The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 232 "Walls Have Ears" (4k)

April 2024, 1, sunny.

"Whoo-"

In the afternoon, accompanied by a slight sound from the smart door lock, Su Tang opened the door using fingerprint recognition.

On New Year's Eve, she and her three roommates, along with several classmates with whom she usually gets along well, rented a villa for a party and had a blast all night.

After they finished playing last night, they stayed at the villa. This morning, after she sobered up, she realized that she hadn't been careful and had spilled alcohol on her clothes, which is why they now smelled slightly of alcohol.

It just so happened that the villa party venue wasn't far from Park Hyatt Residence, so Su Tang went back there on the way. She planned to take a quick shower, change into clean clothes, and then go home to have a reunion dinner with her parents, so that her mother wouldn't nag her again after smelling the smell.

"Yo?"

"Momo's boyfriend hasn't left yet?"

As soon as Su Tang stepped inside, she immediately saw the men's leather shoes in the entryway, which made her, who was originally quite casual, instantly become cautious.

Su Tang knew that Xu Mo had spent New Year's Eve with her boyfriend.

She originally thought that since it was already afternoon, Xu Mo's boyfriend would either have already left or taken Xu Mo out of the house, and there shouldn't be anyone at home. But she didn't expect that he was still there.

For a moment, Su Tang was slightly at a loss.

She hesitated for a moment in the entryway, then decided to see how things went before making a decision.

So, Su Tang tiptoed to the edge of the entryway, then peeked into the living room and dining room. If she had to describe her actions in one word, it would be "stealth."

The living room is empty, the dining room is empty, the kitchen is empty, the public bathroom is empty...

"Are they still not awake?"

Su Tang muttered something to herself, and at the same time breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"If they're still not awake by now..."

Su Tang then had a sudden thought, and as a senior judo master, many explicit images immediately flashed through her mind.

The thought that Xu Mo, as the younger sister, had tasted the pleasures of a man before her older sister made her feel a mix of emotions.

Since Xu Mo and her boyfriend were both home, Su Tang decided to change her clothes and leave immediately.

They came quietly, and they left quietly.

To avoid any awkwardness if the two parties bump into each other later.

Thinking of this, Su Tang tiptoed out of the entrance hall, intending to rush straight into her room, but as she passed through the living room, she was attracted by the pile of exquisite gift boxes.

"A gift for every year of age..."

"Momo's boyfriend is quite thoughtful."

Su Tang's gaze swept across the area, finally settling on the mountain of gifts.

Compared to Xu Mo, Su Tang, who was raised in luxury from a young age, could easily discern the value of those gifts.

At first, Su Tang just looked around out of curiosity.

But as she looked at her, a hint of surprise appeared on her exquisite and radiant face.

The latest Leica digital camera, with its bright silver standalone body alone, has an official price of over 70,000 yuan. When paired with that professional lens, the total price easily exceeds 100,000 yuan.

The entire Orlane Gold Foil Royal Jelly skincare set is from Orlane, a truly top-tier luxury skincare brand that surpasses even La Mer in terms of prestige. A single 50ml bottle of the Gold Foil Royal Jelly face cream is worth nearly 5000 yuan.

This Orlane skincare gift set not only contains the entire range of gold foil royal jelly products, but also four of each type, making its total value comparable to the latest Leica digital camera mentioned earlier.

LV scarves, B&O desktop speakers, Hermès crossbody bags...

In today's internet age, giving a gift for each year of age is nothing new. Su Tang has not only seen it many times online, but even her friends have actually experienced similar things.

However, Su Tang had never seen such an extravagant annual birthday celebration. Just one of these items could probably be enough for an ordinary person to hold ten such ceremonies for their girlfriend.
The total value of everything Su Tang sees right now is probably over a million.

'Momo's boyfriend...'

'Just who is he?'

Su Tang's gaze unconsciously drifted to the door of the master bedroom. She had a strange urge to push the door open and see who was inside.

At the same time, Gu Heng's image inexplicably appeared in her mind.

It seems that among all the people she knows, only Gu Heng possesses such financial resources.

Su Tang, a woman as strong as an eagle, has always strived to be the best in everything since childhood.

Now, seeing how outstanding Xu Mo's boyfriend is and how generous he is to her, her competitive spirit, which she always wanted to be the best in everything, suddenly resurfaced.

'or……'

'I'll try asking Gu Heng out for dinner in a couple of days.'

'If we don't act more proactively, Yiyi might really win him over.'

Su Tang felt a sudden sense of urgency, because she believed that only by finding a man as perfect as Gu Heng could she maintain her authority as the "elder sister" in front of Xu Mo.

Because the timing was inappropriate, Su Tang didn't linger in the living room. She hurriedly went straight into her guest suite, changed into clean clothes as quickly as possible, and then planned to leave quietly.

