《The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao)》 Chapter1 My Father was Millionaire My Father was Millionaire It¡¯s nine o''clock in the evening, in the boy''s dormitory of a well-known university. "Chen Hao, go to room 101 on the first floor and bring me myptop!" A guy with blond hair from the next dormitory over kicked Chen Hao''s room door open. After throwing Chen Hao a dor, he put his hands into his pockets and went back to his dormitory. "Also, Chen, don¡¯t forget to buy me a bottle of mineral water from the supermarket downstairs!" The blonde-hair guy threw another three bucks on the ground. Two were for the water, and the other was Chen Hao¡¯s tip. "Hey Blondie, why do the people from your dormitory always ask Chen Hao to run errands for you? Why are you always bullying him?" The people in Chen Hao''s dormitory asked with a straight face as they could not stand it anymore. "Chen Hao is from your dormitory. Don''t you know? He¡¯s willing to do anything for money! "Blondie said with a sarcastic tone and a mocking expression on his face. Chen Hao tried to turn a deaf ear to the snarkyments, but he was embarrassed by what Blondie had said. He bent down and picked up the money from the ground. He thought, ¡°With this money, I should have enough to get some Raman noodles, and make it through today.¡± "Chen Hao... Don''t go. If you don¡¯t have any money, we can lend you money. You don''t have to pay it back," the head of the dormitory said sympathetically. Chen Hao smiled humbly and shook his head, "Thank you..." He turned around and went out. The people in the dorm gazed at Chen Hao''s figure from behind and shook their heads with pity. Honestly, Chen Hao didn''t want to run errands for people, but he also wanted to live happily at university like the other students. He was lucky to be here after all. He was extremely poor. His roommates were very nice to him. But the more they helped, the less he wanted their help. Because he knew that if he constantly borrowed money from them, no matter how strong their friendship was, they would eventually start to grow apart. Besides his roommates, Chen Hao had almost nothing in the university! "Chen Hao, I heard Blondie said that you¡¯re going downstairs." An elegantly dressed student came out of the room next door. His name was Xu Nan, the leader of Blondie''s dormitory. His family ran a factory. He was rich, tall and handsome, and was hugely popr among the females. However, he had always looked down on Chen Hao. Even on a good day, he would not look Chen Hao in the eye. Chen Hao had no idea what he wanted. Chen Hao looked up and said, "Yes!" Xu Nan smiled nonchntly. He took out a box of Durex condoms from his pocket and threw it at Chen Hao. "Perfect timing. A friend of mine is in the East grove today. Go and deliver this to him. I will give you ten bucks!" Xu Nan was a yboy and dated a lot of girls. He also had many friends just like him. Chen Hao didn''t think much about it. He just wanted to make money. Chen Hao took the condoms and headed for the stairs. As he turned his back, he heard Xu Nan''s Chen Hao went downstairs. He nned to take Blondie¡¯sputer and buy the bottle of mineral water on his way back from delivering the condoms. Chen Hao knew that the East Grove outside the campus was a famous hook-up ce where couples would go to have sex. Chen Hao quickly arrived at the East Grove. He saw a couple sitting on the promenade in the woods. They were talking andughing. Under the moonlight, Chen Hao saw their faces distinctly. His whole body trembled! It was her! Chen Hao''s eyes turned red at once, and the Durex he held in his hand fell onto the ground. The woman, Yang Xia, was Chen Hao''s ex-girlfriend. It had only been three days since they broke up. Of course, it was Yang Xia who dumped Chen Hao. When they broke up, Yang Xia said that she needed some alone time. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t believe that she was already hooking-up with another guy! Chen Hao¡¯s sudden appearance drew their attention. Everyone wore a different expression on their face. "Chen Hao... Why are you here? You... don''t get me wrong. Lu Chen and I are..." Yang Xia was a little flustered. At least she still had a sense of shame. She lowered her head. Lu Chen, who was sitting next to Yang Xia, let go of her. He looked at the Durex which fell to the ground, stood up and burst intoughter. "Wow, Xu Nan is truly something else. I asked him to give me some rubbers. I guess he sent you to give them to me. What a jackass. This is too funny." Lu Chen came from a rich family as well. Chen Hao knew that he was Xu Nan''s friend. His family operated several restaurants. He always drove thetest model of BMW to school. Chen Hao clenched his fist tightly as Lu Chen spoke. It turned out that Xu Nan have done this on purpose! He should have seen thising. He should have known as soon as he broke up with Yang Xia, that Xu Nan would do something to mess with him. "Xia, I know you didn''t want to date a poor guy, but you don''t have to be with this kind of person. Don''t you know how many girlfriends he has had? He is probably seeing someone else now!" Chen Hao shouted angrily. He loved this girl with all his heart. Yang Xia became angry when she heard Chen Hao''s insult. "Chen Hao, who do you think you are? You have no right to teach me a lesson. I broke up with you. Whom I want to be with is my right. It''s none of your business." "Chen can buy me expensive cosmetics and skincare products. He can also buy me an iPhone and name-brand bags. Can you?" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Additionally¡­" Yang Xia was furious. She looked at the condom that Chen Hao dropped on the ground. "You came here just to mess with me, didn¡¯t you? Get lost!" Yang Xia lunged forward and pped Chen Hao on the face! Lu Chenughed even louder. "Xia, don''t let him go. Let him stay here. He can watch and learn a thing or two." Yang Xia blushed. "Chen, I am in no mood after seeing this guy again. I will make it up to you next time." She broke free from Lu Chen¡¯s arms. Chen Hao did not know how he left the grove. His mind was aplete nk. Is life all about money This all happened because he had no money! As Chen Hao arrived at the door of the dormitory, he came to his senses after hearing his ssmates¡¯ Xu Nanughed with his hands on his stomach. His face had turned red because heughed too hard. Apparently, Xu Nan had told everyone about what happened. "Chen Hao, what did you see just now?" Blondie asked whileughing. "Yang Xia is fine as hell. Maybe when Chen Hao arrived, Lu Chen had already taken care of business." Xu Nan smiled maliciously. Chen Hao clenched his fists and his eyes turned red. He wanted to kill Xu Nan right there and then. "Why? Why do you have to treat me like this?" Chen Hao bawled. Xu Nanughed even louder. "Look, the broke bastard is so angry. I''m so scared!" "Ok, I tell you the reason. You are poor. In the whole ss, I despise you the most. Let¡¯s be real you never deserved a greatdy like Yang Xia. It makes more sense for my friend to have her for a few days." "By the way, here is a little salt in the wound. Didn¡¯t you spend one year pursuing Yang Xia? She was already into Lu Chen within half an hour of chatting with him on WeChat." Everyone wasughing. Nobody cared about Chen Hao! He felt so small. ¡°I¡¯m gonna kill you!¡± Chen Hao pounced on Xu Nan and tried to punch him in the face. Before Chen Hao was even close, Xu Nan¡¯s friends were all over him. Chen Hao was pulled back into his dorm by his roommates. Lying on the bed, Chen Hao covered himself with his nket and sobbed sadly. "Why do they all bully me and trample on my dignity?" "Is it just because I am poor. They don¡¯t even consider me a human being?" Chen Hao felt a great rage within and pulled his hairs fiercely. He still remembered the days with Yang Xia. After crying for a very long time, he fell asleep. Perhaps he could only find peace during such a dark and silent night. When he woke up early the next morning, there was no one in the dormitory. Chen Hao knew that it was the head of the dorm who didn''t want to wake him up. I guess it is better for him to stay in the dormitory than to go back to the ssroom! When Chen Hao picked up his mobile phone, he found many text messages and missed calls. What surprised Chen Hao was these calls were all from a foreign phone number. There was also a text message from the bank! "[China Bank] 2019... Your current ount bnce is 10,000,005.00..." Looking at this number, Chen Hao was stunned. 10 million! Who transferred 10 million to him? Chen Hao immediately called the bank to confirm. After the confirmation, he waspletely stunned. At that moment, the phone rang again. It was a foreign phone number. Chen Hao answered at once. "Hao, did you receive the money? It¡¯s me, your sister!" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. "Sister! What is going on? Aren''t you working overseas with mom and dad? When did you get so much money? Chen Hao felt his heart almost jump into his mouth. "Although I still have to keep this secret from you for another two years ording to our dad''s order, I heard that you¡¯re being bullied at school, so I want to tell you that our family is rich. Our family¡¯s property spans the globe. Do you know Africa? Let¡¯s put it this way, 80% of Africa¡¯s gold and oil mines belong to our family!" "That doesn¡¯t even include our properties in China and overseas!" Chen Hao swallowed his saliva. If it were not for the 10 million already his ount, he would never believe it. He would absolutely think that his sister was crazy! ¡°I know you don''t believe it. You should take some time to digest this news. I also grew up in a poor. Now I''m slowly getting used to the life of the rich. By the way, an express delivery should have arrived at your school this morning. Inside the package there are some things that I want to give you. You needn¡¯t have to worry about money.¡± "I don''t know the prices in China now. In short, you can spend 10 million first, and I will give you some more money next month! "!" After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao could not keep calm down for a long time. He was born in a poor environment. But now¡­ He was a trust fund baby! Chapter 2 Too extravagant Chapter 2 Too extravagant It turned out that the parents and sister were all lying to him about going out to work. Later, Chen Hao called his parents to verify, but his parents were angry at his sister for telling him the truth in advance. Then, they apologized to him. His father said he has only one son, and he wanted his son to have a strong character, so that is why they let him think he was poor. They had a lot of catching up to do. It was only when Chen Hao finally took out 100000 cash from the bank and received some golden cards sent by his sister, that Chen Hao was fully convinced that this was not a dream! Chen Hao felt conflicted. Yang Xia, if you haven''t broken up with me, you could have gotten anything you wanted. And Xu Nan, Lu Chen, you bothe from wealthy families, always surrounded by ass-kissers and sycophants. Maybe a little taste of your own medicine would be nice. Chen Haoughed bitterly. It was almost noon when he left the bank and reached the school gate. Chen Hao''s cell phone rang. It¡¯s the supervisor of the dormitory. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Chen, are you okay? Why aren''t you in the dorm?¡± ¡°Oh, I came out for a walk.¡± ¡°We¡¯re all worried about you, you know? By the way, today is Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday, but she couldn¡¯t reach you, so she let me ask you whether you¡¯ll go celebrate with her or not. Apparently, she mentioned it to you a few days ago.¡± Hearing this, Chen Hao scrolled through his missed calls. There were many, including one from Ma Xiaonan. Ma Xiaonan was Chen Hao''s ssmate. She¡¯s very beautiful and they got along well. Now that he broke up with Yang Xia, Ma Xiaonan was the only female friend he had. She did insist that he muste to her birthday party but at that time, he barely had enough to eat, so he didn¡¯t promise her that he woulde. But now, things have changed. Chen Hao decided to live like a normal person with his own circle of friends. Why not? He could afford to buy a gift. Hundreds of gifts actually! Hanging up, Chen Hao nced around. Among the shops around him, only Herm¨¨s caught his attention. This is an internationally acimed luxury store. The products are pricey, but it still attracts a bunch of rich kids on campus so they could keep up with thest fashion. Before, Chen Hao never expected to enter a shop like this. Now, he had a VIP shopping card that his sister sent to him, he couldn''t help but feel excited. Hell, he could buy this store on a whim Chen Hao was not used to spending his money, but using a card made it a lot easier! Taking a deep breath, Chen Hao walked into Hermes. "Hello sir, how may I help you?" The well-groomed waitress greeted Chen Hao politely. Despite her attempts to remain professional, after seeing Chen Hao¡¯s style of dress, there was still a hint of disgust in her eyes. "I''ll just look around." Chen Hao said. This was the first time he hade to such a shop. He really didn''t know what to buy. Soon the waitress¡¯s attitude became a little cold. She even rolled her eyes. "Darling, can you buy me a bag?" At this moment, a familiar voice rang through his ears. A tall and beautiful girl appeared, holding a boy''s arm. Chen Hao turned his head to look. Suddenly his face changed. It was Yang Xia and Lu Chen. "Oh, here you are, Mr. Lu Chen. Is this your girlfriend? So beautiful!" When the waitress saw Lu Chen, her attitude did a drastic U-turn. She hurriedly weed him with a smile. Lu Chen''s family was rich, so he was always in the spotlight no matter where he went. He smiled at the waitress and said, "Thank you, Miss Zhang Ru. She is my girlfriend, Yang Xia. I want to buy her a bag." Yang Xia blushed. Lu Chen was really amazing. He¡¯s respected everywhere he goes. Yang Xia pointed at a branded bag and said, "Darling, I want this!" The bag was on disy, looking amazing. The waitress Zhang Ru said with a smile, "This bag is a collection made by Hermes during its 200th anniversary celebration. Only 200 sets have been produced in the world. Only 200 sets have been produced worldwide. It cost 70,000 dors!" ¡°Wow!¡± Yang Xia almost covered her mouth in shock. Lu Chen''s eyelids fluttered slightly. He said with a smile, "Zhang Ru, if I guess right, this bag is handmade by Hermes. Given its excellent workmanship, it''s ranked among the top 10 list of the world''s luxury goods, despite being on the market for only a year. Am I right?" The waitress was slightly surprised, "Wow, you know a lot!" Lu Chen shook his head, "Although I enjoy luxury goods, I can¡¯t im to be an expert." Then he looked at Yang Xia, "My dear, you really have good taste. You were eying the bag the moment we walked into the store. But why don''t you take a look at others, preferably in the range of five to six thousand dors.¡± Lu Chen would rather die than pay 70,000 dors for a bag. Yang Xia pouted. "But my roommate¡¯s boyfriend bought her a bag that cost more than 8,000!" ¡°Okay, maybe next month when I have more spare cash.¡± At that moment, Lu Chen¡¯s description of the Collector¡¯s Edition bag had caught other people¡¯s attention. They started circling in on the luxury bag. They were all young students, but they were very fond of luxury goods. Chen Hao wanted to leave since no one paid attention to him. Yang Xia¡¯s presence only made that feeling stronger. At this point, a young waitress walked over and gave Chen Hao a bow. "Hello, sir, w...what can I do for you?" Based on her timid response, Chen Hao guess that she was new. But her manners warmed Chen Hao¡¯s heart. ¡°Uh, I want to buy a gift for a friend.¡± Chen Hao replied. "Sir, do you have a shopping card for our store? You can get a discount if you have one.¡± Chen Hao was her first customer. She didn¡¯t care about Chen Hao''s clothes. She was just using what she learned in training with a low-risk customer! "Oh, yes, is this one okay?" Chen Hao took out the global supreme shopping card. The waitress¡¯s eyes widened at once. "Is that... a Centurion card?" She was full of disbelief. How can an ordinary student own a Centurion card? Chen Hao was stunned, "What is a Centurion card?" "Sir, the Centurion card is the top ss card which can be overdrawn to thirty million, and the minimum spending limit is seventy thousand dors!" Chen Hao was even more confused. He knew that his elder sister was rich now, but he didn''t expect to be so well off! ¡°Sir, given the price range of our goods and the limitations of your card, the Collector¡¯s Edition bag is the only item you may buy. Allow me to show it to you.¡± The waitress bowed repeatedly. Chen Hao was too embarrassed to follow her at first. On the other side of the store, Yang Xia was admiring Lu Chen¡¯s exhaustive knowledge of luxury goods. They saw the little waitresse in with a key to pick up the bag in the cab. Zhang Ru frowned and asked, "Wang Xiaofei, what are you doing?¡± Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Wang Xiaofei replied in a low voice, "I am taking the bag out for a customer." ¡°Is it something you can see if you want to see it? Who wants it?¡± Wang Xiaofei looked at Chen Hao respectfully. "This gentleman!" Lu Chen and Yang Xia nced at the ''gentlemen'' at the same time. Everyone was stupefied. ¡°Hahaha...¡± When Chen Lu saw that it was Chen Hao, heughed out loud. If he could, he''d be lying on the floorughing. ¡°What? This guy wants the bag?" Lu Chen pointed at Chen Hao, behaving like he had heard a great joke. ¡°If that guy worked every day for 10 life-times, he couldn¡¯t afford to buy that bag!¡± Yang Xia, too, looked at Chen Hao with disdain. Obviously, he was humiliating himself in front of all these affluent people. The other waitress¡¯s face fell, ¡°Wang Xiaofei, what¡¯s wrong with you? Who in this area could possible afford this bag?¡± ¡°No, he''s got a Centurion card. He is a VIP customer!" "Oh, please!" Lu Chen couldn¡¯t hold back hisughter, "VIP customer? You don¡¯t know he is our top poor guy!" Yang Xia yelled at him, "Chen Hao, how can you embarrass yourself like that. Get out of here!¡± Chen Hao listened to their taunts. He just thought it was too funny to let continue. He confidently strode toward the counter and mmed the Centurion card on the table. ¡°I''ll take the bag.¡± Chapter 3 Our VIP Customer Chapter 3 Our VIP Customer ¡°Chen Hao, stop with this charade,¡± Yang Xia said to him scornfully. However, when the sales named Zhang Ru saw Chen Hao take out the Centurion Card, she was immediately stunned. This VIP shopping card could be used at most luxury stores globally and could only be owned by the top 1 percent of families across the world. Without a doubt, the owner of this card was an elite customer! Wang Xiaolin, who was standing by his side, had already brought out the credit card machine. Chen Hao keyed in his birthday as the passcode. Sure enough, the machine showed that the card swipe was sessful. The transaction wasplete! After hearing a beep sound, everybody was stunned. ¡°Holy shit, that bag was worth more than my parent¡¯s cars! How cool is that?¡± ¡°Why did this guy hide the fact that he is rich! What a baller!¡± A hoard of girls looked at Chen Hao, with their gaze burning with desire. Lu Chen was staring at him wide-eyed in disbelief. How did such poor dude get so rich? Lu Chen thought so and felt embarrassed. Just now he had showed off his knowledge of the various luxury items, but this poor bastard had just bitched him! Yang Xia was shocked as well. She asked, ¡°Chen Hao, where did you get this card?¡± The handbag was worth 70,000 dors! How could one buy it without a second thought! Chen Hao even owned a luxury brand VIP shopping card. The card alone must have cost a small fortune. If he had bought this bag for her, everyone would be paying attention to her. Chen Hao gave Yang Xia a nce and didn¡¯t bother to answer her. But he still felt the pinch. He muttered in his heart, ¡°How could sister give me a shopping card which had a 70,000 minimum spending limit? That is not enough.¡± ¡°Sir, I will wrap this up for you! Please wait for half an hour!¡± Of course the packaging must be of the finest quality as this bag was a luxury item. Chen Hao was very embarrassed when he saw the group of male and female students giving him a shocked look. He told the sales to forget about the packaging process. Then, he picked up the bag and left. ¡°Wait! You stop right there.¡± A sullen-looking Lu Chen suddenly stood in front of Chen Hao, blocking his way. ¡°What do you want?¡± Chen Hao asked coldly. Lu Chen gave a scornfulugh and pointed at the Centurion card in Chen Hao¡¯s hand. ¡°I suspect that the Centurion card is stolen. Nowadays, it is easy to steal another person¡¯s passcode!¡± After uttering those words, he looked at Zhang Ru and said to her, ¡°Miss Zhang, I advise you to contact your manager. If words got out, it would greatly affect the shop¡¯s reputation!¡± Yang Xia snapped out of her reverie and responded, ¡°He is right, Miss Zhang, how could this poor dude buy such an expensive bag and even own a VIP card!¡± Yang Xia was really reluctant to ept reality. After hearing his words, Zhang Ru felt that it was reasonable. At that moment, she looked at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Sir, please wait for a while, our manager will be here shortly!¡± After saying that, she blocked Chen Hao¡¯s way out, as if she was preventing a thief from escaping! Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect that a simple act of buying a bag would cause so much trouble. Seeing the situation, it seemed like he could not walk away. He could only wait quietly for the manager. Not long after that, an elegant woman in her thirties with a pleasant disposition came out. Zhang Ru immediately told her manager that she suspected Chen Hao had stolen the card. The manager gave Chen Hao a once-over. Then, she gave him a professional smile and said, ¡°Sir, I am very sorry, but could we check your card?¡± She was very respectful and didn¡¯t judge him at all. Chen Hao had no choice but to give her the card. He saw the female manager take out a special card reader, and then skillfully inserted the card into the machine. ¡°Sir, may I know your name? And may I have your identification card please?¡± The female manager asked. ¡°My name is Chen Hao, and my sister¡¯s name is Chen Xiao!¡± He answered. Although the passcode of this card was his birth date, Chen Xiao wasn¡¯t sure whether the card was registered under his sister¡¯s name or not. He passed her his identification card. ¡°Well, let us see how this poor dude weasels his way out of this!¡± Lu Chen was smiling coldly in the corner. He even took out his mobile phone and couldn¡¯t wait for the moment when he could call the police on Chen Hao. The female manager finished her evaluation quickly. There was a sh of surprise in her eyes as the machine disyed Chen Hao¡¯s name as the true owner of the Centurion card. It was a global VIP membership. Hence, the person who owned this card came from an extremely wealthy family for sure. The female manager started to have cold sweats. Stupid Zhang Ru, how dare she put her in a position to offend such a valuable customer! After that, she removed the card and walked to Chen Hao. Then, she immediately bent ny degrees forward in deference. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. ¡°Dear Mr. Chen, please forgive us for our offense. This Centurion card truly belongs to you!¡± ¡°What?¡± Everybody was shocked. Zhang Ru¡¯s was still stretching out her hands in a manner to prevent Chen Hao from leaving. In that instant, she felt extremely embarrassed. ¡°Manager, is there any mistake? Is this person really the Centurion card holder?¡± The female manager raised her head suddenly and gave Zhang Ru a p on the face. ¡°Put your hands down now!¡± Zhang Ru covered her face and retreated to the side of the sore. Both Lu Chen and Yang Xia looked dazed. The female manager knew that both of them were Chen Hao¡¯s acquaintances. What¡¯s more, she also knew that they were ridiculing him. She thought about damage control. What could she do to make it up to Mr. Chen so that he wouldn¡¯t have a bad impression of the store.? She walked towards Lu Chen and Yang Xia and said to them, ¡°May I ask the two of you, why did you instigate our sales officer to offend our esteemed customer?¡± Lu Chen¡¯s eyes went wide as he said, ¡°I was just doing my civic duty. Making sure that thew was being followed, that¡¯s all.¡± ¡°We ept your kind gesture. But now, if both of you have no intention of buying anything, please leave our store!!!¡± She almost snapped thest four words. The manager had just thrown down the gauntlet. She might as well as said, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! Yang Xia signaled Lu Chen with her eyes, hoping that he would stand up for her. However, Lu Chen was covered in sweat. Even if he throw all of his money down and bought a handbag that cost 10,000, he couldn¡¯t evene close to Chen Hao! Chen Hao was a VIP customer! He was just¡­. a regr customer. So he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Lu Chen¡¯s dignity had been taken away. He gritted his teeth and dragged Yang Xia along as they left the shop reluctantly. At this moment, Zhang Ru bowed slightly at Chen Hao and apologized to him, ¡°Mr. Chen, please ept my apology!¡± She regretted her actions thoroughly, for he was clearly her VIP client! Chen Hao turned a blind eye toward her and smiled at Wang Xiaolin and said, ¡°Miss, thanks for your help, but you don''t need to wrap it up. I have business to deal with now. Goodbye.¡± Feeling all the female students¡¯ longing gazes upon him for the first time in his life, Chen Hao walked embarrassingly down the stairs. This was the first time he had every spent money so frivolously. Honestly, it wasn¡¯t that great. It did not get well with his personality. Only his sister would spend money so extravagantly. Chen Hao¡¯s only wish was to be an ordinary person who did not have to worry about such a huge sum of money! After walking out of the shop, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang again. This time it was from Ma Xiaonan. Over the phone, he could hear Ma Xiaonan¡¯s anxious voice saying, ¡°Listen, Chen Hao, I don¡¯t care what others think of you, but you are my best buddy. You have toe to my birthday party! Your dorm mates are here already!¡± Chen Hao smiled, nodded his head and answered, ¡°I am heading there right away!¡± ¡°Oh right, put some nice clothes on. Today I am going to introduce you to a youngdy!¡± Ma Xiaonan told Chen Hao. Chen Hao could do nothing but acquiesce it. He could not hold the handbag just like that. Chen Hao made his way to the nearby supermarket and bought a two-cent worth of red colored stic bag to put the handbag in. He hurried up to catch a cab and made his way to Ru Yi Restaurant. At this moment, inside the private room of the restaurant, Ma Xiaonan hung up her phone and smiled at the gorgeous long-haired girl who was sitting next to her and said, ¡°Yifan, Chen Hao is my best friend. He is a nice person and studies hard. When he arrives, I will introduce you to him!¡± Yifan still had her headset on. She was sitting crossed-legged on the chair, with her legs dangling. She looked very pretty and innocent. She answered, ¡°Ok!¡± Zhao Yifan and Ma Xiaonan were childhood friends. And they studied in the same college. However, they weren¡¯t in the same major program. It was Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday. She had invited both Zhao Yifan¡¯s and Chen Hao¡¯s dorm mates to attend her birthday party. It was like having a dorm mixer party! Ma Xiaonan knew that her gorgeous friend Zhao Yifan who had been single throughout her high school years was looking for a boyfriend. What a great chance for her two friends to meet! Zhao Yifan was drinking fruit juice when the door to the private room opened. Chapter 4 Birthday Present Chapter 4 Birthday Present As the door opened, they saw that it wasn''t Chen Hao. ¡°Xu Nan! Why are you here?¡± Ma Xiaonan was upset the moment she saw Xu Nan. They were ssmates. Ma Xiaonan had invited Xu Nan before she knew of the incident between him and Chen Hao. After she heard, she personally called Xu Nan and gave him a piece of her mind and told him not toe. She didn¡¯t expect that he would be this thick-skinned and show up anyway. What a piece of work. "Ma Xiaonan, are you still mad? I was only messing with Chen Hao yesterday. I didn¡¯t know that he would take it so personally!" Xu Nanughed heartily. Some of his roommates came too. They even brought gifts. Ma Xiaonan had a rich family too. She tried to help Chen Hao countless times, but Chen Hao refused to ept her help. Xu Nan was Ma Xiaonan''s ssmate in high school. "Xu Nan, when is this Chen Hao that you wanted me to meet going to get here,¡± Zhao Yifan''s beautiful eyes furrowed slightly as she casually asked. As soon as Xu Nan saw Zhao Yifan, his eyes gleamed. In fact, he had long wanted to be acquainted with Zhao Yifan as she was the hottest girl in the college''s broadcasting department. The truth came out immediately. Xu Nan hadn¡¯te to the party to make amends, he came to get with Zhao Yifan. When he heard what Yifan said, Xu Nan immediately responded, "Oh, Yifan, Chen Hao is our ssmate. He is quite a poor guy. You should have seen him yesterday, crying like a little bitch. HAHA. " The moment he recalled yesterday''s incident whereby Chen Hao had sent Durex to his ex-girlfriend to help her with her sex life, Xu Nan almostughed himself to death. He told her the entire story in a few words. "Shut your mouth," Ma Xiaonan immediately flew into a rage and red at Xu Nan. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Zhao Yifan and her beautiful roommates looked incredulous. They couldn''t believe that there was such a poor and pathetic person who went to this college. Chen Hao''s roommates looked embarrassed. Nothing good ever came out of Xu Nan''s filthy mouth. "Ok, ok, ok. I won''t talk about it anymore!" Xu Nan smiled broadly and said, "Xu Nan,e and see the gift that I bought you." At this moment, there was a light knock on the door of the private room. Following that, the door opened. This time, Chen Hao entered with a red-colored stic bag! "Chen Hao, here you are!" Ma Xiaonan immediately stood up and smiled. Chen Hao nodded his head. He instantly noticed that Xu Nan was sneering at him. In the past, he felt ufortable around trust fund babies, but now, he was the richest of all of them! He''s Chen Hao, Prince of African Oil and Gold. Zhao Yifan also raised her eyes to look at Chen Hao. Zhao Yifan really wanted to get a boyfriend. His family might not need to be extremely wealthy. It was even fine for him to be a bit ordinary. However, he still needed to be at least good-looking. Although she thought Chen Hao was quite good-looking, his entire attire from top to bottom definitely did not exceed 150 bucks. He was extremely ordinary! Especially after hearing what Xu Nan had said about him just now, her impression of Chen Hao had sunk to the bottom of the abyss. Zhao Yifan felt disappointed. "Chen Hao, this is Yifan and these are her roommates. Let''s get to know each other!" Ma Xiaonan smiled and introduced them to each other. Chen Hao nodded his head. "My name is Chen Hao, nice to meet you, Yifan!" Chen Hao reached out his hand in a polite manner. However, Zhao Yifan did not even look at him. She merely turned her head and continued drinking her fruit juice. Chen Hao''s hand dangled in mid-air, and he could only retract his hand back sheepishly. Ma Xiaonan knew that her best friend had always been this way. If she was attracted by someone, she would talk a little bit more. However, if she wasn''t attracted by someone, then she said nothing. Chen Hao did not say anything. He was about to have a sit. At this moment, Xu Nan''s gaze fell on the red-colored stic bag in Chen Hao''s hands. He smirked in that instant. "Well, Chen Hao, what gift did you bring for Xiao Nan''s birthday? Why don''t you take it out and let everyone have a look!" Chen Hao''s dorm leader could not stand that anymore. "Xu Nan, why do you always have something against Chen Hao?" Xu Nanughed heartily. He always felt a sense of superiority when he ridiculed others. At that moment, he nced coldly at Chen Hao and took out his gift first. It happened to be a ck-colored bag of a famous brand. "Xiao Nan, this is my gift to you, a Hermes bag!" When Xu Nan took out the bag, he instantly attracted the attention of Zhao Yifan and her beautiful roommates. "A Hermes Lindy bag? The market price of this bag is 8,999, right?" All the beautiful girls changed the way they looked at Xu Nan immediately. This guy was just too generous. Even the aloof Zhao Yifan gave Xu Nan a second look. "It''s not that expensive, my dad knows the district manager of Hermes very well. I bought it for 7,999 since we were acquainted with each other." Xu Nan smiled and basked in the crowd''s admiration. Ma Xiaonan really hated Xu Nan, but she knew her ce as host and still needed to show the proper gratitude. "The Hermes Lindy bag is thetest luxury bagunched by Hermes. It is very popr in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The price of this exact same model is at least 12,000 in those areas!" Zhao Yifan gave the bag a nce as he spoke. Xu Nan raised his eyebrows. "Yifan, I did not know that you were so knowledgeable in luxury goods." Zhao Yifan looked at Xu Nan and gave him a light smile. "I wanted to buy this model but the price was a little bit too expensive." Xu Nan immediately said, "Yifan, I can give one to you as a present when you celebrate your birthday. 8,000 or 9,000 is nothing to me. In addition, the staff of Hermes store near the entrance of our school knows my family very well." Zhao Yifan remained silent and only smiled. She had never meet Xu Nan before, but she had heard rumors that he was a vagrant. But now, he was being a very magnanimous person. Zhao Yifan''s impression of him improved a lot. After that, Chen Hao''s dorm mates also presented their gifts respectively. Of course they weren''t as expensive as Xu Nan''s luxury item, but it was still worth around 300 to 400. Chen Hao did not know what to say. He nned to give his present to Ma Xiaonan after the event. However at this moment, Xu Nan looked at the red-colored stic bag in Chen Hao''s hand and smiled evilly. He said, "Chen Hao, I begged you to let us see your gift just now, so why don''t you take it out and show it to everybody now? Look at the stic bag you''re holding. See how festive it looks!" "Xu Nan, shut your mouth up. Whatever Chen Hao gives me, I will be happy!" Ma Xiaonan warned Xu Nan again. However, Ma Xiaonan still cast a hopeful look in Chen Hao''s direction. Chen Hao felt a little embarrassed. I thought that perhaps he should have waited the extra half an hour to have thedy wrap the bag properly. This was supposed to be a simple gathering. Why did Xu Nane and ruin it for everyone! "Xiaonan, I bought you a bag!" Chen Hao stood up and took the bag out from the red-colored stic bag. Zhao Yifan''s frowned tightly and her roommates also gave him a look of disdain. This person was such a loser and a disgrace! "Wow!" When Chen Hao took out the bag, Xu Nan shouted, "Hermes! Hahaha! Chen Hao bought a Herm¨¨s for her as a gift too! It is such a luxurious item!" "Chen Hao! Say it, where did you buy this bag? It must be quite expensive, right?" Xu Nan''s words made all the girlsugh heartily. Zhao Yifan shook her head slightly. She initially thought that although Chen Hao was poor, at least he was a person with integrity. Honestly, she could see herself being friends with her. But now, Zhao Yifan really looked down upon Chen Hao. "This is Hermes''s 200-years Anniversary Collector''s Edition bag. There are only 200 pieces of these bags in the entire world. Each bag is worth at least 70,000 dors!" The moment Zhao Yifan saw it, she instantly recognized it. "There are counterfeits sold online and they are priced at approximately 150. Even if you were a prideful loser, nobody would buy it to parade it around the streets. It is shameful to carry around this counterfeit high-end luxury product!" Zhao Yifan treated him rudely. She looked at Chen Hao squarely. The person in front of her really made her feel gross! Ma Xiaonan thought that Chen Hao would buy her some small widget. She did not expect that he bought her a counterfeit item to impress her. But, Ma Xiaonan still said happily, "Chen Hao, anyway, thank you for your gift. Next time you don''t have to spend this kind of money anymore, it is still very expensive for 150!" Chen Hao felt helpless. He wanted to say that this was the real thing. However, when he saw Zhao Yifan and her roommates¡¯ scornful gaze, he betted that even if he told them the truth, they would not believe him. And they would look down on him even further. At this moment, Zhao Yifan looked at Ma Xiaonan and said, "Xiaonan, since when did you be friends with such a phony?" Ma Xiaonan saw that Chen Hao would soon be ced in an embarrassing situation. Thus, she quickly changed the topic and said, "Well, well, it''s my birthday today. We are all friends. Come on, let''s toast to this asion!" Zhao Yifan and her roommates still looked at Chen Hao with disgust and did not react. Xu Nan and his dorm mates were smirking. Chen Hao saw the awkward situation he had put Xun Ma in. He immediately got up and said, "Happy birthday, Xiaonan. However, I suddenly reminded that I have something to do back in my dorm. I will go back first. Have fun!" Chen Hao knew that he was unwanted. He got up to leave. "Chen Hao!" Chapter 5 Hot Spring Resort Chapter 5 Hot Spring Resort Chen Hao walked out of the room. His best friends Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan came after him. "What are you doing? The present isn''t the most important thing!" Ma Xiaonan anxiously exined. Yang Hui added, "Chen Hao, don¡¯t leave. Finish the meal before leaving. If you leave, there is no point for us to stay as well!" Chen Hao smiled and replied, "Enjoy yourself. Yang Hui, Xiaonan, I really have something to do. Just trust me. I am not lying to you." Chen Hao was not sure if they believed him or not but he left anyway. It all came back to the card that his sister gave him. That shopping card which had a minimum spending of seventy thousand dors unexpectedly got him into trouble again. Despite Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan''s persistence, Chen Hao ultimately still left. "Did that poor dude leave?" Xu Nan mocked Chen Hao again when Ma Xiaonan and Yang Hui came back to the room. Yang Hui rebutted, "Xu Nan, can''t you stop bullying him? Stop taking advantage of the fact that he is an easy target. Why don¡¯t you pick on someone your own size?" Yang Hui could not stand it anymore. "Haha, he was the one asking for trouble. I''m not the one who bought a knock-off and tried to pass it off as a real bag to look cool. I mean, a Hermes Limited Edition Anniversary bag! I will give him that, he has balls." Zhao Yifan shook her head. Chen Hao was walking on the streets aimlessly after he left. When Chen Hao had no money, all he had dreamed of was being rich. Now that he was rich, he didn¡¯t feel any better. On the contrary, he had just spent 70,000 dors but he did not even get to have a beverage at the party. To make it worse, people liked him even less! Chen Hao was thinking if he should look for a ce to get a drink. Just then, his phone rang. It was from his sister Chen Xiao. Chen Hao picked up and answer, "Sister!" "Chen Hao, what are you up to?" "I am not exactly doing anything right now." "Then help your sister out." Chen Hao asked, "What can I do?" "You¡¯ve probably heard of Jin Ling Commercial Street right? I invested and developed the street when I visited you four years ago. Right now, I need your help to sign the renewal contract on my behalf. I am unable toe over to do so myself!" "Since the development and investment are jointly owned by both of us, it would also work if you signed it. So go and help me sign the contract!" "Hello, Chen Hao, did you hear what I just said?" Of course Chen Hao heard what she said. He was justpletely stunned and bewildered. Jin Ling Commercial Street? That was one of the best sites in the whole city! Themercial street was packed with shops and businesses were booming. At the end of themercial street, there was a Spa resort that was built into a mountain. The resort was constantly visited by the rich tycoons from Jin Ling City. Wait, does that mean that the entire stretch of themercial street is owned by his family? "Sister, are you serious? Themercial street is owned by our family?" "Damn! After speaking to you for so long, you still think I am kidding? I developed it myself. Back then I could not start so many businesses in multiple industries under my name, thus I used your identification. Therefore, you own half of the street!" "Look for a manager called Li Zhenguo when you arrive at the Hot Spring Vi. I have informed him that you, the second boss, will sign the contract!" Chen Hao was left speechless. ¡°Alright, that''s all! I still have something to do over here. Bye!" Chen Xiao hung up the phone. Chen Hao held onto his phone and was in a daze for a long while. Hot Spring Vi was such an exclusive area. In the past, he did not even dare to think about going there. Yet, things were different now. Chen Hao ultimately took a deep breath and called for a cab to send him to Jin Ling Commercial Street. Hot Spring Vi had restaurants, entertainment centers and amodations all under one roof. It was a vi next to the mountain and below it was themercial street built along the mountain stretch. Chen Hao gathered himself and walked in. "Sir, please stop right there!" Just as Chen Hao was about to walk in, he was stopped by a few beautiful receptionists. ¡°Sir, did you book a ce in the vi?" a receptionist asked Chen Hao. They were clearly ustomed to meeting a lot of big shots. But now in front of them was Chen Hao, who was dressed like a beggar. Although the few receptionists sounded polite, you could see in their faces the look of disgust that the woman at Hermes had before Chen Hao revealed the truth. "I did not make a reservation. I am here to look for someone!" Chen Hao replied. At the same time, he nced at the receptionists and was shocked. No wonder people said that the Hot Spring Resort is a paradise in Jin Ling City. There were about five to six receptionists. They looked as if they were fresh graduates from university and they looked like models as they had both great looks and good figures. "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" The beautifuldies frowned at the same time upon hearing what Chen Hao said. At this point, their voices had be cold and indifferent. "I am looking for Mr. Li Zhenguo. He is the General Manager!" Of course, Chen Hao could see that they looked down on him. However, he still chose to tell the truth. The beautifuldies nced at each other. General Manager Li? They concluded that this poor dude had no idea who General Manager Li was. Did he think that the General Manager was someone that one could randomly meet? They were also certain by then that this poor dude was here for a visit. After all, Hot Spring Resort was really too well-known. The majority of the poption could not enter as they could not afford it and there was no way they would be allowed to enter. Despite the fact that they were horrified by Chen Hao''s appearance, they still kept the air of politeness. "Sir, if you wish to meet General Manager Li, you have to make an appointment. If you do not have an appointment, please leave right now!" Chen Hao finally realized that these receptionists mistook him as someone who was here to swindle them. Just as he was considering calling his sister to help to notify Li Zhenguo about his arrival, he heard someone speaking. "Miss Zheng Yue, what are you all doing? Does Hot Spring Vi allow anyone and everyone into their premises?" A young guy who wasvishly-dressed with gelled hair walked into the vi. He was holding onto the hand of a flirtatiously-dressed woman with heavy makeup. He threw a contemptuous nce at Chen Hao then smiled at the lead receptionist. "Shangtian, I thought you said that this was the most luxurious location in Jin Ling City? Why is there still someone dressed like this here?" the flirtatious-looking woman asked. This woman was as deep as a kiddie pool. The lead receptionist Zheng Yue apologized to him, "I am truly sorry Mr. Li. We will take care of this right away!" Li Shangtian smirked, "That''s great. I am nning to invite a few friends from out of townter on. Our vi is a symbol of Jin Ling City. It should not be downgraded. I hope you don''t get angry at me for babbling. My father and your General Manager Li know each other and even shared a meal together!" It was obvious that Li Shangtian had the utmost respect for General Manager Li from his tone. Thedy in his arms was practically gushing upon realizing that he knew General Manager Li. She didn''t know he had such a strong socialwork and that he even knew General Manager Li who was such a big shot in Jin Ling City. Even the group of receptionists next to Zheng Yue was secretly flirting with him in hopes of garnering his attention. Zheng Yue nodded, "Yes, Mr. Li!" She then turned around and gave a stern look at Chen Hao. "Please leave. Don''t hold up our business or I will call security!" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Fine! I will make a phone call first!" Chen Hao took a deep breath and walked out. While walking out, he took out his phone. "Damn! This guy sure knows how to pretend and show off! Acting like he is actually a big shot!" Li Shangtian sneered. "Mr. Li, don''t take it too seriously. This kind of issue happened quite often in Hot Spring Vi." Zheng Yue smiled apologetically. Li Shangtian nodded and said, "Miss Zheng Yue, would you do me a favor ande over to have some drinks with us after the arrival of my friends?" "Let''s talk about thatter, Mr. Li!" Zheng Yue gave a reserved smile. Li Shangtian looked suggestively at Zheng Yue while nodding his head. He then took his wallet out and walked toward the front desk to check in. The group of beautiful receptionists looked adoringly at Zheng Yue and asked, "Zheng Yue, do you know Mr. Li?" Zheng Yue tidied up her hair and proudly replied, "Of course. Why else did we choose to work here as receptionists right out of graduation? It was because we can get to know more rich tycoons like Mr. Li!" "Did you all recognize the flirtatious woman in his arms? She is a second-tier celebrity. Mr. Li''s family is involved in real estate and his family''s worth is more than two billion!" "Wow! No wonder his father knows the big boss in Jin Ling Commercial Street, General Manager Li. I never knew he had such high status!" The group of receptionists stared at the silhouette of Li Shangtian and they were infatuated with him. "Oh, speaking of General Manager Li, he is probably in a meeting with the leaders of Jin Ling City as well as the presidents of Jin Ling''s Chamber of Commerce. That loser still dared to say he was looking for General Manager Li. This dude is such a joke." Zheng Yue scorned. She was smiling and getting ready to go over and make small talk with Li Shangtian. When she lifted her head up, she saw that the poor loser dude who was chased out had returned. "Why did youe back again?" Zheng Yue could not understand. The group of receptionists also looked at Chen Hao in disdain. Chapter 6 Bumped into a Familiar Face Chapter 6 Bumped into a Familiar Face At that moment, inside the most luxurious room of the entireplex, a middle-aged man with arched eyebrows and superior presence was having a social gathering with a group of well-to-do people. He was none other than Li Zhenguo, the General Manager of Jin Ling Street, who was also a rich tycoon in Jin Ling. During the conversation, a strange thing urred that caught everyone¡¯s attention. Mr. Li went out for a phone call and then suddenly he dashed out of the room. "What is going on with Mr. Li?" Everyone was clueless. In the meantime, Li Shangtian saw Chen Hao entering the front lobby. He could not help but step forward to assist Zheng Yue in resolving the matter. "Miss Zheng Yue, just call the security. There is no other way to settle issues with a barbarian!" Li Shangtian gave a cold smile. Zheng Yue nodded and a few guards came rushing aver to surround Chen Hao. "Stop right there!!!" At this moment, Li Zhenguo had rushed to the reception lobby as quickly as he could. His voice stopped everyone in the vicinity. "General Manager Li?" Zheng Yue and the others were quick to stand respectfully in front of him. Li Shangtian also respectfully said, "Hi Mr. Li, I am Li Shangtian and my dad is Li Jian. We met previously at the business banquet." Li Shangtian approached him hurriedly to greet him. To his surprise, Li Zhenguo did not even cast him a nce. General Manager Li walked toward Chen Hao and stopped in front of him. He even pushed Zheng Yue and the others out of the way rudely. "Are you Chen Hao?" Li Zhenguo asked respectfully. Chen Hao nodded. "Yes, I am." "How is CEO Chen Xiao rted to you?" "She is my sister!" Chen Hao replied. Li Zhenguo immediately stooped over and bowed to Chen Hao. "Hello, Young Master Chen! I am Li Zhenguo!" WHAT THE HELL! Everyone was beyond bewildered. Li Shangtian''s eyelid even twitched. Why did General Manager Li bow to this bumpkin? Who was he? Chen Hao was also dazed. He knew that his sister was the CEO of this area. However, he did not expect that his sister had such reputation to the extent that the General Manager would treat him this way. To be honest, Chen Hao was still not used to being a wealthy person or even used to being treated like a human being! Chen Hao lightly coughed. He then politely said, "General Manager Li, my sister asked me toe over and sign the contract!" "Young Master Chen, it is a renewal contract. The entire Ji Ling Commercial Street including this vi is owned by you and the CEO. Half of businesses are under the CEO''s name and the other half is under yours! I have always wanted to pay you a visit, but the CEO did not allow me to!" Li Zhenguo wiped off the sweat on his forehead. He was thrilled and greatly rxed by Chen Hao¡¯s polite response. Zheng Yue, Li Shangtian and the others werepletely dumbfounded. What! This entire stretch of the street was owned by this guy¡¯s family? This shabby dude was actually the CEO of over half of the businesses in this area? Li Zhenguo snorted, "Who was the one that stopped young Master Chen from entering?" Li Zhenguo turned his head around and nced coldly at the group of people in the reception lobby. CEO Chen Xiao was extremely special to him. The reason Li Zhenguo got to where he was today was because of Chen Xiao promoting him to this position. The second CEO, her own brother, had arrived and he couldn''t believe that he was nearly chased out and disrespected like that! If CEO Chen Xiao ever found out about this, he would be fired and thrown back to the bun store where he started. Zheng Yue''s face turned red and she quickly kept her head low, not daring to speak. Li Shangtian, who was standing next to her, questioned, "Mr. Li, are you sure about this? This poor dude is the owner of the Ji Ling Street?" BAM!! Upon hearing those words, Li Zhenguo pped Li Shangtian across the face. "You bastard, what did you just say?" "Mr. Li, I didn¡¯t mean anything by it." After getting pped, Li Shangtian covered his mouth and felt he hadmitted some great crime. However rich he thought he was, it was nothingpared to Li Zhenguo. And Li Zhenguo was bowing to the boy he had just insulted! "Throw this guy out of here!" Li Zhenguo ordered the group of security guards. "Yes, sir!¡± The group of security guards came up and surrounded Li Shangtian and the female celebrity apanying him. They then shoved and chased the both of them out. Li Shangtian felt so ashamed! What happened today was humiliating beyond belief! But what could he do? He was just an ordinary multi-millionaire. Chen Hao looked on and did not stop the guards from doing what they were doing. He did not expect that Li Zhenguo, who looked honest and considerate, had such a strong character. If only I could be this domineering someday in the future Chen Hao thought to himself. He followed Li Zhenguo into the vi. Li Zhenguo introduced himself. Chen Hao learned that a few years ago, Li Zhenguo and his wife sold steamed buns in a small shop. His sister Chen Xiao was growing up in a poor household in their neighborhood. His sister was so poor that she had to resort to begging for food and it was Li Zhenguo and his wife who gave his sister her first job. After her sister starting making some money, she managed to collect some assets and cultivate them. After she had enough to form her ownpany, Li Zhenguo was promoted and got to where he was today. No wonder Li Zhenguo was so respectful toward his family! After finishing talking, Chen Hao proceeded to sign the documents. As mentioned by his sister, most of the shops in Jin Ling Commercial Street were registered under his name. Chen Hao would never have dreamt that he could be this powerful! After that, Li Zhenguo prepared a banquet specifically for Chen Hao. Chen Hao was famished. It suddenly dawned on him that he hadn¡¯t eaten anything since this morning. As he was finishing up his meal, Li Zhenguo smiled. "Young Master Chen, when you are done with your meal, you can visit all your different businesses around here. That was what CEO Chen Xiao said. This is to enable you to familiarize yourself with the businesses within your family. You can also learn how to conduct yourself as a rich businessman and not a poor beggar. " As he said that, a quick idea shed through his mind. "Young Master Chen, excuse me for a minute!" He then walked out and made a phone call. He merely said, "All of you,e up here!¡± Then he left and walked downstairs. Chen Xiao had no idea what General Manager Li was up to. Being famished, he gobbled down the big Australian steak on his te. Just as he was enjoying his meal, the door of his private room suddenly opened. Then, Chen Hao saw six girls walk in. They turned out to be Zheng Yue and the other beautiful receptionists. This time around, they looked at Chen Hao differently. Zheng Yue smiled seductively, "Young Master Chen, I apologize for my actions before" ¡°Young Master Chen, I am sorry!" The other receptionists also apologized in perfect unison. "What are you all doing?" Chen Hao wiped his mouth clean. To be honest, even though they had been pretty cruel at the reception lobby earlier, Chen Hao had no intentions of taking revenge. He just wanted to help his sister as soon as possible and so then he could leave. But, by the look of their faces, Li Zhenguo must have reprimanded them just now. They must have been told to make it up to Chen Hao. "We are here specifically to apany you Master Chen. As long as you ept our apology, we would do anything to please you," Zheng Yue said charmingly. Being the receptionists at Hot Spring Vi, they all had one ultimate motive; date a rich young man like him. That way, they could get married into a wealthy family. General Manager Li had intentionally arranged for them toe up and apologize but it hadn¡¯t taken much to convince Zheng Yue and the others to do this. It didn¡¯t suck being rich. This young man in front of their eyes was a trust fund baby! An extremely wealthy trust fund baby! After understanding their intentions and their sudden change in attitude, Chen Hao was shocked. Damn, six of them? That was a lot of women in front of him. Chen Hao was in a daze. At this moment, Zheng Yue took out a remote and pressed the button towards the wall. Immediately, the wall began to move down and an indoor pool and a big water bed showed up. Then the receptionists, following Zheng Yue¡¯s lead, unfastened their dresses. Zheng Yue took off her upper outer garment, sat next to Chen Hao, and started softly rubbing him. Chen Hao felt lost. Just as Chen Hao was not able to control himself, his phone rang.It was from his sister. Chen Hao calmed down and said, "Ladies, I need to take care of this." Chen Hao rushed out of the room and the potential orgy. It turned out that his sister wanted to check with him about the status of the contract. She also told Chen Hao stop acting like the humble poor kid. He was a member of the rich elite and he needed to act like it. She talked about a bunch of things for a long time, most of which went over Chen Hao¡¯s head. After he hung up, Chen Hao smiled bitterly as he thought about what was happening in the room next to him and what to do next. Chen Hao was already twenty-two and was still a virgin. Seeing those beautiful women definitely tempted him. I mean, what a way to be a man, Chen Hao thought to himself. Although he used to date Yang Xia and he really loved her back then, he was also respectful toward her and never pushed her for sex. As he thought of Yang Xia, he winced as his heart was in pain. If Yang Xia knew that he was rich, would shee back to him? Chen Hao sighed. He recalled the various memories he had while he was with Yang Xia. They held hands in the canteen, the library, the park and many other ces. They hung out, joked around and even made out at all these ces. Chen Hao''s rising temptation cooled down. He couldn¡¯t lose his virginity like this. N?velDrama.Org content. Chen Hao decided to leave the vi. He called Li Zhenguo and told him that he was going to take a walk. After he left the vi, he walked to Jin Ling Commercial Street. The people walking up and down the street were all young rich people or bosses who were dressed up well. Chen Hao, you are not that poor boy anymore! You own this street! You are the big mack daddy pimp! You never have to be afraid or intimidate by this people again! At this moment, he heard a voice that called out his name. "Chen Hao!" Chen Hao turned around and saw a karaoke bar named ¡°Imperial¡±. In front of the entrance were Ma Xiaonan, Zhao Yifan and the rest of the group. Xu Nan and his dormitory mates were also there. "Chen Hao, it really is you! Didn''t you say that you were returning to the dormitory? Why are you here? You lied to me!" Ma Xiaonan pretended to be angry and ran to Chen Hao upon seeing him. Chapter 7 Imperial KTV Chapter 7 Imperial KTV Chen Hao scratched his head awkwardly. He was actually trying to avoid Ma Xiaonan and the others especially Zhao Yifan who seemed to hate him. He didn¡¯t want to meet them and get the cold-shoulder. "Xu Nan suggested wee to Imperial KTV to hang out. If you ditch on us once again, we are no longer friends!" Ma Xiaonan said jokingly. Ma Xiaonan was a really cool girl, and very little got to her. But, she could notprehend the awkward situation Chen Hao was once in. She couldn¡¯t never understand how the differences in family background and money really affected people like Chen Hao when having to be with people who had money. Of course, this was no longer the case anymore, and in fact their situation had be reversed. Chen Hao was worth many times more than all ofbined. Ma Xiaonan took Chen Hao''s silence as consent. She said, "Let''s go and have fun together. I know that you are afraid of Xu Nan making fun of you. Don''t worry, if he tries to bully you again, I¡¯ll have your back!" Chen Hao smiled. If he rejected her, she would probably get really mad. Fine. He decided to join them and hang out together. Ma Xiaonan dragged Chen Hao to the entrance of the Imperial KTV. Chen Hao took a look and realized that this KTV was one of his properties. In the past, Chen Hao would not have dared to im he could afford to treat them. However, the situation now has changed. He could have the entire ce emptied at hismand. ¡°Oh! Young Master Chen is here at Jin Ling Commercial Street. Youe here often do you? Do you know any fun ces? Maybe you can show us around!" Xu Nan immediately started making fun of Chen Hao as soon as Chen started talking to his friends. "Xu Nan, shut up! Remember what I warned you about?" Ma Xiaonan scolded. Xu Nan gave a sly smile and said, "Okay, I know. I had nothing but good intentions. Just weing back to the group is all. After all, this is a ce where all the rich peoplee to enjoy themselves. Just wanted him to remember his ce." Zhao Yifan nced at Chen Hao. She felt embarrassed to be near Chen Hao. Furthermore, with the crowd on the streeting and going, it made things worse. Would these people think they were friends, or even worse, going out? To avoid this embarrassing situation she quickly said, "Okay, let''s get in. Xu Nan, have you reserved a room?" "Yes, I asked my friend to reserve one for me. Normally by this time, the Imperial KTV wouldn''t have any rooms left." Xu Nan acted like the host and said, "Follow me!" He led the way and the group followed him. It was Chen Hao''s first time at a KTV. He couldn¡¯t believe how extravagant the interior was. The room that Xu Nan chose was even better. There was a bigfy sofa, a private bathroom, a minibar, and even a huge fish tank that sparkled under the lights. Upon entering, the group of beautifuldies took their seats on one end. Chen Hao sat with his dormitory mates on the other. ¡°Start ordering songs,¡± one of the girls finally said. The showboats finally had their time to shine on the mike and they took turns to sing. The others listened and talked to friends. The mood was lively. While the group of beautifuldies were chit-chatting Zhao Yifan was just sitting there crossing and shaking her silky leg. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and asked, "Is that a fengshui fish?" Chen Hao was bored and his interest was piqued by the fengshui fish in the fish tank. He stared at the fish. He remembered that he saw this type of fish in a book before. This fish was popr in Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, on a closer look this fish looked different from what he thought it would look like! Chen Hao talked to his roomate Yang Hui who was beside him. Yang Hui said, "This kind of fengshui fish is different from thosemonly seen in Hong Kong. This fish was sent over from Mysia and it is extremely valuable. This can only be found in the hands of powerful and wealthy families!" Xu Nan overheard Chen Hao and Yang Hui discussing the fengshui fish. He was the one that reserved this room and felt like the party¡¯s leader. He smiled and said, "Oh, Young Master Chen, you cannot recognize this high ss fengshui fish? I thought you were so smart since you could identify high ss bags from Hermes?" Zhao Yifan frowned when she heard the name Hermes being brought up again. She recalled what happened at Ma Xiaonan¡¯s party and the feeling of disgust feel over her again. Chen Hao was really just a low-ss dude. Blondie, Xu Nan¡¯s henchman,ughed and sneered. "Haha, is there a counterfeit equivalent of a fengshui fish. If there were, Chen Hao would find it. He would snatch the sucker right up!" "This type of fish is not only good for fengshui. In the south, it is also referred to as a prosperity fish. It is able to bring fortune to the family that owns it," Zhao Yifan added. "Oh, Yifan, you really are so well-educated and knowledgeable! How did you know that!" Xu Nan heard what Zhao Yifan said and gave her a thumbs-up. ¡°Of course. Yifan is a uniquedy. Not like our bum-fuck country boy over there." Zhao Yifan¡¯s friends and roommates burst outughing. "This room is rather expensive, isn''t it? Can your friend really afford it?" Zhao Yifan looked at Xu Nan and she was slowly starting to warm-up to him. She had an extremely good impression of Xu Nan. If he could just act more like a man and not a little boy, Zhao Yifan would consider him as a potential boyfriend. "This room costs around 600 dors a night. Fortunately I have connections, if not, you would not have the opportunity to be in here regardless of your wealth!" Xu Nan proudly smiled. Then he suddenly thought of something that had slipped his mind. He smacked his head and said, "Oh right, if you had not reminded me I would have forgotten about this. I promised to tell my friend once I arrived." Xu Nan made a phone call right after. Chen Hao sat by the side of the room and only talked to Yang Hui and the rest of them. Both sides remained separated. The original intention was to utilize this birthday celebration to build rtionships between the different dormitories, particrly the boys and the girls. However, it was obvious that the only ones willing to even try to talk to the girls was Xu Nan and his group of friends.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Besides Xu Nan, Blondie had already mingled well together with the girls from Zhao Yifan''s dormitory. The door of the room suddenly opened. A guy dressed in a ck suit and shy leather shoes walked in. His skin was fair, he was tall and he looked very charismatic. "Ning Fan, you son of a bitch!" Xu Nan saw Ning Fan entering and immediately walked up to him. ¡°Xu Nan, how is it? Are you satisfied with this room?" ¡°Of course I am! Ning Fan can do anything!" Xu Nan grinned. Blondie and the rest of his group also politely greeted Ning Fan. Ning Fan looked around that room at all of the beautifuldies. He paid extra attention and stared at them for quite a while, especially Zhao Yifan who had good looks and was very elegant. The perfect girl to be the perfect girlfriend. "Xu Nan, why don¡¯t you shut your big mouth up for a second and introduce your friends to me?" "Oh, I forgot to introduce him to everyone! This is Ning Fan, my childhood friend. He is a student at the university next to ours. His family is involved in the food and beverage industry. The Ming Huang Restaurant on Jin Ling Street is owned by Ning Fan''s family. The monthly ie of the restaurant is around 10 million! We can get this room tonight because of him!" Xu Nan proudly introduced his friend. Upon hearing that, Zhao Yifan and the rest of her friends all looked up towards Ning Fan. Ming Huang Restaurant? Yummy! In order to be able to open a restaurant in Jin Ling Commercial Street, the restaurant had to be of the highest quality. Some of the restaurants even had Michelin stars! And they made truck-loads of money. Zhao Yifan suddenly realized that she couldn¡¯t take her eyes off of Ning Fan. "Haha, don''t listen to Xu Nan''s nonsense. It is just a small family business. As for tonight, the manager knows my father. Thus, if anyone wants toe and hang out in the future, just let me know!" Ning Fan coolly smiled and humbly shook his head. " Ning Fan, do you have a girlfriend?" a dorm mate of Zhao Yifan uncontrobly asked. Everyone burst intoughter. Ning Fan shook his head and smiled. He turned around and looked at Zhao Yifan. He smoothly said, "Hello, nice to meet you!" "Hello!" Zhao Yifan restrained her smile the best she could. Xu Nan then started introducing everyone to Ning Fan. Toward the end, Xu Nan looked at Chen Hao who was sitting in the corner. Chen Hao had been quiet the whole night. He pointed at Chen Hao. "''Ning Fan, that guy is Chen Hao!" Ning Fan was just about to shake hands with Chen Hao. Upon hearing that, his eyes twitched. "Oh? This is the guy that lost his girlfriend to Lu Chen? And he also helped to deliver condoms to Lu Chen just before getting down his ex? This is that Chen Hao?¡± Chapter 8 Huge Indemnity Chapter 8 Huge Indemnity Xu Nan sneered and said, "It''s him!" Ning Fan immediately took an interest. He was about to shake hands with Chen Hao, but pulled it back. Instead, he patted Chen Hao''s shoulder. "So, you''re the famous Chen Hao. I have seen your ex- girlfriend before. Yang Xia is quite pretty. I would like to apologize on behalf of my boy for stealing your girlfriend!" "By the way, if youe to Jin Ling Street next time, just say my name. You can get thirty percent off!" Ning Fan said sincerely. It seemed that Ning Fan was really trying to be nice. "Ning Fan, it doesn''t matter if he mentioned your name because this poor guy can''t even afford anything on thismercial street!" Several girls beside Zhao Yifan covered their mouths andughed. "So that''s the truth! Pardon me then. Lu Chen used to tell me that he had a crush on the girlfriend of a poor dude. I thought his girlfriend wasn''t pretty, but when I visited your school that day, I saw that she was very beautiful! So, I didn¡¯t think you were him." Ning Fanughed. "How is it possible?¡± Xu Nanughed, "Fan, when you told Lu Chen to ask the beautiful Yang Xia out, he spent only half an hour talking via WeChat to get Yang Xia to agree!" At this moment, Chen Hao''s roommate, Yang Hui and the others, were already full of anger. Even Ma Xiaonan was angry. "What do you mean? Is being rich a big deal?" Yang Hui stood up and shouted. Ning Fan blinked. "My friend, you guys are right. It''s not about money. In this day and age, whoever can give a woman the love she should have deserves to have her! Woman don¡¯t need men to take care of them. Let this beauty Zhao Yifan decide whether I am right?" Zhao Yifan had been paying attention to Ning Fan''s temperament. Ning Fan handled things calmly and was really trying to be an even-handed leader. In addition, she was starting to like Chen Hao even less now. What a pussy, he can¡¯t defend himself at all. She nodded slightly. She had met Yang Xia before. She could see why Yang Xia would break up with him. A guy like Chen Hao was simply not good enough. "Do you think the poor doesn''t deserve happiness? Do you think that because you are rich, you can do whatever you want?" Chen Hao, who had been enduring their taunts, stood up at once. His eyes were red and he clenched his fists. He looked at Ning Fan angrily. They always teased and mocked at him. At first, Chen Hao put up with it because today was Xiao Nan''s birthday. But now, Chen Hao couldn''t stand it anymore. Zhao Yifan looked at Chen Hao in disgust, not only because he was poor, but now because he was acting like a little bitch. He couldn''t even take a fewments or stand-up for himself like a man. Blondie was enraged. "Chen Hao, what are you doing? How dare you talk in such a rude manner to Ning Fan?" In order to look good in front of Ning Fan, Blondie picked up a bottle and threw it at Chen Hao. This was not the first time he had tried to beat up Chen Hao. Sometimes he had seeded, sometimes he had failed. "Chen Hao, watch out!" Yang Hui''s eyes were sharp and he quickly pulled Chen Hao aside. The bottle made a curve and flew passed Chen Hao¡¯s nose, barely missed it. Therge Fengshui fish aquarium outside the door shattered! Water gushed out. There were shards of ss everywhere and the fish was flopping on the ground. Blondie froze for a moment and his face turned pale. Even Xu Nan''s and Ning Fan''s eyes twitched. "Holy shit! This Fengshui fish is really expensive!" Xu Nan stared at Blondie. There was a trance of fear in his voice. Blondie gulped. "Come on guys. I didn''t expect that Chen Hao could dodge it. I didn''t do it on purpose!" Blondie stared fiercely at Chen Hao after saying that. "That''s right, we can''t me Blondie. Chen Hao, what''s the big deal with being hit? We would have The girls were terrified and they all med Chen Hao for starting it! "What happened?" At this time, the waiter who heard the noise came in with a group of security guards. They all saw the broken Fengshui fish aquarium in the VIP room. The head of the security guard stared at everyone in the room. "F*cking hell, who did this?" The guard was pissed. This Fengshui fish was from Mysia. It had symbolic importance or something but most importantly it was very expensive! But now the tank was now broken and this all happened when he was on duty. The security guards were dumbfounded. "Mr. Biao, it is a misunderstanding! I will go and talk to Mr. Feihong." Ning Fan took out a cigarette and gave it to the security leader. Zhang Biao reached an arm out to block his way. "Well, Young Master Ning, I don''t care if it is a misunderstanding. You know the price of this Fengshui fish aquarium. I can''t help you with this matter. I have to contact the manager immediately!" Zhang Biao immediately talked on his walkie talkie. Shortly, a man in his thirties arrived with a group of men. He was the manager of Imperial KTV, Li Feihong. "Mr. Feihong!" Ning Fan smiled. Li Feihong looked at the mess. He immediately frowned. "Fan, what are you doing? You made a mess in my ce." "Of course not, Mr. Feihong! One of my brothers identally smashed the Fengshui aquarium!" Ning Fan said politely. Although Mr. Feihong was just a manager of the KTV, everyone in Jin Ling Street knew him. He was once General Manager Li''s assistant and was now one of his most trusted employees. Blondie gulped and took a step forward. ¡°Mr. Feihong, I was very angry just now so I threw a bottle at him. The bottle smashed the Fengshui fish aquarium because he dodged it!" Blondie point at Chen Hao angrily. Feihong nced at Blondie. In a sh, he kicked Blondie, picked up a bottle and hit his head. "F*ck you, you little maggot! You want to see angry!" "Ah!" All the girls were terrified. "What should we do about this? This Fengshui fish aquarium hold this room together. The im against damage is double the cost, which would be 80,000 dors. But now, in honor of Fan''s father, you just have topensate for the original price, which is 40,000 dors! You are lucky I am in a forgiving mood!" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. After he said that, Li Feihong walked out with his hands in his pockets. He left two bodyguards to keep people from leaving the party. "What should I do? Nan, Fan, I only have 1,000 with me!" Blondie stood up, holding his bloodied head. Xu Nan counted the notes in his wallet. "1 only have 20,00 with me! Damn, that''s my pocket money for next month." Ma Xiaonan was very pissed off. Her birthday had just been ruined. There was no reason for her to stay out of it. She volunteered. "I still have around 5,000!" Everyone in the room gathered their money. Even Zhao Yifan decided to cough up more than 5,000. But even all together, they could barely scrape together 100,000. "You¡¯ll try to think of a solution. I¡¯ll go to Mr. Feihong and ask if he can let it slide!" Ning Fan said, and then he slipped out. Let it slide, ya right. Feihong wasn¡¯t the type of guys to let things slide when it came to money. The people in the room were in screwed. "I shouldn''t have celebrated my birthday! I will just call my dad!" Ma Xiaonan said anxiously. Zhao Yifan stopped her. "Xiaonan, why should you be the one to fork out the money? The one who started this mess should bear the main responsibility!" She then fixed her gaze at Chen Hao. "Chen Hao, Blondie wouldn''t have hit you if it wasn''t because of your rude attitude toward Ning Fan. Where is your temper now?" Zhao Yifan said coldly. "That''s right!" All the girls nodded in agreement. Ma Xiaonan said anxiously, "I beg all of you, please don''t me it on Chen Hao. All of you don''t have to pay for it. It''s my birthday, so I will pay for it" Ma Xiaonan started calling her family. Yang Hui and his dorm mates really wanted to help, but their living expenses were only around 1,000 per month. They just could afford to help. Chen Hao was extremely angry now, especially at Ning Fan, Xu Nan and Blondie. However, Chen Hao couldn''t bear to see Ma Xiaonan like this. Although this shop belonged to him, Li Feihong didn''t know him yet. It was inconvenient for Chen Hao to call Li Zhenguo in the room. He said softly, "I''m going to the washroom!" Chen Hao left after that. After Chen Hao left, Zhao Yifan and the other girls'' eyes widened. "Oh my god. I had never seen such a coward in my life. He is even worse than a girl. He just ran away like that?" Zhao Yifan said. As for Chen Hao, he had reached the washroom. The security guard didn''t care to stop him because he was just one guy. Inside the washroom, he called Li Zhenguo, ¡°Mr. Zhenguo." "Young Master Chen! Just call me Zhenguo, how can I help you?" "I''m in trouble here.¡± Chapter 9 Someone Else Helped Us Chapter 9 Someone Else Helped Us Chen Hao retold the incident. Li Zhenguo promised to settle the incident immediately. "Zhenguo, do you know a person named Ning Fan? His family runs a restaurant on the Ji Ling Street." Zhenguo described a nice, hard-working family that worked its way from the bottom. Ning Fan wasn''t a bad person at all. Chen Hao frowned, why couldn¡¯t Ning Fan just be a jerk. After all, Ning Fan was the one who purposely persuaded Lu Chen and Xu Nan to snatch Yang Xia away from him, and he did y him like a fool. Chen Hao wondered what would happen if Ning Fan and his gang became poor one day. ¡°His dad is one of my employees. That restaurant business is actually under your property. Did he offend you?" Li Zhenguo asked seriously. After a while, Li Zhenguo said, ¡°I know what to do, Mr. Chen. Leave it to me!" Chen Hao remained silent. He didn''t know what Li Zhenguo had nned. Chen Hao actually had no idea what he wanted as well. This was the first time Chen Hao could use his connections to help others. Although he hated them, he wanted to work things out for the others. Chen Hao didn''t want to think about it. After he pocketed his phone, he left the washroom and made his way back to the room. However, something unthinkable was about to happen in the room. Just a few moments ago, Zhao Yifan and Ma Xiaonan were calling their friends and families for help. Then, Li Feihong dashed into the room. He bowed to everyone in the room, looking extremely apologetic. There was no need for them topensate for the damages of the Fengshui fish aquarium anymore. Everyone was dumbfounded, until they saw Ning Fan enter the room. "Ning Fan, have you settled the incident?" The girls asked with full of admiration. Ning Fan was puzzled. He was actually trying to get the hell out of there, but when he saw Li Feihong rushing into the room, he followed him. He had no idea that the problem had solved itself! Ning Fan took the opportunity. He smiled and said, ¡°Mr. Feihong and my dad are friends after all!" "Wow, Ning Fan you are the best!" "Ning Fan, you''re so coll!" The bevy of beauties had all be his fans, cheering for him. Zhao Yifan now could only look at Ning Fan. She was totally smitten by him. He was one of the business owners on Jin Ling Street. Surely, he received a lot of respect and so would she if she dated him. Suddenly, the door of the room opened and Chen Hao entered. The girls stared at Chen Hao and scoffed, "This coward is back once the problem has been solved!" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Disgust was written all over Zhao Yifan''s face. "Xiaonan, I wonder why you are friends with this person." Zhao Yifan sneered coldly. Only then did Chen Hao realize that Li Zhenguo was so efficient that he had already settled everything. Of course it had been settled quickly. It was his property. However, looking at the gaze from the crowd, Chen Hao quickly understood that they thought it was Ning Fan who solved it. Should he exin what happened to them? Chen Hao didn''t think there was a need for him to do so. He had initially thought that Zhao Yifan was quite good looking, but now, he had no interest in her at all. This time, he only wanted to help Ma Xiaonan. Also, who would believe his story! Chen Hao didn''t want to put himself in another humiliating situation. ¡°Let¡¯s forget it. Since everything is square, let''s go for another round! My treat!" Ning Fan still didn''t know what happened and continued to brag, pping his hands. He looked at Zhao Yifan and the pretty girls beside her. ¡°Sure! Let''s go!" The girls agreed happily, and Zhao Yifan smiled shyly. Compared to Xu Nan, she thought Ning Fan was not only handsome, but also mature and reliable. She also learned how important is was to have connections and a solidwork. Ning Fan had an amazingwork! But Ma Xiaonan''s face darkened. "Another round? It''s almost four o''clock in the afternoon. Let''s go home." After the incident, her mood waspletely ruined. Yang Hui nodded. "Yes. We are heading home too. Enjoy yourselves." Chen Hao¡¯s friends left the party a little disappointed. They thought they could make friends with the pretty girls in Zhao Yifan''s dormitory on Ma Xiaonan''s birthday party. Maybe even get a little action. But now, it was obvious that Chen Hao and his dorm mates'' presence were unwanted. "Well, fine. The ce that we''re going to next isn''t a ce that you can simply enter. I can''t bring too many of you at once. It''s better that you don''t want to join!" Ning Fan said coldly while ncing at Yang Hui and Chen Hao. "Where are we going to? Are we going to your family''s hotel?" the girls raised their heads and asked. Ning Fan wagged his finger. "No. We''re going to th Hot Spring Vi. Have you heard of this ce before?" "The Hot Spring Vi?" Zhao Yifan blinked her eyes in disbelief. ¡°Do you mean the most popr ce on Jin Lin Street. The spa where only the richest can go?" Zhao Yifan was from a decently wealthy family as well and her father was able to bring her there once through a connection with a wealthy rtive. She never thought that Ning Fan had such privilege that he could go whenever he wanted! "Ladies, I''m going to bring my car. Wait for me at the entrance!" Ning Fan waved to them and left. Zhao Yifan''s beauty really took Ning Fan¡¯s breath away. Ning Fan couldn¡¯t wait to get with this girl. He knew that his money would be more than enough to get her into bed. "Xiaonan, don''t be such a killjoy. Come and join us. It''s your birthday after all. Didn''t you say that you have always wanted to go to the Hot Spring Vi? This is a golden opportunity!" Zhao Yifan clung to Ma Xiaonan''s arm. "That''s right. We have never been to the Hot Spring Vi too. Let''s go together. We got this chance because of you! Don''t worry, Ning Fan is with us. He will look after us no matter what happens on this street. You saw for yourself?" Xu Nan said with a hopeful smile. But Ma Xiaonan frowned. "I don''t understand. Zhao Yifan, don''t you feel strange about what happened just now?" Zhao Yifan frowned slightly. "What do you mean? Are you talking about the fish thing?" "Yes!" Ma Xiaonan continued in disbelief. "Li Feihong was so angry and dismissive in the beginning. He didn''t show any courtesy to Ning Fan, and even Ning Fan was terrified by Li Feihong." "But ten minutester, Li Feihong''s attitude toward us changed thoroughly! He even came to apologize and bow to us. Don''t you find it strange?" After hearing to Ma Xiaonan, everyone in the room remained silent. Yang Hui said, "You''re right. I find it strange as well. Li Feihong is not a man to be trifled with. Ning Fan''s father and him are on the same level financially. It''s impossible that he would change his attitude in such a short amount of time. He even bowed to us." "Do you mean someone else helped us?" Ma Xiaonan¡¯s argument really started to make sense. Zhao Yifan felt that it was weird as well. But, she quickly forgot everything when she say Ning Fan again. Chapter 10 Yang Xias Phone Call Chapter 10 Yang Xia''s Phone Call "Well, who could it have been? On Jin Ling Street, other than Fan Ning, who else has that kind of clout?¡± At this moment, Xu Nanughed coldly. Yang Hui tried to focus on his breathing. ¡°I did not say that it was me. I merely stated my doubts. Just now Xiaonan, Yifan and Yifan''s dorm mates all made phone calls to their friends. My point is probably someone helped us and we did not thank him." "You''ve got a point there!" Zhao Yifan''s facial expression looked grim. "How about this? Everybody check the calls that you have made. Let''s see whether it was Ning Fan or one of your friends who helped us out." Zhao Yifan had just called Ning Fan by his name for the first time. Everybody started phoning their friends to confirm. Chen Hao stood aside and watched them awkwardly. Should he tell them the truth? While Chen Hao was still lost in his thoughts, everybody had finished confirming with their friends. The fact was that none of their friends actually had the ability to solve this problem. "Well, I was right. Ning Fan is just that awesome I guess!" Xu Nan coldly red at Yang Hui and the others. "Okay, let''s not y the guessing game anymore. Ning Fan is waiting for us at the entrance. Let''s not make him wait too long!" Zhao Yifan shot a nce at Yang Hui and Chen Hao. Her heart was filled with contempt. How could these two losers second guess a great guy like Ning Fan! They were just jealous because they could neverpare. Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls left for the entrance. Sure enough, Ning Fan and his friends were waiting outside the entrance with a fLit of luxury cars. "Xiaonan, are youing or not?" Zhao Yifan took Ma Xiaonan''s hands. "Yifan, I really don''t want to go. I''ll go next time when I have the chance!" Ma Xiaonan was a straightforward person. She had always felt that Ning Fan was a phony and didn¡¯t like him at all. When Zhao Yifan saw that her friend could not be persuaded, she said goodbye and went off with the other girls. After they left, Chen Hao gave Ma Xiaonan and Yang Hui a nce. Both of them looked very disappointed. He could see that they really wanted to visit Hot Spring Vi. However, because of him, Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan were ridiculed by Ning Fan and left out of the fun. Chen Hao quietly noted this down. He smiled to himself, he couldn¡¯t wait to see the look on their faces when he brought them there. Half an hourter, Ning Fan and the rest of the fLit stopped in front of Hot Spring Vi''s entrance. One after another, Zhao Yifan and her friends got out of the car. "Stop there, you guys are not allowed to go in!" To their surprise, before they could even step foot in the lobby, they were stopped by a few well-trained security guards in ck suits. Ning Fan said, "Mr. Li, I am Ning Fan! Don''t you recognize me? My dad is Ning Qiang! I am bringing my friends over to hang out." Ning Fan had one hand in his pocket and was smiling at the guards. He looked like a kid who had it all and knew it. "Ha, ha! Young Master Ning, you are such a free spirit. You still can only think about having fun, even after what happened to your family? Putting aside the fact that you were not allowed to enter the Vi today, I am afraid that from now on, you wouldn¡¯t came back want toe back even if we let you!" Some of the security guards sniggered. They were looking at the pretentious Ning Fan with disdain and sympathy for the humiliation that he was about to go through. Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls were looking at each other in confusion. This was the first time Ning Fan was looked down upon by other people. And these people were security guards! Xu Nan''s chimed in, "This is Ning Fan, also known as Young Master Ning! Ming Huang Restaurant on Ji Ling Street. It belongs to his family!" "Ha, ha, I know. However, we should say that it belonged to his family. Young Master Ning, I am afraid you don''t know this yet, do you? From today onwards, Ming Huang Restaurant is not owned by your family anymore. In addition, all the other businesses owned by your family have dered bankruptcy. Your father Ning Qiang should have his hands full now dealing with the cops, the people from the Better Business Bureau and the banks!" The guards crossed their arms whileughing as they told him the story. Ning Fan gulped. ¡°No way, you guys are lying to me!" As he was speaking, he took out his mobile phone hurriedly and dialed his father''s number. Only after dialing a few times did his father pick up. Listening to the tumultuous sounds in the background, Ning Fan asked his father what had happened. After a brief moment, Ning Fan''s face turned pale. It waspletely drained of color. "No way! No way! How could this be?" After he finished listening to his father''s words, Ning Fan''s mobile phone dropped to the ground. All the stores owned by his family were closed down because his father had vited thew. All their bank ounts were frozen too! In other words, Ning Fan had lost everything within an hour! Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls obviously did not expect this to happen. They were standing at the side awkwardly. "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Ning Fan sat down on the ground. Both his eyes looked empty. So now, he was a poor dude? When Zhao Yifan saw how Ning Fan handled the situation, she felt really disappointed. She thought that she had found somebody qualified to be her boyfriend, but now it seemed she had judged him wrong. "Xu Nan, isn''t your father acquainted with the people in the upper management? Could you contact him and see whether he can figure something out for my family?" Ning Fan gulped again. He was so shocked when he heard the bad news that hepletely ran out of ideas. "Damn it, what can my family do for you?!" Xu Nan waved his hands. "Fan, I think you should hurry home to see you father. No wonder my father said that your father would end up in jail one day if he continued running his businesses like that." "Yifan, what should we do?" All the girls had no idea. They were looking forward to experiencing the Vi, but who could have guesses that this would happen. "Since we can''t help much by staying here, I think we should go back!" After saying that, Zhao Yifan and others immediately grabbed some cabs and left. Li Zhenguo watched everything happen from the penthouse in his vi. After that, he made a call. "CEO Chen, Young Master Chen only said to take back the Ning family''s investments in Jin Ling Street. However now, you have bankrupted his family and ruined their reputation forever. They will never be able to hold their heads high again after this!" "Ha, ha, my younger brother is just too soft-hearted. This is not the way we handle things in the Chen family. If he goes too easy on our enemies, I will be worried when he takes over the Chen family. Li Zhenguo, I give you a new assignment. Please train my younger brother to be a member of the Chen family! Make him into the man we need!" Li Zhenguo nodded his head respectfully. It was Chen Xiao who had arranged everything. The power that the Chen family exerted was hard to imagine. It was literally impossible for one person to spend even a small fraction of the Chen family fortune in a lifetime, even if that person spent it without any forethought or care. The Chen family was one of the richest families in the world, and it was time Chen Hao learned how to wield that power correctly. He could no longer be the down-to-earth humble guy that he was. At this moment, Chen Hao, Ma Xiaonan and the rest of the gang had returned to their respective dormitories. Yang Hui and other were a little unhappy and decided to spend the rest of the night at the inte cafe. They initially wanted to ask Chen Hao toe along to y with them. Chen Hao liked this game, but he never had the money to go to an inte cafe as he could barely pay for his meals. He only scrolled through the inte forums and read some articles. Plus, Chen Hao currently felt tired and wanted to rest. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. However, the moment hey down on his bed, his mobile phone rang. The moment he saw the number, Chen Hao felt perplexed. Yang Xia was calling him! Chen Hao immediately answered the call. "Chen Hao, what took you so long? What were you doing?" Chen Hao could hear Yang Xia''s anger through the phone. When he heard her voice, Chen Hao thought of their past. They used to call each other like this all the time. "What do you want?" Chen Hao said coldly. "I have something to tell you. I will be waiting for you at the campus''keside. You''d better be here in 10 minutes. If you don¡¯t get here by then, I will jump into theke and drown myself!" Chapter 11 How Did You Suddenly Become Rich? Chapter 11 How Did You Suddenly Be Rich? Chen Hao understood she was just looking for an excuse to see him. In reality, Chen Hao did not want to see Yang Xia anymore. His heart waspletely crushed by the girl whom he had loved with all his heart. Although it would be a lie to say that he did not have any feelings for her anymore. After listening to Yang Xia''s voice, Chen Hao''s heart softened and he agreed to meet her. He got up and went to his drawer to find the precious picture which he had kept so carefully. It was a photo of them by the campus''keside. Yang Xia was holding his arms affectionately and he was smiling sweetly. Looking at their rtionship now, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart. At this moment, Chen Hao noticed the 100,000 that he had withdrawn from the bank this morning. The reason he withdrew the money was so that he could embark on a reckless spending spree. However, looking back now, he felt that his actions were too childish. He did not need the cash. He could get away with anything just by using the cards his sister. Give him! It wasn''t wise to put so much money in their dormitory. If the dorm leader and his roommates saw it, how would he exin himself? These past few years, he had gotten to know many sincere friends due to his poverty. Now, if he were to tell them the truth, Chen Hao felt that he would lose something! I will go and meet Yang Xia and deposit the cash into the bank on my way back. Sigh! Chen Hao couldn''t find a bag as he was in a hurry, so he took out a ck-colored stic bag from his dormitory and put the money inside. Then, he took Yang Xia''s photo and headed downstairs. At the campus''keside. "Hao, over here!" As soon as she spotted Chen Hao, Yang Xia stood on her tiptoes and waved at him, just like when they were in a rtionship back then. In fact, the person who felt the most unhappy today was Yang Xia. Because Chen Hao bought a bag that was worth 360.00 without blinking this morning! 360,000! How long would an ordinary person need to work in order to afford that? Especially since he became so rich after she dumped him recently, she felt unhappy just thinking about it. Hence, she used the photo as an excuse to see Chen Hao. "What''s the matter?" His memories came rushing back to him at the sight of the familiar ce. He felt sad but when he saw Yang Xia, his heart softened. Yang Xia looked at the ck colored rubbish bag that Chen Hao was holding. She instantly said, "At least bring something for me when youe to see me!" Yang Xia was a little disappointed. She was still fantasizing a scene whereby Chen Hao would stand in front of her with a 360,000 bag and begged her toe back to him. However, to her dismay, he was only nning to take out the trash. Chen Hao took out the photo. "Yang Xia, I will return this photo to you. From today onward, it is over between us!" Chen Hao initially wanted to keep the photo as a memento. But now, there was no need for it anymore! On the other hand, Yang Xia was anxious. She stomped her feet fiercely and pounded his chest. "You idiot! You are really an idiot! Humph, did you really think that I called you down here to take a photo from you?" Chen Hao pretended to look surprised. "Then why did you call me?" "Well, how should I put this. Hao, did you honestly think that something was going on between me and Lu Chen?" Yang Xia questioned. "You fool, all these were actually just a test for you!" "A test?" Chen Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. You ran into the woods and he groped you until you were moaning. In the end, this was all just a test for me? Chen Hao did not wish to say anything anymore. ¡°Do whatever you want, I have already returned the photo to you. From this day forward, we do not owe each other anymore. Farewell!" Chen Hao shook his head and turned to leave. "Y-yo-you, Chen Hao, you better stop there. If you do not stop, I will jump into theke!" Yang Xia did not expect that Chen Hao, who used to listen to her and put her feelings first, had be so indifferent. She made up her mind resolutely and stepped closer to theke. Chen Hao knew she was going to lie to him again. Initially, he couldn''t care less and wanted to walk away. However, he saw Yang Xia''s figure leaning forward and it looked like she was about to fall into theke. Chen Hao''s eyelids twitched violently. He hurried over and hugged Yang Xia. Tears started to fill her eyes. "Don''t stop me. If you don''t believe me, then just let me die. Let me die!" Chen Hao took a deep breath. Honestly, he did not believe in Yang Xia anymore. Especially after he heard the entire story from Ning Fan today. However, Yang Xia wanted to drown herself and this time it was for real. Chen Hao was speechless but he was touched at the same time. He immediately said, "Okay, okay. I believe you!" Only then did Yang Xia''s tears turn into a smile."I knew it. Hao, you still love me. The reason I jumped was not because of the bag you purchased today or your financial status. I just wanted to prove that my love for you was real!" "From the beginning till the end, 1 have never been a gold digger, or else we wouldn''t have been together for so long!" Chen Hao did not say anything. At this moment, Yang Xia looked at Chen Hao suspiciously. "By the way Hao, I am very curious. How did you suddenly be so rich? You even bought a 360,000 bag." Yang Xia could not help but ask. Chen Hao knew that she would definitely ask this question. But now, Chen Hao was not the same person who would tell Yang Xia everything anymore. At the same time, Chen Hao wanted to give her a test. "Oh, it''s like this. I saved a little girl who was hit by a car on the street a few days ago, and unexpectedly, the little girl''s family was very wealthy. However, because I was rushing on that day, they gave me a one-time shopping card! They said it was very valuable and expressed their gratitude!" Yang Xia rolled her eyes. "So in other words, that VIP shopping card can only be used once? Then it cannot be used anymore?" Chen Hao nodded his head. "Th-the-the... What about that bag? If you were to sell the bag, it would certainly be worth a lot of money!"N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Yang Xia was slightly disappointed. She really thought that Chen Hao had be rich overnight. But the 360,000 bag was still sitting there. Chen Hao said, ¡°I already gave the bag to Ma Xiaonan as a birthday present!" "What?!!" Yang Xia was shocked. "You gave away a 360,000 bag to another person? Do you mean to say that you have literally nothing right now?" Chen Hao nodded his head. "Xia, I did not expect you to have so little interest in money. Besides, you truly do love me. Xia, why don¡¯t we." Chen Hao reached out to hold her hand. p! "Fuck off, get away from me! Who would fall in love with a poor loser like you!" After she found out what she wanted to know, Yang Xia gave Chen Hao a p in the face."Fuck, I wasted so much time and I nearly jumped into theke! Idiot, you stupid idiot!" Yang Xia shouted at him in disdain. Ha, ha...¡± Seeing Yang Xia act this way, Chen Haopletely gave up on her. So, this was her true personality, "Xia, I am utterly disappointed in you..." His eyes started to swim in tears. They had some good times together. "I don''t care whether a poor loser like you is disappointed or not. Don''t waste my time. Get lost you fucking bastard. People like you should go pick up the trash!" In order to release her anger, Yang Xia grabbed the rubbish bag he was holding. She wanted to fling it at his face. As a result of her actions, 100.000 worth of cash was flung out. All the banknotes were red in color! "Ah? What''s this..." Yang Xia''s eyes grew wide as she stared in disbelief at the scene before her... Chapter 12 The Bag is Real Chapter 12 The Bag is Real Yang Xia saw the money that was spilled all over the floor. She was instantly dumbfounded. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that there was a stack of cash in the rubbish bag he was carrying. "Well..." Yang Xia''s face was burning, "Chen Hao, where did you get this money from?" Chen Hao didn''t answer her. He merely squatted down and gathered the 100,000 into his bag. "Why do you care? Just like you said, I am not good enough for you!" After uttering those words, Chen Hao turned on his heels and left. Yang Xia was feeling very impatient. She had indeed broken up with Chen Hao because he was poor. Even if he used his one-time shopping card to buy a bag as a gift for someone else, Yang Xia could still turn a blind eye to it although she felt that it was such a shame. She still wouldn''t regret her decision. But now, Chen Hao actually had 100,000 in cash... Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. "Chen Hao, you better stop right there. You better give me an exnation right now or else I will scream." Yang Xia was stamping her feet anxiously. She needed to make sure of it. She did not know why but she was particrly afraid that Chen Hao would turn out to be a rich guy. She was especially afraid! Scream? Haha! Chen Hao smiled bitterly. "Do what you want then." "Somebody help! Rape, rape!" Yang Xia actually screamed at the top of her lungs. It waste, but a lot of couples could still be seen strolling in the campus gardens. When they heard themotion, all of them looked to the direction of theke. Damn it! Chen Hao cursed under his breath. He did not expect Yang Xia to call him a rapist. "Yang Xia, what do you want? I surrender, ok?" Chen Hao immediately walked back to her to shut her up. "Chen Hao, tell me about the 100,000. You must tell me!" Yang Xia frowned. At this moment, Chen Hao had given up all hope on this woman. He didn''t want to have anything to do with her at all. So why don''t he continue to make up a lie to make her give uppletely? "Oh, I am going to return this 100,000. Remember the girl I had rescued previously? Other than giving me that super valuable card, they also gave me 10,000. However, they identally transferred too much money to me. They actually gave me 100,000. So, I am nning to give them the extra 90,000 back." Chen Hao answered with a sincere-looking face. Yang Xia finally understood. Number one, Chen Hao didn''t really know how to tell a lie. Number two, if Chen Hao was really the person that she guessed he was, for example, a person who became rich overnight, then why would he still be dressed like that? He did not have the look of a nouveau riche at all... Besides, after listening to Chen Hao''s exnation, everything seemed very logical. "I understand. In other words, other than the 10,000, you do not have anything else!" Yang Xia took a deep breath and finally rxed. "If there''s nothing else, then l''d better get going first!" After uttering those words, Chen Hao took his 100,000 and left. "Hmph, a poor loser will always be a poor loser. It''s still better to go back to Chen!" Yang Xia looked at Chen Hao''s retreating figure with disdain and left angrily... After Chen Hao finished depositing his money, he still felt disappointed. Yang Xia had changed. Her change was so drastic that he could not recognize her anymore. Yang Xia, Yang Xia... If you really didn''t care about that bag or the money I had, even if you continued pretending, I would have agreed to your demands. Currently, not only do I have this 100,000, I actually have countless of 1 00,000 under my name! After sighing, Chen Hao prepared to go back. At this moment, his mobile phone rang. It was Ma Xiaonan. "Chen Hao, do you want to eat some cake? If you want to, wait at the stairs by the girl''s dormitory, I will deliver it to you." Ma Xiaonan had always been concerned about him. Put it this way, Ma Xiaonan and Chen Hao were deskmates. In addition to that, Ma Xiaonan felt happy and rxed when interacting with Chen Hao. She could even confide in him. He was different from the other guys, whose ultimate purpose for approaching a girl was to get her into bed with them. She felt disgusted just thinking about it. "Cake? I''m sorry but not this time..." Chen Hao smiled as he uttered those words. He really cherished his friendship with his one and only female friend. "Ok, ok. No matter what happened today, Chen Hao, we will always be best friends. I really like the bag you bought for me today!" Both of them chatted a bit longer. Finally, Ma Xiaonan hung up the call. At this moment, a bunch of friends were at Ma Xiaonan''s dormitory. "Xiaonan, why do you treat him so well?" "Yifan, I know you look down upon Chen Hao, but believe me, he''s not the kind of person you think he is!" Zhao Yifan was there too. The person who had the foulest mood today was none other than Zhao Yifan. She initially wanted to find a suitable guy to get to know each other. In the end, she ended up meeting Chen Hao, who was practically a loser, then she met the jerk, Ning Fan, whose sess was just a sh in the pan. She recalled the embarrassing situation at the Vi whereby she was stopped by security and eventually denied entry. Oh my god, it''s so infuriating. She felt that her bad luck started ever since she met Chen Hao! Hence, at that moment, she really looked down on Chen Hao. "And this bag. Even if I ignored the fact that he bought a counterfeit, I still think that Chen Hao is a disgusting person!" Zhao Yifan looked at Ma Xiaonan, who was still holding the counterfeit bag as if it was her treasured item. She was so angry that she grabbed the bag and flung it into the trash can nearby. Ma Xiaonan wanted to pick it up. "Xiaonan, happy birthday!" The dormitory doors burst open and some of her best sisters from the next dormitory came in with a big cake. "Oh my god, Siyu! You guys are here!" Ma Xiaonan quickly greeted them. Yang Xia, who was Siyu''s roommate, also arrived with Siyu. When she saw Yang Xia, Ma Xiaonan smiled and greeted her although she barely talked to her anymore because of Chen Hao. "Hey! Xiaonan, did you receive too many gifts? Why don''t you want this anymore? How could you throw away such a nice looking bag into the trash can? Oh my god, it''s actually a Herm¨¨s bag!" Han Siyu jokingly said. Han Siyu was an absolutely stunningdy. Zhao Yifan and Han Siyu were said to be the two most beautiful girls in the entire dormitory. When Zhao Yifan saw Han Siyu, whose disposition was on par with her, she couldn''t help but feel "Hmph, so what if it''s a Herm¨¨s bag? It''s just a counterfeit item that was bought by a poor loser. I feel disgusted just by looking at it!" Zhao Yifan frowned. Yang Xia was standing beside Han Siyu. When she saw the bag, her expression changed instantly. She naturally recognized the bag as the one that Chen Hao bought for 360,000 in the morning! She felt queasy when she saw the bag. "Counterfeit?" Han Siyu picked up the bag and looked at it carefully. A momentter, she suddenly looked surprised and quickly turned the bag inside out! "This... doesn''t look like a counterfeit item, it''s the real deal!" "The real deal?" All the girls in the entire room were suddenly filled with surprise. "How could this be? How could that poor loser Chen Hao afford to buy this?" "Hmph, this bag is the ssic edition, and the market price is at least 300,000!" ZhaoYifan refused to back down. She did not know why, but the moment Han Siyu said it was the real deal, ZhaoYifan''s heart suddenly skipped a beat. "This is the real deal. I''ve seen and touched the real one before. It''s hard for the counterfeit manufacturers to replicate the feel of the bag. The Hermes luxury brand shop in front of our school''s entrance has this model. I happen to have the manager''s number. If you guys still don''t believe me, we can ask her to help us look it up and see whether the collector''s edition was sold or not." Han Siyu held the bag like it was a precious item. After listening to her words, all the girls'' mouths were wide open. With those words, Han Siyu was about to give the manager a call. "You don''t have to call anymore..." At this moment, Yang Xia stood up frowning. To be honest, if the situation didn''t call for it, she would not have told them the truth because Chen Hao actually gave away the most expensive thing he bought, which was worth 360,000, to someone else other than her! But since Han Siyu wanted to give them a call, then she would tell them directly. "This bag is the real deal. This morning when Chen Hao bought the bag, Lu Chen and I.. were present! He actually paid 360,000 on the spot!" "What!" Bam! The entire dormitory instantly froze! Chapter 13 Mocked Chapter 13 Mocked Yang Xia told the girls in the room what she had encountered this morning. "So it''s actually true! A 360,000 bag! Oh my god!" "That poor b*stard Chen Hao had always relied on the subsidy issued by our department to help cover his living expenses. I did not expect him to get a shopping card like that. How lucky could he be?!" "Damn, if Chen Hao gave me this bag, i would be willing to sleep with him for one night!" "One night only? If Chen Hao gave me this 360,000 bag, I would be willing to have sex with him for an entire month!" "Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!" Although everybody knew that Chen Hao''s card was only a single-use card, the 360,000 Hermes bag was still a major p to everybody''s faces. Even if the bag was resold, it was still worth at least 200,000 to 300,000. These were all money! At this moment, Zhao Yifan''s face looked wretched . She never imagined that that loser Chen Hao would buy a 360,000 bag for Xiaonan as a birthday gift. She recalled how she had treated him with contempt today. Upon seeing the admiration that the girls bestowed upon this Hermes bag now, Zhao Yifan felt that she had been tricked. She got angry instead. "Haha, so what if the bag is really worth 360,000! Did Chen Hao not know that a VIP shopping card like this could be resold? Unfortunately he had already used it. This can only mean that he is an idiot! Hmph!" Zhao Yifan scoffed. Yang Xia also nodded her head. "That''s right, there is something really wrong with Chen Hao''s brain!" "Haha,e on, stop being jealous already. No matter what, this 360,000 luxury handbag was given by Chen Hao as a gift to Xiaonan. Xiaonan, you have to treat us! It''s 360,000!¡± Han Siyuughed heartily. She had a pleasant disposition. In addition to that, she was not just a pretty face, but an influencer. Hence, she knew all about the various aspects of society. "Yes! Xiaonan must treat us!" "Xiaonan, can I borrow your bag for one day? Just one day!" A crowd of girls started begging her. Early on, Ma Xiaonan was already in a state of shock. Borrow you? The frst thought that came to her mind was that Chen Hao did not know the origins of the card and was tricked by the promoter. After all, Chen Hao had never bought luxury items before. "No way, I need to return this bag to Chen Hao. If he sells it, he could get at least 200,000 in cash. It''s enough for him to finish his college life without any worries!" Ma Xiaonan''s thoughts were different from the others. She was very worried about Chen Hao''s problems in life. "No way!" "No way!" She never expected that Yang Xia and Zhao Yifan would answer in unison. Yang Xia thought, If Ma Xiaonan gave it back to Chen Hao, then wouldn''t Chen Hao have 200,000 to 300,000 in cash? Yang Xia was not willing to see this kind of situation. After she dumped Chen Hao, he should continue on with his life miserably. How could he be allowed to live in such a carefree manner? On the other hand, Zhao Yifan simply hated Chen Hao . "Xiaonan, why? This bag was his gift to you, so why would you want to give it back to that poor loser?" Zhao Yifan frowned. Han Siyu smiled. "We should not waste such an expensive Hermes bag! I am going to start a livestream first. I am going to show off this bag to my viewers! Xiaonan, do you mind?" Ma Xiaonan smiled and shook her head. Although she agreed to it, she had already made up her mind to return the bag to Chen Hao tomorrow. And she was going to apany him back to the luxury store to return it. Even if they could not return it for the original price, 100,000 was still better than nothing. Click! Click! All the girls in the dormitory had already started scrambling amongst themselves to take a picture with the bag. Finally, the bag fell into Han Siyu''s hands. She started her mobile phone''s SameCity Live Streaming app. "Hello my precious babies, we haven''t seen each other for a day and I''ve missed you all already. In Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. addition to that, I present to you a midnight fan service. See all these gorgeous youngdies! Muacks!" Han Siyu smiled cutely. In that instant, the number of viewers rose to 3,000 people. Han Siyu had been live streaming for a year. Because it was the SameCity Live Streaming app, her main fan base consisted mostly of college students. Her fans were mostly students from Jin Ling College, and to a lesser degree, the public. The moment Han Siyu appeared, the discussion section on the livestream heated up in an instant. "Damn! It really is a fan service, there''s so many pretty looking girls. 1 like the tall girl with the red hair!" "Wow, who''s that tall girl with the red hair, please give me your WeChat number!" "Oh my god, Siyu is actually acquainted with the gorgeous Yifan from the Broadcasting Department?" "Presenting Zhao Yifan, from the Broadcasting Department! You guys can thank meter!" Zhao Yifan, who had been putting on a frosty look all this while, saw the viewers moring for her on the screen. Her mood, which had turned sour when she wasparing herself to Han Siyu, improved a lot in that instant. She even nodded as a sign of acknowledgment to the fans on screen. "Hmph, my precious babies want to look at ther beauties. Don''t you guys want to look at me anymore? I am so sad!" Han Siyu rubbed her eyes and made an aggrieved expression. She even sent a pop-up window to her fan group. "No way, you are all my wives. We love all of you equally!" At this moment, the live streaming disy showed: Lu Chen, the richest Young Master is online! Xu Nan, the richest Young Master is online! ... A number of her ssmates joined the livestream after seeing Han Siyu''s pop-up prompts. Even Chen Hao''s dorm mates and Yang Hui also joined the live broadcast. Han Siyu was a stunningdy. When she held a live broadcasting session, she was very good at flirting and she looked extremely sexy. She was every man''s dream lover. But her standards were also surprisingly high. Lu Chen and Xu Nan from the ss next door had pursued her before, but to nobody''s surprise, they had failed. This was also the reason why Lu Chen and Xu Nan were in Han Siyu''s fan group. They had spent a huge amount of money on her. "My babies, you have all fallen for another person. I am going to cry soon. Don''t you want to give me some presents? I have introduced so many pretty girls to all of you at one go!" Han Siyu said with an aggrieved face. Yang Hui, who had a crush on Han Siyu, gave her ten virtual roses in that instant. Each of the virtual roses was worth one buck. "Wow, thank you Yang Hui. Muacks!" Yang Hui: You are so beautiful. Oh by the way, isn''t the bag that you are holding a gift from Chen Hao to Xiaonan? Yang Hui''sment appeared on-screen. Immediately, a heated discussion ensued. Damn, I did not realize that it was actually a Hermes bag. It''s even a Collector''s Edition model and it''s worth approximately 300,000. I''ll be damned, do you have a sugar daddy? Oh! My heart! Xu Nan: Haha, this must be what Lu Chen was telling me about. Chen Hao came into possession of a one-time shopping card and he stupidly bought a bag for Xiaonan using that. Haha, I nearlyughed myself to death! Netizen: Oh my god, he''s really stupid! Obviously, Yang Xia told Lu Chen about this and Lu Chen in turn, told Xu Nan and the rest of them. They started talking about Chen Hao. Lu Chen: Haha, that idiot iritated me a lot today. He even made Xia quarrel with me for the entire day. I have wasted my entire night! Yang Hui saw all of them ridiculing Chen Hao. In order to change the topic, he continuously sent her ten virtual roses. Xu Nan: Damn it, Yang Hui. Why would you show off your stupid presents here? Aren''t you embarrassed to give her roses only? The moment he finished typing.. Xu Nan: Give her a rocket! One virtual rocket was worth 100. Xu Nan sent a rocket! Another pause. Xu Nan sent a rocket! There were five continuous swipes Han Siyu was on a roll. Even Yang Xia and Zhao Yifan felt excited. How easy was it to earn money? Lu Chen did not want to lose to them too. He immediately swiped ten times. 1,000. He wanted to swipe away all the unlucky aura he got from Chen Hao. A hint of proudness shed across Yang Xia''s face. This was her husband! Xu Nan: Haha, Yang Hui, including Chen Hao and your dorm mates, you guys are the ultimate six poor losers. Come! Do you want topete with me in this live broadcast? I will take on all six of you to see who can swipe the most! Yang Hui was so angered by their taunts. At the same time, in Chen Hao''s dormitory.. "Achoo!" Chen Hao gave a huge sneeze and woke from his sleep. Only then did he notice the stream of messagesing in from his ss discussion group chat. It was very noisy. When he opened it, he realized that the discussion topic revolved around his purchase of the bag. They were even saying something about Han Siyu''s live streaming. Even the pretty counselor Lin Shengnan also called him a moron. What was going on? Chen Hao was dumbfounded. He was just an innocent bystander, yet he was caught in the crossfire. When he saw the ss discussions, Chen Hao thought that it definitely had something to do with Han Siyu''s live streaming. Had he be the topic of the livestream? Thinking about this, Chen Hao immediately downloaded the SameCity Live Streaming app. Then, he found Han Siyu''s live streaming chat room. Coincidentally, he saw Xu Nan, Lu Chen and the rest of the gang taunting and ridiculing his roommates who had stood up for him! The ultimate six poor losers huh? Chen Hao smiled coldly. Chapter 14 To Splurge Chapter 14 To Splurge Just when Lu Chen and Xu Nan were tooting their own horns during the live broadcast, Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence¡­ Ten continuous swipes! Each of the virtual international cruise ships was worth 1,000! ¡°Wow!!!¡± Han Siyu was so surprised that she covered her mouth. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, muacks! Mr. Ordinary Guy, I love you!¡± Han Siyu was over the moon. All the girls in the dormitory looked at the screen. The moment this guy made a move, he had spent 10,000 in one shot. He was so rich. Zhao Yifan and Yang Xia were stunned. They knew that one could earn a lot of money by doing live streams. Now, they have witnessed it with their own eyes. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, are you from our school? Which department are you in?¡± At this moment, a lot of beautiful girls came up and asked. At the same time, Lu Chen and Xu Nan who were in the live streaming chat room werenguishing. They did have 10,000. In fact each of them had approximately 20,000 to 30,000 worth of living expenses per month. However, to swipe 10,000 in one go, they presumed that this rich Ordinary Guy must have twice as much money as them and he total stole their limelight. What a waste! Han Siyu was so excited. "Mr. Ordinary Guy, I also want to know which department are you from?¡± Ordinary Guy: I am from the Department of Chinese Language! ¡°Ah? The Department of Chinese Language?!¡± Isn¡¯t that our department?! ¡°Other than Lu Chen and Xu Nan, who else is rich in our department? ¡°I don''t know!¡± All the beautiful girls looked surprised. If that was true, then they would have to dress up from now onward. What if this Ordinary Guy were to show interest in them? ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, which grade are you in? Do you have a girlfriend? If you don''t have any, I can rmend some for you!¡± Yang Xia couldn¡¯t help herself but chat with him. First of all, she was a stunningdy. She had slender, long legs and an inte celebrity face. She had actually thought about earning money through live streaming so that she could meet a rich guy to secure her future. She was really curious. Ordinary Guy: No girlfriend! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence¡­ Beep! Beep! Beep! Five continuous swipes. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. ¡°Ah Ah Ah !!!¡± Han Siyu nearly went mad. All the people in the dorm sucked in a cold breath of air. Han Siyu was beyond excited. "Mr. Ordinary Guy, if you do not have a girlfriend, I can help you find one. All of us are in the same department. See the beautiful girls behind me? Of course that includes me as well. Which one do you prefer?¡± Han Siyu was actually regretting her decision to start a live stream in front of so many pretty girls. To share a boyfriend was an awkward thing to do. To share a rich guy made Han Siyu feel ufortable. Besides, she nced at Ordinary Guy¡¯s username. He was already a VIP member in a blink of an eye. This meant that he had topped up at least 100,000! Only then could he earn the right to have that icon. If it was convenient now, Han Siyu would have given this Ordinary Guy a one-to-one private live streaming session with her! The only thing was, there were just too many beautiful girls. Just let it be then, the interaction would still be fun. ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, tell us, which one of us do you prefer to be your girlfriend?" Siyu teased. The one behind you, does she have a boyfriend? Ordinary Guy typed. The girl behind Si Yu was obviously Yang Xia. "Ah! I-I-I¡­why don''t you guess then, Mr. Ordinary Guy¡± Yang Xia was so surprised that she gulped. However, she knew that Lu Chen might still be in the live streaming chat room, hence she did not make her intentions too obvious Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence¡­ Another 5 continuous swipes. At the same time, due to the 20 continuous swipes of the virtual international cruise ship, the management of the live streaming tform immediately noticed the poprity of this live streaming channel. Hence, they promoted it on their homepage Thus, more and more students from the same college joined in the discussion. Her poprity rose to 5,000 viewers. Ordinary Guy started typing: I won''t guess, tell me directly! Yang Xia took a deep breath. She was blushing furiously. ¡°I-¡± Just when she wanted to bite the bullet and say no, Han Siyu jealously replied, "Hmph, she has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is Lu Chen. He was the one sending rockets Just now!" Yang Xia blushed. She thought in her heart, Han Siyu, what''s so great about you. Wait till I start my live streaming channel, and let''s see who''s more popr then. Humph! Ordinary Guy, Haha, don''t you feel embarrassed to be sending rockets only? Oh right, the bag you have on you. It looks expensive, 360,000 right? Did somebody give it to you as a gift? That rich guy! Han Siyu waved the Hermes bag in her hands Mr. Ordinary Guy, do you also think the bag looks nice? Han Siyu started to show off the bag next. At this moment, Zhao Yifan, who was standing wordlessly beside Han Siyu all this while, said, ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, you are mistaken. The person who gave her this bag is not a rich person, he¡¯s just a loser from your Chinese Language Department!¡± The moment she heard that someone would actually mistake Chen Hao to be a rich person, Zhao Yifan couldn¡¯t help but to quickly exin the situation. Ordinary Guy: Loser? What if you found out that the person who gave her the bag wasn''t a loser and was actually a really rich guy? What would you do? You should know not to judge a book by its cover! Zhao Yifan said, "Mr. Ordinary Guy, you are very mature in your speech. However, that guy is practically aplete loser! As for this bag, it''s a very long story!¡± She did not know why. But just chatting with this rich Ordinary Guy through the screen, Zhao Yifan had an intuition that this Ordinary Guy was a very matured person. Although he was a rich guy, he was definitely not a spoiled second generation heir. If it was possible, Zhao Yifan would really like to get to know him. Ordinary Guy sent an international cruise ship! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence filled the room Another 5 continuous swipes. The crowd was shocked ¡°Mr. Ordinary Guy, lets exchange our WeChat numbers. I will give you a live streaming session everyday ok? The excited Han Siyu quickly said to the screen. After waiting for a long time, Ordinary Guy still had not replied. She took a look again and saw that he was already offline! Han Siyu sighed dispiritedly, but the 20, 000 was enough to make Han Siyu excited already enough to make Han Siyu excited already. At the same time, quite a number of girls in the dormitory had already downloaded this live streaming app. They wanted to chat privately with the rich Ordinary Guy from Han Siyu''s live streaming chat room. Including Yang Xia¡­ In the male dormitory, Chen Hao overheard Xu Nan, who was next door, constantly yelling things like ¡®don¡¯t think that you are so great just because you have money or something along those lines. He threw his mobile phone awayzily. The corners of his mouth carried a bitter smile. Indeed, as long as you had money, everything you said was right! As long as you didn''t have money, whatever you did was considered shallow. Haha¡­ The Ordinary Guy just now was none other than Chen Hao. Seeing Lu Chen and Xu Nan tooting their own horns and mocking his roommates in the live stream, Chen Hao had topped up 150,000 at one go. Sure enough, he managed to shut them both up. Listening to Xu Nan who was still cursing next door, he figured that Xu Nan''s pride might have taken a beating today¡­ Besides, he was intentionally testing Yang Xia just now Unexpectedly, Yang Xia did not disappoint him. She had turned into a vain and materialistic girl Chen Hao, please give up on her already! As he was very tired, Chen Hao continued sleeping. The next day, His roommate, Yang Hui and the rest of the gang, only came back to the dorm to sleep at 5 in the morning after climbing over the campus walls. As they were having sses today, they quickly made their way to the lecture hall after they finished their breakfast. ¡°Chen Hao, stop right there!" As soon as he walked out of the cafeteria, he was stopped by the harsh voice of a girl. Chapter 15 The Thought of Buying a Car Chapter 15 The Thought of Buying a Car Chen Hao heard the voice and turned around. He saw a beautiful, tall girl with skin as white as snow standing in front of him. She was dressed in skinny denim cropped pants, a t-shirt and a pair of high heels. She was crossing her arms and looking at Chen Hao disdainfully. Chen Hao, you really are something, aren¡¯t you? You actually bought a 300,000 luxury item while clinging on to the student subsidies provided by our department. Let me tell you, based on this matter alone, you can forget all about the student subsidies this year¡± she coldly stated. ¡°Jiang Weiwei, the shopping card was given to Chen Hao by those people as a way of thanking him for saving their daughter. What reasons do you have to cancel Chen Hao¡¯s student subsidy? Don''t think you are so high and mighty just because you are the President of the student council.¡± Dorm leader, Yang Hui, couldn''t help but utter those words when he saw the girl with the ice-cold aura in front of him. ¡°This is none of your business. The applications for Chen Hao''s student subsidy are provided by our student council every year. That was because he was an honest person. But now, he actually bought a 300,000 bag. Currently, everybody in the entire department even the entire campus-knows that there is a big idiot in our department!¡± ¡°He tainted our department''s reputation! His student subsidies can be canceled based on this offense alone!¡± Jiang Weiwei looked at Chen Hao in disgust. Obviously, after Han Siyu''s live streamingst night, nearly everyone in the campus knew that he had bought the bag. In addition to that, she was President the student council. And she happened to be one of the few female Presidents in the entire campus. She came from well-to-do family and was a very sociable person. She was quite close to most of the rich and powerful students in her department, and the entire campus. She was even close to the lecturers from different departments. She had the ssic ¡®big sister personality.¡¯ Hence, she looked down upon losers like Chen Hao who did not have the money nor the power. However, Chen Hao had a special characteristic. That was, he was quite an obedient person. In the past, Jiang Weiwei often used the student subsidy as leverage to order Chen Hao around, while the rest of the poor students slogged away like ves to provide freebor to Jiang Weiwei. This was the reason why Yang Hui did not see eye-to-eye with Jiang Weiwei ¡°Hmph, Chen Hao, what should we do about at this?¡± Jiang Weiwei crossed her arms and looked at him haughtily. Chen Hao frowned. To be honest, he did not need the student subsidies anymore. But the bottom line was, although Jiang Weiwei looked down upon him and bullied him, the student subsidies he received in the past did indeede from her. Chen Hao asked, "What do you want?¡± ¡°Hmph, what do I want? If you want to continue receiving the student subsidies, you have to do one more thing for me. As for smearing our department''s reputation, I can put that behind us!¡± Jiang Weiwei was talking about the incident whereby Chen Hao was called an idiot for buying that bag. When Jiang Weiwei recalled it. She felt so much hatred. Firstly, she hated how this poor loser got so lucky that he was given that VIP shopping card. Secondly, she hated the fact that Chen Hao actually gave away a 360,000 bag as a birthday gift to another person. A freaking 360,000! If he gave it to her, then wouldn¡¯t that ego? However, Chen Hao did not even try to please her. Then fine, let''s see how you live without your student subsidies. Idiot! Jiang Weiwei scolded in her heart. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± On the other hand, Chen Hao looked indifferent. Simple, Next week our department will be organizing a huge event. The venue needs tidying up, so you can go and sweep the entire venue. Then, I can continue to help you apply for your student subsidies! I have already gotten a permit for you to leave the ss, so you don''t have to go for your morning lectures today. Don¡¯t say I didn''t take care of you!¡± Jiang Weiwei threw the permit at Chen Hao for him to bring along. Then, she gave him a slight nce, turned on her heels and walked away. ¡°Damn it, this woman really knows how to push people around!¡± Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Yang Hui scolded. His roommate Li Rui was also angered by her. ¡°Hao, don''t be scared you don''t have to go there. Do you know how big the venue is? How could she let you clean up that ce? Let¡¯s go to ss!¡± He gave Chen Hao a pat on his shoulders. "But if he doesn''t go, what will happen to his student subsidies?¡± His friends started to get worried. Finally, Yang Hui pped his hands and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, let us all go to the venue and help Hao with the clean up!" Alright, that is a good idea!¡± His roommates nodded their heads. There was a warm feeling in Chen Hao''s heart. It was true. This was the reason why Chen Hao still remained optimistic although he had been humiliated so many times in college for the past three years. Because of his poverty, he had gotten to know some friends who were like brothers to him. Brothers who sincerely cared about him. However, how could he allow them to bear the punishment with him? To be honest, Chen Hao really wanted to tell them that he was actually a rich second generation heir. However, Chen Hao did not know whether his friendship with them wouldst if he were to tell them about this. Because in his heart, this friendship was the real treasure! "It''s ok guys, I will go by myself. It''s not the first time I''ve cleaned up a big venue. You are not as skilled as I am so you might cause me more trouble instead!¡± After thinking about it, Chen Hao decided keeps his identity a secret temporarily. So he answered their suggestions in a joking manner. After uttering those words, he walked toward the venue. ¡°Chen Hao, why are youte? Who do you think you are? Do you think that you are so high and mighty just because you bought that bag?" The moment Chen Hao stepped into the venue, he heard Jiang Weiwei¡¯s cold voice, which was full of contempt. ¡°Hahaha!¡± The guys and girls who were rehearsing there broke into peals ofughter when they heard the remark. Because there was an event next week, the department¡¯s performance team, led by Jiang Weiwei, was rehearsing. "Don''t put it that way. After all, how could wepare ourselves to the person who spent 360,000 to buy a bag!¡± "You''re right, you better be careful of what you say, President, Chen Hao will use his money to p you in the face until you start crying in the future!¡± A group of girls snickered while looking in the direction of Chen Hao. On the other hand, the guys continued to mock Chen Hao in a roundabout way. Their eyes were full of ridicule. They were actually jealous of Chen Hao''s luck. If they were to receive 360,000, then they would have been able to buy the bag and get the president, Jiang Weiwei, into their beds. Chen Hao ignored them and did not wish say anything. At that moment, just when he was preparing to sweep up the mess they left behind, a tall guy walked over and pushed Chen Hao away roughly." Scram, don''t block my way. Did you really think you were a f*cking rich person? What an idiot!¡± Chen Hao nearly fell down. His name was Wang Yang Chen Hao obviously knew him. He was the Vice President of the student council and the leader of the basketball team. His family was in the trading business and he was super rich. He had ridiculed Chen Hao many times in the past. ¡°Wang Yang, Why are youte?¡± Jiang Weiwei initially looked cold. But after seeing Wang Yang, she didn''t look displeased. This was because Jiang Weiwei really liked Wang Yang¡¯s rugged style. He was tall and handsome and good at basketball. Apart from that, his family was rich. It wasn''t hard for him to get a girl''s attention. At the same time, the girls who were in the performing arts group looked at Wang Yang with desire. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t mention it already. This morning I went to modify my car!¡± Wang Yang unscrewed the cap of the mineral water and took a sip. ¡°Car? You bought a car?" Some of the girls asked in surprise. ¡°Haha, it''s just an A6 Audi model. I only use it for practice!¡± Wang Yangughed heartily. ¡°Wow!!!¡± All the girls were envious Even Jiang Weiwei, who had high expectations, was slightly moved. "Is it a domestic car or an imported one? Actually, it did not matter whether it was domestic or imported, it was already very awesome. ¡°It¡¯s an important car. Thanks to my father¡¯s friend, it was sold at approximately 100,000less than the original price! Haha! " Wang Yang smiled lightly. At this moment, even Jiang Weiwei looked impressed. Chen Hao was sweeping the floor. When he heard he had bought a car, he couldn¡¯t help but listen to the conversation. In fact, it had always been a small dream of Chen Hao to buy a car. It did not matter what type of car it was, as long as it was a car! Why was it a dream? Because before this, Chen Hao''s dreams of buying a car could only remain a dream. Hence, he was curiously listening to their conversation. Of course, he was not paying attention to what he was doing at that moment. He did not know that he was actually sweeping the broom under a girl¡¯s skirt. She happened to be sitting below the rostrum. ¡°Ah!¡± Until the girl gave a piercing scream. Chapter 16 Attending the Gathering Chapter 16 Attending the Gathering Chen Hao identally swept the girl''s feet. She was wearing a pair of white-colored shoes and she also had fair legs. She was paying attention to Wang Yang, who was talking about his car. She was paying full attention to him. She did not expect the dirty looking broom to sweep across her shoes, thereby smearing ayer of dust upon them. In that instant, she couldn''t help but scream in surprise. Her screams obviously attracted the attention of Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei. "Tongxin, what''s wrong?" Jiang Weiwei hurriedly came over and asked with concern. Wang Yang dashed over instantly. "It''s nothing!" Su Tongxin pushed her hair back and crouched down slightly. She took out a wet napkin and wanted to clean theyer of dust off her shoes. But unexpectedly, the more she cleaned, the dirtier it got. Su Tongxin was extremely fastidious. She couldn''t help but frown. "Chen Hao, did you dirty her shoes?" Jiang Weiwei immediately red at him. She looked angry. On the other hand, Wang Yang''s face was full of rage. "F*ck you! You poor b*stard, do you know how much Tongxin''s shoes cost? Even if I sold you off, you wouldn''t be able to pay her back!" After finishing his sentence, he grabbed hold of Chen Hao''s cor. "It''s OK. It''s not his fault!" When Su Tongxin saw Wang Yang about to start a fight, she quickly stood up to put a stop to it. Actually, Su Tongxin had her eyes on Chen Hao for quite some time. She noticed that he was different from the rest of the people. She could see that he was really quite poor. That was why he was bossed around by Wang Yang and the rest of the gang. However, Su Tongxin did not see the slightest look of inferiority in his eyes due to his poverty, instead he looked indifferent. Especially when she saw Chen Hao''s honest-looking face, she couldn''t be angry at him even if she wanted to. Hence, when Su Tongxin saw that Chen Hao was going to get beaten up, she quickly stood up to stop the fight. "Tongxin, don''t worry, the least I can do is force this poor b*stard to buy you another pair of shoes!" Wang Yang said viciously. Su Tongxin wasn''t from the Chinese Language Department, but the Broadcasting Department next door. However, she and Jiang Weiwei were childhood friends and they were very close. They came here specifically to hang out today. Wang Yang liked Jiang Weiwei. However, he liked Jiang Weiwei''s best friend Su Tongxin even more by "It''s fine, it''s really fine. I will go back to my dormitory to change into a new one!" Su Tongxin quickly said. She even nodded her head in Chen Hao''s direction. "Count yourself lucky!" Wang Yang was satisfied with his performance today in front of the two pretty girls today. At that moment, he looked at Su Tongxin who was preparing to leave. "Oh right, Tongxin. After you have finished changing your shoes, let''s go out for a gathering. Everybody must be so tired from practicing these few days. It''s my treat today at Charming Orchard!" "Wow! Charming Orchard? I heard that the fruit sds and the steaks there are very delicious, but it is super expensive!" "Yang, we would like to go too!" When they heard of the Charming Orchard, the group of girls started cheering in that instant. "Ok!" Wang Yang pped his hands. Jiang Weiwei took Su Tongxin''s arms and smiled. "Tongxin, we will be waiting for you outside your dormitory!" Su Tongxin obviously did not want to go. However, Wang Yang nearly got into a fight with Chen Hao just now because of her and it seemed like everybody wanted to go to Charming Orchard. If she were to reject them now, then wouldn''t she ruin everybody''s fun? Su Tongxin nodded her head. "Ok, I will go get the car! I will be waiting for all of you!" Wang Yang''s scheme was a sess. After giving Chen Hao a nce, he then walked out happily. At this moment, Jiang Weiwei red at Chen Hao. "Chen Hao, what are you looking at? Why? Did you think you coulde along? Let me tell you this, we are not finished with your student subsidy issue yet. You better stay here and clean up this venue properly. If it''s not cleaned after I return, hehe, we will see about that!" What the hell! Chen Hao listened to Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei taking turns ridiculing him. Actually, he was very pissed. However, if he were to lose his temper now, other than getting a vicious beating from Wang Yang, he wouldn''t get anything in the end. He wasn''t a weakling. It was just that it would be an unwise decision to lose his temper if he knew he was going to get beaten up for it. "Lets go, Tongxin. Let''s go and try out Wang Yang''s A6!" After giving Chen Hao a disdainful look, Jiang Weiwei took Su Tongxin''s arm and left. The rest of the students also went out one after another. One car would definitely not be enough to ft them all. However, Chen Hao did not know how they were going to get there. While cleaning the mess they made, Chen Hao thought to himself. Was it time to get a car for himself? He continued to ponder it. It was nearly noon by the time he was finished with his cleaning duties. At this moment, Chen Hao''s mobile phone rang. It was a call from his dorm leader, Yang Hui. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. "Chen, are you done yet?" Chen Hao nodded his head. "Yes, I''m done!" "Damn it, who does Jiang Weiwei think she is? If she dares to break your agreement and revoke your student subsidies this time, after discussing among ourselves, we have decided that we will bring up this matter to the Department Head!" A warm feeling spread across his heart."No worries dorm leader!" "Oh that''s right, Chen, if you have nothing to do now, let''s go for a roommates gathering together this afternoon!" Yang Hui changed the topic so suddenly. Especially thest few words were almost said in a whisper. There was even a slight hint of embarrassment in his tone. Chen Hao, who knew Yang Hui very well, immediately noticed it This guy had always spoken his mind, but why was he speaking this way now? "Is somebody else going too?" Chen Hao couldn''t help but smile bitterly and ask. "Bingo! Chen, do you remember Zhao Yifan''s roommate, Xu Xia? She was sitting next to Zhao Yifan at Ma Xiaonan''s birthday party yesterday." All the pretty girls from Zhao Yifan''s dormitory came to the birthday party yesterday. Chen Hao did have an inkling of who Xu Xia was. She had short hair and had a cute, innocent look. However, she was the same as Zhao Yifan. She did give him a few disdainful looks yesterday. But she did not speak much and was quite a steady person. "I know her! Why? Did you ask her out?" Chen Hao was surprised. "Hehe, this morning when I went back to ss, I happened to bump into her along the way. She lost her mobile phone in the cafeteria, so I went back to help her look for it. Luckily I am close with the boss of the cafeteria there. I managed to gain ess to the security cameras and found it sessfully!" "This is destiny. Actually when I saw her yesterday, I was interested in her. Then,I plucked up my courage to ask her out for lunch at noon today. She immediately agreed!" Yang Hui said excitedly. To be honest, after listening to his words, Chen Hao was very happy for Yang Hui. But because of the situation with Zhao Yifan, Chen Hao really did not want to stay with Zhao Yifan and her group of friends. It was mainly because he could not stand their disdainful looks! "Then that''s great. Why don''t you all go then? I don''t want to be the third wheel in your rtionship. I wish you all the best!" Chen Hao smiled and said. "Damn it, go to hell. Chen, where is your sense of loyalty? We are all going. Besides, Ma Xiaonan is sincerely wants to fix the both of you up. If you seize this opportunity, you can turn your situation around!" Yang Hui was also thinking about Chen Hao. "A really important person?" Chen Hao thought about it for a while and he immediately understood. "Damn, don''t tell me Zhao Yifan is going too?" Chapter 17 Overseas Returnees Chapter 17 Overseas Returnees Chen Hao didn''t know how to feel about Zhao Yifan. Although she was gorgeous and had an excellent disposition, Chen Hao did not like her ''despise the poor and curry favor with the rich'' behavior. He wasn''t sure what Xiao Nan was thinking about. Why did she want to bring the both of them together so badly? Hence, in order to avoid further embarrassment, he really did not want to go. However, he could not hold his own against Yang Hui''s advice. He did not want to ruin his friends'' fun, hence he agreed to go. The Bright Star Western Restaurant was chosen as the location of the gathering. Yang Hui obviously could not afford to go to the type of hotel that Xu Nan and Lu Chen went to. They were rich second generation heirs, but he wasn''t. A total of six people from the girl''s dormitory including Zhao Yifan and Xu Xia came to the gathering. In addition to Ma Xiaonan,six people from Chen Hao''s dormitory came too. However, Chen Hao did not go together with Yang Hui as he needed to make a trip back to the dormitory. "In my opinion, the 12 of us including Xiao Nan and the 5 people from Yang Hui''s dormitory is enough for this gathering! Zhao Yifan sat on her seat swaying her legs while drinking some juice. The meaning behind her words were evident. She had quite a good impression of Yang Hui. He was rtively mature in handling things. The only thing was,Yang Hui''s parents were only ordinary high school teachers. Based on this, he did not meet Zhao Yifan''s criteria. "Yes,you are right,Chen Hao shouldn''t be allowed toe! The moment I see him, I will think about that incident! It''s so damn humorous!" Xu Xia added jokingly. "Ok,ok! Yifan and Xu Xia, don''t hate Chen Hao that much.He really is a good person. You will understand this after spending some time with him for a while!" Ma Xiaonan said with a smile. "Yes, Chen is a great person..." Yang Hui and the rest of them said, one after another. Haha,a good person? If he really was a good person,then he wouldn''t let the 12 of us sit here and wait for him. What do you say, XuXia?" Zhao Yifan coldly harrumphed. "Hey,Chen Hao''s here!" Ma Xiaonan stood up and waved at Chen Hao who was standing at the entrance toe over. "I apologize for my tardiness.I had to go back to the dorm to make a phone call to settle some things!"N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Chen Hao smiled. Ma Xiaonan was sitting opposite Zhao Yifan. In that instant, her gaze shifted and she stood up and dragged Chen Hao to her seat. "Chen Hao, sit here!" Could Ma Xiaonan be more obvious? However, he did not whine about it and sat down. "Lin Jiao, let''s change our seats!" Unexpectedly, the moment Chen Hao took his seat, Zhao Yifan pulled a long face and said that to her best friend. "Yifan, I don''t want to exchange my seats with you. I don''t want to sit near this poor loser! Everybody would think he was my boyfriend!" "What? Wouldn''t you be d if Chen Hao was your boyfriend? Look at him, he was willing to part with a 300,000 bag! Haha!" "You''re right, Jiao, if you were to meet a guy like Chen Hao, you should just go to him. Hahaha!" Lin Jiao looked gorgeous. She was very skilled in her makeup. Besides, she was covered from head to toe in branded apparels and essories. Naturally, she looked down upon Chen Hao. When she heard her roommates teasing her, she was nearly speechless.¡°Oh, since you think he is so great, you might as well let him be your boyfriend then!" ¡°Ah! we surrender, we surrender!" Upon hearing this, the girls did not dare to joke around anymore. Obviously, they were very sensitive to the words Chen Hao and boyfriend, as if they would be ridiculed if Chen Hao was their boyfriend. But they could only bear with it. Although it was beyond reason, it was still within Chen Hao''s expectations that Zhao Yifan would refuse to sit with him. "Xiaonan, I will sit at the corner here! Come over here quickly and take a seat!" Chen Hao couldn''t help but smile bitterly in his heart. He felt like a pestilence in the girls'' eyes. Other second generation heirs with 30,000 to 50,000 in their hands could toot their own horns in front of beautiful girls and catch the girls'' attention. He had countless assets under his name, but why could he not get any girl''s attention? Chen Hao had thought about using his own money to toot his own horn, but he did not know how! Sigh! With that, Chen Hao stood aside. Ma Xiaonan initially wanted to advise him because she really wanted to mend their rtionship. Both of them were her best friends! "Yifan?" At this moment, a voice rang beside Chen Hao''s table. A tall, handsome guy dressed in branded casual wear stood in front of the crowd. He looked at Zhao Yifan. His gaze was filled with surprise and joy. "Are you Zhuang Qiang?" Zhao Yifan also looked surprised. She straightened her hair and stood up with a smile on her face. "Yes I am. Yifan, I haven''t seen you in two years. You are getting more beautiful by the day. I nearly did not recognize you at all!" Zhuang Qiang smiled. "By the way Zhuang Qiang, I thought your father sent you abroad for your studies. When did you return?" "I came back the day before yesterday. I happened to ask someone for your contact number. That''s right, have you guys settled the issue at the Imperial KTV? It was Lei, our ssmate from high school, who called and told me about this. He said you met with some trouble there!" Zhuang Qiang smiled and said. Zhao Yifan was so surprised that she covered her mouth. Even Zhao Yifan''s roommates suddenly looked as if they understood something, "Ah! Zhuang Qiang, was it you? Did you help us out yesterday?" Zhao Yifan looked surprised and happy at the same time. Yesterday, Zhuang Qiang really wanted to help and he did indeed ask his father to give Li Feihong a call. But Li Feihong did not pick it up. So at that moment, he did not think too much when he heard Zhao Yifan ask him whether he helped them out or not. He said, "Yes, yes. I did ask my father to ask around!" Zhao Yifan was thrilled. At the same time, there was a sh of pride across her face. Women would always be the most prideful creatures on Earth! So everything''s settled. All their doubts were clear. It turned out the person who made the call that day wasn''t Ning Fan nor was it their friends. The only person who was able to make Li Feihong act that way was none other than her childhood friend, Zhuang Qiang. In the past, Zhuang Qiang''s father and her father wererades in arms. Hence, her rtionship with Zhuang Qiang was very good. However, Zhuang Qiang''s family business grew too big and thus he was sent abroad to study. Since then, they did not contact each other anymore. She did not expect him to give everyone such a big surprise upon his return. In addition to that, if he was able to make Li Feihong act that way, could you imagine the might of Zhuang Qiang''s family?! "Zhuang Qiang, no matter what, thank you very much!" Zhao Yifan was beside herself with joy. Seeing Zhao Yifan act that way, Chen Hao was incredulous. Damn, I''ve just gotten rid of Ning Fan, and Zhuang Qianges along to steal my victory? Chen Hao really wanted to tell them that it was him! It was him who made that call to save them! But other than allowing Zhao Yifan and the rest of them to treat him with even more disdain, he would not get anything from it. But most importantly, Chen Hao did not want to associate himself too much with Zhao Yifan. At that moment, they could do whatever they wanted! "Yes, I came to attend one of the gatherings organized by our ssmates from high school. It''s just upstairs. Yifan, I will go up to give them a toast ande downstairster. You can introduce me to your friendster!" With that, Zhuang Qiang gave the girls a slight bow. He looked like a gentleman. Then he slowly left, leaving behind a group of dumbstruck girls. Wow! He''s so cool! "Yifan, Yifan, do tell, what''s the background of your childhood friend?" "Does he have a girlfriend?" Lin Jiao and the rest of the group were very curious. Zhao Yifan proudly said, "This Zhuang Qiang is an amazing guy. Did you guys know about the Prosperous Food Group? That belongs to his family. It is one of the biggest names in the food industry!" "Damn, it is among the top 100 listedpanies among the businesses in Jin Ling. Their power is truly formidable!" Lin Jiao and the rest of them said in awe. "Didn''t the news report that there was something wrong with Prosperous Group''s capital flow a few days ago?" Chen Hao was listening quietly in the corner, but after listening to them chattering away, he wanted to join in the conversation too. But the moment he said those words, the entire atmosphere froze. Especially Zhao Yifan. She was ring at him sternly. "What do you mean? Isn''t it normal to have capital flow problems? Why are you ridiculing him?" "Humph, some people are like that. They are so envious of others that they would take advantage of other people''s weaknesses. It''s really disgusting!'' Lin Jiao said condescendingly. In that instant, Chen Hao''s words nearly caused a war to break out... "Yifan!" A student was walking behind Zhuang Qiang and both of them came downstairs. Chapter 18 Another Visit to Hot Spring Villa Chapter 18 Another Visit to Hot Spring Vi "Yifan, you don''t look happy. What happened?" Zhuang Qiang walked down the staircase with two hands in his pockets. Looking at Zhao Yifan, who had be prettierpared to when theyst met two years ago, Zhuang Qiang could feel his heart thumping. "Nothing. L just felt disgusted!" Zhao Yifan red at Chen Hao and said coldly. "That''s right. Who does he think he is? He always talks nonsense!" Lin Jiao and the other pretty girls seemed to hate him equally as much. They red at Chen Hao. Zhuang Qiang also took a nce at Chen Hao. When he entered the room, he noticed that there was bad blood between Zhao Yifan and Chen Hao. Looking at the situation, both of them seemed to have quarreled. Don''t tell me that this guy is flirting with Zhao Yifan? Hehe, how could that be possible? Zhuang Qiang quickly scanned Chen Hao''s clothing; it only totaled up to about 150. It was impossible that something was going on between Yifan and him. ¡°If it''s a misunderstanding, we can talk it out! All of you are ssmates, so you should get along well with each other!" Zhuang Qiang smiled brightly and his gaze stopped at Chen Hao. "Hey friend, my name is Zhuang Qiang. I''m Zhao Yifan''s childhood friend. Nice to meet you!" After saying that, Zhuang Qiang reached out his hand and wanted to shake hands with him. A golden Rolex watch could be spotted on his wrist as his sleeves hiked up. This golden watch was not an ordinary item. It cost at least 100,000. All the girls couldn''t stop staring at the watch. Chen Hao looked at Zhuang Qiang, doubting his sincerity. As he was about to reach his hand out, he heard Zhuang Qiang ask in surprise, "Wow, my friend. What is the brand of the shirt that you''re wearing? I just came back from abroad, but I''ve never seen this design before!" Zhuang Qiang stared at Chen Hao''s shirt, pretending to be surprised. His lips lifted sightly full of mockery. He could sense that Zhao Yifan was not friendly to this guy. Why don''t y along and mock him for a while. "Hehe, its just an ordinary brand!" Chen Hao knew that he did it purposely with bad intention. But Chen Hao didn''t bother about him. To be frank, Chen Hao was thinking of using his sister''s VIP shopping card to buy some clothes, but the minimum expense was 30000! It made him feel profligate. "Oh I see, ordinary brand huh? Li Hao, have you seen this brand before? You''ve always been in the country all this while!" Zhuang Qiang looked at his mate from high school. The guy named Li Hao had blond hair and he was quite fair. Actually, as soon as he came here, his sight was wandering on the pretty girls whose beauty stood out among the others, like Zhao Yifan, Xu Xia and Lin Jiao. Listening to Zhuang Qiang, Li Hao understood his intention behind the words. Li Hao shook his head andughed. "I really have never seen this brand before. Let me look it up on Google." Two of them asked seriously, as if they were really learning something new. In fact, they were actually mocking Chen Hao. Chen Hao didn''t feel embarrassed because of that. However, Zhao Yifan and the girls vented their spleen while looking at Chen Hao. "Humph! Looking down on others? You deserve the scoffing now, poor loser!" Lin Jiaoughed softly. Being a student who studied abroad, his tactful mockery is much better than a direct insult. He is so coo! Zhao Yifan thought. Obviously, Zhuang Qiang targeted Chen Hao because of her. He did not make his insults obvious, unlike Xu Nan. Zhuang Qiang mocked him in a way that people couldn''t tell it. This made Zhao Yifan happy because she thought that Zhuang Qiang was wise and because of what he had done for her. "Zhuang Qiang, let me introduce my friends to you!" After ncing at Chen Hao, Zhao Yifan immediately introduced her friends to Zhuang Qiang. Zhuang Qiang introduced his high school friend, Li Hao, to them too. Li Hao''s family ran a training institute. It was a famous training franchisingpany on Jin Ling Commercial Street. Everyone took their seats. Zhuang Qiang sat opposite of Zhao Yifan, naturally. As for Li Hao, he seemed to take an interest in Xu Xia and Lin Jiao. His sight was fixed on the two of them. While conversing, he kept showing off with the help of Zhuang Qiang. The main characters today were actually Yang Hui and Xu Xia. No one ever thought that Zhao Yifan''s childhood friend would appear and join them, snatching away his opportunity. Yang Hui felt unhappy about it. Of course Chen Hao had noticed that. Seeing his friend''s opportunity being snatched away, Chen Hao couldn''t stay out of business. Fortunately, he already had a n. Before this, Chen Hao had called Li Zhenguo in his dorm, telling him to arrange a visit to the Hot Spring Vi with his friends today. This was to support Yang Hui, so that he could gain more admiration from Xu Xia! Moreover, Ma Xiaonan had always wanted to visit the vi. Chen Hao looked at the guy named Li Hao. Knowing that Xu Xia was invited out by Yang Hui for dinner, Li Hao kept pestering him. Li Hao asked about Yang Hui''s family background. In other words, he was trying to say: is your family as rich as mine? whole family''s business went bankrupt overnight! Ming Huang Restaurant, which had always been their main source of ie, was forced to move out of Jin Ling Commercial Street! Why? Is Uncle Zhuang taking over the business?" Zhuang Qiang saw all the girls looking at him. All of a sudden, his vanity was greatly satisfied. He nodded his head. "Yeah, my dad is nning to do so. Anyhow, all of us know that business on Jin Ling Commercial Street is booming, so no one would doubt the business value there! Not to mention Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. that my dad always goes to Jin Ling Commercial Street. He is also a regr customer of Hot Spring Vi!" "Hot Spring Vi!" Everyone was excited once they heard the name of Hot Spring Vi. Zhuang Qiang nodded his head again and smiled. "Why? Have you been there before?" She thought about the embarrassment that Ning Fan caused when he mentioned the resort. But Zhao Yifan didn''t intend to hide from Zhuang Qiang. She told him everything that happened with Ning Fan that day. After listening to her, Zhuang Qiangughed and said, "I never thought Ning Fan would end up in this situation. But Yifan, since you didn''t get to go to the vi, I''ll bring you there this time. L just have to give my dad a all!" "Woah! Zhuang Qiang, really?" Lin Jiao asked in a lovely tone. "Of course! Excuse me for a while, I''ll call my dad now!" Zhuang Qiang dialed a number once he finished his words. After exining the situation, he hung up the phone. "Why don''t we leave now? I''m afraid there will be a lot of customers in the afternoon, then it will be difficult for my dad to make an appointment!" "Yes! Sure!" All the girls agreed. "Great.Then Li Hao will drive there too.We go in two cars!" After Zhuang Qiang finished speaking, Li Hao went to get his car happily. ¡°Zhuang Qiang, two cars should be enough to bring 7 of us including Xiaonan.But how about them..." Zhao Yifan pointed at Chen Hao,Yang Hui and the rest of them. Zhuang Qiang asked them,"None of you drove here?" Yang Hui''s face turned red.He shook his head and said, "It''s okay. We are not joining." Ma Xiaonan felt so bad because she was stuck in the middle."I''m not going if they are not going." Chen Hao really didn''t want to put Ma Xiaonan in an awkward situation every time. He knew that she really wanted to visit the resort. Chen Hao immediately said, "Xiaonan, you go with them first. We have ordered a table of food. We''ll meet you there once we finish eating!" Chen Hao purposely said this so that Zhao Yifan and Xu Xia could hear him. Yang Hui has ordered a table of food, and you are leaving now without even eating any of it. How could you be so inconsiderate? Zhao Yifan, who was observant, understood his words and immediately scorned, "Oh, you are going thereter? Do you think you can enter the resortter without Zhuang Qiang? It''s just a table of food, so do you need to be so stingy? Or shall I help you pay for the meal?" Yang Hui shook his hand and said, "You don''t have to. Forget about us, just go. Xu Xia, see you next time!" Yang Hui took a quick nce at Xu Xia. I was about to say see youter. But Zhao Yifan is right, how would I be able to enter the viter? Yang Hui thought. Then, Zhao Yifan and the girls left in excitement, hoping that it wouldn''t be another embarrassing event like the other day. After they left, Yang Hui looked at the dishes on the table. He was disappointed. "Hui, don''t be upset. We''re going to the viter as I said!" Chen Hui tapped on Yang Hui''s shoulder. Yang Hui smiled bitterly. "I know you''re trying to cheer me up. Thank you for that. There is so much food left, so let''s not waste them. After we finish eating, let''s go back to our dorm and sleep!" Chen Hao knew that Yang Hui thought he was just talking nonsense to cheer him up. Chen Hao smiled, thinking that he shouldn''t hide from them anymore. To be frank, he was the reason why Yang Hui and his friends were beingughed at and bullied all the time. Chen Hao felt bad about it too. Immediately he took out his phone and called Li Zhenguo. "Zhenguo, I''m going to the Hot Spring Vi with my friendster. Can you arrange two cars to send us there?" Li Zhenguo replied respectfully, "Roger, Mr. Chen. Where are you now?" Chen Hao told him the address and location, Yang Hui and the others looked at Chen Hao in surprise. "Damn, Chen, who did you call just now?" Chapter 19 Fetching Mr. Chen Chapter 19 Fetching Mr. Chen Yang Hui knew that Chen Hao was an honest person. In spite of his vanity. He would not have deceived them by making such a phone call after those people left. Everyone wondered what happened. Is it true that Chen can bring us to the Hot Spring Vi? How is that possible? Listening to Yang Hui''s question, Chen Hao didn''t say anything but smile. He was trying to tell them: Soon, you''ll know! N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. "Excuse me, sir. Will you still be dining here, or.." A pretty waitress came to them and asked politely. Although she was trying to be polite, she couldn''t hide her scornful attitude. Of course she knew who was the one who ordered the food. Looking at the current situation, she knew that all the pretty girls had left with the two rich young masters. Meanwhile, all the customers in the restaurant looked at Chen Hao, Yang Hui and the others with smiles on their faces. They felt humiliated, as if their girlfriends were being snatched away in front of everyone. That was why the pretty waitress came over to ask them if they were still having meals in the restaurant. If not, they should quickly pay the bill at the front counter. "No. Please help us pack all the food. We''ll bring it over and have it in the Hot Spring Vi." Of course Chen Hao could recognize the disdain in their eyes. Seeing that Yang Hui was so upset, none of them had the mood to continue eating here. But it was indeed wasteful to leave a table of food here. The pretty waitress and people who sat near themughed profusely when they heard what Chen Hao said. "F*ck, is this dude a fool?" "Who does he think he is? It''s just a table of food and they still want to pack it? And they want to bring it over to the Hot Spring Vi?" "Don''t they know that one main course in Hot Spring Vi cost more than the table of food they ordered here? Haha.." "I guess they are just seeking validation after the pretty girls they invited have all left with other guys. College students nowadays only care about their pride. They are not shameful at all when they brag about themselves!" The people around were mocking them in whispers. This made Yang Hui and the others feel awkward. They couldn''t help but keep quiet with their heads down. The waitress rolled her eyes and looked at Chen Hao with derision. "In that case, who would like to pay the bill?" "Me!" Yang Hui said immediately. This table of food cost as much as 800. It was half of Yang Hui''s monthly living expenses. Chen Hao packed the food on the table into stic bags. He ignored theughter and scorns from the others. Broom... Meanwhile, three luxury cars drove toward the restaurant and stopped right in front of the entrance. "Woah! There are three Rolls-Royce Phantom!" "Damn, who''s the rich guy? This car cost millions each!" "Not only the car model is incredible. Look at the car number tes!" The car number tes of these three Rolls Royce Phantom were special sequence numbers of 6, 8 and 9, which were 66666, 88888 and 99999. These special sequences of car number tes cost about one or two millions! Soon, the cars outside gained the attention from all the customers in the restaurant. Even the waitress was astonished. Is the owner of the carsing to our restaurant to have a meal? I will gain attention if I am the one who wees the cars'' owner? She quickly tidied her uniform and trotted to the door. Let''s see if the owner is here to have a meal, Three men got out of the cars. Three of them were in their tidy ck suits with sunsses and earphones. They looked exactly like the bodyguards of VIPs on TV. They retained a very strong and solemn aura. "Sir, how can I help.." The pretty waitress weed them immediately. However, the men didn''t even look at her and went straight to Chen Hao who was packing the food. "Mr. Chen!" Three of them bowed with 90 degrees and greeted him politely. "What? Mr. Chen?" "They called the fool who boasted just now as Mr. Chen?" Everyone in the restaurant was dumbfounded. Yang Hui and the others were even more surprised. What''s going on? Is Chen Hao that awesome? Chen Hao had finished packing the food on the table. "Alright, Hui, let''s go to the resort by car." "Mr. Chen, we''ll take these!" A few bodyguards rushed to his side and took the food from Chen Hao. Yang Hui and the others followed Chen Hao out unbelievably. "Mr. Chen... Have a good day!" Upon reaching the entrance, the pretty waitress greeted him in a hurry with a pale face. Chen Hao only nodded his head. His face was blushing as well. The stares from the public made him uneasy. They got into the cars quickly and were on their way to Hot Spring Vi. In the car, Yang Hui couldn''t stop himself from asking Chen Hao, "Chen Hao,what''s going on?" Chen Hao felt it was too early to tell them everything. He said,"Hui,I''ll slowly exin this matterter on. But remember, your business is my business.I will make them regret the embarrassment you suffered today!" Yang Hui and the rest stopped asking but nodded their heads in surprise. Soon,they reached the vi. Initially,the drivers were supposed to take Chen Hao and his friends to the VIP room for dinner. They even arranged a lot of entertaining activities for them. But Chen Hao noticed that Yang Hui and the rest were tense with the bodyguards around. In fact, Chen Hao felt uneasy too. Chen Hao let the drivers go back once they reached their destination.They nned to have dinner after exploring the vi. "Damn! Chen, you''re so cool! You really brought us to this vi as you said!" Li Rui couldn''t keep from admiring him while walking around the vi. "Hehe, I am acquainted with the CEO here! Order whatever you want! Enjoy yourselves to the full!" Chen Hao said smilingly. "Ah! I know now! Chen, let me guess. The CEO that you mentioned is the dad of the girl that you saved the other day. And he is also the one who gave you the VIP Shopping Card as gratitude, am I right?" "Well, I guess s..." Those cards were indeed sent to him by Li Zhenguo upon his sister''s order. Yang Hui and the rest finally understood. They felt safe to enjoy themselves. The vi was extremely huge, and it took up the space of half of the mountain. The view around the vipound was breathtaking,but there wasn''t much for them to do. The hot spring and the restaurant were actually inside the resort. After bing familiar with the surroundings,Chen Hao said, "Let''s go in. We''ll have dinner first,then we can take a bath in the hot spring!" "I''ve checked online,they mentioned that people were prohibited to enter the resort if they did not n to consume in the resort, is that true?" Li Rui asked curiously. Actually, it was enough for him to just have a look around the vipound. He knew that not everyone could stroll around the vipound. "Don''t worry!" Chen Hao gave him a smile.This vi was run by his sister,but it was registered under his name. So he wasn''t worried about it. There was a in looking bridge connecting the vipound, which was the outer section, and the inner section of the resort. While Chen Hao and his friends entered the inner section, they met Zhao Yifan and the other girls who were taking photos. "Look! It''s Chen Hao and his friends! How did they enter the resort?" Lin Jiao recognized them at once and said surprisingly. Zhao Yifan was having a conversation with Zhuang Qiang. Hearing Lin Jiao, she frowned and turned to look at their direction. Indeed, it was them. "How did they enter the resort?" Zhao Yifan asked in surprise. Chapter 20 A Meal That Costs Over 30,0000 Chapter 20 A Meal That Costs Over 30,0000 "Damn! Don''t tell me you snuck in from somewhere else?" Li Hao asked. He threw a malicious look at Chen Hao and the others. That was what crossed the mind of Zhao Yifan and the group of girls as well. Think about it. Hot Spring Vi was such a high ss ce. How could anyonee and go as they wished? Even Zhuang Qiang, who was of such high status, had to continuously call his father to connect with someone on the inside, and only then were they let in by the guards and allowed ess into the vi. Despite that, they were only allowed ess to the vi outerpound. "Damn! If they really snuck in, that would be so embarrassing!" "Embarrassment would be the least of our concerns. If the guards find out that they know us, wouldn''t we get chased out as well?" The group ofdies stared at Chen Hao distastefully. At the same time, they muttered in panic. "Yang Hui, how did you all enter this ce?" Xu Xia kept silent. She walked over toward Yang Hui and quietly asked. It seemed like she was concerned for Yang Hui. "We came in from the front entrance!" Chen Hao exined. Yang Hui also nodded while looking at Xu Xia. "Haha, front entrance? Do you think the guards are that blind?" Lin Jiao, who had been flirtatious all this while, snapped at Chen Hao. She swore to god that if she was chased out due to Chen Hao,she would p him ten times! Viciously! Zhao Yifan also knew the severe consequences of sneaking in. She stopped in front of Chen Hao and solemnly said,"Chen Hao,I hope you can tell us the truth. If you really snuck in just for the sake of your pride, I can let Zhuang Qiang know in advance.Who knows, maybe he can think of a way to help you!" "Yes.That way things wont go out of hand!" Zhuang Qiang agreed with Zhao Yifan. He thought,Zhao Yifan''s group of friends were a bunch of weirdos. "Um..." Chen Hao listened to them ramble on and on. He was really speechless. l walked in from the front entrance,so what other truths do they want? In order to satisfy them,do I have to tell them that l climbed in from a dog hole? "I am telling the truth. If you all are willing to, we can always hang out and have fun inside the vi. We could have a meal and experience the hot springs!" The only reason Chen Hao said this was due to Ma Xiaonan. In reality, Ma Xiaonan, who was next to him, was feeling anxious. She was afraid that Chen Hao would get into trouble. However, his good intentions were not appreciated.Instead,the group of people looked at Chen Hao as if he was an idiot. "What did you say? You still want to enter the inner section of the vi? Why don''t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Someone like you? Can''t you see the guards who are standing there?" Lin Jiao furiously reproached. "Exactly. Even Zhuang Qing could not bring so many of us inside.What makes you think that you can?" The group of girls chided. "Haha,there are fourteen of us. Ignoring the cost of the meal, just by soaking in the hot springs would cost more than 150,000. If you were to include the cost of the meal, that would at least be in the range of 200,000 to 300,000! If there were fewer of us, l could still work something out. However, with so many of us, it would also be very tight on my budget!" Zhuang Qiang threw a bitter smile at Chen Hao. Zhao Yifan was very touched as Zhuang Qiang was so kind toward them. At the same time,she got even more speechless at Chen Hao. "It''s okay. Why don¡¯t wee again in the future? Let''s leave in order to avoid this awkward situation!" "No way! Why should we leave because of this loser!" "Exactly! Zhao Yifan, we rarely have such opportunities toe in and visit!" All of a sudden, everyone''s gaze was on Chen Hao.They all stared angrily at him. That was exactly the effect Zhao Yifan wanted. She wanted to force Chen Hao to leave. Chen Hao bitterly smiled and shook his head."If you are willing to follow me in, then by all means!" He looked at Ma Xiaonan and said,"Xiaonan,do you believe me? If you believe me,thene along with me!" Ma Xiaonan gritted her teeth and ultimately nodded. Chen Hao then brought the few of them to cross the bridge and walked toward the inner section. "Haha, wait for them to get punished! If anything happenster, they''d better not drag us into it.Such an embarrassment!" Lin Jiao looked on, speechless. "This guy sure knows how to joke around!" Zhuang Qiang simply stood there and enjoyed the show as well. However, what happened next blew their mind. Wherever Chen Hao went, he coulde and go as he wished. The group of guards even bowed when they saw Chen Hao. "What is going on?" Zhuang Qiang was in disbelief. Lin Jiao''s mouth fell wide open and she had to cover it with her hands. She thought that Chen Hao would get beaten up and she had been secretly delighted about it. Yet, he was able to walk in casually. The group ofdies had confused looks on their faces. Even more so for Zhao Yifan. If she had not seen this with her own eyes, she would not have believed it. In her eyes, Chen Hao was always the poor loser that was to be looked down on. She knew that Xiaonan had the intention of helping them build a closer rtionship. However, from the day of the bag incident until now, Zhao Yifan had felt that he was an ultimate loser. She was fed up with him whenever they met. Yet now, he could roam freely at Hot Springs Vi. Even Zhuang Qiang did not have the authority to bring so many people into the vi. "Yifan, what do we do now?" Lin Jiao stared at Chen Hao''s distancing shadow and she was not willing to ept the situation that had just unfolded. Zhao Yifan nced at Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao, who were next to her. She had a questioning look on her face. Zhuang Qiang''s father could pressure Li Feihong from the Imperial KTV to bow down and submit to them. Hence, if his father was willing to help, this wouldn''t be a problem as well! Zhuang Qiang''s expression changed. It could be said that Chen Hao just pped their faces and made a joke out of them. If Zhuang Qiang followed Chen Hao right now, he would definitely be treated as a joke! What should I do? I will call my father again! I don''t want to be made fun of in front of Zhao Yifan. Thus, he took out his phone and called his father and narrated the situation. Zhuang Qiang''s father was also someone who prioritized reputation. Upon hearing that his son had been made fun of through mary means, he could not stand it. He immediately promised that he would fund Zhuang Qiang another 100,000 in order to gain his reputation back. Although it was a huge sum of money, it was a matter of their reputation! "Whatever, nothing special about that. Yifan, let''s go inside as well. I will bring everyone into the inner section of Hot Springs Vi!" Zhuang Qiang squeezed the words out of his mouth. "Great! Zhuang Qiang is so cool! Yes, we cannot be put down by the poor dude and be made fun of!" Lin Jiao and the others started cheering. Each person''s entrance fee already cost around 10,000, excluding the hot springs, dining service and other entertainment options like golf. The eight of them spent 80,000 just like that. "So what if they were inside? They would merely be passersby here. On the other hand, I would still be able to treat you all to a game of bowling!" Zhuang Qiang threw a nce at Li Hao. They also lost their cool and spent the80,000. Worste to worst, they would spend all1 50,000! Bowling should be the cheapest activity in the vi. At least it was cheaper than having a meal! Everyone followed Zhuang Qiang inside. The inner section was really worlds apartpared to the outer section. It was like visiting apletely different. No wonder all the rich businessmen from out of town treated the Hot Springs Resort like heaven. It really felt and looked like heaven. Zhao Yifan was still in shock. Being mocked by Chen Hao left asting effect and it had only subsided a little. "Ah! Take a look there! What do you all see?" At this moment, Lin Jiao, who was touching up her makeup in order to take a selfie, spotted a loft. The loft was elegant and it was located right on top of the most beautiful Hot Spring waterfall. There were people having a meal inside. The surrounding water started to turn into mist and slowly rose. There was even a rainbow in the background. From the eyes of the people above, it looked as if they were dining on top of the clouds. It was such a beautiful sight. Zhao Yifan also noticed how beautiful it was. She wished that she was the one having a meal up there. That way, she would be the centre of attention and everyone would be envious of her. "That''s Ru Wei cafe!" Zhuang Qiang also could not help but be envious about it. "Brother Qiang, what is Ru Wei Cafe? It doesn''t sound special at all? Is it very expensive?" Lin Jiao and the group of girls asked. "Doesn''t sound special? Very expensive? It is more than just expensive! Putting the cost of the meal aside, do you know how much it cost just to enter Ru Wei Cafe? It costs 300,000!" Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked. Entering this ce alone cost 300,000? Oh my god! Zhuang Qiang knew more than that. He said, "Not only do you have to be rich, you would also have to be of a certain status before being allowed to enter. Therefore, people who are allowed to dine in there must be wealthy businessmen. Huge business tycoons would utilize that area in order to have a meal together." Zhao Yifan was devastated. "Hey, that''s not right! Yifan and Zhuang Qiang, take a look at the people dining there! Why does it look like Chen Hao and his dorm mates?" Lin Jiao stared for a long while and finally saw what was out of ce. Xu Xia who was beside her also nodded. "Yes, I saw Yang Hui as well!" Zhao Yifan''s heart sank. She followed Zhuang Qiang, Li Hao and the others to get a closer look. They could make out the silhouette of Chen Hao and the others. "Impossible!" Zhao Yifan could not believe it. How could this poor dude be in there? Absolutely impossible! Ring- Just then, Zhao Yifan''s phone rang. Ma Xiaonan was the one who called. "Yifan, why did you all take so long? The food has been served already. I can spot all of you,e on up! The view up here is breathtaking!" As she was talking over the phone, Zhao Yifan could see her waving from the loft. She was motioning for them to go up! "My god. It rally is Chen Hao, Xiaonan and the others.. how.." Lin Jiao gulped. This was so unreal! Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao turned purple. Their faces have been thrown out of the window today! "Yifan, let''s go. Let''s go up now!" Lin Jiao could not wait to head up. Most importantly, the rest of the rich and famous visitors in the vi were staring at them in envy. Their narcissistic needs were fulfilled and she felt inted. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Zhao Yifan bit on her lips,"Alright! Let''s go up!" She had to find out what was going on with Chen Hao! Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep well from today onward. Li Hao, on the other hand, looked nervously at Zhuang Qiang. He said, "Zhuang Qiang, this poor dude is actually so powerful. I think we should make a move. Let''s not try to court his friends anymore.¡± Li Hao was already afraid. Zhuang Qiang snorted. "Damn! What are you afraid of! I don''t believe he is this powerful! Let''s go up and check out the situation!" Chapter 21 Brother Chens Speech Made Sense Chapter 21 Brother Chen''s Speech Made Sense Above the clouds. Chen Hao, Yang Hui,Xiaonan and the rest of them were seated together. They were enjoying the beautiful scenery surrounding them. As for Ma Xiaonan''s astonishment, Chen Hao gave her a runaround. Chen Hao did not expect Zhenguo to give him such a huge favor. It must cost a lot to dine in this ce. Then again, he thought of the fact that the entire vi was owned by him and his sister. That gave Chen Hao a different sensation of excitement. At this moment, Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls came up. Zhao Yifan had a ghastly expression. After all, she had always treated Chen Hao as a poor loser and looked down on him. Yet, now she felt as if she had to actually respect Chen Hao. That made Zhao Yifan feel extremely ufortable. "Chen Hao! How could you afford toe up here?" As soon as she saw him, the first thing Zhao Yifan blurted out was the burning question in her mind. It was also the question that scared her the most. She was afraid Chen Hao would tell her he was rich. That would make Zhao Yifan even more ufortable. "Exactly! Chen Hao, how could you afford this ce? This ce is very expensive!" Lin Jiao''s tone became much more polite and even had a slight hint of shyness. Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao also wanted to hear his exnation. Chen Hao smiled and replied, "Oh, I just so happen to know the General Manager here. Thus, he invited me over here for a meal and I could bring my friends along!" What? Everyone looked confused. Even if Chen Hao knew the General Manager, wasn''t this a bit too grand? Zhao Yifan stared at Chen Hao. Ma Xiaonan could not help but tell the truth. She narrated how Chen Hao met with the General Manager and how they all came to the vi. Zhao Yifan heaved a sigh of relief. She asked, "Xiaonan, did you mean that Chen Hao saved the daughter of the General Manager? So the only reason he could purchase the famous and expensive Hermes bag as well as having this meal in the most luxurious area of the vi was all because of that? Ma Xiaonan nodded her head. "Yes, Chen Hao got lucky. Good-hearted demeanor often meets with rpense!" Phew, that gave me a scare! Zhao Yifan felt relieved. Even Zhuang Qiang and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Although Chen Hao was enjoying better treatment currentlypared to them, who were rich second generation heirs, all these were just to return him a favor. After today, Chen Hao would still remain a poor loser. After everything was cleared up, Zhao Yifan and the group of girls felt better. Despite that, Chen Hao could tell that Zhao Yifan was not appreciative. However, she did not seem to despise him as much as before. In her eyes, her presence was already saving Chen Hao''s face. Chen Hao merely smiled in response to all of that. "Have a look at that! Is that an oil painting? It looks like an oil painting from a famous master abroad! Is that real?" All of them ate and drank, rxing and enjoying themselves. Then, Lin Jiao''s gaze fixated on four paintings each of a different style on the four pirs within the loft. One of them was an antique oil painting. It was painted by a famous painter, well known in the history Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. of other foreign countries. Lin Jiao recognized it at first nce. "It should be real.. Chen Hao smiled. Barely anything was fake in this vi. After all, a lot of money was invested. "What do you mean it should be real? It is real!" Upon hearing what Chen Hao said, Zhuang Qiang scorned. He used to study abroad. It was his strength to examine certain famous foreign works. What a poor dude this Chen Hao is. He had the ability to treat all of us yet he made me spend 80,000 to 90,000. And it was all for nothing! Zhuang Qiang had no choice but to regain his reputation from elsewhere! He confidently said, "The beginning auction price of this painting has reached 1 million overseas. It is extremely valuable! The other three paintings within the loft of the vi are all rather expensive as well. Why else do you think it''s so expensive to dine in here?" "Oh my god! Beginning price of at least 1 million?!" The group of girls were amazed. Lin Jiao was even more excited. "I have to take a picture with this photo! A photo with all these famous paintings that cost a few million!" Everyone burst intoughter. Chen Hao stood up and took down the precious painting. "If you all want to take a look, just take it down and have a look!" "Hey, hey, hey! My god! Chen Hao, can you keep your hands to yourself? Damn! If you spoil the painting, who would be able topensate for it?" Zhuang Qiang stared angrily at Chen Hao. Li Hao also sneered. "The manager only invited you for a meal. Do you think you are actually the host of this ce?" Zhao Yifan kept quiet but she was looking at Chen Hao. She shook her head in disappointment. Be it carrying himself or in terms of knowledge, Chen Hao was way behindpared to Zhuang Qiang. No matter where he was, the vibe he transmitted was just unsightly! Far too unsightly! Chen Hao''s intention of taking the painting down was to improve their rtionship. Instead, he was interpreted as being careless. Oh well, whatever. Chen Hao wanted to hang the oil painting back. Who would have known that his hands would tremble and he did not manage to hang the painting securely. Coupled with that, a strong breeze blew in. As such, the oil painting slipped out of his hands. It was blown out by the wind and fell straight into the waterfall below! "Ah!" The group of girls screamed upon seeing what transpired. Even Zhao Yifan could not sit still and stood up in shock. Oh god, this oil painting is screwed. That''s 1 million down the drain! Everyone subconsciously gulped. Only Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao wereughing within their hearts. Damn! An oil painting that cost 1 million is gone just like that! The manager owes you a favor and the favor was returned by treating you to a meal here. Let us see how you handle this after messing up the painting! Haha! "Chen Hao, why don''t we make a move instead? Since we are almost done eating!" Ma Xiaonan asked carefully. If they continued to stay here, Chen Hao would not be able to avoid paying the 1 million! ¡°Oh no, this is not good! Take a look downstairs! There are peopleing up!" Lin Jiao nervously said while pointing down. Chen Hao also looked. He saw Li Zhenguo with a few waiters. They had expensive alcohol on their trays and were walking up toward them. Chen Hao guessed that they were here to propose a toast. Chen Hao felt speechless. He had already informed Li Zhenguo not to expose his identity as it was not the right time. Why was he here to propose a toast? Very soon, Li Zhenguo arrived. Zhuang Qiang naturally recognized Li Zhenguo. "General... General Manager Li!" Zhuang Qiang stuttered. He did not expect the manager Chen Hao was talking about was Li Zhenguo, the tycoon of Jin Ling city! Zhao Yifan was also shocked and she dared not open her mouth. Chen Hao is so lucky! Li Zhenguo nodded as a sign of regards toward them. His gazended on Chen Hao and he respectfully said, "Chen.." He suddenly recalled that Chen Hao had reminded him not to expose his identity. As such, Li Zhenguo quickly rephrased and said, "Chen Hao, what are your thoughts on today''s arrangement? How do you feel? Are you satisfied?" Chen Hao nodded and smiled. At this moment, Zhuang Qiang gulped and said, "G-General Manager Li, Chen Hao messed up your oil painting. It fell into the water below!" "Yes, General Manager Li. It''s Chen Hao''s fault! He insisted on removing the oil painting. In the end, the painting slipped and fell!" Lin Jiao quickly pleaded innocence as well. In a hurry, Ma Xiaonan exined, "But General Manager Li, Chen Hao did not do that on purpose!" Yang Hui also stood on Chen Hao''s side. That was 1 million! How could he everpensate that amount? Li Zhenguo was very intelligent. How could he not have understood the situation? Looks like not all of them are Young Master Chen''s friends. It''s also obvious Young Master had not revealed his identity. Young Master Chen has always been conservative and maintained a low profile. Looks like he does not want to gloat and brag about things. Li Zhenguo was not stupid. Furthermore, coupled with Chen Hao''s previous reminder, he was not going to expose Chen Hao''s identity just like that. His expression changed. "What! That oil painting was thrown down the loft?" Li Zhenguo trembled with rage and looked terrified. He looked as if he was very concerned about the oil painting! The atmosphere became tense. Ma Xiaonan quickly apologized. "General Manager Li, we are truly sorry!" ¡°Chen Hao, that famous painting costs 1 million... Moreover, my boss exceptionally likes this painting.How am I supposed to exin what happened?" Li Zhenguo stared solemnly at Chen Hao. Chen Hao knew that Li Zhenguo was trying to give him a graceful way of backing out of this predicament.This was the only way without exposing his identity. Haha...Li Zhenguo is such an interesting person. Chen Hao then acted as if he was in remorse. "General Manager Li, I did not expect this to happen as well! You cannot fault me for this!" ¡°You are not to me?" Li Zhenguo frowned. Lin Jiao, who was standing beside Chen Hao, thought that he wanted to put the me on her. She quickly said,"Chen Hao, it was you! The painting slipped out of your hands! Stop trying to put the me on others!" ¡°Exactly! Have the courage to admit your mistake! Are you still a man?" The group of girls also looked at him in disdain. "1 am guessing he is afraid of having to pay 1 million, and that''s why he is trying toy me on others!" Li Hao also sneered. At the end of the meal, Chen Hao did not manage to close the gap between them. Instead, all he received were envious looks from them! Chen Hao smiled bitterly. Yet, he had to continue faking it. "General Manager Li, let me exin to you. I did take down the painting but you cannot fault me because there was a strong breeze. I was going to hang the painting back but the wind knocked the painting out of my hands!" "Haha! He is actually trying to push the me onto the sky and the air!" The group of people expressed their contempt. Zhuang Qiang also said,¡°Chen Hao, you are such a coward. You put the me on the wind?! You really have a way of trying to get out of things!" Li Zhenguo put on a front, as if he was deep in thought. After some time, he patted his own head."Chen Hao, I finally understood what happened. Looks like I have misunderstood you. This painting was blown down by the wind! You are really not to be med!" "Yes. You all hung the painting here and the breeze was so strong!" Chen Hao followed up and said. "Yes, yes. If you had not reminded me, I would have forgotten about that. Looks like we are responsible for this mistake!" What? Everyone''s mouth fell open. Just like that, Li Zhenguo was convinced? Zhuang Qiang felt as if there was a bone wedged in his throat. It felt extremely ufortable. Zhao Yifan and the rest were even more confused. "Alright. Since things have been cleared up, we should make a move! Thank you General Manager Li for your hospitality." Chen Hao grinned. The show Li Zhenguo put on was really funny. After everyone left, they all threw a confused look at Chen Hao. Zhao Yifan felt that there was something amiss with Chen Hao. "Chen Hao, you are so amazing! Just like that, you convinced General Manager Li who seemed very concerned about the painting!" Ma Xiaonan was in admiration. Zhao Yifan merely stood there and listened. She was extremely confused. Was that the truth? Is that all there is to it? Chapter 22 Its Time to Pay the Tuition Fees Chapter 22 It''s Time to Pay the Tuition Fees Even after they reached their dormitories, Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls were feeling glum. Nobody would have felt that bad if Chen Hao, being a poor loser, had won the lottery with a cash price of about 100,000. However, not only did he buy a luxury bag, he even dined in the top restaurant in Hot Spring Vi. Besides that, it was a painting that cost 1 million. How could he have persuaded Li Zhenguo with just a few words? It was impossible! "Yifan, what do you think of today''s incident?" Zhao Yifan sat on her bed listening to the question posed by Lin Jiao, who was removing her makeup. She frowned. "1 have no idea, maybe we''re over thinking. Didn''t Xu Xia call Yang Hui again just now to confirm that the reason why General Manager Li was so courteous to Chen Hao was because he saved his daughter?" "Regarding that painting incident,I guessed Li Zhenguo was trying to find a reason not to make things difficult for Chen Hao. Chen Hao did rescue his daughter and that itself is a massive favor already!" Zhao Yifan reasoned. "Then it makes perfect sense. Humph! I thought that Chen Hao suddenly became rich today. I nearly had the shock of my life!" Lin Jiao gave a long sigh. "Why don''t you continue calling him Brother Chen Hao?" A group of girls teased. "Who would call him that. Damn it, how could he waste a favor just like that. If I had that kind of favor, I would have asked General Manager Li to arrange a position for me. That way, I would not have to worry anymore!" "It''s true. Chen Hao, on the other hand, used up his favorpletely in just one day. Sigh, I really worry about his IQ!¡± The girls chattered away. Zhao Yifan was enjoying the conversation. The more Chen Hao suffered, the more rxed she felt. It was a very strange feeling indeed.. However, Chen Hao did not think too much about it. The moment they got back to their rooms, all of them fell asleep in an instant because they enjoyed themselves too much today. The next day, when they were preparing to go to ss, he saw Yang Hui and the rest of them in the dormitory. They were putting money into envelopes and writing their names on the envelopes. Chen Hao looked at the group messages and found out that the ss monitor had tagged all their ssmates in the group chat, telling them that their tuition fees were due today. "Chen Hao, for your tuition fees, will you be waiting for the student subsidies for another half a month? ...?" Actually, Yang Hui wanted to ask if General Manager Li had given Chen Hao some cash to pay for his tuition fees or something along those lines. However, when he recalled the painting that was worth 1 million, he did not ask any further. He was afraid that his best friend Chen Hao had gone back to being just a poor boy. Chen Hao smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I still have some money left. It''s enough to pay for my tuition fees. Oh by the way, you guys can go to the ssroom to pay first, because I need to withdraw some money!" Chen Hao didn''t seem to be lying. Yang Hui thought that he really did have some money left. Thus, he felt relieved. Chen Hao arrived at the bank located at the campus entrance. "I would like to withdraw 5,000!" Chen Hao gave them the card through the window. As a result,the service staff inside was stunned. She picked up Chen Hao''s bank card and looked it over from the front and back. Finally she asked Chen Hao in surprise,"What''s wrong with your card? The card services were changed by somebody!" His card services were changed? Chen Hao was stunned. Actually,the female service staff noticed that Chen Hao''s attire looked quite ordinary. He looked like a poor student at one nce. Hence, her tone was a bit impatient. However,other than a few VIP customers, only a few people could alter their banking card services. She exined, "Yes,your banking card underwent some major changes in the UnionPay service. You can only withdraw a minimum of 200,000 at once.You cannot withdraw 5,000 at all!" The female service staff gave him a once- over. No matter how she looked at this student in front of her, he did not look like a rich person at all. So, who set up his bank card? Chen Hao knew who did it in an instant. Other than his sister Chen Xiao, who else could it be? My dear sister, is it so wrong to be thrifty? Damn it, how could she set a minimum limit for my bank card. Does she want our family to go bankrupt?! He immediately called his sister. Very soon, his call was answered. "Sister, did you do anything to my bank card?" "Yes I did. I adjusted the minimum withdrawal amount. I had no choice. This is because you are not behaving like a rich kid. My dear brother, with the way you are now, how are you going to establish a foothold in our family? You should slowly adjust to this kind of lifestyle!" Chen Hao was stunned into silence. "Oh, by the way. I would have given you a call today if you had not called me. Other than the bank card, I have also set some minimum withdrawal limits for you recently. Do you still remember the shopping cards that I gave you?" N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. "There''s still approximately 10,000,000 worth of credit inside. I have set the end of this month as the expiry date. In other words, if you do not spend all the money in these shopping cards by then, then that10,000,000 will end up in another person''s pockets!" "Damn it!" Chen Hao''s eyes nearly turned red. Such cruelty! Such cruelty! She was essentially forcing him to bankrupt the entire family! "You better grow up fast. Don''t let your sister and parents worry about getting you out of the shadows of poverty.." With that, his sister hung up the phone. "What''s wrong with you? Do you want to withdraw your money or not? If you do not want to do that, don''t waste our time!" Unbeknownst to him, there were already 5 to 6 students standing behind him. All of them wanted to withdraw their money. The person who uttered those words was a well-dressed guy who had his arms around a pretty female student. He cast a look of disdain in the direction of Chen Hao. The tuition fees were due today, thus a lot of students came here to withdraw money. Seeing Chen Hao on the phone for such a long time and looking at his attire, anybody could see that he had definitely ran out of money and was currently calling his parents to amass some. "Gosh, how long do you need to gather the money? Our sses are starting soon. Haha!" A girl asked with disdain, with a boy''s arm around her waist. "I''ll withdraw now!" He had no choice since more and more students wereing to the bank. Chen Hao thought that he would better hurry. He would withdraw 20000 first. Then, he informed the service staff at the bank counter. The female service staff was a bit skeptical. However, she punched in the amount. Following that, herputer disy showed that the withdrawal was a sess! The female service staff''s eyes gleamed in that instant. 200,000! I''ll be damned. He''s filthy rich!"Sir, it''s done!" The female service staff straightened her hair and stood up to service him as a way of expressing her respect toward Chen Hao. She took two bundles of money and put it into the money counter. Whirl! Whirl! Whirl! The machines whirled. It was all cash! AlI the students who were in the hall were stunned. The couple behind Chen Hao had their mouths wide open. Their mouths were so wide that you could stuff two eggs inside there. Just now, they were taunting him to withdraw his money quickly as though he didn''t have enough. But now it seemed that it wasn''t true! Quite a number of female students were giving him some strange looks. As if saying, Here handsome, look at me, please look at me! Chen Hao touched his nose embarrassingly. He noticed that there was a lot of money and he did not have anything to put it in. He saw a ck colored rubbish bag in the dustbin in front of the counter. It was changed recently and was still brand new. He took it directly. "You... Are you using this?" The female service staff looked at him in surprise. Was the world of the rich different? "Yes!" Chen Hao did not say anything more. He packed the 20000 cash into the stic bag. Then, he picked up his bank and ID card and left the bank. ¡°Oh my God, look at him. He was urging that guy just now. Is his family as rich as him?" The moment Chen Hao left, the entire hall was abuzz with noise. The girl behind Chen Hao just now even gave the guy a punch in disdain. The male student could only look at Chen Hao''s retreating figure and said viciously, "F*ck, what kind of wealthy person dresses like this!" Even though Chen Hao hurriedly returned to the ssroom so that he could pay his tuition fees on time, he was stillte. "I''m here!" Chen Hao stood at the entrance of the ssroom. A young, pretty tutor named Meng Cairu gave Chen Hao a nce. "Ah! I thought you would be too scared toe after knowing that the tuition fees are due today." After that, she looked at the rubbish bag that Chen Hao was holding in his hands."What''s that? Are you picking up trash for ie since you do not have enough money for your tuition fees?" "Hahaha.." The moment Meng Cairu uttered those words, everybody in the ssroom started roaring with Chen Hao did not say anything. His tutor had always acted so. She really despised the poor and curried favor with the rich. To put it this way, Meng Cairu had a good rtionship with Xu Nan and a few of the richer students in ss. She would usually go out to sing with them. Even if Xu Nan and the rest of them yed truant or skipped their exams, they would still be able to get high grades. They did not even need to apply for a day off. However, if Chen Hao did all these things, Meng Cairu would expel him from college if he skipped sses without applying for a leave first. Although he was exaggerating the situation, that was pretty much the truth! "Looking at you, I know that you have to rely on the student subsidies again, right? Why didn''t Jiang Weiwei report to me? Let me tell you this, Chen Hao. If you cannot pay your tuition fees by the end of the month, you would still have to drop out automatically even if you are in your third year of college!" Meng Cairu coldly stated, "Ok, you can take your trash and go back to your seat! Such an embarrassment!" Meng Cairu had heard about Chen Hao''s previous incidents. Hence, at that moment, faced with Chen Hao''s worrying IQ, she could not get too angry about it. Pfft! Xu Nan, Blondie and the rest of the gang were covering their mouths as theyughed. Chen Hao looked apathetic.¡°Ms.Meng, who said that I would drag till the month''s end to make my payment. I specifically came here today to pay my tuition fees!" "What? Is he really paying his fees today?" Everyone questioned in disbelief. Meng Cairu looked surprised. Even Yang Xia, who was sitting in the middle of the ssroom, rolled her eyes at him. "Chen Hao, don''t tell me you brought 10 or1 banknotes again. You had us counting the money for nearly half a day!" Meng Cairu said worriedly. Last semester, everybody was shocked when Chen Hao paid his tuition fees. As he wasn''t sessful in applying for the student subsidies, Chen Hao gathered all his savings that he had earned from his part time jobs to pay his tuition fees. He had caused quite a stir in his entire department. What the f*ck. Does such a poor person even exist? Meng Cairu was really worried that the same incident would happen again. As their tutor, she would be so embarrassed! "Sigh, Ms. Meng, looks like we have to expend some effort again! I am worried about my right hand as this is the hand that was suppose to be use on dining and gaming!" Xu Nan, Blondie and the rest of them pretended to look pained as they swung their right hands around while walking up the stage, indicating that they were prepared to help the tutor count the money. When in reality, they wanted to ridicule Chen Hao. Yang Xia didn''t want to look at him. As his ex-girlfriend, she felt so embarrassed! "Haha, if you guys are willing to count it then you can count it slowly. Let me know when you are done!" There was a hint of anger on Chen Hao''s face. He threw the rubbish bag onto the podium coldly. Thud! The money in the rubbish bag scattered throughout the podium. Chapter 23 Ive Won the Lottery Chapter 23 I''ve Won the Lottery ''What?" All the students in the ss were stunned. Xu Nan, who was standing on the podium and was preparing to ridicule Chen Hao, had an incredulous look on his face. How did Chen Hao get so rich? Meng Cairu''s lips parted slightly. She felt her breath quickened. Even Yang Xia, who was at the bottom of the podium, looked shocked. At one nce, these cash amounted to approximately a few hundred thousand."Chen Ha... where did you get this money from?" Meng Cairu calmed herself and asked."That''s right Chen Hao there is at least200,000 here." Several female students near the podium couldn''t help but ask. "Yes, there is 200,000 here. As to where I obtained t... It''s from a lottery!" Chen Hao said. Of course, he could not tell them about the minimum withdrawal amount that his sister set for him. He knew that they would still treat him like an idiot even if he exined it to them. Chen Hao definitely would not show off his wealth, unless the situation demanded it, like now. "You''ve won the lottery!?" Chen Hao''s words caused quite a stir in the ssroom. Xu Nan, Blondie and the rest of the gang on stage were looking like a bunch of idiots. They wanted to ridicule Chen Hao in the beginning, but now he had thrown 200,000 at their faces for them to count. They really deserved it. They continued to stand on the stage as they were too embarrassed to walk down. Yang Xia anxiously asked, "Chen Hao, how much did you win?" Her breathing was fast. She was afraid that he had won a few million. If that was true, she wanted to jump off the building. No! Absolutely not! As somebody who was dumped by her, how could he have such good fortune?! No!!! Chen Hao smiled calmly. "Not much, not much!" "How much is not much? 200,000?¡± Meng Cairu looked at Chen Hao questioningly. "Whatever you say.." said Chen Hao. ??? Everyone was dumbfounded. What did he mean, "Whatever you say"? The ssroom was in an uproar as the students anxiously guessed how much Chen Hao won. This was because most of the students there, including Meng Cairu, had always looked down on Chen Hao. He was a poor dude who deserved to be derided and mocked at. However, now that he had won the lottery, many people''s self esteem could not bear it. But mostly, they were just jealous! "5,000, it should be easy to count right?" Chen Hao gave the dumbfounded Xu Nan a cold nce. Then he took out another 5,000 and flung it in front of Meng Cairu. Then, he turned to the rest of the students and asked, "Who can lend me their bags?" Since he had revealed that he was rich, Chen Hao did not n on being a wimp anymore. He decided that he would be like Xu Nan and his gang. Since he had money, he would be firm with his request. Chen Hao wanted to borrow a bag to put the money in! "Chen Hao, use mine!" "Chen Hao, use mine, I am not using my bag now anyway!" ¡°Chen Hao, Chen Ha..." Many students mored for his attention at once. They wanted to lend him their bags. Chen Hao finally borrowed one. He put the rest of the 190,000 into the bag. "Why does he look so smug? It''s only200,000. Did he even need to show off his money? He even took out the f*cking200,000 in cash. He''s really an upstart, such a country bumpkin!" Xu Nan and Blondie spat out viciously. Yang Xia looked at Chen Hao ufortably. She wanted to say something to him but was too embarrassed to do so. Oh my God, it''s so frustrating! If she had dumped him a few dayster, Yang Xia was sure that Chen Hao would spend all the 200,000 on her. "Chen Hao, you are so lucky. Besides, you are pretty popr right now. All the students here are willing to lend you things like bags. Since you are so rich now, don''t you want to treat everyone to a meal?" At this moment, Meng Cairu said out of jealousy from the podium. "You''re right, Young Master Chen. Since you''ve won 200,000, you should treat us to a meal." "We are not sure whether our Young Master Chen is willing to or not. We have been ssmates for three years already, don''t we get to share this glory with you?" Some girls tried to persuade him. Chen Hao thought, Since I told them that I won the lottery, if I did not treat them to a meal, wouldn''t that make them unhappy? Chen Hao initially only wanted to treat his roommates and Xiao Nan to a fancy meal. But now... Chen Hao said,¡°No problem, tonight is my treat. Those who wish toe can tag along!" What Chen Hao really meant was, if you think that you are close to me, then you cane along. "Yeah!" Many people in the ss started cheering. Chen Hao smiled bitterly and carried his money back to his seat. This morning''s ss had be more interesting. More and more people started to surround Chen Hao. All of them wanted to know how much Chen Hao won. But Chen Hao managed to dodge their questions. Hence, some of them started feeling anxious! "Xu Nan, what''s our n tonight? Are we still going? This guy is excluding us intentionally!" Blondie said viciously. Anybody would feel antsy if the person you had always bullied and looked down on was suddenly doing better than you. Blondie was that kind of person. "Haha, we should go! We definitely have to go! Let''s bleed that kid''s wallet dry tonight.." Looking at Chen Hao, Xu Nan smiled while rubbing his chin. Blondie instantly understood. "Clever, very clever indeed!" It was noon already. Chen Hao prepared to go out to book a restaurant. As the saying goes, you should keep the goodies within the family. Hence, Chen Hao naturally went to a restaurant that was owned by him on Jin Ling Commercial Street. If the restaurant was too high-end, he was afraid that his ssmates would call him a pretentious b*stard. 200,000 was definitely not enough. Although the money that he spent would eventually end up in his pockets, it would be too far-fetched. Hence, Chen Hao found a rtively less expensive ce that was simr to Ming Huang Restaurant in terms of status on Jin Ling Commercial Street. The restaurant''s name was ''Homecook Kitchen Restaurant''. The moment he entered the restaurant, Chen Hao saw a few familiar faces. "Manager Zhao, our expenditure today is not bad huh? Each of us spent approximately 1,880. The next time wee here, you ought to give us a discount.." "Haha, no problem, Young Master Wang. The next time youe here, we will definitely give you a discount!""Wang Yang is really gaining a lot of respect!" "Of course! Do you know who Wang Yang is? He drives an Audi A6 and even uses it for practice only. The restaurant he frequents is also a 5-star restaurant like this Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. Hehe, whoever marries Young Master Wang, he or she will truly be dignified!" "Weiwei, we were able toe here today because Wang Yang fancies you.." Chen Hao took a look and saw that the group of people consisted of the President and Vice President of the student council, Jiang Weiwei and Wang Yang, and Jiang Weiwei''s other friends. They were all looking at Wang Yang with admiration. "Wee sir!" Chen Hao wanted to avoid them initially, especially Jiang Weiwei, whose mouth was like a cannon. She would ridicule people wherever she went. He silently thought to himself that what a coincidence it was to bump into them. He was about to leave to look for another restaurant but the waiter had a sharp eye. He immediately bowed to Chen Hao, his voice ringing loud and clear. That attracted Wang Yang and the group''s attention. The moment they turned their heads, their eyes gleamed. "Chen Hao!" Jiang Weiwei shouted in surprise, then asked with contempt, "What are you doing in Homecook Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Kitchen Restaurant?" In her eyes, Chen Hao was the type of person who would work hard and struggle every day for money. To the extent that if he did not think of a way to earn money today, he would go hungry tomorrow. So how could he possiblye to a high- end ce like this? "Maybe he came here for a part-time job!" "I''ll be damned. Our department is having a ss this afternoon and he came here to work?" "Haha, I think that he slipped out secretly. Was it because he knew that his student subsidies were a hopeless cause? That''s why he is looking for a part-time job to earn some money. Or else he would be expelled from college!" Four or five of the girls obviously knew who Chen Hao was and startedughing scornfully. Jiang Weiwei''s gaze was cold. She interrogated, "Chen Hao, how dare you skip sses just to work part-time. Believe it or not, I am going to tell the department to take disciplinary action. So that even if you earned the money, you would not have enough credits to graduate!" Wang Yang was sneering. Chen Hao relied on his good grades and didn''t bother to greet him whenever he bumped into him. Wang Yang wanted to see how this person could continue to survive in their department. "I didn''te here for a part-time job. I only came here to book a private room!" When he heard Jiang Weiwei and her group ridiculing him one after another, Chen Hao was mad. He casually replied to them and did not n to walk away anymore. He went directly to the front counter. "What? You? You want to book a private room?" Jiang Weiwei and her group of friends were stunned. The look of hatred on their faces became even more obvious... Chapter 24 The Deluxe Room Chapter 24 The Deluxe Room "You? Chen Hao? You want to book a room in this restaurant? Do you know how much it costs?" Jiang Weiwei looked at Chen Hao scornfully, as if she was looking at an idiot. Is this dude crazy? Does he think that he can afford a meal in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant? "Miss, do you know him?" The manager smiled at Jiang Weiwei while asking her. To be honest, judging by his clothing, Chen Hao really didn''t look like he could afford to eat here. The price range of the packages here was from 888 to 18,800. The most expensive package which cost18,800 was the price for booking a private room, excluding the food and drinks. Having meals in the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant on Jin Ling Commercial Street was all about taste and ss! The 888 package could only afford the buyer a seat in the lobby. Depending on which package one picked, the seating and the level of service would of course be different. The lowest-priced package was actually good enough for Chen Hao. This manager didn''t look snobbish. She asked the question simply because she was curious. She could tell that they were acquaintances. ¡°Of course we know him. This fellow is a poor loser who is very popr in Jin Ling College. He is so poor that he can''t even afford his lunch and tuition fees.'' "That''s right. We can''t believe he is here for dinner in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant!" said the two pretty girls sitting behind. Wang Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Weiwei, don''t be so mean. What if Chen Hao was here to run Xu Nan''s errand, which is to book a private room?" ¡°Oh right!" The manager smiled at Chen Hao then and asked, "Sir, are you booking the room under your name or under your friend''s name? I don''t mean any offense, I just want to get your confirmation. And which package do you want?" Chen Hao looked at this manager. She was considered politepared to the others. He nodded his head and said, "I''m making the reservation under my name. I''m having guests tonight, and I need three tables." "Damn, under your name? And you''re having guests? Hehe..." Jiang Weiwei crossed her arms. Although they had paid their bills, they didn''t want to leave. They wanted to know if Chen Hao really made the reservation. Chen Hao didn''t care about them at all. Chen Hao heard that Jiang Weiwei and her friends had the 1 ,888 package dinner. But Chen Hao thought that the dishes weren''t enough for them after scanning through the menu of this package. If1 want to treat them to a better meal, I should get a more expensive package. He made up his mind and immediately said, "I''ll go for the 3,888 package. I need three nice private rooms!" ¡°Ok sir. You have to pay at least 10,000 as a deposit." The manager smiled gently. Jiang Weiwei and the others were stunned. This b*stard took the package which is more expensive than Wang Yang''s? And he even booked three private rooms! Are you going to eat only potatoes after booking such an expensive package? Insane! He''s mad! Does he have enough money? What is he bragging about? Chen Hao didn''t even look at them. He took out 10,000 from his bag directly and ced it in front of the manager. Jiang Weiwei was taken aback. "Fine. Since you are able to afford eating here, you don''t have to think about applying for student subsidies anymore! Let''s see how you are going to pay for the tuition fees!" "Thank you for the concern. Regarding the tuition fees, I''ve paid it already." Chen Hao had nothing to say to her No doubt that she was pretty, but she was too arrogant and she despised the poor. On the contrary, the girl named Su Xintong whom he met in the hall was quite nice. That girl left a great impression on him. She was pretty and quiet. Just looking at her could make Chen Hao''s heart elerate. Too bad that she wasn''t here today. Jiang Weiwei widened her eyes. "Pardon me? You paid the tuition fees? And you just spent 10,000? Does that mean you have tens of thousands? How... how could that be?" ¡°Oh, I won the lottery!" Chen Hao had no choice but to lie. If he didn''t exin, he would never hear the end of this. He used the same lie. "Won a lottery? How much have you won?" Jiang Weiwei asked impatiently. Chen Hao''s behavior is too abnormal. He is being too generous in spending money. It cost him 10,000 just to book three rooms. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Moreover, the food and drinks are not included yet. Of course they have to spend on the food and drinks if they are eating in the restaurant. In that case, three tables will cost him around 60,000. Therefore, I''m pretty sure that Chen Hao won more than 100,000. No, judging from his arrogance in spending, he should have won at least 200,000 or even more! ¡°Erm, not much, it''s all here!" Chen Haoughed awkwardly and turned away to leave, carrying his bag. Why should I waste my time here exining to Jiang Weiwei? I really don''t want to have anything to do with her. "Humph! What''s the big deal of winning a lottery? You''re nothingpared to the descendants from rich families." Jiang Weiwei was displeased because Chen Hao was being snobbish and ignoring her. "Hehe, Weiwei, there''s no need to be angry at him! Let me tell Xu Nan about thister and he will surely teach him a lesson!" Wang Yang said coldly. "That''s right, he only won a few hundred thousand. Why is he being so arrogant? No one cares about his money!" Jiang Weiwei''s friends scoffed. But Jiang Weiwei had made up her mind to investigate the matter. She wanted to know how much money he won by all means! She felt so uneasy about it! In the meantime, Chen Hao had gone back to his college in a taxi. His afternoon lecture was a pleasant one as he could feel the people around him stopped looking at him distastefully. In fact, there was a sense of jealousy from a small group of people. "Chen Hao, which restaurant have you booked? Don''t tell us it''s a normal low- ss restaurant?" After the lecture ended, Xu Nan, Blondie and his gang came to him and asked. Most of the ssmates in the lecture hall looked at Chen Hao curiously too. Chen Haoughed and said,¡°No way, this is my first treat, so it has to be grand. I have reserved tables in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant!" "What? Homecook Kitchen Restaurant?" Xu Nan was stunned. The other ssmates also stared at him in surprise. "Chen Hao, do you mean the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant on Jin Ling Commercial Street?" Yang Xia strode toward him and asked coldly. Homecook Kitchen Restaurant was a five- star restaurant. To reserve a table, it cost up to 20,000 excluding the food and drinks. Chen Hao had only won 200,000 for his lottery. He had to spend at least half of it if he was going to treat everyone. Despite the fact that Yang Xia was no longer Chen Hao''s girlfriend, she felt anguished that Chen Hao had spent100,000. She wasn''t distressed that Chen Hao was going to spend such a huge amount of money. She was distressed solely because it was a big amount. Just like how disturbed she felt when Chen Hao bought a bag that cost 360,000. Yang Xia thought that this money was supposed to be spent on her one day. "Yes, that''s the ce!" Chen Hao smiled. "Mother f*cker, are you crazy?" Yang Xia growled and looked at him like he was a moron. "Hehe, Young Master Chen is so benevolent! Oh Young Master Chen, can we bring our girlfriends or boyfriends along?" Although Xu Nan was behaving reverently, it didn''t hide his contempt toward Chen Hao. Yang Hui then spoke up, "Damn, aren''t you ashamed to even ept Chen Hao''s invite?" "Yang Hui, we''re happy that Chen Hao has won the lottery. Since it''s his treat, how could we not ept it?" Xu Nanughed. Chen Hao had no choice but said, "Sure, it''s alright if you want toe. Your girlfriends are weed too!" Chen Hao knew what Xu Nan was up to. However, he just let Xu Nan be since he had promised to treat them. "Hurry!" Everyone in the ss was jubnt. In contrast, Yang Xia looked indifferent. Chen Hao didn''t seem to mind how much he was spending but she was irritated when she thought about the money that could have been hers. Chen Hao was really annoying her! Fine! Since it''s your treat, I''ll bring along Lu Chen to enjoy the food and drinks there. I''ll eat as much as possible until you be penniless tonight! I don''t have to feel uneasy about you winning the 200,000 lottery by then. Yang Xia thought. Xu Nan had the same thought as well. After the discussion, someone went to inform Lu Chen. The counselor, Meng Cairu was there as well. She drove Xu Nan and the others there. Chen Hao, Yang Hui and the others booked a car ride on Uber to Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. "Hell, he really booked the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant!" Xu Nan did not expect that. So be it, he thought. It''s in line with my n anyway. "Mr. Chen, I''m afraid that three rooms are not enough as you have so many guests. I believe you will need one more room!" The manager came to Chen Hao and said in a hurry. "Alright then. Add one more room please." This was the first time he was profligate after knowing he was a descendant of a wealthy family. "Chen Hao, if you are adding one more room, it should be the deluxe room since our counselor is here too, don''t you think so?" Xu Nan grinned at Chen Hao. "That''s right. The counselor is our senior. How can she be on the same level as us, the ordinary students?" Xu Nan and the gang kicked up the fuss. While Meng Cairu crossed her arms and waited for Chen Hao''s response. Yang Hui and his friends held themselves from arguing with Xu Nan and the gang since the counselor was here too. Chen Hao was about to nod when Lu Chen stepped in and sneered, ¡°No doubt that you should add another deluxe room for the sake of the counselor. Chen Hao, if you can''t afford it, how about we split the bill for the deluxe room? You won''t have to feel bad about your money then." Lu Chen derided. As he wasn''t in the same ss as Chen Hao, he didn''t dare to be as brazen as Xu Nan. If they split the bill for the deluxe room, not only could Lu Chen let Chen Hao spend more money on food and drinks, he would also be able to satisfy his own ego. It was all about his own pride! Indeed, Meng Cairu looked at Lu Chen in full admiration at this moment. Yang Xia felt proud of him too. At the end of the day, a loser upstart will always be a loser. Look at how my Lu Chen behaves, he is indeed the descendant of a rich family! "Split the bill? I''m fine with that if you insist." Chen Hao smiled nonchntly. Since Lu Chen wanted to challenge him, he didn''t mind taking up the challenge. Anyhow, he was the owner of this restaurant.. Chapter 25 Cant Afford To Pay Chapter 25 Can''t Afford To Pay Chen Hao then added a deluxe room with a price starting at 18,800. The people who were seated in the deluxe rooms were naturally the well-known students in the ss. Xu Nan, Blondie and the gang; Yang Xia, Lu Chen, Meng Cairu; Chen Hao''s roommates and Ma Xiaonan. Other students could only go to the rooms that cost 3,888. "Young Master Lu, since we''re splitting the bills of this room, who shall be the one to order?" Chen Hao asked with a smile. "Ha, ha, don''t you have any manners? Lu Chen is the guest today. Although we are going to split the bills, Young Master Lu should be the one to order first. Why? Are you afraid that he would order too much and you can''t afford to pay your share?" Yang Xia said contemptuously. Of course Lu Chen had to order it first. Yang Xia was afraid that Chen Hao would order cheap food like hot and sour potato shreds. If that was the case, the n to spend all his money would not work. In fact, Lu Chen had already discussed with Xu Nan and his friends while they were in the car. Other than paying 60,000 to 80,000 for the room booking, they wanted to make Chen Hao pay another 70,000 to 80,000. They wanted Chen Hao to spend 1 50,000 to 160,000 or even more. Therefore, adding another room and splitting the bills were all part of Lu Chen''s n. He wanted to join forces with Xu Nan to fight Chen Hao with their wealth. It should be a piece of cake! ¡°Okay! Then you order first!¡± Chen Hao smiled wryly. Yang Hui, who was on the side, kept tugging at Chen Hao to remind him. But Chen Hao shook his head at them, indicating that they didn''t have to worry. He knew his limits. "Then I will skip the courtesy!" Lu Chen took the menu and looked at thest page first. The signature dishes were usually at the back. The further below it was, the more expensive it would be. "One Australian big lobster! And one Australian abalone!" While talking, Xu Nan and the gang looked at Chen Hao cheerfully. They wanted to see his tangled face. However, there was no sign of fear on Chen Hao''s face. Although Lu Chen was cing the order, he was actually calcting silently. After all, he only had 20,000 or 30,000 with him, which was a few months'' worth of his pocket money while Xu Nan had around10,000. They had a total of 40,000. In other words, today''s quota shouldn''t exceed 80,000. Else, he would be digging his own grave. Lu Chen reasonably ordered a few expensive dishes on the back of the menu. After calcting, it was almost 30,000. The rest can be spent on alcohol and drinks. He then passed the menu to Chen Hao coldly. He had to make Chen Hao spend most of his money today with all his might. Otherwise, he would be ufortable. "What? You only ordered a few signature dishes? These four dishes don''t even exceed 20,000!¡± Chen Hao chuckled. "What do you mean? If you are so daring, why don''t you pick two more signature dishes from these four pages? Our Lu Chen doesn''t care. I''m afraid you wouldn''t dare to do so!" As soon as Yang Xia saw Chen Hao sneering at Lu Chen, she immediately challenged him. The tutor Meng Cairu was swiping her phone at the side. She shook her head slightly. Chen Hao is really stupid. He doesn''t know the height of the world at all. How can youpete with Lu Chen with that little money you have? "By the way, waiter, how many signature dishes are there in these four pages?" The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, there are twenty dishes in total. They are all the top dishes in our restaurant. These dishes are exclusive in the deluxe room. Usually, only the tycoons would order four dishes at the same time. The price is already 10,000 to20,000! Do you have anymon dishes that you want to order?" ¡°Oh I see!" Chen Hao closed the menu. "Well then, just serve all the signature dishes on thest four pages of the menu! All twenty dishes. We''ll order again if we need to!" he said. "What?!" The waiter''s eyes widened and the ordering gadget in his hand fell to the ground. Twenty dishes totaled 100,000! Damn! We have never served food like this before! "My God, Chen Hao, are you sick? These20 dishes, plus the room it will cost nearly120,000!" Xu Nan was shocked. Lu Chen was worried too. His money was limited as he had just calcted. 1 was thinking of ying with Chen Hao slowly but I didn''t expect Chen Hao to be so ruthless! Xu Nan noticed Lu Chen''s expression change. He had be silent. Chen Hao asked with a smile, "How is it Young Master Lu? That''s all with the dishes. Let''s order some drinks. Why are you quiet? You don''t think it''s too expensive, do you? Ha, ha." "Do I think it''s expensive? In your dreams! I''m just afraid that 200,000 isn''t enough for you to pay for the other three rooms! Then we''ll all be disgraced!" Lu Chen retorted furiously. How can I be ridiculed by a poor loser who is looked down by everyone? Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. I can''t stand it! "That''s right, Chen Hao, don''t you know your limits? Lu Chen is only paying his share of the bill for this deluxe room. Don''t forget that there are three rooms downstairs. Although they didn''t order the signature dishes, the food and drinks for each table will cost you more than 20,000!" "You will suffer because of your pride. With only 200,000, why even bothering to thismercial street? It''s not even enough to pay for dinner at Homecook Kitchen Restaurant!" Some of the girls who were close to Yang Xia began to worry. "Rest assured, of course I know my limits. Young Master Lu will split the bills with me, so there shouldn''t be any problem. Okay, since Young Master Lu has no problem with it, let''s order drinks then!" ¡°By the way, any rmendation on the red wine you have here?" Chen Hao turned to the waiter and asked. "We have a vintage 1995 collection. It costs about 10,000 per bottle! It''s considered as high-grade wine...¡± As he noticed Chen Hao being so generous, the waiter directly rmended the expensive one. Firstly, it was to let Chen Hao retreat from difficulties, because these dishes were too expensive. Secondly, it was fine if he chose not to. The sales would be added to hismission anyhow. 10,000 per bottle? Even Meng Cairu and Yang Xia were surprised. "Chen Hao, let me tell you, you''d better count the money in your pocket. Make sure you have enough money to pay for these!" Yang Xia was afraid of spending money to this extent. She was afraid that Chen Hao would have an impulse to order two bottles of the expensive red wine. "Bring me a box!" Chen Hao''s words terrified everyone on the spot. There were 6 bottles in a box. That''s another 60,000! My God! Chapter 26 Welcome, Young Master Chen Chapter 26 Wee, Young Master Chen "I-I''m not staying here!" Yang Xia took one look at Lu Chen and understood his meaning. It was so embarrassing! Yang Xia hastily shook his head. "Dear, I''ve been so good to you so why don''t you be good for me too, and wait here for just a moment? I''ll get the money, drive back to pick you up and spend the night together!" Lu Chen subtly eyed Chen Hao as he said this. It was a reminder to Yang Xia. We''re only here today because we want to humiliate Chen Hao. Don''t mess this up. Right, of course! Yang Xia calmed down at the thought of Chen Hao. My new boyfriend has to be a hundred times-no, ten thousand times better than Chen Hao! This is not the time to make a fool of myself in front of him. ¡°Fine, I''m staying! I know you''re loaded anyway!" Yang Xia raised her voice on purpose. Realizing that Yang Xia had acquiesced, Lu Chen hightailed it out of there. Yang Xia wanted to ask the rest of her friends to apany her. But Meng Cairu said it was bad to have so many of them out and about, so she took the rest of them home. Chen Hao was thest to leave. To be honest, it hurt him to see Yang Xia like this. Really, it hurt! Lu Chen just left her at the restaurant all alone in the middle of the night. Chen Hao felt a pang in his heart just thinking about. They had dated for three years, after all. He''d be lying if he said that love wasn''t real. Even if he constantly felt disappointed with her. Hatred, even. Even if he kept reminding himself that she was a heartless backstabber. But it really bothered him to see her like this. If Yang Xia could find it in her to beg him for help,Chen Hao would probably have softened right there and then. But Yang Xia did nothing more than shoot him a cold look and hugged her shoulders, which was her way of saying, ''Just you wait, Lu Chen wille for me soon.!'' Ah, well! Chen Hao sighed.If this is how it is, then there''s no point making a fool of myself. Maybe his heart was hurting for a different Yang Xia.Not the materialistic Yang Xia she was right now,but the considerate, affectionate Yang Xia. Chen Hao left with a bitter taste in his mouth. Back at his dorm, he thought about it some more. It was supposed to be a great day for him, especially after he got his payback from Lu Chen in front of all his ssmates. So why wasn''t he even a little bit happy? Just then, Yang Hui came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Chen Hao, my man! Just wanted to check on your wallet after that spending spree. I mean, none of us even came close to stopping you back there! Although, it would be nice if you used that 200,000 to pay for your studies!" Chen Hao smiled, "What? I never said I won 200,000.¡± "What?" The boys instantly scooted closer, all with surprised looks. "Heh, I''d actually won much more than this. This dinner may have cost me several hundred thousand, but it didn''t really put a dent in my pocket at ll." Chen Hao exined to them."Then how much did you win, Chen?""Yeah, man. Don''t leave us hanging here, just tell you..." Yang Hui and the boys were sprawled all over Chen Hao''s bed, as if to say, ''You''re not sleeping until we get answers.'' Chen Hao, resigned, held up a hand in front of them. "Five fingers? You won 500,000?¡± Yang Hui and the others were shocked."Night, guys. I know it''s Saturday tomorrow, but I''m still waking up early to study at the library!" Chen Hao yawned nonchntly and pulled the nket right over his head. "Hang on, was it 500,000 or 5,00000?¡± The boys said frantically. It took a lot of pestering and smacking Chen Hao through the nket before theygave up. Yelling aside, it doesn''t really matter how many zeroes were behind that five. He''s rich, that''s all we need to know. They thought to themselves. Meanwhile, Chen Hao was still stubbornly awake. Thinking about Yang Xia, of all things. I wonder if she''s still there. Chen Hao had investigated Lu Chen before. His father ran a factory and gave him about five or six thousand a month as allowance, so Lu Chen should have no more than thirty to forty thousand in his savings. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. It won''t be enough. And judging by his character, there was no way he''de back for her. Chen Hao thought Yang Xia would call him. But she didn''t, not even at midnight. Hah. Why am I getting ahead of myself like this? Lu Chen''s the one she loves, not you, loser. Chen Hao thought with a weight on his chest. The next day, Saturday. None of his roommates were up yet. Early in the morning, Chen Hao got a call. But it wasn''t Yang Xia who called him, it was Li Zhenguo! Chen Hao got up and took the call in the washroom. "Morning, Young Master Chen!" Li Zhenguo greeted him reverentially. "General Manager Li." Chen Hao smiled. "I was just about to call you, and here you are." "Your wish is mymand, Young Master!" Chen Hao recounted what happened at the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant yesterday. ¡°ls that so? Actually, Young Master, you didn''t really spend sixty to seventy thousand. That top-notch red wine you said cost sixty thousand? It''s actually produced by one of our own distilleries overseas, so it''s really just a thousand''s worth in production cost! Ha, ha." Li Zhenguo smiled. To be honest, even if Young Master Chen was finally spending his fortune, a few hundred thousand was a pitifully small amount. At least he could tell the CEO that there has been progress, right? "Young Master Chen, would you like me to return the thousands you spent? You just have to say the word..." Li Zhenguo said, carefully gauging Chen Hao''s reaction. "Ahem, never mind. Just put it all on the restaurant''s tab." I did think of asking for that money back, actually, Chen Hao thought. But judging by Li Zhenguo''s tone, that amount I spent was mere peanuts to them. I''ll only cheapen my status if I insisted on it. Might as well put it on the tab. The money Chen Xiao gave me came from these businesses, anyway. "Anyway, why did you call me today, General Manager Li?" Chen Hao asked. "There is a minor issue, Young Master. All the business owners on Jin Ling Commercial Street have heard that your years of being raised poor are over, and they''re throwing a homing party of sorts for you. Since today''s a Saturday, I was wondering if you would have the time to attend?" Li Zhenguo asked softly. I was nning on going out today to take my mind off things and whatnot. But since they''re already nning that party, it wouldn''t be nice if I spoiled the fun. And l do need to start socializing more. Otherwise, I''d be like a dumb little boy. So he agreed, right then and there. To make things more grand,the party wasn''t held at the Chen family''s ownmercial street but at an exceptionally big hotel in Jin Ling City. The Magnificent Restaurant! After saying bye to Yang Hui and the others, Chen Hao went downstairs for a quick spin before he headed over. As he passed by the female dorms,Chen Hao looked up just in time to see someone exiting one of the rooms. It was Yang Xia. Huh, why is she back at the dorm? Chen Hao thought Yang Xia would have stayed the night with her savior Lu Chen. That was the whole reason Chen Hao had that bitter taste in his mouth. Yang Xia also noticed Chen Hao and said, "Oh ho,Chen Hao! Side hustling on a weekend? Did you really burn through that much cashst night?" "Let me tell you,you are no match for Lu Chen. Do you know that he came back within the hourst night? We were going to move out of here, and if it weren''t for my period? Hmm..." Yang Xia gloated at Chen Hao,choosing her words specifically to hurt him. I, Yang Xia, will always be way out of your league! "Alright!" Chen Hao let out a bitterugh.I''m such a fool. Suddenly, a white BMW 3 Series zoomed through the schoolyard. After it came to a stop, Lu Chen rolled down his window to beam at Yang Xia. Of course, he also noticed Chen Hao immediately. "Heh, you thought I''d make myself aughing stockst night, didn''t you, Chen Hao? Sorry to disappoint you, but did you really think I''d be short on cash?" Lu Chen sneered. As he said so, he fished out a diamond ring from his pocket. "Yang Xia! Do you like this ring that | got you?" "Wow, a diamond ring! It must have cost you at least ten thousand! I guess it goes to show just how rich you are, Lu Chen. Unlike certain lottery winners." "Of course, Xia. I''ll take you somece good today, and we can shop ''til we drop. Some people can''t afford to do that, but we can! Get in!" Yang Xia looked so excited, she didn''t need to be told twice. Lu Chen shot Chen Hao a condescending look, then stepped on the elerator and left. Yang Xia was practically buzzing with excitement. "Chen, tell me how you got the money overnight. And so much of it, too! Did your father give it to you?" Lu Chen chuckled, driving with one hand and using his phone with the other. Just as he subtly deleted an app,he said, "Don''t worry about it. All you need to know is that Chen Hao has nothing on me!" "Wow, I feel so blessed right now!" Meanwhile,Chen Hao had lost his desire to go outside after getting roasted by the two of them. Where did Lu Chen get all that money, though? Heh... Why are you thinking about this? Chen Haoughed at himself. He went straight to the library, and didn''t leave for quite a while. Around noon, he called a cab to the Magnificent Restaurant. It had nothing on Jin Ling Commercial Street, but it came close. The time he spent studying and in traffic, though, had really added up by the time he got there. Chen Hao had to rush because he was already several minuteste. Bam! ¡°Ow! What is wrong with you?" Chen Hao had only gently pushed one of those revolving doors, but that was enough to hit ady behind him. Hard. It wasn''t long before a crowd formed around him and the furiousdy... Chapter 27 The Freeloader Chapter 27 The Freeloader "Sorry..." Chen Hao quickly apologized. As he looked up to meet her eye, he was struck by thedy''s gorgeous looks. She was wearing a dress that reached just below her knees. She had a tall, slender body and long hair covering her shoulders. She looked roughly his own age, too. She''s one of the prettiest women I''ve ever seen, Chen Hao thought. And I haven''t seen that many of them, so that''s saying something. "Sorry? Is that all you have to say, you loser?!" Thedy yelled in fury. Right now, she was even gently massaging her chest. She had bumped her chest right into Chen Hao''s back, and it was burning with pain. Sure, that was her own doing, but the sight of Chen Hao''s unfaltering clothes only worsened her mood. "f1 weren''t in a hurry, you''d be dead right now!" the girl shouted. For good measure, she stepped forward and shoved him hard. "Out of my way, you damned loser!" After that, she headed straight for the elevator. Didn''t realize such a pretty girl could be so violent. Chen Haoughed bitterly. But he was headed for the elevator too, so he strode right after her. "What are you doing in here?" To Chen Hao''s surprise, his entry was immediately met with a hostile gaze. As if to say, ''A loser like you, in an elevator with me? What a disgrace to my presence.'' "Oh, I have some business upstairs." Chen Hao said nothing more after that. The girl even turned away from him. Chen Hao snuck a nce at her, then nonchntly averted his gaze. When the girl wasn''t looking, he snuck another nce. This is exciting. Serves you right, you crazy girl. You''re the one who bumped into the door for nos reason, and you have the nerve to yell at me? If I ogle you for a bit... well, that''s just interest on my payback, right? Chen Hao tilted his head and was about to take another peek. However, the girl''s feet were pointed right at him, and she had already turned to face him,plete with a re of hatred and disgust. "You''re being such a creep at such a dignified ce like this, you poor loser! How dare you ogle me?" The girl was practically fuming. As if it wasn''t enough that he''s a loser, he''s a disgusting creep too. I''m about to lose my mind! "Who said I was ogling you? Am I guilty just for looking in your direction?" Chen Hao retorted nervously. Smack! The girl pped him without hesitation. "Damn hooligan! Stay right where you are! Just you wait!" With that, she stopped the elevator midway and stormed out. "Fuck! What''s that pretty face for if you''re going to be this temperamental?!" Chen Hao cupped a hand to his cheek. If you weren''t a girl, I would have pped you right back! Oh, bother! Then again, this is what you get for being such a creep. Looks like I¡¯ll need a new girlfriend after Yang Xia. Chen Hao mused. Before he knew it, the elevator was stopping at the 7th floor, where General Manager Li told him where the VIP lounge would be. And by ''lounge'', he meant one the size of a grand hall, perfect for hosting parties and otherrge gatherings. There was an enormous crowd too. It was quite a lively scene, with male and female party goers of all ages mingling together. Chen Hao counted at least a hundred of a them. Meanwhile, the servers were darting here and there, with the ce full of self-service beverages, both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic kind. Unless Chen Hao was mistaken, these people were the business owners from Jin Ling Commercial Street. Chen Hao scanned the whole crowd, but Li Zhenguo was nowhere to be seen. He was about to call the general manager when he noticed the battery level on his phone: 0%. Oh, bother! I forgot to charge it after using it overnight! Never mind. I''ll just greet Li Zhenguo personally when I see him. The hall was full of banners that read something like ''We Await Your Guidance, Young Master Chen'' or "Wee Back,Young Master Chen'' Chen Hao didn''t know how to respond, except by grimacing and finding a corner seat to sit in.¡± I''ll have some drinks and fruits first The servers barely noticed Chen Hao''s eating and drinking in their haste. The heirs and heiresses of the Jin Ling Commercial Street bosses, however, did see him. "Hey, look at that guy. He''s been eating here for a while now, does anybody know him? Is he one of the business owners on Jin Ling Commercial Street?" "Well, I''ve never met him!" Thedies frowned. "One of the business owners? Have you seen what he''s wearing? Hell, he''s just a freeloading loser!" "Freeloading? No way! Do shameless people like that still exist?¡± "Of course they do, and I bet he''s one of them! Look at him! Wearing clothes like this and hiding in the corner!" "That''s right!" The clique of sessors gossiped away with condescending looks on their faces. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. "Our Commercial Street''s top dog, Young Master Chen Hao, ising here today! If this man disgraces him at the party." "What would Young Master Chen think of our parents?" "Especially if we let a rascal like him infiltrate the scene!" "Come on, let''s go confront him! Call for security, if we must!" A white-shirted, charismatic heir sneered. "Look, Yiyi is here!" A girt suddenly eximed, pointing to the entrance. "Over here, Yiyi!" She waved at Lin Yiyi. The boys practically lit up with her entrance. Lin Yiyi was wearing a knee-length dress and her long hair draped over her shoulders. Perfectly gorgeous, she looked divinest among the other girls. Her long, slender thighs were especially irresistible. Even older men couldn''t help but steal a nce or two. The boys were no better; their eyes were opened up so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets. "Yiyi! Took you long enough! I thought we had promised toe together?" "Hmm? Yiyi, why the long face?" the white-shirted youth asked softly, his face full of concern. "Humph! Don''t get me started! I was downstairs just now when I bumped into this creepy loser! Bloody hell, first he touched me you-know-where, then he ogled me in the elevator! I had topose myself in the washroom before I came up here!" Lin Yiyi fumed, face paling. But that was just half the story. For one thing, she only rushed out of the elevator just now because she really, really couldn''t stand being with Creepy Man one second longer. Also, the door frame she bumped into shifted her underclothing, so she had to readjust it in the washroom stalls. She was in a rage! "What the heck? That actually happened to you?!" The white shirted guy and the others were furious upon listening to her story. You must have a death wish, treating our goddess Yiyi like that! They had never so much as held Yiyi''s hand, too. "Wait here, Yiyi. We''re kicking out this freeloader first. After that, it''s straight to the CCTVs to find that bugger!" The white-shirted boy turned his gaze upon Chen Hao, who was in the middle of eating a fruit sd. "Yeah, let''s get this parasite out first!" The beautiful girls chimed in agreement... Chapter 28 Meet Young Master Chen Chapter 28 Meet Young Master Chen "A food thief?" Lin Yiyi was stunned. She immediately looked in the direction that the white-colored shirt man was pointing at. The moment she looked, her eyes immediately grew wider! "It''s him!" "Who''s he? Yiyi, do you know this food thief?" "Humph, he''s the wretched guy I mentioned just now!" Lin Yiyi said angrily while walking up to Chen Hao. The rest of the Young Masters anddies also followed suit. On the other hand, Chen Hao was eating happily away while thinking how he would greet the executives of Jin Ling Commercial Street. After all, Chen Hao had never experienced such a major asion before. Suddenly, a shadow fell upon his eyes. He saw a crowd of people gathering in front of him. The moment he lifted his eyes, he saw that the leader of the crowd was none other than that beautiful yet violent girl he had met in the hall. "It''s you!" "Why are you here?" Chen Hao said in surprise. "You... Not only are you despicable, you even snuck in here to steal some food. Don''t think you can walk out of here today!" Lin Yiyi roared in anger, "Sisters, this is the person who peeped at me in the elevator!" "Humph! Let''s teach him a lesson!" After uttering those words, 5 or 6 beautifuldies, with an extraordinary air around them, led by Lin Yiyi,unched themselves upon Chen Hao and started grabbing, scratching, choking and tearing him apart! The Young Masters were much calmer byparison, the elders were there after all. If Chen Hao dared to fight back, it wouldn''t be toote to join in the fight! "What are you guys doing? Don''t think I won''t hit..." Chen Hao''s hair was a mess and his clothes were torn apart. His face was pinched until it was covered with bruises. Just when he was about to get angry, Lin Yiyi pped him. "How dare you peep at me, how dare you! I will beat you to death!" Mad woman! They are a bunch of mad women! Chen Hao covered his head while they continued to beat him until he was crouching on the floor. "Stop it!" At this moment, a middle aged man stepped forward and broke up the fight immediately. In actual fact, a lot of people had gathered around the scene. This middle-age bespectacled man looked like a refined gentleman with an extraordinary air around him. His voice was loud and resounding, causing the raging Lin Yiyi and the rest of thedies to stop immediately. "Father, stay out of this. Let me beat this despicable guy to death. Did you know that he peeped at me just now while we were downstairs?! He even snuck in here to steal some food!" Lin Yiyi stomped her foot angrily. Seeing Lin Yiyi like that, Lin Yun was helpless. Lin Yun knew that Yiyi, his daughter, had a bad temper. However, she had a strong sense of justice. The thing she hated the most were vagabonds and sleazebags. He recalled the incidentst year whereby Lin Yiyi saw a rich boy bullying her female ssmates. In that incident, Yiyi directly destroyed his manhood. Hence, when Lin Yun saw that his daughter was hitting somebody, he quickly came over to break up the fight. "What''s happening here? Young man, who are you?" Lin Yun frowned slightly and looked at the messy looking Chen Hao. Indeed, he wasn''t anybody he knew from the Jin Ling Commercial Street. Lin Yun knew most of the younger generation from the Jin Ling Commercial Street. "I am..." Just when Chen Hao wanted to tell him his identity, Lin Yiyi had already lifted her legs to kick Chen Hao. Chen Hao quickly blocked her attack. Fuck. If it weren''t for his fast reflexes, he wouldn''t be able to bear children anymore! This crazy woman! I will get my revenge! Chen Hao vehemently thought in his heart. Lin Yiyi was not done yet. At this moment, a team of people led by Li Zhenguo entered. "Mr. Li!" "Mr. Li!" Everybody in the hall regarded him with respect. Even the group of Young Masters stood to one side respectfully. Only then did Lin Yiyi stop. "What happened here? Why is there a crowd?" Li Zhenguo''s aura was extremely powerful. At this moment, he nced in the direction of Lin Yiyi. "Luckily Young Master Chen is not here yet, otherwise what would he say if he sees your hedonistic behavior?!" Li Zhenguo immediately lectured the group of Young Masters in white-colored clothes and his group of friends. The young man in white-colored clothes looked aggrieved, for he did not even lift a finger! But he could only endure it. At that moment, Lin Yun changed the topic and said, "General Manager Li, I thought you said that Young Master Chen was going to arrive soon?" Li Zhenguo coldly stated, "I could not reach him as his mobile phone was switched off!" "Is there a chance that Young Master Chen would not being here today?" The crowd looked glum. This was their best opportunity to meet Young Master Chen. Apparently, it wasn''t as easy as they thought. Young Master Chen was beyond them. He was indeed a difficult person to invite. It seemed that he knew what the crowd was thinking. Hence, Li Zhenguo said, "Rest assureddies and gentleman, Young Master Chen is not who you think he is. He is a gentle person. Since he said he woulde, he will definitelye!" After uttering those words, he turned his head to look at the young man. "Fei Hong, think of another way to contact Young Master Chen!" Obviously Li Feihong came too, he quickly nodded his head respectfully. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Mr. Li, a person snuck into the gathering today, how should he be dealt with?" At this moment, Lin Yiyi looked at Li Zhenguo in a coquettish way. "Oh? How would my niece like to handle this matter then?" Li Zhenguo looked at Lin Yiyi while smiling. Lin Yiyi was beautiful and generous, lively and pleasant, but most importantly, she had a strong sense of justice, hence Li Zhenguo treated her well. "Humph! I suggest turning him over to Mr. Fei Hong. We will bring him to Mr. Fei Hong''s Dojo and give him a good beating!" Li Feihong couldn''t help but smile helplessly. Li Zhenguo gave the food thief a nce. He saw that his face was beaten beyond recognition. He bitterly smiled and said,"Okay then, Fei Hong, follow what Yiyi says then.. but first let''s find Young Master Chen!" "Uh... General Manager Li, you don''t have to look anymore, I am here!" Chen Hao chose this moment to interrupt them. Bam! When Li Zhenguo heard this voice, his whole body shook. Then, he looked in the direction of the messy looking Chen Hao. His eyes grew wide. Everybody started to look at each other. They did not understand the situation at all. "Humph, you sleazy scumbag, why are you so stubborn? Who did you say you were again?" Lin Yiyi said with contempt. "Haha, you are indeed a good actor. Still keeping up the charade?" The girls were quite angry. Li Zhenguo snapped out of his stupor. He had already turned a deaf ear to their words. He even looked confused. He was supposed to wee Young Master Chen today, yet the Young Master ended up getting beaten? He immediately walked to the front of Chen Hao and shouted respectfully, "Young Master Chen, I am sorry!" He bent forward immediately at a 90 degree angle. "What?" The entire crowd was in an uproar. Lin Yiyi and the group of Young Masters anddies were stunned. This person...was actually Chen Hao, the covert CEO of Jin Ling Commercial Street? His name was known throughout the Jiang Nan Province and he was the greatest patron behind Jin Ling City''s General Manager, Li Zhenguo. Lin Yun''s face had already gone pale. I''m Lin Yun, from Jin Ling Gold Bank. It''s my honor to meet you, Young Master Chen!" He bowed forward at a 108 degree. I''m doomed, my daughter has beaten Young Master Chen to a pulp! "It''s an honor to meet you, Young Master Chen!" The rest of the rich people bowed down simultaneously. Only Lin Yiyi and the rest of the group were left standing as they haven''t quite recovered from their shock yet. At this moment, Chen Hao looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "So Miss, how do you think we should handle this?" Chapter 29 The Thought of Buying a Car Chapter 29 The Thought of Buying a Car "I-I didn''t know." Lin Yiyi was angry and embarrassed at the same time. Her emotions were in a turmoil. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined that this disgusting sleazebag would be the famous Young Master Chen. He was the absolute embodiment of a dandy kid from a rich family! "Young Master Chen, I apologize on behalf of my daughter''s misconduct just now. I hope you can punish her!" Lin Yun bowed down, not daring to straighten his back. To be honest, most of Chen Hao''s anger had dissipated when he saw Lin Yiyi and Lin Yun like this. Because if he were to get to the bottom of the matter, Chen Hao was indeed a bit despicable just now. I mean, Lin Yun couldn''t help it if his daughter was beautiful. But this was the first time in his fucking life that he was beaten up by a bunch of women. ording to Chen Hao''s character, he would try to resolve the situation there and then and swallow his anger.However, Li Zhenguo happened to understand his thoughts. He came close to Chen Hao and whispered, "Young Master Chen, you must punish them. Because your Chen family''s tradition believes in an eye for an eye. If you do not punish them now and your sister gets wind of this in the future,then her revenge would not be as simple as you think!" He looked at Lin Yun who was still bending forward, not daring to straighten his back. Chen Hao finally understood. It seemed that if he did not punish Lin Yiyi and the rest of them, these bosses were afraid of what was toe next. Alright then, he would mete out the punishment. Chen Hao looked at Lin Yiyi and the rest of the girls and sneered. "Zhenguo, could I trouble you to get me a bigger room, then bring all these girls into that room?!" Li Zhenguo immediately carried out his orders. Lin Yiyi bit her lips softly. It seemed like she knew what was in store for her. She was so embarrassed yet angry at the same time. On the other hand, after listening to his words, Lin Yun and the rest of the fathers actually heaved a sigh of relief. Everybody understood what Chen Hao meant. But was this considered a punishment? It seemed like a reward instead. As long as his daughter was able to stand out from the crowd after providing her ''services'' and if she was able to attract Young Master Chen''s attention, then their Lin family would be able to turn the tables around. They could even take this opportunity to climb up thedder and rece Li Zhenguo. They might even obtain control over Jin Ling Commercial Street. Obviously, most of the girls'' fathers thought this way. They kept hinting at their daughters. At this moment, Li Zhenguo had prepared the private room for him. Chen Hao brought Lin Yiyi and the 4 girls into the private room. Li Zhenguo and the rest of the crowd naturally waited outside. "Young Master Chen... W-what do you n to do?" one of them asked shyly. "Haha, what do you think? How dare the five of you ask me what I am going to do to you after beating me up like that?" Since he had no choice but to vent his anger, then why shouldn''t he vent it all out now? "The five of you, lie down on the bed this instant and lift your bottoms up!" "Ah!" Lin Yiyi clenched her fist slightly. This Young Master Chen was the worst scumbag she had ever met. If it weren''t for her worries about her family copsing, she would take him down with her even if he was the Young Master Chen. Haha, Lin Yiyi did not imagine that she would one day be forced to perform these sleazy acts with another person although she scorned these acts herself in the past. But she still gritted her teeth and obeyed hismands. All the girlsy down properly. Smack! Chen Hao pped their bottoms. Then, he gave them a few ps continuously. He pped them until their faces were red. It was painful but they had to endure it. Lin Yiyi nearly cried after her bottom was pped by Chen Hao. "This is what you get for hitting me. I dare you to hit me again in the future!" One p after another. Chen Hao finally vented all his anger. If he really wanted to do something shameful, then it must be with Lin Yiyi. However, Chen Hao wasn''t that kind of person. But he couldn''t avoid punishing them, hence Chen Hao could onlye up with this wicked sense of punishment to serve as a reminder to them. Cries... Half an hourter, the girls came out of the room, crying. All of them were holding their bottoms and they couldn''t hide the pain on their faces. All the Young Masters there were shocked. Tough! Young Master was one tough nail! Within half an hour, he had punished all of them until they could not walk anymore. The young man in white colored clothes also admired him secretly. Since Young Master Chen was interested in Lin Yiyi, he certainly had to back off. Today''s meal was getting interesting. When the rich businessmen, one of them being Lin Yun, found out that his daughter did not have sex with Chen Hao, his face was full of disappointment. "Young Master Chen, do you want me to get you a ride home?"Li Zhenguo asked. After today''s weing ceremony came to a perfect end, Li Zhenguo and a line of people followed behind Chen Hao. Chen Hao was about to nod. At this moment, a big bellied middle-aged man squeezed in. "Young Master Chen, allow my son to give you a ride home. His name is Bai Xiaofei. He studies in Jiang Nan College. It''s not far from Jin Ling College, and it''s just along the way." The middle-aged man did not care what kind of car a person with Young Master Chen''s status should sit in. In reality, this middle-aged man never thought that a person like Young Master Chen would even sit in his son''s car. The reason he did that was because he wanted his son''s name, Bai Xiaofei, to be heard by Young Master Chen, and that was enough for him. Bai Xiaofei was naturally the Young Master who wore the white- colored clothes just now. At this moment, he was standing shyly in front of Chen Hao. He was even rubbing his hands together. After all, Young Master Chen''s family''s background was too powerful! How could he not feel nervous? Chen Hao did not say anything, and he only nodded his head."Okay then, sorry to trouble you!" "What?! It''s no trouble at all!" Bai Xiaofei''s father was surprised and delighted. Bai Xiaofei was also excited. He immediately brought his car. It was a Ferrari. It was worth approximately 5 million. "I say Bai fatso, how could you let Young Master Chen sit in this kind of car?" When they saw this, a lot of people were unwilling to ept this. "Young Master Chen, I have a Rolls- Royce, please sit in my car!" "It''s true Young Master Chen, don''t sit in that kind of car!" The rest of the bosses started fighting among themselves. "It''s alright, this car is quite good for me. I will be returning to my college first, so let''s meet each other again next time!" Actually when Chen Hao saw the Ferrari, he couldn''t take his eyes off it. He had always wanted to buy a car, but he did not dare dream of a Ferrari. He only collected a bunch of posters of these cars, but he never had the opportunity to ride one of them before. Chen Hao futilely tried to avert his eyes but to no avail. He immediately got into the car. Bai Xiaofei gave a shout and they drove away. Seeing Chen Hao''s retreating figure, Lin Yiyi''s face was flushed with embarrassment, her feelings were in turmoil. The rest of the businessmen were full of respect. "I never expect Young Master Chen to be such a forgiving person. Besides that, he is also a humble person, and he definitely has a bright future ahead of him!" Bai Xiaofei was quite a hedonistic person by nature, but he kept a low profile in front of Chen Hao. Chen Hao did not allow him to drive him directly into the campuspound. After all, it was a 5 million Ferrari. Wouldn''t it be too eye-catching if he were to drive it into campus? This did not go well with Chen Hao''s reserved and humble character. He asked Bai Xiaofei to drop him in front of the college entrance. At the same time, Chen Hao felt awesome sitting in the car. He was so envious of him. Since his sister had given him a 20 million quota in his shopping card to spend by this month, why not buy a car for himself? Chen Hao walked toward his college while thinking about it. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. He did not notice that a pair of eyes had spotted him already. "Chen Hao, y-you better stop where you are now!" Chapter 30 Burning with Jealousy Chapter 30 Burning with Jealousy Chen Hao heard a girl calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Jiang Weiwei, the President of the Student Council of the Chinese Language Department. Obviously, Jiang Weiwei saw Chen Hao getting out of the Ferrari. She was looking at Chen Hao with a face with disbelief presently. There was shock in her eyes. "What''s the matter?" Chen Hao didn''t expect that he would still be seen even though he had asked Bai Xiaofei to drop him far away from school. In fact, he knew why Jiang Weiwei stopped him. She definitely wanted to ask him why he got out from a Ferrari. But Chen Hao continued to y dumb. As expect...... "Y-you... why were you in a Ferrari?" Jiang Weiwei directly asked. The impact Chen Hao gave to Jiang Weiwei in these few encounters was simply too big. First of all, Chen Hao had squandered the money that he won in Homecook Kitchen Restaurantst night. Then, Jiang Weiwei immediately snooped around and asked Chen Hao''s ssmates what had happened yesterday. The answer she got was Chen Hao had won the lottery. He had won 200,000. However, many students had already guessed that maybe Chen Hao had won more than 200,000. This made Jiang Weiwei feel irritated. How could Chen Hao, a poor guy, has such good luck? Is God blind? Having this kind of reaction was normal. If a person that you often bullied suddenly became better, you wouldn''t feel good about it. Jiang Weiwei had wanted to confront Chen Hao and get to the bottom of things. How much did he actually win? Unexpectedly, she happened to meet him as soon as she had left the school today. What was more, she saw him getting out of a Ferrari. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. "Oh, that was my friend''s car. He just happened to send me over!" Chen Hao said softly. "Haha, your friend''s car? Who is your friend? You want me to believe that you, Chen Hao, are actually friends with rich people?" Jiang Weiwei was not convinced. "Whatever! I don''t care if you believe it or not. Moreover, I don''t think it''s your business if I know any rich friends, right?" Chen Hao was speechless. This woman is extremely unreasonable. But Chen Hao also found that after he became rich in this period of time, his character was also changing imperceptibly. Before this, Chen Hao would never have had the courage to talk to Jiang Weiwei like this. Jiang Weiwei was really angry with Chen Hao''s tone. "You! Oh wow, Chen Hao, you really don''t know how to be appreciative. I was just afraid that you would be cheated by MLM organizations. Do you know how MLM organizations deceive a person? First, they will paint a picture of your ideal life and then please you with various means. Your life is done once you are indulged in vanity!" "Besides, as the president of our department, don''t I have the right to ask? If you really joined an MLM organization, it would smear our department''s name. You have to know that you are poor and short- sighted. You don''t know anything about the outside world!" Listening to Jiang Weiwei''s gracious and satirized words, Chen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I''ve told you everything. The car really belongs to a friend of mine!" "Okay! Let''s not talk about that for the moment. Let me ask you, what happened to the lottery you won spent I50,000 in one breath... Jiang Weiwei asked. "200,000? Who said I won 200,000? It''s just their guess. I only withdrew 200,000 in cash. Does it mean that I have just won200,000?" Chen Hao looked confident. Looking at his expression, Jiang Weiwei''s heart itched with disconcertment. Sure enough, it was just as I had guessed. To be able to spend 150,000 at a stretch, the lottery Chen Hao won must definitely be more than 200,000. "How much is it?" "It''s not convenient for me to tell you. In other words, it''s not too much! Well, President Jiang Weiwei, if there''s nothing else, please excuse me." Chen Hao acted like he didn''t care. Jiang Weiwei was about to explode. "Well, you are lucky to have won the lottery but how could you everpare with the real rich people like Wang Yang?" Jiang Weiwei stamped her feet angrily as she looked at Chen Hao''s attitude toward her. Wang Yang was also from a rich family. He wasn''t really capable but in Jiang Weiwei''s eyes, this descendant from a rich family was much better than Chen Hao who won the lottery. Honk! An Audi A6 stopped in front of Jiang Weiwei. When the window rolled down, Wang Yang''s well polished head came out. "Weiwei,your face doesn''t look good,are you not feeling well? Or are you not willing to apany me to get my Audi serviced? Wang Yang said softly. "No, Wang Yang, I''m just a little depressed. My mind is all jumbled up now. I can''t exin why I feel depressed. W-Why am I depressed?" Jiang Weiwei couldn''t express what she was feeling. Looking at the unhappy Jiang Weiwei, Wang Yang knew his opportunity hade. He hurriedly "Weiwei, get in the car first and tell me what happened. Maybe I can help you..." Jiang Weiwei nodded her head. Especially now, there were a lot of people at the school gate who were out to have fun. It fed her ego for being able to get in an Audi in public. After she got into the car, the car stopped at the school gate. He wasn''t going to drive away yet. Jiang Weiwei told him about Chen Hao''s matter. He scoffed. Wang Yang then sneered, "Weiwei, and here I was wondering what''s the matter. Why are you still worried about this? So what if he had won the lottery? I got the news that Chen Hao has be a pauper again! Haha, I actually wanted to tell you about it today!" Wang Yang lost his dignity when Chen Hao pped him in the facest night with the high price room in the restaurant. He had also been preupied with Chen Hao winning the lottery. Therefore, he had asked someone to inquire about it. "What? Chen Hao is poor again? Who did you hear the news from? ording to my student council officer from their ss, Chen Hao won more than 200,000. Yesterday, Chen Hao had already spent up to 150,000!" Jiang Weiwei asked in shock. "Oh, it was only 200,000, and the consumption of 150,000 was because the kid waspeting with his rival Lu Chen. They both split the bills. Theypeted with each other to see who could spend more money. As a result, Chen Hao stupidly spent all his 150,000. Of course, Lu Chen was also shamedst night! It can be said that neither side gained!" "Ah! So that''s the case. As I''ve expected,I don''t think he''s lucky enough to have won a few million too. But..." Jiang Weiwei paused for a while then she resumed again. "But Wang Yang, do you know that Chen Hao actually got off a Ferrari just now? That Ferrari is a global limited edition model. It''s at least five or six million! When I asked him, he said it belongs to his friend!" "Oh? Is there such a thing? Are you sure what you saw was the global limited edition Ferrari?" "I clearly saw it!" "Damn, how could it be? How does Chen Hao know someone with a Ferrari?" Wang Yang also mumbled to himself. They felt glum. Because it seemed like Chen Hao''s social connection was better than both of them added up together. How is this possible? No way! This can''t be! Chapter 31 Signing Up at the Driving School and Zhao Chapter 31 Signing Up at the Driving School and Zhao The two were gloomy but they still went to get the Audi A6 serviced. Wang Yang was most proud of his car, but Chen Hao''s friend had a Ferrari and it made Wang Yang feel ashamed. The two tacitly agreed that they had to quickly find out discreetly where Chen Hao came to know this friend of his. Later, in the automobile service store. While Wang Yang was waiting for the maintenance to be done, he chatted with the staffs and wanted to regain his pride by searching for the look of respect in their eyes. At this moment, the staff that was responsible for the maintenance of Wang Yan''s car said, "Sir, you have made a wise choice in choosing our Audi Luxury series. It''s not like other luxury brands like Ferrari sports cars, which are only used to feed the ego. Those are for the truly rich." "Now most of the rtively wealthy people have their eyes on the Audi or BMW Dashing series." "But if you think about the quality, Ferrari is much better! Doesn''t it look far better to be driving a Ferrari?" Jiang Weiwei could not help herself but to say sourly. "Ahem, thedy''s words do not ring true. Luxury items also depend a lot on who uses them. Let''s take a Ferrari sports car as an example. This car is awesome and the starting price is at least a few million. Although it cannot bepared to the Phantoms, it''s definitely a mark of the rich and wealthy!" "A few days ago, Ferrari put forward a business n to stimte and develop the market for the lower sses of the wealthy. If you pay 50,000 in deposit, you can enjoy and bathe yourself in the atmosphere of the car and be driven around by a chauffeur, For a 100,000 deposit, you will be able to test drive it yourself!" "As a result, rich people like Mr. Wang here were not interested but there were a lot of people who were greedy and vain. These people don''t haverge businesses and some even have financial difficulties, but they were the ones who spent money to test drive the Ferraris, just to satisfy their vanity!" After hearing this, Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei looked at each other. It seemed like the rock on their hearts was about to be turned over. "Did you say that by paying 50,000, someone will drive you around and you can enjoy the privilege of riding in a sports car like Ferrari?" Jiang Weiwei asked in shock. "Yes, but I heard from an inside source that this promotion will be canceled in the next few days because it''spletely useless and it was criticized for vanity by the news." "Oh! I understand now!" Jiang Weiwei exhaled deeply. So Chen Hao, this disgusting man, spent 50,000 in order to satisfy his vanity. Jiang Weiwei even guessed that she didn''t see Chen Hao by coincidence, but that he showed up on purpose. This man was so disgusting! Ugh!! "Achoo!" Meanwhile, Chen Hao was walking out of the driving school office. He had just finished signing up when he sneezed. This driving school was coborating with the college. They rented a part of the campus for driving lessons and tests. Chen Hao had decided to buy a car this month, or to be more exact, in these few days. Because he had to spend twenty million. But if he wanted to buy a car, it would not do if he didn''t have a driving license. Previously, Chen Hao didn''t even have the money to sign up for driving school but now it was different. Chen Hao was looking forward to it Just that. Who was cursing him? Why was he sneezing all the time recently? Hmm... Hmm... Just when Chen Hao was going back to the dorm to lie down for a while, his phone suddenly rang. It was Yang Hui. "What''s up, Yang Hui?" "Chen Hao, where are you? Come back to the dorm quickly. Zhao Yifan invited us to a gathering. I don''t know if we should attend and I wanted to discuss it with you. It''s mainly because of Xu Xia that Zhao Yifan included us..." As Chen Hao listened, he felt that ever since Yang Hui fell in love with Xu Xia, he had lost his pride as a man. Well, he was in no ce to say that. When Chen Hao was in love, he lost his pride as well. He always put Yang Xia and her feelings in the first ce. When Yang Xia was happy, he was happy and when Yang Xia was sad, he was sad. There wasn''t any reason for it. Maybe this was how it was when you fell in love. "Ah, I don''t think I will be going. Besides, Zhao Yifan wouldn''t want to see me!" Chen Hao said. "Well, this is why we have to discuss it because Zhao Yifan specifically asked you to go to this gathering," Yang Hui replied. "What?" Chen Hao was shocked. It doesn''t make sense. Isn''t Zhao Yifan sick of me? Why would she invite me to her gathering? To be honest, Chen Hao drank some alcohol at noon and ate a lot, so he was not hungry at all. He had been socializing for the entire day and he was tired. He didn''t want to go. There had been a lot of gatherings for the past few days and he wanted to prepare for his driving test. Maybe it was destiny. Many who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths had their lives started from gatherings. Although he had never disclosed his identity, many gatherings and entertainment were already surrounding him. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. He had always rejected the invites. However, when Yang Hui and the others knew that Chen Hao wasn''t going, they didn''t want to go either, which made Chen Hao very troubled. Finally, he couldn''t help but promise them. He returned to the dormitory to change his clothes. Chen Hao and his roommates went downstairs and gathered at the campus doors. "Yifan, why are you treating us all of a sudden? Where are we going?" Ma Xiaonan was of course invited. She asked curiously. "Haha. To be honest, I''m not the one treating tonight. It''s Zhuang Qiang''s treat! His family''s restaurant is open for business on Jin Ling Commercial Street. They had just gotten their approval this afternoon. From now on, Ming Huang Restaurant is under the family of Zhuang!" There was a sh of pride on Zhao Yifan''s face and she turned her head to look at Chen Hao. Ha! Chen Hao, you think you''re so amazing and great to treat everyone to the fanciest ce at the mountain vi, making me and Zhuang Qiang feel embarrassed. But... what would happen in the future? You, Chen Hao, will still continue to be poor. Can you take everyone to the vi again? On the other hand, Zhuang Qiang is different. His family has factories and they have a foothold on Jin Ling Commercial Street. With the Jin Ling tycoon, Li Zhenguo, the future development potential is extremely clear. Zhao Yifan invited Chen Hao so that she could see Chen Hao''s embarrassed face when he realized that he was iparable to Zhuang Qiang. But Zhao Yifan was a bit disappointed, because Chen Hao had a poker-face on and was emotionless. You will cryter! Just you wait. Zhao Yifan thought. "Yifan, if it''s Zhuang Qiang''s restaurant, I don''t think it''s a good idea for so many of us to go there. Besides, we don''t know him very well..." At this moment, Ma Xiaonan said worriedly. Lin Jiao, who stood next to her touching up her makeup, announced mysteriously to everyone, "Haha, why wouldn''t it be fine? Yifan is treating us today because she wants to announce something important as well. Everyone should still remember the incident at Imperial KTV. Well, it was Zhuang Qiang who asked his father to help everyone on Yifan''s behalf, which made Yifan fall for him." "For the past few days, Young Master Zhuang has pursued our Yifan aggressively and Yifan has decided to give Zhuang Qiang a chance. So, Yifan''s first love experience is finally starting!" "What?" Everyone didn''t react in time when they heard it. But Chen Hao yelped in shock. Damn it! He was one step behind? Chapter 32 Opening of Ming Huang Restaurant Chapter 32 Opening of Ming Huang Restaurant After hearing this news, there was a bitter taste in Chen Hao''s mouth. It was he who handled that matter of Zhao Yifan. Chen Hao didn''t really want to have much interaction with Zhao Yifan. He helped her because of Ma Xiaonan. But now, it was obvious that Zhao Yifan had mistakenly thought that Zhuang Qiang was the one who helped her and that he was really amazing. She even ended up dating Zhuang Qiang. Zhao Yifan was pretty. She had never been in a rtionship before and she was definitely a goddess. To say that hepletely disliked this gorgeous girl would be a lie. I should find an opportunity to tell the truth to Zhao Yifan. Even though she would not thank me, it would be better than being mistaken and ending up with someone else! Chen Hao thought. As the group chatted, they subsequently got into taxis and headed toward Ming Huang Restaurant on Jin Ling Commercial Street. The opening ceremony of Ming Huang Restaurant was hustle and bustle due to the connections possessed by the Zhuang''s. Just the first floor itself was full of people. The peopleing in and out were the rich and famous. "Young Master Zhuang, this is amazing! Yifan, do you mean that from this day onward, Ming Huang Restaurant of Jin Ling Commercial Street belongs to the Zhuang family now? Can wee often and hang out here?" Lin Jiao asked. "Of course. Our Yifan is amazing. She wouldn''t forget us even though she has Zhuang Qiang, would you Yifan?" The girls were looking everywhere and they were extremely excited. "Yes, we''re sisters, so of course!" Yifan nodded slightly. "Actually, there''s something you guys might not know. This Ming Huang Restaurant doesn''tpletely belong to the Zhuang family!" Yifan said as they walked around the party. "What? Didn''t Mister Zhuang buy it?" "No, the Zhuang family only bought the agency rights to Ming Huang Restaurant. The real person who is making money is the owner of Jin Ling Commercial Street because this person owns the entire street!" Zhao Yifan''s expression changed as she said this. "All that belongs to one person? Isn''t it run by the Jin Ling Chamber of Commerce?" "Oh my god, who doesn''t know that the amount of money that Jin Ling Commercial Street makes is huge? It''s like a never-ending tide. Didn''t the news say that the revenue everyday reaches one billion? This means that they make at least thirty billion in a month!" "Of course, Ming Huang Restaurant alone generates ten million of revenue per month and several billions a year. The businesses owned by the Zhuang family are profitable but not as profitable as that of the owner of Jin Ling Commercial Street!" Lin Jiao and the others nearly copsed when they heard the news. So Jin Ling Commercial Street was not run by the Jin Ling Chamber of Commerce but by one big owner. How much would this person be worth? "My mind is being blown away now. I wonder if this owner has a son. If only I could marry that son!" The group of girls swooned as they eximed. Zhao Yifan smiled bitterly and shook her head."I heard from Zhuang Qiang this afternoon that the owner was actually a pair of siblings, an elder sister and a younger brother. 70% of the assets of this street are under the brother. I heard everyone called him Young Master Chen! He came to Jin Ling today at noon! He was very young but he''s good for nothing! It''s a pity that the Zhuang family only got the agency rights this afternoon and missed the opportunity to see him!" And she thought to herself. This man would be something extraordinary. Why would he fall in love with ordinary girls? Yes, Zhao Yifan was very intrigued by this man and searched for his information but there was nothing about him on the inte. Sigh, what a pity! Chen Hao was listening next to her and felt a bit awkward. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Especially when she said that Young Master Chen was young and good for nothing. Was he good for nothing? Was he mistaken because he had spanked Lin Yiyi and her few friends? At the same time, Chen Hao felt that it was quite funny. How would they react if Zhao Yifan and LinJiao found out that the man they were talking about was him? Ha... "Yifan, why didn''t you call me after you arrived?" As they were discussing heatedly, Zhuang Qiang, who was dressed in a suit with his hairbed back, went over to them with Li Hao. Zhuang Qiang looked really handsome today. At least that was what the girls thought! "I saw you busy socializing... Are you tired?" Zhao Yifan smiled gently. She had never been in a rtionship before so to be like Lin Jiao, who flirted with a lot of boys, was really not possible for her. She said shyly, "I''m alright! There are a few uncles from Jin Ling Street who came to support us and I was just arranging their seats! Now let me arrange yours!" Zhuang Qiang smiled proudly. At the corner of his eyes,he saw Chen Hao who was standing at the farthest. Chen Hao was touching a wooden pony on the shelf. The wooden pony was very delicate and it was made of sandalwood. Chen Hao was attracted to it immediately. His curiosity was aroused. "Haha,this thing is very fragile. Chen Hao, you''d better be careful!¡± Zhuang Qiang smiled with a touch of irony. At this moment,there wasn''t a hint of cloudiness on his face,unlike when he was humiliated by Chen Hao at Hot Spring Vi. If there were any, it would only be envy, perhaps due to the fact that Chen Hao saved Li Zhenguo''s daughter. But now everything was alright. His family was now intertwined with Li Zhenguo. And the rtionship between Li Zhenguo and Chen Hao should have deteriorated. People wouldn''t thank you for life anyway. What''s more, this Chen Hao is a stupid and vain fool! "What a disgrace, Chen Hao. Why are you touching the wooden pony? You destroyed a paintingst time, so do you want the same to happen to this ornament? Young Master Zhuang doesn''t owe you anything!" "Indeed, you''re so lowly. You''re like a grandma going into a fancy park wanting to see everything!" "I don''t understand why Yifan invited Chen Hao. He''s making everyone feel ufortable!" Lin Jiao and the girls directly expressed their dissatisfaction. The reason they were doing this to Chen Hao was because they knew Chen Hao was on the wrong side of Young Master Zhuang. However, Lin Jiao and the others appreciated the fact that Chen Hao had invited them to Hot Spring Vi. If only Chen Hao could make Zhuang Qiang like him. But now, Young Master Zhuang doesn''t like you and you''re acting like you''re so cool. How could you everpare to Young Master Zhuang? So, to show their stance, they allshed out at Chen Hao. Zhao Yifan just shook her head at all of this. At first, she did want to take revenge on Chen Hao, but now she thought herself ridiculous. How could she be obsessed with a person like this? It was extremelyughable. "Ma Xiaonan, Chen Hui, why are you here? Oh my god, Chen Hao,how did you get in here?" At this moment, a female''s voice rang out, sounding surprised. At the sound of this voice, Chen Hao raised his head and saw who it was. It was Yang Xia! Chapter 33 There is No Seat Chapter 33 There is No Seat Yang Xia held Lu Chen''s arm intimately. She gaped at Chen Hao, Ma Xiaonan and the others who were present here. She could not believe that they had appeared at such a prestigious event. Chen Hao looked at Yang Xia''s luxurious and morous outfit. It seemed that Lu Chen was buying things for Yang Xia this morning for tonight''s grand opening of Ming Huang Restaurant. Yang Xia seemed blissful and proud. Chen Hao thought, Maybe Yang Xia and Lu Chen truly loved each other. In the past, I was just a ymate to Yang Xia when she was bored. What a joke. I was even worried about Yang Xia yesterday, but it seems like she doesn''t need my worry after all. "Young Master Zhuang, do you know Chen Hao and the others?" Lu Chen asked in a respectful manner. The profit from Lu Chen''s family factory was just a drop in the oceanpared to the Zhuang''s. The only reason Lu Chen could attend this event was because his mother and Zhuang Qiang''s mother were roommates and best friends during their college years. They had been keeping close contact with each other until now. Hence, when Lu Chen mentioned the grand opening of Ming Huang Restaurant to his mother, he was allowed to bring Yang Xia along to this event. "They are Yifan''s friends. Lu Chen, are they your schoolmates too?" Zhuang Qiang responded nonchntly. "Yes, Young Master Zhuang, they are from the ss next door!" "Zhuang Qiang, Chen Hao is just a loser. Why did you let hime to such a prestigious event?! He is downgrading the ssiness of Ming Huang Restaurant. Look at his attire!" Yang Xia gave a contemptuous look at Chen Hao and said. She held onto Lu Chen''s arm tighter. Yang Xia wanted to let Chen Hao see that she was doing great without him. She even got to attend the grand opening of Ming Huang Restaurant. Chen Hao, indeed you were very lucky to have won two hundred thousand, but you are nothing Zhuang Qiang was obviously ttered by Yang Xia''s words. He tucked his hands into the pocket and said mockingly, "Well, I don''t mind downgrading it a little. It''s better to have both sophisticated and "Ha, ha, ha, Young Master Zhuang is indeed ssy, even the way you talk is different!" "Definitely. Everyone knows who Young Master Zhuang is. But you are right, if the low-end didn''t exist, the high end wouldn''t have anything topare it to." "Alright that''s enough. It''s not kind to mock Chen Hao like this, even though it''s the truth. Hahaha..." Yang Xia was on the same team as Lin Jiao and the girls this time. They all agreed with Zhuang Qiang. Chen Hao was listening to them nearby and he was furious. He thought in his heart, All of you like money too. I''ll drown you in cash next time. How abominable can you guys be! Zhuang Qiang looked at Chen Hao smilingly. "Chen Hao, don''t misunderstand, I was just joking. You won''t be mad, right? I know you will surely not be angry. You aren''t a guy that can''t take jokes, are you?" Chen Hao replied coldly,"Zhuang Qiang, are you trying to pick a fight?" Chen Hao thought Zhao Yifan invited him here so that he could reconcile his rtionship with Zhuang Qiang. He befriended Zhuang Qiang, and Chen Hao even treated them to a meal at the best restaurant in the mountain vi. It was the least he could do. But now Chen Hao was clear that they had set him up to ridicule him! "Look who''s angry now? Young Master Zhuang allowing you to be here is your greatest honor, so how dare you show your temper? Ha..." Yang Xia was enjoying the sight of Chen Hao being humiliated by the others. She noticed that Zhuang Qiang disliked Chen Hao. She started to unt herself, so at least she could leave a good impression in Zhuang Qiang''s heart. "Stop ying. Zhuang Qiang, where did you arrange our seats?" Zhao Yifan interrupted. She was the one who brought Chen Hao here anyhow. The humiliation of Chen Hao made Zhao Yifan embarrassed. After all, one needed to consider how one''s actions would affect the people who were associated with him or her. "The seats are here. Since Lu Chen and Yang Xia are from the same school as all of you, why don''t you all sit together?" Zhuang Qiang led Chen Hao and the others to another ce. He arranged the seats for them. Lu Chen and Yang Xia did not reject his invitation. In fact, Yang Xia was very willing to sit with them, for she wanted to show off. The presence of Lu Chen and Yang Xia made the space feel slightly cramped even though the table could fit 15 people. Zhao Yifan and his dorm mates made six and Yang Hui and her dorm mates made five, making twelve in total when Ma Xiaonan was included. With the addition of Yang Xia, Lu Chen and Zhuang Qiang, the seats for fifteen were fully upied. Thus, Chen Hao was left out. "Well, this is awkward. There''s no seat for Chen Hao anymore," Zhuang Qiang sneered and acted apologetically. Yang Hui suggested promptly,"Chen Hao, why don''t youe over here, we can squeeze a little!"Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "It won''t be nice if you squeeze, especially in this grand opening event. There''s a lot of celebrities here, so it won''t be a pleasant sight." Zhuang Qiang scratched his head in frustration. He sighed, "I think it''s better go to the stage now and give Chen Hao my seat since I will not be eating. I initially nned to sit here to chat with all of you before I join the ceremony on the stage." "No way! This is a bad idea!" Lin Jiao and the rest halted him. "If you give your seat to Chen Hao, he will be sitting in between me and Yi Fan. No way! Besides, you can''t leave us like this, we want to listen to you and hopefully we will be enlightened!" All of them refused to give Chen Hao a seat, leaving Chen Hao standing there awkwardly. Shit! I''ll remember this. Chen Hao cussed in his heart. He wanted to leave before their nasty words and expressions destroyed his mood. At this moment, the emcee on the stage announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, kindly keep your voices down." The grand opening ceremony had started. The emcee had started his speech and the audience sat down in an orderly manner. The hall fell quiet. Except for Chen Hao. He stood there embarrassingly since he did not have a seat. His situation drew the attention of the crowd. "Hey, look at that guy. Who is he and why is he standing?" "A waiter? Quite unlikely though. Look at his frumpy attire, is he a beggar who sneaked in for a free meal?" "Hahaha, that''s embarrassing, He has no seat. Zhuang Family is also ridiculous to allow a person like him to attend such a solemn..." Chatters could be heard from the audience. At the same time, at the table located nearest to the stage sat a group of youngdies and gentlemen. Only the distinguished guests were allowed to sit at this table. Ming Huang Restaurant had arge ceremony hall. Even Zhuang Qiang could only arrange seats that were located in the middle, which was nearer to the back of the hall than the front, for Zhao Yifan and the others. This showed that this group of young people came from a distinctively noble family. One of the young men told a young man dressed in white shirt teasingly, "Fei, Yiyi, look there, quick! Someone is embarrassing himself in Ming Huang Restaurant! He sneaked in for a free meal! Haha!" The man in white raised his head and took a nce. He would be happy if anything embarrassing happened in Ming Huang Restaurant today. But when he turned and looked, the man in white was leftpletely shocked. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly. "Oh my, it''s Young Master Chen!" Lin Yiyi kept herposure until she heard ¡®Young Master Chen''. When she raised her head and saw Chen Hao, she was astounded as well. Young Master Chen''s face was imprinted deeply into her heart. "It really is him!" Lin Yiyi mumbled in disbelief. Chapter 34 Bai Xiaofeis Plan Chapter 34 Bai Xiaofei''s n ¡°I can''t believe that it''s Young Master Chen!" The Young Masters anddies around the table recognized Young Master Chen at once. They were dumbfounded. "Wait, who? Brother Fei, do you mean that the beggar is -¡± p! The man in white, who was Bai Xiaofei, immediately pped the young man when he addressed Young Master Chen as a beggar. "Shut up, who are you calling a beggar? You must be eager to die!" That young man covered his face in grievance. "Young Master Chen is here. Fei, should we greet him?" The few dandies asked nervously. Chen Hao was one of the presidents who pulled the strings of the entiremercial street. His family status and power were beyond imagination. Anyone who befriended him would benefit for life and, not to mention, boost one''s social status. Most importantly, Chen Hao was the superior of the boss of Bai Xiaofei and the others'' fathers. Chen Hao was utterly impressive. "Wait a second! Something seems wrong!" Bai Xiaofei quickly regained his calmness and carefully inspected the situation from his seat. He saw Chen Hao standing alone awkwardly and was mocked by the girls at the table beside him. He figured out what was happening immediately. Bai Xiaofei got to know Young Master Chen''s situation when he sent Young Master Chen to school yesterday. Young Master Chen''s identity had not been revealed yet. If Young Master Chen''s identity had been revealed, he would not be able to keep a low profile and there would be squads of bodyguards protecting him when he was in school. Moreover, Young Master Chen wouldn''t be attending Jin Ling College either, where mostmoners went. If he and his friends approached Young Master Chen now and revealed his identity, they might push Young Master Chen into the heart of his struggle, and even bring many problems to him. If that happened, Bai Xiaofei would be in trouble. Bai Xiaofei''s father was an expert in ttering and toadying tactics, so as his son, Bai Xiaofei inherited his father''s skills. "What are you hesitating for, Fei? Young Master Chen is being taunted, and this is the best opportunity for us to present ourselves! Young Master Chen likes to keep a low profile, but he is being ridiculed by those trashes, so we can''t possibly turn a blind eye to it!" One of the dandies asserted anxiously. "Absolutely not! But all of you have to keep in mind that Young Master Chen''s identity must not be exposed. Just follow my instructions from now on!" Bai Xiaofei had analyzed the situation and told his group his reasoning. Through Bai Xiaofei''s exnation, they got a clearer picture of the present situation. They realized that it would be reckless to go up to Young Master Chen and identally exposed his identity, Chen Hao was preparing to leave. He felt extremely embarrassed to be stared at by the crowd. When he was turning away, someone called him. "My friend, please wait for a second!" Bai Xiaofei and the rest stood up. The crowd shifted their attention to them. "Friend, if you don''t mind, let''s have a drink together." "Yes my friend, join us for a drink! We have seats here!" Bai Xiaofei and the group got up from their seats. One of them even started to sweat nervously. "Wait, what is happening?" "Why is Young Master Bai, the son of Treasure Pavilion''s president, inviting a beggar to join them?" "Besides, the guests at that table are all representing the nine most reputable shops in Jin Ling Commercial Street. They are the most distinguished guests here!" "Look, even the heirs of Bai and Lin Families are present. W¡­what is happening?" The crowd was perplexed. Bai and Lin Families, and even Ning family who was the owner of Ming Huang Restaurant, started their businesses in Jin Ling Commercial Street. From there, they expanded their businesses which led to their prosperity and wealth. They had close connections with Li Zhenguo. And their descendants were all highly honorable. Even Yang Xia, Lu Chen, Zhao Yifan and the others were stunned. Obviously, they knew each of the guests at that table, but they have never had the chance to talk to them. They were confused by their motives of inviting Chen Hao to join them. Chen Hao was also baffled that Bai Xiaofei and Lin Yiyi''s group, who had beaten him violently, were in attendance. He did not notice their presence. When Chen Hao heard their invitation, he thought, If I flee from the crowd now under their watchful eyes, the crowd will despise me even more and think that I am really a beggar. It would be better for him to join Bai Xiaofei and his friends. At least those people who looked down on him would shut their mouths. He epted their invitation and nodded. "Sure!" Chen Hao walked toward the stage in the eyes of the astonished crowd. When he reached Bai Xiaofei''s table, he sat on the empty seat between Bai Xiaofei and Lin Yiyi. ¡°How thick skinned!" "What an ignorant man!'' "He really sat down at that table. Who does he think he is?" "And he even got to sit next to goddess Lin Yiyi!" Most of the rich young guests were green with envy. Zhao Yifan, Lu Chen and Yang Xia gaped at Zhuang Qiang and asked him if he understood the situation. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Most importantly, they were offended by the fact that Chen Hao got to sit at the VIP seats, while they could only sit at the normal seats. ¡°How could he ept their invitation without even thinking? He should know his ce!" Zhuang Qiang was enraged that he stole his spotlight as the host tonight! He approached Bai Xiaofei and asked,"Young Master Bai, what are you doing? How can you allow him to sit here?" ¡°Why not? If my friend isn''t allowed to sit here, we will leave now!" Bai Xiaofei sneered and got up at once. Following Bai Xiaofei''s action, all the presidents and bosses whoplied with the Bai family stood up from their se. well. They would leave if Bai Xiaofei len. "This¡­" Zhuang Qiang''s face went ck. Today was the grand opening ceremony, so he definitely could not afford to offend Bai and Lin Families. But he was baffled. Why would someone be as haughty as Bai Xiaofei treated Chen Hao in such a polite manner? "Of course. Since Young Master Bai has allowed it, he can sit here!" Zhuang Qiang shot daggers at Chen Hao before he returned to his seat in a huff. "Young Master Zhuang, what happened? Why did Young Master Bai and the others invite Chen Hao that loser?" "I don''t know. But I think he did that to oppose me and the Zhuang family. This Ming Huang Restaurant was initially going to the Bai family, but my father spent a great deal of efforts to get his hands on this restaurant. Bai Xiaofei must be holding grudges against me for this reason! Even so, we have 10 invite Bai Xiaofei to this grand opening ceremony because Bai family is one of the greatest families in Jin Ling." "That''s why!" Everyone understood now. Zhao Yifan finally put her heart at ease. Yang Xia was also relieved. If Chen Hao was a friend of Young Master Bai, Yang Xia would feel uneasy. Even Lu Chen was not qualified to know Young Master Bai, so what made Chen Hao think he was qualified to know him? On the other hand, Chen Hao did not care about what Yang Xia and the rest thought. After he sat down, he nced interestingly at the beautifuldies who were blushing. Especially Lin Yiyi. "Didn''t expect we would meet so soon, did you?" Chen Hao said teasingly, "Indeed, Young Master Chen. This must be our destiny!" The girls pouted their lips at Chen Hao adorably. Lin Yiyi was at a loss for words. She then recalled her father''s urge in the afternoon. She followed the girls'' response and nodded at Chen Hao. "Young Master Chen, are you a friend of Zhuang Qiang that idiot?" Bai Xiaofei suddenly squinted at Zhuang Qiang and asked Chen Hao. Even though he noticed the hostility between Zhuang Qiang and Young Master Chen, he needed to receive a confirmation from the man himself. "Definitely not!" Chen Hao answered frankly, "That''s great. Young Master Chen, we have plenty of ideas to ridicule Zhuang Qiang in front of the crowd today, and deteriorate Zhuang family''s reputation, but we are afraid of Uncle Zhenguo. That''s why we didn''t have the guts to carry out our ideas. If you are willing to back us up, we can surely destroy Zhuang Qiang''s reputation today!" Chapter 35 Got Into Trouble Chapter 35 Got Into Trouble "Destroy his reputation? What do you have in mind?" Chen Hao could not resist his curiosity. When Zhuang Qiang came over to Bai Xiaofei''s table a moment ago, Chen Hao noticed that Zhuang Qiang was pretending to be polite, but they were clearly not on good terms. Zhuang Qiang was only polite because he was afraid of the Bai family''s power. ¡°I''ll show you a video!" Bai Xiaofei took out his phone and yed a video that they recorded for Chen Hao. The video showed a room with a King- sized bed. In the video, Zhuang Qiang held an unconscious woman in his arms and entered the room. The woman was around thirty and she was beautiful. Theter part of the video was obviously Zhuang Qiang''s nasty act. Unfortunately, the video was only three minutes long and within this short time, Zhuang Qiang had already finished his business. Chen Hao was even embarrassed at the sight and length of that video. "But this won''t be enough to destroy his reputation. Isn''t this considered normal?" Chen Hao smiled bitterly. Chen Hao''sment made Bai Xiaofei abashed. "Young Master Chen, we do fool around with girls often, but Zhuang Qiang''s case is different. Do you know who this woman is? She is his stepmother!" "What?!" Chen Hao''s eyes almost popped out of his head.. This would be a shocking news. "Do you hate him so much to the point that you investigated him?" Chen Hao was at a loss for reaction. He could only smile. Bai Xiaofei answered, "It was Zhuang family who yed us dirty. Young Master Chen, when Ming Huang Restaurant was being auctioned, Bai family nned to buy it. We even ced the final bid and Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. won it. We have an unspoken rule for this kind of huge auctions where we won''t ce any bid in the the bid at thest minute!" "He did us wrong so I want to take revenge on him!" Chen Hao understood now. Bai Xiafei and the others did not dare to take their revenge because they were afraid that Li Zhenguo would punish them if he knew. After all, Li Zhenguo was responsible for these issues and internal conflicts between businesses were forbidden. "That''s why you needed my consent?" "Yes! You just need to ensure that Uncle Li won''t punish us and we''ll do the rest!" Chen Hao kept his silence and took a sip of wine. Bai Xiaofei understood instantly. He hinted at a sidekick. That sidekick took the phone. "Alright, sit back and enjoy the show¡­ After that, he sneaked to the backstage. When Chen Hao was broke, he was tyrannized and intimidated. But now that he was rich, why should he conform to these bullies? Hence, Chen Hao was d that Zhuang Qiang could have a taste of his own medicine. Besides, messing around with his own stepmother was an extremely despiteful act! The ceremonymenced smoothly. It had now reached thest part of the ceremony, which was cutting the ribbon. Zhuang Qiang had to join the stage as the president''s son of Ming Huang Restaurant."Yifan,e with me to the stage!" Zhuang Qiang grabbed Zhao Yifan''s hand gently. This scene left the crowd envious. Especially Yang Xia. She was grumbling in her heart at her unlucky faith where she met Chen Hao, that loser first, then Lu Chen, who was just amon descendent of a rich family. If only she could have someone with a high status such as Zhuang Qiang to be her boyfriend! Zhao Yifan agreed without hesitating. She walked up the stage with Zhuang Qiang hand in hand. When she walked past the table where Chen Hao and the rest and sat down, she casted a nce toward Chen Hao. She was trying to tell him that no matter where he sat, he would always be unworthy. Zhuang Qiang was also looking at Chen Haocently. He felt satisfied to have humiliated Chen Hao in public. Zhuang Qiang wanted payback because in all his life, his pride had only been hurt once and Chen Hao, that poor loser, was responsible for it. We have a long way to go. I will make you kneel at my feet, and it won''t be as simple as just being poor! Zhuang Qiang scoffed in his heart. Chen Hao continued to enjoy his wine when the sidekick of Bai Xiaofei returned. The sidekick nodded to Chen Hao, suggesting that everything was in order. They just had to wait for the show. Chen Hao looked at Zhuang Qiang, who stood energetically on the stage. Zhuang Qiang''s father and stepmother were there. Chen Hao noticed that Zhuang Qiang''s stepmother was uneasy at the sight of Zhuang Qiang holding Zhao Yifan''s hand. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce my girlfriend, Zhao Yifan!'' Zhuang Qiang drew the attention of the audience to Zhao Yifan who was holding his hands. Zhao Yifan was stunning. Even Chen Hao, who was not fond of her, had to admit that she was indeed beautiful. Zhuang Qiang felt even more proud. ¡°Yifan, greet the audience!" Zhuang Qiang reminded Zhao Yifan gently. Zhao Yifan greeted the audience nervously. "Good evening everyone, I am Zhao Yifan!" "Hey beautiful, how did you get to know Young Master Zhuang? Or should I say, in which of your encounters did Young Master Zhuang manage to attract you sessfully?" "Yes, tell us how, we need to learn from Young Master Zhuang''s experience!" On the floor, there were plenty of rich kids whose family were not as distinguished. They knew that they had no chance to talk to the supremely rich such as Bai Xiaofei, so they could only be a bootlicker for Zhuang Qiang. Zhao Yifan smoothed her hair and responded softly, "I met Zhuang Qiang when I was young. Uncle Zhuang and my father were oldrades. We confirmed our rtionship when Zhuang Qiang returned from abroad and did something for me which touched me deeply." "Wow!" ¡°So that was the story. Young Master Zhuang is indeed talented. The best way of making a girl fall for you is to move her!" Everyone was discussing and expressing their admiration of Zhuang Qiang for having a stunning girlfriend. Chen Hao wasn''t impressed. "They are truly a match for each other. It''s such a blessing that we have two happy eventsing together today. Next, we will begin the ceremony of cutting the ribbon for Ming Huang Restaurant. Before that, let''s enjoy a video of blessings from the other bosses to our Ming Huang Restaurant! Kindly look at the big screen!" The emcee was skillful. He swiftly diverted the topic in order to save time. The lights dimmed. Zhao Yifan was still looking at Chen Hao, who was smiling. But she regarded Chen Hao''s smile as a poignant smile. I hope you''re envious and jealous! At this moment, the video started. But the video that was yed before the audience was not the bosses'' greetings. It was showing a hotel room instead. "What?" The audience focused on the screen. "This s.... oh my!" They saw Zhuang Qiang hugging a woman into the room and carried out the indecent activity. That woman was not just any other woman, but his stepmother. Boom! The crowd burst into an uproar. On the stage, Zhuang Qiang''s face instantly turned dark, then ashen. Zhao Yifan was alsopletely stunned. The most interesting reaction was from Zhuang Qiang''s father and the alluring stepmother. ¡°This¡­ You! B*stard! B*stard!¡± Zhuang Qiang''s father was enraged. He spat out a mouthful of blood. "No!This isn''t me! Who yed this video?" Zhuang Qiang stuttered as he spoke. The amorous video continued with Zhuang Qiang''s desperate shouts in the background. It was unsightly. Zhao Yifan was utterly disappointed and shook her head. She was not only disappointed, but greatly insulted as well. She just introduced herself as Zhuang Qiang''s girlfriend, but the next minute, this sickening video of Zhuang Qiang appeared. Most importantly, there were reporters from local news media at the scene. She was famous now! The pride on her face had vanishedpletely. "You son of b*tch!" p! Zhao Yifan pped Zhuang Qiang''s face violently. He made her the proudest girl today and then pushed her off the cliff. Zhao Yifan covered her mouth and dashed out in tears. "Yifan, Yifan!" Ma Xiaonan did not expect the situation would unravel in this way. She knew that Zhao Yifan must be deeply hurt today. She was worried that something would happen to Zhao Yifan and ran after her. Zhuang Qiang''s father was infuriated. He started to hit Zhuang Quang on the stage. The audience on the floor was enjoying the scene. "Haha¡­" Bai Xiaofeiughed maliciously. "Young Master Chen, are you satisfied? This brat had the gut to tease you in front of the crowd and embarrass you. He must not have expected that we would strike back!" Chen Hao did not respond but only smiled wryly. He nced at Zhuang Qiang who was on the stage, covering his face to prevent having his photos taken by the media. He said, "Alright, there''s nothing left to see, we should leave!" Chen Hao had never pranked someone this way. But he did not pity Zhuang Qiang because he deserved it. After parting ways with Bai Xiaofei and the others, Chen Hao walked back to where Yang Hui was. It was meaningless to stay any longer, so they left the restaurant and wanted to get a taxi to return home. Coincidently, Lu Chen and Yang Xia''s car passed by. Lu Chen intentionally slowed down when they passed Chen Hao. "Yo! It won''t be easy getting a taxi at this hour." Lu Chen said scornfully. He nned to show off in front of Chen Hao today, but it turned out otherwise. Chen Hao almost counterattacked him since Chen Hao was invited by Young Master Bai to their table. If it was not for Zhuang Qiang''s exnation, Yang Xia and Lu Chen would not have been able to sleep soundly tonight! After mocking him, both of them left slyly." Pathetic, why are they so smug?" Yang Hui sted his rage. "s, I heard that Lu Chen gained a fortune. Didn''t he have trouble gathering twenty thousand that day? I''m not sure where he got the money today. He even spent itvishly on Yang Xia!" Li Rui sighed helplessly. It was only when Yang Hui hinted at Li Rui that Li Rui recalled that Lu Chen snatched Chen Hao''s girlfriend. He then halted his sentence. Chen Hao was curious about Lu Chen''s rumors too, but it did not matter to him anymore. At this moment, Chen Hao''s phone rang. It was a call from Ma Xiaonan. "Chen Hao, where are all of you? Hurry ande to Imperial KTV. Yifan is in trouble!" Rate the Trantion to Get 2 Pearls. Chapter 36 Chen Hao Is Young Master Chen Chapter 36 Chen Hao Is Young Master Chen "Zhao Yifan got into trouble? Well that''s great! This woman deserves it since she has always been hostile toward Chen Hao. God showed us justice!" Chen Hao''s roommatesmented smugly on Zhao Yifan''s misfortune. Yang Hui scratched his head. "But other than Xiaonan, Xu Xia and the rest ran after Zhao Yifan as well!" "What should we do, Chen Hao?" Li Rui looked at Chen Hao and asked. Since the call was from Ma Xiaonan, Chen Hao could not ignore it. Besides, it happened at Imperial KTV, which he owned. "We should check on them. We came out together after all." Chen Hao was reluctant to care for Zhao Yifan, but he could not turn a blind eye. They travelled to Imperial KTV in two cars. At the same time, in one of the KTV rooms, there were several shattered bottles of red wine on the floor in front of Zhao Yifan. Zhao Yifan was swigging wine into her mouth. "Why? Why is Zhuang Qiang like this? I thought that he was a gentleman who came back from abroad. He had good qualities and he was alwaysposed. I thought that he would treat me well and be loyal to me!" "But why? Why is he such a disgusting psychopath?" Gulp... Zhao Yifan raised her head and chugged the red wine down, then threw it to the floor furiously! "Yifan, stop throwing wine onto the floor. These are all premium red wines, and we don''t have enough money to pay for them!" Ma Xiaonan and Xu Xia had shifted the unopened red wine to the other side. Today''s incident left a deep scar on Zhao Yifan''s heart, especially when the video was aired to the public, leaving Zhao Yifan with no dignity. She escaped to Imperial KTV alone and got herself drunk. She felt that since this was the ce she fell for Zhuang Qiang, she should forget everything here. She ordered a crate of the most expensive red wines out of spite. And she would throw it to the floor after a few gulps. "My boyfriend owns this ce, even the boss of Imperial KTV will have to bow to us if he sees my boyfriend. So what if I threw a few bottles? I want to smash more of them!" Zhao Yifan could not believe that her first boyfriend would be a guy like that. It was just unbelievable! She grabbed something and wanted to smash the television screen. "Xiaonan, I think we should give Zhuang Qiang a call. I checked the price of the wine, and each of them costs more than twenty thousand! She has shattered four bottles, but we did not bring enough money to pay for them!" Lin Jiao suggested. "Good idea, call my boyfriend. Look how mighty my boyfriend is!" Zhao Yifan shouted mockingly. At this moment, the door swung open. Chen Hao, Yang Hui and the others came in. When Chen Hao saw the wine everywhere on the floor, he was stunned. This woman was hysterical when she was upset. "Chen Hao, you came!" Ma Xiaonan called out happily. She was worried to death; she did not know what to do. "You came to mock me, didn''t you?" Before Chen Hao could say anything, Zhao Yifan, who was sitting on the sofa, red coldly at him. "Yes, you definitely came to mock me. Chen Hao, you must hate me because I''ve been ill-treating you. Now that this happened to me, you must be overjoyed, aren''t you?" "Yifan, you misunderstood Chen Hao. I called him just now. As soon as he heard that you were in trouble, he rushed here at once!" Ma Xiaonan exined anxiously. "He rushed here to taunt me!" If it was not for Ma Xiaonan, Chen Hao would have left immediately and abandoned Zhao Yifan here. Suddenly, the door was pushed open. A guard heard the crashes from the room and came over to check on the situation." What happened here?" the guard questioned sternly. It was such a coincidence that this guard was the same guard who was there during thest incident. Zhao Yifan recognized him. "What does it have to do with you? Get out! Get your boss here!" Zhao Yifan''s anger exploded. "Seriously? Get my boss?" The guard looked at the shattered red wine bottles on the floor and sneered. "I will get my boss here if you pay for the bill. Even some of the floorboards are destroyed! There aren''t many who dares do this in Imperial KTV¡­" The guard thought that they were causing trouble here deliberately. "You better get your boss here. If you don''t serve us well, you won''t be let off easily. Do you know who she is? She is Zhuang Qiang''s girlfriend. I don''t think you need me to remind you what the Zhuang family means in Jin Ling." Li Jiao was also worried that they might need to pay for the destruction. She did not consider Zhao Yifan''s feelings when she mentioned Zhuang Qiang. To their surprise, the guard remained indifferent. "I know Zhuang family. They run arge business. But what does Zhuang family have to do with me? Do you think Zhuang family is qualified to mess with Imperial KTV? Why don''t you figure out who Mr. Feihong is?" Lin Jiao did not expect that Zhuang family had no power against Imperial KTV. "I remembered that you were present when Zhuang Qiang made Li Feihong apologize to us with just a call!" Lin Jiao suddenly felt something was wrong. "What? Miss, I think you have it all wrong. You said that the call was made by Zhuang family? Zhuang family is nothing to us here. How will he make Mr. Feihong bow to them?" Through Lin Jiao''s words, the guard finally recognized they were the same group who smashed the feng shui aquarium. He lowered his pitch slightly. Zhao Yifan sobered up bit after hearing the guard''s im. The guard made it clear that Zhuang family was nothing in his eyes. Let alone in front of Li Feihong. Zhuang family was powerful, but they could not overpower Li Feihong. If that was so, Li Feihong wouldn''t have given in. "Ladies, I think you are mistaken. Let me tell you the truth, the call was from a secret boss to President Li, not from Zhuang family." "Secret boss?" Zhao Yifan gasped. It seemed that she had been mistaken all this while. She even agreed to be Zhuang Qiang''s girlfriend because she was touched by that incident! No! How could it be? She took out her phone immediately and called Zhuang Qiang. She waited for a while before Zhuang Qiang answered her call. Hubbub of voices could be heard through the phone. "Yifan, I was wrong. I made a mistake, please forgive me..." "Zhuang Qiang, I called to ask you just one question. Did you call your father to make Li Feihong apologize to us and even bow before us during that incident at Emperor Karaoke?" Zhao Yifan questioned coldly. "What? President Li? Bow and apologize? That''s impossible! Li Feihong is the trusted aide of Mr. Li Zhenguo! Our Zhuang family." ¡°I understand now. You don''t have to exin anymore!" Zhao Yifan hung up the phone directly. This was really a big misunderstanding. At the beginning, Zhao Yifan really believed it was Zhuang Qiang who helped her. Later, they got together. But she didn¡¯t specifically ask him about this matter in detail. Now it''s all clear. That problem was not solved by Zhuang Qiang. Then who could it be? At this very moment, the guard received a call. He said three ¡°yes¡± in session with a deferential look on his face! And his face turned pale! Soon he bent down directly and bowed to the girls in front of him, dies, I''m really sorry. It''s all my fault, please ept my apologies. Tonight''s drinks are on the house, you can all leave." He kept bowing, didn¡¯t dare to stand straight. "Well..." Everyone present was stunned. This scene was just like thest one. Who the hell made that call? With this kind of power? Ma Xiaonan was also deeply surprised, "I think we''d better go back first, and then discuss this matter." Then she looked at Zhao Yifan with worry. "Well, let''s go back..." Zhao Yifan was also utterly confused. What the hell was going on here? Who¡¯s helping them? Just as the crowd was about to go out, Ma Xiaonan asked, "Where is Chen Hao?¡± She was the first to find out that Chen Hao was not among them. "Oh, right, where did he go? Damn. He¡¯s standing behind me just now." "I guess he just slipped away when he heard about the payment. You know, this is not the first case. Last time as soon as something happened, he made excuses and went to the bathroom. He didn''t dare toe back until we dealt with it." Lin Jiao said scornfully. "No, Chen Hao is definitely not like that!¡± With that, Ma Xiaonan wanted to go out and found him. Just then, Chen Hao pushed the door open and came in. At the same time, he put his cell phone in his trouser pocket. "Are you all right? If it''s OK, let''s go. There are three taxis waiting outside! " Chen Hao said tonelessly and then he turned and left. And in the box all the people¡¯s eyes were wide open, Zhao Yifan in particr. She felt her stomach was in knots. Chen Hao had already taken a taxi, which meant he already knew that they would be ok. Just likest time, Chen Hao also secretly went out and came back after the matter was settled. Was it a coincidence? Or was it Chen Hao who made a call to help them out? N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. How could it be possible! ¡°Chen Hao, stop, make it clear!¡± Zhao Yifan directly chased him. Sure enough, there were three taxis waiting outside. She ran to Chen Hao and asked him. ¡°Say what?¡± Chen Hao asked tonelessly. He had been disappointed in Zhao Yifan. They can''t even make friends. Why should he exin so much to her? "Was it you who made a call?" Zhao Yifan asked nervously. A bag with a price of 360000 yuan, going to the mountain vi, being invited by Master Bai of Jin Ling just now, and the attitude of the Imperial KTV now... Almost everything was rted to Chen Hao. Maybe it was because Chen Hao saved Li Zhenguo''s daughter, but the favor should have already been returned. Zhao Yifan was scared. She was afraid that the person she hated and despised was an invisible big shot. She didn''t know how to face it. "Is it you?" Zhao Yifan asked anxiously. ¡°It¡¯s up to you. If you hope that I am the one, then I am; if you don¡¯t, then I am not. Hehe...¡± Chen Hao spoke the sentences in a calm voice and then turned around and got off the car. Lin Jiao and her friends, who happened to walk out of the KTV, witnessed all these. They were all taken aback. OH MY... Should it be that Chen Hao is the creator of all the things? Isn¡¯t ... Isn¡¯t him a poor guy? With tears in her eyes, Zhao Yifan looked dumbfounded. No one knew what she was thinking. Then she was pulled towards the taxi by Lin Jiao and Xiaonan. ¡°Yifan, are you okay? Although Chen Hao is poor, he is a good man. Just don¡¯t think too much.¡± Ma Xiaonanforted her. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t think much of it...¡± Zhao Yifan suddenly raised her head and looked into the eyes of Ma Xiaonan and Lin Jiao. ¡°Do you remember the words I told you today. There is a young boss behind the Commercial Street of Jin Ling who owns almost 70% of the shares of the street. But this big boss is very low-key and there is no information about him in the Inte...¡± ¡±Of course I remember it. But you just told us that his surname is Chen and people all call him Master Chen... OH MY!! Master Chen??¡± Lin Jiao was stunned, as if she had just thought of something. ¡°Should it be that... Master Chen is Chen Hao? How... how could it be possible?¡± Lin Jiao and her friends all got pale. ¡°If Chen Hao is Master Chen, then some things can possibly be reasonable. But, if this is the truth, then I can will be doomed.¡± Lin Jiao thought to herself. She was so regretful that she even wanted to knock her head against a brick wall. So did Ma Xiaonan and Zhao Yifan. ¡° Chapter 37 Get out Chapter 37 Get out After Chen Hao went home, he pulled an all-nighter to study the questions for the driving theory test. The next morning, Chen Hao nned to check on the site for the road test. Before he could set off to his destination, he received a message from his elder sister. "Chen Hao, it''s less than three days away till the end of the month. I''ve checked the bnce in the Centurion card, and you''ve only spent 360,000 out of 20 million. If you don''t spend it all by this month, this 20 million will be forfeited..." Chen Hao was shocked. He didn''t realize that it was already the end of the month, and he had not spent on anything other than a bag for 360,000 using his Centurion card. If he did not use that money, it would be expired and wasted ording to his sister. No way, he must spend this 20 million. 20 million was a huge amount of money. It would be such a waste if the money was forfeited. Chen Hao had made up his mind on what he wanted to buy-his favorite car. Chen Hao woke up early this day and visited Jin Ling''s Car Town. He looked around for almost half a day. But he was disappointed that there were only a few luxurious cars that cost above10 million, and most of the car shops did not have ready stocks. "Which is the most expensive car you have in your shop? I want one which I can get immediately and preferably able toplete all the procedures by the end of this month." Chen Hao was in a BMW shop. To his dismay, the most expensive car that this shop had that he could purchase immediately was a BMW 7 series. This car with full specification cost only around 3 million. He would need to buy at least seven of them to use up the 20 million. But there was no point in buying so many cars. Chen Hao felt anxious. "Sir, this is the most luxurious car in our shop. I suggest you check out our BMW 3 series that is manufactured locally. The lowest specification of this car costs only about two hundred thousand..." The receptionist of this car dealer did not even try to conceal her contemptuous look in her eyes. She just did not express her insults in her words. How can you afford the most expensive car? Look at what you''re wearing! It is such an unlucky day to meet a customer like you in the early morning. The receptionist was annoyed. She doubted that he could even afford the cheapest car in this shop. "Two hundred thousand, that''s too cheap. I should look at the other shops..." Chen Hao sighed and left in disappointment. The receptionist sent Chen Hao out without a word, repressing her contemptuously. She looked at Chen Hao''s leaving figure and her fake smile vanished from her face. "Get out! Idiot!" she finally let out a derisive shout. Chen Hao did not realize that he was regarded as an idiot. He was too absorbed in finding a luxurious car to spend his money on. Finally, his hard work paid off. He found a car dealer which had cars with a suitable price-Lamborghini! Lamborghini was the pioneer of race cars. The lowest price of a race car was at least a million. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. He could only admire the car from the magazine in the past. But now he could buy and own one. Chen Hao felt like he was in a dream! Reventon was the most luxurious race car among all the models that Lamborghini had. A Reventon with full specification cost around 1 8 million. Most importantly, he could get the car on the spot and Chen Hao sat in the car to experience it without caring about the disdainful look of the receptionist. "Darling, that''s Reventon! It''s so cool! Can we sit in the car and experience it for a while?" At this moment, a young couple who were holding hands walked in. Both of them were dressed elegantly. From their attire, they appeared to be someone of prestige. "Didn''t wee to look at Gardo? Reventon is out of my league. Even the lowest specification costs around 15 million. I can''t afford it even if we take a look. But I can afford a Gardo which costs around 3 million!" The young man raised the watch on his wrist and smiled bitterly. "We don''t have to buy it. I just want to have a feel of Reventon. It''s the most expensive model in Lamborghini!" The girl persuaded in a sweet tone. The receptionist who was about to ask Chen Hao to leave turned her attention to the couple. Their attires were worth at least thirty thousand each. They were absolutely wealthy. ording to their conversation, they came to buy Gardo. The receptionist further confirmed that they had the buying power. Unlike the poor brat in the car who wanted to broaden his horizon, how shameful. "Dear customers, you sure have good taste. I am Wei Li, how can I help you?" Wei Li asked respectfully. "We just wanted to test drive the Lamborghini Gardo before buying it. But my girlfriend has her eyes on Reventon. Don''t worry, we will pay for the test drive deposit..." the man replied with a smile. "Of course you can have a test drive. You don''t need to pay the test drive deposit. It''s a free service for you." They looked much more like an actual buyer. She spotted the watch on the man''s wrist which cost at least a hundred thousand. Wei Li answered promptly with a professional smile. "But I think there is another customer in the car..." The man reminded her with a helpless smile. "What? Oh I''m sorry, Mister. He is not a customer. I''ll get him out immediately!" She could clearly distinguish which one of them was more important! She would be extremely gratified if she sessfully sold off even just a normal Lamborghini, let alone a Gardo which cost 3 million. Thus, she would strive to satisfy these two customers. It would definitely be more worthy than wasting her time on this poor loser. "Mister, if you do not intend to buy the car, please get off the car immediately!" Wei Li opened the door and asserted in an They looked much more like an actual buyer. She spotted the watch on the man''s wrist which cost at least a hundred thousand. Wei Li answered promptly with a professional smile. "But I think there is another customer in the car..." The man reminded her with a helpless smile. "What? Oh I''m sorry, Mister. He is not a customer. I''ll get him out immediately!" She could clearly distinguish which one of them was more important! She would be extremely gratified if she sessfully sold off even just a normal Lamborghini, let alone a Gardo which cost 3 million. Thus, she would strive to satisfy these two customers. It would definitely be more worthy than wasting her time on this poor loser. "Mister, if you do not intend to buy the car, please get off the car immediately!" Wei Li opened the door and asserted in an insolent tone to Chen Hao, who was inspecting the interior of the car. She ordered him to leave. "I didn''t say that I was not buying it. Miss, let me take a further look at t. Chen Hao replied immediately. He really adored this car, and he could not resist admiring it. I don''t care whether you are buying or not! Looking at Chen Hao''s clothes, which seemed like they were bought from a thrift shop, Wei Li could not understand how brazen he could be to visit a Lamborghini shop out of vanity. Even if you''re flled with vanity, you should visit only the BMW shop! But since Chen Hao stepped into this shop, Wei Li had to abide by the rules and treat him politely as a customer. "Oh my god! Why is someone like himina Lamborghini? He degraded this luxurious car!" The girl in the man''s arm gasped behind her palm. Both of them spoke in a polite tone earlier because they thought that the one in the car might be someone who was honorable. After all, those who came to Lamborghini were someone with high status in Jin Ling, just like them. Even if they didn''t know each other, they could start their conversation here and expand their connections. After Wei Li opened the door, they were disappointed to find out that the man in the car was a poor Especially the girl, who did not bother to hide her contempt. "Absolutely. Miss Wei Li, is this shop trying to be funny? How could you allow someone like him into this shop and even let him sit inside a Reventon?" The man expressed his astonishment. He refused to take another look at Chen Hao, thinking that Chen Hao did not have the same status as him. He was even furious that someone like Chen Hao was sitting in the car. He felt like he was insulted in front of his girlfriend. He wanted to bring his girlfriend to a luxurious ce, but the presence of Chen Hao downgraded the ssiness of this shop. Wei Li panicked after listening to theirints. She saw that Chen Hao was still checking out the intelligent console. "Get out now!'' Wei Li shouted at Chen Hao and grabbed his cor, trying to drag him out from the car... Chapter 38 You Dont Have To Wait For That Day Chapter 38 You Don''t Have To Wait For That Day Perhaps Wei Li was too eager to close the deal with the couple. She did not realize that she used too much force. Chen Hao did not expect Wei Li to be this rough. It stung when his head knocked against the car. "If you don''t leave now, I will call the guards!" Wei Li told Chen Hao scornfully with her eyebrows furrowed. Chen Hao rubbed his head and got out of the car angrily. He did not expect to be dragged out from the car by this woman while he was inspecting the car. "I came here to buy a car. Why am I not allowed to look at it?" Chen Hao was overwhelmed with fury." Buy a car? Which car can you afford in our shop? I was kind enough to let you in So that you could have a look around, but do you not know when to leave!" Wei Li shouted harshly at Chen Hao to ingratiate the young couple who was standing behind her. This scene drew the attention of the crowd in the car shop. The young couple was indeed ttered. "Hubby, he had sat in the Lamborghini. I don''t feel like buying a Lamborghini anymore... s, what a mood spoiler!" Those who could afford a Reventon were definitely extraordinarily wealthy. They were satisfied with just the Gardo. But it would be a pity to not have an opulent experience with such a luxurious car. Everyone had their vanity, regardless of being poor or wealthy. It seemed like if she did not make any derogatory remarks, her superiority would not be shown. Wei Li bowed to the couple. "I''m so sorry. I''ll handle this issue immediately!" She wished she could turn back time and prohibit this poor loser from entering the shop. When Wei Li turned back to look at Chen Hao, he had walked away. Instead of walking toward the entrance, he walked straight to the manager''s office. to "That is the manager''s office. What are you doing? Come back!" Wei Li stamped her feet in anger. She thought, I must have left a negative impression after this poor loser caused a scene here and I am responsible for that. He must have gone to the manager''s office to report me. Under these pressures, the manager would certainly condemn me for causing this much trouble. If she failed to close this deal today, it would be a disaster. However, she could not make it in time to stop Chen Hao from entering the manager''s office. "Miss Wei Li, don''t worry. We will buy that Gardo today. Even if he reported you, I''ll make sure that your manager won''t punish you," the man consoled her. "Thank you, Mister!" Wei Li bowed to him with gratitude. Chen Hao walked into the manager''s room while rubbing his head, trying to soothe the pain. In the office, a middle- aged man was reading the sales report for this year in concentration. He was stunned when Chen Hao came in. He then stood up. This young man was not dressed sumptuously, but he had been a manager for many years and he could see that this young man had extraordinary temperament. Especially the sharp look in this young man''s eyes. The manager did not dare to act impertinently. "Mister, is there anything that I can help?" "I came here to buy a car, but your receptionist not only forbade me to look at the car, she even hit me. Is this the quality of service in your shop?" Chen Hao asked without beating around the bushes. Honestly, Chen Hao was already slightly agitated when he could not find a suitable car and was treated scornfully in all the shops that he had been to. When he finally found his dream car, he was almost dragged out by a receptionist. The embarrassment and fury wound up in him. Most importantly, he had to buy a car today.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. "Recall? Mister, which car did you want?" The middle-aged manager was a wily old fox. This young man definitely did not look like someone who could afford a Lamborghini. Hence, it was only natural for the receptionist to look down on him. This young man reported the receptionist just to regain his dignity. Thus, the middle aged manager asked which car he desired. "Reventon, that supreme race car that costs 18 million!" Chen Hao replied calmly. "Mister, that car-" m! Before the middle-aged manager could finish his sentence, Chen Hao mmed his Centurion card on the table. When the middle aged manager picked up the card and inspected it closely, his face changed in disbelief. Obviously, he recognized that this was a Centurion card. There were only a few of them in the entire world. "There are approximately 20 million left in this card. I think it should be enough to buy a car." "Definitely, more than enough!" Even though the middle-aged manager replied in agreement, he was still skeptical in his heart. He did not believe that this young man was a holder of a Centurion card. Could it be that he found it somewhere? The middle-aged manager gave Chen Hao an apologetic smile and immediately took out a card reader. He then slid the card in. In just a second, hisputer screen showed a string of information. "May I know your name please?" The middle-aged man felt deep reverence and asked respectfully. "Chen Hao!" "Mister Chen, I apologize for my presumptuousness earlier!" Upon confirming his name, the middle- aged manager immediately left his desk and walked to Chen Hao. He bowed to Chen Hao. "I am Wang Qiang. I am honored to serve you, Young Master Chen!" Wang Qiang was sweating nervously when he confirmed the information. He could not believe that this man who was dressed simply was really the holder of a Centurion card. He must havee from a prestigious family. Let alone the car that cost 18 million, this young man could even afford cars that cost a hundred million. Damn! Who was that ignorant receptionist? "I need the Reventon today. Kindly assist on this matter, Manager Wang," Chen Hao said politely in return to Wang Qiang''s good attitude. He then left the manager''s office. "Yes, Young Master Chen!" Wang Qiang wiped the sweat off his forehead. He turned back and took out the Centurion card. Without pausing, he immediately contacted the finance manager. When Chen Hao came out from the manager''s office, Wei Li and the young couple were test driving in the Reventon. Even though Wei Li knew that this young couple would not buy this car, she would satisfy them because they were her rich customers. She exined the specifications of Reventon to them. "Wow, hubby! This car is so cool. It is indeed a luxurious car that cost 18 million. Hubby, when can we afford to buy this car?" The girl proceeded to sit in the car. She was in love with this car. The car was not only magnificent on the exterior, the interior was also opulent. The car was furnished with top-notch luxurious specifications which were fully automated using intelligent technology. No woman could resist it! "I will need to inherit my father''s fortune first. "The man smiled bitterly. "I don''t care, hubby. I want to sit in this race car one day! Look, hubby! That poor loser came back. He is hitting the front of the car!" the girl said in a catty tone when she saw Chen Hao reappear. Chen Hao was inspecting the headlight of the car. The man and Wei Li had their attention on the car when they saw Chen Hao. Wei Li was anxious. "Why did youe back? Leave now! Did you think that I would be afraid of you even if you reported me?" "She''s right. How can a man have such vanity? Don''t you know what kind of ce this is?" The man said while shing the watch on his wrist. Chen Hao red coldly at Wei Li. "Miss, you are not only in a sales position, but also in the service industry. Wouldn''t you be abashed if one day you found out that the person you drove away was your biggest customer?" "Are you joking? On what basis do you think that you will be the biggest customer? Sure, I will wait for that day to arrive. But can you leave now?" Wei Li stared at Chen Hao as if he was an idiot. The contempt in her eyes was profound. Chen Hao nodded and smiled. "You don''t have to wait for that day, today will do!" "Mister Chen, I have called all the personnel involved in the procedure. I guarantee that you can take your car home today!" At this moment, the middle: aged manager led a team of people carrying all kinds of equipment and ran toward Chen Hao. Wei Li widened her eyes in astonishment. The young couple beside her could not believe what they saw either. Chapter 39 An Encounter In the Milk Tea Cate Chapter 39 An Encounter In the Milk Tea Cate "Manager Wang, what is happening?" Wei Li was in extreme shock that she could not react. But her instinct told her that she might have made a huge mistake which she would regret for the rest of her life. She walked up hastily to ask. "Don''t get in the way! I''ll punish youter!" Wang Qiang stared at Wei Li furiously. The finance manager and the salesperson who were behind him gathered around. They looked at Chen Hao in reverence. Wei Li was dumbfounded. She was so certain that Chen Hao was a poor loser that came to widen his horizon. Wei Li did not hesitate to taunt this poor man in order to ingratiate the young couple who could afford to buy a car. But if he was just a poor man, why was the manager so polite to him? Also, was he really buying this Reventon? Oh my god, how wealthy could he be? The young couple was stupefied. The man felt extremely humiliated." Manager, I think you''ve misunderstood. I am the one who is your customer!" "Absolutely! We want to buy a Gardo and this woman served us. If you treat her unfairly, we won''t buy the car!" the girl yawped. "That''spletely up to you. And you, who allowed you to sit in the car? Get out!" Wang Qiang scoffed in his heart, ¡°Who are youpared to the holder of a Centurion card?¡± Wang Qiang pointed at the girl who was sitting on the driver''s seat. The girl''s face turned ashen as her anger roused. After that, Wang Qiang looked at Chen Hao with an obsequious smile. "Mister Chen, the next step will be." Chen Hao knew that Wang Qiang was asking his permission to begin the procedure. He nodded and took out the Centurion card. After the card reader scanned his card, he entered the password. Ding! "The transaction for 18.4 million was sessful!" In just a few seconds, the system announced the status of the transaction. "What?" Everyone in the shop was astounded. He purchased a supreme Lamborghini race car for 18.4 million on the spot! What a wealthy man! "Who is he? I thought he was just a broke man who came here to enlighten his knowledge judging from his shabby attire. But man, was I wrong! He is filthy rich!" "He looks like a college student. Perhaps he won a lottery? Damn, how much did he win? He must Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. have won at least a hundred million!" "I wonder if he has a girlfriend. Otherwise, I''ll introduce my sister to him!" The chatters from the crowd were relentless. The transaction involving an enormous sum of money made a hugemotion. The crowd stared at Chen Hao. Chen Hao felt his face heat up. The young couple who were unting a few moments ago was ashamed beyond words. They wished they could bury themselves in the ground. The person they humiliated could afford six Gardos. They even shooed him off the car. Their earlier actions left them abashed. "Thisdy, can you please excuse me? I want to look at the interior¡­ Chen Hao walked to the door and said to the girl who was unwilling to leave the car. "Oh! I-!" She really yearned to have someone drive her in this car. She would then receive the attention and envies from the crowd. This experience would make a girl''s lifeplete. But her boyfriend could only afford a Gardo! What a shame! The girl got down from the car, distraught. Everyone watched Chen Hao inspect the car. Finally, Chen Hao was satisfied with his inspection and came down from the car. Wang Qiang had alsopleted the procedures at the same time. "Mister Chen, this is the key to your beloved car and my name card. If there is anything I can help with, anything at all, please do not hesitate to contact me!" Wang Qiang said respectfully. This was not just simply a purchase. It was also an opportunity to connect with the prestigious family behind Chen Hao. Once he established his connection with Young Master Chen, he would enjoy a meteoric rise in his life. "Sure. Thank you, Manager Wang. In fact, I need to ask you for a favor now." Chen Hao smiled. "Please, go ahead!" "Can you find someone to drive this car to my house? I haven''t got a driving license¡­" "I see, I''ll get it done at once!" "Mister Chen, I would be d to drive your car!" "Mister Chen, I''ll help you. I have three years of driving experience!" "Mister Chen, which driving institute did you go to?" Right after he finished his sentence, he was surrounded by girls. They clung onto Chen Hao''s arms desperately. They asked Chen Hao a lot of questions, like which college and which driving institute Chen Hao went to. Chen Hao tried to answer their questions perfunctorily. Fortunately, Wang Qiang was quick to recognize Chen Hao''s pain and he volunteered to drive him back. Wei Li stood by the entrance, watching in despair as Chen Hao and Wang Qiang left. She bit her lower lip and wanted to p herself for her foolishness. She should not have judged a book by its cover. One might appear as someone insignificant, but you''d never know that they might be someone prominent! Wei Li threw herself on the floor and sat there enervated. She realized that her career hade to an end. After Chen Hao left, he did not let Wang Qiang send him to the college campus. This Lamborghini was too eye catching and they were followed by the public for photographs along the road. If they entered the college campus, they might cause a stir. That would be too high-profile. And it might appear as an act to unt wealth, which Chen Hao abhorred the most. Thus, Chen Hao told Wang Qiang to stop the car at a park nearby the campus entrance. Wang Qiang then left in a taxi. s, what a vexing situation. I don''t even dare to drive my own car. Nheless, Chen Hao was tremendously satisfied with the car he bought. It felt too good to be true. He weighed the car key in his palm and suddenly felt thirsty. He had been busy for the whole day and hadn''t taken a break. Hence, he decided to buy milk tea from the cafe beside the college. "You can pay using your e-wallet if you don''t have cash!" "I''m so sorry, sir. My phone battery died and I forgot to bring my purse. How about I leave the milk tea here while I rush back to my dorm and grab my purse? Then I''lle back for the milk tea..." As soon as Chen Hao reached the cafe, he saw a girl carrying a bag of milk tea and overheard her conversation with the cafe owner. It seemed like the girl only realized that she left her purse after she bought the milk tea. To make the situation even more embarrassing, her phone ran out of battery and she could not pay for her drinks using any e-wallet. However, Chen Hao was startled after seeing the girl''s face. "Is it her?" Chen Hao was pleasantly surprised. She was the girl whom he met at the hall when Jiang Weiwei called him for a clean- up duty. He was too focused on Wang Yang''s talk regarding cars so he did not notice her. He identally swept her feet with the broom and tainted her white shoes. This girl was pretty and she did not judge others with prejudice, unlike Jiang Weiwei. She was a quiet and refined girl. Hence, Chen Hao remembered her vividly. He even remembered her name- Su Tongxin! "Miss, please don''t joke with me. You see, you''ve bought six milk teas and you even drank one of them. What if you left the drinks here and never came back? How would I get my money? Miss, I hope you understand, I am just running a small business!" The young cafe owner responded helplessly. Su Tongxin seemed like she had to rush somewhere. She was anxiously wiping the sweat on her forehead. "How much are these? I''ll pay for her." Just when Su Tongxin was out of ideas, she heard a voiceing from beside her. She was relieved. When she turned her head and saw him, she pulled out a smile in surprise. "It''s you?" "Hi, we meet again!" Chen Hao returned her smile, and he could not help but blush... Chapter 40 How Could A Guy Like Him Come For Driving. Chapter 40 How Could A Guy Like Him Come For Driving. "Thank you for today...I forgot to bring my purse!" Su Tongxin gently flipped her hair and said smilingly. She did not pretentiously reject Chen Hao''s good deed. She was a simple and modest girl. Su Tongxin was delighted that she met Chen Hao today. Chen Hao left a deep impression on Su Tongxin at the reporting hall that day. She remembered Chen Hao as aposed student. She was impressed by his calmness when facing taunts from other people. "It''s not a big deal¡­" Chen Hao smiled. "Don''t worry. I''ll pay you back when I get my purse. Do you use WeChat? It would be more convenient if I could transfer the money to you directly..." "I do!" Chen Hap did not decline with excuses. Even though this girl was beautiful, they had met through chance. Chen Hao did not try to curry favor with anybody. ording to convention, other boys might refuse to let the girls return their money. They might even take this opportunity to invite the girls out for a meal and get to know more about each other. However, Chen Hao was slightlycking in romantic sense, or at least he was at the moment. Since she insisted on returning the money, he did not reject. I''Il return to my dorm now and I''ll transfer the money to you tonight! Thank you so much! Oh, and my name is Su Tongxin!" ¡°I am Chen Hao!" Chen Hao replied heartily. Su Tongxin waved at him and left hastily. She''s so beautiful, Chen Hao thought while gazing at the girl''s figure. s, when did I be so easily infatuated with beauty? Chen Hao smiled mockingly. He then turned back to pick up his milk tea and was nning to go admire his car. It was his first car, and on top of that, it was the car that he would have never dreamed of buying. He just could not restrain himself from admiring it. "Wow! Look at this, everybody! What car is this?" Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. "Awesome, it''s a Lamborghini! This is so cool. This car must have cost at least a few million!" "It''s Reventon, one of the most expensive Lamborghini race cars! It cost at least 15 million, and looking at itsplete specification, this must have cost around20 million! The owner must be a wealthy person!" When Chen Hao strolled to his car, he was shocked to see that his car was surrounded by a lot of people. They were mostly girls, and a small group of boys. There was not an empty space around the car. The discussion was going on heatedly. Many of the girls had glimmers in their eyes. "My god. A magnificent race car that cost almost 20 million! If I had the chance to sit in it, I''d rather die!" "Who is the owner of this car? Do we have a student of this wealth in Jin Ling College? If there is, I really wish I can be his girlfriend!" "Come quickly. Help me take a photograph. I want a picture with this car!" Click! Click! The shutters of the camera were ceaseless. Some of the girls were embarrassed to take a picture with the car. Other than ncing at the car, their eyes wandered around. They were looking for the owner of this car. If the owner was a boy and a student of Jin Ling College, they wanted to seize this opportunity. What f.. what if they caught the attention of this wealthy owner? "Excuse me, can you please make way for me to pass through¡­" Chen Hao scratched his head. He had decided to walk through the crowd. "Get away! Stop pushing!" Unexpectedly, he was pushed to the side by a girl in annoyance. Chen Hao was mad. Did you even ask for my permission to sit on my car? How could you be so rude! "Look at this guy! What a loser, he wants to take a picture of this car! Isn''t he ashamed?" "Pathetic, maybe he wants to molest some girls since it''s crowded here. What a disgusting man!" "When the owner of this Lamborghini returns, it''s still fine to see gorgeous girls like us surrounding his car, but he will certainly be mad to see a disgusting guy here!" After they left their maliciousments, they secretly took out their phones and snapped a picture intimately with the Lamborghini. "Hey, why is there such a big crowd there?" "I think someone wealthy in our college bought a Lamborghini Reventon!" "Really? That car cost around 10 or 20 million! Hurry, let''s take a look!" Chen Hao was hustled violently out of the crowd by a few girls. At the same time, the bustling noise attracted more people here. Chen Hao stood there helplessly. If he wished to embarrass the girls who taunted him earlier, it could be easily done. He just needed to press the car key. But Chen Hao was unwilling to do that, especially in public. He did not expect that he would cause such a furor even though he parked his car here instead of the college entrance. He would move the car to another ceter. This was the only solution. Chen Hao sighed. He pocketed his car key and left. Before he could step any further, his phone rang. It was an unidentified number. Chen Hao answered the call. "ls this Chen Hao? l forgot to inform you that you need to gather at the north field for the training of the driving test today at 1pm," a girl''s calm voice said. She hung up the call once she finished her sentence. The day after tomorrow would be his driver theory test.It was understandable to have training for the driving test today. Chen Hao did not mind the attitude of the caller. He rushed to the north field, looking forward to getting his driver''s license as soon as possible. When he arrived at the north field, the training had begun. A coach in sunsses was training a person to reverse park. There were eleven other students, both males and females, waiting for their turns. All of them were standing at the side, watching the training. "Seriously? It really is Chen Hao! He really came for driving lessons?" When Chen Hao walked over, a female student covered her mouth and gasped in disbelief. "I was right! See, I told you it was him. Qianqian, you lost your bet, so you owe me a meal tonight!" a boy replied gleefully. "No, that doesn''t count! Who would have thought that a poor guy like Chen Hao would register for a driving test? That is totally impossible! You must have known that Chen Hao registered for the lessons before making a bet with me! You liar!" the girl named Qianqian rebutted. They indeed saw Chen Hao on the name list when they came for driving lessons. Hence, they made a bet to guess whether it was really the poor Chen Hao from their course. They were astounded to find out that it was really Chen Hao when he arrived after the staff of the driving institute made a call. They could not believe their eyes. Chen Hao did not know them. He had only seen them around. Chen Hao recognized them only because they were both from the student council. One of them was the Head of the Discipline Department, Li Nian while the other was the Head of the Health Department, Zheng Qianqian. As a student who received subsidiaries for his college fees, Chen Hao had been ordered by Jiang Weiwei to work for them. Naturally, they knew Chen Hao as the infamous poor guy in their course. Everyone in their course had heard of this impoverished guy. The conversation between both of them drew the attention of the students around them. They gave a weird look at Chen Hao. One of the boys even gave a contemptuous smile. "Brother Nian, is this the poorest guy in your course?" He put others down in order to make himself appear superior. He regarded this broke guy as someone without a prestigious background. It would be such a waste to not ridicule this guy for his own egotism. "Extremely poor. You can''t even imagine how poor he is!" Li Nian chortled. Chen Hao did not care about the jeers. He sneered and looked at the opposite direction, ignoring the presence of Li Nian and Zheng Qianqian. He could not possibly bite a dog back if he was bitten by a dog, could he? Li Nian was provoked by Chen Hao''s response. Just when he wanted to st his anger, the student who was undergoing the training stopped the car. The car door opened, and a fair wrist could be seen. All of the students, including those from other groups, shifted their gaze to that direction. "Everybody, look! A beautiful girl just got out of the car!" Chapter 41 Punching Above Ones Weight Chapter 41 Punching Above One''s Weight Many boys came over to see. Even Li Nian turned his head to look. Chen Hao also looked curiously with his eyebrows lifted. That girl got out of the car and sure enough, she was beautiful. Chen Hao recognized her. He had just met her. It was Su Tongxin. "She''s so pretty. If only she was my girlfriend!" the boy standing next to Li Nian eximed. He looked greasy. "Shut up. There''s no way she''s going to be your girlfriend. I tell you, Wang Yang from our department likes her. You guys can only look. You want her to be your girlfriend? In your dreams!" Li Nian scoffed. "Ah, no wonder. Wang Yang is so handsome. The girl he likes is bound to be extraordinary!" As soon as the boy heard Wang Yang''s name, he became dispirited. Wang Yang was the Vice President of the Student Council of the Department of Chinese Language. His family was rich and powerful and he drove an Audi A6. Everyone in the school knew who he was. He couldn''t afford to be on the wrong side of Wang Yang. "Who has the courage to ask for that beautiful girl''s WeChat number? If anyone has it, I''m willing to give 100!¡± "It''s no use. Even if someone wants it, she might not give it either." "Besides, didn''t you just hear what that guy said? That beauty is pursued by Wang Yang..." "Wang Yang is the one who drives an Audi A6. Don''t you see his henchman supervising here? Keep your head down!" some girls said angrily. Indeed, the appearance of Su Tongxin made all the other pretty girls look less radiant. Everybody was looking at her. Chen Hao was no exception. He was eyeing Su Tongxin from head to toe. Smack! At this moment, a pebble hit him on his face. Ouch, who did that? Chen Hao turned his head to look and saw Zheng Qianqian staring angrily at him. "Chen Hao, you poor fool. Just because others are looking at beautiful girls, it doesn''t mean you can look as well. You''re not qualified!" Firstly, Zheng Qianqian owed Li Nian dinner because of Chen Hao, that poor loser. She had lost a bet with Li Nian. Secondly, she was also envious of Su Tongxin. Wasn''t she enough to attract the attention of even a poor loser? "Zheng Qianqian, are you mad? How is it your business?" Chen Hao cursed. He really wanted to p Li Nian and Zheng Qianqian. "Chen Hao!" At this moment, Su Tongxin, who had just gotten out of the car, greeted Chen Hao in surprise. Su Tongxin was rushing earlier because she needed toe here for her driving lesson. But she didn''t think that she would be stared at by a bunch of boys after she came. Although most girls liked to be looked at, being stared from head to toe and being discussed, especially when she was learning to drive, made Su Tongxin very ufortable. It was very fortunate that Su Tongxin spotted Chen Hao when she was parking her car. On the training ground, it seemed that she only knew Chen Hao, who stood there quietly. Chen Hao smiled and nodded at Su Tongxin. "Damn, what''s happening? She knows this dumba*s?" Li Nian was a bit dumbstruck. Even the rest of the boys looked curiously at Chen Hao. "He''s dressed in rags. How did he meet this goddess?" "Look, he seems to be close with her. They''re talking andughing!" Many stares mixed with envy and doubt thrown at Chen Hao''s direction, carrying the question: why is the goddess looking at you but not us, even though you''re a loser? But Chen Hao himself was surprised as well. "I didn''t think that you were learning how to drive here to¡­ Chen Hao grinned. "Ah, yes. I came here yesterday! But it''s such a coincidence. And thanks again for helping me to pay for the milk tea that afternoon..." Chen Hao had a simple exchange with her. Apart from his two female friends, Yang Xia and Ma Xiaonan, Chen Hao rarely spoke to girls and he didn''t know what to talk about. He would say things as soon as it popped into his mind, or he would only reply if she asked something. He didn''t mean anything else but those who were hearing the conversation thought otherwise. The others heard that Chen Hao paid for the milk tea for Su Tongxin. Li Nian frowned. He could tell that they knew each other. Chen Hao had even bought milk tea for Su Tongxin. Was there something between them? On this note, he texted Wang Yang immediately. He then said to Chen Hao, who was talking to Su Tongxin, "Chen Hao, are you here to learn how to drive or to chat? Are you going to waste your hard earned money? Don''t you need to practice more?" Some girls at the side looked at Chen Hao in disdain. They thought that he was well- behaved but it looked like he was the same as everyone else. Su Tongxin could hear the underlying meaning in Li Nian''s words and she retaliated, "Li Nian, why are you poking your nose into other people''s business? You failed twice in the driving test and you''re saying others are wasting money. If you have the energy, go and practice..." I... Li Nian''s face darkened in a second. Vroom! At this moment, the sound of an engine could be heard near the court. Everyone looked over there. Some girls pointed and eximed, "That Audi looks so cool!" "Damn, is that Wang Yang? The boys were talking about him, right? The Vice President of the Student Council of the Department of Chinese Language!" "He''s so hot!" Several girls looked at him dreamily. The car finally pulled up in front of Su Tongxin. The tall Wang Yang got out from the car. Behind him was Jiang Weiwei. As he got out of the car, his eyes strayed onto Su Tongxin and Chen Hao. When he received the message, he didn''t believe it but now he saw Su Tongxin was indeed standing beside Chen Hao. "Tongxin, how do you know Chen Hao?" Wang Yang was a bit curious. He was afraid that Chen Hao had tricked Su Tongxin. "We just met today, why?" Su Tongxin was not pleased by Wang Yang''s questioning attitude. "Nothing, Chen Hao didn''t tell you anything right? Did he tell you that he has friends who drive a Ferrari? I tell you, it''s all fake. We had it all investigated." Wang Yang had concluded that it was highly likely that he used 50,000 to experience driving a Ferrari and to use it to get a girl. But he didn''t think that he would reach out to Tongxin. Su Tongxin frowned. Standing beside her, Chen Hao looked at Mic Jiang Weiwei with interest. Without a doubt, she had remembered the lie he told herst time, and went to investigate. What did this woman want? His business was no concern of hers. "Chen Hao, you better stay away from Tongxin. Tongxin is the kind of girl that you can never have. And you''re such a hypocrite that you make me sick!" Jiang Weiwei remembered the day when Chen Hao got out from the Ferrari and the anxiety she felt when he said that the Ferrari belonged to a friend of his. She was so mad. Who was this guy pretending to be? She heard from Wang Yang that Chen Hao bought milk tea for Tongxin. Wasn''t this punching above one''s weight? This little speech by Jiang Weiwel made Li Nian and the others sneer at Chen Hao."Weiwei, why are you talking about Chen Hao like that?" Since thest incident in the hall, Su Tongxin had known that Weiwei was vicious to Chen Hao and she couldn''t ept it. "Tongxin, I was just afraid that you would be tricked by Chen Hao. He is definitely not what he seems to be!" Jiang Weiwei rolled her eyes at Chen Hao. "Oh yeah, Tongxin, are you free tonight? Wang Yang wants to bring you to Homecook Kitchen Restaurant for dinner. I''m on your coattails!" Jiang Weiwei said enviously. "I have my driving lesson this afternoon so I might not have time at night¡­" Su Tongxin didn''t want to go. "Oh, you can have your lesson anytime you want. It doesn''t have to be today! Tongxin, don''t tell me you want to practice with this fool? Isn''t it a waste of time being with him?" Jiang Weiwei had put Su Tongxin in an awkward situation. To go or not to go? Because if she went, it would seem like she didn''t want to be with Chen Hao and it would make Chen Hao very embarrassed. He was a nice person, or at least, that was what Su Tongxin thought. But if she didn''t go, it would make her childhood friend Jiang Weiwei unhappy. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Finally, Su Tongxin said, "I''ll go but can I bring a person along? He did me a favor and tonight I''ll treat everyone. Let''s all go out tonight, is it okay?" After she finished talking, Su Tongxin looked at Chen Hao who stood quietly beside her.. Chapter 42 m Not Leaving Today Chapter 42 ''m Not Leaving Today "What? Tongxin, you''re bringing Chen Hao?" Jiang Weiwei eximed in surprise. Chen Hao was also shocked. After the brief meeting today, Chen Hao knew that Su Tongxin was a nice girl who didn''t care whether you were rich or poor. She would be friends with you if you werea good person. She and Jiang Weiwei were worlds apart. Su Tongxin was also very considerate of others. Chen Hao was not the least bit interested in going to Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei''s gathering. They were not the same type of people! Su Tongxin nodded her head. "Weiwei, Chen Hao helped me today so I''ll treat everyone to dinner. Of course Chen Hao ising!" "You guys go ahead!" Chen Hao smiled. He understood Su Tongxin''s intention and was grateful to her. "No, you have to go!" Su Tongxin actually had another reason. She knew very well how Wang Yang felt about her. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. The only method was to put a wedge between herself and Wang Yang. Su Tongxin didn''t like Wang Yang. She really didn''t like him. Wang Yang was not happy. He couldn''t say no to Chen Hao because Su Tongxin already said it was her treat. But if Chen Hao went, Wang Yang couldn''t possibly let Su Tongxin treat him. Wouldn''t it make him a lesser man? Therefore, he said with spite, ¡°It''s alright Tongxin. How about this? It will be my treat tonight. Last time you didn''te so you have toe this time, and as for Chen Hao, I''ll let him tag along..." Su Tongxin nodded her head. Jiang Weiwei looked at Chen Hao angrily. "You should be grateful that Wang Yang is treating you to dinner! It''s because you helped Tongxin or else you wouldn''t even have the chance!" She turned her head to look at Su Tongxin. "Tongxin, see youter!" Then she left with Wang Yang. s! Chen Hao sighed inwardly. It was already decided. He had no choice but to go. At this moment, Chen Hao didn''t think about other things. He concentrated on practicing his driving. He practiced until the evening fell. Jiang Weiwei then came looking for Su Tongxin. Wang Yang would drive them to the restaurant... This time, a lot of people attended. There were girls from the Student Council and a few boys, who were close to Wang Yang, including Zheng Qianqian and Li Nian. When they rrved, Wang Yang put on an even more generous attitude and directly reserved a fancy private room. Chen Hao followed them inside. Chen Hao didn''t notice that in the hallway, a waiter who had brushed past him looked at him in shock. Then he ran downstairs quickly! Nobody knew what he was going to do. "Huh, someone must have never been to this kind of ce before and will never be entitled toe in!" As they were all getting excited, Zheng Qianqian rolled her eyes at Chen Hao and said. "Qianqian, you''re wrong. Chen Hao came here before and even hosted a student gathering. I heard that he spent a lot of money that night," Jiang Weiwei said in a weird voice. Zhen Qianqian and Li Nian were shocked. Jiang Weiwei immediately recounted that Chen Hao won a lottery and spent a lot of money on treating other students. Everyone looked at Chen Hao like he was an idiot. Chen Hao didn''t speak. He just sat there quietly. "You won the lottery?" Su Tongxin asked delightedly. "Yes, just a bit!" Chen Hao smiled. "Why did you spend all the money instead of saving it?" Su Tongxin asked. "Save it? Young Master Chen''s vanity is so strong, S0 how could he have saved the money? Haha¡­" Wang Yang just entered the room and heard everyone discussing Chen Hao winning the lottery. He just couldn''t pass up the chance to make fun of him. "Alright everyone, let''s get seated. Oh right, when I was downstairs, I just met the president of the student council of another department.I invited them so they might be having dinner with uster!" Wang Yang said,smiling smugly. "That''s great but Wang Yang,even though our room is a deluxe room. it''s a small and delicate one.Will so many people fit into this room?" When Jiang Weiwei heard that there was another president of the student council there, she was interested as well. They were social butterflies and Jiang Weiwei was a girl who loved socializing. "Yes, there are three people. If there were two we could squeeze them in but now there''s one extra person!¡± Wang Yang scratched his head and pretended to be worried. Chen Hao could hear that this was meant for him. But to be honest, he came today on Su Tongxin''s behalf. Sometimes gatherings were like this, where you invited one person, that person might bring another friend. Though it would make the host ufortable, the host couldn''t do anything about it. Now, Chen Hao was the extra friend that Su Tongxin brought along. Haha, whatever, Chen Hao thought. He saw drinks on the turntable and he wanted to grab one. But somebody spun the turntable away from him. There was a jug of tea in front of him now so Chen Hao could only drink tea. Before he even reached it, it was spun away again. F*ck! Who''s doing this? Chen Hao started and raised his head to see Jiang Weiwei holding the turntable with one hand and ring angrily at him. "Chen Hao, didn''t you hear what Wang Yang said? He said there''s one extra person!" "It''s not my business." This woman, don''t let me have the chance or I will punish you. I''ll strip her naked and hit her on the bum. Chen Hao really had enough of Jiang Weiwei. "Where is his dignity? He wants to eat for free and take up space?" Zheng Qianqian said in disdain. She was clearly siding Wang Yang. She had always looked down on Chen Hao so her words were merciless. "Tongxin, how about this? Let Chen Hao go home and we can treat him next time! See now, he''s the odd one out!" Jiang Weiwei was starting to persuade Su Tongxin. Su Tongxin frowned. If she had known this would happen, she and Chen Hao would not havee in the first ce, Su Tongxin W.s debating whether they should leave together. Zhen Qianqian pointed to a small table nearby. "It''s alright if he doesn''t leave. He can eat over there. We can give him some food. Is that okay?" "I think that''s a great idea! It saves Chen Hao from getting toofortable with the expensive food he will be eating. I''m afraid he won''t be able to get used to it!" Li Nianughed. These people were too vicious! To be honest, Chen Hao wanted to leave immediately. But when Chen Hao stood up, he changed his mind. Leave? If he left then wouldn''t he have wasted his whole day being ridiculed by them? Damn you, I''m not leaving today. Why would I let you take advantage of me on my turf? Chen Hao thought. He nodded his head and said, "Sure, I''ll eat at that tiny table!" Then, pulling up a chair, he sat at the small table. At this moment, the doors of the private room opened... Chapter 43 How Did You Meet This Upstart? Chapter 43 How Did You Meet This Upstart? In came a boy, two girls and the manager Chen Hao met thest time. The boy and two girls were from the other department. The boy was quite tall and handsome. The two girls wore short dresses and they looked cute. It seemed like they were a part of the drama where a senior was trying to hit on junior girls. Every time Chen Hao saw this, he had a bitter taste in his mouth. Why didn''t pretty girls like him? He sighed. The tall boy greeted everyone. Then he saw Chen Hao sitting at the side. "Hey brother, my name is Du Lei. I''m from the Department of Management... Let''s be friends?" That boy smiled while greeting Chen Hao and he gave the immediate impression of being worldly. The two cute girls peered at Chen Hao curiously. But when they saw Chen Hao in his outfit, they looked at him with contempt. "Ahem, Du Lei, you don''t have to introduce yourself to him. His name is Chen Hao. He''s a poor loser in our department and he''s scrounging for a free meal today." Li Nian, as a department head, recognized Du Lei. He wasughing when he said that. ¡°Oh I thought... Oh well!" He smiled mildly and quickly retracted his hand. Afterward, he chatted happily with Wang Yang and the others. Su Tongxin was extremely angry. She really wanted to leave with Chen Hao. She regretted bringing him here. But Chen Hao was looking at everything smilingly and his pride was not in the least bit hurt, which made Su Tongxin a bit curious. "C-Chen..." The female manager who had juste in saw Chen Hao and froze in shock. She heard from the waiter that the upstart was here again. Of course, if Chen Hao was an ordinary upstart, the manager would not have behaved in this manner. The waiter didn''t know that she had met Chen Hao through the executive manager of Home cook Kitchen Restaurant. This was the owner of Jin Ling Commercial Street, Young Master Chen! She didn''t dare to speak because she waspletely bbergasted by what Wang Yang and Li Nian said. Wasn''t Young Master Chen the host today? She didn''t understand what was going on so she just said the word ''Chen'' and did not dare to continue. "Why are you here?" she said softly. She couldn''t keep herself calm. "Oh, didn''t you hear? I''m scrounging a free meal!" Chen Hao smiled. He didn''t think he would be recognized but it was better this way. It would save him a trip downstairs. "Yes, I heard!" The manager nodded her head, speaking quietly. "Hi, Manager Jin. We were just about to order. You didn''t have to grace us with your presence!" Only then did Wang Yang see the manager and grin. It was a moment of glory for him. But Manager Jin did not dare to say anything. Wang Yang didn''t notice and started ordering food. "Wang Yang, there are only two special dishes, so can we order some more?" Zheng Qianqian said hopefully. What was the point ofing to Home cook Kitchen Restaurant if it weren''t for the special dishes? Jiang Weiwei wanted Wang Yang to order a few more special dishes but they were too expensive. She didn''t want Wang Yang to spend too much money on them. So she said, "These two are fine. A special dish costs 1,000 each!'' "Wow!" Zheng Qianqian froze. Even the two girls that Du Lei brought were shocked. Home cook Kitchen Restaurant was indeed extraordinary. "Chen... Erm, Sir, what would you like to have?" the manager asked carefully. ¡°Hmph, he can eat what''s left from our dishes. Why are you letting him order?" Li Nian scoffed. "Yeah, who is he anyway? What else does he want?" Zheng Qianqian rolled her eyes. Wang Yang smiled without saying anything. To be honest, he didn''t even feel like giving Chen Hao a te of shredded potatoes. Thank god Li Nian was here tonight. Or else Wang Yang wouldn''t have known how to make fun of him in front of Su Tongxin. Of course, he was happy to watch. "It''s alright. You can have all the food that you''ve ordered and I''ll order something for myself." Chen Hao smiled bitterly. He wanted to teach Wang Yang a lesson today but under these circumstances, these people would teach him a lesson first. Secondly, with Li Nian and Jiang Weiwei present, it was hard for him to even ce an order. Thirdly, he couldn''t stand their ridicule. So he decided to order for himself. "This sounds more like it. But what can you order?" Zheng Qianqian scoffed. "Um, I would like to have sour and spicy shredded potatoes and a bowl of noodles, please.¡± Chen Hao smiled. "Wow! Damn, is he a fool or what?" "Who is this person? How could he be so dumb? Where does he think he is? Ordering shredded potatoes and noodles?" After Chen Hao ordered, everyone was in shock and then they were all looking at him condescendingly. ¡°I''ll go right away!" The manager did not dare to slight him. Chen Hao didn''t want them to annoy him with their questions, so he ordered food that was cheap. If he wanted, he could have ordered whatever he liked, simr to thest time he was here. But now, he would eat below his means. Su Tongxin looked at Chen Hao with interest. Chen Haoughed. ¡°If you guys aren''t full, you cane over and try the noodles!" "Sure!" Seeing that Chen Hao was alright, Su Tongxin grinned merrily. "This boy is amazing!" Du Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly." Haha, Du Lei, let''s not talk about him. Let''s talk about you! How did you end up with these two beauties?" Wang Yang looked at Du Lei, smiling. The two girls beside Du Lei were indeed gorgeous. Especially their long, fair legs. "Haha, it''s nothing actually. I just promised to take them on a ride in my good friend''s luxury car!" Du Lei replied mischievously. "Your good friend? Luxury car? What luxury car could appeal to these two beauties?" Li Nian asked curiously. Du Lei lit a cigarette. "Oh, didn''t you know there was a Lamborghini Reventon parked near our school?" "Lamborghini?" Everyone was shocked. No one in their school had ever driven a Lamborghini. "Damn, Reventon, the one that''s nearly twenty million?" Li Nian eximed in surprise. Even Jiang Weiwei and the girls widened their eyes. "Yes, that''s the one. The one that''s stationed at the park near our school. It belongs to my friend and we''re really close." Du Lei inhaled a mouthful of smoke and smiled mildly. Next to them, Chen Hao was startled. Since when did he be friends with him? But after a while, Chen Hao got it. This boy is probably using his Lamborghini to hit on other girls. Seeing his face full of mischief, Chen Hao understood. "I know. I saw the photos on the forum. I can''t believe it''s real!" Zheng Qianqian shouted excitedly. Then, she pulled up the photos from the forum and showed it to others. "Let me see! Let me see!" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Jiang Weiwei inhaled. A lot of girls went over to see the photos. "Wow! That''s a handsome Lamborghini!" The girls screamed. Even Wang Yang was attracted to it. Who could resist a car with a cool hood? More importantly, this car was worth nearly twenty million. ¡°Du Lei, is it true? How are you friends with such an awesome guy? How did you get to know him?" Wang Yang was downright jealous. Even Chen Hao looked over to Du Lei. Yeah, how did you get to know the owner? Chapter 44 Chen Hao Was Filthy Rich Chapter 44 Chen Hao Was Filthy Rich ¡°We would risk our lives for each other but his identity has to remain a secret. My good friend told me not to spill! Haha!¡± Du Lei put out his cigarette and smiled mildly. Everyone looked at him with reverence, especially Jiang Weiwei. She was very impressed. Zheng Qianqian got all misty-eyed. If it was true, would she have the chance to sit in that Lamborghini that made countless people go mad? The boys, on the other hand, were very jealous of Du Lei. ¡°Du Lei, are you telling the truth? Don''t use the same trick that you used with those second-tier celebrities. You''re pulling our legs, aren''t you?¡± Wang Yang couldn''t believe it. He knew Du Lei. His family wasn''t extraordinarily wealthy and he was just a minor upstart. How could he have possibly met someone like that? And Du Lei had a habit of telling lies. "I¡¯m not pulling your legs. Why would I joke around with a car that costs twenty million? C''mon, you guys!" Du Leiughed bitterly. "Du Lei, I believe you!" Jiang Weiwei smiled at Du Lei. She nced asionally at the luxury car in the photo. She was overwhelmed. She would do anything to sit in there, even if it was just once. She had a chance and this chance was through Du Lei. There was a possibility that she could get to know this wealthy owner! Chen Hao wasughing bitterly at the side. The keys were still inside his pocket. Now he had unknowingly be someone''s good friend. But he was most mad about the fact that Du Lei was hitting on the two beauties with his car. If he himself was in that car, would it be easier to get a girl? Even Jiang Weiwei? Chen Hao thought, Am I being too low- profile? It''s not really to my advantage! Smack! At this moment, Chen Hao felt something hit his face. He raised his head and saw that it was Jiang Weiwei who had thrown a paper ball at him. "Hmph, why are you eavesdropping? Do you want to ride that Lamborghini? I''m sure you can, if you go and change your sex... Jiang Weiwei scoffed. "What kind of transgender would want this poor loser?" Li Nianughed loudly. In a sh, he was everyone''s target again. Fortunately, the waiters had started to serve the dishes. Even Chen Hao''s noodles and shredded potato were served. "Wow, the dishes look so delicious! It looks so high-ss!" "Of course. Good food has to be paired with good wine. Today let''s try this red wine. It''s 2,000 for a bottle." Wang Yang smiled as he spoke. The others were impressed. Chen Hao, who was in the corner, was ignored by them. Chen Hao was eating the noodles and shredded potatoes. He was feeling quite hungry. At this moment, the doors of the private room were pushed open again. Outside stood a row of waiters who were carrying expensive and high-ss specialty dishes. These specialty dishes were presented on smaller tes because Chen Hao''s table was notrge enough. ¡°Our... our dishes have already been served. I think these aren''t ours?" Wang Yang was shocked. "Hi Sir, these aren''t for you. It''s for Mister Chen!" Chen Hao looked at the waiter and thought. Damn, I didn''t order these. "Wait a minute, I''m only paying for this table. These are ordered by Chen Hao and it''s not our problem." Wang Yang was frightened. If he was paying for all of this, it would be extremely expensive. These were all specialty dishes and he had just ordered two. "Haha, don''t be mistaken. It''s because Mr Chen ordered so these areplimentary dishes!" With that, the waitress pped her hands. One after another, the specialties were served. Some were dishes that they had never seen before. There were twelve dishes in total. The table of Chen Hao was overflowing with food. These dishes cost at least 20,000 to30,000. "H-he just ordered shredded potato and you gave him this manyplimentary dishes?" Jiang Weiwei stood up, gaping. She was stunned. She wanted to try all the specialty dishes of Home cook Kitchen Restaurant at one go but it was not possible. Even if she ordered two specialties each time, she would have toe a dozen times. Besides, who would be able to bring her here a dozen times? Here a dozen times? The specialty dishes were so expensive! But when Chen Hao ordered noodles and shredded potatoes, they served him twelve dishes. And these dishes were of top ss! Other than Jiang Weiwei, Zheng Qianqian and the others were in shock as well. They looked at Chen Hao incredulously. Even Chen Hao did not see iting from the manager. With this much of special dishes, he couldn''t finish either. Then he looked at Su Tongxin and asked, "Miss Su Tongxin, would you like to dine with me?" Su Tongxin didn''t think that it was anything embarrassing. And she felt that Chen Hao was full of mystery. Why did others respect him so much? Smiling, she went over to sit with him. She sat opposite Chen Hao. The look on Wang Yang''s face was one of incredulous fury. "Ha! I know, is it because he ordered shredded potatoes so they gave himplimentary dishes? Are they doing a promotion?" Zheng Qianqian could not believe her eyes. She wanted to eat but she was very embarrassed to do so. "Yes. Maybe the restaurant is doing a promotion!" Wang Yang said sulkily. At this moment, a waiter came across. Wang Yang asked him directly, ¡°Say, is it real that we can get a specially rmended dish for free if we order the fried shredded potato?¡± The waiter was dumbfounded. He distained, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why not just ask for that rmended dish for free and all? Dumbass!¡± Finished, he strode away relentlessly. Homecook is influential in Jinling Commercial street, where in customers should do anything but asking for a tiny trouble. Wang Yang was met with a chill. The chill almost kicked his brain out: how dumb he was to even ask that question! ¡°Chen Hao, can you take them all yourself?¡± Jiang Weiwei got offended. What a man! Chen Hao didn¡¯t even mean a slight bit of chivalry to share the food. ¡°Oh! You juste if you like them.¡± ¡°Goof!¡± Jiang Weiwei was almost choked to death. She did want to try the dish, however the lunch was totally ruined. ¡°I see.¡± The blushed Wang Yang, then, suddenly realized something, as if he had juste to his sense. "Chen Hao, you have spent a lotst time, right? I heard that you have spent tens of thousands of dors, is that the reason why the manager serves you these free dishes?" Wang Yang couldn''t figure out other reasons. Only this reason could please him. "Maybe..." Chen Hao smiled. He was tucking in his meal. "Enjoy your meal now, let wait and see if you could still at easetter!" Wang Yang''s face suddenly changed. He stood up. This time, Chen Hao smacked everyone present in the face. Especially Wang Yang, who didn''t dare to order the specials. However, the twelve specials were served for free to Chen Hao. Knowing clearly Wang Yang had a crush on Su Tongxin, Chen Hao still invited Su Tongxin for dinner in front of everyone. How embarrassed he was! "Wang Yang, what do you mean?" Jiang Weiwei was confused. "What a question! Didn''t Chen Ge win 200,000? Last time he treated Lu Yang and was tricked to spent one hundred and fifty thousand. The Ferrari test drive costed him another 50,000. Now he doesn''t even have a penny with him at all!" "And this hotel serve him well because of his money, what if we tell the manager that he was a pauper now!" Wang Yang staring at Chen Hao with a cold sneer, "what a fool, the hotel has given him such a big favor only for retaining him as a repeat customer. They won''t let him go so easily if they know there is no hope in it." Li Nian sneered. ¡°Good for him. He won 200,000, but he spent it all for once. Amazing!¡± Du Lei said nothing but smiled. While other girls looked towards Chen Hao and shook their heads slightly. ¡°No, Brother Yang, if we said in the said, Jiayuan Kitchen may think we are with him and cause us in troubles, after all, we are in the same room!¡± Li Nianyi said. ¡°You are right. Let¡¯s go down stairs and tell them, in case that they misunderstood us!¡± ¡°Ok!¡± Wang Yang nced at Chen Hao fiercely, and took him downstairs. Su Tongxin was nerves and said, ¡°Chen Hao, are they telling the truth? Did you really spend 150,000 here, so the managers brought you so many dishes?¡± Chen Hao said with a smile, ¡°It is ok. Are you full now? If you are, I will check the bill. Don¡¯t worry about that!¡± Su Tongxin nodded. And then she followed him downstairs where Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei had begun their feast. "Manager, look! He is a dingleberry who cannot even afford a pair of pants. In no case do you buy that he is rich!" Wang Yang said, pointing at Chen Hao. "True. Your dishes are going to be wasted on him, who would never get the money enough to dine here if not for us!'' Li Nian also joined the line. "Let him work here already.After all, he ate them all himself alone. I feel sorry for the food, my manager! You know what. He won 200,000 and spent 150,000 here right away. Plus, he bought things. I bet that he is broke now!" Zheng Qianqian followed up. While manager Jin of the Hall stood quietly, daring to reply nothing to no one. The incident had made the lobby inundated with onlookers . ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Looks like the poor loser bit off more than he could chew, and has been seen through his ruse.¡± ¡°Wow! What a freak!¡± And Chen Hao turned a deaf ear to the gossips. He walked down unhurriedly towards Ms. King. He smiled bitterly, ¡°Ms. King, how much money is left in my ount?¡± Actually, the money left in his ount referred to the refund of Chen Hao standing treatst time. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Because, the money had to be returned back to Chen Hao¡¯s ount anyway. ¡°Mr. Chen, there is nearly 40,000 left.¡± ¡°Sss..¡± Everyone present was surprised at the bnce. ¡°OK. Then make it a round figure. I¡¯ll recharge another 50,000.¡± In an instant, Chen Hao took out his credit card to swipe it through the POS machine. The 50,000 arrived at his ount at once! ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Jesus!¡± ¡°That¡¯s 50,000!¡± Wang Yang was shocked with his eyes wide open. He couldn¡¯t believe what he saw now. And Jiang Weiwei was even short of breath. The rest, were dumbfounded. It was impossible! They had thought that Chen Hao had been already broken as he had run out of the 40,000. But now, Chen Hao had 40,000 in his ount in Household Kitchen, as well as the 50,000 that he had just recharged. Now, he had 90,000 dors! ¡°Chen Hao! How much had you won?¡± Jiang Weiwei eximed. She spected that Chen Hao might have won millions. Chapter 45 Chen Hao, Let Me be Your Girlfriend Chapter 45 Chen Hao, Let Me be Your Girlfriend "Mister Chen, let us arrange a ride home for you!" the manager said respectfully. Soon, a BMW 7 Series that costs a few million stopped at the entrance. Wang Yang and the others were astounded. They thought that Chen Hao had finished spending the 200,000. Who knew that he won so much more than 200,000! At the same time, everyone could tell that Chen Hao didn''t care about the 500,000 that he was holding, which was to say the amount of money that Chen Hao had was unbelievable. "Tongxin, do you want to go back together?" Chen Hao sat in the car and rolled down the window, smiling at Su Tongxin. To be honest, Chen Hao had feelings for this gorgeous and kind SuTongxin. Well, perhaps ''kind'' wasn''t exactly the right word. But at least Su Tongxin wasn''t like Yang Xia or Jiang Weiwei, who despised the poor and curried favors with the rich to a very severe extent. "Sure!" Su Tongxinughed and climbed into the car. Jiang Weiwei''s face went pale. The BMW 7 Series was definitely imported and worth a few million. She wanted to sit in it too but Chen Hao, that as*hole, didn''t even look at her and had cruised off. Wang Yang''s face turned green with envy and his heart filled with hatred. On the road. "Chen Hao, how much money did you win? Can you tell me?" Su Tongxin and Chen Hao were seated at the back and she couldn''t help but ask curiously. "There has been some misunderstanding. | didn''t actually win any money. The lottery was just a lie." Chen Hao didn''t want to tell her everything but he didn''t want to lie either. "So what''s going on?¡± Su Tongxin thought that Chen Hao was getting more and more mysterious. "I''ll tell you in the future! Besides, we wouldn''t be friends for just a few days right?" "Of course not!" Su Tongxin could also tell Chen Hao didn''t want to share his secret. Perhaps it was better that way. If he had told her everything, he wouldn''t be mysterious anymore and she would be less intrigued. Chen Hao told the driver to drop Su Tongxin at the entrance of the female''s dormitory. Then, he got out of the car as well and told the driver to leave. He would walk. "Chen Hao!" At this moment, someone jumped in front of him, taking him by fright. At a second nce, it was Zheng Qianqian. ¡°How did you arrive so quickly?" Chen Hao said in disbelief. Compared to Jiang Weiwei, Zheng Qianqian was even worse in despising the poor and currying favors with the rich. Ignoring what had just happened, Chen Hao had also heard rumors about Zheng Qianqian. She was indeed beautiful, with big breasts, long legs and a delicate face. She was especially sexy. But she only associated herself with the rich and famous. She dated a lot of people and had very high standards. And it was rumored that she had once hit it off with Wang Yang. Therefore, Chen Hao had nothing to say to her. "Hmph, you didn''t even invite me to ride in that car! How could you?" Zheng Qianqian didn''t answer Chen Hao but poked Chen Hao in his chest sadly. Her attitude had changed in a blink of an eye. Chen Hao could not take that level of hypocrisy. "Zheng Qianqian, it''s gettingte. Go back to your dorm!" Chen Hao replied quickly. "Hmph, I won''t be able to sleep. Why do you hate me so much? I know, it has to be because of my attitude toward you before. But do you know why?" Zheng Qianqian put her hands on her hips. "Why?" "I know you''re a nice guy but even though you look presentable, you don''t have taste. Take a look at your clothes, they''re turning white from being overwashed! I hate people who have bad taste!" "I don''t know how Yang Xia was as a girlfriend but I think you need a girlfriend who knows how to dress you up!" Zheng Qianqian''s meaning was very clear. Chen Hao was rich, really rich! If she became Chen Hao''s girlfriend, she knew that he would spend all his money on herself. Besides, even though Chen Hao was inly dressed, he was actually quite handsome. Now that she knew he was rich, he could totally be her boyfriend. She didn''t care if she had treated Chen Hao badly before this. Haha, I don''t care about my own dignity, she thought. "Um...girlfriend huh? I wasn''t considering it.¡± Chen Hao thought, even if I wanted a girlfriend, it wouldn''t be you. How many times would you cheat on me? ¡°No, you should consider it. I''ll suck it up and be your girlfriend. I really don''t want to go back to the dorm tonight." She batted her eyshes and leaned toward Chen Hao. To be frank, Zheng Qianqian didn''t have much virtue but she was one hot-looking babe. Chen Hao was a bit tempted. He would definitely not let her be his girlfriend but he would take revenge by getting a one night stand. But at this moment, Chen Hao''s phone rang. It was Yang Hui. "What''s up, Yang Hui?" Chen Hao calmed down and picked up his phone. "Chen Hao,e back to the dorm right now! Something happened to Yang Hui!" It wasn''t Yang Hui who spoke but Li Rui, his good friend. He sounded very anxious. Chen Hao gathered himself and started running toward his dorm. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Zheng Qianqian stomped her feet and eximed spitefully, "Hmph! You can''t escape, Chen Hao. One day you''ll be mine!" But Chen Hao was worried about Yang Hui so he ran like the wind. He pushed open the doors of the dormitory. What he did not expect was a squirt of beer from a can. They poured it all over his face. Then came the guffawing of his roommates. ¡°F*ck, what happened?" Chen Hao wiped the alcohol off his face. He scanned the room and saw that everyone was there, including Yang Hui and Li Rui. The table in the dorm was filled with food and beer, all unmoved. Clearly, they were waiting for Chen Hao. "It''s a big day, Chen Hao. Our boss got himself a girl!" Li Ruiughed. Chen Hao exhaled a sigh of relief. It was such a shock to him. He thought Yang Hui was in some kind of trouble. But he was happy to hear that Yang Hui was no longer single. "Who''s the girl?" Chen Hao caught the beer that Li Rui tossed and gulped it down. It felt amazing! "Xu Xia! Tonight, when we were in the cafeteria having dinner, she agreed to be with me!" Yang Hui scratched his head, grinning like a fool. Chen Hao already guessed that it was Xu Xia. After spending some time with her, Chen Hao knew that Xu Xia was close with Lin Jiao and Zhao Yifan but they were not the same type of people. She was quite nice. And Yang Hui really liked Xu Xia. Now they were finally together. Chen Hao envied them and was happy for them. "Come, cheers for our boss!" "Cheers!" The six friends wereughing merrily. At this moment, Yang Hui''s phone had an iing video call. It was from Xu Xia. "Yang Hui, what are you doing?" Xu Xia''s gentle voice rang out. ¡°I¡¯m drinking with my brothers...¡± Haha, when do you n to treat us to a drink, brother-inw?" On the other side of the video call, Lin Jiao and the others had already crowded in front of the phone. "Sure, after all the people in our dorm are not single. You guys have to help out!" Yang Huiughed and pointed the camera to Chen Hao, Li Rui and the others. Chen Hao saw that beside Xu Xia, Zhao Yifan had just finished washing her hair and was about to remove her makeup. Apparently, Zhao Yifan saw Chen Hao too... Chapter 46 Chen Haos decision Chapter 46 Chen Hao''s decision In the girl''s dorm. Zhao Yifan was looking at Chen Hao, who was on the screen. