Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 26: Chapter 024: Chance Encounter

The central shopping mall in Magic City is undoubtedly one of the domestic malls with the highest number of international high-end brand stores in Hua Country.

Currently, the first floor of the mall has gathered twenty-five world-class flagship stores, including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Gucci, Prada...!

This combination of world-class diamond-grade merchants, together with the unique store designs, brings customers a prestigious shopping experience!

Naturally, the items in the mall, often priced at ten thousand or even hundreds of thousands, have already prevented ninety-nine percent of customers from stepping inside the stores.

There is absolutely none of the usual flow of people found in ordinary malls in the central shopping mall, which most of the time seems empty and spacious, but most of those who can enter and leave here carry themselves with an elegant demeanor befitting the elite class.

In the distinctive Valentino store, dressed in a business suit, Sun Mengqi's tall figure and the deep V-neckline make her look incredibly sexy. Paired with a black miniskirt, her slender and radiant legs are fully revealed, giving her an equally commanding presence.

Similarly, a 92-percent beauty rating is absolutely high within the dozens of stores on the first floor.

At that moment, Sun Mengqi was making an effort to maintain her upright and sexy stance, her slightly raised chin further revealing her snowy-white collarbone. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Sun Mengqi tried, the attention of the young man wearing a Patek Philippe watch opposite her never landed on her.

Meanwhile, Chu Mo was waiting quietly on the soft, comfortable leather sofa.

Truth be told, Chu Mo had deep feelings for his younger cousin Chu Xiner, who he had grown up with. Before he turned ten, Chu Mo had always lived in the countryside. As the eldest son and grandson, he didn't have many memories of his cousin, who was four years his junior.

The only thing he remembered was that Chu Xiner, who liked to cry as a child, always enjoyed following him around.

Then, the most vivid memory was that Chu Xiner's hard-saved fifty cents of pocket money had been tricked out of her by him to buy candy. Then because the account split wasn't even, the little girl had told their parents, and Chu Mo even clearly remembers the sight of the little girl crying her eyes out...!

Thinking back, Chu Xiner was actually very clingy and trusted him a lot when she was younger.

Then, when he turned eleven and moved to the city with his parents, except for the brief encounters during each Spring Festival, their contact had become less and less frequent...!

"The candy I owe you, I'm giving it all back to you now!"

Chu Mo chuckled softly, and as he turned his head, he saw Chu Xiner standing at the fitting room entrance, looking utterly bewildered with her fragmented fringe hairstyle.

For that brief moment, Chu Mo felt as if he saw a little girl with pigtails rushing towards him, calling him 'brother'!

He immediately stood up and gently approached Chu Xiner, observing her flushed cheeks as she wore a floral sundress.

The red dress stood out like a dazzling ray of sunlight amidst the colorful crowd, eye-catching and stunning, complemented by a pair of pink high-heeled sandals. With the girl's already well-proportioned figure, it highlighted her perfect, exquisite curves.

The girl who once had drab, long, yellowish hair, now transformed into a princess, shining brightly!

Nodding lightly and looking satisfied, Chu Mo didn't ask for Chu Xiner's opinion and directly passed his platinum card.

This was the bank card he had gotten to help Ling Yue boost her sales, containing fifty million in deposits!

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

The hint of resentment in the servant's eyes disappeared instantly, and she became respectful and humble, her beautiful face showing warmth and humility.

As he took back the bank card, he stopped Chu Xiner's intention of changing back into jeans, and instead, took her by the hand and led her out of the store.

Chu Mo had planned to continue shopping with her, buying a few more outfits for her to change into, but unexpectedly, after just a few steps, the girl at his side suddenly withdrew her hand from his, and her whole body gave a slight shudder.

The stark difference brought him to a halt, and as he turned his head, he took a look at Chu Xiner, who resembled an ostrich with her head lowered beside him. Suddenly, he felt something and when he looked up, directly across from him, three flamboyantly dressed young girls were staring at him with disbelief written all over their faces!

It took Chu Mo a moment to realize what was happening. From a distance of about seven or eight meters, the three girls who had just emerged from a shop covered their mouths in surprise, their chattering voices carrying over from afar.

"Isn't that Chu Xiner?"

"It looks... like it's Xin'er!"

"It really is Xin'er, oh my gosh, she's completely changed, I can't even recognize her!"

As the girls chatted excitedly, they quickly approached.

At this moment, a girl with long hair cascading over her shoulders and a mild demeanor, clad in a sky-blue Hermès dress, suddenly stepped forward. With crescent-shaped monolid eyes that radiated friendliness when she smiled, the long-haired girl took a quick glance at Chu Mo, then crisply said to Chu Xiner:

"Xin'er, I didn't expect to bump into you here. Didn't you say you had a part-time job every weekend? If we had known you were this free, we would have dragged you along for shopping, and then all four of us from the dorm could've been together!"

"Little Xi sister, I didn't lie to you. I was really going to work, it's just, it's just that my brother dragged me here...!" Chu Xiner glanced nervously at Chu Mo standing beside her, her demeanor flustered and at a loss.

The eyes hidden behind the glasses suddenly narrowed slightly, and from just this momentary observation, Chu Mo had already gathered a lot of information.

The three in front of him were Chu Xiner's roommates.

In the dorm, there were four people; these three had grouped together to go shopping, deliberately leaving his cousin behind.

Chu Xiner's overly cautious behavior made it easy for Chu Mo to deduce her position within the dorm.

Probably, his timid and introverted cousin, who was not good at socializing, had long been treated as a servant by the three girls in front of him!

Chu Mo's deductions were not without basis; just from this moment's observation, the sense of superiority exuded by the three girls, which they couldn't hide in time, was unmistakable!

While Chu Mo was making his silent observations, another girl with a Lolita face full of excitement said:

"Xin'er, I never knew you hid it so well, having such a handsome boyfriend and not telling us? To think the first one in our dorm to get a boyfriend would be you!"

The Lolita-faced girl, dressed in a white shirt, was notably plump, and her presence was enough to make most girls feel inferior.

Amid the Lolita girl's excited expression, even Chu Xiner's neck had flushed red as she immediately waved her hands, her tone anxious:

"No, no, Tao Yun sister, you've got it wrong, he really is my brother... we're not what you think."

Gently patting Chu Xiner's head, Chu Mo knew that if he didn't speak up soon, his naturally timid cousin would be overwhelmed with embarrassment.

He adjusted the gold glasses on his nose bridge, and with a calm and indifferent expression, Chu Mo spoke in an even tone:

"Hello, you all must be Xin'er's roommates. I'm Xin'er's cousin. From now on, I'll be counting on you to take care of her!"

Dressed in exquisitely tailored clothing, Chu Mo, who carried an air of solemn elegance, spoke plainly, causing the three girls in front to take a good look at him.

It was only a moment, and the girl with the youthful face and splendid figure immediately widened her eyes.

She recognized the gold glasses on Chu Mo's nose!
