Chapter 82: “Is that so? Very Outstanding?”

He threw out most of the money he had on hand.

There were long-term investments, short-term investments, and mid-term investments, all sorts.

After Xu Mo and Tang Lei finished their busy work, they still tried their best to return to school for classes, aiming not to fall behind in their studies.

“Xu Mo, Liu Ya from your department seems pretty good, doesn’t she? She’s been looking for you a lot lately?” Tang Lei seemed to have noticed something, and he teased him during lunch that day.

Xu Mo glanced at him: “Don’t get any weird ideas!”

“This Liu Ya is quite well-known. She’s so pretty, and many people are chasing after her! She must be interested in you; otherwise, she wouldn’t keep looking for you!” Tang Lei laughed.

Xu Mo didn’t explain.

The girl named Liu Ya was also a freshman. She was indeed beautiful, with a tall and graceful figure, a delicate face, and flowing long hair.

Xu Mo had met her in a club they both joined. She must have heard about the things Xu Mo was doing outside, so she would come looking for him from time to time.

Xu Mo had no interest in her at all. Having spent twenty years in a state of spiritual wandering, he had seen far more than the average person and was no longer a hot-blooded youth.

Now, aside from money and power, Xu Mo didn’t care about anything else.

“Tang Lei, do you think there’s any chance that Fengxiang Jewelry’s gold is counterfeit?” Xu Mo asked Tang Lei.

“Counterfeit?” Tang Lei was surprised.

“Some of the well-selling products have insufficient gold purity! I need to list a few items and see if I can find an agency to test them several times!”

Tang Lei couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “Xu Mo… do we really have to do this?”

“Yes!” Xu Mo replied firmly.

“Actually, I don’t recommend doing this! Even if they’re not good, we can just stay away from them. Why make things so complicated?” Tang Lei sighed.

“You don’t understand!” Xu Mo responded.

“Alright! I don’t understand! But if you want to do it, I won’t stop you. Just make sure it doesn’t cause any big trouble!” Tang Lei shrugged.

Xu Mo nodded.

Tang Lei had a rather honest personality. He was a tech geek, naturally shy and introverted, but Xu Mo had brought him out of his shell over the past few months, making him a bit more outgoing and confident.

In the past, he longed for his parents and family. His parents might still be alive now, but ever since he found out that his parents had abandoned him, he no longer held any expectations.

This guy, in their team, played the role of the diligent worker, unafraid of hardship or exhaustion. He worked tirelessly, never complaining. His academic foundation was extremely solid, the kind of person who was steady and dependable for life.

Otherwise, after Xu Mo’s death in his previous life, he wouldn’t have achieved such remarkable results.

Seeing that Tang Lei didn’t try to persuade him, Xu Mo continued eating while calculating some things in his mind.

After a while, a young girl suddenly came over with her meal and sat down across from Xu Mo.

Xu Mo and Tang Lei immediately glanced at her, frowning.

After class today, they were having lunch in the school cafeteria. It was peak time, and the cafeteria was quite crowded.

This young girl had a graceful figure, flowing long hair, and fair skin. She was exceptionally beautiful, almost goddess-like.

She was the sixth child of the Xu family, Xu Yuanchan!

“Liu Ya! Sit here!”

After Xu Yuanchan sat down, she called out to a pretty girl.

This girl, who appeared younger, had an oval face and a tall, slender figure. When she saw Xu Mo and Tang Lei, her eyes lit up, and she sat down next to Xu Mo.

“Hello, Xu Mo and classmate Tang!” The girl with the oval face greeted them with a smile.

Xu Mo and Tang Lei knew her. She was Liu Ya, a girl from the same club as Xu Mo. They had interacted a few times.

So, she knew Xu Yuanchan.

Xu Mo and Tang Lei exchanged glances, unsure of Xu Yuanchan’s intentions. They picked up their lunch boxes, intending to leave.

Xu Yuanchan laughed and said, “Do you dislike me that much? Can’t we even meet?”

Hearing this, Xu Mo sat back down and replied, “I’ve heard that you’re quite the playgirl at Tsinghua, changing boyfriends one after another!”

