Chapter 31. Wherever You Go, You Have to Hold That Little One’s Hand
[Author’s Note: Got too exhausted yesterday, just woke up. This book has a complete outline and plan—it will definitely be finished with no ghostwriting. You can trust —click my pen na to see my track record. Everything gets completed, including last year’s hit The Investnt God of Tianyi, which wrapped up properly at 4,000 daily subscriptions despite my laziness. I might only start one or two projects a year, but I always finish them. My style doesn’t fit Faloo at all, yet sohow I survive—what a miracle. Anyway, back to writing! Flowers and reviews, please!
P.S. Does anyone rember my tearjerker Investnt God: After My Cancer Diagnosis, I Secretly Made a Will? It was a dark horse that once defied all odds.].
The dorm brothers shared a genuine bond.
They all cared deeply about Li Mo’s affairs.
“I know. Right now, I’m on my way to pick up my girlfriend.”
Li Mo understood…
His relationship with Su Qingyan couldn’t stay hidden forever.
This love…
Would have to co to light eventually.
His dorm brothers were reliable.
They often gathered with their wives and kids.
Letting them know first…
Wouldn’t hurt.
“Good. Just don’t go for soone that pretty again. Beautiful won tend to be flighty.”
“Dating’s fine…”
“But settling down?”
“That’s different…”
“I don’t want you getting hurt again.”
“Tonight, we’re drinking till we drop. I need to convince you to take the civil service exam.”
“What kind of future is there drifting around in business?”
“Even if you make money now, it’s unstable.”
“Once you hit your forties…”
“Companies will toss you aside without a second thought.”
“By then…”
“You won’t even have a place to cry.”
“A governnt job might pay less, but the benefits are solid.”
“You’ll have security in old age.”
Listening to Yin Qiang’s nagging, Li Mo felt a strange warmth.
The words were tedious, but they ca from a place of real concern.
If not for his special phone…
He might’ve actually considered that path.
“We’ll talk when I get there.”
Yin Qiang suddenly rembered sothing.
“Xu Desheng and Wang Yanbin are already at the auction site.”
“Text us when you arrive—we’ll co et you.”
“Their wives are here too, with their kids. So adorable.”
“But compared to Su Qingyan’s little sister back then? Not even close.”
“Rember when she brought that elentary schooler to Shenzhen?”
“Wherever you went, you had to hold that little one’s hand.”
“Guess only-child syndro makes you extra fond of little girls.”
“She must be all grown up now.”
“Sha we’ll never see her again.”
“Who knows what she looks like these days?”
Li Mo coughed awkwardly.
He had no idea how to respond.
“Alright, let call her. We’ll catch up later.”
“Say hi to the wives for .”
He respected his dorm brothers’ spouses.
They weren’t glamorous, but they were kind—the epito of good wives and mothers.
The Phone Call
Li Mo dialed Su Qingyan’s number.
Ma Xiaoyun wanted to discuss his West Lake Summit plans, but…
Li Mo was busy.
He’d have to wait.
Dinner tonight would be a better ti anyway.
At the University
Su Qingyan had just finished class.
Students stread out, debating whether to hit the internet café or go shopping.
Liu Wei’er sat beside her, eyeing the phone with curiosity.
She’d always wondered about Su Qingyan’s mysterious boyfriend.
But…
No matter how much ti passed…
Su Qingyan guarded the secret fiercely.
“Is that your boyfriend?!”
“Mhm… keep it down.”
Su Qingyan answered sweetly.
“Gege~”
“Yanyan, co out front. I’m at the gate in a new car.”
“We’re heading to the land auction.”
“Got it, Gege! On my way!”
Her voice brimd with youthful energy.
“Wow!” Liu Wei’er gasped dramatically.
“Su Qingyan, this man has drained all your sweetness!”
“You sound like lted sugar!”
“Even I’m jealous!”
Su Qingyan slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out.
Liu Wei’er followed.
“Let see him today! I swear I won’t tell anyone!”
Her curiosity was at its peak.
She had to know…
Who this man was.
“No…”
Su Qingyan feared her sister’s best friend might slip up.
They had to keep things under wraps at school.
“I’ll watch from far away! I won’t get close—promise!”
Liu Wei’er clung to her.
She needed to know.
“Fine. But only at the gate. If you step closer, I’m leaving!”
Liu Wei’er nodded eagerly.
At the Gate
A single car waited outside Shenzhen University.
A Rolls-Royce—and not just any model.
“Oh my god, Su Qingyan! Your man drives a Rolls! No wonder you’re hiding him—people would die of envy!”
Liu Wei’er’s eyes burned with jealousy.
“Hmph! Stay right here!”
“I’m going!”
Su Qingyan sprinted toward Li Mo.
Today, she wore a pleated skirt, black stockings, heels, and a crisp white blouse.
Her youthful radiance was undeniable.
“Gege! You bought a Rolls? Did you strike gold in the stock market again?!”
She spotted Li Mo in the back seat and yanked the door open—
Then froze.
Two strangers sat in front.
She instantly composed herself.
These were clearly important guests.
Otherwise, Li Mo wouldn’t have brought them to the auction.
Ma Xiaoyun and Joseph Tsai, however, had just learned sothing crucial:
Li Mo was still making fortunes in stocks.
That public futures trade?
Probably just to cent his reputation.
And they weren’t wrong.
Li Mo knew the rules of investing:
Prestige mattered more than money.
Why else buy a villa, lease the Blue Ocean Tower, or flaunt a Rolls-Royce?
Ma Xiaoyun nodded solemnly.
“When I first saw the Blue Ocean Tower… I thought renting a whole floor was excessive.”
“But it seems Mr. Mo never stops profiting.”
“His insight into the markets is unparalleled.”
“I’d wager he has at least 100 million in liquidity—maybe more.”
“The title ‘Stock God’ is well-earned!”