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Her heart pounded quickly. Even her gorgeous face was suddenly looking a bit nervous. A lot had happened between Chen Hao and her recently. She had always looked down on Chen Hao until the incident that happened at the opening ceremony of Ming Huang Restaurant of Zhuang Qiang''s family. She suspected that Chen Hao was the powerful Young Master Chen. Even till now, Zhao Yifan could not believe that the person whom she had always disliked was a rich and powerful upstart. This was too embarrassing. But Chen Hao''s actions made her feel like he had nothing to do with that rich Young Master Chen! In conclusion, Zhao Yifan had mixed feelings about Chen Hao. She was so bothered by him that even when she shut her eyes, she could still see Chen Hao''s face. Chen Hao was the one who helped her. Initially, she had mistaken Zhuang Qiang as her saviour, so she became his girlfriend. Now that she knew the truth, was she going to be Chen Hao''s girlfriend? "Well, Chen Hao, why aren''t you greeting us?" Xu Xia seemed to have noticed that Zhao Yifan wasn''t her usual self so she tried to make the situation less awkward. On the other hand, Yang Hui and Xu Xia were really in tune with each other. The two pointed their phones at Zhao Yifan and Chen Hao like they were the protagonists. "Hi guys, congrattions to you Xu Xia. You''re finally together with Yang Hui!" Chen Hao waved generously although he was no longer interested in being friends with Zhao Yifan. But for the sake of Yang Hui and Xu Xia, Chen Hao didn''t want to make it awkward. The way that Zhao Yifan behaved in general just made Chen Hao feel disappointed. "Thank you Chen Hao! But Yang Hui and I were discussing tonight and we thought that maybe it was time for you to get a girlfriend! If you see someone you like, I could help you!" Upon saying this, Xu Xia winked, hinting at Chen Hao to go after Zhao Yifan. "Yes, Chen Hao. Time for you to get a girlfriend to tame you!" Lin Jiao said, speaking directly to the camera. Though Chen Hao''s background remained a mystery, Lin Jiao knew that Chen Hao was not as simple as he seemed. The fact that Bai Xiaofei had invited Chen Hao to sit with him was enough proof! Lin Jiao was also preparing to make a move on Chen Hao soon. "Sure, sure. We can talk about itter. You can talk to Yang Hui now!" Chen Hao smiled. Then he continued drinking with Li Rui and the rest. Everyone was in high spirits and Chen Hao drank a lot. It waste at night. Chen Hao was lying on his bed and thinking about the events that happened these few days. It was true that Chen Hao had met several girls that made his heart thud. There was Yang Xia and Zhao Yifan. Although Zhao Yifan didn''t like him, to be frank, her beauty really made Chen Hao''s heart do flip-flops. Then there was Su Tongxin, who made him feel like he was in the clouds. Inparison, Su Tongxin was prettier and had certain elegance to her. Chen Hao was somewhat of a douchebag because he liked every pretty girl that he saw. What was more, Su Tongxin was someone beautiful who didn''t despise the poor and curry favor with the rich. Should I really get a girlfriend? Chen Hao thought. The next day, his only ss in the morning just ended. "Chen Hao, are you free?" Yang Hui patted Chen Hao''s shoulders. "Yeah!" "Great. Can youe with me to the gift shop? I want to buy a gift for Xu Xia, so can you help me out?" Yang Hui smiled. To be honest, Chen Hao was the only one among them who had a girlfriend in university. He dated Yi Xia and she was not easy to satisfy. Chen Hao had bought many gifts for Yang Xia so he was quite experienced. Yang Hui wanted Chen Hao toe along. Of course, Chen Hao agreed. Chen Hao was excited as well when Yang Hui mentioned the gift shop. Last night, Chen Hao had decided to go after Su Tongxin regardless of his probability of sess. Therefore, buying presents was a must. Chen Hao and Yang Hui went to a mid-range gift shop near the school''s entrance. Though it couldn''t bepared with luxury goods, there were also high-end products that cost 20,000 to 30,000. There were clothes, shoes and bags! It was definitely mid-range. Yang Hui wasn''t from a rich family but the fact that he was shopping here meant that he was sincere toward Xu Xia. The two boys shopped around for quite some time. They finally came to a high-end women''s wear store. Chen Hao was looking around to see if anything fitted Su Tongxin. Bam! Just as Chen Hao was passing a fitting room, the doors of the fitting room were pushed open violently and it hit Chen Hao. Then he heard a charming voice. "No means no. Even if we wanted to do it, we can''t do it here. Buy me this clothing first and we''ll see!" It was a girl''s voice and she sounded very coquettish. "You''ve already bought two pieces today, you''re still buying? These are expensive!" There was a guy and a girl in that tiny fitting room. Judging by their conversation, one could guess what the boy was trying to do. Many people gave them a sidelong nce. "Yes, I want this one too. These two only add up to 30,000 and you can''t even buy them for me. Didn''t you say you were rich?" the girl said with dissatisfaction. Then they walked out. When she saw a silly boy who was blocking her way, she shoved him angrily. ¡°You better...." But before she could finish her sentence, she was startled by the person in front of her. That person was Chen Halo. Chen Hao was a bit overwhelmed. He heard a buzzing sound inside his head because the girl in front of him was Yang Xia! "Sh*t, what bad luck. Chen Hao, I didn''t think I would see you here!" Yang Xia crossed her arms in front of her chest coldly and brushed her ruffled hair. Lu Chen walked out of the fitting room as well. He looked at Chen Hao mockingly. "What''s the matter, you poor douchebag? Why is your face red? Are you angry because I nearly did it with him? Are you especially jealous that my new boyfriend is so rich? You lottery-winning fool. You could neverpare to him, could you?" Yang Xia looked smugly at Chen Hao. She remembered the time she and Lu Chen were making out in the woods. She had just broken up with Chen Hao and he ran into them. Yang Xia had tricked Chen Hao into breaking up, saying that she wanted to have some quiet time for herself. So she was quite embarrassed back then. But today, Yang Xia felt a sense of pride and even a thrill. She liked to see Chen Hao ufortable and helpless. It was an amazing feeling! Although Chen Hao said that he was disappointed in Yang Xia, he really couldn''t stand it when Yang Xia behaved like that. Based on their conversation just now, it was apparent that Lu Chen didn''t get to have his way. But to imagine Yang Xia pressed against the fitting room and him touching her was enough to make Chen Hao''s blood boil. "Yang Xia, although we have already broken up, I hope you can still take good care of yourself and respect yourself." Chen Hao said mildly. "Haha, it''s none of your business. I can have sex with anyone I like. Chen Hao, I know you want to sleep with me. Don''t you feel jealous? Ha...." Yang Xiaughed smugly. "Let me tell you something. Girls are realistic. Anyone who gives her good things deserves to be with her!" "Young Master Lu did not just buy me a phone. The piece of clothing that I''m holding now costs 10,000 to 20,000. What about you, Chen Hao? Have you ever bought me anything? You finally have a shopping card and you used it on Ma Xiaonan? You deserve all that you''ve got!" Chapter 47 Could Not Afford It Chapter 47 Could Not Afford It Yang Xia was still very mad at him. Especially regarding the incident where Chen Hao bought the Hermes bag and humiliated them at the store! Now, she was pointing at Chen Hao and screaming just to get back at him! ¡°Hi students, this is a public ce, so please don''t make such a bigmotion!" A female staff member went over and smiled politely at Yang Xia. Yang Xia was talking too loudly and she was affecting other customers. "What do you mean? Are you trying to turn me away? Do you know how much I spent in your store? The people you should be driving away are them!" Yang Xia said meanly, "I want to speak to your manager! Who will you drive away? The real customers who are here to shop for expensive items, or those who don''t have money but are pretending to shop?" Hearing her words, the salesgirl was frightened. The manager walked over and it seemed like this girl was a tough cookie. Her job might be on the line. The salesgirl thought that it was hard to be a service provider nowadays. Lu Chen crossed his arms and smiled, spectating. His vanity was satisfied because everyone was looking. Yang Hui had picked something that cost 1,000 but when he heard Yang Xia make fun of Chen Hao, he put the clothing down and pulled Chen Hao away. "Come on, Chen Hao, let''s go. We can go to another ce." He had already chosen something for Xu Xia but if he purchased it, Yang Xia would definitely put Chen Hao in a difficult position. Even though she wouldn''t make fun of Yang Hui, he still chose not to buy. After all, he was the one who invited Chen Hao. ¡°Go?" Chen Hao smiled lightly. "Why do we have to go? We''re here to buy clothes too!" Chen Hao nced at Yang Xia and Lu Chen. Chen Hao felt something was amiss with Lu Chen. He had heard that Lu Chen was more generous than before, which meant that he was rich. Even though his family was rich, he never used to spend money that recklessly. Now Yang Xia''s standards had already risen to clothes worth 10,000 and above. But every time he saw his ex -girlfriend, Yang Xia, Chen Hao had the urge to defend his pride. Because Yang Xia was the girl that he had loved dearly and was hurt deeply by. Then, he turned to look at the salesgirl. "Bring out the most expensive clothes in the store!" "Huh?" The salesgirl was startled but it was the customer''s wish after all. She went away hurriedly. "Ha, Chen Hao, do you have any money left? You''ve spent all 200,000, can you even afford it?" "Yeah, don''t embarrass yourself!" Yang Xia and Lu Chen scoffed. Yang Xia thought, You''reparing yourself to me? Chen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Can I afford it? He could afford to pay for all the clothes in this shop. Yang Xia, if only you hadn''t broken up with me. I would have bought you everything you wanted! Then, the salesgirl came over with some luxurious clothes. When Yang Xia caught a glimpse of one of the price tags, she froze. It costs 80,000 per piece? F*ck! The salesperson took these out on Chen Hao''s request but she also had her own reasons. Judging from Chen Hao''s attire, he would not be able to afford the clothes here. But there were lots of people in the store. Bringing out these high-end clothes could definitely be a good advertising opportunity. There were five pieces of clothing in total, all in different styles. The total of these clothes was a little more than 200,000. Yang Xia looked at the clothes in her hands which were worth 1 5,000 apiece and felt them lose their radiance. She looked at Lu Chen pleadingly. Lu Chen felt his face heat up. Out of these five pieces, the cheapest was around 70,000. It was too f*cking expensive! ¡°I''ll take one! Yang Hui, choose one as well, consider it a present!" Chen Hao grinned. Yang Hui was unwilling at first. That clothing was too expensive and he didn''t want Chen Hao to spend that much money. Yang Hui guessed that the money that Chen Hao won in the lottery was almost used up. But when Yang Hui saw the determined look that Chen Hao gave him, he knew that Chen Hao would not joke about these matters. Therefore, he went ahead. It didn''t take Chen Hao and Yang Hui long to choose the two most expensive pieces. "Can you even afford it?" Yang Xia refused to back down. Then she turned to Lu Chen and said, "Young Master Lu, I want one too!" "I''m sure this poor loser can''t afford it.¡± We''ll see how he embarrasses himself! Xia, I don''t have much money left for this week!" When Lu Chen saw that the money that he had earned with difficulty was nearly spent, he felt anxious. So he tried to persuade Yang Xia hurriedly. The salesgirl didn''t think that Chen Hao would actually buy it. However, his card was already in his hand and he was ready to pay. Two pieces cost more than 100,000. They picked the most expensive ones! "Damn, is he really buying them?" "I thought it was just a petty fight between an ex-boyfriend and boyfriend. Damn, can this boy really afford to buy 100,000 worth of clothes?" "Well, the boyfriend has already backed down. Let''s see if the ex-boyfriend can really afford it!" The crowd was looking at Lu Chen and Chen Hao with a lot of interest. Lu Chen lost again. But this time he was much calmer. He didn''t leave. He wanted to stay and see how Chen Hao embarrassed himself. 100,000... he would do anything to have that kind of money. "Sir, have you really thought it through? Do you really want to buy it?" The salesgirl was holding the POS machine and couldn''t help but to ask him once more. "Yes, please proceed..." Chen Hao said. Then he swiped his card. Everyone watched with bated breath. The POS machine beeped. The salesgirl was surprised at first but when the beeping sound rang out, she was disappointed immediately. "Well, sir! You don''t have enough money in your card!" Now the salesgirl knew that this boy was just pretending. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. He must have thought that I would not bring out the most expensive item. That was why he had the guts to tell me to get the most expensive one. He didn''t even have any money. Yes, how could I be so silly? Judging by his clothes, he doesn''t seem to be rich. Why did I waste so much time on him? "Hahaha!" Yang Xia guffawed. ¡°Chen Hao, dream on! I broke up with you because I hate that you''re poor but I still liked your personality. But you have proven to me that you''re an abominable hypocrite. It was a wise choice to break up with you!" Lu Chen was smiling bitterly and shaking his head. "This boy is really great!" "I thought he was really an upstart!" Many girls were snickering and looking at Chen Hao like he was a fool. Even Yang Hu''s face turned red. Chen Hao scratched his head. He then remembered that his bank card''s minimum spending limit was 200,000. And his Centurion Card had more than 1,000,000 credits inside but there was also a minimum spending limit of 300,000. He had forgotten that his bank card was messed around by his sister Chen Hao really wanted to impress Yang Xia today and show her that he was not a pushover. But now, it was really awkward.... Just then, a voice like silver bells rang out, ¡°Of course he can afford it. How can Young Master Chen not be able to afford the things in our shop?¡± Chapter 48 Introducing a New Friend Chapter 48 Introducing a New Friend At this moment, everyone in the store gasped. This mid-range gift shop''s concept was kind of simr to the Ginza shopping mall. This boutique was just one of the shops in the mall. A young gorgeous girl was walking toward them. Upon her arrival, a lot of the employees bowed with respect. "My god! She''s gorgeous!" Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Her beauty is divine. She''s as pretty as an angel!" "Is she the owner of this shop? Why are those people being so polite to her?" Most of the guys were infatuated by her ravishing beauty. When Chen Hao turned and saw her, he raised his brows. "Lin Yiyi?" Chen Hao was slightly stunned. Chen Hao could never forget her. He had beaten her bottom as he was nearly disfigured by this violent woman at the weing party, especially her beautiful legs. They were imprinted in Chen Hao''s mind. They were long and fair. She was simply stunning. Lin Yiyi walked toward him. She had already been here for a while. As soon as she arrived, she saw Chen Hao surrounded by the crowd, who were wagging their tongues. Lin Yi would never forget Chen Hao''s face in her whole life. After all, this good-for-nothing guy was the one who humiliated her for the first time in her life. And her dad had kept on reminding her that she had to tter Young Master Chen! "Hi Young Master Chen. We meet again!" Lin Yiyi bowed slightly. Everyone on the spot was stunned. "What the f*ck, did she call him Young Master Chen? What''s going on?" "This boastful b*stard is acquainted with the goddess?" Yang Xia blinked her eyes in surprise. She was jealous at the fact that this girl, who was a hundred times better than herself, was close to Chen Hao. Not to mention that this girl was a hundred times prettier. It didn''t matter if a girl was pretty or ugly. If Chen Hao was favored by an ugly girl, Yang Xia would still feel jealous. "What did you just call him? Are you sure you got the right person? How could he be a young master? He''s just a loser!" Yang Xia spoke to Lin Yiyi while pointing at Chen Hao. Lu Chen flew into a jealous rage. This girl is stunning as hell but why is she being so respectful to Chen Hao? If she could treat me the same way, it would be wonderful! "Yes, Miss Lin, nice to meet you again! I''m actually here to buy some clothes, but they cost less than 200,000 It doesn''t reach the minimum spending limit of my card!" Chen Hao shrugged helplessly. "What? Did he just say the minimum spending limit of his card was 200,000?" They would never have believed him if it wasn''t for the presence of this beauty who was respected by all the employees. Yang Xia widened her eyes. "Nonsense! Chen Hao, you said that you''ve won 200,000 in total. How is it possible that you have another 200,000? Liar!" "Who told you that I''ve only won 200,000?" Chen Hao forced a smile. Lin Yiyi had been smiling all this while. However, she felt bitter when she saw Chen Hao buying women clothing. Lin Yiyi''s standards were indeed high. She had even higher expectations of a person''s characteristics. However, one''s ws could be ignored if one was impressive to a certain extent. The others might not know, but that wasn''t the case for Lin Yiyi. Chen Hao was the heir to the prestigious family who owned half of the world''s wealth! Therefore, it was impossible to say that she didn''t feel anything after knowing Chen Hao''s status. "Young Master Chen, if you like these clothes so much, just take these clothes as my gift to you," Lin Yiyi took a soft breath and said nonchntly. 100,000 was just a small amount to Chen Hao. "Alright then. It''s not convenient for me to withdraw money today anyway. ''ll take these clothes first, and I''ll pay you back soon!'' More and more people had gathered around. Chen Hao epted her gesture without resistance. He didn''t want to be starred at by so many pairs of eyes. "Young Master Chen, let me take you downstairs..." Upon saying that, Lin Yiyi gently clung onto Chen Hao''s arm. Two of them went downstairs together while the crowd stared at them in astonishment. "T-this..." Yang Xia panicked. What did this woman call him just now? Young Master Chen? Chen Hao just said that he couldn''t spend if the amount was less than 200,000. That would mean that he still has money! I''m certain of it. Chen Hao definitely has more than 200,000! The two pieces of clothing he took just now have already cost more than 100,000! All of a sudden, Yang Xia felt like Chen Hao was a stranger. Lu Chen was in an awkward position and he did not want to stay here any longer. He tugged Yang Xia and wanted to leave. "Sir, these are the two pieces of clothing that you want. The total is 36,000 Do you want to pay by card, or cash?" The salesgirl was observant and she approached Lu Chen immediately. Looking at the current situation, it seemed like he didn''t have a choice but to buy them. To be frank, Lu Chen was willing to spend this much money today to impress Yang Xia, so that she would sleep with himter. But the atmosphere wasn''t right! Even though he would be spending 36,000, he would still be humiliated! At the same time, he couldn''t go back on his words in front of so many people. He gritted his teeth and paid 36,000 before he left with Yang Xia dejectedly. Downstairs at the gift shop. Yang Hui was aware of the situation and had left first. He was waiting at the school entrance for Chen Hao. Lin Yiyi was still clutching Chen Hao''s arm when they had reached the roadside. "Young Master Chen, if you don''t mind me asking, are you buying clothes for your girlfriend? I wonder who the lucky beauty is." Lin Yiyi was feeling a bit jealous. Lin Yiyi had observed Chen Haost time during the opening of Ming Huang Restaurant. She knew that Chen Hao was different from the other heirs of a rich family. He was mature, modest and truthful. Once he had a girlfriend, he wouldn''t change his heart easily like the other rich kids. She would be thedy of the Chen family once she got married to Chen Hao. "This is a gift for my friend, not my girlfriend!" Chen Hao smiled. Lin Yiyi had helped him out and saved him from embarrassment today. At the same time, Chen Hao curiously asked, "It looks like that store belongs to your family, am I right?" Lin Yiyi was delighted to hear that Chen Hao didn''t have a girlfriend yet. She said with a smile, "Yes, these gift stores are strategically ced near all universities in Jiangnan province. This store is one of many. I was free today. So I came here to shop!" Lin Yiyi didn''t tell him that even though she went shopping, she actually did so with another intention in mind. I wouldn''t havee here if you weren''t studying in Jin Ling College. Chen Hao thanked LinYiyi and wanted to leave. Too much attention was drawn when he stood beside a stunning beauty: "Hang on, Young Master Chen!" Lin Yiyi called out to Chen Hao." There is a Carnival Party happening next week. Bai Xiaofei and the others are attending the party. Are you free? If you''re free, how about we go have fun as well?" Lin Yiyi bit her lips lightly and invited Chen Hao to the party. She knew that he was probably not going to ept her invitation as Young Master Chen''s status was too prestigious. However, Chen Hao nodded his head and said, "Alright, I''m free next week. Let''s go and have a look together!" It wasn''t only because Lin Yiyi helped him out today. More importantly, Chen Hao really wanted to transform. I shouldn''t continue to be submissive like a loser. The only way to make a change is to meet more people! ¡°Alright, see you then!" Lin Yiyi waved goodbye at Chen Hao excitedly. Chen Hao went back to his dormitory with Yang Hui. Yang Hui had already gotten a girlfriend, while Chen Hao had no idea how to ask Su Tongxin out. After all, he barely had a chance to interact with Su Tongxin. Would she think that he was insincere if he suddenly asked her out? Chen Hao''s phone rang at this time. Chen Hao was a little surprised when he saw the phone number. It was a call from Su Tongxin. "Chen Hao, are you having ss now? If not, can youe to the north field to practice driving?" "I''m free now, "Chen Hao said with a smile. "Great! I''m at the north field now. I''ll wait for you here and I want to introduce a new friend to you!" Chapter 49 Su Tongxin Is in Trouble Chapter 49 Su Tongxin Is in Trouble Chen Hao hung up on the phone and did not return to the dormitory. Instead, he headed straight to the north field. Of course, Chen Hao was still holding onto the new clothes he bought for Su Tongxin in his arms. The packaging was very exquisite. Chen Hao was looking for an excuse to give the clothes to Su Tongxinter. If he was upfront and said he fancied the person and gave the person a gift which would have worked perfectly for girls like Yang Xia or Zheng Qiangian. However, that would not work for Su Tongxin. Instead, it might ultimately be self- defeating. Furthermore, Chen Hao was also curious as to what kind of friends Su Tongxin wanted to introduce to him. Yet, when Chen Hao arrived outside the site, the scene he saw stunned him. Su Tongxin was there. She was sitting on top of a stage outside the examination site with her back facing Chen Hao. The thing that stunned Chen Hao was the guy who was sitting right beside Su Tongxin. Both of Su Tongxin''s arms were wrapped around the guy''s arms intimately. Both of them were leaning on each other and joking around. Boom! Chen Hao felt like he was struck by light. The suffocating feeling struck him out of the blue. Both his heart and mind were shaken! Su Tongxin has a boyfriend? Chen Hao''s heart went cold. He had finally gathered up the courage to pursue a girl he liked, who was also kind hearted. On his way here, Chen Hao even visualized the possible reactions of Su Tongxin when she saw the gift, wondering if she would be surprised or would she realize his intention and gracefully turn him down. He also thought about the possible actions he could take if she really rejected him. At the end of the day, Chen Hao concluded that it was more than likely Su Tongxin would ept the gift. Chen Hao had never expected to encounter this. ¡°Hi! Chen Hao, over here!" While Chen Hao was zoning out, Su Tongxin waved at Chen Hao. "Chen Hao, why did you stay silent after you arrived? Were you daydreaming?" Chen Hao walked over and saw that Su Tongxin was still holding onto the guy''s hand. She smiled at Chen Hao. "N-nothing!" Chen Hao looked awkward. He looked at the guy next to Su Tongxin. He looked about the same age as Chen Hao. He was dressed up well and looked handsome. He was also rather fair. Chen Hao felt inferior just by standing next to the guy. He realized that his outfit was really in. It makes sense that Su Tongxin, such a beautiful girl, had people pursuing her. "Chen Hao, let me introduce you to my cousin brother, Su Qi. Su Qi, this is Chen Hao, whom I have been telling you about!" Su Tongxin held onto Su Qi''s hand and walked down from the stage. Chen Hao was stunned yet again. Oh damn! So that was Su Tongxin''s cousin? Chen Hao felt a sense of relief. He went through an emotional rollercoaster ride. "Oh! So you are Chen Hao? The one that my cousin has been telling me about? Brother, you are quite lucky to have won the lottery!" Su Qi casually smiled. Yet, he could not hide the look of contempt within his eyes. Any normal person would react this way too. He was nning to discuss certain matters with his cousin but she wanted to introduce a friend to him. Su Qi heard from Su Tongxin that Chen Hao was a decent person. He also heard about Chen Hao winning a lottery. In Su Qi''s mind, he did not mind getting to know someone who was rather rich as well. However, he did not expect Chen Hao to be dressed up like this. Damn! Don''t tell me this guy came out from the rural areas? N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. He does not look rich at all. Su Qi was extremely disappointed. "Hello, I am Chen Hao!" Chen Hao nodded and stretched out his arm, preparing to shake hands with Su Qi. "Alright, cousin. I have seen your friend and now I have to get back to school first. So we shall proceed with the present that we agreed on for Grandma''s birthday next month. I will make a move first!" Su Qi ignored Chen Hao and ced both his hands into his pockets. He gave a short reply to Su Tongxin and left. His main purpose today was to discuss the present for their Grandma''s birthday next month. "Su Qi, you cheeky brat!" Su Tongxin had always been close with her cousin ever since they were young. Seeing him treat Chen Hao So rudely made her slightly angry as well. "Chen Hao, I am sorry. My cousin acts like this all the time. I will reprimand him!" Su Tongxin apologized. Chen Hao awkwardly pulled back his outstretched hand and said, "It''s okay!" To be honest, although he was ignored by Su Qi, Chen Hao only felt a little furious about it. The feeling was even negligible. Why was that so? That was due to the fact that Chen Hao had mistaken Su Qi as Su Tongxin''s boyfriend. He had felt depressed and lost all hope. But it turned out to be a misunderstanding. This emotional rollercoaster had resulted in Chen Hao feeling a lot better now and he was not going to get angry because of such trivial matters. "Oh, Chen Hao!" Su Tongxin''s beautiful eyes turned and looked yfully at Chen Hao. She said,¡°I saw that you looked as if you were unwell just now. What happened?" Even though Su Tongxin was introducing Su Qi, she was still able to notice the changes in Chen Hao''s emotions. "I am fine. I just thought he was your boyfriend!" Chen Hao bitterly smiled. "What! You mistook my cousin as my boyfriend? Haha!" Su Tongxin burst intoughter. "That''s not possible. Actually, I have never been in a rtionship before. It could be that I have too high of an expectation for my boyfriend!" Su Tongxin sat down by the stage. This topic of conversation intrigued Chen Hao. "So what are the standards for your boyfriend?" Chen Hao probingly asked. "In order to be my boyfriend, there are a few requirements. Firstly, he must be charming. It does not matter if he is rich or poor but he must be elegant! Secondly, he has to look decent and not too ugly. Thirdly, he must be kind-hearted and loyal to his other half. As for the fourth point..." "There''s still more to it?" Chen Hao was having a headache. He could only fulfill half out of the three criteria she had listed. In terms of looks, Chen Hao was rather confident with himself. As for charm and elegance, to be honest, Chen Hao also felt that he was quite a loser. He had already turned into a rich second generation heir, yet he did not possess the confidence of other rich heirs. This was the ring shoring of Chen Hao! It looks like I cannot continue lying low anymore! Chen Hao thought. Chen Hao had nned to give the present to her, but after some thought, he decided to put off the idea. Su Tongxin sounded casual when she was listing her criteria. However, deep down in her heart, that truly was what she was looking for. Chen Hao knew that he had not fulfilled all of the criteria yet. Thus, it would be a challenging task to pursue her. Why not start off from being friends? What is the hurry? Therefore, for the next few days of driving practice, Chen Hao treated Su Tongxin as a friend. He no longer had the notion 0 making her his girlfriend. He treated her only as a friend. They built a strong rapport and Su Tongxin could talk to Chen Hao about anything. Chen Hao even suspected that Su Tongxin mentioned the criteria on purpose. Perhaps she wanted to hint at him that he should stop pursuing her and that it was better if they stayed friends! Was that considered turning him down gracefully? But today, something happened when the both of them attended the examination.... They had originally nned to return to school together after the exam. Yet, after Chen Hao was done with the exam, he could not seem to locate Su Tongxin. Chen Hao gave her a call but her cell phone was turned off! There were two chances for the examination. Even if Su Tongxin retook the exam a second time, she should have been out after such a long while. At this moment, Chen Hao just so happened to recognize a boy from the same group as Su Tongxin. The boy walked out with his head low and looked defeated. As such, Chen Hao went over and questioned him. "Oh! You are referring to the beautiful girl? She did not attend the examination. Just as the examination was about to start, she received a phone call, then she left in a hurry!" A beautiful girl like Su Tongxin was always going to be the centre of attention no matter where they went. Chen Hao was not surprised that this guy also took notice of Su Tongxin. Chen Hao wondered what could have happened to Su Tongxin. She did not say a word and left in a hurry. Her cell phone was also turned off. Could something have happened to her? Chen Hao thought deeply and ultimately decided to give Jiang Weiwei a call. "Oh, Chen Hao. Why are you so concerned about Tong Xin? Did you really think you could pursue her after striking a lottery? Let me tell you, that is not going to happen! Don''t even think about it! She is out of your league!" It was obvious that Jiang Weiwei held a grudge against him. She still could not let go of the fact that he humiliated her in Home cook Kitchen Restaurant. She bombarded Chen Hao as soon as the phone was picked up. "Do you know where Su Tongxin went? Tell me! I will repay you in the future. I will give you clothes from LV as a present!" Chen Hao calmly replied. He dared not give Su Tongxin the clothes that Lin Yiyi gave him, so now was a good opportunity to give it to Jiang Weiwei instead. The most important matter to Chen Hao was Su Tongxin''s sudden disappearance. He was really afraid that something had happened to her.... It was not to pursue her but as a friend, Chen Hao could not sit idly and not be concerned. "Are you serious? Can you afford LV? The clothes over there cost more than 10,000!¡± Jiang Weiwei was surprised. "Yes, yes! I will definitely give them to you in a while!" "Alright. Seeing that you finally know how to honor me, I will let you know. Sigh... I also just found out about it. Something has happened to Tongxin''s family. Her family business failed and it looks like they are about to be bankrupt. Her family needed her to go back!" Chapter 50 Nasty Stories about Chen Hao Chapter 50 Nasty Stories about Chen Hao "We are heading over to Tong Xin''s house to visit her. If you are willing to go, you cane along..." Jiang Weiwei hung up the phone after that. Chen Hao had just started revealing his wealth, so Jiang Weiwei had no idea how much Chen Hao won from the lottery. As such, she was not as bossy as she was in the past. However, that would not change her from looking down on Chen Hao, even if he struck infinite lotteries, or even if he won 2,000,000 from the lottery. He would still be an upstart. He could not bepared with actual descendants of wealthy families like Wang Yang. However, Chen Hao did not choose to head there together with Jiang Weiwei and the others, for Wang Yang said that his car had reached maximum upancy. Jiang Weiwei merely gave Chen Hao the address. Chen Hao bought some fruits and took a cab over. As a matter of fact, he had known Su Tongxin for almost a week and they were pretty close. She was simr to Ma Xiaonan as they were the rare female friends of Chen Hao. Furthermore, Su Tongxin had a special ce in Chen Hao''s heart. Thus, Chen Hao would naturally help out when her family was in trouble. The cab stopped outside of Yun Gui Community. Chen Hao knew that Su Tongxin''s family was rather well-to-do. Her parents ran apany with decent profits. Many family members were also involved in various businesses across all sectors. He arrived at her house. Many people were already inside her house. Other than the elderly in their household, Su Tongxin''s friends and ssmates were also there. "Chen Hao, you are here!" Su Tongxin''s eyes were red. She was sitting on the couch and talking to Jiang Weiwei. Su Tongxin''s parents looked tired while hosting her ssmates. After all, thepany was in shambles and was about to close down due to ack of cash flow. Thus, Su Tongxin was unhappy, especially more so for Su Tongxin''s parents because they finally understood the vicissitudes of life. If you were poor but lived in the city, nobody would care about you. On the other hand, if you were rich but you lived in the mountains, your rtives would travel from far away to visit you! Their usual lively household was deserted now. Other than Tong Xin''s ssmates, who else would "Yeah." Chen Hao did not know how to help so he just ced the fruits down. Then, he went over to greet her parents. "Why is this loser here?" Just then, a scornful voice could be heard. It came from a young handsome boy who was holding the hand of a beautiful woman. They walked in together. He smirked at Chen Hao and looked at him in disdain. That sentence was obviously directed at Chen Hao. Chen Hao turned around and saw that it was Su Tongxin''s cousin, Su Qi. Su Qi was far too arrogant. Su Qi''s family also ran apany, so they helped Su Tongxin''s family by providing them with arge sum of funding. Yet, it was to no avail. It even dragged their family down. Therefore, Su Qi was unhappy about it. Today, he saw that his cousin''s friends and ssmates were all descendants of wealthy families. And he couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief. If these people could cooperate and work together, not only would the financial crisis of Tongxin''s family be solved, the money his family borrowed could also be recouped. He was already feeling unhappy and his mood worsened when he saw Chen Hao, whom he had met the other day. In his eyes, Chen Hao was a loser that was constantly showing off after merely striking a lottery. This loser doesn''t even have much money, let alone connections, so why is he here? "Su Qi, this is Tongxin''s friend. How could you treat him like this?" Su Tongxin''s mother reprimanded. "Aunty, do you know who Chen Hao is? He is a very famous person in Jin Lin College. He used to be a very poor dude. Then, he was fortunate to strike a lottery and he started bragging about it. I have heard stories that he was dumped by his ex- girlfriend and he had to deliver condoms to her. This guy is a ridiculous person. Who knows what kind of weird motives he has by getting so close to Tongxin!" Su Qi said with utter contempt. Most of the ssmates of Su Tongxin look at Chen Hao as if he was a foolish person. "Damn! I had no idea losers like him exist! Did he think that winning a lottery was an amazing feat?" "Exactly! He is just an upstart with no knowledge at most. Look at his outfit. He looks like a bumpkin!" A few girls burst intoughter. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. "Su Qi shut up!" Su Tongxin threw the pillow on her couch toward Su Qi angrily. "Stop talking nonsense! So what if Chen Hao did strike the lottery? Are you jealous?" Su Tongxin could not stand seeing Su Qi ridicule Chen Hao. The most disgusting thing was that he announced to everyone that Chen Hao delivered condoms to his ex-girlfriend. All these were nderous allegations toward Chen Hao. Su Tongxin treated Chen Hao as a good friend. "What? Cousin, you think I am spouting nonsense?" Su Qi smiled. "If you don''t believe this, you can ask Wang Yang, the Vice President of the Student Council of Chen Hao''s faculty. Even Weiwei knows about this incident. He really delivered condoms to his ex- girlfriend just to earn 10 bucks!" Su Tongxin frowned. Su Tongxin''s parents and her ssmates looked at Chen Hao differently. "He looks rather honest, but who would have known that he could actually do such things for money!" "Damn! Such a disgusting person!" Many people muttered and discussed silently. Chen Hao took a deep breath and looked at Wang Yang who was sitting there quietly. He knew that Wang Yang was the one who shared these stories to Su Qi. If there was a person Wang Yang hated the most in college, it had to be Chen Hao. Su Tongxin gave an inquiring look at Chen Hao. Chen Hao nodded. "Yes, these things were done by me in the past!" Chen Hao was broke back then. He earned his living expenses through running errands for people. Was that wrong? Chen Hao did not find these to be embarrassing. That night, he was tricked by Xu Nan and did end up delivering condoms to Yang Xia. That was the truth. He did not n on hiding it. "Chen Hao, how could you..." Su Tongxin stared unbelievably at Chen Hao. Truth be told, Su Tongxin had never experienced being poor before. She subconsciously thought that no matter how poor a person was, dignity would still be important. She had never expected Chen Hao to partake in such matters... Furthermore, Su Tongxin had been defending Chen Hao before this. Now that Chen Hao had admitted it himself, Su Tongxin was really shocked. At the same time, the expression on Su Tongxin''s parents changed. In addition, they remembered that Su Qi said that this guy wanted to court their daughter. What a mess that would be! Su Tongxin''s mother looked at Chen Hao with annoyance on her face. Knock knock! Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and a young guy walked in. Chen Hao had looked indifferent all this while. Upon seeing who it was, he scoffed. "Young Master Zhuang!" "Oh! Zhuang Qiang is here!" Su Qi was surprised. Su Tongxin''s parents'' eyes also brightened up upon seeing Zhuang Qiang. Their excitement was ¡°Oh? Is it him? Is he... Erm, isn''t he the guy that drugged his stepmother?" "Yes. This guy is rather dirty-minded. However, he is very rich. He is involved in the operations of Jin Ling Commercial Street! His family has the agency rights to Ming Huang Restaurant!" "Haha, so what anyway? Who doesn''t have filthy incidents in their life?! I heard that Young Master Zhuang has turned over a new leaf and repented on his past mistakes!" Most of Su Tongxin''s female ssmates looked at Zhuang Qiang. It was obvious that his glorious background overshadowed the filthy things he did. Most of the beautiful girls thought highly of him. Zhuang Qiang walked in with a bunch of things. He was no longer dispirited, unlike a few days ago. However, when he walked past certain someone, he quickly stopped and turned back around. He was shocked to see the person here. "Chen Hao, why are you here?" Zhuang Qiang''s face turned pale. Chapter 51 Lu Chen Was Captured by the Police Chapter 51 Lu Chen Was Captured by the Police "Zhuang Qiang, do you guys know each other? Oh my, look at the things you''ve brought. Come in and have a seat, have a seat!" Wang Huimin was Su Tongxin''s mother. She was the Vice Chairman of thepany. And she was also an expert in socializing. She was well aware of Zhuang Qiang''s family''s power. Although a few days ago, rumors were spreading about how corrupted Zhuang Qiang''s character was and how he did those despicable things, who had never made a mistake when they were young? What was more, Zhuang Qiang''s family even upied some territory on Jin Ling Commercial Street. Their powers were expanding rapidly. If herpany could obtain Zhuang family''s financial help, then wouldn''t that solve thepany''s crisis? When he heard Wang Huimin''s words, Zhuang Qiang nced coldly at Chen Hao and said, "Yes, of course I know this guy. He is a famous person in Tongxin''s College." When he recalled Chen Hao''s presence in some of the embarrassing situations he was in, Zhuang Qiang hated him for no reason at all. After making that statement coldly, he sat on the couch. Naturally, Wang Yang had heard of Zhuang Qiang before. He smiled and nodded his head. On the other hand, Jiang Weiwei smiled courteously at Zhuang Qiang, hoping that she could catch his attention. After all, no matter how despicable he was, he was still considered one of the famous rich second generation heirs of Jin Ling. However, Zhuang Qiang''s entire attention was focused on Su Tongxin. After that incidentst time, Zhuang Qiang hadpletely severed his connection with Zhao Yifan. However, his father''s connection in the business world was very wide. It so happened that Su Tongxin''s father''spany and his father''spany had some business dealings in the past. He had tried in the past to ask Su Tongxin out for a meal to advance their rtionship, however, she immediately rejected him. Su Tongxin was a cold beauty in his eye. She had always ignored him. However, everything was different now. The moment he heard that the Su family was in trouble, Zhuang Qiang started scheming. Even if he wasn''t able to help them, he had to pretend to be the good person here. "Uncle and Aunty Su, my father heard about yourpany''s situation and asked me to enquire about it. I will call up my father to run this through him, and let''s see whether he would be able to help out. Besides, all of Tongxin''s friends here today are not ordinary people. If we can put our brains together to figure something out, then we might be able to ovee this crisis!" Zhuang Qiang said with a smile. "Yes, see how eloquent Zhuang Qiang''s speech was. I beg everyone here, if you have any connections, could you help us out with our situation?!" Wang Huimin was beginning to like Zhuang Qiang more and more. Shepletely overlooked his past misdeeds. At this moment, she was thinking how great it would be if she had Zhuang Qiang as her son-inw. When they heard this, Wang Yang and the rest of them naturally nodded their heads. "Young Master Zhuang is right. Although we cannot measure up to him, we will try our best. After all, Tongxin''s family''spany has the potential, it''s just that they have some problems with their cash flow." "You are right. My mother''s best friend is the Vice President of a bank, so maybe she could loan them some capital!" At that moment, those with connections helped them out with theworking part while those with money helped them out with the financial part. Wang Huimin noted all these down and was quite happy in her heart. She knew that Tongxin''s friends did note from a simple background, and all of them were quite capable. The only thing was... When Wang Huimin looked at Chen Hao, she saw that he was swiping away at his mobile phone, as if pretending to look for something. Wang Huimin was disgusted. Since when did Tongxin associate herself with this kind of person? In addition to that, this guy was interested in her daughter. This was scarier than a horror movie! "Chen Hao, do you have lessons in college now? I am grateful for your good intentions and I wouldn''t want to dy your lessons. Why don''t you go back to your ss..." Wang Huimin noticed that Young Master Zhuang was hostile toward Chen Hao. Hence, she coldly ordered her guest to leave. This made Chen Hao, who had just found Li Zhenguo''s number, surprised. However, thinking about it, he finally understood. They thought that his presence was redundant here and it was obvious that they were on Zhuang Qiang''s side. Chen Hao felt some bitterness in his heart. He had done some bad things in the past, but Zhuang Qiang was even worse! However, because Zhuang Qiang was a famous second generation heir and his family was very rich, all the despicable things he had done in the past were ignored by other people. However, if he was in the same position, they would have felt disgusted. Why? It was because in their eyes, Zhuang Qiang had the money and potential while he had none of those. "I''ll be damned. He is swiping away on his mobile phone. Those who don''t know him would think that he is looking up some of his connections!" Su Qi, who was standing at the sides, smiled coldly. ¡°I know right? Don''t tell me that he is going to use the money he won from the lottery. I don''t think it would be enough anyway!" "What kind of person is this? This is the first time I have met this kind of person!" Listening to the ridiculesing one after another, Chen Hao really wanted to blurt out his identity there and then, and tell them everything. However, he quickly calmed down. Because firstly, if his identity were toe to lightpletely, naturally it would no longer be possible for him to go to school peacefully anymore. He would have to leave. At least his father would want him to. His father would not befortable with him going to school alone anymore. His life would bepletely disrupted. Chen Hao did not want that kind of life. He just wanted to improve himself quietly, as long as he was not short on cash. Chen Hao sighed and said, "Yes, I think I still have some sses in college. In that case, I shall get going first then!" Chen Hao stood up and walked out. "Chen Hao!" Su Tongxin chased after him. She felt ufortable, especially when she recalled how she had looked down upon him when she heard of his past. She felt very regretful. Why didn''t she think from Chen Hao''s perspective? If it wasn''t because of his poverty, who would want to live like that? Besides, how had Chen Hao treated her in the past few months? Even now, when he heard that she was in trouble, he even brought her some gifts and visited her. Su Tongxin felt that she had wronged him. "Chen Hao, I did not help you out back there when they were ridiculing you. Are you angry with me?" Su Tongxin bit her lips. ¡°I am not angry, but I want to know whether you think of me like they do. Do you think I am a person who has no bottom line when ites to money?" Chen Hao smiled and looked at Su Tongxin. "I did just now, but now I don''t anymore. Chen Hao, we are still best friends!" Su Tongxin walked in front of him. "Ok!" Chen Hao did not say anything more. He gave her a nod and left. Outside the neighborhood, Chen Hao gave a long sigh. To be honest, he was a little bit sad just now that Su Tongxin would think of him this way. However, Chen Hao''s feelings wereplicated and he could not really exin it now. He pulled out his phone and gave Li Zhenguo a call. "Young Master Chen, is there anything I can do for you?" "Zhenguo, I want you to help me out with something. There is apany called Fei Yang Technology Company Ltd. I think thatpany is in some sort of financial trouble, and I wonder can I invest in it?" "Invest?" Li Zhenguo was initial stunned, then he felt happy. "Of course you can invest. President Chen would certainly like you to do this. No problem, there is no problem at al! I will settle it for you this instant!" "Ok, but don''t use my name. Just put it under the Jin Ling Commercial Group then, Zhenguo," said Chen Hao. "Ok, I will settle this for you within one hour!" Li Zhenguo said with joy. Young Master Chen had already made another big progress. After he hung up his phone, Chen Hao prepared to go back to college. He was going to sit for his driver''s license test soon, so he had better practice. However, the moment he reached his college, Yang Hui gave him a call. "Hahaha, Chen Hao, I have some good news, some very good news!" Yang Huiughed as he said. ¡°Huh? What''s up?" Chen Hao was shocked by his dorm leader''s flustered attitude. "It''s Yang Xia. Yang Xia was embroiled in a fight with Lu Chen and the police are here now. They came to arrest him, and it''s very lively down there! All of us n to go down to the girl''s dorm to take a look!" Yang Xia is embroiled in a fight with Lu Chen? N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. And the police are here? Chen Hao''s brain had turned into a mush. Even the police had to intervene? How bad was the fight? I am going to take a look! Chen Hao could not wrap his head around the situation. He hung up and proceeded to the girls'' dormitory! Chapter 52 Jin Lings Young Master Chen Took Action Chapter 52 Jin Ling''s Young Master Chen Took Action "Chen Hao, over here!" When Chen Hao reached the girl''s dormitory, there was indeed a huge crowd gathering there. The crowd was a mixture of guys and girls. The police were there. Even their tutor Meng Cairu and Lu Chen''s tutor were there as well. It was indeed very lively. Yang Hui waved at Chen Hao from the crowd. Chen Hao walked over. Only then he saw Yang Xia and Lu Chen''s figures. It seemed like the both of them were entangled in a fight. There was a p mark on Yang Xia''s cheek and her hair was in a mess. She was crying while scolding Lu Chen. At this moment, Lu Chen was held down by the police and he was handcuffed. He was so scared that his face looked pale. One of the police was trying to get statements from both tutors to help them understand the situation better. "What... happened here?" Chen Hao asked in shock. "What do you mean what happened here? Damn it, Chen Hao, weren''t you wondering how Lu Chen became so rich since that day? Guess what, Lu Chen was so bald that he borrowed 100,000 from an online loanpany for 7 days. I guessed he was scammed by the people behind the scenes, because within 7 days, he had umted a 500,000 debt. I think Lu Chen secretly mortgaged off the shares of his father''spany to other people!" "Anyway, it''s a huge mess now. The police were called in by his father!" "Lu Chen can''t run now. He wanted Yang Xia to pay him back-I think he had spent about 100,000 on Yang Xia-but she didn''t want to pay him back, so he hit her!" "F*ck, these unlicensed online loanpanies are ruthless. In the past, I saw in the news that somebody had borrowed 10,000. However after a week, it had ballooned up to 100,000. That''s ten times the original amount! I thought it was fake, but now I believe it. It''s just too frightening!" After listening to this, Chen Hao looked at the crying Yang Xia. Then, he looked at Lu Chen who was led to the police car. He was still cursing her. "Let me tell you this, you b*tch, I spent 100,000 on you and I haven''t even bedded you yet. You better f*cking watch out! If you do not pay back my money, I will ask my father to hire somebody to kill you!" "Get in!" Before Lu Chen had time to finish his sentence, he had been stuffed into the car by the policeman. "Why the f*ck would you want me to return your money, have I been your girlfriend for nothing?!" Yang Xia stomped her legs angrily. "You''re a liar, and you deserve it!" Although Yang Xia was cursing at him, in her heart, she was really afraid. Lu Chen''s family wasn''t someone to be trifled with. At the very least, they were much more powerful than her family. Seeing Lu Chen being escorted away by the police, Yang Xia''s heart was beating very fast. Suddenly, she turned her gaze and saw Chen Hao within the crowd. At this moment, Yang Xia''s eyes turned red. She immediately rushed to Chen Hao''s side and lifted her hands. She gave Chen Hao two ps on his face. It was very loud! "You b*stard, how could you stand here and watch somebody hit me? You b*stard, you should have dragged him away and hit him!" Yang Xia was like a madwoman. She tore Chen Hao''s clothes while shouting and shrieking. In her eyes, Chen Hao was the type of person who would do anything for her. Not now, but in the past, Chen Hao would carry her on his back to the infirmary even if she only had a slight flu. When she said she was hungry, even in the middle of the night, Chen Hao would run out the campus to buy something for her and send it all the way to her dorm. When she wanted to buy a mobile phone, even if Chen Hao were to work until he was half-dead, he would buy it for her. Hence, when she was being hit, subconsciously, she thought that Chen Hao would definitely stand up for her. In the end, he only stood there and watched like a dumbo. Yang Xia was so angry that she nearly went crazy. "Yang Xia, I am not your boyfriend anymore!" After enduring two ps on his face, Chen Hao wanted to return the favor. But when he saw the p marks left behind by Lu Chen on her face, Chen Hao could not bear to p her. He could only push her away! Chen Hao had really loved her back then. Ok fine, you are not my boyfriend anymore, but don''t you want to get back together?!" N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Yang Xia cried out. She had calmed down a little. However, Chen Hao felt like a stranger to her. Could it be that this poor loser doesn''t love me anymore? How could this be? Even if I were to be in bad shape, Chen Hao should still kneel down and beg me. "No, I don''t want to!" Chen Hao shook his head and turned on his heels and left. Actually, Chen Hao still felt hurt. "You b*stard, if you do not get back together with me, how am I supposed to pay back the money? If it weren''t for yourpetition with Lu Chen to see who was richer, then I wouldn''t be in this situation at all!" Yang Xia was hysterical! Chen Hao did not love her anymore. However, now she had a 100,000 debt to pay and she didn''t want to offend Lu Chen''s family. What should I do? What should I do now? 100,000! Even if she sold herself, she would not be able to earn that much money! Yang Xia crouched down on the floor and started crying bitterly. Chen Hao, on the other hand... His feelings were in turmoil as he walked back to his dorm. He wanted to catch a quick shut-eye, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn''t fall asleep. Seeing the p mark on Yang Xia''s face, Chen Hao''s heart really hurt. If Yang Xia had remained by his side, then she would have gotten whatever she wanted now. If she was bullied, Chen Hao would definitely stand up for her without a second thought. But ironically, she betrayed him. She lied to him, saying that she needed some time alone, but within those three days she had gotten together with Lu Chen. Although Chen Hao rarely brought up this incident, he would never forget it! Hey on the bed thinking about the times that Yang Xia was good to him, and also the times where Yang Xia ridiculed him. Half an hour past, just like that. At this moment, Chen Hao''s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Su A phone call came from Tongxin. "Chen Hao, where are you now? Come to my house quickly, we have prepared a meal for all of you!" Su Tongxin sounded excited. ¡°I am back in my dorm, what''s up?" Chen Hao could roughly guess what had happened, but he pretended not to know and asked her that question. "Hehe, our family''s financial crisis is over. Besides, did you know that my family''spany had obtained a 1 billion investment from Jin Ling Commercial Group? Come over here quickly and let us have a meal together!" Su Tongxin was very happy. Chen Hao was happy too, but he was surprised as well. Zhenguo was a very efficient person. What Chen Hao did not expect was that he would invest 1 billion. Such a huge amount of money! Wow¡­ If this was in the past, he would have gone to her house to join in the lively atmosphere if Su Tongxin wanted him to go. But now, Chen Hao''s feelings were in turmoil after Yang Xia''s incident. "It''s okay. You guys go ahead and eat. I am not going anymore. I am a bit tired now and I want to take a nap!" "Ah! What''s wrong with you Chen Hao? Why won''t youe? Are you afraid that they would mock you? Don''t worry, I am here, so they won''t do that!" "It''s not that, I am just really tired!" "It''s alright then, wait for me at the college tonight. I will treat you to a meal, just the two of us. Come to think of it, I have always wanted to treat you to a meal, but haven''t gotten around to do so!" "Ok!" After he hung up the phone, Chen Hao wondered whether he should find an opportunity tonight to tell Su Tongxin that he was the one who helped her. Should he tell her his real identity as well? But he was at a loss on how to start the conversation. Would it be too sudden?! Ugh, Chen Hao felt his head was nearly exploding! At the same time, in Su Tongxin''s house... "What? Your poor friend is noting? What kind of show is he putting on now?" When Wang Huimin saw Su Tongxin looking glum after she put down the phone, she couldn''t help but say. She really did not understand why her daughter was so concerned about that kid. "It would be better if he did note. My dear cousin, it''s better if you do not pay attention to this guy anymore. You should know by now that you and him belong to different worlds. Currently, with Jin Ling Commercial Group''s investment, our Su family''s business would definitely expand rapidly. You should put a stop to his dreams of being with you as soon as possible!" "That''s right! Why would you still keep in touch with that kind of person?" The youngsters continued chattering away. ¡°By the way, Zhuang Qiang, was it because of your father''s connections that he was able to get Jin Ling Commercial Group to invest in us? You must know that this is Jin Ling''s top group, so why would they suddenly invest in us?" At this moment, Wang Huimin suddenly directed the topic of conversation to Jin Ling Commercial Group. This was the biggest question she had in her heart. Zhuang Qiang only shook his head. "I don''t think it was my father. There are only two persons who could get the Jin Ling Commercial Group to invest. Even General Manager Li does not have a say in it! They are the two Presidents of the group. The elder one is President Chen, who is currently not in the country. Hence, ording to my guess, the one who initiated the investment this time around would be that extremely mysterious Young Master Chen!" "Young Master Chen? Why haven''t I heard of him before?" As soon as the remark came out, everyone became silent. Li Zhenguo was one of the richest guys in Jin Ling. Now, there were two powerful patrons above him, and one of them happened to be Young Master Chen. Didn''t that mean Jin Ling Commercial Street was also under his name? How rich could he f*cking be? Zhuang Qiang wore a very respectful look as he said, "Young Master Chen is a very mysterious person, and his identity and his background are shrouded in mystery. In addition to that, the wealth that his family owns is way beyond our imagination... Since Young Master Chen just came to Jin Ling, of course he would like to show off his abilities. Hence, Madam Wang, I suspect that yourpany had caught his attention!" "I think that''s it!" Wang Huimin was nodding her head in delight. The girls, including Jiang Weiwei, could not hold back their curiosity anymore. "Young Master Zhuang, tell us quickly how mysterious is that Young Master Chen? Does the entire Jin Ling Commercial Street belong to him? Oh my God!" Zhuang Qiang snorted, "What? Jin Ling Commercial Street? Haha. Let me tell you something I heard from my dad. That Jin Ling Commercial Street-that cash printing machine of Jin Ling -is nothing in the eyes of Young Master Chen''s family!" "What?!" Chapter 53 Her Sisters Phone Call Chapter 53 Her Sister''s Phone Call The whole stretch ofmercial street was worth close to nothing in Young Master Chen''s eyes. How powerful was the Chen Family? Jiang Weiwei and the rest of the girls were infatuated. They fantasized about being Young Master Chen''s girlfriend. ¡°But Young Master Zhuang, are you exaggerating about how powerful their family is?" ¡°If they were a wealthy family, we should be able to find them on the inte!" A few of the girls did not believe it. Zhuang Qiang smiled. "Those families that you typically see around are not the most powerful. Think about it, all the famous corporations on the inte as well asrge corporations across all sectors have certain financial groups backing them. These families I am referring to are the hidden families that own the financial groups and back therge corporations. So how powerful do you think these families are?" "Oh em... that makes sense!" Only then did the group of girls believe what he said. Ring Ring- At this moment, a phone rang. Wang Huimin took a look at the number and was shocked. "It is a phone call from the Business Administration government office!" Wang Huimin was worried and uneasy. Theirpany almost went bankrupt due tock of funds. Yet, Jin Ling Commercial Group had just announced that they were going to finance and invest in theirpany. Would this call from the Business Administration office turn out to be an inspection of the assets of their They knew that the money they owed to the bank was non-negotiable. If the cash flow problem was not resolved and they could not repay the bank in time, the bank would inform the Business Administration office right away. Everyone was clear about this principle. As such, everyone kept quiet and silently waited. "Thank you Director Huang. Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for your encouragement and support! Alright, goodbye!" Wang Huimin spoke into the phone in a slightly excited and agitated voice. Everyone was confused. "Was that Director Huang?" Su Tongxin''s father was astonished. Theirpany was a small medium enterprise, andpanies within such tiers were extremely afraid of the Business Administration office. From the tone of Wang Huimin, he knew that it was good news and not bad news. "Yes!" Wang Huimin excitedly conveyed the blessings given by Director Huang. "Looks like Young Master Chen took action. Otherwise things wouldn''t turn out this way!" "Young Master Chen is so capable!" Su Qi and the rest were in awe. This incident piqued the curiosity of many people. So who was this mysterious Young Master Chen? On the other hand, nobody bothered Chen Hao for the next few days. He also finished spending the remaining 1 million in the shopping card- that had a minimum monthly spending limit of 20 million -his sister gave him. He bought himself some branded clothing as well as other essories such as watches. During that time, Yang Xia had called once and asked to borrow some money, but Chen Hao turned her down. It was not that Chen Hao was mean but he wanted to give Yang Xia a lesson. Chasing after money alone was pointless. Sometimes it looked as if it was within your grasp but in reality the opportunity had already slipped away. He really did not want Yang Xia to live on with her life that way. Eventually, she would lose herself. There was also no news from Yang Xia after she was rejected by Chen Hao. Chen Hao was focused on preparing for his driving examination. "Hey brother, what are you up to?" It was a Saturday and Chen Hao was lying on his bed reading a book. Yang Hui and the rest were out having fun. Just as he was bored, a call came from his sister, Chen Xiao. "I am reading a book! Why?" Chen Hao found it difficult to deal with his arrogant and bossy sister. He recalled that when he was young and when the family was poor, he would get beaten up by her just because he wanted to buy an ice cream. She would scold him for being immature. Now it was theplete opposite! After their test of being brought up in a poor way had ended, he would instead be reprimanded for not spending all his money! Chen Hao thought about this and found that life was like a rollercoaster ride. To him, everything still felt like a dream. "Oh yes. I checked your shopping card and found that you finished spending your money. Haha, not bad! I heard from Zhenguo that you are making great improvements. Now you know how to utilize the resources from our family and invest in a smallpany!" "I checked it out and you helped thepany out because you are interested in the girl right? Are you getting me a sister-inw? Hehe!" Chen Xiaoughed. Chen Hao had been in contact with Su Tongxin these past few days. Their rtionship had been rather ambiguous and Su Tongxin would talk about almost anything with Chen Hao. Chen Hao was also willing to chat with her. Yet, the more they chatted, the more Chen Hao did not want to take their rtionship a step further and court Su Tongxin. He did not expect the news to spread to her sister so soon. "Nope!" Chen Hao bitterly smiled. "Haha, okay I shall not tease you. When I saw that you''ve started to get yourself involved in investing, it made me think of something important. I am nning to invest and build a few more colleges and shoppingplexes in Jin Ling City. Now that I think about it, why not let you try it out? I am delegating these matters to you, so do help me get it done!" Chen Xiao casually said. "Huh? But sister, I don''t know how to invest!" "That''s the whole point! I am letting you learn because you know nothing about it! Don''t worry. Li Zhenguo will arrange personnel that are experts in investment to help you out. They are all very capable and you can utilize this opportunity to learn how to manage your assets. This would prevent you from failing the most important test in the future. If you failed, even Father would not be able to help..." "Most important test? What do you mean?" Chen Hao finally realized that the things his sister said were rather weird. From the day his sister transferred him money and only allowed him to spend a minimum of 200,000 to ultimately spending 20 million, it looked as if there were intentions behind it. It did not look like his sister was just aimlessly throwing money around. By the looks of it now, he was right! "Nothing much, there are some things you shouldn''t know and you shouldn''t be asking. Just do as I say. During this uing period of time, focus on investment. You can invest in any business sector you want as long as you think it is profitable. It can be financial, education or entertainment businesses. As for the name, you can use Jin Ling Commercial Group and the money will be funded through the Group as well!" Chen Xiao further reminded Chen Hao to step on it before hanging up. Chen Hao helplessly scratched his head. He really had no knowledge in these things. At this moment, his phone rang again. He took a look and saw that it was Li Zhenguo who called at such a suitable timing. "Young Master Chen, are you busy? If you are free, could youe over to the vi? Director Huang from the Business Administration office and Director Li from the Education Ministry as well as a few other important people are here. They would like to meet with you!" "I am not busy. I will head over now!" He rejected Li Zhenguo''s offer of sending a car over to pick him up. Instead, he just called for a cab and headed over. He wanted to get to know more people and interact with important people in order to upgrade himself. As he was in the cab, Chen Hao wished that he could receive his driving license immediately. He was looking forward to driving once he received his license. Very soon, he arrived at the Hot Spring Vi. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Chen Hao was familiar with the ce and he walked straight into the reception lobby. ¡°Excuse me sir, could you hold on a moment please? Do you have an appointment?" Chen Hao did not expect to be stopped by a receptionist. The receptionist took a look at him and he did not look like he could afford to spend in the vi. The voice of the receptionist sent a tremble down Chen Hao''s spine. He spun around and took a look at her. Their gaze met with each other. The jaw of the receptionist also dropped to the floor. "Chen Hao?" "Yang Xia?" "Why are you here!" There was a moment of silence. Chapter 54 I am Really an Heir of a Wealthy Family Chapter 54 I am Really an Heir of a Wealthy Family Chen Hao was surprised to see Yang Xia as a receptionist in the vi. No wonder she had disappeared off the grid for the past few days. It turns out that she had been here. Chen Hao was actually happy for Yang Xia. Yang Xia was still hostile toward Chen Hao after the incident. However, at the very least, she had found a job and did not give up on herself. She was working hard to earn money. Chen Hao was d that things turned out this way aspared to other potential oues. "Chen Hao, why are you here? Do you think you can visit such ces? Get out!" Yang Xia snapped. "Yang Xia, do you know this person?" There were three receptionists standing together with Yang Xia. They looked about the same age as Chen Hao and they walked over together. Their situation was simr to Yang Xia whereby they were in their third year of college and required an internship experience. They obviously wanted to try and make a fortune at the vi. They heard that they would have opportunities to meet a lot of big shots in the vi. As such, when they saw Chen Hao, they were all confused. Chen Hao did not dress like the usual rich second generation heirs. At first nce, they suspected Chen Hao was here to have a look around and widen his knowledge. However, the vi had a rule whereby outsiders could not enter no matter what! "Of course I know this person. He is the ex- boyfriend I was talking about!" Yang Xia red and stared grudgingly at Chen Hao. "What? Yang Xia, is he the douchebag that dumped you after striking a lottery? And the douchebag that was bragging and showing off constantly?" "Damn! He looks so ugly and yet he is acting as though he''s on top of the world after striking a lottery! There are so many more capable and richer second generation heirs than him. For example, Young Master Kang. He is so wealthy but I have never seen him gloat. What a bumpkin!" "How could this person bepared to Young Master Kang? Yang Xia, it is fortunate that you managed to see the true color of this douchebag early on and did not lose your virginity to him. Otherwise you would have regretted..." The few beautiful girls freely sneered at Chen Hao. Despite not having a noble status, they had managed to connect with a few big shots due to working in this vi for a period of time. As such, they had high standards and felt they were superior. In their eyes, Chen Hao was a loser and they had no scruples about looking down on him. Chen Hao sighed helplessly. He was just about to ask about the absence of Zheng Yue, the previous receptionist. Could she have left? However, he could not get a word in as he was bombarded by the girls. Yang Xia was so quick to put the me on me. Isn''t she the one who cheated on me first? However, at this point of time, Chen Hao couldn''t be bothered to argue with Yang Xia over this matter. No matter what she said, they had already broken up anyway. Even though Chen Hao''s feelings toward Yang Xia were stillplicated, he had no intention of getting back together with her. Therefore, whatever she said did not matter! "Chen Hao, let me tell you. Don''t think that you are terrific just because you won the lottery. I made a mistake, a grave mistake. In my first year of college, I was just a naive girl. Thus, you unctuously treated me well and I was touched, so I agreed to be your girlfriend. After that, I thought that Lu Chen was better than you, so I got together with him. I thought he could make me happy, but I was wrong as well." "I was living under a well and I was extremely short-sighted. Now that I am at the Hot Spring Vi, it was like I''ve stepped into a whole new world. It does not matter to me even if you won a million from the lottery. Even if the amount you won was five million or ten million, I still wouldn''t care. In my eyes, you are merely a loser that got lucky!" "Therefore, stop thinking that you are amazing. In my eyes, you are just an underdog!" Yang Xia was very agitated. A few days ago, she went to Chen Hao for help because she owed Lu Chen 100,000. Her condition was that she would get back together with Chen Hao and she was willing to give up her body to him. However, she was turned down by him. In addition to that, that loser, who was dumped by her, suddenly became rich. All of these made Yang Xia extremely indignant and furious. Now that she had the opportunity, she vented out all of her pent up emotions. Chen Hao, you are nothing to me! There is nothing special about you! "Loser, get out of here! If you don''t leave, I will call the security guards to beat you up!" The few girls scorned, "Do you think you belong in this ce? Ah! Yang Xia, take a look! Young Master Kang is here!" They were in the middle of taunting Chen Hao when they excitedly pointed at the entrance all of a sudden. There was a luxury car parked outside the entrance. A young and handsome guy wearing a blue suit got out of the car. He walked in valiantly with one hand in his pocket. "Young Master Kang!" A few of the receptionists hopped around and waved. Yang Xia, on the other hand, restrained herself and acted like a prude. "Xia, I see that you are all busy..." Young Master Kang walked over, smiling. "Oh no, Young Master Du Kang, we are not busy. We were just stopping a loser from sneaking in and preventing him from disturbing the meeting that your father is in!" Yang Xia said while moving over to stand beside Du Kang. Du Kang put his arm around Yang Xia''s waist. He also stared at Chen Hao. "Where did youe from! Do you think you cane to these high end ces? Get out of here!" Du Kang sternly scolded. Chen Hao was stunned. He was not frightened by Du Kang. Rather, he was shocked by Yang Xia''s actions. It looked like Chen Hao had thought wrongly. He thought that Yang Xia would be less materialistic after the incident. He did not expect her materialistic mindset to be further intensified. It turned out that the reason she was at the vi was to meet rich guys in hopes of marrying into a wealthy family. To be honest, Chen Hao had no intention of revealing his identity even when ridiculed by Yang Xia and the rest. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. That way, Yang Xia would still have her dignity. However, things had taken a turn now and Chen Hao decided it was time to stop keeping a low profile. "Yang Xia, there is a secret that I have kept from you for a long time. Today, I have decided toy all my cards on the table!" Chen Hao calmly smiled. "Haha,y out the cards on the table? Chen Hao, what are you trying to tell me? Are you going to tell me that you are a rich second generation heir? That you''re a covert descendant of a wealthy family? Chen Hao, if that is really the case, then I am going to regret my actions!" Yang Xia rubbed her body against Young Master Kang while mocking Chen Hao. "That''s right, I am actually a rich second generation heir. I only found out about these three days after you dumped me. Turns out that I am from a wealthy family and I am rather rich. Haha....." "Haha....." Yang Xia burst intoughter. "Chen Hao, I am lost for words. I know you have a lot of pride and you are most afraid of people looking down on you. However, I did not expect you to be such a hypocritical person. You are a rich heir? If so, I am also an heiress from a wealthy family!" "This douchebag is really shameless. He looks like this and he still has the guts to say he is a rich heir. Isn''t he just someone that won a little bit of money from a lottery?" "You all have no idea! It''s possible that this douchebag has eyes on our beautiful Yang Xia. Furthermore, Young Master Kang has taken a liking toward her so he got envious. Thus, in order to make Yang Xia change her mind, he had to say that he was also a rich heir. Then, he can dump Yang Xia again as revenge! I have seen enough of such tricks from douchebags like him!" "I am really a rich second generation heir. Yang Xia, I no longer want to lie to you. Not only am I rather rich, more than 70% of the entiremercial street is registered under my name." Chen Hao gave a bitter smile. I am just stating the truth, but why don''t they believe me? Chapter 55 Restless Youth Chapter 55 Restless Youth "Are you sick? The entire Jin Ling Commercial Street belongs to you? It would be more believable if you told us you could fly." Several girls looked at Chen Hao like he was a moron. On the other hand, Du Kang was so amused by Chen Hao''s words that he was rocking back and forth whileughing. He held his belly as heughed and agreed that those words were very suitable for Chen Hao. Did he know how big Jin Ling Commercial Street was? How could he say that it belonged to him? Chen Hao smiled bitterly. His phone happened to ring at this moment. It was a call from Li Zhenguo. "Young Master Chen, have you arrived yet?" "I am here, Zhenguo. I am currently at the lobby of the vi!" said Chen Hao casually. "Ah! That''s good, we will be there to receive you shortly! Director Huang and Director Song from the Education Bureau are eager to meet you when they heard that you were going to invest in some charitable projects and a lot ofmercial projects!" "Emm..... Ok then!" Chen Hao did not expect the directors to arrive so soon. Chen Hao hung up the phone. Young Master Kang and the rest of them looked at Chen Hao in surprise. "This scumbag is a very excellent actor. My goodness, he was even calling General Manager Li by his first name. If I did not know any better, I would think that General Manager Li and him were good friends!" Some of the girls said in contempt. "Chen Hao, I did not realize that you have be like this. To be honest, I am quite happy with the way you turned out. Look at what you''ve be after leaving me! Haha!" Yang Xia derived a certain sense of pleasure from this. She loved to see other people ridiculing him and how he disgraced himself in front of others. To the point where the more embarrassed Chen Hao felt, the more excited she got. This way, it proved that her foresight was right and leaving Chen Hao was the right decision. After Chen Hao was dumped by her, he should be living a more depressing life! Just when Yang Xia was about to ask the guards to throw Chen Hao out while preparing her camera to take a video, the girl beside her suddenly eximed, "Yang Xia, Young Master Kang, look here quick! Why are there so many people walking at a quick pace toward us? The one leading them looks like General Manager Li." "Yes, it''s not just General Manager Li, Director Huang and Director Song are here too. They are few of the most respected and prestigious people in Jin Ling. Why would they be in a hurry toe to the lobby? What the f*ck, isn''t that my father at the back? Why is he with them?" Du Kang''s face paled in that instant. His family was in the international trade business. During the early days, they relied on Jin Ling Commercial Group''s investment to build up their business. Now, they had be one of the wealthiest families in Jin Ling City, so of course they were highly respected. Although his father was very respectful toward Li Zhenguo, it was not to the extent that he had to walk at this fast a pace. What was more, the person currently leading the way was the head of the Commercial Street, Li Zhenguo! "What''s happening?" Du Kang was shocked. When Yang Xia saw them running into the lobby, she was also stunned. Yang Xia and the other girls quickly retreated to a corner in confusion. Only Chen Hao stood in the middle of the lobby calmly. "Chen Hao, are you deliberately trying to get into trouble? Get away from there quickly, General Manager Li ising. In this situation, there is definitely some VVIPing, get the f*ck away from here!" Yang Xia yelled anxiously. Chen Hao did not budge. Besides, he was unable to move even if he wanted to as Li Zhenguo had emerged at the lobby with a group of people. "General Manager Li, nice to meet you....." Yang Xia and the rest of the girls quickly bowed. Their faces looked dark. They were definitely in for a scolding and they were doomed. However, they were ignored by Li Zhenguo and the rest of them. Li Zhenguo immediately walked up to Chen Hao and smiled respectfully while saying, "Young Master Chen, my apologies for making you wait. Let me introduce you to.....¡± Young Master Chen? These three words instantly made the entire atmosphere freeze. Especially Yang Xia''s face. "General Manager Li! W-what did you call him? Young Master Chen?" Yang Xia looked as if she was struck by a10,000 V lightning! The infamous Li Zhenguo was actually treating Chen Hao with such respect? Could it be that Chen Hao was telling the truth just now? That he really was a covert rich second generation heir? Oh my God! The girls'' mouths were so wide that they could almost swallow an egg. Especially Du Kang, who was gulping at the moment. "That''s right, he is the CEO behind Jin Ling Commercial Street, Young Master Chen, also known as Chen Hao. Huh? Why are you guys still here? Who allowed you to speak? Where''s Zheng Yue?" Li Zhenguo thought the service staff was rude. He immediately yelled for Zheng Yue who was standing behind him. After all, this batch of people were recruited by her. Zheng Yue and the rest of the experienced staff were busy working alongside Li Zhenguo in the banquet just now. Hence, they had only just arrived. The moment she heard this, Zheng Yue put on a stern face and immediately gave Yang Xia a p in the face. ¡°Go and stand at the back!" Although it was an honor to be working in the vi, one must know the rules! Yang Xia was stunned by the p. He was telling the truth! It was only when she felt the pain from the p that she knew she wasn''t dreaming. All of it was true! Chen Hao was a rich second generation heir, a true descendant of a wealthy family. Not even Young Master Kang or Lu Chen could hold a candle to him! He was the CEO of Jin Ling Commercial Street. In other words, he was the richest person in Jin Ling. One would dare say he was the richest person in the entire nation. Yang Xia''s heart was hurting like crazy. Wouldn''t that mean that if she were to break up with him three dayster, she would have be a rich woman right now? With Chen Hao''s love for her, absolutely! ¡°Young Master Chen, I will introduce you to them one by one when we get into the private room....." Li Zhenguo made an ''after you'' gesture. Chen Hao nodded his head. Then, he nced at the dumbfounded Yang Xia and the rest of the people. Chen Hao did not feel ted after exacting his brutal revenge on Yang Xia. In fact, Chen Hao did not feel much at all. He felt indifferent. "Ok, let''s go!" Chen Hao retracted his gaze. And prepared to go in. "You better stop right there!" At this moment, Yang Xia suddenly roared. Chen Hao jumped in fright out N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. of habit. Then, he saw Yang Xia rushing over. However, it was not in his direction, it was in Zheng Yue''s direction. p! Yang Xia lifted her hands and gave her a hard p. "You....... Yang Xia, how dare you p me? Security! Security!" Zheng Yue was dumbfounded. This was the first time in her life that she was pped. Yang Xia''s face was flushed. Her face was full of indignation as she said, "Why wouldn''t I dare to p you?!" In the blink of an eye, the security guards had heard Zheng Yue''s words and rushed in. They were about to hold Yang Xia."Who dares to touch me? Do you know who I am?!" Yang Xia suddenly roared. "Let me tell you this, I am Chen Hao''s girlfriend, which means I''m Young Master Chen''s girlfriend. How dare you touch me?!" Yang Xia clenched her fist. She had been in a rtionship with him for two years, and she only knew that he was one of the richest second generation heirs after they broke up. Yang Xia was not satisfied. She did not get anything out of this rtionship! She even got hit! How could she let it go just like that?! "What? Girlfriend?" When the security guards heard this, they did not dare move a muscle. Li Zhenguo also frowned. Everybody directed their gaze at Chen Hao. To be honest, he was shocked by Yang Xia''s behavior. She was indeed mad. Chen Hao said indifferently, "She was, but now she is not my girlfriend anymore!" Now that he had revealed his identity to Yang Xia, Chen Hao was determined topletely sever all ties with her! After uttering those words, he turned and left. Li Zhenguo understood his meaning. He waved his hands at the security guards, ordering them to drive her out. "Chen Hao, you ungrateful b*stard! Have you forgotten who apanied you for the past two years when you were poor? You have always felt that I owed you because I broke up with you although you have sacrificed a lot for me. However, have you ever thought about me? For the two years that we were together, I have never forced you to buy any expensive gifts for me. The things that you bought for me were all bought on your own volition!" "Furthermore, during those times, no girls were willing to pay attention to a poor loser like you. I was the only one who apanied you for a walk around campus. We had our meals together and held each other''s hands. The first time we went out together, you did not hold my hands because you felt inferior. At that time, it was I who took the initiative to hold your hands. How dare you treat me like this now?" Yang Xia cried and screamed as she was dragged away by the security guards. Chen Hao had almost reached the inner section of the vi. When he heard Yang Xia''s words, he couldn''t help but stop walking. Why did Chen Hao always have a love-hate rtionship with Yang Xia? Memories kept shing through his mind, so no matter how badly Yang Xia treated him, he always wished the best for her. At that moment, Yang Xia''s words struck a nerve with Chen Hao and he slowly turned his head¡­ Chapter 56 Why Can’t We Stop Here? Chapter 56 Why Can¡¯t We Stop Here? Chen Hao turned around and looked at Yang Xia indifferently. "Yang Xia, I have never forgotten the things you said just now. It was precisely because you did not turn your back on me that I felt that there was still some hope in my life. Did you know? I had promised myself so many times that I would give you my everything. Some time ago, when you broke up with me, to be honest, that pain that I felt still hasn''tpletely vanished, and I''m still feeling the pain now. I will always wish the very best for you!" "It has always been this way and will always be. I hope that you will live a good life!" After the events that happened today, he could never get back together with Yang Xia. And these weren''t half-hearted words, it really came from the bottom of his heart. After listening to his words, Yang Xia stopped being hysterical. She only looked flushed. He was right. Once, she had a guy who loved her so much that he was willing to sacrifice everything for her. However, she only wanted someone whom she could depend on. Even now, Yang Xia didn''t dare say that she used to bepletely in love with Chen Hao. Because at that time, she just wanted to find a guy who would love her mindlessly. However, after a while, she saw many girls with rich and handsome boyfriends, and some of whom were not as pretty as her. Hence, Yang Xia''s heart started to waver. Before this, she had only heard of Lu Chen before, but she did not know him. However, when he parked his BMW right in front of her to ask her out, Yang Xia was really touched. Chen Hao was nothingpared to Lu Chen. When she was breaking up with Chen Hao, she also felt hurt. However, when she received an iPhone from Lu Chen, the pain soon vanished. Now, Chen Hao was a rich second generation heir. Moreover, he was one of the richest. Yang Xia really regretted it. She had missed such an important person! In addition to that, Chen Hao''s words just now were clear. There was no chance of them getting back together! She felt like somebody had stripped her naked and thrown her onto the streets. Such humiliation! "OK, I understand!" Yang Xia stared at him with red-rimmed eyes and clenched her fist. She spoke clearly, one word at a time, "However, you better remember this Chen Hao. I will not let you look down on me forever. One of these days, I will make you eat my dust! I will make you pay for all the humiliation I have suffered today!" Yang Xia dried her tears and red at Chen Hao. After that, she ripped off her uniform and threw it viciously at Chen Hao''s feet. Then, she left. Chen Hao stared after her retreating figure. He had mixed feelings about this, especially after seeing Yang Xia''s determination just now. He only had one thing to say-I wish you all the best! This was a very unexpected incident. Zheng Yue, who had endured a p in the face just now, did not dare say anything at this moment. Even if she was his ex-girlfriend, she had been Young Master Chen''s girlfriend at one point. She could only unwillingly swallow her anger. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. The group of people reached the private room. Director Huang from the Business Administration office and Director Song from the Education Bureau met with Chen Hao today with a purpose in mind. They were here regarding some investment and fund issues. Not only that, they were also helping the children of some of theirborers with the preparations for the Hope Elementary School and many other things. They hoped to get some help from Jin Ling Commercial Group. These were originally under the directives of his sister, Chen Xiao. Currently, she had assigned these projects to him, and Chen Hao understood her purpose. She wanted him to gain their favor, so Chen Hao signed the contracts with pleasure. Of course, Huang Weimin and Song Qiusheng were very grateful. You should know that all the contracts that were signed by Chen Hao weren''t easy projects. For example, Jin Ling wanted to build at least 20 Hope Elementary School. Of course, the meal went on smoothly. Chen Hao also got acquainted with several businessmen from Jin Ling. "Young Master Chen, this is my name card. If you need anything in the future, just give me a call!" Before he left, Huang Weimin shook Chen Hao''s hands. He never expected Young Master Chen, who was an absolute epitome of China''s Billionaire, to be such a humble person. He was very different from the person he imagined he was. Besides, Chen Hao had helped him big time. However, Chen Hao knew that he was still weak in the aspect of social rtions, but there was no rush, he could take his time! "Young Master Chen!" After the guests had left, Chen Hao prepared to leave as well. Tomorrow was the driver license test. He had to go back and practice! At this moment, Zheng Yue walked over, her face blushing with embarrassment. After all, she had endured a p to her face just now. She felt somewhat embarrassed standing in front of Chen Hao now. However, Chen Hao was actually the one who was embarrassed. This pretty senior had always been very alluring. Last time, he nearly surrendered himself over to her attractiveness! "What''s up?" Chen Hao asked. "It''s like this, Young Master Chen. I have no more shifts in the evening, so I wonder if I could give you a ride home since my house and your campus is just along the way?" Zheng Yue stood near to Chen Hao deliberately. After she found out that Chen Hao was such a humble and reserved person, other than a growing sense of respect in her heart, she was also bolder in her approach to Chen Hao. After all, if she were to have a good rtionship with Chen Hao, or even have the opportunity to have sex with him, she was willing to do it, even if it meant bing his venting tool. "Alright!" Chen Hao agreed without thinking. After all, Zheng Yue didn''t dare show her temper even after receiving a p from Yang Xia. In a way, this had something to do with him. Zheng Yue was delighted after she heard his words, and quickly went to get her car. However, Chen Hao did not expect Zheng Yue to be driving such a nice car- -a Mercedes-Benz. It seemed like Zheng Yue was doing very well in the vi. They chatted intermittently in the car. At this moment, Zheng Yue''s phone rang. However, when she took a look at the phone, she hung it up impatiently. Not long after that, her phone rang again. Zheng Yue immediately rejected the call. "You can answer it. Why? Are you scared that I would listen in?" Chen Hao smiled bitterly. Zheng Yue''s face was flushed. "No way, I do not have any secrets in front of you, Young Master Chen. Whatever you wish to hear or see, I will satisfy you... Her soft-spoken words-in addition to her deliberate attempt to lift her legs to expose a pair of snow- white thighs-made Chen Hao''s blood boil. He really wanted to pinch her thigh, but he felt embarrassed to do so. At this moment, her phone rang again. This time, Zheng Yue did not hang up the phone. She immediately answered the call,¡°Xu Chao, are you out of your f*cking mind? Why do you always have to call me? I have already said that we can never be together and it''s not because of your wealth! I already have somebody I like, so you should go find someone else as soon as possible! Since you are so rich, there shouldn''t be any shortage of women!" After uttering those words, Zheng Yue hung up her phone viciously. She deliberately raised her voice. Firstly, she wanted to let Chen Hao know that there were some rich second generation heirs pursuing her but she was not a gold digger. Secondly, she was hinting to Chen Hao that she was single now and if he wanted it, he could do whatever he pleased with her. It was a pity that Young Master Chen hadn''t done anything to her yet. Did she have to take the initiative? Just when both of them were at a loss- with one of them waiting, while the other one was too embarrassed to make the first move-the car had reached the entrance of Jin Ling College. This was a 700,000 Mercedes-Benz, so naturally it attracted many people''s attention. "OK, just drop me off here then!" Chen Hao saw several students looking in their direction. If they were to drive inside, they would definitely attract a lot of attention and that itself was quite an ufortable feeling. However at this moment, Zheng Yue was silent. She was frowning and looking shyly at a group of guys and girls at the college entrance. She whispered, "Young Master Chen, could we just go in a bit further or reverse the car further? Just don''t get down here!" "Huh? Why?" Chapter 57 He Is a Boy Toy Chapter 57 He Is a Boy Toy Chen Hao looked at Zheng Yue''s expression. Something''s wrong. Immediately, he followed the direction of Zheng Yue''s gaze and looked at the group of girls and boys. He was surprised at what he saw. There were two guys and a girl. One of the guys looked more like a nobleman, and there was a Maserati parked in front of him. He looked like he was rich. He was talking to the girl and guy. To Chen Hao''s surprise, he knew that guy and girl. It was Xu Nan, from his ss, and Zhao Yifan''s roommate, Lin Jiao. Oh My God! They''re together now? Chen Hao was in shock. It seemed like Zheng Yue knew them as well. Because at the moment, the nobleman had moved his eyes to their direction. He ran toward Zheng Yue''s car with excitement. "Damn it! Ah! Young Master Chen, I''m not cursing you. I''m cursing Xu Chao. I didn''t expect him to be here. He seems to be everywhere!" Zheng Yue was annoyed. Everything was going so smoothly, but why did Xu Chao have to be here? Chen Hao understood. He must be one of Zheng Yue''s suitors. But Zheng Yue clearly is not fond of him. However, Chen Hao didn''t know that Zheng Yue had some feelings for Xu Chao before she got to know Chen Hao. Chen Hao was too embarrassed to get out of the car now, especially when he saw Xu Nan and Lin Jiao walking toward them with a smile. "Well, you can go down and talk to your friends. I''ll wait for you in the car. Take me directly to the dorm entrance after you are done." Chen Hao scratched his head helplessly. "Yes, Young Master Chen!" Zheng Yue answered and got out of the car. "Xu Chao, why are you here? And why have you been calling me just now? Don''t you have anything better to do?" Zheng Yue stomped her feet in anger. "Zheng Yue, I did not expect to meet you here. I came to send my younger brother and my friend back to school. I remember you mentioned that you wanted to visit here more often, so, I thought I''d call you and ask you to go with me!" Xu Chao smiled and said, "Zheng Yue, let me introduce you to my cousin, Xu Nan. He is in his third year of college. This is his girlfriend, Lin Jiao. She is also in her third year of the Broadcasting Department." "Haha, hi Sis-inw. You are so beautiful!" Xu Nanughed. To be honest, his eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw Zheng Yue, who was sexy and beautiful. "Who is your sister-inw? I''m not Xu Chao''s girlfriend!" Zheng Yue just wanted Xu Chao to leave her alone. Her face was not weing at all. Xu Nan was stunned. Actually, he had noticed that Zheng Yue was unusually cold when she was speaking to his cousin over the phone earlier. It looks like Xu Chao has been wrong. He said that women needed to be coaxed, but with this attitude and expression, it will never work. Coax my ass! Xu Chao''s pride was hanging by a thread. He quickly smiled and said, "Come on, Zheng Yue. Stop joking around. Let''s go. Stop your car by the side and let''s go for a stroll!" "Joking around? Xu Chao, I''ve already made my words clear. It''s impossible for us to be together. I have someone in my heart. With your wealth, I''m sure you have no problem finding other beautiful girls. Don''t waste your time and energy on me!" Zheng Yue said mercilessly. At this moment, some students who were about to head off to party were attracted by this scene. There were two luxury cars and a couple was quarreling. It was hard not to attract attention, especially now when Zheng Yue was talking so loudly. Xu Chao could hardly save his pride. "Zheng Yue, who is in your heart? Don''t tell me it''s that sugar daddy who gave you this Mercedes Benz? He''s almost sixty!" Xu Chao said viciously. "Shit, Xu Chao, do you think you can pay a bit more attention to what you say?" Zheng Yue was gnashing her teeth with hate. Lin Jiao, who was on the side, held Xu Nan''s arm intimately. At that moment, she looked at Zheng Yue from head to toe. To be honest, Lin Jiao was very jealous when she saw Zheng Yue, a beautiful woman, getting out of a luxury car. Moreover, Zheng Yue didn''t even acknowledge her presence at all. Lin Jiao was very unhappy. Now that she had somewhat understood the situation, she whispered to Xu Nan and Xu Chao, "It looks like Zheng Yue is very sociable. Oh well, it''s normal for some big bosses to buy her a car. But when ites to the one in her heart, maybe it''s not one of those big bosses. Maybe she has a new boy toy!" p! As soon as Lin Jiao finished her sentence, Zheng Yue already pped her angrily. "You better watch your words. Who did you say have a boy toy?¡± "Y-you...How dare you hit me?" Lin Jiao covered her face. She almost fainted from the p. Zheng Yue wanted to p her again. But Xu Chao grabbed her wrist. "Zheng Yue, what Lin Jiao said, was it true? Do you have a boy toy?" Xu Chao said nervously. ¡°Xu Chao, let me go! My love life is none of your business!" Zheng Yue really regretted it now. If she knew this would happen, she wouldn''t have gotten out of the car. Although Xu Chao had seen her, it was no big deal. She could have just stepped on the elerator and driven away. Now what? I''m associated with big bosses and boy toys? The good impression that l left on Young Master Chen is all ruined! But the more she acted this way, the more Xu Chao believed that it was true. Damn it, he had spent so much money on this woman, yet she was actually keeping a boy toy? Chen Hao sat in the car and listened to their squabble. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Actually, he was speechless. Zheng Yue loved money very much, and Chen Hao knew it from the beginning. Especially when she worked as a receptionist in Hot Spring Vi. She was even the leader now. To say that her social rtions were notplicated was impossible. But now, Chen Hao only hoped for Zheng Yue to drive away quickly. Suddenly, he spotted a shadow beside him. The shadow stooped over. It was Lin Jiao. Lin Jiao was pped just now and she wanted to see if her face was swollen. If it was swollen, Lin Jiao would definitely fight with Zheng Yue. So, she was looking at her reflection on the passenger seat''s window. She also made a cute face to see if she looked cute even after the p. Yup, I''m still cute! Lin Jiao nodded with satisfaction. Then, her body froze. Because, through the ss, she could faintly see that there was someone sitting in the passenger seat. It was a man. It''s so embarrassing. Lin Jiao didn''t care. She looked at Zheng Yue with a sneer and said to Xu Chao, "Xu Chao, she does have a boy toy. The boy toy is sitting in her passenger seat now. He dares not show his face!" Lin Jiao was as excited as if she had discovered a new universe. Compared to Xu Nan, his cousin Xu Chao''s family was richer. They were also very powerful in this area. Today, Zheng Yue will get what she deserves. This crazy b*tch! Acting all high and mighty! "What?" After listening to this remark, Xu Chao and Xu Nan looked toward the passenger seat together. Due to the car''s film, the two did not take a closer look at the car just now. They didn''t notice anyone in the car at all. Looking closely now, there was indeed a person sitting in the car. They didn''t know that Chen Hao was already cursing the hell out of them! This...The me of the war has spread onto me? Chen Hao had a bad feeling. More and more people were gathering outside the car now! Chapter 58 He is Insane Chapter 58 He is Insane ¡°What''s going on?" someone asked curiously as they saw a huge crowd gathering. ¡°Not sure. But it seems like this rich guy is courting this pretty girl. They started to quarrel when the guy found out that the girl has betrayed him and is keeping a boy toy!" "Yes, and the boy toy is now in the car. It feels so thrilling to witness a culprit being caught red-handed!" ¡°Tsk tsk, how wonderful it would be if l was her boy toy.This girl is so beautiful.l have no objection even if she bleeds me dry!" someone howled like a wolf. A lot of guys looked either envious or jealous, while Chen Hao felt like hitting his head on the wall in the car. ¡°Xu Nan, what happened?" At this moment, two people walked to him from the crowd. A guy and a girl approached Xu Nan.¡°Wang Yang, Weiwei, I''m helping my cousin out!" Xu Nan said. He quickly gave them a brief exnation. Everyone had a certain amount of vanity. When it came to an incident where a lot of people were watching,some people would take the opportunity to gain attention bying forward to butt in on the incident. "Damn! This really happened? Don''t worry. Since we''re in the same department, let''s deal with it together. Ask the person to get out of the car and talk to us!" Wang Yang showed a disdainful look. ¡°That''s right!Ask the person in the car to show himself!" Lin Jiao said impatiently. ¡°No way! Who do you think you are? Get out from here!" Zheng Yue stared at them in anger and turned to leave.What happened now would spoil Young Master Chen''s reputation, and if that happened, she could never bear the responsibility. But the more she acted this way, the more Xu Chao believed that it was true. He was burning with jealousy and he couldn''t calm himself down. "Zheng Yue, you can''t leave! I want an exnation!" While they were arguing, Xu Nan and Wang Yang had already walked toward the car and wanted to open the passenger seat''s door. But before they did, Chen Hao opened the door by himself and got out of the car as he saw that things had gone horribly wrong. It looked like there would be more misunderstandings if he continued to stay in the car. "Chen Hao!" "What the hell!" "F*ck!" "What?" Xu Nan, Lin Jiao, Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei''s jaws dropped when they saw Chen Hao. "It''s you?" Lin Jiao yelped surprisingly. To be honest, recently, Lin Jiao had found Chen Hao to be endearing. Too bad I''m ignored by this silly Chen Hao all the time. In fact, Chen Hao was part of the reason she went out with Xu Nan. Since you don''t like me, well, I''ll date the boy in your ss. I want to see if you feel jealous! After all, Lin Jiao thought that Chen Hao was probably the legendary and mysterious Young Master Chen. Being prepared for his sake was definitely worth it. However, the difference between her imagination and the ''reality'' was simply too huge. "Damn, I have been wondering how you became so rich. Now I know that it''s because you''ve be a boy toy. You even showed off the money you''ve gotten in our ss." Xu Nan''s face darkened. However, he felt oddly satisfied when he found out it was Chen Hao. "Zheng Yue was only giving me a ride back to school. Don''t overthink!" Chen Hao smiled indifferently. Although he felt a little awkward, he didn''t feel panic at all. "Overthink my ass! Don''t you dare deny that you''re the boy toy of my cousin''s girlfriend! The money that you spent is probably from my cousin too!" Xu Nan scolded him. "What''s going on? Xu Nan, do you know him?" Xu Chao nced at Chen Hao with hostility. "Ha, ha, not only do I know him, he is also one of our ssmates. He is just a poor loser who became rich overnight. He told us that he had won the lottery, but I never thought that it''s because he became someone''s boy toy instead!" "Exactly. I heard that Chen Hao went to buy clothes in a high-end store near the entrance of our college the other day. A girl about our age went over to help him when he was out of money to pay for the clothes. Chen Hao gave me the clothes as a presentter on! That young pretty girl is really rich and she''s the owner of that shopping mall. Don''t tell me that you''re her boy toy as well?" Jiang Weiwei asked. Actually, when Chen Hao gave her the clothes as a present a few days ago, she brought the clothes to the shop to check if Chen Hao was lying to her. She was stunned when she knew that the clothes cost around 70,000 to 80.000. However, some employees in the shop were probably ming Chen Hao for giving away Lin Yiyi''s gift so they told Jiang Weiwei about the incident in a huff. Only then did Jiang Weiwei know that Chen Hao was penniless. Indeed, she had always wondered how Chen Hao got all that money. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. Now she understood. Chen Hao was a boy toy and what the people said about him online was true. And he even had more than one woman sponsoring him. Last time it was a Ferrari, and this time it was a Mercedes-Benz. Now everything was clear! "Humph! Chen Hao, your honest look deceived everyone. I never thought that you were this kind of person! How could Tong Xin treat this loser as her good friend?" Wang Yang sneered a little. The crowd was in an uproar."Tsk tsk, you''re a typical gigolo!" "This guy has delicate features but 1 wouldn''t consider him handsome. How is he able to attract so many pretty girls?" "Humph! You never know, some women prefer this type of guy!" The crowd was full of criticism. Xu Chao was boiling and wanted to pick a fight. p! Zheng Yue had raised her hand and gave Xu Chao a hard p on his face. "Don''t poke your nose into my business! You fucking get out of here now!" Zheng Yue was going mad! Xu Chao was indeed annoying, but Zheng Yue didn''t hate him that much. She couldn''t imagine what would happen to him if he so much as even touched Young Master Chen today. "Zheng Yue, I can''t believe that you pped me because of this boy toy!" Xu Chao felt ashamed and left immediately with his fists clenched. He threw a warning nce at Chen Hao. He saw some people taking photos at the scene and didn''t dare to stay any longer. Just then, Chen Hao''s phone rang. He nced and saw that it was a call from Lin Yiyi. What''s going on today? Chen Hao smiled bitterly inside his heart."Hello?" "Young Master Chen, I just want to inform you that the Carnival Party will be held on Grand Sky Cruise. They''ve booked the venue, and your attendance is a must! Xiaofei and the others were d to hear that you''re joining us!" Lin Yiyi said gently. "Oh, Grand Sky Cruise? Aright!" "Young Master Chen, let me fetch you on that day!" "Fetch me? You don''t have to. I have my car. I''ll get my license by the end of this month. Send me the location, I''ll drive there!" "Okay!" Chen Hao ended the phone call. But he saw Xu Nan, Lin Jiao, Jiang Weiwei and Wang Yang looking at him in astonishment. "Grand Sky Cruise? You''re going to the carnival on Grand Sky Cruise at the end of this month?" Wang Yang asked in surprise. "You''re driving there? Chen Hao, do you even have a car?" Jiang Weiwei was surprised too. "Grand Sky Cruise Carnival. This boy toy is not an idiot. I heard that Young Master Xu, the son of the richest man in Jin Ling, is going to the carnival too! This news has gone viral over the inte. It looks like this boy toy is good at acting too." "Ha, ha, I guess he''s just trying to put on an act. Look at his shameless behavior!" The crowdughed as if they were watching a madman put on a show. Hearing the taunts from the crowd, Chen Hao really wanted to fight back. It was very simple. He only had to walk to the park and drive his Lamborghini Reventon around the school. However, with his personality, this was not what Chen Hao would do. Hehe, it''s up to you all what you want to say. Chen Hao turned and left immediately after he thanked Zheng Yue. "Motherf*cker, don''t think that you are so high and mighty. You are only a good-for- nothing boy toy! I''ll make you pay for it!" Xu Nan said viciously, staring at Chen Hao''s back. Chen Hao went straight to the driving schoolpound. "Chen Hao!" He heard Su Tongxin''s voice behind him... chapter 59 Reappearance of Childhood Trauma chapter 59 Reappearance of Childhood Trauma Chen Hao turned around and saw Su Tongxin. "Are you also here to practice driving?¡± Chen Hao smiled. Yes. my driving test is tomorrow.Oh right, isn''t your driving test tomorrow as well?" Su Tongxin did not manage to sit for her test previously. for she had left due to her family''s crisis. Naturally,she had to retake her test. Chen Hao nodded. "Alright! Let''s go together tomorrow.I hope that both of us pass the tests!" "No problem! Let''s head over to the driving site!" Chen Hao gradually loosened up over time in front of Su Tongxin. He was no longer as nervous and as awkward as before. The experience from attending big social events and meeting big shots definitely helped. The experiences were able to greatly expand Chen Hao''s knowledge and views. They practiced for the entire afternoon On the flowing day, both of them attended their tests respectively. Everything went smoothly for Chen Hao. He passed both his written and practical tests in one go. He would receive his driving license within the next two days. Chen Hao and Su Tongxin agreed to meet at the entrance of the examination site. Then, they would head for lunch together. Chen Hao had to be tested on two subjects, thus, he needed more timepared to Su Tongxin. As Chen Hao walked out of the examination site, he saw Su Tongxin already waiting there for him. However, there was a young couple standing beside Su Tongxin. They looked about the same age and they were talking to her. Chen Hao slowly walked over. The three of them were happily chatting and did not notice Chen Hao. "Tongxin,e to think of it, other than family gatherings, we barely meet each other. Did youe here alone?" Although the girl was smiling, it was obvious she was putting on a front. There was a hint of mockery in her tone. "Yes, Su Ying, we barely see each other, yet you still amaze me. Have you recently changed your boyfriend again? Is he the newest one?" Su Tongxin replied with an insolent tone as well. The two of them were like mortal enemies. Tension was always present between them and they got extremely jealous of each other whenever they met. They were constantly arguing and tying to score off each other! Upon hearing what Su Tongxin said, the expression of the handsome guy who was next to Su Ying changed. "Tongxin, no matter what, I am still a few months older than you. ording to seniority within the family, you should address me as your cousin sister. How can you be so disrespectful toward me?" Su Ying got slightly mad. Both of them were born within the Su Family. Su Ying''s father was the uncle of Su Tongxin. Plus Su Qi, the three of them were cousins. Although there were benefits of having cousins of the same age, there were conflicts as well. Ever since they were young, Su Ying and Su Tongxin had always been thrown intoparison because they were the same age. All these happened ever since they were kids. Su Tongxin excelled in almost everything and had always performed better than Su Ying, be it in academics or in her conduct. During family gatherings, the mostmon phrase said to Su Ying by the elderly would be ¡®You should learn from your younger cousin sister!'' Su Ying had lived with this trauma all through childhood. Therefore, Su Ying had always viewed Su Tongxin as a nemesis and she would treat everything as a Although they have already grown up, the trauma persisted. As such, they still spoke to each other harshly. "Ha, ha, Tongxin, I know you have always been snobby and have always had high standards. But so what anyway? You still haven''t gotten a single boyfriend. Do you know how it feels to be pampered by a guy?" Su Ying crossed her arms and smiled. "You had to take your driving test alone. Unlike you, I have someone like Jiannan to always apany me! He couldn''t bear the thought of leaving me for a second!" U Jiannan smiled happily and wrapped his arm around Su Ying''s waist. I''m helping my girl fend off her cousin sister. If Su Ying ends up happy, who knows if she might give me her body! Su Tongxin could not stand the insult. All these years, she had always been single. She had always been nonchnt to couples showing off their love in front of her. Yet, of all days, she bumped into Su Ying on the day of her driving test. Furthermore, Su Ying brought her boyfriend along to show off. Both of them were so used topeting that they could not control themselves from being jealous of each other whenever they met. Su Tongxin was furious. Yet, she was at a loss for words. "Tongxin!" Chen Hao had been listening and watching from the side. Upon seeing Su Tongxin being bullied, he stepped out. "Ah! Chen Hao!" Upon seeing Chen Hao, Su Tongxin was surprised. Why did Chen Hao appear at this moment? This is so embarrassing! ¡°Oh? Tongxin, who is this?" Su Ying scrutinized Chen Hao from head to toe. She smiled after realizing Chen Hao was dressed in typical clothing. Her own friends were all famous and rich whereas Su Tongxin''s friends were of this calibre. How did this guy address Su Tongxin? Tongxin? Was there something going on between them? "This is my friend, Chen Hao. Why?" Su Tongxin introduced Chen Hao to Su Ying "Oh! Su Ying, I thought that was your brother-inw!" Li Jiannan said while stretching out his arm to disy the watch on his wrist. The watch was a golden Rolex and Li Jiannan wanted to show that he was superiorpared to Chen Hao. However, since they were only friends, the n fell through. "Jiannan, how is that possible? How could Tongxin have gotten a boyfriend? She is always so snobbish! Furthermore, take a look at this guy and his clothes! How could he be Tongxin''s boyfriend?" Su Ying sneered. She targeted her insults at Su Tongxin and did not care about how Chen Hao felt. In her eyes, Chen Hao was nothing. "Haha..." Instead of being angry after being ridiculed, Su Tongxin was happy, "Su Ying, you are wrong. Chen Hao is not only my ssmate but also my boyfriend!" Su Tongxin then walked over to Chen Hao and held onto his arm. The soft touch from her body made Chen Hao tremble. I''m Tongxin''s boyfriend? Chen Hao had always wished for that to happen. Yet, he did not expect it to happen this way. Chen Hao had mixed feelings. Su Ying and Li Jiannan were stunned. "Haha, Su Tongxin, I know you are trying to make me mad. You want to get a boyfriend to contest with me especially during Grandma''s birthday celebration on the day after tomorrow. However, at least find someone of a higher status. Why would you get someone that looks like this?" "Oh right, I have yet to introduce Jiannan to you! He is the young master of Li''s Corporation. Do you know what car Jiannan owns? He drives a Ferrari! That alone is enough to show that you have lost to me!" Su Ying''s face turned red. I know Su Tongxin would never surrender in front of me! So let''spete! I''m not afraid! Su Tongxin was not to be outdone. She replied, "Haha, so what? My boyfriend Chen Hao is also a rich heir of a wealthy family. He is just humble unlike a certain person''s boyfriend who only knows how to show off!" Su Tongxin''s arm wrapped tighter around Chen Hao. She went all out. "Haha, what? This guy is a rich heir? A humble wealthy descendant? Su Tongxin, I surrender. I really surrender to your thick skin!" Su Ying burst outughing. Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org. On the other hand, Chen Hao''s mind was filled with questions. He was shocked at the extent of their childhood trauma. Even a goddess like Su Tongxin could not rise above it. The only reason Chen Hao became her boyfriend was topete with Su Ying. Yet, what surprised Chen Hao the most was thest sentence Su Tongxin said! "Tongxin, you knew?" Chen Hao had always been troubled by the problem of revealing his identity to his friends. After what Su Tongxin said, Chen Hao''s burden lessened. Su Tongxin was stunned. "Know what?" "That I am a descendant of a wealthy family!" Chen Hao replied. Chapter 60 You are Young Master Chen! Chapter 60 You are Young Master Chen! "What did you say? You are a wealthy descendant? Hahal!" Su Ying was ted. Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. Su Tongxin had always been arrogant and lukewarm toward others. Who would have thought that she would date such a weird person? He was an idiot. Li Jiannan also sneered, "Brother Chen Hao, may I ask where you are working now? What business does your family do?" As he said that, he shook his wrist and took a look at his watch. He was afraid others would not be able to identify that he was wearing a Rolex watch. Chen Hao coldly replied, "Both of you are ineligible to know what businesses my family owns!" "Haha!" Both of them burst intoughter. Su Tongxin tugged at Chen Hao and hinted him to stop talking. She panicked and sprouted nonsense. She did not expect Chen Hao to continue lying and acting. Su Tongxin knew that Chen Hao was very poor. He was always bullied in school but recently got lucky with a lottery strike. Despite winning the lottery, he was still miles apart from Li Jiannan''s status. She merely said that to piss Su Ying off. At the end of the day, Su Ying was not mad. Instead, she ridiculed Su Tongxin. The four of them had their own trail of thoughts. Bang! Just then, a loud crashing sound of a vase being smashed on the floor could be heard. "I don''t care, I don''t care! I want to receive my license and I want to start driving today. I don''t care what method you use but I want to receive my license today!" Chen Hao turned around and looked. It was a girl who was roughly around 20 years old. She was being unreasonable with her boyfriend and making a scene. Both of them were dressed rather well. The girl probably failed her exam and thus she was furious. "Xia Ming, don''t worry! I wille up with something. Let me try to pull some strings in order to get your license as soon as possible!" "That''s more like it! I don''t understand why other girls can receive their license so soon while I can''t! The car I was driving had some issues. That''s why I couldn''t reverse my car into the parking lot! Ah! I want to be able to drive your Lamborghini Gardo as soon as possible and drive it to visit my alma mater!" Xia Ming was anxious and furious! The guy tried his best to calm her down and appease her. Chen Hao wondered if he had seen these two people before. They looked very familiar to him, but he could not recall exactly where and when he saw them. "Young Master Jiang, Miss Xia Ming?" Li Jiannan was surprised and called out their names. ¡°Ah? Jiannan, you know this big shot who drives a Lamborghini?" Su Ying tidied up her hair and asked. "Yes I know him! Young Master Jiang was a senior in our Jiang Nan College. His family is involved in the milk industry and they got rich a long time ago. Previously I saw his social media and he shared a photo of his new Lamborghini Gardo. The car cost 3,800,000! Goddamn!" Li Jiannan proudly introduced. He was proud that he knew such a powerful Young Master. "Wow! A Lamborghini that cost 3,80000! That''s so cool!." Su Ying was excited. Li Jiannan''s Ferrari only costs 750,000. That was enough to make Su Ying feel that he was powerful! Li Jiannan tidied up his attire. Then, he rushed over to greet Young Master Jiang. "Jiannan, it''s you!" Young Master Jiang saw Li Jiannan walking over. Xia Ming who was making a scene stopped causing amotion. The few of them started chatting. "Such a coincidence! Come to think of it, we have not seen each other for a few years ever since our graduation. Let me take a look at how you are doing. Oh not bad! You are driving a Ferrari now!" Young Master Jiang gave a bitter smile. "It is nothingpared to you! You are driving a Lamborghini. Oh Young Master Jiang, where is your car? I would like to see it with my own eyes!" Su Ying held onto Li Jiannan''s arm and yfully smiled at Young Master Jiang. Superiority. Su Tongxin could ignore what others said but she could not stand her nemesis, Su Ying, who had always acted so condescendingly. Su Ying''s speech prated deep into her heart. "None of your business! Not like we want to take a look anyway!" Su Tongxin was filled with pent up anger. She wanted to leave right away with Chen Hao. "Let''s take a look!" Chen Hao grinned. On one hand, Chen Hao knew that Su Tongxin wanted to take a look at the sports car. He also did not want Su Tongxin to leave with pent up anger. On the other hand, Chen Hao also wanted to take a look himself. He was curious about the differences between this Lamborghini sports car and his own Lamborghini sports car! Most importantly, Chen Hao felt that the two of them looked very familiar. "Alright! You all can go and have a look as well. However, Young Master Jiang only knows Jiannan. Therefore, he wouldn''t invite you for a meal!" Su Ying smirked. Chen Hao brought Su Tongxin over to the car. Once he saw the Lamborghini Gardo, Chen Hao recalled everything! No wonder he felt that the both of them looked familiar. Aren''t they the couple who helped the salesperson make fun of me when I was buying the car? Back then, the girl had heavy makeup on. Today, she only put on light makeup probably due to the examination. As such, Chen Hao could not recognize her. Chen Hao clearly remembered Xia Ming sitting in his car and refusing to get out! Haha, such a small world! "Damn! A sports car worth 3,800,000 is really different! It looks so grand and high end!" "Young Master Jiang, are we going to be riding in your car to head for a meal?" Su Ying was envious. "Sure thing! Oh? Jiannan, are these two your friends?" Only then did Young Master Jiang realize the presence of Chen Hao and Su Tongxin. Of course he did not pay attention to Chen Hao but naturally the elegance and beauty of Su Tongxin caught his eyes. He thought that Su Tongxin was beautiful. She was much prettier than Jiannan''s girlfriend, Su Ying. "Haha, she is my cousin. The loser next to her is her boyfriend!" Su Ying mocked. She emphasized on the term ''boyfriend'' as a hint for Young Master Jiang. "Oh, I see!" Young Master Jiang smiled and walked over to Su Tongxin. He wanted to shake her hand. Su Tongxin took a step back as she was annoyed with his lecherous gaze. Instead, Chen Hao walked up and grabbed his hand. He said, "Hello, Young Master Jiang!" "Damn!" Young Master Jiang frowned. He could not believe that he shook his hand with a poor loser. He nced at Chen Hao disappointingly. "Hello... Sh*t, why are you here?" He took a closer look at Chen Hao. Young Master Jiang froze on the spot. His body trembled uncontrobly as he could not believe what he saw. Although Chen Hao did not look ugly, he belonged to the category of people whereby they would go unnoticed in a crowd. In addition to that, Chen Hao always dressed casually and it was hard for him to be noticed. Thus it took a long while before Young Master Jiang saw him, which naturally gave him a shock! Young Master Chen was the person who bought a Lamborghini that costs18,000,000 without batting an eye. "Young Master Chen, I did not expect to see you here. It''s really great to see you again!" Young Master Jiang shook Chen Hao''s hand excitedly. "Wait, what?" Su Ying was stunned. "Young Master Jiang, what did you address him as?" Chapter 61 Chen Hao, You Have to Go Chapter 61 Chen Hao, You Have to Go ¡°Young Master Chen, are you apanying your girlfriend here for the driving test?¡± After that day, Jiang Cheng already knew that Chen Hao wasn¡¯t an ordinary person. Think about it, it was 18,000,000 and he did not even bat an eyelid. He was indeed a rich guy. Besides, after that incident, Jiang Cheng did a little digging around. Although he didn¡¯t manage to obtain any information on this mysterious Young Master Chen, he knew that the manager of the Lamborghini was a prestigious figure in Jin Ling. Even he had to be respectful to Chen Hao. Naturally, he could guess that Chen Hao wasn¡¯t an ordinary person! ¡°Not really, both of us came here for the exam!¡± Both of them did cross Chen Hao in the past, but when Chen Hao saw that he was so polite at the moment, he responded politely as well. Su Ying and Li Jiannan were dumbfounded at this moment. This was Young Master Jiang, but why was he treating this poor loser with such respect? How could both of them not be surprised when they saw this? ¡°In that case, Young Master Chen, it just so happens that Jin Ling College is along the way. Do you want me to give you a ride?¡± Jiang Cheng said with a smile. He should make friends with people like Chen Hao, because it would be of great benefit in the future. Since it was along the way, Chen Hao did not mind, nor did Su Tongxin. Just like that, both of them left under Su Ying and Li Jiannan¡¯s surprised gaze! ¡°Could Chen Hao be a low-key rich second generation heir, just like Su Tongxin said? Otherwise, why would Young Master Jiang treat him this way?¡± Su Ying¡¯s face looked very dark. She initially wanted to make use of this opportunity to win against her old rival, Su Tongxin. For once, she wanted Su Tongxin to lose. So that she could never lift up her head again in front of her. Even though showing off her boyfriend and his wealth was quite an unrefined move, as long as Su Tongxin did not have what she had, it was enough for her! Su Ying was stamping her foot angrily. ¡°Hmph, Su Ying, don¡¯t jump to conclusions first. I have friends in Jin Ling College. Give me some time. I will go to investigate Chen Hao¡¯s background and see where he came from!¡± Li Jiannan said viciously. After all, this time around, not only was Su Ying eating her own words, even Chen Hao had eggs on his face. On the other hand, after Jiang Cheng sent Chen Hao back, he was adamant about wanting Chen Hao¡¯s WeChat ID. This guy really did know how to curry favor. Since Chen Hao took a ride in his car, he felt that it was not right to refuse him. Forget it, making one more friend was better than one more enemy! After rejecting Jiang Cheng¡¯s request to treat him to a meal, Chen Hao and Su Tongxin walked side-by- side toward the campus. To be honest, Chen Hao had walked with Su Tongxin like this before. However, it wasn¡¯t as awkward as this current moment. Because Su Tongxin actually said he was her boyfriend just now. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t that cheap of a person to be happy about being somebody¡¯s fake boyfriend. It was strange however, since Chen Hao had some affection for her and she allowed him to be her fake boyfriend momentarily. Both situations were contradictory. It was the kind of feeling that you couldn¡¯t be happy even if you wanted to, yet you didn¡¯t feel unhappy although you were being used. This was Chen Hao¡¯s feelings at the moment. ¡°Chen Hao, I am so sorry, just now¡­ It was because of my desperation at that moment that without your consent, I blurted out that you were my boyfriend!¡± Su Tongxin was feeling quite embarrassed. ¡°It¡¯s not a problem at all. Isn¡¯t this for the better? You preserved your dignity and I got to be a prettydy¡¯s boyfriend for more than an hour!¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly. Su Tongxin¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Chen Hao, when did you learn to be such a smooth-talker? I hate those kinds of guys the most!¡± ¡°Does that mean you hate how I¡¯m smooth talking to you now?¡± Unbeknownst to him, Chen Hao was now getting bolder in his conversations. There was no longer a sense of restraint in his manner of speaking. ¡°Hmph. I hate those kinds of guys the most, but I couldn¡¯t dislike a smooth-talker like you even if I wanted to!¡± Chen Hao felt ted when he heard those words. ¡°However, Chen Hao, I feel like you are hiding something from me. You can tell from one look that Jiang Chen doesn¡¯t have an ordinary worth, but why did he show you such respect? Wait, it¡¯s more than respect. It felt like he was trying to curry favors with you.¡± Su Tongxin couldn¡¯t help it. She felt like Chen Hao was getting more and more unpredictable. Actually, this was the reason why Chen Hao ultimately added Jiang Cheng on his WeChat. Throughout the entire conversation, as long as he didn¡¯t mention it, Jiang Cheng did not bring up the fact that he had bought the Revent¨®n. This made Chen Hao feel like Jiang Cheng was quite good at reading the situation. Chen Hao had learned something from this. At that moment, he could only smile and reply, ¡°I have already said just now in front of you that I am one of the top second generation heirs. Because I did not want to give up on my current lifestyle and friends, I strived to keep a low-profile like this. It¡¯s for this reason that Jiang Cheng has to show me some respect!¡± Su Tongxinughed. ¡°Chen Hao, I noticed that you are getting more and more mischievous by the minute. Nothing truees out of your mouth. But if you do not wish to tell me the truth, I won¡¯t force you. Ok, I need to go back to my dorm now. Young Master Chen, since you have passed your driving test, I hope you can buy a car quickly and bring me out for a ride!¡± Su Tongxin fluttered her eyshes and pretended to worship him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will!¡± He knew that Su Tongxin did not believe a word he said, but Chen Hao still nodded his head. To be honest, he really wished that his license would arrive soon so that he could take his car out for a spin. After saying goodbye to Su Tongxin, Chen Hao went back to his dorm. ¡°Damn, Chen Hao, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you switch off your phone? We couldn¡¯t get in touch with you!¡± The moment he got back, Yang Huiined. At this moment, all of them were busy changing their clothes and grooming themselves as if they were nning to go out on a date. ¡°When I went out this morning, the battery of my phone was nearly dead, and during the exam, I had to switch off my phone. I switched on my phone again to add somebody¡¯s Wechat ID but not long after that, my phone battery died!¡± Chen Hao plugged in his phone and smiled helplessly. ¡°I say, Yang Hui and Li Rui, where are you guys going?¡± ¡°If we weren¡¯t waiting for you, we would have left already. Make haste, Chen Hao, and change your clothes. We will be waiting for you downstairs!¡± Li Rui spat some saliva into his hands and smoothed out his hair. ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why are you being so mysterious?¡± Chen Hao¡¯s interest was piqued. ¡°Hehe, today is Xu Xia¡¯s birthday party. She said that she wanted to introduce us to some girls, and this includes you. Come quickly. It¡¯s a chance for all of us to get rid of our single life!¡± Li Rui¡¯s smile bloomed like a flower. He looked dazzling. ¡°Haha, congrattions then. But I¡­¡± ¡°We will beat you to death if you don¡¯t go!¡± Before Chen Hao could finish his sentence, his friendsunched themselves upon him. ¡°I¡¯ll go, I¡¯ll go. I did not say I won¡¯t!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. He had initially nned to rest for a while. At that moment, he had no choice but to follow Yang Hui and the rest of them to Xu Xia¡¯s birthday party. Merlin Manor was the location chosen to host the birthday party. It had a ranch-style theme.Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. It was a suitable ce for a pic, or a ce to wine and dine while enjoying the scenery. It was indeed a good ce for a meal. The ce was a little simple, but there were many luxury cars parked at the foot of the mountain. It was obvious that a lot of VIPs and big shots loved toe to this kind of ce. For one, it was quiet. Secondly, it had a good atmosphere. It had a rustic kind of feeling to it. ¡°Yang Hui, Chen Hao. Over here!¡± The moment Chen Hao and the rest of the group got down from the car, Xu Xia and the girls were already waiting for them at the entrance. They were waving their hands at them. Xu Xia and most of her roommates came. There were a few other young and beautiful girls. They should be Xu Xia¡¯s ssmates who were close to her. All of them were looking in Chen Hao¡¯s direction. After all, before Xu Xia celebrated her birthday, she had told them that all of Yang Hui¡¯s roommates wereing. And she specifically mentioned that they were all single. It so happened that Xu Xia¡¯s friends were single too. Hence, their goals were obvious. They hoped to find that special someone whom they could entrust the rest of their life with! ¡°Chen Hao, you came!¡± Zhao Yifan, who was beside Xu Xia, straightened her hair and spoke softly to Chen Hao¡­ Chapter 62 To Be Attacked by the Crowd Chapter 62 To Be Attacked by the Crowd When Zhao Yifan saw Chen Hao, she felt embarrassed. After all, she was the one who despised Chen Hao the most in the past. Now, the poor loser who she once despised might be a rich Young Master. His worth and social connections would definitely be extraordinary. In short, Chen Hao might be a powerful figure. Zhao Yifan wanted to get close to him. ¡°Of course, today¡¯s Xu Xia¡¯s birthday party right?!¡± Chen Hao smiled. He wasn¡¯t a vengeful person, and he wouldn¡¯t want to hit a person with a smiling face. Xu Xia and Yang Hui gave each other a meaningful look. It was clear that they wanted to y matchmaker. At that moment, they gathered everyone into a private room in the vi. When they were assigning the seats, it was obvious that Yang Hui and Xu Xia both agreed to seat Zhao Yifan and Chen Hao together deliberately. As for Li Rui and the rest of the gang, each of them was ced next to a group of girls to enable them to socialize easily. ¡°Oh by the way, where¡¯s Lin Jiao?¡± Li Rui asked. He looked around and realized that Lin Jiao wasn¡¯t anywhere to be seen.. ¡°Lin Jiao and her boyfriend went out to y. They were gone for the entire day. Sigh, she even told us not to wait for her. She wille in awhile. She even said that she wanted to give us a surprise!¡± Xu Xia smiled. She intentionally told them that Lin Jiao had a boyfriend. This was because Yang Hui had already told Xu Xia that Li Rui was interested in Lin Jiao earlier on. However, Lin Jiao was just too aggressive in her pursuit for power. In addition to that, she had a boyfriend already. Hence, it would serve as a barrier to Li Rui to pursue her. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Oh!¡± Li Rui answered dispiritedly. The situation became a bit awkward. Zhao Yifan smiled and said, ¡°After Lin Jiao got together with Xu Nan, she has be more and more mysterious. Yesterday, she said she wanted to give all of us a big surprise, but she is still leaving us hanging!¡± After uttering those words, she nced at the silent Chen Hao and said, ¡°By the way Chen Hao, did you know that Lin Jiao got back together with your ssmate Xu Nan?¡± ¡°Yeah I do!¡± Of course Chen Hao knew about this. It nearly led to a conflict that day. Xu Nan could be considered his arch nemesis. However, as there were too many people around that day, Chen Hao felt that it wasn¡¯t proper to go up against him. However, after thinking about it, he felt that he really should put Xu Nan in his ce. Or else he would be like an annoying house fly that kept buzzing around in front of his face. If only he could squash him to death just like that, wouldn¡¯t it be divine?! Not long after that, the dishes were served. Zhao Yifan was exceptionally gentle today. She kept filling Chen Hao¡¯s bowl with dishes. She even picked out Chen Hao¡¯s favorite ones. To be honest, Chen Hao was moved by her gesture. He had been despised by others for such a long time that even if Zhao Yifan had looked down on him many times, he couldn¡¯t bring himself to hate her after seeing that she was so nice to him now. Everybody was looking at each other. It seemed that if there were a couple today, it must be Zhao Yifan and Chen Hao. Besides, Zhao Yifan was a stunningdy, and she was taking the initiative here! ¡°Hi my dears, I am so sorry that we arete!¡± Suddenly, the doors to the private room opened. Lin Jiao and Xu Nan came in. Behind them, a young man who looked to be about 25 years old entered together with them. Lin Jiao cried out cutely. ¡°Lin Jiao, we were waiting for you, why did you only appear now? Come take a seat too, Xu Nan. Huh? Who¡¯s this?¡± Xu Xia looked at the handsome young guy behind them. ¡°Oh right, this is Xu Nan¡¯s cousin, Xu Chao. His family owns some business. Initially the three of us went out to y, but when he knew that we were rushing for time, he drove us all the way here!¡± Lin Jiao said while smiling. ¡°Hello everyone, I used to study in Jiang Nan College. I just graduated two years ago, so we are almost the same age. Haha, since I have sent my brother and his girlfriend here, I will be going back now. You guys enjoy yourself. If you need me in the future, just holler!¡± Xu Chao smiled while waving the Maserati car keys in his hands. ¡°Since you are Xu Nan''s cousin, don¡¯t leave, Xu Chao. There¡¯s an extra seat here anyway!¡± Xu Xia said courteously. If she were to let him leave immediately, how could she ount for Lin Jiao¡¯s dignity? After all, they were all living in the same dormitory, and there was enough room for one more. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be an inconvenience?¡± ¡°It¡¯s ok, just take a seat. We nned to announce a big surprise today anyway. If you weren¡¯t here, then it wouldn¡¯t be possible to do that!¡± Lin Jiao smiled. Her gaze suddenly turned cold as she nced at Chen Hao who was sitting in the private room. Her face was full of haughtiness. ¡°Lin Jiao, what¡¯s the big surprise? You have kept us hanging for too long, so spill the beans now!¡± ¡°Yes, what¡¯s this about?¡± All of her roommates were getting impatient. Chen Hao saw Lin Jiao¡¯s gaze and suddenly understood somehow. F*ck! The so-called big surprise, could it be about me? ¡°Of course, I will tell everyone now!¡± Lin Jiao smiled delightedly as Xu Nan gave Chen Hao a cold sweeping gaze. ¡°You better stand up!¡± p! Lin Jiao immediately smacked Chen Hao¡¯s head. His head went numb as he thought, This woman is really asking for it! Chen Hao stood up and red at Lin Jiao. F*ck! How could she smack my head without warning me? ¡°You good-for nothing boy toy, poor loser, jerk! What are you looking at?¡± Lin Jiao crossed her arms. She could do whatever she pleased now. Chen Hao, did you think you were so high and mighty? You embarrassed us in front of you in the past, didn''t you? And here I thought that you were a powerful person. I used all kinds of methods to tter you, yet you were cold and distant. Did you look down upon me? Haha¡­ Because of this, Lin Jiao had been feeling depressed for quite some time. Until a while ago, she intentionally hooked up with Chen Hao¡¯s arch nemesis in order to make him angry, and that was why she went to Xu Nan. Just the day before yesterday, she found out that Chen Hao wasn¡¯t a rich second generation heir, but a boy toy, a male prostitute! Xu Nan even consulted Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei who saw through his facade. They discovered that Chen Hao wasn¡¯t only the boy toy of the famous girl in Hot Spring Vi, Zheng Yue, he was even the boy toy of a Young Lady. There were just too many handsome guys now pretending to be high and mighty just because they were rich. It wasn¡¯t strange that many wealthy women would prefer Chen Hao¡¯s clean and honest appearance. However, if Chen Hao acted as a pretentious prick because of this, then he only had himself to me. ¡°Lin Jiao, what do you think you are doing?¡± Before Xu Xia could get a word in, Zhao Yifan stood up, looking puzzled. ¡°Oh my god, Yifan. Why are you standing up for him? The reason I smacked Chen Hao was for you and not for anyone else! You were the person Chen Hao deceived the most!!!¡± Lin Jiao was stamping her feet anxiously. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°Chen Hao is not the person who we think he is. He is not Young Master Chen, but a boy toy who is provided for by other women. These women not only gave him money and bought him presents but they also drove him around!¡± ¡°Besides that, some of the women are celebrities in Hot Spring Vi. Otherwise, how else could he have possibly brought us all up there?¡± Lin Jiao blurted out everything that she witnessed with her own eyes and her spections about it. After hearing the story, everybody was stunned and looked at Chen Hao in disbelief. ¡°I can guarantee that Zheng Yue, whom I had been pursuing, has a very wide circle of connections in Jin Ling. She knows many powerful businessmen around here. I am not afraid of your ridicules but the reason why I was so anxious in pursuing Zheng Yue was because I wanted her resources as it would be a big help in my career!¡± ¡°However, I did not expect Zheng Yue to provide for Chen Hao. Besides, I heard from Wang Yang, the Vice President of the Student Council, and a student from Xu Nan¡¯s major that other than Zheng Yue, there was another young woman from argemercial chain who bought some gifts for Chen Hao !¡± At this moment, Xu Chao stood up and said while sneering. ¡°What? How could this be?¡± Zhao Yifan could not believe her ears. The rest of the girls were stunned and did not know what to do. After all, they thought that Chen Hao was the mysterious Young Master Chen. To be honest, they knew that they weren¡¯t a match for Zhao Yifan, but they still fought amongst themselves secretly. Because of this, it became quite an awkward situation. They ended up with nothing at all despite all the attempts that they had tried. ¡°I can attest to the clothes buying incident!¡± At this moment, another girl stood up. Chapter 63 Something Happened Chapter 63 Something Happened The person who stood up was Xu Xia. Her feelings wereplicated at the moment. She knew that Yang Hui was Chen Hao¡¯s best friend. However, she did not expect Chen Hao to be able to hide his secret so deeply or even to deceive them for such a long time. Therefore, she felt the need to tell them something she knew. And Yang Hui was the one who gave her that information. ¡°A woman bought Chen Hao some clothes and it cost her more than a hundred thousand. The clothes that I am wearing today was also a gift to Chen Hao by that woman. Chen Hao eventually gave this to Yang Hui!¡± ¡°Xu Xia, what are you saying?!¡± Yang Hui was anxious. To be honest, Yang Hui did joke about this once to Xu Xia a long time ago. He said that his best friend Chen Hao was really popr with women. Whatever he wanted, they would buy it for him. ¡°Haha! Could it be that Chen Hao was kept as a boy toy by women? If it was true, I would like to be a boy toy as well.¡± ¡°I dare you to. If any girls were to treat you that well, I would castrate you first!¡± Xu Xia was so angry that she scolded him at that time. Nobody took it seriously as it was a joke. However, if you put everything together now and coupled it with what Lin Jiao witnessed with her own eyes, Xu Xia really believed it. Chen Hao was a boy toy! Yang Hui was afraid that Chen Hao would be the target of ridicule by the crowd again, hence he quickly stopped Xu Xia from spouting nonsense! ¡°Hmph, Yifan, I am not lying to you. A few hundred thousand and he was squandering it away like it was nothing. Don¡¯t get me started on Chen Hao¡¯s shopping card and the likes. I even think that the 360,000 bag was given to him by another woman!¡± ¡°What''s more, do you know why he''s unting his money? Because he wanted to approach you, Zhao Yifan. He wanted you to pursue him and finally give yourself up willingly to him!¡± Lin Jiao said coldly. If it weren¡¯t for that day, where she personally witnessed Zheng Yue protecting and treating him so nicely, Lin Jiao wouldn¡¯t have believed that Chen Hao was a boy toy. However, she believed it now! Chen Hao was such a cunning person. ¡°What?¡± Zhao Yifan was so startled by those words that her face went pale. All the girls looked at each other. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. I can¡¯t believe Chen Hao has been keeping in touch with so many women behind us. I really can¡¯t believe this. I thought that he was an honest and reserved person!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. But if you think about it, we were really dumb. If Chen Hao was a rich second generation heir, then would he still act like this? He would have been able to get any girl he wanted!¡± ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. If he was a boy toy, then everything makes perfect sense. I think this is how Chen Hao became somebody¡¯s boy toy. He made them believe that he was an innocent and pitiful person when actually he is such a scumbag. Jerk!¡± The girls¡¯ gazes changed immediately. Haha! Chen Hao was smiling bitterly in his heart. He was surprised. And there were two reasons behind it. Firstly, he never expected that Lin Jiao and Zhao Yifan were paying such close attention to him. In addition to that, Lin Jiao was also putting in a lot of effort to investigate him. It seemed that they were reluctant to ept the fact that the person that they had looked down upon could suddenly be rich overnight. Secondly, Chen Hao was really surprised by Lin Jiao¡¯s reasoning ability. Lin Jiao could actually put together a few simple incidents into a believable story. Chen Hao also wanted to exin himself. Zheng Yue was only a staff member of Hot Spring Vi, whereas Lin Yiyi was his subordinate¡¯s daughter. As for the person who gave him that VIP card to buy the bag, that would be his sister. However, he could not exin this to them. Lin Jiao definitely would not believe him. In addition to ridiculing him, his sister would be at the receiving end as well. If someone were to insult his sister, Chen Hao would definitely not tolerate it. However, it was his best friend, Yang Hui¡¯s girlfriend¡¯s birthday party. He wasn¡¯t in any position to say or do anything! Hence, Chen Hao was really at a loss. After giving it much thought, he thought that it would be better to forget about it for now. When he got his driving license tomorrow, there shouldn¡¯t be a problem then! Because he had decided to tell them everything! ¡°You can think whatever you want of me. I know I''ve done nothing wrong." Chen Hao answered indifferently. In the eyes of the people, his words meant that he had silently agreed to their statement. Bang! Zhao Yifan was so angry that she kicked the stool behind her. Yes, she had undoubtedly be the biggest joke of the day again! She did have a good impression of Chen Hao because he was a really nice person. She felt that he was an honest person and that he had an extraordinary background. It seemed that she could give this rtionship a try. Because of this, Zhao Yifan did not mind taking the initiative. She wanted to attract his attention again. But in the end, it was¡­ Oh my God, she did not want to speak about it again! ¡°Xu Xia, I am going to the washroom!¡± She recovered from her shock and made an excuse to leave. Lin Jiao followed behind as she was worried about her. After all, she was somewhat responsible for Zhao Yifan¡¯s reaction. Nobody spoke in the private room. The silence hung in the air for more than 10 minutes. In the end, it was Yang Hui who broke the silence. ¡°No matter what everybody thinks, I know in my heart that Chen Hao is not that kind of person!¡± What he said to Xu Xia before was merely a joke between a couple. He never expected that Xu Xia would take it seriously and blurt it all out. ¡°Yes, I believe him too!¡± Li Rui also nodded his head in the direction of Chen Hao. ¡°Come, let us toast to this asion!¡± Yang Hui suggested. In the end, other than Chen Hao¡¯s roommates, none of them raised their sses. Chen Hao felt embarrassed. He made Zhao Yifan leave in anger and now this. He had ruined a good birthday party. Speaking of it, all of these issues were caused by him. If he were to stay on any longer, he was afraid that it would cause Yang Hui and Xu Xia more inconvenience. If he knew that earlier, he would not havee! Chen Hao prepared to leave. However at this moment, the doors of the private room suddenly flew open. It was Lin Jiao and she seemed to be in a panic. She was even covering her face. ¡°Xu Nan, I was beaten up by somebody. They are dragging Yifan away now saying that they want her to apany them for a drink!¡± ¡°What?¡± Xu Nan was stunned. His girlfriend was beaten up? This was an utter humiliation! He quickly cast his gaze toward Xu Chao. Xu Chao said coldly, ¡°Let¡¯s see who dares to act so brazenly in this ce. Doesn¡¯t he want to live anymore?!¡± Both of them stood up in that instant. They had one hand in their pockets as they walked out. Yang Hui and Chen Hao hurried out as soon as they heard that something had happened. After they heard Lin Jiao¡¯s exnation, only then did Chen Hao know what happened. Lin Jiao had followed Zhao Yifan into the washroom. After that, when they were washing their hands, they happened to bump into several young guys who entered the women¡¯s washroom. They saw that Lin Jiao and Yi Fan were the beauties amongst the beauties. Especially Lin Jiao who was looking very sexy in that outfit. A guy who obviously had too much to drink wanted her WeChat ID, and even started to act inappropriately. Zhao Yifan was so pissed that she pped that guy. Lin Jiao even smacked that guy in the head! Immediately after that, he returned the favor. That guy was acting rashly without thinking back then. They called a few people over and stopped Zhao Yifan from leaving, wanting Zhao Yifan to apany them for a drink. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Lin Jiao yelled with all her might and came running back here. By the time Chen Hao and the rest caught up to them, both parties were having a face-off. There were four people in total who wanted Zhao Yifan to drink with them. All of them looked young, and they looked about the same age. Xu Chao was on the phone, presumably calling for back-up. Lin Jiao was scolding away while pointing at the four guys. Zhao Yifan was not beaten, but the events that transpired today made her feel extremely depressed. ¡°An eye for an eye. Now that you guys have beaten my cousin''s girlfriend, don¡¯t think that you can get away with it!¡± After Xu Chao finished his calls, he shouted out arrogantly. He was familiar with this territory and he was quite close with the boss of this vi. The clothings of the four guys weren''t too shabby. They were quite unconvinced at this moment and wanted to see what Xu Chao would do to them. Screech¡ª Not long after that, several vans could be seen stopping at the entrance. From the van, a dozen muscr guys with buzz cuts got out. The vi was instantly filled with people¡­ Chapter 64 Chen Hao Felt Distressed Chapter 64 Chen Hao Felt Distressed Xu Chao did have some influence. Approximately 20 people came, and the four students were shocked. They were rendered speechless. p! Lin Jiao went up to them and gave all four of them a p in the face respectively. They were very angry but they didn''t dare to speak. ¡°What are you looking at? How dare you hit me?! I will let you know that you have crossed the wrong woman today!¡± ¡°How dare you hit me? If you hit me today, you just sit back and wait!¡± The leader of the gang, who happened to be the guy who was teasing Lin Jiao and Zhao Yifan just now, covered his face and spoke in an aggrieved manner. He was scared out of his wits but he still felt angry. He rarely failed to pick up a girl. Unexpectedly, he was pped first by this beautiful girl and then beaten up by the other sexy girl. This was a once-in-a-lifetime humiliation! ¡°F*ck, how dare he talk back?! Beat him up!¡± Xu Chao was really enjoying himself at the moment. One wave of his hand and all the men gathered around the four guys. They were beaten to a pulp. Xu Nan was amongst them. He even kicked them a few times. The four of them covered their heads and cowered in fear. Finally, they managed to escape after the boss forcefully yanked them apart from each other. If they continued any further, somebody would have died! ¡°Wow, Xu Chao is so powerful!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe it. I have always thought that Xu Chao was a mature and steady person. I did not expect N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. to see this side of him!¡± ¡°He is so impressive and handsome!¡± All the girls instantly became his fans. Those who did well in society would greatly increase the sense of security of these female students. That was their current perception. ¡°Xu Chao, thank you for today!¡± In reality, Zhao Yifan was really delighted. The depressing feeling she had just now was gone in an instant. To be honest, she had always loved a mature and steady man. But now, she felt that an arrogant and despotic person was way better. She felt most secure with this kind of person around. And what about Chen Hao ? Why did she think of him again? At this moment, he looked like a useless person! ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Yi Fan. You can add me on WeChat, and we can always keep in touch if you need anything!¡± Xu Chao smiled and looked at Zhao Yifan. Ever since he saw her, he had thought that she was pretty beyondparison. Looking at her now, he felt that she had be way more beautiful. In reality, as long as a straight guyid his eyes on a beautiful girl like Yi Fan, he would definitely be attracted to her. ¡°Ok, since it¡¯s settled, let us go back and continue our party!¡± Xu Chao chuckled heartily. ¡°Huh? Are we still staying here? Xu Chao, wouldn¡¯t it be better to leave?¡± ¡°She¡¯s right. What if theye back to exact their revenge?¡± some of the girls asked worriedly. ¡°Hmph, who do you think Xu Chao is? So what if theye back for their revenge?¡± Lin Jiao said with pride while applying some makeup on her face. Her makeup was smeared just now when she cried after being beaten. ¡°She is right, why should we be afraid when Xu Chao is here?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back to celebrate Xu Xia¡¯s birthday!¡± Only then did the girls rx. ¡°Erm, Xu Xia, I will get going now. Happy birthday!¡± Chen Hao saw no point in staying there anymore. ¡°Ok, thank you, Chen Hao. I will call you a cab to send you back then!¡± Xu Xia sighed because she did not have any more strength to deal with this. Because of Yang Hui, Xu Xia was close to all the people in Yang Hui¡¯s dorm, including Chen Hao. However, after today¡¯s incident, if Chen Hao were to stay on, he would be put in a difficult position. To be honest, just now Xu Xia was angry that Chen Hao actually lied to them about being a boy toy. That was the reason why she spilled the beans on Chen Hao just now. But now after her anger had dissipated, she pitied him. Perhaps his long standing poverty had forced him to make this mad decision! ¡°It¡¯s ok, I will catch a cab myself!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly while nodding his head. ¡°Get out then! Get out of my sight quickly! I feel disgusted just by looking at you!¡± Lin Jiao cursed unreservedly. At this moment, Zhao Yifan did not utter a single word. She turned around and walked back to the private room. Since that disgusting person had left, naturally there was no reason for her to leave anymore. Chen Hao was walking alone in the campus grounds while thinking about the recent incidents. Humility was part of Chen Hao¡¯s nature. Even if he was rich, he couldn¡¯t act arrogantly or bossily like Bai Xiaofei and the rest of them. Moreover, Chen Hao definitely could not squander money away like that. However, humility has its downsides. Chen Hao had endured so many ridicules and grievances up until now. Should he act more mboyantly next time? Chen Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. At this moment, a message suddenly appeared in the ss¡¯s chat group. It was a post from their tutor Meng Cairu. ¡°My dear students, Yang Xia has dropped out of college due to personal reasons!¡± ¡°What? Yang Xia has dropped out?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. When did this happen?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s because of Lu Chen. Think about it. That incident with Lu Chen left a big impact on her. If she continued to stay in college, she would definitely think it¡¯s humiliating. Hence, her best option was to drop out!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. Yang Xia was a prideful person. First she was with the poor loser¡­¡± Message deleted. ¡°Yes, Yang Xia was indeed a prideful person. First, she got into a rtionship with Chen Hao, then it was Lu Chen. In the end, Lu Chen could not evenpare to Chen Hao. When Lu Chen ran out of money, he took out a loan and pretended to be rich. At least Chen Hao won the lottery!¡±¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s true. If I were Yang Xia, I would be too embarrassed to study here anymore as well. Sigh!¡± The ss¡¯s chat group exploded with messages. All of them were caught up in a heated discussion. It seemed that this result was within everyone¡¯s expectation. On the other hand, Chen Hao was stunned. He felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw the news that Yang Xia had dropped out of college. After all, both of them had spent three years together here. Those beautiful moments were still etched in his memories. To the point where Chen Hao started ming himself. He knew very well why Yang Xia dropped out of college. If he had not provoked Yang Xia the other day at the Vi, she might have continued on with her studies. After all, she was this close to graduation. If he did not utter those heartless words that day, Yang Xia wouldn¡¯t have felt so discouraged. Thinking of the desperate gaze Yang Xia gave him that day, Chen Hao felt stabbing pain in his heart. Were his insults too much for her to bear? Chen Hao started ming himself and regretting his actions. He subconsciously walked around and came to the campuskeside. This was the location of their first date. Chen Hao was poor at that time, hence he couldn¡¯t afford to go on a date in a cafe. He still remembered he waste that day and Yang Xia was already waiting for him for at least 10 minutes. However, she did not me him. They held each other¡¯s hands and took a walk around theke. They continued walking one round after the other. More often than not, they weren¡¯t chatting with each other. They remained silent instead. None of them spoke but they kept looking at each other intermittently. It was different from what was portrayed on television. However, Chen Hao felt the taste of love. Chen Hao remembered vividly that they had promised to wait till the day of their graduation to get married. Then, they woulde to thiskeside to take their wedding picture! How wonderful it was at that time! However, after some subsequent experiences, Yang Xia had changed and so did Chen Hao. Chen Hao did not know whether to feel sorry for Yang Xia of the past or the current Yang Xia. In short, he felt awful. Finally, Chen Hao decided to call Yang Xia to advise her. However, the number he had dialed wasn¡¯t in use anymore. Apparently, the phone number had been cancelled by Yang Xia. He couldn¡¯t even get a hold of her through her QQ and WeChat. She¡¯s really gone! Chen Hao sat down by thekeside. He looked lost. At this moment, he got a phone call from a QQ number. Chen Hao immediately picked up his phone and took a look. It was a phone call from Yang Xia¡¯s roommate, Han Siyu. ¡°Where are you?¡± Han Siyu¡¯s tone was cold. However, Chen Hao thought she had always sounded like that. ¡°I am at thekeside¡­¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Ok, wait for me there. Before Yang Xia left, she asked me to give you a message. She wanted me to say this in front of you!¡± Chapter 65 The Live Streaming Assistant Chapter 65 The Live Streaming Assistant Han Siyu soon came to thekeside. She was wearing a short skirt. With her shoulder-length hair and bright fair skin, she really looked like a beautiful inte celebrity. However, unlike some inte celebrities, Han Siyu was a natural born beauty. Of course Chen Hao had seen her barefaced before. She was definitely the cream of the crop. Han Siyu had sat in front of Chen Hao at the beginning of the freshman year. Speaking of this, it was quite embarrassing. Chen Hao used to secretly have a crush on Han Siyu! It was a pity thatpared with other girls, Han Siyu''s standards couldn¡¯t be higher. Lu Chen was considered rich and wealthy, and Wang Yang also pursued Han Siyu before, but they were both ignored! Chen Hao was obviously out of the question. ¡°Haha, it feels quite carefree sitting by theke alone! Yang Xia asked me to send you a message!¡± Han Siyu said coldly, crossing her arms. ¡°What did she say?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°She said that she woulde back sooner orter, and that she would embarrass you, Chen Hao. Just wait and see!¡± Chen Hao lowered his head. This time, Yang Xia was really upset. I bet she hates me to the core. Maybe it''s better this way. Yang Xia will probably not do any more bad things in the future. In other words, she would be ok, and that¡¯s good enough! ¡°Oh!¡± Chen Hao answered. ¡°Oh! It seems that you chased Yang Xia away. How did you embarrass her? ¡° Han Siyu scanned Chen Hao from head and toe. Even if Chen Hao had won the lottery, he was still not up to Han Siyu¡¯s standard. ¡°Nothing!¡± Chen Hao felt like a mess. Besides, it wasn¡¯t wise to talk about everything that had happened that day, let alone to Han Siyu. This person would definitely make this affair into a joke and broadcast it live. She always did this kind of thing. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to tell me. Anyway, I have already brought Yang Xia¡¯s message to you!¡± With a snort, Han Siyu turned and left. Although she and Yang Xia were roommates, they were not close after all. Because Yang Xia was also very beautiful, thus they were fiercelypetitive. But now that Yang Xia was gone, Han Siyu was actually relieved. Han Siyu had kept her promise to Yang Xia. Chen Hao continued to stay by theke. He felt very tired. He put his hands behind his head andid down. The silence around Chen Hao calmed him. Suddenly, there were footsteps. Somebody was blocking the light. He could see a shadow in front of him. It was standing a meter away. Chen Hao raised his head slightly. He was stunned. "Haha, Chen Hao, since you are free, I need you to do something for me!" The person who came back was obviously Han Siyu. Chen Hao was stunned because he was lying down whereas Han Shiyu was standing. She was wearing a mini skirt. Chen Hao saw everything that should not be seen. ck! ¡°My God!¡± Chen Hao''s face was as red as an apple. He quickly got up. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Haha, what a loser. You¡¯ve won some money from the lottery but you don¡¯t behave like someone rich. It¡¯s like you haven''t seen a girl before! Well, did nothing happen between you and Yang Xia after going out for 3 years? Look at how naive you are! I know the answer even if you didn¡¯t tell me!¡± Han Siyu said scornfully. She knew why Chen Hao blushed, but Han Siyu was very open-minded. She didn¡¯t care about these things. She just looked down upon Chen Hao. ¡°I want you to do me a favor. Some female broadcasters of our guild wille to the campuster. We are having live streaming outdoors together, and I need someone to help me record the live broadcast. You do it!¡± Han Siyu said, then passed her iPhone to Chen Hao. There were all kinds of equipment on the mobile phone. There were additional cameras, audio receivers and other necessary equipment for outdoor live broadcasts. Chen Hao had a hard time deciding whether to go or not. After all, Han Siyu had helped his ex-girlfriend, and now she had given the equipment to him. He would N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. be a bit sorry if he turned her down. God knew how a live broadcast was rted to helping his ex-girlfriend. Anyhow, Chen Hao didn''t refuse her. He followed Han Siyu. As for Han Siyu''s attitude of looking down on himself, he would just ignore it. Chen Hao didn¡¯t have any feelings toward Han Siyu now. What was the point of getting involved with her anyway? On the way, Han Siyu was walking in front and Chen Hao was walking at the back. ¡°Han Siyu, when did you sign into the guild?¡± Chen Hao started chatting with her, mainly because he was bold enough to talk to girls now. ¡°Some time ago. Didn''t you watch my livestream?¡± Siyu asked coldly. ¡°Which one?¡± "You didn''t watch?! I meant that livestream when a rich guy with the ID ''Ordinary Guy'' sent me 20,000 worth of gifts. The ie I got on that day was more than 10,000 after deducting themision. My chat room was also promoted on the homepage, so the guild asked me to sign a contract. It is a rather strong guild! " ¡°Oh! So that¡¯s the case! Congrattions!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t understand anything about live streaming. But he understood that the reason she had signed with the guild had something to do with him being generous in her livestream that night. Chen Hao just recalled that he had topped up 100,000 in the live streaming app that night just to fight with Lu Chen and Xu Nan. In the end, two of them backed down after he had sent 20,000 worth of gifts. It was such a waste to top up 100,000! There was a park not far away from the school. Their outdoor live streaming venue was here. This was the ce where couples and lovers liked toe to hang out. ¡°Siyu, we are here!¡± There were three or four youthful broadcasting beauties dressed like online celebrities who waved at Han Siyu. Naturally, they all brought assistants. There was one that came in a SUV. Chen Hao was very familiar with the park. Why was it so familiar? Because Chen Hao''s Lamborghini was parked here. What a coincidence that the SUV was parked near to his Lamborghini. However, the parking spaces on both sides of the car were all empty. Obviously, no one was willing to park next to the Lamborghini. There were many people gathered here. He didn''t expect that many girls would stille to take photos of the Lamborghini after so many days. ¡°You''re so early!¡± Han Siyu¡¯s serious tone was reced with a cheerful one. At the same time, she gave an unusual nce at the Lamborghini. The glory of this luxury car had brought a great impact to every girl and boy. Unfortunately, after so many days, no one knew whose car it was. Many girls were really anxious! ¡°Yes, Siyu, we came early. Oh right, who owns this sports car?¡± the broadcasters also came over and asked in surprise. ¡°I don''t know. To be honest, up till now, nobody knows who this car belongs to! Why? Are you all interested to know the car owner? I heard that the owner of the car is a young master thates from a rich family!¡± Siyuughed and said. ¡°Wow! I really want to know such a rich guy if I have the chance. If I can get to know him, I don''t need to do any live streaming anymore. I can just go sightseeing in the car every day! ¡± ¡°Hmph, nympho, if I can be the girlfriend of this heir, I will establish a live streaming guild myself. I would generously send lots of gifts and I don''t have to beg the rich heirs for presents anymore!¡± ¡°Just look at all of you!¡± Han Siyu smiled bitterly. Although it was just a joke, Han Siyu had also imagined herself as the girlfriend of this rich guy! ¡°Haha, stop dreaming! By the way, Siyu, we will need an assistant for the broadcastter. Why didn''t you bring one?¡± a beautiful broadcaster asked curiously. ¡°Of course I did! Come here, Chen Hao!¡± Han Siyu pointed at Chen Hao who was holding a tripod stand at the side. Chapter 66 Here Comes The Trouble Chapter 66 Here Comes The Trouble ¡°Huh? Siyu, he¡¯s the assistant you found?¡± Three of the female broadcasters were a little confused. Although Chen Hao had delicate features, the way he dressed up made him look really frumpy. Compared to him, the assistants they found could be considered as pretty boys who dressed up brightly and smartly. One of them was also a suitor of one of the broadcasters. He drove his SUV here to attract her attention. The contrast was too obvious. After all, it was an outdoor live streaming. People would judge them based on their appearance. Now that there was an old-fashioned nerd following them, he would definitely downgrade their status! ¡°Yes, I couldn¡¯t find an assistant in time so I had no choice but to grab one of our ssmates to help out!¡± Han Siyu felt her face burning in embarrassment. It was so humiliating. ¡°Haha, he can just help us carry our stuff at the side. I have no problem at all carrying two phones to shoot the live streaming!¡± At this time, one of the guys looked at Chen Hao and shook his head with a wry smile. Contempt could be sensed in his words. ¡°I think Huang Yan is right. It¡¯s better for him to help us carry our stuff!¡± one of the pretty broadcasters said. ¡°I agree. Chen Hao, pass the phone to Huang Yan. You just have to carry our stuff and follow us from a distance!¡± Han Siyu said in a hurry. Chen Hao was irritated and thought, F*ck, I¡¯m here to help you. I¡¯m not paid to be your runner! But after giving it some thought, he didn¡¯t feel good to back out since he was already here. Sigh, whatever! I don¡¯t care if you look at me with disdain. Carrying the stuff should be quite a simple job for me. ¡°Hello my dear followers! Good evening!¡± ¡°Good evening to all my babies!¡± ¡°I¡¯m your sweetheart! I miss you guys so much!¡± The live streaming had begun. The pretty broadcasters made their introductory remarks. ¡°Huang Yan, quick, point the camera to this luxury car!¡± the girl named Wang Xiaoti who had blond hair called out excitedly. Han Siyu had also moved to the side of the Lamborghini. They were smiling and having fun. Chen Hao was watching at the side. He was bored and took out his phone to enter Han Siyu¡¯s live streaming room. Unexpectedly, the poprity of her live streaming chat room was quite high. Thements were surfacing rapidly in the chat room. ¡°My God, what model is this?¡± ¡°It''s a Lamborghini Revent¨®n with the most luxurious car specifications! It cost more than 18 million!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! The interior design of this car is absolutely world-ss! Can we have a look at the interior?¡± ¡°Damn, full view of the car please. Let us have a full view of it!¡± ¡°Whose car is this? Probably a rich heir!¡± ¡°What a cool sports car! Vroom vroom vroom!¡± Thements kepting. The four live streaming chat rooms were lively. At this moment, no one was looking at the pretty broadcasters anymore. Their attention was all on the car. Han Siyu and the other girls were trying their best to ask for presents while meeting their fans¡¯ requests. They let them have a look at the car from every angle. The presents they received were overwhelming. There was a rich guy in Han Siyu¡¯s chat room who sent her a present worth 6,000! It pushed the poprity of the chat room to the peak. ¡°Thank you Mr. Jiang Jiu! I love you, hugs and kisses!¡± The live streaming continued on. Soon, one hour had passed. Four of the girls stopped moving around. They just continued their live streaming beside the Lamborghini. All of them had attracted quite a number of audiences to their chat rooms. ¡°Oh, you guys are not caring at all. Your baby is going to take a break now!¡± More fans entered their chat rooms and requested to look at the car. Raising their voices to interact with the audience in the chat room made Han Siyu and the others exhausted. ¡°My darling, let me have a sip of water before I continue the live streaming for you!¡± ¡°Xiaoti, do you have water?¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t bring any. Cough, go and buy some. My throat is dry!¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m thirsty too! I feel like having some watermelon!¡± The girls said yfully. ¡°Alright then, Chen Hao, go buy some water and a watermelon. Hurry up!¡± Han Siyu ordered, pointing at Chen Hao. Chen Hao was frustrated. They are really taking my help for granted! Sigh, but to be honest, I¡¯m thirsty and feel like eating watermelon too after all this hauling. Chen Hao had no choice but to go buy them. He bought a dozen bottles of mineral water, a big watermelon and a knife to cut the watermelon. Chen Hao was worn out by the time he got back as he was lugging the equipment with him. Han Siyu and the others were still shooting their livestream. They were streaming the full view of the car from afar. ¡°Chen Hao, cut the watermelon quickly! My god! Why did you buy a whole watermelon? You idiot, why didn¡¯t you ask the seller to cut them into pieces before you brought them back? I¡¯m speechless!¡± Wang Xiaoti said rudely, obviously not showing him any respect. F*ck, if it weren''t for you making haste of eating the watermelon, I would have just waited for the seller to cut it. B*tches! Chen Hao cursed silently. Looks like I have to cut the watermelon myself. Where should I cut it? It couldn¡¯t be on the floor right? Hmm¡­ Oh right! I can cut it on the bo which can serve as a table. Anyway, the paint of this Revent¨®n would not be chipped off easily. Chen Hao walked toward the car. Bang! He tossed the mineral water bottles on the Lamborghini¡¯s bo. After that, he put the watermelon in ce and gave it a sharp cut. Han Siyu and the other broadcasters werepletely stunned when they saw the scene. Their live streamings were stopped halfway. Many pretty girls who came to take photos with the car also gaped in surprise! F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! Everyone was cursing silently! This dude was cutting a watermelon on the Lamborghini¡¯s bo? ¡°Chen Hao, are you f*cking insane!¡± ¡°Oh my god! Take them away now!¡± Han Siyu¡¯s face turned pale in terror. She quickly ordered him. I¡¯m pretty sure that Chen Hao is an idiot! If the cut leaves a big scratch on the Lamborghini, I wouldn¡¯t be able to afford to pay for the damages even if I do live streams for my whole life! ¡°You moron! You did it purposely to put us in trouble, didn¡¯t you?¡± Wang Xiaoti, Huang Yan and the others were stunned. The fans in the live streaming chat room were also making a fuss about it. They were talking about how much they would have to pay for the damage, probably one or two million. ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take them off the bo now! Clean it up! You won¡¯t be able to bear the consequence if someone found out!¡± Han Siyu really regretted asking Chen Hao for help. I could have just hired an assistant if I couldn¡¯t find anyone. Why did I even bring him here? Why?! ¡°Oh, it¡¯s okay. I can¡¯t do anything if it really leaves a scratch.¡± Chen Hao smiled wryly. Even though there was a scratch, it was left by no one else but himself. There was nothing to be worried about. ¡°What do you mean by you can¡¯t do anything if it really leaves a scratch? Get all the things down now!¡± Han Siyu stomped her foot in rage. Chen Hao had no choice but to follow her words and take the watermelon and the mineral water bottle down. He was thinking that they could enjoy the watermelon by having it on the bo. This way, they didn¡¯t have to squat. Howfortable it would be. It seems like I was too considerate. Han Siyu came forward and pushed Chen Hao aside. She used her wet tissue to wipe the bo carefully. After making sure that there weren''t any scratches, only then did she feel relieved. ¡°Siyu, Is this loser your ssmate? It¡¯s better to ask him to leave. That was a close call just now!¡± Huang Yan said scornfully. The SUV beside them belonged to Huang Yan. His family was quite rich. He disliked Chen Hao as soon as he saw him. Now this idiot had almost scratched the luxury car, it almost made him break out in cold sweat. He was annoyed by him. ¡°That¡¯s right. Chen Hao, you can go back now. I really regret asking you to be my assistant!¡± Han Siyu said rudely. ¡°Oh, then I¡¯ll take this mineral water bottle with me!¡± Chen Hao left after taking a mineral water bottle with him. It would have been very simple to make them lose their dignities. He had thought about taking out his car key and unlocking the car in front of them. However, it was like putting up a show if he did this in front of the audiences in SameCity Live Streaming App. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Moreover, he didn''t really want to buy such an expensive car initially. It was all because of his sister. Thus, Chen Hao left happily. He didn¡¯t want to have too much interaction with Han Siyu anyway. He didn¡¯t go to any other ces. He went back to his dormitory straightaway and emptied the whole bottle of water. Then, hey on the bed and took a rest. After a few moments, Yang Hui and the others came back. ¡°You¡¯re back so soon! How was the birthday party with Xu Xia today? Did you have fun?¡± Chen Hao asked with a smile. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re here! Let¡¯s go to Xu Xia¡¯s dormitory together now!¡± After they came back, Yang Hui, Li Rui and the rest were busy looking for their wallets, checking their money and making phone calls. They looked anxious. ¡°Huh? What happened?¡± ¡°Damn, don¡¯t mention it! Zhao Yifan is in trouble!¡± Chapter 67 Chen Hao, How Dare You Show Up? Chapter 67 Chen Hao, How Dare You Show Up? What could have happened to Zhao Yifan? Chen Hao was shocked, but since Yang Hui asked him to apany him to Xu Xia¡¯s dorm together, it would be inappropriate to reject. Chen Hao was also keen to check up on Zhao Yifan. Even though he was slightly touched by this girl previously, she gave him a cold shoulder after he was vilified by Lin Jiao. Nevertheless, they were friends for a short time. This was actually just an excuse he made up. Although he pretended that he was indifferent to Zhao Yifan, as a normal male, he could not really cast a beautiful girl aside. In Zhao Yifan¡¯s dorm. Chen Hao, Yang Hui and the other four entered the dorm after they signed their names at the entrance. When they came in, they saw Zhao Yifan crying desperately on her bed. At the same time, Lin Jiao was also crying her eyes out. Lin Jiao¡¯s face was ashen and she seemed like she was terrified. ¡°Yifan and Lin Jiao, we came to see you!¡± Yang Hui said. On the way there, Chen Hao was told about the ins and outs of the story. The four people who were beaten at the vi turned out to be someone prestigious. One of them was even from a tycoon¡¯s family in Jin Ling City. The family business of that young man was almost asrge as Jin Ling Commercial Group. Who was he? He was Xu Wei, and his father was Xu Haishan. His father ran a business of real estate, and was one of the tycoons in Jin Ling. That day was a coincidence. Xu Wei had always been humble and kept a low profile although he was from a rich family. He went to the vi to have a drink with a few friends. They were drunk when they saw Lin Jiao and Zhao Yifan, who were extraordinarily stunning, and so they could not restrain themselves from taking liberties with the girls. It was out of their expectations that they would be beaten up violently twice until they were bleeding profusely. When they returned home, Xu Wei reported this incident. The entire family was shaken up. Even though they did not take revenge on the people involved, Xu Nan, Xu Chao, Lin Jiao and Zhao Yifan¡¯s families had been warned through different ways. Xu Chao¡¯s family had apany but they found out that the supplies of goods had been cut off today. The same tribtion happened to Zhao Yifan, whose family had apany as well. Lin Jiao and Xu Nan¡¯s parents had also been warned and threatened. Xu Wei¡¯s family was sending a message¡ªno one was allowed to offend them, otherwise they would face severe punishments. In short, Zhao Yifan and the rest were terrified because Xu Wei had imed that he would destroy their family fortunes within a month! ¡°What should I do? What should I do? My father contacted all his connections but it was useless!¡± Zhao Yifan was bawling unceasingly, let alone Lin Jiao, whose parents wereid off immediately. ¡°Yifan, even Xu Nan and Xu Chao couldn¡¯t help?¡± Yang Hui looked at them helplessly. He could only talk to them hoping to offer somefort. ¡°Sigh, what can they do? I heard that Xu Chao and Xu Nan went to Xu Wei¡¯spany to beg for forgiveness. They even kneeled but they were hustled out by the guards.¡± ¡°This problem is very serious. I even heard that Xu Nan pped himself several times in front of them, but his effort was in vain,¡± a girl in the same dorm added anxiously. Upon listening to them, Zhao Yifan wailed even louder. Including Lin Jiao, their pride from before had vanishedpletely. ¡°Why don¡¯t we report to the police?¡± Li Rui scratched his head. Who had not heard of the Xu Family in Jin Ling College? They were one of the most powerful families around here. No one could challenge them. Zhao Yifan shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s useless. Besides, we were the one who beat them, and they didn¡¯t hit us back. If we go to the police, we will be at fault instead!¡± Everyone realized that she was right. ¡°Don¡¯t give up, there must be some way to tackle this problem!¡± Chen Hao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly interrupted them. He did not have any ideas but he had to try for the sake of Yang Hui and Xu Xia. After all, it was during Xu Xia¡¯s birthday party when the incident happened. Chen Hao nned to seek Li Zhenguo¡¯s help. Perhaps he could offer some useful suggestions. ¡°Why are you here? You *sshole! Who gave you the courage toe here? How dare you show up?!¡± Li. Jiao exploded in anger when she heard Chen Hao. She taunted and cursed him. Who was the root cause of this entire trouble? It was because of you, a pretty-faced poor loser! If it weren¡¯t for you, Yifan wouldn¡¯t have felt embarrassed and fled to the restroom! If Yifan hadn''t gone to the restroom, I wouldn¡¯t have followed her to the restroom either! If we hadn¡¯t wandered around, we wouldn¡¯t have met with Xu Wei, who was from a powerful family. You are the culprit, Chen Hao! How dare you show up? Lin Jiao jumped down from the bed and raised her hand at Chen Hao. She couldn¡¯t conceal her hatred against this scum! p! Unexpectedly, the sound did not sound like a p on Chen Hao¡¯s face. Her hand was seized by Chen Hao in mid air. ¡°Lin Jiao, enough!¡± Chen Hao pushed her to the floor. Chen Hao''s temper had always been good, but that did not mean he did not have one. He had been humiliated by this girl several times, and she even gave him a few ps. Yang Xia was his ex-girlfriend and it was reasonable that he just could not be ruthless and hit her back. But who was Lin Jiao to him? Chen Hao could not hold his anger in anymore. ¡°What?! How dare you hit me?¡± Lin Jiao lost her mind. She sat on the floor and bawled with her swollen eyes. ¡°Alright! Alright!¡± Xu Xia quicklyforted Lin Jiao. Zhao Yifan nced at Chen Hao and sneered. ¡°Chen Hao, I knew you came to humiliate us!¡± Zhao Yifan felt that her detestation of Chen Hao had roused, but she did not act like Lin Jiao. ¡°Yifan and Lin Jiao, Chen Hao did note to humiliate both of you. He came to check on you after he heard that you were in trouble!¡± Yang Hui spoke up for Chen Hao as he could not stand Chen Hao being misunderstood anymore. ¡°There is no reason for him toe other than to humiliate us! He must hate us because I found out that he was a gigolo! I know him too well. To be honest, I even wanted to pursue him in the past!¡± Lin Jiao jumped in anger and ranted. She had indeed tried to figure out Chen Hao¡¯s past in detail in order to pursue him. Lin Jiao wanted to hit Chen Hao again. At this moment, Zhao Yifan¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Dad, how is it? What did the important person whom you seeked for say?¡± Zhao Yifan asked anxiously. Lin Jiao settled down and listened to their conversation attentively. At this stage, Zhao Yifan¡¯s family connection was their only hope. ¡°Don¡¯t be upset, Dad. He must be really busy and didn¡¯t have time for us. Don¡¯t overthink. Alright, I¡¯m still in my dorm, and my friends came to visit me. I¡¯m not hungry. No, I haven''t eaten... I¡¯ve lost my appetite. What? Alright, I¡¯ll ask them¡­¡± Zhao Yifan hung up her phone. She said disappointedly, ¡°My dad went to a restaurant to seek for a person¡¯s help hoping that he would speak for us, but that person declined because he was too busy. Now my dad is asking me to go to that restaurant to have a meal since he ordered a table of dishes and he was not allowed to cancel the order. Let¡¯s go there together. All of you have been apanying me for the whole afternoon.¡± She then looked at Yang Hui and the rest. ¡°Yang Hui, all of you shoulde along. Sigh, continuously worrying won¡¯t help. At the worst, I¡¯ll beg for Xu Wei¡¯s forgiveness tomorrow!¡± ¡°You mean...?¡± Xu Xia understood what Zhao Yifan meant. She wanted to stop her, but she could not offer any help either. What else could they do? The girls went downstairs. Zhao Yifan was desperate at the moment. All she wanted to do now was to be at her father¡¯s side. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Lin Jiao and the others were willing to apany her as well. They felt more secure to have an adult beside them. After all, an adult would have more experiences and resources than the youngsters like them. Yang Hui could not turn down the invitation and went along with them. Chen Hao did not back away as usual this time. He followed them silently. Since he met with this problem today, he had no excuse to ignore it. Chapter 68 What Kind Of Person Is This Chapter 68 What Kind Of Person Is This Zhao Yifan¡¯s family ran a technologypany. Their annual profit was estimated at 6 to 7 million. It was moderately high. The venue of the restaurant was in a deluxe hotel. When Chen Hao and the rest arrived, varieties of fancy dishes were already served on the table. Unfortunately, the actual guest did not turn up. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. ¡°Yifan, you came!¡± Zhao Gang forced a smile while standing up to wee them. His daughter had gotten into such tremendous trouble, and even hispany was implicated. Just as Xu Wei imed, hispany might probably go bankrupt within a month. A few decades of his painstaking effort would be destroyed in a sh but he could only try to cheer up. ¡°Hi, Uncle and Aunt!¡± They greeted Yi Fan¡¯s parents. ¡°Yifan, I wanted to ask you about your ssmate. Didn¡¯t you mention that there''s this one ssmate of yours who is from a prestigious background and has great connections? Is he here today?¡± Zhao Gang recalled that his daughter had told him about her ssmate who had connections with Hot Spring Vi a few days ago. Hence, Zhao Gang raised this question. If that ssmate could lend a helping hand, this trouble might be tackled easily. ¡°He came. But Dad, it isn¡¯t what we thought. What I told you about his connectionsst time was not urate¡­¡± Zhao Yifan said indifferently. She did not even express clearly if she allowed Chen Hao toe along with them today. ¡°Yifan, why did you show consideration for his feelings? Uncle, we had mistaken Chen Hao as someone prestigious who had extensive connections previously, butter, we found out it was a lie. He¡¯s just a gigolo who is bought off by several women, and that¡¯s why he can enter the vi freely!¡± ¡°He appeared as someone powerful, but he is just a coward. His lovers will never help us because of him!¡± Lin Jiao stood up and cursed, but she regretted it right away. Something isn¡¯t right! Wait, I''vepletely forgotten about Chen Hao. If I am not mistaken, he made Li Feihong give in to them previously. That means Chen Hao has extensive connections. If he can seek help from his lover, maybe they can get out of this trouble! Sigh! Lin Jiao just realized Chen Hao could be useful. Chen Hao was not the rich heir from a prestigious family she had imagined. She had high expectations of him, but he had let her down. Because of this, Lin Jiao had been juggling several intense moods and hadpletely ignored this fact. ¡°I see!¡± Zhao Gang and his wife were disappointed when they heard this news. This was their first encounter with Chen Hao, and they could not believe that a refined boy would have such a filthy life. How did their beautiful daughtere to be friends with this kind of person? Abhorrence creeped up on Zhao Gang and his wife¡¯s faces. Chen Hao sat quietly without uttering a word. He turned the turntable and devoured the food. The dishes were delicious, and Chen Hao was starving. Looking at this scene, Zhao Gang and his wife were even more disgusted. ¡°If you are hungry, why don¡¯t you order a bowl of white rice toplement the vegetables?¡± Zhao Yifan¡¯s mother was a tall and stunning woman. She looked like she was in her twenties even though she was almost forty. Herplexion was glowingly fair. At this moment, she crossed her arms and sneered. She was mocking Chen Hao when she said white rice, which was actually in rice. ¡°Absolutely! Why don¡¯t you just eat in rice! Are you nuts? Don¡¯t you know what the current situation is? How can you just focus on eating?¡± ¡°Why did he even follow us here? He¡¯s just a useless guy who only knows how to get free meals. Although he is bought off, he can¡¯t conceal the poorness in his soul. He will just try to get everything for free!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand what were the women thinking when they chose him to be a gigolo!¡± Lin Jiao and the other girls taunted him. Chen Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. Go ahead and taunt me as you wish. Sooner orter, there wille a time when you will cry in regret. nk! The door suddenly opened. A young man dressed in western suit and leather shoes opened the door and walked in. He was around 27 and was dressed tidily. When he came in, Zhao Gang and his wife stood up respectfully. ¡°Xiao Yan, what did Director Zhao say about this situation?¡± This young man was the secretary of Director Zhao. He was also the son of Zhao Gang¡¯s wife¡¯s cousin brother. They were distant rtives. Zhao Yifan was also his distant cousin. Zhao Gang asked for his help to utilize his connection with Director Zhao, hoping that they could prevent hispany from bankruptcy. Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m sorry I couldn¡¯t help. Director Zhao is also in this restaurant. I thought he would ept your invitation, but unfortunately, Director Zhao has to meet with another important guest. His schedule is packed. I informed you earlier that it would be useless to wait for him here!¡± ¡°I know that Director Zhao will not show up, but Xiao Yan, is it possible for us to meet him upstairs? At least I can propose a toast to express our respect and regards!¡± Zhao Gang pulled out a miserable face. He knew that it was impolite but he was desperate. If he failed to seek help from Director Zhao, he might as well wait for his doom¡¯s day since he offended a tycoon of Jin Ling. Thus, Zhao Gang was putting up ast-ditch struggle. ¡°Yes, Xiao Yan. Please help us if you can, we would be extremely grateful!¡± Under such circumstances, even Zhao Yifan had to put down her pride and beg for Xiao Yan¡¯s help. Xiao Yan could only sigh. ¡°Aunt, Uncle, I understand how you feel, but I really can¡¯t make it work. Perhaps I¡¯ll arrange for another meeting if Director Zhao has the time.¡± Although Xiao Yan suggested another way, they knew there would not be another chance if they failed to meet Director Zhao today. Zhao Gang figured out that Director Zhao was just using his packed schedule as an excuse to decline their request. After all, the trouble they had gotten into was too serious. No one would be willing to oppose the Xu Family. Theirst hope went up in smoke. All of them were depressed. ¡°The vast horizon is my love, flowers are blooming on the green hill, what rhythm could make it rock, what song could cheer us up!¡± Suddenly, Chen Hao¡¯s ringtone, ¡®Coolest Folk Custom¡¯, rang. Damn! When was the ringtone set? Why was it set to this song? This ssic song of square dancing threw the room into an awkward silence. Zhao Gang even twitched his mouth. Zhao Yifan, Lin Jiao and the rest could not resist ring at Chen Hao in disgust. ¡°What kind of person is this? What a loser!¡± Lin Jiao shouted curtly. Chen Hao answered the call. It was from an unidentified number. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°May I speak to Young Master Chen please?¡± A voice of a middle-age man came from the other end. Chen Hao recognized Huang Weimin¡¯s voice instantly. Huang Weimin was a member of the Business Management Association! ¡°Yes, I¡¯m speaking!¡± ¡°Please pardon my presumptuousness for calling you. Young Master Chen, today we are meeting with the management from each sector. We are nning to discuss the few entertainment venues which you invested in and the location of the new office. It might be too much for me to ask, but if you are free, we would be most grateful and honored to have you here for the discussion!¡± Huang Weimin spoke politely. ¡°Oh, sure!¡± Chen Hao had finished eating and he wanted to go over for the discussion. ¡°That¡¯s great! Young Master Chen, we are in Phoenix Hotel. Where are you now? I shall ask the driver to pick you up.¡± ¡°Phoenix Hotel? I am here at the Phoenix Hotel!¡± Chapter 69 I’ll Be Waiting Chapter 69 I¡¯ll Be Waiting ¡°What a coincidence, Young Master Chen. Since you are having a meal in Phoenix Hotel, I¡¯lle over to you to propose a toast!¡± Cough! When it came to proposing toast, Chen Hao was the one who was supposed to propose a toast to Huang Weimin since Huang Weimin was older. However, since General Director Huang mentioned it first, Chen Hao would just go with it. It was impolite to reject General Director Huang¡¯s suggestion. Hence, Chen Hao told Huang Weimin his room number. At worst, he would just repay by investing more into his business. Chen Hao ended the call. Zhao Gang and the rest were still staring at Chen Hao contemptuously. ¡°I don¡¯t believe someone like him would have any friends in Phoenix Hotel!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so too. He is still pretending!¡± The girls gave a cold scoff. Chen Hao¡¯s impression in their eyes was destroyed. Indeed, you were really rich in the past regardless of where that money came from, whether you were a humble dandy or you won a lottery. It would be beneficial to mingle with you. But now, you are just a pretty-faced gigolo who is bought off by someone. They pamper you with money when you are favored, but once they abandon you, you would be left with nothing! Who will you be then?! Hence, everyone stood on the same side. At this moment, the door opened. Arge group of people of about 30 middle-aged men and elderly who were all dressed in suit and tie appeared at the door with wine sses in their hands. Zhao Gang was dumbfounded by this scene. Even Zhao Yifan and the rest were nervous. What was happening? ¡°D-Director Zhao?¡± ¡°G-General Director Huang?¡± ¡°President Ma and President Li, why are you here?¡± Zhao Gang stuttered. These 20 people before them were all outstanding personages in Jin Ling. Even the General Director of the Business Management Association¡ªHuang Weimin¡ªwas here. Director Zhao, who was regarded as an important person in Zhao Gang¡¯s eyes, was standing at the end of the group, holding his wine ss and smiling. They came to exchange a toast with me? Zhao Gang felt that he was dreaming. ¡°Please, have a seat!¡± Zhao Gang and his wife shouted in excitement. ¡°Sir, thank you for your courtesy, but we¡¯ll be leaving after a toast.¡± Huang Weimin slightly bowed to Zhao Gang as a gesture of respect. This respect was not toward Zhao Gang, but Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen, we came to propose a toast to you!¡± Huang Weimin raised his wine ss and led the group toward Chen Hao in everyone¡¯s astonishment. He then finished off the wine in one gulp. ¡°Young Master Chen, we propose a toast to you as well!¡± Behind Huang Weimin were the president of the present project development and the members of the Business Management Association. They raised their sses and swigged the wine. Chen Hao was stunned. He thought Huang Weimin woulde alone, and he even wanted to request for Huang Weimin¡¯s aid for Zhao Yifan¡¯s trouble. However, Chen Hao was astounded that they came in arge group. Despite his surprise, he kept his manners. He drank the wine to show his respect in return. This scene left Zhao Gang in extreme shock. Zhao Yifan was also at a loss for reaction. Lin Jiao¡¯s mouth could even fit an egg. They had never thought of Chen Hao as anyone other than a gigolo. But the reality was that, the General Director of Jin Ling¡¯s Business Management Association¡ªthe renowned Huang Weimin¡ªhade to propose a toast to Chen Hao. They even addressed him respectfully as Young Master Chen. What did it mean? Chen Hao was not as simple as a pretty-faced gigolo. After all, Huang Weimin was the big boss of Jin Ling! ¡°Young Master Chen, after you finish your feast, kindly honor us with your presence at the upper floor for the issues I mentioned in the call.¡± Huang Weimin shook hands with Chen Hao cordially. Just a mere wave of this young master would result in the rise of several enterprises in Jin Ling. Jin Ling¡¯s economy could skyrocket with just a few signatures from Chen Hao. And this ultimate descendant of a supreme family did not show even the least bit of haughtiness. He was amiable and polite to everyone he met. How rare and precious! Without any dy, Huang Weimin led the group out of the room. The room was left in deathly silence. Everyone was bereft of speech and could only stare at Chen Hao. Zhao Gang and his wife thought that Director Zhao was already a bigwig who had the quality to act snobbishly, but it seemed like the actual person who was standing at the top of the hierarchy was the young man in front of them! ¡°Chen Hao, what did they call you? Young Master Chen? Lin Jiao barely managed to swallow her saliva. Zhao Yifan was also sweating nervously while staring at Chen Hao. ¡°It¡¯s just an address,¡± Chen Hao said calmly with a smile. It was not his intention to show off but this entire incident was out of his control, leaving him shocked and awkward as well. ¡°Could it be that Chen Hao is the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Commercial Group?¡± ¡°Young Master Chen? The Young Master Chen of the entire Jin Ling Commercial Street? It would only make sense for Huang Weimin to treat him with reverence if he is that Young Master Chen.¡± ¡°Impossible! How is this possible? How is Chen Hao this wealthy?¡± Everyone was guessing, but Lin Jiao could not ovee her disbelief. If that was the case, she would end her life! ¡°Thank you for the meal, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao! Since this whole trouble began at the birthday party of my friend¡¯s girlfriend, I¡¯ll handle this issue. Now please allow me to excuse myself, I need to pay a visit to the room upstairs.¡± If Chen Hao stayed any longer, he would be awkwardly stared at by the others. Thus, he took the opportunity to leave this room. Chen Hao did not make any statement regarding his identity. After he left the room, he made a call to Li Zhenguo. He hoped that Li Zhenguo would be the peacemaker and let this issue slide. Of course, Li Zhenguo agreed to his request. ¡°Yifan, are you sure that he is just a gigolo?¡± Zhao Gang was drowned in regret. If he had known this earlier, he would not have spurted all the taunts. None of them were aware that Zhao Gang almost peed himself in excitement when Huang Weimin gave a slight bow at Zhao Gang. ¡°Impossible! There must be some exnation behind it. How could Chen Hao be the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Commercial Street? And could he solve the problem with Xu Family with just a word?¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Zhao Yifan mumbled in perplexity. This fact was too significant for them to ept. Suddenly, Zhao Gang¡¯s phone rang. He was delighted when he saw the number of the caller. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me, hello, alright! What? What did you say? That¡¯s great! Thank you so much, I¡¯m truly grateful!¡± After that, Zhao Gang hung up the call gleefully. Everyone looked at him. Zhao Gang said, ¡°Yifan, we met a savior. It¡¯s true, Chen Hao¡ªI mean Young Master Chen, he¡¯s our savior! A senior from the Business Association called, and he said that a distinguished person stepped in to take this problem under control. Now, this problem waspletely solved!¡± Zhao Yifan slumped backward on the chair with a thud after she heard her father. Everything happened because of Chen Hao. He really had the power to solve this! But what was going on? Who was Chen Hao exactly? Doubt lingered in everyone¡¯s heart. Chen Hao had just arrived at the other room. He called Li Zhenguo just now to help Xu Xia, Zhao Yifan and Li Jiao, but he was unwilling to care about Xu Chao and Xu Nan. They were strangers to him. Chen Hao threw this problem to the back of his mind. After he entered the room, he enjoyed himself and drank with Huang Weimin and the rest. Regarding the important matters, Huang Weimin requested Chen Hao to attend the grand opening of the entertainment projects. It was not a big deal for Chen Hao, so he agreed without hesitation. When he returned to the college, it was almost 11pm. Hey on the bed but he was having a hard time falling asleep. Ding! The alerts of WeChat went off continuously. ¡°Chen Hao, are you asleep? Let¡¯s meet at the west cafeteria of our college tomorrow morning. I have something important to tell you! You don¡¯t need to reply to me!¡± He picked up the phone and read the messages. They were from Su Tongxin. Chapter 70 Can You Pretend To Be My Boyfriend? Chapter 70 Can You Pretend To Be My Boyfriend? The next morning was a Saturday. Yang Hui and the rest slept soundly until they were naturally awakened by their biological clock. Chen Hao did not disturb them. He went to the west cafeteria alone. Su Tongxin was already waiting for him there. She bought two sets of breakfast. It was fried rice with ham! ¡°I bought you breakfast, dig in!¡± Su Tongxin smiled while she spoke. Chen Hao did not reject. He asked while eating, ¡°Tongxin, why did you want to meet me?¡± Su Tongxin was dressed gorgeously today. Her fair legs were exposed. They were alluring and pleasant to sight. Chen Hao could not help but nce at them. ¡°Today is my grandma¡¯s birthday. I need to go home and celebrate it with her!¡± Su Tongxin blinked her eyes. ¡°Well, you know my rtionship with Su Ying. Please don¡¯t judge my small-mindedness. Actually, I don¡¯t like topete with others, especially those pointlesspetitions. But you might not know, my rtionship with Su Ying is quite umon. We were beingpared ever since we were born. We werepared for almost everything, including our names, studies, attire, and number ofpliments!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if the rivalry we have is innate, but all I know is I don¡¯t want to lose to her!¡± ¡°Do you understand?¡± Su Tongxin pouted her lips. Chen Hao was confused. ¡°Not really.¡± He couldn''t understand. Maybe because they were raised in different backgrounds. The only ideology that Chen Hao knew was the loser of thepetition would be cast off and the unfavored goods would be thrown away. And Chen Hao was too poor topete with others even if he wished to. He could not even afford new clothes for the new year in the past. What did he have topete? Thus, Chen Hao disliked unting prosperity andpeting for wealth. He thought that these acts were repugnant. It might also be because of his psychology of abhorring wealthiness. Chen Hao could not understand the world of the affluent society, although he was one of them now. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you frankly. Chen Hao, you know that she has a boyfriend, and I heard from Su Qi that Su Ying will be bringing her lowly boyfriend to the celebration of my grandma¡¯s birthday. Her boyfriend even prepared a special gift.¡± ¡°I can foresee that Su Ying will receive plenty ofpliments. Thus, I n to bring a boyfriend too!¡± ¡°Are you nning to make me your boyfriend?¡± Chen Hao figured out her motives. ¡°Yes, I need you to keep pretending to be my boyfriend and a rich person. Later, I¡¯ll go back to my dorm to get prepared and then I¡¯ll set off to buy you some clothes.¡± ¡°Chen Hao, the kindest Chen Hao, you can¡¯t just leave me hanging. You have to help me!¡± Su Tongxin persuaded gently. To be honest, this girl was truly beautiful. Chen Hao could not resist whenever her gorgeous eyes blinked or her rosy lips moved. But Chen Hao felt strange. Sigh! I actually wanted to be her real boyfriend¡­ I don¡¯t have to pretend. I am really a rich person! Chen Hao thought while smiling bitterly. After he agreed, Su Tongxin dragged Chen Hao to buy some clothes. Chen Hao was handsome after a makeover. Just when both of them were ready to set off to her grandma¡¯s birthday feast, Su Tongxin¡¯s phone rang. ¡°What? What did you say? Alright alright, I¡¯ll go there now!¡± Su Tongxin sighed after she hung up her phone. ¡°Chen Hao, I need to go somewhere else first. Su Qi and I ordered a gift for my grandma, but something has gone wrong. I am so worried now. Let¡¯s meet at the entrance of Jade Dragon Vi at 11am. I¡¯ll give you a call!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Chen Hao nodded. Su Tongxin got into a taxi and left hastily. Chen Hao smiled bitterly, It¡¯s only 9am now, what should I do? Right! The driving license! The driving license must have been couriered by now! He called to enquire about the driving license and it had arrived by courier as expected. ¡°Yes!¡± Chen Hao almost jumped in excitement. His biggest dream was to drive a car and to own a car. It didn¡¯t matter if it wasn¡¯t a luxurious car. Now, his dream was finallying true! To add onto his undeniable ecstasy, he got to drive that Lamborghini race car! Chen Hao went to the parking spot of his car after he retrieved his driving license. Vroom! A brand-new ck Passat grazed past Chen Hao. It then made a swift turn and drove around the park. At the side of the park, there were numerous boys and girls walking around. This Passat had attracted the attention of many girls. ¡°It¡¯s a Passat! The newest model of this year. It looks amazing!¡± ¡°It probably costs more than 200,000!¡± ¡°This Passat looks like it was furnished with full specification. I think it costs almost 300,000!¡± ¡°Damn! 300,000! Looks like there is another wealthy person here!¡± The group of girls were yakking at the car. This park had gained its poprity due to the Lamborghini. Strangely, it had be a normtely where students who owned a car would drive their car to the Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. park to attract the attention of the pretty girls, especially new cars. Obviously, the owner of this Passat followed the norm and drove his car here. ¡°Look, isn¡¯t this Chen Hao? What a coincidence!¡± The car stopped beside Chen Hao abruptly. The window wound down and a young handsome boy stuck his head out. Chen Hao recognized him. He was Li Jian. He went to the same driving school as Chen Hao. He was also one of the bullies who taunted Chen Hao together with Li Nian from his department. At first, Li Jian liked the Su Tongxin who was divinely beautiful, but he gave up immediately after he heard that Wang Yang, or known as Young Master Yang, was chasing after Su Tongxin. He took thest part of the driving test with Chen Hao, and after he passed the test, he bought a car instantly. It was clear that he hade here to show off. Chen Hao was not fond of him. He just nodded to Li Jian. ¡°This is my new car. It cost 350,000. Chen Hao, you received your driving license today, right? Why don¡¯t you get a car to drive? You¡¯ll forget how to drive if you don¡¯t practice it for a long time!¡± Li Jian smiled smugly. He was loud. Many of the girls peeped toward them curiously. They heard Li Jian¡¯s taunts. There were a few reasons why Li Jian treated Chen Hao, who was a stranger to him, in such a mean way. Firstly, he looked down on Chen Hao who was poor. He enjoyed the sense of satisfaction when he ridiculed Chen Hao. Secondly, he was furious that Su Tongxin only talked to Chen Hao when he tried to chat with her during the training for driving. He was overwhelmed with a sense of aplishment when mocking Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Li, where are you going? We want to cruise around the area, do you mind giving us a lift?¡± Finally, a few girls approached shyly. ¡°Sure!¡± Li Jianughedcently. He then looked at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Chen Hao, why don¡¯t you drive my car and take these girls for a spin?¡± Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°No thanks.¡± ¡°Young Master Li, don¡¯t be so mean. Who would be willing to be driven by him?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Look at his poor appearance, I can¡¯t even bear to look at him. I would be extremely embarrassed to sit in the car with him!¡± ¡°Even if Young Master Li lends him his car, does he have the guts to drive it? He wouldn¡¯t be able to pay for any of the car damages even if he sells himself!¡± Three of the girls made fun of Chen Hao. They then got into Li Jian¡¯s car. The girls were daring in today¡¯s world. They dreamed of having a wealthy boyfriend, or being supported by a wealthy person during their college lives. It would be great to study in a college without spending any money and even getting to buy fancy clothes. Chen Hao was speechless listening to their insults. He ignored them and took out his Lamborghini car key while walking toward his car¡­ Chapter 71 The Owner of the Lamborghini Chapter 71 The Owner of the Lamborghini ¡°Oh, Young Master Li, look! That douchebag that you were talking about is heading toward the Lamborghini!¡± ¡°Haha, that douchebag definitely wants to see the famous Lamborghini to broaden his horizons. Maybe he¡¯ll post it on WeChat moments and tell others how awesome he is! These people are verymon!¡± A few girls eximed with disdain. ¡°Maybe, what wouldn¡¯t this kind of person do?!¡± Li Jian smiled bitterly. ¡°Oh right, Young Master Li, do you know who owns this car?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t. But I understand a lot about the configuration and decor of the car. They¡¯re of top ss! Even a simple process like car polishing is also being held to a high standard and is personally supervised by experienced craftsmen who have been in the industry for more than several decades!¡± Li Jianughed. ¡°Oh? Young Master Li, you really sparked our interest. Can you exin to us further so that we can increase our knowledge?¡± One of the girls had an expression of awe on her face. Other than wanting to know more about this luxury car, they also wanted to dy time. It was around nine or ten o¡¯clock now. If they suggested going somewhere and Young Master Li agreed, wouldn¡¯t this be a chance encounter? If they could dy the time just right until it was noon, Young Master Li would have to treat them for lunch, right? Then wouldn¡¯t their rtionship be stronger?Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. One would say that these girls had too many tricks up their sleeves. Li Jian didn¡¯t think much. He pulled over his car and led the crowd over to the Lamborghini. He wasn¡¯t jealous of the owner of the Lamborghini because he understood that even if he worked his a** off, he still wouldn¡¯t have that kind of wealth. Chen Hao came over as well. ¡°Um, Miss, can you move over?¡± Chen Hao touched his nose and looked helplessly at the long-haired girl sitting boldly on top of the hood of the Lamborghini, taking selfies. ¡°Who the hell are you to tell me to move? Piss off!¡± The long-haired beauty yelled. This person is dressed rather nicely but I have seen many upstarts. Who the hell is he? How dare he tell me to move? ¡°She¡¯s right, who are you? How shameless are you to chase us away?¡± ¡°Haha, girls like pretty things and they like selfies. They might admire that luxury car but I didn¡¯t think that a boy would be so disgusting to want to take a selfie as well!¡± ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t embarrass yourself here!¡± The girls surrounding the long-haired beauty immediately started to tell him off. Chen Hao was stunned by their reaction. Damn, I just said one sentence and this many people ganged up on me? ¡°Chen Hao, the way you think is really interesting. So, you want a selfie? Do you want me to help?¡± Li Jian was sneering when he walked over to him. After giving Chen Hao a nce, he shifted his gaze onto the gorgeous girl sitting on the hood. ¡°Hey gorgeous, you can sit to your heart¡¯s content. The Lamborghini¡¯s structure isn¡¯t like any other sports car. It¡¯s incredibly sturdy. Not to mention that you are incredibly light!¡± ¡°Hahaha, thanks handsome. You have a sweet mouth, unlike some guys who are really disgusting! Oh, handsome, can you help me take a photo? I want to take a photo with this car from a distance!¡± The long-haired beauty had a very good impression of Li Jian. Li Jian was more than willing. What did he buy that Passat for? Of course it was to pick up chicks. He nodded with vigor. ¡°Say, Chen Hao, can you not block the camera?¡± Li Jian reminded Chen Hao who was standing in the way. ¡°Damn, beat it!¡± The long-haired beauty waved her hand impatiently. ¡°Ha, all of you are the ones who need to beat it!¡± Chen Hao said curtly. He actually just wanted to move the car so that they could take all the photos they wantedter. Therefore, he asked the beauty to scooch. As a result, he was mocked without reason and was scolded by this beauty. Especially Li Jian. He has been acting very strangely since we met. Was he trying to use me as a wingman? Are you trying to prove that you are great with my humility? Are you trying to prove your vanity by mocking me? Chen Hao believed that if he continued keeping a low-profile, things would end very badly for him. It would all be over. Anyone could step on him. So if this was the case, what was the point inying low? ¡°Did you just ask me to leave?¡± The long-haired beauty bellowed in shock. When her temper red up, she wanted to hit someone. biubiu Beep beep! At this moment, the Lamborghini which had been silent for a month suddenly shed its lights. Then the motor purred. The front door opened automatically. The sheen of the car seemed to brighten up at this moment as if it was weing its long-awaited master. Chen Hao lowered the car keys in his hand. Then, he slowly walked over to the car and slid into the driver¡¯s seat. It was silent even though there were a dozen girls standing in the park. There was aplete stillness, as if the world had tacitly agreed for this area to be quiet. Everyone widened their eyes at the scene before them. Li Jian¡¯s mouth and eyes reached their maximum extent in widening. This¡­ Chen Hao was the owner of the Lamborghini? ¡°Ah!¡± At this moment, there was a piercing voice that shattered the silence. ¡°It¡¯s him. The owner of the car is him! Ahh!¡± ¡°Young Master, you look so hot! Young Master, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Young Master, can I have your WeChat ID?¡± Some bold girls threw themselves in front of Chen Hao¡¯s car as if they saw their greatest idol. An 18 million dors Lamborghini race car. It was the ultimate luxury car! The effect the car had on all the girls was too huge. They had waited for so long and now the Young Master was finally here! Chen Hao was seated in the car. Even though the sound-proof walls were excellent, he could still hear the screams of the girls. To be honest, Chen Hao felt extremely good. Firstly, he finally got to drive his car. Secondly, he could finally hold his head up high. Di! Didi! Chen Hao rolled down the windows. He grinned at Li Jian, who was frozen in shock. ¡°Young Master Li, do you want to take this for a spin?¡± Chen Hao used his words against him. Li Jian gulped. He would never dare to drive this car. Not to mention he looked like he was about to vomit. The person that he looked down upon was this rich. Just a moment ago he was even teasing him. Chen Hao didn¡¯t fight back not because he was weak, but because Li Jian was just a clown in front of him. Li Jian¡¯s Passat only cost 300,000 but this car cost 18 million. F*ck, that was 60 Passats! This wasn¡¯t the most horrifying thing of all. The scarier thing was, how could he have gotten on the wrong side of someone this powerful? The three girls that were in Li Jian¡¯s car were also astounded, especially the long-haired girl who was sitting on Chen Hao¡¯s car hood yelling at him just now. All in all, everyone was shocked by this scene! Chen Hao left amidst the screams. He meant to show off in public. He really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Right at this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. It was Su Tongxin, as expected. He picked up the call. ¡°Chen Hao, where are you? Why haven¡¯t you arrived yet? Come quickly. Call a taxi if you need to. I¡¯m waiting at the doors of Jade Dragon Vi.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be there right away,¡± Chen Hao replied. When he was about to hang up the call, Chen Hao seemed to hear Su Tongxin say nervously, ¡°Shoot! I meant to say that... Erm...¡± There seemed to be a girl standing next to her. She asked, ¡°Tongxin, isn¡¯t Chen Hao your boyfriend? Isn¡¯t he rich? Why does he need to take a taxi?¡± Chapter 72 Birthday Feast Begins Chapter 72 Birthday Feast Begins Chen Hao heard the voice from the other end of the phone, but he didn¡¯t mind. He wanted to reach Jade Dragon Vi as quickly as possible, so he sped up. This vi was simr to Hot Spring Vi. There was entertainment and dining under one roof but in terms of facilities, it was much less or third-tier families. Today, the birthday feast of Su Tongxin¡¯s grandma was held here. After he arrived, Chen Hao drove into the car park. ¡°O-okay!¡± The security guard looked like he was about 50 years old and he seemed to have a stutter. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. If his Lamborghini didn¡¯t have an auto-parking system, the car would have definitely gotten stuck in the ditch under the guard¡¯s instructions. Chen Hao smiled resignedly. He still gave the security guard 100 so that he could get himself a box of cigarettes. ¡°Th-thank you!¡± As he turned to leave, the security guard thanked him with gratitude, speaking slowly. Su Tongxin was standing at the entrance of the vi. ¡°Hey, Tongxin, it¡¯s almost 11. Why isn¡¯t your boyfriend here yet?¡± There was a young woman standing next to Tongxin. She was twenty-four years old. She was pretty and wore sses, but she looked haughty. ¡°Don¡¯t worry cousin. Chen Hao will be here soon!¡± Su Tongxinughed anxiously. This girl was the second daughter of her aunt, named Tang Ran. She was beautiful and had always been close to Su Tongxin ever since they were kids. When she was still studying, she was the prettiest girl in school. Now, she had graduated and was working at a firm. She also had many admirers but she was too haughty and her standards were high. One would have to be extraordinary to catch her attention. It had been three years since her graduation and she had never had a boyfriend. At this moment, she was very interested in her cousin¡¯s boyfriend. She was interested in him because she cared about her cousin. She had to make sure that Su Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend was a good person. ¡°Tongxin, sorry I kept you waiting for so long!¡± At this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s voice rang out. Su Tongxin thought that Chen Hao would be arriving by taxi and had already thought of an excuse to tell Tang Ran. However, Chen Hao approached them from the opposite direction from which he was supposed to ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re here! Quick, let me introduce the best sister in the world to you!¡± Su Tongxin held Chen Hao''s arm affectionately. ¡°This is my cousin Tang Ran. She¡¯s four years older than us. Isn¡¯t she pretty?¡± Chen Hao nced at her and nodded. This woman was indeed pretty. ¡°Hmph, are you saying that I¡¯m not pretty?¡± Su Tongxin said coquettishly. She was just joking, of course. ¡°No no, of course you are more¡­ erm, you¡¯re all beautiful, all beautiful!¡± Chen Hao wiped the sweat off his brows. ¡°Tongxin, stop teasing Chen Hao!¡± Seeing the banter, Tang Ran felt a hint of jealousy. Perhaps she had been single for too long. She couldn¡¯t stand seeing people being in love, including her cousin. Tang Ran crossed her arms and looked at Chen Hao. So, he was Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend! He was well-dressed and he looked handsome with a steady gaze. He also looked quite confident. She gave him nine marks out of a hundred for her first impression of him. This was a perfect example of why haughty Tang Ran could not find a boyfriend. ¡°Chen Hao, nice to meet you. Tongxin mentioned that your family runs businesses. May I ask what kind of business in particr?¡± she asked as she crossed her arms. ¡°Oh, we dabble in a lot of sectors!¡± To be honest, Chen Hao didn¡¯t know how to answer this question. His sister told him that his family had businesses in many, many industries and they had assets in half of the countries around the globe. If he was not mistaken, his family was a huge family with hundreds of years of history. Chen Xiao didn¡¯t give him the specifics. That was why Chen Hao had to fill in the gaps himself and he could only give a general answer. ¡°I don¡¯t see your point. You seem confused!¡± Tang Ran shook her head resignedly. ¡°Tongxin told me that you both met at the driving school and that you have already gotten your license. Have you bought a car already?¡± she questioned again. ¡°Yes, he has. He bought a BMW 7 Series and his family told him to practise with that car first! But Chen Hao is afraid of driving it so I told him to take a taxi!¡± Su Tongxin knew that lying to her dearest cousin was not the best way to deal with this situation, but she didn¡¯t want Chen Hao to feel stressed. She had no choice but to lie. ¡°Ha, BMW 7 Series. There¡¯s a fool in our department who is driving this car. He wanted to woo me but I told him to piss off!¡± Tang Ran shook her head. If this was the case, then Chen Hao¡¯s family background is not bad. However, it would take a whole lot more than a BMW if he were to be my boyfriend. Tang Ran was really pretty so she used this to her advantage. Her dream was to marry into a rich family and find a wealthy husband who was obedient. To be frank, it didn¡¯t matter if her future husband was older or younger than her. She would be fine either way. The main criteria was that he must be rich. Her definition of rich was not just owning onepany that had assets over billions of dors like some families. Rich to her meant a business empire. Tang Ran didn¡¯t know when she had this conviction but it was very strong. She shook her head bitterly andughed. ¡°Well, Tongxin, Grandma¡¯s birthday feast is about to begin. Let¡¯s go inside!¡± Tang Ran had already lost interest in conversing with Chen Hao. Su Tongxin stuck her tongue out and whispered, ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t mind her. My cousin is like that. I think apart from the richest of the rich, no one can meet her standards. She shouldn¡¯t be so stubborn!¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t possibly tell Su Tongxin that he was the richest of the rich and that her cousin should marry him. That much was apparent. Moreover, her cousin was quite arrogant. Forget it! I¡¯m helping Su Tongxin out by acting as her boyfriend. I don¡¯t need to take it so seriously! Then, the trio went inside. Nearly everyone in the family came to the birthday feast. Su Tongxin¡¯s uncles, aunties and many other distant rtives were present. Therefore, the entire front vi of Jade Dragon Vi was reserved for the feast. People were flowing into the banquet hall. ¡°Grandma, I wish you longevity and my all your wishese true, haha!¡± Standing at the center was a white-haired woman wearing festive clothes. She chuckled. She looked at her eldest granddaughter, Su Ying. ¡°Ying, I don¡¯t dare to wish for longevity but as for wishes, I hope all of you will find someone someday to settle down with and form your own family!¡± One could notpare the older generation to the younger generation. The former usually hoped for a girl to marry at the age of twenty three or twenty four! ¡°Yes, Grandma. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Li Jiannan!¡± Su Ying smiled and pulled Li Jiannan to her side. Li Jiannan was put under the spotlight. Many rtives chuckled. ¡°Mister Li is really handsome!¡± ¡°I heard that his family is quite rich too!¡± ¡°Grandma, here is my gift for you, please have a look!¡± Li Jiannan smiled and took something out of his pocket. Everyone gasped when they saw what it was... Chapter 73 Chen Hao What’s Your Gift? Chapter 73 Chen Hao What¡¯s Your Gift? ¡°A jade thumb ring!¡± ¡°Mister Li is so filial. This piece of jewelry is at least 70,000 to 80,000. Tsk tsk!¡± The crowd praised. To present a gift worth 70,000 to 80,000 at Grandma Su¡¯s birthday as a boyfriend was considered very filial. ¡°Thank you for this gift. Ying, go find a seat with Jiannan!¡± Grandma Su was delighted with the present and she couldn¡¯t put it down. She looked at Li Jiannan. She was liking him more and more. Even Su Ying¡¯s father was basking in the glory. However, it was worth noting that filial piety was not the only reason why everyone came to celebrate Grandma Su¡¯s birthday. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. It was just one of them. The other reason was that Grandma Su had the inheritance that Grandpa Su left behind. She had three sons and two daughters. It waspletely up to her to decide who would be the heir to the inheritance. Therefore, Grandma Su¡¯s birthday feasts had always been exceptionally grand. ¡°Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Yu. We both wish you a happy birthday¡­¡± Su Qi walked up to Grandma Su and presented his gift with a smile. Grandma Su grinned even bigger. Next, there was a young man around the age of twenty-five or twenty-six. He was wearing a blue suit and his hair wasbed back. With his stately appearance, one could immediately tell that he was a sessful person. His name was Su Muyang. He was Su Tongxin¡¯s cousin and Su Ying¡¯s brother. As soon as he appeared, he became the center of attention. This was because Su Muyang had a stable career and he was the most capable andpetent one among Grandma Su¡¯s grandchildren. He was also the future heir to the Su family. ¡°Grandma, I wish you fortune and longevity!¡± ¡°Oh right, Grandma. This is my new girlfriend, Du Qing!¡± Su Muyang introduced. ¡°Great, this is so great. You all have given me such a wonderful surprise today! I have to take a closer look at my future grandchild-inws. Du Qing, where are you working at?¡± Du Qing said, ¡°Grandma Su, I¡¯m working at a BMW car dealer store and I¡¯m already an Assistant Manager, all thanks to Muyang!¡± ¡°That¡¯s lovely! Did you meet Muyang when he was purchasing cars?¡± Su Muyang nodded his head. ¡°Yes Grandma. Didn¡¯t I mention that I was going to pick up a BMW sports car some time ago? I met Du Qing there!¡± ¡°Alright, Qing,e sit beside me!¡± Grandma Su waved her hand. ¡°Brother and sister-inw, do take a seat!¡± Su Ying greeted them with a smile. The two siblings were really in the limelight today. Usually after the sons, daughters and grandchildren gave their wishes, the celebration would start. But the protagonist of the day seemed far from satisfied. She seemed to be waiting for someone. If this person didn¡¯te to offer his or her wishes, this feast would be pointless. Who could this person be? Of course, it was Grandma Su¡¯s favorite grandchild, Su Tongxin! ¡°Guoqiang, where¡¯s my granddaughter Tongxin?¡± Grandma Su asked. Su Tongxin¡¯s father, Su Guoqiang, and her mother, Wang Huimin, were naturally present. A while ago, Su Guoqiang¡¯spany nearly closed down due to bad management. To be honest, Grandma Su was furious initially. However, she didn¡¯t expect this crisis to be averted in such a short period of time by Young Master Chen of Jin Ling with his investment. The problems of thepany were solved and it was in a better ce than before. This made Grandma Su ecstatic, which made her even more fond of Su Tongxin. Su Ying and Su Muyang looked dissatisfied when they heard Grandma Su¡¯s question, but they could only hide their envy. ¡°Tongxin said she was waiting for a friend. She will being soon!¡± ¡°Oh? Could it be that Tongxin has a boyfriend as well?¡± ¡°It seems so¡­¡± Su Guoqiang replied nomittally. Su Tongxin had told him that she was going to bring her boyfriend. Wang Huimin had asked who her boyfriend was, but Su Tongxin would not answer. She only told them to go along with her. So, Su Guoqiang and Wang Huimin had no idea what she was up to. ¡°Mom, look, Tongxin ising over!¡± At this moment, Su Tongxin came out from the crowd, bringing Chen Hao along. If Chen Hao didn¡¯t go to the bathroom, they would have gotten there quicker. ¡°Tongxin is bing more beautiful!¡± ¡°Huh? Look at the boy who¡¯s holding hands with Tongxin. Is that her boyfriend?¡± ¡°Who is that child? Which family does he belong to? Why haven¡¯t I heard about him before?¡± ¡°Whatever¡¯s the case, that boy has good luck!¡± The rtives were muttering among themselves. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Wang Huimin saw Chen Hao and widened her eyes unbelievably. No wonder her daughter didn¡¯t want to tell her who her boyfriend was. It was that poor kid. Well, if she had told her, she would have never allowed the two to be together. ¡°Huh? Who is he?¡± Grandma Su asked. Wang Huimin didn¡¯t dare to answer. If Grandma Su knew that her granddaughter¡¯s boyfriend was such an embarrassment, who knew what would happen? ¡°Grandma, let me introduce him to you. He is my boyfriend, Chen Hao!¡± Even though Wang Huimin was warning her with a nce, Su Tongxin ignored her and generously introduced Chen Hao. ¡°Oh? Tongxin, you found yourself a boyfriend as well?¡± Grandma Su was instantly delighted. This was her favorite grandchild and she knew that she had excellent foresight. Her boyfriend would be extraordinary. ¡°Yes. Chen Hao, quickly, greet grandma.¡± Su Tongxin pulled Chen Hao¡¯s hand intimately. This was not Chen Hao¡¯s first time at such a big asion, but because he was pretending to be Su Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend, he felt quite strange. He was not paying attention just now because Su Guoqiang, Wang Huimin, Su Qi and Su Ying were scowling at him. He heard Su Tongxin and was about to open his mouth. ¡°Wait a minute!¡± A voice rang out coldly. Naturally, it was Su Ying. A while back, when Su Tongxin and Chen Hao caused her and Li Jiannan to lose their face in front of Jiang Cheng, she felt extremely humiliated. The hatred that sprung from this event made Su Ying suffer numerous sleepless nights for this period of time. She was curious about Chen Hao. After asking around in their school, she found out that Chen Hao was not an upstart. He had only won the lottery. In the past, he was a douchebag with neither money nor power. Also, he was dumped by his ex- girlfriend. Su Tongxin did meet him in the driving school but there was no reason for her to fall for this kind of person. As for Jiang Cheng, how did Chen Hao know him? This matter was hrious and not hard to guess. Since Chen Hao won the lottery, he went on a spending spree and bought a bag that was worth 360,000. He also spent a lot of money in many restaurants on Jin Ling Commercial Street. Maybe Mister Jiang had seen him coincidentally and felt that he was someone prestigious. This misunderstanding had happened to many people. Su Ying couldn¡¯t believe Su Tongxin had the guts to bring Chen Hao to this feast. Therefore, Su Ying asked frostily, ¡°Tongxin, Chen Hao, those who are in attendance have given Grandma a gift. Do you have a present for her?¡± ¡°Of course I do!¡± Su Tongxin replied icily. ¡°Your present is from you. I¡¯m asking Chen Hao. He¡¯s your boyfriend and didn¡¯t you say Chen Hao was an upstart? He is so much better than Jiannan, right? So we all want to see what Chen Hao¡¯s gift is.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. It¡¯s their first meeting after all. He should bring a gift, right?¡± ¡°Who is he anyway? His family seems to be quite powerful.¡± The rtives huddled closer, wanting to see what this boyfriend had brought¡­ Chapter 74 He Was That Psycho Who Bought the Car Chapter 74 He Was That Psycho Who Bought the Car ¡°I didn¡¯t bring any gifts!¡± Chen Hao smiled, embarrassed. He wanted to buy one but Su Tongxin didn¡¯t agree and said that they only needed one gift. Of course she would be the one to buy it! That was why Chen Hao came here empty-handed. He knew that his presence at Grandma Su¡¯s birthday feast was enough to make Grandma Su happy. Who would have thought that Su Ying would try to pick a fight! ¡°What? You didn¡¯t bring presents? I thought Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend would definitely bring an expensive gift!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend an upstart? He should have known better. It¡¯s his first timeing to our family gathering but he didn¡¯t bring anything?¡± ¡°Ah, he¡¯scklusterpared to Su Ying¡¯s boyfriend Li Jiannan!¡± A lot of rtives began to murmur. Their voices were not soft and everyone could hear them. So at the moment, Grandma Su felt a bit embarrassed. She was not the kind of person who liked gifts but as an elderly, she valued other people¡¯s respect toward her. So, her attitude toward Chen Hao was less enthusiastic than that of Li Jiannan. She just said that it was fine and told Chen Hao to sit aside. She then asked nomittally, ¡°Chen Hao, I heard your family has a strong financial background. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. What kind of business does your family run?¡± ¡°Oh, we do all sorts of business!¡± Chen Hao said mildly. Although Chen Hao was telling the truth, the answer was a bit disrespectful in the eyes of Grandma Su and the others. What did ''all sorts of business'' mean? What was the business specifically? He could not even answer a simple question properly. Su Tongxin smiled and said hurriedly, ¡°Grandma, it¡¯s his first time here. Be careful not to scare him with all your questions!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stop asking!¡± Grandma Su let it go. After all, Su Tongxin was her favorite. ¡°Hmph, is he scared because of the number of questions or because of those questions itself? Sister, do be clear, what business does Chen Hao¡¯s family run? I think you know better than all of us!¡± Su Ying then said in a peculiar tone. The one thing that she couldn¡¯t stand most was that no matter what Su Tongxin said or did in front of Grandma Su, she was correct. Grandma Su would always pamper her. But if other grandchildren did something wrong, even if it was just a minor mistake, they would be scolded harshly by her. She wasn¡¯t nning to fall out with Su Tongxin but she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Let¡¯s see if you will still be able to keep your head up high after today! Sure enough, her words attracted Grandma Su¡¯s attention. She thought of Wang Huimin¡¯s attitude just now. Grandma Su frowned. ¡°Tongxin, are you hiding something from me? What business does Chen Hao¡¯s family run?¡± Su Tongxin stiffened. At the same time, she looked at his brother Su Qi. Whatever that was happening, Su Ying knew that her brother had a part in it. Just as she thought, Su Qi didn¡¯t dare to meet her eyes. ¡°Grandma, I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Su Tongxin said nervously. ¡°Ha, you¡¯re too embarrassed to say it right? Fine, I¡¯ll help you say it. Grandma! Do you know who this Chen Hao is?¡± ¡°He used to be a famous poor kid in Jin Ling College. He earned his living by running errands¡­ Yes, Chen Hao indeed had some moneyter on, but that''s because he won the lottery. Guess what? Chen Hao... ¡± It was unclear where Su Ying gathered the information, but she was quite practiced in delivering it. She spilled all the embarrassing moments of Chen Hao as if she had seen it with her own eyes, including Chen Hao¡¯s spending spree after winning the lottery. The worst thing was, she did it in front of everyone. ¡°What? I can¡¯t believe Tongxin made this person her boyfriend!¡± ¡°And they say he¡¯s an upstart. I¡¯ll say this kid deliberately deceived Su Tongxin by making up his identity, right?¡± ¡°Ah, this is the case with poor people. Once they have a bit of money, they would show off and forget who they are! It was just a lottery, was all of this really necessary?¡± Gossip was a fearful thing. Suddenly, all Chen Hao could hear was contempt and condescension. Everyone¡¯s perceptions toward Chen Hao changed in a sh. ¡°How dare you lie to our Tongxin?¡± Tang Ran was feisty and she stood up right away, questioning Chen Hao coldly. Grandma Su''s face had gonepletely red with anger. Su Ying looked at Li Jiannan and smirked. This was extremely satisfying! Tang Ran asked Su Tongxin, ¡°Tongxin, didn''t you just tell me that he bought a BMW 7 Series? I thought it was a bit weird. Chen Hao should have driven here, but he didn''t. Have you actually seen his BMW 7 Series?¡± Su Tongxin stammered. She didn¡¯t know how to reply. ¡°Tang Ran, we have a total of three BMW branches in Jin Ling City. During this period, we didn¡¯t sell any BMW 7 Series. If we did, I would have known!¡± ¡°Wait a second! I remember who he is!¡± Su Muyang''s girlfriend, Du Qing, pointed at Chen Hao. When Chen Hao arrived, Du Qing had already sized Chen Hao up. This person looked familiar, really familiar. Where had she seen him before? Du Qing couldn''t remember exactly where. Du Qing only remembered when Tang Ran mentioned the BMW 7 Series. She had seen this person before and it was in the BMW shop! ¡°Du Qing, do you know him?¡± Su Muyang asked lightly. To be honest, he felt that Su Tongxin had humiliated their family in front of all their rtives by associating herself with this strange kid. Therefore, Su Muyang''s attitude toward Chen Hao was also extremely hostile. Not to mention that he had been fighting openly and covertly with his uncle''s family. At present, not only did he want to express his anger, he also wanted Du Qing to tell everyone what she knew. ¡°Yes. Of course I know him, Muyang. Do you remember that I told you the other day that there was a strange young man who went to our BMW car dealer shop to buy the most expensive car? I rmended all the most expensive cars in our shop to him but he said that they were too cheap and left our shop with a pained expression!¡± ¡°Of course I remember. Is he that strange fool?¡± Su Muyang was stunned. Du Qing nodded. ¡°Yes, it''s him. I remember that he was wearing shabby clothes at that time, but today he was all dressed up so I couldn¡¯t recall.¡± This time, the crowd looked at Chen Hao with aplicated gaze. ¡°What kind of person did Tongxin find?¡± ¡°He¡¯s crazy!¡± ¡°Don''t talk nonsense, Chen Hao isn''t like that!¡± cried Su Tongxin. She was about to break down. She wanted Chen Hao to pretend to be her boyfriend so that Grandma Su would be happy. It was as simple as that. Secondly, she also wanted topete with Su Ying. After all, Chen Hao had already beaten them yesterday, but Su Tongxin never dreamed that her cousin would be so ruthless. She even investigated Chen Hao! What was more, Su Muyang¡¯s new girlfriend actually knew Chen Hao and she even described Chen Hao as a dumba**. It could be said that the whole thing backfired on Su Tongxin. ¡°What do you mean, Chen Hao is not like that? Tongxin, why would your sister-inw lie to you? If you don''t believe it, ask your boyfriend if he was really at the BMW car dealer shop that day?¡± Du Qing said. Chen Hao had been listening to everyone quietly, including Du Qing. He recognized her now. After all, he had just met Du Qing once. On that day, she was wearing a ck uniform. During her introduction of the car, she was calling other customers the entire time and didn¡¯t show an ounce of respect to him, so there was not much interaction. If Chen Hao was not mistaken, he remembered Du Qing cursing him when he was leaving. At that time, he didn''t care about it. But should he refute? How could he refute? After all, what they said was true. Then, in front of everyone, Chen Hao nodded. ¡°What she said is true. Indeed, that day I couldn¡¯t find an expensive car in the BMW shop. I was annoyed because those cars were really too cheap!¡± Chen Hao said nonchntly. Chapter 75 Car Accident in the Car Park Chapter 75 Car ident in the Car Park Everyone was talking nonstop when Tang Ran received a call. Her mood immediately lifted. ¡°What? Sister, is that really you? You¡¯re already at the airport? Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯ting back for the birthday feast this year? Oh, alright, I¡¯lle for you immediately!¡± After ending the call, Tang Ran said, ¡°Grandma, my sister will be hereter. She came back from M Country especially for you. She¡¯s at the airport now!¡± ¡°I knew it! I knew Tang Chu woulde back...¡± Grandma Su immediately replied with a smile. ¡°In that case, Muyang, please go and pick her up by car! Go alone, Du Qing will stay with me.¡± ¡°Alright, Grandma!¡± Su Muyang said with a smile, then waved the BMW car key in his hand and left straightaway. Su Tongxin looked a little gloomy. Tang Ran''s elder sister was Tang Chu. Ever since they were kids, Su Tongxin had always been the closest to both of them. And Grandma Su knew this as well. Under normal circumstances, Grandma Su would have allowed Su Tongxin to apany Su Muyang to pick her up, but Grandma Su clearly indicated that Su Muyang would go alone. This meant that Grandma Su was not happy with Su Tongxin. After Su Muyang left, everyone turned their attention back to Chen Hao. Yes, no one thought that Chen Hao was such a loser and at the same time, Su Tongxin''s boyfriend. He was naturally very controversial. In face of this, Chen Hao just listened quietly. Chen Hao was angry with others for their nder and ridicule, but he had to preserve Su Tongxin¡¯s dignity. Therefore, he kept his anger to himself. Suddenly, Du Qing¡¯s phone rang. ¡°It''s Muyang! Maybe he wants me toe with, Grandma! ¡± Du Qing smiled and answered the call. After a few interjections, her face turned pale. ¡°Grandma, oh no! Muyang crashed into a car!¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°When he was backing out of the car park, he identally crashed into another car!¡± ¡°Oh, I thought it was a big deal. Is Muyang''s car OK?¡± Grandma Su asked. ¡°It''s no big deal. If Muyang''s car isn¡¯t damaged, ask him to pick up Tang Chu first. I''ll help him with the rest!¡± Su Qi smiled resignedly. Was it such a big deal? ¡°Muyang, you can leave first, Su Qi said he will help you deal with it! What? Okay!¡± Du Qing hung up and looked at Su Muyang''s father. ¡°Muyang said he daren¡¯t leave and asked Uncle to hurry up and have a look. He may be in big trouble!¡± ¡°Huh? What¡¯s the matter?¡± The crowd grew curious. Because of curiosity, everyone went to have a look, even Grandma Su. Su Muyang was usually very mature. Under normal situations, he wouldn¡¯t behave like this. ¡°Chen Hao, let¡¯s go over as well!¡± Tongxin suggested. Chen Hao nodded with a smile. By the time Chen Hao arrived, the whole Su family had already surrounded the cars. Su Muyang was exining. ¡°Dad, I didn''t mean to. It¡¯s all because of this security guard. He told me to continue to go backward and I crashed!" ¡°This is the most expensive Lamborghini model. To fix this, you need at least 700,000 to 800,000 because the headlights are damaged!¡± Some rtives recognized the model of the car and eximed. ¡°The owner of this car must be of high status. We can afford to pay 700,000 or 800,000 but we might have offended him. Look, it is a brand new car after all!¡± ¡°Does anyone know who would be able to afford a sports car worth a few million in Jin Ling City?¡± The crowd were discussing excitedly. Chen Hao was listening and he tensed. F*ck, my car is parked in this spot. Did he really crash into my Revent¨®n? Squeezing his way through the crowd, Chen Hao nearly burst into tears when he saw it. It really was his beloved car. The body of the car was fine. The crash caused some scratches but the right headlight was smashed! Repairing a headlight was neither expensive nor cheap. Plus the scratches, it would be about 1.8 million. But as someone had said, it was a brand new car. Grandma Su was also very anxious. ¡°Muyang, why are you so careless? The security guard obviously has a stutter. Couldn¡¯t you tell? Now great. Not only do we have to pay a million, we might also have offended someone!¡± ¡°Muyang, Grandma! This time we might really be in trouble. We can''t afford to offend the owner of the car!¡± Du Qing tugged Muyang¡¯s hand at the side. She knew what was at stake. ¡°Du Qing, why would you say that? Do you know whose car is this?¡± Grandma Su asked. ¡°Yes!¡± Du Qing nodded solemnly. ¡°Just now I took a picture of this car and sent it to our employees because some of our employees used to work in Lamborghini. He said in the group chat that this car was sold several days ago, with a transaction price of 18 million dors. On the day the car was bought, the manager of the shop followed the buyer everywhere, who was a young master, and paid great attention to him. Even the manager acted humbly!¡± ¡°Besides, do you know who the manager of Lamborghini in Jin Ling district is? It''s Wang Qiang!¡± Du Qing said respectfully. ¡°She¡¯s right, it is Mr. Wang Qiang. Even he was so respectful to this car buyer?¡± ¡°The reason why Mr. Wang Qiang got to where he is today is because he relies on his contacts and his excellent ability!¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. With that being said, Grandma Su became more nervous. ¡°Then let''s get out of here, or we''ll be in trouble when the young masteres!¡± Grandma Su said in a flurry. She was the most experienced with the ways of the world. She knew clearly what consequences would be brought to them if they offended a big family. They would be crushed! ¡°Grandma, we must not leave! They are surveince cameras everywhere!¡± Su Ying and Tang Ran persuaded. To be honest, at the moment, Su Ying''s eyes did not leave the luxury car for a moment. She was even imagining how it felt like to sit in the luxury car. If only her boyfriend Li Jiannan could own this car! However, she knew that it was impossible. As for Tang Ran, her thoughts were even bolder. She wanted to wait for the owner of the car. A man who owned a car worth 20 million was no doubt a rich man from a wealthy family. Doesn¡¯t this mean that I am a step closer to my dreams? Even if there was a slightest bit of interaction, it would have been great progress! ¡°Well, find someone to pick up Tang Chu first! Su Ying and Tang Ran are right. We can''t leave. It¡¯s better if we don''t leave. If we leave, we would really get into big trouble!¡± Grandma Su said sternly. She felt that she was getting senile. ¡°Grandma, I want to pick her up, but I dare not go!¡± Su Muyang gulped. ¡°It''s OK, you go and pick her up first. Grandma, you can go back to your birthday feast, too. This car is damaged, what¡¯s done is done. It''s fine!¡± Just then, a voice rang behind the crowd. Of course it was Chen Hao. Chapter 76 Calling For Help At The River Bank Chapter 76 Calling For Help At The River Bank After Chen Hao finished his sentence, he went to check on his car. He would be lying if he said that he was not upset, but there was no point crying over spilled milk, Moreover, it happened at the birthday feast of Su Tongxin¡¯s grandma, so Su Tingxin would be embarrassed if he asked for theirpensation. Most importantly, he would find it awkward as well. He could only keep silent and let it slide. Thus, Chen Hao dismissed them. He was nning to repair his car at a car repair shop. ¡°Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the power to conclude this incident?¡± ¡°Do you really think that you are Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Street? When you rise to that level, maybe you¡¯ll have the rights to interrupt in this matter.¡± ¡°Exactly. If we leave now, we will be the culprit who absconded from an ident involving arge sum of money. We might face severe penalties. Don¡¯t you have anymon sense aboutws?¡± At once, the cousins as well as the aunts and uncles of Su Tongxin started to jeer at Chen Hao, especially Su Ying, who sneered, ¡°He¡¯s just an uneducated hick. Why bother talking to him about the awareness of thew?¡± ¡°Enough about him. He won¡¯t be of any help in this situation. We shouldn¡¯t waste our time on him. Instead, let¡¯s try to use our connections to solve this issue.¡± Tang Ran nced at Chen Hao indifferently and redirected everyone¡¯s attention to the car. ¡°Tang Ran is right. Since it has already happened, we should not avoid it. Sigh, if we really run out of solutions, I¡¯ll try to contact Director Chu of the Business Management Association. Your grandfather is a friend of his, so perhaps he knows the owner of this car,¡± Grandma Su said. Some people started dialing. Li Jiannan refused to be outdone. He tried to contact his connection to identify the owner of the car. Chen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he allowed this to cascade, everyone would be in an awkward situation. Sigh! Chen Hao sighed and took out his car key. biubiu!!! Beep! Beep! The car beeped. The headlights flickered. ¡°Ah!¡± Everyone was astounded. Then, they saw Chen Hao slowly approach the car. He pressed a button on the key once again. Buzz Buzz! The Lamborghini made some whirring noises. The skylight opened automatically and the race car converted into a roadster. Chen Hao took out half a bottle of mineral water from the seatpartment and took a drink. He was extremely thirsty. He took a few gulps of water, wiped his mouth and said, ¡°I said, it¡¯s not a big deal. All of you should hurry off to the feast.¡± However, none of them answered Chen Hao. Chen Hao only received moments of deathly silence. nk! Suddenly, Li Jiannan¡¯s phone fell to the floor from his loosened grip while he was in the process of dialing numbers. Gulp! Su Qi and his girlfriend who were standing at a side swallowed their saliva simultaneously. Su Ying¡¯s chest was heaving intensely. Her jaws were slightly opened, signifying that she was undergoing a tremendous surge of emotions in her heart. Tang Ran was standing beside Chen Hao. Her expression was indescribable and she was gaping at Chen Hao shockingly. Even Grandma Su was stunned. Everybody was stunned like deers in a headlight. ¡°This car¡­ belongs to Chen Hao?¡± Someone broke the silence. To be urate, someone represented the crowd in expressing their astonishment. Su Tongxin also asked surprisingly, ¡°Chen Hao, is that your car?¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s mine. Didn¡¯t I tell you that I would give you a ride and take you for a spin these few days?¡± Chen Hao responded. Su Tongxin recalled what Chen Hao said before. On the day of the test, when Chen Hao was sending her back to her dorm, Chen Hao mentioned that he would drive her around in a luxurious car these few days. And she even replied, "I¡¯m looking forward to it!" What else did Chen Hao say? He said that he was a descendant of a wealthy family. Her response was, "Young Master Chen, I¡¯ll be waiting for that day." At that moment, Su Tongxin was just joking with Chen Hao. But now, Su Tongxin felt like she was in a dream when Chen Hao opened the door of the Lamborghini. ¡°Chen Hao, is this really your car? I don¡¯t believe it!!!¡± Su Ying finally got back to her senses. She felt that she was pped brutally and the pain was driving her insane. Chen Hao, you are just a poor loser, a loser who won some money. How could you afford such an expensive car? 18 million! How rich does he have to be? Impossible!!! She dashed forward and curtly flipped through the vehicle license in the car. p! After she finished reading it, Su Ying was at a loss for reaction. The license fell onto the floor. She waspletely stupefied. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have thrown it even if you didn¡¯t want to read it.¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Some people are just ignorant. Their parents are just the same, ignorant! Chen Hao, quickly tell aunty how did you get to know our Tong Xin.¡± Wang Huimin rushed to pick up the vehicle license and took a nce. She beamed with joy at once and held onto Chen Hao¡¯s wrist dearly, as if she was holding her own son. ¡°Aunty, we met during the driving lessons!¡± Chen Hao replied. ¡°See, I was right that our Tongxin has good foresight. Frankly speaking, Chen Hao, when I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were extraordinary. Even Zhuang Qiang and Wang Yang are not your match!¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Chen Hao was embarrassed by the ttery. It seemed like she hadpletely forgotten that she chased him out of the house previously! ¡°Exactly, Chen Hao. We are truly sorry for this ident. I can¡¯t believe Muyang crashed into your car!¡± Grandma Su was radiant with euphoria. She walked toward Chen Hao and said smilingly. She was truly terrified when the crash happened. Unexpectedly, the owner of this luxurious car was actually the boyfriend of her granddaughter. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. In conclusion, other than a small group of people who could not ept the fact that Chen Hao was a wealthy person, most of the people strived to approach Chen Hao. However, Chen Hao left the feast early because he was rushing to repair his car. ¡°Chen Hao, I¡¯ll be going to the college this afternoon. Why don''t I go with you to repair your car?¡± Su Tongxin asked lively. She was hit with surprise and delight today. Either way, she was oddly excited. ¡°Sure, I promised to give you a ride anyway. Hop on!¡± When Su Tongxin left with Chen Hao, Grandma Su felt that it was the best gift that she had received on her birthday. Chen Hao was driving along the highway. ¡°Chen Hao, are you really the son of a wealthy family? Hey, how dare you lie to me? Oh, and don¡¯t tell me you are the supreme Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Commercial Street!¡± In the car, Su Tongxin bombarded Chen Hao with questions. Chen Hao didn¡¯t know what to tell her. They had indeed guessed correctly. He was the Young Master Chen. But did he really want to reveal his identity? It would only lead to one oue¡ªhe would not be able to continue his study in this college. Hence, Chen Hao decided to deny it. He shook his head and responded, ¡°Do you wish that I am the Young Master Chen?¡± ¡°No! Because if you are Young Master Chen, we won¡¯t be in the same league anymore. I will lose you as a dear friend!¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯m not. What¡¯s more, how will Young Master Chen drive a car that costs only 10 or 20 million? And if you didn¡¯t help me with my attire today, I wouldn¡¯t even know how to dress up nicely!¡± ¡°I just won a lottery, a huge sum of money!¡± Chen Hao answered perfunctorily. ¡°You are right. Then you¡¯ll still be my best friend, Chen Hao!¡± Su Tongxin said gleefully. Chen Hao realized that even though Su Tongxin was intelligent, she would never consider a problem in aplex way. If it were other girls, they would have probably insisted on getting a definite answer. But Su Tongxin did not enquire further after Chen Hao told her that he was not the Young Master Chen. Perhaps the status and wealthiness of Chen Hao did not matter to her. When Chen Hao drove his car to the car dealer shop, Wang Qiang gathered the most expert technicians to repair his car. While waiting for the repair to be done, Chen Hao brought Su Tongxin for a walk. ¡°I¡¯ll buy you some milk tea!¡± Chen hao said with a grin. While they were strolling, they passed by a milk tea cafe on the street. ¡°How nice of you, but I remember that I owe you a milk tea. I¡¯ll buy you one instead. Consider it as a token of appreciation for pretending to be my boyfriend.¡± The thought of milk tea reminded Su Tongxin of their first encounter. She walked to the milk tea cafe immediately. Chen Hao did not decline. He waited at a side and thought, But I don¡¯t think a milk tea is enough to pay for the debt you owe me! Chen Hao was standing by the roadside when all of a sudden, he heard a scream for help. ¡°Help! Help!¡± Chen Hao looked to the direction of the sound. A short distance ahead, a woman was screaming hysterically beside the city moat of Jin Ling City. Chapter 77 Su Tongxin Disappeared Chapter 77 Su Tongxin Disappeared Chen Hao was rmed by the screams. He dashed there without any dy. The area around the city moat was bleak and deste. There were no park or recreational facilities. That woman¡¯s face was covered in tears and her clothes were drenched. As soon as she saw Chen Hao, she almost kneeled down. ¡°Quick, please rescue my daughter!¡± She was fine-looking. Judging from the jewelry she wore, it seemed like she was someone reputable. She pointed at the river frantically. Chen Hao saw a little girl iling in the water. It was clear that this woman rushed to rescue her daughter when her daughter fell into the water. However, this woman could not swim, causing her to scream for help gracelessly. Chen Hao noticed that the struggles of the little girl had faltered and she was sinking under the water. He knew that the little girl didn¡¯t have much time. Without hesitation, he ran forward and jumped into the river. Chen Hao lived in a small vige at the outskirts of town when he was young. There was a river in the vige where Chen Hao learned to swim. Fortunately, this area of the city moat was not deep. On top of that, the little girl might have learned some basic swimming skills previously, so Chen Hao managed to rescue the little girl. When the little girl was dragged out of the water, she coughed out some water. Her face was red due to the suffocation. Her mother was worried to death. She patted on the little girl¡¯s back while thanking Chen Hao repeatedly. ¡°We should call 120!¡± ¡°Absolutely, the girl is too young. Geez, how could you let your child go near the water without your supervision?¡± Several residents came after they heard the noises. Some of them were busy calling for aid while a few women reproached the young mother. ¡°Please don¡¯t me my mother. Uncles and aunties, it¡¯s not my mother¡¯s fault, it was me who insisted on putting the wishing boat into the river. My mother did not do anything wrong!¡± The little girl, named Tian, defended her mother when she heard that her mother was being criticized. ¡°What an obedient child!¡± ¡°Indeed, such a sweetie. Madam, you should keep an eye on your child. If it wasn¡¯t for this young man, the consequences might have been disastrous!¡± ¡°Young man, you¡¯re a hero!¡± The residents looked at the bedraggled Chen Hao withud. The mother held the hand of the frail little girl and brought her to Chen Hao. ¡°Young man, thank you so much. What is your name and where do you live?¡± She asked for Chen Hao¡¯s address so that she could reward him. Chen Hao understood, but he refused to ept any reward. Chen Hao believed that most of the people would do the same if they were in his ce. Thus, he waved his hands and rejected. ¡°No worries, it¡¯s better if you send your daughter to the hospital as soon as possible!¡± Chen Hao gradually walked out of the crowd while he was speaking. ¡°Big brother, can we meet again?¡± Tian suddenly spoke feebly. She felt like she was at the brim of death just moments ago. She was petrified but Chen Hao had jumped to her rescue regardless of his own safety and it brought a light of hope to her. Hence, she asked him softly. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°We will!¡± Chen Hao did not want to let the little girl down. He smiled and left, ignoring the calls of the young mother. This incident was just a short interlude. Chen Hao ran back to the roadside. It had been 20 minutes since Su Tongxin went to buy milk tea. Su Tongxin must havepleted her purchase now. However, there was no sight of Su Tongxin at the roadside. Huh? Why did she take so long to buy a drink? He took out his phone. It was all wet. He realized it had switched off due to the water. Perhaps Su Tongxin went back to the car dealer shop alone after she failed to reach me. He went to search for her in the milk tea cafe but she was not there. Chen Hao could only return to the car dealer shop to try his luck. At this moment, Wang Qiang called him. He called to inform Chen Hao that the car repair had beenpleted. 40 minutes was sufficient for a few professional technicians to rece the damaged parts of the car. ¡°Manager Wang, did the girl who came with me go back to this shop?¡± ¡°Huh? She¡¯s not here! After she left with you, she did note back! What happened, Young Master Chen? Is there any trouble? I¡¯ll be at your service!¡± ¡°Thanks, Manager Wang. It¡¯s nothing!¡± Chen Hao hung up the phone. He was perplexed. That¡¯s strange, where would Su Tongxin have gone? It was not possible that she had gone back. She would not leave without him. She was not here, and she was not at the car dealer shop either. Where else could she go? Chen Hao searched for her nearby, but she was nowhere to be found. After an hour of searching, Chen Hao started to panic. Su Tongxin went out with him, could it be that she had met with trouble? He hadn¡¯t thought that it was possible because he was just nearby all this while. But his effort was fruitless. The more Chen Hao thought, the more cold sweat seeped out. Chen Hao had no choice but to return to the car dealer shop. He wanted to see if he could turn on his phone. After a few attempts, the phone was turned on. The notifications showed that Su Tongxin had called him several times and even messaged him. Unfortunately, his phone was turned off. Chen Hao quickly returned her calls. To his dismay, Su Tongxin was unreachable. What happened? Chen Hao could no longer remain calm. He called Su Tongxin¡¯s house but was told that she had not returned home! Something was wrong! Chen Hao raised his head abruptly. Everything was out of control! ¡°Manager Wang, do you know the manager of the milk tea cafe? I need to check on the surveince camera! Quick!¡± Chen Hao stood up immediately. Wang Qiang stayed beside Chen Hao ever since Chen Hao came back to the shop. When he heard that Young Master Chen¡¯s girlfriend might be in trouble, he did not dy in reacting. He nodded hastily and said that he knew the manager. He then led Chen Hao to the milk tea cafe. After inspecting the surveince camera¡¯s yback, Chen Hao was clear of the entire incident. It happened two hours ago. After Su Tongxin bought the milk tea, she realized that Chen Hao was not there. She quickly called Chen Hao, but his phone was not in service. Su Tongxin was anxious. She squatted at the side and waited for 10 minutes, but Chen Hao did not appear. At this moment, a ck Passat stopped beside Su Tongxin. A young man with a cap got out of the car. ¡°Are you Su Tongxin?¡± the man asked smilingly. Su Tongxin nodded. ¡°And you are?¡± ¡°Hi, I am an Uber driver. Young Master Chen had something important to attend to so he left earlier. He informed me to send you back to Yun Gui Community,¡± the man with the duckbill cap said with a smile. While he was speaking, he nced toward the direction of the city moat without anyone noticing. ¡°Oh, thank you. I¡¯ll give Chen Hao another call. Why did he turn off his phone?¡± To be honest, when the man mentioned Chen Hao and her name, Su Tongxin did not suspect any further. She was not sure of Chen Hao¡¯s background, but he must have had an emergency since he left without a word. He was probably worried about her safety, hence he had called someone to fetch her back. On top of that, this man knew she stayed in Yun Gui Community. Chen Hao must have told him that. With all this information, Su Tongxin did not doubt him. However, she felt uneasy that she was unable to contact Chen Hao but none of the calls she made reached him. ¡°Miss Su Tongxin, are youing? I have another errand to run!¡± The driver pressed her. ¡°Oh, let¡¯s go! Just send me home first!¡± Su Tongxin did not want to waste the time of others. She got into the car. She was slightly mad at Chen Hao for leaving without a call. I know how to take a taxi home! The car left. 10 minutester, Chen Hao appeared in his drenched clothes. ¡°Stop! Rewind the video! Erge the face of the driver!¡± Chen Hao suddenly shouted. The owner of the milk tea cafe did not know the identity of Chen Hao, but he did not dare to snub Chen Hao since Manager Wang, who was the bigwig in this area, treated Chen Hao reverently. He obeyed Chen Hao¡¯s instruction to rewind and erge the face of the driver. Chen Hao carefully observed the driver. The driver¡¯s face was hidden under the cap and he had some stubble at the corner of his lips. But Chen Hao recognized the driver. It was him?! Chapter 78 Chen Hao Was Anxious Chapter 78 Chen Hao Was Anxious Ning Fan! Chen Hao recognized that the man in the surveince video was Ning Fan from the Ning Family after he erged the screen. No matter how hard Ning Fan tried to disguise himself, Chen Hao could still recognize the smile of Ning Fan. Ning Fan was the biggest culprit who caused the breakup of Chen Hao and Yang Xia. Moreover, Ning Fan had been targeting Chen Hao during Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday party and at Imperial KTV. Out of anger, Chen Hao had contacted Li Zhenguo to give Ning Fan a lesson. However, his elder sister found out about this incident. Instead of a small lesson, she made the entire Ning Family go bankrupt. In the end, Ning Fan was brought away by someone from the entrance of Hot Spring Vi. Henceforth, the Ning Family was destroyed. They surrendered Ming Huang Restaurant and Zhuang Family took over the business. Ning Fan became a pauper from a rich heir overnight. He did not even know how it happened. But now¡­ why did Ning Fan abduct Su Tongxin? Chen Hao was bewildered. Did he abduct her solely to extort money? ording to this situation, it did not seem to be like that. In the video, he told Su Tongxin something which convinced her to get into his car. Furthermore, Chen Hao noticed a detail. When Ning Fan was talking to Su Tongxin, he was peeping at the direction where I left. It looked like he was worried that I might return suddenly. If that was the case, did Ning Fan n this abduction with the motive to ckmail me? The only logical reason for Ning Fan¡¯s actions was he had figured out that I was the reason for his family¡¯s bankruptcy and he plotted to take revenge on me. Regardless of his motives, Chen Hao was certain that Su Tongxin was in danger, great danger! Chen Hao was racking his brain for a countermeasure. At this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. It was from an unidentified number. Chen Hao immediately picked up the call. ¡°Hello, Chen Hao, or should I call you Young Master Chen? Do you remember me?¡± A callous and smug voice came from the other end. ¡°Ning Fan, it really is you!¡± Chen Hao recognized his voice the second he heard him. ¡°Not bad, I didn¡¯t expect that I would be remembered by a young master like you. Isn¡¯t it dramatic? Chen Hao, we thought you were just a poor loser in the past. Who knew that you were a wealthy person and the owner of Jin Ling Commercial Street! I thought my dad was powerful, but he was just your employee! If I hadn¡¯t eavesdropped the conversation between Li Zhenguo and you over the phone when I nned to take revenge on Li Zhenguo, I would have never known that you were the culprit who destroyed my family with just one word!¡± ¡°But Young Master Chen, why did you fuss over me since you were so wealthy? It¡¯s true that I made Lu Chen snatch your girlfriend, I was wrong! But how could you destroy my family, leaving me with nothing? How could you be so cruel?!¡± Chen Hao responded calmly, ¡°I thought I was cruel too at first. But I don¡¯t think so now!¡± ¡°Ning Fan, regardless, this is our business. Tongxin is innocent, let her go. I¡¯ll meet you and I¡¯ll agree to all your conditions!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, how arrogant of you to speak like that! Indeed, I plotted to take revenge on you. Initially, my n was to crash my car into you and we would perish together. But when I thought about it, I felt that it was too boring. Now that I have a beautiful girl beside me now, it would be worth it if I could have some fun with her! Chen Hao, isn¡¯t she your girlfriend? Come, I¡¯ll let you listen to her voice!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯te for me! He is a psychopath!¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Don¡¯te!¡± Su Tongxin sobbed uncontrobly while speaking. Chen Hao was extremely anxious. Although he was just pretending to be Su Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend, he was the one who brought her out. And Su Tongxin was abducted because Ning Fan wanted to take revenge on him. It was all because of him. ¡°Chen Hao, if you want to save your girlfriend, meet me at the abandoned building in South City. Don¡¯t try to contact Li Zhenguo, it¡¯s useless. If theye, I¡¯ll kill your girlfriend and we¡¯ll die together! Meet me within an hour!¡± Toot toot¡­! Ning Fan ended the call. Chen Hao¡¯s face was ashen. He was right! His identity was exposed and it caught Ning Fan¡¯s attention. Then Ning Fan went insane and plotted this n against him to wreak vengeance. Chen Hao was certain that Ning Fan would do anything to get back at him but his strength alone was not enough to fight against Ning Fan. He had to seek help from Li Zhenguo to settle this issue. Chen Hao quickly called Li Zhenguo and Li Zhenguo put great attention on this matter. Li Zhenguo emphasized repeatedly that Chen Hao should wait for his arrival before taking any actions. He warned Chen Hao not to act recklessly. If Chen Hao was harmed in any way, he would have to resign from his position, or even bid farewell to this world! Chen Hao hung up the phone before Li Zhenguo could finish his sentence. He rushed back to the car dealer shop with Wang Qiang, and told Wang Qiang to wait for Li Zhenguo at the shop. He had to leave now. ¡°Look, isn¡¯t that Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Damn, it really is him! Why is he here at the Lamborghini shop?¡± ¡°I heard that the shop is hiring for sales representatives. Perhaps he came to apply for the position. Didn¡¯t he know that the shop has extremely high requirements for their candidates?¡± ¡°Exactly. Look at him, he reeks of poverty even though he won a lottery. Disgusting! He¡¯s too disgusting for my eyes!¡± Chen Hao was not prepared for the ridicule when he stepped into the shop. Chen Hao had mixed feelings. He took a nce at them. It was Zhuang Qiang and his ssmate, Li Hao. They had brought their pretty girlfriends to look at the cars. Most importantly, those who came with them were Li Nian and Zheng Qianqian, who were in the same faculty as Chen Hao. ¡°Speak of the devil. Cousin, you should have told me that he was the one who dampened your mood in the past. I would have told you all the stories I¡¯ve heard about him!¡± Li Nian told Li Hao smilingly. ¡°Indeed! Even I was attracted to Chen Hao some time ago, let alone you, cousin!¡± Zheng Qianqian was now Li Nian¡¯s girlfriend. Through Li Nian, she met Li Hao, who naturally introduced her to a powerful young master like Zhuang Qiang. It was an enormous eye-opener for her. A while back, she was told that Chen Hao was wealthy during a meal with Wang Yang and the others. Zheng Qianqian was tempted. She tried to approach Chen Hao and even wanted to have a one night stand with him. However, Chen Hao was cold toward Zheng Qianqian, causing her to be dispirited for a while until she was invited to a gathering by Li Nian. There, she met Li Hao and Young Master Zhuang, and since then, she felt like she had entered a whole new world. Was this the life of an actual wealthy person? As for Chen Hao, who won a lottery, he was just a disgusting poor loser! Zhuang Qiang was ring at Chen Hao as well. He said, ¡°Maybe he has spent all his money, and that¡¯s why he is looking for a job desperately. Let¡¯s not talk about him, I¡¯ll tell you more about this Revent¨®n instead!¡± They then gathered around the Lamborghini Revent¨®n that was just repaired and expressed their admiration. Chen Hao ignored them. He was overwhelmed with anxiety about Su Tongxin¡¯s safety. He did not have the time to care about their opinions. Beep beep! The car unlocked. Chen Hao pushed Zheng Qianqian away, who was standing by the door and got into the car. He started the engine and sped out of the car dealer shop in a sh. Zhuang Qiang was stupefied. Zheng Qianqian who was about to bellow was also stunned. In short, all 6 of them stood there in shock. Chen Hao drove the car away? That car belonged to Chen Hao? What!!! How was that possible!!! Zheng Qianqian felt like she was pped. ¡°Look! Someone stole the car!¡± Zheng Qianqian shouted. ¡°Inform everyone immediately that we are closing our shop today. Dismiss all the staff with less than 5 years of working experience and clear the crowds now! A few important subordinates of Young Master Chen will be arriving shortly!¡± Wang Qiang instructed his secretary hastily. He did not even nce at Zheng Qianqian and the group. The secretary hurried off. Zhuang Qiang and the rest were still standing there in confusion. Screak! Suddenly, there were sounds of car braking from the outside. Almost a dozen Rolls-Royce Phantoms stopped at the entrance of the car dealer shop. Soon afterward, Li Zhenguo got down from the car and rushed into the shop¡­ Chapter 79 Ning Fan Was Shocked Chapter 79 Ning Fan Was Shocked ¡°Li Zhenguo? Uncle Li!¡± Zhuang Qiang was astounded to see Li Zhenguo here. But he did not dare to approach Li Zhenguo and greet him when he saw the expression on his face. Besides,, Zhuang Qiang had not recovered from the impact which Chen Hao gave him. ¡°General Manager Li!¡± Wang Qiang greeted him immediately. ¡°What is the situation now? Where is Young Master Chen?¡± Li Zhenguo asked hastily. ¡°Young Master Chen left. He was afraid that it might be toote!¡± Wang Qiang replied promptly. ¡°Oh no! Quick, bring me to Young Master Chen! I can¡¯t allow Young Master Chen to be harmed today!¡± Li Zhenguo was already leading his group out while speaking. At the same time, Li Zhenguo sent a message to Chen Hao before leaving the shop. He then carefully took out an equipment with a red button and pressed it¡­ Zhuang Qiang and Zheng Qianqian were stunned. ¡°What? Y-Young Master Chen?¡± It was clear to them that the Young Master Chen which Li Zhenguo mentioned was Chen Hao! Chen Hao was Young Master Chen? Young Master Chen was Chen Hao? They were aghast. Everyone had heard the name ¡®Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Commercial Street'', for the news had spread widely recently. However, none of them had thought of the possibility that he could be¡­ Indeed! Chen Hao was rushing when he came into the shop, and he did not even respond to their taunts. He just drove away, and the car that he drove was the Lamborghini Revent¨®n. That was his car! They shed back to the time when Chen Hao booked the most expensive room in Hot Spring Vi and treated everyone to a meal. He spent his money extravagantly! How could they not understand that Chen Hao was the Young Master Chen?! Zhuang Qiang almost sat on the floor in despair. He asked the sales advisor beside him in disbelief, ¡°Is Chen Hao the Young Master Chen which was mentioned by Manager Wang and General Manager Li? And that car belongs to him?¡± The sales advisor nodded in reverence. ¡°Yes, don¡¯t you know him?¡± Thest question was weird. The sales advisor thought, I was surprised that you had the guts to mock Young Master Chen. I thought you were even more prestigious than Young Master Chen, but it turns out that you don¡¯t have an inkling about the background of Young Master Chen! ¡°Oh my god!¡± Zhuang Qiang waspletely shocked at this moment. Zheng Qianqian was extremely embarrassed. The one whom she looked down upon was actually someone she could never reach! Now, Zheng Qianqian and the others were left with mixed emotions. They almost lost the will to live! ¡°Why don¡¯t we follow them secretly to check if it¡¯s a repeated name?¡± Li Hao and Li Nian suggested simultaneously. They would rather deceive themselves than ept reality. ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°I agree too!¡± ¡°We need to hurry, or else we¡¯ll lose them!¡± Zhuang Qiang wiped off his cold sweat and got into the car with Li Hao. Chen Hao was speeding all the way. He sped through dozens of traffic lights. Finally, he arrived at the abandoned building mentioned by Ning Fan. The building was deste. Only a few levels were built before it was abandoned due to the geography of thend. It was an issue because behind the building was where the lower reaches of Jin Ling¡¯s city moat meets. The current was extremely rapid. Long ago, the foundation on which the building was built was distant from the river. However, due to the leaching of the soil into the river, the water level had risen to the foundation. The building became dpidated and the project had to be halted! Chen Hao read about this ce in the news once. ¡°Chen Hao! You arrived early!¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Suddenly, a voice came from the top of the building. It was Ning Fan. He was looking down at Chen Hao from above. Chen Hao was filled with rage. He did not answer Ning Fan and ran to the top floor instead. Ning Fan was still wearing a duckbill cap. He was darker and sturdier than before, with stubble on his face. He looked like a city savage. Beside him, Su Tongxin was tied up tightly and her mouth was gagged with tape. ¡°Mmmm¡­¡± Su Tongxin shook her head at Chen Hao frantically. She wanted to convey her message¡ªWhy are you so foolish?! Why did youe?! Hurry and leave now! ¡°Let her go! How much money do you want? I can give them to you!¡± Chen Hao said indifferently. ¡°Money? Chen Hao, do you really think that money is the solution to everything? I¡¯ll tell you, money is the thing I abhor the most now! Of course, nothing can surpass the hatred toward you in my heart! I don¡¯t want anything else now, I just want your life!¡± ¡°Although I yed dirty, my pleasure is all that matters! Young Master Chen! From the chat between me and your girlfriend earlier, I realized that your girlfriend did not have an inkling of your real identity!¡± Chen Hao felt that he was facing a maniac who had lost his mind. Ning Fan was rich in the past. He was puffed up with pride and arrogance and he had no consideration for others. Now that he was in dire poverty, he went to the extreme. ¡°Su Tongxin, let me tell you the truth today?! The one standing in front of you, is not just anyone, but the wealthiest person in Jin Ling, or must I say, the whole country! The entire Jin Ling Commercial Street belongs to him!¡± Su Tongxin stared in disbelief after she heard Ning Fan. She was having doubts earlier, but she was still surprised when her doubts were confirmed. If that was the truth, Chen Hao was the one who had been helping her family all this while! ¡°Ning Fan, you better let her go! If you free her, I will give you a sum of money. Otherwise, you¡¯ll regret it!¡± ¡°Regret? Chen Hao, I was as deluded as you are now. I thought money was the ultimate solution in this world, but now, I will wake you up from your sweet dream. Money is not all-powerful! I will never let her go! I will make you watch while she falls to her death!¡± Ning Fan¡¯s emotions were out of control after he shouted. He grabbed Su Tongxin and was about to push her off the building. Buzz! At this very moment, there were roarsing from the sky, intense and rapid. Ning Fan, who went berserk, could not believe what he saw. Even Chen Hao was stunned. Around 20 to 30 ck helicopters had appeared and they were positioning themselves around the building. They hovered across the sky rapidly and surrounded the building. Immediately after that, the helicopters shot numerousrges and thes connected with each other. It was a spectacr sight. If anyone jumped from the building, they would be caught in thes. ¡°Chen Hao! You¡ª!¡± Ning Fan was outraged and almost spat a mouthful of blood after he saw this sight. Money was not almighty. Ning Fan could understand this sentence profoundly now. He wanted to prove to Chen Hao, who was an extremely rich person, that he was right. But he did not anticipate that this would happen. More than 20 helicopters? Only 20 minutes had passed since Chen Hao arrived, and it was only 40 minutes ago when he called Chen Hao. From where did he assemble this many helicopters? It was impossible to die with thes surrounding the building now even if they jumped! Chen Hao was shocked as well. He did not expect that the message he received from Li Zhenguo on the way here could bring such a jaw-dropping effect. ¡°Young Master Chen! Please don¡¯t act rashly! You just need to buy some time, just 30 minutes is sufficient! Everything will be fine!¡± Li Zhenguo had always handled issues steadily. There was no reason for Li Zhenguo to lie to him in this situation. Hence, Chen Hao trusted him. It had been more than 40 minutes since Chen Hao made his way to this building. Chen Hao had not surrendered but he did not expect that sending more than 20 helicopters here was the solution which Li Zhenguo mentioned! Chen Hao was dumbfounded by the stupendous sight. ¡°Ouch!¡± Ning Fan, who was lost for reaction, suddenly yelped in pain. He covered his neck and copsed onto the floor with his whole body trembling. Even at this point, he was ring at Chen Hao with his red eyes, refusing to resign to his defeat. Just a few secondster, a helicopternded on top of the building. Li Zhenguo rushed down from the helicopter. ¡°Young Master Chen, you must be frightened!¡± Li Zhenguo said hastily. He was indeed frightened. Nheless, Chen Hao hurried to loosen the rope on Su Tongxin. He then walked toward Li Zhenguo. ¡°Zhenguo, did you assemble all these helicopters?¡± Chen Hao asked in surprise. ¡°Yes, I employed the ultimate support force of the family. I was worried that you might be in danger today. Ahem, I thought that it was time to let you know how powerful your family is! This will be myst service to you,¡± Li Zhenguo said while smiling bitterly. Chapter 80 Shocking News Chapter 80 Shocking News Chen Hao and Su Tongxin were slightly frightened but they were safe. As for Ning Fan, he was turned over to the police. Presently, at the bottom of the building, Zhuang Qiang, Li Hao and the rest had arrived. They were utterly shocked by the sight. They were speechless. Was this the power of Young Master Chen? There were more than 20 helicopters! ¡°Zhenguo, what do you mean by yourst service?¡± Chen Hao was taken aback by thest sentence of Li Zhenguo. As much as he wished to understand more about his family right now, he could not ignore the fact that Li Zhenguo was bidding farewell to him. ¡°Yes, Young Master Chen. This equipment is used to deploy the family¡¯s ultimate support force. I used it today because I was afraid that you might be harmed. Even though these helicopters were still a distance away from Ning Fan at that time, he would have been taken down immediately if he had made a move. These forces had considered all possibilities and came up with solutions for each scenario to rescue you.¡± ¡°However, it only means that I was derelict in my duty once I summoned them. Hence, I will need to resign from this position immediately,¡± Li Zhenguo said dejectedly. Nevertheless, there was no sign of regret on his face! To be honest, Chen Hao felt that he was to be med because he was the reason that this whole incident happened. His sister was right about never showing any mercy toward an enemy but he did not take it seriously at that moment. This incident proved that she was right. He did not get rid of Ning Fanpletely previously, so now, he faced the violent revenge from Ning Fan who had figured out his identity. Even though Ning Fan was not a threat to them now, the mere thought of this incident scared him still. If he had not bought enough time, Su Tongxin, who was innocent, would have been dead because of him! Even so, he implicated Li Zhenguo to resign. ¡°Zhenguo, you don¡¯t have to resign. I¡¯ll exin this to my sister!¡± Chen Hao said. Right at this moment, his elder sister, Chen Xiao, called him. ¡°Chen Hao, are you alright? I hope you are not frightened,¡± Chen Xiao said in a concerned tone. ¡°Sister, how did you get the news so fast?¡± ¡°Of course! The ultimate support force was deployed, so how could I not know? You have to act with more caution in the future!¡± ¡°I got it. And sister, can Li Zhenguo stay? He did it to save me after all,¡± Chen Hao asked promptly. ¡°Impossible. He did notplete the mission I gave him. ording to the family rule, he has to resign! It was his job to save you with his life!¡± Chen Xiao said in an overbearing manner. Li Zhenguo, who was beside Chen Hao, heard him clearly. He was grateful to Chen Hao. At the same time, he did not feel the least bit angry toward Chen Xiao. Instead, he was even more reverent toward Chen Xiao. Indeed, whatever he had now was granted by the Chen Family. Even his life was saved by Chen Family, and they made him into what he was today. But he failed to ensure the young master¡¯s safety and he did not get rid of the hidden threat. He let them down by defaulting in his duty. ¡°Well, I can¡¯t retain Li Zhenguo, but you can take him in if you want. The family rule did not forbid others from assigning him a new job.¡± Chen Xiao thought that Chen Hao would feel guilty if Li Zhenguo was fired because of him, so she gave a suggestion. ¡°Really?¡± Chen Hao was delighted. ¡°Yes, provided that you build your own business. Otherwise, he won¡¯t be able to stay! Once you set up apany, you may employ Li Zhenguo to help you. That¡¯s the only way!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Chen Hao was relieved that Li Zhenguo did not have to leave. Right now, Li Zhenguo was overwhelmed by his gratitude toward Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen¡­¡± Li Zhenguo could not find any words to describe how grateful he was. He could only utter these three words sincerely from his heart. Young Master Chen was not obliged to speak for him, but Young Master Chen was willing to plea on behalf of someone like him. Li Zhenguo felt that he was unable to repay his kindness. Henceforth, Chen Hao would be the direct superior of Li Zhenguo! Li Zhenguo walked beside Chen Hao, preparing to tell him about his family. ¡°Young Master Chen, we seized a few furtive people downstairs. What should we do about them?¡± A man in ck approached Chen Hao. ¡°Let me have a look!¡± Chen Hao nodded. Downstairs. ¡°Let us go! We are Chen Hao¡¯s ssmates. You can¡¯t kill us!¡± Li Nian wailed. He was still shocked by the spectacr scene earlier. He was afraid that they might kill him. ¡°Exactly! Did you know that I almost became Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend? How dare you treat me rudely!¡± Zheng Qianqian also shouted. Just a few moments ago on the top of the building, they witnessed how respected Chen Hao was. They were greatly floored. Zhuang Qiang, Li Hao and the rest behaved themselves at once. Their faces went pale in fright. ¡°Let them go¡­¡± Chen Hao wasing down the stairs. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear him? Let us go at once!¡± Zheng Qianqian screamed. Chen Hao was really the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling City, the one who owned Jin Ling Commercial Street! My god, this was incredible! She was too surprised! Zheng Qianqian felt that she was on cloud nine! ¡°Chen Hao! Chen Hao! I always knew that you were different from all these people. I was wrong in the past, I really was! I have been trying to get your attention by constantly mocking you, but I did that because I like you, even though you don''t like me!¡± Zheng Qianqian dashed toward Chen Hao and wormed herself into Chen Hao¡¯s favor. Chen Hao felt goosebumps all over his body. What?! What an absurd exnation! She mocked me to attract my attention? ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± At this moment, both Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao¡¯s new girlfriends, who were at the side, addressed Chen Hao with extreme respect. They were respectful to the extent that they would do anything and everything Chen Hao told them to! The scene resembled those of a movie where the big boss could do anything he pleased. However, some wicked ideas shed across Chen Hao¡¯s mind only a split second. He had never been a tyrannical person. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Young Master Chen, what do you want to do with them? In certain times, you can take necessary measurements!¡± Li Zhenguo, who was beside him, hinted at Chen Hao. After all, they knew the true identity of Young Master Chen now! ¡°No no no! Young Master Chen, I mean, Chen Hao, you are still that poor Chen Hao. We don¡¯t know you, and we have absolutely forgotten about the incident today!¡± Zhuang Qiang kneeled down at once and said. He was the cleverest among them, so he immediately understood what Li Zhenguo meant. ¡°Yes, we don¡¯t know that you are Young Master Chen!¡± Li Hao and Li Nian imed loudly. ¡°It would be great if all of you can forget what happened today. It will prevent troubles in the future!¡± Chen Hao said calmly and left. Since they promised to keep whatever happened today a secret, Chen Hao would not get rid of them just because they knew his identity. The incident today was over without any harm befalling anyone. Li Zhenguo told Chen Hao about his family in private. Li Zhenguo briefly told Chen Hao that the Chen Family originated from a few centuries ago and they owned innumerous properties and assets! This caused the Chen Family to establish a long list of family rules, and the procedures to inherit the Chen Family business were even more tedious. Chen Hao¡¯s life in poverty for the past years was the first test to this inheritance! In the future, Chen Hao would face countlessplicated challenges. Li Zhenguo warned Chen Hao to be fully prepared and embrace the challenges. ¡­¡­ After that, Chen Hao sent Su Tongxin back. He then drove to the college and stopped his car nearby the college entrance. The car attracted the attention of the girls. Some of them even screamed in excitement. Chen Hao was used to these reactions. Honestly, Chen Hao felt that he was acting like a scum. Although he was wealthy now, he still felt uneasy to unt in public. No matter how much he had changed, Chen Hao was still the humble person who yearned for a He was unwilling to drive this eye-catching car everywhere. It seemed like he needed to buy himself a house in Jin Ling now. He could then leave his car in the house and it would be more convenient if he were to set up a Most importantly, he could study, rest and enjoy his college life as a normal student! Chen Hao sat in the car and deliberated his ns. Suddenly, the ss¡¯s group chat burst with messages. ¡°Shocking news! Everyone, look! This is extremely shocking!¡± Image sent. Image sent. ¡°¡­¡­¡± The images kepting. A student from the ss shared loads of images that he captured to the group chat! Chapter 81 Battle of the New Star Anchor of Live Stream Chapter 81 Battle of the New Star Anchor of Live Stream Over ten images were shared to the group chat. These images created a huge stir in the group chat. ¡°Unbelievable! These images must be fake, they must be photoshopped! They look like images from Hollywood movies!¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Absolutely! Look at those helicopters! How magnificent!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this the abandoned building in South City? Why did so many helicopters fly there and surround the entire building?¡± They were discussing intensely in the group chat. ¡°I am not clear of the actual situation. We were on our way to that area for a pic when we took these photos. These photos did not capture the real atmosphere. You should experience it at the actual scene! It was extremely spectacr!¡± ¡°Amazing! Do you have a video of it?¡± ¡°I did not dare to record it! There were many people securing the building. I was afraid that they might notice me, so I just took a few photos and left!¡± ¡°That¡¯s too bad!¡± Everyone was discussing it. At this moment, their tutor Meng Cairu, who had not said anything, suddenly interrupted, ¡°This is true. Many people captured the photos of these helicopters flying in teams toward South City in the afternoon. But all these pictures vanished from the inte in less than an hour!¡± ¡°These are not military helicopters. They look like private ones. Someone mentioned that these helicopters were weing a young master!¡± ¡°Damn damn damn!¡± The group chat was even more heated. ¡°Which young master? How wealthy is he?¡± Chen Hao was scrolling through the pictures in his car. A bitter smile appeared on his face. These helicopters came for me. If I exposed my identity, how would they react? It would surely be wickedly interesting¡­ At this time, Meng Cairu added, ¡°Guys, don¡¯t obsess over it. Oh, and don¡¯t forget that Han Siyu¡¯s battle for the SameCity popr star chart will start in one hour. All of you are her ssmates, so we should support her with our presence if we can¡¯t offer her mary support!¡± ¡°Look at Han Siyu who is already earning over 10,000 a month even before she graduates. I will watch the livestream of Siyu this afternoon!¡± ¡°Alright, Miss!¡± ¡°No problem! We will give our fullest support!¡± Everyone showed their support. ¡°Thank you everybody, lots of kisses to all of you! If I can reach a high position in the battle chart, I will treat everyone to a meal! Love you, my darlings!¡± Han Siyu sent a voice message to the group chat. All the dramatic ssmates howled at the sweetness of her voice. Chen Hao also secretly ced his phone to his ear and listened to the coquettish voice of Han Siyu in the car. At the same time, the image of Han Siyu with fair skin and delicate face appeared in his mind. She was indeed extraordinarily beautiful. Although Han Siyu despised Chen Hao to the extreme, it was undeniable that he was attracted to this beautiful girl. Since everyone will be supporting her, I¡¯ll join them too. Anyway, I still have some 100,000 in the SameCity Live Streaming app. It would be a waste to not spend it since the money is not retrievable. ¡°@Chen Hao, are you there?¡± Meng Cairu suddenly mentioned Chen Hao. Chen Hao immediately replied to her. ¡°Since you are not able to support Han Siyu¡¯s livestream, why don¡¯t you gather the underprivileged group in our ss to help me move my stuff? I¡¯ll be waiting for you guys at the West Entrance!¡± Shit! Chen Hao was furious when he saw this message. Meng Cairu was just 25 years old. She was a new tutor who had just graduated from college. Usually, she despised the poor and curried favour with the rich. She liked to mingle with the wealthy students, and she was more of a friend than a tutor to them. However, she was stern toward Chen Hao and the other poor students, always acting like a strict tutor to them. The underprivileged group, as the name suggested, was formed of five or six poor students in the ss. Sadly, Chen Hao was the group leader of the underprivileged group because he was the poorest, yet the most gullible. Also, he did most of the tasks in the group! Hence, Meng Cairu picked him as the group leader. Presently, even though Meng Cairu knew that Chen Hao won a lottery and could afford to pay for the tuition fee, she still thought of Chen Hao as a poor student because she was so used to him being poor. When a person had been poor all this while, others would still think that the person was poor although the person might have be wealthy. Meng Cairu was a typical example of that because to her, Chen Hao did not seem like someone wealthy! Chen Hao agreed atst despite the fact that he was furious. What do I tell her if I refuse to help? Chen Hao mentioned all the members in the underprivileged group chat and informed them to gather at the West Entrance. He then parked his car to a concealed ce and went to the West Entrance. ¡°Chen Hao, why does the tutor always ask us to move stuff around?¡± ¡°Exactly. And Chen Hao, didn¡¯t you win the lottery and became wealthy? Why are you still the leader of the underprivileged group?¡± The group had only five members including Chen Hao. Three of them were boys and two were girls. The boy named Wang Yue was skinny and weak. He had tan skin. He usually did not talk much and was always studying. One of the girls was named Hao Lan. She wore sses, had fair skin and a small build but she seemed astute. Even so, due to their background of poor families, they were self-abased. They felt like they were inferiorpared to other students. Hence, they were always quiet. They only talked when they were with Chen Hao. It was not because they looked down upon Chen Hao, but because they felt like they were from the same world. Chen Hao understood Wang Yue and Hao Lan were expressing their anger because he was insulted in the ss¡¯s group chat. Chen Hao did not say anything although he was also mad. Perhaps he should find an opportunity to give Meng Cairu a lesson. ¡°Is everyone here? Hao Lan, go to my new lecturer room together with Li Lan and wash the wiping cloths. Chen Hao, Wang Yue and you, the three of you stay here and move my furniture together with the workers. Follow the instructions of the workers for every matter. Be careful not to damage my furniture!¡± Meng Cairu was about to leave after she finished giving instructions. At this moment, she received a call. She answered the call in detest. ¡°Jiang Menglian, what do you want? How many times do I have to tell you that I did not report you to the head of department! You should look for the real culprit! Why did you have to¡­ You are the b*tch! Watch your mouth! You and your whole family are b*tches! I can even be the lover of your husband!¡± Meng Cairu exploded just after a few sentences of conflict. Clearly, the caller hurled insults through the phone. Chen Hao overheard their conversation. Jiang Menglian was also a tutor of a ss in their faculty who came in a year earlier than Meng Cairu. Both Jiang Menglian and Meng Cairu were the pretty tutors in their department. Two people of the same quality could not tolerate each other¡¯s existence in the same area. Hence, it was natural for them to get into arguments frequently. Not to mention that Jiang Menglian was now married to a wealthy man. She was slightly ahead in every aspectpared to Meng Cairu. The frequency of their rows had increased. Meng Cairu must not have felt satisfied even after shouting down the phone. Thus, she red at Chen Hao coldly. ¡°What are you looking at? Get to work now!¡± She left furiously after this sentence. Chen Hao was enraged. He wished he could punish her violently but there was nothing he could do other than carry out the work as Meng Cairu had instructed. There were loads of furniture to be moved. When they finally finished their task, an hour had passed. Right at this moment, the group chat burst with messages again. ¡°Hello my darlings, I am starting my livestream now,e quickly. From now till 10pm, I¡¯ll be counting on you guys to support me as the new star anchor of SameCity Live Streaming app.¡± Han Siyu mentioned all the members in the group chat. At once, the group chat and Han Siyu¡¯s live streaming room entered a heated stage. Chen Hao was also done with the task. He saw Meng Cairu sitting on the bedside and focusing on her phone. After Chen Hao settled down on a sofa, he entered the live streaming room of Han Siyu as well. Chapter 82 Chen Hao Was Mocked in the Live Streaming Room Chapter 82 Chen Hao Was Mocked in the Live Streaming Room With Han Siyu¡¯s invitation, all her ssmates and the two or three thousand fans she gained during this period of time rushed into her live streaming room. Innumerous messages popped up on the public screen. After she signed the live streaming contract, Han Siyu had learned a lot of things and enhanced her live streaming skills. She was adept in interacting with the audience as well as performing her talents. ¡°My darlings, I could really use a round of gifts now! Lots of kisses to all of you!¡± ¡°Here is a big kiss for my darlings! Let me sing a song called ¡®Meow Meow Meow¡¯ for my darlings!¡± The fans responded, ¡°Wow! Siyu, you are the most beautiful girl! I love your voice!¡± ¡°Ordinary Guy! Jiu Jiang! Both our rich bosses! Please show your support to Siyu, the battle will be starting soon!¡± ¡°We are waiting!¡± Han Siyu smiled sweetly. She used a filter and she appeared as a kitty. ¡°Let us learn the meows of cats, meow meow meow meow meow, I¡¯ll be spoiled in your arms, meow meow meow meow meow¡­¡± Jiu Jiang gifted a rocket! Jiu Jiang gifted a rocket! Jiu Jiang gifted a rocket! At the same time, Jiu Jiang sent the gifts continuously in Han Siyu¡¯s live streaming room. The interaction in the live streaming room was warm and cordial. The atmosphere was merry. Chen Hao was watching the livestream. He actually wanted to send her gifts. However, he felt that Han Siyu hadpletely changed her style of performance. Her performance was more money-oriented and her purpose of the livestream was obvious. He could not find the naturality in her livestream that she once had. Chen Hao felt that it would be a waste to send her gifts. He would wait a while more. He lifted his head and took a nce. Meng Cairu was watching the livestream attentively. Hao Lan and the rest also gathered around to watch the livestream in envy. After all, most girls were vain. They would of course be envious. As for Chen Hao, he felt that Han Siyu¡¯s livestream was boring. He left the live streaming room and entered another female anchor¡¯s room. He came across Zuo Qiaoqiao¡¯s room. This female anchor had an audience of almost ten thousand people. She was undeniably beautiful. No wonder she had a huge army of fans supporting her. There were loads ofments in Zuo Qiaoqiao¡¯s live streaming room. At this moment, she was looking into the camera and retouching her makeup without uttering a word or interacting with the fans. Nearly 10,000 people were watching Zuo Qiaoqiao while she put on her makeup. ¡°When will you start performing?¡± Chen Hao typed on the public screen. He was looking forward to seeing this beautiful girl dance and sing. Chen Hao was a member of this live streaming app. Thus, hisments were emphasized on the public screen, and Zuo Qiaoqiao¡¯s live streaming screen trembled. ¡°The one named Ordinary Guy, are you blind?¡± Unexpectedly, Zuo Qiaoqiao frowned and bashed Chen Hao. Her attitude was extremely rude. ¡°Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m putting on my makeup? Stop prompting! Stay if you want to watch, or else you can leave!¡± Zuo Qiaoqiao scoffed coldly. Don¡¯t think that you are so awesome just because you bought a membership. I have seen many types of members and I absolutely hate people who are bossy just because they topped up some money. Furthermore, she had many VIP fans supporting her. These normal fans were nothing to her. ¡°I was just asking. Aren¡¯t you an anchor? Shouldn¡¯t you be showing some talent?¡± Chen Hao was furious. Who would not be angry if they came to enjoy a livestream but were scolded instead? However, Chen Hao was muted by the admin of the room right after hemented. ¡°Get lost! Show my *ss! Ordinary Guy, do you think that you can boss people around just because you have a membership?¡± The admin berated bluntly. At this moment, Zuo Qiaoqiao had finished touching up her makeup. She replied, ¡°Nowadays, some losers on the inte think that they can show off and be somebody once they top up some money. It might be useful to those newbies, but it doesn¡¯t work on me. Get lost!¡± ¡°How funny! Qiaoqiao is angry. This Ordinary Guy is such a clown. Doesn''t he know that Qiaoqiao is N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. now the most popr anchor in SameCity Live Streaming app?¡± ¡°Exactly, Qiaoqiao has over ten VIP fans. I heard that they were the bosses of Jin Ling City! Even Zhuang Yuan, who is the first on the chart, has a Land Rover Range Rover!¡± All the fansmented to tter Zhuang Yuan. Zhuang Yuan typed, ¡°What happened, Qiaoqiao? Are youcking gifts? I reloaded 100,000, and I¡¯ll surely cheer you up today! You can just kick this poor loser out of the room!¡± ¡°Zhuang Yuan is here!¡± Zuo Qiaoqiao immediately pushed her makeup to one side once she saw Zhuang Yuan¡¯sment. Her actions were lively and adorable. ¡°Zhuang Yuan, I was so upset. I thought you''ve abandoned me!!¡± Zuo Qiaoqiao said cutely. ¡°I would never! How could I miss your livestream?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± While Zuo Qiaoqiao was speaking with an alluring smile, she clicked her mouse. Swoop! Chen Hao was sent out of the room. ¡°Shit!¡± Chen Hao could not take it and sweared. He was enraged. He was utterly furious and frustrated. He was just trying to enjoy a livestream. Why was it so difficult? He only said two sentences and the female anchor had kicked him out after they were done insulting him. He might be the first in history to be kicked out after topping up over 100,000 in this app. He would have let it go in the past, but now that Chen Hao was using another identity, Ordinary Guy, he was still treated cruelly. He could not hold it in anymore! Should he top up some money and make them pay for their actions? That would be too easy. To be honest, when he was helping Han Siyu with her livestream, he had thought of something. He was considering his potential business developments. His sister had given him early warnings that he needed to manage everything himself in the future. Hence, Chen Hao was considering investing in small businesses for practice and to enhance his experience. Presently, Chen Hao had no knowledge about the markets of real estate andmercial street, but he was familiar and knowledgeable about the inte. He wanted to try investing in a live streaming tform. However, his consideration was halted due to the incident of Su Tongxin. But now¡­ this would be a great opportunity to kill two birds with one stone! Chen Hao then sneaked into the bathroom and called Li Zhenguo. He informed Li Zhenguo that he wanted to utilize a sum of money to invest in a live streaming tform. Of course, Li Zhenguo did not oppose his request and even promised that it would be done within an hour. Chen Hao got out of the bathroom and saw Wang Yue and the rest were watching the livestream with concentration. ¡°Chen Hao, Chen Hao! The battle has begun! Han Siyu is such a professional. Her gifts have exceeded 20,000! She even defeated two other female anchors!¡± Wang Yue said excitedly. Chen Hao nodded and reentered Han Siyu¡¯s live streaming room. Han Siyu was ted. She had been winning since the battle began and the gifts from the supporters were increasing tremendously. She was extremely satisfied! ¡°Kisses to all my darlings! I love all of you! Just hang with me for another round and I¡¯ll be promoted to the next stage!¡± Han Siyu eximed delightedly. ¡°Victory is yours!¡± The fans chanted consistently. The rules of the livestream battle were simple. Two pretty female anchors would carry out a video call on the same screen and there would be a bar below each of them, disying the number of gifts they received. The winner would be the one who received the most gifts. Thispetition was designed by the live streaming tform to lure the audience to purchase more gifts. The battle continued. Han Siyu was waiting for her contestant without showing any fear, but when the other female anchor appeared, Han Siyu¡¯s smile disappeared. Chen Hao was also surprised! Chapter 83 A Hundred Million Chapter 83 A Hundred Million This woman was the Zuo Qiaoqiao who kicked him out of her live streaming room earlier. What a coincidence, Chen Hao thought. Normally, Zuo Qiaoqiao, who was a much more popr anchor, would not be battling with Han Siyu. However, Han Siyu¡¯s poprity almost reached 7,000 now. Hence, both of them were grudgingly paired together by the system. Even so, Han Siyu knew that Zuo Qiaoqiao was more professional. After all, Zuo Qiaoqiao could be considered as the top female anchor of SameCity Live Streaming app. She knew that it would be a tough battle for her. However, Han Siyu did not give up. Regardless of anything, she would give her best in this battle. ¡°Damn, she¡¯s a newbie. She¡¯s pretty, but she can¡¯tpare to goddess Qiaoqiao! Everyone, finish her off!¡± The fans of Zuo Qiaoqiaomented. The fans of Han Siyu refused to be outdone. They pleaded for gifts. Both parties began their battle. The progression bars below the two anchors started to move intensely. The public screens of both parties were shown to both anchors¡¯ audiences. Some of the fans with bad manners started to bash the opponent¡¯s fans. Despite her fans¡¯ effort, Han Siyu was still incapable topete with Zuo Qiaoqiao. In just two minutes, her progression bar hadgged far behind Zuo Qiaoqiao¡¯s. ¡°Newbie, don¡¯t you know the rules? If you had admitted your defeat at the start of the battle like how the other anchors did, I might have interacted with you for a while and boosted your number of fans. But you insisted on digging your own grave!¡± Zuo Qiaoqiao sneered. Han Siyu¡¯s face was red with frustration because she was about to lose. But she had onest chance¡ªOrdinary Guy! ¡°Ordinary Guy, are you here? I am going to lose. I can tell that you are online. If you are here, will you please reply and support me? I don¡¯t want to lose, Ordinary Guy!¡± Han Siyu sobbed while speaking. She was overwhelmed by the sadness of her imminent defeat. She was doing very well and wascent a few moments ago, but now she was defeated in a second by Zuo Qiaoqiao. She was even humiliated by her opponent in front of her fans. It made her embarrassed. Jiu Jiang alone was definitely insufficient topete with her opponent. Han Siyu was unable to defend herself. Words could not describe her aggravation now. Thus, she thought of her savior, Ordinary Guy! The one who brought miracles to her every time! At this moment, Zuo Qiaoqiao¡¯s public screen had exploded withments. ¡°Ordinary Guy? I clicked on his profile. I think he is the same Ordinary Guy who was kicked out by Qiaoqiao just now!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him! My god, he came here to show off!¡± ¡°Pathetic! Hey, faker, do you have the guts to battle our Zhuang Yuan? We¡¯ll show you what a real wealthy person is!¡± The fans of the opponent were moring. ¡°Newbie, nothing will change even if you cry your eyes out. Let me tell you, this Ordinary Guy whom you called a wealthy person was kicked out from my room by me earlier. He just came to you as an alternative. He wouldn¡¯t dare to talk in front of me now.¡± Zuo Qiaoqiao gave a contemptuous look. Han Siyu almost suffocated from her anger. She had never been this ashamed before. ¡°Who is Ordinary Guy?¡± Chen Hao was about to request to unmute his microphone so that he could st out, but Meng Cairu had walked in with her slippers and asked. ¡°I know! Miss Meng, Ordinary Guy is Han Siyu¡¯s earliest VIP fan. It was Ordinary Guy who made it possible for Han Siyu to earn over 10,000 a month for the first time. He is extremely rich!¡± Wang Yue said. ¡°You call spending a mere 20,000 rich? I¡¯ve met some VIP fans on bigger live streaming tforms who spend over 100,000! That is what I call wealthy! Sigh, Siyu is definitely defeated. Her opponent has a huge VIP fan!¡± Meng Cairu put her phone down. She had always been paying attention to livestreams. She knew that this was a career where anyone pretty could make huge earnings. Some could even be famous. Hence, many girls could not resist the temptation of live streaming. She responded to Wang Yue calmly. She suddenly spotted Chen Hao who was at the side. ¡°Chen Hao, who allowed you to sit on my new sofa? Get up now!¡± Meng Cairu just realized that the others were sitting on stools. Only Chen Hao wasfortably sitting on her new sofa. This set of sofas was rather expensive. It costs more than 10,000 per set. She was not willing to let someone like Chen Hao sit on it! Chen Hao was frightened by Meng Cairu¡¯s shout. Isn¡¯t this just a sofa? Why can¡¯t I sit on it? But he knew that Meng Cairu despised him. Hence, Chen Hao did not waste his time to argue with her. He stood up and shifted to another ce. ¡°Hao Lan, Wang Yue and the rest can go back now. There¡¯s just some cleaning left anyway. Chen Hao can handle it alone!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t defy me. I¡¯m not picking at you but I''m doing this for your own good. Look, although you became rich after you won a lottery, how long will itst? Look at your attitude now. You aren¡¯t as hard-working and studious as before. Hao Lan and the others are always studying very hard. So, I am worried about you. I¡¯m afraid that you might fail in your lifeter on if you continue with your attitude!¡± ¡°Do you know what it means to fail in your life?¡± Meng Cairu said in a scornful tone. She had always been like this. She was obviously picking at him. However, she would always have a reason to do so. Meng Cairu was well-known for despising poor students and currying favor with the rich. She abhorred Chen Hao who was initially poor but became rich all of a sudden because of his luck. She was jealous of his fortune and often wondered why she was not as lucky as Chen Hao, who was looked down upon by everyone. Meng Cairu¡¯s thoughts were apparent although she did not say a word. Hao Lan and the rest were keen to help Chen Hao, but it was clear that Meng Cairu despised him. They could not find any way to help him without offending Meng Cairu, hence they could only leave. Meng Cairu pointed at several ces and instructed Chen Hao to clean them. She then returned to her bedroom. ¡°Clean? Clean your *ss!¡± Chen Hao threw the mop away. Meng Cairu was obviously picking on him! He was about to stand up to Meng Cairu when Han Siyu cried even louder in her live streaming room. ¡°Ordinary Guy, please answer if you¡¯re here! I don¡¯t care what other people say about you, I believe in you! Are you really abandoning me?¡± ¡°Absolutely, Ordinary Guy. Just reply to us if you are here! Show Siyu some support so that she will not be defeated so miserably!¡± Some of the fans privately messaged Chen Hao desperately. ¡°Hahaha, that loser, he wouldn¡¯t dare to do it!¡± Zuo Qiaoqiao taunted. ¡°Who says I don''t dare to?¡± At this moment, Chen Hao finally had the chance to speak. He typed on the public screen. ¡°Ordinary Guy is here! Ordinary Guy came!¡± The audience cheered loudly. Swoosh! Soon afterward, loads of gifts were sent to Han Siyu. Those gifts cost at least 10,000 each. With just one person¡¯s effort, he managed to turn the tables. Zuo Qiaoqiao was shocked. What? This Ordinary Guy is really a wealthy person? He had a hundred thousand too? ¡°Damn! He must have stolen the money from his parents!¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°How is he so rich? Isn¡¯t he faking his wealth?¡± ¡°His money must have been stolen from someone! Zhuang Yuan is the real wealthy person!¡± ¡°Absolutely! Don¡¯t be easily fooled by these false impressions. Some people are willing to spend a hundred thousand to lure a female anchor. Once the female anchor falls into his trap, it will be over for her! She will lose both her money and dignity! This Ordinary Guy seems like this kind of scammer. Everybody, don¡¯t be intimidated by him, he will soon run out of money!¡± This scene injured the pride of Zuo Qiaoqiao¡¯s fans who mocked Chen Hao earlier. They felt ashamed but some fans promptly consoled them. Zuo Qiaoqiao also agreed with her fans. ¡°You¡¯re right. I¡¯ve never heard of a wealthy person like Ordinary Guy in SameCity Live Streaming app before!¡± Zuo Qiaoqiao was smilingcently, until she saw a striking announcement which appeared in the entire SameCity Live Streaming app. Congrattions! Mister Ordinary Guy has funded a hundred million to our app! Congrattions! Mister Ordinary Guy has funded a hundred million to our app! ¡°¡­¡­¡± Everyone was stunned speechless. This announcement was repeated countless times to ensure all the users of the app could read it. This showed how excited the SameCity Live Streaming Company was! ¡°Oh my god! A hundred million?¡± The entire live streaming app exploded. ¡°What?¡± Crash! Chen Hao, who was sitting outside, could hear the crash of a phone falling onto the floor in Meng Cairu¡¯s room. Chapter 84 This Croesus Is From Our Department Chapter 84 This Croesus Is From Our Department A hundred million! Everyone was truly stunned after reading the official announcement. Zuo Qiaoqiao was consoling herself and preparing to persuade Zhuang Yuan to send her more gifts. Zhuang Yuan had only spent 10,500 during the battle just now. The total gifts she received were estimated to be around 30,000. But Ordinary Guy was giving gifts by the 10,0000s. On top of that, he had just funded a hundred million to this live streaming tform. He was even mentioned in the official announcement. He was none other than the Ordinary Guy whom she kicked out! Zuo Qiaoqiao was filled with regret. He funded a hundred million. He was the actual Croesus! He must have been fascinated by my beauty when he came to my live streaming room. Thus, he was tactfully asking me when I would be starting my performance. But why? Why did I mock him? I even said that he was blind. He was sincerely looking forward to my performance. He did not leave although I scolded him. But I kicked him out! I kicked an actual Croesus out! Zuo Qiaoqiao was devoured in regret! Her fans were rendered speechless. They were brutally proven wrong. It felt like a knife was stabbed straight into their hearts. Why did they think that they were qualified to mock him? They could neverpare to him! Meng Cairu was shocked by the huge sum of money. She could not believe that the one who had been supporting Han Siyu was a billionaire. He could even be a trillionaire. He was spending extravagantly. To be frank, Meng Cairu was jealous of her student. She felt that she was prettier and sexier than Han Siyu, but she couldn¡¯t understand why she could not find favor with these wealthy people. She felt that her life was unfair! Chen Hao looked at the messages on the public screen and smiled. He felt indifferent. The only emotion he felt was surprise. He was surprised that Li Zhenguo invested a hundred million. But with further consideration, he understood. This amount was nothing to his sister. Even a hundred million was a small amount in Li Zhenguo¡¯s eyes. Well, what had been done was done. With some improvements, this live streaming tform might earn him a fortune, doubling a hundred million to two hundred million! Afterward, SameCity Live Streaming tform was buzzing with activity. The news of a wealthy person funding a hundred million to the app was spread through the app¡¯s forum and other information forums. Han Siyu had be even more famous due to this news. New audience kept rushing into her live streaming room and it was very packed. In SameCity Live Streaming app, 10,000 poprity would make an anchor a star anchor. But now, Han Siyu¡¯s poprity had nearly reached 50,000! Han Siyu was overwhelmed with joy and jumped around during her livestream. She was in euphoria. Her VIP fan, Ordinary Guy, became the biggest investor of SameCity Live Streaming tform. She almost exploded with pride! ¡°Ordinary Guy, which ss of the Literature Faculty are you in? May I know your name?¡± ¡°Damn! I didn¡¯t know our Literature Faculty had a Croesus. He is so rich! Who could he be?¡± Previously, during a livestream, Chen Hao mentioned that he was in the same faculty as Han Siyu, which was the Literature Faculty. Han Siyu tried to figure out his identity, but she failed. But now, he was famous. ¡®Who was Ordinary Guy?¡¯ had be the hottest topic not just in the Literature Faculty, but the entire college. He was certainly still a student, but he had the ability to invest a hundred million. How wealthy! ¡°Oh, does anyone remember the 18 million Lamborghini near the college entrance? Do you guys think that it belongs to Ordinary Guy?¡± ¡°Yes! It must be!¡± ¡°At first, everyone was blindly guessing but now, we know that he is from our Literature Faculty and is most likely a third-year student!¡± ¡°What? Who is he exactly?¡± Some of the girls even screamed in their dorms. These girls were mostly from the Literature Faculty. They were excited that there was an extremely wealthy person in their faculty! He could be in any ss. They were excited by this mere thought! Some even called their boyfriends to enquire about their family backgrounds. They wanted to find out if their boyfriend was Ordinary Guy! If any of their boyfriends were Ordinary Guy, didn¡¯t it mean that one would¡­Unfortunately, ¡®if¡¯ did not N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. exist. In the campus ground. ¡°Wang Yang, Weiwei, have you heard the news? There is a Croesus in our faculty!¡± ¡°I just got the news! Who could he be?¡± Jiang Weiwei was also anxious to find the Croesus. She was still single. It would be great if they could meet before graduating, even better if they could fall in love with each other! Wang Yang crossed his arms and posed like a wise man. ¡°This is difficult to guess. But we can obtain some clue from his username, Ordinary Guy, that it seems like he likes to keep a low profile. If that car belonged to someone who likes to unt, that person would have driven the car around to show off. But if it belonged to Ordinary Guy, who likes a humble life, it corresponds to the present situation. From these clues, we can conclude that the Lamborghini belongs to Ordinary Guy!¡± ¡°Your analysis makes sense! Who could be this wealthy in Jin Ling City?¡± someone asked again. Wang Yang smiled bitterly and sighed. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about this. There are still many covert wealthy people in Jin Ling!¡± Everyone sighed. In short, everyone was excited when they knew that the wealthy Ordinary Guy was from the Literature Faculty, including Meng Cairu. Chen Hao was listening at the side when Meng Cairu lied to Han Siyu. She said that she might know Ordinary Guy and even asked for the new WeChat ID he gave to Han Siyu. This scene left Chen Hao with mixed feelings. As expected, the reality was that everyone loved money. One could be significant because of wealth. Without it, one was just nobody. Perhaps he wanted to take revenge on Meng Cairu. Thus, Chen Hao wickedly logged into his new ount and epted Meng Cairu¡¯s friend request. ¡°Hi, Ordinary Guy. I heard that you''re from our faculty. I am Siyu¡¯s tutor and a teacher of our faculty. Have you met me before?¡± The text was followed by a smiley face. As soon as he epted her friend request, Meng Cairu messaged him. ¡°I¡¯ve met you before.¡± ¡°Really? Wow, I¡¯m excited. Well, which ss are you in?¡± Chen Hao replied with question marks, indicating that he couldn¡¯t possibly tell her. Meng Cairu responded, ¡°Oh wait, I¡¯ve forgotten that you can¡¯t tell. Sigh, you have no idea how often I wonder if you were a student in my ss. I didn¡¯t think that there would be such an excellent student in my ss!¡± Chen Hao said, ¡°Miss Meng, I think that all the students in your ss are outstanding. I am just rich. It doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯m an excellent student.¡± Although his act was immoral, Chen Hao felt that he might be out of his mind because he was oddly entertained. ¡°It¡¯s true, I¡¯m not lying to you. There isn¡¯t anyone outstanding in my ss, let alone someone as wealthy yet humble like you. But there are a few poor students. There¡¯s one who is extremely poor!¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Chen Hao cursed under his breath. Chen Hao genuinely wanted tosh out at her. The student who was extremely poor was absolutely him. In Meng Cairu¡¯s heart, he was not only economically poor, but also mentally poor! Everything about him was poor! To be honest, if he really scolded her, Meng Cairu might even feel happy. Chen Hao thought about it and decided to let it go. He should control himself. p! While he was deep in his thoughts, his head was suddenly pped¡­ Chapter 85 Cruise Party Has Begun Chapter 85 Cruise Party Has Begun It was Meng Cairu. She had approached Chen Hao when he was not paying attention. She red at Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, I don¡¯t even know what to say to you. You are bing more useless each day. You ignored my instructions to clean the ce and yed with your phone instead. Sigh, do you understand that you are only rich because you won a lottery? Those who are born wealthy are still humble and studying hard! Let me tell you, you don¡¯t have what it takes topete with others. Even worse, your mindset and your habits will cause you to live a mediocre life forever!¡± Chen Hao was taunted by Meng Cairu right after she pped him. Shit! If it was not because he added Meng Cairu¡¯s personal WeChat ID, he would have spoken up for himself. However, Chen Hao was wickedly entertained by thepletely different attitudes of Meng Cairu toward him in reality and in WeChat. He felt like a psycho. At the same time, he felt undeniably satisfied. In the end, Chen Hao did not rebut. He quickly cleaned Meng Cairu¡¯s room and went back to his dorm. On his way back, Chen Hao received new WeChat messages from Meng Cairu. ¡°Sigh! Ordinary Guy, don¡¯t you think that some students were meant to be mediocre? We have a student called Chen Hao in our ss. I¡¯m not sure if you¡¯ve heard of him before, but he is a loser who is extremely poor. One look and you would want to throw up!¡± ¡°But he is too lucky. He won a lottery and now he iscent. However, I can foresee his future through his behavior. He will never seed in life no matter how hard-working he is! God, I am so worried. Why do I have this kind of student?¡± Meng Cairu messaged him continuously to express her displeasure. Chen Hao was sinfully entertained and furious at the same time. Meng Cairu, I am your student anyhow. All these years, I¡¯ve done everything you instructed me to. But all I am to you is a student who you abhor? ¡°You b*tch!¡± Chen Hao replied to her. ¡°What happened? Ordinary Guy, I know I shouldn¡¯t bad-mouth a student as a tutor, but you¡¯ll understand me once you meet him. He is nothing more than a good-looking trash!¡± Meng Cairu did not dare to rebut in spite of being scolded. In fact, she was trying hard to exin herself. She was afraid that she might leave a negative impression on Ordinary Guy. I wonder how she would react if she knew that the student whom she abhors is chatting with her. Chen Hao smiled. He ended the conversation perfunctorily and returned to his dorm. It was Friday and there were no more sses. Normally, Yang Hui and the rest would loiter at the inte cafe. However, Han Siyu would be live streaming this afternoon and she insisted that everyone join. Hence, everyone stayed in their dorms to watch the livestream. ¡°I think Han Siyu will win this battle! That would mean she will be earning over 100,000 this month! Ordinary Guy is just fantastic! He produced a star anchor with just a move!¡± ¡°Han Siyu is now an inte influencer who is making a fortune. But look at us, we haven¡¯t even secured our internship! Sigh¡­¡± Just when Chen Hao stepped into his dorm, he heard the conversation between Yang Hui and Li Rui. They were envious and jealous at the same time. They felt ashamed that a girl was earning more than a boy. Chen Hao had anticipated this oue. Due to his investment, Han Siyu was advertised all over the official pages of the app. This had publicized Han Siyu to a wider audience. When he left her live streaming room, her poprity had almost exceeded 70,000 people. With the support of her fans and other VIP fans, she could certainly defeat all her opponents and be the top female anchor of SameCity Live Streaming app. Barring any unexpected events, she would be the champion of today¡¯s battle. ¡°Chen Hao, you are back! Oh, we retrieved your parcel when we went down to get ours this afternoon. I think there¡¯s a piece of card inside. You should check it out!¡± Yang Hui handed him a small parcel while speaking. Chen Hao was perplexed. He took the parcel and opened it while lying on the bed. It was an entrance ticket for Yun Gang Golden Beach¡¯s Cruise Party. The sender was Lin Yiyi. Chen Hao recalled the party which Lin Yiyi mentioned. It was a two-day party that started tomorrow until Sunday night. The venue was at Yun Gang City! At this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. It was from Lin Yiyi. ¡°Young Master Chen, did you receive the entrance ticket?¡± ¡°I received it. Why didn¡¯t you give it to me straight away? You didn¡¯t have to waste your time and effort to courier it to me.¡± ¡°Young Master Chen, I arrived at Yun Gang City yesterday to visit my aunt. That¡¯s when I realized that you haven¡¯t gotten your entrance ticket. I couriered it to you immediately so that they could deliver it to you overnight!¡± Ever since Lin Yiyi found out about Chen Hao¡¯s identity, she had been treating Chen Hao with deep reverence. In actuality, Lin Yiyi was forced by her parents to ingratiate Chen Hao at first. However, after they got to spend some time together, Lin Yiyi realized that she was attracted to Chen Hao¡¯s unique charm. He was a rich heir, but he did not behave tyrannically like most of the dandies. In fact, he was ordinary and humble. Lin Yiyi was tempted to understand more of Chen Hao. Therefore, she was actually d to invite Chen Hao! ¡°Are there any ces that are fun in Yun Gang other than Golden Beach?¡± ¡°There is a lot! Young Master Chen, you just need toe. When you arrive, show them your entrance ticket and they will arrange a hotel room for you. I will meet you there after you settle down!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± After a discussion, Chen Hao ended the call. To be honest, Chen Hao had never left his small town in the county seat when he was young. He only got the chance to travel to big cities such as Jin Ling to widen his horizons when he was epted at Jin Ling College. Unfortunately, Chen Hao was too poor. He could not afford to visit other cities. Should I invite Su Tongxin? Chen How asked in his heart. Their rtionship was slightly more than friends now. On second thought, Chen Hao gave up on the idea. Su Tongxin was frightened by the incident of Ning Fan, and she was not even present at college today. He should let her rest thoroughly at home. That night, Chen Hao slept early. The next day, Chen Hao woke up early in the morning. Bai Xiaofei and the rest had arrived at Yun Gang one day earlier. Chen Hao was not familiar with the directions. Therefore, he travelled by train instead of driving there. At 8am, he arrived at the entrance of Golden Beach. ¡°Good day, Sir. Kindly show us your entrance ticket!¡± Chen Hao was blocked by a beautiful female receptionist at the entrance. She was asking for his entrance ticket for validation. Moreover, the female receptionist was sizing Chen Hao up. Chen Hao was wearing his old clothes that he had just washed. Judging from his attire, the beautiful female receptionist suspected that Chen Hao might be a dolt who came to have a look around. Hence, she was driving him away with her gaze although her tone was polite. It seemed like she was saying¡ªYou may enter if you have a ticket, otherwise you should leave now! Chen Hao was aware of the derision in the female receptionist¡¯s gaze. He was baffled by the quality of these receptionists who seemed to have the same bad attitude toward him. He scoffed. Chen Hao did not back away this time. While showing the ticket to her, he took out his phone to call Bai Xiaofei who was enjoying himself inside. At the same time, he trotted in. ¡°You!¡± The beautiful female receptionist was enraged by Chen Hao¡¯s disregard but she could not find any issue on the entrance ticket. Although she suspected that he did not belong to this kind of event, she did not have any evidence. At this moment, the beautiful female receptionist stood upright perturbedly. A fleet of luxurious cars stopped at the entrance and a group of youngsters got down from the cars. ¡°I¡¯m excited! Many rich people will being here, and we can make more friends! There will be many N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. beautiful rich women too!¡± ¡°Behave yourself! Don¡¯t just aim for pretty, wealthy girls. Don¡¯t you have billions of family assets to be inherited? Why are you so hungry for wealthy girls?¡± The group walked to the entrance while joking with each other. They took out their entrance tickets. Suddenly, the boy who was moring for wealthy women jumped in anxiety. ¡°Shit, has anyone seen my entrance ticket? How could I have lost it?¡± Chapter 86 It Is Easy To Be Slapped By The Truth Chapter 86 It Is Easy To Be pped By The Truth ¡°Are you kidding? I saw you holding it just now!¡± They had reached the entrance. One of the dandies was asking him. ¡°Yes but I had to pee just now, so I stopped the car by the road and peed in the woods. I was holding the ticket in my hand when I got down, but I can¡¯t remember if I brought it back to the car after that. Dang! I must have lost it there!¡± It was clear that they were close friends even though they liked to tease him. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights. Everyone was anxious. ¡°Let¡¯s search around. At worst, we¡¯ll turn back to get the ticket¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite some distance away!¡± They were discussing a solution. They decided to exin to the female receptionist that he had an entrance ticket but it was lost, hoping that he would be allowed to enter. Unfortunately, the female receptionist rejected them. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked out and saw this group of youngsters. ¡°Are you Young Master Zhou Ze?¡± The middle-aged man was initially indifferent. As soon as he saw the one who lost the ticket, he grinned blissfully. ¡°Do you remember me? Your father, Mister Zhou Tianhao, and I had a meal in a restaurant at Suzhou. You were there that day too!¡± The middle-aged manager said with a smile. ¡°Oh, I remember! If I¡¯m not mistaken, you are the manager of a travel agency, Li Tian!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me! Is everything okay?¡± Li Tian asked smilingly. Zhou Ze was an easy-going person, hence all of them liked to joke with him. One could not easily tell that he was from a wealthy family with billions of assets in Suzhou. Furthermore, Zhou Ze was obviously the key person in this group of youngsters. Therefore, they were unwilling to leave when Zhou Ze met with an issue, especially the girls. ¡°Great, I could really use your help! Manager Li, I lost my entrance ticket on the way here but it¡¯s too troublesome to turn back and search for it. Can you help me get into the beach without a ticket?¡± Zhou Ze requested with a smile. He was sure that his problem was solved. He acted perfunctorily and was about to enter the venue. ¡°I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t allow that, Young Master Zhou!¡± Li Tian stopped him. ¡°If it was any other time, I would be fine with it! But today is an exception! I¡¯ll just tell you frankly, this cruise party may appear to be a gathering hosted by the dandy of Suzhou, Young Master Huang, for the rich dandies to have a great time. But Young Master Chen of Jin Ling City is the actual guest of Young Master Huang!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen?¡± Zhou Ze and his friends looked at each other. ¡°Ahem, you might not know who Young Master Chen is, but you must have heard of the Commercial Street in Jin Ling.¡± ¡°Of course! That ce is known as the gold mine of Jin Ling. The cash flow of that ce is unbelievable! I¡¯ve always wanted to visit the Vi, but it is too costly!¡± Zhou Ze eximed. ¡°Well, not only the Hot Spring Vi, the entire Jin Ling Commercial Street is owned by one person, which is Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Zhou Ze was astounded. The beautiful girls beside him were also shocked. Some of the dandies were indeed wealthy, but that was all their parents¡¯ money. It was extremely rare and unbelievable for a dandy like Young Master Chen to run a business of his own, not to mention such a humongous business! Those who were supporting him must be very impressive! Everyone was astonished. ¡°That is why we are manning the entrance so strictly, Young Master Zhou. We are afraid that some malicious people might sneak in or some paparazzi might capture photos illegally,¡± Li Tian exined patiently. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll turn back to search for the ticket!¡± Unfortunately, they could not find the ticket anywhere. ¡°Damn, am I really going to have to miss this party?¡± Zhou Ze said sadly. Each person could only get one entrance ticket. The ticket was not for sale, so they could not get one by simply purchasing another. At this moment, the face of the female receptionist who had been keeping her silence went red. She was indeed going to say something, but she did not dare to because Manager Li¡¯s warning was too frightening. She felt apprehensive because she just allowed a suspicious person into the venue just a while ago. Should she report it? She was afraid she might be fired if she brought it up. But if she did not, she might have risked everyone¡¯s life here at this important party. If anything went wrong, she could not bear the responsibility even if she died. s, she decided to report it! The female receptionist said at once, ¡°Manager Li, Young Master Zhou, don¡¯t be anxious. Your ticket might have been taken by someone!¡± ¡°What? Who?¡± Zhou Ze asked hastily. The female receptionist named Zhang Hong immediately told them about what she saw and her suspicions. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you inform me immediately? If anything happens, we would be in great trouble, do you understand?¡± Li Tian said anxiously while pping his thigh. He loathed the loser Zhang Hong had just described. He ordered Zhang Hong to lead him to that person at once. Zhou Ze and the rest went in as well¡­ Chen Hao had no idea of this incident. All he knew was that this Golden Beach was extremely wide and breathtaking. With the sound of waves in the background, the party at night would be extraordinarily fun. There was a bungalow hotel with spectacr views of the sea beside him. Chen Hao was ushered by another male receptionist to his hotel with the entrance ticket in his hand. Bai Xiaofei had called Chen Hao just now. They were still sleeping at the hotel, for they did not expect Chen Hao to arrive so early. They immediately got up and prepared themselves to meet Chen Hao. ¡°Stand there! Quick, stop him!¡± Suddenly, Li Tian dashed toward Chen Hao. He shouted anxiously when he saw that Chen Hao was about to get into the elevator. Chen Hao saw a group of people running toward him. He was rather astonished, so he waited for them to see what happened. ¡°You! Show me your entrance ticket now!¡± Li Tian shouted angrily. To be frank, Chen Hao did not look anything like a wealthy person. Previously, he was still doubting that he might be wrong, but when he saw Chen Hao¡¯s attire, he was certain that he was not mistaken! Li Tian ground his teeth in anger. ¡°Didn¡¯t she check my entrance ticket earlier?¡± Chen Hao pointed at the female receptionist. ¡°If we hadn¡¯t checked, how would we have known that a loser like you actually sneaked in?!¡± Zhang Hong shouted bluntly, ¡°Young Master Zhou, that¡¯s him! He must have taken your entrance ticket!¡± After that, Zhang Hong stomped toward Chen Hao and snatched the ticket from his hand. ¡°My god, all kinds of people really exist in this world. How can someone be so thick-skinned to sneak into this cruise party?¡± A few girls covered their mouths and giggled. The disdain in their eyes were obvious. Chen Hao finally figured out what happened. These people stopped him because they suspected that his entrance ticket did not belong to him. Coincidently, someone had lost their ticket so they presumed that the lost ticket was actually taken by him! Chen Hao was speechless. ¡°We should report him to the police. Manager Li, this guy must be hatching some uwful plots!¡± The few girls imed. Zhang Hong had taken out her phone to call the police. ¡°There you are, Young Master Chen!¡± At this moment, Bai Xiaofei and the rest arrived. Once they caught sight of Chen Hao, they ran toward him. ¡°Oh, Young Master Bai, it¡¯s you!¡± Zhou Ze greeted Bai Xiaofei. ¡°Good day, Young Master Bai!¡± The beautiful girls beside Zhou Ze also greeted Bai Xiaofei in reverence. Their familys¡¯ assets were worth around 800 or 900 hundred million but these were only a mere one tenth of what Bai Xiaofei¡¯s family owned. Bai Xiaofei¡¯s family had around 7 or 8 billion worth of assets! ¡°Zhou Ze, you are here too!¡± These people attended the same college as Bai Xiaofei. They were all third-year students in Jiang Nan College. Of course they knew Bai Xiaofei, who was the tyrant in Jiang Nan College. ¡°Young Master Chen, how did you get to know them?¡± Bai Xiaofei asked Chen Hao smilingly. ¡°I don¡¯t know them. They are using me of stealing their entrance ticket to sneak in. They want to report me to the police and turn me in!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°What?! Steal their ticket? Which idiot said that?¡± Bai Xiaofei bellowed. Zhang Hong was stunned. She had obviously heard of Bai Xiaofei, who was as renowned as Young Master Huang. But why was Bai Xiaofei treating the loser whom she belittled in such a respectful way? Most importantly, what did Bai Xiaofei address him as? Y-Young Master Chen? ¡°Let me exin, Young Master Bai. There might be some misunderstanding here. We were just suspecting so we wanted to verify his entrance ticket. I¡¯m sure you are well aware of the importance of this cruise party!¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m aware of it. Li Tian, Zhou Ze and the rest of you, do you know who he is?¡± Bai Xiaofei pointed at Chen Hao ¡°He is Chen Hao, the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Commercial Street! Does he need to verify his ticket?¡± ¡°What? He is Young Master Chen?¡± Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped when Bai Xiaofei announced Chen Hao¡¯s identity. ¡°Oh! I am truly sorry, Young Master Chen!¡± Zhang Hong¡¯s legs were trembling. She bowed down to an angle of 90 degrees at once. It must be true since Bai Xiaofei was the one who revealed it. ¡°Ahem, Young Master Chen, I am extremely sorry, I really didn¡¯t know that¡­¡± Li Tian gulped anxiously. His attitude changed to show reverence to Chen Hao, not to mention the girls beside Zhou Ze who mocked Chen Hao earlier. They were all staring at Chen Hao in admiration. He was the Young Master Chen? The one as rich as Croesus? Gasp! Gosh! What did I say and do earlier? Sigh! Chen Hao was used to these reactions. He had not nned to hurt their pride in any way. If he wanted to, he would have done it when Zhang Hong stopped him. It would have been too easy. He came here for the sole reason of enhancing his experience. He did not want to get into any disputes. Hence, he did not do anything else except smiled. He then followed Bai Xiaofei and the rest into the hotel. Suddenly, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang again. It was Lin Yiyi this time. ¡°Young Master Chen! Have you settled down? I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t make it to meet you now!¡± ¡°What happened? Is there any trouble?¡± Chen Hao noticed the frustration in Lin Yiyi¡¯s voice. ¡°Argh! I¡¯m about to go crazy! I¡¯m now at my aunt¡¯s house, but guess what?! My aunt wants to introduce me to a potential boyfriend! I¡¯m really unwilling to, but my aunt won¡¯t let me go! I can¡¯t escape from this! Sigh, Young Master Chen, what should I do?¡± Lin Yiyi said coquettishly. However, it was obvious that she was also anxious and angry. ¡°That¡¯s easy, just tell her you have a boyfriend!¡± ¡°I told her that I have a boyfriend so I can¡¯t meet other boys but the problem is, my aunt insisted on meeting my boyfriend! Where can I find a boyfriend now? Jeez, what an annoying situation!¡± Suddenly, Lin Yiyi lowered her voice. ¡°Young Master Chen, can you do me a favor?¡± Chen Hao widened his eyes in surprise. ¡°Damn, what do you mean?¡± Chapter 87 Have You No Shame? Chapter 87 Have You No Shame? Chen Hao didn¡¯t have to think twice to understand what Lin Yiyi meant. She was definitely asking him to pretend to be her boyfriend to satisfy her aunt. Chen Hao was tired of pretending to be someone¡¯s boyfriend. ¡°Young Master Chen, please pretend to be my boyfriend and bear with me. I¡¯m begging you. I feel that Bai Xiaofei and the others are unrefined but you are more mature. You¡¯re my best pick. If you don¡¯t help me, my aunt would certainly set me up with that boy. I really don¡¯t want to meet him!¡± Lin Yiyi pleaded. Chen Hao wanted to refuse but he couldn¡¯t find a reason to. Lin Yiyi had helped him several times. This time, she needed his help and it was not something N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. unachievable. It was time for him to return the favor. ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Hao nodded. After he hung up the phone, he didn¡¯t go upstairs. He told Bai Xiaofei and the others to leave first and he took a cab to Lin Yiyi¡¯s aunt¡¯s home. Her aunt was quite rich. She had a mansion at Yun Gang City. When he arrived, Lin Yiyi was already standing at the door waiting for him. Standing next to Lin Yiyi was a girl about the same age as her. Looking at this scene, Chen Hao thought that it was very simr to when he visited Su Tongxin¡¯s home. Was it a typical scene when pretending to be a boyfriend? Chen Hao coughed drily, got out of the car and greeted Lin Yiyi. ¡°Oh my god! Sister, is this your boyfriend Chen Hao? Why did hee in a cab?¡± The girl standing next to her was fair-skinned and quite beautiful, but when she looked at Chen Hao, she wore an expression of disdain and disappointment. It seemed like Lin Yiyi didn¡¯t blow Chen Hao¡¯s cover. So this girl knew nothing about him. Looking at Chen Hao¡¯s clothes, he seemed to be nothing more but a poor loser. He even arrived in a cab. What a loser. She was extremely crestfallen. ¡°What do you know, Mei? Chen Hao is extremely nice! Why can¡¯t he be my boyfriend?¡± Lin Yiyi ran over to hold Chen Hao¡¯s arm, smiling sweetly. Sigh, if Young Master Chen was really my boyfriend, that would be great, Lin Yiyi thought. ¡°Fine, I just hopeter when my parents and cousins see him, they won¡¯t say anything!¡± Su Mei pursed her lips, not wanting to look at Chen Hao. She turned and went inside. Chen Hao froze. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say we were just here to meet your uncle and aunt? Why are there so many people?¡± Lin Yiyi stuck her tongue out. ¡°They only came after I called you. Sorry Young Master Chen, please just help me this time!¡± Chen Hao said resignedly, ¡°Fine, just this once!¡± Actually, Chen Hao thought the whole thing would be simple. He only needed to greet Lin Yiyi¡¯s aunt¡¯s family. Then, they would proceed topare him to the boy they were about to introduce to Lin Yiyi. At that time, he would only need to show them some of his wealth and he would be able to have the upper hand. It was that simple. However, many rtives of Lin Yiyi were present and this gave Chen Hao a headache. The rtives paid a visit because they heard that Lin Yiyi wasing and they had always been close to her. Other than that, they have always had business dealings with each other and now that Lin Yiyi had found herself a boyfriend, they were curious. Therefore, everyone came. ¡°Yiyi, is he your boyfriend?¡± When they entered the house, the adults barely had time to speak before a group of young teenagers surrounded them. All of them were sizing Chen Hao up. There was doubt on everyone¡¯s faces after a while. Damn, Yiyi was so beautiful but what kind of taste did she have? Obviously, he was way out of her league! ¡°Yiyi, we wanted to invite you to the cruise party but you rejected us. Hmph, now we know it¡¯s because you wanted to go with your boyfriend!¡± a girl eximed. ¡°Yes, but now it just so happens that we can go together!¡± Lin Yiyiughed, holding Chen Hao''s hand and didn¡¯t let go. As for her cousins, they didn''t greet Chen Hao. Lin Yiyi also knew that they looked down upon Chen Hao. However, Lin Yiyi did not dare to expose Chen Hao''s identity without Chen Hao''s consent. Seeing that Chen Hao was not too angry, Lin Yiyi was relieved. Chen Hao was not angry but numb to this kind of experience. When participating in these asions, he would only be silent! ¡°Well now. Yiyi, have a seat!¡± A middle-aged woman stood up. She was Lin Yiyi''s aunt, Lin Hongxia. She owned a beauty chainpany with an annual profit of tens of millions. Therefore, her skin was very well maintained. Because she had seen many rich people, she was quite unustomed to seeing ordinary people like Chen Hao. ¡°Your name is Chen Hao, right? Where are you from? What does your family do? ¡± Lin Hongxia asked lightly. The group of young rich heirs looked at Chen Hao with a sneer. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s from the countryside and his family farmsnd?¡± ¡°Sigh, I really don''t know how Yiyi ended up with such a crude boyfriend with her standards. If he were my boyfriend, I would have jumped from here and died! ¡± ¡°Look at him. He didn¡¯t even say a word since he came in. Obviously he hasn¡¯t seen a house as huge as this and it¡¯s making him nervous. He looks like an olddy entering a grand garden. He can¡¯t ¡°Damn. What are you saying? Him? Competing with Wu Qiang? ¡± On one side, several men and women were discussing Chen Hao with arms crossed. On the other hand, as soon as Su Mei heard that someone wasparing Chen Hao to Wu Qiang, she immediately to introduce to Lin Yiyi. His family runs hotel businesses and he was studying in Jiang Nan College in Jin Ling. Not only that, he was also the President of the Student Council of the Management Faculty! Wu Qiang was a great person. How could this Chen Haopare? Several people were talking loudly and Chen Hao heard them all. He was not angry, just frustrated. Is it really that important to have money? When did the standard for measuring a person change from moral character to the amount of money someone had? You can say or do anything as long as you had money and you would always be right. If you don''t have money, you''re absolutely nothing! Chen Hao thought of what he had experienced andmented in his heart. He turned to Lin Hongxia and replied, ¡°My family lives in a small town in the county and my parents are doing business!¡± Chen Hao answered honestly. ¡°Pooh, he really is from a small rural area. His parents probably have a kiosk in town, my god!¡± Su Mei and the others despised him even more. Lin Hongxia had not asked Chen Hao to sit down ever since he stepped into her house. After hearing this, she became even angrier and scolded him, ¡°Then how dare you fall in love with our Yiyi? What makes you think that you are qualified? Have you no shame?¡± Chapter 88 How Could There Be Someone So Poor Chapter 88 How Could There Be Someone So Poor ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t say that!¡± Lin Yiyi widened her eyes. She didn¡¯t think that her aunt would say something so cruel. Do you know who is standing before you? A true heir! His family supports the whole Lin family behind the scenes! Lin Yiyi was shocked. But even though he was scolded, Chen Hao was only slightly angered. He was already numb to these voices of disdain from long ago. Lin Hongxia wanted to scold him some more so that he would back off voluntarily. At this moment, her phone rang, so she picked up the phone. ¡°Yes? Wu Qiang? Didn¡¯t I say you cane next time? What? You¡¯re already at the door? Alright, let mee meet you!¡± The call was from Wu Qiang. Lin Hongxia had already told him that he didn¡¯t need toe today. Unexpectedly, Wu Qiang still came. Lin Hongxia thought that since Lin Yiyi¡¯s boyfriend wasing, and though she fancied Wu Qiang more and wanted Lin Yiyi to meet with him so they could unite to be more powerful, what if Yiyi¡¯s boyfriend was more excellent and handsome than Wu Qiang? What if Yiyi¡¯s boyfriend was even richer than Wu Qiang? What if¡­ All in all, Lin Hongxia thought about countless what ifs, but she didn''t expect the current situation to end up in such a way. She didn¡¯t want to think about it anymore. Yiyi and Chen Hao would have to break up. She would talk to her cousin, who was Lin Yiyi¡¯s father, "Whoa, whoa, Wu Qiang is here! Yiyi, Wu Qiang will also go to the cruise party. You can get to know him more!¡± Su Mei and the others had been treating Chen Hao like he was nothing from the start. Now they wanted to bring Wu Qiang and Lin Yiyi together. Just then, Wu Qiang followed Lin Hongxia in. ¡°Wu Qiang, you¡¯re looking even more handsome!¡± As soon as Su Mei saw him, she smiled sweetly. Wu Qiang stood in front of them, tall and handsome. He wore gold and silver on his wrists. At first sight, one could tell that he was rich. ¡°Mei, ttery gets you everywhere!¡± Wu Qiang waved while clutching a watch in his hand. He grinned. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. His eyes scanned the room and finally fell on Lin Yiyi, who was as beautiful as a fairy. ¡°Let me guess. You must be Aunt Lin¡¯s niece, Miss Lin Yiyi. The beautiful Lin Yiyi from Jin Ling, right?¡± In fact, Wu Qiang had met Lin Yiyi a long time ago. Both of them studied in Jiang Nan College. Lin Yiyi was a beautiful girl, so how could he not know about her? One could say that with just a single look, Wu Qiang had fallen in love with this girl. She was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that she made his heart tremble! So, as soon as he heard about the meeting today and that it was deliberately arranged by Aunt Lin, Wu Qiang was really happy. But then she seemed to have changed her mind. Wu Qiang quickly found out what was happening and the more they didn¡¯t let hime, the more he wanted toe! ¡°Well, yes. Hello!¡± Lin Yiyi said politely but she immediately stood beside Chen Hao after greeting him. Am I that unattractive? Wu Qiang¡¯s excitement dimmed. Then he turned his gaze to Chen Hao. ¡°Are you Yiyi¡¯s boyfriend?¡± Wu Qiang smiled, giving the impression of being generous andpetent. ¡°Yes, I am!¡± ¡°So you studied in Jiang Nan College? But I haven''t seen you before! " Wu Qiang wore a smile but his smile suggested a hint of superiority. ¡°I¡¯m not from Jiang Nan College, but from Jin Ling College!¡± However, Chen Hao had had plenty of practice by now. Regardless of how people treated him or intimidated him, he could keep his countenance unchanged and his expression calm. ¡°Jin Ling College, that''s cool. By the way, what does your family do? How did you manage to court our goddess Yiyi?¡± ¡°Wu Qiang, let me tell you. He¡¯s from the countryside. His family runs a kiosk in town! Can''t you tell from what he''s wearing?¡± Su Mei hurriedly answered. What was the highest state of ignoring a person? It was when the person was clearly in front of you but you still pretended the person didn¡¯t exist. Normally, one wouldn¡¯t say these harsh words in front of another person. But now, Su Mei didn¡¯t even care so one could imagine how much she despised Chen Hao. ¡°Oh, so youe from the countryside. It¡¯s quite a feat for you to study in Jin Ling. By the way, brother, if you have any difficulty in Jin Ling College, you can tell me. My father knows your principal and he can arrange everything with just a word! If you want to apply for student subsidies, you can also contact me. Although I¡¯m from Jiang Nan College, everything is still rted! Oh by the way, have you applied for subsidies before? ¡± As soon as Wu Qiang saw that Su Mei ignored him tantly, he had already be contemptuous. So, he didn''t really pay attention to his words. ¡°Yes, I have been applying for three years in a row. Before, I had to pay my tuition with my student subsidies!¡± Chen Hao originally wanted to embarrass Lin Yiyi¡¯s aunt but now, Chen Hao decided to keep a low profile. There were three reasons. First of all, Chen Hao did apply for subsidies and did use it to pay for tuition fees. This was true and there was no need to lie about it. Secondly, Chen Hao thought that even if he helped Lin Yiyi, he didn¡¯t need to help her so thoroughly. Chen Hao could see that Lin Yiyi didn''t just want him to pretend to be her boyfriend. She actually wanted to develop their rtionship further. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t a narcissist but he could really feel it. Although Chen Hao liked pretty girls and he basically liked them as soon as heid eyes on them, it was due to his nature. He wasn¡¯t that much of a scumbag. He had always wanted to find a girl who really had chemistry with him to be his girlfriend. He wanted them tost forever. But Lin Yiyi was definitely not that girl. When they first met, Lin Yiyi had collided with him and she had beaten him until he was unrecognizable. So, Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to help her thoroughly. Thirdly, Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to reveal his identity anymore. He was very ufortable being in the limelight and being looked at by everyone else, regardless of what they thought. ¡°Damn, he even paid his tuition fees with his student subsidies for three years! How poor is he?¡± ¡°Oh my god! This is really unheard of. He is so poor and so shameless to apply for student subsidies for three years! I would have died from embarrassment to even apply once!¡± Su Mei and the other girls discussed. Lin Hongxia frowned even more. Was Yiyi out of her mind? Why would she pick this kind of person? ¡°Haha, it is said that the children of poor families often settle down earlier. Brother, at least you have achieved this. But in the future, if you are short of money, I can lend you some. After all, Yiyi and I are alumni. That means we are friends from now on!¡± Wu Qiang smiled. Even though there was a slight hint of contempt in his voice, it was nevertheless detectable. He was obviously very good at bloodless battles. He ridiculed Chen Hao in public with every sentence that he spoke but no one could pick out any problems. He was worthy of being the President of the Student Council. Hisnguage ability was very strong. ¡°Thanks but no thanks!¡± Chen Hao smiled lightly. ¡°Don''t be embarrassed. By the way, brother, since you go to school in Jin Ling City, have you been to the major scenic spots? You have to check out Jin Ling Commercial Street. There is also Hot Spring Vi. Since you are at Jin Ling, you have to visit the Vi. How about this? You cane to meter and I''ll take you there. My father knows the owner of a restaurant on themercial street. If you want to go, I know someone who can bring you in!¡± ¡°Oh, Wu Qiang, have you forgotten what Yiyi¡¯s job is? If Chen Hao wanted to go, Yiyi would just have to say the word!¡± Su Mei grinned. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re right! How could I forget? I just assumed that since Chen Hao is poor, he has not been anywhere before. He will probably be going to Jin Ling Commercial Street more often now since he is dating Yiyi!¡± ¡°Damn, I forgot all about it! Haha!¡± Wu Qiang smacked his head whileughing. Chapter 89 He’s Spying On Us Chapter 89 He¡¯s Spying On Us Afterward, Wu Qiang continued to unt his connections with the businessmen of Jin Ling. Of course, he continued to tease Chen Hao. Chen Hao was angry. He wanted to tread all over Wu Qiang. But then he thought, I¡¯ll let him unt and mock me if it pleases him. What else does he have apart from these? Therefore, the family lunch was not pleasurable for Chen Hao. They ate and chatted. Time flew by, and it was nearly twilight. Chen Hao had woken up early this morning and had wasted nearly a day here. He was tired already! Just then, Su Mei cleared her throat, which shocked Chen Hao. "Ah, Wu Qiang, Yiyi, it''s almost five o''clock. The cruise party is about to start! Let''s go! It''s not good to bete! " ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right!¡± ¡°It¡¯s organized by Young Master Huang after all and we have to show him due respect!¡± Wu Qiang eximed. ¡°OK, then go quickly. By the way, Wu Qiang, take good care of Su Mei and Yiyi!¡± Lin Hongxia said hurriedly. She deliberately excluded Chen Hao. ¡°No problem!¡± Wu Qiang responded. Then, everyone left for the party one after the other. Some of them drove. As for Chen Hao, under Lin Yiyi¡¯s insistence, he got into the BMW 7 Series that Su Mei owned. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have even allowed Chen Hao to get in the car. During this period of time, Lin Yiyi also grasped Chen Hao''s hand tightly, seeming to say¡ªSorry! Sorry! Sorry! Young Master Chen, I never thought they would act this way. I¡¯m sorry that you had to suffer such a great grievance! Chen Hao smiled bitterly as a response. They talked andughed on the way there and finally arrived at Golden Beach¡¯s entrance. ¡°By the way, Chen Hao, do you have a ticket?¡± Wu Qiang had been waiting a long time to ask this question, but he wanted to wait until Chen Hao had arrived at Golden Beach. He wanted to embarrass Chen Hao. ¡°Oh, yes, I have it!¡± Chen Hao nodded and carefully took out the ticket from his pocket. ¡°Haha, it must be from Yiyi. Really, why do you treat him so well? Do you know that your actions are harming him instead? He doesn¡¯t belong in our world. Why do you have to let him enter our world? Let him live his mediocre life!¡± Su Mei usually didn''t act like an adult, but by saying this unreservedly, it felt like she was experienced in the worldly ways. She was very respectful toward Lin Yiyi normally, however, she finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. What was today¡¯s asion? It was a gathering of upstarts brought together by Young Master Huang. Everyone was somebody. She understood that her sister might like Chen Hao very much, so she wanted to bring him to see the world, but what if it hurt his pride after seeing so many rich heirs? ¡°That¡¯s it Mei, don¡¯t go so far! Always leave some leeway!¡± Lin Yiyi stomped her feet. ¡°Alright, stop fighting. Let¡¯s just go in and let Chen Hao follow us. If someone asked him questions that he dared not answer, I¡¯ll help him out!¡± Wu Qiang spoke with a sense of justice. ¡°Hmph, Wu Qiang is the best. He is sopetent!¡± Su Meiplimented him, then rolled her eyes at Chen Hao. Then, they went in together. It was five in the afternoon and the shores of Golden Beach were already filled with people. It was much livelier than daytime. ¡°Wu Qiang, you¡¯re here!¡± ¡°Mei, you¡¯re here as well! Why did you arrive sote? We are barbecuing over here!¡± As soon as Wu Qiang arrived, several rich heirs waved at him. Apparently they knew each other. ¡°Haha, there are so many friends here. Yiyi, let''s go. I''ll introduce some of them to you!¡± The rich heirs hung out with their best friends and drank alcohol, having a marvelous time! As for Chen Hao, he didn¡¯t want to meet any new friends. He was tired from the day and his brain was about to explode. He just wanted to find a ce to rest and find out where Bai Xiaofei and the others were. So he said, ¡°Enjoy yourselves, I¡¯m going to the toilet. Don¡¯t mind me!¡± Chen Hao turned around and left without waiting for anyone to respond. ¡°Haha, he¡¯s going to the bathroom? Maybe he is afraid that other people would know that he''s a poor kid and he felt humiliated!¡± ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s poor and he should know his limitations. It¡¯s better if he didn¡¯t participate in this kind of gathering. Now that he¡¯s here, he¡¯s regretting it!¡± The group was muttering among themselves. Lin Yiyi wanted to go with Chen Hao but she had troubled him enough for the day and she didn¡¯t dare to bother him anymore. ¡°Who is he? Why didn¡¯t he tell us if he was going away?¡± A rich heir was dissatisfied with him. ¡°Don¡¯t mind him, he¡¯s just a loser!¡± Su Mei said with disdain. The loser that she was talking about had already reached the other side of the beach. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Chen Hao liked this feeling. He wandered along the beach alone. Some waiters passing by him were serving wine. Chen Hao took a ss, sat on a recliner and drank in peace. It was sofortable and peaceful without the constant chatter in his ears! Just then, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. He took a nce and saw that it was Li Zhenguo. ¡°Young Master Chen, how¡¯s your gathering tonight?¡± Chen Hao told Li Zhenguo about the gathering tonight so he knew. ¡°It¡¯s alright!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Well, that Young Master Huang ought to satisfy you. I don''t know if I should tell you this. Let''s just say that Young Master Huang, the organizer of this party, actually has a lot to do with your sister. And the purpose of organizing the party this time is obviously because of you!¡± ¡°Huh? Howe?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. If he organized this party for him, why was Lin Yiyi the one who gave him the ticket? Besides, what did the son of the richest man in Suzhou, Young Master Huang, had to do with his elder sister? ¡°Ahem, it''s like this. The reason why the Huang family rose to power was because your sister had given them tremendous support. Young Master Huang¡¯s mother is your sister¡¯s godmother. Do you understand now?¡° Chen Hao didn''t expect to have such a rtionship. It seemed that after his sister''s poverty ended, she had developed Jin Ling¡ªor more urately, the whole of Jiangnan province¡ªand he only knew a thing or two. ¡°As for why I told you this, it¡¯s because the Huang family is very good at ttery, just like how they treated your sister at the beginning. They ttered her after they knew her real identity. At that time, they put on a graceful and noble pretense, acting as though they were eager to help her when she was poor, and as though they were not trying to curry favors with her once she got rich. Because of this, your sister was moved and gave full support to them!¡± ¡°But of course, they have always been loyal to Miss Chen Xiao!¡± ¡°This time, Young Master Huang must be using the same trick again. Forget about this party, he is just really looking forward to seeing you and showcasing himself to you. Ever since you told me about the party, I''ve debated for a while if I should tell you this. If I didn¡¯t tell you everything I knew, I would feel very sorry!¡± ¡°I understand, Zhenguo. Thank you!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that, Young Master Chen. I still want to do more for you!¡± After a few more exchanges, Chen Hao hung up the phone. Chen Hao picked up some things from his conversation with Li Zhenguo and thought that the situation was not as simple as it seemed. That was, Li Zhenguo seemed to be at odds with the Huang family, implying to him that the Huang family was not as noble as they seemed. Were they fighting secretly? To be honest, it was Chen Hao¡¯s first encounter with this kind of situation. Anyway, Chen Hao thought it didn¡¯t feel right to hurt Li Zhenguo. Chen Hao sipped wine as he pondered over it. ¡°Hey look, that man has been watching us y volleyball for a long time. Is he watching us because we¡¯re wearing bikinis? Is he fantasizing about us?¡± ¡°Really? Is he really that obscene? ¡± At this time, Chen Hao heard the voices of several beautiful women. Coming back to his senses, he saw a group of beautiful women in bikinis on the beach ring at him and muttering under their breaths¡­ Chapter 90 A Shock to Everyone Chapter 90 A Shock to Everyone On Golden Beach, these beautiful women in bikinis were ying volleyball. Chen Hao was too tired just now so he didn''t notice. Hey down nearby and had a rest. After his call, Chen Hao was lost in thought and might have been unconscious of where his eyes strayed. He was obviously misunderstood by these beautiful women who were ying volleyball. They had thought that Chen Hao was spying on them and thinking of obscene things. It was a day out so these beautiful girls dressed revealingly. Some boys looked and they didn¡¯t mind, but this boy was too shabby. Besides, he was staring and ogling them till he spaced out. These girls had experience with these types of boys. They knew what he was thinking and it made them feel disgusted! ¡°He''s disgusting. Look at him. He¡¯s getting more and more excited by the second. He¡¯s still looking at us!¡± ¡°He must be peeping at Xuenuo. She is wearing more revealing clothes today. Just now, a rich heir wanted to take photos, and when he heard that Xuenuo was on good terms with Young Master Huang, he was so scared he ran away!¡± ¡°Yes, I think this person is too reckless. Maybe he has already taken our photos and is nning to take them back to the hotel and do something with it at night. My god, it''s too disgusting!¡± ¡°Xuenuo, what should we do?¡± The girls looked at a well-proportioned, fair-skinned sexy girl with hair reaching her waist. She was indeed beautiful. One could say she was the main attraction on the volleyball court because most boys were gathered over here. Many boys obviously knew that Xuenuo and Young Master Huang had a good rtionship, so they didn''t dare to look at her openly. They had to settle with peeping. Chen Hao was one of a kindpared to them. Li Xuenuobed through her hair and said coldly, ¡°Huh! I''ve seen too many dirty men. Sisters, let''s go and check his cell phone together. If he really took photos of us, we''ll kill him today!¡± Li Xuenuo said icily. ¡°That''s right. If Young Master Huang or rich people at the level of Young Master Bai looked at us, it would be fine, but for such a loser to look at us, it¡¯s an insult!¡± With that, they went over to Chen Hao. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t run now even if he wanted to. ¡°You! Have you been peeping at us just now and thinking obscene things? ¡± A girl with a huge chest questioned him, her breasts trembling. ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t!¡± Chen Hao replied innocently. He really didn¡¯t pay one bit of attention to them. He didn¡¯t even notice that one of these women who yed volleyball was extremely beautiful, or else Chen Hao would have stared. ¡°You didn¡¯t? Who are you kidding? You¡¯re even drooling! I¡¯ve never seen such a disgusting loser. Take your cell phone out and let us have a look!¡± ¡°Yeah, take it out, you disgusting man and dirty loser! You better do as we say, or you''ll have a hard time when Young Master Huang hears of this!¡± The crowd jeered at him. At that moment, Li Xuenuo was holding her shoulders coldly, looking very proud. Yes, although Young Master Huang was very famous and had a very good rtionship with herself, so far, Li Xuenuo had not established a clear rtionship with Young Master Huang. She really knew her way around. The easier it was to get something, the less valuable it was. For the past few years, in the face of Young Master Huang¡¯s rampant pursuit, Li Xuenuo had always been reserved, but she had long wanted to be his girlfriend. Young Master Huang was the son of the richest man in Suzhou. He was really wealthy. It was just as she thought. The more reserved she was, the more Young Master Huang pursued her. So now, Li Xuenuo''s status was simply too high and many girls saw her as their leader. ¡°I said I didn''t take photos of you!¡± Chen Hao smiled resignedly. Although this group of girls were very beautiful, they were also very unreasonable. As for drooling, if arge group of beautiful girls in bikinis were standing in front of an ordinary guy, how was it possible for him to not feel butterflies in his stomach? It would be awkward for Chen Hao to continue staying there. That was why he wanted to escape! ¡°You want to run? Sisters, get him!¡± In a sh, a few chicks had surrounded Chen Hao, digging their fingers into his head and tearing his clothes apart. The group of girls had a lot of strength when added up. Soon, Chen Hao was pinned down to the ground. Some girls were very bold and even sat on Chen Hao''s body. His body was almost covered with girls. Chen Hao was pinned down on the beach firmly. ¡°Hmph, how dare you offend me? When Young Master Huanges, you will be taught a lesson!¡± Li Xuenuo smiled icily. At the same time, some girls rushed over and covered Li Xuenuo''s body with a bath towel. ¡°Damn, there¡¯s something going on over there. Some girls are beating up a boy!¡± ¡°What? Why?¡± ¡°Haha, that boy is a loser. He was peeping at girls in bikinis while they were ying volleyball. The girls didn¡¯t want him to see so they got into a conflict and beat him up!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look!¡± News of themotion had already spread to the other side of the beach. Wu Qiang, Su Mei and Lin Yiyi were having their own barbecue here. When they heard about it, it sparked their interest. ¡°Yiyi, Su Mei, let''s go and have a look. Haha, let''s see who is this pathetic guy?¡± Lin Yiyi didn''t want to go but she was just about to leave to find Chen Hao. She wanted to see if he had returned to the hotel, so she nodded. The group ran over there. As soon as they saw who was struggling under the buttocks of several girls on the beach, Wu Qiang, Su Mei and Lin Yiyi froze. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Lin Yiyi couldn''t believe her eyes. She felt like she was dreaming. The revered Young Master Chen was pinned under a bunch of girls and was beaten up by them? Su Mei gulped. ¡°Wu Qiang, Su Mei, isn¡¯t he the guy that you brought?¡± Wu Qiang¡¯s friend said with disdain. ¡°No, no. We don¡¯t know him. My god, he is too disgusting. This is extremely humiliating!¡± Su Mei eximed. She nearly covered all of her face. Chen Hao, although you¡¯re poor and shabby, these aren¡¯t a big deal. They are just really annoying but I didn¡¯t think you are also dirty! Your girlfriend Yiyi is still here. Su Mei couldn¡¯t stand it. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Su Mei, maybe something happened to him? Maybe it was his first time seeing someone in a bikini and he was stunned! Hahaha!¡± Wu Qiang chuckled. Seeing the awkward expression on Lin Yiyi''s face, he thought Lin Yiyi was also ashamed and disappointed. That was why he became even more presumptuous. ¡°You loser, how did you get in? Tell me, did you take a photo or not?¡± Li Xuenuo crossed her arms like a haughty peacock and stepped on Chen Hao¡¯s head. F*ck! He had never been insulted like this before! Chen Hao was angry. He was really enraged. He swore that such a situation would not happen a second time. Actually, this was the second time when he was beaten by Lin Yiyi and a bunch of other girls the first time. There would be no third time! Just when Chen Hao wanted to hit one of them, someone yelled, ¡°Oh my good, look at the sea quickly! The fancy cruise ship is here. Young Master Huang is here!¡± Everyone heard that person yell and looked over to the sea. There was a fancy cruise ship sailing quickly toward the port of Golden Beach. On the deck of the cruise ship stood a plump young man d in bathrobes and wearing sunsses. His robe was fluttering in the wind. Beside him were all drop-dead gorgeousdies in bikinis and foreign girls nestling in his arms, feeding him red wine! At the very top, there were several rich second generation heirs. It was Bai Xiaofei and the others. After all, they all belonged to Chen Xiao''s forces and naturally had a very good rtionship with each other. ¡°Young Master Huang!¡± ¡°Young Master Huang!¡± ¡°Young Master Huang!¡± ¡°Ahhhh!!!¡± As the cruise ship slowly sailed into the port, everyone was screaming, be it boys or girls. This was what the rich really looked like! Chapter 91 Young Master Chen, You are Here! Chapter 91 Young Master Chen, You are Here! Young Master Huang¡¯s full name was Huang Yonghao. He was the son of the biggest tycoon in Suzhou city. He was also the leader for the entire group of wealthy descendants within Jiangnan province. Not only that, he was also a popr idol for countless girls. The girls would be dreaming everyday in hopes of a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with Young Master Huang. Who knew if Young Master Huang might be attracted by their looks and fall for them. However, all these were ultimately dreams and the actual reality was harsh. In real life, ordinary people would never be able to meet people of such status like Huang Yonghao. A whirring sound could be heard. A loud roar was heard as well. The luxurious cruise docked. The deck slowly opened its doors and Huang Yonghao walked down slowly with multiple girls around his arms. He was neither tall nor handsome. In fact his body shape was slightly plump. However, all the girls were screaming about how handsome he was! Su Mei was also one of the girls that shouted the loudest. She hoped that her shouts could attract the attention of Young Master Huang. A nce toward her direction was good enough. Wu Qiang had an envious look. If only I could experience such treatment in my life as well. Even if I could not be someone like Young Master Huang, at the very least I could be someone like Bai Xiaofei. Then at least I could be friends with Young Master Huang. I would be able to apany him everywhere and also be in the limelight. Wu Qiang''s thoughts revealed the feelings of all the guys as all of them thought the same way as well. Huang Yonghao casually took off his Armani sunsses and threw it on the beach. Even though the sunsses cost around 100,000, he threw it away like it was rubbish. Then, he walked toward Li Xuenuo. That was because he realized that Li Xuenuo looked exceptionally sexy and beautiful today. ¡°Xuenuo, you look really beautiful today!¡± Huang Yonghao smiled. His eyes were squinted into a line. Despite that, the group of girls still worshipped him! ¡°Brother Hao, you look rather handsome today as well!¡± Li Xuenuo tidied up her hair and restored her image of an elegantdy. The only reason she wore revealing clothes was to capture Huang Yonghao¡¯s attention once again. After all, they were all in their third year of college and about to experience internships. In their three years of college, Huang Yonghao had been courting her. However, she was uncertain if things would remain the same after their internship had ended. As such, Li Xuenuo decided to affirm their rtionship. Smartdies were like that. They were good with mind games in order to reel guys in. ¡°Haha, Xuenuo,e over to my side! Let me bring you to meet an important guest today!¡± ¡°Ah? Important guest?¡± Li Xuenuo was rather shocked. She had been in an ambiguous rtionship with Huang Yonghao for three years and she had never once heard him mention the word ¡®important guest¡¯. Was there anyone that could be ssified as an important guest in his eyes? Huang Yonghao nodded his head while ncing across at the group of wealthy descendants. ¡°Everyone, thank you foring all this way here today. I am here today not just to make an appearance, but also to utilize this opportunity and introduce a very important friend to all of you!¡± ¡°Everyone probably knows how our family gained a foothold in Suzhou city. It was due to my godsister¡¯s help. Today, my godsister''s younger brother who is also my godbrother, Young Master Chen, is here!¡± Huang Yonghao was in high spirits. This was the effect he wanted to garner. It was meant to be a big surprise for his godbrother, Young Master Chen Hao! That way, if the Huang family wanted to progress in the future, they would have strong support. ¡°What? Young Master Chen? Who is he? Recently I have been constantly hearing my dad mention his name as well!¡± ¡°Haha, you don''t know who Young Master Chen is? Then at the very least you should know Jin Ling Commercial Street. That entire street is under Young Master Chen¡¯s name. It is not owned by his family but rather by him alone! Do you understand?¡± ¡°What? The entiremercial street is owned by Young Master Chen? Holy sh*t!¡± Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped. In that case, the father of Young Master Huang, who was also the richest person in the city, was only as rich as one business under Young Master Chen¡¯s name? ¡°Brother Wu Qiang, is Young Master Chen really that capable?¡± Su Mei was also astonished. ¡°I have only heard news that Young Master Chen was exceptionally capable. Think about it, the Huang family relied on Young Master Chen¡¯s sister to grow till where they are today. So imagine how capable he is!¡± Wu Qiang shrugged his shoulders and gave a serious exnation to everyone around. ¡°Wow! Are we able to meet Young Master Chen in person today?¡± Su Mei was ted. Huang Yonghao then turned around and looked at Bai Xiaofei. He asked with a smile, ¡°Brother Fei, where is Young Master Chen?¡± Back then, Huang Yonghao used to address Bai Xiaofei as Xiaofei. Nowadays, the situation had changed. ording to the information he had grasped, Bai Xiaofei was quite close to Young Master Chen and they also got to know each other earlier than he did. Thus, the way Huang Yonghao addressed Bai Xiaofei was upgraded. Despite that, there was still a huge disparity between the capabilities of Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei. ¡°He has already arrived except he might not be here. Young Master Chen went out during the afternoon!¡± Bai Xiaofei was also looking for him. ¡°Yonghao, why don''t we head to the hotel and look for Young Master Chen? After all, given his status, how could we let him wait?¡± Li Xuenuo said that while tugging at Huang Yonghao¡¯s arms. Li Xuenuo was also blushing. She originally thought that Huang Yonghao was the most powerful person. Yet who knew that there was someone stronger and richer out there! Furthermore, Young Master Chen was already here. She really wanted to meet him. Anyway, she had not officially confirmed her rtionship with Huang Yonghao. Who knew if Young Master Chen would fall for her? There was always a chance! After all, there were no certainties in things like feelings and rtionships! ¡°Yes, Young Master Huang. I think we should personally go and look for Young Master Chen!¡± There were also numerous wealthy descendants that came up and agreed with the notion as if they were very good in dealing with social rtionships. ¡°Ah! I overlooked this matter!¡± Huang Yonghao¡¯s expression changed. Huang Yonghao thought that Young Master Chen would definitely show up at Golden Beach. Therefore, Huang Yonghao could then appear and respectfully invite him, which would make Young Master Chen extremely happy. But to his dismay, Young Master Chen was not present at Golden Beach. If that was the situation, Huang Yonghao would then be waiting for his godbrother toe see him! That would be very bad! ¡°You are right. Let''s go over together and invite my godbrother! A small group of people would do it!¡± Huang Yonghao said. ¡°Young Master Huang, could you bring us along please?¡± At this moment, the few girls who were sitting on Chen Hao¡¯s shoulders, back, legs and buttock shouted. ¡°Young Master Huang, we have been upied with beating up a pervert. Now that things are settled, could you bring us along to meet Young Master Chen?¡± The few girls were so excited that tears were flowing out of their eyes. ¡°Alright, I shall bring you all along with me! Brother Fei, Xuenuo, let¡¯s go and look for my godbrother!¡± Huang Yonghao said. ¡°There is no need to look for me!¡± At that time, Chen Hao lifted his head up and spat out a bunch of sand from his mouth. Chen Hao only managed to catch his breath after the few girls got up. ¡°I have been here all this while!¡± Chen Hao lied on the floor and bitterly said. ¡°What?¡± Everyone was in shock upon hearing what Chen Hao said. Bai Xiaofei¡¯s hair stood up once he had a clear look of the guy who was being beaten up by the group Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. of girls. ¡°Young Master Chen! You are here!¡± Chapter 92 Cloud Manor Chapter 92 Cloud Manor ¡°Wait, what? He is Young Master Chen?¡± Upon hearing what Bai Xiaofei said, everyone turned around in shock and astonishment. Wu Qiang''s eyes popped out as he could not believe it. Su Mei¡¯s jaw dropped. ¡°Godbrother, is that you? Are you Chen Hao?¡± Huang Yonghao did not expect Chen Hao to appear in this manner which made him break out in cold sweat. ¡°Yes, it''s me!¡± Chen Hao spoke up weakly. He tried to get back up yet it hurt so bad that he had to take a deep breath. His entire body was sore from being sat on. ¡°Can someonee and give me a hand?¡± ¡°Ah! Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen!¡± The few beautiful girls who were nearby were shocked. Their screams drowned out the voice of Chen Hao. Lin Yiyi ran over and helped Chen Hao up. Just now, Lin Yiyi was actually dumbfounded, mainly from fear. Thest time she offended Young Master Chen, she was punished. Chen Hao gave his father some face and only gave her a light punishment.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. However, this time around, the situation was very severe. She had no idea what Young Master Chen would do and how furious he would get. Thus, she stood quietly at the side and dared not say a word. She was also not able to react to the situation and her brain cked out. ¡°Young Master Chen! Who beat you up so harshly?¡± Huang Yonghao leaped over and helped Chen Hao up. This scene stunned Li Xuenuo and the rest of the beautiful girls who were wearing bikinis. Turned out that the important guest today was him! The hidden wealthy descendant, Young Master Chen was also him! Oh god, what did we just do? Young Master Chen had their eyes on them and that was why he looked at them. Yet, they humiliated him. Now they had missed out on the opportunity to get to know Young Master Chen. They screamed in regret! The group of girls including Li Xuenuo were all in deep regret. Wu Qiang and Su Mei were the two people that regretted their actions the most. Wu Qiang had oppressed Chen Hao for the entire day. He showed off his connections and family background in order to show Chen Hao who was boss. During the entire process, Chen Hao kept silent and was nonchnt about his bragging. Wu Qiang thought that he had managed to ridicule Chen Hao to the point where his self esteem was hurt and had to remain speechless. Damn! In reality, the truth was that he treated me like a fool! Su Mei could note to her senses and stared nkly at Chen Hao. She wanted to say something. However at this point of time, there were all sorts of screaming and shouting around her. There was no opportunity for her to speak up. ¡°Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen!¡± The group of beautiful girls started screaming. ¡°Did you all notice? Young Master Chen looks so delicate and handsome!¡± ¡°Exactly! Young Master Chen is dressed in low quality clothes yet he still looks so handsome! How could any normal personpare?¡± ¡°I wonder if Young Master Chen has a girlfriend? My goodness, Young Master Chen is so humble. Guys like this are so rare! I want to be his girlfriend!¡± Most of the girls were discussing their simr opinions loudly. They all disyed their affection toward Chen Hao. To be honest, Chen Hao felt rather ted in his heart. So many beautiful girls were ogling at him. It was his first experience of such sort in his life. ¡°Young Master Chen, I am sorry!¡± At this moment, Li Xuenuo and the group of girls bowed at Chen Hao respectfully and apologized. Li Xuenuo stood out as she squeezed her chest together in order to attract Chen Hao¡¯s attention. ¡°Young Master Chen, they were so rude toward you! How do you want to punish them?¡± Huang Yonghao took the initiative and asked. Huang Yonghao was clear about his priorities and he knew what was more important. Did Li Xuenuo think that her tricks could be hidden from Huang Yonghao? He had always known that since young, all the girls would take the initiative toe over and get his attention. Finally, there was Li Xuenuo that acted conservatively in order to stay by his side. Huang Yonghao wanted to experience the feeling of courting a girl. That was all there was to it. Moreover, this stupid woman had beaten Young Master Chen up and ruined his well thought-out n for his first meeting with Young Master Chen. The thought of beating her to death even crossed Huang Yong Hao¡¯s mind! As such, he took the initiative and asked. Chen Hao nced at Li Xuenuo and the others. Truth be told, these few girls did make Chen Hao rather furious. Therefore, it went without saying that punishment had to be enforced. ¡°A simple punishment will do. Instruct them to y a game of volleyball in bikinis!¡± Chen Hao calmly said. ¡°Ah? Such a simple punishment?¡± Li Xuenuo¡¯s heart burst with joy. Could it be that Young Master Chen was taking the initiative and offering me an olive branch as he could not bear to see me being hurt? After all, I look so beautiful. How could guys not fall for me? At this moment, many thoughts crossed Li Xuenuo¡¯s mind. Yet, in the next second, her fantasies were all extinguished and cold water was poured on her, Chen Hao said, ¡°Of course it would not be held here! They would wear bikinis and y a volleyball game on the most popr street of Lianyungang city!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Li Xuenuo trembled. That would be such an embarrassment! Huang Yonghao snorted. ¡°Quickly thank Young Master Chen for such a light punishment! Since the sky has turned dark and there is less of a crowd, we shall wait till noon time tomorrow. That would be the time when Lianyungang street would be the most crowded. I would arrange for the game to be held during that time!¡± Huang Yonghao swung his arms and invited Chen Hao to enter the cruise. ¡°Young Master Chen, I love you! Ah, ah, ah!¡± A few girls followed Chen Hao into the cruise and they were grabbing onto their hair while shouting crazily. There were even a few beautiful girls in bikinis that were intimately hugging onto Chen Hao¡¯s arms. The star of the show tonight turned out to be Young Master Chen, Chen Hao! ¡°Yiyi!¡± Su Mei stormed her feet on the ground. Lin Yiyi was supposed to follow Chen Hao onto the cruise. However, she heard the voice of her cousin thus she turned around and walked back. ¡°So Chen Hao is the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Commercial Street? Why didn''t you tell me earlier? He looks so handsome, Chen Hao is really handsome! I was wrong, and it''s all my fault. Cousin sister, you have to help me put in a good word in front of Young Master Chen!¡± Lin Yiyi sighed. ¡°Su Mei, didn''t I remind you multiple times to always leave some leeway? Don''t worry about it though. Looks like Young Master Chen won''t be ming you! Let''s discuss the other particrs in the future. Oh right, the matter of Chen Hao being Young Master Chen has to be kept a secret and you are not allowed to tell anyone about it. As long as Young Master Chen is not willing to reveal his identity, the truth shall not be exposed through our mouths!¡± ¡°Ah? But Yiyi, there are so many people that saw Young Master Chen today!¡± Lin Yiyi shook her head and pointed to the side. ¡°Can you see those bodyguards in ck suits pacing around there?¡± Su Mei looked over and saw a dozen stern-looking bodyguards in ck suits. They were giving instructions to all the wealthy descendants present today. All the wealthy descendants nodded their heads in agreement. Nobody dared to go against the bodyguards¡¯ orders. ¡°So this is what actual wealthy descendants are like?¡± Su Mei waspletely shocked. Next up, the party onboard the cruise began as the cruise entered deep waters. It was Chen Hao¡¯s first time on a cruise. He enjoyed the night view while listening to the sound of the sea breeze. He was having the time of his life. As for his identity, Chen Hao had no concerns with it. Chen Hao still nned to live his life like an ordinary person. After all, he could not stand thevish lifestyle of someone like Huang Yonghao. An urate depiction would be asking a fish who was happily swimming in water and living its life in freedom to swim onto the shore. Not only that, the fish was even tasked to climb a tree. Could that be possible in a short period of time? Impossible! In conclusion, Chen Hao would not live avish lifestyle. At the very least, not anytime soon. Therefore, he arranged for Bai Xiaofei to handle the problems that could arise from his identity. Chen Hao had fun with Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei the entire night. They partied through the night and only slept at around four or five in the morning. All the other wealthy descendants on the cruise were the same. They were all high and enjoyed themselves during the party. On the following day, Chen Hao also followed Huang Yonghao and the rest to cruise further into deep waters. Time passed and it was almost noon when the party finally ended. ¡°Brother, I have to visit Jin Ling City in three days, so I will visit you again soon since I¡¯m already there!¡± Huang Yonghao cordially said while on the journey back. ¡°Oh, why are you paying a visit to Jin Ling City?¡± ¡°Are you going there to attend the exhibition of Cloud Manor? ¡± Bai Xiaofei smiled and asked. Huang Yonghao nodded his head. ¡°My father was adamant about me going there and gaining some experience!¡± Chen Hao was lost and had no idea what they were talking about. However, Cloud Manor sounded rather interesting as Chen Hao was nning to invest into buildings. Thus he asked, ¡°Cloud Manor? Is it very grand? I have not heard of it before!¡± Huang Yonghao gulped. He shockingly replied, ¡°Brother, Cloud Manor is a lot more than just a luxurious ce!¡± Chapter 93 Han Siyu Became the Number One Female Internet Celebrity Chapter 93 Han Siyu Became the Number One Female Inte Celebrity Chen Hao¡¯s interest was piqued, hence he asked Huang Yonghao for more details. ¡°Cough, Cough. Let me tell you this then, brother, the Cloud Manor is not just a simple residential ce anymore. It¡¯s a symbol of nobility. As its name implies, this manor is built on top of Jin Ling Cloud Peak Mountain. The surrounding area is transformed into part of the manor. If you were to stand on top of it, it would be akin to standing above the clouds. You could enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains and N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. rivers of the entire Jin Ling City!¡± Huang Yonghao said with a sense of longing in his heart. Was it that divine?! Chen Hao asked, ¡°Then it must be quite an expensive manor right?¡± Chen Hao nned to buy a house. Besides, Chen Hao had decided to bite the bullet this time around and made the decision to spend 10 million on a manor. It would be more convenient to park his car and the likes there. Thus, he wanted to ask the price of the Cloud Manor. Pfft! Huang Yonghao nearly spat out his wine. His eyes grew wide as he said, ¡°Damn, brother. This manor is very expensive. Do you know how much it cost? A total of 700 million!¡± If you were to use 700 million to invest or to run a business, it wasn¡¯t a problem for Huang Yonghao¡¯s father. However, to spend 700 million to buy a manor that was of no use at all to your business, it was the equivalent of pure consumption. No ordinary rich man would do that. Unless they really had too much money until they did not know where to spend it¡­ Hence, the housing price of this manor really scared Huang Yonghao. Although Huang Yonghao was so generous today as to invite so many rich second generation heirs, he only spent approximately 600,000 to 700,000. ¡°Of course, this is nothing to you right? I recalled my godsister actually spending one or two hundred million to buy a custom made car to drive around!¡± Huang Yonghao wanted to gauge Chen Hao¡¯s thoughts. After all, he knew that this amount of money was nothing in Chen Hao¡¯s eyes. However, Chen Hao still felt the pinch. To spend 700 million on a house to live in! It was just too wasteful! Chen Hao shook his head and decided to be more pragmatic and buy a 10 to 20 million manor then. ¡°It¡¯s ok if you don¡¯t want to buy it, brother. Let¡¯s go there and see it for ourselves three days from now. That should be ok right?¡± Huang Yonghao said reluctantly. If Chen Hao were to buy it, then Huang Yonghao would be able to stay there. That would truly be the epitome of being a wealthy person. ¡°Ok then. If I have the time, then let¡¯s go there to enjoy ourselves!¡± Chen Hao saw that Huang Yonghao had meticulously prepared a grand entrance for him. Even though he knew that Huang Yonghao approached him with a purpose in mind, however this feeling of being valued made him feel like he couldn¡¯t hate him even if he wanted to. Hence, he felt that it wasn¡¯t right to refuse him, so he agreed. After that, the second generation heirs continued surfing and doing other activities by the sea. They were truly enjoying themselves. Of course, most of the girls had never left a circle, a circle where Chen Hao was the center of attention. Wherever Chen Hao went, the girls would gather there. Each one of them tried their best to flirt with him secretly to catch his attention. However, Chen Hao was tired. He did not have the strength to entertain these beautiful youngdies. Not long after that, it was evening already. The cruise party was over. Huang Yonghao initially invited Chen Hao to visit other ces but was turned down gracefully by him. After all, he was not like Huang Yonghao, who did not care whether he had enough credits to pass or not. It was Monday tomorrow and he still needed to attend his ss! Bai Xiaofei was in charge of driving and he drove Chen Hao back to school. When he reached his dormitory, it looked empty. It seemed like Yang Hui and the rest of them went to the inte cafe again. Chen Hao was tired from his activities for the past two days so he immediately fell asleep on his bed. He slept on until the creaking sounds of the opening doors woke him up. ¡°Yang Hui, isn¡¯t Chen back already?!¡± ¡°What? He¡¯s back? Then why did he switch off his phone?¡± Yang Hui, Li Rui and the rest of the gang came back. All of them were looking excitedly at Chen Hao who had just awoken. ¡°Oh, I switched off my phone a long time ago. I was too tired, hence I did not bother to recharge my battery. Sigh, it¡¯s already 6pm. Why did you guys spend so much time online?¡± Chen Hao looked at his watch and realized that he was asleep for more than 3 hours. ¡°What? Of course not! Chen Hao, I really doubt whether you went for a vacation these past two days or whether you went to find some lovelydies. Didn¡¯t you read our ss group chat?¡± Li Rui said excitedly. Prior to this, Chen Hao had only told them that he was going out with a friend. He did not mention specifically what he was doing. Hence, Li Rui and Yang Hui did not know what Chen Hao was doing these past two days. As for the lovelydies that Li Rui mentioned, Chen Hao really did go there. All of them were beautiful! At that moment, Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°What lovelydies are you talking about? Tell me quickly what happened in our ss?