Chen Mo did not like Gong Zili, but she was his future sister-in-law, and it was just a meal. Chen Mo had no choice but to agree.
On the other side, in a Starbucks in the city center.
Gong Zili's mouth was about to fall to the sky after she finished the call.
"Lili, who called?"
The person who spoke was Gong Zili's best friend, Zhang Ning, who was also celebrating her birthday this time.
Other than her, there was also a tall and beautiful woman sitting next to her. Both of them were Gong Zili's childhood friends.
"Don't mention it. My sister said that she was worried about me and insisted that her boyfriend come over to look after me.”Gong Zili said with a troubled expression.
"Boyfriend? Was it that tall, rich, and handsome man called Chu Tian?”Zhang Ning asked curiously.
"If it were Brother Chu Tian, would I be so annoying?
It's her new boyfriend."
"New friend?"
Zhang Ning was extremely curious and gossiped,"
"Quickly tell us, is that person handsome? What was his family background like? How is he compared to our Wu Junfan?"
Wu Junfan was Zhang Ning's boyfriend. He looked like a movie star and was the captain of the school's soccer team. His family was in the hotel business, so their status in Jiangbei was only one level lower than the Gong family.
There were a lot of girls chasing after him, and Zhang Ning had used all his skills to hook up with them, so he had always been proud of it.
"You gold-digger. Do you think our Sister Ziyuan is as shallow as you? Do you think she only looks at her appearance and family background when she finds a boyfriend?”The cold and beautiful best friend beside her pursed her lips.
"So what if it depends on looks and family background? Besides, our Sister Ziyuan is the eldest daughter of the Gong family. She's not a handsome man. Her family has no money or power. How can she be worthy of her?”Zhang Ning said confidently.
"Hey, don't say anymore.
My sister's new boyfriend is called Chen Mo. His parents are poor farmers.”
"The weirdest thing is that this person is a fraud!
He claimed to be the reincarnation of the White Dragon King and could tell people's fortunes.
Relying on this set of tricks, he earned a little money and fooled my sister.”Gong Zili said.
"A fortune teller?"
The two best friends were stunned.
They had known Gong Ziyuan since they were young.
How high was Gong Ziyuan's standards?
Even Chu Tian, the young master of the Chu family from the provincial capital, could not enter her eyes!
Who would have thought that she would actually find such a poor and powerless fraud as her boyfriend!
"That's right! Chen Mo really pissed off Brother Chu Tian and my dad during my sister's birthday party.”Gong Zili said indignantly.
"Heavens, what kind of weirdo is this? He even dares to anger Uncle Gong?"
" I'll teach him a lesson when he comes later," Zhang Ning said indignantly." I'll let him know what's the difference between heaven and earth!"
A fraud wants to take advantage of my Sister Ziyuan? Is he worthy?"
Soon, Chen Mo arrived. He saw the three of them as soon as he entered.
In the year 2000, it was still considered a high-end place of consumption. Ordinary people had never even heard of this brand.
Gong Zili's social circle was filled with rich kids. They especially liked to come to such places that were particularly rich. They gathered, chatted, drank coffee, and enjoyed the leisure time of the rich.
Even in this era, Gong Zili was still the most popular person in Starbucks.
The main reason was that she was too beautiful. She looked 90% similar to Gong Zili and stood out among a group of rich children.
Her two best friends were also top-notch beauties. They would be the campus belles of any university. When the three of them were together, they would become the most beautiful scenery in the entire Starbucks.
"Lili."
Chen Mo walked over politely and greeted her with a smile.
Even though Chen Mo did not like Gong Zili, he did not want to ruin their relationship because she was Gong Ziyuan's sister.
"Yes."
Gong Zili hummed in response and did not even look at Chen Mo.
Another friend with a hot figure and a cold demeanor glanced at Chen Mo before she picked up a magazine and started reading it in boredom. She did not even have the intention to greet Chen Mo. She was like a cold goddess.
"You're Chen Mo?" Zhang Ning looked at Chen Mo with disdain.
Her clothes added up to more than 30,000 yuan. Her bag was a limited edition Gucci bag, her clothes were LV, and her shoes were Chanel. There was not a single piece of clothing that was sold in China. She had specially gone abroad to buy them.
In 2000, many rich kids had never even heard of these luxury brands!
Chen Mo's clothes were made in China, and they probably cost less than a hundred yuan.
When the two of them stood together, they were simply a fairy and a poor boy!
"I want to ask who had the courage to pursue our Sister Ziyuan? Do you know how many suitors our Ziyuan has in Jiangbei? From the children of city leaders to millionaires, to postdocs who came back from studying abroad, they are all pursuers of our Ziyuan!
What about you? You have no money, no background, and no ability. Who gave you the courage to be with Sister Ziyuan so easily?”
