The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 703: Chapter 279: A Day in the Life of a Senior Sister

Zhou Wang had initially imagined some idol drama-like scenarios.

Like Jiang Mo suddenly developing some kind of telepathy, and then both of them turning back at the same time or something...

But it didn’t happen.

Jiang Mo remained indifferent to everything around her, just keeping her head down as she walked briskly past. There were always stunned passersby who turned back, but the already accustomed Jiang Mo paid them no mind.

Zhou Wang didn’t call out to her; he merely became curious about what her daily life was like when he wasn’t beside her.

”Ying Tao, go find that old He, have him get you a car, and then wander around anywhere nearby. I’ll call you if I need anything.”

”Okay.”

Miao Ying didn’t ask much. She just took the business card, then tried to hand the umbrella to Zhou Wang.

”You take the umbrella; I won’t need it.”

If it were Jiang Qingkui or Xu Wenqian, they would likely insist on leaving the umbrella with Zhou Wang, but Miao Ying wouldn’t. After a brief pause, she just nodded again, opened the umbrella, and left.

Zhou Wang kept a not-too-close nor too-far distance from Jiang Mo while focusing his mind on the system interface.

He opened the [Mysterious Store], and soon, Zhou Wang found an item he had used before — the [Mystic Windbreaker].

The exchange price for this permanent item was 488,888 Reputation Value points, just enough with Zhou Wang’s current points.

Although marked as ”permanent,” according to the system’s description, it could last for only three to five uses before running out of energy, slightly better than a temporary item but not by much.

Previously, Zhou Wang wouldn’t have considered exchanging it. After all, the [Windbreaker] merely minimized your presence to the extent that people would hardly notice you unless you spoke or moved. It wasn’t true invisibility, and he wasn’t a paparazzi, so it seemed useless...

However, at this moment, wanting to observe his senior sister’s real life, Zhou Wang didn’t hesitate much before clicking ”exchange.”

Once the ordinary-style windbreaker was in hand, Zhou Wang wore it and quickened his pace, reaching Jiang Mo’s side.

When they arrived at the entrance of an alley, Jiang Mo stopped and bought a cup of soy milk and a vegetable bun from a breakfast shop nearby, then took out her phone to snap a photo.

Zhou Wang instinctively took out his phone to check, and sure enough, he soon received a WeChat from Jiang Mo —

Besides the photo just taken, there was a simple line of text: ”Hubby, this is my breakfast today.”

After ”reporting,” Jiang Mo didn’t immediately put away her phone. Instead, she stood silently for about half a minute before she put the phone away, picked up the packed breakfast from the table, embraced her books, and continued walking forward.

After a moment of realization, Zhou Wang understood.

So, she did this every time...

After sending a message, she would wait a little while for what was already obvious.

This minute detail struck Zhou Wang’s heart strongly.

Since, except for the times he happened to see it, he rarely replied to Jiang Mo immediately; in fact, it often took him a day, or even longer. Zhou Wang would only respond like reviewing a batch of documents or call her for a video chat when it suddenly occurred to him.

It was only then that Zhou Wang suddenly realized that at many moments unbeknownst to him, Jiang Mo had been silently holding her phone, waiting for his reply.

She wouldn’t be like Su Yajing, who ”pesters relentlessly,” but during those times, she must have felt upset, right...?

And what had he been doing all this time?

Probably sleeping, drinking, gaming, or hanging out with other women... In any case, needless to say, Zhou Wang was definitely having a good time.

Damn, I’m such a bastard!

Having understood this, Zhou Wang cursed himself inwardly with guilt, then quickly followed her.

Jiang Mo probably took this route every day; her head was slightly lowered, yet she didn’t need to check directions as if it was instinctive. She turned corner after corner, walked about a kilometer, crossed an overpass, and finally stopped at a bus stop along the North Second Ring.

So, did the senior sister take the bus to school every day...?

Zhou Wang was surprised. According to Ding Yi, the car had been bought long ago, which only left one explanation... This was Jiang Mo’s own choice.

Jiang Mo wasn’t really one to ”suffer hardships,” as she grew up in a middle-class family. Although not spending extravagantly like Su Yajing, ”living elegantly” was ingrained in her nature. With enough money on hand, there was no need to make herself uncomfortable.

It had to be for some other reason, perhaps she was worried about getting lost while driving... Hmm, knowing her, that was likely the main reason.

Thinking this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

It seemed that this woman only appeared aloof, but deep down, she was incredibly clueless. For such an issue, hiring a driver would solve it, wouldn’t it?

Never mind, I’d better ask her what the deal is later...

Beidou had the most developed bus system nationwide, reportedly with a 100% on-time rate, though Zhou Wang couldn’t understand how such a feat was achieved. But evidently, Jiang Mo timed everything perfectly; after waiting for only two minutes, a red-and-white double-decker bus pulled into the bus station.
