Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2539: Chapter 1859: An Unexpected Game

Miss Lisa suggested a plan to Milo; the idea was for him to play the hero rescuing the damsel in distress, a cliche trick, to capture Lin Weiwei’s heart.

”Will this, will this work?” Milo was a bit surprised upon hearing this, and couldn’t help but look at Lisa and ask.

”Heroic rescue,” he had used it before, but that was many years ago and used to deceive naive young girls. Nowadays, at this age, women are pursued with money and romance. Would that tactic still work against an experienced professional beauty?

Lisa seemed to notice Milo’s concern and smiled gently before saying, ”Mr. Milo, don’t worry. No matter the age, every woman has the heart of a little girl; it’s just not shown on the surface. It’s not about whether the method is new or old, as long as it works. What’s key in this heroic rescue, would you say?”

The key?

Milo pondered for a moment and tentatively replied, ”The hero’s fearless performance in a crisis?”

”Wrong!”

Lisa firmly rejected the notion.

Milo was taken aback, ”Isn’t that the point of a heroic rescue, for the other person to see your bravery and courage?”

Lisa burst into laughter, leaving Milo utterly confused.

”Even a master of romance like Mr. Milo sometimes misses the point.” Lisa teased.

Milo immediately objected, ”Then tell me, what is the key aspect of the heroic rescue?”

Lisa smiled but didn’t rush to answer. Instead, she swirled the wine in her glass, observing the amber liquid, allowing Milo to become more anxious before leisurely stating, ”Mr. Milo, do you read novels?”

Novels?

Milo looked at Lisa, bewildered, unsure of what she meant by her digression.

”I went to Huaxia to study and learned Chinese there. At first, I wasn’t doing well until I became fascinated with Huaxia’s novels,” Lisa explained.

”In these novels, there’s an interesting phenomenon: if a beautiful woman is saved by an older, unattractive, or impoverished savior, she might say, ’I have nothing to repay you with, in my next life I wish to be a cow or horse to repay my savior.’”

Milo blinked; his Huaxia language was decent, and he understood this part.

”While for those young, handsome, and generous saviors, they might say, ’I have nothing to repay you with, I’d like to give you my life.’”

Lisa laughed, ”So, have you understood, Mr. Milo?”

Milo blinked again, gradually understanding.

”The key to heroic rescue isn’t how brave and fearless you are at the moment, but rather your own qualities!”

”Mr. Milo, you’re young, handsome, charming, romantic, with a fine lineage, rich in wealth, and if you can also show courage, do you think a Huaxia beauty could resist being moved? This tactic is practically tailor-made for you with no hint of being cliché or corny!”

Lisa’s words made Milo’s eyes shine with excitement, and he couldn’t help but slap the table, ”That makes sense!”

Lisa gave a half-amused half-serious smile, looking at the newly enlightened Milo.

Having been excited, Milo saw Lisa’s expression and felt slightly embarrassed.

”Ahem,” Milo cleared his throat, saying solemnly, ”But I believe when making female friends, it’s important to be sincere, not relying on such tactics. I’ve always been sincere with you, Miss Lisa, without any pretense. This time, I merely wish to learn Huaxia with that Huaxia girl... yes, I want to sincerely communicate and learn Huaxia. How could I use ’heroic rescue’ and such deliberate means? That would spoil the interaction, wouldn’t it?”

Milo seemed to recall that the woman before him was also someone he wished to pursue...

Upon hearing Milo’s words, Lisa smiled, ”So, Mr. Milo only wants to learn Huaxia language. I misunderstood your intentions; let’s pretend I never mentioned those before.”

”In my heart, you couldn’t be wrong, Lisa.” Milo said genuinely to Lisa.

Genuine Milo proved to be quite attractive.

In the meantime, the car was slowing down.

Milo’s beautiful maid approached respectfully, ”Mr. Milo, we’ve arrived at the intersection of Kro Street.”

As she spoke, the maid also politely glanced at Lisa.

This is where Lisa had previously told them she wanted to get off.

”Ah, so Mr. Milo, thank you for the drink, I must be going; see you another day.” Lisa put down her wine glass, picked up her handbag, and showed Milo a charming smile.

”Oh dear, Miss Lisa, you’ve only been here a while; how come you’re leaving so soon?”

Milo regretted immediately, tried to persuade her to stay for a few more words, but ultimately sent Lisa off the car.

At the car door, they waved goodbye.

The car Lisa rode was right by the roadside; she got in directly and drove away.

When Lisa was sure Mr. Milo couldn’t see her, her smile disappeared as she sat in her car, took out her compact, touched up her makeup, and murmured to herself in the mirror, ”Hmph, not following my suggestion? I wouldn’t believe that for a second!”

After seeing Lisa off, Milo returned to his seat.

The beautiful maid immediately refilled his wineglass.

Milo took a sip, smiled and contemplated, murmuring, ”Hero rescuing the damsel, sounds quite appealing!”

...

Before dinner, Bai Xiaosheng held a meeting with the business group, notifying them about the itinerary for the next day, which he had arranged after discussions with Milo.

The group naturally had no objections to such arrangements.

Those who intended to cooperate had already looked into the information and would focus on assessments; once agreed upon, decisions could be readily made, nothing much to discuss.
