Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 617 - 618, First Snow (Second Update)

Chapter 617: 618, First Snow (Second Update)

When faced with a kind request, Chu Jin never refused. She began by signing autographs, then took a group photo.

"Today is the first day the two of us moved into the dormitory. How about all four of us take a group photo together?" Liu Xuanxuan suggested.

Lin Shijia agreed, "That’s a good idea, let’s take a photo to commemorate this."

Yin Wu was also very supportive, "Sure."

Compared to Qiao Muyan and Liu Meng Haoran, Yin Wu liked these two roommates better; this was the atmosphere a dormitory should have.

Lin Shijia, knowing how to handle the situation, immediately set her phone to the automatic photo mode.

With a "click," the phone captured the most beautiful moment.

After taking the photo, Lin Shijia cautiously asked Chu Jin, "Goddess, may I post our group photo online to show off?"

It was best to ask for Chu Jin’s opinion on such matters.

After all, the National Goddess was really popular.

Posting her photo could be seen as riding on her fame, but Lin Shijia genuinely just wanted to show off...

But she was afraid that Chu Jin might misunderstand.

Chu Jin smiled slightly, "Of course, the photo is yours, you can post it however you like."

"Thank you, Goddess."

Lin Shijia immediately went off happily with her phone to post the photo.

As expected, as soon as the photo was uploaded to Weibo, it attracted countless envious comments, and Lin Shijia’s Weibo followers rocketed from double digits to five digits.

The photo Lin Shijia posted was of the four of them together.

[So jealous of the blogger! To think she lives with the Goddess!]

[Damn! Did the blogger save the galaxy in her last life or something?]

[Can the blogger post updates often? Let us know about the Goddess’s daily life...]

[Same request from above.]

[Actually, the blogger and the other two girls are also pretty, it’s just that they seem lackluster compared to my Goddess.]

[Comrades, is your phone screen okay? Mine has been licked to pieces!]

[Aside from my Goddess, the other three girls are also very beautiful, they must be basking in my Goddess’s fairy aura.]

[The Goddess’s beauty reigns supreme!]

[Goddess, the second girl to your left, blogger, please share her contact information.]

Lin Shijia was very happy to share these comments from netizens with the other two roommates.

Because Chu Jin was focused on typing something on her computer, Lin Shijia didn’t disturb her.

"Little Wu, Little Wu, look, someone said you’re pretty! They’re asking me for your contact!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuanxuan immediately leaned over, "Am I there? Did they say I’m pretty?"

Lin Shijia teasingly said, not hiding her amusement, "As if the netizens are blind! Look at how you’re acting all timid! Pretty? You’d be lucky if you didn’t scare someone to death!"

"You’re the timid one!" Liu Xuanxuan retorted and playfully slapped her, "I’m a little Fairy!"

The three of them looked through the comments together while laughing and chatting.

Chu Jin was chatting with an editor on her computer.

Because "Blooms like Brocade" was selling so well and the physical books were in short supply, the website decided to postpone the book signing for a few more months.

What was originally scheduled for December 12th was now moved to May of the following year.

Moreover, there would be a live broadcast by a television station at that time.

After discussing some details with the editor, Chu Jin carefully filled out an author interview on the backend.

This kind of interview that didn’t show her face suited her perfectly.

Having finished these tasks, Chu Jin opened her phone and leaned lazily against the back of her chair to check Weibo.

Ever since she registered her Weibo account, she had developed the habit of checking Weibo daily.

Her Weibo account now had ninety million followers.

And the number of followers continued to grow.

Each post on Weibo had over 100,000 comments.

The popularity of "The Return of the Past" on Weibo even surpassed that of top celebrities in their prime.

Such is the power of literature.

Moreover, besides fans like star big V’s such as Qingli, the followers of "The Return of the Past" included famous directors, singers, hosts...

Almost every big V from the entertainment circle followed her.

Chu Jin scrolled through the comments.

She found that nearly half of them were pleas for updates and more interaction.

So, she picked up her phone, took a picture of her half-drunk coffee, and posted it.

The Return of the Past V: Afternoon moments, wishing all the fairy ladies and little fairies a happy Laba Festival.[Image.jpg]

Once the Weibo was posted, it immediately drew a crowd of netizens commenting.

[Ahh! My Sister Guiren has finally updated!]

[Sister, happy Laba Festival.]

[Jin Jin, I’m drinking the same type of coffee as you. (Click to display photo)]

[Past Past, shouldn’t you be eating Laba congee on Laba Festival? What’s with the coffee?]

[Sister from the Past, I love you.]

[Hahaha, my pen is the same as Sister from the Past’s too. (Click to display photo)]

[Sister from the Past is so down-to-earth! I’m liking her more and more.]

[Just to drink the same coffee as Sister, I immediately ordered one online, only to discover that the coffee she’s drinking costs only 10 yuan...]

[I’m not alone upstairs, I ordered one too. (Click to display photo)]

[This coffee is really delicious!]

And thus, the beverage shop’s coffee, which had been neither hot nor cold in business, was set ablaze by a single Weibo post!

The owner of the beverage shop was so busy they questioned their existence, unable to believe what was happening, and even wondered if the delivery platform had glitched.

Meanwhile.

In the Mo Group office building.

Inside the meeting room, a conference was underway, with Mo Zhixuan sitting at the head of the table. His stunningly handsome face was pulled tight as if covered with a thin layer of ice, exuding a chill that made everyone’s heart tremble with fear.

He pursed his lips, sweeping his gaze across the people seated below without a sound.

The frost in his eyes was like a blade, seemingly solid, coldly striking each person’s face.

The atmosphere was terribly oppressive, causing nearly everyone to break out in a cold sweat, dreading that Mo Zhixuan might inadvertently notice them.

Suddenly, the cellphone on the table vibrated.

And a message popped up.

It was a notification from Weibo, a reminder that comes only when someone particularly followed makes a post.

Mo Zhixuan’s Weibo was very simple.

He followed just one person.

Upon seeing the message, Mo Zhixuan’s frosty expression softened slightly. He picked up his phone, glanced at the Weibo post, and said, "Today’s meeting is adjourned. Dismiss."

Finally, the meeting disbanded, and everyone below sighed with relief as if a great burden had been lifted.

Mo Zhixuan, phone in hand, walked out while instructing his assistant, "Order me a coffee."

"Yes, BOSS."

The assistant looked composed but was inwardly shocked.

It was as if the sun had risen from the west!

The aloof CEO who seemed above worldly pleasures actually wanted coffee. Having followed the BOSS for over a decade through thick and thin, the assistant had never seen him drink anything other than tea.

But today, the BOSS was actually asking for coffee!

A miracle! A true miracle!

The assistant hurried to prepare the coffee, then carefully delivered it to the CEO’s office.

However, upon seeing the coffee he prepared, the man seated in the boss chair slightly furrowed his handsome brows.

As he knitted his brows, the assistant’s heart trembled, wondering if he had done something wrong.

The assistant had chosen Panama’s Geisha coffee from Hacienda La Esmeralda, intensely fragrant and rich, considered the finest among coffees, and most importantly, expensive!

A mere small cup cost 2500 RMB.

The assistant believed that only something costly could adequately reflect the BOSS’s character!

But judging by the CEO’s reaction, he obviously disliked it.

Although Mo Zhixuan was a bit icy, like a towering iceberg, he wasn’t one to throw temper tantrums. He glanced away from the coffee and looked at the assistant while holding up his phone, "This cup is for you, get me this kind instead."

The assistant looked down and saw that the BOSS’s phone screen displayed a picture of instant coffee.

This kind of coffee was very common, costing just a few yuan per cup in a regular beverage shop.

It wasn’t on the same level as the Geisha coffee he had prepared.

Was the CEO trying to get a taste of ordinary life?

Despite his questions, the assistant happily took the Geisha coffee away and phoned in the order for the instant coffee designated by the BOSS.

minutes later.

Chu Jin scrolled through her Weibo and saw a post that mentioned her.

New Encounter V: Tastes very good. [Photo.jpg] @The Return of the Past V: Afternoon moments, wishing all the fairies and little fairies a happy Laba Festival. [Photo.jpg]

Thinking it had been about ten days since she last saw Mr. Mo, Chu Jin immediately retweeted his post.

The Return of the Past V: You don’t have to go to the office today? Happy Laba Festival. //@New Encounter V.

New Encounter V: At the office, will pick you up tonight. //@The Return of the Past V.

The Return of the Past V: Sure. [Emoji/Smile] //@New Encounter V.

New Encounter V: Wait for me. //@The Return of the Past V.

The back-and-forth reposting between the couple was extremely swift. What were normal conversations between lovers appeared to the single dogs as real dog food, flaunting their affection in various styles.

Comments erupted like a sudden storm.

Netizen A: "The other party has rejected your dog food and knocked over the dog bowl in front!"

Netizen B: "The cold dog food is slapping wildly on my face..."

Netizen C: "Where are the dog lovers? There’s a single dog here in need of rescue!"

Netizen D: "Drinking coffee from IC, Sister Guiren is so down-to-earth."

Netizen E: "I’ve devoured this bowl of dog food, do as you please."

Netizen F: "I inexplicably find Sister adorably cute."

Netizen G: "When are you planning the wedding? Ready to create a little Gui Gui?"

