Trillionaire's Slice of Life

However, just as he had taken two steps away, the woman in the lavish evening gown suddenly spoke up: "Playing hard to get, or casting a long line to catch a big fish?" Chu Mo stopped for the second time, turned back, and glanced at the woman with the flamboyant makeup. To be fair, she didn't possess the kind of breathtaking beauty that stirred something in Chu Mo. Even with the aid of lighting, the right atmosphere, and alcohol, this woman, known as Xiao Qi, had a beauty score of just ninety at most. What's more, her makeup was too flamboyant, somewhat akin to that exaggerated smoky eye look. Anyway, from Chu Mo's perspective, he couldn't stand a girl who dressed herself up like this. But, since he was bored anyway, Chu Mo took one last look at the woman with the snow-white skin and ultimately decided to turn back and sit across from her. "My name is Chu Mo. May I ask how the lady addresses herself?" The most common conversation starter, which caused the woman across to purse her lips slightly and then, the flirtatiously made-up woman teased: "You're the seventeenth man who's hit on me in the bar tonight, the same approach, but the most original one. However, your conversation starter is really not very clever... My name is Xiao Qi, everyone calls me Miss Qi, and you may too. By the way, how much do you pay these bodyguards a month? They look like they're pretty tough!" Chu Mo glanced at the brandy on the table, which he certainly couldn't get used to, so he gave Fang Lihu a slight nod. Fang Lihu immediately turned and headed towards the booth opposite. After a moment, Fang Lihu arrived with two wine glasses and a bottle of Heidsieck in hand. He poured half a glass for both Chu Mo and the woman before respectfully stepping aside. Chu Mo raised his wine glass and took a light breath: "Was that your friend just now?" The woman, still holding her glass of white liquor, didn't accept the red wine from Chu Mo and just smiled slightly: "You mean Zhao Yin? He's a department head in my dad's company. He wants to be a phoenix male who rises above, so he deliberately tries to please me. Let's not talk about him; it's a buzzkill. Let's talk about you instead. What does your family do? Why are you approaching me? You aren't from Changshou Pharmaceutical Company, are you? They're our family's archenemy." Chu Mo gave a wry smile and shook his head; he didn't expect the girl in front of him to have such wild thoughts! However, he found Changshou Pharmaceutical Company somewhat familiar as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't recall at the moment and didn't want to waste brain cells thinking about it, so he stopped pondering. Seeing that the woman across was holding onto her glass of white liquor and not touching his Heidsieck, a wine worth millions, Chu Mo smiled faintly, realizing she must be guarding against him possibly drugging her—a rather calculative person indeed. Chu Mo didn't point it out and instead sipped the top-notch red wine by himself. Just then, a commotion suddenly arose nearby, and he turned his head toward the source of the chaos. He saw a familiar figure striding over! Towering over six feet tall, the handsome young man with a perfect figure and a smiling face was coming his way. As he approached, he whispered something to his entourage, and in a moment, his chubby middle-aged lackey immediately nodded in approval and then loudly announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy yourselves tonight, all expenses will be covered by the young master Lin Feng!" The middle-aged man's coarse voice overcame the booming music for a moment, and after a brief silence, the whole bar erupted into cheers and excited chatter. Despite the flickering lights of the bar, Chu Mo was certain now that the young man making his way towards him was none other than Lin Feng, the young master of the Lin family! In Capital City, the four major families were household names, and among them, the most reputable was the Lu family, represented by the esteemed Elder Lu of Capital City! And when it came to the Lin family, many people might pause briefly before recalling the Supreme Jewelry Store. The Lin family, as the foremost among the four great families of the magic capital with assets exceeding three hundred billion, is also a huge family with centuries of inheritance. Its historical heritage and family scale far surpass the other three great families! Within the four great families, whether it's the Zhou family, the Wu family, or the Lu family, their assets are all around one hundred billion. Only the Lin family has assets exceeding three hundred billion, and it could be said that the Lin family alone is equivalent to the total of the other three families. Although the Lin family has abundant assets, compared to the other three great families, it is exceptionally low-key. Whether it's the Lin Family Head Lin Youzhi or the eldest son of the Lin family Lin Feng, they rarely do anything outrageous and even their public appearances are scarce. In such a situation, many people in the magic capital assume that the Lin family is the weakest among the four great families. However, the reality is quite the opposite. Chu Mo and the Lin Family Head Lin Youzhi were old acquaintances. They had numerous accounts with each other. The painting from master Van Gogh in his home was a gift from Lin Youzhi. It could be said, had it not been for the manipulation of the eight great families, Chu Mo's relationship with the Lin family would have been the closest, and similarly, had the Lin family not betrayed, the Fang family wouldn't have found the chance to rise. All of this could be said to be karmic retribution. Compared to Lin Youzhi, Chu Mo knew very little about this Lin family eldest son Lin Feng. The first time they met was because of Wu Yaoming. At that time, at the club, when the four young masters of the magic capital were all present with private planes and yachts as gifts, it was all to reconcile himself with Wu Yaoming. At that time, Chu Mo's sole impression of the Lin family eldest son was that he was refined and courteous, a graceful gentleman! Afterward, whether it was a duel with the various young masters on the magic capital's racetrack or at the luxury yacht party at sea, Chu Mo and this Lin family eldest son merely nodded in greeting, without even an exchange of words. Chu Mo and Lin Feng were of similar age and temperament. If it weren't for the opposition with the Lin family, the two could possibly have become good friends. However, the reality was that the two families had completely fallen out, reaching a point of life and death, and naturally, they could never return to their original relationship! Chu Mo's mind raced. At this moment, he was considering whether Lin Feng's visit was a chance encounter or if the Lin family had received some intel and deliberately sent the Lin family eldest son to probe. If it were the former, then everything was fine, but if the latter sensed something, Chu Mo would have to wonder if there was a spy in his midst. Otherwise, his meeting with Yang Duoer was supposed to be top-secret and should not have leaked! While Chu Mo was deeply contemplating, the beautiful young woman who had been sitting across from him suddenly stood up! This young lady, called Xiao Qi, eagerly looked at Lin Feng as he walked over. Once he approached, the young woman excitedly said, "Eldest Young Master Lin, hello, I am Xiao Qi. We met before at your wine reception!" The Lin family eldest son clearly didn't remember this young lady named Xiao Qi. From his slightly puzzled eyes, it could be discerned that in their circle, she must be of the lowest rank, definitely not worth remembering for the Lin family eldest son. However, what was different from before was that Lin Feng clearly saw this self-proclaimed Xiao Qi coming from Chu Mo's side. Just now, he clearly saw Chu Mo and Xiao Qi sitting together, chatting and laughing. Lin Feng could disregard all the second and third generations of his peers, but in the face of Chu Mo, he didn't have any grounds for arrogance. So, when the young lady named Xiao Qi joyfully came to his side, according to the Lin family eldest son's usual temperament, he would have been silent and walked past her with high profile. But now, as if he had met the most honored friend, the Lin family eldest son's face was full of smiles. He took the initiative to nod in greeting to the young lady before him, and then, amid the young lady's excitement, the Lin family eldest son casually walked up to Chu Mo. He extended his hand and said in a very serious tone, "Young Master Chu, we meet again!"
