Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Walking side by side under the verdant trees of the University of Science and Technology in the metropolis, Chu Mo and Liu Manli, in their casual attire, looked just like any other deeply in love couple found on campus. With their hands intertwined, their faces were filled with joyful smiles.

"If only time could be rewound, to return to our student days, that would be so wonderful. I haven't set foot in a school since high school. My memories of school are all from junior high and elementary school. Back then, I was most impressed by how I would sit alone in the last row of the classroom, putting on an air of having nothing to do. Looking back on it now, it was really quite silly."

The woman beside him, far from Hua Country's wealthiest female, now more closely resembled an ordinary young girl. Happiness, sorrow, and all her expressions were plainly visible on her face, without any hint of guile.

Chu Mo could clearly feel the warmth from the woman's body. His own student life had been truly ordinary, so much so that it failed to make even the slightest ripple.

If all his classmates from elementary school to university were gathered together now, there probably wouldn't be many who could still recognize him. After all, even during his school days, he had always been someone who hardly drew anyone's attention.

"Where shall we go? The library? Or maybe the basketball court?"

Liu Manli, her eyes bright and sparkling, gazed gently at Chu Mo. Hearing this, Chu Mo hesitated slightly. He stopped in his tracks and looked around, only to realize that he found the whole University of Science and Technology quite unfamiliar; he didn't even know where he was.

Although the University of Science and Technology was not as renowned as Fudan University, it still belonged at the lower tier of the top-tier institutions, with a campus area of nearly three thousand acres. Without knowledge of the layout, strolling the entire campus was no easy feat.

After a moment's hesitation, Chu Mo stopped. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and then sent a message to Tao Yun, that young girl.

Regardless of whether she was in class or doing something else, he sent her his location and asked her to come over immediately to lead the way.

"My cousin goes to this school. Just wait a moment; I'll have someone guide us."

Liu Manli by his side, naturally, had no objections. She looked left and right, saw a bench not far away, and, pulling Chu Mo along, headed towards it. She didn't immediately sit down; instead, Liu Manli took out a handkerchief from her pocket and meticulously wiped down the entire bench before sitting down with a happy face.

They didn't have to wait long. Before they had managed much conversation, a slender figure ran towards them, puffing and panting.

As the person approached, Tao Yun's crisp voice could be heard from afar:

"Brother Chu, you finally came...!"

Liu Manli, thinking Tao Yun was Chu Mo's cousin, got up to greet her with exceptional enthusiasm, approaching her from a distance.

"You must be Xin'er, right? I've heard Chu Mo speak of you before. You really are as pretty as he said!"

Liu Manli, holding Tao Yun's hand, had a gentle manner, but Tao Yun stood there with her mouth agape, clearly disbelieving as she looked at the gentle woman in front of her, momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, it was naturally Chu Mo's cue to intervene. He strolled up to the two women and then said with a smile:

"Manli, you've mistaken her; she's not Xin'er. Xin'er is a good student, who spends her days traveling between school, the library, and her dormitory. I didn't want to disturb her studies, so I didn't call her. This is Xin'er's roommate and best friend, Tao Yun. You can just call her Xiao Yun."

As Chu Jie finished speaking, he winked at the young girl with the youthful complection and then added with a smile:

"Xiao Yun, you don't need any introduction to Miss Liu here, do you? The third richest on the Forbes list, with a net worth of two hundred and seventy billion, the female magnate Liu Manli. If you don't recognize her, then your education would be wasted."

As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, Tao Yun, with her impressive figure, immediately responded with a beaming smile:

"So you're Sister Manli. I've often seen you on television and in the newspapers. Sister, you're even younger and prettier than you look on TV."

Tao Yun's sweet talk clearly flattered Liu Manli, who gently took the younger girl's hand. Then, removing a simple jade bracelet from her wrist, Liu Manli said with a smile in her eyes:

"Xiao Yun, you're pretty too. Since you've called me sister, I don't have any nice gifts to give you right now, but let this bracelet serve as a meeting gift from sister to sister. Don't be shy about accepting it!"

As soon as Liu Manli finished speaking, Tao Yun's gaze immediately turned to Chu Mo. She was confused about the relationship between Chu Mo and Liu Manli and naturally uncertain whether she should accept the bracelet that was clearly worth a fortune.

Chu Mo's lips curved into a slight smile. From the sparkling look in the young girl's eyes, he knew she must like the bracelet very much. The bracelet, possibly valued at millions, was insignificant to Liu Manli, who was worth hundreds of billions. To her, such an item was trivial and not worth mentioning, but to Tao Yun, it was an extraordinarily precious treasure.

Seeing that both women had turned their eyes to him, Chu Mo didn't think too much of it and nodded slightly.

With Chu Mo's approval, Tao Yun relaxed. She let Liu Manli put the bracelet on her wrist and then exclaimed joyfully:
