Rosie is filled with regret! But there's no such thing as a pill for regret in this world!
A faint mist seemed to burn in Kingsley's eyes: "Vivianne, how about I take you for a stroll around Jinpur? Having lived here for nineteen years, I'm pretty familiar with the place."
Vivianne could hardly believe what is happening. The Yip Group is merely one of the subordinate families under the Chor Family in Pekin, and not even the most powerful one. Is the First Young Master actually confessing his feelings to her?
Sean Yip is overjoyed. If his daughter could become Young Master Chor's official partner, the Yip family's status in Chine would soar! This isn't about making a deal or selling his daughter for glory——when young people like each other, it's fate, it's destiny. The future can't be forced, but for now, their harmonious connection is already a wonderful outcome.
Seeing Vivianne still in a daze, Kingsley simply grabbed her hand: "What are you staring at? Let's go! I was thinking of buying a car anyway. I've had my driver's license for months but still no car to drive."
Sean Yip hurriedly chimed in:"Young Master, I've already reported your identity to the Chor Family. I'm sure your father has been informed and will come to see you soon. I know you might be short on cash right now, so take this card with a bit of money for now. If it's not enough, let Vivianne cover the rest."
Kingsley smiled: "Well, I won't stand on ceremony then."
Though he had inherited 9 trillion and held the title of First Young Master, he still lacked cash on hand. The system wasn't exactly handing him 9 trillion in liquid funds, which was a bit of a scam.
Sean Yip, seeing Kingsley accept the card, is ecstatic. His status as a wealthy tycoon in Shangai meant little in the face of the colossal Chor family. By building ties with their Young Master early, the Yip family's future is bound to soar!
To be honest, Kingsley had always wondered about his origins but never found any clues. After all, if there had been even the slightest trace, he wouldn't have gone over a decade without answers.The Riverson Orphanage in Jinpur is the place he felt most at home. There, he had gained friendship and familial warmth, though there were also unpleasant people and events.
But Kingsley had grown up. He was no longer the naive boy he once was. All those experiences were now just fleeting clouds!
Suddenly, the system prompt sounded:
[Random Check-in Task Triggered: Visit the Riverson Fiat 4S Dealership and purchase a Fiat Palio.]
[Reward: A Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost worth 1.5 billion!]
Kingsley is baffled. Why does he have to buy a Palio? Isn't that a super low-end car?
Leaving the campus, Kingsley glanced at Vivianne beside him: "Should we grab lunch first or go buy me a car?"
Vivianne giggled:"First, buy me a dress~ This outfit feels too stiff and uncomfortable…"
Kingsley chuckled:"Alright."
Uni Mall is one of Jinling's largest shopping plazas. Under the gaze of countless onlookers, Vivianne linked arms with Kingsley, stepping onto the skybridge and heading toward the second floor. The first floor of Uni Mall mostly housed ordinary brands, while the second floor is reserved for high-end luxury labels.
With Vivianne's stunning beauty and Kingsley's striking handsomeness, they drew stares from passers-by.
"Wow, that couple is so perfect together!"
"What kind of god-tier looks are those? I need to snap a photo for my socials to make my friends jealous!"
Kingsley smiled: "You must get annoyed, always standing out wherever you go, huh?"
Vivianne laughed softly: "We're in the same boat."
Kingsley burst out laughing: "Is this what they call mutual flattery?"
Vivianne's expression turned shy: "Are we… dating?"
Kingsley raised an eyebrow: "Not quite. I just got out of a relationship and need some time to adjust. Let's just be friends for now."
Vivianne felt a pang of disappointment but nodded: "That's okay. I'll wait for you until you're ready to accept me!"
Soon, they entered a beautifully decorated store, where a female sales in her twenties with a decent figure approached:"Welcome! What brands are you looking for today?"
"Just browsing." Vivianne replied. As the cherished daughter of a prominent family, Vivianne had little obsession with designer brands. She'd seen too many to care. She chose clothes based on her own taste, picking what she genuinely liked.
The sales stunned by Vivianne's beauty and muttered: "She's gorgeous, never seen such a refined girl. But the guy next to her is dressed so plainly, probably wearing cheap street stall clothes worth less than 20 dollars."
Judging by appearances is a common flaw of ordinary people.
The high-end boutique is spacious, at least 300 square meters, so Kingsley didn't follow Vivianne closely. He just called out to her: "I'll check out that side. You pick first."
To the sales, it looked like Kingsley was avoiding the bill, so he was making an excuse to slip away. She shook her head: "No money, huh? What's the point of being handsome then?"
To be fair, this is Kingsley's first time in such a high-class, luxurious place. As a poor student before, he never had spare cash to spend, and even if he did, he couldn't afford such expensive designer clothes. Like a curious kid, Kingsley looked around, clearly out of his element. No one would believe that this kind of guy who seems to have nothing except his good looks, is a mega-tycoon with a net worth of 9 trillion!
As Kingsley walked, suddenly a plump and gaudily dressed woman in her forties stumbled backward into him.
Kingsley instinctively steadied her:"Sorry, I didn't mean to!"
To his surprise, the woman shouted: "Pervert! How dare you do something so disgusting to me!"
Kingsley was dumbfounded: "You bumped into me! How could I not react? I had to catch you, or you'd have knocked me over!"
The woman wouldn't let it go, yelling: "You owe me compensation for emotional distress, or this isn't over!"
Kingsley frowned: "I'm not someone you can push around. Stop making a scene."
The woman glared at him, her eyes gleaming with malice: "No money? Fine, then come to a hotel with me as an apology!"
Kingsley felt a chill of disgust: "At your age, have you no shame?"
The woman sneered proudly: "Young man, you're naive. Follow me, and you'll reap plenty of benefits. I'm the sole Louis Vuitton agent in Jinpur. This store alone brings in tens of millions in revenue from luxury brands each year."
Kingsley quipped: "Auntie, if I'm not mistaken, you're a widow, aren't you?"
The woman fumed: "Who're you calling auntie? Can't you see I'm still a youthful mademoiselle?"
Her loud outburst drew the attention of customers and staff alike. The sales asked: "Boss, what's going on?"
The woman exaggerated the story, and the crowd began to criticize Kingsley. "He looks so decent but turns out to be a creep!"
"How could he take advantage of this lady?"
Kingsley was exasperated: "Take advantage of her? With her looks?"
The sales sneered: "He's just a pretty boy mooching off a rich woman. The moment it's time to pay, he tries to slip away!!"
The crowd grew angrier.
"A gigolo? Shameless!"
"What a waste of a handsome face, becoming a kept man at such a young age!"
Vivianne, hearing the commotion, rushed over: "Stop slandering him!"
At this moment, the system's voice rang out again:
[Emergency Task Triggered: Acquire Uni Group.]
[Reward: Ninth Heaven Body Forging Cultivation.]
Kingsley is utterly confused. What the heck is Ninth Heaven Body Forging? Acquiring a massive group like Uni would cost billions, only to get this as a reward?
Communicating with the system mentally, Kingsley asked: "I don't have cash. How am I supposed to buy Uni Group? And this reward seems useless. Can I skip it?"
[Host, the system's rewards are unique. If you don't build a habit of completing tasks, your grave will be overgrown with weeds! Additionally, your 9 trillion inheritance isn't just the Chor Family's assets. It includes nine trillion in cash! These funds are in the system account. Just communicate with me to access them!]
Kingsley had to say yes: "Fine, buy Uni Group!"
[OK~ Executing the purchase of Uni Group… Purchase complete!]
The woman smirked smugly: "Well, boy, made up your mind? How are you going to compensate me?"
Kingsley sneered: "Compensate?"
The woman boasted confidently: "In Jinpur, I have some influence. If you don't satisfy me, I'll make sure you can't stay in this city! You look like a college student, right? One word from me, and you'll be expelled!"
Kingsley replied coolly: "Such big talk."
Just then, a bald man in a black suit, followed by a team of security guards, rushed over aggressively.
The woman, delighted to see him, exclaimed: "Cousin, this boy groped me and refuses to compensate me. You have to back me up!"
"Hiss… That's Tobia, the general manager of Uni Group!"
"This kid's done for. Tobia's known for being ruthless. No thug dares cause trouble at Uni Mall because of him!"
But then…Slap!
Tobia slapped the woman across the face: "Shut up!"
He and the security guards bowed respectfully to Kingsley: "Greetings, new Chairman!"
