Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: I Believe Him

Late at night, the two cousins talked for a long time.

Don’t be fooled by the experienced way Su Tang had just been lecturing Xu Mo.

In reality, she was also an 18-year-old newbie who’d been single since birth, full of curiosity and fantasies about romance.

"You two were just downstairs, kissing for over two hours?"

Su Tang’s eyes widened slightly. "Weren’t you tired? Are boys really that great to kiss?"

"I don’t know if boys are great to kiss,"

Xu Mo mumbled, her face flushing, "but my Big Brother is. If it hadn’t gotten so late, I would’ve wanted to keep kissing him."

"Ooh..."

"How sappy~"

"You’re even calling him ’Big Brother’ already."

Su Tang couldn’t help but tease her cousin, seeing her lovestruck expression.

Hearing this, Xu Mo couldn’t help but recall the scene in the car when Gu Heng had insisted she call him "Big Brother," which made her feel even shier.

"Oh?"

"Right."

"You just said your boyfriend drove you home."

Su Tang suddenly asked, "What kind of car does he drive?"

"A Mercedes."

Xu Mo answered truthfully.

"Which Mercedes model?"

Su Tang asked again, an eyebrow raised.

Xu Mo shook her head. "I don’t know. I just recognized the Mercedes logo. I don’t know the specific model, but it looked really expensive."

Hearing this, Su Tang’s interest was piqued even more.

She took out her phone, opened a car app, and navigated to the Mercedes-Benz brand page. "See if you can find which car your ’Big Brother’ drives."

"Oh, okay..."

Xu Mo obediently took Su Tang’s phone and started scrolling through the models one by one.

She started from the cheapest, the Mercedes A-Class, and gradually scrolled down.

Su Tang was calm at first, but when she saw Xu Mo scroll past the Mercedes S-Class and keep going, she started to get a little antsy.

"Cousin, I think my Big Brother drives this one."

Xu Mo pointed to the page for the Mercedes-Benz GLS. "But some parts are different. His car has this sort of triangular, hollowed-out logo in a lot of places."

"A triangular, hollowed-out logo?"

Su Tang froze for a second, then it was as if she suddenly thought of something.

She took the phone back, quickly scrolled down the Mercedes page a couple more times, and finally opened the page for the Maybach GLS. "Momo, is this the triangular logo you were talking about?"

"Mhm, that’s the one."

Xu Mo looked closely, then nodded affirmatively.

At her words, Su Tang couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. "Momo, do you have any idea how much your boyfriend’s car costs?"

"That’s a Maybach GLS!"

"Even the base model costs over two million to get on the road!"

"A Mercedes and a Maybach are in completely different leagues!"

Eighteen years old and driving a Maybach GLS?

Even her own father had only managed to get a Range Rover Sport two years ago.

"That car is really that expensive."

Xu Mo also looked a bit dazed.

Two million was an almost unimaginable sum of money for her.

"Momo, don’t mind me for being nosy."

"Isn’t the gap between our family’s situation and his a little... big?"

After snapping out of it, Su Tang looked at the stunned Xu Mo and said cautiously, "A guy that young and rich will never be short of pretty girls around him. If you’re really determined to be with him, you need to be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Xu Mo lowered her head and fell silent for a moment.

"He said he genuinely likes me."

At this, Xu Mo raised her head again, her eyes as clear as ever. "I believe him!"

"Alright."

"If that’s the case, then just focus on your relationship."

Seeing Xu Mo’s firm attitude, Su Tang knew better than to say anything more.

"Oh..."

"By the way, Cousin."

Xu Mo suddenly remembered something and asked Su Tang, "Do you know where in Beichun I can sell a new phone for a good price?"

"Why?"

Su Tang asked, a little confused.

At the question, Xu Mo got up, walked over to her canvas bag, and took out a brand-new iPhone 15.

"The newest iPhone 15?"

"And it’s the most popular 256GB model, too. Where did you get it?"

Su Tang looked at the iPhone 15 in Xu Mo’s hand, her face filled with surprise. "Don’t tell me it’s a gift from your boyfriend?"

Xu Mo shook her head. "I won it in a drawing."

With that, Xu Mo briefly recounted how she and Gu Heng had stumbled upon the Zhen Cui Group’s anniversary prize drawing.

"Oh my god!"

"You have the best luck!"

Su Tang exclaimed sincerely, and then her expression suddenly shifted. "Momo, did you just say you want to sell this phone?"

"Mhm."

Xu Mo nodded seriously.

"Momo, can I ask you for a favor?"

Su Tang tapped the new iPhone 15 in Xu Mo’s hand. "How about you sell this phone directly to me? I’ll give you 6,999 for it, the official retail price."

"The thing is, I don’t have that much cash on hand right now. After I sell my current iPhone 13 on a resale app, I can probably give you four thousand yuan upfront. As for the remaining three thousand, can I pay you back over the next two months?"

Staring at the new iPhone 15, Su Tang’s eyes lit up with a competitive fire.

For the past half-month since school started, she’d been locked in a rivalry with her roommate, Feng Yao (as mentioned in Chapter 17).

On the surface, the two seemed to get along well, but in reality, they were always secretly competing.

Both were girls who had just become adults, both had been beautiful since they were little, and both had always been the "perfect child" everyone’s parents compared their own kids to. Naturally, they were proud and arrogant, and neither was willing to back down.

From clothes and food to housing and transportation, Su Tang and Feng Yao were engaged in an all-out competition of one-upmanship.

’If I can walk back into the dorm with the newest iPhone 15 just two days after its release, the look on Feng Yao’s face will be priceless.’

The thought of that scene filled Su Tang with an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

"Cousin, if you want it, just take it."

Without any hesitation, Xu Mo shoved the phone into Su Tang’s hands. "Also, isn’t 6,999 a bit too much? Just 6,500 is fine."

"Momo, the iPhone 15 just came out. If you want to get one from a physical store right now, you have to pay a premium. So at 6,999, I’m already getting a bargain."

Su Tang shook her head. "It’s settled. I’ll take the phone and start using it, and I’ll transfer the money to you as soon as I can."

"Okay, then."

Seeing Su Tang’s insistence, Xu Mo didn’t argue further.

"Momo, you’re the best!"

"As a reward, I’ve decided to sleep with you tonight!"

Su Tang looked at the sweet and adorable Xu Mo and pulled her directly into a hug.

"S-sleep is fine."

Xu Mo puffed out her cheeks slightly and warned in a small voice, "But no wandering hands."

"Tsk..."

"It’s true what they say. Once you get a boyfriend, you forget all about your cousin."

Su Tang’s shapely eyebrows arched as she teased with a grin, "Only your ’Big Brother’ gets to touch, but your cousin can’t, is that it?"

Xu Mo blinked but didn’t say a word. She just silently turned, opened the closet, and got another blanket for Su Tang.

Seeing this, Su Tang glanced subconsciously toward her own bedroom, a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

If she had a choice, she would definitely rather sleep alone.

Unfortunately...

Her Jujutsu had just reached a breakthrough, and the damage to her surroundings was a bit extensive.

Right now, her room was a crater.

You could bring in Chu Yunfei’s heavy artillery battalion, and they wouldn’t even be able to find their impact craters!

’Sigh...’

’I guess I’ll have to wait until Momo goes to work tomorrow to go back and clean up the battlefield.’

Su Tang sighed silently to herself and then helped Xu Mo make the bed.

After the lights were turned off, the two "exhausted" cousins quickly fell asleep...