¡± ¡°Before you left, do you remember that Han Siyu was in battle for the position of star anchor? As expected, she was the champion of thatpetition and became the SameCity Live Streaming app¡¯s number one girl. As a star anchor broadcast, just by the reward alone, Han Siyu received more than 200,000! Damn it!¡± Li Rui really envied and hated her at the same time. He envied that she could earn so much in one day. Apart from that, he hated himself for not being born a woman. ¡°Since yesterday, numerous reporters havee and interviewed Han Siyu. The headlines were even more intimidating. It read: Jin Ling College¡¯s Female Student Earned More Than 200,000 Within A Few Hours Of Live Streaming!¡± ¡°Oh my God! In short, many news stories rted to her had started spreading around like wildfire. Because of the publicity, since this afternoon, several people from Jin Ling Television Station hade specifically to have a video interview with Han Siyu. Just now, we went as her ssmates and were interviewed as well. Hehe, I managed to show my face on camera!¡± Yang Hui then added on a few other things. Only then did Chen Hao understand. Han Siyu went viral and was interviewed. Naturally, they would interview the people around her. It was almost simr to the special interview programs on televisions. After the interview with the person themselves, they would go around interviewing her ssmates, family, friends and so on. Usually theirments were scripted. Haha! He never expected that using his status as an Ordinary Guy to give Han Siyu some gifts would help finance the SameCity Live Streaming app and indirectly made Han Siyu a celebrity. Chen Hao did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°Chen, change your clothes quickly. Today Han Siyu will be treating all of us to a meal. It¡¯s at the same location where you treated usst time¡ªHomecook Kitchen Restaurant. We have made reservations already and all of our ssmates are going!¡± Yang Hui patted Chen Hao¡¯s bed and went to change his clothes. ¡°Ok!¡± This time around, Chen Hao readily agreed. First and foremost, he had enough rest already and he was feeling famished. Secondly, he was the one who made her a celebrity. So wouldn¡¯t it be reasonable if he were to go and have a meal at her celebratory party? Chen Hao quickly changed into his clothes and ran downstairs along with Yang Hui and the rest of his roommates like a pack of hungry wolves. At the campus entrance¡­ Chen Hao¡¯s ssmates were already gathered there. Han Siyu wasn¡¯t the same asst time. In the past, she was only an unknown anchor out to earn some money for a living. But now, she had be a real inte celebrity and was earning a lot of money. Naturally, she became the center of attention. ¡°Siyu, are we calling a cab?¡± Blondie was following behind her all the way. Ever since Xu Nan and his cousin Xu Chao beat up the son of Jin Ling¡¯s rich tycoon, they were beaten up quite badly. Hence, they dared not go back to college. Now, only Blondie was left. ¡°Why should we call the cab? I have already contacted the servicepany and asked them to send 10 Audis here. Let us all go by car. Right Blondie, can you help me count the number of people and see who hasn¡¯t arrived yet?¡± ¡°Ok!¡± Blondie set off on his task delightedly as if he was helping out his own family members with their affairs. He even shouted, ¡°Ok, everyone, pipe down. Just give a shout when I call out your name!¡± Not long after that, his task waspleted. Blondie ran over to Han Siyu and said, ¡°Siyu, only Yang Hui, his roommates and Hao Lan are not here yet. Hao Lan said she was sick so she stayed behind in the dorm!¡± ¡°Ok, noted. Where are Yang Hui and his roommates? Why are they taking such a long time to change their clothes?!¡± Han Siyu stated coldly as she put on a pair of branded wine red-colored sses and crossed her arms in front of her. After all, she was an inte celebrity and she needed to act like one. ¡°Here theye, Yang Hui and the rest of them are heading this way!¡± At this moment, one of the girls shouted. All 6 people from Yang Hui¡¯s dorm were jogging toward them. ¡°Huh? I thought Chen Hao went for a vacation? Why is he back?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. Damn, I think he heard that we were having a meal, hence he came back quickly. Maybe he spent all his lottery winnings? Furthermore, he said that he was out on a vacation, but who knows whether he was working behind our backs or not!¡± Before Chen Hao even managed to get there, waves upon waves of ridicules could be heard¡­ Chapter 94 Jin Ling Management Is Undergoing a Change Chapter 94 Jin Ling Management Is Undergoing a Change ¡°Chen Hao, you only know how toe during meal times. Where were you in the afternoon when our entire ss was having the interview with Si Yu? Your loser attitude never changes, does it?¡± One of the girls who was Han Siyu¡¯s best friend chided. Several girls started changing their perceptions of Chen Hao. When they saw him at the moment, all of them were smiling coldly. How should we put this? Some time ago, Chen Hao suddenly became rich¡ªfilthy rich¡ªso of course he attracted the attention of many girls. How nice would it be if they could get into a rtionship with Chen Hao? Especially since Chen Hao was not ugly. He was pretty good looking, and they could buy lots of nice handbags if they got together with him. However, following Han Siyu¡¯s glorious transformation from a nobody into a famous inte celebrity earning big bucks, it gave the rest of the girls in her ss some encouragement. She made everyone N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. feel¡ªSo what if I''m a girl? If I am willing to work hard and find the correct path for myself, I could be rich too. I could get fame and money if I put my heart into it. Therefore, many girls in her ss came up with the idea of giving the SameCity Live Streaming app a go. It would be even better if they couldnd a contract! ¡°Forget it, bring him along. An extra headcount doesn¡¯t really make much difference!¡± Han Siyu pushed up her sses. In the past when she spoke these disdainful words, she would spare Chen Hao a nce. But now, she did not even bother to look at him. It was exactly at this moment that Meng Cairu and the rest of them arrived, including the 10 Audis. The 10 Audis were lined up in a neat line and it was indeed a spectacr scene. Many students looked enviously in their direction. Even the owners of the Audi car took out their phones to take Han Siyu¡¯s photo. ¡°Miss Meng, you can ride with me. The rest of the students can take your own seats in the car!¡± Han Siyu tried to portray a good image as she said those words. One after another, everybody got into their respective cars. Yang Hui and his roommates had already found their seats. Chen Hao saw that thest Audi was still empty, and he prepared to open the door to the co-driver seat. ¡°Stop! What do you think you are doing?¡± From afar, Han Siyu¡¯s cold voice rang. ¡°I am getting into the car!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Haha, that car is not for students. This car is going to pick up some of my good friends from the live streaming guild. You can sit in the other cars!¡± Han Siyu nearly smacked her own head. Why does this loser always cause so much trouble? ¡°There are no other cars. I can see that there''s an empty space in the co-driver seat of your car, can I take a seat there then?¡± Chen Hao asked. Did she really want me to walk all the way there? ¡°Ugh, what are you thinking, Chen Hao? How dare you sit in the same car with me?¡± Han Siyu wanted to give Chen Hao a p in the face there and then. Did he know what her status was now? How could she be seen together with this ugly loser? ¡°Siyu, what¡¯s wrong? Let¡¯s leave now.¡± At this moment, Meng Cairu got down from the car. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s all because of Chen Hao. Sigh, just call a cab. I didn¡¯t include him in the list originally, hence I only asked for 10 cars. Now look what happened, I have to use a car to fetch my good friends and he has nowhere to sit!¡± Han Siyu stated coldly. Meng Cairu looked at Chen Hao in disgust. How superfluous he was! At that moment, she impatiently said, ¡°Chen Hao, why not catch a cab yourself? At most, I will pay for your expenses. Ok, ok, Siyu, let¡¯s go now!¡± Meng Cairu shouted for Han Siyu to leave quickly. Why was she in a hurry to ask Han Siyu to leave? Because Meng Cairu just thought of a topic that involved a certain someone to chat with Han Siyu and she was eager to do so. Chen Hao did not want Yang Hui and the rest of them to wait up on him. He told them that he would catch a cab himself, and he even borrowed Yang Hui¡¯s powerbank. The moment the fleet of cars left, Chen Hao flipped open his phone. He decided to look at his WeChat messages. He even had a new WeChat ID. His inbox was full of Han Siyu¡¯s messages. And in it were her pictures. ¡°Ordinary guy, I''m sending you my best photos, ok?¡± ¡°Ordinary guy, are you there? Don¡¯t you think that I''m pretty?" The text was followed by a pouting Emoji. Chen Hao was speechless. There were just too many messages and below them were some pictures of her. Some of them were pictures of her slender legs and to be honest, the pictures were quite explicit. The pictures caused Chen Hao¡¯s heart to thump wildly. ¡°Am I beautiful, Ordinary Guy?¡± ¡°Still alright I guess. The pictures are just too ordinary. It¡¯s not exciting enough! Haha.¡± It seemed that Chen Hao was still angry with Han Siyu. Thus, he sent the messages hinting her that he wanted something more explicit. Unexpectedly, Han Siyu who left just now answered him within a few seconds. ¡°You¡¯re so naughty, Ordinary Guy! Wait till I am free, I will send you some pictures that would definitely satisfy you.¡± Her words made Chen Hao horny. At this moment, Meng Cairu sent him a message as well. ¡°Ordinary Guy, what are you doing? Today, our entire ss is attending a celebratory party for your beloved Han Siyu. Haha, you have made her famous. Hence, you should be today¡¯s main character! By the way, do you like Han Siyu? Why don¡¯t you pursue her?¡± Meng Cairu secretly sent him this message. To be honest, her jealousy was apparent. Unbeknownst to her, Meng Cairu had created an image of her ideal boyfriend modeled after Ordinary Guy, although she had never seen him before. ¡°I couldn¡¯t make it in time. My ride hasn¡¯t arrived yet!¡± This was mind numbing. Why did he always have to be their target? Chen Hao replied in anger. His ride really hadn¡¯t arrived yet. ¡°Hahaha, Ordinary Guy, with your wealth, I am sure that buying a car is not a problem for you!¡± Meng Cairu answered back. Obviously, she misunderstood his meaning. She thought that he didn''t own a car when he said that he was waiting for his ride. At this moment, the cab arrived. Chen Hao typed in a few more sentences casually and ended both of their conversations. The only thing that piqued his interest now was the explicit photos that Han Siyu promised to take for him. He would take a good look at it when he was free. Chen Hao had arrived at the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant just as he put away his phone. The fleet of Audis were parked in front of the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant¡¯s main entrance. You could see how proud Han Siyu was. ¡°You! How could you be so clumsy?! If you can¡¯t deliver, get out of my sight as soon as possible. Look at you, I have seen my fair share of part-timers and I have never seen such a klutz like you. Get out of my sight! In addition to that, leave behind 1,000 topensate for this Steamed Abalone with Shark Fin and Fish Maw dish!¡± Chen Hao was about to go upstairs when he saw a young woman dragging another girl who was dressed like a waitress outside. ¡°Manager, I am so sorry. I had an injury on my arm hence I could not hold it properly!¡± ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t care whether you are injured or not. Do you know who Miss Han Siyu is? She is our Homecook Kitchen Restaurant¡¯s VVIP customer. Luckily you dropped the Steamed Abalone with Shark Fin and Fish Maw on the floor and did not burn Miss Han Siyu. Or else, you could not possibly bear the consequences even if I were to skin you alive!¡± The female manager continued to jab the girl¡¯s forehead violently. The girl could only lower her head and listen. She dared not dodge the blows. Maybe it was due to Chen Hao¡¯s position, but from his angle, the girl had snow-white skin while a few strands of hair were untucked. One look and you would feel some pity for her. Obviously the female manager had been reced by another person. And Chen Hao knew the person who had reced her. ¡°Zheng Yue, why are you yelling?¡± Chen Hao did not expect Zheng Yue to be the manager of Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. ¡°Huh?¡± When Zheng Yue heard the voice behind her, her entire body shuddered. She looked like a fish that had been in a shallow pond all these while and suddenly saw a huge body of water approaching. Or like a dried out farnd weing the approaching storm with a delighted heart. ¡°Young Master Chen?¡± Zheng Yue was so moved that she nearly cried. ¡°Why are you shouting? Are you afraid that nobody can hear you?¡± Chen Hao asked casually. ¡°Oh! I daren¡¯t do that anymore, Young Master Chen. I only shouted because I was so touched to see you!¡± Ever since that incidentst time where Zheng Yue caused Xu Chao and the rest of them to misunderstand that Chen Hao was her boyfriend, she had been warned by Li Zhenguo when he caught wind of it. If Young Master Chen did not agree to it, she could never contact him ever again in order to preserve his peaceful life. Of course, Zheng Yue obeyed hismands dutifully. Actually, Chen Hao did not hate his senior, Zheng Yue. On the contrary, he treated her as a half-friend since she had expressed her goodwill on several asions. At that moment, he smiled bitterly and said, ¡°By the way Zheng Yue, why are you the manager of Homecook Kitchen Restaurant? You''re not working in the Vi anymore?¡± ¡°Huh? Young Master Chen, did you not know that the Jin Ling Commercial Street¡¯s management was changed? It seemed like something big had happened. General Manager Li, Li Zhenguo was reced and the board of management of the Commercial Street is undergoing a reshuffling process!¡± Chen Hao was surprised. ¡°They are undergoing a reshuffling?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. He knew that this was all his sister¡¯s idea. But what was she thinking? Chapter 95 The Jealousy of Girls can be Horrific Chapter 95 The Jealousy of Girls can be Horrific The huge change Zheng Yue was referring to was the change in the management of Jin Ling Commercial Street. After Li Zhenguo left, Chen Xiao had handed the management of themercial street over to someone else. As to who would be sent over to manage themercial street, Chen Hao did not ask. His sister, Chen Xiao, did not mention it as well. I can always ask my sisterter. As for Zheng Yue, she was reassigned to be the manager for Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. Even though she did well in the vi, she was reassigned due to the change in management. It looked as if she got a promotion but in reality, it was a demotion. At the end of the day, these changes were more or less caused by Chen Hao. Chen Hao shifted his gaze onto the girl at the side. Truth be told, Chen Hao not only felt protective of her, but he sympathized with her as well. This girl reminded him of his past self. Back then, he was so poor he could barely make ends meet. Thus, he had to work a couple of jobs during the weekends. Being scolded and reprimanded was a constant urrence. ¡°Zheng Yue, don''t worry about this. She broke the bowl of Steamed Abalone with Shark Fin and Fish Maw by ident. Nobody was hurt so just order the kitchen to make another bowl!¡± Chen Hao ordered. Zheng Yue did not dare to refute. She rolled her eyes at the girl and left to instruct the kitchen to make another bowl. Zheng Yue knew that Han Siyu was an anchor whom Chen Hao liked. That exined why he treated Han Siyu as an honored guest. Otherwise, why had Young Master Chen funded 100 million into the live streaming app to please Han Siyu? Zheng Yue was extremely envious and jealous of that but she couldn¡¯t vent out. ¡°Th-thank you!¡± The girl kept her head down and bowed to Chen Hao. ¡°You''re wee!¡± Chen Hao smiled. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. He wanted to request for the girl to lift her head up so that he could see her face. The girl looked really beautiful from the side, and it was the kind of beauty you would usually neglect. However, she looked very prim and prudish so Chen Hao lost the interest of teasing her. After that, he left and headed upstairs. At this time, dishes were being served at Han Siyu¡¯s table. Without a doubt, Chen Hao was arranged to be seated at a table in the corner together with a group of ordinary students whereas Meng Cairu, Han Siyu and the others within her guild sat at the main table. They had gotten to know each other previously. There were a total of four banquet tables in the room and the atmosphere was naturally lively. ¡°Hey there, could you help me charge my phone?¡± Chen Hao was quiet and enjoying the food at his table. There were all sorts of meat¡ªchicken, braised pork and pork ribs, just to name a few, which tasted delicious. Chen Hao was famished. He was sitting close to a power socket thus at this moment, a girl came over and asked for his help. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s you!¡± The girl smirked as Chen Hao lifted his head up. The girl was Wang Xiaoti, whom he met in the park previously. She was also an anchor. She looked quiet and reserved by nature. However, she was also someone who often looked at people with prejudice. She had been prim and proper all throughout Han Siyu¡¯s celebratory party, even when speaking to Han Siyu¡¯s ssmates. That was because she found out that the wealthy tycoon, Ordinary Guy, came from Han Siyu¡¯s faculty. No matter how she questioned in the past, Han Siyu refused to tell the truth. However, the truth had been exposed now and she knew. Therefore, she thought of getting to know more people from the Literature Department. At the very least, she could meet more handsome guys from the department and she would have more reason to visit and hang out around the Literature Department at Jin Ling College. She might even have the opportunity to bump into Ordinary Guy and be noticed by him. After all, Wang Xiaoti had always felt that she looked as beautiful as Han Siyu. Yet, all she saw when Chen Hao looked up was bad table manners. His mouth was oily from devouring food. That disgusted her and disappointed her. After all, she knew how idiotic this loser was. ¡°Oh, it''s you! Sure, let me help you with that!¡± Chen Hao had seen her earlier but he did not want to greet her. He wiped his hands clean with a paper towel, getting ready to take her phone. ¡°Haha, it''s okay! Hey, could you help me charge my phone?¡± Wang Xiaoti asked a student sitting next to Chen Hao. After her phone was plugged in, Wang Xiaoti red disdainfully at Chen Hao and she returned to her seat at the main table. It was clear that she looked down on Chen Hao and after today, it further ascertained her thoughts. Chen Hao nonchntly smiled. He was used to being treated this way. It felt as if he was born with an attribute that naturally made beautiful girls scorn at him. Sigh. ¡°Hey everyone, today is a very important day to me! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have looked out for me, as well as Ordinary Guy, who brought me to greater heights. Even though he may not be here today or he may not be willing to reveal himself, I can safely say that without him, I would not be who I am today!¡± ¡°Thus, I would like to give a toast to him and drink three sses of wine as my way of saying thanks!¡± Han Siyu downed three sses of red wine. Everyone gave a big round of apuse. ¡°I suspect Ordinary Guy must be in love with Siyu¡ªdeeply in love, in fact!¡± Han Siyu¡¯s dormitory mate said out loud. What she said was very interesting and instantly captured everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Shoo! Mei, don''t sprout nonsense! If Ordinary Guy liked me, he would have revealed himself to me a long time ago!¡± Deep down, Han Siyu had actually hoped for that to happen. This question had crossed her mind countless times. Why was Ordinary Guy so kind to me? Does he like me? If he liked me, he would have revealed his identity. Although I have high standards and tall, handsome, rich guys rarely caught my attention, do you know that in my heart, Ordinary Guy, you have a special ce and you can¡¯tpare to the usual tall, rich and handsome guys. If you liked me even the slightest bit, I would wholeheartedly chase after you and wait for you. Although Han Siyu had never met Ordinary Guy, she chatted with him constantly over the phone. In addition to that, he also rescued her when she was in a crisis. All these had melted Han Siyu¡¯s cold heart and she hadpletely fallen for him. Therefore, this elusive matter made Han Siyu blush. ¡°I am speaking the truth! If he did not like Siyu, why would he invest so much time and effort into her? That''s why I am almost certain that he likes her! Everyone knows that Ordinary Guy likes toy low and does not like to be disturbed. I believe he is hinting at Siyu that he likes her with his actions. Then when the time is right, he would reveal himself to Siyu and they would be together!¡± ¡°Damn! Mei, it is a waste that you did not pursue a career in writing mystery novels! However, your inferences make so much sense. Maybe the day that we graduate would be the day Ordinary Guy confesses to Siyu. Siyu, you should not get too close with other guys during this time period even though your career is flourishing!¡± another girl chimed in with her thoughts. ¡°I understand!¡± Han Siyu nodded her head. Truth be told, there was no ce for other guys in her heart anymore. Only Ordinary Guy could fill the void in her heart. Even if other guys were richer, she wouldn¡¯t regret it! ¡°Let me go grab my phone!¡± Wang Xiaoti said and ced her ss down with a loud thud. She was jealous that everyone thought Ordinary Guy liked Han Siyu. Nobody could imagine just how jealous Wang Xiaoti was on the day Ordinary Gu¡¯ funded 100 million to the live streaming tform for Han Siyu. It was like Han Siyu had snatched her boyfriend away. She reached Chen Hao¡¯s table. ¡°Get out of my way!¡± Wang Xiaoti shoved Chen Hao aside roughly while tearing at this shirt. Chen Hao felt that this girl was crazy. Thus, he wanted to return her phone to her quickly so that she would leave. Yet, when Chen Hao¡¯s hand came into contact with her phone, it was like he ignited a dynamite. ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare a loser like you touch my phone? Put it down right now!¡± Wang Xiaoti ruthlessly smacked Chen Hao¡¯s hand. ¡°You are just a poor loser with nothing to show! Why are you touching my stuff? I no longer want this phone!¡± Smash! Wang Xiaoti went crazy. She picked up her phone and smashed it hard on the floor. Not only that, she lifted up the ss of red wine in front of Chen Hao and sshed it on his face. The entire room went silent. Everyone was stunned. Chen Hao, who had red wine all over his face, was also stunned¡­ Chapter 96 Faced with a Severe Problem Chapter 96 Faced with a Severe Problem The ssh of red wine from Wang Xiaoti stunned Chen Hao. This woman is crazy. She is most definitely lunatic. ¡°Xiaoti, what happened?¡± Han Siyu asked with concern. She had no idea she was the reason Wang Xiaoti was acting up in jealousy. ¡°Nothing. Siyu, I am feeling rather unwell so I will make a move first!¡± Wang Xiaoti did not retrieve her phone and she left right away with just her bag. She had no idea why she reacted like that as well. Ordinary Guy is incredible but he doesn''t even know that I exist! Why am I so jealous of something I can¡¯t control? Nobody knew what went through Wang Xiaoti¡¯s mind. Wang Xiaoti felt extremely agitated when everyone was discussing how Ordinary Guy was crushing on Han Siyu. Ladies were extremely jealous beings and this attribute was innate. The matter would be worse when two beautiful girls were facing off against each other. Thus, she was furious and needed to let off some steam. She could not direct her anger at Han Siyu so she conveniently chose to take it out on Chen Hao, the loser. She had never stopped looking down on Chen Hao. After her fit of anger, she disregarded his presence and left. ¡°Chen Hao, it''s all your fault! You made Xiaoti angry and caused her to leave! I regret inviting you here! Why did I even invite you?¡± Han Siyu¡¯s gaze at Chen Hao got even colder. Chen Hao disregarded Han Siyu and whatever she said. The only thing on his mind was getting revenge on Wang Xiaoti. As such, he also left and followed in Wang Xiaoti¡¯s footsteps. Oh, after sshing me with red wine and ridiculing me, you think you can just leave? Chen Hao was a changed man and no longer the man he was before. He decided to make an example out of Wang Xiaoti and demolish her self-esteem. However, he lost sight of Wang Xiaoti when he came out. That made Chen Hao extremely annoyed and resentful. Just then, a message popped up on Chen Hao¡¯s phone. He took a look and saw that it came from his ssmate, Hao Lan. She seemed to have said that she was feeling unwell, thus she did not attend Han Siyu¡¯s celebratory party. Upon seeing the content of the message, Chen Hao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Chen Hao, why are humans constantly in pain? There was nothing I could do to help my family. I only know how to drag them down. I have been fighting for my entire life and yet I still cannot catch up with other people. I am so useless. I¡¯ve made my dad ashamed for his entire life. I could not even buy new clothes for my sister. Now that my sister is sick, all I could do is look on helplessly as her sister. She couldn''t even afford to visit the hospital. My family paid for my tuition fees yet there was nothing I could do to repay them!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, tell me! What can I do to alleviate the pain?¡± Hao Lan sent him a long text message. Chen Hao realized that something was wrong. She could not help her family and was ming herself for it. From herst sentence, Chen Hao could tell that she was nning to do something. That gave Chen Hao a huge shock. Hao Lan was a member of their impoverished group. She was usually a quiet person. However, Chen Hao had been observing her in secret. He found out that although she disyed a sense of inferiority on the surface, deep down she was extremelypetitive. She wanted to be better than everyone else. Not only that, she was extremely ambitious. Of course she wanted to livefortably but she wanted more than just an ordinary life. She was a lot more driven than Chen Hao was. However, reality was harsh. The more you thought and dreamt about something, the worse the situation became. These problems that oppressed her had been around for a long while. This time around, her sister fell sick and she most definitely had no money. Not even a single penny. This situation must have really hurt her self esteem. Chen Hao empathized with her. Chen Hao was worried that she would be foolish and ended up hurting herself. Thus, Chen Hao quickly asked, ¡°Hao Lan, where are you now? Are you in the dormitory?¡± ¡°Yes, I am at the dormitory!¡± Hao Lan replied in an instant. There were not many people she could talk to in ss. Chen Hao was one of the people that she trusted. Chen Hao had no idea where Wang Xiaoti went. If he were to return to the party, he would face the mocking and sneering of Han Siyu and the others. Also, Chen Hao did not want to reveal his identity just yet. Furthemore, Hao Lan had worked with Chen Hao in the same impoverished group for three years. Even though they were not exactly the best of friends, Chen Hao sympathized with her. Therefore, Chen Hao could not bear to leave Hao Lan alone by herself. Chen Hao decided not to return to the party. Instead, he took a cab and went over to the girl dormitory. He signed himself in at the counter, where a middle-aged woman was working. Then, he went up to the room where Hao Lan was residing. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Hao Lan opened the door and was surprised to see Chen Hao. Her eyes were swollen from crying. ¡°Hao Lan, are you okay? I am here to check in on you!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°I am alright. No need to trouble you. I feel that there is no point in living anymore. My presence only drags other people down and I am redundant!¡± Hao Lan sat on her bed, covered her eyes and started sobbing again. ¡°Stop spouting nonsense! Hao Lan, I was the same as you back then. When I was young, my father told me that our family was in huge debt and we were very poor. My sister started working even before graduating from high school because of me! My sister had excellent grades and yet she gave up on her high school exam!¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Chen Hao wanted to console Hao Lan. Due to the fact that both of them experienced being very poor, memories of his past came back to his mind. It worked and Hao Lan stopped crying. She stared at Chen Hao. Chen Hao continued saying, ¡°Did you know the amount of pressure that was on my shoulders? The expectations of my family members were weighing down on me. There was only one way out for me! I studied so hard and fought with my life in order to seed! I was done being looked down by other people!¡± ¡°At the end of the day, so what? I was still constantly bullied and ridiculed by others. Whenever I met someone, I always felt I was of a lower status than them and I was cheap. When I saw girls, I did not dare to talk to them. I felt that they would look down on me!¡± ¡°The truth was that they did look down on me and constantly mocked me. However, I told myself that I have to continue living my own life happily. All the humiliation would eventually fade away. Ultimately, I came to a conclusion!¡± Chen Hao was starting to be emotional. Hao Lan hurriedly asked, ¡°What conclusion did youe to?¡± ¡°The conclusion is that a person should focus on their current circle of influence. Only aim toplete things that are within the current stage of your life. That way, you won''t suffer and be in pain. Think about it, you are currently studying and expanding your knowledge yet you are thinking about how to make money and earn more money. Is this realistic?¡± ¡°Yes, I do want to make a lot of money! However, I am unable to do so. It¡¯s easy for you to say. You won a lottery and you are much luckier than others!¡± Hao Lan said disappointedly. ¡°I am indeed lucky but you have to believe that eventually that day wille to you as well! There¡¯s light at the end of every tunnel. Don''t be oppressed by the situation. What you should be thinking about is a solution to resolve this!¡± Chen Hao advised. Hao Lan kept her head low and replied, ¡°Alright, I understand. Chen Hao, thank you. Give me some time to think about it!¡± Chen Hao had not given advice to others before thus he had no idea how to do so. However, now that he knew about Hao Lan¡¯s problem, he could not sit by idly. After all, she was a decent ssmate and he had to lend a helping hand. Bang! At this moment, they could hear the dormitory door being mmed on. It was as if the people outside wanted to smash through the door. As such, Hao Lan walked over to open the door. A slightly plump middle-aged woman rushed in. She had a wrinkled face and her eyebrows were tattooed. They looked like two caterpirs lying on her face. ¡°No wonder you refused to open the door. You cheap woman! You were hiding a man in your dorm! Your father was still telling me how hardworking you were in school. Bullsh*t, you cheap woman!¡± ¡°Mother! Stop spouting nonsense! This is Chen Hao, he is my ssmate and he''s here to pay me a visit!¡± Hao Lan started crying. ¡°Don''t address me as your mother! I am not your mother! Whoever you are, what are you doing here? Are you trying to rape my daughter? I am going to report you to the police now!¡± The middle-aged woman took out her phone. Hao Lan panicked. She quickly said, ¡°Chen Hao, leave first. Nheless, thank you for dropping by today!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Hao was tempted to scold this crazy b*tch. However, since she was Hao Lan¡¯s mother, he was in no position to say anything. ¡°What kind of mother is this?!¡± Chen Hao silently muttered under his breath and left. He had no idea if Hao Lan¡¯s mother was her biological mother. How could her mother address her as a cheap woman and scold her like that? Chen Hao was feeling extremely unhappy. He had been reprimanded for no reason multiple times today by crazy b*tches. Thus, he nned to take a walk in the park. Right then, his phone rang. His sister was calling him. Chen Hao picked it up and wanted to ask about the matter of Jin Ling Commercial Street. Just as the call connected and before he could say anything, he heard the nervous voice of his sister. ¡°Brother, something bad has happened! I''m in big trouble!¡± Chapter 97 To Spend One Billion in Seven Days Chapter 97 To Spend One Billion in Seven Days ¡°Huh? What happened, sister?¡± Chen Hao¡¯s heart tightened. They had a very close rtionship with each other. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t lying when he told Hao Lan that his sister did not take her high school entrance exam just so he could continue his studies. At that time, there were both raised in poverty. Not only did his sister withdraw herself from the high school entrance exam, she also sacrificed a lot for him in the past. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it anymore, my dear brother. You do know how abnormally strict our family rules are. One of the rules states that no matter how much you earn or spend, it must be recorded!¡± ¡°Even if you spent as little as a few billion, it must be reflected in the family¡¯s records. You can never forsake your family! The transactions you performed with your bank cards are all being recorded as well!¡± ¡°Yes, I know about this!¡± This was one of the Chen family¡¯s rules. You could spend your money or the family¡¯s money as much as you wanted. However, you can never keep it a secret from the head of the family, which was your own father. You couldn¡¯t even use an alias to keep the money. ¡°Sister, did you perform some transactions that were not recorded?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°That¡¯s right, f*ck my life! I only realized it today. When my poverty days were over, I took the one billion that our mum gave me and spent it. One day, I drank too much and was craving some food from one of those chain stores. Hence, I asked my assistant to buy one for me!¡± ¡°Damn, did you know what my stupid assistant did? She actually bought the brand for 60 million. It wasn¡¯t a really famous brand back then. However, since then, that brand has be famous and is making me a profit of approximately two billion. I forgot all about it because who would have thought that the stupid girl actually bought the entire shop!¡± ¡°Then, I wanted to spend the two billion in secret. I¡¯ve only managed to spend half of it before our father found out. It¡¯s because I have bought so much stuff but I did not touch a single penny of our family¡¯s fortune. So, I am very terrified right now since I have broken our family¡¯s rules. My dear brother, I would have to be raised in poverty again for one month! Our father is a traditional person. He would never Content held by N?velDrama.Org. listen to our mother¡¯s advice!¡± ¡°Thank God, I thought that you were in big trouble. It¡¯s only one month, and time flies very fast!¡± Chen Hao wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead. His sister really knew how to make a fuss about nothing. ¡°No! My dear brother, I can¡¯t even bear a single day in poverty and you¡¯re telling me I have to do it for a month? I don¡¯t care, you need to help me, you must!¡± His sister nearly cried on the phone. ¡°Ok, ok. How do I help?¡± ¡°Hehe, help me spend the remaining one billion within 7 days. Don¡¯t leave a single cent behind! Since you aren¡¯t staying with us, our father won¡¯t investigate you that thoroughly!¡± Sputter! Chen Hao nearly fainted. ¡°You want me to spend one billion in 7 days?¡± To be honest, it wasn¡¯t the first time Chen Haoid his eyes on this amount of money. After all, his sister did use his name to invest in certain businesses on Jin Ling Commercial Street. Every month, there were at least a few billion flowing into his ount. Hence, Chen Hao wasn¡¯t short of money anymore. He nned to invest using this money. However, he felt that it was too extravagant to squander away one billion just like that! It would be good if he could use that one billion to invest in something, but to squander it away like that would be considered wasteful. After all, he was unlike his sister, who seemed to have a certain hatred for money. She could rack up a few billion in expenditure within a single month. ¡°It¡¯s only one billion, can¡¯t you spend it? Brother, why don¡¯t you buy a vehicle then? I could rmend a Germanpany to you. You could buy a jet from them!¡± Chen Hao was so stunned that he could not utter a single word. ¡°I don¡¯t care! I don¡¯t want to live in poverty for one month. By hook or by crook, you better spend it all within 7 days! I will send you the money now!¡± After finishing her sentence, Chen Xiao immediately hung up the phone. So what if she were to be raised in poverty for 1 month? How could she ask me to spend one billion? Why was she making my life so difficult! Chen Hao grabbed at his hair in anguish. He could spend the money on a jet. That would deplete the money quickly. However, he had no use for a jet now! Besides, Chen Hao still had the mentality of stretching his money to the maximum even until now. This would be hard for him. Ping! The bank had already sent him a message, indicating that the money was deposited into his ount. His sister was really efficient. But how should he spend it? Sigh! If he were to invest it, his family would definitely know about it. However, if he were to buy something with it, his father might not notice it. One billion! How much did he need to buy in order to use it all up? This was so frustrating! Chen Hao patted his head. He wasn¡¯t in the mood to shop around anymore and decided to go back to his dorm to sleep. Three days went by in a blink of an eye and Chen Hao still did not have any idea how to spend his one billion. On the third day, three incidents happened that was worth mentioning. Firstly, Hao Lan had asked for a leave. She was forcefully taken away by her mother from college. Chen Hao was very pissed about it. He wanted to help Hao Lan out, but she wasn¡¯t online and could not be reached at the moment. He was actually prepared to inquire about her wellbeing within these two days and give her a sum of money. Secondly, Han Siyu had be an influential figure on campus. In addition to that, she participated in the SameCity Live Streaming app¡¯s promotional activities and became the spokesperson for the app¡¯s homepage. She was on a roll! Thirdly, Li Zhenguo nned to upgrade the SameCity Live Streaming app into a software for the whole country. He even nned to invest 2 billion more into this app and make it into an early tform Chen Hao had given him the green light and quickly transferred the money over to him. After all, it was his first investment and Chen Hao wanted it to be a sess! Today, Chen Hao was having his breakfast alone in the cafeteria. He started hearing people chattering away beside him. ¡°Hey, did you know? Today¡¯s the day that Cloud Manor is put on sale! Originally, the price was fixed at 700 million but now it has been increased to 800 million!¡± ¡°What do you mean it is on sale? Today is just an exhibition day. Who would buy a house that costs 800 million? It is not even an investment!¡± ¡°But the Cloud Manor is really worth 800 million! Some of its pictures are circting on the inte. It¡¯s just too luxurious up there. If you were to stay there, it would be akin to staying in a sky pce!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. Everybody says that it¡¯s a manor but in reality it¡¯s just a tourist attraction because the entry price for the exhibition this time is nearly a few hundred thousand. There are only limited tickets avable!¡± ¡°Damn! That¡¯s too much!¡± Listening to the people chattering away beside him, Chen Hao suddenly remembered that today was the exhibition day of the Cloud Manor. He had an appointment with Huang Yonghao to go there together to take a look. Right at this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. It was Huang Yonghao. ¡°Brother, I aming over now to pick you up to attend the Cloud Manor Exhibition. I am holding on to your ticket!¡± Huang Yonghao said delightedly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to pick me up. I know the address of the Cloud Manor. I will go there by myself. You can give me the ticket when I reach.¡± ¡°Ok, ok. So, it¡¯s the VIP seat then. I don¡¯t mind, sorry to trouble you!¡± ¡°Ok, in terms of buying, I need to take a good look at it first. If the Cloud Manor is really that good, I might consider buying it. Haha, ok then, we¡¯ve agreed. I wille over after my meal!¡± Chen Hao ended his call with Huang Yonghao grudgingly. This guy really knew how to encourage him to buy. He didn¡¯t want to keep Huang Yonghao waiting. Hence, Chen Hao called Yang Hui and told him that he was taking the day off. Then, he quickly gobbled up the te of egg fried rice and got up. Only then did he realize that silence had befallen the entire cafeteria and all of the students were staring at him in astonishment! Chapter 98 Meeting a Familiar Face at the Entrance of the Exhibition Chapter 98 Meeting a Familiar Face at the Entrance of the Exhibition Chen Hao stood up and noticed that there were many people in the cafeteria. All of them were looking at him in astonishment at the moment, especially the guys and girls who were discussing Cloud Manor just now. It seemed that Chen Hao was too engrossed in his conversation and was chatting away with Huang Yonghao just now that he had forgotten where he was. His words naturally surprised the crowd. ¡°Pfft!¡± Someone burst intoughter, thereby breaking the silence that hung in the cafeteria. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. Is this guy an idiot? Did he just say he wanted to take a look at the Cloud Manor?¡± ¡®Hahaha, could it be that his job was giving him too much pressure and it was driving him crazy?¡± ¡°He even said that he was a VIP! I bet he meant to wee the VIP while kneeling in front of them! Hahaha!¡± ¡°What a moron¡­¡± All of them broke into peals ofughter. Some of them even ridiculed Chen Hao unreservedly. Chen Hao cleaned his mouth and shook his head while smiling bitterly. It was very hard to exin the situation to them! Chen Hao grabbed a cab in front of the school¡¯s entrance and arrived at the foot of the mountain, where the Cloud Manor¡¯s exhibition hall was located. The entrance was filled with tons of luxury cars. There was a continuous stream of noble people entering and leaving. Standing at the front of the entrance, Chen Hao obviously saw two pathways leading to the inside of the hall. One of the passages was reserved for the VIPs while the other one was for ordinary customers. Of course, the ordinary customers were extraordinary in their own rights. It was just a matter of rtivity. ¡°Huh? Where¡¯s Huang Yonghao? I thought he told me to wait in front of the VIP entrance?¡± Chen Hao did not see Huang Yonghao anywhere. Was there another entrance at the end of the VIP pathway? Chen Hao pondered about it for a moment. Then, he lifted his foot and was about to walk in. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Suddenly, a female voice rang behind him. There was a hint of surprise and doubt in her voice. Chen Hao turned around and saw a beautiful woman d in a ck uniform. She was tall and had a hot body. Her face was beautiful beyondparison. He couldn¡¯t help but look shocked. ¡°Tang Ran?¡± Wasn¡¯t this Su Tongxin¡¯s second cousin? The one who caused him so much trouble during Su Tongxin¡¯s grandmother¡¯s birthday?! After she knew that the Lamborghini belonged to him, he recalled that she wore quite aplicated expression. Originally, after this incident was over, Chen Hao thought that he wouldn¡¯t meet her again for a very long time. He did not know what would be the oue of his rtionship with Su Tongxin. He was not sure even until now. He only had meals with her asionally these past two days. Unexpectedly, they met each other here again after a few days. There was a tag on Tang Ran¡¯s chest that read: Design Director, Tang Ran. I¡¯ll be damned, she designed Cloud Manor? He knew that Tang Ran was quite capable and quite studious. She was also distant and cold. However, he did not expect her to be that good! Wait, how old was she again? She was only 25 years old! As if satisfied with Chen Hao¡¯s expression, Tang Ran casually smiled and said, ¡°Haha, today is Cloud Manor¡¯s exhibition day, why are you here?¡± ¡°I came¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you are here for the exhibition! You can take a look around, but let me make this clear, you could never afford this manor! I know that you have won a few million in the lottery and even bought a luxury car. However, don¡¯t even think about buying this manor. I don¡¯t know how much money you have left. If you are nning to buy a house, I can rmend a few normal-priced ones!¡± Before Chen Hao managed to finish his sentence, Tang Ran pushed up her sses and said coldly. Yes, she was shocked when she saw that 20 million luxury car. She even suspected that Chen Hao was a rich second generation heir. In the end, he was not. Chen Hao was just a loser who had gotten rich by winning the lottery. She could not believe that she felt so regretful on that day for ill-treating him. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Come to think of it, she felt so ridiculous at that time because she had actually wanted topete with her cousin for Chen Hao! E! She nearly vomited in disgust! ¡°I just wanted to take a look!¡± Chen Hao knew that there was a hint of disdain within Tang Ran¡¯s words. He really did not want to get too entangled with her, hence he could only say that. ¡°Haha, you can still take a look around. Other than that, I feel the need to warn you Chen Hao. You are my cousin¡¯s boyfriend after all. Don¡¯tpare yourself to those rich second generation heirs and the likes. Their family¡¯s businesses are worth far more than your own. You can only sit idly around until your money runs out someday. To be honest, with your capabilities, I highly doubt that you would be able to provide for my cousin!¡± Tang Ran was as prideful as a peacock. Sure, you were lucky, Chen Hao! You won tens of millions and even drove a 20 million Lamborghini around. However, after thorough investigations, Tang Ran only thought that Chen Hao was a moron, a She did not have any other feelings for him at all after that! Hence, when they met each other, she did not spare him a bout of lecturing. She finally had her revenge for when her pride was hurtst time. ¡°Tang Ran, is he the brother-inw that you were telling us about? The one that won the lottery and bought the Lamborghini? He is quite a looker! Why is he behaving like this?¡± ¡°He looks like a cautious person. I am afraid that he has never experienced such a grand asion nor seen so many people before. Sigh! It¡¯s understandable. He was so poor for such a long time and lived out his life in the countryside. Of course he wouldn¡¯t have this kind of knowledge and experience. With so much money, it is inevitable that he would have the attitude of an upstart!¡± ¡°Yes. He would definitely regret it after spending all his money. It would be toote by then. Sigh! There are better ways to spend this money, like using it to improve himself, yet he spent hundreds of thousands to participate in this kind of upscale event. Do he have to go that far?¡± There were two girls and a guy standing behind Tang Ran. The girls were quite stunning, and they were almost as beautiful as Tang Ran. The guy was quite handsome too. He looked like a rich second generation heir. All of them were almost the same age. They looked to be about 25 years old. Seeing Tang Ran treating Chen Hao with such contempt, they were inclined to do so as well. They started ridiculing him without much hesitation. They started to humiliate Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, did you spend more than a hundred thousand to buy the entrance ticket? Howe I don¡¯t see Tongxin anywhere? Does she know about this?¡± Tang Ran asked coldly. ¡°Of course she knows. We had a meal together yesterday. However, she ran into some inconvenience and could not make it! As for the tickets, I have not bought it yet!¡± To be honest, Chen Hao often ate his meals with Su Tongxin these past two days. Initially, he wanted to bring Su Tongxin here to take a look around but she got her period. She felt terribly ufortable, hence she could note at all! The tickets were arranged by Huang Yonghao, therefore Chen Hao did not need to buy it. ¡°Oh my God, this person is really getting on my nerves!¡± To be honest, Tang Ran really wanted Chen Hao to get lost. However, no matter how much of a loser Chen Hao was in her eyes, he was still Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend. As the saying went, you need to look at the master first before beating the dog. Hence, Tang Ran could only swallow her anger. When she saw that Chen Hao was quite persistent to go in to have a look, she immediately said, ¡°You should count yourself lucky to have met me today. I still have some empty slots here. Other than my friends, I will give you one of these slots. You can go in with them. Remember this, once you enter, don¡¯t say a word to anybody!¡± Tang Ran reminded him and threw a ticket at his face impatiently. As the Director, it was only natural that she had a few empty slots under her name. ¡°Fang Qing, Xu Na and Wang Shuai, I will be going inter to introduce the Cloud Manor to the guests. Please bring him along with you. He is clueless about everything!¡± Tang Ran said. ¡°But I will be meeting with a few friends from the businessmunity. If we were to bring him along¡­ Sigh! Ok then, let¡¯s find a ce for him to sit down quietlyter!¡± Wang Shuai was quite inconvenienced. If he knew this earlier, he would have bought the tickets himself. A few hundred thousand was nothing to him. However, since he knew Tang Ran, why would he waste that kind of money? He felt disgraced as he had to bring along such an ugly loser! However, he still agreed to it. ¡°Wang Shuai, who are you meetingter? Bring us along too. We want to meet them as well, ok?¡± Fang Qing and Xu Na were really gorgeous girls. However, at this moment, they willingly stayed by Wang Shuai¡¯s side. They even took the initiative to approach him. ¡°Ok, ok. Let¡¯s bring him in first then. Sigh!¡± With a sigh, they prepared to enter the manor together. Chen Hao never expected to get mixed up in this confusion when he came here. However, since Tang Ran told him to stick together with Fang Qing and the rest of them, Chen Hao did not feel that it was right to refuse her. Holding his ticket, he walked toward the VIP entrance. ¡°Damn! Are you crazy? Come back here!¡± When Tang Ran saw Chen Hao walking toward the VIP entrance, she was so mad that she started spouting profanities. ¡°That is the VIP entrance and it¡¯s reserved for the rich tycoons of each city in Jiang Nan Province. Are you out of your f*cking mind!?¡± Fang Qing was getting quite impatient and scolded Chen Hao. ¡°Oh, so you guys don¡¯t use this entrance?!¡± Chen Hao could only shake his head helplessly¡­ Chapter 99 I Don’t Want to Be Next to Him Chapter 99 I Don¡¯t Want to Be Next to Him ¡°Chen Hao, are you an idiot? It feels like you have learned nothing after studying in college for three years. Why are you standing there? Quickly go in with Wang Shuai, Fang Qing and the others. I really don¡¯t know why my cousin has a crush on a loser like you!¡± Tang Ran said coldly. She didn¡¯t want toment on this matter anymore. Chen Hao felt awkward too. He had no choice but to ditch Huang Yonghao and follow Wang Shuai and the others to go into the exhibition hall. The VIPne and normalne led the attendees to their respective seats. The attendees who entered through the VIPne would be sitting in the front row of the exhibition hall, while ordinary people like Chen Hao could only sit at the back. ¡°Hey, Wang Shuai, it¡¯s you! How¡¯re you doing? How¡¯s your dad?¡± ¡°Uncle Li, you¡¯re here too! We¡¯re fine, all of us are doing fine! My dad often talks about you!¡± As soon as Wang Shuai entered the hall, he saw plenty of people whom he knew. A middle-aged man greeted him. ¡°Wang Shuai, who are these two beauties with you? Which one is your girlfriend?¡± ¡°They are my ssmates. I don¡¯t have a girlfriend yet, Uncle Li!¡± Wang Shuai chuckled. At the same time, he waved to the people whom he was familiar with. Frankly speaking, he felt proud of himself for knowing so many people here. It made him swell in pride. ¡°Hi, Mr. Lee Wangfeng. I have seen your profile on the Jin Ling Economic Times before. ¡± Fang Qing tidied up her hair and said in a very demure manner. ¡°It¡¯s nothing fancy. But Wang Shuai, as your uncle, I have to tell you that marriage is the most important thing in your life. Never let go of someone who is precious to you, else, you¡¯ll regret it!¡± While saying that, Lee Wangfeng shook hands with Fang Qing and Xu Na. Lee Wangfeng owned a franchise business selling kitchen and bathroom products. It was actually a big business and not to be underestimated. ¡°Uncle Li, I¡¯ll bear that in mind! By the way, didn¡¯t Mingfei follow you here?¡± ¡°That little girl saw some of her ssmates from Jiang Nan College and went over to greet them. She is now in her third year but she is still so reckless all the time. I¡¯m so worried about her. I really want to find her a good boyfriend. Oh, she¡¯s back!¡± Lee Wangfeng said in a smile. ¡°Girl, say hello to Wang Shuai and his two pretty friends!¡± ¡°Hello Wang Shuai. Hello sisters!¡± Lee Mingfei smiled and said. She was really tall and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. The expensive sportswear outfit on her made her look alluring. Lee Mingfei¡¯s gaze fixed on Chen Hao who was behind Wang Shuai presently. She couldn¡¯t help but frown when she saw his old-fashioned clothes but she still greeted him, ¡°Hi!¡± ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t notice him. This is?¡± Only then did Lee Wangfeng notice Chen Hao. ¡°Uncle Li, this is Chen Hao. The director, Tang Ran, asked me to bring him here to have a look. He¡¯s from the countryside and has never been to such huge events before.¡± Wang Shuai scratched his head helplessly. How embarrassing! Why did I let him follow me? Although Wang Shuai had just mocked him, Chen Hao saw Lee Wangfeng looking at him and lifting up his hand. He thought Lee Wangfeng wanted to greet him and shake his hand. How rude would it be if he didn¡¯t react to it. Chen Hao nodded his head and smiled at him, lifting up his hand as well. Unexpectedly, he said, ¡°Alright Wang Shuai, you have to be mypanion today. Come, sit next to me!¡± Lee Wangfeng had already moved his gaze away from Chen Hao. He raised his hand because he wanted to pull Wang Shuai''s arm to ask him to sit next to him. He directly ignored Chen Hao! Chen Hao felt embarrassed because Lee Wangfeng left his hand hanging in the air. Apparently, Lee Mingfei had no interest in Chen Hao as well. She then sat on the other side of Lee Wangfeng. ¡°Pfft! It¡¯s so embarrassing. Why don¡¯t you put your hands down now? Mr. Li is a prestigious person. Why would he shake hands with a nobody? Do you think that you¡¯re as noble as Wang Shuai?¡± Fang Qing was speechless. ¡°She¡¯s right. But Fang Qing, there¡¯s a saying which is true. A person with no grace would never have it, even if he is rich. Look at Wang Shuai, not only is his family rich, he is always graceful too. As a contrast, look at Chen Hao, he is just a nobody who won the lottery.¡± Xu Na also shook her head while looking at Chen Hao. Man, does this guy not have any self-awareness? The two of them thought. To be honest, Chen Hao felt extremely miserable. He was annoyed that he had received a cold shoulder. Well, I¡¯ll just have a seat first. I don¡¯t care what they say about me! Chen Hao then sat down. Of course, he sat at the back. Lee Mingfei turned her head to look around. She knitted her brows again when she saw Chen Hao sitting behind her. She then stood up and walked to Wang Shuai and asked with a smile, ¡°Wang Shuai, why don¡¯t we change our seats?¡± ¡°Huh? Why do you want to change seats? This sitting arrangement is fine!¡± ¡°Ohe on, can we switch our seats?¡± ¡°Okay okay. Although Chen Haoes from a small ce, he is considered clean. I don¡¯t see a problem!¡± ¡°No, you know that I¡¯m a clean freak. I can¡¯t stand this kind of person. I beg you please!¡± Lee Mingfei begged. She was about to burst into tears. ¡°Come on, Wang Shuai, just change the seat with Mingfei. Furthermore, there¡¯s a saying, one takes on the color of one''spany. Keep a distance with dubious people. Have you forgotten what I have told you before? You¡¯ll only get to see a higher and farther view when you stand on a giant¡¯s shoulder.¡± Lee Wangfeng reprimanded coldly at this time. The two families were close friends. Moreover, Lee Wangfeng had always been a straightforward person. He was strict in educating the youngsters too. Wang Shuai could only nod his head in silence. When Chen Hao heard his words, his face turned pale with rage. We met by chance here today. I don¡¯t mind if you don¡¯t have manners, but shouldn¡¯t you at least give me respect? What do you mean by dubious? Just because I don¡¯t look as rich as Wang Shuai, does it mean that I¡¯m a dubious person? Fang Qing and Xu Na just sneered as they quietly listened to Lee Wangfeng lecturing Wang Shuai. They thought that any words that came from this sessful businessman would be very useful to them in their life. By this time, more and more people had entered the hall. There was a beautiful emcee standing on the high tform in the exhibition hall. She began her introduction and asked everyone to quiet down. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, wee to the Cloud Manor Sales Exhibition Ceremony! Before we officially start the ceremony, let''s wee our VIP guests from all cities in Jiangnan province with a round of apuse!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wee the founder of Huang¡¯s Group, the richest man in Suzhou city, Mr. Huang Hongyun and his son Mr. Huang Yonghao!¡± ¡°Great!¡± ¡°Mr. Huang Hongyun and his son are here too. Based on his son''s spending habit, I think Huang¡¯s Group will purchase this Cloud Manor which is worth 800 million.¡± ¡°Impossible. Even if you were really rich, yourpany would have worthypetitors and you would need to fight them with money. Who would have the extra money to buy and stay in a mansion that is worth 800 million? Once thepetition intensifies, having an extra 1,000 might make or break a ¡°You¡¯re right. It¡¯s impossible for the Huang family to buy it. It¡¯s true that they are the richest family in Suzhou city now, but there are other powerful enterprises in Suzhou too. If they have 800 million, they could use it to defend and strengthen theirpany status.¡± A number of people were discussing among themselves softly. As the music sounded, Huang Yonghao came into the hall with his dad. But there was an obvious p mark on Huang Yonghao¡¯s face. It seemed like he had been pped. Chen Hao understood that Huang Yonghao was pped by his dad. What could be the reason? It was probably because of his text message to Huang Yonghao, informing him that he would be following someone else into the hall as he didn¡¯t see Huang Yonghao at the entrance. He asked Huang Yonghao not to wait for him. In conclusion, Huang Yonghao was pped because of Chen Hao. Meanwhile, Huang Yonghao raised his head to search for Chen Hao. However, there were about two to three hundred people in the hall. It was nearly impossible for him to find Chen Hao who was sitting behind Wang Shuai. ¡°Next, let¡¯s give a round of apuse to wee our next VIP guest of this Exhibition Ceremony, who is also well-known in the Jin Lin Commercial Business Community, Mr. Li Zhenguo!¡± ¡°My god, Mr. Li is here too! Does Mr. Li want to purchase this mansion? I think it¡¯s possible. In Jin Ling, no one canpete with Mr. Li!¡± Everyone continued their discussion. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°It¡¯s impossible for Mr. Li to buy it, Wang Shuai. Do you know why?¡± Chapter 100 I Am Buying This Manor Chapter 100 I Am Buying This Manor ¡°Huh? It''s impossible right, Uncle Lee? Mr. Li Zhenguo is the richest man in Jin Ling. He has the ability to buy it!¡± Wang Shuai asked in shock. ¡°Haha, you''re wrong. Mr. Li Zhenguo used to have the ability. But now, I heard that Mr. Li Zhenguo has been transferred away from Jin Ling Commercial street. Jin Ling Commercial Group and Commercial Street will be managed by someone else!¡± ¡°Moreover, even though Mr. Li has been transferred away, I heard that he is still working for Young Master Chen. So at this time, he wouldn¡¯t buy the manor even if he had the ability to do so.¡± ¡°Huh? So General Manager Li has been transferred?!¡± ¡°Yes, since Young Master Chen has retained him, he has to tone down a bit!¡± Wang Shuai nodded solemnly to show that he understood. ¡°Wang Shuai, Dad, what are you guys talking about? Who is Young Master Chen? Why have I never heard you mention him before?¡± Lee Mingfei asked curiously. Judging from their conversation, Young Master Chen seemed to be someone who was very powerful. It seemed that the whole Jin Ling Commercial Group belonged to him. Fang Qing and Xu Na were both astounded. They had never been exposed to this kind of information before. Naturally, they were interested in it. ¡°Of course I have never told you before because I only heard about Young Master Chen¡¯s story from my friends yesterday. Although Mr. Li Zhenguo is powerful, he is just working for Young Master Chen. This is because the wholemercial street is owned by him!¡± ¡°Oh my god!¡± ¡°Shit!¡± Lee Mingfei, Fang Qing and Xu Na all widened their eyes. ¡°Besides, you''ve heard of Young Master Huang, haven''t you?¡± Lee Wangfeng said with a wry smile. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve heard of Young Master Huang. He is one of the richest descendants of wealthy families. He has a garage of sports cars. Before this, he even hosted a huge party for the descendants!¡± Lee Mingfei said. Lee Mingfei knew this because she was also invited. Unfortunately, her period came on that day, and it hurt so much that she couldn''t go at all. This was one of her biggest regrets because all the young girls worshipped Huang Yonghao. ¡°Haha, Huang Yonghao is actually the godbrother of Young Master Chen. The Huang family has clung tightly to the Chen family and as a result, has risen to be the richest family in Suzhou in just a few years!¡± Wang Shuai and others gaped widely. They didn¡¯t expect them to be connected in so many ways. At this time, all the attendees had finally arrived. The emcee introduced Tang Ran next and Tang Ran started to introduce the entire area around Cloud Manor. Although Chen Hao felt like he was about to burst in anger, he endured it. When Tang Ran started introducing the manor itself, he nced up at the screen that was showing pictures. Just one look and Chen Hao was attracted. This Cloud Manor was built ording to the geography of the mountain, as expected. It went straight into the clouds and looked like a pce in heaven. It was extremely luxurious. To be honest, Chen Hao was really interested. 800 million was a sky-high price! If it was before, even if he owned a lot of money, Chen Hao would not buy a house with 800 million even if he was very interested. But now, it was different. His sister had given him 1 billion to spend in seven days. He was frustrated because he had been thinking about how he should spend it. Now his chance was here. He would be killing two birds with one stone! The more he looked, the more excited Chen Hao was. The introduction went on for two hours. Everyone yearned for it. However, no one dared to buy it. Tang Ran seemed to be satisfied with the expression of the crowd. She then said with a smile, ¡°This Cloud Manor costs 800 million. I would like to ask if anyone here would like to purchase it?¡± Tang Ran said with a kind smile. ¡°I... don¡¯t want!¡± At this time, a CEO stood up, shouted and sat down quickly. This made the crowdugh loudly! Li Zhenguo alsoughed on the stage. Some CEOs liked to joke like this! N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Tang Ran then said, ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, this manor will not be auctioned. However, it¡¯s a firste first serve basis. Whoever can pay 800 million first will own this Cloud Manor!¡± ¡°Hahaha, indeed, no one is buying it!¡± Wang Shuai said with a smile. Lee Wangfeng said with a bitter smile, ¡°I have said that as long as you are a smart businessman, you would not waste the 800 million on a house. Unless¡­¡± ¡°I want it!¡± Before Lee Wangfeng had finished speaking, he heard a voice that was not very loud, but loud enough that everyone in the whole hall heard it. ¡°Hmm?¡± The whole crowd was thrown into confusion. All eyes turned to look at him. Lee Wangfeng and Wang Shuai were dumbfounded. They all turned around because it was not someone else who had shouted this sentence. It was the bumpkin brought in by Wang Shuai, Chen Hao! ¡°My God! Chen Hao, you are crazy? Don¡¯t you dare spout nonsense! Do you know the price you have to pay if you can''tplete the purchase?¡± ¡°It''s over. He''s not here to gain insight. This man is here to die!¡± Xu Nan and Fang Qing said in astonishment. They both wanted to p Chen Hao until he was dead. ¡°Hmph, what a ridiculous person!¡± Lee Wangfeng was staring. Is he really using this asion to sensationalise himself? Is he stupid or what? Chen Hao didn¡¯t care about what they said. He got up directly and walked toward the stage. ¡°Crazy. This bastard is absolutely crazy!¡± Tang Ran was also looking at Chen Hao, stunned! In short, apart from a few people, most of them were dumbfounded. ¡°Chen Hao, what''s the matter with you? You better leave now!¡± Tang Ran said angrily. She even shoved Chen Hao. ¡°I want to buy this manor. Why do I have to leave?¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Rubbish, you can''t even afford this manor!¡± Tang Ran was speechless. ¡°How do you know I can¡¯t afford it?¡± Chen Hao sneered, then looked at a group of staff from the bank standing next to him. ¡°Come here. I''m paying by card!¡± Although some banking specialists were confused, no matter how they looked at it, they didn¡¯t think that Chen Hao could even afford a few thousand. He even wanted to use his card. However, if the guests requested it, they couldn¡¯t refuse. They walked toward him immediately with the credit card machine. Chen Hao swiped his card effortlessly, input the password, did a face recognition check and a few more security checks. ¡°Ding! The transaction is sessful. The total amount transferred is 800 million... ¡± The system¡¯s automated voice could be heard clearly. After that, a dead silence ensued. 800 million! How could this person have 800 million? Oh My God! Tang Ran heard the machine loud and clear. She covered her mouth and dropped the microphone onto the ground because at this moment, her brain went nk! Gulp! Wang Shuai, who was below the stage, even gulped in difficulty. He waspletely dumbfounded, let alone the look on Xu Na and Fang Qing¡¯s faces. To be honest, from the first meeting, Xu Na, Fang Qing and Wang Shuai not only looked down on Chen Hao, they didn¡¯t even treat Chen Hao as a person. They just thought that he was a bumpkin who came from the vige. It was too cheap to have him following them around. But now, they felt like their faces were being pped numerous times. You looked down on him? You could never earn the amount of money he had even if you worked your whole life! I can¡¯t believe it! He¡¯s an extremely wealthy heir! ¡°Wang Shuai, w-who... who is he?¡± Lee Mingfei was shocked as well. ¡°I don''t know... I just know that his name is Chen Hao! Hey, look at Mr. Li Zhenguo, Huang Hongyun, Huang Yonghao, as well as those rich businessmen! Why are they all walking toward the stage?¡± Wang Shuai stammered. Chapter 101 A Crushed Self-Esteem Chapter 101 A Crushed Self-Esteem Li Zhenguo, Huang Hongyun and his father walked up the stage together and stood in a straight line. Under everybody¡¯s startled gaze, they bowed 90-degree to Chen Hao. ¡°Nice to meet you Young Master Chen! Congrattions on your purchase of the Cloud Manor!¡± Their voices rang out in unison as if it was nned. Bam! As soon as they uttered those words, it was as if somebody had thrown a bombshell into the crowd. Everybody was stunned. ¡°Young Master Chen! So this is Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°Oh my God! He¡¯s actually the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling, the richest tycoon in the nation?¡± All of them had their mouths wide open. They were exceptionally pleased and delighted at the same time. ¡°What? Young Master Chen? Chen Hao is Young Master Chen ?!¡± Tang Ran¡¯s legs nearly gave way as she stumbled backward. During thest family gathering, somebody had spected that Chen Hao was the rich tycoon, Young Master Chen. The theory was rejected by Tang Ran afterward because he did not look like it. However, the scene in front of her nearly caused her to faint. Young Master Chen! Chen Hao was actually Young Master Chen! No wonder 800 million was nothing in his eyes. He did not bat an eyelid even after buying a 20 million luxury car because he was one of the world''s richest second generation heir, Young Master Chen! He was the wealthiest person here! Tang Ran¡¯s face darkened. She really regretted it! Below the stage, Lee Wangfeng was feeling extremely regretful. Just now, Young Master Chen wanted to shake his hands and even smiled at him. It was such a great opportunity for him! However, he did not even look Young Master Chen in the eye! In addition to that, what did he say to Young Master Chen? He actually insulted Young Master Chen by calling him a dubious person. He even started lecturing him. Young Master Chen only smiled and said nothing at that time! At this moment, Fang Qing, Xu Na, Wang Shuai and Li Mingfei had their mouths so wide open that you could insert eggs into them. In short, these people wanted nothing more than for the ground to swallow them up right now. Chen Hao stood on top of the stage and looked at the dumbfounded audience. He only smiled indifferently. Why would he need to get angry because of them? Wouldn¡¯t it be better to teach them a lesson this way? It felt way better than beating them up. Chen Hao looked in Tang Ran¡¯s direction and said, ¡°Cousin Tang Ran, I have already bought the manor, shouldn¡¯t you give me my keys and bring me over to the actual site of the Cloud Manor?¡± ¡°Huh? I-I¡­ Ok Chen¡ªYoung Master Chen!¡± Tang Ran said with some difficulty. She did not know how to address Chen Hao anymore! She turned around and brought along Chen Hao and his entourage to the foot of the mountain where the Cloud Manor was located. ¡°Tang Ran, we would like to go as well. Can you ask Young Master Chen to bring us along too?¡± At this moment, both Fang Qing and Xu Na ran over to her. They reached Tang Ran¡¯s side and intentionally spoke those words out aloud. They wanted Chen Hao to hear their sincerity in repenting for their mistakes. They didn¡¯t care about dignity anymore. Why would they need such a useless thing?! The most important thing now was that they needed to make Young Master Chen happy so that he would forgive them. They believed that with their beauty, even if they did not catch his attention, at least they could stay by his side and be his maid. ¡°I-I cannot beg him.¡± Tang Ran¡¯s brain was nearly fried. How could she even think of begging another person? ¡°Young Master Chen, please bring us along, pretty please? It was our fault just now, all our fault! We will do anything as long as you forgive us!¡± Fang Qing and Xu Na¡¯s eyes were brimming with tears. To be honest, when he saw their attitudes, Chen Hao really looked down upon them in his heart. How could they change their attitudes toward him so rapidly? Chen Hao was very angry at the situation they put him in just now, thus he snapped, ¡°Ok, if you want me to forgive you, then bark like a dog!¡± It was purely words spoken out of anger. What he really wanted was for them to get lost. ¡°Woof! Woof! Woof!¡± ¡°Woof! Woof! Woof!¡± Unexpectedly, both of them started barking in front of the audience. They even wagged their bodies while saying, ¡°Young Master Chen, see how good I am at imitating a dog! What would you like this b*tch to do? I will learn it for you, ok?¡± They even stuck their tongues out at him! F*ck! Chen Hao¡¯s head nearly exploded. Both of them were really¡­ This was the first time in his life that Chen Hao hade across a woman who was even worse than Yang Xia. They literally had no bottom lines! They actually barked when they were told to do so! Actually, Fang Qing and Xu Na had decided to go all out. They must stick to Young Master Chen closely no matter what he wanted them to do! Their methods really worked. Chen Hao was rendered speechless. He waved his hands and said, ¡°Come along if you want then!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± At this moment, Lee WangFeng bellowed. He lifted both his hands and bent forward as he squeezed through the crowd and appeared in front of Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen! It was my fault for not recognizing such an important person like you. I hope you can forgive me. My name is Lee Wangfeng. We met each other just now!¡± Lee Wangfeng extended both his hands and wanted to shake Chen Hao¡¯s hands warmly. This was Young Master Chen. Lee Wangfeng could never offend this person, not even if he had a hundred lives! Young Master Chen could end your life in a matter of seconds! ¡°But I do not know you!¡± Chen Hao said indifferently as he put his hands back into his pockets. ¡°This¡­ Young Master Chen¡­ I am very sorry if my daughter and I offended you just now! We will apologize to you right this instant!¡± Lee Wangfeng was embarrassed. He waved his hands. Only then did Lee Mingfeie over, looking aggrieved. This loser was actually Young Master Chen? Who would have expected this? ¡°Young Master Chen, I am really sorry, please ept my apologies!¡± ¡°Oh, I thought you were a clean freak? Just now when I was sitting behind you, you were so anxious that you nearly cried and wanted to change seats. So you don¡¯t have that obsession anymore? Why are you standing so close to me? Aren¡¯t you scared?¡± Chen Hao smiled. He was really only smiling. ¡°I¡­¡± Lee Mingfei was so embarrassed that her face looked flushed. Apparently she wasn¡¯t the least bit attractive to Young Master Chen. Chen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not bother about them anymore. He turned around and brought Li Zhenguo and the rest of them up the hill. This was the first time Chen Hao had trampled on other people. He was so furious just now and by doing that, he really felt much better! Besides, Chen Hao only realized how cool it was to be rich when he saw the prideful Tang Ran following behind him while holding the keys to his manor. To be honest, Tang Ran was really confused right now because at this moment, it seemed like she had other feelings for Chen Hao. She felt that he was very handsome. He was handsome beyondparison! Obviously her pride was hurt today but Tang Ran didn¡¯t mind because she saw a new opportunity to fulfill her long-standing wish of bing a rich person. From her observation, Young Master Chen didn¡¯t seem to dislike her. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Besides, she would be the butler of this Cloud Manor in the future. She was destined to have a lot of interaction with Young Master Chen. My dear cousin, do I have to betray you then? It was definitely an amusing morning. Chen Hao walked around the manor for nearly two hours. It was nearly 4pm when he brought his entourage down the hill. The moment they reached the foot of the hill, several messages suddenly shed in his ss¡¯s group chat. His tutor, Meng Cairu, had texted the group a few photos and a few rows of text. ¡°Students, please forward these messages to your circle of friends!¡± ¡°Please help this student! Her younger sister is gravely ill and she does not have any means to earn a living. Please help her family with their plight by donating some money! Thank you and God bless you all!¡± As for the contents of the photos, one look and you definitely knew that it was taken under Meng Cairu¡¯s directives. It was Hao Lan. She had asked Hao Lan to hold up a que with the words ¡®Please help me¡¯ written on it. Meng Cairu even made her stand on the ssroom¡¯s stage to beg for help. Hao Lan looked pale and her eyes were tightly closed in the picture. Both her hands were gripping the paper que extremely tightly. It was obvious that her nails were digging deeply into the paper que. ¡°My dear students, these are the photos and contents that I have designed myself to help Hao Lan with her fundraising. Do you think there is anything that needs to be improved? If not, I shall submit this to the department. If you have no problems with it, please put a tick.¡± Blondie: Tick! Han Siyu: Tick! Chen Hao was stunned speechless. He was right, it was Meng Cairu¡¯s idea! How could she crush a person¡¯s self-esteem so viciously?! Chen Hao did not know when Hao Lan had returned back to the college. He also did not know when the fundraising started. However, with one look, Chen Hao knew that the method of publicizing this fundraising event was definitely Meng Cairu¡¯s doing because she had forced him to do it before. He couldn¡¯t believe she still had the guts to talk about kindness and to bring up the ss¡¯s honor! ¡°Damn it!¡± Chen Hao knew all too well how Hao Lan was feeling now as he personally experienced it before! He could barely swallow his pride at that time, let alone Hao Lan who had a stronger sense of pride than him. ¡°Yong Hao, please get a car ready, I am going back to school this instant!¡± Chen Hao said in a hurry. Chapter 102 Chen Hao’s Rage Chapter 102 Chen Hao¡¯s Rage It was not long before Chen Hao reached his college. He immediately ran toward his faculty¡¯s ssroom. However, the moment he arrived at the West entrance, many people had already gathered there. There were so many students from different faculties that they nearly blocked the entire passageway. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Chen Hao saw Yang Hui and the rest of his gang standing amongst the crowd. Hence, he made his way toward them. Only then he saw the source of all thismotion. He saw a girl holding up a sign at the West entrance, looking small and insignificant. She had her head buried low. However, Chen Hao recognized her with a nce. Who could it be other than Hao Lan? Meng Cairu, Jiang Weiwei¡ªwho was the President of the department¡¯s student council¡ªand Wang Yang were standing beside her. At this moment, they were taking photos of Hao Lan as if she was just a background! ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re here! Doesn¡¯t this make you angry?!¡± Yang Hui patted Chen Hao on his shoulder and said angrily, ¡°Hao Lan is facing some difficulties but our tutor is crossing the line. If she truly wanted to organize a fundraising, she could just do so in another way. Why did she have to ask Hao Lan to hold up a sign and stand in front of everyone?!¡± Li Rui said, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for all the hype around it, how could our faculty be famous? Take a look, our tutor, Wang Yang and Jiang Weiwei have been busy helping out Hao Lan the entire afternoon! They wanted Hao Lan to stand there so that they could show off their efforts!¡± ¡°This incident has caught the attention of the college. They said something about paying extra attention to this matter and helping their students through these difficult times!¡± Actually, those who knew the inside story were furious about this matter. To outsiders, they would have thought that this girl looked pitiful. She was willing to stand in front of the crowd in order to raise some money for her younger sister¡¯s medical expenses as her family was too poor. It was just too pitiful! Hence, a lot of people were willing to donate. However, the insiders knew that it was all Meng Cairu¡¯s idea. When Hao Lan returned to school, she had asked Meng Cairu for help in the morning. In the end, Meng Cairu came out with this idea. If Hao Lan did not do what she wanted, she would not help her. ¡°Director Zhang, you¡¯re here!¡± Meng Cairu shook hands with a bald middle-aged guy. He then put 200 into the donation box. ¡°Director Zhang, let¡¯s take a photo together!¡± ¡°Ok, ok, ok!¡± Snap! Both of them had their pictures taken together. ¡°Hey, Zhang Tao, Wang Ming, you guys came!¡± At this moment, Wang Yang¡¯s friends came over. They appeared smug. They were from the faculty next door and friends with student council members. ¡°Of course!¡± After uttering those words, several of them donated a few hundred. Afterward, they took a picture together. Below the stage, Chen Hao saw the same thing happen a few times and noticed that this process was carried out all throughout the donation. How was this considered a donation? They treated this like a show to bring honor to their ss! Chen Hao was so angry that his face turned red. Chen Hao felt a mixture of pity and guilt for Hao Lan, who looked ashen. He was the first to know about Hao Lan¡¯s situation. She believed in him, which was why she told him about her difficulties. He had even advised her and gave her some hope. However over the next few days, he did not make it in time to help her out of her situation, and that had led her to this point. It wasn¡¯t because Chen Hao was a saint or anything, but every time Chen Hao saw this kind of situation, he would think of himself. It was as if he was experiencing it personally. He had to do something. If this continued to go on, Hao Lan might not have the desire to live anymore! Thinking about this, Chen Hao broke away from the crowd and shoved Wang Yang aside, who was having his picture taken. Then he grabbed the paper que that Hao Lan was holding and threw it onto the ground. ¡°Chen Hao, you!¡± Hao Lan cried out hoarsely. Obviously, she had cried many times before this. ¡°Hao Lan, you don¡¯t have to be their background for the photos. If they wanted to help you sincerely, they wouldn¡¯t treat you that way. I will help you out with your financial issues. Let¡¯s go back to ss!¡± Chen Hao said with anger. There were still a lot of good people in this world. They would definitely lend a helping hand if they saw someone in a difficult position. However, Meng Cairu took advantage of this situation to boost her ego, which was unbelievable! ¡°Chen Hao, are you mad?¡± Jiang Weiwei red angrily at Chen Hao. When had he be so bold? ¡°Chen Hao, do you know what you just said? I am warning you. Leave immediately, if not an expulsion letter will be sent to you!¡± Meng Cairu was a prideful person. When she heard Chen Hao ridiculing them, she immediately retaliated. Wang Yang was even more furious. ¡°You poor loser! Do you think that you are so high and mighty after winning the lottery ticket? How dare you f*cking shove me?!¡± After uttering those words, Wang Yang grabbed Chen Hao by his hair and pped him on the face. He was definitely someone with a huge temper. Since his family was so rich, nobody had dared treat him like this before! On the other hand, how could Chen Haopare to him in terms of strength? His face was burning with pain! ¡°Ah! Don¡¯t fight anymore! Wang Yang, I beg you, please don¡¯t hit Chen Hao! I don¡¯t want this donation anymore, please don¡¯t hit him!¡± Hao Lan was scared out of her wits. She quickly tried to stop Wang Yang. After all, she was the reason why they started the fight. ¡°Get lost! How dare you touch me, you poor losers!¡± Wang Yang roared. He was about tounch himself at Chen Hao again. m! Suddenly, Wang Yang felt like he was cking out. A red object came flying straight at his face and it came down upon him again and again! Chen Hao had picked up a brick and was smashing his head with it! He had used a huge amount of force. The brick had shattered. ¡°Ugh!¡± Wang Yang covered his head andy on the ground moaning in pain. ¡°Ah! They¡¯re fighting!¡± The crowd started to panic. Jiang Weiwei and Meng Cairu were scared out of their wits. Chen Hao was just too vicious! ¡°Damn! Did this poor loser hit Wang Yang?¡± ¡°Does he not want to live anymore? Does he know who Wang Yang¡¯s father is? He is one of the most influential figures in this area!¡± ¡°That¡¯s it, he can never stay in this college anymore!¡± ¡°What do you mean stay?! If the school expelled him, I believe that he would not even make it out alive to Jin Ling Railway Station!¡± The crowd was shocked. After all, in their eyes, you just could not offend some people. The moment you did, you were doomed for your entire life. ¡°Wang Yang, are you ok?¡± ¡°You b*stard, how dare you hit me! Give my uncle a phone call quickly. I want his entire family dead!¡± ¡°Of course Wang Yang, we won¡¯t let this b*stard get away with it!¡± ¡°Wang Yang, you are bleeding, there¡¯s so much blood!¡± Some girls sobbed. The girls instantly surrounded him and helped him up, distressed. All of them were ring at Chen Hao. In their eyes, Wang Yang was a precious person. He was rich and handsome. The person in front of them was a total loser. He should die ten thousand times for beating up Wang Yang! ¡°Damn it! I will never let him get away with this. Bring me to the hospital first. I will give my father a call!¡± Wang Yang¡¯s injuries were quite serious. At the very least, he had suffered a concussion. He spat viciously as he was carted away into an ambnce. ¡°Chen Hao, just you wait!¡± Chen Hao, on the other hand¡­ Haha! Wait? Wait for my ass! To be honest, Chen Hao had long wanted to beat up Wang Yang! In the past, he was ordered around by the student council to run errands. If he were to do it too slowly, he would be kicked and pped by Wang Yang multiple times. For example, the first time he met Su Tongxin in the lecture hall, Wang Yang wanted to beat him up for dirtying her shoes. If she hadn¡¯t stopped him, wouldn¡¯t Wang Yang have beaten him up? Even though he didn¡¯t talk about it, it was still deeply etched in Chen Hao¡¯s memories. When he heard Wang Yang screaming that Hao Lan and him were two poor losers, Chen Hao¡¯s fury was ignited. You were running back and forth for Hao Lan¡¯s sake just now, however, I don¡¯t think you ever treated her as a human being! Hence, Chen Hao just felt around, picked up a brick and smashed it into his head. It was indeed an exhrating feeling! ¡°Hmph, Chen Hao, you are really something! Let¡¯s see how you continue your studies in the future! Weiwei,e to the dean¡¯s office with me now. Before Wang Yang¡¯s father gets here, we need to get this issue sorted. If not, knowing Wang Yang¡¯s father, he would definitely blow it up!¡± ¡°Ok, Miss Meng!¡± Jiang Weiwei shook her head wordlessly as she looked at Chen Hao. As if saying, You are doomed¡­ Chapter 103 Chen Hao Was Expelled Chapter 103 Chen Hao Was Expelled Chen Hao ignored the taunts of these people. He just took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Zhenguo. He told him about Wang Yang¡¯s family. Then he dragged Hao Lan back to the ssroom. Yang Hui knew that Chen Hao was in big trouble this time. Wang Yang family¡¯s financial background was more than good. His father worked in international trade, and he was rich! He was also a local in Jin Ling. He could be considered as the overlord of Jin Ling. However, Chen Hao¡¯s brothers still apanied him openly. ¡°Chen Hao, are you hiding in the ssroom? Haha, the dean wants to see you!¡± Jiang Weiwei flung the ssroom door open. She crossed her arms and said lightly. ¡°By the way, your name is Yang Hui, right? Help Chen Hao pack his things so that he doesn''t have to As Chen Hao had once gifted her a piece of expensive clothing, Jiang Weiwei had decided to remind him. Then she turned around and left. Chen Hao followed Jiang Weiwei immediately and reached the dean¡¯s office . Meng Cairu and other girls who were close with Wang Yang were all waiting at the door. ¡°Hmph, you deserve it. Go in! The dean will see you alone!¡± Meng Cairu smiled coldly. ¡°Expulsion is not the only thing that you¡¯re getting. The fact that you¡¯ve beaten our Wang Yang means that you will suffer your entire life!¡± some girls said angrily. Chen Hao smiled like he didn¡¯t care. He ignored them, pushed the door open and went in. The dean¡¯s surname was Li and his first name was Jianshan. He was a middle-aged man with spectacles. At this moment, he was drinking a cup of tea while reading the newspaper. As soon as Chen Hao came in, he ced his cup on the table with a thud. ¡°Chen Hao, I would never have expected that you would be caught fighting. You have always had outstanding achievements in our faculty and I think you are a virtuous and honest person. I didn''t think that you would be so impulsive. What you did was stupid!¡± Li Jianshan scolded coldly. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Dean, I¡¯m not the one who started the fight!¡± Chen Hao said lightly. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t care who started it. In short, you have beaten Wang Yang. It¡¯s your fault! I''ll tell you, you''ve gotten yourself into big trouble this time. With your family situation, how could youpare with Wang Yang? I have a dropout form here. Just sign your name and leave!¡± Li Jianshan gave Chen Hao a scornful look. The things that he said to praise Chen Hao just now were out of courtesy. But to be honest, Chen Hao didn''t expect that things would be so serious that he was to be expelled. From the looks of it, he knew that Li Jianshan was determined to dismiss him. This was because Wang Yang¡¯s family was rich and he had no money. If Wang Yang was the one who hit him, he would at best apologize to him and thenpensate for the medical expenses. I am being expelled just because I hit him. There is nothing that I can do. Since it hase to this extent, I will just sign it. Chen Hao ced his mobile phone on the desk. He took up the pen and began to fill in the form, including the reasons for dropping out. Li Jianshan smiled scornfully . Unexpectedly, Chen Hao¡¯s cell phone rang. The iing call showed that it was Director Liang. It was a call from Director Liang from the Education Bureau. Last week, due to his sister¡¯s request to act on her behalf to invest in Hope Elementary Schools, they had been in contact. However, Chen Hao did not have time to answer. He was busy writing fast. However, this call attracted Li Jianshan¡¯s attention. ¡°Is this Director Liang? It¡¯s really Director Liang¡¯s number!¡± Li Jianshan was naturally inferior to Director Liang, but he remembered his number clearly. Why was Director Liang calling Chen Hao? Who was Chen Hao to him? ¡°Y-you... don¡¯t dilly-dally, pick up the call quickly!¡± Li Jianshan¡¯s expression changed. He stood up and asked Chen Hao to answer the phone. Unbelievable! Director Liang was someone which the headmaster himself had to run to meet! ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? I haven¡¯t finished writing. Let me finish this first!¡± He received many calls from many people. Normally, Chen Hao would answer it right away. But, looking at how anxious Li Jianshan was, he deliberately didn¡¯t want to answer the phone! Of course, Chen Hao and Director Liang had meals together twice. They understood each other a lot! Therefore, they were on friendly terms. ¡°Why are you still writing? Answer it immediately! Why is Director Liang calling you? Quick, answer it quickly!¡± Du! Because no one picked up, the phone had stopped ringing! ¡°Haha, Chen Hao, you¡¯re so stubborn! You deserve it. You deserve it this time¡­¡± Ring! The phone started ringing again. ¡°Answer it quickly! Now!¡± This time, Li Jianshan just snactched the pen out of Chen Hao¡¯s hand. He picked up the phone himself and ced it beside Chen Hao¡¯s ear. As for Chen Hao, he didn''t reach for his mobile phone. He just sat down while Li Jianshan raised his body while holding the phone to Chen Hao¡¯s ear. The scene was funny but Li Jianshan just went with it for the sake of his future. No matter what Director Liang¡¯s business was with Chen Hao, he had decided to say hello to Director Jiang before they ended the call. ¡°Hello Uncle Liang!¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°Young Master Chen, you didn¡¯t pick up my call just now, are you busy?¡± Liang Baisheng said with a smile. After meeting with Chen Hao several times, Liang Baisheng had good impressions of Chen Hao. As soon as Chen Hao heard that building the Hope Elementary School was for a charitable cause, he epted all the projects without further question. Besides that, he immediately transferred the funds. What was more, this rich young man was actually very kind and kept a low profile. This made Liang Baisheng want to have a close rtionship with him. ¡°Well, I was busy filling in a dropout form just now. The Dean won''t let me continue my studies! By the way, Uncle Liang, what can I do for you?¡± Chen Hao smiled. He thought Li Zhenguo would be the first to call. He didn''t expect that it was him. ¡°Y-you¡­.¡± Li Jianshan wanted to cover Chen Hao¡¯s mouth. When Chen Hao called Liang Baisheng ¡®Uncle Liang¡¯ just now, no one could imagine how scared Li Jianshan was! My God! Their rtionship was not ordinary! Now, after listening to what Chen Hao said, of course he was nervous. ¡°Well, you know that our Hope Elementary School¡¯s construction was halted because of funding issues but I just wanted to inform you that the construction is almost done now. It will be ready for use in another two months. Young Master Chen, I''m calling to ask if you have time. If you do, pleasee here tomorrow. We have an activity here!¡± ¡°Sure! No problem!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Oh yes, Young Master Chen. What did you say just now? Dropout form?¡± Only now did Liang Baisheng reflect on what Chen Hao said. ¡°Yes! The Dean persuaded me to quit my studies! I am filling the form in front of him now!¡± Originally, Chen Hao¡¯s n was to fill up the form ande back to talk to Li Jianshan after dealing with Wang Yang. He wanted to see if he was still as just as he was. But now, he wondered if Uncle Liang could help him. ¡°Young Master Chen, pass the phone to him!¡± Chen Hao smiled and nodded, ¡°Here, it¡¯s for you!¡± ¡°Ah? Ok, ok!¡± Li Jianshan immediately straightened up and adjusted his cor. ¡°Hello Director Liang! Yes, yes, yes! Misunderstanding! Everything is just a misunderstanding! Yes, yes, yes! What? He is actually the Young Master Chen? My God! Ok, ok, I will keep it a secret! Sure, sure! Don''t you worry!¡± Li Jianshan gulped. Director Liang¡¯sst sentence made Li Jiangshan feel like he was being struck by thunder. Everybody had heard of the famous Young Master Chen in Jin Ling! And Chen Hao was Young Master Chen! ¡°Done?¡± Chen Hao asked with a smile. ¡°Y-Young Master Chen! I''m done with the call!¡± Li Jianshan¡¯s face was exuberant. It was a change from the initial disdain. Now all he could see was adtion. ¡°Oh, where were we just now? I¡¯ve filled in everything, and it¡¯s just short of a signature!¡± Chen Hao took up his pen again. ¡°No!!!¡± Li Jianshan roared loudly and grabbed Chen Hao''s hand tightly! Chapter 104 Where Do You Think You Are Going? Chapter 104 Where Do You Think You Are Going? ¡°Young Master Chen, it was a misunderstanding!¡± Li Jianshan was about to cry in anxiety. ¡°What misunderstanding? I couldn¡¯t possibly stay in Jin Ling anymore. Quick, just let me quit!¡± Chen Hao pretended that he wanted to sign the form. ¡°Young Master Chen, it was my mistake, it¡¯s my fault! To be frank, this matter can be solved by just giving you a punishment. I was swayed by others to persuade you to quit!¡± If the principal knew that I was the one who persuaded the Young Master Chen from Jin Ling to quit his studies, I would be dead. Even if he didn¡¯t know, it¡¯s still enough for me to die hundreds of times too for doing so! ¡°Alright, then tell me what¡¯s your n for this matter? Meng Cairu humiliated a student in public. It seriously hurt the student¡¯s self-esteem!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t notice that he was no longer the boy he once was. He was no longer sorry or even cowardly when he did things. Now, Chen Hao said whatever he wanted to say. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Young Master Chen. I¡¯ll make sure this matter is resolved fairly!¡± ¡°One more thing, please donate 500,000 to Hao Lan under the name of Ordinary Guy. I¡¯ll transfer the money to youter. Thank you!¡± ¡°That¡¯s very nice of you!¡± Li Jianshanughed. Only then did Chen Hao nod his head. He got up and left. Meanwhile, some people were gathering outside the door. ¡°Sigh. Chen Hao has been persuaded to quit atst. The college has supported him with subsidies for three years and it¡¯s ironic because he will never get to graduate. Haha¡­¡± Meng Cairu gave a wry smile while crossing her arms. ¡°He deserves to be expelled! How dare he beat our Wang Yang? I bet he wouldn¡¯t make it out of Jin Ling alive.¡± A few girls were still in rage. The door finally opened at this time. Everyone, including Meng Cairu, wanted to rush over and teach Chen Hao a lesson. ¡°Chen Hao, watch out. There¡¯s a small step here over here!¡± Looking at this scene, it made everyone widen their eyes. Li Jianshan was holding Chen Hao carefully. The step was only 1 or 2 centimeters high and it couldn¡¯t even be considered as a step. Was Li Jianshan afraid that Chen Hao would trip? F*ck, what¡¯s going on? Meng Cairu gaped in astonishment. ¡°Dean Li, Chen Hao¡­ He¡­¡± ¡°What? I¡¯ve solved the matter. I was about to question you, Miss Meng. If Chen Hao hadn¡¯t told me, I wouldn¡¯t have known that you asked the female student to hold a sign and stand in public. And you even took photos there?¡± ¡°Huh? I¡¯m certain that I told you about this matter¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know about it. Anyway, Miss Meng, the way you trampled on students¡¯ self-esteem is outrageous! I actually wanted to award you the title of excellent tutor in our faculty before this. But now, forget about it!¡± ¡°What? Dean Li, in order to get the title of excellent tutor, I have worked hard for nearly three years to earn honor for our department. I have worked hard for three years!¡± Meng Cairu waspletely puzzled. ¡°It is still a question whether our college can continue to employ you as a tutor based on your behaviour. Don¡¯t even think about being an excellent tutor! Bah!¡± After Li Jianshan¡¯s tirade ended, he looked at Jiang Weiwei, who looked confused. ¡°As for you, although you have held the position of president in the student council for three years, you couldn¡¯t even solve a tiny problem. Once you encounter trouble, youe to us. What else can you do? You¡¯ll continue to hold the position for now, but once there is a suitable candidate for the position, you will be reced!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Do you have any problem with that?¡± Li Jianshan growled at Jiang Weiwei. He then turned and went back into his office with his hands behind his back. Jiang Weiwei thought, Motherf*cker, I didn¡¯t even say a word! Why? What happened? Jiang Weiwei and Meng Cairu were thinking the same thing and nced at Chen Hao coldly together. Chen Hao could only force a smile and leave. He thought, Soon it will be Wang Yang¡¯s turn. You guys have bullied me for so long. It¡¯s time for you guys to pay. Chen Hao went back to the ssroom. Yang Hui and the others had gone back to the dormitory. He went back to his dorm andy down. After telling Yang Hui and the others that he was fine, he took a nce at the clock. It was about six o¡¯clock in the evening. He nned to scroll his phone for a while and then rest. At this time, Meng Cairu sent a message to his alternate Wechat ount. ¡°I¡¯m pissed off! Mr. Ordinary Guy, I don¡¯t want to live anymore! Tell me, what should I do?¡± Meng Cairu said. To be frank, his blood boiled when he saw Meng Cairu¡¯s name. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to live anymore, then kill yourself! What else can you do?¡± He replied to her immediately. ¡°Oh dear! You¡¯re such a bad boy. I was just telling you my worries.¡± Chen Hao was speechless. I replied to her in a very rude manner, didn¡¯t I? And she is actually whining to me in a cutesy manner? Chen Hao was still in a daze. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m always concerned about you but you don¡¯t seem to care about me. I¡¯m sad!¡± ¡°But I have something to tell you. Mr. Ordinary Guy, you are the only one that I can trust!¡± ¡°Something happened today. Do you know about our faculty¡¯s donation event? The donation was ruined by a poor loser in our ss. Hao Lan can''t get the money for her sister¡¯s treatment now. What''s more, I even lost the title of excellent tutor because of that poor loser!¡± ¡°I have donated 500,000 to Hao Lan. As for you losing the excellent tutor title, you deserve it!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t show any mercy. ¡°You¡¯re so mean. I find that you really like to tease me all the time, huh?¡± ¡°Oh my gosh!¡± Chen Hao was utterly lost for words. Sigh. Did people not mind being scolded as long as you had money? I think so. At the same time, Han Siyu sent a message to Chen Hao. ¡°Are you there, Mr. Ordinary Guy?¡± Chen Hao was pissed off by these two women. ¡°Go away! I¡¯m not here!¡± Chen Hao scolded. ¡°Oh dear, Mr. Ordinary Guy is a bad guy. Why are you scolding me?¡± Chen Hao was speechless yet again. It seems that it''s true. As long as you were rich, people didn¡¯t mind being scolded. He ignored their messages. Chen Hao logged in to his main ount and chatted with Su Tongxin for a while. After that, he went to bed. Chen Hao woke up very early the next day as he had to attend the ceremony mentioned by Uncle Liang. If he went to get his car early in the morning, he wouldn¡¯t be noticed. Anyhow, he should keepying low. Chen Hao reached the park. ¡°Hmph! Isn¡¯t that the poor loser? Do you know that he wasn¡¯t expelled yesterday? It pisses me off!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I can¡¯t believe he wasn¡¯t beaten to death after hitting Wang Yang. It¡¯s indeed a miracle.¡± ¡°Something is wrong. Look, it¡¯s only six o¡¯clock in the morning. What is he doing up so early? Don¡¯t tell me that he¡¯s trying to run away?¡± ¡°Yes, I think he¡¯s trying to run! Sisters, this poor loser has beaten our Wang Yang. No way we are letting him go. Let¡¯s stop him!¡± As soon as Chen Hao reached the park, four girls appeared out of nowhere and blocked his path. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. They were the sharp-tongued girls who scolded Chen Hao yesterday because of Wang Yang. It seemed like four of them were here for a morning run. He never thought that he would meet them here. ¡°Hmph, poor loser, where do you think you are going?¡± The leader of the group said coldly. Chen Hao toyed with his Lamborghini car key after taking it out of his pocket. He then signaled them to look at the Lamborghini behind them. ¡°I¡¯m not going anywhere. I just want to go for a drive!¡± Chen Hao replied with a cold remark. Then, he pressed on the car key¡¯s unlock button. Beep! Beep! The headlights flickered and the door opened automatically¡­ Chapter 105 Running Into A High School Classmate Chapter 105 Running Into A High School ssmate The car door opened. The four of them looked dumbfounded. What? This luxury car belonged to Chen Hao? Wasn¡¯t he the poor loser from their faculty? How could he own such a beautiful luxury car? All four of them looked at Chen Hao. Their expressions changed. This car alone cost many times more than Wang Yang¡¯s Audi. Bah! Who was Wang Yang to them now? This was a Lamborghini! How cool was that? The leader of the group looked pale, but she still trotted toward Chen Hao and asked anxiously, ¡°Chen Hao, Chen Hao, is this your car? Is this really your car?¡± ¡°If this is not my car, then who does it belong to? You?¡± Chen Hao seemed ustomed to the attitude of these types of girls. Hence, he retorted coldly. ¡°Ah! Your car is so cool! It must be worth at least 10 to 20 million right?¡± That girl came close to his car. She waspletely in love with it. If she had the chance to sit in this kind of luxury car just once, she would be willing to die! The rest of the three girls also made their way here. All of them were giving Chen Hao respectful nces. ¡°It costs about 18 million.¡± Chen Hao started the engine of the car. It immediately roared to life. The sound of it was so sexy. ¡°Wow! It¡¯s so cool! Chen Hao, where are you going? Can you give us a ride?¡± The girls gave him a flirty smile. ¡°Get lost!¡± However, Chen Hao only admonished them coldly. To be honest, these girls were quite gorgeous. However, although they were beautiful, they had nned to beat him to a pulp just now because of Wang Yang. Now, they wanted him to give them a ride? Hah! There was no free lunch in this world! After admonishing them, Chen Hao reversed and left immediately. ¡°Chen Hao, Chen Hao ! Y-you!¡± They stomped their feet angrily when they were ignored by Chen Hao. They did not know that he was such a rich person! They felt like they were losing out on something. How could they offend such a rich person over a second fiddle like Wang Yang? It just wasn¡¯t worth it! As for Chen Hao, after scolding them, he drove all the way to the conference site. Although he was a bit early, Liang Baisheng and some of the leaders were already there. This event was divided into two segments. First of all, there would be a meeting regarding the construction of the school which would be starting in one hour. Chen Hao and the leaders were required to hold the meeting separately in a private meeting room. Hope Elementary School would be funded by Chen Hao. They would construct approximately 20 to 30 schools, and these schools would be specifically used to provide a learning environment for the children of migrant workers. It was a huge contribution. Naturally, it received a lot of attention. As for the second segment, the meeting would be held in the big conference hall with the academic staff. In two months, students would be able to enroll in these schools. The training of the academic staff would be started in advance. Chen Hao was forced to attend the first meeting. He had to listen to Liang Baisheng talking about various things for one or two hours. As for the academic staff meeting, Chen Hao did not n on going because they did not need his input on that. Besides, the most important thing was Chen Hao felt a tremendous amount of pressure being in the same room with a group of teachers. He was not on the same level as them and their knowledge was vast. This made Chen Hao feel intimidated. Since he had some free time to himself, Chen Hao thought of going to one of the Hope Elementary Schools nearby to take a look. After all, it was one of the most meaningful things that he had done. Chen Hao did not drive there. He only walked in the direction of the elementary school. Because the reconstruction of the elementary school was nearly done, therefore within less than two months, it had already reached the renovation stage. Thendscaping was alsoplete. He had to admit that the environment of an elementary school that was built using a huge amount of money was good indeed. Just when he was preparing to send the two photos that he had taken of the school over to his sister¡­ ¡°Stop it! Did you not know that photographing is not allowed in the school¡¯s vicinity? Did you not see the warning signs?¡± Right at this moment, a fierce, cold female voice rang out. Chen Hao jumped in fright. He turned around to take a look. It was true! The sign showed that photographing was forbidden. ¡°I am so sorry, I did not notice it. I will delete it now!¡± Although this school was built by him, Chen Hao did not think he was that special. Hence, he prepared to cooperate by deleting the photos. ¡°Huh? Are you¡­ Chen Hao?¡± Unexpectedly, when Chen Hao turned around, the girl in the ck uniform with a ponytail actually called out to him. ¡°Chen Lin, you know this guy?¡± There were two girls and one guy standing beside Chen Lin. At this moment, they were asking her this question out of curiosity.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Chapter 106 Chen Hao’s Sympathy Chapter 106 Chen Hao¡¯s Sympathy ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Chen Hao lifted his head and asked. ¡°Tonight we will be having a gathering with our friends from high school. We will usually gather about once or twice per month. We did not invite you thest time, but since we met you today, I am just going to go ahead and inform you!¡± ¡°By the way, Shihan is going as well. Haha, speaking of her, I recalled something. Back when we were studying in high school, you were ranked first while she came in second. Both of you were close to each other and I think you pursued her before right?¡± Chen Lin covered her mouth andughed. Chen Hao did not say anything Shihan¡¯s full name was Li Shihan. She was Chen Hao¡¯s ssmate. They were very close with each other back in their high school days. Chen Hao did have a crush on her before, however, he did not understand the meaning of love back then. As for pursuing her, Chen Hao really did not have the guts to do that. He recalled that during his freshman year, he had kept in touch with Li Shihan. However, she did not reply to him anymore after that even if Chen Hao initiated the conversation. As time passed, both of them drifted apart from each other. In a blink of an eye, three years had passed! ¡°Haha, let¡¯s go then. It just so happened that Shihan mentioned youst month when her boyfriend was treating us to dinner. Sheeven asked us what you were up to recently. All of us were clueless. Since we bumped into you here now, you can finally attend the gathering. Are you free tonight?¡± Chen Lin looked at Chen Hao while she said those words. She wanted to see his devastated expression. However, from Chen Hao¡¯s face, there wasn¡¯t a single trace of devastation. ¡°I do have some free time tonight!¡± ¡°Great! Let¡¯s go then. You can catch up with everyone at the same time!¡± While uttering those words, Chen Lin secretly raised her mobile phone and took a few pictures of Chen Hao. Then, she sent it into their ssmate¡¯s group chat. ¡°Everyone, guess quickly, who is this loser?¡± ¡°Huh? Who¡¯s this? Why does he look so familiar? I''ve seen him before, I¡®ve definitely seen him before somewhere!¡± ¡°He definitely looks familiar. His face is just too ordinary. Can anyone recall his name?¡± Li Shihan: ¡°Is he Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Oh yeah! I knew that you would be able to recognize him with one nce. That is indeed Chen Hao. After all, both of you had such a close rtionship back in high school!¡± Chen Lin said excitedly. Why was she feeling so excited? That was because she felt a sense of aplishment for starting a topic of conversation. This was also the reason why Chen Lin suddenly wanted Chen Hao to attend their gathering. Many of their ssmates left their county and headed to Jin Ling to further their education. There were 4 or 5 students from their ss alone who went there. They might not know Chen Hao but they definitely heard of his name before. If she brought him to the gathering, there would definitely be a good show. As if confirming her thoughts, at this moment, the entire group chat exploded with a flurry of messages after they saw her message. ¡°Was our rtionship in high school good? Why did I forget about that already? Haha¡­¡± Li Shihan texted. ¡°Oh my God, how could you forget about your ex-boyfriend after finding a handsome guy in Jiang Nan College?¡± Chen Lin quickly replied. ¡°Go to hell. What ex-boyfriend? Why don¡¯t we invite him since we will be meeting everyone as well? After all, he is our ssmate.¡± Li Shihan messaged. ¡°Ok!¡± Chen Lin looked at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Chen Hao, everyone wants to meet you, especially Shihan. Since you are free tonight, why don¡¯t youe along? At most, I will cover your expenses since we are going dutch!¡± Chen Hao initially wanted to refuse. To be honest, his friends were few and far between in high school. Even if he went, he did not know what to say to them. However, since Chen Lin put it that way, Chen Hao did not think it was right to refuse her. ¡°Ok, then I¡®ll go tonight!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. Chen Lin left after telling him the location of the gathering. ¡°Such a coincidence that Chen Lin actually became a teacher at my newly-built school!¡± After scratching his head for awhile, Chen Hao said resignedly. He wanted to take a look around for a little longer but he had lost all interest after hearing Chen Lin¡¯s words. It was noon now and he felt hungry, hence Chen Hao decided to leave. At the same moment, there were three bedraggled children standing at the entrance of the school. Their clothes were in tatters, and they looked to be about 4 or 5 years old. They were staring fixedly at the school. ¡°Brother, is this a school? Why is it different from what Zi Yue said?¡± A little girl whose face was covered in dirt asked another boy curiously. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s not opened yet¡­ After the school opens, then it will be the same!¡± The boy wiped away the snot on his nose. ¡°I want to go to school!¡± Another fat young boy said. ¡°You need a lot of money to go to school. Since there are so many of us, Miss Zi Yue is working very hard to support us. She must be very tired already!¡± ¡°Brother, I am hungry!¡± the little girl said. ¡°Let¡¯s go buy some steamed bunster then!¡± ¡°Why are you three children blocking the entrance? Get lost!¡± At this moment, a security guard walked over and scolded them fiercely. All three children jumped in fright. The security guard looked like he was in his fifties and he also looked like the supervisor of the construction site. His voice was so loud that he shocked the three children. They wanted to run away but they still looked back longingly at the school. ¡°Why don¡¯t you allow them to take a look? Does this school belong to you?¡± said Chen Hao, who had been standing at the side all this while. ¡°Boy, I did not say anything when I let you in just now. And now you think you are already above me? Based on what you said just now, since this school isn¡¯t mine, then does this school belong to you?! Get lost!¡± This security guard was an impulsive guy. Chen Hao did not know what he had in the afternoon just now but he definitely had too much to drink. He reeked of alcohol. ¡°Buy yourself some real alcohol then!¡± Chen Hao smiled casually, took out 1,000 from his pocket and threw it in front of the security guard. This 1,000 wasn¡¯t a reward. He would tell Uncle Liangter to fire this man! How could a drunkard work as a security guard? Maybe he was somebody¡¯s rtive? ¡°Oh, ok, ok! Thank you boy!¡± After he left, Chen Hao crouched down and gave the three children a smile. ¡°Do you guys really want to go to school?¡± The girl in the middle nodded her head hard. ¡°I want to!¡± The other two boys looked cautious. They were staring at Chen Hao and did not utter a single word. To be honest, when he saw the three children, especially their eyes that were shining with hope at the thought of attending school, Chen Hao felt a throbbing pain in his heart. Nobody knew better than Chen Hao how that felt! Chen Hao wanted to help them from the bottom of his heart. ¡°Are you guys hungry? Do you want me to bring you guys out for a meal?¡± ¡°Zi Yue said that we should not speak to strangers, let alone follow them!¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Both of the boys stood in front of the little girl automatically. Chen Hao smiled and nodded his head. ¡°Ok then, I will bring you some!¡± After uttering those words, Chen Hao ran to the KFC opposite the road and bought a pile of burgers, chicken thighs and Coke. ¡°I won¡¯t ask you toe along with me. Just eat up. In addition to that, I will fulfill your wish of going to school!¡± Chen Hao patted the little girl¡¯s head. He gave them some burgers and Coke. ¡°Thank you, big brother!¡± The eyes of the three children gleamed. After they received it, they started eating ravenously. ¡°How can the three of you simply eat the food given to you by a stranger?!¡± At this moment, a melodious female voice drifted over. Her voice was quite soothing to the ears. However, you could detect a slight trace of anxiousness in her voice. ¡°Sir, I am really sorry. How much is the food? I will pay for it!¡± The girl looked at him with a bit of restraint and fear as she said that. Chen Hao¡¯s eyes gleamed when he saw the girl. ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Chapter 107 The Gathering Chapter 107 The Gathering Chen Hao recognized the girl at a nce. She was the waitress who was being reprimanded by the manager, Zheng Yue, at Homecook Kitchen Restaurant a few days ago. She had left a deep impression on Chen Hao. He had only caught sight of her side profile but he knew that she was very beautiful. Looking at her face now, he felt like she was very familiar. He slowly recalled. ¡°Do I know you?¡± the girl whispered as she pulled the three children behind her back. She was obviously afraid of Chen Hao. What was more, she was worried that Chen Hao was a human trafficker. ¡°Of course, we met at the Homecook Kitchen Restaurantst time. Don¡¯t you remember?¡± Chen Hao smiled and said. The girl thought for a while, and then she said, ¡°It''s you, sir. Thank you for saving mest time!¡± When she was scolded previously, she dared not look up. She just secretly nced at Chen Hao''s back when she was leaving the restaurant. She recognized him now after hearing his voice. He helped herst time. Furthermore, this person was very rich! ¡°You''re wee. You may put down your guard. Are you taking care of these three children?¡± Chen Hao asked curiously. ¡°Yes!¡± Su Ziyue nodded and led the three children to the roadside. While walking, she started talking to Chen Hao. It turned out that these three children were homeless. They sneaked out after being abducted by traffickers. The orphanage was not willing to ept children with unknown backgrounds. Slowly, they began to wander the streets and lived as beggars. Later on, Su Ziyue met them and took them in. Her primary job was a teacher in a kindergarten, and she made use of her spare time to take on a part- time job. By doing so, she could ensure that at least there would be food on the table. She could also save some enough money for the three children''s education. It was fortunate that Su Ziyue was a kindergarten teacher. Otherwise, these three children wouldn¡¯t have behaved so sensibly. To be honest, they were quite pitiful. It seemed that these three were siblings. Chen Hao felt his heart ache. ¡°How about your family?¡± Chen Hao asked again. ¡°I grew up in an orphanage. I don¡¯t have any family.¡± Su Ziyue said as she lowered her head and tugged on her clothes. She was really beautiful but being in poverty for a long time had covered up her glory. Most importantly, she was very restrained in front of Chen Hao. Chen Hao knew that she was afraid that he would dislike her. Haha, I bet Su Ziyue doesn¡¯t know that I was once a man who didn''t dare to raise my head in front of others. Su Ziyue was about the same age as Chen Hao. To be honest, Chen Hao thought he had a tragic life before this but unexpectedly, Su Ziyue¡¯s situation was much worse than his. She didn''t even have parents. She was a girl and was kind enough to adopt three homeless children. This kind of girl was very rare in this world. The fact that she had adopted these children moved Chen Hao¡¯s heart. He admired her. ¡°Where do you guys live?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°We are staying there!¡± The three children pointed to amon residency area not far from the elementary school. ¡°I would like to have a look, can you bring me there?¡± Chen Hao smiled and asked. Su Ziyue nodded after she struggled internally for a while. The residency area was a bit like an old, shanty town. After entering, Su Ziyue wiped a stool clean and asked Chen Hao to sit. Then, she hurriedly bathed the three siblings and washed their faces. These children were very sensible. They would go out to pick up some garbage and sell them every day, which exined their dusty faces. ¡°Su Ziyue, my name is Chen Hao! Shall we be friends?¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Friends?¡± Su Ziyue was surprised. In her eyes, Chen Hao must be very powerful because even the manager listened to him. How could someone so powerful be willing to make friends with her? Chen Hao couldn¡¯t answer it even if you asked him. They just met by chance today. Chen Hao waspassionate and had a special ce for the poor in his heart. He could have just helped them then and there. He could arrange amodation and school for them. Really, all of these could be done with just a word. However, when Chen Hao saw Su Ziyue, his heart pounded. There was just something about her that made Chen Hao want to get to know her and be her friend. This feeling was very strange. Actually it was obvious judging from their first meeting. Her side profile alone was able to leave a deep impression on Chen Hao. Why do I feel this way about a girl that I met by chance? Chen Hao also smiled bitterly. He couldn¡¯t answer it. In a word, he felt attached to her as soon as he saw her. Chen Hao continued talking to Su Ziyue. The more they talked, the more familiar they became. They didn¡¯t realize that the afternoon was almost over. ¡°Ziyue, Ying, I''m leaving. I''lle to see you in a few days!¡± Chen Hao waved at them and left. After spending half a day with them, Chen Hao had felt peace for the first time in a long time. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Right now, his mobile phone rang. It was Chen Lin. Before Chen Hao left just now, he had asked for Chen Lin''s phone number. Although she was reluctant, they exchanged their phone numbers in the end. ¡°Chen Hao, this is the first time you are attending our gathering. How could you bete? Didn¡¯t we say to meet at five o''clock? Where are you?¡± Chen Lin scolded as soon as he picked up. ¡°Oh, oh, I had something to do so I couldn¡¯te on time. I am on my way, I¡¯ll reach in about ten minutes!¡± Dudu... She had hung up without saying anything. Chen Haoughed bitterly. I shouldn¡¯t have promised my old ssmate no matter what. This is so troublesome! However, he had agreed to go after all and he wanted to keep his promise. Chen Hao returned to the parking lot, started the engine and went straight to the hotel that Chen Lin booked. After parking his car, he went into the private room. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re finally here. Everyone is waiting for you. Aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡± As soon as Chen Hao came in, Chen Lin looked at him in disdain. ¡°My God, it''s really Chen Hao. I haven''t seen you for several years. Where are your patched clothes? Have you started to wear normal clothes?¡± ¡°Hahaha. Hey, Chen Hao, I heard that you''re studying in Jin Ling College. It is a famous college. You¡¯re about to start your internship right? Have you found apany?¡± ¡°Have a seat first and tell us more. How have you been these years?¡± The dining table in the room was very big. It was enough to hold more than 20 people. There were more than 20 alumni from his old school. It included four or five ssmates from Chen Hao''s high school ss. The room was full of people. As Chen Hao smiled at them, he saw a girl sitting at the seat for guests of honor. It was Li Shihan! Li Shihan was the closest with Chen Hao in high school. She was also the most beautiful girl in ss, and she was the friend who always studied with Chen Hao. To be honest, both of them had some feelings for each otherst time but Li Shihan hadn¡¯t nned to date Chen Hao, who came from a poor family. Chen Hao hadn¡¯t nned to date Li Shihan too, who came from a decent family. Their family background differences were just too big. Therefore, they were just better than good friends! ¡°Shihan, I haven¡¯t seen you for two or three years. How are you?¡± Chen Hao smiled. Li Shihan had changed a lot. She had also learned how to put on makeup. She looked even more pretty and elegant than before. She was absolutely a goddess. ¡°I''m fine. You should find a ce to sit down,¡± Li Shihan smiled a little and said camly. They had not been in contact for three years. The feelings that she had for him were long gone, regardless if it was tonic or romantic. Chen Hao felt like he was meeting aplete stranger. ¡°Alright.¡± Chen Hao saw that there was a vacant seat beside her and was about to sit down. ¡°Who told you to sit there?¡± His butt had not even touched the chair when he heard a cold female voice. It was quite loud and annoying, which made Chen Hao jump with fright... Chapter 108 Chen Hao’s Future Plan Chapter 108 Chen Hao¡¯s Future n ¡°Do you think you¡¯re allowed to sit here? This seat is reserved for my boyfriend! Sigh, let¡¯s not talk about how cheap you werest time. Why are you still a loser after studying in college for three years? Shoo, get out of my way!¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t even remember the name of this girl who was once his ssmate. He was toozy to argue with her but that would mean that the only ce he could sit at was next to the door where the dishes were usually served. Chen Hao realized that everyone seemed to want him to sit there, so he sat down with a wry smile. Actually, there was also a seat beside Li Shihan. However, she had put her bag on it to indicate that the ce was taken. She didn¡¯t want Chen Hao to take the seat at all. ¡°Shihan, when is Ma Feiing?¡± After Chen Lin shook her head with a smirk while looking at Chen Hao, she turned to ask Li Shihan. ¡°Him? Hmph. He always dawdles no matter what he does. He says he¡¯ll be reaching soon but in fact it will take him a while.¡± Li Shihan actually felt proud although she wasining about him. ¡°Oh, what did Shihan just say? The fact that our Ma Fei has be the sales manager in one of the luxury stores on Jin Ling Commercial Street after he graduated has displeased you, hasn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You were very close to Ma Fei those days in school. Now that Ma Fei has be the sales manager in Jin Ling Commercial Street, you keepining about him. Just tell us the truth, are you doing it purposely to trigger our envy?¡± ¡°But seriously, can you tell us how Ma Fei was hired? Damn, bing the sales manager of a store on Jin Ling Commercial Street is ten times better than securing a public service position!¡± Everyone joined in the conversation as soon as Li Shihan bragged about Ma Fei. Envy and jealousy could be sensed in their words. ¡°Hmph! I have no idea. You can ask him yourself when he¡¯s here,¡± Li Shihan replied with a smile. At this time, the door of the room opened. Two guys entered the room. ¡°Ma Fei, you¡¯re here!¡± Everyone smiled at the man who was tall and slender. This guy was Ma Fei. He was Li Shihan¡¯s current boyfriend. The other guy was the boyfriend of Chen Hao¡¯s female high school ssmate who scolded Chen Hao a while ago. He naturally sat at the ce where Chen Hao was about to sit just now. ¡°Ma Fei, we were just talking about you. Speak of the devil! Oh yes, we have a new friend today. Let me introduce him to you. His name is Chen Hao!¡± Chen Lin smirked while pointing at Chen Hao, who was sipping his tea. ¡°Oh? So it¡¯s him! Is he the poor loser, Chen Hao? It¡¯s my pleasure to meet you!¡± Ma Fei pretended to be surprised and walked toward Chen Hao, looking like he wanted to shake hands. Chen Hao only frowned. He sat still and ignored him. In fact, Chen Hao felt a jolt of anger at this moment. He was too naive. He thought since they were all old ssmates and he hadn¡¯t seen them for several years, he woulde to the gathering. It would be fun. However, when he arrived, he only realized that Chen Lin wasn¡¯t sincere in inviting him to attend the gathering. She just invited him so that he could be the barrel ofughs. Everyone looked down at him, including Li Shihan, who had already be a stranger to Chen Hao. In short, Chen Hao was totally disappointed. Chen Hao didn¡¯t bother about Ma Fei, but Ma Fei looked at him with a grin and said, ¡°Haha, Chen Hao, you are quite a character. Please excuse me, I was just kidding. Shihan mentioned that both of you were close back then.¡± ¡°Hmph! Chen Hao, Ma Fei wanted to shake your hand. Look at your attitude! You have no manners at all!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Ma Fei, there is no need for you to apologize to him. Shihan also knows that he is just a poor idiot!¡± ¡°Hahaha, watch your words. He is from Jin Ling College after all. Who knows that he might find a job on Jin Ling Commercial Street after he graduates?¡± The others continued mocking him. ¡°Oh, then wouldn¡¯t we be colleagues? Chen Hao, I would appreciate your guidance!¡± Ma Fei said with a simper. He loved to joke around. Furthermore, he often heard Shihan¡¯s high school friends discussing Li Shihan and Chen Hao. He thought, How was it possible that Li Shihan fell for that poor dude back then? Sometimes, it made him feel humiliated. Therefore, once he saw Chen Hao, Ma Fei took the opportunity to make fun of him and anticipated his reaction. And now¡­ Well, this fellow has no experience at all. He¡¯ll know the misery once he heads into the real world! ¡°Haha, Ma Fei, stop making jokes. All I can say is if Chen Hao was hired to work on Jin Ling Commercial Street, the employer would have to be blind!¡± ¡°Oh right, Ma Fei, you haven¡¯t told us how you became the sales manager at the store you¡¯re working at!¡± The topic of the conversation was back to Ma Fei. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s a long story. I think it¡¯s probably because I¡¯m good at sales but my boss thinks I¡¯m inexperienced, so he only gave me an annual sry of 300,000. Sigh, I still need to improve on a lot of things!¡± ¡°Wow! That¡¯s awesome!¡± It was rare for a fresh graduate to get an annual sry of 300,000. Moreover, he was working for a well-knownpany, the Jin Ling Commercial Group. This made Chen Lin feel jealous of Li Shihan. The two of them were equally beautiful. Chen Lin was more open-minded while Li Shihan was more reserved. With her personality, Li Shihan became a divine beauty whom people liked more. Pride crossed Li Shihan¡¯s face. She then shifted her gaze to Chen Hao who was sitting at the corner. She sighed with relief internally. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. At the same time, she was scared. She thought, What would have happened if I had dated Chen Hao on a whim back then? ¡°Haha, that¡¯s my luck. You guys are doing well too! Chen Lin, I heard you have be a teacher in an elementary school. Is it a permanent position?¡± Chen Lin nodded her head and said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! Then most of us will probably be settling down in Jin Ling. My n is to buy a house in Jin Ling in two years and marry Shihan then!¡± Ma Fei said with a smile. ¡°Haha. How about you, Chen Hao? What¡¯s your n after your graduation? Will you be applying for the public service position? Have you decided which line of work you are going to do? Do you want to work in sales or perhaps the design industry? Maybe administrative work?¡± ¡°But I would rmend you to choose administrative work. It could be difficult for you to pass the public service examination. As for sales, to be frank, I don¡¯t think you have any talent in this area at all. Designing sounds simple yet it¡¯s actually the most difficult job. You would need good logical thinking. I don¡¯t think you¡¯re suitable for design either. Jobs that don''t require much thinking probably suits you more. As long as you know how to use a calctor, you should be able to do the job!¡± As soon as Ma Fei finished speaking, everyone looked at Chen Hao with derision. The food had been served, so Chen Hao only focused on eating. He just nodded his head slightly and said, ¡°I still haven¡¯t decided but I will do whatever that suits me. You don¡¯t have to worry about my future!¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re just being stubborn. You should face reality!¡± ¡°Yes, let¡¯s not talk about the fact that you are just trash. You can¡¯t even bear listening to the truth! You¡¯re a good-for-nothing!¡± Chen Lin said helplessly. Meanwhile, the others didn¡¯t realize that some people were quarreling outside their room while they were mocking Chen Hao. It was a young man and a youngdy. They were arguing with the waiter. ¡°I¡¯ve said that I will pay extra for it, don¡¯t you understand me? There are quite a number of us and we have to book this room. Give me the amount that you need and f*cking empty the room for me right now!¡± a man who looked like a ruffian yelled furiously. Chapter 109 Su Tongxin’s Intuition Chapter 109 Su Tongxin¡¯s Intuition ¡°Sir, we really can¡¯t amodate you. The dishes have been served to the customers inside.¡± ¡°Damn, you¡¯re still rejecting us? Do you know who is treating us today? I¡¯ll give you three minutes! If you can¡¯t settle this within three minutes, believe it or not, I will call your manager!¡± the guy said haughtily. ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll try!¡± The female waitress quickly entered the room and told them the entire situation. Chen Lin and the rest of them were reluctant to do so. Who did these people think they are? We¡¯re here first! Furthermore, we¡¯ve already taken our seats and we¡¯re in the middle of eating. How could they ask us to move just because they wanted this room? Just who did they think they were? ¡°No way! Tell them that we won¡¯t be moving!¡± Chen Lin¡¯s expression was cold and her temper started to re. ¡°Hmph! I want to see who has the guts to defy Young Master Zhou!¡± The door to the private room flew open and a group of people barged in. Based on their imposing manner, it seemed that they wanted to start a fight. Now everybody¡¯s attention was focused on Ma Fei. To be honest, an ordinary rich second generation heir would not be afraid of Ma Fei at all. At this moment, everybody was looking at Ma Fei with hopes in their eyes. After all, Ma Fei was part of the Jin Ling Commercial Streetmunity. Ma Fei cleared his throat and stood up. ¡°My dear friends, I reserved this ce first. Of course, we definitely won¡¯t move as there is no reason for us to do so. Why don¡¯t I treat all of you to a meal in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant the next time you Ma Fei was calm and steady. He only smiled indifferently. His speech was quite eloquent. Not only did he convey his standpoint, he even indirectly expressed that he had connections in Jin Ling Commercial Street. ¡°Damn! How dare everyone use Jin Ling Commercial Street as their guise? Do you think I do not have powerful, good friends in the Commercial Street just because I am not from Jin Ling?¡± At this moment, somebody walked in with his hands in his pockets and scoffed. ¡°Young Master Zhou? It¡¯s you!¡± When Ma Fei saw this guy, his rigidity immediately turned into adtion. Even Li Shihan gave him a slight nce. The person standing in front of him was Young Master Zhou, also known as Zhou Ze. He studied in Jiang Nan College and was a very rich person. Lately, he had been hanging out with Young Master Bai a lot. Some time ago, Young Master Zhou had attended a cruise ship gathering. Rumor had it that he had gotten acquainted with one of the big shots there. How could it not surprise them? Young Master Zhou was definitely not an ordinary rich second generation heir. ¡°Huh? You actually recognized me?¡± Zhou Ze smiled casually. ¡°How could I not? I hung out with Kun before this and he knows you.¡± Ma Fei looked cautious. Where did all his loftiness go? ¡°Damn, you are one of Kun¡¯s friends. I came here for a meal. Do you have a problem with giving up this room for me?¡± Zhou Ze sneered. ¡°No way, I would never dare do that. However, Young Master Zhou, as you can see, we have already started our meals. Could you spare me some dignity here?¡± ¡°F*ck, how dare you talk about dignity in front of me. Are you going to move or not?¡± Zhou Ze was getting impatient. Ma Fei gulped. The rest of the people gulped as well. They could never cross Young Master Zhou. Ma Fei¡¯s connections in Jin Ling Commercial Street was useless. He could not use it to bargain with Young Master Zhou. Young Master Zhou only needed to breathe a word to Young Master Bai and Ma Fei would immediately be kicked out of Commercial Street. Although Ma Fei felt as if his dignity was shredded into pieces, he still gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Ok, we will move, we will definitely move!¡± ¡°Oh my God, there is so much food here. How do we move?¡± At this moment, Chen Lin pouted. She acted like a tigress just now. She spoke the same words as before, but this time she sounded like a littlemb. ¡°We should let Chen Hao bring the dishes to the other room to make some space for Young Master Zhou!¡± said one of the girls. ¡°Ok, so be it!¡± Ma Fei and the rest of them nodded their heads. On the other hand, Zhou Ze was a little dumbstruck. Chen Hao? At this moment, he looked toward the young man who was sitting with his back toward him. He was quietly eating the dishes. To be honest, when Zhou Ze entered just now, he did nce at Chen Hao for a moment, and he felt that Chen Hao looked familiar. However, he snapped out of his stupor after somebody called out Chen Hao¡¯s name. He walked toward Chen Hao to take a closer look at him. He nearly gave out a high-pitched scream. Wasn¡¯t this Chen Hao, also known as Young Master Chen?! ¡°Ch-Chen Hao, you are here!¡± When he recalled Bai Xiaofei¡¯s reminder a few days ago, Zhou Ze started to tremble as he said those words. Several of his good-for-nothing friends who were standing behind him had seen Chen Hao before. They were so surprised that they were rendered speechless. Who knew that Young Master Chen would be here? He was even hanging out with this bunch of people! ¡°Huh? Young Master Zhou, do you know this poor loser?¡± At this moment, Ma Fei said in surprise. Unbeknownst to him, when Zhou Ze said Chen Hao¡¯s name, Ma Fei and a lot of the guys present there were green with envy. Why had Young Master Zhou recognized Chen Hao but not them? Why?! ¡°It¡¯s none of your business. Damn it, get lost!¡± When Zhou Ze heard Ma Fei addressing Chen Hao as a poor loser, he was instantly furious. He scolded Ma Fei until his face was flushed. ¡°Oh, Zhou Ze, it¡¯s you. We met each other once when I went to your college. By the way, have you found your ticket yet?¡± Chen Hao set his chopsticks down and asked casually. He intentionally changed the story a little. ¡°Oh yes, I found it! Thank you Chen Hao, I am really grateful for your help!¡± Zhou Ze bent 90 degrees forward. This was a joke! After all, he was so respectful in front of Young Master Bai, how could he show any less respect for Young Master Chen? ¡°Thanks, Chen Hao!¡± The rest of his good-for-nothing friends also bowed down and showed him their gratitude. It was a greeting to Chen Hao. ¡°You¡¯re wee. Then, Young Master Zhou, could you give me some face and use other rooms?¡± ¡°Of course, of course!¡± Zhou Ze did not know what Chen Hao was doing here. However, he would obey whatever orders that Chen Hao gave him. After a few more exchanges, he immediately left with everyone else. The room returned to its previous quietness because at this moment, everybody was staring dumbfoundedly at Chen Hao. How could a poor loser like him have this kind of connection? How was it even possible? ¡°Chen Hao, how do you know¡­ this Young Master Zhou? And why did he thank you?¡± Chen Lin was the most frustrated of them all. Hence, she quickly asked the question. ¡°Oh, that was because I found the bus tickets that he lost thest time !¡± What? The crowd¡¯s eyes grew wide. Did Chen Hao think that they were stupid? Why would Young Master Zhou thank someone like that just for picking up his bus tickets? Chen Hao was stunned. Although he had plucked the lie out of thin air, who knew it would be that illogical? ¡°Oh, I must have forgotten. It might have been a ne ticket.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Lin and Li Shihan were surprised. Even if it was a ne ticket, there was no way Young Master Zhou would act like that. Chen Hao scratched his head. He did not know how to continue his lie anymore. ¡°I really have forgotten what kind of ticket it was already. Anyway, he was really grateful to me. Haha!¡± Chen Hao managed to muddle his way through the questions with one sentence. At this point, he had eaten his fill already. He felt that there was no reason for him to be there anymore. He excused himself for personal reasons. Then, he left the room and snuck away. After Chen Hao¡¯s departure, everybody in the room started looking at one another. Chen Hao was definitely lying to them. However, how did Young Master Zhou know him? Why did he not recognize them? If he did, then they would have¡­ Some of them were envious, while Li Shihan and Chen Lin felt somewhat agitated. They were even afraid that Chen Hao¡¯s luck would turn around after he got to know Young Master Zhou. He could find a good job. It could be possible. If that was the case, Li Shihan and Chen Lin would definitely regret it. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. They were especially afraid that such thing would happen. Sigh! It¡¯s making me so anxious! ¡°Haha, I think Young Master Zhou won¡¯t think too much of him. After all, he would only express his gratitude once or twice. Did this poor loser really think that Young Master Zhou would repay him? No way!¡± As if seeing through their worries, Ma Fei said with a grin. Only then did everyone feel much better. Chen Hao could actually get back at them for their ridicules just now. However, he chose to leave. That was because he recalled his past rtionship with Li Shihan. Hence, he decided to preserve some of her dignity. No matter what Li Shihan was like now, she did help him out back then. They were even now. He patted his belly. Chen Hao had his fill already, and now, he wondered if Su Ziyue and the kids had their meals already. Hence, he brought along some food with him. Chen Hao went to visit Su Ziyue. For the next seven days, Chen Hao would go over to Su Ziyue¡¯s ce to chat with her and see the children. Chen Hao felt rxed andfortable because their life was simple. It was way better than staying in college. Chen Hao and Su Ziyue were getting closer by the day. He added Su Ziyue on WeChat and they were constantly messaging each other. Was Chen Hao falling in love with her? Chen Hao could not answer that question yet but he really did like her. Since he was chatting with Su Ziyue all the time, he was asionallyte in replying Su Tongxin¡¯s messages. Until one night, Su Tongxin suddenly asked, ¡°Chen Hao, are you chatting with some other girls besides me?¡± Chapter 110 The Fickle Heart of a Woman Chapter 110 The Fickle Heart of a Woman Su Tongxin and Chen Hao were more than good friends. Until now, Chen Hao had never expressed any intention to pursue her. Both of them just talked to each other. On the other hand, Su Tongxin kept joking around with Chen Hao and said that he was her fake boyfriend. This made him feel like she did not want to take their rtionship a step further, but she often threw tantrums in front of him. In short, their rtionship was just too vague. ¡°I am asking you a question. Why aren¡¯t you replying? Were you chatting with other girls these past few days?¡± Su Tongxin typed. Girls were sensitive creatures. They could smell trouble brewing from a mile away. These days, Chen Hao was acting out of the ordinary. Chen Hao usually replied to her text messages within a few seconds. Now he took more than a minute to reply back. This made her feel anxious. Chen Hao did not want to hide this from Su Tongxin, for there was nothing to hide anyway. ¡°Yes, we were just chatting with each other!¡± Chen Hao typed. ¡°Haha, you don¡¯t have to exin yourself. Even if you did something else with her, I wouldn¡¯t know. Since you are that awesome, I bet many pretty girls are pursuing you. I just know it! The person you are chatting with, she must be quite pretty right? What¡¯s her name? Do I know her?¡± Su Tongxin sent a continuous stream of messages. ¡°You don¡¯t know her. I have only known her for a week. In terms of beauty, I would say her soul is way N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. more beautiful than her appearance¡­¡± To be honest, Su Tongxin had been joking around with Chen Hao a lot for quite some time now. This made him feel that she did not have any intentions to take their rtionship to the next level. Even if she knew that he was rich, she only treated him as a friend. On the other hand, Chen Hao did not have any intentions toward Su Ziyue. He only thought of her as an old friend. Hence, he didn¡¯t think much about it. ¡°A girl with a beautiful soul? Wow that¡¯s amazing. So that¡¯s why Young Master Chen abandoned his current girlfriend. It turns out that he has a new girlfriend already!¡± ¡°Since when did I abandon you? Besides, you keep saying that I am your fake boyfriend. And she is not my girlfriend!¡± Chen Hao exined. Su Tongxin sent him a facepalm emoji. ¡°Then tell me, which step in the rtionship are you both at right now? As your best friend and your closest sister, I would like to know!¡± When Chen Hao saw Su Tongxin typed those words, especially the word ¡®closest sister¡¯, his heart sank. Haha! He thought that their rtionship had progressed to the point where he could call it love. However, she only treated him like a brother in her heart. He could see why. He was rich, yes, but hecked ss. Hence, in terms of boyfriend material, he could never meet Su Tongxin¡¯s standards. ¡°We haven¡¯t reached that level yet. We are just friends. I like her kindness and admire her courage! In addition to that, I really have great respect for the things that she does!¡± typed Chen Hao. ¡°Wow! She is really cool. I need to meet her one day. Could you introduce her to me?¡± ¡°Ok! You will definitely like her once you see her because she is a really good person!¡± ¡°By the way Tongxin¡­¡± ¡°Huh?¡± He wanted to ask her if she was free the next day, but he had only managed to type 4 words before he saw a bright red exmation mark appearing at the left side of his messages. It was a prompt that indicated she had blocked his number. Chen Hao was dumbfounded. What happened? The conversation was going smoothly just now, so why did she block him? Chen Hao called Su Tongxin in a hurry. However, her mobile phone was switched off. What happened? Chen Hao scratched his head. Unbeknownst to him, just now, Su Tongxin was lying on her bed while chatting with him. To be honest, when Chen Hao was slow to reply to her messages, Su Tongxin had been making a lot of wild assumptions these past few days. She jokingly asked him whether he was chatting with other girls because if she had asked him in a strict manner, wouldn¡¯t that show that she was a shameless person? However, as expected, there really was a girl chatting with Chen Hao! Su Tongxin felt a stab of pain in her heart. She felt as if somebody had stolen something from her. All these while, she had grown ustomed to Chen Hao¡¯s care andpanionship. Now another girl had taken a portion of his attention away. Su Tongxin was a little mad, but she kept quiet about it. She then proceeded to ask Chen Hao a series of questions, such as who that girl was, and whether she was beautiful. This was to let him know that she was already pissed. However¡­ Chen Hao actually told her that the girl was pretty and that he liked her kindness. Ok, I will tolerate you for now! However, the next few words from Su Tongxin were cold. She told him that she only considered him as her brother as she wanted to hurt him. She even asked about that girl¡¯s situation and told him that she wanted to meet her. In the end, Su Tongxin blocked him from her friends list. After she blocked him, she actually flung her mobile phone viciously against the wall. The impact was so great that the phone was switched off! ¡°Tongxin, what¡¯s wrong? Are you alright?¡± One of her roommates asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine, let¡¯s go to sleep!¡± Su Tongxin covered her head with her nket. The number you have dialed could not be reached at the moment¡­ Chen Hao called her continuously but none of his calls went through. He still did not understand what was wrong with Su Tongxin. He felt a bit depressed. After putting in so much effort, he thought he had a chance with Su Tongxin. In the end¡­ Sigh! I am going to sleep then. I will not let these troublesome matters bother me anymore. The next morning, Chen Hao, Yang Hui and Li Rui went to the cafeteria to eat their breakfast. ¡°Chen Hao,e take a look quickly. Look who¡¯s that!¡± The moment Chen Hao entered, Yang Hui nudged him gently and pointed toward a corner. Chen Hao looked at where he was pointing and saw that Su Tongxin was eating breakfast with two of her roommates. Chen Hao still felt depressed about yesterday¡¯s incident. Why did Su Tongxin block him? He made his way there and sat opposite Su Tongxin. ¡°Tongxin, why did you block mest night?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Huh? Did I? Why don¡¯t I know about this? Did I identally do so? No way, why would I block you?¡± Su Tongxin was asking him these questions in a strange manner. There was a hint of anger in her eyes. Chen Hao brought out his phone and said, ¡°It¡¯s true, take a look. You really did block me!¡± m! Su Tongxin immediately mmed her chopsticks down on the table. Then, she replied coldly, ¡°Are you guys done yet? Let¡¯s leave now!¡± After giving Chen Hao a nce, Su Tongxin left with a cold look on her face. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. What happenedst night, Chen Hao? Su Tongxin has always treated you very well. Why are you guys fighting?¡± Yang Hui asked excitedly. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I was chatting with her when this happened. Maybe she is starting to hate me?¡± Chen Haoughed at himself. ¡°That¡¯s not possible. There is no reason for her to hate you unless you did something wrong. All girls need to be coaxed. Why don¡¯t you give it a try? Do you still want to pursue her?¡± asked Yang Hui. This was considered a w in Chen Hao¡¯s personality. He did like Su Tongxin. Hence, he paid extra attention to her thoughts and values. The moment they had disagreements, Chen Hao would take her seriously. This had something to do with Chen Hao¡¯s past experience as well. After all, Chen Hao had only begun to learn how not to blush in front of girls. As to understanding a woman¡¯s heart, this was an important skill that Chen Hao needed to learn and practice. But she said that she wanted to be my sister. If I were to pursue her, wouldn¡¯t that mean that I would lose her as a friend? Chen Hao sighed in his heart. However, Yang Hui was right, girls definitely needed some coaxing. Why not give it a try? Chapter 111 To the Emergency Department Chapter 111 To the Emergency Department After Chen Hao returned to the ssroom, he added Su Tongxin¡¯s WeChat ID again. He included a message that read, ¡°I have something important to tell you!¡± Of course, Yang Hui taught him how to write that message. Su Tongxin was angry and Chen Hao knew that he was probably the cause. Hence, he wanted to clear the air with Su Tongxin. This message was really useful. Not long after that, he managed to get a hold of Su Tongxin. ¡°What do you want? Speak up quickly!¡± ¡°Are you free this afternoon? A new movie just premiered in the cinemas. It is a very good movie and I want to watch it. I am looking for someone to apany me there.¡± Ma Xiaonan taught him to write this message. In short, many of Chen Hao¡¯s best friends were gathered around him. They were all devising strategies and advising Chen Hao. ¡°Haha, then why don¡¯t you go and ask that awesome girl then. Why are you asking me?¡± Su Tongxin replied coldly. ¡°I want to find the most beautiful, most generous yet easily angereddy to apany me to the movies. After thinking about it, I think you are quite suitable. If you do not want to go, why don¡¯t you rmend another girl who fits the above criteria then?¡± ¡°Get lost, I don¡¯t have anyone to rmend!¡± ¡°There¡¯s only you then.¡± ¡°Since when did you be such a smooth-talker? It¡¯s so unlike you.¡± Su Tongxin sent him a surprised emoji. To be honest, if youbined all their previous text messages, none could have made Su Tongxin more happier than the two sentences Chen Hao sent just now. ¡°So, do you want to go? I have already bought the tickets for you. It¡¯s ok if you reject me, but you need to rmend another girl exactly like you to apany me. Only then will I agree.¡± ¡°Hah! Since you are so sincere, I shall go under one condition. That is, you have to treat me to a meal. No way am I going there for nothing!¡± ¡°No problem.¡± It was a date then! Yang Hui and Ma Xiaonan gave him the thumbs up. Chen Hao only smiled bitterly while scratching his head. It turned out that there were so many things that you needed to know while chatting up a girl. In the past, Chen Hao didn¡¯t know all these. He would only answer the question that was asked and nothing more because Yang Xia had said that she was attracted to Chen Hao¡¯s honesty. Hence, both of them got along well. Now, the same sentence spoken with the same intention had a different effect to it when you added a few other words. This was a whole new ballgame altogether, Chen Hao thought to himself helplessly. The movie was scheduled to begin at 11. Chen Hao nned to reach there earlier with Su Tongxin at approximately 10. The moment he stepped out of the ssroom after his sses ended, Chen Hao¡¯s mobile phone rang. He was surprised when he saw the number. Su Ziyue was calling him. They had exchanged their numbers early on. Chen Hao told Su Ziyue that no matter what happened, she could give him a call. He immediately answered the call. Su Ziyue sounded quite anxious. ¡°Chen Hao, where are you?¡± ¡°I am on campus, what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Ying! Ying suddenly fainted and fell on the floor just now. I have brought her to the hospital b-but I don¡¯t have any money and they won¡¯t treat her unless I pay!¡± ¡°What? Which hospital are you guys at now? Ok, ok, I will go immediately!¡± The moment he heard that Ying had fainted and her condition was quite serious, Chen Hao started to panic. They had gotten along quite well the week before. Hence, he was really worried about Ying¡¯s condition. Chen Hao immediately ran downstairs and drove his car to the hospital. When he reached the hospital¡¯s entrance, Chen Hao saw Su Ziyue and the rest of the children waiting there. They looked anxious. He stopped the car by the roadside and immediately ran over. ¡°How is she?¡± Chen Hao took a look at the trembling Ying, whose face was drained of color. ¡°Ying had these symptoms in the past, but this time it¡¯s very bad.¡± Su Ziyue was so anxious that she nearly broke down and cried. Two of the children also shook Chen Hao¡¯s arms and said, ¡°Chen Hao, please save our sister.¡± ¡°Ok, let¡¯s bring her in and let the doctor take a look at her.¡± He took Ying from Su Ziyue¡¯s arms and prepared to run into the hospital¡¯s Emergency Department. ¡°You better stop where you are now! Why are you all being so persistent? I have already told you that we do not ept any patients who can¡¯t pay for their treatments. You better think of a way to raise the money quickly. Don¡¯t pester us anymore!¡± Two security guards surrounded them, thereby blocking Chen Hao¡¯s way. ¡°I have the money. Please treat this kid first,¡± said Chen Hao quickly. "Hey kid, it¡¯s not that we do not want to help you, but if we allow you to go in and you can¡¯t pay up, we would have to chase you out again. Why don¡¯t you think of a way to raise the money quickly?¡± Both of the security guards did not look young. When they saw that Su Ziyue did not have it easy, they toned their voices down a little. Obviously, Su Ziyue had been kicked out once before this. ¡°What¡¯s wrong Mr. Liu and Mr. Lee? Who are these beggars standing in front of the hospital¡¯s Content held by N?velDrama.Org. entrance? Huh? I thought I had chased these people out since they don''t have any money to pay. Why are they still here?¡± ¡°Dr. Qin, I am terribly sorry, I will chase them out now.¡± ¡°Make it quick, don¡¯t ruin our hospital¡¯s reputation. Let¡¯s go and have a meal, Mei Mei and Li. Today I will treat you all to something nice. Hehehe!¡± Dr. Qin fondled the two beautifuldies. The two beauties were looking at Chen Hao and the rest of them with disdain. ¡°Haha, you¡¯re quite stubborn. You better think of a way to raise the money quickly!¡± ¡°Look at them. I don¡¯t think they can afford the treatment anyway!¡± Both of them continued mocking them. They obviously looked down upon Chen Hao and Su Ziyue because of their attire. ¡°Dr. Qin, I beg you, please treat Ying! I beg you!¡± Su Ziyue was so anxious that she nearly knelt down in front of Dr. Qin. ¡°I have the money. Please treat her, and I will give you the money once she''s treated!¡± said Chen Hao with a cold look on his face. ¡°Oh? Do you really have the money then?¡± ¡°Hahaha, this is the greatest joke I have ever heard!¡± ¡°You stupid kid, are you trying to pull my leg here? Look at you! Haha, do you think you can fool me? No f*cking way! Get lost now!¡± Chen Hao looked at Su Ziyue. ¡°Give me half a minute, I will get us in soon.¡± After uttering those words, Chen Hao red at Dr. Qin and the two beautifuldies. He immediately ran to the side of the road and got into his car. Then, he stepped on the elerator and drove the car to the entrance. ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°Oh my God!¡± ¡°What is this?¡± All three of them were stunned. Especially Dr. Qin, whose face had turned white. It was a Lamborghini Revent¨®n. That luxury car was worth 18 million! This guy really was a wealthy person! Both of the prettydies were so surprised that they covered their mouths. The visual assault of this luxury car was way too much for them! ¡°Now, can we go in?¡± Chen Hao wound the windows down and said casually. ¡°Of course, of course. I will arrange for a team to see her immediately. I will not go out to eat anymore. I will do it as fast as I can,¡± said Dr. Qin anxiously. Chen Hao smiled coldly. Some people were just like that. If you were to ask them nicely, you would never get through them. However, if you were to hurt their pride, they would obediently follow yourmands. Ying was immediately pushed into the Emergency room. Very soon, the diagnostic report was out. Ying had anemia, and it was serious. However, they were confident that her condition could be treated within a year. Only then did Chen Hao and Su Ziyue rx. ¡°Young Master Chen, you have to pay extra attention to Ying and take care of her. Let her eat lots of fruits, alright?¡± At this moment, both of the pretty nurses surrounded Chen Hao. They were giving him lots of advice in an intimate manner. Chen Hao only smiled bitterly and nodded his head. Chen Hao only let out a sigh of relief when Ying was finally admitted to the wards. ¡°Ziyue, you better go back to work, or else the principal will scold you again,¡± both of the children shook their heads and said. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s ok, I have to take care of Ying.¡± ¡°We will take care of her, besides, Chen Hao is here as well!¡± ¡°How can a bunch of guys be meticulous enough to take care of her? Besides, what if Ying wanted to go to the toilet?¡± Su Ziyue was put in a difficult position. She really needed to go to work but she had to take care of the three children as well. However, Ying was more important. ¡°If you are busy, just go to work then. I will ask one of my friends to take care of Ying.¡± Should I ask those two nurses? To be honest, Chen Hao did not trust them. If he were to stay behind to take care of her, it wouldn¡¯t be convenient as well. Hence, Chen Hao suddenly thought of a youngdy. She would be the perfect candidate. Chen Hao was about to give Zheng Yue a call. F*ck! The moment he looked at his mobile phone, there were already 30 missed calls from Su Tongxin, not including the text messages and WeChat messages she sent him. The reason was, Chen Hao had a habit of putting his phone into silent mode when he was attending his morning sses. When his sses ended, he did not switch off his silent mode because he was in a hurry and he was kept busy until now. When he looked at the time, it was nearly 1 o¡¯clock. In other words, he had stood Su Tongxin up for at least 2 hours¡­ Chapter 112 To Go on a Blind Date Again Chapter 112 To Go on a Blind Date Again Firstly, he called Zheng Yue. Zheng Yue loved money, but after getting along with Chen Hao these past few months, she really took his matters to heart. Sure enough, after Chen Hao made that call, she came immediately. Only then did Chen Hao wipe away the cold sweat from his forehead. Then, he called Su Tongxin again. The number you have dialed could not be reached at the moment¡­ Her mobile phone was switched off again. Chen Hao sent her a message on WeChat. Sure enough, she had deleted his number and blocked him. Sigh! To be honest, Chen Hao med himself more than he did yesterday when he said the wrong things to Su Tongxin. This time, he had stood her up big time and he did not know how to exin it anymore. When Chen Hao returned to school, he went to look for Su Tongxin a few times. However, the door was mmed right in his face. Su Tongxinpletely ignored him. He did not know how long this cold war wouldst. Chen Hao walked alone in the campus grounds and eventually jogged to the garden where he nned to stay alone for a while. Chen Hao was really at a loss when it came to dealing with rtionship problems. Today, he heard a saying that went like this, ¡®When a girl says she doesn¡¯t want it, she actually means the opposite!¡¯ He thought of Yang Xia. Both of them had walked hand in hand in this very garden before. Eventually, Chen Hao had plucked up his courage and asked Yang Xia whether they could get a hotel room. p! ¡°Get lost, Chen Hao. What kind of girl do you think I am?¡± Chen Hao still remembered that he was pped and scolded by Yang Xia. It was obvious that she did not want to. He really felt that her attitude at that time meant that she did not want to! Chen Hao really med himself then. That was right. Yang Xia was such a nice girl, so how was it possible for her to have such a thought? Chen Hao gradually treated her better after this. However, thinking about it¡­ Sigh, women. I wonder where Yang Xia went and what is she doing right now? The scene reminded him of Yang Xia. However, these thoughts only appeared for a fleeting moment. He sat in the garden until it was 5 o¡¯clock in the evening. At this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s mobile phone rang. It was Zheng Yue. ¡°Young Master Chen, w-where are you?¡± He noticed that Zheng Yue sounded anxious. She also sounded like she was crying. Chen Hao¡¯s nerves were set on edge, did something happen to Ying? ¡°I am in the campus now. I am about to bring some food to the hospital for all of you. Zheng Yue, what¡¯s wrong?¡± asked Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen, something happened this afternoon. It¡¯s my mother! I thought she was pulling my leg in the beginning and I told her clearly that I did not want to go. But now, my mother has actually reserved a table in a restaurant and wants me to go for a blind date!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen, I really don¡¯t want to go. I am still too young! Tell me I¡¯m right!¡± Zheng Yue was crying as she said that. Chen Hao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her words. Her family must be forcing her to go on a date. To be honest, it wasn¡¯t the first time this situation had happened around Chen Hao. It wasn¡¯t out of the ordinary anyway. Now that they were going to graduate soon, not to mention Zheng Yue who had graduated a long time ago, wasn¡¯t there a saying for people like them? At every stage of life, almost everyone would be experiencing the same thing as their peers. Dating was one of them. ¡°You really don¡¯t want to?¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master Chen, I really don¡¯t want to go. What should I do? My mum has already arranged the banquet and the guy¡¯s family are headed there already. They did not specifically say that it was a date but a friendly gathering between our families!¡± ¡°Ok, I will go with youter. I will reject them for you!¡± Chen Hao said casually. ¡°Huh? Young Master Chen, do you really mean it? You are too nice! Then, Young Master Chen, do I tell them that you are my counsellor or friend? Or¡­¡± ¡°Just tell them I am your friend.¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. Since Zheng Yue had helped him out today, he should return the favor as well. After all, Zheng Yue was his employee and since she had begged him to help her, he couldn¡¯t just ignore her. Hence, Chen Hao took the initiative this time. After the agreement was made, Chen Hao went to the hospital to bring Ying her meal. After Su Ziyue returned, only then did he leave with Zheng Yue. The banquet was held in one of the private rooms of a restaurant in Jin Ling. This was not the first time that Chen Hao did something like that, hence he was quite familiar with the procedures already. All of them started the same way. He pushed the door open. ¡°Oh, Zheng Yue, you¡¯rete! Huh? Who¡¯s this guy?¡± In the private room, a fashionable-looking middle-aged woman was looking coldly in the direction of Chen Hao. She must be Zheng Yue¡¯s mother. Chen Hao¡¯s ordinary appearance alone was enough to make the middle-aged woman look at him with contempt. She was from the city, hence since a long time ago, she had always looked down upon people who came from the countryside. ¡°Yes, his name is Chen Hao and he is my, erm, boyfriend.¡± Zheng Yue did not know what she was thinking at that time, but she actually blurted out these words. I thought we agreed that we were just friends? Damn, I have be somebody¡¯s boyfriend again! Chen Hao felt embarrassed, but it was toote and there was no way he could refute the statement. On the other hand, Zheng Yue stuck her tongue out after saying those words. She was a bit emotional right now. Yes, what was she thinking back there? Of course, she was thinking about how nice it would be if Chen Hao was her boyfriend. These past few days, Zheng Yue even thought about it in her dreams. In the past, she only liked Chen Hao after she knew that he was rich. However, after spending some time with each other these past few months, Zheng Yue had clearly seen the other side of Chen Hao. He was a humble and reserved person. In addition to that, he was a warm and forgiving person and he really trusted her. Zheng Yue had liked him from the start but his personality made Zheng Yue respect him even more. Naturally, she was head over heels for him. ¡°What? Zheng Yue, what did you say? He is your boyfriend?¡± Zheng Yue¡¯s mother and father were surprised. Both of them were so stunned that their mouths were wide open. Both of them were public officials and they were very particr about finding the right match for their daughter in terms of social and economic standing. However, their daughter had actually brought along her boyfriend to this blind date. This can¡¯t be happening¡­ ¡°Father, mother, you¡¯re right, he is indeed my boyfriend. We have been together for quite a while now.¡± ¡°Chen¡­ Hao,e and greet my parents.¡± Since Young Master Chen did not correct her, Zheng Yue was emboldened and reminded him to greet her parents. ¡°Nice to meet you, Madam¡­¡± ¡°What do you mean nice?! Hmph! Where did this kide from and how did a scumbag like you get acquainted with my daughter? Get lost immediately!¡± Zheng Yue¡¯s mother immediately criticized him. She was put in a difficult situation. She had just made a promise to the leader¡¯s wife to let both their children meet and get acquainted with each other. If everything went smoothly, they would have been inws by the end of the night. Wouldn¡¯t that have been great? She did not expect her daughter to deviate from the path that she had nned for her. Now, look at the mess she had made! How could her daughter bring her boyfriend along after she had expended so much effort to force and threaten her toe? The young man¡¯s family was going to arrive soon. If they were to see Chen Haoter, they might turn into enemies instead of friends. This was infuriating. Naturally, she resented Chen Hao very much. While they were talking, the door to the room suddenly opened. Outside, a group of people came in carrying something. ¡°Mr. Zheng, I am so sorry that we¡¯rete. Hahaha!¡± Four people came in. Amongst them, there was a young man and a youngdy. That youngdy looked very pretty. To be honest, the Zheng¡¯s family was still in a daze when they saw them. What was happening? This young man must be Mr. Jiang¡¯s son. Then who was this youngdy?N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Could he have brought along his girlfriend? ¡°Oh yeah, Mr. Zheng, let me introduce you to my third brother¡¯s daughter who is also my niece. She wanted to tag along with her cousin. She is a fourth year student in Jin Ling College.¡± ¡°My dear niece, please greet Mr. Zheng warmly.¡± However, this youngdy didn¡¯t seem to hear her uncle¡¯s words. At this moment, she was staring fixedly at Chen Hao. The corners of her mouth curved upward into a mocking smile. ¡°Haha, Chen Hao, fancy seeing you here.¡± Chapter 113 A Boy Toy Chapter 113 A Boy Toy Obviously the girl knew Chen Hao. Chen Hao was startled when he saw the pretty girl in front of him. ¡°Jiang Weiwei?¡± Ever since the incident of beating Wang Yang, the rtionship between Chen Hao and Jiang Weiwei had ruptured. Jiang Weiwei had been secretly in love with Wang Yang for so long. Even if Chen Hao had given her expensive clothes as a present before, in her eyes, he was still iparable to Wang Yang. Moreover, Jiang Weiwei was almost dismissed as the president of the student council because of him and therefore, she had been shooting daggers at him when she bumped into him these days. Who knew that they would meet here today? ¡°Chen Hao, what¡¯re you doing here?¡± Jiang Weiwei said differently. ¡°Chen Hao, do you know each other?¡± Zheng Yue came to Chen Hao¡¯s side immediately and asked flirtatiously. ¡°I know her. We¡¯re in the same department!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. He then looked at Jiang Weiwei and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to meet Zheng Yue¡¯s parents.¡± ¡°Meet her parents? Why?¡± Jiang Weiwei¡¯s face darkened. Meanwhile, the rest of the Jiang family members also looked at Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao is my boyfriend. Why do you think he is here to meet my parents?¡± Zheng Yue didn¡¯t beat around the bush. She really wasn¡¯t interested in the guy named Jiang Ziqiao at all. Zheng Yue hadn¡¯t realized that her standards for a boyfriend had be higher after she met Chen Hao. I know someone who is more powerful. Even if you¡¯re really excellent, you are nothingpared to Young Master Chen. This was Zheng Yue¡¯s mentality now when choosing a boyfriend. However, her reply was like a bomb which astonished everyone, especially those from the Jiang family. They were excited to meet Zheng Yue as they heard that she was rted to the Jin Ling Commercial Group. She was pretty and came from a family with simr social and economic standing. Overall, it would be great if she could be the daughter-inw of Jiang¡¯s family. Unexpectedly, Zheng Yue had already gotten a boyfriend and they only found out now. They had even brought their son here for the blind date. ¡°Mr. Zheng, what¡¯s going on?¡± Jiang Weiwei¡¯s uncle asked in a displeasing tone. The guy named Jiang Ziqiao also looked at Chen Hao with hostility. He liked Zheng Yue very much! Meanwhile, he quickly scanned Chen Hao from head to toe to find his strongest point so that he could Zheng Yue¡¯s parents apologized in a hurry, saying it was all a misunderstanding. However, they were cursing Chen Hao viciously in their heart, Why was this loser here? He¡¯s messing things up! ¡°Dad, calm down. Just like Uncle Zheng said, it might be a misunderstanding. Besides, this guy is Weiwei¡¯s ssmate!¡± Jiang Zicheng raised up his hand to show off his watch, smiling nonchntly. ¡°Haha, ssmates? Chen Hao, now I know why you have been behaving so gloriously. It turns out that you have be someone¡¯s boyfriend. To be frank, although I was irked that you became rich after winning the lottery, I thought that you were not as disgusting as before because you¡¯ve given me expensive clothes as a present, even though I still hate you.¡± ¡°But now, you are more disgusting than I could ever imagine!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t understand how you became so rich. You¡¯ve just won a lottery but your money never seemed to run out, but I finally get it now. You¡¯ve been provided for. As expected, there¡¯s something going on between the two of you!¡± Jiang Weiwei had kept silent all the while after she entered the room. It slowly dawned on her that the girl was Zheng Yue. She was the girl whom Xu Chao was pursuing. The other day, Xu Nan and Lin Jiao had caught her red- handed with her boy toy, Chen Hao, in her car. She had witnessed the incident with her own eyes but Jiang Weiwei thought it was impossible after she observed further. From her point of view, she would never keep a scum like Chen Hao as her boy toy if she really wanted to. But now, this girl had admitted that Chen Hao was her boyfriend! Therefore, Jiang Weiwei didn¡¯t care about courtesy anymore when she talked. She stared at Chen Hao proudly and thought, You think you¡¯re superb, huh? Hahaha, you¡¯re just a boy toy, and nothing else! Listening to her words, Zheng Yue¡¯s parents were humiliated. Jiang Weiwei had implied that he was a freeloader. Zheng Yue¡¯s mother pointed at Chen Hao and asked her daughter, ¡°Zheng Yue, tell me, who is this Chen Hao? Is he really your boy toy?¡± ¡°Mum, no! Listen to my exnation!¡± Zheng Yue said anxiously. She never knew that this simple act to refuse the marriage would turn into a mess. She was speechless toward Jiang Weiwei. She had appeared at the worst possible time. ¡°I don¡¯t want to listen to your excuses. Tell me, yes or no?¡± Zheng Yue¡¯s mother asked firmly. Crossing her arms, Jiang Weiwei walked up to Jiang Ziqiao¡¯s side and said with a smile, "Brother, you don''t have to worry. Do you remember what I told you about this poor dude in our department? He is so poor that he doesn¡¯t even have dignity, and so poor that his ex-girlfriend dumped him. The ex-girlfriend immediately dated a rich heir after that.¡± ¡°Later on, he kept bragging after he won some lottery. Do you still remember him? Hahaha, that¡¯s him!¡± Jiang Weiwei thought, Since I have fallen out with you, it can¡¯t get any worse now. You, Chen Hao, have made me suffer a lot. Initially, I wanted to be your friend, thinking that you have be rich. Before I found out that you weren¡¯t really wealthy, I even wanted to be your girlfriend, especially when you gave me the piece of clothing which cost about 50,000 to 60,000. Although you said that it was to thank me for my help, you were still willing to give me such an expensive item. It¡¯s a lie if I said I wasn¡¯t touched by that. But now, you¡¯re just a jerk! It¡¯s useless even if you have money! She purposely said it in public so that Zheng Yue would be aware of his previous behavior and dump him. Jiang Ziqiao¡¯s eyes glimmered at that moment. If Chen Hao was really that poor dude, he had nothing to worry about. ¡°Zheng Yue, tell me! Is Weiwei telling the truth? Is he just a poor loser?¡± Zheng Yue¡¯s mum asked forcefully. What a shame! What an embarrassment! ¡°I¡­¡± Zheng Yue had no idea what to say. She didn¡¯t know how to answer her mum. ¡°Yes, I was poor before, but I didn¡¯t lose my dignity because of poverty. I just wanted to earn money for my living expenses so that I could study hard and have a bright future. Is that wrong?¡± Chen Hao was triggered by Jiang Weiwei¡¯s disdainful remarks. He couldn¡¯t help it but vent it all out. ¡°Why do you guys always judge me? Although I¡¯m poor, I have never done anything to offend you. Why do you all keep bullying me?¡± Staring at Jiang Weiwei, Chen Hao growled in fury. For the past three years, the number of times Jiang Weiwei had humiliated him were as many as Lu Chen and his gang. She never cared about his pride or dignity at all even in public. There was once, she bumped into him walking out of the ssroom with Yang Xia. She actually scolded him in front of everyone, ¡°Chen Hao, how can a poor loser like you get a girlfriend? Oh my gosh, I¡¯m really speechless!¡± ¡°By the way, go clean the lecture hall. There¡¯s no need for you to eat with your girlfriend. Besides, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you go to the cafeteria or not. You¡¯re just a poor scum who can¡¯t even afford to Content held by N?velDrama.Org. eat once you stop working part-time!¡± ¡°What? Are you going against me?¡± p! She had pped him on his face. ¡°Believe it or not, I¡¯ll stop your student subsidies and kick you out!¡± This happened when they were still in their first or second year in college. Jiang Weiwei treated him that way in front of Yang Xia. Yang Xia even had several arguments with her because of this. As for Chen Hao, he felt like he was repressing a demon that had possessed him. He had been bearing all the grievances in his heart. Things got better in his third year. It was because Jiang Weiwei was toozy to even scold him. Haha¡­ Chen Hao remembered everything she had done and said to him. He never mentioned it but it didn¡¯t mean that he had forgotten. ¡°Hmph! So you really are a poor loser! Stop wasting my daughter¡¯s time. You better get out now!¡± Zheng Yue¡¯s mother was trembling in anger. Suddenly, she grabbed a cup of hot tea from the table and sshed it on Chen Hao¡¯s face... Chapter 114 No More Tolerance Chapter 114 No More Tolerance ¡°Mom! No!¡± Zheng Yue was stunned when she saw this. Her eyes widened and she quickly stopped her mother, but it was toote. The water had been sshed out. Chen Hao didn''t have time to dodge either. Fortunately, her mother missed the target. The cup of hot tea only managed tond on Chen Hao''s body. Chen Hao was drenched at once and he was covered with tea leaves. ¡°Hmph, a person like you is not worthy of my daughter! Get away from her!¡± Zheng Yue''s mother angrily smashed the cup on the ground. By doing so, she was giving off a message. She wanted to let the Jiang family know that Zheng family was absolutely sincere. As for the loser Chen Hao, she was toozy to care about him. ¡°Hmph, you deserve it, Chen Hao. Raise your head, I want to record a video of you so that the whole department knows that you are a disgusting loser. Haha!¡± Jiang Weiweiughed in relief. Jiang''s family also sneered. Chen Hao never thought that Zheng Yue''s mother would do this. To what extent did she hate him for her to ssh the tea on him in public? With his hands, Chen Hao carefully picked the tea leaves on his body. His eyes scanned everyone in the room furiously, especially Jiang Weiwei. ¡°Wei Wei, do you think I''m really poor? What would you do if you found out that one day, I was not poor but actually very rich?¡± ¡°And the rest of you, your behaviour of despising the poor and currying favor with the rich is disgusting. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Just because someone is poor, it doesn¡¯t mean that they are not human beings. Why are you so arrogant? If you found out that you were the poor losers in my eyes, what would you do then?¡± Zheng Yue thought Chen Hao was going to get angry, but his voice was surprisingly indifferent. ¡°Hahaha!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, you are a fool! You are going crazy thinking about money! You think you''re very rich? Oh please! I¡¯ve recorded what you just said, so let''s show the world what an embarrassment you are!¡± Jiang Weiwei held her stomach andughed with derision. ¡°Zheng Yue, is this person really your boyfriend? Haha, you still treat him as a human? Just look at him, does he look like a human? Poor scum, this kind of person should just die on the street for good. He is poor now and will always be poor for the rest of his life. He will never be sessful!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right! Look at his clothes. Zheng Yue, I know that you might be blinded by love, and I understand that. Well, Uncle Jiang managed to get three tickets to visit the outer section of the vi. Isn''t there an event at Hot Spring Vi today? Let Ziqiao and Weiwei apany you. Go have fun together. Oh right, you used to be a supervisor in the vi right? You have to bring Ziqiao and Weiwei around!¡± Jiang Ziqiao''s mother chimed in. It looked like she knew how to handle things. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Just go, don¡¯t mind me!¡± Chen Hao said lightly. Zheng Yue wanted to shake her head, but she was too scared to refuse when she heard his tone. Chen Hao finally understood that it was impossible for him to lead a simple college life. There¡¯s always someone out there looking for trouble! There¡¯s always someone out there looking to mock me! In that case, there¡¯s no need for me to submit to them. At this time, Chen Hao reached into his pocket and wanted to take out a tissue to wipe his shirt. With a thud, his Lamborghini car key fell out as he pulled out his tissues. He really did not do it on purpose. Chen Hao didn''t mean to prove them wrong in this way. He reached out his hand to pick up the key. ¡°Oh! A car key? It looks weird!¡± Before he could touch it, Jiang Weiwei had picked it up. She looked at it closely. ¡°Pfft!¡± Finally, she scoffed. ¡°Oh dear! It¡¯s a Lamborghini car key. My God, Chen Hao, do you drive a Lamborghini?¡± ¡°Haha, this car key is fake. Lamborghini keys don¡¯t look like this!¡± At first, Jiang Ziqiao was shocked. However, when he looked closely, he smiled. This car key was obviously different from the others. It looked like a controller with the logo of Lamborghini. To be honest, not many people have seen this car controller. Therefore, Jiang Ziqiao and Jiang Weiwei couldn¡¯t be med for having this reaction. ¡°Hahaha, Chen Hao, I can''t imagine an idiot like you valuing your vanity this much. You even bought a toy car key. Please, if you want to amaze people, can¡¯t you use a more realistic one?¡± ¡°I really don''t want to talk about him. Brother, let''s go to Hot Spring Vi in your Maserati. Zheng Yue, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Hmph! Chen Hao, from today onward, the most disgusting person in our department is you! You should get lost immediately!¡± Bang! Jiang Weiwei threw the Lamborghini car key in front of Chen Hao. Zheng Yue didn''t dare to go against Chen Hao, so she left reluctantly. ¡°Mr. Zheng, why don''t you follow us and have a look at Ziqiao''s new car?¡± Jiang Weiwei¡¯s father suggested. ¡°All right, let¡¯s go together! Damn, get out of my way!¡± When Zheng Yue''s mother walked past Chen Hao, she gave him a hard shove. ¡°Sigh!¡± Chen Hao exhaled heavily. He picked up the car key and followed them out. In that case, he didn''t have to tolerate anyone anymore¡­ When he walked out, Jiang Weiwei and the gang hadn''t left. They had surrounded the Lamborghini Revent¨®n while discussing heatedly. ¡°Oh dear! This is the one. Brother, do you know? I''m telling you, this car belongs to a rich tyrant in our college! Oh my gosh, he must be here! He must be eating in this restaurant!¡± When Jiang Weiwei saw the car, she jumped excitedly. She had always wanted to know this rich heir of Jin Ling. ¡°Ziqiao, do you know what car this is?¡± At this time, Jiang Ziqiao''s father and Zheng Yue''s parents came. Everyone was shocked. They hadn¡¯t noticed this car when they came here just now! One look and you could tell that this car was a luxury car. ¡°It¡¯s a Lamborghini. I don''t know what model it is, but it should be more expensive than a Lamborghini Veneno! Such luxury!¡± ¡°Oh my God!¡± The Zheng family and the Jiang family all took a breath of cool air. ¡°This is a Revent¨®n. It belongs to a rich heir in our school!¡± Jiang Weiwei hastily added. While she was talking, Chen Hao walked past them. ¡°Chen Hao, what are you doing?¡± ¡°This poor loser hasn''t left yet?¡± Jiang Ziqiao sneered. ¡°Yes, what is this poor loser doing in the parking lot?¡± Zheng Yue''s mother said. ¡°This poor loser is here to take his car. Everyone, see you!¡± Chen Hao smiled softly and pressed a button on his car key. Beep Beep! The car sounded and the headlights flickered. The roof retracted automatically and turned into a convertible. Chen Hao climbed into the car. ¡°What?¡± Everyone was dumbfounded, especially Jiang Weiwei. She almost let out a high-pitched scream. C-Chen Hao''s the owner of this car? So that car key was real! Is this car really Chen Hao''s? The mysterious rich guy in the faculty is Chen Hao. He must be the superb Ordinary Guy too! ¡°Ah! Chen Hao, what¡¯s going on? Is this car yours? Is it really yours?¡± Instead of feeling as if she had been pped, Jiang Weiwei felt as though a bomb had just exploded in her heart. Her whole body was trembling and she was bewildered! Disbelief spread across her face. It can¡¯t be! He was just a poor loser! What''s going on here? Chapter 115 A Reshuffle in Jin Ling Commercial Group Chapter 115 A Reshuffle in Jin Ling Commercial Group Zheng Yue''s parents were shocked. They even called him a poor loser and told him to stay away from their daughter a while ago. No wonder he said that they were the ones who were poor in his eyes. It was exactly the case! Honk! Chen Hao sounded his horn. The engine roared to life and he slowly exited the parking lot. When he passed by Jiang Weiwei, Chen Hao didn''t look at her at all. She dreadfully hoped that he would spare her a nce. It didn¡¯t matter if he wanted to scold her or p her in the face. But he did nothing. He just ignored her. As for Chen Hao, he felt like he had done enough for Zheng Yue. He stepped on the elerator and sped out of the parking lot. Silent revenge was much better than ostentatious unting. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t care less about their reactions. ¡°How much is his family¡¯s worth?¡± At that moment, Jiang Ziqiao gulped. Jiang Weiwei was utterly lost. She felt weak and her brain was nk. She couldn¡¯t answer this question at all. To be honest, she had an urge to ditch her own dignity just now. She wanted to spring forward to apologize to Chen Hao and ask for his forgiveness. After all, he was wealthy now. He looked so utterly handsome when he got into the car! She even had an impulse to take a picture of Chen Hao''s car and let the whole school know as a way to show off, but Jiang Weiwei calmed down. Are you stupid, Jiang Weiwei? If the whole school knew Chen Hao¡¯s identity, then wouldn¡¯t there be morepetitors? Besides that, if everyone knew how awesome Chen Hao was, you would be the first to be humiliated, Jiang Weiwei. Therefore Weiwei, you have to work hard! After all, many love stories start with conflict between the male and female protagonist. The voices in her head were constantly reminding Jiang Weiwei. The others were curious about Chen Hao¡¯s identity, so they looked at Zheng Yue for an exnation. Zheng Yue just shook her head and said, ¡°Don''t ask me, I don''t know anything! I really don''t know anything!¡± It was a littlete now. It was around seven o''clock when Chen Hao sent a message to Su Ziyue to ensure that Ying was fine and rested. After that, Chen Hao was ready to go back to the dormitory to sleep. Suddenly, the phone rang again. It was Li Zhenguo. Why is he calling me at this hour? ¡°Young Master Chen, where are you? I''m sorry to call you at this time!¡± ¡°Oh, I''m about to drive back to college. What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Ahem, well, it¡¯s about the General Manager position of Jin Ling Commercial Group. Miss Chen Xiao has sent a new General Manager to rece me, and this General Manager has been a friend of mine for many years. His name is Zhao Zixing, and he boarded a flight tonight immediately after he epted the position.¡± ¡°I know, my sister mentioned it to me.¡± ¡°Well so, he meant to pay you a visit and asked me to contact you!¡± Chen Hao thought that this person was very good at currying favors. The first thing he did after he got off the ne was to arrange to meet him. Sure enough, those who were employed by her sister were no ordinary people. ¡°Pay me a visit? Where shall we meet? How about this, let¡¯s meet at the vi tonight. Please help me make arrangements, see you at the viter!¡± ¡°Alright, Young Master Chen!¡± After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao turned his car around and went straight to the vi. He didn''t know anything about Zhao Zixing, but since he wanted to visit him, Chen Hao thought it best to agree. Acting high and mighty was something that only his sister would do. He wouldn¡¯t enjoy doing that. No harm meeting and having a meal. Soon, he arrived at the vi. There was an event at the vi to wee Zhao Zixing, the new General Manager. Although it was alreadyte, the vi was brightly lit. There were many rich second generations, young masters and tycoons entering and leaving. When Chen Hao arrived at the entrance, he took one look and decided that he didn¡¯t want to get down here. He drove around to the back and entered from the exclusive passage. He reached the lobby. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. At this time, Li Zhenguo and a middle-aged man were already standing at the door respectfully. Only two of them were present. The middle-aged man must be Zhao Zixing. He looked steady and mature. However, looking at his eyes, Chen Hao felt that he was the kind of person who was very aggressive in his work. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Li Zhenguo shouted with respect. ¡°It''s my honor to meet you, Young Master Chen. I''m Zhao Zixing!¡± Zhao Zixing bowed, full of respect. ¡°Hello, General Manager Zhao! Drop the formality. Let''s go in and talk.¡± Chen Hao smiled. After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhao Zixing started to introduce himself and talked about Jin Ling Commercial Group¡¯s future development ns. It was very creative and powerful enough to overthrow Li Zhenguo¡¯s previous operating model. At work, he didn''t seem to be considerate of his good friend¡¯s pride. ¡°By the way, Young Master Chen, I heard from Zhenguo that you recently bought Cloud Manor? Is there further renovation being carried out?¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Ahem, Young Master Chen, I was a professional interior designer before this. I studied in Europe and majored in interior design. Can you put me in charge of the renovation work of Cloud Manor? I promise I will be able to satisfy you, Young Master Chen!¡± Zhao Zixing smiled respectfully. Bang! This time, Li Zhenguo couldn¡¯t bear it. He couldn¡¯t help but ce his tea cup down with a thud. ¡°General Manager Zhao, you have just arrived and are unfamiliar with the workings of thepany. It¡¯s better for you to take some time to acquire the necessary knowledge. Besides, I''ve already started the renovation for Young Master Chen''s mansion. It''s expected to bepleted in ten days. Don''t you worry about it!¡± Damn, I''ve shown you courtesy by introducing you to Young Master Chen. You are going too far by snatching my project 5 minutes after you have arrived! ¡°General Manager Li, ten days is it? If I were in charge of the project, I would be able to finish the renovation of the mansion within five days with superior quality. I¡¯ll never dy Young Master Chen from moving into the mansion!¡± Zhao Zixing retorted. ¡°In five days? General Manager Zhao, isn¡¯t that too far-fetched?¡± Chen Haoughed. ¡°I am prepared to sign a deed for it. If Young Master Chen can''t move into the mansion after five days, I will immediately submit my resignation to the headquarters!¡± Zhao Zixing stood up while saying and looked dead serious. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t bring himself to reject him. Anyway, it was just a renovation project. It didn¡¯t matter who was in charge. In addition, Li Zhenguo was too frightened to refute at the moment. He dared not make such a deed. Besides, why am I being jealous? No matter how close Zhao Zixing is with Young Master Chen, I guess he can nevere close to my rtionship with Young Master Chen. Therefore, this matter was assigned to Zhao Zixing. After they ended their conversation, Zhao Zixing still needed to entertain some guests. Chen Hao decided not to join and headed to the vi''s bedroom to rest. ¡°Well done, General Manager Zhao, I admire you for your style and courage. But I have to remind you that you must be careful while working in Jin Ling, especially when ites to Young Master Chen. His identity hasn''t been announced to the public. Consider this a friendly reminder!¡± ¡®I¡¯m aware. Apart from me, almost all the people I brought with me don''t know about Young Master Chen''s identity. I didn¡¯t even tell my wife. I know that General Manager Li was dismissed from the headquarters due to the incident in which Young Master Chen''s identity was exposed and was almost killed. I won''t make such a mistake. Haha!¡± Zhao Zixing smiled nonchntly. Li Zhenguo just took a deep breath. This matter indeed pained him the most. His negligence had almost caused Young Master Chen to be killed by Ning Fan. It was scary to think about it. After Chen Hao took a rest, he did not fall asleep. His mind was wandering aimlessly, and just then, his sister called. ¡°Damn, there are only two days left. What have you been doing? Didn¡¯t I tell you to finish spending the money? There¡¯s still 200 million left! Do you want to see me dead?¡± His sister''s roar frightened him. It suddenly urred to him that it only cost him 800 million to buy the mansion. There was still another 200 million left. What should I do? How should I spend it? I¡¯m doomed! Chen Hao couldn¡¯t sleep for the whole night. Early in the morning, an idea came to mind... Chapter 116 The Embarrassing Moment of Chen Hao Chapter 116 The Embarrassing Moment of Chen Hao How should I spend the remaining 200 million? An idea sparked in Chen Hao¡¯s mind. Chen Hao had discovered it by chance when he was talking to Su Ziyue some time ago. Su Ziyue had posted a photo in her Wechat Moment. It was also the only post that she had. The background of the photo was a mountain. The whole mountain was covered with thick jungle and the scenery was breathtaking. At that time, Chen Hao even teased that her beauty matched the magnificent view of the mountain. He remembered that photo. Meanwhile, Su Ziyue also told Chen Hao the story of that ce. Su Ziyue stayed in an orphanage for some time until she was adopted by her foster parents. She used to live in the vige at the foot of the mountain with her foster parents. However, her foster parents passed away in a car identter. Only then did she leave the vige to make a living after that. Chen Hao hit his own thigh when he thought of the idea. I have to get started in investment sooner orter. That mountain has not been developed yet. How about building a new entertainment vi on this mountain? He immediately gave Su Ziyue a call. Su Ziyue was initially very surprised after hearing his n but she reassured him that the view on the mountain was really out of this world, especially if viewed from the peak of the mountain. Listening to her description, Chen Hao was very excited. He asked Su Ziyue to make time to visit the ce with him tomorrow. Then, Chen Hao proceeded to call Li Zhenguo immediately and asked him to provide him with a report of this mountain, including the investment value and such. Ever since he knew that he was a descendant of a wealthy family, this could be considered his first meaningful investment. His investment in SameCity Live Streaming App did not count because it was a decision that he had made on the spur of the moment. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Thus, not only did Li Zhenguo pay high attention to it, Chen Hao also took this very seriously. After arranging everything, Chen Hao still couldn¡¯t sleep due to the joy and excitement inside him. Since he was extremely bored, he decided to take a bath in the hot spring. He jumped out of bed and left his room. The weing event for Zhao Zixing had ended by this time. The vi had quietened down. It was even more secluded here in the hot spring. Chen Hao knew how to swim ever since he was young. He changed into his swimming trunks excitedly and jumped into the hot spring. Right after Chen Hao dived into the water, a prettydy in a sexy bikini with long hair emerged from the center of the hot spring. As she flipped her hair, it formed a beautiful arc in the air before dropping on her back. A few people jogged toward the entrance of the hot spring. It was a woman with four bodyguards. ¡°All of you are so careless! Thepany is paying you to protect Miss Shen Qian''er. I can¡¯t believe you actually let Miss Qian''er soak in the hot spring alone!¡± ¡°Damn you! Don¡¯t you know that the paparazzi are trying hard to take Miss Qian''er¡¯s photo to create gossip?¡± ¡°Sorry, Madam Hong. It¡¯s our fault, but this is Hot Spring Vi. Paparazzis wouldn¡¯t dare toe in here, right?¡± ¡°Cut the nonsense! We should do our best in protecting her. Miss Qian''er still has an important film to shoot. You can¡¯t bear the consequences if anything happens to Miss Qian''er, not even if you gave her your lives!¡± Madam Hong nagged all the way from the corridor to the hot spring. Shen Qian''er had finished bathing at this time. After her performance in Jin Ling City today, she found it boring to stay in the room alone. It was tiring to care about her image all the time. She had heard that Hot Spring Vi was a famous ce for a long time now. That was why Shen Qian''er turned down the invitation of some big bosses, who invited her to spend time in their rooms, and came here to take a hot spring bath instead. ¡°Madam Hong, I was the one who asked them to stay outside. I wanted to enjoy the hot spring bath here. Everything is fine so just wait for me near the rockery. I¡¯m changing now.¡± Shen Qian''er said coldly. The bodyguards gulped when they saw Shen Qian''er¡¯s sexy figure. They followed her orders and went out. Her manager immediately brought a white bathrobe for her. ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with mypany. It¡¯s so irksome to be followed by all those stinky men all the time!¡± ¡°Haha, let me guess. If it was Young Master Chen from Jin Ling who followed you all day round, you wouldn¡¯t find it irksome anymore, am I right?¡± Madam Hongughed. ¡°Sigh, speaking of Young Master Chen, I¡¯m a bit disappointed because I thought I could meet him here today. Hmph, what a waste of my effort. He wasn¡¯t even here!¡± ¡°Is that why you''re here in a three-point bikini? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being photographed by the others? You''re too bold! You¡¯re an A-list celebrity. You should be more careful!¡± Madam Hong smiled and said helplessly. ¡°Nah, the Hot Spring Vi is well-known for its tight security. Not only do I want to wear a bikini, I even want to skinny-dip.¡± While saying that, Shen Qian''er fiddled with her bikini strings mischievously and was about to loosen it. ¡°Pfff! I can¡¯t hold it anymore!¡± Just then, there was a loud sounding from the water. Chen Hao emerged from the water and gasped heavily. ¡°Ah!¡± the two women shrieked in terror at the same time. They had moved to the other side of the hot spring in fright. Actually, when Chen Hao plunged into the water just now, he had already seen Shen Qian''er¡¯s silhouette under the water. As Shen Qian''er¡¯s swimsuit was too revealing, it reminded Chen Hao of the quotes from Guo Degang, a famousedian, that went like this, ¡®In the olden days, you can only see a woman¡¯s bottom when you lift the swimsuit, but nowadays, you can only see the swimsuits when you pull a woman¡¯s buttcheeks apart.¡¯ Chen Hao thought that this woman was naked. He was startled when he saw her, so he lifted his head halfway out of the water to observe and listen to them. That was when he found out that this woman was actually a celebrity who was very famoustely¡ª Shen Qian''er! She was probably invited to perform in this vi today. Chen Hao initially nned to hold his breath under the water until the female celebrity had left. He never thought that Shen Qian''er, who was usually a dignifieddy, would actually want to skinny- dip. She almost untied her bikini! He was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding so he immediately jumped out of the water. ¡°Oh f*ck! How long have you been here?¡± Shen Qian''er quickly covered the lower part of her body. Her bikini was almost untied and it was nearly falling off. Of course she would be embarrassed. Her furious roar followed. ¡°Oh my gosh. That¡¯s why I told you to be more careful, Qian''er. This jerk is certainly here to snap photos of you! He must have seen your whole body!¡± Madam Hong panicked and quickly wrapped Shen Qian''er¡¯s body with the bathrobe. ¡°You f*cking get out now!¡± Rage pulsed through Shen Qian''er¡¯s veins. She pointed at Chen Hao and scolded him furiously. She even grabbed a big rock. ¡°Woah, calm down. I¡¯m getting out now!¡± Chen Hao had seen Shen Qian''er¡¯s dramas before. Why was she so different from what he saw in the drama? It was too coincidental. If he had known that Shen Qian''er was bathing here, he would never have gone down into the water. ¡°Miss Qian''er, I¡¯m your fan¡­ Oops!¡± Chen Hao exined in a hurry, but before he could finish, he felt something warm flow out from his nose. It tasted metallic. His nose was bleeding! ¡°F*ck, and you say that you didn¡¯t see anything?¡± Madam Hong was stomping her feet angrily. ¡°Ah! Madam Hong, look at that!¡± Shen Qian''er noticed something and pointed at Chen Hao. Two of them blushed when they saw his erection. ¡°Oh f*ck. I had never seen a pervert like this in my life before. Ah! I¡¯m going mad! Bodyguard! Bodyguard!¡± Shen Qian''er stomped her feet. Chen Hao was helpless. Oh shit. This is so embarrassing! He didn¡¯t mean for his nose to bleed but Shen Qian''er was so pretty and sexy, especially when her bikini was about to fall off. What was under the bikini was faintly discernible. Any normal man wouldn''t be able to calm himself down. A few bodyguards rushed in immediately¡­ Chapter 117 Let’s Go to the Broadcasting Department Chapter 117 Let¡¯s Go to the Broadcasting Department One look at Miss Qian''er¡¯s expression and you would know what she was thinking. Her body¡ªthe body of an A-list female movie star¡ªhad just been seen. All three of her bodyguards were furious. ¡°Hmph, how dare you peep at me! I will make you pay for it today! Where is General Manager Zhao? Give him a call now and gouge this loser¡¯s eyeballs out!¡± Miss Qian''er was pissed. The person before her actually had a nosebleed and an erection after seeing her body. If Young Master Chen were to have such a reaction, then she would be so delighted. However, instead of Young Master Chen, it was this loser instead. ¡°I am afraid that only a loser would act this way¡­¡± Shen Qian''er muttered to herself reluctantly at the moment. Madam Hong was her manager, hence she was more calm and collected at that moment. She took a look at Chen Hao. He did not look like a paparazzi who came here to take pictures of Shen Qian''er. Besides, he was wearing his swimming trunks. It was most likely a coincidence. Hence, she said coldly, ¡°Miss Qian''er, please don¡¯t let things get out of hand for now. An important movie contract ising soon. You have to paint yourself in a positive light. You cannot afford to allow negative news such as this to be publicized. It is not good for your future career development.¡± ¡°But Madam Hong, what should we do? This person peeped at me. I will not rest easy until I teach him a lesson.¡± Shen Qian''er held onto her bathrobe tightly. At this moment, somebody shouted, ¡°Something is happening at the hot spring area. Let¡¯s go and have a look!¡± ¡°Huh? It¡¯s sote already. Could there still be guests at the hot spring? Let us take a look then.¡± Suddenly, the voices of the security guards of the Hot Spring Vi were heard. Madam Hong and Shen Qian''er panicked. If they were discovered, they would make the headlines tomorrow. ¡°Just leave it, Qian''er, let¡¯s go for now. This brat got off easy this time.¡± ¡°Hmph, we can go, but¡­¡± Shen Qian''er¡¯s gaze shifted and without warning, she lifted her leg and kicked in the direction of Chen Hao¡¯s crotch. Chen Hao had fast reflexes. He quickly retreated backward. She did not manage to kick him. On the other hand, because she had put too much force into her kick, she lost her bnce and her legs lifted up even higher. Once again, Chen Hao saw her in all her glory. It was a sight to behold. ¡°Ah!¡± Shen Qian''er nearly went crazy. In the end, she left after Madam Hong persuaded her. The group of bodyguards gave Chen Hao a look of warning before taking their leave. This was just a minor incident. However, it was a feast for Chen Hao¡¯s eyes. When he went back to this room andy on his bed, he could not sleep a wink even after repeatedly tossing and turning in his bed. He even had the impulse to reveal his identity and asked Li Zhenguo to bring Shen Qian''er here so that he could sleep with her. However, when he recalled that Li Zhenguo was stillpiling information for him, he was too embarrassed to ask Li Zhenguo to do such a thing. Chen Hao eventually controlled his impulses. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. He suddenly remembered that Han Siyu had sent him some photos on his other WeChat ID, thus he decided to take a look at them to quench his desires. He logged into his ount. Before he was able to take a look, he was disturbed by Meng Cairu¡¯s continuous stream of messages. ¡°Gosh, Ordinary Guy, today was a tiring day!¡± ¡°Ordinary guy, are you asleep?¡± ¡°Are you asleep? Why do you sleep so early?¡± To be honest, Chen Hao really hated Meng Cairu now. Maybe because he wanted to get back at her for what she did, Chen Hao had a sudden impulse to toy with Meng Cairu. ¡°I am not asleep yet¡­¡± Chen Hao replied/. ¡°Oh you finally replied. Why aren¡¯t you asleep yet? Are you looking for pretty youngdies? Are there many of them beside you?¡± Meng Cairu sent him a shy emoji. ¡°I am thinking of them and I¡¯m thinking of you. Come, send me a picture so that I can see you.¡± Apart from Shen Qian''er¡¯s enticement, Chen Hao wanted to exact his revenge on Meng Cairu as well. That was why he sent that message. He wanted to see how Meng Cairu lookedpared to her usual strict demeanour and disdainful attitude. Ping! Sure enough, the next moment, Meng Cairu had sent the pictures over to him. The moment he took a look, the blood from Chen Hao¡¯s nose nearly gushed out. This was just too much. You could faintly discern her entire figure. It was as if her whole body was exposed in front of Chen Hao. ¡°Do you want to take a look? Ordinary Guy, if you video chat with me, I will let you see whatever you want!¡± Meng Cairu sent him a naughty emoji. F*ck! What is going on today? Chen Hao was just a guy like everyone else, hence he nearly agreed. At this moment, he heard a knock on his door. It was Li Zhenguo who came to see whether he was asleep already or not. Only then did Chen Hao calm down. Chen Hao, Chen Hao, what happened to you? You are such a jerk, scumbag and a loser! Chen Hao scolded himself as he felt that he was turning naughty. He quickly pulled himself together before opening the door. Li Zhenguo came to discuss with Chen Hao about developing the mountains. The data revealed that they could give this a try. It was quitete by the time the discussion ended. Chen Hao did not bother about Meng Cairu anymore. He switched off his mobile phone and went to sleep. The next morning, Chen Hao left Hot Spring Vi and returned to college. He happened to see a youngdy selling flowers in the early morning outside his campus. The roses were lovely. He thought of Su Tongxin. It had been a day since he had looked for her after their argument. Chen Hao wanted to find a good opportunity to clear the air and resolve their misunderstandings. Since he had two periods of free time in the morning and had nothing to do but to stay in campus, Chen Hao thought that he would buy some flowers to give to Su Tongxin and invite her out for a chat. The moment the idea popped into his head, he decided to act on it. Chen Hao bought a bunch of flowers and went straight to the Broadcasting Department. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. Who is that guy? Did hee to confess his love this early in the morning?¡± ¡°Look at him, he is not wearing anything appropriate and yet he darese to our Broadcasting Department to confess his love! Hahaha!¡± ¡°I know, he looks like that poor loser from the Literature Department. His name is Chen Hao. In the past, people often posted pictures of him looking like a poor b*stard. I¡¯ve seen it!¡± ¡°Oh my God, that poor loser Chen Hao? I know him. Isn¡¯t he the guy who sent Durex to his ex- girlfriend? He was quite a sensation at that time!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him alright. How disgusting!¡± The Broadcasting Department was very different. The moment Chen Hao entered, he saw that other than a handful of handsome guys, the rest of the department consisted mostly of beautiful girls. All of them had different styles and a certain elegance to them. The moment Chen Hao entered with his flowers, a lot of girls came out to take a look out of curiosity. Is there yet another handsome guying to their department to confess his love? It wasn¡¯t the first time a pretty girl from their department received a love confession. However, when everybody saw Chen Hao, they all looked disappointed. ¡°Haha, my dear brother, if you want to confess, why don¡¯t you take a look at yourself first?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. How could youe here to confess like this? If you were to seed in your confession, I would jump off this building. I don¡¯t care if I die.¡± Two handsome guys dressed in suits were also holding some flowers in their hands. Theyughed contemptuously at Chen Hao too when they saw the crowd ridiculing him. Chen Hao smiled bitterly. If he knew what he was up against at the Broadcasting Department, then he wouldn¡¯t have shown up with flowers. It was all Ma Xiaonan¡¯s idea. She told him that he could not act like a chauvinistic male in front of women. He needed to learn some tricks. Even though certain girls said that they did not like flowers or bags, it would be good if he could still treat them to a meal. However, if he thought that girls were straightforward, then he would be this close to getting kicked. So, Chen Hao ended up buying roses beforeing here. However, he was surrounded because of that, it was indeed¡­ ¡°Chen Hao, what are you doing here?¡± Just when Chen Hao was in a bind whether to leave or not, a few familiar female voices rang out behind him. When Chen Hao looked back, his eyelids couldn¡¯t help but twitch. The people heading in his direction were none other than Zhao Yifan, Xu Xia, Lin Jiao and the rest of their roommates. Obviously, they were on their way to ss. ¡°Chen Hao, I am asking you something!¡± When Chen Hao did not reply, Xu Xia frowned and repeated herself again. Chapter 118 A Huge Misunderstanding Chapter 118 A Huge Misunderstanding ¡°Say something!¡± Because of Yang Hui, Xu Xia treated Chen Hao like her own family. In addition to that, they were quite close with each other as well. Hence, she asked him in surprise. ¡°Oh, I came here to look for someone and to give them something,¡± Chen Hao stammered. The moment he lifted his head, he came eye-to-eye with the hottest girl amongst the crowd, which happened to be Zhao Yifan. At this moment, Zhao Yifan was blushing as she looked at Chen Hao and the flowers he was holding in his hands. She crossed her fingers back and forth. Just now, Zhao Yifan and her roommates arrived at their department together. The moment they saw Chen Hao, not only was Zhao Yifan surprised, even Lin Jiao and the rest of them were surprised because based on their experience, Chen Hao was an honest person regardless of his economic standing. Unexpectedly, Chen Hao came to their department today. Moreover, Chen Hao wasn¡¯t the same person as he was back then. Ever since Lin Jiao¡¯s ex-boyfriend, Xu Nan, helped Lin Jiao and Zhao Yifan out, he and his cousin Xu Chao ended up beating one of the rich young masters of Jin Ling. In the end, they had taken their revenge in a vicious manner. Zhao Yifan¡¯s family was also implicated in that incident. The matter was only resolved in the hotel when Chen Hao asked General Director Huang to show up. From then onward, Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao have been specting whether Chen Hao was some kind of powerful person. Could he actually be the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling? But there was no way that he was the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling because Chen Hao simply did not have that kind of appearance. However, he was definitely not an ordinary person and he was definitely rich. Hence, Lin Jiao really regretted it. Zhao Yifan was feeling thankful and regretful at the same time. She wanted to find an opportunity to resolve their previous misunderstandings and to start their rtionship anew. However, she had not seen him since that day. Hence, how could she not be surprised to bump into Chen Hao so early in the morning in her department? ¡°Chen Hao, who are you giving these flowers to?¡± Zhao Yifan straightened her hair. Then, she lowered her head and asked him in a whisper. She was so cute and gentle like a littlemb. Could it be that¡­ Chen Hao had changed his mind? After all, Ma Xiaonan, Xu Xia and Yang Hui wanted to set them up previously. Hence, no matter what, they still had some unresolved feelings. In addition to that, Zhao Yifan was sure that Chen Hao did like her in the beginning. As far as she knew, Chen Hao was not in a rtionship with anyone from the Broadcasting Department. Hence, Zhao Yifan¡¯s heart was thumping madly now. ¡°Haha, who else could it be? Yifan, how is he supposed to answer you?¡± Xu Xia pped her hands with joy. Then, she looked at Chen Hao with approval. ¡°Chen Hao, I can see that after you became rich, your EQ has really improved by leaps and bounds. You actually know how to n a surprise, and it¡¯s such a big surprise too. Haha.¡± Yes, today was indeed a surprise. Chen Hao had a hard time answering her question. I¡¯ll be damned! Chen Hao had only wanted to buy a bunch of roses to give to Su Tongxin and then take a walk together. It was as simple as that. Who knew that all the girls in their department would act like that. They rushed over the moment they saw somebody else from another faculty. And now, he actually bumped into Zhao Yifan! It was obvious that he was misunderstood by Xu Xia and Zhao Yifan. Chen Hao was having a headache dealing with all these matters. It was even worse now. A lot of students had gathered by the stairs and Chen Hao and Zhao Yifan were pushed to the center of the circle. They were even recording the scene with their mobile phones. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned! Newssh! Come and take a look quickly. A poor loser from the Literature Department is confessing his love for the stunning beauty Zhao Yifan from the Broadcasting Department!¡± All the girls were in disbelief. Oh my God, who would be attracted to a person like him? He really had the guts to do that. He really was courageous! ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. He actually wants to confess his love for the stunning Zhao Yifan? That¡¯s so gutsy of him.¡± The two guys who were ridiculing Chen Hao were in disbelief as well. At the same time, at the other end of the department, someone said, ¡°Tongxin,e quick, somebody came here to confess again!¡± Su Tongxin was reading her books while propping up her cheeks with her hands. Nobody knew that she was stuck at the same page for quite some time already. At this moment, the excited screams of one of the students woke her up from her daydream. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Tongxin. Let¡¯s take a look.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not interested. I¡¯m not going,¡± Su Tongxin said while frowning. ¡°Haha. Why not? It¡¯s so lively there. I heard that it was a loser from the Literature Department who came here to confess his love for a girl.¡± ¡°What?¡± Su Tongxin¡¯s eyes grew wide as her body began to tremble. The Literature Department? Wasn¡¯t it Chen Hao¡¯s department? Then that loser was¡­ To be honest, although Su Tongxin knew Chen Hao¡¯s true identity, she had always felt that Chen Hao was a loser. She chuckled. However, she still liked him most when he was being silly in front of her. She could never forget his silliness even if she wanted to. So, the moment she heard this, Su Tongxin thought of Chen Hao. Did that stupid man finally get it? Was he here for her? Hence, Su Tongxin stood up immediately, thereby causing her chair to fall over. Then, she ran out. When she went out to take a look, there was indeed a crowd gathering at the staircase. And within the crowd, Chen Hao was seen holding a bunch of fresh flowers. It was really him! Su Tongxin was delighted but she intentionally kept a distance. Her heart was thumping wildly now. ¡°Oh my God, this loser is pursuing Zhao Yifan from our department. Zhao Yifan is such a cold heartless ¡°No way. Don¡¯t be fooled by her coldness, she is actually a b*tch. She really despises the poor and curries favor with the rich.¡± ¡°What? He is pursuing Zhao Yifan?¡± When she overheard the students¡¯ discussions, the smile on Su Tongxin¡¯s face froze. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart and she wanted to cry. ¡°Oh, Tongxin, you¡¯re here too. Yes, this loser came to pursue Zhao Yifan. Look, isn¡¯t that Zhao Yifan right beside him?¡± Su Tongxin was too focused on looking for Chen Hao just now. When she took a closer look, Zhao Yifan was indeed right beside Chen Hao. Su Tongxin gulped. Her face paled immediately. Haha, did you think that Chen Hao came to pursue you? He came to pursue Zhao Yifan, not you. Why am I so stupid? She had always felt that Chen Hao was silly. Hence, no matter what, he would never leave her side and would always spoil her. He would be nice to her and her alone. A few days ago, when Chen Hao was praising another woman, Su Tongxin was indeed jealous. However, when she saw him bing anxious just because of her, she knew that he liked her. The only thing was, he was so silly that he did not confess to her even after she had hinted him a few times already. In short, Su Tongxin had been overthinking thesest two days. She even thought of taking the initiative to find Chen Hao first. Su Tongxin, did you really think that Chen Hao was such a simple-minded person? Do you know who he is? He is the son of one of the richest men on the. A top tier second generation heir! Guys would always be a jerk when they turned rich, let alone Chen Hao, who has no idea how rich he even is! You thought he liked you but in reality he was only toying with you. Haha! Isn¡¯t this the cold hard truth? Chen Hao came to my department to confess his love for another girl in such a mboyant manner. Isn¡¯t this the reality of the situation? Su Tongxin¡¯s eyes were brimming with tears. It turned out that everything she knew was wrong all these while. As for Chen Hao, the situation he was in could be said to be extremely tense. All the girls who were watching the drama unfold directed their gazes at Chen Hao and Zhao Yifan. Xu Xia and the rest of them had retreated to a corner. Chen Hao was utterly shocked. He was at a loss. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. On the other hand, Zhao Yifan was thinking that since Chen Hao had the money and connections, she did feel attracted to him. In that case, why shouldn¡¯t she give this rtionship a chance? Even if Chen Hao had an ugly past and had always been looked down upon by Zhao Yifan, she could still give him another chance. To be honest, Zhao Yifan still looked down upon him even until now as she considered him to be an extremely lucky person. However, since he was rich and he did lend her a helping hand in the past, she could still consider giving him a chance. Hence, Zhao Yifan opened her mouth to speak¡­ Chapter 119 A New Prince Charming in College Chapter 119 A New Prince Charming in College ¡°Alright, Chen Hao, I¡¯ll be your girlfriend,¡± Zhao Yifan said gently after straightening her hair. ¡°Damn! The goddess Zhao Yifan actually said yes to his confession?¡± ¡°What? Did I get it right? Oh my gosh, there are so many rich tycoons in our department who are courting Zhao Yifan. She wasn¡¯t interested in them at all and now she actually bes the girlfriend of this loser?¡± ¡°Does that mean that she prefers losers? I would have pretended to be a loser if I had known this earlier! This is Zhao Yifan¡¯s first love, isn¡¯t it?¡± The boys were wailing while the girls found it unbelievable. They thought that Zhao Yifan was crazy. Chen Hao was rather good-looking, but how could Zhao Yifan, who always had high expectations toward guys, actually had an interest in him? No matter what the others thought, Zhao Yifan had indeed agreed. She then took the flowers from Chen Hao¡¯s hand. Zhao Yifan walked away from Chen Hao coyly and went back to her ss. ¡°This calls for a treat! You should treat us to a meal tonight!¡± Xu Xia and the others were over the moon and pped happily. Lin Jiao was the only one who was frustrated. She red at Chen Hao in fury and left. What do you mean by that, Chen Hao? Don¡¯t you know that I have feelings for you, even when I was dating Xu Nan? Now, you actually confessed to another girl in front of everyone? Lin Jiao¡¯s pride was hurt. Sigh! Chen Hao''s eyes widened and he stood still. He hadn¡¯t recovered from his shock. What was he doing here? He was here to ask Su Tongxin out. Damn! How did I be Zhao Yifan¡¯s boyfriend? F*ck! I didn¡¯t even say a word! How in the world did I be Zhao Yifan¡¯s boyfriend? Actually, Chen Hao wanted to exin himself just now. However, Chen Hao¡¯s mind went nk and he didn¡¯t know what to say when he was surrounded by so many people. He had only been off-guard for a second and that was all it took for the entire atmosphere to change. Since things had happened to this extent, he would be hurting everyone¡¯s pride if he denied that he was here to confess to Zhao Yifan. Moreover, Xu Xia was making a big fuss about them. Chen Hao was in a dilemma where he wanted to exin but he couldn¡¯t. No, I need to talk to Zhao Yifan and make myself clear. I shouldn¡¯t stay here any longer. If Su Tongxin saw this, she would never believe me no matter how I exin myself. Chen Hao scratched his head and turned to leave. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Just as he started to walk away, a girl¡¯s voice rang from behind. He stopped. Chen Hao¡¯s whole body trembled when he heard the voice. It was Su Tongxin. Only then did Chen Hao realize that Su Tongxin had been watching him from the crowd. I¡¯m doomed! She must have seen it! ¡°Tongxin, listen to me! I can exin!¡± Chen Hao quickly said. Chen Hao had indeed liked Zhao Yifan before this because she was very beautiful, but after interacting with her a few times, he had lost interest. The girl that Chen Hao wanted to court the most remained to be Su Tongxin. She was irreceable. However, things had suddenly taken a turn for the worse. He would never get to exin himself now. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Chen Hao. You don¡¯t need to exin yourself. I¡¯ve seen everything! Good for you. I wish you happiness!¡± Su Tongxin stared at Chen Hao and said with a stutter. ¡°Hmph! What a scumbag. He flirted with our Su Tongxin everyday but now he¡¯s courting another girl. You¡¯re just a f*cking loser. Why are you so arrogant? Our poor Tongxin must have been blinded by love!¡± ¡°Bah! What a disgusting scumbag! You¡¯re so sickening!¡± Obviously, Su Tongxin¡¯s roommates knew Chen Hao. They were all scorning and berating Chen Hao and almost wanted to spit at him. ¡°Get lost from our department now! You are shameless!¡± The girls were menacing. ¡°It¡¯s all a misunderstanding! Tongxin, listen to me¡­¡± p! Before Chen Hao could finish his words, Su Tongxin suddenly turned around and gave him a p on his face. It was a loud one. She then gave him a nce to show that she didn¡¯t give a damn about him anymore and left. Chen Hao was stunned. He never thought that this matter would snowball. He couldn¡¯t recall how the others ridiculed him after that. He didn¡¯t even remember how he left the Broadcasting Department. Why did I even care about Zhao Yifan¡¯s feelings? Why did I care about other people¡¯s feelings? Why didn¡¯t I exin myself from the start? If I had exined everything since the beginning, I wouldn¡¯t have messed things up! Chen Hao kept scratching his head in frustration. Meanwhile, Chen Hao received a message from Zhao Yifan. ¡°Chen Hao, Xu Xia and the girls asked us to have dinner togetherter. What¡¯s your n?¡± Chen Hao let out a sigh. He wanted to tell Zhao Yifan then and there that he had no intention of confessing to her nor did he love her. It was all a misunderstanding. But looking at how passionate Zhao Yifan was and how friendly Xu Xia and the girls were, Chen Hao didn¡¯t know how to tell them the truth. Perhaps all Libras wereplicated. ¡°You guys go, I have something else to do. I won¡¯t be joining. im the expense from meter!¡± Chen Hao casually replied to her. He would talk to Zhao Yifan about this matterter. He believed that Zhao Yifan would notice his apathetic tone. ¡°What? What do you mean by ¡®you guys go¡¯? Chen Hao, is it because getting me was too easy?¡± Zhao Yifan sent another message. Chen Hao turned off his phone instantly and wandered on the street in the campus aimlessly. Vroom! Suddenly, he heard the sound of engines. They were resounding. Following that, five dazzling Ferrari sports cars drove into the campus, maising the whole campus instantly. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. At the same time, one of the luxury cars passed by Chen Hao. As Chen Hao wasn¡¯t paying attention, he was almost knocked over by the car. He stumbled backward and fell on the ground as he had lost his bnce. ¡°Ah! Luxury cars! There are so many of them! They are all Ferraris!¡± ¡°Oh my god, which young master has arrived? Damn, I would give anything to get a chance to sit in a Ferrari! I don¡¯t care if I have to sleep with him!¡± ¡°He¡¯s certainly a rich young master. Who are they picking up?¡± These five sports cars managed to attract half of the girls in the campus in just a while. There were also a lot of guys who came to have a look. In short, there were a lot of people on the street discussing among themselves, full of admiration on their faces. Meanwhile, a male student jumped out of the car. He seemed really aggressive. ¡°Damn, are you f*cking blind? Don¡¯t you know how to dodge our Young Master Zhao¡¯s car? We should have ran you over!¡± he scolded Chen Hao. This student looked handsome with his red-colored hair. Chen Hao usually didn¡¯t wear shy clothes. People would know that he was an honest person with just one look. Naturally, this rich guy didn¡¯t care much about him. ¡°Oh, Su Jie, look at him. Just one look and we know that he¡¯s a nerd. You don¡¯t have to be angry with this kind of person.¡± ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s right, Su Jie. Don¡¯t shout because your loud voice is going to scare him to death! Hahaha!¡± There were two girls dressed in expensive clothes in the car. They had gotten out and were clinging onto Su Jie¡¯s arms, which made them feel proud. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll take care of himter! Let¡¯s go and see Young Master Zhao!¡± Su Jie raised an eyebrow, walked to one of the cars in the middle respectfully and opened the door. ¡°Young Master Zhao?¡± ¡°Who is Young Master Zhao? Damn, Su Jie looks so handsome and he¡¯s so overbearing. The person in the car must be really important since he is so polite!¡± ¡°I know who he is! Do you guys know that Jin Ling Commercial Group has changed their General Manager? The new General Manager¡¯s surname is Zhao. Don¡¯t tell me that this Young Master Zhao is¡­ Oh my god!¡± Some of the girls were so excited that their ovaries almost exploded. ¡°Yes, I heard that the son of General Manager Zhao has transferred to this college!¡± Some of the girls were gossiping loudly. Everyone in Jin Ling Commercial Street knew that Young Master Chen was impressive, but his existence was just a legend. He was iparable to Young Master Zhao, who could be seen and touched in real life! In short, they might not be able to get Young Master Chen, but they might be able to get the attention of Young Master Zhao if they worked hard enough! After all, love worked in mysterious ways. Meanwhile, Su Jie ced his hand on the top edge of the car to prevent the young master from hitting his head. The young master got out of the car gradually from his driver¡¯s seat. At this moment, the atmosphere of the whole campus tensed up¡­ Chapter 120 He Bought A Mountain Chapter 120 He Bought A Mountain As soon as the guy straightened his back, the whole campus was in an uproar! ¡°Oh my god, he¡¯s handsome! He is so handsome!¡± Some girls cheered and jumped. The guy was wearing sunsses. He was indeed quite cool and handsome! He also had a very strong aura. At present, looking at all the worshiping eyes around him, he smirked and said, ¡°Hello, everyone. Actually, I nned to hold a weing conference in the college and meet all of you today, but since everyone is here, let me introduce myself in advance. Ie from the Southern Region and studied at Nan Yang College. All of you may have seen the news. My father Zhao Zixing will take over the position of General Manager in Jin Ling Commercial Group from now on. Therefore, I was also transferred to Jin Ling College to continue my studies!¡± ¡°Of course, I''m not the typical domineering rich second generation although I¡¯m wealthy. Haha, whoever wants to visit Jin Ling Commercial Street in the future, just mention my name. My name is Zhao Shan, as in the Sun, but with an extra ''h''." Then, Zhao Shan threw his sses onto the ground. He looked so powerful. ¡°My goodness, he¡¯s so handsome. Is this Young Master Zhao? Jin Ling Commercial Street will be managed by their family from now on? Oh my God!¡± ¡°Mr. Zhao, I love you, I want to be your wife!¡± ¡°Mr. Zhao, I want to bear your child!¡± Some girls shouted shamelessly! Zhao Shan and some of his followers behind him allughed bitterly and shook their heads. Aye, I''m used to it. Wherever I go, I''ll be pursued by these girls. I''m really tired! ¡°Let''s go and have a look at our Managerial Economics Department¡¯s ssroom !¡± Zhao Shan climbed into his car. Su Jie, who was at the front of the car, pointed his middle finger at Chen Hao, who was getting up. ¡°Motherf*cker, I¡¯ll run you over next time if you don¡¯t pay attention!¡± After that, the cars whizzed away amidst the girls¡¯ screams. So, he was Zhao Zixing''s son. Why was he so wild? Chen Hao was almost hit. He was also a little angry but if he were to take revenge, his identity would be exposed. It was not worth it. Besides, he is Zixing''s son. I have to give him some respect. At present, Chen Hao just wanted to leave. A lot of things happened today and it made Chen Hao dejected. ¡°Haha, this loser almost got hit just now!¡± ¡°Oh, yes. But if he was hit, he wouldn¡¯t be able to afford to pay for the damages!¡± ¡°Tell me about it. Each of us has one shoulder and one head, but how can the difference between two people be this big? Look at the obvious contrast between Zhao Shao and this loser!¡± ¡°Forget about it, let''s not talk about him. Let¡¯s go and see what Young Master Zhao is doing in the Managerial Economics Department!¡± A few girls began to walk toward the Managerial Economics Department. When they passed by Chen Hao, they all tutted with disapproval. Chen Hao walked to the garden sadly and calmed down. He was thinking about Su Tongxin. At this time, Su Ziyue called him. ¡°Chen Hao, my leave was approved. I can go to Yunmeng Mountain with you!¡± That big mountain was called Yunmeng Mountain. Chen Hao and Su Ziyue had both agreed to go there to have a look today after her leave was approved. ¡°Alright, wait a moment. I''ll call Li Zhenguo. Once he haspiled all the information, let''s go together!¡± Phew! After the phone call, Chen took a long breath. I will treat the trip to Yunmeng Mountain today as a break. I''ve been upset for the whole day! After he had made an appointment with Li Zhenguo, Chen Hao drove to pick up Su Ziyue. They then headed to the vige at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain located outside the suburb of Jin Ling. As Li Zhenguo had already given the vigers a call in advance, the leaders of the vige were waiting for him by the time they reached. To be honest, Yunmeng Vige was far away from the city and transportation was not very convenient. So, not many businesses chose to invest in their development. Now, it was good to hear that a big boss wasing to invest and develop their vige. It had attracted considerable attention from the local leaders. As for Chen Hao, this was also the first time he had signed a development contract by himself. He was a bit nervous. However, standing at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, he could feel that the ce was lush and the air was very fresh. While looking at the data collected by Li Zhenguo, he saw there werekes and streams running down the mountain which were very beautiful and refreshing. Therefore, Chen Hao immediately decided to develop Yunmeng Mountain. The specifics of the contracts were discussed by Li Zhenguo. This was the first time in history that a whole mountain was contracted for development. 500 million was needed to contract the whole mountain! In addition to the 200 million that his sister gave him, he had spent 300 million from his own pocket. But the whole mountain was worth that amount of money no matter how he calcted it. Chen Hao then signed the contract. After that, there were also some discussions with the leaders of the vige. Chen Hao left the matter to Li Zhenguo and brought Su Ziyue out from the meetings. He wanted her to bring him around the foot of the mountain. Naturally, Su Ziyue was very familiar with the ce. First, she took Chen Hao to a famous oldke called Jingshan Lake in Yunmeng Mountain. They took a stroll around theke. Looking at the clearke, Chen Hao¡¯s mood improved a lot. Just as he sat down on the bank, he heard some noiseing from behind. ¡°Damn, Ding Hao. I never thought that your hometown was so beautiful! How about having a pic here in the evening?¡± ¡°Sure! This ce is like a paradise. Aye, Ding Hao, if we didn¡¯t need to work in Jin Ling, I would have married you, hahaha!¡± There were around ten young men and women walking toward the Jingshan Lake while talking and They were talking about how they yearned for nature but one could tell that they were money-minded. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°To have a pic would be a bit difficult. Something big is happening in Yunmeng Mountain, so pics and other activities are forbidden since yesterday! But since all of you wanted to have a pic, I''ll take the risk. Also, we must clean up all the charcoal fire before we leave and make sure the fire is put out!¡± the guy named Ding Hao said. ¡°Hurray! Let¡¯s have a pic and barbecue here! Let¡¯s bring lots of beer too. We won''t go back without getting drunk!¡± Everyone cheered. ¡°By the way, Ding Hao, just now you said something important is happening in Yunmeng Vige. What''s the deal? You''ve been so mysterious since the morning. Spill the beans!¡± Others were beginning to wonder. ¡°Haha, I can''t reveal too much. My father told me about it and reminded me not to spread it around. But since you all want to know, I will just tell you that our Yunmeng Mountain is going to be developed. Hahaha, they are signing a contract today. A big boss has paid a lot of money to contract the mountain!¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone was shocked. They started to scream. If so, then Ding Hao would have the chance to inherit the valuable properties from his dad in the future! They couldn¡¯t quite believe it. They were still bantering when they reached Chen Hao. As for Chen Hao, he felt that some of them sounded familiar when he heard their voices. Subconsciously, he turned to have a look. As soon as he saw them, Chen Hao''s eyelids twitched. Why are Chen Lin, Li Shihan and the others here? Chapter 121 A Campfire Picnic Chapter 121 A Campfire Pic ¡°Chen Hao?¡± When Chen Lin and Li Shihan dropped by along with the others, they spotted Chen Hao as well as Su Ziyue who was standing beside him. Today was the day that Chen Lin and Li Shihan had promised each other that they would go on a vacation since they would be graduating soon. After all, they would not have the time to do so after entering society as working adults. Some time ago, they heard from Ding Hao, their high school alumni, describing how beautiful his hometown was and he invited everybody over to hang out. Since they were free now, they had invited their best friends over to join them on this trip. However, they did not expect to bump into Chen Hao here. ¡°Chen Lin, do you know this guy?¡± several girls asked while frowning. When they saw Chen Hao¡¯s appearance, they felt that he was an utter disgrace. Furthermore, the girl standing beside him looked to be of lower ss than he was. This made some of the girls pout with disdain. ¡°Haha, of course we know each other. He was my high school ssmate whom I was telling you about yesterday. Haha, trouble really does follow him wherever he goes.¡± Chen Lin smiled with contempt. During the previous high school gathering, Chen Lin was very surprised that Chen Hao was actually acquainted with Zhou Ze, who was also known as Young Master Zhou. Everybody thought that Chen Hao had hit the jackpot. However, after a multifaceted investigation, they concluded that it was nothing worth fussing about. That was because they had asked a friend to ask around and they found out that Young Master Zhou had already forgotten about Chen Hao in the blink of an eye. When somebody asked Young Master Zhou whether he knew Chen Hao or not, he immediately replied that he did not have any idea who this person was. Haha! Anyway, rumors had it that Young Master Zhou was a whimsical person. He might have taken an interest in Chen Hao that day in the restaurant and that must have been the reason why he acted the way he did. However, it was indeed terrifying. Those who did not know this would have regretted ridiculing Chen Hao. Hence, Chen Lin was in a good mood now. In fact, she would feel even better if she could ridicule him a few more times today. ¡°Chen Hao, is this your girlfriend?¡± Li Shihan couldn¡¯t help but ask. However, she gently shook her head following her question. As the saying went, ¡®Birds of the same feather flock together¡¯. A poor guy would naturally find a woman of the same status to be his girlfriend. Judging by their appearances, both of them were just disgraceful. Li Shihan had the urge tough when she recalled that she was once in an ambiguous rtionship with him in the past. ¡°No, she is my best friend,¡± said Chen Hao casually. ¡°I¡¯ll say. Although Su Ziyue is poor, she is still pretty good looking. I wouldn''t think that she¡¯d be a great match for this poor loser,¡± Ding Hao chimed in coldly at this moment. It was obvious that he knew Su Ziyue. After all, Su Ziyue¡¯s foster parents stayed in Yun Meng Vige. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Ding Hao, are you acquainted with Su Ziyue?¡± ¡°Of course, let me tell you something about her¡­¡± Ding Hao lowered his voice and started whispering something to the girls. After listening to it, their gazes turned even more disdainful when they looked at her. Su Ziyue knew that Ding Hao was telling them that she was an orphan and an abandoned child. Her self-esteem was hurt then, however she could only lower her head and grip the edge of her clothes tightly. At that moment, Chen Hao grabbed her wrist and told her that he had her back. ¡°Su Ziyue, let¡¯s go back!¡± Chen Hao had enough of his high school ssmates. He did not want to say anything further and decided to leave. ¡°Oh my, someone is pissed. Please don¡¯t leave. Since you guys are already here, why don¡¯t you help yourself to some freemb kebabs. You guys have probably not tasted it before right? Haha, since we''re currently short-handed, why don¡¯t you guys stay back and help us skewer those meat?¡± Chen Lin said while sneering. It was actually a lightbulb moment for her as she thought, Since there were two freeborers here, why not put them to good use? Chen Hao wanted to ignore them. ¡°Su Ziyue, how dare you walk away?! Stay back with Chen Hao. Don¡¯t you forget that the repair works done on the road a few years ago would have destroyed your foster parents¡¯ graves if it weren¡¯t for my father. Here I am treating you to a meal and in return, I just need you to help skewer some meat, yet you¡¯re unwilling to do that?¡± Ding Hao said in a frivolous manner. He was a reserved person in the past, and in the eyes of others, he was considered a person of lower status. However, everything was different now. He was a rich second generation heir who inherited his fortune after his family¡¯s home was torn down to make way for new development. Furthermore, his worth had increased exponentially, and thus, he was currently the center of everybody¡¯s attention. It was obvious that Ding Hao¡¯s attempt at taking the moral high ground to extort Su Ziyue was really effective. Su Ziyue stopped in her tracks and whispered, ¡°Chen Hao, why don¡¯t you leave first? I''ll stay back to help them skewer the meats.¡± Chen Hao had already told Su Ziyue his real identity, and he wanted her to keep it a secret for him, which was why Su Ziyue knew that Chen Hao would never be able to do such menialbor. Besides, how could Chen Hao be asked to wait upon people like them? Hence, she decided to stay back herself. On the other hand, when Chen Hao saw that Su Ziyue did not want to leave, he felt embarrassed to leave as well. Sigh! If they want someone to skewer their meats, then so be it. I could apany Su Ziyue while I am at it. Eventually, he made the decision to stay back. He gave Li Zhenguo a call to exin his situation and ask him to go back whenever he was done with his work. Since they had found some manual help, Ding Hao immediately made a call to order some mutton. Furthermore, he also ordered somebody to bring over the barbecue stove, a few dozen crates of beer and much more. Thekeside campfire pic had officially started. Chen Hao and Su Ziyue slogged for several hours, only then did they manage to finish skewering all the mutton. ¡°Here you go. I shall give you 50 sticks of mutton as a reward. Take a small stove to a corner and grill them by yourself.¡± Chen Lin tossed Chen Hao a handful of skewers. Then, she went back to the campfire to chat with the others. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t have asked for more. However, at this moment, a gasp of shock reverberated through the crowd. ¡°What? Shihan, you want to break up with Ma Fei? Are you for real?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. In fact, we¡¯ve been quarreling quite frequently these past two days. After giving it some thought, I think we are not suitable for each other. I have decided that I will break up with him tonight. In addition to that, I am embarrassed to say that Ma Fei had always been intimate with other girls.¡± Li Shihan said in an aggrieved manner. ¡°Oh my God! He¡¯s such a jerk. He seemed to love you on the surface, but he actually does these things behind your back. How disgusting is that? You have done the right thing by breaking up with him,¡± some of the girls responded loudly. ¡°I second that decision. If Ma Fei was such a jerk, then Shihan was right to break up with him. There still are many good guys in the world and they are far richer and more handsome than him!¡± said Chen Lin. Li Shihan straightened her hair while nodding her head. To be honest, after the high school gathering, when Li Shihan saw Ma Fei¡¯s pathetic attitude in front of Zhou Ze, she had already lost all her love for him. Haha! She always thought that as long as a guy treated her well and had ambitions, along with a family background that wasn¡¯t too bad, it was enough for her. However, she was just too naive to think that. Ma Fei was nothing in front of a true rich second generation heir. At most, he would just be an employee. Take Chen Hao as an example. Just look at him. Even if he was a hardworking and a studious person, what good did it do for him? In the end, he was still another ordinary person. That was the reason why Li Shihan¡¯s attitude started to change gradually. ¡°Shihan, I considered you as my friend since this is not the first time we have met each other. So, let me give you a piece of advice, as the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new. We have to look forward to our future,¡± Ding Hao added at this moment. Li Shihan lifted her head to look at Ding Hao. Then, she straightened her hair again and nodded her head in agreement. She even gave him a smile to show that she would do her best. Several astute students who were present at the scene seemed to sense something else. Apparently, they felt that Li Shihan was slightly attracted to Ding Hao, and Ding Hao obviously had feelings for her. They could see the lovey-dovey gazes the two were exchanging just now. If you think about it, Ding Hao became a rich second generation heir due to the development project. Even though Ma Fei was an exceptional person, he still relied on other people to make a living. Therefore, Ding Hao would still be a better choice than him. So, how could a person like Chen Lin miss out on this? At that moment, her eyebrows knitted together as the feelings of jealousy washed over her. Ding Hao was her ssmate. And she wasn¡¯t selfish in introducing her male friends to her best friend, Li Shihan as she already had Ma Fei as her boyfriend. However now, after knowing that Ding Hao had met with some recent windfall, Chen Lin had something else in mind. But she never expected that despite her carefully nned arrangements, she had unintentionally brought Li Shihan and Ding Hao together. Chen Lin felt depressed because of that. Just then, Chen Hao decided toe over to get some more skewers for the barbeque. Since Chen Lin had nowhere else to release her anger, she roared at Chen Hao, ¡°Is eating the only thing you know?! I hope you die of gluttony! You sick moron!¡± Chapter 122 I Came Here Today to Spend My Money Chapter 122 I Came Here Today to Spend My Money Chen Lin was jealous. She was currently in a bad mood, so much so that the moment she saw Chen Hao walking toward her, she felt that he was being an eyesore. Usually, she would still be able to preserve a modest bit of decorum. However, she was so furious now that she started spouting ridicules at Chen Hao. In short, she spat quite a lot of nasty things about him in front of everyone. Her anger gradually subsided after everybody took turns persuading her to calm down. To be frank, all Chen Hao really wanted to do right then was to give her a huge p across the face. He was fine with her continuous mockery, but now she even had the audacity to direct her rage at him! How dared she look down upon him with such contempt? ¡°It¡¯s ok, Chen Lin, you don¡¯t have to waste your energy to yell at him. If he wants to eat, just let him be. You should be more aware of your attitude since you will have a secure job in the future as a teacher,¡± said Ding Hao with a smile at this moment. Chen Lin¡¯s temper only dissipatedpletely after Ding Hao came over to persuade her. ¡°Hmph! I really hate this person everytime I see him. You are definitely better than him, Ding Hao. You were quite poor in the past, but you are now a rich second generation heir due to the development project. You wouldn¡¯t forget about your old friends after meeting new ones right? Especially me?¡± Chen Lin leaned in towards Ding Hao. ¡°How could I ever forget? No matter what happens in the future, you will always be my best friend.¡± Ding Haoughed heartily. His words upset Li Shihan who was sitting beside him. In fact, everyone here could tell that the atmosphere wasn¡¯t right tonight. It seemed that Chen Lin and Li Shihan were trading barbs with each other. Both of them were pulling out all the stops in their fight over Ding Hao. Since Ding Hao¡¯s family¡¯s property was going to be developed soon, he would definitely get a few houses under his name no matter what. In the worst case scenario, he would still acquire approximately a few million and that would be enough for him to live out the rest of his life without any worries. No wonder the two pretty girls were fighting against each other. ¡°Chen Hao,e here and take a seat. I have finished grilling the meat.¡± Su Ziyue sensibly pulled Chen Hao aside after seeing Chen Hao¡¯s balled up fist and his rising temper. It was because of Su Ziyue¡¯s persuasion that caused Chen Hao not to explode there and then. Hah! It¡¯s fine that you look down upon me now. Just wait for the day that I announce my true identity. I wonder how your faces would look like then, Chen Lin and Li Shihan? Would they regret their actions today? Heughed bitterly. Chen Hao did not bother about them anymore and left with Su Ziyue to enjoy the scenery by the Tonight, Ding Hao had arranged for everyone to stay in the vige¡¯s guesthouse. Chen Hao noticed that it was getting quitete. In addition to that, Su Ziyue looked as if she wanted to stay here for the night. She must have missed the times she spent with her foster parents. Chen Hao waited until Chen Lin and the rest of them entered their rooms before arranging for another two rooms, one for him and the other for Su Ziyue. In short, other than the incident with Chen Lin, Chen Hao found the day to be quite rxing. He really hoped that the development of the mountains could be finished quickly so that he could live on top of the mountains. The night passed silently. Early the next morning, Chen Hao drove Su Ziyue down the hill since he did not want to bump into Chen Lin and the rest. As he was afraid that if he did, he would not be able to control his impulses to beat them up. When he arrived at a certain ce, Chen Hao suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped his car. Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t I bring you to a Michelin-starred restaurant for a meal since Content held by N?velDrama.Org. there is still some time before my ss and your next work shift?¡± Chen Hao pointed to a Michelin-Starred restaurant just by the roadside. ¡°Huh? Chen Hao, I heard my colleagues saying that a Michelin-starred restaurant is a very expensive ce to dine in. Only rich people like you can afford to enter. I am not going in.¡± Su Ziyue lowered her head and shook it vigorously. Chen Hao smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you can even eat there everyday if you want to.¡± Ever since he became wealthy, Chen Hao spoke with a firmer tonepared to before. Besides, he was speaking the truth! Although a Michelin-starred restaurant was expensive, he could eat there everyday if he wanted to. Since Su Ziyue kept refusing his suggestion, Chen Hao decided to reserve a good seat online instead. In the end, Chen Hao still brought Su Ziyue to the Michelin-starred restaurant. ¡°Good morning, sir. May I know how many people would be joining you?¡± After they entered, a waitress came over with a smile. ¡°A table for two please. I have already made reservations,¡± said Chen Hao casually. The waitress frowned because no matter how she looked at it, these two people did not look like they could afford to eat in a Michelin-starred restaurant. However, due to her professionalism, she only nodded her head politely. Just when she wanted to ask Chen Hao which seat he had reserved, a couple came over. The girl was obviously stunned the moment she saw Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, is that really you? Did you actuallye to a Michelin-starred restaurant?¡± ¡°Huh? Wang Xiaoti?¡± Chen Hao was also surprised to see the beautifully dressed Wang Xiaoti in a tight fitted ck dress. Chen Hao vaguely recalled that during Han Siyu¡¯s celebration party, this crazy woman actually sshed a ss of water on his face for touching her mobile phone. He was so mad at that time that he wanted to take his revenge on her. However, this crazy woman ran away so swiftly that the moment he came out, she was nowhere to be seen. Chen Hao was seething with hatred these past few days. No one expected that they would actually bump into each other in the Michelin-starred restaurant so early in the morning. ¡°Hmph, how dare a person like you call me by my stage name?! It¡¯s so unexpected that a loser like you would actuallye to a ce like this. Oh my, you even found yourself a girlfriend.¡± Wang Lina said with contempt when she saw the girl next to Chen Hao. ¡°Lina, do you know these two people?¡± The tall handsome guy who was standing beside Wang Lina was looking at them coldly at this moment. ¡°Of course I know them. This is the poor loser from Han Siyu¡¯s ss. Young Master Lee, didn¡¯t you say that a Michelin-starred restaurant was the most expensive restaurant in Jin Ling? Then, how could these two people enter here? Just look at their appearances.¡± Wang Xiaoti grabbed and shook his forearm impatiently. Initially, she was eating away happily in the Michelin-starred restaurant as this was a very ssy ce to be in. Women were indeed vain creatures. Especially since the both of them had the window seat where they could be seen by passers-by on the streets. Wang Xiaoti would feel thrills whenever they''d throw them a look of admiration. By the way, speaking of Young Master Lee, he deserved a brief introduction. Young Master Lee was a student of Jiang Nan College and a second generation heir as well. He fell in love with Wang Xiaoti through her live streaming and gave her 20,000 that night itself, and now Wang Xiaoti considered him as her brother and potential love interest. They were initially happily enjoying their meal. However, after a trip to the washroom, they unexpectedly bumped into this loser. How shameful was that?! ¡°Haha, don¡¯t be impatient, Xiaoti. As you mentioned just now, they most likely came here to work. I mean, how would they even afford a meal here?¡± Young Master Lee quickly consoled her. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t care. Anyway, I do not wish to see this person here anymore. How disgusting it is to meet a person like that so early in the morning. You better tell your managerter that they should hire someone ssier even if it was just their service crews. If not, rich people like us will note here to have meals anymore.¡± Wang Xiaoti acted coquettishly in front of Young Master Lee while telling off the waitress standing beside Chen Hao in a cold manner. ¡°Huh? Miss Wang, they are not part of our service crews. I think they are here as our customers.¡± The waitress was trying to butter up Wang Xiaoti and Young Master Lee at this point. This was because she looked down upon Chen Hao from the very beginning, hence she was not careful with her manner of speaking. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. He¡¯s not a waiter?¡± Wang Xiaoti was stunned. Chen Hao had enough of it. At this moment, he red coldly at the waitress and said, ¡°Are you done speaking? Where is the seat I reserved? Bring me there now! I came here specifically today to taste the food served here!¡± Chapter 123 I Could Simply Prove You Wrong Chapter 123 I Could Simply Prove You Wrong ¡°Sir, I¡¯m really sorry to tell you that our restaurant¡¯s prices are a little high¡­ look¡­¡± the waitress said apologetically. She wasn¡¯t foolish enough to offend a guest like Wang Xiaoti because of such a person. ¡°Is it?¡± Chen Hao forced a slight smile. He then took out his phone and showed it to the waitress, the screen disying his reservation booking that he had done online for VIP seats. The waitress¡¯s expression tensed when she looked at the phone screen. The reservation was actually for VIP seats. She knew that she would get at least 2,000 inmission if she served a VIP guest. It was because there was even a special violin performance for the VIP guests as they enjoyed their meals. Immediately, her expression changed drastically, from contemptuous to enthusiastic as she said, ¡°Sir, this way please!¡± After bowing, the waitress led Chen Hao to an area which was very different from the ordinary sitting area. After that, a violinist in a suit came to their table with a violin. Wang Xiaoti was almost dumbfounded by the scene. To be able to enjoy her meal by the window had made her feel vain enough, she thought. But now, this loser, Chen Hao, was a VIP guest, enjoying this kind of first-ss service. Where does this poor loser Chen Hao get his money from? Wang Xiaoti was puzzled. ¡°Chen Hao, how much money do you actually have? Are you sure you want to spend it this way? Haha, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re here to act cool just to court a girl.¡± Scoffs crossed Wang Xiaoti¡¯s face as she mocked him. Chen Hao only ignored her. He was toozy to bother about this woman. She still didn¡¯t want to ept the truth after he had used his actions to prove her wrong. ¡°Sir, do you want to buy some flowers? These are Damascus roses from the beautiful Bulgaria. Although it¡¯s expensive, it¡¯s worthy of your tastes. How about buying a bouquet for your lover?¡± Just then, a beautiful foreign waitress pushed a flower cart carefully from table to table. The fragrance of the flowers wafted behind her as she passed. All the customers were attracted by the color and fragrance of those roses. ¡°It¡¯s Damascus roses! It¡¯s the most famous rose in the world. I have always wanted to have a bouquet of it. Young Master Li, can you buy me a bouquet of the roses?¡± When Wang Xiaoti saw the romantic roses, she moved her gaze away from Chen Hao. She couldn¡¯t stop staring at the flower cart. ¡°Alright. Since you like it so much, I¡¯ll buy whatever you want.¡± Young Master Li shook the gold watch on his wrist and took a bouquet of the roses from the flower cart. There were around thirty stalks in the bouquet and they gave off a nice fragrance. ¡°How much is this bouquet?¡± Young Master Li asked. ¡°Thank you sir. You really have good taste. This bouquet matches your beautiful girlfriend perfectly!¡± the pretty waitress quickly said with a smile. ¡°All right, how much is it?¡± Young Master Li felt proud when he noticed that everyone in the Michelin restaurant was looking at him in admiration. He took out his wallet and asked, ¡°There are thirty-six roses in this bouquet. It costs only 72,000, sir!¡± ¡°What?¡± As his hands trembled, Young Master Li dropped his wallet on the ground. He stared at her and questioned. He heard that a bouquet of roses could cost around 20,000 to 30,000. But it was the first time he heard of a bouquet that actually cost around 70,000 to 80,000. He was dumbfounded. ¡°Are you alright, Young Master Li? Damascus roses are specially nted for the firstdy of certain countries. The petals are silky smooth, and these roses have been cultivated professionally before nting, thus they can be kept fresh for almost three months. It¡¯s absolutely worth it for 70,000!¡± Seeing how Young Master Li was startled by the price, Wang Xiaoti pleaded as she badly wanted the roses. The pretty waitress hurriedly nodded her head and said, ¡°Sir, your girlfriend must be an expert. She¡¯s right! Do you want to pay by card or cash?¡± ¡°Cough, I think I don¡¯t need these. I just remembered that I have already ordered another bouquet of Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. roses for Xiaoti!¡± Li Shao¡¯s lips twitched and he ced the roses back on the cart. Wang Xiaoti was disappointed, especially with so many people staring andughing at them. It made Wang Xiaoti feel embarrassed. In fact, she took great pride inparing with others. She thought she had finally found a catch. Although Young Master Li was iparable to the Ordinary Guy, he was considered rich too. Wang Xiaoti thought she finally could enjoy the life of being rich and pampered. However, looking at Young Master Li now, it was obviously not the case. As for Young Master Li, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to spend around 20,000 to impress girls. However he wouldn¡¯t be able to spend more than that, let alone spending around 80,000 for a bouquet of roses. Feeling dejected, Wang Xiaoti tried to avoid the mocking gazes from the customers in the restaurant. As she turned her head to the side, she happened to see Chen Haoughing at her direction. He wasughing while talking to his ugly girlfriend. Wang Xiaoti hit the roof at once. ¡°Damn it! Chen Hao, what are youughing at?¡± Wang Xiaoti stood up and yelled while pointing at Chen Hao who was sitting at the VIP seat. Loser, what are youughing at? You¡¯re just pretending to be cool sitting at the VIP seats. How dare youugh at me? ¡°Hm? Since when did Iugh at you? I¡¯m looking at the flowers. Does it bother you that much?¡± Chen Hao replied in a displeased manner. Chen Hao had seen that Su Ziyue was fascinated by the flowers, and he was asking her which flowers she wanted. He never thought that he would be scolded by Wang Xiaoti because of this. ¡°My god, you¡¯re looking at the flowers? Do you think that you could buy it?¡± Wang Xiaoti spoke sarcastically. Chen Hao shook his head without saying a word. Instead, he snapped his fingers to signal the waitress who was selling the flowers toe to him. The waitress pushed the flower cart in front of Chen Hao with a smile. ¡°How many flowers are here in total?¡± ¡°Huh? Sir, are you asking how many flowers there are in the whole cart?¡± The pretty waitress was stunned for a while and answered in a hurry. ¡°There are a total 1001 stalks of roses here, sir!¡± ¡°1001 stalks, which means that they cost around 200,000 right?¡± ¡°Yes, sir. Sir¡­What do you want to do with them?¡± The waitress gaped, her eyes wide in astonishment. Su Ziyue realized what Chen Hao wanted to do. She had been staring at the Damascus roses since just now. She remembered seeing these flowers in a textbook when she was young. She was enchanted by the flowers as she didn¡¯t expect to see the amazing Damascus roses in real life today. Chen Hao must have noticed that I am fond of these flowers and intends to buy them. It was toote when she wanted to stop him from doing so. Chen Hao had already handed over his card and said nonchntly, ¡°I¡¯ll take all the flowers. I¡¯ll pay by card.¡± ¡°What?¡± The waitress was bbergasted when she heard that Chen Hao wanted all of them. Wang Xiaoti gulped loudly. She felt as if she was pped. No way! What is this loser trying to do? I¡¯m sure that he¡¯s just putting on an act. Does he have that much money? However, the sound of a sessful transaction after swiping his card had proven that Wang Xiaoti was absolutely wrong. She felt like she had received countless ps on her face. 200,000! Oh my God, Chen Hao actually has more than 200,000, and he couldn¡¯t care less about spending it at all? ¡°I¡¯ll help you to bring the flowers back and decorate your house beautifully!¡± Chen Hao took no notice of Wang Xiaoti¡¯s shocked expression and kept talking with Su Ziyue with a smile instead. After finishing their meal, they left straight away, they didn¡¯t look at Wang Xiaoti at all. Chen Hao¡¯s disregard for her made Wang Xiaoti feel extremely hurt. Oh my gosh, the one whom I have been looking down on is actually so rich! Ah! No way, I must figure it out! Wang Xiaoti pursued him. However, the only thing that she could see was a familiar Lamborghini leaving. Where was Chen Hao and that girl apanying him? Is it that luxury car? My God, the owner of the luxury car has finally driven it. It means that the mysterious young master was here just now! Argh! I should havee out earlier. I might get to know the identity of this young master if I were here earlier! Wang Xiaoti stamped her foot furiously as she missed the chance of getting to know the young master. But¡­ Something crossed her mind at the moment and for a moment Wang Xiaoti was stunned. Wait a minute, where is Chen Hao? Chapter 124 Jiang Weiwei Had Completely Changed Chapter 124 Jiang Weiwei Had Completely Changed As soon as she came out, she saw the Lamborghini leave. Chen Hao was gone. Chen Hao shouldn¡¯t have gone far. Does that mean¡­ Shh! I dare not think about it anymore! Wang Xiaoti inhaled sharply, Does that mean Chen Hao is the owner of the Lamborghini? It reminds me of the first time I met Chen Hao. At that time, he cut watermelon on the car bo without a care. And now, both Chen Hao and this car appeared here at the same time! What was more, Wang Xiaoti saw Chen Hao¡¯svish manner with her own eyes just now. He didn¡¯t even hesitate when he spent 200,000! Argh! If Chen Hao is the owner of the Lamborghini, he should be very wealthy! Wang Xiaoti could hardly stand straight. This is not real, absolutely not! After dropping Su Ziyue, Chen Hao drove back to college. He drove his car to the remote area in the park where he would usually park. As soon as he locked his car, a girl appeared from the bushes and startled Chen Hao. ¡°Hello, Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Oh dear! What¡¯re you doing?¡± Chen Hao quickly stepped back in fright. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t believe his eyes when he finally recognized the person in front of him. The girl in front of him was Jiang Weiwei. ¡°Haha, Young Master Chen, I¡¯ve been waiting for you. I knew that you would park your car here!¡± ¡°Whoa whoa, Chen Hao, you¡¯re amazing! I didn¡¯t expect that this car really belongs to you! You¡¯re so mean. Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier that this is your car? I even misunderstood youst time!¡± Jiang Weiwei and her family bumped into Chen Hao when he went to meet Zheng Yue¡¯s parents as her fake boyfriend. Since then, Jiang Weiwei had known that the luxury car belonged to Chen Hao. What everyone might not know was Jiang Weiwei couldn¡¯t sleep at all after going back to her room that night. All she could think of was Chen Hao. And all the things that happened between Chen Hao and her in the past. Before this, Chen Hao was a poor loser who always got bullied by her. He did everything that she asked him to do. In her eyes, Chen Hao was worse than a dog. But now, she wondered since when she started to have a change in her attitude toward Chen Hao. Even until now, Jiang Weiwei still wasn¡¯t sure if she had fallen for Chen Hao. There was no reason for her to dream of Chen Hao! Moreover, no matter how she looked at him now, she felt that Chen Hao was really handsome, charming and attractive. There was even a night she masturbated while looking at Chen Hao¡¯s photo. How embarrassing! All in all, Jiang Weiwei had been eager to meet the handsome Chen Hao these days so she waited for him for a long time. ¡°Chen Hao, why aren¡¯t you speaking?¡± Jiang Weiwei¡¯s voice turned gentle. Especially under her soft gaze, it made Chen Hao have goosebumps all over. ¡°Er, Jiang Weiwei, you don¡¯t have to be like this. To be honest, I really hated it when you bullied and being like this?¡± Chen Hao gulped. ¡°Hmph! Chen Hao, now only I know that you have a tendency toward masochism. Hmm, do I have to scold you and even beat you like before to make you happy? Or do you prefer me to whip you on the bed to make you happy? How perverted you are! You¡¯re so naughty!¡± Jiang Weiwei dropped a hint. But Chen Hao didn¡¯t get it at all. He got goosebumps listening to her words. If he knew that she was like this, he wouldn¡¯t have disclosed his identity to Jiang Weiwei. Miss, how can you say that you like me when you actually are fond of my money? Chen Hao didn¡¯t dare to make any remark. Jiang Weiwei stamped her foot anxiously and said, ¡°Hey, I know that you¡¯ve always been quiet since I first met you. Can¡¯t you be more outgoing and act like a man? Hmph, I¡¯ll give you a chance to punish me for mistreating you before this. It¡¯s up to you to decide whatever you want to do to me.¡± After saying that, she tugged Chen Hao¡¯s arm and brought him in her arms. Jiang Weiwei had been thinking of Chen Hao like crazy these days. She was determined to win his heart. Her current behavior showed her strong intentions. To be honest, in the past if Chen Hao was able to tame a beauty like Jiang Weiwei, who liked to bully him, into an obedient puppy, he would definitely feel aplished. But now, Chen Hao found it scary. Shivers were sent down his spine and he had goosebumps all over his body. He immediately ran away from her. ¡°Chen Hao, youe back here!¡± Jiang Weiwei yelled anxiously. However, she burst intoughter after Chen Hao left. Haha, I originally thought that Chen Hao would be annoyed by seeing me or even give me a p. But it seems like he is only afraid of me and doesn¡¯t hate me. It means that I still have a chance! While thinking of that, Jiang Weiwei crossed her arms and nced at the passenger seat of the Lamborghini. One day, I, Jiang Weiwei, will sit there proudly and let Chen Hao drive me around the campus! Meanwhile, Chen Hao had run back to the ssroom. Look at that, that¡¯s why I choose not to reveal my own identity. I¡¯m not trying to be narcissistic. I¡¯m pretty sure that gold diggers like Jiang Weiwei and Yang Xia will swarm me and disturb my daily life after knowing my identity. And no matter how he would live in the future, the only goal Chen Hao had currently was toplete his studies. As soon as he entered the ssroom, Chen Hao saw his ssmates having a heated discussion. Long story short, the discussion was mostly about the new transfer student, Young Master Zhao. They were discussing how cool he was as many girls had confessed to him and so on since he came to their college. In short, he was very impressive. ¡°Chen, you¡¯re here! Come, sit down and listen to Young Master Zhao¡¯s news. We¡¯ll deal with youter about how you never told us what happened between you and Zhao Yifan. ¡± Yang Hui showed Chen Hao his fist. He then said, ¡°Chen, it''s too bad that you didn¡¯t attend the weing conference of Young Master Zhao since you took leave yesterday!¡± ¡°Er, the college really held a weing conference for him? Since when does our college have this welfare?¡± Li Rui interrupted and said, ¡°It wasn¡¯t a weing conference actually. The conference is actually to celebrate Young Master Zhao¡¯s father¡¯s investment of fifty million to our college. How cool is he! To put it simple, it is actually a weing conference for Young Master Zhao! Haha!¡± Jealousy could be sensed in Li Rui¡¯s words. ¡°Sigh, the funniest thing is that our counselor, Meng Cairu was appointed to be the weer as she was the best looking among the teachers. She even flirted with Young Master Zhao and exchanged nces with him. I¡¯m speechless!¡± Yang Huiughed and said. ¡°Er¡­¡± Chen Hao forced a smile and shook his head helplessly. Now only you guys know about it. I¡¯ve known how Meng Cairu is in real life for a long time. You will know it just by looking at those pictures she sent. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. As Chen Hao thought about it, he secretly logged into his WeChat ount. He didn¡¯t get to look at them properly as he was angry that day. His desire was provoked again when he heard his ssmates talking about her. He then saw the photos that she sent him. Ever since that day, Meng Cairu had been sending him her sexy photos every night. Her face was clearly seen in all the photos. It made Chen Hao¡¯s blood boil. He only replied a single word to her¡ªLustful! Unexpectedly, Meng Cairu replied to him just in a few seconds. ¡°Who¡¯s lustful? Hmph, you¡¯re the only one I have shown the lustful side of mine. I¡¯m just ying around with the other guys. Hmph, are you jealous because you saw that I was close with Young Master Zhao yesterday in the conference? Tell me if you don''t like it. I¡¯ll never look at him again!¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not jealous!¡± ¡°Nah, I don¡¯t buy it. Ordinary Guy, if you are willing to meet me, I¡¯ll show you my naked photos after this.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about thatter!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so naughty. Alright then, I¡¯m having ss now.¡± As Chen Hao chatted with her, he realized that this had be a bad addiction of his. The more Meng Cairu behaved this way, the more revengeful Chen Hao felt. Suddenly, the door of the ssroom was opened harshly. ¡°Time for ss now. Shut up!¡± A cold scolding sounded from the door. Holding her phone, Meng Cairu entered the ssroom with a cold and fierce expression. She looked around nonchntly and finally fixed her gaze on Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao,e out!¡± Chapter 125 To Tell the Truth Chapter 125 To Tell the Truth ¡°Chen Hao,e out for a bit!¡± Meng Cairu scanned the ssroom with a cold look on her face before asking Chen Hao to step outside. ¡°Chen Hao, I need to tell you something. Tomorrow, one of my ex-college mate¡¯s husband is having an opening ceremony for his bar and they are short-staffed. If you are free tonight, you should head there and offer yourself as a part-timer. The sry there is much higherpared to the other bars,¡± Meng Cairu said casually with arms crossed. ¡°Part-time? I¡­¡± Chen Hao was stunned. ¡°What do you mean ¡®I¡¯? Do you understand a word I just said? He is only hiring on that particr night as there would be many people during the opening ceremony and he is short- handed. Do you think that a guy like you could hold down a permanent job there? Do you even know the location of his bar? It is at the Jin Ling Commercial Street! Do you understand what this means? This means that from today onward, he will only be hiring tall and handsome guys.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°What do you mean ¡®I¡¯? It¡¯s settled then. I will be attending their opening ceremony tomorrow night and I am bringing you along as well.¡± As soon as she finished, Meng Cairu rolled her eyes at Chen Hao and left. I¡­ Oh f*ck you! Chen Hao cursed inwardly. He wanted to tell her that he did not want to go because there wasn¡¯t any need for it. Besides, he had had enough of her domineering attitude. For the past three years, he had to do whatever Meng Cairu wanted. When he pictured Meng Cairu¡¯s half-naked body that night andpared it to her cold haughty manner just now, he felt likeughing. However, the situation was a bit awkward now and it wouldn¡¯t be appropriate if he did not show up. Sigh! I better go then. Besides, it¡¯s just for a day. Chen Hao scratched his head and went back to ss. The morning sses were boring but it wasn¡¯t long before noon arrived and sses were dismissed. ¡°Chen Hao, are you free in the afternoon? Let¡¯s have a meal together.¡± At this moment, he received a text message from Zhao Yifan. The words were dull and meaningless. However, her message made Chen Hao recall that he still had some unresolved matters with her. Zhao Yifan became his girlfriend due to a misunderstanding that urred yesterday and this matter was giving Chen Hao a huge headache. Furthermore, it was obvious that Zhao Yifan wanted him to get close to her. Truthfully, if she had be his girlfriend back then, Chen Hao would have been happy even if she used to look down upon him. He would even have treated her well. After all, she was a really gorgeous girl! However, Chen Hao¡¯s heart only yearned for Su Tongxin right now. If he were to continue this ambiguous rtionship with Zhao Yifan, then he would really be a jerk. Because why should he continue this rtionship if he did not love her? It would be better if he cleared things up with Zhao Yifan. Otherwise, the misunderstanding between them would deepen and he would be in hot soup. Chen Hao thought about it and decided to answer bluntly in a single sentence. ¡°Zhao Yifan, let¡¯s meet up in the garden after sses. Pleasee alone as I need to clear up something with you.¡± ¡°Ok!¡± Zhao Yifan replied swiftly. Chen Hao headed to the garden right after his ss. Even then, Zhao Yifan was already waiting for him there. It was obvious that she was all dolled up specially for today. Her face lit up with delight when she saw Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, you came!¡± She smiled sweetly and that made her devastatingly beautiful. Though the moment she saw Chen Hao, Zhao Yifan felt conflicted. In the past, she really treated him with disdain, the kind that went bone-deep. However, she suddenly realized now that he looked quite handsome and his aura was especially attractive. Yet, she did not know why. ¡°I was going to let you treat me to a meal yesterday night but that¡¯s the kind of attitude I get from you? Why did you do that?¡± Zhao Yifan walked toward Chen Hao. He felt as if he was in a dream when he smelled the sweet scent emanating from her body as the stunning beauty that he couldn¡¯t have in the past was standing shyly in front of him now. He chuckled to himself as he thought that this was too dramatic. Even so, he still nned to tell her the truth. ¡°Because I don¡¯t want to be in a rtionship with you anymore!¡± Chen Hao said bluntly. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Erm, Zhao Yifan, I think there is a huge misunderstanding here. I-I wasn¡¯t pursuing you at that time. Ahem! I shall tell you everything today. I went to your department that day to find Su Tongxin as I wanted to ask her out for a meal. However, the moment I stepped foot into your department, the girls over there surrounded me as they thought I wanted to confess my love. Then¡­¡± Chen Hao told her everything that he had been repressing inside his heart. Zhao Yifan¡¯s chest was rising and falling rapidly. Every single word was like a sharp thorn that pierced her heart deeply. Her petite figure couldn¡¯t help but shiver. ¡°Then, I happened to appear at that exact moment and mistakenly thought that you were confessing to me. I even agreed to it, am I right?¡± Zhao Yifan frowned. ¡°That¡¯s right. Moreover, with the atmosphere at that time, it would have been embarrassing if I were to exin the situation right away then,¡± answered Chen Hao while lowering his head. ¡°Haha! Now I understand everything. I am aplete idiot! An idiot who was toyed by another person!¡± Zhao Yifan scolded with a cold look on her face.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. It was akin to have shown excessive passion to a cold person yet resulted in having eggs thrown onto her face. Zhao Yifan felt like a joke. The first time she fell in love was with Zhuang Qiang, whom she had mistaken as the person who helped her out. However, after getting into a rtionship with him, it ended up with her being humiliated. And now, the second time she fell in love was with Chen Hao, who had always given her a helping hand. Yet, she had once again made a fool out of herself. Enough was enough! She only wanted to find a rich and sophisticated boyfriend. It was supposed to be a simple matter but why did she find it so difficult to pull it off? p! Zhao Yifan pped Chen Hao angrily across the face. ¡°Chen Hao, you are such a jerk! You think you could simply toy around with me just because you have some money? Just you wait, one day I will find a boyfriend that is even richer than you and make you eat your words today!¡± The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. After pping Chen Hao, she gave him a vengeful look and turned around to leave. Chen Hao touched his stinging face. A bitter smile formed at the corner of his mouth. Sigh! I think I shouldn¡¯t be telling you this, but how could you find another person in the world who is richer than me? Ahem! Anyway, the matter was finally resolved after he had told her everything. Chen Hao was d now. Besides, he did not hurt Zhao Yifan too deeply. Let¡¯s just leave it at that. Chen Hao sat down quietly in the garden. He enjoyed the view by theke and this rare moment of peace. Just then, his mobile phone suddenly rang. Chen Hao was delighted when he saw the number. It was Su Tongxin! Since yesterday, Su Tongxin hadpletely severed all ties with Chen Hao. Therefore, he did not expect her to call. He quickly answered the phone. ¡°Chen Hao, I am sorry to bother you but may I know whether you are free right now? I have something to tell you.¡± Su Tongxin sounded strange on the phone. Chen Hao smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Of course I am free, I don¡¯t have a girlfriend anyway.¡± ¡°Haha, yesterday¡¯s confession was sensational, did you think that I would miss it?¡± Chen Hao could obviously tell what Su Tongxin meant. He proceeded to exin everything to Su Tongxin in detail. ¡°Ok then!¡± Su Tongxin replied indifferently even after listening to Chen Hao¡¯s exnation. She did not ¡°Why did you call me?¡± asked Chen Hao. ¡°Do I need a reason to call you?¡± Su Tongxin sounded slightly annoyed. ¡°But I thought that you said that you have something to tell me. What happened?¡± ¡°Nothing!¡± Beep¡­ Beep¡­ She hung up the phone immediately. Chen Hao nearly went mad, absolutely mad. It was so difficult to be around women, especially the brilliant ones. You could never figure out what was going on inside their heads forever. Sigh! Forget it, I shall go and find her¡­ Chapter 126 Wind Bamboo Pavilion Chapter 126 Wind Bamboo Pavilion ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. Come quickly Tongxin. That jerk is here!¡± ¡°I thought he was in a rtionship with Zhao Yifan? Why is he standing at the entrance of our ssroom?¡± ¡°Tsk, does this loser have his eyes on Tongxin as well? Oh my, why did Zhao Yifan agree to be his girlfriend? What was she thinking?¡± The moment Chen Hao reached the entrance of Su Tongxin¡¯s ssroom, he was immediately ridiculed by the crowd. However, Chen Hao was already immune to this. He only wanted to ask Su Tongxin out for a walk. Su Tongxin was surprised that Chen Hao came to find her in person as she was waiting for him to call her back again. Unexpectedly, just when she was on the verge of disappointment, he showed up at her ss. Needless to say, she agreed to go out for a walk with him. That was because she made the decision to trust him again. In fact, after pping him the other day, she had regretted her actions because no matter how much she thought about it, Chen Hao just wasn¡¯t that kind of person. Therefore, when Chen Hao exined the situation to her just now, she immediately believed him. Under everyone''s surprised gaze, they walked out of the ssroom to the campus walkway. ¡°Chen Hao, do you remember my cousin who returned from M Countryst time? She was busy sorting out some business matters these past few days but she is currently free and she really wants to meet you. I tried to postpone the meeting with her several times but I couldn¡¯t drag anymore.¡± Then, Su Tongxin said, ¡°I would like you to treat my cousin to a meal.¡± ¡°Ok, no problem. When is sheing?¡± When Chen Hao saw that Su Tongxin wasn¡¯t angry anymore, he knew that he did not have to worry about this matter any further and agreed to her right then. ¡°You don¡¯t have any sses in the afternoon right? Shall we set the lunch date at noon? My cousin will be busy the next few days and after that she will be leaving for M Country again.¡± ¡°Sure!¡± After finalizing their ns, Chen Hao started to look around for a suitable ce for their lunch date. He did not want to go to the Jin Ling Commercial Street as he was too familiar with that area. Besides, if he were to go there, it would look as if he was unting himself. After discussing with Li Zhenguo, they eventually settled for a quiet ce called Wind Bamboo Pavilion where Li Zhenguo promptly made reservations. Although it was not part of the Jin Ling Commercial Street, it was one of the restaurants that was built and developed by the Jin Ling Commercial Group. In terms of financial performance, thebined profits of three or four ordinary restaurants at the Jin Ling Commercial Street could not measure up to Wind Bamboo Pavilion¡¯s profits. After hearing that, Chen Hao decided on the Wind Bamboo Pavilion and came here with Su Tongxin. When they arrived, Chen Hao felt that the Wind Bamboo Pavilion wasn¡¯t as huge as he thought it would be. It was as if they were stepping out of the city into a small vige on the mountains. All the rooms of the pavilion were made out of rocks. The style was simr to that of the period when Republic of China was established. It was quite elegant. ¡°Tang Chu, over here!¡± Within less than half an hour, a fashionably-dressed beautiful woman walked into the restaurant. Chen Hao and Su Tongxin were waiting at the entrance. When Su Tongxin saw her, she greeted her with delight. ¡°Tongxin, who chose this ce and why? It¡¯s so old-fashioned.¡± The woman named Tang Chu walked over. She took off her sunsses and scanned the surroundings with a look of disdain. ¡°Nice to meet you Tang Chu, my name is Chen Hao. I reserved this ce.¡± Chen Hao smiled casually. Tang Chu was almost simr to Tang Ran. She was an exceptionally beautiful woman and she also had a different aura due to her being an overseas returnee. Anyhow, her immediate nitpicking attitude was within Chen Hao¡¯s expectations. He chuckled to himself. Wasn¡¯t her younger sister, Tang Ran like that as well? ¡°So, you are Chen Hao then. I have been wanting to meet you. I heard both of my sisters telling me that you are a rich guy. You could even afford a Lamborghini with the winnings from the lottery. Haha, so how could you bring me to a ce like this?¡± said Tang Chu while walking into the private room. She was indeed a blunt person. Furthermore, she even pinched her nose lightly. It was so clean here, so how could it smell? Chen Hao only smiled bitterly and shook his head. ¡°Chen Hao, tell me, how much money do you have left from the lottery winnings?¡± Tang Chu immediately went straight to the topic. Chen Hao smiled faintly. ¡°Not much, it¡¯s almost gone.¡± ¡°Haha, I can tell. People like you have the ssic upstart mentality. It¡¯s good for those who know how to be thrifty. However, for one like yourself, the moment you obtain your winnings, you spend it on a luxury car. You definitely got ahead of yourself!¡± Tang Chu shook her head lightly while Chen Hao only smiled bitterly and nodded his head. It seemed that Su Tongxin and Tang Ran did not tell her about his true identity yet. In a way, they were helping him out by keeping it a secret. ¡°So, Chen Hao, what are your future ns?¡± asked Tang Chu. ¡°I haven¡¯t figured it out yet,¡± replied Chen Hao in a careless manner. Then, he thought to himself, Why is it always the same questions? Tang Chu shook her head in disappointment. Su Tongxin tried to change the topic at this moment. ¡°Tang Chu, didn¡¯t you say that you were expecting your friends who were working and studying abroad with you to arrive in Jin Ling today? Where are they?¡± ¡°Oh yeah, they will be arriving soon. Sigh. Originally, I wanted to invite them over for lunch and introduce them to you so that you guys could get acquainted with them. They are considered the cr¨¨me de cr¨¨me of those who went abroad to pursue their studies. However, just look at this ce! How could I invite them over to such a tasteless ce?¡± ¡°Huh? Tang Chu, I think this ce that Chen Hao reserved is quite nice. Furthermore, they have amodations here as well. We could even arrange a ce for them to stay here,¡± said Su Tongxin. ¡°Hah! Do you want me to embarrass myself in front of my friends by letting them stay in a ce like this?¡± Tang Chu was feeling exasperated. Her phone suddenly rang at that moment. She quickly answered it. ¡°What? You guys have arrived? Huh? Your brother is fetching you? Yes, I haven¡¯t eaten yet, but I am nning to have lunch with my cousin now. I think it¡¯s called the Wind Bamboo Pavilion. Do-Don¡¯t As Tang Chu spoke, she cast a disgusted look at Chen Hao since she thought that he was a person with low standards. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. You guys are actuallying?¡± Nobody knew what went on during their conversation. However, the overall conclusion was, Tang Chu¡¯s friends wereing to the Wind Bamboo Pavilion to take a look and this nearly scared the living daylights out of her. After that, she hung up the phone. ¡°My dear cousin, I am going to embarrass myself in front of my friends today because of you. I postponed one or two gatherings with my local ssmates just toe here this afternoon. s, look at the mess your boyfriend made. Initially, I had wanted him to also help arrange my friends¡¯ amodation, but let¡¯s just forget about it,¡± said Tang Chu woefully. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Chen Hao was speechless. The Wind Bamboo Pavilion looked modest, but here in Jin Ling, other than the extremely expensive dishes at the Hot Spring Vi, nothing else could match the prices of the dishes here in the Wind Bamboo Pavilion. The Hot Spring Vi¡¯s main theme was abination of scenery, entertainment and dining. On the other hand, as it¡¯s name implied, the Wind Bamboo Pavilion¡¯s main theme was about fine dining in an elegant, vintage looking environment. The vast expanse of bamboo and stone huts illustrated that point. In addition to that, the chefs here were some of the top culinary experts in the country¡¯s local cuisine. However, judging from her looks, Tang Chu was not satisfied with the ce. If he knew this earlier, he would have arranged their lunch date at the Hot Spring Vi. Just then, a luxury car drove inside and Tang Chu¡¯s phone rang. Tang Chu stood up in embarrassment. ¡°They still came. Sigh. Guess I¡¯ll just have to show them around.¡± While answering her phone, Tang Chu walked out with her arms swinging by her sides. ¡°Wei Lin, Nuo Yi, you guys came!¡± ¡°Of course we came, Chu. But I¡¯ll be damned. What kind of ce is this? It doesn¡¯t look like much!¡± Two pretty girls alighted from the car and greeted Tang Chu. One of them named Wei Lin dragged the driver to the front of Tang Chu. Apparently, the driver was a handsome young man. ¡°Chu, this is my younger brother Wei Qiang. He came from Wuzhou specifically to fetch me and he insisted on apanying me to do some shopping in Jin Ling.¡± ¡°Wow, Wei Qiang is really a handsome young man.¡± Tang Chu was smiling from ear to ear. ¡°Chu, nice to meet you. I couldn¡¯t believe my ears when I heard my sister praising your beauty. However, after meeting you in person, you are way more beautiful than what my sister described!¡± said Wei Qiang with a smile as he smoothed out his suit. Tang Chu was really ttered. ¡°By the way, Chu, is this beautiful youngdy your cousin Su Tongxin? The one that you often mentioned to us? She seemed to be about the same age as my brother,¡± said Wei Lin with a smile. Wei Qiang took one look at Su Tongxin and he couldn¡¯t take his eyes off her as she was just too pretty. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s right. I wanted to introduce her to Wei Qiang so that they can get acquainted with each other and get along as friends.¡± Tang Chu smiled while turning her head and motioned Su Tongxin toe over and greet them. However, she suddenly recalled that Su Tongxin already had a boyfriend and this unpleasant looking guy was standing right beside her. Oh my! How could she forget about Chen Hao? ¡°Nice to meet you, Wei Lin. This is my boyfriend, Chen Hao. He will be treating us to lunch today.¡± Su Tongxin held onto Chen Hao''s arm and introduced him wholeheartedly. Both Wei Lin and Wei Qiang looked disappointed when they saw this. So she already had a boyfriend? ¡°Haha, is there anything good to eat around here? I heard my friends saying that the best ce to dine in Jin Ling City is a ce called the Jin Ling Commercial Street. There is a restaurant called Homecook Kitchen Restaurant there and I heard that it is not too bad. Let¡¯s go there and eat. My treat!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard of that ce before. Ok, let¡¯s go there then.¡± Tang Chu obviously did not have any opinions. The Homecook Kitchen Restaurant was a far cry from this ce. However, since they did not appreciate this ce, Chen Hao wasn¡¯t in any position toment further. Since they were willing to go, then so be it. . . Chapter 127 The Contempt from Tang Chu Chapter 127 The Contempt from Tang Chu Chen Hao and the rest left for Homecook Kitchen Restaurant in their cars. They were shocked to see Chen Hao¡¯s Lamborghini at first, but Tang Zhu soon exined it to them, telling them how profligate he was in spending money. Surely enough, the Wei siblings, who were originally impressed by Chen Hao, shot a look of disdain at him. They felt that it was such a waste that the luxury car was driven by a loser like Chen Hao. In regards to that, Chen Hao only smiled indifferently. Anyway, it was Wei Qiang''s time to shine. He gave a call to his friend in Jin Ling and brought everyone to the nice private room that he had booked at the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. Everyone was astonished, especially Tang Chu. ¡°Hey! Wei Qiang. I never knew that you have such connections in Jin Ling. Haha, Homecook Kitchen Restaurant is indeed a high ss ce. It feels honorable to dine here!¡± ¡°Unlike someone who only knows ces where the mossbacks would go to.¡± Looking at the surroundings in the private room, Tang Chu fell in love with it. ¡°Great. d to know that you like it. My friends are regr customers here in Homecook Kitchen Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Restaurant. We cane again next time! What do you think of this ce, Tongxin?¡± Wei Qiang smiled as he directed his gaze towards Su Tongxin. Obviously, he ignored Chen Hao on purpose. It was because Wei Qiang felt superior to Chen Hao as he came from a rich family while Chen Hao was just a loser who won the lottery. The guy did not have any strong background at all. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± What could Su Tongxin say? She could only nod her head and reply with a simple remark. ¡°Wei Qiang, you¡¯re in third year now. It¡¯s about time for your internship next year. What are your ns? Are you thinking about continuing your studies abroad or do you have any other goals?¡± Tang Chu asked delightfully. ¡°I might stay here and establish a startuppany instead. My dream is to have my ownpany! Haha¡­¡± ¡°What a great n. Currently, the economy in our country is quite good. You¡¯ll have a bright future if you be the CEO of your ownpany!¡± Tang Chu nodded her head in approval. Looking at her cousin¡¯s boyfriend who sat at his ce quietly, she was totally disappointed in him. Indeed, Tang Chu could tell the difference between the people who were promising and the ones who weren''t at a nce. Obviously, Chen Hao was categorized as the unpromising type of person. He wouldn¡¯t be sessful in his entire life! ¡°Chen Hao, I wonder what your ns are for an internship. Are you nning to work in a news bureau or editorial department?¡± Wei Qiang sneered as he looked at Chen Hao. ¡°I haven¡¯t decided. I might take up some courses relevant to Economic Management,¡± Chen Hao said indifferently. ¡°Haha, with the little money that you¡¯ve won from the lottery, do you think that you¡¯re able to take elective courses in Economic Management? Chen Hao, I think it¡¯s better for you to look atpanies for an internship. You should also get yourself some insurance and save some funds in order to secure yourself a wife.¡± Tang Chu burst out inughter at once. It was because she majored in Economic Management abroad. It was hrious for her to hear that Chen Hao wanted to study the subject. Chen Hao understood her implicit message through her words. She was obviously hinting to him that she didn¡¯t approve of him dating Su Tongxin. Su Tongxin quickly distracted Tang Chu with other conversation topics. The dishes came just in time. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, this is the La Romanee-Conti wine from our restaurant. Please enjoy it!¡± A waitress came in with a bottle of red wine courteously. ¡°La Romanee-Conti? I¡¯m not dreaming, am I? This is the red wine brand which ranks the first among the top ten most luxurious red wine brands in the world!¡± Tang Chu and Wei Lin were left astonished when they heard the waitress introduced the brand of the red wine. They lived abroad for many years, hence they had some knowledge on red wine. ¡°Bring it here, I want to see if it¡¯s genuine.¡± Tang Chu blushed in surprise. She carefully took a look at the red wine bottle over and over. She was even more excited after she had finished looking at it. ¡°It''s a genuine one!¡± ¡°Really? I want to look at it too!¡± Wei Lin was thrilled as well. All of them finally looked at Wei Qiang surprisingly. They thought he was considered superb at the beginning. But now they realized that he was more impressive than they could imagine after seeing the red wine bottle. ¡°Wei Qiang, tell us about your friend! What great connections you have! Did you know that only the big bosses overseas could get their hands on this wine?¡± The more Tang Chu looked at Wei Qiang, the more she favored him. ¡°That¡¯s right, my little brother. Why didn¡¯t I know that you had connections? Tell me, are there any other things that you are hiding from me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure about it either. Anyway, my friend really is being courteous to me today! Haha!¡± Wei Qiang was puzzled by the huge gratitude. But he didn¡¯t think much about it. He felt jubnt as he was immersed in the admiration shown by Tang Chu and the others. Chen Hao remained silent on his side. This red wine bottle is probably from Zheng Yue. This girl really made an effort to help me in earning respect from them. Whereas Wei Qiang took away the fruits of victory. Even then, Chen Hao did not intend to unfold the truth. First, Tang Chu would never believe me. Moreover, what for I tell the truth? To show that I¡¯m superb? How silly! Chen Hao thought that it was fine as long as everyone was happy. And so, they had their meal. During the entire time, the more Tang Chu looked at Chen Hao, the more her dissatisfaction towards him grew. She kept showering Wei Qiang withpliments while using Chen Hao as aparison. After the meal, everyone went downstairs and Wei Qiang went to the front counter to pay the bill. ¡°Sir, you¡¯re entitled to a thirty percent discount for this meal.¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone was surprised by the words of the cashier at the front desk. ¡°Damn, Qiang, you¡¯re so cool! Thirty percent discount! It makes us feel so proud!¡± Tang Chu said that again in a surprise. ¡°Hehe, this is nothing much! Tang Chu and Tongxin, how about going for a ride together. We¡¯ll book a hotel room for my sister to restter in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Sure! Frankly speaking, I came to Jin Ling quite often when I was young, and I haven''t been here much after I went abroad. Why don''t we let my cousin apply for her leave and we can hang out together? I¡¯m meeting some of my ssmates from high school and universityter. Let¡¯s have a gathering!¡± Tang Chu said with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s great! If that¡¯s the case, I will book another table in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant for tonight!¡± Wei Qiang patted his chest. ¡°Sis, Wei Lin, we still have some stuff to do in college. Please excuse us. You guys enjoy yourselves! I¡¯ll be heading back with Chen Hao.¡± Su Tongxin noticed Chen Hao look slightly unhappy. After all, Chen Hao invited her cousin for a meal today but Wei Qiang stole the spotlight at the end. Su Tongxin also understood that Chen Hao couldn¡¯t expose his identity. Afraid that he would be angry, Su Tongxin decided to go back with Chen Hao first. ¡°Huh? Tongxin, it''s a pity if you¡¯re not going with us! I was thinking that you could be our tour guide!¡± Wei Qiang pleaded. Seeing Su Tongxin''s insistence to leave, he looked at Tang Chu with his entreating eyes helplessly. Tang Chu grasped the opportunity at once. She nced at Chen Hao coldly and said to Su Tongxin, ¡°Tongxin,e with me. I have something to tell you.¡± Chapter 128 You Are Not Our VIP Guest Chapter 128 You Are Not Our VIP Guest Tang Chu called Su Tongxin aside. Without knowing what was said in a lowered voice, Tang Chu¡¯s eyes were cast on Chen Hao from time to time, asionally ncing at Wei Qiang. She was probably persuading Su Tongxin to quickly break up with Chen Hao and be in a rtionship with Wei Qiang. Anyhow, Su Tongxin would never agree to it. ¡°Sis, have fun and enjoy yourself. Chen Hao and I will go back to school first!¡± After bidding goodbye, Su Tongxin and Chen Hao left. Tang Chu was very worried. She stared at their backs and stomped her feet. ¡°Chu, it''s fine. Tongxin is your sister, and so she is my good friend now. I will look for her more in the future!¡± Wei Qiang was also disappointed, but he still forced augh. ¡°Well, Wei Qiang, don¡¯t be dejected by this. Don¡¯t worry, I will ask my sister to kick Chen Hao away sooner orter. How can hepete with you?¡± Tang Chuughed. And so, the group proceeded to explore several ces in Jin Ling. Time went by quickly and it was already evening. Originally, Tang Chu had made arrangements to invite several friends from her high school and college Content held by N?velDrama.Org. to have dinner together in the evening. Since Wei Qiang and his sister did not n to leave yet, she decided to ask everyone out for a meal and get acquainted with each other. As for Wei Qiang, he continued to show his generous side. They still set the dinner ce at the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. After all, the restaurant had boosted his ego earlier in the day. Since there were so many new friends here this time, he could show off again. There were about five or six friends here. This time, a bigger private room was booked. ¡°Hurry up and bring me all the best dishes from your restaurant!¡± Wei Qiang said firmly. He tossed his car keys and crossed his legs. ¡°Wow, Chu, so this is the rich little brother you mentioned. His temperament is not bad! He looks very domineering!¡± ¡°Haha, by the way, Chu, does he have a girlfriend? I have a cousin sister. She is still single!¡± ¡°Sigh, I wish I could have such a macho boyfriend!¡± All those who came were girls. At that moment, they all looked at Wei Qiang with admiration. Rich guys were naturally attractive, especially the domineering ones. Tang Chu was reluctant to say that Wei Qiang had no girlfriend. If he was snatched by other girls, her dearest cousin would have no chance at all! ¡°Haha, can you girls stop being a flirt? The dishes are about to be served. There''s a bigger surprise for all of you after that. Would you all like to take this opportunity to anticipate the next surprise?¡± Tang Chu smiled and said. ¡°Huh? What surprise! You''ve kept us guessing since we came here!¡± ¡°Yes, hurry up and tell us!¡± Tang Chu chuckled. ¡°You all will know once the waiter finishes serving the dish!¡± At the same time, she had some proud expectations. This was also the reason why Tang Chu wanted Wei Qiang to be here. This way, she would feel superior! However, after they have managed to wait for the waiter to finish serving. "Ladies and gentlemen, the dishes are ready. Please enjoy your meals!" The waiter smiled and turned away. ¡°Hmph, wait for a while!¡± Tang Chu asked shockingly, ¡°Are you sure it''s all ready? Didn''t you forget anything?¡± The waiter shook his head dumbly, ¡°No, I''ve served everything you ordered!¡± Smack! Tang Chu pped heavily on the table. ¡°Are you blind? Don''t you know who is the one paying for dinner today? It''s Young Master Wei. Can''t you see that we haven''t gotten our drinks yet?¡± Tang Chu reminded the waiter. Truthfully, this made her look really awful. Just think about it, Tang Chu was an overseas returnee. She was living in M Country now. Moreover, she had very expensive tastes. People of this sort usually had very high ego. They loved nothing but their pride. ¡°Excuse me, Miss. You didn¡¯t order any drinks. This is our wine list. Please have a look!¡± The waiter handed the menu back to Tang Chu. Tang Chu was almost stunned. One of Tang Chu''s ssmates also sneered, ¡°Chu, what''s the situation? Isn''t there a surprise after the meal was served? Where is the surprise?¡± ¡°Hmph, I don''t want to look at it. I''ll remind you again. This is Young Master Wei. And since he''s here, shouldn¡¯t you send us someplimentary items?¡± Tang Chu mentioned Wei Qiang¡¯s name again. ¡°I''m sorry, Miss. There are many young masters and big bosses whoe to our restaurant everyday. We can¡¯t giveplimentary items to every young master whoes here!¡± ¡°What are you arguing at? You¡¯re not showing us any respect. Do you know Young Master Kang? He¡¯s my buddy!¡± Wei Qiang said with a sneer. ¡°I do know Young Master Kang whoes here regrly. But what does it have to do with sending you free gifts?¡± The waiter was getting confused. ¡°Sh*t, you¡¯re not respecting us at all!¡± The faces of Wei Qiang and Tang Chu turned extremely awful. Especially at this time, all of Tang Chu¡¯s ssmates and friends were looking at her with grins. Women would alwayspare among themselves. Thepetitions were even more intense among the best friends. The fact that Tang Chu had been studying and working abroad made her friends envious from the beginning. It would have made them envy her more if they saw what the surprise could have been. But it was funny that Tang Chu and Young Master Wei seemed to have an awkward situation now. ¡°Forget about it. What a dimwit! I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore. Let me tell you, I won¡¯t eat here today! I''ll show you who you''ve affronted!¡± Wei Qiang was also angry. He mmed the table. Then, he left with Tang Chu and the others. The waiter might not know him, but the girl at the front desk downstairs should recognize him. He had to get some of his dignity back. ¡°Forget about the meal. Give me the bill!¡± He directly went downstairs after saying that. Wei Qiang¡¯s voice was quite loud. That cashier didn''t know what was going on and only settled the ounts. ¡°Hello, sir. The total cost is 80,000. Would you like to pay by cash or credit card?¡± ¡°What? 80,000? What about the discount?¡± Tang Chu was shocked. ¡°Discount? I''m sorry, Miss. Our restaurant hasn''tunched any special offer recently!¡± Naturally, the cashier girl recognized them, though there was a little disdain in the way she looked at them now. Talking so loudly, and pretending to be rich. It''s only 80,000, but look at how shocked they are. ¡°Have you forgotten that you gave us a thirty percent discount for the meal we ate here at noon? You also gave us a bottle of rare red wine for free!¡± Tang Chu¡¯s face had almost turned green. ¡°Yes, I remember. But the thirty percent discount and theplimentary red wine was given due to the presence of one of our most valuable guests. The meal will be free of charge if he is the one who settles the bill, but this VIP guest is not here now!¡± The cashier girl coldly exined. ¡°What? So, it wasn¡¯t because of Wei Qiang?¡± Tang Chu was stupefied. But who else could be the VIP guest that was here for lunch? Right, it was Tongxin and Chen Hao. Tongxin had always been very humble. She would definitely note to this kind of ce to eat. How could she be a VIP guest at the Home Kitchen Restaurant? Wait a minute! Unless... It was Chen Hao? Chapter 129 Is Chen Hao That Rich? Chapter 129 Is Chen Hao That Rich? Tang Chu asked quickly, ¡°Is Chen Hao the VIP guest that you mentioned?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t know. We only know that one of the guests from your table earlier today is our VIP guest.¡± The cashier gave a wee smile. Huh? What¡¯s going on? The only guests other than us in the afternoon were only Chen Hao and Tongxin. Even though the waitress didn¡¯t want to mention the name, Tang Chu was almost sure. They are probably just showing respect to Chen Hao. But how is that possible? ¡°Haha, Chu, where¡¯s your surprise? Is this the surprise you have prepared for us?¡± one of Tang Chu¡¯s high school ssmates, Wang Damei, asked. Wang Damei was Tang Chu¡¯s bestie in high school. They were ssmates in college as well. Although they were besties, they never stoppedpeting with each other in everything. Both of them were jealous of one another. Later on, when Tang Chu passed the exam with flying colors, she went to study abroad in M Country and worked there after. It could be said that she was doing better than Wang Damei. Even just now, Tang Chu had wanted to show off in front of Wang Damei again. However, she failed to do that. It roused Tang Chu¡¯s anger when Wang Damei asked the question intentionally. There was no discount for them for sure. But it was more humiliating if they continued to have their meal there. Wei Qiang had no choice and could only pay the bill with a scowl on his face. He spent more than 80,000 for a meal which they never got to eat, and even failed to give himself airs. It was such a waste. After paying the bill, Wei Qiang could no longer arrange amodations for them. ¡°Oh yeah, Tang Chu, I believe that your friends who came back from overseas have yet to settle their amodations right? I can take charge in arranging the meals and amodations for them. What do you think about that? Let¡¯s have a meal before we go back to rest. Else, it¡¯s horrible to leave everyone starving.¡± After leaving the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant in a mess, Wang Damei held her arms and sneered. Tang Chu said indignantly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to. I have money. I''ll arrange it. How about staying in a five- star hotel in Jin Ling? Damei, it¡¯s alright if you want to stay there too. I''ll take care of it as well. We haven¡¯t seen each other for so many years, so this is a chance for us to have a great catch up!¡± ¡°Oh, Chu, I thought that you¡¯d be reallyvished by now since you¡¯vee back from overseas and your family even runs a business here. How can you let your friends stay in a five-star hotel? Aren''t you being a little bit indifferent to them!¡± Wang Dameiughed. Tang Chu asked, ¡°Then tell me, is there any other ce that is more luxurious to stay in Jin Ling other than staying in a five-star hotel?¡± ¡°Haha, of course! Haven¡¯t you heard about the Hot Spring Vi?¡± Wang Damei said proudly. ¡°Of course I¡¯ve heard about Hot Spring Vi before. It is rated as the top vi in our country. The expenses there are sky-high and all the customers who go there are prestigious.¡± In order to seek attention from the crowd, Wei Qiang quickly added in some remarks at this time. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about the ce too. But I couldn¡¯t afford to arrange your amodation there. Any other suggestions? I¡¯ll have them arranged!¡± Tang Chu realized that Wang Damei was trying to stir trouble on purpose. ¡°Alright then, since you asked, how about the vi ranked second in Jin Ling, Wind Bamboo Pavilion? They provide both meal catering services and amodation. As far as I know, the expenses there are a little lowerpared to the Hot Spring Vi. Chu, since you¡¯ve been doing so well all these years, I¡¯ll be really impressed if you manage to arrange our amodation there. I¡¯ll really look up to you and proudly call you my sister from this day onward!¡± Damei said in a joking manner. However, she didn¡¯t think Tang Chu would take it seriously. She was just trying to be sarcastic. After all, everyone knew that even the rich couldn''t simply visit these two ces¡ªHot Spring Vi and Wind Bamboo Pavilion. Therefore, Wang Damei just wanted to remind Tang Chu to stop being snobbish just because she went to study abroad. I''m sure you won''t be able to afford that! Just then. Puff. Tang Chu sniggered. ¡°Wind Bamboo Pavilion? Are you talking about that farmhouse? If I really managed to make arrangements tonight, be ready to fulfill your promise and call me sister then.¡± Looking at how serious Tang Chu was, Wang Damei said firmly, ¡°Sure! If you can do it, of course I¡¯ll call you my sister!¡± ¡°Hahahaha, deal! Wei Lin, Wei Qiang, get the car. Let¡¯s go to the Wind Bamboo Pavilion!¡± Is this a joke? Before having lunch at the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant this afternoon, Chen Hao, the loser, had made reservations at the farmhouse, Wind Bamboo Pavilion. Tang Chu couldn¡¯t stand to stay there. Only bumpkins would go to that kind of ce. But it didn¡¯t really matter now since they had made a bet. As long as she could arrange it, Tang Chu felt satisfied enough to have Wang Damei calling her ''sister''. Soon, they arrived at the ce. ¡°Waitress, arrange the most expensive meal for me. Also, I¡¯ll need... Let me count... I¡¯ll need five rooms!¡± Tang Chu ordered. She had never felt this satisfied in her entire life. ¡°Alright, Miss. I¡¯ll arrange it now. Miss, the total amount is 500,000. Please check the bill.¡± The waitress bowed at Tang Chu respectfully. How rich she is! ¡°Huh? What? 500,000? We only need five rooms, and they cost 500,000 for just a night? Did I hear wrongly?¡± Tang Chu gaped at the girl. ¡°No, miss. They are all our standard rooms, but the standard roomse with a free dinner meal for every guest, and we have famous chefs from all around the world to provide you with wide choices of cuisine.¡± As the waitress answered, she handed over the credit card terminal. ¡°W-w-wait a minute, what if we only book a table for dinner here?¡± Tang Chu gulped hard. ¡°We don¡¯t provide free private room services for dinner. But if you really want it, you may add on an extra of 15,000 for the private room service to enjoy all kinds of cuisine from around the world. Our chefs will surely be able to provide any food of your choice.¡± Gulp! Tang Chu waspletely stunned at the moment. Only now she knew that this wasn¡¯t a cheap ce for bumpkins. Even a prestigious person like her couldn¡¯t afford to spend here! Tang Chu didn''t know why but she immediately thought of Chen Hao. Earlier in the afternoon, Chen Hao had booked a table here for lunch. He was even prepared to arrange for amodations. It would probably cost at least around 500,000! Which means that Chen Hao is extremely rich! And he didn¡¯t spend all of his money! What¡¯s more, I¡¯m certain that Chen Hao was the VIP guest mentioned by the waitress, who was powerful enough to receive the precious red wine for free from the restaurant. Oh my god! It turns out that Chen Hao is the one with the most prestigious status! ¡°Haha, Chu, don¡¯t force yourself to do this. It¡¯s fine if you can¡¯t afford it. Just let me take charge of the arrangement. Let¡¯s quickly have our dinner. I¡¯m starving to death!¡± Wang Damei shook her head and sneered. ¡°Nonsense! I was here this afternoon. Oh, Wei Lin and Wei Qiang, both of you were here too right? We almost had our meals and checked into the hotel here!¡± Tang Chu refuted. ¡°Chu, cut your acting please!¡± Wang Damei began to look down at Tang Chu. ¡°I¡¯m not acting. You can ask this waitress. We were here this afternoon, weren''t we? There was a guy named Chen Hao who booked a table and rooms here, wasn''t it?¡± Tang Chu asked in a hurry. ¡°Yes, miss. There was a guest named Mr. Chen Hao who booked the rooms and a table for a meal. The rooms were all deluxe and the total cost was around 600,000!¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. The waitress remembered clearly that there was a guest named Chen Hao who came here this afternoon. The manager who was usually arrogant had actually bowed to him, and it surprised all of the employees in the hotel for a while! ¡°My god! 600,000!¡± Tang Chu couldn¡¯t believe it! She was thinking how great it would be if Chen Hao was here at this moment. She could find her way out of the embarrassment then. But how? Ah! This is insane! With deep regrets, Tang Chu immediately gave a call to her cousin, Su Tongxin, to ask if she could request Chen Hao for a favor. Unfortunately, Su Tongxin told her that she couldn¡¯t reach Chen Hao at all. Because at that moment, Chen Hao was performing another duty. . . ¡°Hurry up! You¡¯re too slow! Why couldn¡¯t I reach you? I almost thought you stood me up!¡± Meng Cairu sat in the driver''s seat and scolded Chen Hao who was rushing to the car. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Meng My phone battery was dead. Could you lend me your powerbank for a while, please?¡± Chen Hao pointed at the powerbank in her car. ¡°Take it. You really are the definition of Murphy''s Law. You¡¯re hopeless!¡± Meng Cairu scorned. Chen Hao charged his phone with the powerbank after that. As he promised, he followed Meng Cairu to a bar to work part time tonight. Sigh, he felt ridiculous when he thought about his current situation. I¡¯m the boss of Jin Ling Commercial Street and I¡¯m actually going to work part time for my employees now? Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but to smile bitterly. ¡°Oh yeah, I want to remind you something.¡± Meanwhile, Meng Cairu nonchntly said, as though she had thought of something. Chapter 130 The New Bar Launching Chapter 130 The New Bar Launching ¡°Chen Hao, I''m telling you now that all the people who are attending today are dignitaries. Since my friend knows that you are my student, you have to perform well when you¡¯re working thereter. If you embarrass me, just wait and see what happens!¡± Meng Cairu said rudely. Chen Hao didn''t answer and only nced out of the window. ¡°No manners!¡± Meng Cairu snorted. After that, she stopped speaking and concentrated on driving. Meng Cairu dressed up beautifully and sexily today. This was the first time Chen Hao had worked with Meng Cairu so closely. Smelling the fragrance from Meng Cairu''s body, it would be a lie to say that this woman could not charm men. Just when Chen Hao was about to have dirty thoughts, they had reached the entrance of the Zero Bar on Jin Ling Commercial Street. At this moment, there were many luxury cars parked at the entrance, along with many people going in and out. At the entrance area, Chen Hao saw the flower stand that Li Feihong had sent. After all, they had businesses on the same street, so it was normal for them to show some respect. Even Zhao Zixing, the new general manager of Jin Ling, had sent his blessings. It was obvious that the owner of this bar had good social connections. ¡°Cairu, have you just arrived? Everyone is waiting for you!¡± Surrounded by the crowd, a couple with their hands held came over to say hello to Meng Cairu. ¡°Qiaoqiao, I''m really sorry. I¡¯mte because of the traffic jam. Congrattions Qiaoqiao! May your business be prosperous!¡± Meng Cairu said to the woman who was obviously the owner of the bar. ¡°Hahaha, I''m d you cane. By the way, where is the helper that I asked you to look for?¡± ¡°I have found one. He is right here!¡± Both of them continued their chat. As for Chen Hao, he was bored out of his mind and was staring at the people from the business district who were sending flower stands. He wanted to see if there were any familiar faces. At this time, Meng Cairu tugged at Chen Hao. ¡°The boss asked for you!¡± ¡°Oh, hello, my name is Chen Hao!¡± Chen Hao responded and subconsciously reached out to shake hands. However, the atmosphere became tense. Qiaoqiao and her lover looked at Chen Hao''s extended hand and their faces went stiff. Who are you? Aren''t you a part-time worker? Are you worth shaking hands with? People care a lot about their pride nowadays. Though some etiquettes are necessary, the gap between our worlds is too big, and shaking hands could actually mean you disrespect us.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Qiaoqiao had that exact thought in her mind at that time. Immediately, she gave a scornful smile. ¡°What are you doing? Keep your filthy hands to yourself!¡± Meng Cairu scolded coldly. ¡°Please, don¡¯t you know your ce? Qiaoqiao, you can instruct him directly. What do you want him to do?¡± ¡°Well, let him go to the bar to help serve drinks!¡± Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Hao as she shook her head and smiled bitterly. Just like that, Chen Hao became the guy to help move the wine at the bar. While Meng Cairu naturally followed the boss of the bar, Qiaoqiao, into the most luxurious private room. It was a lot of fun in the bar. Especially tonight, since many young tycoons from rich families came. ¡°Three dozen beers for the guest at table 6!¡± ¡°Ah? It¡¯s too busy here. There¡¯s a massive influx of guests tonight. Erm, you! Yes, you! Since you have nothing to do, send three dozen beers to table 6 now!¡± The waiter at the bar was referring to Chen Hao who had just sat down to rest after moving all the wine. ¡°Hurry up!¡± The waiter raised his voice again. Sh*t! Chen Hao didn''t know how to react. But then he thought, since he had epted the job, he should just treat it as a part-time job. It was not like he hadn''t done it before! He took the beers and walked toward table 6! At table 6. ¡°Come here, sisters, let¡¯s have fun. Today, it is my treat. Enjoy to the fullest everyone! If you don''t get drunk, you can''t go back!¡± There were six girls at table 6. From the looks of it, they were all third-year female college students. However, they were all sexy, mature and very beautiful. Xiao, who was the leader of the group, drank a whole bottle and held her best friend who was sitting beside her. She said, ¡°Xiaoti, what''s the matter with you? I haven¡¯t seen you broadcast live for these two days, and you look pretty down. Usually, you¡¯d be the one who enjoys the bar the most. What¡¯s bothering you? Tell us what¡¯s wrong!¡± ¡°Xiao, do you think anyone would hide that they¡¯re a rich second generation heir? What I mean is, it¡¯s obvious that he looks poor and doesn''t have money, but in reality, he is actually really rich. Richer than you could ever imagine!¡± The one sitting there was none other than Wang Xiaoti who replied to Xiao gloomily, having gotten a p to the face recently. ¡°Hahaha, there really is. But this kind of situation is rare. Though it could also mean that this man is very vain. He might even stray into the wrong path because of that. Have you heard of people getting loans just to act rich? When in fact deep down, he is still a poor man!¡± Xiao said. From the looks of it, this Xiao probably came from a rich background. Wang Xiaoti nodded abruptly. ¡°That¡¯s right Xiao, ording to my observation, this person is particrly vain! And I¡¯ve asked, he once won the lottery. Maybe he struck it rich and loves to show off!¡± ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve seen many people like this. Don''t take it seriously. Sooner orter, there will be a day where he bes poor again. Come on, let¡¯s drink!¡± Wang Xiaoti was a little relieved. Truth be told, Wang Xiaoti had been feeling uneasy for the whole day. Everything was tasteless. Even the wine she was drinking at the moment tasted as if it was diluted with water, making it insipid. It was all because of that Chen Hao! She really had eggs on her face this morning! Besides, there was a high possibility that Chen Hao might be Young Master Chen! After all, that Lamborghini could be his! However, if the car was really his, it would mean that Chen Hao was very rich. But then, why would he be bullied by others? It didn¡¯t make any sense. It must have been a coincidence. Perhaps the Lamborghini belonged to someone else and Chen Hao showed up in the right ce at the right time! Coupled with Xiao''s constion, Wang Xiaoti felt much better. ¡°Missies, your beers!¡± Just then, Chen Hao came over with the drinks. He was preparing to leave after putting the drinks down. ¡°F*ck! Stop right there! Who are you calling missy?¡± Xiao angrily spat. Usually, they were very opened-minded while having fun together, however, they were very sensitive to how people address them. And now they were addressed as missy by a waiter on the spot? It was so inappropriate to call others missy! Chen Hao was shocked too. He wasn¡¯t paying attention to it just now, seeing how these girls were very beautiful, wearing miniskirts and so on. He had subconsciously called them missy. He didn''t expect to cause trouble. ¡°I meant beautifuldy. I''m sorry, it¡¯s my fault! Here are your beers. Please enjoy them!¡± Chen Hao slightly bowed. He raised his head and apologized to them. However, when Chen Hao looked up, he was shocked to see one of the girls. As for that girl, she was also stunned when she saw Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Wang Xiaoti?¡± It really was a small world! Wang Xiaoti was just thinking about Chen Hao, and she did not expect to see Chen Hao here. Moreover, how did Chen Hao end up as a waiter at Zero Bar? Hehe, isn''t he very rich? Somehow, seeing Chen Hao in such a manner, Wang Xiaoti suddenly felt a different kind of thrill. At that moment, Chen Hao was about to leave the table. She put on a cold expression and smirked. "Chen Hao, don¡¯t go. I am your acquaintance, am I not? Haha, isn¡¯t there something we should talk about?¡± Chapter 131 Making Meng Cairu Drunk Chapter 131 Making Meng Cairu Drunk ¡°What do you want?¡± asked Chen Hao coldly. He did not expect such coincidence to bump into Wang Xiaoti here. ¡°Haha! Let me ask you this then. After humiliating me this morning, how do you feel now, standing in front of me as a waiter?¡± Wang Xiaoti asked vengefully. When she had eggs thrown onto her face this morning, Wang Xiaoti¡¯s feelings were a mixture of regret and hate. Furthermore, she felt really embarrassed when Chen Hao made her look foolish in that instant. Wang Xiaoti was troubled by these emotions for the entire day. Now, she really wanted to take her revenge on him. ¡°Nothing much, I am very busy now. If you have anything to say to me, spit it out!¡± said Chen Hao indifferently as he gave her a bitter smile. ¡°Haha, busy? Don¡¯t make meugh, Chen Hao. Get me a napkin this instant!¡± Wang Xiaoti pointed to a box of napkins beside her. ¡°You are a waiter now and your job is to serve the customers. If you refuse to do that, I will file a Chen Hao nearly fainted as he listened to her non-stop ramblings. However, she did have a point there. Currently, he was only a waiter and hence he was required to serve the customers. And so, he picked up a piece of napkin and gave it to her. ¡°I don¡¯t want it! My shoes are dirty and I want you to clean it!¡± Wang Xiaoti was as proud as a peacock. ¡°Did you hear what she said? Xiaoti asked you to clean her shoes. Hah! We thought the Chen Hao she mentioned was a tall and handsome man. We''re really disappointed when we saw you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Aren''t you rich? Why did youe to the bar to be a waiter? Guys who pretend to be wealthy when they actually aren¡¯t are such disgusting creatures.¡± ¡°Haha! Xiao was right. Some people would do anything to preserve their ego!¡± Several girls crossed their arms and started ridiculing him. On the other hand, Wang Xiaoti was still waiting for him to clean her shoes with her foot raised. However, Chen Hao did not bother to clean her shoes. Instead, he put down the napkin and said, ¡°If you want somebody to clean your shoes, then leave Jin Ling Commercial Street and go to the bars in the red light district area. There would even be somebody to lick your feet there.¡± Chen Hao immediately turned to leave after blurting out those words. ¡°Y-You!¡± Wang Xiaoti almost burst out in rage. He actually asked her to find a male prostitute! However, if she looked at it from a different perspective, Wang Xiaoti wasn¡¯t angry anymore, instead she was quite happy. After all, the things that she had been worrying about for the entire day were finally gone. It was akin to removing a huge mountain that had been weighing down on her shoulders for quite some time. Currently, she felt as light as a feather. She really thought that Chen Hao was a rich person. Furthermore, she even assumed that he might be the owner of the Lamborghini. If it was true, then she would just kill herself as she had offended a true rich second generation heir. Wang Xiaoti was even thinking shamelessly, how nice it would be if her first meeting with Chen Hao went a little bit nicer. In short, Wang Xiaoti was feeling regretful and depressed for the entire day. But in the end, when she came out to relieve her boredom at night, she found out that Chen Hao was different from what she imagined him to be. He was a loser who would throw away his image just to satisfy his ego. What a relief. She thought to herself as sheughed. ¡°Get lost, loser. Come my friends, let us continue our drinking session!¡± Chen Hao returned to the bar counter after finally finishing his job of moving the wine bottles. He felt depressed the entire time. Since there was nothing else for him to do here, he figured he should tell Meng Cairu that he was going back. Thus, Chen Hao arrived at the private room Meng Cairu was in. A group of men and women were drinking inside the private room at this moment. ¡°Come on, Miss Meng, you have lost again. You can choose to either take off a piece of clothing or finish drinking this bottle of red wine in one go. Your choice.¡± A short, fat middle-aged man was currently sitting beside Meng Cairu. He was sitting very close to her and looking at her with lust in his eyes. ¡°I did not lose! It¡¯s obvious that you tricked me!¡± It was clear that Meng Cairu really hated this short, fat middle-aged man and the situation she was in now. At that moment, she was struggling to deal with them all. ¡°Hahaha, you still lost as you never mentioned that tricking you into losing would not have counted. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Since you do not want to drink the red wine, then just undress yourself already.¡± The man sniggered. The short, fat middle-aged man grabbed Meng Cairu¡¯s skirt and started groping his way upward. ¡°Are you out of your f*cking mind?!¡± p! Although Meng Cairu had a hidden wild side, she still had high standards when it came to guys. And in that moment, she lifted her hand and gave that short, fat man a p in the face. Then, she abruptly stood up, lifted her ss of wine and sshed it onto his face. ¡°Ah! President Zhang, are you alright?¡± asked thedy boss, Qiaoqiao, immediately when she saw the conflict. At the same time, the entire room became silent. As a matter of fact, Qiaoqiao had noticed earlier that President Zhang was very interested in Meng Cairu. Hence, she tried to set them up together by suggesting they y a game. As stated in the previous introduction, President Zhang hailed from Shanxi Province and was in the coal mining business. Because of that, he became rich after several years. Qiaoqiao¡¯s husband only managed to obtain the winning bid for this bar after President Zhang invested some of his money in it. Qiaoqiao knew that Meng Cairu did not have a boyfriend yet and she really liked wealthy guys. Seeing how both could mutually benefit each other, it was a match made in heaven. No woman would be able to resist the appeals of a wealthy man anyway, right? However, Qiaoqiao was wrong. She did not expect Meng Cairu to be such a violent person. Not only did she embarrass him, she even pped him as well. ¡°How dare y-you p me?!¡± Clearly, President Zhang had never been pped by another person before in his life. Therefore, a p and a ss of wine on his face was enough to stun him. ¡°So what if I did? You were groping me!¡± said Meng Cairu coldly with a disgusted look on her face. You think you are so high and mighty just because you have some f*cking money? Even if you are rich, how could you evenpare yourself to Ordinary Guy? ¡°Hmph, you b*tch! You are the first person who dared to p me. I tried to be courteous to you, yet you did not ept my goodwill. Today, if you do not satisfy me, I will not let you leave this bar alive!¡± Zhang Dashan flew into a rage and started flinging the sses onto the floor. Four or five bodyguards emerged beside him and surrounded Meng Cairu. She started to feel afraid. In fact, she regretted her actions after pping President Zhang. Although she was acquainted with Ordinary Guy, he was not someone whom she could easily reach out to. Seeing Zhang Dashan in front of her, she knew that he was definitely a rich and powerful man. She only felt afraid after she had calmed down. ¡°Then, what do y-you want me to do? Under no circumstances will I take off my clothes!¡± ¡°Hmph! Fine, if you don¡¯t want to undress, then drink up this bottle of red wine in one go. Otherwise, we are not done.¡± Zhang Dashan smiled evilly and opened the bottle of red wine right away before cing it beside Meng Cairu. ¡°Ok, you better keep your word!¡± Meng Cairu took a deep breath. She did not want any unfinished business here. Hence, she decided to force herself to drink up this bottle of red wine and leave. The moment she prepared to pick it up¡­ ¡°Meng, it¡¯s gettingte now, aren¡¯t you going back?¡± At this moment, Chen Hao pushed open the door of the private room and entered. Chen Hao was eavesdropping outside the door for quite some time now. All in all, he knew what was going on inside. That stupid fat man was going to get Meng Cairu drunk. As for the way he addressed her, Meng Cairu had reminded him on the way here to not address her as his counsellor because it would be too awkward. ¡°F*ck, where did this kide from? Get lost!¡± said Zhang Dashan viciously as his face turned dark after Chen Hao interrupted his fun. ¡°Well, I came here together with Meng and we have to go back together,¡± said Chen Hao casually. It wasn¡¯t as if Chen Hao was pretending to be kind. He wouldn¡¯t be able to live with himself if Meng Cairu was raped by another person just like that. Even if he wanted to punish her, he should be the one doing it, not them! In short, Chen Hao did not want to leave her here right now. ¡°Damn it, I think this kid is getting tired of living. Security! Get him out of my sight!¡± Zhang Dashan tore his shirt open, revealing a chest filled with tattoos. Right then, two or three bodyguards came to chase Chen Hao out. ¡°Wait a moment, Chen Hao, please wait for me outside. Here are my car keys. I will leave after I finish drinking this bottle of red wine. Please park the car outside and wait for me.¡± Meng Cairu then gave him a wink. Chen Hao had a driving license anyway, so she could allow him to drive her home if she had gotten drunk. Chen Hao nodded his head when he saw her wink. After all, thedy boss was still here and she was on good terms with Meng Cairu. Hence, she wouldn¡¯t allow her to be taken advantage of. With that, he took the car keys and left. Not long after Chen Hao left, two bodyguards were seen tailing behind him to the parking lot after Zhang Dashan gave them eye signals to follow behind Chen Hao. Chapter 132 The Bar Was Surrounded Chapter 132 The Bar Was Surrounded On the way to the parking lot, Chen Hao already noticed that he was being followed by two bodyguards who were dressed in ck suits and sunsses. Chen Hao knew what their intentions were. They were definitely here under the orders of Zhang Dashan. Chen Hao knew he could not take on the two guys as they looked well-trained. Hence, he secretly sent Li Feihong a text message asking him to get over here immediately. ¡°You better stop where you are, kid!¡± Chen Hao was getting ready to get into the car when he was suddenly surrounded by the two bodyguards. ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± Chen Hao asked rhetorically. ¡°Haha, what do you mean something¡¯s wrong? You really are an idiot, aren¡¯t you? Let me tell you something, if you understand the situation that you are in now, you shoulde along with us obediently. After our boss is finished with his business here, he will let you go naturally and you will suffer less.¡± ¡°However, if you do not do as we say, we will break your legs today.¡± The two bodyguards in ck suits were staring at Chen Hao as if he was a moron. This kid looked like a dimwit. Hence, they figured that he wouldn¡¯tst long. Originally, they brought along their batons as they were prepared to teach Chen Hao a lesson. However, it seemed like they could scare him by using words alone. Sigh! Both of them felt a little upset. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Why were they in charge of this kid while the rest of their colleagues got to stay behind with the boss? Based on their boss¡¯s perverted attitude, after he had finished raping her, he would definitely ask all of his underlings to participate as well. It was such a wasted opportunity! Both of them had seen Meng Cairu, and she was a gorgeous young woman. However, Chen Hao only smiled bitterly in an indifferent manner at this moment. ¡°Break my legs? You guys better think twice before doing that.¡± ¡°F*ck this sh*t. Enough of this nonsense and get into the car with us. We are going out for a drive in the suburbs.¡± One of the bodyguards pushed Chen Hao into the car and then the both of them got into Meng Cairu¡¯s car as well. There was a specially made car elevator as this was an underground garage. Chen Hao did not say anything anymore. Because he felt that five to six minutes had already passed, and the bar wasn¡¯t far from Imperial KTV. Li Feihong and the rest of them should be arriving here soon. Rumble! At this moment the elevator started to rumble and the doors of the elevator opened. ¡°Quick, drive the car inside the elevator, then¡­¡± ordered one of the guards coldly. Suddenly, he stopped speaking. Following that, his eyes grew wide as he stared at the scene in the elevator. Because at this moment, the car elevator was filled with a group of men in ck shirts. All of them were wielding knives and batons in their hands while giving him a dark, cold stare. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. What¡¯s happening?¡± Both of the bodyguards were dumbfounded. Stomp! Stomp! Following that, the sound of footsteps could be heard at the entrance of the underground garage. Then, they saw anotherrge group of people surrounding them. Judging by the situation, there were no fewer than a hundred people here. The leader of the gang, Li Feihong, scanned the scene in front of him in a cold manner with a piercing stare. ¡°Hey boss, what do you think is happening? Should we tell our Big Boss about this? Besides, this is the Jing Ling Commercial Street. It seems that they are here for us.¡± Both of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale. ¡°I think we should get down from the car first and ask them what is going on. I am sure that they won¡¯t do anything to us as they will keep to the code of conduct.¡± Thus, the both of them got down from the car. Chen Hao smiled bitterly and came down from the car as well. ¡°It¡¯s an honor to meet you, Young Master Chen!¡± When Li Feihong saw Chen Hao, he immediately bowed. At the same time, the hundred plus people behind him followed suit as well. Their resonant and synchronous voices reverberated throughout the underground garage. Both of the bodyguards were scared out of their wits. ¡°Young Master Ch-Chen?¡± At this moment, the two bodyguards looked at Chen Hao, their faces were full of terror. Wasn¡¯t he an insignificant part-timer? How could he actually be Young Master Chen? Damn it, did they nearly kidnap Young Master Chen? ¡°Feihong, do you know a guy named Zhang Dashan? He might have some perverted intentions towards my counsellor¡­ I mean friend. Could you help her out?¡± When Chen Hao sent a text message to Li Feng, telling him that he had met with some trouble at the underground garage and wanted Li Feihong to bring along a few people to help him out, he didn''t expect Li Feihong to actually amass a force of one or two hundred people in one go. If it weren¡¯t for a few familiar faces in the crowd, he would have jumped in fright. He originally thought these men were sent here by Zhang Dashan to deal with him. Did he really need to turn it into a battlefield? At that moment, Chen Hao told Li Feihong the events that transpired just now. ¡°Ok, Young Master Chen, I will give them a call,¡± said Li Feihong while nodding his head. He then went to make a call. After nodding his head twice, he hung up the phone. He looked a little bit anxious as he said, ¡°Young Master Chen, it seemed that Miss Meng was taken away by Zhang Dashan in a car!¡± ¡°Damn it, where did he take her?¡± Chen Hao''s eyes grew wide. As mentioned before, Chen Hao really hated Meng Cairu, but if he wanted to punish her, it should be done by him personally. Moreover, they dide to the bar together. If she were to get rape just like that, Chen Hao would feel really guilty about it. ¡°Give me five minutes, Young Master Chen. I will definitely find out their location.¡± If it was anything rted to Chen Hao, it definitely wasn¡¯t a small matter in the eyes of Li Feihong. Furthermore, this situation happened in Jin Ling Commercial Street. If he did not settle it properly, then he could really jump off a cliff. After giving his word, he pointed at the two dumbfounded bodyguards and asked, ¡°Do you know the location of Zhang Dashan¡¯s hotel?¡± ¡°Mr. Li, we don¡¯t know. We really don¡¯t have any knowledge about this. There are several hotels that Zhang Dashan could be staying at. However, Mr. Li, if you promise not to kill us, we could help you Both the bodyguards replied indifferently. However, you could detect their threatening tone underneath their indifference. After all, they had been in this field for a long time, and they were trained to be ruthless. Moreover, it wasn¡¯t the first time they have been in such a situation. ¡°Haha, I don¡¯t need your ideas! Kill these two person immediately!¡± Li Feihong waved his hands and his underlings came immediately to surround the two bodyguards and chopped them up to pieces. Following that, Li Feihong immediately brought some people over to the bar. A line of nearly two or three hundred people were seen making their way into the bar. They caused quite a stir in that ce. Everybody in the bar was dumbfounded. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. Isn¡¯t that Mr. Li?¡± ¡°Did anybody in this bar offend Mr. Li? Did hee here to settle something?¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re wrong. I heard that Mr. Li brought a few people here to find somebody. Shh! We better keep our voices down in case we get ourselves into trouble.¡± At this moment, the pleasant music in the bar was switched off. The staff and customers were gathered in the lounge area. All of them were curious to know what had happened. Some of the bolder ones wanted to take pictures and make a video recording of it. However, they immediately retracted their hands in fear when they saw the cold-blooded gaze of one of the bodyguards. In short, the atmosphere was very tense. ¡°The few of you there,e here and squat down!¡± Following that, a dozen bodyguards were seen bringing out several men and pushing them in front of Li Feihong. They were all Zhang Dashan¡¯s men. Moreover, thedy boss¡ªQiaoqiao¡ªand her husband were among them as well. Both of them remained silent as they were too afraid. Faced with Li Feihong¡¯s aggressive interrogation, Qiaoqiao was seen exining something to him but she eventually ended up in tears. ¡°Xiao, what¡¯s going on? Who is this young man? He is so intimidating!¡± Wang Xiaoti and her five friends watched the drama unfold. When they saw this domineering scene, their maiden hearts started to flutter. Didn¡¯t all girls just love a hero? ¡°He is Mr. Li from Jin Ling Commercial Street, also known as the most intimidating man in Jin Ling. He is Li Zhenguo¡¯s subordinate and is considered one of Young Master Chen¡¯s men. Xiao obviously knew a lot of insider secrets. Hence, at this moment, she was proudly exining the situation to them. ¡°Oh my God! So he is Li Feihong and one of Young Master Chen¡¯s men. No wonder he is so powerful!¡± eximed some of the girls with respect. Wang Xiaoti was also filled with respect for him. Wasn¡¯t it her most fervent wish to be acquainted with such a macho person? At that moment, she stood on top of the table and quietly observed the scene in front of her. Just then, a figure suddenly walked past her and squeezed himself into the crowd. Wang Xiaoti just happened to catch a glimpse of this figure. ¡°What the f*ck, Chen Hao? Why are you squeezing your way into the crowd?¡± Chapter 133 A Rescue From Ordinary Guy Chapter 133 A Rescue From Ordinary Guy When Wang Xiaoti saw Chen Hao, she squeezed through the crowd as well. Immediately, she scolded disdainfully. She had seen many of this sort of person. No matter where or what happened, as long as there was a big scene, there would always be busybodies. They would go up and ask about the situation, as if they wanted others to know how capable they were. It was obvious that Chen Hao was this type of person. ¡°Yes! What are you fronting for? Be careful, otherwise it''ll backfire!¡± One of her besties pointed at Chen Hao and said, ¡°I''ve had enough of this loser. Look, Xiaoti, he actually butted in!¡± Chen Hao didn''t care about them. Chen Hao arrived as soon as Li Hongfei finished asking about the situation. Of course, he had to follow and help to search for Meng Cairu. ¡°Young Master Chen, we have gotten the location. My men are going to get the car. Let''s go at once!¡± Li Hongfei saw that there were a lot of people and whispered to Chen Hao. But the word ¡®Young Master Chen¡¯ was overheard by Qiaoqiao and her friends. Immediately, they all stared in horror. Young Master C-Chen? Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Commercial Street? Damn! It had been spreaded among their circle that Young Master Chen was studying in Jin Ling College. He was very low-key so no one knew his identity. However, he had a very loud reputation in Jin Ling. How would Qiaoqiao and the gang not know about their CEO? Oh my God! It turns out that Young Master Chen is Meng Cairu''s student, and I even asked him to work for me? ¡°Young Master Chen, this is all just a misunderstanding!¡± Qiaoqiao quickly exined in embarrassment. Chen Hao ignored them and left the center of the crowd right away. Li Feihong even snorted coldly, ¡°Watch your tongue. I wille back and settle this with you!¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Arge number of people left in a hurry. The only one left behind was Qiaoqiao, whose face was pale with fright. ¡°Damn it! Chen Hao actually left with them. What did they say just now? That Mr Li seemed to be very polite to Chen Hao!¡± Although they couldn¡¯t hear what Chen Hao said to Li Feihong, it was pretty obvious that Li Feihong was very respectful toward Chen Hao. Wang Xiaoti and her friends were all dumbfounded. ¡°I don¡¯t know as well!¡± Wang Xiaoti said unconfidently. She didn''t know why, but suddenly she felt that Chen Hao was very handsome and domineering when he left with his big crowd of subordinates. A bold guess eventually popped up in Wang Xiaoti''s mind. This wild guess made her whole body tremble. Could Chen Hao actually be Young Master Chen? Ah! How is this possible?! Impossible! At the entrance of the bar, more than ten ck Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB were parked there. Chen Hao got into the car which was parked in the middle among the rest. The group of them rushed to a ce called Wander Dragon Hotel! At that moment, something was happening in one of the rooms in that hotel. ¡°N-no! Don¡¯t! H-h-help, help!¡± Meng Cairu was thrown fiercely onto the big waterbed. She was drunk, and she felt dizzy. Her whole body felt weak. With her remaining bit of consciousness left, she screamed weakly. ¡°Hahaha! My little beauty, go on and shout. Shout as loudly as you can. No one wille and save you even if you scream at the top of your lungs!¡± Zhang Dashan took off his clothes while smiling lustfully. He drooled as he looked upon the beauty on the bed. Ever since Zhang Dashan had been in business, he had endless pick-up tricks. As long as he fancied the woman, they could hardly escape him. What was more, this beautiful woman named Meng Cairu even dared to p him in public. This was the very first time. Not only did that fuel Zhang Dashan''s desire, it also gave him a thirst of vengeance. As for Meng Cairu¡¯s friend, Qiaoqiao, it was obvious which one she thought was more important between money and friendship. While he was at the bar just now, he signaled to her with only a look in his eyes, and she understood what he meant immediately! After all, he was the main investor of the bar that her husband ran. ¡°Hey beautiful, I aming!¡± Zhang Dashan was almost drooling as he rushed onto the bed impatiently. And just then. Bang! The hotel door was knocked down. Then, a group of people in ck rushed in. ¡°Sh*t! What happened?¡± Zhang Dashan was frightened and hurriedly hid aside. However, when he saw Li Feihong walking in, his eyes turned obsequious. ¡°Oh! It is you Feihong! Haha, have you not recognized your own people? Let¡¯s not have any misunderstanding between us.¡± Li Feihong''s fame in Jin Ling Commercial Street was absolutely of an emperor-like existence. Zhang Dashan often came to Jin Ling. So, how could he have not known that Li Feihong was a powerful man in Jin Ling? ¡°F*ck you, you just wait for your death!¡± Li Feihong kicked Zhang Dashan away. Looking at Meng Cairu on the bed, who was intoxicated, he said respectfully, ¡°Miss Meng, we are sorry about the terror that you faced. Someone sent us to save you!¡± After that, Li Feihong waved his hand. Immediately, a female doctor came to Meng Cairu. She covered Meng Cairu up and wiped her face with a warm towel. In less than half an hour, Meng Cairu had almost regained her consciousness. ¡°Mr. Li, thank you!¡± While sorting out her clothes in shock, Meng Cairu asked, ¡°Mr. Li, may I know who asked you toe and save me?¡± Meng Cairu stood up and asked nervously with a hint of excitement. Of course she was excited! At this critical moment, Li Feihong, a famous man in Jin Ling Commercial Street, rushed in with a group of his men and saved her. Furthermore, Li Feihong was acting respectful towars her. He was clearly instructed by someone. This meant that the one who gave him the order must be a more powerful man. As for her fake bestie, Qiaoqiao, Meng Cairu had automatically given her a ''PASS''. No doubt, Qiaoqiao was surely involved in putting her in such a dangerous situation. However, even if Qiaoqiao realized her conscience and decided to save her, she wasn¡¯t in any position for Feihong to be so respectful toward her! Therefore, before she did anything else, Meng Cairu decided to ask clearly. ¡°As for who it is, I''m afraid I can''t tell you. But he mentioned that in case you asked, I am to tell you that he is a person who likes to live ordinarily!¡± Li Feihong said. ¡°Ah! Was it Ordinary Guy?¡± Meng Cairu suddenly realized this. She was so excited and was about to jump up. A person who likes to live ordinarily, wouldn''t that be Ordinary Guy? Besides, she wouldn''t know any other powerful person other than Ordinary Guy! Everything seemed to be connected now. Didn''t someone previously guess that Ordinary Guy was actually Young Master Chen? Many of them didn¡¯t believe it. But from the looks of it, Ordinary Guy, the so-called Young Master Chen, seemed to be the only one who could make Li Feihong behave like this. This must be the case. The barunched today and Ordinary Guy came to have fun too. He must have witnessed the scene where I got bullied. Therefore, he immediately called and ordered someone toe and save me. This must be the case! Meng Cairu''s desperation and panic from earlier seemed to disappearpletely while being lost in her own thoughts. ¡°Miss Meng, our boss has ordered us to send you back to the college safely. You''d better go back first. As for the rest, just leave it to our subordinates!¡± Although I don''t know the rtionship between Meng Cairu and Young Master Chen, since he is willing to save her, they must have a close rtionship. It wouldn''t be a mistake if I tend to her carefully! Li Feihong thought to himself. ¡°Ok, Mr. Li, but before I leave, can you do me a favor?¡± Meng Cairu''s eyes suddenly nced coldly at Zhang Dashan who was in the corner of the walls. Li Feihong nodded. ¡°Sure!¡± ¡°Have your man lend me his electric stick!¡± As Meng Cairu spoke, she nced coldly at the lower half of Zhang Dashan¡¯s body. Following that, Zhang Dashan''s heart sank. ¡°W-w-what do you want to do?¡± Chapter 134 The Powerbank in the Car Chapter 134 The Powerbank in the Car Argh! A shrill scream resounded throughout the hotel. It was definitely a loud and powerful cry made by a man as if this was thest time he would ever scream. Indeed, this was a man¡¯s veryst scream! Meng Cairu took her bag and walked out of the room after she had finished. There were rows of bodyguards standing neatly on both sides of the corridor of the hotel. Meng Cairu was overwhelmed by excitement. Cool! It happened so fast when I was being rescued. When I had my revenge just now, Zhang Dashan didn''t even dare to resist, and his private parts have been electrocuted just like that. I feel so good! And now that I am out, there are so many bodyguards standing here with respect while waiting for me. It is just too satisfying! Is this how it feels to be able to rely on someone? Is this what it feels like to be with Ordinary Guy? Glory. Safety. This is really iparable to normal people! ¡°Miss Meng, please get into the car!¡± At the door, Li Feihong himself opened the door for Meng Cairu and invited her into the car. And the whole team drove away. As for Chen Hao? As a matter of fact, Chen Hao came along just now. When Li Feihong had confirmed the room and decided to go up with his subordinates, Chen Hao almost went up together. However, Chen Hao hesitated. If he had gone up, he would definitely meet Meng Cairu in person. What should he have said if he did? His identity as Young Master Chen would be exposed, wouldn¡¯t it? What would have been the point of hiding himself for so long? Besides, Li Feihong could handle everything by himself. It didn''t really matter if he went up or not. After he said a few words to Li Feihong, Chen Hao hailed a taxi and left. That was why Li Feihong passed those words to Meng Cairu. In the car, Meng Cairu crossed her legs and said to Li Feihong who was in the passenger seat, ¡°Mr. Li, thank you for what you¡¯ve done today. I''ll tell Ordinary Guy about your hard work!¡± Her voice was no longer polite, and instead there was a hint of a superiority. Hehe, although Li Feihong is very impressive, he is only Ordinary Guy¡¯s sidekick. If I act too polite toward him, wouldn''t I be downgrading myself? ¡°Thank you, Miss Meng! In addition, please inform Chen¡­ Ordinary Guy now, so that he knows that we havepleted the task!¡± Li Feihong could only smile and said. ¡°Ok,¡± Meng Cairu answered. She was too busy getting excited and had forgotten to contact Ordinary Guy. She logged into her WeChat and started to chat with Ordinary Guy. ¡°Ordinary Guy, is it you who saved me? Love you, I love you so much!¡± Chen Hao left Meng Cairu''s car at the bar and returned to the dormitory to rest. He knew that she was ¡°Ok¡±. ¡°I am so touched by what you did today! I really appreciate it! Well, I won''t say anything more, but, Ordinary Guy, you just have to remember that, I¡¯ll work hard to be your woman someday!¡± Meng Cairu excitedly typed this passage and sent it to him. ¡°Sh*t!¡± In the dormitory, Chen Hao immediately gave out a roar of shock. ¡°Ah? What''s the matter, Chen? Did you doze off? ¡°Nothing. I was just startled! I''m going to sleep. What a tiring day!¡± Chen Hao went to bed. ¡°Miss Meng, we have reached the school!¡± Li Feihong came down and opened the door for Meng Cairu. ¡°Ok,¡± Meng Cairu answered. She then got ready to get off. As for Chen Hao whom she brought to the bar, it seemed that she had long forgotten about him. However, when she left the hotel earlier, Meng Cairu had thought of Chen Hao. Her car keys were still with him. She nned to send Li Feihong to pick him up. But on second thought, if she let others know that someone as low as Chen Hao was her student, wouldn¡¯t she be disgraced? Therefore, Meng Cairu didn''t inform Chen Hao. She nned to return home and send a message to Chen Hao to ask him to take a taxi home. As for her car, it was better that he did not drive it! Her face was full of disgust! ¡°Ouch!¡± When Meng Cairu was getting out of the car, it seemed that she had sat on something. She winced as she touched her painful buttocks. ¡°What''s this in your car? It''s hurting me!¡± Meng Cairu grudged. Then, she dug from underneath her bottom. Meng Cairu was dumbfounded, Sh*t! It¡¯s a powerbank! ¡°What are you doing? Putting such a broken power bank in a luxurious car! Why haven''t you thrown it away?¡± Meng Cairu took it down. She was so angry that she almost lost the image of ady. She wanted to throw it straightaway into the garbage can. But she was stunned. ¡°Huh? Something¡¯s not right! This power bank...¡± Meng Cairu''s eyes widened as she looked at it carefully under the moonlight. She immediately gasped. ¡°Oh my God, isn¡¯t this my power bank?¡± That¡¯s right, it is my power bank. I bought it for 300 not long ago. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Why was she so sure? It was because there was a photo sticker of her on the power bank! If she hadn''t seen her photo sticker, Meng Cairu wouldn''t have thought about it. She usually ced this power bank in her car. When she went to the bar this afternoon, Chen Hao''s cell phone ran out of power. So she lent him the power bank. But how could this power bank mysteriously appear in this Rolls-Royce car? Did I identally drop it? How is that possible? Chen Hao only met with me but he never came even an inch near me. Even if he had secretly returned it to me, it''s still impossible! Besides, if he did return it, why would he do it secretly? In other words, the powerbank was not dropped by me. It''s Chen Hao. I don¡¯t know how, but he had left the power bank in the car¡­... The more she thought about it, the more pale Meng Cairu''s face turned. But why would Chen Hao appear in this car? What is his identity? W-w-what is going on? Don¡¯t tell me that¡­? Meng Cairu felt her mind was in a mess. ¡°Mr. Li, I want to ask you, do you know Chen Hao?¡± Meng Cairu asked with wide eyes as it seemed that she had thought of some possibilities. ¡°I don''t know him. What''s the matter?¡± Li Feihong replied unconsciously. At the same time, when Meng Cairu suddenly called out Chen Hao¡¯s name, it made Li Feihong a little nervous. ¡°Oh, the thing is, Chen Hao is a student of mine. I lent him this power bank in the afternoon, but I wondered why it appeared in your car.¡± ¡°Yes, this is the power bank you lent to Chen Hao. How could it appear in my car?¡± Li Feihong gulped secretly. How did it appear? Obviously, Young Master Chen must have identally left the power bank in the car when he left! ¡°I am asking you, Mr. Li!¡± It seemed that Meng Cairu was eager to know the answer. ¡°Oh, well, when we knew that you were in trouble, we went to the bar to find you. However, since we haven¡¯t seen you before, we went around finding out what you looked like. Then, someone said that the one in the photo sticker was you. Therefore, I took the power bank with me¡­¡± Li Feihong was an absolute upright and tough man. It was really hard for a guy like him to tell lies. ¡°Oh, I understand now!¡± Meng Cairu weighed the power bank in her hand. It seemed that it was Chen Hao who gave it to him. She then said goodbye to Li Feihong and went upstairs. But the more Meng Cairu thought about it, the more she felt that something wasn¡¯t right. Li Feihong seemed to have lied. Moreover, thest part of the sentence, though it might have sounded logical, it was wed. Something was not right! Chapter 135 Picking up My Aunt at the Airport Chapter 135 Picking up My Aunt at the Airport Wait a minute! Meng Cairu suddenly recalled the w in Li Feihong¡¯s words. He kept on insisting that he wanted to know how she looked. However, judging by the situation back then, he actually had countless ways to obtain that information. In addition to that, was it necessary to find out how she looked? Content held by N?velDrama.Org. That was because Meng Cairu had asked Li Feihong before how he managed to rescue her. He told her that he knew her location and the room number based on the information that was obtained from Zhang Dashan¡¯s underlings. Thus, he came directly to rescue her. So, why did he need to go to such lengths to find out how she looked? Moreover, how did Ordinary Guy know about this? Did he really go to the bar? Based on what she knew of his personality, he did not like that kind of ce. Furthermore, the only person who knew her location was Chen Hao! I¡¯ll be damned! Meng Cairu started to be restless, could it be... that Chen Hao was Ordinary Guy? Hahaha¡­ Meng Cairuughed suddenly. No way, how could this be possible? What was she thinking? There might have been some misunderstanding here. She would find Chen Hao tomorrow and ask him for an exnation. She was really anxious just now. However, her heart was finally put at ease with that thought. The night went by silently. Chen Hao woke upte the next day as it was a Saturday. He only opened his eyes when he heard his phone ringing. He took a look and noticed that the person calling him was Lin Yiyi. We have not contacted each other for a few days already. I wonder why she¡¯s contacting me today? Chen Hao thought to himself but he still answered the call. ¡°Young Master Chen, are you busy?¡± Lin Yiyi asked in a whisper. ¡°I am free, what¡¯s up?¡± asked Chen Hao. ¡°The thing is, Young Master Chen, did you remember thest time you helped me out once by pretending to be my boyfriend? Today, however, my aunt from Yun Gang City and some of my rtives from the Northern regions have decided toe to Jin Ling today to do some sightseeing and visit my father at the same time.¡± ¡°However, General Manager Zhao from the Commercial Street has two consecutive meetings today, and my father is in the meeting as well. Hence, I need to apany them for the day,¡± said Lin Yiyi as her words came out in a jumble. ¡°Oh, then you can have fun while apanying them. If you guys n to go to the Hot Spring Vi, I can arrange a luxury suite for you all,¡± said Chen Hao. Although he was beaten up by her in the beginning due to a misunderstanding between them, after going through a few things together, they finally became friends. Hence, Chen Hao answered in a straightforward manner. However, Lin Yiyi obviously did not find him for that purpose. ¡°Young Master Chen, I am not asking you to arrange our trip to the Hot Spring Vi. I wanted to ask you whether you are free today. If you are free, could youe along with me to apany them for some sightseeing?¡± ¡°You want me to apany them? Are you asking me to continue pretending to be your boyfriend? Yiyi, I had enough of this charade. So please don¡¯t make things difficult for me anymore!¡± Chen Hao immediately rejected her idea after he heard her intentions. He was really against it right now. Mainly because he was considering Su Tongxin¡¯s feelings and not for any other reason. Since he decided to be in a rtionship with Su Tongxin, he needed to consider her feelings when it came to these matters. However, Lin Yiyi started to sob over the phone. ¡°O-Ok then, Young Master Chen. In hindsight, how could a person like me ask so much of you? The main reason was that my aunt had told my cousins and all of my rtives that you were my boyfriend, and they wanted to meet you specifically. Fine, I will tell them the truth directly this time¡ªthat you are not my boyfriend, and that I am not worthy of you. I won¡¯t put you in a difficult position anymore,¡± said Lin Yiyi while crying. After listening to her words, Chen Hao felt sorry for her. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t stomach the sight of a girl crying in front of him, particrly if he was the reason behind her tears. At that moment, he scratched his head and smiled bitterly. ¡°Erm, don¡¯t cry. Let¡¯s do it this way, I shall apany you today. Just let me know the location and I will meet you there.¡± ¡°Ok, Young Master Chen. You are the best! Love you!¡± Her kissing sounds were heard over the phone. Erm¡­ Chen Hao agreed to her request as he wanted closure on this matter. As the saying went, ''From womb to tomb''. Since he decided to help her from the beginning, then he would have to help her till the end. Fine, I will just have to go then! Chen Hao changed his clothes. As it was gettingte, he decided to grab a cab to Lin Yiyi¡¯s location instead of driving, as there were just too many cars on the roads. Then, Lin Yiyi would arrange for the family¡¯s car to go to the Jin Ling Airport to pick her rtives up. At the same moment, a group of eight or nine men and women were seen standing in a line at the exit of Jin Ling Airport. There were some middle-aged people as well as some young and prettydies within the group. ¡°Aunt Lin, what is Lin Yiyi doing? Didn¡¯t we tell her that we would arrive at 9:30? It¡¯s almost 10:30 now, why isn¡¯t sheing yet?¡± ¡°Be patient, Wen Yun. Something must have held her up. Rest assured, I gave her a call just now and she ising to pick us up soon.¡± ¡°Haha, I came to Jin Ling once before in the past but it looks really different now. There must be so many interesting ces to visit. By the way, Hongxia, didn¡¯t you mention that Lin Yiyi brought her boyfriend over to your ce as a guest? How is he? You mentioned over the phone that he is not suitable for Lin Yiyi but you did not borate further,¡± said a middle-aged woman who looked like Lin Hongxia. Her name was Lin Hongju and she was Lin Hongxia¡¯s sister. She got married to someone from the Northern region. Currently, she was the general manager of a security firm with an annual sry of a few million. ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t bring up that poor loser in front of me again. I get angry whenever I think about it. That guy only won a few hundred thousand in the lottery tickets, and yet he actually had the audacity to brag about it. Furthermore, did you know that he came from a poor family? They are penniless. Did he think he could get something out of nothing? I initially wanted to introduce the son of my best friend, Wu Qiang, to Lin Yiyi so that they could get to know each other. In the end¡­ Sigh!¡± When Lin Hongxia thought of Chen Hao, she was filled with anger. Did he think that a person like him could marry into their Lin family? Hah! In his dreams! ¡°Mei absolutely refuses toe with us this time. I think the reason for it was because the sight of that guy disgusted her. Furthermore, after Chen Hao paid a visit to our house and attended the rich second generation dinner party aboard the cruise ship, Mei seemed down and had be less talkative. When I asked her why she was feeling down, she refused to tell me the reason at all,¡± Lin Hongxia said angrily. ¡°I bet she was disgusted by that poor loser.¡± ¡°Hahaha! Hong Xia, your mouth is getting more malicious by the minute. How could you say that about a child? However, I really wish to meet this Chen Hao. Is he really that disgusting?¡± Lin Hongju couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. ¡°Of course he is. He could not evenpare to my nephews-inw!¡± Apparently, there were three youngdies standing beside Lin Hongju along with three guys who were holding their hands. One of them looked to be about twenty-four to twenty-five years old, while the other two girls were about Lin Yiyi¡¯s age. All three of them had snow-white skin and an arrogant gaze to match. They were Lin Yiyi¡¯s cousins, and the guys standing beside them were their boyfriends. In addition to that, both the younger girls were Lin Hongju¡¯s daughters, while the slightly older young sightseeing trip. ¡°Mother, how could you say that my aunt has a malicious mouth. Hmph, I think nobody else has a more malicious mouth than you. My sister¡¯s ex-boyfriend nearly jumped to his death after hearing your ridicules,¡± said the fashionably-dressed youngest girl in the group at the moment. ¡°Go to hell, you stupid girl. I will beat you to death if you dare to spout such nonsense again. I was only telling the truth. His family¡¯spany only earns an annual profit of a few million. Did he think he was worthy to ask for my daughter¡¯s hand in marriage? Do you know how much is the annual profit of your father¡¯spany? Hmph!¡± Lin Hongju wore her sunsses and said coldly. The rest of them broke intoughter. ¡°Huh? Yiyi came!¡± One of the girls pointed to the outside of the exit where Lin Yiyi was seen heading toward their direction with Chen Hao in tow¡­ Chapter 136 I See the Mirage Chapter 136 I See the Mirage ¡°My dear aunties, I¡¯m so sorry that I amte,¡± said Lin Yiyi as she straightened her hair and gave them a smile. ¡°It¡¯s ok, you don¡¯t have to be so courteous.¡± Lin Hongju smiled, but at the same time her eyes were sizing Chen Hao up like a poisonous snake. ¡°Nice to meet you, Mrs. Lin and Lin Yiyi¡¯s cousins!¡± Chen Hao greeted them generously. ¡°So you must be Chen Hao, right?¡± Lin Hongju crossed her arms. She had her own impressions of Chen Hao after seeing him. He was quite a good-looking guy although he was dressed in ordinary clothes. However, he gave people the impression that he was a bumpkin, and he had no fashion sense at all. Lin Hongju couldn¡¯t help but shake her head helplessly. If this guy were to be her son-inw¡­ Not only would she ridicule him, she would also give him two ps in the face and ask him to get lost. ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Because of her initial impression of Chen Hao, Lin Hongju sounded indifferent when talking to him. ¡°Haha, I never expect you to look the same way you did after we haven¡¯t seen each other in such a long time.¡± On the other hand, Lin Hongxia sneered and scolded him straightaway. Lin Yiyi¡¯s three cousins were all pouting and shaking their heads at their boyfriends. The meaning behind their gesture was¡ªthey could not understand why their cousin had to find herself a guy like this to be her boyfriend. His overall appearance looked shabby, absolutely shabby! Chen Hao could only smile while he endured the criticism. It seemed that Su Mei and the rest of them did not breathe a word about his identity to their families ever since they went back home. Sometimes, he wondered if it would be better if they did. Sigh! ¡°Mrs. Lin, the car has been arranged. Let¡¯s get in the car first and they will drive you around,¡± said Chen Hao with a smile as he held his breath. ¡°Whatever! You¡¯re acting as if this car belongs to you! Tsk!¡± Lin Hongxia saw that Lin Yiyi was still holding Chen Hao¡¯s hands. At that moment, she came over in a huff and pulled Lin Yiyi¡¯s hands away from Chen Hao. Then, she turned on her heels and dragged Lin Yiyi away with her. Two luxurious MPVs were arranged in order to amodate therge number of people. After all of them were seated in the MPVs, they set out to the first scenic location in Jin Ling. ¡°Chen Hao, what are your ns after graduation?¡± In the meantime, everybody started chatting with one another. Unbeknownst to Chen Hao, the topic of conversation eventually shifted to himself. Lin Hongju put on a fake smile and asked. ¡°Hmm, I n to carve my own path in the future.¡± Chen Hao had learned from his previous lessons, that was¡ªhe should avoid telling them that he was not sure of his ns for the future. Splutter! Unexpectedly however, after Chen Hao finished his sentence, Lin Yiyi¡¯s cousins who were drinking their milk teas burst intoughter. Even their boyfriends were all shaking their heads bitterly. Originally, rumor had it that amongst their female rtives, Lin Yiyi, who was the prettiest one among them had found herself a boyfriend. Coincidentally, all three of them brought along their boyfriends as well. Since they were all cousins, they felt the need topare amongst themselves. In the beginning, all three cousins were a little bit anxious. They were afraid that their boyfriends could not hold a candle to Lin Yiyi¡¯s boyfriend. However, it seemed like they had been worried for nothing. Everybody felt at ease as they did not even consider Chen Hao to be a worthy opponent. ¡°Am I hearing it right? Do you think you can carve a path for yourself with your abilities? Do you think that society is a bed of roses?¡± Lin Hongju was speechless as she shook her head. This child was really impertinent in his manner of speaking. Did he not know the position that he was in currently? ¡°Aunt Lin, don¡¯t say that. It is good that Chen Hao has such an idea. However, his ideas are impractical. A college graduate like us should hone our skills in society first before thinking of bing an entrepreneur.¡± One of the cousins¡¯ boyfriend put down his milk tea andughed bitterly. They did not bother to address him politely anymore, instead they used his name directly. It was enough to convey the disdain they felt in their hearts. ¡°Wang Peng is right. This is what a sessful man should say. Wang Peng, why don¡¯t you go to your father¡¯spany to hone your skills then?¡± ¡°I do have that intention.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t n on working in my father¡¯spany as I n to build my own career.¡± At this moment, another one of the cousin¡¯s boyfriend piped up as well. ¡°Haha, Li Fei¡¯s idea is not bad too!¡± Lin Hongxia smiled and said, ¡°My dear sister, I can see that my two nieces are set for life. Now, I am worried about Mei and Yiyi. When will they be able to find a good boyfriend like Li Fei and Wang Peng? What¡¯s your opinion on it?¡± ¡°Ahem, Aunt Lin, you better watch what you say, Chen Hao is still here.¡± One cousin covered her mouth andughed. ¡°Haha, what can he do?¡± They were all chattering away. If Chen Hao were to hear any more of their ridicules, he would have picked up the milk teas on the table and sshed it on their face. At that moment, Chen Hao made an excuse when he saw their empty cups and said, ¡°I will go and buy some more milk teas, please continue your conversations.¡± Chen Hao left immediately after uttering those words. When Chen Hao left, both her cousins immediately surrounded her. Even her eldest cousin came over to have a word with Lin Yiyi as well. They were quite close to each other as they met up frequently every year. ¡°Yiyi, what¡¯s wrong with you? How could you find a guy like that to be your boyfriend?¡± ¡°She¡¯s right my dear cousin. He is just too shabby. Damn it! I don¡¯t feel like looking at him anymore.¡± One of her cousins nodded in agreement and said, ¡°I have enough of this too. If he were in my ss, I bet he would not have any friends at all.¡± All her three cousins said in unison. ¡°Don¡¯t judge a book by it¡¯s cover. Chen Hao is a nice and loyal person. Furthermore, he has his own way of thinking. Don¡¯t you guys think that this is part of his charms?¡± Lin Yiyi felt helpless. ¡°Yiyi, just wait until you step foot into society, then you will know the difference between the rich and the poor. Besides, this isn¡¯t just about the money. Even if Chen Hao was rich, he would be looked down upon by other people. Listen to my advice, and please break up with him as soon as possible. I will introduce you to another guy.¡± All three of her cousins came together to persuade her. Lin Yiyi only lowered her head and remained silent. Her actions made them sick with worry. Right at this moment, Chen Hao returned after buying the milk teas. He was carrying about seven to eight cups of it. ¡°Mrs. Lin and Lin Yiyi¡¯s cousins, please have some milk tea as the weather is very hot.¡± After taking a walk, Chen Hao¡¯s temper had dissipated. Moreover, these were Lin Yiyi¡¯s rtives, so there was no reason why he had to get angry with them. ¡°Forget about it, we do not want to drink it anymore. You can drink it by yourself.¡± All her three cousins shook their heads silently. ¡°We won¡¯t drink it as well as we are not thirsty anymore.¡± Both Lin Hongxia and her sister also shook their heads. ¡°Ok, Yiyi, I think we are almost done here. Let¡¯s go to the next stop,¡± said Lin Hongxia. ¡°Ok, Aunt Lin, we will drive along the mountain trail and enjoy the scenic view of the mountains. Then, we will head over to the Hot Spring Vi to have our lunch,¡± said Lin Yiyi while nodding her head. Since Chen Hao did not say anything about his identity, it would be better if she did not bring this topic up. Everybody walked back toward the MPVs. The moment they wanted to enter the MPVs, one of her cousins suddenly said to her boyfriend, ¡°Oh my, I am thirsty. Could you please buy me some milk tea? Remember to buy a few extra cups as well.¡± ¡°Yes, I would like one as well. Please don¡¯t put too much ice in it. I can¡¯t drink it if it is too cold,¡± Lin Hongju said while smiling. ¡°Ok, I will go buy them now.¡± Wang Peng immediately sprinted off. Chen Hao could only carry the milk teas he had bought and smile bitterly as he shook his head. Was it because of his poverty that made the milk teas he bought not worthy enough to quench their thirst? The MPVs eventually drove off and made their way up the mountain trail. Chen Hao did not say anything further. He only sat in the passenger seat and yed with his phone. At this moment, Lin Yiyi¡¯s cousins and Lin Hongju poked their heads out of the car in surprise as they pointed at the mountain scenery and started discussing it. ¡°Wow, it''s so beautiful. Mother,e quickly and take a look. The mountain scenery is so mesmerizing!¡± Everybody eximed in delight. ¡°Yes, it is very beautiful indeed. I haven¡¯t been to Jin Ling in such a long time, and just by looking at this N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. mountain scenery alone is enough to make me feel happy and rx,¡± said Lin Hongxia happily with a smile on her face. ¡°Ah! Stop the car! Stop the car quickly! Mum, Aunt Lin,e take a look quickly. Do you see what I see? It looks like a mirage!¡± One of her cousins pointed to a spot and started shouting with delight. She immediately called up her other cousins who were sitting in the other car behind them. ¡°What? A mirage? Let me see!¡± After they stopped the car, the whole entourage got down to take a look. Not too far above the mountaintops, an ancient but luxurious looking building surrounded by a cloud of swirling mist appeared before their eyes. The building looked as if it was floating on the clouds, thereby giving it an ethereal look. ¡°It¡¯s magnificent, absolutely magnificent! But it doesn¡¯t look like a mirage, right?¡± Lin Hongju nearly leaped up in delight. She immediately took out her camera to take some pictures of it. Not only was she the general manager of a security firm, she was also a photography enthusiast. ¡°Yes, my dear aunt, that is not a mirage but a manor located at the highest peaks of Jin Ling¡ªThe Cloud Manor!¡± ¡°What? The Cloud Manor?¡± Chapter 137 A Low-Key Punch in the Face Chapter 137 A Low-Key Punch in the Face "Oh, I know. Is this the Cloud Mansion that was widely mentioned among the rich some time ago? The one that Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen bought for 8 billion?¡± ¡°Oh my God! So this is it! It''s spectacr!¡± ¡°By the way Yiyi, since your family is affiliated with Jin Ling Commercial Street, can you take us to the foot of the mountain where this Cloud Mansion is?¡± Both cousins were very envious. Lin Yiyi looked at Chen Hao. She nodded when she saw that he had no objections. The crowd soon arrived there. asionally, there would be security guards hired specially to look after the Cloud Mansion when Chen Hao was not around. When they were halfway up the mountain, there were already two security guards standing there who stopped them from going forward. ¡°What are you doing? No admittance here. This is not a scenic attraction!¡± The two security guards were in their thirties and looked very strict. Lin Hongxia snorted and asked, ¡°Hmph, we aren''t just any ordinary people. This little beauty here is Lin Yiyi, the daughter of the Lin family in Jin Ling Commercial Street. Can''t we go in and have a look? Isn''t it rumoured that Young Master Chen hasn''t moved in yet?¡± ¡°Oh! It¡¯s Miss Yiyi from the Lin family. Please forgive us. We have just recognized you now!¡± The Commercial Street and Hot Spring Vi belonged to the same management. They were hired by Zhao Zixing, and naturally, they had to know some important people in Jin Ling Commercial Street. When they saw Lin Yiyi, who was standing beside Chen Hao, the two bodyguards immediately put on a smile. ¡°Miss Yiyi, to tell you the truth, we are only gatekeepers for Young Master Chen. No one is allowed to enter the mansion, and if General Manager Zhao knows about this, we will be doomed. However Miss Yiyi, it¡¯s fine for you to look at the scenery around as long as you don¡¯t enter the mansion.¡± Most of the people who wanted to go up the mountain to have a look were people of high social status. For instance, just a few days ago, Young Master Huang, who often brought people up here to have fun, even imed that Young Master Chen was his godbrother. Of course, whether it was true or not, the guards didn¡¯t dare to stop Young Master Huang. As for the mansion, no one had dared to enter. Since Lin Yiyi was here on behalf of the Lin family, the two security guards did not dare to stop them. After looking at Chen Hao who had not spoken anything, Lin Yiyi said again, ¡°Em, alright. We will just go up the mountain and look around!¡± ¡°Moreover, Miss Yiyi, aren¡¯t there a little too many people with you today? If all of you go up together, we will lose our jobs if the managers see this!¡± The security guard hesitated again. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you security guards?! You nag too much. There are too many of us, am I right? Fine, we¡¯ll just leave one behind. Only the nine of us will go up the mountain to have a look!¡± Lin Hongju said bluntly in a cold manner. So who should stay behind? Obviously, it had to be Chen Hao. Chen Hao was also speechless. Was it so difficult to go up and have a look at his own house? Furthermore, Chen Hao was not nning to be courteous to Lin Yiyi''s rtives anymore. At first, although Chen Hao was ridiculed, he intended to get along with them in a low-key and peaceful manner. But it was no use! They didn¡¯t care about him at all! ¡°Ok then, it''s decided. Come on Yiyi, let''s go!¡± ¡°Let''s go. It''s useless for him to go up anyway. He should consider himself lucky if he can buy a normal house. It¡¯s pointless for him to go look at the mansion!¡± Lin Hongxia sneered, and they all went up the mountain excitedly. Chen Hao justughed bitterly and shook his head. Of course he won''t stay behind. Since he was here, he wanted to see if Zhao Zixing hadpleted the renovation. ¡°F*ck! What the hell do you think you¡¯re doing?¡± Unexpectedly, he was pushed aside by the security guards. Chen Hao was shocked. ¡°Huh? You don''t know me?¡± Chen Hao had imagined that the security guards would recognize him since they were from the Hot Spring Vi. And so, he thought that they must have been specially instructed to pretend not to recognize him even if they saw him. But now, it seemed like they really didn¡¯t know him! ¡°You? Who are you for us to recognize you? Boy, who do you think you are? Why are you so troublesome?¡± The two security guards continued to taunt, ¡°From the way you look, you must be a boy toy, or a punching bag! Hahaha!¡± ¡°Y-y-young Master Chen!¡± At this time, a silvery female voice with a tone of respect sounded from the foot of the mountain. Gasp! The two security guards stoppedughing when they saw that beautying up. And their foreheads were covered in cold sweat. What did she call him? Young Master Chen? Chen Hao turned his head to look and couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Tang Ran, it¡¯s been awhile!¡± The woman who came was the designer of the Cloud Mansion as well as the housekeeper of the vi now. There were also several of Tang Ran''s best friends by her sides, whom he had metst time when he bought the mansion. The one named Xu Na also followed her here. ¡°Good day, Young Master Chen!¡± When Xu Nan and the gang looked at Chen Hao, there was no more contempt in their eyes. Instead, there was only ttery. After all, it was very rare to meet a rich guy who had control over Jin Ling Commercial Street, yet at the same time, was low-key and down to earth. This made them think that as long as they were willing to work hard, they would have a chance. What chance might that be? Obviously it was the chance to be married into wealth! ¡°Yes, my sister asked me about you yesterday. But don''t you worry, Young Master Chen. I haven''t N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. disclosed any of your information at all!¡± Tang Ran said hurriedly. Chen Hao kinda understood. It must be that after he had left that day, Tang Chu and her friends went back to the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant for dinner. Haha, of course, there would have been no discounts or freebies for them if they went back again. Therefore, he must have caught Tang Chu''s attention, and prompted her to investigate him! ¡°Quit mentioning that sister of yours. She is so much meaner than you!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly, ¡°Did you bring them here to look around too?¡± Tang Ran blushed, and her ears were red as she nodded. Indeed, she had decided to bring her friends up to look around as they had been begging her for a long time. She never thought that she would bump into Young Master Chen! Chen Haoughed bitterly, ¡°Ok then,e along now! Might as well apany me to the mansion to see how¡¯s the renovation going on!¡± Tang Ran immediately took out another spare key carefully from her bag and gave it to Chen Hao. Chen Hao held the key. And then, under the stare of the two dumbfounded security guards, he went up the mountain. ¡°Hurry up Yiyi, help us take some photos!¡± ¡°I want to be nearer to the mansion¡¯s gate. I have to post it online and let my friends see. Haha!¡± ¡°Yiyi, help us take some photos too!¡± Lin Hongxia and the rest were having fun in front of the Cloud Mansion¡¯s gate. The scenery on the mountain and the luxurious mansion were really breathtaking! The three cousins were also very happy. However, at this time, they spotted Chen Hao who also came up the mountain. ¡°Oh my God, why is Chen Hao here?¡± ¡°Sh*t, did he sneak up secretly? It would be so embarrassing if he was found out!¡± the three sisters said worriedly, holding their shoulders. Lin Hongxia frowned, resting her hands on her waist, and asked, ¡°Chen Hao, how did youe up? Did you sneak up from somewhere? My god. If you want to take a look, you can ask Yiyi to send you a video of it. What did you sneak up for?¡± ¡°Ahem, everyone, if I had note up, how would you be able to go inside and see the interior of this mansion? Let me do my best as andlord and treat you to some milk tea!¡± With one hand holding the milk tea that no one was willing to drink, Chen Hao used his other hand to press on the remote attached to his key. Beep. And there was it. The gate of the Cloud Mansion opened automatically! ¡°What?¡± ¡°Sh*t!¡± Chapter 138 Lin Yiyi’s Worries Chapter 138 Lin Yiyi¡¯s Worries Everybody was shocked. ¡°Young Master Chen, may I know who they are?¡± Tang Ran came over to Chen Hao¡¯s side. Then, she asked him in surprise when she saw his entourage. Tang Ran was jealous especially when she saw that Lin Yiyi was a stunning young woman. In short, she felt envious. However, this put Chen Hao in a difficult position. He couldn¡¯t tell her that Lin Yiyi was his girlfriend, because what if Tang Ran told Su Tongxinter? Wouldn¡¯t he bending himself in trouble then? ¡°I will tell you all about itter. These are my guests, so can you arrange for somebody to tend to them?¡± Chen Hao smiled casually. ¡°Ok, Young Master Chen.¡± Tang Ran nodded her head. Lin Hongxia waspletely dumbfounded when she kept hearing Tang Ran calling him Young Master Chen. ¡°Wh-What? Are you Young Master Chen? The Young Master Chen of Jin Ling?¡± Lin Hongxia nearly screamed out loud. ¡°Yes, I am, Mrs. Lin!¡± Chen Hao smiled with amusement. ¡°Yiyi, is this true?¡± Lin Hongju asked in surprise as she felt that she had made a fool of herself. The poor loser that they had been ridiculing along the way was actually Young Master Chen! Lin Yiyi nodded her head in earnest. All her three cousins inhaled sharply. They obviously heard of Young Master Chen¡¯s name numerous times. Unexpectedly, he was standing right here in person in front of them. The feeling of regret started to well up inside the hearts of the few people. Moreover, they were even bragging in front of him just now. s, they were nothing but a clown to him. Following that, the atmosphere started to be lively and Chen Hao became the topic of conversation again. The only difference was this time around, they agreed to everything that Chen Hao said. They were obviously acting out of fear. Chen Hao chuckled to himself as he knew that he had made them look like aplete fool this time. It was better this way since he did not want any trouble from themter. ¡°Young Master Chen, have theypleted the renovation works on the manor? May I know when you are moving in?¡± Tang Ran asked in a whisper before they left. ¡°I will move in within the next few days. Zhao Zixing is a very efficient guy. He told me that he would get it done within seven days, but hepleted it within six!¡± answered Chen Hao before bringing Lin Yiyi and the rest of the entourage down the mountains. ¡°Chen Hao, where are you? I would like to have dinner with you at the cafeteria tonight. I need to tell you something.¡± Su Tongxin suddenly sent him a WeChat message. Chen Hao nearly jumped in fright when he saw this, as he felt guilty for doing something he shouldn¡¯t have. ¡°Oh, I am still on campus grounds. Ok, I will wait for you in the canteen tonight.¡± Chen Hao quickly replied. ¡°Erm, Yiyi, something came up and I need to return to my college. I won¡¯t be apanying your aunts anymore. You can bring them to the Hot Spring Vi tonight,¡± said Chen Hao casually. ¡°It¡¯s ok, young man. Please go and settle your business and don¡¯t mind us. We are all adults here, so don¡¯t you worry,¡± Lin Hongxia said with a smile. ¡°She is right, young man, sorry to trouble you today. Hey! You three,e here and say your goodbyes to your cousin-inw. He is leaving soon.¡± Lin Hongju chimed in and even scolded Lin Yiyi¡¯s three cousins who were feeling quite embarrassed at the moment. ¡°Cousin-inw, please don¡¯t mind us and go settle your business.¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. All three cousins said in unison and they even gave Chen Hao some alluring smiles. It would be an exaggeration to say that they were flirting with him. However, they really did have other intentions in mind. They felt that he wasn¡¯t just a good looking person. Looking at him now, he looked so handsome even if he dressed modestly. No matter how you looked at him, he was even more handsome than their boyfriends. ¡°Erm¡­¡± Chen Hao could not stand their enthusiasm, hence he left quickly. Did Chen Hao hate them? It was out of the question. After all, Lin Yiyi and him were just putting on a show for everyone to see. ¡°Oh my God, Yiyi, Chen Hao is actually Young Master Chen! Why didn¡¯t you tell us? I nearly offended himpletely just like your aunt did just now.¡± Lin Hongxia pped her hands in delight. Lin Hongju was upset when she heard those words. ¡°Hongxia, you were the one that spoke those poisonous words andpletely offended Young Master Chen. Why are you directing the me toward me? If you don¡¯t believe it, just ask my daughters.¡± Then, she turned toward her daughters and asked, ¡°When I spoke to Chen Hao just now, I was tactful in my manner of speaking, wasn''t I? Your aunt was the one who ridiculed him.¡± Her daughters did not know how to answer her questions. Luckily, her future son-inw, Wang Peng, said, ¡°I think so, Mrs. Lin. However, when Young Master Chen left just now, he was still friendly toward us. I don¡¯t think he will make a fuss out of this.¡± Lin Hongju looked at Wang Peng with disgust. ¡°Look at your revolting behavior! I am asking my daughters a question, not you! Did you think that you can brag around just because of your small fortune? You are such a petty person. Why don¡¯t you learn a thing or two from Chen Hao? He is such a mature and steady guy.¡± Wang Peng nearly turned red with anger. Li Fei, who was the boyfriend of her other cousin, only smiled. ¡°What are you smiling for? You think you are any better? You pretend to be mature and introverted all the time. You could only do that if you are rich. You good for nothing piece of trash. Stay away from my daughters, the both of you!¡± Lin Hongju raged on. After meeting Young Master Chen today, Lin Hongju only realized that both her future sons-inw were a couple of low-standard people¡ªno wait, not low-standard people, they weren¡¯t even considered humans! Lin Hongxia did not bother about her sister anymore. She turned around and held Lin Yiyi¡¯s hands. ¡°Yiyi, we need to get along well with each other from now on. By the way, I have not been to the Hot Spring Vi before. Since Chen Hao had given us the green light, can you show us around?¡± ¡°Yes, Yiyi, show us around.¡± ¡°I am not in the mood now. You guys go ahead by yourselves.¡± Lin Yiyi replied to them in an apathetic manner. Her voice sounded very cold. It wasn¡¯t directed at her aunts personally. Lin Yiyi sounded like that because her emotions were in a turmoil. Because a while ago, when Lin Yiyi was sitting together with Chen Hao, she happened to see the WeChat message that Chen Hao received. It was from a girl named Su Tongxin. She wanted Chen Hao to apany her for a meal. And then, Chen Hao lied to her by saying that he was still within the campus grounds and quickly made his way back there. Chen Hao did not even have the guts to tell her that he was with another woman. Moreover, it was obvious that Chen Hao really cared about her. She felt a sudden stabbing pain in her heart. To put it bluntly, why did she have to ask Chen Hao repeatedly for his help in the first ce? Did she really need his help? Furthermore, she could have found anybody to be her boyfriend, so why did it have to be him? Why did she have to find Chen Hao? Wasn¡¯t it because she wanted to create more opportunities to be together with Chen Hao? However, just by looking at his anxious face just now, she knew right away that Su Tongxin was all he ever cared about. Hence, Lin Yiyi was in a daze right now. She did not want to do anything else and wanted to be alone right now. Meanwhile, Chen Hao had reached his college and was rushing to the entrance of the cafeteria. The moment he arrived, he immediately sent Su Tongxin a WeChat message. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you reached the cafeteria yet? I am still waiting for you by the entrance.¡± Chen Hao recalled a technique that Ma Xiaonan and Yang Hui taught him, which was, ¡®To retreat in order to advance¡¯. However, he did not know whether the technique was the real thing or a sham. ¡°Hmph, I will reach there soon. Our Broadcasting Department meeting just ended. Hehe, I am sorry for making you wait.¡± Su Tongxin replied apologetically. This technique is useful indeed! Chen Hao thought to himself. ¡°Hey, did you guys hear about the rumors? One of the girls nearlymitted suicide today.¡± At this moment, Chen Hao overheard a topic of discussion by a group of girls who happened to walk past him. Chapter 139 The Disturbance in the Cafeteria Chapter 139 The Disturbance in the Cafeteria ¡°Huh? Why did she try tomit suicide?¡± The girl sniggered. ¡°Because she took it too hard when Young Master Zhao rejected her confession.¡± ¡°Oh I see. Sigh. Young Master Zhao has been getting more and more confessionstely. However, from what I¡¯ve heard, there seems to be a girl who was close to Young Master Zhao these past two days.¡± ¡°Damn it, I am so envious of her. Who is the girl that managed to win over Young Master Zhao¡¯s heart? How could she be so lucky?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about the other girls as I only have one goal in mind¡ªthat is Young Master Chen!¡± said one of the cold-looking but stunning youngdies. ¡°Hey! Young Master Chen is not someone we could see or touch. So, how can hepare to Young Master Zhao who is right here in his flesh and blood?¡± ¡°Damn it, is there something wrong with you? Why are you blocking the entrance of the cafeteria? Look at his idiotic behavior! Why doesn¡¯t he take a look at himself in the mirror!¡± The girls were discussing in a loud manner. Not only did they shoot Chen Hao a re, they even mocked him as well. Tsk! Chen Hao harrumphed coldly and did not bother about them. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao!¡± At this moment, Su Tongxin came over and held Chen Hao¡¯s hands immediately, as if they were in a rtionship. The story of how their rtionship began was a bit strange. After the misunderstandingst time, Su Tongxin knew that Chen Hao had feelings for her and vice versa. That night, Chen Hao asked her, ¡°Do you want to be my girlfriend?¡± And Su Tongxin replied, ¡°Haven¡¯t I always been?¡± There were no borate confessions nor any dramatic stories. They ended up being in a rtionship just like that. In regards to Su Tongxin''s shy admission that she had always been his girlfriend, Chen Hao couldn''t care less whether she meant being his fake girlfriend or his real girlfriend. He was content to leave things just the way they were. ¡°Let¡¯s go and have our dinner. What should we eat tonight?¡± asked Su Tongxin. ¡°I want to eat some braised pork!