However, as she passed by the master suite door, the faint sounds coming from inside made her stop in her tracks, as if some magical force was enticing her to approach the door.

"Brother~"

Those heart-stirring, melodious "brother" calls were filled with incredibly rich emotions, each one a completely instinctive response.

Hearing Xu Mo's voice coming from inside the door, Su Tang's heart pounded violently, making her feel a little dry-mouthed, dizzy, and lightheaded.

'Dead leg...'

'Hurry up and get going!'

Su Tang's reason urged her frantically to leave, but her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she could not take a single step. She could clearly feel her body temperature rising.

Xu Mo was originally a petite and beautiful girl, and her voice was always a very standard girlish voice, so her voice at this moment was particularly clear and pleasant.

As time went on, Su Tang gradually became more and more shocked.

'no……'

'I can't listen to this anymore.' Su Tang felt that if she listened any longer, she would collapse to the ground.

If Xu Mo or her boyfriend were to walk out of the door at that moment, the scene would be absolutely terrifying.

Thinking of that scene, Su Tang felt a surge of strength return to her body.

This time, she didn't even dare to approach the master bedroom door, and hurriedly left home.

……

Twenty minutes or so passed after Su Tang left.

The noise gradually subsided inside the master suite.

With a face full of spring-like joy, Xu Mo nestled in Gu Heng's arms, her petite body curled up, her clear, watery eyes brimming with surging love.

"elder brother……"

"Yeah~"

"That won't do."

Take Luo Xiwen and Jiang Ruan for example. Such situations only occur under very special circumstances, and usually only once.

This doesn't mean that the two had a worse experience than Xu Mo, but rather that this special situation varies from person to person and is a matter of individual constitution.

"It seems that my Momo won't have to do anything else tonight. Just washing the sheets will keep you busy for a while."

"Do not……"

"Don't say it."

Xu Mo was already embarrassed by her frequent reactions, and now, hearing Gu Heng tease her like this, she immediately buried her beautiful face in Gu Heng's neck again, and said in a muffled voice, "I will try my best to prevent this from happening in the future."

Why should we prohibit it?

"ah!"

"No...you mustn't say it!"

Xu Mo was so embarrassed by Gu Heng's words that she buried her head in shame again.

Thinking back to what the two of them had done last night, just thinking about it made her feel hot all over; it was truly too embarrassing.

Looking at Xu Mo's shy appearance, Gu Heng's eyes filled with even more love.

"Momo, today is New Year's Day."

Gu Heng stopped teasing Xu Mo and instead asked her, "What would you like to eat?"

"I can do it."

"Brother, you decide."

Xu Mo nestled against Gu Heng, silently recovering her stamina, which Gu Heng had just completely depleted.

"You like spicy food."

"Then let's go eat Sichuan food."

Gu Heng thought for a moment, taking Xu Mo's tastes into consideration, and made a suggestion.

"Okay!"

"I like it!"

As expected, Xu Mo's eyes lit up instantly.

"Then I'll have someone reserve a spot, and then we can take a shower now."

Gu Heng supported Xu Mo's slender waist and sat up from the head of the bed.

"Good~"

Xu Mo was very well-behaved.

"Um……"

"Momo, after we finish eating..."

"I might not be able to stay with you any longer; I have some things to take care of tonight."

Gu Heng hadn't told Xu Mo beforehand that he couldn't be with her on New Year's Day, but he had already promised Jiang Ruan that he would make dumplings with her when he got back tonight. So even though he knew that Xu Mo was most dependent on him right now, he still had to suggest leaving.

Put yourself in Jiang Ruan's shoes. She must have felt lonely and lost, spending New Year's Eve alone in her room. Moreover, Jiang Ruan's home is in a city far from Beichun, unlike Luo Xiwen who can go home and has family by her side.

To be a scumbag, you have to be able to treat everyone equally.

To treat everyone equally is the basic principle of a scumbag.

"Whoa whoa……"

"it does not matter."

"Brother, go ahead and do what you need to do."

"I'm already very, very, very happy that my brother can spend New Year's Eve with me."

Xu Mo appeared to be very well-behaved, sensible, and understanding, but Gu Heng still keenly noticed the fleeting hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"Momo, you don't need to be so sensible in front of me."

Gu Heng looked gently into Xu Mo's eyes, his voice filled with tenderness: "You can show me all your emotions."

"Good~"

Xu Mo felt her whole heart enveloped in warmth. Her eyes were slightly moist, but her smile was exceptionally bright, as if the sunlight had pierced through the dark clouds and cast its light onto the long-dark land.

Gu Heng pinched Xu Mo's cheek, then carried her off the bed and put her down at the entrance of the master bedroom bathroom. Looking at her rather strange walking posture, he felt a little regretful that he had been too inconsiderate last night.

He watched Xu Mo walk steadily into the shower area before turning around and heading towards the public bathroom, where he also went to take a shower...
