Chapter 9 The Shock of a Nine-Digit Number

"Exactly, dressed so poorly, how dare he take Brother Ma's seat?"

The female companion standing behind him tossed her hair, looking at the coffee stains on Lü Mo's wrist with barely concealed disdain.

Lu Mo nervously hunched his shoulders, not even glancing in their direction.

"Hey, how did you get in dressed like that?"

Are the rules here so lax now? They let just anyone in!

"Brother Ma," dressed in a white suit, disdainfully lifted Liu Gan's collar, but his hand was slapped away as soon as it touched him.

"Get your dirty hands off us! We're members here too, and it's our right to sit here!"

"Rights? Compared to the Ma family, what rights do they have?"

"My family is worth tens of millions. Who do you think you are, trying to make a scene with me!"

"Only a mere ten million, a small sum!"

Everyone was drawn by Liu Gan's laughter and looked nervously at the man in the white suit standing there.

Upon hearing the name of the Ma family, everyone couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"That's the Ma family, the top family in Jinchuan City, with tens of millions in assets. Who doesn't know them?"

Where did this hothead come from? This is going to be interesting!

"Yes, which of the shopping malls in our city wasn't developed by them?"

In just a few years, they've established themselves at the head of Jinchuan; even our family has to avoid their advance!

The restaurant gradually filled with noise, and the waiters at each table hurriedly reported it. The female manager who had just been there also rushed over.

Seeing that "Brother Ma" looked displeased, he had no choice but to step forward and apologize.

"Mr. Ma, this gentleman has just taken his seat. Could you please give me the honor?"

The table next to us also has a good view; you can see the beach from there.

"That won't do!"

"Brother Ma" slapped the female manager's hand aside.

"I'm happy sitting here; I wouldn't feel comfortable anywhere else!"

As he spoke, "Brother Ma" was about to pull Liu Gan up from his seat, but he was stopped by the security guards next to him.

After this incident, his female companion behind him also stepped in to defend him.

"Do you know who I am?! No one in Jinchuan City has ever dared to treat me like this!"

"Mr. Ma, don't pressure us. This is already Mr. Liu's position."

"Why should we? Our Ma family is large and powerful; we've never suffered such injustice before!"

The subdued "Brother Ma" was spitting everywhere, and his eyes were red with shame.

He had just looked up when he bumped into Liu Gan's raised phone.

"Look at this! A mere few tens of millions in assets dares to compete with me for a position!"

One figure, two figures... nine figures! His cash deposits actually amounted to nine figures!

The arrogant "Brother Ma" gradually lost his arrogance, no longer daring to confront the security guards, and became completely dejected.

"My God, it's a nine-figure cash deposit!"

The female companion standing behind her couldn't help but gasp, and fearing she would be impolite, she covered her mouth with both hands.

"What?! A nine-figure cash deposit?! That's terrifying!"

The surrounding guests were also stunned, sitting in their seats with mouths agape as if they could fit an egg in them.

But Liu Gan was very puzzled, because he had heard before that super-rich people had assets in the hundreds of millions.

My money is probably less than a fraction of what others have.

This "Brother Ma" said he had tens of millions in assets but didn't feel that was anything special. However, when these customers egged him on, he felt quite proud.

"Get out of here, don't delay our meal!"

"Yes! I'll go right away!"

Without security guards holding him back, "Brother Ma" hurriedly led his female companion out of the restaurant, leaving only the sound of the piano behind.

Lu Mo, who was sitting there, seemed to be stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Lu Mo, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I'm fine."

The dishes he had just ordered were being served one after another, but Liu Gan didn't have much of an appetite for them.

I wonder if the conflict just now made him lose his appetite.

Sitting opposite him, Lü Mo added a large shrimp, put it in his mouth, and looked very satisfied.

Seeing this, Liu Gan also took a bite of the braised meat.

The sesame sauce has a simple flavor, just like what you get at a street stall; it doesn't seem much different.

It turns out that what rich people eat is no different from what he usually eats.

As the sun slowly sets, the buildings along the seaside light up with neon lights.

The piano piece was changed to "Nocturne," and Jay Chou's playlist was played all night.

It feels like I've gone back to junior high school.

The aroma of sandalwood, mixed with the scent of herbs, wafted into the room at some point, and it smelled very comforting.

"It's too late, Liu Gan, shall we go?"

Lu Mo had already eaten her fill and had just touched up her makeup with a small mirror from her bag.

She looks even gentler now.

"Alright, it's getting late, you have to go to work tomorrow."

Liu Gan took the coat from the waiter and helped Lü Mo put it on. The two walked side by side toward the shore.

The sea breeze at night was cool, but the air wasn't very salty.

"Strange, why can't I smell seafood at the beach?"

"It's a land breeze blowing at night, isn't it? Stop smelling it, I'm getting cold."

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

Liu Gan covered Lü Mo's chest with his coat and then followed his memory to find his newly bought car.

I looked left and right, but couldn't see it anywhere.

"Why don't you press the unlock button?"

The car keys were with Lü Mo. After taking them, Liu Gan pressed a button, and a light flashed in the distance.

Since waking up from his nap at noon, Liu Gan felt like he had forgotten something, but he still drove to the building where Lü Mo's parents lived.

It's still that old house, just like other houses in the city from the last century.

"How about I pick you up for work tomorrow?"

"No, that's too high-profile. The neighbors will gossip about my parents."

Lu Mo gently closed the car door, but still heard the sound of the car window behind him rolling down.

"It's alright, let them gossip. Why don't you invite me up for a bit?"

"You'd better go back quickly!"

At night in Jinchuan City, the neon lights always appear to be the same color, making Liu Gan's face appear somewhat red.

He could still remember the day he first met Lü Mo.

It must have been at the beginning of my sophomore year, but I can't remember if it was an English class or an advanced mathematics class.

After class, he planned to go back to the dormitory to get his drawing board. All his other roommates had brought theirs, but he had forgotten it in the dormitory.

With only fifteen minutes between classes, he had to run between the teaching buildings.

But as he was running, he bumped into a girl.

Both of them fell to the ground, and even the girl scraped her knees.

To make up for her, Liu Gan had no choice but to skip class.

That afternoon passed quickly. He ran around to the pharmacy, the clinic, and the bubble tea shop for the first time, but he didn't complain at all. In the end, he was able to add the girl as a friend.

Lü Mo, a very special name.

It is said that her father was very talkative when he was young, and her mother did not want her little girl to be so talkative, so she gave her the single character "Mo" (默, meaning silent).

With that in mind, Liu Gan parked his car in a public parking space on the side of the road, not far from his rented apartment.

I picked up my phone and dialed my mother's number. The ringtone was the familiar "Above the Moon."

"What's wrong? Still awake so late at night?"

"No, I just went out to have dinner with my colleagues and just got home."

"Why haven't you been sleeping? You didn't just get home from the ER at this hour, did you?"

"That's right, your mother saves lives and heals the wounded, always carrying the heart of a doctor, so it's okay to be a little tired."

For some reason, Liu Gan suddenly found his mouth tasted salty, and when he reached down to touch it, he found tears streaming down his face.

"Why are you calling so late at night? Are you coming home for dinner tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I'll have your dad buy a pound of shrimp, and I'll cook something nice for you two."

"good!"
