The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 321 The "Cousin" and "Brother-in-Law" Finally Meet (4k)

Night falls at Park Hyatt Residences.

In the spacious and bright living room, sisters Xu Mo and Su Tang sat around a soft and warm carpet, with a steaming hot pot of pork tripe and chicken in front of them, and a Doraemon movie playing on a large 100-inch TV in front of them.

"Sister, you haven't seemed to be in a good mood lately?"

Xu Mo glanced at Su Tang, who was frequently raising her glass to drink alone. She silently picked up her glass, took a sip with Su Tang, and then asked him somewhat cautiously.

"It's not that I'm in a bad mood, I'm just a little mentally exhausted."

When Su Tang heard Xu Mo's question, her movements stiffened slightly, and her expression became somewhat dejected.

Looking back on the past three months of the new semester, Su Tang felt like she was in a dream.

When winter break had just started, she acted like a queen in the dormitory, always maintaining a dominant position.

Lin Qingge, who tied for first place with her in her major upon entering university, was successfully overtaken by her in the final exams last semester, falling to second place.

Feng Yao, who was always competing with her, successfully suppressed her opponent with the "equipment" she borrowed from Xu Mo, forcing her to back down.

Before leaving school, she was as proud as a peacock.

But everything changed after the new semester started.

Lin Qingge, who had been successfully left behind by her, transformed into a major internet celebrity with nearly a million followers. Wherever she went in her daily life, she became the focus of attention, while Lin Qingge gradually became the background figure for her, and all the brilliance that originally belonged to her was overshadowed by her.

Then there's Feng Yao, who was always firmly suppressed by her. After returning to school for the new semester, she seemed to have become a completely different person. Not only were all her clothes and accessories top international luxury brands, but her face was also so tender that it looked like you could squeeze water out of it, and her hair became exceptionally soft and smooth.

Her overall demeanor seemed to have undergone a complete transformation. Before, Feng Yao always gave her the feeling of deliberately imitating a socialite, but after returning to school this time, she felt like she had become a real socialite.

The most noticeable change is that Feng Yao has become particularly relaxed.

In the past, Feng Yao cherished her bags very much, afraid of getting them dirty or damaged. They were usually either locked in her closet or on her person, and there was basically no other place where her bags might appear.

However, after the start of this semester, Feng Yao's attitude towards her expensive handbags completely changed.

Dormitory balconies, cafeteria tables, classroom desks, playground floors...

Feng Yao can easily let go of LV or Chanel items worth tens of thousands of yuan, showing she doesn't care at all.

However, what Su Tang found most unbearable was Feng Yao's attitude towards her. In the past, the two had been competing with each other for an entire semester, but after the new semester started, she found that Feng Yao no longer cared about her at all, as if she was no longer worthy of his attention. This was what she found most unacceptable.

From a proud queen like a peacock, she became a backdrop for others.

Such a huge gap was indeed a bit hard for Su Tang, who was always proud, to accept.

Su Tang had all sorts of guesses about the drastic changes in Lin Qingge and Feng Yao, but guesses were just guesses. Lin Qingge and Feng Yao remained tight-lipped, making it impossible for her to verify her guesses.

Fortunately, there was another nobody in the dorm, Liu Nanyi, who was there to keep her in check.

However, even though Liu Nanyi was at the bottom of the dormitory, she had an advantage that Su Tang and the others did not have: her relationship with Gu Heng. She was the girl with the closest relationship with Gu Heng among the four girls in the dormitory.

If one day, Liu Nanyi really becomes Gu Heng's girlfriend.

Given Gu Heng's status, wealth, and influence, Liu Nanyi would likely rise to prominence instantly, while simultaneously trampling her underfoot and relegating her to the bottom of the dormitory.

That's why she's been so depressed and anxious lately.

"Tons, tons, tons..."

Thinking of this, Su Tang couldn't help but raise her glass and drink again.

"Sister, slow down..."

"Don't drink too much again, or I won't be able to lift you."

Seeing this, Xu Mo couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Su Tang is a typical Northern beauty. Not only does her wrist line easily reach her crotch, but she also has a pair of perfectly shaped, long legs, which makes it impossible for her to be light.

If Su Tang really got drunk in the living room, Xu Mo, being so small, simply couldn't carry someone as big as Su Tang.

"Why are you lifting me up?"

"If I've had too much to drink, just let me sleep here."

"The house has underfloor heating, so I don't get cold."

