When his senior invited him to dinner, Xu Mo naturally wouldn't refuse.

Now that the exams are over, it's time for him to relax.

The three of them walked out of the villa, met up by the roadside, and hailed a taxi.

Considering Xu Mo's bad mood, Su Linlin said domineeringly, "Junior, just name your restaurant!"

Lin Xinyu chuckled and said, "Linlin is already prepared to bleed a lot, Xu Mo, you don't need to save us any money!"

Su Linlin's expression changed slightly. She secretly pinched Lin Xinyu's arm and threatened her with her eyes.

Lin Xinyu immediately changed her tune: "Junior Xu Mo, I have also received your help recently, so I have decided to share the cost of this meal with Linlin."

Xu Mo knew their financial situation, but the fact that they still treated him to a meal under these circumstances meant that they considered him a friend: "How embarrassing!"

Lin Xinyu patted her chest happily and assured him, "With our combined assets, treating you to a Michelin-starred meal wouldn't be a problem at all."

Although Xu Mo didn't intend to let the two of them pay, since Senior Xin Yu had spoken up so generously, he felt embarrassed to refuse: "Then thank you very much, Senior Xin Yu."

Xu Mo turned to the driver: "Driver, to the Michelin restaurant."

The taxi driver gave Xu Mo a disdainful look, then took out his phone as if to confirm something, before turning back to persuade Su Linlin and Lin Xinyu.

"Girls, I don't know which one of you he is your boyfriend."

"But this is the first time you've invited him to dinner, and he's already asking for such an exorbitant amount. In my opinion, this guy is definitely not a good person, or perhaps he's taking you for a fool!"

Su Linlin shook her head: "Junior Brother Xu Mo is not the kind of person you described."

Lin Xinyu nodded in agreement: "We know him. He's a very kind-hearted boy!"

The taxi driver took out his phone and showed a video: "Did you see that?"

"He handed in his paper two hours early during the exam, which means he only had 30 minutes to answer the questions. But despite having only 30 minutes, he arrogantly claimed that he would take first place in the entire city!"

"What future can you have if you make friends with such an unreliable young man? So, for the sake of a better life in the future, take my advice and cut ties with him as soon as possible!"

Su Linlin immediately retorted: "Master, I've seen the video you mentioned, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. On the contrary, some unscrupulous media outlets release other people's videos without their permission just to gain popularity. That's a dead-end thing to do!"

"Furthermore, if anyone else had been subjected to so much cyberbullying from netizens, they would have been furious and taken these media outlets and the people who submitted the videos to court. But Xu Mo did not report these videos. Isn't that a sign of magnanimity?"

Lin Xinyu also stood on the same side, explaining for Xu Mo: "Junior is arrogant and conceited, but is this the kind of character a young person should have?"

"Besides, so what if he gets criticized? Even if he gets criticized, he's become famous. Now, whenever he goes live, people will send him gifts. His income from one live stream could easily reach tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, which is equivalent to your annual salary!"

The driver, his face flushed red with anger, retorted, "As someone who's been through this, I'm only thinking of you all. But why won't you young people listen to advice? Do you have to wait until he's ruined you before you're willing to stop? How will you face your future husbands then?"

Su Linlin and Lin Xinyu's expressions turned extremely unpleasant at any moment.

They only said a few words in support of Xu Mo, but they didn't expect to be lectured by a taxi driver instead.

When Xu Mo saw that the two female seniors had stood up for him and were met with a furious rebuke from the driver, his expression turned extremely cold.

"Master, aren't you going a bit too far with your words?"

"Too much? Where did I go too far? Isn't what I said the truth?" The taxi driver roared with a self-righteous expression. Seeing that Xu Mo had finally spoken, he immediately mocked him mercilessly: "Oh ho, you've finally spoken up. What? Did I hit a nerve? Back in the day, I could take down good-for-nothings like you with one punch each. If it weren't for the crackdown on organized crime, I would have definitely given you a good beating!"

"Why weren't you killed during the crackdown on organized crime back then?" Xu Mo sneered. "Or were you one of those who slipped through the net? But as someone who escaped the net, to be so arrogant, you're truly something else!"

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting!" The driver dared not gamble on whether Xu Mo had recorded any audio or video. If he did, and Xu Mo admitted it, what would he do if Xu Mo called the police?

"Am I right?" Xu Mo sneered repeatedly.

"What's it to you? Why do you care so much? Take the ride if you want, or get out!" The driver immediately stopped the car, turned around and yelled at Xu Mo, "Seriously, don't think I don't know that a little bastard like you, even if you're in the media, you're never ashamed, you'd even be proud of it, right?"

"What's it to you? Why do you care so much?" Xu Mo retorted with the same words, then decisively pushed open the car door, got out, and pointed at the driver, mocking, "Let me tell you, with your looks, you'll only ever be a taxi driver for the rest of your life. You're going to have a hard time from now on!"

"So what if I drive a taxi? I ​​have a car and a house, I'm richer than you!" the taxi driver argued, his face flushed. "But since you've gotten out, you fucking pay up. Let me see if you can afford the fare!"

"You want to see my strength? Fine, I'll show you!" Xu Mo took out his phone and showed his balance.

The taxi driver curiously leaned closer and started counting numbers.

One, ten, hundred, ten million, hundred thousand, million, ten million!

The driver was truly shocked by the eight-figure balance!

He couldn't accept this bloody truth: "How do you have so much money? Where did you steal it from? Or did you do something illegal and get it through shady means?"

Xu Mo glanced coldly at the driver and paid the fare: "You guessed right, this money of mine was obtained through illegal activities and underhanded means!"

Su Linlin and Lin Xinyu got out of the taxi.

Su Linlin said unhappily, "What business is it of yours who we eat with? What business is it of yours who we befriend? What right do you have to tell us what to do?"

Lin Xinyu nodded: "That's right, that's right. I think you're just jealous of Xu Mo, jealous that he has two girls with him, while you have nothing!"
