Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 361 - 250: The World of the Tycoon (Begging for Subscriptions)
Chapter 361: Chapter 250: The World of the Tycoon (Begging for Subscriptions)
Chu Mo’s words fell, and the other party shook her head. The woman named He Xinyi spoke earnestly,
“You’re the first. No man has ever made my heart beat this fast, and I have never actively pursued any boy. You are the most special.”
A hint of a smile tugged at Chu Mo’s lips. He wanted to laugh, but the laugh wouldn’t come out.
Being confessed to so passionately by a girl was truly a first-time experience in his life.
Of course, his good mood did not last long, as Yuan Yuan immediately poured cold water on the situation,
“Xinyi, you can’t be serious, right? When the girlfriends introduced boyfriends to you, you dismissed this one and that one. Not to mention, though this little puppy is quite handsome, can he match up to that Qu Shao I introduced you to before?
“Qu Shao’s family is in advertising design, owning over a dozen branches, with assets worth tens of billions. Even if it’s between two brothers, Qu Shao will inherit twenty or thirty billion in the future.
Rejecting the prospect of being a wealthy young madam for a puppy spellbound you? Are you still the He Xianzi we know?”
Yuan Yuan’s words fell, and she suddenly grabbed He Xinyi’s hand tightly, pulling her harshly away from Chu Mo’s side, and finally gave Chu Mo a fierce glance, saying coldly,
“I’m warning you, our Xinyi is just too pure, it’s only her overflowing sympathy, feeling sorry for you. Don’t be too full of yourself, and remember, this circle isn’t as simple as a little wolf dog like you imagines. Leave quickly if you know what’s good for you; otherwise, getting your limbs broken would be getting off lightly!”
The small disturbance had obviously attracted the attention of many people, not just tourists but also the gazes of the billionaire Lu Zhenhao and the young man at the Heart of the Ocean display across the way.
As a top socialite, He Xinyi obviously did not want to attract so much attention. Her wrist was grabbed by her best friend, and she did not want to make any grand gestures to draw attention to herself, so she did not argue, but was helplessly pulled to the side by Yuan Yuan.
Just at that moment, the corridor leading from the third floor to the fourth burst into another stir, and shortly after, a handsome young man walked into the fourth-floor exhibition hall.
The young man appeared to be in his mid-twenties, about 1.77 meters tall with short hair, and he had an unassuming and humble air about him, as if he were just another youth among the crowd; someone who would not attract a second glance if thrown into a group.
Yet it was this seemingly ordinary young man who, upon entering the fourth-floor exhibition hall, brought a sudden stillness to the previously slightly noisy hall. Soon after, several top magnates immediately gathered around the young man.
“Master Liu, what an honor to meet you.”
This jewelry exhibition had invited fifteen billionaires, of whom three had assets over a hundred billion. Lu Zhenhao was ranked second amongst the three, while the top position went to the young man before them.
The sole heir to Capital City’s Liu’s Group, Liu Wei!
Lu Zhenhao was in the jewelry business with personal assets of thirty-nine billion and five hundred million, which was three billion more than Sun Shangwu of the Magic Capital with thirty-six billion.
In last year’s Forbes list, Lu Zhenhao was ranked forty-ninth.
He was one of the top-tier billionaires within the top fifty of the Forbes list.
However, in the presence of the Liu family of Capital City, even with assets nearly four hundred billion, Lu Zhenhao seemed insignificant.
The Liu family was not listed in Forbes, but if they were willing, with four thousand billion in assets, they would surpass Zhang Dahua’s two thousand nine hundred billion, changing the titleholder of Hua Country’s richest person.
As the sole heir to the Liu family of Capital City, Liu Wei might appear humble with no airs about him, but no one could ignore his presence.
At only twenty-six, Liu Wei was quickly surrounded by a crowd of billionaires worth tens or hundreds of billions. Although he was the youngest among them, even Lu Zhenhao, with assets of thirty-nine billion, was still eagerly and politely interacting with him.
The Lu family was in the jewelry business and had significant cooperation with the Liu family. In the future, with Liu Wei at the helm, they would have to rely on his favor, so naturally, there would be no slights due to his young age.
If even Lu Zhenhao, worth thirty-nine billion, had to treat him warmly, then the refined young man, Yuan Yuan’s boyfriend Su Can, naturally had to be even more cautious.
The atmosphere of the entire fourth-floor hall became more somber due to the arrival of Master Liu of the Liu family.
The top-tier billionaires gathered around young Master Liu, carefully interacting, while those who came purely for the excitement were even less daring to make a sound, lest they disturb the dignitaries.
Meanwhile, Yuan Yuan, whose attention had been captured, finally released her best friend’s wrist. She subconsciously took out a small mirror to adjust her appearance, then glanced at her boyfriend, who could only stand on the periphery smiling obsequiously near young Master Liu, and sighed softly,
“Xinyi, see? That is what a true top-tier young master looks like. If you could get close to Master Liu of the Liu family, not to mention the Heart of the Ocean, even taking this twelve-billion jade necklace would be no issue, right?
