Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 363 - 252: The Underdog’s Counterattack

Chapter 363: Chapter 252: The Underdog’s Counterattack

Amidst the murmurs around him, Chu Mo looked away from the emerald necklace for the first time.

He glanced casually at Liu Wei, the eldest son of the Liu family beside him,

Half a month ago, at the racing track in Magic City, it was this same Liu Wei who had stood opposite him, and afterward, by virtue of his 26 million Koenigsegg, he had apologized to Prince Ben Hesed, and Chu Mo spared him.

But to be honest, at that time on the race track, most of the rich second-generation kids were involved because of a brain-dead rich fellow named Fei Gang.

Most of them did not even say a word, and in the end, aside from Liu Wei and Wu Yaoming’s cousin—that girl who ended up in Chu Mo’s car—everyone else was banished by their families.

Even Yang Xiulu, the third young master of a trillion-yuan family fortune, was confined to his home.

This showed how big of a stir the event caused in the social circles of Magic City’s second generation.

In reality, there was no serious grievance between Chu Mo and Liu Wei.

His gaze merely swept over Liu Wei quite indifferently, and a slight nod served as a greeting.

“Mr. Chu, if there’s anything else you fancy in the exhibition hall, feel free to take it, it’s all on me, Liu Wei,” he said.

For Liu Wei, giving away a top-tier emerald necklace worth 1.2 billion yuan was no big deal, let alone the jewelry valued in the tens or millions yuan range in the exhibition hall; to him, these were akin to spare change.

This man was the first Chu Mo had met who was willing to spend so freely on him!

Indeed, today’s experience was complete.

He had not only met a woman willing to spend tens of millions to buy him a diamond ring, but also a wealthy heir eager to give him an emerald necklace worth hundreds of millions!

Of course, none of these meant anything to Chu Mo.

Ten years ago, in high school, he wouldn’t accept a 2.5-yuan bottle of Coca-Cola from his female deskmate, and a few months earlier, at a private clubhouse, one of the four young masters of Magic City had offered him a private helicopter and even a private jet worth 500 million yuan. He paid for them just the same, so how could he possibly accept such valuable gifts without reason now?

To Chu Mo, money was actually trivial; he owned an unlimited bank card and lacked nothing financially.

What mattered more to him were personal connections.

He turned his gaze to He Xinyi, who had been pulled away, standing in the corner opposite him. Just two minutes earlier, this woman had been enthusiastically clinging to his wrist, and anyone could see the affection in her eyes—even a fool.

Now, as he saw that top-tier socialite in custom clothing, still looking at him ardently, Chu Mo gestured to her softly, his eyes sparkling unusually.

He remembered accompanying Geng Pan, the heir of the Rothschild family, to a small food street near the University of Science and Technology. In a noodle shop, he had met a very interesting girl.

The senior girl, Liu Shiyin, was quirky and bold in love. She hit it off with Chu Mo and enjoyed the unreserved time spent with him before she knew his real identity.

Later, however, when she found out who he really was, she became cautious and was no longer as lively and adorable as before.

Similarly, He Xinyi, the top-level socialite, had been assertive and took the initiative without concern for Chu Mo’s feelings, even going as far as to hug him tightly. She later offered to buy him a diamond ring worth millions.

But now, knowing Chu Mo’s true identity, and realizing that he wasn’t the ordinary ‘pet dog’ she was seeking, Chu Mo was curious if she would become the next Liu Shiyin.

If her attitude toward him changed out of caution and fear because of his status, if she became overly compliant, then she would become just an ordinary presence like the maids around him, no longer able to provide that sense of freshness or attract Chu Mo’s attention.

Therefore, when Chu Mo beckoned to He Xinyi, his eyes carried a bright and tender smile, his demeanor sunny and radiant.

He hoped the woman opposite wouldn’t change her attitude because of his status.

He hoped she would continue to be assertive and take the initiative.

Then, amidst Chu Mo’s eager anticipation, He Xinyi in the corner, her delicate cheeks instantly flushed, her eyes filled with tender affection, akin to rippling water!

Stepping forward in her pale pink high heels, He Xinyi moved with the pride and composure of a swan taking flight, gracefully walking up to Chu Mo.

Once there, just like before, she took his arm, her face flushed and body hot; she held on tightly, as if she wanted to fuse Chu Mo into her very being.

Chu Mo’s eyes held a smile as he quietly savored the astonishing softness from his arm; then he turned to Liu Wei, the heir of the Liu family beside him, and said with a light chuckle:

“Mr. Liu appreciates the kind gesture, but please, there’s no need for Mr. Liu to go to such expense. Besides, I heard the jewelry on display at this exhibition is not for sale. However, there are a few items I have taken a liking to, so I’ll have to trouble Mr. Liu to speak with the owner of the exhibition. It might be difficult to persuade them to part with those pieces.”