¡± The two of themughed and chatted along the way to the cafeteria. Many guys felt envious when they saw this. How could a pretty girl like her be in a rtionship with a guy like him? This was absurd! The braised pork and a few tes of vegetables were served. Chen Hao sat opposite Su Tongxin and ate their dinner together. There were many people sitting beside them. Their topic of conversations revolved around the life of Young Master Zhao and those who had failed in their pursuit of him and much more. Chen Hao nearly fainted from the overload of information. ¡°Young Master Zhao really keeps a high-profile huh? Did he reallye here for his studies?¡± asked Chen Hao with a bitter smile. ¡°Haha, did you think that everybody was raised in poverty for so many years like you? He was pampered and spoiled in luxury the moment he was born. By the way, Chen Hao, how rich and powerful is your family? You never told me about it!¡± asked Su Tongxin softly. She wasn¡¯t a materialistic girl, but she was very curious about the extent of his family¡¯s power. After all, what kind of power did they wield to be able to mobilize a helicopter and even let Chen Hao spend his money endlessly. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about my family¡¯s background. I only know that we are so wealthy that no matter how much we spent, we wouldn¡¯t be able to finish the family¡¯s fortune at all,¡± replied Chen Hao honestly. ¡°Pfft! I don¡¯t believe that you have that kind of endless wealth!¡± Su Tongxin felt that Chen Hao was exaggerating. However, he was speaking the truth. It was a lively atmosphere as they continued their bickering. At this moment, a number of screams suddenly erupted in the canteen. It was almost as if a bomb had been set off and that made Chen Hao jump in fright. The moment he lifted his head to take a look, he saw a group of people making their way towards the cafeteria. The person who was heading in their direction wasn¡¯t just an ordinary guy. He was none other than Zhao Shan, who was also known as Young Master Zhao. The entire atmosphere was akin to the appearance of a megastar in the public square. ¡°Young Master Zhao, I love you, please ept me!¡± one of the girls cried out unabashedly. ¡°Young Master Zhao, what should I do to be your girlfriend? Please tell me, I beg of you!¡± ¡°Wow, I want to take a picture quickly!¡± The girls who were bold enough to scream out their love for him were often the ones who loved to dress themselves up. However, Zhao Shan seemed used to it. ¡°I only came here to apany my friends to have their meals. There is no need to make such a fuss!¡± Young Master Zhaoughed bitterly. Immediately following that, he turned his attention toward the entrance behind him. Two girls walked out amidst the scrutiny of the crowd and stood beside him. Spluttered! Chen Hao nearly spat out the spoonful of soup he just drank at Su Tongxin¡¯s face when he saw the two people who entered the cafeteria. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned!¡± Chen Hao was shocked. The two girls were obviously stunning, and they were none other than Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao. ¡°Oh my God, could this be Young Master Zhao¡¯s girlfriend? Why? Just because she looks a little bit beautiful doesn¡¯t give her the right to be his girlfriend!¡± ¡°How dare she seduce him? It¡¯s so disgusting!¡± some of the girls scolded in anger. ¡°She is not his girlfriend. Didn¡¯t you hear what he said just now? She is only his friend! His friend! This means that we still have a chance.¡± ¡°Yifan, Jiao,e take a seat. To be honest, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that both of you love the food in this cafeteria, I would never havee here. This is the first time Iy my eyes on a college cafeteria since I was born. So this is how it looks! Hahaha!¡± said Zhao Shan whileughing. They were seated in the most central table of the canteen. Meanwhile, Zhao Yifan only straightened her hair casually and gave him a smile before sitting down. Obviously, she did not want to say anything anymore. In reality, Zhao Yifan was deeply hurt by Zhuang Qiang and Chen Hao. Therefore, although Zhao Yifan was obviously excited that the infamous Young Master Zhao of Jin Ling College was giving her hints that he was pursuing her, she only acted indifferently. She would not be the girl who''d take the first initiative anymore. Moreover, to be honest, Young Master Zhao thought that just because he was rich, he could get her into bed with him. That was never going to happen. She wanted to be loved and not to have a one night stand. At least until the day she got married, Zhao Yifan would want to keep her virginity. In addition to that, she was down in the dumps for the past few days after she was dumped by Chen Hao. At the same time, she convinced herself that she might have been thinking too much. Could Chen Hao be that powerful as she thought he was? NO Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Absolutely not! After getting acquainted with Young Master Zhao, Zhao Yifan realized that Chen Hao might not be as powerful as she thought he was. He was just rich. She had obviously thought too highly of Chen Hao! Compared to Young Master Zhao, Chen Hao¡¯s behaviors wereparable to an elementary school student. It was indeed a joke! Especially since Zhao Yifan enjoyed the thrill of being the center of everybody¡¯s admiring gaze right now. That loser Chen Hao couldn¡¯t possibly provide her with these things. Lin Jiao also enjoyed the thrill that came with being the center of attention. At this moment, her face was filled with arrogance. ¡°Hey, are you still with me?¡± Su Tongxin reached out her hands and waved a few times in front of Chen Hao, then she angrily set her chopsticks down. ¡°Huh? Yes!¡± Chen Hao quickly exined. ¡°I was just curious how Zhao Yifan got acquainted with Young Master Zhao.¡± ¡°Hmph! I don¡¯t think so. I think you are jealous. Two days ago, Zhao Yifan still loved you and now she obviously has feelings for another person. I bet you feel upset about it,¡± Su Tongxin frowned and said. ¡°I don¡¯t feel upset. If I were to feel upset, it would be because I feel sorry for Zhao Yifan as she was originally a nice girl. She just likes to curry favor with the rich and treat the poor with disdain. I am afraid that she would give up on herself after going through so much pain.¡± Chen Hao was telling her the truth. ¡°Other than you, who could have upset her that way?¡± Su Tongxin wanted to get to the bottom of this. ¡°There was a guy that she knewst time. He was the one who upset her the most. Haha, let¡¯s put it all behind us and not speak about it anymore. Come, let¡¯s eat.¡± Chen Hao shook his head helplessly. However, before he had taken two bites of his rice, a single peanut suddenlynded next to his table. Who was it? Who had so much time to be fooling around? Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but curse quietly in his heart. Then, another peanutnded beside his table again. Chen Hao was sure this time that somebody was ying a joke on him. When he lifted his head to take a look, he saw an arrogant-looking Lin Jiao who was dressed from head to toe in branded apparels. She was in the midst of using her chopsticks to pick up a peanut, and she was sneering at him¡­ Chapter 140 My Roommate Is in Trouble Chapter 140 My Roommate Is in Trouble Lin Jiao looked as if she meant, ¡®Chen Hao, I bet you never expected that I, Lin Jiao, would be the person I am today¡ªthe godsister of a wealthy person like Young Master Zhao.¡¯ He even bought me clothes, handbags and much more. Lin Jiao wanted to get back at Chen Hao for all the embarrassment he caused her in the past. Of course, Chen Hao ignored her and continued eating his meal. Naturally, Zhao Yifan noticed what Lin Jiao was doing. In fact, Zhao Yifan had noticed Chen Hao the moment she walked into the canteen. However, she only nced at him sulkily. Nevertheless, Chen Hao really did have something to do with her acquaintance with Young Master Zhao. When Chen Hao dumped her for Su Tongxin in the garden that day, she left in a fit of anger and embarrassment, and it was then she happened to bump into Young Master Zhao. They became good friends after Young Master Zhao added her as a friend on WeChat. It was precisely because of her acquaintance with Young Master Zhao that the harm Chen Hao caused to her self-esteem in the past finally dissipated. So, there was no reason for Zhao Yifan to bother about him anymore. She could always find other guys that were a hundred times better than him. Take that, Chen Hao! ¡°Oh yeah, Tongxin, you said you have something to tell me? What is it?¡± asked Chen Hao as he ate, turning his attention back to the present moment. ¡°Oh yeah! It¡¯s about the three-month training course that we will be attending at the television station in Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. I have already registered for it as I want to hone my skills. Then, after I return to Jin Ling at the end of the course, I think it¡¯s about time for me to find a job and start my internship,¡± said Su Tongxin. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned! Why so sudden?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. ¡°I only received the notice this morning, and immediately after that, the registration process started. Didn¡¯t I tell you that I was in a meeting just now? I have been stuck in that meeting since I signed up for the training course. The entire course is three months long. I too want to just remain in Jin Ling, but I do not want to live in the shadow of my family, especially yours, Chen Hao. I want to improve myself,¡± said Su Tongxin determinedly. Chen Hao nodded his head glumly. ¡°You¡¯re right. We are still young and it would be better if we can acquire some additional knowledge or skill sets as well. You are not the only one with that mindset, I have a future study n for myself as well.¡± Although it wasn¡¯t considered a break up, Chen Hao still felt that three months of separation was a long Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. time, and he was reluctant to let Su Tongxin go. ¡°You can visit me anytime. It¡¯s not as if I have disappeared,¡± said Su Tongxin with a smile as she held Chen Hao¡¯s hands. ¡°Ok, I promise that I wille visit you whenever I am free.¡± He heard from his sister that the core of their family¡¯s business was in the Southern region. So, their family must have quite a few businesses in Hong Kong, right? He would notify his counterpart in Hong Kong so that he wouldn¡¯t need to worry about Su Tongxin then. Ahem. Thinking about it now, Chen Hao felt that the sudden turn of events were indeed dramatic. In the past when he was poor, he felt that the whole world had abandoned him. However, now that he was rich, he felt like the world was his oyster. As for Zhao Yifan, he did not want to think about it anymore. It was for the better anyway, since he did not want to have too much interaction with her. Chen Hao did not even want to be friends with a girl like her anyway. As for Lin Jiao, she wasn¡¯t even worth mentioning. On the third day, Chen Hao sent Su Tongxin off at the airport. After he saw her off, Chen Hao got down to work. He started studying materials on management in his free time. Besides that, he also started exploring the development problems that Yunmeng Mountain was facing. Time passed in a blink of an eye. It had been three days since Su Tongxin¡¯s departure. It was Friday afternoon. Chen Hao was lying idly on his bed ying with his mobile phone when suddenly Yang Hui rushed in and asked him anxiously, ¡°Chen, have you seen Li Rui around?¡± ¡°No, didn¡¯t he go to the inte cafe with you all?¡± Chen Hao thought that Li Rui would have gone to the inte cafe together with his roommates around this time. They did not know what happened to Li Rui for the past two days but he seemed down in the dumps. Furthermore, he refused to speak with Chen Hao and the rest of his roommates even if they spoke to him. In short, he had turned into aplete stranger from the lively person he used to be. That afternoon when they went out for lunch together, Yang Hui invited Li Rui to the inte cafe to relieve his boredom. However, Li Rui could not be found that evening and that made Yang Hui anxious. Chen Hao¡¯s forehead was beaded with sweat as he thought to himself, Could something have happened to Li Rui? He took out his mobile phone at that moment and quickly gave Li Rui a call. However, Li Rui¡¯s phone was switched off. ¡°Damn it, what is happening now?¡± Yang Hui was so worried that he kept scratching his head. Chen Hao was no longer in the mood for lying down on his bed anymore, so he jumped down from his bed and spoke in a whisper, ¡°You don¡¯t say! Li Rui was acting strangely these past few days. Sincest week, I noticed that he often giggled at his phone, and when I wanted to take a look at it, he refused to let me see its contents. However, he had been moody these past two days. He is definitely hiding something from us!¡± Chen Hao recalled Li Rui¡¯s demeanor in the past two days. Li Rui was a boisterous person, but he would asionally feel moody. So, nobody really thought much about it. They thought that they could cheer him up by bringing him out for some fun. ¡°Yes, I noticed this as well. The most important thing is to find him quickly. I hope nothing happened to him!¡± With that, all of them split up quickly and prepared to look for Li Rui. Chen Hao was so anxious that he nearly wanted to make a police report. However, the moment they opened the door, everybody was shocked. Li Rui had returned, but he was soaked in sweat from head to toe, and he looked exceptionally pale. ¡°F*ck! Li Rui, where have you been?¡± Yang Hui scolded him out of anxiety. ¡°Oh, I just went out for a while. Something happened in thest two days.¡± Li Rui answered absent-mindedly. Then, he gave a yawn and entered the dormitory. ¡°Why did you switch off your phone?¡± Chen Hao felt that something was amiss when he saw Li Rui¡¯s demeanor. ¡°Moreover, Li Rui, are you hiding something from us?¡± ¡°Huh? I-I don¡¯t have anything to hide.¡± ¡°Then, why did you say that something happened in thest two days?¡± Chen Hao and Yang Hui nced at each other and thought, It would be weird if nothing was troubling him right now. At that moment, all his roommates surrounded him immediately. Li Rui lowered his head and did not say any more. His expression was gloomy. ¡°Li Rui, are you trying to worry us to death?¡± Chen Hao gave Li Rui a pat on his shoulder. Faced with the concern of his roommates, the corners of Li Rui¡¯s mouth started to twitch. He ended up scratching his head frantically while screaming, ¡°Please don¡¯t ask me this question anymore, just leave me alone! I am not a good person, in fact, I am a huge jerk! Please, don¡¯t ask me anything anymore, I beg of you all.¡± ¡°I-I have been lying to you guys all these while. I am nothing but a jerk so please don¡¯t treat me like your best friend anymore. If I were to tell you the truth, I bet that you all will look down upon me.¡± Chen Hao and Yang Hui were dumbfounded. Chen Hao immediately asked, ¡°Why would you think this way, Li Rui? We will look down upon you if you continue to avoid us. Unless, you never treated us as your best friends?¡± ¡°No, you got it all wrong! I have always treated all of you as my best friends! Fine, I surrender.¡± Li Rui scratched his head. ¡°Maybe I will feel better as well if I tell you all the truth.¡± ¡°Chen, Yang, to be honest, I came from a very poor family as well. Did you guys always have the impression that I came from a pretty good family background? I am sorry to tell you all that it was all an act. My family¡¯s situation was almost the same as Chen¡¯s situation in the past. Both my parents are sick, and I even have a younger sister who is gravely ill.¡± ¡°Did you guys know that my family was treated with disdain since I was young? When I was seven years old, I followed my mother to my aunt¡¯s house to borrow some money. However, we were chased out by them, and they even threw out the farm produce that we brought along as a gift for them.¡± ¡°So, I was especially afraid that other people would look down upon me. I have been terrified of it since I was young. I was so scared that other people would look down upon me because of my poverty. So, I deliberately acted like I was rich since high school.¡± ¡°Last week, the female ss monitor from my high school that I have been pursuing for many years finally agreed to be my girlfriend. She was different from the other girls, and she wasn¡¯t materialistic. However, I lied to her by telling her that I was doing great in college. Moreover, I even told her that I owned a few stores, but now¡­¡± Li Rui hung his head down like a deted ball. Chen Hao finally understood. ¡°So, she insisted on visiting you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I originally intended to visit her, however she insisted oning over instead. What should I do? What if she knows that I have been lying to her all these while? She will definitely break up with me! I have been working my back off these past two days doing part time jobs to earn money. I really cherish her.¡± Chen Hao did not know how to advise him any further when he saw Li Rui¡¯s dejected expression. He also lied to Su Tongxin many times before. Hence, he understood Li Rui¡¯s feelings right now. Li Rui only wanted to be loved, so he told her a lie because he was afraid that his rtionship would be over due to his poverty. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it anymore, Li Rui, for I have a solution for you!¡± Chapter 141 Helping a Friend Out Chapter 141 Helping a Friend Out At 11 in the morning, three youngdies stood outside the entrance of Jin Ling College. They were looking around anxiously from time to time. ¡°Qin Fei, what¡¯s going on? I thought that Li Rui promised to meet us at the entrance of Jin Ling College, so why isn¡¯t he here yet?¡± ¡°Fei, I initially thought that Li Rui would pick us up in his cars, but we ended up waiting for him for such a long time,¡± said the two youngdies impatiently to the youngdy in the middle, who was named Qin Fei. All three of them were stunning youngdies, especially Qin Fei, for she had an air of quiet, refined elegance. ¡°Calm down, Lin Yue, Li Rui is running his own business now so he might be busy as he has to handle so many shops at once. I have already given him a call just now, and he told me that he is dealing with the matters at hand now. Once he is done, he will spend the entire day with us,¡± said Qin Fei with a smile. Their college was situated in Hong Kong. They had heard of the prosperity of Jin Ling long before this and wanted to witness it for themselves. Lin Yue was Qin Fei¡¯s roommate. When both of them heard that Qin Fei¡¯s boyfriend, Li Rui, was a powerful person in Jin Ling, they had to tag along as well, since Qin Fei wanted to visit Li Rui. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. On one hand, they came to bask in her glory, while on the other hand, they were envious and wanted to see for themselves whether her boyfriend, Li Rui, was tooting his own horn/ It was enough to make anybody jealous if Li Rui treated her well and was really that powerful. ¡°Hey, beautifuldies, are you all waiting for someone?¡± At this moment, a ck Passat suddenly stopped in front of them. The windows were wound down and two ruffians poked their heads out. Qin Fei and her friends lowered their heads and did not speak. They had been hit on too many times by these types of guys. When the two ruffians saw that all the three youngdies were quite gorgeous, they decided to stay. ¡°It seems that you are not students of Jin Ling College. Did you alle here to find someone? You can tell me and I might be able to offer you some assistance.¡± The two guys got down from the car. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Li Rui ising to get us soon,¡± said Lin Yue immediately. ¡°Li Rui? I¡¯ll be damned. Why haven¡¯t I heard of him before?¡± The two guys gave each other a nce and thought, I bet he must be somebody insignificant in this college. If Li Rui was somebody famous in this college, then both of them would leave immediately. After all, it would be better if they had one less enemy. However, since he was a nobody, then they weren¡¯t afraid anymore. They wanted both Qin Fei¡¯s and Lin Yue¡¯s WeChat ID as they were both very pretty. ¡°Hmm, I don¡¯t think we know Li Rui. However, the weather is so hot and if you all were to wait for him here, your beautiful skin might get tan. Since there is a cafe just around the corner, why don¡¯t I give you all a lift there so you all can wait for him at the cafe? Come on, hop in!¡± To be honest, Lin Yue was tempted to get into the car. You could tell that these guys were rich with a single nce, however Li Rui might be richer. Moreover, she came here with Qin Fei, so when she saw Qin Fei shaking her head, she shook her head as well. ¡°No need to be embarrassed. Come, hop in the car quickly, let us all be friends!¡± said one of the guys while he boldly tried to hold Qin Fei¡¯s hands. ¡°What do you think you are doing? Are you crazy?!¡± Qin Fei flung his hands aside viciously and even scolded him. It was an embarrassing situation for both of them. Out of the girls that they had hit on before, none of them had rejected them t out in public before this. At that moment, both of them nced at each other and smiled coldly. ¡°Youngdy, are you trying to humiliate us? Haven¡¯t you heard the expression, ¡®You do not hit a smiling person¡¯?¡± With that, they moved to grope her. ¡°F*ck you!¡± However, before they managed to touch her, they heard a loud m, and the guy who initiated the action was kicked several feet away. He flew away like a kite without a string. It was Li Rui, Yang Hui and Chen Hao who came to their rescue. They already saw the two guys getting rough with the girls when they walked out the campus gates. Hence, they immediately rushed over in a fit of anger. ¡°F*ck you! How dare you touch Li Rui¡¯s woman?! Do you have a death wish?!¡± Yang Hui cursed and started to beat up the other guy with Chen Hao¡¯s help. ¡°F*ck! Do you the three have a death wish? How dare you hit me?!¡± The leader of the gang cursed while holding his waist in pain. It was so painful that his forehead was beaded with cold sweat. ¡°Why not? How dare you harass my girlfriend?! I will beat you to death!¡± Li Rui was seeing red at the moment. It was obvious that he really cared about Qin Fei. At that moment, he immediatelyunched himself at the guy again and started to beat him up. Chen Hao and Yang Hui also joined in the fight unwillingly. Both the guys were beaten up quite badly. ¡°You better remember this next time, kid. The next time you see Young Master Li¡¯s woman, you better keep your eyes open and stay far away from her. Do you understand?!¡± roared Chen Hao coldly. ¡°Young Master Li? Ok, I heard you, and I will remember it!¡± Since they were unable to fight back, they could only surrender and slip away quietly. In the first ce, they have never heard of Li Rui¡¯s name before. However, he definitely wasn¡¯t an ordinary person since he had two loyal underlings. The least they could do was inquire more about his background first before nning how to deal with themter. On the other hand, Chen Hao and Yang Hui had a discussion with Li Rui earlier, and they all agreed to Chen Hao¡¯s n to save Li Rui¡¯s dignity by pretending to be his underlings. By right, Chen Hao and Yang Hui shouldn¡¯t help him out since Li Rui relied on bragging to hit on girls. However, they were moved by his feelings for Qin Fei. Moreover, they were best friends for approximately three or four years already, so they couldn¡¯t just stand by and watch as Li Rui sank further into depression. Because of this, they decided to help him out. They would help him get through this crisis first before deciding on the next step. Unexpectedly, Li Rui¡¯s girlfriend was bullied. So, how could they just sit back and do nothing?! ¡°I¡¯ll be damned! Fei, your boyfriend is just too cool!¡± At this moment, Lin Yue was looking at Li Rui excitedly. He just needed to give the orders to beat them up. How simple and brutal it was! The guys were beaten up so badly that they didn¡¯t know how to fight back. He was so heroic and cool! ¡°Li Rui, you could have just scared him away! Why did you beat him up? What if you need to ¡°It¡¯s just a simple matter, so don¡¯t you worry about it.¡± Li Rui patted his chest and said, ¡°By the way, Chen, how¡¯s the arrangement for our lunch?¡± Chen Hao immediately gave him a smile like he was his underling and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Young Master Li, everything has been arranged. Our location is the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. Are we going there now?¡± This was intentionally arranged by Chen Hao. They had to choose a restaurant in Jin Ling Commercial Street since they wanted to preserve Li Rui¡¯s dignity. The Hot Spring Vi¡¯s standard was way too high for them. They did not want to exaggerate it. Homecook Kitchen Restaurant was the perfect choice, for it was neither too big nor too small. Li Rui scratched his head in surprise and gave him a questioning look that meant, ¡®The Homecook Kitchen Restaurant is just too expensive, how can we afford it?¡¯ However, Chen Hao only gave him a reassuring look. Only then did they hail some cabs and made their way to the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. ¡°Wow! So, this is the Jin Ling Commercial Street! I heard from my friends in Jin Ling that the standard of the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant is very high,¡± said Lin Yue excitedly as she took in the view along the way. She even took out her mobile phone from time to time to take pictures of it. ¡°Young Master Li,ter when you buy a car after your graduation, Fei and I won¡¯t need to grab a cab the next time wee here for some sightseeing anymore, right?" asked Lin Yue a little regretfully. ¡°Of course!¡± said Li Rui as he wiped away the sweat on his forehead. On the other hand, Qin Fei felt pleased while holding Li Rui¡¯s hand. She wasn¡¯t a materialistic girl, however her boyfriend was a sessful man. Anybody would feel proud if they were in her position. ¡°We have arrived, so let¡¯s get down here then!¡± Chen Hao and Yang Hui were sitting in the front cab. At this moment, Chen Hao came over eagerly to open the door for Li Rui. ¡°Let¡¯s go in together for a meal,¡± said Li Rui with a smile. Everyone arrived at the lobby and prepared to enter the private room that was pre-arranged by Chen Hao before this. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. Li Rui, Yang Hui and Chen? Why are you guys here?¡± Right at this moment, in the lobby, a group of guys and girls were preparing to enter their private room. However, the moment they turned around, one of the girls who was dressed stunningly eximed with a look of surprise. She was obviously bbergasted. ¡°Lin Jiao?¡± Chen Hao was shocked as he did not expect to meet this crazy woman here¡­ At this moment, both of them were ring at each other. Chapter 142 The Fight in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant Chapter 142 The Fight in Homecook Kitchen Restaurant ¡°Hey, I¡¯m asking the three of you. What¡¯re you doing here? Having meals here? Well, well, well. You even bring three girls along!¡± Lin Jiao had changed a lotpared to the past. Not only was she wearing branded goods from head to toe, her status elevated profusely ever since she became Zhao Shan¡¯s godsister. Xu Xia said that Zhao Yifan was the only person Lin Jiao would concern herself with right now. She didn¡¯t care about the others at all. She felt that they weren¡¯t at the same level as her. In essence, she became insanely snobbish and arrogant. It was all because she had a great godbrother who provided thevish lifestyle which included ess to luxurious clothes and bags. Faced with Lin Jiao¡¯s questioning, Li Rui tugged at the hem of his shirt nervously. Lin Jiao was quite N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. familiar with him, so she knew of his background very well. Oh damn! This is awkward! ¡°We¡¯re here to have lunch as well. Talk to youter. We¡¯re heading upstairs now!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to extend the conversation too, especially after noticing that Su Jie happened to be her lunchpanion. Su Jie, the follower of Zhao Shan, was also the one who knocked down Chen Hao with his car on the first day of college. Based on his observation, Su Jie was probably one of Zhao Shan¡¯s troublemaking followers who liked rocking the boat. Looking at how close Lin Jiao and him were, Chen Hao wondered if they were a couple. There was no reason for Chen Hao to be intimidated by Su Jie. But the main character today was Li Rui and not him. He just didn¡¯t want any trouble. ¡°Aha, you! Stop right there!¡± And yet, Chen Hao now had Lin Jiao staring at him crossly. She didn¡¯t even bother calling him by his name, because she didn¡¯t deem him deserving of politeness. Hmph! Chen Hao, you were impressive before! More impressive than anyone could imagine. You were so great, that those clueless about you might mistake you as some Great Young Master Chen. I did have a crush on you previously, even to the point which I took the first step to hook up with you. But what did you do? You are so damn cocky that you never cared about me. You even confessed to Zhao Yifan publicly at our Broadcasting Department not so long ago. You were aware of my affection for you, but still you chose to ignore me! Lin Jiao really hated Chen Hao''s guts. However, she had now be Young Master Zhao¡¯s godsister. Not only that, his buddy, Su Jie, was trying to pursue her as well. Their intimacy had surpassed that of ordinary friends. They were definitely better, if not the same level as Chen Hao. And thus, Lin Jiao only ever had a bone to pick with Chen Hao! ¡°Hey, you. I thought you were acting all high and mighty before this? Now that Young Master Zhao came to our college, all of a sudden you¡¯re a coward?¡± Lin Jiao held her arms as she scoffed. ¡°Oh yea, I thought I saw you having meals with Su Tongxin just a few days ago. And now you¡¯re here with other girls?¡± ¡°Hey, who do you think you are! What nonsense are you talking about? We aren¡¯t dating him. We are the besties of Young Master Li¡¯s girlfriend!¡± This was when Lin Yue retorted coldly. To be frank, Lin Yue never really liked Chen Hao¡¯s bad sense of dressing. If it wasn¡¯t because he was the underling of Li Rui, Lin Yue didn¡¯t even want to look at him. So, the moment when she heard Lin Jiao iming that she came here with Chen Hao, she couldn''t help with the retort. Still, it was also mainly due to her dislike of Lin Jiao in general. ¡°Huh? Young Master Li? Which one?¡± Lin Jiao asked immediately, frowning. ¡°Young Master Li, Li Rui. Why, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Yue replied. Listening to their conversation, Chen Hao and Li Rui rubbed their foreheads listlessly. They were rushing to enter the private room, mainly to avoid them talking about Li Rui¡¯s identity. Sometimes, the more worried you are of an oue, the more likely it manifests. ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Lin Jiaoughed heartily. ¡°What did you just say? Did you just address Li Rui as the Young Master Li? He is the one?¡± Lin Jiao ¡°What Young Master Li? I¡¯ve been in this college for quite some time, and I¡¯ve known many of the young masters in college, but why didn¡¯t I know that there is a Young Master Li called Li Rui?¡± Su Jie crossed his arms, not taking any of these seriously. ¡°Hmph! Li Rui is not some second generation member of a rich family. He started from scratch and has now owned several stores in Jin Ling! Am I right, Fei?¡± Lin Yue said indignantly. Qin Fei nodded her head. ¡°My God!¡± Lin Jiao covered her gasp. With an astonished look, she asked, ¡°Li Rui, you did all that? You opened multiple stores in Jin Ling? My goodness, when did this happen? What kind of stores are they?¡± Lin Jiao pretended to be surprised. ¡°I-I-I¡­¡± Everyone¡¯s attention was on Li Rui at the same time, leaving him helpless. Chen Hao red at Lin Jiao angrily. This mad woman should have caught on to what was going on. But still, she kept on asking questions, not making things easy for the three of them. Obviously, her intention was to humiliate them. ¡°Lin Jiao, he has opened so many stores. Do we have to tell you about every single one of them? Qin Fei, let¡¯s go to the private room upstairs!¡± Chen Hao made an inviting gesture and also blocked Lin Jiao physically, preventing further interrogation. ¡°What the hell! You¡¯d better get out of my way!¡± Lin Jiao raised her leg and her kicknded on Chen Hao¡¯s butt. ¡°Why don¡¯t I have the rights to know? I¡¯m like a sister to Xu Xia. Yang Hui is her boyfriend, and Li Rui is his buddy. I bet Xu Xia also has no idea that Li Rui owns several stores here. I really want to know what¡¯s going on!¡± Lin Jiao put on a bossy front with a wicked smile. She said, ¡°No matter what, I won¡¯t let you go if I don¡¯t get a satisfying answer today!¡± ¡°Li Rui, just tell her about the stores and let¡¯s go to eat now.¡± Qin Fei said softly as she looked at Lin Jiao in disgust. ¡°That¡¯s right, Young Master Li, just tell her about them. You don¡¯t have to be looked down upon by a nobody,¡± Lin Yue said. ¡°Are you saying that I¡¯m a nobody?¡± The girls were about to start a fight. Suddenly, Su Jie¡¯s phone rang and everyone went into silence. ¡°Hey cousin, why aren¡¯t you here yet? We¡¯re waiting for the both of you! What? You¡¯re in the hospital now? You got beaten up? By whom?¡± Su Jie¡¯s tone turned cold and angry. ¡°Alright. After getting your wounds treated,e to Homecook Kitchen Restaurant to have lunch first. We¡¯ll find out who beat you upter this afternoon. Damn!¡± After the unpleasant exchange, Su Jie hung up. ¡°Young Master Su, what¡¯s happening? Is that the phone call from Kai?¡± Feeling worried, Lin Jiao turned to look at Su Jie, no longer focusing on Chen Hao. ¡°Yeah, my cousin called and said that he got beaten up by three men just now. He is getting his wounds treated in the hospital now. He¡¯ll being here right after that.¡± Su Jie moved and cracked his neck, creating a loud popping sound. ¡°Who are they? The nerve that these people have. How dare they beat up Kai? Didn¡¯t they know that Kai is your cousin?¡± Lin Jiao eximed fiercely. ¡°I don¡¯t care who they are! You, contact Young Master Hua and Young Master Kang to gather some people. I have some business to deal with this afternoon!¡± ¡°Yes sir!¡± One of his underlings immediately went to make a call. Chen Hao and Yang Hui exchanged their nces, slightly confused. Both of them were thinking of the same thing at the same time, How coincidental was this? It¡¯s just too awkward! While they were still caught up in their thoughts, there was a roaring of an engine belonging to a ck Volkswagen Passating from afar. An emergency brake stopped the car swiftly by the entrance of Homecook Kitchen Restaurant. Two guys with bruised and swollen faces got out of the car. Looking at the two of them, Lin Yue said in a startled manner, ¡°Oh shit! It¡¯s really the two of them!¡± Chapter 143 A Plot Twist Chapter 143 A Plot Twist ¡°Oh my god, you''re really got beaten! And they even beat you up so badly! What happened?¡± Su Jie asked worriedly as two people walked toward him. Both of his younger cousins were fooling around in Jin Ling College before he went there. Damn, I''ve only transferred here recently with Young Master Zhao, and we had explicitly marked Jin Ling College as our territory. The first thing that happened was my cousin being beaten up by some random dude? It¡¯s a burning humiliation! Standing by their side, Li Rui and Yang Hui lowered their head in shame as they saw both of them. They were the guys who were beaten up by Li Rui and Yang Hui in front of the college a while ago. Frankly speaking, they didn¡¯t hold back at all while hitting them. However, now that they calmed down, both of them felt weak in their knees. After all, Su Jie was the underling of Young Master Zhao. Even with Young Master Zhao out of the picture, Su Jie alone was too much to handle. We¡¯re f*cked! ¡°A-hem, don¡¯t remind me of it, cousin. We met three beautiful girls earlier today and thought of hitting them up, but¡­damn!¡± said Su Kai furiously. As he turned around, his gaze met Li Rui and Yang Hui¡¯s. ¡°Bro, you know these guys?¡± Su Kai eximed, ring at Li Rui and Yang Hui ferociously. ¡°Nope! But my girlfriend, Lin Jiao, knows them,¡± Su Jieughed bitterly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Kai?¡± ¡°Damn, they were the ones who beat us up!¡± ¡°What? The three of them? Are you sure, Kai?¡± Taken by surprise, Su Jie looked at them menacingly. ¡°I¡¯m positive! Both of them beat my brother up, and he was the one who punched me in the eye!¡± Su Kai pointed angrily at Li Rui. Li Rui and Yang Hui swallowed apprehensively. This was the worst case scenario that they imagined. ¡°F*ck! Li Rui, Yang Hui and you! Since when you have be so daring? You even have the audacity to beat up Su Jie¡¯s cousins?¡± Lin Jiao crossed her arms and gloated. A crowd was slowly gathering at the lobby of Homecook Kitchen Restaurant, rubbernecking at the scene. ¡°Lin Jiao, you know this fe? I was just about to ask you if you are acquainted with Young Master Li Rui, as you know more people than I do. I never thought you actually know him!¡± Su Kai said sarcastically. ¡°Ha, did you mention Young Master Li Rui? Let me enlighten you, among the three of them, Yang Hui is the only one who is decent. Li Rui is just a poor student, and the fe standing next to him is a loser. Kai, you had just been beaten up by three losers! Ha-ha!¡± Lin Jiaoughed out loud unsympathetically, and she even wriggled her bottom in excitement. Qin Fei and her friends blushed in embarrassment. Looking at Li Rui¡¯s silent demeanor with his head bowed down, they realized what was going on. No wonder Li Rui didn¡¯t defend himself when he was humiliated by Lin Jiao. Is he lying to me? ¡°I see, so he is just a hypocrite! I have been wondering why I haven¡¯t heard of Young Master Li, now I know the reason. Well, let¡¯s settle it here!¡± Su Kai sneered, cracking his neck while grabbing a bottle of beer from the bar. Swinging the bottle in his hand, Su Kai asked Su Jie, ¡°Brother, it should be fine for me to get a little wild, right?¡± Su Jie nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Yue is the manager here. Since she is the godsister of Young Master Zhao, she is also considered my sister. You can do whatever you like.¡± ¡°Perfect!¡± ¡°F*ck you! Trying to act cool in front of me, huh? Take this, Young Master Li!¡± Ssh! Su Kai opened the beer and showered the contents onto Li Rui¡¯s face. The situation resembled one of the scenes in the movie Young and Dangerous, where the male lead, Chan Honam did the same with Ugly Kwan. ¡°F*ck you, b*itch!¡± Su Kai then raised the bottle and was going to smash it right on Li Rui¡¯s head. Li Rui clenched his fists tightly, preparing to receive the blow. He knew he could never go against Su Jie. He would be graduating soon. He believed Su Jie had all sorts of ways to kick him out of the college. Hence, Li Rui had no other option but to remain on the receiving end without any defiance. Money and power¡ªI have neither of them. I couldn¡¯t even protect my girlfriend! He shut his eyes and prepared himself. There was a sudden loud bang, and beer was sshed everywhere. Su Kai fell to the ground with his head covered in blood. It was Chen Hao who smashed a beer at his head. ¡°How dare you hit our Young Master Li? Are you sick of living?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t hold back his anger after watching Su Kai humiliate Li Rui. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. He thought, Since we are putting on a show, let¡¯s just fake it till we make it. Everyone was dumbfounded. ¡°How dare you hit my brother? Do you have a death wish? You know whose territory this is? Believe it or not, I¡¯ll f*cking break your legs before you can crawl out of this ce!¡± Su Jie threatened Chen Hao intimidatingly. ¡°Go and fetch my godsister. My brother was beaten in her restaurant, let¡¯s ask Yue to oversee the situation!¡± hemanded and smirked at Chen Hao self-righteously. ¡°That guy is too impulsive. Doesn¡¯t he know that this restaurant is managed by Zheng Yue? Hitting her brother in her territory, does he even treasure his life?¡± ¡°Damn, I¡¯ve heard that Zheng Yue is one of the most influential people on this street. Even the new General Manager Zhao, didn¡¯t dare to drop his manner in front of Zheng Yue. I wonder what her background is?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you know that Zheng Yue is close with Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen? There¡¯s a rumor saying that she is his girlfriend, which is why even General Manager Zhao has to show her respect!¡± ¡°My god, that¡¯s impressive! This fe¡¯s life is going to end here!¡± The customers were discussing about the incident frantically. Of course, most of them were just rubbernecking. ¡°Run! I¡¯ll stay behind and settle this, you can¡¯t go against people like them, get out of here quickly!¡± Yang Hui shouted to Li Rui and Chen Hao. Qin Fei was about to burst into tears as the scene unfolded in front of her. ¡°No, Chen Hao and Yang Hui, bring Qin Fei and the rest away! I¡¯ll take care of them on my own!¡± Adrenaline rushed down Li Rui¡¯s spine as he decided to put his life at stake. ¡°No one shall leave here!¡± A high pitched voice pierced through the air. A women walked down the stairs slowly. She was the manager of Homecook Kitchen Restaurant, Zheng Yue. ¡°Yue, someone beat up my cousin!¡± Su Jie immediately came up to her ingratiatingly. In the direction where Su Jie pointed, Zheng Yue saw Chen Hao resting one of his hands in his pockets with a poker face. At once, she trembled slightly. Chen Hao had booked a room at the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant earlier today. Apparently, he instructed Zheng Yue to y along with him so that Li Rui could pretend to be a young master. This was why Zheng Yue was personally preparing the private room for them upstairs. She only came down when she heard the fight, but it never urred to her that the person involved would be Young Master Chen. ¡°Y-y-young Master¡­¡± Zheng Yue blurted excitedly. Only one word, and Chen Hao looked at her warningly. ¡°Oh, Young Master Li, you¡¯re finally here!¡± Zheng Yue shed a professional smile at Li Rui. Li Rui was at a loss. What¡¯s going on? I thought she is going to screw me over? Chen Hao whispered into his ears, asking him to calm down and y along as Young Master Li. Li Rui trusted Chen Hao that he would never get him into trouble. Hence, he boldly announced, ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Young Master Li, you should have informed me earlier that you¡¯re here, I would¡¯ve wee you personally! Did anyone offend you?¡± She eyed Su Jie and Lin Jiao coldly. Su Jie¡¯s jaw dropped. He looked at her, eyes wide and mouth agape. Lin Jiao was certain that Li Rui was just nobody, a loser even. How could he possibly be Young Master Li? She was pretty sure that Zheng Yue was trying to cover up for him. Lin Jiao had known Zheng Yue for a long time; she also knew that Chen Hao used to be Zheng Yue¡¯s gigolo. She originally nned to resolve past conflicts with Zheng Yue through Su Jie. However, it turned out that Zheng Yue was taking Chen Hao¡¯s side. I thought Chen Hao already had a girlfriend? How could he still be Zheng Yue¡¯s gigolo? Oh, could it be possible that Zheng Yue was unaware that Chen Hao already had a girlfriend? In light of the current situation, Lin Jiao¡¯s eyes suddenly twinkled. Chapter 144 Completion of Cloud Mansion Renovation Chapter 144 Completion of Cloud Mansion Renovation "Yue, they were the ones who beat my little brother!" Su Jie eximed, he felt he was unfairly treated. p! But instead, Su Jie was answered with a strong p on his face. "Su Jie, you really have the nerve to make a scene here, to the point of picking a fight with... Young Master Li!" Su Jie was pped in the face, yet he kept his mouth shut tight, even though he felt all of this was unfair. He was not a thick-headed person. It was obvious that this person in front of him, Young Master Li, was someone with a strong background. Not a nobody, like what Lin Jiao said. Otherwise, it was impossible for someone as arrogant as Zheng Yue to be polite to Li Rui. The only thing he could do was lower down his head. "Damn, this is intense!" Lin Yue who was tagging along with Qin Fei was stunned by what was happening in front of them. Lin Yue was especially envious of Zheng Yue''s strong demeanor. Maybe someday I can get to know someone as powerful as Young Master Chen, she thought to herself, then I can just beat down those stuck-up rich kids whenever they piss me off, hahahah! "Scram if you know your ce! Or else, Su Jie, you won''t be leaving in one piece,¡± Zheng Yue said coldly while crossing her arms. Su Jie trembled because he was frightened. He really wanted to leave soon after he apologized to Li Rui. "Wait!" Lin Jiao bellowed. "Yue, please wait, ¡± Lin Jiao eximed. ¡°I hope you will still listen to me despite our conflicts before. You''ll definitely regret lending your hands to a certain someone after listening to what I have to say." Lin Jiao held her arms, focusing her cold stares at Chen Hao, as if she was already able to see Chen Hao being ripped into pieces by Zheng Yue. "Hahah, you sly b*tch, what else are you going to tell me? You better make sure it''s useful or else you are going to pay for what happenedst time!" Every time Zheng Yue saw Lin Jiao, she would always remember how Lin Jiao humiliated her. How she used Young Master Chen as being her escort when she was only giving him a ride back to college. "Fine, I''ll just say it straight. Chen Hao betrayed you! He is already seeing someone in our college, and his girlfriend is from our department!" This was thest card Lin Jiao had on her hands. "Be a man and tell Yue I''m saying the truth," she bellowed, pointing at Chen Hao. Chen Hao nodded. "Yeah, my girlfriend is called Su Tongxin, and she¡¯s from your department. We started going out together just a couple of days ago, haha." he replied. Lin Jiao was roaring withughter. "Hahahah, see Yue? He admitted himself, he..." Yet her smile was gradually fading. She expected to see Zheng Yue''s face filled with anger and outrage, even filled with murderous wrath. After all, as a woman, who wouldn¡¯t understand her murderous anger when being toyed by a man? However, Lin Jiao only saw anger and impatience directed toward her. "Is that all that you have to say to me? What is even the point of you telling me Young Master Li''s Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. guy is my boy toy?" "Huh? He''s not?" Lin Jiao replied, feeling petrified. p! "B*tch! You framed mest time and now here you are spouting nonsense!" Zheng Yue pped Lin Jiao hard across the face. Lin Jiao was in dismay; she was wrong all this time! "Get out, now!" Zheng Yue growled furiously. Her eyes turning red as if she was about to burst from rage. "I''m... I''m leaving." Lin Jiao''s tears flowed down due to the hit she received. She covered her face and was about to leave. "Wait!" It was a trembling voice of a girl. Lin Yue came out to the front. "What do you want?" Lin Jiao asked. p! Lin Yue mustered up her courage, and she gave Lin Jiao another p across her face. It was all because Lin Jiao was being too arrogant and humiliated them in the first ce. Even the powerful Zheng Yue was being polite to Young Master Li, so Lin Yue had nothing to be afraid of being Qin Fei¡¯s best friend. This was the first time Lin Yue had everid her hands on someone. Seeing Lin Jiao standing there stunned silent after being pped, she felt triumphant. Chen Hao chuckled, looking at the scene happening in front of him. Lin Jiao really humiliated herself today. Hahah! Only after chasing off Su Jie and Lin Jiao, Zheng Yue''s expression started to waver. She almost tumbled the dishes several times when she was serving Chen Hao''s table. Sigh... Zheng Yue was holding back her feelings upon hearing Chen Hao admit he already has a girlfriend. She felt a sudden sting in her heart. But being experienced in her line of work made her capable of not showing how she really felt; she was able to hide her true feelings. Lunch went well. Afterward, Chen Hao took the charge of helping Li Rui to arrange for the activities and ces to stay for tonight''s gathering. It was all high-ss, but still, not too outrageous. "Young Master Li," Yang Hui eximed, "my girlfriend has been calling me nonstop." They were on their way to Wind Bamboo Pavilion to leave their luggage there. "Okay, Yang," Li Rui answered, "you can go back first." Yang Hui took a cab and left. Suddenly Lin Yue spoke up, "Young Master Li, why not let that person leave too?" She was ring at Chen Hao with much contempt. "It¡¯s so embarrassing having him tag along." While they were having lunch, Lin Yue asked Zheng Yue, whom she had idolized, for her WeChat ID. Being acquainted with the most powerful woman in Jin Ling, she would need to take care of her own image as well. Chen Hao was stunned. She was referring to him. He was ving for those threedies the whole day, and yet he was being disregarded and was asked to leave? "Huh?" Li Rui panicked upon hearing her request. "No, he must stay!" Even though he was not sure what was under Chen Hao''s belt, the only main support Li Rui has now is him. "Why?" Lin Yue pleaded. "What''s the use of him following us anyway, Young Master Li?" "Well, never mind then," Chen Hao replied. "No worries, I have already arranged all the activities to your ord," he says as he was looking at Li Rui, signaling him to remind him to keep on the act. "Everything is ready, you may head there now," he says, "I''ll be taking my leave then." Without any other choice, Li Rui nodded. It was about time Chen Hao left, he felt exhausted after spending the whole afternoon outside. Yang Hui left to meet up with Xu Xia, probably because Lin Jiao said something about what happened today in their chat group. That was why Xu Xia called Yang Hui to hurry back, so she could ask what had happened. There weren''t many things for Chen Hao to do since Su Tongxin was gone for her training course, so he decided to just go back to his dorm and take a nap. Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from Zhao Zixing. ¡°Young Master Chen, the mansion has beenpletely renovated. We¡¯ve built a garage for you at the foot of the mountain ording to your instructions. The construction of cableways up to the mountain has also beenpleted! When are you moving into the mansion?¡± ¡°General Manager Zhao, thank you for your hard work. I didn¡¯t expect you to have built the garage in seven days. I will move into the mansion three dayster on the moving date that I¡¯ve chosen. As for the key of the mansion, you should take it first. Before I move into the mansion on that day, you get some helpers to get ready in advance with the moving.¡± When Chen Hao apanied Lin Yiyi to the mountainst time, the renovations were almost done so he informed Tang Ran that he would be moving into the new mansion in the next few days. "Definitely sir," he answered, "just leave everything to me. Rest assured, you''ll be satisfied." The call ended. Since the garage at the foot of the mountain was built, Chen Hao thought to himself, he could just park his Lamborghini there. He didn¡¯t need to leave his car in the small park anymore. He kept his phone away in his pocket, called for a cab, and left Jin Ling Commercial Street. "Sir, follow that car in front!" In the meanwhile, another girl went inside another cab, her eyes locked on Chen Hao... Chapter 145 Something Happened! Hurry to the Hospital! Chapter 145 Something Happened! Hurry to the Hospital! ¡°Hehe, miss, is the guy sitting in the car in front your boyfriend? Are you checking whether he¡¯s being loyal when he¡¯s out?¡± the driver said cheekily. ¡°To be honest, those who always hang around Jin Ling Commercial Street are mostly fickle. Why is that so? Because those who alwayse here are all loaded!¡± ¡°Stop spouting nonsense and follow closely!¡± the girl instructed coldy. This shut the driver up and he diverted his attention to tail the car in front of them. The girl in the car was none other than Lin Jiao. Why did Lin Jiao tail after Chen Hao? The story started when Lin Jiao left Homecook Kitchen Restaurant with Su Jie. After leaving, Su Jie felt his blood boiling from rage and embarrassment. Not only was he given a p and kicked out in the public, he also offended his backer, Zheng Yue. Even his brother got jumped. This was just like losing all your possessions even after sacrificing everything! It felt really awful. Who was to me? Su Jie med everything that happened to him on Lin Jiao. If it wasn¡¯t for her stirring up rumors that Li Rui was poor, he wouldn¡¯t have made such an impulsive decision and allowed his brother Su Kai to try to blow his brains out. Su Kai also just found out today that Lin Jiao offended Zheng Yue in the past. So, Su Kai pinned the name of the culprit onto Lin Jiao. Naturally, they fought. After fighting, Su Kai ditched Lin Jiao and drove her away. Lin Jiao was pissed off. However, she was also wondering, Why did this happen? Li Rui wasn¡¯t Young Master Li, she was sure of that. This was because she did a background check on everyone in Chen Hao¡¯s dorm the first time they had a dorm party. She wanted to search for any possible potentials but came up with none. However, Lin Jiao managed to find out that Li Rui came from a poor family. It was just that after she told Xu Xia about it, no one discussed it. The only person she didn¡¯t do a background check on was Chen Hao because there was literally nothing to check about this poor guy. Unexpectedly, Chen Hao never failed to give her surprises every time. Lin Jiao put all the me onto Chen Hao for everything that happened today. The only person who could cause Zheng Yue to act like this must be Chen Hao. Even though he was not Zheng Yue¡¯s boy toy, there must be something going on between both of them. Moreover, Chen Hao would always give off a mysterious vibe. He was not rich, but sometimes it felt like he was even more powerful than other rich guys. She witnessed it again today! So, Lin Jiao decided to track Chen Hao to figure out what was going on with him! She had been following Chen Hao, Yang Hui and the others secretly for a while now! However, Chen Hao was not aware at all. It was already evening when she reached the college entrance. People at the park gradually dispersed. Lin Jiao walked to her car in the park and prepared to drive it back to the Cloud Mansion. biubiu Beep beep. The headlights flickered. Soon after, the car door opened automatically. Chen Hao walked toward the familiar car and prepared to drive away. nk! He heard the sound of a phone falling into pieces to the ground behind him. ¡°Oh my god... I was right. It was you all along!¡± A woman¡¯s disbelieving voice rang from behind. Chen Hao turned around and was startled. ¡°What the hell, Lin Jiao, why are your movements like a ghost?¡± Just ten footsteps behind him, Lin Jiao was staring at Chen Hao, looking stunned. She covered her mouth in astonishment. Her phoneying next to her feet had broken into two. Even her body seemed to be quivering. ¡°Chen Hao, does this car belong to you? Is this your car?¡± Lin Jiao finally reacted and looked at Chen Hao in shock. Oh my God, that luxurious Lamborghini that captured countless of Jin Ling girls¡¯ hearts belonged to Chen Hao. A luxury car that cost 18 million. What did that even mean? Lin Jiao felt as if she got struck by lightning. If Lin Jiao had not witnessed this herself, she wouldn¡¯t have believed what was happening in front of her even if she were beaten to death. The owner of the car was actually Chen Hao, who had been by her side all along. ¡°Fine, since you caught me, I¡¯ll admit it. This is my car!¡± Chen Hao said reluctantly and sighed. ¡°What?!¡± Lin Jiao eximed and looked as if she was about to cry. ¡°Alright, if there¡¯s nothing else, I will be leaving. About the car, I hope that you can keep it a secret. If things get blown out of proportion, everyone will not be happy in the end,¡± Chen Hao added dully. He was ready to leave. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t go!¡± Chen Hao did not expect Lin Jiao to rush forward and lock him into a hug from behind. ¡°What the hell! Lin Jiao, are you crazy? What¡¯s wrong with you? What are you even doing?¡± Chen Hao felt rmed and started struggling! ¡°No! I won¡¯t let go! Chen Hao, I will never let you run away from me again. I love you, I really do! Can you please give me another chance?¡± Lin Jiao clung onto Chen Hao¡¯s waist and practically hauled herself onto Chen Hao. What the hell?! Chen Hao had seen Yang Xia¡¯s gold digging personality and thought he was already immune to girls like these. However, he did not expect Lin Jiao to be even worse than Yang Xia. That was right, Lin Jiao really went all out. With Chen Hao''s past, along with the car he drove here, Lin Jiao would believe it if Chen Hao admitted that the car belonged to him. Why was that so? Because Lin Jiao was smart. Looking at Chen Hao''s car, if you tried to rte it to all that happened in the past, it would make perfect sense. It was undoubtedly his. Lin Jiao could also see that Chen Hao was a soft-hearted person. He was never ruthless, and often torn especially when it came to girls. Thus, she held onto Chen Hao¡¯s weak point and decided to risk it all. ¡°Oh my God, stop it please! My goose bumps are rising!¡± Chen Hao begged anxiously as cold sweat started to form on his forehead. ¡°I will not! I will always follow you unless you give me a chance!¡± Lin Jiao wouldn¡¯t let go. This was insane! Chen Hao hardened his heart and forcefully pried Lin Jiao¡¯s hold apart, then took the opportunity to run into his car and lock it. He then ignited his car engine and was prepared to leave. Thump! Upon the sound, Chen Hao saw Lin Jiao leaning over the hood of his car. ¡°Lin Jiao! What do you want?¡± Chen Hao yelled in exasperation. ¡°Chen Hao, let me ask you a question. Besides being rich, do you have any other identity? Can you tell me, please?¡± Yes, there was only one answer to Lin Jiao¡¯s suspicion. The rumored, secretive, loaded Young Master Chen was very much Chen Hao! Otherwise, why would Bai Xiaofei, Zheng Yue, and Li Zhenguo from Hot Spring Vi hold Chen Hao with so much respect? Oh my God!!! Plus everything that happened today, and the sports car now! Lin Jiao started connecting the dots. The rumored powerful Young Master Chen must be Chen Hao!!! Lin Jiao shivered in excitement as if she was reaching climax just from wanting to know the truth. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I don¡¯t know any Young Master Chen. If you don¡¯t leave now, I¡¯m gonna step on the elerator! Don''t underestimate my car¡¯s horsepower!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not leaving! If you don''t admit it, I will never leave!¡± Goddamn it! Chen Hao became furious and stepped on the elerator. However, he stepped on it lightly to prevent Lin Jiao from getting hurt before quickly hitting the brake. He underestimated the inertia from this action, and the car tyre hit a rock at the same time. ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Jiao flew as if she was a kite that got its string broken. She crashed onto the ground andy there unmoving. ¡°Sh*t!¡± All Chen Hao wanted was to scare her a little. He did not expect an ident to happen at all. He immediately rushed out from his car to check on Lin Jiao. Due to the blunt force on her hindbrain, Lin Jiao had lost all unconsciousness. He tried patting her cheeks to wake her up. ¡°Lin Jiao, please stop scaring me! Are you okay? I didn''t mean to hit you like that just now!¡± Chen Hao felt guilty. He was no saint. However, no matter how much he hated Lin Jiao¡ªsometimes even to the point of wanting to p her¡ªhe would never wish anything bad to happen to her that might cause her to even risk losing her life. He nced at Lin Jiao¡¯s agonized face. He quickly lifted her then secured her in his backseat and sped off to the hospital¡­ Chapter 146 A Party at Cloud Mansion Chapter 146 A Party at Cloud Mansion Lin Jiao¡¯s ident really gave Chen Hao a fright. Following the doctor¡¯s inspection at the hospital, it turned out that Lin Jiao was just unconscious due to a concussion caused by a blow to her head. She would recover after a good rest. ¡°Chen Hao, please don¡¯t go. I love you!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, please don¡¯t ever go away. I love you very much!¡± Lin Jiao murmured unconsciously in her sleep. Chen Hao rolled his eyes and thought to himself bitterly, Is that so? You just love my status and wealth. Nevertheless, Chen Hao still opted for the best medical service in the hospital to be offered to Lin Jiao and even paid the expensive bill. Later, he drove up to the Cloud Hill and parked his car there. Chen Hao was ready to leave by taking a cab after he walked out of the parking lot on the hill. Suddenly, he noticed something unusual on top of the hill. The Cloud Mansion was fully lighted from the inside. The manor, with its unique architectural style, was surrounded by a splendid air of ancient charm. With its gloriously lighted interior, the manor was a majestic grandeur amidst the dark cold night on the hill. It was very picturesque indeed! Tang Ran could not possibly be bold enough toe to the manor alone without him. Who was in the manor then? Chen Hao wondered for a while. He decided to check it out. When he reached the doorstep, he noticed several people were gathered in the house, both men and women. It looked merry inside. Strange, who are these people? Why is there a party in my house? Where did they even get the key? Chen Hao pushed open the door angrily. ¡°Eh?¡± The crowd was shocked to see Chen Hao appear at the door suddenly. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. They looked at Chen Hao in astonishment. Chen Hao also stared at the crowd in his house confusedly. Whoa! There were over ten people in the house, both men and women. The center of the living room was turned into a bar full of a variety of food, beverages and liquor. Most of them were clearly drunk and high! Chen Hao did not recognize these people. So, they were neither from Bai Xiao Fei¡¯s party nor his godbrother Huang¡¯s party. That was strange. How did these peoplee in when there were two security guards on duty halfway up the hill? ¡°Goddammit! Who the hell are you? Do you think you cane in just like that?¡± A rude guy scowled at Chen Hao and scolded. ¡°Damn, must be a loser who¡¯s curious about the manor, so he snuck up here to have a look!¡± ¡°Did he sneak up through the back of the hill? There are so many losers like him roaming around everywhere nowadays!¡± A few girls sneered at Chen Hao. Indeed, a simple guy like Chen Hao who rarely paid any attention to his own appearance was often looked down by many people when he walked by. Especially those materialistic girls who often acquainted themselves with rich, handsome gentlemen. A simple guy like Chen Hao who did not like to dress borately simply did not appeal to them. ¡°I¡¯d like to ask you guys the same question as well. Who let you people in here?¡± Chen Hao frowned and asked coldly. Chen Hao felt angry indeed. He did not purchase the house to show off his wealth, but to have a cozy ce where he could stay in. What the hell were these people thinking? Did his house look like a f*cking yground to them? ¡°Hey guys, we got a pretty cocky loser here, don¡¯t we? Who the hell are you to ask how we came here?¡± A drunk girl walked unsteadily toward Chen Hao. She poked rudely at Chen Hao in his chest. ¡°Forget about it, Xiao Li, we¡¯ve seen a lot of people like him. If it wasn¡¯t for Mr. Zhao¡¯s order to not cause trouble in the house, I would have let him have it! Let¡¯s call security and shove his sorry ass in the police station!¡± ¡°Yeah, send him to the cops!¡± The crowd agreed and proceeded to call the police. ¡°What¡¯s up with all the noise?¡± Suddenly, an impatient voice of a man was heard from the balcony on the second floor. Then, a man was seen descending down the stairs slowly apanied by a girl. ¡°Can¡¯t you guys be quiet while I try to enjoy the view upstairs? Do you really think this is your fucking house?¡± The man who was obviously the leader of the crowd reproached the crowd mercilessly. ¡°Sure, sure, Mr. Zhao. It¡¯s just that we got a troublemaker here!¡± The guy who just scolded Chen Hao exined to Mr. Zhao respectfully with a broad smile on his face. The man who was enjoying the view at the balcony was none other than Zhao Shan, the son of Zhao Zixing. Chen Hao finally understood everything when he saw Zhao Shan. It was Zhao Zixing who had given Zhao Shan the house key. ¡°A troublemaker? Whoever got the guts? Tired of living, eh?¡± Zhao Shan frowned. ¡°Mr. Zhao, it¡¯s him! It¡¯s him! It¡¯s him!¡± About five or six girls stood up, hurried toward Chen Hao and grabbed him. The current situation was almost like a scene from the famous Chinese animation ¡®Cbash Brothers¡¯, where a bunch of elves captured the Hulu Brothers¡¯ grandfather to im reward from the snake demon. Chen Hao was hurled in front of Zhao Shan. ¡°You? Chen Hao?¡± The girl who stood behind Zhao Shan looked tensed after she saw Chen Hao¡¯s face clearly. She was shocked. Chen Hao had only noticed Zhao Shan just now. When he gazed carefully at the girl beside Zhao Shan, his brain went nk. It was Zhao Yifan! ¡°Well, well, Chen Hao, what brings you here? Came to see the splendid manor, huh?¡± At first, the crowd was surprised to find out that Zhao Shan knew Chen Hao. However, the surprise quickly turned into a wave of impudentughter that exploded among the crowd. The real reason why the crowd were gathered here today was to visit the legendary Cloud Mansion which was recently purchased by a mysterious millionaire for 18 million. Naturally, Zhao Yifan and others heard about it since the news went totally viral online recently. But it was impossible for them to visit the house since it was a private property owned by the millionaire. But Zhao Yifan believed that everything was possible ever since she knew Zhao Shan. Zhao Shan had agreed to take them to the house. The crowd were still in disbelief when Zhao Shan told them that he had the key to the house earlier today. The crowd was surprised when he pulled the key out of his pocket. They even asked Su Jie and Lin Jiao to join them on their trip to the house. But Su Jie was missing in action since this afternoon and Lin Jiao could not be contacted! So, Zhao Yifan had to join the trip alone without Su Jie and Lin Jiao. She felt quite awkward among the crowd if it wasn¡¯t for Zhao Shan, who constantly apanied her. She had a proud feeling of being at the top of the social hierarchy when she stood enjoying the view on the balcony just now. At this moment, her desire to take revenge on Chen Hao had disappeared altogether. She simply just looked down on Chen Hao. Was it worth seeking revenge from such a useless low-life like Chen Hao? ¡°Yifan, you know him, right? What do you think we should do with him?¡± Zhao Shan smiled faintly and asked, ignoring Chen Hao. ¡°Just let him leave! I don¡¯t want people like him around to ruin the perfect atmosphere in the house!¡± Zhao Yifan nced at Chen Hao for a moment before she returned upstairs. ¡°Hey, you hear that? Thedy asked you to leave!¡± ¡°Yeah, leave right now!¡± Chen Hao was pushed out of the house by a bunch of girls before he could say anything, then the door was mmed in his face. This really angered Chen Hao. First, he was mocked by the girls, then Zhao Yifan humiliated him in front of everyone, and finally, he was thrown out of his own house. Who the hell did these people think he was? A timid kitty whom they could simply bully and kick? The fury inside Chen Hao became unbearable and it finally exploded. He took out his phone and rang Tang Ran and Zhao Zixing¡­ Chapter 147 Chen Hao, The Young Master Chen Chapter 147 Chen Hao, The Young Master Chen Chen Hao called Zhao Zixing and Tang Ran. He did not say much, instead he just told them toe to Cloud Mansion to take a look and hung up. As for what happened a while ago, the thought to tell them the truth really did cross Chen Hao¡¯s mind. But after some thought, he felt it wasn¡¯t necessary. Truth be told, it was more or less because of him that Zhao Yifan had be the person she was today. Zhao Yifan had changed tremendously after she was shown the video clips of Zhuang Qiang raping his stepmother by Chen Hao. She was fooled by Chen Hao once again after that. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Although he didn¡¯t know how Zhao Shan treated her, she seemed satisfied with Zhao Shan, and that made him feel disappointed. After thinking about it, Chen Hao thought it might be best not to call Zhao Zixing and just let this go. No! He still had a slight sense of selfishness. It dismayed him to think about how pretty Zhao Yifan was and he sensed that she was going to be in someone else¡¯s bed tonight. Although he didn¡¯t like her anymore, he was still a little upset. Moreover, this mansion belonged to him. He couldn¡¯t stomach the insult of being chased out of his own mansion by a group of outsiders. Chen Hao reached the foot of the mountain, and prepared to leave the ce. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Just then, Tang Ran rushed to him. She realized what was going on when she spotted the lights in Cloud Mansion from afar. How could she not be anxious about that? ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± However, Chen Hao ignored herpletely. He stood by the road and hailed a taxi and left at once. ¡°Shit, we¡¯re doomed!¡± Tang Ran said nervously. She was aware of this group of students who were visiting the mansion. Zhao Zixing had told her about it. Initially, Tang Ran disagreed with it. However, Zhao Zixing thought that he could do so after gainingpliments from Young Master Chen for his efforts in taking care of the renovation work. In addition to his useless son¡¯s relentless pestering, he thought it wouldn''t be a big deal to let his son take a look at Cloud Mansion. Even the son of his subordinate, Bai Xiaofei, had been there before. That was why Zhao Zixing agreed to pass the key to Zhao Shan. He thought Zhao Shan would take a look at the mansion and leave right after. Naturally Tang Ran didn¡¯t pay too much attention to it. But looking at how Young Master Chen ignored her just now, she felt really upset. Immediately, she went up the mountain in a hurry. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Tang Ran. Silence please, everyone. Let me introduce to you, she is the person in charge of taking care of Cloud Mansion. Like my dad, she is one of the important people who works for Young Master Chen!¡± Right then, Zhao Shan held Zhao Yifan¡¯s hand, and with a wine ss in his other hand, he came to face Tang Ran. These people here could be considered members of Young Master Chen¡¯s gang. Zhao Shan was familiar with many of them¡ªBai Xiaofei, Young Master Huang and many other bosses of the stores in Jin Ling Commercial Street. Even Zheng Yue was now his godsister. So naturally he was familiar with Tang Ran as well. ¡°Hello, Tang Ran!¡± ¡°You still have the mood to say hello. Young Master Zhao, do you know how much trouble you caused now?¡± Tang Ran was speechless. Once those words left her lips, the whole mansion went silent, even the music stopped. Zhao Shan was stunned and asked, ¡°Trouble? What trouble have I caused?¡± Tang Ran put her hand on her forehead and questioned, ¡°Who allowed you to hold a party at Cloud Mansion? I thought you were just here to have a quick look and leave right after that?¡± ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry. My dad told me that Young Master Chen is now in Southeast Asia so he won¡¯t be back here soon. Moreover, I¡¯ll make sure that everything returns to normal by tomorrow!¡± Zhao Shan said confidently. ¡°Bullsh*t. I¡¯m telling you now that Young Master Chen has juste here. I believe he has called your dad. You better exin the whole situation to your dadter!¡± Tang Ran said coldly. ¡°What? Young Master Chen was here just now?¡± Zhao Shan was dumbfounded. He remembered his dad told him that Young Master Chen was in Southeast Asia. Zhao Yifan was stunned as well. ¡°How is it possible that we don¡¯t know that Young Master Chen was here just now? We never met Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°Tang Ran, it¡¯s just a storm in a teacup! We have never met Young Master Chen but we did bump into a loser just now! Hahaha!¡± ¡°The loser left the mountain after we chased him away!¡± ¡°Ya, Tang Ran, we suggest you tighten the security here from now on. You shouldn¡¯t wait to do this three dayster!¡± the girls said one after the other. Tang Ran stopped responding to their questions. Apparently Young Master Zhao had no idea about Young Master Chen, and she wasn¡¯t in the position to tell him much about that. She just shook her head helplessly and left the mountain. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Tang Ran today? Why did she say that Young Master Chen came here just now? If he really came here, my dad would have called me at once¡­¡± Zhao Shanughed bitterly. His phone rang at that moment. Zhao Shan smiled and epted the call. ¡°Dad!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me dad! I¡¯m not your dad!¡± Zhao Zixing yelled in rage. He was panting heavily. No one knew what they talked about after that. They just saw Zhao Shan¡¯s face turning pale and his smile gradually disappearing. Zhao Shan didn¡¯t even know when his dad hung up the call. ¡°Young Master Zhao, what happened?¡± Zhao Yifan felt uneasy and asked worriedly. ¡°Shit, we¡¯re done! My dad just told me that Young Master Chen was really here just now. He even called my dad and Tang Ran. I¡¯m going to be dead meat! Sh*t!¡± Zhao Shan trembled in fright and dropped his phone. It was apparent that he feared his dad immensely. What was more was his dad sounded really serious. ¡°What? Young Master Chen really was here just now?¡± Zhao Yifan trembled profusely. Just as the girls said, no one came here before during the party except Chen Hao, the loser. Oh! Zhao Yifan thought of something suddenly. Chen Hao¡¯s surname is Chen right? He indeed became richer than he wasst time. Could he be the¡­ Young Master Chen? Ah! Is he really the Young Master Chen? Zhao Yifan¡¯s mind went nk in an instant. To be honest, this wasn¡¯t the first time for Zhao Yifan to doubt Chen Hao¡¯s identity. But everything was unclear and there wasn¡¯t any tangible evidence to prove that. But now, she felt that she was inches from the truth! Indeed, Chen Hao came here just now but was chased off after being ridiculed. Tang Ran then rushed to the mansion and Zhao Zixing called them immediately right after that. Both of them said that Young Master Chen was here just now. If Chen Hao was the mysterious Young Master Chen, all the iprehensible incidents that happened between Chen Hao and her would finally make sense! ¡°No way! It¡¯s impossible! Impossible for him to be the Young Master Chen! How could he be the Young Master Chen? ¡± Zhao Yifan was about to go crazy. If Chen Hao was really the Young Master Chen, Zhao Yifan would just jump off the cliff now and die. Had she missed the golden opportunity to have a good marriage from the very beginning? She could never ept this! At that moment, Zhao Shan scratched his head and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t guess blindly. How could that fe be the Young Master Chen? Moreover, would Young Master Chen keep such a low profile. That fe could have just tailed us secretly and reported to Young Master Chen about us! Listen guys, let¡¯s clean up here and leave the mountain as soon as possible. Otherwise, my dad will kill me if hees here!¡± Zhao Shan ordered in a hurry. Only then did everyone felt slightly relieved, including Zhao Yifan. They thought it was more likely that Chen Hao was a stalker who only shadowed them there. There wasn¡¯t any reason for Zhao Shan to deceive them. They believed that the mysterious Young Master Chen was actually in Southeast Asia all this time. After cleaning the ce, everyone rushed to the garage to get their cars and was ready to leave. ¡°Sh*t!¡± ¡°Damn!¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± When they arrived at the garage, they saw that there was one more car there¡ªa cool and shy Lamborghini Reventon sports car. All of them were stunned. ¡°Whose car is this? Young Master Zhao, is this yours?¡± everyone asked in surprise. ¡°How could that be mine? Mine is a Ferrari!¡± ¡°Then whose car could it be? There aren''t many people in Jin Ling who drive this type of sports car!¡± Everyone was curious. As Zhao Yifan looked at the car, her relief turned into unease at once. ¡°I know about this car¡­¡± Zhao Yifan mumbled in astonishment. Chapter 148 A Continuous Stream of Evidence Chapter 148 A Continuous Stream of Evidence ¡°You know about this car?¡± Zhao Shan and the rest of the guests asked in surprise. ¡°Yes, I do,¡± said Zhao Yifan firmly. ¡°This luxury car has always been parked in the garden of Jin Ling College. Rumor has it that this car was purchased by Young Master Chen. However, another rumor surfaced that this car was bought by a mysterious tycoon, who is known as Ordinary Guy from our college¡¯s Literature Department. Then, there were rumors that Ordinary Guy is actually Young Master Chen¡¯s online username.¡± ¡°If what you say is true, then this car should be parked on our campus instead. Why did he park his car here?¡± ¡°Because Young Master Chen owns this manor!¡± Zhao Yifan frowned and said in disbelief. Everyone believed that Chen Hao was Young Master Chen, however she alone refused to believe it as she feared the consequences. Back in the manor just now, she racked her brains to find a reason to disprove the growing evidence which suggested that Chen Hao was Young Master Chen. She only needed one reason to prevent Chen Hao¡¯s reputation from growing. Finally, after much difficulty, Zhao Shan finally gave her a reason to disprove the theory that Chen Hao was Young Master Chen. However, how could she exin the situation now? The tycoon Ordinary Guy¡¯s car was parked here and there were rumors that suggested he was Young Master Chen. It was almost certain now that Ordinary Guy was Young Master Chen! Tang Ran had told her that Young Master Chen came here just now. However, the only person who came here just now was Chen Hao! And both Ordinary Guy and Chen Hao were in the Literature Department. Zhao Yifan¡¯s breathing started to increase rapidly. Why? Why did all the events that transpired pointed toward the fact that Chen Hao was the mysterious Young Master Chen? ¡°Sigh! It seems that guy just now has some influence as well. Ok everyone, listen to me. The next time we meet him, we should try to avoid him as much as possible. If it is not possible to do that, then we should at least treat him with courtesy,¡± ordered Zhao Shan as he inhaled a breath of cold air. He was a bold guy, but since he was young he had always been taught to believe in a single concept, that was to tread cautiously as long as the ¡®Chen¡¯ surname was tied to the matter. And this situation called for it. He did not know Chen Hao¡¯s identity, but he would still treat him with a certain degree of courtesy. Then, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right? With that, Zhao Shan looked at Zhao Yifan and said, ¡°Yifan, don¡¯t think too much about it. Just listen to me and treat Chen Hao with some courtesy and respect the next time you see him. At most, we will apologize to him personally for the things that happened today.¡± ¡°Treat him with courtesy? Apologize? Why should I apologize to him politely? Young Master Zhao, you are Jin Ling¡¯s General Manager Zhao¡¯s son. How can you be afraid of a loser like Chen Hao? Didn¡¯t you say that you would beat up anybody that I can¡¯t stand? Ok, then let me tell you this, I can¡¯t stand Chen Hao, go and beat him to death! As long as you seed in doing that, I will be yours from now on!¡± Zhao Yifan jumped with agitation. That was because Zhao Shan, who was omnipotent in her mind, actually admitted defeat when faced with Chen Hao! Didn¡¯t that mean that Chen Hao was even more powerful than Zhao Shan? Since it was somebody that she looked down upon, then he should always be a scumbag. Zhao Yifan absolutely did not want Chen Hao to have such a good reputation. Thus she screamed like a madwoman. ¡°Damn it, Zhao Yifan, are you crazy?" Zhao Shan asked with displeasure. Zhao Yifan¡¯s conditions were quite tempting and although he was a Cassanova and had always done as he pleased, he wasn¡¯t stupid. It was very likely that Chen Hao was Young Master Chen, so how could he beat him to death? He should consider himself lucky just to be alive after scolding him! ¡°I don¡¯t care. Chen Hao is not Young Master Chen anyway. Didn¡¯t you say that he might be a stalker? So, how could he be Young Master Chen? How is it possible?! Furthermore, he is famous for being a poor loser on our campus!¡± Zhao Yifan nearly burst into tears. Zhao Shan was very unsure about the situation, given his perturbed state of mind. At this moment, Zhao Shan¡¯s mobile phone rang. He took a nce at it, and immediately answered the call angrily, not hesitating to put it on hands-free mode. ¡°F*ck you, Su Jie! Where have you been? Didn¡¯t you say that you woulde to the Cloud Manor with Lin Jiao tonight? Why are you not here yet? Did you guys get a hotel room together or something?¡± Zhao Shan scolded. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it anymore, Young Master Zhao. I got myself into some serious trouble today and I was nearly beaten to death by my father. My mother just finished treating my wounds.¡± ¡°What? Mr. Su actually beat you? But he spoils you to no end! You must have gotten yourself into some big trouble. Unless you have offended somebody from the Chen family, otherwise I can¡¯t think of any other reason why he would beat you so severely.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t even know who I offended today. I wouldn¡¯t dream of offending somebody from the Chen family. I am not that dumb. The reason for my severe punishment was that I nearly got into a conflict with a few people from the Literature Department today. Did you know that Zheng Yue even hit me? And the reason for that was because I offended somebody named Li Rui, who was also known as Young Master Li today. Lin Jiao is acquainted with him.¡± ¡°What the f*ck? Li Rui? Young Master Li? Why haven¡¯t I heard of his name before? Did you say that Zheng Yue hit you because of him?¡± Zhao Shan was dumbfounded. What was going on today? ¡°Wait a minute, what did you say? Li Rui? Moreover, you are absolutely sure that Lin Jiao is acquainted with them?¡± When she heard Su Jie¡¯s words, Zhao Yifan¡¯s petite body started to tremble. She immediately leaned closer to the mobile phone and asked. ¡°By the way, Yifan, I think you know him as well. Lin Jiao told me that you often went to mixer parties with his roommates. Who is Li Rui anyway? Damn it, he is way too powerful!¡± ¡°Uh huh, I see. Ok, I understand. However, Li Rui is a poor loser and he does not have any power or influence, so how was he able to cause such a stir?¡± ¡°I know right? I even checked again specifically. I found out that Li Rui did not have any powerful background as his family is very poor. The only glory his family had was back in the Ming Dynasty where one of his family members came in third in the Han-lin examination and that is it! I don¡¯t N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. understand why my father had to beat me up so viciously.¡± Su Jie even went through Li Rui¡¯s ancestral records. The deeper he dug, the more he didn¡¯t understand. However, Zhao Yifan suddenly paused, as if recalling something. She did not want to ask about that person, but she gave in atst. ¡°Su Jie, let me ask you this again, was there a person named Chen Hao beside Li Rui?¡± asked Zhao Yifan solemnly. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. How did you know? Yes, there was a person named Chen Hao and he is Young Master Li¡¯s underling. Chen Hao was in charge of arranging their reservations at hotels and restaurants. At that time, he even picked up a wine bottle and smashed it against my cousin¡¯s head. I think he is also acquainted with Yue.¡± Su Jie voiced all his doubts. ¡°It¡¯s him again!¡± Zhao Yifan was surprised once again. How could Li Rui be Young Master Li? He was just a follower. Moreover, there was a 90% chance that Chen Hao was the legendary Young Master Chen of Jin Ling who owned countless properties. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. We should not offend that guy named Chen Hao. The next time we meet him, we should apologize to him. If he really is Young Master Chen, then we are all doomed!¡± ¡°Yes, he is right. Luckily we did not say anything mean to Chen Hao. Even when I was grabbing him, I was gentle with him.¡± Some of the girls were so terrified their faces drained of color. Zhao Shan also nodded his head solemnly in regards to this matter. Zhao Yifan onlyughed heartily when she saw that everybody was terrified of Chen Hao. ¡°Haha, cowards! You guys are all cowards! How could a loser like him scare the living daylights out of all of you? Fine, you are all afraid of him right? I hereby announce that I, Zhao Yifan, am not afraid of him. What¡¯s so great about him anyway? I don¡¯t believe that you guys even have the audacity to call him Young Master Chen! Chen Hao is only a jerk, a moron, and a loser!¡± Zhao Yifan balled her fists so tightly that her nails dug deeply into her palms. She could not ept this and she was feeling quite upset about it. How could a bunch of powerful people be afraid of a guy like Chen Hao? On the other hand, Chen Hao had already gone back to his dormitory. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to ask Zhao Zixing how he would settle this matter. He slept till the next morning. The next day, Chen Hao went back to his usual self. Only then did he remember Lin Jiao¡¯s condition. After all, he did knock her down, so he was going to check up on her to see whether she had awoken yet. Chapter 149 Lin Jiao Lost Her Memories Chapter 149 Lin Jiao Lost Her Memories Chen Hao did not drive, instead he took a cab to the hospital. Lin Jiao was staying in a private VIP ward. When Chen Hao arrived, the environment was quiet and peaceful. ¡°Get out! Get out of my room, all of you! I refuse to be examined until I meet the Young Master who saved my life. Get lost!¡± Unexpectedly, he heard Lin Jiao¡¯s angry cry just as he reached the entrance of the ward. Soon after, a group of senior doctors and nurses ran out of the room as Lin Jiao started flinging things in their direction. ¡°Sigh! Miss Lin really has a bad temper. What if her condition worsens because of a dy in treatment since she won¡¯t allow us to examine her?¡± ¡°Yes, we wouldn¡¯t be able to bear the responsibility then,¡± said some of the nurses anxiously. Suddenly, their gazes shifted toward Chen Hao who was carrying some fruits in his arms. ¡°Young Master Chen, you finally came! The patient is awake and insists on meeting you.¡± Several pretty nurses immediately surrounded Chen Hao. Due to Chen Hao¡¯s extravagant arrival in a Lamborghini the other day, he naturally caught the attention of the pretty nurses there and they started addressing him respectfully as Young Master Chen. ¡°Oh, Dr. Zhao, when did Lin Jiao wake up? How is her condition?¡± Chen Hao nodded his head casually in the direction of the nurses, then he turned toward the middle- aged primary care doctor, whose surname was Zhao, and asked. When Dr. Zhao saw him, his eyes gleamed. He then waved his hand at the rest of the doctors, signalling them to leave. ¡°Nice to meet you, Young Master Chen. The patient only suffered a mild concussion, as such, she is fine now. Moreover, we gave her a type of medication to wipe out her memories. Currently, she has lost N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. approximately half a month¡¯s worth of it.¡± Dr. Zhao smiled in a ttering manner. Obviously, he seemed to know Chen Hao¡¯s identity. Chen Hao was puzzled. After sending Lin Jiao here yesterday, he made a phone call to Zhao Zixing and asked him to arrange a ward in the hospital for her as well as a designated team of medical personnel. However, he did not say that he wanted Lin Jiao to lose her memories! However, it wasn''t difficult to figure out who did it. What must have happened was, after Chen Hao hung up the phone, Zhao Zixing must have immediately called up the hospital. Not only did he arrange for the ward and the medical personnel, he even reminded them to make Lin Jiao forget what had happened to her. Zhao Zixing is indeed a meticulous person! Chen Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. However, it was fine with him. At least, it would be less cumbersome for him in the future. ¡°Ok, thank you for your troubles. You will be rewarded for your efforts. I will go in to visit her first.¡± ¡°Ok, Young Master Chen!¡± Chen Hao pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Get lost, I told you already¡­ F*ck, Chen Hao, why are you here?¡± Lin Jiao grabbed a ss of water and was about to smash it, but she froze instantly the moment she saw Chen Hao. To be honest, since waking up from her groggy statest night and after getting over her initial phase of disbelief, Lin Jiao started to throw a hissy fit after seeing how the medical personnel treated her with the utmost care. In the beginning, Lin Jiao had asked them how she ended up in the hospital. The doctors told her that a Young Master had arranged for her stay in the hospital. Moreover, he even arranged for her to stay in a VIP ward. When Lin Jiao started asking anxiously about the whereabouts of the Young Master, the doctors refused to tell her. In addition to that, all of them were treating her with a mixture of fear and respect at the same time, which led to Lin Jiao¡¯s outrageous actions. However, she never expected to meet Chen Hao here. ¡°Judging by your loud voice, you seemed to have recovered quite a bit.¡± Chen Hao set the fruits down and sat down. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. Why did youe here, Chen Hao? Wait a minute, don¡¯t tell me that you rescued me? But what happened to me? Why don¡¯t I recall anything?¡± Lin Jiao asked in surprise. ¡°I did rescue you. As to what happened, you were walking in the campus grounds that day and because you were in a hurry, you tripped over a rock and you hit your head against another rock. Then, I came to your rescue and brought you to the hospital,¡± said Chen Hao without batting an eyelid. ¡°Oh, so that was what happened. Ahem!¡± Lin Jiao covered her face shamefully. Chen Hao nearlyughed out loud. ¡°Why do you seem disappointed about the fact that I was the one who rescued you?¡± Hmph, of course I am disappointed! Originally, Lin Jiao had wanted a car to knock her down lightly. The car must be a luxury car and the owner of the car must be a tall, rich and handsome gentleman. It would be best if it was raining yesterday night. Then, the tall, rich and handsome gentleman would crouch carefully amidst the rain. Then, he would hold her and gently pat her on the face and asked anxiously, ¡°Miss, are you alright?¡± Then, seeing that she was unconscious, he would carry her into the car and bring her quickly to the hospital. Following that, he would bring along a lot of delicious fruits to visit her and even peel some apples for her. After that, he would bring her for walks in the garden. Then, after they have gotten along with each other for half a month, they would have developed feelings for each other. He would fall in love with her and propose to her under a starry night sky. During the marriage proposal, the sky would light up with fireworks spelling the words ¡®I love you¡¯. ¡°Jiao, I love you. Will you marry me? I am willing to give you everything that I have in exchange for a lifetime of your happiness.¡± ¡°Yes, I will!¡± Then, on this romantic night, they will start kissing each other. However, halfway through the kiss, Lin Jiao opened her eyes. I¡¯ll be damned! Chen Hao? So, you could imagine how Lin Jiao felt at this time. ¡°Hey, why are you holding my hands? I am asking you a question. Are you disappointed that I was the one who rescued you?¡± Chen Hao looked at Lin Jiao¡¯s besotted face and couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly and ask. ¡°Huh? No-No way! Sigh, Chen Hao, you are not that short and in terms of appearance, if you wear some proper-looking clothes, you will be quite handsome. Now that you have won the lottery and have some money and connections, you can be considered a tall, rich and handsome guy already!¡± ¡°However, you are still a far cry from the real deal. I don¡¯t know how to exin it, but I think it might be due to your disposition or aura.¡± Lin Jiao added begrudgingly, ¡°I thought that the tall, rich and handsome man of my dreams came to rescue me. However, you are not too bad yourself.¡± Lin Jiao knew that Chen Hao was quite rich, although he might have earned the money from bing somebody¡¯s boytoy. However, as long as he was rich, she could try to bewitch him. Then, all the money would be hers! Chen Hao could roughly make out that Lin Jiao¡¯s current memories were of the time in the Broadcasting Department before Zhao Yifan mistakenly thought that he wanted to confess to her. ¡°Chen Hao, could you peel some apples for me?¡± Lin Jiao held her cheeks in her hands and cocked her head to one side while looking at Chen Hao¡¯s good-looking face. She even gave him a small smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t bring any apples. Do you want a banana instead?¡± Chen Hao was feeling guilty about knocking her down and causing her to lose her memories. He felt bad about it. Hence, Chen Hao broke off a huge banana and gave it to her. ¡°I won¡¯t¡­ Eww! I won¡¯t eat it. Take it away.¡± ¡°Chen Hao, can you buy some apples for me? I would like to eat some peeled apples.¡± Lin Jiao tugged Chen Hao¡¯s hand. He immediately pulled his hand back and said, ¡°Ok, I will go get some for you. Just wait here for me.¡± With that, he slipped away quickly. Just as Chen Hao entered the elevator, the elevator beside him opened and four or five girls could be seen carrying a fruit basket. ¡°Yifan, did Lin Jiao exin in her call just now? This is the VIP ward you know!¡± ¡°Yes, don¡¯t worry Xu Xia, we have agreed on that matter. Come, let¡¯s go and visit her.¡± Chapter 150 The Mr. Hero Chapter 150 The Mr. Hero ¡°1902! It¡¯s this one!¡¯ Xu Xia nced at the ward number and opened the door. ¡°Jiao, we¡¯re here to visit you!¡± ¡°Yifan, Xu Xia, you¡¯re here!¡± Lin Jiao was eating a banana. She was delighted to see Zhao Yifan and Xu Xia who came to visit her. They exchanged a few words and asked about her condition before finally talking about the whole incident. ¡°What? Chen Hao was the one who saved you? Where¡¯s he now?¡± Zhao Yifan stood up at once and asked in surprise. Everyone was startled by her actions. At the moment, the one who was particrly sensitive to the name ¡®Chen Hao¡¯ was no other than Zhao Yifan. After going back to the dorm yesterday, she kept thinking about Chen Hao instead of Young Master Zhao. Her heart ached and she felt petrified. What should she do if Chen Hao was really the Young Master Chen? To be honest, Zhao Yifan even had the urge to leave her room and dash to Chen Hao¡¯s dormitory. She wanted to give him a hug and apologize to him, then ask him to make up with her and that she would treat him well after this. She was ready to risk everything. But after she thought about it again, it would be awkward if Chen Hao wasn¡¯t the Young Master Chen, since Young Master Chen was just a vague character that no one knows. Sigh, I don¡¯t want to think about it anymore! Anyhow, Zhao Yifan felt unprecedentedly irksome about that. So as soon as she heard about Chen Hao, she wanted to meet him and get a clear exnation from him. After all, she had deleted all his contacts after she knew that she was fooled by him. ¡°Yifan, are you alright? Why are you so agitated?¡± everyone asked curiously. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just because I haven¡¯t seen this bastard in a long time. It stoked my anger when I heard his name!¡± Zhao Yifan merely came up with an excuse as a reply. She was sharp enough to keep quiet about the incident that happened yesterday. ¡°Hmph! Me too! How can Chen Hao treat you like that? It¡¯s making me freaking angry to think about that!¡± Xu Xia said. ¡°Hey, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand at all! Why is Chen Hao a bastard?¡± Lin Jiao was puzzled. ¡°Jiao, did you really lose your memories?¡± Xu Xia and Yifan asked worriedly. Later, they told Lin Jiao everything that happened before that. ¡°Huh? I don¡¯t buy that. I don¡¯t believe Chen Hao is seeing someone else!¡± Lin Jiao shook her head profusely. When Zhao Yifan asked Lin Jiao if she still remembered Su Jie, she shook her head again. She had no idea why it irked her to hear the name Su Jie. What was more, she seemed to tell herself that ''Chen Hao is the guy you are after''. It was really weird. Noticing that Lin Jiao seemed reluctant to talk about the things that happened before this, everyone stopped the conversation. As for Zhao Yifan, she was smart enough to sense the feelings Lin Jiao seemed to have for Chen Hao now. It was because she kept mentioning Chen Hao. She even asked if anyone noticed that Chen Hao was quite good-looking and so on. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yifan felt jealous. She felt annoyed, as if someone kept praising her own boyfriend in front of everyone, and even had the intention of snatching her boyfriend from her. However, she felt even more frustrated to remind herself that Chen Hao was no longer her boyfriend! ¡°Sigh, why isn¡¯t Chen Hao back yet? It shouldn¡¯t take long for him to buy me some apples.¡± Lin Jiao wanted to see Chen Hao as soon as possible, so she called him. But Chen Hao¡¯s phone had been turned off. What¡¯s going on? Indeed, something happened. Chen Hao¡¯s phone was lying on the ground, broken. Just a moment ago, Chen Hao went downstairs to the fruit stalls. After getting some apples, he was about to scan the QR code to make payment. Suddenly, the woman beside him knocked against his arm identally. He didn¡¯t grip his phone properly, so it fell on the ground and spoiled. Chen Hao had been using this phone for two or three years and he was reluctant to change to a new phone. Chen Hao was stunned and quickly picked it up. ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m really sorry, sir! I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I¡¯ll buy a new one for you!¡± the woman said frantically. Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll bring it to a repair shop. Huh?¡± As he met the gaze of the woman, Chen Hao froze in a daze. The woman was stunned as well. ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± ¡°Oh it¡¯s you guys!¡± he said, surprised. The woman in front of him appeared to be in her early thirties. She was dressed elegantly with shoulder-length hair. In addition to her fair skin, beautiful figure and delicate features, she would have definitely attracted everyone¡¯s eyes on the street. There was a four to five-year-old girl with her hair in a cute little bun standing beside her. They were the little girl, whom Chen Hao had saved from drowning in the river near the milk tea shop, and her mother. It was the time he went to buy milk tea with Su Tongxin. He ran to the rescue once he heard someone yelling for help. It was then Ning Fan took the chance to abduct Su Tongxin. Chen Hao remembered that clearly. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Mr. Hero! Mama, aren¡¯t you searching for Mr. Hero all this time?¡± the little girl with the bun said happily. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. She even trotted to him and held his hand. Looking at the little girl, Chen Hao felt warm and friendly, which made him gently pinch her cheeks. ¡°Sir, we are fated to meet each other! Since you saved Mengmengst time, I¡¯ve been looking for you to express our gratitude, but you were nowhere to be found! Never thought we¡¯d meet here today!¡± The woman looked at Chen Hao and gave him a friendly smile. Indeed, women were the same¡ªthey would always remember the one who helped them at their most desperate moment. This woman in front of him was having that exact feeling. She felt safe and familiar when she saw Chen Hao. ¡°Anyone would have done the same thing, you don¡¯t have to worry. Is her name Mengmeng? It¡¯s great that Mengmeng is fine.¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°Still, we should show our gratitude. I¡¯m Tang Wan and my daughter is Tang Mengmeng,¡± Tang Wan said with a smile while smoothing her hair. ¡°My name is Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, are you free now? If you have nothing important now, let¡¯s have lunch together since it¡¯s almost lunch time. It¡¯s my treat!¡± Tang Wan was the kind of woman who was well-seasoned from her years of experience in society. She exuded mature charm. ¡°Uncle Chen Hao, just say yes. Let¡¯s go home and have lunch! My mum is really good at cooking!¡± Mengmeng pleaded while swinging his arm. Truth be told, he didn¡¯t have anything important to do currently but he didn¡¯t feel like epting her offer as well. After all, it wasmon sense to lend a hand to save others. It wasn¡¯t necessary to pay him back for it. But since Mengmeng was pleading with him, Chen Hao felt bad to let her down so he nodded his head. ¡°Oh ya, Miss Tang Wan, I¡¯m actually buying some fruits for my ssmate.¡± Chen Hao just remembered Lin Jiao was waiting for him. ¡°Hmm, sir, my phone was broken. I can¡¯t pay with my e-wallet. I need to pay by cash!¡± He searched for his wallet. Only then he recalled that he left his wallet and identity card in his Lamborghini when he was in a rage and left his car therest night. ¡°Sir, how much are these? I¡¯ll pay for him. Also, please help us to deliver these fruits to the ward and tell the patient that he is going for lunch with his friends.¡± Tang Wan smiled and said, ¡°Oh and Chen Hao, I¡¯ll buy you a new pher!¡± The reason Tang Wan said so was that she noticed Chen Hao wasn¡¯t really worried about the patient he was visiting. They must just be ordinary acquaintances. And that was why she made the decision for Chen Hao. Chen Hao felt relief at what she did. Indeed, he didn¡¯t want to go back to face Lin Jiao¡¯s pettish behavior. ¡°Hooray, Mr. Hero is having lunch at our home!¡± Holding Chen Hao¡¯s hand, Mengmeng danced in excitement and joy. Mengmeng really liked Chen Hao who had saved her life. While getting into Tang Wan¡¯s red BMW 7 Series, Chen Hao spotted her name card in the car. He was astonished as he had a look at it. Tang Wan was actually a CEO of apany at her young age! Chapter 151 Mr. Chen Hao Is a Good Guy Chapter 151 Mr. Chen Hao Is a Good Guy ¡°Miss Tang Wan, are you the CEO of this clothing designpany?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but ask in a surprised tone. She gave off a strong woman vibe judging from her temperament, but he didn¡¯t expect her to be so impressive. ¡°Why? Do I not look like one?¡± While driving, Tang Wan looked in the rearview mirror and smiled at Chen Hao. ¡°Also, drop the formality. You make me sound like I¡¯m very old when in fact, I¡¯m just a little older than you. You can just call me by name,¡± Tang Wanined. Chen Hao nodded and said, ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll drop the formality, Miss Tang Wan!¡± Pfff! Tang Wan was amused by Chen Hao andughed at once. Initially, Chen Hao wanted to ask about Tang Wan¡¯s family. He was curious that Mengmeng¡¯s surname was Tang. He thought that maybe she was a single mom, but he felt like he was invading her privacy, so he kept quiet. After that, Tang Wan drove to the supermarket and bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and then they arrived at her home. As expected, Tang Wan¡¯s house was neat and clean. He looked around and didn¡¯t notice any trace of a man living in the house. It made him feelfortable. Tang Wan was indeed excellent at cooking. In a short while, she had prepared a table of food which was more delicious than the dishes in Hot Spring Vi. It would be a great blessing for a man to be married to Tang Wan. Tang Wan was very outgoing and good at socializing as well. After the conversation they had during the meal, Chen Hao regretted not having met Tang Wan earlier. They were like old friends who had known each other for a long time. Looking at Chen Hao, Tang Wan was attracted by his down-to-earth personality. After getting to know each other, their conversation flowed smoothly. ¡°Chen Hao, you must be curious about Mengmeng¡¯s father, right?¡± Propping her cheeks, she asked him. ¡°No, not really,¡± Chen Hao replied to her awkwardly. ¡°Not really? You were wandering and looking around the room. What were you looking for then?¡± Tang Wan asked while grinning at Chen Hao. It made Chen Hao feel a little embarrassed. Tang Wan was really someone experienced. She had observed his behavior just now. She could even see through his mind and knew what he wanted to ask. It made Chen Hao feel like he was an elementary student in front of her. ¡°Hmph. I can see through it, but I don¡¯t have anything to hide from you. Mengmeng¡¯s father had passed away for a long time, so there¡¯s only two of us. During weekdays, I am at my office and Mengmeng goes to preschool. We usually go out during weekends. Recently, an evil young master has invested heavily in Jin Ling all of a sudden, and it has caused many medium and small-sized enterprises to face a crisis. It distressed me a lot, which was why I was distracted and Mengmeng fell into the river. You wouldn¡¯t know how helpless I was at that time. How great would it be to have a man by my side to depend on.¡± Tang Wan¡¯s cheek had turned red after drinking a few sses of wine. It made her look even more gorgeous. To be honest, Chen Hao had always liked girls who were about the same age as him or younger than him. He had never interacted with women in their thirties before. Particrly, a pretty and mature woman like Tang Wan. Chen Hao was distracted by her charm and he couldn¡¯t help but stare at her. However, he could only keep his thoughts to himself. Chen Hao was too shy to remark on her situation as he was really grateful that she had invited him for lunch. He didn¡¯t know how to respond to her when she said she wished to have a man by her side. So he asked instead, ¡°Miss Tang Wan, you mentioned that there¡¯s an evil young master whounched a sudden investment in Jin Ling. What does that mean?¡± ¡°Haha, we can just skip that. But you should have heard about the most evil young master in Jin Ling, Young Master Chen, right? The one from Jin Ling Commercial Street!¡± Tang Wan suddenly raised her voice and said angrily. ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Hao almost choked to death when he heard that. Since when had he be the most evil young master in Jin Ling? ¡°I¡¯ve heard about him before, but many people say that he¡¯s quite nice!¡± Chen Hao said with a blush on his face. ¡°How can you say that he¡¯s nice? You don¡¯t know about the business world. Young Master Chen investments but in fact, they messed up the whole business circle in Jin Ling. The bnce in our business circle was broken once the invested enterprises developed rapidly, which led us, the medium and small-sized enterprises, to face severe business crises. There are a lot of business owners who hate him!¡± Tang Wan said. Chen Hao was perplexed as he heard that and stopped eating. Chen Hao was clear about the huge investments that he had done in Jin Ling. All those projects were invested by him on behalf of his sister, including the project of the Hope Elementary School. Chen Hao didn¡¯t pay much attention to that. He just followed what his sister had told him to do. After making those investments, he didn¡¯t study about the progress and consequences as well. He didn¡¯t know that these investments would spoil the bnce of the business circle in Jin Ling. Because Tang Wan was worrying about her business being threatened by the investments done by him, she didn¡¯t look after Mengmeng properly. That would mean that he was part of the reason Mengmeng fell into the river. Chen Haoughed an ironicugh silently. ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s not talk about this. Oh yeah, Chen Hao, you¡¯re going for an internship soon right? Where do you n to go?¡± Tang Wan asked. Chen Hao was an honest and kind person, but Tang Wan realized that Chen Hao¡¯s financial condition was probably not good judging from his clothing and phone that he used. She was grateful to him as he had saved her daughter¡¯s life before, so she was concerned about his future too. ¡°I don¡¯t really have a n yet,¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°It¡¯s okay. If you want, you maye to mypany for an internship. I¡¯ll pay you double. As long as you work with me, I guarantee that you will be able to buy a house in Jin Ling in the next five years!¡± Tang Wan had the urge to keep Chen Hao by her side. ¡°Mummy, there is no need for Uncle Chen Hao to buy a house. He can just stay with us! When I grow upter, I¡¯ll buy my own house and then you two can live together!¡± Mengmeng cut in the conversation suddenly. ¡°Mengmeng, what are you talking about? How could I live with Uncle Chen Hao? Only spouses live together, understand?¡± Tang Wanughed helplessly. ¡°Oh, I understand now!¡± Tang Wan nced at Chen Hao and noticed that he was just smiling without saying anything. She then said, ¡°Chen Hao, do consider what I said. Although it isn¡¯t a bigpany, it still has bright Content held by N?velDrama.Org. prospects.¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. He thought, you wouldn¡¯t have said that if you knew that I was the Young Master Chen who put your However, looking at their friendly rtionship now, Chen Hao thought to lend a hand as he owned the responsibilities for creating a huge crisis for Tang Wan¡¯spany. ¡°Mommy, I¡¯m full. Uncle Chen Hao, let¡¯s go buy some toys downstairs!¡± Mengmeng wiped her little mouth and said. ¡°Buy toys? Mummy will buy it for you tomorrow!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to. I want Uncle Chen Hao to bring me there!¡± Mengmeng liked to be with Chen Hao. She kept holding Chen Hao¡¯s hand with no sign of letting go. Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll bring her to buy some toys. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll look after her!¡± Chen Hao then went downstairs with Mengmeng. On the way to the toy store, Mengmeng kept clinging onto Chen Hao. Chen Hao felt happy but his heart ached for Mengmeng at the same time. No matter how strong Tang Wan is, she is still a single mom with no man to rely on, and Mengmeng is a child from a single-parent family. He then asked, ¡°Mengmeng, do you enjoy spending time with me?¡± Tang Mengmeng nodded her head profusely and said, ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re a good guy, unlike those bad uncles whoe to my house. Not only do they beat my mom, sometimes they beat me too!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Hao was shocked to hear that. Initially, Chen Hao wanted to understand more about the situation so that he could help them in the future, but he didn¡¯t expect Mengmeng to reveal something like this. Bad uncle. Does that mean that Tang Wan hasplicated rtionships? Who are those people? How could they even beat a child? Chapter 152 The Villain in the Zhou Family Chapter 152 The Viin in the Zhou Family It was the truth, because which sessful woman in society did not have the backings of a few men? However, after listening to those words, Chen Hao was inexplicably disappointed. He wanted to help Tang Wan because other than the fact that she was pretty, Chen Hao really liked Mengmeng. Maybe it was because Mengmeng was rescued by him, and that naturally made him feel closer to her. However, it seemed that he was too naive in his thinking as Tang Wan might not need his help. As for the reason for his disappointment, that was because Chen Hao thought that Tang Wan was an escort. Otherwise, why would Mengmeng say that many guys came to look for her mother? Sigh! However, this was Tang Wan¡¯s private life and it had nothing to do with him. After they bought the presents, Chen Hao brought Mengmeng back to the small neighborhood. Mengmeng was chatting away happily when suddenly she grabbed hold of Chen Hao¡¯s arms anxiously. Chen Hao did not know what she saw but she was so frightened that her face was drained of color. Moreover, her eyes were staring fixedly at a ck-colored Mercedes which was parked below their apartment building not too long ago. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mengmeng?¡± Chen Hao asked in surprise. ¡°Mister Chen, that viin is here again. He beat up my mother and me, and this is his car,¡± said Mengmeng anxiously while hiding behind Chen Hao¡¯s back immediately. ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. Nobody was inside the car, thus indicating that the person had gone upstairs already. He had just eaten a meal that was prepared by Tang Wan, so how could he leave her like that just because it had nothing to do with him? ¡°Let¡¯s go, Mengmeng. Let¡¯s go upstairs quickly!¡± Chen Hao immediately carried Mengmeng and ran upstairs. When they arrived, the door was left unlocked. Amotion could be heard from the inside. ¡°You b*tch! Why are there three sets of bowls and chopsticks? Tell me, did another guye here?¡± The harsh voice of a middle-aged man could be heard. ¡°Xu Dayuan, are you crazy? What happens in my house is none of your business!¡± Tang Wan shot back. ¡°Hmph, I see that a man has been here. Tang Wan, we had a deal half a month ago. As long as I helped you get that business deal and give you some working capital to tide you over this crisis, you agreed to be my woman. I have done everything for you. If I hadn¡¯t, did you think that yourpany could withstand the impact caused by Young Master Chen of Jin Ling Commercial Street? Your ¡°Now that I have upheld my end of the bargain, how dare you seduce another man? Fine, I will get the interest back today first. Hehe! I have always wanted to have sex with you. Now I don¡¯t have to hold myself back anymore!¡± Then, the sounds of crashing tes could be heard. ¡°Get off me, you jerk! You are such a scumbag!¡± Tang Wan cried out. Chen Hao happened to stumble upon this scene when he pushed the door open. ¡°Stop it!¡± Chen Hao gave a shout and picked up the flower vase beside him. Then, he rushed over to the bald man who was on top of Tang Wan and brought the vase down upon him. Xu Dayuan¡¯s head was cracked open. ¡°Damn it, who the f*ck are you?¡± Xu Dayuan covered his head while holding his pants as he cursed in anger. ¡°Mom, are you alright?¡± Mengmeng rushed to her mother¡¯s side to help her up. Her clothes were ripped apart by Xu Dayuan, exposing her snow-white skin. Chen Hao picked up a stool again and was staring fixedly at Xu Dayuan. Chen Hao knew in general what was going on. It was because of his investment that Tang Wan¡¯spany was going under. Then, Xu Dayuan added on to her list of troubles by asking her to offer herself up in exchange for his help. To put it bluntly, all these happened because he did not think things through when he made that decision, and that had caused these negative chain of events to unfold. Chen Hao felt guilty when he saw Tang Wan being bullied. At that moment, his heart was burning with righteous ardor. ¡°Damn, I knew it! Tang Wan, is he the boy toy that you have been keeping all this while? How dare he have the balls to hit me! You better watch out kid, I am going to skin you alive!¡± Xu Dayuan continued to cause a ruckus while cursing away. Chen Hao was not afraid of him as he picked up the stool and rushed forward. Back when he was raised in his hometown, Chen Hao had been through a lot of hardships. Although he was penniless, a coward and a weakling, he had a lot of muscle strength. If his hands were forced, even a fat guy like Xu Dayuan was not his match. Hence, Xu Dayuan was beaten up so badly that he kept howling in pain. In the end, he fled away, looking battered and exhausted. ¡°Are you alright, Tang Wan?¡± Chen Hao threw the stool down and asked with concern. Tang Wan dried her tears and shook her head. ¡°I am alright. That jerk came up not long after you guys left. Luckily, you came back in time, or else, I would have been¡­¡± ¡°I would rather not speak about it. Anyway, you have saved me and my daughter twice in a row, so I can¡¯t let you bear the burden of this situation. It is best if you leave here quickly. Xu Dayuan¡¯s thirst for revenge is strong, and he has the backing of the Xu family, hence he is a very powerful man Jin Ling. Since he didn¡¯t take a good look at your face yet, you should escape quickly,¡± said Tang Wan anxiously. Nobody knew Xu Dayuan better than her. In the past, somebody told her that Xu Dayuan took an interest in one of the service girls at the bar and wanted her to apany him. However, the service girl¡¯s boyfriend, who was also working at the bar, refused adamantly and got into a scuffle. In the end, Xu Dayuan ordered his underlings to give the young man a severe beating and to sever his limbs. After that, he raped that girl and allowed his underlings to gang rape her as well. In short, Xu Dayuan was a heartless beast without a shred of humanity left in him. He relied on the backings of the powerful Xu family and continued on with his wanton ways. And now, since Chen Hao had beat him up in order to rescue her, he would never let Chen Hao off the hook. If he did not escape now, then he would never be able to escapeter. ¡°I am not afraid of him. Besides, if I leave, what options do you guys have? Xu Dayuan will never let both of you get away with it.¡± Chen Hao was not afraid of him indeed. Moreover, if he were to allow Xu Dayuan to escape like that, then it would be better if he wasn¡¯t a human being at all. He might as well jump off the building right now. ¡°Why don¡¯t you take Mengmeng away? I will stay behind as I believe that I can calm his anger,¡± Tang Wan gritted her teeth and said. Everybody knew the meaning behind her words. ¡°I think we should hide from him first. You and Mengmeng can follow me as I have a ce in mind. Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely settle Xu Dayuan for you.¡± Chen Hao felt that it was inconvenient to reveal his identity to her now, so he could only give her a determined look. The main reason was because his mobile phone was smashed into pieces, therefore, he was unable to contact Li Zhenguo and the rest of them. So, the only thing he could do now was to hide. Then, after he got himself a new phone, he believed that solving this matter wouldn¡¯t be too troublesome at all. Tang Wan was still a woman after all. She hadpletely lost her decision-making skills after encountering this situation. Seeing Chen Hao¡¯s solemn vow and determined look, she could only nod her head. Then, she packed a few simple things and the three of them headed downstairs. Tang Wan did not dare to drive her own car anymore, hence she waved down a cab. The moment they sat inside the car, several luxury cars suddenly appeared in the streets of Jin Ling. They appeared to be driving recklessly, and there were three or four MPVs following behind them. It was an intimidating sight. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. The cars drove directly into the small neighborhood and blocked off the exits of that area. Immediately following that, Xu Dayuan, who was patched up in a simple manner, was helped out of the car by another person. He barked out some orders, and a group of people immediately rushed up the building. Tang Wan turned pale when she saw what was happening, and even Chen Hao started to feel afraid as well. If he hade down a momentter, he would have been beaten to death. Damn it, I went through so much trouble to not be a poor loser anymore. If I were beaten to death here without the knowledge of Li Zhenguo and the rest of them, I would feel afraid as well. ¡°Could you drive away quickly to the shanty town near the newly built Hope Elementary School at the outskirts of the city?¡± said Chen Hao in a hurry. The driver floored the elerator and drove away quickly. The cab driver might have been frightened by the intimidating scene before him, hence he wanted to leave as soon as possible. If you looked out through the windows of the car, you could see that this cab had caught the attention of Xu Dayuan precisely because it was driving away at a high speed. He was standing below the apartment building and at that moment, he turned his head to look at the cab. His face looked doubtful. Chapter 153 The Coincidental Meeting in the Mobile Phone Store Chapter 153 The Coincidental Meeting in the Mobile Phone Store ¡°Oh my God! I don¡¯t know who offended that ruthless guy, Xu Dayuan, but I bet that person is doomed!¡± said the driver out loud while driving the car as he hadn''t recovered from his shock yet. Obviously, he knew who Xu Dayuan was, and he had heard of his notoriety before. Chen Hao was the only one in the car who looked dumbfounded. ¡°Who is Xu Dayuan and what is his background? Is he more powerful than Li Feihong from Jin Ling Commercial Street?¡± he asked the driver at this moment. Chen Hao calmed down a little after taking a look behind him and saw that Xu Dayuan wasn¡¯t tailing them. ¡°Ahem! How should I put this? Li Feihong is a powerful man in Jin Ling as he has the backing of the Jin Ling Commercial Group. On the other hand, Xu Dayuan relies on the support of the Xu family, which is one of the richest families in Jin Ling. Xu Dayuan is the cousin of the president of Haishan Real Estate Group, Xu Haishan. Moreover, although Jin Ling Commercial Group is the top group in Jin Ling, it is still considered a foreign business and it only has a ten-year history in Jin Ling since its establishment. However, Haishan Real Estate Group is a different story as it has a forty-year history in Jin Ling, and the Xu family has strong roots here in Jin Ling as well. They are definitely the local tyrants of the business world here.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a saying that goes, ¡®You can¡¯t beat an enemy in their home ground no matter how strong you are.¡¯ However, Haishan Group and Jin Ling Commercial group are very amicable on the surface, hence they will treat each other courteously.¡± The driver was a talkative person. He couldn¡¯t be stopped the moment he opened his mouth. Chen Hao finally remembered something after listening to the driver¡¯s introduction of the Xu family, especially Xu Haishan. He recalled that he had indirectly made contact with the Xu family once. When was that again? Why did Xu Nan and Xu Chao disappear from Jin Ling? Moreover, why did Zhao Yifan cry away in her dormitory thest time and daren¡¯te out? Even if her parents came forward, they still weren¡¯t able to resolve this matter. In the end, he had to call up Li Zhenguo to settle this matter for them. It was because back then, when they were having their meals in the Vi, Xu Wei, who was Xu Haishan¡¯s son and a second generation heir, teased Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao after he had a drink or two. Following that, Xu Chao came forward and ordered his people to beat up Xu Wei. In the end, the Xu family exacted their vicious revenge on them. He did not care about Xu Chao, so he only asked Li Zhenguo toe forward to help resolve the matter for Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao, and the Xu family was courteous enough to agree to it. However, Li Zhenguo did remind him asionally to mind his own safety and to keep his identity a secret among many other things. That was because although the Jin Ling Commercial Group was one of the biggest business groups in Jin Ling, not every business group was afraid of it. After all, in their minds, they only knew that the Jin Ling Commercial Group was founded by his sister, Chen Xiao. They did not know of her terrifying history, hence some of the local tyrants in the business world weren¡¯t afraid of her. Furthermore, some of them even resorted to ying dirty. For example, when Chen Hao and Su Tongxin were kidnappedst time, Li Zhenguo did make a phone call to Xu Haishan and spoke to him bluntly because he suspected that he was behind it. You could see just how unimportant the Xu family was in Li Zhenguo¡¯s eyes. It seemed that Xu Dayuan was Xu Haishan¡¯s cousin. He didn¡¯t think that the Xu family was that powerful. Chen Hao was thinking about this in the car. He wasn¡¯t afraid of trouble because if he needed to, he could still tell his sister about this matter and ask her to use the family¡¯s power to settle it. After all, no matter how powerful the Xu family was, they were still considered nothing in the eyes of the Chen family in Southeast Asia. However, currently, he could only wait for his mobile phone to be repaired before he could discuss this matter with Li Zhenguo. The ce that Chen Hao brought Tang Wan to happened to be the ce where Su Ziyue lived. It was a very remote area, hence Xu Dayuan would not be able to find her here for the time being. ¡°Chen Hao, you came!¡± ¡°Da Hu, Er Hu, where is Ying?¡± As soon as he entered, Da Hu and Er Hu, who were washing the clothes in the yard, immediately surrounded him. ¡°She is cooking with Ziyue inside the house.¡± Not long after that, Su Ziyue led Ying out of the house into the yard. Chen Hao did not exin the situation in detail. He only briefly exined that he would like to put Tang Wan and her daughter up for the night at her ce. Of course, Su Ziyue had no qualms about it and N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. immediately went to clean up the ce for them to stay. When Tang Wan heard from Chen Hao that Su Ziyue had adopted these three children, she was really moved by her actions. Although this was the first time Tang Wan and Su Ziyue had met each other, they actually felt like they had known each other for quite a long time. Perhaps it was because both of them were raising children on their own. Hence, they started chatting away the moment they met. On the other hand, after Chen Hao settled the amodations for Tang Wan and her daughter, he went alone to the nearby mobile phone mall quickly to get a new mobile phone. Otherwise, his ns would be dyed. It was an independent mobile phone mall, and they had a huge collection of mobile phones, including those from major brands. Hence, there was quite a crowd. Chen Hao browsed around. However, he was unsure which mobile phone brand he should buy as he wanted a sturdy phone. In the end, he set his sights on a good quality phone, the price of which was clearly marked at 18,888! It was one of the more expensive phones. ¡°Hi miss, could you please get me thattest phone model? I want to take a look at it, thank you,¡± said Chen Hao politely to one of the promoters. The promoter noticed that Chen Hao had nearly spent half a day browsing around. Judging by his appearance, she figured that he was trying to find a cheap mobile phone. However, she thought that these people were usually egoistic. They would insist to browse around some of the famous brands first to take a look. Then, they would pretend that it wasn¡¯t suitable for them and end up choosing one of the generic brands that cost approximately two or three hundred, and slip away just like that. She sniggered to herself as she thought, I have seen too many people of his kind. Hence, she looked down upon the shabbily dressed Chen Hao as soon as he walked in her direction. When she heard that Chen Hao wanted to take a look at the most expensive mobile phone they had here, she answered impatiently, ¡°I am sorry, sir. You need to pay up first as we do not allow our customers to try out the phone.¡± What she meant was, ¡®If you can pay for it, then it is yours. However, if you can¡¯t afford it, then get lost!¡¯ ¡°Can¡¯t I just take a look at it first?¡± asked Chen Hao. He did not have his wallet with him now so he had to purchase it online using his cards. ¡°I am sorry sir, but you can¡¯t do that because this is our store¡¯s policy,¡± the promoter sneered. ¡° Su Ming, help me out here. I came with my friends today to check out some mobile phones.¡± ¡°Hahaha, wee to our store!¡¯ At this moment, a guy was seen leading a group of guys and girls into the store. ¡°Ding Hao, we have a new model in our store and it is one of our best sellers. Don¡¯t you want to change to a new phone?¡± said Su Ming while smiling. She was the pretty promoter who was speaking to Chen Hao. ¡°Oh? Which one?¡± Ding Hao and the rest of the gang surrounded her. It was right at this moment that one of the girls saw Chen Hao, who was preparing to leave. It startled her in an instant. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. Chen Hao, why are you here?¡± That girl wasn¡¯t a stranger to him, because she was none other than Chen Lin! Moreover, Li Shihan was standing beside her. In general, the group of people consisted of the same people back then at the high school gathering. It seemed that they were hanging out with Ding Hao. On the other hand, Chen Hao had already noticed them earlier and wanted to leave just now. After all, his friendship with the girls from his high school had ended, and there was nothing else to talk about between them. Furthermore, they would ridicule him the moment they saw him, so Chen Hao did not want the situation to progress any further until he had to humiliate them as that would be senseless of him. So, it would be in his best interest to avoid them. However, the more he tried to avoid meeting them, the more he failed in his attempts. ¡°Why do you think he is here? Of course he came here to buy a mobile phone.¡± ¡°Oh my God, Chen Hao, are you actually buying a mobile phone? Did you get rich through the development project as well? Why do you want to buy a mobile phone ? In addition to that, you even came to a branded store such as this to choose one,¡± Chen Lin asked in surprise. Li Shihan, who was standing at the side, only shook her head and smiled bitterly as she looked at Chen Hao. Chapter 154 Can You Afford To Buy This Phone? Chapter 154 Can You Afford To Buy This Phone? ¡°Oh! Young Master Ding, do you know him?¡± Su Ming asked with a wry smile. Ding Hao was considered popr in this area now. The people had received news that Yunmeng Mountain, which was located further west, was going to be developed soon. The Yunmeng vige where Ding Hao lived would have to be relocated. This area would be an important business area in the future. As Ding Hao was going to inherit the valuable properties after the development of the vige, he started to be active around this area. He was a regr customer of the shop, so the promoter knew him. ¡°Haha, not really. He¡¯s my friend¡¯s high school ssmate.¡± Ding Hao shook his head. He then ignored Chen Hao and turned to smile at Su Ming. ¡°Su Ming, which phone model would you rmend? I want to have a look. I¡¯m buying new phones for two of my friends!¡± Ding Hao said. The two friends he mentioned were obviously Chen Lin and Li Shihan. Two of them were equally pretty, and Ding Hao liked both of them. However, he had realized that both of the girls seemed to have a crush on him and he was in a dilemma. He was really anxious because he could only pick one, and the other one would undoubtedly end up getting hurt. He pitied her, regardless who it was. In the end, he thought it was better to please both of them instead. The two girls usuallypeted with each other in every way. It satisfied Ding Hao¡¯s ego very much to see this happen. In short, he felt great to be in such a position. As expected, Chen Lin and Li Shihan were happy when they heard that he was going to buy them a phone each, but their faces darkened right after that. They were probably having the same thoughts in their minds¡ªHow do I gain all of Ding Hao¡¯s love? As for the other girls who were with them, they could only feel envious and jealous. ¡°Here, this is thetest model. Try it out!¡± Su Ming wore a smile on her face and quickly passed the phone Chen Hao wanted to see to Ding Hao. It stoked Chen Hao¡¯s anger. So the policies in your shop are only applicable to me! Chen Hao wanted to burst into fury but didn¡¯t because Li Shihan and Chen Lin were there. He didn¡¯t want to embarrass himself. Moreover, he really didn¡¯t want to stay here with them any longer. Chen Hao left and came to the famous branded phone store next door. ¡°Sir, we have justunched thetest model in our store. It¡¯s an internationally well-known brand. The first fifty customers can enjoy the exclusive offer, where you only need to pay 28,888 for the phone. The original price is 32,000. Sir, do you want to have a look?¡± Just as he entered the store, a promoter who looked about eighteen or neen came up to him with a bright smile. She looked nervous and she seemed to be new here. She didn¡¯t really observe the appearance of customers and only tried to promote the products. But the price of the phone really shocked Chen Hao. It was just too much for a phone to cost a few ten thousands. After recognizing the brand and having a quick look at the features of the phone, Chen Hao understood why it was so pricey. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. It was said that this phone model was used by many presidents and military leaders from other countries. It had great function and superior quality. Moreover, the phone had manyyers of security which protected the user¡¯s confidentiality. It was even more powerful than the phone which cost 18,888. ¡°Sir, this phone is the most expensive model we have in our store. We have some models which are more affordable too. You may have a look at this model, which cost only 6,888!¡± The promoter thought the price startled Chen Hao as he was frozen. Right, how can an ordinary person afford to buy a phone that costs up to 30,000? she thought. She quickly rmended the other models to Chen Hao. As thergest branded phone store in the whole mall, it was normal for the cheapest model to cost at least 6,000. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll have a look at the most expensive one. Oh yeah, please lend me a SIM card eject pin,¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. ¡°No problem, sir!¡± The promoter handed the phone and a SIM card eject pin to him carefully. Since this was a shopping mall that specialized in selling mobile phones, there were security guards patrolling and guarding every entrance. There were even special sensors in the stores. The shopkeepers weren¡¯t afraid of anyone stealing or changing the phones secretly and so on. Chen Hao took the things from her and immediately inserted his SIM card into the new phone. ¡°Damn, what did you just say, Su Ming? This phone costs 18,888? It¡¯s too much! It¡¯s daylight robbery!¡± Meanwhile, Ding Hao¡¯s surprising exmation could be heard from the store next door. Li Shihan and Chen Lin who were standing by his side were startled by the price as well. Even though the price scared them, they knew how great the phone was after looking at its model and its functions. The camera had a very high megapixel, which was more important than anything else for girls who prioritized their beauty, like them. So, both of them looked at Ding Hao with anticipation, hoping that he would buy the phones for them. But Ding Hao was breaking out in cold sweat and said, ¡°No way. It¡¯s too expensive. One phone costs nearly 20,000, so two of them would cost nearly 40,000! It¡¯s too much!¡± He wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. His house was indeed being relocated due to the development of Yunmeng Mountain, but he would only receive the reimbursement for the relocation after two or three months. He was actually spending with his credit card now and he was only going to pay for it when he received the reimbursementter. He could never afford to buy these two phones now. ¡°Young Master Ding, I didn¡¯t think that there was something that you couldn¡¯t afford. Since both of the pretty girls like it so much, why don¡¯t you just buy one for each of them?¡± Su Ming was very good at doing sales. She immediately mentioned the name of Chen Lin and Li Shihan to persuade him to buy the phones. ¡°Haha, I can¡¯t buy them now. I¡¯lle back next time. Let¡¯s go to the other stores to have a look!¡± With that, he brought Li Shihan and Chen Lin, who were slightly reluctant to leave, to the other stores. Su Ming was dismayed. She had reeled Ding Hao in and she wasn¡¯t about to let this potential customer out of her sight. She immediately followed him. ¡°Young Master Ding, how about this store? This brand is very popr these days, and even the cheapest model looks very ssy!¡± Chen Lin walked up to him and said. ¡°Sure, let¡¯s have a look. Damn, the price is from 6,888 onward?¡± As Ding Hao came closer, he nced at the price and was startled by it. He didn¡¯t even dare to think about thetest model in promotion, which costs 28,888! Immediately, he showed an awkward expression and said, ¡°How about we go to another store¡­¡± Disappointment was written all over Li Shihan¡¯s and Chen Lin¡¯s faces. Although the phone that costs 6,000 is considered expensive, as the heir who will be inheriting the reimbursement soon, you are just a miser. It¡¯s not like we are asking for the phone that costs 28,888. Besides, even if you bought the one that costs 28,888, we wouldn¡¯t know how to use it. The price is exorbitant and asking you to buy that overpriced phone is not realistic at all. Chen Lin wanted to persuade Ding Hao to buy the phone. Just then, she turned her head around and happened to see Chen Hao, who was lowering his head while inserting his SIM card. ¡°Damn! Chen Hao, it¡¯s you again! Why do we have to meet you wherever we go? Don¡¯t you look at the brand before buying a phone? Do you think you can afford the phone of this brand?¡± Chen Lin was in a bad mood. Initially, she wouldn¡¯t mind even if she saw Chen Hao. But now, she was frustrated because Ding Hao couldn¡¯t afford to buy the phones in this store and they were about to leave. She got even angrier when she saw Chen Hao acting cool and looking at the phones in the store. She taunted him promptly. ¡°I¡¯m here to buy a phone. Is there a problem?¡± Listening to her mockery, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but shoot back at her. He had inserted his SIM card and had quickly downloaded the app for e-wallet. He was about to make the payment for the phone. ¡°Oh dear, why are you still acting? Look at yourself, do you think you can afford this phone?¡± Chen Lin got angrier. ¡°Chen Lin, look! Chen Hao is holding the phone that costs 28,888. Damn, does he think he can buy it? Hahaha¡­¡± Just then, Ding Hao felt much relief. The embarrassment of him not being able to afford the phone just now was gone with Chen Hao here as a contrast. Li Shihan knitted her eyebrow and stared at Chen Hao¡­ Chapter 155 They Were At the Doorsteps Chapter 155 They Were At the Doorsteps ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Chen Hao was this good at acting! Haha, if we hadn¡¯t met him today, maybe he would have stopped by every mobile phone store and pretend to buy a phone!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, and he won¡¯t even buy it in the end. Sigh, I¡¯ve seen many posers like him!¡± Two of his highschool ssmates said in disdain. ¡°Chen Hao, I hope you will be more pragmatic in the future. Your family conditions are worse than others and you will have a harder time at the starting point in your career. Even someone like Young Master Ding does not dare to buy it. Why are you still pretending?¡± said Li Shihan. To be honest, at first, her whole attention was on Ding Hao. She didn¡¯t even notice Chen Hao. Now that Chen Hao had been ridiculed by Ding Hao, Li Shihan couldn¡¯t help but follow suit and scolded Chen Hao. She even shook her head in disdain after scolding him. Su Ming suddenly came to stop Ding Hao and started to promote the phone. ¡°Young Master Ding, why are you here? I spoke to my leader just now and we¡¯ve decided to give you a 2,000 discount for that phone if you buy two. However, Young Master Ding, you have to promise me that you will refer more customers to me in the future. If not, I will be badly scolded by my leader!¡± She was really good at selling. Those who didn¡¯t know the situation would have thought that she was at loss. Furthermore, even Chen Lin and Li Shihan were tempted. Although Ding Hao was troubled, there was a way for him to shift her attention away. He quickly shifted the topic to Chen Hao. ¡°Ahem, wait a moment, Su Ming. I am not a tyrant. The real tyrant is here. Hahaha, he wants to buy this mobile phone that costs 28,888. It¡¯s better for you to promote your product to him!¡± ¡°Huh? Him? If he can afford it, I''ll p myself in public, hahaha!¡± When Su Ming saw that it was Chen Hao, she let out augh. She then said, ¡°Hey, Young Master Ding, don¡¯t change the subject! Come quickly to our store and have a look!¡± At this moment, the promoter in the shop said softly, ¡°Miss, it¡¯s stipted in this mall that we can¡¯t undercut the other stores!¡± She was rather nervous. ¡°Haha, are you new here? Everyone here in this mall knows my name, Su Ming. If you don''t know, go and ask around. If you don¡¯t shut up, I¡¯ll find someone to teach you a lesson after work!¡± The new promoter was upset and remained silent. Chen Hao ignored their taunts and said, ¡°Miss, can you please help me pack one more of this phone? I¡¯m going to buy two!¡± Why did he do so? It was because Chen Hao just remembered that Su Ziyue¡¯s phone was quite old. Since he had already bought one, he might as well buy another one and give it to Su Ziyue. ¡°Damn! Did you hear that? Hahahaha, is he buying two?¡± Everyone wasughing when they heard that. Even Su Ming was watching Chen Hao with interest. Where was this idiot from? Was he a joker? But the promoter took another phone for Chen Hao in all seriousness. Chen Hao took his mobile phone and scanned the payment code. Ding! ¡°Payment sessful. You have received the payment of 57,776!¡± ¡°Fu*k?¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What?¡± They were dumbfounded when they heard the clear message prompt from the system. Especially Ding Hao, who wasughing while holding his stomach. When he heard that the payment was sessful, his waist was still bent. However, he quickly stoppedughing and looked at Chen Hao with a shocked expression. Chen Lin and Li Shihan''s mouths were slightly ajar, and they were short of breath. They had looked down on Chen Hao all this while. But, unexpectedly, Chen Hao bought two of the most expensive phones without batting an eyelid. Where did Chen Hao¡¯s moneye from? Su Ming was shocked too. She felt her cheeks burning from embarrassment. ¡°Chen Hao, how did you get the money?¡± Chen Lin grabbed Chen Hao¡¯s arm when she saw that Chen Hao wanted to leave after he took the mobile phones. Sh*t! As a teacher, her sry was only five or six thousand a month. Chen Hao had just spent one year¡¯s worth of her sry in a second to buy mobile phones. This was just unbelievable! Was it possible that Chen Hao had won the lottery? How much had he won then? Obviously, both Chen Lin and Li Shihan were very concerned about this issue and they were very anxious to know the exact answer. It didn¡¯t matter if he stole the money or robbed someone. He just needed to tell everyone that he didn''t get this money from winning the lottery¡¯s grand prize. Otherwise, they would feel extremely uneasy! ¡°I have something to do, so please excuse me.¡± Chen Hao was toozy to answer this question. Why should he tell them? He turned around coldly and left them stupefied. After he came out, Chen Hao immediately used his new mobile phone to call Li Zhenguo. He told him about his situation. It would be better for Li Zhenguo to pick him up and talk about it in person so that they could solve it as soon as possible. Li Zhenguo was shocked when he heard the news. He didn¡¯t dare to waste a single second. Chen Hao hung up the phone and sent him the location. Then, he went to Su Ziyue''s house. Chen Hao was stunned when he passed by the gate of Hope Elementary School. There was arge group of people surrounding the entrance. There was even a fleet of luxury cars blocking the road. Next to the luxury cars was a smashed cab. There was also the sound of someone howling from the middle of the crowd. Obviously, someone was being beaten. Chen Hao thought that the luxury car looked familiar and his blood ran cold. Didn¡¯t this belong to Xu Dayuan? He had found them! As for that smashed cab, Chen Hao recognized it as well because it was the one that he took here! The crowd was watching. Chen Hao¡¯s face was tense. When he looked through the crowd, he could see that the cab driver was being beaten although some people were blocking his view. His face was full of blood and he wasying down on the ground. ¡°F*ck. Tell me, where is that bitch and that stinky kid that you picked up?" There was a cold roar from Xu Dayuan. The drivery on the ground and pleaded, ¡°Mr. Xu, please let me go. I really don''t know. If I knew, I would have told you!¡± ¡°They got off here, and I don''t know where they went after that!¡± ¡°F*ck, you still don¡¯t want to tell the truth! Hit him!¡± Xu Dayuan¡¯s followers took their sticks and whacked the driver. The beatingsted a few more minutes, and the crowd even got goosebumps because of the violence. The driver¡¯s answer remained the same up till the moment he passed out from the beating. Chen Hao was watching from the side. His whole body was trembling with rage. At the same time, he was touched by the driver. Why was he touched? It was because the driver had sent Chen Hao and Su Ziyue to the gate of the shanty town. How could he not know where he had gone? Obviously, this driver didn¡¯t want to tell them anything. Xu Dayuan cursed, ¡°Sh*t, find me this driver¡¯s family right away. He must know where they went. F*ck, ying dumb with me huh? If he still doesn¡¯t tell me, just take care of his whole family then!¡± ¡°Listen! Has anyone met a beautiful woman with a child, and a young guy in his twenties? Tell me and the Xu family will grant you a big reward. Otherwise, you¡¯ll end up being like him!¡± Xu Dayuan pointed at the driver and said, ¡°Hmph, break his hands and legs now!¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Chapter 156 The Entire Street Was Sealed Off Chapter 156 The Entire Street Was Sealed Off At this moment, a loud scream could be heard. The bodyguards who were preparing to do the deed stopped in their tracks. Everybody in the crowd looked toward the source of the sound. It was Chen Hao. The cab driver had not revealed Chen Hao¡¯s location even when they hit him viciously. By this action alone, Chen Hao owed him a huge favor. However, now that the cab driver was unconscious, not only would his family be dragged into this, his limbs would be severed as well. He wouldn¡¯t be able to live with himself if he did not show himself. Chen Hao walked toward the crowd at once. ¡°The person you are looking for is me. Why did you have to treat the cab driver this way?¡± Chen Hao looked at Xu Dayuan coldly. ¡°Hahaha, you stupid brat! I have finally found you! It seems that my guesses were correct.¡± Xu Dayuan smiled evilly when he saw Chen Hao. Previously, Xu Dayuan had brought his men to Tang Wan¡¯s apartment building and ordered them to go upstairs to capture Chen Hao and Tang Wan as he wanted to teach them a lesson. At that time, there was a cab who had left in a hurry and that caught the attention of Xu Dayuan, so he gave it another look. However, he did not think too much about it. He only thought to himself, Tang Wan has to drive if she ns to escape with this brat, but her car is still parked downstairs. His underlings had gone upstairs at once and when they came down, they reported that there was no one in the house. Only then did Xu Dayuan connect the dots. It had taken him only around five to six minutes to gather underlings. This was because his friend was running a business right on this side of the street, so he had borrowed some underlings from his friend. Where could Tang Wan have escaped to with her child in such a short amount of time? He thought about it for a moment¡­ Damn it! It must be that cab! He immediately dug out the CCTV footage from a nearby shop and found out the license te of the cab and other information that he needed. Then, he had ordered his underlings to track down the cab and forced the driver to bring them to where Chen Hao had gotten off. The driver pretended he didn¡¯t know anything at first and refused to cooperate with them. In the end, he buckled under the pressure and was forced to bring them here. However, he stubbornly refused to tell them the exact location that Chen Hao went to. That was because the driver was a simple-minded guy. He thought that it would be better if he was not involved in this kind of matters. Of course, that didn¡¯t mean that he would betray other people to save his own skin because he wouldn¡¯t be able to live with his own conscience if he did that. At most, he would just get a huge beating from Mr. Xu. Hence, he gritted his teeth and endured it and hoped that Mr. Xu would believe him. s, the cab driver had underestimated Xu Dayuan, who was used to dealing with these situations. How could he believe such a tant lie? Therefore, the cab driver ended up like this. However, it didn¡¯t matter to Xu Dayuan anymore as the brat that he was looking for finally showed up by himself. ¡°Tell me you stupid brat, where did Tang Wan go to? It¡¯s ok if you don¡¯t want to tell me because I have something in store for youter anyway,¡± said Xu Dayuan coldly. ¡°Xu Dayuan, I know you. You have the support of the Xu family, however the least you can do is treat the Jin Ling Commercial Group with some respect as Li Zhenguo will be here in less than ten minutes.¡± To be honest, Chen Hao was a little anxious right now. After all, it would not be worth it if he was beaten to death by a scumbag like Xu Dayuan. If he told him that he was Young Master Chen, Xu Dayuan definitely would not believe him, so he could only use Li Zhenguo¡¯s name. Xu Dayuan was shocked when he heard that. Li Zhenguo¡¯s fame in Jin Ling wasparable to his cousin, Xu Haishan. Li Zhenguo was a business tycoon while Xu Dayuan¡¯s own cousin relied on the power that had been amassed by the Xu family through generations. Even so, he was barely able to be on par with Li Zhenguo. Furthermore, another powerful person had arrived in Jin Ling Commercial Group, and that person¡¯s ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. name was Zhao Zixing. Rumor had it that Zhao Zixing was a powerful person in Hong Kong. It would be an utter lie to say that Xu Dayuan wasn¡¯t apprehensive when he heard the names of the big shots in the industry since he had always relied on his cousin¡¯s power to get ahead in society. ¡°Boss, you don¡¯t have to listen to him. Why would General Manager Lie to a ce like this?¡± One of his underlings immediately reminded him. ¡°Nonsense, of course I know this,¡± scolded Xu Dayuan. ¡°You stupid brat, did you think you can use General Manager Li¡¯s name to scare me? I am used to this kind of trickery. Go to hell! All of you, get him!¡± Xu Dayuan waved his hands fiercely. A group of bodyguards rushed toward Chen Hao. Everybody in the crowd was terrified when they saw this. ¡°Oh my God, this kid is going to get it worse than the cab driver!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I think he¡¯s scared out of his wits. I can¡¯t believe that he actually used Li Zhenguo¡¯s name. Why didn¡¯t he just say that he was Young Master Chen from Jin Ling?¡± ¡°Young people nowadays really like to cause trouble. Don¡¯t they know who¡¯s boss? There are certain people that you absolutely must not provoke!¡± The onlookers shook their heads and sighed. However, none of them came forward to uphold justice. Moreover, not one person was recording a video even in the face of such a ruthless person like Xu Dayuan. At this moment, Chen Hao was already surrounded by several bodyguards. ¡°Hahaha, hold him down! I am going to crack his head open first!¡± Xu Dayuan took a stick and lifted it up to smash Chen Hao¡¯s head. Vroom! Suddenly, more than thirty luxury cars appeared. The cars braked suddenly and fishtailed, causing everyone to be surrounded. Following that, troops of bodyguards dressed in ck got out of the cars. It was an imposing situation. Two of the more agile bodyguards rushed over in a sh and pinned Xu Dayuan down on the ground easily. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± m! m! m! Dozens of bodyguards quickly restrained Xu Dayuan¡¯s men. Those who tried to fight back were quickly struck to the ground by the bodyguards. They curled up in pain, their bodies quivering. The tables had turned. ¡°Don¡¯t mess with me! Do you guys know who I am? I am Xu Dayuan, the cousin of the President of Haishan Real Estate Group, Xu Haishan. Don¡¯t act recklessly!¡¯ Judging by the bodyguards¡¯ strength, Xu Dayuan knew that they weren¡¯t ordinary people. Hence, he quickly begged for his life. ¡°Hmph! Thank god I arrived in the nick of time! If I didn¡¯t, not only will you have died, I will be killed along with you as well.¡± At this moment, Li Zhenguo ran over and kicked Xu Dayuan in the face viciously, causing his blood to stter everywhere. When Li Zhenguo heard that Young Master Chen was in trouble, he immediately put his work aside and brought along a few men here to investigate the situation himself. Naturally, he had ordered somebody toe here to investigate the situation first. From there, he knew that somebody was pursuing Young Master Chen and trying to attack him. Hence, Li Zhenguo made haste immediately. He almost didn¡¯t make it in time! If the stick was brought down on Chen Hao¡¯s head, putting aside the fact that Chen Hao would suffer injuries, Xu Dayuan, the entire Xu family and even Li Zhenguo himself would not survive the ordeal. This was because Li Zhenguo knew just how powerful the Chen Family¡¯s power was in China. Not many people did. Thus, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. ¡°Young Master Chen, are you alright?¡± After beating up Xu Dayuan, Li Zhenguo quickly came over and helped Chen Hao to his feet. ¡°What? General Manager Li, did you just call him Young Master Chen? The Young Master Chen of Jin Ling?¡± Xu Dayuan waspletely bbergasted, and he even looked dumbfounded. It was a surprise that Li Zhenguo actually came here. What shocked him the most was the fact that the guy named Chen Hao was actually Young Master Chen! ¡°Oh my God! I failed to recognize such an important person like you! All of us here don¡¯t¡­¡± Wham! Before he even finished his sentence, Li Zhenguo had picked up the stick on the floor and brought it down on Xu Dayuan¡¯s head. The impact was so great that it nearly caused Xu Dayuan to faint. ¡°General Manager Li, don¡¯t¡­ I am still Xu Haishan¡¯s cousin. Please spare me on his ount.¡± ¡°Spare you? Do you think I am going to let you off this easily?¡¯ At this moment, another fleet of luxury cars had appeared. This time, more people had arrived and they had barricaded the entire road. Zhao Zixing had arrived here with his men. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. Chen Lin, Shihan, can you guys run any slower? Something big has happened near Hope Elementary School. Wow, there are nearly sixty to seventy luxury cars there and the entire street is sealed off!¡± Currently, many people were seen running toward Hope Elementary School on the streets. They wanted to join in the lively atmosphere after hearing the news as they had never seen such a spectacr scene before. There were currently sixty to seventy Rolls-Royce Phantoms sealing off the streets. It was indeed a sight to behold! Naturally, this made Ding Hao and the rest of them curious. Hence, they rushed over to the scene. ¡°What happened here?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I heard that somebody took a beating, then Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing from Jin Ling arrived. Furthermore, I heard that quite a few industry leaders from the Chamber of Commerce and even some government officials from Jin Ling came as well. Just the bodyguards alone amount up to approximately one hundred people!¡± Somebody shouted excitedly when they saw this. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned!¡± Li Shihan, Chen Lin and the others got more and more excited as they rushed over to the scene¡­ Chapter 157 Han Siyu Is Not the Same as Before Chapter 157 Han Siyu Is Not the Same as Before More and more people surrounded the scene. On the other hand, Xu Dayuan was getting more perplexed. He had only brought along his men to stop Young Master Chen. In the end, nearly half of Jin Ling, including the military, government officials and the people from the business world came here. Even if his cousin Xu Haishan came, he would never be weed with a sight as grand as this! On the other hand, Chen Hao felt that he should not stay here any longer as he was surrounded by many people. If he continued to stay here, his identity would definitely be exposed. In addition to that, nobody was taking care of the unconscious driver. So, after greeting the big shots, he gave some orders to Li Feihong who had just arrived. Then, they carried the cab driver into a car, bypassed the crowd and sped to the hospital. As for the rest of the matters, he believed that Li Zhenguo would handle it well. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. There really is a crowd here!¡± At this moment, Li Shihan and the rest of them who were led by Ding Hao managed to squeeze past the crowd after expending a lot of effort. When they saw the spectacr scene before them, they were shocked to their cores. Chen Lin and Li Shihan¡¯s mouths were wide open. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Li Zhenguo?¡± said Ding Hao proudly when he saw Li Zhenguo standing in the middle of the scene, looking formidable. ¡°Huh? You even know a big shot like Li Zhenguo?¡± Chen Lin and Li Shihan were surprised by Ding Hao¡¯s connections. ¡°Yes, I do. Remember when we went up to Yunmeng Mountain for our pic? Actually, Young Master Chen from Jin Ling had brought along Mr. Li to inspect the surroundings of the vige that afternoon. Then, they even signed a series of contracts.¡± ¡°Hehe, my father is the vige¡¯s ountant and he was appointed as the ountant of the Yunmeng Mountain Vige development project. Naturally, he has to get acquainted with Mr. Li. Didn¡¯t I tell you me up there and he even asked me to give Mr. Li a toast!¡± This was the first development project that Chen Hao was in charge of. Naturally, Li Zhenguo took it seriously, so he definitely needed to personally receive all relevant personnel. ¡°Hmph, we don¡¯t believe that you went to Hot Spring Vi, not even if you beat us to death,¡± said the other two girls with a mixture of envy and jealousy. ¡°Haha, do you think I am exaggerating?¡± Ding Hao raised his eyebrows. ¡°Enough of this,d. Don¡¯t be so arrogant.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. This young man really likes to pretend to be a smart aleck. As long as there is a grand spectacle, people like him will pretend that he understands the situation better than anyone else and tell everybody that he is acquainted with certain people and much more. Why do you need to pretend to be a person that you are not?¡¯ ¡°That¡¯s right, if you have the guts, why don¡¯t you go up and greet them? Drop your pretentious act!¡± Before Chen Lin and the rest of them were able to question him, the onlookers beside them had started to ridicule him with contempt. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Watch and learn then!¡± Ding Hao did not bother to exin himself any further. With his hands in his pockets, he walked toward Li Zhenguo under the surprised gaze of the onlookers. ¡°Mr. Li, nice to meet you. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here,¡± said Ding Hao reservedly. Li Zhenguo was stunned. Then, he looked Ding Hao up and down and asked, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°My father is Ding Xiangqian, nicknamed Ding Kun [1]. He is the ountant of Yunmeng Vige. We met each otherst week,¡± said Ding Hao anxiously. He was afraid that Li Zhenguo had forgotten him. ¡°Yes, I remember now. You are Ding Hao. There is nothing here for you to inquire about. It would be best if you left as soon as possible and went back home.¡± When Li Zhenguo heard the name ¡®Yunmeng Vige¡¯, he took it seriously and even proceeded to shake Ding Hao¡¯s hands. Then, he asked Ding Hao to leave quickly. ¡°Oh my God! Shihan and the rest of you, take a look quickly! Li Zhenguo really knows Ding Hao.¡± At this moment, Chen Lin was very excited. If possible, she would have screamed at the top of her lungs. ¡°Yes indeed.¡± Li Shihan looked shocked, but at the same time, she looked at Ding Hao with a whole new level of respect. Ding Hao was looking extremely handsome at this moment. This made Li Shihan feel that all the excellent men she had met in the past were nothingpared to him. At this moment, Ding Hao looked satisfied as he returned under the respectful gaze of the crowd. ¡°Ok, Mr. Li told me to ask everyone to leave as soon as possible. He said that something big might be happening soon. I think we better do as he says,¡± said Ding Hao with a smile. ¡°Ok, Ding Hao. We will listen to you!¡± Everybody quickly nodded and left. They have all forgotten about the embarrassing incident whereby they were made to look like a fool by Chen Hao. Chen Hao was nothingpared to Ding Hao. Hah! On the other side, Chen Hao had already sent the just cab driver to the hospital. As for his orders to Li Feihong¡ªhe had ordered him to look after the family of the cab driver and to send them some money to express his gratitude. Chen Hao decided to wait until Li Zhenguo hadpletely settled the matter before going back to Su Ziyue¡¯s ce. Just when Chen Hao was thinking about where to go, he saw that somebody had tagged everyone in the ss¡¯s chat group. It turned out to be their tutor, Meng Cairu. ¡°At 3pm sharp, the whole ss must gather at Block B of the University Student Entrepreneurship Base in the University City. Everybody must be there!¡± Chen Hao was stunned as he thought to himself, Why do we need to gather there? Just when he was feeling puzzled, he received a call from Yang Hui. ¡°Chen Hao, where are you? Did you see the message in the group?¡± ¡°Yes, I saw it. By the way, what is happening?¡± asked Chen Hao. ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s all because of Han Siyu. Even though SameCity Live Streaming app has been upgraded to Extraordinary Live Streaming app, Han Siyu still maintains her position as the leading anchor through the support of the Extraordinary tform. She has already set up her own studio and is going to hold an opening ceremony tomorrow. So, she wants us to gather this afternoon to see if there is anything we can do to help out.¡± ¡°Sigh! We still don¡¯t know what kind of jobs we want to do after graduation. Look at Han Siyu. She already has her ownpany!¡± said Yang Hui with a sigh. Chen Hao did not say anything and merely smiled. One could say that he had single-handedly made Han Siyu famous. For now, she was considered the most sessful student amongst her peers. Rumor had it that her monthly ie was approximately a hundred thousand. She was indeed superb. As for Yang Hui and the rest of his roommates, Chen Hao definitely would not forget them. Furthermore, he still had many opportunities in the future to return the favor. Now that he was embroiled in a heap of trouble, Chen Hao really did not want to join them. However, since everybody in his ss would be there, it wouldn¡¯t be nice if he didn¡¯t go. ¡°Ok, let¡¯s meet up at the entrepreneurship base then.¡± With that, he threw the car keys to the bodyguards and grabbed a cab back to his college. When he arrived at the designated location, he was alreadyte by half an hour. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯rete! But you are not thatte either, haha!¡± Yang Hui patted Chen Hao¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Something came up, so I waste. By the way, why are you guys waiting outside? I thought we were supposed to start at 3pm. I¡¯ll be damned! Why isn¡¯t the door open yet? Where is Han Siyu?¡± asked Chen Hao as he looked toward the entrance of the base where an independent workshop stood. Its doors were still locked. ¡°Sigh! She is a famous anchor now and an inte celebrity. So if students like us are told to wait, then we have to wait. Han Siyu isn¡¯t here yet,¡± said Yang Hui jealously. They were all from the same ss and their starting points were the same. s, Han Siyu had be an overnight inte celebrity and was earning huge paychecks. It was no wonder everybody was envious. ¡°Han Siyu is here!¡± Suddenly, one of the students shouted. Following that, Han Siyu stepped out from a Ferrari. Immediately after that, a lot of guys who were just idling about suddenly surrounded Han Siyu as they wanted to have their pictures taken with her. Apart from that, they wanted to greet her as well. s, Han Siyu ignored them. She only put on her sunsses and under the protection of her assistants, she walked toward the entrepreneurship base. When Chen Hao saw that Han Siyu had be a different personpared to before, his gaze shifted slightly¡­ [1] Ding Kun is a character in the drama ¡®Conquer¡¯ who is notoriously known as the most dangerous guy in the city. Chapter 158 Han Siyu’s Doubts Chapter 158 Han Siyu¡¯s Doubts Han Siyu¡¯s style today was differentpared to the past. In the past, she would pick the style of an elegant youngdy, in which a hint of charm could be seen underneath her warm and gentle disposition. However, she was more inclined toward a mature style currently, even to the point of dressing up as a young married woman. To be honest, Han Siyu was already a pretty youngdy, but she was looking exceptionally attractive with her current style. Chen Hao for one, was stunned by her appearance. On the other hand, Han Siyu did not expect her career to be that smooth-sailing. Sometimes, it was really a matter of opportunity. If it wasn¡¯t for Ordinary Guy, Han Siyu would still be working as a small, unknown anchor. However, within the span of a few months, she had undergone a huge transformation. It was so cool to be admired by so many people. In addition to that, once a person reached a certain level, their personality would undergo a change. The current Han Siyu was a colder personpared to before. In the past, Han Siyu would wee her fans with a smiling face whenever they greeted her. Currently, she did not bother to do that anymore. She opened the door and let the students in. Then, she crossed her arms and said, ¡°Is everybody here yet? If everyone is here, then Blondie will assign a job to everyone. It is imperative that all of you help me clean this studio today so that the opening ceremony tomorrow won¡¯t be dyed. Other than that, the expenses for tonight¡¯s Imperial KTV is on me. Just order whatever you guys want to eat or drink.¡± ¡°Hooray!¡± All the students shouted excitedly. Although Han Siyu was proud of her achievements, it made some people jealous. However, she had the ability to do that because she was able to make Ordinary Guy buy the entire live streaming tform just for her. Who else could be as lucky as her? Hence, although they were jealous, it did not bubble over to the point of hatred. Moreover, everybody loved to hang out, especially in a ce like Jin Ling Commercial Street. The moment everybody heard that they could order whatever they wanted in Imperial KTV, they were all thrilled. Blondie loved to use his position to bully others, hence he was the most delighted of them all. He loved to take advantage of a situation. Currently, he had managed to curry favor with Han Siyu, and that made him the second-inmand in ss. So, Blondie carried out Han Siyu¡¯s orders meticulously, just like what he would do for his own family. He distributed the jobs in an orderly manner. Some of the students did not want to help her out. However, that would mean that they were indirectly disrespecting her. It wasn¡¯t worth it to offend her like that, so they cooperated. ¡°What the f*ck! How could I forget about the toilets? I need to find a person to clean the toilets as well.¡± After assigning all the jobs, Blondie scratched his head and frowned. ¡°Huh? Blondie, we do not want to clean the toilets. We are happy with our jobs of scrubbing the floors.¡± Some of the guys in ss were afraid that they would be chosen to clean the toilets, hence they quickly gave Blondie a cigarette. Blondieughed heartily and took it from them. He did not want to offend anybody in ss, but there was one guy that he didn¡¯t mind offending. ¡°Chen Hao, I choose you then. Don¡¯t clean the windows anymore. The toilets are all yours. You can have your own little world there all to yourself. I will inspect the toilets after you are done. Haha!¡± said Blondie as he pointed at Chen Hao who was squeezing the rag cloth. Pfft! All the studentsughed out loud. ¡°Yes! It should be Chen Hao! He is the best cleaner amongst us. We should give him the job of cleaning the toilets as there isn¡¯t a more suitable candidate than him.¡± ¡°Yes, Chen Hao is the best man for the job!¡± All the students chimed in unison. Chen Hao had not wanted to clean the windows for Han Siyu in the first ce. F*ck, she was the one who wanted to hold the opening ceremony, so why did he have to do her dirty work? Where was the logic behind this? However, since Yang Hui and his roommates did not say anything, and since he wasn¡¯t a troublemaker, he decided to clean the toilets. However, it was obvious that Blondie was bullying him intentionally. Blondie did not want to offend the other students, but he wasn¡¯t afraid to offend Chen Hao. Didn¡¯t that mean that he looked down upon him? Hence, on second thought, Chen Hao really wanted to refuse the job. ¡°Why are you still standing there? You should go and clean the toilets since Blondie has already ordered you to do so. If not, you won¡¯t have anything to eat tonight! Hahaha!¡± At this moment, a female student who had been following Han Siyu around started ridiculing Chen Hao along with Blondie. ¡°What the f*ck are you trying to say? How dare you ask Chen Hao to clean the toilets?¡± said Li Rui agitatedly as he threw down the rag cloth in his hands. After Yang Hui and Chen Hao helped him outst time, Li Rui considered them to be more precious than his life. Besides, although Li Rui and Yang Hui did not know Chen Hao¡¯s true powers, they knew that Chen Hao was definitely a powerful person. He could do anything he wanted. Naturally, he was unwilling to ept the ridicules of the crowd toward Chen Hao. ¡°Li Rui, Yang Hui, what¡¯s wrong with you guys? Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of Siyu¡¯s studio. I don¡¯t care if you are not helping out, but don¡¯t you dare cause trouble!¡± That female student crossed her arms and sneered. ¡°How dare you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s ok, Li Rui and Yang Hui. Calm down, I will go now.¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly. Naturally, it wasn¡¯t worth it if Li Rui and Yang Hui offended them because of him. It also wasn¡¯t worth it to reveal his identity just to make them look like a fool. It was mainly because he thought that this method was just too old-fashioned. Anyway, what did he stand to gain from it? Haha! So, Chen Hao would rather turn the big problems into smaller ones, and the smaller problems into nothing. So, he went to clean the toilets immediately. On the other hand, Han Siyu merely looked on indifferently at the conflict that nearly happened. When Chen Hao walked past her, she didn¡¯t even bother to lift her eyes to look at him. So, just like that, Chen Hao started to clean the toilets. They could continue with their ruckus outside as Chen Hao felt that it was more peaceful cleaning the toilets all by himself At this moment, Li Zhenguo gave him a call. He told Chen Hao that the matter with Xu Dayuan was resolved and that Xu Dayuan had all his four limbs broken. It was estimated that he would need to spend several months lying on the hospital bed. Moreover, Xu Dayuan did not dare tell Xu Haishan about this matter. Why was that so? It was because Li Zhenguo had evidence of Xu Dayuan falsifying his cousin¡¯spany¡¯s ounts to Anyway, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stir up any more trouble for the time being. Chen Hao heaved a sigh of relief and told Tang Wan the good news. Naturally, he did not tell her that it was all his doing. He only told her that Haishan Real Estate Group had gotten into a fight with the Jin Ling Commercial Group and that Xu Dayuan was beaten up quite badly. He told her to put her mind at ease and not to worry about it anymore. The moment he hung up the phone, the toilet doors were pushed open suddenly. Then, he saw Han Siyu walking in with a dark look on her face. She was currently on the phone with somebody. ¡°Are you out of your mind? Are you done with your antics yet? I told you that I will never meet you. And why should I? Just who do you think you are?¡± ¡°Haha, do you think you are my patron? All you did was give me eighty or ny thousand. Fine then, if it doesn¡¯t work out, just give me your ount number and I will return all the money to you. In fact, I will return 100,000 to you. Get lost from my sight. How dare you pretend to be a patron in front of me? Nobody on the Extraordinary tform has heard of your name before. Get lost, you idiot!¡± Han Siyu was so angry that she hung up the call immediately. At this moment, Du Yue, the female student who always apanied Han Siyu everywhere she went, followed her in as well. She was a disgusting, materialistic girl. ¡°Siyu, is Jiu Jiang harassing you again?¡± asked Du Yue. ¡°Yes, he even said that he would pick me up from college and bring me out for a drink. Damn it, just who does he think he is?¡± said Han Siyu angrily.N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°Jiu Jiang? Isn¡¯t he the guy who paid special attention to you during your live broadcasting sessions? He did give you a lot of presents during the PK matchst time. Besides, didn¡¯t he transfer a lot of money to your WeChat ount privately?¡± At this moment, Chen Hao who was cleaning the toilets chimed in. Chen Hao had some impression of Jiu Jiang because Han Siyu only had two patrons at that time. One of them was him, and the other one was Jiu Jiang. He felt that Jiu Jiang loved Han Siyu more than he did. That was because Han Siyu told him before on WeChat that Jiu Jiang was probably pursuing her and that he was constantly sending her money. However, she had refused to ept a single cent. She had even sent Chen Hao a screenshot of their conversations. Why did she need to do that? It was because Han Siyu wanted to prove to Chen Hao that she wasn¡¯t interested in any other man other than him. However, after Chen Hao heard Han Siyu cursing Jiu Jiang behind his back, he felt that she was going a little overboard, hence he couldn¡¯t help but chime in. ¡°So what if he did? That person really should look at himself in the mirror first before asking Siyu out. Don¡¯t you think he deserves to be scolded? By the way, Chen Hao, how do you know so damn much about Siyu¡¯s live streaming? I can¡¯t believe that a poor loser like you actually watches a livestream!¡± eximed Du Yue in surprise. Even Han Siyu nced at Chen Hao in surprise and suspicion. Of course, she wasn¡¯t surprised at the fact that Chen Hao watched her live streaming sessions. She wouldn¡¯t be surprised at all even if Chen Hao masturbated while watching her. She was actually surprised by Chen Hao¡¯sst sentence. ¡°How did you know that Jiu Jiang was sending me money in private?¡± asked Han Siyu while staring fixedly at Chen Hao. Chapter 159 Retribution Chapter 159 Retribution Of course, Han Siyu was surprised. What the f*ck! She never even mentioned this to her roommates before. So, how did Chen Hao know about the private money that had been sent to her ount? Other than Ordinary guy, she never mentioned this to anyone before. ¡°So?¡± Chen Hao was getting nervous from Han Siyu¡¯s pressing questions. He couldn¡¯t help but interrupt her just now because he disliked her behavior. However, he blurted out his thoughts without thinking things through. Only then did he realize with a start that Han Siyu had told him about this matter when he was logged into his other username. ¡°Erm¡­ One night while I was watching your live stream, I saw that Jiu Jiang seemed to want to talk to you privately about the money he sent you. So, I thought that he definitely sent you a lot of money privately,¡± Chen Hao lied. Han Siyu¡¯s perturbed mind was finally put at ease. Du Yue sneered. ¡°Haha, I did not expect you to be such a loser. Do you really watch Siyu¡¯s live stream every night? Tell me honestly, did you masturbate while watching Siyu¡¯s live stream?¡± She smiled lewdly. Han Siyu was quite generous about these things. However, at this moment, she was ring at Chen Hao coldly. She did not expect that Chen Hao was actually one of her fans. ¡°I did not!¡± said Chen Hao truthfully. Naturally, he had never performed such lewd acts before. However, it definitely wasn¡¯t the first time he thought about it. ¡°Hmph, you better be telling the truth. Losers like you will never be able to get a beauty like her!¡± said Du Yue as she tried to butter up Han Siyu. ¡°Enough of this. Let¡¯s go out to see whether they have finished their jobs yet. We should be getting ready to go to Imperial KTV already. Chen Hao, clean the toilets quickly.¡± After uttering those words, Han Siyu turned on her heels and left. Chen Hao finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was a close call just now. He could hardly exin himself. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and logged into his other ount to send Han Siyu a message. In general, he told her that he had been watching her live streamtely and noticed that she had changed drastically and she was not the same person she used to be. Moreover, she was not as passionate as she was before to her fans. She wasn¡¯t interesting anymore. It seemed that it was time for him to seek out other beautiful anchors. He wanted to use this to scare Han Siyu. That was because he indirectly made her into the person she was today. However, her arrogant attitude now would lead to her demise someday. Hence, Chen Hao had to give her a warning first by telling her not to act rashly. After they were done with the cleanup, the cars that Han Siyu had booked were waiting outside, ready to drive them to Imperial KTV. Everybody waited outside. ¡°Siyu,e and take a look at this quickly. Ordinary Guy sent you a WeChat message!¡± At this moment, Du Yue rushed out with Han Siyu¡¯s mobile phone in her hand. ¡°Huh? When did he send it?¡± ¡°About 4 minutes ago! I am sorry I did not hear it,¡± said Du Yue apologetically. ¡°What the f*ck! The reason I gave you my mobile phone was because I wanted you to check my WeChat messages around the clock. How dare you dy it for 4 minutes?!¡± When Han Siyu heard this, she was frantic. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s like this, Siyu. I saw that there were a few ces that weren¡¯t clean after everybody left just now so I asked Chen Hao who was thest one to leave to clean it up again. Hence, 4 minutes had already gone by before I saw Ordinary Guy¡¯s messages,¡± Du Yue said fearfully. ¡°It¡¯s ok. I will reply him now¡­¡± However, when she saw the contents of Ordinary Guy¡¯s messages, she was shocked, even to the point of crying. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Siyu?¡± asked Du Yue. ¡°I think Ordinary Guy might not like me anymore. He says that I have changed. Did I change, Du Yue? Did I really change? Am I not the cute, precious Siyu in his eyes anymore?¡± Han Siyu started to cry as she was worried. Nobody cared more than her about the way Ordinary Guy looked at her. ¡°Siyu, don¡¯t worry. Why don¡¯t you quickly exin to Ordinary Guy?¡± Du Yue advised. ¡°Erm, which car should I be getting on?¡± Chen Hao who finally managed to finish his work walked out at this moment. When he saw that there were many cars and they were already full with people, he couldn¡¯t help but ask Du Yue who had asked him to stay behind to clean up. They couldn¡¯t just ask him to grab a cab likest time right? ¡°Oh my God! Just get on whichever car you like. Can¡¯t you see that Siyu is having a crisis now? You really are a douchebag who only knows how to enjoy himself!¡± Du Yue scolded impatiently. ¡°Ignore him, Du Yue. Help me think of a way to reply Ordinary Guy,¡± said Han Siyu anxiously. Then, they started discussing. After Han Siyu came up with the contents, she immediately replied to Ordinary Guy¡¯s messages. Ping! A crisp sound of a WeChat message being received could be heard vaguely. It seemed to have been emitted from one of the students'' mobile phones from one of the cars beside her. Han Siyu was immediately shocked. ¡°What the f*ck? What is happening here? Du Yue, did you hear that?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if this is a coincidence or not but did you know that the moment I sent out the message, I immediately heard the sound of a WeChat message being receiveding from one of the cars?¡± Han Siyu thought to herself, Even if this was a coincidence, it can¡¯t be that coincidental right? Could Ordinary Guy be somebody from her ss? Then, who could he be? Han Siyu thought to herself excitedly. ¡°I did not hear it. Besides, if you listen closely, many people here are receiving their WeChat messages. Siyu, aren¡¯t you too sensitive about it?¡± Du Yue was speechless. Han Siyu listened attentively. Sure enough, the sounds of messages being received by the students¡¯ mobile phones could be heard from time to time. At this moment, she nodded her head in disappointment. She was very nervous when she was around Ordinary Guy, especially since she had recently reached the point where she was being quite sensitive about it. ¡°I might be thinking too much. Let us go then!¡± Han Siyu said dejectedly when she saw that Ordinary Guy did not reply to her messages. Furthermore, she had even lost all her arrogance in her manner of speaking. At this moment, Chen Hao wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and quickly changed his WeChat ount. Damn it, that was a close call just now! Chen Hao thought to himself. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t a stranger to Imperial KTV anymore. Han Siyu was considered quite capable herself as she reserved a huge private room straightaway. The room was big enough to contain more than 60 people. Everybody started to enjoy themselves like they were holding a party there, it was indeed a lively atmosphere. At first, everybody was too embarrassed to sing in public. However, not long after that, some microphone hogs appeared. Although their voices were less than impressive, it was alright as they all came here to have fun. Chen Hao was drinking beer with Yang Hui and his roommates at a corner. ¡°What the f*ck do you mean?! Are you crazy or something?!¡± At this moment, Han Siyu suddenly shouted into her mobile phone, causing everybody to jump in fright. The crowd immediately turned silent and even the music was switched off. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Siyu?¡± Blondie and a few other students immediately asked out of concern. ¡°F*ck! Jiu Jiang actually threatened me. I don¡¯t know where he got photos of my daily life and he even Content held by N?velDrama.Org. knows that I am currently at Imperial KTV. Moreover, he says that he ising here to find me. Damn it, he is out of his mind? Fine, let hime then. I want to see what he does!¡± Han Siyu scolded irritably. ¡°Yeah, let hime. We have many people here to deal with him anyway!¡± Blondie shouted as he picked up his beer bottle. ¡°Siyu, calm down. Think about it, Jiu Jiang is from Jin Ling and he is able to get his hands on pictures of your daily life. Furthermore, he knows that you are now at Imperial KTV, hence he definitely has something up his sleeves. You have to be calm when dealing with this matters. If you can¡¯t deal with it yourself, then you should report this to the senior management of Extraordinary tform,¡± Ma Xiaonan who was drinking with Chen Hao reminded her at this moment. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t care. I am going crazy right now. He even told me that he would cause trouble and find someone to r*pe me. God damn it! Who does he think he is?! I will let him know that I am not someone to be trifled with,¡± Han Siyu scolded straightaway. Chapter 160 Han Siyu’s Call Chapter 160 Han Siyu¡¯s Call ¡°Huh? Siyu, you should quickly give senior management of yourpany a call. Moreover, you should quickly contact Ordinary Guy as well,¡± said one of the girls anxiously. After all, they were still girls. So naturally, they would feel anxious when they heard that somebody was trying to start a fight or stir up some troubles. ¡°Hmph, why should I be afraid?! I don¡¯t need anybody¡¯s protection. If Jiu Jiang reallyes to Imperial KTV to trouble me, trust me, he won''t be able to walk once I''m done with him. That is because there is somebody here whom we all know that could make even the president of the Imperial KTV fall to his knees. Haha! This is our territory!¡± Han Siyuughed out loud with her hands on her hips. Chen Hao was stunned. Damn it, was his identity exposed? ¡°Huh? Who is this person?¡± Du Yue and the rest of the girls were very curious when they heard that the powerful person that Han Siyu mentioned was acquainted with everybody. ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t ask me any further. I just want you all to know that you guys shouldn¡¯t be afraid of anything because I got your backs. Let us all continue to party!¡± Han Siyu called out. Blondie and the rest of the students picked up their beer bottles excitedly and downed it. The situation turned livelier. However, Chen Hao felt a little uneasy. Han Siyu was just too full of herself and she was still behaving so arrogantly. Chen Hao regretted his decision and was contemting whether he should find some time to talk to the Extraordinary tform management team about this to see whether they could demote her or not. Just when he was thinking about it, suddenly a loud sound was heard and the doors to the private room were kicked open. Following that, a big group of people entered. There were more than 30 people there. ¡°What the hell do you guys think you are doing?¡± Blondie was stunned at first, then he started cursing straightaway. However, following that, a group of youngsters grabbed his hair while waving around a beer bottle before bringing it down directly upon his head, causing his head to smash to the ground. ¡°Ah!¡± all the girls started shrieking in an instant. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°Everybody, don¡¯t f*cking move!¡± some of the youngsters yelled out ruthlessly. These girls have often seen fights breaking out amongst them. However, it was the first time they saw such a brutal fight and there were so many people involved. Furthermore, all the people involved were ruthless. The moment they arrived, they had already smashed a beer bottle on Blondie¡¯s head. Of course, the girls were terrified. ¡°What do you guys think you are doing? Do you know this ce? Do you even know who I am?!¡± At this moment, not only were the other students afraid, even Han Siyu herself was afraid as well. Because no matter how powerful she was, she couldn¡¯t help but lose her confidence after these guys started to cause a ruckus. At this moment, she stood up and uttered those words with a flushed face. ¡°Of course I know who you are. You are Han Siyu, one of the most famous inte celebrities. Haha, didn¡¯t you ask me to cause you trouble? Well, here I am. So Siyu, don¡¯t you want to apany me for a few drinks since I am so supportive of you?¡± A chubby-looking man who looked approximately 38 or 39 years old stepped out from the crowd and sneered. Amongst the crowd, he was the most casually dressed of them all as he only wore a simple T-shirt. However, there was a dragon-styled tattoo on his arms. One look at it and you knew that he was a formidable person. ¡°Are you Jiu Jiang?¡± Han Siyu knew who he was without a second thought. ¡°You really dare toe to Imperial KTV to cause me trouble. Believe it or not, I will find somebody to beat you up!¡± Han Siyu yelled out unyieldingly. On the other hand, there wasn¡¯t a slightest trace of fear on Jiu Jiang¡¯s face as he walked toward Han Siyu. He wore a cold smile on his face. Following that¡­ A loud p was heard as he gave Han Siyu a backhanded p on her face. Han Siyu was knocked onto the couch. ¡°Damn you, b*tch! Did you think that you are really that awesome?! At first, I thought that you were quite attractive so I gave you a tiny bit of money to make you happy. I never expected that that favor would go unappreciated and you even look down upon me. Haha! You don¡¯t have to rush around to find somebody to beat me up today as I will beat you up first b*tch!¡± said Jiu Jiang with a cold smile. Suddenly at this moment, the doors were pushed open. ¡°Miss Du, who did you say was causing a fight here?¡± Four or five bodyguards from Imperial KTV followed Du Yue in. Du Yue was a smart youngdy. Just now, when Jiu Jiang and his gang rushed in, and when Blondie decided to get into a fight with them, she slipped out carefully behind them just as they were going to beat him up. After all, the private room was dark and some of them were in a fight, hence nobody noticed Du Yue at all. Hence, she called in the security guards. The security guards of Imperial KTV were quite formidable. ¡°Oh! It¡¯s President Zhu Jiang! President Zhu, nice to meet you.¡± Unexpectedly, the moment the security guards saw Jiu Jiang¡¯s face when he turned around, they were shocked. ¡°What do you mean President Zhu Jiang? He is the one beating us up!¡± When Du Yue saw the security guards attitude, she was instantly dumbfounded. ¡°Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would President Zhu Jiang beat you all up? He is the President of a listed subsidiarypany of Haishan Group, so how could he stoop to your levels? Let¡¯s go everyone, we will silence that mouth of yours the next time you spout such nonsense! President Zhu, please continue your business.¡± Some of the security guards shed him a ttering smile before they left. These security guards weren¡¯t afraid of Zhu Jiang, but Li Feihong had already reminded them earlier that if they saw anybody from Haishan Commercial Group, they should treat them courteously no matter what that person does. There wasn¡¯t any other way around this as the Haishan Commercial group was the real tyrant of the local business here in Jin Ling. However, if the hands of Jin Ling Commercial Group were forced, they would not be afraid of them. But usually, they treated each other with respect. Hence, if some customers had offended somebody from Haishan Commercial Group and they came here to seek their revenge, the security guards here could only turn a blind eye toward them. Of course, Zhu Jiang knew in his heart that he shouldn¡¯t overdo it. Han Siyu started to panic when she heard the security guards¡¯ words. What the f*ck?! Jiu Jiang¡ªthe person she had always looked down upon was actually one of the Presidents of Haishan Commercial Group! No wonder he had such a huge amount of resources at his disposal to investigate her. Seeing the security guards of Imperial KTV fleeing in fright, Han Siyu¡¯s confidence level dropped instantly. ¡°So, Han Siyu, what¡¯s your ns? There shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to apany me for a drink now, right? I know that you want to give the senior management of Extraordinary Live Streaming tform a call, right? Hahaha! Fine, why don¡¯t you give them a call then. By the way, why don¡¯t you mention my name to them at the same time and see whether they would bother to help you out or not,¡± said Zhu Jiang with a sneer. Han Siyu covered her face and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so full of yourself. Who says that I want to give senior management a call? I will give somebody else a call. The moment she arrives, don¡¯t even think that you can walk out of here alive!¡± At this moment, there was nothing that the senior management could do, so she could only beg ¡®her¡¯ then. ¡°Ok, give her a call then. I want to see how capable you are.¡± On the other hand, Zhu Jiang seemed to be looking forward to it. Han Siyu immediately gave somebody a call and started exining the situation to the person on the line. Then, she crossed her arms in confidence and looked back at Zhu Jiang instead. Chen Hao was sitting at the farthest corner of the room minding his own business. He was only surprised by the fact that Han Siyu was really sessful in her career. Because other than him, who knew she actually had other patrons as well! It turned out to be true! Because not long after that, Chen Hao heard the sound of footsteps outside the private room. There was obviously a group of people rushing toward them. Following that, the doors to the private room were flung open once again and a group of bodyguards dressed in ck suits entered. Their formidable aura shocked Zhu Jiang¡¯s men. Zhu Jiang was dumbfounded. However, he was shocked when he saw thest person who entered the room. ¡°President Li, what the¡­¡± The person who entered the room was none other than Imperial KTV¡¯s general manager, Li Feihong. ¡°Haha, President Zhu, you are an old-timer in this field, so why don¡¯t you let these college students go on my ount?¡± Li Feihong strode toward him and gave him a casual smile. ¡°Ok then, since President Li personally asked for it, and this is your territory as well, so they are under your protection, I wouldn¡¯t dare to say ¡®no¡¯ to your request then.¡± When Zhu Jiang saw the bodyguards of the business group, he did not dare act brazenly anymore. ¡°You are wrong, President Zhu. Miss Han here is not under my protection. However, she appears to be under the protection of one of my bosses. Furthermore, everybody present here today is acquainted with her so you can¡¯t touch a single one of them,¡± said Li Feihong. ¡°Oh? Then I have to ask, who is able to make you act this way?¡± asked Zhu Hong while smiling. ¡°So, what if it¡¯s me?!¡± At this moment, a crisp female voice rang out. Then, a youngdy wearing a pair of stiletto heels strode out. Chapter 161 A Visit to the Hospital Chapter 161 A Visit to the Hospital As the woman entered the room, everyone finally knew the backer that Han Siyu had mentioned. It turned out to be Meng Cairu! ¡°Miss Meng!¡± Despite their astonishment at her arrival, all of them greeted her happily. Of course they were astonished. They knew that Meng Cairu put a lot of effort in dressing up to look beautiful. But she had high standards so she was still single. They never thought Meng Cairu had a special connection with Li Feihong from Jin Ling Commercial Group. Not only that, Li Feihong seemed to respect her a lot. It was unbelievable! The story of how Han Siyu and Meng Cairu got to know each other started the night Chen Hao brought his subordinates and rescued Meng Cairu. That night, Chen Hao ordered Li Feihong to send her back to college. Then, Meng Cairu found the powerbank left by Chen Hao on Li Feihong¡¯s car which put her in a great shock. Is Chen Hao the one who rescued me? As Meng Cairu wanted to go back to confirm, Han Siyu bumped into her after finishing her live stream outdoors. She was dumbfounded to see Meng Cairue back to college in a Rolls-Royce and quickly asked her what was going on. Meng Cairu told her briefly about the incident. She then told Han Siyu proudly that she might ask for her help if she had any trouble in Jin Ling Commercial Street in the future. She was bothered by her doubt of whether Chen Hao was the one who rescued her, so she quickly went back to her room to check with Chen Hao. The answer she got from him was the same as Li Feihong''s exnation. Hence, her doubt was cleared. Of course, something happened after that too. The week before this, Meng Cairu and Han Siyu went to Jin Ling Commercial Street to buy some cosmetics. They got into some trouble and were teased by several drunk men who seemed to be of high status. Meng Cairu was terrified and immediately gave a call to Li Feihong. He then came with a group of men to beat the drunk men up. Meng Cairu was over the moon and Han Siyu¡¯s admiration for her skyrocketed due to that. The feeling of having a backer was amazing! That was why Han Siyu immediately called Meng Cairu just now when they got into trouble. Only then Meng Cairu came to the scene. Thinking that Zhu Jiang might not know her, Li Feihong went to him and whispered in his ear. Zhu Jiang¡¯s face turned as pale as a sheet as soon as he heard what he said. If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m definitely not on the same level as this woman! ¡°Siyu? Did they bully you? Did Blondie get beaten by them as well?¡± Meng Cairu looked at Han Siyu and asked in concern. Of course she had to take care of her as Han Siyu didn¡¯t know that she kept contact with Ordinary Guy secretly. After all, Han Siyu was the one who introduced him to her, so by all means she had to treat her nicely. ¡°Yes, Miss Meng!¡± Han Siyu replied firmly. ¡°Motherf*cker, who beat you, teach him a lesson!¡± Meng Cairu crossed her arms in front of her chest and said. p! Bang! Han Siyu went forward and gave a loud p on Zhu Jiang¡¯s face. Zhu Jiang¡¯s eyes turned red from anger but he dared not give any response when he thought of Li Feihong¡¯s warning just now. As for Blondie, he got up from the floor, grabbed a wine bottle and returned the favour to the thug that hit him. It¡¯s so cool! All of the students were thrilled by the scene. Obviously Zhu Jiang could not stay here any longer. He swallowed all his pride and anger silently and even had to apologize to them. It made him feel like he was given a pile of sh*t in front of him, and he was forced to say it was scrumptious after licking it. When the incident was almost solved, naturally Li Feihong left. He had done all these things in order to tter Young Master Chen indirectly. In fact, he didn¡¯t notice that he was sitting at the corner of the room the whole time. ¡°Miss Meng, you¡¯re the best!¡± Everyone cheered excitedly and drank a toast to her. Since everyone went in front to have a toast to her, including Yang Hui and his other roommates, Chen Hao felt awkward if he didn¡¯t do the same. ¡°Miss Meng, cheers!¡± Chen Hao said while holding a ss of wine. ¡°Haha, Chen Hao, you¡¯re here too? You¡¯re wherever trouble is. I didn¡¯t notice you just now. Where were you at?¡± Although Meng Cairu still looked down on Chen Hao, she didn¡¯t sound as nasty as before since Chen Hao did help her indirectly during the incident in Zero Barst time. ¡°Haha, him? He was sitting at the corner all this time. Just now when Jiu Jiang broke into the room with his men, I saw Blondie and the others stand up immediately except him! Damn, what a scaredy-cat! We girls are even braver than him!¡± Du Yue said immediately. As she slipped out from the room silently just now, she happened to spot Chen Hao who was sitting at the corner when she passed by him. ¡°That¡¯s right. Furthermore, do you think that he could fight?¡± ¡°He was probably shaking in his boots and couldn¡¯t stand up straight. Else I believe he would have stood up just now! Hahaha!¡± Some of the girls scorned profusely. Meng Cairu forced a smile and shook her head while looking at Chen Hao. Still, she drank the toast given by Chen Hao. ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom!¡± Listening to everyone¡¯s mocking, Chen Hao remained silent. After all, he didn¡¯t do anything helpful for the incident that happened today. ¡°Hahaha, he¡¯s so scared he needs to pee!¡± ¡°Whoever bes his girlfriend can just kill herself in embarrassment!¡± ¡°Pff, no girl would want to be with a loser like him!¡± ¡°Stop discussing him. Oh ya, Miss Meng. When I called you this afternoon, you said that you had something else to do so you couldn¡¯t make it to our gathering. What was it?¡± Han Siyu shifted the conversation to another topic. ¡°Oh, I went to buy something. If it wasn¡¯t because Manager Li had something to take care of this afternoon, I would have let hime to look after you guys earlier. Too bad he waste because of that incident that made a huge fuss among Jin Ling.¡± ¡°Huh? What happened?¡± It sparked everyone¡¯s interest. ¡°Why didn''t we see anything about it in the news?¡± Some people asked in surprise. ¡°Are you dumb? Such a huge incident would naturally be covered up. Manager Li didn¡¯t want to reveal the whole incident. I heard something happened at Hope Elementary School which even made Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing and other important people from the business world appear there. The whole street was sealed off by hundreds of luxury cars!¡± ¡°Damn!¡± ¡°Sh*t!¡± Everyone was stunned. Just then, Chen Hao left and closed the door. Listening to their conversation, he shook his head helplessly. He wondered why things happened unexpectedly¡ªhe had helped those who he didn¡¯t intend to help, and he had caused trouble to those who he wanted to help. In addition, he couldn¡¯t and didn¡¯t want his identity to be exposed, so he felt frustrated and helpless on most of the things he encountered. It seems like I have to be more low profile from today onward. I shouldn¡¯t butt in on things which are none of my business. Chen Hao thought it was the best for him to keep himself out of public eyes and finish his studies smoothly. Meanwhile, his phone rang. He nced and noticed it was a call from Su Ziyue. He quickly epted the call in the washroom. ¡°Chen Hao, are you free now?¡± ¡°Yes, I am. What is it?¡± ¡°Ying is feeling unwell. I measured her temperature just now and she has a high fever. I want to bring ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. her to hospital,¡± Su Ziyue said softly. Chen Hao knew she really ran into some trouble since she had called him. It was probably because she was running out of money to bring Ying to the hospital, else she wouldn¡¯t have called him for help. It seemed like it was time to find a more appropriate job for Su Ziyue since it was better for her to be financially independent to have a better life in the future instead of relying on him to keep supporting them financially. As he was worrying about Ying¡¯s condition, he didn¡¯t dy. He quickly got into a cab to bring Ying and Su Ziyue to the hospital after ending the call. Despite it beingte at night, there were a lot of patients waiting for their turn to see a doctor. Chen Hao was in line, carrying Ying in his arms. It was almost his turn but a woman suddenly cut the queue and stood in front of him¡­ Chapter 162 The Goddess in the Library Chapter 162 The Goddess in the Library A young woman suddenly cut in line and stood in front of Chen Hao. Isn¡¯t she disrespectful? She did it without even saying anything. Chen Hao was in a bad mood today. He said angrily, ¡°Miss, do you think it¡¯s right to cut in line just like that?¡± She ignored him. Ying also frowned and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, miss. My teacher said we shouldn¡¯t cut in line!¡± The woman turned around and scolded coldly, "Sh*t,what¡¯s wrong with me cutting in line? What can you do about it? What a b*tch!¡± She looked like she was only around 21 years old. Her skin was bright and fair, and she looked quite beautiful. She was also dressed very sexily, but the way she looked down on people really made Chen Hao angry. Chen Hao¡¯s anger boiled over and he cursed, ¡°You are the b*tch!¡± ¡°F*ck, you dare to curse me? Just wait here, I¡¯m going to find someone to kill you!¡± The woman screamed like crazy and was pulled away by the people around her. Finally, she left angrily. The incident just now was just a brief interlude for Chen Hao. He didn''t give too much thought about it and just continued lining up. When it was his turn, the beautiful nurse in charge of registration said softly, ¡°Young man, you shouldn¡¯t have scolded her. That woman is not an ordinary person!¡± The nurse continued to warn him, ¡°She was here this afternoon and she went to visit a VIP patient.There were all kinds of luxury cars. I think she''s quite powerful as well. You guys should quickly see the doctor and go home. Don''t get into any trouble!¡± It was her who started acting rudely first. However, Chen Hao didn''t say anything because he knew that the nurse had good intentions. Su Ziyue also advised, ¡°It¡¯s ok, Chen Hao. Let''s leave as soon as we finish visiting the doctor!¡± Chen Hao took Ying to the doctor. It was nothing serious. She had a cold and she would be fine after taking some medicine. Su Ziyue was relieved. After that, Chen Hao and Su Ziyue walked out from the hospital. They had just reached the door when several ck luxurious cars rampaged and stopped at the hospital¡¯s entrance out of the blue. Then, arge group of well-dressed people got out of the cars and walked inside the hospital. And when Su Ziyue saw the woman who came down from one of the cars in the middle, she was terrified.. Isn¡¯t that the woman who fought with Chen Hao just now because of the queue? Don¡¯t tell me she has brought someone to take revenge on Chen Hao? Luckily we came out early. A distinguished young man asked, "I just heard the news. How is President Xu? Is he out from the ICU? " The woman nodded, ¡°Not yet. His four limbs haveminuted fractures so he is still in the ICU! But luckily his life is not in danger now.¡± ¡°F*ck, who dared to be so ruthless? I know it must be someone from Jin Ling Commercial Group¡­¡± ¡°Shh! Don''t say anything here!¡± That man who was shouting immediately shut up after being reminded by the person beside him. As for Chen Hao, he was not far away from them and he didn¡¯t walk away. Why? Because he knew that distinguished young man who just arrived. Wasn¡¯t that Zhu Jiang who was embarrassed at Imperial KTV just now? Chen Hao finally understood who was the President Xu that they were talking about. It was probably Xu Dayuan. It turned out that he had been sent to the hospital. It seemed that this group of people, including that rude woman, were all people of Haishan Group. Vroom! All of a sudden, it was the sound of the engine again. There were another dozen luxurious carsing. It seemed that Zhu Jiang knew all of them. There were many more luxurious carsing in. If you thought about it, the Xu family''s Haishan Group had been in Jin Ling for a long time. They could be considered the most influential and powerful group in this area. This Xu Dayuan must have some connections. Besides, he couldn¡¯t hide what happened this afternoon no matter how he tried to because the movement was just too big. The news that Xu Dayuan¡¯s limbs were broken must have spread. So now, it depended on how Xu Dayuan would exin himself. ¡°Chen Hao, do you know them?¡± Su Ziyue asked nervously when she saw so many VIPs around the hospital. Chen Haoughed bitterly and said, ¡°I know all of them but they don¡¯t know me. There are all here to visit someone! Don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°I was scared to death. I thought they were called here by the woman who quarreled with you!¡± Su Ziyue let out a long breath. Chen Hao didn''t stay any longer after he took a nce at the group. He took a cab with Su Ziyue to send her back. Xu Dayuan dared not provoke the resentment of both sides as Li Zhenguo was holding some of the evidence of his illegal business. On the way back, Chen Hao was still thinking about Su Ziyue¡¯s future job. Chen Hao smiled and asked, ¡°Oh yes, Ziyue, do you want to change jobs?¡±This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. If Su Ziyue wanted to, she could choose from any field under Jin Ling Commercial Group. Besides, it would be possible for him to open a kindergarten for her in the future. Su Ziyue said, ¡°I also wanted to tell you about this. Today, President Tang told me that he is going to invest in our kindergarten. Besides, he is going to send me for some training courses at Jiang Nan College! I will be able to attend some psychology courses in Jiang Nan College tomorrow!¡± ¡°Oh? That''s good!¡± Chen Hao nodded. Sigh, sometimes no matter how thoughtful boys were, they were not as thoughtful as girls. There were plenty of colleges that offered social science and teaching courses to those who had already started working or had not attended university. They could attend sses and receive tertiary education to enhance their skills. Chen Hao had the idea of introducing Su Ziyue to those sses before, but he hadn¡¯t had the time to tell her. In this case, it was still a good thing since Jiang Nan College was almost as famous as Jin Ling College. It would be the same wherever she went. Chen Hao was a little relieved. He told Su Ziyue that he would visit her in Jiang Nan College when he had the time. When he got back to the dormitory, it was almost 10.30p.m. He was dead tired today so he went to bed directly. For the next two days, Chen Hao finally had some brief peace. These two days, he had been reading and studying in the library. The summer vacation wasing soon and he still had to deal with the final exam. It was around 10 o''clock in the morning. Chen Hao was studying in the library. Suddenly, a very nice fragrance wafted from beside him. It smelled like a woman¡¯s natural fragrance. Chen Hao turned around and saw a talldy sitting down beside him. Everyone knew that the library of the college was usually almost full at this time. Especially those who were in their third year like Chen Hao, they were busy with both postgraduate entrance examinations and the end of term examinations. Chen Hao had been reserving his position since 5.30a.m. The library was already crowded. As for this girl, she was tall, thin and had a great figure. Her skin was fair and it seemed to glow. With her long hair reaching her waist, she gave off a gentle, quiet feeling. She radiated the vibes of a goddess. Obviously, she didn''t want to sit next to a boy, but there was no other seat. Most importantly, from the moment she came in, she felt very ufortable with the stares from so many boys. Only Chen Hao, who was studying with his head down, made her feel not so tense. At the moment, her face was a little red. She nodded and smiled at Chen Hao. She then sat down and opened her book. She looked so perfect holding her face with a hand while reading quietly. ¡°Damn! The goddess is sitting there. Ah!¡± Immediately, a boy cried in envy, ¡°Sh*t, I''m much more handsome than that loser. I''m jealous!¡± Ah-choo! Chen Hao sneezed after sniffing her fragrance. Of course the girl knew that it was caused by her perfume. Immediately, she blushed even more and moved slightly toward the other side. As for Chen Hao, he became even embarrassed. He bowed down his head to focus on his studies. Drip! Drip! Suddenly, Chen Hao felt a heat in his nose, and then his nose started to bleed. The blood dripped directly on the past year test paper. He wanted to find some tissue paper, but apparently he didn¡¯t have any! As he was panicking, he saw the girl beside him gently push a pack of tissues to him while still holding her face with her other hand. She didn¡¯t even look at Chen Hao but she blushed even more. Chen Hao was embarrassed to death. He wanted to find a hole and hide in it. I should have just died now! I really should go to die! Argh! Chapter 163 The Humiliation Chapter 163 The Humiliation Chen Hao couldn''t stay in the library anymore. After wiping his nose, he ran out of the library. He felt very embarrassed when he thought about it. But he did it involuntarily because first of all, that girl was really very beautiful and she had an excellent figure. She was the kind of goddess that even nasty creepy men wouldn¡¯t dare to dream of. Furthermore, her scent was so fragrant, so much so that one could be immersed in it. It kept making Chen Hao sneeze. Sigh, Chen Hao sighed and thought that these girls who were like goddesses would usually belong to rich guys. After all, how could an ordinary person be able to keep their hearts! Hey! Wait, I am also a rich man now. Sh*t! How could I always forget about my identity! Chen Haoughed bitterly and shook his head. He took a look inside the library through the window. He found that the girl had turned and was staring at Chen Hao curiously. Their eyes met and that girl quickly bowed her head. Chen Hao also didn''t keep staring at her. Thinking about it, he med himself. Since he already had Su Tongxin now, how could he still stare at a girl like this. Besides, there were so many beautiful girls. It wasn¡¯t right for him to fall in love with all of them! Chen Hao was not that despicable. Chen Hao was not in the mood to study anymore as he suppressed his restless heart. He looked at the time and it was almost noon. He had an appointment with Su Ziyue to have lunch at Jiang Nan College today. Su Ziyue had arrived at Jiang Nan College two days ago for some training courses. He hadn''t visited her yet. Therefore, Chen Hao took a cab to Jiang Nan College. Jiang Nan College and Jing Lin College were both tertiary institutions located in Jin Ling. They were as popr as each other. The two colleges were not too far apart, so he arrived in about 20 minutes. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± After receiving Chen Hao''s call, Su Ziyue had been waiting for him at the school gate. They met and exchanged greetings. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you somewhere for lunch!¡± Chen Hao smiled. Su Ziyue suddenly said mysteriously, ¡°Chen Hao, I''ll treat you today!¡± ¡°Huh? Why?¡± ¡°Because¡­ It¡¯s my birthday today....¡± Su Ziyue said softly, ¡°I have no friends or rtives all this while, and I¡¯ve never celebrated my birthday before. But now, you are the only friend I have, and you''ve helped me so much. I just want to treat you to a meal!¡± ¡°But Chen Hao... is it ok if we go to the canteen?¡± After all, Chen Hao was a rich young master. Although Su Ziyue knew that Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t look down on her, she still wanted to ask his opinion. ¡°No wonder you called yesterday and asked me when I aming to visit you. Turns out that today is your birthday. Why didn''t you tell me earlier? I didn''t prepare any presents for you!¡± Chen Hao scratched his head. ¡°I don¡¯t want any presents. I am fine with just eating together with you.¡± Since Su Ziyue put it that way, Chen Hao didn''t say anything. But, after all, it was Su Ziyue''s birthday. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t really let her pay the bill. Besides, this was her first time celebrating her birthday with a friend, so it shouldn¡¯t be too in. Therefore, Chen Hao had decided upon a western restaurant called Sti in Jiang Nan College. He had heard Bai Xiaofei and his rich friends mention it before when he used to mix with them. The environment was quite good. Of course, although it was quite expensive, Su Ziyue didn¡¯t say anything since Chen Hao liked it. She went in with Chen Hao. Elegant music yed in the restaurant and there were many customers at this hour. All the customers inside were from rich families who were dressed luxuriously. Some of the girls pursed their mouths in disdain when they saw Chen Hao and Su Ziyue who were dressed in in-looking clothes. ¡°Isn''t this Su Ziyue? Why did shee to Sti for dinner?¡± At this time, around five boys and girls came in. They suddenly stopped when they were passing by Chen Hao''s table. They looked at Su Ziyue in astonishment with a teasing smile in their eyes. Su Ziyue blushed and said,¡±Wang Ling, it''s you guys?¡± She didn''t dare to eat anymore and her hands grasped her cket nervously. This girl called Wang Ling was dressed coquettishly. Especially the short, figure-hugging ck dress that she was wearing; it barely covered her butt. The rest of them were also boldly dressed. As for the boys beside her, some of them had earrings and it seemed that they were all from a rich family. Listening to what they said, these people should be Su Ziyue''s ssmates from the training course. Chen Hao¡¯s college also had this kind of training course. How should he put it? In short, there were all This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. kinds of people in it. Some of them were rich kids who hadn¡¯t passed the entrance exam, and there were some small business owners, office workers and so on. The rich kids were here to pick up girls. As for the little sl*ts, no doubt, they were here to get a rich boyfriend. And the rest were just like Su Ziyue, who really wanted to learn something. ¡°Haha, Su Ziyue, aren''t you very poor? How can you afford to eat in such a ce?¡± Wang Ling crossed her arms and nced at Su Ziyue arrogantly. She felt a special sense of achievement if she could debase Su Ziyue like this. Why? It was because when the ss started two days ago, a rich guy in the ss wanted to choose the most beautiful girl in the ss. It was fine because Wang Ling was more than willing to be chosen. However, all those rich guys voted for Su Ziyue! They even wanted Su Ziyue to give a speech of gratitude. Of course, Su Ziyue ignored them. She had been deliberately avoiding their oste. However, this made Wang Ling, who had a desire to excel over others and had not been defeated in her appearance, feel upset about it. People always said that the cruelest thing for a woman was to let her admit that other women were prettier than her! Some people might admit defeat in public but they would feel upset silently in their heart. Wang Ling was this kind of person. What was more, Su Ziyue was just a loser who had nothing. ¡°Today is my birthday so I am treating my friend to lunch,¡± Su Ziyue replied, her voice void of emotion. Of course, she could also feel Wang Ling¡¯s hostility. ¡°Oh my God, treating your friend? This is your boyfriend, am I right?¡± A girlughed and said, ¡°Haha, Wang Ling, Su Ziyue and this boy really are made for each other! Look at the clothes they¡¯re wearing!¡± One of the guys shook his head andughed bitterly. He said, "Both of you should stop it. Don¡¯t you see that they only ordered two steaks and two sses of juice? Today is the most beautiful girl in our ss, Su Ziyue¡¯s birthday. Let them have a good celebration. Don''t hold them back!¡± Wang Ling was even more uneasy when she heard him mention ¡®the most beautiful girl in the ss¡¯. ¡°But look¡­ The food that they ordered is only this much. They probably can''t even afford a cake for her birthday. Look at them, they must have used all their money to have a meal here, haha!¡± ¡°Then I should stop bothering you. No wonder I heard from one of her roommates yesterday that she never has her dinner. She only has some in rice for her lunch. I thought she wanted to keep fit but it turns out that she is penniless!" Wang Ling snorted coldly. Perhaps because she had satirized Su Ziyue enough, she turned around with her arms crossed. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I won''t disturb you guys anymore. We still have to apany Young Master Li to Miss Liao''s birthday party. Am I right, Young Master Li?¡± Wang Ling held on to a rich guy''s arm intimately and left. As for Su Ziyue who was humiliated, she buried her head in silence and stopped eating . After a while, Chen Hao saw that there were tears running down her cheeks... Chapter 164 Live Streaming a Fight Chapter 164 Live Streaming a Fight ¡°Chen Hao, I¡¯m sorry about that. I¡¯ve put you in such an embarrassing situation just now. I shouldn¡¯t havee to this kind of ce!¡± Su Ziyue started to sob. It¡¯s her birthday today yet she was belittled and embarrassed in front of the only friend she has. Her pride must have been wounded terribly. No one could understand Su Ziyue¡¯s feelings now better than Chen Hao. Every time his dignity was trampled when he was poor back then, he felt his heart ache as if it was stabbed by needles. Listening to their taunts, Chen Hao had the urge to fight back initially. But even if he did that this time, how would Su Ziyue be able to study with themfortably in future? However, it was mainly because Chen Hao didn¡¯t really know who they were. They had all left when he finally acknowledged their background. He couldn¡¯t possibly get back at them now. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Everything will be over soon. What you need to do now is learn as much as possible in college!¡± Chen Hao tried tofort her. It might be better if he could ask for help from Bai Xiaofei to look after her in her college. Su Ziyue nodded her head profusely. ¡°Wait for a while. I¡¯m going to take something. I¡¯ll be right back!¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. He turned and left after that. He was going to take the cake that he had ordered online for Su Ziyue earlier. It was from a dessert shop in the Jiang Nan College campus. As Chen Hao left the restaurant, he saw a group of people¡ªabout twenty of them¡ªbowing politely at a woman in sunsses who walked into the restaurant. This group of people were all well-dressed in fashionable clothes. Chen Hao didn¡¯t bother much. The girl named Wang Ling had mentioned that they were celebrating the birthday of ady. This woman was probably here to celebrate her birthday. Whatever. Chen Hao arrived at the dessert shop which was not far away from Sti Restaurant. After waiting for 15 minutes, finally he got the cake and was ready to get back to the restaurant. As he was walking back to the restaurant, he saw a lot of students gathering at the restaurant. They were crowding at the entrance, and some of them were even taking photos with their mobile phones. It seemed like something was going on. ¡°Sh*t, that girl seems like she had done something to offend Miss Liao. Well, she could go against anyone but definitely not Miss Liao.¡± ¡°Today is Miss Liao¡¯s birthday so she has showed courtesy to her. Otherwise, this girl is getting into bigger trouble!¡± ¡°But what has she done?¡± ¡°They seem to have some grudge in the past and now they bumped into each other again here. Sigh, this girl looks quite pretty but too bad she¡¯s getting into big trouble today.¡± The crowd was gossiping. Chen Hao didn¡¯t think much. However, he trembled in shock as soon as he squeezed himself into the crowd and had a look. He saw a few girls pinning Su Ziyu on the ground with her hair being pulled. There was a girl crossing her legs and sitting like a boss in front of her. Su Ziyue¡¯s cheeks were all red. Obviously, she got pped by them. ¡°Let her go!¡± Chen Hao growled at once. He immediately went forward and pushed away those girls who were holding Su Ziyue. ¡°Hmph! F*ck! It¡¯s really you. It seems like I don¡¯t have to waste any effort to search for you!¡± The woman sitting in front of her stood up and said fiercely. Only then Chen Hao recognized her when he heard her voice. She was the woman who fought with him when she cut the queue in the hospital yesterday. This woman seemed to be an acquaintance of Xu Dayuan. Chen Hao didn¡¯t manage to recognize her at first because her clothing style today was obviously different from yesterday. ¡°It¡¯s you! Why do you bully others?¡± Chen Hao yelled furiously. ¡°Why? Haha. Let me tell you. It was your luck to leave the hospital early yesterday, or else I would have beaten you until you were admitted to the hospital directly. I was still thinking about how I should take my revenge to vent my anger, but you guys are here waiting for me unexpectedly!¡± The woman ¡°Miss Liao, is he the guy who quarreled with you yesterday?¡± ¡°F*ck. It¡¯s just a pair of losers. And here I thought you were some big shots or something. No wonder I couldn¡¯t get any information from your background check at all. You¡¯re really looking for trouble.. How dare you go against our Liao Hong?¡± Some of the guys ttered Liao Hong. ¡°Liao Hong, I know them. This girl is from our training course. Her name is Su Ziyue. This guy is probably her boyfriend!¡± Wang Ling finally understood why Liao Hong ordered her underlings to pin Su Ziyue down and even gave her a p while everyone was still weing her arrival. It turned out that Su Ziyue, this fool, had offended Liao Hong before this. Wang Ling was thrilled by the excitement and quickly introduced them. Liao Hong¡¯s family background was well-known in Jiang Nan College. She had Haishan Group to support her. She was one of the most important people in the college. She was arrogant and snobbish all the time. No one dared to go against her. The reason why Liao Hong was so furious was because she originally wanted to act as a heroine in front of the subordinates of her goduncle, Xu Dayuan, in the hospital yesterday. She cut in line as she wanted to arrange for a better doctor for Xu Dayuan¡¯s subordinates and transfer them to better wards. She ended up meeting a foolish man who asked her not to cut the line. Damn! This kind of bastard should just disappear! With her identity and status, she would never queue up in the first ce if it wasn¡¯t because she wanted to please her uncle. Haha! Anyway, that frustrated Liao Hong a lot. She didn¡¯t really take any action when it happened. She only called for several cars of people to search for Chen Hao and Su Ziyue after she finished visiting Xu Dayuan. But they were nowhere to be found at the end. Anyhow, everything happened by luck. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Come on, grab him now! Haha, I think this is the best birthday gift given by God. I will vent my anger as much as I can!¡± Liao Hong called out excitedly. Many men came to pin Chen Hao on the ground straight away after listening to her order. Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect this woman to be from Jiang Nan College too. ¡°Liao Hong, I¡¯m the one who quarrelled with you. It¡¯s none of her business. Let her go!¡± Chen Hao was held down tightly. He knew it was unlikely for him to avoid any punches from them but he didn¡¯t want to get Su Ziyue involved in this. It was indeed none of her business. ¡°Haha, what a lovey-dovey couple! The more you beg me to let her go, the more I refuse. I want you to know the consequences of going against me! You, give them two ps now! And you, live stream the scene. I want everyone to know the consequences of offending me!¡± Liao Hong pointed at Wang Ling andughed buoyantly. Wang Ling felt proud to be appointed by Liao Hong toplete the task. Other than getting a rich boyfriend, she went to college in order to widen herwork and to make good connections with powerful people. And now it was definitely a great chance for her to get closer with Liao Hong. Immediately she went in front of Chen Hao and Su Ziyue with a smirk on her face. ¡°Listen, Liao Hong allowed me to p you. me yourselves for being foolish enough to offend our Liao Hong! Haha!¡± p! p! As she ended her words, she gave a loud p each on their faces. There were a lot of students live streaming the scene happening in front of them. Of course, the live stream was watched by a lot of people online at once. ¡°Oh dear! Yiyi,e and have a look! Liao Hong is teaching someone a lesson in the Sti Restaurant! Who¡¯s so hapless to meet her there? Haha!¡± Some girls in the dormitory watched the live broadcast and said in thrill. ¡°That¡¯s right! She even ordered someone else to give the ps. She really likes to turn everything into a drama. Yiyi, let¡¯s go to have a look!¡± The girl tried to persuade her to tag along. ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± After saying that, Lin Yiyi took a quick nce at the live broadcast before she shifted her attention away from it nonchntly and went to her bed to swipe on her phone. After a few seconds. ¡°Oh sh*t!¡± Chapter 165 Young Master Chen Was in Rage Chapter 165 Young Master Chen Was in Rage Lin Yiyi¡ªwho was just about to take a nap¡ªwas shocked. She picked up her mobile phone and looked at it hurriedly. She was surprised at first, then shocked and rushed out of her bed and ran towards the restaurant in her pajamas. She was surprised because the person of her dreams came to her college, and she was shocked because Young Master Chen was being beaten up in the live broadcast! At the same time, something else happened at the Kickboxing Society of Jiang Nan College. It was arge club as there were more than 300 students in the society. It was established by a rich guy after he had directly spoken to the school and had thend approved. At the moment, there was a match ongoing inside the ring. ¡°Good! Awesome!¡± After one yer knocked down the other yer with a roundhouse kick, a thundering noise echoed throughout the court. ¡°Water!¡± The young man eased up his neck and walked out. Immediately, his sidekick opened the bottle and gave it to him. After a few drinks, he threw the bottle aside. ¡°Wow, you are so powerful and handsome!¡± several beautiful girls with mobile phones rushed into his arms and said. ¡°Handsome my a*s. You thought I didn¡¯t notice all of you staring at your mobile phones just now? What are you looking at? How dare you not watch me box?¡± the young man grumbled coldly. ¡°Haha, we are watching Liao Hong pping someone. Look, Liao Hong is teaching this poor loser a lesson!¡± The girl opened the live stream on her phone and handed it to him. ¡°Sh*t! C-Chen...¡± The young man¡¯s body was trembling and then he violently pushed away the girls in his arms. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Young Master Bai?¡± the girlsined. ¡°Hurry up! Get some men and let¡¯s go to Sti Restaurant!¡± Naturally, this young man was Bai Xiaofei! As soon as the boys heard it, they all gathered and rushed to Sti Restaurant. Even Zhou Ze¡ªwho was now Bai Xiaofei¡¯s buddy¡ªgot the news and went there immediately. At Sti Restaurant, Wang Ling had pped Chen Hao three times. ¡°Hmph! You dare to bully our Liao Hong? I will kill you!¡± Wang Ling wasn¡¯t satisfied yet. As she was about to give her fourth p, she heard a loud cry. ¡°Damn, Young Master Bai is here with so many people!¡± The crowd blocking the entrance of the western restaurant immediately dispersed as they saw around one to two hundred peopleing this way. ¡°Oh! Bai Xiaofei is here too?! Haha, they are so thoughtful. They havee to support me because they know that I¡¯m teaching someone a lesson here!¡± Liao Hong stood up immediately when she saw Bai Xiaofei. This was a sign of respect, she supposed. Although she was not in a gang with Bai Xiaofei, Bai Xiaofei was quite powerful in Jiang Nan College as well, so their rtionship was quite good. However, when Liao Hong wanted to say hello to Bai Xiaofei who rushed into the restaurant, she heard him say, ¡°Damn it! Smash everything and beat up all those who are standing!¡± A group of people rushed in and started smashing. Those who were holding down Chen Hao were knocked out. Even the tables and chairs in the restaurant were badly smashed. As for the men and women standing beside Liao Hong, no doubt, they were all being beaten up violently! Liao Hong almost went crazy. ¡°F*ck! Bao Xiaofei! Are you mad? I am Liao Hong! Why are you hitting my people?¡± Liao Hong''s eyes widened. p! Bai Xiaofei went up and pped Liao Hong''s face. ¡°Bi*ch, you are the one I want to hit!¡± After he had pped her, Bai Xiaofei rushed towards Chen Hao and asked, ¡°C-C-Chen Hao, are you alright?¡± Bai Xiaofei was breaking out in cold sweat. Chen Hao rubbed his face which had been pped three times. Anger boiled in his stomach. If Bai Xiaofei hadn¡¯te today, he couldn¡¯t imagine how these people would have tortured him! This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Luckily he came in time! ¡°Chen Hao, what should I do with this woman that hit you just now?¡± Zhou Ze hade to Chen Hao with Wang Ling''s hair in his hands. It was really crazy! Just think about it. Zhou Ze was very famous in school, and of course, so was Bai Xiaofei. Now, they had brought so many people to save Chen Hao. What was their rtionship? Besides, it was obvious now that they were at a disadvantage. ¡°Why do you even need my permission for? Continue with the beating!¡± Bai Xiaofei fumed. Zhou Ze took Wang Ling to the side and ordered his man to start pping her. ¡°You are crazy, Bai Xiaofei! Are you sure you want to be on bad terms with me today because of these two poor losers?¡± Liao Hong didn''t expect that the situation would be reversed so suddenly. How dared this Bai Xiaofei treat her this way? Bai Xiaofei sneered, ¡°Haha, what can you do with it? You are just a call girl of Haishan Group!¡± ¡°F*ck! How dare you humiliate me?¡± p! Liao Hong was furious and she wanted to rush forward to fight with Bai Xiaofei. However, she was pped to the ground by him. There was even blooding out from her mouth. She really didn¡¯t understand. What was wrong with Bai Xiaofei today? Besides, Liao Hong couldn''t stand looking at those eyes from the public who were staring at her in disbelief. Bai Xiaofei was about to continue pping her, when suddenly, Liao Hong¡¯s mobile phone rang. The number showed that it was from Da Tou. Liao Hong''s eyes lit up and she immediately picked up the phone. ¡°Da Tou,e quickly! If you are not here, your young master will never see me again!¡± Liao Hong cried. ¡°Yes, Miss Liao, someone had called me just now. Can you please pass the phone to Young Master Bai now?¡± Da Tou said coldly. F*ck that! Liao Hong directly pressed the handsfree button. Da Tou said, ¡°Hello, Young Master Bai! Is there any misunderstanding here? You clearly knew whose woman Miss Liao is!¡± ¡°I don''t care about Xu Wei''s rtionship with her. Let me tell you, even if it is Xu Haishan''s woman today, I''ll still beat her as well!¡± Funny! For Bai Xiaofei and those who clearly knew how powerful Chen Hao¡¯s sister, Chen Xiao was, of course they knew what they should do right now! To be blunt, if CEO Chen Xiao was here, it would not end easily with just a beating! ¡°Well, it seems that the Jin Ling Commercial Group really doesn''t respect the Haishan Group at all? Young Master Bai, although the Jin Ling business is really powerful, it has only been a decade since it was founded. You can ask your father about this as well. Now look at our Haishan Group. How long has it been an influential authority in Jin Ling now? Beating Young Master Xu¡¯s woman like this is equivalent to throwing eggs at Young Master Xu¡¯s face!¡± Da Tou threatened with each word he said. ¡°Hehe, Bai Xiaofei, my boyfriend is Xu Wei. He ising back from overseas soon. Once he knows that I have been beaten, no matter how powerful your family business in Jin Ling is, you still have to show my boyfriend some respect. Your father is only working with Li Zhenguo. Even if Li Zhenguo wants to help you, he has to weigh the advantages and disadvantages.¡± ¡°Haha!¡± At that moment, Liao Hong became very bold. As for this, Bai Xiaofei couldn¡¯t make any decision, so he looked at Chen Hao. If Chen Hao ordered them to fight, then there wouldn¡¯t be any problem. There was nothing to be afraid of! However, Chen Hao didn¡¯t say anything. He took a taser from one of the men, walked towards Liao Hong and stunned her. Zap! With a sound, Liao Hong''s whole body trembled and immediately, she was lying on the ground, twitching. There were some things that must be tolerated and it would be better for him to take a step back. But, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t stand to hear that this woman was threatening him with the Haishan Group. It¡¯s them again! Last time, he was almost maimed by Xu Dayuan. To be honest, he hadn''tpletely swallowed his anger yet. Today, he was humiliated again by Liao Hong. If he still swallowed his anger this time, it would be better for him to just meet his end! Anyway, they had already been on bad terms with Haishan Group since the grudge he had with Xu Dayuan before this¡­ After they were done with the beating, Chen Hao left with Su Ziyue and the rest. It was obvious they couldn''t continue their lunch. As for the crowd, all of them went silent. ¡°Damn! That guy named Chen Hao looks like a mere sore loser but he¡¯s so ferocious! Even Bai Xiaofei followed his order!¡± ¡°Yes, beats me! And I heard that Zhou Ze¡¯s family is quite rich too. Look at the way he fought so hard for a loser like Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Are you guys stupid? You are still calling Chen Hao a loser? Don''t you see what''s going on? What''s hisst name?¡± ¡°Of course hisst name is Chen! Sh*t! Don''t tell me he is¡­?¡± Chapter 166 Being Hired as the Driver Chapter 166 Being Hired as the Driver Chen Hao had vented all his spleen while beating them up earlier. He had never felt this satisfied before. Although he had been keeping a low-profile all this time, he understood that this incident was not as simple as it seemed. Hence, he didn¡¯t n to let this matter rest so easily. He would find time to meet Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing to discuss how to solve this matter. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. After expressing his gratitude to Bai Xiaofei and Lin Yiyi who rushed to the scene to rescue him, Chen Hao allowed them to go back first. Not only was Su Ziyue petrified by the scene today, she was badly humiliated too. Therefore, she was down in the dumps, and her clothes were full of creases after being ripped by Liao Hong and her people. Chen Hao felt sorry as he looked at her. Sigh, after all, the incident that put Su Ziyue through trouble today was mainly because of me. ¡°Let¡¯s go buy you some new clothes!¡± Chen Hao smiled and said. ¡°No, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯m really fine, Chen Hao!¡± She lowered her head as she said that. ¡°We have to. After all, I¡¯m the one who put you in trouble just now. Moreover, it¡¯s your birthday today!¡± Chen Hao grabbed her hand, hailed a cab and brought her to an upper ss retail mall. The clothes sold there were very fashionable and of good quality. There, he bought two new pieces of clothing for Su Ziyue, andforted her, calming her down, at the same time. Chen Hao then assured her that the incident happened today would never ur again. As he was about to leave after paying at the counter, a beautiful female voice stopped Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, is that you?¡± It was obvious that the girl was very surprised to see him. ¡°Xiaonan!¡± Chen Hao turned and saw that the girl was Ma Xiaonan. Beside her stood three other girls. They were Han Siyu, Du Yue andstly Meng Cairu! Chen Hao was not too surprised to see them with Ma Xiaonan. Two days ago, Han Siyu had encountered trouble at Imperial KTV. At that time, everyone was in panic except Ma Xiaonan. She was the only one who remained calm and advised Han Siyu not to act hastily. As a matter of fact, Ma Xiaonan was right, Jiu Jiang was indeed not a simple person. That was why Han Siyu felt that she needed a friend like Ma Xiaonan, who was always calm and steady, to advise her during critical moments like this. As for Du Yue, Han Siyu knew that Du Yue had only got close to her because of her poprity. It was clear that Han Siyu felt morefortable being around Ma Xiaonan instead of Du Yue. Around a few days ago, Ma Xiaonan even told Chen Hao that she had started helping out at Han Siyu''s studio. Meanwhile, Han Siyu and Meng Cairu had noticed Chen Hao as well. But both of them did not greet him. They only took a quick nce at Chen Hao before shifting their gaze to Su Ziyue and scanned her from head to toe. ¡°Chen Hao, who is she? She¡¯s pretty! Introduce her to us!¡± Ma Xiaonan smiled mischievously. ¡°This is my friend, Su Ziyue. Ziyue, this is the buddy whom I had always mentioned, Ma Xiaonan. She is quite a bold and free-spirited girl!¡± Chen Hao introduced briefly. ¡°Hello! Nice to meet you.¡± Although Su Ziyue was feeling down from the incident earlier, she happily shook hands with Ma Xiaonan, whom Chen Hao so often mentioned. Chen Hao did not want to stay to chat with Han Siyu and the others. And so, he left with Su Ziyue after bidding goodbye to Ma Xiaonan. After all, Su Ziyue was still dejected by the incident that happened just an hour ago. ¡°Damn it! I had enough of this Chen Hao! Didn¡¯t he see that Siyu and our counselor were here as well? You guys saw it too right? Hepletely ignored us!¡± Du Yueined in a disgruntled manner. Du Yue felt that a person like Chen Hao should have been polite and behave in a respectful manner. However, hepletely disregarded them! This made Du Yue''s blood boil. Both Han Siyu and Meng Cairu didn¡¯t expect Chen Hao to be so daring, and to actually treat them in such a manner. Since they didn''t greet him, he decided to ignore them too. How wilful of him! ¡°Hmph! Why should I be bothered by a loser?¡± Han Siyu said angrily. ¡°Rx guys, enough with the criticizing. I noticed he seemed slightly off earlier. I guess he was probably worrying about something else and forgot to greet you guys!¡± Ma Xiaonan quickly exined. ¡°Xiaonan, you don¡¯t have to defend him. Whatever! He can behave however he wants. Haha! Anyways, since we¡¯re going to the Hot Spring Viter, let¡¯s hurry up and buy some new dresses to change into! Don''t you think so, Siyu?¡± Du Yue¡¯s anger dissipated at the thought of visiting the Hot Spring Vi which she had longed to go for a long time. The management executives of Han Siyu¡¯spany were having a gathering at the Hot Spring Vi today. Since Han Siyu, the top-rated broadcaster in thepany, was based in Jin Ling, she was naturally invited and allowed to bring a few guests along. Since SameCity Live Streaming app had been upgraded into the nationwide Extraordinary Live Streaming app, the standards of thepany had been raised substantially. Therefore, the ce of the gathering was certainly streets aheadpared to the ce they wentst time. Just then, Ma Xiaonan¡¯s phone rang suddenly. She picked up the call and ended it after nodding her head twice. She then turned to Han Siyu and said anxiously, ¡°Siyu, thepany that we have rented the car from has just called and said that the driver has left for an emergency. All of the drivers in thepany have been booked for a wedding ceremony. We don¡¯t have a driver to drive the Mercedes Benz G500 that we have rented. He told us to find a recement driver ourselves!¡± ¡°What the heck! The driver is not avable? Damn it! Why does the emergency have to happen at this time? How can I find a driver at thest minute? Besides, I¡¯ve picked the handsome one to be our driver. I had to be well-prepared in order to look good while attending this kind of exclusive gathering!¡± Han Siyu said irritatingly. Yikes! Why is it so difficult for things to go right? ¡°That¡¯s right. The only one who knows how to drive among us is our tutor. But she is going as a guest so she shouldn¡¯t be the one who drives us there. Furthermore, she''s our counselor and we can''t let her be our driver!¡± Du Yue said. ¡°Hey, I just remembered that Chen Hao has a driving license. He knows how to drive. Why don¡¯t we ask him to be our driver? He had also been to the Hot Spring Vi before!¡± Ma Xiaonan said. In fact, Ma Xiaonan had said that intentionally. A while ago, Chen Hao seemed to turn rich overnight and started to spend his money profligately. However, he went idle soon after that. Everyone in his ss knew that he had almost finished spending all his lottery money. But by the end of that, Chen Hao had adopted the habit of wasteful spending in order to preserve his pride. Ma Xiaonan had been observing him all this time. The sry Han Siyu paid for the driver, who was going to drive them in the Mercedes Benz G500, was 5,000. If Chen Hao could be the driver, he could have earned 5,000 within a few hours in the afternoon. How great would that be? ¡°No way! Xiaonan, didn¡¯t you hear? Siyu said that the driver must be a handsome one. Chen Hao is a shabby person so just forget about him!¡± Du Yue objected once she heard the suggestion. ¡°Hmm¡­ Actually, I think Xiaonan¡¯s suggestion is somewhat practical. Chen Hao might seem shabby, but he is quite a handsomed. Haha! After all, our ex-roommate Yang Xia wasn''t blind right? After giving him a makeover, I''m sure Chen Hao will look splendid as our driver!¡± Han Siyu raised her brow and agreed to Xiaonan¡¯s idea. ¡°Yes, just let him have a try. He really does know how to drive!¡± Meng Cairu had no objections as well. ¡°Alright then. Xiaonan, call Chen Hao and tell him I¡¯m hiring him as our driver!¡± Chapter 167 Important Big News Chapter 167 Important Big News ¡°Chen Hao, are you busy this afternoon?¡± Ma Xiaonan asked when the call was picked up. ¡°Me? No, I¡¯m not.¡± At that moment, Chen Hao was sending Su Ziyue to ss, and he had no ns after. ¡°Oh, I''ve got a part-time job for you. You can earn 5,000 a day and the job is simple. You just have to be Han Siyu¡¯s driver. I know you''re not short of money, but it''s better to earn more right? So, what do you think?¡± Ma Xiaonan asked with concern. Of course, she knew that Chen Hao had no money. The reason Ma Xiaonan did this was because she knew that Chen Hao was very prideful, to the extent of pretending at times. In spite of that, Chen Hao was still her best buddy and their friendship remained unchanged. In fact, as soon as Chen Hao heard Han Siyu''s name, he wanted to refuse the offer. Especially today, the ones following Han Siyu were Du Yue and Meng Cairu. The two chirping women would be absolutely annoying. But Chen Hao couldn¡¯t reject Ma Xiaonan''s kindness. He hesitated before nodding his head and epted the job for Ma Xiaonan¡¯s sake. ¡°Great! Then you can take a cab here so that we can buy you some clothes to dress you up!¡± Ma Xiaonan smiled happily. Chen Hao smiled helplessly and took a cab back. The girls took Chen Hao with them and bought him a suit and a pair of leather shoes which cost around 2,000 for the whole set. They then made Chen Hao put them on right away. Unexpectedly, even Han Siyu who had always been apathetic, thought that he looked really handsome after putting on the suit. Just when they were about to praise Chen Hao, they saw him carefully fold his old clothes, and it seemed like he wanted to carry it around with him. Damn it, what a pity that he couldn¡¯t get rid of his loser traits. ¡°Chen Hao, you have to appreciate these expensive clothes. The clothes that you are wearing today plus the part time fee for being a driver adds up to about 7,000 already!¡± Meng Cairu said with her arms crossed. ¡°Yes, I know that!¡± Chen Hao just smiled bitterly and nodded. Just then, Ma Xiaonan saw the phone Chen Hao was holding and asked curiously, ¡°Eh? Chen Hao, is this your new phone?¡± ¡°Yes, I bought it a few days ago!¡± Chen Hao nodded. "Wow, it looks so ssy. Show it to me!" Du Yue also nced at Chen Hao''s phone and immediately became interested. Whether Chen Hao agreed to it or not, they snatched the phone from him. ¡°Oh my God, you guys, look! This is a branded phone. It''s newlyunched and the price is 28,888! Chen Hao, how did you get this kind of phone?¡± Du Yue screamed in excitement when she saw the mobile phone. The most expensive phone she had ever used cost only over 7000, and she had to pay by instalments! Whereas, the poorest guy in the ss was able to buy a phone which cost at least four of hers? ¡°Indeed!¡± Han Siyu also nced at it and said with surprise. Meng Cairu said, ¡°Chen Hao, I don''t know why you like to show off so much now. Who do you think you are to use such an expensive phone? Although Han Siyu is so sessful now, she only used a phone that cost around 10,000. You need to understand, you have neither a career nor a job. Why would you spend your money imprudently? I have been advising you all this time!¡± Meng Cairu refuted as if she was offended. Only because she was reluctant to ept the fact that he could afford an expensive phone. Just a moment ago, she had just lectured him and asked him to appreciate the suit which cost 2,000. She felt embarrassed when Chen Hao showed her his phone that cost almost 30,000. ¡°That''s right. Why do you have to buy such an expensive one? You want to act like those rich kids too? Hmph, some people just like to show off. Chen Hao, do you know, only those who are poor would deliberately use expensive ones. Even the real rich people would only use the cheap ones!" Since Du Yue had also been embarrassed, naturally she wanted to regain herself by lecturing Chen Hao too. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right!¡± Chen Hao only nodded his head. Chen Hao couldn''t care less about what they were saying. After that, the girls brought Chen Hao to the car rentalpany, and they took off to the Hot Spring Vi in a Mercedes Benz G500. ording to the n, Chen Hao would have to open the door dutifully for Han Siyu to get down from the car. Once the girls got off, they would then receive a warm wee from the Hot Spring Vi. As for the Hot Spring Vi, why would they treat the people from the Extraordinary Live Streaming Company like this? It was very simple. Although both the Extraordinary Live Streaming App and the Yunmeng Mountain Project were not considered as huge projects, the person who invested in these projects was very powerful. Zhao Zixing had prepared a grand reception with the intention to impress Chen Hao. ¡°That''s all Chen Hao, you can drive the car to the parking lot and wait for us. You don''t have to take part in such an asion, otherwise you will make a fool of yourself! As for dinner, if you can''t wait, just go out and buy a loaf of bread since you''re not used to such avish meal anyway.¡± Han Siyu turned her head to Chen Hao while she posed to let the staff take her pictures. Obviously, Han Siyu was afraid that she would be disgraced once Chen Hao started to talk. F*ck! You will regret it one day! Chen Hao really had enough of Han Siyu. He scolded in his heart, Sh*t! I also have my self-esteem! Why does she despise me to this extent? Since he couldn¡¯t expose his identity now, Chen Hao sucked it up and drove the car to the parking lot. Of course, Chen Hao would not wait there foolishly. On the way here, he had nned to find Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing to discuss the conflicts he had with the Haishan Group. Zhao Zixing was still reading the newspaper when Chen Hao reached his office. When he saw Chen Hao, Zhao Zixing stood up immediately in surprise. Soon after, Li Zhenguo had also arrived hurriedly. Chen Hao brought up the recent events, while the both talked about what they knew about the Haishan Group. Generally speaking, the Haishan Group was a downright family-run underworld force before its establishment. They were very notorious in Jin Ling. Later on, as he had acquired more money, Xu Haishan then established a group and began to clean up their reputation. However, no matter how much they tried to be well-reputed, Chen Hao had seen some of the tricks up N?velDrama.Org is the owner. their sleeves. Just take Xu Chao and Xu Nan as an example. The Xu family was destroyedpletely after they had beaten Xu Wei. Not only that, Xu Dayuan had many men working for him. The reason why Li Zhenguo treated them with respect before was also because of their background. As the saying went, ''harmony makes money''. After all, they had many men under the Haishan Group. Furthermore, the rtionship between them and the underground forces in Jin Ling were too Chen Hao almost understood everything after learning of their history. At this time, his phone rang. It was from his sister Chen Xiao, who hadn¡¯t contacted him for almost half a month. Chen Xiao asked, ¡°What are you doing, Chen Hao?¡± Chen Hao thought that it would be better to not tell his sister about the matter they were discussing. He said, ¡°Nothing, I am having dinner with Li Zhengguo and Zhao Zixing!¡± No matter what, since his sister handed him the Jin Ling Commercial Street in the hope to train him, it would be a waste of effort if he sought his sister¡¯s help to solve the problem. ¡°I see. I''m calling to tell you that I''ll be dropping by Jin Ling in another three days. I¡¯ming to see my baby brother. Haha!¡± ¡°Huh? You areing to Jin Ling?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! And I¡¯m bringing some big news for you!¡± Chapter 168 Where Are We Going? Chapter 168 Where Are We Going? ¡°What big news?¡± Chen Hao was stunned but excited as soon as he heard his sister wasing to visit him. It had been a year since he met her after she had gone to work overseas with his parents in order to pay off the debt. Of course, working overseas to pay off the debt was just a lie to deceive him. ¡°Haha, you¡¯ll find out then. I have to go now. Enjoy your meal!¡± Toot¡­ Chen Xiao ended the call after saying that. Meanwhile, Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing¡¯s faces turned pale slightly and asked, ¡°Young Master Chen, CEO Chen Xiao ising?¡± ¡°Yes. She ising to Jin Ling three days from now. I wonder why!¡± Chen Hao said. He nced at them and noticed the frightened expression on their faces. They seemed to be afraid of his sister. After that, the three of them had their lunch as they chatted away. And so, several hours had passed. ¡°Damn, Chen Hao, where are you?¡± At this time, Han Siyu called Chen Hao''s phone. She sounded impatient. Chen Hao nced at his watch and realized it was already 8 o¡¯clock at night. There was a rule in the Hot Spring Vi¡ªmost asions had to end before night to make sure that it was not too noisy. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t have been the incident that happenedst time where Chen Hao was beaten up when he entered the hot spring pool by mistake as he didn¡¯t know the female celebrity was having a bath there. Thus, the same rule probably applied as well to the big gathering that Han Siyu attended. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m driving there now!¡± After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao drove the car to fetch Han Siyu and the others. ¡°Damn, Chen Hao, did you do it purposely? What did I tell you just now? I asked you to get ready and park the car at the entrance when the gathering is almost to an end. And look what happened! You didn''t show up!¡± Han Siyue scolded after getting into the car. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it intentionally. Since you won''t allow me to enter the vi, how would I know when the gathering was going to end?¡± Chen Hao said helplessly. ¡°Y-y-you! Why are you talking back to Siyu? Your pay today should be deducted by half!¡± Du Yue directly pointed out. ¡°Sigh, you¡¯re hopeless even when ites to the simplest task!¡± Han Siyu took a deep breath to let out her anger and this made her breasts look even bigger. At the time when the gathering ended, most of the drivers were waiting for the executives in their cars in front of the entrance. As for her, the driver was not in sight even after she walked to the car. Damn, it was so embarrassing! ¡°I¡¯ll send you guys back to college and return the carter,¡± Chen Hao said nonchntly. ¡°Go back to college? Bullsh*t. We haven¡¯t had enough fun today. We want to go to Imperial KTV to sing for the whole night! Am I right, Siyu?¡± In fact, they did have a lot of fun today as they had finally visited the Hot Spring Vi. However, both Du Yue and Meng Cairu still felt that they hadn¡¯t enjoyed enough. Especially Meng Cairu, there were many managers and executives who came to have a toast with her earlier during the gathering. They had even wanted to exchange their WeChat ID with hers. If this were in the past, Meng Cairu would have been happily willing to. However, as she had the Ordinary Guy in her heart now, she refused them politely. Though deep down, she was still pretty thrilled. ¡°Ok, drop us off at Imperial KTV before you return the car,¡± Meng Cairu said indifferently. Chen Hao followed their instructions and took a cab back to college after returning the car. ¡°Sigh. What kind of girl will ept a guy like Chen Hao?¡± The girls were drinking and chatting while listening to music. They had no topic to talk about, so naturally, they brought up Chen Hao. ¡°Haha! To be honest, a guy like him will never get a girlfriend. When he gets a wifeter on, I¡¯m sure that she wouldn''t be pretty. And even if he gets a pretty woman as his wife by luck, it might be the second marriage for the woman. The reason is obvious. Not only does he not have any money, he''s also a loser!¡± Han Siyu had quite a few drinks, hence, her words became bolder. ¡°That''s not true, Chen Hao has a girlfriend actually. You might not know that, but his girlfriend from the Broadcasting Department is very pretty!¡± Ma Xiaonan was not very pleased to hear them talking bad about Chen Hao. ¡°Pfff, his ex-girlfriend Yang Xia is beautiful too. What happened to them then?¡± Du Yueughed in disdain. ¡°Oh ya, Siyu, what kind of guys are you looking for?¡± Du Yue started the conversation. ¡°Well, surely he has to be excellent. He must be handsome, and able to support me financially. He also has to be a young master from a rich family. He must have good temperament, and he must be willing to spend money on me. Not only that¡­¡± ¡°Oh dear. Why don¡¯t you just say that the Ordinary Guy is your ideal man?¡± Du Yueughed buoyantly. Meng Cairu who was sitting beside them looked unhappy. In fact, she was jealous. ¡°Counselor, how about you? What are your criterias to find a husband?¡± Du Yue asked again. ¡°I want to find a mature and low-profile man. He doesn¡¯t have to be very handsome as long as he has his own charms! Of course he needs to be rich too, since we women will be depending on them for the rest of our lives.¡± Meng Cairu smiled gently. ¡°Hahaha, then your standards are equivalent to that of the Ordinary Guy. He is the typical mature and low-key man. By the way, do you think he would be handsome? What if he actually looks hideous?¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Meng Cairu and Han Siyu responded to Du Yue in unison. Right after, Han Siyu looked at Meng Cairu with a weird gaze. From Meng Cairu¡¯s anxious reaction just now, Han Siyu seemed to realize something. In order to find out which ss the Ordinary Guy was studying in, Han Siyu had asked for Meng Cairu¡¯s help by giving her his Wechat ID before this. She didn¡¯t think much about it at that time. But looking at the things that happenedtely, Han Siyu sensed something fishy. Up until a moment ago, Meng Cairu was so nervous when answering Du Yue¡¯s question. Don¡¯t tell me¡­ that she had fallen in love with Ordinary Guy too? ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Women were the most selfish living creatures in the world. Especially if they were fighting over a young master like Ordinary Guy. Everyone had known how excellent he was. He was capable of getting everyone in the Extraordinary Live Streaming Company to have the gathering at the Hot Spring Vi. And there was a high possibility that the Ordinary Guy was the mysterious Young Master Chen too! Who wouldn''t wish for this kind of man to be theirs? I must have been careless about it¡­ Han Siyu thought. No one continued the conversation after that as the atmosphere turned slightly awkward. Just then, the door of the room opened. ¡°Is Miss Meng Cairu here?¡± asked a bodyguard-looking man in a ck suit and an earpiece. ¡°That''s me. Is there anything?¡± Meng Cairu responded to him. ¡°Miss Meng, I am Manager Li Feihong¡¯s driver. He has informed me to invite the four of you to Homecook Kitchen Restaurant to have a meal. He has booked a table there to make a formal apology to all of you. I was sent here to fetch you guys there!¡± said the bodyguard. ¡°Oh, sure!¡± Meng Cairu nodded her head. Although she was surprised, she didn¡¯t think much about it. It seems like Li Feihong respects me a lot, and he must be sorry for the things that happened to mest time. After all, he is the subordinate of Young Master Chen and he even knows about my special rtionship with the young master. Speaking of which, there was an important thing which Meng Cairu actually hadn¡¯t told Han Siyu¡ªthe Ordinary Guy was indeed Young Master Chen. The reason Li Feihong knew they were here in Imperial KTV was because this ce was his territory. After pondering about it, Meng Cairu decided that she would give Li Feihong a call to show her gratitude. However, his line was busy. ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up. Homecook Kitchen Restaurant is not too far from here. It¡¯s not good to make Manager Li wait for us long.¡± Du Yue said at this time. Meng Cairu also nodded her head. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go now. Get the car!¡± Meng Cairu spoke to the driver and left with him instantly. A ck Rolls-Royce was waiting at the entrance. They went into the car and left for the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant which was just located at the Jin Ling Commercial Street. Although the whole street was really huge, they soon arrived there within seven minutes. However, the driver didn¡¯t stop the car. Instead, he continued driving all the way out of themercial street and headed west. ¡°Huh? We¡¯ve passed the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant!¡± Du Yue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, eximed. ¡°Oh, I know. We¡¯re not going to this branch. Our Commercial Group has justunched a new branch in the West City. We¡¯re going to that newly opened branch!¡± the bodyguard in ck replied. But just as he finished his words, an evil grin appeared on his face¡­ Chapter 169 Something Might Have Happened Chapter 169 Something Might Have Happened ¡°When did they open? Why haven''t I heard of it?¡± Meng Cairu started sobering up and asked with a hint of suspicion. Earlier at Li Feihong¡¯s territory, he mentioned that Li Feihong had invited them to dine in at Homecook Kitchen Restaurant, something about apologizing. Meng Cairu did not think too much about it. Moreover, the ck Rolls-Royce gave her a familiar feeling that she couldn''t ce. And that was why she came. However, Meng Cairu could not help but feel uneasy when the driver mentioned about heading to West City. The West City were mostly factory areas, and there were almost no recreational ces there. Why would Homecook Kitchen Restaurant set up a new branch at that kind of ce? ¡°Theyunched just a few days ago and I heard the food there tastes great! Moreover, when I was on the way, General Manager Li also reminded me to inform you guys that he¡¯s sorry about the improper treatmentst time at Imperial KTV. So, this time, a special feast will be prepared!¡± the driver said. ¡°If so then why wouldn¡¯t General Manager Li call to inform us earlier?¡± Han Siyu questioned. ¡°Haha, how would I know? When we reach, you guys can ask Li Feihong yourselves!¡± The driver ¡°Why would you call General Manager Li by his name?¡± Meng Cairu was sure that there was something not right about the driver. The driver heard her but only responded with awkwardughter. Suddenly, the car started speeding up. Then, it took a big turn and went straight onto the highway toward the West City. Due to it being a factory area, there weren''t many cars around; just street lights illuminating the road. Meng Cairu¡¯s gut feeling told her that something wasn¡¯t right. ¡°Hey mister, I don¡¯t feel really good right now so I don¡¯t think we can make it today. How about you just send us back now?¡± That won¡¯t do! Something felt off about this. If the driver didn¡¯t mention that they were going to the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant on Jin Ling Commercial Street, the few of them wouldn¡¯t have entered the car in the first ce. Moreover, the driver started speeding and left Jin Ling Commercial Street before any of them could even question him. On top of that, the driver¡¯s behavior is also very erratic. Meng Cairu started worrying. ¡°Come on! Since we are reaching already, let''s just go take a look!¡± The driver chuckled and insisted. ¡°No! I said no! Do you hear me? We want to get down now! I want you to stop the car right now!¡± Han Siyu instructed coldly. The driver pointed to the rearview mirror and said, ¡°I can¡¯t possibly stop now! Look! There¡¯s a car behind us, if I slow down now, the car will ram into us! Moreover, General Manager Li is waiting for you guys there already!¡± ¡°Hmph! I will talk to General Manager Li myself!¡± After saying that, Meng Cairu tried calling General Manager Li again. However, the phone call was still unable to get through. How could this be? Boom! Just then, the driver abruptly jerked the steering wheel. The car drifted and went down the slope next to the side of the road. Meng Cairu and the others felt sick and dizzy from the sudden movement of the car. ¡°We are not even going to Homecook Kitchen Restaurant! Who are you?!¡± Meng Cairu roared in anger. However, the driver ignored her. He proceeded to press on his ear piece and said, ¡°Roger, roger. The targets are in the car. I''ve also got two more beautiful girls here with me. We have reached. Over!¡± ¡°Who exactly are you? Are you kidnapping us?!¡± Du Yue, who sat in the front passenger seat was terrified. It looked like the driver was driving toward some abandoned buildings. This reminded her of scenes from the movies. ¡°God damn it! Stop the car! I said stop the car right now!¡± Du Yue pulled on the driver¡¯s arm in a crazed manner. Pak! A sharp sound echoed as the driver hit Du Yue across her face, leaving her dishevelled and knocked out in her seat. The driver finally stopped the car. Then, four to five guys came out from the car behind while three others came out from the abandoned building. They forcefully dragged Meng Cairu and others out of the car before they could even react. This was a kidnapping, a premeditated one! ¡°Hello? We''re being kidnapped! Please help us! We are at¡ª¡± Right at this moment, Ma Xiaonan shouted at her phone. However, before she could even finish her sentence, one of the bodyguards snatched Ma Xiaonan¡¯s phone before smashing it on the ground. What came after was a p to Ma Xiaonan¡¯s face. ¡°What the f*ck, how dare you call someone? Third bro, is this how you do your job? Confiscate all their phones now!¡± ¡°Give it up! Hand it over now!¡± With all the bodyguards on the move, even the phone that Han Siyu hid to call for help was confiscated before she could even react. ¡°Hmph! I want all of them tied up before the boss gives the next order!¡± As soon as the order was given, Meng Cairu and the rest were tied onto chairs in the abandoned building. ¡°Haha, all of them are so pretty! Maybe if the boss ns to have some fun today, he might share them with us too!¡± one of the bodyguards eximed. ¡°Let¡¯s go brothers, we have to go down to greet the boss now. You! You! and You! I want the three of you to stay here to watch guard. You better watch them closely before the boss reaches. If I catch any of you doing anything to them, the boss will slice off your p*nises!¡± The three bodyguards nodded immediately. The others started making their way down. However, the three bodyguards couldn¡¯t resist the beauty of the girls and went to y games by the entrance in order to suppress their lust. ¡°Xiaonan, Xiaonan, did your phone call get through just now? Siyu what about you?¡± Meng Cairu asked, her face as pale as a ghost. Han Siyu shook her head tearfully. ¡°I didn¡¯t, they took my phone before I managed to make a call. Miss Meng, what should we do now? I am an online celebrity, they can¡¯t do those things to me! Sob sob!¡±. Du Yue, whose busted lip was bleeding, started blubbering out of fear as well. It didn¡¯t matter how calm and collected a girl usually was, in a situation like this¡ªit was hard not to be terrified. ¡°Miss Meng, I am not sure whether my call was connected, but I think it was? Which was why I shouted earlier,¡± Ma Xiaonan definitely sounded much more collected than the others. However, she was also breathing heavily. ¡°What? Who did you call?¡± It was as if everyone saw a lifeline. To be honest, all of these girls were college students after all. They did have some sort of rationality. They sensed something was wrong when the bodyguard hit Du Yue and fixed his attention on Meng Cairu. Han Siyu and Ma Xiaonan immediately tried to call for help using their phones. In reality, Ma Xiaonan had reacted the fastest. She had sensed something was wrong when the car started going off the slope and had started calling as soon as it happened. Although undeniably, everyone had their hopes on Li Feihong when Meng Cairu tried to reach out for him on the phone. Who would have expected that the phone call couldn¡¯t get through several times. ¡°I called Chen Hao!¡± Chen Hao¡¯s contact was the first that popped out when Ma Xiaonan turned on her phone. She couldn''t care less to nitpick on who to call especially when the situation was so urgent. ¡°What? You called Chen Hao?¡± Meng Cairu was disappointed. ¡°Why did you call that useless loser? What can he do with his pig brain?!¡± Han Siyu tensed up and started cursing. ¡°It¡¯s all over! I don¡¯t want to die!¡± Du Yue cried out. ¡°Stop whining already! Six! Get some tape over here and shut them up! There will be plenty of chances for you guys to shout all you wantter! Hahaha!¡± The bodyguardughed lustfully. At the same time. At the boy¡¯s dorm. Chen Hao was still holding his phone in shock. Just three minutes ago, Ma Xiaonan gave him a call. It rang for awhile because Chen Hao was still showering. However, just when the call was picked up, he was met with Ma Xiaonan¡¯s shouts. Chen Hao couldn¡¯tpletely understand what she shouted. However, he was sure it was something along the lines of ¡°I had been kidnapped!¡± before the call ended. What in the world is going on? Chen Hao tried calling back but to no avail, the phone was already turned off. When he tried to contact Meng Cairu and the others, he found out that their phones were turned off too. Were they too high from having fun? Chen Hao thought. Anyhow, he was still worried about them. Knowing that they will be at Imperial KTV, Chen Hao tried contacting Li Feihong. However, the line was busy. Chen Hao tried contacting Li Feihong again with his private number. Luckily, his call was connected in no time. ¡°Young Master Chen, have you not rest yet?¡± ¡°Nah, why was the line of your working number busy? Are you still at Imperial KTV?¡± Chen Hao asked. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Don''t even mention it, Young Master Chen. I¡¯m still checking. Just forty minutes ago, my phone was sted with phone calls every two minutes. I¡¯m now at Imperial KTV to investigate who is behind this!¡± ¡°Alright. Meng Cairu, Han Siyu and others are at Imperial KTV too. Can you go around to check on them now?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Hao waited on hold for three minutes before Li Feihong said, ¡°Young Master Chen, they were picked up by someone twenty minutes ago!¡± ¡°What? Quick! Check the surveince now. Who picked them up?¡± Chen Hao sensed that something wasn¡¯t adding up. Li Feihong was not stupid either. He knew that something might have happened. Immediately, all surveince tapes on Jin Ling Commercial Street were retrieved. Li Feihong said anxiously, ¡°Young Master Chen, from what the surveince cameras captured, they were picked up in a Rolls-Royce. However, the car had sped off to West City!¡± ¡°Sh*t! Is it possible that Ma Xiaonan and the others were actually kidnapped?¡± Sweat started forming on Chen Hao¡¯s forehead. ¡°Quick! Inform Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing to meet me at Imperial KTV, I am on my way now!¡± Chapter 170 A Rescue Operation Chapter 170 A Rescue Operation In the office of Imperial KTV. The mood was solemn. ¡°I found it, Young Master Chen! ording to our investigating team, Ma Xiaonan¡¯sst phone call came from West City¡¯s abandoned factory area!¡± Zhao Zixing eximed. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± At this moment, Li Zhenguo entered the room. ¡°We just checked in with Jin Ling¡¯s underground force as well as Haishan Real Estate Group. ording to our spy, Zhu Jiang was acting suspicious tonight. He organised a dinner at eight o''clock and invited several important bosses from Jin Ling¡¯s business circle. However, he kept leaving in between to make phone calls during the meeting. He had also ordered for the wine during the dinner to be drugged beforehand. Just ten minutes ago, his driver came to pick him up. They are now heading to the abandoned factory in West City!¡± Li Zhenguo informed them. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°General Manager Li, how are you able to retrieve so much information from the other side?¡± Li Zhenguo chuckled. ¡°Not gonna lie, Young Master Chen¡ªI nted a few people of our own at Haishan Real Estate¡¯s internal affairs to avoid them from doing any dirty tricks. One of Zhu Jiang¡¯s trusted aides is even one of ours!¡± ¡°Well, it all adds up now. Young Master Chen, we¡¯ve prepared enough manpower, let¡¯s head there now!¡± Zhao Zixing chided in. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Everyone got into their cars and rushed to the West City. Right now¡ªat the abandoned factory. ¡°Boss! Boss!¡± One after another, the bodyguards greeted. ¡°Hahaha! Where¡¯s my beautiful girl? Where is she?¡± Creepyughter echoed as Zhu Jiang headed upstairs. Han Siyu and Meng Cairu¡¯s eyes widened as they saw him. In the past, both of them had terribly offended Zhu Jiang. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. And it looked like he was here to take his revenge this time! ¡°Haha! Looks like all of you are here! Someone,e over to remove the tape from their mouths now!¡± ¡°Zhu Jiang, do you want to die? Do you know who I belong to? I will tell you now! I am Young Master Chen¡¯s woman!¡± Meng Cairu snarled. She was already clear on the rtionship she had with Young Master Chen ever since Li Feihongst told her about it. However, she had no choice but to take advantage of it to throw Zhu Jiang off guard. Though her attempt to frighten Zhu Jiang had also given Han Siyu and the others quite a shock. No wonder Li Feihong treated Miss Meng with that much respect. So it turns out that she had already reached that level of rtionship with him? Han Siyu felt jealous and ufortable. ¡°Haha! I know that you¡¯re constantly protected and aided by Young Master Chen and Li Feihong. But unfortunately, not even an emperor can save you today!¡± ¡°F*ck! You humiliated me so badly at Imperial KTVst time. I will make sure to screw you over today!¡± ¡°And you, Siyu. I¡¯ve always supported you previously and what did I get instead? Haha! You didn¡¯t expect to fall into my hands today didn''t you? And remember the p you gave me? Don''t be anxious, I will show you what I¡¯m capable of doing in no time!¡± After he finished, Zhu Jiang reached out to fondle Han Siyu¡¯s bosom as if he had been starving for days. In a moment of panic, Han Siyu bit Zhu Jiang¡¯s finger by instinct. ¡°Ouch! You b*tch!¡± Smack! He pped her. Han Siyu¡¯s lip was busted from the hit. ¡°How dare you! Whatever you¡¯re doing to us today¡ªeven if you kill us¡ªLi Feihong and the others will find out about it in no time! It won¡¯t matter how powerful you are, you¡¯ll be dead!¡± Meng Cairu cursed. ¡°Hahaha! Don¡¯t you worry. Li Feihong and the others won''t know that it was me. You want to know why? Because right now, I¡¯m supposed to be in a meeting with a few other bosses. However, I drank too much so I¡¯m now resting with them at the hotel!¡± ¡°All of those bosses will act as my alibi! Haha!¡± ¡°Someone! Set up a video camera for me¡ªI want them to be reminded of how sl*tty they are! And I¡¯ve got to video call President Xu too! He will be delighted to watch this!¡± Zhu Jiang eximed and started the video call. On the other side of the screen was President Xu, who wasying on the hospital bed all wrapped up in bandages. ¡°Hehe! President Xu, I must give you credit for your idea! Look! I''ve managed to capture four pretty girls in one go and I¡¯m gonna bed them one by one!¡± ¡°Damn! They sure are beautiful! You f*cking animal! The one that looks older, I want a close-up of her! Later on I will call for the nurse to help me satisfy myself!¡± President Xu cheered on. ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯m gonna start now! Haha!¡± After handing over the phone to one of his bodyguards to hold, Zhu Jiang threw himself over Meng Cairu. The girls, including Meng Cairu, started tearing up. All of them thought that as long as Ordinary Guy was there to protect them, they could do whatever they wanted in Jin Ling City. Yet, they did not expect to bended in a situation like this. Where they might even get raped! They were scared to death. ¡°Boss! Someone is calling you!¡± Right at this moment, one of Zhu Jiang¡¯s bodyguards called out. ¡°Reject the call. Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m busy?¡± Zhu Jiang scolded while taking his clothes off. ¡°But...¡± the bodyguard whispered something in Zhu Jiang¡¯s ear. ¡°What?¡± Cold sweat formed on Zhu Jiang¡¯s forehead. Why would he call at a time like this? However, he did not dare to reject the call. After bracing himself, he epted the call. ¡°I¡¯m sure there was a misunderstanding? How is it even possible... I¡ª¡± ¡°Stop bullsh*tting. I¡¯ve already subdued your men downstairs. I trust that you know what to do and release them now. If you defy me, I will make sure that you die tonight!¡± the person on the other end of the line instructed coldly. Zhu Jiang gulped. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed throughout the stairway. Just then, a group of men swarmed in. They were all bodyguards dressed in ck. The one leading them was a young man with white hair. His face was emotionless, and there was a long scar across his face. It was a gruesome sight. ¡°Y-You, who are you?¡± Zhu Jiang gasped in shock. This white-haired man gives off a murderous vibe. There must be something about him! Meanwhile, Meng Cairu and the others looked at this white-haired man as if he was their savior. They entrusted their lives to him at this point. ¡°Go!¡± With the white-haired man¡¯smand, all of the bodyguards took action immediately. From their swift movements, it was obvious that all of them received professional training. Zhu Jiang and his men were subdued in no time. ¡°What do you want to do? What do you want from me? I am warning you, I belong to the Haishan Real Estate Group. You better think twice before you do something to me!¡± Bang! The young man in white hair sent a kick to Zhu Jiang¡¯s face. Despite being held down by two men, Zhu Jiang still flew out from their grasp andnded on the ground. His jaw was crushed; teeth smashed into pieces all over the ground. Zhu Jiang convulsed as blood started pooling from his mouth. After a few more hits, he cked out in an instant. ¡°Hey! Mister! Are you here to save us?¡± Du Yue yelled in excitement. However, the white-haired men remained cold. He scanned them and asked, ¡°Which one of you is Miss Ma?¡± ¡°I am!¡± Ma Xiaonan spoke up. ¡°I have received orders to save you. You may now leave with us!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he helped loosen the ropes that bounded Ma Xiaonan to the chair. Right after, he proceeded to leave with Ma Xiaonan. ¡°Wait! What about us?¡± Han Siyu and the rest were dumbfounded. ¡°My apologies, I have only received instructions to save Miss Ma. They did not mention anyone else!¡± ¡°What the f*ck? Xiaonan, say something please! Please save us too!¡± Han Siyu begged anxiously. She couldn¡¯t bear to stay in this ce any longer. Meanwhile, what was happening to them right now was shown on Chen Hao¡¯sptop¡¯s screen as he sat and watched in his Maybach downstairs. Indeed, he purposely arranged for this to happen so that Han Siyu and Meng Cairu won¡¯t use his name for their advantages anymore. Looking at their terrified and worried faces, Chen Hao finally lifted his phone... Chapter 171 Another Coincidental Finding in the Car Chapter 171 Another Coincidental Finding in the Car Chen Hao had told the White Wolf to bring the three girls along. After all, he only wanted to scare them so that they would use his name less often to toot their own horns. Of course, Chen Hao had no intention of abandoning them here. The white-haired youth who was also known as White Wolf, was Zhao Zixing¡¯s top bodyguard. His position was simr to that of Li Zhenguo¡¯s subordinate, Li Feihong. Furthermore, Zhao Zixing had brought him here from Hong Kong. ¡°President Zhao, the girls areing out soon. It is not convenient for me to meet them, and I have to leave first. Has the car been arranged yet?¡± Chen Hao asked his co-driver, Zhao Zixing. ¡°It has been arranged, Young Master Chen. Let''s take off then. We will let White Wolf handle the matters here, and he will also send Miss Ma and the rest of them safely back to college.¡± At this moment, a caravan pulled up beside them. Only then did Chen Hao wipe away the sweat on his forehead. He switched over to the caravan and left the scene with Zhao Zixing. After finding out their exact location just now, Chen Hao had instructed Li Zhenguo to monitor the Haishan Commercial Group as well as the police. Meanwhile, he and Zhao Zixing quickly got into a car and drove here. He did not even have the slightest thought to get in the caravan prepared by Zhao Zixing. When he saw that Ma Xiaonan was only frightened but safe and sound, only then did Chen Hao rx ¡°Xiaonan, what happened here? Did you call for these people toe here?¡± Four youngdies emerged. At this moment, Du Yue was looking at Ma Xiaonan with a gaze of admiration. It was obvious that the rescue operation was mainly carried out to save her. Moreover, they were dumbfounded when they saw the scene before their eyes. Six Maybachs in different colors arrived at the scene. In addition to that, there were high-end MPVs as well. There were approximately ten to twenty bodyguards standing at attention downstairs. All of them N?velDrama.Org is the owner. emitted an extraordinary aura. Even if their counselor, Meng Cairu, was very influential, only a few Rolls-Royce hade to receive her thest time. In addition to that, this team of bodyguards were obviously stronger, especially the white-haired youth, who was absolutely cool and ruthless. Han Siyu and Meng Cairu were looking at Ma Xiaonan with curiosity. ¡°Huh? I don¡¯t know. I am not acquainted with them! I really don¡¯t know what is happening here,¡± said Ma Xiaonan doubtfully. ¡°Sir, may I know who ordered you to rescue us?¡± Meng Cairu couldn¡¯t help but ask. White Wolf only stared at her nkly, as if he did not hear her words. Meng Cairu then winked at Ma Xiaonan, indicating that she should try it. ¡°Sir, may I know who ordered you to rescue us? At least we can thank themter,¡± Ma Xiaonan asked. ¡°Miss Ma, my boss told me that I must not reveal his identity. Hence, I cannot reveal it even to you.¡± White Wolf was extremely respectful toward Ma Xiaonan. ¡°Ah! I remembered something. Could Chen Hao be our rescuer?¡± Du Yue suddenly eximed. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Both Han Siyu and Meng Cairu were stunned. ¡°Yes, think about it. We wanted to make a call earlier, but Ma Xiaonan was the only one who managed to. Didn¡¯t she give Chen Hao a call? So, in other words, Chen Hao was the only one who knew that we were in trouble!¡± Du Yue analyzed the situation with an expression of disbelief and reluctance to ept the situation. Not to mention Han Siyu and Meng Cairu were equally shocked as well. ¡°How could it be? Even if she did make a call to Chen Hao, did you think that he had the capabilities to hire so manypetent people? This is not logical at all!¡± said Han Siyu. Meng Cairu looked anxiously at Ma Xiaonan and asked, ¡°Xiaonan, think back carefully. Are you sure you made that call to Chen Hao? Could you have identally made a call to somebody else? Are there any powerful people or connections in your family?¡± Yes, they were indeed anxious as Meng Cairu and Han Siyu were the ones who looked down upon Chen Hao the most. If Chen Hao turned out to be somebody who had a vast amount of resources, then they would be better off dead. That was the reason why Meng Cairu suffered from insomnia for the entire night after picking up her own power bank from Li Feihong¡¯s car. ¡°It was chaotic at that time so I am not really sure whether I gave Chen Hao a call or not. However, the first number in my call history belongs to Chen Hao while the second one is a call I made to my cousin this morning. If you are talking about connections, then it might be my cousin as she is the deputy general manager of an international tradingpany. She definitely has a lot of connections,¡± said Ma Xiaonan while thinking the whole situation over. ¡°Hmm, it seems to be a usible exnation. You must have pressed the wrong button and ended up calling your cousin instead. Then, after she knew about this, she quickly sent some people over here. These people might be from the SWAT team or some underground forces,¡± said Meng Cairu in a low voice as she analyzed the situation. ¡°Did we get it right, Cold Guy?¡± Han Siyu asked White Wolf as everybody obviously agreed with this exnation. White Wolf¡¯s expression remained unchanged. At this moment, he opened the doors to the first Maybach car, which also happened to be the car that Chen Hao and Zhao Zixing were sitting in just now. Then, he said, ¡°I will personally escort you all back to college. Hop in.¡± ¡°Hmph! Since you refuse to say anything, that means our guesses were correct,¡± said Du Yue. ¡°Sir, may I borrow your phone please? I would like to give my cousin a call.¡± Ma Xiaonan hade to believe this exnation as well. ¡°Yes, Miss Ma!¡± White Wolf handed over the phone to Ma Xiaonan respectfully, then all of them got into the car. ¡°Hello, cousin, is that you? Yes, I am Xiaonan.¡± ¡°Huh? Did you really send over some people to rescue me?¡± ¡°I have already notified the Criminal Investigation Team. Have they arrived there already? Wow, that was quick. Ahem! As long as you are fine, that is all that matters. Did you know that I tried calling you just now but I just couldn¡¯t get a hold of you. Then, I tried to call your counselor and she couldn¡¯t be reached as well. I was worried that something happened to you so I sent Chen Hao a WeChat message to ask him about your whereabouts. He told me that you were kidnapped!¡± said her cousin anxiously from the other end of the line. As to how her cousin knew Chen Hao, it was because she had a wide circle of connections. In the past, when Chen Hao wanted to buy a phone or a dress for Yang Xia, the part time jobs that he did to earn the money were rmended to him by Ma Xiaonan through her cousin. Ma Xiaonan did not only rmend jobs to Chen Hao, but to Yang Hui and the rest as well. asionally, her cousin would ask Chen Hao to help her out. Hence, that was how she got Yang Hui and Chen Hao¡¯s WeChat ID. ¡°Ah? So that was what happened. We are fine now, they are sending us back to college.¡± ¡°Ok, get some rest. I will drop by tomorrow to discuss with you on some job rted matters since you are starting your internship soon.¡± ¡°Yes, I understand, cousin. Please rest early as well.¡± Since they were in the car, they could hear everything that Ma Xiaonan said. Everybody finally understood what had happened just now. It turned out that Chen Hao was the one who notified her cousin about this situation. How did that idiot, Chen Hao, know that they were being kidnapped? If he did, then why the f*ck didn¡¯t he do anything about it? If Ma Xiaonan¡¯s cousin did not happen to be looking for Xiaonan today, then all of them would have been done for! That jerk, I will strangle him when I get back! Meng Cairu cursed in her heart. ¡°Ouch! My bottom!¡± Suddenly, Han Siyu let out a soft cry as if she had been poked by something. She immediately grimaced in pain. Then, Han Siyu felt around her bottom for something before pulling out a suit. There was even a phone inside. ¡°Ah! I''m so sorry, sir! I am really sorry! I identally sat on your clothes!¡± Han Siyu said apologetically. ¡°Huh? Why does this suit look familiar?¡± Following that, Han Siyu was stunned. Chapter 172 A Safe Return, My Treat Chapter 172 A Safe Return, My Treat ¡°Huh? Aren¡¯t these the clothes that I bought for Chen Hao?¡± Han Siyu asked in surprise. Wasn¡¯t this the suit that she bought for Chen Hao at the shopping mall this afternoon? ¡°Siyu, are you sure?¡± Meng Cairu was shocked. When she took a closer look at it, she noticed that it was indeed Chen Hao¡¯s suit. How could it be? How could Chen Hao¡¯s clothes appear in a Maybach? The girls started to have doubts at the same time. Then, they stared wide-eyed at White Wolf who was currently driving the car. On the other hand, White Wolf waspletely perplexed. By right, if he followed Young Master Chen¡¯s instructions, then his identity shouldn¡¯t be exposed. However, the situation turned awkward now. ¡°This is my suit. I usually have it in the car!¡± White Wolf lied. Han Siyu and Meng Cairu looked at each other. They certainly did not believe his words as this suit cost approximately 500 to 600. Chen Hao¡¯s entire outfit was only around 2,000. Furthermore, it was apparent that the suit that White Wolf was wearing was at least 20,000 to 30,000. What the f*ck?! Could Chen Hao have gotten into this car? They werepletely shocked. ¡°This suit really belongs to me. I usually prefer a more casual style!¡± White Wolf quickly added when he saw their disbelief. His guilty expression made it more obvious that he was telling a lie. So, how could a quick-witted person like Meng Cairu and the rest of the girls miss that? Just then, Han Siyu, who did not believe a word he said, reached into the suit¡¯s pockets and brought out the phone that had been poking her bottom. When she saw it, she was even more surprised. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Chen Hao¡¯s phone?¡± Han Siyu¡¯s hands started to tremble. ¡°Let me see it!¡± Du Yue grabbed the phone and took a look at it. Indeed it is ! White Wolf thought to himself, Maybe Young Master Chen was in a rush just now, hence he left behind his suit and phone in the car. However, White Wolf was also a smart guy. After that, he decided to shut his mouth tight no matter what questions these girls threw at him. After hepleted his task of sending them back to the campus, he floored the elerator and left. ¡°What is happening here, Miss Meng? Chen Hao¡¯s suit and phone were in the car. This means that Chen Hao actually sat in that car before this. Furthermore, he was the first one to know that we were in trouble. Could it be that Chen Hao was our rescuer?¡± Du Yue was so anxious that she nearly cried. When you found out that the person you have been stepping on all the time had be way more powerful than you, wouldn¡¯t you feel distressed? Han Siyu had turned slightly pale too. If this was true, then, who could Chen Hao be? Could he be Young Master Chen? Or even Ordinary Guy? ¡°Alright, alright! Let us stop the guessing game right now, and everybody please remain calm. The suit and phone might or might not belong to Chen Hao. Another possibility is that Chen Hao might have sat in the police car when he came to rescue us. We cannot not say for sure. However, the police would surely want to keep the identity of the whistleblower a secret, hence they refused to reveal his identity to us, and they even sent Chen Hao away in advance. Don¡¯t you think that this is a usible exnation?¡± Although Meng Cairu was more mature, she still struggled to exin because this was exactly the same situation that happened thest time when she was in trouble. If anyone had to be more anxious, it should be Meng Cairu. Becausest time, Chen Hao borrowed her powerbank and left it inside a Rolls-Royce, whereas now, his suit and phone were left inside a Maybach. Could it be just a coincidence? Moreover, Chen Hao was the first person to know about these two incidents. However, Meng Cairu dared not connect the dots between the events. ¡°Ok. How about this, we''ll go to Chen Hao¡¯s dormitory personally to rify this situation,¡± said Meng Cairu. ¡°Yes, if we have a phone, we could give him a call as well!¡± Du Yue suddenly reacted. Han Siyu swayed her hands helplessly and said, ¡°It¡¯s no use. I¡¯ve tried to use the phone just now. However, it seems that the battery is dead. But, as long as we take this suit and phone to find Chen Hao, then we will know the truth.¡± At the male dormitory. Just when Chen Hao took off his clothes andy on his bed in his boxers, the doors of the dormitory flew open with a loud m. ¡°Ah!¡± Yang Hui¡¯s screams could be heard, followed by him picking up a basin to cover up his private parts. ¡°Miss Meng, Han Siyu, what are you guys doing here?¡± Yang Hui asked anxiously. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Hmph! Get up, Chen Hao!¡± Du Yue lifted up Chen Hao¡¯s nkets and dragged him out casually without giving a hoot whether he had clothes on. ¡°What do you guys want?¡± Chen Hao covered his private parts, and at the same time, was rendered speechless. These girls were truly frightening. Without saying another word, Du Yue ran to Chen Hao¡¯s bed straightaway and started rummaging around. Meanwhile, Meng Cairu and Han Siyu looked on with their arms crossed. ¡°Ah! Miss Meng, Siyu,e take a look quickly. Chen Hao¡¯s suit and phone are still here!¡± Du Yue quickly walked over with Chen Hao¡¯s suit and mobile phone. All of them were stunned. It seemed that they had been thinking too much. The suit and phone that they were holding did not belong to Chen Hao! Everybody breathed a sigh of relief after confirming their doubts. They felt as if they were released from prison. Especially Meng Cairu, who was feeling delighted now. As long as that person wasn¡¯t Chen Hao, it was enough for her. However, once she calmed down, she saw that all of the guys in Chen Hao¡¯s dormitory were staring at her in surprise. Meng Cairu cleared her throat and asked, ¡°Let me ask you this, Chen Hao, after you received Xiaonan¡¯s call for help, where did you go? And what did you do?¡± ¡°I was in a hurry to make a police report, then Xiaoyun sent me a WeChat message asking me about Xiaonan¡¯s location. So, I told her the entire story, and she immediately called for backup. I am d that you guys are alright!¡± said Chen Hao with a smile. ¡°What the h*ll! You were right, Miss Meng. We probably weren¡¯t calm enough earlier and had thought too much about it. It seems that it was indeed Xiaonan¡¯s cousin who came to our rescue!¡± yelled Du Yue excitedly. ¡°Oh my God, Chen Hao, don¡¯t you sleep in your pajamas? Get lost quickly, you are such an eyesore!¡± After ridiculing Chen Hao once again, only then did the girls finally leave. Ma Xiaonan was the only one who bothered to greet Chen Hao and told him that she was alright other than being slightly frightened, whereas the other three girls walked out immediately. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly as he thought to himself, What was going on here? Luckily he was quick to react earlier. As a matter of fact, throughout the entire process of rescuing Ma Xiaonan, Chen Hao was very anxious. While he was in the car, he had taken off his suit. Then, when he saw from the surveince footage that Ma Xiaonan and the other girls were rushing down, he quickly grabbed hisptop and went straight into the caravan. However, he had forgotten about his phone and suit. What should he do now? Chen Hao thought to himself that his identity would surely be exposed now. Luckily, he had an idea. He quickly bought a new phone and suit. And then, Chen Hao could only bet that his old phone would run out of battery soon and powered down by itself. Or else, he would be doomed if they called his number. However, judging from the situation, his phone had definitely run out of battery and went dead. Besides, Chen Hao had already cancelled the phone number just now, hence they would not have been able get a call through. There was no other exnation for it. After all, other than Ma Xiaonan, Chen Hao did not want to associate himself with them any further. So why should he reveal his identity to them? The night passed by uneventfully. It was a Saturday morning the next day. Chen Hao was going through his assignments in his dormitory at about 10 o¡¯clock when Ma Xiaonan gave him a call. As for his phone''s SIM card, Chen Hao had first cancelled it before asking Li Zhenguo to help him get a new one by using his original identification number. It wasn¡¯t a difficult process. And so, Chen Hao went to the business office early in the morning to retrieve his SIM card. ¡°Chen Hao, my cousin ising today. After she heard about the events that happened yesterday night, she had reserved a table at a restaurant near our campus. You are my savior, so you better Yang Hui and the rest of your roommates along as well¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll go. Besides, I did not really help you much.¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly. ¡°You bettere, or else I will go to your dormitory personally to invite you. Moreover, my cousin said that she wanted to thank you no matter what.¡± ¡°Ok then, we will head over there now!¡± Chen Hao did not want to be unreasonable since he did actually help out with the rescue operation. So, he did not mind being treated to a meal. However, the main reason he was reluctant to go was because he did not want to meet Ma Xiaonan¡¯s cousin. Chapter 173 Two Sets of Suits Chapter 173 Two Sets of Suits Ma Xiaonan¡¯s cousin, Ma Xiaoyun and the others were already there when Chen Hao and Yang Hui arrived. Meng Cairu, Han Siyu and Du Yue were there too. Besides them, there was a young man dressed in a suit,who looked around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, sitting beside Ma Xiaoyun. Ma Xiaoyun was a charming, beautiful woman, and she was a social butterfly too. Chen Hao and his roommates had been keeping in touch with her quite often. She was an arrogant and haughty person. If it wasn¡¯t for the sake of Ma Xiaonan, she would never bother to help them find part-time jobs. ¡°Have a seat,¡± Ma Xiaoyun said nonchntly. Chen Hao then sat down. ¡°The incident yesterday gave us a bout of jitters. Let¡¯s enjoy some drinkster, my treat! Besides, I want to introduce my high school ssmate to all of you. His name is Meng Bin, and he is the leader of the Investigation Police Department in Jin Ling! He¡¯s the one who helped us after receiving my call.¡± ¡°Ah! Mr. Meng Bin, thank you for saving our lives!¡± As she heard about the position of Meng Bin, Du Yue started to feel favorable toward him. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s my duty. Just to let you know, the culprit yesterday has been arrested, and we have even investigated another big case which involved him too. In fact, I should be the one to thank you girls. Otherwise, we don¡¯t know when we could arrest Zhu Jiang, the main culprit behind the big cases,¡± Meng Bin said with a smile. ¡°Xiaonan, look at your friend, how polite is she! Go give Meng Bin a toast to thank him!¡± Seeing that Ma Xiaonan didn¡¯t say anything to express her gratitude, Ma Xiaoyun quickly reminded her. ¡°Oh, I want to thank Inspector Meng and also Chen Hao. After all, without Chen Hao¡¯s help, I couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of danger we would have encountered, ¡± Ma Xiaonan said. Most of all, if it wasn¡¯t for Chen Hao who went to notify the others about the incident, there wouldn¡¯t be any rescue after that. ¡°Xiaonan, what¡¯s wrong with you? I¡¯m asking you to thank Inspector Meng. Why are you thanking Chen Hao instead?¡± Ma Xiaoyun was unhappy about that. ¡°That¡¯s right. What has this loser done? He even imed that he was about to report to the police. I guess he was scared out of his wits at that time. If it wasn¡¯t for the effectiveness of Inspector Meng¡¯s rescue team after receiving the call from Xiaoyun, all of us would have been ruined!¡± Du Yue said. While Meng Bin only slightly shook his head and gave a tiny smile. ¡°That¡¯s right. The people we should thank are Xiaoyun and Inspector Meng. I¡¯ll rece the wine with tea, and this is to both of you! It¡¯s my fault for not teaching Xiaonan her manners. Please take my toast as an apology,¡± Meng Cairu said politely with a faint smile. Obviously, she didn¡¯t take Chen Hao¡¯s help to heart at all. As for Ma Xiaonan, she actually felt something was not right. She didn¡¯t see Meng Bin at all during the whole rescue at that time. Not only that, White Wolf was obviously stronger than Meng Bin in terms of both presence and strength. Hence, Ma Xiaonan smelled a rat regarding the incident. She also couldn¡¯t stand how the others mocked Chen Hao. ¡°Xiaonan, I know that Chen Hao is a good friend of yours. How about I try asking around to get him a job with endowment insurance benefitster?¡± In order not to put her cousin in an awkward situation, Ma Xiaoyun said immediately. ¡°Really? Wouldn¡¯t it be better to get him a job with endowment insurance and retiring pension benefits too?¡± Ma Xiaonan asked. ¡°This is hard. Based on the economy right now, there are only a few bigpanies that would provide retiring pension for their employees. As for Chen Hao, I think it¡¯s quite difficult for me to arrange him a job with those benefits. I¡¯ll try my best.¡± She obviously did not believe in Chen Hao¡¯s abilities and capabilities. ¡°That¡¯s right. If Xiaoyun arranges for him to work in a bigpany, he would face toughpetition. What if he serves as a foil to others in thepanyter?¡± Du Yue, who had always been a straight- forward person, said directly. ¡°Yes. Judging from his characteristics and capability, he should be fine as an office boy or some office- rted work. I don¡¯t think he is able to work in any other fields. Actually, our counselor and I have advised him about this before!¡± Han Siyu forced a smile and shook her head helplessly. Chen Hao¡¯s anger was mounting as he heard what they said. Sh*t, why do you have to mention about me every time? Don¡¯t you have any other topic to talk about except gossiping about me? I''m an honest person but I¡¯m not a fool! I have no choice but to be honest all the time because I had neither money nor power before this. Chen Hao kept silent. Meanwhile, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang and he saw it was a call from his sister. Chen Hao immediately went out to take the call. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°My dear sister, anything?¡± ¡°My little brother, are you free now? I want to tell you that one of my butlers and some of my subordinates have arrived in Jin Ling earlier than expected. I need you to arrange your people to fetch them. I have assigned Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing another task. You just arrange anyone to fetch them at the airport and arrange for their amodations.¡± ¡°Oh, no problem!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. In fact, this was the first time Chen Hao was going to meet people from his family. ¡°Haha, I¡¯ll be there in another two days. We¡¯ll meet each other then!¡± Chen Xiao said happily. Of course, Chen Hao missed his sister a lot. After the simple conversation ended, Chen Hao hung up. Both Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing were busy now so Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to disturb them. Who should he send? Cough, since he didn¡¯t want to continue with the meal as Han Siyu and the girls were here, he decided to go by himself. After all, the one he was going to fetch was his sister¡¯s butler. Hence, Chen Hao went back to the table to tell Ma Xiaonan that he had somethinging up and left right away. ¡°Chen Hao is so busy huh?¡± Ma Xiaoyun said sarcastically. I¡¯m being kind enough to invite you to join our meal and you are actually leaving now? ¡°I guess he just doesn''t have the dignity to stay here longer. Oh ya, Inspector Meng, tell us who the handsome man with white hair is? What¡¯s his position in your department?¡± Du Yue asked at this time. ¡°Haha, to be honest, I¡¯m confused about what you have been talking about since just now. What do you mean by a Maybach and the white-haired cool handsome man? I¡¯ve never seen anyone with white hair in our investigation department, and it¡¯s impossible for us to drive a Maybach in a rescue mission,¡± Meng Bin said with an awkward smile. To tell the truth, he didn¡¯t feel right once he heard their conversation. Indeed, the police were dispatchedst night. He even heard that the relevant leaders in the province also came to investigate the incident. There was a huge fuss within the police department. At that time, Meng Bin received Ma Xiaoyun¡¯s phone call, saying that her cousin and her three friends were kidnapped. As soon as Meng Bin heard about it, he thought, Isn¡¯t it the same case the police were dispatched for? Meng Bin just told her that the police were on the way. As he arrived there with the rescue team, all the culprits had been arrested and the hostages were already rescued. He wasn¡¯t in the position to know what had happened exactly. That was why he felt awkward the whole time he was having the meal. He couldn¡¯t help but force an awkward smile before this when they talked about the rescue. Only then he realized that there were two different parties of people rescuing the girls. His department was only there to clean up the mess. ¡°Huh? It¡¯s not from the police department? Hmm, that¡¯s true. It¡¯s impossible for the police department to ¡°Inspector Meng, does that mean we were not rescued by the police?¡± Meng Cairu was shocked to see that things were not as simple as they thought. ¡°Strictly speaking, it wasn¡¯t us who saved you girls as you girls had left when we arrived at the scene,¡± Meng Bin exined with a smile. He just briefly exined the happenings without touching on the details. There was no need for him to take credit for this rescue. ¡°Huh? At the end of the day, there was another person who came to rescue us? Who was it?¡± Four of the girls felt a jolt of surprise. Suddenly, Han Siyu¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hello, miss. We¡¯re calling from the Rex Suit gship Store customer service line. Earlier yesterday, you bought a suit for your boyfriend, and he came back to purchase another with the exact same designte at night. We only had a smaller size at that time, so he took that one for the time being. The bigger size has just arrived today. We want to ask if he wants to bring it back for a change. He left in a hurry yesterday so we didn¡¯t get his contact number.¡± ¡°My boyfriend? Are you talking about Chen Hao? He¡¯s not my boyfriend! And did you say that he bought another suit? Why did he need two suits?¡± Han Siyu was dumbfounded. Meng Cairu, who had obviously heard the phone call, was stunned as well. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, the suit with Chen Hao yesterday was not the one bought by Siyu! He lied to us! But why does he want to lie to us? As for the suit in the car yesterday¡­ Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s actually¡­¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Meng Cairu eximed suddenly. Chapter 174 An Inevitable Clash Between Enemies Chapter 174 An Inevitable sh Between Enemies Could the suit have belonged to Chen Hao? This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. When she recalled the power bank incident, Meng Cairu could not lie to herself anymore. There was something strange about Chen Hao, and he was definitely keeping a lot of secrets from everyone. The first time she was kidnapped to the hotel, Chen Hao seemed to be the first person to know about it. Hence, she was rescued in time. In addition to that, she found her power bank which she had lent to Chen Hao in Li Feihong¡¯s car. This time, Chen Hao was also the first person to know about their kidnapping, which led to the four of them being rescued in time. Moreover, they even found Chen Hao¡¯s suit and phone. Initially, she thought that Young Master Chen was behind all these. This time however, he had not done everything in favor of her, but for Ma Xiaonan instead. And who had the best rtionship with Ma Xiaonan? Of course, it was Chen Hao! Furthermore, when Chen Hao had angrily beaten up Wang Yang, who was the Vice-President of the Student Council, the Head of Department had treated him with respect instead of punishing him. Besides, Chen Hao had unexpectedly be rich, filthy rich! The most important thing was, Young Master Chen¡¯s surname was Chen, and Chen Hao had the same surname as well! Oh my God! If Chen Hao was indeed Young Master Chen, then everything would make sense! Meng Cairu¡¯s face suddenly turned pale. Even Han Siyu and the rest of them hade to realize a few things in hindsight. Everybody was scared out of their wits. ¡°Could Chen Hao be Young Master Chen and Ordinary Guy as well?¡± whispered Han Siyu anxiously. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but most likely he could be!¡± Meng Cairu said listlessly, ¡°Don¡¯t panic first everybody. Let us secretly observe Chen Hao first until we canpletely determine his identity. Only then will we discuss our next step.¡± Meng Cairu could onlye up with this idea now. She never imagined that she would fall in love with Chen Hao. In short, it was quite a strange dinner scene as some of the girls were having a perturbed state of mind. Meanwhile, Chen Hao had already gone back to the vi to retrieve the high-end caravan to pick up his sister¡¯s butler and the rest of the entourage. They were reportedly assigned to his sister directly by his family, hence they did hold a certain level of status in the household. Chen Hao had never been on a ne before, so he did not know how the airport''s pick-up service worked. He couldn¡¯t just stand at the exit with a paper sign, right? He might as well have parked his caravan at a more conspicuous ce just outside the exit. After all, they did not allow any cars to stop within the vicinity of the airport. The butler was notified of the car''s license te via the phone number that was left behind by his sister. However, it wasn¡¯t long before Chen Hao regretted his decision. Because when he parked his caravan here, many young people, especially girls, kept casting sidelong nces in his direction. Some of them even took pictures of themselves with the caravan. It made Chen Hao, who was in the caravan, embarrassed. Currently, at the entrance of the airport. ¡°Grandfather, didn¡¯t you say that Young Master Chen would arrange for someone to pick us up from the airport? Where is he then?¡± Four people emerged from the airport. One of them was a white-haired, gentle and honest-looking old man. Walking along next to him was a teenage girl who seemed to be around eighteen to neen years old. A pair of twin brothers were seen trailing behind them. They seemed to be around thirty years old. They were dressed in suits. However, the suits could not hide their arrogant nature. They seemed to be the bodyguards of both the old man and his granddaughter. ¡°Yes, Young Master Chen will arrange somebody to pick us up. He had already told me the license te of the car. Tian Long, Di Hu, can you guys help me find it?¡± ¡°Ok, Mr. Kang!¡± Both of them started to survey their surroundings. ¡°Grandfather, I heard that Jin Ling has the most unique delicacies. I have never tried them before. Can I eat themter?¡± the young girl pleaded with her grandfather. She seemed to be a willful and naughty teenager. ¡°Fine, we will be in Jin Ling for quite some time, so you can eat whatever you like!¡± At this moment, both Tian Long and Di Hu had returned. They had obviously found the caravan. Chen Hao was waiting for them as they arrived in front of the car. However, Chen Hao was too embarrassed to introduce himself when he heard the words of the teenage girl next to the old man. ¡°Grandfather, do you think that Young Master Chen is a handsome young man? Chen Xiao is quite a beautifuldy, so Young Master Chen must be handsome as well!¡± Before they reached the caravan, Chen Hao overheard the girl¡¯s conversation. ¡°Of course, Young Master Chen is an extraordinary and handsome young man. However, Duoduo, when you meet Young Master Chenter, don¡¯t say anything nonsensical and don¡¯t you dare act wantonly. He is not Miss Chen, who would spoil you rotten. If you make him angry, I can¡¯t help you out, alright? Just look at your unruly temper!¡± ¡°I understand. I heard that although Young Master Chen looks cool on the outside, he is actually a passionate, wild person on the inside. Not only that, I heard that he is also quite dirty-minded, and that he has many wives!¡± The girl stuck out her tongue and smiled. ¡°You rotten brat! I will silence that mouth of yours. Where did you hear this from?¡± ¡°Well, that is what the kids from the other families in the Southern region were saying. They said that Young Master Chen, who is going to return to the family soon, is a Casanova in Jin Ling. In addition to that, he had gotten many women pregnant before. They even said that Young Master Chen will impregnate you if you offended him. That is why I''m very scared of him,¡± said the girl as she rubbed her belly. ¡°I think those brats don¡¯t n on living any longer. How could they second-guess a person like Young Master Chen and make up such preposterous rumors? Duoduo, I heard from Miss Chen that Young Master Chen is a good person. Stay away from those brats who speak or act based on hearsay, and who dare to speak these irresponsible words!¡± ¡°Miss Chen is Young Master Chen¡¯s sister. So, of course she would speak up for him!¡± ¡°Enough, you rotten brat, you better shut your mouth!¡± Mr. Kang fumed and red at her. Only then did he notice Chen Hao who was standing at the sides, with his face flushed. Chen Hao was too embarrassed to introduce himself after hearing her words. What the h*ll? How did the rumors end up like that? ¡°Haha, I am so sorry that you had to witness such an embarrassing scene, young man. My granddaughter does not really know Young Master Chen very well. Don''t you worry though, she did not mean to mock him at all. Are you his personal driver?¡± asked Mr. Kang with a smile. After all, this guy was Young Master Chen¡¯s man, and Young Master Chen was the future heir of the Chen family. Therefore, his position was higher than Chen Xiao. Even if he was Young Master Chen¡¯s driver, in the eyes of others, his status wasn¡¯t low at all. Apart from that, this driver obviously heard his granddaughter¡¯s description of Young Master Chen. In fact, Chen Hao had been a hot topic of discussion amongst his family members. There were all kinds of descriptions about him. Some people described him as a reserved person who liked to keep a low profile, while some described him as a wanton person. Good things were said about him, as well as some preposterous things by those bold enough to do so. After all, the future sessor of the powerful Chen family was definitely a hot topic for discussion. ¡°Huh? Haha, I-I am not¡­¡± Chen Hao smiled awkwardly. Of course, Chen Hao had heard Mr Kang''s granddaughter''s words loud and clear. Hence, he was too embarrassed at the moment to reveal his identity. He could impregnate girls, and he would do that to anyone who offended him. Putting aside the absurdity of it, even if it was true, then all the girls in the entire Jin Ling College would be in trouble as all of them had offended him before. If he were to reveal his identity now, then it would be an awkward situation. Might as wellugh it off as a joke then. At this moment, the girl said, ¡°Haha, this is wonderful. Since you are Young Master Chen¡¯s driver, then you are definitely familiar with this area. Why don¡¯t you bring me around to eat some of Jin Ling¡¯s unique delicacies? You are definitely familiar with all the good ces to eat and y in Jin Ling, right?¡± Duoduo asked Chen Hao with delight. ¡°Hmm, I think so.¡± To be honest, Chen Hao had never tried any delicacies in Jin Ling before due to his poverty. ¡°Hahaha, great. Bring me there at once!¡± said the girl. ¡°Enough Duoduo, don¡¯t be naughty. If the driver apanies you to eat, then who is going to drive the car?¡± Mr. Kang said whileughing. ¡°Hmph! Tian Long and Di Hu are still here. Grandfather, I have been looking forward to this day for such a long time. Please let hime with me. Don¡¯t worry, today is my treat!¡± ¡°Please say yes. If you refuse, then I will tell Young Master Chen these rumors in detail when I see him Mr. Kang did not know how to handle his granddaughter, hence he smiled and said, ¡°I surrender then. Young man, why don¡¯t you apany my granddaughter and bring her around. We should be able to find the Hot Spring Vi by ourselves. I will personally exin this to Young Master Chenter.¡± ¡°Ok then!¡± Chen Hao scratched his head. Sigh! Originally, Chen Hao wanted to have a proper gathering with the people from his household. However, he did not expect that he had given other people such an impression. But wait, if he apanied Duoduo for a meal, then who were they going to meetter? Forget it! It would be better if he admitted it now. ¡°Mr. Kang, nice to meet you. Actually, I am¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± At this moment, a girl¡¯s surprised voice rang outside the entrance. There was a trace of delight within her voice as if she had found something by chance after a long and unsessful search. ¡°Liao Hong, who is it?¡¯ ¡°Hmph! Young Master Xu, this is the person whonded me in the hospital. That is him alright! He and Bai Xiaofei had beaten me up. You said that you would avenge me when you return to the country. Well, this person is standing right before you!¡± Liao Hong''s eyes started to look red as she jumped up and down angrily. A group of bodyguards in suits were standing right behind her. Other than that, a fleet of ck Mercedes-Benz cars were parked at the exit as well. Next to her, a Young Master who wore a pair of sunsses, and attracted the attention of numerous girls, was none other than Xu Wei. ¡°What the f*ck! Liao Hong, are you sure?¡± Then, Xu Wei threw away his sunsses and red coldly at Chen Hao¡­ Chapter 175 Bring This Woman Along Chapter 175 Bring This Woman Along ¡°Surround them immediately!¡± Xu Wei waved his hand and a dozen bodyguards immediately rushed over and surrounded Chen Hao and his entourage. A 27 or 28 year old sturdy-looking man in sunsses stood behind Xu Wei. He did not utter a single word throughout the entire process. He crossed his arms. Half of his face seemed to have suffered a serious burn, making him look fierce. He must be Xu Wei¡¯s personal bodyguard or something. ¡°Hmph! It seems that enemies tend to meet each other on narrow roads. It has only been a few days and here we are once again.¡± Liao Hong came over arm in arm with Xu Wei. Her eyes were red and filled with rage. If you could kill a person just by looking at them, Chen Hao would have been skinned alive. Who was the person that Liao Hong wanted to skin the most? It was definitely Chen Hao. Throughout her entire life, she had been the apple of everybody¡¯s eye. Everyone treated her with care, as if they were afraid she might get lost or broken. Not once would she have dreamed of getting a beating. However, she did endure a beating. Not only was she beaten up in front of other people, she was given an electric shock as well. Moreover, she was too embarrassed to say that she even peed herself in the Western restaurant that day. She had endured numerous humiliations on that day, and it was all because of this jerk! ¡°Was he the person that beat you up? Hmph! You stupid brat, how dare you beat up my woman?! Today, I will let you know the consequences of doing so. Come, my fellow men, I want you all to break his limbs first, then I want to settle the score with his family,¡± said Xu Wei. Since the previous incident, Xu Wei went for a vacation in M Country for a few days. When he heard that his girlfriend was beaten up, he rushed back immediately from abroad. Those who offended Xu Wei did not get off easily. Not only were they punished, even their families were involved as well. In other words, Chen Hao¡¯s family would suffer as well. While he was speaking, two bodyguards had already rushed forward. They reached to grab Chen Hao¡¯s shoulders. However, Chen Hao suddenly felt a breeze beside him. ¡°Ah!¡± Following that, the two bodyguards immediately flew away like a kite without a string. The two bodyguards, Tian Long and Di Hu, who were beside Chen Hao had stepped in. Their movements were so quick that Chen Hao did not even see them move. On the other hand, Mr. Kang looked at the scene before him and smiled bitterly before turning to Chen Hao and gave him a smile. ¡°Young man, are these your enemies?¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Yes, we had some disagreements in the past.¡± Chen Hao wasn¡¯t scared of Xu Wei and Liao Hong anymore. ¡°Ok then. Since they are enemies of Young Master Chen¡¯s driver, then they are Young Master Chen¡¯s enemies as well. Naturally, they are our enemies too. I leave this matter to you then, Tian Long and Di Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Hu.¡± Mr. Kang nodded his head with a smile. Duoduo who was standing beside him was brimming with confidence. ¡°Wow, it has been such a long time since I saw Tian Long and Di Hu in action, right grandfather?¡± said Duoduo. ¡°They do look quite powerful.¡± At this moment, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but admire them in his heart when he saw their skills. ¡°Of course they are. They were top soldiers in the military. Tian Long is more powerful. Everybody in the Western Underworld would tremble when they hear his name. I bet you never met him before,¡± said Duoduo proudly. ¡°The Chen family helped them out before. Hence, after they left the military, they came to serve the Chen family. They had left Miss Chen upon the orders of Master Chen. From now onward, they will only listen to Young Master Chen¡¯s orders,¡± Mr. Kang who was standing at the side could not help himself from exining. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but stare at them with wide eyes. So, these are the two top soldiers that were sent by his family to protect him. Originally, Chen Hao thought that Li Feihong and White Wolf were very formidable bodyguards. Unexpectedly, these two people were even more powerful than them. No matter who or how many people they were up against, both of them maintained the same expression on their faces. With their fists and legs, they were able to pinpoint with deadly uracy the vital points of their opponents. Because in a blink of an eye, the bodies of a dozen bodyguards were sprawled across the floor. ¡°What?¡± Xu Wei and Liao Hong who were initially triumphant looked shocked. These bodyguards originally belonged to his father. This time, they came here to receive him personally, and each of them were the top in their field. It was 10 against 2 people. How could they lose all their strength and power within a span of 10 or more seconds? ¡°Haha! I see that you don¡¯t know what is good for you, young man. It¡¯s your turn now!¡± Tian Long and Di Hu smiled coldly as they slowly approached Xu Wei. ¡°God damn it! Ugly, it¡¯s your turn now. Show them what you¡¯ve got! Quickly!¡± Xu Wei was frightened out of his wits. Originally he thought that it would be a walk in the park as he just needed to avenge his woman by breaking Chen Hao¡¯s limbs. He did not expect that there were actually two top fighters beside Chen Hao. At that moment, he didn¡¯t have a choice but to order his personal bodyguard to fight them. Ugly was the nickname of the youth who had burns over half of his face. His body started to tremble when he saw Tian Long and Di Hu. His trembling wasn¡¯t out of fear, instead he seemed to be suppressing some kind of emotion. At that moment, he stood in front of Xu Wei. ¡°You guys can kill me, but please allow Young Master Xu to leave,¡± said Ugly casually. Both of them looked at each other and stared at the disfigured youth in front of them. ¡°Damn it! I did not ask you to die, instead I am asking you to mow them down. You ugly creature, how dare you disobey my orders!¡± Punch! Xu Wei cried out angrily as he waved his fist and punched Ugly in his face. Ugly did not dare to dodge the blow, instead he allowed it to find its target. A small stream of blood was seen at the corner of his mouth. ¡°Hmph! The Xu family raised you for nothing, you piece of trash!¡± p! Liao Hong was so angry that she gave Ugly a p in the face. Did he know the situation now? It was time for him to help them vent their anger, not to protect them and escape! ¡°Young Master Xu, Miss Liao, please escape quickly for I am no match for them,¡± said Ugly casually. ¡°What the f*ck! I thought that you were very powerful. My father raised you for nothing, you piece of trash. When we get back, I am going to let you hug the trash can every single day.¡± Xu Wei did not expect Ugly to surrender straightaway. At this moment, he was distressed and pointed at Chen Hao and the rest of them. ¡°You stupid brat! I was not ready today. If you have the guts, then let us set a time to have another match with each other!¡± Xu Wei saw that the crowd was gettingrger by the minute. If he continued to stay here, he would either get beaten up or be embarrassed in front of other people. At this moment, Chen Hao noticed that Mr. Kang was looking at him, indicating that he wanted Chen Hao to make a decision. After all, if Young Master Chen¡¯s driver ran into some troubles, then Mr. Kang would definitely help him out on Young Master Chen¡¯s ount. ¡°Fine! It¡¯s time we set a date for our showdown. You can leave today. However, you must leave this woman behind,¡± said Chen Hao with a smile. Although Chen Hao usually kept a low profile, that did not mean that he was an idiot. He had definitely offended the Xu family, and there was no way he was going to escape from it. Hence, Chen Hao thought that it would be better for him to find an opportunity to put them in their ce once and for all to prevent them from stirring up other troubles again in the future. Xu Wei relied on the Xu family for support. There was no point in putting him in his ce as he had nothing of value personally. On the other hand, Liao Hong started panicking when she heard Chen Hao¡¯s words. ¡°Young Master Xu, please do not put me in their hands. Please, bring me along as well!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Liao Hong. You stay put here first. I wille to rescue you soon. So, you must wait for me,¡± said Xu Wei in a hurry. With that, he ran toward a car and got in. Then, he drove away immediately, thereby leaving behind the rest of the bodyguards. Ugly nodded his head at Tian Long and Di Hu and turned to leave in a car. ¡°Duan Fei!¡± At this moment, Tian Long and Di Hu shouted at Ugly who was preparing to enter the car. Ugly paused suddenly. Then, as if he heard nothing, he got into the car¡­ ¡°Damn it! He looks so alike. He really looks like that kid!¡± said Di Hu as he continued to stare. ¡°Yes, he looks alike. Those eyes never change. However, how did Duan Fei be the underling of a Young Master like him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Besides, it was obvious that he did not want to acknowledge us,¡± both of them whispered to each other. At this moment, Mr. Kang said, ¡°Ok, let us discuss this matter once we get back. For now, let us meet Young Master Chen first. Tian Long, Di Hu, please bring along this woman.¡± Chapter 176 A Satisfying Answer Chapter 176 A Satisfying Answer Bringing Liao Hong along, Chen Hao drove to Hot Spring Vi. When they reached, Chen Hao ordered the bodyguards who rushed over to wee them to take Liao ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Hong into a room and watch over her. ¡°Yo, Mr. Driver! I didn¡¯t know that you held so much power in the Hot Spring Vi¡ªeven the bodyguards had to listen to you!¡± Duoduo cheekily remarked. ¡°Young Master Chen! You¡¯re here!¡± Both Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing hurried out from the vi and greeted Chen Hao anxiously when they saw him walking over. At the same time, they also greeted Mr. Kang respectfully. Although Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing were always boisterous when they were at Jin Ling City, they usually toned down their behavior around Chen Xiao and her butler, Mr. Kang. However, Mr. Kang as well as Tian Long, Di Hu and his granddaughter Duoduo who were standing behind him were stunned when they heard them greeting Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen?¡± ¡°You are Young Master Chen?!¡± Mr. Kang eximed in shock. ¡°Yes, I am. I wanted to introduce myself just now but I didn¡¯t get the chance to,¡± Chen Hao said and smiled bitterly. ¡°Cough cough¡­¡± Mr. Kang coughed in shock. He felt embarrassed. What were they even thinking when they were gossiping about Young Master Chen during the car ride? What was even more surprising was the fact that this modestly dressed, introverted young man turned out to be Young Master Chen. It looked like Miss Chen was right. ¡°Huh? You¡¯re the¡­ t-the Young Master Chen?!¡± Initially, Duoduo was still standing close to Chen Hao. She really enjoyed being in Chen Hao¡¯s presence as he gave her a sense of security. However, she was too stunned to even react after learning about his identity. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but smile wryly while shaking his head a little. After this small interlude, Zhao Zixing brought everyone to enjoy the feast prepared for them in advance. Under the influence of the great food, everyone was brought closer to each other. ¡°Young Master Chen, the reason why Miss Chen appointed us toe is because of something she wanted us to inform you. At the same time, this is also the old master¡¯s wishes. I am sure that Miss Chen had already mentioned it to you for quite some time already,¡± Mr. Kang said dutifully. ¡°The thing is, Miss Chen¡¯s assessment waspleted six years ago. However, your assessment will be starting from now. This time, the family has decided to auction off the Jin Ling Commercial Group that was founded by both you and Miss Chen. Using the assets gained from the auction, you will be required to establish a new enterprise in the Jin Ling City area of your own!¡± Chen Xiao had briefed Chen Hao about what Mr. Kang mentioned for quite a while now. Which is why Chen Hao had already prepared himself some time ago. He already sessfully negotiated a deal with both his projects: Extraordinary Live Streaming App and Yunmeng Mountain. However, the family¡¯s requirement to auction off Jin Ling Commercial Street caught him off guard. ¡°I understand the need for me to establish new developments, however, Jin Ling Commercial Street is still profiting. Is there really a need to auction it?¡± Chen Hao asked with a wry expression. After all Chen Hao had been through, it was an understatement to say that he became fond of Jin Ling Commercial Street. ¡°What? Those profits gained were mainly used for the evaluation of Miss Chen¡¯s and your assessments. The family would never let a smallmercial group stay around for long. However, if you really like it, you can buy it over as a ce for entertainment afterpleting your assessments.¡± Mr. Kang could not understand why Chen Hao even bothered asking about it. However, Chen Hao also understood. Yeah, although Jin Ling Commercial Group is powerful, it is nothingpared to the Chen family¡¯s estate that is all over the globe. Sigh, maybe it would be better to just auction it off? I am no longer poor anyways, what was the point of even keeping Jin Ling Commercial Street? Lame! ¡°By the way, Young Master Chen, you will be in charge of the family¡¯s safety in Jin Ling city area from now onwards. Besides that, I have also brought Tian Long and Di Hu along to be your personal bodyguards!¡± Mr. Kang said. He then eyed Li Zhenguo and gave him a look. Li Zhenguo immediately caught on and carefully took a remote controller, handing it over to Chen Hao. Chen Hao remembered this remote controller. It was the same one used by Li Zhenguo to send around 50 helicopters to save his life when he was almost killed by Ning Fan. ¡°Young Master Chen, this is an emergency basecampmunicator. From today onwards, this will belong to you!¡± What happened next was some collection of signatures for the transferring process. By the time all the procedures werepleted, it was already 8p.m.. To be honest, Chen Hao was surprised by his family¡¯s authority in Jin Ling City area. Looking into the emergency basecamps, there was not only military power, they were also equipped with apetent team of medics as well as an investigation team and more. It was just like in the movies. Chen Hao in the past would have never experienced this kind of stuff. However, being in charge of these also implied that Chen Hao will be put into control soon. Well, he should just take it slow then! After everyone went to rest, Chen Hao also prepared to rest. Suddenly he remembered something. Right! I still have something to do! A sneer stered his face as he walked toward a room. Chen Hao heard the bodyguards scolding as he reached the entrance. ¡°If you do not sit still right now, I will kill you! You better take my words for it! Look at this bite mark, are you a dog?¡± ¡°Bastards! If you don¡¯t let go of me this instance Young Master Xu will kill all of you!¡± Liao Hong cursed in anger. ¡°Hahaha, Young Master Xu? Wow, I¡¯m so scared! Girl, do you know whose territory is this? You better pray for your life now that you have displeased Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°What? Young Master Chen? When have I ever offended Young Master Chen?¡± Liao Hong was dumbfounded. ¡°Stop acting dumb! Young Master Chen was the one who handed you over to us just now!¡± ¡°What? Him? Wait, what? He¡¯s Young Master Chen?¡± Right at this moment, Chen Hao entered the room. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± The bodyguards greeted Chen Hao with a nod then left the room. ¡°W-W-What do you want?¡± Liao Hong quivered in fear. She finally understood how he managed to get so many people to rush over that time at Sti restaurant. Looks like he was Young Master Chen! ¡°What do you think I¡¯m going to do by bringing you into this room?¡± Chen Hao chuckled. ¡°But, Young Master Chen, I belong to Young Master Xu!¡± Liao Hong blushed and whispered lightly in her tied form, lowering her gaze and looked downward. And right at that moment, she acted as coy as she had ever been. Those bodyguards were right, Young Master Xu is really nothingpared to Young Master Chen. Since Young Master Xu can¡¯t bring me to the top, what¡¯s wrong with bing Young Master Chen¡¯s woman instead? Although there were past resentments, I''m sure that Young Master Chen won¡¯t be able to resist my beauty. ¡°I don¡¯t care who you belong to. I wouldn¡¯t even touch you in any way. But, since you¡¯re in my hands now, it¡¯s time to pay for what you have done. Then again, it¡¯s not like you have anything valuable with you right now, I guess we still have to use your body then!¡± ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡± Chen Hao started heading outside and dialed someone from his phone, ¡°Hey! I need you to bring a few thugs from the streets¡ª¡± ¡°What the f*ck? What do you think you are doing? Get back here! Hey!!!¡± Liao Hong yelled at Chen Hao¡¯s back in sheer terror. It didn¡¯t take much to figure out what was Chen Hao¡¯s intention by now right? Of course, Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t touch this kind of woman. Instead, Chen Hao took off to enjoy the beauty of that night¡¯s scenery. However, he received Li Zhenguo¡¯s phone call in no more than half an hour. ¡°Hehe, Young Master Chen, after that scare tactic you used on that girl, she spilled everything. I can¡¯t believe that she even knows some of Haishan Real Estate Group¡¯s secrets! Moreover, she promised to help us get what we want!¡± Li Zhenguo eximed cheerfully. ¡°I still have to give credit to your idea General Manager Li, if it weren¡¯t for your reminder, I would have already arranged for her to be beaten up!¡± Chen Hao insisted with an awkward smile. Regarding this matter, Li Zhenguo would have naturally reminded Chen Hao about it. ¡°Don¡¯t you worry, Young Master Chen. I know that Haishan Real Estate Group has displeased you, give me one day to sort it out. I will bring you a satisfying result!¡± Chapter 177 Another Encounter with the Library’s Goddess Chapter 177 Another Encounter with the Library¡¯s Goddess As for how Li Zhenguo was going to sort the problem out, Chen Hao did not care enough to know. He left early and slept well that night. The next day, Chen Hao rushed back to school. Although it rained heavily, his studies were still important. As usual, Chen Hao¡¯s driver dropped him off at an area that was out of sight from the college¡¯s entrance and he rushed in with an umbre. ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, Chen Hao heard a feminine gasp. When he turned around, he saw a girl in a white flowy dress. The girl identally twisted her ankle ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. when she wanted to open up her umbre. She ended up holding her umbre in one hand while checking her ankle with another. Looks like her ankle was twisted pretty badly, she can¡¯t even walk anymore. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but ask when he was walking past her. ¡°It really hurts!¡± The girl sounded like she was about to cry and looked up to meet his gaze. ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Chen Hao¡¯s mind went nk. The girl also looked surprised. This was none other than the mesmerizing girl that sat next to Chen Hao when he was doing his revision in the libraryst time. Chen Hao felt awkward when he recalled theirst encounter. He not only had a nose bleed, he also identally sneezed in the library. It was so embarrassing! He never thought that he would bump into her so early in school! ¡°I was about to grab a taxi to buy some materials. Maybe I was too rushed!¡± The girl also clearly recalled what happened during theirst encounter as she blushed and exined her situation. ¡°You probably shouldn¡¯t go right now. It¡¯s raining heavily. Just let me help you to the infirmary!¡± Chen Hao persuaded. Not to mention that during theirst encounter, the girl also helped him out by giving him tissue papers. Even if it was a stranger, Chen Hao would have offered his help in this kind of situation. Moreover, this girl was very beautiful, the kind of girl that was very charismatic. Even if Chen Hao wanted to leave her alone, he couldn¡¯t beat his conscience to it. ¡°Okay!¡± The girl hesitated initially, however, overwhelmed by the pain, she finally nodded in agreement. Even so, she couldn¡¯t walk anymore. Chen Hao had no choice but to carry her on his back. Fortunately, Chen Hao gave the girl a favorable impression during their first encounter. Hence, she did not protest much. She allowed Chen Hao to carry her and held the umbre for both of them. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but blush as he smelled her scent. But, he suddenly changed his mind and reminded himself that he already had Su Tongxin. What am I even thinking about? He dropped his thoughts and quickened his pace. Honk honk! Right at this moment, a G500 slowed down next to them. ¡°Hey gorgeous, the weather is so bad right now! Do you want a ride? I will fetch you to wherever you want to go!¡± The car¡¯s window rolled down as a well-dressed man in the car yelled to them. When Chen Hao heard him, he couldn¡¯t help stopping. In Chen Hao¡¯s opinion, all pretty girls loved luxurious cars. To his surprise, the girl did not even spare the man a nce. Instead, she tapped his shoulder and said, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go already. My ankle hurts!¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Chen Hao snapped out of his trance and nodded. Looks like she is really different from other girls. ¡°God damn it! If only I was earlier. That girl looks so fine!¡± The man watched as Chen Hao carried the girl¡¯s away and smashed his steering wheel in a fit of rage. Luckily, the infirmary was just close by. Once Chen Hao dropped the girl, doctors immediately came over to tend after her. Chen Hao felt that it was inappropriate to stay and decided to leave. ¡°Hang on, what is your name? I am Qin Ya,¡± the girl asked. ¡°My name is Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Thank you very much! If it wasn¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have been able toe here all by myself. By the way, I saw you holding your books just now. Were you heading to the library?¡± ¡°Yeah!¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Qin Ya! Are you alright? Why were you so careless?¡± The infirmary door was pushed open and around five gorgeous girls with tallnky figure walked in. How beautiful were they? Put it like this, online personalities were nothingpared to all of them! It looked like they were all Qin Ya¡¯s roommates. Just a few moments before, Qin Ya texted her roommates that she was sent to the infirmary. ¡°I twisted my ankle so Chen Hao here carried me over!¡± Qin Ya directed a smile at Chen Hao while exining. ¡°Oh my God! The hero saved the damsel in distress, haha! It looks like we must really thank this handsome guy for saving our friend!¡± the girls gossiped while throwing a few nces at Chen Hao. However, after eyeing him, the girls felt more or less disappointed. Chen Hao had no fashion sense at all. To put it bluntly, he looked like a loser. However, his fairplexion made him look neat. Moreover, he seemed like he was trustworthy, but also gave off a goofy vibe as well. They had never seen him around anyways, so they can¡¯t say much about him. ¡°Hey! Were you the one who rescued our Qin Ya? Handsome guy?¡± ¡°Y-Yeah, I wouldn¡¯t say I rescued her though, just helping someone out!¡± Chen Hao did not know why he started bing shy and nervous in front of these pretty girls. He wasn¡¯t like this in the past. ¡°Oh! Qin Ya never owes people any favors. What about this, handsome boy? How about we help Qin Ya to return the favor?¡± The girls huddled around to tease Chen Hao. ¡°Haha! What about this? Handsome boy, what about Qin Ya offering herself to you?¡± another girl eximed in excitement and started chuckling. ¡°If you don¡¯t want her, what about sleeping together for a night?¡± ¡°Oh my! That¡¯s super embarrassing!¡± The girls continued messing around. ¡°T-there¡¯s no need for that!¡± Chen Hao did not expect these girls to be so daring and straightforward judging by their beautiful soft features. Even Chen Hao became embarrassed at this point. ¡°Why not? Are you implying that you don¡¯t want Qin Ya because she is ugly?¡± The girls started crowding over him. ¡°That wasn''t what I meant!¡± ¡°What else do you mean then? Tell us now!¡± Qin Ya looked at her friends from her bed in silence. She knew her friends well. All of them were gorgeous and never had to worry about guys fooling around with them. They had numerous guys falling for them daily and they always messed around with the guys. At the same time, she also observed Chen Hao. She saw how Chen Hao¡¯s face flushed in embarrassment from getting teased. Qin Ya broke into giggles. ¡°Come on guys, stop teasing Chen Hao! Tongtong, I want to eat apples, can you peel them for me?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± The tall lean girl named Tongtong then gave Chen Hao a look. ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t mean what you said just now? How about you peel an apple for Qin Ya?¡± ¡°Huh? Me?¡± Chen Hao stared nkly. ¡°Yeah! Don''t worry, I won¡¯t let your effort go in vain. Once you finish peeling the apple, I will allow you to kiss me anywhere you want! How about that?¡± Zhao Tongtong slowly inched closer to Chen Hao This was Chen Hao¡¯s first time meeting a girl like this. She is as bold as Lin Jiao! However, it looked like Lin Jiao is nothingpared to these girls! Everything they said had sexual undertones! Furthermore, they are all daring and bold! They managed to get Chen Hao to peel the apple as well as another banana for Qin Ya and made him help to clean Qin Ya¡¯s jade bracelet. Chen Hao felt very awkward and unsettled. He decided that he was going to leave after he finished helping her. However, right as he stood up with Qin Ya¡¯s removed bracelet, someone forcefully pushed Chen Hao out of the way. In that moment, he lost his hold on the bracelet and it fell and broke into pieces on the ground ¡°Qin Ya! I heard that you hurt yourself, I was so worried!¡± A guy rushed into the room and eximed nervously. Chapter 178 Buying a Jewelry from the Jewelry Store Chapter 178 Buying a Jewelry from the Jewelry Store ¡°I¡¯m fine, Li Yue. Stop bothering me!¡± Qin Ya rebuked lightly. The man that barged in was dressed in a suit. His fairplexion gave him a clean handsome look. Although it was obvious that Qin Ya refused to acknowledge his presence, Li Yue did not mind at all. ¡°Oh no! Qin Ya, your bracelet broke!¡± Zhao Tongtong gasped audibly when she saw the jade bracelet that had broken into pieces. ¡°Chen Hao, why are you so careless? Are you jealous because Li Yue gave Qin Ya attention?¡± another girl chided. Needless to say, their conversation caught Li Yue¡¯s attention. Yes, Li Yue was head over heels in love with Qin Ya. It reached a point where he became obsessed with her. However, Qin Ya was not interested in Li Yue at all. Although Li Yue came from a wealthy family, it did not change Qin Ya¡¯s impression towards him. Sigh, she can¡¯t help it though, no means no. Of course, it was also not possible for her to develop feelings toward Chen Hao just because he saved her. Actually, it was obvious that her friends were making a joke out of Chen Hao because everyone saw how Chen Hao lost his grip because of Li Yue¡¯s push. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It was just a bracelet anyway, I can buy a new one!¡± Qin Ya felt somewhat embarrassed that her friends messed around with Chen Hao. After all, he was the one who helped her out. ¡°Young Master Li, we all saw what happened. Since you and Chen Hao broke Qin Ya¡¯s bracelet, both of you shouldpensate for what you¡¯ve done!¡± It was evident that the girls spoke more respectfully toward Li Yue. ¡°Haha! I can always get Qin Ya a new bracelet. However, how is this guy here going to pay for it?¡± Li Yue red at Chen Hao disdainfully. ¡°Since this is none of my business anymore, I¡¯ll be leaving now. Qin Ya, please rest well!¡± Chen Hao knew that if he stayed any longer, he would be teased even more relentlessly. Moreover, there was also Li Yue that treated him withplete hostility. As for the girls, Chen Hao did not want to fuss around too much. If he wanted their admiration, all he needed to do was to drive his car over. After all, people only bully you because you were poor and naive. Moreover, his encounter with Qin Ya today was just a coincidence. Chen Hao did not want to dwell too deep into it. About the bracelet, Chen Hao thought, Since it was more or less rted to him, he should just buy her a new bracelet to rece the one he broke, he decided. Qin Ya had the intention to ask Chen Hao to stay when he was leaving. However, she also knew that it was hard for him to fit into her social circle. Maybe someday when they have the chance to meet again. After leaving the infirmary, Chen Hao headed to the library to do his revision. It was noon in a blink of an eye . Right at this moment, Chen Hao received an iing call from Li Zhenguo. ¡°Young Master Chen! It¡¯s done, Haishan Real Estate Group won¡¯t exist in Jin Ling City anymore!¡± Li Zhenguo dered happily. ¡°You did a great job, General Manager Li!¡± Chen Hao replied. As for how he executed it, it should be nothing more than forceful coercion. In the past, bothpanies earned and took what was rightfully theirs. They never interfered with each other. However, if they were to be enemies, Haishan Real Estate Group was definitely no match for his family! ¡°By the way, Young Master Chen, the CEO has a few other properties in Jin Ling that were registered under your name, are you busy now? There are a few documents that need your signature. Of course, I can go over to you too!" Li Zhenguo added dutifully. ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. I wille over right now!¡± Chen Hao decided that he was done with his studies anyways. He wanted to go to the jeweller at Jin Ling Commercial Street to get a new jade bracelet for Qin Ya that was just like her old one. That would suffice aspensation. The rain stopped. Chen Hao took a cab to Hot Spring Vi to sign the documents and stopped en route at a jewelry shop on Jin Ling Commercial Street. ¡°Excuse me, I am looking for a jade bracelet!¡± Chen Hao looked around at the shop and finally found one that looked simr to Qin Ya¡¯s. ¡°Sir, this bracelet is made from high quality nephrite and is exclusive. Are you sure you want to purchase this?¡± the receptionist asked with a polite smile. Although she was smiling, it couldn¡¯t cover the look of disdain on her face. Yeah, this young man infront of her was simply dressed. Coming in looking like that and still wanting a nephrite-made bracelet. By the looks of it, he was just here to joke around. However, she couldn¡¯t express her disdain toward him due to her professional work ethic. Chen Hao ignored her gaze. He checked the product and said, ¡°Please wrap this up for me! I will be buying it !¡±. ¡°Huh? Are you sure, Sir? This high quality nephrite-made jade bracelet costs around fifty thousand¡­ Do you want to take a look at other products instead?¡± The receptionist¡¯s smile slowly slipped off. ¡°Stop spouting nonsense and get it done!¡± Chen Hao instructed coldly. Only then, the receptionist packaged the bracelet and took the payment terminal out. However, when Chen Hao swiped his card, it was rejected with a beep. Suddenly, Chen Hao remembered, Sh*t, this credit card only processes a minimum purchase of two hundred thousand! ¡°Wow, I didn¡¯t know Tai He Gold Shop also catered for the lower ss now? Is it true that anyone can enter as they please now? What happened to providing great customer experience?¡± At this moment, a middle-aged man entered the store with ady that looked about thirty years old. They bumped into the scene where Chen Hao¡¯s card was rejected and scorned. Weren¡¯t all humans like this? Making themselves look more powerful by stepping on others? The receptionist smiled apologetically toward the couple. When she turned back to face Chen Hao, she started looking impatient. Of course, Chen Hao was just some poor losering to experience something new as an eye- opener. After all, Tai He Gold Shop was globally known. They experienced too many peopleing in just to take pictures with their phones in the past. It was nothing new. So, obviously, Chen Hao was this kind of person in her eyes. ¡°Sir, I will have to ask you to leave if you¡¯re not going to buy that item. Please do not disturb other customers from making their payment!¡± the receptionist instructed and signaled for him to leave. ¡°Who said that I¡¯m not buying? This item is too cheap. I would like to pick something more expensive!¡± Chen Hao thought, Damn, they really set themselves up to receive a p in the face. Thedy on the middle-aged man¡¯s arm sneered at him, ¡°Huh? I didn¡¯t know this is how kids nowadays behave. How prideful!¡± ¡°I know, right? If I have a son like this, I would have chopped off his legs!¡± ¡°I will get this instead, please wrap it up for me! I will still pay by card!¡± Chen Hao ignored their sneers and selected another jade bracelet in the middle of the disy counter. ¡°Tsk, this jade bracelet is handmade and polished by a famous grandmaster himself. This is sold in the market for around twenty-one hundred thousand, are you sure that you want to purchase it?¡± At this point, the receptionist stopped trying to keep up her facade of being friendly. ¡°Not only this, I also want the jade bracelet just now that is worth fifty thousand! I will buy them together!¡± Chen Hao added nonchntly. ¡°Ha! That totals up to twenty-six hundred thousand! Haha, young man, this is not how you y pretend!¡± the middle-aged man startedughing at him. However, the receptionist yed along and swiped to process his card. Hmph! This guy still wants to pretend that he¡¯s rich! The receptionist thought angrily. I will let you embarrass yourself even more. ¡°Hm, I¡¯ve never met anyone so ignorant!¡± thedy held herself and chided. However, what happened next made all three of them widen their eyes in shock. The payment terminal showed that the transaction was sessful after Chen Hao entered the password for the card. ¡°What?!¡± All three of them were stunned. They felt their faces burn with embarrassment. They all thought that he was a loser, however, he was actually a rich guy! ¡°You better go and package my items nicely now. If I see even a small wrinkle on the packaging paper, I will make sure you¡¯re fired,¡± Chen Hao calmly added. ¡°Y-Y-Yes Sir, I will be extra careful!¡± The receptionist immediately bowed toward Chen Hao. Chen Hao was used to it at this point. It is always like this. When you treat others kindly, they will think that you can be easily imposed on. It is only with an attitude like this that you can get respect from others. ¡°Sir, please wait for your items at the resting area!¡± the receptionist added anxiously. Chen Hao then directed him to a seat while he waited for his items to be packaged. The bracelet that cost 50,000 would be for Qin Ya to pay back for her old one. As for the bracelet that cost 210,000, he would keep it for Su Tongxin. ¡°Shihan,e on! Can you give me another chance? I really love you!¡± ¡°Haha, sure! You said you love me right? Then get me jewelry from here!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won''tpare you to Ding Hao. Just get me a cheap one. If you can afford it, I will get back with you! What do you think?¡± Right at this moment, a young couple entered the store quarreling. Chen Hao¡¯s brows lifted when he looked up and saw them. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Wasn¡¯t that Li Shihan with her ex-boyfriend Ma Fei? Chapter 179 The Jewelry That Broke Chapter 179 The Jewelry That Broke Chen Hao watched both of them quarrel from the VIP waiting area. At this point, they might start fighting soon. Chen Hao finally understood what they were fighting about. Basically, Li Shihan broke up with Ma Fei using the excuse of ''wanting to be left alone''. What the hell? Yang Xia used that same excuse when she broke up with me too. I don¡¯t even want to think about her anymore. Back to the fight. What happened next was simple. Ma Fei wasn¡¯t satisfied with the break up. However,ter on, he realized that Li Shihan became close to another rich man. Moreover, he heard from Li Shihan¡¯s close friends that she was courting the man. This gave Ma Fei mixed feelings. He still loved Li Shihan. But, she betrayed him. This exined why Ma Fei had been all over Li Shihan recently. He had been begging her to get back together. He wanted to regain his pride as a man. Which led to what was happening today. Right now, Li Shihan requested for Ma Fei to buy her jewelry from Tai He Gold Shop before she considered getting back together with him. However, this put Ma Fei in a difficult position. The jewellery sold at Tai He Gold Shop were too expensive. The cheapest was priced at thirty thousand dors! Where was he going to get money when he just started working? ¡°Shihan, the jewellery here are too expensive. Can you pick one from other stores? As long as it doesn¡¯t exceed ten thousand, I will get them for you!¡± It looked like Ma Fei was dead set on his conquest. ¡°Haha, you want me to get back together with you using less than ten thousand? Ma Fei, Ma Fei, are you dumb? A phone Young Master Ding bought me easily cost six to seven thousand already!¡± Li Shihanughed scornfully. Since everything was over already, then so be it! ¡°I understand now. The reason why you like Young Master Ding is because he is richer than me. Even if I could afford buying you a piece of jewellery that cost 30,000 today, you will still reject me right?¡± Ma Fei¡¯s face flushed in anger. ¡°Ma Fei, to be honest, I know that you treated me very well. Which is also why I want you to let go. I don¡¯t want to hurt you any longer, so can you stop pestering me? We will never be together anymore. The reason why I like Young Master Ding is not because of his money. The feelings he gave me was something you can never give me, and because of this I know that we will never be a thing! Can you give both of us a chance at being friends at least? I realized that we really don¡¯t suit each other at all. Moreover, you¡¯re an excellent guy, I¡¯m sure that you¡¯ll find a girl that loves you!¡± Li Shihan exined in all seriousness. ¡°Li Shihan, you really went too far! I was so nice toward you that I¡¯d do anything for you! And now this is what I receive? I get it now, it must be because he slept with you right?¡± Ma Fei¡¯s pride had already shattered into pieces. His eyes reddened. At this point, he doesn¡¯t care anymore and blurted out every nasty thing he could say. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Smack! What answered him was a hard p. ¡°What the hell? You¡¯re insane! You¡¯re definitely insane!¡± Li Shihan shrieked in anger. Smack! Ma Fei returned Li Shihan¡¯s p with another strong p, its impact made Li Shihan fall to the ground. More and more people gathered around them. ¡°I will die with you today! I¡­ I will hit you until you die! Return me all the money I spent on you in the past!¡± Ma Fei roared in anger. He held Li Shihan in a death grip and was punching and kicking her as if he really went insane. Initially, Chen Hao did not want to interfere. Although there was something between him and Li Shihan, they almost became a couple in the past. However, what happened was three years ago. Chen Hao also knew that the Li Shihan now wont spare him any extra nces anymore. He thought that they would just quarrel for a while but did not expect it to escte into a fight! He felt bad if he didn¡¯t step out to stop the fight. Besides, there were still feelings from the past. After all, he was part of the reason both of them were separated. Chen Hao went over to them. At the same time, a few customers that were in the store also came over to stop the fight. ¡°Enough, young man! What kind of person hits a woman? If you have the guts, go out to make a name for yourself and let her regret not choosing you. Be a man! A middle-aged man draped in luxurious items started lecturing Ma Fei. Ma Fei tried to collect himself, he clenched his fists and let out a breath that he had been holding. ¡°Yeah! Make me regret if you have the guts to! But is that even possible? You psychotic loser! I¡¯ll remember you hitting me today! You¡¯re done for!¡± Li Shihan started taunting again. ¡°You should stop talking too! You are also a nuisance. Stop judging a person based on their worth! Rich guys are never loyal anyways. When you break up with a person, at least be honest with them! What¡¯s the point of taunting them?¡± The man lectured Li Shihan too. Li Shihan held her hand over her face and cried, not wanting to talk anymore. After all, the man was someone powerful. ¡°Shihan, are you alright?¡± Chen Hao asked awkwardly because he did not know how to console her. Li Shihan met Chen Hao¡¯s gaze with shock, forshe did not expect to bump into Chen Hao here. ¡°The man just now was right, both of you should calm down and talk about it. After all, you were together in the past because of fate, there¡¯s no need to act like enemies¡ª¡± ¡°What the hell? Why do you even care so much? I don''t need you lecturing me on what to do! Didn¡¯t you get dumped too? You¡¯re just a loser like Ma Fei but you still have the audacity to lecture me!¡± Chen Hao had good intentions. However, the same wordsing out from him and the man just now clearly had different effects. Chen Hao¡¯s words were like dynamites, enraging Li Shihan. Li Shihan thought to herself, Exactly! Even if the whole world were to lecture me, you, Chen Hao, don''t deserve to do that! So what if you bought two branded phones? Stop acting cool! Li Shihan was embarrassed that Chen Hao saw her getting humiliated and beaten in public. Moreover, he still came over to lecture her publicly. Li Shihan didn¡¯t dare to anger Ma Fei anymore. She wouldn¡¯t want to offend the powerful man who lectured her too. Just act if it¡¯s my self-esteem acting up, Hence, Li Shihan directed all her rage toward Chen Hao. She started pushing him around and hitting him, scolding him with nasty words. It was as if she wanted to retrieve the pride that she had lost. ¡°Someone like you should just f*ck off somewhere else. I might have been blind during high school, almost falling for a loser like you!¡± Chen Hao recoiled from her beatings and stopped talking. At this moment, the receptionist that went to wrap Chen Hao¡¯s items came out carefully carrying the jade bracelets. ¡°Stop it!¡± Seeing her most important customer getting beaten by some random girl, the receptionist scolded with anger as if she got cheated on by her husband. She immediately rushed over to stop the fight. ¡°F*ck off!¡± Li Shihan cursed and pushed her away. Suddenly, they heard a clunk and saw that the two beautiful boxes containing the wrapped items fell to the ground. It looked like the items inside were smashed into pieces. The crisp noise of something breaking silenced everyone at once. One must know the jewellery sold at Tai He Gold Shop were exclusive. Looking at the packaging of the boxes, it was an understatement that what was inside was definitely something extraordinary. Li Shihan immediately calmed down because she heard it too. It seemed like something broke. ¡°Oh no! The jade bracelets!¡± The receptionist did not expect Li Shihan to be so violent. Cold sweats started forming beads on her forehead. She anxiously crouched down to reopen the packaging. Immediately, what came into her sight was a jade bracelet broken into three fragments. Chapter 180 Fifty Thousand That Was Hard to Put Together Chapter 180 Fifty Thousand That Was Hard to Put Together ¡°This jade bracelet doesn¡¯t look cheap, and it¡¯s broken into three pieces. Tsk, tsk.¡± ¡°This looks like Hetian nephrite, it must be about fifty thousand. What a shame, this littledy is really too rough. This one shove of hers cost her fifty to sixty thousand!¡± ¡°There¡¯s still one more. Who knows how that piece is now?¡± Many people looked at Li Shihan and contemted. The female attendant was shocked and couldn¡¯t bother with apologizing to Chen Hao. She quickly opened the other package. Following the opening of the package, the crowd¡¯s shocked gasps only got louder. ¡°F*ck! That¡¯s Cloud of Dragon Jade! I heard that if you look closely at the jade, you can see streaks that look like dragon-shaped clouds. It¡¯s super expensive!¡± ¡°I know, this is the number one product in this gold shop. They were all handmade by the master himself. It stands at around two hundred thousand!¡± ¡°Luckily this did not get broken. If not, how much money would have to be paid?¡± ¡°What do you mean it¡¯s not broken? Cloud of Dragon Jade is coveted for its colour. Once the colour is messed up, the streaks can¡¯t form a dragon shape anymore. Then, it might as well have been shattered!¡± Someone who had knowledge of the industry said in shock. ¡°Who is this? They bought so many high-quality jade bracelets!¡± the big boss from before also said in surprise. ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Right at that moment, the young manager in the store rushed out, obviously having been reported to by someone. When he saw two pieces of a jade bracelet lying on the floor, he was astonished and frightened beyond ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. words. ¡°What are you all still standing in shock for? Quickly give it to the master to confirm that the Cloud of Dragon Jade has not been shaken and the colour is intact!¡± ¡°Huh? I¡¯ll go right now! Then, this¡ª¡± ¡°Hurry up and go!¡± the manager said urgently. The female attendant couldn¡¯t apologize to Chen Hao in time and hurriedly went to confirm. ¡°Miss, just hold on for a bit. Later, when the resultse out, we will talk aboutpensation!¡± The manager said to Li Shihan coldly. ¡°Ah? Mister, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Really, I didn¡¯t. That was just an ident¡ª¡± When Li Shihan heard that these jade bracelets were so expensive, her legs turned to jelly with fright. ¡°I know you didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Just hold on. Of course, you can also call your family. If the Cloud of Dragon Jade Bracelet was not broken, then you just need to pay for the nephrite bracelet!¡± the manager said. Chen Hao, however, stayed silent. These two jade bracelets had, of course, been bought by him. But right now, Chen Hao was very angry and very sad. Just now he had wanted to advise Li Shihan, but she treated him like that, as if she didn¡¯t even see him as a human being. Where was the mutual affection from before? If not, Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t have said anything when these two bracelets got broken, right But now, Chen Hao would not say a word. He just silently looked at Li Shihan. ¡°F*ck, this is all because of you two! Meeting you two was the worst thing to happen to me!¡± Li Shihan cried as she scolded them, taking out her phone to make a call. She definitely couldn¡¯t call her family. If her parents knew, they would beat her to death. That was why she called Ding Hao and Chen Lin. After that, they just had to wait for the results. Li Shihan balled her hands into tight fists, staring at Chen Hao and Ma Fei. Her expression said You two just wait for it. Very quickly, Ding Hao and Chen Lin arrived. Once they heard about this, they felt rather agitated too. Especially when they saw that Li Shihan had been hit. ¡°Who hit you?¡± Ding Hao asked haughtily. ¡°That Ma Fei!¡± Li Shihan said more boldly. Even though he wasn¡¯t together with Li Shihan, Ding Hao still maintained a flirtatious rtionship between Li Shihan and Chen Lin. After all, one was especially jealous when meeting a rival. Ding Hao immediately picked up a vase from beside him and threw it at Ma Fei. Crash! It broke on his head. As for Ma Fei, he was a little bewildered after the jade bracelet got shattered. He also didn¡¯t imagine Ding Hao would actually dare to throw the vase at him, and he copsed on the ground as he held his bleeding head. ¡°F*ck! You dare to anger me? I will kill you!¡± Luckily, the manager was holding him back, so he stopped. Ma Fei was taken to the hospital by some kind bystanders. ¡°Sh*t, Chen Hao? Why are you here too?¡± Chen Lin had only just seen Chen Hao, who was standing nearby. ¡°Chen Lin, don¡¯t mention him! If it wasn¡¯t for this loser, I wouldn¡¯t have shattered the nephrite bracelet worth fifty thousand, or the Cloud of Dragon bracelet worth two hundred thousand!¡± Li Shihan said, her face filled with contempt. ¡°Huh? Two hundred thousand?¡± Ding Hao was also taken aback. Over the phone, Li Shihan had only said that she was facing problems at the Tai He Gold Shop, and had not specified exactly what had happened. When he heard it, of course he was surprised. Chen Lin also looked anxious. She scolded Chen Hao immediately, ¡°Chen Hao, are you an idiot? What does Shihan getting hit have to do with you? Was there any need for you to get involved? Were you so bored that you had toe here? F*ck, what will you do now? Are you going to pay for this?¡± Chen Lin pointed at Chen Hao as she scolded him loudly. ¡°Buying two phones, how great you are! You¡¯re disgusting!¡± ¡°Ah, Chen Lin! Don¡¯t bother about this person anymore. Ding Hao, can you guys quickly help me figure out how I¡¯m going to pay for the ne?¡± Chen Hao was insulted by these two. Yet, he did not know how to retort. This was why Chen Hao felt sad. They hadn¡¯t kept in contact for just three years. Had their rtionship thinned so much? ¡°It¡¯s out! The results are out!¡± The female attendant ran over excitedly. Ding Hao, Li Shihan and the others immediately widened their eyes in surprise. ¡°Luckily, the Cloud of Dragon Jade bracelet was unharmed. You just have to pay for the nephrite bracelet, it¡¯s fifty thousand!¡± ¡°My God!¡± When Li Shihan heard this, the weight on her shoulders finally lightened and she nearly fainted from her intense worry from before. But here was the real problem. Fifty thousand was no small sum, so what could she do now? ¡°Ding Hao, Chen Lin, how much do you guys have? You have to help me!¡± Li Shihan was so anxious she almost cried. ¡°I have about thirty thousand here. Chen Lin, what about you?¡± ¡°Me? I have about five thousand!¡± Chen Lin said. ¡°I have about five thousand here, but this only adds up to forty thousand, we still need ten thousand more!¡± Li Shihan jumped in agitation. ¡°Never mind, I¡¯ll call my dad! I¡¯ll ask him to transfer ten thousand to me!¡± Ding Hao was feeling the pinch, but under the scrutiny of so many people, he would only embarrass himself if he said he had no money. The three of them went aside to make the call. ¡°Dad, just ten thousand! Just ten thousand more, isn''t the next batch of demolition fundsing in in the next few days? I really need the money right now, okay? Okay!¡± Ding Hao hung up the phone and heard a ping from his WeChat. The money was transferred. ¡°Alright, now we have enough!¡± Ding Hao smiled. There was no need to mention how much Li Shihan looked up to Ding Hao right now. In fact, she felt that as long as Ding Hao was there, she felt safe. She had even made the decision that she was not going to marry anyone who wasn¡¯t Ding Hao in this life. And Chen Lin? Seeing Ding Hao spend forty thousand on Li Shihan, Chen Lin felt a bit unhappy. She was a girl after all. Seeing such a prestigious and sessful man like him, it was hard not to feel jealous. ¡°Right, sir. Please give me this broken jade bracelet, it can still be worn after some fixing! Pack it for me, I¡¯ll take it away!¡± Ding Hao held his phone as he spoke to the manager. ¡°Sure, sir.¡± The manager smiled bitterly as he shook his head. Ding Hao and the others took the broken jade bracelet, checking to see if it could be fixed. At this time, the female attendant walked over with two beautiful boxes. ¡°Mr. Chen, I¡¯m sorry for making you wait for so long. These two jade bracelets are packaged and ready to go!¡± the female attendant said respectfully to Chen Hao. Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Sorry for the trouble.¡± And he took the boxes from her hands. Chapter 181 Is It Them? Chapter 181 Is It Them? ¡°F*ck!¡± ¡°What?¡± Seeing Chen Hao hold the two boxes and prepare to leave, Li Shihan and Chen Lin were shocked. These two jade bracelets scared Li Shihan nearly to death. Things had just settled after some difficulty, and they had just released a sigh of relief. To think that these jade bracelets were bought by Chen Hao? Li Shihan felt as if someone had put a firecracker in her head, and it exploded until her brain was nk. Chen Lin and Ding Hao¡¯s eyes widened. Especially Chen Lin, who lost her grip on the other half of the jade bracelet and dropped it on the floor, where it shattered once more. ¡°Hold on, Chen Hao! These two jade bracelets are yours?¡± Li Shihan said, taken aback. Without a word, Chen Hao took his jade bracelets and walked away. This time, he was really angry. Why would he still talk to them? ¡°Hmph! Who knows if he was the one who bought them? Enough, Shihan, Chen Lin, let¡¯s go somewhere to eat.¡± Ding Hao didn¡¯t back down either. F*ck, he had unexpectedly gotten smacked in the face by Chen Hao again. He spent so much money today just because he wanted to blow Li Shihan away first. But now, the situation was a bit dire! That was why Ding Hao quickly shifted their attention to himself again. ¡°What is this? What if it really was Chen Hao who bought them? Where did he get the money?¡± They walked out of the gold shop. Li Shihan¡¯s heart was in turmoil, and she hated it. Just like Chen Lin, she felt as though her heart had been grasped tightly by someone, and it hurt a little. They were also very scared that this was real. Even more scared than they were before. ¡°Here, how about we call him back and have a meal with him. We can properly ask him about this. Also, you all saw when Chen Hao bought a phonest time. He¡¯s really rich! We have to know what¡¯s going on!¡± Chen Lin gave her opinion. ¡°Exactly, that¡¯s what I was thinking. But with how we treated him just now, will hee back?¡± Li Shihan said worriedly. ¡°Rx, leave it up to me. Ding Hao, shall we take a proper look into this situation?¡± Chen Lin asked Ding Hao, who wore a dark expression. ¡°Yeah, sure, no problem. It¡¯s just a meal. You guys call him then.¡± Ding Hao felt a little torn, but he also wanted to know what was going on. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Before, Ding Hao saw Ma Fei as his most powerful rival. As for when Li Shihan and the others talked about almost getting together with Chen Hao in high school, Ding Hao had never seen Chen Hao as apetitor. But he realized, this poor boy was his truest rival! Hearing the way Li Shihan and Chen Lin spoke about him was enough to know. After discussing, Chen Lin called Chen Hao. Chen Hao was still walking, when he took his phone out, he saw it was Chen Lin who called. Chen Lin still had Chen Hao¡¯s contact information from their fellow meal from before. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao, where are you? It¡¯s like this¡ªjust now, it was a little inexcusable of us. I¡¯m calmer now and realized that we weren¡¯t right for treating you that way!¡± ¡°Me, too! I was too brash just now!¡± Li Shihan yelled into the phone hurriedly. ¡°Yeah, Li Shihan and I felt sorry and wanted to treat you to a meal and apologize to you properly, and talk about old times!¡± Chen Lin said. Chen Haoughed bitterly. If he hadn¡¯t taken those two jade bracelets with him, then he guessed that they wouldn¡¯t have apologized, let alone ''talk about old times''. To be honest, it was just because of money. If you had money, others would want to talk about old times with you. If you had no money, if someone even remembered your name meant you were well off! And if you had money, you could possibly even have a future with Li Shihan. Hehe! ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, it¡¯s nothing major.¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t feel like going. ¡°No way, Chen Hao. You have toe! Do you see us as below you? You think this bunch of high school ssmates are below you? True, you got into Jin Ling College. These regr, average students probably don¡¯t matter to you. I see how it is!¡± Chen Lin said without skipping a beat. ¡°I don¡¯t mean it that way. Okay, then let¡¯s have a meal!¡± Chen Hao was speechless. But since they wanted a meal, it wasn¡¯t like he would lose anything. It would also save any gossip that they would make about him in the future. Let¡¯s see what they say! So Chen Hao went back. They didn¡¯t eat at Commercial Street, instead they went to a regr restaurant next to it. Li Shihan ordered quite a few delicious dishes for Chen Hao. ¡°Brother, tell us quickly. How are you so rich now?¡± After beating around the bush, in the end Chen Lin and Li Shihan still came upon the topic they were most concerned about. ¡°Rich? When have I been rich, I have no money!¡± Seeing their expressions, Chen Hao felt likeughing and also felt like joking with them, so he answered simply. Pig knuckles and whatnot, he stuffed them into his mouth along with rice. ¡°Pfft! You¡¯re quite mischievous, who could tell, Chen Hao? You can act pretty well!¡± Chen Lin was an art student, and had a more open personality. As she spoke, she pinched Chen Hao¡¯s thigh. ¡°I-I¡¯m really not rich!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Hmph. Not rich? If you aren¡¯t rich then how did you buy a phone that cost fifty to sixty thousand? Also, you say you have no money, but today you bought two jade bracelets. That¡¯s two hundred and fifty thousand! Who are you lying to?¡± Chen Linmented jokingly. Li Shihan also looked at Chen Hao, her eyes wide. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re talking about the phone and jade bracelets. That¡¯s not my money. I was just running errands for other people! Speaking of which, I have to hurry up and send these things!¡± Chan Hao really didn¡¯t want to talk about it. He just told them a lie, at worst, they¡¯d just be strangers in the future. That was not bad either. ¡°Huh? What? So it really isn¡¯t yours?¡± Chen Lin and Li Shihan faced each other, the weight in their hearts finally dissipated. ¡°Li Shihan, pass me the pig trotters. I can¡¯t reach it!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°F*ck! Trotters? Are you a pig? You already ate so much, and you¡¯re still eating. Look at how useless you are!¡± Li Shihan folded her arms as she spoke coldly. Right, f*ck. I thought you were sessful now, and even treated you to a meal. In the end, you¡¯re just someone¡¯sckey? Chen Lin also moved away from Chen Hao. She said coldly, ¡°Chen Hao,st time despite being poor, you were still good at studies, so I thought you were still of some use. Now, I feel like you¡¯re just useless!¡± From Xiao Ge, to Chen Hao once more. ¡°Didn¡¯t we say before? Later on, when we¡¯re all at Jin Lin, we can help each other out! You guys mix with a better crowd than I do, so just give me a hand. We have been high school ssmates for three years after all!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Lord, but what can you help us with? What do you know? Don¡¯t talk about high school, I have never even talked to you before. Talk to Li Shihan instead. Didn¡¯t you two nearly be a thing back then? Li Shihan liked you too!¡± Chen Lin purposely said this for Ding Hao to hear. Li Shihan definitely understood what she meant. ¡°Chen Lin, what do you mean? What do you mean, I liked Chen Hao? When have I ever liked him?!¡± Li Shihan tossed her chopsticks down angrily. Watching the two good friends who were about to start arguing, Ding Hao could only sit there and try to defuse the argument. Ding Hao felt helpless. To be handsome and rich, is it my fault? Chen Hao didn¡¯t care either, continuing to eat as if he were enjoying a show. All of a sudden, the booth¡¯s door was pushed open and a few policemen walked in. ¡°Is it them?¡± A policeman pointed at Chen Hao and asked coldly. Chapter 182 Don’t Look Down Upon the Poor Chapter 182 Don¡¯t Look Down Upon the Poor At this moment, a few policemen walked toward them and pointed at them while inquiring. ¡°It¡¯s them!¡± A boy with bandages on his head walked out from behind the policemen and pointed at Ding Hao fiercely while shouting. Chen Hao finally had a clear look at this person. It was none other than Ma Fei! The situation was clear now. After Ma Fei was beaten up by Ding Hao, he had treated his wounds, and he must have reported to the police afterward. It seemed the policemen tracked them down after checking Jin Ling Commercial Street¡¯s security monitoring system. After all, Ding Hao booked a room in a hotel near Jin Ling Commercial Street. ¡°Alright. All of you,e with us now!¡± The policemen instructed coldly. Ding Hao, Li Shihan and the others were flustered upon hearing that. Although Ding Hao felt powerful now, he felt rather guilty for hitting someone. Nheless, he mustered his courage and said, ¡°Fine. At worst, I¡¯ll be freed after two hours!¡± ¡°What a high-sounding sentiment. I¡¯m looking forward to knowing how you will be freed in two hours after you hit my brother!¡± Suddenly, a woman walked toward them with crossed arms and spoke arrogantly. ¡°Sister, he is the one who hit me!¡± Ma Fei stood meekly behind the woman. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve informed the colonel about this. He will surely serve justice for you!¡± The woman consoled him. Her words showed that Ma Fei¡¯s family had connections with the higher-ups. Things were not that simple. Ding Hao was even more anxious now. Li Shihan also did not expect that Ma Fei had a powerful sister. On the other end, the woman gave a cold nce at Ding Hao and scanned the faces of the others who ate with him. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrow and asked in astonishment, ¡°Chen Hao?! Why are you here?¡± Chen Hao was also astounded. This woman in front of them was the cousin of Ma Xiaonan¡ªMa Xiaoyun. It was even more surprising that Ma Fei was rted to Ma Xiaoyun. Chen Hao knew that Ma Xiaoyun did not have a biological brother. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. If that was the case, both parties were not strangers to him. On one end were his high school friends, while on the other end were the rtives of Ma Xiaonan. Chen Hao could not help but smile bitterly. ¡°Yes, we came here for a meal.¡± ¡°That¡¯s how it is? How can you eat with the people who hit my brother? It seems like you, a poor loser, is involved too. It¡¯s such a waste that I cared for you in the past!¡± Ma Xiaoyun sulked. To be honest, Ma Xiaoyun was displeased when Chen Hao left earlier before finishing the meal when she and her cousin treated Chen Hao and the rest to a feast. What made her even more embarrassed that day was, she nned to let her high school friends make an impressive show of their prestige. But for unknown reasons, Ma Xiaonan¡¯s girl friends kept whispering to each other,pletely ignoring her friends. In short, it was an embarrassing meal. Naturally, Ma Xiaoyun med the ignorant Chen Hao as the culprit. Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other today. ¡°He was at the scene when I was getting beaten up!¡± Ma Fei added with a snort. ¡°Enough talking. You¡¯ll have plenty of time to talk in the police stationter on. All of you,e with us now!¡± The policemen brought all of them to the police station. Chen Hao was glum, sulking at the bad luck he had. But there was nothing he could say now. When they arrived at the police station, they had to record a confession. Since the police had already gotten the CCTV footage, Ding Hao had no choice but to admit his guilt. After that, they were all brought into a small room to wait for the officer¡¯s decision. ¡°What should we do, Ding Hao? Do you think that I will have a record too? But I just passed my teaching exam and I haven¡¯t even gotten hired yet. If I have a criminal record, the school will surely expel me!¡± In the confined room, Chen Lin gasped anxiously. ¡°I don¡¯t know. We are at fault now as we hurt someone and there is conclusive evidence. What¡¯s more, who knew that Ma Fei¡¯s sister was this powerful!¡± Li Shihan was also panicking now because Ma Xiaoyun was obviously not a woman to mess with. Even Ding Hao¡¯s face was ashen, pacing back and forth like a nervous fawn. Li Shihan was disappointed at this sight. She was told a little about Ma Fei¡¯s sister¡¯s background just now, that she was a prestigious woman in Jin Ling, and had her connections. This showed that Ma Fei had a prestigious background as well. After considering these, Li Shihan started to repent if she was too cruel to Ma Fei. What if Ma Fei¡¯s achievements surpassed Ding Hao in the future? After all, Ding Hao was only good at boasting, but Ma Fei was certainly a capable person. The more Li Shihan thought, the more she was frustrated. Why?! I only had feelings toward three boys. The first one was Chen Hao, but he was passed in the early stage because he was not up to my standards. The second one was Ma Fei while the third one was Ding Hao! At this moment, Li Shihan was tangled up in her thoughts. ¡°Alright, enough talking. I¡¯ve informed my father. He will certainly think of an idea for me. And don¡¯t worry, this won¡¯t be on your records.¡± Ding Hao scratched his head andforted her. ¡°Ma Fei surely won¡¯t agree to make this case private. You will have this on your records in this situation!¡± Chen Hao suddenly interrupted. ¡°Damn, we don¡¯t want to hear a word from your jinxing mouth. Really, anyone who meets you will be unlucky!¡± Chen Lin berated crudely. ¡°Enough, Chen Lin. What¡¯s the point of scolding him now? Let him say whatever he wants. Anyhow, the ones involved in the fight are me and Ding Hao, so Chen Hao must have onlye to watch us be humiliated!¡± Li Shihan rolled her eyes andined. Soon, Ding Hao¡¯s father came. Both parties were brought to the interrogation room for a meeting, and the police would mediate the dispute. Ding Hao¡¯s father had his own connections. After all, he would never seek help from themercial group when it was just a matter of his son hitting someone. If he did, everyone would look down upon him. Therefore, he used his own connections to mediate. However, the victim had a powerful background as well, so both parties were caught in a deadlock now. After all, no matter who fought first, the person that was injured seriously was the victim. ¡°Father, think of something please. I don¡¯t want to have this on my record. If my reputation is tarnished, my future will be destroyed!¡± Ding Hao was devoured by fear at this point, ¡°Me too! Sir, you¡¯ve seen that I am only following them. I didn¡¯t hit anyone. Most importantly, I am a teacher, so please don¡¯t file this in my record!¡± Chen Lin pleaded. She then looked at Ma Fei and said, ¡°Ma Fei, we were friends in the past. Did you forget that?¡± ¡°Of course I didn¡¯t! You are also involved with Li Shihan¡¯s cheating! My sister will surely ascertain the responsibilities of all of you in this matter!¡± Ma Fei snorted and said firmly. Ding Hao¡¯s father sighed and furrowed his eyebrows while saying, ¡°Ms. Ma Xiaoyun, I know that you have extensive connections, but I don¡¯t rmend you driving others to despair on certain issues. After all, I know some people in Jin Ling Commercial Group. Do you wish to let people from the group ¡°Don¡¯t ever use the people from themercial group to pressure me. Do you think that I don¡¯t have my own powerful backers?¡± Ma Xiao Yun crossed her arms. Ding Hao¡¯s father clenched his teeth and started to contact the people from themercial group. Meanwhile, Ma Xiaoyun also contacted Ma Xiaonan. Why? Because Ma Xiaonan told her the story of the incidentst time. Ma Xiaonan said that a white-haired man led a group of people, driving seven or eight Maybachs to rescue them. ¡°Is this Ma Xiaonan? I have a favor to ask you. Don¡¯t you have the number of the man who saved you can seek his assistance if you have any issues? We need his help now!¡± ¡°Hello, Mister Li. It¡¯s me, I am the ountant of Yunmeng Mountain. During our previous meal together, didn¡¯t President Li mention that I can seek his assistance when¡­ Yes, I have a problem now!¡± Both of them showed their ultimate connections. Chen Lin and Li Shihan were stupefied at the sight. Damn, they did not know that both Ding Hao and Ma Fei had such prestigious backgrounds! They thought that Ma Fei was just an underling who could only struggle at the lowest rank. But now, his sister was connected to someone who had a Maybach motorcade. Li Shihan felt that she had missed an opportunity! She finally understood the saying, ''Life has its ups and downs, so don¡¯t look down on a poor young man!'' Chapter 183 Chen Hao’s Mysterious Identity Chapter 183 Chen Hao¡¯s Mysterious Identity After both parties hung up their calls, they waited in a stalemate. As for the police, they were unable to proceed with the case in this situation. After this battle was over, they could decide to settle the matter in court or out of court. Who is stronger than the other? Li Shihan was dithering in her heart. She was wavering between Ding Hao and Ma Fei who was still gazing at her with infatuation. She was in aplex dilemma. Suddenly, a flurry of footsteps could be heard from the guard room. The footsteps were rapid, and it seemed that there were many people. ¡°Father, is it President Li?!¡± Ding Hao was energized. ¡°Very unlikely. President Li and the others won¡¯t handle this kind of matter personally,¡± Ding Hao¡¯s father said softly. At this moment, the door was opened. A group of middle-aged men in police uniform walked into the room. ¡°Political Commissar Zhao, Director Liu!¡± The two policemen saluted immediately. Behind them, there stood a group of extraordinary people. ¡°Political Commissar Zhao, I am the one who contacted President Li!¡± Ding Hao¡¯s father could not suppress his shivers of excitement when he saw them. ¡°Director Liu, we are the victim. We have contacted Ms. Ma Xiaonan, for the one who got beaten up is Ms. Ma Xiaonan¡¯s brother!¡± Ma Xiaoyun took a deep breath. When Ma Xiaonan said that she was rescued by a powerful man who had seven or eight Maybachs, she did not believe herpletely. But now, it seemed that her cousin had more power than her. Even Political Commissar Zhao and Director Liu stepped in! Therefore, both parties dered where they stood to the two leaders. ¡°What President Li and what brother? Wang, have you inquired about the whole situation clearly?¡± Zhao Gang asked. ¡°Yes! It started when Ma Fei picked a fight and caused trouble at Tai He Gold Shop, and beat Li Shihan. Then Li Shihan called her friends to beat Ma Fei.¡± ¡°It seems that neither of you are able to tolerate each other. Then let¡¯s skip both settlements in court and out of court. We¡¯ll settle this case ording to the normal legal procedures, which are administrative detention plus punishment! Detain all those who caused trouble!¡± Zhao Gang ordered coldly. Both parties were astounded by this oue. ¡°What do you mean? Didn¡¯t youe to help us?¡± Ma Xiaoyun did not expect that her determination would cause her brother to be detained! How did this happen? Wasn¡¯t this her sister¡¯s power? If it wasn¡¯t, Political Commissar Zhao and Director Liu wouldn¡¯t appear for this small matter! ¡°You must be Mr. Chen Hao.¡± Following that, the few people looked around the room and set their eyes on Chen Hao. ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Chen Hao nodded. In actuality, Chen Hao had contacted General Director Huang Weimin, when he was in the police car just now, and told him the ins and outs of the incident. After all, it was not an inside story, and he was not involved in this matter at all. Initially, he only nned to let Huang Weimin inform the police. It was unexpected that Political Commissar Zhao and Director Liu would handle this matter personally. ¡°You are just an eyewitness. You are not involved in this case, so you can go back now.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave this to you.¡± Chen Hao did not say anything else and left under the bbergasted stares of the others. By this point, everyone realized that all these higher-ups came for the sake of Chen Hao. Because right after Chen Hao left, they did not even bother to care for the people in the room and followed Chen Hao out. ¡°Oh my god!¡± Ma Xiaoyun was embarrassed and shocked at the same time. Li Shihan and Chen Lin felt the same as well. They were all in great astonishment. Chen Hao¡¯s connections were clearly stronger than Ding Hao¡¯s father and Ma Fei¡¯s sister judging from the attitude of the higher-ups toward Chen Hao. Who was Chen Hao exactly? This question appeared in their hearts simultaneously. The weight which was lifted off their hearts was once again pressuring them. Ma Xiaoyun did not expect that she would be embarrassed just like this! At the same time, nervousness crept into her heart. All three women were afraid that Chen Hao was actually the big boss! Meanwhile, Chen Hao was out of the police station. To his surprise, General Director Huang Weimin from the Business Management Division was waiting for him in the car outside the police station. Despite his astonishment, he got into the car. Huang Weimin asked teasingly, ¡°Young Master Chen, why are you detained when you are just an ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. eyewitness?¡± He was talking about Ma Xiaoyun one-sidedly associating him as her aplice. Cough! It was not a decent story as it involved some gratitude and grudges. Therefore, Chen Hao gave some perfunctory answers. ¡°Oh right! Young Master Chen, I have a small issue here. I¡¯m not sure if it¡¯s appropriate for me to mention it.¡± Huang Weimin said in a jovial tone while driving Chen Hao back to the college. Chen Hao had quite a good impression of Huang Weimin. He was a leader who was devoted to developing and growing Jin Ling¡¯smercial status to a higher stage. Hence, Chen Hao would usually grant whatever he requested. ¡°Well, not long ago, our Business Management Division received a task, which is to strengthen urban and rural economic development. The Business Management Division must of course cooperate and have something to show for it. Thus, I n tounch a pilot project in the counties and towns!¡± ¡°I have already troubled you many times, so I invested in otherrge organisations. All of them are in agreement. However, Haishan Group suddenly copsed a few days ago and many of the rted enterprises were affected. The investment has all gone to waste overnight!¡± Huang Weimin smiled bitterly. Chen Hao did not know if he should cry orugh, because Haishan Group was actually destroyed by him. And it indeed affected many people. ¡°That¡¯s why I came up with a n, Young Master Chen. I¡¯ve been informed that your hometown is a small town in Ping An County below Jin Ling. I¡¯ve made some research on that ce and I found out that the transportation is good and the location is strategic. If you are willing to invest and develop enterprises there, the economy of Ping An County can be boosted in just a few years. Of course, we will provide financial and resource aid on our side!¡± Huang Weimin was asking for Chen Hao¡¯s opinion. Chen Hao agreed naturally. The examination would end in seven days. After the examination, Chen Hao would be free for a few months, which could be used to develop all his projects. Actually, Chen Hao had been nning to develop the economy of his hometown and he was thinking of telling Huang Weimin his nster. But now, he indirectly destroyed Huang Weimin¡¯s initial investment n. So Chen Hao had no reason to reject his small request. Anyway, it would only cost a small amount of money. Therefore, he agreed to the request on the spot. After Chen Hao reached his dorm, he put down the jade bracelet he bought. Yang Hui, Li Rui and the rest were revising for the examination in the dorm. Right at this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. It was from his sister, Chen Xiao. Chen Hao left the dorm and walked to the public bathroom because it was inconvenient and inconsiderate to answer the call in the dorm. Calcting the days, his sister was supposed to arrive today. Chen Hao had been nning to call her for a long time. Right after Chen Hao left the dorm, five of them who were initially studying put down the books in their hands immediately. One of them even stood by the door as a look-out. ¡°Yang Hui, check what Chen Hao bought this time quickly. Damn, if the guesses of Xu Xia and Zhao Yifan are verified, then Chen Hao is confirmed to be Young Master Chen. We as his best friends will be benefitted as well!¡± Li Ruiughed delightedly. Anyway, it was normal for roommates to steal each other¡¯s food and go through each other¡¯s belongings. All of them including Chen Hao did it several times. There was nothing to feel guilty for. Most importantly, they were all curious about Chen Hao¡¯s identity now! ¡°Yes, I hope that Xu Xia¡¯s guess was right!¡± Yang Hui scratched his head as he said with augh. If that was true, Yang Hui would sincerely be happy for Chen Hao. At this moment, Yang Hui¡¯s phone notified him of a WeChat video call request. He picked up the phone and saw that it was from Xu Xia. ¡°Yang Hui! Is Chen Hao back?!¡± ¡°He¡¯s back, then he went to the public bathroom. And he brought back two bags of things which seem extraordinary!¡± ¡°Really? Let me see!¡± The one who answered was not Xu Xia, instead it was her roommates. Even Zhao Yifan was watching curiously. They could not sleep soundly before confirming Chen Hao¡¯s identity. Especially Zhao Yifan, she felt that her days were like years and each day was just a torture for her. Should she apologize to Chen Hao ande to good terms with him? Since Su Tongxin was not here now, perhaps they had a chance to resume their rtionship! But what if Chen Hao was not Young Master Chen, but a loser instead? Zhao Yifan was almost driven insane by this question. ¡°Li Rui, lend me a hand! Let¡¯s see what Chen Hao bought this time!¡± Chapter 184 Tasks Assigned by Sister Chapter 184 Tasks Assigned by Sister ¡°Look at this! What an exquisitely made jade bracelet!¡± When they opened the packaging, everyone was astonished. Their surprise grew even greater when they saw the receipt that Chen Hao brought back. These two items cost more than two hundred thousand! ¡°Let us see it too!¡± Lin Jiao requested while jumping in excitement on the other end. Yang Hui and Li Rui showed the jade bracelet to the camera for them to see, while the other roommates observed the packaging in admiration. Even these two boxes appeared to be costly. At this point, everyone believed that Chen Hao must have gotten rich, definitely. Suddenly, the boy at the door shouted, ¡°Chen Hao ising back! Quick, put it back!¡± Yang Hui ended the video call immediately while the others ced the box in its original position. Just right after they put the jade bracelet back into the box, Chen Hao opened the door. He was baffled to see all his roommates standing there while staring at him. Feeling perplexed, he asked in a joking tone, ¡°What are you looking at? Is there money on my face?¡± ¡°Chen Hao, tell us frankly. Are you really rich now?¡± Yang Hui inquired curiously. ¡°What do you mean? How could I be rich?¡± Chen Hao replied reflexively. ¡°Damn! Are you still trying to hide it from us? Guys, beat him!¡± Yang Hui and the others pounced on Chen Hao and pushed him onto the bed. They took off his pants, smacked his buttocks and did all the silly punishments on Chen Hao. ¡°Alright, I surrender! Yes, yes, yes! I am rich now!¡± Chen Hao could not conceal it anymore. His actions and behavior during this period of time had caught the attention of Yang Hui, Li Rui and the rest. Indeed. How could a poor student be so wealthy overnight? Not only did he be wealthy, he obviously had great influence. Initially, Chen Hao did not wish to tell Yang Hui and the rest the truth because he was afraid that their friendship would be affected. But in this situation, although he did not want to reveal that he was Young Master Chen, they must have guessed it. Therefore, Chen Hao could only admit that he was wealthy now. As for how he became rich and his true identity, he would never admit it verbally. Yang Hui and the rest could not force him to admit all of it. At the end of the day, despite the jokes and teases, they were all happy for Chen Hao. And Chen Hao was determined for them to help each other in their future careers. After that, Yang Hui and the rest coerced Chen Hao to ept their ns for the next few days in the college. In the past, they had helped Chen Hao a lot, so it was reasonable for Chen Hao to repay their deeds by treating them to meals. After Chen Hao and the restpleted their revision, they went out to have some fun and indulge in gluttony. They then went back to the dorm to rest. As for the matter of Chen Hao¡¯s sistering to Jin Ling, we must rewind back to the time Chen Hao went to the bathroom. When Chen Hao got to the public bathroom after he left the dorm, he contacted Chen Xiao and inquired when she would arrive so that he could fetch her. But Chen Xiao said that she canceled the trip to Jin Ling. ¡°Chen Hao, we have an important guest now. Father asked me to apany him, so I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t make it to Jin Ling. Father informed me to call and tell you.