“You…” Xu Yuanchan was taken aback.

“What’s the name of your latest one? Zhao Jing? That rich kid?” Xu Mo said calmly. “I suppose all the Xu family’s children are the same, looking decent on the surface but filthy behind the scenes!”

Xu Yuanchan was stunned, her eyes widening in anger. “Xu Mo, I warn you, you can insult me, but I won’t tolerate you insulting Big Sister and Second Elder Sister! They have always been very outstanding!”

“Is that so? Very outstanding?” Xu Mo replied disdainfully. “Outstanding in falsifying things? Outstanding in framing others without batting an eye? Outstanding in lying without a second thought? These are all your sisters’ special skills, aren’t they?”

“You… I warn you not to talk nonsense! I came here specifically to see you! I know you’re impressive, but I don’t want to get angry with you!” Xu Yuanchan’s face instantly turned angry upon hearing this.

“I don’t want to get angry with you either! But I’m warning you, Xu Yuanchan, you’d better stay out of my business! Otherwise, you’ll suffer!” Xu Mo said.

“Who wants to meddle in your business? I don’t! If it weren’t for Fifth Sister asking me, I wouldn’t have bothered to come see you!” Xu Yuanchan retorted angrily.

“In that case, get lost already!” Xu Mo replied disdainfully.

“I came to see you to tell you that Mom is sick. She’s at the Xu family villa in the west of the city. Fifth Sister wants you to go see Mom and her!” Xu Yuanchan quickly explained.

Xu Mo immediately laughed. “Sick again? Why isn’t she dead yet?”

Xu Yuanchan was stunned, staring at him in disbelief.

“Forget it! Since you rarely offend me, I can’t be bothered to scold you! Just take care of yourself!” Xu Mo said, curling his lip.

Xu Yuanchan angrily retorted, “Xu Mo, are you even speaking like a human? How can you say such things?”

“Is this the first time you’ve heard it?” Xu Mo looked at her.

Xu Yuanchan couldn’t help but feel furious. “It doesn’t matter if it’s the first time or not, you shouldn’t say such things! Big Sister and Second Elder Sister have already apologized to you, what more do you want?”

Xu Mo laughed instantly. “Xu Yuanchan, I advise you to stay out of these matters, or you’ll have even more trouble on your hands! What have you been secretly up to lately? Planning to change boyfriends again? Don’t need Zhao Jing anymore?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanchan’s face turned pale in an instant.

“Enough! I don’t want to meddle in your affairs either! I’m just advising you to be kind,” Xu Mo said coldly. “If you enjoy playing with fire, you’ll eventually get burned!”

Xu Yuanchan was shocked that Xu Mo knew about her affairs.

She quickly glanced around and saw that there was no one else listening except Liu Ya sitting opposite her and Tang Lei beside her, which relieved her.

“Xu., Xu Mo, how do you know about this?” She hurriedly lowered her voice, asking cautiously.

Xu Mo burst into laughter immediately, looking at her with disdainful eyes.

He didn’t say anything, finished the last few bites of his meal, and then got up with Tang Lei to leave.

“Xu Mo, Xu Mo?” Xu Yuanchan called out urgently.

But Xu Mo completely ignored her and walked towards the exit.

“This is infuriating!” Xu Yuanchan stamped her foot in frustration.

“Senior Xu, are you…” Liu Ya looked at Xu Yuanchan, visibly surprised.

Xu Yuanchan immediately turned to her and said abruptly, “My Fifth Sister meant for you to get to know him better! Xu Mo has been busy with the company lately, and his work seems quite significant! You should have already noticed some of it!”

“I… I’ve noticed some,” Liu Ya replied.

“Then what do you think?” Xu Yuanchan asked her.

Liu Ya gave a bitter smile. “He didn’t even glance at me! It seems like he already knows my intention to get close to him and is very resistant to it.”

“This Xu Mo…” Xu Yuanchan sighed helplessly, stomping her foot. “He’s driving me crazy! Forget it! I’ll talk to him again tomorrow!”