Netizen H: "The two above, please note that today is Laba Festival, not Valentine’s Day."

Netizen I: "So sweet it’s explosive! Cloyingly sweet until this old man cannot take care of himself!"

"..."

Meanwhile, the powerful netizens also uncovered another shocking piece of news.

The CP of "The Return of the Past" when first met, seemed just like a very ordinary Weibo account, without verified status; the main page also lacked much introduction, and there was only one follower. But in fact, when first met was actually a hidden big shot.

Because some curious netizens checked out the followers of when first met and found that the official Weibo of Mo Group, ranked first on the China mainland’s business leaderboard, was actually following them!

Moreover, in the following list of Mo Group’s official Weibo, there was only when first met.

What did this mean?

When first met was no ordinary person at all.

This was Mo Group, not the Li Clan, nor the Wang Clan!

The number one Mo Group in China mainland.

Not only that, but the official Weibo of TheKing Group, which had been trending worldwide lately, also followed them.

This was somewhat unbelievable!

Two business tycoons were following an ordinary person?

So, for a time, there were various opinions on the internet.

Some guessed when first met might be a relative of the owners of these two corporations.

Others guessed that when first met might be a major client of these two companies.

Yet others speculated that when first met might be some big shot in the political arena.

...

Three in the afternoon.

Mo Zhixuan arrived at the gate of Capital University in his car right on time to pick someone up.

This time, he wasn’t laying low, driving that luxurious Bugatti Veyron, a limited global edition. As the car came to a halt, it attracted much attention.

It was too eye-catching!

As a result, as soon as Chu Jin exited the campus gates, she spotted Mr. Mo’s car among the many luxury vehicles!

The skies in December were already very cold, overcast, and just as Chu Jin stepped out of the school, large snowflakes began to drift down from the sky.

Fluttering about.

This was the first snowfall of the year.

Cheers emerged all around, "Ah, it’s snowing!"

Some couldn’t help but open their arms and dance in the snow, "So beautiful."

"First snow, it’s the first snow! I want to take a photo and post it on my social feed."

"I hope the snow gets heavier so I can build a snowman when I wake up in the morning."

"Don’t use an umbrella, quick, put the umbrella away. Haven’t you heard the saying? We walked, and suddenly our hair turned white. Don’t you understand romance?"

Various excited voices echoed around.

The corners of Chu Jin’s mouth also lifted slightly, as she pulled her coat tighter and walked forward.

Mr. Mo also stepped out of the car, looking affectionately at the person in the snow, taking steps towards him.

In that moment, everything around became a backdrop, and his eyes had room only for her.

Chu Jin was wearing a white cable-knit sweater, black skinny pants, tasseled ankle boots, and over that, a khaki long coat. A casual ensemble, yet it exuded a peerlessly beautiful aura.

Her black hair flowed freely down her back, billowing in the wind, adding to the exquisite beauty of her delicate pale face.

She walked slowly, and each step seemed to press upon his heart.

At that instant, Mo Zhixuan could clearly hear the beating of his own heart.

Ten days hadn’t seen each other, yet it felt as if a lifetime had passed.

"Mo Zhixuan," Chu Jin approached him and spoke softly.

"Don’t move," Mo Zhixuan uttered in a low voice, slowly raising his right hand to gently remove the snowflakes from her hair. As he looked down, their gazes collided, and all at once, there was silence.

All things in heaven and earth became void; in their eyes, there was only each other.

Perhaps influenced by this romantic atmosphere, Mo Zhixuan couldn’t help but reach out his hand to cradle the back of her head, his thin lips met her rosy ones, and he kissed her gently.

Before long, the snow had whitened their hair.

There were many couples around.

Therefore, their figures did not stand out in the crowd.

The heater in the car was on full blast, and Chu Jin took off her coat as soon as she got in.

Gazing out at the scenery, Chu Jin said, "Let’s go to Peace Bridge No.1 Middle School. Chu Xiu has the day off, so I called home and told the driver not to pick her up."

"Okay," replied Mo Zhixuan leisurely, steering the wheel. The car was about to go straight through the intersection but stylishly took a turn instead.

Peace Bridge No.1 Middle School’s gate was crowded with the cars of students’ parents.

At this time, school hadn’t formally let out yet, so the parents had all gathered in front of the gate, craning their necks to look into the school grounds.

The snow was falling heavily, and in no time, a thick layer had accumulated on the ground, crunching underfoot.

Chu Jin opened the car door, and without even taking the time to put on her coat, walked outside and squatted down to play with the snow.

After all, she was a girl, and even having lived two lifetimes, the girlishness in her bones wouldn’t change. She had the innocence of a young girl, the aloof beauty of a mature woman, and a heart-stopping sense of vicissitude...

