Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 52: Chapter 050 Interlude

This question wasn't actually very difficult to answer. Excluding his cousin Chu Xiner and the completely unfamiliar Su Xiaoya seated opposite him, his choices were limited to Song Xiaoxi with her crescent-moon eyes, the youthful-looking Tao Yun, and the icy beauty Zhou Yuanyuan.

To be honest, Chu Mo hadn't paid much attention to the three girls before. Even while having lunch with them, he had been more focused on his cousin Chu Xiner. After parting ways with them, he got caught up with various things, and naturally, he had no time to think about them.

However, when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan's sweet and sunny smile earlier, Chu Mo indeed felt a flash of awe. That moment of heart-fluttering was definitely not feigned, so the answer came forth quite readily.

"Yes, I have!"

As his words fell, the expressions of the girls around him immediately changed.

The game continued, and it was Zhou Yuanyuan's turn to ask a question. Without any hesitation, the girl with a hint of coldness in her eyes pondered and said:

"Chu Mo, your profession isn't as simple as a freelance writer, is it?"

This wasn't easy to answer. Should he reveal that his profession was solely that of a wealthy person who enjoyed spending money?

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Mo, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, replied:

"Indeed, I am just someone who writes articles."

As his words fell, he once again voluntarily lifted the cup in front of him and drained it in one gulp. Adding to the several cups he had drunk by himself and the two he had shared with Tao Yun when he arrived, Chu Mo had now consumed over a dozen cups in a row. His head, not used to much alcohol, began to feel slightly dizzy.

But finally, it was his turn. Shaking his head slightly, Chu Mo turned his gaze to the icy woman beside him and asked casually:

"Do you have even the slightest feeling for me?"

"No!"

Her response was quick and decisive. Just as Chu Mo was about to shake his head with a wry smile, the girl beside him took the initiative to drink a cup of alcohol!

So, the answer was affirmative!

Having obtained the answer he had wanted, Chu Mo, now content, lost the interest to continue playing. He waved his hand and, standing up with a slight smile, said:

"How about we call it quits here?"

Chu Mo spoke casually. Zhou Yuanyuan, who hadn't been very enthusiastic to begin with, nodded in agreement, and Chu Xiner, not inclined to object, was similarly agreeable. The somewhat absent-minded Tao Yun did not disagree either. Once Song Xiaoxi left her seat as well, only Su Xiaoya was left sitting there, staring blankly.

She didn't quite understand why everyone listened to that guy so easily...

Just as the group was breaking up, a handsome young man suddenly walked over. The short-haired man dressed in luxury brands carried a nonchalant but composed aura.

Having just arrived in the corner booth, the man who sat down next to Zhou Yuanyuan chuckled and said:

"I've been watching you ladies have so much fun, it's made me quite envious. How about you add me to the mix?"

The short-haired young man looked to be in his early twenties, with a somewhat effeminate face that gave him a gentle puppy-dog vibe.

However, as the man took his seat, Zhou Yuanyuan subconsciously frowned and unconsciously moved a little closer to Chu Mo's position.

Of course, Chu Mo had already noticed this man who had been chatting and laughing beside Zhou Yuanyuan.

Initially, Chu Mo hadn't paid much attention to him, but now...!

Since he had developed feelings for Zhou Yuanyuan, he naturally couldn't allow such a risky element to appear by her side!

Chu Mo, who had already left the scene, sat back down on the couch, his eyes calmly observing the man sitting across from him, and said casually:

"The girls are tired of playing, I'll keep you company!"

The youth with short hair slightly frowned, a mocking smile flashing across his delicate cheeks. However, because he was being watched by many people, he managed to keep his cool and said lightly,

"That's fine, but just drinking is so boring, why don't we make it more interesting? How about dice? The winner drinks, and the loser pays 10,000 RMB per glass. How does that sound?"

The short-haired youth's eyes held a challenge, as if afraid that Chu Mo wouldn't dare to agree. He deliberately raised his voice, drawing the attention of many nearby. Under their gaze, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of controlling the situation.

That's why Chu Mo liked dealing with these straightforward second-generation rich—it saved time and hassle!

He had no desire to play a slow game of cat and mouse with him and without the slightest hesitation, a smile even flashing in his eyes, Chu Mo said straight out,

"The stakes are too low, not interesting. Let's play bigger."

Then, with the short-haired boy raising his eyebrows, Chu Mo took an agate worth 13 million out of his pocket and placed it on the table, smiling as he said,

"This thing's worth thirteen million. If you don't recognize it, you can go and have it appraised."

Before the youth could frown, Chu Mo rolled up his left sleeve, took off the 5002 on his wrist, and placed it on the coffee table in front of him, still speaking evenly,

"You should recognize this, 5002, worth seventeen million!"

Faced with Chu Mo's actions, a hint of emotion finally showed in the youth's eyes as he sat up straighter. With eyes slightly narrowed and a smile at the corners, Chu Mo took out a black card from his pocket and said with a heavier tone,

"Centurion, you must recognize. Maybe your elders even have one. It has a billion in the account, my pocket money for two weeks... So, how do you want to play with me?"

Chu Mo's expression was calm as water, while the originally composed youth across from him began to grow restless.

When the youth's unwilling gaze fell on Zhou Yuanyuan, Chu Mo, with slightly raised eyebrows, for once emphasized more heavily,

"If you care about Yuan Yuan's attitude, you needn't bother. Haven't you noticed? When she sat with you, Yuan Yuan didn't even glance at you. Yet when she was with me, you should have enjoyed her beaming smile just now.

So, is there anything else you're not satisfied with? Bring it up, and I'll help you resolve it."

Under the watchful eyes of several people in the corner, especially Zhou Yuanyuan's indifferent gaze, the youth could only sigh softly and leave despondently!

With a difference in worth by leaps and bounds, coupled with Zhou Yuanyuan's attitude, the youth knew he would suffer a terrible loss if he persisted.

Assured that the other party had given up, Chu Mo put his bank card away, put the watch back on, then handed the thirteen million agate to Chu Xiner. Still with a calm expression, he turned to Zhou Yuanyuan beside him and inquired,

"I heard you study financial management? I just happen to have something I want to consult with you about. I'm planning to buy a hotel, but it's being led by four old foxes. I think they see me as a fool with lots of money, so they only want my investment, without giving me any real power.

"After all, I did put in a decent amount of actual cash. How do you think I can get actual control of the hotel?"

Chu Mo's face was serious, which left Zhou Yuanyuan beside him somewhat confused about which was the real him.

After a moment's hesitation, remembering that he had helped her, Zhou Yuanyuan resolved to earnestly give him some advice. She sat up straight, her eyes full of sincerity, and said softly,

"I only know some theory, but if you're willing to listen, then I'll just share some of my thoughts..."

In the corner where a man and a woman whispered softly, Su Xiaoya, who had watched the whole event, gently patted her friend beside her and said with a complex expression,

"Xiao Yun, did you already know his identity?

Tell me, was that 450,000 RMB bracelet real?"
