Gao Liyuan hadn’t recognized Xu Mo at first.
And honestly, who could blame her?
The difference between photos and reality was just too vast.
Most people look better in photos but fall short in person.
Xu Mo, however, was the complete opposite.
He looked handsome in photos, but in real life, he was a hundred times more striking.
Especially his aura!
That kind of charisma just doesn’t translate in pictures.
But being next to him, it was impossible to miss.
“Alright then, since you know who I am, and you’re aware I’m a busy man, I’ll write you a check for 100,000 Dragon Currency. You can go to the hospital and get yourself checked out.”
Xu Mo stopped pretending.
He laid his cards on the table.
Gao Liyuan had a bit of a money-loving streak!
Besides, in this car accident situation,
the fault wasn’t even on him.
For something like this,
100,000 Dragon Currency was already a generous offer.
If money could solve the problem,
then it wasn’t really a problem at all.
Gao Liyuan’s cheeks flushed. 100,000?
Was it really about the money?
No, what she wanted was him!
Between him and money, who was more important?
Of course, it was him.
Her restless heart just couldn’t calm down.
“I feel a bit tight in my chest. This isn’t about the money…”
Gao Liyuan, the drama queen, acted up, clutching her collar as she spoke.
“Are you saying it’s not enough?” Xu Mo asked, eyeing her suspiciously.
Gao Liyuan’s acting skills were a bit lacking.
Her other hand was in the wrong place.
Why was she holding her stomach?
“Uh… well…” Gao Liyuan panicked a little.
(≧▽≦)
Xu Mo decided to up the offer. “How about I give you a million?”
[Here’s a million. Just pretend you never saw me.]
If it were anyone else,
Gao Liyuan would’ve happily agreed without a second thought.
She could just lie on the car hood,
and boom—a million Dragon Currency in her pocket.
That’s faster than robbing a bank.
Gao Liyuan: Here’s a million for you. Come home with me, and I’ll take care of you!
Ahem…
Gao Liyuan put on a troubled expression. “It’s really not about the money… My chest really hurts.”
[What the—! This little money-grubber isn’t following the script!]
[She’s trying to trick and ambush me, an experienced villain. Is that fair?]
[Actually, it is!]
[Could something really be wrong?]
Xu Mo took her hand. “Come on, let’s go to the nearest hospital and get you checked out.”
Gao Liyuan didn’t expect Xu Mo to be so direct!
This was perfect.
She didn’t resist and followed him into the sports car.
Being able to hear Xu Mo’s thoughts
gave her a sudden boost of confidence.
Gao Liyuan wondered why the heavens had granted her the ability to hear Xu Mo’s inner voice.
Wasn’t this a clear sign of fate?
When the heavens arrange something, it’s meant to be.
At the hospital, thanks to Xu Mo’s status,
everything went smoothly.
The test results came out quickly.
Nothing serious.
After all, this was a ‘patient’ brought in by Xu Mo.
Apart from advising her to rest and drink more water,
the doctor prescribed some medicine to ease the chest pain.
“False alarm,”
Xu Mo thought to himself.
She was perfectly fine.
All the data showed she was healthy.
“Go home and rest. Remember to take your medicine on time,”
Xu Mo reminded her.
If she hadn’t been able to hear Xu Mo’s thoughts,
Gao Liyuan might’ve been moved to tears.
But she wasn’t really sick!!!!
This was all just to create a chance to be alone with him!
Wait, no—now she *was* sick.
------A sickness of the heart.
Only the one who tied the bell can untie it.
So, hand him over!
“Hey, Xu Mo, I’m really hungry. I haven’t eaten yet.”
(๑´ㅂ`๑)
Xu Mo looked at her flushed face.
He guessed the snacks she’d bumped into earlier
were probably meant to be her lunch.
Sigh… might as well do a good deed all the way.
He hadn’t eaten either.
“Alright, let’s go.”
“Yay!”
“Hey, we’re just going to eat. Don’t cling to my arm!”
“Rumor has it you change girlfriends every week. I’m not worse than those flashy gold-diggers, am I?”
Though Gao Liyuan was inexperienced in love,
as a seasoned homebody,
she’d done her fair share of research on how to win over a guy.
Take the initiative.
