Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"That heart jade necklace...!" Chu Mo opened his mouth, intending to say that the heart jade necklace was meant for Sun Qiuman, but as the words reached the tip of his tongue and he saw the excitement on the girl's face before him, he decided to hold back the rest of his sentence. "This heart jade is truly magical, wearing it makes the whole body feel warm. I really like it, even though the price tag of 110,000 RMB has completely drained all the pocket money I've saved over the years, but I really do like it." The tall girl named Xu Shanshan extended her fair and delicate hand, her slim jade-like fingers gently caressing the magical stone around her neck, looking utterly thrilled. This heart jade, valued at five hundred million and able to keep its wearer warm in winter and cool in summer, was indeed not something an ordinary girl could pull off. Fortunately, the girl before him had a tall figure, combined with her snowy skin and the tender, slender neck, did not seem at all incongruous when adorned with this heart jade emitting a magical glow. The girl's words made Chu Mo furrow his brows slightly, as he started to understand why the heart jade had ended up in Xu Shanshan's hands. Originally, the heart jade, worth five hundred million, was auctioned for only a hundred thousand RMB, which was virtually the same as giving it away. A hundred thousand RMB meant little to Chu Mo and the various princes and princesses, but for university senior girls like Xu Shanshan and Sun Qiuman, it was an enormous sum beyond measure. Sun Qiuman was of common family background, where the most valuable thing she owned was a necklace given to her by Geng Pan. Besides that, she only had a monthly allowance of two thousand RMB, and all her assets combined were just several thousand RMB. In such a situation, it was impossible for Sun Qiuman to bid at the auction. The girl named Xu Shanshan before him clearly came from a well-off family, with her monthly allowance several times that of Sun Qiuman's, and her saved pocket money from over the years happened to be exactly 110,000. This explained why she could not resist bidding when no one else at the auction hall was offering a price. Chu Mo had originally thought that the three girls were together, with Xu Shanshan merely helping Sun Qiuman to bid. However, he had forgotten that a hundred thousand RMB, insignificant for his group, was an absolute fortune for the three young girls. Naturally, in this situation, since Xu Shanshan had paid the money, which nearly wiped out her savings of over twenty years, the heart jade naturally belonged to Xu Shanshan! After realizing all this, Chu Mo was no longer bothered by it. Everything that had occurred at the auction was due to his own presumptions; it was not fair to blame the Xu Shanshan before him. If he were to blame the girl, it would be unjustifiable. Chu Mo shook his head with a wry smile, and then, he stopped fretting over it. While the heart jade might be worth five hundred million and extremely valuable, Chu Mo would not go so far as to fall out with a young girl over it. He glanced at the exceptionally beautiful girl in front of him, who was sitting casually on the sofa, and then he spoke indifferently, "Did you come here to thank me? If so, I do indeed have a favor to ask of you!" In the exceedingly luxurious living room, Xu Shanshan, clad in a pink trench coat, pursed her lips lightly. Although she had prepared herself to offer everything upon entering the room, when faced with the reality, she couldn't help but waver and hesitate. However, she had already accepted the heart jade, worth five hundred million, and Xu Shanshan truly loved the magical heart jade. She knew that if she wanted to keep it, she had to agree to any request from the other party. At that moment, with her heart pounding like a deer, Xu Shanshan looked seriously at the handsome young man before her. Upon observing his sharply defined face and tall, upright stature, that tiny bit of resistance in her heart gradually vanished, and with a hint of hidden anticipation, she softly said, "I've said before, whatever the condition, I will agree to it!" Upon hearing this, Chu Mo's lips curled into a slight smile. He walked to the liquor cabinet in the hall, took out a bottle of top-shelf wine, opened it, poured a glass for each of them, and handed the stemmed glass to the girl, gently clinking his own against hers before taking a sip. He then spoke casually, "I hope you can get along with Sun Qiuman. You're in your final year now, and you'll graduate in half a year. No matter where Sun Qiuman goes, I want you to follow her. If there's any movement around her, you must report to me. Similarly, if she encounters any suitors or someone harboring ill intentions towards her, you must find ways to help her get rid of these people. If you can't handle it, you can ask me for help, and I'll take care of any trouble! In short, I need you to ensure Sun Qiuman's safety at all times! Of course, I won't let you do this for nothing; every month, I'll provide you with a stipend sufficient for all your expenses!" The red wine in her hand was aromatic and rich; this was one of the best presidential suites in Tianxiang Garden, where a night's stay cost 300,000 RMB. Naturally, the wines stored in this room were all treasures worth several hundred thousand each. The bottle that Chu Mo had opened was the famed Van Gogh red wine, ranked first among the top ten wines, priced at 560,000 RMB a bottle.