Zhang Ning said disdainfully.
Gong Zili looked at Chen Mo gloatingly. She had no intention of helping him out.
On the contrary, the cold and aloof best friend pulled Zhang Ning and whispered,"Ning-Ning, don't go overboard!"
"Ziyuan and I are free to fall in love.”Chen Mo said calmly.
Chen Mo was now the richest man in Jiang Bei with a net worth of 3.65 billion!
If he was talking about climbing up the social ladder, it was Gong Ziyuan who climbed up the social ladder!
However, in Chen Mo's opinion, liking someone had nothing to do with their family background.
"Haha…"
Zhang Ning rolled his eyes at Chen Mo and sneered smugly.
Since she had achieved her goal, she did not want to waste any more time with Chen Mo. Hence, she picked up her coffee and started drinking.
Chen Mo sat down and ordered an iced latte.
Chen Mo glanced at the cold, pretty girl beside him and was stunned. A name popped up in his mind.
Lan Yun `er!
This was a big star who was named one of the four young female stars in the mainland in 2010!
Before 2010, Lan Yun 'er's journey was smooth sailing.
She studied science in high school, but she was admitted to the Imperial Capital Film Academy as the top scorer in both arts and culture. She was hired to film a movie before she graduated. Her first TV series in her third year," Twin Fate," won her the title of the youngest Golden Eagle Best Actress. After that, she released an album, became a spokesperson, and appeared in variety shows. Her popularity was a mess. In 2010, she reached her peak and became the top of the four young actresses in the mainland!
However, after 2010, Lan Yun `er was exposed to have offended the big shots in the industry. She was exposed to a lot of negative news, and then she was banned. Her career was bleak.
In 2011, Lan Yun 'er had gone completely bankrupt and suffered from depression. She only lived on a low living allowance. Despite this, Lan Yun 'er was still being followed by the paparazzi, who reported her recent situation and used the words "Four Crazy Kings" to harass and torture her, making her unable to find a normal job.
In 2013, unable to withstand the double pressure of mental and economic pressure, Lan Yun 'er committed suicide in her rented house. At the age of 30, she ended her life as gorgeous as summer flowers.
At that time, the only movie star Chen Mo liked was Lan Yun `er. When he found out that she had committed suicide, Chen Mo felt terrible for a long time.
"Since ancient times, beauties have been unlucky…"
Chen Mo sighed.
Lan Yun `er noticed the pity in Chen Mo's eyes and frowned. She turned around and asked,"
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"Yes, I can see that your fate is a little bumpy.”Chen Mo nodded.
"Oh, really?"
Lan Yun `er said disdainfully,"Did you use the same excuse to flirt with Sister Ziyuan?"
If that's the case, then I'm sorry, but this won't work on me.”
"Hey, fortune-teller, since you're so good at it, why don't you read her fortune too? If you're right, I'll bring you along for today's dinner.”Zhang Ning laughed provocatively.
Chen Mo wanted to help the celebrity he liked in his previous life, so he said,"
"I figured out that you're a high school student, and your surname is rather rare. Hmm…it should be 'Lan', right?”
Lan Yun `er was stunned. She did not expect Chen Mo to be right.
"My name is easy to find out.”Lan Yun `er asked.
"You're an art student, and you're preparing to take the arts exam.”Chen Mo said.
" Pfft, hahaha…"
"I told you you were a fraud!" Zhang Ning laughed maniacally. My Yuner is a science student, how can she take the art exam?”
However, Lan Yun `er was so surprised that her mouth was slightly open, and her face was filled with disbelief.
She had indeed secretly signed up for the arts examination this year. Not to mention her best friend, even her parents did not know about this!
Chen Mo ignored Zhang Ning and continued,""Your ideal university is the Imperial Capital Film Academy. In the future, you want to be an actress and become a big star.”
"How do you know all this?" Lan Yun `er said in disbelief.
"Am I right?" Chen Mo smiled.
"All of them!" Lan Yun `er nodded fiercely. She looked at Chen Mo differently.
"What?"
This time, it was Zhang Ning's turn to be dumbfounded.
She did not even know about all this, but Chen Mo was right about everything?
Did he really know how to read fortunes?
Shaking his head, Zhang Ning snorted and said,"
"You just need to go to your school and ask around.”
Then, she looked at Chen Mo with disdain and said,"
"Looks like you're quite a playboy!
Not only did he spend a lot of effort on Ziyuan sis, but he also spent a lot of effort on our Yun `er.
Do you think we're fools?"
Gong Zili was also looking down on Chen Mo.
She did not expect Chen Mo to be such a playboy as well as a conman!
"Anything else?"
Lan Yun `er couldn't help but ask.
