Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 166 Two Worlds

The weather was somewhat gloomy.

By the end of August, the sun was no longer scorching. At the moment, Chu Mo and his sister Chu Xiner were cooling off by the swimming pool at the entrance of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One.

There were only two more days until school started, marking the official end of Chu Xiner's two-month-long summer vacation training.

Chu Xiner's training over the past two months was fruitful. She used to be quite self-conscious, the kind who was too shy to lift her head before others.

However, at Bafang International Hotel, as a greeter, she had to welcome every guest with a smile; as a waitress, she had to serve customers; and as a lobby manager, she also needed to calmly solve various problems.

So after two months of training, she had gained a more confident demeanor.

At least, if it were two months earlier, she definitely would have been too embarrassed to wear a swimsuit and swim in front of him.

But after two months of training, even though she was still somewhat shy, she was able to carry herself gracefully without being affected by the gaze of the villa maids or Chu Mo's casual glances.

Chu Mo had just swum a couple of laps in the pool and was now lazily lying on a lounge chair to rest. The head maid, He Qing, was by his side helping him massage and relax his muscles, while Chu Xiner, who had just learned the breaststroke, was having a great time swimming.

In two days' time, Chu Xiner would officially become a third-year student.

Chu Mo had just received a message from Tao Yun, saying she would be back at school to report the next day.

After being separated from Tao Yun for two months, Chu Mo honestly missed that quirky little girl.

Chu Mo, holding his phone, casually chatted with Tao Yun for a bit and asked if she wanted him to send someone to pick her up, but the girl declined.

Chu Mo didn't insist; after telling her to take care on her journey, he exited the chat.

Nowadays with high-speed rails everywhere, the trips are quite safe, so there weren't that many bad people around for her to encounter, and Chu Mo didn't need to worry excessively.

Suddenly, he thought about Qin Zixuan. She was about to start school too. As a top student at Shui Mu University, she would be a senior when school resumed.

Previously, Qin Zixuan had expressed a desire to take a break from school and devote her full attention to helping Chu Mo with his work, which he naturally didn't agree with.

Shui Mu University was a top institution in Hua Country. Among those Chu Mo knew, Qin Zixuan had the best academic performance.

Qin Zixuan's family situation wasn't very good. Of course, with Chu Mo's help in the future, she wouldn't need to worry about her family issues.

According to Chu Mo's plan, Qin Zixuan should focus on her studies, follow up university with postgraduate studies, then pursue a PhD, and only after becoming a postdoctoral scholar should she think about working.

Of course, this was just Chu Mo's own wishful thinking; the final decision would still be up to Qin Zixuan herself.

"Brother, is it really okay that I didn't go home all summer?"

Tired from playing in the water, Chu Xiner got out of the pool, and immediately, a maid handed her a towel to wipe her wet hair. Unaccustomed to being served, Chu Xiner took the towel and began to dry herself off.

She sat down on the lounge chair beside Chu Mo, took a sip of the juice handed to her by the maid, and then softly inquired.

"I transferred twenty thousand yuan to your mom and said it was your salary for the good work you did these two months, and that the boss was pleased with you. After receiving the money, your auntie was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling—how could she care whether you came home or not?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiner, with a slightly dim expression on her face, uttered an 'oh' and said no more.

Seeing her apparently disappointed, Chu Mo let out a light sigh and then said:

"If you miss home, I can have someone fly you back in the helicopter parked in the yard. It's not too far from our house—just two hours away. You could spend the night at home today and still come back here in time tomorrow."

Hearing this, Chu Xiner turned to glance at the helicopter that had just landed in the yard yesterday, a complex look flashing in her eyes as she gently shook her head and responded:

"Anyway, school will start soon, and in at most a month, it'll be the National Day holiday. I'll wait until then to go back."

Chu Mo saw a hint of sorrow in her eyes and realized the girl was disappointed because her aunt and uncle didn't care too much about her.

Chu Mo had no solution for this; his uncle and aunt focused all their attention on their youngest son. In their eyes, Chu Xiner was just a girl destined to be married off and incomparable to a son who would inherit the family business.

Chu Mo hesitated for a moment and then suddenly suggested:

"How about this? Tomorrow Tao Yun will also be here. Let's go to the seaside in the afternoon. I recently bought a new yacht, and we can take it out to sea to experience the waves."

The girl sitting next to him brightened up. Naturally, she didn't doubt Chu Mo's words, and having been in the metropolis for two years, she had never had the time or energy to see the ocean despite its proximity.

Of course, as a girl from inland, she still yearned for the vast sea.

Seeing Chu Mo's gaze full of anticipation, Chu Xiner nodded firmly and then said:

"Then I need to prepare a swimsuit. I've heard the sun by the seaside is very harsh, so I should get some sunscreen. Right, I'm going to look up tips for seaside trips online right now."

She picked up her newly purchased phone and began to happily search for information.

Chu Mo saw the girl's mood lift as quickly as it fell and couldn't help but smile.

In the past, he hadn't had the capacity to help her, so even though he knew she was suffering, he had to turn a blind eye.

But now that he had the ability, he thought he should properly make up for the hardship endured by his unfortunate little cousin.

He set his gaze upon the helicopter in the yard, which was a medium-sized business helicopter with a fuselage length of sixteen meters, the diameter of the main rotor exceeding thirteen meters, and a height that also reached four-point-four meters.

