Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The woman named Sima Fanghua walked leisurely toward the table by the window.

She was clad in a magnificent black gown, the hem adorned with gossamer that hinted at her graceful figure. The light breeze caused by her movements sent her hair fluttering into the air, with a few strands across her face, appearing casual yet seductive.

Around her neck she wore a purple crystal that glowed faintly, making her skin as white as snow, as if a Heavenly Immortal had descended to earth.

In just a moment, the woman arrived in front of Chu Mo. Although they had met only once before, the stunning woman with the most beautiful smile spoke softly, like the sound of orchids:

"Mr. Chu, thank you for sending the diamond card."

The woman in front of him smiled sweetly, her entire being shining like stars in the night sky, bright and captivating.

Chu Mo, still seated, likewise curved the corners of his mouth into a smile. He had seen her swinging in the courtyard that morning and thought her as pure as a sprite. Now she stood before him, and with just a slight lift of the head, he could take in her visage completely.

Chu Mo noticed a light black pearl bracelet carelessly resting on the woman's wrist, accentuating her skin's soft glow. Her gaze carried a hint of pride, giving off a sense of inaccessibility.

Her gorgeous face, delicate features, and the slender eyebrows arching over indifferent yet pure eyes; her straight nose, and lips red as if touched by rouge, made her even more stunning from up close, where Chu Mo could detect a faint scent of gardenia coming from her!

With a soft breath, inhaling the enticing fragrance, Chu Mo chuckled lightly:

"I don't even know your name, Miss. I regret that I had caused you inconvenience without asking permission first."

"Mr. Chu is too formal. In Zhongzhou, who doesn't know of Mr. Chu's reputation? Having you as a neighbor is my honor. My surname is Sima; you may simply call me Fanghua," she said.

The woman in the glamorous evening gown beamed radiantly, before glancing briefly at Liu Manli beside her and nodding:

"I won't disturb Mr. Chu's meal any longer. Do visit my home when you have the time!"

With those words, the woman made no further delay, slightly bowed, then turned and left gracefully.

As the woman returned to her friends, Liu Manli, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke:

"So, she's from the Sima family, no wonder she looked familiar."

Chu Mo slightly furrowed his brows, his mind racing, yet he couldn't recall a prominent Sima family from Zhongzhou.

Seeing Chu Mo's expression, Liu Manli took it upon herself to explain,

"The Sima family's business is not in Zhongzhou. They started in the beverage industry and wield considerable influence there.

Last year, Sima Zhiheng was ranked twenty-ninth on the Forbes list, with a net worth of fifteen billion. And that Sima Fanghua is the eldest heiress of the Sima family."

Chu Mo nodded slightly. None of this was a surprise to him. He had already considered that those who could buy villas in Imperial View were bound to be some top tycoons. Given the number two villa was second in price only to the number one villa, its owner's net worth would undoubtedly be in the billions. Now that he knew the owner of the number two villa is the heiress of the Sima family, Chu Mo found nothing amiss.

As they conversed in low voices, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly stood up and headed straight toward them.

At several dining tables beside Chu Mo, more than a dozen tall bodyguards in black immediately went on alert. Each possessed formidable strength; should the suited man show the slightest odd move, the closest bodyguard would restrain him within a second.

At that moment, the man in the suit seemed to have noticed the unfriendly looks from the bodyguards. He very consciously stopped two meters away from Chu Mo, then said with a smile:

"Good evening, sir and madam. My name is Liang Qiuyi, chairman of the Extraordinary Company. Our company specializes in providing top-tier services to successful individuals like yourselves. Here, I would like to introduce to you our company's latest premiere product, Alba White Truffle—it's known as the 'King of the World's Delicacies' and can be considered an edible diamond. I wonder if you two might be interested!"

Chu Mo inspected the middle-aged man before him.

Approximately in his early forties, the man had an average build and a medium height, but a notably large nose. With a mysterious smile on his face, he appeared neither arrogant nor servile. Being calm under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen top-level bodyguards showed his courage.

Chu Mo had long transcended the pursuit of wealth. What interested him most now were the rarest of treasures, whether it be Spirit Rhyme Tea worth a hundred million per catty or various rare gourmet foods.

Noticing the man's refined demeanor, Chu Mo didn't ask the bodyguards to drive him away. Nodding slightly at him, Chu Mo said casually:

"It takes some guts to actively seek out clients at the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel. Alright, I'll give you one minute. You have one minute to convince me. If when the time is up, I'm still uninterested, then from now on, you'll be listed as an unwelcome guest by every five-star hotel in the entire Zhongzhou. You will lose access to the top clientele in Zhongzhou."

Upon hearing this, the man calling himself Liang Qiuyi slightly narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Chu Mo, trying to discern any information from the depths of Chu Mo's eyes. To his surprise, Chu Mo's gaze was utterly sincere, as if he didn't take Liang seriously at all.
