Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chu Mo really took to heart the visit of Yang Xuan's mother. To ensure the satisfaction of his future mother-in-law, he spent two consecutive days accompanying the mother and daughter. He looked at the luxurious residences in Tomson Yipin, bought a luxury car worth tens of millions, and registered everything under Yang Xuan's name.

Even if he and Yang Xuan were to get married immediately, they wouldn't lack anything.

Naturally, Chu Mo's sincere efforts not only moved Yang Xuan but also pleased the lady.

On the afternoon of the second day, the lady took the same high-speed train to return home.

In the same vein, the lady did not bring up the matter of Yang Xuan returning home for a blind date again. It seemed that the lady was extremely satisfied with Chu Mo as a considerate, handsome, and wealthy future son-in-law.

With the lady's departure, Chu Mo's wedding seemed to be still far off in the future, but the wedding of his close buddy, Li Fei, was indeed drawing near.

Time flew by, and it was the end of September already. Tomorrow would be Li Fei's wedding. For his one and only close buddy, Chu Mo had once pondered over how much money to gift. After much consideration, he decided to give ten million.

Of course, it wasn't that Chu Mo was stingy, but he was concerned that giving too much might change the nature of their friendship in the future. The ten million was a figure he settled on after much deliberation.

Li Fei was the only close buddy Chu Mo kept in contact with after graduating from college. Li Fei had provided him with a lot of help. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that without Li Fei's encouragement and companionship, Chu Mo couldn't have persevered alone in the bustling city for so long.

After leaving school, Chu Mo had failed to find a job for half a year. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford instant noodles. If it weren't for Li Fei's occasional relief, Chu Mo probably couldn't have lasted even that initial half-year, let alone achieve his later success.

Chu Mo treasured the friendship between him and Li Fei. He didn't want the changes in his life to spoil their relationship, which was why he was so cautious in maintaining this precious friendship.

For Li Fei's wedding, Chu Mo really wanted to do something meaningful. He had previously asked if there was any need for his help, offering to arrange a five-star hotel or even the unique seven-star hotel in the metropolitan city, Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, as the wedding venue.

He could arrange a fleet of luxury cars worth tens of millions for the bridal procession and prepare a distinct wedding for his buddy...

But all these offers were rejected by Li Fei.

Seeing his firm attitude, Chu Mo did not insist.

He had expressed his willingness to help, and as for the final arrangements, it was up to Li Fei to decide. Chu Mo naturally did not want to interfere too much.

The day before the wedding, Chu Mo prepared a bank card with a deposit of ten million for Li Fei, setting the PIN to Li Fei's birthday. Originally, he wanted to bring cash, thinking a stack of red banknotes would be festive, but when the butler showed him what ten million in cash looked like, he abandoned the idea.

Not only would it be too conspicuous, but it would also be inconvenient to carry. In the end, he chose a small bank card.

Just as Chu Mo had settled the matter of his gift for tomorrow, at that moment, he received a call from his buddy Li Fei. When he answered the phone, he thought Li Fei was reminding him to arrive early the next day, but unexpectedly, Li Fei was sighing on the other end of the line.

Chu Mo gestured for the butler and maid to leave, then put the phone to his ear and said seriously,

"What's the matter? You, a grown man, are sighing. You're not suffering from pre-wedding jitters, are you?"

Li Fei's wedding preparations were going smoothly. Li Fei came from a decent background, with a car and a house at his disposal, and he worked at a good institution with a monthly salary of sixteen thousand and significant upward potential. Besides, the bride's family was very reasonable and did not demand a hefty dowry. Moreover, it was heard that the bride's dowry was also very generous.

This was also why Li Fei had never asked Chu Mo for help.

Hearing Chu Mo's teasing on the other end of the phone, his buddy sighed softly and then said somewhat reluctantly,

"I wasn't planning on asking for your help. After all, you donated so much money to our school, and many classmates are saying behind my back that I'm clinging to your wealthy coattails, suggesting I'll rise to success off your charity... To be honest, my family is doing well; there's no need to let these people gossip. So, I never asked for your help."