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Hao was slightly disappointed. After all, he missed his sister. ¡°Do you remember that father had arade-in-arms who was his best friend when we were in the old house in Jin Ling?¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Yes, I remember that.¡± It was a long story. Some things were only told during the previous call with their father. Their father said that the Chen Family had a tradition where they would raise their sons and daughters in poverty to educate them. Naturally, their father was not an exception. Back in the days when their father was raised in poverty, he did not pass the college entrance examination. So, their grandfather pressured him to join the army. And that was when he met his After returning from being enlisted in the army for two years, their father cultivated thend to grow crops in his hometown. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. After all, he was penniless that time. He used the retirement fees to open a steamed bun stall in the town. Unfortunately, he poked his nose into other people¡¯s matters and maimed a thief. So, he had to use the steamed bun stall topensate the thief. He even borrowed arge sum of money and was heavily in debt. At that time, he did not even have money for the New Year, so he sought help from hisrade-in- arms. Thisrade-in-arms came from the county town and was wealthy. Both of his parents were civil servants, so it was natural that they lived afortable life. He visited thisrade¡¯s house in the country town several times ording to the address he gave, but were all fruitless trips because thisrade said he was not free to meet him. Atst, he did not even get to meet thisrade in person. He was quite disheartened at that time. When they were best buddies and had the closest friendship, they even promised to continue their rtionship to their next generation. If they both had a boy, their sons would be brothers; if they had a boy and a girl, they would be made husband and wife. But it seemed that all of these were just jokes. From that day onward, they rarely contacted each other. Until their father reached his 22nd birthday, their grandfather told him that he was actually a son from a wealthy family. After that, their father was brought out of the small ce to build his business and finally inherited the family. After giving birth to his sister and him, their parents returned to the hometown while continuing their careers remotely. At the same time, they began their poverty education on his sister and him. Of course, Chen Hao only remembered that it was his neighbors, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, who took care of him while his parents were working overseas to repay the debt. Their parents would only return to visit his sister and him twice or thrice a year. That was the general story of the past. They met therade-in-arms again when Chen Hao was in his junior high school. During the transition to senior high school, he was brought by his father to meet thatrade again to request if he could arrange for him to attend a good school. After all, his results were pretty good. However, they only met therade in the parking lot of therade¡¯s house. Therade diverted the topic by saying he was busy for a meeting and they should catch up some other time. In the end, Chen Hao got into one of the best schools based on his own results. His impression of his father¡¯srade was limited up to this point. That man seemed to be working in the system and had extraordinary status. It was only natural that he looked down upon Chen Hao¡¯s family. ¡°What about that, sister?¡± Chen Hao withdrew his thoughts and asked. ¡°Well, father has been talking about how he misses his old friend. You know that father is indifferent to fame and fortune. Although his old friend looked down upon him in the past, father is still reminiscing about their rtionship. He¡¯s one of a kind. Now that our education in poverty is over, and father can¡¯t visit them personally because of his identity, I can¡¯t meet them too, so you are the only person who can take on this task.¡± ¡°Although you¡¯ll be staying in Jin Ling to get your things done during this summer holiday, find some time to return home for a few days. Then, visit father¡¯s old friends on behalf of him. And there¡¯s another special friend that you need to visit. I¡¯ll courier an item to you at the time. The information of that special friend whom you¡¯ve never met is all in the parcel. It¡¯ll be great if you can visit them all. Just help us out if you can.¡± ¡°As for Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu who took care of us, help them to build a vi on the mountain, and give their son and daughter a big sum of money.¡± After giving all these instructions, Chen Xiao hung up the phone. Chen Hao was puzzled. Who was that special friend of his father? Chen Hao decided to shake the thoughts off his mind since he could not understand. He then went back to the dorm. And the story resumed to whatever happenedter. None of them continued to chatter that night. The next morning, Chen Hao brought his books to reserve a spot in the library as usual. There was quite a crowd. Chen Hao chose the seat beside the window again. As soon as he saw this ce, he thought of Qin Ya. This was where they first met. He wanted topensate her with a new jade bracelet, but she was nowhere to be found, and he did not have her contact number. Therefore, Chen Hao came to the library in hope that he could bump into her again. After Chen Hao sat down, he scanned across the library frequently. At the same time in the other corner of the library, there sat a group of five or six girls with extraordinary temperament. All of them were looking at Chen Hao. ¡°Who do you think that loser is looking for?¡± A girl smiled and asked while supporting her cheeks with her palm. Chapter 185 Having Breakfast With Qin Ya and Her Friends Chapter 185 Having Breakfast With Qin Ya and Her Friends ¡°Who knows. Didn¡¯t Qin Ya mention that Chen Hao had a nosebleed when he first met her because of her perfume? Hahaha! This is too funny to be real!¡± ¡°Indeed. Why haven¡¯t I met a guy who would have a nose bleed when he sees me? Am I right, Qin Ya? That¡¯s why I think Chen Hao is looking for Qin Ya!¡± The girls continued their chattering, while Qin Ya who sat at a side, could not help but blush. The previous incident in the library was indeed embarrassing for her. And now she felt even more shy when her friends teased her. They were studying just a moment ago. When suddenly, Zhao Tongtong nudged Qin Ya with her elbow and motioned her to look at the library entrance. At this moment, she saw Chen Hao walking in with a stack of revision materials in his hands while looking around. This scene roused the discussion of the girls. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao!¡± Zhao Tongtong shouted softly at this moment. The library was quiet, so Chen Hao heard her calls. He raised his head abruptly and saw Zhao Tongtong standing there, waving her hands to invite him over. Beside her were Qin Ya and her friends. Chen Hao was delighted to have finally met her. Therefore, he walked toward them at once. ¡°Chen Hao, what were you looking for when you walked into the library? Are your friends here in the library too?¡± Once he approached them, Zhao Tongtong asked in a jovial tone. ¡°What? Nope!¡± Chen Hao answered nervously. In his heart, he was embarrassed that they had been observing his every move since he came in. ¡°Then what are you looking for?¡± ¡°Hahaha! Oh I know, you are looking for Qin Ya, aren¡¯t you? You wanted to see if Qin Ya was here?¡± Zhao Tongtongughed behind her palms. ¡°I¡­¡± Chen Hao was rendered speechless. It was indeed embarrassing that someone had pointed out the intentions in his heart. Qin Ya raised her head and stared at him expectantly and inquisitively. She wanted to know if Zhao Tongtong was right. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m looking for Qin Ya. I want to give you a bracelet aspensation since I broke yoursst time,¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°What? You don¡¯t have to do that, Chen Hao. That bracelet was not expensive. It cost only a few ten thousand. In fact, I wanted to find you and express my gratitude!¡± Qin Ya was stunned for a moment upon hearing Chen Hao¡¯s words, but she quickly regained her senses and replied with a smile. She had meant every word she said without any hidden meaning. A few ten thousand was indeed a drop in the ocean, given Qin Ya¡¯s family background. Therefore, she spoke casually about it. ¡°Alright. Since you want to thank Chen Hao, and it¡¯s still early now. You haven¡¯t had your breakfast right, Chen Hao? There¡¯s a new breakfast cafe beside the college, let¡¯s have our breakfast there and have a chat!¡± Zhao Tongtong suggested while smiling. She then added, ¡°Chen Hao, here¡¯s an opportunity for you to treat six beautiful girls to breakfast. You better grab it!¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go then!¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°You don¡¯t need to treat us, Chen Hao. Today¡¯s breakfast is on me!¡± Qin Ya gave a heartyugh. After that, the girls left with Chen Hao. ¡°You girls should go first. I need to grab something from my dorm. I¡¯ll meet you girls there!¡± Chen Hao said after they left the library. He needed to retrieve the jade bracelet from the dorm and give it to Qin Ya as soon as possible. Then, he would not owe her anymore and they would be even. No doubt Qin Ya was stunning, but while her looks could capture a boy¡¯s heart with just a nce, Chen Hao¡¯s heart belonged only to Su Tongxin. He would feel guilty if he mingled too much with other girls. This was also the reason why Chen Hao was avoiding Zhao Yifan, Lin Jiao and the rest.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. When he reached the dorm, he picked up the jade bracelet along with the packaging that cost fifty thousand. He then rushed down to meet the girls after informing Yang Hui and the others who were still in bed. Meanwhile, the girls arrived at the breakfast cafe and found a nice spot. Once they sat down, Zhao Tongtong and the rest covered their mouths andughed. ¡°Qin Ya, I am hundred percent sure that Chen Hao likes you!¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s obvious. All of you might not know this, but I¡¯ve asked about him before. He is from the Literature Department and I heard that he is very poor!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal if he¡¯s poor? Qin Ya isn¡¯t someone whocks money. If anything, she can offer Chen Hao a job after they get married!¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Chen Hao is quite handsome as well!¡± ¡°Okay, enough! What are you talking about? What do you mean by ¡®after they get married¡¯? Chen Hao is an honest person. You can pull these jokes on me, but don¡¯t tease him like thister. Regardless of anything, Chen Hao had helped me once!¡± At this point, Qin Ya could not stand it anymore. Really, her friends could bber just about anything. It was getting more and more ridiculous. ¡°But Qin Ya, you have never been in a rtionship. Don¡¯t you want to know what it feels like?¡± Zhao Tongtong asked. ¡°So what if I had never been in a rtionship. I don¡¯t find you guys, who are more experienced, to be any better!¡± Qin Ya smiled bitterly. ¡°Qin Ya, what a coincidence! Are you guys having breakfast here too?¡± Suddenly, a boy interrupted the girl¡¯s talk as he walked toward them. His eyes shimmered when he saw Qin Ya and the girls. And he was holding a delicate box in his hands. ¡°Oh, Young Master Li! What brings you here?¡± Zhao Tongtong waved her hands gleefully while speaking in an ingratiating tone. The boy in front of them was the one who was tugging at Chen Hao at the infirmary that day¡ªYoung Master Li, Li Yue. Li Yue¡¯s family financial situation was decent. And his family ran a business. While he himself was driving a BMW 7 Series which cost around 800 thousand. In short, he was somewhat capable. Naturally, Zhao Tongtong and the girls looked up to him. After all, in any girls¡¯ eyes, the rest of their lives would be a bed of roses if they got married to Li Yue. However, Li Yue had been madly in love with Qin Ya and was pursuing her. Unfortunately, Qin Ya did not feel the same for him at all. ¡°What are you girls talking and joking about? I was just looking for you, Qin Ya. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here!¡± Li Yue smiled and sat on the chair that was reserved for Chen Hao, in an unduly familiar manner. ¡°We are discussing to scout out a boyfriend for Qin Ya since we are almost graduating. Young Master Li, do you have anyone suitable in mind?¡± Zhao Tongtong blinked her eyes and asked. ¡°Really? Then that depends on whether Qin Ya fancy me or¡ª¡± Li Yue was overjoyed. ¡°Enough. Let¡¯s not talk about this. Li Yue, why do you want to meet me?¡± Qin Ya interrupted abruptly, her smile vanished. ¡°Well, didn¡¯t your jade bracelet break yesterday? It¡¯s my fault for being reckless. So I bought a new one for you yesterday. Check it out and see if you like it or not.¡± Li Yue ced the jade bracelet on the table as he spoke. When they opened the box, Zhao Tongtong and the girls were astonished. ¡°Oh my God! This jade bracelet looks extraordinary. Young Master Li, how much did it cost?¡± Zhao Tongtong¡¯s high-pitched gasps attracted the attention of the girls who were having their meals here as well. They focused their gaze in their direction. Li Yue smiled bitterly and replied, ¡°You can guess it. If you guessed it right, I will get you one too!¡± Chapter 186 So Sorry, You Are Going To Be Humiliated Chapter 186 So Sorry, You Are Going To Be Humiliated On the other hand, Chen Hao had arrived too. And he had also brought along a bracelet. Although Qin Ya had turned down his gesture earlier, Chen Hao had thought it through. He would buy the girls breakfast, and the matter would be considered as settled. Therefore, Chen Hao was going to foot the bill by himself. As soon as he arrived, he saw Li Yue, who was interested in Qin Ya, there as well. Clearly, he brought her a present too. ¡°Chen Hao, over here!¡± Qin Ya paid no attention to Li Yue. Instead, her eyes were glued to the end of the staircase. When she saw Chen Hao, she waved at him with a smile. ¡°Why is he here too?¡± At the sight of Chen Hao, Li Yue¡¯s face immediately turned gloomy. Once in a while when Li Yue met with Qin Ya and the girls, he caught sight of Chen Hao. Judging from his attire, he decided that Chen Hao was not a threat to him. Nheless, it was clear that Chen Hao was on very good terms with Qin Ya now. ¡°Of course he has to be here. Qin Ya is buying this meal specially for Chen Hao. By the way, Young Master Li, you are sitting on Chen Hao¡¯s seat,¡± said Zhao Tongtong. ¡°Eh? Chen Hao, what is that thing in your hand?¡± ¡°I identally broke Qin Ya¡¯s jade bracelet yesterday when I failed to catch it. This is the one I bought her aspensation.¡± Chen Hao exined in a forthright manner. ¡°Chen Hao, haven¡¯t I already said that I don¡¯t need anypensation? Why did you still buy it? Why would you spend so much just topensate for a bracelet? It¡¯s not even your fault.¡± Qin Ya had heard from her housemates that the financial condition of Chen Hao¡¯s family was dire. And now, while he had helped her, she had caused him to spend a great amount of money. How could she not feel guilty about this? Moreover, Qin Ya didn¡¯t really mind the bracelet which cost only a few ten thousand. She got anxious at the moment and blurted out that sentence. ¡°Hmph, from the looks of this guy, I bet he couldn¡¯t have afforded that. Qin Ya, you¡¯re just overthinking. I¡¯m afraid this is just some cheap stuff from the night market which costs only a few bucks!¡± Li Yue taunted directly. ¡°Hahaha, of course we know that. Qin Ya¡¯s jade bracelet costs fifty thousand. Is it even possible that Chen Hao really spent fifty thousand to buy another one for Qin Ya?!¡± Zhao Tongtongughed out loud and said, ¡°Young Master Li, please reveal the price of your jade bracelet now. We really couldn¡¯t guess it right!¡± ¡°Very well, I will reveal it. Nothing much, it cost me only a hundred and twenty thousand.¡± After saying that, Li Yue shifted his gaze to Qin Ya to check on her response. However, Qin Ya¡¯s expression remained calm. As for the rest of the girls, they were all deeply shocked. ¡°Damn, a hundred and twenty thousand!¡± Zhao Tongtong eximed. The rest of the girls¡¯ mouths were wide open in shock. Even some other girls who were having breakfast at the cafe cast frequent nces toward them in astonishment. Exactly. Just by one look at the jade bracelet, one would know that it was not of the ordinary sort. It was even more shocking to hear the price. At that moment, everyone looked at Li Yue with a change of expression. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°Young Master Li, you are indeed very generous to Qin Ya!¡± One of the girlsmented with jealousy. After all, it was a present that cost a hundred twenty thousand. The guy had to be really rich to be able to afford that. How could any girl not be interested in this type of guy? Could any girl resist the temptation? ¡°Qin Ya, do you like it?¡± Li Yue enjoyed a great deal to be showered by everyone¡¯s admiration. He thought to himself, As cold-hearted as Qin Ya really was, I am sure she would be moved by my gesture this time? As for Qin Ya, she did not answer Li Yue. Instead, she was really annoyed by his presence. Li Yue was quite upset to receive such a cold response from Qin Ya. He turned his gaze toward Chen Hao, who had bought a jade bracelet too. ¡°Hehe, your name is Chen Hao, right? May we have a look at the bracelet you have bought for Qin Ya?¡± Li Yue thought to himself that it was probably because of Chen Hao that Qin Ya was being so cold to him. Therefore, he decided to target him. ¡°Forget about mine. It¡¯s no better than yours. There¡¯s no need to look at it.¡± Chen Hao stuck to the truth. He bought the jade bracelet at the price of fifty thousand for Qin Ya. It was of the same pattern as the broken one. Moreover, if he wanted to make someone as sarcastic as Li Yue eat his own words by proving the bracelet was genuine, it would not require much effort. However, Qin Ya and him were not even friends. Hence, Chen Hao had no intention to have much interaction with her in the future. After all, Su Tongxin was genuine with her feelings for him. He felt obligated to treat her well too. He did not see the need to get involved in a fight with Qin Ya¡¯s suitor. It would make him look silly. ¡°Exactly, Chen Hao. You don¡¯t have to be embarrassed. We won¡¯tugh at you. Take it out and show it to us now!¡± After saying that, Zhao Tongtong got hold of the box and ced it on the table without waiting for his response. The girls were very excited. Haha, it was not hard to imagine how stark the difference would be between a bracelet that cost a hundred twenty thousand and one that cost a few dors. It was just like the difference in wealth between the two guys. Right then, Zhao Tongtong opened up the box straightaway. As for Chen Hao, he lowered his head to get ready for the iing wave of mockery. After they were done with it, he woulde up with an excuse to leave. This whole matter would thene to an end. He was still waiting. Yet, he heard no words of sarcasm by Zhao Tongtong. He lifted up his head and saw that Zhao Tongtong was dumbstruck by the jade bracelet he bought. ¡°Chen Hao. . . Is this. . . Is this the jade bracelet that you have bought?¡± Zhao Tongtong and the rest of the girls had their mouths wide open. ¡°Damn, this looks like the Cloud of Dragon Jade Bracelet. I hade across this online, and the price is two hundred thousand!¡± ¡°Exactly. Could this be a replica? However, this looks too genuine to be a knock-off, judging from the colour of the jade.¡± ¡°Did I hear ¡®replica¡¯? It¡¯s easy to differentiate between the genuine and the fake ones for this type of jade bracelet. It¡¯s impossible to be replicated!¡± ¡°In that case, Chen Hao¡¯s jade bracelet that costs two hundred thousand is genuine!¡± If it weren¡¯t for the girls havinge across a real piece before, they would have never believed this one was genuine. As for Chen Hao, he was in utter bewilderment. Damn it, he was sure he took the box which was marked fifty thousand. As the pattern of the boxes looked simr, he deliberately wrote a five and a twenty in numerical figures on the boxes. However, the bracelet that cost two hundred thousand was put inside of this box which was marked fifty thousand. Damn it! Chen Hao¡¯s heart was in a turmoil. Everyone in the cafe was greatly shocked. Even the other girls, who were having their breakfast in the cafe, swarmed over to take a look. ¡°Let me have a look!¡± Qin Ya took hold of the jade bracelet in Zhao Tongtong¡¯s hand in astonishment. After scrutinizing the bracelet, Qin Ya stared at Chen Hao in shock. ¡°This is the real deal. It can¡¯t get more genuine than this. Chen Hao, did you really pay for this?¡± Chen Hao was at a loss of what to say. As for Li Yue who was standing beside, his face was flushed. He was absolutely humiliated as he did not see thising! ¡°Gosh, originally I had thought that you¡¯re quite an honest man. However, I did not expect you to put up an act. Let me ask you, did you deliberately put me in embarrassment by iming your bracelet was cheaper than mine?¡± Li Yue got angry as he was greatly humiliated. ¡°I¡­ I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I thought mine would be cheaper than yours. It¡¯s really beyond my expectations that it would turn out to be even more expensive than yours!¡± Chen Hao was not the least bit interested topete with him. He was speaking the truth. Then, he recalled something. After taking the two boxes, he did not return them. He was sure the two bracelets had been swapped. He had to ask Yang Hui and the gang about thister. However, what he said was no different than showing off. Li Yue got even more angry and embarrassed after listening to his words. ¡°Chen Hao, answer us now. Did you pay for it?¡± The girls, who were in shock, prompted excitedly. Chapter 187 Qin Ya’s invitation Chapter 187 Qin Ya¡¯s invitation ¡°My grandmother used to wear this bracelet. Because I own nothing else as valuable as this, I can only offer this as apensation...¡± Chen Hao came up with a lie. ¡°Damn, Chen Hao, do you have any idea how much it''s worth? Are you sure you won¡¯t regret giving it to Qin Ya? You can still take it back now!¡± The restlessness in Zhao Tongtong¡¯s heart finally dissipated. Damn, she was so shocked just now by the fact that Chen Hao was able to afford that Cloud of Dragon Jade Bracelet which was worth two hundred thousand. Could he be a rich guy trying to keep a low profile? In fact, Zhao Tongtong did not look down on him. To her, Chen Hao was just a loser. She just felt unconvinced if he were to transform into a rich guy all of a sudden. Luckily, he was not rich. ¡°I had no idea back then, but now I have realised it¡¯s true worth. I have no regrets. Qin Ya, just take it!¡± With that, he shoved the jade bracelet back to Qin Ya. Chen Hao had no choice but to go along with his lies seeing the awkwardness of the scene. He just could not take back what he had offered someone as a gift. As for Qin Ya, she was staring at Chen Hao with her eyes widened. This jade bracelet is extremely valuable. I bet this must be the most expensive thing from his family. Does he really want to give it to me just like this? At the thought of this, Qin Ya¡¯s heart was filled with warmth. As for Li Yue, he was exasperated. He was thrown into a humiliating situation that he did not expect to be in. It was especially awful as the girl he admired most was around. If he stayed on any longer, he would be in a much more embarrassing situation. Shooting a vicious re toward Chen Hao, Li Yue stomped off angrily. No doubt, Chen Hao was reluctant to stay there any longer too. He wanted a quick end to the matter. Therefore, he decided to skip breakfast. Otherwise, the scene would get even more awkward. With an excuse, he descended the stairs and left. ¡°Chen Hao, stop right there!¡± With the jade bracelet given by Chen Hao in her hand, Qin Ya made a dash downstairs. She put on a shy look before giving the jade bracelet back to Chen Hao and said, ¡°What do you mean by giving me this? Why do you give me your grandmother¡¯s bracelet? Moreover, my broken bracelet wasn¡¯t worth this much as well!¡± ¡°Ah? I mean nothing by that. Just take it as apensation!¡± It would simply be too embarrassing for him to even ask her whether she would like to exchange it with another bracelet that cost fifty thousand. ¡°What¡¯s that? This is the most valuable thing from your family. Moreover, your grandmother had left this bracelet to you. Surely she had meant it for her future granddaughter-inw. Why are you even giving me this? When you left earlier, did you know what Zhao Tongtong and the other girls said?¡± Qin Ya¡¯s face went slightly red. Being a ssy beauty, a lot of guys were interested in Qin Ya. However, only a handful of them had managed to move her heart. Qin Ya was not interested in Chen Hao right away after receiving the Cloud of Dragon Jade Bracelet from him. She was slightly moved by his gesture, but at the same time, an indescribable feeling grew in her heart toward Chen Hao who had helped her before. To her, Chen Hao was a very honest and genuine man. He was quite a rare breed. He was studious and very hardworking. She was really impressed by his personality. Chen Hao asked, ¡°What did Zhao Tongtong and the girls say?¡± ¡°I have no idea¡­¡± Qin Ya rolled her eyes at him before continuing, ¡°Anyway, please take this back. It¡¯s too valuable and I won¡¯t ept it.¡± ¡°Please keep it. We are going to graduate soon. When the next semester begins, there will be less opportunity to stay in school. I am afraid I won¡¯t have the chance topensate you then.¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Tehee! ¡± Qin Ya found his words hrious and said, ¡°Chen Hao, do you really hate the feeling of owing to others?¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Very well then, I will keep this in my possession first, and return it to you when you n to get married!¡± The corners of Qin Ya¡¯s mouth revealed a slight grin. ¡°Great!¡± Seeing that Qin Ya had finally epted his gift, he thought that the whole incident hade to an end. And so, he turned around and left. ¡°Hey hey hey, Chen Hao!¡± Qin Ya scurried over to catch up with him and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you even curious about how am I going to contact you when you are going to marry? Aren¡¯t you going to even ask for my number?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­ Very well, I will add you on WeChat. When I n to get married, I will inform you!¡± Chen Hao had no idea what else to say. He could not bring himself to turn her down and leave. After all, he would feel bad to embarrass her in this way. Hence, Chen Hao added Qin Ya on WeChat ording to her wish. It went without saying, the idea of such a beautiful girl falling in love with him had nevere across his mind. Even though they had added each other on WeChat, it was not guaranteed that they would start chatting with each other right away. Therefore, he did not think much about this. As for Qin Ya, she went back upstairs with the jade bracelet from Chen Hao. As the bracelet was put into a box without an outer packaging that would reveal any other information, the girlspletely N?velDrama.Org is the owner. believed Chen Hao¡¯s story. ¡°Qin Ya, did he refuse to take it back?¡± At the sight of Qin Ya, the girls raised the question whileughing. ¡°Hahaha, my guess is spot-on! I can guarantee that Chen Hao has fallen in love with you, Qin Ya. Also, it¡¯s not just a crush. It means a lot by giving you the most valuable thing from his family!¡± Zhao Tongtong made thement confidently. ¡°Exactly. Also, no one has paid attention to this but I noticed the way Chen Hao was looking at Qin Ya. He was so worried that Qin Ya would refuse the bracelet!¡± ¡°s, everyone knows that this kind of bracelet is usually reserved for the future wife of the son in a family. Haha, Chen Hao is quite a smart guy!¡± The other girls chimed in. ¡°Ok, enough you guys. Chen Hao¡¯s not asplicated as you all have described. Stop teasing him anymore in the future!¡± Qin Ya criticized with a bitter smile. ¡°Wow Qin Ya, you are already taking Chen Hao¡¯s side. Argh!!!! Qin Ya, are you¡­ ¡± Zhao Tongtong widened her eyes in feigned surprise. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Tongtong, I will buy three tes of buns for you and shove them all down your mouth so that you would stop talking!¡± The girls chatted andughed boisterously. Meanwhile, Chen Hao did not enter the library as it was already full by the time he arrived. Carrying the books, he decided to return to his dorm to study. Unexpectedly, when he was going to have lunch with Yang Hui and the gang, Qin Ya sent him a WeChat message. ¡°Chen Hao, where are you going to have lunchter?¡± Qin Ya asked. ¡°I¡¯ll be heading to the canteen with my roommates. What¡¯s going on?¡± Chen Hao was slightly taken aback by her message. ¡°Oh, you are with your roommates. I wanted to ask you out for a meal, since you have helped me twice before.¡± ¡°Twice?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You carried me to the infirmary, and even helped get rid of Li Yue who keeps pestering me. Haha, he was too embarrassed to even contact me. I am finally able to have a peaceful mind!¡± ¡°Cough cough. Actually, Li Yue is quite a good guy, and he likes you a lot!¡± ¡°What do you mean by that? Does that mean you¡¯ll give us your blessing if Li Yue and I be a couple?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mean that!¡± ¡°Even if you really mean it, I won¡¯t ept someone whom I have no feelings for. By the way, I will study at the libraryter and reserve a seat for you. Come join me during my revision, we can be study partners!¡± Staring at the message on the screen, Chen Hao had no idea how to reply. He was sure that Qin Ya had no feelings for him. However, he always felt uneasy whenever he was around Qin Ya. He was worried that he might fall in love with her one day. After pondering it over, he decided to keep a distance from her. In the end, he did not reply to her. He then went to have lunch at the canteen with Yang Hui and the gang. After lunch, he did not go to the library. Instead, he stayed back in his dorm to do his revision. In the blink of an eye, the day came to an end. Just then, Qin Ya sent him another message saying, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you show up? I have reserved a seat for you, and I have waited for you since 1.30pm. Were you busy with something?¡± Chapter 188 Self-reproach Chapter 188 Self-reproach ¡°The library was too crowded, so I decided to study in my dorm.¡± Chen Hao replied. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°Oh, we shoulde over earlier next time then. Whoever reaches the library first will reserve a seat for the other, deal?¡± ¡°Okay. I¡¯ve got to go. Talk to you next time!¡± After sending out the message, Chen Hao tossed his phone aside. Indeed, he was trying to avoid Qin Ya. Ever since he dated Su Tongxin, Chen Hao had put in much effort trying to keep a distance from other girls. After the exam ended, they would start the next semester. There would be a three-month discussion program held at school for Chen Hao¡¯s department. As for Qin Ya¡¯s department, they would probably look for an internship. And they would never see each other again. Most importantly, Chen Hao felt out of ce being in Qin Ya¡¯s social circle. Other than that, he had no other thoughts about the matter. Two days had passed just like that. Qin Ya had contacted Chen Hao every morning in the past two days. She told him that she had reserved him a seat at the library, and that she would wait for him to do their revision together. While Chen Hao made up different excuses to reject her invitations. Qin Ya had been trying to ask him out for a meal in order to express her gratitude to him. She knew he would be uneasy around Zhao Tongtong and the other girls. Therefore, there was even once when Qin Ya said that she would be alone in order to convince him to join her. Still, Chen Hao had turned her down with an excuse. It was only until three dayster did Qin Ya stop contacting him. It was as though she had vanished into thin air. Everything felt normal for Chen Hao. Other than studying and doing revision, he would talk about the recent happenings in his life with Su Tongxin. Everything in his life went on as usual. In the afternoon, Chen Hao went back to school from Li Zhenguo¡¯s ce, and stopped by the milk tea shop next to the entrance of the school to get some beverages for Yang Hui and the gang. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± At this moment, a girl¡¯s voice called out his name. He turned to his back and saw Zhao Tongtong. She was here for the milk tea too. When sheid her eyes on Chen Hao, her face was filled with surprise and annoyance at the same time. Back then, she would always joke around with Chen Hao every time she bumped into him. Currently, her face was filled with resentment when she saw him. Chen Hao was unfazed by this sudden change. At just the right time, his order was ready. Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°I will pay for the pretty girl next to me too!¡± ¡°Great!¡± The shop assistant replied to him with a heartyugh. ¡°No need for that. I didn¡¯t ask you to pay for it. Why are you being so nosy!¡± Zhao Tongtong shot a look of disdain at Chen Hao. ¡°Uhm¡­ ZhaoTongtong, did I do anything wrong?¡± Chen Hao asked in bewilderment. ¡°You really have no idea what you have done? Hmph, do you know how many times you have stood Qin Ya up?¡± With her brows furrowed, Zhao Tongtong chastised furiously. Cough, cough. Chen Hao had seen iting. Zhao Tongtong continued, ¡°Do you know that Qin Ya deliberately woke up twenty minutes earlier than she was supposed to every day, just to get seats at the library. When we asked her why she got up so early, she said that you would do your revision together with us in the future. As it turned out, you didn¡¯t show up even once after the seat had been reserved for you!¡± ¡°There was one time she even bought you some fruits after asking you out. ording to her, she had invited you to go to the library together. However, you didn¡¯t turn up again!¡± ¡°You have stood her up for two days in a row! Moreover, she also tried to buy you a meal. As she was worried that you would not get used to the food outside, she purposely ordered food from the canteen. She stopped us froming along as she was worried that we might make fun of you. Damn, even then, you stood her up again!¡± ¡°What are you trying to avoid? Why can¡¯t you just man up and ept her gesture with ease? Also, it¡¯s obvious to me that she likes you very much. We have no idea why she has feelings for you all of a sudden. However, you really let her down!¡± Zhao Tongtong sted out everything at one go. After listening to her, Chen Hao suddenly felt a sense of remorse growing in his heart. Indeed, he had turned Qin Ya down several times. Chen Hao assumed Qin Ya was just being friendly. Unexpectedly to him, she had meant everything she said. She actually went to order from the canteen after suggesting to buy him a meal. All of a sudden, Chen Hao felt sorry toward her. ¡°Do you know what Qin Ya thought of you? ¡°What?¡± ¡°She said that you are quite kind and honest. Despite being slightly dull, you are very adorable. She was very curious about you, and said that you were the only male friend of hers that she would like to get closer to. Look what happened in the end? Pugh! Even now, you¡¯re acting all indifferent when Qin Ya is in trouble, and you still have the mood to buy milk tea for me?! Qin Ya was indeed interested in the wrong guy!¡± After she finished her reproach, Zhao Tongtong felt so much better. As for Chen Hao, he was slightly taken aback. ¡°Is Qin Ya in trouble now?¡± ¡°She is not the one who¡¯s in trouble. I slipped up just now. It¡¯s her mother, who has a terminal illness. Now that I have mentioned this, I am even more angry. That afternoon before yesterday, Qin Ya had packed food from home and invited you to join her for lunch. She waited for you at the canteen, however, you didn¡¯t turn up again. At that moment, she received a call from her family saying that her mother had fainted. Shortly after, Qin Ya applied for leave and left.¡± ¡°Also, we have realized that you do not see Qin Ya as a friend at all. Then why would you give such an expensive bracelet to her as a gift?¡± Zhao Tongtong cast a disgusted nce at Chen Hao. When her order was ready, she paid for it and left. As for Chen Hao, he stood rooted to the spot. An indescribable pain rose up in his heart. Definitely, no romance was involved in this. He felt bad because Qin Ya really saw him as a true friend. Looking back, he did not take her seriously. Up until the day her family was having trouble, she had been waiting for him to have a meal together. For the past three days, he did not get in touch with her at all. Chen Hao checked the newsfeed on his social media ount and saw a post from Qin Ya. She said, ¡°Mum, I hope you would be able to get through this. Everything will get better soon! Daddy and I will find you the best doctor in the world. Your illness will definitely be cured!¡± This was posted three days ago. s, he did not even send her a message to show his concern! When he came to think of it, he realized he was actually quite a jerk. However, he had no idea how to help. As he saw that Zhao Tongtong was still not far away, Chen Hao made a dash toward her. ¡°What do you want?¡± Zhao Tongtong asked icily. ¡°Oh, I just want to ask which hospital Qin Ya¡¯s mother is staying at? What kind of illness is she having?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Damn, you finally showed some concern. Get lost!¡± Zhao Tongtong took a sip of milk tea and continued. ¡°She is staying at the People Hospital, and she has gotten a very serious disease. Many of the doctors have no idea what they''re dealing with. Until now, they are unable to make a diagnosis. Anyway, it¡¯s a rare disease. I don¡¯t have much details about it as well.¡± After she finished speaking, Zhao Tongtong left. As for Chen Hao, he was in a dilemma. Should he or should he not pay a visit to her mother? He had no idea what to say to her mother. Also, he had not much help to offer. Right! Suddenly, he recalled something. He had already secured the authority to control the Emergency Center now. His authority enabled him to have control over various resources including the army, healthcare and intelligence. ording to Mr. Kang, the quality of these resources was top-notched. He wondered whether his resources in healthcare would be able to help Qin Ya¡¯s mother. With that thought, Chen Hao gave Tian Long and Di Hu a call. Chapter 189 The Strongest Medical Team Chapter 189 The Strongest Medical Team ¡°Young Master Chen, I am here at the Emergency Center. Do you have any instructions for me?¡± Tian Long and Di Hu were Chen Hao¡¯s personal bodyguards. Since it was unnecessary to keep them with him for the whole day, Chen Hao had left them in charge of the Emergency Center. ¡°Is the medical team at the center capable of dealing with rare andplex diseases?¡± asked Chen Hao. ¡°Of course. The medical team is made up of the most prominent figures in both traditional Chinese and conventional medicine. Most of the patients they were assigned to were mostly healed! Young Master Chen, do you need anything?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a patient at the People¡¯s Hospital whose daughter''s name is Qin Ya, and she goes to Jin Ling College. Help me check whether it is possible to send our medical team over!¡± ¡°Understood, Young Master Chen!¡± After hanging up his phone, Chen Hao thought to himself, I could only do this much. He did not expect Qin Ya to thank him. Besides, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t reveal his true identity. And so, he returned to his dorm and studied. Meanwhile, in the VIP ward at the People¡¯s Hospital. ¡°Director, please think of a way to save my wife. No matter the cost, we will pay for it!¡± A middle-aged man was pleading hard to the director and the other staff of the People¡¯s Hospital. He was so anxious that his face turned pale. Beside the middle-aged man stood a beautiful young girl. Tears were welling up in her eyes. That girl was Qin Ya. Obviously, the middle-aged man was her father, Qin Xiangnan. ¡°Mr. Qin, we have contacted the most reputable doctors from the whole nation to do a diagnosis. To be frank, Madam Qin¡¯s disease was never encountered before in medical history. Also, we haven¡¯te to a conclusion yet so please don¡¯t worry, we will certainly do our best!¡± The director said apologetically. Qin Xiangnan stumbled a few steps backward weakly. With Qin Ya¡¯s support, he sat on a bench and rested. ¡°Daddy, should we contact those at Yan Jing? I am sure they will be able toe up with something!¡± Qin Ya felt distressed to see the state her father was in. And so, she couldn''t help but probe. Qin Xiangnan shook his head helplessly and said, ¡°No way. Since we have broken our ties with your grandparents, we have nothing to do with the Qin family anymore. We have no grounds to seek for their help. Could this be the end to your mother¡¯s life? Life had been so exhausting for her after marrying me!¡± Qin Xiangnan loved his wife a lot, and at this time, he broke into tears. Qin Ya¡¯s heart went out for him and she started crying too. ¡°Mr. Qin, Qin Ya, we are here to visit Mrs. Qin!¡± At this moment, a bunch of people approached them. They were Qin Ya¡¯s housemates and Li Yue. And they had brought a lot of stuff with them. After returning to the dorm to take her purse, Zhao Tongtong and the housemates took a cab here. ¡°So you guys are Qin Ya¡¯s schoolmates. Thank you all foring!¡± Qin Xiangnan forced a smile and said. ¡°Thank you all foring to visit my mother!¡± Qin Ya was slightly touched by their gesture. ¡°Qin Ya, we can skip the pleasantries. Is the diagnosis ready for your mother¡¯s illness?¡± Zhao Tongtong asked worryingly. ¡°Not yet. This morning, the director had organized a meeting with experts from all over the country. However, it was fruitless.¡± ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Qin Ya shook her head in tears. ¡°How about this, my father is abroad right now, and he knows quite a few reputable doctors. Why don''t I ask my father to invite the doctors over to have a look?¡± Li Yue spoke up at this moment. Both Qin Xiangnan and Qin Ya lifted their brows at once. Qin Xiangnan spoke with gratitude, ¡°Li Yue, if that is possible, we would be very grateful to you!¡± ¡°No worries, Mr. Qin. Qin Ya is a good friend of mine!¡± Li Yue''s face revealed a smile. He then immediately gave a call to his father. In fact, Li Yue was at a loss when he heard that experts from all over the country were already invited by the director. His father¡¯s connection was no better than that of Qin Xiangnan. It was unlikely that his father could ask for any doctor¡¯s help. No matter what, he had to offer his help, since he had nothing to lose. As for Li Yue¡¯s father, he agreed to take on the task right away. After all, he had only one son whom he had doted on since he was little. Immediately, he started to call some of his friends who were working as doctors overseas as well as some Chinese medicine doctors in the country. Li Yue returned to them happily. ¡°Mr. Qin, my father has made the arrangements. The doctors are expected to be here by tomorrow!¡± Li Yue stated. ¡°That''s great, Li Yue! No matter how much the treatment will cost, we will foot the bill. We owe you big time. Qin Ya, say thanks to Li Yue!¡± Qin Xiangnan said immediately. ¡°Li Yue, thank you!¡± Qin Ya spoke in a casual tone. Li Yue nodded his head and replied, ¡°No worries, hehe!¡± Outside the country. ¡°Hi, it¡¯s me Mr. Li. Haha, may I know is Mr. Du Lang of the Shengmu Hospital there? Will he be... oh, busy. It¡¯s okay. Thanks!¡± Li Annan was annoyed to face rejection. Anyhow, his son had already agreed to help his friend. He would be embarrassed if he was unable to aplish what was expected of him. After that, he gave several calls to other experts from abroad. Although they were avable, they all rejected upon knowing that they were required to fly over within the next two days. No one was willing to make such a rushed trip to Huaxia. They needed at least a week¡¯s time to get prepared. It appeared to be unlikely to get the experts from abroad here. So, he decided to go for those in the country. Though he was able to contact a few experienced Chinese medicine doctors, they declined as they were unwilling to leave so hastily. The fastest they could reach there was three days after. After giving it some consideration, Li Annan decided to go ahead with the three day wait. He wanted to give his son a call, but the line was engaged. Li Annan then went to sleep as the matter was considered settled. In the blink of an eye, it was already morning the next day. The experts had met for the second time. Everyone, including the director and the experts, was looking troubled. Qin Xiangnan was so worried that his forehead was covered in sweat. At this moment, two doctors ran excitedly toward them. ¡°Director, I have good news! Good news! The doctors eximed agitatedly. The director¡¯s brows knitted together. He shot a fierce re toward the two doctors, signalling the presence of Qin Xiangnan. Qin Xiangnan furrowed his brows too. ¡°Director, it¡¯s good news for Mr. Qin. A team of experts has arrived saying that they are here to run a diagnosis for Mrs. Qin. There are around ten of them, consisting of experts from abroad and the country!¡± ¡°Moreover, some of them are leading authorities in the medical field. One of them is Mr. Yi Di from M Country, who had received a medical award before. Also, Mr. Zhao Qing, the famous Chinese Medicine doctor is here too!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± The director and the rest of the experts exchanged nces with each other. Qin Xiangnan and Qin Ya were pleasantly surprised. Zhao Tongtong, Li Yue and the gang were as well overjoyed. At the moment, Zhao Tongtong and the gang turned to look at Li Yue, who was in a daze, with shock and admiration. At first, they were unconvinced that Li Yue was able to summon any expert here. After all, Zhao Tongtong was very clear about the capability of his family. His family was just average. To be truthful, his family was no better than Qin Ya¡¯s family. Even Qin Xiangnan was at a loss. What could Li Yue¡¯s family do? Unexpectedly, he had managed to gather a team of experts here. As for Li Yue, he was dumbstruck. What¡¯s happening? Chapter 190 I Want to Go Home Chapter 190 I Want to Go Home This batch of medical personnel entered the ward after briefly understanding the situation. The director and the others did not dare to disturb them as the members in this team were all veterans in the medical field. After three and a half hours, these veterans stepped out from the ward. They told the hospital staff that the root cause of the patient¡¯s illness waspletely cured. All that was left to do, was to have a long-term rest to cultivate the patient¡¯s health. ¡°Fellow doctors, please stay for a short while. A press conference will be held here!¡± The director hastily persuaded them to stay. But the members in the medical team ignored his request and left the hospital right away. ¡°It¡¯s true! It¡¯s true! Director, all the data of the patient¡¯s body are now back to normal!¡± the clinician eximed in excitement. Needless to say, both Qin Xiangnan and Qin Ya were overjoyed. ¡°Li Yue, I¡¯m truly grateful to you. When your father returns, I must thank him too!¡± Qin Xiangnan was deeply moved. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, Uncle Qin!¡± Li Yue was pleased and satisfied to be showered with ttery by everyone, but deep down, he was bewildered. Damn! Did those veterans in the medical field earlier reallye under the request of his father? To be honest, even Li Yue found it hard to believe. He sneaked to the bathroom and called his father to clear up his doubts. ¡°Father, did you call all those people toe here?¡± ¡°What? Who?¡± ¡°The renown doctor from overseas, Mr. Yi Di, and the reputable doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in China, Zhao Qing!¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? How would I know all these prominent people! I only called a few normal local doctors of traditional Chinese medicine. After all, even the experts from all parts of the country failed to determine an exact diagnosis, so don¡¯t hold your expectations too high, son!¡± Li Yue was disappointed when he heard his father¡¯s words. He thought those veterans came for the sake of his father. If that was the case, he could have boasted it aloud. But who would have called them if it was not his father? He was certain that it was not the hospital or Uncle Qin¡¯s family who had called the veterans, because their expressions obviously showed that they were greatly astounded upon their arrival. It could not have been Qin Ya¡¯s roommates as well because they could have just admitted it when he took all the credit earlier. Then who could it be? Li Yue walked out the bathroom with a heart full of doubts. ¡°Young Master Li! We¡¯ve been waiting for you for a while now. Uncle Qin told Qin Ya to treat us to a mealter!¡± Zhao Tongtong and the rest said delightedly. As Qin Ya¡¯s best friends, they were overjoyed since Qin Ya¡¯s issue was solved now. ¡°Great! But I didn¡¯t help much actually. All I did was call the doctors over!¡± Li Yue replied. He decided to conceal the truth and concur with the others since everyone thought it was his contributions. Most importantly, Qin Ya was obviously nicer to him now. Therefore, Li Yue was determined to swallow the truth regardless of anything. What was more, he knew that this was the best opportunity to pursue Qin Ya. Everyone chatted andughed heartily. In the ward. Qin Ya did not have the heart to wake her mother up who had just fallen asleep. At this moment, Qin Xiangnan called her to the side. ¡°Qin Ya, why are you so cold toward Li Yue? I can see that he likes you! Both of you are graduating anyway, and Li Yue¡¯s family is wealthy. He even helped us a great deal now¡­¡± ¡°Father, what are you saying?¡± Qin Ya tidied up her hair as she interrupted. ¡°Anyway, you have to treat Li Yue nicer from now onward. Don¡¯t be ungrateful toward him after all the help he offered us!¡± Qin Xiangnan said. ¡°But father, don¡¯t you feel weird?¡± Qin Ya recalled the scene from before and asked in perplexity. ¡°Why do you say so?¡± ¡°We both know the capability of Li Yue¡¯s family. To be frank, those doctors who rescued mother just now seemed like the foremost doctors in the medical field. But neither did they ask for payment nor interacted with us. Most importantly, they did not know Li Yue at all!¡± ¡°I feel like they were just carrying out an important task, rather than being asked to solely cure mother¡¯s disease!¡± Qin Ya exined. Qin Xiangnan nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve also felt weird about those points you mentioned. But other than Li Yue calling his father to request for doctors here, there weren''t any other people who came to help us. As for Yan Jing, it¡¯s even more impossible!¡± ¡°Moreover, didn¡¯t Li Yue call his father to confirm it? Perhaps it¡¯s his father¡¯s overseas connection. Qin Ya, don¡¯t overthink this!¡± With the constion of Qin Xiangnan, Qin Ya followed Li Yue and the rest out for a meal. ¡°Qin Ya, I bumped into Chen Hao before I came to the hospital today!¡± While eating, Zhao Tongtong suddenly brought up Chen Hao. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Upon hearing Chen Hao¡¯s name, Qin Ya was firstly stunned, but soon a conflicted expression appeared on her face. It looked like most of it was disappointment. ¡°I see,¡± Qin Ya replied nonchntly. To be honest, Qin Ya was deeply touched by Chen Hao because he helped her, and even gave her his most valuable gift. She had a good opinion of him too. On normal days when Qin Ya had free time, she would think of meeting Chen Hao so that they could have a nice chat or study together. She liked the gullible Chen Hao. However, Qin Ya felt that Chen Hao abhorred her. Even now when she had met with an issue and posted it on her social media, Chen Hao did not express his concerns for her. She knew that she wanted to be his friend, and even had feelings for him. But Qin Ya was deeply hurt by Chen Hao¡¯s indifferent attitude toward her. ¡°Hmph, that loser! So what if you had met him, what¡¯s the big deal?¡± Li Yue snorted indignantly. After that, they did not continue with the discussion about Chen Hao. But Qin Ya was dispirited in her heart. Am I not good enough? I haven¡¯t been rejected like this by any boys since I was young. So why are you doing this, Chen Hao? On the other hand, Chen Hao was relieved when he heard that Qin Ya¡¯s mother''s illness was cured. And life went on as usual. Later that evening, Chen Hao went to the library to return the reading materials. When he arrived at the library''s entrance, he saw a girl standing there. She seemed to be waiting for someone. Upon recognizing the girl, Chen Hao was stunned. The tall girl in a ck fitted outfit was none other than Qin Ya. At this moment, Qin Ya raised her head and spotted Chen Hao. ¡°Hi, Qin Ya. Did youe to the library to study?¡± Chen Hao asked awkwardly. ¡°No, I came to return the reading materials,¡± Qin Ya answered perfunctorily. Chen Hao was actually rather remorseful due to the previous incident. And so he suggested, ¡°Have you eaten? I¡¯ll treat you to a meal at the cafeteria if you want. I just got to know about your mother today. Is aunty feeling better now?¡± ¡°Oh, thank you. My mother haspletely recovered now. And thank you for asking, but I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t join you for a meal as I¡¯ve made an appointment with my friend.¡± Qin Ya nodded politely at Chen Hao. Chen Hao could not think of anything to continue their conversation. ¡°Oh, and Chen Hao, this is the Cloud of Dragon Jade Bracelet that you gave me. I¡¯ve thought of keeping it safe for you, but then I think it¡¯s not a good idea after all since it¡¯s so valuable and people might misinterpret us. So I¡¯ll return it to you now, and you don''t need topensate me for my jade bracelet.¡± Qin Ya scooped out the jade bracelet from her bag and returned it to Chen Hao with a smile. At this moment, a BMW 7 Series drove toward them. When the car window wound down, Li Yue with a pair of sunsses popped his head out. ¡°Qin Ya, sorry I''m three minuteste. Where are we going for dinner tonight? You can choose anywhere you like!¡± ¡°Any western restaurant will be fine. I¡¯m not a picky eater anyway! I¡¯ll treat you to dinner tonight. After all, you¡¯ve been apanying me at the hospital for a few days. And you are even my mother¡¯s life saver. Although I¡¯ve treated you to lunch this afternoon, I¡¯ll treat you to dinner alone tonight!¡± Qin Ya said with a smile as she walked past Chen Hao and got into the passenger¡¯s seat. ¡°There''s a nice movie ying tonight too, I would like to watch it!¡± Qin Ya added. Li Yue was on cloud nine now, and his face turned bright red. ¡°Alright, alright!¡± He started the car and gave Chen Hao a smug look before he drove off with Qin Ya. Chen Hao stood there and watched in stupefaction as they left. He was not in love with Qin Ya, but he still felt sour and unhappy in his heart. Especially when Chen Hao figured out that Li Yue stole the credit from him for the contribution of calling the medical team to the hospital. Now it seemed that Qin Ya was grateful to Li Yue, so they became closer. Should he expose the truth? Sigh! Chen Hao, what is the point of revealing the truth? To make Qin Ya feel grateful to you again? Isn¡¯t the situation now what you want? The incident of the jade bracelet ispletely over now. Since Li Yue likes Qin Ya, and I have Su Tongxin now, I might as well do Li Yue a favour! At this moment, Qin Ya had left the college with Li Yue. ¡°Qin Ya, which restaurant do you fancy? I know a western restaurant just beside a cinema. Of course, the choice is yours¡­¡± Li Yue said excitedly. He was overwhelmed with exhration when he received a text from Qin Ya on Wechat just now, asking him to fetch her. ¡°You can just drop me off here¡­¡± Only then did Qin Ya gloomily withdraw her sight from the and spoke in an indifferent tone. ¡°But there isn¡¯t any western restaurant here!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to the western restaurant. Stop the car now. I want to go home!¡± Chapter 191 Xu Xia’s Mother Is Coming Chapter 191 Xu Xia¡¯s Mother Is Coming Qin Ya did not know what came over her as she was experiencing mixed emotions. Just now when she saw that Chen Hao was still indifferent toward her, she was quite upset. Perhaps I am trying to prove to myself. Come on, don¡¯t tell me that a boy like you is not the least bit attracted to me. Therefore, while she was chatting insouciantly with Chen Hao, she had sent Li Yue a Wechat message, asking him to pick her up from the college. She was trying to tell Chen Hao, You might not be interested in me, but I¡¯m way out of your league anyway. Well, that was how girls were. If she was interested in you but you were cold toward her, the tactic of ''loosening the reins only to grasp them better'' might be effective but only if it was well-controlled. Of course, Chen Hao would never pull this kind of trick. And Qin Ya would not have resorted to methods like these if she was not interested in Chen Hao. Besides, Qin Ya was determined to cut off her friendship with Chen Hao by returning the jade bracelet to him. Nevertheless, Qin Ya was almost infuriated to death when Chen Hao actually epted the jade bracelet. He was even silent when she left with someone else. Qin Ya had lost the mood to enjoy a meal with Li Yue, so she decided to get out of the car. Li Yue was utterly perplexed as he watched Qin Ya get down from the car, hail a taxi and leave. Completely baffled, he thought to himself, Did I say anything wrong? I didn¡¯t, did I? On the other hand, Chen Hao let out a sigh and returned to his dorm. When he reached the dorm, he saw Yang Hui crouching while smoking on the balcony. He looked depressed as he scratched his head repeatedly. Li Rui was also beside him at the balcony. ¡°Yang Hui, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Hao walked over to them and asked. ¡°Sigh! Chen Hao, I¡¯m d you¡¯re back. I need someone to hear me out. You see, the exam is almost here, but damn, Xu Xia¡¯s mother ising to Jin Ling for a few days. After that, the both of them will be going back to their hometown!¡± ¡°More importantly, Xu Xia told her mother about me, and now, her mother wants to meet me!¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Damn, you¡¯re even meeting her parents now. This is good news, you should celebrate!¡± Chen Hao teased him. ¡°How is this good news? I understand Xu Xia¡¯s intention. She told me that her mother will be staying here, so I need to arrange her amodation. To put it bluntly, she wants me to y a warm host. If I do great, I might receivepliments from her mom; if I screw up, we¡¯ll probably break up during this graduation!¡± So Yang Hui was worrying about this. Sigh! In Chen Hao¡¯s heart, he knew that beingmitted in a rtionship would probably lead to this someday. As the saying went, a mother-inw is a stick-in-the-mud. And this sentence was not a joke. Although Yang Hui¡¯s background wasn''t that bad, it was still considered as having a light purse in Jin Ling. After all, he could not afford to go to ces that were too luxurious. Chen Hao could not help either, because Jin Ling Commercial Street was up for auction now, and he did not own Hot Spring Vi anymore. Otherwise, he could have arranged the amodation for Xu Xia¡¯s mother easily, just like he did when Li Rui¡¯s girlfriend visited. ¡°What do you n to do, Yang Hui?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Well, I¡¯ve discussed with Bin Zi just now. When Xu Xia¡¯s mother visits, I need you two to help me in hosting her, and I will arrange the hotel. As for the ces to have fun, I saw on the inte that there will be a big event in Yunmeng Vige tomorrow night. It seems like the people there had received their will be a fun experience if we are going there, and most importantly, it won¡¯t cost us much money!¡± Yang Hui exined his ns. Chen Hao nodded. Chen Hao did not receive any news that Yunmeng Vige was holding an event. Besides, this event was held by the people in the vige to celebrate the sess of demolition and had nothing to do with the project. So it was only natural that Li Zhengguo did not report this trifling matter to him. Chen Hao then replied, ¡°This might work. Let¡¯s go with it then. If there¡¯s anything more, I¡¯ll help you!¡± With that, Yang Hui felt relieved and patted on Chen Hao¡¯s shoulder. Xu Xia¡¯s mother would be arriving the next morning. Early in the morning, Chen Hao, Yang Hui and Li Rui gathered at the college entrance together with Xu Xia and the girls. Of course Xu Xia wouldn''t havee alone without her roommates. To put it simply, ording to Yang Hui yesterday, Xu Xia¡¯s mother would be his future mother-inw. If he and Xu Xia were the only ones to wee her, the atmosphere might seem cheerless, and she might feel slighted. It would only feel warm and merrier if there was arger group of people. Therefore, Xu Xia invited her two friends along. When Chen Hao saw the two girls, he was stunned. One of them was Zhao Yifan, and the other was Lin Jiao who was staring at him fondly. Other than that, there was another girl whom Chen Hao had not met before. ¡°Yang Hui and Chen Hao, you¡¯re here! Oh, let me introduce you guys. This is Li Mei, my ssmate from high school and also my childhood friend. Today, her mother will being with my mother, so we came together!¡± Xu Xia said. As her name implied, Li Mei was quite beautiful and good at dressing up. Although she could not hold a candle to Zhao Yifan who was a natural beauty, she had almost the same charms as Lin Jiao who was beside her. She was a beauty with her own style. ¡°Hi, Li Mei. We¡¯ve met once,¡± Yang Hui greeted her apathetically. Li Mei insouciantly nodded, when suddenly she asked, ¡°Oh right, we will be going to the high-speed rail station to meet my mother and Xu Xia¡¯s mother. How are you guys nning to go there?¡± ¡°We will be taking a taxi!¡± Yang Hui answered. ¡°What? A taxi? So you don¡¯t have a car? Well, I thought Xu Xia¡¯s boyfriend owns a car, just like my boyfriend does!¡± Li Mei sneered. Obviously, she had said that intentionally. Although she was Xu Xia¡¯s childhood friend, it was apparent that both of them rarely spoke in college as Yang Hui said that he had only met her once. But there was no other way now since Xu Xia¡¯s mother and her mother were travelling together to Jin Ling for a vacation. So she had to tag along. And girls, especially those like Xu Xia, who came from a third-tier city to the metropolitan Jin Ling for their studies, enjoyedpeting on their quality of life. Plus, Xu Xia¡¯s two roommates were stunning, which roused jealousy in Li Mei. So, she could not suppress her sharp tongue. ¡°Yang Hui hasn''t bought a car! Has your boyfriend bought one?¡± Xu Xia was displeased, but she asked anyway. Simr to Li Mei, both of them came from a well-to-do family. Since their days in high school, they could notpete on their financial abilities. After all, both of them could already afford fancy clothes. Therefore, they could only focus onpeting in their studies, with Xu Xia always ahead of Li Mei. But it was different in college now. They couldpete in various areas. ¡°He bought it a long time ago. It¡¯s just an Audi A4L though. Initially, he wanted to buy a BMW 7 Series out of spite when he saw his friend had one. But I advised him to buy A4L instead as it¡¯s quite nice. He loves me so much, and so he listened to me!¡± Li Mei crossed her arms and spokecently after ncing at Zhao Yifan and the girls. However, Lin Jiao and the rest disdained her remarks. Xu Xia nodded and agreed with her. ¡°Your boyfriend and his friends are amazing!¡± ¡°Of course. Yang Hui and his friends have nothing topare¡­ Well, I¡¯ll stop here. But you know that they¡¯re just mediocre,¡± Li Mei said scornfully. As soon as she finished her words, she suddenly looked toward the college campus delightedly. ¡°My boyfriend and his friends are here!¡± Chapter 192 Enemies are Bound to Meet Chapter 192 Enemies are Bound to Meet From afar, a white Audi A4L sped toward them and screeched to a stop in front of everyone. The windows rolled down, and stepping down from the car was a fashionably dressed boy who looked rich. ¡°Wang Liang, you¡¯re here. Wait, why are you by yourself? Where are your friends?¡± Li Mei asked. ¡°Oh, them? I told them to reserve the hotel in advance. After I picked up the aunts, we could go sit in the hotel, have lunch and go out afterward!¡± Wang Liang said and at this moment, his eyes brightened as he saw Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao who stood behind Xu Xia. ¡°Hello gorgeousdies, are you two Xu Xia¡¯s friends? How will you guys get there?¡± Wang Liang asked. ¡°We were just discussing this. Yang Hui doesn¡¯t have a car so he needs to take a cab to pick up Xu Xia¡¯s mother,¡± Li Mei said hurriedly. ¡°Oh, if that¡¯s the case, three more people could fit in my car, why don¡¯t Xu Xia and you beauties hop on?¡± Wang Liang as well thought that Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao were pretty indeed. So he wanted to please them. But before Xu Xia and the rest could speak, Li Mei vied. ¡°Hmph, if the car is full, how can I pick up my mother? Moreover, two of my roommates areing as well!¡± Li Mei felt sour when Wang Liang stared at the two girls. Hence, her attitude was far from nice. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Li Mei. We can just take a taxi!¡± Xu Xia didn¡¯t want Li Mei to argue with Wang Liang because of her, and so she interposed. ¡°Alright, we could go to the station first. There¡¯s still plenty of time for you guys to take a taxi. Then we can go to the restaurant that Wang Liang reserved. Since most of us are here now, how about we pay for ourselvester?¡± Li Mei asked. ¡°No problem!¡± Xu Xia nodded. At this moment, she started to feel a bitpetitive. Once Li Mei¡¯s roommates had arrived, they hopped on Wang Liang¡¯s car and left. As for Chen Hao and the others, they waited until the taxi arrived and prepared to head to the station. ¡°Ha, look how smug she is when her boyfriend is driving an Audi A4L. Our Yifan only needs to make one call to get Young Master Zhao here!¡± Lin Jiaoughed bitterly. ¡°Jiaojiao, what are you talking about? I haven¡¯t contacted Young Master Zhao for a long time!¡± Zhao Yifan eyed Chen Hao and said embarrassedly. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s true. I heard Young Master Zhao¡¯s father had only been here for a while before the industry of Jin Ling Commercial Group had all been auctioned off. It¡¯s a shame that such argemercial group disbanded just like that! But a starving camel is still bigger than a horse; if Young Master Zhao woulde, there would be no problem teaching Wang Liang and Li Mei a lesson!¡± Lin Jiao said. What Lin Jiao was talking about was also the reason why Zhao Yifan was a bit cold to Chen Hao. Jin Ling Commercial Group belonged to Young Master Chen. Zhao Yifan used to be uncertain on whether Chen Hao was Young Master Chen, but she had made up her mind to follow Chen Hao. But sadly, something like that happened to Jin Ling Commercial Group. Furthermore, Zhao Yifan didn''tpletely believe all along that Chen Hao would be the great Young Master Chen. So her attitude was less than enthusiastic. However, Zhao Yifan still stressed on how she would be perceived in Chen Hao¡¯s eyes. It had been a while since she had contacted Young Master Zhao, but Lin Jiao¡¯s words made her seem like there was still unfinished business between them. What if Chen Hao was mistaken about their rtionship? No matter what, Chen Hao was rich after all. Meanwhile, Chen Hao had the air of indifference. He didn¡¯t bother initiating any conversation. Just like that, the group headed to the station. It was ten in the morning. The high-speed train to Jin Ling had arrived. ¡°Mrs. Xu, I heard from our Mei that your daughter has a boyfriend too. I was too embarrassed to ask back then on the train. What business is his family in? Is he rich?¡± Two pretty women left the station together. They were both nearly forty but they dressed as if they were in their thirties. They were quite fashionable. ¡°Xu Xia won¡¯t tell me the specifics. I felt quite worried myself so I came to take a look. Besides, my daughter has her standards so her boyfriend wouldn¡¯t be too bad. After all, Xu Xia had such good grades and won schrships every year!¡± Mrs. Xu replied. Mrs. Li¡¯s expression was a bit distorted. To be fair, her daughter was pretty, but so was Xu Xia. Moreover, she had often met Xu Xia and was aware of her excellent academic results as well as her nice personality. She was indeed better than her daughter. And so, her boyfriend should be excellent as well. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Mrs. Li knew she could notpete against Xu Xia¡¯s mother so she said, preparing her in advance, ¡°You¡¯re right. Xu Xia¡¯s boyfriend should be better that Mei¡¯s! My child has alwayse in second to Xu Xia!¡± When she raised her head, she saw that Li Mei and Xu Xia were already waiting outside the railway station. ¡°Mom, was it a smooth journey? Let me introduce my boyfriend, Wang Liang, to you!¡± ¡°Hi, Aunt Li. I¡¯m Wang Liang. Let me help you with your luggage. Please, do get in the car!¡± Wang Liang was quite observant, and took over Mrs. Li¡¯s luggage and ushered her into the car. ¡°Wow, Wang Liang, is this your car?¡± Looking at the car keys in Wang Liang¡¯s hand, Li Mei¡¯s mother asked in surprise. ¡°Yes, I just got itst month!¡± Wang Liang smiled. Then, Mrs. Li turned to look at Mrs. Xu. ¡°Mom, get in the car. Let¡¯s go to the restaurant!¡± Xu Xia smiled. ¡°Huh, why is there a driver inside the car. Is he Yang Hui¡¯s driver?¡± Mrs. Xu was quite surprised that Mrs. Li¡¯s future son-inw drove an Audi A4L. Meanwhile, her son-inw came with two Magotans. It looked nice but it seemed that there was a driver. Could it be Yang Hui¡¯s driver? But looking at Yang Hui, he didn¡¯t seem like a rich heir. ¡°Hello? Are you leaving or not? Quickly! I still have work to do!¡± A driver said impatiently. ¡°Um¡­¡± Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Li froze. ¡°Mom, this is the taxi we called!¡± Xu Xia¡¯s expression turned ugly. Yang Hui bowed his head in embarrassment. ¡°What? You called a taxi? Ahem, I thought he was Yang¡¯s driver¡­¡± Mrs. Li was ecstatic. ¡°Mom, get in the car first. Yang Hui, you sit shotgun!¡± Xu Xia knew it would be very embarrassing to stay here and wanted to leave first. ¡°What shotgun? Tell him to sit in the car behind!¡± Mrs. Xu eyed Yang Hui coldly and got in the car huffily. And they finally left. ¡°I¡¯m screwed. Totally screwed!¡± Sitting next to Chen Hao in the other car, Yang Hui grasped his hair painfully. Chen Hao patted Yang Hui¡¯s shoulder, feeling bad for him. He smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. You¡¯re marrying Xu Xia, not her mother. Besides, you have Li Rui and I. Don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°Alright, Chen. One way or another, you have to help me out today!¡± Yang Hui really didn¡¯t know what to do. Chen Hao nodded his head and didn¡¯t say anything more. Soon, they arrived at the restaurant. When she knew that her future son-inw reserved the restaurant, Mrs. Li was exhrated. Mrs. Xu, on the other hand, had dampened spirits and felt her reputation was ruined. ¡°Li, sorry to keep you guys waiting. The aunts have arrived and Li Mei¡¯s ssmates are here as well!¡± When they entered a luxurious private room, Wang Liang took the lead and introduced everyone. ¡°Mrs. Li, these are my friends. This is Li, our dorm leader. His family owns a listedpany and he is extremely generous to us!¡± ¡°Good, good. Hello!¡± Mrs. Li smiled merrily as soon as she heard that her future son-inw knew someone so great. That dorm leader Li had greeted Xu Xia and the others after greeting Mrs. Li. But while Li was being introduced by Wang Liang as he shook hands with Yang Hui and the others, he paused in front of Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± This Li eximed in surprise. Chen Hao was shocked as well, damn¡­ enemies were really bound to meet. ¡°Li Yue, I didn¡¯t expect to see you here!¡± Chapter 193 Should Not have Crashed into a Car with Letters Chapter 193 Should Not have Crashed into a Car with Letters Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect that the amazing friend that Wang Liang kept bragging about was Li Yue. Then again, he should have known. There were only a handful of people in the school who drove a BMW 7 series, one of them being Li Yue. When Li Yue saw Chen Hao, his eyes were zing with anger. Firstly, he waspletely humiliated in front of a group of girls at the breakfast cafe. Then, his ''godess'' Qin Ya seemed to have aplicated rtionship with this boy. For instance, the incident that happened yesterday. Qin Ya had been talking to Chen Hao at the library. Then, she even told Li Yue that she wanted him to bring her out for a movie and dinner. Yet, when they were out of Chen Hao¡¯s sight, Qin Ya got out of the car like she was a different person. Damn, after Li Yue returned home and thought about it the whole night, he felt weirder and weirder. Then, he came to a question¨Cwas Qin Ya using him? So from yesterday night till today, Li Yue was indeed a bit depressed. He wanted to use this opportunity to get things off his mind. But he didn¡¯t expect to run into Chen Hao again! Therefore, he was angry. Li Yue put on his best poker face and arranged Chen Hao and the others to their seats. ¡°Young Master Li, there¡¯s no need for you to fuss around. Wang Liang can arrange everything. We have troubled you too much for today. After all, you¡¯re a young master at a listedpany. We couldn¡¯t have you doing such things!¡± ¡°Mrs. Xu, wouldn''t you agree? Sigh, the thing about Wang Liang¡¯s friends is that all of them are so talented yet so humble. They must be very close to Wang Liang! And don¡¯t worry, the expenses will be paid by Wang Liang and Li Mei!¡± Mrs. Li praised Li Yue as she talked to Mrs. Xu. On the other hand, Mrs. Xu did not utter a single word since she entered the room. She was boiling inside. Originally, the two families had simr backgrounds in the city. If they were really beingpared, Xu Xia¡¯s family was better than that of Li Mei. Furthermore, Xu Xia herself was doing better than Li Mei too. Which was why Mrs. Xu had been haughty throughout this trip. Numerous times she had imagined the scene of her future son-inw picking her up, and how jealous Li Mei would be when she saw him. And in the end? In the end!!! Mrs. Xu just wanted to crawl into a hole at this time. It wasn''t just Yang Hui¡¯s identity that was iparable to that of Wang Liang. His circle of friends was also extremely different. Li Yue was definitely something but what about the two beside Yang Hui? The one with sses was Li Rui and he was alright, being somewhat observant. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. But look at the one named Chen Hao! He was just a loser! What kind of joke was this? Sigh! There was nothing more to say! Li Yue joined the conversation at this moment. ¡°Don''t mention it, aunties. You guys are my seniors and we would definitely make sure that you have a good time in Jin Ling. As for the expenses, I can cover all of it.¡± Saying that was one thing; doing it however was another. Li Yue saw the two pretty girls sitting beside Chen Hao, hence, he said that with the intention to impress. ¡°How will this do? Forget about you, Young Master Li, it still wouldn''t be right if Wang Liang wanted to pay for all. Besides, if Yang Hui was in the same position, he wouldn¡¯t agree to it too, right?¡± Mrs. Li eyed Yang Hui as she spoke. ¡°Yes, we¡¯ve already agreed to split the bill!¡± Yang Hui nodded his head dejectedly. ¡°Splitting the bill is good. I would like to try the best dishes in Jin Ling today!¡± After Mrs. Li was done, she started to order a few specialties and let Mrs. Xu order a few as well. Mrs. Xu¡¯s temper red up. She was determined to order more than Mrs. Li did. What? My daughter¡¯s boyfriend could afford it! Gradually, including alcohol, this meal had already reached thirty thousand. Yang Hui had already broken out in cold sweat. Of course Chen Hao knew what he was thinking. He jabbed Yang Hui¡¯s shoulder and indicated to him to look at his phone. Just then, Chen Hao transferred twenty thousand to him. And told him to rx. Just when he was done, Chen Hao felt something was off. He turned his head around and damn! Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao, who were sitting beside him, looked eagerly at him. It turned out that Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao were secretly watching his every move. Right up until they saw Chen Hao transferring money. Though the two were mentally prepared, they were still shocked. Yes! As they guessed, Chen Hao was not poor. Instead, he was extremely wealthy! They had only made assumptions before because there was no concrete proof. But now, the two of them had seen it with their own eyes that Chen Hao was transferring money to another ount. The most important thing was the bnce in his ount. Though they could not see the exact figures, there was a series of numbers! ¡°Ladies, do you want to drink anything? Would you like some wine? I ordered it specifically for you guys. Rx, I¡¯ll drive you guys home afterwards!¡± Li Yue looked at Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao. He believed that they had already seen his prowess. However. They replied in unison, ¡°No, we don¡¯t need any drinks!¡± Then, Zhao Yifan turned to Chen Hao and said, ¡°What do you want to drink? I¡¯ll pour it for you!¡± She directly ignored Li Yue. Li Yue felt like he had swallowed a bug. Damn, why? Why did his beloved ''goddess'' even treat Chen Hao so well? To be honest, Li Yue had never seen Chen Hao as apetitor. But now, Chen Hao became his greatest opponent! Unfortunately, Chen Hao did not return any of Li Yue¡¯s snidements during the meal. Even when Li Yue tried to initiate a conversation with Chen Hao, Chen Hao only responded by shaking his head with a bitter smile. This made Li Yue feel as if he was punching cotton. He grew very anxious. After they had finished lunch and paid the bill. Xu Xia was making arrangements for amodations and prepared to get a taxi. At this moment, Li Yue said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to take a taxi. Few of us came here with our cars. Wherever you want to go, we can go there together. Come on, let¡¯s go to the car park.¡± ¡°Also, you two beautifuldies. You guys can sit in my car. It¡¯s spacious andfortable!¡± Li Yue invited Lin Jiao and Zhao Yifan. The two girls did not reply. At this moment, they had all arrived at the car park. Li Yue pressed his car keys and his car beeped. He hopped in the car and started the engine. He was just about to drive when his friend said, ¡°Li, go slowly. The car to your right is too close. Go slowly!¡± ¡°F*ck, does it matter? It¡¯s just a Phideon!¡± Vroom! Initially, Li Yue had nned to go slow. But when this friend cautioned him, his ego surfaced. If he really drove slowly, what would that make him? Then, he stepped on the pedal to reverse his car. Bang! Suddenly, there was a crisp sound. Li Yue felt his car wobbled, the rear end had already scraped the car beside it and it was very serious! ¡°F*ck!¡± Li Yue hit the steering wheel and came out of the car in anger. ¡°Yue, what do we do?¡± Wang Liang said nervously. ¡°What are you panicking about? Call the owner of the car. Worstes to worst, we¡¯ll just throw ten or twenty thousand him!¡± Li Yue said nonchntly. ¡°No, Yue. Look carefully. It seemed like this car isn¡¯t a Phideon but a Phaeton with letters on the license te!¡± ¡°What?¡± Li Yue became flurried in a second. The lowest price for a Phideon was three hundred thousand. But a Phaeton was different. Though it stopped selling, the price for one was at least a million or two! And after a careful inspection, it was indeed a Phaeton! He¡¯s screwed¡­ Chapter 194 Festival at Yunmeng Mountain Chapter 194 Festival at Yunmeng Mountain ¡°What should I do?¡± Li Yue¡¯s whole body became cold at once. Just now, they had casually looked down upon this Volkswagen. Because in their minds, they knew that even a better Volkswagen would cost at most two hundred to three hundred thousand. That was why they didn¡¯t bear that in mind. Clearly, they had forgotten about the expensive Phaeton among the Volkswagen¡¯s series. It really was a nightmare that came true! ¡°Oh no! You would have to pay a lot for that. The rear end of the Phaeton is deformed!¡± Mrs. Li was nervous as well. ¡°How about this, Li. Quickly give the owner a call and beg him to not make a big deal out of this. Otherwise, if it doesn''t work, should we get Uncle here to settle this?¡± that friend said again. ¡°Damn, there¡¯s nothing to be afraid of. So what if I crashed into his car? It¡¯s his fault that his car was parked so near mine. F*ck. Besides, do you think I can¡¯t afford this million-dor Phaeton? Please, I''m only driving this 7 series during this period of internship!¡± Li Yue''s temper red up and he sounded pretty aggressive. Nevertheless, he still called the owner and told him toe settle this! Not long after he called, a weak young man who wore sses came walking out of the restaurant. Next to him was a fragile girl. It seemed like they were a couple. ¡°You crashed my car!¡± the weak boy came over and said softly. From the looks of it, the boy seemed to be a dunce. He seemed as if he was unfamiliar with the ways of the world. On the other hand, Li Yue was ecstatic to see this. Meeting such a weirdo was excellent. It was a no-brainer that he was some rich upstart who spent extravagantly to impress. Also, he looked like he hadn''t gone through anything major in his life. If he was an adult, Li Yue might even be more polite. At that moment, Li Yue said ferociously, ¡°Are you blind? Why did you park so close to my car? I couldn¡¯t even reverse my car out. So tell me, how are we gonna settle this?¡± Li Yue rolled up his sleeves and walked toward the boy in sses, followed by Wang Liang and his friend. The petite girl beside him rebutted, ¡°It was you who crashed into our car, so you should go fix our car. Why are you asking what we should do?¡± ¡°That''s right, you should fix my car!¡± the boy in sses said softly. ¡°What? Your car was in the way and you want me to fix your car? F*ck!¡± Li Yue raised his foot to kick the boy¡¯s stomach, pointed at him and scolded, ¡°You should have tried to find out who I am first! Do you think I¡¯m easy to mess with? Boy, where do youe from? Go on, give me an address!¡± Li Yue threatened. The boy held his stomach, too afraid to speak. ¡°Ahh, Young Master Li Yue is too amazing!¡± Mrs. Li looked at his tyrannical actions and admired him greatly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Mrs. Li. Li Yue¡¯s family is indeed rich and powerful!¡± Wang Liang said proudly. ¡°Now scram. Next time if you block my car, I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± Li Yue stomped on that boy again. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. The boy''s girlfriend helped him up and went back inside the restaurant. ¡°That¡¯s amazing Li! The problem was solved just like that!¡± the friend said with admiration. ¡°If his car wasn''t more expensive than mine, I would have made him pay me even if I crashed into his car!¡± Li Yue said smugly and prepared to drive Zhao Yifan and the girls back, before sending his car to be fixedter. At this moment, clomp! A tter of footsteps rang out, and suddenly thirty to forty boys ran out of the restaurant. Li Yue and the others were immediately surrounded. The leader was a tall boy in a T-shirt. At this moment, he looked at the boy in sses and asked, ¡°Four-eyes, which one of them hit you?¡± ¡°Him!¡± The boy pointed at Li Yue. At first, Li Yue was not afraid. But after seeing the leader¡¯s face, he paled instantly. ¡°You¡¯re Shen Qiang? I''ve met you once!¡± Li Yue gulped and asked. Shen Qiang! When they heard this name, Wang Liang and the friend, including Yang Hui and Li Rui were startled. They had been studying in Jin Ling for a while now, hence, they knew a thing or two about great people there. Shen Qiang was the son of Shen Wanhao. Their family owned several of thergest entertainment clubs in Jin Ling. Moreover, Shen Wanhao was one of the old members of the underground forces in Jin Ling. The Wanhao Group was considered to be much more ruthless than the Haishan Group. After all, the Wanhao Group couldn''t be bothered with whatever the Haishan Group was wary of. Theypletely went by the rule of putting up a fight to solve their problems. It didn¡¯t matter how strong their opponent was! As to Shen Qiang¡¯s name, everyone had heard of him. He didn¡¯t go to university, but even then, he became a top-dog in Jin Ling. Someone had gotten on the wrong side of him before, and he led his people directly into that person¡¯s home to fight. The guy was pretty ruthless. As for Li Yue, he did not stand a chance. At that moment, he was scared and immediately tried to act close to Shen Qiang. ¡°F*ck! So you crashed into his car and even hit him? Brother, how can you be so unreasonable? You have to give us an exnation for today, otherwise, I will not let this matter rest!¡± Shen Qiang squinted, his lips curving into a sneer. Seeing that, Li Yue shivered all over. At that moment, he patted his own face as he spoke, ¡°It¡¯s all a misunderstanding, Qiang, a misunderstanding!¡± ¡°Haha, misunderstanding. Alright, this restaurant is owned by one of my uncles, so I won''t make a scene here. Come on bro. Come with me into my private room and we¡¯ll see what misunderstanding there is!¡± Shen Qiang said and nced at Wang Liang and that friend who stood behind Li Yue. With a wave of his hand, two strong boys came over to grab Li Yue by his shoulder. ¡°Four-eyes, the rest of them didn¡¯t hit you right?¡± Shen Qiang asked. ¡°No, just him!¡± With both hands in his pockets, Shen Qiang then brought Li Yue, whose legs already turned to jelly, into the restaurant. ¡°What do we do? What do we do? That Shen Qiang seemed quite fierce.¡± Mrs. Li had quite a fright. ¡°Of course he¡¯s fierce. Like father, like son. I heard that two years ago, Shen Qiang even raped a female celebrity!¡± Wang Liang said. Apparently he knew what kind of guy Shen Qiang was! ¡°Liang, why don¡¯t we call the police? It is certain that Li would be badly hurt today!¡± that friend said hurriedly. ¡°Are you crazy? There¡¯s no way we can help now. I reckon that Li¡¯s father would hear about it soon!¡± Wang Liang said as he lit a cigarette. As for Chen Hao, he just acted as a spectator. He had nothing else to say except that Li Yue had iting. Also, he wasn¡¯t friends with him and he was ufortable with how he behaved. That was why Chen Hao didn¡¯t bother to interfere. Then he said, ¡°Aunties, we won''t be able to help him either way. Let¡¯s go find a hotel for you both to settle down first!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu replied in unison. Then, they all left and found a hotel to settle in. In the afternoon, Yang Hui didn¡¯t make any other arrangements so they had to wait until dusk to go to Yunmeng Mountain. On the other hand, Wang Liang had brought Mrs. Li for a stroll around Jin Ling in his car. Mrs. Xu was extremely jealous and did not like Yang Hui one bit! Thank goodness it was already a little over five o¡¯clock. By this time, Mrs. Li had also returned. Yunmeng Mountain was holding a huge festival today so it was very crowded. Some celebrities had even showed up. Therefore, Mrs. Li and the others were definitely dying to go. As for the tickets, Wang Liang had already gotten them a while back. More importantly, they were VIP tickets which he had acquired from some unknown source. With this VIP ticket, they did not need to spend extra money on food and games at the event. On the other hand, Yang Hui only had normal tickets. ¡°Ah, Wang Liang. Since you¡¯re so capable, why didn¡¯t you help get Mrs. Xu a VIP ticket as well? That way, Yang Hui could save some money. Otherwise, with his normal ticket, he would need to spend his own money on food! Haha!¡± ¡°Oh, I had forgotten. I thought Yang Hui could get his own tickets. It¡¯s fairly simple, you just need to have connections for it!¡± Wang Liang scratched his head with a bitter smile. ¡°Hmph, how capable can he be? When Li Yue was taken away earlier, he didn¡¯t even dare to say anything!¡± Mrs. Xu had enough of the insults and retorted coldly. ¡°Yes, our Wang Liang isn¡¯t much and his connections aren¡¯t great but at least he¡¯s better than the boyfriend of someone¡¯s daughter, whose friends are only here for free food!¡± This sentence, apparently, was directed at Chen Hao and Li Rui. Chen Hao chuckled bitterly and helplessly. Yet, he didn¡¯t say anything. Soon after, the group had arrived at Yunmeng Mountain. There was already a ticket office built at the entrance. ¡°Huh? Wang Liang, didn¡¯t you say that your ssmates would be waiting for us here? Where are they? Are they even going toe?¡± Li Mei suddenly asked. ¡°Of course they are going toe. My high school ssmate was the one who gave me these tickets. Damn, he''s really something now, a rich second-generation heir! Look, there he is waiting for us!¡± Wang Liang pointed. Following where his finger pointed, Chen Hao looked toward the direction and froze¡­ Chapter 195 Seven Consecutive Collisions Chapter 195 Seven Consecutive Collisions Who was that boy? Wasn¡¯t he Ding Hao? Just now when he was on the way, Chen Hao pondered whether he would meet Ding Hao and the others here. If Ding Hao was here, Chen Lin and Li Shihan were sure to be here as well. Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to see them. But unexpectedly, they had bumped into each other. So Dinghao was from the same high school as Wang Liang? ¡°Liang? Did you just arrive? We have been waiting for you for a while now!¡± Ding Hao greeted them haughtily. After all, he was the host of such a huge event. Hence, his ego was greatly inted. ¡°Yes, there was a traffic jam on the way here. Right, Ding Hao, let me introduce to you my girlfriend, Li Mei, and her mother, Mrs. Wang. These are Li Mei¡¯s friends who came along to hang out!¡± Wang Liang said. Standing beside Ding Hao were a couple of boys and girls, which of course included Chen Lin and Li Shihan. Ding Hao then introduced his friends to Wang Liang as well. ¡°Everyone, this is Ding Hao. No, we should call him Young Master Ding now. Ding Hao¡¯s family received three properties on thisnd from the demolition project of Yunmeng Mountain!¡± Wang Liang said with admiration. As soon as he finished his introduction. Li Mei was a bit startled. Both Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xu were stunned as well. On the way here, they had read through a brief introduction on Yunmeng Mountain. It was a great project, consisting of abination of tourism and entertainment. Also, there were several tourist attraction areas nned as well as buildings constructed around the perimeter! That meant that in the near future, this ce would be developed into a hotspot. And Ding Hao had already owned three properties here. That was enough money tost him for a lifetime. Mrs. Li was very impressed. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s too much. If we really want to talk about amazing people, it would definitely be Young Master Chen, who has invested greatly in this project to develop this new ce!¡± Ding Hao said with admiration. ¡°What? Young Master Chen? I saw on the Inte that he had suffered losses in business. After all, Jin Ling Commercial Group had disbanded! Damn, is he going to build a new base for entertainment?¡± Li Mei said in awe. After she went out with Wang Liang, she sort of integrated herself into the rich circle and was very attentive to the mysterious rich people in Jin Ling. This conversation naturally attracted Zhao Yifan and Lin Jiao¡¯s attention. Apparently they had heard of this news before, and there were all kinds of assumptions online. ¡°Mei, who is this Young Master Chen that you are talking about? Is he really amazing?¡± Mrs. Li was interested as well. ¡°Mom, of course he¡¯s good but like I just said, his business had seemingly gone downhill and his group disbanded!¡± Li Mei exined. Ding Hao shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to the people online. You have to know what kind of person Young Master Chen is. This project is bigger than Jin Ling Commercial Group as Young Master Chen had bought the whole mountain and already made development ns for the surrounding areas. The early stages of the project itself had already cost him fifty to sixty billion. Even then, he would continue to invest more in the future!¡± Everyone listened with their eyes wide open. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Haha! Sost night when we saw some people making assumptions about Young Master Chen, we could only smile bitterly and shake our heads!¡± Chen Lin held her shoulders and said smugly. ¡°Oh my God, that¡¯s amazing!¡± Li Mei eximed as she reveled in this newfound knowledge. As for Zhao Yifan, she turned and looked at Chen Hao in shock. Chen Hao felt guilty under her stare. Thank goodness I didn¡¯t continue to tick him off. If Chen Hao really is Young Master Chen, then I would still have a chance, Zhao Yifan thought. ¡°Wang Liang, I didn¡¯t know you knew such a fine young man like Ding Hao. You have such good connections!¡± Mrs. Li grinned. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and find a sightseeing bus. How many people are there? I think we need a bigger bus!¡± Ding Hao said. Then, he looked in Yang Hui''s direction to get a headcount. ¡°Damn, Chen Hao?¡± Ding Hao said in shock as he didn¡¯t expect Chen Hao to be here. Chen Lin and Li Shihan also froze for a moment and looked over to Chen Hao. They didn¡¯t expect to run into Chen Hao again. Since the fight between Ding Hao and Ma Fei back then, many people were arrested, even Chen Hao was taken away by someone. It was like a p in the face for everyone. Who exactly was Chen Hao? Li Shihan and Chen Lin thought. Could he be someone of great importance? This made Chen Lin and Li Shihan very ufortable. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re here!¡± That was why when the two girls greeted Chen Hao, they were more modest this time. ¡°Huh? Ding Hao, do you know this person?¡± Wang Liang said in surprise. ¡°Hmph, yes. But we¡¯ll talk about itter. Let¡¯s go and get a sightseeing bus.¡± Ding Hao said irritably. When they started their journey, Yang Hui got behind the wheels. Meanwhile, Wang Liang sat beside him and watched. ¡°Ha! Even though Yang Hui doesn''t own a car, his driving is quite smooth!¡± Li Mei¡¯s mother praised him mockingly. ¡°Like his personality, very mature!¡± One of the girls praised as well. Thesements made Wang Liang feel ufortable. It was as if his limelight was being stolen. ¡°Damn, do you even know the way? You should have turned left! There are interesting things to see on the left, are you stupid?¡± Wang Liang sourly mocked Yang Hui. Yang Hui held it in and didn¡¯t reply. ¡°F*ck, can you go any faster? If you can¡¯t, let me drive. You''re obviously driving while sight-seeing!¡± Wang Liang mocked coldly again. Yang Hui was mocked the entire day and he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. His temper red up uncontrobly at that instant. He stomped on the gas pedal and the car sped up. Impulsiveness was the devil, this saying was not a joke. Suddenly, a little girl holding a balloon appeared running across the road to chase after her dog! ¡°Ah, Yang Hui, watch out!¡± Xu Xia shouted frantically. But there was no time for Yang Hui to hit the brakes even if he wanted to. He panicked and swerved hard to the right. Bang! Bang! Bang! Following that were a series of loud crashes. The sightseeing bus had scraped the cars that were parked by the side. The bus was almost deformed. It only stopped moving after it hit a curb. ¡°Ahhh!¡± Some pedestrians shouted. The girls in the bus screamed as well. F*ck! He was screwed! Yang Hui broke out in cold sweat. ¡°Come look! This brother is ruthless. He crashed into seven Ferraris in one go!¡± a passerby yelled. Yang Hui had already ran out of the car and was stupefied by the sight of the cars he had just crashed into. Ferrari. All of them were Ferraris. Each car on average was definitely worth millions as they were imported luxury cars! The more damning thing was that all of the cars were severely damaged, some heamps were even broken! ¡°Damn, this is mad. This boy is mad. Seven cars! Judging by the looks of it, he would have to pay millions!¡± More and more people surrounded the scene. Mrs. Xu and Xu Xia werepletely stupefied, even Mrs. Li gulped in shock. The incident with Li Yue earlier was nothingpared to this. In a blink of an eye, Yang Hui crashed into seven cars! ¡°Move aside, move aside I say!¡± Chapter 196 Chen Hao Helping Out Chapter 196 Chen Hao Helping Out Right then, Ding Hao arrived in his car, having just fetched Chen Lin and the others over. Seeing a lot of people crowding around Wang Liang and his people, he knew that there was something wrong and quickly squeezed in. With one look, Ding Hao felt as if someone had set off firecrackers in his head, the explosions leaving his mind nk. F*ck! ¡°Who did this?¡± Ding Hao asked, his face pale. ¡°Young Master Ding, it was him! It was his car!¡± Wang Liang hurriedly pointed at Yang Hui. Li Mei and the rest immediately stood by Wang Liang¡¯s side after they came to their senses again. Obviously, no one wanted to be dragged into this. The cost was almost one million! Yang Hui was definitely in trouble because he acted out of anger. What was more, he was tricked by Wang Liang to do so. He could only suffer in silence now, knowing that he got what wasing to him. It was him who crashed into the cars after all. ¡°Ugh! You¡ªyou! I really can¡¯t deal with you anymore. How can my daughter have a boyfriend like you?!¡± Xu Xia¡¯s mother had been keeping in her emotions for the whole day, and now they presented themselves as streams of hot tears flowing down her face. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about that for now. You there. Do you have any good connections? Quickly contact someone, or ask someone from home toe over now!¡± Chen Lin said mildly. ¡°What kind of connections would he have? If it were Wang Liang who did it, then the situation could have been settled since he has a wide circle of connections. Also, it happened on his good friend Young Master Ding¡¯s territory. But him? He definitely can''t settle something like this. Young Master Ding isn¡¯t familiar with him, either, so he can¡¯t possibly confront these expensive cars¡¯ owners for Yang Hui!¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Without waiting for Yang Hui to reply, Li Mei¡¯s mother had already started talking. Besides, they were all adults, their mindsets were the same. This sentence managed to push Ding Hao and Wang Liang and the others to the side, telling them not to meddle in this in order to not anger anyone. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t you have any friends in Jin Ling?¡± a girl asked. Yang Hui¡¯s face was red as he said, ¡°Of course! Chen Hao and Li Rui are my friends!¡± ¡°Ah, we aren¡¯t talking about those sorts of friends! We mean friends that are higher up, don¡¯t you have any like those?¡± one of Li Mei¡¯s roommates and close friends asked. ¡°Enough, enough! Whatever friends he has are useless now! This guy has made a huge mess this time!¡± Ding Hao said, his brows furrowed. ¡°Huh? What else did he do?¡± the crowd asked in shock. ¡°Do you all know whose cars these are?¡± Ding Hao said after a deep breath. ¡°Whose?¡± ¡°These cars belong to some of the seven big Young Masters: Young Master Bai, Young Master Huang, and Young Master Zhou!¡± Ding Hao was a little taken aback. ¡°Ding Hao, you mean Young Master Bai Xiao Fei, Young Master Huang Yong Hao, and Young Master Zhou Ze from Yu Gang City? That¡¯s too much of a coincidence, right?¡± Li Shihan had learned more these past few days that she had been spending with Ding Hao, and she asked this in surprise. Ding Hao closed his eyes and nodded heavily. ¡°It¡¯s exactly them!¡± ¡°Then what do we do now?¡± When Li Rui heard this, he panicked as well. These few young masters were even more powerful than Young Master Shen. ¡°To me, I think it¡¯s best if you quickly kneel in front of these few cars, Yang Hui. Maybe when the young masterse, they might let you go. Causing trouble with them is not as easy to settle as Li Yue''s problems from before!¡± Li Mei¡¯s mother told Yang Hui with wide eyes after Li Mei gave her a rundown of who these people were. ¡°Also, Yang Hui, since you crashed into these cars, you have toe forward and admit it yourself. Don¡¯t say that we were in your car too. Save us the embarrassment of being associated with you!¡± Li Mei¡¯s mother said again. However, right at that moment: ¡°Look! Young Master Huang and Young Master Bai areing over!¡± No one knew who yelled this, but once everyone heard that, the crowd parted like the Red Sea. Young Master Huang walked over with a bunch of rich looking youths. ¡°F*ck, who did this?¡± Huang Yonghao said as he threw his sunsses to a side and said coldly. Bai Xiaofei and the others also came forward with a bunch of other people. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it was me!¡± Yang Hui was scared and immediately bowed as he spoke. ¡°Then, you tell me, what will you do now? You! Give the car dealership a call, tell them toe over and assess the damage!¡± ¡°Also, who else was with you? Not one of you are allowed to leave!¡± Huang Yonghao said. A ck-clothed bodyguard obeyed and went to make the call. At the same time, a group of people had ¡°Ah, we¡¯re doomed! Yang Hui didn¡¯t just crash into someone¡¯s car, he also offended Young Master Huang. Now he isn¡¯t even letting us go!¡± ¡°Exactly, he¡¯s blind. He might as well have just crashed straightaway, then he wouldn¡¯t have to pay so much, right? But now things are bad! He didn¡¯t just crash into their cars, he also dragged us into it!¡± ¡°Exactly, and the most important thing is he¡¯s wasting the young masters¡¯ time to have fun!¡± Li Mei¡¯s two roommates talked amongst themselves nervously. When Li Mei and Wang Liang heard Young Master Huang¡¯s intentions, they realized that they weren''t allowed to leave either. Even sitting in Yang Hui¡¯s car got them into trouble. They felt anxious too, and looked directly at Ding Hao for help. Ding Hao also immediately understood and walked in front of Young Master Huang and Young Master Bai, saying respectfully: ¡°Respectable young masters, I am Ding Hao from Yunmeng Mountain. Young Master Bai and I met once before, hehe!¡± Huang Yonghao looked at Bai Xiaofei. Bai Xiaofei then told Huang Yonghao something. Hong Yonghao nodded and smiled. ¡°Okay, Ding Hao, what do you have to say?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this, Young Master Huang. A few of my friends were in this car. Could you spare them? This didn¡¯t have anything to do with them!¡± ¡°F*ck! You want me to f*cking spare them? Screw off! If you were in this car, then I would let you go, only because you are from Yunmeng Mountain. But if this has nothing to do with you, then stop acting all pretentious in front of me!¡± Huang Yonghao bowed down to no one. He scolded Ding Hao until thetter¡¯s face was red. Ding Hao didn¡¯t even dare to exhale, only bringing Chen Lin and the others to the side to wait for the time being. When Wang Liang saw that Young Master Ding was of no use in this situation, his heart chilled. Especially Li Mei¡¯s mother, who couldn¡¯t help but want to p Yang Hui. ¡°I think we should stop wasting everyone¡¯s time, this should just stop here!¡± At this time, a sudden voice caused the crowded situation to go silent in a second. Everyone looked toward the source of the voice. The voice came from a boy. F*ck, things should just stop here? Did he have a death wish? Was he so bored out of his mind that he thought it would be good to do that? Who did he think he was? The crowd was shocked. This boy, naturally, was Chen Hao. After this was said, even Chen Lin and Li Shihan, the ones who looked down upon him, shook their heads as they looked at Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, what are you saying?!¡± Li Mei¡¯s mother immediately scolded. Chen Hao had originally wanted to wait until the car owners showed up and fork out his own money to settle everything. But when he heard the cars belonged to Huang Yonghao and the others, Chen Hao felt conflicted. Later on, when they arrived, he saw that if he didn¡¯t help out, Yang Hui would be seriously f*cked over by them. If he did help them out, his identity would be revealed. But in this situation, trying to stay low-key and not help out was impossible. Sigh. If he were to be exposed, then so be it! There was no other way! So Chen Hao came forward. Chapter 197 Loved Before Chapter 197 Loved Before ¡°C-Chen Hao?¡± Huang Yonghao, Bai Xiaofei and the others were all shocked to silence. No one could have imagined that Young Master Chen would be here. Huang Yonghao had almost called out ¡°Brother!¡± but he held back in time. Hence, this group of rich kids excitedly surrounded Chen Hao. The crowd who was watching everything go down were shocked. ¡°Er¡­ this isn¡¯t a big problem. Originally, you all came here to have fun, right? Besides, none of youck the money to repair your cars, so why not let this go? Let¡¯s just continue where we left off and have fun!¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly and helplessly. It wasn''t like he had any other solution, seeing how things were ying out. ¡°Right, right! Chen Hao is right, totally right! We came here to have fun, so why must we resort ourselves to this bad luck? Hahaha, Chen Hao, let¡¯s leave things here. Let¡¯s go and have some drinks ¡°Sure! Later I¡¯ll meet you and we can have some drinks!¡± Chen Hao patted Bai Xiaofei and the others¡¯ shoulders and smiled. ¡°Bye, Chen Hao!¡± ¡°See youter, Chen Hao!¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± The other rich kids did not dare to joke around with Chen Hao. Instead, they respectfully bowed and said goodbye. This caused the crowd to feel even more shocked. F*ck, what kind of situation was this? After Huang Yonghao and the rest walked off, many of the others remained speechless. Li Mei, Wang Liang and Li Mei¡¯s mother were incredibly shocked. To be honest, no one had cared about Chen Hao from the start. They just felt like he was a little loser who leeched off of others, but who knew he actually knew so many young masters? A few sentences from him were enough to cate these young masters Apart from that, those people seemed pretty afraid of him. Li Mei and the others were shocked. Even now, Xu Xia¡¯s mother was also looking at Chen Hao in a different light, subconsciously standing a little closer to Chen Hao. It seemed as if she was telling others, ''Hmph! This my daughter¡¯s boyfriend¡¯s good friend, not your daughter Li Mei¡¯s boyfriend¡¯s good friend! Hmph!'' Of course, the most shocked of all were Li Shihan and Chen Lin! It was as if some kind of prediction had just been confirmed. These two girls immediately became as pale as a sheet. It looked like what happenedst time was not a coincidence. Chen Hao was really different now. Completely different, in fact. Plus, it looked like he was much more powerful than Ding Hao. It was quite obvious. Those rich kids had not given Ding Hao the time of day, yet they were so respectful toward Chen Hao. These girls were also rather observant and had seen clearly that some of them had even bowed when saying goodbye to Chen Hao! This was¡ªF*ck! The atmosphere immediately froze. Chen Hao justughed awkwardly. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s over. Let¡¯s continue having fun!¡± After that, he led Yang Hui and the others away to walk in front of the procession by themselves. ¡°F*ck, who is this youngster?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know! He looks pretty powerful to me!¡± ¡°So many young masters listened to him, so he should be a pretty important person!¡± The crowd all started to discuss. ¡°Chen Hao, d-do you want to have milk tea? I¡¯ll go buy one for you,¡± one of Li Mei¡¯s good friends asked shyly. ¡°Thanks, but I¡¯m not thirsty,¡± Chen Hao answered. ¡°Hehe, who do you think you are? A random girl buying milk tea for Chen Hao? Do you think he will just ept it?¡± Chen Lin nced at that girl and then passed her own unopened milk tea to Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, look at yourself. Your lips are dry, how can you not be thirsty? You¡¯re just too careless. You don¡¯t take care of yourself at all,¡± Chen Lin said. On the surface it seemed like she was targeting that girl, but she actually just wanted to show her better side in front of Chen Hao. Before, she had some little misunderstandings with Chen Hao, but now Chen Lin had to unravel those misunderstandings! Chen Hao also didn¡¯t know what to say. Luckily, his phone rang right then. It was a call from Li Zhenguo. ¡°Sorry, you guys go ahead. I¡¯ll go take this call and look for you allter!¡± Chen Hao found an excuse to slip away. He came to the side of theke. ¡°Young Master Chen, I¡¯d like to ask about that investment for your hometown, Ping An county, that General Director Huang mentioned. I have made a rough investment case. One starts at six billion whereas the other starts at eight billion. Additionally, the eight billion case will also affect a portion of the county¡¯s finances and there will be more factors involved. What is your take on this?¡± Li Zhenguo immediately asked. ¡°Then let¡¯s invest in the eight billion one. I agreed with General Director Huang previously that I would be involved in the re-construction of the whole county!¡± ¡°Alright, understood, Young Master Chen! I shall proceed with theyout right now!¡± After speaking, Chen Hao hung up. Then he turned around, preparing to head back. But once he turned around, Chen Hao was stunned. All along, he hadn¡¯t realized that Zhao Yifan had been standing right behind him. Currently, she was staring at Chen Hao in shock, obviously having heard everything he had said just now. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡ª!¡± Zhao Yifan¡¯s breathing started bing rapid. Just now, when Chen Hao was interacting with those rich young masters, Zhao Yifan had only assumed that her previous prediction could be correct. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. However, she stayed silent then. She just kept paying attention to Chen Hao. Only when Chen Hao took the call and mysteriously walked away, did Zhao Yifan follow him silently. If it wasn¡¯t for the silence of this area and Zhao Yifan being able to hear everything clearly for herself, she would not be able to believe that everything before her was real. Chen Hao was a rich young master, and it was almost definitely confirmed that he was Young Master Chen! Eight billion, without even blinking an eye! Zhao Yifan¡¯s whole body was on the verge of trembling. This guy, who Ma Xiaonan had tried to set her up with and who she had always looked down upon...was filthy rich! ¡°Y-You heard everything?¡± Chen Hao asked a little awkwardly. ¡°Yeah, I heard everything!¡± Zhao Yifan nodded, her face red. ¡°You¡¯re Young Master Chen, the one with infinite riches?¡± Zhao Yifan asked, shocked. ¡°Me? No, not me. I-I don¡¯t have a lot of money, did you hear wrongly? Eh? Yang Hui¡¯s calling me!¡± Chen Hao finally reacted. If he really were to admit everything, then staying low-key all this while was a waste! That was why he felt like running away. ¡°Chen Hao, I already heard everything. Why can¡¯t you just admit it?¡± Zhao Yifan blocked Chen Hao from leaving. ¡°Why can¡¯t you tell me the truth? Can you please be honest with me just once?¡± Zhao Yifan¡¯s eyes were reddening as she gripped onto Chen Hao¡¯s shoulders. ¡°You really heard wrongly, I¡¯m just a poor loser!¡± Chen Hao was almost speechless. So he quickly tugged himself away and started running back. But he had only run a couple of steps before turning back and got a shock. Zhao Yifan was walking towards the center of theke! F*ck! ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chen Hao was speechless. This was way too simr to what had happened with Yang Xia! He quickly ran over and hugged Zhao Yifan, holding her back. ¡°Let me go! Just let me die already. I treated you so badlyst time, you will never like me again! Leave me to die!¡± Zhao Yifan was remorseful. On top of that, she hated herself. She really didn¡¯t want to live anymore. But she allowed herself to be carried back onshore by Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, you still like me, right? I know that since the start, from when we first met, you already liked me, right?¡± Zhao Yifan cried devastatingly, holding onto Chen Hao¡¯s elbow tightly. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. At the beginning, you looked down on me, but I had also just gotten hurt because of Yang Xia. So when I saw a pretty girl like you, I did have some feelings toward you. To me, it didn¡¯t matter if you liked me or not, I was still quite excited when I got to see you. But now I no longer have those emotions, and I only have feelings for Su Tongxin now. So, thank you very much!¡± Chen Hao could only be honest. At the time, he did like Zhao Yifan. This was something Chen Hao was willing to admit. But when Zhao Yifan heard this, her heart felt so bitter that she almost couldn''t stand it. She really wanted to say that, before, she had a real chance at love ced in front of her very eyes... Chapter 198 I Want to Ask You Something Chapter 198 I Want to Ask You Something He finally got rid of Zhao Yifan, and the crowd started to have fun at the festival. However, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t handle the crowd¡¯s constant questioning and found an excuse to leave early. Besides, he had already achieved his goal¡ªnow Xu Xia¡¯s mother saw Yang Hui as a precious baby. Chen Hao gged down a taxi to go back to school. ¡°Mister, please stop here!¡± The moment he reached the school gates, Chen Hao saw the scene unfolding in front of him and asked the driver to stop the car. It was almost night. He noticed that there were a few expensive cars parked by the school gates. A couple of ruffians were surrounding a girl who wanted to enter the school, obviously blocking her way and not letting her pass through. The girl looked angry, even raising her hand to p a boy. They became even more fierce because of that, almost starting to take action. ¡°These little rich kids. Just because their families are rich, they think they can do everything they want. Young man, I think you should just read the situation and stop caring about these little things. There are some people we just can¡¯t afford to offend.¡± The driver looked at the scene, smiling bitterly as he shook his head. But Chen Hao just passed a hundred dor bill to him, saying that he could keep the change before he went down from the car. He walked toward the girl. The driver looked at Chen Hao¡¯s retreating figure sympathetically. ¡°Sigh. Young man, good luck!¡± After that, he left. ¡°Miss Qin Ya, don¡¯t embarrass us, okay? Our boss said that we had to invite you over today, just to have a ss or two, there¡¯s no harm in that!¡± The ruffians opened their arms and surrounded Qin Ya halfway. There were people walking by them, but no one dared to butt into a situation like this. ¡°Screw off, you guys! I don¡¯t even know your boss. Why should I have a drink with him?¡± Qin Ya scolded coldly. ¡°Hehe, Miss Qin Ya, our boss is Shen Qiang. You should have heard of him before. Speaking of which, you guys must be fated. He met you during a business conference once and couldn¡¯t forget you, but could not find your contact information!¡± ¡°But today, your fate hase! Your picture was on some guy¡¯s phone, and once we asked around, we really managed to find you! Our boss has even booked a table just for you. If you don¡¯t show up, then we¡¯ll be done for!¡± The ruffiansughed. ¡°Go away! I mean it when I say I¡¯m not going. If you all keep going on, I will call the police!¡± Qin Ya said, biting her lip. ¡°Cough, cough! Since Miss Qin Ya is so ruthless, then we won¡¯t be so courteous anymore. It looks like we will just have to use force. But once you see our boss, you will fall in love with him for sure! Hahaha!¡± ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s escort Miss Qin Ya onto the car!¡± The head of the ruffiansmanded, and a couple of his underlings pulled Qin Ya into the car by her arms. ¡°What are you all doing?! Let me go! Help!¡± Qin Ya yelled in terror. She faintly remembers having heard about someone called Shen Qiang before, who was involved with gangsters. Apart from that, he was also a wild, careless young master. The things he did were just disgusting. Qin Ya didn¡¯t know how or when she had gotten his attention, but she could roughly guess how she would end up after being taken away by him! That was why she struggled for her life. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Right at that moment, a few loud bangs sounded! Then she saw the ruffian¡¯s heads, which had been beaten and were all bleeding profusely. The person who had rushed over was, of course, Chen Hao. When he saw that the girl in question was Qin Ya, he got off the car and found two tree branches that were heavy and sturdy. Without caring about whether he would kill anyone, he came over and started beating them. There were five ruffians in total. In the blink of an eye, Chen Hao had knocked out four of them. ¡°F*ck, who are you?¡± the head ruffian was panicking and asked in shock. ¡°I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t say more and went up to hit him. That ruffian seemed to fight often, and he picked up a brick from the ground before using it in the scuffle with Chen Hao. But he still couldn¡¯t win against the fierce Chen Hao and ran off with his tail between his legs. ¡°Chen Hao, y-you¡¯re okay, right?¡± Qin Ya said in shock. ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Chen Hao wiped at the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth. ¡°Ah! Your head looks like it¡¯s bleeding!¡± Qin Ya suddenly got anxious. He didn¡¯t notice before, but his forehead was bleeding. It was the result of a sneak attack by that little goon. ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. Why did theye to mess with you?¡± Chen Hao wiped at the injury on his face. This was the first time he had ever fought like that. Luckily, he had some strength. The main thing was that he didn¡¯t care, he just focused on desperately fighting. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Once I came back today, they started harassing me through the phone. After that, they came to block me at the school gates and kept forcing me to have a meal with Shen Qiang. I don¡¯t even know him, and I don¡¯t know who gave him my contact information!¡± Qin Ya looked at Chen Hao, who had just fought for her, and her heart was filled with unspeakable emotion as she told him what happened with reddening eyes. Looks like it was that *sshole, Li Yue! Chen Hao muttered inwardly. Chen Hao definitely knew the start of everything that had happened today. Li Yue was taken away to get a scolding by Shen Qiang that afternoon. He didn¡¯t know how Shen Qiang taught Li Yue his lesson, but the fact that Shen Qiang had his eyes on Qin Ya right now was definitely the doings of Li Yue! He had always been hiding from Qin Ya, but he had still been subconsciously treating Qin Ya as his friend. He also knew that Qin Ya had treated him pretty well before, but he had disappointed her. That was why Chen Hao had always felt a little guilty toward Qin Ya. That was also why he had thrown himself into the fray carelessly when he had seen Qin Ya get into trouble. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. At first, after Chen Hao had made sure that Qin Ya was fine, he''d wanted to return to his dormitory and bandage his cuts. But Qin Ya did not allow him to, instead forcing him to go to the medical office with her. The whole way, Qin Ya clutched Chen Hao¡¯s hand tightly. But who knew what she had been thinking? She had previously been extremely worried about Chen Hao, but without him saying anything, she suddenly swung his hand away fiercely, letting him walk on his own. ¡°What is it?¡± Chen Hao said, surprised. ¡°Nothing! I¡¯m just wondering, why do I have to be worried about you, or be kind to you? You treated me so badly before. You didn¡¯t even treat me as a friend!¡± Qin Ya suddenly said, her tone aggrieved. ¡°Did you know how many times I prepared food from home for you because I wanted to go to the canteen with you and eat together? I also wanted to study with you, but you kept avoiding me. When my mom was sick, you didn¡¯t even ask about her. That¡¯s when I realized that I thought too highly of myself. I even thought¡ªI thought that you would at least treat me as a friend, maybe even¡­ haha, turns out I was overthinking!¡± Qin Ya said. ¡°You weren¡¯t supposed to save me today. I was already very disappointed in you, but now I¡¯m very grateful, too, and touched. Tell me, what do you want from me?!¡± Qin Ya stomped her foot in agitation. ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to get hurt! I really do see you as my friend!¡± Qin Ya wasn¡¯t an overly materialistic girl, which was something he hadn¡¯t seen often. She was kind and pretty, too, so of course Chen Hao would see her as a friend! ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll ask you something.¡± Qin Ya said emotionally, and stared at Chen Hao intensely. Chapter 199 Qin Ya’s Affection Chapter 199 Qin Ya¡¯s Affection ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Tell me, why were you avoiding me the past few days? You have to be honest with me! Could it be...you have a girlfriend now?¡± Qin Ya asked experimentally. Qin Ya knew that Chen Hao didn¡¯t have a good background, and just like Tong Tong and the others said, he was incredibly boring. So how could he have a girlfriend? ¡°Yup, I have a girlfriend!¡± Chen Hao nodded. Qin Ya had misunderstood him in the first ce. Yes, Chen Hao wasn¡¯t so narcissistic to think that Qin Ya would like someone like him, but the reason he was avoiding her was, in fact, because of his girlfriend! ¡°Huh? You¡¯re kidding, right?¡± She didn¡¯t know why, but Qin Ya¡¯s heart suddenly wrenched in pain. ¡°I¡¯m not kidding. I really have a girlfriend now. Her name is Su Tongxin, and she¡¯s a broadcasting student. We¡¯ve been dating for about two months now, but two days ago she went to Hong Kong to study!¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°Oh, so that''s what happened? I was just thinking, why were you always avoiding me? Turns out you had a girlfriend. Not bad! This also means you''re taking her pretty seriously!¡± Qin Ya said. ¡°That¡¯s right. I really like her, and she also cares a lot about me!¡± ¡°Oh, then you should go to the medical office yourself. I won¡¯t follow you, in case your girlfriend misunderstands anything. Apart from that, I¡¯ll tell my dad about you helping me beat those people up and he¡¯ll take care of things! Bye!¡± Qin Ya waved excitedly and walked away. ¡°Bye!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t know why Qin Ya¡¯s reactions from before and after were so different. But he didn¡¯t really pay attention. Since he was reaching the medical office anyway, he went in by himself to get his injuries bandaged. After getting bandaged, he called Tian Long and Di Hu and asked them to go deal with the Shen family. Chen Hao had learned as he went along. Whenever he was offended, regardless of how big or small the matter was, he liked to make the first move. This way, he could save a lot of trouble for himself. After bandaging his injuries, Chen Hao prepared to go back to the dormitory and sleep. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± At that moment, the medical office door opened. It was Qin Ya, who was holding onto a bag of fruits. ¡°For you!¡± Qin Ya said in a slightly huffy manner. To be honest, Qin Ya really didn¡¯t understand her own emotions right now. Why? No matter from which angle she thought about it from, Qin Ya did not have to treat Chen Hao like this. But who knew? Sometimes, affection was hard to understand and make sense of. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Qin Ya didn¡¯t even know when she started feeling a strange kind of affection toward Chen Hao. She just wanted to see him, understand him, and spend time with him. Maybe it was when Chen Hao gave her that jade bracelet. That jade bracelet was his family heirloom, and giving it to her must have been a form of confessing to her. Wasn¡¯t a ''confession'' a way to increase the affection someone felt for another? It mighte from a stranger, or maybe a best friend. The moment they confessed, the rtionship between the two would definitely start to change. If the other person didn¡¯t particrly dislike you, then the rtionship between the two would also start to feel more romantic. Obviously, Qin Ya was like that right now. She had already felt thankful and curious toward Chen Hao, and now with his confession, Qin Ya couldn''t help but imagine what it would be like to be together with him. She felt as though Chen Hao would treat her really well. But this sort of expectation was way too different from reality, and a girl aspetitive as Qin Ya would want to achieve that expectation, no matter how oundish. Of course, the premise of everything was that this person was attractive enough for a girl to feel interested in them in the first ce. That was why Qin Ya got onto Li Yue¡¯s car yesterday. She had wanted to see if Chen Hao would get agitated by it. That was also why Qin Yafelt slightly sad when she heard that Chen Hao already had a girlfriend. And that was also why Qin Ya left initially, but returned after buying fruits for Chen Hao! ¡°You went to buy fruits for me?¡± Chen Hao epted them. ¡°It¡¯s because you fought for me, that¡¯s why I bought them for you. Don¡¯t overthink it!¡± Qin Ya rolled her eyes and nced at Chen Hao, saying, ¡°Also to prevent your girlfriend from misunderstanding when she hears about it!¡± ¡°Hehe, no problem. I am not overthinking it!¡± Chen Haoughed. ¡°Right, Chen Hao. Since you said we were friends just now, then let me ask you something. What do you think about Li Yue?¡± Chen Hao had already walked out of the medical office. Qin Ya walked with him as they talked. Li Yue? Hehe, Chen Hao was beginning to realize that this person was extremely two-faced, so he couldn¡¯t be a good person! What was more, he even dared to betray Qin Ya. Then he shook his head. ¡°He''s not the best. Qin Ya, as friends, I advise you to stay away from him from now on!¡± ¡°Why?¡± Qin Ya said angrily. ¡°Because he really doesn¡¯t deserve you!¡± ¡°Well, I feel like Li Yue treats me pretty well! At least he doesn¡¯t let me down or make me wait for him all alone, and whenever I call him he will definitely show up by my side immediately. I also believe that for me, he can do anything. Why is he ''not the best'' ?¡± Qin Ya retorted. ¡°Just believe me. Even now, the reason you got tangled up with Shen Qiang is rted to him. Just be careful!¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t tell her about Li Yue¡¯s situation today, since he wasn''t the one who had seen everything personally. But this person was nothing good, and that was for sure. However, Qin Ya got angry. ¡°What do you mean? Do you mean that no one treats me wholeheartedly, and I can¡¯t ever find a boy who genuinely treats me well?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant!¡± ¡°That¡¯s exactly what you mean! Don¡¯t worry, very soon, I will find a boy who treats me genuinely. Then I will bring him to you, to prove to you¡ª¡± Qin Ya wanted to say¡ªIt isn¡¯t just you who is willing to do anything for me! But then, she remembered that Chen Hao already had a girlfriend, so there was no use in saying all this. Chen Hao also didn¡¯t know what to say. So he replied, ¡°Then I hope you find a boy who really loves you one day.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Qin Ya breathed in and turned around, preparing to leave. ¡°I can¡¯t finish these fruits, so why don¡¯t you bring some back to your dormitory to eat?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need! Since you can¡¯t eat them, then give them to me!¡± After that, Qin Ya snatched the fruits from Chen Hao and threw them into the dustbin beside them. ¡°Also! As friends, I hope you will not randomly give your most precious belonging to other girls. That will cause misunderstandings! Of course, not in my case. But just for other girls you might meet in the future!¡± After that, Qin Ya just walked away. Chen Hao also understood. He realized that Qin Ya was talking about the jade bracelet. Sigh. He should have known not to beat around the bush so much for a lie. Chen Hao went back to his dormitory. Hey down and fell asleep. Tomorrow he had to take his exam. What would happen from today onward¡­ well, who could tell? He had just prepared to sleep. Suddenly, he received some messages. Are you asleep? I still want to talk to you, I can¡¯t sleep! I feel like I went too far today, I shouldn¡¯t have thrown the fruits in the trash. But then, I was really mad! Are you there? Chen Hao. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Chapter 200 On the Way Home Chapter 200 On the Way Home "Tomorrow, after exams, let¡¯s have lunch together! Hmph, I¡¯ll wait for you!" Qin Ya sent Chen Hao a bunch of messages. Of course, Chen Hao had read them all. After some consideration, he replied, "Thanks, but I¡¯ll pass. After the exam, I have to rush home!" Since he had finished a few exams before, his ''finals'' only included tomorrow morning¡¯sst two subjects. Also, Chen Hao no longer wanted to be involved with Qin Ya anymore. After he replied, he turned off his phone, and went to sleep early. The second day, Chen Hao finished all his subjects. He finished packing his luggage. He kept his nkets and whatnot into a snakeskin bag. Originally, Li Zhenguo wanted to book a car toe and pick Chen Hao up to Ping An County. Ping An County¡¯s case was put into action after the phone call from yesterday. Li Zhenguo was already busy with Zhao Zixing and the others who had stayed behind, and he had to go back and forth. But Chen Hao did not want to be so high-key. When he went back, the first thing he wanted to do was go and see Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu. Regarding the investments, Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing could go deal with that on their own. He wanted to use these three months of summer vacation to rx and read more, as well as learn a few things. After summer vacation, there would be three more months of school. After that, they would start their internships. By then, he would truly be busy. For now, he would rx while he still could. When he turned his phone on, his messenger still showed Qin Ya¡¯s notifications. Chen Hao replied, "I¡¯m already on the way to my hometown, goodbye!" "Oh, okay then! Then I won¡¯t bother you anymore!" Chen Hao didn¡¯t reply, and Qin Ya also didn¡¯t continue. Besides, after today... they probably wouldn''t meet again, would they? Sitting on the Jin Long bus, Chen Hao finally got a chance to look at the scenery outside his window. He couldn¡¯t help but feel mncholy. To think that a few months ago, when he first arrived on the Jin Long Bus, he only had two hundred on him. At the time, he was wondering, how would he face life in the future and his school fees? It was also going to be Yang Xia¡¯s birthday soon, so how would he get money to buy her a gift? He also remembered how hard it was raining on the day he took the bus toe to school.When he was on the bus, Yang Xia hadn¡¯t forgotten to call him, saying that she had already reached school and was waiting for him so that they could have dinner together. She brought some good food from home. Back then, Yang Xia was still a rather nice girl. But this time, as he was going back home by bus, so much had happened since then. He had learned that he was from a rich family, and a pretty wealthy one at that. Yang Xia had somewhat changed, and the two of them had broken up. One thing, however, stayed the same¡ªa few months ago when he was in school, he was troubled by how he should spend his money, and now, he was still thinking of how to spend his money! Hehe. Chen Hao zoned out as he looked out the window. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± At this time, a female voice sounded from beside him. Obviously, she had only just recognized Chen Hao. Chen Hao turned and saw a pretty woman roughly twenty-five years old sitting across the aisle from him. She had on some light makeup and was dressed rather nicely. ¡°Miss Liu?¡± Chen Hao had never imagined that he would meet someone familiar on the bus. What was more, an English teacher from high school. Her name was Liu Min, and she was a substitute English teacher in his high school, having taught him for two years. She was rather young and pretty. At that time, she had just graduated from university and was teaching in high school based on her family¡¯s connections. The reason Chen Hao had such a deep impression of her was simply because Miss Liu had almost all the qualities of a modern girl. For example, she wore super revealing clothes. At the time, she wore miniskirts and crop tops when she taught her sses. And with her looks, everyone knew she had an extremely rich boyfriend who even bought her an Audi A6. She was absolutely fabulous! Of course, her most obvious trait was that she loved the rich and hated the poor. Just like his tutor, Meng Cairu. The rich students were all her good friends. But the ones with no money or power, well, they could die before her eyes and she wouldn¡¯t even bat an eyelid. At times, she couldn''t be scrupulous about her words and it could be pretty hurtful, so Chen Hao had a deep impression toward her. ¡°Damn, what a coincidence! This is my first time taking a bus and I just so happened to run into you!" Liu Minughed bitterly. As if she was afraid that people would think she was the type of woman who always took the bus. ¡°Min, who is he? Your student?¡± a handsome young man in a suit next to Liu Min asked. ¡°Yeah, I told you before, right? That ss I was in charge of had this one poor kid who would bring two buns and a bag of pickled vegetables to ss and that would be his only meal for the whole day. You know, right?¡± ¡°Oh yeah, I remember!¡± ¡°Yup, this is him! Speaking of which, I haven¡¯t seen him in almost three years! He went to a pretty good college, Jin Ling College!¡± ¡°Sigh. There was a kid named Li Xiao in my ss who was a pretty good student. Sadly, he didn¡¯t have any luck with college. If the world was in his favor, he would have gone to Jin Ling College! Too bad. The ones who should have gone didn¡¯t end up going, and vice versa! Really!¡± Liu Min said unhappily. "Anyway, Chen Hao. I haven¡¯t seen you in two or three years, right? You''re pretty charismatic now! You also don¡¯t look as self-conscious anymore. Looks like going to the city was good for you!¡± Liu Min said lightly. ¡°Thank you, Miss Liu! You too, you¡¯re even prettier than before!¡± Chen Hao replied. To be honest, he didn¡¯t have a good impression of Liu Min. But who cares? She was his teacher after all, so why hold grudges? ¡°Hehe, you even have a silver tongue now. You should just be more straightforward and honest, don¡¯t learn those kinds of things. It¡¯s the samepliments, but out of your mouth I somehow feel unhappy!¡± Liu Min said, straight-faced. Rich people¡¯spliments make you feel good, but poor people¡¯spliments probably don¡¯t give you any satisfaction. It was that simple. Chen Hao thought. But on the surface, he changed the subject: ¡°Miss Liu, where did you both go this time?¡± ¡°Hehe, we travelled overseas! If not, do you think we would take the bus back, really? Anyway, you wouldn¡¯t know!¡± Liu Min affectionately held onto the besuited man¡¯s arm. Chen Hao just nodded. Seeing that Liu Min no longer paid attention to him, he also stopped talking and turned toward the window, continuing to look at the scenery. Very soon, the bus reached Ping An County. The passengers all got off the bus. Chen Hao also carried his luggage, nning to get a taxi to go back. ¡°Hey, since Chen Hao is here, let¡¯s have him carry our suitcases to the pick-up spot. How can that driver of yours bete for such a little thing? How will he be in the future?¡± Liu Min and her boyfriend each had one suitcase, and it looked like neither of them wanted to carry it. They probably felt as though it was embarrassing. They just happened to see Chen Hao, and Liu Min waved to him: ¡°Chen Hao,e here! Help us lift our suitcases! I can¡¯t move it!¡± Liu Min didn¡¯t wait for Chen Hao to agree, instead pushing her suitcase in front of him. Can¡¯t move it? Then just go and die! Chen Hao scolded inwardly. But thinking about it, oh well. He wouldn¡¯t lose anything by helping his teacher lift her suitcase. One hand on his own luggage, his other hand pulling the other two¡¯s suitcases, he followed them and walked out of the station. ¡°Darling, this Ping An County financing you mentioned, can your family get the funds? If you do, then ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. you will really be rich! Haha, thinking about how our Ping An County will be a county-level city makes me super excited!¡± Liu Min held on to her boyfriend¡¯s arm as she spoke. ¡°Hehe, of course! My dad¡¯spany counts as a more powerful one in Ping An County!¡± As her boyfriend spoke arrogantly: ¡°Huh? Why are there so many cars outside the station? And they are all cars frompanies in the county, looks like these people are here to fetch someone.¡± ¡°Yeah, isn¡¯t that Jiang? Why is he here?¡± Chapter 201 Causing Drama in Front of the Intensive Care Unit Chapter 201 Causing Drama in Front of the Intensive Care Unit ¡°Mr. Jiang Hanping is the head of the county. Who could possibly get him to wait for them at the bus station?¡± Liu Min said in shock. Could it be the town police? It couldn¡¯t be. The town police wouldn¡¯t have taken a bus here on their own. ¡°Liu Min, wait here. I¡¯m going to go greet him!¡± Liu Min¡¯s boyfriend straightened his suit and fixed his hair, and was about to head over. ¡°Are you sure, Li Jiaqiang? Will County Head Jiang bother about you?¡± Liu Min asked worriedly. ¡°He probably will, since he knows my father and I¡¯ve already had two meals with him!¡± Li Jiaqiang said confidently before walking over. Liu Min did not dare to go over. Everyone there looked like big shots, and the leaders of the Education Bureau were standing there too. As a subordinate of a subordinate, of course she didn¡¯t have the guts to show her face. As for Li Jiaqiang, he went in a sh and also returned in a sh. When he walked over there, he looked excited and happy, thinking that greeting the county head at an asion like this was good for his reputation. But when he returned, his head was hanging low and his face was as red as a tomato. ¡°Huh? What happened, Li Jiaqiang? Did County Head Jiang not respond to you? Sigh. I told you. There are so many well-known figures there, so you shouldn¡¯t have gone over.¡± ¡°Yeah. County Head Jiang is here to pick someone up, and this person seems like a big shot. I think they were talking about that big boss Young Master Chen, the one who wants topletely change Ping An County. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s him, though. If it were Young Master Chen, why would he take the bus here?¡± Li Jiaqiang wondered, confused. ¡°Sigh. Maybe County Head Jiang just didn¡¯t want to tell you the truth. We should go first. There are still a few leaders of the Education Bureau here, and we don¡¯t want to trouble them,¡± Liu Min said hurriedly. Li Jiaqiang nodded. They rushed Chen Hao to walk faster as well. Chen Hao followed behind them, hearing them talk about Young Master Chen. Could it be¡­ Were they here for him? He wondered. But he had already told Li Zhenguo not to make a big deal out of it, and that he would go home and deal with his own matters first. He clearly told Li Zhenguo to leave it. But at that moment, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t exactly go over and confirm it for himself. That was why he just brushed it off. Once he brought Liu Min and her boyfriend¡¯s luggage to the exit of the bus station, their driver arrived. ¡°Ugh, it¡¯s so warm! Li, quickly put the luggage away and let¡¯s go!¡± Liu Min said unkindly to the driver. After putting away their luggage, the driver drove away with Liu Min and her boyfriend. Chen Hao, who was standing at the side carrying his own luggage, was bewildered. F*ck! Even if they only saw him as a servant, they could still say goodbye to him, right? In the car, Li Jiaqiang looked at Chen Hao standing nkly at the exit through the rearview mirror before saying to Liu Min guiltily, ¡°Liu Min, we forgot to say goodbye to your student over there. We should have asked him where he was headed and gave him a ride.¡± ¡°Why should we? Aren¡¯t you afraid that he would dirty our car? He¡¯s just a poor idiot. You don¡¯t need to care about him!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Whereas for Chen Hao, after he scolded Liu Min inwardly for a minute, he gged down his own car to head home. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. He also didn¡¯t forget to give a call to Uncle Wu¡¯s household on the way. He wanted to let them know that they didn¡¯t have to prepare a meal. They just needed to wait for him to go home because he would be buying some dishes and alcohol to have with Uncle Wu. However, theirndline rang for a long time. No one was picking up. After three redials, only then did a faint voice finally answer the phone. ¡°Hello? Who are you looking for?¡± ¡°Aunt Wu, it¡¯s me, Chen Hao. Where¡¯s Uncle Wu?¡± ¡°Ah! Chen Hao, it¡¯s you. Are you back home for the holidays?¡± Aunt Wu asked, pleasantly surprised. Chen Xiao and Chen Hao had basically been brought up by Uncle and Aunt Wu since they were young. That was why the pair of siblings had a very close rtionship with Uncle and Aunt Wu. They thought of them as if they were their own grandparents. A few years ago, Chen Xiao had been the first to leave. However, she still had to be raised in a poor manner, so she did not have a way to fully support Uncle and Aunt Wu. She could only secretly aid them. So in general, Uncle Wu¡¯s family¡¯s quality of life was still the same. And once Chen Xiao heard that Chen Hao was going back for the holidays, her first thought was about the matters of the Wu Family. Naturally, Chen Hao would not have forgotten about it. ¡°Ahem. Your uncle has been admitted to the hospital at noon, and it just so happened that I came home to get some things, which is why I managed to pick up your call.¡± ¡°What? Admitted to hospital? Where?¡± He heard Aunt Wu¡¯s rather unhappy tone and Chen Hao¡¯s heart sank as he asked anxiously. So, Aunt Wu told him the address. It just so happened that the hospital was located within the county. When Chen Hao reached the hospital, Aunt Wu had also arrived in a one-person van from town. Chen Hao helped Aunt Wu along as they walked toward the operating room in the emergency department. Aunt Wu told him that Uncle Wu had fainted while eating in the afternoon because of some heart problems. She was shocked and immediately called for an ambnce, and he hadn¡¯t been out of the operating room since. ¡°Why do we have to shoulder all the payments? Brother, aren¡¯t you just bullying others? He is your father too!¡± In front of the operating room, a woman with tattooed eyebrows that resembled caterpirs was talking to a couple. On the other side, there were a few more couples and some young people. Chen Hao looked closely and realized that they were Uncle Wu¡¯s two sons and two daughters, as well as his grandchildren. Obviously, they had arrived after getting to know that something happened to Uncle Wu. ¡°That¡¯s a bit insulting. Our dad has always lived with you while I¡¯ve been working outside. Plus, I¡¯m only asking you to pay in advance and not the full amount, so why are you so worried? In the end, the four of us should split the fees equally!¡± said the eldest child, who worked away from home for most of the year. He folded his arms and took a puff of his cigarette. ¡°What do you mean, all four of us should split the fees equally? You two brothers should take the brunt of it, whereas us two sisters should pay a smaller amount. Besides, my daughter is graduating from college this year and she¡¯s just about to start her internship. Is getting her a job not going to cost me money?¡± said the third child indignantly. Chen Hao finally understood. They were arguing because of the medical fees. When Aunt Wu saw this, she was so angry she almost fainted. ¡°Can all of you stop arguing?! None of you need to pay these fees! I¡¯ll pay, and if I don¡¯t have any money, then I¡¯ll sell my kidneys! None of you need to pay a cent!¡± Aunt Wu stomped her foot angrily. ¡°Sigh. Mom, don¡¯t be angry. I don¡¯t have a lot of money left because I have been setting up some ¡°How much are the fees?¡± Chen Hao piped up suddenly. ¡°Oh? Chen Hao is back!¡± The crowd turned to look at Chen Hao. ¡°Hmph! What amount of medical fees can you even afford? You¡¯re just asking on purpose!¡± Wu Qian mocked. This young girl was the same age as Chen Hao. Because Uncle Wu had always doted on Chen Hao, Wu Qian had always felt unhappy ever since she was young. Why was Uncle Wu like this? He didn¡¯t dote on his own granddaughter, but rather a little poor kid. ¡°Probably being pretentious, acting as if he¡¯s capable!¡± said another young man. His name was Wu Chao, and he was the one who had apany set up for him. He behaved just like Wu Qian, because he didn¡¯t particrly like Chen Hao either. It was mainly because Chen Hao had always been good at his studies since young and their grandparents had alwayspared him to Chen Hao. The constantparison caused him to start feeling jealous. Chen Hao had always known that Wu Qian and Wu Chao didn¡¯t like him, so he didn¡¯t say anything. Right at that moment, a nurse walked over. The nurse said lightly, ¡°When will you all pay the medical fees? It¡¯s 130,000 in total. Putting it together wouldn¡¯t take you that long, right?¡± The eldest child then said, ¡°Just listen to me. Brother, just pay the fees in advance. I will pay you back afterward!¡± ¡°Why me?¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± A few secondster, another argument started to break out. The second brother¡¯s wife started to argue with the third sister over little things, talking about how Aunt Wu secretly gave money to third sister and what not. Then, they started tearing each other apart. It was messy beyond belief. The nurse did not hide the disgust on her face. ¡°I¡¯ll go pay first, then,¡± Chen Hao said softly to the nurse, shaking his head helplessly. ¡°You?¡± Chapter 202 Treating an Old Classmate to Lunch Chapter 202 Treating an Old ssmate to Lunch The nurse hesitantly brought Chen Hao to the cashier counter downstairs. Why was she hesitant? By just one nce, his dressing resembled someone who didn¡¯t have a lot of money. 130,000 was not a small sum to an average family, so how was someone like him supposed to afford it? But Chen Hao quickly proved her wrong. He did not only pay the 130,000 worth of medical fees, but also the fees for the ward. In total, he had paid 200,000. He did so without even blinking an eye. The nurse was shocked. Chen Hao didn¡¯t care about her. He left straight away and walked back upstairs. They were still arguing. ¡°Brothers, sisters, please stop fighting. I have already paid all the fees!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Huh?¡± Everybody quietened down immediately. The siblings were all staring at him in shock. Even Wu Qian and Wu Chao stared at Chen Hao in disbelief. ¡°You paid all of it? Chen Hao, that¡¯s 130,000. Where did you get that money?¡± the eldest sibling asked. ¡°Hmph. He didn¡¯t just pay 130,000. This handsome man paid 200,000 in total, including the fees for the ward!¡± said the nurse, who had suddenly appeared. ¡°200,000?!¡± The crowd was dumbfounded. Wu Qian and Wu Chao were red in the face. They had just mocked Chen Hao, but now he had really paid for everything. Was this not a huge p to their faces? Immediately, Wu Chao said indignantly, ¡°You didn¡¯t steal this money, did you?¡± ¡°Right! A few days ago, there was some news on the inte saying that someone had lost their money. Chen Hao, you didn¡¯t take someone¡¯s money and not return it, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s exactly what must have happened! Watch out, because if they report you to the police, this 200,000 willnd you in jail!¡± Wu Chao warned him hatefully. Since he ran businesses, he knew quite a lot. This sentence scared Aunt Wu, so she asked, ¡°Chen Hao, how did you get this money?¡± ¡°Ah, I won the lottery and got some money. Don¡¯t worry, Aunt Wu!¡± Chen Hao smiled softly. There was nothing to hide about his identity from Aunt Wu, but in his current situation, he didn¡¯t know how to exin it to her. That was why he just made up an excuse. But when Wu Qian and Wu Chao heard this, their eyes widened. Especially Wu Qian. She asked urgently, ¡°How much did you win?¡± This question was something an adult would not ask directly, but a little girl like Wu Qian was unable to hold in her shock. Her grandfather had always nagged about how good Chen Hao was, and how he wanted to matchmake her and Chen Hao. But who would like a poor idiot like Chen Hao? That was why Wu Qian immediately refused. When she heard that Chen Hao had won the lottery, her whole body trembled. F*ck, if he really became a rich man, then wouldn¡¯t she have to regret her decision down to her bones? ¡°Tell us quickly, Chen Hao. How much did you win?¡± Wu Qian stomped her foot. Chen Hao just smiled before putting up five fingers. ¡°Huh? 500,000?¡± Wu Qian was so shocked that her eyes widened. Aunt Wu was, however, delighted. ¡°Ah? Chen Hao, did you really win 500,000?¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t worry about the money. Just rx. This time, no matter how much money Uncle needs, I will pay for it all.¡± He then helped Aunt Wu to sit down. Wu Qian, however, was more nervous than ever. What now? Listening to Chen Hao¡¯s tone, he didn¡¯t seem to just have won 500,000! Could it be¡­ five million? Oh God! Wu Qian was more panicked the more she thought about it, but Chen Hao started to feel yful. He purposely left out the actual amount, just to let them guess among themselves. For two days, Chen Hao didn¡¯t go home and stayed at the hospital to apany Uncle Wu. The good news was that he was going to recover, and he just needed to stay in the hospital for a few days longer. Today afternoon, Chen Hao apanied Uncle and Aunt Wu to finish their meals. He started to feel hungry himself, so he made his way to the hospital canteen to have a meal. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Chen Hao? You really came back!¡± When he arrived at the stall he wanted to order from, somebody suddenly tapped on his shoulder. Chen Hao turned back and saw a girl with a ponytail, who looked rather pretty and had makeup on. But even with the makeup on, Chen Hao still recognized her. ¡°You¡¯re Li Mingxue?¡± Chen Hao was a little taken aback. Of course Chen Hao recognized this girl. She was his high school ssmate, and they were in the same ss. She used to be the representative for English ss if he wasn¡¯t mistaken, and her name was Li Mingxue. At that time, she could only be considered averagely pretty. But after not seeing her for three to four years, she looked both sexy and pretty especially after putting makeup on. It was a rather big change. To be honest, Chen Hao had already mentally prepared himself for when he met his old ssmates when he returned home. The ones who were supposed to be working were already working. ¡°I saw your picture today in our English representatives group chat. It was taken by Miss Liu Min, and you were carrying a luggage. That¡¯s how I knew you came back! What a coincidence!¡± Li Mingxue said as she tidied her hair. They had already graduated, but some teachers would keep the contact numbers of some of the ss representatives whom they liked. This wasmon practice. F*ck! Chen Hao was taken aback. When did Liu Min take a picture of him? Why didn¡¯t he realize it? It was probably when he had gotten off the bus. When she yelled for him to help with their luggage, she was pointing her phone toward him and was moving it around. It was probably taken then. F*ck! This b*tch... Chen Hao cursed her silently. How immoral! ¡°Right. Why are you at the hospital? Do you have any rtives who are patients here?¡± Li Mingxue was chatting casually with Chen Hao. Back then, she rarely talked to him, but now, she must have undergone the changes that came from working, and she seemed quite amicable. ¡°Yup, my uncle is here! What about you? Do you have any rtives who are patients too?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Hehe, I know plenty of patients. Later on, you can greet me when you are at your uncle¡¯s side, and we can reduce some unnecessary procedures!¡± Li Mingxue smiled lightly. ¡°Ah, I get it. You¡¯re a doctor here, right?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Yeah! I¡¯m doing an internship here as a clinician, and I can start working here for real after a bit more time!¡± Li Mingxue said, slightly proud. ¡°That¡¯s pretty good!¡± Li Mingxue seemed to have quite a few connections because of her family, but this was normal. When it was close to graduation time, these things were inevitable. The ones with connections fed off those connections, and the ones without had to wait for a miracle. It was just that simple. It was Chen Hao¡¯s turn to order his food. ¡°You don¡¯t need to order because I¡¯ll treat you to this meal today! Miss, two orders please!¡± Li Mingxue waved the card in her hand, and the cafeteriady gave them both full bowls. It was filled to the brim with good food. ¡°We¡¯re still high school ssmates, and after all these years without meeting each other, you won¡¯t reject a meal from me, right?¡± Li Mingxue covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°Of course not. I can only thank you. This looks pretty good!¡± The two of them sat down. Li Mingxue started the conversation smoothly and started talking about her life for the past two years. It seemed to Chen Hao that she was bragging about how she was mixing around with a better crowd Chen Hao just listened, asionally throwing in a fewpliments. At this moment, a young male doctor wearing a standard white coat walked toward Li Mingxue. ¡°Mingxue, who is this?¡± ¡°Ah, this is my high school ssmate! We happened to meet, so I treated him to a meal. Hehe, Chen Hao, this is my boyfriend who I told you about just now. His name is Li Gang and his father is the Assistant Head of Department!¡± Li Mingxue said with a smile. ¡°Ah, your high school ssmate? How could you just treat him to a meal from the cafeteria? You should book a restaurant at least, just to properly reminisce!¡± Li Gang said, smiling. ¡°Ahem. I still have work in the afternoon, how would I have the time? Besides, Chen Hao, you don¡¯t mind, right?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t mind!¡± Chen Hao nodded, eating a few mouthfuls of rice. Actually, he really felt that this was pretty good. Apart from that, he just listened to Li Gang and Li Mingxue chat. ¡°Right, don¡¯t you have some high school ssmates visiting tonight? Li Chao and the others came for the holidays, right? I checked just now, and you have a night shift today,¡± Li Gang said. ¡°Huh? In that case, can you help me change my shift? Li Chao and the others have been my good friends since high school, so I should treat them properly since they¡¯re back here for the holidays, even if I need to take my leave. I haven¡¯t seen them in three to four years anyway. Right, have you booked the restaurant like I told you to?¡± Li Mingxue asked. ¡°Yup, I booked Jin Ruyi Restaurant!¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s too low of a standard. Book the Bao Sheng Grand Hotel instead. They are old ssmates that I haven¡¯t seen in three to four years, so you can¡¯t make me seem so stingy in front of them!¡± ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll change the location. Right, when will you treat your dean to a meal? Just so you can settle your thing. Your dean is someone who is under the department head, so my father can¡¯t really do anything.¡± Li Gang smiled bitterly. ¡°Hmph! Just mentioning him makes me angry. I don¡¯t want to eat anymore! How annoying!¡± Li Mingxue was so angry that she threw her chopsticks down. Chen Hao could guess that Li Mingxue seemed to have some problems... Chapter 203 Come Over Here! Chapter 203 Come Over Here! ¡°Hmph! Why? Why can he convert others to be permanent employees, but not me? To be honest, he¡¯s just insulting your dad. Does he not know our rtionship? He would rather convert others to permanent employees than me!¡± Li Mingxue was so angry that she almost threw her chopsticks. Li Gang just stayed by her side, advising her. Chen Hao ate and listened at the same time, and he managed to get the gist of it. Basically, Li Mingxue had the chance to be an intern clinician because of Li Gang¡¯s father, who was the Assistant Head of Department. Of course, Li Mingxue had some talents and her practical skill was not bad, so she achieved the approval of everyone in the hospital, including the patients. But Li Gang¡¯s father seemed to be facing off with the Head of Department. Thus, Li Mingxue became the sacrifice between the two¡¯s feud. It seemed that it would be hard for her to be appointed as an official doctor, and not being able to achieve that had a rather obvious oue: leaving the hospital. The positions were given to those under the Head of Department, but the interns under him were too far off from her level to bepared to her. It looked like that dean was purposefully causing trouble for Li Gang¡¯s father. And ording to what Li Gang said, his father was about to retire, and his privilege and power was lessening by quite a lot. That was why things were quite awkward. This was a problem that seemed impossible to solve. That was why Li Mingxue wanted to treat Li Chao and the others. Chen Hao knew Li Chao and the others too, since they were also from the same ss. Li Chao¡¯s father worked in the hospital, and his mother worked in the Public Health Bureau. They were quite well- known. Li Mingxue and Li Gang continued their discussion heatedly. Chen Hao felt rather awkward listening from the side. He quickly finished his food. ¡°Are you done? Are you full already? I have quite a bit to take care of here, sorry I couldn¡¯t entertain you,¡± Li Mingxue said to Chen Hao in a mild manner. Her attitude was no longer as enthusiastic as before. To be fair, everyone in society was only polite on the surface nowadays. At most, they would just give you three minutes of kindness, and after a while, who cared about who you were? ¡°It¡¯s alright. Li Mingxue, just now you mentioned that your job wasn¡¯t going well. Don¡¯t worry about it too much. Just rx, everything will be fine!¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t just finish the meal and walk away like that. That was why he also gave a word offort. Chen Hao even had the thought, If I can help, then I¡¯ll help. Despite being able to tell that Li Mingxue didn¡¯t regard him very highly, she had still treated him to a meal. Regardless of the price, it was still a good sentiment. So Chen Hao wanted to see if he could help somehow, to return that favor. ¡°Thank you, Chen Hao. Right, tell us your uncle¡¯s room number. I¡¯ll ask Li Gang to give them some orders.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Hao told them the room number. After that, he didn¡¯t bother Li Mingxue and her boyfriend any longer. He went back to Uncle Wu and took care of him. At the same time, he had called Li Zhenguo and told him to help out, asking him to help ce Li Mingxue in the hospital. This naturally wasn¡¯t much of a problem. Since Chen Hao had invested heavily this time, apart from building his independent businesses, he had also invested in quite a few of Ping An County¡¯s industries. Of course, that also included the medical education field. ¡°Oh right, Young Master Chen. Are you free tonight?¡± Li Zhenguo asked after a pause. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Well, Young Master Chen, Ping An County¡¯s leaders know that you have returned a few days ago. I¡¯m the one to me, since I identally told them that when we were having a drink. They actually made a trip to the bus station to pick you up, but they didn¡¯t manage to catch you. But now, they have organized a weing party to celebrate your return. They wanted me to ask if you had the time?¡± ¡°Tonight¡­ alright, I¡¯ll stop by!¡± They were really there for him that day at the station exit. To be honest, ditching someone to this extent caused Chen Hao to feel a little embarrassed. As for the wee party tonight, if Chen Hao didn¡¯t go, that would really be unreasonable. That was why he agreed. In the afternoon, Chen Hao waited for Uncle Wu to fall asleep before leaving for the party. The location was at a hotel called Chun Hua Grand Hotel in Ping An County. Since attracting investments was a big thing in any area, the weing party was treated with importance by many. Quite a few businessmen from Ping An County also made an appearance. Because Chen Hao had to take care of Uncle Wu, he didn¡¯t arrive with Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing, ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. who had arrived first. At this moment, Chen Hao looked into the building and prepared to go in. On the other side, a car stopped at a parking space and a man and woman got out, hand in hand. The woman was dressed extravagantly, and the man was dressed in a tuxedo. The womanined, ¡°Ugh, I told you that we needed toe early. Look at the time now! Ugh!¡± The man retorted, ¡°Hmph. Is it my fault? It¡¯s all because of you. You took so long to do your makeup! My father even made a few calls and asked us to hurry up since Young Master Chen ising today! It would be so embarrassing if we werete!¡± This couple was none other than Liu Min and her husband, Wang Qiang. ¡°Enough, let¡¯s go in!¡± Wang Qiang said. Suddenly, as he nced around, he saw that another boy had walked into the hotel. He pointed at him in surprise and said, ¡°Liu Min, look! Isn¡¯t that boy your student, the one named Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Huh? What? You¡¯re seeing things aren¡¯t yo¡ªDamn! It really is him!¡± Liu Min was shocked at the mention of his name, so she turned to look at where Wang Qiang was pointing. She was taken aback. ¡°Chen Hao! Stay there!¡± Chen Hao was prepared to head inside, but once he heard someone call him, he turned back to look. Coincidentally, it was Liu Min. ¡°Miss Liu, why are you here?¡± Chen Hao greeted them with a smile. To be honest, Chen Hao wanted to kick Liu Min. ¡°You¡¯re asking me? We¡¯re surprised too! Do you even know where this is or what¡¯s happening here today? What are you doing here?¡± Liu Min asked, her arms folded. Without waiting for Chen Hao to answer, she suddenly looked like she hade to a realization. ¡°I know! You¡¯re here to work, right? Hehe, that¡¯s not bad, Chen Hao. I couldn¡¯t tell before, but you have an eye for this! You knew that Chun Hua Grand Hotel would be busy tonight, so you came here after getting the word, right? Not bad, not bad!¡± Liu Min smiled and nodded. ¡°Alright, do your job well! I¡¯ll remember to tip youter!¡± Liu Min patted Chen Hao¡¯s shoulder before walking in hand-in-hand with Wang Qiang. Hehe¡­ Chen Hao could only shake his head andugh bitterly. ¡°You¡¯re going to regret thatter, woman!¡± After that, he also entered the hall. There were quite a few people in the hall, and it was rather packed. Chen Hao was wringing his hands as he searched for Li Zhenguo and the others. Suddenly, a small object was thrown at him, hitting his face. Damn! Who was it? They must be bored to death! Chen Hao turned, only to see theughing Liu Min at a table by his side. She was covering her mouth while sheughed. There were a few young women sitting with her, looking as if they knew each other and had a rather close rtionship. They were all looking at Chen Hao as theyughed. ¡°Why are you standing there so dazedly? Come over here!¡± Liu Min yelled, looking at Chen Hao. Chapter 204 Old Classmates Meeting Again Chapter 204 Old ssmates Meeting Again Chen Hao frowned, but he still walked over. A woman who was sitting at the table asked, ¡°Miss Liu, isn¡¯t he that student of yours? He is pretty good-looking! But why isn¡¯t he in his uniform?¡± ¡°Yeah, all of the waiters here are in uniforms except for him. Really?¡± ¡°He¡¯s probably a handyman. Where there¡¯s work, he will be there. After all, he isn¡¯t a permanent worker and is only a temp!¡± Liu Min exined. ¡°Haha, is that so? Come here, little man. Come here next to me, there¡¯s an empty seat. You should sit down and chat with us!¡± ¡°Yeah, you cutie! Don¡¯t be shy! Look, it¡¯s a rare chance that you get to sit with so many rich CEOS and businessmen. You have to treasure this opportunity!¡± The few twenty-something-year-old women saw that Chen Hao looked rather fresh and youthful, so they felt yful. Whereas Liu Min rolled her eyes at Chen Hao and said, ¡°What are you waiting for? Didn¡¯t you hear, Xin and the others are asking you to sit down! Really, you¡¯re such a fool! Did four years of college teach you nothing?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t refuse these women¡¯s invitations. He thought, Fine. I¡¯ll just sit down first, then join Li Zhenguo and the otherster when I see them. Adding on to the fact that he was mocked by Liu Min, Chen Hao felt even angrier. Why? Seeing as they were teachers and students once, she had bossed him around ever since they met at the bus station, but he didn¡¯t even get a word of thanks. And now, the moment he walked in the hotel, she started mocking him. He came to attend the weing party, but ended up being mocked at. Chen Hao kept a low profile, but he wasn¡¯t a punching bag for others to mock andugh at. That was why he sat down unashamedly. ¡°Hmph! How innocent and pitiful. You actually sat down when we asked you to!¡± As expected, Liu Min mocked him again. That made the few women at the table startughing. These women were the rich wives of many important figures in Ping An County, and their husbands also had businesses in Jin Ling City. They were pretty powerful. Whereas Liu Min was just a substitute teacher. That was why she was sucking up to them on asions like these. Seeing that they were happy made her even more excited. p! Liu Min pped Chen Hao¡¯s head. ¡°Damn, get up and pour some wine for Xin and the others. Do you think you¡¯re some kind of rich second generation?¡± This scene made the whole tableugh again. Chen Hao was silent as he stood up to pour the wine. Except when he reached Liu Min, he purposely tilted it more aggressively. The opening of the bottle was directed at Liu Min¡¯sp and the wine spilled on her. It spilled all over her dress. ¡°Argh! F*ck! My dress!¡± Liu Min yelled immediately. ¡°Chen Hao, do you even know how to pour wine? Do you want to die? Do you know how expensive this dress is?!¡± Liu Min said angrily. The event was just about to start. How could she meet people looking like this? But Chen Hao appeared to be dim-witted. Obviously, this idiot had never experienced an event like this, so he messed up in his nervousness. But the wine-pouring was her own idea, so Liu Min couldn¡¯t scold him too harshly. ¡°It¡¯s my fault, it¡¯s really my fault! I shouldn¡¯t have asked you to sit here in the first ce. If I hadn¡¯t, my dress wouldn¡¯t have been dirtied! Argh, why are you standing there? I¡¯m going to the restroom, get me some tissues quickly!¡± Her husband, Wang Qiang, had already gone to the side to converse with some of his seniors. It wouldn¡¯t look good to bring some tissues to the bathroom on her own, so she poked Chen Hao¡¯s head as she bossed him around. ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Hao looked at Liu Min and scoffed. In the end, he nodded in agreement. Thus, he followed Liu Min to the restroom. ¡°F*ck! I asked you to bring a box of tissues but you only brought me one piece?!¡± Liu Min got even angrier. She was extremely aggravated. The sink was public, which sat in the middle of the male and female restrooms. Right at this moment, a girl walked out from the restroom at the side. She came over to wash her hands. She spotted Liu Min and said in disbelief, ¡°Huh? Miss Liu, is that you?¡± ¡°Mingxue? Why are you here at Chun Hua Grand Hotel? Didn¡¯t you mention that you were going to Bao Sheng tonight in the group chat?¡± Liu Min also asked in surprise. The girl used to be her ss representative, and the one who was working at the County Hospital now. Her name was Li Mingxue! ¡°Don¡¯t even talk about it. Bao Sheng isn¡¯t open for business temporarily, so I booked Chun Hua instead. It seems like there¡¯s some big event in Chun Hua Grand Hotel tonight, too. Luckily we booked it early, if not, we wouldn¡¯t have gotten to book here either!¡± Li Mingxueined as she folded her arms. It seemed as though she didn¡¯t notice Chen Hao, who was standing to the side. ¡°Miss Liu, what happened to your clothes? There¡¯s wine on them!¡± Li Mingxue asked. ¡°Hmph! Tell me about it. I came here for a business event, but this *sshole Chen Hao caused this! It¡¯s everywhere!¡± Liu Min red at Chen Hao. Only then did Li Mingxue notice Chen Hao at the side. Chen Hao smiled as he waved at Li Mingxue. Li Mingxue also greeted Chen Hao.¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re here too? Don¡¯t tell me, you¡¯re here to take part in the business event with Miss Liu?¡± Li Mingxue asked in surprise. ¡°Hmph! Him? He came here as a part-timer. How can he ever take part in any business event?¡± Liu Min said unhappily. The stain couldn¡¯t be removed no matter how hard she tried.The event was about to start, so Liu Min could only walk out sorrowfully. ¡°Hey, Li Chao, take a look! Who¡¯s this?¡± Li Mingxue walked out with Liu Min, and right then, some boys walked out of a room from the first floor lobby. They were Li Mingxue¡¯s boyfriend, Li Gang, as well as Li Chao and the others from Chen Hao¡¯s ss. Speaking of which, Chen Hao hadn¡¯t met Li Chao and the others in quite a few years. They hadn¡¯t contacted each other often in high school, let alone in college. So when they excitedly came over and surrounded Liu Min to greet her, Chen Hao didn¡¯t butt in or take the initiative to greet them. Instead, he listened by the side quietly. ¡°Li Chao, you were the most handsome in ss back then, and you¡¯re as handsome as ever now! So, what are you going to do after graduation?¡± Liu Min asked Li Chao. Li Chao was wearing a tuxedo with his hairbed back, looking rather put-together. He was handsome, that was for sure. Most importantly, even though he wasn¡¯t the richest in high school, he was the one with the most connections because of his family, so he was rather admired by the teachers. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m waiting for my family to arrange something for me!¡± Li Chao yawned. He didn¡¯t need to say anything for them to know that he had secured a position in a public institution. It really caused them to admire him. ¡°Li Chao, even though your future is secured, you can¡¯t forget about everyone else. Ming Xue is working in the hospital now, so you should help whenever you can!¡± Liu Min didn¡¯t forget about her ss representative. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s no problem!¡± ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t Chen Hao your high school ssmate? Why does it seem like you all don¡¯t recognize each other?¡± At this moment, Li Mingxue¡¯s boyfriend, Li Gang, pointed at Chen Hao and asked with a smile. ¡°Huh? Chen Hao? Damn!¡± When Li Chao and the others heard that, they looked toward Chen Hao and realized that this was certainly Chen Hao from high school! ¡°Right, right! I forgot to tell you all that I met Chen Hao this afternoon. He¡¯s working as a waiter in Chun Hua Grand Hotel now!¡± Li Mingxue saw Chen Hao being left out and felt rather embarrassed for him, so she smiled and introduced him. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s not bad! Chen Hao, are you working behind-the-scenes or at the front line? If you have any problems, I¡¯ll help you pull some strings and make you a manager or something, alright?¡± Li Chao smiled as he nodded. ¡°He¡¯s your high school ssmate?¡± Amongst them, there was a boy Chen Hao had never met before. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. He was looking at Chen Hao as he asked teasingly. Of course, old ssmates meeting at an event like this and finding out that a ssmate had be their waiter was rather news-worthy. ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s famous for being our ss¡¯ poor idiot, haha!¡± Another boy said,ughing. The group of people started telling the boy stories about Chen Hao carelessly. ¡°Young Master Chen, so you are here!¡± Right at this moment, a voice sounded from the grand hall... Chapter 205 Prize Winners Chapter 205 Prize Winners ¡°Yes?¡± Chen Hao lifted his head and saw someone approaching him. A middle-aged man was running anxiously toward him. He could not recognize the face of the middle-aged man. It appeared that the man did know him. At that moment, Chen Hao stepped forward. ¡°Damn, why did you step forward, Chen Hao? Didn¡¯t you hear him asking for a Young Master Chen?¡± ¡°Haha, exactly. Isn¡¯t this embarrassing?¡± Several high school ssmates who were behind Li Chao burst outughing. Even Li Mingxue was smiling with her mouth covered. Liu Min was also rolling her eyes. ¡°I really can¡¯t understand Chen Hao. I¡¯m speechless!¡± Liu Minughed bitterly while shaking her head. ¡°Young Master Chen, I have driven your car here. The car is parked at the C Area of the parking lot. This is the key. The Master would like you to go home earlier today.¡± With that, the middle-aged man handed over the car keys with respect. ¡°I got it, Uncle Li. I don¡¯t need anything for now. You may go back.¡± At this moment, a guy who stood beside Li Chao walked over to him with a bitter smile while shaking his head.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Damn, turns out someone was mistaken!¡± Chen Hao was slightly embarrassed. ¡°Are you trying to be funny? Young Master Chen and Chen Hao don¡¯t sound too simr to me!¡± One of the guys taunted. ¡°Well, we should carry on drinking. Oh right, Miss Liu, when would you be avable? I would like to organize a ssmate gathering. You have to be there!¡± Li Chao started to get tired of mocking Chen Hao. Instead, he decided to talk to Liu Min. ¡°Great, no problem. After you have decided on the date, please inform all the ssmates. I will definitely be there!¡± All of them agreed to the n. Li Chao and the rest of them continued drinking without paying any regard to Chen Hao. Later, Chen Hao went upstairs together with Liu Min. ¡°You really are embarrassing, you know that? You got all excited at the mention of Young Master Chen. Damn, I even felt embarrassed for you!¡± Liu Min gave Chen Hao a piece of her mind. After that, she returned to the rest of the gang. Chen Hao was used to her attitude. Hence, he sat down on the empty seat beside Liu Min. As Liu Min was about to begin another round of reproach, they heard the host of the event giving his weing speech. Also, it seemed like he had begun his speech for a while now. Therefore, she was forced to stay quiet. It was unknown when a prize wheel had appeared on the stage. Several names were written on the wheel. One of the names was Young Master Chen. His formal name was not written there. After all, this was the weing dinner for Young Master Chen. Everyone knew who the name represented. It seemed like there would be a lucky draw. All the prizes were ced in the middle of the stage, and one of the prizes was a Mercedes-Benz G500. ¡°Liu Min, you almost missed the highlight of the event. Take a look at the wheel. Can you see whose names are written on the wheel?¡± At this moment, a girl who sat beside Liu Min grabbed Liu Min¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Wang Qiang? Damn, you participated in the lucky draw?¡± Liu Min tugged at Wang Qiang¡¯s arm excitedly. ¡°Haha, yes. A round was held to pick the qualified participants just now and I was chosen. In fact, I feel honored just by having my name appear next to Young Master Chen¡¯s. As for the G500, it doesn¡¯t matter even if I didn¡¯t get it in the end!¡± Wang Qiang stated contentedly. ¡°It matters. That car is a Mercedes-Benz G500. It cost at least two million! If we could win it, it would be such a pleasure to travel around in it!¡± Liu Min continued excitedly, ¡°Oh right, is Young Master Chen here? Which one is him? Take a look at that table. All of them look like prominent figures from the city!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen is not here yet. However, two legendary businessmen in the City of Jin Ling, Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing, are here. ording to General Manager Li, Young Master Chen will be here soon. Anyway, he will surely be here as he has already promised to!¡± Wang Qiang said enthusiastically. Chen Hao, who was sitting beside them, was checking on his phone. As expected, he had already received several calls from Li Zhenguo. Liu Min got upset once again having seen Chen Hao busy checking on his phone. She was about to criticize him again. At the same time, the host¡¯s voice red out from the speaker. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, the lucky draw will begin now. Let¡¯s spin the wheel and see who will walk away with the biggest prize tonight¡ªthe Mercedes-Benz G500!¡± In this county, the car was considered a lofty prize. Everyone could tell that the Chamber of Commerce was very sincere in organizing the event tonight. As soon as he finished speaking, the prize wheel started spinning. Ding! ¡°Congrattions, Mr. Chen Dong! You are the winner of a golden keyboard worth a hundred thousand!¡± The prize wheel continued spinning. Ding! ¡°Congrattions...¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± One by one, the prizes were given out. Three prizes had already found their winners. Ding! ¡°Congrattions to Mr. Wang Qiang, the winner of a jade bracelet worth two hundred thousand!¡± ¡°Oh my god!¡± Listening to the host¡¯s words, Liu Min got so excited that she almost fainted. The sound of pping rang out from the audience. In fact, the prize only formed one of the reasons that made Liu Min thrilled. It was so exciting for her mainly because she could finally get the chance to be onstage together with Wang Qiang. Moreover, they would be surrounded by so many prominent figures, and there were several reporters below the stage! Oh my god! She felt so honorable! She could not ask for more in her life! Liu Min, who was overjoyed, gave a p on Chen Hao just because she was too excited! ¡°Who will be the lucky one to bring back our biggest prize tonight?¡± As soon as the host¡¯s voice was heard, the entire hall became quiet. As the needle on the prize wheel moved slower and slower, everyone¡¯s eyes got bigger and bigger. Ding! Atst, the needle stopped moving. ¡°Congrattions to Young Master Chen, the winner of the Mercedes-Benz G500 worth two million, the biggest prize of tonight! A round of apuse please!¡± The host eximed excitedly. ¡°Wow! Oh my god!¡± Everyone screamed at the top of their lungs. For other prizes, the winners were really picked at random. However, the biggest prize would surely be reserved for Young Master Chen, although he might not be too excited about getting it. Everyone knew the routine of these events. ¡°Alright, all the winners, pleasee onstage! On the other hand, Young Master Chen, are you here? If you are here, please do join us onstage too!¡± The entire ce fell into silence again. Everyone¡¯s gaze was wandering, trying to locate him. ¡°Get ready Wang Qiang, we are about to be onstage together with Young Master Chen!¡± Liu Min smoothed out some creases on her dress and attempted to cover up some stains that were on it. Hastily, she stood up while holding Wang Qiang¡¯s arm. As for Chen Hao, he thought it would be bad if he went back on his words. So, he gave up trying to keep a low profile. He decided to stand up together with Liu Min and followed them to the stage. ¡°Damn, why are you following me?¡± When she was about to get on the stage, Liu Min realized that Chen Hao was standing behind her. She immediately asked in bewilderment. ¡°To get the prize!¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Damn, your name was not mentioned at all. What prize are you receiving? The winner is Young Master Chen, not Chen Hao. Are you deaf?¡± Liu Min said anxiously. ¡°Hey, Wang Qiang, you have no idea about this. I bumped into some of my students at the lobby just now. The butler from one of the students¡¯ family was here and the butler called out Young Master Chen. At that moment, Chen Hao foolishly walked over to the butler. It was so embarrassing!¡± ¡°Now, he is thinking of going onstage to receive the prize! If he ends up being aughing stock, we would be humiliated when the others know that he is my student!¡± Liu Min was worried about this. ¡°Young Master Chen, please join us onstage!¡± At that time, Li Zhenguo, who was invited to be the presenter, got onstage too. He looked at Chen Hao with utmost respect and uttered these words. ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. Without offering any exnation, he made his way to the center of the stage. Zhao Zixing and the other outstanding figures of Jin Ling Commercial Group, who were sitting at the VIP seats below the stage, got to their feet and cried out respectfully, ¡°Congrattions, Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°Thank you very much,dies and gentlemen!¡± Chen Hao put on a slight smile on his face. ¡°Damn, so he is the renowned Young Master Chen!¡± At this moment, the entire ce plunged into a deadly silence. Chapter 206 Visiting His Father’s Old Friend Chapter 206 Visiting His Father¡¯s Old Friend Liu Min, who was still reproaching Chen Hao a short while ago, was especially shocked. She was so shaken that her eyes were on the verge of popping out. Damn! She knew Chen Hao¡¯s family background clearly. He was just a poor loser with no money. What about Young Master Chen? He was the man of the hour in Jin Ling City. He was about to transform Ping An County into a whole new ce. Anyhow, Liu Min failed to see the connection between the two. However, Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing definitely knew Young Master Chen personally. Surely there was no mistake about the identity of Chen Hao. Damn, Liu Min¡¯s mind was in a turmoil. ¡°General Manager Li, are you guys mistaken? Why are you guys addressing this poor dude as Young Master Chen?¡± Liu Min could not help but ask. Li Zhenguo frowned slightly. He took a nce at the stain on Liu Min¡¯s dress before addressing the organizing staff with annoyance, ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why is this woman allowed to be onstage? Did you not see that her dress was dirty? What¡¯s more, she is being so rude to Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°We¡¯re so sorry, General Manager Li and Young Master Chen. It¡¯s our mistake!¡± The staff immediately nodded their heads to express their apologies. The staff pointed at Liu Min and Wang Qiang, then ordered, ¡°You and you! Get out of here!¡± ¡°Huh? Why? He is an impersonator. He is just a poor student. You guys have mistaken him for Young Master Chen. I am his teacher. Damn, Chen Hao, please say something. Please rify to them that you are just a poor guy and they have mistaken you for the wrong guy!¡± A few guys were already there to shove Liu Min and Wang Qiang off the stage. Nheless, Liu Min cried out reluctantly. Firstly, they had to suffer the public humiliation of being ordered to get off the stage. The other thing was, how could Chen Hao be Young Master Chen? Liu Min felt like dying if that was the truth! Therefore, the only thing she wanted was for Chen Hao to offer some rification. Afterall, Chen Hao was just a loser. He even stepped forward when someone was calling for Young Master Chen just now at the lobby. At that moment, Li Zhenguo averted his gaze toward Chen Hao. His gaze was inquisitive, trying to gauge Chen Hao¡¯s decision. Afterall, if that woman knew Young Master Chen personally, Li Zhenguo could not be too rude to her. Unexpectedly, Chen Hao replied, ¡°We are just acquaintances. She used to be my teacher.¡± Chen Hao revealed a slight smile and said, ¡°However, if you really want me to say it aloud, I will say it. Yes, I am just a poor guy. I am just a student with no money. They have mistaken me for the wrong guy!¡± ¡°Ha! General Manager Li, did you hear that? Hahaha, he admitted it. He just admitted it!¡± Liu Min eximed. She wondered whether Li Zhenguo was impressed by her actions. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. However, Li Zhenguo cast Liu Min a smirk before saying, ¡°Someone please get these two people out of here!¡± Several guards were already standing by. In the blink of an eye, they got hold of Liu Min and Wang Qiang, who was in a daze, and shoved them off the stage. Only then did the hall return to a much peaceful state. Chen Hao really could not stand Liu Min any longer. Ever since Liu Min treated him that way at the petrol station, their rtionship had turned sour. Back then, Chen Hao decided to be tolerant with her, just like how he was tolerant with Zhao Yifan for taunting him. It was for the sake of Ma Xiaonan and the girls. Therefore, he let it go. However, Liu Min was a different case. He had no need to endure her attitude any longer. Hence, Chen Hao decided to be decisive. Anyhow, Chen Hao was the winner of a Mercedes-Benz G500 from the lucky draw event. At the beginning, the organizer thought that Chen Hao would think that the prize was too shabby. After all, the prize was sponsored. Yet, Chen Hao had noments about the prize. For him, the car was already quite decent. Also, he had already returned to this small county. It was unrealistic for him to travel around the county with his Lamborghini. Initially, he had thought of borrowing a car from Li Zhenguo. Now, the G500 woulde in handy. After that, the guests started to drink and chat among themselves. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Uncle Wu had also been discharged from the hospital. Chen Hao had quite an empty schedule for today. Therefore, he nned to check on the business ns over at Li Zhenguo¡¯s. He had also received several calls from his sister. In the midst of their conversation, Chen Hao suddenly remembered that his father had asked him to do something. His father had asked him to visit his previousrade in arms in Ping An County. He had been here for one whole week but he had totally forgotten about this. Chen Hao had nothing else to do today. So, after getting some gifts, he made his way to a high-end residential area of Ping An county where Jiang Weidong, also known as Uncle Jiang, stayed. As previously mentioned, the two families were driven apart due to several incidents that had happened between them. However, his father was a person who treasured his old friendships. His father was not convinced. Despite the selfish nature of humans, it was hard to forget a rtionship Six years ago, Chen Hao¡¯s father had brought him along to Uncle Jiang¡¯s ce to ask for his help to get into high school. At that time, Uncle Jiang treated them with indifference. Chen Hao knew how his father felt about this. This time, the only difference was that he was here alone, and he hade with a brand new identity! He wondered whether he would be treated in the same way as before. Hehe... As he was deep in thought, Chen Hao had arrived at the right location ording to memory. He knocked on the door. ¡°Who is it?¡± A middle-ageddy opened the door. Of course, Chen Hao recognised thedy. Her name was Tang Lan. He used to address her as Aunt Tang, and she was Jiang Weidong¡¯s wife. ording to what he heard, she was a director at a bank. She was great at what she did. ¡°Hi, Aunt Tang. Do you still recognize me? My name is Chen Hao. I used to frequent your ce with my father!¡± Chen Hao greeted her with a smile. ¡°Oh! I remember you. You are the son of one of Jiang¡¯srades in arms, Chen Jindong. It has been a while. You have grown up a lot! Pleasee in!¡± She took a look at the stuff in Chen Hao¡¯s hand. Tang Lan offered the pleasantries nonchntly. She had gotten very used to these visitors. Judging from Chen Hao¡¯s look, she knew that he was here to ask for help. Deep down inside, she had alreadye up with an excuse to turn him down. However, she could not be too rude to him. He walked into the living room and saw a middle-aged man reading papers on the sofa with his legs crossed. He acted as though he was the president of apany. Naturally, that person was the Uncle Jiang whom Chen Hao had mentioned. He had heard that Jiang Wei Dong was the current director of the Development Bureau. They were a typical family full of government officials. ¡°Hi, Uncle Jiang!¡± For some unknown reasons, Chen Hao was still very uptight around them even though so many years had passed. ¡°Hi. Oh, you¡¯re Little Chen. It¡¯s been a long while. Oh right, I heard that your father was trying to make money abroad to pay for his debt?¡± Jiang Weidong tossed the papers aside and asked. ¡°Yes, he¡¯s earning money overseas!¡± Chen Hao said with augh. ¡°You just graduated from university this year, right? What do you major in?¡± Jiang Weidong inquired nonchntly. He lifted the cup and blew on the tea leaves that were floating on the surface. ¡°I am from the Literature Department. I major in Chinese Language and Editing.¡± ¡°Ahem. Although the subjects you do are quite unpopr, it would be easy for you to seek a job. By the way, have you found a job?¡± Jiang Weidong asked. ¡°Not yet, Uncle Jiang! I am here today just to visit you. Besides, my father has instructed me...¡± ¡°Jiang, you have a meetingter right?¡± At this moment, Tang Lan, who was standing at the side, suddenly interrupted their conversation. ¡°Oh yes, there¡¯s a meeting I need to attendter. It¡¯s quite urgent. If it wasn¡¯t for this, I would have made Chen Hao stay for lunch!¡± Jiang Weidong smiled lightly. Chen Hao was not too dumb himself. He could sense in their tone that they thought he was here to ask for a job. Therefore, they were trying toe up with an excuse so that he would leave. s, it appeared that little to no friendship was left between the two families. He would tell his father about everything that happened on this trip. He guessed his father would give up any hope of reviving the friendship from now on. Before waiting for them to finish, Chen Hao had already stood up and was about to leave. Right at this moment, a girl walked out from her room on the second floor of the duplex building, wearing earphones. The girl was quite pretty. ¡°Mom, my friends areing to have lunchter. Is the food ready? Do you need help?¡± the girl said with a smile. When she caught sight of Chen Hao, she stared at him and asked, ¡°Mom, who is he?¡± Chapter 207 Jiang Ranran’s Classmates Chapter 207 Jiang Ranran¡¯s ssmates The girl was staring at Chen Hao curiously. In fact, at the sight of his shabby attire and his country bumpkin look, she already started to look down upon him deep down inside. Both Jiang Weidong and Tang Lan looked extremely awkward after listening to what the girl said. Especially Tang Lan. Just now, she had reminded Jiang Weidong about the urgent meeting he was about to haveter. With that excuse, they did not invite Chen Hao to stay for lunch. In the end, their daughter suddenly spoke up. They were very embarrassed by what she said. Daughter, why didn¡¯t youe out of your roomter? If you did, Chen Hao would have been gone by then! ¡°Oh, Ranran, you¡¯ve forgotten about him. He is the son of Uncle Chen. You two have met each other before when you were little,¡± Tang Lan said awkwardly. ¡°I remember him. I think his name is Chen Hao...¡± she said. ¡°My name is indeed Chen Hao. I am surprised that you could still remember me, Ranran! It has been years since we met each other. You have turned into such a pretty girl!¡± The girl¡¯s name was Jiang Ranran. Chen Hao knew her. Back then, when Chen Hao visited their house, Jiang Ranran would always point at him and make possible. He made our floor dirty!¡± Probably because of his ego, Chen Hao was afraid of her mockery since he was little. However, he had gotten used to it already. He was able to talk to her nicely now. ¡°Thank you, Chen Hao. You have grown into a handsome man too! Please be nice to me in the future!¡± With poise, Jiang Ranran extended her hand to shake Chen Hao¡¯s hand. Even though Jiang Ranran said it purely out of courtesy, it was the most pleasant thing Chen Hao had heard ever since he stepped into their house. He smiled and said, ¡°Sure, no problem. You can reach me anytime if you have any problems!¡± Jiang Ranran took back her hand with a smile. However, she was thinking, Hmph, reaching you anytime for any problem? Who do you think you are? I think you got too carried away! I was just being polite. Indeed, Jiang Ranran was born into a family full of government officials. Excluding her father¡¯s connection, she had vast connections herself. After she graduated from university, she would definitelynd a job in one of the government institutions. She needed no help from others in the future! Not to mention needing help from Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, why don¡¯t you stay for lunch? Ranran¡¯s friends areing and you may join them. I was too busy just now to the point that I had forgotten about this. I need to get lunch ready now!¡± Tang Lan said awkwardly. In fact, she wanted Chen Hao to leave just now. However, their daughter had exposed their lies. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Therefore, she didn¡¯t look too happy now. It would be too rude of her to not ask him to stay. ¡°Exactly. Please do stay. It¡¯s always useful to know more people!¡± Jiang Weidongmented nonchntly. Jiang Ranran began to look upset. She had nned to only have lunch with her ssmates. Now, their lunch was suddenly crashed by a country bumpkin. It was very awkward for her. However, since her parents had already invited him, she had no choice but to ept it. Her attitude toward Chen Hao turned much colder after that. A short whileter, Jiang Ranran¡¯s ssmates arrived. The gang was made up of seven to eight people, and there was a mixture of boys and girls. After the teenagers chatted among themselves for a while, lunch was ready. Meanwhile, Jiang Weidong weed the gang into the dining hall enthusiastically. ¡°Lin Dong,e here. Do sit beside me. We must drink to our satisfaction today!¡± Holding Lin Dong¡¯s hand affectionately, Jiang Weidong urged him to take the seat beside him. Lin Dong was quite good-looking. ording to their conversation, Chen Hao got to know that his father was some high-ranking director at one of the government institutions. His father was quite capable. Moreover, it appeared that Lin Dong was interested in Jiang Ranran. Jiang Weidong would love to see Lin Dong and his daughter getting into a rtionship. Hence, he treated Lin Dong very nicely. ¡°It is our family¡¯s honor that Ranran is one of your good friends! Lin Dong, not only are you good- looking, you are also very capable and smart. I wonder who would be your girlfriend in the future. I am sure that our Ranran would never make the cut. Just take a look at her. She is just like a child. She is far too inferior to you!¡± Jiang Weidong stated with augh. ¡°Uncle Jiang, you are kidding me. Ranran is very beautiful. Anyone who could have her as a girlfriend would be blessed. Moreover, Ranran has mentioned before that you have arranged for her to be married to yourrade¡¯s son back when you were still in the army,¡± Lin Dong said with a forced smile. ¡°That arrangement no longer stands. It has been cancelled for quite some time already!¡± At this moment, Tang Lan walked over with a dish smilingly. She said to Lin Dong, ¡°Chen Hao is the one whom Ranran¡¯s father had arranged for her to marry. He made that promise in a drunken state back then. Just take a look at Chen Hao. He is so good-looking and smart. He is simply too good for our Ranran. Is that so, Chen Hao?¡± Tang Lan threw the question at Chen Hao, who was sitting at the far corner of the table. ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Chen Hao could discern the underlying meaning of her words. Also, he would not want the conversation to be focused upon himself. Hence, he hastily nodded his head in agreement. However, Lin Dong started to be wary of Chen Hao¡¯s presence because of what was said. In fact, he had fallen in love with Jiang Ranran for quite some time now. He had yet to confess his feelings to her although the two were very close to each other. ording to Tang Lan, the guy whom Jiang Ranran was supposed to marry was here. The scene became dramatic. Everyone focused their gaze on Lin Dong and Chen Hao. They were makingparisons between the two. Lin Dong immediately stood up with a smile and said, ¡°Wow! If it wasn¡¯t for Aunt Tang Lan¡¯s introduction, we wouldn¡¯t have known that you were just one step away from bing Ranran¡¯s husband! Come on, we should get to know each other better. Chen Hao, my name is Lin Dong. I am now working at the Governmental Department, hehe...¡± Feigning surprise, Lin Dong stood up and shook Chen Hao¡¯s hand. While they were shaking hands, he deliberately shook the shiny golden watch on his wrist as well. Humbly, he continued, ¡°The post was arranged by my family. I count on my parents, since I am quite mediocre myself!¡± ¡°Haha, Lin Dong, you don¡¯t have to be too humble. If you were considered mediocre, I wonder who could be considered outstanding. Take Chen Hao as an example. He would never be capable enough to take up your post. Let¡¯s skip the pleasantries. Come on, let¡¯s drink.¡± With a heartyugh, Jiang Weidong patted Lin Dong¡¯s shoulder. After that, they started to talk about the happenings in the Governmental Department. Everyone enjoyed listening to their conversation. As for Jiang Ranran, she stared at Lin Dong with one of her hands supporting her chin, looking satisfied. Judging from her look, she was proud of him. Jiang Ranran had quite a high standard for men. She was not interested in mediocre guys. Chen Hao was sitting at the position where he felt obligated to stand up and fill up everyone¡¯s sses with drinks. ¡°Thanks, Chen Hao!¡± At this moment, a beautiful girl who was sitting beside Chen Hao shot him a smile. ¡°No worries!¡± Chen Hao replied. ¡°You don¡¯t have to fill up everyone¡¯s drink. Let them fill up themselves. Hehe, do you seldom have meals with others?¡± The girl asked Chen Hao inquisitively. This girl had a nice temperament. All in all, she didn¡¯t lose to Jiang Ranran a single bit in terms of her appearance and her temperament. As she didn¡¯t take alcohol, the other girls and her took the seat further away from the center of the table. From their conversation, Chen Hao got to know the girl¡¯s name. Her name was Xu Xing. ¡°Yup, I seldom have meals with others!¡± Indeed, it was rare for Chen Hao to attend this kind of asion. It was because this situation was different. Jiang Weidong, an elderly, was present. At this moment, Tang Lan started to serve another dish to the guests. She was about to ce it near Lin Dong. However, Lin Dong was not aware of that. He raised his hand and identally hit Tang Lan. As a result, the te was overthrown! ¡°Ah!¡± Tang Lan let out a shriek. Immediately, Lin Dong got to his feet to offer his apology. ¡°It¡¯s fine, don¡¯t worry. I was worried that you might get scalded. I will clean up the mess. You guys please carry on. I will make another dish!¡± Tang Lan said with a smile. Hastily, she cleaned up the mess on the floor. At that time, Chen Hao noticed that some of their sses were empty. Hence, he stood up to fill them up. However, when Chen Hao was pouring drinks into Lin Dong¡¯s ss, Lin Dong¡¯s hand got shaky. The ss fell onto the table and broke. It was unknown whether he did it deliberately or it was purely idental. ¡°Damn!¡± Lin Dong was taken aback. At the same time, Tang Lan caught sight of this while she wasing out of the kitchen. ¡°Do you even know how to pour drinks? What did you do? Why did you break the ss?¡± Tang Lan pointed at Chen Hao and cursed furiously. As for Jiang Weidong, he cast an icy look at Chen Hao. He was disgusted by how embarrassing Chen Hao was. Chapter 208 It’s All Because Of Pride Chapter 208 It¡¯s All Because Of Pride Just because of the mishap, Chen Hao got a piece of Tang Lan¡¯s mind. As a result, Chen Hao felt quite embarrassed. Damn, the ss was broken obviously because Lin Dong did not hold it properly, so why was I scolded? However, Chen Hao could understand. Hehe. Apparently, it was because Lin Dong was rich and influential, while he was just a nobody! ¡°This is not Chen Hao¡¯s fault. I didn¡¯t hold the ss properly. By the way, Chen Hao, you don¡¯t have a job right now, do you?¡± Lin Dong asked Chen Hao with a smile. Chen Hao shook his head and answered, ¡°Nope.¡± ¡°That¡¯s bad. You could have gotten one through your connections. Why didn¡¯t you do it?¡± Lin Dong put on a bewildered look. ¡°Nowadays, it¡¯s getting harder to seek help from others. You have to be really close to the person that you are trying to ask for help. Take Ranran¡¯s job as an example. Inded that job for her after making great efforts. s, life is hard!¡± Jiang Weidong stated cidly. By saying this, he had directly ruled out any possibility of helping Chen Hao. ¡°It¡¯s okay!¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Oh, this will not do. Let me help you. Jiayun, I heard that your father¡¯s factory is looking for young security guards, right? In my opinion, Chen Hao is a good candidate. He looks like an honest man. I am sure he will do a great job!¡± Lin Dong made the suggestion while pointing at one of the guys. ¡°Tehee!¡± As soon as Lin Dong said that, all the guests broke out intoughter. Jiang Ranran shot an annoyed look at Lin Dong before saying, ¡°Chen Hao studies at Jin Ling College. How could he work as a security guard?¡± ¡°Exactly. He would be aughing stock!¡± ¡°No woman would be interested in him!¡± The girlsmented whileughing. Xu Xin was the only one who kept quiet. ¡°Hmph, we too impose a high standard for the security guards working at our factory. We only hire people who are capable. We don¡¯t need people with no talent!¡± Listening to the girls¡¯ments, the guy named Jiayun immediately retorted. He thought they meant that Chen Hao¡¯s talent would be wasted if he worked at the factory, and they wereughing at his family¡¯s business. ¡°That¡¯s right. Please don¡¯t assume the factory of Jiayun¡¯s family would hire anyone just because they stayed near the factory. Furthermore, it doesn¡¯t matter anymore whether you have a degree or not, because being a degree holder no longer gives you an advantage. We should respect all types of profession. What¡¯s wrong with being a security guard?¡± ¡°Being a security guard is a serious job too!¡± Lin Dong said solemnly. ¡°Well said, Lin Dong! I am impressed by your maturity despite your tender age. Don¡¯t you guysugh at him. What Lin Dong said just now makes a lot of sense. You guys should learn from him!¡± Jiang Weidong added seriously. Suppressingughter, the guests all nodded their heads in agreement. Chen Hao was not having a good time. Despite being humiliated, he could not bring himself to vent his negative emotions out. He tried to convince himself to let the matter go, since he had already made the trip ording to his father¡¯s wishes. Although they looked down upon him, his father cherished friendships a lot. Therefore, Chen Hao could not afford to rebut them! So he decided to bury his head in his meal with a forced smile. After the meal, Jiang Weidong said, ¡°By the way, you guys mentioned that you will be going to the karaoketer. Don¡¯t spend too much time there. Go back home earlier, so that your parents would not be worried.¡± ¡°I got it, Daddy!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Jiang. I will take good care of them!¡± Lin Dong assured with a smile. ¡°Okay, I feel much more at ease having you with them!¡± Jiang Weidong nodded his head with a smile. At the moment, Lin Dong shifted his gaze toward Chen Hao and asked, ¡°Chen Hao, we are having a karaoke sessionter. Are you avable to join us?¡± ¡°I am going to pass. You guys enjoy yourselves!¡± Of course Chen Hao would not join them. Although Jiang Ranran was very beautiful, Chen Hao felt that he was not part of their social circle. ¡°Don¡¯t put a damper on the asion. We should have some fun after having a meal together. Chen Hao, do you think we are not good enough to be your friends?¡± Lin Dong asked. There was a tinge of irritation on his face. He invited Chen Hao along hoping that he could entertain them. Some people behaved this way. Just because they were capable and smart, they needed to make fun of someone less capable. As soon as Jiang Weidong caught sight of Lin Dong¡¯s unhappiness, he immediately spoke up, ¡°Chen Hao, just join them since you were invited. How could you be so senseless? Think about the difference in status between Lin Dong and you! Now that he has already invited you, you should go.¡± ¡°If you say so.¡± Chen Hao started to feel embarrassed. He felt especially so because Xu Xin, who sat beside him, was staring at him with her unblinking eyes. She would love to have hime along. Moreover, Jiang Dongwei had spoken up. He decided to just have fun without paying any regards to them. Hmph! After a short while, the gang went downstairs. Lin Dong and Wang Jiayun drove here. Both of them would drive everyone to the karaoke ce. Chen Hao was thest one to get into the cars. In the end, both cars were full. ¡°Damn, both of our cars are full. You can¡¯t be squeezing with the girls, right? It¡¯s quite inconvenient,¡± Lin Dong rolled down the window and said with a smile. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. It appeared to Chen Hao that ever since Lin Dong got to know about the marital arrangement between Jiang Ranran and him, he started to make great effort at mocking him. He deliberately humiliated him. Chen Hao knew that the reason Lin Dong invited him to the karaoke session was because he wanted to have more opportunity to make fun of him. ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with sitting with the girls. I will make space. Chen Hao, you can sit beside me!¡± Xu Xin waved her hands at Chen Hao. Lin Dong was slightly annoyed by Xu Xin. However, he could not be too rude to such a beautiful girl. ¡°Thank you!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head with a grin. After that, he took the seat beside Xu Xin. After a brief journey, the gang arrived at a private room of a karaoke center. Lin Dong had summoned another gang of his friends out of nowhere. The gang consisted of both boys and girls. Soon, the ambience inside the private room became boisterous. The ambience was very joyful and exuberant as some of them were drinking while some were singing. ¡°Jiayun is a regr customer of this karaoke. He is very close to a female manager here, so feel free to order anything, everyone. Jiayun and I will foot the bill!¡± Lin Dongughed out loud. ¡°Thanks, Lin Dong!¡± ¡°I love you, Lin Dong. Muacks!¡± ¡°Lin Dong belongs to Ranran. Why did I mention things of this sort?!¡± one of the girls patted her own head and said. Everyone broke intoughter because of what she said. Wang Jiayun wasughing happily too. After all, he got all the attention he wanted today. Jiang Ranran lowered her head to hide her blushed face. To be honest, she loved Lin Dong¡¯s personality a lot. Compared to Chen Hao who was keeping to himself at the corner, the difference between the two was stark. She shook her head in resignation at Chen Hao. At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. A girl in a red shirt glided into the room. She had an alluring and feminine air. She was extremely sexy and beautiful. One look at her and you knew that she was a social butterfly. Holding a bottle of wine in her hand, she said with a smile, ¡°Young Master Wang and Young Master Lin, this bottle of wine is on the house as a weing gift to you guys. Please have fun today!¡± The girl in red continued with a smile, ¡°I will give a 10% discount on your bill because Young Master Wang is our regr customer. Enjoy yourselves!¡± ¡°What? Just 10%? Jiayun, aren¡¯t you very close to her? Why is the discount only 10%?¡± A few guys joked. Wang Jiayun¡¯s face darkened. He felt as if he was humiliated. ¡°No way, we need at least a 20% discount!¡± Wang Jiayun demanded with an irritated face. ¡°We can¡¯t do that, Young Master Wang. We need to keep the business running,¡± said the woman in red, who was chuckling with her mouth covered. ¡°Ahem. It¡¯s fine then. How about you keep uspany and drink with us, Madam Hong?¡± Later on, the guys persuaded her to stay after seeing how sexy and beautiful she was. ¡°So sorry, I have some VIP customers to attend to. I really can¡¯t stay.¡± With that, Madam Hong waved at them and left. Awkwardness hung in the air. The guys turned to look at Wang Jiayun. ¡°Jiayun, what¡¯s happening? Madam Hong paid no regards to you at all!¡± ¡°Damn, are you sure you two are close? She only gave us a 10% discount! I thought you two were close. In the end, she ignored you!¡± After Madam Hong left, the guys scoffed and taunted. This ced Wang Jiayun in a difficult position. He got very uneasy. Indeed, Madam Hong paid no respect to him at all. During his previous trips here, Madam Hong had treated him with utmost respect. Because of this, Wang Jiayun got the wrong idea that he was close to her. He did not see thising. When he boasted to his friends about his connections, it did not work as he expected. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s okay if you guys don¡¯t believe me. I will get her to keep you guyspany. Just wait and see.¡± With that, Wang Jiayun angrily opened the door and stomped out of the room. From his looks, he was going to look for Madam Hong. Chen Hao, who was sitting at the corner, shook his head with a bitter smile. He wondered whether pride mattered that much in life. He could not understand the need to get so agitated over a small matter like this. Also, it was obvious to Chen Hao that Madam Hong was the type of person who treated everyone with respect. It was normal for someone to do this in the world ofmerce. However, one should know how the real world worked. ¡°Ahhhhh!¡± After a short while, a scream was heard. One of the girls who was on her way back from the toilet pushed open the door and eximed anxiously, ¡°Lin Dong, everyone,e quick. Wang Jiayun is beaten up by someone!¡± Chapter 209 Let Them Go on My Account Chapter 209 Let Them Go on My ount ¡°What? He had been beaten?¡± ¡°What the f*ck?! Did he get himself into trouble this time?!¡± Everyone in the room became nervous in that instant. Even Lin Dong was anxious as well. However, he did not panic, instead he calmly said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic everyone. Come, follow me. I want to see who had dared to beat up my friend!¡± At that moment, he waved his hand, and everybody followed him out. A few guys even picked up some beer bottles. It seemed that they were going to pick a fight. On the other hand, although Chen Hao felt that Wang Jiayun was easily provoked, he did not expect him to get beaten up. Now that everybody had decided to go over there to take a look, it wouldn¡¯t be appropriate if he were to sit here and drink by himself. So, Chen Hao decided to follow behind everybody as well. Meanwhile, Wang Yun was surrounded by a group of people in the KTV lounge. Hey curled up on the floor as fresh blood poured out from his head after a dozen KTV bodyguards had just finished beating him up. Madam Hong crossed her arms and looked at Wang Jiayun with a cold smile on her face. ¡°You punk, how dare you disrespect me, and you even dare to pull my hair?! I guess you don¡¯t n to live anymore. Do you know whose territory is this? Trust me, Da Fei will hack you to death!¡± Madam Hong cursed out loud. When the onlookers heard Da Fei¡¯s name, their faces turned deathly pale as they looked at Wang Jiayun who was lying on the ground, with sympathy. Just now, Wang Jiayun suddenly shouted at Madam Hong who had already entered a private room. He continued to angrily pester her as he wanted her to drink a toast to him. Of course, she ignored him. In fact, there weren¡¯t many people in this KTV who could get Madam Hong to drink a toast to them. However, Wang Jiayun was reluctant to leave it like that. In that moment of impatience, he actually yanked Madam Hong¡¯s hair, indicating to her that she had to drink a toast to him today or else he won¡¯t leave. In the end, he ended up like that. When the people in that private room saw a stranger entering their room, and was yanking Madam Hong¡¯s hair, they waved their hands. Immediately, seven to eight buff guys rushed in. They knocked Wang Jiayun down to the ground with their batons to teach him a lesson. One of the girls who happened to go to the toilet at this moment witnessed the scene. So, she hurried back to report it. ¡°Madam Hong, leave this punk to my subordinates. My customers at that table are still waiting for you to apany them.¡± At this moment, a frivolous looking guy stood at Madam Hong¡¯s side. Although he looked like a ruffian, he seemed to be a rich and imposing person. ¡°Ok, I understand, Young Master Liu. However, can I vent my anger first? Look, he even yanked my hair just now,¡± said Madam Hong with a smile. ¡°Haha! That is fine with me. In that case, bring him into my private room. Since he tried to cause you some troubles at the entrance of my private room, then that is considered a sign of disrespect toward me. Damn it, I shall vent my anger properly today! Let¡¯s see how tough this brat is!¡± Liu Li lifted his hand and the bodyguards received the order. They lifted Wang Jiayun up and walked toward the private room. However, the moment they had just entered the private room¡­ ¡°Stop there! Release my friend if you know what is good for you!¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. At this moment, a loud yell could be heard. Lin Dong was seen with one hand in his pockets. He had brought along arge group of people, and they all had a menacing aura around them. All in all, they really looked formidable. ¡°Hah! This looks interesting. There is somebody here who wants to seek revenge. Let me take a look and see who is so powerful?¡± Liu Li looked indifferent as he walked into the room in a carefree manner. He even ordered his bodyguards to open the door wide so that they could enter. Lin Dong thought that he was scared of them. Hence, they got bolder and rushed into the room like a swarm of bees. However, when they saw the people in that room, not only Lin Dong, but also the people who were holding the wine bottles behind him were frightened out of their wits. ¡°Is that you, Young Master Liu? Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tiger and Mr. Four, y-you guys are here?¡± Lin Dong¡¯s eyes widened as his arrogance fizzled out in an instant. On the other hand, the girls who came with him originally thought that they could bask in his glory. However, when they saw him withering before Liu Li, they felt embarrassed. Especially Jiang Ranran who was standing beside Lin Dong. ¡°Li, who is this fellow? Is he your friend?¡± a big man with a dragon-patterned tattoo asked casually. ¡°I don¡¯t know them, but surprisingly, they know me!¡± said Liu Li with a smile. ¡°Lin Dong, who is that?¡± Jiang Ranran quietly tugged at Lin Dong¡¯s arms and asked. ¡°His name is Liu Li. The mines in Ping An County belongs to his family, thus making his family the wealthiest people in that county. They are considered one of the top wealthiest families in Jin Ling. His father is the leader of the underground forces in Ping An County, and Da Fei worked for his father. He is absolutely ruthless!¡± ¡°The people beside him are famous gangsters as well.¡± Naturally, Lin Dong knew many people. And so, he quickly exined it to them. After hearing his exnations, Jiang Ranran and the rest of the girls grew even more afraid. They heard of Liu Li¡¯s name before as well as his circle of influence. After hearing Da Fei¡¯s name as well, they started to panic. ¡°By the way, buddy, why did you bring along a group of people? They even brought along some beer bottles. Do you n on scaring me to death?¡± Liu Li crossed one leg over the other as he gave them a smirk. ¡°Ahem! Young Master Liu, this is a misunderstanding. A total misunderstanding. We had too much to drink today and my friend here has offended you. I hope that you can be the bigger person here and spare him. My name is Lin Dong and my father¡¯s name is Lin Gan. Please spare him on my ount. Mr. Tiger and Mr. Four, my father brought me along for a drink with you guysst time,¡± Lin Dong quickly introduced himself. ¡°Oh yeah, I know him. However, Lin Dong, nobody has ever dared to hold a beer bottle like that and prevent me from leaving a private room in my entire life. How do you think I should settle this?¡± asked Liu Li while smiling. He couldn¡¯t help but sweep his gaze across the faces of Jiang Ranran and the other girls who were standing beside Lin Dong. He thought to himself, These girls are indeed fine specimens. ¡°I think I owe you an apology, Young Master Liu. Why don¡¯t I chug down this bottle of beer to show my apologies to you?¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master Liu, we will each chug down a bottle of beer,¡± said the guys one after another. ¡°Fine, since you want to do it this way, then each of you should chug down your own bottle of alcohol. I want everybody to drink it, alright? Then, I will let bygones be bygones.¡± Liu Li looked toward the frightened girls and said, ¡°However, I have one condition. There is no way I am allowing you to drink beer. Let¡¯s change it to a bottle of liquor instead. Everybody must chug down a bottle of liquor each and that includes the girls who came in with you. After each of you have downed your own bottle of liquor, then we are done here.¡± ¡°Huh? Liquor?¡¯ Lin Dong was dumbfounded. ¡°Why? You don''t want to do it?¡± Liu Li¡¯s expression tightened. Following that, a bodyguard came in carrying a box of liquor. Lin Dong gritted his teeth and decided to set an example. He pinched his nose and chugged down the entire bottle of wine as if it was a bottle of in water. The rest of the guys followed suit. Not long after that, all of them had finished their liquor. p! p! p! Liu Li apuded them for their efforts, and shifted his gaze toward Jiang Ranran and the other girls. ¡°Girls, you all should drink up as well. If you don''t drink, then you can¡¯t leave here today!¡± ¡°As for all of you, you guys can get lost!¡± said Liu Li as he pointed at Lin Dong. ¡°Young Master Liu, she is my girlfriend. Can you let me take her away? Please let her go on my ount!¡± Even an idiot would know what Liu Li had intended to do. Hence, Lin Dong begged him while holding his aching belly. ¡°No way. You don¡¯t have any grounds here to beg me! If you do not get lost now, you won''t be able to escapeter!¡± The moment he uttered those words, many of the guys fled in fright. On the other hand, Lin Dong gritted his teeth as he did not know what to say anymore. After all, Liu Li was indeed a ruthless guy. He could only lower his head and walked outside. As for Jiang Ranran and Xu Xin, they were naturally withheld by the bodyguards. Just when Jiang Ranran nearly cried out of fright¡­ ¡°Young Master Liu, please spare them on my ount¡­¡± Chapter 210 Worried About Chen Hao’s Safety Chapter 210 Worried About Chen Hao¡¯s Safety ¡°Huh?¡± Suddenly, a deathly silence hung in the air. Everybody looked toward the young man who spoke those words. Spare them on your ount? Why do I need to do that? Who do you think you are? Of course, the person who uttered those words was none other than Chen Hao. Originally, Chen Hao had been outside the private room all these while. When he saw Lin Dong suffering from embarrassment, he only sat back and enjoyed the show. After all, this had nothing to do with him. However, Liu Li had obviously set his sights on Jiang Ranran, Xu Xin and the other girls. The reason he stepped in had less to do with Jiang Ranran. Although Jiang Ranran was quite courteous to him on the outside, Chen Hao knew that she really looked down upon him on the inside. So, he did not have any reasons to toot his own horn in front of her. However, since Xu Xin was here, Chen Hao felt embarrassed to leave the matter as it was. After all, Xu Xin treated him well from the beginning, and she did not look at him through colored lenses. Perhaps Xu Xin felt that it wasn¡¯t a big deal, but Chen Hao still felt grateful toward her. Especially if he were topare her with Jian Ranran. Hence, he stepped forward as he had decided to help Xu Xin out. ¡°Chen Hao, what nonsense are you talking about? Get lost quickly. You don¡¯t understand the situation here,¡± said Jiang Ranran with a cold look on her face. She nearly fainted because of his idiocy. Jiang Ranran was raised in the city, and was therefore quite experienced and knowledgeable, enough to have understood the situation now like the back of her hand. Jiang Ranran had already decided that she would follow what Lin Dong did and chug the liquor down in one shot. Then, she would run away quickly. She thought to herself, Liu Li would not be that unruly, right? However, she did not expect Chen Hao to step up and pretend to be a hero. She really couldn¡¯t believe the absurdity of it. She even wanted to give him a p or two. ¡°Why should I spare them on your ount? Who are you to say that?¡± Liu Li frowned as the rest of the gang leaders sized Chen Hao up. Chen Hao put both of his hands in his pockets and smiled casually. ¡°This girl is my friend. So, I will bear the responsibility for her. Young Master Liu, if you really want to have a drinking session, why don¡¯t you wait for me to give my men a call. I will ask them to apany you.¡± Liu Li was just a wretched person. Of course, he was nothing in Chen Hao¡¯s eyes. At that moment, he looked at Xu Xin and smiled. ¡°You stupid brat, there is a price to pay for being a hero. Moreover, from the tone of your voice, it seems that you are finding someone to challenge me to a fight. Hahaha, why don¡¯t you take a look at your appearance, you loser. How dare you challenge me to a fight?!¡± Liu Li looked at Chen Hao up and down and smirked. ¡°Chen Hao, leave it. Please leave quickly,¡± said Xu Xin worriedly. Chen Hao turned around and gave her a reassuring look, then he smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything will be alright.¡± With that, he looked at Liu Li. ¡°So, Young Master Liu, do you dare to ept my challenge? My men will arrive soon and apany you all for a ¡®drinking session¡¯. What do you say?¡± ¡°Fine, this is the first time anyone has dared to challenge me to a fight in front of so many gang leaders in Ping An County! I guess we really need to experience it for ourselves today. However, let me tell you the bad news first. I will not go easy on you as you should know very well the consequences of offending me!¡± Liu Li smiled coldly, as if he was enjoying a joke. Meanwhile, Chen Hao asked Xu Xin, Jiang Ranran and the rest of the girls to leave quickly. Xu Xin looked at Chen Hao worriedly. She felt conflicted as she wanted to stay back to apany him. On the other hand, Jiang Ranran looked at Chen Hao like he was an idiot and rolled her eyes. Then, she forcefully dragged Xu Xin and left the scene. Liu Li did not stop them because he knew very well that there would be a continuation to this matter. When the timees, it would not have been a simple matter of drinking liquor anymore when he gets his hands on these girls. As for Chen Hao, he obviously gave Tian Long and Di Hu a call. ¡°Call your men. Call all of them here. Hahaha!¡± After Chen Hao made the call, he gave Liu Li a casual smile. Chen Hao could only keep a low profile in front of familiar faces due to a multitude of reasons, just like in Jiang Weidong¡¯s house today, and that was because Jiang Weidong was an elder after all. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t an upstart to begin with, hence, he could only swallow his anger in silence when faced with certain situations. Because if Chen Hao wanted to make them look foolish, it would be as easy as lifting his fingers. This time with Liu Li was a different case however. Hence, he would deal with it just like the way he handled Xu Wei from the Haishan Commercial Group. Once it became a serious issue, Chen Hao would not back down one bit. Soon after that, the screeching sounds of tires could be heard. A fleet of luxury cars had stopped outside the entrance of the KTV. A team of bodyguards in ck suits got down from the car and the leaders of that team were none other than Tian Long and Di Hu. Both of them were the managers of Chen Hao¡¯s base as well as his personal bodyguards. Wherever Chen Hao was, they would naturally appear there as well in order to provide support at any given time. ¡°Young Master Chen is inside. Rush forward now!¡± Tian Long and Di Hu waved their hands and the entire group of people rushed inside the KTV. At this moment, inside the private room¡­ Liu Li yed around with the wine ss in his hands as he looked at his watch. ¡°Young man, five minutes have already gone by and there isn¡¯t a single phone call from your side. Are you trying to pull my leg?¡± Just when he was joking around, a loud m was heard, and the doors to the private room were kicked open. A group of people rushed in straightaway. The bodyguards of the gang leaders were quite alert as they immediately prepared to fight. However, before they could do that, they were flipped onto their backs by the bodyguards in ck suits. The bodyguards¡¯ movements were swift and ruthless. It was akin to a tiger pouncing on their prey. ¡°Who are you guys?¡± Liu Li was stunned. When he saw their movements and felt their cold, ruthless aura, he knew that these weren¡¯t ordinary people. ¡°Young Master Chen, is that him?¡± Tian Long and Di Hu walked to Chen Hao¡¯s side and asked in a whisper. ¡°Yes, teach him a lesson!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head indifferently. ¡°Damn it, don¡¯t you dare! Do you know whose territory this is?¡± At this moment, a middle-aged guy who was known as Mr. Dragon said harshly. Although his face looked ruthless, his forehead was already covered in sweat as he thought to himself that he had met a formidable opponent this time! ¡°This is Da Fei¡¯s territory. Don¡¯t think that you all can leave here alive once he gets here!¡± Liu Li yelled. ¡°Madam Hong, give Da Fei a call quickly!¡± At that moment, he shot Madam Hong a nce. Madam Hong nodded her head. ¡°Hmph! I have already sent a text message to Da Fei. He is bringing his men here as we speak. We can just sit back and enjoy the show when he arrivester.¡± On the other side¡­ ¡°Lin Dong, stop the car! I want to get down!¡± Lin Dong and the rest of the group had already driven the car away in a hurry. However, halfway through their journey, Xu Xin suddenly felt uneasy and wanted to get down from the car. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Xu Xin?¡± asked Jiang Ranran. ¡°This is wrong. I am still worried about Chen Hao being left there all by himself. Everybody here knows what kind of person Liu Li is. He will actually sever Chen Hao¡¯s limbs!¡± Xu Xin nearly cried out of worry at the thought of it. ¡°Hmph, why are you so worried about him? He deserves it for trying to be a hero,¡± said Jiang Ranran with contempt. She could see clearly now that Chen Hao could not even hold a candle to Lin Dong. One of them was an idiot while the other person could adapt quickly to a situation. Especially since Lin Dong set an example for everyone as he was the first one to chug down that bottle of liquor. Jiang Ranran was moved by his gesture. There wasn¡¯t a greater man than him! However, when she thought of Chen Hao, Jiang Ranran could only shake her head wordlessly. ¡°She is right, Xu Xin. Besides, neither of you are familiar with each other so why do we need to care whether he lives or dies? Sh*t! Xu Xin, don¡¯t tell me you are in love with that poor loser?¡± Lin Dong asked her as he drove the car. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you all think. All I know is that if it weren¡¯t for Chen Hao today, all of us won¡¯t be able to get away that easily. Stop the car now, I want to go back there to take a look!¡± Lin Dong could not stand Xu Xin¡¯s panicking, hence he stopped the car. She immediately ran back to the KTV after she got out of the car. ¡°Xu Xin,e back!¡± Jiang Ranran shouted anxiously, ¡°Lin Dong, what should we do? What if Xu Xin¡¯s life is in danger? How can we tell this to her grandfather?¡± ¡°Sigh! We should go back even if we can¡¯t do anything about it.¡± ¡°Huh? You aren¡¯t thinking of rescuing Chen Hao too right?¡± ¡°What the f*ck? Why would I rescue him? I am worried that something will happen to Xu Xin. If we go back now, we can ask Xu Xin to just stand from afar and observe the situation. At least then we can N?velDrama.Org is the owner. grasp the situation better,¡± Lin Dong exined. Everybody agreed. And so, both of the cars made a U-turn and went back to the scene¡­ Chapter 211 The Men Are Here on Chen Hao’s Orders Chapter 211 The Men Are Here on Chen Hao¡¯s Orders ¡°Huh? What is happening here?¡± When Jiang Ranran and the rest of them hid themselves by the side of the road to observe the scene, they were shocked by what they discovered. Apparently, there were numerous luxury cars parked in front of the entrance of the KTV, and many people were seen bustling around that area as well. ¡°What the f*ck! Something must have happened here. Could Chen Hao have gotten himself into some massive trouble?¡± said Lin Dong as he analyzed the situation. ¡°He definitely did. Otherwise, who else could have caused such a massive stir in Ping An County? If I had known earlier that this would happen, I would not have brought him here at all. Look at the mess he created. If he did cause some massive trouble, we would all be implicated as well. After all, Young Master Liu knows that he is with us.¡± Several guys whispered amongst each other. They all looked depressed. After hearing their words, Xu Xin was so terrified that her face turned pale. If what they said was true, then was Chen Hao still alive? No way! I have to go inside there personally to take a look. If I cannot do anything about it, then I will make a police report, Xu Xin thought to herself as she immediately ran inside the KTV. Xu Xin had a good impression of Chen Hao. Of course, it was their first meeting so love was definitely out of the question. She felt that Chen Hao was a nice and dependable person. In order to save everyone, he had taken their punishment all upon himself. She would never abandon Chen Hao just like Jiang Ranran and the rest of them did. She just couldn¡¯t do it, hence she felt very anxious. ¡°Xu Xin, are you mad? Come back here quickly!¡± Jiang Ranran came down from the car in a panic as she yelled after her. Xu Xin was her best friend, so she could not bear to see Xu Xin being harmed as well. She was afraid for her safety, hence she ran after her. She wanted to stop her from acting impulsively. As for Lin Dong and the rest of them, they sat inside the car and smoked their cigarettes. They only watched from a distance as they did not dare toe down from their car. ¡°What the hell! It is a mess inside. I don¡¯t know who Young Master Liu offended, but he was beaten up quite severely!¡± ¡°You are right. I don¡¯t even dare to look at him. It really was a dramatic scene. Young Master Liu actually thought that he was a powerful person. However, he did not expect that somebody else is way more powerful than him. Haha!¡± Just then, several young men anddies walked past Xu Xin. They were chattering away about the incident. When Xu Xin overheard their conversation, she was stunned. Young Master Liu was beaten up severely? Then what about Chen Hao? At that moment, she quickly stopped them and asked them about the situation inside. Jiang Ranran happened to catch up with her right then. When the guys saw the two beautiful youngdies, they instantly became a chatterbox and told them about the situation that happened inside the private room of the KTV. ¡°Miss, since both of you haven¡¯t entered yet, I bet you all haven¡¯t seen him. But you guys must have heard of the infamous Young Master Liu, right? He is the wealthiest Young Master in Ping An County who goes by the name of Liu Li. Just now, he was nearly rendered disabled by a group of bodyguards in ck suits. Those people were ruthless. I heard that they came from Jin Ling City. You could tell by just looking at their cars! So awesome!¡± one of the guys said excitedly. ¡°Liu Li had iting. Originally, I thought that he was able to turn the tables and teach them a lesson after he asked Da Fei toe. In the end, when Da Fei arrived, he was very courteous and respectful toward those two people. He even gave them cigarettes and poured them some wine. Young Master Liu¡¯s face turned green at that moment.¡± ¡°Moreover, the gang leaders in that room were a bunch of cowards,¡± said the other two guys. ¡°I am not asking you about Liu Li. I am asking you whether a young man has been injured? Did Liu Li injure a young man?¡± Xu Xin asked worriedly. ¡°Huh? A young man? Other than Liu Li and Mr. Four who had taken a severe beating, nobody else was injured. Oh yeah, as for the bodyguards that Liu Li brought along with him, they were immediately beaten up until they were unconscious. However, I did not see a young man amongst them.¡± ¡°How could this be? Where is Chen Hao? Could you guys have recognized the wrong person? Maybe the guy who was beaten up severely wasn¡¯t Liu Li?¡± asked Jiang Ranran in disbelief. ¡°No way! All of us have seen Liu Li¡¯s picture before.¡± Then, the group of people left amidst their friendly bantering. ¡°So, does this mean that Chen Hao is alright?¡± Xu Xin instantly rxed. ¡°But why would this group of wealthy people beat up Liu Li? Ranran, do you think that those men were here under Chen Hao¡¯s orders?¡± asked Xu Xin abruptly. That was because she suddenly recalled Chen Hao saying that he would ask a group of people to apany Liu Li as he was asking them to leave. What he actually meant at that time was that he would find someone to challenge Liu Li to a fight. Back then, Xu Xin did not think too much about it as she thought that Chen Hao was trying to buy them some time by distracting Liu Li. In the end, arge group of people did arrive and beat up Liu Li. Xu Xin¡¯s doubts instantly made Jiang Ranran tremble in shock. ¡°How could it be? How could he have this kind of capability? I know him! He is only a poor loser, so how could he be acquainted with so many wealthy people? Xu Xin, don¡¯t let him fool you!¡± What the f*ck?! If this was true, then Jiang Ranran would immediately bang her head against the wall and die. Because how could this be possible?! At this moment, Jiang Ranran motioned Lin Dong and the rest of them, who were still in the car, to Then, she told them everything that had happened just now. When they heard that Liu Li was beaten up beyond recognition, they were all surprised. Then, they stared in admiration at the fleet of luxury cars parked at the entrance of the KTV. ¡°Hey guys,e take a look at this quickly. Isn¡¯t that Chen Hao?¡± Jiang Ranran¡¯s gaze suddenly shifted. Right then, she saw Chen Hao having his meal by the window in a Western restaurant beside the KTV. She thought that she was nearly going blind. ¡°No way! What the f*ck?! That¡¯s really him.¡± Lin Dong was stunned as well. Everybody thought that Chen Hao was doomed. But in the end, he was actually having his meal in a Western restaurant. Furthermore, he was seated at a good spot. This¡­ ¡°So nothing actually happened to Chen Hao at all! Ranran, perhaps Chen Hao was right. Maybe the men were here under his orders, hence, he might be acquainted with some wealthy people!¡± said Xu Xin with delight. ¡°No way! It¡¯s not possible! I won¡¯t believe it. Lin Dong, let us go over there and ask him what happened just now. Moreover, how could this poor loser afford to eat in a Western restaurant?!¡± Jiang Ranran was so anxious that she stamped her foot on the ground. How could the person she looked down upon possessed such capabilities? Wasn¡¯t this a p in the face for her? ¡°Ok, let us head over there to take a look. Lee, could you bring these drunk people home first?¡± Lin Dong said to hisckey at this moment, despite his own drunkenness. That was because many of the guys had chugged down an entire bottle of liquor in one go earlier. The effects of the alcohol were starting to show, while some of them had already started to feel quite ufortable. Lin Dong could hold his alcohol better. But since he was reluctant to leave when faced with such a monumental asion, he could only endure it. Then, along with Jiang Ranran and Xu Xin, the three of them headed toward the Western restaurant. ¡°Chen Hao, I really thought that I was going blind! I didn¡¯t expect you to be here. How could youe over here just to sit down and not order anything? Don¡¯t tell me you slipped out and sat here just because you have nowhere else to sit?¡± Jiang Ranran rushed over angrily to question him. Initially, she was worried that Chen Hao was a rich guy and had the capabilities to do what he did just now. However, Jiang Ranran rxed when she saw Chen Hao¡¯s empty table. He most likely came here to take refuge. ¡°Ranran, you may not know this, but although this Western restaurant looks empty, it is a high-end restaurant and their main branch is in Jin Ling. Ordinary people wouldn¡¯t dare enter a ce like this. In fact, this could be the best ce for Chen Hao to take refuge in. Haha!¡± Lin Dong ridiculed him. On the other hand, Chen Hao was dumbfounded. Just now in the private room of the KTV, his bodyguards had already beaten up Liu Li and the rest of his men. Chen Hao felt that it was too boring to stand there and watch them do the deed as he only wanted to teach the guy a lesson. Hence, he did not n on staying there for long. After all, it wasn¡¯t in his nature to unt his power. In addition to that, he was hungry right now as he Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. had little to eat for lunch. And that was why he came out for a meal. However, just as he sat down and thought about his ns for the future after ordering his meals, unexpectedly, Jiang Ranran and the rest of them came back. What was happening here? Didn¡¯t he ask them to leave just now? Chen Hao did not know how to exin himself at this moment. Just then, six waiters were seen forming a line in the Western restaurant. They were each carrying a Western dish as they made their way toward Chen Hao with respect¡­ Chapter 212 Expensive French Cuisine Chapter 212 Expensive French Cuisine ¡°Please excuse me, Ma¡¯am.¡± The head waitress smiled and looked at Jiang Ranran politely. She thenid sets of exquisite western-style meals across the dining table in front of Chen Hao while Jiang Ranran looked on in awe. ¡°Eh? What?¡± Jiang Ranran was stupefied. ¡°What in the world? Hey, did you guys serve the wrong table?¡± Jiang Ranran eximed. The western-style lunch looked expensive. The meal itself would cost at least 3,000 and it was served to someone as poverty-stricken as Chen Hao? Yes, Jiang Ranran always looked down on Chen Hao. She thought of Chen Hao as a poor dude who could not afford any luxury in his life. She recalled being ridiculed by her friends when she identally had a slip of the tongue and revealed her engagement with Chen Hao which was arranged by her father and Chen Hao¡¯s father when they were still kids back then. ¡°Ranran, your fianc¨¦ is still waiting for you in the vige!¡± Her schoolmates¡¯ughs still rang vividly in her ears. It was the worst sarcasm ever received by Jiang Ranran. She was deeply offended by the sarcastic remark even though she seldom mentioned it. Chen Hao really disgusted her as she thought any acquaintance with a poor dude like Chen Hao would tarnish her reputation. Yet he was enjoying his exquisite lunch right now. ¡°No Ma¡¯am, we didn¡¯t serve the wrong table. Mr. Chen here ordered our most expensive set lunch, prepared by our Head Chef from France. It costs 6,999!¡± The waitress smiled warmly at Jiang Ranran and bowed to Chen Hao politely before leaving the table. What? 6,999? Jiang Ranran was bewildered. She had never spent so much on a lunch before! ¡°Chen Hao, what is the meaning of this? You are poorer than everyone else and yet you choose to waste your money like this? You even ordered a French cuisine! Are you crazy? Did you know you can do much more things with your 7,000 other than wasting it all on a single lunch like this?¡± Jiang Ranran retorted. ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right, pretending to be a millionaire when you are penniless. A poor loser like you actually spent 6,999 on a lunch, the same price as a cell phone for a rich gentleman like me! Have you gone mad?¡± Lin Dong agreed with Jiang Ranran. In a ce like Ping An County, it was awesome enough to own a cell phone that cost 3,000. Lin Dong felt even more proud of owning a cell phone that cost 6,999. So, Lin Dong was quite upset when he realized the price of his cell phone was actually equal to the price of Chen Hao¡¯s lunch. ¡°Chen Hao, you should buy yourself some decent clothes and a nicer cell phone with the amount of money you have, to make yourself look more presentable, you know? But instead, you choose to waste N?velDrama.Org is the owner. your money like this! Oh well¡­¡± Jiang Ranran shook her head and looked at Chen Hao, speechless with the way Chen Hao spent his money. Her eyes full of disappointment. Indeed, Chen Hao¡¯s behavior and mentality were so different from Lin Dong¡¯s. Lin Dong was so much better than Chen Hao. Buzz! Chen Hao¡¯s cell phone vibrated suddenly. He picked up his cell phone and saw an unknown number appear on the screen. Surprised, Jiang Ranran and Lin Dong stared at him with their bulging eyes when Chen Hao took out his cell phone. Their awkward stares made Chen Hao hesitate to answer the call. So, he hung up and shoved the phone back into his pocket. Chen Hao¡¯s expensive cell phone was like a p in Jiang Ranran¡¯s face and Chen Hao thought it would not be appropriate to embarrass Jiang Ranran in front of her boyfriend. After all, she was the daughter of Uncle Jiang. ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t move! Let me see your cell phone!¡± The dumbfounded Jiang Ranran quickly snatched the cell phone from Chen Hao. ¡°This is¡­?¡± Jiang Ranran murmured. ¡°This cell phone model is new in the market. It costs 29,999. You use this, Chen Hao?¡± Xu Xin, Jiang Ranran and Lin Dong were all stunned by Chen Hao. ¡°Erm, the cell phone¡­ belongs to my friend! Well, isn¡¯t it cool having such an advanced cell phone?¡± Chen Hao said in a humorous underbrag. ¡°Well, just continue lying. I know it¡¯s YOUR cell phone!¡± Xu Xin said, rolling her eyes. Jiang Ranran was silent, confused by Chen Hao¡¯s sudden wealth. What¡¯s going on here? Is this person really the Chen Hao I know? The person I hated¡­ so, is he the one who called for those people? ¡°Forget about it, it¡¯s just a cell phone. Let¡¯s not make such a fuss about it! You guys have drunk a lot just now without having much proper meals. How about a nice meal of French cuisine, guys? It¡¯s my treat!¡± Chen Hao invited warmly, with a broad smile across his face, trying desperately to divert the conversation away from his cell phone. ¡°Great! I¡¯m so hungry now and I¡¯ve never tried a French cuisine that costs 6,999 before! Chen Hao, are you really going to treat us?¡± Xu Xinughed. ¡°Of course!¡± Chen Hao reassured Xu Xin. ¡°Xu Xin, aren¡¯t you forgetting something? You were worried about Chen Hao just now, weren''t you? Don¡¯t you want to know how he got away unhurt?¡± Jiang Ranran said stoically. ¡°Oh yeah, I almost forgot! It always happens when I get excited. Tell us, Chen Hao, how you got away just now? And those people outside¡­ did you call for them?¡± ¡°Oh yeah, how did I get away just now?¡± Chen Hao repeated innocently. ¡°That¡¯s what we asked just now!¡± Jiang Ranran frowned at Chen Hao. Chen Hao pped his forehead and exined, ¡°Well, I was about to get into a fight with Liu Li when a bunch of people from the next room stormed in suddenly and fought with Liu Li¡¯s people. They seem to have some kind of grudge against Liu Li. So, I just sneaked out amidst the chaos.¡± Chen Hao brushed the matter aside lightly. Jiang Ranran looked at Chen Hao, speechless with anger. Chen Hao was clearly lying. What the heck is he talking about? You sneaked out and had a luxurious French meal right next door? What a liar! Oh well, no point asking again! His stupid story really pisses me off! ¡°How about both of you stay for lunch? It¡¯s my treat!¡± Chen Hao invited Jiang Ranran and Xu Xin. Looking at the table full of delicious sets of French cuisine, Jiang Ranran really wanted to stay and try the cuisine. Like any other girls, she liked food too! But thinking about herplicated rtionship with Chen Hao, how could she stay and lunch with him? How could she throw away her pride for a lunch? ¡°No, thanks! We will order it ourselves!¡± Jiang Ranran folded her arms snobbishly in front of her chest and threw Lin Dong a longing look. She really wanted to try the cuisine! Lin Dong, on the other hand, pulled out his wallet and counted the notes inside. A lunch cost over 6,000. He merely had about 10,000 in his wallet. How could he pull 7,000 out of his pocket for a luxury meal when he just billed over 8,000 for a karaoke session at the KTV next door? He came from a powerful family, but that did not mean his family was rich! ¡°Erm¡­ Ranran, how about we¡¯ll have the meal next time? I¡¯m a bit drunk right now.¡± ¡°But, Lin Dong¡­¡± Jiang Ranran knew Lin Dong was running out of money. Feeling embarrassed, Jiang Ranran and Lin Dong stood up and were about to leave. As Lin Dong turned around, he identally knocked over a vase ced on the table beside them. nk! The vase fell to the ground and broke. Sh*t! Lin Dong was startled. A waiter hurried toward Lin Dong followed by the loud noise. ¡°Excuse me, Sir. The floral centerpiece¡­¡± the waiter said politely, waiting for Lin Dong¡¯s response. ¡°It¡¯s just a broken vase with some flowers. It¡¯s not a big deal! I¡¯ll pay for it! 1,000 will be enough, right? Here you go!¡± Lin Dong pulled 1,000 from his wallet and threw the money on the table with his unique mboyant style. He nced at Jiang Ranran and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Ranran!¡± Jiang Ranran nodded quietly, mesmerized by the dashing Lin Dong. ¡°Please wait a minute, Sir!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°The floral centerpiece you broke is a valuable artistic disy in the restaurant. 1,000 is not enough to The waiter smiled and exined politely. ¡°What? 10,000?¡± Lin Dong was shocked. Chapter 213 A Short Stay at Chen Hao’s Old House Chapter 213 A Short Stay at Chen Hao¡¯s Old House ¡°Yes Sir, 10,000!¡± The waiter smiled. Lin Dong¡¯s face turned pale. He thought he could pretentiously settle the whole mess with just 1,000. He never thought the centerpiece would be that expensive! He was thinking about using his father¡¯s connection to settle the mess. But on second thought, that was impossible either. Since the restaurant¡¯s headquarters was located in Jin Ling City and the owner was quite influential in the city, using his own connections alone would not be enough to settle the mess! But it was also impossible for him to pull 10,000 from his pocket right now! ¡°Oh,e on, it¡¯s just ten thousand. It¡¯s no big deal!¡± Jiang Ranran rebuked coldly. She had a sudden urge to shove the money in the waiter¡¯s face. She simply could not lose face in front of Chen Hao! Jiang Ranran nced across at Lin Dong. She knew Lin Dong would be able to save her from humiliation! Lin Dong stroked his pocket and whispered to Jiang Ranran, ¡°I only have about two to three thousand left!¡± ¡°What?¡± Jiang Ranran thought if Lin Dong still had some five to six thousand with him, then perhaps, with some amount left on her, they could squeeze out ten thousand together and save themselves from humiliation. But it was impossible now that Lin Dong was only left with such a small amount of money! Suddenly, Jiang Ranran felt awkward with their predicament. ¡°Waiter, the bill is on me. I¡¯ll pay for them in advance!¡± Initially, Chen Hao did not n to help them while watching them whispering to each other. But he could see that Lin Dong was clearly running out of money. And he also noticed Jiang Ranran¡¯s strained face. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. Even though Jiang Ranran and Lin Dong were rude to him, Chen Hao could not bring himself to shame Jiang Ranran like that. After all, he did promise Jiang Ranran that he would help her in case she faced any trouble. Atst, Chen Hao decided to help them. ¡°Lin Dong doesn¡¯t want your money. He has friends who he can borrow money from!¡± Jiang Ranran rejected Chen Hao¡¯s offer. Lin Dong wondered who would be willing to lend him money. Dad will kill me if he knows I borrowed money from my friends, Lin Dong thought to himself. So, Lin Dong decided to borrow from Chen Hao. He agreed. ¡°Okay, Chen Hao. I¡¯ll borrow 10,000 from you first! I¡¯ll return the money tomorrow!¡± ¡°No problem! Oh, don¡¯t forget to sign an IOU!¡± Chen Hao smiled faintly. The waiter hurried back with a pen and a paper. Lin Dong reluctantly wrote the note and passed it to Chen Hao. He then picked up the 1,000 he threw on the table, shoved the money in his wallet and left the restaurant with Jiang Ranran. ¡°Ranran, it¡¯s a waste not to take the money from that idiot. How dare he humiliate me in front of everyone today? Well, let¡¯s just wait and see when he needs money from me. I¡¯ll get back at him then. After all, he¡¯s just a poor loser!¡± Lin Dong was thinking about how to get even with Chen Hao. Jiang Ranran stared at Lin Dong in disbelief. All of a sudden, Lin Dong was like aplete stranger to her, as if she never knew him before. Only one word to describe Lin Dong now¡ªlowlife. Indeed, Lin Dong was quite a lowlife to have thoughts like that. Jiang Ranran used to think that money was not so important in life. After all, she grew up in afortable middle-ss family where there was not much struggle for money and other necessities of life. As such, Jiang Ranran thought her future boyfriend need not have to be extremely rich as long as he could take her out for a decent meal. So, Lin Dong, with his well-connected acquaintances and a prosperous career became her No. 1 boyfriend candidate, as he was respectable among the people. However, the little ident in the restaurant changed Jiang Ranran¡¯s perspective on life. Someone who can take me out for a decent meal? It¡¯s impossible to have a decent meal without money. Jiang Ranran desperately wanted to enjoy the French cuisine ordered by Chen Hao. But she could not because Lin Dong could not afford them. Lin Dong could not even afford topensate for a broken vase. And now, he was busy thinking about how to avenge his humiliation after borrowing money from Chen Hao. Is this the kind of person I like? Jiang Ranran shook her head. ¡°Come on, Ranran. I¡¯ll drive you home!¡± Lin Dong said. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Lin Dong, you go first. I¡¯ll take a cab myself.¡± As soon as Jiang Ranran finished her sentence, she hailed a cab by the street, climbed inside the car and left. Lin Dong was left alone, staring nkly at the street. Noticing Jiang Ranran¡¯s unusual behavior, Lin Dong¡¯s resentment for Chen Hao grew even deeper. A momentter, in the restaurant, after Chen Hao and Xu Xin finished their lunch, they exchanged contacts. Chen Hao called a cab to send Xu Xin home. He went back to check on the KTV next door and noticed the fight was over. The ce would be closed tonight. Tired of all the unexpected adventures of the day, Chen Hao immediately took a cab and returned to his hotel. His cell phone rang again when he reached the hotel. It was the same unknown number from lunch just now. Who is it? Chen Hao wondered curiously while proceeding to answer the call. ¡°Chen Hao, what are you doing? Why didn¡¯t you answer my call?¡± Once connected, a clear and sweet voice of a girl was heard. Chen Hao was puzzled after hearing the voice. ¡°Qin Ya, it¡¯s you?¡± Chen Hao asked curiously. He suddenly realized two weeks had passed since the school holidays started. Chen Hao had spent most of the past two weeks taking care of Mr. Wu in the hospital. Besides, Qin Ya seems to be ignoring him due to some misunderstandings over an incident that happened duringst school holiday. Chen Hao thought it was better still that Qin Ya did not call him. Since then, they had lost contact with each other. Chen Hao did not expect to receive a call from Qin Ya now. ¡°Chen Hao, aren¡¯t you surprised? I¡¯m ringing from thendline telephone in my room. What¡¯s the matter? Why didn¡¯t you call me? Did you forget about me?¡± Qin Yained. ¡°No, I¡¯m just a little surprised to receive your call, that¡¯s all!¡± Chen Hao said, a wry smile crossed his face. ¡°Why can¡¯t I call you?¡± Qin Ya teased Chen Hao. ¡°Maybe because I¡¯m just a poor loser and not somebody born with a silver spoon in his mouth!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t put yourself down like that!¡± Qin Ya reproached. ¡°No, really. A lot of girls called me that!¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯m not like any other girls, Chen Hao. In fact, I think you are better than those rich spoiled guys. I know that you are just avoiding me because you truly love your girlfriend. You will be nicer to me if you don¡¯t have a girlfriend, right?¡± ¡°Maybe¡­¡± Chen Hao hesitated, unsure how to react to Qin Ya¡¯s feelings. Chen Hao liked Qin Ya¡¯s personality. She was beautiful, charming and kind. He thought it would be fortunate for any guy to take Qin Ya as his girlfriend. But Chen Hao, who already had Su Tongxin, would not fall in love with Qin Ya even though he liked her. ¡°Anything important?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°I can¡¯t call if I don¡¯t have any important matters? Alright then, I¡¯m fine. Let¡¯s end the call then!¡± Qin Ya snapped. Beep¡­ Chen Hao hung up the phone straight away. He answered the call again when Qin Ya phoned back immediately. ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this? Why are you behaving like this? You are pissing me off! Of course I have important things I need to tell you!¡± Qin Ya yelled, speechless with Chen Hao. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Is it okay if Ie visit you at your old house tomorrow and stay there for a few days? Hello, Chen Hao, are you listening?¡± Chapter 214 A Failed Attempt at Showing Off Chapter 214 A Failed Attempt at Showing Off ¡°What did you say?¡± Chen Hao was shocked by her words. What does she mean by staying at my house for a few days? How would I allow this? And not to mention that I have to call Su Tongxin every day! It¡¯s a fact that I already have a girlfriend even though she is studying abroad now. How is it eptable for me to stay in a house alone with another girl? Chen Hao didn¡¯t feel right to do so. ¡°No, I can¡¯t agree to this,¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s fine then. I thought there would be someone who is willing to help me. I understand¡­¡±Qin Ya said disappointedly. ¡°What happened?¡± Chen Hao asked curiously. Thinking about it, it¡¯s not like Qin Ya to ask to stay at my house without any reason. Don¡¯t tell me that Qin Ya likes me? Haha, Chen Hao wasn¡¯t that narcissistic to that extent. He was just curious about it. ¡°I¡¯m engaged,¡± Qin Ya said after a pause. ¡°Oh, congrattions¡­¡± Chen Hao felt something was off judging by her tone. He then asked carefully, ¡°It''s good news right? Who are you engaged to?¡± ¡°Li Yue. My father¡¯s business has met a crisis recently, so he needs help from Li Yue¡¯s family¡¯s business to ovee this crisis. Since Li Yue has been courting me recently and his dad has also has also saved my mother¡¯s life before.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t want to get engaged. You know, sometimes, I feel like I¡¯m dreaming. I have so many ns and goals to aplish, and I should only think about marriage when I¡¯m 30 years old. But now I haven¡¯t even graduated yet but I am engaged to someone. Not to mention it¡¯s to someone I don¡¯t like. I feel so helpless!¡± ¡°I thought of running away from home, but Li Yue seems to know all of my friends, he¡¯ll surely find me. You are the only one I thought I could seek for help, but I didn¡¯t expect you to ignore me too!¡± As she said that, Qin Ya burst into tears. Listening to her, Chen Hao finally found out what was going on. Anyone would be upset to encounter this kind of situation. Furthermore, he was one of the indirect reasons that caused this situation. He was the one who saved Qin Ya¡¯s mother but he didn¡¯t admit that as he didn¡¯t want to have much interaction with Qin Ya in the future. And this ended up being used by Li Yue to act as a hero in front of the Qin family. To be frank, I have to bear part of the responsibility for putting Qin Ya in this kind of situation. What should I do now? Obviously Qin Ya wants to hide or run away from home to protest to her father. That¡¯s why she thought toe over to my ce to stay for a while. Should he just refuse her and ask her to go back and get married? To be honest, Chen Hao felt it was such a waste for Qin Ya to get married to a bastard like Li Yue, like putting a flower on a pile of cow dung. But how did he want to exin to Tongxin if he allowed Qin Ya to stay at his house? Besides, he felt sorry for Qin Ya too if he really turned her down. Chen Hao thought of a term¡ªkarma. Sooner orter, he had to pay for what he had done before. ¡°Alright then. You cane to my house. I have to tell you first, I¡¯m not living in my hometown. I¡¯m living in the county now. And you have to go back home once the matter has been settled,¡± Chen Hao said. This happened because of him so naturally he had to take up the responsibility to solve it. It was simple to solve this matter¡ªonce he revealed his identity, everything would be settled. That was why he dared to allow Qin Ya to stay at his house. ¡°Sure! Thank you so much, Chen Hao! I love you to death! Don¡¯t worry, I just want to frighten and threaten my dad into turning down the marriage,¡± Qin Ya said happily. After he hung up the call, he still felt it was a little inappropriate. But he couldn¡¯t care much about it since he had promised to Qin Ya to help her. Moreover, the hotel that he was staying at now was actually a suite which was suitable for two people to stay together. Since Chen Hao had to look after Mr. Wu and have discussions with Li Zhenguo and others, he had booked arger room. Chen Hao had also decided to stop keeping a low profile and hiding his identity from Qin Ya. Early the next day, Qin Ya came to meet Chen Hao by train. As for Chen Hao, he had gone to the station to pick her up in his Mercedes Benz G500. If it wasn¡¯t because he had left his Lamborghini at Cloud Mansion, he would havee to fetch her in his Lamborghini. He wanted to let her know about his identity, then help her solve the matter. Chen Hao thought it should be a simple task. He stopped his Mercedes Benz G500 at the station. As expected, it attracted a crowd who stopped to look at it. There were even some young girls who came with their mobile phones to take photos or videos of it. After all, the car was worth more than two million! ¡°My god! There is a G500 in our Ping An County! Whose car do you think it is? It must belong to a young master!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Oh my god, do I look pretty today? What if the young master falls in love with me once he sees me when he gets out of the car?¡± ¡°Hahaha, stop daydreaming!¡± ¡°Sisters, let¡¯s go say hi!¡± the young girls whispered to each other shyly and chuckled from time to time. ¡°The owner of this car must be very rich huh?¡± Suddenly, an olddy in her eighties who was on crutches went forward to the young girls and asked. ¡°Of course! This G500 costs more than two million! Granny, don¡¯t tell me that you think you have a chance. He is a young master after all¡­¡± the girls said inughter. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with being old? I have my right to pursue my happiness! Hmph!¡± The old granny snorted in disdain and trotted to the car on her crutches. The young girls followed and ran towards the car too. There were more and more people at the station who came to look at the car. Chen Hao took a deep breath while sitting in the car. This was the first time he was so high profile. Back then, he had always kept a low profile. Every time he did something that might attract the spotlight, he felt a thrill deep in his heart. As if he wanted to say ¡®I have waited for this opportunity for three years. I¡¯m doing this not because I want to show off to others how great I am. I just want to tell them that I will take back what I¡¯ve lost before this!¡¯ Phew¡­ Chen Hao put on his sunsses, took out his car key and got ready to get out of the car in front of everyone. Bang! However, he seemed to knock into something as he opened the car door, followed by a horrible scream Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. in pain. A white haired olddy fell on the ground after her crutches were knocked away. Sh*t! Chen Hao¡¯s mind went nk immediately. ¡°Young man, i-i-is your car alright?¡± The olddy lying on the ground howled in fear. ¡°What happened?¡± Some people immediately came forward to find out what was going on, and soon, a crowd formed in front of them. ¡°Cough, what else could have happened? The young man opened the car door and knocked down the olddy. In fact, I saw that the olddy trot to the door herself! I guess she purposely got knocked down by the car door to im medical costpensation!¡± ¡°Oh I see!¡± But there were some people who came to rubberneck without knowing the whole event. ¡°Oh no, why is this young fe so careless? I guess it would cost a lot for him to repair his car!¡± some of the people in the crowd said. Chen Hao had no choice but to walk out from his car to help the olddy. ¡°Don¡¯te here. It isn¡¯t your fault because I¡¯m the one who knocked on the door myself. I only have an old mother at home and I don¡¯t have any children. I really can¡¯t afford to pay forpensation!¡± The olddy burst into tears. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, granny. What¡¯s so special about being rich? Even if he''s rich, he ought to be sorry and afraid, we¡¯re on your side!¡± A few sympathetic young men shouted aggressively. After a while, the traffic police came. Naturally, they had to clear the crowd. Although the olddy might have had the intention to ckmail Chen Hao, it was Chen Hao who opened the door and knocked her down. Therefore, Chen Hao went to the police station to file a report after sending the olddy to the hospital. He was speechless about the whole incident. As apensation, he gave some money to the olddy, and it took him about forty minutes to deal with the entire incident. As he was about to leave the hospital, he received a phone call from Qin Ya. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you wereing to fetch me? Where are you?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m heading there now!¡± Chen Hao replied quickly. ¡°It¡¯s fine, you don¡¯t have to. I¡¯ve taken a cab to meet you!¡± Chapter 215 Bumping Into Old Classmates Chapter 215 Bumping Into Old ssmates ¡°Chen Hao,e and eat the fruits that I¡¯ve bought for you. I have washed it for you! ¡± Qin Ya ced a te of fruit on the table. She took an apple and munched on it while watching television. Chen Hao thought that she didn¡¯t look like a runaway bride; she looked as though she was here for a vacation instead. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Chen Hao came back with Qin Ya half an hour ago. He went to take a bath after he had settled her down. Chen Hao was speechless looking at how carefree she was. As for why he was living in a suite, Chen Hao managed to brush the question off with a few words. Since it did not work out when he wanted to show off just now, he decided to just stop putting on air. Or else it would be quite embarrassing, ¡°Hey, it''s better to make it clear to your father about your engagement rather than putting it on hold like this. Sooner orter, thepany''s crisis will pass, so there''s no need to sacrifice your happiness anymore, right?¡± asked Chen Hao as he sat down. He had decided that he would fund Qin Ya family¡¯spany if they really had financial problems. ¡°I understand. But it is not as easy as you think. Sigh! I have finally calmed myself. Can you please stop talking about it?¡± Qin Ya pouted. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a few days, Chen Hao. I think that you have be fairer and more handsome!¡± She looked at Chen Hao and went on saying with a smile. Chen Hao smiled wryly and asked, ¡°Is it?¡± Suddenly, Qin Ya¡¯s mobile phone rang. Qin Ya seemed like she was unwilling to answer the call. After she hesitated for a while, she answered, ¡°What? I¡¯ve told you that I am not going back! Don¡¯t engaged to him. I don''t like him at all! On the contrary, I hate him very much, and I don''t want to get engaged so early. Stop it, I''m fine now! If there is nothing else, I¡¯m ending the call!¡± Qin Ya threw her phone on the table and became gloomy again. Chen Hao was listening to her conversation from the side and thought that it must be a call from her father. He must have persuaded her to go back. At this time, Qin Ya¡¯s mobile phone rang again. Qin Ya picked up the phone angrily. ¡°You are so annoying! I already said that...Oh! It¡¯s Tongtong?¡± Her facial expression eased when she learned that it was from Zhao Tongtong. She turned on speaker mode and they both started chatting, with her legs hugged up to her chest and her chin rested on her knees. ¡°Qin Ya, don''t tell me that you really went to find Chen Hao? Don¡¯t you know that your father called my father just now and asked if you were in my house? He even called and asked our roommates! He''s worried to death!¡± Zhao Tongtong said. ¡°That¡¯s right! I am at Chen Hao¡¯s ce now. Let him be! There¡¯s no way I will agree to be engaged to that man!¡± Zhao Tongtong started rambling, ¡°Well, anyway, since I have nothing to do at home and I have a few friends in Ping An County, it¡¯s time for me to go and visit you both. After you two got together, Chen Hao hasn''t invited us to dinner yet. Ahem, to be honest, I can¡¯t believe that Chen Hao has be your boyfriend. This is like ''Beauty and the Beast''¡­¡± After she heard Zhao Tongtong said that, Qin Ya became nervous and she quickly turned off speaker mode. She even nced carefully at Chen Hao, who waspletely dumbfounded. Chen Hao was indeed dumbfounded. Since when did I be Qin Ya¡¯s boyfriend? What has she told her friends? A few momentster, Qin Ya came back from the phone call. She looked at Chen Hao and apologized, ¡°Chen Hao, they knew that I¡¯vee to look for you. I am afraid that they might have misunderstood the situation, so I told them that you are my boyfriend. You don¡¯t mind, right? ¡± Chen Hao shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s ok!¡± What else could he say? ¡°Oh ya, Chen Hao, Tongtong said thatter, she would drive to Ping An County to pay us a visit. She has a rtive here, so let¡¯s go out and have fun together!¡± Qin Ya pleaded, ¡°I¡¯m scared that if you don¡¯t go, she will suspect our rtionship!¡± ¡°Ok! I will go then!¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t reject her since he had promised that he would help her. It was almost noon when Zhao Tongtong arrived with her cousin in a car. Her cousin was also from Jin Ling, and she looked like a high school student. Zhao Tongtong looked quite domineering in her Camry. The first thing Zhao Tongtong said when she met Chen Hao was, ¡°Hmph, Chen Hao, I never thought that a little loser like you could be our goddess Qin Ya¡¯s boyfriend, you must beughing in your dream!¡± ¡°Ya, that¡¯s right!¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Har? Tongtong, he is Qin Ya¡¯s boyfriend? Oh my god, how could that be possible? ¡± Her cousin touched her own forehead in surprise as she felt she was going to faint in shock. Seriously, whoever knew Qin Ya would know that Qin Ya was definitely a beauty among beauties and a goddess among goddesses. They never thought that she would find a boyfriend like Chen Hao. It seemed like Zhao Tongtong and her cousin had a simr personality. They both pucked their lips and looked at Chen Hao in disdain. Chen Hao cursed in his heart, F*ck! What¡¯s with the look?! At this moment, Qin Ya cut off Zhao Tongtong and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough. By the way, Tongtong, didn''t you say that you still have several distant rtives in Ping An County, aren''t theying?¡± She intimately held on to Chen Hao¡¯s arm and rolled her eyes at him. It was like she was telling Chen Hao, Hmph, you see, they are shocked that I am with a guy like you. And you still don''t know how to cherish it! ¡°Oh! Of course, they areing. I had called them and they asked where we are going to have our lunch. Chen Hao, where shall we eat at noon?¡± Zhao Tongtong asked directly. Zhao Tongtong acted as if Chen Hao was an enemy and had done her wrong for being Qin Ya¡¯s boyfriend. It was true that Zhao Tongtong looked down on Chen Hao. After all, she was from the city and Chen Hao was from the vige. Moreover, normally it was ok to just flirt and just y with an honest and poor guy like Chen Hao. However, Zhao Tongtong couldn¡¯t ept it if he did join her circle of friends. Chen Hao gave a bitterugh and said, ¡°Let me arrange a ce for lunch, there is a good restaurant in Ping An County called the Midu Restaurant. Let¡¯s go there then.¡± ¡°Hmph! Why didn''t you say earlier! Let¡¯s go in my car, Qin Ya¡± They then went to Midu restaurant in the county. It could be considered one of the high-ss restaurants in the county. Those who came here were usually rich people from the county. When they had arrived, Zhao Tongtong said mysteriously that she wanted to find a ce to park, and Qin Ya should apany her. She wanted Chen Hao to go and book a ce first. Chen Hao had the same thought. Chen Hao went inside the restaurant and booked a ce for eight. Of course, there was no private room in this restaurant as all the tables were inside a big dining hall. Just as he was done with his booking, suddenly someone shouted, ¡°Sh*t, isn¡¯t that Chen Hao?¡± ¡°It is him! Why is he eating in Midu?¡± A group of young men and women, who were eating, eximed in surprise when they saw Chen Hao. As for Chen Hao, he, too, heard someone say his name. Immediately, he turned his head and saw that there were about six to seven young men and women eating together. Those were no strangers; they were his middle school¡¯s ssmates¡ªLi Mingxue, Li Chao, and the rest. What a coincidence! Chen Hao gasped in his heart... Chapter 216 Hey Gorgeous, Can I Add You on WeChat? Chapter 216 Hey Gorgeous, Can I Add You on WeChat? ¡°Chen Hao, you came here to eat?¡± Li Mingxue stared at Chen Hao and asked, seemingly surprised. Weren¡¯t these bunch of people Li Mingxue and her boyfriend as well as Li Chao and the others? Right then, all of them were smiling at Chen Hao. Truth be told, Midu Restaurant was a high-end restaurant. Moreover, they charge their customers per head. It cost a minimum of 188 to dine here. Adding beverages and other fees, eating here could cost up to a few thousand dors. That was why they were curious since everyone knew Chen Hao was quite poor. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Yeah, a few of my friends came to visit so I had to treat them! What a coincidence meeting you guys here too!¡± Chen Hao answered with a smile. ¡°Pssh! It¡¯s normal for us to dine here alright?!¡± ¡°Sigh, you keep talking about treating your friends; but do you know that the minimum cost here is 188? I can¡¯t believe you even have the audacity to treat them here!¡± A girl who sat next to Li Mingxue couldn¡¯t help but ridicule him. This girl¡¯s name was Su Li, she wasn¡¯t too bad to look at, and was also Chen Hao¡¯s ssmate from high school. Exactly, with this restaurant¡¯s standards, only people like them with certain statuses in society dined here. There wasn¡¯t much to feel superior over. However, the thought of poor losers like Chen Hao dining here made her feel ufortable. Someone like Chen Hao should just eat at some dumpling shop or fast food restaurant. Hence she felt embarrassed. If it was like this, doesn¡¯t it mean that Chen Hao is on par with us? Hence, this exined why she replied rudely to him. ¡°Come on Su Li! Don¡¯t talk to Chen Hao like this, you¡¯ll embarrass him! Chen Hao can eat here if he wants to. This is a perfect opportunity for him to introduce us to his friends! Haha!¡± Li Chaomented wryly. Among all these people, he was the most sessful in terms of family background and career. This made him the backbone of the group. Su Liughed. ¡°Tsk, Li Chao, what kind of friends does Chen Hao even have? Do you even dare to be acquainted with them?¡± ¡°Moreover, what I said was for his own good! Can¡¯t he look at himself? Casuallying here to eat? Is his image that important to uphold? Ugh, I really look down on people that try hard to show off even when they can¡¯t afford to do so!¡± Ever since high school, Su Li had always looked down on Chen Hao. She felt disgusted that a poor loser was always hanging around her. This exined why she had never taken Chen Hao¡¯s feelings into consideration. Moreover, the fact that Chen Hao was able to eat in the same restaurant as her made her feel as if someone had stepped on her dignity. ¡°It¡¯s okay, guys. Stop bickering, Chen Hao¡¯s friends will be reaching in no time!¡± Li Mingxue couldn¡¯t stand them anymore and said. Chen Hao nodded at her and gave her a small smile of gratitude. ¡°Li Chao, who is this guy? Was he your high school ssmate?¡± Suddenly, a well-dressed girl sitting next to Li Chao asked curiously. ¡°Yeah. haha! Does he look hot? If you think he looks hot, go ahead and be his girlfriend! He¡¯s still single, you know!¡± Li Chao burst intoughter. ¡°Hey! That was so mean! If you continue to act in such a way, I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore!¡± The girl pinched Li Chao angrily. The group started cackling. Chen Hao remained silent and nodded along. ¡°Hey, look! Chen Hao is actually blushing right now! I knew it, he must have wanted her to be his girlfriend! If it weren¡¯t so, why would he be embarrassed? Haha!¡± another guy teased. ¡°Hey Chen Hao! If you really like her, she can be your girlfriend for real! What I said counts!¡± Li Chaoughed boisterously. ¡°That¡¯s fine, I already have a girlfriend!¡± Chen Hao smiled wryly. Although he knew that these bunch of people always bullied him around for augh¡ªit had been like this ever since high school¡ªChen Hao didn¡¯t want to say much. It wasn¡¯t like he wanted to humiliate them and reveal that he was actually f*cking rich. Haha! How would they react if that actually happened?! ¡°Oh my God! Chen Hao has a girlfriend?! What the f*ck, this is big news! We must tell everyone about this during the uing high school reunion! This is going to be some explosive news!¡± a guy ¡°Damn! I wonder what kind of girl will fall in love with him? My God, maybe a dinosaur?!¡± Su Li sipped her juice and shook her head, seemingly speechless. This made the bunch burst into fits ofughter again. Li Mingxue felt bad when she nced at Chen Hao. She smiled and said, ¡°Chen Hao, I was promoted from a trainee to the management department! So, I decided to treat Li Chao and the others. How many friends of yours areing? Why don¡¯t you guys join us?¡± ¡°Nah, I have around seven or eight friendsing! It¡¯s okay!¡± Chen Hao smiled. It looked like Li Mingxue¡¯s case was resolved atst. He still remembered mentioning it to Li Zhenguo. However, Li Zhenguo hadn¡¯t given him any feedback. I guess he thought that it was a small matter. Hence, Chen Hao didn¡¯t know if it was resolved because of him or Li Chao. Not knowing what to say, he nodded and sat at the table next to theirs. To be honest, Chen Hao felt awkward. However, this restaurant¡¯s business was too good. There weren¡¯t any empty seats left by the corner; even if there were, Chen Hao was too embarrassed to change seats by now. Moreover, it wouldn¡¯t be good to just leave! In short, everything was just too awkward. Right at this moment, Qin Ya came in with Tongtong and the others. Following suit was her cousin. Other than that, there were also two guys and two girls¡ªprobably also Zhao Tongtong¡¯s distant cousins. ¡°Oh my God! Oh my Goodness! Look at those beautiful girls!¡± This time, Li Chao and the other guys saw Qin Ya and Zhao Tongtong entering. Most of them were stunned right then. They were too beautiful! ¡°Who are they? They look so pretty! It is as if they are goddesses!¡± ¡°Hmph! So what if they look pretty? They¡¯re just tall and charismatic! Hmph!¡± Su Li mumbled in jealousy when she saw Qin Ya and Zhao Tongtong; they looked so gorgeous, just like celebrities! The girl in heavy makeup sitting next to Li Chao was even more self-conscious. Compared to those two girls, she looked just like a clown! ¡°Does any of you dare to ask them for their WeChat? If anyone dares to do so, I¡¯d call him my dad!¡± The guy who proposed was close to drooling. Then, all of them looked toward Li Chao. After all, among all of them, Li Chao was the one with the best family background¡ªhe had the most advantage! Li Chao wasn¡¯t nning to let his chances go too. He stood up to clear his throat and straightened his outfit. ¡°Hang on, I want to follow along!¡± ¡°Damn it, Li Chao is the best!¡± ¡°Best of luck, Li Chao!¡± However, Li Chao was already heading toward the girls. ¡°Hey gorgeous! Are you guys here to eat too? Have you guys found your seats yet? Do you guys need my help? I¡¯m quite familiar with this ce!¡± Li Chao too, couldn¡¯t help buzzing in excitement when he talked to the two beautiful girls. ¡°Thank you for your offer but we won''t be needing your help!¡± Faced with his tant attempt to hit them up, Qin Ya and Zhao Tongtong replied curtly. They were disgusted. ¡°H-hey, do you guys mind if we add each other on WeChat? My name is Li Chao, I¡¯m from¡ª¡± Li Chao proceeded to take out his phone. ¡°He¡¯s there! Let¡¯s go!¡± Finally, Zhao Tongtong spotted Chen Hao from afar. She ignored Li Chao¡¯s request and ushered them toward Chen Hao¡¯s direction... Chapter 217 The Highest Standard Chapter 217 The Highest Standard ¡°Hmph! Do you not know to wait for us at the entrance after you found a table for us?¡± Zhao Tongtongined after reaching Chen Hao¡¯s seat with Qin Ya. Chen Hao lowered his phone and smiled lightly. He was busy looking through the investment reports from Ping An County that Li Zhenguo just sent him. Su Li and the others seated at the table next to Chen Hao¡¯s were dumbfounded. ¡°Wait, what? Those were actually Chen Hao¡¯s friends?¡± Their facial expressions changed to embarrassment, especially Li Chao, who was still standing at the side, holding his phone. These people didn''t even acknowledge him just now. He couldn¡¯t believe that Chen Hao was so close to them. Li Chao still felt humiliated by the incident just now. ¡°Hm? Chen Hao, do you happen to know those people at the table next to us? When Qin Ya arrived, she naturally sat next to Chen Hao. However, looking at the people at the table next to theirs staring at Chen Hao in shock, she inquired curiously. ¡°Haha, Chen Hao, aren¡¯t you going to introduce your friends to us? You made me embarrass myself when they ignored me while I was trying to strike up a conversation!¡± Li Chao forced a smile as he walked over. He suddenly thought, Would it be that Chen Hao avoided acknowledging them on purpose so that he would humiliate himself? He masked his resentment and added, ¡°Hey, pretty girls! Nice meeting all of you, we are all Chen Hao¡¯s friends from high school! What a coincidence to be able to sit with you guys! Haha! Chen Hao, you¡¯re in the wrong here. Why have you not ordered yet? Do you want them to starve? Don¡¯t you feel sorry?¡± Li Chao sat over at Chen Hao¡¯s table, trying to rebuild their impressions toward him. It was obvious that he was trying to act as a mediator in order to show off in front of the beautiful girls. ¡°Yeah! They are my high school ssmates. What a coincidence!¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly. ¡°Isn¡¯t that great? You get to introduce your ssmates to me! As your girlfriend, it isn¡¯t a good thing if I don''t even know your high school ssmates!¡± Qin Ya eximed cheerfully. Her thoughts were simple. She felt that Chen Hao¡¯s ssmates should be her considered her friends too. Although her rtionship with Chen Hao was fake, she still treated it as if it was real. However, what Qin Ya said left them dumbfounded again. Wait, what? This gorgeous girl is actually Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend? The guys¡¯ eyes red with jealousy. Most of them were entrepreneurs¡ªthey had insurance and retirement benefits, as well as cars and houses. What about Chen Hao? He was just a poor loser. Moreover, many of them were still single. It was unbelievable that Chen Haonded himself such a beautiful girlfriend. Who wouldn¡¯t be jealous of Chen Hao? Especially Li Chao¡ªhis face almost turned green with envy. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend? Nice to meet you, my name is Li Chao. My parents are from the Public Health Bureau and I¡¯m working for the hospital now.¡± Li Chao extended his hand for Qin Ya to shake. He alsoid out all his cards to show his superiority. Adjusting his sleeves by shaking his wrist a little, a watch that cost around 9000 was shown on his wrist. However, to Qin Ya, he sounded stupid. It¡¯s just an introduction, so does he really have to bring his parents into it? He seemed strange to her, so she did not shake his hand. However, Chen Hao shook hands with Li Chao instead; he was worried that Li Chao would feel even more humiliated. ¡°Haha, I can¡¯t believe it! In high school, Chen Hao was notorious for being a poor loser, always disliked by others no matter where he went! It is such a surprise that he can get someone so pretty as his girlfriend!¡± Li Chao continued on. At the same time, he gave the guys next to him a look. One of the guys caught on immediately. He pped the table and said, ¡°Yeah, Chen Hao is such a lucky man! Do you guys remember? There was once when Chen Hao did not have enough money to pay for his fees. When he still needed around 6 bucks? Oh my God, he was kicked out by our teacher! Haha! It was also raining heavily that day!¡± Su Li also added snarkily, ¡°Of course I do! Chen Hao went to collect used bottles under the rain that day. Then he sold them to get the additional 6 bucks to pay for his fees, haha! Back then, no one in the ss bothered helping him. How unexpected, he is different from back then. Now, he can even afford treating his friends at Midu restaurant. He also has a beautiful girlfriend. How awesome!¡± Everyone¡¯sments were dripping with sarcasm. They exposed things Chen Hao would rather not mention from the past. It was obvious that these stories were meant for Qin Ya and the others. Unsurprisingly, Zhao Tongtong¡¯s cousin, as well Tongtong¡¯s friends looked at Chen Hao disdainfully. What kind of person is this? ¡°It¡¯s fine, Chen Hao. However, since this is your girlfriend¡¯s first meal in Ping An County, you should at least get them the standard 388 meal right?¡± one of the guys chided. Li Chao frowned, ¡°What are you even talking about? Are you saying that these two beautiful girls are worth 388 only? Chen Hao, you better feel sorry if you don¡¯t order the highest standard meal worth 688 for these two beautiful girls!¡± ¡°But, don¡¯t you worry, Chen Hao. If you don¡¯t have enough money with you, I could always lend you some! Then, you won¡¯t be embarrassed!¡± Right then, a waiter came over to take their orders. ¡°Sir, may I know which meal you would like to order?¡± Everyone from the two tables stared at Chen Hao. ¡°Get me the highest standard 688 meal sets then!¡± In fact, Chen Hao had wanted to get the 688 set meals in the first ce anyways. ¡°Pssh!¡± Li Chao and the others broke intoughter. They thought, This idiot, 688 set meals plus beverages will total up to around 6000! Zhao Tongtong and the others were speechless too. Is Chen Hao stupid? It was obvious that those people were doing it on purpose because they had bad intentions! Can¡¯t believe that he fell right into it! Seriously! Zhao Tongtong knew that Chen Hao wasn¡¯t well-off financially. So, she had already discussed with Qin Ya; they weren¡¯t really going to make Chen Hao pay for this meal by himself. However, Chen Hao stupidly went on to order the most expensive meal set! God! I¡¯m so annoyed! ¡°Excuse me? We are fine with cheaper options, just the normal standard meal would be fine!¡± Qin Ya tried to change the order. ¡°It''s fine, just get us the 688 option. Go!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to say anymore. The taunts from Li Chao and the others made him feel as if his brain was going to explode. ¡°Hmph! Just let him be. We shall see how it goes when he payster,¡± Tongtong¡¯s cousin proimed coldly. Just like that, everyone¡¯s highest standard set meals were served. However, everyone on Li Chao¡¯s table deliberately ate slower. When Chen Hao and the others were done and wanted to pay, they also decided to pay. ¡°Yo, Mister Chao! You guys finished so fast?¡± The cashier greeted Li Chao immediately when she saw him. Li Chao shed his watch again. Then he pointed at Li Mingxue and said, ¡°Hey, this is my best friend, you should give us a discount!¡± ¡°No problem, Mister Chao! I will give you a 30% discount on your total bill. Besides, we will also give you a tea set that is worth around 100 since our restaurant is having a promotion!¡± The cashier who was obviously older than Li Chao added politely. ¡°Damn! It feels so good going out with Li Chao!¡± One of the guys started ttering him. Li Mingxue finally finished paying the bill. However, Li Chao refused to leave and stared at Chen Hao who was waiting for his turn to pay. ¡°Mister Chao, is this your friend too?¡± The cashier could see that they knew each other. If that was the case, she should give him the same treatment too. However, Li Chao acted as if he couldn¡¯t hear the cashier and nced at his watch instead. The cashier immediately caught on. ¡°Hello, sir. Your bill totals up to 5911, would you like to pay by card or by cash?¡± the cashier monotonously greeted. ¡°Why don¡¯t you give us a discount of 11 bucks?¡± Chen Hao asked, smiling. It was fine if Li Chao wanted to act like he didn''t know him. It was just a meal anyways, there¡¯s no need to take this so seriously. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. All prices in our restaurant are fixed. A discount of 1 buck is impossible, let alone 11 bucks,¡± the cashier held her cheek with one hand and said, bored. From the counter, she could see everything clearly. It was obvious that Li Chao provoked this man to Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. order the high standard set meals. Moreover, judging from his looks, he must be poor. Hence, she couldn¡¯t help but look down on him too. ¡°Hey! How could you give them a 30% discount of the bill but refuse even to give us a discount of 1 buck?¡± Qin Ya was furious at how everyone bullied Chen Hao. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Qin Ya. Let¡¯s just leave after settling the bills!¡± Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°Hmph! You could at least give us a tea set too, right? After all, we spent around 6000 too!¡± Qin Ya said coldly. ¡°We could. However, I¡¯m sorry to inform you that our restaurant has a limit of 50 tea sets per day only. Just now, Mr. Li Chao had redeemed thest set. How about you guys dine here again tomorrow? I will make sure to keep one set for you!¡± The cashier grinned a little. Indeed, instead of dealing with one-off customers like this, it is better to maintain a good rtionship with customers like Young Master Li. Moreover, her sister was still studying in a nursing school. She wasn¡¯t stupid. If she did it right, her sister would have a great career in the future! ¡°Hey! Give me the bill!¡± Suddenly, a harsh voice rang out. A young man walked right up to the counter and mmed his hand on the table. Upon seeing this young man, the cashier, Li Chao as well as his friends¡¯ facial expression changed immediately... Chapter 218 Su Tongxin’s Phone Call Chapter 218 Su Tongxin¡¯s Phone Call ¡°Young Master Liu¡­¡± Li Chao could not help but murmur. A while ago he was showing off the watch on his hand and acting all high and mighty. However, now he immediately stood up with his back straight like a naughty student that suddenly saw his teacher. ¡°Li Chao, which Young Master Liu are you talking about?¡± Just then, the girl next to Li Chao curiously asked. ¡°Who else could it be? He is Liu Li, from the Liu Family mining business of Ping An County. He is the true son of a wealthy tycoon.¡± ¡°So that''s him!¡± ¡°I did not expect him to be rather handsome in person!¡± At this moment, Li Mingxue, Su Li and a few other girls stared in admiration at Young Master Liu Li who had be the centre of their attention. The other guys also dared not breathe too loudly, let alone the cashier. She quickly stood up straight and tried her best to force out her most professional smile. There were four to five people with Liu Li. They walked in proudly and did not even nce at Chen Hao and his friends. They skipped the queue and walked directly to the counter. ¡°Get me the bill!¡± Liu Li coldly said. ¡°Alright, Young Master Liu. Your total is 7888. You will be given a 70% discount, Young Master Liu!¡± the cashier said while smiling. Not only that, she also did not forget to disy her cleavage while speaking. Who knew if her good looks could capture the attention of Young Master Liu? ¡°Haha, do I look like I need a discount? Checkout with the original price!¡± Upon saying that, Liu Li threw a stack of cash onto the counter. ¡°Yes, Young Master Liu. May I know what kind of free gift you want? We will give you one as well!¡± the cashier respectfully said. ¡°Enough nonsense! Hurry up and get me the receipt!¡± ¡°Damn! So this is Young Master Liu? He is so domineering!¡± The girl next to Li Chao was deeply attracted. Even Li Mingxue and Su Li could not help but stare in admiration. They sighed. If only I could have a boyfriend that was so domineering as well. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, shouldn''t you all line up and queue behind us? We were here first and we are still waiting for our bill. Why do you have the privilege of skipping the queue and checking out first!¡± Zhao Tongtong was already pissed at Chen Hao and Chen Hao¡¯s high school ssmates. As such, she could no longer suppress her anger and bursted out upon seeing that someone had cut in front of her. ¡°Exactly, man. Firste first serve. Look, I have been here for such a long time!¡± Chen Hao did not expect to bump into Liu Li here. He could tell that the wounds on Liu Li¡¯s face were still there. After all, Liu Li was beaten up pretty badly that day. However, only one or two days had passed and he dared to resume partying and drinking again. He gave a bitter smile. The cashier snorted. ¡°Shut up, who do you think you are? Young Master Liu is here so move aside and wait!¡± The cashier''s bad temper also surfaced. She rolled her eyes at Chen Hao. ¡°Damn, such a stupid person. Does he not know who Young Master Liu is? Furthermore, it¡¯s obvious that Young Master Liu is not in a good mood. This Chen Hao, is he trying to piss him off further!¡± Li Chao sneered and watched on from the side. Chen Hao on the other hand, was furious that the cashier mocked him and yet Liu Li stood there as if he did not hear what Chen Hao said. Therefore, Chen Hao lifted up his foot and kicked hard at Liu Li¡¯s buttock. With a loud bang, Liu Li fell on the floor. Liu Li howled in pain. The wounds on his body ached again. ¡°F*ck! Do you want to die?¡± Liu Li hit his hand hard on the counter. Li Chao and the others were all dumbfounded. Chen Hao actually dared to hit Young Master Liu? Just as Li Chao thought that Chen Hao was going to be beaten up and sent to the hospital, things took a different turn. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Instead, Liu Li who was about toy his hands on Chen Hao stopped with his fists frozen in mid-air. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Liu Li was stunned. Isn''t this person in front of me Chen Hao, Young Master Chen, who ordered his henchmen to beat me up in the KTV two days ago? Not only that, the group of people that beat me up were very skilled. They threw and smashed multiple things at Liu Li which damaged him badly but there were barely any physical wounds on him. Furthermore, that was not the end of the story. Later that night, his father was also brought out for a talk by a group of people. Just as Liu Li thought that his father would seek revenge, his father actually came back hopping and leaping in excitement like an obedient boy. His father even said that it was worth getting beaten up. Not only that, his father informed him that it was not any other person that beat him up. In fact, Chen Hao was Young Master Chen of Jin Ling City, the heir to an extremely wealthy family who kept a very low profile. Liu Li gasped upon hearing that. He had almost gotten himself into deep trouble. However, he also thought that despite being beaten up it was worth it as his family business got a small portion of the investment. Thus, the exact moment he saw Chen Hao, he was astonished, excited yet afraid at the same time. ¡°Chen Hao, you are also here for a meal?¡± Liu Li grinned while holding his buttocks. Li Chao and the others looking on were bewildered. What? Liu Li actually knows Chen Hao and the way he addressed Chen Hao was as if they are pretty close? How could that be possible! ¡°Yes, if I had not chosen to dine here, how could I have bumped into you cutting queues?¡± Chen Hao casually smiled. I must have been too kind and not harsh enough with my beating that day. ¡°Oh no! It was mainly due to the fact that my father invested a certain amount in this shop so I was used to it, haha! Don''t worry, I will treat you this time around! Every time you drop by to eat here, it will all be free. I will settle all your bills!¡± Liu Li said while rubbing his palms together. ¡°Forget it. This cashier refused to give me any discounts or any promotional gifts. I guess this would be thest time Ie to visit this shop!¡± Chen Hao smiled and said. ¡°What? Alright, Chen Hao, give me a minute!¡± Liu Li red fiercely at the cashier who was already dumbfounded. Liu Li clearly understood that this cashier offended Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Liu, he is your friend?¡± The cashier finally realized her mistake and got scared. Why did I agree to Li Chao¡¯s demand and made things difficult for Chen Hao? It was because Li Chao¡¯s family had connections within the Public Health Bureau. Furthermore, Chen Hao looked like a poor loser thus the cashier did not think twice as well. Yet, ironically this loser actually knew Young Master Liu! A loud p could be heard as Liu Li lifted his hand and gave a hard p on the cashier¡¯s face. He scolded, ¡°How dare you act snobbishly toward a customer? Brother Chen came here for a meal, is he not a customer? You dare to bully him? Go and submit your resignation letter to your manager!¡± ¡°Y-Yes!¡± The cashier covered her face that had turned red and red at Li Chao. Li Chao panicked and hurriedly left the shop right away as if he was just a passerby. Li Chao gritted his teeth and regretted his actions deeply. However, he could only swallow those regrets. Chen Hao on the other hand only spoke to Liu Li as a formality and left soon after with Qin Ya and the others. After all, Liu Li was just a good-for-nothing wealthy descendant and was not a good person as well. Chen Hao had no intentions of getting too close to him. After Chen Hao and his group left, Li Chao and the others were still staring on from afar. Li Chao and the others wanted to watch Chen Hao be humiliated yet they were the ones that were humiliated. Especially Li Chao whose expression was extremely sour. ¡°Chen Hao actually knew Liu Li!¡± Su Li was in shock and her impression of Chen Hao immediately changed. Li Chao snorted. ¡°Liu Li was just being polite. Didn''t you all see that Chen Hao eventually paid for everything himself? It was just a matter of showing respect. Why would someone of Young Master Liu¡¯s calibre look up to someone like Chen Hao!¡± Li Chao was extremely jealous. Chen Hao on the other hand managed toe up with excuses to brush off the incident with Liu Li. The group of them then returned back to the hotel. ¡°Damn! Chen Hao actually stays in such a fancy hotel?¡± Zhao Tongtong and the rest of them had not entered the hotel before this. Thus, when they realized that Chen Hao actually stayed here, her younger cousin was immediately shocked. Furthermore, Chen Hao had spent so much on treating them to a meal just now. He also knew a lot of people which surprised Zhao Tongtong¡¯s distant rtives. At first, there were a few guys that nned on courting Qin Ya. However, they were not evenparable to Chen Hao! Chen Hao casually ced his phone down and left to wash some fruits for them. ¡°Oh my, Tongtong, take a look at Chen Hao¡¯s phone!¡± Her younger cousin picked up Chen Hao¡¯s phone from the coffee table in surprise. Zhao Tongtong was also shocked. Oh sh*t! This phone costs around twenty thousand. Chen Hao uses this phone? Just then, Chen Hao¡¯s phone suddenly rang. ¡°Beloved Su Tongxin? Who is she?¡± Chen Hao¡¯s younger cousin saw the contact name and was stunned. Chapter 219 Clearing the Misunderstandings Chapter 219 Clearing the Misunderstandings Her younger cousin snorted and said, ¡°Beloved Su Tongxin? Shouldn''t the person he love the most be Qin Ya? I have to find out who she is!¡± Her younger cousin picked up the phone right away. Before Qin Ya who was next to her could react, she had already started speaking. ¡°What do you want? Who are you?¡± she said. ¡°What? What? You are Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend? What nonsense is that?¡± Her younger cousin was immediately stunned and she looked at Qin Ya while saying, ¡°Qin Ya, this girl says that she is Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend!¡± ¡°Ling Fei, that''s enough! Hurry up and give the phone to me!¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Qin Ya snatched over the phone and without a word she hung up the phone. Of course Qin Ya knew who Su Tongxin was. She was Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend, the one he was in a long distance rtionship with. Qin Ya was also rather curious about her. However, it was inappropriate to say anything in the current situation. ¡°Ling Fei, what did the girl on the phone say?¡± Zhao Tongtong frowned and asked. Ling Fei snorted and said, ¡°I asked who she was and she told me she is Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend. She even asked me about Chen Hao¡¯s whereabouts!¡± Ling Fei blurted out like it was a huge secret that she discovered. ¡°So Qin Ya, do you know this girl?¡± Zhao Tongtong asked. My goodness, this Chen Hao is too much! It is already a huge deal that he managed to get someone like Qin Ya who is way out of his league as his girlfriend. Yet, he still chose to be disloyal and get together with other girls! ¡°What are you all talking about? Here, have some fruits!¡± Just then, Chen Hao walked over with the fruits. Zhao Tongtong snorted and said, ¡°Fruits? Who cares about that? Chen Hao you better exin clearly who this Su Tongxin is!¡± Zhao Tongtong snatched over the phone from her younger cousin and stared angrily at Chen Hao. Chen Hao was speechless and had no idea how to exin. After all, she was his girlfriend. ¡°I had no idea you were such an a*shole! Qin Ya must be blind!¡± scolded Ling Fei. ¡°Alright, stop reprimanding him. I do know about this. Sigh, let me tell you all the truth. I am actually not in a rtionship with Chen Hao!¡± Qin Ya knew that there was no way she could continue keeping this a secret so she decided to tell the truth. ¡°What? You both are not in a rtionship? Damn! Then why did you stay with him in the same house?¡± Zhao Tongtong was shocked. ¡°Ah, I had to do that in order to avoid suspicion. Thus, I requested for Chen Hao to cooperate with me and trick my father. Otherwise, my father would definitely continue to pressure me!¡± Qin Ya decided to tell the truth and exined everything. ¡°Sigh. That gave me such a shock. I really thought that you were dating Chen Hao. Like I said, that was impossible! After all, I had only managed to see his true colors today. Since he has a girlfriend, why did he treat you so well and give you such an expensive gift?¡± Zhong Tongtong stared coldly at Chen Hao. If there was amon simrity among girls, it would be that they all hated guys who were disloyal. At this moment, it was obvious that Chen Hao was grouped in that category. ¡°Alright, Tongtong, didn''t your mother call you and ask you to return home? You just have to help me keep this secret. It has nothing to do with Chen Hao!¡± Qin Ya tried to convince Zhao Tongtong and at the very least got her and the rest of the group to leave. Chen Hao and Qin Ya were the only people left in the room. Chen Hao also immediately tried to clear up the misunderstanding with Su Tongxin. After some time and a lot of exnation, Su Tongxin¡¯s anger subsided. After all, Chen Hao had not expected that mad girl Ling Fei would actually pick up the phone. That was how the awkward situation transpired. ¡°Chen Hao, take a seat as I have something to ask you!¡± Qin Ya said that and stared at Chen Hao with a strange smile. ¡°Sure, go ahead!¡± Qin Ya asked, ¡°Do you really love Su Tongxin?¡± Chen Hao answered, ¡°Yes, yes! Of course!¡± Qin Ya then took a deep breath and said, ¡°If that is the case, why did you give me such a valuable present back then? Do you have any idea that when I knew that was the most valuable object from your household, I was already touched by you?¡± ¡°I had not been in a rtionship before. Although there were many guys that gave me expensive presents but within my heart, the presents they gave were different from yours. Yours had a different meaning and in my heart, you were also different from other guys.¡± Qin Ya had the intention of courting Chen Hao and seeing how things would turn out. She had no idea why but after some time she actually fell in love with Chen Hao. She had always thought that his long distance girlfriend was of no threat to her. However, by now, Qin Ya could also tell that Chen Hao really cared about the girl. Chen Hao on the other hand also felt guilty and apologetic. After all, everybody clearly knew that the bracelet was not Chen Hao¡¯s most valuable present. It was just that he had no choice but to provide a random lie to cover up his identity. He did not want his identity to be exposed in school. That was because Chen Hao felt that no matter what, he would always be a loser in Zhao Tongtong and Qin Ya¡¯s eyes. How could they possibly look up to me? Furthermore, Chen Hao also believed that after that incident, they would no longer be in contact with each other anymore. Who would have known that there were so manyplications after that incident. As such, as time went by, it also caused some misunderstandings. Chen Hao knew that he could not keep the secret hidden anymore because there was no point in hiding that from Qin Ya. Chen Hao took a deep breath and said, ¡°Actually Qin Ya, it¡¯s like this. I lied to you. The Cloud of Dragon Jade Bracelet that costs two hundred thousand was not like how Zhao Tongtong and the others had guessed. It was not my family heirloom but rather a bracelet I bought. As a matter of fact, I had not even nned on giving you that but rather return the same bracelet back to you! ¡°However, I took the wrong bracelet back then!¡± Chen Hao said that and returned to his room. He took out the two simr bracelets and ced it in front of Qin Ya in order to prove what he said was real. Qin Ya on the other hand, bit her lips lightly and gave a bitter smile. She nodded and said, ¡°Haha, I knew it. How could a guy be so foolish? Even if the guy loved the girl, he would not give her the most valuable thing from his household! Looks like I was right and I was overthinking!¡± Chen Hao lowered his head. However, it felt great that he had finally managed to clear things up. ¡°Alright then. Chen Hao, I shall not disturb you any further. I thought about it and realized that I am troubling you far too much if I continue staying here. After all, I cannot make my father too worried as well. Even though Li Yue has a lot of ws, at the very least it is proven that he treats me sincerely! Thus, I have decided I am going to return home!¡± Upon saying that, Qin Ya stood up and went to pack up her things. It looks like Qin Ya has decided to get engaged with Li Yue. Although it doesn''t feel right, what can I say? I already have Su Tongxin as my girlfriend. What right do I have to continue being tangled up with other girls? I should not be stopping her. As such, Chen Hao sent Qin Ya back. He also felt that this should be the end of everything. That way, he couldmit himself fully to the investments of Ping An County. On the same day, Chen Hao received a sudden phone call... Chapter 220 The High School Gathering Starts Chapter 220 The High School Gathering Starts The phone call was from Li Mingxue. The phone call was to inform Chen Hao about their high school gathering at noon. She reminded him about the asion and informed Chen Hao to head over earlier. Three days had passed since the meal at Midu Restaurant. Qin Ya had left for three days already. Li Mingxue informed him about the gathering yesterday. She said that after today, everyone would be heading toward their internships and jobs. As such, a gathering should be held when many of their ssmates were still avable to meet up. At first, Chen Hao had no intentions of going. However, he did not expect to bump into Li Mengxue and the rest. Yesterday, Chen Hao went to the opening ceremony of the investment firm he founded. Just as he was about to leave after cutting the ribbon, he bumped into them who hade to join in the celebration. Other than that, there was another high school ssmate present. She was Jiang Xueqing. Jiang Xueqing was their ss deputy monitor and was definitely one of the prettiest girls in ss. She had excellent academic results and like Li Shihan, she had always been rather close with Chen Hao who had ster academic results as well. Chen Hao heard that Jiang Xueqing had returned to Ping An County to further advance her career and she had managed tond a job with decent benefits. She saw Chen Hao and felt rather homely to see someone familiar thus she sincerely invited Chen Hao over. Chen Hao could not turn her down therefore he agreed to attend the gathering. Right after he hung up, Chen Hao saw a notification from his QQ. The message was sent by Jiang Xueqing. ¡°Hehe, Chen Hao, when are you nning to go?¡± Chen Hao knew that Jiang Xueqing¡¯s home was in Ping An County and was not far from the hotel that Chen Hao stayed in. Yesterday when they bumped into each other, Chen Hao had jokingly said that they should head over to the gathering together on the following day. Jiang Xueqing actually smiled and agreed. ¡°Give me a minute!¡± Chen Hao replied. ¡°Alright, take your time. I still have to spend about forty minutes washing my hair. See youter at the bus stop on Xiao Ping Street!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± In the past when Jiang Xueqing was the deputy monitor, she was the type of girl that was polite and quiet. She rarely spoke in ss. She was merely enthusiastic about learning and only enjoyed hanging out with ssmates who loved studying as well. As such, Jiang Xueqing disliked speaking to ssmates that were naughty and disobedient such as Li Chao who came from a powerful family background as well as Li Wenyang who was the wealthiest in ss. However, when Chen Hao bumped into her yesterday, he felt that she had undergone a huge change in her personality. She had be a lot more cheerful and mature. She was also very good at cracking jokes with others. Sigh! Maybe girls that went through the harshness of society would always undergo some changes. On a side note, it was important to know there was a period of time during the start of sophomore year when he was rather intimate with Jiang Xueqing. It was not that Chen Hao was exceptionally attractive! Rather, Chen Hao looked rather delicate and elegant back then. It was also mainly due to the fact that he was honest and had ster results. Coupled with the fact that he was a good listener to the girls, eventually some intimacy formed between them. However this intimacy with Jiang Xueqiang onlysted for a while and it disappeared not long after. By then, Chen Hao was done getting ready. Thus, he picked up his car keys and drove his G Wagon over to the bus stop on Xiao Ping Street. He drove that car because there was no longer any need for him to be low profile as he was no longer in college. Furthermore, Chen Hao did not drive such a luxurious car over to show off but instead he merely needed a vehicle. After all, Li Sihan and Chen Lin might also attend the gathering. Even though they had no idea about his actual identity, they had always thought that he was rich. So Chen Hao did not think too much about it. When he arrived, it was still half an hour earlier than the stipted meeting time. Thus, Chen Hao drove over and parked his car in a nearby parking lot. He went to a bubble tea shop and bought two cups of bubble tea. Then, he headed over to the bus stop and waited for Jiang Xueqing¡¯s arrival. ¡°Chen Hao? Just then, a girl standing next to the bus stop called out Chen Hao¡¯s name. Chen Hao turned his head around. He saw a girl intimately holding onto a guy¡¯s arm. Both of them were wearing sunsses and had rather fashionable outfits on. The girl looked beautiful as she had exquisite facial features and a nice figure. However, the guy on the other hand was a little short and plump. He also had a face filled with pimples. Yet, they looked rather affectionate towards each other. ¡°Chen Hao, it has only been a few years and you already don''t recognize me?¡± The girl removed her sunsses and said. ¡°Oh! You are Wang Rui!¡± Chen Hao managed to recognize her at first nce. At the same time, Chen Hao recognized her boyfriend as well once he took off his sunsses. He was Xin Heng, nicknamed Tycoon. He looked like a wealthy and rich tycoon and in fact he was rather rich in high school. However, truth be told that out of ten girls he courted in college, fifteen of them would reject him. Why was that so? Because half of the girls had to reject him twice! That was because he had too many scars on his face. Not only that, he had a rather serious fever when he was young which damaged his nerves. As such, he had a slower reactionpared to others. Anyway, back then their ssmates either bullied Chen Hao or bullied him. The both of them could be considered as brothers in hardship. Wang Rui on the other hand looked naturally beautiful. She was from the performing arts team and simr to Chen Lin, she was also atin dancer. In fact Wang Rui was even more charming than Chen Lin. Chen Hao vividly remembered that Wang Rui was a rather open minded person. There were many guys courting her and she had been in numerous rtionships as well. She either dated guys who were rich and popr in school or guys who were from the sports team that had an air akin to that of a celebrity. The rest of the guys she dated were gangsters and thugs that looked handsome with a bad boy look. On the weekends, there would be a few RSZ motorcycles that would block off the entrance of the school while waiting for her. All in all, it was very cool! Chen Hao had not expected that upon graduation from high school, she actually ended up being in a rtionship with Tycoon! Chen Hao¡¯s eyes popped out. ¡°What are you looking at? I did not expect you to turn up to this high school gathering! Come to think of it, we have not seen each other for a couple of years!¡± Wang Rui rolled her eyes at Chen Hao with her arms crossed. Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°Yes, we have not seen each other for a couple of years. The both of you got together?¡± Wang Rui snorted and said, ¡°So what if the both of us are together? You have no idea how much Tycoon loves me. Furthermore, he already owns a few stores in the county!¡± Wang Rui talked a lot, and he was unsure if she was bragging about it. Wang Rui crossed her arms and was even more ted when she saw that Chen Hao stayed silent without a word. She could tell that Chen Hao was a little shocked that she got together with Tycoon. Chen Hao was also a little jealous. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. It was not a matter of whether Chen Hao liked Wang Rui but rather how different their lives have turned out to be. Both Chen Hao and Tycoon were losers and yet Tycoon had such a beautiful girlfriend whereas Chen Hao remained a loser. Anyone would feel ufortable about the situation as well! Wang Rui enjoyed seeing Chen Hao¡¯s difort. Chen Hao gave a bitter smile and shook his head. He said, ¡°Let''s head over together when Jiang Xueqing gets here!¡± Wang Rui snorted and said, ¡°There is no way we are going to take the bus. We are waiting here for someone else. Yang Jian and the rest wille by and pick us up! Tycoon¡¯s hasn¡¯t gotten his license yet, or we¡¯d have bought a car long ago.¡± ¡°Alright then!¡± Chen Hao had no idea how else to reply to her. Thus, he ended up exchanging small talk with Tycoon and Wang Rui. As time went by, Chen Hao eventually heard a girl calling out his name. Chen Hao lifted his head and saw a girl by the roadside. A tall and slender girl with long curly red hair that draped over her shoulders. She was also holding up a small umbre. With her arrival, many other guys who were waiting for the bus at the bus stop shifted their gaze towards her. With her looks, figure and temperament, it was more than enough to capture the attention of all the guys in the vicinity. Many guys had their eyes glued to her and were checking her out. That girl was none other than Jiang Xueqing. Chapter 221 People Changed With Time Chapter 221 People Changed With Time ¡°Xueqing, you came too!¡± Wang Rui and the rest of them greeted Jiang Xueqing with a smile. ¡°Chen Hao, how long have you been waiting?¡± At this moment, Jiang Xueqing looked at Chen Hao and smiled. ¡°Not too long,¡± Chen Hao replied. Jiang Xueqing looked really pretty today. Indeed, she could make anybody¡¯s heart flutter at first nce. However, Chen Hao did not have any other thoughts apart from admiring her beauty. ¡°By the way, Xueqing, they were discussing in the group yesterday that you have found yourself a good job. How did you get into the Dreamer Investment Group? I heard that the registration fee alone cost 10 billion!¡± said Wang Rui with admiration. Originally, she had gotten into a rtionship with a tycoon whose family owned some shops, which granted her a typical well-to-do life now. It was certain that she would have a good life ahead of her with no worries. Therefore, Wang Rui was considered to be more superiorpared to the other students. However, she felt inferior when shepared herself to Jiang Xueqing. Everybody knew that Young Master Chen founded the Dreamer Investment Group, and it would spearhead the development of Ping An County in the future. Anybody who entered this group would be guaranteed an annual ie of one or two million. Hence, when the news broke out in the group, it instantly became a hot topic. Everybody knew that Ping An County would undergo a drastic change soon. ¡°I started my job not too long ago. However, I am not too sure about my future development in this currently is not the headquarters of the Dreamer Investment Group, but a smallpany under them. It is not as mysterious as they say it is,¡± said Jiang Xueqing with a bitter smile. ¡°That is still great as well. Don¡¯t be so humble, Xueqing,¡± said Wang Rui with a hint of jealousy. On the other hand, Chen Hao who was standing by the sides was surprised. It turned out that Jiang Xueqing worked in apany under the Dreamer Investment Group. Furthermore, who owned this group? Of course it was Chen Hao. It was no wonder that he bumped into Jiang Xueqing and the rest of them at therge square outside the venue yesterday after he finished officiating the ceremony and was preparing to leave on his bicycle. Many celebrities graced the celebration party yesterday, so naturally it was crowded. Since Jiang Xueqing was one of the employees of Dreamer Investment Company, she could bring along a few people to the party with her. Chen Hao could not help but think that this was such a coincidence. ¡°What a coincidence, let¡¯s go there togetherter!¡± Jiang Xueqing was talking about their gathering. Wang Rui said, ¡°It¡¯s ok Xueqing, you can sit in our carter. Somebody will pick us up soon.¡± Jiang Xueqing was about to say something when her phone rang. After answering the call, she looked embarrassed and walked to the sides. Then, she hung up the call after agreeing twice. ¡°Did your boyfriend call you?¡± Chen Hao looked at Jiang Xueqing¡¯s embarrassed face and couldn¡¯t help but ask her with a smile. ¡°What do you mean? I don¡¯t have a boyfriend yet. That was one of my friends.¡± Jiang Xueqing smiled awkwardly. On the other hand, Chen Hao took out his car keys and prepared to drive his car here to pick up Jiang Xueqing. At this moment, a brand new white-colored Audi A4L sped down the street toward them like a fierce tigering down the mountains. Suddenly, the car braked and stopped directly at the entrance of the station. The windows were wound down and a guy who was wearing sunsses poked his head out. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Xue Qing. All the students will be going thereter. Let¡¯s reach there before them,¡± said the guy to Jiang Xueqing. Of course, this car attracted the attention of the crowd who was waiting for the bus at the bus station. Sigh! Sure enough, beautiful girls tend to be picked up by rich Young Masters, thought some of the guys pettily. ¡°Li Wenyang! Yang, is that you? Is this your new car?¡± asked Wang Rui in delight as she recognized that guy. Li Wenyang was surprised when he saw that Wang Rui and the tycoon were there as well. And so, he came down from the car. With one hand in his pocket, he leaned against the car and smiled as he said, ¡°I got it half a month ago. Only now did I manage to get the hang of it after several months of practice.¡± Li Wenyang was also from Chen Hao¡¯s ss. Back in the days, there were only two guys in Chen Hao¡¯s ss who had power and money. One of them was Li Chao, whose family had connections with the Public Health Bureau, while the other rich guy was Li Wenyang. Li Wenyang and Li Chao often hung out, and would sometimes cause mischief in ss. Since both boys came from a rich background, they managed to get along well even after they graduated. What surprised Chen Hao was the fact that Jiang Xueqing and Li Wenyang¡¯s rtionship was actually quite bad back then. They even got into an argument a few times before this. However, their rtionship seemed to have improved since then. They chatted for a while before Wang Rui pointed at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Yang, why aren¡¯t you talking to Chen Hao? He is here as well.¡± Only then did Li Wenyang shift his gaze toward Chen Hao who was standing by the sides. ¡°God damn it! Rui, if you have not reminded me, I would not have recognized him. So, Chen Hao came as well!¡± Li Wenyang smiled casually. ¡°Hmph! Seriously Yang, how could you have forgotten about him? Back in high school, when you wanted to copy Chen Hao¡¯s homework and he refused, you picked up the stool and hit him all the way from the rostrum until the back of the ssroom. You were really vicious back then, and everyone was ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. scared out of their wits,¡± said Wang Rui with a smile. She didn¡¯t mean anything by it, but it made Chen Hao feel very embarrassed. Of course, Chen Hao remembered the scene vividly, to the point of being traumatized by Li Wenyang. Li Wenyang had always ridiculed him in front of everybody and beat him up from time to time. Hence, when Chen Hao heard his name, he would feel terrified to the bones. Furthermore, due to the beating he received, Jiang Xueqing and Li Shihan had gotten into an argument with Li Wenyang in order to help him. It was quite a serious argument. Jiang Xueqing, in particr, hit Li Wenyang¡¯s head with a textbook in order to avenge Chen Hao. In short, it was quite a nasty argument. Chen Hao onlyughed bitterly. Li Wenyang tried to change the topic of conversation. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not wait anymore. Let¡¯s go now. Just now when I gave Xueqing a call, I thought she was alone. However, since you all happened to be waiting for the bus together, why don¡¯t you guys hop into my car as well and we will go there together?¡± It seemed that the call that Jiang Xueqing received just now was from Li Wenyang. Chen Hao thought to himself that Jiang Xueqing might have been afraid that he would think too much about it, hence she went to answer the call in secret. He chuckled to himself as he thought that it wasn¡¯t necessary since he felt indifferent about the whole thing. They had nned to go there together originally. In the end however, not only did Jiang Xueqing ask him out, she had asked Li Wenyang as well. This made Chen Hao a little bit upset. ¡°Ok then, Chen Hao, let¡¯s sit in Wenyang¡¯s car together. Then, you won¡¯t have to take the bus anymore.¡± At this moment, Jiang Xueqing looked at Chen Hao and blushed. On the other hand, the tycoon and Wang Rui agreed to his suggestion wholeheartedly. How prestigious it was to be able to sit in an Audi?! Moreover, they could get closer to Young Master Yang. How nice would that be? ¡°I don¡¯t think that is possible. I am fetching one of our friendster, so if we count him in, then we would exceed the maximum number of people in a car,¡± said Li Wenyang with a bitter look on his face. At this moment, he had gotten into his car while Jiang Xueqing was already seated in the passenger seat. This made Jiang Xueqing feel even more embarrassed. ¡°Huh? Then, what should we do?¡± ¡°Chen Hao, why don¡¯t you hail a cab then? Besides, the cab fare is only about 10 bucks,¡± said Li Wenyang apologetically. ¡°What do you mean ¡®hail a cab¡¯? Aren¡¯t there some sharing bikes by the roadside? Chen Hao, you can just scan the code and cycle your way to your destination,¡± said Wang Rui. ¡°Hahaha, that is just too much!¡± Li Wenyang roared withughter. Then he said, ¡°Ok, Chen Hao, we will meet you at the restaurantter.¡± With that, Li Wenyang drove away. Jiang Xueqing wanted to say something to Chen Hao. However, the words were stuck in her throat, so she could only wind up the windows. Sigh! What could I say to him? After they left, many people at the bus station gave Chen Hao a pitiful nce, while some of them were snickering behind his back. This kid was obviously looked down upon by other people as shown by the situation just now. Sigh! He is really quite a pitiful person. Chen Hao ignored it and only smiled helplessly. Following that, he walked to the parking lot beside the bus station and drove his G Wagon out¡­ Chapter 222 Li Wenyang’s Domineering Attitude Chapter 222 Li Wenyang¡¯s Domineering Attitude By the time Chen Hao got to the private room after parking his car, most of the students had already arrived. More than twenty people were present here today. There was a mix of guys and girls, and it was a lively atmosphere. The tables that were reserved wererge as well. Most of the students had only given Chen Hao a simple greeting before proceeding to chat amongst themselves. After all, Chen Hao was only a poor loser in their eyes. Naturally, he would be looked down upon and ignored by everyone else. However, the thing that made Chen Hao surprised was that Chen Lin and Li Shihan did not show up at the gathering today. ¡°By the way, Wenyang, why didn¡¯t Chen Lin and Li Shihan show up today? Didn¡¯t they say they were Some of the students were as puzzled as Chen Hao, hence they asked Li Wenyang this question. Li Wenyang smiled and said, ¡°They won¡¯t being today. Haha, they aren¡¯t the same anymore as they are currently under the patronage of a big shot. Hence, they are considered to be the most capable ones amongst our ssmates. Sigh. I guess they won¡¯t be attending these kinds of small events anymore.¡± ¡°Huh? What the f*ck! Are you sure? Yang, please tell us more about it.¡± This piqued the curiosity of some students. At this moment, Jiang Xueqing, who was naturally seated beside Li Wenyang, asked him in bewilderment. ¡°Li Shihan had found herself a powerful boyfriend in Jin Ling. Do you all know about the Yunmeng Mountain Cultural and Tourism City from the inte?¡± asked Li Wenyang as he lit a cigarette. ¡°Of course we know that ce. F*ck! Who the hell doesn¡¯t know that Yunmeng Mountain would soon be a cultural and tourism city?¡± ¡°Haha, Li Shihan¡¯s boyfriend came from Yunmeng Vige. Currently, that ce has been demolished, and the residents have been relocated as they have demolished several houses there already. In addition to that, his family had set up several shops in themercial street of Yunmeng Mountain Cultural and Tourism City. In the future, the amount of money they earned would be limitless!¡± ¡°Oh my God! That¡¯s so cool!¡± Everybody was stunned when they heard Li Wenyang¡¯s words. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°Her boyfriend¡¯s name is Ding Hao, and he is quite famous in Jin Ling. Last month, I gave Shihan a call when I went for a sightseeing trip in Jin Ling. So, I have seen her boyfriend before, and we even had a meal together. Moreover, both of us have each other¡¯s WeChat number,¡± said Li Wenyang arrogantly. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned! Yang is really awesome!¡± ¡°Back in high school, Yang and Li Chao were the coolest people in our ss. Chao, take a look at Yang. He is already so awesome right now, you better buck up quickly!¡± Some of the girls casually ridiculed Li Chao who was sitting at the sides. This made Li Chao envious. If they were topare both of them side by side, he would indeede second to Li Wenyang. Especially now that Li Wenyang had gotten acquainted with so many people from Jin Ling, while he only had that few connections with the people in the Public Health Bureau. This made Li Chao restless. He was utterly humiliated. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t put it this way. Li Chao is quite powerful as well. You can look for Chao if any of your families or rtives are working in a healthcare-rted job in the hospital. Haha,e here Chao. You can take your position as the main guest of honor at this table.¡± Li Wenyang took a seat beside the main guest of honor, while Jiang Xueqing took a seat to the left as the second guest of honor. Naturally, the seat that was reserved for the main guest of honor was given to Li Chao. ¡°No way Yang, I think you are the best person to sit at the position as the main guest of honor. After all, you are the most powerful person here. Moreover, I have something to add here. Yang¡¯s family¡¯s guys with a smile as he looked toward Li Wenyang. With that kind of announcement, Li Wenyang felt pretty awesome. It was because everybody turned toward Li Wenyang with their eyes wide open when they heard that piece of news. ¡°Haha! This is my family¡¯spany, so it has nothing to do with me. Currently, I have started my own bitter smile. Another wave of respect and admiration came from the crowd. Meanwhile, Li Chao was ignored by everybody else. It was a depressing scene. At that moment, he smiled awkwardly. Suddenly, his gaze shifted toward Chen Hao who was seated near the entrance of the private room. He smirked and said, ¡°By the way, Yang, we shouldn¡¯t give this seat to anybody else other than Chen Hao.¡± When he saw that everybody wasparing him to Li Wenyang, Li Chao wasn¡¯t pleased at all. So, he immediately directed the topic of conversation toward Chen Hao. ¡°Pfft! What? You want Chen Hao to sit in that position?¡± Some of the studentsughed heartily. ¡°Hmph. Of course Chen Hao is the most suitable person to sit here. Maybe you guys don¡¯t know this but, Chen Hao is very close to Liu Li from Ping An County. We ran into each other two days ago during a meal and Liu Li paid the bill for Chen Hao straightaway,¡± said Li Chao with a smirk on his face. ¡°What? Chao, are you joking? How could he be acquainted with Young Master Liu?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Do you know the difference in status between Chen Hao and Young Master Liu?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask Mingxue. She had seen it with her own eyes.¡± Li Mingxue nodded her head. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned!¡± Everybody changed the way they looked at Chen Hao at this moment and that included Jiang Xueqing as well. She was looking at Chen Hao in surprise right now. At the same time, some people shifted their gazes toward Li Wenyang. After all, everybody knew that Li Wenyang had viciously beat Chen Hao up back in high school. Now that Li Wenyang knew that Chen Hao was a wealthy guy, and that he was acquainted with Liu Li who dealt with different kinds of people, be it the gangsters or the white-cored people, how would Li Wenyang react? However, he onlyughed bitterly with contempt. ¡°So what if he is acquainted with Liu Li? You guys may not know this but, Liu Li had been beaten up by someone in the KTV a few days ago. In addition to that, his father had been warned, and the majority of Liu''s Mining Group¡¯s shares had fallen into another person¡¯s hands. I can¡¯t believe that you guys still think so highly of Liu Li,¡± said Li Wenyang. Following that, he told everybody what had happened to Liu Li¡¯s family based on the rumors he heard. Only then did everybodye to their senses. ¡°I never expected that the honest-looking Chen Hao would try to curry favor with somebody like him,¡± said Li Wenyang at the moment while he looked toward Chen Hao and smiled. ¡°Chen Hao, did you know how I know all these things? Moreover, I am not afraid to tell everyone here that the person who did this to the Liu family was none other than the powerful figure from Jin Ling, Li Zhenguo. He managed to destroy them in one fell swoop. Haha, my father had a meal with Li Zhenguo¡¯s driver, Mr. Jin before. Mr. Jin told this to my father when he had too much to drink that day. I was apanying my father that time as well. Mr. Jin patted me on the shoulders and told me to work hard. Moreover, he even said that I could give him a call anytime should the need arise,¡± said Li Wenyang with a casual smile. Everybody was stunned. ¡°Li Zhenguo¡¯s driver? Yang, is your father really acquainted with General Manager Li¡¯s driver?¡± Everybody knew Li Zhenguo as he was a household name in Jin Ling. He was definitely a giant in the business world and a ruthless one at that. Of course, his driver was no less powerful as well. ¡°Yes, we even had a few meals with him. Jin is an intimidating person. Hence, let¡¯s gather more often in the future, and I will try my best to help you all out. If you guys don¡¯t believe me, here is a picture of me having a meal with Mr. Jin.¡± Li Wenyang took out his phone to show the picture to everybody. Chen Hao also took a look at the picture. It really turned out to be Li Zhenguo¡¯s driver, Jin Xiaoshan in the picture. He was d in a good quality attire and the watch on his wrist looked expensive as well. Chen Hao was surprised that Mr. Jin had this side to him. In the past, whenever Chen Hao came to the Hot Spring Vi, Li Zhenguo often asked Mr. Jin to pick up Chen Hao. Therefore, Chen Hao knew him quite well. He felt that Mr. Jin was an honest and straightforward person. Moreover, he looked like a in and simple guy in front of him. Unexpectedly, he was such a domineering person behind his back. Then again, who did not have their own private life? ¡°So, don''t take Liu Li too seriously the next time you see him. As for the people who follows him, don¡¯t think too highly of them as well. Juste to me for help whenever you need it!¡± Li Wenyang nced at Chen Hao. Then, he looked toward Jiang Xueqing and said, ¡°Xueqing, don¡¯t worry. I will settle that guy in the ¡°Huh? Xueqing, did you encounter some trouble in yourpany?¡± asked Wang Rui. Chen Hao lifted his head up and looked at Jiang Xueqing. Chapter 223 The Boss Who Deserved a Beating Chapter 223 The Boss Who Deserved a Beating ¡°That¡¯s right, Xueqing, tell us quickly! What happened?¡± someone asked curiously. Jiang Xueqing nodded her head and told them the story in detail. Chen Hao finally understood. It turned out that her superior, who was the deputy manager of one of the departments, had been harassing her quite often ever since she set foot in thepany. He seemed quite modest in the beginning as he only wanted to ask her out for a meal. After rejecting him several times, Jiang Xueqing felt that it wasn¡¯t appropriate to keep rejecting him like that, so she went out with him once. However, since then, that perverted man¡¯s attitude became increasingly worse. He often called Jiang Xueqing into his office. In the beginning, he would verbally harass her. But now, it had already progressed to sexual harassment. About two days before the celebration, he called for Jiang Xueqing again. This time around, he touched her thighs straightaway. Jiang Xueqing panicked and sshed a ss of water at him. Because of that, he threatened to fire her from thepany. She was given a choice to either obey him or leave thepany. Everybody might not know him but ording to Jiang Xueqing¡¯s description, he had male pattern baldness, and he looked like a wretched person. Later on, Jiang Xueqing told Li Wenyang everything as he was the only one in the entire ss who had the capability to deal with this man. ¡°Damn it! It¡¯s so infuriating. I really want to give him a good beating! How dare he bully our ¡®goddess¡¯ Xueqing?!¡± said some of the guys angrily. ¡°That¡¯s right. However, as girls, we really need to know how to protect ourselves. In this society, we tend to be the object of bullying. Back then, when I started working in the hospital, some people did not know my rtionship status, and hence they requested some ¡®things¡¯ from me. It was only after they knew my boyfriend¡¯s identity that they stopped harassing me,¡± said Li Mingxue. ¡°What Mingxue said is true. Xueqing, to be honest, Li Shihan and you are the prettiest girls in our ss. Just take a look at Shihan now. She had found herself a capable boyfriend, so it¡¯s about time that you find a guy that loves you too. Ahem. There is already a ¡®ready-made¡¯ guy just beside you, so you must cherish him,¡± said Wang Rui. Jiang Xueqing blushed as she lowered her head. ¡°Xueqing, don¡¯t you worry. I will settle this for you after today¡¯s gathering. I don¡¯t believe that he has the guts to defy me since he is only a deputy manager,¡± said Li Wenyang domineeringly. ¡°Wenyang, I want you to give them a fright only. Don¡¯t do anything else, alright?¡± said Jiang Xueqing worriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know my limits.¡± ¡°Hahaha! Xueqing, if you want to scare people, let me introduce you to a good candidate¡ªChen Hao! He is quite close with Liu Li.¡± Li Chao looked at Chen Hao and smirked at this moment. Everybodyughed as well. On the other hand, Chen Hao finally managed to find a capable and fun person to hang out with, but that person had betrayed him. Jiang Xueqing gave Chen Hao a nce and turned her head to speak with Li Wenyang. It was obvious. Back in high school, Jiang Xueqing and Chen Hao were on good terms with each other. Furthermore, she even got into a heated argument with Li Wenyang because of him. However, it was obvious that her rtionship with Li Wenyang was closer now. That was because Li Wenyang was considered the most sessful person amongst them. He had Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. more resourcespared to other people. Hence, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t even dream of holding a candle to him. Chen Hao understood the situation. After experiencing what society was like, ordinary people would realize that wealth and resources were way more important than friendships after all. Even though he felt upset that the girl that he treated as his best friend had a close rtionship with his bully, Chen Hao did not utter a single word. When he saw that everybody was directing the topic of conversation toward him and even started mocking him, Chen Hao excused himself and went to the washroom. After he was done with his business and was washing his hands, Jiang Xueqing happened to walk out of the girl¡¯s toilet. Obviously she came here shortly after Chen Hao. When they met each other, both of them looked embarrassed. ¡°Chen Hao, I haven¡¯t had the opportunity to chat with you properly. How are you doing now?¡± To hide her embarrassment, she gave him a hearty smile. After all, she knew that anyone who was in Chen Hao¡¯s shoes would feel upset about the fact that she was close to Li Wenyang, especially if you considered her rtionship with Chen Hao in the past, as well as the conflict between him and Li Wenyang. ¡°Alright, I guess,¡± said Chen Hao as he grabbed some tissues and wiped his hands. ¡°I heard that you haven¡¯t found a job yet, so what are your ns for the future?¡± asked Jiang Xueqing. ¡°I am thinking of setting up my own business,¡± replied Chen Hao honestly. Jiang Xueqing furrowed her brows while giving him a casual smile at the same time. Then, she shook her head and said, ¡°Chen Hao, I think you should find a job, no matter what kind of job it is. You should know better that you are different from other people.¡± ¡°Or maybe you can try to get into Wenyang¡¯s good books. He has his ownpany now and they happened to be short staffed. If you want to work there, I can ask Wenyang to allow you to work in his ¡°Thank you, but I don¡¯t want to work under him,¡± said Chen Hao with a smile. ¡°Sigh. Chen Hao, I know that Wenyang had beaten you up in high school, but that was because he was too impulsive back then, so it''s somewhat understandable. Besides, think about it, if you had listened to Wenyang back then and let him copy your homework, I don¡¯t think he would have beaten you up, instead he might give you a boost after your graduation,¡± said Jiang Xueqing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve never taken that matter to heart. By the way, don¡¯t worry about that issue with the deputy manager of your department. You can either find your manager straightaway to file aint or you can escte it to the upper management. They will definitely take this issue seriously.¡± The people from the managerial level up to the upper management level were the original talents of Jin Ling Commercial Group, hence Chen Hao was very well aware of their capabilities and personal traits. They would definitely not let this happen. Chen Hao thought about it and told this to Jiang Xueqing. However, Jiang Xueqing looked at Chen Hao and smiled bitterly. ¡°You won¡¯t understand the situation at a workce yet. Sigh! Don¡¯t worry about this matter. But thank you, Chen Hao!¡± With that, Jiang Xueqing waved her hands at Chen Hao and left. Jiang Xueqing felt like a stranger to Chen Hao in that instant, just like back then when he met Li Shihan. Sigh! Chen Hao was greatly disheartened at the moment as he walked out. However, the moment he stepped out, he saw Jiang Xueqing being blocked by a middle-aged man, and that guy even tried to hold her hands. ¡°What do you think you are doing, General Manager Zhao?¡± asked Jiang Xueqing as she tried to dodge him. ¡°Haha, Qing, I never expected to meet you here while I was having my meal. So, you came here to eat as well. Come along and apany me for a drink or two. At the same time, I can introduce some of thepany¡¯s colleagues to you.¡± General Manager Zhao gave her a perverted look. ¡°Come on, don¡¯t be naughty. I¡¯ll get angry if you continue being like this,¡± said General Manager Zhao. ¡°Let her go!¡± At this moment, an angry roar was heard¡­ Chapter 224 Crashed Into the Back of a Mercedes Benz G500 Chapter 224 Crashed Into the Back of a Mercedes Benz G500 The roar of anger came from Li Wenyang who had just stepped out of the private room. A few moments ago, a girl had witnessed a man blocking Jiang Xueqing as she was walking out from Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. the private room to go to the washroom. Therefore, Li Wenyang went out right away and surrounded them with a group of people after hearing the news from the girl. Apparently, General Manager Zhao was not scared of them. At that moment, his facial expression went cold and asked, ¡°What''s the matter? A bunch of kids! Who shouted just now?¡± ¡°She is my ssmate. Why are you blocking her?¡± asked Li Wenyang, who was first to bear the brunt. Jiang Xueqing was terrified and quickly hid behind Li Wenyang. General Manager Zhao said with his arms crossed, ¡°Xueqing, let me tell you now. It was not easy for me to allow you to apany ourpany¡¯s colleagues and leaders today. If you know any better, you should follow me inside! Also, tell this kid who I am!¡± ¡°Wenyang, his name is Zhao Tai, and he is the deputy manager of our department!¡± Jiang Xueqing said. ¡°Sh*t! It¡¯s him?¡± Li Wenyang had nned to confront Zhao Tai this afternoon. But since Zhao Tai was already here, it seemed that he did not need to waste his efforts after all. As for Jiang Xueqing, she obviously did not expect to meet the old pervert here. Li Wenyang dered his background directly, ¡°Hmph, I was just looking for you, General Manager Zhao. Do you know who I am? My father is Li Shenghua! The biggest kitchen and bathroom city mall in Ping An County belongs to my family!¡± Zhao Tai''s heart sank when he heard this. Of course he had heard of Li family¡¯s kitchen and bathroom city mall. It was a second-sspany in Ping An County back then. But it was different now! As Li family¡¯s kitchen and bathroom city mall had high environmental protection standards, they had been invested by the Dreamer Investment Group, and it was now one of the group¡¯s development projects. Moreover, the status of the Li family¡¯s kitchen and bathroom city mall was also on the rise. And now, it could be considered as a first-sspany in Ping An County. Although hispany was being invested by the same group, at the end of the day, he was merely a deputy manager of a department. Therefore, he had to think twice before he acted. ¡°Oh, so you''re the son of the Li family. But Young Master Li, I''m currently talking to Xueqing regarding ourpany''s business. It seems that you are in no ce to butt in right?¡± Zhao Tai said coldly. Hispany¡¯s investment ratio was much higher than that of the kitchen and bathroom city mall¡¯s factorypanies. They could be considered as a subsidiary of the Dreamer Investment Group. Therefore, in terms of strength and background, Zhao Tai was not afraid of the Li family. ¡°I don¡¯t care! I am interfering today!¡± Li Wenyang was very domineering. Both of them refused to back down as none of them wanted to lose their pride. In the end, Li Wenyang made the first move out of impulse, and the two started fighting. Seeing that, Li Chao and the rest also joined in the fight as they all thought that this deputy manager was not as powerful as Li Wenyang¡¯s family. After being beaten by a group of people, Zhao Tai was in bad shape. Jiang Xueqing, who was beside them, couldn¡¯t stop them even if she wanted to. ¡°F*ck! You dare to hit me! Just you wait!¡± Zhao Tai covered his face and ran away in disorder. After a few moments, arge group of people came out of Zhao Tai¡¯s private room. The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit. ¡°General Manager Zhao, who is the one that hit you?¡± the middle-aged man asked coldly. Naturally, Zhao Tai pointed at Li Wenyang and Li Chao while he whispered something in the middle- aged man¡¯s ear. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t care whose son he is. Anyway, today is my first day as thepany¡¯s senior executive and there is already someone looking for trouble now. F*ck! If I don¡¯t teach them a lesson, these kids may think that I¡¯m easy to mess with. Beat them up!¡± Chen Hao was watching from the sidelines and didn¡¯t know which side he should help. On one hand, Li Wenyang was quite a dandy and a good fighter. However, he was obviously no match for the men the middle-aged man brought. Right away, Li Wenyang was hit on the head with a bottle by a young man. Blood flowed down from his head and covered his face in an instant. ¡°Stop fighting! Everybody, stop fighting!¡± As soon as Chen Hao saw that something had gone wrong, he quickly went forward with the other boys to stop the fight. After all, it was his own men who were beating them up. Although Li Wenyang was somewhat considered as his rival, it was better to not cause a scene as it was a ss reunion. At least not today. With the help of the hotel¡¯s staff, Zhao Tai''s men stopped. He was immediately surrounded by a group of his men and left after paying the bills. Wang Rui was terrified and asked quickly, ¡°What should we do now? Wenyang, you are bleeding! ¡± Li Wenyang''s eyes were red as he cursed, ¡°Sh*t! This is the first time in my life that someone has dared to beat me! I¡¯ll call my father and ask him to get someone to kill that man!¡± Chen Hao could notice from the attack just now that Li Wenyang was not a person who would lose out. Moreover, at first, he thought that he could show off in front of his ssmates by using his father¡¯s name. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tai''s men were even more arrogant and they didn''t pay any respect to his father. He was even badly beaten up! It was all because Li Wenyang could not ept it and had lost control of his temper. ¡°I think we better call an ambnce first!¡± Li Mingxue said hurriedly as she took out her phone to make a call. It wasn''t long before the ambnce came. As Li Mingxue was a clinician, she immediately got in as well to help with the bandaging. ¡°Young Master Yang was beaten to the hospital. What shall we do now?¡± ¡°I think maybe we should leave too. What if those peoplee backter with backup?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, those people don¡¯t look simple!¡± Wang Rui added meekly. Everybody was looking at Li Chao, who was actually dumbfounded at that moment. Because during the second fight, he chickened out as soon as he heard that the other side was some kind of senior executive. So, he didn¡¯t dare to fight back after being kicked down. Therefore, only Li Wenyang was beaten up in theter half. When he saw that everyone was looking at him now, he suddenly regained his arrogant self. Li Chao said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic everyone, let¡¯s drive to the hospital first. I am sure that Wenyang¡¯s father will be there!¡± After that, everyone rushed to the underground parking lot of the hotel. Chen Hao was stunned for a while before following suit. Damn it, it was actually a very simple matter. Either Jiang Xueqing could file aint against Zhao Tai and let thepany deal with him, or he could just make a phone call and had it settled. He never expected that it would turn into a big deal now. When the crowd had reached the parking lot, Li Chao asked hurriedly, ¡°We still have four cars left now. Who else is driving?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all my fault!¡± Jiang Xueqing started crying as she med herself for what had happened. ¡°Hmph, Xueqing, how is it your fault? I saw everything when I went out just now. Chen Hao was nearby when you were blocked by that old pervert, and he didn''t do anything. If he did, the incident after might not have happened. He should be the one to me!¡± Wang Rui added, ¡°That¡¯s right Xue Qing! If you want to me someone, it should be Chen Hao! Don''t me yourself! Let''s get in the car and go to the hospital first!¡± With that, some of them had already started to get into their cars while Jiang Xueqing also sat in Li Chao''s car. "Sh*t! Look, Chen Hao¡¯s down here too!" They only noticed Chen Hao at this moment. One of the girl ssmates said coldly, ¡°What is this loser doing down here? Our cars are all upied. Didn''t hee here in a cab?" ¡°That''s right. Didn''t you take a cab here? What''s the matter? Are you still thinking of leaving together in our car? Seriously, somehow you are always around when something happens but you are nothing but useless!¡± Wang Rui snorted, ¡°Quickly go up and grab a cab. Don¡¯t just stand there and block our way!¡± This time, Jiang Xueqing nced at Chen Hao and said nothing. Wang Rui rolled her eyes at Chen Hao. ¡°Li Chao, just ignore him and quickly start the car. Whose car is faster? Yours or Wenyang¡¯s?¡± ¡°Err, it¡¯s almost the same! Let''s go first. Sit tightdies!¡± Li Chao warned as he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car went forward. Bang! Because the steering wheel was not stabilized in time, the car directly crashed into the back of the white car that was parked in front, and the hood of Li Chao''s car was folded in. ¡°Sh*t¡± Li Chao was shocked. Everybody in the car went out. ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, Wang Rui covered her mouth and screamed. ¡°Chao, fastere here and look at this. The car you hit seems to be a Mercedes Benz G500!¡± ¡°What? Mercedes Benz G500?¡± The crowd didn¡¯t take it seriously as they thought that there couldn¡¯t be such a luxurious car in the whole Ping An County. However, when they went to have a closer look, they thought, What else would it be if it¡¯s not a G Wagon... Chapter 225 Chen Hao’s G wagon Chapter 225 Chen Hao¡¯s G wagon ¡°Holy shit, this G wagon cost more than two million!¡± someone said worriedly. The damage done on the Mercedes Benz G500 after the collision turned out to be not as serious as they thought. However, Li Chao was afraid that he would have to pay at least a few hundred thousand as ¡°It¡¯s all my fault! If it wasn''t because of me, you wouldn''t have crashed into the car!¡± Guilt was written all over Jiang Xueqing¡¯s face. Sigh! I have only myself to me for today¡¯s incidents. Li Wenyang was beaten up because of me, and now I¡¯ve caused Li Chao to crash into a car. What should I do? Jiang Xueqing felt like her head was going to explode. At the same time, the other ssmates were frantically discussing solutions to solve the problem. ¡°Well, it¡¯s not a big deal. Just leave it,¡± Chen Hao said with both hands in his pocket. What a coincidence. This car¡¯s owner was none other than Chen Hao. He felt himself to be quite unlucky as his Lamborghini was knocked by someone before this, and now his G Wagon was crashed by someone else too. Although his car had been hit, Chen Hao saw that Jiang Xueqing and the rest were anxious as they saw this as an emergency. And so, he felt that it was not appropriate to ask for the repairing ¡°What the f*ck! You sound so chill. Do you even know what car this is? It¡¯s a Mercedes Benz G500! Who dares to just leave it like this? We can¡¯t bear the consequences if we are found out by the owner of this car. Do you f*cking understand?¡± Wang Rui ridiculed out of agitation. ¡°How about we just wait for the owner and apologize to him once he¡¯s here? Perhaps he might appreciate our sincerity and let us go,¡± one of the girls suggested. ¡°That¡¯s right. Leaving the car is surely not a wise thing to do now!¡± Many of them agreed. Some of the girls even decided to stay to see if the owner of the car was a young and handsome guy. ¡°Li Chao, why don¡¯t you leave with them first? I¡¯ll stay here to wait for the owner and talk to him about thepensation,¡± Jiang Xueqing said at this moment. Although she wasn¡¯t rich, she wouldn¡¯t let Li Chao bear thepensation for the car. ¡°No way! I¡¯m not leaving you alone here. Why don¡¯t we try asking our family and friends about the owner of this car? Perhaps it might be someone we know!¡± Wang Rui suggested at this time. Obviously, everyone agreed to this suggestion and started calling up their friends and family. ¡°One of my cousins is working as an earthwork engineer. I will ask him now!¡± ¡°My uncle is a contractor, so he has some connections. Let me ask him!¡± ¡°One of my distant rtives is a teacher. He should know many people!¡± Many ssmates had started to call up the people they know. Jiang Xueqing hesitated for a while and was about to do the same thing everyone did. ¡°Stop calling. Seriously, listen to me. Just leave it to me!¡± Chen Hao was speechless to see everyone making a big fuss over the matter. ¡°Leave it to you? What can a useless person like you do?¡± ¡°You¡¯re so hopeless!¡± Beep! Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to say anything more and pressed on his car key after taking it out of his pocket. His action made everyone on the spotpletely stunned. ¡°What?¡± ¡°What the f*ck?¡± Some of the girls eximed. Even Jiang Xueqing put down her phone and looked at Chen Hao in shock. Not to mention Wang Rui and Li Chao. The scene before them was rather hard to swallow for the both of them. This G Wagon belongs to Chen Hao? Didn¡¯t hee in a cab? Isn¡¯t he a poor loser? Everyone at the scene froze in shock. Chen Hao got into the car and drove it out to check the damage. Luckily it wasn¡¯t that bad, so it wouldn¡¯t be a big problem after sending it to an automobile repair shop. On the other hand, Li Chao¡¯s car, which the hood had folded after the crash, was not able to start anymore. Since Jiang Xueqing was in trouble, and taking their friendship into consideration, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t just leave her alone. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Get into my car, I will give you guys a ride to the hospital!¡± Chen Hao said nonchntly. This made everyone feel that Chen Hao wasn¡¯t the guy that they had known before. In fact, Chen Hao had been talking indifferently all the while since they were at the bus stop. However, everyone only saw him as a useless idiot when he talked in that way earlier. But now, when Chen Hao spoke again in this tone, it made people feel that he was cool and admirable. ¡°Chen Hao! This is your car?¡± Wang Rui gaped and asked surprisingly. ¡°Yup, I just got it not long ago!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°My god! It''s a G Wagon! Chen Hao owns a G Wagon!¡± Wang Rui said excitedly. ¡°Chen Hao, can I sit in your car?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Ah! Oh dear! I finally get the chance to sit in a G Wagon!¡± Wang Rui pped happily and got into the car. Jiang Xueqing was standing at the side with her face flushed. She was just educating Chen Hao to find a proper job a while ago, and now she realized that he actually owned a G Wagon! Moreover, before they came here, Chen Hao asked to meet her at the bus stop so that they could It turned out that Chen Hao was going to fetch her here with his own car! ¡°Xueqing,e on!¡± Looking at Jiang Xueqing who was feeling embarrassed, Chen Hao said with a faint smile. Jiang Xueqing hesitated for a moment, but then nodded her head and got into the passenger seat. Soon, the car was full. Chen Hao then started his car and left the ce. ¡°Chen Hao, quick, tell us! How did you buy this car? Have you be a rich tycoon now?¡± While on the way, Wang Rui rolled down the car window and stretched her head out to take pictures as she asked him curiously. ¡°I didn¡¯t buy it. I won it in a lucky draw session!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t lie about that. After all, the Lamborghini which he bought was still parked in the garage at the Cloud Mansion. ¡°Huh? You won it?¡± Wang Rui was slightly disappointed. As for the girls sitting beside Wang Rui, they were already daydreaming about their future since they were all still single. After all, Chen Hao already owns a property worth two million. He could be living a typical well-off life once he buys a house and a normal car after selling off this luxury car. Suddenly, all the girls had be interested in Chen Hao. As for Jiang Xueqing, her surprise was quickly reced by contempt once she heard that this car was just a gift he won from a lucky draw session. It was just a free gift he won. She felt that Chen Hao asked her out for a meal today just to show off his car in front of her. But it was a different case for Li Wenyang, as he had the money to buy the Audi A4 by himself. Hence, Jiang Xueqing didn¡¯t feel guilty toward Chen Hao anymore. ¡°Chen Hao, I didn¡¯t expect you to own a G Wagon! No matter how you got it, you¡¯re now considered rich! That¡¯s so cool! Why did you keep such a low profile during the gathering just now? Haha, you should be swanking it up!¡± Wang Rui ttered. ¡°Haha, I don¡¯t think a person should be snobbish or swanky about his wealth even if he bes rich. Moreover, don¡¯t simply look down upon anyone. Even though he might look ordinary, you¡¯ll never know if he may be the one who can help you when you¡¯re in trouble.¡± The girls all agreed on what he said, except Jiang Xueqing. Looking at Jiang Xueqing who frowned with disgust and then nced out of the window, Chen Hao did not continue the conversation. Soon, they arrived at the hospital. At the moment, Li Wenyang¡¯s wound had been treated and bandaged. He was calling someone on his phone when the ssmates entered his ward. ¡°Mr. Jin, my dad has given you a call right? I¡¯m in the hospital now. Would you be able to drop by? I heard my dad say that the people from the other side who had beaten me up are quite troublesome!¡± Chapter 226 The Hospital Director is Coming Chapter 226 The Hospital Director is Coming Li Wenyang was begging Mr. Jin for his help. What they talked about wasn¡¯t clear. However, upon seeing Jiang Xueqing and the others entering, Li Wenyang hung up. ¡°Wenyang, I¡¯m so sorry. Everything happened because of me!¡± Jiang Xueqing apologized. ¡°What are you talking about, Xueqing? I didn¡¯t expect that person to make a move without even asking. Don¡¯t worry, my dad is dealing with them now! Oh yeah, I told my dad about your problem too!¡± Li Wenyang said resentfully. Jiang Xueqing was about to say something when suddenly, her phone rang. She epted the phone call. After two hums as response, she hung up the phone. ¡°It¡¯s over now. My general manager just informed me that I was fired!¡± Jiang Xueqing whispered faintly. What does it mean to get fired? It means that I won''t ever stand a chance again to enter any of the How could I lose a huge opportunity just like that? ¡°What? You¡¯re fired?¡± Li Wenyang did not expect this. Initially, he only wanted to prove his capabilities in front of Jiang Xueqing. He wanted her to admire and fall in love with him. However, not only did he get beaten up, he couldn''t manage to solve Jiang Xueqing¡¯s problem as well. And now, he had even gotten her fired. ¡°Sigh, Wenyang, what should we do now? It¡¯s obvious that he will still mess around with Xueqing!¡± Wang Rui urged. ¡°Hmph! Don¡¯t forget that Wenyang still has his dad! At least he¡¯s stronger than that General Manager Zhao!¡± someone said. At this time, Li Wenyang¡¯s phone rang. He rushed to answer his phone. ¡°Dad, what is the situation now? What? Damn it! Okay, I get it now. What about my problem? Okay, dad. I understand!¡± After hanging up, Li Wenyang dropped his phone onto his bed. ¡°Wenyang, what happened?¡± Jiang Xueqing asked. ¡°It¡¯s over. The guy who hit me? He is an executive from the headquarters. My dad tried to mediate with Mr. Jin, but Mr. Jin is just a driver after all. He¡¯s not on the same level as the executive. Moreover, the executive used to follow General Manager Zhao as well as being a confidant to him. Mr. Jin does not wish to get involved in this but my dad is begging him to arrange a meeting for me to apologize to Manager Zhao!¡± Li Wenyang wiped the sweat on his forehead. Jiang Xueqing felt her heart shrivel. It seemed like Li Wenyang was hardly able to fend for himself. ¡°Sigh! Xueqing, what my dad meant was, we shouldn¡¯t have been so impulsive. The guy named Zhao Tai who harassed you earlier, you should have reported him to the executive instead. Once the executive knows, he would have given him a stern punishment. Great! Our actions backfired! I got into trouble, and you lost your job.¡± Li Wenyang¡¯s tone became somber. After listening to what he said, Jiang Xueqing felt as if she had heard the exact same thing from someone else before. She couldn¡¯t help but nced at Chen Hao¡¯s direction by the door. Wasn¡¯t that what he told me by the sink at the restroom? Back then I had thought that he had no social experience and even lectured him. In the end, what he said was the correct solution. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t have ended up like this. A few of them huddled around in the hospital to discuss some countermeasures. Well, not exactly countermeasures, but talking about it gave them mutualfort. Suddenly, Jiang Xueqing¡¯s phone rang again. After she picked up the phone. She hummed twice in response again. However this time, Jiang Xueqing¡¯s eyes kept on widening. Her facial expression showed disbelief. After she hung up, everyone was curious about her reaction. ¡°Xueqing, what happened?¡± Confusion etched on Jiang Xueqing¡¯s face as she said, ¡°I¡¯m not really sure. That phone call was made by the CEO himself. He told me to return to work. He also transferred me to the human resource department to be trained as a management trainee. Furthermore, he apologised to me about Zhao Tai and informed me that Zhao Tai has been fired! Apparently it was the executive¡¯s decision!¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone was dumbfounded. What the hell? This plot twist happened too soon! ¡°Xueqing, I feel like someone from the inside must have helped you out. If it weren¡¯t so, the CEO wouldn¡¯t havee forward and called you himself to apologise just because it was confirmed that you were harassed, would he?¡± ¡°Yeah! He even added that it was the executive¡¯s decision! Which confirms that someone must have pulled some strings behind!¡± Wang Rui and the others added. ¡°Yeah, I feel like that¡¯s the case too. But, do you guys know? It¡¯s really hard to get into thepany¡¯s management department. Who could have been so powerful to make the CEOe forward?¡± Jiang Xueqing rubbed her forehead. Suddenly, she jerked her head up and locked her gaze on Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Jiang Xueqing stood up. ¡°What? Chen Hao?¡± Wang Rui and the others looked at Chen Hao with surprise. Chen Hao also did not expect Jiang Xueqing to connect the dots and rte everything to him. Indeed. While everyone was chatting, Chen Hao went out to make a call to Li Zhenguo and asked him to deal with the problem at hand. However, he did not expect that Jiang Xueqing would find out so soon. ¡°Chen Hao, it¡¯s you!¡± Jiang Xueqing started walking toward Chen Hao and said, ¡°Do you know? It¡¯s those words you said while we were on the way that reminded me. ''Never look down upon the people around you because sometimes, the ones that help you in the end are often those that you look down upon''! I think I might have figured out who that person is! Chen Hao, thank you for reminding me!¡± Jiang Xueqing thanked Chen Hao earnestly. Then, she continued on, ¡°When I first entered thepany, the vice manager from human resources who was responsible for my recruitment was a young man. He¡¯s also very hardworking. Although he only nods as a greeting every time he sees me, but, do you guys know? He actually helped me out a lot!¡± ¡°Initially, I felt that he was upright, honest, and all he does is work everyday! However, now that I think about it, maybe he¡¯s the kind of guy who keeps a low profile. It is likely that he helped me out then. A few days ago, I also heard my colleagues guessing his identity! This might not be a simple coincidence!¡± Jiang Xueqing added. However, Jiang Xueqing wasn¡¯t too sure about it. So, she immediately contacted another colleague that she was close to for confirmation. ¡°Hey Miss Li? Do you still remember the vice manager from human resources? The one where you guys mentioned was someone¡¯s nephew? Is he really the nephew of one of the executives? Alright, alright. I get it now. No, nothing¡¯s wrong. Thank you for your time!¡± After the conversation ended, Jiang Xueqing became so emotional and it looked as if she might start tearing up soon. ¡°Xueqing, are you sure it was him? Does he like you or?¡± Wang Rui asked, her wordsced with envy. She didn¡¯t know why but she somehow felt jealous. ¡°I don¡¯t know if he likes me or not. But I remember that he secretly helped me out many times. He must have known that I got fired! I will get a confirmation from him tomorrow at work!¡± ¡°Whoa! I¡¯m so jealous of you guys! Mingxue has Li Chao helping her and now she officially became a doctor; Xueqing has Wenyang and the vice manager helping her. Even Shihan is backed by a rich man while I¡¯m the only one left alone!¡± Wang Rui red at Tycoon and eximed in jealousy. Li Mingxueughed wryly and tried to console her. ¡°Come on, Wang Rui. You don¡¯t mean it that way. Tycoon is pretty nice too, isn¡¯t he?¡± ¡°By the way Chen Hao, since you looked like you have nothing to do, could you help fetch us some warm water?¡± Li Mingxue asked. Seriously? Who the f*ck had nothing to do? Chen Hao thought. However, he was embarrassed to reject them so he went anyway. ¡°Doctor Li! The hospital¡¯s director and vice director are heading over to the wards at this zone!¡± ¡°What? The director ising?¡± Li Mingxue was taken by surprise. Li Wenyang was surprised too. ¡°Maybe the director¡¯sing to visit me after he heard that I was admitted! Xueqing, quick! Help me up! The director is friends with my dad, I can¡¯t afford to be rude!¡± Just a few moments ago, Li Wenyang was still pissed off that the vice manager stole his thunder from Jiang Xueqing. However, he was excited now that he heard that the director wasing over to visit him. He managed to get down from the bed with Jiang Xueqing¡¯s help. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. As the crowd gotrger, Chen Hao took the chance to leave the ward by taking the kettle out to get more water. However, he immediately ran into the director of the hospital. ¡°Master Chen, it¡¯s you?¡± Chapter 227 Something Happened to Qin Ya Chapter 227 Something Happened to Qin Ya ¡°Mr. Chen, where are you heading?¡± The director and Chen Hao ran into each other. Immediately, the director shook Chen Hao¡¯s hand and smiled. ¡°Huh? Mr. Chen?¡± Everyone from the ward was dumbfounded as they watched the scene y out before them. Especially Li Wenyang who had already stood up and readied himself to greet the director. Why did he call Chen Hao ¡®Mr. Chen¡¯? ¡°Director, do you know me?¡± Chen Hao was taken aback as well. ¡°Of course I do. Thest time Uncle Wu was admitted to the hospital, I went over to visit him too! It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t run into you!¡± the director eximed while smiling. Chen Hao pondered for a while. I suppose it makes sense. Thest time when Uncle Wu was admitted, I also ran into Li Mingxue at the canteen. At that time, she was still worrying about issues at work. Then I may have mentioned Li Mingxue¡¯s issue to Li Zhenguo when I went over to find him. After that, Li Mingxue¡¯s issue was resolved. However, Li Chao took the credit. I guess that was when the director heard about me. Later on, I¡¯d heard from Uncle Wu that a hospital director went to visit him. However, Chen Hao didn¡¯t dwell on it. ¡°Mr. Chen, I heard from the head nurse that you came over so I came here specifically to see you. Don¡¯t be afraid to reach out if you have any requests. Our hospital will try its best to fulfill your requirements!¡± the director said with a smile. Then, he saw Li Mingxue at the side and added, ¡°Look! After your suggestionst time, we¡¯ve already made Mingxue an official doctor. She¡¯s hardworking and responsible, everyone from the hospital praised her unanimously. You had really rmended someone with great talent!¡± The director chuckled. Then, he continued to talk about other topics with Chen Hao. It wasn¡¯t until everyone behind him greeted and shook hands with Chen Hao before they finally left. Chen Hao was sure he did not ask for help from this director. He had Li Zhenguo pull some strings within the province instead. However, it looked like the director was a capable man. It didn¡¯t take him long to inquire around before figuring out that Chen Hao was behind it. After they left, Chen Hao turned around to look behind him. He suddenly realized that each of his ssmates in the ward was looking at him in shock. Especially Li Wenyang. He felt stupid for even getting up. What a shame. It seemed like the director did note to visit him. Instead, he actually came to greet Chen Hao. This is awkward as hell! ¡°I will go get some warm water!¡± Chen Hao nodded lightly. ¡°C-Chen Hao!¡± Li Mingxue suddenly called out to Chen Hao in disbelief. ¡°Yeah? What is it, Mingxue?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°W-Were you the one who helped me? Did I finally be a doctor because of you?¡± What the director said was clearer than ever. It was Chen Hao who rmended a ¡®great talent¡¯ to the Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. hospital. Li Mingxue was puzzled as she had initially thought that it was Li Chao who helped her. Her father even went as far as to thank Li Chao¡¯s father personally. However, Li Chao¡¯s father¡¯s attitude was cold and unbothered. He dismissed her father right after giving him some water to drink. If it was really him, how could he have acted like that? But Li Mingxue finally understood now. The one who helped her out was Chen Hao all along. And he turned out to be really close to the director! ¡°Oh, it was nothing, really. I just knew some people from the field and gave them some rmendations!¡± Chen Hao smiled lightly. Li Mingxue felt remorseful. When she first met Chen Hao, she only treated him to a meal at the school canteen. However, with Li Chao, she treated him to dine at exclusive restaurants and hotels. In the end, the one that was worried about her and helped her turned out to be Chen Hao! When Li Mingxue looked at Chen Hao, a different kind of affection bloomed inside her. ¡°What the hell? Not only does Chen Hao drive a Mercedes G500, he also has so many connections around! What is he even doing now?¡± Wang Rui eximed. ¡°What did you say? Chen Hao drives a Mercedes G500?¡± Li Wenyang was shocked again. To think that Chen Hao only smiled lightly while he was showing off his car at the bus stop. He¡¯d initially thought that Chen Hao was just being jealous, Looks like Chen Hao was just ying along by watching you act like a fool by showing off! His car is even worth up to nine of yours! ¡°It¡¯s just another form of transportation anyways. I won it from an event back then.¡± Chen Hao smiled. He headed out right after. Jiang Xueqing also started to look at Chen Hao in a new light. However, Chen Hao decided to leave after he finished dealing with them. As for who Jiang Xueqing thought helped her, Chen Hao honestly couldn¡¯t care less. Right then, he retrieved his car from the hospital¡¯s parking lot and left under his ssmates¡¯ stunned gazes. While he was on the road driving, Chen Hao''s phone suddenly rang. Looking at the iing call¡¯s number, it was none other than Zhao Tongtong! ¡°Chen Hao, why don¡¯t you advise Qin Ya toe back? Uncle Qin has been worried sick! Even her phone has been turned off now, and she hasn''t replied to any of my Wechat messages! Whatever, just try to persuade her. I¡¯lle over during noon to see her!¡± Zhao Tongtong said. However, Chen Hao was stunned after taking in what she said. He immediately hit the brakes. ¡°What are you talking about? Didn¡¯t Qin Ya go home?¡± Chen Hao asked stupidly. Qin Ya had already left and she should have reached her home long ago. However, Chen Hao did not contact her at that time. He figured that helping her out once was enough. After all, he couldn¡¯t afford Su Tongxin getting the wrong idea again. Who would have thought that Qin Ya could not be reached anymore? ¡°Huh? What are you talking about? What home? I tried contacting Qin Ya but I couldn¡¯t reach her at all. She¡¯s getting too good at this, even her dad started freaking out! Come on, stop ying around. Qin Ya¡¯s dad is not at our house anymore. Quick, pass the phone over to Qin Ya!¡± Zhao Tongtong demanded. She thought Chen Hao was still putting up an act. ¡°Stop scaring me. The next morning after you guys left three days ago, Qin Ya had already taken a cab back to Jin Ling City. She told me she was getting engaged with Li Yue!¡± Chen Hao wiped away the sweat forming on his forehead. He told Zhao Tongtong everything that he knew about the situation. ¡°Sh*t! If that''s the case, why can¡¯t I reach out to her? Do you think that it¡¯s possible that we have already lost contact with her from the day that she left? Also, are you sure Qin Ya told you that she was getting engaged with Li Yue?¡± ¡°Well, who else can it be?¡± ¡°Let me tell you. It seemed like Qin Ya made up some excuses because she was afraid of you not wanting to let her stay. Sigh. I just found out what happened too. She wasn¡¯t going to be engaged to Li Yue, but to a Mr. Long from Yan Jing. Qin Ya refused to, which was why she ran away! What I¡¯m worried about right now is, did something happen to Qin Ya?¡± Zhao Tongtong was scared and worried. Not to mention Chen Hao. He immediately tried to contact Qin Ya after the phone call. However, her phone was turned off. He tried contacting her via Wechat but to no avail too. Sh*t! Damn it! Is it possible that something really happened? Well, although this matter was indirectly rted to Chen Hao, he was the one who let Qin Ya leave in the first ce. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but feel guilty. If he had never said those words to her, Qin Ya wouldn¡¯t have left. If he had called to check up on her after she left, he could have known where she went. But now? Something might have happened to Qin Ya, and he didn¡¯t even notice until three days after. Zhao Tongtong even thought that Qin Ya was still with him. The whole situation caused Chen Hao¡¯s mind to go nk for a moment. Millions of possibilities then ran through his mind. The more he thought about it, the more scared he felt. Chen Hao mmed his steering wheel. He immediately made a U-turn and headed back. He had to go back to Jin Ling... Chapter 228 Getting Help From Online Celebrity Chapter 228 Getting Help From Online Celebrity ¡°Sigh, Tongtong, Uncle Qin has been worried sick. He¡¯s even ready to file a report at the police station. What should we do? Even more so, how long are we gonna wait here for that Chen Hao?¡± Something had happened to Qin Ya, so naturally all her friends and family members were informed. Which exined why all of Qin Ya¡¯s roommates had gathered together. Right now, they were all waiting for Chen Hao at the front entrance of Jin Ling College. Zhao Tongtong had already agreed to meet up with Chen Hao at Jin Ling College during their phone call earlier. Furthermore, they had to inform the school¡¯s authorities about what had happened too. Uncle Qin had left for the police station. So, Zhao Tongtong and the others came over to the college instead. ¡°Let¡¯s just wait for him. After all, Qin Ya left under his care. If anything, he obviously understands the situation much more than we do. Nevertheless, my sisters! Chen Hao must have had something to do with Qin Ya¡¯s disappearance. Watch me teach him a lessonter!¡± Zhao Tongtong scoffed. Qin Ya¡¯s roommates were all filled with indignation. It is decided! When Chen Hao reaches, we will all beat him up! Hmph! ¡°Seriously though, I don¡¯t know what Qin Ya sees in Chen Hao. What was the point of looking for that kind of loser?¡± ¡°Most importantly, after Qin Ya left, he didn¡¯t care about her anymore!¡± All the other roommates gossiped. Right at that moment. One of the girls pointed in the direction of the other side of the road. ¡°Hey guys, look at that! That G Wagon is heading toward our direction! And the driver looks like he¡¯s pretty hot!¡± ¡°Come on Yanyan, look at the situation right now. Are you really still in the mood to check hot guys out?¡± However, all of the girls couldn¡¯t help but stare at the G Wagon. After all, the car looked very sophisticated. ¡°Hey, wait. Is it just me or the guy driving the car looks like Chen Hao?¡± one of the girlsmented. ¡°Chen Hao? What the f*ck? How is that possible?¡± ¡°That poor loser? It¡¯s already not bad if he came riding a bicycle!¡± Zhao Tongtong grumbled. The G Wagon finally arrived. mming on the brakes, the car stopped right in front of Zhao Tongtong and the others. Then, Chen Hao came out from his car. ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡± Chen Hao gushed. ¡°Huh?!¡± This time, Zhao Tongtong and the others were dumbfounded. Indeed, the Chen Hao in the past was a poor loser under their impressions. But now? F*ck, this guy really drove a G Wagon? Zhao Tongtong always thought that she was somewhat closer to Chen Hao than the others. At this point, however, even she was shocked. ¡°Chen Hao, how did you get yourself a G Wagon?¡± Zhao Tongtong questioned. ¡°I just got it recently. Let¡¯s not talk about that first. What¡¯s the situation right now?¡± Chen Hao inquired. Zhao Tongtong tried her best to suppress her fear and summarized what had happened. The situation wasn¡¯t looking good. Except for filing a report at the police station, there weren''t any leads or even development regarding the case. Qin Ya¡¯s family were on the verge of breaking down. Initially, Qin Ya¡¯s parents had already suffered enough from the pressure given by Beijing¡¯s Long family. The Long family had been forcing them to hand Qin Ya over for marriage. Now, even Qin Ya¡¯s whereabouts were unknown because of this matter. Their mental states were unstable at this point. After listening to what Zhao Tongtong said, Chen Hao¡¯s feeling of guilt intensified. As for Zhao Tongtong and the others, they initially wanted to beat Chen Hao up. However, none of them would actually raise a finger now. Looking at his G Wagon, the way they spoke to him were visibly more modest than before. ¡°Don''t worry, Chen Hao. I¡¯ve thought of an idea. Ling Fei, my younger cousin, told me that she has a ssmate working as a moderator for a live streamer. Last month, one of the audience requested them to help search for their long lost brother. And guess what? With the help of all of the audiences, they managed to reach out to the brother through all sorts of investigations on social media.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted Ling Fei and asked her if she could get her friend to help us out and get some help from their audience. After all, it is easier to get the job done with more people helping out!¡± Zhao Tongtong continued. Chen Hao nodded in agreement. This seems like a good idea. After all, you could never look down on people who were constantly active on social media tforms. As long as you were willing, it was definitely possible for them to retrieve whatever information you need. At the same time, Chen Hao also gave an order to Tian Long and Di Hu to do a manhunt. Consider this as double insurance for this matter! ¡°Ling Fei is here!¡± They saw a ck car stopping by the side of the road. Then, Zhao Tongtong¡¯s younger cousin came out of the car along with an elegant looking man with sses. Ling Fei was present the other day when Zhao Tongtong came to hang out with them. Thus, she also knew Chen Hao. It looked like she had also heard about what happened to Qin Ya. Immediately upon reaching, she rolled her eyes when she saw Chen Hao. ¡°Guys, I brought Xiao Qiang with me. Xiao Qiang, this is my cousin sister. I¡¯ve already briefed you about the current situation. Qin Ya went missing, and we hope that you can help us out by getting your audiences from your radio show to help us! Of course, we can also pay you for helping!¡± Ling Fei exined. The guy named Xiao Qiang pushed his sses and stated, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you guys pay me or not. It is almost Viral Day anyways, I want to do some good deeds to expand my influence, so there should ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. be no problem. My older sister¡¯s office is just in Jin Ling University City, let me bring all of you guys over. I¡¯ll exin the situation to her and it will be fine!¡± ¡°Hang on, that famous live streamer that you¡¯re talking about, you don¡¯t mean Han Siyu right?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. To be able to have a workshop in Jin Ling City and have arge influence¡­ Who else could it be if it weren¡¯t for Han Siyu? ¡°Haha, what do you think? Of course it¡¯s her!¡± Xiao Qiang said, side eyeing Chen Hao. ¡°What the hell, Chen Hao? I asked my friend over to help Qin Ya, not for you to ogle at live streamers! Can you stop acting like an as*hole?!¡± Ling Fei criticized. Zhao Tongtong stepped in and said, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Let¡¯s just hurry over and start looking with Xiao Qiang! Stop wasting time!¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s head over in my car! I will fetch all of you!¡± Initially, Chen Hao was hesitant about the idea of getting help from a live streamer that they didn''t know. He was worried that they might not be efficient enough to do their job. However, after knowing that it was Han Siyu, Chen Hao became enthusiastic. After all, Han Siyu was brought up by Ordinary Guy¡ªhimself. Whose orders would sheply with if it weren¡¯t for his? He immediately went into his car. ¡°What the f*ck? A G Wagon?¡± Ling Fei eximed in shock. ¡°Chen Hao, is this your G Wagon?¡± ¡°Come on, hurry up and get in the car!¡± Chen Hao urged impatiently. Even Xiao Qiang pushed his sses again, eyeing Chen Hao in surprise. Looks like this guy is even more powerful than I am, driving a luxurious car around like that! Zhao Tongtong, in another car, followed behind Chen Hao who was familiar with this area. In no time, they arrived at Block B of the University Student Entrepreneurship Base. It looked like Xiao Qiang dropped out from high school to pursue his dream to be a live streamer. However, he ended up as Han Siyu¡¯s moderator. They came to the office. ¡°Miss Yue, Miss Tongtong and the others are here!¡± Xiao Qiang brought Chen Hao and the others into the office and informed a girl there. This girl was none other than Chen Hao¡¯s ssmate, Du Yue. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ming!¡± Du Yue strutted toward them in heels. She was taken by surprise before she even managed to greet them. ¡°Chen Hao? What are you doing here?¡± Chapter 229 The Person you were Most Familiar with Chapter 229 The Person you were Most Familiar with Du Yue had been Han Siyu¡¯s assistant since the previous incident. As such, she was extremely shocked when she saw Chen Hao. ¡°Yup, I would like to ask for a favor!¡± Chen Hao had not seen Du Yue and Han Siyu for quite some time. He had not met them since he saved them from being kidnappedst time. Chen Hao still felt rather ufortable because of that incident. ¡°Chen Hao, give me a moment, Siyu is still doing her makeup. Let me go and inform her!¡± Du Yue¡¯s attitude toward Chen Hao was also no longer as nasty as before. After all, the incident that happened to them was still fresh in her mind. It was also very likely that Chen Hao saved them and that Chen Hao was actually a very powerful person. Thus, the only thing on Du Yue¡¯s mind was to please him. Of course, Han Siyu also had the same thought as Du Yue. Chen Hao¡¯s background was rather suspicious. After all, under such dangerous circumstances, no one else within their circle of friends could help. Furthermore, no one knew about what happened to them other than Chen Hao. Not only that, there were other incidents such as the time Meng Cairu¡¯s power bank was left in his car, and the time Chen Hao left his clothes on the Maybach. All these incidents had signs of Chen Hao¡¯s presence. Thus, his background was definitely worth looking into. Since then, Han Siyu¡¯s attitude toward Chen Hao had changed. ¡°Chen Hao, why are you here?¡± Han Siyu came out with light makeup on her face. Despite that, she looked stunning. That surprised Zhao Tongtong and the rest of them. They had never expected Han Siyu to look so fantastic even without makeup on. Zhao Tongtong, Ling Fei, Xiao Qiang and the rest of them had an awkward look on their face. ¡°Chen Hao, you know them?¡± ¡°Yes, these are my ssmates! Of course I know them!¡± Chen Hao casually said. Du Yue nervously asked, ¡°Chen Hao, what is your rtionship with the girl called Qin Ya?¡± ¡°She is a very close friend of mine. Anyway, utilize the power of your fanbase and request your fans to help look for her. Once she is located, I will not hesitate to repay you!¡± Chen Hao was not in the mood toy low anymore thus his tone sounded more domineering than usual. Han Siyu and Du Yue were not surprised by that. In fact, it convinced them even more that Chen Hao may be the mysterious person they were thinking about! ¡°We will help you with this and we will do so immediately. However before that, Chen Hao, could you follow me into my office first? I have something to discuss with you. Du Yue, host Xiao Qiang¡¯s friends for me!¡± Upon saying that, Han Siyu turned around and returned to her office. Chen Hao followed suit. He had also guessed that Han Siyu, Meng Cairu and the rest of them had probably figured out his real identity. After all, he had slipped up when he saved them a few times previously. Haha, otherwise forget being invited by Han Siyu into her office, Du Yue would have long chased me out of here while cursing at me! However, other than the usual ridicule, Chen Hao had no deep grudges or hatred toward Han Siyu. Otherwise, he would not have let her grow into the popr streamer she was today. ¡°Chen Hao, helping you out is not a problem. However, I need you to tell me the truth. Are you Ordinary Guy? Or Young Master Chen of Jin Ling city?¡± Han Siyu bit her lip and eventually asked the burning question within her. To be honest, nobody else felt moreplicated than Han Siyu upon meeting Chen Hao. After all, who was the one she had always loved? It was Ordinary Guy that had treated her so kindly. Despite having never met him before, the help Ordinary Guy gave her had made her fall for him. It was also the kind of obsession that was deeply engraved in her heart. Due to that, Han Siyu felt indifferent despite being constantly courted and helped by many rich guys. During this period of time, the amount of rich and handsome guys that offered their hand toward her had grown along with her poprity. Even if she was merely down with a cold, there would be many rich guys that drove all the way in order to deliver some medication for her. They even talked to her every single night. By right, the things they did were good enough. After all, Han Siyu barely had the opportunity to even speak to Ordinary Guy these few months. Not to mention, she had never seen him in person. However, Han Siyu did not fall for any of the rich guys. That was enough to prove the amount of love and admiration she had for Ordinary Guy. Han Siyu had even fantasizied countless times about how Ordinary Guy actually looked like. Therefore, when all the clues pointed to Chen Hao, a guy she had never bothered to look at in her entire life, as Ordinary Guy, the conflicted feelings within Han Siyu were indescribable. Would it really be Chen Hao? Is it really him? If it was Chen Hao. would-would I still love him?¡± I cannot believe this, I actually fell in love with Chen Hao? All these questions and thoughts were constantly on Han Siyu¡¯s mind. Her brain felt like exploding. Therefore, upon meeting Chen Hao, her heart skipped a beat. Not only that, she could no longer suppress her curiosity and had to ask Chen Hao to find out the truth. ¡°If that was me, would you still love me?¡± Chen Hao gave a bitter smile and said. Han Siyu bit her lip and then shook her head. ¡°I have no idea. I have no idea if I would fall in love with you if you are really Ordinary Guy!¡± ¡°Haha, you are overthinking. How could I be Ordinary Guy!¡± Chen Hao saw the conflicted look on Han Siyu¡¯s face and decided not to reveal his real identity. It was also to prevent any awkwardness between them in the future. After Qin Ya¡¯s incident, Chen Hao learnt his lesson and understood that he should not flirt with a girl if he had no intention of providing a guarantee for the girl¡¯s happiness in the future. Chen Hao also knew that there was no point in admitting his actual identity. There was nothing else to be gained from it. Han Siyu might just end up entangled in a painful mess. ¡°I don''t believe you. You must be lying to me!¡± Han Siyu said while staring at Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, all I want is to hear the truth from you. Furthermore, if you tell me the truth, I would also provide you with some information. I am sure you would be very interested in this news as well! Is that This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. okay?¡± Han Siyu said and inched closer to Chen Hao. ¡°I am really not Young Master Chen, nor am I Ordinary Guy. I am not lying to you, I merely got lucky and won the lottery. I won quite a lot of money so I showed off and bragged a little. If I am Young Master Chen and have so much money, would I still be so low profile? Furthermore, Young Master Chen is from a very wealthy family. You¡¯ve known me for three years in college, do I look like Ie from a very wealthy family?¡± Chen Hao said. Han Siyu nodded her head in agreement. There was a certain truth to that and it was something that they were always suspicious about. Nheless, even if Chen Hao was not Ordinary Guy, Han Siyu was no longer disgusted by him. ¡°Alright, I will believe you for now! Anyway, are you still interested in the information I have?¡± Han Siyu asked. ¡°What information?¡± ¡°Two weeks ago when I attended an event in Beijing, I bumped into someone. To be more specific, a girl!¡± Han Siyu lifted her head up once shepleted her sentence. She looked curiously at Chen Hao as she wanted to look at Chen Hao¡¯s reaction. ¡°Which girl? Do I know her?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Of course you do! In fact, she is someone you are extremely familiar with!¡± Han Siyu said, ¡°Actually I did not expect to bump into her in Beijing as well. Furthermore, she is no longer who she was before. She has changed greatly. Chen Hao, I guarantee that you would be shocked if you ever met her again!¡± Chen Hao scratched his head as he had no idea who she was referring to. ¡°It''s Yang Xia! Your ex-girlfriend. Chen Hao, you can''t have forgotten who she is right?¡± Han Siyu said. ¡°Yang Xia?¡± Chen Hao was really shocked this time... Chapter 230 Conflict due to Jealousy Chapter 230 Conflict due to Jealousy ¡°You saw Yang Xia? She''s in Beijing?¡± Truth be told, Chen Hao could not help but shudder when Yang Xia¡¯s name was mentioned even though he had not heard any news from her for a few months. There was also a tugging pain in his heart. After all, he had dated Yang Xia for two years. Even though Yang Xia hadpletely broken Chen Hao¡¯s heart and Chen Hao held a grudge against her for it, a majority of the time he spent in Jin Ling College was with this girl! However, since he revealed the fact that he was Young Master Chen of Jin Ling City, he had treated her very coldly. Yang Xia suffered a huge blow and decided to withdraw from college. Since then, Chen Hao''s hatred and disgust towards her had dissipated. In fact, he was even a little remorseful. Back then he was poor and had nothing, yet Yang Xia did not look down on him and actually chose to get together with him. They ate together and went shopping together. Although Yang Xia¡¯s personality changed after that, it was still much better whenpared with girls like Zhao Yifan. After all, there were times that she did not look down on him. Girls in today¡¯s day and age all loved money. The cold shoulder from him might have just destroyed her future. It made her unable toplete her studies and graduate with a degree. There was a period of time that Chen Hao even thought of looking for someone to help Yang Xia out. He wanted to help her look for a stable job and allow her to have a stable ie and career path. That way, he would have peace of mind. However, Chen Haoter decided against it. He believed that would only make her hate him even more. Han Siyu snorted and said, ¡°What kind of reaction is this? Are you excited, agitated or remorseful?¡± Han Siyu looked at Chen Hao with interest. ¡°Nope, so how is she now? Is she doing well?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°You don''t have to worry about her. She is doing fine and in fact much better than you would ever imagine. She even told me that she will return to Jin Ling City and regain the things that she had lost!¡± ¡°She looked rather scary when she said that! When I asked her further about it, she wouldn''t tell me anything. Oh right, Chen Hao, why did Yang Xia choose to drop out back then?¡± Han Siyu still remembered that she was the one who passed the message along to Chen Hao. Back then Han Siyu had no interest in Chen Hao¡¯s matters but it was not the case anymore. Now, she was extremely curious. ¡°Oh it was nothing much, nothing special!¡± Chen Hao said with a bitter smile. She said she was going to reim what was hers, that just means she ns to take revenge on me. What did Yang Xia go through during this time? Chen Hao could not figure it out. However, at least he could be certain that Yang Xia was doing well and that was enough. ¡°It''s fine if you don''t want to talk about it! Anyway things will be in the open when she gets back!¡± Han Siyu said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, we should proceed outside! I have to prepare for the live stream this afternoon too!¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head in a daze and was going to head out. ¡°Oh right, Chen Hao, since I am going to help you this time around, I hope that you can agree to a request of mine as well!¡± Han Siyu stopped Chen Hao from leaving once more. ¡°What do you need?¡± ¡°I hope that you don''t marry other girls before I figure out who Ordinary Guy is. Can you do that? That is my only request!¡± Han Siyu bit her lip. She had no idea why she would say something like that as well. Is it because of my guess that Ordinary Guy is Chen Hao, making me fall in love with him? Han Siyu had no idea. She only knew that that was the thought going through her mind. What if Chen Hao is actually Ordinary Guy? What if by the time I have confirmed this and Chen Hao had already married, what should I do? Han Siyu did not wish to have such regrets thus she decided to put the request out there. As a matter of fact, she had no idea if she had fallen in love with Chen Hao. On the other hand, Chen Hao looked at Han Siyu in shock. ¡°Don''t take it the wrong way, I don''t love you. I just want to discover the truth!¡± Han Siyu said huffily. ¡°Alright! I promise you!¡± Chen Hao was feeling a little confused and his mind was distracted after hearing Yang Xia¡¯s name being brought up. Thus, he did not think much about it and agreed to Han Siyu¡¯s request. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . After all, that was better than admitting to her that he was Ordinary Guy. As such, the request of using her fanbase to look for Qin Ya was settled. Chen Hao returned downstairs with a lot on his mind. Ling Fei and Xiao Qiang followed him. Ling Fei was teasing and making fun of Xiao Qiang while staring at Chen Hao as she knew that Xiao Qiang had something he wanted to discuss with Chen Hao. However, Xiao Qiang did not dare to do so. ¡°Xiao Qiang, it''s okay. Just bring it up to Chen Hao!¡± Zhao Tongtong quickly said as she could not stand it anymore. Only then did Chen Hao react. He turned around to face him and said, ¡°Anything I can help you with?¡± ¡°Brother Chen Hao, I have something that I need your help with. Could you help me?