Trillionaire's Slice of Life

In front of the golden piano, a girl in a pink chiffon dress played passionately and attentively. Her slender fingers danced like butterflies, beautiful and vivid. As they fluttered at the tips of her fingers, sections of wonderful music that refreshed the heart and soul flowed continuously throughout the hall.

Chu Mo, casually holding a stemmed glass, admired the spirited woman. Her milk-white skin was embedded with rosy hues of delicate pink, as gorgeous as satin.

Her slender, willow leaf eyebrows were painted a dark brown, doll-like long and curled eyelashes framed her bright eyes. Her curled eyelashes fluttered, like crystal-clear eyes shining as bright as the starry sky. It seemed as though ripples were continuously spreading through her eyes, as if she were silently expressing something at all times.

She was a pure girl, as clear as the starry sky, as bright as a flower, totally incompatible with the vulgar splendor around her!

Chu Mo quietly appreciated the joyful music flowing from the girl's fingertips. Beside him, Lin Ling'er, dressed in gorgeous attire, also noticed his gaze, slightly raised her eyebrows, and then the exquisitely beautiful woman chuckled and said:

"She is the treasured pearl of the Zhao family, who has been fond of various music pieces since she was young. It is said that she is a genius with perfect pitch; she won the International Chopin Piano Competition at the age of fourteen.

Because she loves music, every time there is a gathering or performance, she hides away on the stage to play by herself. She never socializes, dislikes competing with others, and, if needed, she will keep playing on and on until the party ends and everyone leaves, only then will she step down from the stage!"

"If Mr. Chu is interested, I could introduce you. Miss Zhao Ying would certainly be excited to meet you."

Chu Mo took a gentle sip of the top-quality red wine, and as the mellow taste meandered on his taste buds, he breathed lightly:

"No need, in Miss Zhao Ying's eyes, there are only stars and the sea. Let's not disturb her peace with our mortal ways!"

As his words fell, Lin Ling'er beside him immediately nodded, and with a coquettish tone, said:

"Mr. Chu is considerate and cherishing. Miss Zhao will surely be touched if she knew about it, but Lin'er doesn't know if Mr. Chu could also spare some pity for her."

Chu Mo slightly curved his lips, withdrawing his gaze from the steel-grey piano across from him. As his look fell upon Lin Ling'er in front of him, with a hint of subtle grievance in her eyes, he smiled and said:

"Miss Lin jests. The Lin family is the foremost amongst the four great families of the demon city. In the entire demon city, even across all of Hua Country, it exerts an incredibly huge influence. Not only that, but Miss Lin is also commonly known as the second in command of the Lin family.

Compared to many of the so-called famous ladies here who are merely figureheads, Miss Lin is one of the rare women who truly wield power.

In the demon city, Miss Lin should be the most entitled woman. With Miss Lin's power and influence, why would she need the pity of a man like me!"

Far away on the grass, the Zhao family's precious daughter's fingers suddenly became animated, and what was originally music as serene as a spring suddenly transformed into something as tumultuous as a mighty river.

The merry music became fast and was filled with surging waves, its urgent rhythm seemingly leaving no room to catch one's breath.

Lin Ling'er, in a blue mini-dress, slightly thrust out her bosom. Her slender waist combined with her voluptuous figure was enough to make any man linger with desire.

The woman, with seductiveness and shyness in her eyes, whispered softly as if sharing secrets. She tiptoed gently, leaning towards Chu Mo's ear, and spoke with a fragrant breath:

"Even though I may be powerful, I am not a match for the Princess Wei'er Mina Gong. Since even Princess Mina Gong can, why can't Lin'er? As long as Mr. Chu nods, Lin'er will be at your disposal tonight."

The coquettish voice, mingled with a faint scent of alcohol, stirred a growing heat at the bottom of Chu Mo's heart amid the subtle grievances.

He sniffed the body fragrance of Miss Lin, and amidst the intense temptation, just as Chu Mo was about to nod off in a daze, a melody resembling the charge of cavalry suddenly reached his ears.

That rhythm swiftly turned like galloping steeds, the tempo tight and uniform, the melody leaping and rich.

And in the midst of that vibrant music, Chu Mo, who was about to succumb to the tender charms around him, gradually regained his clarity of mind. When he looked up sharply, he saw across from him, beside the golden piano, a breathtakingly beautiful girl in a pink dress, staring straight at him!

Her eyes shone brightly like jewels, dazzling like the starry sky, untainted by any impurity, pure and flawless!

In those gem-like radiant eyes, the desire Chu Mo had originally felt began to subside. His blood cooled down with the music, gradually returning to calm, and he once again became unflappable.

In face of the expectations of Miss Lin from the Lin family, Chu Mo said calmly,

"Miss Lin may have misunderstood something. Princess Mina and I are simply business partners. I provide the funds, and Princess Mina supplies me with the jewelry goods, that's all." Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

The enchantment in her eyes gradually gave way to a look of gravity and disappointment. Lin Ling'er, who had been clinging closely to Chu Mo, gently stepped back. She lost all her coquettishness and instead, became extremely solemn,

"Is Mr. Chu determined to wipe us out?"

Returning to the matter at hand, Chu Mo naturally was not afraid of the Lin family in the slightest.

Let alone the presence of a mere Lin Ling'er, even if the Family Head, Lin Youzhi himself, were to come, Chu Mo would not fear him in the least.

Chu Mo stood up straight, his smile fading from his face, and spoke with utmost seriousness,

"It is not that I, Chu Mo, am out to annihilate you, but your Lin family reneged on the deal first. We had already signed a cooperation agreement, and your siding against me, Chu Mo, for a trifling gain meant that you must face my wrath.

Moreover, I have given you opportunities before, which you did not cherish. Only when the floodwaters are at your door do you think to regret your actions. Don't you think it's a bit late, Miss Lin?"

The thing Chu Mo detested most in his life was betrayal. When he was selecting Zhan Bingxue to be his first spokesperson, he had earnestly warned her that he loathed three things above all else.

The first was betrayal.

The second was betrayal, and the third was still betrayal!

This showed how much he despised those who betrayed him.

The Lin family had previously had an agreement with Chu Mo. Chu Mo would support the Lin family in taking full control of the jewelry business in the entire city of Modu and several nearby cities. But in the end, yielding to the pressure of the eight great families, they chose to betray. Naturally, they would have to bear the brunt of Chu Mo's furious wrath!

Lin Ling'er looked quietly at the man before her, clearly feeling the towering rage emanating from him, knowing it was too late to show weakness and seek reconciliation. Clenching her teeth slightly, the second-in-command of the Lin family said with a grave voice,

"Does Mr. Chu really think our Lin family is easy to bully? We have operated in Modu for over a century, and our Supreme Jewelry store has long been entrenched in the consumers' hearts. It is not something that can be challenged by your hastily opened shops!

Moreover, Mr. Chu, do you think we betrayed without a reason? I'll tell you, it was only because the eight great families offered us an offer we couldn't refuse. If Mr. Chu insists on waging war, it won't just be my Lin family you're up against, but all eight major families of Hua Country!"

The music to his ears had gradually turned from exuberant to desolate, and amidst a melody reminiscent of warhorses and iron, Chu Mo said gravely,

"Miss Lin, let's speak with actions to prove who is right and who is wrong. One week from now, Fan's Jewelry will officially open. Let us wait and see!"