Mo Zhixuan picked up her coat and followed behind her like an old father, nagging affectionately, "Put on your clothes quickly, you’ll freeze..."

Chu Jin crouched there, ignoring him, focusing on rounding the snowball in her hands, before suddenly tossing it at Mo Zhixuan with the speed of lightning.

Mo Zhixuan had not anticipated her doing such a thing, completely unprepared, he was hit square in the face, and furthermore, the snowball struck him right on the left cheek.

Mr. Mo was left utterly dumbfounded!

"Pfft..."

Chu Jin started laughing joyfully, "The silly son of the landlord..."

She actually dared to hit Mr. Mo’s face!

If it had been someone else, they probably would be nothing more than a corpse by now.

But who let this person be Mr. Mo’s own beloved wife?

Once Mo Zhixuan snapped out of it, he immediately bent down to grab a handful of snow and hurled it towards Chu Jin, who nimbly dodged the incoming attack and scooped up more snow to retaliate.

Smack—

Another snowball swiftly hit Mo Zhixuan on his right cheek.

Now with snow on both cheeks, Mo Zhixuan’s face was symmetrical.

Watching the disheveled Mo Zhixuan, Chu Jin bent over with laughter, "Haha... worthy of being the silly son of the landlord, don’t you know how to dodge...?"

Mo Zhixuan wasn’t angry, instead, he joined in with her laughter, his eyes brimming with warmth that could drown someone. He walked over slowly and draped the coat over her, speaking gently, "Stop laughing foolishly and put it on, don’t catch a cold."

Chu Jin, while laughing, tiptoed carefully to wipe the snow from his face.

So, when Chu Xiu came out from the school gate, he witnessed this tender, affectionate moment.

He walked straight ahead without looking sideways, and when he reached the two of them, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

"Ahem..."

The pair didn’t react.

"Ahem!" Chu Xiu raised his voice.

Still, the two of them showed no reaction.

Chu Xiu shook his head helplessly, was his presence really that unnoticeable? Thus, he had no choice but to shout.

"Sis, Brother-in-law!"

Only then did Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan realize someone was there, they looked at Chu Xiu, "School’s out! Let’s go, we’re going home."

Mo Zhixuan reached out his hand to Chu Xiu, "Give me your backpack." He had noticed that the other parents were carrying their children’s backpacks and only Chu Xiu was carrying his own.

It had to be said that at times, Mr. Mo could be quite attentive.

A warm current ran through Chu Jin’s heart; many details she hadn’t thought of, Mr. Mo had.

"Thanks, Brother-in-law." Chu Xiu took off his backpack and handed it to Mo Zhixuan.

"Silly boy, what are you thanking your brother-in-law for?" Chu Jin habitually reached out to pat Chu Xiu’s head, only to discover that in just two weeks of not seeing him, Chu Xiu had grown taller by quite a bit. In a few more days, she wouldn’t be able to reach his head.

"Yeah, I got it sis." Chu Xiu nodded.

The three of them got into the car together, Chu Jin sat in the passenger seat, and Chu Xiu took the back seat.

On the road, Chu Jin and Chu Xiu discussed school and studies, while Mo Zhixuan occasionally chimed in; the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Since today was the Laba Festival, they didn’t go back to Huagui Park but went straight to Phoenix Manor instead. Zhao Yan also lived there, having all the family gathered together for the festival made it more lively.

Everyone was present.

Except for Tong Zhi, nearly everyone was there.

Tong Zhi, being a good boss, had to dine with her restaurant staff on the Laba Festival, so she couldn’t come.

For the Laba Festival, naturally, they ate Laba porridge, served with exquisite pastries.

The Mo family matriarch sat smiling at the head of the table, watching the younger ones beside her, contemplating in her heart how many years it had been since the Mo family had been this lively?

In the past, during the festivals, it had only been her and Mo Qingyi at home.

Mo Zhixuan was almost never at home.

Now that they had Jin, the home finally felt alive.

At this moment, all she wished for was a chubby granddaughter.

Mo Qingyi, who was restless by nature, pulled Chu Jin out to build a snowman immediately after eating, "Jin bro, Jin bro, let’s go to the garden to build a snowman, all right? It hasn’t snowed this much in many years."

This year’s snow was especially heavy; in just five to six hours, the snow accumulation outdoors had reached more than ten centimeters.

"Sure," Chu Jin agreed with a smile brimming on her face.

"Xiu Xiu, come join us," Mo Qingyi turned and called out to Chu Xiu.

Xiu Xiu?

Chu Xiu was not a fan of this nickname! But there was no helping it, Mo Qingyi was too enthusiastic.

"I won’t join, you go and play with sis, I’ll go back to the room and do my homework." The Mo family had also prepared a separate room for Chu Xiu.