¡± Xiao Qiang had looked down on Chen Hao at the start but since Chen Hao showed up driving a G Wagon, Xiao Qiang was stunned. ¡°Oh, tell me what you need!¡± ¡°My sister works in a car rentalpany. She needs to rent a G Wagon for this month and she is one short of her target. If she does not achieve her target, she might be fired. Thus, I decided to ask you for help since I saw that you are driving a G Wagon. Could you rent your car to my sister¡¯spany for three days? Just for three days and my sister will pay the rental fee!¡± Xiao Qiang said. Chen Hao understood what he needed help with. Somepanies specialized in such services such as renting out cars needed for movie shoots and the like. There would also be a rental agreement to be signed. That way, if anything happened to the car, the owner did not have to take responsibility. All fees were also not the owner¡¯s responsibility. The owner only had to rent out his car for a few days and earn around twenty thousand just like that. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s just that? Alright then, I will rent it to your sister!¡± Chen Hao said with a casual smile. Xiao Qiang had also helped him today. Furthermore, Chen Hao saw that Xiao Qiang was rather concerned about his sister. Chen Haouded this behaviour as he had a sister of his own as well. If Chen Hao¡¯s sister was facing any troubles, Chen Hao would without a doubt also do anything to help her. ¡°Brother Chen Hao, thank you so much! I will give a call to my sister right now and ask her toe over to sign the contract with you!¡± Xiao Qiang said in excitement. Once the contract was signed, Zhao Tongtong and the rest of them returned to their families to seek help. Chen Hao also requested some help from Li Zhenguo and the rest of his team. No matter what, Chen Hao had to figure out what happened to Qin Ya. Otherwise, Chen Hao would not be at ease for the rest of his life. Very soon, it was dusk. Chen Hao had also been up and running the entire day. He was tired and hungry. Thus, he arrived at a restaurant for a quick meal. ¡°What do you all mean by this? Am I just a third wheel? Was I that unbearable?¡± Just as Chen Hao was having his meal, he heard a group of people from a nearby table arguing. Chen Hao turned his head around and saw that two girls and one guy were involved in the argument. Between them, a guy and a girl were seated at the same table and having a meal together whereas the other girl clearly arrived muchter. The scenario was akin to the situation where one party was caught cheating. The girl that was standing was screaming and yelling at the two of them who were seated. ¡°I have spent so much time and effort on you! Which part of me is not good enoughpared to her? You used to love me, didnt you? I thought you loved me! Why are you together with her?¡± The girl continued screaming. Usually, Chen Hao would only take a quick nce as he was not bothered by such situations that were However, this time around Chen Hao stared at what was going on. That was because the girl was none other than Chen Lin. The other two people that were seated were also none other than Ding Hao and Li Shihan. Oh right, I heard Li Wenyang mention this during the gathering. Li Shihan and Ding Hao are dating. Obviously Chen Lin is going to go bonkers. After all, she loves Ding Hao as well. A loud p could be heard. Chen Lin who was still screaming and shouting suddenly received a p on her face. Li Shihan was the one that pped her. She stood up and with an icy cold stare said, ¡°Chen Lin, that''s enough! Are you crazy?¡± Chapter 231 Incoming Shock Chapter 231 Iing Shock ¡°Li Shihan, you actually dare to hit me? Ding Hao, this b*tch actually hit me! Did you not see this?¡± Chen Lin covered her face and asked. Ding Hao turned his head to the side to show his nonchnt attitude. ¡°Fine! I must have been blind!¡± Chen Lin scolded for a while more and then ran out while crying. Li Shihan also threw her chopsticks to the side. It was clear that after such an incident, she was no longer in the mood to enjoy the food. Soon after, she left together with Ding Hao. I did not expect these two best friends to argue and end up in this state. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Chen Hao eventually understood what happened after watching what transpired. The truth is that both Chen Lin and Li Shihan had their eyes on Ding Hao¡¯s property. After all, Ding Hao who used to be poor had long been friends with them and always hung out by their side. Throughout that period, both girls were never that friendly and nice to him. However now that Ding Hao had properties and personal connections, all of a sudden he became handsome and mature in their eyes. Sigh, nobody else understands this feeling more than I do. I wonder how they would feel when the two of them realize that everything Ding Hao has now was given by me? Chen Hao smiled helplessly. He also left after finishing his meal. ¡°Hey, my grandson! Hang on a minute!¡± Just as Chen Hao exited the restaurant, an old man lying by the entrance of the restaurant clung onto his legs. ¡°Damn! What are you doing?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. ¡°My grandson, since you could afford to enter such a restaurant for a meal, you must be rich. Give me some money, I haven''t had food to eat for a few days!¡± This old beggar said while hugging onto Chen Hao¡¯s legs. This old beggar had white hair and looked disheveled. Now he hugged Chen Hao¡¯s legs and looked like he was not going to let go until Chen Hao gave him some money. Chen Hao was helpless. Thus, he took out his wallet and gave a hundred dors to the old beggar. Hehe, he¡¯s so rich! The old beggar quickly pocketed the money but he was still hugging onto Chen Hao¡¯s legs. ¡°What''s wrong with you?¡± Chen Hao snapped as he also got a little angry. ¡°My grandson, I have another favor. Could you send me to the hospital? I want to get my legs treated!¡± The old beggar said. ¡°Damn! How old and frail are you? Are you trying to scam me?¡± Chen Hao was speechless. The old man said, ¡°Who is an old beggar? I am just in trouble alright?¡± By now, there were many passersby that formed a crowd around them. They pointed their fingers and made a lot ofments about the situation. Chen Hao felt that he was really unlucky. Not only that, this old man constantly addressed Chen Hao as his grandson. Therefore, Chen Hao had no choice but to send him to the clinic on the opposite street. Just as the old traditional chinese medicine practitioner was looking at the old man¡¯s legs, Chen Hao paid the bills while ring grudgingly at him. Only then did Chen Hao realize there was a tattoo on the old man¡¯s chest. The tattoo was in the shape of the head of a dragon. The dragon looked malicious as if it was going to swallow everything in this universe. Could it be that this old beggar was really a hero that got into trouble? Chen Hao thought. Maybe this old man used to be a powerful man. Well, what has this got to do with me. In total, Chen Hao spent a thousand dors on him. Normally, Chen Hao would not have been so kind- hearted as to save him. However, this time around Chen Hao had no choice as he was pestered by the old man. Chen Hao got ready to leave after ncing at him. Just then, an announcement came from the television in the clinic which had the Jin Ling news channel on. The announcement was about Qin Ya¡¯s disappearance. At the moment, the police had gotten involved and began their investigation. Clearly, Qin Ya¡¯s father had also requested the media to help look for his daughter. Chen Hao felt guilty as he saw this piece of news. ¡°Oh, this young girl is rather beautiful. Hopefully nothing bad happens to her. After all, nowadays there are all kinds of psychopaths and evil people.¡± ¡°Exactly, girls have to really know how to protect themselves well when they are outside!¡± A few of the patientsmented. ¡°I believe I have seen this youngdy a while back. She was alone and was blocked off by a few guys!¡± The old beggar lying on the bed said. As such, Chen Hao who had prepared to leave returned to the clinic. ¡°What did you say? You saw her before?¡± Chen Hao asked in a hurry. The old man grinned at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Yes, I saw her right outside Jin Ling Station. I believe it was around noon and she was alone. She left an impression on me as she looked rather fair, tall and beautiful. However, a few people came to pick her up and the group of people chatted with her. Soon after, she boarded their car in a hurry!¡± ¡°Why? Is she your friend?¡± The old man smiled and said. ¡°Yes!¡± Chen Hao nodded. He continued asking the old man for more details. Through the old man¡¯s descriptions, the youngdy he saw that day was really Qin Ya and the timeline matched as well. Once it was clear that Qin Ya disappeared from that location and that she was abducted, it would be a lot easier to investigate the matter. The old man hurriedly dragged Chen Hao back as he was about to leave. ¡°What else do you want?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°My grandson, you are a kind person. Could you tell me your name?¡± ¡°Chen Hao¡­¡± Chen Hao replied since he did offer such an important lead. ¡°Oh, your surname is really Chen? Could I take a look at your chest?¡± Agitation shed in the old man¡¯s eyes. Before Chen Hao could say anything, he came over and dragged Chen Hao by the cor. Chen Hao naturally resisted. However, for some reason the old man was very strong. He used a little more force and Chen Hao could no longer move his arm. The old man pulled his shirt open. Then, he frowned. ¡°Eh? This is weird, this shouldn''t be the case!¡± The old man said and released Chen Hao from his grip. Why is this old man so weird and sensitive! Chen Hao rubbed his wrist and thought. Chen Hao quickly sneaked away while the old man was still stunned and in a daze. At the same time, Chen Hao also updated Tian Long, Di Hu as well as Zhao Tongtong and the others over the phone. He believed it would not take long before Tian Long and Di Hu would dig out the truth. Chen Hao believed that this must be a kidnapping through false persuasion. He merely hoped that nothing happened to Qin Ya. As for the old man that he bumped into outside the restaurant entrance, Chen Hao felt a little surprised. It was also due to the fact that the old man just so happened to know what happened to Qin Ya. Therefore, all these made Chen Hao even more surprised as he felt that things were too coincidental!¡± However, Chen Hao chose to not overthink. As expected, Tian Long and Di Hu had managed to fully investigate the matter within an hour. Qin Ya was lied to and brought away. At the moment, she was detained at a luxurious residence area. She had been detained for two days. The spark of the entire incident came from a student named Li Yue. Li Yue owed the gangsters of Jin Ling City a huge sum of money, so he lied to Qin Ya and utilized her as coteral! F*ck! Chen Hao scolded. After that, he informed Tian Long and Di Hu to gather their men and move to rescue her. As a matter of fact, before Chen Hao even made the phone call, Tian Long and Di Hu¡¯s men had already gathered around the residence area. Chen Hao wanted to rush over immediately when he realized he had rented his G Wagon off. It made no sense to run back to the vi on Cloud Hill to retrieve another car. Fortunately, he was not far away from the residence area so he hailed a cab and rushed over in a hurry. Loud sounds of thunder could be heard and the sky got darker. Dark clouds formed and it started pouring. Chen Hao sent a message over to Zhao Tongtong before his phone battery ran out. He braved the rain and rushed towards Yunhua Community. In the meantime, over a hundred Maybachs appeared inside of Yun Hua Community. The cars blocked the roads and isted the entire residence area. They blocked off all four entrances so that nobody could get in or out. There were alsorge groups of men in ck suits. These men in ck all held ck umbres. They stood orderly next to their vehicles and the aura that radiated from them was very powerful. Many people within the residence area took out their phones and started filming from within the buildings. This was definitely worthy of making the headlines. Nobody had an idea what happened and which unlucky person offended a big shot. Either way, all the people around were astonished. At the same time, there was a group of guys and girls taking shelter from the rain in the entrance of a restaurant within Yun Hua Community. ¡°Ms Meng, it''s pouring so heavily and all the exits of themunity have been blocked off. We can''t leave!¡± One of the girls said. Another guy coughed and said, ¡°Why don''t we stay over at Ms Meng¡¯s house? Since Ms Meng has moved into a new house recently!¡± ¡°If it wasn''t for our teacher¡¯s request that we, the local students of Jin Ling,e over to help her move to her new house, we would not have been able to capture this scene with our very own eyes! All of the cars are Maybachs! Damn!¡± Most of the students were more stunned by the Maybachs that surrounded and blocked off the ¡°Ah? Tutor, take a look. Why does the person in the cab look so familiar?¡± One of the girls looked on in admiration and respect. She suddenly screamed as she saw the guy that came into themunity on the cab. Chapter 232 His Identity Was Exposed Chapter 232 His Identity Was Exposed ¡°Damn, isn''t that Chen Hao?¡± A boy recognized Chen Hao from the cab window. ¡°Yeah, it''s really him. God, it''s raining so hard. Where is he going on his bike?¡± ¡°Didn''t he win the lottery? Haha, I thought he would change his bike. I didn''t expect it to be still so shabby!¡± ¡°That''s right! All of us in our ss know that he has won the lottery. I even secretly had a crush on him before, haha!¡± A group of girls began to gossip. This group of boys and girls were Chen Hao''s college ssmates, and there were more than a dozen of them here. As for Miss Meng, naturally, it was Meng Cairu. Today, Meng Cairu was moving out from the teacher apartment to her new house in Yunhua Community¡ªa high-endmunity¡ªwhich cost about 25,000. Meng Cairu had been managing her own online shop on the side while being a university tutor. Plus, she even managed a small side business online. Besides, since she had Han Siyu helping her to promote her shop, she had also earned a fortune. Therefore, she decided to buy a new house with 3 bedrooms and 2 halls. Naturally she would ask her students to help her with the moving. Therefore, she had asked every student who was staying in Jin Ling to help her. At that moment, when Meng Cairu saw Chen Hao, who came on his bike, her heart skipped a beat for no reason Like Han Siyu, she also had feelings for Ordinary Guy. Therefore, she was very sensitive to Chen Hao, who was likely to be Ordinary Guy. Since it was raining, Chen Hao rode slowly although he was in a hurry. At this time, there were already three cars that passed by Chen Hao and went to the gate of Yunhua Community. Those who came down from the first two cars were Zhao Tongtong and Qin Ya''s parents. As for thest car, it was Du Yue and Han Siyu, who were holding their mobile broadcast equipment. Chen Hao told Zhao Tongtong about what happened. Naturally, Zhao Tongtong informed Qin Ya''s parents about it. As for why there were so many people blocking themunity now, it may be because Tian Long and Di Hu were trying to stop anyone from entering the scene while they were teaching those guys a lesson. It seemed that Qin Ya must have been saved by Tian Long and Di Hu by now. ¡°Stop right there! What are you doing here?¡± The bodyguards blocked Zhao Shanshan and her friends when they wanted to get closer. Qin Ya''s parents quickly begged to let them in. As soon as the bodyguard heard that they were the parents of the girl they saved, they respectfully let everyone in. ¡°Siyu, we are here! Siyu!¡± Some girls saw Han Siyu and hurriedly called her toe over. Han Siyu obviously didn''t expect to meet so many ssmates here, and she went over with Du Yue. ¡°Siyu, you are so great! They won¡¯t let anyone in, so why do they let you in? Besides, do you know what is happening here?¡± Han Siyu was actually terrified to see such a big scene. ¡°There was a girl who got kidnapped. We came here when we got the news and I didn''t expect so many people woulde to save her!¡± A girl asked, ¡°Ah? Who is that girl? Her parents don¡¯t seem to be the people those bodyguards work for.¡± Meng Cairu also looked at Han Siyu curiously. Han Siyu shook her head, ¡°I am not sure. It''s Chen Hao who told us that the girl has been saved and she had no injuries besides being a little shocked from the incident. Now, she is in Yunhua Community! ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Meng Cairu asked in shock. ¡°Well, this girl is Chen Hao''s friend. Chen Hao asked me to help him find her!¡± As Han Siyu said, it seemed that she had realized something. Meng Cairu and Han Siyu looked at each other for a while. They were both surprised. ¡°Haha, Everybody look! That drowned rat Chen Hao has just arrived!¡± "Look at him. Doesn¡¯t he look pathetic? Really, Xiao Yun, didn''t you say that you liked Chen Hao just now? Go and confess to him!¡± ¡°Can you just go away? Only a fool would confess to him!¡± The crowd mocked happily. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Suddenly, the bodyguards, who were all dressed in ck and holding ck umbres, shouted in unison. Their voice was so loud it seemed that the wholemunity was shaking a little. Two bodyguards ran over and held the umbre above Chen Hao''s head. Chen Hao wiped the rain on his face and got off from his yellow bike. Another bodyguard immediately gave him a white towel. The bodyguard said, ¡°Young Master Chen, we have saved the girl. But, she has fainted from the shock. Besides that, she has suffered no other injuries as she was just under house arrest¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°I am relieved then! Let¡¯s go in and have a look!¡± The weight on Chen Hao¡¯s heart had finally lightened. He then walked ahead. The bodyguards at the door stood in two rows respectfully, and they all looked at Chen Hao with their umbres in their hands. Several other bodyguards at the other gate had alsoe over after they had heard the order to retreat. They also stood at both sides of the road respectfully after they saw Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± As soon as the bodyguards arrived at the scene, they immediately bowed and shouted in sync. Their loud voices stunned Qin Ya''s parents, Zhao Tongtong and her friends, who were just about to enter themunity. They immediately turned around and looked at Chen Hao in shock. ¡°Young Master Chen?¡± ¡°C-C-Chen Hao is actually Young Master Chen?¡± spluttered Zhao Tongtong and the other girls. His identity was exposed. Chen Hao didn''t have much concern about exposing his identity to Zhao Tongtong and her friends. He had nothing to be afraid of. However, when Chen Hao turned his head, he was surprised to see Han Siyu, Meng Cairu, and his ssmates all gawking at him. Why are all of them here? Chen Hao felt embarrassed. But now, saving Qin Ya was more important. At this moment, Zhao Zixing came out of the building and said respectfully, ¡°Young Master Chen, you are here!¡± ¡°I have found out everything. It is the doing of a man named Li Yue who colluded with the underground forces of Jin Ling. Shen Kai, the young master of the Shen Family, had put Miss Qin Ya under house arrest. Fortunately, nothing serious happened. As for the reason behind this abduction, Li Yue is in debt with Shen Kai, and Shen Kai proposed to take Miss Qin Ya as the hostage. He threatened Li Yue to pay the debt within three days, or else he would force himself on Miss Qin Ya!¡± Zhao Zixing exined to Chen Hao. Just as Shen Kai was about to make a move, he was thrown from the upper floor by Tian Long and Di Hu. He fell on the ground, unconscious. This was the reason why they had blocked themunity. As for Li Zhenguo, he had gone to pressure the Shen Family. Basically, that was the whole story. Chen Hao ignored Zhao Tongtong, Meng Cairu, Han Siyu and the others. He went in and had a look. After Qin Ya, who had not awoken yet, was taken away by the ambnce, only then did Chen Hao felt This time, Zhao Tongtong, Meng Cairu, and the rest all went over to Chen Hao when he hade out of the building. Looking at Chen Hao, they suddenly felt that he was a stranger. ¡°My God, Chen Hao is the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling! Oh God! Just let me kill myself!¡± The girl named Xiao Yun bit her lip regretfully, let alone the other girls and boys. Meng Cairu and Han Siyu couldn¡¯t even catch their breath. It turns out that the person who has been helping me is actually Chen Hao! The rich young master who I have been searching so hard for is actually in my own ss. Not to mention that we are actually so close! As for Han Siyu, the mobile phone in her hand fell to the ground. Her brain waspletely nk now. Chen Hao took a breath and walked forward to pick up Han Siyu''s mobile phone and returned it to her. Chen Hao gave a faint smile and asked, ¡°I didn''t expect you all to be here. Tutor, what are you guys doing here today?¡± A girl blushed and said, ¡°We were helping Young Master Chen to move... Oh no, no, no! We were helping Miss Meng to move into her new house! We have just finished moving and she is treating us to dinner!¡± Chen Hao said, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s great. Get into my car. I will send all of you back! ¡± Immediately, the bodyguard opened the car door. Chen Hao sat into the car and left first... He didn¡¯t know what to say if he continued to stay there... Shivering, Han Siyu looked at Chen Hao''s leaving figure and said, ¡°It¡¯s really him!¡± Just then, three or two girls also walked out of the building. ¡°Lin, don''t be sad. Look! What''s going on in themunity today? Why are there so many people?¡± Seeing the scene in front of her, a girl hurriedly tugged the girl named Lin, who was distracted and had obviously cried just now. Chapter 233 Making Ding Hao Regret Chapter 233 Making Ding Hao Regret ¡°That¡¯s right, there are so many luxury cars!¡± Chen Lin was surprised as well to see so many luxury cars. Every Maybach was worth a house here. Whoever could marry into such a rich family would be greatly envied. Sigh, I can be considered pretty too! Too bad that Ding Hao doesn¡¯t even like me and chose that b*tch Li Shihan over me. What does she have? She¡¯s only good at pretending! This girl here was no other than Chen Lin, who was sharing a room with her female colleague. Seeing the scene in front of her, she couldn''t help feeling envious. Many girls at the scene also left withplicated feelings. As for Li Yue, he was taken away by the police. On the second day, Chen Hao went to the hospital to visit Qin Ya. ¡°Chen Hao, thank you for saving me!¡± After Qin Ya had woken up, her parents naturally told her about what happened yesterday. ¡°Not at all! It''s all my fault. I didn''t take good care of you!¡± Chen Hao med himself. Qin Ya looked at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Chen Hao, are you the one who saved my mother? Because Li Yue told the police that he lied to me when he told me that he saved my mother. I wouldn¡¯t have gotten into his car if he didn¡¯t threaten me with my mother¡¯s illness.¡± Qin Ya was very surprised when her father told her that Chen Hao was actually Young Master Chen. She was stunned. Chen Hao nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± There was nothing to hide since she knew everything now. ¡°Why are you so dense? Why didn''t you tell me? Do you know there was a time that I considered dating Li Yue? If I were with him, I¡¯d be doomed!¡± Qin Ya gently pinched Chen Hao''s arm. ¡°I know. You''re afraid that I''ll pester you, aren''t you?¡± Qin Ya looked at Chen Hao with red eyes. ¡°I know now why you don''t want to be with me. You are the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling. Your identity is very noble. How can you ept a girl like me? Haha, I am just ttering myself.¡± Chen Hao answered honestly, ¡°No, I''m not what you think. I can''t fall for other girls as I''m already with Tongxin!¡± ¡°Oh, I know. It doesn''t matter. After this incident, I realized that the feelings I had for you were not really love. I was just moved because I thought you had given me the most precious thing you had. Now only do I know that it''s not even a drop in the bucket for you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s good this way. I feel relieved too. Chen Hao, I wish you and Tongxin happiness!¡± Qin Ya said with a hearty smile. Chen Hao was relieved to see that she seemed to have let it go. ¡°Well, we are good buddies now, so as long as you need something, I will certainly help you!¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. To be honest, Chen Hao felt remorseful when he was with Qin Ya as he had stood her up many times before. And now, he had just put her in a dangerous situation he barely managed to save her from. Therefore, Chen Hao was not only being courteous by saying that. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll remember what you say. I''ll ask for your help when I am in trouble!¡± ¡°Sure. You get some rest first. I''ll go to the restaurant and buy some porridge for you!¡± Chen Hao stood up and went out. Looking at his back, the smile on Qin Ya¡¯s face gradually disappeared. She twisted her quilt hard. Chen Hao almost bumped into someone just as he walked out with Qin Ya''s lunch box. ¡°Hey! Are you blind? Watch where you are going!¡± A girl, who had a drip connected to her arm, scolded Chen Hao immediately. There was another girl beside her holding the drip bottle. ¡°I am sorry, I am not... Eh? Chen Lin?¡± Chen Hao looked at the girl and thought, isn¡¯t this Chen Lin? ¡°Chen Hao? Why are you here?¡± Chen Lin also asked in shock. In fact, Chen Lin¡¯s roommates apanied Chen Lin to get her infusion. It was raining when Chen Lin came backst night, and she felt under the weather after having a fight with Ding Hao and Li Shihan. Therefore, she had a high feverter on. Moreover, there was a blockade by a fleet of cars in their housing area yesterday. A lot of police cars also cameter that night, so they didn¡¯t manage to get out at that time. Her roommates thought that she would recover overnight. However, when they woke up this morning, they realized that her fever got worse. Therefore, they quickly sent her to the hospital. Just when she got a bit better after getting an infusion, unexpectedly, she was nearly hit by Chen Hao. Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°My friend was admitted to the hospital so I am helping her to get some porridge.¡± At this moment, the other girl looked at Chen Hao in disdain and said, ¡°Oh, Chen Lin, I know, isn¡¯t he Chen Hao, the rich young master¡¯s side-kick from your ss that you told us about?¡± Chen Lin was embarrassed and said, ¡°Hey, Qian! Watch what you are talking about!¡± ¡°Isn''t he the one that became a side-kick for the young master? It seems that he is doing his job well. He is even going to help them buy some porridge now!¡± The girl smirked. Chen Lin¡¯s face was pale and red from embarrassment. Her friend, Qian¡¯s character was very straightforward. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. She was much meanerpared to Chen Lin. It was true that Chen Lin was the one who told her that. However, due to the event that happened at the Yunmeng Mountain¡¯s celebration, she witnessed Chen Hao¡¯s true power. She was almost scared to death back then and she even insisted on giving Chen Hao some milk tea. She even thought about pursuing Chen Hao. Therefore, she and Li Shihan had both made a guess on Chen Hao¡¯s identity. They wondered why he mixed well with the rich young masters, and they even treated him respectfully. However, she heard Ding Hao had inquired from somewhere else that Chen Hao was actually not as powerful as he seemed. In fact, he was someone else''s sick-kick. He even helped to look after the other¡¯s house! Anyway, Chen Lin and Li Shihan believed in what Ding Hao said. But she had decided to treat Chen Hao better after that since he was quite close with some of the rich young masters. With this thought of hers, along with her misbehaviour at the Yunmeng Mountain celebration which gave Ding Hao a bad impression of her, Ding Hao decided to turn to Li Shihan and got close to her. Damn, Li Shihan was too shocked to even react at that moment. The one who looked down on Chen Hao the most was Li Shihan. No doubt that she was stunned with guilt when she learnt that Chen Hao¡¯s connections were better than Ding Hao¡¯s. It was just that b*tch didn¡¯t show her astonishment, unlike how Chen Lin did. However, Chen Lin also found out that it wasn¡¯t practical to please Chen Hao solely because of his wide connections. After all, Chen Hao had nothing while Ding Hao had his family property and shops. He even arranged a better job for Li Shihan. That was more practical! Therefore, Chen Lin couldn¡¯t say anything good about Chen Hao to her friend. At that moment, Chen Lin said in embarrassment, ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t listen to her rubbish. Oh ya, where are your rich friends?¡± Although she still looked down on Chen Hao, who ran errands and guarded the door for others, in her heart, she still thought that it was good enough for him to be considered a somebody since he knew some of the rich young masters. Chen Hao said, ¡°Oh, they are having fun at Hainan now.¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t take you with them?¡± Chen Lin asked tentatively. ¡°Why would they bring me along?¡± Chen Hao answered with a bitter smile. Those rich young masters liked to spend their money to enjoy life. As for him, he liked to live an ordinary life. Therefore, usually, they wouldn¡¯t hang out together. They would just have some drinks together on some special asions. Chen Lin curled her lips. It seems that they did not bother to bring you along. They separated after a simple chat. Qian said, ¡°Haha, that''s him right? I think he''s kind of handsome. It would be great if he isn¡¯t poor. I''ll definitely go after him! It¡¯s too bad¡­¡± Chen Lin rolled her eyes at her friend and said, ¡°Well, if he really is a rich young master, he would be mine already and you won¡¯t even have a chance. Sigh, I actually thought of pursuing him a few days ago. I¡¯m ok with the fact that he''s just a follower of the rich young masters. With those rich people supporting him, I could have paid Ding Hao back for what he had done to me, and make him regret choosing Li Shihan over me. He is really sensitive when ites to Chen Hao. If Ding Hao was provoked, he would definitelye back to me! In that case, I can be with Ding Hao and then he will be mine for the rest of my life!¡± ¡°It''s too bad that those rich young masters have gone to Hainan for vacation. Look at him now! He looks so shabby again! Ding Hao knows about Chen Hao¡¯s background, so it¡¯s impossible for me to make Ding Hao regret rejecting me!¡± Chen Lin said gloomily. Qian pped her head and said, ¡°Ah! Chen Lin, I know! What you have just said made mee up with a n to make Ding Hao kneel in front of you and beg you to be with him!¡± ¡°What is the n?¡± Chen Lin asked immediately. Chapter 234 Let Chen Hao Act Like a Rich Young Master Chapter 234 Let Chen Hao Act Like a Rich Young Master At that moment, Chen Hao was ordering some porridge to go in the hospital cafeteria. ¡°Chen Hao, you haven¡¯t eaten yet right? Come now, I have bought some delicious food. Let us eat together.¡± At this moment, Chen Lin came in with a bag of food, and she even gave Chen Hao a tap on his shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s alright. Aren¡¯t you still on drips? Why did youe to the cafeteria?¡± asked Chen Hao as he smiled. He did not know why Chen Lin was suddenly acting so friendly toward him, but he wasn¡¯t really used to it. Although she did mock him on numerous asions, Chen Hao did not bear any grudges toward her. At that moment, he talked to her in a courteous manner. ¡°I am already better. I became better after I saw you. You really are my best medicine!¡± Chen Lin gave Chen Hao a flirtatious smile. She sat closer to Chen Hao and seemed to be rubbing against his arm. Chen Hao felt goosebumps rise all over his body. To be honest, Chen Lin was an arts student. She was the Captain of the Latin Dance team, and her This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. face and figure were very beautiful. In addition to that, she was more alluringpared to Li Shihan. In short, she was considered a captivating youngdy. However, she wasn¡¯t that friendly toward him when they met each other at the staircase just now. How did she suddenly be such an affectionate person within the span of half an hour. Moreover, wasn¡¯t she a bit over passionate? ¡°Is there something on your mind, Chen Lin?¡± asked Chen Hao. ¡°Oh my God, don¡¯t ask me anymore questions first. I ran downstairs personally to buy you something to eat. What¡¯s so good about the meal they serve in the cafeteria? Furthermore, it is very expensive as well. By the way, take a look at this.¡± In addition to the roast chicken, drinks and various other dishes she had bought for Chen Hao, there was even a piping hot egg pancake in her hands. ¡°I know you love to eat egg pancakes the most. I still remember when we were in high school back then, you usually ate steamed buns and pickles. It was only during the weekends that you bought some egg pancakes for yourself with that meagre amount of money that you saved. I bought some for you since I saw someone selling it on the streets.¡± Chen Lin pulled Chen Hao over to a seat and sat down together. Chen Hao was tempted when he saw the egg pancakes. When he was poor back then in high school, he really thought that the best food in the world was egg pancakes. Although he did not know what Chen Lin was up to, he was too embarrassed to ignore her and leave immediately after seeing that she was acting so friendly toward him. Moreover, she even bought him so many things. In addition to that, she was a teacher at Hope Elementary School which he founded. Hence, he had to take care of her in the future, so he shouldn¡¯t feel embarrassed that she was treating him to a meal. However, it was mainly because it was hard to reject her offer. ¡°Come, eat it up while it is still hot. There are roast chicken and pancakes here. Put the porridge down first. I am going to tell you somethingter after you have finished your meal.¡± Chen Lin pushed the food in front of Chen Hao. Then, she propped up her face with her hands and looked at Chen Hao with a smile. Chen Hao ate the food. ¡°What¡¯s up? Tell me.¡± Chen Hao thought to himself that Chen Lin must have turned over a new leaf. If this was true, then Chen Hao would not forget their friendship with each other. He would help her out wherever he could. ¡°Hehehe, I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a day, just for tomorrow. I will remember this favor for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°What?¡± Chen Hao was so terrified that he nearly threw his pancakes away. He had to pretend to be somebody else¡¯s boyfriend again? To be honest, Chen Hao had already pretended to be the boyfriend of several girls already. Hence, he had already flirted with his fair share of girls. After all, he could never be with them, so why should he pretend to be their boyfriends? So, Chen Hao was quite sensitive toward this topic. Because Chen Hao was afraid that somebody would want him to fake a marriage with them in the future instead, and that would be very troublesome indeed. ¡°Why are you so afraid? It¡¯s just for a day. Please, I beg of you. Just help me put on a show, ok?¡± Chen Lin drew circles on the back of Chen Hao¡¯s hands as she pleaded with him. ¡°Is this because of Ding Hao?¡± Chen Hao instantly knew what Chen Lin was thinking. It turned out that there was no free lunch in this world. You still needed to repay back any favors you owed. Moreover, love did not happen without a reason. ¡°Yes, I want you to help me put on a show to make him angry. Then, he will change his mind. Ding Hao is a narrow-minded person, and he is very narcissistic. Hence, he will absolutely not tolerate me being in a rtionship with someone far more superior than him,¡± said Chen Lin with a smile. ¡°Why did you pick me then? I bet it wouldn¡¯t make him angry, instead he wouldugh himself to death. I am not as outstanding as he is. See how awesome Ding Hao is. His family is responsible for the development of Yunmeng Mountain, and they are setting up several shops there. He would be a very powerful person in the future,¡± said Chen Hao intentionally. ¡°Of course I know you can¡¯t hold a candle to him, that is why you are the perfect candidate. Chen Hao, did you know that he is quite sensitive to you as you had an ambiguous rtionship with that b*tch, Li Shihan back in high school? Furthermore, you embarrassed him in front of everyone else on a few asions. If you can appear in front of him with another identity, he will definitely be envious of you. Then, he would regret his decision of not choosing me. By that time, your job is done! Hence, you are the best candidate for this job.¡± Chen Lin was full of confidence. This idea was obviously hatched out by her best friend. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t a rich Young Master, but they could make him look like one. ¡°Wait a moment, did you say that you want me to change my identity? What did you mean by that?¡± asked Chen Hao doubtfully. ¡°I want you to pretend to be a rich Young Master. As to how you got rich, just tell him that you won the lottery. In short, you just have to pretend to be richer than him. Besides, you know how to drive a car, right? I have already rented a luxury car. Hmph! As long as you follow my best friend¡¯s instructions and mine as well, we can make him look like a fool tomorrow.¡± ¡°So, all the preparations are in ce now. I just need you. Furthermore, I have already rented the car. Please say yes,¡± begged Chen Lin. It seemed that Chen Lin had to pay a huge price in order to get Ding Hao¡¯s love back. Since she already put it this way, Chen Hao really did not know how to refuse her anymore. Originally, he wanted to say goodbye to Qin Ya tomorrow. Apart from that, since the rental date for his car was due tomorrow, he could drive the car back to Ping An County. It seemed that his n had to be dyed by a day. ¡°Ok, I will help you out.¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Hurray!¡± Chen Lin smiled excitedly. ¡°Then, how do you know that we will definitely bump into Ding Hao tomorrow?¡± asked Chen Hao. ¡°Hmph! We will definitely meet each other, don¡¯t you worry. We¡¯ll gather at the hospital entrance tomorrow then. I wille to pick you up.¡± After Chen Hao finished his meal, he followed Chen Lin back. She was so excited that her fever had subsided. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but wonder if this was the power of love. Could love really make a girl go mad? Or was this the power of money? He couldn¡¯t help but sigh. If something happened and his identity was exposed, then would Li Shihan change her mind about him? After all, Chen Hao definitely saw through Li Shihan¡¯s true personality. He went back to feed Qin Ya some porridge. The day passed by uneventfully. The next morning, Chen Hao followed their agreement and was waiting for Chen Lin at the park beside the hospital. He was there early. At this moment, a brand new, shy white Mercedes Benz G500 appeared and stopped directly in front of Chen Hao. Then, the windows were wound down. Chen Lin and her best friend were in the car. Chen Lin said, ¡°Chen Hao, I never expected you to be this punctual. First, change into your suit quickly, then I will bring you to the hairdresser for a new hairstyle for you.¡± ¡°Hey, Chen Hao, what are you daydreaming for? Are you shocked by such a fine car? Get into the car quickly. My treat.¡± What the f*ck! Of course Chen Hao was shocked. Because the G Wagon looked very familiar. Chapter 235 Chen Hao Flaunts His Wealth for the First Time Chapter 235 Chen Hao unts His Wealth for the First Time ¡°Is this the car that you rented?¡± After Chen Hao got into the car, he realized that it was his G Wagon that he had rented to Xiao Qiang¡¯s sister Wang XiaoZhang. He thought to himself that this was such a coincidence. ¡°Hmph, although you are acquainted with that group of rich young masters, I can see that they don¡¯t really hang out with you. So, you have never had the experience of sitting in this kind of luxury car, right?¡± said Chen Lin proudly. She was driving the car quite smoothly. ¡°This car is worth two million, and it is brand new. Do you know how much the rental is per day? We paid a hundred thousand for the deposit alone, and that''s already all of our savings!¡± said Chen Lin¡¯s best friend at that moment. Of course, she did not forget to take a few video recordings with her phone in the car. ¡°Lin, can you open the sunroof of the car? I want to take some pictures,¡± said her best friend at this moment. ¡°Ok, I will open it for you. However, please be careful as we have to pay the penalty should there be a single scratch on the car!¡± Chen Lin reminded her best friend as she reached her hands out to press the automatic switch to open the sunroof. ¡°Hey! How could the automatic switch of the sunroof be that button? This is a two-way switch. Don¡¯t you know this?¡± said Chen Hao in a panic at this moment. It was a newly rented car after all. Therefore, it was normal that they did not know certain things. Chen Hao was seated just behind them. He felt really distressed when he saw Chen Lin¡¯s long fingernails fumbling around the car console. Dumbfounded by her actions, Chen Hao decided to tell her the location of the automatic switch for the sunroof. She tried, and it turned out that Chen Hao was right. ¡°What the f*ck! Chen Hao, you are right! You really have a way with this car.¡± Then, Chen Lin added, ¡°Well, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised since you were really interested in cars back in high school. It seems that you did your research,¡± Chen Hao only smiled bitterly and nodded his head. At that moment, Chen Lin¡¯s best friend stuck her head out of the sunroof and started taking pictures. Later on, Chen Lin and her best friend took Chen Hao to the salon and gave him a new hairstyle. Following that, they made Chen Hao put on a suit, white shirt, leather shoes and the likes. After a makeover session, Chen Hao was undeniably handsome. Even Chen Lin who had high taste in men couldn¡¯t resist giving him a second nce. ¡°Where are we going now?¡± asked Chen Hao at this moment. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the cafe just beside the Jin Ling Hotel. By the way, Chen Hao, I have something to remind you. Since you are already acquainted with Young Master Bai and the rest of them, I reckon that you already had some contact with those rich young masters. However, the role of a rich young master you are pretending today is different from theirs. You became rich overnight, so you need to act like an arrogant, obstinate young master with an unruly behavior just because you have all the money in the world. Only then can you scare Ding Hao. Do you understand the meaning of parvenu?¡± asked Chen Lin. ¡°Huh? I don¡¯t think I have to act that way just because I became rich overnight, right?¡± asked Chen Hao with a bitter smile. If I were to be rich overnight, Chen Hao thought to himself, then you wouldn¡¯t waste your efforts to pursue Ding Hao anymore. ¡°Sigh, just follow my instructions and listen to Wei Xue¡¯s directions as well. She will help you out.¡± Wei Xue was obviously Chen Lin¡¯s best friend. There was nothing more that Chen Hao could say. So, he only nodded his head. When they reached the cafe, Chen Lin immediately got into character. She gently held onto Chen Hao¡¯s arms and leaned against him as they walked in. The moment they entered, Chen Hao noticed that Ding Hao and Li Shihan were drinking coffee at a corner of the cafe. Chen Hao was filled with admiration for Chen Lin as the information that she gathered was really urate. Then, Chen Lin led Chen Hao toward the seat beside Ding Hao and Li Shihan. At this moment, Li Shihan lifted her head and happened to see the scene in front of her. She was stunned in that instant. ¡°Sir, Miss, do you want to drink anything?¡± At this moment, the waiter came over. He cast Chen Hao and Chen Lin a look of admiration when he saw that they were dressed in formal attire. ¡°What is the most expensive coffee you have here? I want to drink the most expensive one today!¡± Following Chen Lin¡¯s instructions to act like a parvenu, Chen Hao sat down and crossed one leg over the other as he uttered those words. ¡°Huh? The most expensive one? Sir, the most expensive coffee we have here is three hundred a cup¡­¡± The waiter was surprised. ¡°So what if it is three hundred? It¡¯s not that expensive. Give me two cups then!¡± ¡°Ok sir, please wait a moment.¡± The waiter bowed and left. On the other hand, when Chen Lin saw Chen Hao arrogantly unting his wealth and shaking the watch on his wrist from time to time, she felt amused. Moreover, she found it peculiar that N?velDrama.Org content. unexpectedly, Chen Hao could look that handsome! At this moment, Ding Hao obviously noticed Chen Hao and Chen Lin who were sitting beside him. His face turned dark when he heard that Chen Hao had ordered a coffee that cost three hundred. Especially since Chen Lin looked very close to him. This made Ding Hao jealous. He thought to himself, In the past, there was a beautiful girl who was always by my side, and I really enjoyed everything that she did for me. Even if I weren¡¯t in a rtionship with her, it would be a great satisfaction to my ego to know that she is still in love with me. Anybody in my shoes would think that way. However, he did not expect Chen Lin to find a new love interest so quickly. Furthermore, it happened to be Chen Hao whom he disliked! m! At that moment, Ding Hao mmed his coffee down on the table and said coldly, ¡°Hmph! Why are you pretending to be a rich guy? Do you think you can unt your wealth just because of that meager amount of money you have? Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know your background! Why are you being so pretentious?!¡± On the other hand, Li Shihan nced at Chen Hao and Chen Lin and tried to calm Ding Hao down. ¡°By the way Chen Hao, where are you bringing meter with that new car of yours? Can we go to the Jin Ling Commercial Street? I fancy a piece of clothing there. Will you buy it for meter? It¡¯s only three thousand! Pretty please!¡± Chen Lin said as she held Chen Hao¡¯s hands. ¡°Get lost, just look at your lowly self. How could a clothing that cost three thousand befit you?! Don¡¯t even mention anything that is less than six thousand. You should be embarrassed!¡± Like an expert, Chen Hao pped Chen Lin¡¯s hands away and even scolded her. Chen Lin did not expect that Chen Hao would look so handsome when he put on his parvenu act. So, she helplessly nodded her head in a cute manner. ¡°Hmph! Why are you acting so high and mighty? Aren¡¯t you just an errand boy?¡± Ding Hao was really jealous when he saw Chen Lin sticking closer to Chen Hao even after he scolded her. What the f*ck! What did Chen Hao have that made him think he could surpass me? ¡°It¡¯s alright, Ding Hao. Some people just like to unt themselves and talk big. Let¡¯s not bother about them.¡± Li Shihan couldn¡¯t help but open her mouth. ¡°Sigh! Chen Hao, some time ago we thought that you were an errand boy for those rich women, but it seems that we had the wrong impression of you. I could not believe that you went there and rub off on their luck. Haha, I never expected you to win so much money from the lottery!¡± Chen Lin saw that her ns finally had the effect that she wanted, so she grabbed Chen Hao¡¯s hands at the moment and said with admiration. ¡°What? You won the lottery?¡± Her words caught Ding Hao¡¯s full attention. ¡°Chen Hao, how much did you win?¡± On the other hand, Li Shihan looked fixedly at Chen Hao and asked anxiously. If it was only one or two million, Chen Lin, who had such high standards, wouldn''t stick to Chen Hao like this. So, it must be a huge sum! Besides, look at Chen Hao now, he was so generous with his money. Li Shihan was afraid that Chen Hao would surpass Ding Hao. If that came to pass, then she would really regret her decision. Hence, she was really anxious. ¡°It really was my lucky day. I did not expect that my luck would turn around, and I would get this unexpected windfall. As for the amount, it is not appropriate for me to reveal it to you guys. It really isn¡¯t appropriate at all, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Chen Hao looked at Li Shihan and smiled. At this moment, Chen Hao reached into the pocket of his pants to bring out his phone. However, due to his carelessness, his car key dropped out by ident. Ding Hao and Li Shihan saw it and their eyes widened. ¡°Is that a Mercedes-Benz G500 key?¡± Chapter 236 The Value of a Woman Chapter 236 The Value of a Woman ¡°Chen Hao, is this your new car?¡± asked Li Shihan in surprise at this moment. ¡°Yes, I got it a few days ago. It is my new vehicle.¡± Chen Hao casually threw his car keys on the table. This made Chen Lin excited and distressed at the same time. She was afraid that he would destroy the car keys, yet she was happy at the same time when she saw that Ding Hao¡¯s face looked very dark. ¡°By the way Ding Hao, I heard from Lin that you also bought a car for yourself, right? I haven¡¯t seen your car before. What model is it? Is it a BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz or Audi series? It should be worth at least one million!¡± Chen Hao looked at Ding Hao at this moment and smiled. ¡°Haha! Ding Hao bought a Passat for himself. It is worth around two hundred thousand, so how can it Ding Hao inhaled deeply as his hands started to tremble. ¡°A Passat, huh? Ding Hao, did you forget that you bought yourself a car?¡± asked Chen Hao with a smile. ¡°I buy whatever I want, it is none of your business. Don¡¯t act so smug just because you won the lottery,¡± said Ding Hao anxiously. ¡°Sigh! I am really lucky to be together with you, Chen Hao. Now, I can enjoy the rest of my life with you so you must treat me well. Moreover, you promised me to buy the clothes that I wanted today!¡± ¡°Sure, I will definitely buy it for you, but you have promised me as well to give me your ¡®first time¡¯ tonight. Hehe!¡± said Chen Hao with a smile as he grabbed Chen Lin¡¯s hands. Chen Lin wanted to give Chen Hao a p on his face when she heard his words. What the f*ck! Since when was this in the script? After all, they were on the subject of love. However, if you were to involve that kind of topic, Ding Hao would break down easily. Luckily, Chen Hao left a lot of room for imagination in his sentence. Chen Lin wanted to warn Chen Hao not to talk nonsense anymore. However, Ding Hao¡¯s face looked livid at the moment and even his mouth started to tremble. Chen Lin knew that Chen Hao¡¯s words must have provoked Ding Hao. ¡°You¡¯re so naughty! I hate you!¡± said Chen Lin shyly. ¡°No way! Chen Lin, how can you act this way? I will buy you whatever you want. Why would you give your ¡®first time¡¯ to this loser? You don¡¯t have to degrade yourself like that just because he won the lottery ticket!¡± said Ding Hao angrily as he stood up straightaway. ¡°Hmph! Ding Hao, what do you think you are calling my boyfriend a loser? Besides, he is my boyfriend after all. So what if I give him my ¡®first time¡¯? So what? Why are you so anxious about it?¡± Chen Lin didn¡¯t care where they were anymore as she rebutted Ding Hao¡¯s words. ¡°Chen Lin, I¡¯ve always thought that you were the kind of girl who is down-to-earth and minds her own manners. To be honest, the decision that I made to be together with Li Shihan instead of you was a tough process. I was really in a bind and was suffering because of it. Moreover, I was feeling really regretful as well. However, looking at you now, I don¡¯t feel guilty or regretful anymore. Shihan, let¡¯s go!¡± Ding Hao seemed to be throwing a fit as he tried to leave with Li Shihan. There was a sh of emotion in Chen Lin¡¯s eyes when she saw Ding Hao leaving. However, her greatest advantage was the fact that she knew Ding Hao¡¯s emotional state way better than Li Shihan did. Hence, she knew that Ding Hao was testing her to see whether she still liked him or not. If she regretted it now and apologized to Ding Hao, then it would surely be the end. At that moment, Chen Lin hugged Chen Hao affectionately, and pretended that she did not hear Ding Hao¡¯s words. ¡°Darling, I don¡¯t care how others see me. In short, I will treat you well in the future. Will you do that for me as well?¡± N?velDrama.Org content. Chen Hao followed through and embraced Chen Lin¡¯s waist, even giving her a slight pinch while at it. ¡°Of course!¡± Chen Hao wasn¡¯t stupid. There was no way he was giving up a free chance to take advantage of her. So, he started groping Chen Lin¡¯s body. Of course, Ding Hao had heard those words. At this moment, his face looked even darker before as he was dragged away by Li Shihan. ¡°What the f*ck! He is already gone, so stop touching me!¡± Chen Lin moved away from Chen Hao after Ding Hao left. She looked at Chen Hao usingly and said, ¡°Your acting skills are really good. However, can you keep your hands off me? Did you really think that I am your girlfriend?¡± ¡°Ok, then what should we do now since Ding Hao left?¡± asked Chen Hao. ¡°Hmph! Don¡¯t be impatient. He wille back for me. 3! 2! 1!¡± Chen Lin started counting down with her fingers. The moment she stopped counting¡­ ¡°Ding Hao, why are you going back there?¡¯ Li Shihan¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Chen Lin, I need to make things clear with you. I don¡¯t know how you look at me now, and I admit that it was my mistake as I didn¡¯t help you out when Shihan hit you the day before yesterday. I regretted it a lot. However, I really hope that you can give me another chance to prove to you that I am way more powerful than that upstart, Chen Hao! Way more powerful!¡± said Ding Hao. It was apparent that his ego was hurt. Chen Hao stood at the sides and observed the scene unfolding before him. He really felt a great sense of admiration for Chen Lin at that moment. ¡°But I already have Chen Hao now, and he has a luxury car. Moreover, he can buy me a lot of branded cosmetics and bags. What can you give me?¡± asked Chen Lin. ¡°Fine, Chen Lin. You want to be together with Chen Hao because he is richer than me and he could give you all these things, right?¡± Ding Hao spat angrily. These words sounded very familiar to Chen Hao. Weren¡¯t these the exact words that were uttered by Yang Xia to him in the woods that time? Chen Hao understood that Ding Hao did not really love Chen Lin. Instead, his actions were merely guided by his ego. It was only logical. As a prideful person, Ding Hao could not ept the fact that the person who loved him in the past would suddenly love someone else instead. Hence, he wanted to conquer Chen Lin and get his pride back. ¡°You can say whatever you like. Chen Hao, let¡¯s go and get the car!¡± Chen Lin grabbed Chen Hao¡¯s arms and went out to get the car. ¡°Move it! You are in my way!¡± Chen Hao gave Ding Hao a pat on his chest indicating that he should move to the sides. When Chen Hao reached his car, Ding Hao rushed out behind him at this moment. ¡°Dear, can you let me drive this car? I have never driven such a fine car before,¡± said Chen Lin. ¡°Sure, here is the key then!¡± Chen Hao tossed the key to Chen Lin. ¡°Lin, don¡¯t go. Can you finish listening to me? I was wrong, really wrong. Please, can you give me another chance? I will definitely cherish you, more so then Chen Hao. From now onward, I will give you whatever you want as long as I can afford it. In addition to that, I will prove to you that I am more capable than Chen Hao, a hundred times more capable than him.¡± Ding Hao came over right away and grabbed Chen Lin¡¯s arms. ¡°Really? But isn¡¯t Li Shihan your girlfriend now?¡± Chen Lin looked at Ding Hao begrudgingly. Ding Hao looked at Li Shihan and said, ¡°Shihan, I''ve realized now that the person I truly love is Chen Lin. Let¡¯s break up then!¡± ¡°Ding Hao, you!¡± Li Shihan was so angry that she cried straightaway. Finally, Chen Lin smiled. At this moment, her ego was satisfied. As for Ding Hao, Chen Lin had grasped the fact that he was a prideful person. Hence, she knew that if she found a more capable man to be her boyfriend, he would definitely feel upset. After all, no matter how pretty you were, if you did not have any pursuers, then your worth would depreciate. After all, there were many beautiful girls in this world. However, if you were pursued by a powerful man, your worth would appreciate in value. Otherwise, they would not cherish you even if they managed to get you. So, if youpared it this way, her level of importance had surpassed that of Li Shihan. After all, Li Shihan¡¯s ex-boyfriend, Ma Fei was nothing in Ding Hao¡¯s eyes. Following that, Ding Hao held Chen Lin¡¯s hands and had a conversation with her. Chen Hao was feeling quite awkward as he watched the scene before him. Since he felt the urge to urinate due to the coffee he had drank, he decided to go to the washroom. ¡°Ding Hao, since you are so sincere this time, then I''ll agree to being with you!¡± said Chen Lin with a smile when she saw that her goal had been aplished. At this moment¡­ ¡°Huh? Miss Chen, this is such a coincidence. It seems that you are here as well, I happen to be looking for you¡­¡± A woman¡¯s voice rang out suddenly. When she saw the person walking toward her, Chen Lin¡¯s eyes narrowed in that instant¡­ Chapter 237 Miss Lin’s Birthday Party Chapter 237 Miss Lin¡¯s Birthday Party ¡°Miss Chen?¡± A woman who looked to be in her mid twenties walked over. She spoke respectfully to Chen Lin. Upon seeing her, Chen Lin pretended that she did not recognize her. So, who was the woman? She was none other than Wang Xiaozhang, the sales manager who rented the car to Chen Lin. ¡°Oh, what''s up? If there is anything, let me talk to you through Wechat when I get backter! I am not free at the moment!¡± Chen Lin¡¯s face turned pale. God, how can it be such a coincidence! How could I actually bump into the manager who rented me the car. Then wouldn''t the secret be leaked? I have just gotten back together with Ding Hao. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°It''s okay Miss Chen, I will be quick. The thing is, when you rented the car, I wasn¡¯t aware of the date and had written down tomorrow as the time of return. I had just remembered that the return time should actually be before four o¡¯clock today as we have to return the car to the client by five o¡¯clock. I am truly sorry, it was a mistake from our end! I was just going to give you a call as well!¡± Wang Xiaozhang smiled and said. Then, she waved her hands at Chen Lin and left. What? Ding Hao and Li Shihan were stunned upon hearing that. ¡°Chen Lin, rental car? What is going on?¡± Ding Hao was still in a daze. ¡°Ah? I-I am not sure either!¡± Chen Lin had no idea how to exin. She waspletely dumbfounded. Li Shihan snorted and said, ¡°I know! Chen Lin, you rented this car right? You purposely rented it to lie to Ding Hao. That must be the case!¡± Ding Hao looked at Chen Lin and asked, ¡°Lin, is that true?¡± Chen Lin had no idea how to respond. Just when she was unsure of what to say, she saw Chen Haoing back from the restroom. All of a sudden, an idea crossed Chen Lin¡¯s mind. She turned and ran toward Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao,e over here. I have something to tell you!¡± Chen Lin grabbed onto Chen Hao¡¯s arm and softly whispered, ¡°It''s over! Ding Hao found out about the rental car. Now you have to help me bear the consequences by saying that you are the one who rented the car. Could you tell them that you lied to me? Please, help me out this once!¡± Chen Hao was also dumbfounded. What is going on? At that moment, Ding Hao and Li Shihan were walking over toward Chen Hao. Chen Lin suddenly shouted, ¡°Chen Hao, you a**hole! Why did you lie to me? You rented this car and then used it to court me? It''s not even your car!¡± Chen Hao said, ¡°What is going on? This is my car!¡± Ding Hao looked at Chen Hao with disdain and mocked. ¡°Hmph, Chen Hao, stop trying to lie your way out of this. I had no idea you were so filthy to have used such a method to cheat Chen Lin. Chen Lin almost fell into your trap and most importantly, you almost made me breakup with Shihan as well!¡± Li Shihan looked at Ding Hao and said, ¡°Now you know who is the one that genuinely treats you well. Some girls like to pester guys who are rich, and then end up being yed. Do you see things clearly now?¡± Chen Lin cried, ¡°Ding Hao, you just said that you were going to treat me well!¡± Ding Hao snorted and said, ¡°Lin, I think you better clear your mind. Because of this loser, you almost made me break up with Shihan. Seriously, we were supposed to attend Miss Lin¡¯s birthday party in the afternoon, and you almost made us part on bad terms! Sh*t!¡± Ding Hao rolled his eyes at Chen Lin and Chen Hao. He then held onto Li Shihan¡¯s hand and walked toward Jin Ling Hotel. Today was the day of Miss Lin¡¯s birthday party and of course Ding Hao arrived earlier. Thus, there was no other option but to head to a cafe and have some coffee first. Yet, a situation like this transpired! Sigh! As for Chen Lin, with the devaluation of Chen Hao¡¯s identity, her value had also depreciated. ¡°Oh right, Chen Hao. Didn''t you win the lottery? Hahaha, why don''t youe over to Jin Ling Hotel? We have tickets!¡± Ding Hao sneered at Chen Hao for a while before leaving happily with Li Shihan. Chen Lin squatted down on the spot and burst out into tears. ¡°Oh? Young Master Chen! Why are you here?¡± Just then, a voice could be heard. A middle-aged man in a suit jogged over toward Chen Hao. ¡°You are?¡± Chen Hao found that he looked rather familiar but he could not recall who it was. ¡°Hehe, Young Master Chen, it''s normal that you can''t recognize me. However, I do recognize you! I was present during your weing dinner in Ping An County and had the privilege of seeing your elegant demeanor with my very own eyes. By the way, I am Wang Biao. General Manager Li just hired me as the event nning manager. Are you here to attend Miss Lin¡¯s birthday party as well?¡± The middle-aged man rubbed his palms together and nervously smiled. Chen Lin on the other hand also stopped crying and looked on at the scene in a daze. Even Ding Hao and Li Shihan who were about to enter the hotel were stunned. ¡°Oh, hello Manager Wang. Are you responsible for nning this birthday party?¡± Chen Hao could not wrap his head around this. Which Miss Lin is this? Why did mypany n a birthday party for her? ¡°Of course! Today is Miss Lin¡¯s birthday and as a fellow colleague working in the same group, of course I would help to organize! Many business owners from Jin Ling Commercial Street are here tonight as well. They are all nning to move to Yunmeng Mountain Commercial Street during the second half of the year. Therefore, this is sort of a gathering for them too!¡± Wang Biao exined. ¡°Oh, so that''s the case!¡± Chen Hao felt rather ufortable. After all, Lin Yiyi was also considered his friend, so why did she not invite him to the party? ¡°Manager Wang, do you know Chen Hao?¡± Chen Lin asked with a deeply confused look. She then looked at Ding Hao¡¯s gaze and felt that somehow she had won this time around. Could it be that her best friend, Wei Xue sent help? After all, Wei Xue was watching nearby and chose not to appear. The deeper Chen Lin thought, the more she felt that should be the case. ¡°Of course I recognize Young Master Chen. Even if I don''t recognize him, I would recognize his car! Haha!¡± Manager Wang pointed at the G Wagon. Nice! Chen Lin thought, My best friend really has some tricks up her sleeves. Where did she find such a person? Nheless, this is great! As for Chen Hao, he was unhappy that he just got mocked by Ding Hao and Li Shihan. However, he felt that it would be hard to exin things to Chen Lin if he had just left right away. Since I stumbled upon Li Yiyi¡¯s birthday party, I might as well go in and have a look. That way, it would be a p in Ding Hao¡¯s face so that he could stop bragging and acting so arrogantly! Thus, Chen Hao said, ¡°Manager Wang, could you pass me two entrance tickets? I did not bring mine!¡± ¡°Ah? Sure thing, Young Master Chen.¡± Manager Wang nodded. Chen Lin hinted at Chen Hao to remind him not to push things too far. This was Miss Lin¡¯s birthday party after all, how could a paid actor who was here to put on a show have entrance tickets? However, Chen Lin was shocked when Manager Wang took out the tickets. Ding Hao and Li Shihan were also stunned. Chen Hao ignored everything else and hugged Chen Lin into his arms. He said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, today I shall bring you to attend the birthday party!¡± Although Chen Lin was in a daze when Chen Hao hugged her into his arms, she subconsciously put her arms around Chen Hao¡¯s waist as well. Under Ding Hao¡¯s slightly jealous gaze, they walked into the hotel. F*ck! Why is Chen Hao being treated with so much respect? Ding Hao cursed inwardly. Nevertheless, he followed behind and entered the hotel. Chapter 238 He Actually Came Chapter 238 He Actually Came ¡°Damn! Chen Hao, we actually came in!¡± Chen Lin voiced out in shock. She did not resist when Chen Hao hugged her around the waist as the sudden change in storyline was too exhrating. By now, they had already arrived at the venue. The decorations for Lin Yiyi¡¯s birthday party were very grand. It was mainly due to the fact that her father wanted to take this opportunity and organize a huge gathering as well. As a representative from Yunmeng Mountain, Ding Hao certainly had the right to be here. Anyway, there were more than a hundred people in the hall. Most of them were rich second generation heirs as well as bosses of bigpanies. The decoration in the hall was akin to those of a wedding banquet. There was a long walkway in the center with banquet tables on both sides. After Chen Hao brought Chen Lin in, they found a ce and sat down. There were a lot of people here and everyone would choose to sit with their friends. Meanwhile, Ding Hao red at Chen Hao and Chen Lin furiously after he got in. With a discontented look on his face, he brought Li Shihan to another table and sat there with a group of friends. ¡°Chen Hao, why are you here?¡± Just then, Chen Hao heard a questioning voice next to his ears. Chen Hao turned his head around and was shocked. The voice came from a girl and it was none other than Jiang Ranran, Uncle Jiang¡¯s daughter. There were a bunch of handsome guys and beautiful girls next to her. At that moment, Jiang Ranran was staring at Chen Hao in shock. Why was Jiang Ranran here? After much thought, Chen Hao eventually understood. Ah, right. Uncle Jiang is the leader of the Foreign Investment Team. Now that I am investing in Ping An County, he must have dealt with a lot of my managers. Now that Lin Yiyi¡¯s father had purposely organized such a huge gathering, there was nothing surprising about Jiang Ranran being able toy her hands on a ticket. After all, even people like Ding Hao could attend. However, Chen Hao did not expect such coincidence to bump into her. ¡°Ran, is this your friend?¡± A young and handsome guy next to Jiang Ranran asked. ¡°Not exactly a friend of mine, but he''s from my hometown. His father used to have some personal connections with my father back in the days. However, we no longer have any connections with their family now! His family is in a lot of debt, and his parents left to work as foreignbour in another country. I did not expect that he could actually attend such an event!¡± Jiang Ranran nced at Chen Hao and said. After all, Jiang Ranran clearly remembered the time when Chen Hao embarrassed her in the western restaurant. This time around, it was not easy for her toy her hands on the entrance ticket to such a huge gathering event. She begged her father for a long time, and only then did her father use his connections and ask another leader for the ticket. She had also nned to utilize this opportunity to expand her horizons. Lo and behold, this time around she had managed to get to know Zhang Lang, a rich heir in Jin Ling City. Zhang Lang¡¯s family used to deal with big corporations. When they heard of this development project on Yunmeng mountain, they sessfully acquired the contract of being the proxy for arge restaurant there. Therefore, their family would not be having any cash flow problems in the long run. Indeed, he was a rich heir with actual capabilities. Lin Dong¡¯s family background pales into insignificance whenpared to that of Zhang Lang. Even Jiang Ranran felt that she was a joke back then for actually bearing grudges when Chen Hao had embarrassed Lin Dong. ¡°Young Master Zhang, he is just a poor boy. He used to be a famous and poor loser back in our high school days in Ping An County!¡± Lin Dong who was also present during this gathering, stood out from the crowd and spoke to Zhang Lang with a hint of ttery. ¡°Oh, I see. Haha, I think we better take our seats and continue our conversations!¡± Zhang Lang faced the guys and girls behind him and said. ¡°Zhang, you just arrived? I have reserved good seats for you!¡± Just then, Ding Hao brought Li Shihan over and paid their greetings. After all, Ding Hao¡¯s table was quite close to Chen Hao¡¯s table. ¡°Brother Ding, you are here early! Ran, let¡¯s go over and let me introduce my friend to you. He''s my friend, Young Master Ding!¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Zhang Lang introduced Ding Hao to Jiang Ranran with a smile. Ding Hao became quite popr now that he owned shops at Yunmeng Mountain. Naturally, his status and ss rose ordingly. He also managed to step foot into the circle of rich heirs. After all the introduction, Jiang Ranran eventually got to know everyone. As a matter of fact, that day was a huge learning experience for Jiang Ranran. It was the first time she got to understand the fascination among the high-end social circle. At first, Jiang Ranran thought that the circle of rich heirs would only be discussing luxurious products like cars and such. However, they did not discuss those topics at all. In fact, they spent most of their time discussing the little things they experienced in life as well as the knowledge of personal finance and investment they learnt from their fathers and people of that generation. All these opened up a new world for Jiang Ranran. Inparison, Lin Dong who loved to brag about his money and power was nothing but an ugly duckling. Not to mention Chen Hao, the upstart. He looked so disgusting! There was nothing incredible about him. Ding Hao¡¯s conduct today had also put an embarrassed look on Chen Lin¡¯s face. Because there was no way Chen Hao could continue to pretend and act like he was a rich heir anymore. After all, everyone around was an actual rich heir. Chen Lin looked at Ding Hao and realized how well he was doing in his life. The amount of friends he knew was many as well. Gosh, I am such a failure, Chen Lin thought. Today was just aplete disaster. Chen Lin could not even lift her head up! ¡°Oh right, when is the ''goddess'' Lin Yiyi going to appear?¡± There were a few rich heirs like Ding Hao, whereby it was their first time attending such a huge event. It was also their first time seeing Lin Yiyi who was rumoured to be extraordinarily beautiful. Therefore, they could not hold in their excitement and asked. Meanwhile, at the backstage of the hotel. ¡°Manager Wang, are you sure you saw him? H-He is here? How is that possible?¡± Lin Yiyi had just finished putting on her makeup when she heard what Wang Biao said. She immediately pushed the makeup artist aside and stood up. ¡°Ah? Miss Lin, you didn''t know Young Master Chen wasing?¡± Wang Biao was stunned. ¡°No way, why would he be here¡­ You must have mistaken him for someone else. Oh right, was there a girl who came with him?¡± Lin Yiyi asked. The main reason why Lin Yiyi had not contacted Chen Hao all this while was that she was saddened by the fact that Chen Hao had Su Tongxin as his girlfriend. She knew that Chen Hao would not fall in love with her. Therefore, if she had seen Chen Hao, she would feel a little dejected. At first, Lin Yiyi had nned to invite Chen Hao to this party. However, her father said that Young Master Chen was busy with the development of Ping An County. Not only that, one of Chen Hao¡¯s older rtives had fallen sick and been hospitalized. Thus, her father warned her not to disturb Young Master Chen. Furthermore, to be honest, this gathering was not catered to the senior executives of the group. That was why people like Bai Xiaofei and the rest did not attend. Therefore, her father said there was no point inviting Young Master Chen. Lin Yiyi reluctantly agreed. In reality, she had constantly been thinking about Chen Hao. Therefore, there was no way she could contain her excitement when she heard from Wang Biao that Young Master Chen was here. However, at the same time she could not believe it. Wang Biao gave a bitter smile and said, ¡°It''s true, Miss Lin. How could I make a mistake in recognizing Young Master Chen? I personally passed the entrance tickets over to him. Oh, yes! There was a girl that came in with Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°I still cannot believe he woulde by!¡± After saying that, Lin Yiyi turned her head and said to the staff members, ¡°Get ready, I would be heading out soon!¡± In the meantime, the lights in the event hall dimmed. Lin Yiyi, who was in a white dress, slowly walked out. ¡°Damn! Such a beauty, an absolute beauty!¡± ¡°My goodness, Miss Lin is too beautiful!¡± In the midst of the noise, Chen Hao also lifted his head up and looked toward the stage. Chapter 239 A Big Hug Chapter 239 A Big Hug Come to think of it, Chen Hao had not seen Lin Yiyi for quite some time. He did not expect her to look more beautiful after all this time. ¡°Lin Yiyi is absolutely gorgeous!¡± Below the stage, Ding Hao could not help but stare, as well as praising her directly. Li Shihan wasn¡¯t angry in the slightest. Why? Because Lin Yiyi¡¯s beauty was enough to make Li Shihan jealous. Even she had to admit that Miss Lin¡¯s beauty was indeed breathtaking. ¡°Of course, Lin Yiyi is Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen¡¯s godsister. How can she look ordinary?¡± said Zhang Lang as he smiled bitterly. ¡°Young Master Zhang, since today is Lin Yiyi¡¯s birthday, why didn¡¯t Young Master Chene then?¡± Jiang Ranran asked. She thought to herself that it would be nice if Young Master Chen came here today so she could get acquainted with him. ¡°Haha, I don¡¯t think Young Master Chen ising today. Let me tell you all what my father said to me. He told me that Young Master Chen from Jin Ling likes to keep a low profile and is an amiable guy. He doesn¡¯t really like to attend big events like this.¡± Zhang Lang seemed to know Young Master Chen very well as he started telling them about him with a smug smile. ¡°Oh!¡± Jiang Ranran couldn¡¯t help but reveal a regretful expression. ¡°Ranran, do you want to drink some juice? This juice was imported from overseas and it is really good. I¡¯ll pour you a ss!¡± Lin Dong was feeling upset when he saw that Jiang Ranran was speaking to Zhang Lang all the time. Hence, he tried to please her. ¡°What do you mean ¡®drink¡¯? I don¡¯t want to drink it. Stop bothering me!¡± Unexpectedly, Jiang Ranran red at him in disgust and turned her gaze to Zhang Lang again. ¡°Give me a ss of juice please!¡± At this moment, a waiter passed by Chen Hao and Chen Lin with a tray. Chen Lin¡¯s nonstop chattering made her very thirsty, especially since she was invited to the gathering of the rich because of the incident with the rented car. Hence, she was very nervous. The juice looked good, so she wanted a ss of it. At this moment, Lin Yiyi, who was on the stage, started to look around anxiously while delivering her thank you speech for today¡¯s birthday party. Suddenly, a smashing sound was heard. Ah! Following that, a girl¡¯s shrill scream was heard and the crowd became silent. The scream came from Chen Lin as she wanted to give Chen Hao a ss of the juice after she noticed that it was quite nice after tasting it. At this moment however, her hand slipped, and because she wasn¡¯t holding the wine ss properly, it dropped to the floor and smashed into pieces. Of course, the juice sshed all over her and Chen Hao. That was why she screamed out loud just now. ¡°Oh my, how can you be so careless? Come, let me clean it for you,¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but say. Then, he pulled out some tissues and wiped Chen Lin¡¯s dress and the corner of his own trousers as well. ¡°What the f*ck! This is really f*cking embarrassing. Did youe from the countryside? Can¡¯t you hold a wine ss properly?¡± ¡°Haha. That¡¯s right, can¡¯t you see that Lin Yiyi is giving a speech now? How can you eat and drink there while she is giving a speech? You really have no ss at all!¡± Several rich young masters who were seated at the same table as them took it all in and couldn¡¯t help but ridicule her. It seemed that the louder they ridiculed, the more they thought they could please Lin Yiyi. ¡°Sigh! Take a look, this is the difference between finding a real rich young master to be your boyfriend versus a fake one. No wonder you made a fool of yourself since you did not attend any high-profile event before!¡± Li Shihan smirked when she saw Chen Lin being ridiculed by the crowd. ¡°Seriously, I am so lucky that I did not get back together with her,¡± said Ding Hao. Meanwhile, Jiang Ranran only looked at Chen Hao and shook her head. ¡°I am sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to do that. Honestly!¡± Chen Lin started to feel afraid and immediately bowed down to apologize to the crowd. Then, she blushed and pulled on Chen Hao¡¯s sleeves. ¡°Chen Hao, I think we should leave. Let¡¯s not stay here any longer!¡± Originally, when Chen Lin came here, she already knew that Chen Hao could not keep up his act anymore. However, based on the situation at that time, she could only follow Chen Hao in. She did not expect that she would make a fool of herself. If this continued any further, she would definitely embarrass herself even more. ¡°Why should we leave? Aren''t we having a pleasant time? We only broke a wine ss, there is nothing to worry about!¡± This was the first time that Chen Hao saw Chen Lin, who was usually confident, feeling inferior about herself. Hence, he couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. He had a simr encounter in the past in which he felt quite awkward the first time he attended such a huge event. And so, he advised her at that moment. ¡°Who are you two? How did you guys get in here? Don¡¯t you know the rules? This event is not for any Tom, Dick and Harry!¡± A middle-aged, wealthy businessman from the neighboring table announced coldly at this moment. The crowd started to get rowdy. After all, it was rude to create a scene when Lin Yiyi was giving a speech. But if anyone were to stand up to say something at this moment, they would definitely leave asting impression on the Lin family. Hence, they could reap quite a lot of benefits in the future. So, everybody started jeering at them. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . At the same time, their gazes were on Lin Yiyi, who was standing on the stage at this moment as they wanted to see her reaction. Unexpectedly, Lin Yiyi''s eyes turned red and unbeknownst to her, the microphone she was holding earlier had fallen onto the floor. ¡°You really came!¡± said Lin Yiyi as she burst into tears. Chen Hao, who was wiping the corner of his trousers while squatting down, lifted his head up the moment he heard Lin Yiyi¡¯s words. Only then did he realize that Lin Yiyi had already noticed him. ¡°Uh, happy birthday!¡± said Chen Hao embarrassingly. Then, he started fumbling around his entire body as he tried to look for a gift for her. However, other than the car keys, he had nothing to offer. He said sheepishly, ¡°I am so sorry that I did not prepare a birthday gift for you as it was too sudden. I can only wish you a happy birthday for now!¡± ¡°I thought that you had forgotten about me a long time ago!¡± After drying her tears, she lifted her gown and ran toward Chen Hao. Then, she gave him a big hug under everybody¡¯s surprised gaze. ¡°It has been so long, and you never bothered to contact me. Did you forget about me after having somebody else in your life?¡± said Lin Yiyi as she hugged Chen Hao and cried. She let out all her grievances about being left behind by Chen Hao in one shot. ¡°There, there, it¡¯s alright. Don¡¯t cry anymore, ok?¡± Chen Hao gave Lin Yiyi a pat on her shoulders. ¡°What?¡± ¡°What the f*ck?¡± All the audience below the stage was stunned at the moment. Did he know who Lin Yiyi was? She was the dream girl in the eyes of many rich young masters. Moreover, she was ¡®off-limits¡¯. Hence, they could only watch her from a distance. In addition to that, only the top rich young masters were able to befriend her. However, this ordinary-looking person here actually had the privilege to be hugged by Lin Yiyi herself. Furthermore, weren¡¯t those words too affectionate? Who is he? All the rich young masters thought to themselves enviously. On the other hand, Ding Hao and Li Shihan were dumbfounded at this moment. Chen Hao was only an upstart, so how could a beautiful girl like Lin Yiyi be attracted to him? The spotlight fell on Chen Hao at that moment. Ding Hao was so envious that he nearly popped a vessel, let alone Zhang Lang and Jiang Ranran who were standing beside him. ¡°I will celebrate your birthday with you tonight, ok?¡± said Chen Hao with a bitter smile. To be honest, Chen Hao came here because he wanted to make Ding Hao and the rest of them looked like fools. However, he wanted to use Wang Biao and the rest of the people to obtain his goals instead. Unexpectedly, the situation had ended up like this. This made Chen Hao feel embarrassed. ¡°Ok, you have to keep your promise, alright? This is yourpensation to me.¡± Only then did Lin Yiyi stop crying. Once she dried her tears, Chen Hao advised her to finish up the event before leaving with Chen Lin. Ding Hao, Li Shihan and Jiang Ranran followed behind Chen Hao and Chen Lin at a safe distance after they left the hotel. They were really embarrassed just now. At this moment, all of them were puzzled about Chen Hao¡¯s identity. How was he able to make Miss Lin act that way? They followed closely behind until they reached his car. ¡°Miss Chen, I have waited for you for quite some time now as I was unable to reach you through your phone.¡± At this moment, Wang Xiaozhang was standing beside the car with a piece of contract in her hands¡­ Chapter 240 The Video Call From the Family Chapter 240 The Video Call From the Family ¡°Manager Wang, my phone was switched off just now.¡± Chen Lin ran ahead toward Wang Xiaozhang. Because now, Ding Hao and the rest of them were following behind Chen Lin. Hence, she was afraid that the issue of the rented car would once again be exposed. However, the more afraid she was, the more her fears came to pass. Li Shihan could not believe that this Mercedes-Benz belonged to Chen Hao. Nobody knew that the sentences that were uttered by Chen Hao when he unted his wealth previously were akin to thorns that had pierced Li Shihan¡¯s heart deeply as it brought about waves upon waves of pain. Hence, the next time she saw Wang Xiaozhang, not only did she want a clear answer from her, she wanted to ask her some questions as well. At that moment, she bypassed Chen Lin and walked in front of Wang Xiaozhang. Then, she shot Chen Lin a cold stare and said, ¡°Chen Lin, what are you so afraid of?¡± ¡°Are you Manager Wang? May I know whether this car belongs to Chen Lin?¡± ¡°No! It¡¯s not my car!¡± Chen Lin quickly refuted and gave Manager Wang a wink. Manager Wang knew that something was brewing, hence she tried to hide the contract in her hands. However, Li Shihan snatched the contract and flipped it open. Then, sheughed immediately. ¡°Hahaha, you really rented a car. Oh my God,e here quickly to take a look, Ding Hao! Miss Jiang, Young Master Zhang,e over as well! Let me tell you something interesting. Today, I was drinking some coffee with Ding Hao at the cafe, then this girl named Chen Lin¡­¡± Li Shihan showed them Chen Lin¡¯s rental car contract while telling them about the incident at the cafe this morning. Hmph! It was Chen Hao¡¯s fault for making a fool out of them. Moreover, he even made Ding Hao envious. Needless to say, that made Ding Hao regret his decision of choosing her over Chen Lin. However, everybody saw that Lin Yiyi had hugged Chen Hao, so Li Shihan had no choice but to use the rented car issue to mock Chen Lin. After all, Chen Hao was Young Master Huang and and Young Master Bai¡¯s errand boy, so it could exin why he was acquainted with Lin Yiyi. As for the issue with the rented car, she wanted to see how Chen Lin would exin her way out of this. At the same time, Li Shihan felt happy and rxed to know that Chen Hao did not buy this car. It was almost as if a mountain had been lifted off her chest. ¡°Chen Lin, it seems that this G Wagon was rented by you. However, I never expected you to be such a scheming person.¡± Ding Hao gave Chen Lin a disgusted look. Chen Lin lowered her head further and cried as she said, ¡°I am sorry, Ding Hao. I am really sorry. I didn''t mean to lie to you!¡± ¡°Haha. Chen Lin, the person who rented this car was you. Your identification number is clearly stated here. Let me see who is the owner of this car¡­ Huh? Chen Hao?¡± After turning a page of the contract, Li Shihan was stunned when she saw what was written there. ¡°T-T-This must be a mistake, right?¡± Li Shihan¡¯s eyes widened. Chen Lin lifted her head up as well. ¡°Oh! You are here, Mr. Chen! I am really sorry I did not notice you as I was too busy talking to Miss Chen here.¡± Wang Xiaozhang happened to see Chen Hao who was standing by the sides at this moment. Right then, she walked over to him in delight. ¡°It¡¯s ok, Manager Wang. By the way, can I drive my car away after I sign my name?¡± asked Chen Hao with a smile. ¡°Of course, Mr. Chen. However, do you need to inspect it first?¡± ¡°No need for that. That¡¯s because I have been sitting in this car for the entire day. Don¡¯t worry,¡± said Chen Hao. Then, he walked toward Li Shihan who looked shocked. He took the contract from her and signed his name. ¡°Y-You¡­ Is this really your car?¡± asked Li Shihan as she looked at Chen Hao. The distance between her and Chen Hao was extremely close. She had never been this close to Chen Hao ever since their high school graduation. At this moment, Li Shihan¡¯s emotions were in a turmoil. She was really upset. ¡°Who do you think it belongs to then? I already said that this car belongs to me and nobody believes it!¡± Chen Hao looked indifferently at her. Then, he gave the dumbfounded Chen Lin a pat on her shoulders. ¡°Come, I¡¯ll send you home.¡± ¡°Ok, Chen Hao, just drop me off at the bus station. I want to book a bus ticket to return to my hometown in Ping An County tonight.¡± At the same time, she felt a sense of thrill from Chen Hao¡¯s acting. However, unbeknownst to her, she wasn¡¯t angry with Ding Hao anymore, instead she was really happy and excited from the bottom of her heart. ¡°Young Master Chen, this car is worth at least two million, right? How cool!¡± Zhang Lang, who was watching the drama by the sidelines, came over at this moment and gave Chen Hao a smile. Zhang Lang thought to himself, No matter how much other people ridiculed Chen Hao, he¡¯s still acquainted with Lin Yiyi, and he also drives a luxury car. There is definitely something fishy going on here. It was definitely better to turn his enemies into his friends. ¡°It¡¯s approximately two point two million.¡± Chen Hao looked at him and smiled casually. They even shook hands together. At this moment, Zhang Lang¡¯s phone suddenly rang. ¡°Hello, dad. Ok, I understand. I will head back now.¡± Zhang Lang hung up his phone and said, ¡°Erm, Young Master Chen, I have some business to attend to right now, so I¡¯ll excuse myself first. Lin Dong, Ranran, I am sorry, but I can¡¯t fetch you guys to the bus station now because my father wants me home as soon as possible.¡± With that, he bid Chen Hao goodbye and drove away in his car. ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Ranran was stunned. What should we do now? They had a deal with Young Master Zhang just now at the party that he would send them to the bus station in his BMW 7 series. Because when they came here, Lin Dong was too embarrassed to drive his car. Hence, they took a cab here. At that moment, Chen Hao had already started the engine of his car, while Chen Lin naturally sat in the passenger seat. Lin Dong pulled a long face as he said, ¡°Ranran, why don¡¯t we hail a cab then?¡± ¡°Hail a cab? That''s all that you know? Hailing a cab?! Look at you! You are too embarrassed to drive a car that you bought. Now, other people have their personal cars to pick them up, while I still have to hail a cab!¡± Jiang Ranran¡¯s eyes turned red instantly due to her anger and embarrassment. She had learned her lesson again today about the disadvantages of being poor. ¡°Hop in my car. I will send you all to the bus station.¡± Chen Hao wore his sunsses and chuckled to himself. It wasn¡¯t as if he wanted to help Jiang Ranran out. In fact, it wouldn¡¯t be an issue for him at all if he were to leave without giving them a helping hand at this moment. Jiang Ranran lifted her head up to look at Chen Hao. Then, she gritted her teeth and sat in his car. At the same time, she looked at Chen Lin who was sitting in the passenger seat and couldn¡¯t help but feel jealous. If nothing had happened between them, then wouldn¡¯t the passenger seat be hers now? F*ck it! Fine, I¡¯ll sit in his car then. I will deal with youter, Lin Dong thought to himself. ¡°Hey! What are you doing?¡± Chen Hao looked at Lin Dong. ¡°Damn it! I am getting in the car!¡± ¡°The people that I mentioned just now are Jiang Ranran and Chen Lin only, not you. Young Master Lin, don¡¯t forget to return the money that you owed me. Your time is almost up soon, and I still have your IOU here.¡± Chen Hao locked the car door straightaway. What the f*ck! I took the initiative to help him outst time, yet he had the audacity to ridicule me today. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Why should I let you sit in my car? Do you think that I am stupid? Chen Hao thought to himself. At that moment, he left straightaway in his car without giving the onlookers a second nce. As Li Shihan looked on at the retreating figure of the car, her emotions were all over the ce. Didn¡¯t Chen Hao care about her the most back then in high school? Even if it was raining, he would brave the rain to buy her food when she wanted to study and refused to go out to have her meals. In addition to that, Chen Hao had always looked at her with concern. Even though they had not seen each other for three years, as well as how she had mistreated him, Chen Hao still looked concerned about her wellbeing when he met her. However, this time, she felt upset with the way he ignored her existence, and how his gaze looked ice- cold. That was because Chen Hao never spared her a single nce ever since he took the contract off her hands until the moment he drove away in his car. After Chen Hao dropped them off at the bus station, he decided not to return home. Instead, he rented a room in the hotel to stay because of Qin Ya. That night, Chen Hao received a video call. It was connected to the family¡¯s secret channel. Hence, only the immediate members of the Chen family had ess to it. When he saw the remarks on the screen, Chen Hao sat bolt upright on his bed and hurriedly answered the call. Chapter 241 Find That Woman Chapter 241 Find That Woman ¡°Dad!¡± Chen Hao cried out respectfully after he answered the video call. Although this wasn¡¯t the first time that he had a video call with his father after he found out his true identity, Chen Hao still acted respectfully toward his father. After all, his father cut a more imposing figure nowpared to before. ¡°Chen Hao, what are you doing now?¡± However, his father just looked at him with a fatherly smile. ¡°I am preparing to rest now. Dad, what¡¯s going on? Why did you call me at this hour?¡± ¡°Yes, I do have something I want you to do. Originally, I wanted your sister to investigate it for me as I know that you usually spend most of your time and effort on your homework. However, this matter has been dyed as your sister is attending to some business in North Africa now. Did your sister tell you about it yet?¡± ¡°You want me to help you find a woman?¡± Chen Hao recalled the things that his sister said to him in the past, in which she had wanted him to investigate a woman. ¡°Yes, I will fax you her pictures in a moment. Can you try your best to find out her location. Sigh. If not, I will me myself for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°In addition to that, you must remember not to let your mother know about this under any circumstances!¡± His father sighed again. Chen Hao felt ufortable when he heard this, even his face turned dark. Could his father have betrayed a woman before this? Damn it! How could he ask both of us siblings to find her in private? The first person that Chen Hao thought of was his mother and instantly felt sorry for her. ¡°What is her rtionship to you? You have an ample amount of resources aspared to us. As long as you want to find her, you will definitely be able to do so,¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Sigh! My dear boy, if it was convenient for me to do so, why would I need the both of you to do it for me? As for our rtionship¡­ Your sister had actually asked the same question. In short, I can only tell you that it¡¯s not the rtionship that you have in mind. She is connected to a major incident that happened in our family in the past. Many years have passed, and our family owes her a lot. As for the incident, please don¡¯t ask about it. I will tell you everything in the future.¡± ¡°Ok, that''s all for now. Please put in your best effort!¡± With that, his father hung up the phone. Not long after that, Chen Hao received a fax message on his phone. It was a ck and white colored picture that was a few decades old, and there was a woman in that picture. Chen Hao¡¯s hands suddenly trembled violently when he saw the woman in that photo. He nearly dropped his phone onto the floor. He stared at the picture for quite some time before he sucked in a cold breath of air. ¡°I-Isn¡¯t this Su Ziyue?¡± The woman in the picture was beautiful indeed. She looked delicate and attractive. Moreover, she looked almost simr to Su Ziyue. If it weren¡¯t for the ck and white colored picture, Chen Hao would definitely think that the woman was Su Ziyue. How could it be her? Chen Hao thought to himself that this woman was definitely about the same age as his father. In other words, she might be Su Ziyue¡¯s mother. After all, Chen Hao was sure that Su Ziyue grew up in an orphanage, and she did not know the reason for her parent¡¯s abandonment. Now, barring other surprises, the woman whom his father wanted him to find was definitely Su Ziyue¡¯s mother. Even now, several thoughts shed across Chen Hao¡¯s mind. He remembered how his heart suddenly throbbed the first time he met Su Ziyue. It seemed that the first time they met, he felt a close bond with Su Ziyue. In addition to that, he felt naturally protective of her. There was no exnation for it. Come to think about it, could Su Ziyue actually be his sister? Although his father kept on exining that he did not have that kind of rtionship with this woman, Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t believe it over his dead body. That night, Chen Hao was so bothered by his thoughts that he kept tossing and turning in his bed. He couldn¡¯t sleep a wink all night. The next morning, Chen Hao gave Su Ziyue a call and told her that he must see her today to have a chat. For the past few months, they would asionally chat with each other through WeChat when they were free. Su Ziyue had already gone to work at a new kindergarten, and she was doing well there. Furthermore, Chen Hao had given a house to Su Ziyue as a gift, thereby providing a ce for Da Hu and Er Hu to stay. ¡°Miss Su, can you help me out with something? I have no time to review the homework of the kids in my ss, can you help me out with it? It¡¯s because my boyfriend is picking me up now, and I want to do some shoppingter.¡± A female teacher with waist-length hair was looking indifferently at Su Ziyue who was reviewing her students¡¯ homework. ¡°But Miss Liu, I haven¡¯t finished reviewing my students¡¯ homework yet,¡± said Su Ziyue helplessly. ¡°Hmph! If you do not want to help, then just say so. You don¡¯t have to find an excuse for it. Don¡¯t think that you are so high and mighty just because you were rmended by President Tang to work here as a teacher. Haha,e to think of it, who do you think you are? You only started working here for a month, and you have already been named the most beautiful teacher in Jin Ling Early Childhood Education Campus. How great do you think you are to refuse to help me review my students¡¯ homework?¡± the teacher named Liu Ke said coldly at the moment. Liu Ke started working in the best kindergarten in Jin Ling two months earlier than Su Ziyue. When Su Ziyue started working here, she kept bullying her by asking her to review her students¡¯ homework all the time. In addition to that, Liu Ke¡¯s boyfriend had power and influence. Not to mention that he was good- looking as well. Originally, Liu Ke, who was voted as the ¡®most beautiful¡¯ female teacher by the school district, thought that she would definitely get the top spot. s, most of the parents voted for the kind-hearted and beautiful Su Ziyue. Of course, this made Liu Ke anxious. So, she started inquiring about Su Ziyue¡¯s background, however, she got nothing on her. That was why they ended up in this situation. As for the other older teachers, though they were pissed off by Liu Ke¡¯s actions, they dared not speak out due to fear. ¡°Fine, I will help you review your students¡¯ homework, Miss Liu!¡± Su Ziyue gritted her teeth and moved arge pile of homework from Liu Ke¡¯s desk to her desk. ¡°Hmph, that¡¯s better. Don¡¯t think you can act all high and mighty just because they voted you as the most beautiful teacher. Let me tell you this, I am far more superior than you in every aspect!¡± Liu Ke scolded Su Ziyue with a smug look on her face as she prepared to leave. ¡°Ziyue, you should let her review her own students¡¯ homework. You don¡¯t owe her anything, so why do you need to help her?¡± At this moment, a casual voice was heard. Following that, a guy walked in front of Su Ziyue and moved the huge pile of homework back to Liu Ke¡¯s desk. ¡°What the f*ck! Who do you think you are?¡± Liu Ke was stunned. Chen Hao did not even spare her a single nce as he pulled Su Ziyue¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you to take leave today? Why are you helping her out with her work? Let¡¯s go and have a meal. I have something to discuss with you.¡± ¡°Yes, my leave application has been approved.¡± Su Ziyue nodded her head. Su Ziyue felt a sense of security when she saw Chen Hao. That was because she was usually afraid of the arrogant and bossy Liu Ke. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . The rest of the female teachers lowered their heads and secretlyughed when they saw that Chen Hao and Su Ziyue did not even bother about Liu Ke. On the other hand, Liu Ke¡¯s face looked flushed. Several young female teachers who were out shopping earlier were chatting with Liu Ke¡¯s boyfriend at the entrance of the kindergarten at the moment. ¡°Oh my, Miss Liu, your boyfriend is here to pick you up again! I am so envious of you!¡± Everybody said in admiration when they saw Liu Ke at this moment. However, following that, they saw Su Ziyue and Chen Hao who were walking out as well. They gave each other a nudge and said, ¡°Oh my,e take a look at this quickly. Could that be Su Ziyue¡¯s boyfriend?¡± ¡°Oh my God! Really? This guy looks quite shabby!¡± ¡°Haha, that¡¯s why they are perfect for each other!¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Chen Hao was speechless. He had only just walked out when waves of ridicules rang in his ears¡­ Chapter 242 To Eat With Taste Chapter 242 To Eat With Taste ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s no wonder that Su Ziyue dared to disobey me. Looks like she got herself a boyfriend! Ugh, this pisses me off!¡± Liu Ke said, rolling her eyes while looking at Chen Hao and Su Ziyue. ¡°Liu Ke? What¡¯s wrong?¡± The guy leaning on the car door with his hands tucked in his jeans pockets gave Chen Hao a hostile smile as well. ¡°Of course it¡¯s because of Su Ziyue! Initially, we were supposed to stay at the college to do some proofreading because it¡¯s semester break already. I asked for her help because I was going to go do some shopping. However, now that her boyfriend is here, she refuses to help out anymore!¡± ¡°Anyone who knows less might¡¯ve thought that she got herself some powerful boyfriend. He¡¯s just a loser, man!¡± Liu Ke spilled everything that happened just now. She assumed that Chen Hao was a loser judging from his outfit as he only wore a in white T-shirt along with track bottoms and sport shoes. She didn¡¯t even try to be modest with her words anymore. ¡°Exactly! She¡¯s so full of herself ever since she was selected as the most beautiful teacher. But, I still think Liu Ke has the coolest boyfriend! He even has a BMW 5 Series! That¡¯s awesome!¡± ¡°Of course! Anyways, I am nning to go shopping with my boyfriend after this. What about carpooling in my boyfriend¡¯s car? I¡¯ll bring you guys out along with us. After all, we should get to know each other more as colleagues!¡± Liu Ke suggested with a friendly tone. She wanted to take the chance to iste Su Ziyue. ¡°Sure!¡± The bunch of girlsughed along. They all entered the car and left. Chen Hao wanted to confront Liu Ke. After all, he couldn¡¯t bear watching Su Ziyue getting stepped on all over like that. However, Su Ziyue held him back by pulling on his elbow, asking for him to remain calm. ¡°What the f*ck? What¡¯s so great about being rich?!¡± Chen Hao cursed while he watched them leaving. Then, he guided Su Ziyue to his G Wagon parked at the side of the road and left with her. It was almost 11 now. Chen Hao took Su Ziyue to a restaurant. ¡°Chen Hao, you said you have something to ask me. What is it?¡± After settling down, Su Ziyue questioned curiously. ¡°Ziyue, do you know a woman called Meng Xin? Chen Hao didn¡¯t beat around the bush. This matter not only involved Su Ziyue¡¯s past, it might also involve him. Meng Xin might have really been his father¡¯s woman. Doesn¡¯t that mean that he has another sister?! Chen Hao felt weird thinking about it. So he had to get a confirmation right now. However, Su Ziyue tensed immediately after hearing that name. Then, she stared at Chen Hao in shock. ¡°H-h-how do you know her¡± Su Ziyue faltered.. Chen Hao¡¯s intuition was right. He probed, ¡°Who is she to you?¡± Su Ziyue shooked her head sadly, ¡°I don¡¯t really know her. I only know that she abandoned me and might possibly be my birth mother. However, I only knew this after asking the director of the orphanage. So, what I know is what he told me.¡± ¡°I was found at the front entrance of the orphanage. At that time, I was wearing a jade ne. ''Meng Xin'' was carved on that jade!¡± Su Ziyue gave Chen Hao a look, ¡°I¡¯ve never mentioned this to anyone, how do you know about this? Was it Da Hu or Er Hu?¡± Chen Hao pondered for a moment. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Nah, it¡¯s better to not tell Su Ziyue about the truth. Most importantly, Chen Hao didn¡¯t know how to break it to her about it. He casually said, ¡°Well, yeah. I think either one of them mentioned it to me once. But Ziyue, don¡¯t you want to find your birth mother? Or this woman called Meng Xin¡± Chen Hao tried to change the topic. ¡°Of course I do! But, how is that even possible?¡± Su Ziyue added, ¡°This is why I didn¡¯t want to tell you. You¡¯ve really helped me out a lot and I really don¡¯t want to burden you anymore. At this point, I don¡¯t even know how to pay you back!¡± ¡°Nah, it¡¯s not a big deal. Don¡¯t worry about it. If you really want to track her down, I¡¯ll help you out!¡± Chen Hao smiled and patted Su Ziyue¡¯s shoulder forfort. ¡°Alright!¡± Su Ziyue nodded heavily. After that, she took out a jade that was wrapped in red cloth. ¡°Chen Hao, look. This is the jade!¡± Su Ziyue passed the jade over to Chen Hao. Chen Hao examined the jade. Isn¡¯t this exactly like the pictures of the jade that dad sent me? ¡°Ziyue, can I hold onto the jade for now? I want to get a master to examine the origin of the jade!¡± Chen Hao exined. Su Ziyue paused for a moment. She nodded. ¡°Alright, sure!¡±. After that, Chen Hao probed Su Ziyue further to try to get more answers about her past. ¡°It¡¯s so hot outside, my sunscreen doesn''t even work anymore!¡± Right at this moment, a group of people entered the restaurant. One of the girlsined as she struggled to carry all her shopping bags. ¡°Liu Ke, there¡¯s another luxury store next to this restaurant. Let¡¯s head there after this!¡± one of the girls ¡°Sure! But let¡¯s eat first!¡± The girl talking was none other than Su Ziyue¡¯s colleague, Liu Ke. ¡°What the hell? Liu Ke, look! Isn¡¯t that Su Ziyue? She¡¯s actually dining here?¡± The girl next to Liu Ke pointed at Su Ziyue and Chen Hao. She was obviously surprised. With Liu Ke¡¯s boyfriend¡¯s standard, he wouldn¡¯t have brought them to eat at some random restaurant. It was obvious that this restaurant was exclusive. She didn¡¯t expect Su Ziyue to eat at exclusive restaurants like this seeing that she was a very thrifty person. ¡°Yo, isn¡¯t this Su Ziyue? Are you guys here to eat as well?¡± Liu Ke walked over, smiling wryly. Chen Hao spotted the girls walking over after he kept the jade and frowned. ¡°Have you guys ordered food? Or did you guyse here just to get drinks?¡± Liu Ke taunted. ¡°Haha, maybe both of them just wanted to experience what it¡¯s like eating here. I¡¯ve seen people like them a lot. Most of them never order any food and just sit around with their drinks. Acting as if they¡¯re rich by taking pictures and posting it on their social media!¡± A colleague who was closer to Liu Ke added. This managed to get all of them bursting into fits of giggles. ¡°Hey waiter, is there any four person set meal? Can you get me one? The highest standard please!¡± ¡°Of course, sir. By the way, there¡¯s a new addition to our menu¡ªthe Stir-fried Bullfrog Specialty made by our master chef from Sichuan. May I ask if you¡¯re interested in ordering it?¡± The waiter looked at Liu Ke and the others. Liu Ke turned and looked at her boyfriend. ¡°Alright, alright. Let¡¯s see¡­¡± Liu Ke¡¯s boyfriend skimmed through the menu and was stunned, ¡°What the hell? 1699 for one bullfrog dish? Just one dish? That¡¯s crazy!¡± Liu Ke¡¯s boyfriend was speechless. Liu Ke was taken aback. ¡°What? That¡¯s too expensive! That cost around half my monthly sry!¡± ¡°Yes, sir. This is the small portion and has around six pieces only. However, the taste is definitely worth every penny!¡± ¡°Look! Even those customers ordered it too!¡± The waiter pointed at the customers at the side. Indeed, the presentation of the dish was great. However, Liu Ke and the others looked at the price of therger portion¡ªit almost cost 2698. It was too expensive. Initially, they thought that it would only cost a few thousand to dine here. ¡°What about ordering the small portion just to have a taste of it?¡± Liu Ke felt like trying the dish after watching the neighbouring customers eat them. ¡°Alright, just one? Haha, no problem!¡± After saying that, Liu Ke¡¯s boyfriend purposefully raised his voice and shouted, ¡°I will have a te of the Stir-fried Bullfrog Specialty!¡± He wanted to show that he was capable of dining here. Right then, the dishes were served at Chen Hao¡¯s table. The waiter came over with two bowls of clear soup noodles. ¡°Haha, what the hell? Just two bowls of clear soup noodles? Don¡¯t you feel embarrassed?¡± ¡°My goodness! Why don¡¯t you just order two tes of rice with stir-fried potatoes instead!¡± The girls ridiculed. ¡°Excuse me, sir! Here¡¯s therge Stir-fried Bullfrog Specialty that you ordered! Please wait a moment before I bring you your next dish!¡± Right then, a waiter came over and ced a dish of Stir-fried Bullfrog Specialty on Chen Hao¡¯s table. Liu Ke and the others were still trying to cover their giggles with their hands. Immediately upon seeing that, their smiles froze... Chapter 243 Something Bad Happened Chapter 243 Something Bad Happened ¡°What the f*ck? They actually ordered that?!¡± Liu Ke was stunned. The conceited look on her face vanished immediately. ¡°Hmph! Stop trying to act cool if you can¡¯t afford to! What¡¯s the point of ordering something so expensive anyways?¡± Liu Ke attempted to mock. The other girls also tried to mock along although they felt like they had just been pped in the face. However, it was still undeniable that Chen Hao ate better than them. He spent so much just for the two of them. Unlike their table, who only ordered a small portion to feed four mouths. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Hence, the waiter couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes at them when he served their dishes. Chen Hao too, did not go over to confront them under Su Ziyue¡¯s advice. They ate and chatted in peace. After they finished, they realized that Liu Ke and the others already left. Obviously not used to being ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Chen Hao patted his stomach. Then, he left with Su Ziyue. ¡°Oh yea, Ziyue. Where are the clothes I bought you previously? Why are you not wearing them?¡± Chen Hao chuckled and looked at Su Ziyue. He used to buy Su Ziyue quite a lot of outfits. Su Ziyue lowered her gaze and blushed, ¡°I¡¯m too embarrassed to wear those expensive clothes!¡± Chen Haoughed. She was just like him. When he used to be poor, he figured that any clothes were fine as long as they looked clean. Now, Chen Hao still dressed in simple clothes to keep a low profile. However,pared to him, Su Ziyue was too hard on herself. ¡°What are you afraid of? Oh, by the way, there¡¯s a luxury store nearby. Let me buy more outfits for you!¡± ¡°Huh? No! I don¡¯t want to go! It¡¯s too expensive!¡± Su Ziyue shook her head vigorously. ¡°It¡¯s okay! Come on, I have a ck card anyways!¡± Chen Hao chuckled. He pulled Su Ziyue into the store. ¡°Tian, I want this! It looks so pretty! Do you think I look good in it?¡± Liu Ke was holding a dress. She blushed as she held it against her body and made a few poses. The dress looked really gorgeous. The rich guy Tian almost threw the dress when he saw the pricetag, ¡°What the f*ck? This dress costs around 20,000? Why don¡¯t they rob a bank instead? Come on baby, why don¡¯t you pick another dress?¡± Tian begged as he touched his wallet. ¡°Okay. What about this piece? What do you think?¡± Liu Ke asked again. He looked again. The outfit was around 10,000. It was still too expensive. The other girls only looked on in awe standing at the side with their handbags. After all, they didn¡¯t have a rich boyfriend like Tian. They couldn¡¯t afford these luxuries with their minimal wages. It is okay to benefit a little by hanging out with Liu Ke and Tian. However, it isn¡¯t realistic to ask him to buy them luxury items too! After choosing close to ten outfits, Tian still couldn¡¯t decide on one as it was too expensive for him. Liu Ke was in dismay. ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t you think that it¡¯s too much? I can¡¯t wear all of them! Moreover, they are too expensive!¡± Su Ziyue protested at Chen Hao who was holding a bag of clothes. Her heart was bleeding from the price of the clothes. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about the price! You are what you wear!¡± Chen Hao thought, It wasn¡¯t like Ziyue needs to live her life low-key. ¡°Hey, this dress looks pretty! It¡¯s cheap too! I¡¯m getting it for you!¡± Chen Hao took a look at the dressying next to Tian Ge. He chose the correct size and asked for the saleswoman who was dazed by his behavior to wrap them up. ¡°What the hell! Su Ziyue? A-A-Are you guys nuts?!¡± Liu Ke was shocked when she saw both of them as well as the amount of luxury items in their hands. There are at least ten outfits in Chen Hao¡¯s hand! ¡°Oh my God! Can you guys even afford one piece? And you guys went around and bought so many? Stop acting like a fool! Do you guys want to take more pictures?¡± The colleagues continued taunting them. It was as if someone had offended them, their dignity took a punch. Chen Hao chose to ignore them. After he was done, he headed to the cashier. Liu Ke and the others looked at each other. Then, they immediately headed toward Chen Hao and Su Ziyue¡¯s direction. ¡°Hello, sir. The clothes and the bags total up to 320,000. Would you like to¡ª?¡± To be honest, even the cashier was stunned. Liu Ke and the other''s mouth hanged in shock too. ¡°I will pay by card!¡± Chen Hao shed the ck card he was holding. The cashier immediately straightened. ¡°Sir, because you¡¯ve spent so much, our shop will give you three additional outfits for free! I would like to ask you to please pick three more outfits!¡± the cashier said dutifully. ¡°No, no. It¡¯s fine! I don¡¯t want them anymore. Chen Hao, they are too expensive! I don¡¯t want them!¡± Su Ziyue continued shaking her head vigorously. ¡°I can¡¯t even wear these many outfits. I really don¡¯t need them!¡± She was almost scared sh*tless. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you can¡¯t wear them. Let¡¯s pick three more outfits! You can give them away as presents to some of the colleagues that are closer to you. With that, you can maintain a good rtionship with them too!¡± Chen Hao smiled lightly. It was obvious that almost everyone pushed Su Ziyue around at work because she was too honest and simple-minded. Since this card had a monthly consumption of 300,000, he should just spend it anyways. Chen Hao felt that it was worth spending every penny on Su Ziyue. Maybe it was also because of his feelings for her. The colleagues that stood behind Liu Ke were surprised when they heard what Chen Hao said. Especially the other two. ¡°Wow, Ziyue! Your boyfriend is so rich! Chen Hao, was it? Young Master Chen¡¯s name sounds really good, and he¡¯s handsome too!¡± Both of them immediately came over and praised them. Wasn¡¯t the gap in their capabilities obvious now? ¡°Huh? Lili, Wenwen, thank you. But Chen Hao, he¡¯s¡ªhe¡¯s not¡ª¡± Su Ziyue wanted to say that he wasn¡¯t her boyfriend. Chen Hao took over the conversation swiftly, ¡°I¡¯m her godbrother! Moreover, I don¡¯t think I look handsome anyways. Look at my sense of fashion!¡± ¡°Haha, Young Master Chen really likes to joke around!¡± The girls flushed in embarrassment. Huh? Godbrother? Then Su Ziyue might be his mistress! However, that did not affect Su Ziyue¡¯s status in their heart. After all, Su Ziyue was backed by someone who was way richer! ¡°Ziyue, Young Master Chen bought you so many new clothes! He also said that you could give them away to your colleagues that are close to you! Do you still remember me smiling at you when you came to work at the nursery on your first day?¡± one of the girls said. ¡°Yeah! Ziyue, do you remember that I showed you to the canteen when you didn¡¯t know how to get there? Have you forgotten?¡± another girl added. ¡°I do remember!¡± Su Ziyue nodded. ¡°Hmph! Su Ziyue, it¡¯s unexpected that you have such a rich godbrother! Take all of them since he bought it for you anyways! But, I will let you know¡ªI saw that dress first! If you want to give them out as presents, you must give them to me!¡± Liu Ke almost turned green from envy. ¡°Hmph! Liu Ke, how shameful are you? You were the one who always bullied Ziyue at work. Do you think you can just demand Ziyue to give you stuff? Who do you even think you are?¡± Both of them girls snarled at Liu Ke. ¡°What the hell? You guys?¡± Liu Ke¡¯s eyes widened in anger. ¡°Okay, Ziyue. Since these two colleagues were nice to you, you should just give them those outfits as presents. I¡¯m sure that they will help you if you need anything at work in the future. Let¡¯s go, I will send you guys back to the school along the way!¡± ¡°Wow! Thanks, Young Master Chen! Of course we will help each other out, right, Ziyue? Both of the girls were over the brim with happiness. They left the shop. When they reached the parking lot to get his car, the girls were surprised once again. ¡°Huh? Ziyue, does this G Wagon belong to your godbrother? Holy sh*t!¡± He finally managed to give that arrogant Liu Ke a lesson. That noon, Chen Hao took Su Ziyue¡¯s jade and prepared to head over to Ping An County. He wanted to get Li Zhenguo to help him to investigate it. He even went to the hospital to bid Qin Ya farewell. Chen Hao drove toward Ping An County. However, right after he entered the county, he found out that the mainroad was sealed with police tape. Police, as well as many construction workers and their leaders surrounded the area. Chen Hao rolled down his windows and took off his sunsses. He was curious about themotion that was happening in front. So, he offered cigarettes to a few workers by the side and asked them about the situation. The workers saw that Chen Hao was being polite, hence they summarized the situation to him, ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t go ahead. Something bad happened!¡± Chapter 244 Visiting the Jiang Family Again Chapter 244 Visiting the Jiang Family Again ¡°What happened?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. ¡°There was initially a construction scheduled to be carried out here. However, they have now found out that some of the materials used by the developers were problematic. This caused a massive copse of the construction site ahead. Around 60 people were heavily injured, not to mention that over hundred were injured! Thank God no one passed away!¡± ¡°I also heard that the developer ran away yesterday night. Now, all the investors are in trouble. Along with the Jiangs, around ten people were suspended! They are still waiting to be dealt with as of now!¡± The construction workers continued saying. Investors? I remember Uncle Jiang was one of the investors, was he suspended too? Chen Hao asked again, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be unlikely for them to run away? Since no lives were harmed anyways, can¡¯t they justpensate them? Moreover, the main responsibility doesn¡¯t fall on the investors right?¡± ¡°Well, the developers had no budget left I guess. It was rumored that they had no money left around half a year ago. It wasn¡¯t like we knew who to demand for our sry from anyways. About the investors, well, someone has to be the scapegoat right? Besides, right now is the best time for big enterprises to invest in and develop Ping An County. Now that something like this happened, the leader must be so pissed! This is going to influence us badly!¡± Chen Hao finally understood what was going on. However, it wasn¡¯t like he had a say in it anyways. After expressing his sympathies, Chen Hao took another route and bypassed them. On the way, Chen Hao received WeChat messages from Li Zhenguo talking about the building that copsed. What a coincidence! Chen Hao took the chance to ask Li Zhenguo to find him a professional jade inspector. After all, Li Zhenguo had better connections than he does. Back at the hotel he rented, Chen Hao was preparing to leave for dinner after taking a bath. Suddenly, he received a phone call from his father. ¡°Dad?¡± Chen Hao greeted. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Hey son, I heard that something happened in our hometown that you¡¯ve invested in. Did the building really copse?¡± ¡°Well, yeah. However, my group wasn¡¯t involved in it.¡± Wow, news travels fast. ¡°I know it wasn¡¯t your group¡¯s fault. What I wanted to say was, your Uncle Jiang was suspended. Can you go over to check in with them and see if there¡¯s any way for us to help them out?¡± Chen Hao''s father pleaded. ¡°What? Didn¡¯t I tell you, dad? Uncle Jiang has clearly moved on from his friendship with you. How could you still want me to help him? Chen Hao was frustrated after hearing his father¡¯s request. Everytime his father contacted him, he would mention the Jiang family. Basically what he meant was for Chen Hao to help them out if they evernded themselves into trouble. If it wasn¡¯t for him, why would he always help Jiang Ranran who always looked down on him every time she got herself into some kind of trouble. He couldn¡¯t have cared less if it weren¡¯t for his father. However, thest time Chen Hao went to the Jiang family¡¯s house left Chen Hao utterly disappointed. He¡¯d told his father about it too. Hence Chen Hao did not care anymore although he knew that the Jiang family was in trouble. After all, ording to Uncle Jiang, Chen Hao shouldn''t bother him if he doesn''t have anything important. So, Chen Hao decided to not bother. ¡°Sigh, well, there are some things that are hard to exin. By the way, have you seen your Aunty Tang?¡± His father suddenly changed the topic. Chen Hao frowned, ¡°Yeah, I did! Why?¡± ¡°Cough, I have wronged Uncle Jiang in the past. That¡¯s why I feel really guilty about it. So even though their family couldn¡¯t care less about us, please try to help them out,¡± Chen Hao¡¯s father said, sighing. ¡°Seriously!¡± Chen Hao was so done. Is it possible that father had something going on with Aunty Tang too? Did she cheat on Uncle Jiang? ¡°Dad, what happened exactly? And who was the woman named Meng Xin that you pleaded with me to look for? Are both Aunty Tang and Meng Xin your¡ª¡± Chen Hao was mind blown. ¡°Cough cough, you brat! What are you even talking about? What I had with the both of them isn¡¯t what you imagined. As long as your Aunty Tang is still in the Jiang family, you must help them out! Just take it as if you¡¯re doing me a favor. And remember to help me search for Meng Xin too! Your mother is here, I¡¯ll be hanging up now. So long!¡± He hung up on Chen Hao. Chen Hao held onto his phone in a daze. What the hell. Chen Hao even had the thought of spilling it to his mother. After all, Chen Hao felt really guilty helping his father to keep it a secret from his mother. Sigh, whatever, I¡¯ll just trust him this time. He looked at the time¡ªit was only 5:30. Chen Hao scratched his head, I guess I have no choice but to visit Uncle Jiang. Immediately, Chen Hao drove over to the Jiang family¡¯s house. It looks like many people came over today, thought Chen Hao when he reached. Uncle Jiang was resting on the sofa with an IV needle in his arm. Apparently, he fainted and fell ill after he was suspended from his job. Some of the guests were still chit-chatting by the side. ¡°Come on, Mr. Jiang. What happened has already happened anyways, there¡¯s no use being too affected by it. The leader only suspended you in anger because the influence was too bad. Can¡¯t say for sure that he won''t hire you back after everything is over!¡± ¡°Exactly! Besides, doesn¡¯t Tang Lan work at the bank? Since she has grown up anyway, things will be fine financially!¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Li, Mr Zhao. Why don¡¯t you guys stay over for dinner tonight?¡± Jiang Weidong replied weakly. ¡°It¡¯s okay, we will not be staying for dinner. We just wanted to visit you. We got to head back now!¡± Both of them stood up and prepared to leave. ¡°Mr. Li, Mr. Zhao, do you guys really think that there¡¯s no better solution for this case anymore? Since you guys have many connections, can¡¯t you guys give us a hand?¡± However, both of them shook their heads and expressed that there wasn¡¯t much that they could do. ¡°Calm down, Aunty Lan. Before I came, my dad did tell me something about Uncle Jiang¡¯s case¡ª¡± He paused. Of course Lin Dong was here too. After saying that, Jiang Weidong as well as Jiang Ranran who looked like she had been crying looked at Lin Dong. Lin Dong thought, Hmph, looks like you guys still have to rely on me at this critical point of time, don¡¯t you? Jiang Weidong went over and held Lin Dong¡¯s hand, ¡°Lin Dong, what did your father say?¡± ¡°My father said, if you think that this is a problem, then it will be a problem and vice versa. Ultimately, this wasn¡¯t your responsibility anyways! As long as you can get a new developer to take over thend andpensate all the workers, it will be fine! After all, they deserve their hard-earned money!¡± In short, they needed more funds to retake the project. ¡°Sigh! But now that the construction project has turned sour, it is likely that we have to remove the property that we previously built too! Who would take on a project like this? Besides, the money for the county won¡¯t be able to take out arge sum like this! Jiang Weidong shook his head. It wasn¡¯t like this idea didn¡¯t cross his mind. Ding dong! Right at the moment, the doorbell rang. Jiang Weidong thought it was another one of his colleagues. He hurriedly let Tang Lan help him up, ¡°Ranran, quick! Get the door and greet our guest!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Jiang Ranran nodded and went over to open the door. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Jiang Ranran was obviously surprised when she saw Chen Hao. ¡°Sigh, why is it him again?!¡± Tang Lan sighed in disappointment. Jiang Weidong too, shook his head, clearly annoyed. He let Tang Lan help him toy down again. It was obvious that he was expecting some honorable guests. However, he only saw Chen Hao. This wasn¡¯t what he was expecting at all.... Chapter 245 Sell Off the Car Chapter 245 Sell Off the Car ¡°Uncle Jiang, Aunty Tang, I am here to visit you!¡± Chen Hao held a bag and said, smiling. Chen Hao nned to ce the bag down. Tang Lan nced at Chen Hao and did not say a word. Jiang Weidongy on the bed and did not even bat an eye. Jiang Ranran who was watching on from the side felt rather awkward that Chen Hao was neglected. After all, Jiang Ranran knew that Chen Hao might have a rather powerful status in Jin Ling City. He had even managed to own a G Wagon. That day he even sent her to the bus station. To be honest, she felt rather grateful towards Chen Hao. However, she did not have the opportunity to inform her father yet. Jiang Ranran just returned and something like this happened to her father. She felt like her world had crumbled. Thus, she was not in the mood to narrate the interesting stories in her life. At the end of the day, she decided to walk over and took over the stuff Chen Hao brought and ced it on the table. Jiang Ranran said, ¡°Thank you, Chen Hao, for dropping by to visit my father.¡± Lin Dong on the other hand winced and red at Chen Hao with enmity. Chen Hao did not know what to say as well thus he just sat down in one corner and listened to them talk. Chen Hao was already mentally prepared for such a reception from Jiang Weidong. Jiang Weidong sorrowfully groaned. ¡°Sigh, funds, we need funding. Where should we go to look for funding to take over this property?¡± ¡°Uncle Jiang, have you tried looking for Jin Ling Dreamer Investment Group? They are nning on investing ten billion in Ping An County. Have you tried approaching them for this project?¡± ¡°Of course I did. As a matter of fact, I knew a few managers of the Group and we used to be rather close as well. However, now that I paid them a visit it didn''t work. None of theirpanies were willing to take over the property!¡± Jiang Weidong painfully shook his head. ¡°However, they are the only hope we have left as this amount of money is miniscule for Dreamer Investment Group. We can beg them and as long as they nod their head in agreement, everything would be resolved! That was what my father said!¡± Lin Dong knew that he was the key to everything thus he felt great about it. ¡°Dong, I hope that you could request for your father to spend more time on this matter. Me, your Aunty Tang and Ranran would all be forever indebted to your kindness.¡± ¡°Dont worry Uncle Jiang, my father will do his best and try to help you convince Dreamer Investment Group!¡± Gosh, why would my father spend time and effort on this matter. If it wasn''t to court your daughter, Jiang Ranran, I wouldn''t even waste my time talking to you here. However, as a sign of respect and to show face, Lin Dong still had to be courteous about it. ¡°Good, that''s good. I feel more relieved with your affirmation. Dong, don''t leave tonight, stay for dinner. The same goes for Ranran¡¯s ssmates and friends, you are all wee to stay for dinner. I will ask your Aunty Tang to go and prepare the food now!¡± Jiang Weidong¡¯s expression finally became much better. Tang Lan quickly said, ¡°Alright, let me get the things prepared. Sigh, but there won''t be enough vegetables, I will have to go purchase more! Oh right, I have to get some chicken, duck and fish ready as well. My hands are tied and I wouldn''t be able to multitask!¡± Just then, her gaze swept over to Chen Hao who was sitting quietly in the corner and sipping on his water. In a rather disrespectful tone, she said, ¡°Chen Hao, since you have nothing to do here might as well head to the supermarket outside of ourmunity and help me buy some vegetables back! I will write down a grocery list for you.¡± ¡°Me?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. Well, it looks like they see me as a servant. Sigh. However, Chen Hao also felt that it was rather awkward staying behind and having to deal with all the disrespectful looks from Jiang Weidong and the others. I might as well give Li Zhenguo a call when I am downstairs and inform him to just take over the property. That way I would have sessfully aplished the mission my father assigned to me. Thus, Chen Hao agreed. If it was not because of his father, Chen Hao would not help out! He was not the kind that would keep his head low and tter others! Ha! ¡°Chen Hao, let me apany you!¡± Jiang Ranran said as she saw Chen Hao holding onto the basket and got ready to leave. ¡°Ranran! What are you doing? Can¡¯t you differentiate between important and unimportant guests? Go and attend to Dong and get him some water!¡± Jiang Weidong panicked as he heard what his daughter said. Tang Lan even noticed that something was amiss. What happened to my daughter? Since she entered the house, it seems like her attitude toward Chen Hao had changed. The whole Chen Family was not up to any good! Tang Lan even pinched Jiang Ranran and hinted to her to stay behind to apany Lin Dong. Chen Hao left and once he got downstairs, he immediately gave a call to Li Zhenguo. He informed Li Zhenguo about the matter. Certainly, Li Zhenguo had no problems with that and he started nning to handle that right away. Then, Chen Hao had no choice but to head over to the supermarket and purchase all the necessary vegetables. Just as he returned back to the house, he noticed that the Jiang Family had undergone enormous changes. ¡°Congrattions Uncle Jiang!¡± ¡°Yes, I did not expect Dreamer Investment Group to agree and take over the property. Not only that, it was paid in full, I certainly did not expect that!¡± Jiang Weidong also pulled out his intravenous drip and his expression had recovered extremely well. He held onto the cellphone in his hand as if he was hugging onto something extremely valuable. Jiang Weidong said, ¡°Come,e, everybody must apany us for drinks tonight! Especially you, Dong!¡± He felt that it must have been the help of Lin Dong¡¯s father. Or it could also possibly be his own personal connections. Nheless, his leader called and informed him that his government official position has been reinstated and that he would be in charge of the matter. Next up, he would just have to gather another round of funding and everything would be resolved. As such, he was extremely delighted. He even nced over at Lin Dong and Jiang Ranran and a different idea emerged in his mind. ¡°Ranran, let me tell you¡­¡± ¡°Chen Hao, eat up!¡± Just as he was about to say something, he saw that his daughter actually helped ce food on Chen Hao¡¯s te. Jiang Weidong¡¯s eyes popped out and he said, ¡°Ranran, what are you doing? Chen Hao has hands, can¡¯t he reach for the vegetables himself?¡± Jiang Ranran said, ¡°Father, you have no idea, Chen Hao¡­¡± Lin Dong red fiercely at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Sigh, Uncle Jiang, you might not know this. Chen Hao is no longer the same person as he used to be.¡± Since the matter had to be revealed anyway, it was better than he was the one that brought it up. Aunty Tang brought over another dish and asked, ¡°What is the difference?¡± ¡°Haha, Chen Hao had won the lottery and bought himself a Mercedes Benz G500. So amazing! Of course Ranran has to be nicer to him!¡± Lin Dong said in a jealous voice. ¡°Damn¡­¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . All the guys and girls seated around the table were stunned. ¡°How much did you win?¡± Aunty Tang asked. Chen Hao had no idea what to say. After all, in order to keep his identity a secret, he lied to Jiang Ranran and said that he won the lottery. However, he had no choice but to continue lying and make sure his secret was hidden. As such, Chen Hao said, ¡°I bought a G Wagon!¡± ¡°What? Bought a G Wagon from the prize money? Damn! You won 2 million?¡± Everyone was shocked. Chen Hao remained silent. All of a sudden, with an ice cold stare, Jiang Weidong smashed his chopsticks on the table with a loud bang. ¡°Nonsense! You are so dumb!¡± Jiang Weidong said, ¡°Chen Hao, it''s okay for other people to show off but don¡¯t you know your own financial situation? Why would you show off and buy a Mercedes Benz? There are so many other things you could do with this 2 million!¡± Jiang Weidong shook his head. Lin Dong felt ted as he felt like he had taken revenge. He smiled and said, ¡°Exactly! Uncle Jiang, think about it, this car costs 2 million. If he had taken out 1 million for fundraising or some sort, that way Uncle Jiang would also be able to arrange somebor work for him. Haha, yet Chen Hao only knew how to ssh his money away and upgrade his life in order to beparable with other rich heirs!¡± ¡°Exactly, Dong is much more knowledgeable. Chen Hao, let me ask you. Have you bought a house in Ping An County?¡± Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°Have you found a job?¡± Chen Hao shook his head again. ¡°Sigh, I have never seen someone as stupid as you. How about this, since you just bought the car not long ago, go and sell it right away. That way, you could donate a million and use the rest of the money to buy a house. That way, I could still arrange a stable job with fixed ie and proper insurance coverage for you. Something like selling roasted buns and you could just have a stable job and live your life like that!¡± ¡°Oh right, there is also something else¡­¡± Jiang Weidong sipped his alcohol and said to Chen Hao. Chapter 246 Bumped into my Close Brother Chapter 246 Bumped into my Close Brother ¡°That would be good. At first, the conditions were not met but now as long as you sell off your car and buy a house in Ping An County; consequently, with a job as a clerk in the government sector that I can provide, you could live a considerably stable life.¡± Jiang Weidong continued saying, ¡°I used to have a staff member whose sister is only three years older than you and is single. That way, when you settle everything, I could also be your matchmaker and you would be able to marry her as well.¡± Chen Hao was stunned. As long as I donate money to him, I would receive such good treatment? Just then, in a surprised voice, Jiang Ranran questioned, ¡°Father, are you referring to the sister of that staff member that works for you? Isnt-isnt she mentally challenged?¡± ¡°So what? Do you think it is easy to look for a wife now? Take a look at Chen Hao, I am not even sure if the girl would want a man like him!¡± Jiang Weidong casually said. ¡°Err...It''s okay. There is no need to trouble you!¡± Chen Hao was furious and his expression hardened. However, he thought about what his father said and suppressed his anger. Jiang Weidong though was not done with his nonsense. Once the meal was over, Jiang Weidong contacted a second hand car dealer. He ordered Chen Hao to resolve the car issue quickly. That way Chen Hao could donate a portion of it and use the remaining amount to purchase a house. Then, Jiang Weidong could also arrange a contractual job offer for Chen Hao. Then I would be considered as a public official! Chen Hao was definitely not willing to do so. He was even tempted to reveal his identity right away and embarrass them. However, he recalled what his father urged him to do. After all, his father and Aunty Tang had wronged Uncle Jiang in the past. Although Chen Hao had no idea what happened but he was in no position to say anything. He merely wanted to settle this mission given by his father so that he could get out of this mess and cut all ties. Anyway, the car did not mean anything to Chen Hao so he agreed. ¡°Alright, let Lin Dong apany you. He is more knowledgeable than you and he can help prevent you from being scammed and taken advantage by others like a fool!¡± After the meal, Jiang Weidong said casually. If Lin Dong was not the one that brought up the idea for Chen Hao to donate some money, Jiang Weidong had no intentions of helping Chen Hao to look for a job. Not even if it was a contractual job. However, now that he was going to donate some money, at the very least I could arrange a clerk job for him in any department. An ie of two to three thousand a month would be considered a sign of gratitude for his donation! Of course Lin Dong agreed to apany Chen Hao. Take advantage of you like a fool? It would be dumb of me not to let you be cheated and treated like a fool! Lin Dong¡¯s intention was very clear. He wanted to use Jiang Weidong¡¯s influence to scam all of Chen Hao¡¯s money including his car. That way he could no longer show off and brag in the future! I did not expect that Chen Hao actually agreed to such a useless job offer! Haha! How could Chen Hao not understand Lin Dong and Uncle Jiang¡¯s intentions? Chen Hao merely wanted to cut all ties with them this way and avoid anyplications as well as to shut them up. That way even if my father asks me to help them, I have a reason to turn him down. As such, Lin Dong, Jiang Ranran as well as her few close friends all headed over to the second hand car dealer. Lin Dong happily shouted. ¡°Boss,e out here. We have a car that we want to sell!¡± ¡°Coming! Oh my, a G Wagon!¡± A young man walked out and was surprised to see a G Wagon. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Lin Dong on the other hand went over to the boss and offered a cigarette. He wanted to excuse himself and talk to the boss for a minute. He wanted to ask the boss to quote Chen Hao a lower price. What he did not expect was that Chen Hao suddenly turned towards the boss of the second hand car dealer and said with a smile, ¡°Li Xiao?¡± The boss of the second hand car dealer lifted his head and upon seeing Chen Hao, he was stunned. Then, he smacked his own leg and said, ¡°Damn! Chen Hao?¡± He also walked over toward Chen Hao in excitement. Li Xiao was Chen Hao¡¯s neighbour and childhood friend. They were best buddies and yed together from a young age. He was half a year older than Chen Hao and Chen Hao owed a debt of gratitude to him. Both of them had ster academic results since young and were always top of the ss. However, certain things happened in the next few years and he was not able to continue pursuing his studies. He dropped out beforepleting high school and joined a mechanic workshop to learn the craft. Who would have known that a few yearster, his business expanded and he became the boss of a second hand car dealer. Due to the fact that Chen Hao was studying abroad and did not return home, they barely contacted each other over thest two years. However, even if childhood friends did not meet for three or five years, once they bumped into each other, the friendship between them would still be as close as it was in their childhood. ¡°When did you get back? Why didn''t you give me a call!¡± Li Xiao punched Chen Hao¡¯s chest hard. Chen Hao smiled and happily replied, ¡°I just came back not long ago. I did not return to my hometown, instead I am currently living in Jin Ling City.¡± ¡°Li Xiao, you should be serving your customer. What are you doing?¡± Just then, a girl walked out from the store. She was dressed rather fashionably and looked around the same age as Chen Hao. Chen Hao also knew the girl as they used to be in the same middle school. Back then, she was already dating Li Xiao. Her family owned the supermarket in town and was wealthy. Chen Hao did not expect their rtionship to stay strong after so many years. ¡°Hehe, this is my brother Chen Hao. Su Ting, you know him too!¡± Li Xiao smiled and said, ¡°Su Ting is already my fiancee. We got engaged three months ago!¡± ¡°Oh, Chen Hao. I thought who it was. Hurry up and take care of your customer!¡± Unexpectedly, when Su Ting saw Chen Hao, she only rolled her eyes at him before turning around and left. Of course she did not look down at him but there was a hint of hidden bitterness within her eyes. Chen Hao could only awkwardly smile. ¡°Damn! Boss, we have been standing around for such a long time. Are you all done chatting?¡± Lin Dong said, ¡°We want to sell a car!¡± Why are we so unlucky! How could the boss actually be Chen Hao¡¯s close buddy? How am I supposed to scam his money then! Li Xiao smiled and said, ¡°Oh, oh, who wants to sell their car? Mister, is it you who wants to sell this G Wagon?¡± Lin Dong said, ¡°Haha, I am just helping out on behalf of Chen Hao. The G Wagon belongs to him. He had been driving it for quite some time so we will sell it to you for a million!¡± Then he turned to Chen Hao and continued saying, ¡°Chen Hao, since this is your close buddy, you wouldn''t sell for an expensive price right? As long as you can make a small profit that would be enough!¡± Lin Dong started going on and on before Chen Hao could even say a word. Li Xiao on the other hand was stunned and said, ¡°Chen Hao, this is your car?¡± Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°Yup. I will exin to youter. It would be great if I could sell this car to you as well!¡± Li Xiao nodded his head and circled around the car to take a look. He then opened up the bo and inspected the interior parts. He said, ¡°This car costs around two million and you barely drove it for a month. Chen Hao, why are you selling it for only a million? Who is this person that is selling on your behalf?¡± Upon hearing Lin Dong mention selling this car for a million, Li Xiao¡¯s attitude toward him became hostile. Lin Dong said, ¡°Chen Hao is selling this car because he is in a hurry to buy a house, get married and find a job. As long as he manages to sell off this car, Uncle Jiang and I will immediately arrange everything for him. It would be a stable job and he would never be retrenched. Hehe!¡± ¡°Are you serious? Both a job and a wife?¡± Li Xiao looked at Chen Hao with relief. If it was a stable job and a wife, then this transaction was rather worth it. Li Xiao was also happy for his close buddy. Chen Hao could only give a bitter smile. He was not able to inform his close buddy, Li Xiao that he was just merely repaying a debt of gratitude on behalf of his father! ¡°However, Mister, I don''t have that much money. Oh right, have a cigarette. I hope you can help look after my close buddy!¡± Li Xiao said while offering a cigarette of his own to Lin Dong. Lin Dong did not ept his cigarette, instead lighted up his own and took a puff. ¡°Oh, oh, since you don''t have that much money, why would you open a used car dealership? Forget it, we will head to the shop next door! Chen Hao, you see, it''s not that we don''t want to sell to your close buddy but he has no money to pay us!¡± Lin Dong wanted to embarrass Li Xiao in front of Chen Hao. ¡°It''s okay, there is no need for one million. Take this car for free. I am not using it anyway!¡± Chen Hao casually smiled. ¡°Damn! Chen Hao are you mad?¡± Even Jiang Ranran looked at Chen Hao in shock. Chapter 247 The 100,000 Passbook Chapter 247 The 100,000 Passbook This car was Chen Hao¡¯s biggest asset. Now, he was actually going to give it away to his friend. Chen Hao, why are you being so pretentious?! Jiang Ranran initially had a favorable impression of Chen Hao, however now she couldn¡¯t help but feel annoyed. She acted as if the car belonged to her. To be honest, Jiang Ranran actually regarded Chen Hao as her boyfriend at certain emotional moments. However now¡­ Sigh! She really did not want to talk about it. ¡°Chen Hao, how can you do this? This is your brand new car, so how can you give it to me just like that? I only have 700,000 on my hands. Since you bought this car with 2 million, hence I will buy it from you for 1.8 million. However, I can only return you the rest of the money after I manage to sell this car.¡± ¡°Then, make it 700,000 then.¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly. He knew that if he really did give his car to Li Xiao for free, Li Xiao definitely would not want it. However, how could Chen Hao¡¯s G-wagonpensate for the things that happened in the past? ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, Li Xiao. I will exin things to youter. Make it 700,000 then and let¡¯s sign the contract.¡± Chen Hao patted Li Xiao on the shoulder. On the other hand, Li Xiao did not say anything further, because he thought to himself that he would return the rest of the money to Chen Hao after he sold the car. It did not matter whether there was a contract or not. Just like that, Chen Hao signed the contract and sold off his car under Jiang Ranran¡¯s shocked look, coupled with Lin Dong¡¯s smirk. Then, he followed through on the agreement and helped Jiang Weidong out by donating 500,000. He was left with 200,000. ¡°Lin Dong, Ranran, my cousin is a real estate agent. They are open today, and they haven¡¯t gotten off work yet. Since Chen Hao wants to buy a house, we can head over to my cousin¡¯s ce then. Let me give her a call. 200,000 should barely cover the down payment,¡± one of the girls amongst Jiang Ranran¡¯s two female friends who came here together with Lin Dong and her said with a smile. ¡°Ok then!¡± Jiang Ranran nodded her head casually. With that, Chen Hao would be a poor man. Other than a house and a mortgage loan, he did not have anything else. His time in the spotlight was over. He was done for. On the other hand, the reason that Chen Hao had agreed to give his car away and even donate some money to Jiang Weidong was to help his father return a favor and not for anything else. If it was up to him, he would never have bothered about a person like Jiang Weidong. At that moment, he heard Jiang Ranran¡¯s friend talk about the neighborhood that her cousin was selling. It had a pretty good location, and Chen Hao happened to be nning to buy some properties in Ping An County to be used as amodation for some senior executives. The original n was to buy an entire building and convert it into a staff dormitory, but now, he could go there by himself to take a look and reserve one of the properties there first. It wasn¡¯t a major issue. Hence, after bidding his farewell to Li Xiao, he followed them there. It was quite a simple procedure to buy a house. N?velDrama.Org content. He just needed to choose one property, pay the down payment and sign a contract. Then, he just needed to wait for the bank to approve the mortgage loan. ¡°My dear cousin and Lin Dong, I am so grateful to you all. It¡¯ste now, so please stay behind. I will treat the four of you to supper. Haha, I will treat you all today.¡± At this moment, the girl¡¯s cousin said happily to the four of them. As for Chen Hao, he was standing at the side with the purchase agreement. It was reasonable to say that he was a customer, and that was his money. Even if she wanted to treat them, he should be included as well. In the end, this salesperson actually ignored him! Haha, of course he was ignored. One look at Chen Hao and you knew that he was an unlearned person. So, there was no reason for a salesperson to try to curry favor with him. As long as she managed to sell the house to him, she could just ignore him. ¡°That won¡¯t do. There is no way that we are allowing you to treat us today. Think about it guys, what¡¯s the grand asion today? Chen Hao finally bought a house! Of course, supper is on him.¡± Lin Dong was so happy that heughed heartily. ¡°That¡¯s right, Chen Hao. We have been following you around from 7pm and it is almost 11pm now. Moreover, you managed to purchase a house with our help. Let me tell you this, you would not be able to get this kind of price if it wasn¡¯t for my connections. You can dream on,¡± said that girl with contempt. ¡°By the way, I will pay for supper tonight. Just eat whatever you want. However, let¡¯s keep the expenses at 10,000!¡± said Lin Dong with a smile at the moment. ¡°Huh? Chen Hao is treating us, so why do you need to fork out the money, Dong?¡± ¡°Everybody might not know this but I owed Chen Hao 10,000. Hence I am treating you all on his behalf. Then, the IOU can be waived.¡± Lin Dong thought to himself, No way am I letting you get back your 10,000! I rather treat the guests than return it to you. ¡°Ok then, let¡¯s go. I am getting off work soon.¡± The salesperson was happy as well. At this moment, Jiang Ranran¡¯s mobile phone rang. It was Jiang Weidong. ¡°What is happening here? Didn¡¯t I ask him to donate at least 800,000, and I will arrange a job for him? Why is it only 500,000?¡± ¡°Father, he only sold his car for 700,000. He sold it to one of his friends.¡± ¡°You stupid girl! He only donated 500,000, so I can only give him a token of appreciation. As for the job, I can only think of a wayter. Hmph!¡± Jiang Weidong said coldly before he hung up the phone. ¡°Chen Hao, my father said¡­¡± At this moment, Jiang Ranran looked at Chen Hao with embarrassment and told him that he might need to wait for the job. Chen Hao smiled indifferently. ¡°I understand. You don¡¯t have to help me find a job anymore. As for supper, you guys can go ahead by yourselves. I don¡¯t n on going anymore. Farewell.¡± With that, he threw out Lin Dong¡¯s IOU from his pockets and walked away immediately. When Chen Hao came out, he did not know why, but he wasn¡¯t as angry as he waspared to the past when they ridiculed him. After all, they did not belong to the same world as he was. On the other hand, he had given the Jiang family some financial assistance first in order to tide them over this financial crisis. Then, he also donated some money to Jiang Weidong. In a manner of speaking, he had already returned the favor that his father owed, no matter how big it was. He had paid for his father¡¯s debts. So now, they were even. As for the future of the Jiang family, he did not have to bother about it anymore. So, why should he go and have a meal with Jiang Ranran and the rest of them?! That night, Chen Hao went back to his hotel room to sleep. It was only 7am in the morning when his phone rang. It turned out to be Li Xiao. ¡°Chen Hao, are you awake? If you are free,e to my shop. I will ask my wife to make some breakfast for you. I have something to tell you as well. Your car has been sold, soe here first, alright?¡± said Li Xiao through the phone. Yesterday night, when Li Xiao knew that Chen Hao was strapped for cash, he pulled some strings with some of his colleagues in order to find a buyer for Chen Hao as soon as possible. On the other hand, Chen Hao definitely missed Li Xiao. To be honest, if Li Xiao had not called him today, he would have gone to find Li Xiao himself. Even before returning to Ping An County, Chen Hao had him on his mind. After washing and getting dressed, he went to Li Xiao¡¯s used car dealership straightaway. ¡°Chen Hao, you are really lucky. Yesterday night, one of my friends found a buyer for me. Haha, I sold it for 850,000. ording to our agreement, I will give you 1.1 million. It¡¯s all thanks to you that I manage to earn 50,000 out of thin air.!¡± When Chen Hao reached the car shop, Li Xiao dragged Chen Hao into a room and locked the door. Then he said those things to Chen Hao in a mysterious manner. With that, he took out the check and tried to give it to Chen Hao. Of course, Chen Hao refused to take it. In addition to that, it was still unknown whether Li Xiao did make any money out of it. Just when they were shoving the check at each other¡­ ¡°Li Xiao, open the door now. Damn it, tell me where did my 100,000 passbook go to?¡± Su Ting who ran out from the kitchen was pounding on the door while screaming at Li Xiao. Chapter 248 The Blind Date Chapter 248 The Blind Date ¡°What do you mean by your savings of 100,000?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. Just as he walked through the door, he saw an agitated Su Ting. ¡°Don¡¯t ask about it. I need the money!¡± Li Xiao said awkwardly. ¡°Why do you need the money? What is that in your hand? My god! What are you going to do with that big amount of paycheck?¡± Su Ting felt on edge as she saw the paycheck in his hand. ¡°This is for Chen Hao. How is it possible for me to pay him only 700,000 to buy his new car which is worth 2 million?¡± Li Xiao said. ¡°Why isn¡¯t it possible? It''s not wrong of you to take advantage of him! He is the only person that you have the right to take advantage of! Give me the paycheck!¡± Su Ting snatched away the paycheck. ¡°Hmph! The car was sold for 1.8 million and you gave him the 700,000. Don¡¯t forget that we still need to pay 100,000 for themission!¡± Su Ting flipped the paycheck and looked at the amount clearly. ¡°1.1 million? What does this mean, Li Xiao? I get it now. The 100,000 you took from me is for Chen Hao. This means that we¡¯ve lost 100,000 for this deal! Are you crazy?¡± As she finished her words, she grasped a beer bottle in a fury and flung it toward Li Xiao. However, the bottle didn¡¯t hit him but the ground in front of Chen Hao instead. Li Xiao was furious at her and both of them were about to fight. Indeed, the car wasn¡¯t sold for 1.8 million as Li Xiao said. Li Xiao paid for themission in order to find a buyer and sold the car with zero profit. He noticed that Chen Hao was unhappy yesterday, probably because he was short of money. And so, he did that to get the money for Chen Hao as soon as possible. That was why Li Xiao didn¡¯t mind having the deficit deal in order to help Chen Hao. Obviously, Su Ting smashed the beer bottle deliberately to show Chen Hao her anger. ¡°Give me the paycheck! I¡¯ve promised to pay Chen Hao 1.8 million! Give it to me!¡± ¡°Why? No way! It¡¯s not like we owe him anything. Besides, if it wasn¡¯t because of Chen Hao, you wouldn''t have stabbed the others in the fight and got expelled from school back then, and we wouldn¡¯t have to live such a difficult life now. You were the top student in our year at that time!¡± Su Ting sobbed while saying that. ¡°F*ck you! Watch your words!¡± Li Xiao scolded her with his face all red. Standing between the both of them, Chen Hao managed to stop the fight. Chen Hao felt his heart ache whenever he recalled that incident. He grew up together with Li Xiao who came from a poor family as well. Thus, the two of them became best friends as they understood each other¡¯s situation better than anyone else. The two good buddies had always studied together. Li Xiao was the kind of student who was naughty but did well academically. It wasmon for him to fight in the school. He often fought in order to protect Chen Hao. The reason for Chen Hao to have said that the darkest moment in his life was during his senior years but not junior years in secondary school, was that he didn¡¯t get bullied that often in his junior years as Li Xiao was having his back that time. Back then, Chen Hao had a female friend during his junior years in secondary school. They were not a couple but had always exchanged letters with each other. Later on, a famous punk from their school was interested in that girl. Knowing Chen Hao was close to her, the punk brought his underlings to beat Chen Hao up after school to vent his jealousy. Li Xiao was with Chen Hao at that time. Seeing Chen Hao beaten up by the gang, he got into the fight as well to help Chen Hao. As a result of panic, he identally stabbed the punk during the fight. Luckily, it wasn¡¯t a severe wound and the punk was still alive. However, Li Xiao was expelled from the school due to that incident. After Li Xiao left the school, Chen Hao got beaten up several times. As for the female friend who was once close to Chen Hao, she soon became the girlfriend of that punk. That terrible incident traumatized Chen Hao, whichter caused him to be awkward and shy whenever he was around girls in his senior years in high school and in college as well. Since then, Chen Hao was grateful and remembered Li Xiao¡¯s kindness all the time. After getting expelled from the school, Li Xiao started to join a group of gangsters outside of the school and even ran away from home. When Chen Hao started going to college, he found it difficult to contact Li Xiao as Li Xiao had changed his phone number several times. In short, Chen Hao could be considered as the main factor to the downfall of Li Xiao¡¯s bright future. And that was why Su Ting hated Chen Hao a lot. Su Ting was a nice girl. Her family ran a supermarket business in the town. Although her family was quite rich, she never looked down on Li Xiao and was in a rtionship with him since their first year in secondary school. Chen Hao had a very good impression of Su Ting. Therefore, no matter how mean she treated him or reprimanded him, Chen Hao didn¡¯t feel angry about it. Chen Hao simply felt happy because he saw Li Xiao was doing quite well these few years. Li Xiao and Su Ting stopped quarreling after Chen Hao¡¯s mediation. Su Ting then brought them some breakfast. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . They talked about their days back in school while having their meal. Chen Hao also told Li Xiao that his G Wagon was actually a prize from a lucky draw session. But he hesitated whether to tell Li Xiao about his identity. It was mainly because he was afraid that telling Li Xiao about the truth would put their precious friendship to an end. Of course, no matter what, Chen Hao would never hesitate to help Li Xiao at all cost now. ¡°Look, Chen Hao, I don¡¯t feel appropriate to take all the money. I already have a fianc¨¦e but you haven¡¯t settled down yet. It¡¯s uncertain for you to marry the girl that you''re dating in Jin Ling. You¡¯ll definitely need money for the wedding. I¡¯ll take a small portion from the profit and you take the rest of it.¡± Li Xiao insisted on giving the money to Chen Hao. Chen Hao refused and told Li Xiao that he would leave immediately if Li Xiao insisted on giving him the money. Only then did Li Xiao give in. ¡°Hmph. That¡¯s right. With this money, Xiao, you could expand your business! Let¡¯s take it as Noticing the dissatisfaction on Li Xiao''s face, she quickly changed the topic and said, ¡°Oh yeah, Xiao. A few days ago, a colleague of mine called me saying that one of her besties is still single and looking for a partner. She''s the same age as us and my colleague asked me if I could introduce anyone to her. How about introducing Chen Hao to her? Let¡¯s arrange a blind date for them. If they could be a match, Chen Hao can finally settle down and form a family. You would help Chen Hao a big deal in that case!¡± Li Xiao pped his own thigh andughed. ¡°Sounds great! Chen Hao, let¡¯s arrange the blind date! Since the girl is rushing to get married, you could settle down by the end of this year if the date is sessful. Unlike that city girl you''re dating who is too demanding and the expectations from her family are even higher. It''s too unrealistic!¡± Li Xiao said in concern. Chen Hao shook his head and turned Li Xiao down. ¡°Why not? Let¡¯s just meet her once. It''s not like you''re being forced to marry her right away. If you think that it¡¯s a good match, only then you start dating her. If you¡¯re not interested in her, you can still maintain as friends!¡± Li Xiao was really concerned about Chen Hao. Because of that, Chen Hao felt embarrassed to decline his goodwill anymore. It was impossible for him to tell Li Xiao to stop worrying about him since he was now a super-rich heir. Chen Hao would rather kill himself than do that. Left with no choice, he nodded his head and agreed. ¡°Alright.¡± After all, it was just a meet. As Li Xiao said, they could just be friends after that. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s great! I¡¯ll arrange the date now. That girl is from Ping An County. Let¡¯s see if we can have lunch togetherter!¡± Su Ting was happy about that. After finishing breakfast, Su Ting asked Chen Hao to head back and get ready for the meet. He left right after that. Not long after he left, he received a call from Li Zhenguo¡­ Chapter 249 An Encounter at the Bank Chapter 249 An Encounter at the Bank Li Zhenguo called to talk about the jade pendant. He inquired around and found out that there was an old and experienced master at the Jade Antique Street in Ping An County. ording to Li Zhenguo, the old master was very famous in the local area. His craftsmanship was passed down from his ancestors. Needless to say, it was better to find an old master to examine this kind of ancient jade. Chen Hao had decided to let the old master have a look at the jade first. If he couldn¡¯t get any information from him, he would then find some other masters across the country. After all, the old director didn''t know anything about Meng Xin¡¯s identity. It was impossible for Chen Hao to carry out the investigation if there were no clues at all. Hence, that jade was the only clue that he had. At first, Li Zhenguo wanted to apany Chen Hao. But since Chen Hao¡¯s father had told him that it would be better if fewer people knew about Meng Xin¡¯s case, and coupled with the fact that Li Zhenguo was busy at the moment, he decided to go on his own. After all, Chen Hao knew the way to that street. The Jade Antique Street was not big, with only several shops selling ancient porcin. When Chen Hao reached the ce, an old man with a long and white beard, dressed in a Tang suit as well as a pair of spectacles, was already waiting for his arrival. It was obvious that Li Zhenguo had arranged everything beforehand. ¡°Hello Mr. Chen, I am Xu Monian,¡± Xu Monian smiled at Chen Hao and said. ¡°Nice to meet you, Mr. Xu. Let''s get down to business. I would like you to help me appraise a jade pendant as well as finding out its history, including its age and origin. Anyway, it will be better if I can get more details from it!¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Chen Hao went straight to the point. After that, he carefully took out the jade pendant. When Xu Monian saw this jade pendant, his eyes couldn''t help but twitch slightly. Immediately, with a respectful expression, he carefully took the jade pendant from Chen Hao. ¡°This kind of jade is exceedingly rare! It¡¯s a good quality jade, an extraordinary one! How did you get your hands on this jade, Mr. Chen?¡± Xu Monian asked curiously. He looked at Chen Hao up and down but couldn¡¯t figure out his background. Usually, those who owned this kind of jade were filthy rich. From that, Chen Hao realized that Li Zhenguo didn¡¯t reveal his identity to this man although he had arranged for this meeting. At that moment, he said, ¡°Mr. Xu, you don''t need to know. Just tell me the origin of this jade pendant.¡± Xu Monian said, ¡°I apologize that due to my poor eyesight, it''s a bit difficult for me to tell you the origin of the jade pendant right away. However, judging from the feel and the texture of the jade, I think I¡¯ve seen some relevant records in one of the notes left by my ancestors. Mr. Chen, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to leave the jade pendant here? I''ll let you know once I find out anything.¡± ¡°Alright. I hope you can check on it as soon as possible!¡± Since Li Zhenguo had made the arrangement, he must have known the background of this old master. Chen Hao thought about it and then nodded his head. After a short chat, Chen Hao was ready to leave. What should I do now? It was still a little early to go for his blind date. And so, Hao nned to withdraw some money now as the ce where he bought the house was just nearby. Since Chen Hao also had his agreement contract in his bag, he figured he should just pay off the remaining bnce for the house. After all, Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to get a loan. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± At this time, a girl suddenly called out to Chen Hao. Obviously, she was very surprised to have met him here. Chen Hao was surprised too when he turned and looked at the girl. The girl came out from the shop, so it was obvious that she was living here. It was none other than Xu Xin, Jiang Ranran¡¯s best friend. When Chen Hao first went to Jiang Ranran''s house, the beautiful Xu Xin had left a deep impression on Chen Hao. He thought that she was a very kind girl. Chen Hao smiled and asked, ¡°Xu Xin, is this your house?¡± Xu Xin walked toward him and replied with a smile, ¡°Yep, he is my grandfather! By the way, why are you here in our shop?¡± Xu Monian was stunned at first, then he quickly lectured Xu Xin and said, ¡°Xin, how can you speak like that? You should call him Mr. Chen!¡± Xu Monian was unclear about Chen Hao¡¯s background, but he knew that Chen Hao was definitely not an ordinary person. After all, the middle-aged man who had asked him to listen to Mr. Chen¡¯s order was close to the county head and even knew the president of the National Association for antique research. Otherwise, Xu Yinian wouldn¡¯t be so respectful to Chen Hao. Hearing Xu Xin talked in that casual manner, he couldn''t help but remind her. Xu Xinughed and replied, ¡°Oh, grandpa, this is my new friend, Chen Hao. He¡¯s also a childhood friend of Ranran¡¯s!¡± Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s ok Mr. Xu. I¡¯ll just leave you to your work.¡± Xu Xin asked, ¡°Ah? Chen Hao, you haven''t told me about your business with my grandfather?¡± Chen Hao replied, ¡°I am here to ask for a favor from your grandfather, nothing much.¡± ¡°Oh, then, you shoulde into my house. I''ll make you some tea!¡± ¡°Maybe next time, since I¡¯ll being here again soon. For now, I''m going to the bank over there to withdraw some money!¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°Just in time, I''m going to the bank as well to deliver my mother''s phone. Let¡¯s go together!¡± Xu Xin said as she went out with Chen Hao. At first, Chen Hao had decided to withdraw his money and leave quietly. However, he didn''t expect to meet Xu Xin here. Though he felt slightly awkward, he nodded lightly. ¡°Did your mother forget to take her phone with her?¡± Chen Hao asked. Xu Xin replied, ¡°Ahem, that''s not it. It¡¯s more like she left out one of her mobile phones. Sigh, my mother''s bank is in urgent need to attract funds. Although my mother is the deputy director, she has targets to achieve too. She has to use several phones to contact different customers, hence, she''s super busy!¡± They chatted as they walked into the bank. ¡°Mom! Here¡¯s your phone!¡± In the lobby, a middle-aged woman was already waiting for Xu Xin. At that moment, she was stunned when she saw Chen Hao with her daughter. Xu Xin¡¯s mother asked, ¡°Xin, who is this?¡± Xu Xin introduced, ¡°This is my friend Chen Hao. I¡¯ve mentioned to you before that he treated me to a French meal in a Western restaurant. Hehe, he is here to withdraw some money!¡± ¡°Ah? So this is the young man that you mentioned. Not bad, he looks nice and handsome! Are you two going out on a date?¡± her mother asked. Chen Hao thought, Don¡¯t tell me she thinks that I am Xu Xin''s boyfriend. ¡°Oh, I am here to withdraw some money to pay for the house!¡± Xu Xin¡¯s mother said happily, ¡°Ah! So you¡¯ve bought your own house!¡± Her daughter had told her about the French cuisine dinner treat from this young man the other day. Since French cuisine was quite costly, it showed that the financial background of this young man was not bad. Now, she liked Chen Hao even better as soon as she heard that he had bought a house. ¡°Whoa, deputy director Lin, who bought a house?¡± At this time, they heard a cold and mocking voice. A middle-aged woman was walking toward them. Looking at the middle-aged woman that had arrived at the lobby, Chen Hao was stunned. It was Jiang Ranran''s mother, Tang Lan. Indeed, Tang Lan also worked in the bank. She was in the management team as well as the deputy director. So, she was at the same level as Xu Xin''s mother. Chen Hao was a bit surprised to have met her as soon as he came here. At this time, Tang Lan also saw Chen Hao and asked in surprise, ¡°Chen Hao? What are you doing here?¡± Chen Hao replied nonchntly, ¡°I am here to withdraw some money.¡± He didn¡¯t even bother calling her Aunty Tang. ¡°Hmph, well Chen Hao, you don¡¯t even call me Aunty Tang now anymore. What''s the matter? Have you stopped showing off? Are you out of money? Are you here to withdraw money for your living expenses? You think you can be snobbish now just because you have won the lottery?¡± ¡°And regarding your job, initially we might be able to arrange a position in a goodpany for you in a month''s time since you¡¯ve donated 500,000. But it seems like there are some other people who have donated more than that, so Uncle Jiang has put you on the waiting list. He would arrange other frence jobs for you if there¡¯s any opportunity,¡± Tang Lan took the initiative to rify the matter first. Xu Xin¡¯s mother asked in surprise, ¡°Deputy Director Tang, what did you say? Who¡¯s out of money?¡± ¡°You don''t know about it? Ah, no wonder. I''m afraid Xu Xin doesn''t know either. Chen Hao is now...¡± Tang Lan then told them the story about how Chen Hao and his family used to be very poor, and even how Chen Hao had sold his car to buy a house. She even stressed the fact that Chen Hao had now be a poor man. This made Xu Xin''s mother shiver right away. Damn, I almost pushed my daughter into the lion¡¯s den! ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve bought the phone that you¡¯ve asked for!¡± At this time, there was a sound of a car braking outside. Following that, several people entered the bank. They were Jiang Ranran, Lin Dong, and the two female friends who were with them yesterday. It seemed that they were going out to have fun again. At the same time, they dropped by to deliver the phone to Tang Lan. Jiang Ranran saw Chen Hao at a nce and asked, ¡°Chen Hao, what are you doing here?¡± Chapter 250 A Blind Date Chapter 250 A Blind Date ¡°Hmph! Do you even need to ask? He must be here to get some pocket money, duh! You guys don¡¯t know this, but I noticed his wallet yesterday and it was empty, haha!¡± Lin Dong burst intoughter. Jiang Ranran only gave Chen Hao the side eye and did not say anything else. In the past when Chen Hao was still rich, Jiang Ranran had feelings toward him. However, a series of incidents caused by Chen Hao had made Jiang Ranran lose her feelings right away. ¡°Yeah! He came over to withdraw money along with Xu Xin!¡± Tang Lan replied, smiling. Jiang Ranran¡¯s face suddenly tensed up as if she had realized something. She immediately pulled Xu Xin to the side and started telling Xu Xin about how Chen Hao was broke now and might have intentions to trick her. Xu Xin looked at Chen Hao nervously, ¡°Chen Hao, why would you want to sell off your car? Furthermore, why would you sell it at such a low price?¡± She was thinking for him when she said that. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you next time if I have the chance to. But first, I need to withdraw some money. I still have something I need to attend to at noon!¡± Chen Hao gave Xu Xin a smile. Ignoring the others, he then headed toward the counter. However, Lin Dong wasn¡¯t satisfied so he brought the other girls along to keep an eye on Chen Hao. He wanted to see Chen Hao make a fool out of himself. ¡°Sir, how much would you like to withdraw?¡± the bank teller asked. ¡°Around 600,000!¡± Chen Hao replied lightly. ¡°What the f*ck? 600,000?!¡± Lin Dong was stunned at that moment. Jiang Ranran was taken back too. Even Tang Lan and Xu Xin¡¯s mother who were preparing to go inside looked over in their direction. ¡°Alright, sir. Please wait for a moment!¡± the bank teller announced. He then let Chen Hao enter his password and signature. Cha-ching! The sound of the bill counter rang around the ce. Lin Dong¡¯s taunting smile froze. ¡°Y-Y-You still have money? Didn¡¯t you spend all of it on a car?¡± Lin Dong eximed. ¡°When have I ever said that I used up all my money on my car?¡± Chen Hao snapped. ¡°Well then, how much more money did you win from the lottery?¡± Jiang Ranran questioned. Right then, Xu Xin¡¯s mother and Tang Lan walked over. ¡°I won around¡­¡± Chen Hao purposely raised his voice. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened and started crowding in. ¡°Nah, it ain''t that much really. I won¡¯t say it!¡± ¡°You!¡± Jiang Ranran fumed. With that amount of money, even Chen Hao¡¯s small bag couldn¡¯t manage to fit all of it in. Coincidentally, one of the workers came over to change the ck stic bag for the trash can. Hence, Chen Hao requested for a bag as well. After fitting all his money into the bag, he gave Xu Xin a word and left. ¡°It seems that he still has money!¡± Aunty Tang eximed. ¡°Yeah. I can¡¯t imagine how much money he managed to win from the lottery!¡± Jiang Ranran gushed. She felt like she had done something that she would regret. ¡°Damn. From what I saw, Chen Hao had intentionally acted like he¡¯s poor!¡± Lin Dong¡¯s hatred toward Chen Hao intensified. That was because he felt utterly humiliated by Chen Hao¡¯s action just now. It was as if he received a painful p from him. At that moment, he had even lost his mood to have fun. Back to Chen Hao. By this time, Chen Hao had already gone back to the property sales office to humiliate the salesperson. He decided to buy the house down with a full payment in cash. A one time payment of around 700,000. What a powerful move! It was already noon by the time Chen Hao had managed to settle everything. He even received phone calls from Li Xiao prompting him to be faster. Chen Hao rushed home to change into a new outfit and hurried to a restaurant called Jin Ruyi. Right then, in one of the private rooms of the restaurant. Li Xiao and Su Ting had already reached. Apart from them, there were three more people in the room. One of them was Su Ting¡¯s best friend while the other was a girl who came for this blind date. She looked quite pretty with her long flowy hair, fairplexion and soft features. However, it was obvious that she wasn¡¯t much of a talker. Giving off a hostile vibe, she had her head lowered as she scrolled through WeChat on her phone. Thedy who sat beside her was no doubt her mother. The girl¡¯s mother was a chubby middle-aged woman with thick tattooed brows. She looked tough and intimidating. ¡°Chen Hao is a really nice person. We''re not boasting, you guys will know when you see him! He graduated from a prestigious university, and he looks decent too! He had recently got a job, and I heard he will be entering the public office soon. Moreover, he had just bought a house in Ping An County!¡± Su Ting started chatting with them. After all, her friendship with Chen Hao had always been great ever since junior high because of Li Xiao. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . She only started holding a grudge against Chen Hao because of what happened to Li Xiao after that. However, most of her resentments had cleared up by now. She still cared about Chen Hao and would help him out if she could. ¡°How big is the house? It better not be less than three bedrooms! If it doesn¡¯t have at least three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, it doesn¡¯t even count as a house!¡± Suddenly, the girl who came for the blind date looked up and chided in. ¡°How could it be? Of course it has three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, haha!¡± Li Xiao said. ¡°That¡¯s good. What about his car? What brand of car does he drive?¡± The one that asked this time was the girl¡¯s mother. ¡°Oh! He has not gotten a car yet. But, usually cars don¡¯t really cost much anyways!¡± Li Xiao mused. ¡°Ahem! Actually, cars and houses don''t really matter to us. As long as he is an honest man, it will be fine. Definitely not those who boast around and talk too much, though!¡± the mother added. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I can assure you that he¡¯s definitely an honest man!¡± Su Ting remarked, ¡°We sort of grew up together, so we are sure of his personality!¡± Everyone was still chatting when Chen Hao entered the room. ¡°Chen Hao,e over! I will introduce you to everyone!¡± Li Xiao chuckled and started introducing everyone. After sizing up Chen Hao, the middle-aged woman decided that Chen Hao looked like he was quite honest. She felt relieved. Not a momentter, the dishes were served. Both sides started eating and making asional small talks. ¡°Hey, why isn¡¯t thest dish served yet? I will go urge them to be faster!¡± Su Ting¡¯s colleague said. She gave Su Ting a look and smiled mischievously. Then, the three of them decided to go together. Li Xiaoughed and gave Chen Hao a few pats on the shoulder, hinting for him to not screw it up. Seeing that they left, the middle-aged woman wiped her mouth with a tissue. ¡°You¡¯re Chen Hao, right? We all know that you''re quite a modest man. Let me ask you, what do you think of my daughter?¡± thedy inquired. Of course he was modest! This was Chen Hao¡¯s first blind date. Moreover, the woman looked very fierce. If Li Xiao didn¡¯t throw him any questions, he wouldn¡¯t have said anything. ¡°She¡¯s not bad!¡± Chen Hao answered. The girl immediately looked up and gave Chen Hao a re. She then pouted and lowered her head again with disdain. What the f*ck? What kind of look was that? Chen Hao scolded in his heart. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, my daughter currently works at Da Heng Production Trading Company under the Dreamer Investment Group. You know them right? They are a very powerful enterprise. Do you know how hard it is to be able to work there?¡± The woman pressed on. If Chen Hao remembered correctly, Da Heng Production Trading Company was only a smallpany that Dreamer Investment Group invested in. There were actually quite a few other projects that helped assist the locals. How dared she say that she was under the Dreamer''s Group? Chen Haoughed a little inside. He nodded but at the same time, couldn¡¯t help but thought, This girl seems normal and she doesn''t look bad at all. Why would she want to marry beneath her? ¡°Well, my daughter wants to marry an honest man. But, before getting married to you, you need to promise me a few things. Listen!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Hao was confused. What the hell? What is she trying to do? Chapter 251 A Fight Began Chapter 251 A Fight Began Wasn¡¯t he just meeting a friend? From what Chen Hao heard, it seemed like they were about to be engaged. That was why he broke out in a cold sweat. The woman said, ¡°Firstly, before my daughter marries you, you have to give her your house and car¡­ Oh, you still don¡¯t own a car. The house then. The house which is registered under your name should be changed to my daughter¡¯s name, and not owned by both of you. That¡¯s how you show your sincerity, am I right?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head with a poker-face. My most expensive estate is worth 800 million. Would you dare take it? Ha. The woman continued, ¡°Secondly, I want to talk about your parents. You have an elder sister, right? I¡¯m just going to be outright. If your sister gets married in the future, the bride price of your sister will go into my daughter¡¯s ount. You can¡¯t send it back. Also, your sry and the sry your parents make will be managed by my daughter. Is this alright? Of course, your parents cannot live with you. Your family lives in a county, therefore, if your parents want toe to the city for a few days, it¡¯s eptable. However, they have to rent a house or live in a hotel!¡± The woman asked again, ¡°Did you hear me?¡± Chen Hao nodded his head vigorously. ¡°Yes, yes. Please continue!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t just nod his head, but reached for a notebook and pen from his bag and wrote it down. It was his first time on a blind date and it really broadened his horizons. Damn! Chen Hao wanted to know what other unreasonable conditions there could be. If he wasn¡¯t introduced to them by Su Ting¡¯s colleague, Chen Hao would have suspected that the two were frauds. The woman saw that Chen Hao was very obedient, and she was secretly delighted. She continued, ¡°Thirdly, I want to talk about the wedding. I don¡¯t need to tell you where my daughter works, right? Ha, everyone who is somebody wille to the wedding. The car that you drive to the wedding cannot be too low ss. Honey, how about an Audi?¡± The woman couldn¡¯t make up her mind so she asked her daughter. The daughter flipped her hair calmly and said, ¡°Perhaps a Mercedes or a BMW. If it was a BMW, it would have to be a 7 Series model or above!¡± The woman said to Chen Hao, ¡°Alright then. Mercedes or BMW, it¡¯s up to you!¡± ¡°Fourthly¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s a fourth? I thought there were only three?¡± Chen Hao gaped. ¡°You!¡± The woman and the daughter raised their heads to roll their eyes at him. ¡°Oh, excuse me. What¡¯s the fourth one? Go on please, I¡¯m listening!¡± Chen Hao said seriously. ¡°Fourthly, I want to discuss the bride price. We don¡¯t want too much; it¡¯s just for disying splendor. We¡¯ll have a myriad of red and a piece of green!¡± ¡°Wait, what¡¯s a myriad of red and a piece of green?¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Tsk, I¡¯m speechless. A myriad of red and a piece of green is about 150,000. This should be in cash. We don¡¯t ept deposit books or bank cards, only cash. That¡¯s how we do it! Of course, this is the bride price for engagement. When you two get married, you need to pay for our clothes. There¡¯s another thing. We have spent a lot of money to find a job for our daughter, and her brother still needs to study, so we won¡¯t give you any money! Anyway, we hope that you two can live happily together, which is the most important thing!¡± ¡°Can we really really live happily together?¡± Chen Hao muttered under his breath while nodding understandingly. ¡°Huh? What did you say?¡± The woman was startled. ¡°I said alright! Please do continue!¡± Chen Hao smiled. Of course he wouldn¡¯t marry her. He was just curious about these conditions. The woman added, ¡°Fifthly, which is also the most important thing, after my daughter marries you, you can¡¯t touch her for three years. This is our family¡¯s rule. Three yearster, you have to get my daughter¡¯s permission to touch her.¡± Damn! Chen Hao¡¯s pen dropped to the floor. He waspletely blown away. ¡°You don¡¯t need to put on such a face. Just think about how hard it is today to get married to someone. Besides, my daughter is a pretty and elegant woman with an excellent job. You¡¯re very lucky!¡± The woman had just finished speaking when the girl suddenly covered her mouth and retched. ¡°Mom, help me to the bathroom! argh~¡± Under the support of her mother, the daughter retched as she made her way to the bathroom. Chen Hao had sweat dripping off his head. To be honest, if it weren¡¯t for Li Xiao, Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t havee. Seeing how this was unfolding, Chen Hao wanted to make a run for it. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue. He wanted to use the bathroom as well, so he got up. He didn¡¯t expect to hear the woman¡¯s voice when he neared the bathroom. She was patting the daughter¡¯s back and saying, ¡°What? The reaction was this intense?¡± The woman sounded worried. ¡°Yes, this little bastard kicked me again!¡± The woman said, ¡°Ah, I told you that you should pay attention. Why did you get involved with that ck man?¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t talk about Jack like that. He¡¯s not an ordinary ck man. He¡¯s from M Country! He said he would definitelye back for me after three years!¡± Outside, Chen Hao waspletely speechless and thunderstruck by their actions. No wonder that pretty daughter of hers was in a rush to get married. They were looking for someone to clean up the mess. It was equivalent to buy one get one free, but with a ck baby as the present. No, I can¡¯t do it anymore. If I continue, there is no way to end it! Chen Hao thought. He wanted to look for Li Xiao, but they had obviously escaped. Chen Hao didn¡¯t know what to do so he returned to his seat. Soon, the mother and daughter returned. ¡°Alright Chen Hao, did you understand clearly what we just said? If you understand clearly, then go back and find a suitable date and try to get married by this month!¡± The woman crossed her arms. ¡°Wait, I have something to say!¡± Chen Hao was still dumbfounded. ¡°Huh? You have something to say? What is it?¡± The woman was impatient. Chen Hao turned to the girl and asked, ¡°Can I look at you?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you already looking at me? What else do you want to see?¡± She frowned and rolled her eyes at Chen Hao. ¡°I want you to lift up your dress and let me have a look. I want to check!¡± Chen Hao exined. ¡°What?¡± The woman and the girl widened their eyes. Goodness, they were on a blind date and this hotel was a high-ss ce. How could this person say such a lewd thing in the open? ¡°Are you crazy?¡± The girl stood up suddenly, causing the ss to fall off the table and break. ¡°F*ck, if I wasn¡¯t mental, I wouldn¡¯t have stayed here with you two! I have had enough. What kind of girl is she to raise so many conditions?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and insulted them. They had treated him like a fool. It was alright at the beginning but after overhearing them in the Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. washroom, Chen Hao was getting angrier by the minute. So he wanted to pick a fight. ¡°Bastard!¡± Smack! The woman was a feisty one and her facial features became distorted. She lunged forward and started smacking and pping Chen Hao in the face. ¡°F*ck you!¡± Smack! Chen Hao pped her back. He was not weak and the woman fell over. At this moment, Su Ting, Li Xiao and the matchmaker returned, chatting happily. Li Xiao said, ¡°You have to make sure this goes right!¡± The matchmaker reassured, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Think of the rtionship between Tingting and I. Besides, I think the girl and her family are quite pleased with Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Haha, let¡¯s go and hear what they are talking about!¡± Li Xiao and the others arrived at the door but had no ns to go inside. Then they heard the sound of tableware breaking and tables shing. The three of them were rmed and they opened the door hurriedly¡­ Chapter 252 Meeting Again Chapter 252 Meeting Again When Li Xiao and the others went in, Chen Hao was already fighting with the mother and daughter. The three were shocked and they hurried over to stop the fight. Thank goodness they seeded, because Li Xiao knew that if Chen Hao got agitated, he could be ruthless. However, some damage was done. Half of the woman¡¯s face was already swollen. The mother and daughter were swearing when Li Xiao pulled them away. Li Xiao then gave them a ride back home. Su Ting was restless. What had happened? She got in the car as well. Li Xiao suggested that they go to his ce for dinner so that he could ask Chen Hao why they fought. Apart from the light p in the beginning, Chen Hao was barely injured. As for the reason why Chen Hao wanted to pick a fight, firstly, both of them were too irritating and they were asking for it because they tricked him. Secondly, the daughter was from China and she was an eligible bachelorette, but she had sex with a ck guy. Chen Hao didn¡¯t feel that it was right, so he was angry. With the two reasonsbined, Chen Hao spoke meanly and hit back after she had pped him. After all, they were not rted and he wasn¡¯t that poor boy from before. Why should he be easily pped? In the lobby, Chen Hao had just finished paying the bill. It was a pity that the food that filled the table was untouched. ¡°Huh? Chen Hao, why are you here? It¡¯s such a coincidence!¡± After paying the bill, Chen Hao heard someone calling him. Turning his head around, he saw that it was Xu Xin and her mother. ¡°Chen Hao, are you here for lunch as well?¡± Xu Xin asked. ¡°Sort of!¡± Chen Hao smiled awkwardly. ¡°So have you eaten or not?¡± ¡°I have already eaten. Kind of!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Ha, you¡¯re funny!¡± Xu Xin chuckled at his words. ¡°If you haven¡¯t eaten, you cane with us. My mom was just wondering when she would see you again. She wanted to treat you becausest time you treated me to a fancy French meal!¡± ¡°Right, Mom?¡± Xu Xin smiled. Lin Xiaofeng smiled at Chen Hao and nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m treating you young people today. Chen Hao, if you¡¯re free, you can join us¡­¡± Lin Xiaofeng had heard Tang Lan talk about Chen Hao before. She thought that Chen Hao was a poor loser as well. Initially, she didn¡¯t want her daughter to be with him. But Chen Hao had taken 600,000 in cash out of his bank ount at once. It was a p in their faces. The more Lin Xiaofeng thought about it, the queerer she felt. N?velDrama.Org content. She could tell that Chen Hao was very collected and would not be enraged by mockery. He seemed unlike ordinary people. With all things considered, she wanted to make friends with him. That was why she wanted Xu Xin to ask him out for a meal. Today at noon, Lin Xiaofeng finally seeded in contacting someone which she took pains to find. She found that person through her kindergarten friend¡¯s nephew. Her nephew had a very widework and was able to get that contact. Lin Xiaofeng then reserved a table. That old man wasn¡¯t free but a rich upstart was. She thought that gathering more young people together would be more fun, so she told Xu Xin toe. Then they bumped into Chen Hao, which made it even better! The reason? Haha, it was because before the end of this year, the director would be retiring and the next director would be picked among the two deputy directors. She and Tang Lan becamepetitors. ¡°Look, even my mom is inviting you. Come on, let¡¯s have lunch together!¡± Xu Xin said. Chen Hao rubbed his belly. He had used quite some energy just now and indeed felt a bit hungry. The main thing was he hadn¡¯t really eaten. On top of that, with this enthusiastic invitation, he couldn¡¯t turn it down. He nodded. At this moment, Li Xiao called him. ¡°Damn, Chen Hao, I¡¯m so sorry. I know why you fought with them now. If Su Ting didn¡¯t stop me, I would have hit them myself. This is in fraud!¡± Li Xiao said angrily. It seemed like Li Xiao knew what had happened. ¡°Su Ting and her colleague just had a fight. She told me to send her apologies to you. She trusted that colleague and didn¡¯t expect her to introduce such a woman to you. I was wondering why that woman was throwing up in my car! Ahem!¡± Li Xiao said remorsefully. He wanted to do something nice for his friend but now, after introducing such a person, he felt quite embarrassed. It¡¯s alright Li Xiao. Right, where are you guys? Did you take them home?¡± ¡°Who would take them home? That mother identally bbed while they were in my car. After I understood what happened, I kicked them out. I¡¯m going to the supermarket with Su Ting now. Come over to have some alcohol at night!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± After a while, they hung up the phone. Chen Hao sighed. How could he possibly me Li Xiao and Su Ting for this? He didn¡¯t think about it anymore and went to the private room with Xu Xin and her mother. ¡°When will Young Master Li and his friendse? Come to think of it, that Young Master Li really knows his way around. Once he knew that I was introduced by his aunt, he was extremely courteous. He even said he would bring a couple friends along! Regardless of whether this deal goes through or not, his aunt and I both owe him one. Xu Xin, if only you could find such a boyfriend!¡± Lin Xiaofeng said carelessly. ¡°Mom! What are you talking about?¡± Xu Xin pouted her lips. ¡°Mrs. Lin?¡± Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open. A boy came in smiling as he spoke. Behind him were three boys and a girl. They were all young people like Chen Hao and Xu Xin. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re Li Wenyang, right?¡± Lin Xiaofeng greeted him with a smile. Li Wenyang nodded his head. ¡°Yes, Mrs. Lin. Sorry for beingte!¡± ¡°Haha, no need to apologize, we have just arrived as well. Your aunt has often told me how handsome you are. I didn¡¯t believe her then but now I see that it¡¯s true. You¡¯re even more handsome than she described!¡± ¡°You really know how to give apliment, Mrs. Lin. Let me introduce the others to you first. This is Liu Meng, my high school friend and also my good friend. His family has a factory. This is Jiang Xueqing, also my high school friend. As for this guy, he is the Deputy Manager of the Human Resources Department in Xueqing¡¯spany, Zhao Jie! Also, Xueqing¡¯spany is affiliated to Dreamer Investment Group! Haha!¡± Li Wenyang said proudly with one hand in his pocket. ¡°Oh my, you all have achieved so much at a young age!¡± Lin Xiaofeng was amazed, but she didn¡¯t realize that out of the four people who came in the room, three were already in shock. ¡°Li Wenyang, this is my daughter Xu Xin. She is the same age as you but she has not achieved much!¡± ¡°Haha. Oh yes, this is a normal friend that Xu Xin had gotten to know not long ago¡­¡± Lin Xiaofeng seemed anxious to not let Li Wenyang and the others have the impression that Chen Hao was Xu Xin¡¯s boyfriend, so she made a very detailed introduction. Before she could even finish, Li Wenyang interrupted her. ¡°Mrs. Lin, you don¡¯t have to introduce us. His name is Chen Hao, and we know him. He is also our high school ssmate!¡± Li Wenyang looked at Chen Hao with a sneer. During theirst gathering, Chen Hao had humiliated him. He had yet to get his revenge. That day, he was supposed to be the main character but his limelight was stolen by Chen Hao, and he was hit until he bled! One could say that during those days, Li Wenyang could see Chen Hao pping his face whenever he closed his eyes. It had be his nightmare. He was extremely angry. He was constantly searching for an opportunity to gain his reputation back when Chen Hao was present, and trample all over him. So when he saw him, he was quite startled. Then he sneered. Chen Hao, enemies were really bound to meet! Chen Hao stood up as well and smiled at Jiang Xueqing. ¡°Xueqing, we meet again!¡± Chapter 253 Li Wenyang’s Plan Chapter 253 Li Wenyang¡¯s n ¡°Chen Hao, do you know Mrs. Lin?¡± Last time at the hospital, when Jiang Xueqing saw that Chen Hao drove a G500 and knew the Head of Department of the county hospital, it really shocked her. To be honest, Chen Hao was really radiant that day. But she still felt that Chen Haocked something inparison with Li Wenyang and Zhao Jie, who was beside her. Li Wenyang¡¯s family had a hugepany, but he had also founded apany himself and was a boss now. Though his car was not as nice as Chen Hao¡¯s G500, Li Wenyang had good prospects. As for Zhao Jie, he was the Deputy Manager of Human Resources whom Jiang Xueqing suspected of helping her. He was the management of arge group. His sry was standard and he had a year-end bonus. He had his own career and was a handsome white-cor worker. But what about Chen Hao? What did he have? Though Chen Hao was famous among his ssmates now, Jiang Xueqing treated Chen Hao differently. She wasn¡¯t as enthusiastic as she was in high school. ¡°Yes, I do. I didn¡¯t know that Mrs. Lin invited you. It¡¯s such a coincidence!¡± Chen Hao nodded. Though some people in the group disliked Chen Hao, they all sat down to eat and chat. Chen Hao sat aside and noticed something different. Li Wenyang and Jiang Xueqing seemed to be a bit distant with each otherpared tost time. How to put it? Jiang Xueqing had always stuck to Li Wenyang, and Li Wenyang also liked her. But now, most of her attention was on Zhao Jie. Li Wenyang alternated between looking at Chen Hao coldly and looking at Zhao Jie enviously. All in all, he wore a somewhat sour look. But Li Wenyang was notpletely pissed off. Because Xu Xin brightened him up. In terms of appearance, she was as pretty as Jiang Xueqing. She had a look of innocence which made people adore her. So as Li Wenyang was envying Zhao Jie, he didn¡¯t forget topliment Xu Xin. Liu Meng also thought that Xu Xin was pretty so heplimented her, but after seeing the look on Li Wenyang¡¯s face, he didn¡¯t dare to do it again. The most awkward thing was, Xu Xin seemed to be interested in Chen Hao. She kept piling food on Chen Hao¡¯s te with her chopsticks. This pissed Li Wenyang and Liu Meng off. In brief, though they looked harmonious, there were strong undercurrents. At this moment, Li Wenyang eyed Chen Hao and gave Liu Meng a look. Then the two excused themselves to head toward the bathroom. ¡°Wenyang, what¡¯s the matter? Are you interested in Xu Xin? She¡¯s my¡­¡± Liu Meng said. ¡°Scram. Let¡¯s not talk about this for the moment. I want to say that today, I finally have the chance to take revenge on Chen Hao and make that b*tch Jiang Xueqing and Xu Xin pay attention to me!¡± Li Wenyang remembered the awkwardness while they were eating and said fiercely. ¡°What? Wenyang? Are you going to take revenge on Chen Hao? What are you nning to do?¡± Liu Meng was excited as well. Apart from Li Zhao, Liu Meng also joined the fightst time. Li Meng was one of Li Wenyang¡¯s second- inmand in high school. His family had a factory, he was rich and he was good at fighting. ¡°Right, a few days ago when we were out drinking, didn¡¯t you have a friend named Yang Wenlong who was in a gang? How about this. Later, you call Wenlong and tell him toe over to scare us. They probably can¡¯t solve it, so I¡¯ll step forward and take care of it. At the same time, I¡¯ll call Jin. Haha, everyone in Ping An County would be respectful to Jin, even the people from Jin Ling!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t just scare them. It would be best if they beat Chen Hao up. That¡¯s how he should be humiliated!¡± Li Wenyang said. Liu Meng heard him and praised him. ¡°This is a really good idea!¡± ¡°Yes, Jin was very sorry to me because he couldn¡¯t help me outst time. He told me if anything happened to me in the future, he would help me if he could!¡± Li Wenyang said smugly. ¡°Alright, then it¡¯s decided. I¡¯ll go and call Wenlong now!¡± Liu Meng phoned him immediately. Then the two returned to the room, pretending that nothing had happened, but they were very obviously excited. Chen Hao munched on his pork tripe and pondered over what the two wereughing about. Soon, there was some noise outside. ¡°What are you doing? You can¡¯t go in there!¡± A waitress¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Piss off!¡± A man swore. Then, the door of the private room was kicked open. Seven or eight strong men with a crew cut and wearing golden nes barged in. They were half-naked and tattooed all over. They looked domineering. They held their t-shirts in their hands and coldly surveyed the room. The leader was wearing a t-shirt and holding a purse. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, ¡°Who reserved this ce? Change it to another ce now!¡± ¡°Why? Who are you people?¡± Xu Xin stood up angrily. She was not afraid of them. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Who am I? I¡¯m Yang Wenlong. If you don¡¯t know me, go out and ask!¡± Yang Wenlong said as he stomped on his cigarette butt, holding his purse. Lin Xiaofeng raised her brow. Apparently, she had heard about Yang Wenlong. ¡°Mr. Yang, we haven¡¯t finished eating yet. How can we change?¡± Lin Xiaofeng smiled apologetically. ¡°How? Everyone grab a te and go eat somewhere else!¡± Yang Wenlong sneered. Then the atmosphere froze. Lin Xiaofeng didn¡¯t know what else to say. If they held their tes outside to eat, wouldn¡¯t it cause Li Wenyang to lose face? She could only tug on her irritable daughter¡¯s arm helplessly and told her to sit down. Li Wenyang and Liu Meng looked at the scene unfold calmly. But Li Wenyang grew a bit anxious. Damn, Chen Hao is sort of the host today, so why hasn¡¯t he said anything? ording to n A, as soon as Chen Hao opens his mouth, he would be beaten up! He is so mousy! At this moment, Chen Hao was thinking, Usually Li Wenyang and Liu Meng would beg for attention. They should be saying something at this moment. I shouldn¡¯t say or do anything to steal their limelight! Who would have thought that they wouldn¡¯t do anything? Why are they so skittish? So he didn¡¯t move as well. ¡°So no one wants to talk? That¡¯s great. Don¡¯t me me for being impolite!¡± Yang Wenlong stretched his neck and there were cracking sounds. Bam! Suddenly, Zhao Jie smacked the table. ¡°I¡¯ll see if you would dare to do so. Do you have no regard for thew? Xueqing, call the police!¡± Zhao Jie looked at them coldly with one hand in his pocket. At this moment, Jiang Xueqing thought that Zhao Jie was even more handsome. She was looking at him with worship, causing Liu Meng to grow anxious for Li Wenyang. Seeming to say, ¡°Look, Zhao Jie is stealing the spotlight!¡± Li Wenyang smiled bitterly in secret. Stealing the spotlight? Ha, let Zhao Jie and Chen Hao go first. Someone has to do something! At this moment, Zhao Jie was ying hero and he turned his head around to give Jiang Xueqing a reassuring look. Jiang Xueqing nodded her head and took out her phone to call the police. ¡°F*ck! You don¡¯t show me any respect. Brothers, hit him!¡± Yang Wenlong panicked and took a chair to smash it on Zhao Jie. During the fight, someone had grabbed Jiang Xueqing¡¯s phone and broke it. Jiang Xueqing was pale with terror and she leaned toward Li Wenyang. Zhao Jie was pinned to the ground and beaten up severely. ¡°Stop it, stop it. What should we do?¡± Lin Xiaofeng was close to tears. Li Wenyang thought it was about time as he looked at Xu Xin and Jiang Xueqing. But Chen Hao still hadn¡¯t done anything yet. He cursed under his breath and thought he would find others to pick a fight and beat him upter. Suddenly, someone smacked the table again. Li Wenyang put both hands into his pocket. He was squinting and his head was slightly lowered. ¡°Stop immediately!¡± he ordered coldly. Chapter 254 You’re Here Chapter 254 You¡¯re Here Li Wenyang stood up and shouted. Yang Wenlong stopped immediately. ¡°Kid, are you looking for death?¡± Yang Wenlong looked at him fiercely and walked over to him. ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. Do you know who Wenyang¡¯s father is?¡± Though Jiang Xueqing was familiar with some worldly ways, she had never seen anything like this before. When this happened, the sense of security that Zhao Jie gave her disappeared instantly. It was Li Wenyang who was much better after all. In this moment of panic, Jiang Xueqing had used Li Wenyang¡¯s family background to scare him. ¡°Hmph! Who¡¯s your father?¡± Jiang Xueqing wanted to retort but her arm was tugged by Li Wenyang, indicating her to not speak. ¡°Xueqing, I have long said that my father won¡¯t interfere in my affairs anymore. Stand behind me. It¡¯s alright, I can take care of it!¡± Li Wenyang said. ¡°Huh? Are you sure, Wenyang?¡± ¡°Stand behind me!¡± Li Wenyang roared impressively at Jiang Xueqing. Jiang Xueqing nodded her head heavily. Though she was yelled at, she felt a sense of security that she hadn¡¯t felt for a long time. She obediently stood behind him. ¡°Wenlong, is it? My name is Li Wenyang. I have a smallpany myself, and I know that you are quite famous. A godbrother of mine is from Jin Ling but he knows you as well!¡± Li Wenyang smiled with one hand in his pocket. ¡°Oh?¡± Yang Wenlong pretended to be thunderstruck. When Lin Xiaofeng saw how calm Li Wenyang was when faced with this situation, she liked him even more. ¡°Your godbrother knows me and he¡¯s from Jin Ling? What¡¯s his name?¡± Yang Wenlong asked after a pause. ¡°Jin Biao. The gangs in Jin Ling and Ping An County call him Master Jin. Have you heard of him before?¡± Li Wenyang smiled. ¡°What? Jin Biao is your godbrother?¡± Yang Wenlong paled instantly. To be honest, his acting was pretty good. ¡°Bullshit. Jin Biao is a well-known figure. How would you know someone from Jin Ling Group?¡± Yang Wenlong said suspiciously. Lin Xiaofeng was doubtful as well. She thought, Is Li Wenyang this impressive? Was he really Jin Biao¡¯s godbrother? ¡°Haha, you don¡¯t believe me, do you? If you don¡¯t believe me, I can call him if you want to, and you can talk to him directly,¡± Li Wenyang said, then dialed Jin Biao¡¯s phone. Of course, he had told Mr. Jin in advance and asked him to follow his lead and say something, mostly to teach his enemy a lesson. Because Jin Biao didn¡¯t help him outst time, he wanted to help Li Wenyang this time to teach his enemy a lesson, so he promised. ¡°Mr. Jin, are you busy? I¡¯m in a situation here¡­ Oh, I¡¯m at Wishes Grand Hotel. A person named Yang Wenlong is trying to pick a fight!¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re nearby and you¡¯reing over?¡± Li Wenyang was delighted. They had agreed on the phone that Mr. Jin would support him by saying a few things to the other party. He didn¡¯t expect Mr. Jin toe in person. Then, he hung up the phone excitedly. ¡°It really is Jin Biao!¡± Yang Wenlong pretended to be in shock and acted like he was too scared to move. The condition for acting with Li Wenyang was getting to know Jin Biao. After all, Yang Wenlong knew that Li Wenyang¡¯s family was quite powerful. Or else, he wouldn¡¯t have stayed around. ¡°Hmph, are you afraid now?¡± Jiang Xueqing mocked. They had just smashed her phone and she was still angry about it. Later, the door of the private room was pushed open. A youth wearing a suit and tie walked in. ¡°Who¡¯s making a scene?¡± he asked mildly. The young man¡¯s eyes were like that of a hawk. Yang Wenlong took one look at this young man and was startled. ¡°It really is you, Jin Biao. Ha, I¡¯m Yang Wenlong and I was just hanging around North Street! It was just a misunderstanding!¡± Jin Biao had coincidentally been invited to a KTV nearby. Remembering how much help he had received from Li Wenyang¡¯s family, he thought that it wouldn¡¯t hurt to help him out a bit. So, he came over to take a look. ¡°Haha, I was just wondering what happened. Wenyang, are you hurt?¡± Jin Biao asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine, Mr. Jin!¡± Li Wenyang walked over to Jin Biao and lit a cigarette for him. Jin Biao had only inhaled a few mouthfuls when the cigarette fell to the floor. ¡°Mr. Jin, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Li Wenyang asked curiously. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ you¡¯re here?¡± Jin Biao looked at Chen Hao in shock, who was still in his seat. He knew clearly who Chen Hao was. He was one of the few in Jin Ling Group that was familiar with Chen Hao. Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect this honest and simple driver, Jin Biao, to be good friends with idle people like Li Wenyang. ¡°Mmhmm!¡± Chen Hao nodded. Liu Meng, who was at the side, wanted to make himself known to Jin Biao. So, he went up to Jin Biao and said respectfully, ¡°Jin Biao, he¡¯s the kid that we were supposed to beat up today!¡± ¡°What? You wanted to beat h-him up?¡± Jin Biao¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Hmph, Jin Biao, this boy wronged your godbrother. This is a p in the face for me. Let me go over and beat him up!¡± Yang Wenlong didn¡¯t understand what Jin Biao¡¯s expression meant. He was about to act, but Jin Biao raised his foot first and kicked the eighty-pound Yang Wenlong away. Yang Wenlongnded heavily on the floor. ¡°F*ck. How dare you say something impolite! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± As a driver, Jin Biao was one good fighter. They were about to beat Young Master Chen up. Didn¡¯t it mean that he had to beat him up as well? He was in trouble! Li Wenyang was frightened. Didn¡¯t they agree that they were going to tell Yang Wenlong off? Why did This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. he hit him? ¡°Mr. Jin, what are you doing?¡± Smack! Jin Biao raised his hand and pped Li Wenyang¡¯s face ruthlessly. ¡°Motherf*cker, you have no idea what you¡¯re getting yourself into!¡± Then he kicked Li Wenyang away as well. Jiang Xueqing and the others were all stunned. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Didn¡¯t Li Wenyang ask Mr. Jin toe? Why did he hit both Li Wenyang and Yang Wenlong?¡± Lin Xiaofeng clutched her daughter¡¯s hand tightly. She couldn¡¯t afford to tick any of them off. Half of Li Wenyang¡¯s face was swollen. ¡°Mr. Jin, why did you hit me?¡± Feeling aggrieved, he wept. He thought today would be a simple affair. He wanted Mr. Jin and Yang Wenlong to cooperate with him so that he could appear to be impressive, and also beat Chen Hao up. But the result was, Yang Wenlong and he himself got beaten up. Jin Biao ignored Li Wenyang. Stepping on his fingers, Jin Biao walked toward the crowd. Lin Xiaofeng was scared to death. ¡°Mr. Jin, we didn¡¯t do you any wrong. What are you doing?¡± Jin Biao had suddenly grabbed a bottle of red wine, and Jiang Xueqing was so frightened that she took a few steps backward. He walked over to Chen Hao and wore a simple smile. ¡°So, you¡¯re here! Please listen to me, it isn¡¯t what it seems to be!¡± he said, pouring wine for Chen Hao. Then, Jin Biao kneeled in front of Chen Hao nervously. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s going on?¡± Everyone was shocked. Chapter 255 The Mysterious Chen Hao Chapter 255 The Mysterious Chen Hao The respectful way in which Jin Biao treated Chen Hao shocked everyone, especially Jiang Xueqing. She began to look at him a different way. She had thought that Chen Hao had normal rtions. She didn¡¯t expect Chen Hao to know all kinds of people! And a big shot like Jin Biao had no hesitation in beating others up when he heard that they were going to hit Chen Hao. ¡°What a coincidence. If you hadn¡¯te today, I would have been in for a beating!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. Now, he could tell what was going on with Yang Wenlong. It was obviously Li Wenyang who was behind this. No wonder they were smiling smugly just now. ¡°You¡¯re kidding!¡± Jin Biao bowed. This meal was pretty awkward. Anyway, Chen Hao was full. Lin Xiaofeng was not in the mood to continue the meal after she saw Li Wenyang being beaten up badly. So, she had paid the bill long ago. ¡°Mr. Jin, it seems like you know Chen Hao and you are quite close with him. You have such great capacity. I¡¯m the Deputy Director of the bank. If your group wants to invest and requires a working fund, please use our bank!¡± Lin Xiaofeng didn¡¯t forget to make friends with him. Jin Biao did have the power to let some subsidiarypanies circte funds between them and the Bank of China. But at that moment, he turned to Chen Hao and looked at him questioningly. Chen Hao nodded slightly. If Lin Xiaofeng hadn¡¯t treated him to a meal today, she probably would have made a business deal. Now, her n had gone wayward because of him, so he thought it couldn¡¯t hurt to help her out. Therefore, he agreed. At this moment, Yang Wenlong and the others broke into a fight again. This time, they were beating Li Wenyang up. They wanted to use Li Wenyang to get to know Jin Biao, but now they had wronged Jin Biao instead. Yang Wenlong was filled with hatred! They all vented their anger on Li Wenyang. Chen Hao listened to the howls of Li Wenyang and smiled coldly. He thought, Their punches are way too light! Jiang Xueqing stared at Chen Hao with aplicated look. Chen Hao only talked to Xu Xin and acted like he didn¡¯t see her. Being neglected made her feel inferior. Then the meal ended. Jin Biao had his car with him, so Chen Hao asked Jin Biao to drive him back to the hotel. ¡°Xu Xin, no wonder your grandfather said he wasn¡¯t simple. Today, I finally understand what he meant!¡± Lin Xiaofeng had only juste to her senses. Last night during dinner, Xu Xin¡¯s grandfather had said there was more to him than met the eye. She hadn¡¯t given it much thought, but now she understood. ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t think Chen Hao was this awesome. He really knows a lot of people. Oh right! Mom, you reminded me of something. Remember the incident at the KTVst time? Why didn¡¯t I think of it?¡± Xu Xin smacked her forehead. Jiang Xueqing wanted to wait for the gang to finish venting their anger and help the boys afterward, but she was afraid to go in. At the same time, she was afraid to wait there alone as she was scared that Yang Wenlong would take revenge on her. So, Jiang Xueqing followed Chen Hao and the rest when they left. Chen Hao didn¡¯t say anything to her and departed. At this moment, Jiang Xueqing was walking right next to Lin Xiaofeng and her daughter deliberately. That was why she heard what Xu Xin said. ¡°What happened at the KTV?¡± Before Lin Xiaofeng could open her mouth, Jiang Xueqing had asked eagerly. ¡°Oh, when we were at the KTV, a friend pissed someone off and we got into a fight with Liu Li of Liu¡¯s Mining Group from Ping An County. Lin Dong was very capable but he was extremely frightened at that time. After all, they had pissed off Liu Li, and Liu Li told us girls to stay behind to drink with him!¡± ¡°What? Xu Xin, why didn¡¯t you tell me that this happened?¡± Lin Xiaofeng only knew that Chen Hao had treated her to a fancy meal. She had only just found out that there was a big conflict that day. ¡°I was afraid that you would be worried. Just hear me out. Ranran and I were close to tears at that time because Lin Dong and the others had run off. Guess what happened?¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Xiaofeng said anxiously. ¡°At this moment of danger, Chen Hao took care of the whole thing. Liu Li let us go immediately. It¡¯s scary to think of what might have happened if he wasn¡¯t there!¡± Xu Xin said. She thought that perhaps that was when she started to have an indescribable feeling toward Chen Hao. ¡°What happened to Chen Hao? Did you leave him alone with Liu Li? Would Liu Li let him off that easily?¡± This time, it was Jiang Xueqing who asked. ¡°I know, right? This is the part that I don¡¯t understand. Afterward, I was very worried about Chen Hao, so I told everyone to go back for him. But when we returned, we saw ten or more Mercedes-Maybachs parked outside the KTV. Liu Li and his gang of friends were beaten up by a group of men in ck! We thought there was a gun fight!¡± ¡°We were worried about Chen Hao. When we finally found him, he was in the restaurant beside the KTV, eating an expensive French meal like nothing had happened! Chen Hao then treated me to a fancy meal! But when I asked what happened at the KTV, he was very vague and I felt that he was hiding something from me! Now I think I know why!¡± ¡°Tsss¡­¡± Lin Xiaofeng inhaled deeply. ¡°This would mean that those men who beat Liu Li up were probably called over there by Chen Hao. He wouldn¡¯t have bore the responsibility if he had the lower hand. It is even more unlikely that he would be enjoying his meal calmly!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right!¡± Xu Xin nodded vigorously. Jiang Xueqing was dumbfounded. She quickly said, ¡°No wonder at our student reunion, a boy named Li Chao said that Chen Hao was good friends with Liu Li. Once, Li Chao had seen Chen Hao kick Liu Li¡¯s butt, but Liu Liughed and didn¡¯t say anything! Is it possible that the reason Liu Li was unkind to Chen Hao was because Chen Hao had hit him first?¡± After hearing Jiang Xueqing¡¯s detailed exnation, they thought that Chen Hao was more mysterious than ever. ¡°I know! Xu Xin, if I¡¯m not wrong, you¡¯ve hit the jackpot. Chen Hao is highly likely to be the Young Master Chen from Jin Ling!¡± Lin Xiaofeng said. ¡°Ah!¡± Her words made Jiang Xueqing tremble. Her bag dropped onto the floor. It was like someone was stabbing her heart ruthlessly. ¡°Mom! That¡¯s impossible!¡± Xu Xin couldn¡¯t believe it herself too. She almost stopped breathing. ¡°Haha, I was just kidding. However, Chen Hao really is extraordinary. Even Mr. Jin was respectful toward him and helped me reach my target. My target is now overfulfilled! He¡¯s also very nice to you, Xu Xin. I¡¯m telling you, you have to stay close to Chen Hao. It¡¯s very possible that you are one of the handful of friends he has in Ping An County. After all, the Jiang¡¯s look down upon him, and his ssmates do too. Only you are good to him, so make good use of this opportunity!¡± Lin Xiaofeng said merrily. Her words made Jiang Xueqing feel ashamed of herself. If everything went smoothly, who would be Chen Hao¡¯s best friend in Ping An County? It had to be her! A while ago when they met, Chen Hao was very warm to her, unlike now! Jiang Xueqing felt like she had lost something at this moment¡­ In the afternoon, Lin Xiaofeng returned to the bank to work in high spirits. N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Haha, Deputy Director Lin, why are you so happy? Did you meet a patron and hit your target?¡± Seeing how happy Lin Xiaofeng is, Tang Lan couldn¡¯t help but ask sourly. Chapter 256 Shop was Smashed Chapter 256 Shop was Smashed ¡°Deputy Director Tang, it¡¯s rare for Deputy Director Lin to be so happy. Don¡¯t ruin it for her. Her target is so high, even the Director might not be able to fulfill it, not to mention her!¡± A woman who was close to Tang Lan mocked. Tang Lan said smugly, ¡°Yes, Deputy Director Lin wouldn¡¯t have such an ability!¡± Lin Xiaofeng smiled but did not speak. At this moment. ¡°President!¡± ¡°President!¡± A middle-aged man ran into the office with his head full of sweat. The staff all stood up to address him. ¡°President Zhu, what¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re sweating like crazy!¡± Due to her husband, Tang Lan was respected by the president. But unexpectedly, President Zhu, who had always been polite to her, didn¡¯t look at her now. He didn¡¯t even seem to hear her. He went directly to Lin Xiaofeng. ¡°Xiaofeng, you have done a great deed for our bank. I don¡¯t even know how to thank you!¡± President Zhu was extremely excited. ¡°President Zhu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Xiaofeng thought of what it could be, but she still asked. ¡°Haha, I have always dreamed of coborating with Jin Ling Commercial¡ªI mean Dreamer Investment Group, but our bank was not up to their standard. I couldn¡¯t even persuade one of their subsidiary ¡°Now, you have persuaded thirty subsidiarypanies in one go and sixty enterprises which are financed by them to work with us. More is added to the list as we are speaking. I-I can¡¯t believe it!¡± President Zhu¡¯s excitement was imaginable. Lin Xiaofeng was shocked as well, let alone President Zhu. She thought Chen Hao could only help her out with one or twopanies, but thirty subsidiary Goodness! This time, she wouldn¡¯t only be promoted to a director, would she? ¡°Haha, today I¡¯m here to tell you that we will be signing contracts with them tomorrow, so you have to go with me, but your post as deputy director is too inappropriate. I have told the board that from today, you will be the Acting Vice President. Liu is retiring next month and you can fill his shoes! As for the post of director, it will be empty next month as well. How about this? You can do both for the moment, though it might be a bit tiring!¡± President Zhu then said, ¡°Alright, go file an application now. I¡¯ll approve the application for the vice president and director positionster!¡± ¡°I¡­ Understood, President Zhu. Thank you for your trust!¡± Lin Xiaofeng was close to tears. After President Zhu left, Lin Xiaofeng didn¡¯t even know what she should do. Smash! At this moment, Tang Lan¡¯s cup slipped from her hands and fell to the ground. It broke into pieces. She was speechless. ¡°How is this possible? How?¡± she mumbled incredulously. To think that she initially had the upper hand on all aspectspared to her rival. Afterpeting tirelessly, this rival didn¡¯t just get promoted one grade, but several grades. The ying field was instantly uneven! How would that make one feel? ¡°Congrattions, Director¡ªVice president Lin!¡± Everyone was pping in the office. Lin Xiaofeng looked at Tang Lan smugly. She then dialed a number immediately. ¡°Chen Hao, thank you so much. Your friend Mr. Jin really is amazing! I¡¯m now promoted to vice president! Chen Hao, if you have time, Xu Xin and I will treat you again! You have toe, Chen Hao!¡± Lin Xiaofeng talked loudly for someone to hear. ¡°Alright, Mrs. Lin!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. After a few exchanges, Lin Xiaofeng hung up the phone. ¡°W-Who did you call? Who did you say helped you?¡± Tang Lan asked with a pale face. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Chen Hao. You should be more familiar with him than me! Do you all know who Chen Hao is? He was the boy we were discussing yesterday, the one who took out 600,000 in cash at one go. He is my daughter¡¯s good friend and he¡¯s very nice to her!¡± People in the office were familiar with each other, so Lin Xiaofeng didn¡¯t need to be cautious of what she said. ¡°Wow! That¡¯s an ideal son-inw!¡± The others were envious. ¡°Y-You¡¯re lying. How could Chen Hao be so capable? You¡¯re lying!¡± Tang Lan roared. Lin Xiaofeng¡¯s words were like needles that pierced her heart. ¡°Alright, just pretend I¡¯m lying. Yes, I¡¯m lying!¡± Lin Xiaofeng grinned merrily. Tang Lan was extremely mad. She was already forty. Seeing how fame and fortune were gained by her rival made her regretful and envious! Moreover, they were given by Chen Hao who she thought was a loser. To her own surprise, she cried! Back to Chen Hao. By this time, Chen Hao was already at the hotel when he received a call. It was from Li Zhenguo. ¡°Young Master Chen, I have two things to report!¡± Li Zhenguo said. ¡°Go on, Zhenguo!¡± ¡°Firstly, it is about your pendant. Mr. Xu has already made some progress. I have found several masters from all over the world to make a final confirmation. I believe the results will be out in two days. We think the pendant originated from the southwest, but this is just preliminary!¡± Li Zhenguo said. ¡°I see. Alright, we¡¯ll wait for the final results. What about the second thing?¡± Chen Hao was delighted that progress was made. ¡°Secondly, are you free tonight? Haha, our investment in Ping An County and the development of Jin Ling City are extremely valued by the officials. They will be inspecting this afternoon and I will be holding a reception tonight. If you cane, it would show our respect for the officials!¡± ¡°Oh, who will be there? I have time!¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Director Huang Weimin, officials from Jin Ling City and all the famous people in Ping An County!¡± ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll head over there earlier tonight!¡± Chen Hao said. It was nearly four o¡¯clock. He prepared to head over there earlier. Then, he remembered that he agreed to have dinner with Li Xiao. He had to tell him he couldn¡¯t go, so he dialed his number. However, Li Xiao didn¡¯t pick up the phone. What was the matter? Chen Hao phoned Su Ting. After two dials, Su Ting picked up the phone. But after she answered the phone, Chen Hao sensed that something was off. He recognized Li Xiao¡¯s voice amid a noisy environment. It seemed like people were shouting. He could hear Li Xiao yell from time to time. Su Ting was speaking urgently. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Su Ting, what¡¯s the matter? Did something happen?¡± Su Ting paused and answered, ¡°It¡¯s Li Xiao. Someone smashed our store. Li Xiao is about to fight with them. Those people are still in the store!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Hao jumped up from the sofa. ¡°Wait for me, I¡¯ll be there in a moment!¡± Chapter 257 Bring Them to The Police Station Chapter 257 Bring Them to The Police Station By the time Chen Hao reached there, there were a lot of cars parked outside of Li Xiao¡¯s used car dealership shop. A gang of people had gathered in front of the ce. From their appearances, they were here to look for trouble. They had smashed the ss door of the shop into pieces. From afar, Chen Hao caught sight of two familiar figures. They were none other than the fiercedy and her daughter whom he had a matchmaking session with. At the sight of this, Chen Hao immediately understood everything. No wonder Su Ting was trying so hard to stop him froming here over the phone. It seemed like they were here to seek revenge. ¡°Damn, that¡¯s him. That son of a b*tch fled after beating us up!¡± When that fierce woman caught sight of Chen Hao, she immediately cried out to the people standing behind her. Judging from the looks of the people, they came from the underworld. Their arms were full of all kinds of tattoos. From their appearances, they were not ones to be messed with. Most of them were young guys at the age of around twenty-six or twenty-seven. They were holding sticks in their hands. Li Xiao was holding two kitchen knives in both of his hands as well. Although he was outnumbered, he managed to keep hisposure. The gang of people were hesitant to take action, seeing that Li Xiao was a bold and intimidating one. Both parties were confronting each other. No one was daring enough to make the first move. The fierce woman demanded, ¡°This is the son of a b*tch who beat both of us up! Beat the h*ll out of him!¡± ¡°I dare you toy a finger on my brother!¡± Li Xiao swung the kitchen knives in his hand and eximed. With that, the bunch of people from the other side were immediately tamed. The leader of the bunch of people was a stout and burly guy. He wore sunsses and he was holding a tiny ck bag in one of his hands. He waved the ck bag in his hand, and the rest of the gang immediately took a step back following his cue. ¡°Li Xiao, you and I go way back and we both deal with used cars. I know your personality well. Hehe, if someone unrted was involved in this, I would have let it go. However, this time around, it¡¯s my cousin and my aunt who got beaten up. I can¡¯t tolerate this! I need an exnation!¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. That guy red at him with his head tilted to one side. ¡°Yang Guoquan, is this b*tch really your damn cousin? I¡¯ve never heard you talk about any aunt!¡± Li Xiao scoffed. Chen Hao, who was standing at one side, was able to see that the girl was promiscuous. It was uncertain how many guys she was involved with. ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t you worry about this. Enough said, Li Xiao. Back then, we didn¡¯t see eye to eye with each other over business matters. However, because of the bosses, I was not in a position to say anything. However, for this matter, you and I are officially enemies from now on. Just wait and see. Guys, let¡¯s go!¡± Yang Guoquan waved his hands and left together with the gang. The girl eximed indignantly, ¡°Guoquan, are we going to forgive them just like this?!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, I have plenty of ways to deal with them!¡± Yang Guoquan chuckled coldly. With that, the crowd dispersed. A sense of self-reproach grew in Chen Hao at the sight of the broken ss door of Li Xiao¡¯s shop. Came to think of it, it was him who had caused the trouble. However, his brother was the one who suffered the consequences. ¡°Li Xiao, Su Ting, I am so sorry!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°You don¡¯t have to say that. It¡¯s not your fault. The feud between Yang Guoquan and I has been around for a long while. He would find any excuse to look for trouble.¡± Li Xiao tossed the kitchen knives aside. He then took a cigarette from one side and lit it up. As for Su Ting, she went on to clean up the broken ss pieces on the floor. ording to Li Xiao¡¯s narration, Chen Hao got to know the whole matter inside out. In the beginning, Li Xiao and Suting got back from the supermarket loaded with plenty of food for dinner. When they reached the shop, they saw Yang Guoquan, the fiercedy and her daughter standing before the entrance. Apparently, the fiercedy and her daughter had brought some guys with them to seek revenge on Chen Hao, but they failed to locate him. They asked Li Xiao about Chen Hao¡¯s whereabouts, but Li Xiao kept his mouth shut. Because of Li Xiao¡¯s impulsive personality, he straightaway cursed at the fiercedy and her daughter! Shortly after, a fight ensued. In the midst of the brawl, several of them smashed the ss door. Thereafter, Li Xiao made a dash to the back of the shop and took two kitchen knives out. This was the reason why Li Xiao did not pick up Chen Hao¡¯s call. He didn¡¯t want Chen Hao to get involved in this mess. ¡°What kind of character is Yang Guoquan?¡± Chen Hao asked. Li Xiao had taken the me on his behalf. Even if he didn¡¯t, Chen Hao still felt the need to teach Yang Guoquan a lesson. ¡°He is a big shot in the underworld and he is a used car dealer as well. Last month, he was here to look for trouble as he imed that Li Xiao had broken the rules and undercut him in a transaction. Thanks to some bosses in the underworld who took charge of this area, the matter was resolved after some nice things were said on behalf of Li Xiao. Yang Guoquan relies on the influence of his brother-inw. From what I heard, his brother-inw is a very influential figure in the city!¡± Su Ting borated while she was cleaning up the mess. ¡°Oh, I see!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°I will inform Zhao Zixing tonight and ask him to deal with Yang Guoquan secretly.¡± However, he had something even more important to tell Li Xiao. ¡°Oh right, Li Xiao, now that Dreamer Investment Group is operating in Ping An County, why don¡¯t you use this opportunity to engage with them so that you will be able to expand your car dealership business? Let me help you!¡± Chen Hao said. It went without saying that Chen Hao would provide him the fund. After all, the rtionship between Li Xiao and him was differentpared to others. ¡°Sigh, they would not pay any regards to us. How is it possible that they would even invest in our business?¡± said Su Ting while pursing her lips. Li Xiao added, ¡°Brother, you might not know a lot about doing business here. Let¡¯s not talk about sessfully securing their investment. Sole proprietors like us are not even qualified to pitch our ideas to them. Let me be frank with you, evenpanies who do genuine and honest business in Ping An County find it hard to get the Dreamer Investment Group to invest in them. All in all, you still don¡¯t have a thorough understanding of how a business runs here.¡± ¡°What? Why can¡¯tpanies who do genuine and honest business get the investment?¡± Chen Hao really had no idea about this. ¡°Ahem. In order to get the Dreamer Investment Group to invest, one must bond well with the staff in the core department of thepany. Not only that, you must be on good terms with both the staff as well as the manager of the Marketing Department. One has to work through the bureaucracy in order to achieve anything.¡± ¡°As for small business owners, they already have a low profit margin as they need the money to ensure the quality of their products.¡± ¡°They simply don¡¯t have any spare money to grease the process.¡± ¡°Only those who are already very rich and powerful in Ping An County could secure their investment.¡± ¡°I am sure you understand now¡­ All in all, Ping An County is not a ce as simple as you expected. It¡¯s veryplicated!¡± After Li Xiao finished smoking, he threw the cigarette butt on the floor and stepped on it to extinguish any remaining me. Chen Hao finally understood something. He used to wonder why Li Wenyang and his father could secure the investment despite not being serious in doing business. It was because of this reason. The purpose of setting up the investmentpany back then was to offer support to small businesses with good products. In the end, the purpose was not served at all. Apparently, there were some serious problems in the management of thepany. The problem probably stemmed from the quality of the newly hired staff in the managerial department. Even Li Zhenguo had neglected this problem. In fact, Chen Hao was able to discern some clues from what happened to Jin Biao. Chen Hao had made up his mind. However, he still advised Li Xiao to submit a proposal to thepany. Because Chen Hao will directly approve the proposal himself. At this moment, several police cars had pulled to a stop outside of the shop. A team of people wearing police uniforms got out of the cars. ¡°You are?¡± Su Ting asked in consternation. ¡°Hmph, we received a tip that a brawl had happened here. Are you guys the ones involved in the fighting? Is your name Li Xiao?¡± The leader snorted at Li Xiao. ¡°I am. But I am not the only one involved in the brawl. Yang Guoquan was involved too!¡± ¡°Enough said. Bring the three of them to the police station for further investigation!¡± Chapter 258 A Big Mess Chapter 258 A Big Mess The bunch of people barged into the shop. However, the three of them felt that something was off. The bunch of people did not look a single bit like the police despite being in uniforms. As expected, while they were in a daze, they lunged at them and got hold of Li Xiao first, then Chen Hao and Su Ting. They then pressed a knife against their waists. Chen Hao took a look at their uniforms and found out that they all bore the same police registration numbers. He realized they were trying to scare them by pretending to be the police. The leader demanded sternly, ¡°Get them into the car and take their phones. Act fast!¡± As they had gotten hold of Su Ting, Li Xiao did not dare to fight back. He only cursed, ¡°Damn, you guys are too bold!¡± ¡°Move now. I will teach you a lessonter!¡± The leader gave a p on Li Xiao¡¯s face. In the end, with their heads covered, the three of them were brought to a dpidated building and were locked there. Their phones were taken away. ording to Li Xiao, the person behind this was none other than Yang Guoquan¡¯s cousin, Li Xiaogang. His cousin, Li Xiaogang, did demolition works for a living. He was very experienced in this kind of dealing. Two years ago, someone who offended Li Xiaogang was abducted this way from home. In the end, that person was brought to the wild and was beaten for three days in a row. His police impersonation waster exposed. Because of this, Li Xiaogang was kept behind bars for a period of time. Therefore, Yang Guoquan and Li Xiaogang were the first ones Li Xiao could think of as the culprits. Obviously, this was Yang Guoquan¡¯s way of getting his vengeance, as he knew very well that Li Xiao would not be intimidated if he were to fight him face-to-face again. After they were brought into the building, they were not interrogated by anyone. They were just kept inside a small room. ¡°F*ck, I will kill him once I am out!¡± Li Xiao cursed viciously. However, he could not move for the time being as both his legs and hands were tied up. Chen Hao merely advised him not to be too impulsive. Chen Hao was at his wit¡¯s end. After all, his phone was taken away. If it wasn¡¯t for that, he would have given Li Zhenguo a call. ¡°It¡¯s getting dark and it¡¯s almost 6pm already. What should we do?¡± Su Ting asked in a slightly nervous tone. After years of venturing together with Li Xiao, this was not the first time Su Ting had encountered retaliation from their enemies. Hence, she was able to remain calm. The worst she had experienced was getting beaten up, threatened and ckmailed. It was already 6pm? Chen Hao reckoned that Li Zhenguo and the rest must be searching for himself frantically now. If Li Zhenguo could not reach him, he would send someone to locate him immediately. ¡°Li Xiao, Su Ting, let¡¯s be patient. I believe we will get out of here within an hour!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°An hour? How¡¯s that possible, Chen Hao? I guess there are some more tricks waiting for uster on!¡± said Li Xiao. Chen Hao kept quiet. Outside of the building. ¡°Here, Xiaogang, take a puff!¡± Yang Guoquan offered a cigarette respectfully to his cousin, Li Xiaogang. ¡°I have told you before that this guy has been holding a grudge against me for quite some time! This time, I will teach him a lesson! Otherwise, he will not learn! By the way, the location of his shop is very strategic. Coincidentally, I am finding a new location for my shop. Just give him ten or twenty thousand in return for his shop!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will get it done!¡± Li Xiaogang, a middle-aged and fat guy, said. ¡°Xiaogang, is it okay to do it this way? I would not want any trouble out of this!¡± The mother and daughter whom Chen Hao had a matchmaking session with were there as well. At that moment, they started to get restless and asked. ¡°No trouble wille out of this. I know Li Xiao and his wife¡¯s backgrounds inside out. You don¡¯t have to worry. As for that Chen Hao guy, he is even poorer. All of them are of simr backgrounds. Not to mention teaching them a lesson, no one will even know if they were beaten to death,¡± Yang Guoquan said with a wicked smile. ¡°However, Li Xiao is quite a shrewd person himself. If we hadn¡¯t dressed up as the police, he would not have been so obedient. Otherwise, I would not have asked for your favor, as I will deal with him myself!¡± ¡°Enough, stop beating around the bush. After getting Li Xiao¡¯s shop, you need to share half of the profit with me!¡± Li Xiaogang demanded while taking a puff. ¡°Boss, one of the phones keeps buzzing.¡± At this time, one of Li Xiaogang¡¯s underlings walked over. He was holding Chen Hao¡¯s phone. Presently, there were at least fifty missed calls made to the phone. ¡°Gosh, that guy doesn''t look like someone who can afford such a high-end phone. This phone costs at This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. least ten to twenty thousand!¡± The mother and her daughter were still there. At the moment, they were staring at Chen Hao¡¯s phone in admiration. ¡°Exactly. This model cost at least twenty thousand. I did not expect him to have such a nice phone!¡± The girl was slightly taken aback. She was wondering whether Chen Hao was from a rich family. Hehe! It was impossible. At most, he was just a loser who loved to boast. Some people deliberately used expensive phones and wore branded clothes although they were in fact very poor. They would not want the fact that they were poor to be exposed. That was why they needed to put up the pretence. The fiercedy suggested, ¡°Daughter, if that phone really cost that much, why don¡¯t you swap your phone with his? We shouldn¡¯t suffer for nothing!¡± ¡°What are you girls saying? You will surely getpensated for the medical fees,¡± Li Xiaogang said in an icy tone. There was no way he would allow them to take the phone. Of course he would keep the phone for himself. The underling asked, ¡°Boss, what should we do with the phone? Should we pick up the calls? Looks like the person calling him has urgent matters!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to do anything. Just turn it off and toss it aside!¡± Li Xiaogang reproached. Looking at the domineering Li Xiaogang, Yang Guoquan immediately started to lick his boots. ¡°Xiaogang, you are getting more and more impressive!¡± ¡°Of course. Let me teach you something, Guoquan. In this world,working and connections are the most important asset. Nothing can defeat me as long as I have vast connections. I have friends everywhere. This is the so-calledworking skills, haha!¡± Li Xiaogang chatted with Yang Guoquan and the rest of the gang for a while. ¡°Mr. Li, how is it? He still cannot be reached?¡± Many of the VIPs had already arrived at the banquet hall. Yet, the most important person was not here. What was worse, he could not be reached. Everyone was very anxious over this. ¡°Just now, we managed to get through but no one picked up the phone. Later, the calls were disconnected. Now, his phone is totally switched off!¡± Li Zhenguo eximed with his brows furrowed. ¡°Could something have happened to him?¡± Zhao Zixing started to get rmed. ¡°Usually, Young Master Chen will disconnect my calls whenever he is upied. However, neither did he hang up or pick up the numerous calls I made. We have made dozens of calls. No matter how busy he was, Young Master Chen would at least give us some response!¡± ¡°Exactly. Moreover, if Young Master Chen didn¡¯t have his phone with him, how did the calls end up disconnected and how was the phone switched offter?¡± Both Zhao Zixing and Li Zhenguo started to get worried. At that time, Zhao Zixing¡¯s staff, White Wolf, arrived with a team of guys. He approached the two of them and said, ¡°General Manager Zhao and General Manager Li, I just stopped by the hotel where Young Master Chen is staying. ording to the hotel manager, Young Master Chen went out earlier today.¡± ¡°He has gone out?¡± Zhao Zixing and Li Zhenguo exchanged a nce among themselves. Many of the prestigious guests of the banquet had approached and surrounded Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing. ¡°General Manager Zhao and General Manager Li, what¡¯s going on? Is Young Master Chen going to be absent?¡± asked Huang Weimin. The banquet hall was made up of severalrge private rooms. It was separated into an inner hall and an outer hall. The banquet was very grand. It went without saying that the guests inside the inner hall were made up of all kinds of prominent figures. Listening to their discussion, all of the guests started to get curious about the happenstance. ¡°Indeed, we can¡¯t reach Young Master Chen currently. We are trying our best to reach him!¡± ¡°General Manager Li, I found something!¡± Panting, Jin Biao made a dash over to them. He whispered something into Li Zhenguo¡¯s ears. ¡°What?¡± Li Zhenguo¡¯s eyes widened. The entire hall fell silent at once. ¡°General Director Huang, Sheriff Zhang, County Head Lee, Young Master Chen was kidnapped by a bunch of police imposters just a short while ago!¡± Li Zhenguo said. ¡°Seriously?¡± Sheriff Lee was shocked. ¡°Jin Biao, bring the witness you found over here!¡± Li Zhenguo demanded. Shortly after, Jin Biao returned to the hall with ady. Thedy soonid out the full story starting from Li Xiao¡¯s shop being destroyed until the three of them were abducted. She had also exined the rtionship between Yang Guoquan and Li Xiaogang. As Jin Biao had paid a handsome sum to thedy, she was daring enough to spill out everything. After all, both Yang Guoquan and Li Xiaogang were not ones to be messed with. Several VIPs looked grim at the moment. In the end, one of the guests mmed the table. ¡°Send someone over there right now. I would like to know the identities of the two daring fellows!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Everyone responded at once. A group of people made a quick exit out of the hall. At the same time, the guests in the outer hall were all chatting among themselves fervently. They were taken aback at the sight of themotion. ¡°W-What¡¯s happening?¡± A middle-aged man got hold of a driver and asked. ¡°I am not too sure myself, Director Jiang. But from what I¡¯ve heard, Young Master Chen was kidnapped!¡± Chapter 259 Jiang Weidong Got Implicated Chapter 259 Jiang Weidong Got Implicated ¡°Li Xiao, my buddy is interested in your shop, so why not sell it to us? Anyway, you offended my buddy¡¯s cousin in the first ce. Therefore, just make things easier for both of us and sign the contract.¡± Li Xiaogang and Yang Guoquan walked into the room. Li Xiaogang patted Li Xiao¡¯s face and stated. ¡°F*ck you, you son of a b*tch. If you have the guts, let go of me and fight me one-on-one!¡± Li Xiao eximed with his eyes reddened. Smack! Li Xiaogang lifted his head, then gave a hard p on Li Xiao¡¯s face. With that, he was ready to cue the rest of the gang to beat Li Xiao up. As for the fiercedy, she ambled in Chen Hao¡¯s direction with a frigid face. She looked like she was ready to punch Chen Hao any minute. However, something happened at that time. ¡°Boss, Guoquan, bad news! We have a serious problem!¡± One of Li Xiaogang¡¯s underlings scrambled hastily toward them. He got so anxious that he tripped over himself. ¡±What¡¯s going on?¡± Li Xiaogang eximed. The underling stammered, ¡°Outside... T-There are numerous armed police officers and luxurious cars outside. They have surrounded the entire building!¡± Now, the matter had turned into a big mess. Thinking that Li Xiao and Chen Hao had no money and influence, Li Xiaogang used the fake police trick to kidnap them without much consideration. He wanted to teach them a good lesson, so that Li Xiao would be more humble in the future. Other than that, he nned to force Li Xiao out of the market of used cars. That was all he intended to do. However, he had no idea what kind of character he had offended. A sizable team of armed police officers was here. Back then, Li Xiaogang was put into jail because of this. However, judging from the situation, he was bound to face something much more serious this time. ¡°Is this a mistake of some kind? How did they find us?¡± Li Xiaogang did not see thising at all. He hastily darted toward the window to take a look. Indeed, the space outside of the building was filled up with a dense crowd. In the midst of darkness, the space was lit up by the headlights of the cars, making it seem as though it was still daytime. ¡°Gosh, only a few people know about this building. How did they find this ce?¡± All of the sudden, Yang Guoquan¡¯s face was nched. ¡°That¡¯s it, I am doomed. I will never be able to get out of this!¡± Meanwhile, the fiercedy and her daughter were dumbfounded. They gulped and asked, ¡°Mr. Li, Mr. Yang, what should we do?¡± ¡°How would I know?!¡± Li Xiaogang was very much shaken deep down inside. At the same time, the sound of the door being broken down from outside was heard. ¡°Freeze! All of you freeze!¡± Numerous armed police officers swarmed into the building. Intense light was shone into Yang Guoquan and Li Xiaogang¡¯s eyes, who were still standing by the window. They untied Chen Hao and the rest, whereas Li Xiaogang and the gang were contained. After everything was settled, everyone was ready to wee Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen! You have suffered a great deal. We just managed to locate your whereabouts!¡± Zhao Zixing, Li Zhenguo and some other prestigious guests made their way toward Chen Hao. ¡°I am fine!¡± Chen Hao said aloud. Chen Hao did not expect Li Xiaogang to be so daring tomit such crime. Luckily, nothing bad had Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. happened. Both Li Xiaogang and Yang Guoquan were being held by the police officers. They were in aplete daze. Usually, they could only see these prominent figures standing right in front of them on the screen of the television. Were they calling this poor guy as Young Master Chen? Was he the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling City? Sweat was pouring down profusely from their foreheads. This time around, they had really brought immense trouble upon themselves! The fiercedy and her daughter were deeply shocked too. ¡°Chen Hao, w-what¡¯s happening?¡± At the sight of the prominent figures expressing their concerns for Chen Hao, Li Xiao was thrown into a state of befuddlement. ¡°I will exin everything once we are back!¡± Chen Hao decided to tell Li Xiao about his true identity after what had happened. Chen Hao saw him as his true buddy. Hence, they should go through the ups and downs in life together. He shouldn¡¯t hide his true identity from him anymore. Because of this incident, Chen Hao was not able to attend the banquet. Chen Hao and Li Xiao had to give their testimonies at the police station about the incident. ording to Sheriff Lee, the police would do a thorough investigation on this matter. Anyhow, it was almost guaranteed that Yang Guoquan and Li Xiaogang would end up in jail for at least ten to twenty years. ¡°This incident left a negative impact on Ping An County. This would even affect badly on the future developments of the county. Li Xiaogang, you are just a demolition worker. You are too daring and bold! I will make sure severe punishments are meted out on you!¡± Inside the office, Sheriff Li was in a fit of rage. He tossed a pile of documents onto the floor. All of the staff were deeply shocked by his action. ¡°Sheriff Li, Li Xiaogang is just a desperado. This is not the first time he hasmitted such crimes, and he was a convict as well. Apparently, he did not mend his ways at all. This time, we could surely fix him with a sentence for the kidnapping act!¡± ¡°Right. Does he have a guarantor? Or any close friends?¡± Sheriff Li inquired. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have a guarantor. However, it seems like Director Jiang from the Foreign Investment Team had meals with him several times before.¡± ¡°Is his name Jiang Weidong?¡± Sheriff Li¡¯s brows creased together. One of the staff said, ¡°Yes. However, Jiang Weidong has a rather clean background and his integrity has never been doubted. Probably because of work, it¡¯s inevitable for him to get involved with people like Li Xiaogan.¡± ¡°Hmph, that¡¯s not an excuse. No matter what, Li Xiaogang knows Jiang Weidong personally, and the two of them have coborated before. Jiang Weidong can¡¯t shirk his responsibilitypletely for the mess that Li Xiaogang has caused. Let¡¯s do it this way. Transfer Jiang Weidong from his current department. Which department has a vacancy currently?¡± Sheriff Li eximed furiously. ¡°The Marketing Department is looking for an assistant manager to do content writing. But Jiang Weidong¡­¡± ¡°Hmph, just give this position to him. I heard he is very good at writing. He would be able to show his talent there!¡± With that, Sheriff Li left the station. As for Chen Hao. It took one whole night for the whole matter to be fully resolved. On the next morning, Chen Hao went with Li Xiao to his used car dealership shop. Both Li Xiao and Su Ting felt puzzled over Chen Hao¡¯s true identity. Chen Hao started to narrate his story after they asked about it. ¡°Chen Hao, seriously? You are the Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City?¡± Looking pleasantly surprised, Li Xiao asked. Su Ting was shocked too. ¡°Yup, I am!¡± ¡°Then, the Dreamer Investment Group belongs to you as well?¡± Li Xiao was surprised yet overjoyed. ¡°You¡¯re right!¡± With a smile, Chen Hao continued, ¡°That¡¯s why offering you support in expanding your car dealership business is not an empty promise. Later, someone from mypany will help you with the handover procedure.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Su Ting widened her eyes in surprise. ¡°Of course!¡± Chen Hao had talked to Li Zhenguo about thisst night. It could be done easily. This was why Chen Hao wanted to make a trip to the shop with Li Xiao. After some chatting, Chen Hao went back to the hotel. Chen Hao did not have a car now. Moreover, it was hard to get a taxi in Ping An County. Therefore, Chen Hao got himself a bicycle and rode back to the hotel. Li Xiao stood by the door and watched him leave. He eximed, ¡°My buddy is so down-to-earth. If I were as rich as him, I would have a team of cars made up of Maybachs to clear up my road ahead. I would travel around with at least 10 pretty girls with bodyguards following me closely. Damn, I would have made Yang Guoquan suffer so miserably for what he did yesterday that he would regret having Li Xiao stated agitatedly. ¡°Hmph, what did you say just now?¡± Su Ting red viciously at him. ¡°I said I would make Yang Guoquan suffer miserably!¡± ¡°I mean the previous sentence!¡± ¡°I would travel around with at least ten pretty girls¡­ Argh!¡± Before he could even finish that sentence, Su Ting was already pinching his belly hard. Chen Hao had reached the entrance of the hotel by bicycle. As he was parking the bicycle, he caught sight of a limping girl looking like she was trying to get a taxi. At the sight of this girl, Chen Hao immediately averted his face. He tried to make his way to the hotel as soon as possible. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± That girl suddenly cried out his name. Obviously, she had seen his face... Chapter 260 Get Out Chapter 260 Get Out That girl was none other than Jiang Ranran! Chen Hao felt no hatred nor annoyance toward her. He was just reluctant to see her. Hehe, came to think of it, human emotions were veryplicated and interesting. When he went to her ce with his father back then, he was just seven or eight years old. When he saw Jiang Ranran, he was immediately smitten by her pretty face. He would like her to be his wife when they had grown up in the future. After all, Jiang Ranran was a very adorable and pretty little girl back then. She had fair skin and she always wore beautiful clothes. The only thing was, she was very arrogant. She looked down upon Chen Hao as he was living in town. Every time Chen Hao tried to get closer to her, he would be severely rebuked by her. Although Chen Hao was terrified of her, he still saw her as his future wife. The feelings he had for her only dissipated when Chen Hao started high school. Now, they had finally met each other again. If he revealed his true identity, he was sure that he would be able to court Jiang Ranran. It was even possible that Jiang Ranran would make the first move on him. However, everything had changed now. Now, Chen Hao was trying his best to avoid her. It would be ideal if he never bumped into her again for the rest of his life. However, he still bumped into the person he would like to avoid the most! ¡°Chen Hao, didn¡¯t you see me?¡± Jiang Ranran looked like she had sprained her legs. With a tinge of fury in her voice, she asked Chen Hao. ¡°I-I didn¡¯t see you!¡± Chen Hao said awkwardly. ¡°I was nning to take a taxi to Jin Ling City but I sprained my legs. Therefore, I am not going anymore,¡± Jiang Ranran said after getting closer to Chen Hao. ¡°Oh, I see. If there¡¯s nothing else, I will go in first.¡± Pointing at the hotel, Chen Hao turned to his back and was ready to leave. ¡°What? What do you mean by that? I said I¡¯ve sprained my legs. Aren¡¯t you going to show any concern to me?¡± Jiang Ranran grumbled. Jiang Ranran could not stand Chen Hao¡¯s indifferent attitude. Indeed, Chen Hao used to be so terrified of her back then. One could say that when they first met each other at her ce, Chen Hao was so eager to do anything she wanted him to do. Moreover, she did not care the least bit of what Chen Hao did for her. However, it was unknown exactly when the feelings started to grow in her. Probably after she realized that Chen Hao was rich. She started to see Chen Hao differently. She started to care about what he thought of herself and everything that he did. She recalled Chen Hao¡¯s nonchnt attitude just now. If nothing had changed, she would not care for the least bit about his attitude. However, she could not tolerate his attitude now. She felt very dissatisfied deep down inside. ¡°Oh, is your leg alright?¡± Chen Hao asked helplessly. ¡°Hmph, I am fine!¡± Jiang Ranran was enraged. She had witnessed Chen Hao withdrawing 600,000 from the bank with her own eyes. Other than that, she also got to know that Mrs. Lin was able to aplish her target and imed the position of the vice president of the bank with Chen Hao¡¯s help. Her mother had blurted all this out when she was crying yesterday. Jiang Ranran was deeply shocked by what she heard. She had an inkling that she was about to miss out something very precious in her life. ¡°Good to hear that you¡¯re feeling okay. I am going to take a nap as I have been busy for the entire night before.¡± Chen Hao was really exhausted. He really wanted to get into the hotel at the moment. ¡°You were actually staying here all this while?¡± Jiang Ranran asked in shock again. ¡°Yes!¡± After nodding his head coldly, Chen Hao strode toward the hotel. ¡°Chen Hao, why are you treating me so coldly? My leg is injured and I want to go home. Aren¡¯t you going to give me a lift?¡± Jiang Ranran¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red. She expected to be treated with love and affection by the guy before her. However, as it turned out, he treated her with a lukewarm attitude. What was going on?! ¡°But I don¡¯t have a car now as I have already sold that G500. I really can¡¯t give you a ride!¡± Chen Hao ced both of his hands forward with the palms facing upward helplessly. ¡°B-but you have a bicycle. You could send me home with your bicycle. Also, aren¡¯t you going to visit my mother after what you did to her? She was so angry that she even fainted!¡± Jiang Ranran asked once again. ¡°What the h*ll! What do you mean by that?! That¡¯s none of my business!¡± Chen Hao yelled furiously. ¡°Okay, okay, I was wrong. Don¡¯t be angry!¡± Jiang Ranran felt so miserable that she was on the verge of bursting into tears. She had never been scolded like this in her whole life. However, when she was criticized by Chen Hao, she immediately felt bad for what she had just said. Due to self-reproach coupled with embarrassment, Jiang Ranran could no longer keep herposure. Tears started to flow down her face. At the sight of her tears, Chen Hao realized that he was being too harsh on her. It was because Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but feel annoyed at the mention of Jiang Weidong and Tang Lan. That was why he snapped at her. He softened his tone and said, ¡°You could just take a taxi home. I have to go back and rest!¡± ¡°I am not leaving!¡± Jiang Ranran felt indignant too. She made her way toward Chen Hao¡¯s bicycle. Chen Hao took a deep breath. Judging from the situation, Chen Hao would feel bad if he continued to be harsh to her. He was thinking that if he did not send her home, he would not be able to take a rest. Luckily, her ce was just a stone¡¯s throw away from the hotel. Chen Hao nodded his head and said, ¡°Well, if my bicycle is not too shabby for your liking, I could send you home with it.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Jiang Ranran nodded her head firmly. She took the seat behind Chen Hao with one of her hands tightly grabbing at his shirt. ¡°Chen Hao, I am surprised you know how to ride a bicycle. I don¡¯t know how to ride one,¡± Jiang Ranran said. ¡°Hehe, I offered to teach you when we were kids. But you turned it down as you thought that only country bumpkins would ride a bicycle,¡± Chen Hao taunted. ¡°I¡­¡± Suddenly, Jiang Ranran¡¯s face turned red. She recalled that Chen Hao already knew how to ride a bicycle when he visited her back then. In fact, Chen Hao used to ride at the back of Uncle Chen¡¯s bicycle. Now, she was riding one herself. Surprisingly, she felt much morefortable sitting on the bicycle than sitting in Lin Dong¡¯s sedan. Chen Hao thought of a saying after seeing Jiang Ranran¡¯s reaction. Somedies would rather be bitter in a luxurious sedan than to be happy riding on a bicycle. In Chen Hao¡¯s opinion, the vehicle didn¡¯t matter. More importantly, it depended on who was the person riding or driving the car. They chatted intermittently with each other along the way. Soon, they reached Jiang Ranran¡¯s ce. Jiang Ranran managed to convince Chen Hao to help her walk into the elevator. When he reached Jiang Ranran¡¯s house, Chen Hao saw that the inside of the house was very lively although it was slightly past 9pm. The inside of the house was filled with numerous guests. Jiang Weidong was sitting on the sofa. He was holding his forehead with both of his hands, looking N?velDrama.Org content. troubled. As for Tang Lan, she was no better. On one side of the living room, several middle-aged guys who looked like Jiang Weidong¡¯s colleagues were offering their advice. Even Lin Dong, this son of a b*tch, was here. A middle-aged guy, who looked simr to Lin Dong, was sitting beside him. He must be Lin Dong¡¯s father. Obviously, Jiang Ranran had no idea what had happened. She was in a daze. After catching part of their conversations, Chen Hao understood something. As it turned out, Jiang Weidong had been transferred to the Marketing Department as the assistant manager in charge of content writing. It was due to some unknown mistakes he had made. He was having a hard time because of this. ¡°Mom, Dad, look who¡¯s here!¡± Jiang Ranran spoke up at the moment. As Chen Hao had turned into a totally different person than before, he upied a very important position in Jiang Ranran¡¯s heart. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s him. Dad, this is the Chen Hao I¡¯ve mentioned to you before. He is a very capable guy. Now, Ranran and him are very close friends. Moreover, Chen Hao is the real deal here. I heard that he withdrew 600,000 in cash from the bank. In my opinion, we are redundant here as we can¡¯t offer any help to Uncle Jiang. Let¡¯s go!¡± Lin Dong shot a cold nce at Chen Hao while tugging his dad¡¯s sleeves. His father nodded his head in agreement and said, ¡°Indeed, we should go. Weidong, I think you have to settle this on your own.¡± With that, they got to their feet and were ready to leave. ¡°Deputy Director Lin, please don¡¯t go. He was not invited. You guys were!¡± With that, Jiang Weidong immediately red viciously at her daughter and reprimanded sternly, ¡°Ranran, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why did you invite some nobody into our house?¡± Chapter 261 Embarrassing Jiang Weidong Chapter 261 Embarrassing Jiang Weidong Chen Hao didn¡¯t need to think twice to know that Jiang Weidong was referring to himself. Meanwhile, he was also making his stance clear to Lin Dong¡¯s family. Chen Hao¡¯s face paled. ¡°Dad, what are you talking about? Come and sit here, Chen Hao!¡± Jiang Ranran rebutted angrily. ¡°Ranran, why did you let him in? Let this ungrateful boy help Lin Xiaofeng. He would rather do Lin Xiaofeng a favor than help us. Lin Xiaofeng is the Vice President and Director now. The Jiang Family has benefitted nothing from him!¡± Tang Lan spitted vehemently. Tang Lan knew that this favor was too huge, and even if Chen Hao had the capability, it was impossible for him to let her be in charge of so many business transactions anymore. She had no use of him anymore, so why bother to be nice to him? That was why she gave him a piece of her mind. ¡°Hmph, the Jiang Family has always helped you, and Uncle Jiang even helped you out with your career. But what did you do in return? You only donated 500,000 to Uncle Jiang, leaving 600,000 for yourself. Since you¡¯re so great, you don¡¯t need us anymore! Go away!¡± Tang Lan waved her hand impatiently, ordering Chen Hao to leave. The guests in the living room looked mockingly at Chen Hao. Lin Dong crossed his arms andughed. ¡°Yes, Uncle Jiang. He still has 600,000 but he only gave you 500,000. This certainly does not make sense.¡± Jiang Weidong''s face darkened. He pointed at Chen Hao and yelled, ¡°Get out of our house!¡± Bang! With that, he lifted a cup of hot tea from the table and threw it at Chen Hao¡¯s foot. The boiling hot tea sshed onto Chen Hao¡¯s trousers, which burned him. He jumped. ¡°Dad, what are you doing? Chen Hao escorted me back!¡± Jiang Ranran was so panicked she began to cry. ¡°Ranran, I¡¯m telling you, never contact this country bumpkin ever again!¡± Jiang Weidong bellowed. Chen Hao nced at Jiang Weidong and Tang Lan coldly. If they were someone else, Chen Hao would have lunged forward and beaten them up. Now, he swallowed his anger and turned to leave. He thought, When you find out who I really am and who my father really is, would you still treat me in this way? Quietly fuming, Chen Hao left. A little while after Chen Hao left, Xu Xin called a cab and arrived at the Jiang¡¯s with lots of presents. She had gotten to know that her mother was promoted. Although Aunt Tang had alwayspeted with her mother in the past, they had always been fair to each other¡¯s children. For example, when Ranran came to her ce, Mom would be especially nice to her. When she went to Ranran¡¯s ce, Aunt Tang would be very friendly to her as well. Therefore, when she heard that Aunt Tang had suffered a shock, Xu Xin decided to visit her. ¡°Xu Xin, you¡¯re here!¡± Tang Lan said. When Xu Xin came in, she immediately saw shards of a broken teacup on the floor and a crying Jiang Ranran. She had no idea what just happened but she nodded. Then, she went over tofort Jiang Ranran. ¡°Weidong, don¡¯t be so angry. Though the circumstances this time were different from thest, the results are the same. You weren¡¯t involved, but you were still implicated!¡± ¡°There is only one solution!¡± Mr. Lin said. ¡°Mr. Lin, pray tell!¡± Jiang Weidong¡¯s spirits were lifted again. ¡°You have to seek help from Dreamer Investment Group. It¡¯s best if you look for Young Master Chen¡¯s favorites for this matter! After all, if they said something good about you, you would be fine!¡± Mr. Lin said. Lin Dong protested, ¡°But how can I reach Young Master Chen¡¯s favorites, General Manager Li and General Manager Zhao?¡± Mr. Lin said, ¡°Even I can¡¯t reach them. So, the only way is through General Manager Li¡¯s personal driver, Jin Biao! Jin Biao is deeply trusted by Li Zhenguo, and Li Zhenguo would listen to what he says. With his help, you wouldn¡¯t have a problem!¡± ¡°I have heard about Jin Biao as well. He is very kind-hearted. Since you¡¯re from the Foreign Investment Team, it¡¯ll be easier for you to ask for help!¡± ¡°Do you have Jin Biao¡¯s contact?¡± Jiang Weidong asked. ¡°I don¡¯t have it. I¡¯m trying to reach out to him as well!¡± Mr. Lin shook his head resignedly. Then, Jiang Weidong began to seek Jin Biao¡¯s contact frantically. ¡°Uncle Jiang, I know someone who has Jin Biao¡¯s contact!¡± Xu Xin had formed a clear picture of what was happening, so she piped up. ¡°What? Xu Xin, are you serious?¡± Jiang Weidong and Mr. Lin were pleasantly surprised. ¡°Yes, thanks to Jin Biao, my mother managed to secure so much business. My friend told him to help my mom!¡± Xu Xin said, carefully eyeing Tang Lan¡¯s reaction. ¡°Tell us, who is this friend? Can we ask him out for a meal so that we can ask him for help?¡± Jiang Weidong walked up to Xu Xin, smiling. ¡°Huh? Uncle Jiang, didn¡¯t you know? Normally, he would help you out with anything if you just said the word.¡± Xu Xin was confused. ¡°Who is it?¡± Jiang Weidong asked in shock. He didn¡¯t even know that he had such connections. ¡°That person is Chen Hao. Jin Bian and Chen Hao are really close. Chen Hao had only said a few words, and Jin Biao immediately helped my mother!¡± Xu Xin replied. ¡°What? Who did you say? Chen Hao?¡± Jiang Weidong and Tang Lan both froze. Jiang Weidong froze because he didn¡¯t expect Chen Hao to have such powerful connections. Tang Lan froze because she didn¡¯t expect that the way Chen Hao helped Lin Xiaofeng was through Jin Biao and Li Zhenguo. Both Lin Dong and his father were dumbstruck as well. ¡°Xu Xin, are you sure? Do they really know each other?¡± Jiang Ranran asked dazedly. ¡°Yes, not only do they know each other, I also saw Jin Biao being extremely respectful toward Chen Hao!¡± Xu Xin said. A series of expressions shed across Jiang Weidong¡¯s face. He felt his cheeks ming. ¡°Jiang, what should we do now? You threw your cup at him and chased him away!¡± Tang Lan regretted treating Chen Hao that way. ¡°Hmph! We can call him and tell him toe back!¡± Jiang Weidong said ufortably. ¡°Who should call him? My words were too harsh just then!¡± Tang Lan said in embarrassment. ¡°Ranran, why don¡¯t you give Chen Hao a call?¡± Tang Lan suggested. Jiang Ranran nodded. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . She dialed his number but then put her phone down. ¡°He won¡¯t pick up.¡± ¡°Sigh. Jiang, Jin Biao is one of Li Zhenguo¡¯s favorites, and Chen Hao is close with Jin Biao. If you can¡¯t get through Jin Biao, you won¡¯t stand a chance.¡± The others chimed in. Jiang Weidong had never thought that one day, he would be begging Chen Hao for help, and it was after he chased him out of the house. Now, he was in the most awkward position. ¡°Dad, I know where Chen Hao lives. Why don¡¯t we go over there and you apologize to him? Chen Hao might forgive you,¡± Jiang Ranran said. ¡°What? Are you telling me to apologize to him?¡± Jiang Weidong¡¯s eyes widened. Chapter 262 Interview Chapter 262 Interview Finally, Jiang Weidong was persuaded by everyone. He didn¡¯t have a choice. Who else could he ask for help other than Chen Hao? So, he bit the bullet and went to the hotel to look for Chen Hao. He searched for a while but he couldn¡¯t find him. He tried calling Chen Hao, but Chen Hao¡¯s line was engaged. At this moment, Chen Hao was indeed talking to someone else. ¡°Dad, I have news on the pendant. It originates from the southwest and is quite old. This type of jade is very precious. Looks like this person that you told me to find, Meng Xin, is ady from a family of high social status.¡± Chen Hao sipped coffee as he talked on the phone in a quiet caf¨¦. The call was from his dad, asking about the progress on the pendant. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Of course she¡¯s from a family of high social status!¡± His father chuckled. ¡°Dad, is her family from the southwest instead of southeast? But didn¡¯t you say that you met her when you were serving in the army in the southeast?¡± Chen Hao asked in confusion. ¡°I¡¯m not sure as well. I don¡¯t know where her family is. I don¡¯t even know her family name. That¡¯s why I need you to help me investigate. It would be best if we could get it done as soon as possible. When the resultse out, tell me straight away!¡± His father said with augh. Chen Hao thought, Should I tell dad about Su Ziyue? It¡¯s highly possible that she¡¯s Meng Xin¡¯s daughter. But on second thought, even if he told him, it wouldn¡¯t change anything. He should probably wait until he had more information. While he was struggling to decide, his father said, ¡°Chen Hao, it¡¯s nearly your birthday, right? Sigh, your mother, your sister and I have never celebrated your birthday with you since you started high school. We thought that we coulde together after your poverty education ends and give you a proper celebration!¡± ¡°But your sister went to North Africa and a few dayster, I have to go there as well. I¡¯m sorry we can¡¯t celebrate your birthday with you!¡± His father apologized to him. Chen Hao smiled. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Dad. I¡¯m in Ping An County now. After I finish my business here, I¡¯ll return home in a few days. I have Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu with me. There¡¯s no need to worry. I have never felt lonely on my birthdays, not even once.¡± His father said, ¡°Alright then. This is your first birthday after your poverty education. Try to make it as festive as possible, but don¡¯t follow your elder sister¡¯s example. Last year, your sister bought an ind in the Pacific and invited celebrities from all around the world. That¡¯s too ostentatious! You decide yourself, as long as it¡¯s not too shabby!¡± ¡°Okay. You don¡¯t have to worry about this!¡± After chatting with his dad about recent businesses, Chen Hao hung up his phone. He checked his mailbox and saw that there were several missed calls from Jiang Ranran. Chen Hao didn¡¯t n on calling her back. He would never interfere with Jiang Weidong¡¯s business again! Or else he would have to invite them to his birthday party. Just then, someone walked into the caf¨¦. It was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit. He held an envelope in his hand and stopped respectfully in front of Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen, here is the letter of rmendation that you wanted for your job application. With this, you can start to work at Dreamer Investment Management Company!¡± The middle-aged man didn¡¯t dare to sit down and remained standing aside. ¡°Okay, thanks a lot. Right, don¡¯t tell anyone else about this!¡± Chen Hao ordered, taking a sip of coffee. ¡°I understand!¡± Chen Hao told one of the top brass to write this letter of rmendation. From the conversation with Li Xiaost time, Chen Hao found out that the management of thepany was chaotic. So Chen Hao nned to see it for himself in the following days. Chen Hao understood that if he had investigated as Young Master Chen, he wouldn¡¯t find anything. All in all, it would be very hard. Furthermore, Li Zhenguo was going back and forth between Jin Ling and Ping An County nowadays. He was also responsible for the investigation of the pendant. Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to bother him. Chen Hao would find out himself if thepany was as corrupt as Li Xiao had described. That was why he would be working undercover. Most of the staff of Jin Ling Commercial Group stayed in the Yunmeng Mountain project to aid in the development of Ping An County. So, only some of the top brass of Dreamer Investment Group were from Jin Ling Commercial Group. Most of the employees were either from thepanies they had acquired or were newly hired. But nepotism had been neglected. Naturally, there were many shady transactions. At noon, Chen Hao ate a quick lunch. Then, he returned to change into a formal suit and a pair of leather shoes. Bringing along a set of interview materials and his letter of rmendation, he went to Dreamer Investment Group¡¯s subsidiarypany, Dreamer Investment Management Company to interview. ¡°Hi, is the interview for the Investment Department on the 26th floor?¡± When he entered the building, Chen Hao saw a young girl holding a stack of documentsing out from the elevator. He asked her for directions. ¡°Yes, it is. Oh, you¡¯re here to interview! It¡¯s on the 26th floor!¡± The girl was about the same age as Chen Hao. She seemed like she had just graduated, still having an air of immaturity of a student. ¡°Thank you!¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°You¡¯re wee¡­ Ah!¡± The girl was too busy talking to him and the files in her arms identally fell onto the floor. Chen Hao immediately bent down to help her pick the files up. ¡°Did you just graduate? Are you here for your internship as well?¡± The girl asked him with a smile as she picked the files up. ¡°Yes. How long have you been here?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°I have only been here for seven days and I still have a lot to learn. I¡¯m in the Investment Department too. Good luck with your interview. If you pass, we¡¯ll be colleagues! My name is Fang Fei!¡± Fang Fei grinned. ¡°My name is Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Thanks. Your elevator is here, good luck!¡± Fang Fei smiled sweetly and made a V-sign at him. Chen Hao nodded and went into the elevator. That girl was quite pretty and her smile made her look even more enchanting. She was ivory-skinned. Chen Hao thought it was quite interesting. Soon after he went into the elevator, it stopped at the fifth floor. A girl in ck uniform with a gorgeous appearance came in. She was also about the same age as Chen Hao. As Chen Hao was here for his interview, it was natural that he had to greet everyone he saw. So he smiled and nodded at her. But that girl nced at him coldly and made no response. She leaned on the wall of the elevator and yed with her phone. After a while, she nced at the buttons of the elevator. She looked at Chen Hao and asked, ¡°Are you a newbie in our Investment Department?¡± She was apathetic. ¡°No, I¡¯m here for an interview!¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°I¡¯m not on board yet!¡± ¡°Ha, on board. You do have a lot of confidence in yourself, but you wouldn¡¯t stand a chance!¡± The girl eyed Chen Hao. ¡°Huh? Why? I haven¡¯t even interviewed!¡± Chen Hao asked confusedly. The girl exined, ¡°You¡¯ll find out when you get there. You¡¯re too unlucky. Our Investment Department is only recruiting two people, one male and one female. You wouldn¡¯t stand a chance!¡± Chen Hao thought, I¡¯m dressed nicely today and I think I look fine. Why wouldn¡¯t I stand a chance? Soon, the elevator reached the 26th floor. When he reached the interview room, he found out why the girl had said that¡­ Chapter 263 The Takeoff Of An Undiscovered Talent Chapter 263 The Takeoff Of An Undiscovered Talent When Chen Hao reached the 26th floor, he saw that there were quite a number of interviewees today. The crowd was made up of handsome gentlemen and beautifuldies. There were at least thirty to forty people. On his way to the hall where the interview was held, he passed by an office area. Most of the staff there weredies. Whenever a handsome guy stepped out of the elevator, thedies would exim as though they had never seen men. However, when Chen Hao walked out of the elevator, themotion from thedies died down a few notches. He wondered whether it was because he was not charismatic enough. Damn! Chen Hao cursed silently. ¡°He is the thirty-eighth interviewee. There are only two vacancies, so why are there so many people?¡± Some of the girls were counting theirpetitors. At the moment, they were grumbling among themselves. ¡°Hey, look at him. He came here all alone. Does he really think he can pass the interview?¡± ¡°Although his looks are above average, his facial features are not outstanding. He is nothingpared to that handsome guy who walked in just now.¡± ¡°Exactly. I think he should just head home now, so that his time would not be wasted!¡± One of the guys said. Most of them came as a group and all of them were fighting for the same job. Therefore, some of them started to utter sarcastic words at Chen Hao. Chen Hao took a deep breath while listening to their mockeries. He kept hisposure. After all, Chen Hao was clear about the purpose of his trip here. Thankfully, the door of the elevator opened once again at the moment. Anky girl, whose height was at least 1.78m, walked out of the elevator. Her long, ret-red hair fell down her shoulders. Her body was curvy and attractive. Her facial features were striking and her skin was fair and shiny. All in all, she had a really good image and temperament. She looked like the dream girl of every man! With some files in her arms, she ambled in the direction of the interview hall. Obviously, she was here to attend the interview too. As soon as she appeared, many of the girls put on a gloomy face and stopped talking. Meanwhile, many of the guys were staring at her with fiery eyes. Chen Hao was no exception. He followed their gazes and stared at the girl from head to toe. In his opinion, the girl was quite pretty. She was almost as attractive as Qin Ya. ¡°Pretty girl, are you here for the interview too? What a coincidence! May I have your WeChat number? My brother-inw is the Assistant Human Resource Manager here!¡± The most handsome guy in the room approached the pretty girl with a smile. ¡°It''s okay, thank you.¡± Smoothing down some wild strands of her hair, the pretty girl shook her head embarrassingly. She turned him down tactfully. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about anything. Just look at your beautiful face! You are the most eligible candidate here. They are going to hire just one male and one female this time around. I am sure we are the ones who will be chosen. We should get to know each other better through WeChat!¡± The guy was relentless. Chen Hao looked at the handsome guy, who was so confident that he wouldnd the job. He started to doubt whether his referral letters would work. Apparently, the pretty girl was not the flirty type. However, she felt bad to reject the guy before the crowd. In the end, she still gave him her WeChat number. The rest of the guys were envious of him. ¡°Everyone, please be quiet. Please acknowledge your presence when your name is mentioned. Then, please follow me into the room. The first one is Chen Shao!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡±Yes!¡± As Chen Hao was busy staring at the pretty girl, he reacted subconsciously when he heard Chen Shao¡¯s name. In the end, the tall guy also reacted. Awkwardness befell the scene. Chen Shao shot a sideway nce disdainfully at Chen Hao. ¡°What¡¯s going on? I didn¡¯t notice anyone having the same name.¡± At the moment, a female staff member of the hiring department walked toward Chen Hao. Obviously, the Chen Shao guy was very close to all the hiring staff. She took a look at Chen Hao¡¯s profile. ¡°Isn''t your name Chen Hao? What are you doing? Why did you answer when I called for Chen Shao?¡± ¡°So sorry, I was mistaken!¡± Chen Hao said awkwardly with a forced smile. ¡°Is it possible that he thought she was calling for Young Master Chen? That¡¯s why he reacted to the name! Haha!¡± One of the guys taunted. ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought that Young Master Chen from Jin Ling was here!¡± The rest of them broke intoughter. Even the pretty girl¡¯s face revealed a slight grin. Chen Hao did not say anything to rebut. After all, he was the one who made a mistake. Thereafter, Chen Shao went into the room to interview. After a short while, he walked out of the room looking proud. ¡°Chen Shao, what did they ask during the interview? Can you give us some clues?¡± The rest of the interviewees surrounded him and asked. ¡°Nothing much. Basically, we just had a casual chat. All three of the hiring managersughed so hard because of my jokes. Then, they asked me when I was avable to start. That¡¯s all,¡± Chen Shao stated, his hands tucked into his pockets. The rest of the guys were green with envy. It seemed like he was the one who would fill the male quota. Later, the rest of them entered the room one after another. Chen Hao submitted his profile and the referral letters to the hiring managers. After answering some questions by the hiring managers, Chen Hao walked out of the room. The next thing was to wait for the final oue. Some of the interviewees had left without waiting for it. As for Chen Shao, he was still pestering the pretty girl. ¡°The result is out!¡± Soon, the female staff member walked out of the room with two registration forms in her hands. ¡°I wonder who was selected?¡± All of them were busy making guesses. ¡°The sessful candidate for the vacancy in the Investment Management Department is Miss Yang Minxue!¡± Yang Minxue was that pretty girl. ¡°The other sessful candidate is Mr. Chen Hao!¡± The female staff spoke again. ¡°Minxue, let¡¯s go!¡± Chen Shao smiled subconsciously. Very soon, the smile on his face was frozen. ¡°Huh? Hold on, I was not chosen?¡± Chen Shao was bewildered. Everyone was in a state of shock. All of them fixated their eyes upon Chen Hao. It went without saying that Chen Hao knew the truth. He offered his apologies to everyone else silently. He walked over to take the employee registration form before going into one of the rooms with Yang Mingxue to sign it. ¡°Chen Hao, we will be working in the same department in the future. Where do you stay?¡± After they finished signing the forms, they were left alone in the room. Yang Minxue started to chat with Chen Hao. ¡°I am staying in Xiao Gu City of Ping An County,¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Ah? What a coincidence. We are staying really close to each other. I am living in Xiao Quan City of Ping An County,¡± Yang Minxue said with a smile. Obviously, she was quite friendly and chatty despite her pretty look. The way she talked was very natural and poised. ¡°I heard there is a very famous hot spring mountain in the area you stay. I would like to try it out one day in the future!¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. ¡°Great! I will bring you around.¡± Neers in a workce bonded the best. ¡°Are the neers inside?¡± At the moment, a crisp voice of ady was heard from outside. She was asking the hiring staff. ¡°Yes, Supervisor Liu, they are inside.¡± ¡°Great, bring me there!¡± Chen Hao heard their conversation clearly. Supervisor Liu was new to thepany. Her voice sounded very young and familiar to Chen Hao. After listening to her voice, a dizzying ring started in Chen Hao¡¯s head. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Why did that voice sound so familiar to him? It couldn¡¯t be her, could it? Chapter 264 Meeting An Old Friend Chapter 264 Meeting An Old Friend When the door was opened from the outside, the girl was seen walking into the room together with the female staff of the hiring department. Finally, Chen Hao could see her face clearly. ¡°Liu Yanan? It really is you!¡± Liu Yanan was Chen Hao¡¯s ssmate from his junior high school. She was the headmaster¡¯s daughter. At that time, Chen Hao, Li Xiao and her had outstanding academic results. Together, they had participated in numerous extra-curricr activities andpetitions. They were quite close to each other back then. Later on, the two of them got into the same high school. However, they were assigned to different sses. In the beginning, both of them had little new friends in the new environment. Everyday, Liu Yanan would ask Chen Hao to join her for a meal at the canteen. After school, she would have a chat with him to update him about her recent happenings. However, after a few days, Liu Yanan began to head to the canteen with her own housemates. It became less often for her to chat with Chen Hao. Later on, they started to meet each other once a week. After that, they greeted each other at school asionally each semester. In the end, she began to ignore Chen Hao as if he was totally transparent to her. When they were in the final year of high school, they had be so estranged that they were like Subsequently, both of them were epted into universities. Liu Yanan went to one in Yan Jing City whereas Chen Hao got into one in Jin Ling City. It had been three years since they met each other. Surprisingly, Liu Yanan had quite a sessful career. She was already a supervisor. ¡°Chen Hao? Why are you here?¡± Liu Yanan was taken aback at the sight of Chen Hao. Indeed, it had been such a long time since they met. Liu Yanan still remembered how they started off by being such good friends and ended up beingplete strangers by the time they left high school. Hence, she felt rather awkward and shocked to see him all of a sudden. ¡°I was sessfully epted into thepany after passing the interview. I am going to work here!¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. ¡°Oh, I see!¡± Liu Yanan smiled lightly before taking a look at Chen Hao and Yang Minxue¡¯s profiles. ¡°Yanan, you¡¯re so impressive. You¡¯re already a supervisor now!¡± Chen Haomented with respect after ncing at the name tag affixed on Liu Yanan¡¯s chest. ¡°Thank you. However, when you are at work in the future, you may call me Team Leader Liu instead of Yanan,¡± Liu Yanan said with some wariness. ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Assistant Li!¡± Liu Yanan closed up the files and said. ¡°In the beginning, as our operation team was newly formed, we were short of two members. However, we have decided to prioritize quality over quantity. Hence, I will only ept one new member out of the two,¡± said Liu Yanan. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . When Yang Minxue heard her, she became nervous. Since Chen Hao and Liu Yanan knew each other personally, Liu Yanan would definitely pick Chen Hao over herself. Sigh, why was she so unlucky? However, Liu Yanan glimpsed at Chen Hao nonchntly before fixing her gaze on Yang Minxue and said, ¡°Yang Minxue, we need a girl in our team. So, you¡¯re chosen!¡± ¡°As for Chen Hao¡­¡± Liu Yanan looked at Chen Hao and said, ¡°As far as I know, the Office Support Department is short of a member. You may join that department and you will be in charge of providing the required materials to members of any team.¡± Before Chen Hao could even speak, the female assistant said, ¡°But Supervisor Liu, Chen Hao has graduated from Jin Ling College¡­¡± ¡°I know, but I can¡¯t do anything about it. It would have to be arranged in this way for the time being. Chen Hao, are you okay with the arrangement? If you¡¯re okay, I will transfer you to that department first. If your performance is outstanding in the future, I will make the application to the team leader to have you transferred to my team. What do you think?¡± Liu Yanan said somewhat perfunctorily with a smile. Apparently, her reason for doing so was because she paid no regard to him. After all, as Liu Yanan¡¯s thinking got more and more mature during high school, she came to realize that it was slightly embarrassing to be around Chen Hao. After all, he was known to be impoverished. Most of the girls became vain during that phase of their age. Their vanity would peak while they were in university. ¡°Okay, then!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. In fact, he was not the least bit bothered about which department he was in. He was just slightly ufortable at Liu Yanan¡¯s icy attitude toward an old friend. Everything was settled then. After getting the registration done, Chen Hao and Yang Minxue started to work on their duties. Chen Hao was assigned to a table located at a far corner of the office area. He was in charge of sorting out the files and distribution of materials. This post suited him well. Some of the documents would be handed over to him, which made his investigation work easier. When Chen Hao went to the toilet to wash his hands, he heard someone talking over the phone indistinctly in thedies¡¯ washroom. ¡°Pleasee over to have the interview these two days. Act fast. I have already reserved the post for you. You can sleep soundly now!¡± It was a girl¡¯s voice. ¡°What did you say? Aren¡¯t both of the vacancies filled already?¡± ¡°Sigh, at first, one of the vacancies was going to be filled by my team leader¡¯s rtive. However, for some unknown reason, his rtive was not chosen. In the end, a guy who is my old friend from junior high school was chosen. Hmph, I know his financial status, so I assigned him to do some menial tasks. I came up with an impromptu idea of transferring him to the Office Support Department. He already epted the post happily. Therefore, you must act fast. The post will not be vacant forever.¡± As Chen Hao was listening, his face turned pale. The voice belonged to none other than Liu Yanan. As it turned out, she was trying to y games with him. At first, Chen Hao was wondering why the female assistant was looking so shocked. It turned out that Liu Yanan was arranging for someone she knew to take on the post. What was more, the person was the team leader¡¯s rtive. It appeared that the newly formed Dreamer Investment Management Company was a filthy mess. In his opinion, bing undercover in his ownpany had turned out to be a very fruitful experience. Since Liu Yanan paid no regards to their previous friendship, Chen Hao would be ruthless to her when it was time to deal with her. Chen Hao took note of this incident in his mind before returning to work. As his work was quite light and easy, he had a lot of free time during the day. Soon, it was time to go home. In the beginning, Yang Minxue had asked him earlier today to have a meal together after work. He reckoned Yang Minxue wanted to offer somefort to him as she was selected instead of Chen Hao. Chen Hao knew that Yang Minxue was a very considerate person. He decided to go along with her as nothing bad coulde out of having a meal. Currently, her department was still having a meeting, so Chen Hao waited for her in the lobby. Yang Minxue was seen at the lobby after around 10 minutes. However, she was not alone. She was with Liu Yanan. ¡°Chen Hao, I¡¯ve forgotten to tell you that I will have to cancel our arrangement. Supervisor Liu is going to introduce a friend to me and we are going to have dinner together,¡± Yang Minxue said while smiling apologetically. ¡°Of course, no problem! You go ahead!¡± Chen Hao forced out a smile and said. As for Liu Yanan, she merely gave Chen Hao a nce. She considered that she had acknowledged him. After that, she drove away together with Yang Minxue. Chen Hao had no choice but to head home. At that moment, his phone rang. It was a phone call from Li Zhenguo... Chapter 265 Buying a House at the Sales Office Chapter 265 Buying a House at the Sales Office ¡°Young Master Chen, I wanted to ask you something. You mentioned previously that you wanted to arrange living quarters for the workers of thepany, and that you wanted to choose the building. If you¡¯re busy, I can go settle it since I will be returning to Ping An County today!¡± Li Zhenguo said. ¡°There¡¯s no need, I have already chosen the location. I¡¯ll inform you after I buy it, then you cane over and deal with the handover! For now, just help me with the pendant,¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Alright, Young Master Chen. One more thing. It¡¯s something a little more personal, hehe. Your birthday ising soon, and following tradition, we have to hold a lively birthday celebration for you this year. Where do you think it should be held?¡± ¡°I just want to spend it at home. As for liveliness, I don¡¯t think that will be necessary. Just the few of you Young Master Chen had not really had a proper birthday celebration since he was young. Back then, his birthday was spent on his own with a good meal, or with Uncle and Aunt Wu, who brought him out for good food. After all, ever since high school, both his parents and his older sister weren''t at home anymore. Even if Chen Hao wanted to celebrate, no one was there to apany him. Li Zhenguo answered with resignation, ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± After hearing Li Zhenguo¡¯s confirmation, Chen Hao hung up the phone. Regarding the purchase of living quarters, Chen Hao had already chosen the location. He would just buy from the sales office he bought fromst time. After all, this ce was close to thepany and the environment was very good. Since he didn''t get to have his meal, Chen Hao walked toward the sales office, wanting to settle the matter quickly. Currently, two cars were parked in front of the sales office. Around six or seven people, both male and female, had gotten out of the car. The manager of the sales office said politely, ¡°Misters and Misses, good day. Are you all looking for a house? I can bring you to look around!¡± One of the girls said, ¡°The two of them are looking to buy a house to settle down in. We¡¯re just following them to look around!¡± ¡°I say, Mingxue. Your boyfriend¡¯s family¡¯s house is so big. I don¡¯t think living with his parents would be too bad, you don¡¯t really need a new house, right? Plus, this housing area is the most expensive one in Ping An County!¡± Indeed, the ones who were looking to buy a house were Li Mingxue and her boyfriend. At this moment, a girl told Li Mingxue this. Another girl said, ¡°I think living apart from your parents is better. Living with your parents-inw can be rather troublesome. This is so much better inparison! You can enjoy your undisturbed time together.¡± ¡°Yeah, exactly. That¡¯s what we were thinking. We should move out and enjoy our time as a couple together. Chen Lin, didn¡¯t you say that you also found a pretty impressive boyfriend? Why isn¡¯t he here today?¡± Li Mingxue asked Chen Lin. They were all close ssmates in high school, and now that they had all returned, the few of them who used to be closer naturally hung out together. Immediately after Li Mingxue got off work at the hospital, they apanied her to look for houses. Everyone hade together to have some fun. ¡°My boyfriend¡­ won¡¯t being!¡± Chen Lin said slightly awkwardly. Boyfriend? It was just her faking that Chen Hao was her boyfriend. Sigh. It wasn¡¯t real. ¡°How about you, Shihan? Didn¡¯t you say that your boyfriend wasing too?¡± Li Mingxue asked Li Shihan. ¡°He will be arriving in a bit!¡± Li Shihan eyed Chen Lin before smiling at Li Mingxue. Almost everyone here had heard about what happened between Chen Lin and Li Shihan, so they tactfully avoided the more sensitive topics. ¡°I think we should choose houses first. After that, we can go off and have fun!¡± Li Gang said. Thus, the crowd started picking out houses. Either way, they had things to talk about. Li Shihan then asked, ¡°Right, during our gathering, why weren¡¯t Jiang Xueqing and Li Wenyang there? Previously, Li Wenyang would definitely have showed up at events like that!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk about it. Li Wenyang¡¯s family is dealing with some things, so he can¡¯te out. As for Xueqing, I called her but she said she wasn¡¯t feeling well, so she didn¡¯te either.¡± ¡°Ah, then we¡¯ll just have to meet next time. Right, Mingxue! You haven¡¯t told us, how did your career develop so quickly? How did you be an official doctor so quickly?¡± Li Shihan asked curiously. At this, Li Gang looked extremely embarrassed. Li Mingxue also coughed awkwardly and said, ¡°It was Chen Hao who helped. Of course, Li Gang also helped me a lot!¡± N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Once they heard Chen Hao¡¯s name, Li Shihan and Chen Lin were both anxious. To be honest, Li Shihan had asked about a lot of ssmates. It almost seemed like she didn¡¯t just return from Jin Ling City, but from overseas instead. She didn¡¯t seem to know anything about anyone anymore and she wanted to know what every ssmate was doing. But actually, the question both Chen Lin and Li Shihan wanted to ask wasn''t really about any other ssmate but Chen Hao. After all, the current Chen Hao was a sensitive topic for both Li Shihan and Chen Lin. ¡°Yeah! You all might not know, but Chen Hao is really powerful now! He¡¯s different from before!¡± Li Mingxue looked thankful as she said this. Chen Lin and Li Shihan both thought, As if we didn''t already know by now how different he is. ¡°Hmph, he only just got to know a few people. What¡¯s so great about meeting more people?¡± Li Gang said indignantly. Chen Hao had stolen his thunder, causing Li Gang¡¯s status in ss to drop very quickly. Previously, everyone would always talk about Li Gang and Li Wenyang. But now, the one who was discussed the most was Chen Hao. As the crowd chatted, a girl suddenly said in shock, ¡°Guys, look! Isn¡¯t that Chen Hao? Why is he at the sales office?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± At that, the crowd got taken aback. They turned around to look and saw Chen Hao. ¡°It really is Chen Hao!¡± Chen Lin said, her face full of surprise. To be honest, Chen Lin had messaged Chen Hao a couple of times after she returned. But Chen Hao didn¡¯t reply to a single one. So Chen Lin had been overthinking these past few days. Did Chen Hao not like her anymore? On the other hand, Li Shihan felt a little surprised and happy. But after that, she felt disappointed. Chen Hao was now super capable and was even driving a Mercedes G500, but he no longer treated her well like he used to. In fact, he was extremely cold toward her. Either way, the both of them had thoughts of their own. Li Mingxue seemed to have noticed something. She asked, ¡°Chen Lin, Li Shihan, did something happen between the two of you and Chen Hao in Jin Ling?¡± ¡°No, nothing happened. If you want to talk about something, all I can say is how he used to treat someone amazingly, but now, he barely recognizes her! Hehe,¡± Chen Lin mocked. Hmph! Didn¡¯t he just fetch you that one time? What is there to boast about? And who said Chen Hao doesn¡¯t recognize me anymore? Li Shihan thought angrily. It looked like the two of them were about to start arguing. The other girl nced around and said, ¡°Why don''t we all go over there to sit down? Then we¡¯ll wait for Chen Hao toe in and see who he greets first. Wouldn¡¯t we be able to tell then?¡± ¡°Alright, we can also give Chen Hao a surprise. When he turns to find all of us sitting here, it will probably give him a shock!¡± Li Mingxue said, smiling. Li Gang¡¯s face was full of jealousy. But when he saw that the crowd had all moved to the sofa on the side, he also went there. Right at that moment, Chen Hao happened to walk across the road and into the sales office. Chapter 266 I Will Buy Two Blocks Chapter 266 I Will Buy Two Blocks Chen Hao felt pretty anxious because this matter should have been settled two days ago. It had been dyed because of that incident with Li Xiao. That was why it had been dragged until now. Because some of the ces had been picked out by Chen Hao, he came personally. Once Chen Hao entered the sales office building, he ran toward the sales desk. Whereas that agent from before immediately looked both embarrassed and disgusted when Chen Hao came in. She was embarrassed because she had thought he was an innocent fool with no money who could be scammed easily. When Jiang Ranran had apanied Chen Hao to buy a house that time, she had asked Chen Hao to take out a loan and whatnot with a cold attitude. After all, he wasn¡¯t a big client. However, she was humiliated the next day because Chen Hao didn¡¯t even take a loan, but paid the full price for it immediately. Without taking a loan, the agent¡¯smission would be low. That was why she became even meaner after that, and she even scolded Chen Hao, ¡°Are you stupid? Why didn¡¯t you take the loan, you idiot? You don¡¯t even know how to spend your money properly!¡± It was a pretty harsh scolding. In the end, Chen Hao had just thrown a bunch of money on the floor and said, ¡°Hurry up, don¡¯t waste my time!¡± Everyone in the sales office was stunned. The crowd had looked at her disdainfully, which caused her to lose face. At this moment, when she saw Chen Hao again, her emotions wereplicated. ¡°I want to ask you about the property! Apart from that, I also want to ask why you ignored my messages or calls! Am I no longer your client after buying one house?¡± Chen Hao half-yelled at the agent who he dealt with thest time. He wanted to know how much it would cost for him to buy a whole building, but she had been ignoring Chen Hao for the past two days when he messaged him. This made him extremely angry. ¡°Hehe, what is it? Why, have you finally decided to take out a loan now? Sorry, I can¡¯t change it for you. Also, if you want to renovate your house, you need to wait for your deed to arrive. Alright, I¡¯ve answered everything you wanted to ask. Is there anything else? If there isn¡¯t, then I¡¯ll be serving other clients! I don¡¯t have the energy to keep talking to you!¡± The agent, Li Yue, red at Chen Hao. This made the other salespeople start giggling. They were all watching the drama unfold. Who didn¡¯t know that Li Yue enjoyed scolding people the most out of all the salespeople? This person had humiliated her thest time he was here, so she was bound to get her revenge. After Li Yue finished speaking, she arranged her folders roughly and stood to another side to write her notes. ¡°What kind of attitude is this? I¡¯m your client, do you know that?¡± Chen Hao immediately scolded her. ¡°Hehe! What attitude of mine? What kind of attitude would you like me to have? You just made a full payment for a house. How pretentious can you be? It¡¯s not like I got a lot ofmission from you, anyway. All I got was around 2,000. If you want it, I¡¯ll give it back to you! Don¡¯t think of being my client anymore, hmph!¡± If only he had taken a loan. Then, hermission would have beenrger. But without a loan, hermission was only that much. Apart from that, selling a house with a loan would get her a good bonus. So, if Li Yue¡¯s clients didn¡¯t take a loan, then her monthly bonus would even be reduced. ¡°Where¡¯s your manager? You just act like this and no one cares?¡± Chen Hao did not expect Li Yue to be daring enough to give clients attitude as soon as they walked in. He was boiling with rage now. The people at the front desk were smiling bitterly with their heads down, not answering Chen Hao¡¯s question. Obviously, not many people cared about Chen Hao. ¡°Li Yue, what¡¯s going on? You made the most salesst year, so why are you arguing with an unimportant person?¡± At this moment, a middle-aged couple walked in. The people at the front desk all stood up and greeted them with a smile. ¡°Mister Li, wee!¡± ¡°Miss Li, you became even prettier!¡± The salespeople buttered her up. Li Yue was saying happily, ¡°Mister Li, it¡¯s all his fault! If it wasn¡¯t for my cousin who asked me to help him out with buying a house, I wouldn¡¯t have cared. Mister Li, how many houses are you buying today?¡± Mister Li was involved in renovating apartments. He usually bought the units and changed the three- bedroom, two-hallyout into a six-bedroom unit, then rented it out. Naturally, he became the favourite person to these sales office workers. ¡°I just want to buy one for now. Help me process it quickly!¡± Mister Li smiled and held his wife close, the two of them looking at Chen Hao disdainfully. Some people were just this way. When they saw themselves being treated nicely and being respected, and when they saw the other person getting treated badly, they naturally felt a sense of superiority over the person. On the other side was the VIP section. Li Mingxue, Chen Lin, Li Shihan and the others had witnessed everything that had just happened. At first, Chen Lin had wanted to go over and say hi, but Chen Hao had started arguing with the agent. That was why she didn¡¯t go over. Now, it was even more embarrassing. Chen Hao had just been ignored by other people, and to go over there now to greet him would only make him feel worse. So, they just stayed at the VIP area and watched. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. At this time, Li Yue came back with the contract for Mister Li, her face still full of rage. At the same time, she was holding some other forms. Behind her, a quiet girl followed. ¡°Hmph! Zhang Meng, this client is yours from now on. Let¡¯s change the information on this contract to your name! Also, I will transfer the 2,000 to youter. From now on, you¡¯re in charge of dealing with him! Sigh, what a pain!¡± Li Yue watched Zhang Meng change it carefully, and after ring at Chen Hao once, started introducing the houseyouts to Mister Li with a smile. ¡°Mister Chen, I will be your agent from now on. If you have any problems, y-you can look for me!¡± Zhang Meng looked pretty young, maybe around twenty years old? She probably just started here, and looked quite fresh. She was looking at Chen Hao as she spoke, nervousness written all over her face. After looking coldly at Li Yue once, Chen Hao smiled at Zhang Meng lightly. ¡°Alright, please show me theyout for blocks B1 and B2. I want to take a look.¡± ¡°Alright, sir. I will introduce them to you briefly.¡± Zhang Meng nodded seriously. ¡°Hmph! Zhang Meng, he has already bought a house. He¡¯s purposely causing trouble for you, so why do you bother with him? Just ask him what business he has here, and if he has, ask him to get to the point. If he doesn¡¯t, he can just leave. Don¡¯t waste time!¡± When Li Yue heard this, she immediately said this scornfully. ¡°Li Yue, why argue with these people? Hehe, it seems like he has only bought a few houses before and wants to hear about everything now. I¡¯ve seen many people like this!¡± Mister Liughed. ¡°Sigh, don''t even start. The house prices in our Ping An County have risen so much. The fact that a person from the countryside can afford to buy a house is already very impressive,¡± Miss Li said sarcastically. But Zhang Meng still found B1 and B2¡¯syout information for Chen Hao to take a look at. B1 and B2 had just beenunched and no one had bought it yet. She also patiently exined everything. After Chen Hao finished looking, he closed the brochure and said, ¡°Alright, I want both blocks B1 and B2! Let¡¯s sign the contract!¡± Chapter 267 The Whole Crowd was Stunned Chapter 267 The Whole Crowd was Stunned ¡°What?¡± The people at the front desk, including Li Yue, were shocked when they heard that. But what followed right after was a burst of thunderousughter. Li Yue, Mister Li and Miss Li were howling exceptionally loudly. ¡°Hahaha! Damn, brother, don¡¯t humiliate yourself!¡± Mister Li said, holding his stomach. ¡°This person is crazy, right?¡± ¡°Yeah, he said he wanted to buy two buildings! I really thought I heard wrongly, hahaha!¡± ¡°Then¡­ do we need to call security?¡± The people at the front desk wereughing as if they had just been told the world¡¯s best joke. At this time, the manager came forward with a serious face. ¡°What¡¯s happening? Look at all of you! What kind of reputation are you creating for us?¡± Li Yueughed so hard that the corners of her mouth almost split open. ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry, manager! This man named Chen Hao said he wanted to buy two of our buildings, haha!¡± Li Yue wasughing so hard that her eyes were tearing up. This manager clearly had the ability to keep hisposurepared to these salespeople. The manager held his breath and looked at Chen Hao seriously. He stood up straight before walking toward Chen Hao with a strict face. ¡°Mister Chen¡ªpfft!¡±N?velDrama.Org content. He had only managed to say his name beforeughing uncontrobly. In his eyes, this was way too funny. Their rule was not tough, no matter how ridiculous their client was. That was, unless they couldn¡¯t resist! ¡°You¡¯reughing?¡± Chen Hao touched his nose lightly. These people were just too aggravating. Of course, it was way too easy to get them to stopughing. ¡°How much is the price of one building? Have you calcted it?¡± Chen Hao asked Zhang Meng, his expression icy. ¡°Yes, one building has around a hundred units. After rebates, it is sixty five million. Two buildings would then be a hundred and thirty million,¡± Zhang Meng said seriously. Chen Hao was thinking of renovating one building into his worker¡¯s living quarters, and the other building into regr apartments to rent out. This was perfect. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get someone to send the money over immediately. Let¡¯s sign the contract!¡± After that, Chen Hao immediately made a call. ¡°Send a hundred and thirty million over to the sales office right now. In cash!¡± Then, Chen Hao leaned against the counter with a frosty expression, watching the crowd in front of him clutching their stomachs andughing. He wondered if they would still be able tough in just another minute. ¡°Mister, please calm down. You can¡¯t just sign the contract like that!¡± The manager gathered himself and smiled as he spoke. Chen Hao stayed silent. Twenty minutester. A lorry reverse parked into the entrance of the sales office without warning. The security guards could not stop them even if they tried. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s happening?¡± Everyone in the sales office was stunned, and they all came over to take a look. The manager also walked to the entrance to take a look, wondering what was going on. At this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. It was a call from an underling of his. The underling asked, ¡°Young Master Chen, the money is at the door. It is all in cash like you asked for. Do we get someone to bring it in, or do you want them to collect it themselves?¡± When Chen Hao asked for cash through the phone just now with a rather annoyed tone, this underling seemed to have guessed what was going on. So he purposely stoked the fire. ¡°Collect?¡± Chen Hao eximed, answering the phone as he signed the contract for both buildings and threw down the pen. ¡°Just leave it at the doorstep!¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master Chen!¡± The underling answered. After that, the back of the lorry opened up and the inside was filled to the brim with money. The rear load of the lorry slowly raised and all the money in the lorry was spilled in front of the sales office entrance. ¡°Oh my god!¡± The manager was so shocked he fell on his behind. Li Yue couldn¡¯t even hold onto the file in her hands. Whereas the few others at the front desk and the ones who were buying houses all quietened down, widening their eyes to take in the scene. Who was he? He was way too powerful! At this time, a besuited man got out of the car and stepped over the pile of money in front of the door. He walked toward Chen Hao and whispered in his ear, ¡°Young Master Chen, everything is settled!¡± ¡°Okay, not bad. Everything else will be left to you. I have already chosen the locations of the property, just follow up with this youngdy named Zhang Meng!¡± Chen Hao patted Zhang Meng¡¯s shoulder. Zhang Meng was so shocked that she gulped. Both buildings were really bought by Chen Hao. How muchmission was she going to get from this purchase? Gosh, she had just counterattacked Li Yue! Zhang Meng felt as if she was in heaven. As for Li Yue, apart from feeling scared, she was also full of regret. He really bought them. If she hadn¡¯t used that kind of attitude just now, then this would all be going to her instead. She was his agent, after all! But she had just signed the transfer contract twenty minutes ago. Her face was green with envy. Not to mention the group of workers who hadn¡¯t even bothered with Chen Hao before. As for Mister Li and Miss Li, they were so shocked that they were rooted to the ground. Sigh! Chen Hao had wanted to stay lowkey today. Even if Li Yue had treated him rudely, Chen Hao would still have not gone to such lengths. But this group of people went way overboard. Did you really think that I would let you push me around? Seeing so many people staring at him in shock caused Chen Hao to feel even more uneasy. He felt like leaving. If he got recognized by people he knew, it would be awkward. But once he turned around, Chen Hao was shocked. Because in the VIP corner by the side stood a few people. And he knew all of them. Li Shihan, Chen Lin, Li Mingxue, Li Gang and a few female ssmates from his high school were all there. They were all stunned, their faces white from shock. ¡°Chen Hao, y-you!¡± Chen Lin had started to stutter. They had seen every move he made and heard every word he said. Especially when Chen Hao said he wanted to buy two buildings, and when he had called for his money to be delivered. Some of them hadughed at him, too. However... When everything in front of them happened, they were utterly dumbfounded. Because they had known Chen Hao for so many years, but they had never seen such an overbearing Chen Hao before. It felt as though Chen Hao was a stranger now. Smack! Li Gang¡¯s phone fell from his grip and onto the floor. Li Shihan couldn¡¯t even catch her breath, and her heart felt like it was being seized painfully. She had imagined it countless times, but the scariest thing had still happened. Li Shihan. You treat Chen Hao this way, but what if he bes very powerful in the future? Will you regret it? How could that be? Chen Hao had probably just won the lottery and gotten to know a few people. What was so good about that? He still couldn¡¯tpare to Ding Hao! That was how Li Shihanforted herself before. But now, all of her thoughts seemed like a sheet of ss, having been shattered by the rock of reality falling from high above. ¡°Damn, when did you all arrive?¡± Chen Hao had tucked one of his hands into his pocket, but now he took it out embarrassedly. That was right. He had be pretentious under the influence of his rage just now. But now, he had no need to keep this pretense up in front of Chen Lin and the others. Besides, Chen Hao really hated the feeling of being pretentious. ¡°Chen Hao, we were here the whole time!¡± Li Gang swallowed and immediately changed his tone. Chapter 268 A Woman Who Should Not Be Angered Chapter 268 A Woman Who Should Not Be Angered ¡°Chen Hao, we are having a gathering today and we actually wanted to invite you!¡± Chen Lin said as she quickly ran to Chen Hao¡¯s side. Chen Hao was being stared at by the crowd. Whoever was beside Chen Hao and managed to speak to him would feel rather proud of themselves. Li Shihan looked at Chen Hao with aplicated expression, not knowing what to say. ¡°You guys have fun. I¡¯m a little busy, so I¡¯ll head off first!¡± Chen Hao smiled at Chen Lin, Li Mingxue and the others. He didn¡¯t continue further and left after that. Li Shihan stomped her foot angrily. Chen Hao didn¡¯t look at her again this time, and she felt horrible. After Chen Hao left, he went onto the main road and prepared to hail a taxi. ¡°Chen Hao? Are you waiting for the bus here?¡± Right then, a Toyota Camry stopped next to him, and the backseat window rolled down to reveal Yang Minxue. Next to Yang Minxue was Liu Yanan. As for the one driving, he was a handsome boy who looked to be around the same age as himself. Chen Hao suddenly remembered that Yang Minxue had wanted to treat him to a meal, but in the end, she had been pulled away to have a meal with Liu Yanan instead. As for Liu Yanan, she did not even have the slightest intention to invite Chen Hao. That was why Chen Hao had gone to the sales office. N?velDrama.Org content. It looked as if they had finished their meal. ¡°I¡¯m heading back!¡± Chen Hao said. Chen Hao specially took a nce at Liu Yanan and saw her ying on her phone, acting as if she hadn¡¯t seen him. Alright, then. If you don¡¯t say anything, then I¡¯m not going to take the initiative to say hi, either. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for today, Chen Hao. How about I make it up to you tomorrow? I will definitely treat you to a meal then!¡± Yang Minxue said apologetically. ¡°Alright, no problem!¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°Alright, bye!¡± This wasn¡¯t her car, so Yang Minxue couldn¡¯t give Chen Hao a ride. Therefore, she said goodbye. The person driving the car looked at Chen Hao and scoffed once before stepping on the gas and driving away. ¡°Yang Minxue, who was that? Is he your friend?¡± The driver asked in a slightly jealous tone. Actually, Liu Yanan had only asked Yang Minxue out for a meal because of her assistant team leader, who was attracted to Yang Minxue the moment he saw her. That was why Liu Yanan had gotten her to join them for a meal. She wanted to introduce them to each other. But today¡¯s meal obviously wasn¡¯t very upbeat, and this assistant team leader didn¡¯t manage to brag or show off his abilities. Plus, Yang Minxue was rather standoffish toward him. This made him feel rather unhappy. Moreover, Yang Minxue had greeted this brat so enthusiastically the moment she saw him. This made the assistant team leader, Wang Kang, feel even more unhappy. ¡°He¡¯s my new colleague, Chen Hao!¡± Yang Minxue said mildly. ¡°Hah, this is that person I talked to you about. His name is Chen Hao, and he was my high school ssmate!¡± Liu Yanan said coldly. ¡°Ah, I remember! Why didn¡¯t you say hi just now, Yanan?¡± Wang Kang asked. When Wang Kang remembered what Liu Yanan had said about Chen Hao, he felt better immediately. ¡°We aren¡¯t on the same level anyway, so why would I greet him? Also, Yang Minxue, don¡¯t call him your colleague anymore. He isn¡¯t a worker in the Marketing Department. He¡¯s just working in the Administration and Logistics Department!¡± Liu Yanan advised Yang Minxue. ¡°Pfft! Damn, I was just going to ask which department he was in. Turns out he¡¯s just a f*cking logistics guy, haha! Yang Minxue, stay away from this kind of people from now on! You guys are on different levels. You¡¯re a white-cor worker, okay?¡± Wang Kangughed scornfully. The Investment Management Department was the core of Dreamer Investment Management Company, and they were a subsidiary of the Group. Thepany was divided into departments such as the marketing department, the audit department and such. Liu Yanan was the supervisor, also known as the team leader of Group 4 in the Marketing Department, along with a few other groups. She was in charge of market research and the development of investment projects. In her eyes, the logistics department was just an unskilled, useless department. The three of them discussed as they left. The next day, Chen Hao came to thepany early in the morning. Right as he stepped into the elevator, he saw another person with a briefcase. The two of them looked at each other. This man was exactly the same one who was driving Yang Minxue yesterday. Currently, Wang Kang looked at Chen Hao contemptuously. There were just the two of them in the elevator, so Wang Kang said, ¡°Hey you, logistics guy. You know Yang Minxue, right?¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right. We met yesterday.¡± Chen Hao looked at this person. He had looked at Chen Hao with contempt yesterday while he was in the car, so Chen Hao didn¡¯t speak to him with a smile. He chose to reply to him mildly. ¡°Haha, I advise you to stay away from her. She was just being polite when she said she wanted to treat you to a meal. Do you really think she wanted to? Don¡¯t you know what your job is, and how different your levels are?¡± Wang Kang scoffed. He just wanted to remind Chen Hao. What he meant was, Take a p*ss and look at your reflection. Yang Minxue has me, so you better leave her alone. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about our levels. Who even are you? What a busybody,¡± Chen Hao said coldly. Right at this moment, the elevator door opened and Chen Hao didn¡¯t even spare Wang Kang a second nce before walking away. ¡°Motherf*cker! You little pr*ck, just wait! I won¡¯t let you live this down!¡± Wang Kang was so angry that his face paled. Not one person had spoken to him like that before in thepany. Chen Hao arrived at the hall, where he was about to start working. ¡°Morning, Chen Hao!¡± A girl said to Chen Hao. ¡°Good morning!¡± Chen Hao smiled as he went to his desk to turn on hisputer. There were three people in total in the Administrative and Logistics Department. One of them was a little fatso. The other person in the team was a girl. The moment he saw her, Chen Hao was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Fang Fei, is that you?¡± This was the girl who Chen Hao had met in the elevator the day of his interview. Except, when Chen Hao came yesterday, Fang Fei seemed to have left to run some errands. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s Chen Hao, right? Once I saw the colleagues¡¯ name list, I knew that it was you. I went out yesterday to deliver some documents, and when I came back after work, you all had left! Haha, to think that the two of us really became colleagues!¡± ¡°Yeah, I can¡¯t believe it either!¡± Chen Hao felt pretty happy. They had barely had a conversation when a girl walked over. ¡°Hey, newbie! Help me out here. This is a USB drive, download twenty movies and put it inside! Finish downloading them before noon today!¡± Chen Hao looked at this girl. He could say that he kind of knew her. It was the girl in the elevator from yesterday, who was rather pretty and rather aloof. She was the one who said that he would definitely not get the job. That was how Chen Hao got to know her. Her name was Wang Meina, and she was the assistant team leader of Group 3. She was someone from Ping An County. To be fair, if anyone from the Marketing Department asked him for help, he would do it as it was his job. But¡­ downloading movies? So Chen Hao said, ¡°Assistant Team Leader Wang, it isn¡¯t right to download movies during work hours, right? I still have to work.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that? You call that dumb stuff you do ¡°work¡±? I¡¯m only asking you to do one simple thing. Why are you being so hesitant? I¡¯m telling you, if you dy my afternoon movie-watching session, just wait and see!¡± Once Chen Hao said that, Wang Meina immediately got aggravated. She pped the USB drive onto the table and turned to leave. ¡°Chen Hao, Chen Hao!¡± Fang Fei, however, tugged at Chen Hao¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Chen Hao, there are some people in ourpany who you just cannot anger. Don¡¯t you know who she is?¡± Chapter 269 The Conflict in the Marketing Department Chapter 269 The Conflict in the Marketing Department ¡°Who is she?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Assistant Team Leader Wang is the godsister of our Marketing Department¡¯s Deputy Minister. You should know what I mean!¡± Fang Fei said softly. ¡°Ah!¡± No wonder, Chen Hao thought. From yesterday, he had only seen her either looking at herself in the mirror or fooling around. In general, he just hadn¡¯t seen her actually working. It looked like she had support. Next, he had to deal with the movies Wang Meina wanted him to download. After all, Chen Hao would be working here as an undercover for awhile, so he couldn¡¯t afford to get off on the wrong foot with Wang Meina. Therefore, he just downloaded them. ¡°Hey you, logistics guy. What are you doing?¡± Chen Hao¡¯s desk was in the hall, and many people walked past the corridor next to the hall. At this time, a man around thirty years old with his hands behind his back asked him coldly. Obviously, he had seen Chen Hao¡¯sputer screen. Behind this man, another worker stood. It was none other than Liu Yanan¡¯s assistant team leader, Wang Kang. Currently, he was looking at Chen Hao with a cold smile on his face. ¡°Chief Zhang, this worker is downloading movies during working hours. How dare he? This is only his first day, and he¡¯s already behaving like this. How do you think he will be in the future?¡± Wang Kang said, pointing at Chen Hao. Chief Zhang had already walked next to Chen Hao¡¯s desk. Chen Hao had, of course, minimized the window he was using to download the movies. Who knew that Chief Zhang¡¯s eyes were so sharp that he could see Chen Hao downloading movies from so far away? Chen Hao felt helpless. Chief Zhang had already opened the window. ¡°How dare you download movies during work hours? What kind ofpany do you take us for? What is your name?!¡± Chief Zhang yelled angrily. Currently, all of the workers in the hall and everyone in the Marketing Department came out and surrounded them, watching the drama unfold. Yang Minxue was also watching by the side. Watching Chen Hao get yelled at made her feel rather awkward. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me who wanted to download these movies!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t you, then who asked you to download them?¡± Chief Zhang asked coldly. ¡°It was Assistant Team Leader Wang!¡± Chen Hao said as he pointed at Wang Meina. Firstly, he wasn¡¯t working here because he wanted an actual job, so he didn¡¯t need to help a worker like Wang Meina take the me. Secondly, this suited Chen Hao very well, because he wanted to see how she would be dealt with if he reported her doings to the chief. Wang Meina, however, was instantly full of rage. She picked up a small bookshelf and threw it at Chen Hao. ¡°What did you say? Who told you to download it?!¡± Wang Meina was furious. Obviously, someone like Wang Meina was in the wrong, but an arrogant girl like her would never have admitted her own wrongdoings. To do that was like a p in the face for her. Besides, Chen Hao was a nobody. Of course she couldn¡¯t handle it. Wang Meina started to go crazy and ran toward Chen Hao. The situation was escting. As for Chief Zhang, he just frowned at them. ¡°Enough, Wang Meina! What are you going on about? Take your USB drive. I¡¯m telling you, if this happens again, don¡¯t me me for being harsh!¡± After that, he red once at Chen Hao before walking away. Chen Hao thought, That¡¯s it? Wang Meina was so obviously going against thepany¡¯s rules. Did that not warrant a harsher warning? As for Wang Kang, he looked at Chen Hao and smiled coldly before leaving smugly. This wasn¡¯t really a big thing, but Wang Meina had started to hate Chen Hao. After the chief left, she stayed behind to continue scolding and cursing Chen Hao. Her words were incredibly harsh and mean. No one in the Marketing Department spoke up, since they were all rather afraid of her. Chen Hao was rather bored staying there. After awhile, he felt like he needed to go to the restroom, so he stood up to take a bathroom break. Once he stepped into the restroom, he immediately smelled a strong smell of cigarettes. Clearly, there were a few people smoking in there. ¡°Wang Kang, this guy is probably done for, isn¡¯t he? That transfer to be official in three months is something the chief definitely won¡¯t sign for him!¡± ¡°How dare he piss our Wang Kang off? He won¡¯t be able to stay here for much longer!¡± Someone said. ¡°Enough. By then you guys will know how I n to deal with him!¡± He continued, ¡°Right, Yang Minxue is mine! The two of you, don¡¯t go near her and startplimenting her or showing off!¡± ¡°Alright, Wang Kang!¡± After they spoke for a while longer, they left. Chen Hao was in the other cubicle and heard everything extremely clearly. Obviously, the leader was Wang Kang. Chen Hao had already guessed that it was Wang Kang early on. It also looked like Chief Zhang was summoned by Wang Kang on purpose. As the assistant manager of the department, Wang Kang definitely knew quite a bit about Wang Meina¡¯s behaviour. Once he saw the USB drive plugged into Chen Hao¡¯sputer, he already knew. That was why he purposely told on Chen Hao and got him to offend the easily angered Wang Meina. F*ck, this little guy was pretty sinister! Chen Hao had heard about workce politics and that there was bound to be someone who would throw others under the bus, but he didn¡¯t know that he would face one so soon. It seemed like he treated Chen Hao as his love rival, and wanted to make Chen Hao leave the Alright then, it¡¯s on! I¡¯ll take it slow. There¡¯s no rush! Chen Hao spent the day sitting through Wang Meina¡¯s scornful jabs. Finally, they finished work in the afternoon. Chen Hao came back to see the colleagues of the investment department all downstairs, and they all had not left yet. Some were scrolling their phones, some were making phone calls, and they all seemed as though they were waiting for a ride. Chen Hao had gone to deliver some files, so he didn¡¯t know what was going on. He happened to see Fang Fei and the bespectacled fatso colleague. ¡°What are you all waiting for?¡± Chen Hao asked, smiling. ¡°Huh? For real? Chen Hao, did you not receive the message?¡± Fang Fei asked in surprise. ¡°What message?¡± ¡°The one about tonight! Our department is having a weing party to wee you and the other new colleague. When I joinedst month, the marketing department also held one for me! It¡¯s pretty lively and rather fun!¡± Fang Fei said with a smile. ¡°Huh? No one told me though!¡± Chen Hao checked his phone. He definitely hadn¡¯t received any messages. ¡°Let me see!¡± Fang Fei took Chen Hao¡¯s phone and searched, but couldn¡¯t find anything. Fang Fei proceeded to let Chen Hao look at her message. ¡°Marketing Department: Weing party today. Fang Fei, book room 202!¡± Chen Hao thought, Isn¡¯t this bullying? The whole marketing department is going, but you left me out? It wasn¡¯t something to be angry about, but Chen Hao still felt his face heat up. N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Chen Hao, which room are you in? Are we sitting together?¡± Right then, Yang Minxue came over and asked Chen Hao. ¡°I wasn¡¯t invited,¡± Chen Hao said mildly. ¡°Huh? How could that be? Did Assistant Team Leader Wang Meina and Wang Kang forget about you? I¡¯ll go ask them!¡± Yang Minxue said. After all, they had joined thepany at the same time. They were both newbies, so it was easy for them to be friends. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you go. I¡¯ll pass!¡± When Chen Hao heard that Wang Kang and Wang Meina had organized this, he knew what was going on. Under the disdainful gaze of a group of female coworkers, Chen Hao left on his own. After he returned to his hotel, he prepared to take a shower. Right then, someone knocked on his door. ¡°Young Master Chen, are you there? Director Li asked me to look for you!¡± Chapter 270 The Concert Tickets Chapter 270 The Concert Tickets The one knocking was Li Zhenguo¡¯s secretary. She was here for a contract that Chen Hao had to sign. Hispany hadunched a number of projects in Ping An County at the same time, so the number of contracts he had to sign also increased. ¡°Huh? Wait, what¡¯s this?¡± When the secretary was about to leave, Chen Hao saw a stack of envelopes that the secretary had left on his desk. When he opened to take a look, it turned out to be concert tickets. There had to be around fifty tickets at least. The secretary said with a smile, ¡°Oh yes, Young Master Chen. Weunched seven projects at the same time, so ourpany has organized arge scale concert. We have invited around thirty celebrities and also some very well-known idol groups too! General Manager Li said that you have many ssmates in Ping An County, so he asked me to deliver some tickets to you. If you need more, he can arrange it for you!¡± ¡°It''s okay, these are enough. I don¡¯t have a lot of friends anyway,¡± Chen Hao said mildly. The secretary bowed deeply, purposely exposing her cleavage. However, this didn¡¯t get Young Master Chen¡¯s attention. This caused the secretary to feel sorry for herself. After that, she left. ¡°Who should I give these tickets to? Hehe, General Manager Li is pretty good at this. He¡¯s quite meticulous!¡± Chen Hao chuckled and thought, Alright, I¡¯ll give some to Li Xiao and some to Fang Fei tomorrow. He had worked there for one day, and Fang Fei could be counted as the one who took care of him the most in thatpany. Obviously, Chen Hao had to show some gratitude. After he finished washing up, he climbed into his bed to start his video call with Su Tongxin. Counting the days, Su Tongxin had been away for about two months. After just one more month, she should be home. The two of them chatted for three hours. Only then did they hang up. Tonight, Chen Hao slept rather soundly. The next day, he arrived at thepany early. There were already quite a number of coworkers milling around. They seemed to have had a good time at yesterday¡¯s gathering and hadn¡¯t gotten over it. They were still discussing what happened yesterday. ¡°Haha, I have never had more fun in my life than I did yesterday! You guys didn¡¯t see it, butter on when we went to the KTV, Zhang kissed Li, and it cracked me up!¡± ¡°Yeah! And Tao even drank so much that he confessed to Fang Fei. This punk thought Fang Fei was harmless and kept trying to pull her into his arms, only for Fang Fei to p him! Thinking back to Tao¡¯s bewildered face, wow. I can¡¯t stopughing!¡± A group of girlsughed until they were practically falling over. At this time, one of the girls suddenly lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously, ¡°Actually, something else happened yesterday! I saw it when I was on the way to the bathroom!¡± ¡°Huh? What happened? Tell us quickly!¡± ¡°Ahem. Wang Kang, Assistant Team Leader of Group 4, actually confessed to the newbie in their team, Yang Minxue! He even bought flowers! Liu Yanan was there to matchmake the two of them!¡± ¡°Damn, that¡¯s some intense stuff! What happened after that? Did Yang Minxue ept?¡± The crowd bickered noisily. ¡°I don¡¯t know about that! I wanted to go in and take a look but got pushed out by someone from their team! But by the looks of it, I don¡¯t think she said yes!¡± ¡°Ahem, how did you find out?¡± ¡°Because Wang Kang is so stubborn! Do you know what he said next? He said he knew that Yang Minxue liked the singer Lan Ting, and since he¡¯sing to Ping An County along with many other singers and performers, Wang Kang said he would buy tickets for that concert for Yang Minxue!¡± ¡°Really? I heard that the tickets for the concert are going for at least two thousand, and that¡¯s for the seats that are furthest back! Even then, it isn¡¯t guaranteed that you will get a ticket! They¡¯re too hard to get!¡± Some of the girls said regretfully. The concert had been advertised all over Ping An County¡¯s media and social websites, even showing up at newsstands and bus stops. It had reached almost everyone, so even the tickets for the seats that were in the middle andst section were all marked up to ridiculous prices. Two thousand was just the starting price for a regr seat. However, the price had skyrocketed to five or six thousand now. Even then, it still wasn¡¯t guaranteed that you would be able to get one! The celebrities that would be making an appearance were all famous, and of course that included the young, handsome boy bands that every girl liked. Who wouldn¡¯t want to go to the concert? They could only watch the livestream online. ¡°If he can really get them, then Yang Minxue has to say yes, right? Plus, I think Wang Meina will also go for the tickets. Just wait and see, she will definitely note for work that day! She¡¯s a diehard fan of Yi Fan, and the movies and entertainment shows on her phone are all about Yi Fan! She will definitely try to get tickets!¡± The crowd were all discussing. After a while, the number of peopleing in for work had increased. Fang Fei had arrived as well. ¡°Good morning, Chen Hao!¡± Fang Fei didn¡¯t look very happy, but she still smiled as she greeted Chen Hao. ¡°Good morning, Fang Fei!¡± Chen Hao smiled at her. Knowing that she didn¡¯t have the best timest night, Chen Hao didn¡¯t ask further. ¡°Right, Chen Hao. I bought these dumplings, but I got too many and I can¡¯t finish them. Have you eaten? Can you help me eat some?¡± Fang Fei asked. ¡°Alright, I haven¡¯t had breakfast!¡± Chen Hao took some dumplings and ate them up. As he did so, he watched Fang Fei open herputer. There was a female pop star on herputer background. Chen Hao then asked, ¡°Fang Fei, so you like this pop star? I heard that she will be performing at the concert!¡± Fang Fei nodded vigorously and took a sip of soy milk. ¡°Yeah, I really like her! When I was in school, my biggest dream was to earn money when I was older so that I could go to one of her concerts at least once in my life, and hear her sing live. However, she¡¯s so close yet so far from me now. The tickets are way too expensive, and I can¡¯t even get a ticket with six thousand. If I spend any more money, I will go broke!¡± Fang Fei said sadly. Chen Hao ate a few more dumplings and said, ¡°Well, I do have some connections, so I¡¯ll give you a ticket for the concert!¡± Fang Fei was really a nice person, and now he had even eaten her food. Chen Hao had so many tickets, so it would be a waste not to give them away. ¡°Huh? For real?¡± Fang Fei was surprised, but then she said disappointedly, ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t mess with me! How can the tickets be so easy to get?¡± ¡°For real!¡± Chen Hao said as he took out a ticket from his bag, passing it to Fang Fei. ¡°Here, this is a ticket for the middle section that is closer to the front! This seat is on a tform, so you don¡¯t need to squeeze with others. Taking pictures and whatnot will be the clearest from here!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Fang Fei took the ticket and stared at him tongue-tied, not daring to believe that this was real. ¡°Chen Hao, I-I don¡¯t know how to thank you!¡± Fang Fei¡¯s hands were shaking. She wanted to pay Chen Hao for the ticket, but he kept declining. After eating, Chen Hao felt thirsty, so he went to the water dispenser to get some water. At this time, a group of coworkers walked toward him. ¡°Ugh! I¡¯m so p*ssed off! I¡¯m so angry!¡± N?velDrama.Org content. A girl walked over angrily and threw her bag onto the table, looking extremely enraged. A person asked, ¡°Assistant Team Leader Wang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± This angry girl was obviously Wang Meina. Chapter 271 Regret Chapter 271 Regret ¡°I tried to get the concert tickets once I got home yesterday, but they¡¯re all sold out! I¡¯m so p*ssed, argh!¡± Wang Meina shrieked like a madwoman. Right then, Wang Kang came to work. Compared to Wang Meina, Wang Kang looked pretty happy. ¡°Assistant Team Leader Wang, did you queue for the concert tickets? How did it go? Did you manage to get them?¡± A group of colleagues asked. ¡°Hehe, my luck was pretty good! I managed to get two tickets, but they¡¯re both in the back row!¡± Wang Kang smiled smugly. ¡°Huh? Really? Let me see! Wow, they¡¯re real! Assistant Team Leader Wang, you¡¯re so clever!¡± The girls said admirably. Some of them even purposely grazed their chests against Wang Kang¡¯s arm. If Wang Kang was happy, he might even give a ticket to them! ¡°Wang Kang, since you got two tickets, can you sell one to me? I really want to go!¡± Wang Meina said, her eyes lighting up. Despite this being an event by Dreamer Investment Group, not many workers managed to get a ticket. This kind of event wasn¡¯t organized for the workers, after all. Instead, they expected many rich businessmen from Jin Ling to be there. ¡°Sorry, Wang Meina! I need to give one to Yang Minxue so that the two of us can go together!¡± Wang Kang shook his head. ¡°Hmph! Yang Minxue didn¡¯t even ept you, so why are you so dedicated to her?¡± Wang Meina¡¯s impatient personality came to the forefront and she yelled at Wang Kang. ¡°What do you mean, dedicated? What do you even know?!¡± Both of them were at loggerheads, and it looked like they were about to start arguing. Liu Yanan came over to stop the fight. One party really wanted it and the other party would not give it away. With their short tempers, if the two of them really started fighting, they would disrupt the harmonious environment in the office. Right then, Yang Minxue walked into the office with her bag. The tension diffused. When Yang Minxue saw that everyone was staring at her, she felt rather embarrassed. Her gaze shifted to Chen Hao. She walked over to him. ¡°Chen Hao, you said you wanted to give me a surprise today, right? Hehe, what is it?¡± Yang Min asked ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . softly. Since she felt like Chen Hao wasn¡¯t exactly epted by most of their colleagues, she went to Chen Hao¡¯s side in an attempt to direct their attention away from her. When she approached Chen Hao to chat with him yesterday night, he had said he had a surprise for her. That was why she took the opportunity to talk to Chen Hao. Whereas Wang Kang looked at the scene unfolding in front of him with jealousy burning in his eyes. ¡°You want it now?¡± Chen Hao asked, feeling a little helpless. He clearly knew why Wang Kang and Wang Meina were arguing. ¡°Yeah, haha! You weren¡¯t lying to me, right? Hmph, someone was bragging about how they had concert tickets yesterday!¡± Yang Minxue said jokingly. To be fair, she was clear that Chen Hao was just kidding. But right now, it was better to chat awkwardly with Chen Hao than to face their stares. ¡°Hmph, him? Getting his hands on concert tickets? If he can get a ticket, then I¡¯ll do whatever he asks me to!¡± Wang Kang said angrily. ¡°Yang Minxue, stop caring about him! Come over here and see what I got you!¡± Wang Kang took out his tickets. Chen Hao, however, was enraged when he heard that. He didn¡¯t want to take it out before because he didn¡¯t want to brag about it. But now? Wang Kang, you asked for it! ¡°Assistant Team Leader Wang, you said this yourself! If I have the tickets, then will you really do whatever I tell you to do? There are plenty of people here who can be witnesses!¡± ¡°Hahaha! Game on, you punk. You want to fight me? What if you don¡¯t have the tickets? I can¡¯t be the only one taking part in this bet. If you don¡¯t have the tickets, then you have to walk one round in the ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Hao smiled and took out ten or so tickets from his pocket, choosing one to pass to Yang Minxue. ¡°Damn!¡± Everyone in the office was stunned. ¡°Are they real or fake?!¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be. Chen Hao actually managed to get tickets?¡± ¡°No way! I need to see if they are real!¡± Some girls immediately surrounded Chen Hao. ¡°Damn, this is a center seat! It¡¯s at the end of the T tform. That¡¯s where all the idols go to greet fans! You can actually interact with them up close there!" When the girls saw the tickets, they instantly shouted in surprise. ¡°These tickets are real!¡± Wang Meina was watching from the side, and her whole heart felt like it had been dipped into ice. It felt as if one of your enemies who you had always looked down upon had suddenly be super powerful. It felt very ufortable, like a thorn in your heart. ¡°Chen Hao, tell us, quickly! How did you manage to get so many tickets? There are more than ten here!¡± The crowd of girls asked Chen Hao suspiciously. ¡°You don¡¯t need to care about that. Either way, I have the tickets. Assistant Team Leader Wang, I want to know if you are going to keep your promise?¡± Chen Hao asked, looking at Wang Kang. Wang Kang¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Huh? What did I say before?¡± ¡°Hmph, you were the one who said that if Chen Hao had the tickets, then you would do anything he asks! We all heard you, so don¡¯t even try to deny it!¡± The crowd of girls didn¡¯t care who was the higher- up now. All of them were speaking for Chen Hao instead. ¡°Yeah, Wang Kang! Are you even a man? You don¡¯t even admit to the things you¡¯ve said before, how embarrassing!¡± Wang Meina butted in as well. Everyone was attacking Wang Kang. ¡°Fine, tell me. What do you want me to do?¡± Wang Kang looked at Chen Hao with a warning stare. ¡°What do I want you to do? You wanted me to take my pants off and walk one round in thepany, right? I wouldn¡¯t do that to you, since I¡¯m not that evil!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Hmph! Of course a punk like you wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± Wang Kangughed coldly. ¡°So, take off your pants and walk one round in our marketing department offices instead!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Pfft! Hahaha! Yes, yes! Take them off and walk!¡± The girls cheered. Wang Kang¡¯s face turned purple. He stood there stiffly, not willing to take his pants off. ¡°Huh? Assistant Team Leader Wang, you aren¡¯t goingmando, are you? Is that why you don¡¯t dare to take it off?¡± ¡°Exactly, I bet he doesn¡¯t have underwear on! What a dirty guy! And he even wants to go after Yang Minxue!¡± ¡°Yeah! He doesn¡¯t even live up to his words. Is he even a man?¡± People¡¯s words were dangerous. This onught of insults was unbearable for Wang Kang. ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll take them off! What do you mean, not a man? And who said I didn¡¯t have underwear on? I¡¯ll take it off right now!¡± Wang Kang, in a fit of anger, pulled his pants halfway down his legs. ¡°All of you, look! Am I wearing underwear or not?¡± Wang Kang yelled angrily. ¡°Wang Kang! What are you doing?!¡± Right then and there, an enraged shout came from behind Wang Kang. The group of hollering girls quietly returned to their seats after seeing who it was. ¡°Ch-Chief Zhang!¡± This man so happened to be the chief of their department. ¡°Put your pants back on ande to my office! You¡¯re our assistant team leader, so how can you behave like that? What an embarrassment!¡± Chief Zhang shouted before turning to go back to his office. After Wang Kang put his pants back on, he shot daggers at the snickering Chen Hao before running to the chief¡¯s office bitterly. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± They hadn¡¯t left for long before Wang Meina came in front of Chen Hao, her face red. Chapter 272 Another Problem Arises Chapter 272 Another Problem Arises ¡°Chen Hao, I¡¯m sorry! Please ept my apology!¡± Wang Meina faced Chen Hao, her expression full of regret. Then, she bowed deeply to Chen Hao. This wasn¡¯t just shocking to Chen Hao, but also to the coworkers in the whole marketing department. ¡°I really, really want a ticket. Chen Hao, can you please sell one to me?¡± Wang Meina looked at Chen Hao. Who knew that Wang Meina loved her idol to this extent? If she hadn¡¯t done this, Chen Hao would still have been rather angry at her, so he wouldn¡¯t have given her the time of day. But now, she was actually bowing and apologizing to him. If he didn¡¯t give her a ticket, he would not be able to get over it. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you one. I have plenty here, anyway.¡± Chen Hao gave a ticket to Wang Meina. Wang Meina looked at Chen Hao with immense gratitude, and she nodded heavily before taking it. ¡°Ah! Chen Hao, Chen Hao! I want one too!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, me too!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, since we¡¯re colleagues, can you sell one to me?¡± There were still quite a few fangirls other than Wang Meina in thepany, and they all rushed toward Chen Hao with sparkling eyes at this moment. There were many female colleagues in thepany, and adding up everyone in all four groups, there had to be around thirty. He could give tickets to some of them, but he wouldn¡¯t be able to give everyone a ticket. So Chen Hao just left the remaining tickets on the table. ¡°I don¡¯t need that many anyway. Whoever wants to go, just take one!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Wow!¡± The girls ran over to snatch the tickets. As for Liu Yanan, she was staring at Chen Hao with aplicated expression. Just looking at those tickets, putting aside the matter of how Chen Hao got them, one ticket would already have cost a pretty penny. How much money did all of this cost? Chen Hao seemed very careless about it. Could he have be rich? Liu Yanan was feeling horrible right now. Yesterday, when Wang Kang said he wanted to get Chen Hao off of the name list for the weing party, she had agreed without thinking. Of course she knew that Wang Kang wanted people to boycott Chen Hao, then eventually get rid of him. But today? Everyone had started to stand on Chen Hao¡¯s side. Liu Yanan wanted a ticket for the concert, too. But after thinking about it, she decided against it. She really couldn¡¯t open her mouth to ask for something from someone she had always looked down upon. As for Wang Kang, he had the worst luck today. Other than not getting the girl, he was demoted from an assistant team leader to a regr worker. It was Chief Zhang¡¯s decision, and Wang Kang was also put on probation. Then, it was time for lunch at noon. The third and fourth floor were the cafeteria for workers. All of the pretty girls from the Marketing Department sat together for their meal. A girl asked excitedly, ¡°I say, do you all think Chen Hao is a rich second generation? Like, a covert one who came to experience life in ourpany?¡± She looked at the ticket in her hand. ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡± The girls leaned closer together, enjoying the chance to gossip. Liu Yanan, who was eating, heard them and raised her head. She frowned as she heard them speak. The girl continued, ¡°Just think about it! You all know how much these tickets cost. The most important thing is, Chen Hao managed to get close to twenty tickets even when getting one ticket for thest row was very hard! And he doesn¡¯t even care much about giving them away, which means that Chen Hao must have more than just those tickets! He has to have a really good background, and he surely isn¡¯t as simple as he looks. What do you all think?¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s true. Chen Hao is surely an interesting one, definitely not a poor idiot like how someone described him yesterday at the gathering! Hehe!¡± One of the girls nced at Liu Yanan, whose expression was souring. ¡°Exactly. During the gathering yesterday, half of the meal was just spent telling us about Chen Hao¡¯s embarrassing stories. How regretful that must be!¡± Wang Meina said. It was obvious who they were mocking. Clearly, it was Liu Yanan. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What kind of sh*tty rich second generation heir is he? Who knows how he got these tickets? What¡¯s so good about that, anyway? I¡¯m not eating anymore!¡± Liu Yanan was agitated and threw her cutlery down before leaving in a huff. The girls didn¡¯t care about her. All of them just continued discussing how they would treat Chen Hao better from now on. That was why when the afternoon rolled around, Chen Hao¡¯s desk was filled with milk tea and fruits. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m back!¡± Suddenly, a handsome man walked into the Marketing Department. Once he walked in, he was shouting happily. He even opened his arms, ready to give hugs. However... ¡°Chen Hao, Chen Hao! Tell us how you got these tickets, don¡¯t just keep us in the dark!¡± These girls¡¯ attention were all directed to Chen Hao. No one even cared about the other man. ¡°Huh? Junsheng, you¡¯re back from your business trip!¡± However, one girl stood up excitedly and looked at Wang Junsheng. Of course, it was Liu Yanan. And who was Wang Junsheng? He was the team leader of Group 2, and he had gone for training at Jin Ling City. He had also gone to take a look at the business operations of the Group in town. Just like his name, he was a handsome person. He was only older than Chen Hao by one year. When Liu Yanan first joined thepany, Wang Junsheng was the one who mentored her. Also, Liu Yanan had always had a crush on Wang Junsheng. This was an open secret in thepany. But Wang Junsheng was someone rather aloof and wild, so thest few times Liu Yanan had tried to confess to him, he hadn¡¯t made much of it. But either way, he treated Liu Yanan and his friend, Wang Kang, pretty well. ¡°Yanan, who is this? I¡¯ve never seen him before!¡± Wan Junsheng saw that his thunder had been stolen by someone else, and he immediately looked discouraged. ¡°Hmph! His name is Chen Hao. He¡¯s a ssmate from high school. But, Junsheng, don¡¯t worry! I never pay attention to him, ever!¡± Liu Yanan said. ¡°Chen Hao? As a newbie, he¡¯s not taking his work seriously but chatting with coworkers during working hours. What bad behavior!¡± Wang Junsheng said. He looked at Chen Hao and nodded coldly. When it was almost time for them to get off work, Chen Hao finally got some peace and quiet. m! A mug was put down with a thud on Chen Hao¡¯s desk. ¡°You,ter when the water boils, get me a cup of hot water!¡± This person was of course, Wang Junsheng. ¡°Get you a cup of water? This isn¡¯t in my job description, is it?¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t take the person in front of him seriously, not caring about him much. ¡°You¡¯re just a neer, yet you¡¯re pretty stuck up, huh?¡± Wang Junsheng said coldly. ¡°Chen Hao, Wang Junsheng asked you to go get him water because he¡¯s giving you face, so go and get the water! Stop your nonsense! Do you really think you¡¯re some kind of rich second generation heir?¡± Liu Yanan walked over at this moment. When she saw Chen Hao talking back to Wang Junsheng, she was even angrier than Junsheng was. ¡°Why should I? Give me a reason.¡± Chen Hao sat there, unmoving. ¡°Wang Junsheng is the top in sales for our department! Hehe, you probably didn¡¯t know, right? Sixty percent of the investments made in Ping An County¡¯s projects were only sessful because of Wang Junsheng. Tell me, is that a good enough reason? Also, do you even know what Wang Junsheng¡¯s background is? Hmph, don''t make such a fuss over such a simple order!¡± Liu Yanan looked at Chen Hao contemptuously as she spoke. When she talked about Wang Junsheng, Liu Yanan¡¯s face was full of pride. Wang Meina and the others couldn¡¯t stand how Liu Yanan and Wang Junsheng were bullying Chen Hao. But right as they were about to speak up for him, Wang Junsheng¡¯s phone started to ring. Wang Junsheng picked up the call. ¡°Yes, yes, it¡¯s me¡ªHuh? What did you just say?! How can that be? Exin yourself!¡± Wang Junsheng suddenly roared, and in the next second, his face was white... Chapter 273 A Meal Treated by Liu Yanan Chapter 273 A Meal Treated by Liu Yanan ¡°Junsheng, what happened?¡± Liu Yanan asked anxiously. ¡°Something bad!¡± Wang Junsheng answered with a pale face, then rushed down hastily. Immediately, Liu Yanan ran after him. When she reached downstairs, she waited for Wang Junsheng to finish his call before approaching him and asked, ¡°Junsheng, what happened? You¡¯re frightening me!¡± Not only was Wang Junsheng handsome, he also had a house in Jin Ling City. On top of that, his parents worked in public institutions. All in all, his family was of high social status. Compared to the others in thepany, Wang Junsheng was undeniably better. This was also one of the reasons why Liu Yanan liked Wang Junsheng. In the future, if they got married, she could move to Jin Ling City. Herpany might even transfer her to Jin Ling City. Ever since she was young, Liu Yanan had prioritized and sought fame and fortune because her father was a headmaster in a junior high school. The most obvious proof was, all the boys she had ever liked were from wealthy and powerful families. ¡°It¡¯s bad, Yanan! Do you remember thepany that Deputy Minister Yang and I manage? Something went wrong this time!¡± Liu Yanan knew thatpany. Wang Junsheng and Deputy Minister Yang were instructed by another higher-up from the Group to manage thatpany. After all, Dreamer Investment Group was now envied by everyone as it was handling arge investment. Since it involved money, some people with the same scheme conspired to make something out of it. They made some underhand operations and reported it to the headquarter, and the headquarter granted them money. By now, thispany had received more than 50 million in funding. Only the confidants of Wang Junshen, such as Liu Yanan and Wang Kang, knew this matter. And to be frank, the headquarter had reviewed and approved the funds. Moreover, the Group had so manypanies under their portfolio that it was improbable that thispany would be exposed. Most importantly, thispany had heavy security measures¡ªit was attached to another local enterprise. There was no way it would go wrong. ¡°I don¡¯t know what has gotten into the executives of the headquarter! They are conducting a spot check and it¡¯s just in bad luck that thispany was chosen to be checked. The people from thepany even told me that headquarters seems to know that something fishy is going on because they went straight for an audit. Now, we¡¯re in trouble because the ounts do not tally, and the executives strongly suspect that there might be some underhand operations!¡¯ Wang Junsheng was even more anxious now. This was a serious offence that couldnd him in jail. ¡°That¡¯s strange. Thispany is small and does not invest heavily. You even attached it with another ¡°I¡¯m not sure either, but the executives are investigating Deputy Minister Yang and that higher-up right now. I can foresee that I will be next. What should I do? What should I do? If the Group reports me to the police, I will certainly be jailed!¡± Liu Yanan was also extremely panicked when she saw Wang Junsheng panic. She then patted her head and suggested, ¡°I have an idea. Junsheng, why don¡¯t you use a scapegoat? Won¡¯t you be fine in this case?¡± ¡°Damn. But who should it be? This matter is serious!¡± ¡°I have an idea!¡± Liu Yanan gave acent snort and snapped her fingers. Meanwhile, Chen Hao was organising data and information in the office. Fang Fei stared at Chen Hao, thenughed and teased, ¡°Chen Hao, you are so hardworking. You haven¡¯t even finished going through thispany¡¯s data, but you are already checking another Chen Haoughed and replied, ¡°This way, I can have a detailed understanding. Besides, I have gained a lot of insights!¡± Indeed, thatpany was exposed because Liu Yanan had overpraised Wang Junsheng. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Moreover, he heard that Wang Kang was a close friend of Wang Junsheng. Therefore, Chen Hao specifically investigated the projects that they had submitted, and found out that it was indeed fishy. It aroused his suspicion because thepany Wang Junsheng submitted was one of Li Wenyang¡¯s father¡¯s subsidiarypanies. Of course, this alone wasn¡¯t a big deal. After all, most bigpanies would have subsidiarypanies. However, Chen Hao understood Li Wenyang¡¯s family background, so he found it odd that they had opened apany that ran apletely different business with their ownpany. This caused Chen Hao to investigate it in detail. As expected, he found something unusual. He then sent a message to Li Zhenguo to seek his help in checking this matter. ¡°Quick, tell me what insights you have gained!¡± Fang Fei smiled. She felt that Chen Hao was overemphasizing this matter. After all, wasn¡¯t he just organizing data? ¡°You won¡¯t understand. I can only say that it¡¯s really eye-opening!¡± Chen Hao gave a heartyugh while answering. While they were speaking, Liu Yanan called suddenly. Chen Hao was surprised to receive her call. ¡°Chen Hao, are you free after work tonight?¡± ¡°Why? Do you need something?¡± Chen Hao asked indifferently. Although Chen Hao was cordial and friendly to Liu Yanan initially, her constant cold shoulder drained his warmth toward her after that. ¡°Yes, I would like to treat you to a meal. You¡¯ve joined thepany for two days now and I haven¡¯t got the chance to treat you to a nice meal. So, are you free to have dinner tonight?¡± Liu Yanan asked with a smile. ¡°Who will be going?¡± Chen Hao inquired. He sensed that Liu Yanan must have some objectives. Although he was not sure what was happening, Chen Hao knew that Liu Yanan was close to Wang Junsheng. So, he thought that he could find out more through her. ¡°Only me, of course. Who else are you expecting?¡± Liu Yanan replied begrudgingly. She then fixed the time and venue for dinner with Chen Hao before hanging up the phone. After that, Liu Yanan did not return to the office for work. When Chen Hao got off work, he went straight to the venue. The ce was not far. It was a pub beside the office. When he reached a small room in the pub, he saw Liu Yanan, and she was indeed alone. ¡°You¡¯re here, Chen Hao. Quick, have a seat! What do you think? Isn¡¯t this pub nice?¡± Liu Yanan greeted Chen Hao cordially while opening a bottle of red wine. She poured some for Chen Hao. ¡°Not bad. Why are you making it so formal? I¡¯m fine with a simple meal,¡± Chen Hao replied with a faint smile. ¡°There¡¯s no way I would treat you to a simple meal. Do you know, Chen Hao? I wanted to talk to you in the office these two days and have a nice chat, but the office is not a convenient ce. So, this is a great opportunity for us to have a good time and rekindle our past rtionship, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Liu Yanan said as she leaned nearer toward Chen Hao. Her arms slightly touched Chen Hao¡¯s arm. She even grazed her chest softly against Chen Hao when she served him the dishes, causing Chen Hao to feel perplexed. He was trying to make out what she was nning, but he remained calm on the outside and continued with the conversation. However, Chen Hao noticed that Liu Yanan was unusually flirty. She even tried to get an answer from Chen Hao about how he bought those entrance tickets. Even so, he knew that this was not her main objective. As time went by, both of them drank several sses of wine while they chatted. Chen Hao¡¯s face was flushed and he felt slightly tipsy. ¡°Yanan, I think we should stop drinking. Otherwise, we¡¯ll be drunk!¡± Chen Hao shook his head as he said. ¡°We shall stop drinking then. Let¡¯s go home. Can you fetch me back?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± After that, Liu Yanan paid the bill and Chen Hao apanied her to her house. ording to Chen Hao¡¯s n, he was supposed to sound her out first. However, she had been dodging his questions, so he failed to get anything out of her. After they reached Liu Yanan¡¯s house, Chen Hao was about to leave. ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t leave!¡± Suddenly, Liu Yanan grabbed Chen Hao¡¯s arm¡­ Chapter 274 Scapegoat Chapter 274 Scapegoat Liu Yanan grabbed Chen Hao¡¯s arm while gazing at him in a stupor. Her gaze was indeed alluring. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Liu Yanan, are you okay?¡± Chen Hao was surprised. ¡°I am not okay. I hope you can apany me for a while. Please?¡± Liu Yanan said while leaning her entire body toward Chen Hao, pushing him onto the sofa. At the same time, she tore a side of her slip dress and let it slide down her body. Gulp. Chen Hao swallowed in nervousness. Honestly speaking, Liu Yanan was beautiful, fair and had a sexy body. Her actions now had roused Chen Hao¡¯s lust. His throat was dry, but Liu Yanan was still continuing to strip her clothes off, and her upper body was almost bare now. Suddenly, the door was kicked open by someone. At the same time, Liu Yanany herself sideways on the bed while covering herself with clothes, shouting frantically. ¡°F*ck, record everything, all of it!¡± Two people had arrived. One of them was Wang Kang, who was holding a camera. The other person was Wang Junsheng. ¡°Help me, Junsheng. Quick, help me!¡± Liu Yanan shouted in tears. ¡°Don¡¯t be scared, Yanan. We¡¯re here now. This beast can¡¯t do anything! I can¡¯t believe it. Chen Hao looks very honest but I didn¡¯t think that he could be such a beast! He even schemed against his old ssmate!¡± ¡°Me neither! I was just treating Chen Hao to a meal today. When he finished the meal, he suggested sending me home. In the end, he¡­ he did this to me. Thank god both of you came just in time!¡± Liu Yanan wailed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We have it all recorded and we will report him to the police straight away!¡± Wang Kang sneered as he said. He was sure that Chen Hao would be done for this time. As for Chen Hao, he had only juste to his senses and realized that he was set up by these people. Actually, he was already aware that something was strange when Liu Yanan pounded onto him, half- naked. Liu Yanan had been acting unusually enthusiastic today, to the extent of frightening him. Even so, Chen Hao had never expected Liu Yanan to pull such a trick on her old ssmate. Setting him up? Liu Yanan, I¡¯ve known you for seven or eight years. ¡°Chen Hao, what should you do now?¡± Wang Junsheng asked coldly at this moment. ¡°What should I do? Shouldn¡¯t you tell me that? What are you nning to make me do?¡± Chen Hao replied with a faint smile. ¡°Damn, you are unexpectedly straightforward!¡± Wang Kang sneered again. ¡°Simple. I just need you to sign a Modification Agreement. You¡¯ll get apany for free, which you own legally. That¡¯s all!¡± After that, Wang Junsheng took out a contract. When Chen Hao read the name of thepany on the contract, he immediately understood the cause for this whole incident. It was that suspiciouspany which he had asked Li Zhenguo to investigate. It seemed that his supposition was right. Wang Junsheng was indeed doing something illegal and Li Wenyang¡¯s family enterprise was involved as well. Their game must be up, so they were desperate to pass the buck. Especially because this was an offense that could get someone sentenced to jail. Once he signed this contract, he would be the parasite of thepany, and he would also be arrested by the police by the time Li Zhenguo exposed their operations. They were just looking for a scapegoat! Chen Hao smiled slightly as he thought. Even in their wildest dream, they would never have expected that the Group was actually his. At this moment, he looked at Liu Yanan with a smile worth pondering. ¡°Yanan, we were close friends in junior high and we were ssmates in senior high. Why are you doing this? Why have you be this way?¡± ¡°Stop ying the friend card with me. B*stard, I¡¯ve let you molested me for nothing tonight. Besides, weren¡¯t you pretty smug when you gave out the concert tickets today? Why didn¡¯t you think of our friendship then and gave me one?¡± ¡°The most exasperating thing is, don¡¯t you have any self-awareness? Did you really think that I liked you by the way I acted today? Did you think that I truly wanted to have s*x with you? You must be dreaming!¡± Since the camera was not recording now, Liu Yanan did not have any scruple, especially toward Chen Hao. She understood Chen Hao very well and knew that he was just a poor loser with no money and background. Therefore, Liu Yanan did not have any stress or worry when executing this n. She had nothing to be afraid of. ¡°Alright, I understand. It seems that I am indeed overthinking!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Although I don¡¯t believe it, I am still willing to think that you treated me to a meal because we were friends in the past. In that case, we will still be friends in the future and I will help you whenever you need me, regardless of what the matter is!¡± Chen Hao said. From the beginning when Liu Yanan called Chen Hao, he knew she had an ulterior motive. But when they reminisced about their past friendship during the meal, he still felt warm and sweet. That was why he agreed to bring Liu Yanan home. He had even decided that if Liu Yanan really met with a problem, he would help her although they were not as close as they were in the past. However, Chen Hao hadpletely given up on her now. After all, she had set him up. ¡°Help me? You? You don¡¯t have the right to help me! Quick, sign this now. Don¡¯tin that I didn¡¯t take care of you. Look, I¡¯m even giving you apany!¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine with signing this, but I can only do it tomorrow. Today is a definite no because I didn¡¯t bring my identity card and I can¡¯t remember my identity number!¡± Chen Hao made up an excuse. ¡°Damn it! You can¡¯t even remember your identity number?¡± Wang Junsheng rebuked. However, he felt that Chen Hao could not get away this time since he had recorded everything, so he agreed to postpone the signing to the next day. ¡°Fine. You can sign this contract when you get to thepany tomorrow. Moreover, you must not tell anyone about this. If you tell a single soul about this, I will report you to the police immediately! You will surely be charged as an attempted rapist!¡± Wang Junsheng threatened him. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll sign it tomorrow!¡± Chen Hao replied. After that, they let Chen Hao go. When Chen Hao got downstairs, he called Li Zhenguo immediately and told him about the incident in detail. To be honest, he was rather disappointed and felt pity for Liu Yanan. He could find out the whole n of wrongdoers just by catching one wrongdoer in this matter. However, he did not expect that his old ssmate was greatly involved. The next day, Wang Junsheng and Liu Yanan walked over shortly after Chen Hao reached the ¡°Chen Hao, follow us to the office now!¡± Wang Junsheng gave a meaningful nce at Chen Hao as a reminder to bring his identity card. ¡°Oh, alright!¡± When Chen Hao followed them to the office, Wang Kang was already waiting inside. This office was a printing room and there was no one here usually. ¡°Sign this now. After that, we need to go through other procedures. Do it fast!¡± Wang Junsheng took out the contract and pressured Chen Hao. However, Chen Hao sat on the chair and crossed his legs, not showing any intention to sign it. ¡°F*ck! What are you waiting for? Sign it now!¡± Wang Junsheng warned him. Chen Hao looked at his watch and said, ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a while. I¡¯ll sign it when everyone arrives. Then, you don¡¯t need to waste your time to look for the people involved when you go through the procedures.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Chapter 275 Young Master Chen Has Arrived in the Company Chapter 275 Young Master Chen Has Arrived in the Company ¡°Just wait and see!¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. Currently, there were many cars parked in front of this group¡¯s office building. There was Li Wenyang¡¯s father, Li Dahai, the current deputy minister, Yang Dong, as well as the other assistant managers of the investmentpany, Li Nian and the rest. They all got out of an RV in a well-behaved manner. Of course, Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing had also arrived. Currently, both of their faces were showing a hint of dissatisfaction. If Young Master Chen had not messaged them yesterday and told them about the problems in the Their profits had been swallowed up by these few people, including some other people in different departments. After Li Zhenguo received Chen Hao¡¯s phone call yesterday, he immediately summoned all of the perpetrators and interrogated them for the whole night. Today, he obeyed Young Master Chen¡¯smand and brought them all to thepany. In front of thepany doors, two people were waiting. It was a man and a woman. ¡°Li Wenyang, why did you ask me toe here? How am I even supposed to know where your father is? I don¡¯t even know what¡¯s going on in thepany!¡± The woman said, annoyed. ¡°Jiang Xueqing, don¡¯t be that way. Just help me out here, I¡ªDamn, isn¡¯t that my dad? He¡¯s here!¡± The man was obviously Li Wenyang.N?velDrama.Org content. After his father had been taken away by those people, he hadn¡¯t returned for the whole night. This morning, Li Wenyang had been pestered by his mother to go to thepany and ask around. But even then, he couldn¡¯t find any clues. After hearing that Jiang Xueqing had gone to thepany¡¯s headquarters a few times, he decided to call her and asked her to apany him in his search. Right as they were discussing, he finally caught a glimpse of his dad. ¡°Dad, what happened?¡± After running over, he saw how regretful his father looked and asked in concern. ¡°Son, go home first. It¡¯s none of your business here. Young Master Chen wants to see us, so you should head back now,¡± Li Dahai said with a face full of pain. ¡°Huh? Young Master Chen? He¡¯s here in Ping An County?¡± Once they heard Li Dahai¡¯s words, both Li Wenyang and Jiang Xueqing were taken aback. ¡°Yes.¡± Li Dahai nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t make Young Master Chen wait too long for all of you,¡± Li Zhenguo said mildly. ¡°Yes, President Li.¡± The group of people responded with pale faces. After that, they went upstairs. ¡°Something must have happened to my dad. I¡¯ve never seen him like this! I must follow him and check up on him!¡± Li Wenyang said. As for Jiang Xueqing, she hadn¡¯t wanted to give any more attention to Li Wenyang after what happened when Xu Xin¡¯s mother treated them to a meal. But now, she wanted to catch a glimpse of what Young Master Chen looked like above everything else. That was why she agreed to go upstairs with Li Wenyang. In the Marketing Department, everyone was already in an uproar. Almost all of the workers were standing up, watching as their corridors filled with people walking back and forth. The corridor was filled with all of the higher-ups in thepany, including all of the executives. No one knew what had happened. No one dared to ask either. They all just stared in surprise. Just then, the elevator doors opened. Li Zhenguo and the rest stepped out of the elevator with some people, then led them to the printing room. ¡°Look, look! That¡¯s the president of thepany, Li Zhenguo! He¡¯s the second-inmand! And that¡¯s Zhao Zixing next to him, also the second-inmand of thepany. They¡¯re all here!¡± ¡°Yeah! Isn¡¯t that Deputy Minister Yang and Assistant Manager Li behind them? What¡¯s going on? That looks like Li Dahai from Furniture City!¡± ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s something wrong with thepany? There are so many executives, and even President Li is here!¡± ¡°Something must have happened! We just don¡¯t know what it is!¡± The crowd discussed among themselves fervently. Wang Meina drank her tea as she stood by the side, watching. Right then, she saw a familiar face emerging from the elevator. She quickly waved her hand and said softly, ¡°Jiang Xueqing! Over here!¡± ¡°Wang Meina!¡± Jiang Xueqing walked over with Li Wenyang in tow. ¡°Why are you guys here? Did you catch wind of what happened? And who¡¯s this? Jiang Xueqing, is this your boyfriend?¡± Wang Meina smiled after seeing Li Wenyang behind Jiang Xueqing. ¡°He¡¯s not my boyfriend. As for what happened here, I was just nning to ask you about it! All of the executives from thepany headquarters are here. Who knows what they¡¯re here for?¡± ¡°Sigh, we can only wait and see!¡± Wang Meina shook her head as she didn¡¯t know either. Knock! Knock! What about Chen Hao? At this moment, a bunch of knocks sounded from outside his door. Chen Hao yelled for them toe in as he sat with his legs crossed. The door opened, and Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing brought Li Dahai and the others into the room. ¡°Huh? What?¡± Wang Junsheng was shocked. The people in front of him were not just anyone. They were people who were directly involved in the matter. Even Li Dahai had been called over. As for the people in charge of dealing with them¡­ weren¡¯t they President Li and General Manager Zhao? ¡°W-What¡­¡± Wang Junsheng, Wang Kang, and Liu Yanan were lost for words. ¡°General Manager Zhao, President Li!¡± They quickly greeted the two of them. ¡°Young Master Chen, we¡¯ve brought everyone involved,¡± Li Zhenguo came forward and said in a low tone. ¡°Young Master Chen?¡± ¡°Damn, he¡¯s Young Master Chen?¡± Right at that moment, everyone was frozen in shock. Among them, Wang Junsheng and Liu Yanan were the most stupefied. ¡°Y-Young Master Chen?¡± Liu Yanan started to feel like she couldn¡¯t catch her breath. ¡°Ah, since everyone is here now, then can Team Leader Wang please tell me how I¡¯m supposed to sign this contract?¡± Chen Hao smiled lightly. ¡°I...¡± Wang Junsheng gulped. His mind was currently as nk as a piece of paper. He had everything nned for today, but never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that the one he had been scheming against was Young Master Chen himself. Things might have been fine if he hadn¡¯t schemed, but he was dead this time. F*ck, who could have expected that this person was Young Master Chen? Wang Junsheng looked at Liu Yanan, dumbfounded. But how could Liu Yanan even bother paying attention to Wang Junsheng now? She asked in shock, ¡°President Li, what did you just call him? Did you call Chen Hao ¡®Young Master Chen?¡± ¡°Hmph, nonsense! Step aside!¡± Li Zhenguo ordered. ¡°Young Master Chen, what do we do now? This printing room is a bit too small for our meeting!¡± Zhao Zixing said. ¡°You¡¯re right, it is a bit too small. Bring everyone to the meeting room instead and properly investigate what¡¯s going on!¡± Chen Hao said. Li Zhenguo brought all of them to the meeting room as he was told to. Even as they walked out of the door, Liu Yanan was still staring at Chen Hao with aplicated gaze, obviously in disbelief. However, Chen Hao was no longer looking at her. He got up and walked out as well. ¡°They¡¯reing out!¡± The people outside immediately quietened down. When they saw Chen Hao walking out after everybody else, Wang Meina and the others got a shock. ¡°Chen Hao,e here!¡± Wang Meina gestured for Chen Hao toe over. After the ticket incident, Wang Meina was on decent terms with Chen Hao. Chen Hao came over. What he didn¡¯t expect was for both Jiang Xueqing and Li Wenyang to be here in thepany. ¡°Chen Hao? Why are you here?¡± Jiang Xueqing said in surprise. ¡°You two know each other? Chen Hao is my colleague! He just started working here,¡± Wang Meina said with a smile. ¡°Chen Hao, so you¡¯re working here now!¡± Apart from feeling pleasantly surprised that Chen Hao here, Jiang Xueqing was also feeling a hint of a different emotion. As for Li Wenyang, hatred was written all over his face. ¡°Hmph. Wang Meina, you should let Chen Hao take care of you more from now on. He was our high school ssmate and he¡¯s pretty talented!¡± Li Wenyang said sarcastically. ¡°I see, so you were ssmates. Not bad. Chen Hao is definitely talented, haha!¡± ¡°Chen Hao, tell us! What¡¯s going on? What happened to Wang Junsheng and the others?¡± A crowd of girls rushed toward Chen Hao. ¡°Also, Jiang Xueqing said that Young Master Chen would be here today, but we haven¡¯t seen him. Which one of them is Young Master Chen?¡± Wang Meina asked. The crowd was rife in confusion. ¡°Young Master Chen, everyone is in the meeting room. Will you be heading over now?¡± Just then, Li Zhenguo¡¯s voice sounded from right behind Chen Hao... Chapter 276 The Demolition of the Old House Chapter 276 The Demolition of the Old House ¡°Young Master Chen?¡± Jiang Xueqing and Li Wenyang were stunned. Everyone in the Marketing Department was taken aback. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go over right now!¡± Chen Hao answered. ¡°Chen Hao, y-you¡¯re Young Master Chen?¡± Jiang Xueqing asked in surprise. Xu Xin¡¯s mother had joked about it when she treated Jiang Xueqing and the others to a meal. She had said that Chen Hao might be Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen. At the time, Jiang Xueqing had gotten a shock, too. She had thought about it. She was so familiar with Chen Hao. How could he possibly be Young Master Chen, currently one of the richest young masters to their understanding? But right now, after hearing President Li call out this name, Jiang Xueqing¡¯s mind went nk. Oh my god, Chen Hao was the Young Master Chen? ¡°Yup!¡± Chen Hao nodded at Jiang Xueqing with a faint smile. After that, he left under the startled gaze of the workers. As for Li Wenyang, he had originally been brought in by Jiang Xueqing to look for his father. But now, his eyes were empty as he copsed onto a seat nearby. ¡°Damn, Chen Hao really is a rich second generation heir! He¡¯s also our Chairman! No wonder he had so many concert tickets. I told you guys, he¡¯s not just an average man! But still, I never expected him to be our Chairman!¡± After Chen Hao left, everyone in the Marketing Department started to go wild. Luckily we didn¡¯t offend our Chairman! Some girls thought in fear. In general, the atmosphere was now extremely strange. Everyone was utterly bbergasted. As for Wang Junsheng and the others, it wasn¡¯t hard to settle this issue. They didn¡¯t just confess to the things they did, but had also exposed a few other people from other departments that hadn¡¯t been discovered. Most of the culprits were people from Ping An County of Jin Ling City. That was easy to settle, too. All of them were just handed straight to the police to be dealt with. Liu Yanan had looked at Chen Hao with aplicated expression many times as they were being taken away, and she looked like she wanted to ask him for help. But Chen Hao had paid zero attention to her. He had already given her a chance. Since you used our rtionship to set me up, then don¡¯t me me for not standing up for you now. This incident was finally over. ¡°Young Master Chen, there¡¯s only four more days left until your birthday. How do you want to spend it? Miss Chen Xiao also called me, saying that since it¡¯s your first birthday after leaving the poor life, we must have a proper celebration for you!¡± Li Zhenguo said once they reached downstairs. ¡°How else can I spend it? Uncle and Aunt Wu have always celebrated it with me, and things won¡¯t be different this year. I still want to spend it at home, but this time, you all should join as well. There will be about twenty of us, and it¡¯s already the biggest crowd I¡¯ve ever had for a birthday celebration, hehe!¡± Chen Haoughed. Chen Hao didn¡¯t have many true friends apart from Li Xiao, who had been his close friend ever since they were young. He didn¡¯t have any money or power, so who would want to hang around a poor loser like himself? That was why Chen Hao didn¡¯t invite many people for this birthday party. Apart from Li Zhenguo, Zhao Zixing, Bai Xiaofei and Ling Yiyi, he also invited Li Xiao and Su Ting. Gathering these people who usually hung out together was a pretty good idea. Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to spread the word around too much. After that, Chen Hao kept his things and prepared to return to town. As for Zhao Zixing, he was looking rather uneasy. Li Zhenguo had noticed it early on, but he only asked now, ¡°Zhao Zixing, did you have something that you didn¡¯t tell Young Master Chen?¡± Zhao Zixing scratched his head anxiously. ¡°I told everyone about Young Master Chen¡¯s birthday being four days from now! But Young Master Chen just said he wanted to celebrate it subtly!¡± ¡°What?! You told everyone about it?¡± Li Zhenguo said, his face full of shock... At five in the evening, Chen Hao gged down a taxi to send him back to the small town. Chen Hao could definitely return now in an extravagant manner. Even if he wanted to arrange for a procession to send him home, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem. However, Uncle Wu¡¯s family did not know about Chen Hao being Young Master Chen. If he went back that way, first of all, it would be too grand of an affair, and Chen Hao did not like feeling like he was showing off. Secondly, he would have to exin to Uncle Wu and the rest of the family about everything, including the money he used to pay for Uncle Wu¡¯s hospital bill as well as his own true identity, even though he had nothing left to hide from the two elders. That was why it was better for him to return to his old home in a more subtle manner. On the way, he saw that the roads were all being paved. Chen Hao was clear that even his own little town was about to start undergoing developments. ¡°Young man, do you live in this town?¡± The driver asked with a smile. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to enjoy striking up conversations. Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Congrattions, young man! Your whole town is about to start undergoing some serious developments, and almost everyone will have opportunities now. They aren¡¯t just distributing houses, but are also supplying the people with demolition fees. They have also created many jobs! You look like a college student, so you¡¯re going to have plenty of chances to develop your career here in the future!¡± ¡°Yeah, that sounds pretty good!¡± As they chatted along the way, they arrived at Chen Hao¡¯s house in no time. They called it a town, but actually, Chen Hao¡¯s old home was in a small vige within the town. It was considered a town vige. In the vige, there were many families who owned mills and made a living selling tofu skin and tofu. Before, whenever he returned to the vige, the most attractive thing about it was how the air was filled with the fragrance of soybeans. However, when he returned to the vige this time, the fragrance he was looking forward to had reduced by a significant amount. ¡°Wow, the university student has returned!¡± ¡°Why haven¡¯t you brought a girlfriend back home?¡± ¡°Chen Hao, have you gotten a job? A university student like you should be able to find a good job, right?¡± The moment he stepped into the vige, a bunch of vigers came forward and started bombarding him with questions. ¡°Not yet!¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. ¡°Hmph, I think it¡¯s useless for him to have gone to university! He can¡¯t even measure up to those that dropped out of school to work starting from a young age!¡± Some women said contemptuously. People should be more careful of what they say. Chen Hao didn¡¯t hang around to talk. After a turn, he reached his house. He took out his key to open the door, but realized that the locks had been changed and he could no longer open the door. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Chen Hao said unhappily. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s you, Chen Hao! You¡¯re back!¡± At that moment, a woman walked out of Uncle Wu¡¯s house, which was next to Chen Hao¡¯s. She was Uncle Wu¡¯s second daughter-inw, Sun Hongxia. She was chewing on sunflower seeds as she walked toward Chen Hao. ¡°Aunty, who changed the locks of my house?¡± Chen Hao asked with a bitter smile. He had met Sun Hongxia before, and he had greeted her when they were at the hospital. She was a gold-digger. She would only take advantage of others, and she was not willing to suffer on anyone¡¯s terms. ¡°Ah, I was the one who changed them. Why?¡± Sun Hongxia said. ¡°Then what about my house keys?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Hehe, what do you mean by ¡®your house¡¯? Chen Hao, do you know who this house belongs to? Hmph! I know exactly what you came back to do. You heard that our houses were being demolished and you wanted toe back to im some of that money, right? I¡¯m telling you, forget it! This house is mine! It¡¯s written clearly on the deed!¡± Sun Hongxia said with apletely different attitude. Of course Chen Hao knew what she was talking about. He had heard his father talk about it before. At first, when his parents moved to this vige, Uncle Wu owned two houses. One was their own house, and the other was this one. Then, his parents had bought one of the houses with their own money. To be honest, twenty years ago, there was no such thing as a proper deed. At the time, they had just signed a simple contract. What was more, it was signed when his father and Uncle Wu were having drinks. After so many years, he had no idea where his father had put the contract. At that time, no one had imagined that anyone from Uncle Wu¡¯s family would try to snatch the house back forcefully. That was the thing. Sun Hongxia had also heard about the demolition of their houses. That was why she wanted to have this house for her own, so that she could receive the demolition fees of almost a couple hundred thousand. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re back! Don¡¯t listen to your aunt¡¯s nonsense. This house belongs to your family, and N?velDrama.Org content. no one can take it from you!¡± Right at that moment, Uncle Wu heard themotion and walked out... Chapter 277 Conflict Chapter 277 Conflict ¡°What do you mean ¡®it¡¯s theirs¡¯? I¡¯m warning you, I have consulted awyer. If it reallyes down to a frantically. Looks like this argument has been going on for quite some time now, Chen Hao thought. No wonder Uncle Wu was in a bad mood when he called him. It turned out he was in the middle of an argument. Haha. Even if the property ownership certificate was Chen Hao¡¯s, he wouldn¡¯t fight them for it. ¡°Besides, didn¡¯t Chen Hao win the lottery? Why would he care so much about this property? Furthermore, I have lost the keys to the house!¡± Sun Hongxia added. ¡°Hmph!¡± Uncle Wu snorted and picked up a big rock. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Sun Hongxia backed up in fear and started sprinting. Uncle Wu came up to the door and smashed the lock with the rock. In an instant, the lock cracked open. Then, he took a new lock out from his pocket. ¡°Use this one, Chen Hao. See if the three of them would dare to lock up your house again! Alright, go tidy up ande over to eatter. Your aunt is cooking for you!¡± said Uncle Wu. ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Hao took the lock and chuckled inwardly. It turned out that not one, but all of the daughter-inws had tried locking up this house before. With that thought, Chen Hao couldn''t help butugh bitterly inside. Sun Hongxia''s face was flushed as she ran back to make a phone call. Meanwhile, Chen Hao tidied up his ce and went over to Uncle Wu¡¯s house. As soon he stepped out of the door, he saw there were several new cars parked in front of Uncle Wu¡¯s house. The most expensive one was a ck Passat. The cars were all brand new. It seemed like all three brothers came today. There had been lots of gatherings like this in the previous years. But obviously, this year was different. When Chen Hao entered the house, the noise of knocking on the table was so loud that it could be heard from outside. ¡°Why? This is our house, why do we need to give it to them?¡± ¡°Yeah, mom. I¡¯ve heard that there are several houses that are being demolished and thepensation is at least a few hundred thousand per family! Now with the roads being repaired, this big mountain might even be developed into a tourist attraction as well as a ce of various entertainment. The house could be worth a lot in the future!¡± said Wu Feng. ¡°He¡¯s right, mom. I have a friend in town who is investing in tourism. Her house was demolished too and she would at least have two properties after that!¡± Wu Qian chimed in as well. ¡°The Chen family has really taken advantage of us big time. Moreover, Chen Hao won a few hundred thousand from the lottery. If anything, when we''re splitting property in the future, we can just give him a small house but we have to take back that property!¡± The eldest son knocked on the table and announced, ¡°Wait until tomorrow. I will find some personal connections and take back the house!¡± ¡°Why are you in charge of finding connections? I have my own!¡± ¡°Yeah, I have my own too. If you take it back, wouldn¡¯t it be under your name?¡± The whole family fell into dispute over the house. At that moment, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and walked in. ¡°Stop it everyone. If you want the house so much, I¡¯ll give it to you!¡± Chen Hao eximed. ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t interfere and stop bbering nonsense like ¡®giving it away¡¯! This is your house!¡± Uncle Wu scolded coldly. Meanwhile, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. ¡°Hmph, if Chen Hao agrees, then you shouldn¡¯t worry about it!¡± said Luo Ning, the first daughter-inw. On the other hand, Wu Qian, Wu Feng and the others red at Chen Hao coldly. Reason being that Chen Hao had unknowingly embarrassed them in the hospital thest time. This infuriated the siblings greatly since then. ¡°Alright. Chen Hao had only managed toe back this time. Let¡¯s eat first!¡± The eldest son said after hearing that Chen Hao would give up the house. Only then did the family take their seats. Regarding the house, seeing how Uncle Wu was upset by this and afraid that he would end up in this hospital again, no one mentioned it again. ¡°Chen Hao, you should be interning by now. Have you found a job yet?¡± the third son asked. ¡°Hmph, from the looks of it, it doesn''t seem like he found a good job. It¡¯s quite hard to find a decent job nowadays. If my husband hadn''t used his personal connections, Wu Feng wouldn¡¯t havended a job in an office that provides both insurance and housing funds. How great is that?¡± Zhang Xiqi, the third daughter-inw dered proudly. ¡°Qian¡¯s job was much easier to find. Though his job is tiring for now, the sky will be his limit in the future. It¡¯s not a good thing for Wu Feng to lead an easy life at such a young age!¡± Sun Hongxia, the second daughter-inw refuted. ¡°I''m not looking for a job!¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Well, you have to find a job! How can you depend on the little money you won from the lottery? You would be starving soon. Besides, others will look down on you if you don¡¯t have a decent job,¡± the second daughter-inw said coldly. ¡°Yes, but mom, it¡¯s hard for a person like Chen Hao to find a good job. Anyway, ourpany has an opening for janitors now. Last time Aunt Li who was cleaning the hallway said that they were recruiting and told us to help look for candidates. Though it¡¯s not very respectable, it¡¯s still a job!¡± said Wu Qian. ¡°Qian, you¡¯re right. Chen Hao, if you want to find a job, Qian can send some presents over to that Aunt Li to secure that post for you!¡± said Sun Hongxia. ¡°Yes, that won¡¯t be a problem!¡± Wu Feng smiled and agreed. Not long ago, Wu Feng and Wu Qian were both searching for a job. So when Chen Hao took out a hundred thousand, it was a p in the face for them. But after they had started working, they became more socially experienced. An upstart with some money no longer intimidated them. Just like that, the family chattered away. Chen Hao bowed his head wordlessly and continued eating. It was almost the end of the gathering when he said, ¡°By the way, my birthday is a few days from now. I¡¯m holding a birthday party and my friends will be there. Let¡¯s have a meal together, it will be my treat!¡± Chen Hao graciously invited them. ¡°Ah, Chen Hao. Not that we¡¯re lecturing you or anything but are you serious about holding a birthday party like others with this bit of money? You¡¯re not in the same league as others!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll see then. If we have time, we¡¯lle.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m quite busy now, how would I have time to celebrate your birthday?¡± ¡°Oh right, today our team leader said there will be several major activities soon and the provincial government leaders will be present. We¡¯re in charge of all the ad-hoc works so we certainly won¡¯t have This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. time for it!¡± Wu Feng chimed in. Naturally, Wu Qian had something to do as well. Chen Hao understood very well what they meant¡ªthey didn¡¯t have the energy nor interest to celebrate his birthday. ¡°It''s alright. If you guys are free then, juste over for dinner,¡± said Chen Hao. At this point, no one said anything further. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu said, ¡°Chen Hao, tell your friends toe. We¡¯ll celebrate with you and Aunt Wu will cook!¡± Chen Hao was warmed by their kind words, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let them try out Aunt Wu¡¯s cooking! Let me buy the ingredients!¡± Afterwards, they chatted briefly. As soon as the gathering ended, the three brothers drove back home. Chen Hao was preparing to head back and rest when Uncle Wu called out to him, ¡°Chen Hao, wait a minute. I have something to tell you!¡± Chapter 278 Blind Date, Again? Chapter 278 Blind Date, Again? ¡°Huh? What¡¯s the matter, Uncle Wu?¡± Chen Hao was dragged toward a seat by Uncle Wu. ¡°Of course it''s good news. I wanted to tell you on the phone just now, but I thought that it would be better to tell you in person, and I don¡¯t want your three elder brothers to know about it!¡± ¡°Oh? Please do go on, Uncle Wu!¡± ¡°I knew a friend that used to work as a miner together with me years ago. He had been travelling to ces, and I happened to meet him when I was in town the other day. We had a conversation together, and his granddaughter was almost the same age as you. She¡¯s a coeval with you and Feng! She graduated from university one year earlier than you, and her family was desperately looking for a match for her. Her family is rich and wealthy, hence they do not have much expectations. All they want is a person who is honest and mature! I wanted to introduce her to you. She has a sister, and she¡¯s the eldest! I¡¯m nning to arrange a meeting for both of you tomorrow, hence I wanted to talk to you about this. As for Feng, I wouldn¡¯t tell him about it, and you shouldn¡¯t too!¡± Chen Hao understood Uncle Wu¡¯s thoughts; he knew that he was facing some difficulties in his career, hence he wanted to help him in getting a match, thus he was doing thispletely for his sake. This was exactly what Li Xiao did thest time. However, Chen Hao was now together with Su Tongxin. In addition, he didn¡¯t have a great experience on his previous blind date. He was traumatized by the mother and daughter during his previous blind date, hence he was extremely against this idea! ¡°There¡¯s no need for this, Uncle Wu. Thank you so much, but I¡¯m in a rtionship!