Trillionaire's Slice of Life

However, in this café, whose main theme was quiet elegance, everyone spoke in hushed tones.

In a corner of the café, near the window, a fair-skinned woman dressed in a colorful off-shoulder dress fixed her gaze intently on the gentleman opposite her.

The atmosphere between the two was hardly delightful.

With delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, small red lips, and a pretty nose, the woman was extremely striking. Her loose hair cascaded over her shoulders, adding a touch of grace to her beauty.

With a delicate appearance, elegant demeanor, stubborn yet slightly shy manner of speaking, she inadvertently fostered a sense of endearment in those who saw her.

What caught most attention were her bright, sun-like phoenix eyes under long lashes, the tips pulling up sharply at the corners, giving off a sense that she viewed the world from the corner of her eye, even with a contemptuous, proud air.

But upon closer inspection, you could see a hint of panic and regret at the bottom of her eyes!

Clearly, she was a poise-forced flower blooming with a strong façade, pure and unsullied, fresh and elegant, with a heady fragrance.

Chu Mo, sitting quietly opposite her, did nothing more than raise his eyebrows slightly, showing no sign of being disconcerted by her provocative words or bold speech. He remained composed and inscrutable, betraying none of his true thoughts!

"Hey, do you dare or not? I, a girl, am not even concerned, what\'s a guy like you afraid of?"

The calm demeanor of Chu Mo seemed to infuriate the lady with the phoenix eyes even more. Shen Yaoyao, with a growing sense of annoyance replacing the panic in her eyes, provocatively said:

"Are you even a man?"

It was clearly child\'s play, like kids pretending at house.

After taking a gentle sip of the coffee in front of him, even the hint of amusement on Chu Mo\'s handsome face faded away without a trace. Refocusing on the laptop before him, Chu Mo said nonchalantly:

"I have an appointment later, so if there\'s nothing else, you can leave!"

As his indifferent words fell, ignoring the slightly chilled expression of the girl opposite him, Chu Mo found that his mindset had changed rapidly. It seemed that since having lunch with Chu Xiner, Tao Yun, and a few other girls the day before, he had gradually begun to feel at home in the luxurious villa and had fully accepted his current identity.

A few days earlier, Chu Mo, having just acquired an unlimited credit card, was bursting with arrogance, almost to the point of ignorance. Back then, if he had confronted the phoenix-eyed lady before him, he might have agreed to her proposition without a second thought!

A thirty-million-dollar sports car, to Chu Mo with an unlimited credit limit, was like a toy car worth three hundred dollars—merely a week\'s pocket money. To wager a week\'s allowance on a bet, lose and you\'re eating instant noodles for the week, win and you get to take a beauty home. It was a gamble that no sane man would refuse!

However, after these few days of a shifted perspective, Chu Mo\'s outlook on issues had begun to change.

His past self was merely viewing problems from the narrow perspective of the ignorant and fearless, but now, Chu Mo, bestowed with endless wealth, looked at issues from a much broader vantage point due to his different status and mindset.

Take the bet before him, for example!

If it were the Chu Mo from a few days ago, he might only see a sports car and the phoenix-eyed woman before him!

And now Chu Mo, what he saw in the depths of his eyes was the complex web of relationships behind this girl before him!

The girl in front of him was named Shen Yaoyao, and she had a father with a net worth of several billions, whose company just so happened to run into trouble!

In Chu Mo\'s eyes, the girl before him was no longer a simple and adorable girl, but rather a problematic tangle, intertwined with various complex relationships.

Naturally, the bet at hand was no longer just about a car and a girl!

For Chu Mo, who had infinite money and only wished to live a carefree life, getting involved in any trouble was a waste of his own life.

So at this moment, Chu Mo\'s mentality was calm and peaceful, and he wouldn\'t allow the girl before him to stir up the slightest ripple.

However, this indifference, in the eyes of Shen Yaoyao, was nothing but naked contempt and disdain!

The regret and panic that had initially been in her eyes were gradually replaced by annoyance. The girl with the charming phoenix eyes said coldly:

"So what you mean is, I, Shen Yaoyao, a living person, am not even worth a broken car?"

Because of her annoyance, the girl\'s chest rose and fell gently, and those originally slender phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the bright light in them turning into a dangerous signal!

This just goes to show that these hotheaded kids, who act solely on impulse, are the toughest to deal with!

Chu Mo was somewhat regretful: why had he decided to press the Aston Martin car key? He should have just let her leave quietly; it would have saved him all this trouble!

Indeed, although his mindset had changed somewhat, becoming a bit broader, his way of dealing with things was still not smooth enough, like now, where he had provoked a lawless second-generation rich kid for no good reason.

It was almost predictable that if the situation wasn\'t handled well now, endless trouble would follow!

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his sitting posture, Chu Mo looked calmly at the girl before him, his brain started working rapidly, and he spoke casually:

"I didn\'t mean to belittle you at all. You know I\'m not short on money, so naturally, I\'m not short on women either. I have no interest in women; on the contrary, I value money highly. Put simply, if you want me to accept the bet, you must put forward a stake of equivalent value, actual cash or material goods worth more than or equal to thirty million. Do you understand?"

To make the girl in front of him give up, Chu Mo told a small lie!

The truth was, Chu Mo had no interest in money at all; millions, billions, or even tens or hundreds of billions were just meaningless numbers to him. If he wanted, he could withdraw any amount of money from the bank at any time.

As the words fell, he had thought the other party would give up; after all, Chu Mo knew that she couldn\'t possibly bring out that much cash given her current situation.

However, the unexpected happened again—the girl, who had always been cherished and whose wishes were never contradicted, now had a look of defiance in her eyes!

"Fine, so you want items of equal value as chips, right? Wait and see!"

As she spoke, the girl yanked off the pendant around her neck and said with a cold expression:

"This is the Southern red agate my dad gave me for my eighteenth birthday; it\'s worth thirteen million. If you don\'t believe me, you can have someone appraise it right now!"

"Now you\'re still short by seventeen million!"
