Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 260: Chapter 185: The Heir of the Ross Family is Moved

“Mr. Chu, there’s a situation.”

Standing respectfully by Chu Mo’s side was Jiang Tao, towering at two meters in height, with a pair of eyes as big as copper bells and a commanding presence.

He was dressed in a black suit with a bowtie, his brown leather shoes polished to a shine.

The noodle shop had nearly twenty customers, largely students from the University of Science and Technology who came to eat after class. The prices were moderate, the portions generous and filling, which made it a popular choice among those from more modest backgrounds. At that moment, all eyes were fixed on the imposing figure of Jiang Tao.

Chu Mo merely glanced at him from the corner of his eye and spoke in a flat, lazy tone:

“Speak.”

With permission, Jiang Tao took out a phone, turned on the screen, and solemnly handed it to Chu Mo, saying:

“Mr. Chu, please have a look.”

Chu Mo casually glanced at the phone and saw an enlarged photo—a crowd gathered around two young men in the middle, shaking hands and conversing.

The background of the photo was Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, surrounded by dozens of luxury cars and over a hundred bodyguards standing guard. The photo was taken from a high angle, which suggested that the photographer was on a tall building opposite Tianxiang Garden.

Of course, the two individuals at the center of everyone’s attention were none other than Chu Mo and the heir to the Ross family.

He had been careful about protecting his privacy, yet someone had still managed to take his photo.

Chu Mo scrolled through the photo to find it was part of a news article. Turning to the front, he saw the headline.

“Shocking identity of Red Chess Car team leader revealed in the Magic Capital.”

It was probably a piece from the uc Shock Department.

As Chu Mo was about to read on, the noodle shop owner’s enthusiastic voice suddenly rang out.

“Here are your noodles, gentlemen.”

The still-charming middle-aged proprietress brought two steaming bowls to the table, and Chu Mo noticed that the two girls sitting nearby were looking at him with a peculiar gaze.

“Chu, what’s going on?”

The blond youth asked in perfectly enunciated Hua Country language, prompting Chu Mo to shake his head with a smile. He gestured for Jiang Tao to step back, which he did with a bow, and then Chu Mo said with a chuckle:

“Nothing serious, just a small matter at the company. Don’t worry about it. Try the noodles, the whole bowl is actually one single strand.”

Taking the cue without overthinking it, the blond picked up his chopsticks. Clearly trained in Hua Country etiquette, he deftly lifted the noodles with practiced ease, gave them a gentle blow to cool them down, and then started to savor them.

“Mr. Geng Pan, you must visit Hua Country often. You handle chopsticks so skillfully.”

When a girl has a crush on someone, even the way that person handles chopsticks can seem incredibly charming in her eyes.

The girl with the ponytail across from him was just like this, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the blond youth, her heart obviously captured by the humorous, gentlemanly, and talented heir to the Ross family.

Chu Mo, also picking up his chopsticks, didn’t immediately start eating. He first carefully sipped the scalding broth, the rich and delicious soup warming his stomach, and then he eagerly devoured the noodles.

The taste was exactly as before. For Chu Mo, who used to eat here often, encountering the familiar flavor after three months stirred a touch of emotion deep within him.

While eating, he picked up Jiang Tao’s phone again and idly browsed through the news he had seen before.

“Recently, a luxurious fleet has appeared on the streets of the Magic Capital. The entire fleet consists of more than forty luxury cars, each worth no less than ten million, with the leading vehicles being ten Red Chess…

It is reported that the fleet departed from Nanhong Airport and finally stopped in front of the Magic Capital’s only seven-star Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel. There were over a hundred security personnel on-site, and the two young men surrounded at the center were speculated to be, one of them, the reclusive owner of the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel…”

“What are you looking at?”@@novelbin@@

The gentle voice that suddenly emerged beside him interrupted Chu Mo’s thoughts. He put the phone away and looked at the long-haired girl next to him. While he had previously tried his best to catch her attention without success, now, when he had given up, she surprisingly initiated conversation.

After taking another sip of noodle soup and swallowing his mouthful, Chu Mo replied:

“Nothing much.”

The girl beside him with long, straight black hair tilted her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips. She gazed at him with her beautiful, twinkling eyes, playfully saying:

“The photo on that phone just now—that was you and the foreigner opposite you, wasn’t it? You two don’t stand out much, but that tall guy was very recognizable.”

She had recognized him.

Chu Mo felt no need to deny it—as strangers who had met by chance, they would go their separate ways after finishing their noodles, strangers once more. There was no point in lying.

He took out his phone again and quickly read through the entire news article. The content had no insinuations or personal attacks; it was all based on the opening image and mostly fabricated.

Most of the article revolved around the opulence of the cars, and the speculation about the identities of Chu Mo and Geng Pan was merely glossed over.

Chu Mo scrolled to the end of the article and read a few of the top comments. As expected, the comments were not substantial, largely revolving around discussions of the Red Chess Car.