The eldest young master of the Liu family hesitated slightly. Initially, giving away items worth over ten billion had indeed been a painful decision. Now that Chu Mo didn’t want them, he felt a sense of loss. If he could use this opportunity to cultivate a good relationship with Chu Mo, it might bring significant benefits to the entire Liu family. However, since Chu Mo was not accepting his goodwill, the eldest young master of the Liu family didn’t dare to insist.

He nodded slightly, and Liu Wei, who was half a head shorter than Chu Mo, said earnestly,

“Rest assured, Mr. Chu. Take whatever you like; I’ll negotiate with the owner of the exhibit hall!”

Chu Mo didn’t stand on ceremony. He casually pointed to a top-grade diamond necklace in front of him valued at twelve billion, and then gestured toward the Heart of the Ocean across the hallway, worth one billion two hundred million, saying indifferently,

“These two pieces, and there is also a diamond bracelet worth twenty-seven million in exhibition hall number three that’s not bad.”

As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, the eldest young master of the Liu family immediately nodded in agreement.

It was at that moment that Chu Mo suddenly turned his gaze to the corner, where Yuan Yuan stood with a complex expression on her face.

This elegant young lady, dressed in collegiate fashion, looked at him with a complex expression. Chu Mo beckoned to her, and after a moment, Yuan Yuan, her handsome face full of conflict, gently approached him.

At the same time, the refined young man named Su Can was also staring wide-eyed. Worth only thirty-one billion, he was a mere outcast here, not even qualified to speak.

However, upon seeing his girlfriend appear beside Mr. Chu, his face filled with turmoil. Shortly after, the refined young man, with gritted teeth, still made his way to Yuan Yuan’s side. He bowed his head slightly, concern evident on his comely face.

Chu Mo looked closely at the striking young woman who had just belittled him as worthless. Now Yuan Yuan stood with her head bowed, her hands twisted tightly together, looking as if she were heading to the gallows.

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, but Chu Mo certainly didn’t possess the pettiness to settle scores with such a young girl.

He was far from being that narrow-minded.

His gaze shifted to the elegant man beside him, Su Can, who at over thirty years old looked rather constrained and no longer possessed his former composure.

Chu Mo nodded lightly and then, smiling at Lu Zhenhao, whose net worth was a hundred billion, said,

“Mr. Lu, this is a friend. I’ll need to rely on Mr. Lu to take good care of him in business!”

At his words, the sharp Lu Zhenhao immediately nodded his head. He had not had a chance to speak before, but now that Chu Mo had called on him, he naturally had to make a good impression in front of the many magnates present.

Worth three hundred and ninety billion, ranked forty-ninth on the Forbes list, Lu Zhenhao took the initiative to come forward. He patted Su Can on the shoulder warmly, and then with a smiling face, he said,

“Mr. Chu, rest assured, this young brother Su Can indeed has a good business mind. His suggestions about new and innovative business models are very constructive. Su, bring the contract to me later, and let’s strike while the iron is hot and get it signed today.”

The thirty-two-year-old Su Can immediately showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Given his net worth, he was virtually insignificant in front of a top-tier magnate like Lu Zhenhao. He had previously tried in vain to persuade him, but Lu Zhenhao was unmoved. Now, with just a few light words from Chu Mo, Lu Zhenhao had made the decision. How could Su Can not understand the implication?

Grasping his girlfriend Yuan Yuan’s hand, Su Can then bowed deeply to Chu Mo, saying,

“Mr. Chu, thank you for your guidance!”

Across from him, as Yuan Yuan’s face showed complex entanglement, by Chu Mo’s side, He Xinyi, who was clinging tightly to his arm, beamed with joy.

Before, among her group of friends, Yuan Yuan had been the most favored, solely because she had an outstanding boyfriend, Su Can.

Thirty-two-year-old Su Can was worth billions and considered quite a successful young man, plus with his handsome and tall stature, he was pretty popular among the group of ladies.

Now, her friend’s usually haughty and wealthy boyfriend had to bow his head in front of her own ‘puppy love.’

Just as He Xinyi was feeling sweet fulfillment, Chu Mo suddenly turned around. He pointed to the Heart of the Ocean displayed across the way and said in a calm voice,

“You seemed to like that gemstone necklace earlier, put it on later to see how it looks.”

As Chu Mo finished speaking, the light in He Xinyi’s eyes grew brighter, and she could no longer maintain her composure. She tiptoed gently and then softly pressed her red lips against Chu Mo’s face.

She was still the fiery little chili pepper.
