Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 359 - 248 The Fall of a Top Socialite

Chapter 359: Chapter 248 The Fall of a Top Socialite

“Ruyu… that guy must be your boyfriend, right?”

Clad in a white shirt paired with gemstone blue skinny jeans, Qian Xinyi’s eyes widened in shock. At Shui Mu University, she was the belle of the Business Management department, and although she couldn’t compare to the peerless beauty of Ruyu at her side, she was undoubtedly a great beauty herself.

However, upon entering this hall filled with the lavishness of a jewelry exhibition, seeing rings worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, her horizons had been broadened, and her little heart had been pounding without cease.

Usually, she flitted about like a dancing butterfly, her entire being seemingly caught in the excitement of stepping into a new world.

But just as she was dazzled by the surrounding jewelry, captivated and reluctant to leave, she caught sight of her best friend’s boyfriend, and in the blink of an eye, he was accompanied by two stunning beauties.

And they were behaving in an intimate manner, cozily nestled together.

She covered her little mouth with her hand, incredulously staring at the tall and handsome Chu Big Brother, who was affectionately holding another woman’s hand, her heart instantly filled with a myriad of complicated emotions.

This Chu Big Brother was tall and handsome, wore watches worth over a hundred million, and he was also a playboy?

Ruyu’s gaze likewise fell upon the figure of the man opposite, but in contrast to her friend’s shock, Ruyu, the person involved, was much more composed.

She couldn’t help but recall the scene from two months ago, when she, along with the most beautiful waitress at Tianxiang Garden, Liang Bing, had vied for the trust of the man opposite, their faces flushed with effort.

Two months ago, the sole seven-star hotel in Modu, the Tianxiangyuan International Hotel with a market value of over ten billion, changed ownership. Sensing the terrifying potential of the man opposite, Ruyu had decisively made her move; she was willing to forsake her pride, sacrifice everything, all to gain his trust.

The moment she made her choice, Ruyu had actually anticipated this outcome.

This man, revered as Mr. Chu throughout Modu, this young master with terrifying assets, could not possibly have only her by his side.

With his terrifying wealth and promising youth, even if there were three or five, or even ten or eight women vying for him, Ruyu wouldn’t feel the slightest bit surprised.

She had chosen this path for herself, and when Ruyu made up her mind to approach the young man, she never once thought she would be his one and only. Hence, when she saw another woman standing by his side, Ruyu didn’t react with shock or charge forward to question him.

Because she knew, if she really did that, it would mean losing everything.

While there was a tinge of discomfort in her heart, Ruyu’s ravishing face showed no sign of it. She serenely watched the man opposite, then gently pulled her best friend by the arm, and as they turned to leave, she calmly said:

“The diamond bracelet over there is quite nice, come take a look with me.”

The arm Qian Xinyi was being pulled by immediately widened her eyes, her face a mix of incredulity and hesitation as she said:

“Hey… that girl next to Chu Big Brother… just what is your relationship with him?”

Lu Yuan, with a face as complicated as hers, took one deep look at the calm Chu Mo across from him, finding it unbelievable when Chu Mo even had the leisure to nod at him. Eventually, he set his sight back on Ruyu and, despite being part of the prominent Lu family, he too hurried after her.

…

“Your friend?”

The serene and striking He Xinyi next to him also noticed where Chu Mo’s eyes were directed; she followed his gaze and saw the retreating forms of Ruyu and her friend walking away.

Chu Mo nodded, he was about to say the girl opposite was his girlfriend when a woman dressed in schoolgirl fashion suddenly spoke up:

“My boyfriend is over there!”

As she finished speaking, the woman named Yuan Yuan lit up with a radiant smile and waved cheerfully towards the two men on the opposite corridor, interrupting Chu Mo’s words. He followed her gaze, then saw a familiar face.

Lu Zhenhao, who had just been mingling with his group of friends, the father of the wealthy second-generation Lu Yuan.

And by Lu Zhenhao’s side was a man around thirty, appearing quite mature and elegant. The gentleman was enthusiastically conversing with Lu Zhenhao.

