Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Villa number two is the second largest in the entire Emperor's Pavilion, with the whole property including the courtyard encompassing a vast 6,000 square meters, not much smaller than Chu Mo's number one villa.

The price of villa number two is 470 million, and one can imagine that the owner of this villa is definitely either very wealthy or of high status, given the huge amount of money they spent on it.

However, in the year since Chu Mo moved here, he had never seen the owner of that villa.

Strolling forward, he quickly passed villa number three, which also boasted a huge space of 5,000 square meters.

The whole Emperor's Pavilion is very large, with roads lined with trees and birds singing crisply overhead, and from time to time one could see the silhouettes of birds flying by.

Chu Mo was in a good mood; he walked slowly, stopping here and there, and soon arrived at the front door of villa number eight.

This was his first property; when he had first obtained the "unlimited" bank card, the first piece of property he bought was this villa, which itself was thousands of square meters, and cost Chu Mo three billion to purchase.

Villa number eight was now occupied by Qin Zixuan, but at this time she would definitely not be home, only a few maids and bodyguards would be in the villa. There would be no point in Chu Mo going over, so he turned on his heel and chose to head back to his own place.

It was already ten fifty, and by the time he got home it would be after eleven, just in time for a meal.

Chu Mo's steps remained unhurried as he walked with a relaxed expression, even leisurely humming a tune. Before long, as he passed by the entrance of villa number two again, he looked inside on impulse and saw a slender figure swinging on a swing in the courtyard. The girl appeared to be in her early twenties, dressed very casually, with an exquisitely flawless face. She looked like a sprite amidst the flowers.

She apparently noticed Chu Mo's gaze, and their eyes met for a moment. The exquisitely beautiful girl tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes showing a hint of curiosity and surprise.

Chu Mo gave a slight nod to her, then resumed walking. Once he had passed the gateway, the silhouette of the swinging girl disappeared from view.

The stunningly beautiful girl was likely the mistress of villa number two.

This was the first time Chu Mo had seen her, but as she was alone, it was not appropriate for him to go up and greet her. He could visit her another time if there was an opportunity.

The image of the girl on the swing, with her bright eyes, kept flashing in Chu Mo's mind. After a moment, he shook his head slightly to clear his head of the distracting thoughts. When he returned to the great hall of villa number one, the chef had just served the last dish on the dining table.

Chu Mo entered the dining room and took his seat at the head of the table, looking at the table full of delicate dishes and the empty dining room. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly instructed,

"Ask Lei Ting and Fan Gao to come dine. Oh, and call Miss Qin Lan as well!"

As Chu Mo's words fell, his butler Danny immediately bowed his head in agreement!

Danny left the dining room to call the others, and Chu Mo waited quietly. It was only a short time before the middle-aged butler reappeared, followed only by the tall Qin Lan.

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Lei Ting and Mr. Fan Gao will dine with the bodyguards. They asked me to thank you for your kind invitation!"

Hearing this, Chu Mo nodded slowly, not insisting on his offer.

Looking at the tall girl standing beside him, Chu Mo casually said,

"Sit down, there are no outsiders here, no need to be formal!"

Though Qin Lan appeared to be a young girl of sixteen or seventeen, in reality, she was a mysterious person who had practiced for at least several decades. There was no need for Chu Mo to worry, as Qin Lan took a seat beside him as naturally as if she were in a school cafeteria.

A maid immediately prepared utensils for her, and without waiting for Chu Mo to begin, the long-haired lady herself picked up a knife and fork, neatly cutting into the tender steak in front of her and slowly savoring it.

Seeing the girl beside him still looking cool and detached, as if she were a block of ice inaccessible to strangers, Chu Mo lost interest in talking and started his own meal, using the knife and fork to tuck in,

Since he hadn't had breakfast, he was waiting for this meal, and Chu Mo was hungry. Dispensing with niceties, he ate heartily, swallowing mouthfuls of food, and soon, the table was littered with shrimp shells and crab carapaces.

When Chu Mo set down his knife and fork, he found that Qin Lan beside him was still eating at a leisurely pace, and in front of her, a large pile of leftovers had accumulated.

Glancing subconsciously at her belly, he noticed her stomach had slightly bulged. Chu Mo shook his head slightly and, without further attention to her, stood up and left the restaurant after saying, "Take your time."

After a brief washing up, he let the maid help him tidy up.

It was still early, so he drank a cup of tea first and then asked the maid to prepare some books and a notebook for him. Chu Mo started reading on the sofa in the living room.

It wasn't until nearly twenty minutes later that Qin Lan, burping contentedly, ambled out of the dining room.

Chu Mo deliberately glanced at her protruding belly. He was about to jest but, on second thought, considering she was a woman, he swallowed the words before they left his mouth.

"I'm full and satisfied! What's next?"

The tall woman approached Chu Mo. She initially wanted to sit on the sofa, but her belly was so full that she couldn't fit comfortably. After a moment's hesitation, Qin Lan chose to stand instead.

Seeing her like this, Chu Mo's mouth curved into a slight smile. He continued to flip through the book in his hand and said, "You can arrange the next period of time as you like. There's nothing special you need to do here. You can take a walk to settle your meal or practice your skills. Didn't you say it would take only a month to reach the upper level of class A? I'm really looking forward to your breakthrough!"

The girl with shoulder-length hair turned slightly. She had thought about going out for a walk, but as she moved and glanced down at her own full belly, and with the thought of a SS-class Great Grandmaster in the yard, the image of the Great Grandmaster's astonished face when seeing her convinced Qin Lan to give up on the idea of walking around.

She sighed softly, then turned to head upstairs.

However, just as she reached the stairway, Qin Lan paused and hesitantly asked, "Uh... can we eat this delicious food every day?"

At her words, Chu Mo sharply turned his head to look at the girl standing by the staircase. With a slight curl of his lips, Chu Mo replied indifferently, "This is just standard lunch. As long as you stay here, the food in the future will definitely be better than today's!"

After getting the answer, the tall woman nodded slightly. Without lingering, she quickly stepped toward the second-floor guest room. It wasn't until she had left that Chu Mo seemed to hear her murmuring to herself, "Staying here seems pretty good!"

Taking a deep breath and looking away, Chu Mo set down the book in his hand. He opened the laptop in front of him and casually clicked on a file, then started to read it attentively.

The father of Hua Country's wealthiest woman, Liu Manli, an old man named Liu Zhiyu, had passed away some time ago.

Liu Zhiyu was from the same era as the Zhou family head, Zhou Shixing, and he held immense prestige in Zhongzhou. It was due to the old Liu's prestige that the eight major clans had refrained from making a move against the Liu family. Now, with the old man's passing and the absence of his protection, the Liu family might soon face the continuous strikes of the eight major clans.

This was why Lei Ting, a half-step Grandmaster, had appeared at the martial arts competition in Capital City, subsequently seeking protection from Chu Mo.

"Liu Zhiyu had been gravely ill several months ago. He had managed to hold on until now, probably due to concerns over the Liu family's wealth. However, the old man has fallen, and following that, the eight major clans will definitely not let the Liu family off!

With a net worth of 270 billion, Liu Manli, the wealthiest woman in Hua Country, there's no one else in this world who can protect you but me!"

Chu Mo muttered to himself as he browsed through the data on his computer. After a moment of silence, he suddenly summoned the middle-aged butler. As soon as the butler approached, Chu Mo immediately ordered, "Set up a meeting with Liu Manli. We'll meet at three o'clock this afternoon at the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel!"
