Chapter 273: Chapter 153: Taking Parents for a Physical Exam, a ’Ding’ in the Hospital

Chen Mo smiled and told his parents he’d bought a house.

He hadn’t mentioned it before, but now that they were in Modu, he couldn’t possibly let his parents stay in a hotel instead of his villa.

That would be a spectacular display of filial piety.

"You bought a house?"

At his words, his mom and dad both whipped their heads around to look at him, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

Modu’s real estate prices were in a completely different league than Jiangcheng’s.

They knew Chen Mo had a decent amount of money, but hearing he’d quietly bought a house in Modu was still hard for them to believe.

"Yeah, I bought it a little while ago. It’s a villa."

’I’ll have to explain more later anyway,’ Chen Mo thought, ’so I might as well tell them it’s a villa right now.’

"A villa?"

His mom and dad’s eyes widened. They felt like they’d been wearing expressions of shock all day long.

Chen Mo had given them one too many surprises—or maybe shocks was the better word.

Chen Mo could actually afford a villa in Modu?

"Yeah, I made a lot of money trading stocks, so I bought it."

Chen Mo offered a simple explanation.

He had indeed made a lot of money trading stocks recently.

The money he’d made was enough to buy the villa outright at its current market price.

"Your boss... I mean, your girlfriend, she’s the one who got you into stock trading?"

His mom instinctively assumed it was his girlfriend who’d gotten him into the stock market.

After all, Chen Mo had briefly mentioned that his boss had gotten him into trading.

Now that her son had turned his boss into his girlfriend, it seemed perfectly logical that she would be the one to guide his trading.

"Something like that."

Chen Mo didn’t bother to correct her.

’He led his girlfriend into stock trading, and his girlfriend led him into... bed.’

’Not much of a difference, really.’

"Son, you really hit the jackpot. You found such a wonderful girlfriend."

His mom couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. Her son’s girlfriend was not only beautiful, but she also helped him make money.

’It must be all the luck I lose playing mahjong,’ she mused. ’It’s all gone to Chen Mo.’

Chen Mo smiled and didn’t say anything.

’As for who was the *really* lucky one,’ he thought, ’that’s still up for debate.’

When they returned to the entrance of the villa community, a security guard started to approach them—after all, their car’s license plate wasn’t registered.

However, the moment he saw Chen Mo roll down the window, the guard immediately raised the boom gate.

They parked in front of the villa, and Chen Mo got out with his parents.

Seeing the massive three-story villa before them, spanning over four hundred square meters, his parents looked on in a daze.

’This is the villa our son bought?’

They couldn’t help but marvel. If their son hadn’t worked so hard and become so successful, they would never have had the chance to live in a grand villa in Modu.

After entering the villa, Chen Mo gave them a tour.

It was his parents’ first time in a villa this large, and their eyes were constantly filled with wonder and curiosity.

"You must be tired from the car ride. Rest for a while, and we’ll go for a walk on the Bund tonight."

Chen Mo took them to a bedroom on the second floor to rest.

A trip to Modu wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Bund.

"Old Zhang took a ton of pictures on the Bund when he came to Modu. The night skyline there is supposed to be incredible."

His dad was very interested in the Bund.

Chen Mo smiled at that. He figured most visitors to Modu made a trip to the Bund.

After resting for a while, Chen Mo took them out in the afternoon.

They ate dinner out, and the sky began to darken.

The Bund’s dazzling neon skyline was especially brilliant, with the landmark Oriental Pearl Tower drawing in countless tourists.

Chen Mo took lots of pictures for them, both individual portraits and shots of them together.

All with the dazzling Oriental Pearl Tower in the background.

He even asked a passing tourist to take a photo of the whole family.

The three of them looked just like any other family, a son showing his parents around Modu on vacation.

After walking around the Bund for a while, Chen Mo drove them back to the villa.

They had to go for their medical check-up tomorrow, so they needed to rest early.

「The next morning.」

As required for the examination, they skipped breakfast and headed straight to the top-tier private hospital.

Yuan Sheng Medical Center.

The moment he presented the deluxe medical examination package from Liu Jianjun, a private nurse was assigned to them.

She guided them through the entire process, taking them to a designated physician who wrote up the orders for all their tests.

Once the orders were written, nurses escorted his parents to their various tests separately.

The full battery of tests couldn’t be completed in a single day. The colonoscopy, for instance, required a full day of prep beforehand.

But this was a top-tier private hospital with very few patients, so the care from doctors and nurses was essentially one-on-one.

As a result, there was practically no waiting for any of the examinations.

By the next day, Chen Mo’s parents had finally completed their comprehensive physical examinations.

Chen Mo told them to sit and rest while he went to pick up the results.

SHHH-SHHH-SHHH...

The report printer churned out page after page of test results.

DING!

Just as the printer spat out one of his father’s test results, a familiar notification sound suddenly rang in Chen Mo’s mind.

The "ding" had sounded!

’Am I about to have bad luck again?’

’But what’s causing it this time?’

He picked up the report that the machine had just printed and took a look.

One glance was all it took for his expression to turn grim.
