Chapter 63: The Battle of Heirs, Always Like This
Inside the Home Inn Hotel across from the school, Lin Mo was sitting on the bed being questioned by two people.
“Spit it out, did a rich woman come looking for you?” Wang Chu asked.
Sichuan Girl chimed in from the side: “Definitely! She looks so young though, is she even of age? Old Mo, we can’t do anything illegal!”
Miss Yuan only had a loli face and a petite figure, but she was no child.
“Get lost. She’s my big sister I got acquainted with during my internship, my gaming buddy, got it? Though she really is a rich woman, she’s not the one you guys are thinking of.” Lin Mo shot them both a glare.
Although Miss Yuan was indeed stunning, she was not his type. He only treated her like a brother, and their relationship was absolutely pure.
“What? There’s another one? How many girls have you been dating, kid?” Wang Chu exclaimed.
But Sichuan Girl remained skeptical: “Don’t believe his nonsense. If not that, then who would casually give him a car? And it’s even a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra. The car keys are right here as evidence.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo glared at them again, then pulled out his phone and called Miss Yuan in front of them, switching on speaker.
“Hello? What now?”
Yuan Meng’s voice came through the line.
“Sister Yuan, this car is useless sitting with me. I don’t drive well, and the school doesn’t even allow parking. How about I send it back to you?”
Her expression earlier had been pretty bad, and she didn’t even give him the chance to refuse before storming off. Thinking about it now, leaving the car with him was pointless and only made him nervous. It wasn’t worth it.
“I already said it wasn’t for you. Didn’t I tell you not to be so distant? But you’re the one acting distant now. Don’t worry, drive it boldly, it’s not even that expensive. I only bought it for fun, but I’m already bored of it.
Just use it as a run-around car. When I feel like driving it again, I’ll come take it from you. Okay, that’s it, I’m hanging up!”
The line went dead, leaving only the busy tone. Inside the room, the three of them looked at each other in silence.
“Heard that? What do you think the relationship between us is?” Lin Mo asked, holding up the phone.
Of course, he also understood that the bigger reason was that Miss Yuan saw the watch Liu Rushuang gave him and felt like he had profited unfairly. She couldn’t save face, especially since her rival was that annoying Emperor Rushuang.
So, she chose this way to make up for it. Saying it was only for him to drive and not a gift was just her way of preventing him from refusing.
“There are so many rich people, when will I ever be one of them...” Wang Chu howled.
Sichuan Girl, however, was fired up: “When I earn big money, I’m getting myself one too.”
Seeing the matter resolved, Lin Mo asked suspiciously: “By the way, why did you guys bring me to a hotel? Let’s go back to the dorms.”
“How could we go back now? The dorms are full of people. I came out in casual clothes, checked into a room here first, then put on makeup before heading out.” Sichuan Girl sighed helplessly. Now that school had started, things weren’t so convenient anymore. He then continued:
“Do you think I should just move out and rent a place nearby? It’d still be easy to go back to school when needed.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo and Wang Chu thought for a moment, then both nodded.
“If you don’t want everyone to find out yet, moving out is the best choice. If it’s nearby, you can still come back easily whenever there’s something at school.” Lin Mo gave a fair suggestion.
Wang Chu also chimed in: “Exactly. There’s still almost two months before campus recruitment. Unless you want to stop updating for a while, it’s better to move out temporarily and come back after recruitment.”
Indeed, with Sichuan Girl’s current mindset, if he wanted to keep updating, he either had to change his style or move out. The risk of being discovered in the dorm was too high.
Seeing them both agree, Sichuan Girl gritted his teeth and nodded:
“Alright, let’s do it soon. I’ll go check with a real estate agency later. Are you two free to come with me?”
Taking a break from updating was impossible. His account had just started gaining traction—he had to seize the opportunity to grow bigger and stronger.
As for changing his style, that was too hard and not an option.
“Alright, I’ll go with you,” Wang Chu volunteered.
Lin Mo waved his hand: “Count me out. I need to hit the library this afternoon. Once you find a place, I’ll help you move your stuff.
Also, you two should leave soon. I don’t think it’s safe here.”
He was eager to finish reading the first volume of Massage and Bone-Setting and had no time for anything else.
Hearing that, the two were confused.
“What’s dangerous about this?”
“Yeah, this is a hotel. What, is there going to be an earthquake?”
Lin Mo sighed helplessly: “And you call yourselves college students. Of course, two people in a hotel is fine. But in outsiders’ eyes, it’s two guys and one girl. If you don’t leave soon, I’m afraid the police uncle will come knocking!”
“Damn! No way!”
The two were startled and grew nervous.
Lin Mo ignored them and quickly left that troublesome place.
On his way back, he once again spotted the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra by the roadside. Looking at the keys in his hand, he reconsidered returning it right away—otherwise, Miss Yuan might really blow up.
At worst, he could just buy his own car later and return this one then. His savings would only increase in the future, so one car didn’t matter.
Meanwhile, Miss Yuan took a taxi home. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her brother Yuan Hua.
Yes, the very same name as the famous man holding a trident. Their parents were sitting on the sofa with displeased expressions.
“Brother? Weren’t you out of town? When did you come back?” Yuan Meng asked with a smile.
The man named was in his early thirties, wearing an expensive suit, with decent looks and a resemblance to Yuan Meng in his brows and eyes. He just wasn’t very tall, around 1.75 meters. At the moment, he wore a bitter smile.
But before Yuan Hua could speak, Yuan Guocheng—Miss Yuan’s father, in his early fifties, slightly overweight—snapped angrily:
“Good thing you came back! Hurry up and scold your brother. As soon as he heard that Rushuang came back, he ran back too, leaving the company over there unattended. If this keeps up, how’s he supposed to inherit my position in the future?”
Hearing that, Yuan Meng immediately knew her brother’s lapdog tendencies had flared up again.
“Yuanyuan, what made you come home today?” Mrs. Jiang asked from the side.
Ignoring her brother’s scolding, Yuan Meng smiled: “Just came back to grab a car, then I’ll head out again.”
“Grab a car? What about the one you just bought?” Mrs. Jiang asked.
So, Yuan Meng explained what had happened earlier.
“Since Liu Rushuang was so generous, I couldn’t be any less, right?”
Hearing that her daughter had let someone else drive her car, Mrs. Jiang didn’t get upset. Instead, she smiled: “That kid Xiao Lin isn’t bad. Just let him have it. We really did take advantage.”
“Xiao Lin? Is he the one who let your mom...” Old Yuan asked from the side.
Mrs. Jiang nodded. Clearly, she had a very good impression of Lin Mo.
“Hahaha, so it’s him! Not bad, that was well-handled. My daughter really did me proud. Go take your brother’s new car from the garage and drive it out. Just the sight of it annoys me!” Old Yuan laughed heartily.
He had personally experienced the changes in his wife lately—it had been wonderful for him.
“Okay, I’ll go now!” Yuan Meng grinned. Her brother’s new car was a McLaren. This was going to be fun.
“See that? Learn from your sister! Stop making me worry!” Old Yuan barked at his eldest son.
In response, Yuan Meng stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and patted her brother’s shoulder with a smile:
“Sorry, brother. The battle of heirs has always been like this!”