The two in the corridor opposite had clearly noticed the situation here. The elegant man gestured to the woman beside him, named Yuan Yuan; then, he also nodded towards Chu Mo’s companion, He Xinyi. As for Chu Mo, his gaze swiftly swept past them but didn’t linger.

However, Lu Zhenhao had also seen Chu Mo and when he noticed Chu Mo’s close demeanor with He Xinyi, a smile flickered in the eyes of this top tycoon before he amiably nodded at Chu Mo.

“Do you know President Lu?”

Although the group merely exchanged nods without much conversation, Lu Zhenhao and Chu Mo’s brief interaction had not escaped the keen eyes of the two socialites beside them.

Yuan Yuan, originally elegant and ladylike, widened her beautiful, phoenix-like eyes. She had truly believed that Chu Mo was just a pretty boy kept by her best friend He Xinyi, not worth a second thought.

However, upon seeing President Lu, who even her boyfriend handled with care, greeting Chu Mo, she couldn’t help but take an interest in him.

Chu Mo hesitated for a moment. This question was indeed tricky to answer. To say he didn’t know him would seem impersonal, especially since he wouldn’t even have gotten into this exhibition without the middle-aged man opposite.

But to say they were acquainted… that seemed a bit of a stretch.

After a moment of silence, Chu Mo could only tell the truth:

“He’s the father of a classmate. We came here with Lu Yuan, his son.”

Hearing this, disappointment flashed in the eyes of the woman opposite, yet she also felt it was to be expected. She spoke softly:

“Well, you’d better maintain a good relationship with your classmate. President Lu is in the jewelry business, and the Lu Group’s operations cover the whole of Hua Country, worth tens of billions. If your classmate could give you a little support in the future, it would definitely be more promising than being a kept man.”

Chu Mo was somewhat surprised; he had assumed the Lu family was worth a few billion, not the tens of billions they actually possessed. No wonder that Lu Zhenhao was so familiar with the jewelry in the exhibition hall.

Of course, Chu Mo was only momentarily intrigued and didn’t feel much else.

A fortune worth tens of billions was roughly on par with Sun Shangwu’s level in the circles of Modu, and in Chu Mo’s social circle, only those worth a hundred billion and above, such as the leaders of the four major families, Ren Wenxuan, Chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment, or heirs of the Ross family, and people like Ben Hesed, could sit on equal footing with him. A fortune worth tens of billions could only sit at the lowest end in his circle.

Chu Mo refocused his thoughts and found He Xinyi staring at him, her arms still tightly wound around him, her subtle jasmine fragrance continuously seeping into his heart. He raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled:

“What’s the matter? Is there something on my face?”

He Xinyi, with her delicate features, didn’t look away. Her peach blossom eyes scrutinized Chu Mo’s face carefully for a while before she softly said:

“Nothing much, just that… the more I look, the better looking you seem. You said you came with a classmate, right? No wonder there’s a scholarly aura about you. Which school are you from?”

Chu Mo smiled wryly, adjusting the gold glasses on his nose. He had graduated three years ago. Though he indeed had a scholarly aura—it was because he had been writing—but with his mature and steady demeanor, he shouldn’t appear to be a student, right?

And as Chu Mo smiled wryly, Yuan Yuan, the woman referenced earlier, immediately laughed:

“I know this one. My boyfriend has been discussing doing business with President Lu lately, so I’ve heard a lot about him.

President Lu has a son and two daughters, who are twins and are both in their senior year of high school. His only son, Lu Yuan, is in the School of Management at Shui Mu University and is a senior. Am I right?”

Chu Mo nodded. He knew Ru Yu was a senior at Shui Mu University, and that Lu Yuan and Qian Xinyi were her classmates and had a close relationship, likely in the same department.

However, as Chu Mo nodded, he suddenly felt the grip on his arm tighten. After registering the astonishing softness pressing against his limb, he saw the beautiful woman beside him blushing slightly as she leaned close to Chu Mo’s ear, her mature and seductive aura mingling as she whispered:

“To think you’re a top student from Shui Mu University, I really hit the jackpot this time.”

Seeing her flushed face and the deep affection swirling in her peach blossom eyes, Chu Mo swallowed slightly as a fragrant breeze tickled his ear, and his heart began to race uncontrollably.