¡± Chen Hao smiled and said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? You can continue on with your rtionship. It¡¯s just a meeting, there¡¯s no guarantee that it would turn out well. Just treat it as getting to know another girl!¡± The scene was simr to the one with Li Xiao previously. He had mentioned it so straightforwardly. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t reply to him saying that he was rich and didn¡¯t need help finding a match. It was inappropriate for him to refuse, but he didn¡¯t want to agree either. After all, both Li Xiao and Uncle Wu were sincerely hoping for the best for him, and Chen Hao was affirmative about that. He didn¡¯t want to disappoint Uncle Wu, so Chen Hao nodded and agreed. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll meet her tomorrow!¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Great, I¡¯ll call her now!¡± Uncle Wu went to make a call excitedly and returned joyously not long after. He was excited and happy as he said, ¡°Okay, the girl confirmed that she¡¯s free tomorrow and she¡¯s okay to meet you alone. Here¡¯s her number, call herter to make ns for tomorrow. It¡¯s on you now, please be nice to her! Her name is Wang Min, and her parents are teachers, hence her personality should be good!¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll call her once I get back home!¡± After chatting with Uncle Wu for a little while, Chen Hao returned home. After moments of hesitation, he finally dialed the number. A voice of a girl was heard saying from the other end, ¡°Hello, who are you looking for?¡± ¡°I¡¯m Chen Hao. Am I speaking to Wang Min? Uncle Wu introduced you to me!¡± This was the first time Chen Hao made this type of phone call. He wanted to act outspokenly and naturally, but he was still a little cautious. ¡°Oh, I got it.¡± Wang Min replied briefly and waited for Chen Hao to speak. ¡°Are you busy?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Not really, please go ahead!¡± Chen Hao brought up a topic randomly. ¡°Where were you studying during junior high school? Were you in the No. 1 High School or No. 2 High School? ¡°I was in No. 2 High School. What about you?¡± ¡°I was in No. 1 High School! Are you free tomorrow? There¡¯s a newly operating Dicos in town, should we meet there tomorrow for a chat?¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t know what to say anymore, hence he went straight to the point. ¡°Okay!¡± ¡°Alright, have a good rest!¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Both of them hung up the phone. After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao felt a little guilty; he felt sorry toward Su Tongxin. However, he changed his mind shortly after. He wasn¡¯t serious after all. It was just a meeting, and there was no big deal! On the other side, Wang Min was removing her makeup in her room after hanging up the phone. Her sister, Wang Xiao was lying on the bed eavesdropping. ¡°Hey sis, you¡¯re going to meet him tomorrow! What¡¯s his name again? Do you know him?¡± ¡°His name is Chen Hao, and he studied in No. 1 High School. This name sounds familiar, I think I¡¯ve heard it before somewhere!¡± Wang Min replied while removing her makeup. Both of the sisters had beautiful physical appearances. Wang Xiao replied, ¡°Are you dumb, sis? He¡¯s just one year younger than you, and he¡¯s from the No. 1 High School. Why don¡¯t you ask your juniors in No. 1 High School?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, let me ask them!¡± Wang Min then started making phone calls. She called quite a few of her juniors to get more information. After all the inquiries with her juniors, Wang Min¡¯s face almost became pale. ¡°What the hell! What kind of person had grandpa introduced to me!¡± Wang Min panicked. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s the matter, sis?¡± Wang Min replied, ¡°Did you know that Chen Hao was an infamous poor student in No. 1 High School? His family was extremely poor, and his parents and elder sister migrated to the city for work. Chen Hao was often bullied in school. I heard that he hasn¡¯t found a job after graduating from university! His family was poor, he would definitely not end up with a decent job!¡± ¡°Oh gosh, what should we do? Have you promised to meet him? You wouldn¡¯t be able to argue against grandpa!¡± Her sister added. ¡°I don¡¯t care. I wouldn¡¯t date him even if I wasn¡¯t looking for a match! Oh my God, if my besties know that I¡¯m dating this infamous poor student, they would make me aughing stock!¡± Wang Min was worried. She was a young girl after all, and other people¡¯s opinions mattered to her. Every girl would want amendable boyfriend. The more admirable he was, the more pleased she would feel. However, a person like Chen Hao¡­ Ah, forget it! She needed to talk to her mother immediately, so Wang Min called out for her mother and told her everything about Chen Hao. Her mother seemed to be troubled as she said, ¡°Ah, that wouldn¡¯t work. If you date him, it would mean that my daughter couldn¡¯t get a decent man. That wouldn¡¯t work, let¡¯s just turn him down!¡± Wang Xiao replied, ¡°But mom, you know about grandpa¡¯s temper. He¡¯s sensitive about losing his good image. He would lose his appetite and have sleepless nights if he lost his image in front of his friends. Dad would definitely find faults in you!¡± ¡°Sigh, what should we do? Min Min, why don¡¯t you meet him tomorrow, turn him down and return home immediately after?¡± Her mother suggested. ¡°But I¡¯m afraid that I would bump into my schoolmates!¡± Wang Min replied. Wang Min didn¡¯t think of this previously, but she was taking this into consideration now. What if she was spotted by her schoolmates?¡± ¡°What should we do then? You don¡¯t even want to meet him!¡± Her mother was anxious. ¡°Mum, I have an idea. Let¡¯s send my sister instead. She¡¯s two years younger than him, and she¡¯s more straightforward. It would be easier for her to turn him down!¡± Her mother replied, ¡°That would work. Please help your sister out, Wang Xiao. You¡¯re so talented in your words that even I couldn¡¯t win against you!¡± Wang Xiao replied, ¡°I can do that, but you have to give me more pocket money during my third year in university, sis!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Three of them were chatting andughing as they agreed upon a decision. Wang Xiao mumbled in her heart, ¡°Hmph! Is he trying to punch above his weight? If I couldn¡¯t make him ashamed tomorrow, I¡¯ll change my name! Haha!¡± Chapter 279 The Awkwardness in Dicos Chapter 279 The Awkwardness in Dicos The next day, because of the blind date arranged by Mr. Wu, Chen Hao got himself prepared and arrived at Dicos earlier. Although Chen Hao had no idea how it would turn out, he still went along since he had made a promise with Mr. Wu. However, when he arrived, he saw a girl drinking c on a seat, and there were chicken wings and fries on the table. She was rocking her fair legs, and she seemed to be waiting for someone. Surely that¡¯s not her? Chen Hao mumbled in his heart. Thereafter, he watched as the girl put down the fries and uttered ¡®tsk¡¯ in disapproval while she started texting on her phone. Not long after, Chen Hao received a text message from Wang Min that said, ¡®Are you here yet?¡¯ Chen Hao confirmed that she was the one. She seemed pretty at first nce, so Chen Hao walked toward her and took a seat. ¡°W-What are you doing?¡± The girl was obviously shocked as she looked at Chen Hao dumbfoundedly. ¡°Are you here for the blind date?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°What? Blind date? Are you a psycho?¡± The girl stared at Chen Hao fearfully. ¡°Ah? So you¡¯re not Wang Min? Weren¡¯t you the one who sent me the text message just now?¡± Chen Hao was embarrassed. ¡°I don¡¯t know who¡¯s Wang Min. I was texting my boyfriend just now, okay?¡± The girl replied. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I made a mistake!¡± Chen Hao stood up embarrassedly. Oh gosh, he should have called her before that! As he was about to dial her number, his shoulder was patted by someone. When he turned around, he saw a girl with a simr exquisite appearance. She was blinking herrge eyes and looking at Chen Hao. ¡°Are you Chen Hao? You¡¯re here for the date, is that right?¡± There was a tone of disdain as the girl asked. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. And you¡¯re?¡± ¡°Wang Xiao!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Wang Xiao¡¯s sister, which is me, Wang Min!¡± Wang Xiao quickly exined in an attempt to cover her mistake. ¡°Hmph, did you bump into the wrong person just now?¡± Wang Xiao asked sarcastically. She bumped into the scene while she was walking in just now; that was awkward. Wang Xiao watched the scene from a corner without walking forward to greet him as she felt embarrassed. What a man, she thought. However, she thought that she would be able to turn him down in less than five minutes. Hence, Wang Xiao wanted to hurry up and get this over with as soon as possible. Chen Hao sat opposite Wang Xiao. He casted a few nces at Wang Xiao and thought that the girl had no other strengths besides the fact that she was pretty. Wang Xiao was staring at Chen Hao and judging him with her eyes. She thought that Chen Hao was good-looking and a little handsome. If only he had a wealthier family, he would qualify as her brother-in- Unfortunately, he was poor, and her sister would never like him. As a matter of fact, if it wasn¡¯t because of her grandfather urging her sister to get married, she wouldn¡¯t even care to find a match! Wang Min had many pursuers, but she didn¡¯t like any of them. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about your situation. You haven¡¯t got a job yet, have you? Which means you don¡¯t have any ie! Besides, I heard that you have purchased a house in Ping An County. However, I¡¯ve been transferred to Jin Ling City for work, which means that I¡¯ll need to move to Jin Ling City. What are your ns on the amodation?¡± Wang Xiao asked, thinking that it would be better to go straight to the point. ¡°Oh, I have a house in Jin Ling City!¡± ¡°What? You have a house in Jin Ling City? How big is it?¡± Wang Xiao asked curiously. ¡°I don¡¯t know how big it is since I¡¯ve only stayed there a few times, haha!¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. Chen Hao sensed that this girl wasn¡¯t here for the blind date. In addition, he didn¡¯t want a blind date either. Therefore, he developed an intention to fool her as a way to end this quickly. ¡°Bah! Stop pretending! If you truly had a house there, why don¡¯t you move in?¡± Wang Xiao sneered coldly. ¡°It¡¯s true, I just don¡¯t have the time to move in. Besides, I¡¯m not used to living on top of the hill alone. The house is for me and my future wife!¡± Chen Hao said with a smile. ¡°What the hell, it¡¯s on top of the hills? Are you a forester? Did they provide you with a tiny house there to watch over the forests?¡± Wang Xiao sounded more scornful as she spoke, ¡°Do you have a car? Let me warn you, I don¡¯t want a car less than three hundred thousand once I start my job in Jin Ling City!¡± ¡°I do have a car, but it¡¯s parked at the bottom of the hill!¡± ¡°Bottom of the hill? What car is that?¡± ¡°A Lamborghini!¡± Chen Hao replied. ¡°Bah! What the hell, are you a psycho, Chen Hao?¡± Wang Xiao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. Originally, Wang Xiao thought that Chen Hao might really have a car and a house in Jin Ling City. It turned out that this guy was talking big; he wouldn¡¯t know that her sister knew everything about him, would he? ¡°What I said is true, I didn¡¯t lie to you at all. I can¡¯t do anything if you don¡¯t believe it!¡± Chen Hao shrugged helplessly. This wasn¡¯t counted as a serious blind date after all. If Mr. Wu asked about this in the future, at least he would have some exnations. ¡°Let me be straightforward with you. Our family would never ept a person like you. Originally, we thought that you¡¯re honest even if you¡¯re poor, and we wanted to give you a chance to showcase yourself. However, I think we can forget about it now. You¡¯re trash!¡± Wang Xiao reprimanded, then stood up immediately to leave. However, she recalled that she hade all the way here today, and she even had her makeup on. Yet, before she could even have a sip of drink, she stomped off in anger because of Chen Hao; that wasn¡¯t worth her efforts. Primarily, she needed to deal with this matter appropriately. If her grandfather knew that she stomped off after a few words with him, he would be furious, not to mention that her grandfather didn¡¯t even know that she was here on behalf of her sister. She was afraid that Chen Hao would spill the beans to Mr. Wu after this. Hence, she nned to act in another way so that Chen Hao would retreat on his own. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Chen Hao asked in surprise when he saw that she took her seat again. ¡°Who told you that I¡¯m leaving? I haven¡¯t had a meal since this morning, and I¡¯m starving. Besides, today was our first meet, shouldn¡¯t you be treating me?¡± Wang Xiao retorted as she crossed her arms. ¡°Oh, no problem!¡± Chen Hao was wondering why she was so difficult to deal with. ¡°I want burgers, fries, chicken wings, fried chicken and pizza!¡± Wang Xiao said. ¡°Do you usually eat this much?¡± Chen Hao was shocked. ¡°Just tell me if you¡¯re treating me!¡± ¡°Okay, fine, I¡¯ll treat you!¡± He went to order the food and served it to Wang Xiao, then watched as she ate. Chen Hao was thinking of a n to make her loathe him so that she would leave on her own; that would be easier for him to exin to Uncle Wu. It seemed that both of them had their own thoughts. At this moment, a voice could be heard saying, ¡°Hey, it was you indeed! We thought we saw you from outside just now!¡± Two boys and two girls came in from outside and patted on Wang Xiao who was enjoying the burgers. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Wang Xiao was in shock. ¡°W-Why are you guys here?¡± Wang Xiao stammered and her face blushed. Chapter 280 Enemies are Bound to Meet Chapter 280 Enemies are Bound to Meet ¡°Isn¡¯t this quite the coincidence. Xiao, who might this be?¡± A boy suddenly turned to look at Chen Hao. ¡°Oh, he¡¯s a friend. If you guys have other things to do, just go ahead and eat first!¡± Wang Xiao, who had her real name called out, was extremely anxious. These people were no strangers; they went to the same junior high school, and were even attending the same college. She had been worried about running into people she knew this day, but she ended up running into them anyway. ¡°Don¡¯t mind it Xiao, please do introduce him to us, who is this friend of yours? Also, he even ordered so many nice dishes for you, so it¡¯s only right for us to know!¡± A few of them said excitedly, keen on finding out the truth. ¡°Xiao? Aren¡¯t you called Wang Min?¡± Chen Hao asked, full of doubt. ¡°Wang Min? That¡¯s Xiao¡¯s elder sister. Hmm? What¡¯s going on here? You don¡¯t actually know Wang Xiao, so what are you guys doing here?¡± At this moment, everyone here was bbergasted. ¡°Shut up, Chen Hao!¡± Wang Xiao stood up nervously and pulled those people aside; it seemed like she was exining the situation to them. Meanwhile Chen Hao only realized the truthter. He recalled Uncle Wu had once mentioned that Wang Min has a younger sister, who was two or three years younger than her. Could it be that Wang Xiao was Wang Min¡¯s younger sister? Wang Min didn¡¯t show up for the blind date today, and sent her sister instead? Damn, she wasn¡¯t sincere regarding the blind date at all since she had been asking about those questions about my house and my car right from the start. Wang Xiao returned with those few people shortly after. Wang Xiao¡¯s face darkened as she said, ¡°That¡¯s right Chen Hao, Wang Min is my sister. But do you know why my sister let mee instead? It was in order to scope you out. Ever since my grandfather told my sister, she was rather serious about it, but you really let me down today. You¡¯re really full of it, and everything you said to me earlier, I¡¯ve already told my friends. They¡¯re all sure that you were just bragging and exaggerating! Furthermore, the situation in your household is worse than we thought, right?¡± Wang Xiao said as she pushed the responsibility to Chen Hao. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is, turns out you¡¯re here for a blind date. I say, brother, do you even know how stunning Wang Min is? Did you think you were the only one who likes her?¡± One of the boys spoke out coldly. ¡°Look here, Wang Min was the top beauty during junior high school, and you, you were just a joke back then. You may think it¡¯s fine now, but you keep on relying on your old rtionships and getting the old folks on both sides to mediate for you. But did you even think about it, if Wang Min really did end up with you, how would you even take care of her?¡± One of the girls even said, ¡°Needless to say, the bag I¡¯m carrying with me now is worth at least several thousands, Wang Min deserves even better. How could you afford it?¡± Those girls continued to mock him. ¡°My dear, I prefer the watch you are wearing. You look good by wearing this watch that is worth more than ten thousand!¡± Another girl held another boy¡¯s arm intimately, deliberately showing off the watch on the boy¡¯s wrist. She then looked at Chen Haoter and taunted, ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t you wear a watch whenever you go out? Don¡¯t you know that it is a sign of maturity for boys to wear watches? Even if you can¡¯t afford a good and branded watch, you can always get a cheap one, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, with just this and you still wanted to go on a blind date with Wang Min?¡± It looked like they nned all these out to attack Chen Hao, but all the words they threw at him were of materialistic nature. They were indeed a bunch of brats. Chen Hao had encountered countless of these kinds of people, trying to show off their wealth with these tactics. However, it was still not worth giving a p on their faces. Since everyone didn¡¯t want him to have a rtionship with Wang Min, he should just get away from this situation; it hit the right note with him anyway. But at this moment, those people who were mocking Chen Hao shut their mouths abruptly, looking stunned as they stared outside the shop; there were two RSZ Motorcycles parked outside, and three Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. men and a woman got off the vehicle, it seemed like they also came to Dicos for a meal. ¡°For goodness'' sake, Wang Xiao, look! It¡¯s Xie Li that b*tch!¡± ¡°Damn it, Xie Li has always been picking on you since we were in junior high. It was also a coincidence that both of you got into the same college. You even gave her a p some time ago. Oh no! What will happen if she sees you here!¡± ¡°The tall guy is her boyfriend. He deals in the dark side of society, not a simple figure! Xiao, you should hide quickly!¡± Those people got nervous at the situation. ¡°Humph! Why do I need to hide! Why do I need to be afraid of her? I don¡¯t believe that she has the guts to do anything to me!¡± At this moment, Wang Xiao didn¡¯t bother to deal with Chen Hao, instead, she put on a smug face and crossed her arms on her chest as she watched Xie Li who was walking in. Wang Xiao has a grudge against that girl? It seems like there will be a fightter. What am I still doing here? It will simply be awkward! Chen Hao wanted to leave at that thought. ¡°Bloody hell, enemies are indeed bound to meet. Wang Xiao, I didn¡¯t expect you to be here!¡± Xie Li caught sight of Wang Xiao and subsequently said smugly, ¡°Fei, she is the one! Did you know that she took advantage of a guy who likes her in college, and actually gave me a p when I quarrelled with her!¡± Xie Li immediately tried to tell the whole story. Whilst Wang Xiao was also not some weakling who would give in. Her eyes zed with hate once she saw Xie Li. Both of them started to argue. Chen Hao who was present roughly knew what was going on between them. It seemed like Xie Li was a good friend of Wang Xiao in junior high school, however, during that time, both girls fell in love with the same studious guy in ss simultaneously. Everyone knew that students in junior high often go through a period of rebellion. If it was about fighting for the same boyfriend, girls were known to be more relentless than boys. Wang Xiao was popr because she was a teacher¡¯s daughter, plus she was always the mischievous type, and during her wilder days she made a lot of ¡®brothers and sisters¡¯ who stood for her. Meanwhile Xie Li, she also got to know a lot of ¡®sisters¡¯ from the darker side of society. Therefore the originally close friends had fallen out with each other, and even made appointments to fight on livestream tforms. They were on bad terms with each other ever since then. In college, there was an influential and rich guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth going after her, therefore she used that privilege and simply found a reason to give a p to Xie Li, and took the chance to bully her as well. The semester break this summer, Xie Li obviously wanted to get her revenge on Wang Xiao. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Li, is this the girl? Hey, go ahead and give her a p. I¡¯d like to see who would even dare move a muscle! I¡¯m Li Fei, you guys must have heard of me before?¡± Liu Fei chuckled. These three young delinquents were at least two or three years younger than Chen Hao, with hairstyles and fashion styles that had loud personalities. In other words, they looked like total thugs, but all of them were just skin and bones. Chen Hao didn¡¯t have any time to deal with these little brats, therefore he was prepared to leave. ¡°Let me tell you. Do you believe that I will ask Yang Qiang toe over if you dare to hit me?!¡± Wang Xiao raised her voice. She then caught Chen Hao trying to leave, so sheshed out, ¡°What the hell Chen Hao? I really thought too highly of you. I¡¯m a woman and I¡¯m not even afraid, what do you have to be afraid of? They¡¯re here to attack me, not you, you coward!¡± The contempt in his heart was only growingrger now. ¡°I still have something to do, no time to deal with your sh*t.¡± Who¡¯s being a coward, I just didn¡¯t want to care, he thought. ¡°Alright, then why don¡¯t you call out for help? Let me experience it a little. Let me tell you, my brother is also part of the underground of Jinling city, and he was even one since he was in our hometown. His name is Liu Yang, and if you have the guts, why don¡¯t you give it a shot? Let¡¯s see who¡¯s afraid of who now. Also, those who are unrted in this matter, scram!¡± Liu Fei sneered. Chen Hao who was approaching the door stopped abruptly when he heard that. He then turned around, one hand in his pocket and tapped on Liu Fei¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Hey, who did you say your brother was?¡± Chapter 281 Wu Qian has Something to Say Chapter 281 Wu Qian has Something to Say ¡°My brother is Liu Yang, from No.1 High School. What¡¯s the matter now, scared? If you¡¯re afraid then just scram, otherwise when he gets back he¡¯s gonna take care of all of you!¡± Liu Fei sneered arrogantly. ¡°I¡¯ll f*ck you up!¡± Chen Hao¡¯s eyes turned red from rage, he raised his leg and extended a kick toward Liu Fei¡¯s stomach; Liu Fei immediately fell to the ground and started wailing. Although Chen Hao didn¡¯t normally look buff, he could exert quite some strength in fighting. In the past when he was fighting together with Li Xiao, both of them were pretty skilled fighters, even though Li Xiao fought a lot more; Chen Hao only managed to help out Li Xiao to fight once. In other words, there was no doubt that he was a good fighter. Earlier when he heard Liu Fei mention Liu Yang from No.1 High School, Chen Hao¡¯s temper immediately red up. Right now, Chen Hao didn¡¯t even care about anything else at all. He simply grabbed something and flung it at the other two. These three were basically all skin and bones, so they were naturally beaten easily by Chen Hao. Wang Xiao was stunned on the spot; at this moment, she suddenly felt that Chen Hao was quite the man! ¡°Chen Hao, beat the living daylights out of them for me!¡± Wang Xiao cheered out loud. As Xie Li watched the fight break out, she reached for a vase at the side and threw it toward Wang Xiao; the two girls also started fighting each other. Chen Hao was definitely excessive with his force this time, to the point that his eyes went red with rage. Who was Liu Yang? He was considered to be a knot in Chen Hao¡¯s heart, who caused Chen Hao to me himself for the past few years. Yes, it was exactly that Liu Yang back in middle school, who got his men to attack Chen Hao, all because of a girl. He relied on the influence and wealth of his family, along with the many underlings serving under him to beat Chen Hao up after school. That very afternoon, Li Xiao ran over to assist Chen Hao in fighting about those people that numbered in a dozen. They had used the legs of chairs as weapons, and had Chen Hao pushed into a corner; it was at that moment that Li Xiao pulled out a knife... After that incident, Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t have held a heavy grudge if it was the end of it. Shortly after, Li Xiao¡¯s family was ruined by Liu Yang¡¯s father. Li Xiao¡¯s father was originally a truck driver, but as a result of that one rash decision, he got his leg broken; he, as the pir of the whole family, copsed. Li Xiao, who attended vocational schoolter, was once again assaulted by Li Xiao and his henchmen, who also attended vocational school. Fortunately for Li Xiao, he eventually started repairing cars for someone important in the society, earning himself a backer. This was the reason why Chen Hao¡¯s eyes shed red with rage earlier. This brat was saying that he would ask Liu Yang toe take care of them, but coincidentally, Chen Hao was looking for him! With the anger that red up out of nowhere within him, he could no longer care about the consequences. ¡°Ouch! My leg!¡± Wang Xiao shouted all of the sudden. It turned out that she tripped over a broken vase on the ground and identally cut herself on her calf. As Xie Li noticed that the situation was getting out of hand, she no longer dared to make any further moves. They helped Liu Fei up, who was covering his stomach that was in pain, and fled the scene. N?velDrama.Org content. The manager of Dicos also got up to call the cops. As for Wang Xiao¡¯s ssmates from before, they had long since vanished from the ce. ¡°Chen Hao, please hurry and take me to the nearest clinic. If my wound leaves a mark it would be too assistance. After all, she did think that Chen Hao was fighting for her sake earlier. What a troublesome one! Chen Hao could onlysh out in his heart. However, he still supported Wang Xiao and went to a nearby clinic to tend to her wound. Fortunately, the injury was not too serious; it was just a shallow cut on her calf. Meanwhile, Wang Xiao was half lying on the clinic bed at the moment, with the corner of her mouth curved up as she stared at Chen Hao. Her eyes sparkled with a hint of curiosity. ¡°Hehe!¡± Wang Xiao chuckled all out of sudden. ¡°What are youughing about?¡± Chen Hao asked casually. ¡°Hey, today was a real eye-opener for me. I also heard all the stories, that when you were a junior in high school, you were often bullied. But today, when I finally met you, I thought that you were a real honest person, so honest that you could have been just in dumb. Hehe, but I didn¡¯t expect it at all, you¡¯re really strong when you need to be. The three of them werepletely powerless against you. Also, maybe you didn¡¯t know, but when you were taking action earlier, you looked really manly!¡± Wang Xiao said as she rubbed her feet against him. Wang Xiao had totally changed her perspective toward Chen Hao; she was somewhat touched because of what he did for her just now. Women, they definitely had a thing for manly men, especially those who dared to step up to defend themselves and the people by their side; Chen Hao was definitely one of them. ¡°There are some matters that you don¡¯t know about. I¡¯m not usually like this!¡± Chen Hao exined. ¡°I know, I figured that out!¡± Wang Xiao pouted as she said. ¡°Alright, you can go home by yourself since you are fine. I still need to return to Dicos!¡± Chen Hao turned, about to leave. ¡°What are you going back for?¡± Wang Xiao asked quickly. ¡°After destroying so much furniture, don¡¯t we need topensate for them?!¡± Chen Hao replied. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao, wait a minute! I have something to say!¡± ¡°What else do you want?¡± ¡°I just wanted to say that you are not too bad after all!¡± Wang Xiao stated in a serious manner. ¡°Haha.¡± Chen Hao chuckled wryly and left right after that. ¡°This runt, he clearly wasn¡¯t like this when I first met him, but now he is clearly giving off a certain type of aura,¡± Wang Xiao whispered while staring at Chen Hao¡¯s back. But when she thought back to when Chen Hao was defending her earlier, Wang Xiao smiled from ear to ear. It was almost noon when Wang Xiao returned. Fortunately, neither of her parents were home, only her sister was home. ¡°What took you so long to return? I called you and realized that you turned off your phone. Didn¡¯t you say that it would be done in twenty minutes?¡± Wang Min, the elder sister, questioned her. But once she saw that her sister was limping with her calf bandaged, she was stunned at the sight and asked, ¡°Sis, what happened to you? Did you fight with someone?¡± ¡°You got it right, sis. I fought with Xie Li, she even brought some backups!¡± Wang Min responded. ¡°Huh, that little witch, what did she do that for? T-Then, what about that miserable loser? Did you end up meeting him?¡± Wang Min, who recalled about Chen Hao, asked again. ¡°Sis, why are you calling Chen Hao a miserable loser? You¡¯ve not even met him yet, so why are you talking about him so badly?¡± Wang Xiao asked in difort. It was indeed an ufortable feeling for her, because she really thought that he was decent; whoever it was that insulted him, even if it was her own sister, she would have felt simrly ufortable. ¡°What the heck, what¡¯s wrong with you? Did you actually meet him? How was he? Was he good- looking? Was he low ss? He can¡¯t be that ugly, can he?¡± Wang Min asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m tired and I just want to go back to my room and rest right now. I don¡¯t want to help you regarding this matter in the future anymore!¡± Wang Xiao said unhappily as she headed straight back to her room. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Wang Min was puzzled with her sister¡¯s sudden change of attitude toward her. Back to Chen Hao, as soon as he got back to Dicos and settled thepensation issues, Uncle Wu called to ask how the blind date went. Chen Hao replied saying that they would talk about it at hometer, so he headed to Uncle Wu¡¯s house after that. But he saw Wu Qian was standing there once he arrived at the door; it seemed like she was waiting for someone. She walked toward Chen Hao once she caught sight of him. ¡°Damn, I¡¯ve waited for you for so long. Come here, I have something to tell you¡­¡± Chapter 282 Hot Spring Scenic Zone Chapter 282 Hot Spring Scenic Zone ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Hao asked. Wu Qian answered, ¡°Are you free tomorrow?¡± ¡°Why? I might go grocery shopping tomorrow.¡± The day after tomorrow was Chen Hao¡¯s birthday. He thought it would not be appropriate to let Aunt Wu pay for the groceries and cooking for his birthday at the same time. So, he was thinking of buying the groceries himself. ¡°Well, why do you need to go grocery shopping? You¡¯re basically living off my grandparents all these days. Oh yeah, the day after tomorrow is your birthday, isn¡¯t it? I almost forgot about it. Anyway, I¡¯ve some good news for you. Just put everything aside, including grocery shopping. They¡¯re not that important!¡± ¡°Are you sure that''s good news?¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. Although Chen Hao and Wu Qian grew up together, their rtionship was not a close one. In fact, Wu Qian was quite rude to Chen Hao since childhood. Even now, she still treated Chen Hao poorly. Wu Qian and her siblings would often make fun of him when he was little. Chen Hao used to hold a grudge against them when he was still a little boy. But now, although he would be annoyed by Wu Qian¡¯s sometimes harsh insults, he would not take her seriously for the sake of Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu. ¡°What¡¯s that supposed to mean? Huh? You don¡¯t believe me? Let me tell you this. Tomorrow we are going on a trip to the Hot Spring Scenic Zone in Xiao Quan City. I was thinking about inviting you to join us tomorrow since I haven¡¯t had the opportunity to show you around the city after you came back. Xiao Quan City is now a tourist spot. It¡¯s pretty cool now!¡± Wu Qian said. ¡°Really? Taking me out on a trip?¡± Xiao Quan City was the ce where Yang Minxue stayed. The city was surrounded by mountains and streams of water. The city had a hot spring, which was one of the well-developed tourist sites. Chen Hao thought of visiting the ce before, but he was surprised by Wu Qian¡¯s sudden invitation. ¡°Of course it¡¯s real. So, are you going or what? Lunch will be provided,¡± Wu Qian said proudly, folding her arms across her chest. Chen Hao shook his head and said, ¡°Nope. No, thanks. I¡¯m not going!¡± ¡°Eh? What?¡± Wu Qian was surprised by Chen Hao¡¯s refusal. Based on her understanding of Chen Hao, she thought he would appreciate her offer and ept the invitation quickly. ¡°Qian, has Chen Haoe? Eh? You guys came back? Why didn¡¯t youe in then? Come on, lunch is ready. Come in and have some lunch while we can talk about the progress of the matter.¡± Uncle Wu came out and invited Chen Hao and Wu Qian into the house for lunch. However, Wu Qian pulled a face without moving. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Qian? Who¡¯s bothering you this time?¡± Uncle Wu smiled bitterly. ¡°Who else if it wasn¡¯t Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Nonsense, why would he bother you?¡± ¡°Yes, he did. I was being nice and invited him on a trip to Xiao Quan City. But he didn¡¯t appreciate it and turned down my invitation!¡± Wu Qian answered. ¡°Oh, Chen Hao, if that¡¯s true, then you should go with Qian. She just wants to go on a trip with you. Besides, there are some wonderful views at the Hot Spring Scenic Zone. You should go and have a look if you¡¯re free.¡± Uncle Wu did not suspect anything. He just thought his granddaughter had finally harmony. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll go tomorrow!¡± Chen Hao could no longer reject Wu Qian¡¯s invitation after hearing Uncle Wu¡¯s words. ¡°Humph!¡± Wu Qian entered the house after rolling her eyes at Chen Hao. In the afternoon, Chen Hao had to go shop for groceries since he would not have enough time to buy them tomorrow because of the trip. The next day, early in the morning, Chen Hao was dragged out of the house by Wu Qian. She drove Chen Hao to Xiao Quan City in her father¡¯s Passat. Chen Hao was sitting at the back of the car. He opened the car window at the back to get some air as he felt a little stuffy in the car. But the window was closed again after it stayed open for a while. Chen Hao realized it was Wu Qian who closed his window. Damn that girl! He cursed in his heart while continuing his attempt to roll down the window. This time, the window just rolled down a little before Wu Qian closed it again. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chen Hao was speechless with Wu Qian¡¯s behavior. ¡°I should be the one who asks that! Why are you opening the window when I¡¯m driving in front? What if dirtes in? Have you ever been in cars before?¡± Wu Qian mocked Chen Hao. Wu Qian¡¯s cell phone rang suddenly. ¡°Yes, Lin Yue. I¡¯m on my way to fetch you, wait for me! I told youst night, didn¡¯t I? I¡¯ve found a helper. He will carry the baggage for us when we go hikingter. All you need to do is pay attention in pursuing your crush, Yu Qiang. Alright? You ungrateful little gal¡ª¡± There was a pause, then she continued, ¡°Right, I¡¯ll see youter. My boyfriend? He¡¯s driving himself. He¡¯ll arrive soon. Later, we¡¯ll help you in your quest of pursuing Yu Qiang. See youter.¡± Wu Qian then hung up the phone. Finally, Chen Hao knew the reason Wu Qian invited him to the trip! ¡°The reason you invited me for the trip is to carry your bags? What the heck!¡± Chen Hao said in annoyance. ¡°So? Why are you being so upset? You just need to carry some bags, that¡¯s all. It¡¯s not like you will die This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. or something. Besides, I¡¯ll treat you some lunch for that. What¡¯s there to be afraid about? And let me warn you something, today is a special day for my best friend. Today she will pursue her love interest. So, you better behave yourself. It¡¯s my best friend and Yu Qiang who shall be in the spotlight today, not us!¡± Wu Qian said. Chen Hao was thinking about leaving immediately if he was not already in the car and if it was not Uncle Wu who sent them away and watched them leave the house. But on second thought, it would not be appropriate to leave after he promised Uncle Wu to go with Wu Qian. So, he just remained silent. Wu Qian looked into the rear-view mirror and smiled triumphantly. ¡°Chen Hao, you seem really mad. I remembered you wouldn¡¯t get mad easily no matter how many things we used to make you carry for us. I know why you are really angry now. Well, I¡¯ve told you since we were in primary school that it¡¯s impossible between us! You shouldn¡¯t think about it anymore!¡± Both Wu Qian and Wu Feng received their primary school education in their hometown. They were only transferred to the county when they were in junior high schoolter. They were all very young back then. Chen Hao, Li Xiao and Wu Qian went to the same school during that time. Being the prettiest girl among the students, Wu Qian became the apple of the boys¡¯ eyes in the school. The boys alwayspeted to pretend as Wu Qian¡¯s husband when they were ying make-believe games back then. Because of this, Li Xiao often scuffled with Chen Hao over Wu Qian. However, these happened in the past when they were all young and innocent. But until now, Wu Qian still thought Chen Hao had feelings for her. Wu Qian thought Chen Hao would get even more upset if she told him she already had a boyfriend. She thought she understood Chen Hao well. Chen Hao simply turned his head away and looked at the view outside, not in the mood of conversing with Wu Qian. Soon, Wu Qian arrived to fetch her best friend, Lin Yue. Like Wu Qian, Lin Yue was very beautiful too. Chen Hao saw her before when they were in primary school. She grew prettier after not seeing her for such a long time. She was tall and slim with an excellent body figure. Lin Yue got into the car. She recognized Chen Hao when she nced at him but did not greet him. Lin Yue passed her bag to Chen Hao straightaway. ¡°Hey, I might need those sunscreen and cosmetics anytime. Be sure to keep those for me during the hike, you got that?¡± ¡°Got it!¡± Chen Hao nodded impatiently. Later, Wu Qian and Lin Yue were busy chatting away in the car. They mostly talked about Lin Yue and her love interest, Yu Qiang. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Hot Spring Scenic Zone and there were two good-looking guys waiting. ¡°Qian, Lin Yue, over here!¡± Chapter 283 Connections Are Important Chapter 283 Connections Are Important The two guys waved at Wu Qian and Lin Yue. Wu Qian and Lin Yue strolled forward with Chen Hao followed behind, a huge baggage on his back and a small bag in his hand. ¡°Qian, why are you arriving sote? Hey, you really found a helper. Good, we¡¯ll have a great time today. Thanks for helping, bro!¡± A guy kissed Wu Qian on her cheek and put his arm around her waist. He looked at Chen Hao with a smile on his face as he said that to him. While another guy offered Chen Hao a high-end ¡®Suyan¡¯ cigarette. ¡°Yu Qiang, why are you offering him cigarettes? He doesn¡¯t smoke. Even if he does, he can¡¯t afford such an expensive one!¡± Wu Qian said. ¡°He is Chen Hao, the one I told you guys before. Today, he¡¯ll be helping us with the baggage. In return, we¡¯ll treat him some lunchter.¡± Wu Qian continued her introduction while holding the guy¡¯s arm. ¡°Chen Hao, the guy who offered you cigarettes is Yu Qiang. His parents are working in the county¡¯s Water Conservancy Bureau. And this is my boyfriend, Wang Hao, his family owns a factory.¡± Wu Qian observed Chen Hao¡¯s expression quietly after introducing her boyfriend. She was curious about Chen Hao¡¯s reaction when he found out she had a rich boyfriend. Much to her surprise, Chen Hao merely nodded. As for Wang Hao and Yu Qiang, Chen Hao could see that they were just being polite during the introduction. In fact, he felt both of them were rather arrogant and pompous. How did he know? Because they went to buy drinks as soon as they passed a backpack to Chen Hao. And they bought only four drinks for themselves. Theypletely paid no attention to Chen Hao. Oh well, just forget about their existence and think of it as going on a trip on my own. Besides, I can¡¯t really do anything since Wu Qian is here too, Chen Hao thought,forting himself. ¡°Wang Hao, why are there so many people here at the Hot Spring Scenic Zone? The ce is so beautifully decorated too. Any event they¡¯re having here today?¡± Wu Qian asked curiously. ¡°I just finished talking about it with Yu Qiang. With the amount of people around and the workers busy working inside, it seems they are organizing some kind of grand event, especially the Hot Spring Grand Hotel within. I¡¯ve heard from a security guard just now that the hotel was rented by a wealthy businessman from Jin Ling for some grand event tomorrow! The ce will be crowded with notables. Aren¡¯t you guys living in Xiao Gu City which is near Xiao Quan City? Haven¡¯t you guys heard anything about it?¡± Wang Hao said. ¡°I haven¡¯t heard anything at all! But never mind, let¡¯s go in and have some fun, shall we?¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡± They went to get the tickets after a short discussion. Tickets in small vige towns like this were usually cheap, around 50 per person. Chen Hao heard some noise when they reached the ticketing counter. An argument broke out between a group of visitors and the ticket sellers. ¡°What do you mean you are not selling the tickets anymore? You¡¯re only telling it now after all five of us came?¡± A girl who was the leader of the group said coldly; there were three girls and two guys in the group. ¡°Yeah right. We were already here before you put the news on your official website!¡± ¡°We are really sorry for that. We were just informed of the notice fifteen minutes ago. The scenic zone will be closed to visitors for two days¡ªtoday and tomorrow¡ªas we need to decorate the site for many events,¡± the staff exined patiently. ¡°Well, how about those tourists who went in before this? I don¡¯t see you guys drag them out either, do I? The notice came up just fifteen minutes ago! I don¡¯t care! You let us in now!¡± ¡°We are really sorry about that¡­¡± The argument came to a standstill as both parties refused to tolerate each other. ¡°Damn! The scenic zone just closed. Sh*t! I should have bought the tickets when I came here with Yu Qiang earlier!¡± ¡°Wang Hao, what should we do now?¡± Wu Qian asked in disappointment. ¡°I¡¯ll give my dad a call. Let¡¯s see if he can pull some strings!¡± Wang Hao took out his cell phone and suggested. ¡°I¡¯ll call my dad too. He knows the assistant manager here,¡± Yu Qiang said. ¡°Yes, Yu Qiang. I trust you!¡± Wang Hao and Yu Qiang proceeded to make some phone calls. When Lin Yue saw Wu Qian wiping the sweat off Wang Hao¡¯s forehead with a tissue, she rushed toward Chen Hao for her bag. ¡°Hey you, give me my bag!¡± ¡°Find it quickly! You¡¯re so tardy!¡± Lin Yue scolded Chen Hao when she saw him put down the big bag first before finding her small bag. ¡°I¡¯ve found it!¡± ¡°Give it to me quickly, you sluggish fool!¡± Chen Hao finally found the bag and was about to pass it to Lin Yue when thetter snatched it and scolded him rudely. Lin Yue strode toward Yu Qiang; she, too, wanted to wipe Yu Qiang¡¯s sweat with a tissue. Damn! What kind of person is she? Chen Hao thought to himself, holding back his anger. Lin Yue had a crush on Yu Qiang. Therefore, she nned the trip with Wu Qian so that Wu Qian and her boyfriend would fix her up with Yu Qiang. That was the main purpose of the trip. Chen Hao had no idea that Lin Yue would be such a rude person who was so full of herself. She basically treated everyone poorly except Yu Qiang. But Chen Hao could not be bothered by her since they would probably not meet again. ¡°Wang Hao, how¡¯s everything going? What did your dad say?¡± Wu Qian asked. ¡°My dad said his hands were tied. He couldn¡¯t get in touch with the people here. How¡¯s everything going with Yu Qiang there?¡± Yu Qiang just ended his call. ¡°Yu Qiang, how¡¯s everything going?¡± Wu Qian asked. It would be wonderful if they managed to get their hands on the tickets while everyone else could not. ¡°My dad told me to wait while he contacted the assistant manager here,¡± Yu Qiang said. Chen Hao was worried about them too. He knew hispany was the one that developed the Hot Spring Vi, not by some other parties. But since he could not recognize any staff within the scenic zone, Chen Hao guessed they were mostly locals and old employees. Or else, the security guard would not leave them unentertained if they recognized Chen Hao. However, the weather was very hot today and he was carrying a lot of bags. ¡°Hey, are you guys going in or what? I¡¯m standing here like forever!¡± Chen Haoined impatiently. ¡°What the heck are youining about? Yu Qiang is pulling the strings right now. Just shut the hell up and wait!¡± Wu Qian snapped in annoyance. But Chen Hao was hot and thirsty after waiting for over ten minutes. He could not find a shelter where he could stay in and Wu Qian would not allow him to wait in the car too. Damn! What a nuisance! Chen Hao was irritated. He immediately texted Li Zhenguo so that thetter would send someone to let them in instead of just waiting there. Li Zhenguo replied ¡®Got it¡¯. ¡°Yes, dad. I understand!¡± Yu Qiang hung up the phone again. ¡°What did your dad say this time?¡± Wang Hao asked. ¡°My dad contacted Assistant Manager Wang here. But both the manager and Assistant Manager Wang are not here now. They went out on a business procurement trip. My dad said whether we can get in or not will be dependent on the arrangement of Assistant Manager Wang. If we still can¡¯t get in, then there¡¯s nothing I can do anymore,¡± Yu Qiang said. Another group of visitors were also counting on Yu Qiang to help them get in. The staff looked at the visitors apologetically. ¡°It¡¯s very hot here, so please go back and stop waiting here. The ce will not¡­¡± The phone at the ticketing counter rang suddenly and the staff was interrupted. N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course, I understand!¡± After hanging up the phone, the staff said politely to Yu Qiang and his group, ¡°Gentlemen, the manager called in person to invite you and your friends into the zone. We will take care of all your expenses today.¡± The staff was still doubting Yu Qiang and Wang Hao¡¯s words when they said they would get the tickets through connections. The staff was surprised by Yu Qiang and Wang Hao¡¯s abilities in pulling strings when the manager called in person and permitted their admission; that was quite some powerful connections they had. ¡°Wow! The manager personally made the call!¡± Wu Qian and Lin Yue were excited by the news. Lin Yue looked at Yu Qiang with great admiration. At the same time, the leading girl from another group just now walked toward Yu Qiang. ¡°Hey Mister, do you think you can say a few words and get us in too? We¡¯ll pay for the tickets ourselves,¡± the girl said while looking at Yu Qiang with admiration. ¡°No problem, Miss. All of you can go in too!¡± Yu Qiang was ecstatic. He never thought his father had such a powerful connection like Assistant Manager Wang, who managed to convince the manager to let them in. He was very proud about it. Finally, over ten tourists including Chen Hao and others marched into the zone. At the ticketing counter, a female attendant asked the staff who answered the phone just now, ¡°What happened? Is it true that the manager called in person?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. The manager said a VIP was blocked by us at the entrance. He told us to serve the VIP well and make sure there are no mistakes whatsoever.¡± ¡°Alright, I understand!¡± Chapter 284 Troubles Chapter 284 Troubles Standing behind them, Chen Hao felt really helpless. Great! There was always someone who took the credit for everything he did. He thought things would be different this time but he was wrong. What an idiot Yu Qiang is! Why can¡¯t you use your brain and think clearly? How is it possible that you called Assistant Manager Wang but in the end it was the manager who called and arranged everything in person? Chen Hao thought to himself. Then, Chen Hao realized everything turned out this way because of him keeping a low profile. However, he had no other choice because he did not want to reveal himself, especially to Wu Qian and her friends. Chen Hao felt helpless as all he could do was to suffer in silence. When entering the ce, Chen Hao and his gang were joined by the other group of visitors which were led by the girl who asked for Yu Qiang¡¯s help earlier. The girl was grateful with Yu Qiang¡¯s help, which made her admiration for him to have increased. Meanwhile, Lin Yue felt threatened by the girl because she was also quite pretty and was being flirtatious with Yu Qiang. So, Lin Yue was slightly annoyed and she kept rolling her eyes at the girl. ¡°Take my bag!¡± Lin Yue walked toward Chen Hao. After throwing her bag at Chen Hao, she returned to Yu Qiang¡¯s side in distress. ¡°Yu Qiang, where shall we goter? Aren¡¯t you going to take me to the hot spring and have some delicious food?¡± Lin Yue asked Yu Qiang in a flirtatious manner. She decided to be more aggressive in her pursuit; Lin Yue and Yu Qiang already had feelings for each other thanks to Wang Hao and Wu Qian¡¯s help, in addition to Lin Yue¡¯s beauty. They were so close to bing a couple officially that Lin Yue was not going to risk losing his soon-to-be boyfriend to a neer. ¡°Sure, no problem. We can do that,¡± Yu Qiang said with a smile. ¡°Yu Qiang, she¡¯s very pretty! Is she your girlfriend?¡± the girl asked with a smile. in Yue stood staring at Yu Qiang quietly. ¡°No. She¡¯s my close friend.¡± Yu Qiang smiled bitterly. ¡°Oh yeah, Miss, what¡¯s your name?¡± The girl looked gorgeous and elegant. ¡°I¡¯m Wang Min. Thanks for your help just now. Let¡¯s be friends?¡± She smiled. ¡°Sure!¡± Yu Qiang then added Wang Min in WeChat, much to Lin Yue¡¯s dismay. Chen Hao thought the girl resembled Wang Xiao. He was sure about her identity as soon as he heard her name. It can¡¯t be! What a coincidence! Chen Hao thought. Wu Qian was surprised too when she heard the name. But she was unsure about it and so she asked, ¡°Oh yeah, do you know Mr. Wang Hongfei?¡± ¡°Eh? That¡¯s my grandfather!¡± Wang Min said. ¡°Holy smoke! What a coincidence! My grandfather is Wu Baihua. Wang Min, do you know him?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Wang Min was surprised too. How could she not know Wu Baihua? It was Wu Baihua, her grandfather¡¯s employee, who introduced that loser, Chen Hao, to her. ¡°Yes, I know. You must be Uncle Wu¡¯s granddaughter, Wu Qian. We met a few times when we were young!¡± Wang Min instantly got closer with Wu Qian. Chen Hao felt a little awkward. That¡¯s one hell of a coincidence! Luckily, Uncle Wu did not mention anything about the blind date when he invited Chen Hao over for lunch at noon yesterday. Apparently, Wu Qian drove to Uncle Wu¡¯s house only after Uncle Wu had called Chen Hao. Although Uncle Wu was curious about the oue of the meeting, he did not ask about the matter in front of Wu Qian; Chen Hao did not mention it either. They only talked about the matter in the afternoon after lunch. Uncle Wu knew it would be troublesome if Wu Qian discovered that he introduced a nice girl to Chen Hao instead of Wu Feng. Because Wu Qian would tell Wu Feng about it and Uncle Wu did not want Wu Feng to misunderstand him. So, Uncle Wu discussed the matter with Chen Hao privately to avoid more unnecessary trouble. Holy smoke! So this is Wang Xiao¡¯s sister, the one I was supposed to meet on the blind date. She definitely looks gorgeous and elegant! Chen Hao could barely take his eyes off Wang Min. The situation now was that Wang Min became closer and conversed happily with more people in their group; Wang Min chatted with Yu Qiang because she wanted to get to know more about Yu Qiang, probably due to his help earlier, but she also chatted with Wu Qian after finding out they were acquaintances through the conversation earlier. On the other hand, Lin Yue was jealous of Wang Min and Yu Qiang. She threw some fits of anger throughout their conversations. Due to his close rtionship with Lin Yue, Yu Qiang simply put up with her fits without saying anything. As for Chen Hao, he was long forgotten and ignored by his fellow friends. They strolled around the ce for over two hours. It was already a few minutes past eleven o¡¯clock when they finally stopped for lunch. There were loads of restaurants within the scenic zone. So, Yu Qiang suggested they should continue their chat in a restaurant. Wang Min and her group agreed to his suggestion. Soon, all of them were having lunch together in a restaurant. Chen Hao put down the bags and sat down. ¡°Who asked you to sit?¡± A voice yelled at Chen Hao unexpectedly; it was Lin Yue. ¡°It¡¯s lunch time! Why can¡¯t I sit down?¡± Chen Hao said, ring at Lin Yue. Jealousy crept through Lin Yue when she saw that Yu Qiang was busy chatting non-stop with Wang Min while neglecting her since they entered the restaurant. So, she threw a tantrum and scolded Chen Hao angrily to make her presence felt. ¡°Chen Hao, who do you think you are to even sit here and have lunch with us? Why don¡¯t you look at yourself in the mirror? How dare a person like you have lunch together with us! Don¡¯t you feel ashamed at all with yourself when you try to associate yourself with someone of high social status like us?¡± Lin Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Yue scolded, obviously throwing hints at Wang Min and her group as she turned her focus at Chen Hao. ¡°Why should I be ashamed of myself?¡± Chen Hao was infuriated by Lin Yue¡¯s words. ¡°That¡¯s enough, Chen Hao. Why are you being angry with Lin Yue? Do you even consider yourself as a gentleman for being angry with ady when she¡¯s just scolded you a little?¡± Wu Qian saw Lin Yue was very unhappy today for being at a disadvantage in her pursuit of Yu Qiang. So, she decided to help Lin Yue take her anger out on Chen Hao and scolded him too. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Wang Min stared at Chen Hao with her bright eyes. Chen Hao is the one who I was supposed to meet on a blind date! That¡¯s him? ¡°Oh! Wang Min, you probably don¡¯t know him. He is my grandfather¡¯s neighbor. The house he stays in belongs to us. He just rented it. We asked him toe and help us with our bags today. I promised that I¡¯ll treat him to a nice lunch for his hard work.¡± Wu Qian was worried that an argument might break out between Lin Yue and Wang Min. So, she took the opportunity to change the subject quickly. ¡°Oh yes, I see!¡± Wang Min¡¯s face turned red and she looked at Chen Hao awkwardly. Wang Min had loads of imagination on Chen Hao¡¯s appearance. She thought even though Chen Hao was poor, he would at least be good-looking or had an interesting personality. But she never thought that Chen Hao¡ªthough rather good-looking¡ªwould be such a lowlife who would carry other people¡¯s bags in exchange for a free lunch! Based on Wu Qian¡¯s reaction, it seemed that she was oblivious of the blind date. Nevertheless, Wang Min would never talk about the blind date since Wu Qian and Chen Hao did not mention it either. ¡°Excuse me, Miss. You have dishesing in your way!¡± The waitress came with a tray full of dishes. She warned the standing Lin Yue about the dishes behind her. Lin Yue turned around and bumped into the dishes, almost flipping over the tray; some soup spilled on her arms. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. Are you alright?¡± The waitress apologized politely. Smack! Suddenly, Lin Yue raised her hand and pped the waitress across the face. ¡°Damn! Are you blind? How dare you spill the soup all over me?¡± Lin Yue was not in a good mood due to jealousy. She had been trying to make her presence felt since this morning but without sess. And now, because of the waitress, she was humiliated in front of Yu Qiang. So, she took her anger out on the waitress. The waitress looked like she had just graduated from high school; she seemed very young and the skin on her face was soft and delicate. The p had startled her. Chen Hao and the gang were surprised by the p too; they did not expect that Lin Yue would dare to p her. ¡°Jun Yue, what happened? Who pped you?¡± A female lobby manager of the restaurant and some waiters rushed toward Jun Yue. They respectfully and fearfully supported the waitress who was pped by Lin Yue, while the lobby manager¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°It¡¯s her. She¡¯s the one who pped me!¡± Jun Yue cried while holding her face. ¡°How dare you p her? Do you know who she is?¡± The lobby manager snapped at Lin Yue. Chapter 285 A Turn of Tables Chapter 285 A Turn of Tables ¡°Hmph! I don¡¯t care who she is! Of course I pped her! She spilled soup on me! She¡¯s just a little waitress, so what¡¯s the big deal?¡± Lin Yue retorted. Of course Lin Yue dared to make a scene in the restaurant because she knew Yu Qiang, who had a powerful connection, would cover her back. She had been feeling very depressed watching Wang Min stealing the limelight since the morning. And now, a lobby manager was snapping at her when she simply taught the waitress who spilled soup on her a little lesson! What the heck? Lin Yue was in rage. ¡°Jun Yue, don¡¯t cry. I¡¯m calling Manager Wang now. We¡¯ll let your father deal with it!¡± The father of Wang Junyue was the manager of the scenic zone¡¯s Foreign Investment Department. He was also the chief nner for events in the scenic zone. Since he was sent here from Jin Ling, he was quite an influential man who was more powerful than the managers in the scenic zone itself. Wang Junyue wanted to gain some working experience by bing a waitress here at the restaurant as a part-timer during her free summer holiday. She even had to beg her father for the job. But unfortunately, she got pped on her first day at work. ¡°Go ahead! Just make your calls! I¡¯ve got Qiang on my back! I¡¯m not afraid of you guys!¡± Lin Yue wrapped her arms around Yu Qiang¡¯s arm. Everyone looked at Yu Qiang; Yu Qiang took pride in himself especially when he knew that Lin Yue was being unreasonable due to his influence. So, Yu Qiang stood up coldly and said, ¡°Well, looks like the restaurant has some powerful backups. Very well then, I¡¯ll see who that person is! Lin Yue, don¡¯t be afraid! I¡¯m sure I can settle everything with just a simple call!¡± The staff in the restaurant continued making their calls while Lin Yue kept rattling on in anger. Soon, three ck Audi A6 arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. ¡°Damn! Who the hell pped my daughter? You must be tired of living!¡± A middle-aged man in a suit marched in with about seven to eight people following behind him; they looked extraordinarily fierce like someone with a mafia background. Looking at those people, Lin Yue was frightened and she turned to Yu Qiang for help. ¡°President Wang, it was her who pped Jun Yue!¡± the lobby manager said, pointing at Lin Yue. ¡°Damn! How dare you p Jun Yue! Grab her!¡± President Wang waved his hand and his bodyguard was about to make a move when Yu Qiang stood up and walked toward him. ¡°Well, you must be Manager Wang. I¡¯m afraid we have a misunderstanding here. How about I give Assistant Manager Wang a call? It was the manager of the scenic zone who let us in here. I suppose you don¡¯t want any trouble here, do you?¡± Yu Qiang said in a diplomatic tone. Yu Qiang thought that he had a powerful backup; he wanted to know what Manager Wang had to say after he had introduced his connection. ¡°Goddammit! Li and Wang are both nothing to me! How dare you use them to threaten me? Open your goddamn eyes and see!¡± Smack! Manager Wang raised his hand and pped Yu Qiang¡¯s face; it was a p hard enough to make Yu Qiang stumble. ¡°Yu Qiang!¡± ¡°Qiang!¡± Both Wang Min and Lin Yue called out to Yu Qiang simultaneously. ¡°Hmph! I wonder why these people are so arrogant. They think that the scenic zone is under the control of Manager Li and Assistant Manager Wang. But what they don¡¯t know is that both of them still need to listen and take orders from you, President Wang!¡± the lobby manager sneered. ¡°What?¡± Yu Qiang, who was about to retaliate, was stunned when he heard the lobby manager¡¯s words. Assistant Manager Wang also needs to take orders from him? Suddenly, Lin Yue screamed as two bodyguards came over and pulled her hair, then pped her repeatedly; the restaurant was in chaos. ¡°Let me tell you something. Things are not over yet because you people bullied my daughter today. I¡¯ll make sure all of you pay for what you did! No one will escape!¡± Manager Wang said, his eyes turned red in fury. He was extremely angry as his precious daughter was bullied on her first day at work. It was unbelievable that a lunch would turn out to be a chaos like this; even innocent people like Wu Qian were not spared. ¡°Manager Wang, we are not the ones who pped your daughter!¡± Wang Hao said in panic. The bodyguards beat them up badly. Wang Min, who was older than Chen Hao and his friends, was frightened by the bodyguards too. Chen Hao remained seated and watched the mayhem before him calmly. Well, I¡¯m not a saint, so I¡¯ve no obligation to help everyone who''s in trouble, especially the two strangers like Lin Yue and Yu Qiang. Besides, Lin Yue had always been looking down on me. Plus, it serves her for being such an arrogant, rude and spoiled brat, Chen Hao thought to himself while feeling that Manager Wang looked rather familiar. Wu Qian was about to get beaten up by the bodyguards when a team of people dashed into the restaurant; they were the staff of the scenic zone. ¡°President Wang, please stop it! Stop hitting them! Stop it!¡± a leading female staff shouted, bringing with her a bunch of people who dashed into the restaurant together behind her. She was the female attendant from the ticketing counter earlier, who seemed to be one of the lesser leaders of the scenic area; her face was full of anxiety. ¡°Humph! Liu, it¡¯s you. What¡¯s the matter? Why can¡¯t I continue?¡± Manager Wang asked angrily. The female attendant rushed toward Manager Wang, then she whispered a few words in his ear and Manager Wang¡¯s face grew paler and paler¡­ ¡°What did you say? It was the big boss who made the arrangements for them to enter the scenic zone?¡± ¡°Yes, President Wang. The security guard told me that the VIP had some kind of troubles here. That¡¯s why I came here as soon as possible,¡± the female attendant exined while nodding her head. Manager Wang gasped in fear. The female attendant had rted the whole matter to him clearly. Initially, the group could not get the tickets to enter the zone. Then, the group leader, Yu Qiang called his father to help them enter the zone. Yu Qiang¡¯s father then called her to let those people in, but since she had to follow the rules, she did not agree to let them in. However, she received a call from Manager Li who told her that he received a call from the General Manager, Li Zhenguo¡¯s right-hand man, saying that those people were VIP¡¯s. Now, even Manager Li and Assistant Manager Wang were rushing back from their business procurement trip. Manager Wang was very worried and confused with the situation after listening to the female attendant, so much so that he broke out in a cold sweat. He looked apologetically at Yu Qiang on the ground. ¡°Well, Young Master, why didn¡¯t you say it clearly just now? You should have told me that it was that Manager Li who arranged your trip here.¡± From Manager Wang¡¯s point of view, a big boss like the General Manager, Li Zhenguo, was a very different man from the unimportant Manager Li from the scenic zone. Manager Wang could only smile friendly, but extremely fearfully at Yu Qiang. The bodyguards realized their mistakes and took a step back nervously. A 180-degrees change urred at the scene; suddenly, Yu Qiang and his group turned the tables on Manager Wang and his bodyguards. Wang Min was even more surprised by Yu Qiang. ¡°Oh my! Who is he actually to be so influential?¡± Wu Qian was ecstatic for having survived the chaos; she thought that Yu Qiang was awesome! Lin Yue¡¯s eyes simply widened with surprise. She then burst intoughter. ¡°Ha! Idiots! How dare you hit me? Go to hell you idiots!¡± Lin Yue stood up immediately and pped the bodyguards across their face several times. Smack! Smack! Smack! Nothing made Lin Yue more pleased than having the opportunity to avenge herself, N?velDrama.Org content. even though she was pped before, all thanks to Yu Qiang¡¯s incredible influence. ¡°Young Master Yu, may I ask who your father is?¡± Manager Wang asked fearfully. ¡°Hmph! My father is Yu Delong. He and my mother are people from the Ping An County¡¯s government bureau. They knew Assistant Manager Wang here!¡± Yu Qiang said arrogantly. Hmmm¡­ I know about Li Zhenguo¡¯s socialwork. But who is this Yu Delong to Li Zhenguo? Why would Li Zhenguo do him a favor? It doesn¡¯t sound right, Manager Wang wondered curiously. ¡°Hmph! So now you are afraid. You gave me a p just now. I¡¯d like to settle the score with you right now!¡± Lin Yue marched menacingly toward Manager Wang. At the same time, Chen Hao raised from the table with one hand in his pocket and smiled. ¡°Manager Wang Biao, long time no see!¡± Chapter 286 Chen Hao, Tell Me the Truth Chapter 286 Chen Hao, Tell Me the Truth Chen Hao did not want to see Lin Yue and Yu Qiang continue their pretentious act, so he decided to reveal himself. Just now, Chen Hao suddenly remembered the Manager Wang who stood before him was Wang Biao, the person who was responsible for organizing Lin Yiyi¡¯s birthday party during her birthday. That day, Chen Hao just had a small talk with Wang Biao briefly because he was busy entertaining Chen Lin. So, although he remembered seeing Wang Biao, he did not know him very well. Because Chen Hao had been lying low since this morning, Lin Yue and Yu Qiang had grown arrogant and went too far this time. He would let it slip if these two were his friends, but they were not! So, Chen Hao decided that he would not lie low anymore and watch the pretentious duo hit his men. ¡°Young Master C-Chen, it¡¯s y-you?¡± Wang Biao found his heart racing rapidly when he finally recognized Chen Hao from the crowd; he had no choice but to prepare himself for any punishment ahead. He lost his temper when he discovered that his daughter got pped and focused his revenge on Lin Yue and Yu Qiang so much that he became oblivious to other people in the restaurant. He could not believe Chen Hao was here, standing right in front of him now! Sh*t! Everything makes sense now! The VIP is Young Master Chen! Wang Biao was still wondering how an unimportant person like Yu Delong would be so powerful. Li Zhenguo did not tell Wang Biao the truth because he was reluctant to reveal Chen Hao¡¯s true identity. However, this had caused a huge misunderstanding among the staff. ¡°Yes. I came for a trip!¡± Chen Hao nodded and smiled bitterly. Wu Qian and the others were surprised. What¡¯s going on? He knew Chen Hao? ¡°Hmph! Have you guys finished? I don¡¯t care! You hit me, I¡¯ll hit you back!¡± Lin Yue was still in rage. Smack! She was pped to the ground by Wang Biao as soon as she walked toward him. ¡°Continue the beating!¡± With Chen Hao covering his back, Wang Biao continued his beating without much consideration; of course, he first looked for a hint from Chen Hao before he made any move. Since Chen Hao avoided his look, it meant Chen Hao approved of his decision to beat those people up. The staff, however, were very concerned about the chaos. Wang Biao walked toward Chen Hao politely. ¡°Young Master Chen, you should have told me when you came and I would have been here to show you around in person so that you don¡¯t have to go through all the trouble to call President Li.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. It was an unexpected incident anyway. I noticed that they can¡¯t get in and I don¡¯t want to stay outside and get sunburned, so I just sent for some people to get them in.¡± Chen Hao revealed the truth. ¡°What? Chen Hao, you were the one who got us in just now?¡± Wu Qian asked in disbelief. Wang Min was shocked too; everything seemed to be impossible, but judging from the interaction between Manager Wang Biao and Chen Hao, he did seem to have some excellent connections. Besides, the arrogant Wang Biao even addressed him as Young Master Chen with such respect! Suddenly, the girls changed the way they looked at Chen Hao. They did not pay any attention to him at first, but who would have thought that the true person who helped them in was him? On second thought, the person Yu Qiang looked for was Assistant Manager Wang, so how was it possible that in the end, it was the manager who politely arranged the trip for them? ¡°Young Master Chen¡­¡± Wang Biao hesitated to finish his sentence. ¡°Ah, Manager Wang, please return and wait for me in the office. I¡¯ll have a word with you,¡± Chen Hao interrupted him. ¡°Yes, of course, Young Master Chen!¡± Wang Biao said and left the ce with his men. Chen Hao knew what Wang Biao wanted to say and he finally realized the reason for the beautiful and grand decorations around the Hot Spring Scenic Zone. The next day¡¯s grand event¡ªhe guessed¡ª would most probably be his birthday party organized by Wang Biao on Li Zhenguo¡¯s order. This was probably the matter he wanted to confirm with Wang Biao but he could not do so in front of Wu Qian and the others. Chen Hao was about to leave after ncing at the miserable Lin Yue and Yu Qiang when Wu Qian stopped him. ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t go! Tell us what just happened!¡± Wu Qian said anxiously; her face turned pale. Like the other girls, Wu Qian had a notion that any single soul in the world¡ªeven animals like dogs¡ª could have some extraordinary abilities that would take people by surprise; anyone at all, except Chen Hao! Wu Qian would feel awful if the person was Chen Hao. How is it possible that Chen Hao, a person I¡¯ve always looked down on, be the one who knows a big character like Manager Wang? Why was that man calling Chen Hao, ¡®Young Master Chen¡¯? He¡¯s just a poor loser, isn¡¯t he? Why? Why? Maybe Chen Hao has truly be an incredible person? Wu Qian felt really awful as those thoughts crossed her mind. ¡°What do you want me to say?¡± Chen Hao asked inly. If it was not for the sake of Uncle Wu, do you think I, Chen Hao, wille here with you today? ¡°Tell me the truth. Why did that person call you Young Master Chen? He seems to be very afraid of you. What¡¯s your rtionship with him?¡± Wu Qian asked. ¡°All of you just have fun here today! And don¡¯t worry, you guys will not be turfed out of the zone! Don¡¯t ask things that you¡¯re not supposed to know!¡± Chen Hao warned Wu Qian before he turned and left. When Chen Hao walked past Wang Min, she nced at him with aplicated look in her eyes. It¡¯s unbelievable that he¡¯s such a capable man. He doesn¡¯t look like one. Wang Min shared the same thoughts and felt the same way as Wu Qian. In fact, she felt even worse than Wu Qian, which made her face blush in embarrassment. The most important question right now¡ªwhat is Chen Hao¡¯s This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. background? ¡°I don¡¯t believe it! I don¡¯t believe it at all! It can¡¯t be the loser who got us in here! It¡¯s Qiang! It¡¯s Qiang!¡± Lin Yue shouted. Yu Qiang gritted his teeth and rang his father immediately for a confirmation. In the end, it was confirmed that Assistant Manager Wang had yet to reply to his father on the matter. ¡°Damn it! What is Chen Hao¡¯s true identity anyway?¡± Wu Qian had lost her interest in conversing with the other people, so she followed Chen Hao out of the restaurant hastily. Chen Hao had reached Wang Biao¡¯s office where he found Wang Biao already waiting for him inside. ¡°Manager Wang, what is this event that you¡¯ll be having here in the scenic zone?¡± Chen Hao walked over and sat on the boss chair; he looked exhausted. Wang Biao hurried toward him with a ss of water. ¡°What? Young Master Chen, you don¡¯t know about it? Tomorrow¡¯s your birthday! It was President Li who ordered us to organize a party for you.¡± ¡°Well, there¡¯s no need for it to be so grand!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. So they¡¯re really organizing a party for me. Chen Hao appreciated Li Zhenguo¡¯s kindness. He understood that all Li Zhenguo wanted was for him to have a merry and morous birthday celebration. However, Chen Hao thought that having a simple meal with about twenty close friends would be enough to celebrate his birthday. But Chen Hao could not say anything anymore since they had finished setting up everything. He just came to Wang Biao¡¯s office for a rest and to keep himself cool with the air-conditioning in the office; he felt worn out after carrying so many bags. Whereas Wang Biao stayed beside him quietly, not daring to move a muscle without Chen Hao¡¯s orders. Bang! Suddenly, the door was pushed open violently by someone. ¡°Chen Hao, I just need you to tell me the truth! Why do you need to lie to me anyway? Come on, spill it out! What¡¯s all this about? What happened?¡± It was a girl at the door; naturally it was Wu Qian, who had followed Chen Hao all the way from the restaurant. Wu Qian saw everything clearly through the window outside. She saw Chen Hao marching toward the boss chair and sat on it while the guy stood waiting at his side. Damn it! Wu Qian was very anxious, eager to know about the truth. Chapter 287 The Reporting of the Two Newcomers Chapter 287 The Reporting of the Two Neers ¡°Damn it, Wu Qian, you are so irritating. What are you doing?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but say as he jumped in shock. ¡°What tone is that, Chen Hao? I¡¯m just concerned about you. I know you hit the lottery, but I don¡¯t know how much you got. I just want to tell you that people like you are very simple. In society, you are equal to a fool, so even if yound in a lot of money, you still need to be careful so as not to fall into others¡¯ traps, or else you¡¯ll still end up poor!¡± Wu Qian scolded. It was true; if Chen Hao received arge sum of money, he might need to invest in the scenic spot. Wu Qian could not think of any other likelihood. On top of that, he felt very ufortable on the inside. After she finished scolding, Wu Qian left the ce, full of anger. ¡°This little girl, if she knew who I really am, that would be a disaster.¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. He let Wang Biao get back to work as he threw a nce around his office; Chen Hao was also nning to leave. He definitely wouldn¡¯t be with Wu Qian, and she didn¡¯t want to be with him now anyway. Right at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door. ¡°Assistant Manager Wang, I¡¯ve brought the neers to report to you.¡± It was a clear and beautiful female voice. The moment he heard the female voice, Chen Hao was slightly startled. Then, he said, ¡°Come in.¡± The door opened slowly with a click and a girl with long hair and a good figure walked in. She was dressed in office wear and had a document folder in her arms, and behind her was another simrly beautiful girl. ¡°Manager Wang, I am¡­¡± The first girl took the initiative to introduce herself, but when she saw the person in front of her properly and was about to continue speaking, the words were stuck in her throat. When Chen Hao saw the two people in front of him, he had an embarrassed expression. ¡°Y-Young Master Chen, it¡¯s you! I-I didn¡¯t know that you would be here.¡± The girl suddenly blushed and bowed her head, ashamed; she didn¡¯t dare to look at Chen Hao¡¯s face. ¡°Xueqing and Shihan? Why are you in Xiao Quan City? Weren¡¯t you in Ping An County?¡± The girls before him were obviously Jiang Xueqing and Li Shihan, which caused Chen Hao some embarrassment. The time when he discovered the unworthy workers in thepany, Jiang Xueqing had learned of his identity. Meanwhile, Li Shihan saw the sales document and learned of his identity. Previously, something had happened between him and Jiang Xueqing and Li Shihan. However, back during high school days, he was very close to both girls. For him, Jian Xueqing even fought with Li Wenyang who always beat and bullied Chen Hao. The truth was that his high school days were dark, but because of Jiang Xueqing and Li Shihan, Chen Hao quite enjoyed his high school life. Although many people looked down on him, there were still people who treated him sincerely. This was also why even after so much had happened, Chen Hao was still sentimental toward the two girls. Although they no longer had the rtionship they used to have, Chen Hao was not being too unkind. N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Young Master Chen, I¡¯m now working in the Human Resources Department now. Shihan just joined thepany. And since tomorrow is your birthday, thepany sent over a few good-looking girls to escort you.¡± Right, Jiang Xueqing and Li Shihan even knew when Chen Hao¡¯s birthday was. However, he felt that something was weird. ¡°So that¡¯s the case. Uh, Wang Biao went to decorate the venue.¡± Chen Hao could not stay lying down, so he stood up to speak to them; the atmosphere was very awkward. ¡°Oh right, Shihan, why are you looking for a job? What about Ding Hao?¡± Chen Hao asked. Although Chen Hao and Li Shihan had a history, all that was in the past and there were no more feelings. ¡°When Ding Hao found out that you are Young Master Chen, he was so shocked that he didn¡¯t leave the house for a few days. Besides, he knows of our previous rtionship. Therefore¡­¡± Li Shihan could not continue with her exnation. From the looks of it, the matter of Li Shihaning looking for a job was somewhat rted to him. Chen Hao smiled, embarrassed, then said, ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect the both of you to spend my birthday with me, I¡¯m embarrassed to do that. Haha,e to think about it, the best birthday I had during high school was in the canteen.¡± When Li Shihan and Jiang Xueqing heard this, they remembered the incident too. During their high school days, nobody wanted to hang out with Chen Hao, and nobody cared about his birthday. During the summer holiday after the university entrance exam, when they went back to school to get their high school certificates, that day happened to be Chen Hao¡¯s birthday. So, Li Shihan suggested to Jiang Xueqing that they celebrate his birthday at the canteen. At that time, the Sophomore military training had already started. Li Shihan and Jiang Xueqing¡ªChen Lin too, because Chen Lin had a good rtionship with Li Shihan¡ªhalf-heartedly celebrated Chen Hao¡¯s birthday. They even bought Chen Hao quite a big birthday cake. That was the first time in his life that Chen Hao ate cake. He was very touched; so, he affirmed Li Shihan and Jiang Xueqing as his friends. But after that¡­ Everybody knew what happened. When university started, Chen Hao stayed in contact with Li Shihan and Jiang Xueqing. However, they eventually stopped replying to his messages. Two yearster, Chen Hao saw Li Shihan at Jin Ling; he was very happy. Li Shihan admitted to herself that she would never forget the moment she bumped into Chen Hao. He really wanted to talk to her, but she thought that he was embarrassing and so she tried to avoid him. Later, she humiliated him over and over again. There were even a few times when she went over the line, and even physically harmed him. However, Chen Hao still helped her and didn¡¯t hate her. It was only after she went overboard that Chen Hao slowly became cold toward her. As for Jiang Queqing, when she met Chen Hao, the truth was that she looked down on him. Because she was trying to be polite, she entertained and joked with him. However, Chen Hao actually thought that she was sincere. He even invited her to attend a student gathering together as his partner. The fact was she already had ns with Li Wenyang that day. So, for the whole day, Jiang Xueqing felt uneasy, because Li Wenyang had beaten Chen Hao up badly in school and Chen Hao didn¡¯t dare to retaliate. The worst was when he used a stool to smash Chen Hao¡¯s back on a podium; he was Chen Hao¡¯s sworn enemy. As Chen Hao¡¯s previous friend, she unexpectedly had such a good rtionship with Li Wenyang; Chen Hao was so disappointed back then. Now that they knew that Chen Hao was the super wealthy Young Master Chen, Li Shihan and Jiang Xueqing were exceptionally ashamed. Both of them happened to think at the same time that Chen Hao had changed, that he was not the old Chen Hao anymore. However, the reality was that Chen Hao was still the old Chen Hao; he never changed, but the ones who did change were them. Chapter 288 An Encounter with Someone of the Jiang Family Chapter 288 An Encounter with Someone of the Jiang Family ¡°Chen Hao, sorry¡­¡± Li Shihan and Jiang Xueqing said at the same time. They both looked ashamed. ¡°It''s nothing!¡± Chen Hao merely smiled faintly. Although Chen Hao treated them well now, the truth was that their rtionship was nothingpared to what it used to be. Now, Chen Hao only treated them as acquaintances, nothing else. Li Shihan and Jiang Xueqing understood Chen Hao¡¯s hidden meaning. Yes, they could never go back to what they used to be. In their hearts, they felt pain; if only they maintained their rtionship with Chen Hao, their situation today would be great. After that, Chen Hao did not say much to them anymore. Seeing that it was already the afternoon, he decided to get ready to leave. By the time he was ready to leave, Wu Qian, that crazy girl was missing. She must have left a long time ago. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t possibly walk home, so he drove one of thepany¡¯s Audi A6 home. Once he reached the door, Chen Hao bumped into another familiar face. The person was a girl holding a bag and looked like she was trying to hail a taxi. As a matter of fact, the girl was none other than Wang Min. Chen Hao had his window down. Just as he was about to wind it back up and leave, Wang Min saw him. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Wang Min shouted Chen Hao¡¯s name; it was toote for Chen Hao to escape. Honestly, Chen Hao didn¡¯t have a good impression of this girl. They were supposed to go on a blind date, but because she disliked him, she let her younger sister rece her; this was a great insult to him. That was why, from the very beginning, Chen Hao never took the initiative to speak a single sentence to her. ¡°Is there something you need?¡± Chen Hao asked coldly when he saw Wang Min walk toward his car. ¡°Thank you for today. If it wasn¡¯t not for you, we wouldn¡¯t have gone out and had fun today. Those were my colleagues and some of them have already left.¡± At that point, there was a girl standing next to Wang Min. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s alright, you don¡¯t have to thank me. If it were for me to make the decision, I wouldn¡¯t have let you guys in. It was Yu Qiang who let you people in!¡± Chen Hao chuckled internally; he didn¡¯t care about giving this girl any face. Therefore, he talked enigmatically and without reserve. Wang Min looked embarrassed. She knew very clearly that because of that blind date, there was a chasm between Chen Hao and her. What she did had indeed crossed the line and she felt guilty. Originally, there was no need for her to greet Chen Hao and humiliate herself. As a stranger, wasn¡¯t it alright if they didn¡¯t speak? Wasn¡¯t that what she wanted? But after what happened just now, the situation had changed. Wang Min was unwilling to let the matter pass just like this. The way she thought was like a lot of other girls. You are nothing but a guy that I looked down on and skipped over. If you spend the rest of your life in mediocrity, aplishing nothing, and doing nothing, I would be very happy. However, of all the things that could have happened, he had to be a guy that I rejected who turned out to be this powerful. This was difficult for her to ept, which was why when she saw Chen Hao driving the Audi without the intention of greeting her, Wang Min felt unpleasant. ¡°About that incident, I apologize to you. It was my fault,¡± Wang Min said as she bit her lips. ¡°There is no need to apologize. The truth is that there is no rtionship between us. If there is nothing you want, I will leave now,¡± Chen Hao said lightly. He then stepped on the gas pedal and sped away. Wang Min felt embarrassed and angry; this was the first time ever in her life to be ignored by another guy like this. She was so anxious that the rims of her eyes were turning red. The issue was that he had be capable, so capable that he no longer cared to spare her the slightest bit of attention. As he passed by the center of Xiao Quan City and Xiao Gu town, Chen Hao noticed something odd; he noticed that there were an unusually great number of luxurious cars in the small town, especially in front of the hotels. Chen Hao didn¡¯t think much of it. At this point of time, his phone rang. He looked down and discovered that it was Aunt Wu. ¡°Aunt Wu, what is it?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Hao, where are you? I just saw Wu Qian driving back here alone and she looked unhappy. Did you two have a fight? Did she leave you alone?¡± Aunt Wu asked, sounding concerned. ¡°No, it¡¯s nothing. I just drove my friend¡¯s car back. I¡¯m on the way now,¡± Chen Hao said to keep Aunt Wu from worrying too much. ¡°That¡¯s good. Oh, that¡¯s right. On your way back from town, can you buy me a bag of rice? So we can ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . save Uncle Wu a trip,¡± Aunt Wu said. ¡°No problem!¡± Chen Hao found a nearby supermarket and went in to buy two bags of rice, peanut oil and such-like. Speaking of which, after he came back, he gave Uncle Wu money but he refused. So, the least he could do was to buy Uncle Wu these daily necessities. Therefore, he ran a few rounds and even bought a few boxes of milk and good wine, Eight Treasure Congee, and other products. He opened the trunk and stuffed it until it was full. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± On hisst trip, Chen Hao was carrying a high pressure cooker and walking out of the supermarket when suddenly, the door of the hotel next door opened, and a girl shouted unexpectedly. Chen Hao turned his head to look. ¡°Damn, Jiang Ranran, why did youe to our town?¡± The girl before him was really Jiang Ranran. Chen Hao really didn¡¯t expect this after what happened at the Jiang residence thest time. Chen Hao thought that they wouldn''t meet again. After all, Chen Hao was bitterly disappointed. Even that time when something happened to Jiang Weidong and he knew that his father always reminded him to help, but he did not bother to reach out a hand. When Jiang Ranran called him, he didn¡¯t even answer her call, which was what made the meeting even more awkward. ¡°Yes, we just reached here. I was about to go and buy something and didn¡¯t expect to see you here.¡± Jiang Ranran was still friendly to Chen Hao. She even walked over and obviously wanted to chat with him. ¡°We? Who else?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°My parents, and also my father¡¯s colleagues areing too,¡± Jiang Ranran said in a low voice. ¡°Oh?¡± Chen Hao nodded. What was so fun about this little town? Why did so many peoplee here to enjoy themselves? However, Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to chat with Jiang Ranran anymore, so he didn¡¯t ask further. ¡°Yeah, Chen Hao, do you still live at home?¡± Jiang Ranran asked. ¡°Uh huh, where else would I stay?¡± ¡°Uh, speaking of that, I¡¯ve never been to your house. When we were young, you always came over to my house,¡± Jiang Ranran said with a smile. ¡°Alright, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll make a move first. I have to rush home to cook.¡± Chen Hao deviated from Jiang Ranran¡¯s topic of conversation. Jiang Ranran could tell that Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to chat with her. However, the more Chen Hao wanted to ignore her, the more she wanted to chat with him. She thought, Am I, Jiang Ranran, not worth anything to you? ¡°That¡¯s right, Chen Hao, your electric pressure cooker has only one cable. Why not buy another one just in case? The electricity supply in the vige is unstable and cases of burnt cables aremon,¡± Jiang Ranran added. ¡°I overlooked this. Thank you!¡± Chen Hao smiled and thought that it would have been great if only Jiang Ranran behaved like this back then. Immediately, he turned around to go back to buy the cable. ¡°Hey, why don¡¯t you put the cooker into the car and I¡¯ll buy the cable for you.¡± As soon as Jiang Ranran said this, she walked into the supermarket. Not long after that, she walked out again with a cable for Chen Hao. ¡°Ran, what are you doing?¡± Suddenly, a middle aged person¡¯s voice could be hearding from the door of the hotel. Chapter 289 The Day Before the Birthday Feast Chapter 289 The Day Before the Birthday Feast A middle aged couple, along with another middle aged couple and a teenager walked over. They coincidentally caught sight of Jiang Ranran talking to Chen Hao. Then and there, the leading middle aged person called out to her coldly and walked over right away. Naturally, this middle-aged person was Jiang Weidong. ¡°Dad, what are you doing? I¡¯m helping Cheng Hao buy some things,¡± Jiang Ranran said ruefully. ¡°What? You are even buying things for him? Hmph! I wouldn¡¯t even give the things that I have to throw away to him!¡± Jiang Weidong snatched the cable and threw it onto the ground. Last time, Jiang Weidong humbled himself and asked Chen Hao for help in making connections. However, Chen Hao didn¡¯t entertain him at all; that pissed Jiang Weidong off right away. ¡°That¡¯s right, Ran, didn¡¯t I tell you to stop talking to him? What is it with you, child? Don¡¯t you remember?¡± Tang Lan said as she walked over and threw a look of disdain at Chen Hao. ¡°Uncle Jiang, who is this?¡± the teenager asked as he approached them. ¡°He¡¯s the son of somebody I used to know in this town of Xiao Gu,¡± Jiang Weidong said with a faint smile. ¡°Jiang, why does it look like you have a misunderstanding with the young man?¡± said another middle aged person. They were all there for a group tour. Other than that, they had another goal and that was to matchmake their kids. Now he saw that Ran and this young stranger were fond of each other and noticed that his son was concerned about this, that was why the middle-aged person asked the question. ¡°Hehe, Director Wang, this is more than a simple misunderstanding. This person has no manners at all. Thest time Jiang went looking for him for help, he immediately ran away and we ended up making the trip in vain,¡± Tang Lan said angrily. ¡°Hmph, Ran, go back. Next time, if I catch you speaking to these worthless people, don¡¯t me me for getting angry at you!¡± Jiang Weidong reprimanded coldly. As soon as he said this, he stepped on the cable that Jiang Ranran just bought, which was on the ground. ¡°Mr. Jiang!¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but open his mouth at this time. Of course, this Chen Hao would no longer call him ¡®uncle¡¯ or any other simr terms. ¡°Hmph, what is it?¡± Jiang Weidong said coldly. ¡°Previously, I donated half a million to you as a favor. If you treat me like this and the word gets out, the effect on you might not be good. Other than that, Aunty Tang said thatst time you looked for me, the trip was in vain. Did you, Mr. Jiang, forget that the year I was entering high school, my dad and I waited for three or four hours below your house just to see you? But at the end of the wait, you got rid of us with a single sentence. So what¡¯s this? Now that you took the trip in vain, it had be my fault?¡± Chen Hao retorted. ¡°Hmph, what do you mean? Jiang was busy and didn¡¯t have the time to entertain you and your father. Looking at the situation now, the choice to ignore you at that time was right. You are useless!¡± Tang Lan scolded. ¡°Hmm, this misunderstanding is really inconvenient. At first, I thought this vige boy could take us sightseeing and be our tour guide. Looking at the situation now, that is not an option.¡± The teenager smiled with a hint of scorn. ¡°Be our guide? With our status, even if we were to hire someone, it would be a professional. Hmph!¡± When another woman saw how much Tang Lan and Jiang Weidong hated this person, she started hating him and talking to him with a harsh attitude too. Chen Hao did not get angry. Instead, he smiled lightly. ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll talk about this another time, Mr. Jiang. See you again!¡± Then, Chen Hao drove away immediately. The moment Chen Hao sped away, the teenager realized that the Audi A6 actually belonged to Chen Hao. ¡°Damn, that guy drives such a luxurious car?¡± The teenager was shocked. He really didn¡¯t expect that to have ridiculed Chen Hao just now when he himself could not even afford an Audi. ¡°What¡¯s so great about that? One look and you¡¯ll know that it¡¯s second-hand. Based on my estimation, he won¡¯t be able to afford a new one now. Seeing him really affected our mood,¡± Tan Lan said. ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s not talk about him anymore.¡± Jiang Weidong snorted. By the time Chen Hao worked through his frustration, he had already reached home. When he was at the front of his house, he noticed that there were many cars stopped in front of Uncle Wu¡¯s house. It seemed like his eldest, second and third brother were all back. Chen Hao honked a few times; he wanted help moving all the things. Coincidentally, there were a few people standing in the yard. When they saw the Audi, they all stood up to look out of curiosity. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu also came out soon. When Chen Hao opened the car door, they were all surprised. ¡°Chen Hao? Why are you driving an Audi?¡± Uncle Wu''s first daughter-inw, Luo Ning, was stunned. If that Audi really belonged to him, that would make him even better off than her own son! ¡°Huh, look at this Audi, it looks like a second-hand car.¡± Wu Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t look too good either. He drove a car that cost only two hundred thousand and Chen Hao was now driving an A6, so of course that made him feel uneasy, which was why he said that. He even kicked the Audi¡¯s tyres a few times. With a look that suggested that he was experienced in this matter, he added, ¡°Don¡¯t be too excited. There are many of these second-hand cars that are refurbished as new cars. If you find someone you know, you can get one for only over a hundred thousand. Once, my friend advised me to buy a second-hand Audi to drive because it¡¯ll look good, but I refused to. Hehe, only poor people need to drive cars like these to show off.¡± ¡°Yes, Feng is right. Only rich bosses can drive Audis,¡± chimed in another teenager, whose name was Wu Jie; it seemed like he was finally back home. ¡°You all have misunderstood this, this is not my car. I borrowed it for a few days.¡± Chen Hao smiled faintly. ¡°Huh, I thought you made a lot of money and bought yourself a car. So it turns out that it was borrowed!¡± Uncle Wu''s daughter-inws rxed and smiled with contempt. Chen Hao looked around and didn¡¯t see Wu Qian. He didn¡¯t know why she wasn¡¯t there but he didn¡¯t pursue the topic. ¡°Uncle Wu, I bought these things for you. Let¡¯s move it all in.¡± Chen Hao looked at Uncle Wu. ¡°Goodness, why did you spend so much again? You bought so many things!¡± Aunt Wu said angrily. She used Chen Hao of wasting money. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. All these are daily necessities and didn¡¯t cost much. You can use this high pressure cooker to stew some pork bone soup to drink. It¡¯s good for your health.¡± Chen Hao smiled. As for the mockings that the others had for him, Chen Hao ignored them all. ¡°Huh, what brand is this high pressure cooker? How much did you spend?¡± Sun Hongxia, Uncle Wu''s second daughter-inw took a look and questioned him with a sour expression. ¡°Not much. Slightly over five hundred,¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Erhem, then this cooker is nothingpared to the ones Wu Feng got from hispany. That cooker cost us nothing at all since he got it from his workce in a public institution. Things that you don¡¯t This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. have to spend on are nicer to use!¡± Zhang Xiqi, Uncle Wu''s third daughter-inw, was showing off now about Wu Feng. ¡°Wu Qian is not bad either. She brings back these peanut oil, squid, fish and other stuff. Thepany gives those products out once every two months. We can¡¯t finish them and they¡¯re all piled up at our home! Why pay for these things? It¡¯s too much!¡± Sun Hongxia was not backing off either. ¡°That¡¯s right, Qian¡¯s colleague invited her for dinner tonight. She would have someone treating her to dinner almost everyday, so she barely eats at home anymore, which was why we don¡¯t need all these¡­¡± The group of people started chirping away; nobody came over to help Chen Hao move the things. In the end, it was Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu who helped him to move the things into the house. ¡°Oh, right¡­¡± It was only after they entered the house when Chen Hao remembered that he had something to tell them. Chapter 290 Chen Hao’s Birthday Chapter 290 Chen Hao¡¯s Birthday ¡°Right, tomorrow is my birthday, but I won¡¯t be spending it at home. I made a reservation at a restaurant. Do you have the time to attend?¡± Chen Hao asked. In the past years, it was always Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu who celebrated his birthdays with him, so naturally, this year was no exception. But out of habit, Chen Hao still had to invite them. ¡°Ahem, we don¡¯t have the time. Tomorrow, Wu Feng and the rest are working. We don¡¯t have the time to celebrate your birthday with you,¡± Zhang Xiqi said lightly. ¡°Exactly. Furthermore, Chen Hao, if you want to celebrate your birthday, just eat at home. Why did you have to go ahead and celebrate in a hotel? Really, are you forgetting who you really are just after you got yourself a little extra money?¡± Sun Hongxia said coldly too. Chen Hao used to be poor and everybody looked down on him; but now that he was suddenly rich, they had trouble epting it, which was why they were meaner than they used to be. ¡°We are all busy. If you want to celebrate then celebrate it yourself,¡± said Uncle Wu''s sons. Suddenly, the eldest son received a phone call. ¡°Hi, how are you, President Wang? What? Congrattions! Alright, the day after tomorrow, our whole family will definitely be there. No, we¡¯re not busy at all. We should be able toplete everything by tomorrow, and then we¡¯ll be free. Haha!¡± The eldest son finished speaking and happily hung up the phone. ¡°What is it?¡± Luo Ning asked. ¡°The day after tomorrow is President Wang¡¯s eight-years-old son¡¯s birthday. He wants me to go. We will definitely be there!¡± ¡°Huh? But, don¡¯t you have an important Chamber of Commerce meeting to attend?¡± ¡°Huh, I¡¯ll reschedule that. It¡¯s President Wang¡¯s son¡¯s birthday. I will have to reschedule everything,¡± the eldest son said emotionally. ¡°Uncles, let¡¯s eat first. Tomorrow, I have something to do, so I have to rest earlier tonight. I have to do some nning because Section Manager Jiang will be taking a look at our work tomorrow,¡± said Wu Feng at this point; he was a man of a governmental organization, so of course he would have something to work on the next day. ¡°Hasn¡¯t Section Manager Jiang arrived already? I thought you were going to treat him to a meal tonight? Although he is now a section manager, he used to be a powerful character. He has a lot of connections in Ping An County!¡± chimed in the third brother with some pride. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that he¡¯s not free tonight. His schedule has been fully packed since a long time ago.¡± Everybody started talking one after another. Based on the conversation, Chen Hao guessed that this Section Manager Chief should be Jiang Weidong, but he did not say anything. Since everybody was busy, Chen Hao didn¡¯t insist on the invitation; it was alright because everybody was busy. After a quick word in Uncle Wu¡¯s house, Chen Hao soon left because Su Tongxin had given him a call. N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Chen Hao, happy birthday!¡± said Su Tongxin from the other end of the call. ¡°It¡¯s not my birthday yet. Why are you wishing me happy birthday so early?¡± Chen Hao smiled and said as hey on his bed. ¡°I¡¯m greeting you now, and I¡¯ll greet you again at midnight. This is what happens when I can¡¯t be back home. Right, Chen Hao, in two days¡¯ time when you¡¯re free, can youe to me? I am now at the television station. Today, I¡¯ve be a new trainee reporter. I can finally do what I want to do!¡± announced Su Tongxin happily. Su Tongxin had told Chen Hao about the matter of her applying to be a trainee reporter before this. Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect her to have passed the exam, but he was quite happy for her. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll meet you in two days¡¯ time for a proper celebration!¡± replied Chen Hao with a smile on his face. ¡°Alright, but nothing is certain yet. I have a little holiday in a few days¡¯ time and we¡¯ll see then. How do you n to spend your birthday tomorrow?¡± Chen Hao and Su Tongxin then continued chatting about his birthday. After they finished chatting, Su Tongxin wanted to shower, so she hung up the phone. As soon as the line disconnected, his phone rang again. This time, it was Qin Ya who had called. ¡°Chen Hao, isn¡¯t it your birthday tomorrow?¡± asked Qin Ya as soon as the line connected. Chen Hao grunted. ¡°Huh, why didn¡¯t you call me over? I¡¯ve been waiting the whole day today for your call. If it wasn¡¯t for me calling you now, I¡¯m sure you wouldn¡¯t have bothered to ring me up. You¡¯ve forgotten about me, haven¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m in my hometown, so there will only be a simple celebration,¡± Chen Hao exined. The truth was that Chen Hao really didn¡¯t n on spending time with Qin Ya, even though he knew that Qin Ya treated him very well; Chen Hao only wanted to be with Su Tongxin now. He wouldn¡¯t want to be with anyone else, so to keep his rtion with Qin Ya ambiguous like this would be an inconvenience. On top of that, something happened between him and Qin Ya at his ce previously, which was why Chen Hao didn¡¯t feel that it was appropriate for her toe over to his ce again. ¡°No matter if you¡¯re inviting me or not, I will be over at your ce tomorrow! Unless, if you say that we are no longer friends!¡± In a room of a mansion, Qin Ya leaned against the headboard of her bed and was talking on the In the end, Chen Hao helplessly nodded his head and agreed. Then, he gave an excuse of being busy and then hung up the phone. ¡°Huh, son of a b*tch, why is he so heartless toward me!¡± said Qin Ya as she put down the phone with a slightly disappointed expression. Initially, she thought that Chen Hao would take the initiative and call her over, but he didn¡¯t do it. If she didn¡¯t make the phone call just now, he would not have called her at all. Over this period of time, she would sometimes look for Chen Hao for a chat. Each time, he was cold and would only answer with short and simple replies, which made Qin Ya feel ufortable; the more ufortable she felt, the more she thought of it. Dong, dong, dong¡­ At this time, the doorbell of her room sounded. ¡°Ya, are you asleep? Your dad and I have something we want to talk to you about,¡± Qin Ya¡¯s parents asked. ¡°Dad, mum, I¡¯m not asleep. Both of youe right in.¡± Next, her parents walked in. However, Qin Ya¡¯s father¡¯s face at that time was gloomy. ¡°Ya, this is something that we know you don¡¯t want to hear. However, the Qin family in Yan Jing city is family in Yan Jing. There really is no other way. Last time, Young Master Chen Hao helped us to solve our economic problem. However, the Qin Family is exerting pressure and we really have no choice. We cannot keep asking Young Master Chen Hao for help. So, what do you think about marrying into the Long family?¡± Qin Ya¡¯s father asked. Qin Ya¡¯s mother also sighed and said, ¡°Although that year we had already broken off our rtionship with the Qin family, they still have a lot of influence over us. Don¡¯t me your dad because he has no choice. He has to think for the sake of thepany, your uncles and all of the employees in our family.¡± ¡°Dad, can¡¯t you think of any other way? We can still beg Chen Hao for help and I¡¯m sure that he will definitely help me!¡± Qin Ya replied with her eyes red. Qin Ya¡¯s father sighed. ¡°Hmm, although Young Master Chen Hao is indeed very powerful, the Jin Ling Commercial Group only has influence within Jin Ling city. But over there in Yan Jing city, the Qin and Long family haverge enterprises too!¡± Her father then added, ¡°On top of that, the three young masters from the Long family mighte here tomorrow. You stay at home and get ready. Just meet them. If your impression of them is terrible, it still won¡¯t be toote to think of another solution!¡± ¡°No way, I¡¯m busy tomorrow. It¡¯s Chen Hao¡¯s birthday and I want to celebrate it with him!¡± Qin Ya answered angrily. ¡°No way, you are not going anywhere. Don¡¯t cause Young Master Chen Hao anymore trouble over this matter. Why can¡¯t you be a little more understanding, girl?¡± With that, Qin Ya¡¯s father dragged Qin Ya¡¯s mother out of the room right away. Qin Ya was so anxious that she was about to cry... Back to Chen Hao¡¯s side, he woke up at a little past six o¡¯clock in the morning the next day. Last night, he gave Li Zhenguo a call. Since they might arrive early, Chen Hao decided to tidy up his house first, since they were going to celebrate his twenty-second birthday. At this moment, a girl entered the house from the door. ¡°Chen Hao, my mum told me that you were back a long time ago. I¡¯ve looked for you a few times, but you weren¡¯t home every time I came over.¡± Chapter 291 Junior High School Friends Chapter 291 Junior High School Friends ¡°Li Xiaoling?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw the girl. Li Xiaoling grew up with Chen Hao, Li Xiao, and the rest of them. Come to think about it, she was probably from the same Li n as Li Xiao, so she was practically his sister. However, Li Xiaoling came from a family that was reasonably well off; her family owned shops in the town, selling cakes and pastry, which was why she often stayed in town and rarely went back home. On top of that, at that time, Chen Hao and Li Xiao were both poor, so they didn¡¯t dress well. Therefore, Li Xiao rarely hung out with Chen Hao and Li Xiao. Although they were ssmates in elementary school, they rarely talked with each other. As a result, she was not that close with the both of them, unlike Wu Qian. It was during their junior high school years when they got close with each other. Coincidentally, Li Xiaoling ended up in the same ss as Li Xiao and Chen Hao. During the first and second year of junior high school, she didn¡¯t talk much to Chen Hao and Li Xiao, but in their third year, something happened. Li Xiaoling quarelled with another girl, and the quarrel was very heated. Then, that girl asked a few hooligans from their year to cause Li Xiaoling trouble; after school, they blocked Li Xiaoling on her way back home and wanted to teach her a lesson. When Li Xiao and Chen Hao saw this, they pulled Li Xiaoling away. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t really well-known at that time, but Li Xiao was known for fighting in school, which was why that group of people didn¡¯t dare to do anything to Li Xiaoling. So, that was how they rescued Li Xiaoling. Since then, Li Xiaoling treated Chen Hao and Li Xiao very well and they became friends; she even secretly bought Li Xiao cigarettes and brought steamed sponge cakes for Chen Hao to eat. For her high school years, she entered No. 3 High School, which was the school that was ranked the lowest in the entire county. Besides, during their high school days, they didn¡¯t own cell phones. As a result, they couldn¡¯t contact each other very often; all they could do was to gather during Chinese New Year for chit-chats. ¡°When did you get back? And why didn¡¯t you send me a QQ message?¡± Li Xiaoling said grudgingly. ¡°I¡¯ve been back for a few days, but I¡¯ve been wandering around in town. I was about to ask Li Xiao for your phone number,¡± Chen Hao replied with a smile. This was the truth; these were the people who were going to spend his birthday with him. ¡°Hmph, at least you didn¡¯t forget me. Oh right, haven¡¯t you been reading the group chat messages for our junior high school gang? Uh, I forgot, you aren¡¯t in the group, are you? Today is our ssmate Chen Chao¡¯s birthday. He realized that our ss had not gathered in a long time. Therefore, he wants to use his birthday as an opportunity for everyone to gather. Also, our junior high school ss teacher and the English teacher will be there. Will you apany me?¡± asked Li Xiaoling. ¡°Mr. Wang will be there too? I thought he retired this year?¡± Li Xiaoling mentioned Chen Chao, but Chen Hao had nearly forgotten that name. On the other hand, Chen Hao still had fresh memories of the ss teacher, Mr. Wang Changgui; he was an especially kind teacher that taught Mandarin. At that time, Chen Hao¡¯s family was poor and he couldn¡¯t afford to pay for the textbooks. Twice, Mr. Wang forked out his own money to pay for Chen Hao. There was another time when it was raining heavily and Chen Hao didn¡¯t have an umbre, so Mr. Wang sent him home in his car. These scenes were still fresh in his memory. During his first two years in university, every time his parents sent him money, Chen Hao would save some money so that he could buy something, no matter if it was expensive or not, as gifts for Mr. Wang when he went back home for Chinese New Year. However, during the next two years of university, he had problems even with paying his school fees. He was financially difficult during that time, which was why he could no longer afford to do so. ¡°I heard that Mr. Wang got seriously illst year. Is he alright?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°He recovered a long time ago. Otherwise, how would he attend Chen Chao¡¯s birthday feast?¡± Li Xiaoling continued, ¡°Don¡¯t ask anymore. When you show up you will find out. Mr. Wang spoke greatly of you and Li Xiao, so if you go, he will definitely be very happy. Speaking of which, we must meet at eight o¡¯clock. Mr. Wang will definitely go there early because he wants to spend more time chatting with us.¡± ¡°Oh that¡¯s good then. However, I have no time to attend this gathering,¡± Chen Hao said sadly. ¡°Huh? You¡¯re busy? Tsk, don¡¯t worry. This time, Chen Chao will be paying for the feast. Even if we were to pay separately, you can still rely on me.¡± It was as if Li Xiaoling could see through Chen Hao¡¯s thoughts. But of course, this wasn¡¯t about money; it was because Chen Hao wanted to celebrate his own birthday. Li Xiaoling probably would not have minded if he rejected her invitation, but the problem was that since she had already informed him about the party, he would feel bad not attending the party knowing that Mr. Wang would be there also. ¡°Yes, I really don¡¯t have time today. I originally wanted to invite you to celebrate my birthday with me,¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°What about this? What if I go and show my face, say a few words to Mr. Wang, then Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Huh? You want to celebrate your birthday? This is awkward... Alright, why don¡¯t we do it this way? We go together, say hi to Mr. Wang and the rest, chat for a little, and then we¡¯ll bothe back and celebrate your birthday. What about Li Xiao? Have you informed him?¡± Li Xiaoling was quite loyal to her friend. ¡°I have informed him, but he¡¯ll only be here near noontime. He just started a business and has not had the time to recruit workers yet, so he¡¯s very busy,¡± Chen Hao answered. ¡°Okay then,¡± Li Xiaoling said. Then, she sighed and continued in an envious tone, ¡°Li Xiao has be quite the person nowadays. Last time, my dad looked down on his family, but just yesterday, my father brought presents to their house for them.¡±. Chen Hao didn¡¯t answer and only nodded his head. With their appointments scheduled, they noticed that it would be eight o¡¯clock soon. Chen Hao and Li Xiaoling then rushed to the restaurant in town. Chen Hao lived in an area in the middle of the town. Therefore, it was only a short distance to the town¡¯s main street, so the both of them walked there. By the time they arrived, there were quite a number of their ex-junior high school friends in front of the restaurant who were gathered around in groups and chatting away; when old ssmates gathered like this, they would surely have felt an indescribable sense of familiarity with each other as they talked about how they were doing ofte, or to reminisce about the past. ¡°Hey guys, look! Xiaoling is here!¡± Some of their ssmates pointed at Chen Hao and Li Xiaoling. ¡°Huh, that¡¯s Chen Hao? Damn, even Chen Hao is here today?¡± ¡°Hahaha, yes. I thought Chen Hao disappeared. I didn¡¯t think that we''d see him at this gathering.¡± Someone else sighed and chimed in, ¡°I heard that Chen Hao had a hard time in university. He couldn¡¯t even pay for his school fees. Someone told me that once, he went to Jin Ling to eat with his friends and bumped into Chen Hao, who was doing the dishes in the back of the kitchen. He couldn¡¯t even bring himself to say ¡®Hi¡¯!¡± ¡°Hehe, since he had no money, he¡¯d have to do any job.¡± When everybody saw Chen Hao, they started giggling and chatting with each other. Among them was a girl who looked exceptionally graceful, who was chatting with a few other girls. She heard someone talking about Chen Hao, so she gave a slight shudder and turned to look at Chen Hao with a slight blush on her face. ¡°Hehe, Wang Xue, didn¡¯t you use to date Chen Hao? I remember that you used to date him!¡± a girl said as she covered her mouth. ¡°Nonsense. Since when did we date each other?¡± Wang Xue blushed even harder. The girl answered back, ¡°You two were definitely together. I remember that you two used to write letters to each other. Also, you and Chen Hao were pretty close with each other.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Wang Xue said softly. ¡°Admit it. Don¡¯t you remember the reason behind that incident where Li Xiao stabbed someone was because... Erhem. Okay I¡¯ll stop talking!¡± It was as if the girl realized that she brought up something bad, so she felt embarrassed and hurriedly shut up. Wang Xue didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°Oh yeah, Wang Xue. You and that guy Chen Hao, are you two still dating?¡± asked a girl. ¡°We haven¡¯t been with each other since a long time ago¡­¡± Wang Xue blushed. Then, along with the other girls, Wang Xue raised her head to look at Chen Hao, whom she had not seen in six years. Chapter 292 Memories of Junior High Chapter 292 Memories of Junior High When Chen Hao walked over, he greeted his ssmates one by one. But when he saw Wang Xue, he felt quite awkward. Yes, Wang Xue was Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend¡­ No, ¡®girlfriend¡¯ wasn¡¯t the correct term, but their rtionship was the type that was too ambiguous to be considered romantic or tonic. It was because of Wang Xue that Chen Hao was targeted by the school bully Liu Yang, who had also caught feelings for her. What happened next was no secret¡ªWang Xue and Liu Yang got together. On his way here, Chen Hao had been wondering if Wang Xue would also be present, and how awkward it would be if she really was. He did resent her a little, because after all the sacrifice he and Li Xiao made for her, she still got together with their greatest enemy; because of the incident, Li Xiao had given up on his studies in vain. But the real reason Chen Hao felt awkward was because he had no idea how he should treat her. Before that incident, the two had actually been on good terms; ever since that incident, the both of them never spoke to each other, which was strange. He¡¯d wanted revenge but on second thought, who Wang Xue dated was entirely her choice, so who was he to control that choice? That meant Liu Yang was the one who deserved his anger, so at the moment, Chen Hao chose to ignore Wang Xue. ¡°Hehe, how heartless of Chen Hao to not greet you. And have you noticed, Wang Xue? Chen Hao looks quite charismatic now! Handsome too, with those stylish clothes!¡± a girl teased. Wang Xue tidied up her stray strands of hair; it felt a little ufortable to hear someone else praising Chen Hao, because the guy was someone she¡¯d dumped after all. Now that things were going good for him, hearing that praise felt like a p to her face. So, all she did was reply, ¡°Mm hmm, he does look good!¡± ¡°Hey, our ss teacher and Miss Yang areing!¡± somebody yelled. A car stopped in front of them and shortly after, an old man who looked a little over sixty years old exited the car from the back seat¡ªN?velDrama.Org content. he was Mr. Wang Changgui, their ss teacher. The driver was a mature, attractive and charismatic young teacher who looked to be around 27 or 28 years old¡ªshe was their third-year English teacher, Miss Yang Ke. She was 22 when she taught Chen Hao¡¯s ss, the type who¡¯d just graduated from university. However, her young age and good looks had helped her bond with the ss quite well. Chen Hao merely nced at Yang Ke with no intention to greet her. But for Mr. Wang, he jogged over and immediately helped him out of the car. ¡°Is that you, Chen Hao?¡± When Mr. Wang saw Chen Hao, his wrinkled face immediately became surprised and overjoyed as he seized Chen Hao by elbow. ¡°Where have you been these two years, you silly boy?¡± he asked emotionally. To be honest, Mr. Wang had been so caring toward him and Li Xiao back then and Chen Hao had never forgotten his good deeds, so he hastily exined himself. ¡°Oh ho, what brings you here, Chen Hao? Look at you, all dressed up! What kind of job did you get, huh?¡± Meanwhile, Yang Ke¡¯s first interaction with Chen Hao after six long years was a dismissive nce and a sneer. What had happened back then was that Li Xiao had butted heads with her, and she¡¯d held a grudge against both him and Chen Hao ever since. Chen Hao had nothing to do with the incident but as the saying goes, ¡®the friend of my enemy, is also my enemy¡¯, so Yang Ke made both their lives difficult with everything she had, because of Chen Hao¡¯s close friendship with Li Xiao. How dare the ss¡¯ two poorest kids go against her like this? That was the reason Chen Hao gave her a nce and said nothing more. Just then, Mr. Wang said, ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re of drinking age now. Why don¡¯t you have a nice drink with me tonight?¡± ¡°Mr. Wang, wait¡­¡± Chen Hao began. ¡°Whoa, there¡¯s so many of you today! I feel so honored! Come,e. I¡¯ve decorated the ce, so why not we all continue this conversation in the private room?¡± Chen Chao said. When he saw Mr. Wang and Yang Ke, Chen Chao walked over and smiled. ¡°Mr. Wang, Miss Yang, why don¡¯t we go inside?¡± When he saw Chen Hao, Chen Chao looked surprised but simply gave a cursory greeting. ¡°Hmm? You¡¯re here too? That¡¯s okay, let¡¯s all go inside.¡± ¡°Xue,e over! Didn¡¯t you see our ss teacher is here?¡± Chen Chao called out to Wang Xue, then took her hand when she walked over. Some of the unknowing ssmates were shocked by this; Wang Xue was now dating Chen Chao? Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect it either. It felt even more awkward for him to stay, but he couldn¡¯t just leave now that Mr. Wang was holding onto his arm. Maybe I¡¯ll just have a quick talk with him, Chen Hao thought to himself. Once everyone was in the private room, the conversation went in plenty of different directions. In general, everyone updated the others on their current life and naturally, Chen Chao had the best life of them all. He¡¯d gotten a job even before graduating high school, to work on cars with an uncle of his. Now, with his family wealth, he¡¯d bought two big cars and started a small logisticspany. He could be counted as the coolest kid in town, which was probably why Wang Xue chose to be with him. ¡°Tsk tsk tsk, Xue is so blessed to be dating Chen Chao. She¡¯s basically a boss¡¯ wife now!¡± ¡°Yeah, of course she¡¯s blessed, since she¡¯s so pretty!¡± the others said enviously. ¡°Oh, wait. What are you doing now, Chen Hao?¡± Chen Chao suddenly turned his gaze upon Chen Hao and asked tentatively. The two of them never interacted much during junior high, but Chen Chao did know about the rtionship between him and Wang Xue. Naturally, as Wang Xue¡¯s current boyfriend, Chen Chao felt threatened by Chen Hao, who previously had a rtionship with Wang Xue, especially considering the fact that Chen Hao was dressed even better than him. That was why he threw that question to test the waters. Mr. Wang also looked at Chen Hao. ¡°I have a little business of my own,¡± Chen Hao said. Some of the female ssmates snorted and burst outughing. ¡°Haha! Chen Hao, doing business?¡± ¡°What kind of business? Selling socks at the night market? Ha!¡± ¡°Seriously, getting into business like everyone else is doing? No offense, Chen Hao, but you really need to know your ce. People like you are better off getting office jobs!¡± Yang Ke said, following suit with everyone¡¯s sneering. ¡°It¡¯s not that I look down on that Li Xiao, either. You two might have good grades, but you¡¯re doomed to lead the worst of lives once you join the workforce. Why? Because you two have neither the connections nor the background. I heard that your friend, Li Xiao is a mechanic now? Hehe, he would never have a bright future with that as his job!¡± Yang Ke smiled condescendingly. ¡°Actually, Miss Yang, I heard Li Xiao¡¯s made it big. He has his own car-sellingpany now!¡± ¡°Yeah, I heard that too. Apparently, he¡¯s scored a partnership with the Dreamer Investment Group!¡± someone else chimed in. Yang Ke felt embarrassed when she heard that, but she still replied, ¡°So what? Before long, they¡¯ll withdraw their investments and he¡¯ll still have to go back to servicing cars!¡± ¡°Alright, alright. That reminds me, Chen Hao. Didn¡¯t you tell Li Xiao there¡¯d be a gathering today?¡± Mr. Wang hastily changed the subject, noticing that the atmosphere was getting tense. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t. I haven¡¯t been in touch with him.¡± Chen Hao smiled coldly as he put down his teacup. ¡°I have. Come to think of it, Chen Chao¡¯s not the only one whose birthday is today! Another ssmate of ours is having his birthday too!¡± a girl suddenly said. Chapter 293 Chen Hao’s Car Chapter 293 Chen Hao¡¯s Car ¡°Really? We have another birthday boy or girl today?¡± Chen Chao said amusedly with an eyebrow raised. The female ssmate said, ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s Li Kai¡¯s birthday today! Haha, I¡¯d nned to call Li Xiao too but he was busy, and Chen Chao here is treating us all anyway!¡± Li Kai was also a ssmate of theirs in junior high, the simpleton type that always scored deadst in ss. His family owned a cement factory, and because he wasn¡¯t cut out for studying, he went straight back home to work after graduating junior high. Right now, everyone was looking at him. ¡°Damn, Kai. Why didn¡¯t you say it was your birthday? This is so awkward, haha!¡± Chen Chao said. ¡°Yeah, Li Kai! I didn¡¯t know today was your birthday too! Come,e. Let¡¯s all add Li Kai on WeChat, and send him a birthday red packet!¡± The other ssmates mored in agreement. Mr. Wangughed. ¡°Why do you young people not practice gift-giving on birthdays anymore? I remember when I was your age, I had to make the gifts myself! I guess it¡¯s easier with WeChat now!¡± ¡°Of course, Mr. Wang. Birthdays, weddings, any gift-giving asion can be handled with a red packet!¡± The girls smiled. ¡°Li Kai, I¡¯ve added you on WeChat. Take the red packet, yeah?¡± ¡°Got it. Thanks, everyone! Who would have expected that my birthday is the same as Chen Chao?¡± Seeing that everyone was so nice to him, Li Kai felt overwhelmed and kept thanking them. ¡°This is such a coincidence. Li Kai¡¯s birthday may be on the same day as Chen Chao, but let¡¯s not forget that today is another person¡¯s birthday, shall we?¡± Li Xiaoling quickly said when she noticed everyone was giving Li Kai red packets. ¡°Who? We don¡¯t remember!¡± Everyone was confused. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s Chen Hao, of course! He¡¯s got the same birthday as Chen Chao, so that makes three birthday boys including Li Kai,¡± Li Xiaoling said. ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s also Chen Hao¡¯s birthday today!¡± The others nodded, but no one spoke up after that. ¡°Oh, right. Chao, I heard that there¡¯s an event over in Xiao Quan City. Let¡¯s go there together! My father says it¡¯s getting lively over there.¡± A girl excitedly broke the silence. ¡°Oh, yeah! It¡¯s really lively in Xiao Quan City. Let¡¯s go!¡± everyone one else chimed in. ¡°I¡¯m definitely on board with that. How about this? We¡¯ll start counting the cars, Miss Yang will follow us together, and we¡¯ll see if we can fit everyone so no one has to call a cab!¡± Chen Chao suggested. After that, they started counting. As it turned out, the cars were enough but try as they might, there was always one person too many to fit in all of them. ¡°This is awkward. It¡¯s not worth renting another cab for just one person!¡± a girl said. ¡°Ahem, then I suggest Chen Hao not go. He¡¯s a businessman after all, so who knows how many deals he''ll miss out on if we bring him!¡± a boy said with augh. ¡°Ha! That¡¯s right, it¡¯s better if Chen Hao doesn¡¯t go!¡± ¡°Alright, then you all have fun. Mr. Wang, I just wanted to see you today and invite you to my birthday party, though I guess now¡¯s not a good time. I¡¯ll see you again in a few days. I have something to take care of, so bye for now,¡± Chen Hao said to Mr. Wang. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alright, then go take care of it!¡± Mr. Wang replied, noticing that everyone was mocking Chen Hao in a passive-aggressive manner and knowing that he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. After that, Chen Hao nced at Li Xiaoling, who nodded and left after saying a brief goodbye to Mr. Wang. ¡°Damn, he left just like that? What did he mean, he only came to see Mr. Wang? Does he even consider us ssmates anymore?¡± some of the girlsined with disapproval. ¡°Yeah. All we did was to not give him red packets, did he even need to say that?¡± ¡°Chen Hao, I¡¯ve got to clear things up with you. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to give you a red packet, I just don''t want to add you on WeChat. Haha!¡± ¡°Sh*t, that¡¯s too savage!¡± The crowd erupted inughter. Teasing Chen Hao had always been their greatest joy, so Chen Hao didn¡¯t say anything. After all, it was so easy for him to take them down a peg, so he couldn¡¯t even be bothered; all he did was to leave with Li Xiaoling. Wang Xue shook her head as she watched Chen Hao leave. She¡¯d been watching him the whole time, and thought that Chen Chao¡¯s handling of the situation far outshined his. She was right to have chosen Chen Chao over him! ¡°It¡¯s so infuriating, Chen Hao. Listen to what they said! And that Yang Ke is still biased against you after all this time! I can¡¯t handle this. If we hadn¡¯t all been on decent terms, I¡¯d have roasted them all on your behalf!¡± Li Xiaoling¡¯s chest heaved with anger. ¡°Come on, what good will all that anger do anyway?¡± Chen Hao soothed her as they walked. Within twenty minutes, they were back at the vige. ¡°Chen Hao, are you celebrating your birthday at home? Should I help you cook? Ooh, I know how to make noodles now, so I can whip up some longevity noodles for you,¡± Li Xiaoling said, as if she was still worried about his bruised ego. It was her who asked him to go along with her after all. ¡°Just forget about them. Li Xiao is living a good life now, anyway. So if pushes to shove, we¡¯ll both reconnect with him and be best friends again just like in our third year!¡± ¡°Sure, it¡¯ll be just like the old times.¡± Chen Hao smiled and patted Li Xiaoling¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m not celebrating at home this year, though. We¡¯ll have to go to Xiao Quan City, because I¡¯ve got a reservation there in the Hot Spring Scenic Zone.¡± ¡°What, the Hot Spring Scenic Zone? Chen Hao, you must be bluffing. Don¡¯t you know the whole zone is booked, even the hotels?¡± Li Xiaoling sputtered. ¡°How did you even get the reservation?¡± To be honest, Chen Hao had no idea what Li Zhenguo was thinking when he booked all the hotels because by his estimate, there couldn¡¯t have been more than 30 guests invited. Then again, maybe there was something he was nning, so Chen Hao didn¡¯t question it further and only smiled at Li Xiaoling. ¡°You¡¯ll see. Now,e on. It¡¯s already past eight so we need to hurry. I still have to pick someone up!¡± ¡°Are you serious? How are we going to get there now, when the city is so far away from here?¡± Li Xiaoling asked, feeling that Chen Hao was getting stranger and stranger. ¡°We¡¯re driving, of course. My car¡¯s parked in the alley, so I¡¯ll go drive it out. We¡¯re going with Uncle and Aunt Wu!¡± Chen Hao twirled the car keys in his hand and led her to the alley. When Li Xiaoling saw the car, she was shocked. ¡°Oh sh*t, an Audi A6? That¡¯s your car?¡± ¡°Nah, it¡¯s thepany¡¯s. Mine willeter.¡± Chen Hao smiled at Li Xiaoling¡¯s shocked expression. ¡°Get in the car first. I¡¯ll go call Uncle Wu.¡± Chapter 294 You? Eating in There? Chapter 294 You? Eating in There? After getting Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu and Li Xiaoling, the four of them went to the Hot Spring Scenic Zone in Xiao Quan City after a twenty-minute drive. What Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect was that the Hot Spring Scenic Zone was already packed with people, luxury cars and even hawkers and vendors; it was like a New Year festival being held here. It¡¯s so lively! Chen Hao eximed internally. Upon closer inspection, the entire path from the entrance of the zone to the hotels was covered in a red carpet with personnel rushing about everywhere. If it weren¡¯t for Li Zhenguo¡¯s car, Chen Hao would have had trouble believing all this was for his birthday celebration. ¡°Oh dear, there are so many people here. Chen Hao, which hotel did you make your reservation at? They must be fully booked by now!¡± Li Xiaoling said with confusion. ¡°Yeah, Chen Hao. Let¡¯s just settle for a restaurant in town and if that doesn¡¯t work out, Aunt Wu can always cook for you all. It¡¯s not just crowded here, but expensive too!¡± Uncle Wu said. ¡°It¡¯s alright, let¡¯s go in!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. At this point, there was nothing for him to hide anymore, especially considering that this banquet was hosted in his honor. He was just about to exin himself to Li Xiaoling, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu when Wu Feng walked over with several young men and women. ¡°Grandpa? Grandma? What are you two doing here?¡± he said upon noticing them. ¡°Feng, why didn¡¯t you say something about your grandparentsing? The personnel would have been able to let them in for a bit! After all, we¡¯re all just waiting for our boss toe!¡± ¡°Ahem, that¡¯s because the boss came for personal reasons. He¡¯s not here for proper work, so how can we trouble the Zone¡¯s personnel like this?¡± Wu Feng said. ¡°Besides, my own parents are just looking around too.¡± ¡°We¡¯re here to celebrate Chen Hao¡¯s birthday. Oh yeah, where are your parents?¡± Uncle Wu said. ¡°Pfft. Celebrate his birthday? Then why are you here? The whole ce is booked!¡± Wu Feng sneaked a nce at Chen Hao; he knew full well his grandparents were the ¡®innocent farmer¡¯ type, so they wouldn¡¯t be the ones to suggest going there for the celebration. How nice of Chen Hao to drag these clueless old people over for a birthday celebration when the ce was clearly booked. This was an embarrassment to Wu Feng, especially in front of his colleagues. Just then, the three Wu brothers walked over with Wu Jie and Wu Qian. ¡°Mum? Dad? Why are you two here?¡± the eldest asked in confusion. Apparently, they¡¯d already known about the uing banquet that was supposedly held in the honor of a bigshot, with celebrity guests and everything. So, knowing that the banquet offered a chance for both fun andworking with influential people, they¡¯d practically brought the whole family. ¡°Hmph! Why else? This Chen Hao drove them here!¡± Wu Feng snapped and told them everything that just happened. ¡°Ha! How bold of you. Look around you, look at where you are now! Considering the asion going on today, how exactly are you going to celebrate your birthday in the Hot Spring Scenic Zone?!¡± Sun Hongxia scoffed with her arms crossed. If Chen Hao could make it in today, then wouldn¡¯t that make him better than her own daughter? That would be impossible! ¡°Yeah, Chen Hao! I thought you¡¯d just settle for a restaurant in town, but here in Xiao Quan City? You should have just told us to bring them, instead of showing off by yourself!¡± Zhang Xiqi chimed in. ¡°Alright, stop that. It¡¯s his birthday and he said he¡¯s treating us to dinner. You all seem like you have nothing to do, so why don¡¯t you join us once Chen Hao finds his reservation?¡± Uncle Wu said. ¡°What? We¡¯re not free, Dad. Your son just bumped into a few of his colleagues, and we¡¯ve all agreed to have dinner together. Why don¡¯t you join us?¡± Luo Ning hastily replied, then turned to Wu Feng. ¡°Feng, Jie, carry on. Don¡¯t waste your time here, and remember that once your bosses get here, be a little more alert and responsive!¡± Wu Feng and his colleagues nodded, then nced at Chen Hao before leaving; this was indeed an important asion for them. Wu Qian, on the other hand, had been watching Chen Hao from the sidelines. In the past, he would have lowered his head out of shame in the face of those relentless mockeries from her mother and aunts. But ever since she¡¯d found out his connections to the Zone, she noticed that he¡¯d merely smiled his way through it all; it was as if none of that mockery affected him anymore. Why was he so confident? And where did that confidencee from? Had he really be sessful? It was this unexinable feeling that worried Wu Qian. She¡¯d already been fearful of hearing any more good news about Chen Hao, so she didn¡¯t even mention the events of that day to her parents. Now that Chen Hao had swaggered up here, iming he had a reservation, Wu Qian was legitimately concerned! ¡°Wu? Hey, it really is you!¡± an old, but strong voice called out. When Chen Hao turned to look, he saw an old man walking over with his family of four. ¡°Wang! I never thought I¡¯d see you here!¡± Uncle Wu replied excitedly as Wang¡¯s family came to greet them. When Chen Hao saw the two people behind the middle-aged woman, he froze ¡ªit was Wang Min and Wang Xiao. ¡°I still had no idea of the result of the blind date between those two kids the other day. Xiao Min here wouldn¡¯t tell me either! I was just about to ask you, what the heck is the matter with Chen Hao? Does he think he¡¯s too good for my daughter or something?¡± Wang jokingly said. ¡°Dad, stop talking about that Chen Hao guy. Maybe he thinks he¡¯s too poor for our daughter, and that¡¯s why he backed out. Don¡¯t put him under the spotlight like this,¡± Wang Min¡¯s mother interrupted. Who knew that the old man would talk about that blind date the moment they all met up? What was there to discuss, really? She was certainly against this match, but her father was acting like Wang Min was that desperate to be married off. ¡°Ahem, Wang. This is Chen Hao. I¡¯ve also been wondering what happened that day!¡± Uncle Wu pointed to Chen Hao. ¡°Wait, that¡¯s him?¡± Wang Min¡¯s mother suddenly fell silent out of embarrassment and merely nced at Chen Hao twice. Wang Xiao, on the other hand, walked right up to him in pleasant surprise. ¡°Chen Hao, we meet again!¡± Chen Hao gave her a faint smile. At the sight of this, Wang Min felt embarrassed, feeling that Chen Hao treated her sister better than he treated herself. ¡°Mum, Dad, look! Isn¡¯t that Chen Hao?¡± At this moment, another girl walked over while pointing at Chen Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Hao. ¡°Hmph! So what if it¡¯s him? He probably came here to broaden his horizons!¡± the middle-aged man scoffed. Chapter 295 The Big Shots have Gathered Chapter 295 The Big Shots have Gathered Indeed, it was really Jiang Weidong, Tang Lan, and their family. Initially, Jiang Weidong was quite happy, but when he saw Chen Hao, the expression on his face instantly darkened. As for Chen Hao, he merely threw a nce at Jiang Weidong and the rest of them. Previously, Chen Hao would have gone over and greeted them, no matter how reluctant he was. But now, he couldn¡¯t be bothered. ¡°All of youe and see! There are many grand cars!¡± ¡°Is it? It¡¯s true! My god!¡± Then, the group of people started shouting. Next, the crowd that was initially blocking the road all cleared a path. As for the workers of the scenic zone, they were in position a long time ago and were ready to wee the guests in the cars. In the first grand car was a middle-aged couple; they held hands and came out of the car. ¡°Mr. Li Guohao, Mrs. Lee, wee!¡± the workers greeted them respectfully. ¡°My god, it¡¯s Mr. Li Guohao and his wife. Wow, they are the number one phnthropist of our Jiangnan province. They used to be the richest people in Jiangnan province. I never thought that they would ¡°Yes, it¡¯s been a long time since Mr. Lee and his wife stopped concentrating on their business. I heard that they are now travelling the world. I never thought that they would be here!¡± ¡°We rarely see them, not even on television!¡± The crowd was chatting away as they all took their phones out to snap pictures. ¡°Dad, grandpa, how is it? The scene is spectacr, isn¡¯t it? This is Mr. Li Guohao. He used to be the richest man in Jiangnan province.¡± Wu Feng, Wu Jie, and the rest of them walked toward Chen Hao. Then, Wu Feng made the introductions, pleased with himself. It was the first time Uncle Wu saw so much grandeur; he couldn¡¯t help but be astonished. The other members of the Wang family were also very astonished as they watched. Another middle-aged couple came out of the second grand car, with their son following behind them. ¡°Damn! This is Mr. Liang. They own a few film studios in Hong Kong and Jin Ling city!¡± ¡°Why are they here too?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so spectacr. Maybe they want to cooperate to build a film set in Xiao Quan city?¡± ¡°Hmmph, it¡¯s not impossible. There was such a n and it was made when I was still in charge!¡± Jiang Weidong couldn¡¯t help but say this proudly when he heard the other passerby¡¯s words. ¡°Wow!¡± Just as the crowd was busy discussing among themselves, there was a sudden shout. Then, the crowd started cheering as everybody looked toward the neer. ¡°It¡¯s Jiang Bei¡¯s richest man, Mr. Li Zinian! Damn!¡± The crowd looked on with respect and they were all stunned. ¡°Dad, what exactly is going on today? Why are there so many big shots here?¡± Jiang Ranran was also astonished. Jiang Weidong was an insider, so he understood the situation. ¡°Hehe, other than that Young Master Chen from Jin Ling, who else would have that kind of reputation? Young Master Chen¡¯s family is mysteriously powerful, so naturally they would have such incredible connections!¡± Jiang Weidong said proudly. ¡°What? Young Master Chen? Today is Young Master Chen¡¯s birthday?¡± Jiang Ranran asked, shocked. What she eximed started spreading around like wildfire. A lot of people were surprised and they shouted, ¡°Turns out it''s Young Master Chen¡¯s birthday! No wonder. Otherwise, why would anybody ¡°Right, speaking of Young Master Chen, why isn¡¯t there any information about him on the inte?¡± somebody asked curiously. ¡°Of course it¡¯s because Young Master Chen is a very modest person who likes to keep a low profile!¡± ¡°Exactly. There are only an extremely small number of people who know how Young Master Chen looks!¡± The crowd were busy gossiping among themselves. ¡°So today is really Young Master Chen¡¯s birthday. My guess was right!¡± On the Wu family side, Uncle Wu''s sons and their wives just had ate realization. As for Chen Hao, he stood at one side, being squashed in the crowd and feeling dumbfounded because he never thought that Li Zhenguo would make such a big deal of it. On top of that, there were so many big shots who showed up, which waspletely unexpected. ording to the original n, there were supposed to be only twenty or thirty people. This was really getting out of hand! ¡°All of you, quickly look! That looks like the Governor of Jiangnan Province!¡± ¡°Damn, that¡¯s right. The Governor is actually here!¡± At this moment, a lot of people in the crowd were shocked. ¡°Mum, I am going to take some pictures. You all keep looking. You guys, let¡¯s go!¡± Wu Feng put on a serious expression and took out his camera to take pictures. The crowd was cheering non-stop; the moment a group of people entered the ce, other groups of big-shots arrived one after another. Uncle Wu saw this and was very excited; these were people one could only see on the television after all. Furthermore, there were famous male actors and female stars that were present too. The next to arrive was a blessing for the girls, for they screamed, ¡°Wow, so many rich and young cute guys!¡± One after another, cool Ferrari and Lamborghini sports cars arrived; young men of Jin Ling city¡¯s rich families then came out one after another, out of those cars. ¡°That is Young Master Huang, the adopted brother of Young Master Chen. I¡¯ve seen him online before. Although he¡¯s a little plump, he is plump in a good looking and cute way. Ugh, I love him to bits!¡± ¡°The most handsome one is Young Master Bai, Bai Xiaofei. He is so tall and handsome. My gosh, I heard that he is very close to Young Master Chen. God, if only he would kiss me, that¡¯s all I''d ever ask for.¡± ¡°And that one¡­ That is¡­¡± A lot of young little girls pushed toward the front; they took out their phones and started taking pictures. ¡°These youngsters are so good looking and rich. Min, Xiao, I won¡¯t ask much of you. Just find someone with even half their excellence, and that would be enough!¡± Wang Min¡¯s mother said with envy. If only these rich and young were her daughters, then today would have been her day. Biao Xiaofei, Young Master Huang, and the rest had their hands in their pockets and they wore sunsses, chewing gums in their mouth as they casually entered the ce. They gathered at the big public square at the entrance; ording to the organizers¡¯ intentions, they were surely getting ready for a group shot. A lot of people gathered around this group of big shots, greeting them and trying to get their attention. This angered Jiang Weidong who was standing at one side. ¡°Did you see that? That boy is the one who took over my position. Otherwise, I would have been the one to enter the ce!¡± Jiang Weidong jealously said. His previous underling could now go in the scenic zone to greet the rich businessmen. As for him, he could only watch from the audience seats, so this naturally caused Jiang Weidong to feel ufortable. At this moment, Sun Hongxia sighed and said in an envious tone, ¡°Look at them and the workers of the scenic zone, they could probably bring any of their friends and family into the zone to enjoy themselves. Why is it that no one in our family knows someone working in the scenic zone?¡± Looking at her daughter, Wu Qian, she added, ¡°Qian, double up on the efforts. Make sure that next time there is a big event like this, I can go in and experience it too.¡± Wu Qian nodded, entranced. She didn¡¯t know what to think; at an event like this, who wouldn¡¯t want to walk on the red carpet and enjoy the spotlight? Who would be satisfied to stay as a mere spectator? ¡°Excuse me! Please let me through!¡± When Chen Hao saw that almost everybody had arrived, he realized that it was time for him to go in; if he wasn¡¯t there, how was this birthday feast supposed to start? Because he was staring nkly at the spectacle just now, Chen Hao ended up being squashed Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. in the middle of a surging crowd. ¡°Move aside, why are you pushing? So annoying!¡± ¡°Exactly. Why are you going there? Really!¡± said a few girls in the row in front of him with despicable looks; they couldn¡¯t help but roll their eyes at Chen Hao. Chapter 296 Proud and Satisfied Chapter 296 Proud and Satisfied ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t push forward just because others are pushing forward. Look at yourself first,¡± Sun Hongxia said in disdain as she looked at Chen Hao who had been pushed back by the girls. Damn it! Chen Hao also really had no choice. ¡°Chen Hao, stop moving for a while and watch? There are so many big shots!¡± Li Xiaoling advised. Up to this moment, almost all the guests had arrived. In the venue, Li Zhenguo held up a megaphone and started to thank the guests foring. Next, Li Zhenguo¡¯s voice rang loudly and the crowd outside momentarily quieted down; although there were so many people in the open air venue, the whole ce became very silent. However, there was someone outside who muttered, ¡°We¡¯ve been watching for so long. Which one is Young Master Chen? Why can¡¯t we see him?¡± ¡°Could it be that Young Master Chen is not here? It can¡¯t be.¡± ¡°Perhaps Young Master Chen reached early and is already inside? Maybe he doesn''t like appearing in public?¡± ¡°Ah, if that was the case, does that mean we won¡¯t be able to see Young Master Chen?¡± Some girls were instantly disappointed. Yes, although seeing Young Master Bai and Young Master Huang was good enough, the man those girls really wanted to see was the super rich Young Master Chen; they spent so much time waiting outside just for this moment. ¡°I¡¯m getting so anxious! Why isn¡¯t Young Master Chening out yet?¡± Tang Lan also asked anxiously. Jiang Weidong sighed. ¡°Maybe Young Master Chen won¡¯te out and show his face.¡± It seemed like everybody within the venue were also wondering about Young Master Chen¡¯s whereabouts. Li Zhenguo already noticed it; he himself was wondering about the same thing. It was nearly eleven o¡¯clock. ording to the n, Young Master Chen would fetch Uncle Wu ande over. At once, Li Zhenguo smiled and said, ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m so sorry. I will give Young Master Chen a call. Maybe something held him up.¡± Next, he took out his cell phone and dialled Chen Hao¡¯s number. ¡°Damn, did you hear that? It isn¡¯t that Young Master Chen didn¡¯t want toe out, it is because he is not here yet!¡± ¡°Uh huh. If that¡¯s the case, we might get to see Young Master Chen soon!¡± The girls were pleasantly surprised again. Du du du¡­ Just then, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. In the middle of the quiet crowd, the ringtone sounded piercing to the ear. At the same time, the Wu family siblings, the Wang family, and the Jiang family all looked at Chen Hao. They were shocked, since General Manager Li just made a call and Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang; what a coincidence! ¡°Hahaha, someone who doesn¡¯t know him might actually think that he¡¯s Young Master Chen,¡± someone said with augh. ¡°Hi, General Manager Li, I¡¯m here. I squashed in the middle of the crowd. I¡¯ll go over right away,¡± Chen Hao said from within the crowd. ¡°Hahaha, this person is reallymitted to his charade. He¡¯s even pretending that it¡¯s real. Does he think he¡¯s shooting for a film?¡± ¡°Exactly. This person is so amusing,¡± the crowd said, mocking him. Chen Hao ended the call and walked forward. This time, the few girls didn¡¯t block him; instead, they looked at Chen Hao, surprised. ¡°Chen Hao, what are you doing? Come back here!¡± Li Xiaoling thought Chen Hao had gone mad. When Chen Hao reached the center of the red carpet, everybody became very quiet and looked at Chen Hao dumbfounded. At the venue, Li Zhenguo led the big shots, including Bai Xiaofei, Young Master Huang, and the rest of them, toward Chen Hao. ¡°Oh no, oh no, Chen Hao is finished. He has attracted the big shots¡¯ attention,¡± Li Xiaoling said nervously. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Li Zhenguo and those gathered around him called out in unison, their voices ringing out loud and clear as if the sound permeated the skies and the earth. ¡°Y-Young Master Chen? What?!¡± That call caused many people to start trembling. Jiang Weidong and Tang Lan¡¯s eyes almost popped out with surprise; he was Young Master Chen? How was this possible? This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Jiang Weidong always thought that Chen Hao was the son of a friend that didn¡¯t amount to much, so surely he would have nothing to show as well. That was why he looked down on Chen Hao again and again. It was also because he was worried that Chen Hao would turn to him for help. But just now, Li Zhenguo and the big group of big shots just addressed Chen Hao as ¡®Young Master Chen¡¯ in unison? It turned out that the mysterious Young Master Chen of Jin Ling was Chen Hao! This¡­ Jiang Weidong swallowed his saliva and felt like he had been given a tight p, the kind that wiped his mind nk; the edge of his mouth was twitching. Jiang Ranran couldn¡¯t believe it and she covered her mouth. It wasn¡¯t just Jiang Ranran, but Wu Qian and the rest of the Wu family, all of them were startled too, let alone the pair of daughters from the Wang family. Nobody would have thought that Chen Hao was the Young Master Chen! No wonder he had so much money! But all things considered, what was actually going on? ¡°Young Master Chen, you are so good-looking!¡± some girls shouted as they rushed toward Chen Hao. Chen Hao ignored them; he turned his head and instead, looked at the stunned Li Xiaoling who was standing among the crowd, as well as the astonished Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu. Smiling, he said, ¡°Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, Xiao Ling, let¡¯s go. We already have ces inside. Let¡¯s go and eat.¡± As soon as he said this, he went over and supported Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, and also pulled Xiaoling along with him to walk out of the crowd. Li Xiaoling swallowed her saliva with difficulty; she was really frightened. Just then, Bai Xiaofei, Young Master Huang, and the other rich youngsters walked over together to help support Uncle Wu and the rest. ¡°Uncle, let me help you in,¡± said Bai Xiaofei. Chen Hao also followed behind them and walked in. However, when he walked past Wang Min, she momentarily thought of the scene from a few days before. ¡°Sister, I don¡¯t feel like meeting that poor loser. Can you go for the matchmaking on my behalf? And then reject him for me!¡± Wang Min¡¯s mother also thought of that day. ¡°Yeah, even if my daughter doesn¡¯t want to get married, she won¡¯t marry him anyhow. Surely he didn¡¯t really think that my daughter can¡¯t find a husband? He is not worthy!¡± However, now, she wished there was a hole for her to squeeze into. As for Wu Qian¡¯s family, their faces paled. ¡°Brothers, sisters, it¡¯s my birthday tomorrow. Let¡¯s have a meal together if you are free. I don¡¯t have a lot of close friends anyway.¡± Chen Hao¡¯s invitation still rang in their ears, along with the sight of Chen Hao¡¯s bashful and sincere smile shing across their eyes. ¡°We don¡¯t have the time. Who has time to attend your birthday?¡± ¡°Exactly. Don¡¯t go following other people just because you saw them celebrating their birthdays. Look at yourself!¡± ¡°We are not that free. Feng has a lot left to do!¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± They were now speechless; Chen Hao had invited them twice, but they rejected both times and now, felt horrible on the inside. As for Wu Qian, her cell phone fell to the ground without her realizing it. She always worried about Chen Hao turning into an able person, but now, she was saved from those worries. It was no wonder that Chen Hao could cause Manager Wang Biao to act that way, or that he could bend the scenic zone¡¯s manager to his will, or that he wanted to invite grandpa and grandma to celebrate his birthday; it was all because Chen Hao was Young Master Chen! As Chen Hao walked out of the crowd, Jiang Weidon took a good look at Chen Hao; he wanted Chen Hao to look at him so that he could say hi or something. He thought that after all those years, the ones who would treat him with sincerity were the father and son of the Chen family. It was no wonder that thest time his business was in a tight spot, the Dreamer Investment Group invested in his business right away and helped him out of his troubles. Chen Hao had always paid him visits whenever he had troubles, and Chen Hao had always dearly called him ¡®Uncle Jiang¡¯! However, he had chased him out of his house; Jiang Weidong was so ashamed that if there was a hole in the ground, he wanted to be swallowed whole. ¡°Damn, look, you guys! What car is that?¡± At this moment, a few girls shouted and pointed at a spot in the distance, hoping their voices would attract Young Master Chen¡¯s attention. Chen Hao also looked in that direction. The crowd was stunned, because, at this point, an extremely grand sports car sped over and headed toward them at full speed! Chapter 297 The Start of a New School Year Chapter 297 The Start of a New School Year ¡°That¡¯s a Lamborghini Reventon! Holy smokes! That cost as much as twenty million!¡± The crowd was stunned. The Lamborghini soon stopped. Then, Li Xiao and Su Ting came out of the car. Li Xiao then threw the car keys at Chen Hao. ¡°We drove your car back for you!¡± This was a favor that Chen Hao asked of Li Xiao two days ago. Since he had no car now, he needed a car and requested Li Xiao to return his car. Then, he smiled and tapped Li Xiao¡¯s shoulder and entered the venue together. ¡°So that car belongs to Young Master Chen! No wonder!¡± the crowd said, full of envy. Next, it was time for pictures, followed by the birthday feast. ording to Li Zhenguo, this standard was nothingpared to what his older sister Chen Xiao had. Chen Hao understood this, but he couldn¡¯t possibly act like his older sister by reserving the whole of a small ind. The birthday feast continued until three o¡¯clock in the afternoon. During that time, a little episode happened; Chen Hao called Qin Ya a few times because she said that she would be there, but she didn¡¯te in the end. He called a few times before he finally got through. Qin Ya didn¡¯t sound like she was in a good mood and told Chen Hao that she wouldn¡¯t be attending. Chen Hao momentarily let slip of his thoughts and asked if something had happened. Qin Ya didn¡¯t reply but merely ended the call. Chen Hao didn¡¯t think too much of it; she didn¡¯t have toe if she didn¡¯t want to since this was what Chen Hao wanted anyway. N?velDrama.Org content. By the time the event was about to be over, Chen Hao decided to rest in a room in the scenic zone because he had been drinking too much. ¡°What are you doing? You can¡¯t go in!¡± ¡°I am Young Master Chen¡¯s elder. My family name is Jiang!¡± the middle-aged man told the bodyguard. There was no mistake ¡ªthe person was indeed Jiang Weidong. He had only managed to get it after having begged his previous underling for quite a long time for permission to enter the venue. After he went in, of course Jiang Weidong wanted to meet Young Master Chen. There were two reasons he wanted to meet Chen Hao. Firstly, he was worried that news about him offending Young Master Chen would spread around like wildfire. If that were to happen, his position as the Section Manager might be threatened; he knew that he had crossed a line. Secondly, if he begged Chen Hao for forgiveness on behalf of their familiarity with each other, he might get his previous position reinstated. This was thest resort for Jiang Weidong. It was quite depressing when he thought about the fact that Chen Hao actually knew so many big shots; if he didn¡¯t offend Chen Hao, his future might be bright, despite the fact that he had no idea of how Chen Hao¡¯s family became so prosperous. But Jiang Weidong could no longer afford to take so much into consideration. ¡°I want to meet Young Master Chen. Can you please pass him my message?¡± Jiang Weidong said. Following behind him was Tang Lan and Jiang Ranran. The bodyguard didn¡¯t dare to take a risk; in case this was really Young Master Chen¡¯s elder, he would be in trouble, so he went in and told Chen Hao about this. The bodyguard soon came out. ¡°Young Master Chen is resting now. If you want to meet him, you will have to wait.¡± The bodyguard eyed Jiang Weidong coldly. ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Jiang Weidong could only nod his head. Half an hour passed... An hour passed... Soon, a whole five hours passed; it was going to be nine o¡¯clock at night, yet Jiang Weidong was still waiting. His legs were weak from standing for too long. The bodyguard made another trip in and came out again. ¡°You don¡¯t have to wait anymore. Young Master Chen is eating and he told you to go back first. If there¡¯s anything, you can talk about it next time.¡± The edge of Jiang Weidong¡¯s mouth twitched. He understood that Chen Hao was intentionally making things difficult for him, because he previously let Chen Hao and his father wait downstairs for him for a whole five hours. At the same time, this night, on the road from Yan Jing to Jin Ling, an extra long Rolls-Royce Phantom was speeding along. In the backseat was a girl in light makeup, but dressed like a rich madam; she had her eyes closed. No, rather than being described as a girl, she looked more like she was fresh off the school campus and was new to the society. ¡°Are we reaching soon?¡± the girl said faintly as she opened her eyes slightly. She fixed her gaze on the scenery outside the window. ¡°Miss, we are about to reach Jin Ling City!¡± the driver¡ªwho had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes¡ª instantly replied respectfully. ¡°Let the cars behind catch up as soon as possible,¡± the girl instructed. Next, she saw the driver speak into a walkie-talkie. From the darkness behind, a whole convoy of Maybachs suddenly appeared; there were more than twenty cars there. The passing cars had no choice but to clear the way. ¡°Jin Ling City, Jin Ling College, these two ces have previously filled me with shame and indignity. Hehe, I¡¯m back!¡± The girl thought of everything that happened before. In that moment, she held her fists tightly. Because she used too much force, she caused her sharp nails to turn white. ¡°Miss, you¡¯re about to enroll into Jin Ling College to study. Hehe,e to think of it, she will be your junior,¡± the driver who was driving said respectfully. ¡°I heard that for the next two days, the fourth year students will be having their thesis defense. Are you going back to school to defend your thesis?¡± ¡°You talk too much!¡± the girl scolded and closed her eyes. There was a roaring sound as the whole convoy entered Jin Ling. Back to the side of Chen Hao, he woke up early the next morning. Now that the issues here were more or less handled, Chen Hao should find the time to go back to school. The summer vacation of three months was neither too long nor too short. Furthermore, in two days time, the university¡¯s thesis defense sessions were about to start. Therefore, Chen Hao nned to return to Jin Ling on this day. This was also the main reason why he let Li Xiao drive his car back for him. He went back to bid farewell to Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu. Of course, it was Sun Hongxia and the rest who held Chen Hao¡¯s hand and sent him to his car. They even followed him to the entrance of the vige and stayed there until Chen Hao¡¯s car could not be seen anymore. Only then did Sun Hongxia and the rest returned home with a heavy heart. ¡°This kid Chen Hao is really bing better and better. Since he was little, I said that when Chen Hao grows up, he will make a name for himself. You all see what happened?¡± That was what Sun Hongxia told everyone that she met. Along the way, Chen Hao received a call from the head of the dormitory, Yang Hui. ¡°Chen, when are youing back to Jin Ling?¡± ¡°I¡¯m on the way!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Haha, Li Rui and I have already arrived. We are in the dormitory.¡± ¡°Damn, you don¡¯t have to work so hard on the graduate school entrance exam. Why don¡¯t you spend more time with your partner?¡± Chen Hao said with a bitter smile on his face. ¡°My partner went back to school a long time ago to prepare for the entrance exam. Furthermore, our school¡¯s thesis defense sessions are earlier. The one in my partner¡¯s school won¡¯t be so soon. Of course, my cousin ising to Jin Ling College to study and I apanied her here. Bin Zi¡¯s cousin sister is also here to study, so we both happened to arrive early,¡± Yang Hui said. ¡°Alright, I happened to be going back today too. Let¡¯s chat when we meet.¡± After he ended the call, Chen Hao floored the elerator. After the third year of university, some of the fourth year students left for internships and some stayed in school to study for the graduate school entrance exam, while some had to study for another three months. Yang Hui and Li Rui nned to take the graduate school entrance exam. Of course, Chen Hao was nning to take the exam too. Over this period of time, he found time to study quite a bit. After more than two months apart, Chen Hao really missed Yang Hui and Li Rui. Soon, at a little past nine o¡¯clock, Chen Hao arrived at the schoolpound. As expected, from the looks of it, today was the first day for the new military recruits; there were many new faces in military uniform. ¡°Wow, they say that Jin Ling College is full of rich young men, and it really is true! Quicklye and take a look! What sports car is that?¡± As soon as Chen Hao¡¯s car stopped at the entrance, he immediately caught the attention of many young girls. Chapter 298 Yang Xia’s Sister Chapter 298 Yang Xia¡¯s Sister ¡°Is this some rich boy¡¯s car?¡± More and more people crowded around. As for Chen Hao, although his identity as Young Master Chen was not much of a secret at this point, but he still felt ufortable getting out of his car in public like this. After some consideration, he decided to turn around and go to the little woods instead of driving into the school, parking in his usual spot before walking in. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Just then, Chen Hao spotted a girl in military uniform and became shocked. The girl also seemed surprised to see him, but she quickly put on a mocking expression and said, ¡°Oh ho, what a coincidence to see you here!¡± ¡°You got into Jin Ling College?¡± Chen Hao had never expected to be able to meet her there. ¡°Yeah. Impressive right? You sure didn¡¯t expect someone with results such as mine would be able to enter Jin Ling College, right?¡± replied the girl to Chen Hao. The girl in front of him was called Yang Lu, and she was none other than Yang Xia¡¯s own sister. As Yang Xia¡¯s ex-boyfriend, Chen Hao had met her before. His first impression of her was that she was a wild one, always ying truant in high school and already visiting nightclubs at that age. She even had tattoos on her forearm and smoked like a typical street girl. Naturally, her grades were a mess. The first time she came to Jin Ling looking for Yang Xia, both Yang Xia and Chen Hao didn¡¯t have much money with them, so the two of them worked part-time jobs just to ensure her sister had a good time. She¡¯d even asked Chen Hao to help Yang Lu with her homework, only for the girl to remark this upon meeting him for the first time, ¡°Sis, howe you¡¯ve found such a poor brother-inw for me? No money or good background? That¡¯sme!¡± Of course, Chen Hao didn¡¯t take offense with that at the time, but the point was that Yang Lu had always looked down on Chen Hao. However, they¡¯d since grown to know each other well over the years, when she visited Yang Xiao for the holidays. Chen Hao just didn¡¯t expect this year¡¯s freshmen batch to include her. ¡°It is kind of unexpected!¡± Chen Hao forced a smile. ¡°Who¡¯s this, Lu?¡± several of Yang Lu¡¯s friends asked. ¡°Heh, he¡¯s my sister¡¯s ex and a loser!¡± she said. Clearly, Yang Xia didn¡¯t reveal much to her. As for Chen Hao, he got bored after a while and nned to leave, but he couldn¡¯t help but stop in his tracks. ¡°Your sister¡­ Is Yang Xia alright?¡± he asked. After that incident, Yang Xia was so humiliated that she had dropped out of school. To be fair, she¡¯d brought this onto herself with the way she went overboard with certain things. But on second thought, ruining her future as punishment was also overkill. After all, everyone had a right to choose, and who was to say that she was wrong for refusing to choose him? So Chen Hao still felt a bit guilty on her behalf. ¡°Ha! I¡¯m telling you, you little bastard, my sister is doing just fine. And just you wait! You¡¯ll suffer the consequences for dumping her!¡± Yang Lu waved her tiny fists. Apparently, she¡¯d be even more aggressive since theyst met. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s great!¡± Chen Hao simply smiled, then left. Meanwhile, Yang Lu¡¯s mocking smile appeared to deepen as she watched Chen Hao¡¯s retreating figure. ¡°Lu, is he the Chen Hao you said you were looking for?¡± her friends asked softly. ¡°Not me, my sister. I don¡¯t know how exactly he hurt her, but the gist of it is that he¡¯s screwed for real!¡± Yang Lu sneered, then took out her phone and made a call... By then, Chen Hao had returned to the dorm. ¡°Chen, wee back!¡± Yang Hui and Li Rui gave Chen Hao a big bear hug the moment they saw him. Chen Hao was also very excited to see them and chat with them, since they were the reason he came here in the first ce. After all, he still had to return to thepanyter. Just as the three friends were chatting, the room''s door opened; Chen Hao was startled to find a girl standing there. ¡°Bro!¡± the girl called out to Yang Hui happily. ¡°Hi, Li Rui. And you must be Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Chen Hao! You must be Yang Hui¡¯s sister?¡± ¡°Mm hmm, I¡¯m Yang Xiaoru. You¡¯re quite good-looking, Chen Hao!¡± she said with a smile. She then added, ¡°Oh, right. My brother said he was treating me and my new roommates to a meal. Do you want to tag along, Chen Hao?¡± It seemed Yang Hui had told her a lot about him. ¡°That sounds great, but I can¡¯t today. I¡¯ve got something to take care of, but how about this? You all go eat first, and I¡¯ll take care of dinner. My treat.¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°Aww, that¡¯s a shame. Alright, Chen Hao. You do what you have to do¡­¡± Yang Xiaoru was very understanding, but there was still a sh of disappointment in her eyes. Then, her eyes lit up again. ¡°So what time will you be finished? You¡¯ve got to have something for lunch right? Come over if you have the time! We can always startter, no big deal.¡± ¡°That¡¯s fair. Alright, I¡¯ll join you all for lunch if I¡¯m free by then! I¡¯d better go now, then.¡± Chen Hao felt that he had no excuse to refuse. ¡°Great, then we¡¯ll all go downstairs together. My brother still has to give me a campus tour, and my friends are all waiting there,¡± Yang Xiaoru suggested. The four of them went down together, where a few girls were waiting outside the dormitory. After just one day of training, the girls were already looking slightly darker. However, some of them were good- looking enough that even their dark skin would not detract from their beauty. After greeting them one by one and walking with them for a bit, Chen Hao left the school and went back to hispany. ¡°Hey, that senior was quite handsome!¡± the girls started gossiping the moment he left. After all, it was in a freshmen girl¡¯s nature to discuss boys; they were interested in who was handsome, who was ugly, which senior they met that day and so on. It was simr to the way freshmen boys discussed girls. ¡°I know, right? He was not only gentle, but charismatic too!¡± the other girls chimed in in agreement. ¡°Um, Yang Hui, does he have a girlfriend?¡± one of the girls asked. Yang Hui forced a smile. ¡°Of course he does. Besides, do you know who he is? Not even Xiaoru knows this.¡± ¡°What? Who is he?¡± Yang Xiaoru asked as the other girls crowded around him curiously. ¡°Have you heard of Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen?¡± Yang Hui said in a deliberately suspenseful tone. ¡°What, Young Master Chen of Jin Ling? That¡¯s the really cool heir of Jin Ling with a gigantic fortune. I¡¯ve read from the online forums that thest time he celebrated his birthday, half the bigshots in the entire Jiangnan province attended!¡± the girls eximed. Clearly, they¡¯d heard of him. ¡°Yep, that was him!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Chapter 299 Revenge Chapter 299 Revenge ¡°Oh dear, oh dear, what did we just see? Were we actually walking with Young Master Chen of Jin Ling just now? ¡°Is this true, Hui?¡± the girls eximed in unison. ¡°Of course it is! Why would I lie to you all? It¡¯s just that Chen had always kept a low profile, so we only just learned about this recently.¡± Yang Hui smiled. ¡°No wonder Chen Hao seemed so attractive when we walked with him. So he is the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling!¡± The othersughed. That only made Chen Hao the center of their conversations. Yang Hui¡¯s n had been to lead them to the libraries and swimming pool, then look around at the cultural center. But after some walking, the girls became tired; after all, the campus was quite big. ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore! I¡¯m so thirsty and tired!¡± some of the girls moaned. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re thirsty? Then I¡¯ll just go get you some drinks!¡± Yang Hui said. ¡°I¡¯ll go too!¡± Li Rui chimed in and left with him, feeling embarrassed to be left here alone. The nearest convenience store was a seven- to eight-minute walk away. When Yang Hui and Li Rui exited it holding six bottles of red tea, they noticed two luxury Maybach cars parked at the entrance. They didn¡¯t notice it when they entered, and now seven or eight young men wearing sunsses were eying them, cornering them immediately the moment they were spotted. ¡°What¡¯s with you all?¡± Yang Hui said. ¡°Come with us for a while. Over there,¡± the leader said coldly, pointing to a wall behind the store. His long-haired, sunsses-wearing look was like a woman¡¯s, but his cold aura sent chills down their spine. ¡°What for? We don¡¯t even know you!¡± Li Rui said, then tried to leave with Yang Hui. Just then, the long-haired man seized Li Rui¡¯s shoulder, while the rest crowded around and manhandled them both against the wall. There were plenty of witnesses in the store who were shocked, but when they saw the Maybach cars, they realized these men weren¡¯t ordinary people and became too scared to get involved; no one even took a picture. 10 minutester, the men emerged shaking their wrists and cracking their necks. Mr. Long Hair, the leader, calmly wiped the blood from his hands with a tissue before tossing it aside. Then, the men walked over to the store where a girl was waiting, who was chuckling while eating her ice cream. ¡°It is done, Miss Yang Lu,¡± said Long Hair lightly. It seemed like his manner of speech was always cold and indifferent, no matter who he was talking to. ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Long Hair. Too bad my men have reported that they failed to get Chen Hao. God damn it!¡± The girl before them was none other than Yang Lu. She¡¯d only been on campus for a day, but she¡¯d gathered quite a following and was practically the campus tyrant; no one dared to oppose her. The only reason she achieved this was the car entourage she brought with her on Day 1, both to show off and to intimidate everyone else. ¡°It¡¯s not hard at all. I¡¯m honored to serve you and your sister, Miss Yang Lu,¡± Long Hair said. ¡°Alright, then you all can go back first and wait for my call.¡± Yang Lu waved her hand then left with her men, still licking her ice cream. On the other hand, the girls were wondering as they said, ¡°What¡¯s taking Yang Hui and Li Rui so long?¡± ¡°Who knows? It¡¯s been twenty minutes since they left. Why don¡¯t we go look for them?¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Just then, a girl ran toward Yang Xiaoru and the others; she was someone who went to the same ss they did, and lived in the dorm just next door. ¡°Xiaoru, something¡¯s wrong! I was grocery shopping at the store just now, when I saw your brother getting beaten up!¡± the girl said. Clearly, she knew Yang Hui and had witnessed the incident. ¡°What?¡± Yang Xiaoru gave a start. ¡°Where is he now?¡± ¡°Come with me!¡± Everyone followed the girl. Eventually, they saw Yang Hui and Li Rui on the ground, bleeding profusely. ¡°Bro!¡± ¡°I¡¯m alright, Xiaoru! But damn, those men were good fighters!¡± Yang Hui had had his fair share of fights, but what happened just now still shook him to his core. When the men had started beating them, Yang Hui and Li Rui had naturally fought back. But with a single thrust, Long Hair had lifted him into the air and nearly made him pass out with a single kick. As for Li Rui, he could barely withstand a single punch from the guy, so they received quite a beating after ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . that. ¡°Who beat you up like this? I¡¯ll call the police!¡± Yang Xiaoru cried. Yang Hui seized her hand. ¡°Call Chen! Those men seemed to be targeting him!¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll call him now!¡± Yang Xiaoru choked out in between her tears. ¡­¡­ ¡°Zheng Yue¡ªno, no, no. I should be calling you Manager Zheng, haha! Congrattions on bing the boss of Yunmeng Mountain¡¯s newly opened bar!¡± At the moment, Li Feihong had just walked out to the basement parking lot of a restaurant after a meal with Zheng Yue. Because of her connections with Young Master Chen, Zheng Yue¡¯s promotions have been swift to the point that she was now on par with Li Feihong, close enough to bigshot status. The past few months had marked major changes in Jin Ling, with several shop lots in Yunmeng Mountain already up for pre- orders. ¡°Cut it out with the ¡®Manager Zheng¡¯s¡¯ and ¡®Mr. Li¡¯s¡¯. Just call me Zheng!¡± Zheng Yue said with a smile. ¡°Li, get the car and send Manager Zheng back, please,¡± Li Feihong said nonchntly, still nked by five or six of his bodyguards in ck. Li obliged, but did not emerge for five or six minutes, nor did he even make a sound. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Li Feihong asked. Two of his bodyguards turned the corner to check. ¡°Ahh!¡± The resulting yell put Li Feihong on high alert. He was just about to rush over when several Maybach cars emerged and barricaded both ends of the parking lot, trapping Li Feihong and Zheng Yue in the process. After that, more men d in ck clothing and sunsses got out of the car, led by the same young man with long hair. His face was deathly pale, so much so that he could bepared to a corpse, with the way it looked white as snow. ¡°Damn! This is getting interesting. Nobody in all of Jin Ling dares to touch me, Li Feihong, like this. You all seem to be new faces. Where are you from?¡± Li Feihong calmly lit a cigarette. As Li Zhenguo¡¯s top fighter and bodyguard, he¡¯d been through a lot of things. The long-haired youth simply pointed at Zheng Yue. ¡°You¡¯re Zheng Yue? Come with us!¡± Noticing the youth was arrogant enough topletely ignore his words, Li Feihong signalled two of his bodyguards to attack. But before they could reach the long-haired man, they were defeated with a single kick from the guy¡¯s own subordinates. Li Feihong hesitated, then threw his cigarette on the ground. ¡°Not bad, but if you want Zheng Yue, then you¡¯ll have to go through me first!¡± With that, Li Feihong rushed straight for him, waving his fist toward the long-haired youth¡¯s face. After a loud boom was heard, Zheng Yue noticed that Li Feihong was now motionless in front of Long Hair. Then, slowly, he fell to his knees, revealing the fist that Long Hair had aimed at him. Li Feihong felt like he was seeing double, his expression was one of disbelief, with blood trickling from his mouth. With thest of his strength, Li Feihong raised a shaky hand and seized Long Hair¡¯s cor. Once he ripped it downward, he could see a single word tattooed on Long Hair¡¯s chest¡ª Dragon! Chapter 300 Yang Xia’s Matter Chapter 300 Yang Xia¡¯s Matter Meanwhile, Chen Hao had gotten Yang Xiaoru¡¯s call and rushed to the hospital, knowing that Yang Hui and Li Rui were beaten up. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± he asked hastily, seeing that they were severely injured. ¡°We don¡¯t know. It was a group of men who beat us up the moment they spotted us. We¡¯ve never met them, but it looks like they wereing for you. That¡¯s why I¡¯m warning you right now,¡± Yang Hui said. Coming for him? Chen Hao hesitated. ¡°Who could it be?¡± ¡°Chen Hao, a ssmate told us that the one who ordered this beating was from our major, some girl called Yang Lu, who¡¯s really dominating. She must have been behind this!¡± ¡°What? Yang Lu?!¡± Chen Hao was shocked. After hearing the description of these men by Yang Hui and Li Rui, he knew that they couldn¡¯t possibly be typical street thugs with their fighting skills; they were even driving Maybach cars and seemed highly trained, like the type that rich families hired as bodyguards. Yang Lu? That was impossible! Chen Hao knew Yang Xia¡¯s family background well, and they¡¯ve never had bodyguards like these. But one thing was certain ¡ªYang Lu was targeting him. In hindsight, it was strange to see her with that delighted expression when he¡¯d bumped into her on campus. With the revenge she¡¯d nned, it was no wonder she¡¯d been expecting his downfall. But he¡¯d never crossed Yang Lu herself, so could it be Yang Xia who really wanted revenge? Yes, when Han Siyu had gone to Yan Jing, she had told him that Yang Xia was different now. As for Yang Xia herself, she¡¯d warned him on the day she was humiliated, that she would get her revenge sooner orter. Being honest with himself, Chen Hao regretted not being able to handle that incident in a better way, which led to Yang Xia having to drop out of school. But even though he regretted the incident, she could have just targeted him alone, so why would she even harm Yang Hui and Li Rui, both who she was close to? At that moment, Chen Hao received a call from Li Zhenguo and after taking it, he froze and said, ¡°What?¡± Then, he turned to the two boys and said, ¡°I¡¯ll visit you two againter. Something happened to Zheng Yue and Manager Li Feihong too. I need to know what¡¯s going on!¡± With that, Chen Hao rushed to the other hospital; Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing had already arrived. Li Feihong was severely injured with a broken nose, while for Zheng Yue, the only injury she sustained was a swollen face. At this point, Chen Hao was almost certain that Yang Xia was the one who did this because if he remembered correctly, Zheng Yue had been the one to p Yang Xia. It was possible that she held a grudge against him, then took revenge on everybody one by one. What did she go through to be this vindictive? ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Zhao Zixing and Li Zhenguo immediately came over to greet him, but Chen Hao was still shocked at the sight of Li Feihong¡¯s weakened state. After all, Li Feihong was an excellent fighter with countless subordinates, and he still ended up being hospitalized after the beating, which made the whole situation all the more astounding. Because Li Feihong was in no state to talk, Li Zhenguo told Chen Hao everything on his behalf before concluding, ¡°Young Master Chen, we¡¯re pretty much certain that the Long family of Yan Jing was behind this!¡± ¡°The Long family of Yan Jing?¡± Chen Hao had heard of them before. Didn¡¯t Qin Ya say that this was the same family who forced her into an engagement? But what did this family have to do with the Yang sisters? ¡°Has anyone asked them what they were trying to do with all this?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°We have, but the Long family has denied all wrongdoing!¡± Li Zhenguo replied. Now, the most important thing was to meet Yang Xia and clear things up with her. ¡°Take care of them and my two friends. I¡¯ll handle this!¡± Chen Hao said. Since he was the one who started this whole mess, he must be the one to finish it. He wasn¡¯t afraid of the Long family because honestly, he could always use his family¡¯s power to bring them down if he became desperate. But what really bothered him was his cruel treatment of Yang Xia in the past, and what else could he do besides seeking her out? Chen Hao went downstairs and called Han Siyu to ask for Yang Xia¡¯s number, only for her to reply, ¡°What? I don¡¯t have it, Chen Hao. What makes you think I do? Hmph, and here I thought you¡ª¡± All she got as a reply was a beep as Chen Hao hung up on her. If even Han Siyu didn¡¯t have it, then there was only one person left who would¡ªYang Lu. Immediately, Chen Hao drove back to school and stormed toward the third floor of the girls¡¯ dorms, after he quickly found out where she lived. The dorm caretaker had nned to stop him, but one look at his car told her that he was someone important, which prevented her from taking action. With a loud crash, Chen Hao kicked the door to Yang Lu¡¯s dorm open. ¡°Who is it?! Ahh!!¡± Screams echoed from the corridor and from within the dorm where Yang Lu¡¯s roommates were; they were clutching their chests, looking clearly shaken. ¡°Sh*t, get out! You pervert!¡± The girls were scared silly while Yang Lu was calmly smoking on the balcony. Seeing Chen Hao¡¯s angry demeanor, Yang Lu seemed to know what was up but continued to smoke anyway as she stared at him. ¡°Where¡¯s your sister?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Why would I tell you that?¡± ¡°If she¡¯s back, then I want to see her!¡± Chen Hao shouted. ¡°On what grounds? My sister has made it clear that she doesn¡¯t want to see you!¡± Yang Lu replied. ¡°Don¡¯t make me do this! Did you order the beating on my friends?¡± Chen Hao seized Yang Lu¡¯s wrist, which caused her so much pain that she gritted her teeth. ¡°L-Listen to me first!¡± Yang Lu broke out of Chen Hao¡¯s death grip and massaged her wrist before yelling, ¡°I know you¡¯re confused about a lot of things. You must be wondering how and since when did my sister and I became so influential all of a sudden. Well, fine! Since you¡¯ve barged into our dorm like this so aggressively, I can tell you some things. Come downstairs with me!¡± Yang Lu took Chen Hao all the way to a small park before she stopped and said, ¡°Chen Hao, I only just realized your true identity yesterday. Hmph, turns out you were the great Young Master Chen of Jin Ling, so it was no wonder you had the guts to hurt my sister so deeply. But don¡¯t you think that you¡¯re crueler than she is? What have we ever done to you, besides to hurt you by hurting your friends? Do you know what you¡¯ve done to her? Did you know you almost got her killed? Did you know that you almost took my sister away from me?!¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Almost got her killed? Me?¡± Chen Hao said in disbelief. Chapter 301 Counterattack Chapter 301 Counterattack That incident was indeed a huge blow to Yang Xia, but to have caused her actual harm? Chen Hao really didn¡¯t think of it. ¡°Hmph, that day could be considered the darkest day in my sister¡¯s life. The person you used to be was a well-known poor loser. Everybody looked down on you and ignored you. But as for my sister, she walked with you in the schoolpound, held your hand, went shopping with you, and ate with you. Do you know what people would call my sister? They would call our school¡¯s poor loser¡¯s girlfriend, Yang Xia! Did you hear that? That¡¯s how everybody addressed her and mocked her. However, she didn¡¯t think much of it. But at the end of the day, a girl needs her self-esteem. My sister had enough. She increasingly realized that God is unfair. So, yes, she dumped you and broke up with you. But tell me, what did my sister do wrong?¡± Chen Hao was quiet. Regarding this matter, of course Yang Xia wasn¡¯t wrong; everybody had the right to choose. However, Yang Xia¡¯ster transformation was something Chen Hao could not expect. ¡°I still remember that day when my sister begged you so pitifully,¡± Yang Lu said with a face full of poisonous anger. ¡°In the end, you ignored her. My sister felt that she had no more dignity to study anymore, no more dignity to meet your ex-ssmates. Therefore, she chose to leave school. You know, when this happened, it was only a few months to graduation. Therefore, you caused my sister so much harm by forcing her to throw more than ten years of effort to study, from elementary school to university, out of the window!¡± Yang Lu continued, ¡°After she left, she wanted to avoid you, as much as possible. She wanted to be somewhere she wouldn¡¯t hear about you. So, she went to Yan Jing alone to find a job. She never expected her purse to get stolen on the first day there. Yan Jing is a ce where you can¡¯t get anywhere without money. What could she do? At that time, there was a bar hiring. So, my sister, who had no money to eat and to find her lodgings, applied for the job. It was a temporary solution.¡± Yang Lu went on with her story as she said, ¡°However, the good times didn¡¯tst even a few days. A boss saw that my sister was very beautiful and had wayward thoughts. He tried to make a move on her. She was so angry at that time that she pped him. Because of this incident, my sister nearly lost her life. That boss was especially powerful, you know? Next, because my sister had offended him, things got difficult. She couldn¡¯t find a single decent job. Besides, goodness knows what that person did so that my older sister could not leave Yan Jing. She couldn¡¯t even buy a bus ticket home, so my sister was forced to stay. She was just a girl, alone, spending her day like this. Do you know how frightened she was? In the end, my sister became a dishwasher at a restaurant. They didn''t pay her any money, but they only supplied her with lodging and food. Despite that, thedy boss always beat and bullied her.¡± Then, there was a turn in her story. ¡°When my sister had suicidal thoughts, a miracle happened. The housekeeper of the Long family took notice of my sister just as the Long family¡¯s second young master needed a maid, so they took her in. Then,dy luck smiled on her. The second young master of the Long family liked my sister and the two of them are engaged now. Haha! Chen Hao, my sister¡¯s sad first half of her life was probably what a trashy man like you hoped to see. However, you must have never expected that this would happen to my sister one day. Also, the second young master of the Long family, my brother-inw, always listens to her. Those people who bullied my sister were suddenly in trouble. The middle-aged boss that mistreated my sister had been forced into a very pitiful state. Of course, those are not the main points. My sister¡¯s biggest enemy is you!¡± Yang Lu ended her story with a cold expression. Chen Hao never thought that after Yang Xia left, so much had happened. Come to think about it, he did nearly doom her to death. Furthermore, he never would have thought that Yang Xia would marry the Long family¡¯s second young master. In that case, Yang Xia¡¯s siblings¡¯ power was not hard to understand anymore. ¡°Alright. Then, tell me, where is she now?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Sure, no problem. You want to meet my sister? Thene with me.¡± Yang Lu snapped her fingers, then turned around, showing the back of her hand to indicate him to follow. Chen Hao frowned slightly. However, he still followed behind her. Yang Lu brought Chen Hao to a private room in a bar. Only after going in did he realize that the room was empty. ¡°Where is Yang Xia?¡± Chen Hao asked Yang Lu. ¡°You really want to meet my sister? Alright, then I¡¯ll let you meet her.¡± After she finished speaking, Yang Lu pped her hands. Booming sounds could be heard; then, a barrage of urgent footsteps came from outside. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . The door opened and a group of bodyguards rushed in, all dressed in ck; there were as many as ten of them. They surrounded Chen Hao. ¡°Hahaha, Chen Hao. You really thought that I¡¯ll let you meet my sister? Hah! My sister hates you so much, of course she won¡¯t meet you. You are quite foolish. Although you were fully aware that I have a bone to pick with you, you still obediently walked right into my trap. Hmph, grab him!¡± Yang Lu Immediately, a few bodyguards¡ªwho were d in ck¡ªgrabbed Chen Hao¡¯s arms firmly. ¡°Until when are you people nning to seek revenge?¡± Chen Hao asked calmly. ¡°Huh, I don¡¯t know. What¡¯s important is that don¡¯t you even dare dream of going back tonight!¡± Yang Lu said with a cold smile. ¡°Really? Yang Lu, didn¡¯t your sister tell you about this street? It was originally named Jin Ling Commercial street. On this street, all the shop bosses know me!¡± ¡°Of course I know this. Hehe. But this is a bar that my sister had bought. Now, the boss of this bar is practically my dog. You really didn¡¯t think of this, did you?¡± Yang Lu said, pleased. She immediately walked to the front of Chen Hao. Then, with a loud resounding smack, she pped him once across the face. ¡°Hmph! This p is for my older sister, you as*hole. It was you who caused her to endure so much hardship. Today, I will torture you to death!¡± Yang Lu dered viciously. Actually, even if Chen Hao didn¡¯t look for her today, she would¡¯ve definitely looked for him to give him trouble. ¡°Unfortunately, you won¡¯t be about to torture me today,¡± Chen Hao answered coldly. ¡°Stupid boy, what did you say?!¡± a bodyguard said coldly. As soon as he said that, he let out a painful scream. ¡°Ah!¡± Instantly, the bodyguard grabbed his neck andy convulsing on the ground. ¡°What happened?¡± Yang Lu was also surprised. She could not tell what was happening at all. All she noticed was that a ck shadow had shed across her peripheral. As she was wondering about the situation, she felt a clutch around her neck. It turned out that two people had rushed in unnoticed; one of them had a long silver needle in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the two underlings that were detaining Chen Hao were on the ground, foaming around their mouths. ¡°Young Master Chen, sorry that we¡¯rete!¡± said the two of them. The two people were not mere bystanders; they were the Dragon Tiger Brothers, there to protect Chen Hao. Chen Hao nodded. When he followed Yang Lu, he needed an extra pair of eyes. He knew very well that the Yang sisters were no longer who they used to be. Therefore, he notified the Dragon Tiger Brothers before he arrived. Through the family¡¯s specialmunication devices, the two of them knew Chen Hao¡¯s exact location. Otherwise, Chen Hao would not have advanced alone. Yang Lu was caught, so naturally, her underlings didn¡¯t dare to move. ¡°You better tell me where Yang Xia is. Or else, would you want to experience how it feels like to lie on the ground, spitting foam?¡± Chen Hao said with a cold expression. Chapter 302 Meeting a High School Friend Again Chapter 302 Meeting a High School Friend Again ¡°I¡­ I also don¡¯t know where my sister is. After she came here, she visited me in school only once. Otherwise, wemunicate via phone calls,¡± Yang Lu said as she cried. ¡°Then call her!¡± Chen Hao ordered. He had to see Yang Xia; he couldn¡¯t afford to let her toss him around like this anymore. Come straight at me if you have to settle your grudges with me. Don¡¯t touch the people around me, thought Chen Hao; he really couldn¡¯t take situations like this. Although Yang Lu continuously gave her underlings looks to indicate that they should take on Chen Hao, none of the underlings dared to make a move. Everybody had seen what these two people were capable of and knew not to provoke them. Perhaps, only someone like the Poisonous Scorpion could challenge these two people. Therefore, the bodyguards didn¡¯t dare to move. Yang Lu could only take out her cell phone and passed it to Chen Hao. Chen Hao found Yang Xia¡¯s phone number and dialled it, only to discover that Yang Xia¡¯s phone was turned off. ¡°Why did she turn her phone off?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Yang Lu said. ¡°From the looks of it, you will not tell the truth if I don¡¯t teach you a lesson. Di Hu, go ahead!¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master Chen.¡± He produced a silver needle and poked it into Yang Lu¡¯s neck. ¡°Ah!¡± Right away, Yang Lu began sobbing as she was scared to tears. ¡°Everything I said is the truth. This is my sister¡¯s phone number,¡± Yang Lu said as she cried. No matter how Di Hu scared her, she still maintained what she said, so Di Hu looked at Chen Hao, who frowned and waved his hand, signalling for Di Hu to put her down. Just now, Chen Hao was trying to frighten Yang Lu. It seemed like Yang Lu was scared and what she said was the truth. After all, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t do anything to Yang Lu; he couldn¡¯t possibly cripple her, or do something else of that sort. As for the p that she gave him just now, he considered it Yang Xia¡¯s payback for him. After all, Yang Xia was forced to quit school because of him; this was the rtionship between them that couldn''t be shaken off. Chen Hao frowned and walked out of the room. ¡°Young Master Chen, what about these people?¡± Tian Long pointed at a few of the underlings. Chen Hao noded, then he left. Next, from the room came a scream that sounded like pigs getting ughtered; he had no reason to forgive those bodyguards. Chen Hao walked out, went to the bar counter, ordered a ss of beer, and pondered on how to settle the issue with Yang Xia. At that moment, a girl who was also drinking a flute of champagne, was sitting next to Chen Hao. Chen Hao eyed her and was suddenly stunned; he thought about it, but he didn¡¯t dare to show any signs of recognition. However, he couldn¡¯t help but shoot her another nce. As for the girl, it was as if she also noticed Chen Hao¡¯s nce. From the look in her eyes, she was annoyed. She then turned around to face Chen Hao. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± They were both shocked. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Hu Huimin?¡± They both spoke at the same time. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Hu Huimin looked at Chen Hao and asked. ¡°I¡¯m here for the beer. What a coincidence!¡± Chen Hao said unexpectedly. Hu Huimin was Chen Hao¡¯s high school friend. However, they were not in the same ss. So how did they get to know each other? During the high school years, Chen Hao¡¯s results were excellent and he always represented the school team to attendpetitions. As for Hu Huimin, she was also a member of the team; in fact, she was the captain of the team. At that time, without exception,petitions were also when Chen Hao was the happiest. That was because first and foremost, it was the sense of honor. Besides, they were provided with good food and girls. He also had the chance to meet many new friends. However, at that time, although he knew Hu Huimin, she was the team captain. Also, she was local to the county. After the college entrance exam, her whole family moved to Jin Ling City. Hu Huimin¡¯s grandfather was very well connected in the armed forces, and even her parents were in politics. So naturally, she grew up in afortable and abundant environment. Although Chen Hao¡¯s school results were good, he was not worthy of Hu Huimin¡¯s attention. Everytime they attended apetition, she only spoke to Chen Hao as the team captain; in private, they did not have a rtionship. So why did Chen Hao have such a strong impression of her? That was because other than the fact of Hu Huimin having high expectations for men, she also had a lot of abilities and was a very capable girl. On top of that, she was especially pretty. She belonged to the ¡®goddess¡¯ category, the kind of girl that Chen Hao didn¡¯t dare to even dream of. A lot of guys wanted to befriend her, but her trusted male friends were all outstanding men; they all came from powerful and wealthy families. In short, him, as an average Joe, should not even dream of getting close with her. Chen Hao was very thankful for having the chance to just say a few words to her. He grew somewhat nervous out of old habits. ¡°We¡¯ve not met for many years. I heard that you made it into the Police Academy. Are you doing fieldwork already?¡± Chen Hao asked. Hu Huimin didn¡¯t say much. She nodded slightly, then shot Chen Hao a nce and said, ¡°Why do you stille to bars? Shouldn¡¯t you be working already?¡± Hu Huimin conversed half-heartedly with him, seeming as if her attention was somewhere else. ¡°I¡¯ve not found a job yet. Right, what are you looking at?¡± Chen Hao asked. At the same time, he followed Hu Huimin¡¯s gaze and looked around. ¡°Don¡¯t look everywhere. That¡¯s enough, talk to me!¡± Hu Huimin still had that temper; she spoke with an authoritative tone. Chen Hao didn¡¯t know what was going on, so he could only nod his head. Hu Huimin was behaving strangely; she leaned on her hand with her cheek in her palm and drank as she looked at Chen Hao and smiled. Chen Hao blushed. Suddenly, Hu Huimin saw something. Then, she took a walkie-talkie from her pocket and said, ¡°Move!¡± She immediately leaped up and sprung toward a youth that was sitting on a sofa. Chen Hao looked and noticed a few other young people also speeding toward that youth; they surrounded him, just like how it was often shown on television shows. The youth that was originally drinking was soonpletely This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. covered from sight as the people that surrounded him pinned him to the floor. ¡°Ah!!¡± The other people there let out a piercing scream. ¡°Don¡¯t move! Police!¡± That person was quickly handcuffed. Oh, wow! It turned out that she was already a police and was working on a case. I see, no wonder she was so friendly to me just now and chatted with me. She even smiled at me. Turned out that she was acting, Chen Hao thought bitterly with a smile. Then, he thought of the Dragon Tiger Brothers who were beating up the group of bodyguards. Would they happen to get caught by Hu Huimin? That would be embarrassing. ¡°Huh! That rotten character. After watching him for a few days, we are finally done with this job. Huimin, you have worked hard. Let¡¯s drink together. What do you think?¡± said a tall and handsome guy who immediately looked at Hu Huimin and smiled. As for the suspect, naturally, there were people to take him away. Next to Hu Huimin, there were a few young policewomen in in clothes that gathered around. ¡°Wow, Junwen, we want a drink too. Aren¡¯t you going to treat us?¡± the girls said, full of envy. ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll treat everybody. Come let¡¯s drink at another bar,¡± Shen Junwen smiled and said. ¡°Right, Huimin, do you know that guy? I saw both of you talking just now.¡± A girl secretly pointed at Chen Hao, who was sitting at the bar. ¡°Yeah, I know him. We went to high school together. At that time, I was the captain of the school team and he was my team member.¡± ¡°Haha, I see. Ask him toe over for a chat. Look at him, he¡¯s so clean-cut. What does he do?¡± asked a girl. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I was about to ask him,¡± Hu Huimin replied as she shook her head and smiled bitterly. Then, she looked at Chen Hao and said in a faint voice, ¡°Chen Hao! Come here!¡± Chapter 303 Your Friend is Going to be in Trouble Chapter 303 Your Friend is Going to be in Trouble Hu Huimin made a hooking gesture with her finger at Chen Hao. Given Chen Hao¡¯s current identity, he didn¡¯t want to simply give in and go over to her so pathetically. After all, he wasn¡¯t one to be ordered around by her. Previously, while they were still studying, there were a few times when they attendedpetitions. Maybe Hu Huimin was used to being the team captain, so she often said things like, ¡°Chen Hao, have you moved the few boxes of mineral water bottles like you were supposed to?¡± ¡°Chen Hao, go and lend a hand with the luggages.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± The point was that Hu Huimin might¡¯ve been used to giving orders. When he heard this, he was speechless, but he still went over while smiling bitterly. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s true. Chen Hao listens to you.¡± ¡°He dares to not listen? Hu Huimin used to be his team captain. Now, she is a sergeant. If he doesn¡¯t listen, she will catch him. Haha!¡± a girl jokingly said. ¡°Chen Hao, I remember that you used to be really, really poor. But now you¡¯re drinking at a bar. Did you somehow get rich?¡± Hu Huimin asked. She had been wondering about this since just now. ¡°Huh? Chen Hao was really poor?¡± The girls were surprised. ¡°Yes. During our high school days, Chen Hao¡¯s family was well known for being poor. He ate one meal a day. Sometimes, he couldn¡¯t even afford to pay the school fees. The point is, he was so poor that it was hard for one to imagine,¡± Hu Huimin said. She didn¡¯t have any ulterior meaning when she said this. Since she was young, she developed a personality that was straightforward and capable; she said whatever was on her mind and didn¡¯t care about protecting Chen Hao¡¯s feelings. She had been like this since their high school years. Hu Huimin would sometimes talk about embarrassing things in public. Perhaps, in her eyes, being poor was not a big deal. However, at this moment, the way the girls viewed Chen Hao had turned to one of pity, because previously, everybody thought that he was the son of a wealthy family. ¡°In that case, take your studies seriously. Study hard. It is better to concentrate on your studies and career.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I used to have a junior high school friend who had a high fever when he was young and his brain was not sharp after that. So, he started work very early. Now, he owns a shop. Therefore, Chen Hao, you must work hard too!¡± Before Chen Hao could say anything, the few girls interrupted him and started talking non-stop. Chen Hao didn¡¯t exin anything, but merely only smiled bitterly and nodded his head. ¡°Alright, Huimin, let¡¯s go have a drink!¡± Shen Junwen put his hand into his pocket and lit a cigarette; to him, there was no more need to speak to Chen Hao anymore. ¡°Okay, are you going, Chen Hao?¡± a girl mindlessly asked. ¡°Why should he go? He won¡¯t understand anything we talk about,¡± said Hu Huimin. Personally, she knew that her colleagues were probably only being polite. However, Hu Huimin was secretly worried that Chen Hao was unaware and wouldn¡¯t be able to tell that it was an invitation out of pure courtesy; if that happened, it would be inconvenient. To let him tag along in this kind of situation, Hu Huimin felt ufortable. Then, she smiled and waved at Chen Hao; soon, the few of them left the bar. Looking back at the door, it seemed that the Dragon Tiger Brothers had finished their task. They were smoking and leaning against the wall, looking at Young Master Chen; they must had been waiting for Chen Hao for quite awhile. ¡°Settled? Where¡¯s Yang Lu?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°She¡¯s crying inside,¡± Tian Long said, smiling. Chen Hao shook his head helplessly. Then, the three of them left together. ¡°Young Master Chen, those people are your schoolmates?¡± asked Tian Long after they came out. ¡°One of them was my schoolmate from high school. Why?¡± ¡°From the looks of it, those few people are either graduates of the Police Academy or the Military Academy. They must have gone through military training,¡± Di Hu said as he smoked. ¡°Both of you are not bad. You can tell even that. The one I was speaking to? Her name is Hu Huimin and she graduated from the Police Academy. Now, she is in the police force. That¡¯s quite something.¡± ¡°Since she was your schoolmate, then I will be straightforward with you, Young Master Chen. This schoolmate of yours and her colleagues might get into trouble tonight,¡± Tian Long said after he rified the matter. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Huh?¡± Chen Hao started. ¡°Just now, when they left, we saw two people following them. In fact, the two people were armed and had a murderous aura around them. They have gone through military training too and they have definitely killed before,¡± Tian Long answered. Actually, if he didn¡¯t hear this from the Dragon Tiger Brothers¡¯ mouths, Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t have believed it. Just now, Chen Hao watched Hu Huimin and the rest as they walked out, but he didn¡¯t notice such a situation. But who was he to speak? He couldn¡¯tpare to the Dragon Tiger Brothers in terms of this; these two people would definitely not joke with him. Strictly speaking, he didn¡¯t have much of a rtionship with Hu Huimin. What they had in high school could only be roughly considered a rtionship between a boss and an employee. However, at the end of the day, she was still his schoolmate; since he knew that there would be trouble, his mind would not be in peace if he didn¡¯t rescue them. At the moment, Chen Hao didn¡¯t feel like exposing his identity because there were still a lot of things that he wanted to do in the future! Therefore, he started weighing on his options in his heart. After making arrangements with the Dragon Tiger Brothers, Chen Hao sprinted to the bar where Hu Huimin was headed to. When he got there, Hu Huimin and the rest had already started drinking; they were seated in front of a big table. ¡°Hey! Huimin, look, why is Chen Hao here?¡± A girl spat her mouthful of beer, then pointed at Chen Hao with surprise. When Chen Hao noticed them, he walked over. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Hu Huimin frowned this time; she thought Chen Hao was being clingy, so her tone of speech was one of annoyance. Really? We were only being courteous with you just now, and you actually took our invitation for drinks seriously. My god, what kind of person is he? ¡°I¡¯m only here to tell you not to stay outte tonight. It is quite dangerous. There are a few people who are targeting you people,¡± Chen Hao said. That was all he said to give Hu Huimin a heads up. ¡°Huh? Somebody is targeting us? Who? Why didn¡¯t I see them? Hehe. What do we do, and what do you do? If there really is somebody targeting us, that person would probably be none other than you!¡± If those words from Chen Hao came from her leader, Hu Huimin and the rest would have paid a lot of attention. If a closer friend said it, Hu Huimin would feel grateful. However, hearing thating out of Chen Hao¡¯s mouth felt like an insult to her profession; it was as if they were falcons and tigers, but a pig ran over to them and tried to im leadership. Of course she grew angry, and clearly expressed her emotions on her face. Chen Hao came mentally prepared for this situation when he came, so he merely nodded and left. ¡°This person is so annoying. He thinks he¡¯s on the same level as us, showing off like that.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Huimin, was he this annoying during high school?¡± The girls thought that Chen Hao was being meddlesome. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t want to talk about him. What¡¯s the point? Meng, Tian, let¡¯s go. Apany me to the washroom,¡± Hu Huimin said. Chapter 304 Young Master Long of the Long Family Chapter 304 Young Master Long of the Long Family Hu Huimin and her two friends went to the washroom together. Just as they were washing their hands, she suddenly noticed two women with long, wavy hair and sharp gazesing straight for them. Immediately, Hu Huimin knew something was wrong. ¡°What are you doing?¡± she and her friends asked in unison. Suddenly, the girl called Tian yelled, ¡°Ah! You two are actually men in disguise? Huimin, look! They have Adam¡¯s apples!¡± ¡°How smart of you. But it¡¯s toote now, because we¡¯re here to kill you!¡± The two men sneered and took out guns with silencers on them before aiming straight at Hu Huimin. ¡°Ah!¡± The two girls were newly recruited cadets, so they were scared to death in the face of a life- threatening situation. Hu Huimin herself was also drenched in cold sweat as she remembered Chen Hao¡¯s words. If she¡¯d listened to his warning about being targeted and took precautions, this never would have happened. ¡°Hmph, we¡¯re going to avenge all our brothers that you arrested! Enough talk, it¡¯s time for you to die!¡± With that, the two pulled their triggers. Hu Huimin squeezed her eyes shut and waited for the gunshots. Just then, she heard two swooshing sounds. When she opened her eyes, the two assassins were clutching at their throats and momentster, they stiffened and fell to the ground twitching. After that, they becamepletely still! ¡°What? What¡¯s going on?¡± the two girls said. They were astonished, but also relieved that they¡¯d survived the ordeal. Meanwhile, Hu Huimin was nervously looking outside, but no one was there. Suddenly, there was a loudmotion outside and the sound of hasty footsteps. A secondter, Shen ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Junwen barged into the washroom with a dozen policemen. ¡°Are you all okay, Huimin? F*ck, you did get into trouble like that poor boy said. Inspector Wang just called, saying there were assassins who¡¯d slipped through international borders and they were targeting us!¡± Shen Junwen said in a panicked tone, then flinched in surprise when he saw the two guys lying on the floor. After that, the captain arrived with his squad and narrowed his eyes when he saw the two assassins on the ground. ¡°That¡¯s them! The A-grade, internationally wanted criminals!¡± ¡°Huimin, who subdued them?¡± the captain asked curiously. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Just now, they were going to shoot us when they suddenly clutched at their throats, stopped moving and fell to the ground just like that!¡± Hu Huimin felt like her mind waspletely nk, because everything that just happened was simply too absurd. The captain stared at the necks of the two men and eximed, ¡°Amazing! It¡¯s the long-lost Art of the Vein-Sealing Silver Needle!¡± ¡°Art of the Vein-Sealing Silver Needle? You mean a martial arts expert saved Huimin and the others?¡± Shen Junwen asked. ¡°Ha! An expert? They¡¯re masters of their craft. When I was still a special ops soldier, our instructor spoke of his military career in China, where two men became legendary for their fighting prowess even in the Western world. Their signature move was the Vein-Sealing Silver Needle, and the Western world calls them Tian Long and Di Hu, the Dragon Tiger Brothers!¡± Respect and admiration shed across the captain¡¯s eyes. ¡°Rumor has it that they withdrewpletely from that world after an epic battle, and it was only during thest two years that we heard of them again. Apparently, they¡¯d pledged themselves to a mysterious n. The method used to subdue these two A-grade criminals is too simr to theirs. Dear lord, I wonder what they¡¯re doing here in Jin Ling?¡± he eximed. The rest of the squad stared at the captain in disbelief after hearing that, especially Hu Huimin; she¡¯d heard of the Dragon Tiger Brothers, so she became emotional. ¡°Huimin, what kind of people are you in contact withtely? Who were those powerful people who helped you like this? We were already surprised when we got the tip-off, but now it looks like someone had found out about this beforehand and rescued you!¡± the captain said. ¡°What? I-I haven¡¯t been in contact with anyone like that. If I had to name someone, it¡¯d be¡­ Chen Hao?¡± But how was that possible? How could Chen Hao possibly have known such powerful people? But it was undeniable that he was the one who warned her of this! There must be something about this that Chen Hao knows! Hu Huimin thought to herself. Meanwhile, it was obviously Tian Long who subdued those criminals, but Chen Hao had refused to let him show himself. After all, this incident was but a minor bump in his daily life, and it wasn¡¯t like he¡¯d bump into Hu Huimin again anytime soon. Right now, he was more worried about the matter of Yang Xia. In the afternoon, he returned to the school and spotted someone familiar walking toward the campus just as he reached the gates. That someone was none other than Qin Ya, who looked a little down and lethargic. But when she passed Chen Hao, Qin Ya lifted her head up. ¡°Chen Hao? When did you get back?¡± Qin Ya was clearly a little surprised. ¡°Today, actually!¡± Chen Hao smiled. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Chen Hao. I¡¯d nned to attend your birthday celebration, but something came up so I couldn¡¯t go!¡± she said. Qin Ya still had those feelings for him, and she always thought that he was a nice person, so there were a lot of things she wanted to say to him. But even so, she clearly understood what was on Chen Hao¡¯s mind when he kept on avoiding her. ¡°Is there something bothering you?¡± Chen Hao asked. He¡¯d nned to leave the conversation at that but on second thought, he felt that would be too cruel. ¡°I¡¯m alright. Oh, right. Chen Hao, can you walk with me for a while? Just a walk?¡± Qin Ya looked at him. ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Hao replied, after some hesitation. At the same time, in a Maybach parked on the other side of the road, an impably dressed man watched Qin Ya and Chen Hao from the backseat; a glint of malice shed in his eyes as he did so. ¡°That¡¯s him, Young Master Long. The man who sheltered Miss Qin Ya when she was on the run¡ªChen Hao, also known as the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling!¡± the driver piped up. ¡°The one that Yang Xia was targeting, yes? Heh, he must have a death wish. Not only did he mess with my brother, now he¡¯s eyeing my woman too? We¡¯ll see how much crueler I am than Yang Xia when I get my hands on him!¡± Young Master Long said, having investigated Qin Ya thoroughly beforehand; he was no fool, after all. ¡°But Young Master Long, our Long family of Yan Jing may be powerful, but Chen Hao and his sister still call the shots in Jin Ling. Shouldn¡¯t we exercise some caution?¡± the driver said warily. ¡°Go to hell! I don¡¯t care who calls the shots here. They¡¯re all scum in the face of my family!¡± Young Master Long pped the driver. An ice-cold voice spoke from the passenger seat; it was a voice that belonged to a man with long hair and pale skin. ¡°Shall I take care of him immediately, Young Master Long?¡± ¡°Not yet, Poisonous Scorpion. Liu was right about Chen Hao¡¯s sister¡¯s influence in Jin Ling. Only a fool would risk direct confrontation. Don¡¯t worry, I have a n.¡± Young Master Long sneered. Chapter 305 VIP Banquet Chapter 305 VIP Banquet As Chen Hao walked with Qin Ya, he suddenly received a call from Li Zhenguo. ¡°Young Master Chen, there¡¯s a VIP banquet being held tonight. I hope you will be attending, because the guest list includes an appraiser of antiques from Nanyang who can inspect your jade amulet, not to mention countless VIPs from Jin Ling city and even the province.¡± Li Zhenguo was now assisting him in tracking Yang Xia down. He¡¯d mentioned this banquet to Chen Hao before, something about it being an annual urrence for VIPs of various sectors in Jin Ling¡¯s economy. It wasn¡¯t something Chen Hao could easily refuse, so he agreed to attend. Night fell as Chen Hao arrived at the venue, to discover that the ce was indeed crowded; Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei went there together with him. The banquet was being held at the Mountain and River Vi, the only other vi in Jin Ling Cityrge enough for major events, besides the Hot Springs Vi. It was owned by a forty year-old, middle-aged man named Qi Wei who Chen Hao had met several times. However, because he was always too smooth with his words, Chen Hao¡¯s impression of him was not that good. ¡°Oh ho, it¡¯s Young Master Chen!¡± Qi Wei jogged over after spotting Chen Hao and the others. Many other VIPs at the banquet also walked over at this point, mostly to greet him. ¡°Hi, Mr. Qi!¡± Chen Hao simply smiled and counted that as a greeting. After that, Huang Yonghao instinctively weaved his way through the vi and found the foremost table to take a seat. He¡¯d just sat down when Qi Wei jogged over again. ¡°Excuse me, Young Master Huang and Young Master Bai. You may not sit here today.¡± ¡°Huh? What do you mean, Qi Wei?¡± Huang Yonghao froze. He¡¯d attended this banquet countless times in the past and usually, the foremost table was reserved for his adoptive sister Chen Xiao. Therefore, as her adoptive brother, he was also entitled to a seat here. The fact that Chen Hao was now the richest man in Jin Ling gave them all even more reason to sit here. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. In the past, you sitting here would have been eptable. However, since things have changed this year, you¡¯re no longer allowed to do that,¡± Qi Wei said with a condescending smile. Many VIPs from across the province had been invited to this year¡¯s banquet, so it was inevitable that many of the wealthy businessmen on Chen Hao¡¯s side crowded over to watch. ¡°Hmph, I didn¡¯t want to sit here and look at that face of yours anyway! Fei, let¡¯s sit somewhere else! Young Master Chen, you can sit here!¡± Naturally, Huang Yonghao was looking out for his adoptive brother, Chen Hao, who nodded in reply and prepared to take a seat. ¡°Wait!¡± Qi Wei spoke up again. ¡°What now?¡± Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing, who¡¯d arrived earlier, were also walking over now. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that not even Young Master Chen can sit at the foremost table this year!¡± Qi Wei said with a smile. ¡°Damn it, Qi Wei, are you out of your mind? Try saying that again to my face!¡± Huang Yonghao seized Qi Wei by the cor; this coward was being especially annoying today. Qi Wei maintained his condescending smile and looked at Huang Yonghao, ¡°Please calm yourself, Young Master Huang. I¡¯ll say it one more time¡ªnot even Young Master Chen can sit here!¡± ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± the wealthy businessmen on Chen Hao¡¯s side questioned, unable to tolerate this anymore. ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s just that I have guests who are even more importanting here, and these seats are reserved for them.¡± Qi Wei shook off Huang Yonghao¡¯s hand, shocking everyone due to the prominence of the foremost seat and what it meant. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°It seems Qi Wei is forbidding Young Master Chen from sitting at the foremost seat!¡± ¡°Sh*t, where did he get the audacity to do that? As the biological brother of CEO Chen and the heir of her business, he has every right to sit where she usually sat. The nerve of that Qi Wei!¡± ¡°Hmph. Well, what¡¯s certain is that Young Master Chen has embarrassed himself today.¡± The guests started gossiping. Suddenly, a vehicr entourage of seven or eight extra-long Rolls-Royce Phantom motor cars pulled up outside the vi. Then, a dozen bodyguards d in ck exited and assembled into two lines. The grand spectacle attracts everyone¡¯s attention; even Chen Hao felt his gaze being drawn to the vi¡¯s exterior. Naturally, what happened next was a driver exiting his Phantom car and reverentially opening the back door. When a wealthy young man wearing a suit emerged with his hands in his pockets, the bodyguards all performed a ny-degree bow in unison. ¡°Who¡¯s that? What a grand entrance!¡± The crowd was stunned. Meanwhile, Qi Wei was running over. ¡°Wee, Young Master Long. Your presence brings much radiance to our vi!¡± Qi Wei said emotionally, also dropping into a ny-degree bow. ¡°What? Young Master Long? Of the Long family in Yan Jing?! That family has a heritage of centuries!¡± ¡°Damn! No wonder Qi Wei was being so brave tonight!¡± ¡°It¡¯s because Young Master Long is backing him!¡± Everyone started gossiping immediately. At the same time, many guests suddenly crowded toward Young Master Long. ¡°Wee, Young Master Long!¡± they shouted. ¡°Hello, my uncles and elders! Gosh, you¡¯re really putting old Long Shaoyun here on a pedestal! This is the first time I¡¯ve officially set foot in Jin Ling, let alone attend the city¡¯s VIP banquet. You all are so weing!¡± Long Shaoyun smiled. ¡°Nonsense, Young Master Long! Please, take a seat!¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master Long. Who else is more suited to the foremost seat?¡± Many of the wealthy guests, including some of Jin Ling¡¯s own barons, agreed in a mannerpletely contradictory to their previous attitude. Jin Ling may be home to some families like the Wang or Liu families, but none of them could even hold a candle to the Long family of Yan Jing. Rumor has it that the Long family have established their influence since the Qing dynasty, and that influence has not diminished at all. ¡°You¡¯re all being modest. I¡¯m not the star of the show today, since I only came because my sister-inw asked me to join the event!¡± Long Shaoyun chuckled. ¡°Sister-inw? Could it be Young Master Long Shaofeng¡¯s fiance? I¡¯ve heard about her, but I didn¡¯t know the engagement was confirmed!¡± Qi Wei asked with a wide smile. ¡°Exactly, Mr. Qi. Please take care of her!¡± With that, Long Shaoyun stepped aside as another driver opened the door to a separate car. This time, an extravagantly dresseddy emerged with a cute dog in her arms, nked by two girls who looked like they were her servants. ¡°After you, sister!¡± Long Shaoyun smiled. Under everyone¡¯s watchful gaze, thedy made her way to the foremost seat, shocking Bai Xiaofei and the others when they recognised her. By the time they¡¯d all turned to look at Chen Hao with wide eyes, Chen Hao himself was shocked motionless; thatdy was none other than the Yang Xia he¡¯d been looking for. Chapter 306 Humiliation Chapter 306 Humiliation For two days, Chen Hao had searched for Yang Xia, wondering what kind of person she¡¯d be. Yes, she¡¯d done many unforgivable things to him, but try as he might, his anger had never once turned to hatred. He¡¯d reminded himself over and over that Yang Xia was no longer the girl he knew during his first two years of university; she was a changed woman, and there was no need for him to hold back. But every time when he really needed it, he couldn¡¯t find it in himself to hate her. Instead, he remembered the time when they were still dating, and she never gave up on him no matter how poor he¡¯d be. After all, it was all too easy for Chen Hao to exact revenge on them with the power he held now. Take Yang Lu, for example. Today, he¡¯d been perfectly capable of teaching her a good lesson, maybe even a permanent one. But he still couldn¡¯t do it. Meanwhile, a corner of Yang Xia¡¯s lips lifted in a cold sneer when she spotted Chen Hao, and he got nothing more than a fleeting nce before she was guided by Qi Wei to the foremost seat. ¡°I say, why are you all standing there and gawking at us? Your seats are over there! Of course, if you insist upon sitting here, I wouldn¡¯t be able to stop you, Young Master Chen,¡± Qi Wei scoffed at Chen Hao, then pointed to the table next to the foremost one. To anybody else, acquiring that seat would have been an honor. But to Chen Hao, it only meant he was being looked down upon, and that meaning was not lost on his increasingly agitated supporters. In the meantime, the other guests were all watching the scene unfold with cold amusement. Chen Hao was smart enough to know what just happened¡ªthe Long family¡¯s supporters far outnumbered his, and practically everyone who¡¯d just greeted him warmly had been preparing for this humiliation. As Yang Xia and Long Shaoyun sat, she smiled at Chen Hao with a gaze that seemed to say, ¡°How does it feel to be humiliated like this?¡± ¡°Qi, you little¡ª¡± Huang Yonghao was pissed enough that he¡¯d turned pale. If it weren¡¯t for Chen Hao restraining him, he¡¯d have started a fight right then and there. Chen Hao, on the other hand, was trying to resolve the problem cautiously while he made his way to the second table. ¡°Hmph, how dare you try to beat me up! Truly, some people have no shame!¡± Qi Wei sneered. But Qi Wei¡¯s skin was thick enough that the next thing he did was to say, ¡°Come, Young Master Chen! I¡¯ll lead you there!¡± After that, Chen Hao and the others came to the second table. Chen Hao was just about to sit when Qi Wei shouted again, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Young Master Chen, but I¡¯ve reserved this seat for a different wealthy businessman. You can¡¯t sit here!¡± With a snort, some of the guests burst outughing. Chen Hao took a deep breath and moved to the neighboring seat. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Young Master Chen, but I¡¯ve reserved this seat too!¡± Chen Hao shot Qi Wei a re, then moved again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Young Master Chen, but I¡¯ve¡ª¡± Smack! Before Qi Wei could finish, Chen Hao¡¯s handnded on his face with a resounding smack; the impact of it was so forceful that Chen Hao¡¯s hand stung and Qi Wei was sent tumbling to the ground with a hand to his burning cheek. Naturally, this loud p also caught everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°H-How dare you p me?¡± Qi Wei said in disbelief, clutching at his swollen cheek. He was backed by Young Master Long, after all. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Qi. My hands were feeling itchy today, and I couldn¡¯t help myself!¡± Chen Hao sneered. Upon hearing those words, Qi Wei stood bolt upright and looked like he was about to retaliate. ¡°Hmm?¡± Chen Hao remained motionless, one hand still in his pocket. It took Qi Wei a while to realise the stakes at hand; no matter what anyone said, Chen Hao was still the richest man in all of Jin Ling and his sister was about as powerful as the Long family themselves. If he did retaliate, who knew how many Long families it would take to save his skin? Besides, there was no way the family would risk alienating the Chen siblings over him. The thought of that sent shivers down Qi Wei¡¯s spine. He¡¯d been given a free pass to humiliate Chen Hao, but angering him further was something he could never afford to do. ¡°Is it alright if I sit here, Mr. Qi?¡± Chen Hao sneered, then shook his painful wrist and sat down in the seat he¡¯d chosen earlier. ¡°Of course, Young Master Chen. Take a seat!¡± Qi Wei finally yielded. Meanwhile, Yang Xia was looking at Chen Hao with surprise. To be honest, she¡¯d always thought he¡¯d remain the submissive, low-profiled boy she knew, but the changes he¡¯d gone through were really drastic. In any case, they were drastic enough that the p had genuinely caught her off guard. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Of course, that meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. The banquet resumed and many of the bribed guests practically tripped over themselves to toast Young Master Long instead of Chen Hao, and their ignoring of him did not go unnoticed. ¡°Yonghao, Xiaofei, please apany me to the washroom!¡± Chen Hao grimaced and called Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei. ¡°God damn it, I¡¯ve had enough of those guests flocking to Long''s side. Young Master Chen, I feel like Long Shaoyun and your ex, Yang Xia, are doing this specifically to humiliate you!¡± Before long, Bai Xiaofei was punching the wall in anger. ¡°I know, right? Back then, whenever Sis showed up to one of these banquets, no one would so much as breathe too hard in her presence. Take Qi Wei, for example. Once, when he knocked over a cup in front of her, he immediately got on his knees and kowtowed! You¡¯re being too generous, Young Master Chen!¡± Huang Yonghao said. To be fair, both men knew that Chen Hao was kind at heart, and that was exactly why they went out of their way to look out for him. He may have grown up with his sister, but he still treated them with a kindness that she certainly did not possess. ¡°That¡¯s alright, we¡¯ll talk about itter.¡± Chen Hao took a tissue and began wiping his hands. ¡°Now, I just want to¡ª¡± He trailed off suddenly. There was a woman standing near the washroom door, leaning against a wall with her arms crossed and a cold sneer on her face that was directed at Chen Hao. He had no idea how long she¡¯d been watching them. Chen Hao had nned to say he wanted to take care of Yang Xia first, but now that thedy herself was here, he didn¡¯t dare say anything. Meanwhile, Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei took one look at Yang Xia and turned to Chen Hao. ¡°We¡¯ll wait outside, Young Master Chen!¡± After that, they left. Chapter 307 I Want to Get Back What I Lost Chapter 307 I Want to Get Back What I Lost ¡°The timing is right. I was also looking for an opportunity to chat with you properly.¡± When Chen Hao saw Yang Xia, his face turned a little red. After all, Chen Hao had veryplicated emotions. ¡°What do you want to chat with me about?¡± Yang Xia approached Chen Hao with a pleased look. ¡°However, I really want to know this. Now, I am nothing like the Yang Xia I used to be. Truth to be told, before this, I could only dream of the luxurious lifestyle you have now. But as for me, I couldn¡¯t experience this type of luxurious lifestyle, not even in my dreams. However, I am living a life of wealth and influence now. At that time, you embarrassed me and rejected me. Now, we are equals. I want to know what your feelings are now.¡± Yang Xia got closer and closer to him. ¡°I don¡¯t feel anything. I just want to rify everything with you. If you think that I have wronged you, if you have grudges with me or if you hate me, you can take them all out on me. There is no need to take revenge on the people around me,¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Hehe, what do you mean, ¡®If I think¡¯? Haven¡¯t you, Chen Hao, realized anything? Some things you did to me were way overboard.¡± Yang Xia¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red. Yang Xia had introspected over the previous events. True enough, when she got together with Lu Chen, she crossed the line with Chen Hao. But that, at best, was her way of getting back at him for causing her to suffer the contemptuous looks from people around her for two whole years, that was caused by Chen Hao. At that time, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that God was unfair and that she was being pathetic. She knew that she was very pretty. However, why didn¡¯t she have what other girls had? Other guys brought their girlfriends to buy bags, branded makeup, Apple smartphones, eat good food, and have good fun. However, she didn¡¯t have any of that. On the other hand, she had to use her own money to pay for this guy¡¯s expenses for two years. What did she do wrong? She didn¡¯t want to go on like this. Previously, she would do anything for love, including giving her everything. But in the end, was it so wrong that she wanted to be more realistic? Was it wrong for her for merely wanting to vent her emotions and fulfill her desires? However, she never thought that Chen Hao would be so rich after they broke up. At that time, of course she was full of regret. She was about to reach the light at the end of the tunnel, but instead, they parted ways. How could Yang Xia not regret it? Therefore, Yang Xia waited; she waited for Chen Hao to reconcile with her. All Chen Hao had to do was say the word, and she would¡¯ve returned to his side and be hell-bent on following him. But he didn¡¯t. He even flirted with other girls. Yang Xia hated it so much. From then on, the things she did became more and more drastic. But in the end, Chen Hao¡¯s identity as Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen was exposed. That day, although she was further grieved, she was also joyful, but more so than anything else, she felt that she had lost; she stayed with this guy for three years and was about to see glory and splendor, then, he chose to be N?velDrama.Org content. with another girl. So, that day, she abandoned her dignity as a girl and begged him to give her a chance, but all she got was his in rejection. In the end, she left Hot Spring Vi, no longer able to even stay back in school out of shame. After she left school, she grew to know better than anyone about the anxiety of uncertain futures and the society¡¯s hardships. She hated it! She hated it so much! All of these were Chen Hao¡¯s doing. So, she wanted him to suffer too; she wanted him to see her glorious self now and feel regret, even remorse. However, this guy didn¡¯t even apologize; he even expected her to take the initiative. Smack! Yang Xia raised her hand and gave Chen Hao a p. Chen Hao didn¡¯t retaliate. All he said was, ¡°If you can vent your anger by doing this, then hit me. After you¡¯re done, I hope that we can call it even, and we don¡¯t owe each other anything anymore.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Yang Xia angrily raised her palm and was about to go for another p. However, while her hand was still in mid-air, Yang Xia retracted her hand. ¡°You think it¡¯s so easy to get even? Let me tell you, don¡¯t even think about it. And, Chen Hao, the harm that you caused me won¡¯t be so easily settled with me hitting you.¡± Yang Xia took a deep breath and returned to her previous indifferent self. ¡°What else do you want?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Nothing much. Right, I heard that after we broke up, you had many female friends. One of them was called Su Ziyue?¡± Yang Xia said as she crossed her arms and smiled coldly. Chen Hao raised his head fiercely. ¡°What do you want to do? Yang Xia, I¡¯m telling you, if you dare to touch her, I will never let you go.¡± Yang Xia took a deep breath, frowned, and said, ¡°Hehe, and I¡¯m telling you, Chen Hao, right now, I don¡¯t care about anything anymore.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she took out her phone, and let Chen Hao watch a video call. The video stream showed Su Ziyue at a school picking her children up. She didn¡¯t even realize that she was being watched. ¡°You don¡¯t have to scare me. I¡¯m not afraid of you. Right now, I can do anything. Do you believe that? All I need is slightly over ten seconds, and Su Ziyue¡¯s life will be gone. Do you believe that I have this ability?¡± Yang Xia said fiercely. ¡°On top of that, don¡¯t think of saving Su Ziyue or alerting her. If you do this, you are just speeding up her demise.¡± Then, Chen Hao said, ¡°Then what do you want to do? As long as you don¡¯t touch the people around me, I will agree to some of your requests!¡± Smack! As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xia gave Chen Hao another p. ¡°Alright, I see that you are very affectionate now. So why, why were you so cold-hearted to me back then?¡± Yang Xia worked hard to control her emotions. ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to touch the people around you, that is not impossible. What about this? You help me with a few tasks. After you are done, we can consider our feud settled. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t ask you to kill anybody ormit arson,¡± Yang Xia said. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Firstly, I want you to toast me in front of the crowdter.¡± Chen Hao noded. ¡°No problem with this.¡± ¡°Then do this first.¡± As soon as Yang Xia finished speaking, she got ready to leave, pleased. But just as she was about to leave the bathroom, Yang Xia walked back in. ¡°I know you. To you, I¡¯m a dirty and deplorable girl. The kind of girl that will let anybody do anything for money. But let me tell you that I¡¯ve never been that kind of girl. Although I am now engaged, I still maintain my virginity, because I am a woman with dignity!¡± As soon as she said that, Yang Xia left. When Chen Hao heard this, he was momentarily stunned; Chen Hao had really never thought of that before. The truth was that Chen Hao inexplicably felt aplicated mixture of emotions; he couldn¡¯t understand if he was feeling touched or grateful. He had never expected that Yang Xia was still a virgin. Therefore, he felt guilty about how he treated Yang Xia before. However, guilty or not, Chen Hao knew that Yang Xia was indeed a different person from who she was before. He knew that he shouldn¡¯t have ill intentions, but he should not let his guard down either. Chen Hao then walked out. However, he didn¡¯t really understand the reason Yang Xia wanted him to make a toast to her in public. Chapter 308 Finding Faults Chapter 308 Finding Faults Chen Hao returned to his seat. At this moment, the rich businessmen were still toasting to Long Shaoyun and the others. Yang Xia threw Chen Hao a signal with a meaningful look, as she was saying, ¡°Look at them. They¡¯re so capable!¡± Huang Yonghao said displeasedly, ¡°Wait till my sister is back!¡± Chen Hao took a deep breath, picked up his wine ss, and walked toward Yang Xia. ¡°Hao, where are you going?¡± Huang Yonghao asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, Young Master Chen has his own thoughts!¡± Although Li Zhenguo was also surprised when Chen Hao walked toward them with his wine ss in his hands, he understood that he was definitely doing it for a reason. ¡°Ah! Are you here for a toast too, Young Master Chen?¡± When the rich businessmen saw Chen Haoing, they immediately made way for him. Once again, no matter how much they relied on the Long family, that was none of his business; they could never afford to offend Chen Hao, so they quickly stepped aside. Chen Hao stopped in front of Yang Xia. N?velDrama.Org content. Long Shaoyun tucked his hands into his pocket and smiled coldly while looking at Chen Hao. ¡°Xue, allow me to propose a toast to you!¡± Chen Hao raised his ss. Yang Xia should have stood up by now, but she remained seated while swirling the red wine in her ss. Suddenly, Yang Xia sshed the red wine onto Chen Hao¡¯s face, drenching him in the red liquid. ¡°Hmph! Okay, consider this ss of wine as my payback toward you for hurting me in the past!¡± Yang Xia sneered as she continued, ¡°Besides, stop calling me Xue! You don¡¯t have the rights to call me Xue! Please behave yourself!¡± ¡°What?¡± The scene of Chen Hao being sshed with red wine shocked many rich businessmen. Damn, this wasn¡¯t as simple as a p in the face. Li Zhenguo and the rest stood up abruptly. ¡°How dare you!¡± It seemed like a fight was about to begin. However, Chen Hao wiped the red wine off his face and signalled Li Zhenguo and the rest not to interfere. ¡°Okay, Miss Yang, are we good now?¡± Chen Hao raised his ss. ¡°Of course!¡± Yang Xia smiled lightly, raised another ss of wine and poured the wine over Chen Hao¡¯s head. ¡°Consider this ss of wine as my revenge toward you!¡± The crowd was stunned as they watched. Yang Xia finally drank the third ss of wine. It turned out that Yang Xia had been waiting for him here. Chen Hao was agonized beyond words as he returned to his seat. To be honest, Chen Hao wasn¡¯t afraid of Yang Xia; he just didn¡¯t know how to deal with her at the moment, especially when Yang Xia made it clear that she was still a virgin. Chen Hao could only let out a sigh as he nursed his own After theworking session, Li Zhenguo went to meet the appraiser of antiques from the Southern Region, Mr. Wei. As for Chen Hao, he went to look for Yang Xia. Yang Xia knew that Chen Hao woulde looking for her. At this moment, she was waiting for Chen Hao outside the manor. ¡°Miss Yang, I hope that you could dismiss the people you sent to hurt Su Ziyue! You¡¯ve achieved your goals of insulting me today!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Hehe! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not going to hurt her. You¡¯re the one that I¡¯m resentful of, and she has nothing to do with me, so why should I hurt her? As a condition, you¡¯ll need to promise me two more things!¡± Yang Xia said. Chen Hao let out a sigh. ¡°Okay, spill it out!¡± ¡°These two things should be easy for you to achieve. Firstly, you¡¯ll allow me to stay in your Cloud Mansion for a few days! Don¡¯t worry, I wouldn¡¯t extort your property. I just wanted to borrow it for a few days, isn¡¯t that easy?¡± Yang Xia said. ¡°Okay!¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°Thest thing should be easy too. You¡¯ll help me to teach someone a lesson and destroy his business! This person is a total scum, hence I believe it wouldn¡¯t be hard for you too!¡± Yang Xia said. ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°His name is Li Hongfeng. He¡¯s from the same vige as my parents, and he used to be blood brothers with my father. A while ago, he borrowed a few hundred thousand from my family to start a business in Jin Ling. However, when his business became sessful, he refused to return the money to us. Do you remember that I had taken a leave to go back to my hometown during my second year of university? He was the one who sent someone to hit my father. I¡¯ve told you all these before!¡± When she uttered herst sentence, Yang Xia¡¯s voice was obviously softer. After all, she had mentioned the past of both of them, which made her feel ufortable. ¡°I got it. But why are you asking for my help? You now have the capability to teach him any lesson you want to!¡± Chen Hao said curiously. ¡°Hehe! I¡¯m afraid that it wouldn¡¯t be effective if I¡¯m the one teaching him a lesson. It wouldn¡¯t be appropriate for me to ask the Long family for help on this matter either. Of course, that¡¯s not the main point. The main point is that you¡¯re a famous person in Jin Ling. The impact would be greater if you¡¯re the one doing this!¡± Yang Xia exined. ¡°That person is indeed a jerk. I remember that he sent someone to the school to block you. He¡¯s the one operating a bar here, isn¡¯t it?¡± Chen Hao also recalled the things that happened in the past. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him! A few of the girls in our vige were kidnapped and had their futures destroyed by him. My sister nearly became one of his victims! Don¡¯t you think he should be punished?¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do this for you, but I hope that you¡¯ll stop targeting my friends after this!¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll dismiss my people right now!¡± After finishing her words, Yang Xia turned around, went into the car, and the driver drove off. ¡°Young Master Chen, what were you talking about with that woman? You¡¯ve been too nice to her today!¡± At this moment, Bai Xiaofei and Huang Yonghao approached him. ¡°That¡¯s right, Young Master Chen!¡± Bai Xiaofei was furious on behalf of Chen Hao. ¡°I understand your concerns. I¡¯m not afraid of her, I just didn¡¯t want to deal with her. I hope that she will stop causing trouble after releasing her anger. That way we¡¯ll not owe each other anymore!¡± Chen Hao said casually. ¡°Oh, one more thing. I¡¯m going back to change in a while. Please apany me to a ceter on. Get enough manpower, we¡¯re going to deal with something!¡± Chen Hao said to Bai Xiaofei and Huang Yonghao. ¡°No problem, Young Master Chen! We¡¯ll get everything ready immediately!¡± They immediately went to make some phone calls without asking for further details. Chen Hao went back to Cloud Mansion and changed into a new set of clothes. He hopped into a car, and Bai Xiaofei drove Chen Hao and Huang Yonghao to a small bar in Jin Ling. ¡°Is this the ce, Young Master Chen?¡± Bai Xiaofei chuckled while smoking. The three of them walked toward the bar. ¡°I heard that this ce has prostitutes. It seems to be an illegal ce.¡± ¡°We¡¯re here because it¡¯s illegal!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°What? Are you serious, bro? Are we here for prostitutes?¡± Huang Yonghao was shocked. ¡°Bullsh*t! We¡¯re here to¡­¡± Chen Hao whispered to Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei the rest of his speech in a low voice. Then, their eyes lit up instantly. After that, the three of them strutted into the bar and picked a seat with a wide table in the hall, then they took their seats. Chen Hao was ncing around after he sat down. He spotted a bald middle-aged man covered in tattoos at the bar counter. He was standing with his hands tucked into his pockets, and he was chatting with a few gangsters. Chen Hao recognized this middle-aged man; he was the one who owed money to Yang Xia¡¯s father. When he was causing trouble to Yang Xia back then, Chen Hao was beaten up by one of his gangmates. Of course, if it wasn¡¯t because of Yang Xia bringing it up again, Chen Hao would have forgotten about it. This time, he promised Yang Xia to resolve this conflict. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t even care about her private matters. ¡°Sir, what would you like to order?¡± A girl with exquisite makeup approached them and took their order from Chen Hao, who was lying on the sofa with his legs on the table. ¡°Nothing!¡± Chen Hao replied softly with his eyes shut. ¡°Huh? Sir, we have¡­¡± ¡°F**k you! He said nothing! Didn¡¯t you hear that?¡± Bai Xiaofei kicked the side table as he stood up and roared at the girl... Chapter 309 Conflicts in the Bar Chapter 309 Conflicts in the Bar Many people in the crowd saw and heard the scene; they nced toward them instantly. The middle-aged boss casted a nce at them, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Who would dare to operate a bar or karaoke lounge without the necessary background and connections? There could be so many other things that such people were afraid of, but the only thing that they weren¡¯t afraid of was people causing trouble in their ces. Hence, he didn¡¯t pay much attention to them. At the same time, at a table on the other side of the bar, one of the girls heard themotion from the other side. When she nced toward them, she eximed in shock, ¡°What? Is it him?¡± One of the other girls asked the girl who spoke, ¡°What? Tian Fei, do you know him?¡± There were at least ten young gentlemen anddies surrounding the girl, and they were all here to have fun. ¡°Yes, I do know him!¡± Tian Fei nodded. ¡°Ahem, Tian Fei is working in the police force now, and she has been travelling from north to south, so she must know a lot of people. Tian Fei, please tell us about him. What¡¯s his background? He seemed quite steady!¡± some of the guys uttered in envy. After all, they were all youngsters looking to have fun, especially since they were in a bar filled with handsome men and beautifuldies, of course they would want to be the centre of attention and showcase themselves. However, not many people could truly showcase themselves in such ces. Hence, when they met an arrogant person, it would only be natural to understand his background. ¡°I¡¯m not that close to him. I¡¯ve only met him once when I was handling a case in the morning. He¡¯s in the same high school as one of my colleagues!¡± Tian Fei said. Tian Fei was none other than the colleague of Hu Huimin; she even teased Chen Hao this morning and asked for fun if he had a girlfriend. The things that happened this morning were under control by now.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . However, there were still a lot of mysteries left unsolved. Everyone was curious about Chen Hao, including Hu Huimin. Why so? It was because Chen Hao was the one who warned them about it, but none of them took his warning to heart at that point of time. None of them expected that what he warned would have truly happened. They all knew what happened next; the few girls were rescued by an expert at their moment of their life and death. It seemed like the expert wasn¡¯t nning to reveal his true identity. He seemed to be instructed to do so, and he was nning to forget about it after lending a hand. Hence, Hu Huimin and Tian Fei had been guessing. Especially after they returned, Tian Fei suspected that Chen Hao might have sent someone to rescue them. After all, Hu Huimin and Chen Hao were high school friends, and he knew about the situation. Hence, it was very likely for him to do so. However, the suspicion was voted down by Hu Huimin immediately, by saying that it was impossible, because she thought that Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t have such great capabilities. Originally, they were nning to interrogate Chen Hao, but their superior transferred the case, hence they were unable to investigate further. The celebration party was going to be held the next day. Tian Fei did not get to have fun despite being in bars twice this day, so since she was invited by her friends, she wanted to have a few drinks peacefully in the bar. She didn¡¯t expect that she would bump into Chen Hao. It seemed like he¡¯s trying to cause trouble! Tian Fei grew even more curious. ¡°Wow, why is he so great? He dared to cause a scene here with only three people beside him. Why don¡¯t you ask your colleague about his background?¡± a few girls asked. ¡°I know about his background. He was a poor student during high school. When I met him today, he was drinking alone in a bar. I didn¡¯t expect that he woulde to a bar again tonight. Originally, I thought that he was a down to earth man, but it turns out that he¡¯s trash in our society! Hmph! Such a useless man!¡± Tian Fei replied. ¡°I see. Damn, how dare a poor guy like him cause trouble here? Li Hongfeng would definitely destroy him this time. The boss, Li Hongfeng, is extremely powerful in this entire street!¡± one of the guys said. ¡°That¡¯s right, isn¡¯t it? Three months ago, someone came to the bar and caused a scene. He suffered terribly in the hands of Li Hongfeng,¡± one of the guys echoed. They were enjoying themselves as they watched the scene. As for Tian Fei, she thought to herself that both parties were evil and they should be fighting among themselves. Hence, she did not interfere. However, she was ready to make a police report at any time. Bang! At this moment, Chen Hao identally knocked over a vase on the table; a clear and crisp bang was heard. The sound attracted nces from the crowd. ¡°Sir, you¡¯re acting inappropriately. You¡¯re here in our bar without ordering any drinks, and you even broke a vase of ours!¡± the girl crossed her arms and sneered. She could sense that three of them were here with bad intentions. ¡°Isn¡¯t that just a cheap vase? F**k you, tell me the price and I¡¯llpensate you!¡± Huang Yonghao said. ¡°Okay, Mister, you¡¯re straightforward. However, you¡¯ll need to talk to my boss about the price!¡± After finishing her words, the girl looked at Li Hongfeng at the bar counter, who was already walking toward them. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Boss, the three of them refused to order any drinks in our bar, and they even crushed one of our vases! They''re probably here to cause trouble! However, they¡¯ve agreed topensate us for the vase,¡± the girl said. ¡°Haha, all is well as long as they¡¯re willing topensate us. You guys are extremely brave. How dare you offend me? I won¡¯t ask for much for this vase. Just pay me three million! How¡¯s that?¡± Li Hongfeng smoked a cigarette and sneered. At this moment, all the other people in the bar were watching them. After all, a conflict had aroused, and they were all watching the scene like they were watching a movie. The sound engineer even turned off the music. At the same time, a number of young men who were frequent customers of the bar surrounded Chen Hao and the others; their hair were dyed red and green. ¡°Hongfeng, what¡¯s the matter?¡± one of the guys asked. ¡°No big deal. It¡¯s just that they crushed one of my vases, and I¡¯m asking forpensation!¡± Li Hongfeng smiled. ¡°Look at the number of men I have with me. If you¡¯re not going topensate me for three million, I¡¯m afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be able to walk out of this bar!¡± The few thugs behind him rolled their necks and they were ready to fight at any time. Chen Hao smiled lightly. ¡°You¡¯re still so domineering, Li Hongfeng. How dare you ask for three million for such a cheap vase? Who gave you the courage to do so? Besides, do you still remember me? We¡¯ve met previously!¡± ¡°What? We¡¯ve met?¡± Li Hongfeng was stunned for a moment, then he immediately recalled. ¡°I was wondering why you look familiar to me. You¡¯re the boyfriend of the Yang family¡¯s daughter, aren¡¯t you? F**k you! I thought you¡¯re some big shot. Are you tired of living, little brat? You haven¡¯t learnt your lesson yet, have you? Let me say it again. If you can manage to pay me three million, I¡¯ll forget about this. If you can¡¯t, you can imagine what will happen to you!¡± Chen Hao smiled casually. Bai Xiaofei stood up and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go get the money for him. I¡¯ll be back in a second!¡± ¡°Boss, I think he¡¯s trying to call for help!¡± one of the men said. ¡°Let him go. I wanna know who he is capable of calling!¡± Li Hongfeng smiled in disdain. ¡°What the f**k, this is going to be big. The little brat was acting against Li Hongfeng directly! Didn¡¯t he know that Mr. Da Tou had shares in this bar that Li Hongfeng owned? Is he still nning to stay in Jin Ling?¡± a few men at Tian Fei¡¯s table said excitedly. ¡°Tian Fei, didn¡¯t you say that he¡¯s a schoolmate from the high school of your colleague? Should we help him?¡± one of the girls asked. ¡°Hmph, why should we help? He¡¯s in this situation because he overestimated himself. Although Li Hongfeng was infamous for his bad deeds, Chen Hao should take a look at himself. How could he even afford to offend him?¡± Tian Fei crossed her arms. After a while, someone in the bar suddenly yelled, ¡°Guys, look, isn¡¯t that Mr. Da Tou? Mr. Da Tou is here!¡± Chapter 310 The Untouchable Long Family Chapter 310 The Untouchable Long Family ¡°Huh? That can¡¯t be right, why¡¯s Mr. Da Tou following that kid? Sh*t, wasn¡¯t that the kid who went out?¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s the guy! It looks like he called Mr. Da Tou when he said he was looking for backup? But that can¡¯t be right.¡± Some of the bar¡¯s patrons started specting amongst themselves, but they were quickly silenced by the unbelievable, eye-widening sight before them. With the sound of footsteps numerous enough to create a thunderous roar, a huge squad of bodyguards in ck and some young men dressed like wealthy people entered the bar. Li Hongfeng himself felt intimidated by the extravagant disy of power, because the young men alone seemed like they shouldn¡¯t be messed with, let alone the squad of bodyguards. ¡°Young Master Chen, Mr. Da Tou here is Li Hongfeng¡¯s benefactor. I¡¯ve brought him!¡± Bai Xiaofei walked over and sat next to Chen Hao. ¡°Y-Young Master Chen! I was blind to have coborated with the wrong person. Please, have some generosity and forgive me!¡± The forty-year-old man bowed again and again, his whole back drenched in cold sweat; it was clear he knew what was going on. ¡°Mr. Da Tou, why are you being so nice to this kid?¡± Li Hongfeng asked, confused. Big Head Brother gave him a loud p. ¡°F*cking hell, look what you did! You must have a death wish to mess with Young Master Chen like that! You¡¯re done for when this is all over, you hear?¡± Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did you guys see that? I think I saw Mr. Da Tou bowing to Chen Hao?¡± the boy beside Tian Fei asked. ¡°Yeah, what¡¯s happening right now? Did any of you hear what Mr. Da Tou said to Chen Hao? I didn¡¯t catch a single word over all this noise!¡± a girl eximed. ¡°I can¡¯t hear anything, and I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on!¡± After thatmotion, Tian Fei found it even harder to catch anything on Chen Hao¡¯s side. All she could see was that Chen Hao patted the back of the head of that clueless, terrified Li Hongfeng, while he was sprawled on the ground, then left with his posse and a single hand in his pocket. Meanwhile, Mr. Da Tou followed closely behind to send him off. At this point, many of the customers also followed Chen Hao to see what themotion was all about. This was understandable, since everybody was caught off guard by the turn of events and wanted to know who this powerful man was. As a result, both men and women emptied the bar within moments. ¡°Hey Tian Fei, why don¡¯t we take a look too? Listen, the crowd¡¯s already going wild. What do you think is going on out there?¡± the girls said, unable to resist their curiosity. After some hesitation, Tian Fei nodded because she was curious as well. To be fair, a boy who gave people the first impression as a broke man, would surprise any girl if he suddenly became this powerful. Not to mention when Tian Fei considered the previous incidents, her curiosity only deepened. So, the group went out and suddenly realized why everyone was screaming. Even Tian Fei herself put a hand to her mouth after letting out a surprised scream; she was overwhelmed by the sight of countless Ferraris and luxury Maybachs outside, blocking the entrance of the bar. Luxury cars! How many people could possibly resist this temptation, let alone a situation in which so many of them showed up with a grand entrance. Tian Fei was so overwhelmed that she could feel her cheeks heating up. After scanning the area, her suspicions were confirmed ¡ªChen Hao was standing next to a cool- looking Lambhorgini, the most luxurious car among them all. Not only that, a bodyguard opened the door for him just before he stepped in and drove away. Some of the girls gulped in surprise. ¡°Huh?! What¡¯s all this? Tian Fei, you lied to us! D-Didn¡¯t you say that he was just a loser? Then what¡¯s all this?¡± they shrieked. ¡°Why would I be lying?! It¡¯s true! He¡¯s¡­ really just a¡­¡± Tian Fei trailed off out of nervousness, because she herself could not exin what happened. In hindsight, when she¡¯d first met Chen Hao, she did find him charismatic and attractive. In fact, she¡¯d even asked if he was single because she herself was single, and there was nothing wrong with getting to know a handsome guy, right? So since when did her perception of him start to change? Oh, right. It was after Hu Huimin introduced Chen Hao to them, and she developed feelings of disgust toward him. She felt that a poor boy like him had no business being in a bar. It was only now that Tian Fei noticed a minor detail ¡ªChen Hao barely spoke throughout the entire meeting; on the contrary, he only spoke when he had to warn them of danger and even then, they had beenughing at him out of disbelief and sarcasm. Ah, that confirmed her theory of what happened! Chen Hao was theplete opposite of who Hu Huimin said he was. He was actually very powerful, so much so that even the masters that the captain said had saved them could be working for Chen Hao in the first ce! ¡°Who exactly are you, Chen Hao?¡± Tian Fei said, frustrated. At that moment, she was tempted to tell Hu Huimin about her big discovery, but stopped and put down her phone at thest minute. It was better to keep her in the dark, because the ability to keep secrets was a sign of maturity, and she had no need to go telling Hu Huimin about everything. Meanwhile, Chen Hao had found Yang Xia and tossed a ring of keys to her. ¡°Here, the keys to the Cloud Mansion. You can live there for a month, and I¡¯ve taken care of Li Hongfeng. I hope you know that even if we did sh, you have no power over me. Also, we stop owing each other anything after you take those keys.¡± After that, Chen Hao turned to leave. ¡°Hmph, what do you mean by this? Wow, do you really hate me this much? Enough that you have no interest in continuing this conversation at all?¡± Yang Xia said hastily. ¡°Nope!¡± Chen Hao replied sinctly. Yang Xia took the keys, then said, ¡°Look, I know you have a new girlfriend. I¡¯ve heard that you and Qin Ya are quite close, but since we used to date, here¡¯s a word of advice¡ªstay out of her business! I¡¯m serious, you have no idea what the Long family is like, and you would certainly have no knowledge of what Long Shaoyun is like. Your Jin Ling Group may be powerful, but if that family wants you dead, it would be as easy as squishing arge ant, you hear me?¡± ¡°I never nned to continue interfering in Qin Ya¡¯s matter in the first ce. Of course, even if I did, I¡¯m not afraid of the Long family, so you can stop with the horror stories!¡± Chen Hao said simply. ¡°Hmph, all that kindness for nothing. Fine, I¡¯ve already warned you to stay away from Qin Ya, so you¡¯d better not regret what you¡¯re doing!¡± Yang Xia nced at Chen Hao before leaving. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t lying about him staying out of Qin Ya¡¯s business. If he wasn¡¯t going to get together with her, then what was the point of helping her this much? Besides, she was more suited to someone from the Long family, and there was no way he¡¯d measure up to that. Suddenly, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang... Chapter 311 Origins of The Jade Chapter 311 Origins of The Jade Chen Hao took out his phone to check, and realized that it was Li Zhenguo who called. ¡°Young Master Chen, it''s regarding the jade. We finally have some news about it!¡± Li Zhenguo said on the other side of the call. ¡°Oh? Where are you now?¡± Chen Hao asked. He had actually met Wei Zhongyuan, also known as Mr. Wei, the well known appraiser of antiques from the Southern Region in the banquet previously; he even made a toast with him at the time. He had something to do after the banquet, hence he asked Li Zhenguo to bring along Mr. Xu to Mr. Wei¡¯s ce. With Mr. Xu¡¯s expertise, he could only tell that the jade originated from Southwest Chengdu. However, they still couldn¡¯t figure out the specific ce of origin. It seemed like the results were determined since Li Zhenguo called him. ¡°I¡¯m currently with Mr. Xu in Mr. Wei¡¯s manor. Young Master Chen, do you want toe over?¡± Li Zhenguo asked. ¡°Alright, wait for me. I¡¯ll be right there!¡± He bid goodbye to Huang Yonghao and the others once he ended the call, and rushed directly to Mr. Wei¡¯s manor. Mr. Wei and his family had been thriving and making a name in the Southern Region. However, ording to Li Zhenguo, his hometown was here in Jin Ling. He built his foundation in Jin Ling back then, and only returned to his hometown, Jin Ling as he approached hister years. Even in that banquet, the Wei family was also considered as a reputable family. That was the reason why Chen Hao wouldn¡¯t dare to treat them with negligence and went there directly in person. The Wei family¡¯s residence was situated in a manor. When Chen Hao arrived, Mr. Wei was seen to be savoring tea with Li Zhenguo and Mr. Xu. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Li Zhenguo and Mr. Xu arose as they greeted him respectfully. Chen Hao nodded to them and said to Mr. Wei, ¡°I''m really grateful for this matter, Mr. Wei!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen, you are being courteous. Please take a seat!¡± After exchanging greetings, Mr.Wei went straight to the point. ¡°Young Master Chen, I recognize this piece of jade. It should have originated from a family in Liang City of Chengdu. This type of jade is very rare. Fortunately, fifty years ago, I followed my master to Liang City. I was fortunate toe across a simr one at the time, worn by a local teenager. This should be their family¡¯s crest!¡± Mr.Wei said. ¡°Which family is this?¡± Chen Hao asked right away. Honestly, Chen Hao initially had no interest in looking for this woman, Mengxin, on behalf of his dad. However when he found out that the woman Su Ziyue was looking for had many simrities with the Meng Xin that his dad was looking for, he was intrigued. Was it possible that Su Ziyue was his half sister? Why did he have an inexplicable sense of familiarity whenever he was with Su Ziyue? There were definitely some things to uncover. Chen Hao knew that even if he questioned his dad, he wouldn¡¯t get any answers. Therefore, he was determined to find things out on his own. Mr. Wei shook his head. ¡°Earlier I was just discussing this with Mr. Xu and Mr. Li. The teenager at the time was rather young, so I only had a nce, which was why it left an impression on me. However I don¡¯t know which family he¡¯s from in Liang City. Mr. Li and I scoured all the major families in Liang City, and as a result, we couldn¡¯t find any families with such traditions!¡± Mr. Wei said. ¡°Alright, but since this jade originated from Liang City, I believe it will not be hard to investigate when the timees!¡± Chen Hao smiled lightly. After that, everyone just started discussing some casual matters. At this time, Mr. Xu got up and walked toward a pendulum clock in Mr. Wei¡¯s home, and asked out of curiosity, ¡°Mr. Wei, this pendulum clock, if I¡¯m not mistaken, it is from the Republican era of China?¡± Mr.Wei nodded and said, ¡°You¡¯re right, this is indeed a clock from the Republican era of China, a product of M Country, and it was formerly ced inside the Presidential Pce of the Republic of China!¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Mr. Xu waspletely shocked. ¡°How were you able to obtain this?!¡± ¡°Ah, you¡¯re being funny, Mr. Xu. This was given to me as a gift by the Long family of Yan Jing City!¡± It seemed that Mr. Wei didn¡¯t realize that there was some animosity between the Long family and Chen Hao. He definitely didn¡¯t feel like anything was off. Chen Hao merely smiled lightly and sipped on his tea. ¡°Grandfather, you still have guests at this hour?¡± At this moment, from the second floor, a girl in her pajamas walked out. She was staring curiously at Chen Hao and the others. ¡°That¡¯s right, Jiao. Come here and greet Young Master Chen. Weren¡¯t you curious about Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen a while back?¡± Mr.Wei smiled and said. ¡°So he¡¯s the Young Master Chen, Chen Hao?¡± Wei Mengjiao was walking down slowly as her eyebrows rose slightly, staring at Chen Hao from head to toe. ¡°Hehe, greetings, Young Master Chen, my name is Wei Mengjiao, but you can just call me Jiao!¡± Wei Mengjiao said. ¡°Yes, Jiao, it¡¯s nice to meet you. You may call me Chen Hao!¡± Chen Hao said, shaking hands with her. This girl was definitely gorgeous; she was a rare type of beauty. After chatting with her for a while, she definitely seemed amicable towards others. Chen Hao had a very good impression of her. Furthermore, she was rather good at conversations, talking with Chen Hao about this and that. ¡°Chen Hao, since you¡¯re the important Young Master Chen, what kind of activities do you do for entertainment?¡± Wei Mengjiao asked. ¡°Me? Well I don¡¯t usually participate in a lot of activities!¡± Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°Hmm, I don¡¯t believe it. You must be the type that ys really openly, haha!¡± Wei Mengjiao said abruptly. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she added, ¡°Ah yes, I¡¯ve got some friends from Jin Linging over tomorrow. I¡¯m hosting a get together with them. If you¡¯re free tomorrow, would you like to join us?¡± Chen Hao kept silent. ¡°Jiao, preposterous! How could young master Chen be ying around with your bunch of friends!¡± When Mr. Wei heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. ¡°Fine!¡± Wei Mengjiao pouted. As for Chen Hao, he realized that he owed a great favor to Mr. Wei, and it was embarrassing to reject someone¡¯s granddaughter like that. So, he nodded and smiled. ¡°Alright then, if I¡¯ve got some free time tomorrow, I¡¯ll definitely go!¡± ¡°Okay, then this is your promise!¡± Wei Mengjiao smiled. Not long after that, Chen Hao and Li Zhenguo left Mr.Wei¡¯s home. Originally, Chen Hao wanted to return to Cloud Mansion and rest over there, but he recalled that Cloud Mansion was now upied by Yang Xia. Thus he let Li Zhenguo arrange a hotel for him to spend the night. ¡°Stinky beggar, scram away from here, do you hear me?¡± Chen Hao heard several guards saying as they pushed an old man away at the entrance of the hotel as he arrived there; the old man had a muddied appearance, his hair was dirty and inplete disarray. ¡°What food? I don¡¯t want any food, I just want to borrow your facilities to take a shower,¡± the old man said. ¡°In our dreams, do you not realize what an important ce this is in Jin Ling?¡± a guard sneered coldly. ¡°Heh, then let me tell you all. I¡¯m no outsider, I¡¯m actually Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen¡¯s grandfather. Young Master¡¯s Chen is my grandson. Hurry up and let me in!¡± ¡°Damn you! You filthy old man, I¡¯ll take care of you!¡± The guard was about to make a move. As for Chen Hao, he didn¡¯t really bother with peopleing to make trouble, because the guards were there. With regards to what the old man said, he didn¡¯t really mind it at all. But after Chen Hao nced at the old man, he paused for a moment... ¡°Hold it right there,¡± Chen Hao said immediately. Chapter 312 The Strange Old Man Chapter 312 The Strange Old Man Chen Hao stared at the old man; he was the one who ckmailed him when Qin Ya disappeared the ¡°It¡¯s you again?¡± Chen Hao frowned slightly. ¡°Aha, grandson! It¡¯s you again eh? Anyways, hmph, these guards won¡¯t let me pass. Why don¡¯t you tell them to let me in?¡± the old man said with his hand on his waist. ¡°What do you need to enter for? I¡¯m telling you, I did you a favor thest time, and even healed your injured leg. This time you still want to rely on me? Do you really think I don¡¯t have a temper at all?¡± Chen Hao replied impatiently. Out of sympathy, Chen Hao has already helped him once. But trying to get him to help a second time or a third time was just too much! ¡°Grandson, how could you say it like that? What do you mean I¡¯m trying to rely on you? It just seems to me that you look so much like my grandson that I¡¯ve been separated from for years. I believe that he¡¯d be about your age by now,¡± the old man said while looking sorrowful as he bowed his head. ¡°Old man, you sure have a way with words. Do you think I won¡¯t dare to beat you?¡± threatened the guard. Chen Hao also felt pity toward this old man, hence he raised his hand to stop them. ¡°Yes, Young Master Chen!¡± The guard stepped aside obediently. The old man was sitting pitifully at the doorway. As for Chen Hao, perhaps he couldn¡¯t bear to watch anymore, thus he took out a thousand from his wallet and gave it to him. ¡°Alright, I know that all you want is money. This will be thest time, take this money and get out of here!¡± Chen Hao said, knowing that giving him more money would only fuel his bad habits. There was really no other way, because he was unwilling to raise his hands against the elderly. ¡°I don¡¯t want any money, grandson. I just want to go in and take a bath. Look at me, my clothes are all torn and shabby!¡± The old manughed. Chen Hao pointed his index finger toward the old man¡¯s nose and warned, ¡°I¡¯m warning you, stop calling me grandson! As for wanting to take a shower, go ahead and shower at the bathroom over there!¡± Chen Hao said as he handed the money over to the guard and turned away. The guard instantly knew what to do. ¡°Damn you, old man, Young Master Chen is kind-hearted, allowing you to go and shower there. F*ck, I¡¯ll bring you over!¡± the security guard said as he pulled the old man away. ¡°Thank you grandson!¡± ¡°Stop calling him that!¡± This incident was considered a minor episode. After Chen Hao returned to his room, he got ready to wash up and take a rest. Not long after he was done with washing up, he heard a knock on the door. Chen Hao opened the door to peek out and was immediately startled; it was the old man. ¡°I say, what on earth are you doing? How did youe up here?¡± Chen Hao was dazed. The hotel¡¯s elevator could only be activated by an electronic ess card. Furthermore, the floor he was on was reserved for VIPs. If a person wanted toe up, he or she would have to go through a security checkpoint. Yet somehow the old man managed to find his way here. ¡°Hehehe, since I came looking for you, grandson, are you going to give me a ce to stay?¡± The old man was snickering away. ¡°Furthermore, grandson, did you forget the favor you owe me from thest time? You managed to find the girlie with the clue that I gave you!¡± ¡°What I want to know now, is how did you get up here?¡± Chen Hao was scratching his head in wonder. The old man was indeed much cleaner right now. But judging on the smile he gave, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t think that he had any good intentions. ¡°Oh oh, you¡¯re referring to those ss doors? It was easy, I simply poked them with my fingers and they all stopped working. That was how I got up here!¡± the old man said. There was a sudden loud rumble as the ss doors opened all of the sudden. A dozen guards rushed up all at once, electric batons in their hands. Obviously, these guards only rushed up there after observing the security cameras. ¡°You despicable old man, we finally found you!¡± The guards circled around him. ¡°Young Master Chen, after the old man took a shower, he slipped past us in the lobby while we weren¡¯t paying attention. He overheard the receptiondy mention your room number and somehow messed up the security to get up here! We¡¯ll get him away now!¡± Chen Hao didn¡¯t speak this time; the old man was only getting more and more mysterious to him. It was also at this moment that Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang; it was Su Ziyue. Regarding the day¡¯s matters, Chen Hao sent a text message to Su Ziyue to tell her about it, and after she had taken a look, she immediately gave Chen Hao a call. Chen Hao nced at the old man for a moment and picked up the call. ¡°Su Ziyue, have you gone through the report?¡± ¡°Yes. Well Chen Hao, what should I do next? W-Will I really be able to find my mother?¡± Su Ziyue asked excitedly. ¡°You will. Rest assured, I¡¯m also looking for this woman. Give me a few days to settle some matters, and I¡¯ll apany you to go look for her. Besides I¡¯m concerned about you going to Chengdu on your own!¡± Chen Hao smiled lightly. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯m d.¡± After the brief conversation, Chen Hao ended the call. At this very moment, the guards were dragging the old man away. ¡°Chengdu? Grandson, I¡¯m also going to Chengdu. That¡¯s my hometown, bring me along! Grandson!¡± the old man was shouting. The old man somehow broke away from the guards, rushed toward Chen Hao and pleaded, ¡°That¡¯s my hometown, grandson. Please, won¡¯t you take me home?¡± Chen Hao was looking at the old man up and down. It looked like he really wanted to go back, as if there was something urgent. When it came to this old man, Chen Hao didn¡¯t have an impression of him that was too bad; it was only the clingy attitude he had that seemed to throw him off a little. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll find someone to send you back!¡± ¡°From what you said, you seem to be heading to Chengdu with the girlie to look for someone. Let me tell you this, I can help you. I¡¯m very familiar with that ce, so I can lead you to look for the person you¡¯re looking for. Since you¡¯ve helped me so much, I will definitely repay you!¡± said the old man. When Chen Hao heard it, he finally thought he heard something decenting out from the old man¡¯s mouth. ¡°You damned old man, Young Master Chen doesn¡¯t need your help,e with us!¡± the guard shouted. ¡°Heh, if you don¡¯t believe it then ask him. If I previously didn¡¯t tell him where to find the girlie, do you think he would be able to locate her so quickly?¡± ¡°You!¡±ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Alright, alright, that¡¯s enough. For now just bring him down and arrange for a room in another hotel for him to stay, and then buy some food for him. Tomorrow, get someone to escort him back to Chengdu!¡± As for the help that was offered by the old man, Chen Hao could only smile bitterly but he didn¡¯t give any other indication that he would ept his offer. Then, Chen Hao returned to his room. The night passed by without any further incidents. In the morning of the next day, Chen Hao had received another phone call; it was from Wei Mengjiao, the granddaughter of Mr. Wei. Only then did Chen Hao recall that Wei Mengjiao wanted to invite him to a party that she was organizing. He was not actually close to Wei Mengjiao, so initially when he picked up her call, he wanted to find a reason to turn her down. ¡°Chen Hao, my grandfather knows that you will definitely attend my party. He said that I should host you properly!¡± Wei Mengjiao said excitedly. Chen Hao was feeling a little guilty since this matter was already known to Mr.Wei, and Wei Mengjiao was also sincerely looking forward to it. He didn¡¯t know how he could get out of this. That was why he agreed to be there. Momentster, he drove to the meeting ce. He wanted to just drop by and leave shortly after. ¡°Young Master Chen, we¡¯ve been waiting for you for a while now!¡± The chosen location was Jin Ling Brilliance Hotel. Wei Mengjiao was waiting for Chen Hao at the entrance. Right beside Wei Mengjiao was a mature and sexy-looking woman who seemed to be around thirty, with long flowing hair and a slender waist; she was a woman with extraordinary elegance... Chapter 313 Drunk Chapter 313 Drunk She was very fair. Chen Hao nodded at her with a smile. ¡°Chen Hao, this is my cousin. She¡¯s here to have fun with me. Isn¡¯t she pretty?¡± Wei Mengjiao said. Chen Hao nodded and agreed. ¡°Ha! But she is long since married. She used to be the prettiest girl in school. Even now, she still looks pretty!¡± Wei Mengjiao teased. ¡°You must be Young Master Chen from Jin Ling. Nice to meet you, Young Master Chen. I¡¯m Ouyang Ru. I¡¯m older than you guys, but you can just call me Ouyang Ru.¡± Ouyang Ru smiled. ¡°Young Master Chen, you know what? My cousin¡¯s family is quite well-known in the Southern Region. She¡¯s currently a lecturer in a college,¡± Wei Mengjiao said. ¡°Pleased to meet you, Ouyang Ru!¡± After they exchanged some brief greetings, Chen Hao followed them inside. A moment after Chen Hao left, a luxurious automobile that probably cost over ten million pulled over in front of the hotel. Then, a driver got off and opened the passenger seat door; a rich man in a suit with an expensive pocket watch hanging from it came out of the car. ¡°Young Master Long!¡± the driver called the man respectfully. The man was none other than Long Shaoyun. There was a malicious smile on his face. He nced at the hotel entrance before opening the car door at the back, still smiling ominously. ¡°Qin Ya, we¡¯re here. You cane out now.¡± The person sitting in the car was Qin Ya. She came out of the car in silence. She only put on a light makeup today. Yet she still looked stunning and elegant. Long Shaoyun was mesmerized by her beauty. He felt Qin Ya was different from other girls when he first met Qin Ya. Long Shaoyun had met many types of girls before, but he never met a girl with such elegance like Qin Ya. Long Shaoyun had shown his interest for Qin Ya repeatedly on the day they first met. Being the third son of the prominent Long Family in Yan Jing City, he thought he could basically get any girl he was interested in with just a simple nod, not to mention that he already took the initiative to show his interest for Qin Ya. But unfortunately, Qin Ya did not seem to be interested in him. Later on, Long Shaoyun found out that Qin Ya already had a love interest. So, he decided to pressure the Qin Family and forced Qin Ya out for a date with him on this day. ¡°Aw, Qin Ya, don¡¯t be sad! I may look like a yboy sometimes, but actually I¡¯m a nice guy. Unlike some people who may look nice on the outside, but on the inside, they are unpredictable. A straightforward and outspoken person like me can be hard toe by nowadays!¡± ¡°Thanks, but I think I can judge that by myself!¡± Qin Ya said coldly. ¡°Okay, fine. Come on, let¡¯s go in!¡± Long Shaoyun said with a smile. He tried to wrap his arm around Qin Ya¡¯s waist when thetter avoided his touch and red at him. ¡°Ohe on, I can¡¯t even touch you? You are now my fianc¨¦e, you know?¡± Long Shaoyun said. ¡°Who told you that I¡¯m your fianc¨¦e? I haven¡¯t even agreed to get engaged with you. Young Master Long, please behave yourself!¡± Qin Ya said firmly. To be honest, Qin Ya did not have any feelings for Long Shaoyun except pure hatred. Qin Ya¡¯s parents had told her that in order to save their family from their financial crisis, she had to give up something. Qin Ya had considered it too. She had tried topromise with the Long Family and pushed herself to ept Long Shaoyun eventually. But she failed in the end. She despised Long Shaoyun to the point that it was impossible for her to change her feelings. Qin Ya had been so worried these few days that she even had some extreme thoughts. It was her father who advised her to go on a date with Long Shaoyun this day. However, Qin Ya was unsure whether this was the step she should take. ¡°Okay. It doesn¡¯t matter anyway. About the engagement, is just a matter of time before it happens. Ha! Let¡¯s just stop talking about it and get in there, shall we?¡± Long Shaoyun then led Qin Ya into the hotel. Chen Hao was already inside the suite. Wei Mengjiao invited a lot of people on this day. Except her cousin, Ouyang Ru, most of the guests were young people of the same age as Wei Mengjiao. Some of them were residents of Jin Ling while some came from other ces. They were very polite to Chen Hao and treated him with respect; especially Wei Mengjiao, who kept serving Chen Hao dishes. She kept inviting Chen Hao to stay back and have fun, since another group of friends would being here too. Chen Hao had nned to leave shortly after he came. But Wei Mengjiao had asked the staff to serve the dishes when they arrived here. So, Chen Hao had no choice but to stay longer and had some drinks with them. These people were pretty good at drinking. After a few rounds of drinking and chatting, some of them were eventually drunk; one of them was Wei Mengjiao¡¯s cousin, Ouyang Ru. ¡°I can¡¯t drink anymore. I feel dizzy. You guys continue while I go for a nap in the car,¡± Ouyang Ru said. ¡°Eh? Cousin, you just drank a little. I thought you can hold your liquor pretty well! Besides, why do you need to take a nap in the car when there are plenty of rooms here in the hotel? I¡¯ll take you to a room for a rest! Oh yeah, I have a bottle of soda. Here you go, drink it! Maybe you¡¯ll feel better.¡± Wei Mengjiao opened the bottle and let Ouyang Ru take a sip from it. Ouyang Ru, who looked very ufortable, nodded her head. Wei Mengjiao already asked for a room from the staff. Ouyang Ru was truly a lightweight drinker; she could barely stand properly on her own. ¡°Meng Jiao, let me help you get Ouyang Ru upstairs!¡± A guy volunteered himself to help Wei Mengjiao immediately. Indeed, Wei Mengjiao was a beauty, but Ouyang Ru was even prettier with her unique elegance. Due to her older age, she had a unique charm which was different from those of younger girls; every man was attracted to her beauty. ¡°Step aside! You think I don¡¯t know what you guys are thinking? A bunch of worthless jerks! Let me tell you this. My cousin is from the famous Ouyang Family in the Southern Region. So, don¡¯t you ever dare think about taking advantage of her!¡± Wei Mengjiao warned fiercely. But Wei Mengjiao was unable to get Ouyang Ru to the hotel room upstairs all by herself either. So, she quickly asked Chen Hao to help her when she saw him. ¡°Young Master Chen, I trust you. Can you help me get my cousin upstairs?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Chen Hao nodded. Although Chen Hao thought that it was not appropriate for him to do so, he could not reject Wei Mengjiao since she already asked for his help; the main reason was that he did not have any indecent ideas in his mind. So, Chen Hao then helped Wei Mengjiao get Ouyang Ru into a room on the seventh floor. Ouyang Ru fell asleep straight away after lying down on the bed with her hand on her forehead. ¡°Just let my cousin have some rest! She¡¯s a lightweight drinker indeed. Young Master Chen, it seems you can hold your liquor pretty well!¡± Wei Mengjiao said. N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°I¡¯m so-so.¡± ¡°Ugh!¡± Suddenly, Ouyang Ru was retching violently. She looked really ufortable. ¡°Eh? Cousin, are you alright? I¡¯ll get you some alcohol detoxification medicine at once. Young Master Chen, you stay here and take care of my cousin for a moment. I¡¯ll be back soon!¡± Wei Mengjiao said before hurrying outside anxiously. As for Chen Hao, he did not know what to do either! At the same time, he noticed that Ouyang Ru had stopped retching and she had fallen asleep in her semi-consciousness. Chen Hao thought that it was not a good idea to stay alone in the room with Ouyang Ru. So, he took the key card and decided to wait for Wei Mengjiao outside the room. After waiting for a moment, Chen Hao heard Ouyang Ru¡¯s struggling voiceing from within the room. The voice sounded as if she was violently struggling for something. Chen Hao did not think too much about it at first; he thought Ouyang Ru was just drunk. But he started to realize that something was wrong inside, because there were other voices in the room too! Chapter 314 Misunderstanding Chapter 314 Misunderstanding The more Chen Hao pondered over it, the more he felt that something wasn¡¯t right. He immediately swiped the card and opened the room. Chen Hao¡¯s eyes widened at the scene before him. There was an unknown man in the room now. At that moment, he was trying to remove Ouyang Ru¡¯s clothing. Ouyang Ru was struggling hard to fight him off, tears streaked all over her face. However, when the man saw Chen Hao, he gave him a cold smirk. He then leaped off the bed, ran toward the window and jumped. This was the seventh floor! Chen Hao immediately rushed over to look. However, there was no one below. Where did he run to? Chen Hao went into a trance. His face flushed from embarrassment when he turned back and saw Ouyang Ru. Just when he wanted to cover her up with a nket, he heard footstepsing from the outside. ¡°Come on, stop pestering me! I have Chen Hao here to take care of my cousin sister. You bunch have seriously nothing better to do!¡± Wei Mengjiao¡¯s voice was heard right after. As well as those people who drank with them earlier. Obviously, they came out along with Wei Mengjiao to get the medicine for sobering up. Sh*t! What should I do now? Chen Hao was lost. With Ouyang Ru¡¯s condition right now, there might be a misunderstanding. Chen Hao wanted to dress Ouyang Ru up again when suddenly, Ouyang Ru gained consciousness and reopened her teary eyes. She started begging for help, shouting for him to stay away. What the f*ck! Knock knock knock! The sound of knocking on the door echoed in the room. ¡°Chen Hao, are you inside? Can you open the door?¡± Wei Mengjiao yelled. ¡°Huh? Cousin sister? Are you okay?!¡± It was obvious that Wei Mengjiao heard her cousin¡¯s begs for help from outside. She continued yelling, ¡°Chen Hao? Young Master Chen? Are you inside?¡± Chen Hao hurriedly replied, ¡°I¡¯m in here!¡± He opened the door. ¡°Young Master Chen, what took you so long? Don¡¯t tell me that yo- Oh my God!¡± Wei Mengjiao was about to tease him. However, she shrieked after she saw what was going on in the room. All of her ssmates flocked in. Some of them gasped in shock. Everyone then stared at Chen Hao in disbelief. They did not expect someone who looked as sophisticated as Chen Hao would do something so obscene. ¡°Young Master Chen! W-W-What did you do to my cousin sister?!¡± ¡°D-Don¡¯t misunderstand, please! It wasn¡¯t me!¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t you, did my cousin do this to herself then?¡± Wei Mengjiao doubted. ¡°There was someone else. A man was in this room! He jumped off from the window not long ago!¡± Right now, everything that Chen Hao said sounded like an excuse. ¡°This is the seventh floor though!¡± One of the guys rushed over to the windows, ¡°What the f*ck? No one could have survived a jump from this height! Even if he survived, he would have been paralysed!¡± Meanwhile, Wei Mengjiao covered up Ouyang Ru with a nket. ¡°Young Master Chen, I can¡¯t believe I trusted you! How could you do something as obscene as this? And my grandfather even praised you for your values, you¡¯re so disgusting!¡± Wei Mengjiao shrieked. ¡°Yeah! I can¡¯t believe that Young Master Chen is actually like this. At least the others are honest about it! You, on the other hand, disguised yourself too well!¡± One of the girls used, looking at him disdainfully. ¡°It really wasn¡¯t me! You guys have misunderstood! If you don¡¯t believe me, just look at the surveince camera. I was outside all along!¡± Chen Hao protested. Right away, someone informed the manager toe up. ¡°I want you to retrieve the surveince camera for this floor right this instant!¡± Chen Hao demanded. ¡°Huh, this floor¡¯s surveince? I¡¯m so sorry, Young Master Chen. Something went wrong with our surveince cameras yesterday. We are still in the midst of solving this issue!¡± the manager answered. ¡°How do you know me?¡± Chen Hao looked at the manager. The manager smiled obsequiously and said, ¡°Hehe, Young Master Chen, I¡¯ve seen you during a chamber ofmerce. Your sister, CEO Chen, has always treated me well. So, of course I know you!¡± ¡°Hmph! Chen Hao, stop acting anymore! Everyone in Jin Ling City knows that anyone in the industry has to show you respect! All of you were in this together! If it weren¡¯t so, why did the surveince camera spoil today, of all days?!¡± Wei Meng Jiao condemned. Her voice rang loud. To the extent it attracted all the customers from other hotel rooms. The whole floor was crowded in no time. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± someone gossiped. ¡°It seemed like some young master tried to bring a drunk girl into one of the room to rape her. However, the girl¡¯s cousin caught him red-handed. What the hell! He¡¯s a monster!¡± ¡°Oh my God, I thought scenarios like this would only appear in movies. I can¡¯t believe this actually happens in real life! That¡¯s so disgusting!¡± People started gossiping among themselves. Some of the nosy ones even contacted the news hotline. Hui Huang Hotel & Restaurant¡ªa ce for all sorts of entertainments. Right now, inside one of the extravagant restaurants. Long Shayun was having a meal with Qin Ya. She only took a few bites of her food. ¡°Hehe, have you guys heard? Something happened in the guest room on the seventh floor!¡± At this moment, a new batch of customers sat next to Long Shaoyun¡¯s table and started discussing. They also talked about what happened upstairs. ¡°There are still vile people like this!¡± Long Shaoyun was sipping on his wine, smiling a little after he heard them. On the other hand, Qin Ya frowned. ¡°What happened after? Are they still fighting? Who''s the young master? What a good-for-nothing!¡± ¡°What the hell! Speaking of the rich guy, it looked like he had a powerful background. Some even said that it''s Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen!¡± the person eximed. ¡°What? Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen? That¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°Of course it''s impossible! He wouldn¡¯t do something like that!¡± Qin Ya snarled at the customers sitting next to them. ¡°Hey, why are you so offended? We are just chatting anyway. Why don¡¯t you go upstairs and take a look for yourself?¡± one of the men suggested. ¡°What does Young Master Chen look like? Is he hot? Hey, I heard he''s extremely low-key. I¡¯ve never even seen him before!¡± N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Well, he looks good. But that doesn''t matter. I heard people yelling that his name is Chen Hao or something. So I¡¯m sure that it¡¯s Young Master Chen!¡± the man said. Qin Ya tensed up when she overheard them. ¡°What did you say his name was?¡± She stood up immediately. ¡°C-C-Chen Hao!¡± The people that sat beside her were taken aback. ¡°Impossible! How can that be?¡± Qin Ya eximed in disbelief. Right after, Qin Ya saw people heading toward the seventh floor to take a look. Hence, she followed suit. Meanwhile, Long Shaoyun smiled wryly and sipped on his wine. He took out his phone and dialed for someone. ¡°You can go up now!¡± Then, he left his seat and headed up too. ¡°Make way! We are reporters!¡± Right now, the seventh floor was bustling with noises. Even reporters from the Jin Ling Times showed up. It wasn¡¯t surprising if what happened today made it into the headlines tomorrow. Chen Hao was blocked from leaving, everything he said was rendered as an excuse. From afar, Qin Ya watched everything unfolding in front of her. However, when she spotted Chen Hao, she staggered backward in disbelief. ¡°No, no, no. Chen Hao is not like this!¡± Qin Ya mumbled to herself. ¡°What are you even on about? He was caught trying to rape the girl while she was drunk. The girl even used him of it herself!¡± One of the hotel guests retorted when he heard Qin Ya muttering. ¡°Mengjiao, why are you here? What is happening?¡± Long Shaoyun asked when he spotted Wei Mengjiao. He navigated toward her with a few bodyguards. ¡°Huh? Shaoyun! I¡¯m so d that you¡¯re here! I¡¯m okay but something happened to my cousin sister!¡± Chapter 315 Difficulty in Finding a Firm Footing Chapter 315 Difficulty in Finding a Firm Footing ¡°What? It''s Sister Ouyang?¡± Long Shaoyun was stunned. ¡°Yes!¡± Wei Mengjiao then told him about the entire situation from the start till the end. On the other hand, Ou Yangru had also sobered up and was staring resentfully at Chen Hao. Although she was in a daze, she knew that it was Chen Hao and her cousin who helped her in. But after that, someone came up to her and tore at her clothes. Who else could it be if it was not Chen Hao? Ou Yangru started tearing up. ¡°Wow, that¡¯s too much you little sh*t! The Long family are friends with the Ouyang family of the Southern Region. You dare to have dirty thoughts about our Sister Ouyang? You must be looking for trouble! With the Long family in Yan Jing, no matter how powerful you are, I will make you pay for this!¡± Long Shaoyun snapped. ¡°What? Long family from Yan Jing? Damn! I had no idea this incident had so manyplications. Even the Ouyang family and Long family are involved. This person must be Young Master Long from Yan Jing then!¡± ¡°That must be him. Even though Young Master Chen of Jin Ling is powerful, can he deal with the revenge of Young Master Long and the Ouyang family? Seriously¡­¡± A lot of discussions were going on. Wei Mengjiao said, ¡°Yup, Brother Shaoyun. You have to seek justice for my cousin. You have no idea that she was almost put to shame by this beast!¡± ¡°Don''t worry, I will make sure to take care of this!¡± Long Shaoyun grinned maliciously. Then, he lifted his leg up and kicked at Chen Hao. ¡°F*ck! Beat him up savagely, I don''t care what kind of young master he is. Since he dared to humiliate people from the Ouyang family, beat him to death!¡± Long Shaoyun shouted. A few bodyguards rushed forward and were about to beat up Chen Hao. The group of young guys and girls around were also no longer afraid of Chen Hao now that Young Master Long was backing them up. ¡°Stop!¡± Just then, Qin Ya shouted. She then walked forward with tears in her eyes. ¡°Qin Ya, why are you here?¡± Chen Hao was stunned to see Qin Ya here. Qin Ya, on the other hand, looked disappointingly at Chen Hao. She then turned toward Long Shaoyun and said, ¡°Young Master Long, can you let him go? I beg of you!¡± ¡°Let him go? Haha, Qin Ya, it''s not that I don''t want to help you but this person is too evil. If I don''t punish and teach him a lesson, I would not be able to go back and face my uncles from the Ouyang family. Stay out of this!¡± Long Shaoyun coldly said. ¡°Please, let him go!¡± Qin Ya begged. Indeed, Qin Ya definitely did not expect this to happen. Even at this moment, she was in despair. Imagine having discovered that the person you loved all this while turned out to be someone with such dirty and disgusting behaviour. Of course, one would not be able to take such a hit. However, Qin Ya found it even more uneptable to look on at other people beating Chen Hao up in front of her. Upon seeing Qin Ya about to burst into tears, Long Shaoyun grinned. ¡°Fine, since you are pleading with me to give him a chance, I can choose not to punish him. However, N?velDrama.Org content. since he got himself into this trouble, I don''t mind if other people were to punish him!¡± Long Shaoyun then waved his hand toward his henchmen. His group of henchmen then returned back to his side. ¡°Qin Ya, I did not do this. You have to believe me!¡± Chen Hao had finally realized that something was up. How could it be so coincidental that there was someone in the room? Furthermore, this Long Shaoyu arrived at such a precise moment. Chen Hao felt that everything was all part of a scheme and was targeting him. However, there was no way to exin and clear his name at that moment. ¡°I don''t want to listen to your exnation!¡± Qin Ya red at Chen Hao. Then, she barged through the crowd and headed downstairs. ¡°Qin Ya!¡± Long Shaoyun nced at a man standing in the corner and brought his bodyguards to chase after Qin Ya. The man who was dressed in ck clothes had long hair and a pale look on his face. Wei Mengjiao shouted, ¡°Chen Hao, you can''t leave. You have to give my cousin an exnation for your actions today!¡± A group of people then blocked Chen Hao¡¯s way. Just as Chen Hao was feeling helpless, he felt an ice-cold aura radiating from behind. He turned and saw the man with hair as long as a woman standing next to him now. Chen Hao felt an immense threat from the man. Just then, an old and hoarse voice could be heard. ¡°Move out of the way, what are you all doing!¡± ¡°F*ck! Where did this old mane from? Why is he barging in here?¡± The bystanders scolded. The old man snorted and said, ¡°What! I am here to look for my grandson.¡± He then squeezed himself into the crowd. Most people moved aside once they saw how poorly he was dressed. The long-haired man nced coldly at the old man and withdrew his hand. ¡°What are you all doing? Let go of my grandson!¡± The old man walked forward and pushed Wei Mengjiao aside. Chen Hao looked up and saw that this old man was none other than the old beggar that was pestering him yesterday night. ¡°What? He''s your grandson?¡± Wei Mengjiao was in shock. The old man snorted and said, ¡°Is there anything wrong? Grandson, I came looking for you today and the group of people said that you left. I thought you had left me behind and went to Chengdu on your own! Move, move, let¡¯s go!¡± The old man did not ask what was going on and just pulled Chen Hao away by his arm. ¡°You can''t leave!¡± Just then, the long haired man gave a cold stare and proceeded to grab at Chen Hao¡¯s shoulder. The old man moved his arm up to block and with a sweeping motion, the long haired man flew back toward the wall! In an instant, the long-haired man was sweating all over his face as he stared at the old man in shock. Under such circumstances, Chen Hao could only escape with the help of the old man. Without another word, Chen Hao left with him. ¡°Hehe, my grandson. Are you okay?¡± The old man smiled and asked as he brought Chen Hao all the way to a park next to a stream. ¡°I am fine. Thank you, M-Mister!¡± If it weren''t for the old man, he might still be there trying to clear his name to the rest of the group. By the looks of it, there was no way he was going to get out of there! Therefore, Chen Hao thanked the old man sincerely. At the same time, he was also confused. Why was it that everytime I am in trouble, this old man appears out of nowhere and indirectly lends me a hand? For instance, in today''s scenario, how did the old man know where to find me? Chen Hao then asked, ¡°Oh right, Mister. How did you find me? It can''t be that you were stalking me all this while right?¡± The old man felt embarrassed and said, ¡°Yes, I did stalk you today. Sigh, little guy, you helped me the previous time so I knew that I had to help you no matter what trouble you faced the next time!¡± The old man smiled and said, ¡°Thus, it was a good trade for you to have treated me to a meal and shower yesterday!¡± ¡°How did you know that I was going to be in trouble?¡± Chen Hao felt that this old man was getting more and more mysterious. The old man snorted and said, ¡°I overheard people discussing setting you up when I was sleeping in the garagest night. Hence, I came to look for you and as expected, you fell into their trap!¡± He then narrated the story to Chen Hao. It turned out that while the old man was looking for a ce to crash in the underground garage, he overheard Long Shaoyun making a phone call to discuss the cooperation with Wei Mengjiao to set Chen Hao up today. As expected, nothing does fall randomly from the sky. There was a reason why Wei Mengjiao tried so hard to invite me over to her so-called gathering today. It was all a scheme nned out with Long Shaoyun. Every step of the way was carefully organized by them. Chen Hao only just realized this because he had thought that there was no such coincidence in this world. However, he still could not understand the reason behind Wei Mengjiao setting him up. There had not been any grudges or ill feelings between them. The old man shook his head at Chen Hao and snorted. ¡°Silly boy, although you are much richer than them, you are also too kind. Why do they need a reason in order to set you up?¡± ¡°Furthermore, this incident is much more severe than you can imagine. If I had not dragged you out of there, I am sure your limbs would have been broken by now. After all, they had a reason to do so! The long-haired man behind you had wanted toy his hands on you multiple times!¡± The old man recounted what he saw to Chen Hao. Chen Hao started to feel a little afraid upon hearing what the old man said. The problems that he used to face often revolved around profits and interest only. He never wanted to be too calctive with others, which was why he was never ruthless when resolving matters. However, Chen Hao finally understood the meaning behind his sister''s words when she used to tell him that if he was not ruthless enough, he would never be able to gain a firm footing. It did not matter if you were rich or wealthy, as long as youcked the aura and ferociousness, people could still easily bring you down! Chen Hao took a deep breath as his gaze became colder... Chapter 316 Strike Back Chapter 316 Strike Back On the other side. ¡°Young Master Long, I have failed!¡± Long Shaoyu, who was in the restroom, shockingly yelled into the phone, ¡°What? Poisonous Scorpion, how could you slip up and fail to deal with Chen Hao?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that, there was a very capable person helping him out then. If it hadn¡¯t withdrew my strength in time, my arm would have been incapacitated!¡± Inside the car, Poisonous Scorpion held onto the phone with one arm and the other resting on the seat. At that moment, bulging blood red veins could be seen on his resting arm. It looked like there were several earthworms crawling all over his entire arm. He could not even move it. Poisonous Scorpion was also sweating profusely all over his forehead. ¡°F*ck! This dude got lucky this time! Never mind! No matter what, he has been set up and it¡¯s a good start. Once the headlines appear in tomorrow''s newspaper, his reputation will go down the drain. The Ouyang family would also never let him off the hook. Both our families working together can easily bring him down and mess him up!¡± ¡°As for you, go back and have a good rest!¡± Then, Long Shaoyun hung up the phone. Just as he hung up, Wei Mengjiao called. ¡°Shaoyun, did we over do it just now? You told me that I was only supposed to bring him into the room and you wouldn¡¯t let my cousin get taken advantage of! Why was things different today?¡± Wei Mengjiao said in a hurry. Long Shaoyun replied, ¡°I didn''t let Ou Yangru get taken advantage of nor was she humiliated. Furthermore, we managed to attain the effect that we wanted, so wasn''t that a good thing?¡± Wei Mengjiao snorted and said, ¡°You call this ¡®not being humiliated¡¯? My cousin ended up in such bad shape! No matter what, she is someone from the Ouyang family. This incident has to be deemed true to both our families, otherwise we would be in deep trouble!¡± ¡°Sigh, I truly regret helping you out. You have no idea how difficult it was to put on a fake front. I had to apany him with a smile and be exceptionally courteous fromst night till now as I was afraid he would turn down my offer. Otherwise, I would have toe up with another idea in order to set him up!¡± ¡°Not only that, because of you, I offended a rich heir from Jin Ling City. The total worth of him and his sister wouldn''t be worse off than the Long Family! Thus, because of you, I missed out on the opportunity to make friends with him!¡± ¡°Haha, what is there to be regretful about? As long as you have the support of my Long Family from Yan Jing, it would be equivalent to having a capable background. You could do anything in China as our forces will be all over the ce. Chen Hao¡¯s power only stays within Jin Ling City! Anyway, I promise you that as long as you could help me court Qin Ya, I will make sure to fulfill any wish of yours!¡± Long Shaoyun bitterly smiled. Only then did he manage to coax Wei Mengjiao. By then, Chen Hao had already returned to his hotel. Unlike how it used to be, the hotel was sealed off and confined. Li Zhenguo, Zhao Zixing, Tian Long and Di Hu had all arrived. Earlier, Li Zhenguo and the rest had heard some news about what happened today and they were extremely concerned. Originally, everyone thought that the Long Family would be inhibited and dared noty a hand directly on Young Master Chen. However, it looked like everyone¡¯s deduction was off the mark. ¡°Young Master Chen, I managed to capture the president of the news agency. F*ck! He was nning and arranging the headlines for tomorrow¡¯s news!¡± At that moment, Tian Long and Di Hu walked into the room. Chen Hao, who was seated at the boss¡¯s chair, coldly said, ¡°Bring him in!¡± There was no other option but to face off with Long Shaoyun. After all, he did spend a lot of time and effort in order to set me up. As for this nderous news, it must not be published the next day. ¡°What are you all doing? What are you all doing? Let me go!¡± Soon after, a middle-aged man was dragged inside by a couple of bodyguards. The middle-aged man was the president that was bribed by Long Shaoyun. His surname was Liu. Chen Hao asked, ¡°Hello, President Liu. I believe you understand why you were called upon. Where are the videos and pictures taken by your team today?¡± President Liu coldly said, ¡°Young Master Chen, I have no idea what you''re talking about. Furthermore, there was nothing wrong with my team capturing pictures and videos. It is fair and just as well as within the rights of thew! Thus, no matter what, I will not handover the pictures and videos captured by my team!¡± ¡°Fair and just? Haha, from what I know, your men had been waiting in the car downstairs two hours prior to the incident. Could it be that you all had superpowers to look into the future? And that you all could predict what could happen in two hours?¡± Chen Hao said, ¡°Although the surveince cameras in the hotel were destroyed, there were some from other areas that were still intact! President Liu, I believe you understand the situation more than I do.¡± Indeed, this was the first time in his life that Chen Hao was tricked by others. His sister used to tell him that doing business was a test for him to gain experience. Back then, Chen Hao did not think much about it but eventually he understood and learnt his lesson. Just as Chen Hao finished speaking, President Liu remained silent and casually looked away to a corner. In his eyes, no matter how powerful Chen Hao was, it was just him and his sister. However, the Long Family in Yang Jing was different as it involved the entire n. He would rather offend Young Master Chen then Young Master Long of the Long Family. Chen Hao said, ¡°Since you chose to remain silent, I shall deduce that you are messing around with me. If that''s the case, there is no need for me to be kind toward you anymore! Someone, get in here!¡± President Liu snorted and said, ¡°I know what you are up to. However, let me tell you this. I have already informed my staff that if I did not return in an hour, they would expose everything right away and inform the police as well!¡± ¡°Is that so? Well, you thought too much. I merely invited you over to question you and not toy my hands on you. You may leave now¡­¡± Chen Hao casually smiled. President Liu was then allowed to leave. Just as he was about to leave in confusion, he saw Chen Hao taking out his phone and started a video call with someone. ¡°Daddy! Daddy! Save me! Save me!¡± Just as the video call connected, a sound of a little girl crying for help could be heard. President Liu who heard this voice ran back from the entrance. In a panic, President Liu said, ¡°What are you doing? Thats the voice of my daughter!¡± Li Zhenguo said, ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry, President Liu. Your daughter is back in your hometown. It is just a coincidence that the Film Department of our Group is filming a promotional and educational video about safety over there. Your daughter was very beautiful, so naturally, we invited her to be part of the film! The role she is ying right now is a girl who is being kidnapped. The kidnapper wants his father to give in otherwise they would kill her!¡± Li Zhenguo took over the phone from Chen Hao¡¯s hand and showed it to President Liu. President Liu took a look and it was a group of people filming in the vige. However, President Liu could not help but gulp. N?velDrama.Org content. He was clear on what they meant by that. There was no need for further details. Moreover, the fact was that Young Master Long did arrange to set Young Master Chen up. Hence, President Liu had no right to argue about it. He could only remain speechless as Chen Hao took his revenge. The fact that his daughter was safe and even having fun with the staff showed that Young Master Chen was already being very kind. With a pale look on his face, President Liu said, ¡°Young Master Chen, there must be a huge mistake here. I definitely did not believe when people said that you raped the girl. I truly feel that there must be a huge misunderstanding, a very huge misunderstanding!¡± Chen Hao said, ¡°President Liu, it''s not your fault. After all, we are not like Long Shaoyun. We do not partake in threatening people. So tell me, what is your n for this? If you wish to mess around with me, I would definitely not sit still!¡± President Liu was covered in cold sweat and said, ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I will tell the truth. Long Shaoyun arranged for us to photoshop and edit the pictures taken so that he could frame you as well as set you up as the enemy of the Ouyang family! I know that Young Master Chen would not engage in such dirty and disgusting acts!¡± Seeing that President Liu said that, Chen Hao turned toward Li Zhenguo and nodded. He then showed President Liu another video that they took. Upon seeing that video, President Liu¡¯s eyes popped out and he was in huge disbelief. He became so shocked that his face turned pale¡­ Chapter 317 Sever All Ties Chapter 317 Sever All Ties ¡°This group of people¡­ Are they Young Master Long¡¯s people?¡± On the other side of the video call, it seemed to be inside of a house within the vige. There were four to five men in ck suits tied up in the house. Those men had bruises and swelling all over their faces, and they were watched over by Chen Hao¡¯s men. President Liu clearly identified them as Long Shaoyun¡¯s men. Li Zhenguo smiled and said, ¡°President Liu, Long Shaoyun is a malicious and ruthless person. He was afraid of you messing up his n, thus, he sent these men over this afternoon to abduct your daughter. Haha, luckily we got there first!¡± Only then did President Liue to a realization. ¡°Damn you, Long Shaoyu. I almost got yed like a fiddle! Young Master Chen, I am so sorry!¡± President Liu bowed and apologized repeatedly. No matter what, Young Master Chen had saved his daughter by chance. Furthermore, he clearly knew the character of Long Shaoyun. He was someone that would do anything to get what he wants. If his daughter had ended up in his hands and refused to cooperate with his orders, things would definitely go south. Therefore, in addition to being terrified and regretful, he also felt guilty and appreciative toward Young Master Chen. And so, he lowered his voice and mysteriously whispered, ¡°Young Master Chen, I have a recording right here with me. I believe you all will be quite interested!¡± Chen Hao and Li Zhenguo exchanged looks and nodded. President Liu then took out the recording... Chen Hao did not have to worry about the fake news blowing up anymore. President Liu would understand what needs to be done. As for Long Shaoyun, Chen Hao certainly had to deal with him. Just then, Chen Hao received a call on his phone. He took a look and saw that it was from Zhao Tongtong. Zhao Tongtong was close friends with Qin Ya. On a side note, he had also not seen Zhao Tongtong for quite some time. He guessed that this phone call must be about the matter today between him and Qin Ya. Qin Ya must have misunderstood me. Once he picked up the phone, Zhao Tongtong¡¯s voice could be heard. ¡°Chen Hao, what do you mean by this! What did you do to Qin Ya? She was crying non stop when she got back. Today was supposed to be a cheerful day as Qin Ya managed to attain the position of top achiever for this semester. She even got the slot for the excellent student rmendation award. We were just going to arrange a celebration party for her and this happened!¡± Chen Hao casually said, ¡°There was some misunderstanding between us and I didn''t have time to exin!¡± All along, Chen Hao had sort of cared about how Qin Ya felt as she was his friend. Therefore, he wanted to exin things clearly to her. After all, it was not difficult to provide an exnation now. However, when Chen Hao saw Qin Ya dining together with his nemesis, he felt an unexinable anger grew within him. Indeed, I see Qin Ya as my friend. However, from today onward, Qin Ya was going to see a lot more of Long Shaoyun. Not only that, it was clear that Qin Ya was already together with Long Shaoyun. The both of them were a couple. What more was there for me to exin! ¡°What misunderstanding? I asked her, yet she wouldn''t tell me. Look at you stuttering like that. If there is a misunderstanding then clear it up. We are all at Qin Ya¡¯s house right now!¡± Zhao Tongtong knew about Chen Hao¡¯s rtionship with Su Tongxin as well as the ambiguous rtionship between him and Qin Ya. Despite that, the one that made Qin Ya so upset was still Chen Hao. Thus, as her close friend, Zhao Tongtong could not bear to see this anymore. Otherwise, she would not have secretly called Chen Hao and informed him about this. Chen Hao casually said, ¡°It''s okay, I don''t think I will head over!¡± What''s the point of being entangled with her anymore? First, because of Yang Xia, I ended up facing off against people from the Long Family. Now, there is this problem with Qin Ya. Chen Hao felt extremely ufortable especially for Qin Ya¡¯s case as he was stuck in between. Zhao Tongtong quickly said, ¡°What do you mean you''re noting? I understand you have Su Tongxin as your girlfriend now, but please at leaste over and talk things out with Qin Ya even if you no longer want to be friends with her! At the end of the day, everything stems from the misunderstanding. If you had not identally given her the jade bracelet, then Qin Ya would not be interested in you and eventually fall in love with you. I understand that you are Young Master Chen and you are very capable, but do you think it''s appropriate to y with someone''s feelings? Chen Hao replied, ¡°I did not y with her feelings!¡± However, that speech by Zhao Tongtong did take the words out of Chen Hao¡¯s mouth. That''s right. Everything with Qin Ya had all started because of a misunderstanding. Ipletely did not mean to do that. Sigh! Fine, I should head over. At least I should inform her of the actual personality of Long Shaoyun! Chen Hao said, ¡°Alright, I will head over now!¡± By then, it was six in the evening. This time around, Chen Hao did not head over alone. Instead, Tian Long and Di Hu apanied him. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. When Chen Hao arrived at the doorstep of Qin Ya¡¯s house, Tian Long and Di Hu waited outside while he walked in. Zhao Tongtong said, ¡°Alright Qin Ya, stop being so sad. Although I had no idea what happened between you and Chen Hao, no matter what, today is the day you sessfully got rmended. You should be happy about that right?¡± ¡°Furthermore, who knows, Chen Hao might realize the qualities you have ande back for you!¡± ¡°Haha, you all don''t have to advise me anymore. The matter between us is nothing but¡­ Forget it, I don''t feel like talking about it. Every time I think of him, I feel disgusted!¡± Qin Ya took a deep breath. She felt extremely terrified toward guys now. Despite how innocent a guy looked, deep down he would still be an as*hole. It was the same for the guy she loved. If she hadn''t seen it with her own eyes, there was no way Qin Ya would believe that. ¡°Alright, let''s not talk about that. However, Qin Ya, today is a joyful day as I still have a surprise for you Zhao Tongtong winked and took a sip of red wine. Ding dong! Just as everyone was curious about Zhao Tongtong¡¯s surprise, the ringing sound of the doorbell could be heard. ¡°It''s here, my surprise is here!¡± Zhao Tongtong excitedly ran over and opened the door. Qin Ya had also decided to stop expressing her negative emotions to the others and put a smile on her face as she turned her head toward the entrance. However, her smile gradually faded as she saw the person who walked in. And it was none other than Chen Hao. Zhao Tongtong said, ¡°Haha, Qin Ya, whoever started the trouble should end it. Thus, I asked Chen Hao toe over so you all can talk things out and clear up all the misunderstandings!¡± ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Qin Ya said with an ice-cold stare. Chen Hao said, ¡°I am here to provide you with an exnation of what happened today. You have misunderstood me!¡± Qin Ya coldly snapped, ¡°I don''t wish to hear anything and you don''t have to exin to me. Young Master Chen, if there is nothing else, please leave! I don''t wish to see a disgusting person in front of me as it ruins my mood!¡± Chen Hao took a deep breath and said, ¡°I just want to clear up a few things¡­¡± ¡°There is no need for that, Young Master Chen. Why do you have to exin to me? If you have the time, it''s better you exin to Ouyang Ru instead!¡± ¡°Not only that, it is inconvenient for you to stay around herete at night whereby we are all girls here. Furthermore, I don''t wish for Shaoyun to know that there are still ties between us!¡± Qin Ya coldly said, ¡°Therefore, if that is all you came to talk about and there is nothing else, you may leave now!¡± Upon hearing what she said, Chen Hao finally came to a realization. What a joke. Why did I bothering over to exin? It makes no sense and is only a waste of time. She has already addressed Long Shaoyun as Shaoyun already. Perhaps she has found someone she truly loves. ¡°Alright, then I shall not bother you anymore!¡± After that, Chen Hao gave a bitter smile as he turned around and left. ¡°Wait a minute!¡± Right then, Qin Ya shouted at Chen Hao. ¡°I have something that I want to return to you¡­¡± Chapter 318 The Crisis in the Night Chapter 318 The Crisis in the Night The thing that Qin Ya mentioned was naturally the jade bracelet that Chen Hao gave to her as a gift earlier. ¡°From now on, we are through with each other. I held on to this bracelet because I originally thought that since we could never be together, I wanted to keep it as a token of remembrance. However now, there is no need for that anymore. So, I will give it back to you.¡± Qin Ya put on a stone-cold face and gave the jade bracelet back to Chen Hao. ¡°I think it¡¯s for the best.¡± ¡°Chen Hao, one more thing. I hope that you can delete my contact number as you have Su Tongxin now while I have Shaoyun. After you have deleted it, then we will be consideredplete strangers.¡± ¡°Ok then.¡± Chen Hao did not say anything anymore. He took the jade bracelet from her. Then, after acknowledging Zhao Tongtong and the rest of them, he left the Qin household. ¡°Why Qin Ya? Why did you let Chen Hao leave just like that? What happened between you two?¡± Zhao Tongtong asked her quizzically. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Please don¡¯t ask me anymore. By the way, this afternoon Shaoyun gave me an expensive gift. Let me show it to you all.¡± With that, Qin Ya wiped away the tears that formed at the corners of her eyes and tried her best to give her friends a happy smile. ¡°Wait for me. I will go and get it.¡± When they saw her forced smile, Zhao Tongtong and the rest of her friends could not continue their meals any further. ¡°Qin Ya, please don¡¯t act like this. Since you don¡¯t want to talk about it, we will not ask you any further. However, please don¡¯t torture yourself. We know that you love Chen Hao, not Long Shaoyun. Why do you have to deceive yourself?¡± asked Zhao Tongtong. ¡°Pfft! No I am not. You guys really think too much. I only understand now that I don¡¯t love Chen Hao, instead I think what I have for him is just sympathy. It might be due to the fact that he was poor in the past. Hence, I felt that he was a pitiful guy. However, I realize now that the person I love is definitely not him.¡± ¡°Besides, I am really happy, and I feel very rxed now. Do you all know that from now on, I don¡¯t have to feel the pain of worrying and yearning for another person anymore. Moreover, I get to be with Young Master Long and be the Young Lady of the Long family. Haha! To be honest, are you guys jealous of me?¡± asked Qin Ya with a smile. Zhao Tongtong and her friends looked at each other, and they remained silent. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. As for Chen Hao, he finally cut ties with Qin Ya. To be honest, he did not know how to feel about it. He was neither happy nor sad. In short, his feelings were in a turmoil. After he brought Tian Long and Di Hu back to the hotel, he received a call from Li Zhenguo. Li Zhenguo wanted to talk to him about the search for the person who was hiding in the guesthouse today. As they suspected, the person was quite capable, and he was an expert in rock climbing. Moreover, he was a cunning person. Li Zhenguo had mobilized a huge amount of resources, yet they still couldn¡¯t find him. President Liu had already cleared up the misunderstanding that was a result of Chen Hao being framed this time, and the matter had almost been resolved, yet Chen Hao was still determined to find that person. Chen Hao advised Li Zhenguo not to be too impatient when he saw Li Zhenguo ming himself for not being able to find that person. Chen Hao turned in early that night. Although the night seemed serene, a storm was brewing in the distance. At this moment, a person was seen sitting by the river bank. ¡°Young Master Long, I havepleted my mission. However, the money that you promised me is not here yet,¡± said a crafty-looking person. ¡°Hmph, why are you being so impatient? Didn¡¯t I ask you to find a ce and hide? Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely give you the money.¡± A cold voice rang out through the phone. ¡°The thing is, I am worried, Young Master Long. This time, because of you, not only did I offend the Ouyang family, I have also offended Young Master Chen as well. Today, Young Master Chen¡¯s men nearly turned the entire Jin Ling inside out to find me. What if Miss Ouyang Ru wants to investigate this case in the future, then I am doomed.¡± That person continued by saying, ¡°I have already put myself on the line for you this time. So, you have to give me the money quickly. I need to leave this ce before I get into trouble. Otherwise, the Ouyang family will soon know who came up with the idea to trouble Ouyang Ru in the first ce. Hehe, it will be quite a lively scene then since the Long family has a lot of business dealings with the Ouyang family.¡± ¡°Damn it! Hou San, how dare you threaten me?¡± Long Shaoyun snorted coldly. Indeed, in order to find a capable helper this time to smear Chen Hao¡¯s name, he thought of using Ouyang Ru. After all, the Ouyang family had the same power and influence as the Long family. As a result, if Chen Hao met his downfall, then not only would he be able to bring back a beautiful young He would then be able to help his family exact their revenge on Chen Xiao, who had kicked his family out of the Jin Ling marketce in the past. With that, he could pave the way for his future session of the Long family. Obviously, Hou San, who was a meticulous person, knew very well about the grudges between the Long family and Chen Xiao. Of course, the fact that Long Shaoyun could amass such a huge number of helpers in Jin Ling within a short period of time was definitely due to the involvement of the Long family in Jin Ling in the past. ¡°I don¡¯t mean to threaten you. However, I don¡¯t have a choice because if you don¡¯t give me the money soon, I will not be able to survive any longer! Besides, Young Master Chen¡¯s sister isn¡¯t back yet. Snigger. If his sisteres back, and finds out that you and I had an alliance to smear her brother¡¯s name, then you don¡¯t need me to remind you how she managed to destroy the Long family in Jin Ling in the past, right?¡± said Hou San. ¡°Fine, where are you? I have already ordered my men to send you the money. After you get the money, I want you to shut your mouth and leave this ce as soon as possible,¡± said Long Shaoyun coldly. At that moment, Hou San told him the location. Not long after that, two Maybachs stopped by the riverbank. An elderly gentleman got down from the car, along with several other bodyguards dressed in ck suits. The elderly gentleman was carrying a box in his hands. They walked toward Hou San and stood in front of him. ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s right. If you need to frame or falsely use a person, I am definitely the right man for the job. I assure you that they won¡¯t have any evidence on me. Haha, let me count the money first.¡± Hou San took the money with a smile. ¡°Of course, we made the right decision to find you. After all, you are a very capable person. It¡¯s just that you are such a bbermouth. The Ouyang family was involved in this incident as my Young Master wanted to exact his revenge on both the Chen family siblings. Hence, my Young Master is very worried that you cannot control that mouth of yours,¡± said the elderly gentleman who had the air of a butler indifferently. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my lips are sealed,¡± said Hou San with a smile. On the other hand, the butler winked at the subordinates beside him, especially at Long Hair and Poisonous Scorpion. In an instant, they acted and pounced on Hou San. ¡°What the f*ck! How dare you kill me to destroy the evidence?! F*ck you!¡± ¡°Haha, we are sorry, Hou San. We can only sacrifice you in order for the Ouyang family and the Long family to work together to defeat the siblings of the Chen family. Moreover, you shouldn¡¯t have threatened Young Master Long! Do it!¡± With that, Poisonous Scorpion, who had some bandages wound around one of his hands, gripped Hou San¡¯s neck tightly, thereby choking him. ¡°Damn you!¡± Hou San lifted his legs and kicked away Poisonous Scorpion¡¯s hands. Following that, he struggled violently against his captors and slipped away by jumping into the river. ¡°Damn it, why are you guys so careless?! This guy is like a slippery loach. If we can¡¯t capture him now, we won¡¯t have the opportunity to anymore in the future,¡± scolded the butler. On the other hand, Hou San stayed in the water for quite some time before he came ashore. At that moment, he cursed viciously, ¡°Damn it! Long Shaoyun is definitely an evil person. I nearly met my death upon his hands. However, since I did not get a penny out of this, I don¡¯t need to think about it anymore. Since you dare to harm me, I am going to harm your woman as well!¡± Chapter 319 Qin Ya Was Kidnapped Chapter 319 Qin Ya Was Kidnapped At this moment, several girls were having a karaoke and beer-drinking session in Qin Ya¡¯s family vi. They were hanging out together happily. Everybody tried their best to make Qin Ya forget about her unhappiness with Chen Hao today. As for Qin Ya¡¯s parents, they had already headed out to Yan Jing earlier today. Hence, Zhao Tongtong and the rest of her friends would not leave tonight as they wanted to apany Qin Ya. ¡°Tongtong, I¡¯m going to the washroom. Can you apany me?¡± asked Qin Ya. ¡°Ok!¡± Then, both of them went to the washroom upstairs. However, not long after that¡­ ¡°Ah!¡± Suddenly, a piercing scream was heard upstairs, and that made everybody jump in fright. Hence, they quickly made their way upstairs. When they reached the washroom, there was no sign of Zhao Tongtong or Qin Ya anymore. Following that, they noticed that the windows of the washroom were open. They peered downstairs through the windows, but there wasn¡¯t a trace of them anywhere. ¡°Tongtong? Qin Ya? Don¡¯t fool around, where are you guys?¡± several girls shouted. However, after searching for half a day, they were certain that Qin Ya wasn¡¯t ying a joke on them. Instead, she had really disappeared. They were so anxious they nearly burst into tears. ¡°What should we do?¡± ¡°What else can we do? Of course we should call the police quickly!¡± ¡­¡­ On the other hand¡­ ¡°Let us go! Who are you?¡± When Qin Ya and Zhao Tongtong entered the washroom just now, a ck shadow shed before them. Then, they felt a stab of pain in their backs before fainting. When they woke up, they realized that they had been kidnapped and brought to this ce. It seemed to be a dpidated-looking house in the wilderness. At that moment, they cried out in horror. ¡°Yes, let us go quickly. Let me tell you this. Qin Ya is acquainted with a lot of rich Young Masters, so if you do not let us go, you are going to be in so much trouble,¡± said Zhao Tongtong. ¡°Hahaha! I am so scared. Of course, I know that Miss Qin is Young Master Long¡¯s fianc¨¦. In addition to that, I heard that Young Master Long seems to have taken a liking to Miss Qin. Actually, the reason I kidnapped you all today is so that I can use Miss Qin here to make that b*stard, Long Shaoyun, pay me the money he owes me. I don¡¯t mean any harm. After I get my money, I will leave immediately. Moreover, I will not harm a single hair on Miss Qin¡¯s head.¡± The person turned out to be Hou San. Hou San was an avaricious guy. He would do anything as long as money was involved. At this moment, the very reason he was thinking of threatening Long Shaoyun was money. After all, he wouldn¡¯t want to have a fall out with his employer and blurt out the fact that Long Shaoyun had made a deal with him to rape Ouyang Ru unless as ast resort. Because if that was the case, then he would have offended the Chen, Long and Ouyang families, whereby he would definitely meet a tragic end. He was a smart guy, so he came up with this n. ¡°Hehe! Miss Qin, you are indeed beautiful. I believe that Long Shaoyun will give me the money in exchange for his gorgeous fianc¨¦.¡± Hou San pinched Qin Ya¡¯s chin. ¡°Hmph! Not only Long Shaoyun, another Young Master, wille here as well. You would be dead if he knew that you have kidnapped Qin Ya. He is none other than Jin Ling¡¯s Young Master Chen, Chen Hao,¡± said Zhao Tongtong. ¡°What? Chen Hao?¡± Hou San¡¯s jaw clenched. If it weren¡¯t because of the fact that he had offended Chen Hao, he wouldn¡¯t be reduced to hiding in the wilderness. The Chen family''s power and influence in Jin Ling was indeed a force to be reckoned with. ¡°Tongtong, stop it. I have no connection with that person anymore. Besides, I have already ended my rtionship with him. So, why would he help me?¡± Qin Ya looked at Tongtong and said. ¡°Hmph, even if you severed your connection with him, Chen Hao will definitelye and rescue you. I don¡¯t believe that he won¡¯t,¡± said Zhao Tongtong. ¡°From today onward, I don¡¯t ever want to see that jerk again,¡± said Qin Ya coldly. ¡°Hey! Are you two done with your chit-chat yet? You are being kidnapped here! What do you guys think you are doing? Do you think I do not exist at all?¡± Hou San was angry when he heard their ongoing conversation. Zhao Tongtong was so scared that she immediately kept quiet. Hou San rubbed his nose and took Qin Ya¡¯s mobile phone from her. ¡°I don¡¯t care about the Young Masters. I just want the money.¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. With that, he used Qin Ya¡¯s mobile phone to call Long Shaoyun. ¡°My dear Qin Ya, why did you suddenly think of calling me?¡± The sound of Long Shaoyun¡¯s affectionate voice drifted over from the other end of the phone. ¡°F*ck you! Stop your nonsense! Qin Ya is in my hands now, so if you do not want anything to happen to your precious Qin Ya, give me my money, and I will release them immediately,¡± Hou San cursed. ¡°Huh? Hou San? You are really gutsy. I already spared your life once, and you dare to kidnap Qin Ya?¡± Long Shaoyun¡¯s voice became cold. ¡°Haha! What do you mean spared my life? Let me tell you this, Long Shaoyun. Today I shall take into ount our past and current grudges. Besides, I want triple the amount of money that you owed me. You can consider that aspensation for the emotional damage that you caused me. Moreover, I have the recording of the petty things you¡¯ve done in the past. I want you to deliver the money to me personally, and I will return all these things to you in one go. Then, we are considered even," said Hou San with a smirk. Since he had already suffered some losses once, he wouldn''t fall for it a second time again. Although Long Shaoyun and his men were powerful, how could they ever dream of catching him? The mere thought made himugh. He believed that Long Shaoyun was clear about this as well. ¡°I won¡¯t go there personally. I will send my men over with the money. Where are you?¡± said Long Shaoyun coldly. ¡°No way! You muste here personally. I need to exin some things to you face-to-face. I promise that you will regret it in the future if you don¡¯te here personally. Moreover, I want you toe here alone,¡± said Hou San with an evil smile. ¡°You can say whatever you want. I already told you that I won¡¯t be going. Just try me,¡± said Long Shaoyun with a smile. ¡°Damn it! You are noting? If you don¡¯te here personally, I rather not take the money, instead I shall have some fun with your fianc¨¦ here. Don¡¯t believe me? She is so pretty anyway.¡± ¡°I am going to give you 3 million. In exchange, you must release the hostages and leave behind the recording. Anything other than that is off the table. In addition to that, I hope you think carefully about your consequencester.¡± With that Long Shaoyun hung up. ¡°Hey! Hey! Damn it, he really is a beast! How can he ignore his own woman?¡± Hou San¡¯s face was livid with anger. On the other hand, although Qin Ya had never been in love with Young Master Long, not even in the slightest, she still felt a chill in her heart when she heard his words just now. Sure enough, a scumbag would always be a scumbag, no matter how much he tried to hide it. Their nature would be exposed the moment they faced a real crisis. ¡°Haha! It seems that you have miscalcted. Our rtionship is not as good as you think it is. You can dream on if you think you can use me to threaten him.¡± Qin Yaughed bitterly. ¡°What should I do now? I definitely need to do something as I have already offended three powerful families in one shot. I can¡¯t just take 3 million and leave!¡± Hou San was scratching his head repeatedly. Suddenly, he pped his thighs. He had a stroke of inspiration. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned. How could I forget? If it is really not possible, then I can earn some money from Young Master Chen. The Long family is giving me 3 million, and since the Chen family is richer, I can ckmail them for at least 4 or 5 million. This transaction is worth it. Furthermore, I have the information that Young Master Chen wants. Hehe!¡± Hou Sanughed. Then, he walked over to Qin Ya¡¯s side and said, ¡°Miss Qin, can I trouble you to give me Young Master Chen¡¯s contact number?¡± ¡°Sorry, I no longer have any connection with him. So, I don¡¯t have any way to contact him anymore. Moreover, don¡¯t you think that you are being ridiculous by using me to threaten him?¡± Qin Ya smiled coldly. ¡°Hehe, what do you mean ridiculous? I have the information that he wants. Even if you are worth nothing in his eyes, the information that I have is valuable. After all, he really got screwed over badly by Long Shaoyun and me. Hence, Young Master Chen will never be able to clear his name over the usation of raping a member of the Ouyang family. So, he is desperately searching for me to prove that he is innocent.¡± Since Hou San won¡¯t be staying in this country any longer, these secrets weren¡¯t secrets anymore, and he wasn¡¯t afraid of offending anybody else as well. When Qin Ya heard those words, she jerked her head up. ¡°What did you say just now?¡± Chapter 320 Proceed Alone Chapter 320 Proceed Alone ¡°Hehe! I guess it¡¯s okay to tell you this then so that you can understand what kind of person your fianc¨¦, Long Shaoyun, is. Young Master Chen is such a careless person as well since he never brings along any attendants with him. So that day, Long Shaoyun found me and wanted to discuss some things with me¡­¡± After Hou San was done, Qin Ya¡¯s breathing became rapid. ¡°So it turns out that it was all your doing! Chen Hao did nothing at all. Why would you frame him like that?!¡± Qin Ya¡¯s eyes turned red while an inexplicable feeling welled up inside her heart. How could she be that dumb?! She had known Chen Hao for quite some time already. How could he be that kind of person? Moreover, Chen Hao tried to exin to her that he was innocent. He told her this as he considered her to be his best friend. However, she did not believe a single word he said. Apart from that, she also called him a disgusting jerk. He must have felt very upset back then. A lot of people didn¡¯t trust him. She was the only friend he had at that time, but she did not believe him at all. Just now, Chen Hao even came to visit her in order to exin everything to her. However, why did she not hear him out? Why did she have to chase him away?! ¡°Chen Hao, I have wrongfully used you. I am really sorry!¡± Qin Ya¡¯s tears streamed down her face. ¡°Get over it already. I don¡¯t care what misunderstanding you have with him. As soon as I get my money, I will disappear without a trace so that nobody can find me anymore. You guys can go ahead and fight amongst yourselves. Haha!¡± said Hou San. ¡°Give me his phone number quickly.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have it. Furthermore, I will never let you harm him!¡± ¡°What do you mean, harm him? I just want to help him clear up the misunderstanding. I won¡¯t harm him. Give it to me quickly. If you refuse to cooperate, I will rape your friend first. Don¡¯t think that I am a saint. Believe me!¡± said Hou San as he loosened his belt. ¡°Ah! Don¡¯t do that!¡± Zhao Tongtong was so frightened that she screamed out loud. ¡°Qin Ya, I don¡¯t think he means any harm. Please just let Chen Haoe to rescue us, ok?¡± Zhao Tongtong cried. ¡°You are wrong, Tongtong. If we really ask Chen Hao to rescue us, I bet he won¡¯te at all as I have hurt him deeply. I don¡¯t even think that we can be friends anymore.¡± Qin Ya¡¯s eyes were red as she said, ¡°If he dide here, then it must be for his own benefit.¡± ¡°Fine! Give it to me quickly so that I can take my money and escape,¡± said Hou San helplessly. Zhao Tongtong said, ¡°I have his number. Here, I will give it to you.¡± Following that, Hou San gave Chen Hao a call. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Zhao Tongtong?¡± Chen Hao answered the call quickly. ¡°Hehe! Young Master Chen, my name is Hou San. Nice to meet you.¡± ¡°Hou San?¡± ¡°You may have forgotten this, but we met at the hotel this afternoon.¡± ¡°It¡¯s you !¡± Chen Hao sat bolt upright on his bed. ¡°That¡¯s right. I have taken the liberty to invite Miss Qin and Miss Zhao over to my ce. Furthermore, I am well aware that you turned the entire Jin Ling upside down to look for me. Well, here I am now, and I want to make a deal with you,¡± said Hou San. ¡°How dare you kidnap Qin Ya? What do you n to do?¡± asked Chen Hao coldly. ¡°It¡¯s like this. I know that you have been wronged. I did it because Miss Chen took ¡®really good care¡¯ of me in the past, and I felt resentful. Why don¡¯t we make a deal? I have recorded the ins and outs of the entire incident. As long as you give me a small sum, I will vanish from your sight and your name will be cleared.¡± ¡°I am asking you a question. Why did you kidnap Qin Ya?¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t worry about that. I guarantee you that no harm will befall Miss Qin. However, you must personally deliver the money to me as I do not ept any bank transfers. You cannot bring along your subordinates as well. I know that your subordinates, Tian Long and Di Hu are really powerful. Hence¡­ Hehe!¡± On the other hand, Qin Ya bit her lip and listened intently to the voice from the other side of the phone. ¡°Fine, I will head over there. Release them immediately,¡± Chen Hao replied without a second thought. If Qin Ya was dragged into this matter because of him, Chen Hao would feel really bad about it. He was utterly disappointed with Qin Ya, as he felt that she should have believed him since he helped her out, but he did not hate her. Furthermore, he did not want to involve her in this matter as well. They had already severed all connections with each other anyway. Hence, there was no reason for her to suffer because of him. ¡°Young Master Chen, you are indeed frank. You have already made me regret my actions to frame you. Fine, I am at¡­¡± After Hou San spoke a few more sentences, Chen Hao hung up the phone. On the other hand, tears started to stream down Qin Ya¡¯s face. ¡°He does not hate me. Moreover, he¡¯s willingly risking his own life toe here alone for me.¡± Qin Ya¡¯s heartpletely melted. After briefing Tian Long and Di Hu, Chen Hao drove to the location by himself. Chen Hao reached the destination with a bag of cash in his hand and stood in the middle of the wilderness. ¡°Young Master Chen, I see you. Sure enough, you did not bring your men along.¡± Hou San was looking at him through a telescope from another location. After making sure that he indeed did not bring any reinforcements, he revealed the second location to Chen Hao and asked Chen Hao to head there quickly. Damn it! This guy is really cunning, Chen Hao thought to himself helplessly. He could only listen to his orders. After going around in circles, he finally came face-to-face with the wretched-looking crook, Hou San. ¡°Nice to meet you, Young Master Chen.¡± Hou San gave him a bow. ¡°Stop your nonsense. Let them go, and where is the recording I want?¡± Chen Hao threw the money in front of Hou San. ¡°It¡¯s here. Everything is here. You can prove your innocence with this recording. No doubt about it,¡± said Hou San with a smile. On the other hand, Chen Hao walked toward Qin Ya and Zhao Tongtong. Then, he released their bonds. Hou San had gagged them just now as he was afraid that they would make a sound. N?velDrama.Org content. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± After Qin Ya was released from her bonds, she immediatelyunched herself into Chen Hao¡¯s arms and cried. ¡°I am sorry. I have wronged you! I should have believed you! I am sorry that I blurted out that I was in a rtionship with Long Shaoyun to piss you off,¡± cried Qin Ya. On the other hand, Chen Hao¡¯s hands hung in midair as he did not know what to do. ¡°As long as you guys are safe. Let¡¯s go then.¡± Chen Hao did not return the hug, instead he gently pushed her away and smiled. ¡°Wait a minute, Young Master Chen. I still have one more condition,¡± said Hou San. ¡°What do you want?¡± Chen Hao frowned. ¡°When I leave this ce for good from now on, I want you to keep the things that I have done a secret if Miss Chen ever asks about it. Don¡¯t ever tell her that I did all those things. Young Master Chen, I know that you are a kind-hearted and forgiving person, but Miss Chen is not. I will be hacked into pieces. Hence, I beg of you, Young Master Chen, to spare me on the ount that I did not mean much harm. Let Miss Chen deal with the Long family because they were the ones who instructed me to do that in the first ce.¡± said Hou San as he gulped. Chen Hao nodded his head. Then, he led Zhao Tongtong and Qin Ya out of here. On the other hand, Hou San peered through the telescope from the window of the house. Obviously, Hou San was an experienced man. He was afraid that Chen Hao would order his men to kill him. On the other hand, Chen Hao merely smiled faintly when he walked out. ¡°Hou San, you don¡¯t have to look around in all directions with that telescope of yours. If not, you won¡¯t see the big picture!¡± yelled Chen Hao. ¡°What the f*ck! Young Master Chen, what do you mean?¡± Hou San who was on high alert suddenly felt that something wasn¡¯t right. At this moment, he heard a whirring sound above his head. He lifted his head and was instantly dumbfounded. Chapter 321 Struggle Chapter 321 Struggle One by one, helicopters could be seen flying across the sky. All of them formed a ring encircling the ce from above. There were a total of around thirty helicopters. Hou San was dumbfounded. Even Zhao Tongtong covered her mouth in shock. Damn! Although Zhao Tongtong grew up in the city too, she had never seen such a grand scene before! ¡°Chen Hao, you lied!¡± Hou San yelled, terrified. He took the money, and was about to run. However, bodyguards started descending from the ropedders hanging from the helicopters. Hou San was trapped in no time. ¡°I can¡¯t believe it''s you, Hou San. I thought that you wouldn¡¯t dare toe back anymore. I really did not expect you toe back and still try to extort money from Chen Hao! Aren¡¯t you scared of the CEO finding out?¡± Li Zhenguo walked down, nked by Tian Long and Di Hu. Heughed coldly. It was obvious that they knew each other. Seeing Li Zhenguo as well as Tian Long and Di Hu, Hou San abolished all ns to run away. Yes, it was toote to exin. If Li Zhenguo informed the CEO about this, she would never forgive him. By that time, any chance of him surviving would be out the window. However, he might still get a chance if he surrendered without putting up a fight. ¡°Hehehe! If it weren¡¯t for the CEO asking me to leave, I wouldn¡¯t have be like this! Moreover, Zhenguo, although I helped frame Young Master Chen, I¡¯m still a nice person. You have no idea! Long Shaoyun didn¡¯t n on just framing Young Master Chen, he also wanted me to knock him out and feed him aphrodisiacs! That was why I refused. But look! I took the initiative to provide evidence that could help Young Master Chen clear up the usations,¡± Hou San defended cheekily. ¡°Zhenguo, do you remember when we were as close as brothers, working together under the CEO? Moreover, I saved your life once! Can¡¯t you let me go? I was a brat back then, but look at what I¡¯ve be now that I have matured!¡± ¡°You still remember that you used to work for the CEO? I thought you had forgotten. As to how we are going to handle you, it ultimately depends on Young Master Chen!¡± Li Zhenguo walked over to Chen Hao¡¯s side. ¡°Hou San worked under my sister before?¡± Chen Hao asked, surprised. Ah, looks like this is why Hou San is so afraid of my sister! ¡°Yes, Young Master Chen. Back when Miss Chen had just started at Jin Ling City, she was aided by me, Zhao Zixing as well as Hou Anping, also known as Hou San. We were all just around twenty back then. However, one day, Hou San got so drunk, he impregnated one of the female workers. Enraged, Miss Chen fired him.¡± Li Zhenguo nced at Hou San and chuckled coldly. ¡°So that was what happened! Well, since he gave us the evidence, I won¡¯t dwell on it any longer!¡± To be honest, Chen Hao wanted to find some people to beat him to a pulp initially. But now, Hou San was still fooling around. He evenughed at Chen Hao. Chen Hao too, didn¡¯t want to reason with someone like him. ¡°Hmph! I guess you¡¯re lucky after all, Hou San. Just leave the money and go away. I will forgive you this time!¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Although Li Zhenguo was furious, he also felt somewhat relieved at the same time. After all, they used to hang out together. Moreover, Hou San did save him once. He was still afraid that Young Master Chen might snap and finish him. ¡°I-I-I, I don''t want to go!¡± Hou San refused. ¡±What do you want?¡± ¡°Young Master Chen, look. Since I have nowhere else to go anymore, why don¡¯t you take me in? I promise I won¡¯t repeat the same mistake again! Young Master Chen, please let me stay by your side!¡± Hou San requested. Yes, when he first met Chen Hao at the hotel, he knew that Chen Hao was the kind of person who was righteous and fair. So, he wasn¡¯t kidding when he said those words just now. Although Long Shaoyun did make him use some dirty tricks to harm Chen Hao, Hou San went behind his back and did not really cause him any harm. Firstly, he was afraid of Chen Xiao. Secondly, he still owed Chen Xiao a debt of gratitude. He was afraid ofing back. All he wanted was to extort some money before he fled from this ce. In reality, he recorded his conversation with Long Shaoyun to keep an eye on him. If everything went ording to n and he got his money, the misunderstanding wouldst for at most a week. However, by that time, he would have already found a secure ce to hide himself and pass the recordings to Li Zhenguo. It looked like he had nowhere to run anymore. Might as well ask Chen Hao to take him in! ¡°You?¡± Chen Hao chuckled bitterly, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I will let you go today. I won¡¯t let my sister investigate this too. You should just leave!¡± Hou San¡¯s sly look made Chen Hao confused. He couldn¡¯t tell whether he was being serious or lying. ¡°C-C-Come on, Young Master Chen. I will give you a gift. Think of it as a truce! Young Master Chen, I promise you¡¯ll like it!¡± Hou San eximed. Chen Hao and Li Zhenguo looked at each other before nodding, ¡°Alright. Show me what you¡¯ve got.¡± After finishing, Chen Hao turned around and eyed Qin Ya along with Zhao Tongtong, ¡°General Manager Li, please assign one of the drivers to send them back!¡± His tone sounded cold and distant. Qin Ya was hoping that Chen Hao would say something more to her, maybe some words offort. However, he said nothing. When the car came, Chen Hao left without a word. He did it on purpose. It was better to be clear about his attitude and intentions anyway. This could prevent possible misunderstandings in the future. Qin Ya felt something breaking in her as she watched Chen Hao leave. Is this how it¡¯s going to be between me and Chen Hao from today onwards? Is he really disappointed in me? Are we still friends? Haha, probably not. This must be it. He just came over for the evidence and saved us while he was at it. I should stop overanalyzing it. Who even am I to him? How is it possible for Chen Hao to risk himself for me? Come on, Qin Ya. Stop being stupid. A small matter such as this isn¡¯t worth getting hung up over. Moreover, Chen Hao already has Su Tongxin. He just wanted to take the chance to make it clear that there is nothing between me and him, isn¡¯t it obvious? Qin Ya reminded herself bitterly. Initially, she still thought that there really was someone who would sacrifice themselves to save her. It was all lies! Just lies! When Qin Ya returned home that night, she tossed and turned in her bed before finally drifting off at midnight. Around nine in the morning the next day, loud noises from outside her bedroom woke Qin Ya. ¡°Come on, Xiangnan. You¡¯ve got to find a solution for this! We left the Qin family with you from the start anyway. You have the responsibility to look after us! If not, the family won¡¯t be able to be maintained any longer!¡± Qin Ya¡¯s parents were back. There were also a few elder rtives that came over. They were discussing how to counter the Long family as well as Yan Jing¡¯s Qin family. Back then, due to some matters, Qin Xiangnan led the few of them to leave the family in a fit of rage. However, now, the enterprise that all of them worked to build together couldn¡¯t be maintained anymore. Naturally, he had to shoulder the responsibility. ¡°There¡¯s still no progression between Qin Ya and the Long family¡¯s third young master! This isn¡¯t good! Today, Long Shaoyun¡¯s birthday party will be held at Hot Spring Vi. He had specifically asked for Qin Ya to attend it with him. He¡¯s making it clear that he wants Qin Ya to ept his wedding proposal!¡± the adultsmented. ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯m sure that all of you know what happened to Qin Ya yesterday. That Young Master Long didn¡¯t even reach out to help her! She¡¯s resting now but, sigh, she doesn''t deserve this!¡± Qin Xiangnan and the others rushed home right before dawn. After all, his daughter was almost kidnapped. It was a serious matter. Just as everyone was anxiously discussing a solution, the door opened. Qin Ya walked out with a somber expression, ¡°Mom, Dad, don¡¯t be worried! I¡¯ll go today!¡± Chapter 322 Young Master Longs Birthday Party Chapter 322 Young Master Long''s Birthday Party ¡°Qin Ya, why aren¡¯t you resting in your room? What are you doing out here?¡± Qin Xiangnan asked. He felt sorry for his daughter. ¡°Cough! Qin Ya, you are a good daughter. You know what the Long family is like, we can¡¯t afford to offend them. Moreover, it¡¯s not like Young Master Long doesn¡¯t love you. You also told us that when you were kidnapped, Young Master Long was willing to fork out a few million to save you!¡± one of the rtives said. Qin Ya told Qin Xiangnan who was worried sick about what happenedst night. So, naturally, her father told all of them too. ¡°Haha¡­¡± Qin Ya let out a bitter chuckle. She knew what they meant. However, it wasn¡¯t like she was angry at them for saying it. After all, they were all overwhelmed by the pressure from both the Long family and Yan Jing¡¯s Qin family. All of them had families to take care of, too. Qin Ya couldn¡¯t me them. Moreover, Qin Ya didn¡¯t really care about what would happen to her anymore. What could she do? Chen Hao didn¡¯t even bother about her anymore. He had Su Tongxin anyway. In the beginning, Qin Ya still hoped that both of them could be together. But now.... Whatever, she didn¡¯t want to think about it anymore. Right now, she just wanted to help her family get through this hardship while she could still be of use. ¡°Mom, dad, I¡¯ll go pack upter. Then, let¡¯s head to Hot Spring Vi to attend Young Master Long¡¯s birthday party!¡± Qin Ya told her parents after taking a deep breath, smiling lightly. She went back to her room after. Qin Xiangnan¡¯s heart felt heavy seeing his daughter acting like this. ¡°Young Master Chen, this is the present that I wanted to give you! Hehe, you must be interested, right?¡± Back to Chen Hao. Hou San ran over with a USB stick. He showed Chen Hao a video from the USB stick. Chen Hao chuckled coldly after watching it, ¡°You went to record this yesterday?¡± ¡°Hehe, of course! Although I don''t have much skill in anything else, no one can beat me at sneaking around and poking my nose into other people¡¯s business!¡± Hou San smacked his chest and said proudly. ¡°That¡¯s enough! Stop boasting!¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Li Zhenguoughed bitterly and said, ¡°With this and the recording from before, we will let him have a taste of his own medicine!¡± ¡°Yeap!¡± Chen Hao nodded with a smile. Right then, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. He nced at the screen. It was a call from his godbrother, Huang Yonghao. ¡°What is it, Yonghao?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Bro, we were attacked just now. Xiaofei was beaten pretty badly!¡± ¡°What?! Who would have such audacity?!¡± Chen Hao bellowed. ¡°Who else could it be if not Long Shaoyun? He is holding his birthday party today. Almost every powerful person in Jin Ling except for the Chen family were invited. Hence, Xiaofei and I brought a few people over to mess around with them¡­¡± Huang Yonghao summarized the whole incident. Basically, they were annoyed that Long Shaoyun was obviously against the Chen family and Chen Hao. So, they got beaten up by the Long family¡¯s underlings when both of them tried to cause a disturbance. The Long family was very powerful. This time, Long Shaoyun¡¯s birthday party was held in Jin Ling. He even chose to host the party at Hot Spring Vi that Chen Hao¡¯s sister used to operate. It was very obvious that he was against them. Moreover, quite an amount of people from the Long family came this time. If Xiaofei and Yonghao went to cause a disturbance without a heads up, they would have suffered quite a loss. ¡°You guys shoulde over now!¡± Chen Hao instructed. Chen Hao treated both Bai Xiaofei and Huang Yonghao as if they were his real brothers. ¡°We are downstairs now. I still need to help Xiaofei!¡± Huang Yonghao informed. ¡°I¡¯ming down right now!¡± Chen Hao brought Hou San along with him to meet up with the others. As expected, Bai Xiaofei was bruised all over. Huang Yonghao¡¯s face wasn¡¯t spared either. ¡°Young Master Chen! So sorry for embarrassing you!¡± Bai Xiaofeimented as if he was a defeated soldier. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s go in to talk!¡± Chen Hao patted Bai Xiaofei and Huang Yonghao¡¯s shoulders, ushering them to go in. ¡°Chen Hao! Chen Hao!¡¯ Suddenly, a feminine voice was heard calling out for Chen Hao. When Chen Hao looked back, he saw none other than Han Siyu. It had been a period of time since hest saw her. Now that they met again, he noticed that she was even prettier than before. ¡°Han Siyu, why are you here?¡± Chen Hao wondered. ¡°Hmph! I can¡¯t believe you even mentioned that! I don¡¯t even see you in school anymore, so I wanted to Ever since Chen Hao¡¯s identity was revealed, Han Siyu struggled for a short time. Her mindset toward Chen Hao had changed greatly. For example, in the past, Han Siyu was always hesitant of her feelings toward Chen Hao when she was still suspicious of him being Young Master Chen. It wasn¡¯t until she saw Chen Hao being held in respect by so many people at Yunhua Community that she finally made up her mind. ¡°Just to see me? Alright, here I am!¡± Chen Hao said. He couldn¡¯t help butugh wryly. ¡°Tsk! Why did you change so much? Fine. I knew you forgot all about us since there are so many girls around you anyway. I actually came here to see you for something else too!¡± Han Siyu said. Chen Hao didn¡¯t know how Han Siyu managed to find him. But, he also knew the location of the ce he lived wasn¡¯t exactly a secret. He nodded, motioning for her to continue. ¡°The thing is, I opened a new entertainmentpany and I¡¯m training my own live streamers now. I was thinking, since I¡¯m under yourpany either way, we could go live streaming at Yunmeng Mountain to gain poprity. But, I heard that we can¡¯t enter that area!¡± Han Siyu exined. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll help you. You guys can just head there right after you get back!¡± Chen Hao smiled and assured her. Seeing the way Chen Hao treated her made Han Siyu pout a little. She had mixed feelings about it. She was happy that Chen Hao didn¡¯t me her for being rude and still treated her as a friend. However, she was also sad when she remembered that Chen Hao used to steal nces at her back in college and as a girl, of course she knew what that meant. Chen Hao liked her. But, how would she have taken an interest in a loser like him back then? In short, she felt regretful. If only she had epted Chen Hao¡¯s feelings, everything would have turned out nicely! ¡°Oh, yeah. Can you help me with something too?¡± Chen Hao suddenly thought of something and asked. ¡°Huh? What? What can I help you with?¡± Han Siyu asked, surprised. ¡°Well, you cane inside with me first. We will discuss it inside!¡± Chen Hao chuckled and exined. At the same time, Hot Spring Vi was bustling and crowded with people today. Even since Chen Hao¡¯s sister wanted him to build his own enterprise, she auctioned off the original Jin Ling Commercial Group. One of the properties auctioned off was Hot Spring Vi. With Long Shaoyun holding his birthday party out of nowhere, everyone knew what he was up to. In short, the Long family would start their goal here. After all, you should climb back up from where you fell down! ¡°Young Master Long, looks like many people came to support you today!¡± One of the servants tried to tter him, looking on at the event. ¡°Haha, nonsense! By the way, have Qin Ya and her family arrived yet?¡± Long Shaoyun questioned. ¡°I¡¯ve asked, they¡¯re on the way now. Haha, it doesn¡¯t matter how stubborn Miss Qin is, she is still wrapped around your finger!¡± ¡°Hmph! That woman! I can¡¯t believe she still loves that as*hole Chen Hao when I lower myself to treat her nicely! Looks like I have to pressure her even more so that she can¡¯t ignore my presence anymore! The more she acts like this, the more I want her to be mine! F*ck, talking about her makes me lustful!¡± Right at this moment, one of the waitresses walked over dutifully, wanting to serve Young Master Long tea. However, she identally knocked over the cups. ¡°What the f*ck, are you¡ª¡± Long Shaoyun wanted to unleash his rage on her. But, when he saw her face, he was tongue- tied... Chapter 323 Young Master Long Who Was Trapped in the Room Chapter 323 Young Master Long Who Was Trapped in the Room ¡°Hey, you look quite pretty. Why didn¡¯t I see you just now?¡± Long Shaoyun suddenly squinted his eyes and asked suspiciously. ¡°Maybe you were too busy. Moreover, some people caused a disturbance just now. How could you have noticed me!¡± The girl smiled. She looked even prettier when she smiled. After finishing what she said, she went back to pouring wine for Long Shaoyun. However, Long Shaoyun took her hand in his, stopping her. ¡°Look, you¡¯ve poured the wine all over me just now! You can¡¯t just apologise to me. You should use another method to make me happy so that I won¡¯t be pissed at you anymore!¡± ¡°W-W-Well, Young Master Chen, how can I make you happy?¡± the girl asked bashfully. ¡°Haha! Come,e, follow me! Let¡¯s go to the back!¡± Long Shaoyun saw that there was still around an hour before the event officially started, giving him some time to have some fun. ¡°Young Master Long, right now?¡± the butler standing beside him reminded him. ¡°I know. Don¡¯t worry, I will be back soon!¡± Long Shaoyun assured. Then, he led the beautiful girl to the back. ¡°Shaoyun, where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± Suddenly, a woman blocked Long Shaoyun¡¯s path. ¡°Hey, sister-inw. I have something I need to settle in the back. I will be back soon, haha!¡± The woman in front of him was none other than Yang Xia, her sister Yang Lu, and a few ssmates that Yang Lu had invited. Disdain shed in Yang Xia¡¯s eyes. She obviously knew what Long Shaoyun was up to. Due to some issues, she even fought with himst night. Why, you¡¯d ask. Well, it was due to today¡¯s birthday party. Yang Xia wanted them to invite Chen Hao. What she wanted was simple. Since she was going to bask in the limelight today, of course she wanted Chen Hao toe. Where was the party held? At Hot Spring Vi. The ce where she had fallen to her lowest point in the first ce. This was the best ce for her to humiliate Chen Hao. To be honest, she hadn¡¯t had enough of shaming Chen Hao. She wanted to humiliate him in front of everyone. Looking at her living her moment so that he could regret. She wanted to make him feel ufortable. Can you see? So what if I left you, Chen Hao? I¡¯m different now, go wallow in your regret and self-pity. It was that simple. Yang Xia didn¡¯t ask for any more. However, Long Shaoyun had different opinions. This birthday party was organised to go against Chen Hao. Thus, both of them ended up bickering. Of course, she couldn''t have won over Long Shaoyun. Thus, she ignored him and left with her sister. ¡°Hey, Young Master Long, what do you want to do? Why did you bring me to the guest room area? What about all the guests in the front?¡± the girl asked. ¡°Hehehe!¡± ¡°Why do you think I brought you here? Go inside!¡± Long Shaoyunughed menacingly. He held her arms and pushed her into one of the rooms. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± the girl shrieked, ¡°Someone, help me! Please!¡± ¡°What the f*ck! Everyone in this vi today are my people! No one would dare¡ª¡± Bang! Suddenly, the door was knocked down by someone else. Around four to five people rushed in. ¡°Sis! What the hell? How dare you touch my little sister?! Did you guys record that? It seems to me that you have a death wish huh?!¡± One of the men walked over and raged. A few other men behind him were recording the scene with their phones. ¡°Oh! Brother, you¡¯re here! I was so scared¡± The girl immediately ran over to the man. Long Shaoyun was taken aback and hurriedly stood up. When he saw the man¡¯s face, his pupils dted involuntarily. ¡°H-H-Hou San? Why are you here? How did you get in?¡± Cold sweat was forming on Long Shaoyun¡¯s forehead. ¡°What a coincidence, looks like it''s Young Master Long! How dare you treat my little sister like this! I will murder you!¡± After finishing, Hou San jumped on Long Shaoyun, kicking him right in the chest. Long Shaoyun flew from the side of the bed to the other end from the impact. He ced a hand on his chest, feeling as if blood would start pouring out soon. ¡°Someone hold him down for me!¡± Hou San instructed his men. Immediately, a few of them came up and held Long Shaoyun down. Long Shaoyun was so terrified he turned as pale as a ghost. ¡°Help! Is anyone there?¡± He bellowed for help with all his might. ¡°Yeah, scream, scream louder! No one can hear you even if you scream till you go mute in this room. First, you ordered my assasination. Now, you do this to my sister? Long Shaoyun, you¡¯ve definitely Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. crossed me now!¡± After saying that, he gave Long Shaoyun a p on his face. ¡°S-S-Sir San, I was wrong! It¡¯s all my fault! Since when do you have a sister? I never knew about it!¡± Long Shaoyun admitted defeat. ¡°p!¡± He received another p on his face. ¡°How dare you talk back to me? You have the audacity to treat my sister like this, huh? You¡¯re going to get it from me!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so sorry! I was wrong! Hou San, I know that we have had past conflicts. I know you wanted revenge.You wanted money, right? It¡¯s my birthday today, all of the elders from the Long family came too! We should discuss this properly. How much money do you want? I will pay you as much as you want!¡± Long Shaoyun wasn¡¯t stupid. He knew that he was framed. Someone was trying to set him up. Right now, he really regretted not controlling his urges. ¡°Besides that, Hou San, I¡¯m sure that you know who I am. It wouldn¡¯t benefit you if you offend me, right? I also heard that the entire vi was set up with surveince cameras. You guys won¡¯tst any longer without my men noticing. When they rush over, this won¡¯t be ending nicely. So, what about it? Take the money and leave now!¡± Long Shaoyun hurriedly said. ¡°Not bad, Young Master Long. Even in a situation like this, you still don¡¯t forget to threaten me, huh? Well, we took the back doors anyway. Do you know who set up the surveince cameras back then?¡± Hou San chuckled coldly. ¡°Who did?¡± ¡°It was me!¡± Hou San bellowed. He received another p. Long Shaoyun gulped. ¡°What do you want then?¡± ¡°Well, what I¡¯m thinking right now is pretty simple. I don¡¯t want your dirty money anyway. Since I caught you red handed trying to humiliate my sister, what about this? Why don¡¯t you kowtow to me three times, and shout that you¡¯re a son-of-a-b*tch while you¡¯re at it. Then, I will forgive you. What do you think?¡± Hou San smirked. ¡°You wish!¡± ¡°p!¡± Another p. He was still reluctant. ¡°Looks like I¡¯m going all out today. Well, at most I¡¯ll just die together with you. It wasn¡¯t like you would forgive me either!¡± Hou San reached for his knife right after. He watched as Hou San¡¯s eyes turned red from anger. He knew that with the hatred Hou San bore toward him, he was capable of trying anything. ¡°No, no, no, stop! I¡¯ll call myself a son-of-a-b*tch! I will do it!¡± Right then, Long Shaoyun was so terrified that he kneeled. ¡°I¡¯m a son-of-a-b*tch!¡± ¡°...¡± He yelled three times consecutively. This scene was recorded by everyone else with their phones. When Long Shaoyun yelled the third time, he suddenly jerked his head up. He reached up to pull off the bed sheets and threw them in Hou San¡¯s direction. Then, he hurriedly stood up. Rushing over to the windows, he opened them and leaped out. ¡°Damn it! Don¡¯t let him get away!¡± Hou San was also taken aback. However, he immediately snapped out of it and hurried to capture him back. Yet, Long Shaoyun attracted the attention of the bodyguards at the front by making a bigmotion by screaming loudly while running. ¡°Young Master Long!¡± Long Hair could be seen running over with a bunch of bodyguards... Chapter 324 The Compulsion Chapter 324 The Compulsion ¡°Mr. Hou, they are here!¡± One of the men warned with a frosty expression. ¡°There''s no need for us to face them head-on. Damn it, let''s retreat first!¡± Hou Sanmanded. He then left through the back of the mountain with the girls. Long Shaoyun stormed, ¡°Go! Go after them and kill all of them!¡± Since he was young, this was the first time Long Shaoyun was humiliated like that. It was also his first time receiving this kind of ill-treatment. No doubt that he couldn¡¯t stand it! A group of people went after them. ¡°Young Master Long, are you okay?¡± the butler asked with concern ¡°Sh*t! Do you think I look okay? Look at the ce you chose! How could they let Hou San and his men The butler was about fifty or sixty years old, yet Long Shaoyun still gave him a hard p on his face. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault, Young Master Long!¡± said the butler with embarrassment and regret. ¡°But it is your birthday and we have a lot of honorable guests here. We should head back first, Young Master Long.¡± Long Shaoyun fixed his neck tie angrily and went back to the hall. ¡°Look, isn¡¯t that Young Master Long''s fiancee, Miss Qin Ya?¡± ¡°Wow, I heard that Miss Qin Ya is very elegant and beautiful. Now, seeing her in person, it seems that what they said is true! She is really outstanding!¡± Looking at Qin Ya¡¯s family who were being invited in respectfully, many rich businessmen and celebrities couldn''t help talking about them. ¡°By the way, have you heard, Miss Qin Ya seems to have a close rtionship with Young Master Chen? There was a lot of romantic tension between them and she almost became his girlfriend!¡± ¡°What do you mean by almost? What I''ve heard is that Qin Ya has already be Young Master Chen''s woman. She is pregnant with his child! It''s not even a secret anymore!¡± ¡°Huh? Are you serious? How is that possible?¡± ¡°Stop gossiping. Be careful, don¡¯t let Young Master Long''s people hear you. Anyway, it¡¯s better not to talk about it anymore. I have heard about the love affair between Miss Qin Ya and Young Master Chen too. They didn¡¯t have a definite rtionship. But now, Miss Qin Ya is obviously Young Master Long''s woman!¡± The people were talking in a low voice. Other than having her family with her, Qin Ya had also asked her best friends, Zhao Tongtong and the other girls, to apany her to this party. Apparently, Qin Ya had heard the gossip from those people and she couldn¡¯t help blushing in embarrassment. If it wasn¡¯t because she had to be on her best behavior on this asion, she would have scolded those mean people who were gossiping about her. As for Yang Xia, she was resentful as she heard some of the gossip too. Originally, she thought that she would be the one in the limelight today. However, it was obvious that Qin Ya had stolen the spotlight as soon as she showed up, and this had already annoyed Yang Xia. Now, she felt even more irksome when she heard that Qin Ya had had a rtionship with Chen Hao before. Everyone thought Qin Ya was better and more beautiful than her. It made Yang Xia feel even more frustrated that this girl, Qin Ya, who was better than her in every aspect, had dated her ex-boyfriend before. Yang Xia was a little fretful, so she looked at Qin Ya with hostility. At this moment, Long Shaoyun hade back to the hall, and he spotted Qin Ya at once. He held some resentment toward her because Qin Ya always rejected him no matter how much effort he put into showing his affection to her. And now, she even came to celebrate his birthday with a cold expression. Added to the fact that he was insulted just now, Long Shaoyun was even more annoyed after seeing Qin Ya. He sat down with those emotions bubbling up inside him. ¡°Young Master Long!¡± Some people from the Qin family quickly came to greet him. Long Shaoyun sat in the seat of honour without saying a word. At this time, Yang Xia said sourly, ¡°Shaoyun, it¡¯s your birthday today, but I think your fiancee seems very unhappy. And do you know what the guests said just now?¡± ¡°What did they say?¡± Yang Xia continued, ¡°They said that the person whom Qin Ya likes is Chen Hao. She is forced to be with you. They said that you¡¯ve ruined their rtionship!¡± Long Shaoyun fumed, ¡°Nonsense! Who the f*ck said that! I will kill them!¡± He pped his hand on the table so hard that it startled the guests. Everyone in the hall dared not utter a word. Although they were here to celebrate Long Shaoyun''s birthday today, everyone knew that their main purpose here was to tter him. At this time, Long Shaoyun looked at Qin Ya and said coldly, ¡°Qin Ya,e and sit next to me! I want to show them that you are my woman, and you will only be mine!¡± Qin Ya frowned and turned her head to the side. There were quite a number of people in the hall. They all smiled, eagerly waiting to watch the scene unfold. It was obvious that Qin Ya was ignoring Young Master Long. She was not showing him any respect. Long Shaoyun was in a bad mood today. He felt even more dejected as Qin Ya treated him coldly. Added with Yang Xia''s provoking words just now and the expressions of the people looking at him, he burst with anger. ¡°I asked you toe here! Didn''t you hear me?!¡± As he finished his words, he stood up to grab Qin Ya¡¯s arm and pulled her to his side harshly. ¡°What are you doing? How could you do that?¡± Zhao Tongtong and her friends looked at him angrily. At first, they thought that since Qin Ya and Chen Hao would not be a couple, it would be great for Qin Ya to be with Young Master Long from Yan Jing if he was a nice person. But now, it seemed that this man was just another douchebag. Long Shaoyun grabbed Qin Ya''s arm and dered, ¡°She''s my fiancee. She will have to do what I want her to do. Come here! Stay by my side and pour me some wine. To me, Chen Hao is just another loser!¡± Looking on, Qin Ya¡¯s family dared not say anything although their expression looked unhappy. Yang Xia was ted to see what was happening in front of her. Qin Ya sat down while holding her arm in pain. Long Shaoyun snapped, ¡°It''s my birthday today. Can you stop with the cold attitude? I want you to smile, smile and pour me wine!¡± The crowd had no idea why Long Shaoyun suddenly lost his temper, but all of them just kept quiet and watched the scene. The bitterness in Qin Ya''s heart grew more intense at this moment. She forced a nonchnt smile and poured some wine for Long Shaoyun. The crowd cheered in excitement at the scene. Yang Xia also gave a faint smile and said, ¡°Haha, she is quite nice. As for you all, how could you spread rumours that my sister-inw is in love with Chen Hao? How is that possible? The one she loves must be Shaoyun. Since you guys don''t believe it, Shaoyun, you should kiss her to prove it! Haha, this would be your best birthday present today!¡± ¡°That''s right! Kiss her! Kiss her!¡± After hearing Yang Xia''s words, everyone pped and cheered again. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Since Long Shaoyun was threatening Qin Ya, of course he was not going to take Qin Ya seriously. Hmph! ¡°It¡¯s just a kiss!¡± With that, Long Shaoyun sneered and moved to bring Qin Ya close to him and force a kiss on her. However, Qin Ya quickly dodged. Qin Ya couldn''t hold it in anymore and scolded, ¡°What are you doing? Are you mad?¡± ¡°Huh? What¡¯s going on?¡± The crowd was shocked. Yang Xia also pretended to be surprised at the scene. She said, ¡°Qin Ya, you shouldn¡¯t behave like this. It¡¯s Shaoyun''s birthday today, and it¡¯s obvious that you are not respecting him at all. Hmph, don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re still thinking of Chen Hao at this point, are you?¡± This exact sentence roused Long Shaoyun¡¯s anger. He red at Qin Ya angrily. Chapter 325 Looking for Trouble Chapter 325 Looking for Trouble ¡°How dare you turn away from me? You better obey me, or else I¡¯ll make sure your whole family disappears from Jin Ling!¡± Long Shaoyun snapped and grabbed Qin Ya¡¯s hair roughly to bring her in his arms. ¡°Let me go! You lunatic! Let go of me!¡± p! As Qin Ya struggled, she instinctively gave a loud p on Long Shaoyun¡¯s face. ¡°How dare you p me?¡± Long Shaoyun was about to explode from rage. Everyone else gaped in shock. ¡°Qin Ya, are you okay?¡± Zhao Tongtong and the girls quickly pulled Qin Ya aside to shield her from him. ¡°Kneel down in front of me now! Otherwise, I¡¯ll make sure you regret not doing so!¡± Long Shaoyun yelled angrily while holding his cheek. The people from the Long family came forward immediately. After all, pping Young Master Long in public was considered a huge humiliation for the Long family. ¡°Young Master Long, I apologize for what Qin Ya did. It was too discourteous for her to do that. I¡¯m terribly sorry!¡± Qin Xiangnan balled his fists tightly and clenched his teeth. After all, as a father, he could hardly swallow his anger when he saw his own daughter being mistreated. The Qin family didn¡¯t want things to escte, so Qin Ya¡¯s uncle walked to them with a polite smile. Bang! Immediately, he got a punch from Long Shaoyun and fell on the ground. ¡°Get out of here!¡± Long Shaoyun roared. ¡°Uncle!¡± Qin Ya cried. The members of the Qin family were terrified as well. They saw Long Shaoyun walking toward Qin Ya gradually. Bam! Suddenly, a small pebble hit Long Shaoyun¡¯s forehead.