As she spoke, Su Tang raised her long arm and pulled Xu Mo's petite body into her arms: "Come on, have some more with your sister. This is my first time trying pineapple sparkling water with Urumqi beer, and it tastes pretty good."

"you……"

"You can drink, but don't touch me like that!"

Feeling Su Tang's restless hands, Xu Mo's pale face flushed slightly, and she muttered to her sister with a lack of confidence.

"hey-hey……"

"It's been a while since I last touched her, and it seems like our Momo has really grown a little bit."

Su Tang flashed a smile, revealing her pearly white teeth. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were a little unfocused. Her smile was like that of a female rogue: "Looks like Momo's brother has been working really hard lately~"

Xu Mo pursed her pink lips, protected her steamed bun with her left hand, picked up her wine glass with her right hand, and then hummed and sang along with her cousin for another drink.

When is your brother coming to visit?

Su Tang asked Xu Mo, "Let me know in advance when you arrive, so I can make room for the two of you."

"I do not know."

“He’s been very busy lately, and I haven’t seen him for ten days.”

Xu Mo shook her head; under the influence of alcohol, her longing was clearly amplified.

Seeing Xu Mo's expression, Su Tang bit her lip, hesitant to speak, but ultimately couldn't help but ask, "Mo Mo, haven't you ever suspected that he has other women outside?"

As soon as Su Tang uttered those words, Su Tang could clearly feel the petite body in her arms suddenly stiffen.

"According to your description, he is young, rich, successful, handsome, and humorous. If he were truly as perfect as you say, he would never lack beautiful girls around him, so..."

As Su Tang said this, Gu Heng's image inexplicably appeared in her mind. She thought about how he made no attempt to hide his relationship with all four girls in their dormitory at the same time, and how they knew he was doing this, yet none of them were willing to leave early.

Her thoughts raced, and a complex look flashed in her eyes: "Momo, you need to be prepared. He might be a romantic, but the probability of him being purely in love is extremely low."

"Sister, I don't want to think about that."

Xu Mo was silent for a moment, then looked up into Su Tang's eyes and said very seriously, "As long as he still loves me and there is still a place for me by his side, I will never leave him, unless one day he tells me by his own mouth that he doesn't want me anymore."

"Are you sure he loves you?"

Su Tang felt that Xu Mo was a bit love-struck.

"I am sure."

"Pretty sure."

Xu Mo answered without any hesitation, with absolute certainty.

Recalling the trust beneficiary agreement that Gu Heng had given her some time ago, recalling the 50 million yuan in trust funds within it, and recalling those extremely comprehensive special rights...

If these aren't expressions of Gu Heng's love for her, then what are they?

Love is invisible, yet it is everywhere.

My sister always says she's love-struck, but she doesn't realize that the key to being love-struck is feeling love! If she didn't feel love, how could she possibly become love-struck?

People online mock those who are obsessed with love, but what's wrong with being obsessed with love?

They simply love someone wholeheartedly, but most of the time it's the other person who changes their mind first, which ultimately makes those love-struck fools look like clowns.

Faced with Xu Mo's unwavering determination, Su Tang was momentarily at a loss for words.

However, at this moment.

"Whoo-"

The smart lock in the entryway suddenly made a sound, and then the security door was opened from the outside.

The two sisters were startled when they heard the sound.

However, Xu Mo was pleasantly surprised, while Su Tang was terrified.

Xu Mo's surprise was simple: only three people had their fingerprints registered in this apartment in Park Hyatt Mansion—herself, her cousin, and Gu Heng.

Now that she and her cousin were both home, it meant that the person opening the front door must be her beloved Gu Heng. So, after her initial surprise, she stood up from the cashmere carpet and ran barefoot towards the entrance without even putting on her slippers.

Su Tang's panic stemmed from being caught off guard. After all, she had never met Xu Mo's boyfriend before, and tonight was their first meeting. To appear drunk and unkempt was truly embarrassing.

She wanted to run away, but since she had already run into her, and was now in the house that Xu Mo had rented, it would be too impolite to just barge into her bedroom without even saying hello.

She watched as Xu Mo ran towards the entrance, so she had no choice but to stand up, leaning on the sofa, and quickly tidied her hair.

……

"Brother~"

"You're back~"

Xu Mo was already missing Gu Heng terribly, and with the added influence of alcohol, she ran barefoot to the entrance hall. Upon seeing Gu Heng, she jumped onto him, clinging to him like a little sloth.