It was fortunate that Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One had nearly ten thousand square meters of space, or else it really would have been a hassle to park such a behemoth.

Being able to purchase this nearly hundred-million helicopter, all sorts of takeoff approval procedures had also been granted. When Nangong Xian'er delivered the helicopter, she had also left two pilots behind.

These two were now part of Chu Mo's bodyguard team, managed by the team leader Shou Bo.

With the power Chu Mo had now, if he wanted to take off, he just needed to give notice to the higher-ups beforehand and could almost always get approval. When he acquired this helicopter, he had already made connections with the aviation control authority, and there was no obstacle to his flights.

Of course, Chu Mo was not one of those showy rich second generations. Unless there was an urgent matter, he wouldn't cavalierly start up the helicopter to show off.

That luxurious yacht, valued at two billion, had been moored at the seaport marina for three days now, maintained and guarded by a yacht club.

Such a pity that Ru Yu had already left the Magic Capital a week ago; although the girl liked yachts, she didn't get a chance to see it.

Now, Chu Mo was the only one in the villa. He felt it pointless to go out to sea alone, so he hadn't even seen the yacht he had spent two billion on.

As for the Boeing 747, it was currently being modified by a company in the United States and was expected to be delivered to the Magic Capital in early September.

Of course, Chu Mo wasn't in a hurry to go abroad or to any remote location, so he wasn't rushed.

His phone suddenly vibrated, drawing his eyes away from the helicopter. Opening it, he saw that someone in the alumni group chat was tagging everyone.

Chu Mo glanced over it casually, intending to close it, but then he noticed they were discussing something about his close friend Li Fei.

"Li Fei, which hotel are you getting married at? Don't be silent, man. We're all old classmates here. Just let us know, and even if we can't make it, we can't miss giving you a gift money."

"Fatty, didn't you say in the group that you're getting married on October 1st? Have you found your bridesmaids yet? We, your old classmates, will definitely make a ruckus in the bridal chamber."

Li Fei must have been busy and hadn't seen the messages, so he hadn't replied yet. Chu Mo saw his classmates continuously discussing in the group, smiled, and was about to shut off his phone when someone sent another message, which made him frown slightly.

"What do you guys think we should give for the gift money? It won't look good if we're not uniform, like if one gives five hundred and another a thousand."

Shouldn't matters regarding gift money be discussed privately? Why are they talking about it in the group?

Chu Mo takes a look at the person speaking, whose nickname is 'Wanderer at World's End.'

Chu Mo hardly ever checked the group chat, so he couldn't tell who the person speaking was. He was hesitating whether to notify his close friend Li Fei to respond to everyone's questions in the group when, unexpectedly, someone tagged him directly.

"Chu Mo, you're Li Fei's close friend, right? In college, you two had the best relationship. How much do you think we should give for the gift money?"

He hadn't expected anyone to remember him. Having graduated three years ago, he had long since muted the group chat and never spoken up, thinking that everyone must have forgotten about him.

However, since someone had specifically tagged him, Chu Mo couldn't just pretend not to see and replied:

"The amount for gift money should be a personal feeling. As long as the intention is there, that's what matters, not the amount."

Chu Mo said this also because of his own considerations. He had already promised Li Fei that he would give him a big red envelope for his wedding.

Li Fei was his best and only close friend in the whole world. According to Chu Mo's intentions, he would give at least ten million.

Naturally, Chu Mo's gift money could not be the same as the others.

He had simply made a casual remark. Yet, his words immediately ignited a bombardment from a crowd of people in the group.

"Chu Mo is online? My gosh, it's the first time he's spoken in three years."

"Chu Mo, you're really not cool, man. Before, Ling Yue, our school's beauty queen, almost got into an argument with the class on your behalf, and you didn't even come out to say a word. By the way, was that photo you posted on your moments photoshopped?"

"Do we even need to ask about that? Who didn't know in college about Chu Mo arguing with an editor over a three-hundred-dollar article fee?"

"Haha, I remember Chu Mo was our class's literary talent, having published many articles in magazines, each worth several hundred bucks."

The classmates were all chattering, flooding the chat with messages that dazzled Chu Mo. After a quick look, he shook his head with a smile, muted the group again, and set his phone back to the mute status.

Indeed, he would never be able to engage in the same discussions with these people.

He put down the phone, enjoying the maid's massage, served by ten maids on both sides, with eight tall, strong bodyguards protecting the surroundings of the courtyard.

What he saw when he opened his eyes was a private plane worth nearly a hundred million, and on his mind for tomorrow was a trip on a luxurious yacht worth two billion...

Indeed, he was truly in a different world from those people.

He snapped his fingers, and the butler Danny immediately appeared at his side.

Chu Mo, in a contented tone, ordered lightly:

"Inform them that tomorrow Zhan Bingxue and Qin Zixuan are to take the day off; I want them to accompany me to the seaside for a stroll. Also, check if there are any female attendants still at Tianxiang Garden on the ninety-fifth floor; if so, call them all over. I want to have a grand party at sea."

The middle-aged butler bowed respectfully, took a step back, and then turned to leave.

With the master planning a grand party, as the chief steward of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One, Danny naturally arranged various matters.

Ensuring the master's one-hundred-percent satisfaction was his greatest duty as a butler.