As his buddy spoke earnestly on the phone, Chu Mo finally understood why Li Fei had rejected his previous offers to help.

It turned out he was fearful of the rumors behind his back from the old classmates.

Chu Mo and Li Fei were very close; this was known to all the classmates. And after Chu Mo had donated to his alma mater last time, there were some groundless criticisms behind the scenes...

Chu Mo knew how annoying those whispers and rumors could be, which was why he had previously blocked the classmates group chat. And now, the subject of the gossip had turned to his buddy Li Fei. Li Fei's family was quite well off, and whether it was during their school days or the three years after graduating from university, to be honest, Li Fei had always helped Chu Mo more.

Even up to now, Li Fei had not accepted any financial aid from him, not even the ten million Yuan he had prepared for the wedding gift, which was still in his own hands.

Given Li Fei's stubborn character, he would naturally not let these classmates talk behind his back, and this was probably the real reason he kept turning down Chu Mo's offers of help.

But now, tomorrow was the wedding day, and Li Fei's call to him at this time probably meant he really had run into some insurmountable problem.

Chu Mo walked gently from the grand hall of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One to the courtyard, and watching the sunset slowly setting in the west, he said earnestly, Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"Just tell me what it is. Our friendship of seven or eight years, can it really change just because of a few people's idle talk?"

As Chu Mo stood by the courtyard swimming pool and his voice fell, he gazed at the private helicopter opposite and thought rapidly about various scenarios. Whatever was troubling his buddy must be both very important and very difficult!

"Well then, I'll take you up on your offer. Here's the thing, it had been agreed that my family would find four groomsmen and the bride's side would find four bridesmaids.

But I just got a call from them, saying it turns out that our side should also take care of the bridesmaids; something's come up on their end and they can't get all the bridesmaids together, so they've just pushed the responsibility onto us.

You know, the other side doesn't really have any unreasonable demands. Even the dowry of 188,000 Yuan, once we take it over, they will give it back. We definitely want to meet that requirement, but their only demand is that the bridesmaids must be beautiful... Tomorrow is the wedding day, and where am I supposed to find four bridesmaids now? That's why I thought of you, little brother.

Last time, didn't I see in your friend circle that you posted pictures with more than a dozen beautiful maids? It looks like I have to trouble you with this."

As Li Fei finished speaking, Chu Mo suddenly burst into laughter. He shook his head slightly and said with sentiment,

"I was afraid the bride's side had a change of heart, and all for this little issue? Don't worry about it, aren't we just talking about four beautiful bridesmaids? Leave it to me. Whatever your requirements are, just say it. How can I not find pretty bridesmaids? I'll even bring you a Heavenly Immortal from the skies if necessary!"

Confident as ever, Chu Mo's reassurance noticeably relaxed Li Fei who was on the other end of the phone. Sounding sincere, Li Fei said,

"Chu Mo, I was overthinking things before. We're brothers, who've skipped classes and fought battles together. How could we drift apart just because some nobodies are a bit sour behind our backs? I was wrong before, and I apologize. But I mean it when I say the bridesmaids are in your hands—just don't let me lose face in front of my mother-in-law. Find the most beautiful ones you can!"

Seeing that his buddy had gotten over his concerns, Chu Mo also felt cheerful as he replied,

"You're the one who said it. Don't blame me if the bridesmaids outshine the bride—I didn't warn you beforehand!"

The two laughed and chatted for a bit more before Chu Mo hung up. After he took a deep breath, his expression visibly relaxed.

Li Fei had repeatedly refused his help before, and Chu Mo had indeed felt their relationship had become somewhat distant; but now, with this breakthrough, Chu Mo felt as though a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Looking at the sunset that had already dipped below the horizon, he suddenly said to himself,

"Might as well deposit one billion Yuan in the bank account. Those classmates like to be sour, right? Let them have their fill of it!"

He turned and began walking back to the villa, picking up his phone at the same time, then dialed a number. After a moment, someone on the other end picked up, and Chu Mo spoke in an even tone,

"It's me. Check how many maidens are at Tianxiang Garden's ninety-fifth floor. I have something important tomorrow, I need to find four maidens to help..."
