Chapter 29: Chapter 027: A Wonderful Life
The taxi stopped at the entrance of the residential area, and Chu Mo, sitting in the passenger seat, gave a slight nod of acknowledgment. The guards at the entrance, with their upright postures and solemn expressions, immediately waved the taxi through.
In the entire Imperial Mansion complex, there were only nine villas, and Chu Mo alone occupied two of them. To every security guard and even to every cleaner, Chu Mo's face was deeply engraved in their minds.
They dared not show any negligence.
The taxi drove along the straight avenue, and the green area in the community had reached an unimaginable scope. One could believe they had arrived at a forest park, with the surroundings filled with the sights and sounds of a flowery paradise.
If it were not seen with one's own eyes, it would be hard to believe that within the prime area of the bustling Magic City, such a verdant villa district could exist.
Turning at a European-style fountain intersection, the taxi traveled another hundred meters and slowly stopped in front of a grand entrance. As Chu Mo climbed out of the passenger side, a middle-aged man in a black suit greeted him immediately!
"Mr. Chu, everything has been prepared according to your instructions!"
Without any need for Chu Mo to worry, a robust man around thirty years old quickly approached the taxi and gestured to the two taxi drivers that someone would take care of the fare.
Glancing at the four girls whose faces were full of curiosity, Chu Mo, as the host, naturally carried out his responsibilities.
"I had someone casually prepare lunch, though I'm not sure if it will suit your tastes. Xin'er, what are you waiting for? Invite your classmates in!"
The entire time her face flushed crimson, Chu Xiner's eyes widened, and she did not even hear her own words. Chu Mo noted that among the four girls, she was the most exaggerated in her reaction.
Shaking his head slightly, he stepped forward and grabbed her small hand. Chu Mo suddenly realized that the girl's hand was icy cold.
A touch of pity flickered at the bottom of his heart, and with a soft sigh, Chu Mo addressed the three girls to the side:
"Please!"
Crossing the threshold, the vast 9,900 square meter courtyard was also filled with chirping birds and fragrant flowers, where various flowers and plants adorned the entire yard like a sea of blossoms.
Turning past a sea of flowers, a huge rockery suddenly appeared, with clear water cascading down from its highest point, over ten meters high.
Passing through the rockery, the view opened broadly, revealing a large building brimming with European style.
The grand three-story villa covered a good 800 square meters, and altogether, the total area amounted to a staggering 2,400 square meters.
Just from the exterior, one could feel an aura of luxurious elegance rushing forth.
In front of the villa, a vast swimming pool, eleven meters long and five meters wide, rippled with waves. To swim here in the heat of summer was an enticing thought.
Holding Xin'er's hand, Chu Mo walked ahead, leading the way and casually introducing various structures in the courtyard.
The three girls following behind were clearly worldly, and after the initial astonishment, they gradually regained their composure.
However, for some reason, even the liveliest Tao Yun was behaving demurely, a stark contrast to her vivacity at the mall earlier.
The middle-aged man with a square face and dressed in a black suit respectfully followed behind. As the butler of the entire villa, his sole duty was to follow the master's wishes and provide the guests with the highest quality of service!
Chu Mo, who had been leading the way, noticed that the girl named Song Xiaoxi took an extra glance at the swimming pool and promptly said:
"You are all Xin'er's classmates, so don't be restrained. Feel free to come and visit often."
As he spoke, the girls didn't show much reaction, but Chu Mo was not in a rush. Leading the girls into the villa, what surprised Chu Mo was that inside the spacious living room, twelve maid-clad housemaids stood in two lines.
The moment Chu Mo stepped through the door, the maids on both sides bent respectfully and said in unison:
"Welcome home, master!"
Chu Mo frowned slightly and glanced at the middle-aged man who had been following him. The grand welcome seemed to be the butler's arrangement.
Although he didn't enjoy such fanfare, with guests present, it was not the right time to speak up about it. Leading a trembling Xin'er into the living room, Chu Mo smiled and said:
"Make yourselves comfortable, just like at your own home!"
"How could we dare that!"
A timid voice arose from behind, and as Chu Mo turned around, he saw Tao Yun looking constrained!
Turning his gaze to the middle-aged man, Chu Mo instructed:
"Danny, leave two here to serve, and let the others get back to their duties!"
"Yes, Mr. Chu!"
The middle-aged man named Danny, with a slightly hoarse voice, respectfully replied, bowed slightly and took two steps back before turning around and walking towards the rows of maids.
A moment later, once only two maids remained in the once slightly oppressive hall, the expressions of the girls became somewhat more relaxed!
The towering living room with a ceiling height of six meters and seventy centimeters spanned two stories. Even with rows of maids standing recently, the nearly two hundred square meter living room didn't feel the slightest bit crowded.
Only now, as the girls finally began to relax, did they begin to look around with interest.
At the entrance to the living room was a simple and elegant shoe cabinet.
To the right was an openwork screen that held white orchids, with a view that was both transparent and private.
The enormous crystal chandelier hanging overhead originated from Italy, and just this one chandelier alone was worth enough to exchange for an imported sedan.
The rosewood sofa also exuded an opulent and grand atmosphere.
Zhou Yuanyuan's gaze quickly fixated on a blue and white porcelain vase in the corner of the living room, her eyes reflecting a mix of doubt and astonishment.
As the group took their seats, the private butler Danny immediately came forward to inquire:
"What would you like to drink?"
Hungry and somewhat thirsty from the morning stroll, Chu Mo replied directly:
"Give me a bottle of mineral water. What about you guys?"
Tao Yun, who had gradually recovered her liveliness, said eagerly:
"We'll have mineral water too. It's a bit hot today, we've sweated a bit and are quite thirsty!"
Seeing the girls nod in unison, Danny respectfully retreated.
Now, without their earlier restraint and wearing expressions filled with an indescribable mood, a restless Tao Yun could not hold back and asked:
"Chu Brother, Xin'er just told me that you're a writer. I'm quite interested in literature. I wonder when I will be able to read your masterpieces!"
With eyes full of stars, Tao Yun looked on eagerly, while Song Xiaoxi muttered under her breath:
"Brown-noser!"
Hearing this, Chu Mo by her side was slightly stunned for a moment then immediately waved his hand:
"I just write casually, it's nothing worthy of high society. If you like, I can give you a few copies when I publish my book!"
"It's a deal then."
With a sweet smile on her face, Tao Yun straightened her chest slightly; beneath her pure white shirt, her graceful figure became even more tempting.
A maid with 85 out of 100 points in beauty brought over the drinks. Tao Yun, with a puzzled look, gently nudged her confidante with her elbow. She picked up a bottle of mineral water embellished with golden wings, with a golden Crown symbol on the cap, and raised her eyebrows at her friend, whispering into her ear:
"Yuan Yuan, why is this bottle so pretty!"
Zhou Yuanyuan, who had seemed somewhat absent-minded by her side, followed Tao Yun's gaze. When she noticed the mineral water in front of her, she lifted her eyebrows slightly and said quietly:
"The bottle's frosted decoration is made with Swarovski crystals and precious metal coating, it's said to be the world's most luxurious mineral water, of course it's pretty!"
Seeing her friend still making faces, Zhou Yuanyuan, knowing what was on her friend's mind, leaned in close and whispered in her ear:
"This mineral water comes from Kobe in Japan. The bottle in your hand costs 1580 RMB!"
Glancing over the seven or eight bottles of mineral water in front of her, and realizing that just these few bottles amounted to over ten thousand RMB, Tao Yun suddenly felt the urge to take out her phone and snap a photo to post on her social media!
The life of the rich is truly wonderful.
