Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Miss Lu Siyue from the Lu family's departure did not attract the attention of others, but Li Ming, who had been keeping an eye on this side, took the opportunity to come over.

Li Ming was a third-generation rich kid. Although the Li family couldn't compare to the four major families of Modu, they still had assets worth tens of billions of RMB, commanding respect from everyone in this small circle, except for the Lu family's young lady, Lu Siyue.

Seeing that Chu Mo seemed to be in a good mood, he proactively suggested:

"Chu bro, how about we call a few girls to liven things up? Houhai Bar is the top one in our entire Modu, the quality of the girls is absolutely high, they're university students, female white-collar workers, definitely clean."

Normally, such matters were decided by Li Ming himself, and sometimes when the mood struck, he would find a few girls to keep them company—this was normal operation for second-generation rich kids like them.

But with Chu Mo around today, Li Ming did not dare to decide recklessly, fearing that Chu Mo might be displeased, so he asked Chu Mo's opinion in advance.

This showed that he truly considered Chu Mo one of their own.

Chu Mo suddenly remembered an encounter a few months ago in the Moonlit Bar. He had just received his unlimited card and was feeling expansive. He drove his Aston Martin to the bar, ordered hundreds of thousands worth of drinks, and even called in two female college students to accompany him.

Now he had already forgotten those two girls who had kept him company, but frankly speaking, their attractiveness was quite high, although they fell short compared to the ponytailed girl across from them, Zhao Lili, they were still of the stunning kind.

Especially the two girls' fiery figures and bold movements...

Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt a bit of interest and was about to agree, but Lu Siyue's figure had returned. She asked the two men with a gentle expression:

"What are you discussing? I could see you chattering from afar."

Li Ming, with an embarrassed smile on his face, immediately waved his hands and said:

"I was just asking Chu bro if he wanted to call a couple of girls over to keep us company..."

"Dare!"

Before Li Ming could finish speaking, the Miss Lu had already frosted over.

If it were any other time, Li Ming would not have backed down, but today he had just caused a big problem and was not yet completely settled down, so he did not insist.

A hint of regret flashed in Chu Mo's heart, but he would not say more.

"Li Ming is just crazy, acts without thinking. Pay him no mind."

The cheongsam-clad woman sitting next to him, even more ravishing by three points, Chu Mo noticed that her makeup seemed even more meticulous, and there seemed to be a faint scent of mint about her.

It was a very subtle scent, almost undetectable unless one was close.

And just then, the colorful lights that previously filled the hall suddenly went out, leaving the entire hall in darkness.

After a moment, a beam of light shone on the central stage, and then, an elegant woman in light blue Hanfu appeared in the center of the light.

In front of the woman was a guzheng, and as her fingers moved, the music echoing in the ears was like lofty mountains and flowing water.

The hall, which was previously filled with noise, quieted down significantly, and many people turned their attention to the elegant woman on the stage.

Houhai Bar was different from ordinary bars. It wasn't just about the explosive music; almost every day there would be different performances here.

Occasionally, even well-known bands would perform. The daily surprises for the guests were one of the reasons Houhai Bar was famous.

The woman on the stage was focused, dressed in simple and elegant Hanfu, with a dot of rouge on her forehead, exuding concentration and earnestness.

Lu Siyue, holding a wine glass, noticed the man beside her staring intently at the stage and slightly raised her eyebrows, asking:

"Do you know that girl?"

Hearing this, Chu Mo, gently touching his glasses on the bridge of his nose, replied with a smile:

"I suppose you could say I know her."

This answer did not satisfy Lu Siyue very much, but she did not continue to inquire and instead set her gaze on the girl on the stage as well.

Noticing her graceful figure and soft facial features, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.

Hmph...

Men.

Of course, Chu Mo was not aware of the cheongsam-clad woman's thoughts; he just suddenly felt some emotion upon seeing an old acquaintance.

He knew the girl on stage; she was the guzheng player invited to Villa No. 1 by the butler a few months ago.

The last time they met was at the Bafang International Hotel, when Chu Mo was discussing hotel investment matters with Sun Shangwu, Lin Hongqiang, and the others. Just like now, she performed with the same seriousness.

Chu Mo remembered asking Zhan Bingxue to invite her to a presidential suite, wanting to inquire about some matters regarding Bafang International, but he did not gain much information.

Before leaving, Chu Mo had someone deliver a VIP card from the Bafang International Hotel to her.

Afterwards, Chu Mo never inquired about it and didn't know whether she had accepted the VIP card or not.

If he remembered correctly, this girl seemed to be called Wu Xinyi, a student from the Magic City Music Academy, who performed on various high-end stages every weekend.

This was the third time he had enjoyed her performance, which meant that he and she really were quite fated.