"Drinking?"

"Eating hot pot?"

Gu Heng naturally supported Xu Mo's little bottom with his left hand. As he changed his shoes, he smelled the scent of Xu Mo's hair and cheeks, his tone slightly surprised.

“You didn’t say you were coming today, so my cousin and I had hot pot at home.”

Xu Mo responded truthfully, "In addition, my cousin has been in a bad mood lately, so I had some drinks with her."

"Just had a few drinks?"

Looking at the blush that appeared on Xu Mo's fair face, Gu Heng felt that she was especially cute: "You're getting a little cheeky."

My cousin likes to mix drinks.

"Every time I drink, it's a mix of various beers, spirits, and soft drinks."

Xu Mo replied softly, "After she mixed those drinks, they were like beverages. I often got drunk after only two drinks."

"Yo?"

"Your cousin is quite capable."

In the afternoon, Gu Heng accompanied Tian Xiwei to Jingyuetan and then took her to the station. He had sobered up quite a bit from the alcohol he had drunk during the day and was also a little hungry.

Have you finished eating?

"Let's eat some more since we haven't finished. I'm a little hungry."

Gu Heng raised his hand and patted Xu Mo's little bottom: "Speaking of which, when we first met, I always heard you talking about your cousin, but we never had a chance to meet her. Today is a good day to get to know her."

Xu Mo and Gu Heng had known each other for almost half a year and had developed a tacit understanding. Now, Gu Heng simply patted her bottom, and she knew that he meant for her to get down. She immediately jumped off Gu Heng.

"Okay~"

My cousin has been wanting to meet you for a long time too!

Xu Mo took Gu Heng's hand, and the two walked towards the living room.

Soon, Gu Heng met Xu Mo's cousin whom he had never met before, and Su Tang finally met her brother-in-law whom she had never met before.

Their eyes met, and they were both stunned.

Gu Heng never expected that Xu Mo's cousin would be Su Tang, the girl he was targeting to wipe out in the dormitory.

Su Tang never expected that Xu Mo's boyfriend would be Gu Heng, the perfect boyfriend she had been dreaming of.

You know, just this morning before she left school, she sent Gu Heng several photos of her beautiful legs, and the two even had a somewhat ambiguous chat on WeChat at noon.

result……

Gu Heng is actually her "brother-in-law"?!

"Brother, this is my cousin Su Tang. She's a freshman in the vocal music department of Jilin University's College of Arts. She's the top student in her class."

Xu Mo didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Heng and Su Tang. After Gu Heng and Su Tang met, she took the initiative to introduce them: "Sister, this is my boyfriend Gu Heng. He started his own business in Beichun, mainly in the catering industry."

After a brief moment of surprise, Gu Heng quickly returned to normal.

His gaze lingered between Xu Mo and Su Tang. One was pure and lovely, the other bright and elegant. The two had no resemblance whatsoever in appearance or temperament. If he hadn't seen them with his own eyes today, he would never have thought of them as sisters.

"Hello, cousin."

"I'm Xu Mo's boyfriend. It's nice to meet you."

Just after Xu Mo finished introducing herself to Su Tang, Gu Heng stepped forward and extended his right hand towards her. His expression was extremely serious, as if the two were meeting for the first time.

"Hello, Gu Heng."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too."

Su Tang felt completely stiff, but since Gu Heng had already said that, she could only grit her teeth and continue in accordance with his words.

In front of Xu Mo, Su Tang shook hands with Gu Heng.

Their hands were clasped together, and she could clearly feel Gu Heng's fingertips teasingly scratching her palm, instantly maximizing the sense of forbiddenness.

"Momo said my cousin is really good at mixing drinks."

"I've been busy until now and haven't had time to eat yet."

"Since we've run into each other tonight, let's go together."

Gu Heng's lips curled up slightly, but he appeared extremely serious on the surface.

"it is good……"

Still flustered and at a loss, Su Tang wanted to refuse, but when she saw Gu Heng's somewhat meaningful look, she had to swallow her words back.

"Great!"

"Then please make yourself at home, brother. I'll go to the kitchen to make you a dipping sauce dish, and then get you a bowl, chopsticks, and a wine glass. I'll be right back!"

After excitedly finishing her words, Xu Mo quickly walked towards the kitchen, leaving Su Tang and Gu Heng in the living room, speechless in the strange atmosphere...