Be bold.
Pay attention to the details.
Besides, she’d been single for too long.
Now that someone perfect for her had appeared,
if she didn’t make a move, someone else would snatch him away.
From what she’d gathered from Xu Mo’s thoughts,
he was still… untouched!
This revelation shocked her!
So, when the time was right, she had to act.
Hesitation leads to regrets.
Take the initiative!
That’s the only way to win!
Xu Mo suspected Gao Liyuan was just trying to take advantage of him,
to get closer and steal some affection.
But he didn’t have any solid proof.
Meanwhile, on the other side…
“So, Xu Shi, what did you think of those luxury apartments we just saw?”
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled warmly at Xu Shi.
Xu Shi was utterly confused.
She had been planning to discuss the next steps in their plan to deal with Lin Fan with An Youyi,
but halfway through, Zhou Qiaoqiao showed up
and dragged her along to look at properties.
After walking around for a while,
Xu Shi was still in a daze.
Zhou Qiaoqiao waved her fair, jade-like hand in front of her.
"Xiao Shi? Are you listening?"
"Ah... yes, yes!" Xu Shi smiled, then added, "Everything's great. The decor really suits my taste."
Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded and turned to the saleswoman beside her.
"This one, this one, the three empty ones next to it, and the ones we saw earlier—I'll take all of them."
The saleswoman looked utterly shocked, stammering, "Ms. Zhou, are you sure? That's... that's a total of ten units."
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled, "Yes, I want all ten!"
"Qiaoqiao, are you crazy? Why buy so many properties?"
Xu Shi was puzzled.
Although they weren't short on money,
this was Tomson Riviera!!
Each unit was worth a small fortune!
The three large penthouses they had seen earlier were the most expensive here.
One cost 160 million Dragon Currency.
That's roughly 1.6 billion.
Zhou Qiaoqiao said matter-of-factly, "When we get old, I can collect rent from your brother and be a landlady."
The saleswoman: My mind is blown for the next decade!
You're spending over a billion just to be a landlady?
Wouldn't it be better to put that money in the bank and earn interest?
Or invest it in something.
Or just keep it.
The saleswoman was on the verge of tears.
This was perhaps the difference in mindset between the elite and ordinary people.
Xu Shi was equally stunned!
I thought of you as a sister.
But you actually want to be my sister-in-law?
Are you out of your mind?
Xu Shi swallowed hard, "Qiaoqiao, buying these properties isn't very cost-effective. With the money you're spending, you could almost buy land and build your own complex."
"At first, I thought you were buying them to live in, but now you're planning to rent them out. It's not easy to find tenants who can afford to live here."
Xu Shi kindly reminded her.
She felt a little sour inside.
This rich woman is just too loaded!
Zhou Qiaoqiao chuckled as she looked at her, "I know that. This afternoon, accompany me to look at some villas in other areas."
"Ah???? You're still buying more?" Xu Shi was dumbfounded.
Zhou Qiaoqiao replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Of course. What else? If your brother doesn't like living in apartments, then we'll move to a villa."
Xu Shi: ......
I'm completely losing it here!!!!
You really want to be my sister-in-law.
You had Xu Mo in your previous life.
This time, it should be my turn, right?
Xu Shi was now questioning her entire existence.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qiaoqiao turned to the stunned saleswoman.
"Can we finish the paperwork today?"
"Yes! Ms. Zhou, would you like to apply for a loan?"
"A loan? Why would I need a loan to buy properties? I'll pay in full."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me."
The saleswoman kept nodding and apologizing.
Her attitude couldn't have been more respectful.
Her tone couldn't have been more humble!
She definitely knew who Zhou Qiaoqiao was.
And this woman had just bought ten properties in one go, paying in full!
After closing this deal,
she could buy a sports car and a house herself!
Thankfully, the manager wasn't around!
And Zhou Qiaoqiao had specifically chosen her.
The other colleagues could only watch in envy and jealousy!
At this point, she wouldn't just call Zhou Qiaoqiao "ma'am."
She'd even call her "mom" if needed.
It wasn't that she was getting carried away.
Nor had she forgotten her own name.
It was just that Zhou Qiaoqiao was offering too much.
I can totally do this~~~