Even though she didn't believe in superstitious things, the man in front of her had a strange charm that made her choose to believe him.
"You will have a bright future and be the center of attention.
It's just that the waters of the entertainment industry run too deep. A weak woman like you can't grasp it…"
Chen Mo paused for a moment. He did not tell her about her tragic ending. Instead, he asked,"
"You want to live a peaceful and happy life.
Or do you want to be like the fireworks in the summer, burning up after a brilliant bloom?”
Lan Yun `er frowned as she felt that Chen Mo was implying something.
Just as he was about to continue asking, a group of handsome young boys and girls appeared outside the glass window of the starbucks and waved at them.
"It's Brother Fan!"
Zhang Ning immediately jumped up and his attitude changed 180 degrees. With a warm smile on his face, he waved to the outside and said,
"Let's go out and have fun!"
Chen Mo walked out of the starbucks and saw Zhang Ning holding the arm of a tall and handsome young man. His pupils constricted.
Wu Junfan!
In his previous life, Chen Mo worked in Wu Junfan's company.
Knowing that Chen Mo was short of money and did not dare to resign, Wu Junfan made Chen Mo do the work of three people on his own. He was forced to work overtime until midnight every day. Even so, he made things difficult for Chen Mo and used all sorts of excuses to deduct his bonus.
"Ning-Ning, who is this?" Wu Junfan hugged Zhang Ning and looked at Chen Mo in confusion.
Chen Mo looked about the same age as them, but his attire and behavior made him look mature and steady, just like his father's generation.
"Sister Ziyuan's boyfriend, a fortune-teller who scams people for money. He's here to freeload.”Zhang Ning whispered into Wu Junfan's ear.
Wu Junfan looked at Chen Mo with disdain.
He took the initiative to reach out his hand and said,
"Wu Junfan, Ningning's husband, his family runs a business. The supermarket behind is owned by our family.
Kid, you must be quite capable to be able to catch up to Sister Ziyuan! I wonder where he is working and what his family does?”
She knew that Chen Mo was from a village, yet she brought up her family background and asked Chen Mo what his family did for a living.
It was obvious that he wanted to stomp on Chen Mo in front of everyone!
Chen Mo did not even look at him. He lit a cigarette and continued smoking."Chen Mo is starting his own business now. His parents are farmers.”
In his previous life, Wu Junfan had always lectured Chen Mo like he was his grandson. Chen Mo did not want to have anything to do with this rich kid in this life.
"Pfft…"
Wu Junfan was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You're really amazing to be able to say that you don't have a job!”
The other rich second-generation heirs were also holding back their laughter.
Unemployed vagrant, or farmer…
Wasn't this obviously a gigolo who lived off a woman!
"At least you know what's good for you!”
Wu Junfan thought that Chen Mo was admitting defeat by admitting that he had no job and was a farmer. He ignored Chen Mo and waved his hand smugly. He gathered everyone to discuss their next course of action.
Chen Mo rolled his eyes helplessly.
He had indeed started his own business and was now the richest man in Jiangbei.
He didn't think that his identity as a farmer was lowly.
On the contrary, it was the countryside that had honed Chen Mo's tenacious and hardworking character. He was very grateful for his identity as a farmer.
"Brothers, let's go. I'll treat you to karaoke at the Imperial KTV and celebrate Ningning's birthday!”
After discussing for a while, Wu Junfan said loudly, and the group burst into cheers.
"Imperial KTV?"
Chen Mo furrowed his brows. He was getting impatient.
That was the most luxurious KTV in Jiangbei City!
According to the playstyle of this group of rich second-generation heirs, they would probably have to pull an all-nighter!
He still had to accompany Gong Ziyuan at night. How could he have so much time to be crazy with this group of brats?
The city center was very far from here.
This group of rich second-generation heirs had about twenty people, but they drove ten cars!
Mercedes-Benz E, Audi A4, Lexus…
Even though it was far from the car that Chen Mo gave Gong Ziyuan, it was still considered a luxury car that middle-class families would not dare to buy in Jiang Bei in the year 2000.
The key was that these people were not even 20 years old, but they could already drive a car that cost 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. It was obvious that their families were very rich!
The best car was Wu Junfan's BMW, which cost more than 900,000 yuan.
Gong Zili and Zhang Ning got into his car excitedly.
The others also cheered and got into the car.
In the end, Chen Mo was the only one left standing there.
At that moment, Wu Junfan suddenly remembered Chen Mo. He slapped his forehead and said,"
"Aiya, I almost forgot about our great fortune teller!
Look, our cars are all luxury cars. It's quite expensive to clean them up. It's not suitable for you to sit in them.”
"How about this? Here's 20 yuan. You can take a taxi. You can keep the rest of the money.”
