow him. Although I don't know much about the e-sports industry, I know he's been there and has some say. He'll protect you, don't be afraid, okay."
Yu Mo coughed lightly.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yan glared and said, "Are you still not happy?"
"To be honest with you, Mom, she is not in our team." Yu Mo said.
"Not in your team? Why?" Ji Yan's eyes widened. "Aren't you the leader of your team? Don't you have this little bit of power?"
"Auntie, this is complicated!" Lin Meng quickly explained, "Anyway, I'm in another team now, and I'm doing just as well. I don't blame the captain."
Ji Yan asked, "Then when you were in other teams, did anyone still bully you?"
This sentence touched Lin Meng's heart.
She lowered her head sadly and buried her face in the bowl of porridge.
Ji Yan suddenly restrained her bright and flamboyant expression and glanced at Yu Mo: "Did you give her a heads-up in advance? As the person in charge of this kind of thing, you must personally handle it. Your reputation is determined by how others treat you."
"The captain put it in touch for me," Lin Meng said. "The manager treats me very well...it's just the players who have some issues with me."
"Are all the teammates men?" Ji Yan asked curiously.
"Um."
"They are too narrow-minded, not really men." Ji Yan said, "You have to set an example for them."
Lin Meng raised his head in confusion.
"You need to be more generous," Ji Yan said with a smile. "The more generous and tolerant you are, the more they will look like clowns." She put down the spoon and whispered, "How many boys are there on your team?"
"Four." Lin Meng said.
"I don't think it's possible that all four of them have something against you," Ji Yan said. "One or two of them must have tried to extend an olive branch of peace to you. Think about it carefully."
Lin Meng lowered her eyes and thought, and the face of the boy named "Heping" flashed through her mind.
She hissed softly.
"Am I right?" Ji Yan smiled. "Hey, little lemon, today I'll teach you a trick. If you want to defeat your opponent, you must first learn how to poach his girlfriend."
"Start with the easiest brick. Every time you dig out a brick, another one will inevitably loosen, gradually dismantling his alliance." Ji Yan said softly, "Sometimes, even if you look down on someone in your heart, don't show it too obviously on the surface. Try to replace contempt with compassion."
"What do you mean?" Lin Meng asked seriously.
"What I mean is, when you've carried your teammates, don't immediately act like, 'Ah, you're such wimps I couldn't even bear to look at you.'" Yu Mo said with a smile, "Try to act like, 'Even though you're wimps, I'm a kind person who still tried my best to carry you. I'm truly an angel bringing blessings to the world.'"
Lin Meng blinked.
She went over the scene in her mind.
It seems... a little bit exciting?
"I think I've been quite successful in educating Yu Mo in this area." Ji Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "So he's quite popular."
"Yeah." Lin Meng pondered and said, "Even if the captain relies on selling out his teammates to get kills, it seems that no one particularly hates him."
Yu Mo: "Hey, hey, I've never betrayed my teammates before, have I?"
"Little Lemon, think carefully about what Auntie said today." Ji Yan said, "Once you figure it out, you'll realize that your male teammates aren't worth mentioning. They'll soon be under your wing and all around you. After all, our Little Lemon is so pretty, right?"
Yu Mo: "...Wait?"
Ji Yan's imagination was so wild that she couldn't help herself: "Wow, when I think about it this way, the picture is quite——"
Yu Mo: "Mom! Stop it!"
The meal came to an imperfect end with Ms. Ji's outburst. Yu Mo felt that Ms. Ji had opened the door to an incredible new world for his Lin Xiaomeng, and his sense of crisis was piling up.
He first drove Lin Meng back to Winter's base, and then took Ms. Ji home.
"Mom, thank you for teaching her how to get along with others today." Yu Mo said, "Of course, thank you only for the first half of the lesson."
Ms. Ji leaned seductively against the car window, looking at her son with a serious expression.
"What? Are you feeling a sense of crisis?" she asked knowingly.
"Of course not." Yu Mo said unhappily, "You don't know that before you taught her these things, she had already successfully attracted the two most handsome men in the next team without realizing it."
"I can guess it with just a hair." Ji Yan said lazily, "I like girls like Little Lemon, let alone stinky men."
Yu Mo: “…”
"Son, I'm not saying anything bad about you." Ji Yan said calmly, "If a straight man like you were among my suitors thirty years ago, I wouldn't even look at him."
Yu Mo: "...I'm sorry, I confessed my feelings before and was rejected."
Ji Yan glanced at him in the rearview mirror, full of disdain: "Why are you such a loser, son?"
Yu Mo was a little irritable: "Then tell me, how did Yu Chengen capture your heart back then?"
Ji Yan: "Do you really want to know?"
Yu Mo: "Yeah."
The elegant Ms. Ji sat up straight like a swan and said, "High-profile display of love, high-profile display of love, understand? Tell all the males that she is my prey, let them feel your burning desire for possession, no woman can resist! Of course, this trick only works for men with good looks. I think you, son... barely fit the bill."
Yu Mo: “…”
Ji Yan: "All those who silently contribute behind the scenes are just spare tires. In TV dramas, they are destined to be cannon fodder male secondaries. Think about it carefully."
Lin Meng tiptoed back to Winter's club. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Crystal and Mr. Dan sitting in the lobby waiting for her.
"Finally back!" Mr. Dan stood up from the sofa and said, "Brother C, I'll go get that bar and apologize to Lemon."
Crystal raised her eyelids indifferently: "Go."
"Wait!" Lin Meng said, "No need!"
Crystal: "Are you hungry? I asked Mr. Dan to order takeout. Eat something first, then let Yi Gang come down and apologize."
Lin Meng: "No, I've already eaten." She said softly: "I just think... it's unnecessary."
Dan Zong suppressed his anger and said, "Why is it unnecessary? Yi Gang has gone too far this time. How can he isolate the team members? And he even lied to me that you didn't want to eat tonight because you wanted to lose weight. This is simply too bad!"
Crystal said with a sullen expression, "Do you think Yigan won't apologize to you? Don't worry, I'll make him give you an explanation today. He's been so rebellious."
Lin Meng said, "No." She suddenly felt calmer than ever before. "Brother C, even if you force him to apologize today, he still won't accept me in his heart. He will only think that I'm just bullying others. Such an apology is meaningless."
Crystal frowned. "So how do you want to handle this? Don't think you can tolerate it. His divisiveness will directly affect our team competition later. That won't just benefit you."
Mr. Dan suggested, "Let's deduct the bonus. That's the most direct way."
Lin Meng thought for a moment and said, "Give me two days, maybe I can take care of them."
Hahahaha, I was also impressed by Ms. Niu Hulu Ji today.