Compared to Master Liu, your little puppy is nothing at all! Wake up.”

He Xinyi’s gaze also swept over young Master Liu. Her best friend’s boyfriend, Su Can, whom she took pride in, didn’t even have the right to speak in the presence of young Master Liu.
This was the chasm, an insurmountable gap in reality.
He Xinyi’s gaze returned to Chu Mo. She saw that Chu Mo was completely uninterested in the group of top billionaires and was still inspecting the jade necklace before him. A sigh rose within her, but soon her impulsive feelings had faded.
She quietly observed young Master Liu, who was the center of attention, with numerous top-tier billionaires revolving around him. Young Master Liu rarely spoke, usually just nodding his head, and all the once haughty magnates around him would flatter him with laughter and smiles.
Perhaps this was the depth that a true top-tier noble young master commands.
Unassuming and discreet, yet he was in control of the entire scene.
Although He Xinyi was considered a top socialite in the eyes of ordinary people, her family’s fortune was merely in the tens of billions. This was nothing compared to those with hundreds of billions, and certainly not on the same level as Liu’s Group’s trillion yuan empire.
She sighed softly and then turned her gaze back to Chu Mo.
Unlike the bustle around the Heart of the Ocean’s display, the station showcasing the finale emerald necklace was quiet, with only Chu Mo observing it.
Dressed casually, Chu Mo stood calm and composed, tall and well-proportioned, with a posture both upright and robust.
Chu Mo’s face, chiseled as if by a sculptor’s knife, was framed by golden glasses. Beneath them, his eyes conveyed an air of serene refinement. In terms of appearance alone, he was leagues ahead of the young heir of the Liu family.
But when it came to wealth and status, he didn’t even have the right to stand in front of his best friend’s boyfriend, Su Can, who came from a family worth tens of billions, let alone the Liu family heir.
A soft sigh escaped He Xinyi, and a tinge of wistfulness suddenly arose in her heart.
Even though the Liu family heir was worth a hundred billion, she felt nothing for him, whereas the young man in front of her, with his scholarly air, could make her heart race and fill her with a desire to melt into him. Yet he was just an ordinary ‘little puppy’…
As her best friend had said, being with him was fine for fun, but to make it to the end together would likely involve overcoming numerous obstacles.
Give up?
Looking at his tall and handsome figure, He Xinyi couldn’t help feeling unwilling.
Be together?
But the disparity between their statuses was so great, and even if it were only about getting her parents’ approval, it would probably be impossible.
While He Xinyi was caught in a turmoil of emotions, at the Heart of the Ocean display, several of the top billionaires moved as Liu Wei moved.
When Liu Wei casually made his way to the final showcase for the emerald necklace, he glanced at Chu Mo, who was standing to one side.
Then, just for an instant, this top heir, the one everyone flattered, suddenly widened his eyes.
The sole heir to Liu’s Group, the future inheritor of four hundred billion in assets, appeared to have seen something unbelievable; his eyes bulged, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Following his gaze, several billionaires worth tens to hundreds of billions also turned their attention to Chu Mo.
Among them, Lu Zhenhao, who had a previous encounter with Chu Mo, looked at him thoughtfully, his eyes reflective.
And the young man named Su Can was also gaping, a different kind of gleam in his eyes.
During this moment of silence, a young woman named Yuan Yuan suddenly grabbed her best friend’s wrist at the side of the stand, her eyes intently fixed on Chu Mo, who was the center of everyone’s attention. She opened her mouth slightly, but her body froze.
Then, in He Xinyi’s own wide eyes, Liu Wei, the heir to the Capital City’s Liu family, approached the ‘little puppy’ before her.
This heir, surrounded by all the top tycoons, the future master of four hundred billion in assets, lightly approached the handsome young man, slightly bowed, and said with a hint of unease,
“Mr. Chu, I wasn’t aware of your presence, apologies for not welcoming you sooner.”
…
Suddenly, He Xinyi felt a sharp pain where her best friend was gripping her wrist.
She turned her head and glanced at her best friend, only to find that the one who usually boasted about how great her boyfriend was now looked at He Xinyi with a bitter expression.
Regret filled her best friend’s eyes, and she seemed utterly disheartened.
He Xinyi withdrew her wrist from her best friend’s grasp, and her gaze returned to the ‘little puppy’ she had just held in her arms.
If her best friend hadn’t dragged her away forcefully, she might still be by his side, close to him.
And so, He Xinyi stared blankly at the handsome young man, watching how he remained calm and composed before all the top magnates.
After a moment, the young man, whom she had thought of as a little puppy, suddenly waved at her. Under He Xinyi’s infatuated gaze, he smiled at her with eyes shining with a gentle, spring-like warmth.
Ah~!
At that moment, He Xinyi felt-like she was truly about to melt.
