Xu Shi was utterly shocked.
She bit her lip, her eyes filled with complexity and confusion as she asked,
"Did Qiaoqiao-jie's house burn down or something?"
"Otherwise, why would she buy so many at once?"
In the VIP reception room.
Zhou Qiaoqiao decisively signed her name on the little notebook.
---Xu Mo's name.
As she put it,
What's Xu Mo's is hers.
What's hers is still hers.
*Ahem*...
When one has money,
They want to buy everything they see, desire everything they encounter.
For Zhou Qiaoqiao now,
1.85 billion feels like a hundred bucks to ordinary people.
She spends it without a second thought.
Zhou Qiaoqiao took a sip of premium black tea and said nonchalantly,
"Something like that."
"Out with the old, in with the new."
Xu Shi nodded, though she didn't fully understand.
Her gaze flickered to the name on the property deed.
It said "Xu," not "Zhou."
Wait... what?
Xu Shi's heart skipped a beat.
The big sis was panicking hard.
What's going on here?
What are you trying to pull?
You bought so many properties at once,
And it's not for yourself,
But for my brother?
What's your angle?
Speak up!
Xu Shi's face stiffened. "Qiaoqiao-jie, did you write the wrong name?"
Hearing this,
Zhou Qiaoqiao took a closer look and suddenly frowned.
"Oh, you're right."
Xu Shi's hope was reignited!
The little sis was fully revived.
But then Zhou Qiaoqiao's next move
Drained her life bar again.
Zhou Qiaoqiao picked up the pen, scribbled something, looked at the notebook, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Now the character 'Mo' looks much better. Perfect."
Xu Shi was so embarrassed her skull was about to fly off.
"Qiaoqiao-jie, that's not what I meant!
Please don't misunderstand me!!!
What I meant was: Why did you put my brother's name on the property deed?
Our family isn't short on money!!"
*Sigh*... Women...
If you're trying to dazzle us siblings with material wealth,
I advise you to drop that idea.
It's meaningless.
Just robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Xu Shi's mind was a mess.
She felt like her head was splitting in two.
Bigger than her mountains.
After setting up so many schemes,
If she capsized in the gutter now,
Wouldn't all her efforts go to waste?
A sense of impending crisis rose in Xu Shi's heart.
Money makes the world go round.
With the power of wealth,
The saleswoman and her colleagues
Were ten times more efficient than usual!
Don't get the wrong idea.
Those who can afford to buy here
Naturally have high standards of service.
But this time, Zhou Qiaoqiao bought ten units!
Their efficiency skyrocketed!
Reached its peak!
Within an hour,
All the paperwork was done!
There was supposed to be a raffle,
A ten-draw.
But Zhou Qiaoqiao wasn't interested in the small gifts.
Holding ten red property deeds,
She dragged Xu Shi off to lunch.
After all, they still had more properties to check out in the afternoon.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's general plan was:
Buy a villa—buy an apartment—buy a villa—buy an apartment.
Did you really think she'd be satisfied with just the properties at Tomson Riviera?
She definitely wanted the ones near the school district too.
As for villas,
Different environments affect a child's growth differently.
Basically, the vibes are different.
With so many properties,
She and Xu Mo couldn't possibly live in all of them!
Enough to house a soccer team!
Even if other women came to share the pie,
She wouldn't mind.
Like Yang Jingying!
Just kidding.
As the main wife, would she fear the concubines?
Would the big wife fear the little wives?
For a little wife to enter the family,
She'd have to get past the parents.
If you're going to be a little wife,
You better know your place.
You can only curry favor with Xu Mo.
But as the main wife, she gets both sides.
She can even use the parents to influence the little wives.
Others might do that,
But Zhou Qiaoqiao wouldn't.
She wanted to see Yang Jingying's humiliated and resentful expression.
Phoenix Community.
"I've already had someone bring you back. You can come down and get it yourself later."
"Okay."
Gao Liyuan replied listlessly.
After spending more time together,
She realized that the female lead Xu Mo mentioned wasn't just her.
She quickly wondered if other women could also hear Xu Mo's thoughts!
If so,
Then she wasn't the only one.
"Married, married, but the bride isn't me.
You're getting married, but the bride isn't me. In this lonely corner, I wipe away my tears."
Xu Mo: -_-||
Before lunch,
Gao Liyuan was very interested in him.
After lunch, it was like this.
Maybe the novelty wore off.
Xu Mo thought to himself.
But this was for the best.
"Well... *cough* goodbye."
The sports car turned around, and Xu Mo closed the window.
He was still him.
A different kind of spark.
A lone wolf.
As for seeing each other again?
It's better if they never meet again.
When the crooked-mouthed dragon king protagonist Lin Fan starts causing trouble,
Then you can come out and start your performance.
Not long after Xu Mo drove away,
Gao Liyuan's beloved electric scooter was delivered.
The person confirmed it and left.
Gao Liyuan furrowed her delicate brows and muttered to herself,
"Maybe I really am one of a kind?
Maybe only I can hear Xu Mo's thoughts?"
Even she didn't believe her own words.
Earlier, at the birthday party of Yang Jingying, the future heir of the Yang Group,
She proposed to Xu Mo.
She was also one of the female leads.
Now it seemed there was indeed a problem!
And that Shen Manni.
Xu Mo wasn't really a simp!
The simp was actually around me.
*Ahem*... Gao Liyuan couldn't possibly be the simp.
Back to the point.
There were many things she wanted to confirm.
The female lead situation was one thing.
The other was the matter of Lin Fan.
From what Xu Mo implied, Lin Fan was the so-called protagonist of this world.
With heaven-defying luck, all sorts of beauties would throw themselves at him.
Gao Liyuan scoffed.
What a cheapskate!
Useless at everything else, but great at haggling.
"First, I need to get Yang Jingying's contact info."
Soon,
Gao Liyuan set herself a goal.
When the elevator reached the 14th floor,
Gao Liyuan opened the door and entered her nest.
Only then did she realize something was off.
"Damn it! I forgot to buy my soda! I have no happiness now!"

iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