Chu Mo quietly appreciated the performance, and the dozen or so second-generation rich kids around him who had been laughing and joking also gradually stopped their horseplay, all lost in thought as they watched him and the girl on the stage.

A glint of light flashed in Li Ming's eyes as he suddenly waved for a waiter, whispered something to him, and the waiter nodded in agreement.

Soon enough, several waiters could be seen approaching the stage, each carrying a large bouquet of roses. When the waiter placed several hundred roses on the stage, the girl in period costume, still unable to help herself, nodded in thanks to this side.

Chu Mo turned his gaze to Lu Siyue beside him, and the miss of the Lu family immediately got the hint and leaned over to quietly explain to Chu Mo:

"There's a tradition here in Houhai. If a guest is satisfied, they can give flowers to the performer they like. A rose is a hundred RMB, and the performer splits the proceeds with the bar. Li Ming just now must have sent nine hundred ninety-nine roses, so the girl will probably get about fifty thousand in shares."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo nodded slightly. It was his first time at the Houhai Bar and he really didn't know about such traditions. Today he had learned something new and also gained some insight into the lives of the wealthy second generation.

A gift worth nearly a hundred thousand, given away just like that.

What Chu Mo hadn't realized was that Li Ming was giving such a precious gift entirely for his sake,

Otherwise, even if those second-generation wealthy kids had someone they liked, sending a hundred or so roses at a time was just a gesture and would have been enough.

Just as Chu Mo was contemplating the extravagant lifestyles of the wealthy second-generation, he saw several waiters walking up to the stage again with a large bunch of roses. Once the waiters placed the roses on the stage, Chu Mo noticed that the roses sent by the other party were clearly more numerous than those sent by Li Ming.

Then, following Li Ming's gaze, Chu Mo spotted a tall young man in a VIP booth a short distance away, raising his glass towards them in a gesture.

The young man was also around twenty-eight or twenty-nine, dressed in branded clothes, his handsome face carrying a mocking air.

He gave Li Ming a thumbs-up, then suddenly turned his thumb sharply downward, the gesture full of provocation.

However, contrary to his expectations, Li Ming only glanced at him and did not lose his temper as imagined, which somewhat disappointed the young man across.

"Brother Li, isn't that guy Sun Li too arrogant? Are we just going to put up with it?"

The earringed young man who had downed three glasses earlier had now recovered his spirit. Seeing the provocation, he immediately wanted to rush up and fight.

Li Ming waved his hand, seemingly having matured suddenly, the previous incident with five hundred million causing him to grow a lot wiser. After downing half a glass of liquor to suppress the anger rising within him, Li Ming said softly,

"If this happened half an hour ago, I'd definitely be smashing a bottle over there right now. But now, I suddenly feel it's pointless to get angry with such people. Sun Li is just a mad dog who'll bite anyone he sees, carrying grudges for so many years. Besides, today Chu Ge is here, we can't ruin the mood. We won't make a scene today."

Although the few young men around were displeased, with Li Ming holding them back, they did not dare to act rashly.

Of course, the most important thing was that given their status, they really couldn't afford to provoke the young man across, challenging them. Only Li Ming had the stature to confront him directly; they had to keep their anger bottled up even if it burned.

The atmosphere at the table became somewhat silent,

After a little while, the performer on stage finished her song, and after the girl in the light blue period costume bowed in thanks, sparse applause rang out below.

Then, the girl approached the guests who had sent the roses, under the guidance of the waiters. As part of the etiquette, they have to express their thanks to such guests who send tens of thousands worth of roses at a time.

As the girl named Wu Xinyi expressed her gratitude to several young masters, Chu Mo waited peacefully, knowing she would come over to his side after a while.

Suddenly, the VIP booth across burst into catcalling and laughter. Frowning slightly, Chu Mo turned his head and saw the young noble who had previously made a provocative gesture at Li Ming holding a wine glass, insisting on drinking a toasting cup with the girl in the period costume.

Wu Xinyi, who evidently didn't drink, repeatedly declined and immediately, the noble who had turned sour poured two glasses of wine over the girl's head.

Then, when the young man once again raised his eyebrows towards them with a challenge in his eyes, Chu Mo, who had already consumed liquor and was emotionally unstable, immediately lost his temper.

"Chu Ge, you call the shots on what we do with this. Just say the word, and we brothers are ready to go all out today."

If Li Ming were to act like he didn't see it again, he would truly be a coward.

The young lady called Wu Xinyi was already on the verge of tears, but as she didn't dare offend such nobility, she could only swallow down any grievances she had.

Chu Mo, having finished off the half glass of liquor in front of him with a cold expression, declared,

"Let's do it."

People with introverted personalities generally don't express their emotions readily.

But once such a person erupts, the consequences can be severe.

He slapped the table and stood up, emanating a fierce and decisive aura typical of youth.