He then turned to look at the entrance and saw a few men whom he didn¡¯t realize had entered the hall. The man walking in front was pointing his toy pistol at Long Shaoyun. ¡°Hahaha, bullseye!¡± The manughed and tossed the toy pistol aside. ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s you guys again? Do you want to die?¡± Long Shaoyun recognized these people as the people who came to cause trouble and were chased away by him with a beating earlier this morning. These men were Huang Yonghao and his gang. Huang Yonghao tucked both of his hands in his pockets and walked toward Long Shaoyun with a gang of people following behind him. ¡°You¡¯re right. My body is itching all over and needs a thrashing badly!¡± Huang Yonghao smirked. ¡°Men, get them¡­¡± Long Shaoyun was prepared to send his underlings to start a fight. But he was stopped by his butler at once. ¡°Young Master Long, stay calm. Let¡¯s see what he wants to do first!¡± ¡°Long Shaoyun, you better let go of my sister-inw! Otherwise, you¡¯re a goner!¡± Huang Yonghao pointed at Qin Ya while saying. ¡°What?!¡± Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded. ¡°Damn, Young Master Long was two-timed by this girl!¡± ¡°What a shame for the Long family!¡± The guests started gossiping. Bai Xiaofei, who was injured, nced at Huang Yonghao and reminded him to know his limits and not go too far when it came to making fun of Long Shaoyun. The joke he made was too much and it might lead to a hugemotion. ¡°It seems like the rumor is real! Young Master Long is dating someone else¡¯s girlfriend?¡± The guests didn¡¯t stop gossiping. As for Qin Ya, she looked at Huang Yonghao and said, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? I-I¡¯m not your sister-inw!¡± ¡°Hehe, I don¡¯t care. We¡¯re here today to protect you! We won¡¯t allow anything to happen to you!¡± Huang Yonghao said. Long Shaoyun¡¯s face nearly turned green with rage. ¡°I understand now. No wonder Young Master Huang and his gang came to make trouble here this morning. Two of the young masters are filled with jealousy and are fighting over this girl! As we know, Young Master Huang is the godbrother of Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± the people were tattling. ¡°Hmph! You have nerves of steel to make trouble here. If you really have the guts, why don¡¯t you ask Chen Hao toe here himself rather than sending you guys here as representatives? Ask him to She had no idea why she felt irritated when she heard Huang Yonghao calling Qin Ya his sister-inw. ¡°Motherf*cker! You guys are here to seek your demise, aren¡¯t you? How dare youe and cause trouble at my birthday party? Beat them to death!¡± Young Master Long growled, his eyes burning with fury. The Long family¡¯s bodyguards on duty immediately swarmed around him. There were almost a hundred of them. The hugemotion frightened all the rich businessmen and celebrities who were at the birthday party. ¡°Damn, there¡¯re so many of you! I¡¯m so scared! But are you sure you want topete with the number of the people we have here in Jin Ling?¡± Huang Yonghaoughed with his hands in his pockets. He then whistled. Thud, thud, thud. As soon as he whistled, a thunderous stomping sound could be heard and a huge crowd of men swarmed into the hall. The entire hillside of the Hot Spring Vi was fully crowded, and they were alling up to the hall. There were at least five or six hundred of them. All of these bodyguards were from the Chen family. The whole ce waspletely surrounded by them. There was another squad of people standing behind Huang Yonghao. Long Shaoyun was shocked by themotion too. Yang Xia also shut her mouth. Indeed, the Long family is at a disadvantage based on the current situation. Not to mention that these people here are all Chen Hao¡¯s men. Since when did Chen Hao be like this? Yang Xia thought. Some of the high-level personnel from the Long Group looked around and gulped at once. ¡°Young Master, please stay calm. They came to pick a fight on purpose. They would me uster if we were the ones who started the fight!¡± one of them advised Long Shaoyun. ¡°Shaoyun, bear with it. Let¡¯s wait and see what they want to do!¡± another man also said worriedly. Just then, someone eximed, ¡°General Manager Li is here!¡± The throng of people parted automatically to make room for Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing to pass through. ¡°General Manager Li, General Manager Zhao!¡± The rich business men at the side understood the situation and quickly greeted them. One of the middle-aged men from the Long Group went forward as soon as he saw Li Zhenguo. ¡°Mr. Li, I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. Our Young Master Long is having a party at Hot Spring Vi to celebrate his birthday. What are you doing here?¡± Apparently, some of the high-level personnel from the Long Group were acquainted with Li Zhenguo. ¡°Nothing much. I¡¯ve heard it is Young Master Long¡¯s birthday today so we¡¯vee to join the party! Happy birthday, Young Master Long!¡± Li Zhenguo smiled and said. ¡°Why are all these bodyguards here then, Mr. Li?¡± the man asked again. ¡°Oh, they were the guards who were working in Jin Ling Commercial Street before this. They were all excited when they heard that Young Master Long is celebrating his birthday at our old ce¡ªHot Spring Vi, so they are all here! Mr. Long, aren¡¯t you being too sensitive about it? And since we are here, aren¡¯t you going to invite us for a drink?¡± Li Zhenguo said. Long Shaoyun was not a fool. He understood the situation and didn¡¯t dare to make a move while holding back his pent-up frustration. He only turned his head to the side angrily. ¡°Of course, we wee all guests! Mr. Li, this way please!¡± the man from the Long Group said indifferently. After that, Li Zhenguo, Huang Yonghao and the rest sat at the table next to Long Shaoyun. As for Long Shaoyun, he felt gloomy and was thinking of having a ss of wine. p! He heard a sound and felt his cheek was hit by something. He looked up and saw it was Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei throwing peanuts at him. ¡°F*ck!¡± He red at them furiously and swallowed his anger while clenching his fists. p! Another hit. This time, a piece of meat was directly smacked onto his face. ¡°F*ck you!¡± Long Shaoyun got up from his seat immediately. ¡°Shaoyun, calm down!¡± However, the high-level personnel from the Long Group put a hand on his shoulder to stop him. Chapter 326 The Golf Ball Picker Chapter 326 The Golf Ball Picker The people from the Long family held back their resentment silently and dared not go against Huang Yonghao and their gang at the moment despite being provoked. ¡°Mr. Li, isn¡¯t that too much? Please discipline your people!¡± the people from the Long Group said. Li Zhenguo smiled faintly and said, ¡°Yonghao, watch your manners.¡± Only then did Huang Yonghao stop. Meanwhile, Chen Hao had reached therge golf course behind the hotel. Apparently he was waiting for someone. ¡°Has the helicopter arrived yet?¡± Chen Hao made a phone call. ¡°We¡¯re almost there, Young Master Chen!¡± Tian Long and Di Hu replied. Originally, Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to dispatch the helicopter team today. But Li Zhenguo advised him to confront the Long family with a deterrent force which could daunt them. Therefore, he shouldn¡¯t keep such a low-profile. Since he had decided to confront the Long family, Chen Hao didn¡¯t care about it anymore. Chen Hao looked around the golf course and saw there were quite a number of people ying golf. ¡°Excuse me, sir. We¡¯re clearing the golf course now. Please leave the premises. We¡¯re really sorry for the inconvenience.¡± A few staff members went to inform the customers who were still ying on the golf course. ¡°Huh? Why? We just started the game!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! How can you do this? I have to y with my client. What¡¯s your manager¡¯s number? I¡¯m calling the manager now!¡± ¡°Yes. We have already paid quite a sum and now you¡¯re chasing us away? No, we won¡¯t leave! And that¡¯s that!¡± There were a lot ofints from the customers. ¡°That¡¯s right. We finally get toe here with Madam Zhang Ke. How is it possible for us to leave like this?¡± one of the girls said with a frown on her face. ¡°Chen Chao, Wang Xue, am I right?¡± ¡°Yes. Since there are still a lot of people who have not left yet, we should just continue ying!¡± Chen Chao added. There were four men and women in the group. ¡°Madam Zhang Ke, it¡¯s so cool for your husband to bring us to this kind of ce! I¡¯ve always dreamt of visiting a golf course!¡± one of the girls said. ¡°Haha, my husband ising here with an important client for a game of golf. I just thought that we should tag along since we have nothing better to do. Although all of you were my students in middle school, we have always kept in touch and I¡¯ve always thought of you as my younger siblings!¡± Zhang Ke said. Seeing that she couldn¡¯t persuade them to leave, the staff left after that. After all, the staff didn¡¯t receive any formal instruction from the management. They were only asked to clear the course by reminding the people to leave. They wouldn¡¯t be the one to carry out the order if there was a serious instruction to clear the course. ¡°Hmph, finally they left us alone. They¡¯re so annoying! Oh ya, Wang Xue, Chen Chao, since both of you are getting married soon, you should take your wedding photo here! Look at the breathtaking view here. Just looking at it has lightened my mood!¡± a girl said excitedly while taking photos with her phone. ¡°Let¡¯s take many photos of this ce!¡± As she was taking the photos, she cried out suddenly, ¡°Oh my gosh!¡± She then stared at the photo she took for a few moments. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Li?¡± Zhang Ke, Wang Xue and Chen Chao all looked at Li. Then, Li pointed in a direction surprisingly and said, ¡°Madam Zhang Ke, Chen Chao, Xue, look at that guy! Don¡¯t you think he looks like Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Everyone was surprised and moved their gaze in that direction too. The person who was standing at a corner of the course with his hands in the pockets was no one else but Chen Hao. ¡°Why is he here? What is he doing here?¡± Li asked curiously. ¡°Who knows. Hmph. I heard that he has a wide connection with people. Perhaps, he is here to¡­ Haha, he must be here to help the others pick up their golf balls!¡± Zhang Ke said suddenly. ¡°Pfff, I think so. Last time during our ss gathering, he even said that he wanted to establish his own business. What a joke!¡± Li said with disdain. These people were the ssmates of Chen Hao in middle school, whom he metst time when he went back to his hometown to celebrate his birthday. It was Chen Chao¡¯s birthday on that day when he met them. Later only did Chen Hao know that Wang Xue, the girl who used to be quite close to him, had be Chen Chao¡¯s girlfriend now. As they didn¡¯t really have many things inmon to talk about, coupled with the fact that Chen Hao was rushing to his own birthday celebration, he didn¡¯t stay long with them. After he left, Chen Chao and the others nned to visit the Hot Spring Resort area. But when they reached there after finishing their lunch, they missed the event as it was already over. That was when Zhang Ke promised them that her husband could bring them to a five-star golf club to have fun when he needed to apany his clients in the future. That was why they were all here now. ¡°Madam Zhang Ke, should we go and say hi?¡± Li asked. ¡°Why not? Haha, look! He¡¯s really helping someone to pick up their golf ball!¡± Zhang Ke covered her grin and pointed at him. ¡°Hey you, are you blind? Pick up the golf ball for us!¡± As soon as Chen Hao ended his phone call just now, a golf ball rolled toward him. A girl who was learning to y golf hit the ball in the wrong direction. A man pointed at Chen Hao and instructed him to pick up the ball. It wasn¡¯t a big deal so Chen Hao went to help pick up the ball. ¡°Oh my. What kind of staff is this?¡± The man rolled his eyes after looking at Chen Hao. ¡°Oh darling, don¡¯t be so fierce to him. You¡¯ll scare him.¡± ¡°This kind of person needs to be properly disciplined. If you don¡¯t make full use of him or scold him, he wouldn¡¯t do his job properly!¡± Listening to their words, Chen Hao only shook his head and smiled bitterly. Obviously, he didn¡¯t want to bother himself with arguing with them. He was about to go back to his spot for a moment of peace. ¡°Hahaha, Chen Hao, what a coincidence to meet you here!¡± Meanwhile, Li and the gang walked up to him. They happened to spot the scene where Chen Hao helped someone to pick up their golf ball. They even thought that he was scolded because he was too slow. They initially thought Chen Hao was doing well as he had his many connections, but it seemed that wasn¡¯t the case. Therefore, everyone was happy to see that. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you guys!¡± Chen Hao was surprised to see his middle school ssmates, including Wang Xue who was once close to him. ¡°What? Are you afraid that we¡¯ll see you working here? I know, you must be feeling embarrassed as you bluffed about starting your own business before this but you ended up helping people to pick up golf balls here! Hahaha!¡± Zhang Ke said sarcastically. While looking at Chen Hao, Wang Xue shook her head. As expected, a person who is hopeless like him, doesn¡¯t have any future at all! ¡°Ke, so you¡¯re here! I was looking for you guys!¡± Right then, a man in a suit looked at Zhang Ke and said while walking toward them. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, honey?¡± ¡°Oh, there¡¯s no one to help us retrieve the golf balls at our course. Can you help me to go to the front desk and ask what the matter is?¡± the man in a suit said. ¡°Huh? You need someone to pick up the golf balls? Haha, honey, you¡¯ve found the right person! Look, this loser, who was once my student, is here to pick up golf balls. Ask him to do that!¡± ¡°Him?¡± The man then nodded his head. ¡°Alright then,e with me!¡± Chen Hao shook his head in resignation and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m in a rush¡­¡± Chapter 327 The Helicopter Team Chapter 327 The Helicopter Team With that, Chen Hao smiled bitterly and walked to the side. His former ssmates had a deep misunderstanding of him. Of course, there was no reason for Chen Hao to exin himself to them. ¡°What kind of attitude is this?¡± asked Zhang Ke¡¯s husband in a dissatisfied tone. ¡°Hmph! Just ignore him. He is just a loser,¡± said Zhang Ke angrily. However, at this moment, somebody suddenly yelled, ¡°What the f*ck! There are so many helicopters here!¡± ¡°Huh? Where?¡¯ ¡°Oh my god. You¡¯re right. There are at least 36 helicopters here, all lined up in a formation.¡± Everybody was dumbfounded in an instant. The people here mostly came from a wealthy business background, but there were many young people there too. Hence, it was natural for them to be surprised when they witnessed such a grand scene before them. The helicopters had even caught the attention of Zhang Ke and the rest of them. ¡°My dear husband, the helicopters don¡¯t look like they belong to the military,¡± said Zhang Ke in surprise. As for Wang Xue and Chen Chao, they were already dumbfounded. ¡°Of course they don¡¯t. They look like civilian helicopters. However, they are definitely military-grade. In China, I don¡¯t think there are many people who can put up such a grand front,¡± said Zhang Ke¡¯s husband casually. Obviously, Zhang Ke¡¯s husband was knowledgeable. ¡°T-Then¡­ Whose helicopters can they be? I¡¯ll be damned. This is such a grand scene, so they must be here to pick up a top billionaire or something.¡± Li jumped in excitement. She even took out her mobile phone to take a flurry of pictures. It was an exciting day today. ¡°Dear,e take a look quickly. These helicopters look like they are going tond on the course,¡± said thedy who hit the crooked ball just now happily, watching from the sidelines. ¡°Yes, you are right. No wonder the staff came out just now to clear the area. I think some big shot is the guy with a stunned expression. They were rich as well, but not to this extent. This was impossible to achieve! ¡°Excuse me, sir. Do you know which big shot ising here?¡± When Zhang Ke¡¯s husband saw that the couple was having an intense discussion and that they were splendidly dressed, he could tell they weren¡¯t ordinary people at a nce. Hence, he smiled and went up to them to ask them a question. Zhang Ke and the rest of them headed over there as well. ¡°I am not too sure myself. Haha.¡± The guyughed. So, Zhang Ke¡¯s husband simply chatted about the famous and wealthy people in China to make a conversation with them. Chen Chao and the rest of them were in awe. So, this is how sessful people socialized with one another. They could even strike up a conversation with such a simple topic. In short, this was the power ofworking. If they weren¡¯t acquainted with their tutor, Zhang Ke, how could they have the opportunity to attend a high-ss ce such as this? All of them, including Xiao Li, were brimming with pride. On the other hand, the helicopters had alreadynded in a neat formation on the golf course. In that instant, the entire golf course erupted into activity. Even the guests who were originally staying in the hotel also ran out to take a look. ¡°Take a look quickly! Somebody ising down from the helicopter.¡± Tian Long and Di Hu brought along a team of bodyguards and walked down the helicopters. ¡°Oh my god! They are so handsome!¡± Xiao Li shouted excitedly. On the other hand, Wang Xue¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. Obviously, she was mesmerized by their handsome aura. Tian Long, Di Hu and their entourage ignored the onlookers. They put on their sunsses and walked toward Chen Hao. ¡°This¡­¡± Zhang Ke and the rest of them were stunned. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Tian Long and Di Hu shouted. ¡°Oh, you guys came!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Chen¡­ Young Master Chen?¡± Zhang Ke and Xiao Li were stunned when they heard this voice. What was going on here?¡¯ Why did these people address Chen Hao as Young Master Chen? In addition to that, were these helicopters here to pick up Chen Hao? At that moment, not only did they feel like they had eggs on their faces, but Zhang Ke, Xiao Li and Wang Xue, especially, also felt a stabbing pain in their hearts. The pain was unbearable. Did you know how much they looked down upon Chen Hao? So, how could a loser like him bask in this kind of glory? ¡°No way! This is impossible! How can this be possible?¡± said Xiao Li. On the other hand, Chen Hao did not give them a second look as he prepared to leave. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Xiao Li suddenly shouted. ¡°Huh?¡¯ Chen Hao turned his head toward her. ¡°Y-Y-You¡­ Are these helicopters here to pick you up?¡± asked Xiao Li anxiously. ¡°Yes.¡± Chen Hao nodded his head casually. Then, he looked at Wang Xue and Zhang Ke and did not say anything else. Then, with one hand in his pocket, he walked toward the helicopter under the admiring gaze of the crowd. As for the young couple, they were nearly scared out of their wits. Oh my god! What had they done? How could they ask a big shot like him to pick up their balls for them? Oh my god! Chen Hao couldn¡¯t be bothered about them nor their expressions. He did not feel embarrassed at all for showing offpared tost time. The helicopters started their engine and left the scene straightaway under theplicated gaze of Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Wang Xue and Zhang Ke. On the other hand, at Long Shaoyun¡¯s birthday party¡­ Long Shaoyun was outraged because of the incident with Huang Yonghao and Bai Xiaofei. In addition to that, there was that incident with Hou San as well. This made him feel that something fishy was going on today. Because Chen Hao¡¯s men obviously came here to cause trouble. However, why was Chen Hao absent? ¡°I think that Young Master Chen is nning toe here to snatch Qin Ya, your fianc¨¦, away.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, she is so pretty, coupled with the past grudges between the Chen family and the Long family, it¡¯s no wonder why Young Master Chen is causing trouble.¡± There was a heated discussion amongst the crowd. ¡°Shaoyun, w-what should we do?¡± At this moment, Wei Mengjiao came over as well. After all, other than Long Shaoyun, the other person who offended Chen Hao was none other than Wei Mengjiao. Hence, when she saw the scene before her, she was scared as well. Chen Hao treated her well. He even attended her gathering on her ount. Hence, she felt ashamed. However, she did not have a choice as Chen Hao did not have a solid background such as that of the Long family. Of course, she had to help Shaoyun. The crowd remained silent when they saw that the situation had turned awkward. Then, Long Jinnan, a high-level personnel from the Long Group spoke up. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, today is Young Master Long¡¯s birthday. Moreover, Mr. Li came here today to congratte him as well. Hence, this is a joyous asion by itself. Now, I have one more piece of good news to share with you all. We, the Long family, hereby officially announce to buy over Hot Spring Vi and turn it into the foundation of our investment project in Jin Ling. In addition to that, the Long family will show you all how we n to carry out our business arrangements in Jin Ling,¡± Long Jinnan gave Li Zhenguo a casual look and said. ¡°What?!¡± Everybody understood that the Long family had officially started to exact their revenge on the Chen family for the humiliation that Chen Xiao caused themst time when she chased them out of Jin Ling after giving them a hard time. Since Long Jinnan had the audacity to speak these words under these circumstances, the Long family definitely had the confidence to go up against the Chen family. But what could be giving them that confidence? Just as everybody was teetering on the edge of curiosity, Long Jinnan pped his hands. Immediately, a whirring sound was suddenly heard somewhere in the Vi. Following that, 6 helicopters were seen lifting off from Jin Ling¡¯s Vi. Red banners signifying the Long Group¡¯s project were seen hanging from the helicopters, just like 6 red dragons soaring into the sky. ¡°What?! The Long family sent the family¡¯s Flying Dragon Fleet? I¡¯ll be damned! This helicopter fleet is used by the Master of the Long family, and it is rarely used. The Master of the Long family will only mobilize these 6 helicopters during huge events. Each helicopter is priceless!¡± ¡°No wonder, I did not expect the Long family to have this kind of confidence¡­¡± Chapter 328 The Tables Have Turned Chapter 328 The Tables Have Turned ¡°Wow! Wow!¡± Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Originally, Wei Mengjiao was still worried. However, when she saw the 6 helicopters soaring into the sky with the red banners, she was instantly dumbfounded. Looking at the crowd¡¯s expression, the Long family had finally regained some of their dignity. Long Jinnan only smiled. However, not long after that, everybody was shocked. The 6 extraordinary helicopters started to descend rapidly after a brief lift-off. They did not even have the opportunity to fully unfurl their banners. ¡°Huh? What is happening here?¡± somebody asked in surprise. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned! Guys,e quickly and take a look!¡± somebody shouted and pointed toward the sky. They were shocked when they saw a mass of ck approaching Hot Spring Vi from a distance not far away. It was none other than the 36 helicopters that Chen Hao brought along with him. Each of the helicopters seemed to be more luxurious than the Long family¡¯s 6 helicopters. Moreover, it was 36 helicopters in total. ¡°What is happening here? W-Whose helicopters are those?¡± Everybody stood up. They looked incredulous. No wonder the 6 helicopters that lifted off just nownded back again. Long Jinnan looked bewildered, while Long Shaoyun looked even paler than before, let alone Yang Xia. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned!¡± Yang Xia shouted and leapt onto her feet. After all, the Long family was one of the most powerful families in Yan Jing, and they had a vast amount of wealth. Hence, they could own 6 luxurious helicopters. In addition to that, those helicopters were used to put on a show of extravagance. Yang Xia was lucky enough to sit inside one once. After all, how could the market price of an ordinary helicopterpare to the helicopters that were owned by the Long family? However, she did not expect that she would be able to see helicopters that were more extravagant than the Long family¡¯s helicopters. ¡°Who could it be?¡± Everybody looked shocked. At this moment, only Qin Ya had tears in her eyes. She knew that Chen Hao had arrived. One of the helicoptersnded directly at the vi entrance. The doors were opened and Chen Hao walked down slowly from the helicopter. Moreover, Tian Long, Di Hu and of course, Hou San, came down with him as well. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Some of the people couldn¡¯t help but shout out, ¡°It¡¯s Young Master Chen! Oh my god!¡± Chen Hao smiled casually. Originally, several bodyguards from the Long family were facing off with Chen Hao¡¯s men at the entrance. However, the moment Chen Hao arrived, they moved to the side automatically to evade him. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± Many wealthy businessmen stood up and shouted. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± On the other hand, Qin Ya called his name softly. Chen Hao was surprised that Qin Ya was here. Originally, he came here today to stir up trouble for Long Shaoyun. However, he did not expect Qin Ya to be here. Chen Hao nodded his head and acknowledged her. Then, he walked ahead. The audience became silent in an instant. Today, the strength of the Chen family was demonstratedpletely. They were really powerful. ¡°Young Master Long, move aside. I have something to say.¡± Originally, Young Master Long was sitting in the centermost position of the party. Chen Hao walked over to him and gave him a pat on the shoulder. Then, he made him move aside. Long Shaoyun red at Chen Hao. He had never been treated this way before. Chen Hao even asked him to stand aside in front of his guests. It was obvious that Chen Hao was trying to humiliate him. However, Long Jinnan grabbed Long Shaoyun¡¯s arms and pulled him aside. The situation in front of them was obvious. At least for now, the people from the Long family couldn¡¯t win in a fight against Young Master Chen¡¯s men. On the other hand, Chen Hao nced at Wei Mengjiao, who looked pale, and smiled casually. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, today is Young Master Long¡¯s birthday. I came here today not for any other reason, but to give Young Master Long a birthday present. Of course, this present is also a gift to the Ouyang family, who are present here, and who had a huge misunderstanding of me.¡± ¡°Huh? What birthday present?¡± The crowd was puzzled. The Ouyang family, including Ouyang Ru, was sitting at the side. At this moment, Ouyang Ru was looking at Chen Hao hostilely. However, the Ouyang family remained silent from the beginning. That was because they weren¡¯t the main people that the Chen family wanted to confront. ¡°I believe that everyone here has heard of the misunderstanding between me and Miss Ouyang here, and you are all dying to know what really happened. Now, I shall reveal the truth to you all,¡± said Chen Hao with a smile. The big screen at the venue was controlled directly by Chen Hao¡¯s men. Following that, a video appeared on the screen. It showed a night scene. A car was parked on the bridge above the moat. Long Shaoyun and Wei Mengjiao were seen standing at one end of the bridge. Not long after that, another car appeared. It turned out to be the President of the Jin Ling newspaper ¡°Mengjiao, I am going to leave your cousin, Ouyang Ru, to you. You are in charge of getting Chen Hao and Ouyang Ru together. When you have the opportunity, get them alone in a room together. President Liu, I will leave the scandal exposure job to you. As for the rest of it, you guys don¡¯t have to bother about it anymore. I have my own arrangements. I will make sure that Chen Hao will never be able to clear his name forever.¡± ¡°No problem, Young Master Long.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± The crowd was speechless. Following that, the people in the video talked about other things. Ouyang Ru and the people from the Ouyang family stood up angrily. Ouyang Ru was ring at her own cousin, Wei Mengjiao, coldly. At this moment, Wei Mengjiao looked flushed. On the other hand, Long Shaoyun looked pale. This was a secret, so how was Chen Hao able to find someone to shoot the video in advance? How could this be possible? When Long Shaoyun took a look at the group of people who followed Chen Hao in, he happened to see President Liu amongst them. ¡°Liu Songtao! You!¡± ¡°What do you mean ¡®me¡¯? You are a beast! I have long known that you weren¡¯t a good person.¡± President Liu smiled coldly. He was indeed an experienced person. So, naturally he had to prepare beforehand, let alone if he was coborating with a person like Long Shaoyun. ¡°Long Jinnan, Long Shaoyun and Wei Mengjiao, how dare you?! You nearly cost Miss Ru her honor. The Ouyang family will not leave things just like that. Young Master Chen, we apologize for the misunderstanding back then. Farewell.¡± The people of the Ouyang family stood up immediately and left angrily. Ouyang Ru was taken away as well. ¡°I¡¯ll be damned! It turns out that Young Master Long is such a vile character,¡± said a group of wealthy businessmen. ¡°You must be seeking your demise!¡± Long Shaoyun¡¯s temper red, and he couldn¡¯t help butunch himself at Chen Hao. m! A figure shed before him, and Long Shaoyun was kicked away by Tian Long. He nearly coughed up blood. ¡°By the way, I have another gift here. This time it¡¯s for the rich businessmen here.¡± Chen Hao smiled. Then, the screen switched to another segment. This was obviously secretly filmed by someone lying on the windowsill at night. There were some explicit scenes in the video. Following that, one of the rich businessmen present exploded in anger. He looked at his young and beautiful wife, who was sitting beside him and gave her a p on the face. ¡°Shameless!¡± The reason was obvious. In short, the disgusting things that Long Shaoyun did werepletely revealed today. Even Long Jinnan and the leaders of the Long family looked livid. They were utterly humiliated today. The dignity of the Long family was utterly destroyed by Long Shaoyun. ¡°I want an exnation from the Long family even if it costs me my life today!¡± the rich businessman roared. The rest of the rich businessmen were deeply influenced by the turn of events as they were looking at Long Shaoyun in a hostile manner. ¡°Uncle Nan, save me! I was deceived by somebody. I was deceived!¡± shouted Long Shaoyun in terror. ¡°Shaoyun, I have always thought that you were the most intelligent one out of the three Young Masters in the Long family. You have greatly disappointed everyone. I will report this to the Master,¡± said Long Jinnan as the corners of his mouth started to twitch. ¡°Oh, by the way, this video is for the Long family. It was shot recently, I bet that the Master of the Long family will be d to see this.¡± This time, Hou San spoke up. With that, the scene was cut again. ¡°I am a son-of-a-b*tch!¡± ¡°I am a son-of-a-b*tch!¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Silence ensued. In the video, Long Shaoyun was seen yelling while kowtowing on the ground. Long Jinnan was so angry that his face turned pale in an instant. ¡°Y-Y-You¡­¡± He pointed at Long Shaoyun with trembling fingers. Chapter 329 Qin Ya’s Request Chapter 329 Qin Ya¡¯s Request Yang Xia never expected things would turn out this way. Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to brag. Even if Chen Hao did not show up, she could still put on airs. Unexpectedly, the Long family was driven into the corner. ¡°Hmph! Long Shaoyun, you really are an embarrassment to the Long family. How dare you perform such despicable acts?!¡± p! Unexpectedly, Long Shaoyun, who was already irritated at the moment, gave Yang Xia a p in the face. Yang Xia fell onto the table. ¡°B*tch! I am sick of your bbering. I have tolerated you long enough. Who do you think you are? How dare you lecture me? Let me tell you this, if I acknowledge you as my sister-inw, then you are my sister-inw. However, if I don¡¯t acknowledge you, you are nothing but a dog in the Long family!¡± The corners of Yang Xia¡¯s mouth were bleeding. ¡°Y-You dare to hit me?¡± said Yang Xia as she covered her face. On the other hand, Long Jinnan did not utter a single word when he saw this. The Long family was huge. Hence, just like other big families, coupled with the fact that there were three Young Masters, the distribution of power within the family was aplicated affair. On the other hand, Long Jinnan did not favor any of the three Young Masters. On the contrary, this time the Long family had sent him here to preside over some matters. Although he felt angry when he saw Long Shaoyun¡¯s deeds, his anger stemmed more from the fact that Long Shaoyun had embarrassed the entire Long family. If Long Shaoyun fell out of favor from now on, it happened to coincide with his wishes. As for Yang Xia, she had nothing to do with him. Chen Hao only watched the scene before him calmly. He did not have any affection left for Yang Xia anymore. Moreover, he had stopped ming himself when he saw her as he felt that there was no reason for him to feel guilty because of her anymore. At most, he wished that she would lead a good life, and that she would never enter his life ever again. However, it was obvious that it was hard to get into the good books of rich and powerful families. ¡°F*ck you! The meals you ate and the stuff you used were all provided for by the Long family. If you had listened to me, this incident would not have happened. Everything is your fault!¡± Yang Xia endured another p to her face. She saw that nobody was giving her a helping hand, while her younger sister only stood in the corner in fright. Yang Xia covered her face and looked at Chen Hao. Chen Hao naturally averted his gaze. Fine! I understand! Yang Xia nodded her head viciously. Following that, she cried and ran away. Smash! At this moment, a wine bottle was brought down directly upon Long Shaoyun¡¯s head. Naturally, it was the rich businessman. He had rushed forward to beat up Long Shaoyun. Chen Hao and Li Zhenguo merely looked at each other and smiled. They shook their heads indifferently. Then, they stood at the corner to watch the lively scene before them. ¡°Chen Hao, thank you for today.¡± At this moment, Qin Ya walked toward Chen Hao. ¡°Thank me? What do you have to thank me for?¡± asked Chen Hao with a casual smile. ¡°Thank you for helping me today.¡± ¡°I think you misunderstood. I did not help you today. I merely came here today to clear my name.¡± Chen Hao smiled. Then, he left with his men. Chen Hao knew very well that the fight with the Long family was just beginning. Li Zhenguo told him about the past grievances with the Long family. Now, with his sister gone, the Long family definitely wanted to pay them back for what his sister had done to them in the past. The purchase of Hot Spring Vi and Long Shaoyun¡¯s constant framings were just a warning. Hence, the main reason he came here today was to intimidate them. He wanted to let them know that they should consider his capabilities first before they could think of Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. conquering his territory. Since he had achieved his goals, Chen Hao decided to take his leave. This time, Chen Hao went back to the hotel in a car. Along the way, a car kept following behind Chen Hao. Chen Hao took a look at the rearview mirror and knew who that person was. However, he chose to ignore them. At the entrance of the hotel, the youngdy caught up to Chen Hao just when he was preparing to enter. ¡°Chen Hao, do you really n on ignoring me forever?¡¯ That youngdy was none other than Qin Ya. ¡°There is no reason for us to stay in contact anymore. I don¡¯t think that Long Shaoyun will bother you as well. Isn¡¯t that good news?¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°So, we can¡¯t even be friends anymore?¡± asked Qin Ya. She was unwilling to end things with Chen Hao just like that. The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she was. Chen Hao paused for a moment and remained silent before turning to leave. To be honest, Chen Hao was reluctant to let things end like that as well. After all, Qin Ya was a good person. Furthermore, she treated him well. However, it was precisely because of this that Chen Hao needed to be firm. He would not be a yes-man anymore. ¡°You better stop where you are right now, you jerk!¡± Zhao Tongtong ran angrily toward Chen Hao. ¡°Chen Hao, how can you treat Qin Ya this way? You really are a jerk! Did you know that Qin Ya kept on talking about you in front of us? Indeed, she misunderstood you when you got yourself into trouble this time, but did you know how upset she was back then? Even when she was upset, she went out of her way to find Ouyang Ru in the hopes that Ouyang Ru could forgive you and not pursue this matter any further. Even if the Ouyang family did not agree to it, you cannot treat her like this,¡± said Zhao Tongtong. It was true indeed. Qin Ya did find Ouyang Ru that day after Chen Hao got himself into trouble. However, how could the Ouyang family simply ignore this matter and not pursue it? ¡°Apart from that, did you know that there were rumors circting in Jin Ling City that Qin Ya is your girlfriend and that you went to Long Shaoyun¡¯s birthday party to cause trouble for him because of her? It is true that the rumors don¡¯t affect you much, but have you ever thought about her? What would the Long family and Qin family think about this? What do you want her to do about it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, Tongtong. Don¡¯t say any more. I understand Chen Hao¡¯s intentions,¡± said Qin Ya. Then, she dried her tears and looked at Chen Hao. ¡°I know that I have some selfish thoughts. However, Chen Hao, I hope that you can help me out onest time. I recalled that you mentioned before back when I was warded in the hospital after the kidnapping, that you would help me out with one thing as long as it was within your power to do so. I want to know whether it still counts?¡± Chen Hao nodded his head and said, ¡°Well, of course it still counts.¡± Chen Hao also recalled that Qin Ya ran away from her marriage in order to look for him. s, after their return to Jin Ling, she fell into the kidnapper¡¯s hands after Chen Hao ignored her. When Qin Ya was warded in the hospital after that incident, Chen Hao told her that he would help her out with one thing as long as it was within his power to do so because he was feeling guilty at that time. At that moment, Qin Ya answered mischievously that she would take his words seriously since he put it that way. Back then, Chen Hao told her that he meant it. In reality, they did not think too much about it back then. However now¡­ ¡°Fine, tell me what you want then. As long as it is within my power, I will help you,¡± said Chen Hao. After all, he had already made her a promise. Moreover, he couldn¡¯t bear to ignore Qin Ya anymore. Hence, he could not find any other reason to reject her request. ¡°Ok, don¡¯t worry. After this task isplete, I won¡¯t bother you again. Furthermore, I will disappear from your sight,¡± said Qin Ya as she bit her lips. ¡°So, what do you want me to do?¡± ¡°I want you to get engaged to me.¡± ¡°Huh? An engagement?¡± Even though Chen Hao had made some mental preparations, the moment he heard this, his eyes widened in surprise. ¡°Haha! You don¡¯t have to be afraid. It is not a real engagement. I just want you to fake an engagement with me so that we can put up a show for the Qin family and the Long family. It should be okay, right?¡± said Qin Ya. Chapter 330 Yang Xia’s Hiccup Chapter 330 Yang Xia¡¯s Hup Qin Ya had a simple thought in her mind. If she severed all ties with Chen Hao just like that, as a girl, it would be impossible to get over it. Am I that bad that you wouldn''t even look at me once? On the other hand, if Chen Hao had done something for Qin Ya, she would feel a lot better. This was no scheme however. It was purely the fact that she wanted Chen Hao to do something for her in order to prove that she still had a spot in his heart, and that was enough to satisfy her. In general, that was her thought. Meanwhile, Chen Hao was very conflicted at the moment. In the past, it was one thing to pretend to be her boyfriend as it was not a big deal. As a friend, it was not unusual to help her out. However, faking an engagement was a whole different thing as it put Chen Hao in a tough spot. It was difficult to reject her outright as he had promised Qin Ya to do so. After all, he had no grudges against Qin Ya, coupled with the fact that he remained appreciative and somewhat guilty toward her. ¡°Haha, it''s just a fake engagement. I don''t need you to do anything more than that. It would at most take up a day of your time. Can¡¯t you at least fulfill this wish of mine? Like I said, as long as you help me out this time, I would no longer bother you in the future!¡± Qin Ya said with tears in her eyes. ¡°Well¡­ Alright!¡± After thinking it through, Chen Hao eventually nodded. Chen Hao said, ¡°However, I have a condition!¡± Qin Ya bit onto her lips and said, ¡°Go ahead!¡± ¡°It cannot be disclosed to the public and this news can only be within the Qin Family of Yan Jing.¡± Chen Hao had his own concerns as well. After all, how could such things be publicly announced? ¡°I promise you!¡± Qin Ya took a deep breath and with an ice-cold look, she said, ¡°Young Master Chen, then I shall not bother you anymore. As for the time, I shall go back and make arrangements for tomorrow!¡± Qin Ya then left with Zhao Tongtong. Upon returning to the hotel, Chen Haoid down on the bed and decided to rest as it had been a rather tiring day. Just then, somebody knocked on the door. Chen Hao got up and opened the door. ¡°My grandson!¡± ¡°Mr. Qin, why are you here again?¡± Chen Hao could only smile helplessly. The old man was none other than the old beggar he had helped out in the past. Mr. Qin had also actually saved him once previously. Therefore, Chen Hao was exceptionally kind toward him as well. Not only did Chen Hao agree to help send him back to his hometown in Chengdu, he also ordered his henchmen to give Mr. Qin a sum of money as well as taking care of him. Of course, Chen Hao eventually found out his name after spending time together. He said his name was Qin Yifan which sounded rather manly. To be honest, Chen Hao felt that Mr. Qin might be a little muddled due to his old age. Thus, Chen Hao was also unsure which parts of his words were true and which parts were not. It was a little pitiful as well. To Chen Hao¡¯s surprise, the old man had not left. Furthermore, Mr. Qin was unpredictable and for some reason, he could always urately pinpoint Chen Hao¡¯s location. Mr. Qin smiled and said, ¡°You promised me that you would bring me along!¡± ¡°I¡­ Alright. However, I would only make a move to Chengdu one or two dayster!¡± Mr. Qin then smiled and said, ¡°That''s okay, I can wait for you. Hehe, don''t think of me as a burden. Who knows, I might be of help to you instead!¡± ¡°Alright, alright, I understand. Thank you Mr. Qin. Oh right, you should return and take a rest first. I will pay for your meals and amodation for these few days!¡± Chen Hao gave a bitter smile and shook his head. ¡°Alright, then I will be waiting for you and we can depart in the next few days!¡± Mr. Qin happily left. Of course, Chen Hao did not n to let down Mr Qin. After all, Chen Hao was very thankful for his help over the past two to three times. For instance, that time when Chen Hao was surrounded by the angry mob. If Mr. Qin had not rushed over out of the blue and helped him out by dragging him away, Chen Hao would not be able to imagine the oue of the situation. However, he was already old and a little nonsensical. If he really followed along, he would most probably be a burden to Chen Hao. Not to be rude or anything but Chen Hao really could not bear to trouble him like that! Early in the morning on the next day, Chen Hao received a call from Zhao Tongtong. Of course, it was about the fake engagement with Qin Ya. In order to keep it low-profile, Chen Hao did not even mention this matter to Yonghao, Xiaofei, Li Zhenguo and the rest of them. On Qin Ya¡¯s side, Chen Hao also understood that the news was meant for the Qin Family and Long Family of Yan Jing. Zhao Tongtong said, ¡°Chen Hao, I am downstairs and here to pick you up!¡± The n was also very simple whereby everyone would head over to the hotel and have a meal together. That way, Qin Ya could appease her family. ¡°Alright, I will head down now!¡± Chen Hao said with a bitter smile. When Chen Hao got downstairs, Zhao Tongtong was already waiting there for him. Just as Chen Hao was about to walk over, he saw a car parked next to the hotel. Yang Lu was standing right in front of the car. Once she saw Chen Hao, she quickly ran over to him. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Yang Lu snorted. ¡°Chen Hao! I came over to look for you but your bodyguards wouldn''t let me in! Hmph!¡± Of course, Chen Hao¡¯s bodyguards knew about the presence of Yang Xia and Yang Lu. Thus, it made sense that they would stop Yang Lu from going in despite her talking her head off. The bodyguards did not even ry the message to Chen Hao. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± With panic all over her face, Yang Lu said, ¡°Hurry up and save my sister! She wants to swallow pills andmit suicide! She has been causing thismotion sincest night and my advice is not working. The only one that could help her is you!¡± Chen Hao gave a bitter smile and said, ¡°Oh, then let her be. How am I supposed to advise her?¡± Yang Lu snorted and said, ¡°You are so ungrateful! Do you know why my sister did those things? It was all just to get your attention! Furthermore, do you know why Long Shaoyun beat my sister at his party yesterday?¡± Yang Lu continued saying, ¡°That was because Long Shaoyun asked my sister to ask you out as he was up to no good. In the end, my sister did not agree to it, yet you¡¯re being so ungrateful. Now that my sister is suffering from shock and something bad is about to happen to her, you don''t care at all!¡± ¡°Like I said, she has nothing to do with me anymore. By the way, help me pass a message to her. She can do anything she wants but don''t bring trouble to my vi!¡± Chen Hao finished talking and gave a cold smile as he got ready to leave. Yang Lu shouted, ¡°Y-Y-You! You bastard! Chen Hao, you are a savage animal! You rather rush over to be engaged and choose not to care about my sister''s life!¡± ¡°Haha, who told you I am going to be engaged?¡± Yang Lu said, ¡°Stop pretending. The Long Family found out about it and had no choice but to ept that. Yet, you are still trying to lie to me!¡± ¡°I don''t care about what you think, I don''t have time for this!¡± Yesterday, it was rather humiliating for Yang Xia as she got beaten and insulted by Long Shaoyun. In the past, Chen Hao might have pitied her but that was no longer the case. He then left right away with Zhao Tongtong. Yang Lu stomped her feet on the ground and left as well. Meanwhile, in the Cloud Mansion. Ady servant said, ¡°Miss Xia, Miss Lu is back!¡± Yang Xia who was lying down on the couch, stood up and said, ¡°Ah? Is Chen Hao here?¡± ¡°I only saw Miss Lu alone, I didn¡¯t see Young Master Chen!¡± ¡°Hmph! How is that possible?¡± Yang Xia snorted and said. In a hurry, Yang Xia pushed thedy servant aside and rushed over to the entrance to take a look herself. As expected, Yang Lu came back alone and there was no sign of Chen Hao. With a dejected look, Yang Xia said, ¡°This bastard! Is he really so cruel?¡± Chapter 331 Everything was About Chen Hao Chapter 331 Everything was About Chen Hao Yang Xia had everything nned out. Based on her understanding of Chen Hao, she thought that he would appear if she had mentioned that she was in grave danger. Once he did, she would start crying and appearing as if she wanted tomit suicide. Eventually, he would give in to console her. That way, it would be a good opportunity for her to make things right with Chen Hao. Yang Xia might seem like she hated Chen Hao, but at the end of the day, she only wanted to make him feel regretful. Even if she had captured Chen Hao thest time, Yang Xia would not have actually ordered her henchmen to beat him up. At most, she would mock and question him on how it feels like to fall right back into her hands. Ultimately, she wanted to make Chen Hao feel awful. Yet at the end of the day, Chen Hao did not care about her at all. ¡°Ah, ah, ah! So infuriating!¡± Although the Long Family was powerful, Yang Xia knew very well it was notparable to Chen Hao! Yang Lu said, ¡°Sister, I told him what you ryed to me, yet he still left to get engaged to someone else!¡± Yang Xia snorted and said, ¡°Hmph! I don''t believe this, I don''t believe this! Is he really getting engaged with Qin Ya? I don''t believe it!¡± Yang Xia panicked. As a matter of fact, since she found out about this newsst night, she started being worried. After all, since the Qin Family of Yan Jing found out about the knews, it would not be unusual for the Long Family of Yan Jing to find out about it as well. Then, it would not take long for the Long Family to find out that Yang Xia had known about the news. Bang! Yang Xia smashed a vase hard against the floor and it broke into pieces. She then sat back down on Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. the couch and kept quiet. In the meantime, at Jin Ling Airport. ¡°Wow, Jin Ling City is so beautiful! It is a lot more beautiful than Hong Kong, haha!¡± ¡°Exactly, luckily we decided toe along. Oh right, Tongxin, you have to ask your boyfriend to bring us around and explore the city! We only have a few days of holiday and we chose to follow you to visit Jin Ling City instead of heading back home. You cannot let us down!¡± The few girls walked out of the airport while dragging onto their luggages. They were excited and happily talking to each other. ¡°Oh yeah, Tongxin, you told me that your boyfriend was very capable. Why didn''t you ask him toe by and pick us up?¡± The girl who had been excitedly talking all this while was a cute girl with a mushroom haircut. Her style was leaning toward the cute side. She had a chubby round face as well. Out of the six girls, she was the one that was the most innocent and looked the cutest. Another girl who had waist-length hairughed and said, ¡°Ah, haven''t you heard from Tongxin that her boyfriend was a simple guy? He is straightforward and doesn''t know how to be romantic. There is nothing wrong with dating a simple guy, but he should at least know how to n surprises and be romantic! Otherwise, how would it be possible for the rtionship tost? Hence, our Tongxin ns to give Chen Hao a surprise!¡± The cute girlughed and said, ¡°Oh, I understand. I remember not long ago on Chen Hao¡¯s birthday, Tongxin even called him on purpose to inform him that she had a few days of holiday. At the same time, she also told him that she might be busy and wasn¡¯t sure whether she would have time toe back. In the end, Chen Hao told her that he would drop by to visit Tongxin next time instead. Gosh, I was at a loss for words! Tongxin already hinted that she had a few days of holiday, yet he didn''t know how to take the initiative and ask! Haha!¡± Another girl also said, ¡°Exactly! Only Tongxin could have kept it in and not told Chen Hao about it. If I was her, I would rather not bring up the few days of holiday. That way, I could straight away surprise him when I get back. However,e to think of it, a simple guy would only be even simpler in the future if he is not guided properly!¡± Su Tongxin heard their discussions and it sounded weird. Why would they have such a variety of thoughts and ideas? The only reason I brought it up at that time was to see how Chen Hao would react. Oh well, nothing has changed. He¡¯s still as straightforward as he used to be. However, Su Tongxin had long yearned toe back home and give Chen Hao a surprise. After all, Chen Hao was no longer the guy he used to be. In order to be the girl supporting him from the shadows, she had to put in extra effort to make things easier for him and sustain the rtionship. The other girl hugging onto her shoulders said, ¡°I think Tongxin was exaggerating about it. She told us that her boyfriend¡¯s very powerful in Jin Ling City but I could not find any news about Chen Hao on the inte at all!¡± The six of them were all interns at a television station in Hong Kong. They were also dorm mates. They had organized this vacation together. The girl who sounded like sour grapes was Wu Wenwen. She bore a simr figure to Su Tongxin. Frankly, in terms of looks, she was slightlyckingpared to Su Tongxin. If there was a beauty contest in the Hong Kong television station, Su Tongxin would undoubtedly be crowned the prettiest girl there; Wu Wenwen would barely make the cut for second ce. They also lived in the same dorm and spent a lot of time working and studying together. Eventually, as girls, some form of jealousy could not be avoided. It was not to the extent of hatred but it was more of trying to bring you down and feeling good about it. ¡°Wenwen, don''t say that. Tongxin is not that kind of person! Look at how crazy she is about Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Exactly, Wenwen, take a look at our television station. The amount of guys chasing after Tongxin is ridiculous. However, Tongxin adamantly rejected them outright as the only person on her mind is Chen Hao, the simple guy! Based on that alone, Tongxin is a great girlfriend!¡± Two of the girls voiced out their opinions. ¡°Hmph!¡± Wu Wenwen snorted and kept quiet. Indeed, that was another source of Wu Wenwen¡¯s jealousy. Everyone understood that as a girl living outside on her own, it was amon urrence that she would flirt around with other guys even if she was attached. Wu Wenwen was also in a long distance rtionship with her boyfriend. However, she would not reject or ept any of the guys who chased after her. Instead, she would leave them hanging. Su Tongxin, on the other hand, was vastly different! No matter how sincere the guys were, Su Tongxin only had one reply for them. She would voice out her apologies and that she had a boyfriend! That made Wu Wenwen feel that Su Tongxin was close to being perfect as a person! Wu Wenwen snorted and said, ¡°Fine! I shall keep quiet then. Tongxin, what''s your arrangement for our amodation?¡± Su Tongxin said, ¡°There are not enough rooms in my house. How about this, I have a good ce to go. We could head over to Chen Hao¡¯s house to stay as he has a big house and ample rooms!¡± ¡°Hahaha, I think it''s more like you want to meet Chen Hao as soon as possible. The first thing on your mind is not to head back to your house but to head over to Chen Hao¡¯s house. Alright then, since staying in a hotel would not be as interesting, why don¡¯t we apany Tongxin and head over to meet Chen Hao!¡± Everyone voiced out their opinions. Then, they called for a cab and left excitedly toward the Cloud Mansion. Su Mengmeng, the cute looking girl, said, ¡°Wow! Take a look at this! This¡­ Such a luxurious vi and it''s built on the top of the mountain. It feels like we are above the clouds. Tongxin, is this Chen Hao¡¯s house that you were talking about? Are we going to stay here?¡± At first, they were already very excited when they heard the cab driver mentioned that the Cloud Mansion cost somewhere around 800 million. They did not expect to be even more surprised when they arrived. On the other hand, Wu Wenwen was filled with jealousy. It turned out that Su Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend really was a capable rich heir. How is she so lucky! ¡°Let¡¯s head there together!¡± Su Tongxin held onto her friends¡¯ hands and walked toward the mansion. As they arrived in front of the entrance, Su Tongxin felt rather anxious. After all, she had not met Chen Hao for three months. What if he is at home? Su Tongxin had keys to the mansion but she still pressed on the doorbell. Ding dong! Following that was the ringing sound of the doorbell. As the sound of footsteps got closer to the door, Su Tongxin got even more nervous¡­ Chapter 332 Yang Xia’s Scheme Chapter 332 Yang Xia¡¯s Scheme ¡°Who''s there?¡± The person that opened the door was ady servant. Thedy servant was shocked to see Su Tongxin. What a beautiful girl indeed! Thedy servant asked, ¡°W-Who are you looking for?¡± Su Tongxin smiled and said, ¡°Is Chen Hao home? I am looking for him!¡± ¡°Hong, who is that?¡± Yang Xia¡¯s annoyed voice could be heard. Thedy servant said, ¡°Miss Xia, the person here is looking for Chen Hao!¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Yang Xia walked over to the entrance. She was shocked when she saw Su Tongxin. Of course, Su Tongxin was also surprised to see Yang Xia. ¡°Su Tongxin!¡± ¡°Yang Xia!¡± Both of them simultaneously called out each other¡¯s name. Su Tongxin obviously knew Yang Xia, as she was Chen Hao¡¯s ex girlfriend. At the same time, how would Yang Xia not recognize Su Tongxin. As a matter of fact, the only reason Yang Xia was certain that the things she heard about Chen Hao and Qin Ya were only rumors was because Yang Xia knew Chen Hao had a girlfriend. Hmph, damn it! Yang Xia also knew that Chen Hao really loved Su Tongxin, or at the very least, that was the casest time. Hence, Yang Xia was very shocked when she heard that Chen Hao was getting engaged with Qin Ya. It looked like Chen Hao had already broken up with Su Tongxin. After all, Yang Xia was clear that Chen Hao was not the kind of guy to have an affair. On the contrary, Chen Hao was a person that was very loyal and serious in a rtionship. Only then would Chen Hao get engaged to Qin Ya. However, since they had broken up, why was Su Tongxin here to look for Chen Hao? Damn! Could it be that she has the same idea as I do and is also attempting to get back together with him? Then wouldn''t I have a much strongerpetitor than Qin Ya? After all, Su Tongxin was exceptionally beautiful. She could notpete with the both of them at all. The only y she had was to invoke old feelings between them. Other than that, there was nothing else she could do. No way! I must make her leave! Yang Xia made up her mind on the spot. Su Tongxin frowned and asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Yang Xia said, ¡°Of course I am here! Haha, I have gotten back together with Chen Hao. Not only that, I¡¯m currently pregnant and I am being taken care of here!¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Su Tongxin¡¯s face turned pale from shock. Then again, if Yang Xia was spouting nonsense, why is she living in Chen Hao¡¯s home? Yang Xia rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Whatever, we are getting married soon anyway. How about you? What are you doing here? You can give up on whatever thoughts you have already!¡± At that moment, Su Mengmeng could not contain her anger anymore and said, ¡°Tongxin, what is going on? Who is she?¡± ¡°She is Chen Hao¡¯s ex-girlfriend!¡± Su Tongxin burst out in tears and cried out. ¡°F*ck! This bastard!¡± Su Tongxin¡¯s friends all knew what was going on. Su Mengmeng red at Yang Xia and said, ¡°Tongxin, let''s go! There is no point crying over this kind of person!¡± Su Mengmeng continued saying, ¡°Chen Hao had been lying to you all along. He was talking to you over the phone and staying in contact with you while getting married with someone else on the side! Guys are really all as*holes!¡± Su Tongxin took a deep breath and said, ¡°I am going to give Chen Hao a call now. I need him to personally tell me what is going on!¡± Upon saying that, Su Tongxin took out the keys to the Cloud Mansion and threw it in front of Yang Xia. Yang Xia was also dumbfounded. What the hell? Looks like Chen Hao hasn¡¯t broken up with Su Tongxin and the both of them were still dating. What is going on? Is Chen Hao a bastard who cheats now? On the other hand, Su Tongxin called Chen Hao numerous times, yet nobody picked up. ¡°Why is he not picking up?¡± Su Tongxin panicked and said, ¡°In the past, he always picked up my phone calls in an instant!¡± Yang Xia finally could confirm that Chen Hao was having an affair and had been keeping it a secret from Su Tongxin. Hahaha! Suddenly, an idea crossed Yang Xia¡¯s mind. Yang Xia saw that Su Tongxin was about to leave, so she quickly shouted, ¡°Tongxin, wait a minute!¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Su Mengmeng snapped. Yang Xia bit onto her lips and with tears in her eyes, she said, ¡°Tongxin, we have never had a conversation before but I know you are a nice girl. The only reason I said those things just now was because I could not bring myself to tell you the truth. You would be extremely disappointed!¡± Su Mengmeng said, ¡°Haha, nice try in shedding crocodile tears. Tongxin, don''t listen to her!¡± ¡°Tongxin, do you think things are actually going well for me? Yes, I am living in the Cloud Mansion now as well as living a wealthy and luxurious life. However, do you have any idea how much of an as*hole Chen Hao is? He told me that he would never get back together with me even if I had his kid! Yang Xia continued saying, ¡°Not only that, Tongxin, I¡¯ll let you in on a big secret!¡± Su Tongxin asked, ¡°What secret?¡± Yang Xia lowered her voice and whispered, ¡°Turns out that Chen Hao is Young Master Chen of Jin Ling City and is extremely wealthy! He only told me this after I was pregnant with his child. Do you know that?¡± Su Tongxin looked at Yang Xia and nodded as she somewhat believed what Yang Xia said. Back then, Chen Hao did say that his identity was not to be exposed. But now, Yang Xia knows about it and in addition to the fact that she is living in the Cloud Mansion, Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. things are not looking good. ¡°Oh right, since you knew how to get here, you must have known about Chen Hao¡¯s identity already! Yes, he is no longer the person he used to be. He became extremely wealthy and rich guys usually turn evil. Now that I am pregnant with his child, all I want is to have a second chance with him. However, it is impossible because he is already dating another girl!¡± Yang Xia began to cry. ¡°Another girl?¡± Su Tongxin was so upset that she barely had the energy to speak. Yang Xia cried out, ¡°Yes, if Chen Hao is willing to be with other girls, I would give up on him as well. However, on one hand, he lies to try and keep me by his side but on the other, he goes around dating others. Today is the day of his engagement with the other girl! I don''t dare to stop him because he would beat me up!¡± Su Tongxin felt as if she had been struck by lightning. ¡°Where is he getting engaged? I am going to look for him!¡± Su Tongxin said coldly. ¡°He is at ¡­¡± Yang Xia told Su Tongxin about the location of the engagement. At first, she had ns to go and mess up the engagement herself. However, she knew that her presence would only make things worse. Therefore, she dismissed the idea and headed back to her room to sleep. She did not expect that Su Tongxin would show up all of a sudden. What a coincidence! ¡°However, you have to promise me that you would not rat me out. Otherwise, he would beat me to death!¡± ¡°I understand!¡± Upon saying that, Su Tongxin left with her group of friends. On the way there, Su Tongxin was still in disbelief. She was always confident about Chen Hao¡¯s character as well as her own intuition. Of course she was not going to misunderstand Chen Hao just from Yang Xia¡¯s one-sided statement. Therefore, she wanted to personally take a look and find out if Yang Xia was telling the truth. Wu Wenwen snorted and said, ¡°What a joke! You treated him like a piece of treasure, yet you never had a ce in his heart!¡± Su Mengmeng said, ¡°That¡¯s enough, Wenwen. Tongxin¡¯s feelings are already jumbled up right now, can you stop talking about it?¡± After some time, the driver stopped his car in front of a hotel entrance. ¡°Tongxin, this should be the ce!¡± Chapter 333 A Huge Misunderstanding Chapter 333 A Huge Misunderstanding Meanwhile at Chen Hao¡¯s side, the act he put up with Qin Ya wasing to an end as well. As for Qin Ya, they were supposed to lie to her parents. Chen Hao felt too awkward to continue acting, so he made up some excuses to leave. ¡°Mom, dad, I will send him off. You guys should continue on!¡± Qin Ya held onto Chen Hao''s arm intimately as the both of them walked out together. When they reached the entrance of the hotel, Chen Hao finally said, ¡°Give me back my phone!¡± Just now, Chen Hao was too busy scrolling on his phone. So, to make it seem like both of them were very close, Qin Ya confiscated Chen Hao¡¯s phone. She told him to stop ying with his phone and engage more in conversations with the family. Chen Hao did not say much about it. What happened next was just casual chatting and eating. Nothing much went on during the meet. ¡°What¡¯s with your tone?¡± Qin Yained while holding onto Chen Hao¡¯s arm as she handed him his phone. ¡°Why did you turn off my phone?¡± Chen Hao questioned while trying to withdraw his arm from her grasp. However, Qin Ya refused to let go. Stubbornness and unwillingness stered all over her face. Although Chen Hao and her would be nothing more than friends from today onward, Qin Ya was still unwilling to let go of him! As for Chen Hao, he didn¡¯t want to continue misleading her any longer. So, he was determined to end it. ¡°I won¡¯t let go!¡± Qin Ya refused. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Suddenly, he heard someone calling him from his side. Looking at the direction of the voice, Chen Hao immediately tensed. ¡°Tongxin? W-W-When did youe back?¡± Chen Hao felt dread settled into his stomach. Seeing Su Tongxin made him surprised and happy. However, Chen Hao felt awkward that she had to see what he was doing right now. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Su Tongxin pinched her palms hard, hoping that the pain from it would stop her tears from falling. Su Mengmeng and the others red at Chen Hao in anger. When they were on the way, all of them were still assuring Su Tongxin that Chen Hao wasn¡¯t like that. They even asked Su Tongxin to put her trust in Chen Hao. After all, they had always eavesdropped whenever Chen Hao called Su Tongxin. Chen Hao sounded like a modest man, unlike other rich young masters who always flirted around. However, Su Mengmeng and the others were shocked by what they had witnessed. They couldn¡¯t believe that Chen Hao would do this! ¡°Tongxin, this is a misunderstanding!¡± Chen Hao immediately pulled his arms free from Qin Ya¡¯s hold. ¡°I heard from another person that you¡¯re going to be engaged with someone else today? Is that true?¡± Su Tongxin used. ¡°No! Please listen to my exnations!¡± Chen Hao was anxious too. If his rtionship with Tongxin was affected because of this issue, he would regret it immensely. ¡°She¡¯s Su Tongxin?¡± Qin Ya was speechless too. Indeed, Su Tongxin¡¯s arrival was unexpected. Qin Ya took the chance to size up Su Tongxin. She was really pretty and mesmerizing. Now she knew why Chen Hao was so attracted to her. She stared at Su Tongxin with envy in her eyes. Meanwhile, Su Tongxin was already hysterical. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯ve really disappointed me this time! I don¡¯t want to ever see you again!¡± After saying that, Su Tongxin pushed Chen Hao harshly. Then, she turned around and ran with her hand covering her mouth. ¡°What an a**hole! You¡¯re disgusting. So what if you¡¯re rich?!¡± Even Wu Wenwen couldn¡¯t help but scold Chen Hao for Su Tongxin. After all, they were both girls. Naturally, they faced the same enemies when it came to jerks. Chen Hao was so anxious that his face turned as pale as a sheet. He didn¡¯t even have time toprehend why Su Tongxin was here. He immediately rushed to catch up with her. Qin Ya felt many emotions at once including anger as she turned around and went back home. Chen Hao took a cab to Su Tongxin¡¯s house and stood outside her front door. At the moment, all of Su Tongxin¡¯s friends were with her in her room on the second floor. When Su Mengmeng pulled the curtain aside, she looked down and saw Chen Hao standing outside. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°Tongxin, don¡¯t cry anymore. At least the guy still has his conscience. Look, he rushed over! He¡¯s standing at your front door right now!¡± Su Tongxin was hugging her knees to herself as she bawled on her bed, ¡°Ask him to leave. I don¡¯t want to see him anymore!¡± The girls looked at each other. Although they were angry, they pitied Tongxin at the same time. Indeed. All Su Tongxin thought about was Chen Hao. The thing she wanted to do when she came back was also to find Chen Hao. However, this was what she received instead. ¡°Hmph! I will go down and make it clear to him!¡± Su Mengmeng snapped and went downstairs. ¡°So, you¡¯re the a**hole Chen Hao?¡± Su Mengmeng asked coldly with her hands on her hips. ¡°Yes, I am. Is Tongxin okay? What happened just now was a misunderstanding!¡± Chen Hao hurried to exin. ¡°Misunderstanding? All of us clearly saw the girl clinging onto your arm. You still call that a misunderstanding? Are you saying that your engagement was fake too?¡± Su Mengmeng used. ¡°You¡¯re Tongxin¡¯s colleague in Hong Kong, right? This whole thing was really just for show! Can you help me advise Tongxin and talk to her about it?¡± ¡°Why would I do that for you? I don¡¯t even know if you are lying or not. I¡¯ve seen many dirty tricks like these from guys like you. I know what you guys are thinking!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care if you¡¯re lying or not. But Chen Hao, do you know how good Tongxin is to you? Tongxin is a pretty girl and many guys will kill to be with her. Even at our station, she has guys fawning over her too. Do you know how loyal she is?¡± ¡°Because of you, she always stayed low-key. Whenever she received special attention from the guys, she would always reject their pursuit without even considering them!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure you know that, with the both of you in a long distance rtionship, if Tongxin decides to date someone behind your back, you¡¯ll never know about it anyway. However, she had never done anything like that. She has always kept her distance with the guys at the station. Do you know that she doesn''t even have any guy friends at all?!¡± Su Mengmeng snapped. Yes, she could have avoided telling all of that to Chen Hao. But why would she do that? She felt unjust for Su Tongxin. ¡°I know! I really do!¡± Chen Hao nodded earnestly. Of course Chen Hao knew how Su Tongxin felt toward him. However, he still couldn¡¯t help but feel touched when he heard it. Immediately, he felt remorseful. Yeah, Tongxin was always loyal toward him. However, he had really gone overboard trying to help his friends. Moreover, it had gotten beyond measure each time. If Su Tongxin could avoid having guy friends for him, why couldn¡¯t he do the same for her? Chen Hao felt the guilt inside gnawing at him. Now, he just wished that Su Tongxin would listen to his exnations and forgive him. ¡°But, it was actually a fake engagement. The girl from earlier is just a friend of mine¡­¡± Then, Chen Hao started telling her about the whole situation. Su Mengmeng stared into Chen Hao¡¯s eyes the whole time he was exining and came to realize that he really wasn¡¯t lying. Is he actually for real? ¡°This isn¡¯t right. There¡¯s still something else. I would love to see how you¡¯ll exin that!¡± Chapter 334 Something Happened to Su Ziyue Chapter 334 Something Happened to Su Ziyue ¡°What? You¡¯re saying that you lend your house to that girl?¡± Chen Hao exined to Su Mengmeng about Yang Xia. However, in regards to Yang Xia being pregnant, Chen Hao wasn¡¯t sure about that. Then again, it wasn¡¯t that hard to imagine since Yang Xia had bad intentions in the first ce. He would deal with this matter next time. Now, Chen Hao just wanted to resolve the misunderstanding between him and Su Tongxin. ¡°Okay, okay. Since you look like you¡¯re not lying, I¡¯ll try my best to talk to her. You¡¯d better not be lying though. Do you know that Tongxin hates liars the most?¡± Through the simple exchange, Su Mengmeng also found out that Chen Hao wasn''t heartless like other rich guys. Plus, he gave off an easy-going vibe. If he really did not do it, of course Su Mengmeng was willing to help him. Thus, Chen Hao continued waiting downstairs while Su Mengmeng headed back upstairs. However, she rushed out again in no time. ¡°Sigh, Chen Hao, I don¡¯t think I can help you. Tongxin wouldn¡¯t budge and she doesn¡¯t want to see you either. You¡¯ve really hurt her badly this time. Maybe you should just go¡­¡± Su Mengmeng exined the situation and went back in. Sigh! Chen Hao felt absolutely awful. He had yearned for Su Tongxin to be back. However, when she was finally back, this happened. At this moment, Chen Hao¡¯s phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from Su Ziyue. ¡°Ziyue, what is it?¡± Chen Hao smiled warmly. He had always treated Su Ziyue as if she was his own sister. ¡°Young Master Chen, I¡¯m not Ziyue. I¡¯m Wei Lin, her colleague. We metst time!¡± The girl in the phone call said. Her tone sounded anxious, like something had happened. ¡°I remember you. What is it?¡± Chen Hao hurried to ask. ¡°It¡¯s Ziyue! Something happened to Ziyue! She has been admitted to the hospital!¡± Wei Lin spilled. ¡°What?!¡± Chen Hao was stunned. He nced toward Su Tongxin¡¯s room upstairs. Initially, he wanted to shout to let Su Tongxin know that he was leaving. However, he didn¡¯t want to bother her. After all, she was still pissed off with him. He would get back to her after settling Ziyue¡¯s situation. Chen Hao stayed on the phone with Wei Lin on the way out. ¡°What happened exactly? Can you exin more?¡± Wei Lin exined, ¡°She was still fine at noon. But during the afternoon ss, she suddenlyined that she wasn¡¯t feeling well. Initially, I thought she had the flu and gave her some warm water. However, I did not expect that she¡¯d faint! So, I took her to the hospital. She¡¯s awake now, but she¡¯s still in a weak condition.¡± ¡°How could this happen?¡± Chen Hao was very worried. He immediately hailed a cab and rushed to the hospital after getting the details from Wei Lin. ¡°Mengmeng, what did that loser say?¡± A few girls asked when they saw Mengmenging up. ¡°He didn¡¯t say much. But, from the looks of it, he will wait until Tongxin is willing to see him!¡± ¡°Huh? Could he be that devoted? I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Wu Wenwen taunted andughed coldly. She walked over to the windows to open the curtains and took a look downstairs. However, she ended up seeing Chen Hao leaving in a cab. ¡°Hmph! I¡¯ve said so didn¡¯t I? I knew he couldn¡¯t do it. How long has it only been? He already left in a cab. Tongxin, look!¡± Wu Wenwen pointed outside and said. Su Tongxin nced outside the window. When she saw that Chen Hao really left, she wed at her bedsheets in exasperation. Indeed, she was really pissed off and didn¡¯t want to hear his exnations. But, how could Su Tongxin not want Chen Hao¡¯s exnations for real? Even if he didn¡¯t want to exin, he could have waited downstairs longer to show that he was still loyal toward her. But now? In an instant, Su Tongxin felt incredibly heartbroken. At this moment, Chen Hao had already arrived at the hospital. He was met with a weak Su Ziyue who looked as pale as a sheet in the hospital ward. Fortunately, Su Ziyue was already awake. ¡°How are you feeling?¡± Chen Hao went over to her bed and greeted her. ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened. Suddenly I felt as though my blood was draining away. Then, I slowly lost consciousness¡­¡± Su Ziyue murmured softly. ¡°What did the doctors say?¡± ¡°They are worried. A few of the doctors are still discussing. They couldn¡¯t pinpoint the exact cause of her sickness. Hence, they are hesitant to proceed with any treatments,¡± Wei Lin answered instead. Su Ziyue¡¯s eye rims turned red. After all, she was afraid. Although she had always been strong, in a situation like this however, being terrified was an understatement. ¡°I get it now!¡± Chen Hao nodded and looked at Su Ziyue with pity. He went out immediately and gave Tian Long and Di Hu a call, asking for them to bring the professional medical team from the base camp. Naturally, Tian Long and Di Hu would not dy carrying out his orders. In no time, the professional medical team arrived. Each and every one of them was reputable. Hence, the hospital extended their full support. After around two hours for the examination, the team went over to Chen Hao. All of them looked dejected at that moment. ¡°Young Master Chen, Miss Su¡¯s symptoms are extremely rare. Well, at least I have nevere across them. Although we have tried both western and traditional chinese approaches, we can¡¯t seem to find the cause of her sickness!¡± They shook their heads. ¡°What? Even you guys can¡¯t do anything about it?¡± Chen Hao was disappointed from what he heard. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, young master. However, you could try dispatching the medical team under your family. After all, their skills are even finer than ours!¡± the head of the chinese medical practitioners said apologetically. ¡°Alright, I understand! You guys may take your leave now!¡± Chen Hao nodded. He had always been best friends with Ziyue. Although he still hasn''t made sure of his connection with her, he had already treated her as if she was his own sister. Therefore, Chen Hao couldn¡¯t ignore her when she needed help. ¡°Wei Lin, could you please take care of Ziyue for me? I will look for more ways to help her!¡± Chen Hao requested. ¡°Okay, Young Master Chen!¡± Then, Chen Hao decided to look for Li Zhenguo and the others back at the hotel. He wanted Li Zhenguo to look for more reputable doctors working under his family. He needed to call his dad to inform him about it as well. However, he was met with someone squatting in front of his hotel room. The man was hugging a gunny sack with what looked like nkets inside. This man was none other than Qin Yifan. ¡°Hey grandson, where are you going? I thought we will be leaving today?¡± Qin Yifan chuckled happily when he saw Chen Hao and walked over with his gunny sack. Chen Hao gave him a look. He really went and stole the hotel¡¯s nket. ¡°Mr. Qin, I don¡¯t have the time to send you home today. I still have a lot to deal with. How about this? If you really want to go, I will send someone over to drive you back to Chengdu,¡± Chen Hao saidExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. impatiently. Chen Hao was really running out of ideas. If anything really happened to Su Ziyue, finding that woman himself wouldn¡¯t feel right. ¡°No way! You promised to send me back yourself!¡± Mr. Qin shook his head. ¡°Fine, then wait for a few more days. Something happened to my best friend so I¡¯m not in the mood to leave just yet!¡± Chen Hao exined. As he was preparing to leave, p! Mr. Qin locked Chen Hao¡¯s shoulder with his hand. ¡°Hm? Something isn¡¯t right. Who did you meet today, grandson?¡± Chapter 335 Mr. Qin’s Magical Hands in Rejuvenation Chapter 335 Mr. Qin¡¯s Magical Hands in Rejuvenation ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Chen Hao was stunned. Chen Hao had no idea what the old man was up to. After all, he looked so old and scrawny. However, when he ced his hand on Chen Hao, his five fingers were as heavy as steel bars and Chen Hao could not budge at all. How could he be so strong! Mr. Qin cheekily smiled and asked, ¡°Nothing much. Let me see, did you meet somebody today? I sense an unusual aura around you.¡± ¡°What unusual aura?¡± Chen Hao saw the old man being so jumpy and mysterious, thus believed that the old man¡¯s senile dementia must be acting up again. Mr. Qin suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, ¡°Gu poison!¡± ¡°The person you came into contact with today is poisoned with Gu poison. Therefore, uponing into contact with that person, your body emits the aura of the Gu worm as well. I can feel it!¡± said Mr. Qin. ¡°Damn! You must have been watching too many Thai movies!¡± Chen Hao was speechless. He got up and decided to leave. However, a second thought crossed his mind. Even though Mr. Qin sounded so mysterious and weird, by the looks of Su Ziyue¡¯s condition, it might be possible since the cause of the disease could not be detected. That would exin a lot. Chen Hao had heard of Gu poisons before, and in simpler terms, it was simr to infections and viruses. These parasites would reside within the human body. Since there is nothing else that I can think of and Mr. Qin sounded like he¡¯s onto something, I might as well give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe he really has a way to treat it. Chen Hao then said, ¡°Since I can''t find a doctor for now, do you think you can check it out?¡± Mr. Qin said, ¡°Of course! I can do anything. Like I said, I am not a beggar and I used to be rather capable back then!¡± ¡°Haha, really? How capable were you?¡± Mr. Qin said, ¡°I can be as capable as you need me to be! If you don''t believe me, let me go ahead and show you!¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there was no other way, Chen Hao would not have wasted his time rambling with this old man. Mr. Qin¡¯s hometown is in the Southwest Region, so he might have an understanding about this disease. Therefore, Chen Hao agreed to let him try and actually brought him to the hospital. As Chen Hao returned to the ward, an old chinese medicine practitioner from his medical team had stayed behind to take care of the patient. At that moment, he was giving Su Ziyue an acupuncture treatment. Many chinese medicine practitioners from other hospitals stood respectfully next to his side as they observed and learned. Tian Long and Di Hu were also present. ¡°What''s the point of taking two useless needles and poking around? They¡¯re not going to be of any use!¡± Chen Hao brought Mr. Qin into the ward. Mr. Qin nced over and sneered. ¡°Who are you? Do you think you are in any position toment about Miracle Doctor Hu? Guards, The deans of the hospitals who stood by the sides snapped. They were instantly infuriated upon hearing what Mr. Qin said. Miracle Doctor Hu had been famous for many years and it was an honor to be able to see him performing his skills. Thus, these younger doctors could not be happier being given this opportunity. How could they possibly withstand such insults thrown at their idol? Even Miracle Doctor Hu frowned. However, because this old man was brought in by Young Master Chen, he had no choice but to keep his anger in. ¡°From what you are saying, I am guessing you know the art of healing as well?¡± Miracle Doctor Hu chuckled and said, ¡°How could you be of such an old age yet spouting nonsense!¡± ¡°Who is spouting nonsense? Shoo, move aside!¡± Mr. Qin pushed Miracle Doctor Hu aside and plucked off the few needles pierced into Su Ziyue¡¯s arm. ¡°Y-Y-You!¡± Miracle Doctor Hu¡¯s face turned red. Mr. Qin said, ¡°What! She is poisoned with Gu poison yet you¡¯re simply piercing needles onto her. You are only elerating the blood flow within her and allowing the parasites to spread throughout her system!¡± Mr. Qin suddenly turned around to face Su Ziyue and asked, ¡°Let me ask you, did these symptoms start appearing when you were eight years old? I am guessing the symptoms back then were just slight dizziness? By the time you were twelve, it happened again, only this time around, the dizziness was much more severe? And by the time you were sixteen, things escted and I¡¯m guessing not only did you feel very dizzy but you also started losing strength in your limbs? Now that you are twenty-two, I¡¯m sure that you must have fainted on the spot!¡± Su Ziyue, who was lying down on the bed, was shocked. ¡°How did you know that?¡± Chen Hao also looked at Mr. Qin with shock. I had no idea this old man has such skills! How could he pinpoint everything so urately? Then again, Chen Hao recalled the very first time he bumped into Mr. Qin. The old man was not so glorious back then and his legs were injured as well. Chen Hao even had to help bring him to the hospital. However, it was not convenient at that time to ask about Mr. Qin¡¯s background. All things aside, it¡¯d be great if he could treat Su Ziyue. ¡°Alright, you are my grandson¡¯s close friend so I will help treat you and remove the parasites!¡± Su Ziyue said, ¡°Thank you old man!¡± Mr. Qin said, ¡°You''re wee. Anyway, the whole lot of you should get out. I am going to use my skills and remove the Gu. Ordinary people are not allowed to view it!¡± Everyone¡¯s gazended on Chen Hao. It goes without saying that if you doubt a person then you should not appoint him. If you appointed a person then you should not doubt him. Hence, Chen Hao trusted Mr. Qin as he was the one who brought him here. Not only that, Mr. Qin sounded so knowledgeable and the dots seemed to connect. Therefore, Chen Hao nodded and the few of them left. Miracle Doctor Hu naturally kept quiet as well. He shook his head, sighed and left. ¡°Wait a minute!¡± Mr. Qin shouted at Miracle Doctor Hu, ¡°I can tell that your skills are decent. You can stay back and help me!¡± Miracle Doctor Hu was in disbelief and said, ¡°You want me to help you?¡± Qin Yifan looked at Chen Hao. Chen Hao then said, ¡°It¡¯s better if you stay behind, Miracle Doctor Hu. That way I¡¯ll feel more at ease!¡± In that case, it would be another form of assurance. After that, Chen Hao walked out of the ward. On the other hand, Tian Long and Di Hu crossed their arms and stared coldly at Qin Yifan. Both of them could not stand such a mysterious and deceiving old man. Furthemore, Miracle Doctor Hu was their colleague and they naturally felt infuriated about how he was bullied by the old man. Therefore, they red at him until the veryst minute before leaving the room. ¡°Pfft! All these needles of yours are quite worthless!¡± Mr. Qin took a look at the needles from Miracle Doctor Hu¡¯s pouch and threw it away. ¡°Y-Y-You¡­ This is too much! Too much!¡± Miracle Doctor Hu was so furious that his hands were trembling. Mr. Qin snorted and said, ¡°Hmph! I am only telling the truth. All these needles of yours are rubbish. If anything, I would have to use Tian Long and Di Hu¡¯s needles. You two, take out your needles and let me use them!¡± Both Tian Long and Di Hu looked awkward and their expression changed. ¡°What! Stop staring at me and stop hiding the needles in your sleeves. I would return them to you all after I am done!¡± Upon saying that, Mr. Qin moved and with a flick of his hand as well as a slight pinch with his fingers, their pouch was already in his hand. Tian Long and Di Hu could not react in time at all. ¡°You!¡± ¡°Brother!¡± Tian Long¡¯s forehead was covered in cold sweat and hurriedly stopped Di Hu who was about to make a move. Tian Long felt that this old man was not how he portrayed himself to be as his movements were way too swift. To the point where it was so fast that Tian Long¡¯s heart thumped. Tian Long had never felt that way before. With a look of disbelief, he nced at Mr. Qin and dragged Di Hu out of the ward. Miracle Doctor Hu sped his hands behind his back and stood aside. He did not believe what kind of capabilities this deceiving old man could have. However, when he saw how skillfully Mr. Qin ced the needles as well as the brilliant techniques used, his lips trembled in shock. ¡°Is that the¡­ Ghost Gate Technique?¡± Chapter 336 Rushing to the Airport Chapter 336 Rushing to the Airport Chen Hao waited anxiously outside the ward. Not long after, he saw Mr. Qin and Miracle Doctor Hu walking out. However, what surprised Chen Hao this time was that Miracle Doctor Hu seemed rather respectful toward Mr. Qin and even came close to supporting Mr. Qin as they walked out. Chen Hao asked, ¡°So how was it?¡± Mr. Qin said, ¡°Hehe, almost done. Go in and have a look yourself!¡± Chen Hao walked in and saw that Su Ziyue¡¯splexion was much better and her face looked rosier. ¡°Chen Hao, don''t worry. Grandfather Qin¡¯s medical skills are really powerful!¡± Su Ziyue said so as she knew that Chen Hao was worried. ¡°That''s great!¡± Chen Hao heaved a sigh of relief. Only then was he at ease. ¡°Mr. Qin, thank you so much!¡± Chen Hao nodded at Qin Yifan and expressed his gratitude. Since he met him, Mr. Qin had helped him out numerous times. Although he was rather annoyed by this old man at the start, Chen Hao had grown to sincerely appreciate his gestures by now. ¡°No big deal, grandson. If there is nothing else, should we make a move?¡± Qin Yifan was referring to the matter of bringing him back to his hometown in Chengdu. As the matter of going to Chengdu was brought up, Chen Hao¡¯s expression turned dull. I still have something else that is yet to be resolved. Tongxin misunderstood me and refused to let me exin as she is still mad. What can I do? ¡°Give me a bit more time, I still have another matter to resolve. After I am done, we can leave!¡± With that, Chen Hao left the room so that Su Ziyue could rest and headed outside to make a phone call. However, despite the numerous calls, Su Tongxin hung up each and every time. Sigh! ¡°Tongxin, pick up. Why are you not picking up? Who knows, he might have changed his mind!¡± Meanwhile, at the Su residence. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Su Mengmeng and the rest sat together and were watching television while having some snacks. Su Mengmeng was in the midst of eating some chips when she saw Su Tongxin angrily hanging up on the phone. And so, she gave her a piece of advice. ¡°I am not going to answer!¡± Su Tongxin threw her phone aside. Ding dong! Just as she was in a fit of pique, the doorbell to her house rang. Su Tongxin jumped up in her seat. Right, since my parents are not home, who else could be dropping by my house now? It must be Chen Hao. No matter how furious Su Tongxin was, she still wanted to meet Chen Hao. However, Su Mengmeng was the one that ended up opening the door. Su Mengmeng opened the door and snorted. ¡°Hmph! Good that you know-Eh? Why are you here?¡± Upon seeing who it was, Su Mengmeng¡¯s expression turned sour. ¡°Is Miss Su Tongxin home? There is something I wish to talk to her about!¡± A crisp and melodious voice of a girl could be heard from outside the door. The girl was none other than Qin Ya. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Naturally, Su Tongxin did not have a favorable impression of Qin Ya. The only feeling she had toward Qin Ya was hatred. Even if Chen Hao had no rtionship with her, why did she put her arms around him? And why must she get engaged with him? Qin Ya said, ¡°Miss Su Tongxin, can we talk in private?¡± Qin Ya felt unsettled when she got home earlier today. Thus, she decided to look for Su Tongxin and clear things up. ¡°Whatever you wanted to talk to me about, you can say it now!¡± Su Tongxin said as the both of them arrived next to a nearby park. Qin Ya said, ¡°I¡¯ll get straight to the point. From my perspective, I would see it as a great thing if you broke up with Chen Hao. I am not going to hide anything from you. In fact, I do like Chen Hao a lot and even chased after him before!¡± Su Tongxin turned her head to the side and kept quiet. Qin Ya continued saying, ¡°Precisely because I like him thus I could tell how loyal he is toward you. I¡¯m being serious here. Since the start, he has never had a change of heart. No matter how nice and loving I was to him, he dismissed all of it. I¡¯m guessing that he would be very upset and saddened if the two of you broke up because of our misunderstanding. He is someone who is very kind and loves to help out others. This time around, he was really just helping me out as a friend! He did not cheat on you at all!¡± Qin Ya lifted her head and looked at Su Tongxin. Then, she started telling Su Tongxin everything that happened between herself and Chen Hao all this while. Su Tongxin had not expected that so many things happened to Chen Hao this whole time. To be honest, Su Tongxin still felt rather jealous that Chen Hao helped Qin Ya out so many times. However, after some thoughts on it, Chen Hao did not do anything wrong. Su Tongxin then asked, ¡°I get what you mean. You¡¯re saying that you have been apanying Chen Hao through many experiences whereas I was not by Chen Hao¡¯s side all this while, is that it?¡± ¡°I don''t mean it that way. However, now that you have brought it up, think about it. What have you done for Chen Hao since you got together with him? Whenever he was faced with problems, where were you?¡± Qin Ya had no other motives but merely wanted to express her inner thoughts and bring everything onto the table. ¡®What have you done for Chen Hao?¡¯ ¡®Whenever he was faced with problems, where were you?¡¯ These two sentences rendered Su Tongxin speechless. Right, I only thought about dating Chen Hao and being together for a long time. However, I never thought about actually doing something for him. He has always been helping me out and taking care of me. Yet, I have not given anything to him. This time around when I got back, I even misunderstood him without having a clear picture of what happened. He must be very busy yet I am constantly being a distraction. Su Tongxin returned home after her conversation with Qin Ya. Throughout the entire afternoon, Su Tongxin stayed solemnly in her room and did not talk to any of her friends at all. Due to that, Su Mengmeng and the rest of them were worried sick. ¡°What''s wrong with Tongxin? Did that girl say something to her? After all, they conversed for more than an hour so something must have happened!¡± Su Mengmeng continued eating her chips and said, ¡°Yes, she has been that way since she got back!¡± ¡°Hmph, let''s go ask her. If there was something that happened, we must go and settle things out with Qin Ya!¡± Her dorm mates all arrived at the door of Su Tongxin¡¯s room. Su Mengmeng said worryingly, ¡°Tongxin, open the door. Open the door for us!¡± Soon after, Su Tongxin opened the door. Everyone was confused when they took a look inside. It was because Su Tongxin had already packed up her luggage. Wu Wenwen asked, ¡°Tongxin, what are you doing? We just got back less than a day, what are you up to?¡± Su Tongxin said, ¡°I know but let''s return to Hong Kong!¡± ¡°What? Right now?¡± Everyone was in shock. ¡°But Tongxin, what about Chen Hao? It wasn''t easy for you to get back to meet and talk to him. I know there is some misunderstanding between you two but I feel that Chen Hao is not the kind of bastard to do such things!¡± With tears in her eyes, Su Tongxin said, ¡°I know that Chen Hao wouldn''t do that but I just want to return to Hong Kong!¡± Throughout the afternoon, Su Tongxin tossed and turned while being deep in thought. Exactly, I did not actually grudge Chen Hao at all. I only wanted him toe and coax me to make me happy. It''s as simple as that. On the other hand, whatever that Qin Ya brought up earlier had crossed Su Tongxin¡¯s mind as well. I can''t do anything for Chen Hao at all. If I stay by his side, I would only be a burden to him. Therefore, Su Tongxin decided that she was going to return to Hong Kong and work hard to prove herself. Only then would the rtionship be stable and strong. Her close friends did not say anything else. They packed their bags in a hurry and left with Su Tongxin. Su Mengmeng was the only odd one out as she secretly took out her phone and sent Chen Hao a message. ¡°Hurry up and head to the airport! Su Tongxin is leaving!¡± Chapter 337 Departure Chapter 337 Departure Chen Hao returned to the ward after bringing Su Ziyue some porridge. He then took out his phone to take a look and saw a text message sent by an unknown number. By the time he finished reading the content of the message, he was startled. Su Tongxin is returning to Hong Kong? I haven''t had time to exin to her yet. Thereafter, he quickly drove to the airport. Along the way, he repeatedly called Su Tongxin as well. However, she did not pick up at all. By the time he arrived at the airport, he saw that the airne had already taken off. Chen Hao panicked and was about to call for his helicopter to chase after the ne. Ding! Just then, he received a text message on his phone. Su Tongxin was the one who sent it. ¡°Chen Hao, I am returning to Hong Kong for now. There are certain things you don''t have to exin to me because I believe you. Previously, I was just jealous and was in a fit of pique. I only wanted you to coax me but I forgot to take your feelings into consideration! Don''te and look for me yet, give me some time! I love you forever and always!¡± Chen Hao panicked and scratched his head after reading the message. What does she mean by that? Why would she say something like this out of the blue? Chen Hao banged his hands onto the steering wheel. After not seeing her for so long, she left before I even had the opportunity to talk to her. By the time Chen Hao returned to the hospital, he was a little gloomy. He couldn''t help passing the message over to Su Ziyue and asked for her opinion. Chen Hao asked, ¡°What does this message mean? Is Su Tongxin breaking up with me or what?¡± Su Ziyue startedughing then. ¡°Of course she''s not breaking up with you. Can''t you see that she was worried that you would overthink? That''s why she added the sentence saying that she loves you forever. That means that she just wants some alone time to cool down and think about things!¡± Sigh, at the end of the day, it still meant that she was mad at me. If I didn''t help Qin Ya out, then Tongxin wouldn''t have bump into us and nothing would have happened! However, since Tongxin said that she wants some time alone to cool down, I shouldn''t go and disturb her as well. I shall go to Chengdu and locate Mengxin first before heading to Hong Kong to look for her. The next day, Chen Hao, Su Ziyue and of course the old man, Qin Yifan, left on a train headed to Chengdu. This time around, Chen Hao¡¯s main focus was to locate someone. In addition to that, his sister had previously invested in a small business in Chengdu. He guessed that his sister had probably forgotten about it. Li Zhenguo was the one who brought it up. That was a good thing for Chen Hao. After all, it would be a lot faster locating somebody with both mary resources and connections within the area. ¡°Grandpa Qin, have some fruits! I have peeled them for you!¡± Su Ziyue was still rather weak. However, she clearly appreciated Qin Yifan saving her life. Thus, she was very caring toward both Chen Hao and Qin Yifan throughout the journey. ¡°Mr. Qin, where is your hometown?¡± Qin Yifan said, ¡°I forgot. I will take a look around when we arrive in Chengdu.¡± Chen Hao was speechless and could only smile. ¡°Chen Hao? What are you doing here?¡± Just as Chen Hao was staring out of the window while deep in thought, a girl¡¯s confused tone could be heard. Chen Hao turned his head and was surprised to see a familiar face on board. The girl was Hu Huimin! Standing by her side were a few unfamiliar faces as well as Shen Junwen whom he bumped into the previous time. Chen Hao was shocked by their dress codes as it was different from their usual look. By the looks of it, they were dressed up as students. The other girl also stared at Chen Hao along with Hu Huimin. Chen Hao casually said, ¡°I am going to Chengdu! Where are you going?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. After all, Hu Huimin used to be ssmates with him and she was even his team captain during high school. Therefore, Chen Hao naturally asked. Hu Huimin casually replied, ¡°We are also heading to Chengdu. As to why, you don''t have to know!¡± What a coincidence. How could I have bumped into her everywhere? Hu Huimin was surprised that Chen Hao could actually afford to upgrade from electric trains with green carriages to this high-speed train. After a quick chat with mostly Hu Huimin talking back in a rebuking tone, they eventually stopped talking. Chen Hao also felt snubbed despite his good intentions. s, it did not matter. Chen Hao was not going to be particr about that. However, by the looks of it, Hu Huimin must be going to Chengdu to partake in some private activities. Chen Hao was not interested to know what it was. At that moment, Su Ziyue had peeled and sliced another fruit. Su Ziyue could tell that Chen Hao knew Hu Huimin well. Moreover, Hu Huimin and the rest of her friends were seated fairly close to Chen Hao. Hence, with a smile on her face, Su Ziyue asked, ¡°Miss Hu, I have just peeled and sliced this fruit. Do you want one?¡± Su Ziyue was kind and warm hearted. So, she naturally offered some fruits to Hu Huimin. Hu Huimin casually replied, ¡°Thank you, but it¡¯s okay. I don''t eat fruits!¡± In her eyes, Chen Hao was a poor loser thus she naturally looked down at all of his friends. The same rule applied to a circle of friends. If one was of no status within that circle, everybody would look down on that person. Therefore, if that person were to bring a friend into their circle, the rest of them would naturally look down on the friend as well. On the contrary, if one was very popr in the circle, all the friends they introduced would be very well epted by the rest. Su Ziyue actually nned to make Chen Hao look good in front of his friends by being nice and friendly. However, she did not expect this pretty Miss Hu to sort of dislike her. Su Ziyue¡¯s face turned red as she awkwardly took her fruits back. Shen Junwen put on a bitter smile and said, ¡°Huimin, this is a tangerine given to me by my rtives from my hometown. It is quite sweet, let me peel one for you to try!¡± When someone attained a certain status, there would be many peopleing up to fawn over that person. Even then, not everyone had the qualifications and opportunity to do so. Hu Huimin nodded. ¡°We heard that the tangerines in Jin Ling City are quite famous. We spent most of our time in the Northern Region so we are interested to try as well!¡± A few other girls on the opposite side chirped in as well. It was clear that the few of them originated from different areas. ¡°Alright! Here you go!¡± Shen Junwen smiled and tossed the tangerines over to them. He also peeled one for Hu Huimin. Hu Huimin ate one and said, ¡°Yup, it''s very sweet!¡± The few of them then started chatting and sharing stories about their lives. Chen Hao could tell that Su Ziyue was exceptionally embarrassed as her face turned red. He was quite furious inside. After all, Hu Huimin was so rude by looking down at them. As such, he consoled Su Ziyue by patting her on the shoulders and peeled a tangerine for her. Su Ziyue then asked, ¡°Chen Hao, how are we getting to Liang City?¡± Chen Hao said, ¡°We could rent a car and drive there. Since it''s nothing special, we don''t need the help from the business in Chengdu yet! We can decideter on!¡± After all, this task given by his father was to be done with secrecy and the only other person to know about this was Li Zhenguo. As for the others, they merely thought Chen Hao was in Chengdu for a vacation. Therefore, Chen Hao had no requests at the moment, so he did not inform his sister¡¯spany in Chengdu as well. Plus, he heard that the business was not exactly arge one and was streets behindpared to his businesses in Jin Ling. In a blink of an eye, four hours had passed. By then, it was already evening. At that moment, outside of Chengdu train station. More than ten luxurious cars were parked outside. ¡°Why is he not here yet? I am already so tired from standing. President Zhu, you came down here personally to pick him up but who is this guy?¡± ¡°Shut up and stand straight! If I find out that your ignorance and disrespect offended this person, you would be in deep sh*t!¡± President Zhu was a middle-aged man. With a serious look on his face, he shouted at one of the female managers working for him. Chapter 338 Fateful Encounter at the Train Station Chapter 338 Fateful Encounter at the Train Station As a city center, Chengdu was a crowded ce. Hence, at a crowded area like the entrance of the train station, the convoy seemed to garner much attention. At that moment, they arrived at their stop. Chen Hao stood up to stretch and brought Su Ziyue along with Mr. Qin off the train. This time, however, Chen Hao ignored Hu Huimin and the others when he walked past them. He did not bother greeting them at all. ¡°Hmph! What an attitude! It¡¯s not like I want to greet you either!¡± Hu Huimin didn¡¯t expect Chen Hao to be this wilful and went as far as not greeting her anymore. Indeed, Hu Huimin had a strong sense of superiority. She could ignore a person if they greeted her; if they didn¡¯t, especially if they were someone like Chen Hao, she would feel humiliated as if she had been treated unfairly. s, it didn¡¯t matter anyway. The lot then got down from the train one after another. ¡°Junwen, didn¡¯t you say that someone will pick us up when we reach?¡± Hu Huimin asked. The few of them walked out together and looked around their surroundings. Beep beep! Just then, a Land Rover drove over and honked. The car window was rolled down right after, and a handsome young man greeted Shen Junwen. ¡°Junwen, over here!¡± ¡°Wang Jian!¡± Shen Junwen waved his hands. ¡°Wow, it''s a Land Rover! Junwen, what does your friend do?¡± the girls next to him couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°We were ssmates back in the police academy. However, he took a different route and went to inherit his father¡¯spany after he graduated, haha!¡± Shen Junwen exined. The girls looked at Shen Junwen with admiration. Why do outstanding people always flock together? ¡°By the way Huimin, didn¡¯t you say that your high school best friend from Chengdu ising over to get us? If we leave now, wouldn¡¯t theye for nothing?¡± one of the girls asked. ¡°Huimin, how are your high school buddies doing now? Didn¡¯t you say that they became entrepreneurs?¡± Shen Junwen asked while heading toward the car. ¡°Yeah, back then the few of us represented our high school inpetitions, quite a few of the capable ones came over to Chengdu. Since our mission only starts after a few days, I might want to hang out with them before that! But then again, they can¡¯t everpare to your friend Wang Jian!¡± Hu Huimin noted sourly. Then, the bunch of them headed toward the car and started introducing themselves. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Beep beep! They heard another series of honking. A BMW 5 Series drove over. The car window rolled down, revealing a couple in the front seats. They waved at Hu Huimin. ¡°Hey, Huimin!¡± ¡°Wang Wen! Liang Meng!¡± Hu Huimin greeted them cheerfully. Seeing how Hu Huimin¡¯s friends came over in a luxurious car made the two girls by her side envious. After all, they had only a handful of friends from school and most of them didn¡¯t stay in contact anymore. They then went through another round of awkward introductions. There was much more to talk about between sessful people. ¡°Huimin, I haven¡¯t seen you in a while now. I missed you so much! We can finally have a proper gathering!¡± Wang Wen, the pretty girl, held onto Hu Huimin¡¯s hand and said chirpily. ¡°Huh?¡± Suddenly, Wang Wen was stunned upon seeing the person behind Hu Huimin. ¡°I-I-Isn¡¯t that Chen Hao? Is this for real?¡± Wang Wen stared at Chen Hao and the others who were walking out from the train station. They were carrying a bunch of luggages. ¡°Hmph! Of course it¡¯s him!¡± Hu Huimin said, annoyed. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Wang Wen suddenly called out. Chen Hao was surprised. Did someone just call for me? He turned back and saw Wang Wen and Liang Meng. They weren¡¯t close during junior high. Other than asionally talking during apetition, they never contacted each other privately too. However, Chen Hao¡¯s rtionship with Wang Wen was quite alright. As for Liang Meng, he came from a wealthy background. Naturally, he rarely talked to Chen Hao. However, he was close to Hu Huimin and the others. Right then, Chen Hao walked over feeling slightly surprised and happy. ¡°Wang Wen and Liang Meng? Is that you guys?¡± After all, Chen Hao was enthusiastic that he was reunited with his old schoolmates. Liang Meng sized Chen Hao up before nodding his head in disdain as a form of greeting. On the other hand, Wang Wen happily hopped over and patted Chen Hao¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao! I haven¡¯t seen you in such a long time. You never bothered to contact us too!¡± During apetition back then, both Chen Hao and Wang Wen were assigned as a team and they managed to ce. Hence, both of them were closer from being teammates. ¡°Yeah, we haven¡¯t seen each other for a while now!¡± Chen Hao reminisced. ¡°Oh yeah, Chen Hao! Is that pretty girl your girlfriend along with your rtive? Where are you guys heading? Let Liang Meng and I give you guys a ride!¡± Wang Wen offered. ¡°I still need to fetch someer though!¡± Liang Meng chided in. Wang Wen¡¯s smile faltered a little as she awkwardly tried to change the topic. ¡°By the way, Huimin, Chen Hao, I don¡¯t think you guys know this yet, but Liang Meng and I are getting married soon! I¡¯m already three months pregnant too!¡± ¡°Wow, really? Congrattions!¡± Hu Huimin congratted her andughed along. It wasn¡¯t clear what went through her mind but she sneaked a look at Chen Hao¡¯s reaction. It was as if she just had to see Chen Hao¡¯s expression when he couldn¡¯tpare to others, so that she could be happy. ¡°Huh? I did not see that just now! What the f*ck? Look at that convoy!¡± Wang Jian suddenly pointed in a direction. ¡°Huh? Yeah, there are so many luxury cars!¡± The girls looked over and eximed in admiration. ¡°The leader is Zhu Ming, President Zhu of the famous enterprise in this city, isn''t he?¡± Liang Meng recognized him and asked in shock. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s really President Zhu! That¡¯s weird though. Why would such an important persone over to fetch others? I remember my dad bringing me to arge business conference when I was a kid. Back then, I was immature. Running and messing around, I almost knocked into him! He even patted my head!¡± Wang Jian boasted proudly. ¡°I¡¯ll go over and greet them. I saw one of the managers who is friends with my dad standing with President Zhu too!¡± Wang Jian said and headed over. Everyone looked at him in awe. They watched as Wang Jian greeted and made small talk with the manager for a few moments before heading back here. ¡°How¡¯d it go, Wang Jian?¡± Shen Junwen asked in awe. ¡°I just greeted him, hehe! They all apparently came over to pick up some big boss so we didn¡¯t talk much. However, President Zhu did look at me just now but I didn¡¯t dare to greet him!¡± Everyone chatted excitedly. Chen Hao felt awkward standing there, so he left after bidding Wang Wen goodbye. Wang Wen did not persuade him to stay too as it would indeed be awkward if Chen Hao continued staying with them. ¡°Hm, this is weird. Why isn¡¯t Young Master Chen here yet?¡± On the other side, Zhu Ming nced at his watch. He was so nervous that his forehead was covered with sweat. In fact, Li Zhenguo did not arrange for Zhu Ming to pick up Young Master Chen. He only informed Zhu Ming that Young Master Chen would be arriving today, so he should stand by and wait for Young Master Chen''s call anytime. After all, Chen Hao ordered them to not make a big deal out of it. However, Zhu Ming took his mindless words seriously. He didn¡¯t dare to neglect any small details. But, there was still no sight of him after waiting for so long. On the other hand, Chen Hao booked the three of them a hotel for the night when he noticed that it was alreadyte. Just when he finished settling everything, his phone suddenly rang... Chapter 339 The Lost Ring Chapter 339 The Lost Ring The phone call was from Li Zhenguo. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Young Master Chen, have you reached yet? The phone number that I sent you just now belongs to General Manager Zhu from Chen Group¡¯s Chengdu branch. When you reach there, you should contact Zhu Ming if you need anything!¡± Li Zhenguo informed. He was also worried that Chen Hao might get into some kind of danger again. ¡°I understand!¡± ¡°Also, Young Master Chen, Zhu Ming was also the one who was handling the matter of the jade in Chengdu. I heard that he already came up with a few leads!¡± ¡°Alright, I will make sure to give him a call about it!¡± After hanging up, Chen Haoid back on his bed. Then, he dialled Zhu Ming¡¯s number. Zhu Ming was ecstatic when he received Chen Hao¡¯s phone call. Nheless, he kept his professionalism and went straight to the point. ¡°Young Master Chen, after doing some investigation on the origins of the jade, I¡¯ve found some leads. Although I still couldn¡¯t find out the exact family that owned this jade, I¡¯ve already described the shape and characteristics of the jade to the master. He told me that if he everes across anything like it, he will be able to recognize it right away!¡± ¡°Alright! Since it¡¯ste already, let¡¯s wait till tomorrow. I will meet you in the morning and you can bring me to meet the master!¡± After settling everything, Chen Hao called Su Tongxin instinctively. He used to call Su Tongxin to chat before he slept every night. However, he didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Su Tongxin. She refused to ept his calls despite many attempts. At the same time, Su Tongxin was also thinking about Chen Hao in her dorm. ¡°Tongxin, could you go downstairs with me to get some stuff?¡± Seeing that Su Tongxin was daydreaming while studying, Su Mengmeng went over and tapped on her shoulder. ¡°Sure!¡± Su Tongxin agreed and the both of them went downstairs. The dorm for the television station sheltered many girls from all around the world who came here for their internships. A few of them were from the city. ¡°Haha, if it isn¡¯t Su Tongxin! Aren¡¯t you busy studying? Since when do you have the time toe down and buy stuff?¡± A tall and lean girl who looked quite pretty, red coldly at Su Tongxin. ¡°Yang Huali, why do you even care? Stop being a busybody!¡± Su Mengmeng retorted on behalf of Su Tongxin. It seemed like Yang Huali was from Shanghai. The rivalry between Yang Huali and Su Tongxin started out with their results. Her marks had always fell short of Su Tongxin¡¯s. Both of the girls were also fiercepetitors. This time around, the two of them were fighting over a role that would be chosen to assist both the entertainment team and the professional team. The best intern among them would be selected to join the entertainment team. By joining the team, poprity woulde naturally for that person in the future. The ones who had garnered the most support were of course, Yang Huali and Su Tongxin. However, Yang Huali had some personal connections within thepany. Therefore, she managed to pull some strings to humiliate Su Tongxin during a few asions, especially since this role would affect her poprity in the future. So, when Yang Huali saw Su Tongxin, her hatred red up. It looked like Su Mengmeng was about to fight with her. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Mengmeng. Let¡¯s just go back!¡± Su Tongxin warned. They finally left. ¡°Hmph! I¡¯ll make sure that you won¡¯t be the one getting into the entertainment team!¡± Yang Huali snarled, holding onto her arms. When Su Tongxin came back, there was a girl waiting outside her dorm. ¡°Tongxin, you¡¯re finally back! I couldn¡¯t find you in your dorm just now. I just finished writing my report, could youe over to help me check it out?¡± the girl asked with a polite smile. ¡°Sure!¡± Su Tongxin agreed. She then headed over to the girl¡¯s dorm. Not long after, she returned to her own dorm. This was how Su Tongxin usually spent her day. Suddenly, she heard amotion outside. It sounded like a girl was crying. Su Tongxin and the others ventured out to search for the source of the voice. It turned out that the cries were from the dorm belonging to the girl who came to Su Tongxin earlier for help on her report. Several girls had already gathered at the girl¡¯s dorm. Su Tongxin and the others went to check it out as well. ¡°Why are you crying? What happened?¡± one of the girls asked. ¡°I went shopping with my roommates just now, but when I came back, I couldn¡¯t find the diamond ring that my boyfriend gave me! The diamond ring is very expensive, and I can¡¯t seem to find it anywhere!¡± the girl cried in frustration. Right at this moment, Yang Huali came out from her dorm next door too. ¡°Don¡¯t cry anymore, Xiaoyun. Try recalling, where did youst ce your ring? I¡¯m sure you know how clumsy and forgetful you are. Maybe you identally left it somewhere?¡± Yang Huali tried to console her. ¡°But, Huali, I remember things clearly. There was no way I could have just left it somewhere. Moreover, the ring cost around 400,000. Why would I simply leave it lying around in the dorm?¡± Xiaoyun cried out. ¡°That¡¯s weird. Alright, Xiaoyun. Try to recall who stayed in the dorm room after you guys left? Did you guys lock your room properly? Maybe someone might have sneaked in?¡± ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have bragged about the diamond ring to everyone in the first ce!¡± Yang Huali asserted. ¡°All five of us went to the mall today except for Ma Nan. She told us that she had to rush a report¡­¡± one of the roommates trailed off. ¡°N-N-No! It wasn¡¯t me! I did not take it!¡± Ma Nan protested, terrified. ¡°You were the only one in the dorm anyway. If it wasn¡¯t you, who else could have taken it?¡± Yang Huali questioned. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°What about this, why don¡¯t you let us search through your belongings?¡± Yang Huali suggested. Su Tongxin couldn¡¯t bear seeing the way Yang Huali treated Ma Nan who was usually close to her. She then stood out and vouched for Ma Nan, ¡°I can testify that Ma Nan didn¡¯t go through Xiaoyun¡¯s belongings! She isn¡¯t like that!¡± ¡°You can testify for her? What proof do you have?¡± Yang Huali pointed at Su Tongxin and asked. ¡°Oh, I just remembered! When I came out for some water earlier, I remember seeing Tongxin and Ma Nan entering the dorm together!¡± Suddenly, one of the girls from the dorm next door said. ¡°What?¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze shifted toward Su Tongxin. ¡°So that was why you stood up for Ma Nan. Hmph! Looks like the both of you are in this together, am I right?¡± ¡°What are you going on about?!¡± Su Mengmeng was agitated. ¡°Haha, since you imed that both of you didn¡¯t do it, why don¡¯t you let us search through your belongings? If you didn¡¯t do it, why are you so nervous?¡± Yang Huali provoked. ¡°Tongxin¡­ You¡­ ¡± The girl who lost her ring looked at Su Tongxin, dumbfounded. After all, she was quite close to Su Tongxin. ¡°Fine. If you want to do it then go ahead!¡± Su Tongxin relented. Yang Huali immediately got up and went to search. She searched through Ma Nan¡¯s belongings and found nothing. Then, Yang Huali and a few of her friends went over to Su Tongxin¡¯s dorm. They were searching halfway when someone removed Su Tongxin¡¯s pillow case. Yang Huali pointed in shock. ¡°Oh my God! Xiaoyun,e and take a look! Is this your ring?¡± Everyone in the room saw it for themselves. Xiaoyun went over and examined the ring. ¡°Yeah! This is my ring!¡± Dumbfounded, she then looked at Su Tongxin. ¡°Tongxin, why did you take it?¡± Chapter 340 Someone Powerful Chapter 340 Someone Powerful Su Tongxin was taken aback. ¡°How is that possible? I did not take it!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe that you¡¯re still trying to deny when all the evidence points to you! Haha, how interesting!¡± Yang Huali said. ¡°Tongxin, I¡¯ve always looked up to you. But, what you¡¯ve done today really made me disappointed. If you really liked it, you could have just told me!¡± Xiaoyun used her in disbelief. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me! It really wasn¡¯t me!¡± Su Tongxin continued shaking her head. ¡°Exactly! I¡¯m telling you, Yang Huali. Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend is the richest man in Jin Ling. She could have anything she wants with a snap of her fingers. Why would she need to steal?¡± Su Mengmeng defended Su Tongxin. ¡°Hahahaha! Wow, I¡¯m so scared! Jin Ling¡¯s richest man!¡± Yang Huali tried to contain herughter as she mocked. ¡°Whatever. What you just said doesn¡¯t deny the fact that she stole anyway. We will report this to the director tomorrow! Let¡¯s go! I can¡¯t believe that you¡¯re the director¡¯s favourite. Haha, there¡¯s even that huge event at the Hong Kong Television Station tomorrow! We will see how you¡¯re going to exin yourself then!¡± Yang Huali spun around and left, pulling Xiaoyun along with her. Ma Nan looked at Su Tongxin with an unreadable expression. Finally, she bit her lips and left. ¡°Tongxin, how did this happen? All of us believe that you wouldn¡¯t steal it. But the problem is, all of us were at the dorm the whole time, so who could have nted the ring under your pillow?¡± Of course, Su Mengmeng and the others knew who her boyfriend was. Even if they didn¡¯t, they were sure about Tongxin¡¯s personality. ¡°I know who nted it. But, I don¡¯t think that she did it to harm me!¡± Tears were threatening to drop from Su Tongxin¡¯s eyes. Indeed, how could she not know how this happened? However, Su Tongxin couldn¡¯t understand why Ma Nan would help Yang Huali to frame her. Didn¡¯t I stand up for her everytime she was bullied by Yang Huali? Meanwhile, Su Mengmeng and the others also figured out who it was. ¡°What the f*ck? I will confront her right now! How ungrateful!¡± Su Mengmeng and Wu Wenwen were agitated. ¡°Whatever. There¡¯s no use confronting her anyways. Since someone could persuade Ma Nan into framing me, of course the person wouldn''t let her tell the truth! Moreover, this is obviously a trap. Even if they didn¡¯t seed this time, there will be more next time. She will never let mepete with her fair and square!¡± Su Tongxiny back on her bed, depressed. ¡°Tongxin, why don¡¯t you give Chen Hao a call? Yang Huali is a local and has many connections around this area. It would be impossible for you to win against her. Look, she can even make Ma Nan listen to her! All she wants is to stop you frompeting and send you back to Jin Ling!¡± said Su Mengmeng worriedly. ¡°I know, Mengmeng. You guys should stay out of this. I am the only one that she hates anyway. I don¡¯t want to drag you guys down with me. I heard that a mysterious powerful person ising over to the television station tomorrow. So, let¡¯s rest well tonight and prepare for tomorrow!¡± Su Tongxiny back onto her bed. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Although she insisted that she was fine, she was still a girl after all. Deep down, she felt that she didn¡¯t have anyone who cared about her. She couldn¡¯t help but think of Chen Hao. If only Chen Hao was here, he would have been by my side no matter what. If he knew that something happened to me, he would also be the first to rush over. At that moment, Su Tongxin really wanted to give Chen Hao a call and vent out all her frustrations. It wasn¡¯t easy for a girl to live outside on her own. However, she remembered what Qin Ya had told her back then. If she needed Chen Hao to handle all of her problems for her, what else could she offer him except for her looks? All she wanted was to be the woman behind Chen Hao, assisting him on the road to sess, and not just an ornament that was ced around without any purpose. Su Tongxin had a hard time falling asleep that night. The next morning. Due to the event at the television station, most of them went over earlier to help set up and what not. The Hong Kong Television Station along with other television stations within the Southern region and some others from around China were solely owned and managed by a huge enterprise. They were extremely powerful. Moreover, there were also rumors that the boss behind the group was a young woman with an influential background. However, the powerful television station enterprise was nothing but a speck of dust in the eye of the boss. The rumors had been going on for quite some time. However, no one knew the exact situation behind it. After all, no one had seen the boss. Therefore, it was an understatement that the television station took this event seriously. Even the arrangements of the furniture in the hall had to be precise as no mistakes would be tolerated. One could imagine the level of importance of this event. Moreover, the event this time would be graced by many famous celebrities from the local scene. It would be a lively event. p p p! While everyone was still setting up decorations, Director Hou pped his hands and motioned for the interns as well as the staff to stop what they were doing. ¡°Guys, pleasee over. I have an announcement to make!¡± Around ten of them gathered around. ¡°In light of a special guest who would being over today, I need all of you to be especially careful! Moreover, I have decided to select one of the interns to present awards. However, they must be on constant alert as they will be required to interact with many powerful figures!¡± Director Hou said nervously. ¡°Huali, we support you!¡± Suddenly, a bunch of people screamed out on the spot. They were all young masters and misses from rich families who came to show their support to Yang Huali. Naturally, they had the privilege to enter the venue. As a matter of fact, many have already arrived at the venue by this time. Even the influential figures from Yan Jing and Shanghai had arrived. Director Hou¡¯s mouth twitched a little before smiling awkwardly. ¡°I have already discussed with the television station and decided to let Su Tongxin hold the position!¡± ¡°Tongxin, you must work hard!¡± Director Hou said, putting all his faith in her. Su Tongxin nodded. ¡°Hmph! I disagree!¡± Yang Huali¡¯s face turned green with envy. It went without saying that the person chosen for this role would also be the leader among the interns. Hence, Yang Huali was naturally anxious about the selection. ¡°Huali, you still have other tasks to do, right? What are you disagreeing on? Director Hou was also well aware about Yang Huali¡¯s background and dared not be too strict with her. ¡°I¡¯m not saying that I want topete too. But, what I mean is that anyone else couldpete for this position except for that thief! Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to everyone!¡± Yang Huali protested. ¡°What thief? What are you talking about?¡± Director Hou demanded. ¡°Now that it¡¯s brought up, I was just going to report it to you. Yesterday night, Su Tongxin stole the diamond ring that Xiaoyun¡¯s boyfriend gave her! Everyone was there too! We have all the evidence!¡± Yang Huali exined. A bunch of the girls nodded. To be honest, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that they saw it for themselves, no one would have believed it. ¡°Based on this alone, Su Tongxin doesn¡¯t deserve to be selected!¡± ¡°Exactly! How could you pick someone like this?¡± ¡°F*ck! Just kick her out! She stole things too! How embarrassing!¡± ¡°Yeah! She is such a disgrace to all of us interns!¡± Quite a few of the interns, especially the girls who were jealous of Su Tongxin, started protesting. ¡°I did not steal it! It really wasn¡¯t me¡­¡± Faced with usations and contempt, Su Tongxin tried to defend herself. Chapter 341 Ineffable Difficulties Chapter 341 Ineffable Difficulties ¡°Tongxin, what is going on?¡± Director Hou saw that many people were chiming in at that moment. Despite his admiration for Su Tongxin, he had to be fair under such circumstances. ¡°Xiaoyun,e and tell Director Hou what happened!¡± Yang Huali dragged Li Xiaoyun, who was keeping quiet, over to Director Hou. Li Xiaoyun stuttered and was reluctant to speak up. It was because Su Tongxin was actually a nice person. Not only that, Li Xiaoyun had a close rtionship with her as well. Yes, I was mad and angry when I lost my ring. I was even prepared to make a police report and send Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. the culprit to jail. However, now that Li Xiaoyun found out that the culprit was Su Tongxin, she decided to keep quiet. In order to protect Su Tongxin¡¯s reputation, she did not want to bring the matter up. She only wished to contain the issue and prevent it from blowing up. Director Hou frowned and said, ¡°Xiaoyun, tell me now!¡± Thus, Li Xiaoyun narrated the incident that happened yesterday. Coupled with the fact that there were so many witnesses, Director Hou was ced in a tough spot. As a matter of fact, Director Hou did not buy the story at all. However, if he were to just sweep things under the rug, a troublemaker like Yang Huali would most probably urge him to report this to the police. Furthermore, Yang Huali brought arge number of her college friends here to back her up. She was obviously not going to let things go. Director Hou said, ¡°Tongxin, this leaves me no choice. Under such circumstances, I cannot offer you the position!¡± Yang Huali crossed her arms and said, ¡°Exactly, it cannot be given to her!¡± At that moment, Ma Nan was looking at Su Tongxin from a corner. She wanted to speak up, however, she immediately received a warning stare from Yang Huali. Therefore, she could only clench her fists and lower her head down. She felt ashamed and helpless. On the other hand, Su Tongxin could not exin her way out of it and had no choice but to look on helplessly at the opportunity being snatched away by someone else. Now that Su Tongxin was no longer considered a potential candidate, nobody else within thepany dared to fight with Yang Huali over the position. ¡°Tongxin!¡± Su Mengmeng and the rest of them walked over. ¡°It''s alright, Mengmeng. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just going to the washroom first!¡± After saying that, Su Tongxin turned around and left. By the time Su Tongxin finished washing her hands and came out of the washroom, Yang Huali and a few of her friends were already blocking the way. With an icy look, Su Tongxin asked, ¡°What do you want? Aren''t you satisfied with how things went?¡± ¡°Haha, of course I am not satisfied. I know how everyone else would perceive me, they might even think that I set you up and framed you. However, nothing else matters now. The opportunity is mine and you have already lost! But I¡¯m still not convinced!¡± Yang Huali¡¯s eyes were filled with jealousy. Since a very young age, Yang Huali would bask in the glory of constantly being at the top. No matter where she went, no matter what organization she was in, she would undoubtedly be the center of attention and the most sessful person there. Everyone would address her as Sister Li. Initially, she thought that bying to intern at a television station coupled with the fact that she had all the favorable conditions, she would naturally be the star of the show. At the end of the day however, she was outshined by Su Tongxin in every single aspect. To her, Su Tongxin was good at deceiving and manipting others in order to garner their attention and support. Be it Ma Nan who came from a poor family or Li Xiaoyun with a fairly rich boyfriend, they were all very kind toward Su Tongxin. Most importantly, Li Xiaoyun used to be a very close friend of Yang Huali back in college. Yet she became exceptionally close to Su Tongxin now. Did she think that I wouldn''t notice? If it had been someone else or even me who stole such an expensive and valuable belonging from Li Xiaoyun, there was no way she would have let the culprit off the hook so easily. She would even have a falling out with the person. But when she found out that the culprit was Su Tongxin, not only did she decide not to press charges, she even advised me to stop spreading news about it so that it would not ruin Su Tongxin¡¯s reputation. Why? Why! Why does everyone favor Su Tongxin?! Su Tongxin snapped, ¡°What are you unconvinced about? It¡¯s not like I am a match to you!¡± ¡°I am just unconvinced! I am unhappy that everyone likes you and hates me. Even when everyone knows you''re the culprit, do you think I don''t know what''s on their mind? They were all discussing how I framed and set you up!¡± ¡°I don''t want to listen to all these. I believe that this whole thing will eventuallye to light!¡± After saying that, Su Tongxin turned around and left. ¡°Stop right there! Now that I am the star of the show, how dare you disregard me like that!¡± Yang Huali violently dragged Su Tongxin back. ¡°Hmph!¡± p! She snorted and a loud p followed right after. All of a sudden, she raised her hand and gave a hard p on Su Tongxin¡¯s face. ¡°Let me tell you something, I have always wanted to teach you a lesson! But since everyone glorified you, I had no choice but to hold myself back. However, there is no need for that anymore! From now onward, everyone has to bow down to me! Including you!¡± Yang Huali finished talking and raised her hand to p Su Tongxin again. ¡°Stop right there! Yang Huali, what are you trying to do?¡± Just then, a few girls ran over. They were Li Xiaoyun and also Su Tongxin¡¯s dormitory mates. Li Xiaoyun was the one that shouted. When Yang Huali brought her friends in earlier, Su Tongxin¡¯s group of friends felt that something was amiss. Li Xiaoyun said, ¡°Who are you to p Tongxin?¡± Yang Huali shouted, ¡°So what if I pped her? So what? Now that I am the leader, I find her unpleasant so I punished her!¡± After that, she pointed at Su Tongxin and said, ¡°In the future, keep your head down andy low!¡± She then brought her friends with her and left. Su Mengmeng asked in a concerning voice, ¡°Tongxin, are you okay?¡± ¡°I am fine!¡± Su Mengmeng viciously said, ¡°F*ck! This Yang Huali is too much! The assistant position should have been yours, yet now she actually arranged for you to be a receptionist at the front entrance. She is too cruel. I cannot stand it anymore! Let¡¯s go and beat her up!¡± Su Tongxin agitatedly said, ¡°No! Don''t offend her just because of me. Otherwise, it would be hard for you all to gain a firm footing in thispany. We have no choice as she is the person with authority around here!¡± Su Tongxin resigned herself to her fate of being a receptionist. She really did not want to drag Su Mengmeng and the rest of them into this. ¡°Tongxin, since both of us are the receptionists, and now that numerous businessmen as well as celebrities have arrived, let''s head over¡­¡± Just then, Ma Nan walked over and whispered to Su Tongxin. Su Mengmeng ridiculed and snorted. ¡°Hmph! I don''t see you getting a promotion after licking someone¡¯s boots!¡± Everyone looked at Ma Nan in disdain before leaving to fulfill their responsibilities. Su Tongxin also nced at Ma Nan and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± When they reached the entrance, the central square was already packed. Many of the big shots had already arrived and went inside. To be honest, as a receptionist, their only job was to stand outside. It was vastly different from Yang Huali¡¯s role whereby she could mingle around with the bunch of big shots. ¡°Tongxin, I-I am sorry!¡± Ma Nan cried as she looked at Su Tongxin¡¯s cheek that was red after being pped. Right, since I came out to work, the person who was the kindest to me was most definitely Su Tongxin. Sometimes when I didn''t have money, Su Tongxin actually provided me with financial assistance. Therefore, Ma Nan felt exceptionally guilty that she caused Su Tongxin to be in such a state. Ma Nan cried out and said, ¡°Tongxin, I am actually being forced against my will. I have ineffable difficulties¡­¡± Chapter 342 Young Master Chen is Here Chapter 342 Young Master Chen is Here Thus, Ma Nan then told them the story of how she plotted against Su Tongxin. In short, Ma Nan thought that this was a valuable opportunity for her to work in the TV station. Yang Huali had even tempted her with this post and better future prospects as a sort of bribe. If Ma Nan didn¡¯t cooperate, Yang Huali would not even give her an internship opportunity. Therefore, Ma Nan had no choice but to agree. Though Su Tongxin was angry at Ma Nan, she wasn¡¯t furious at her now. After all, she couldn¡¯t me it all on Ma Nan. If Su Tongxin had lost this position, she could return to Jin Ling as she would still have her family and Chen Hao. On the other hand, if Ma Nan had lost this position, she would have nothing left. If I were in Ma Nan¡¯s shoes, would I have done the same? Hence, the culprit was Yang Huali. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. So if she wanted to resent someone, it certainly should be Yang Huali. ¡°Tongxin, I should stand up against Yang Huali rather than let her do this to you!¡± Ma Nan said sulkily. ¡°I¡¯m not ming you as I know you have your difficulties. This is between Yang Huali and me. I don¡¯t me anyone else!¡± Su Tongxin quickly said. ¡°Hmph, why are you two still talking? Stand up straight!¡± At this moment, Yang Huali came over and ordered smugly. ¡°Su Mengmeng and Wu Wenwen, you two stand over there. We need to have more staff to wee visitors so I requested to have two extra!¡± Yang Huali stood at the doorway as she nced at Su Mengmeng and Wu Wenwen. Leaders had starteding out to prepare for the weing ceremony. ¡°President Xu, Young Master Xu of Yan Jing has arrived!¡± At this moment, a shout announced the arrival of a young master who was immediately surrounded by his admirers. He was then presented with a silk banner. Every guest naturally wanted to disy some proof of their identity or firm. This was a marvelous spectacle indeed. Rich people from around the world gathered at this event, so it was the perfect opportunity to promote their enterprise or themselves. ¡°President Wang from Shanghai has arrived!¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Gradually, the number of guests increased. As for Yang Huali, she had the privilege to be thest in the group of staff to wee the guests and shook hands with all of them. On the long red carpet, many rich and famous young masters walked along within a short period of time. Meanwhile, Su Tongxin was also very excited for some reason. It was because many important people from Jiang Nan province had arrived. So what was she excited about? Will he be here too? The perimeter of the red carpet was surrounded by a crowd of journalists. Apart from making an appearance, all the rich came in luxury cars to unt their wealth. It was a no-brainer that Yang Huali was trying to get even with them by using her position. ¡°Tongxin, Tongxin!¡± Just then, Su Mengmeng who was standing beside Su Tongxin suddenly called out. ¡°Do you think Chen Hao woulde? If Chen Hao does, it would be a painful p in Yang Huali¡¯s face! After all, her personal connections are only the tip of the icebergpared to that of Chen Hao!¡± Su Mengmeng said excitedly. ¡°I-I don¡¯t know!¡± Su Tongxin shook her head. ¡°Ah, you¡¯re too stubborn. If I had such a rich boyfriend, I would follow him around and spend his money. Only you would insist on proving yourself. What¡¯s the big deal beingbeled as an eye candy when your husband is filthy rich?¡± Su Mengmeng had always been supportive of Su Tongxin being independent. However, after being messed around by Yang Huali, she felt very resentful. She thought, If only Chen Hao was my boyfriend. Then, Chen Hao would teach Yang Huali a lesson if she bullied me. She wouldn¡¯t even dare to speak after he¡¯s done with her! As for Wu Wenwen, she was apparently looking forward to seeing Chen Hao as well. Only then could she hold her head high up. ¡°Hmph, what are you two talking about?¡± Just then, Yang Huali strutted over and asked Su Tongxin and Su Mengmeng coldly. ¡°Yang Huali, what are you so smug about? I¡¯m telling you, you should show mercy to others so that you would have an easier time in the future. I have already warned you that Su Tongxin¡¯s boyfriend is very powerful. He''s none other than Young Master Chen from Jin Ling! He mighte today and if he does, you are so dead!¡± Su Mengmeng threatened. ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m so scared! I know a lot of rich young masters but I have never heard of Young Master Chen from Jin Ling!¡± Yang Huali rebutted mockingly. ¡°Just you wait and see!¡± replied Su Mengmeng. Suddenly, gasps were heard everywhere. One after another, luxury cars drove into thene. Obviously everyone was awed by this array of cars. Even Yang Huali became speechless due to shock. As a matter of fact, Yang Huali had seen many luxury cars in her life but she had never seen a spectacle like this¡ªa fleet of luxury cars. ¡°Young Master Chen from the Dreamer Investment Group of Jin Ling has arrived!¡± Before the cars stopped, several staff dressed in suits hollered and ran toward the leaders in charge of weing guests. They were extremely tense. ¡°Quickly! Get ready! Young Master Chen from Jin Ling is here!¡± ¡°What? So soon?¡± Once the leaders recovered from their shock, they ran down the stairs and prepared to wee him as soon as he stepped out of the car. After all, Young Master Chen was the most important figure after those who had arrived. Many rich people also surged out to wee him after they heard the call. ¡°What? There really is a Young Master Chen from Jin Ling?¡± Yang Huali was startled and paled instantly. When she saw this spectacle, she knew Young Master Chen was no doubt one of the key guests today. At that moment, she looked at Su Tongxin with envy. ¡°Is Young Master Chen of Jin Ling really your boyfriend? How is that possible?¡± Yang Huali said unbelievingly. Was Su Tongxin really better than me? Why does she have such good fortune? How can she have found such a powerful boyfriend? ¡°Haha, are you shocked? Of course it¡¯s true. Su Tongxin is Young Master Chen¡¯s girlfriend!¡± Su Mengmeng grew excited. Let¡¯s see what else can you show off with now, Yang Huali! Meanwhile, Su Tongxin¡¯s attention waspletely on the fleet of cars. Though she didn¡¯t want to ept any help from Chen Hao, she had left Jin Ling before she could have a proper conversation with him. She would be lying if she said she didn¡¯t regret being capricious. Damn, this has to be the fanciest fleet today! Everyone gasped in shock. ¡°Yes, each car cost at least 20 million. There are ten cars so that would add up to be a few billion! Holy sh*t!¡± The crowd was once again shocked. Finally, the cars came to a stop. At this moment, someone yelled, ¡°Young Master Chen is here!¡± Following that, fireworks were sted from the rooftop of the building and exploded into colorful particles of light in the sky. Then, the two giant water fountains by the sides spouted water into the air. The scene was truly magnificent. A silk banner was carefully brought forward by the staff. As for Su Tongxin, she raised her head and looked over in that direction nervously¡­ Chapter 343 A Mysterious Lady Chapter 343 A Mysterious Lady Under everyone¡¯s shocked gaze, the door of the car opened slowly. To everyone''s surprise, a chubby guy with small eyes who dressed mboyantly got out of the car. He then waved at the crowd. ¡°Is he Young Master Chen?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so!¡± ¡°Of course not. I recognize him. He''s the son of the richest guy in Suzhou City. His name is Huang Yonghao, also known as Young Master Huang!¡± ¡°Ah, I see. So this is Young Master Huang. It seems like he is here to rece Young Master Chen.¡± The crowd was busy discussing among themselves. Disappointment could be seen on all the leader''s faces following Huang Yonghao¡¯s appearance. However, they still treated him with respect. After all, he was still one of the distinguished guests. Su Tongxin was not familiar with Huang Yonghao. At that moment, she was disappointed and shocked. Why is Chen Hao not here? If he was here, she could have just hidden herself to avoid interacting with him, even so, she would at least have the chance to take a peek at him. In fact, Su Tongxin was not one who liked to show off. However, her boyfriend was going to be put in the limelight for this event. As a girl, she still felt pretty ecstatic about it. To her dismay, Chen Hao did not appear! It went without saying that Huang Yonghao did not know Su Tongxin either. Hence, he straightaway went onstage following the group of tourists. ¡°Ah? What¡¯s going on? Why didn¡¯t your boyfriend recognize you?¡± Yang Huali was scared out of her wits earlier. However, she started to gloat at Su Tongxin¡¯s situation now. ¡°Damn, what do we do? He is not Young Master Chen! Young Master Chen is not here!¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Su Mengmeng said with regret. In that case, it was time for Yang Huali to be arrogant again. ¡°Why would you even lie about how impressive your boyfriend is? How disgusting! I reckon that a p on your face was not severe enough of a punishment for you!¡± Yang Huali felt as if she had been fooled. And so, she spoke in a voice tinged with anger. After amotion thatsted briefly, the crowd had barely calmed down before they became uproarious once again. ¡°Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!¡± Someone in the crowd shouted hysterically. ¡°Which model is that car?¡± ¡°Oh my God, the car looks like the exclusive custom-made model of Lamborghini which was specially designed for the most elite customers of thepany. The design was revealed online three years ago. The car which cost at least a billion,es with top ss AI settings and functions. The structure of it is much more stable and stronger than the normal bulletproof cars, not to mention the top-notch quality of the fittings and the appearance of the car!¡± ¡°Gosh, a car that cost a few billion. Now, we are seeing... One, two, three, four, five... At least over twenty such cars!¡± ¡°It''s a fleet of cars which cost at least 20 billion in total!¡± Forget the younger ones in the crowd, even some of the wealthy businessmen couldn¡¯t stand the impact of such an impressive scene. They got so agitated that their veins were visible on their faces. Their hard-earned money suddenly seemed like nothingpared to the VIP who owned the fleet of cars. Many of the people''s faces turned as pale as paper out of excitement. Undoubtedly, this was an unprecedented spectacle. Meanwhile, the leader of the group of ushers averted his gaze to the director. The director took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm himself down. ¡°Director, is she our VIP for today¡¯s event?¡± Someone asked excitedly. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s her! Tell everyone to buck up and be at their best from now on! We have no room for mistakes. Any mistakes would lead to fatal consequences!¡± The director ordered in a shaky voice. One step at a time, he walked toward the car which had just pulled to a stop. ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± As for Su Mengmeng, Yang Huali and the girls, they were too upied to even bicker among themselves. Being extremely shocked, they were all rooted to the ground. Even Su Tongxin was slightly taken aback. Chen Hao was already very wealthy. But apparently, there was someone even richer than him out there. The fleet of cars was already worth almost 20 billion, and these were merely cars! What about the ce she lived in? What about the other things she owned? Oh my God, what an extravagant life! Her life was so luxurious to the extent that it felt surreal. Su Tongxin was in consternation. Just then, the door of the car opened. Right away, the director and the rest of the guests instinctively formed into two lines in front of the car. They then bowed respectfully. A youngdy dressed in an expensive attire alighted from the car while chewing gum in her mouth. She was wearing a pair of branded sunsses, with a jacket draped over her shoulders. Her skin was as fair as snow. Then, she moved her shoulders ever so slightly. Her jacket naturally fell off her shoulders. Instantaneously, one of the bodyguards rushed over in time to catch the jacket. Several bodyguards were standing behind her. From afar, one could notice the intimidating vibe just from their eyes. All of them disyed vigor and agility. As though they had the capability to handle all kinds of situations. The aura of thedy was strong and imposing, so much so that everyone held their breath in. Moreover, thedy was extremely gorgeous. She looked around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. Her eyes scanned the scene before her. At that moment, her gaze fell upon arge banner which was fixed outside the building. The corners of her mouth revealed a grin. Pointing at the banner, she demanded, ¡°Fix it higher!¡± She was pointing at Chen Hao¡¯s banner. ¡°Yes, of course!¡± The director, who had yet to stand straight, immediately eded. With a wave of his hand, he signaled one of the staff to get it done. Meanwhile, wealthy businessmen gathered around the entrance. At this juncture, none of them were rxed. They all bowed to her as if they were weing the Queen. Some of them looked like they were over fifty years old. Despite having done nothing wrong, they were already so anxious that their faces were nched and their legs were shaking as though they had just been electrocuted. Obviously, they were all terrified of something. As for Chen Hao¡¯s banner, it had been pulled to the highest position. The grin on thedy¡¯s face grew wider. Right then, she handed over her clutch to Su Tongxin, who was one of the usherettes. Su Tongxin was staring at Chen Hao¡¯s banner curiously. Why did she only fix the position of Chen Hao¡¯s banner? What is her rtionship with Chen Hao? Despite knowing that Chen Hao was very faithful to her, she couldn¡¯t help getting worried knowing that Chen Hao had quite a number of female acquaintances. After all, thisdy was too intimidating! Hence, Su Tongxin fell into a trance. Because of that, she did not notice the clutch passed over by thedy. ¡°Hmm?¡± Thedy furrowed her brows slightly. The director was petrified. His eyes were on the verge of popping out. Su Tongxin! What are you doing! The director was screaming wildly inside. He had already warned them umpteen times not to make any mistakes. However, they had already started to blunder at the very beginning. ¡°Are you a newbie?¡± The girl asked while chewing gum. ¡°Ah?¡± Su Tongxin couldn¡¯t react in time as she was a total nervous wreck now. ¡°S-Sorry! Sorry!¡± Su Tongxin¡¯s face turned pale at once. ¡°I-I will ask her to leave now. I will make sure she and her family members get their punishment!¡± The director spoke anxiously. Su Tongxin did not expect that her family would get implicated just because of her slow reaction. This was outright abuse! However, Su Tongxin was really terrified. The VIP could be as unreasonable as she wanted because she had the ability to do so. ¡°Did I ask her to leave? So nosy!¡± Thedy shot the director a disdainful look. ¡°I am nosy! I am nosy! I am nosy!¡± On the spot, the director punished himself with three violent ps until blood was gushing from the corners of his mouth. Yang Huali, who was keeping her head low, felt the excitement inside her grew. Because she knew that Su Tongxin was going down this time! Chapter 344 Recognition Chapter 344 Recognition ¡°Why were you staring at the banner earlier?¡± Thedy asked in a crisp voice. Keeping her head held low, Su Tongxin did not reply. Thedy then noticed the palm-shaped mark on Su Tongxin¡¯s face left by a p. At the moment, she lifted her hand and raised Su Tongxin¡¯s chin with her fingers. With a hint of sorrow in her voice, she said, ¡°What a shame for such a pretty face to be pped. Where are you from?¡± ¡°I am from Jin Ling City.¡± Su Tongxin replied. She decided not to tell thedy that she was thinking about her boyfriend, Chen Hao just now. Because she was still unclear as to thedy¡¯s true identity. ¡°She is doing her internship with us under a program arranged by Jin Ling College. Her academic results were the most outstanding among the rest!¡± Thedy did not say a thing. The directormented after finishing his self-punishment. Thedy twitched her eyes upward slightly before taking a lingering look at Su Tongxin subtly. She turned around and walked toward the entrance. However, just as she was about to reach there, she turned back around. Pointing at Su Tongxin, she said, ¡°You.¡± ¡°Follow me!¡± With that, she went into the hall straightaway. ¡°Ah? Tongxin, what are you doing? Follow the VIP now!¡± The director urged anxiously. ¡°Oh, ok!¡± Su Tongxin was taken off guard. Nheless, she followed thedy into the hall. As for Yang Huali, she was watching all of these in a daze. Why? Why did thedy decide to give Su Tongxin special treatment and disregard the way Su Tongxin had offended her, right after she found out that Su Tongxin is from Jin Ling College? A tinge of jealousy shed across her eyes. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. The meeting was going tomence soon. Su Tongxin had just gotten to know thedy''s surname after she overheard someone calling her President Chen. So, her surname was Chen too. Due to the fact that President Chen had specially asked for Su Tongxin to assist her closely, Su Tongxin was added to the list of assistants. Both Yang Huali and Su Tongxin were now helping out with the onstage work. Due to jealousy, the way Yang Huali looked at Su Tongxin had changed. She was watching Su Tongxin who was filling up everyone¡¯s cup with tea. At the moment, she was passing by Su Tongxin. After casting an icy stare at Su Tongxin, Yang Huali gave her a soft nudge from the back. Bang! Su Tongxin was unable to keep the cup in her hands and it toppled over. The cupnded on Huang Yonghao. The tea sshed over the entire upper part of his body. ¡°Damn, do you even know how to serve?!¡± With his brows creased together, Huang Yonghao was ring at Su Tongxin furiously. ¡°S-Sorry!¡± Su Tongxin immediately offered her apology. Deep down inside, she hated Yang Lihua to the core for her actions. Out of jealousy, Yang Lihua had resorted to various means to sabotage her. Although Huang Yonghao was just recing Chen Hao tonight, Su Tongxin was curious about his rtionship to Chen Hao as well as President Chen. Earlier, Huang Yonghao had addressed President Chen as his sister. As for President Chen, it appeared that she liked him a lot too. Even a fool could discern that they were on good terms with each other. However, what about the rtionship between them and Chen Hao? Su Tongxin had considered mustering up her courage to ask them. However, she suddenly remembered that she was just a staff whereas both of them were distinguished guests of the event. She was unable to gauge their reactions to her sudden question. ¡°You¡¯re sorry? Is that all? I¡­¡± With that, Huang Yonghao lifted his hand and gave Su Tongxin a shove. It was a rather forceful shove. Because of the impact, Su Tongxin lost her bnce and fell onto the floor. Her phone, too, fell on the space beside her. President Chen was obviously supposed to be the focus of the night, not Huang Yonghao. After all, it was Chen Hao who let him attend the event on his behalf. Back then, if Chen Hao was too busy to attend any of those events, he would give a call to either his godbrother, Huang Yonghao or Bai Xiaofei to let them attend on his behalf. It was the same tonight as Chen Hao was very busy. However, Li Zhenguo did not bother informing Chen Hao and allowed Huang Yonghao to attend the event straightaway. As a matter of fact, Huang Yonghao was a very arrogant and aggressive rich heir. Whenever he was with Chen Hao, he would be all submissive and obedient. However, it did not mean that he would behave the same way in front of others. Both he and Bai Xiaofei were ruthless and bad-tempered. Huang Yonghao would not be his usual self if he did notsh out on the usherette who had offended him. The rest of the guests were in a daze. Everyone, including Su Mengmeng, was staring at Su Tongxin who was pushed to the floor. Their hearts went out to her. Of course, Yang Huali was smiling sardonically. At the moment, President Chen was enjoying a massage and had missed themotion. ¡°Hmph, how dare you offend Young Master Chen! I must teach you a lesson tonight. Otherwise, you''ll never learn!¡± Huang Yonghao raised his hand and was ready to give Su Tongxin a p. All of a sudden, he froze. He was distracted by the lock screen image disyed on Su Tongxin¡¯s phone which was casted aside. ¡°Hmm? Damn!¡± Huang Yonghao was shocked. He saw Chen Hao¡¯s photo on the screen. ¡°Do you know Young Master Chen?¡± He picked up the phone. As the situation was ambiguous, he was hesitant to act now. ¡°Give me my phone!¡± Su Tongxin grabbed her phone back. ¡°I am asking you, why do you have Chen Hao, Young Master Chen¡¯s photo?¡± Huang Yonghao asked dubiously. With her eyes closed, President Chen gave a signal for the masseuse to leave. She then averted her gaze toward Su Tongxin in consternation. Thereafter, she scanned Su Tongxin from her head to her toes. ¡°This is my own business!¡± Su Tongxin kept her phone close to her carefully. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Huang Yonghao was scratching his head, as though he hade to realize something. Anxiously, he asked. ¡°Su Tongxin!¡± ¡°Hiss...¡± Huang Yonghao widened his eyes at once. The name sounded so familiar to him, he might have even heard it before. Furthermore, Xiaofei or someone else had told him about Young Master Chen¡¯s girlfriend before, something about doing an internship at Nanyang. ¡°I suppose you are from Jin Ling College?¡± Huang Yonghao asked in shock. ¡°Yes!¡± Su Tongxin nodded her head. ¡°Damn!¡± Huang Yonghao looked even more surprised. ¡°Then, you must know my brother, Chen Hao. Judging from the fact that you have his photo in your phone, are you his girlfriend? Do you know Bai Xiaofei and Li Zhenguo?¡± Su Tongxin nodded her head before answering, ¡°Yes, I do know them!¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Huang Yonghao jumped to his feet. She was really his sister-inw. What had he done? He had almost pped her! Sh*t! Huang Yonghao looked toward President Chen nervously. Apparently, thedy was listening in on their conversation all the while. At the moment, she stood up and walked toward Su Tongxin in shock. ¡°Are you really Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend?¡± asked thedy. ¡°Yes, she is indeed Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend, Su Tongxin!¡± At the moment, Su Mengmeng stepped forward and spoke on Su Tongxin¡¯s behalf. Biting her lips, Su Tongxin nodded her head. All along, she wanted to be independent instead of depending on Chen Hao¡¯s wealth. Therefore, she would usually handle most of her problems by herself. After all, as Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend, she could not just be an eye candy. Everyone else was taken aback by the scene. ¡°Damn, she is Young Master Chen¡¯s girlfriend?¡± ¡°She is indeed very pretty. But the problem is, why is his girlfriend working as an usherette here?¡± Everyone was discussing among themselves. ¡°President Chen, I... ¡± Under thedy¡¯s intense gaze, Su Tongxin was slightly affected by her intimidating aura. ¡°Hehe, you should stop calling me President Chen. If you¡¯re really Chen Hao''s girlfriend, you should address me as your sister!¡± Thedy¡¯s face broke into a subtle grin. ¡°A-Are you Chen Hao¡¯s sister, Chen Xiao?¡± Su Tongxin finally knew the true identity of President Chen who was standing before her. Chapter 345 The Distinguished Guest At The Scenic Spot Chapter 345 The Distinguished Guest At The Scenic Spot ¡°Yes, I am Chen Xiao. I suppose he had told you about me before?¡± Chen Xiao said with a smile. As for Su Tongxin, she was shaken to the core. Indeed, Chen Hao told her before that his sister, Chen Xiao treated him very well. Moreover, she was the founder of the Jin Ling Commercial Group too. She was already well aware that Chen Xiao was wealthy. However, she was surprised to have found out the actual extent of her wealth and power. The fate of almost the whole city was in her control. Hence, Su Tongxin felt slightly jittery before her. She was not intimidated when she first got into a rtionship with Chen Hao. After all, she loved him instead of his wealth. She was not in the slightest bit concerned about his financial status. On top of that, the two of them started off as good friends back then. Hence, Su Tongxin did not feel the gap between their worlds even though she knew for a fact that he was the legendary Young Master Chen. However, it was apletely different case now when she was facing Chen Xiao. She started to feel the stress due to their differences. ¡°Yes, he did. He told me that you have gone to North Africa.¡± ¡°Yes. I just got back a few days ago.¡± Chen Xiao gave a subtle smile. Following that, she turned around and whacked Huang Yonghao¡¯s head. ¡°Sister-inw, I am sorry!¡± Huang Yonghao¡¯s face already turned pale due to shock. Chen Xiao took a look at the palm-shaped mark on Su Tongxin¡¯s face. In an icy tone, she said, ¡°Oh right, who gave you this p? Since you¡¯re my brother¡¯s girlfriend, I won¡¯t let you suffer for nothing while I am here!¡± ¡°Ah? I-I am sorry!¡± Yang Huali was quite shaken too. Earlier, she thought that Su Tongxin was merely someone from a family who owned a small business in Jin Ling City. Therefore, she decided to bully her without much consideration. However, she did not expect Su Tongxin would turn out to be the girlfriend of Chen Xiao¡¯s brother. That legendary Young Master Chen in Jin Ling City was really her boyfriend! It was impossible for her to not feel terrified now. ¡°You?¡± Ruthlessness took over Chen Xiao¡¯s face, ¡°Tongxin, p her now like how she did to you earlier!¡± Su Tongxin bit her lips. To be frank, she was not someone who loved to fight. But Yang Huali was a different case. She had attempted to sabotage her several times, with her means getting more and more cunning and vicious each time. Since she was not friendly to her, there was no need for Su Tongxin to be kind. p! Su Tongxin lifted one of her hands andnded her palm on Yang Huali¡¯s face. With her face covered by her hands, Yang Huali broke into tears. Chen Xiao couldn¡¯t help feeling impressed by Su Tongxin. Casting a sideway nce at Yang Huali, she warned, ¡°It¡¯s impossible to let you go without any punishment after you have offended my brother¡¯s girlfriend. How about you drink now as ¡°Ah? Thank you!¡± Yang Huali immediately nodded her head. ¡°Don¡¯t thank me first. Let me finish my sentence. I have ten bottles of whiskey here, and you have to down it all at once!¡± She sneered. Instantaneously, some of Chen Xiao¡¯s underlings started to haul Yang Huali away. Su Tongxin¡¯s eyelids were twitching slightly. If this mess was not properly handled, the consequences would be fatal. Although she would love to teach Yang Huali a lesson, she was not that cruel of a person. She had thoughts on stopping Chen Xiao, but was soon deterred by the fact that Chen Xiao was not one to let her decision be swayed by others. Also, Su Tongxin had realized something¡ªChen Hao and his sister had totally different personalities. Chen Xiao was arrogant and domineering whereas Chen Hao was gentle and humble. It was so natural for Chen Xiao to mete out punishments on someone this way. ¡°Tongxin, please follow me back after this meeting. I have something to discuss with you. Also, don¡¯t let Chen Hao know that we have met!¡± Chen Xiao said while chewing on gum again. ¡°Okay, sister!¡± As she was talking, an uneasy feeling grew inside... As for Chen Hao. Chen Hao went out early this morning to look for the Master together with Zhu Ming. The Master¡¯s house was located in a scenic mountainous area. It was going to take some time before the results were ready. Therefore, Zhu Ming and Su Ziyue were waiting on top of the mountain. On the other hand, Chen Hao went off to give his sister a call. He had onlye to know about his sister¡¯s returnst night. He had been thinking about visiting his sister once she returned. After all, it had been such a long time since they had met, and Chen Hao had missed her a great deal. However, his sister had a meeting to attend. Originally, she had nned to meet Chen Hao during the meeting. But Chen Hao had to run some errands for his father. Therefore, Chen Xiao did not talk much over the phone. After ending their conversation, Chen Hao was ready to head back. Along the journey, he took the opportunity to enjoy the scenery around him. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Suddenly, someone was calling out his name. Chen Hao turned around and couldn¡¯t help feeling shocked at the sight he saw. Several youngsters were having fun at the scenic spot beside him. Obviously, they were spending their holiday here. They were not just some random strangers. They were Hu Huimin, Shen Junwen and his friend Wang Jian. The others were his high school ssmates who used to join the samepetition as him. They were Wang Wen and Liang Meng. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s really him. What a coincidence! We are bumping into him everywhere!¡± Hu Huimin spoke with a forced smile. ording to Wang Jian, this scenic spot was very reputable. Hence, the facilities in the area charged an exorbitant fee. At the top of the mountain, there was a resort called Summer Vi. Various high-end facilities were provided there. In short, anyone who was not rich enough in Chengdu would not be able to afford the facilities there. The scenery at the foot of the mountain was nothingpared to the scenery at the top of it. Originally, they had nned to go on a trip together. In order to impress the rest, Wang Jian brought them here after sessfully convincing his father. They were also on their way to the top of the mountain when they caught sight of Chen Hao who was wandering around. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao. We wanted to invite you to join us, but we are worried that you might be busy.¡± Wang Wen was on quite good terms with Chen Hao. Hence, she treated him well as they used to be close. ¡°Thanks for inviting me, Wang Wen. I am quite free today, that¡¯s why I decided to walk around.¡± Naturally, Chen Hao treated Wang Wen with respect too. ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re quite resourceful to know about this ce. However, I think you might as well just stick to the scenery at the foot of the mountain.¡± Hu Huimin said with augh. As usual, she never beat around the bush. Judging from Chen Hao¡¯s financial situation, she reckoned he could only afford to go ces where free facilities were offered. Going to luxurious ces would require sufficient wealth or friends like her. Listening to her words, Chen Hao shook his head with a bitter smile. Were there any ces that he could not afford to go now? In spite of Hu Huimin¡¯s scornful words, Chen Hao did not say anything. He decided not to stoop down to her level. Other than Wang Wen, who stopped in her strides to talk to Chen Hao, no one else started a conversation with him. In the end, Liang Meng hauled Wang Wen away to stop her from talking to Chen Hao. Before long, all of them arrived at the luxurious resort. ¡°Good day,dies and gentlemen, may I have your VIP card please?¡± A staff member was standing by the entrance of the resort. ¡°Nah, here you go! We are here as a group.¡± Wang Jian fished out the card and showed it to the staff member. ¡°Very well. Come in, please!¡± The staff member said respectfully. This resort mainly targeted wealthy businessmen and celebrities. Usually, they would invite their clients for aplimentary stay and trip here. Hence, not everyone needed a VIP card to have ess to the ce. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. As soon as Hu Huimin stepped into the resort, she was immediately enchanted by the breathtaking scenery. ¡°Wow, the scenery is amazing!¡± Hu Huimin could not help eximing excitedly. However, just secondster, her face froze. ¡°Damn, he really followed us here!¡± she eximed. Chapter 346 Being Frank And Outspoken Chapter 346 Being Frank And Outspoken The person Hu Huimin saw walking into the luxurious resort was none other than Chen Hao. His eyes were ncing around as he strolled leisurely. Suddenly, Hu Huimin came to realize something. As Chen Hao was following closely behind them when Wang Jian showed his VIP card earlier, the staff member might have mistaken Chen Hao as one of them. Thereafter, he was able to enter the resort. Hu Huimin was rather ufortable with this. ¡°Hey, hey, hey! Chen Hao, how do you get in here? Who let you in?¡± Hu Huimin rebuked furiously. ¡°Ah?¡± Chen Hao was taken aback by Hu Huimin¡¯s disdainful query. Who let me in? He was allowed toe here anytime he liked. After all, when he was here with Zhu Ming, the staff member had already recognized him. Naturally, he would be able to go in and out of the resort at his own free will. Furthermore, there were several vis within the area of the luxurious resort. Both Zhu Ming and Su Ziyue were in one of the vis now. Chen Hao had to pass through the resort to get to the vis. ¡°Damn, aren¡¯t you being too cheap? Don¡¯t you know that you need a VIP card to get in here? Not everyone can enter this resort, do you know that?¡± Hu Huimin''s eyes were filled with contempt as she questioned Chen Hao. ¡°I do know that!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Damn, since you know that, why did you follow us here? Did you manage to sneak in by following behind us when Wang Jian used his VIP card?¡± Hu Huimin reminded his position with a hint of resignation in her voice. Although she did not despise Chen Hao back then, she did slightly look down upon him. But now, Hu Huimin started to resent him. Wang Jian had invited everyone else but Chen Hao. It was uneptable that Chen Hao followed them here. Wang Jian would definitely feel ufortable about this. After all, he knew that Chen Hao was their high school ssmate. If she was the one who organized this trip, she would have been able to tolerate Chen Hao¡¯s brazenness to join them. However, she was worried about how Wang Jian would think of Wang Wen and her now. Because of this, Hu Huimin felt deeply embarrassed. ¡°I did not sneak in here!¡± Chen Hao retorted helplessly. Chen Hao knew for a fact that Hu Huimin had always looked down upon him back then, and even more so now. Nheless, he really did not sneak into the resort. ¡°So you''re saying you did not sneak in. Well, do you have a VIP card?¡± Hu Huimin said with frustration. ¡°Err¡­ I don¡¯t have one!¡± It was also true that Chen Hao did not have the card. ¡°That¡¯s it. I can''t do anything if you refuse to admit your faults!¡± Hu Huimin was so frustrated that she started to stomp her feet. If it weren¡¯t for her status, she would lunge forward and kick him with her foot. At the moment, many prestigious figures were strolling around, with some of them amused from witnessing themotion. This made Hu Huimin and the rest feel awkward. Wang Wen immediately spoke up, ¡°Enough, Huimin. Stop being so harsh on Chen Hao. After all, we were all ssmates. Wang Jian would not mind this, so just let him have fun here!¡± Wang Jian shook his head and let out a forcedugh. ¡°I¡¯m cool with it!¡± ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s so frustrating to see him around here. If it isn¡¯t for Wang Jian¡¯s good temper, he would definitely get kicked out of here!¡± Hu Huimin stomped her feet angrily before walking away. Wang Wen couldn¡¯t help looking at Chen Hao withpassion. After all, Hu Huimin¡¯s words were indeed quite unpleasant. ¡°Chen Hao, you know Huimin¡¯s character well. She has always been this straightforward when she was our leader back then. By now, she has already gotten used to talking this way, so please don¡¯t mind her harsh words.¡± Wang Wen advised him. ¡°Okay, okay!¡± Chen Hao cast a sideway nce at Hu Huimin before nodding his head at Wang Wen. After all, Wang Wen was still very friendly to him. As for Hu Huimin, Chen Hao could easily put her to shame anytime. However, the retaliation would be deemed too childish and petty. On top of that, Chen Hao did not want to get calctive with a girl. ¡°Just don''t take her words to heart. By the way, if you are not too busy at the moment, how about we take a seat over there and have a little chat? After the National College Entrance Examination, I''ve asked around about you. You''re quite impressive to have enrolled into Jin Ling College. I have always been sure that you would make it big in the future!¡± Wang Wen said to Chen Hao. Back in their high school days, Wang Wen admired and respected Chen Hao a lot. After all, he was really hardworking and had really outstanding academic results. Furthermore, Chen Hao was really persistent in everything he did. Especially when the two of them imed the first prize in apetition together as a team. At that moment, Wang Wen was holding onto Chen Hao¡¯s hand, and the both of them were very excited. In fact, Wang Wen started to have feelings for Chen Hao at one point. She would love to see him seed in such an adverse condition. However, her feelingssted very briefly. After all, Chen Hao was too poor. She treated him well but she did not try to pursue him. Wang Wen did not look down upon Chen Hao. However, just like other girls out there, she fancied more Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. heroic characters. ¡°I¡­¡± Chen Hao did not want to have any interaction with Hu Huimin. Instinctively, he nned to turn down her invitation. However, Wang Wen had intended to have a chat with him since they first bumped into each other yesterday. After so many years, Chen Hao thought it was about time for them to catch up too. Since Wang Wen had already invited him, Chen Hao felt bad to turn her down. After all, the investigation about the jade bracelet was still ongoing. To avoid letting Wang Wen down, Chen Hao nodded his head in agreement. ¡°Wang Wen, you!¡± At that moment, Hu Huimin and the rest were busy snapping photos next to the hot spring pond. At the sight of Wang Wen together with Chen Hao, Hu Huimin was stunned and med Wang Wen for bringing Chen Hao along. ¡°Come on, since Chen Hao is already here, we should have a chat. It¡¯s such a rare asion!¡± Wang Wen added immediately. ¡°Hmph!¡± Hu Huimin turned her head to the other side. As for Wang Jian, he did not mind Chen Hao¡¯s presence. Looking at Shen Junwen and Hu Huimin, he asked, ¡°How¡¯s this ce? The scenery is not bad at all, right?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± said Hu Huimin. ¡°Wang Jian, if you have the chance to visit Jin Ling City, I would ask for my father¡¯s help and bring you to the Hot Spring Vi in Jin Ling City. You guys cane along too!¡± said Shen Junwen. ¡°The Hot Spring Vi in Jin Ling City? That is the most high-end ce there! Wang Jian, I am sure you would be satisfied with the luxury of the ce. Even though I am from Jin Ling City myself, I¡¯ve never been there. The ce isuded by many. After all, not everyone could visit that ce!¡± Hu Huimin let out a sigh with resignation. Apparently, Shen Junwen¡¯s father could get them in with his connections. Shen Junwen patted his chest and promised, ¡°That¡¯s not a problem. I would bring you guys there. Both of us, plus Wang Jian, Wang Wen and Liang Meng! Five of us will go there some time!¡± This time, Shen Junwen deliberately mentioned their names. ¡°Great, I will definitely be there to take a look at the Hot Spring Vi in Jin Ling!¡± ¡°Well, everyone would need a pass to get into the Hot Spring Vi. No one would be able to sneak in!¡± Hu Huimin shot a scornful look at Chen Hao. Hehe. Chen Hao knew very well that Hu Huimin was mocking him. However, what else could he say? Did he really need to reveal that he used to be the owner of Jin Ling''s Hot Spring Vi? ¡°Eh? Look at that girl, who is she? Hey, Wang Wen,e over here and take a look!¡± Suddenly, Hu Huimin was agitatedly pointing at a girl who was having fun beside the pond. Chapter 347 Things Got Serious Chapter 347 Things Got Serious ¡°She¡¯s the famous celebrity Yang Yufei! Damn, she¡¯s here!¡± Hu Huimin said in surprise. ¡°Some celebrities whoe to Chengdu to participate in events like to visit this scenic spot, yet I didn¡¯t expect such a famous celebrity like Yang Yufei to be here!¡± Wang Wen said delightedly. Wang Wen knew a lot of things about Chengdu. After all, she had studied as well as started her business here. ¡°Haha! If I remember correctly, Huimin, who has never been a fan of idols, worshipped only Yang Yufei. When she was in high school, her bedside wall was covered with Yang Yufei¡¯s posters.¡± Hu Huimin nodded her head, ¡°Yes, I like her values. For so many years, she was my role model on self-discipline! I have watched every work of hers!¡± ¡°Then what are we waiting for? Look, Huimin, there¡¯s a lot of people asking for her autograph. Let¡¯s ask her too!¡± Wang Wen evidently liked Yang Yufei as well. ¡°Sure, I like Yang Yufei too, let¡¯s go over there together!¡± Wang Jian, Liang Meng and Shen Junwen agreed. After all, as a well-loved celebrity, not only was Yang Yufei admired by many girls, she was also the dream girl of many boys. Of course, Chen Hao liked her as well. She was pretty and had an air of elegance. Most importantly, she was down-to-earth. She seemed to be in a film and televisionpany owned by his sister in Yan Jing City. ¡°Chen Hao,e over here too. Let¡¯s go take a picture with her! We don¡¯t usually have a chance like this!¡± Wang Wen called. Chen Hao nodded and smiled lightly. He didn¡¯t say anything. If he wanted to take a picture with this celebrity, he could call out for her toe over. He wouldn''t need to rush to her. After Wang Wen hollered at Chen Hao, she ran over to Yang Yufei. Chen Hao wanted to take this chance to leave. But when he turned his head around, he saw several girls dressed in fancy clothes with a group of admirers swarming around them in the entertainment area. The girls were especially gorgeous. But they were not celebrities. They seemed more like daughters from rich families as they had bodyguards with them. Many boys who wanted to take a photo with Yang Yufei saw them and stopped in their tracks. Seeing how beautiful the girls were, they nearly drooled. Chen Hao was startled as well. It was not because the leader of the group was too beautiful. It was because at first nce, Chen Hao thought that she was Su Ziyue. If the highest mark was ten, the girl had scored a seven in her simrity with Su Ziyue. When she walked past the gaping Chen Hao, the girl seemed to have felt Chen Hao¡¯s stare on her. And so, she eyed him with contempt. Then, she left. They look really alike! Chen Hao thought. He then strolled over to a deck near the hill and stared at that group of girls who seemed to be rich and powerful. Chen Hao was startled again when he saw the car they took to go down the hill. An array of lengthened Rolls-Royce Phantom was waiting for them like a fleet of solemn battle vehicles in formation. ¡°Hehe, they really are rich. I made so much money today. If only there were more rich young women who woulde here in the future!¡± A chubby middle-aged man, who stood beside Chen Hao, looked at the leaving fleet and counted the money in his hand happily. He seemed to be an unlicensed tour guide. By showing the group around, he had already earned tens of thousands. ¡°Hey, man. Who are they?¡± Chen Hao asked hurriedly. The chubby man saw that Chen Hao was nicely dressed, so he sized him up before answering, ¡°Ahem, how would I know? I only know that they¡¯re rich and powerful!¡± The chubby man continued counting money. Chen Hao understood what he meant. So he took two thousand from his pocket and gave it to him, ¡°Tell me!¡± The chubby man took the money excitedly and said, ¡°Just remember that you gave this to me voluntarily, I didn¡¯t ask for it! This girl you are asking about has been here twice. As to which family she belonged to, though I have been here quite some time, I really don¡¯t know. I only know that she¡¯s rich and powerful, even though I had asked around already!¡± As soon as he finished, he scuttled away quickly. F*ck! Chen Hao was speechless. One could tell from a nce that this chubby man wasn¡¯t being honest with him. He had to know something. This girl looked really alike with Su Ziyue. Could this be a lead? Chen Hao thought. Just when he was about to run after the chubby man to ask for more information, he heard a noise beside the fountain. ¡°Move aside! Young Master Liu is here! Everyone, move aside!¡± Chen Hao looked over in that direction. There were several people, who looked to be bodyguards, pushing away the crowd that was taking photos with Yang Yufei. A rich Young Master then strutted over with his hands in his pockets. When many locals saw this young master, they tactfully stood aside. Yang Yufei was preparing to take a photo with Hu Huimin, who waited for quite some time, when one of the bodyguards made Hu Huimin drop her phone. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Hu Huimin asked angrily. ¡°What do you mean ¡®what am I doing¡¯? Our Young Master Liu is looking for Yang Yufei, now scram!¡± The bodyguard growled. ¡°Huimin,e back here!¡± At this moment, Wang Jian, whose face was already pale, called Hu Huimin in a flurry. Though they have known each other for a short period of time, Wang Jian knew that Hu Huimin had a hot temper. So, he pulled Hu Huimin aside. ¡°What?¡± Hu Huimin asked with a stoic expression. ¡°This Young Master Liu is Liu Yuxiang. He¡¯s from one of the most powerful families in Chengdu. He seems to have some business with Yang Yufei. Don¡¯t you dare interfere!¡± Wang Jian said hurriedly. Chen Hao heard everything. From the looks of it, Liu Yuxiang seemed like a bully. ¡°What do you want?¡± Yang Yufei¡¯s manager stepped forward to negotiate with them. Chen Hao heard them discussing and got a rough idea of their argument. Liu Yuxiang¡¯spany had asked Yang Yufei to endorse their brand but she rejected their offer. Now that she was endorsing their rivalpany, Liu Yuxiang started panicking. It seemed as if it was aplicated matter. Yang Yufei had been blocked on the road by cars during this trip to Chengdu, forcing her to cancel the endorsement. But Yang Yufei didn¡¯t agree. So, they fell into a dispute over this matter which led to thismotion. As Liu Yuxiang was considered influential, no one dared to take photos of this scene. ¡°I said I won¡¯t agree to it!¡± Yang Yufei was quite stubborn and she didn¡¯t back down. ¡°Damn, then don¡¯t me me for being impolite!¡± Following that, a few guards surged forward to hit Yang Yufei. However, Yang Yufei¡¯s bodyguards quickly rushed forward to protect her. Thus, a fight began. ¡°Ah!¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Some of the girls screamed in fright. ¡°They¡¯re so barbarous!¡± Hu Huimin panicked as well. Just then, she saw Liu Yuxiang reaching over to pull Yang Yufei¡¯s hair. Hu Huimin ran over and pulled Yang Yufei aside. It wasn¡¯t clear if the powerful Liu Yuxiang had slipped in the midst of everything. He did not manage to grab onto her and crashed head first onto the rocky stairs. Bang! Immediately, Liu Yuxiang¡¯s face was covered in blood! ¡°Young Master Liu!¡± The bodyguards shouted in terror. Chapter 348 Asking For Help Chapter 348 Asking For Help Overwhelmed by fury, Liu Yuxiang had intended to act more domineering. With one hand tucked into the pocket of his trousers, he nned to teach Yang Yufei a lesson. However, he did not expect to miss the target. At that moment, blood was flowing down from his forehead. The bodyguards were deeply shocked. None of them moved an inch. Yang Yufei¡¯s face turned pale in an instant. Things would beplicated now that blood was shed, especially so as it happened in Chengdu. ¡°Don¡¯t let that girl go! She had beaten Young Master Liu!¡± One of the bodyguards shouted while pointing at Hu Huimin. ¡°I-I didn¡¯t!¡± Hu Huimin was bewildered. She just wanted to stop them from fighting and did not get physical. However, the bodyguards had already deemed her as the assant. The resort staff immediately came over to disperse the onlookers after knowing about this incident. Medical personnel were sent over to attend to Liu Yuxiang¡¯s wounds. Meanwhile, the resort manager was present at the scene to conduct mediation. Within seconds, only a few people were left at the scene. As Wang Wen, Chen Hao and the rest were seen as Hu Huimin¡¯s friends, they were not allowed to leave. ¡°Young Master Liu, we will send you to the nearest hospital to wrap up your wounds.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let them go!¡± Covering his head, Liu Yuxiang was lifted onto a stretcher by the medical personnel. He shouted at the top of his lungs angrily. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything. Why am I not allowed to go?!¡± Hu Huimin eximed furiously. Isn¡¯t Liu Yuxiang being too unreasonable? At that moment, she looked like she was about to leave. ¡°Miss, I¡¯m afraid all of you would have to stay here until the whole matter is resolved. If you all were to leave like this, we would be held ountable by the Liu family.¡± ¡°I am an eyewitness. She didn¡¯t attack him just now, she merely pulled me away from him!¡± Yang Yufei nodded subtly at Hu Huimin in appreciation before talking to the manager. ¡°Miss Yang, we really can¡¯t do anything about this. However, our resort will prevent simr incidents in the future by all means. As to the oue of this incident, it would be up to the Liu family to decide,¡± said the manager helplessly. Although the incident happened within the area of the resort, it was not within the manager¡¯s capability to make decisions. Wang Jian, who was standing beside them, was so shaken that his forehead was covered with beads of cold sweat. Judging from Liu Yuxiang¡¯s look, Wang Jian reckoned he had never suffered losses in his whole life. This time around, his head was injured. Also, he had already used Hu Huimin of assaulting him. Moreover, Wang Jian was here together with Hu Huimin. Surely, any enmity would be directed toward him as well. His family could not afford to offend the Liu family. Wang Jian was so panic-stricken that he stuttered while talking to his father over the phone. As for Wang Wen, she broke into tears immediately as she had never encountered such a mess in her whole life before. After all, she was just a fresh graduate who barely started her career. She had nevere across so many big shots in her daily life. Obviously, she knew about the Liu family too. Naturally, she was terrified as to what lied ahead of them. Even Liang Meng looked like he was on the verge of crying out of fear while talking to his father over the phone as well. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! After all, you guys never really assaulted him. I will settle everything!¡± Yang Yufei supposed that they were all in their early twenties and looked like they had just graduated. Now, they were involved in this mess because of her. Therefore, she would feel bad if they were left to shoulder the responsibility themselves. Most importantly, Yang Yufei knew that Hu Huimin did not do anything. Hence, she tried to dispel their worry so that they could be less fearful of what was lying ahead of them. On the outside, she looked undaunted. To be frank, she was feeling worried deep down inside. After she spoke, she immediately gave a call to herpany and narrated the whole incident. ¡°Ah? Alright, I understand!¡± After ending the conversation, her face turned bleak. ¡°How was it, Yufei?¡± Hu Huimin asked in an anguish tone. The rest of them surrounded Yang Yufei inquisitively too. Yang Yufei shook her head and said, ¡°The staff over at mypany were trying hard toe up with a solution. They had informed Zhu Ming, Director Zhu already. However, thepany is worried that even Director Zhu would not be able to contain this as Liu Yuxiang had suffered quite a serious injury this time. After all, it¡¯s unlikely for Director Zhu to have a fall-out with the Liu family over me since I¡¯m merely an actress in hispany. Although Liu Yuxiang is the one who instigated this, he was the one who got injured in the end. Hence, this matter will be a hard nut to crack!¡± Yang Yufei, too, started to get concerned. Zhu Ming would be able to resolve this matter if Liu Yuxiang was not injured. However, it was a Also, Zhu Ming would rather not disturb the parentpany, Chen¡¯s Group, over this matter. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to resign. Therefore, no one would be willing to take over this hot potato over a celebrity and a few of her fans. This had turned into an awkward situation. ¡°T-Then, what now?¡± Wang Wen said in between sobs. ¡°Don¡¯t you guys panic, I would have to rely on my own connections now. Miss Liang, do you have any idea who we can turn to?¡± Yang Yufei asked her manager, Miss Liang. After a brief pause, Miss Liang stated, ¡°Other than celebrities, we could probably turn to this person. Your problem would be solved at once if he is willing to help you!¡± ¡°Ah? Who¡¯s it?¡± Yang Yufei probed immediately. ¡°It¡¯s Huang Yonghao, Young Master Huang. He asked for your contact number after your performance for that massive party he organized. Didn¡¯t he say that you are weed to look for him regarding any problems?¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Ah! Huang Yonghao. Is he the rich Young Master Huang Yonghao from Suzhou?¡± Obviously, Hu Huimin and the rest had heard about Huang Yonghao. They exchanged looks among themselves, looking joyous. It would be best if Young Master Huang was willing to help! ¡°That¡¯s the only way to go. Young Master Huang acquainted with many big shots. Your performance master has various means to help you. With a call, he would be able to solve everything!¡± ¡°Very well, I will give it a try!¡± Yang Yufei nodded her head. She sent a voice call request to Huang Yonghao. Not long after, the request was epted. Feeling surprised, Yang Yufei then borated the whole matter to him. She hung up the phone and said with a smile, ¡°Great, Young Master Huang has promised he would pull some strings and help us solve this matter!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Hu Huimin and the rest were overjoyed. Especially so for Hu Huimin, who had to bear some responsibility herself and could not afford to be impeded by any obstacles. While waiting for Young Master Huang¡¯s call, Hu Huimin and the rest circled around Yang Yufei. They then heard her talking about the happenings during the party held by Young Master Huang. It was the first time in their lives to be able to talk at length with a celebrity. Besides, they had gone through something together with her. All of them were very excited. As for Chen Hao, he was feeling slightly out of ce. He was even ready to offer his help if Wang Wen and the rest were to encounter any problems. After all, Yang Yufei was working under hispany. He could not just watch them suffer. Luckily Yonghao was willing to help, and the results would be the same. Before long, he received a WeChat message. It was sent by Huang Yonghao. ¡°Brother, I need a favor from you! Hehe!¡± Chen Hao could not help but force a smile. Although he was almost sure what the favor was, he still asked him as though he knew nothing. As expected, Huang Yonghao had asked Chen Hao to give Li Zhenguo some instructions to appease the Liu family. For some matters, Huang Yonghao would turn to Li Zhenguo instead of his own father. However, he found it embarrassing after asking for his help too many times. Therefore, he could only turn to Chen Hao. ¡°Okay then!¡± After letting out a forcedugh, Chen Hao told Li Zhenguo everything and thetter immediately started taking action. After around half an hour. Yang Yufei, who was anxiously waiting for Young Master Huang¡¯s call, was about to send a message to him for an update. At that moment, the resort manager approached them. ¡°Miss Yang, I have something to tell you. Just now, Young Master Liu has decided to let the matter go! All of you are allowed to leave now,¡± said the manager. ¡°Very well, thanks!¡± Yang Yufei heaved out a sigh of relief. Wang Wen and Hu Huimin exchanged a joyous nce. Young Master Huang was really impressive! Chapter 349 The Fang Family in Chengdu Chapter 349 The Fang Family in Chengdu ¡°Yufei, you really have vast connections! Thank you so much!¡± Hu Huimin said excitedly. ¡°You don¡¯t need to thank me. It is I who should be grateful toward you. Originally, I nned to treat you and your friends to a meal, but I have to rush back to thepany now. How about I leave my contact number with you? You can reach me using this number in the future for anything at all!¡± Of course, Yang Yufei appreciated Hu Huimin¡¯s gesture earlier. Moreover, she was her true fan, so she felt obligated to express her concern. After giving them her contact number, Yang Yufei left the ce. ¡°Huimin, I am so envious of you to be able to interact so closely with your idol!¡± said Wang Wen. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Ahem, enough of this. Let¡¯s go, otherwise it would be awkward if we happen to bump into that bunch of people again!¡± Although Hu Huimin appeared calm on the outside, she was actually thrilled deep down. As they had not much interest in continuing the trip, they were ready to leave the ce. Just then, Hu Huimin turned around and looked at Chen Hao. Chen Hao said, ¡°All of you can leave first. I will stay here for the time being.¡± Chen Hao assumed Hu Huimin was signaling him to leave. ¡°Hehe, why are you assuming that I¡¯m asking you to leave? I¡¯m just thinking about the change in your personality. Back then, you were quite a decent guy with good results despite being rather mediocre. However, you have such a questionable character now. You stick to us when there¡¯s benefits and avoid us once there¡¯s potential harm. You¡¯re outright despicable!¡± criticized Hu Huimin rudely. Wang Wen said, ¡°Don¡¯t be too harsh on him, Huimin. We were all very terrified just now.¡± ¡°Exactly, we were all worried just now. However, I noticed that he was walking at a rather brisk pace when he was following us in here earlier. But when we were in trouble, he hid himself and tried to avoid getting involved. I¡¯ve seen it with my own eyes. Isn¡¯t it infuriating?!¡± Hu Huimin spat angrily. Chen Hao was not trying to sneak off. Instead, he went away to send a WeChat message to Li Zhenguo. Obviously, Hu Huimin got the wrong idea. Chen Hao decided to keep mum instead and let her be. ¡°Let¡¯s go and have a meal. Enough of talking already, Huimin.¡± Wang Jian spoke up at the moment. Thereafter, Liang Meng hauled Wang Wen away too. Sigh. Chen Hao put on a bitter smile. He checked his phone. Damn, he had done them a favor for them and got nothing in return but Hu Huimin¡¯s reproachful words. At the moment, he was rather upied by Su Ziyue¡¯s matter. Therefore, he did not take Hu Huimin¡¯s words to heart. He immediately ascended the mountain. As he was about to enter the vi, an elderly man was walking out at the same time. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± The surname of this elderly man was Wu. He was a renowned collector of antiques and calligraphy art from the Southwest region. At the sight of Chen Hao, the elderly man greeted him with a smile. ¡°Good afternoon, Master Wu. Do you have an idea about the origins of the jade bracelet?¡± asked Chen Hao. Master Wu nodded his head before saying, ¡°Yes, I do. I might have seen a jade bracelet of this kind before, but I was not too sure about that. After some thorough checking, I can confirm that this jade bracelet belongs exclusively to the Fang Family in Chengdu. Therefore, I suppose the owner of this jade bracelet is Fang Mengxin, the eldest grandson of the Fang Family.¡± ¡°The Fang Family in Chengdu?¡± Chen Hao nodded his head before adding, ¡°I have done some research on every renowned family in Chengdu, but I¡¯ve note across a Fang Family.¡± ¡°Hehe, of course you found nothing, Young Master Chen. The Fang Family had beenying low for decades already and no trace of the family could be found. Back then, the Fang Family used to be a very prominent family in Chengdu and even the whole of China. However, they vanished into thin air over night! There are no updates avable on the family and gradually, no one talks about them anymore.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Both Chen Hao and Su Ziyue were slightly disappointed. Zhu Ming furrowed his brows and said, ¡°Such an impressive family went unheard of in such a brief period of time. I am sure something happened to them. Is it possible that the entire family went bankrupt and had nothing left?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. If they were bankrupt, they wouldn¡¯t have the ability to stop the media from reporting news about them.¡± Chen Hao shook his head. Master Wu nodded his head andughed. ¡°Young Master Chen is right. All of us from the previous generations believe that the Fang Family did not go bankrupt. On the contrary, we suspect that the family is still going strong and they are still in Chengdu! Some people reckon that most of the businesses owned by renowned families in Chengdu are subsidiaries of the Fang Family. However, nothing fruitful came out from various investigations done on the family.¡± ¡°That¡¯s strange. Why do the Fang Family need toy low despite still going strong financially? Combining all the clues gathered previously, some of the members of the Fang Family are still active. From the previous investigation carried out by Li Zhenguo, Mr. Wei hade across a very brilliant young man wearing this kind of jade bracelet in Liang City.¡± Chen Hao thought of the girl he hade across at the resort. She came from a very prestigious family, and she looked simr to Su Ziyue. Hiss¡­ Could she be someone from the Fang Family? Chen Hao had a feeling that he was very close to finding out the truth. After thanking Master Wu, Chen Hao went back together with Su Ziyue. Of course, he had instructed Zhu Ming to carry out an investigation on that girl. All Chen Hao said was that he would like to know the recent updates on the Fang Family. He did not tell Zhu Ming any other details of the matter. ¡°Grandson, how¡¯s the investigation going? Why are you sote?¡± Mr. Qin walked out and asked as soon as they were back to the vi specially arranged for them. Chen Hao reckoned that Mr. Qin might have some clues about the Fang Family since he originated from Chengdu and he was quite a capable and reputable man here. ¡°Oh right, Mr. Qin, do you know if there¡¯s a Fang Family in Chengdu back then?¡± Chen Hao asked while eating some fruits handed to him by Su Ziyue. ¡°What? The Fang Family? Are you looking for someone from the family?¡± Mr. Qin widened his eyes in surprise. ¡°Yes, do you know something about the family? asked Chen Hao. Su Ziyue handed some fruits over to Mr. Qin and said, ¡°Mr. Qin, please tell us everything you know about the family. This is very important to us!¡± ¡°Ah? I-I know nothing! I¡¯ve never heard of such a family after being in Chengdu for so many years.¡± Mr. Qin shook his head. He looked puzzled. Chen Hao and Su Ziyue exchanged a nce. ¡°Do you really have no idea?¡± ¡°I really have no idea!¡± Mr. Qin took a bite out of the apple. However, the investigation had note to a dead end yet. In Chen Hao¡¯s opinion, that girl at the resort might be his most important lead now. It would be great if he was able to find out that girl¡¯s background. However, after various means carried out by Zhu Ming, nothing could be found on that girl still. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Disheartened, Su Ziyue said, ¡°Chen Hao, what should we do now?¡± Su Ziyue was desperate to find out the person who abandoned her back then as well as their reason for doing so. As for Chen Hao, he would like to know about the rtionship between that person and his father, and ascertain whether Su Ziyue was his birth sister. After a short pause, an idea shed across his mind. ¡°Don¡¯t panic, Ziyue, we still have a chance!¡± Chapter 350 Encounter At The Port Chapter 350 Encounter At The Port ¡°What chance do we have?¡± Su Ziyue asked in shock. Chen Hao thought about the dirty guide he had bumped into earlier that day. It might be a chance. That cunning man had conned 1,000 out of him. At that time, Chen Hao nned to go after his money. However, Wang Wen had called for him and that was why he did not pursue the matter further. Still, Chen Hao had a feeling that the guide knew something. Judging from what he said, he provided his services for that girl twice before. Hence, Chen Hao decided to interrogate him. It was not hard to look for him. In the afternoon, Chen Hao drove to the dirty guide¡¯s ce with some of his bodyguards. Coincidentally, that guide was at home. At the sight of Chen Hao, he got very nervous. After all, he indeed conned 1,000 out of Chen Hao as he thought that he was not local. Now, Chen Hao was already here at his house together with some bodyguards d in ck uniforms. ¡°Hehe, Sir, w-what are you doing here?¡± The middle-aged chubby guy said nervously. ¡°Nothing much, I just wanted to pay you a visit!¡± Chen Hao had one hand tucked into the pocket of his trousers while he was talking. Without waiting for the guide¡¯s invitation, he straightaway stomped into the house and plopped down onto the sofa. Looking at therge group of bodyguards, it was obvious that they were not ones to be trifled with. Chen Hao sat on the sofa and leisurely switched through the channels on the television with the remote control as if he was in his own house. All the while, he did not say a single word. The chubby guy gulped down his saliva as uneasiness grew within him. He immediately came over with a patronizing smile and said, ¡°Sir, ahem, I don¡¯t want that money anymore. As you can see, my financial condition is poor and I have to support both my parents and my children. I needed money desperately at that time. To be honest, I really did fleece you for that money. Since I have not yet spent it, I will return the full amount to you!¡± After all, he was very experienced in what he did. He knew exactly what to do ording to different situations. Rubbing his nose, Chen Hao spoke with a smile, ¡°I think you¡¯re mistaken. I am not here to ask for that money back. On the contrary, if you¡¯re willing to provide me some information, you are even entitled to receive a handsome sum from me!¡± The chubby guy giggled and said, ¡°You still want to know more about that rich girl? Sir, why do you want to look for her?¡± ¡°Eh?¡± The bodyguards standing beside Chen Hao red at him before Chen Hao even said anything. ¡°Oh, I see. I shouldn¡¯t ask what I am not supposed to know. Well, although I¡¯ve seen that rich girl before, I only know that she is very rich and influential. I have no idea about her background. One thing for sure, she is around the age as you are and she goes to the same school as my son. My son would know about her!¡± The chubby guy decided to juste clean as he knew very well that Chen Hao would not stand any nonsense. At that moment, he got onto his feet and shouted throughout the house, ¡°Taishan,e on out! This guy is not looking for trouble!¡± ¡°Ah? Coming!¡± The door of one of the bedrooms then opened. A chubby boy with a simr physique of the chubby guy walked out of the room. Judging from his words, it seemed like his house was frequented by enemies. ¡°Tell Mr. Chen about that rich girl from your school!¡± said the chubby guy. The chubby boy nodded before starting to borate earnestly, ¡°She is quite a mysterious presence at school. Moreover, she is very powerful and influential. She is from the ssroom next to mine and I see her sometimes when we have joint sses. However, she has never spoken to me. Everyone at school is terrified of her and no one dares to even talk to her as she is surrounded by several bodyguards wherever she goes. Even the teachers are afraid of her!¡± ¡°Hehe, but sometimes I deliberately sit at the row next to where her buddy and her sit. From what I have overheard, they love to travel around the country. I would then give my father a tip to wait for them wherever they went.¡± The chubby boy was a shrewd one too, having pulled off simr tricks at school to find jobs for his father. The curiosity in Chen Hao intensified after listening to the chubby boy. From what he said, that girl was indeed very secretive. Coupled with the clues he had gathered before, Chen Hao had an inkling that the Fang Family was indeed still going strong as per what Master Wu predicted. However, it appeared that they were hiding from something. If he were to probe recklessly now, he might alert the other party and his n might backfire. ¡°Would she attend sses everyday on time?¡± An idea hit Chen Hao before he asked. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t say everyday but her buddy and her attended school quite frequently! Sir, do you want to look for her? Sigh, to be frank, you stand no chance to meet her. Back then, many rich guys have tried befriending that girl, thinking they were able to because they came from rich and powerful families. However, for some unknown reason, they all decided to stay within their own territory in the end. Usually, everyone would prefer to avoid her by all means. She¡¯s considered quite an unapproachable beauty.¡± ¡°Then, what¡¯s her name? Is her surname Fang?¡± Chen Hao brought up hisst question. The chubby boy shook his head before continuing, ¡°The teacher never mentioned her name, and no one knows it too. However, I heard her buddy calling her Jiannan. As for her surname, I really have no idea.¡± ¡°Very well!¡± Chen Hao shook his head helplessly. In fact, Chen Hao was not the least bit afraid of the power that girl possessed. Of course, it would be lucky if he would even get to see her again. At that moment, Chen Hao had already made up his mind. ¡°Which ss are you in now?¡± Chen Hao asked that chubby boy. The chubby boy then told him everything about his age and his course. In the end, Chen Hao made a gesture to the bodyguards to leave some money behind before leaving. Since he would rather not alert the other party, Chen Hao decided on an indirect approach instead. He would find a way to get to that girl who was called Jiannan through the school. As long as she remained under his control, he would be able to follow along the path and locate the woman called Liu Mengxin. That¡¯s it! After getting back home, he immediately instructed Zhu Ming to make some arrangements at the Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. school. It was an easy task for Zhu Ming. At the same time. Over in Hong Kong. The Television Station Annual Anniversary Celebration had juste to an end. Chen Xiao had stayed on for only a short period of time before leaving. Previously, Chen Xiao had asked Su Tongxin to look for her after the event ended. Therefore, Su Tongxin reminded herself not to bete. In the evening, she took a taxi to a port. ording to Chen Xiao¡¯s staff¡¯s instruction, she was supposed to wait there. However, she did not see any trace of boats around. As far as her vision could reach, she could only see the sea ahead of her. ¡°Let¡¯s wait over here. You girls have no idea how much Young Master Yang has done in order to give us a warm wee. Hahaha!¡± At this time, the voices of joyous discussion among some girls could be heard. Su Tongxin averted her gaze in the direction of the sound. There were around four to five girlsing toward her. All of them looked somewhat excited. ¡°Eh?¡± When Su Tongxin¡¯s eyes fell on one of the girls, she was dumbfounded. As for that girl, she had obviously noticed Su Tongxin¡¯s presence too at the port. She immediately paused in her strides. From her facial expression, she was astonished as well¡­ Chapter 351 Meeting Zhao Yifan Again Chapter 351 Meeting Zhao Yifan Again ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Su Tongxin and the girl spoke almost at the same time. Apparently, both of them were surprised to see each other. ¡°Yifan, who¡¯s she? Why does she look so familiar to me?¡± One of the girls asked curiously. Yes, the leader of the group of girls was Zhao Yifan. ¡°Oh, she is Su Tongxin, the only one from our school who got epted to do an internship at the best television station in Hong Kong,¡± Zhao Yifan said in a voice tinged with jealousy. Being a student from the Broadcasting Department of Jin Ling College, Zhao Yifan had also been given an opportunity to gain real-life experience from variouspanies and organizations. The Broadcasting Department consisted of thirty students. All of them would be assigned to television stations or press and publicationpanies ording to predetermined quotas. However, only the student with the most outstanding academic results would be eligible to receive the best cement. ¡°Yifan, is she the girlfriend of your ex-boyfriend whom you have mentioned before?¡± Several girls standing beside Zhao Yifan started to see Su Tongxin with different emotions in their eyes. After all, they were besties. It went without saying that they would take Zhao Yifan¡¯s side. At that moment, both Chen Hao¡¯s current girlfriend and ex-girlfriend were present at the same ce and time. This itself was an awkward situation. Zhao Yifan concealed nothing from her besties. During the period of time when the girls just got to Hong Kong, they talked about literally everything N?velDrama.Org is the owner. among themselves. Mostly, their conversations revolved around boys and they hadpared each other¡¯s boyfriends to their own. In fact, Zhao Yifan¡¯s first boyfriend, Zhuang Qiang, was not in the same league as their boyfriends. In hindsight, Zhao Yifan had even denied the existence of that rtionship. After all, she got into a rtionship with Zhuang Qiang because of a misunderstanding. She had mistaken him as the one who had helped her. As it turned out, Chen Hao was the one who had helped her instead of Zhuang Qiang. When she thought about it, it was unlikely that there were any other guys out there as excellent as Chen Hao. Chen Hao was a very mature and humble guy. Zhao Yifan admired his temperament a great deal. Although her rtionship with Chen Hao merelysted for a day, Zhao Yifan still imed him as her one and only ex-boyfriend. All of her housemates were shocked when they got to know about Chen Hao¡¯s true identity. They thought it was too bad to have missed out on him. Hehe! Zhao Yifan¡¯s heart started to ache at the thought of Chen Hao. If those mishaps had not happened, she would have been part of a wealthy family by now. But... Sigh! Subsequently, the mention of Chen Hao¡¯s name was sufficient to put her in a gloomy mood for one whole day, and it made her feel like she was in a fog. Therefore, she made the decision to go to Hong Kong in an attempt to avoid seeing things or people who might trigger her to think of Chen Hao. Now, an indescribable emotion creeped up at the sight of Su Tongxin. However, that kind of feeling had already faded a lotpared to before. ¡°Are you and Chen Hao fine?¡± Zhao Yifan asked with some arrogance. ¡°Yes, we¡¯re good!¡± Su Tongxin couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly jealous at the sight of Zhao Yifan. After all, Chen Hao had confessed his feelings to Zhao Yifan before in one of the corridors at school because of some misunderstanding. Although she knew that nothing had happened between them, she was still quite ufortable around Zhao Yifan. So, Su Tongxin would rather not tell her that she was having a fight with Chen Hao. ¡°Great then! I wish the both of you well!¡± With a smirk, Zhao Yifan looked as though she couldn¡¯t care less. If their encounter happened a month earlier, Zhao Yifan would surely feel upset at the sight of Su Tongxin. She would be consumed by jealousy and envy. She was envious of Su Tongxin who had taken her boyfriend away. She had robbed her of the wealthy and luxurious life she deserved. After all, Chen Hao was interested in her in the first ce. ¡°Hmph, we all know that you¡¯ve gotten yourself a rich boyfriend from Jin Ling City. Our Yifan is not too bad herself. Young Master Yang from Hong Kong is interested in her. Both Young Master Yang and Young Master Chen are from simr prominent families which own listedpanies. They are not too different from one another. On top of that, Young Master Yang graduated from Harvard!¡± The other girls started makingparisons between the two guys. They were trying hard to build up Zhao Yifan¡¯s self-esteem. ¡°I see!¡± Su Tongxin merely nodded her head. This was what made Zhao Yifan decide to change. Back then, she med herself for looking down upon Chen Hao, who turned out to be a rich second generation heir. This was the main reason why their rtionship never took ce. She couldn¡¯t be more remorseful of her attitude toward Chen Hao. However, Zhao Yifan¡¯s horizons widened after detaching herself from the circles of people in Jin Ling. There were many other guys out there as excellent and as wealthy as Chen Hao. Therefore, she didn¡¯t have much feelings toward Chen Hao now. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s the cruise ship!¡± All of a sudden, one of Zhao Yifan¡¯s besties jumped excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s Young Master Yang¡¯s cruise ship. Yifan, he is going to bring us around with his cruise ship!¡± A very extravagant-looking cruise ship was seen floating on the sea. A young guy dressed in a bathrobe with a ss of wine in his hand was standing on its deck. He was probably the Young Master Yang that the girls mentioned. ¡°Young Master Yang is so dashing!¡± ¡°Exactly. Yifan is such a lucky girl. Through a simple tea party, she had gotten acquainted with Young Master Yang. Yifan, just ept him as your boyfriend!¡± The girls were so excited that there were almost tears at the corners of their eyes. Zhao Yifan did not say a word. She was staring at Young Master Yang, hair blowing in the wind, with a grin on her face. Soon, the cruise ship docked. Young Master Yang hopped off the deck. ¡°So sorry that I¡¯mte, Yifan!¡± Young Master Yang stared at Zhao Yifan with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s okay!¡± Zhao Yifan tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear delicately. ¡°Young Master Yang, when can we start the cruise ship party?¡± The rest of the girls cried enthusiastically. ¡°We can start any minute¡­ Huh?¡± He ended his words with a distracted face. He had caught sight of Su Tongxin, who was standing at the side. She was much more elegant ¡°Yifan, is thisdy one of your friends?¡± Young Master Yang took off his sses at once and asked in shock. ¡°Nope, I think she is just some stranger who is strolling on the beach,¡± Zhao Yifan answered with a hint of annoyance. ¡°What a coincidence, prettydy. How about you join us for the party on my cruise ship?¡± Suddenly, Young Master Yang bowed slightly at Su Tongxin and acted gentlemanly. ¡°Thanks, but I think I will pass!¡± Su Tongxin gave an indifferent reply in the face of Young Master Yang¡¯s enthusiastic invitation. Young Master Yang¡¯s face froze for a second. He had never been rejected by girls in his whole life. And now, he was being rejected in front of so many people. ¡°Pretty girl, I don¡¯t think you know who I am,¡± Young Master Yang said as he shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile. However, he did not insist on inviting her along. ¡°Young Master Yang, she is already taken. Her boyfriend is Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City!¡± One of the girls offered. ¡°Oh? No wonder!¡± Young Master Yang let out a bitterugh before continuing, ¡°However, the influence of a tycoon from Jin Ling would be confined to the area of Jin Ling City! I¡¯m sorry if you¡¯re not going to join us. Yifan, let¡¯s go. I will bring you girls to enjoy the night breeze on my ship!¡± Young Master Yang said while looking at Zhao Yifan. Zhao Yifan was nodding with a smile and looking at Su Tongxin triumphantly at the same time. Her eyes were trying to convey a message to Su Tongxin. Did you see that? Even though the guy I missed out on had turned out to be excellent, I have better men going after me! As for you, Su Tongxin, even though the level of your beauty is impressive even to girls, you¡¯re still a loser. ¡°Ah! Yifan, take a look at that... W-What is that?¡± At that moment, the girls began to scream all of a sudden. This time around, their screams were out of shock instead of excitement! Chapter 352 Zhao Yifan Nearly Fainted Chapter 352 Zhao Yifan Nearly Fainted The crowd was surprised by the sound and raised their heads. They saw that under the dim light of dusk, dozens of first-rate luxurious cruise ships were sailing on the ocean. Why were they called first-rate? It was because the crowd thought that Young Master Yang¡¯s vessel was already the fanciest, but one look at the dozens of cruise ships that glittered like gctic armada made them change their minds. It looked very impressive indeed. ¡°Oh my god! How much does one ship cost?¡± The girls were thrilled and shouted with glee. Su Tongxin was startled as well. Young Master Yang was bewildered and he gaped at the sight. ¡°Young Master Yang! Are these the cruise ships for our party tonight? Oh, this is so exciting!¡± One of the girls tugged Young Master Yang¡¯s arm excitedly. This was because a cruise ship party of this size was usually reserved for the rich and famous. Ordinary people could only watch from the television. They didn¡¯t think that they would be able to see such a spectacle this time. Zhao Yifan paled as well. She was obviously shocked. ¡°N-No, these cruise ships are designed by world ss designers and should be from Sky Pce Ind. Every ship is extremely valuable!¡± Young Master Yang replied in awe. Though he had encountered many things before, this was the first time that he hade across such a grand scene. ¡°Huh? Young Master Yang, what is Sky Pce Ind?¡± The girls asked. They had never heard of this name. ¡°Sky Pce Ind is a small ind. I heard from my dad that a multimillionaire had bought the entire ind and built a pce as majestic as the sky pce on it, except it¡¯s on sea. It also looks like arge manufacturing site. Anyway, the interior is extremely grand and expensive!¡± ¡°Huh? We have never heard of such a big house? What does it look like? Young Master Yang, can we go visit?¡± The crowd asked hopefully. Young Master Yang shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m afraid not. To be honest, my dad had the privilege of going there once but he only stayed there for a few minutes. He wasn¡¯t allowed to take photos of it. He said that his life was nowplete because he had visited there. I was very shocked because my dad is quite powerful himself, so what kind of ce could make him say such a thing?¡± Everyone was looking forward even more to seeing the ind after hearing what he said. Zhao Yifan thought, If only I could go there and take a look. It was too bad. ¡°Don¡¯t feel sad, everyone. I¡¯ll try to take you guys to see the indter but we can only look from afar!¡± Young Master Yang smiled bitterly. ¡°Yay!¡± The crowd¡¯s spirits were lifted again. Then, the fleet of luxury cruises came to a stop. Zhao Yifan and the others didn¡¯t dare to speak loudly and had obediently stepped aside. ¡°Wow, look at the crew on Sky Pce Cruise. Their uniforms look so expensive!¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s expensive.¡± A girl eximed, ¡°Oh my god, I wouldn¡¯t mind being a staff member there!¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. There really are a lot of different people out there. I thought Chen Hao was the richest person I have ever met, until I met Young Master Yang and broadened my horizons. Now, seeing this fleet, it¡¯s a whole new experience! Zhao Yifan thought as admiration was reflected in her eyes. As for Su Tongxin, she was startled as well and had stepped aside. The cruise ship docked. More than twenty female attendants came down from the deck and stood on two sides of the harbor. The attendants¡¯ clothes were like those of the servants of European aristocrats from thest century. Then, a middle-aged man came down. ¡°Huh? They seem to be walking toward us!¡± A girl eximed. Zhao Yifan held her breath. The middle-aged man walked past them. He stopped in front of a bewildered Su Tongxin respectfully. ¡°Miss Su Tongxin, my Lady is waiting for you!¡± The man bowed deeply and was very polite. He knew exactly what Su Tongxin looked like and where she was. ¡°M-Me?¡± Su Tongxin looked at the dozen cruise ships and was astounded. Chen Xiao, Chen Hao¡¯s sister, was really rich! ¡°Of course, Miss Su Tongxin. We havee here for you specially. We are very sorry to have kept you waiting!¡± Listening to what the butler said, the girl who had just mocked Su Tongxin had her mouth gaping so wide that an egg could fit into her mouth. She was justughing at her. Now, it turned out that Su Tongxin wasn¡¯t even interested in their cruise party. Young Master Yang finally understood the reason for her aloofness. He saw the gap between them now. Remembering how he had unted his wealth to her, he felt like an idiot. As for Zhao Yifan, she couldn¡¯t believe what was happening. ¡°W-Why are you picking her up? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?¡± Zhao Yifan was panicking inwardly. Whether she was really her rival or one in her imagination, no one would want their enemy to be powerful, especially to an extent that was way out of her league. This would make someone feel instantly downcast, which was exactly what Zhao Yifan was feeling. Who was Su Tongxin? She was her rival and girlfriend of her ex-boyfriend. But now, she was being treated in such a fancy way. Zhao Yifan was extremely jealous. So, she couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Haha, this is our Young Master Chen¡¯s girlfriend. Of course she deserves to be treated in such a way!¡± The butler thought that they were Su Tongxin¡¯s friends, so he answered Zhao Yifan¡¯s question. Bam! Zhao Yifan seemed to hear the sound of thunder and she paled instantly. Thest thing she wanted to hear, and the thing that she was most afraid of, had happened. A few seconds ago, she wasn¡¯t this agitated. She was in a flurry to confirm with this butler because she thought perhaps this wasn¡¯t rted to Hao. After all, Su Tongxin¡¯s family wealth was only at a certain level. They weren¡¯t filthy rich or anything. But what if this is rted to Chen Hao? What should I do? Ahhhh! Zhao Yifan was currently in a frenzy. ¡°The Young Master Chen that you were talking about, is he Chen Hao? Since your master is so powerful, why does he or she need to give such a favor to Chen Hao of Jin Ling? Why?¡± Zhao Yifan was hysterical. ¡°You¡¯re right, Miss. Young Master Chen is Chen Hao. Young Master Chen¡¯s sister bought this ind as a temporary residence for vacation!¡± The butler added. ¡°Huh? What?¡± ¡°Since Chen Hao¡¯s sister is that amazing multimillionaire, that would mean that Chen Hao can live on that ind as well, right? Am I right?¡± Zhao Yifan¡¯s eyes had be bloodshot. ¡°Yes, but if Young Master Chen wanted to, he could buy another ind. After all, he wouldn¡¯t care about how much it costs. For our Young Master Chen, this money is only a very small portion of what he owns!¡± ¡°What?¡± Hearing this, the five girls who were standing in a row were all gaping. Zhao Yifan felt like she couldn¡¯t breathe, and she could only be freed from this pain by jumping into the sea. So, Chen Hao was not only the Young Master Chen of Jin Ling after all¡­ Chapter 353 Rules in the Chen Family Chapter 353 Rules in the Chen Family They watched as Su Tongxin left. A lot of girls remained silent. Some showed admiration, and some looked envious. Only Zhao Yifan felt a mix of emotions. If only she had judged a person by his or her virtue, then she would have chosen Chen Hao to start a rtionship. After all, she had never been in a rtionship. She wanted to be in one, so she had asked Ma Xiaonan to introduce someone to her. The night before Ma Xiaonan¡¯s birthday, Ma Xiaonan had called her to talk about Chen Hao. ¡°Yifan,e and meet him. Tomorrow he¡¯s going to be there for my birthday. He¡¯s very devoted and faithful, and also handsome. You said that you wanted your first boyfriend to be honest and obedient! Chen Hao is the best choice. He would be really nice to you!¡± ¡°Tsk, alright. If he is as good as you say, then I¡¯ll meet him tomorrow!¡± Zhao Yifan had looked forward to meeting Chen Hao. She didn¡¯t mind that he was poor. But after Xu Nan told her some anecdotes about Chen Hao once she had met him, Zhao Yifan looked down on him. She thought she would be better off with a rich guy. From that moment on, her perspective on romance had changed. So, she was really just this close to being with Chen Hao. All the glory that could have been hers now belonged to Su Tongxin. Money would only be a string of meaningless numbers to her and she wouldn¡¯t need to save money for luxury items, if¡­ but there were no ifs in this world. It seemed that it was toote. Zhao Yifan clenched her fists, unwilling to ept this reality. ¡°Yifan, they have already left. Let¡¯s go!¡± The girls had lost their interest in hanging around. Were they really going to go on the cruise ship and look at the ind? That ind belonged to Young Master Chen¡¯s sister and they could only stand aside and watch. Just thinking about it made them feel like losers. I won¡¯t stand by and do nothing! Zhao Yifan looked at the cruise ships that were disappearing into the night and swore inwardly. As for Su Tongxin, she was already on the ind at this moment. The entire ind was as Young Master Yang had described. It looked like a huge pce. It was too beautiful and astounding! They had entered the vi but to reach Chen Xiao, they had to travel by car. The drive took about half an hour. Only then did they reach a mansion in the vi. They got out of the car. ¡°Let me see what my sister-inw looks like!¡± ¡°Why are you so anxious? She¡¯sing in a moment!¡± When Su Tongxin got out of the car, she saw a girl ying around with a boy. They were fighting over a mobile phone. The boy was chubby. Su Tongxin had met him before. He was Young Master Huang, also known as Huang Yonghao. ¡°Oh! She¡¯s here!¡± Huang Yonghao saw Su Tongxin and ran over hurriedly. After all, what happened in the daytime already shocked Huang Yonghao badly. ¡°Hi!¡± Su Tongxin nodded her head. ¡°Oh? So she¡¯s Su Tongxin, my godbrother¡¯s girlfriend?¡± That girl ran over as well. Biting her lips, she sized Su Tongxin up curiously. She looked around eighteen years old and was very cute and pretty. ¡°My name is Chen Xiaoman. Hello, Tongxin!¡± Chen Xiaoman shook hands with Su Tongxin. The two hit it off immediately. Apparently, Chen Xiao still had business with Su Tongxin, so Su Tongxin didn¡¯t stay to chat with the two of them. She went inside the mansion. ¡°Xiaoman and Yonghao are the godbrother and godsister of Miss Chen. Yonghao had a better childhood than Xiaoman. Xiaoman was abandoned when she was three years old and Miss Chen Xiao took her under her wing. Miss Chen Xiao dotes on her so Xiaoman is quite yful, but she has a kind heart!¡± The butler said as he led Su Tongxin in. They arrived at a fancy study. The butler knocked on the door. ¡°Come in!¡± Su Tongxin then walked in alone. There was an outdoor balcony connected to the study, and on top of a recliner sat Chen Xiao with a ss of wine in her hand, looking forward. ¡°Miss Chen Xiao, hello!¡± Su Tongxin nodded her head. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so courteous with me, Tongxin. I know all about you. Treat me as your elder sister today. Let¡¯s chill and chat. Besides, you¡¯re my baby brother¡¯s girlfriend. As his sister, I have to make sure you are taken care of! Come and sit!¡± Chen Xiao put her winess down as she stood up. She looked at Su Tongxin, smiling lightly. ¡°In that case, what do you want to talk about?¡± Su Tongxin asked. ¡°Well, I got wind of some details but I think it would be better to hear it from the horse¡¯s mouth. How did you know Chen Hao?¡± Chen Xiao asked. Su Tongxin couldn¡¯t figure out why Chen Xiao was asking her this. So she told her truthfully about how they met. After listening to her story, Chen Xiao nodded and said, ¡°So, you two haven¡¯t been through thick and thin and became a couple, am I right?¡± ¡°Yes, but I think couples don¡¯t have to go through extreme hardships as long as they love each other. I think when Chen Hao and I are together, his attention to detail and consideration make every moment memorable for me!¡± Su Tongxin felt a bit ufortable when she heard her questions, because every word of Chen Xiao hit its mark. ¡°Let me ask you one more question. Have you ever thought of marrying Chen Hao? If yes, did it ur to you now or before this talk? Do you think that Chen Hao is the one?¡± Chen Xiao asked.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Su Tongxin understood Chen Xiao now. If she was just having a casual rtionship with Chen Hao, it wouldn¡¯t mean anything to Chen Xiao. But if she wanted to marry Chen Hao and be part of their family, it would not be that easy. Besides, Chen Xiao would worry about whether she was with Chen Hao for the money. ¡°You¡¯re a clever girl, Tongxin. I think you understand what I mean. Also, you know very well that Chen Hao is insensitive to romance. Chen Haocked love and care since he was young because of the rules in the Chen family, so when he thinks a girl is good to him, even though it¡¯s a small act of kindness, he would be moved!¡± ¡°What I want to know is whether Chen Hao truly loves you, and what do you like about Chen Hao. Of course, this depends on whether you n on getting married. If no, then I won¡¯t ask further. But if yes, then I have to ask about it because there are many strict rules in the Chen family! Sometimes, it¡¯s better to rip it off like a band-aid!¡± Chen Xiao said. ¡°So do you mean our rtionship won¡¯tst? Do you think I¡¯m with Chen Hao for the money?¡± Su Tongxin asked. Chen Xiao smiled bitterly. ¡°To be honest, based on what I know, it seems like it. Of course, I know your personality very well and I know you won¡¯t deceive Chen Hao. However, I¡¯m afraid that my parents won¡¯t let you marry Chen Hao, because you are only seeing a tiny fraction of what the Chen family can do. You can imagine how powerful our family is. Of course, our family has our own style and rules of dealing with things!¡± Chapter 354 How a Transfer Student is Treated Chapter 354 How a Transfer Student is Treated Su Tongxin understood well enough by this time. Chen Xiao¡¯s hints were very obvious. At this moment, Su Tongxin felt her heart squeeze. She thought everything would be simple, and that she would be with Chen Hao until death parted them. But now, it seemed impossible. Back then, Chen Hao hadn¡¯t told her everything, so she thought he was just a young master of Jin Ling. But at the same time, ordinary people would nevere close to his true identity and background. ¡°So Tongxin, after you go back, consider how you want to continue on with Chen Hao!¡± Chen Xiao patted her shoulder. ¡°Stay here tonight and I¡¯ll send someone to take you back tomorrow. Also, feel free toe to Sky Pce Ind in the future! But promise me again Tongxin, don¡¯t tell Chen Hao that we met!¡± Su Tongxin nodded. She could tell that Chen Xiao liked her, but Chen Xiao wasn¡¯t omnipotent. How this would end depended entirely on what Su Tongxin and Chen Hao did. Chen Xiao doted on both of them, so she made things clear to Su Tongxin in advance. Su Tongxin tossed and turned the entire night. She had wanted to call Chen Hao several times, but it urred to her that she was always the one who sought help from him. Up until now, she had never done anything for Chen Hao. He was the giver in this rtionship! For example, she was also relying on Chen Hao in Hong Kong now, or else she couldn¡¯t even handle Yang Huali. To stay with Chen Hao, she had to learn how to be independent. That was how she could help him instead of causing him trouble. Su Tongxin cautioned herself inwardly... Meanwhile, Chen Hao had just rolled over on his bed. He picked up the phone and was about to call Su Tongxin out of habit. They had not contacted each other for several days now, and he would be lying if he said he didn¡¯t miss her. But then he killed the thought. Su Tongxin might still be angry at him. It might be better if he exined to her in person a few dayster in Hong Kong. He could stay with her for a period of time too. But he still sent a message, telling Su Tongxin to go to bed early. Sigh! Everything was settled. Tomorrow, he would be a transfer student at Chengdu University, and he could investigate that girl. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. After the school knew about Chen Hao¡¯s true identity, they ced great value on this matter. Of course, Chen Hao requested his transfer to be low-profile and forbade the school from spreading this news. After all, he wasn¡¯t really a transfer student. He was in the same ss as Wang Xiaohua. Wang Xiaohua, who was smart and chubby, was the dirty guide¡¯s son. The next morning, Chen Hao met up with Wang Xiaohua and went to school together. ¡°Hehe, young master, this is our school! Let me take you around!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a young master, just call me Chen Hao.¡± Chen Hao chuckled resignedly. ¡°Alright, Young Master Chen Hao!¡± Chen Hao was speechless. Then, they went into the ssroom together. Many students were already in the ssroom. When they saw Wang Xiaohua leading Chen Hao, they immediately knew that Chen Hao was the transfer student that the tutor had mentioned in the chat group this morning. The tutor was already waiting in the ssroom. ¡°Chen¡­ Chen Hao, your seat has already been arranged. Sit here!¡± The tutor said. Chen Hao had already told them that he didn¡¯t need special attention. He was only there as a transfer student for a few days. Though he had said that, the treatment he received was apparently different. He took a seat that was at the very front. ¡°Hey tutor, that seat isn¡¯t his. It belongs to Liang Fei. Why did you let him sit there?¡± Suddenly, a girl stood up and pointed at Chen Hao, expressing her dissatisfaction. ¡°Xu Yangyang, Chen Hao has just transferred over. How can you say something like that? Let Chen Hao sit here for the time being. When Liang Fei¡¯spetition ends, I¡¯ll arrange another seat for him.¡± The tutor smiled helplessly. ¡°Why?¡± Xu Yangyang grew furious and looked at Chen Hao with dislike and anger. ¡°Xu Yangyang, you¡¯re the monitress, so how can you say something like that? Chen Hao will sit here for now. End of discussion!¡± The tutor grinned at Chen Hao and left. Then, the ss began to murmur among themselves. Most of them said that Chen Hao would have a hard timeter on because he had wronged the monitress. It was normal that every team would have the habit of picking on the newbie. Be it at school or at work. So they had an instinctive animosity toward Chen Hao, as if Chen Hao would steal something from them. But Chen Hao didn¡¯t mind. His purpose was clear so he didn¡¯t pay attention to these incivilities. So after he sat down, he didn¡¯t mind Xu Yangyang¡¯s harsh words to him. When the ss ended, Xu Yangyang whispered something to her friends. Then, she eyed Chen Hao and left for the bathroom. Nearly all of the students were unwilling to speak to Chen Hao. ¡°Young¡­ Ahem, Chen Hao!¡± Only Wang Xiaohua knew that Chen Hao was very rich. If Chen Hao didn¡¯t forbid him to tell others his true identity, Wang Xiaohua would have spoken up when Xu Yangyang was scolding him. ¡°That monitress is mad, don¡¯t let her bother you!¡± Wang Xiao Hua exined. ¡°Ha, it¡¯s alright. Why do you say she¡¯s mad?¡± Chen Hao asked,ughing bitterly. ¡°Ahem, she¡¯s easily swayed and she always serves her own interest. No, that isn¡¯t quite right. She doesn¡¯t treat others fairly nor is she selfless. If she¡¯s swayed, she is only swayed by one person. If she¡¯s fair, she¡¯s only fair to one person. As for the others, she looks down upon them and ignores them, for example, me and the other boys in ss!¡± Wang Xiaohua said. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t tell me that the one in her heart is called Liang Fei?¡± Chen Hao shook his head helplessly with a smile. Chen Hao could tell that Xu Yangyang was mad at him for taking Liang Fei¡¯s seat, which was why she scolded him. ¡°You¡¯re right, it is indeed Liang Fei. Damn, I don¡¯t understand her at all. Liang Fei is rich, but not that rich. He likes to unt his wealth. Xu Yangyang has been head over heels for him ever since she was a freshman. She only has eyes for him. Once, her childhood best friend said one bad thing about Liang Fei, and guessed what happened? Xu Yangyang pped her in the face! Her best friend was so shocked that she froze. So you can see how obsessed she is with Liang Fei. That¡¯s why she treated you like that!¡± ¡°It seems like I have to stay away from her!¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly. After all, he came here in search of a person, not trouble. While he was talking to Wang Xiaohua, Xu Yangyang and her friends had returned... Chapter 355 Meeting the Goddess Again Chapter 355 Meeting the Goddess Again Xu Yangyang stormed toward Chen Hao angrily. Her few besties were also here. Chen Hao had put his bag on the table. A girl then walked toward him with crossed arms and threw his bag onto the floor while pretending as if nothing had happened. The other girl stepped on his bag, and it was obviously intentional. ¡°Oops. I¡¯m truly sorry, Chen Hao. I¡¯ve stepped on your bag and it¡¯s dirty now. I shall wash it for you.¡± A girl looked regretfully at Chen Hao. Chen Hao knew that these girls did it on purpose and he felt that he was truly unfortunate to have offended a group of girls on the first day. Although he could strike a counter-attack at them, he chose not to because he did not n to unt. Besides, Chen Hao was unlikely to make a big fuss out of this matter, especially because they were girls. Therefore, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. ¡°Thanks, but you don¡¯t need to wash it for me.¡± After that, he reached out and tried to retrieve his bag. ¡°Why not? Yangyang, what do you think?¡± The girl with long hair looked at Xu Yangyang, the ss monitress. ¡°Easy!¡± Xu Yangyang took a cup of water and poured right onto Chen Hao¡¯s bag. All the students in the ss enjoyed this scenecently, thinking that this show of strength was ruthless. ¡°Lin Shengnan¡¯s family is powerful in Chengdu, and Lin Shengnan and Xu Yangyang are best friends. Needless to say, Shengnan must have helped Xu Yangyang with the payback!¡± ¡°Absolutely. This guy is indeed unlucky. Now, not only did he offend Xu Yangyang, he also offended Lin Shengnan. It seems like we¡¯ll have some shows to enjoy from now on.¡± Everyone was discussing this incident softly. Later on, Lin Shengnan ced at Xu Yangyang. She was trying to say, Look, Xu Yangyang. He certainly doesn¡¯t have the guts to fight back. After that, the few girls went back to their seats. ¡°Chen Hao, Lin Shengnan¡¯s family is somewhat powerful, but they are not as wealthy as you. They are obviously picking on you!¡± Wang Xiaohua said softly. Chen Hao smiled gloomily and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s alright!¡± After saying that, Chen Hao picked up his dripping wet bag and ced it on the window ledge to dry it. He then called Wang Xiaohua to apany him to the bathroom. ¡°Damn. He isn¡¯t angry even in this situation!¡± A girl was left speechless after witnessing this scene. On the other hand, Lin Shengnan and Xu Yangyang grew restless when Chen Hao remained gleeful instead of feeling infuriated or irate after being humiliated. At this moment, the joint ss was about to start. After a short farce, everyone went to attend the ss. Chen Hao went to the ssroom as well in pretense. He didn¡¯t even bring his book. Initially when he was walking to the joint ssroom, everyone was chatting ardently. But when he stepped into the ssroom, they had shut their mouths simultaneously as if they had agreed on it beforehand. Even Lin Shengnan and Xu Yangyang acted in the same way. Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua were chatting when they walked in. They felt the strange silence and took a nce at the tform, but there was no teacher. Then why was everyone so quiet? Were the students this disciplined? Soon, Chen Hao figured out the reason when he looked to the first row in the joint ssroom. He spotted two girls on the seats of the first row. They were both extraordinarily beautiful. Xu Yangyang and Lin Shengnan were considered pretty, but they were not as stunning as these two girls. The two girls felt Chen Hao¡¯s gaze as well. One of the girls, who was more beautifulpared to the other, raised her head to nce at Chen Hao before shifting her cold gaze away. While the other girl was slightly surprised when she saw Chen Hao.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. At this moment, Wang Xiaohua nudged Chen Hao and hinted that it was her. Chen Hao recognized them as well. These two girls were none other than the girls he had met on the mountain. They were powerful and one of them looked like Su Ziyue. Even so, Chen Hao did not gawk unashamedly at them. He shifted his gaze shortly after a nce. He then went to the row behind the two girls and sat down with Wang Xiaohua. Could she actually be someone from the Fang Family? The more Chen Hao observed her, the stronger he felt that his supposition was true. The one who looked like Ziyue was named Jiannan. Chen Hao noticed that she was rather cold and unapproachable. Although she was stunning, she was expressionless. However, her friend was rtively livelier than her. Sometimes, Wang Xiaohua would act funny to attract other people¡¯s attention during ss, such as pretending to be a clown. At these moments, that girl would asionally burst outughing. Soon, the first two sses ended. It was usual for sses in universities to be fast-paced. After the ss ended, everyone packed their things and left. Even the two girls left as well. ¡°Jiannan, does that guy like you? When we met himst time, he was staring at you fixedly. This time during ss, he did the same when he saw you! I am sure he has fallen in love with you, just like the other boys!¡± As the two girls were walking on campus, they gossiped for a while. ¡°I think that he was looking at you, not me!¡± Jiannan blushed in embarrassment. Obviously, she was sensitive and shy toward this kind of topic. ¡°You might not know this, but I nced at that guy out of the corner of my eyes during the ss and noticed that he and Fatty Wang were observing you! That Fatty Wang has always peaked at us from behind during sses. Now, another person has joined him!¡± That girl knew Wang Xiaohua¡¯s name, but she was used to calling him Fatty Wang. If Wang Xiaohua knew that these two absolute goddesses liked to make jokes about him in their leisure time, he would be ted. ¡°I¡¯m not worried about Fatty Wang. Initially, he approached us sneakily because he was curious about us. After he found out that we enjoyed having fun, he approached us to drum up his father¡¯s business, who works as a tour guide. Their lives are not easy, and Fatty Wang is quite filial to his parents!¡± Jiannan exined. ¡°That¡¯s why you would speak louder sometimes? Because you respect his filial piety?¡± That girl asked. Jiannan nodded. ¡°Actually, I am more worried about the guy beside Fatty Wang. For some reason, I felt that he was special and unlike the others the moment I met him. I can¡¯t describe that feeling. Do you feel the same as me, Fang Yi?¡± ¡°Me? Well, somehow, I feel that way too, but obviously my feelings are not as intense as yours! I just feel that he might be someone fun and interesting!¡± Fang Yi replied casually. ¡°I think that we should be more careful. After all, we shouldn¡¯t have the intention to harm others, but we must be vignt against evil-doers. It wasn¡¯t easy for us to have the qualification toe out and study, so we must be prudent!¡± Jiannan cautioned. ¡°Alright, I¡­ Jiannan, look! Isn¡¯t that Fatty Wang and that guy behind us?¡± Fang Yi lowered her voice suddenly. ¡°Let¡¯s not care about them. Come, let¡¯s grab some drinks!¡± After Jiannan said that, both of them went inside a cafe. ¡°Chen Hao, look. The goddesses are there. They went into the cafe!¡± Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao had not noticed the two beauties just now. Upon hearing Wang Xiaohua, Chen Hao looked toward that direction. ¡°Why don¡¯t we follow them and eavesdrop on their conversation?¡± Wang Xiaohua asked. ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea. If they find out that we are following them deliberately, it won¡¯t end well!¡± Chen Hao could not help but smile dourly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Chen Hao. With my skills, they won¡¯t realise that we are following them intentionally. They didn¡¯t even realise that I was eavesdropping on their conversationst time, causing my father to earn he said. Chapter 356 Being Trailed Chapter 356 Being Trailed Chen Hao did not reject any further and went into the cafe with Wang Xiaohua. ¡°Gosh, they¡¯ve actually followed us in!¡± Although Fang Yi was also haughty and aloof, she could not help but softly inform Fang Jiannan about the sight she saw through the corners of her eyes. Fatty Wang and Chen Hao had just walked into the cafe together. ¡°It seems like we need to look into the background of that guy!¡± Fang Jiannan replied in a low voice. ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s necessary. Look at that guy, he seems kind of gullible. I think you might be too sensitive. You had tons of admirers in the past, but you¡¯ve been too sensitive and told your people to investigate them. Eventually, after a few days, all the families of your admirers were frightened to death, and the boys started to hide from you! Not only your admirers, even those who chased after me or talked to us would be warned by our family. I am honestly speechless! Although we are allowed to ¡°Stopining. If grandfather heard your words, you will be reprimanded again! Perhaps he would even take back your opportunity to study outside! Grandfather told us before that we have enemies, so we must be extremely cautious!¡± Fang Jianan reminded her. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll listen to you!¡± Fang Yi stopped her vents. Meanwhile, Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua sat at the table beside them. To be frank, Chen Hao was not willing to trail them. He felt that it was inappropriate to snoop on others, and it might even lead to negative consequences. However, Wang Xiaohua was brimming with confidence about this, so Chen Hao did not have the heart to reject him. Wang Xiaohua focused on listening to the two girls¡¯ conversation, but to his disappointment, they did not chat for the whole time. The only words they spoke was ¡®Let¡¯s go!¡¯ after they finished their coffee and were preparing to leave. Fang Jiannan was aloof as usual. But this time, Fang Yi looked at Chen Hao and gave him a warning nce before heading off. ¡°Wow. That girl looked at you, Chen Hao!¡± Wang Xiaohua gasped enviously. ¡°But what a pity. I didn¡¯t manage to eavesdrop on their conversation this time. That¡¯s strange. Why did they talk so softly this time? I could always hear them before,¡± Wang Xiaohua said, depressed. Chen Hao patted Wang Xiaohua¡¯s shoulder and shook his head while looking at him. If he was not mistaken, he and Wang Xiaohua had been exposed from the beginning! Only the pitiful Xiaohua did not realize this. After Chen Hao parted ways with Wang Xiaohua, he went back instead of returning to ss. After all, there were no more joint sses in the afternoon. He felt that it was pointless to keep his doubts in silence, so he decided to find a chance and talk to Fang Jiannan. While he was pondering that, someone called him. After checking the caller ID, Chen Hao was stunned. This was a specific number which was only used by Dragon Tiger Brothers. They would only use this number formunication on urgent matters. With this thought, Chen Hao answered the call immediately. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Young Master Chen! Go back now. Someone is tailing you! Your identity in Chengdu must have been exposed!¡± Tian Long sounded anxious. ¡°What?¡± Chen Hao could not help but look to the back from the corner of his eyes. In his sight, the entire street was crowded with pedestrians and it was rather busy. After all, it was a street in University City, so it was only natural to be crowded. However, Chen Hao had a highly precise security instrument on him, so the Dragon Tiger Brothers could get hold of his movements at any time and the presence of the people around him. Therefore, they would inform him whenever they noticed any problem. ¡°Young Master Chen, I have dispatched my subordinates over to you. It¡¯s safer if you go back now!¡± Tian Long advised. ¡°Alright!¡± After the call, Chen Hao hailed a taxi immediately and went back. His identity was not exposed, so who would send people to tail him? ¡°Boss, we lost sight of that guy!¡± Among the crowd, a group of young men with grim eyes gathered together. ¡°What are you waiting for? Go after him!¡± The leader of the group instructed coldly. ¡°Ouch!¡± Suddenly, a few people crowded over. It seemed like these few people had started a fight and stirred chaos in this area, causing the group of young men to be blocked. ¡°Get away!¡± The young men shoved them out of his way furiously. But when they made their way out, there was no sign of Chen Hao. The leader of the group stamped his foot irately! Helplessly, all of them returned to a secluded manor. ¡°Where is Miss?¡± The young man asked a man, who looked to be a butler. ¡°She is at the wushu center!¡± After that, the few went to the wushu center. In the center, Fang Jiannan was sparring with a few opponents in her spotless white taekwondo uniform, her hair tied into a ponytail. On the other hand, Fang Yi was munching on her chips while cheering and pping for Fang Jiannan when her opponents were hit mercilessly by her. ¡°Miss, your skills have improved. I¡¯m going to run out of skills to teach you!¡± A group of twelve walked over and bowed to Fang Jiannan. These twelve people were renowned experts in taekwondo and karate from all around the world. They were also Fang Jiannan¡¯s specialist coaches. ¡°Coach, you are beyond modest. Someone, bring my coaches to have a rest!¡± Fang Jiannan said. ¡°Jiannan, you¡¯re awesome. Even seven or eight people couldn¡¯t approach you when they attacked jointly. I wish I was as awesome as you are!¡± Fang Yi apuded delightedly. ¡°I did ask you to train, didn¡¯t I? But you have beenzy ever since you were young!¡± Fang Jiannan looked at Fang Yi and smiled resignedly as she spoke. ¡°I don¡¯t want to train hard. I guess I¡¯ll just be a gentldy. Besides, I¡¯m not equipped with determination like you. Who knew that a girl with a frail appearance like you could fend off seven or eight grown men? I remember that several students in the past who were bold enough to flirt with me ended up getting beaten by you, and were paralyzed from the waist down!¡± Fang Yiughed as she recalled the past. ¡°They deserved it. Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this!¡± Fang Jiannan smiled before looking at the subordinate who was standing at the side. ¡°Find anything?¡± ¡°Miss, we failed!¡± The leader of the group replied. ¡°You failed? This is the first time that all five of you have failed,¡± Fang Jiannan said in disbelief. ¡°It was unexpected this time because we met with an ident. A few people were fighting in the square, obstructing us when we were chasing after that guy. When we finally made it out, that guy had left in a taxi!¡± The young man exined.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°It¡¯s great that you have failed. I¡¯m d that this mission was a failure. Jiannan, I honestly think that you are over worrying. That guy is with Fatty Wang, and he¡¯s just admiring your beauty. He isn¡¯t worth investigating. Besides, I actually want to get to know him and Fatty Wang more!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare! If you talk to outsiders, I¡¯ll tell grandfather and you¡¯ll be grounded again!¡± Fang Jiannan warned angrily. ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll listen to you and I won¡¯t talk to them!¡± Fang Yi gave in. ¡°You may leave now and you can stop investigating him for now,¡± Fang Jiannan looked at the five men and said. ¡°Yes, Miss!¡± On the other hand, Fang Yi pursed her lips and walked to a side, crushing the chips into pieces and throwing them into the garbage can. Looking at Fang Yi, Fang Jiannan shook her head and approached her. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you unhappy that I scolded you just now?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not mad at you. I¡¯m just angry at that person who made us different from other people since young! Why? Why?!¡± Tears rolled down from her eyes as she spoke. Upon hearing herints, Fang Jiannan¡¯s face turned gloomy as well. She then recalled the time when she was young¡­ Chapter 357 What a Coincidence Chapter 357 What a Coincidence ¡°Jiannan and Fang Yi, where are you going?¡± An old man questioned coldly. ¡°Grandfather, we are going out to y!¡± ¡°No. Both of you,e back immediately! You, keep an eye on Jiannan and Fang Yi. Don¡¯t let them leave the house. Not even a single step!¡± ¡°Yes, Old Master!¡± ¡°Why, grandfather? Why can all the other children y outside but not us? We also wish to attend kindergarten and y with the other children!¡± Fang Jiannan was only six or seven years old at that time, so she could not resist talking back to her grandfather. p! Her grandfather had pped Fang Jiannan¡¯s face at once, who was just a little girl of six or seven years old. It was quite a powerful blow. This was the first time Fang Jiannan had ever been beaten. Usually, their grandfather coddled them a lot. Other than the stars and moon in the sky, he had honestly given them the best things in life. However, there was one condition: they were prohibited from going outside ever since they were young. Fang Jiannan burst out crying immediately after the p. This had led to her ever growing curiosity toward the gaiety world outside. When Fang Jiannan turned twelve, something happened that left a deep scar in her memory. She and Fang Yi had decided to sneak out and y, but they were caught by their grandfather. That day, her grandfather had punished them with the highest level of the family rules. Fang Jiannan was just a twelve-year-old child when her grandfather shed her with a cane until her skin was yed open. That day, her grandfather cried as he whipped them. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t want to let you out? I can¡¯t because our Fang Family has an extremely strong enemy. I¡¯m protecting you by keeping you safe in the house. Why can¡¯t you just listen!¡± The scars from that punishment were still visible on the backs of Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi. It was as if the childhood trauma was etched on their backs. It was only until they had grown up and became sensible that her grandfather finally allowed them to go out to pursue their studies and explore the outside world, with a condition of never befriending anyone. Therefore, the two girls, as well as every young member of the Fang Family, did not have aplete childhood. All of them had missed out a lot in life. And the culprit was the strong enemy mentioned by her grandfather. However, her grandfather would not tell Fang Jiannan the actual story. He felt that because she was a girl, she should not be involved in these matters. But what about her life and the childhood she should have had? It had been taken away by someone, and she was still left in the dark. Fang Jiannan refused to ept that, so she strived for her goals and aimed to be the best in everything because she wanted to prove that she was not any more inferior than the boys! Retracting her thoughts from the past, Fang Jiannan took a deep breath and looked at Fang Yi. ¡°Alright, Fang Yi. Stop thinking about the past. We¡¯re fine now, aren¡¯t we?¡± ¡°Yes, and I know that deep down inside, you hate that strong enemy more than I do. Sooner orter, we will make them pay for all our suffering!¡± Fang Yi said determinedly. ¡°That day wille! Although grandfather doesn¡¯t want to tell us the truth about our family, with all our preparations for the past decades, I believe that day wille soon!¡± Fang Jiannan patted Fang Yi¡¯s shoulder. The next day, Chen Hao arrived at the ssroom and spotted Xu Yangyang at once. To be honest, this girl was pretty. Yet, her temper destroyed Chen Hao¡¯s favor toward her. She seemed happy today as she was chatting and joking with her friends. When she noticed Chen Hao, she rolled her eyes and stood up. ¡°Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao, you came at the right time. Did you see a truck of mineral water downstairs when both of you came up? Ten or more packs belong to our ss. Both of you should go down and get them!¡± Upon hearing that, everyone in the ssroomughed behind their palms. Chen Hao knew that Xu Yangyang was deliberately making a fool out of them. To be frank, he was quite furious. Wang Xiaohua was also unhappy. ¡°Why us? There are so many boxes downstairs. Both of us can¡¯t possibly carry all of them!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°He said both of us can¡¯t possibly carry all of them!¡± Chen Hao repeated before sitting on the seat next to him. She had not expected Chen Hao to rebut her in public. Xu Yangyang was exploding with anger. Chen Hao was already an eyesore to her, and now he even challenged her dignity in front of everyone. Out of anger, Xu Yangyang¡¯s missy temper was triggered and she hurled a cup at Chen Hao. Fortunately, she missed and the cup smashed on the floor. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°If you dare, say that again!¡± Judging from her actions, Chen Hao knew that she had a missy temper, which was caused by too much pampering. She thought that everyone should revolve around her. He was irritated at this moment and replied, ¡°We can¡¯t carry all of it even if I repeated myself ten more times! What can you do about it?¡± Chen Hao had met quite a lot of this kind, so he was not willing to spoil her. ¡°Fine. You better watch out, you arrogant prick!¡± After that, Xu Yangyang dashed out in rage. On the other hand, Lin Shengnan nced at Chen Hao after witnessing the whole scene. ¡°Oh god. Xu Yangyang must have gone to call her people!¡± Wang Xiaohua eximed in fear. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of even if she is calling her people. What can she do?¡± Chen Hao ¡°But I heard that her cousin brother is in the sports team and he is quite a man!¡± Wang Xiaohua said with scruples. It was still early in the morning and Chen Hao had already been angered. Worse still, he had nowhere to vent out. So, if someone picked a fight with him, he would dly ept it. Soon, a flurry of footsteps came from outside the ssroom. Obviously, there was arge group of peopleing toward them. ¡°Damn. Xu Yangyang really called them here. I knew it, Xu Yangyang wouldn¡¯t have let Chen Hao off that easily! Now we get to enjoy an interesting show!¡± In just a few seconds, a group of boys busted into the ssroom. ¡°Wentao, anyone who bullies your sister is equivalent to bullying my sister. I shall see who has the gut!¡± The group walked into the ssroom. One of the leaders of the group spoke to Xu Yangyang¡¯s brother, Wentao, while ncing coldly at the students in the ssroom. ¡°Wow! This boy is so tall and handsome!¡± When the girls in the ssroom saw the leader, they gasped in astonishment at once. ¡°I know him. He also transferred to our university recently, but Xu Wentao seems reverent to him!¡± Someone said. Xu Yangyang was crossing her arms aggrievedly, then pointed at Chen Hao. ¡°Junwen, Wentao, that¡¯s him!¡± At this moment, Chen Hao had stood up. He was stunned after he saw the young man. At the same time, the young man was stunned as well when he saw Chen Hao. Damn! ¡°Shen Junwen?¡± ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Shen Junwen asked surprisingly. Indeed. He, Hu Huimin and the few girls had been transferred to this university. Therefore, Shen Junwen was a student here now. Of course, being Wang Jian¡¯s friend, Shen Junwen had adapted quickly to the new environment and was even triumphing in the university. However, he did not expect Chen Hao to be a student here as well, so Shen Junwen¡¯s first reaction was to stare in shock. ¡°What? Junwen, do you know each other?¡± Xu Wentao asked curiously at this moment. Xu Yangyang was also nervous. If they knew each other, then Chen Hao would not be beaten up. ¡°We sort of know each other.¡± Of course, Shen Junwen would never hit Chen Hao because Chen Hao knew his identity. He would be done for if his identity was exposed. After all, Hu Huimin and the girls were all in this university. Damn. Why was he so unlucky? ¡°Chen Hao, what a coincidence. Come out with me. Let¡¯s chat privately!¡± Having no choice, Shen Junwen could only say this. Chapter 358 Fundraising Chapter 358 Fundraising After that, Chen Hao went out with Shen Junwen. ¡°Damn, Chen Hao, aren¡¯t you vacationing in Chengdu? Why are you here in Chengdu University?¡± ¡°I came here to study. What about you? What are you doing here in Chengdu University?¡± Chen Hao asked. Technically, both of them did not have a feud with each other, but Shen Junwen looked down upon Chen Hao. Of course, it was a mutual feeling for Chen Hao as well. ¡°I was about to tell you that. I¡¯ll be straightforward. This time, I didn¡¯te alone. Hu Huimin is here too. As for the reason for our arrival here, it is confidential. Let me tell you, keep your mouth sealed and don¡¯t ever tell anyone our identities. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you!¡± After warning Chen Hao, Shen Junwen turned and left. Perhaps this was their mission. But Chen Hao did not care and was not curious about their mission at all. After giving a bitter smile and shaking his head, Chen Hao prepared to return to the ssroom. ¡°Hi Mister, we are collecting money for charity. Do you wish to make a donation? It doesn¡¯t matter how much you donate! We will send it to the poor children in the mountain region who can¡¯t afford to study. We wish to give everyone an opportunity to study!¡± Suddenly, a girl grabbed Chen Hao bashfully. She seemed like a staff member of the fundraising event. Since Chen Hao was stopped, he felt obliged to donate. After all, it was a meaningful and kind act, and it had the same objective as the Hope Elementary School he had built. Therefore, Chen Hao nodded. ¡°How much do you wish to donate?¡± A few female staff stood up at once and smiled at Chen Hao while looking at him. ¡°I¡¯ll donate 50,000!¡± Chen Hao replied with a smile. ¡°What? 50,000?!¡± The few girls were astounded by his answer. After all, campus fundraising wasmon nowadays and most of the schools or universities had this event to help the poor students in the mountain region. Therefore, many students would donate whenever the campus had this event. Usually, they would donate ten, five or six bucks. It was not the amount of donation that mattered, but the kindness andpassion they showed. But 50,000¡­ They had been running the fundraising event here for almost half a month, but this was their first time meeting such an extravagant and generous student. ¡°Mister, are you seriously going to donate 50,000?¡± They found it hard to believe it. Chen Hao gave a wry smile and took out his card. He wanted to swipe his card. Chen Hao then pressed five zeros into the credit card machine to donate his money. ¡°The transaction of 500,000 is sessful!¡± A robotic voice rang from the machine. ¡°What?¡± The staff gaped with their mouths open. ¡°Oh!¡± Chen Hao jumped out of habit. Initially, Chen Hao nned to donate 50,000. After all, he always joined charity events now whenever he saw one, and he had been donating to lots of fundraising campaigns. However, he wished to keep a low profile in the university. Therefore, he had nned to donate less. However, he had identally pressed an extra zero and ended up donating 500,000. Chen Hao was thinking about Fang Jiannan just now, so he did not pay attention to his actions. ¡°Mister, you¡¯ve donated too much. I¡¯ll lead you through the procedures now and return the extra money to you. Are you free to follow us to our headquarters this afternoon? We need you to be there personally for your signature in order to refund your money!¡± The staff was utterly horrified and said hastily. ¡°That¡¯s too troublesome. It¡¯s fine then. I¡¯ll donate 500,000!¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. After all, 50,000 and 500,000 was just a difference in the digits to him. That was all. ¡°Mister, can you write down your department and name?¡± The staff was beyond impressed. Upon her request, Chen Hao wrote down his department and ss. Just when he was about to write Wang Xiaohua¡¯s name, a few boys and girls had surrounded him, and they were carrying cameras and stuff. They must be the reporters of the Charity Society, who had rushed here to interview him as soon as they got the news of him donating 500,000. Upon the sight of the reporters, Chen Hao was startled and threw away his pen. ¡°No thanks! I have only one request. Please don¡¯t expose me!¡± After that, Chen Hao fled from the scene. ¡°Alright, Mister! But Mister, please leave your name!¡± the staff shouted. But Chen Hao just waved his hand and ran off at lightning¡¯s speed, leaving the few young female staff in disappointment. Although this was their job, they still wished to know some wealthy people. They had an opportunity just now, but he did not give them any chance to know him. Meanwhile, Chen Hao had returned. When he reached the ssroom, he heard the gleeful hails from inside. ¡°Shengnan is indeed awesome. You are so amazing to have donated such arge sum of money! 30,000 is a huge amount!¡± A few people were shouting excitedly. It all happened this morning when Lin Shengnan came to the university and saw that the fundraising event was held on campus. So, she donated. It was nothing special at first, and she did not intend to mention it. However, it identally slipped out of her mouth when she was chatting with her friends just now. This caused everyone in the ssroom to gasp in astonishment. As a university student, it was considered astonishing to be able to spend 30,000 at one go. Xu Yangyangughed heartily and said she donated just a thousand, while the majority of the students donated some or did not donate. And that was fine. ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t Liang Fei say he would being to ss today? Why isn¡¯t he here yet? He just finished the taekwondopetition and came in second!¡± Suddenly, Xu Yangyang looked in the direction of the door. ¡°Geez, you just can¡¯t wait, can you?¡± Lin Shengnan teased her. ¡°Of course I am looking forward to Liang Fei¡¯s return. Otherwise, someone will think that he is amazing!¡± Xu Yangyang nced at Chen Hao as she spoke. At this moment, a boy walked into the ssroom. ¡°Liang Fei!¡± ¡°Liang Fei, you¡¯re back!¡± Everyone in the ssroom shouted excitedly. ¡°Liang Fei, you¡¯re finally here. You¡¯re almostte!¡± Xu Yangyang stood up with joy and said to Liang Fei. ¡°Yeah. I was blocked by a few girls from the fundraising events downstairs, so it took a bit of time to He then looked at Chen Hao who was sitting on his usual seat, then sat down beside Xu Yangyang. ¡°Liang Fei, did you donate too?¡± Lin Shengnan asked with a smile. Liang Fei nodded his head. He was tall, skinny and handsome. On top of that, his family background was the best in this ss. Besides, he was skilled in sports, so he was naturally the star of the ss. ¡°Liang Fei, how much did you donate? I heard that there will be a ceremony to thank the donors this afternoon. Those who donated a lot will appear at the ceremony!¡± Xu Yangyang said with admiration. ¡°Me? I just donated some. I¡¯m not interested in these ceremonies!¡± Liang Fei felt speechless and shook his head. Why was everyone interested in these? ¡°Liang Fei, don¡¯t leave us hanging! How much is ¡®some¡¯?¡± The girls were pursuing this question anxiously, and the boys were also curious to know. ¡°I just donated 100,000!¡± Liang Fei had no choice but to answer them to quench their curiosity. Bam! The ss sank into a deathly silence at once. Soon after that, there was an explosion of voices. 100,000? Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Oh my god! ¡°Liang Fei, you donated 100,000? Really?!¡± Most of the girls could not hold in their excitement and shouted. Indeed. It was a great shock to them when they knew he had donated such arge sum of money! Xu Yangyang could not even make out a word due to overexcitement. ¡°Liang Fei, I love you so much! You are truly amazing!¡± Xu Yangyang screamed in admiration. Chapter 359 The Commotion At The Ceremony Chapter 359 The Commotion At The Ceremony The whole ss was in a state of jubnce. Obviously, the tutor had heard about what happened. Not only did Lin Shengnan bring glory to her ss, Liang Fei had also done his part in bringing fame to the whole ss and even to her. Therefore, the tutor brought them good news. Everyone from the ss was invited to attend the fundraising ceremony held at one in the afternoon. Indeed, other thanrge-scale sports activities, these kinds of events would provide the opportunity for Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. one to stand out in the university. Moreover, students from the ss were going to be put in the limelight at the eventter. It was only reasonable for all of them to be there to show their spirit! Soon, all students from the department headed toward the auditorium after lunch break. Meanwhile, Chen Hao was heading toward the ssrooms instead. ¡°Chen Hao, why aren¡¯t you going to the auditorium?¡± asked Wang Xiaohua. ¡°I¡¯m just going to skip the event.¡± Chen Hao used to attend these kinds of events regrly and quite frankly, he didn¡¯t think much of it. In his opinion, fundraising should remain as an activity held purely out ofpassion. He would think that he had done his part as long as he contributed. Therefore, he didn¡¯t want to join the fun. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao, take a look there! The two pretty girls are going to the auditorium as well!¡± Suddenly, Wang Xiaohua pointed toward the entrance of the auditorium. As expected, Chen Hao saw Fang Jiannan. ¡°Let¡¯s go and join the fun! After all, the whole ss Three is going to attend. It would look bad on us if we were the only ones absent, wouldn¡¯t it?¡± said Wang Xiaohua. ¡°Well, okay then!¡± Chen Hao shook his head in resignation. Indeed, it would not bring him any good to be too entric. After all, he still needed to get along with his ssmates for a period of time. Hence, Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua entered the auditorium. Both Fang Jiannan and the other pretty girl kept a low profile by taking the seats in thest row. Obviously, no one was daring enough to get anywhere near to that row in which they upied. Some of the students would rather stand than to take the seats beside them. ¡°There are no seats left for us!¡± Wang Xiaohua scratched his head. ¡°There¡¯s some more there!¡± Looking at the seats beside Fang Jianan, Chen Hao made his way there. ¡°Prettydies, are the seats beside you taken?¡± Chen Hao asked with a smile. Neither Fang Jiannan nor Fang Yi spoke. Putting on an icy look, they acted as though they did not hear Chen Hao and just stared straight ahead. Nervously, Wang Xiaohua tugged at Chen Hao¡¯s arm. He was signaling Chen Hao to give up his intention to sit there. If the two pretty girls were offended, he would suffer a terrible end. However, Chen Hao smirked nonchntly and hauled Wang Xiaohua over to sit beside the girls. Fang Jiannan¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. The ceremony began right after everyone had arrived. The event started off with speeches by the principal and school representatives. As for the announcement of the list of outstanding donors, it was arranged as thest part of the event. Only those who had donated above 100 would have their names announced. The sequence was random instead of following the amount of the donation. Names were then announced one after another ording to the list. From time to time, a slightmotion could be heard from the audience whenever the amount of donation was over 1,000. When the amount of donation went above 3,000, gasps of shock echoed throughout the auditorium. Chen Hao, who was sitting among the audience, heard Hu Huimin and Shen Junwen¡¯s names. Both of them had donated 6,000 each. That caused quite amotion from the audience. ¡°ording to our analysis, there are twelve students in total who have made donations above 6,000! Next, we would like to invite the twelve students onstage to receive a certificate from the school!¡± The host stated, ¡°Shen Junwen, Hu Huimin, pleasee onstage!¡± A round of apuse followed as Shen Junwen and Hu Huimin walked toward the stage. ¡°Wow, Junwen is really dashing Haha!¡± Xu Yangyang who was sitting among the audience couldn¡¯t help but pped along too. At the sight of Xu Yangyang¡¯s actions, Chen Hao who was sitting beside him rolled his eyes. ¡°Yangyang, how did you get to know Shen Junwen? From what I remember, he just transferred here not too long ago, didn¡¯t he?¡± asked one of the girls. ¡°Haha, my bestie, Zhang Tao is the cousin of Wang Jian, who used to be a popr student here. Moreover, Wang Jian happens to be Shen Junwen¡¯s good friend, so of course I know him!¡± ¡°Oh, I see!¡± ¡°The name of that beautiful girl sitting beside Shen Junwen is Hu Huimin. From what I¡¯ve heard, she is into Shen Junwen. Both of them were transferred to this university together,¡± said Xu Yangyang. Deep down inside, Xu Yangyang was thinking to himself, Shen Junwen might be the star of the day for now. However, the most anticipated thing of the day would be Liang Fei seizing the moment. At that moment, he started to pay more attention to the announcement. The host then summoned a few more students onstage. ¡°Lin Shengnan from ss Three of the Business and Administration School with a donation of 30,000, pleasee onstage!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± As expected, the whole auditorium was filled with morous and excited cries. Even the teachers who were sitting at the front rows started to whisper among themselves. Themotion inside the auditoriumsted for quite a while. Xu Yangyang leaped in excitement because Liang Fei¡¯s name was about to be announced. Lin Shengnan walked toward the stage with a graceful demeanor. Then, she took the position at the center of the stage. ¡°Next, Liang Fei from ss Three of the Business and Administration School with a donation of 100,000!!! Liang Fei, please get onstage!¡± This time around, even the voice of the host was full of excitement. As for the audience... 100,000?? Bang! There was an outright explosion among the audience. The thundering apuse and screams from the audience brought about a vibration so great that the sses in the auditorium were almost shattered. One¡¯s eardrums could feel the stress from the vibration. It was 100,000. It went without saying that it was too great of an impact for everyone in the auditorium. ¡°Who is it? So generous!¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s none other than Liang Fei from ss Three!" ¡°No wonder, since Liang Fei is so rich. But still, it¡¯s 100,000! He¡¯s too generous!¡± Everyone eximed in shock. As for Xu Yangyang, he was swaying Liang Fei¡¯s arms excitedly and shouting at the same time, ¡°Brother Fei, it¡¯s your name! It¡¯s your name!¡± Liang Fei shook his head with a bitter smile. It was just 100,000. Was it really worth everyone¡¯s attention and surprise? Hehe! At that moment, Liang Fei tucked both of his hands inside the pockets of his trousers and made his way toward the stage. Everywhere he passed by would trigger screams from the girls. He then went onstage. Next, the host mentioned two other figures. It was a donation of 150,000 made by two girls from ss Four respectively. The atmosphere inside the auditorium reached another climax. The host did not mention the girls¡¯ names and did not invite them onstage either. However, everyone still averted their gazes toward the two girls sitting in thest row. Surely, the donors were Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi. However, the impact of their donations was not as extensive as Liang Fei¡¯s. Everyone at Chengdu University knew both of them were rich. In fact, they had regrly made contributions to the university. Nheless, a warm round of apuse was still heard from the audience. As the host came to thest student of the twelve, he was in a dilemma. He spoke, ¡°Next, this student we¡¯re having here has made thergest contribution. However, this student left out his name and merely wrote his department and ss. Let¡¯s give a warm round of apuse to the ss this student is from!¡± ¡°Ah? Which ss is that? How much did he donate?¡± Everyone was busy discussing among themselves. On the stage, Liang Fei, Lin Shengnan, Hu Huimin and Shen Junwen were exchanging nces with each other. All of them were looking forward to what the host was going to announce¡­ Chapter 360 It’s Him Chapter 360 It¡¯s Him ¡°This studentes from Third Year, ss Three of the Business and Administration School with a donation of five hundred thousand!¡± The host eximed excitedly. ¡°Ah!!!¡± The entire auditorium exploded with screams. Someone had donated 500,000! Liang Fei¡¯s donation of 100,000 was already deemed a hefty sum. Coupled with the donation from the two pretty girls, everyone had assumed that their donations were already the highest among all. However, someone had actually donated 500,000. This time around, even the members of the university managementmittee sitting at the front row gave a standing ovation in response to the announcement. As for Shen Junwen, Hu Huimin and the rest who were standing onstage, all of them looked toward Liang Fei and Lin Shengnan from ss Three. Even Lin Shengnan and Liang Fei were caught by surprise. Someone from their ss had actually donated 500,000! ¡°Yangyang, did you hear that? The host mentioned our ss. Someone from our ss donated five hundred thousand!¡± Some girls from ss Three shouted at Xu Yangyang at the moment. ¡°I heard that. The important question is, who made the donation?¡± Xu Yangyang started to get excited. Five hundred thousand was definitely not a petty sum even to rich families! Everyone in the auditorium was in a state of ecstasy. Even Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi exchanged a nce with each other. Both girls pretty much kept to themselves and didn¡¯t say much in the ssroom or joint sses. However, they knew all of the students in the two sses inside out. For example, although both girls had never interacted with Fatty Wang, they did see him as their ssmate. They had offered him a lot of help behind his back. Fatty Wang¡¯s father was a dirty guide and he had been causing trouble to his family. However, Fatty Wang¡¯s family had not been disturbed by enemies for quite some time already. It was because Fang Jianan had been helping him all this while. Hence, she had a very thorough understanding about her ssmates. Therefore, she could not believe that someone from ss Three could fork out five hundred thousand as a donation. ¡°Liang Fei, Lin Shengnan, both of you are from ss Three. I suppose this rich student is one of your ssmates?¡± The host turned to look at Liang Fei and Lin Shengnan. ¡°But I don¡¯t think anyone from our ss is rich enough to be able to afford such a hefty sum,¡± Lin Shengnan said to Liang Fei. ¡°Could the donation be made by my father? Early this morning when we were on the way here, my father was the one who told me about this event.¡± Liang Fei suddenly thought about this possibility. ¡°Ah?¡± The entire auditorium was thrown into silence. The audience stared at Liang Fei without any movement. Hu Huimin, too, had fixated her gaze on him. After all, she had done some research on the popr figures in the university before she was transferred here. Wang Jian was the most popr guy for the previous batch. For the current batch, Liang Fei was the most popr guy, followed by Li Wentao. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. All of them came from wealthy families. ¡°Why don¡¯t you give him a call and ask for confirmation?¡± Hu Huimin suggested. ¡°Yes, you should call your family to confirm it!¡± Some of the members of the university managementmittee sitting offstage chimed in. Hence, Liang Fei started to dial the numbers. At the same time, the teaching assistant dashed toward her ss, looking excited. ¡°Where are all the bottles of mineral water? Did you carry them here?¡± The teaching assistant asked Xu Yangyang anxiously. ¡°Oh no, I have forgotten all about it because of the buzz!¡± Xu Yangyang patted her head and eximed. ¡°We need six students to carry the bottles here. Hmph, where are Fatty Wang and Chen Hao?¡± Xu Yangyang was scanning her surroundings with her eyes. Someone pointed at Chen Hao, who was sitting in thest row. ¡°They are hidden over there!¡± One of the girls spoke. ¡°Hmph, Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua, you guys refused to carry the bottles of mineral water here after I have told you two to do so. Now, I have found four other students to help you. There shouldn¡¯t be any problem now right? Damn, you two are really great at cking off and being good-for-nothings!¡± After shooting a disdainful look at Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua, Xu Yangyang summoned four other ssmates to help them. Back then, Chen Hao had encountered someone like Xu Yangyang before in his ss. To her, no other guys couldpare to the one she fancied. All she could see was her crush and she would pay no regards to any other guys. However, it didn¡¯t matter anymore. At that crucial juncture, he guessed he would be ill-treated if he still refused to carry the bottles. Then, Chen Hao, Wang Xiaohua and the four students headed outside the auditorium. Fortunately, he did not write down his name when he donated. He felt relieved deep down inside. Some emotions finally appeared on Fang Yi¡¯s face after watching both Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao leave. ¡°Jiannan, I seem to have felt something just now. What exactly is that kind of feeling? When Chen Hao walked past me, my heart was pounding wildly. The weird thing was, I wanted him to stay beside me!¡± Fang Yi continued, ¡°Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel like we have been close friends for a long time despite never seeing him before in all my life?¡± Fang Jiannan nodded her head and said, ¡°But we have no idea about his background yet. He doesn¡¯t look like any other ordinary guy. Yet, his attire makes him look mediocre.¡± The two girls were whispering among themselves. As for Chen Hao and the rest, they were on their way to carry the bottles of mineral water. They had to distribute the water to every member of the university managementmittee who was sitting in the front row, as well as the staff. They carried the water into the auditorium. Currently, the entire university managementmittee and the staff were not interested in quenching their thirst. Their attention was fully focused onstage, where Liang Fei was on the phone, looking anxious. Xu Yangyang followed Liang Fei onstage, as though she was somehow rted to the whole matter. However, the oue was disappointing. In the end, it was not Liang Fei¡¯s father who had donated the money. Ah? Who else could it be? Everyone was caught in a daze. Liang Fei looked at Lin Shengnan and asked, ¡°Shengnan, could it be your father? Your father has always been very passionate about charity as well!¡± Lin Shengnan nodded her head in agreement before saying, ¡°Okay, let me give my father a call.¡± In the midst of this suspenseful moment, someone let out a cry from the audience. It was Wang Xiaohua. He was carrying the water for Chen Hao to distribute among the audience. Then, a girl who was holding a report in her hand walked into the auditorium from outside and identally bumped into Wang Xiaohua. Because of that, Wang Xiaohua¡¯s grip on the water bottles loosened and all the bottles dropped to the floor. ¡°Oh no, so sorry about that! It was an ident!¡± The girl said apologetically. ¡°It¡¯s okay, please carry on with your task,¡± said Chen Hao. Chen Hao squatted down and helped Wang Xiaohua pick up the bottles. The girl, who was also helping them pick up the bottles, suddenly lifted her head and took a look at Chen Hao. Both of her eyes twitched slightly. ¡°Ah? It¡¯s you!¡± The girl eximed in shock while covering her mouth. ¡°Ah! It¡¯s you!¡± Chen Hao was taken aback too. The girl was none other than the one who had persuaded Chen Hao to make the donation before. In fact, Chen Hao only decided to take on the task of carrying the water after he was sure that the fundraiser girls whom he had encountered before were not in the auditorium. Out of his expectation, he bumped into one of them. This was very awkward for Chen Hao. ¡°Finally, I¡¯ve found you. You didn¡¯t give me your name just now!¡± The girl said excitedly. ¡°What¡¯s going on, Li?¡± At this moment, some directors from the charity organization started to get upset at the sight of the mess. ¡°Director, h-he is the one¡­¡± ¡°Ah!¡± At that moment, the other fundraiser girls had also walked into the auditorium. At the sight of Chen Hao, they couldn¡¯t help but let out a scream in surprise. Because of the screams, the whole auditorium was thrown into silence. Hu Huimin, Liang Fei and Lin Shengnan who were onstage averted their gazes toward Chen Hao... Chapter 361 Suffering From a Shock Chapter 361 Suffering From a Shock ¡°Is that him?¡± Hu Huimin knew that Chen Hao came to study in this school, but she hadn¡¯t seen him yet. This time, seeing him holding bottles of mineral water, she could not help but look at him in disdain. Chen Hao was the same as when he was in high school. He was holding water bottles for someone else here, just like how he was ordered around in high school. Hu Huimin didn¡¯t even want to know the reason why Chen Hao came to Chengdu University. Right now, Chen Hao was surrounded by girls below the stage. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± one of the universitymittee members asked. ¡°Manager Li, he¡¯s the one who donated five hundred thousand!¡± a few girls replied admiringly. ¡°What?¡± Immediately, everyone became silent. Xu Yangyang, Hu Huimin and the others who were onstage were gaping. Shen Junwen and Liang Fei were startled as well. Not to mention how awkward it was for Lin Shengnan, who was still calling her dad. Even Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi, who were sitting in thest row, looked toward his direction. ¡°Y-You have to be mistaken. How could it possibly be him?¡± Xu Yangyang could not ept the fact that Chen Hao had the upper handpared to Liang Fei. Moreover, she didn¡¯t want to believe that Chen Hao had actually donated so much money. But it seemed like this was the truth. It was announced that the donor of five hundred thousand came from their ss. It wasn¡¯t Liang Fei, nor was it Lin Shengnan. The only possible answer was Chen Hao. The girl exined, ¡°We didn¡¯t make a mistake! We would recognize him anywhere!¡± ¡°Are you sure it was him? Haha, I know him. We¡¯re from the same high school. He¡¯s just a poor kid. He doesn¡¯t have that kind of money. Even if you sell him, he¡¯s not worth that much!¡± Hu Huimin said hurriedly. To be honest, it had hurt Hu Huimin and the others¡¯ pride when they heard that Chen Hao had donated five hundred thousand. This was because they were known to be rich since high school. Chen Hao had always been a poor kid to her. For example, when it came to shopping, if Hu Huimin wore Adidas or Nike that costs a thousand apiece, Chen Hao should wear something around ten or twenty bucks. Seeing Chen Hao wear clothes that were priced at a hundred or so would make her feel ufortable. This time around, she had donated six thousand and from her point of view, it was normal for Chen Hao to donate five bucks. But now, he had donated five hundred thousand. Hu Huimin was utterly dumbfounded, especially when the girls showed the receipt to the crowd that had Chen Hao¡¯s name on it! How was this possible? Since when did he be so rich? Hu Huimin couldn¡¯t believe her eyes. Chen Hao hadn¡¯t wanted anyone to know but he had no choice now. Also, he was pushed onstage by a few workers respectfully. Liang Fei originally stood at the center. But at that moment, a few girls had pushed him aside and gave the spot to Chen Hao. Liang Fei¡¯s face immediately med up. Xu Yangyang was even more furious. ¡°W-Why did you donate so much money?¡± Xu Yangyang pointed at Chen Hao and scolded him. ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t know where your money came from but I hope you didn¡¯t bite off more than you can chew!¡± Hu Huimin reprimanded him. She had to get it off her chest. Chen Hao looked at the two of them, fuming. He had always admired Hu Huimin, but her nasty words were too much for Chen Hao to bear. ¡°You think I bit off more than I can chew? Then let me take a few more bites. I¡¯ll make an additional donation of 1 million!¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly. ¡°What?¡± His words caused an uproar instantly. If five hundred thousand was already an astounding number, what about one million? Chen Hao¡¯s ssmates were all staring at him, thunderstruck. They really couldn¡¯t tell that a guy like him that looked honest and easy to bully was an insanely rich person. ¡°Yes!¡± Their ss, following someone¡¯s lead, started pping. Soon, the whole hall rang with apuse. The staff went onstage and added the newly donated amount to the fund. Many looked at Chen Hao in worship. Chen Hao didn¡¯t mind being ostentatious a few more times if it was for something meaningful like this. Looking at Hu Huimin and Xu Yangyang¡¯s burning face, he even felt a tinge of ill-willed satisfaction. Then, a bunch of workers came onstage and surrounded Chen Hao, wanting to shake hands with him. As for Liang Fei, he went offstage huffily after receiving his certificate. He felt like he had wasted 100,000. ¡°Jiannan, I really couldn¡¯t tell that he was rich. When they said that he donated five hundred thousand, I couldn¡¯t believe my ears. But then he donated 1 million afterward. It seems like he¡¯s really rich!¡± Fang Yi looked at Chen Hao, who was onstage, and seemed to be interested in him. ¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t expect that oneing either. It seemed like I was right. He is much more than what meets the eye. We better be careful in the future!¡± Fang Jiannan said, paranoid. ¡°Hmph, just tell the people in our family to investigate him,¡± Fang Yi said. ¡°That¡¯s exactly what¡¯s bugging me. I have investigated him but I only found out that he was a poor student from Ping An County. I couldn¡¯t find anything else about him no matter how hard I tried. It seems like they were covered up on purpose!¡± Fang Jiannan looked at Chen Hao and said moodily. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. The assembly was quite interesting. Liang Fei seemed to have suffered a huge shock and ran out without a word. Xu Yangyang knew that Liang Fei was hurt, so she ran after him. ¡°Liang Fei, wait for me!¡± Xu Yangyang cried as she ran. Liang Fei ran to the park and stopped at a willow tree with an angry expression. Xu Yangyang knew that the only w in his character was that he would easily feel humiliated. When he was pushed aside by the workers just now, who then respectfully told Chen Hao to stand in the middle, Xu Yangyang knew that Liang Fei was hurt. m! Liang Fei punched the willow tree with all his might, venting his anger. ¡°Liang Fei, cheer up. So what if Chen Hao donates more than you? You¡¯re the first runner-up in the provincial taekwondopetition. You¡¯re much better than him. Don¡¯t feel bad!¡± Xu Yangyang said with tears welling up in her eyes. ¡°Liang Fei, don¡¯t forget your dreams. How could you be upset over a thing like that? The taekwondo appearance. The apuse then would still belong to you, and only you!¡± Xu Yangyangforted him. Liang Fei felt better atst. Yes, the honor of their ss would still be brought by him at that critical moment. The admiring looks and the apuse would naturally be his! Liang Fei, what are you doing? Why are you so upset over this? ¡°I understand. Thank you, Yangyang!¡± After saying that, he returned dejectedly. No matter what Yangyang said, he was still hurt. After the ceremony ended, Chen Hao came out with Wang Xiaohua. Wang Xiaohua seemed to have remembered something and ran to the nearest store, buying a ton of things. ¡°Why did you buy so much food? Are you that hungry?¡± Chen Hao chuckled resignedly. ¡°No, Chen Hao. This is a present. It¡¯s along the way, soe with me...¡± Wang Xiaohua suddenly smiled sweetly. Chapter 362 Humiliated Chapter 362 Humiliated ¡°Who do you want to give it to?¡± This was the first time Chen Hao had seen Wang Xiaohua like this, so he smiled resignedly. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s for a girl that I have always liked. She¡¯s from the taekwondo club and she entered the school something for her!¡± Wang Xiaohua chuckled. Seeing him like this, Chen Hao was happy for him. Wang Xiaohua was a cunning person but he was true to his friends. Therefore, Chen Hao also treated him as a friend. So, Chen Hao went with him to the taekwondo club. He saw many people training there. Wang Xiaohua looked around with the food wrapped in his arms. Then, his eyes fell on a pretty girl who had her hair up in a ponytail. ¡°Haha, Qin Nuan, look who¡¯s here? That fatty hase to give you food!¡± As soon as Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao entered the room, the people who were practicing taekwondo all stopped and pointed at Wang Xiaohua, mocking him. Chen Hao could tell that only a few people truly treated Wang Xiaohua as a friend in school, and there were even fewer who saw him as their equal. ¡°You are so devoted to her! It¡¯s so rare for a boy to turn up every day and to give you gifts. Qin Nuan, why don¡¯t you be his girlfriend? He¡¯s a good man!¡± A few girls came over to tease Qin Nuan. Qin Nuan was a very beautiful girl. Listening to everyone¡¯s mockeries, she looked at the short and chubby Wang Xiaohua. She was very insulted. She then stomped over to Wang Xiaohua angrily. ¡°Wang Xiaohua, didn¡¯t I tell you not toe again? Why are you here? Don¡¯t you feel annoyed? I feel disgusted when I see you!¡± Qin Nuan ran over and said furiously. ¡°Qin Nuan, I was afraid that you were training too hard, so I bought you something!¡± Wang Xiaohua gave the bag of food to Qin Nuan. Smack! Qin Nuan pped it away. ¡°I don¡¯t want it! I don¡¯t want any of your stuff. Leave now!¡± When Qin Nuan saw that Wang Xiaohua was still standing there, her face became boiling red. ¡°Ooooooh!¡± Many people surrounded them and whooped. ¡°Qin Nuan, why are you being like this? You never used to treat me this way!¡± Wang Xiaohua looked at the snacks that were scattered all over the floor and said with teary eyes. ¡°Are you mad? I told you to leave!¡± Qin Nuan shoved Wang Xiaohua hard. He lost his bnce and fell headfirst to the ground. ¡°Haha, he¡¯s sprawling like a turtle!¡± ¡°A person like him trying to court Qin Nuan is never going to work. No wonder Qin Nuan likes¡­¡± A girl stopped mid-sentence and didn¡¯t continue. She obediently shut her mouth. ¡°Urgh, it¡¯s so annoying! I have to deal with this every day!¡± She then kicked the snacks again and turned to leave. ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you being too harsh on him?¡± Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help but shout at her. ¡°Did you know that Wang Xiaohua was thinking of you when he left campus? He was afraid that you were training too hard so he came over to give you some food. Even if you don¡¯t like him, you don¡¯t have to treat him this way,¡± Chen Hao said angrily. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s none of your business. I can treat him however I want to. Who told him toe here? He is trying to embarrass me on purpose! Just leave!¡± Qin Nuan looked like she wanted to go over and hit Wang Xiaohua. Chen Hao stood in front of him and pushed her away. Qin Nuan was furious. In a sh, she had raised her leg and kicked Chen Hao on his chest. Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect her to be such a crabby person. He took the blow and staggered backward, falling onto the ground. Qin Nuan knew that she was too impetuous. She also knew Wang Xiaohua¡¯s feelings for her. However, she didn¡¯t have anymore feelings for him, so what was the point of him courting her? Also, as a girl, she was vain. Wang Xiaohua was not exactly fit nor handsome. If she was treated in the same way by a hot guy, she wouldn¡¯t feel any aversion. But this was Wang Xiaohua, and the mere thought made her feel embarrassed. Also, this happened in front of all the boys and girls. The only thing that she wanted to do now was to kick him away. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± When Wang Xiaohua saw that Chen Hao had taken a blow for him, he went over hurriedly to pull Chen Hao up. Chen Hao wanted to continue arguing with Qin Nuan, but Wang Xiaohua saw that a few stout guys were heading over. He was afraid that Chen Hao would be beaten up, so he pulled him away and left. ¡°Chen Hao it¡¯s my fault that you got beaten up, but don¡¯t me Qin Nuan. It¡¯s all my fault! I embarrassed her and made her feel humiliated in front of the students from the taekwondo club. It¡¯s my fault!¡± Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao had reached a small park outside campus. Wang Xiaohua sat on the ground and began to cry. Chen Hao had taken a blow and his chest hurt, but seeing Wang Xiaohua like this, he didn¡¯t say anything. He could see his former self in Wang Xiaohua. Chen Hao would rather take a beating than let Yang Xia suffer any harm. Ha! Chen Hao patted his shoulders. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t cry. You told me you guys had a great rtionship, but I don¡¯t see it!¡± Chen Hao was confused. ¡°We were close before. We grew up together but she changed when she got into university...¡± Then, Wang Xiaohua told Chen Hao their story in detail without stopping to take a breath. When they were children, Wang Xiaohua and Qin Nuan were indeed good friends. In school, whenever someone bullied Qin Nuan, Wang Xiaohua would always stand up for her. The biggest fight he got into was when they were in fourth grade. Qin Nuan was blocked by a few senior students. They were all too young to know anything at that time. A guy would write a love letter to a girl if he Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. thought that she was pretty, then asked her to be his girlfriend. If they were rich, they would block a girl¡¯s way and demand her to be his girlfriend. This was more or less what happened. To protect Qin Nuan, Wang Xiaohua had fought with them. He was pushed over by someone and the skin on his knee was scraped off, leaving a scar that could still be seen today. It was simr to how Chen Hao had protected Wang Xue in junior high. So, Qin Nuan became close friends with Wang Xiaohua. After graduating from high school, they became a couple. Subsequently, Wang Xiaohua felt that Qin Nuan had changed. Wang Xiaohua felt that she was avoiding him. Then, she told Wang Xiaohua not to be with her if others were around, and to keep their rtionship a secret. Not long ago, Qin Nuan said that they should take a break. Then, it turned into this. Wang Xiaohua didn¡¯t believe that she had changed in such a short amount of time, so he went to her obstinately every day. But now, it had progressed to this point. Chen Hao shook his head after Wang Xiaohua finished his story. He didn¡¯t know how tofort him, because he was exactly the same when he was with Yang Xia. So he just patted Wang Xiaohua¡¯s shoulder. Wang Xiaohua dried his tears and said he felt a lot better after getting it off his chest, and was fine for the moment. Only then did Chen Hao rx. The two of them prepared to go back. Suddenly, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. It was from Su Ziyue. ¡°Chen Hao,e back quickly!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Judging by her tone, Su Ziyue seemed to be panicking... Chapter 363 I’ll Teach You Some Moves Chapter 363 I¡¯ll Teach You Some Moves ¡°What happened? Calm down and speak slowly!¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°It¡¯s Grandfather Qin. He insisted on packing his things and leaving. I can¡¯t stop him!¡± ¡°That¡¯s quite sudden. Why does he want to leave when there¡¯s nothing wrong?¡± Chen Hao asked helplessly. Chen Hao felt that this old man, Qin Yifan, was somewhat mysterious, and he also knew many things. At the same time, Chen Hao felt pity for Mr. Qin because he was alone even in his old age. They had met because of fate, and he had helped Chen Hao greatly. Therefore, Chen Hao did not reject him when he clung onto him, and was even willing to offer him a decent and enjoyable life when he was here. Everything was fine before, and Chen Hao had brought him to his vi to live with him. Because he was Ziyue¡¯s life savior, Ziyue looked after him meticulously and treated him as her own grandfather. It all became unusual when Chen Hao started to locate the whereabouts of the Fang Family. At that time, he noticed the strange expression on Mr. Qin¡¯s face. For the next few days, he started to talk less to Chen Hao, as if he had a weight on his shoulders. However, he beat around the bush when Chen Hao asked him what was on his mind, leaving Chen Hao helpless in this situation. At this moment, he replied, ¡°Alright. Don¡¯t panic. I¡¯ll go back and ask him if he is facing any problems!¡± After parting ways with Wang Xiaohua, Chen Hao returned home. ¡°I really must go now, Ziyue. I will visit you once I have the opportunity. You¡¯re a good girl, and I will never forget you!¡± When Chen Hao arrived home, Qin Yifan was carrying his travelling bag and was about to leave. Chen Hao came at the right time and met with him. ¡°Grandson, you¡¯re back. Nice timing, let me bid you farewell. I¡¯ll be leaving now!¡± Qin Yifan said. ¡°Mr. Qin, aren¡¯t youfortable staying here? Why do you want to leave now? Even if you are anxious to go home, let me send you there in a car!¡± ¡°No, no. Grandson, I understand your filial piety. But I won¡¯t be able to leave if I don¡¯t leave now!¡± Qin Yifan mumbled thest few words. ¡°Pardon? What did you say?¡± Chen Hao could not make out what Mr. Qin said. ¡°Ahem! I say, it¡¯s not necessary for the trouble. I really must go now!¡± Mr. Qin patted Chen Hao¡¯s chest. ¡°Ouch!¡± Chen Hao rubbed his chest in pain. ¡°What? You¡¯re in pain even though I patted you softly? Are you made of paper?¡± Qin Yifan was stunned. Su Ziyue ran toward them anxiously and asked, ¡°Chen Hao, are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I was just kicked by a girl when I wasn¡¯t paying attention.¡± ¡°What? Who? Why did she hit you?¡± Su Ziyue asked in concern. Chen Hao shook his head and said he would tell herter. Indeed. Qin Nuan was skilled in taekwondo and she was strong. On the other hand, Qin Yifan shook his head speechlessly. ¡°How can I feel at ease if I leave now? Grandson, you have an overly kind heart. I¡¯m worried that you don¡¯t even know how you ended up dead after I leave!¡± Qin Yifan recalled the incident in the hotelst time where Young Master Long ordered his subordinates to scheme against Chen Hao. If he had not stopped it, Chen Hao¡¯s shoulder bone would have been shattered by the blow. ¡°Not really, actually. I just didn¡¯t hit back at that time. If I hit back, I can still do some damage!¡± Chen Hao was not someone who was shameless. After all, his reputation would be tarnished if people knew that he was hit by a girl. ¡°Bah! You? I know you are strong, but you will be beaten to a pulp if your opponent has some moves! You can¡¯t possibly expect others to protect you every time.¡± Qin Yifan scratched his head. Chen Hao nodded. He had thought of learning some moves from the Dragon Tiger Brothers, or practice boxing. However, he could never find the time. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll stay here for a few more days. There¡¯s too little time for you to learn the difficult moves, so I¡¯ll teach you a few techniques of wrestling holds where you can use less strength to fight a stronger opponent. This will ensure that normal martial arts practitioners can¡¯t go near you. However, these moves have low destructive power, but they are handy after you have mastered them. Plus, they are easy to learn!¡± Qin Yifan said. ¡°Are you serious? I can learn it within three or four days?¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly as he asked. ¡°You brat. There are so many people begging to learn from me but I probably won¡¯t teach them. You will learn it in three days as I said! Why? Don¡¯t you believe me? Do you think that I¡¯m only boasting? Come, give me a hit. Don¡¯t hold back!¡± Qin Yifan held his bag in one hand and waved at Chen Hao with the other hand. ¡°I¡¯ll pass. I just didn¡¯t hit back when that girl hit me. I¡¯m worried I might hurt you if I hit you.¡± Chen Hao waved his hands. Indeed. Mr. Qin was skinny and old. Chen Hao was afraid that his punch would crack his bones. ¡°Grandson, don¡¯t worry about it and show me what you have. Don¡¯t hold back!¡± Qin Yifan said. Mr. Qin seemed confident about this, so Chen Hao listened to his instruction and threw a punch at his shoulder. Boom! Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Then, there was a loud noise. Qin Yifan had grabbed Chen Hao¡¯s wrist and thrusted forward. The next second, Chen Hao was flung out like a kite without a string. Atst, Chen Haonded brutally on the brick floor outside the vi. He felt that every bone in his body was dislocated and he could not even stand up. ¡°Ah! Chen Hao!¡± Su Ziyue dashed out anxiously when she saw that Chen Hao could not get up. She then propped him up. ¡°Grandson, what do you think? I do have some moves, don¡¯t I?¡± Qin Yifan crouched at the door and cackled heartily while looking at Chen Hao. It was out of Chen Hao¡¯s expectation that Mr. Qin had such extraordinary skills. If Chen Hao did not fall onto the floor, he would not know how he flew out. He only knew that he was in the air right after he threw his punch, thennded on the floor a few secondster, leaving him dizzy and dazed. ¡°Grandfather Qin, why did you use so much strength?¡± Su Ziyueined out of concern. ¡°He¡¯s fine. He is a big boy and he has been working and exercising since young. He isn¡¯t as weak as he seems. Besides, Chen Hao has strong wrist strength, which is suitable to learn this move!¡± Qin Yifan walked toward Chen Hao and gave him a kick. ¡°Are you doneying on the floor? From today onward, I will teach you these few moves! This will be good enough to fight off or escape from your opponent, unless your opponent is an expert.¡± Chen Hao held his arms while standing up. This move was indeed powerful. He then nodded. Three dayster, Mr. Qin left after teaching Chen Hao the moves. Chen Hao tried to persuade him to stay. After all, they had been staying together for some time and they had grown closer. Mr. Qin was fine in every other aspect except for his asional drivel and giddy behavior. At least he was undeniably kind toward Chen Hao and Ziyue. When Mr. Qin left, Ziyue sent him off weeping. She was not willing for him to go. Chen Hao could not figure out why Mr. Qin was abstaining from speaking about some matters. But Chen Hao did not put his nose into Mr. Qin¡¯s business since he did not borate. After all, Chen Hao¡¯s priority was to find out about the Fang Family. This day, Chen Hao arrived at the university with Wang Xiaohua. Coincidently, they bumped into Shen Junwen, Hu Huimin and the other girls. The five of them came to the university together. However, Chen Hao did not greet Hu Huimin this time. Instead, he pretended as if they were just strangers and left. ¡°You! Chen Hao, stand there!¡± Hu Huimin shouted angrily. Chapter 364 An Encounter at the Investment Center Chapter 364 An Encounter at the Investment Center Hu Huimin shouted agitatedly at Chen Hao when she saw him ignoring her. Ignoring me? Who do you think you are?! ¡°What?¡± Chen Hao was feeling quite indifferent toward Hu Huimin, so he decided to just ignore her. Plus, he knew how resentful she felt toward him knowing that he was wealthy now. Therefore, he couldn''t be bothered to talk to her. ¡°What¡¯s so great about bing wealthy? How dare you treat me as if I¡¯m a stranger to you! I just want to know where you get your money from, that¡¯s all!¡± Hu Huimin stared at Chen Hao and asked. ¡°Sorry, but this is my privacy!¡± Chen Hao answered coldly. ¡°A person like you has privacy? I guess things are different now that you are wealthy, huh? Take a look at your past self and your current behavior. I can tell you this, Chen Hao, you''re nothing but an upstart, do you understand? And you reek of the mentality of an upstart! Seriously, you''recking the maturity and steadiness which Wang Jian and the rest have!¡± Hu Huimin taunted. ¡°You can say whatever you want. I¡¯m leaving now with Xiaohua to choose the location for our new Chen Hao shook his head and smiled. After all, this was not his first time being mocked by someone. Then again, it did not affect him no matter how much they mocked him. He couldn''t be bothered wasting his efforts to exin himself. ¡°Newpany? You are opening a newpany?¡± For some reason, Hu Huimin felt ufortable deep down knowing Chen Hao¡¯s life was improving. ¡°Yes. We are opening a travel agency together and Chen Hao will be investing in it!¡± For the first time, Wang Xiaohua could not hold back his excitement. After that, he went in with Chen Hao. It was true. Chen Hao called to inform him of this matter just yesterday afternoon. With his grandmother''s health deteriorating recently, as well as having troubles in his rtionship, Wang Xiaohua was under alot of stress. Fortunately, Chen Hao¡¯s funds came as a timely help which allowed Wang Xiaohua to sail through his crisis. This made Wang Xiaohua deeply grateful to Chen Hao, to the extent of even murmuring Chen Hao¡¯s name in his sleep, more intimately than he would his own brother. Looking at their disappearing figures, Shen Junwen vented in displeasure, ¡°What kind of dumb luck does that brat have?¡± ¡°Who knows? Even someone like Chen Hao is opening apany and he is spending extravagantly!¡± Hu Huimin stomped her foot in anger as she waspletely bewildered. ¡°Hmph! Let¡¯s stand aside and enjoy his pointless actions. When he has wasted all of his money, we¡¯ll see what else he has!¡± Shen Junwen spoke with jealousy. He then paused shortly before continuing, ¡°Enough about Chen Hao. Let¡¯s go. There is a taekwondopetition in the university today. Among all the activities in the campus, thispetition caught my interest the most!¡± Hu Huimin replied, ¡°Of course. Before you joined the police academy, you were already the champion of Jiang Nan province taekwondo in the senior high team. Now that there¡¯s a taekwondopetition being held, I bet you can''t resistmenting on the fresh talents, huh?¡± Both of them chatted as they walked inside. Meanwhile, after Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua reported their attendance, they applied to leave from school and left right away since there was only an extracurricr ss in the morning. The reason why Chen Hao was willing to help Wang Xiaohua was because he saw himself in him. During this period of time, Chen Hao had taken Wang Xiaohua as his own brother. If Wang Xiaohua met with difficulties, he would lend a helping hand whenever he could as it was not a big deal. Besides, Wang Xiaohua was filial to his parents as well as his family. Therefore, Chen Hao knew that Wang Xiaohua had a good personality and respectable values, thus he was willing to support Wang Xiaohua at all times. Eventually, he came up with the idea ofunching a travel agency together. The first step was to decide on theirpany¡¯s address. The location was fixed in an office building of a huge luxurious business za which was located in the city area near University City. This building was located near a scenic area with mountains and rivers. Hence, many industries flocked here as it was fairly popr among the public. The travel agency should not be located at an outlying ce as they needed various resources to be Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. able to arrange theirpanies¡¯ team building activities and annual meetings. At this moment, both of them arrived at the investment center in the business za. ¡°Didn''t we arrange the time during the call earlier? Where is the person who is supposed to tend to us?¡± Chen Hao asked Wang Xiaohua after they went in. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that, Chen Hao. I¡¯ve tried calling that person, but his line was engaged!¡± ¡°Fine. The investment center is crowded anyway, so let¡¯s just wait for a while.¡± Chen Hao nced at the time as he shook his head and smiled helplessly. Suddenly, Wang Xiaohua stared at the entrance in a trance. Noticing his unusual reaction, Chen Hao raised his head and followed his gaze. In his sight, a few young guys and girls came down from a car together and walked toward the investment center. One of the girls held intimately onto the arm of the young man who got down from the driver¡¯s seat. Both of them were chatting and joking while walking into the center together with two other girls behind them. ¡°Qin Nuan, are you not joining the group stage of the whole form that will be starting soon?¡± the two girls asked. ¡°Group stage would be too easy for her. After all, Qin Nuan is an expert in taekwondo. She can just join the final round this afternoon, no need for the group stage! Am I right?¡± the boy repliedcently. ¡°Absolutely! Qin Nuan, you are truly blessed! Now that you have Li Xiang, you can even open your own training school to coach students!¡± the girlsmented with envy. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s just a training institute. I¡¯m just doing the things that I enjoy. Right, Li Xiang?¡± Qin Nuan replied gleefully. ¡°Yes. But Qin Nuan, you must be emotionally prepared and I need to warn you beforehand. Nowadays, thepetition of training institutes is unimaginably strong. There are a variety of training courses out there. I don¡¯t have a deep insight on taekwondo, but my sister trains with you and ording to her, the work hard for it when your business starts running,¡± Li Xiang replied. ¡°No problem. Due to the fiercepetition, I chose the location at the Zhen Da Business za as the visitor flow rate here is quite high!¡± ¡°But this ce¡­ Alright, alright. Let¡¯s not talk about this. I¡¯ll look for my friend¡¯s brother to enquire as he is the business executive here.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Qin Nuan?¡± At this moment, Wang Xiaohua appeared in front of Qin Nuan and stared at the scene before him in surprise. Upon noticing Wang Xiaohua, Qin Nuan awkwardly let go of Li Xiang¡¯s hand. Indeed. Previously, she had told Wang Xiaohua that they should take some time apart. In this period of time, there would be sufficient space for Wang Xiaohua to prove his worth. At the same time, she could focus on her training. Therefore, Wang Xiaohua agreed to take a break temporarily. However, Qin Nuan¡¯s behavior toward Wang Xiaohua after that was obvious to all. Now, she was even walking intimately with another guy. At this moment, Wang Xiaohua finally understood the reason for her actions. Everything Qin Nuan said was a lie! Meanwhile, due to the guilt that Qin Nuan felt, she was rather embarrassed when she saw Wang Xiaohua. ¡°You were lying to me all this time!¡± Wang Xiaohua¡¯s hand started trembling and the investment application material in his hand fell onto the floor at once¡­ Chapter 365 I’m Looking for Mr. Wang Chapter 365 I¡¯m Looking for Mr. Wang ¡°Who lied to you? I don¡¯t know what you are talking about!¡± Qin Nuan rebutted with crossed arms. At this moment, many people in the investment center were looking at them, so Qin Nuan felt even more embarrassed. ¡°Then what are you doing now?¡± Wang Xiaohua took a deep breath before asking. To his dismay, Qin Nuan turned her head to the side and kept silent. ¡°You must be Qin Nuan¡¯s childhood friend, Wang Xiaohua. I have heard about you. Why don¡¯t you look at yourself and have some respect? Get lost now!¡± Li Xiang grabbed the car key of an Audi A6 in his hand and pointed at Wang Xiaohua while insulting him loudly. ¡°Li Xiang? You camete. I have been waiting for you for a while!¡± At this moment, a smartly-dressed staff in a suit and leather shoes trotted toward them and shook Li Xiang¡¯s hand cordially. ¡°Ming, how are you! It¡¯s been a while since we met, and I¡¯m so sorry to make you wait!¡± Both of them had a small talk for a moment. ¡°No problem. I¡¯ve picked a few strategic locations for you. Come with me and pick your choice. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you discounts for the prices!¡± Ming said. ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s choose together!¡± After that Li Xiang pulled Qin Nuan to the side. Obviously, Qin Nuan refused to talk to Wang Xiaohua, so she followed Li Xiang to the side. Wang Xiaohua took the time topose his emotions. In fact, after listening to Chen Hao¡¯s advice, he was almostpletely cooled down. It was just a spike of rage due to the sudden shock that caused him to lose control. After Chen Hao patted on Wang Xiaohua¡¯s shoulder, they went to the side and sat down. ¡°Damn! Ming, did you make a mistake? I checked the investment advertisement on the inte and it wasn''t that expensive to bid a ce for an office! Has it shot up to such a high price now?!¡± A few momentster, Li Xiang¡¯s astonished shouts rang from the side. ¡°Brother, do you think this is expensive? Let me tell you, these venues are the cheapest and their locations are rtively better!¡± ¡°It cost more than a million for just a year¡¯s rental. This would kill me!¡± Li Xiang waspletely shocked by the price. This was too much for him. Although his family was wealthy, their assets and property were not infinite. It was over his limit to invest more than a million for just the initial rental. At the same time, Qin Nuan was also astounded. The investment price on the inte was just starting from 350 thousand a year. She did a rough calction and found the price to be reasonable as the business za was popr and it was near the university. However, she now realized that it was too good to be true. The bidding price was actually starting from 350 thousand and many areas had reached a million by now. Realizing this fact, Qin Nuan finally understood that there was no such thing as a free meal! Good things would nevere that easily. A million. She could only afford this amount in her dreams! ¡°No, Ming. I can¡¯t afford this!¡± Li Xiang was frightened by the price. He then turned back to Qin Nuan and tried to convince her. ¡°Qin Nuan, I think we should choose other ces. This price is way beyond my budget!¡± Upon hearing that, Qin Nuan was overwhelmed with disappointment. After all, every girl had her vanity. Zhen Da Business za was a well-known consumer center throughout the country. In simpler words, it had extremely high status. More importantly, it was located beside the campus of University City. If they set up an institute here, everyone would envy her and the advertising effect would be great. Hence, Qin Nuan really liked this ce. But¡­ Sigh! ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Nuan nodded depressingly. Upon hearing their words, Ming started to look at them differently. He took his materials and left after a simple chat. ¡°Qin Nuan, let¡¯s go. It¡¯s still early now, so we can look for other ces. There are many more ces with an annual rental of 70 to 80 thousand!¡± Li Xiang said. ¡°I know. But I still want to look around!¡± Qin Nuan thought inwardly, Even if I can¡¯t afford the rent here, I can still enjoy the investment center with my eyes. After that, the few girls explored around. ¡°Manager Zhao, good day!¡± Suddenly, there was amotion in the hall. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was walking over here and many customers in the Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. investment center greeted this man. Because he was none other than the general manager of the investment center. Naturally, he was deeply respected by everyone. ¡°He is the general manager of the investment center, Manager Zhao He! He is an impressive man!¡± Li Xiang exined the identity of the middle-aged man to the three girls including Qin Nuan. Qin Nuan scoffed inwardly, What is the point of knowing Manager Zhao? He doesn''t know you anyway! At this moment, the crowd wanted to approach Manager Zhao to greet him, but he waved at them to stop them. He seemed rather anxious at the moment. After that, he sprinted across the hall while looking around. Finally, he found his target. It was a group of young people. Upon spotting them, he rushed toward their direction delightedly. Qin Nuan and Li Xiang were exploding with excitement now, because Manager Zhao was running toward them! ¡°Mr. Wang? Is Mr. Chen not with you?¡± As expected, Manager Zhao stopped in front of Li Xiang and spoke reverently with a smile. This scene caused everyone to sink into silence and focus their eyes here. ¡°Mr. Wang? Manager Zhao, you must have got the wrong person. My surname is Li, and I am Li Xiang!¡± Li Xiang¡¯s face was flushed with excitement as he replied promptly with a smile. Qin Nuan was biting her lips out of extreme nervousness as well. What? ¡°Oh, my apologies. I¡¯ve mistaken you for someone else!¡± Manager Zhao was mortified. From the call, he was informed of some information about Mr. Wang Xiaohua. He knew that Mr. Wang was a student in Chengdu University. Most importantly, he was a friend of Mr. Chen, who was greatly emphasized by that big boss from the headquarter through the call he made personally. Therefore, Zhao He treated Mr. Wang Xiaohua with utmost respect. ¡°I assumed that you are a student from Chengdu University because you seem like a university student. Well, my important customer is also a student from Chengdu University, so I¡¯ve mistaken you for him,¡± Zhao He exined with a bitter smile. ¡°Really? What a coincidence. Manager Zhao, what¡¯s his name? Perhaps I can help you to find him!¡± Li Xiang did not expect he could speak directly with Manager Zhao of the investment center, so he offered to help immediately. Qin Nuan nodded continuously as well. After all, she had extensive connections in the university. ¡°Oh, I appreciate that! I am looking for Mr. Wang Xiaohua. Is there any chance you¡¯ve seen him around?¡± Zhao He asked. ¡°W-Who did you say you are looking for?¡± Upon hearing Manager Zhao¡¯s words, Qin Nuan felt as if someone ced a bomb beside her ears. With a deafening boom, her mind was nk at once. Qin Nuan even thought that she might be hallucinating. Mr. Wang Xiaohua? Manager Zhao was actually looking for Wang Xiaohua? How is that possible? Why would Manager Zhao, a person with such a high status, look for him? ¡°Mr. Wang Xiaohua. Do you know him?¡± Zhao He could tell from their reaction that they probably did not know Mr. Wang. He was acting unwisely due to his anxiety, so he decided to call Wang Xiaohua directly. He had wasted his time as he was led by this guy to think that he knew Mr. Wang. He then took out his phone immediately. ¡°Manager Zhao, there¡¯s no need to call. I¡¯m right here!¡± At this moment, Wang Xiaohua stood up and told Manager Zhao. Chapter 366 Taekwondo Competition Chapter 366 Taekwondo Competition Wang Xiaohua stood up and walked over to Zhao He to shake his hand. ¡°Manager Zhao, we spoke on the phone yesterday. I called you just now but I couldn¡¯t get through,¡± Wang Xiaohua said. ¡°I¡¯m truly sorry for that, Mr. Wang. I was on the line attending to some matters regarding my daughter¡¯s education. I¡¯m absolutely sorry!¡± Manager Zhao apologized repeatedly. ¡°Right, Mr. Wang. The 4D model of the shops as well as the office area that you are interested in buying have been prepared in the exhibition hall!¡± After saying that, Manager Zhao took out the materials. ¡°Mr. Wang, allow me to give you a brief introduction. The shops and the office area of thepany cost a total of 35 million. I¡¯ve exempted other misceneous fees for you because you will be submitting a full payment in one go.¡± ¡°Alright, no problem. Let¡¯s sit down to discuss!¡± Wang Xiaohua made an inviting gesture. On the other side, Qin Nuan¡¯s breath became short and rapid. She felt as if her soul had left her body. How did this happen? How could it be Wang Xiaohua? When did he be so capable? ¡°Manager Zhao, I think you¡¯re being deceived by this fat guy! Do you think that he can afford to pay 35 million?¡± Li Xiang eximed in disbelief. ¡°Yes, Manager Zhao. We know him personally and he definitely can¡¯t pay up 35 million! He doesn¡¯t deserve your respect!¡± In great torment, Qin Nuan added anxiously. She felt as if her heart had been ripped out of her body. ¡°I think you are the one who made a mistake. Looking only at their pre-signed tourism projects, Mr. Wang¡¯s Chengdu Fei Hua Travel Agency already has more than 200 parties, and the numbers are still increasing. We have also checked through their financial status. They have almost 80 million in funds!¡± Zhao He looked at them in disdain and smiled bitterly. What did they take me for? A three-year-old child? Would someone like me make a mistake on this simple matter? What a joke! Qin Nuan waspletely lost for words as she watched Wang Xiaohua sign the contract with Zhao He, and witnessed Zhao He bowed in deep respect to Chen Hao who was standing at the side. She had only wanted to rent a slot, yet she could not even afford the rental. In contrast, Wang Xiaohua purchased two areas in one shot. On top of that, Wang Xiaohua started a travel agency, and he even had more than 200 parties signing up for the projects. What is going on?! After signing the contract, Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua were about to leave. Li Xiang kept his head down and did not have the courage to look up at Wang Xiaohua after what happened just now, while Qin Nuan ran after them, refusing to give up. ¡°Xiaohua, y-you started apany? When did it happen, and why didn¡¯t I know that?¡± Qin Nuan asked embarrassedly. ¡°Just two days ago. Today is the first day of the official operation, and we are still in the midst of Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. designing projects!¡± Wang Xiaohua replied after ncing at Qin Nuan. He did not ignore her question and answered her honestly. ¡°Then¡­ How did you be so wealthy?¡± Qin Nuan asked again. ¡°That¡¯s none of your business!¡± Wang Xiaohua left without hesitation this time. It seemed like he had never held his head this high before. ¡°You!¡± Qin Nuan stomped her foot furiously. She was angry and anxious at the same time. It felt like something was stuck in her chest, and she could not get it out no matter how hard she tried. How did this happen? How did this happen? Qin Nuan asked herself repeatedly in her heart. Meanwhile, it was already afternoon by the time Chen Hao finished apanying Wang Xiaohua to After having their lunch, they went back to the university. The whole ss had gotten to know that Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao started apany. Even the news of numerous tourism projects had joined in was spread widely. In short, it was a shocking news that stirred up everyone. The moment they arrived at the ssroom¡ª ¡°Wow!¡± There was a loud cheer. ¡°Chen Hao and Xiaohua, what have you gone to do?¡± A few beautiful girls surrounded them and initiated a conversation with Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua. They even looked at Chen Hao with eyes full of tenderness. In fact, everyone in the ss could guess that it was Chen Hao who helped Wang Xiaohua although Wang Xiaohua was the legal person of thepany. Most importantly, the main source of funds was by Chen Hao. Therefore, all the girls bore a different feeling toward Chen Hao now. Of course, Wang Xiaohua¡¯s status was elevated as well, so there were also many girls and boys who went over to chat with him. Meanwhile, Xu Yangyang and Lin Shengnan were gloomy. After all, they had been bullying Chen Hao since the beginning. Now that Chen Hao suddenly built up his prestige in the ss, Xu Yangyang was extremely anxious. At the same time, Xu Yangyang took a nce at Liang Fei. In the past, there were always swarms of people who would talk to Liang Fei or approach him in order to build rapports whenever the ss was over. But there was not a single person around him now. Xu Yangyang walked over to him and patted gently on the back of Liang Fei¡¯s hand, telling him to calm down. After all, Liang Fei had yet to get out of the embarrassment from the charity ceremony. ¡°Excuse me, is Liang Fei here?¡± At this moment, a girl came looking for him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu Yangyang inquired. ¡°Oh, Director Yang informed me to invite Liang Fei over to this afternoon¡¯spetition to hold a performance!¡± that girl exined. ¡°That¡¯s great! Fei, did you hear that? Even the university came to invite you!¡± Xu Yangyang shouted delightedly. Liang Fei nodded. After that, Xu Yangyang banged on the table and announced, ¡°Liang Fei will be attending this afternoon¡¯s taekwondopetition. Everyone, let¡¯s go watch thepetition and cheer for Fei!¡± ¡°Okay! Congrattions, Fei!¡± their ssmates echoed. Although the limelight was on Chen Hao instead of Liang Fei now, he still had quite an influence. Besides, everyone was interested to watch his taekwondo performance. Therefore, they agreed to attend thepetition and headed off to the university¡¯s gym together. ¡°Chen Hao, let¡¯s go too. Most of the sses are going together!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Hao was also eager to watch it. After all, everyone had dreamed of bing a hot-blooded hero since childhood. Although the passion for fighting had faded after Chen Hao grew up, he still liked it. At the same time, he was interested to watch Liang Fei¡¯s performance show. It was hard to put it into words. Although Liang Fei couldn''t stand the sight of Chen Hao, Chen Hao only felt indifferent toward him. Therefore, he went along with the ssmates. When they arrived at the gym, it was already crowded with the audience. With the aid of Liang Fei¡¯s position, the two sses including Chen Hao¡¯s had the privilege to watch at the front row and cheer for Liang Fei from a close distance. After all, they needed an expert to perform a show in order to enliven the atmosphere for this sort of huge asion. Besides, Liang Fei came in second in the provincialpetition. When Chen Hao walked into the gym, he realized that there weren''t just contestants of taekwondo More surprisingly, Shen Junwen was wearing a taekwondopetition uniform. This attracted widespread attention from the audience. Beside Shen Junwen, Xu Wentao stood in apetition uniform as well. All of the girls from Xu Wentao and Shen Junwen¡¯s ss raised the signboards with ¡®Shen Junwen¡¯ written on it and the cheers for him were deafening. Obviously, everyone in their ss knew the extent of Shen Junwen¡¯s skills. Meanwhile, Liang Fei was warming up his body. Upon noticing Shen Junwen, his eyes twitched involuntarily. ¡°It¡¯s him?¡± Liang Fei eximed in astonishment. Chapter 367 The Rage of Xu Yangyang Chapter 367 The Rage of Xu Yangyang At the same time, Shen Junwen noticed Liang Fei and raised his eyebrows as well. Without any dy, they walked out together. ¡°Are you the champion of Jiang Nan province¡¯s youth group, Shen Junwen? I watched yourpetition when I participated in the nationalpetitionst year!¡± Surprisingly, Liang Fei looked at Shen Junwen with eyes full of respect. ¡°Actually, I do know you as well. You are the runner-up of Chengdu province¡¯s youth group this season. It was a narrow win for the champion!¡± Shen Junwen was also astonished. Both of them were specifically invited by the organizer to perform a show. The sight of them talking to each other attracted the contestants and the audience¡¯s attention. Everyone¡¯s gaze focused on the both of them. ¡°Yes. You have achieved a high rank in the nationalpetition. I¡¯ve always looked forward to Shen Junwen and replied. In his eyes, there was a strong gleam of will to fight. On the other side, Hu Huimin smiledcently as she looked at Shen Junwen. Indeed. Shen Junwen was outstanding. Not only his fighting skills, his reputation in the field of taekwondo was fairly well-known. This was one of the reasons why Hu Huimin admired Shen Junwen. ¡°Yes. Today is indeed a great opportunity!¡± Shen Junwen shook his head while smiling bitterly. In just a short moment, their suggestion was approved by the organizer. The battle between the two experts would be the highlight of this event. Naturally, the battle between the champion of Jiang Nan province versus the runner-up of Chengdu province drove the crowd into an energetic frenzy. Even many of the taekwondo contestants were excited and inspired at the same time, causing them to fight even more enthusiastically during thepetition. ¡°Chen Hao, quick, look who that is!¡± While Chen Hao was immersed in thepetition, Wang Xiaohua suddenly nudged his arm. Chen Hao then looked in the direction pointed by Wang Xiaohua. In his sight, two beautiful figures had appeared on the stand by the sides. They were also watching the Those two were none other than Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi. ¡°They came as well?¡± Chen Hao was bewildered. The two girls were living a routine. Wherever they went, they would always pick a seat at the corner and refrain from interacting with people around them. Chen Hao¡¯s stare seemed to be noticed by Fang Jiannan, so she looked at Chen Hao at once. In that moment, their eyes met. But soon, Fang Jiannan frowned slightly and shifted her gaze. Chen Hao did not continue staring at her as well. ¡°Chen Hao, I¡¯m not sure if you¡¯ve noticed it.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°That two goddesses have peeked at you several times, especially Fang Yi. Two days ago during a ss, Fang Yi was whispering to Fang Jiannan, and I noticed that she sneaked a peek at you from the corner of her eyes! Apart from that, didn¡¯t Xu Yangyang pick a fight with you frequently these two days? When you and her had a row, Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi were also staring at you! Even just now, I saw both of them looking at you. Chen Hao, could these two goddesses have fallen in love with you?¡± Wang Xiaohua exined his analysis. ¡°Bullsh*t! How could that be possible?¡± Chen Hao shook his head in disbelief and smiled. At this moment, Wang Xiaohua shut his mouth as well, because Qin Nuan had entered the stage and started thepetition. Wang Xiaohua stared fixedly at Qin Nuan. Although it was apparent that Wang Xiaohua was cold toward Qin Nuan this morning, deep down, he still had feelings for Qin Nuan. Just like Chen Hao and Yang Xia. Back then, even though he hated her, he still could not turn a blind eye when she was in danger. Bang! The battlested for seven to eight minutes before Qin Nuan identally lost. She was kicked out of the stage andnded on the floor near Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua. Qin Nuan pressed on her chest and bit her lips softly while looking at Wang Xiaohua. Realizing Wang Xiaohua was ignoring her, a tinge of disappointment shed across her face. She felt like she had lost something precious. As time went by, thepetition was drawing to an end. But it was this time when the crowd grew enormously. All the students were gathering toward the everyone rushed to the scene feeling hyped up for it. Soon, the venue was overcrowded with the audience. At this moment, Shen Junwen and Liang Fei had started to warm up their bodies. ¡°Both Shen Junwen and Liang Fei are skillful. Though we all know that Liang Fei is our province¡¯s runner-up, I heard that Shen Junwen is the champion of Jiang Nan province and he is an absolute expert!¡± ¡°Oh god! This will be interesting. But I still support Liang Fei! I hope that Liang Fei will bring pride to Chengdu!¡± ¡°Well, I expect Shen Junwen to win. After all, Shen Junwen seems like an experienced contestant!¡± Everyone was discussing the uing battle. Even Chen Hao¡¯s ssmates were discussing it fervently. ¡°Chen Hao, who do you think will win the battle?¡± Out of nowhere, a few girls suddenly gathered around Chen Hao and asked curiously. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°Well, both of them seem skillful. It¡¯s hard to say who will win for now.¡± ¡°Just tell us. Don¡¯t you know Shen Junwen?¡± A girl swayed Chen Hao¡¯s arm. Actually, Chen Hao knew Shen Junwen¡¯s identity, so he was sure that Shen Junwen¡¯s ability was not limited to taekwondo. After all, Shen Junwen¡¯s job wasplicated. To be honest, Shen Junwen was indeed talented, but Chen Hao would not say that out loud. ¡°Why bother asking him? He knows nothing as he has no knowledge in taekwondo. Hmph! All that you''ve got is that little amount of dirty cash. Do you think you are qualified toment on the Yangyang turned to Chen Hao and interrupted their conversation. She had been acting outrageously these two days, taunting and humiliating Chen Hao whenever she had the chance. Chen Hao did not bother to get back at her as she was just a girl. Indeed. Chen Hao knew that he stole the limelight from Liang Fei during the charity event, but it was excessively rude to mock him for so long. But that was not the worst. When Shen Junwen was battling against Liang Fei, Xu Yangyang deliberately moved her body to a side and blocked Chen Hao¡¯s view. When Chen Hao moved to the left, she would shift her body to the left; when Chen Hao moved to the right, she would move to the right as well. In simpler words, she was intentionally making it an unpleasant experience for Chen Hao to watch the Chen Hao was bottling up with rage. With every passing second, the battle had be quite intense. In the beginning, Liang Fei started with aggressive attacks, his moves and techniques were wless. On the other hand, Shen Junwen did notunch many effective attacks. He was mainly dodging Liang Fei¡¯s blows. In theter stage, Liang Fei¡¯s attacks started to weaken. Although heunched the attacks, they failed to inflict any sessful damage on Shen Junwen. ¡°He lost.¡± On the other side of the stand, Fang Jiannan stated in an indifferent tone. ¡°What? Who lost? Shen Junwen? I see that Liang Fei¡¯s attacks are impable, and his moves are so cool! But look at Shen Junwen, his moves are so simple. Is he really a champion? Could it be just a rumor?¡± said Fang Yi. Though they had yet to talk to each other, Liang Fei was her ssmate in their joint ss after all. Naturally, Fang Yi¡¯s favor was rtively inclined toward Liang Fei. ¡°The greatest truths are the simplest. Although Liang Fei¡¯s moves are quite cool, his attacking strategies would be exposed faster. As the provincial champion, Shen Junwen is indeed smart. You just need to wait and see!¡± Fang Jiannan exined. As expected, when Liang Fei was preparing for another round of attack, Shen Junwen suddenly leaped into mid-air and made a roundhouse kick. His movement was smooth and cool, sending Liang Fei out of the stage with a kick. ¡°Ah!¡± This scene threw the whole audience into a euphoric state and everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs. Only Xu Yangyang was taken over by anxiety. Initially when Liang Fei wasunching attacks, Xu Yangyang was cheering for him. Now that he lost to just one move, it was only natural for Xu Yangyang to sulk. ¡°Fantastic!¡± Chen Hao was also watching the battle with great interest. At this moment, he could not suppress his excitement and cheered loudly. However, Xu Yangyang stood up immediately when she heard his cheers and red at him. ¡°What do you mean ¡®fantastic¡¯? Do you even understand what¡¯s going on?!¡± She shouted loudly, almost everyone could hear her. At this moment, everyone focused their eyes on Chen Hao¡­ Chapter 368 Kicking Xu Yangyang to the Floor Chapter 368 Kicking Xu Yangyang to the Floor ¡°Is there something wrong with you?¡± Chen Hao sted. ¡°Hmph! So what if Fei lost this battle? Why are you so excited? Why don¡¯t you take a look at yourself? If you have the guts, go on and take the stage!¡± Xu Yangyang berated. It was as if she was pouring out all of her rage onto Chen Hao. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Suddenly, she grabbed a bottle of mineral water and sshed it directly at Chen Hao. Fortunately, Chen Hao dodged it. At that moment, he was extremely infuriated but held himself back from pping Xu Yangyang. Just then, a group of ssmates rushed over to them and dragged Xu Yangyang away in order to prevent a brawl from happening. On the other hand, Hu Huimin took a nce at Chen Hao, who was being mocked, before diverting her gaze to Shen Junwen who was standing in the limelight. Indeed, there was not a single time that Shen Junwen let them down. At this moment, a referee got onto the stage and walked toward Shen Junwen. He thenplimented Shen Junwen, ¡°I¡¯ve never met a young man like you who could disy such ssic and aesthetic moves. This is certainly as expected from a champion of Jiang Nan province¡¯s youth team!¡± The referee seemed almost in his forties and was probably a well-known person in this industry. Shen Junwen shook his head with a bitter smile. ¡°You consider this a ssic and aesthetic move? Someone might have never seen a true ssic move!¡± Suddenly, a girl¡¯s voice full of dissatisfaction rang. Upon hearing this voice, everyone became silent at once and looked at that girl. That girl was none other than Fang Yi. Initially, Fang Yi and Fang Jiannan nned to leave after the battle was over. However, the ttery of the referee toward Shen Junwen and the cheers from the crowd made its way to Fang Yi¡¯s ears. In the beginning, Fang Yi did not feel repugnance toward Shen Junwen even if Liang Fei had lost the battle. However, her repulsion started to grow when Fang Yi heard thatpliment. Even if it was a praise, it was obviously too much. Everyone who knew these two ¡®goddesses¡¯ muted themselves at this moment and watched quietly at the scene before them. ¡°Enough. Stop talking now!¡± Fang Jiannan tugged gently at Fang Yi¡¯s arm and signaled her to leave. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, have you ever seen a true ssic move? Some people can be so jealous,¡± Hu Huimin was the one who spoke. Of course she was unhappy seeing someone criticizing Shen Junwen. Besides, she had no idea of the ability of these two girls. ¡°Of course. In her eyes, the provincial champion is nothing but equivalent to a beginner student¡¯s level!¡± Fang Yi pointed at Fang Jinnan as she spoke. She then added softly, ¡°Jiannan, battle with him and teach him a lesson!¡± Fang Yi said out of anger. Of course, Fang Jiannan would not battle with him. After all, she would have participated in this kind of Unfortunately, she had yet to meet a worthy opponent. Therefore, she shook her head to refuse and was about to leave. ¡°Don¡¯t leave now. Battle with him if you are really that capable!¡± Hu Huimin smiled smugly. ¡°Huimin, stop it. I won¡¯t battle with a girl. You know that too, I¡¯ve never hit a girl!¡± Shen Junwen smiled bitterly as he spoke. Unexpectedly, Fang Jiannan stopped at once when she heard that. She then turned back to look at Shen Junwen. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll battle against you!¡± It was all because of a phrase by Shen Junwen, ¡®never hit a girl¡¯. Why was it that some boys thought that girls were doomed to be weaker than boys, and that girls would never outperform boys in anything? And this was also the reason why she and Fang Yi were never qualified to participate in their family matters. Since young, Fang Jiannan hated this sentence. Therefore, she changed her mind and agreed. ¡°Yay!¡± Fang Yi screamed in excitement. ¡°The goddess is going for a battle?¡± ¡°Oh my! This is the real highlight!¡± The atmosphere was jazzed up again. Shen Junwen shrugged his shoulder helplessly at the audience, signaling to everyone that he was up for the challenge. Soon, Fang Jiannan returned to the scene with a change of uniform. Her style changed again after tying up her hair into a ponytail, causing all the boys to be allured. Even the girls were jealous of her. Chen Hao stared fixedly at Fang Jiannan. He did not expect Fang Jiannan to also be skilled in these. On the other hand, Shen Junwen¡¯s action roused the hisses from the audience. To everyone¡¯s astonishment, he took out a ck strip cloth and covered his eyes. It was absolutely domineering and doughty! After that, Shen Junwen made a beckoning gesture at Fang Jiannan. ¡°You may attack now!¡± Fang Jiannan did not express any feelings or words toward such apparent contempt. With a rapid sprint, sheunched a swift and violent roundhouse kick. Bang! With a loud hit, she had kicked Shen Junwen right on the face. Shen Junwen did not even have the time to block the attack. Following that kick, he went spinning in mid-air and crashed harshly against the floor. Thending was rapid and violent. Upon witnessing this scene, everyone gasped in great shock. Shen Junwen got up from the floor embarrassedly and took off the cloth from his eyes. He then stared at Fang Jiannan in terror. Even Hu Huimin was dumbfounded because this girl was genuinely skillful. At this moment, Fang Jianan made a beckoning sign at Shen Junwen who was standing with weak knees, inviting him to attack. This action infuriated Shen Junwen, so he dashed toward her. Bang! However, before he could get to Fang Jiannan, she hadunched a reverse spinning kick. Shen Junwen flew backward across and out of the stage, like a kite with a broken string. Everyone gaped at this scene with disbelief. Even Chen Hao waspletely astounded. That was beyond awesome! Shen Junwan was quite skillful, but he could not withstand a single move from Fang Jiannan! He even caused himself to be in such a humiliating situation. ¡°Junwen!¡± Xu Wentao and the others rushed to Shen Junwen, who was covering his chest and was unable to stand, and propped him up. Shen Junwen was drenched in cold sweat due to the tormenting pain, yet his face was full of awe. Even Liang Fei¡¯s heart was filled with admiration and reverence. ¡°Excellent moves! You are so amazing!¡± Xu Yangyang saw that Shen Junwen, who had just defeated Liang Fei, was humiliated by the girl from the ss next door, so she stood up and apuded although Shen Junwen was her brother¡¯s best friend. Her actions stirred the entire court. ¡°Even the most skilled person couldn¡¯t stand a chance against her. I feel that you boys are just mediocre. How boring!¡± Fang Yi saidcently. ¡°Who else refuses to ept this failure? You are wee to battle against her!¡± Fang Yi added. All the boys bowed their heads upon hearing her provocation. Obviously, they were terrified. Xu Wentao was also afraid to take the stage. After all, even the mighty Shen Junwen was defeated. ¡°Yeah. Chen Hao, aren¡¯t you quite good at this too? Why don¡¯t you ept the challenge?¡± At this moment, Xu Yangyang turned to look at Chen Hao behind her and mocked scornfully. ¡°Some people are just idiots. Didn¡¯t you apud and cheer for Shen Junwen just now? You don¡¯t even have the guts to p now, right?¡± Xu Yangyang continued. As if mocking was not enough, she moved her foot and stepped onto Chen Hao¡¯s foot. It was not clear whether she did it deliberately or identally. She was wearing wedge heels, and the pain caused by her step was piercing, causing Chen Hao to grimace in pain. ¡°F*ck off!¡± Out of anger, Chen Hao lifted his leg and sent a kick to Xu Yangyang¡¯s butt. Following that, she fell t onto the floor. ¡°Chen Hao! H-How dare you kick me?¡± Xu Yangyang did not expect Chen Hao to hit her. Now that she was kicked onto the floor in public, she went berserk. ¡°Tao! H-He hit me!¡± Xu Yangyang cried at Xu Wentao. Chapter 369 The Whole Crowd is Stunned Chapter 369 The Whole Crowd is Stunned Xu Wentao was currently helping Shen Junwen to his feet. Earlier, he saw themotion happening over here as well as his little sister being hit by someone. He was enraged and immediately came rushing forward. It was already embarrassing enough that the best fighter in school, Xu Wentao, was not able to stand up for Shen Junwen, who was beaten up by a girl. Now, his own little sister was even being bullied. If he didn¡¯t retaliate now, he would really be an embarrassment. ¡°You dare to hit my sister? You¡¯ve grown tired of living, haven¡¯t you?!¡± Xu Wentao ran over and gave a kick to Chen Hao¡¯s chest. ¡°Damn, did you see that? Xu Wentao is getting nervous now!¡± ¡°Of course he¡¯s nervous! The guy just got looked down upon, yet he didn¡¯t retaliate. That other young man is done for. He even dared to hit Xu Wentao¡¯s little sister!¡± ¡°Xu Wentao is obviously going to release all his anger onto this young man!¡± Just as the crowd held their breath and watched as the kicknded, they saw Xu Wentao¡¯s figure suddenly sped past them after meeting with Chen Hao¡¯s. As though a kite that broke its string, he immediately flew past their eyes. He then hit the ground heavily. Xu Wentao felt as if his body had fallen apart and lost all energy to even stand up. This very scene caused Wang Xiaohua, who had been worried for Chen Hao, to drop his jaw in shock. Xu Yangyang, who was strangely excited, was stunned as well. As for everyone surrounding the fight, they were watching Chen Hao in disbelief. Whatever happened just now was too fast, and no one saw it clearly. Xu Wentao had just been thrown past Chen Hao. How could that be? Hu Huimin obviously saw what just happened and couldn''t help but stare in disbelief. In fact, she had heard about Xu Wentao¡¯s talent in fighting. Apparently he was very good at it, and Chen Hao was nowhere near being his rival. But to say that Chen Hao had thrown him out by ident was a bit too forced of an excuse. ¡°Jiannan! He¡ª¡± Fang Yi stuck her tongue out in disappointment and ran to Fang Jiannan¡¯s side. ¡°I saw it!¡± Fang Jiannan frowned slightly as she looked at Chen Hao with slight curiosity. As for Chen Hao, this was the first time that he had applied the skills Qin Yifan taught him. Frankly speaking, he had acted out of urgency just now, thus he didn''t actually consider his strength beforehand. Nheless, whatever Qin Yifan had taught him was definitely useful. That was also the moment when everyone¡¯s gazes toward Chen Hao changed. ¡°How powerful! Xu Wentao¡¯s skills in fighting were beaten with just that one move!¡± ¡°Exactly. Just now, Fang Jiannan beat Shen Junwen by just a hair in a split second. It looks like she has met her match!¡± ¡°Yeah, I agree! Chen Hao, go up there and fight for us boys¡¯ reputation!¡± Just then, someone was yelling at Chen Hao. Fang Jiannan was pretty, and she was skilled. But, earlier when she swept her gaze across the group of boys, none of them dared to take on her challenge, including Liang Fei. This was extremely embarrassing for all of them as boys. They weren¡¯t men if they couldn¡¯t even beat a girl in a fight! The crowd felt embarrassed and frustrated in their hearts. ¡°Chen Hao, get up there! Beat her up!¡± ¡°Beat her up!¡± ¡°Beat her up!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The boys started to cheer. Meanwhile, the girls also started to cheer for Fang Jiannan, not backing down. ¡°Chen Hao, go up there! I didn¡¯t expect you to be that powerful!¡± Wang Xiaohua massaged Chen Hao¡¯s shoulders excitedly. Fang Jiannan was also extremely excited as she looked over at Chen Hao, clearly prepared. However, Chen Hao was at a loss. Fang Jiannan was extremely skilled, and she was ruthless in her fights. He knew that he wasn¡¯t her rival. ¡°If you¡¯re a man, thene up here and fight! Coward!¡± Fang Yi yelled at Chen Hao. To be honest, she really wanted to see Fang Jiannan fight Chen Hao. ¡°That¡¯s right, if you¡¯re a man then fight!¡± the girls in the crowd yelled at Chen Hao. Chen Hao shook his head as heughed bitterly. He had really bitten off more than he could chew, but he couldn¡¯t step down now. So, he nodded. Qin Yifan had taught him five moves in the past three days. They were to block punches, kicks, swords, daggers, as well as how to fend off someone holding him from behind. Those were the five moves he had learned. These were meant to be used whenever he was in dire need to defend himself. However, it was clear that they could not be used to win a fight. Just as Chen Hao was calcting which moves he should use to block Fang Jiannan, she had already started running toward him at high speed. Her speed was incredibly fast for a girl. Obviously, she had already taken him for a professional fighter. ¡°We¡¯re done for, she¡¯s already so fierce from the beginning!¡± ¡°She¡¯s even more vicious now than when she was up against Shen Junwen!¡± ¡°This is getting interesting. How would Chen Hao be able to handle it?¡± The crowd watched in shock. ¡°He definitely can¡¯t, I don¡¯t think Chen Hao has any actual offensive skills!¡± ¡°How did Xu Wentao get thrown off by him like that? Could it have been a coincidence?¡± The crowd was discussing among themselves. In a sh, Fang Jiannan rushed in front of Chen Hao, and with a quick turn, she lifted herself up with a grand and precise spinning kick in mid-air. Her strength was fierce, and her movements were swift. It was as if she had practiced it a million times. At this moment, Chen Hao recalled a saying, No matter what fancy trick your opponent pulls, if they were to kick, use the second method to block their kick. Right then, Chen Hao quickly pinched an acupoint on Fang Jiannan¡¯s calf and pulled lightly, moving his body to the side. He then saw Fang Jiannan lose her bnce as Xu Wentao did from before. He faced her, and like a kite detached from its string, she immediately flew off! She got thrown out of the area they were fighting in. ¡°Huh?¡± The crowd was even more taken aback with this oue. Damn, Fang Jiannan was so powerful, yet she was also beaten in a split second! Shen Junwen and Hu Huimin were shocked. Even the group of girls with Xu Yangyang, who had been cheering at the side, were taken aback as well. ¡°Jiannan!¡± Fang Yi was so agitated by this that she immediately called out Fang Jiannan¡¯s name. She then ran over, helping Fang Jiannan up. As for Fang Jiannan, she looked as if she had heavily injured her shoulder and was holding onto it as she looked at Chen Hao with a strange gaze. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Ever since she was young, she had done everything to be the best. She knew early on that she was from a different world than others her age. But who would have guessed that the skill she was proudest of would be defeated one day? This was the first time she had ever tasted failure. Apart from that, this person had only used one move against her. She didn¡¯t even bother to look at Hu Huimin¡¯s stunned expression. After that, the whole ce erupted with thunderous cheers. At night, inside a room at the Fang Manor. ¡°Hiss! Be gentler!¡± Currently, Fang Yi was carefully cleaning the wound on Fang Jiannan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s already so swollen! Hmph, I¡¯m so angry. Every one of us are ssmates, so how could he fight you with such viciousness? Look at how bad your shoulder is injured! Hmph! He p*ssed me off, so I¡¯m not going to bother about being ssmates anymore. I¡¯ll get someone to teach him a lesson soon!¡± Fang Yi said angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. I lost fair and square!¡± Fang Jiannan said. ¡°You didn¡¯t lose! He was clearly cheating!¡± Fang Jiannan put on her shirt and looked at Fang Yi helplessly. ¡°Enough. I know very well whether he cheated or not. I¡¯ll apply the ointment by myself. You go help call the twelve teachers in here. I have something to tell them!¡± Chapter 370 The Family Meeting Chapter 370 The Family Meeting Fang Yi then left. However, she came back very soon. ¡°Jiannan, all twelve of the teachers aren¡¯t here, and neither are some of the Fang Elders. I think they¡¯ve all gone to the meeting room. Have you forgotten? Our family always holds a big meeting every year around this time!¡± Fang Yi said. Fang Jiannan sat on the bed and nodded. ¡°I just remembered. Alright then, I¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow.¡± After she said that, she noticed that Fang Yi looked a little hesitant. Fang Jiannan then asked, ¡°What is it?¡± Fang Yi jumped to Fang Jiannan¡¯s side mysteriously and bit her lip lightly as she said, ¡°Jiannan, what do you think happens in those meetings? It happens every year and only the males of the family get to attend. What do they talk about?¡± Obviously, Fang Jiannan didn¡¯t know what to say. She shook her head and eximed, ¡°How am I supposed to know?¡± Then, she nced at Fang Yi. ¡°What are you up to now?¡± ¡°Well, you know what I¡¯m up to. Hey, they¡¯re always keeping us hidden away and because of that, we don¡¯t even know why we¡¯ve been grounded. We don¡¯t know anything that¡¯s happening within the family. Also, Jiannan, it¡¯s been so many years and you¡¯ve been very hardworking and diligent. That puts you way above those men, right? But you¡¯re still being kept in the dark!¡± Fang Yi sighed. Fang Jiannan¡¯s expression darkened as these words managed to hit her where it hurt. Exactly. She had been so hardworking, and it was all to prove that she was stronger than those boys, Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. and that she could carry the responsibilities of the family better than they could. So many years had passed, yet her grandfather still paid no attention to her. ¡°Hey, why don¡¯t we go eavesdrop for a bit? You want to know about what¡¯s going in the family too, right?¡± Fang Yi whispered. If this happened earlier today, Fang Jiannan would have turned Fang Yi down as she didn¡¯t want to anger her grandfather. But Fang Yi¡¯s words had left Fang Jiannan speechless. If this continued, then would Fang Yi and herself be kept in the dark for their whole lives? I have to continue living like this my whole life too? She shook her head. No! Absolutely not! I certainly would not continue living like this, not for the rest of my life! It was this voice in her mind that ignited the rebelliousness within her which Fang Jiannan had been suppressing for many years. She looked at Fang Yi and the two of them nodded at each other. By the time they had secretly made their way to the outside of the meeting room, the meeting had already started. ¡°The two of you, how are your job preparations? Whether you guys can defeat this big rival or not depends heavily on the weapons you will use!¡± At the head of the table, an old man holding onto a walking stick directed a question toward two middle-aged men. ¡°Father, the two of us are almost ready with our preparations. Sadly, the hardest task couldn¡¯t be maybe¡­¡± one of the middle-aged men trailed off, notpleting his sentence. When Fang Jiannan heard that from her hiding spot outside the window, she lifted her head quickly and started paying even more attention. As for the old man, his eyes became blurry after hearing that. ¡°Yes. If he were here, then our Fang family would not need to be so wronged. But he just had to be killed. Looks like only the good die young.¡± Two streams of tears flowed down the old man¡¯s face. ¡°Yes. After he died, you also grew in years, and no one in the Fang family could possibly go against that family face-to-face. What a shame! At least Fang Jiannan is skilled in many areas, and she does not pale inparison to the Eldest Young Master. If we were to train her to be our strongest pir, wouldn¡¯t that be a good idea?¡± another old man in the family asked. ¡°Sigh. Of course I¡¯ve thought about letting Fang Jiannan join us, but she is Fang Zhenghua¡¯s only daughter after all. She¡¯s thest connection we have to Zheng Hua. Since young, she hasn¡¯t known parental love, and I¡¯ve always kept her hidden within the palm of my hand. How could I ever allow her to stand on the frontlines like this?¡± The Fang family¡¯s leader sighed as he shook his head. ¡°Any girl has to be married off eventually. How much can she really handle? Anyway, even the Eldest Young Master Fang Zhenghua was no match for that family, and both her parents got killed off in that scuffle, let alone their little daughter!¡± an oily-faced middle-aged man at the sides said. m! The Second Young Master, Fang Zhengye, mmed the table and red at the speaker angrily. ¡°Situ Hong, what do you mean by that? Have you forgotten all that you owe to our family?¡± ¡°How could I? Ever since I was a boy, my darned father would remind me that our Situ family would forever be a vassal of the Fang family, and that we must always obey them. I¡¯ve been obedient all these years and helped the Fang family gain strength in the Southwest. Even if I didn¡¯t y a major role, I still had a hand in everything, right?¡± the middle-aged fat man, Situ Hong, said as he stared at Fang Zhengye. Apart from the Fang family, there were also some vassals such as the Situ family attending the meeting. Anyrge family would have many vassals under them. Even Chen Hao building a group was enough to attract quite a few vassals for the Chen family. That was the general idea of it. ¡°That¡¯s right, Situ Hong has done a lot for the Fang family in thesest two years. Even other vassals like ourselves managed to win some glory along with his deeds!¡± some people started whispering among themselves. Grandfather Fang heavily pounded the floor with his walking stick before everyone quietened down again. ¡°Situ Hong, I feel like you have something more to say, so just spit it out.¡± Grandfather Fang took a deep breath. Situ Hong smiled faintly. ¡°Grandfather Fang, I don¡¯t have any other intentions. It¡¯s just that the Eldest Young Master has passed for many years now, and previously, we brought up his businesses, right? That we would all get a share of them and they would be taken over by us. But then, you mentioned that we had to wait for Fang Jiannan to grow up first. Now that she¡¯s grown up, shouldn¡¯t you keep to the promise you made that year? After all, Fang Zhenghua doesn¡¯t have any more heirs!¡± ¡°Hmph! I already knew that you would have something up your sleeves. Even though he has passed for many years, we still haven¡¯t gotten revenge on his behalf. Yet, you still want a share of his businesses?¡± Fang Zhengye said in anger. ¡°Hehe, haven¡¯t gotten revenge? Isn¡¯t it more like you don¡¯t dare to avenge him? Anyway, the businesses have been given to the two of you brothers, but neither of you have done anything sessful with them. Instead, you all made the Fang family be even worse! Maybe if you split them amongst us, you would get a chance to revive it!¡± ¡°Situ Hong is right!¡± Quite a few people agreed. Just when the two brothers were at a loss for what to do, the door of the meeting room was mmed open with a loud bang. Fang Jiannan walked in with reddened eyes, coldly sweeping her gaze across the crowd before stopping on Situ Hong. ¡°Uncle Situ, if you tell me who my parents¡¯ killer is, and who our Fang family¡¯s enemies are, then I will take their revenge!¡± When Grandfather Fang saw Fang Jiannan trespass into the meeting, he could tell that she had heard everything that had happened. At that moment, he sighed deeply. No one else continued talking. Even Situ Hong turned his head to one side, acting as if he didn¡¯t hear a thing. As for Grandfather Fang, he took a deep breath and stared at Fang Jiannan. ¡°Let¡¯s take a break. Jiannan,e over here with me!¡± Chapter 371 Fang Jiannan’s Aunt Chapter 371 Fang Jiannan¡¯s Aunt ¡°Did you hear everything?¡± Grandfather Fang asked when they entered the study room. Fang Jiannan nodded solemnly. Although Fang Jiannan remained unaffected despite being the youngest generation of the Fang family to get grounded, her parents¡¯ story would forever be a thorn in her heart. Being grounded meant that she could at least throw a tantrum. But as for her parents, no one had told her about them since she was young. If she asked, she had gotten a beating instead. ¡°Do you hate me? Since I hid this from you for so long?¡± Grandfather Fang asked. ¡°No, I don¡¯t. I know that Grandpa only hid it from me for my own sake!¡± Fang Jiannan said. ¡°Jiannan, I have seen every ounce of hard work you have put in these past few years. To be honest, I am very proud to have a granddaughter like you, and I¡¯m sure your parents up in heaven are very Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. proud of you as well.¡± Grandfather Fang patted Fang Jiannan on the shoulder. ¡°Then who is the Fang family rival, and were my parents killed by them?¡± Fang Jiannan asked. Grandfather Fang took a deep breath and looked toward a corner before nodding. ¡°I know that I can¡¯t keep these secrets from you any longer. Now that you are skilled in many aspects and have grown stronger, I can finally let you in on some things.¡± After a pause, Grandfather Fang continued, ¡°Yes, all this while, the Fang family has had a major rival, and that rival is the Chen family.¡± ¡°The Chen family? Why have I not heard of this family before?¡± Fang Jiannan said, stunned. ¡°Well, their family doesn¡¯t need to be hidden away like ours. But to be on a level such as the Chen family¡¯s is a feat not easily achieved. Besides, I grounded you for over twenty years. How much of this world could you have seen?¡± Grandfather Fang said. ¡°But why? Why does the Chen family treat us this way?¡± Fang Jiannan¡¯s eyes glinted with the mes of hatred. ¡°This is a long story. To sum it up, ever since my generation, including your parents¡¯ generation, our feud with them has never ended. You must always remember to be careful of anyone from the Chen family! Understood?¡± Grandfather Fang said tenderly. ¡°Understood, Grandpa!¡± ¡°Also, Jiannan. Since you already know about some things about the family, then I don¡¯t think I can keep any more from you. Besides, you¡¯ve already seen how the Fang family¡¯s system operates, and I have already decided that you are the only heir of your father¡¯s business! You are also the only female heir to inherit the business, apart from her,¡± Grandfather Fang said. Fang Jiannan was feeling extremely emotional. Moreover, she knew who the other female in question was. Just then, Grandfather Fang¡¯s expression became even darker. ¡°Back then, I was too reckless. Till now, your aunt is still in hiding and doesn¡¯t want to see me. Fang Mengxin, this silly child. How could she be so stubborn? Although I have a stubborn mouth myself, I¡¯ve always missed your aunt!¡± Grandfather Fang started weeping. ¡°Fang Jiannan, promise me something.¡± ¡°Say no more, Grandpa. I will find Aunt Meng Xin for you!¡± Fang Jiannan said. This had happened when she was very young. The old caretaker of the family had told her before. There used to be a very powerful woman in the family, and that was her aunt, Fang Mengxin. However, she disobeyed a family rule and was then chased away by Grandfather Fang. For thest few years, Grandfather Fang had been looking for her, but he couldn¡¯t find a trace of where she could be hiding. And so, it was a thorn in Grandfather Fang¡¯s heart. Now that Fang Jiannan inherited her father¡¯s business, it became obligatory for her to find her aunt. At the same time, Fang Jiannan also wanted to meet this strongly respected aunt of hers, who she had beenpared to many times. Everyone constantly pointed out how simr the two of them were, from their abilities to their looks. What kind of woman could she be? Who did she fall in love with for Grandpa to disown her so ruthlessly? Grandfather Fang finally took out a photograph and passed it to Fang Jiannan. The woman in the photograph was extremely beautiful and breathtakingly so. She was Fang Jiannan¡¯s aunt, Fang Mengxin! As for her inheriting the business by force, that would be settled personally by her grandfather. Fang Jiannan didn¡¯t have to worry about the Situ family. They might have some power as of now, but they still wouldn¡¯t dare to overstep their boundaries. After that, Fang Jiannan left Grandfather Fang¡¯s study room and kept the photograph properly as she returned to her room. ¡°Jiannan, I¡¯ve been waiting for you for awhile!¡± Under the night sky, a young man was standing in the middle of the courtyard. ¡°Situ Yang, what are you waiting for me for?¡± Fang Jiannan asked coldly. ¡°I heard that you got injured after a fight with someone today. I got worried and came to check on you. Don¡¯t worry, Fang Jiannan. I will make him pay with his own blood!¡± Situ Yang said. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! I¡¯m warning you, if you dare to hurt my ssmate, I will not let you get away with it!¡± Fang Jiannan was instantly angered. ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll let that little punk go. Jiannan, don¡¯t be angry!¡± Situ Yang said hurriedly. ¡°That¡¯s it, right? If you¡¯re finished, then I¡¯ll be going back now!¡± After that, Fang Jiannan red at Situ Yang hatefully before turning to leave. ¡°Jiannan! Hey!¡± Situ Yang called out. However, Fang Jiannan was already far away. Situ Yang clenched his fists in anger. ¡°Young Master, I¡¯ve already told you. All the good things you do for her will still be ignored!¡± Right then, an old person emerged from behind a tree, his hands sped together. Under the moonlight, this old man had a terrifying visage. His face was half stark white and the other half was ck, as if he was wearing a mask. His eyes were deep and dark, looking like they were sinking into his skull. A frightening sight indeed. Plus, his entire being looked as if he was reduced to just skin and bones, as though a slight breeze could cause him to fall apart. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Situ Yang asked. The old man smiled. ¡°Opportunities are always made by one¡¯s self. They won¡¯te flying out of nowhere for you. The reason she doesn¡¯t bother about you is because all the help you give heres way too easily! The real way to make her notice you is to make her feel like she¡¯s nothing without you. Make her feel like she has to rely on you for everything!¡± The old man¡¯s voice sounded more like an old goose squawking than a human¡¯s voice. Situ Yang nodded. ¡°Understood!¡± The corners of his mouth lifted into a devious smirk. Back to Chen Hao. The next day, Chen Hao hade to ss early. That was because today¡¯s first two sses were joint lessons. So, Chen Hao called Wang Xiaohua along and the two of them arrived at ss extremely early. Currently, there weren¡¯t many students in the ssroom. However, Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi had already arrived. When they saw Chen Hao, Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi lifted their heads up to look at him. Especially Fang Yi, whose gaze carried a hint of hatred. Chen Hao came to Fang Jiannan¡¯s side, looking apologetic. ¡°I¡¯m sorry about what happened yesterday. I seriously didn¡¯t mean to!¡± Besides, Fang Jiannan was still a girl. He had only thrown her off like that when she wasn¡¯t paying attention because he had gotten anxious. Chen Hao was feeling rather ufortable having beaten her, because he really was just opportunistic. If they really were to fight, how could he possibly beat Fang Jiannan? However, when Fang Jiannan heard this from Chen Hao, she felt as if he was mocking her. Right then, Fang Jiannan spoke coldly, ¡°I¡¯m relieved to still be able to see you today morning.¡± Chen Hao was confused. ¡°Huh?¡± Chapter 372 The Crowd’s Panic Chapter 372 The Crowd¡¯s Panic Chen Hao had actually wanted to chat with Fang Jiannan for a little longer. But after Fang Jiannan finished speaking, she seemed to treat him with disdain, turning her head to the side. Obviously, she no longer wanted to talk to him. Chen Hao didn¡¯t continue speaking and ran to sit in the row behind them instead. Fang Yi then turned around and red at Chen Hao. Indeed, she had assumed Chen Hao to be a straightforward and honest person. Who knew that he was pretty rich, and even had good fighting skills? Even when Fang Jiannan was quite strong, she got beaten by him easily. If it wasn¡¯t for Fang Jiannan telling Fang Yi to not start anything with Chen Hao, then Fang Yi would definitely have wanted Fang Jiannan and Chen Hao to have a rematch. They had been waiting for ss to start as usual, but after quite a while, there were still not many students in the ssroom. There were only a few girls from Chen Hao¡¯s neighbouring ss. On previous asions, the ssroom would be full by now. ¡°Where is everyone? Why are so many people missing?¡± Just then, the teacher arrived. Seeing how there were barely any students in the ssroom, he asked a female student about it. Fang Jiannan and Chen Hao were rather curious and lifted their heads to look as well. ¡°Well, professor, the ss monitor of ss Three seems to have gotten into trouble. A lot of people are blocking the ss doorway. I¡¯m not sure why either, but quite a number of guys from our ss are there watching themotion,¡± the female student replied. Chen Hao met eyes with Wang Xiaohua. This morning, they had straight awaye to this ssroom and hadn¡¯t stopped by their own at all. Looks like something really did happen. Furthermore, it was regarding Xu Yangyang. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°What happened?¡± Wang Xiaohua asked, obviously looking a little pleased to hear that Xu Yangyang was in trouble. ¡°I¡¯m not entirely sure, but I think she fought with someone. I don¡¯t think she started the fight, but instead, it was started by someone else because of a fight she¡¯s had before. I¡¯m assuming that¡¯s what¡¯s going on. Isn¡¯t she your ss monitor? How would you guys not know?¡± the girl asked. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s because we came straight to the joint ssroom, so of course we had no idea!¡± Wang Xiaohua smiled and sat down after that. He then made a call to ask a ssmate what was going on. After ending the call, Wang Xiaohua pped the table in delight. ¡°Haha! This is poetic justice! Finally, someone can knock some sense into Xu Yangyang and take her off her high horse!¡± The question of who treated Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao badly in their ss could be easily answered by one name, and that was Xu Yangyang. Now that she was in trouble, Wang Xiaohua was obviously delighted. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Chen Hao asked, being rather curious himself. ¡°Chen Hao, remember how Liang Fei lost the fight yesterday? He was doing really well until you stole his limelight. Xu Yangyang had already been feeling bitter because of that, and to add fuel to the fire, she came to ss today with Xu Wentao, Shen Junwen and that girl who¡¯s always following him around. And guess what? They gotughed at for being an embarrassment by some rich young masters! Then, with Xu Yangyang¡¯s horrible temper, she couldn¡¯t help but go over and p one of the rich young masters across the face. Obviously this person had to retaliate, and after that, Shen Junwen and Xu Wentao joined the fight as well. They managed to beat those young masters up pretty well, but guess who one of them was? The son of Chengdu¡¯s Meng family, Meng Chuan! He''s such a dandy and an extremely arrogant one at that. He¡¯d never been beaten up like this in his life! So that¡¯s when he called for backup to go to their ssroom and handle Xu Yangyang. Apparently he called over more than ten cars worth of people!¡± Wang Xiaohua said. Chen Hao nodded. He had been in many situations like this before. However, he never needed to step in and help personally. Indeed, this did happen in his ssroom, but it was Xu Yangyang who caused trouble. To be honest, he really wanted Meng Chuan to teach her a proper lesson as well as gaining some satisfaction from it. If he wasn¡¯t concerned about how it would negatively affect the situation, Chen Hao would have wanted to go over and watch themotion himself. Hehe! ¡°She¡¯s really done for, Chen Hao. The Meng family is apparently a vassal of a really famous family of Chengdu, the Situ family. It wouldn¡¯t be wrong to say that they¡¯re the most domineering family out there right now,¡± Wang Xiaohua informed Chen Hao of some details about Chengdu. Fang Yi and Fang Jiannan obviously heard everything, being seated right in front of them. When he mentioned the Situ family, Fang Jiannan tilted her head slightly. After a while longer, a bunch of footsteps resounded from outside the ssroom. All of their ssmates had finally arrived. Xu Yangyang was thest to enter. Lin Shengnan was supporting her. The fresh red p marks on both sides of Xu Yangyang¡¯s face were very obvious, and she was crying devastatingly. She was bawling as she said, ¡°I didn¡¯t notice it was him! I didn¡¯t hit him on purpose!¡± ¡°Alright, at least the head of our department and the tutors have gone over to hold him back so that you coulde to ss. If it weren''t for them, we would have been killed today trying to talk things over with those people!¡± Lin Shengnan said with a face full of worry. The Meng family was just too powerful. Lin Shengnan¡¯s family was rich, but they could not be Even Liang Fei¡¯s family was not up to par. Just now, everyone watched as Meng Chuan pped Xu Yangyang twice, yet no one dared to stop him. If it weren¡¯t for the department head and tutors finding an excuse to talk things over with Meng Chuan, giving Xu Yangyang the chance to run to her lesson, then she really would have been done for. It was also to give Xu Yangyang the chance to quickly call for help. As for their teacher, he knew he wasn¡¯t going to be able to proceed with this lesson for now, since Young Master Meng was not someone a regr teacher dared to deal with. After answering a call, he didn¡¯t return. ¡°What do I do? I just got off the phone with my mother. She was crying when she told me that my dad had been dragged away from work by people from the Meng family, and they have even beaten my dad a couple of times. What should I do?!¡± Xu Yangyang finally experienced what true fear felt like. Even her dad got beaten up because of what she did, and even got chased away. She was really helpless now. Both Lin Shengnan and Liang Fei were silent. They had all gotten calls from their parents, warning them not to interfere. Besides, everything had started because Xu Yangyang had made the first move. Apart from that, getting beaten up in school with a whole crowd of onlookers was a giant p to the face. After that, the rich young masters along with Meng Chuan got another beating from Shen Junwen and Xu Wentao. Meng Chuan did start the fire, but overall, Xu Yangyang was also in the wrong. Liang Fei didn¡¯t dare to interfere, so he sat by a corner and lowered his head. ¡°Douchebag! You¡¯re f*cking disgusting!¡± a few girls said with disdain as they looked at Liang Fei. Xu Yangyang couldn¡¯t bother about Liang Fei, since she had been scared half to death herself. Right then, some students stood in the doorway. Chen Hao lifted his head to see Shen Junwen, Hu Huimin, and Xu Wentao. Their faces all looked upset, obviously having gotten into trouble as well. They walked in right away. ¡°Xu Wentao, Shen Junwen, what should I do? My house is about to get destroyed!" Xu Yangyang asked quickly. Xu Wentao lowered his head with his hands on his waist. As for Hu Huimin and Shen Junwen, they were at a loss as well. At that time, Shen Junwen had acted without thinking, but something like this would probably require him to pay for it ten times over. Besides, he and Hu Huimin... Chapter 373 The Angered Situ Yang Chapter 373 The Angered Situ Yang Just as the crowd was at a loss for what to do. ¡°Jiannan, why did you call me out here?¡± Fang Yi asked. Then, she suddenly realized with surprise. ¡°Ah, I get it. Could you be thinking of¡­ That?¡± Fang Yi shook her head helplessly as she continued, ¡°Honestly, I don¡¯t particrly like Xu Yangyang. Look at how she treats our ssmates! Shen Junwen, too, he¡¯s an idiot. Just let them be, they¡¯re the ones who brought trouble onto themselves anyway. Why would you want to help them?¡± ¡°I understand what you¡¯re trying to say. But we don¡¯t hold any personal grudges against them, and we¡¯re also ssmates, after all. They¡¯ve never offended me, and yesterday during the fight, quite a few girls were cheering me on, including Xu Yangyang. I don¡¯t think I can just leave them like that. Besides, I¡¯ve heard of Meng Chuan before. He¡¯s one of Situ Yang¡¯s underlings! Who¡¯s to say that Situ Yang doesn¡¯t have a hand in this?¡± Fang Jiannan said. ¡°Damn, Jiannan. You¡¯re so sensitive to details, you should write a book! Isn¡¯t this just a normal quarrel?¡± Fang Yi said. Fang Jiannan shook her head. ¡°I really don¡¯t think things are that simple. It might just be my instincts, then again, I might also be overthinking. But since we¡¯re all ssmates, we should just help anyway!¡± After that, Fang Jiannan reluctantly took out her phone and called Situ Yang. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Jiannan? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?¡± Situ Yang asked. ¡°No reason. I might need your help with something. Meng Chuan is an underling of yours, right? He got involved in a fight with my ssmate, so I would like you to warn him to back off!¡± Fang Jiannan said. ¡°Ah? So that¡¯s what¡¯s going on. You¡¯re at school now, right? I just happened to be at apany near your school. I¡¯ll go over and settle it with you!¡± Situ Yang said quickly. Fang Jiannan didn¡¯t want him toe here, but since she was asking him for a favor, it wasn¡¯t like she could refuse. After all, there were some things that the Fang family wouldn¡¯t show up for. Plus, Fang Jiannan inheriting her father¡¯s business did not mean that the Fang family would return to the public eye. At least, not yet. Fang Jiannan only hummed in response before hanging up. Soon after, Situ Yang arrived at her school. He was even carrying a bunch of fresh flowers. ¡°Jiannan, if I¡¯m remembered correctly, this is the first time that you took the initiative to call me!¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense. Have you done what I asked you to help me with?¡± Fang Jiannan said with her arms folded. Situ Yang¡¯s face stiffened for a second before rxing into a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve made the call. But Meng Chuan¡¯s a disobedient kid. This time, he got humiliated by how fiercely he was beaten, and he¡¯s out for revenge. He isn¡¯t even listening to me anymore, so what can I do? I can¡¯t just beat sense into Meng Chuan, who¡¯s been following me around since young, right? Besides, didn¡¯t your ssmate start the fight? Even if I butt in, it would be unreasonable!¡± Situ Yang said. ¡°You!¡± Fang Jiannan was taken aback. ¡°Fine, I don¡¯t need your help. I¡¯ll ask people from other vassals then!¡± Fang Jiannan didn¡¯t imagine that Situ Yang wouldn¡¯t even help out with this much. Upset, she called some people of other vassals of the family and asked them toe over to help settle the situation, almost as an act of defiance. In the end, they all refused due to various reasons. Situ Yang was snickering to himself in a corner. Fang Jiannan finally understood what was going on. It was just as she thought. This matter was much moreplicated than it seemed. The vassals that she called obviously only listened to the Situ family now. ¡°Jiannan, can you please stop being so stubborn? If you just tell me nicely, then I won¡¯t even bother about those other vassals, let alone Meng Chuan. I can do anything for you, anything! Do you understand?¡± Situ Yang eximed. At the same time, Situ Yang tugged at Fang Jiannan¡¯s hand while she wasn¡¯t paying attention. ¡°F*ck off!¡± Fang Jiannan finally reacted and tossed away Situ Yang¡¯s grip on her wrist. However, as she exerted too much strength, the flowers Situ Yang were holding had fallen onto the ground. Situ Yang¡¯s face froze when he looked at the roses scattered all over the floor. Quite a few girls walked past the school courtyard, and they all slowed down to watch what was happening. ¡°Damn, is this a failed confession?¡± ¡°Hahaha! This guy dresses so well, yet he got immediately rejected by Fang Jiannan, huh?¡± ¡°Exactly! She can¡¯t be chased after by just any guy. ¡± The girls covered their mouths as they made fun of him among each other. When girls looked at guys, they rarely focused on their appearances. Instead, they would take note of the guys¡¯ style. If they dressed well and had an expensive taste, then he would still have some form of charisma even if he wasn¡¯t attractive. If they were shabbily dressed, then no matter how good-looking he was, that guy would still be a loser in their eyes. But now that he failed to confess, no matter how well he dressed, he would still be looked down upon by those girls. Hence, theyughed quietly among themselves. This degradingughter reached Situ Yang¡¯s ears. He became enraged. If it wasn¡¯t for you, Fang Jiannan, then I wouldn''t have to experience an embarrassment like this! ¡°Fang Jiannan, what do you mean by this?! Are you blind to the love I have for you? Are you just going to ignore everything I do for you with no reciprocation?!¡± the frustration that Situ Yang had been holding in finally erupted and he yelled at Fang Jiannan. ¡°You¡¯re delusional!¡± Fang Jiannan red at Situ Yang hatefully and turned to leave, not wanting to give him even a second more of her time.N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Fang Jiannan knew what kind of person Situ Yang was, and toward the father and son duo, she only felt hatred. ¡°I¡¯ve loved you for so long, yet you¡¯re not even letting me finish talking to you! Stay there!¡± Situ Yang was furious at the immense humiliation he had just felt. Fang Jiannan had never humiliated him like this before. Now, she was even ignoring him in front of all of these people. He ran over and held onto Fang Jiannan¡¯s hand, gripping it hard. ¡°I¡¯ll make you listen to me!¡± ¡°Let go! Are you insane?!¡± p! Fang Jiannan was anxious to leave, and in her hastiness, she instinctively pped Situ Yang in the face. When the girls crowding around them saw this, they watched with open mouths, taken aback. Situ Yang was shell-shocked. ¡°Fang Yi, let¡¯s go!¡± Fang Jiannan pulled Fang Yi by the hand and left the scene. ¡°Fang Jiannan, how can you be so ruthless? I, Situ Yang, have plenty of girls going after me! And yet, I have never treated any of them the way I treat you! For you, I¡¯m willing to let go of everything, even my own dignity! But you don¡¯t even pay attention to me!¡± Situ Yang clenched his fists tightly as he watched Fang Jiannan leave, his eyes reddening. ¡°Jiannan, it¡¯s not good to hit him over a small issue like this, right?¡± Fang Yi was also rather concerned about the Situ family and reminded Fang Jiannan. ¡°Hmph! A small issue? Do you really think this is a small issue? Situ Yang has always been pestering me, but do you know why I hate him so much? He always treats everyone else like they¡¯re idiots. Obviously, this situation was a plot by Situ Yang. Not only did he want me to rely on him and show gratitude toward him, he also wanted me to witness the power of the Situ family! The other vassals are all in the palm of the Situ family now. I won¡¯t temper justice with mercy, but if I hate someone, then I hate them for a reason. I will not go back on my conscience!¡± Fang Jiannan said. ¡°Damn, I finally understand now! No wonder he wasughing so cockily at the side when you were making those calls. What a cunning jerk! So, what do we do now, Jiannan?¡± Fang Yi asked. But right after that, her eyes widened. ¡°Jiannan, look! Isn¡¯t that Meng Chuan? He just brought a bunch of people into the building!¡± Chapter 374 A Helping Hand Chapter 374 A Helping Hand Fang Jiannan was helpless now when it came to this. She wanted to help, but she couldn¡¯t just use her identity as someone from the Fang family to help them out. Back to Chen Hao. Currently, a bunch of people were entering the joint ssroom, and Xu Yangyang was extremely terrified. To be honest, even Shen Junwen felt a little scared. Obviously, this had all been blown out of proportion. ¡°What do we do now? The head of department can¡¯t hold them back for long!¡± Xu Yangyang cried. Shen Junwen finally looked at Hu Huimin. ¡°Huimin, didn¡¯t Yang Yufei give you her contact information before? If this reallyes down to it, then you should contact her. She did say that we could go to her if we had any problems we needed help with!¡± Hu Huimin replied, ¡°What if she was only being polite then? She¡¯s so high up on thedder, so why would she even bother about us?¡± In fact, Hu Huimin had considered asking Yang Yufei. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Ahem, let¡¯s not bother about those. Right now, Yang Yufei is the only saviour we have!¡± Shen Junwen said. Xu Wentao and Xu Yangyang also ced their hopes on Hu Huimin¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll give it a try!¡± Hu Huimin nodded. She quickly dialed the number Yang Yufei had given her. Hu Huimin didn¡¯t expect Yang Yufei to pick up so quickly. Without having any time to beat around the bush, she quickly told Yang Yufei everything that was going on. ¡°Yang Yufei, thank you so much! To have you helping me out is truly the best!¡± Clearly, Yang Yufei had agreed to Hu Huimin¡¯s request, thus Hu Huimin thanked her excitedly. But just as quick, Yang Yufei called her back. ¡°Huimin, this situation is really different fromst time. I¡¯ve asked around for help and Young Master Huang will make an appearance. However, to solve the overall problem, you need to go see President Zhu of Chengdu. He has to understand the whole story before deciding whether he will step in or not! Sigh. I can only help this much,¡± Yang Yufei said with a sigh. When Yang Yufei called Young Master Huang, he had agreed and also asked President Zhu about it. Young Master Huang was Young Master Chen¡¯s godbrother, so President Zhu didn¡¯t dare to be too careless while handling the situation. That¡¯s why they had to go find President Zhu personally, and at least let him know the gist of what¡¯s going on. After hanging up, Hu Huimin and the others quickly rushed to meet him. ¡°They¡¯re so lucky to have someone who is willing to help them!¡± Wang Xiaohua said in an upset tone. Chen Hao shook his head with a bitter smile. To be fair, wasn¡¯t he the one helping them then? Chen Hao honestly wanted to publicize his identity. If he did that, then at least things wouldn¡¯t be so troublesome for him. But just like his father had warned him, once he revealed his identity to the world, the amount of trouble he would get from that would not be smaller than the issues he had now. So, he couldn¡¯t do anything except to let things be. Meng Chuan couldn¡¯t find the others anymore, and he wasn¡¯t so unreasonable as to drag in other ssmates into this. Therefore, they finally started ss like they were supposed to. After the four periods of ss in the morning, everything was back to normal by afternoon. Chen Hao then prepared to go home. Right at that moment, Chen Hao received a call from Zhu Ming. ¡°Young Master Chen, after our restless search over thest few days and nights, we¡¯ve finally found some information on Fang Mengxin!¡± Zhu Ming said excitedly the moment Chen Hao picked up. ¡°Ah? That¡¯s great! Then, I¡¯ll go over to you right now!¡± Chen Hao said excitedly. It sounded as if Zhu Ming was pretty busy on the other side of the phone. Chen Hao didn¡¯t waste time and hung up the call. Right away, he drove to the mansion that Zhu Ming was at. When Chen Hao arrived, there were plenty of cars outside Zhu Ming¡¯s mansion. After all. Zhu Ming had connections all over the ce, so Chen Hao was not surprised that there were many people who came to find him. He parked his car to another side. After walking over only did he see how busy Zhu Ming was. The people waiting for him made a line all the way outside the entrance. It was pretty simr to Li Zhenguo¡¯s situation. There were a bunch of people standing in front of the door, and he probably had to face every single one of them. Chen Hao smiled bitterly before walking in that direction. ¡°Huimin, how long do we have to wait for? There are so many people here! My dad still isn¡¯t back home, I¡¯m worried to death!¡± At one side, Xu Yangyang and the others were still waiting. They were anxiously waiting for their turn. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. Yang Yufei already said that President Zhu will meet us to settle this issue, and that means he definitely will meet us!¡± Hu Huimin said. ¡°Sigh, seriously, who knows what President Zhu is doing in there? We¡¯ve been waiting for almost two hours!¡± someone elseined. Just then, Hu Huimin¡¯s gaze zeroed in on a youth who had just walked in from the outside. In fact, plenty of people looked over when the youth walked in. Most of the people who came here were looking for President Zhu to discuss proper business and make deals. Hence, they were all afraid of meeting business rivals here. Once they saw that it was a young man, quite a few of them looked at him with contempt. Someone like this wanted to talk to President Zhu? Hehe. This youth was none other than Chen Hao. Obviously, Chen Hao immediately saw Hu Huimin and Xu Yangyang as well. He just didn¡¯t know that they would still be here waiting after so long. Chen Hao didn¡¯t bother hiding anything at this point. He walked over to them. ¡°Still waiting?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Hmph, what are you doing here?¡± Once Hu Huimin saw Chen Hao, she immediately recalled how Chen Hao had embarrassed her a few times. She instantly felt ufortable. As for Xu Yangyang, she just looked at Chen Hao with a face full of rage. If it wasn¡¯t for him stealing Liang Fei¡¯s limelight that day, causing Liang Fei to feel sad, he wouldn¡¯t have been extremely moody for the next few days and kicked Xu Yangyang yesterday. Moreover, she wouldn¡¯t have been so angry that she didn¡¯t eat dinner. And, she certainly wouldn¡¯t have ended up losing control of her emotions and starting a fight this morning. To put it simply, the root to all her problems was Chen Hao. At least, that was what Xu Yangyang thought. ¡°Why else would he be here? Clearly, he just wants tough at our misery! I never knew you were this kind of person, Chen Hao. How disgusting! F*ck, you piss me off!¡± Xu Yangyang cursed fiercely. Hu Huimin also had a hateful expression as she agreed with Xu Yangyang¡¯s opinion. ¡°Chen Hao, I know you¡¯re rich now and everything, but don¡¯t you dare get on your high horse and stay here to watch our misery for your own pleasure. I¡¯m telling you, I will not let someone like you get a free show!¡± Hu Huimin said urgently. Hehe. Chen Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly. Before, Chen Hao had already felt like he¡¯d seen enough of the drama unfolded earlier. Apart from that, they somehow managed to climb up thedder to reach Huang Yonghao and President Zhu. Seeing as they used to be ssmates, Chen Hao didn¡¯t really mind helping Hu Huimin out of sentiment. But right now, Hu Huimin didn¡¯t seem to care that they used to be old ssmates. She scorned and mocked him no matter what he did. So Chen Hao just smiled helplessly. ¡°You¡¯re both wrong. I¡¯m not in the mood nor do I have the energy to pay attention to you guys, and it¡¯s not like I had nothing better to do ande all the way here just to Chen Hao nced at Hu Huimin. He then stuck a hand into his pocket before walking directly to the main entrance of President Zhu¡¯s mansion. Chapter 375 Finding Chen Hao for Help Chapter 375 Finding Chen Hao for Help ¡°Who is this guy? He¡¯s so rude, how could he just ignore the rules?¡± ¡°Exactly! Does he think he can just enter President Zhu¡¯s door whenever he wants to? Did he not see Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. all of us waiting for our names to be called?¡± Right away, a bunch of people started to whisper among themselves. Hu Huimin and Xu Yangyang were just waiting for him to embarrass himself. Zhu Ming had zeropetitors in Chengdu, and the power he had was way too overwhelming. He was also very adamant to follow traditions, and if anyone overstepped their boundaries, then they could only wait and see what would happen. Right after Chen Hao knocked, the door was opened by a butler. ¡°Punk, just wait and see!¡± ¡°You think you can show up for just anything? Haha!¡± ¡°He¡¯s so young yet he¡¯s already setting himself up for embarrassment. He definitely isn¡¯t aplished!¡± The crowdughed. ¡°Y-Young Master Chen, it¡¯s you!¡± the butler greeted Chen Hao, slightly taken aback. Immediately, the butler bowed slightly. ¡°Yeah, I noticed that you all looked rather busy, so I just waited outside here for a little while.¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Ah, yes, of course! Young Master Chen, pleasee in!¡± The butler quickly ushered Chen Hao in. If Chen Hao wasn¡¯t counted as a VIP, then there would be no one else who fit that title. ¡°What?¡± This scene gave everyone outside a shock. ¡°Which Young Master is he? Young Master Chen? I¡¯ve never heard of him, but I have also never seen Butler Mo act like this before!¡± ¡°Yes, who exactly is he?¡± The crowd was greatly astonished. Even Hu Huimin¡¯s jaw had dropped in disbelief, her heart started beating faster by the second. She felt a sense of dread from being faced with exactly what she was always afraid of. It was because Hu Huimin had never respected Chen Hao, since high school until this exact moment. Although Chen Hao had worked extremely hard in high school, Hu Huimin knew that he still couldn¡¯t build a good future for himself. Everyone knew that Hu Huimin was extremely straightforward, and sometimes she was so blunt that it would hurt someone¡¯s feelings. To sum it up, it was because Hu Huimin had always felt a sense of superiority in most of her circle of friends. Justpare how reserved she was in front of Shen Junwen and Wang Jian. It was obvious she only looked down upon Chen Hao. But right now, she was being faced with the fact that this person she had always looked down upon was rich, and was different now as he was richer than she was. Right at that moment, Hu Huimin felt extremely upset. She tried to find different excuses to cate herself. Chen Hao could have just won the lottery, and that¡¯s why he¡¯s rich. This money wouldn¡¯tst for a long time anyway. Besides, no matter how rich he was, he had no connections. Hehe, in today¡¯s society, connections were of the utmost importance. That was why Hu Huimin¡¯s mentality managed to stay bnced thest two days. But now, she was the one waiting for President Zhu to help settle her problems. As for Chen Hao, he could walk in and out of President Zhu¡¯s house as and when he wanted. It was obvious that Chen Hao and President Zhu had a ratherplicated rtionship. ¡°Who knew that Chen Hao actually knows President Zhu!¡± Xu Yangyang was anxious beyond words. But no matter how anxious she was, there was no other way. No one could help her except for President Zhu now, and he might not even agree in the end. ¡°Huimin, why don¡¯t you give Chen Hao a call? If he agrees to help us out, then we¡¯re basically saved!¡± Shen Junwen was the one who said this. ¡°Me?¡± Hu Huimin felt as if she had just been punched in the face. ¡°Yes, Hu Huimin, you! That guy used to have a crush on you, besides, you guys used to be ssmates. Your words will be the most useful! Otherwise, even if we wait until evening, we still might not be able to meet President Zhu! Then this problem will get even worse!¡± Shen Junwen said anxiously. ¡°Yeah, Huimin. Please beg Chen Hao for help, I¡¯m sure he¡¯ll agree!¡± Xu Yangyang also agreed. Hu Huimin thought it over for quite a while. Finally, she said, ¡°I¡¯m not close to him, actually. Even if I ask him for help, he might not say yes. Still, I¡¯ll try!¡± She took out her phone hesitantly and dialed Chen Hao¡¯s number. Of course she was reluctant. Who would want to plead someone they had looked down upon, and apart from that, had been hurt by your blunt words? No one would have the guts. Unfortunately, they really needed Chen Hao¡¯s help. Chen Hao had never expected that an arrogant peacock like Hu Huimin would give him a call. Heughed bitterly. ¡°What is it?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Chen Hao, do¡­ Do you know President Zhu well?¡± Hu Huimin asked in a small voice. ¡°Yes. So out with it already!¡± Chen Hao said bluntly. ¡°If you do, then well, you know that we have some problems on hand. I hope you can give us a hand and help us bring it up to President Zhu!¡± Hu Huimin said as her face started to heat up. ¡°I don¡¯t mind bringing it up to him, but what¡¯s in it for me? Why should I help you all?¡± Chen Hao ¡°Do it for me!¡± ¡°Alright then, youe in with Xu Yangyang. Just the two of you!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Alright!¡± Then, Chen Hao hung up the phone. Obviously, Xu Yangyang and the others had heard everything. ¡°Huh? Huimin, Chen Hao called the two of us to go in alone? Why? You know how I¡¯ve fought with him before, let alone how many times I¡¯ve argued with him. I¡¯m really worried, what if¡­¡± Xu Yangyang seemed to imagine some possible scenarios and turned her bright red face to the side. ¡°If he dares¡­ I don¡¯t think he would actually do anything! I know him well. Later, once we go in, I¡¯ll talk to him. You just follow behind me!¡± Hu Huimin thought inwardly, Chen Hao, you may be capable now, but I don¡¯t believe you can actually do anything! After that, they walked in under the guidance of one of President Zhu¡¯s servants. President Zhu¡¯s mansion was unbelievably huge. There were more than ten servants just downstairs alone. The servant led the two of them to the second floor. They reached arge meeting hall. ¡°Young Master Chen is inside!¡± the servant said respectfully. ¡°Alright, thank you!¡± Hu Huimin said, feeling slightly nervous. She opened the door and saw the sheer number of people in the meeting hall. They were mostly middle-aged people and their secretaries. There were at least thirty to forty people in there. All of these middle-aged people were famous in Chengdu¡¯s business world. Hu Huimin even recognized a couple of them from the newspaper. To Xu Yangyang, these people all looked like gangsters. The atmosphere tensed up in a second. What made Hu Huimin and Xu Yangyang even more nervous was how Chen Hao was seated at the head of the meeting table. As for President Zhu Ming, he sat right beside Chen Hao. ¡°You all may leave first. I need to talk to them alone. President Zhu, you cane over here after finishing what you need to do!¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°Yes, Young Master Chen!¡± the whole room stood up and said in unison. This scene gave Hu Huimin and Xu Yangyang quite a fright. The two of them only came to their senses after the crowd had left. Chen Hao looked at them with a smile. ¡°Sit down, you two! Why are you still standing up?¡± ¡°Chen Hao, w-why did they call you Young Master Chen?¡± Hu Huimin asked, gulping in disbelief. Chapter 376 A Huge Realization Chapter 376 A Huge Realization ¡°That¡¯s a long story! Even if I summarized it, I couldn¡¯t possibly exin it clearly.¡± Chen Hao smiled. Just then, a few servants entered respectfully and served tea to both Hu Huimin and Xu Yangyang. ¡°Chen Hao, I don¡¯t know what rtionship you have with President Zhu, but I¡¯m sure you know what happened to us. If you have the ability to help us, then I hope you put it to use!¡± Hu Huimin said. Xu Yangyang nodded fervently. ¡°Chen Hao, I¡¯m sorry! From now on, you can treat me however you want, as long as you help us out just this once!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bring it up to President Zhu. But after everything is settled, I don¡¯t want my help to have been for nothing!¡± Chen Hao smiled as he looked at them. Right at the beginning, despite how coldly Hu Huimin treated him, he would still help if he could whenever they got into trouble. But right now, Chen Hao wasn¡¯t feeling very generous toward them. Especially toward Xu Yangyang. Except, they hade to find Zhu Ming, which was equivalent to finding Chen Hao himself. Obviously, Chen Hao would not reject them outright. It was just that he wanted to be reciprocated for the help he gave! ¡°What do you want?¡± Chen Hao snapped his fingers. After a while, Xu Yangyang and Hu Huimin left. As they were leaving, they didn¡¯t utter a single word to Shen Junwen and Xu Wentao. They walked away after throwing a nce at them. Shen Junwen and Xu Wentao were very confused, but they still followed them and walked out. After all of that was settled, Zhu Ming came in to look for Chen Hao. Xu Yangyang¡¯s issue was actually pretty easy to deal with. Even if there was the Situ family behind the Meng family, taking things into consideration, they still had to respect Zhu Ming. Besides, Chen Hao hade here for an even more important problem. ¡°Young Master Chen, we made a big discovery! We have found Fang Mengxin¡¯s personal butler! After spending a long time investigating further, we found out that Fang Mengxin had left the Fang family twenty plus years ago. Apparently, a big argument was what caused it. She had left then with her personal butler. Apart from that, she also brought along a one-month-old baby!¡± Zhu Ming said. Just then, Chen Hao immediately sat up straighter. This was indeed a very big discovery. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. A one-month-old baby? Could it be Su Ziyue? Chen Hao prompted Zhu Ming to exin further. It turned out that when Chen Hao was still in Jin Ling and had asked Li Zhenguo to help investigate this case, thetter had already asked Zhu Ming to help with the investigation. Zhu Ming, of course, took this very seriously. He used almost a 100 million worth of resources to start arge-scale investigation to locate this person named Fang Mengxin. In the end, he had only found out some information about the Fang family. As for the location of Fang Mengxin¡¯s personal butler, they had gotten the information yesterday from an old man who contacted them himself. This old man used to own a guesthouse. He still remembered it as clear as day. That night twenty-two years ago, thunder and lightning shed across the sky as rain poured from above. Two women and a baby arrived at the scene. Their expressions looked rather anxious and rushed. The woman holding onto the baby was entirely drenched while the baby''s clothes were still dry. On top of that, this woman was extremely beautiful. Even after all these years, the old man still clucked his tongue when he remembered it, saying that he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. There was another woman next to her who looked to be about thirty years old. This woman kept referring to the other as ¡®Miss¡¯. They were walking pretty quickly, and came in saying they wanted a room and just one would be enough. What was strange was that they said they didn¡¯t have money at the moment, but someone would deliver money to the guest house owner by tomorrow afternoon, in order for him not to worry. But the man was a store owner and was in his forties then. Needless to say, he was an experienced member of society. So how could he agree to that? Seeing that he wasn¡¯t budging, the beautiful woman who was carrying a baby then took out a jade pendant and gave it to the man. The good thing was that this man could be considered a lover of antiques. With one look, he could immediately tell that the pendant was expensive. There were two words carved distinctively onto it¡ªMengxin. Right away, he felt that these two girls were not from an average household. He didn¡¯t dare to offend anybody, so he agreed. Zhu Ming said that the old man recounted this part extremely clearly, because that night after getting the pendant, he contacted some friends to look at it and even wanted to keep it for his own. But his friends reminded him that the owner of a beautiful jade pendant such as this would not be good to displease, and he should avoid it if he could. Only then did the old man decide against it. Just like that, he waited until two o¡¯ clock in the afternoon the next day. Surprisingly, a young man actually arrived. He had sent Fang Mengxin a lot of money. That was when Fang Mengxin took her jade pendant back and the two of them left. The old man didn¡¯t expect that the girl would return just seven dayster. However, the beautifuldy holding the baby did not return. Instead, it was the woman next to her. When he saw her again, the old man got a shock. Seven days ago, this woman¡¯s visage was lively. However, she was now reduced to just skin and bones with her face now pale, as if she were a ghost. She told him she wanted to book a night here. She also asked the guest house owner about a ce called Hong County. The old man knew where it was, since his daughter-inw lived in Hong County. So, he nodded. The woman gave the old man a lot of money, and in the early morning of the next day, the old man personally escorted the woman to Hong County. He had asked her some questions along the way, and she said she was here to find a rtive. The old man then sent her to that rtive¡¯s house. Because of this, the woman gave him a 100,000 to show her gratitude. 100,000 was in no way a small amount back then. That was why the old man¡¯s memory remained fresh all these years. He managed to remember every detail from that incident. And after Zhu Ming showed him the jade pendant, the old man was extremely sure that it was the same jade pendant the beautiful woman had given him that year. He had hugged it to sleep for a night, so how could he forget? ¡°Young Master Chen, he already told me the address of the rtive that he had sent the butler to that year. I sent people over there to investigate yesterday night, but I found out that the family there had already moved and the house had been demolished long ago. Don¡¯t worry, I promise that I will find that family¡¯s whereabouts within twenty-four hours!¡± Zhu Ming said. Chen Hao nodded. ¡°President Zhu, thank you so much for your help!¡± To be honest, Chen Hao believed firmly in Zhu Ming¡¯s abilities. Chen Hao could feel that they were getting closer to finding Fang Mengxin, and along with that, they were finally about to locate Su Ziyue¡¯s biological mother. Until then, he would finally understand¡ªwhat rtionship did Fang Mengxin have with his father? ¡°Another thing, Young Master Chen. I don¡¯t know why you¡¯re looking for Fang Mengxin, neither do I know what she has on her, but there is something I must let you know!¡± Zhu Ming suddenly reported in a serious manner. ¡°What is it?¡± Chapter 377 Meeting Wang Wen Once More Chapter 377 Meeting Wang Wen Once More ¡°The old man said that before we went to find him, there was another group of people who came looking for him as well. That group of people also asked him about what happened twenty-two years ago, and also about the personal butler!¡± Zhu Ming said. Chen Hao was at a loss. Who could it be? He had thought that his father only wanted him to locate someone. in and simple. Who knew that this was bing moreplicated by the second? But Chen Hao didn¡¯t think too much about it, since thinking was of no use right now. What they had to do now was to quickly find that butler. Immediately, Chen Hao arranged for him to head to Hong County today. He also ced a call for Tian Long and Di Hu to quicklye over with backup. At that moment, a message from the tutor popped up in the ss group chat. Chen Hao took a look. At the same time, inside a luxury car. ¡°Miss Fang, we couldn¡¯t find Miss Fang Mengxin¡¯s whereabouts, but we did get an important piece of information regarding her personal butler, Xia, from back then! That year, Miss Fang Mengxin and Xia went to book a room at this guest house¡­¡± Fang Jiannan paid attention to the information she was being reported with. Right then, she nodded. ¡°Have you sent people over?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already added more people to the investigation. Apart from that, Miss Fang, I have something I need to report to you. It seems like we aren¡¯t the only ones looking for Miss Fang Mengxin. The old man who gave us the information told us that there was another group of people who were looking for her too, and they were extremely generous with their fees!¡± ¡°Who were they?¡± Hearing this, Fang Jiannan frowned slightly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Fang, we haven¡¯t found that out yet. But in my opinion, we should operate more cautiously from now on.¡± Fang Jiannan nodded. ¡°Alright, then proceed quickly. Right, this time, bring my twelve teachers. Aunt Mengxin was swift and ruthless in her deeds back then, and she has offended quite a lot of people. If she must be found, it should be our Fang family who finds her!¡± ¡°Understood!¡± After Fang Jiannan had arranged everything, a message was delivered to her ss group chat from the tutor. Fang Jiannan didn¡¯t usually mix around with her ssmates, but she was still in the ss group chat. She then looked at the message. The tutor said that their department had arranged an outing tomorrow morning which was coincidentally going to be held in Hong County. There were quite a few people joining too. The leader of the outing would be Fatty Wang from the ss next to hers. ¡°Fatty is really getting his act together!¡± Fang Jiannanughed bitterly after seeing the message. After that, she got out of the car and returned to school. As for Chen Hao, he did not go back to school. Instead, he informed the school¡¯s administration before hurriedly heading off to Chengdu¡¯s Hong County. Hong County was not far away from Chengdu¡¯s capital. As of now, there were many projects in development. As for having some extra hands on deck, Zhu Ming had already sent out a few of his underlings to help with the search. Chen Hao had brought a few of his own people in his haste and rushed over. Su Ziyue and Zhu Ming only arrived after Tian Long and Di Hu brought their men over. Chen Hao had no energy to join the school¡¯s outing. Once he reached Hong County and found a hotel to settle down in, Chen Hao sent some of his underlings to contact the relevant people. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Chen Hao had just gotten his wallet and was preparing to return to his room from the underground carpark. Suddenly, a female voice called out to him. When he turned around, Chen Hao felt pleasantly surprised. It was Wang Wen who had called him. Liang Meng was next to Wang Wen along with two other girls. ¡°Damn, it really is Chen Hao! What a coincidence!¡± a different girl said after Chen Hao turned around. Obviously, it was a shock to her to see Chen Hao here. Chen Hao actually didn¡¯t recognize this girl until she opened her mouth. ¡°Hey, Chen Hao! Do you still remember me?¡± the girl asked. Her tone held a hint of superiority. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Of course, you¡¯re Hou Xiaoxia!¡± Chen Hao smiled. Hou Xiaoxia was also a member of thepetitive team back in high school. If he remembered correctly, she was probably Wang Wen¡¯s ssmate, which meant her exam results had to be good. Her personality was pretty special and she stood out quite a lot back then. She was actually pretty simr to Hu Huimin. Then again, they were still different. Hou Xiaoxia was close to many guys. Of course, those guys were either ruffians who were bad at studying but at the same time, they either had good societal connections, were extremely rich or had some form of power. They were basically boys who were pretty high up in society, yed hard but managed to get really good grades. They were pretty emotional too. Speaking of which, Chen Hao had an unspeakable little argument with her at one point. Hehe! Now, Hou Xiaoxia was probably part of Wang Wen¡¯s circle of friends, all of them having gotten into Chengdu University. When Chen Hao had seen Wang Wen a few days ago, she had mentioned it to him. ¡°Hehe!¡± Hou Xiaoxia looked at Chen Hao up and down. She said a little contemptuously, ¡°I heard from Wang Wen that you came to Chengdu, but you still haven¡¯t left yet? Also, you¡¯re even staying in such a good hotel?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m leaving in a few days.¡± Chen Hao could tell that Hou Xiaoxia was still a little prickly with her words. Was it possible that she was still caught up in that little scuffle they had back then? Probably not, right? But Chen Hao didn¡¯t push it and left it at that. Instead, he turned to Wang Wen and asked, ¡°Wang Wen, what are you all up to?¡± ¡°We¡¯re here to take part in a big party! Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s boyfriend has tickets, so we all came along to have some fun!¡± Wang Wen was still rather friendly toward Chen Hao and smiled as she spoke. ¡°Huh, Hou Xiaoxia has a boyfriend now?¡± Chen Hao asked. Hou Xiaoxia looked at Chen Hao and rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Hehe, do you know who she¡¯s dating? A listedpany¡¯s CEO¡¯s son!¡± Liang Meng said. ¡°Wow!¡± Chen Hao yed along with Liang Meng¡¯s tone and nodded with a surprised look on his face. ¡°Is this the Chen Hao from high school that you guys have been talking about?¡± Right then, a girl beside them asked. She was probably a ssmate of Wang Wen and Hou Xiaoxia. She was rather pretty. However, it was quite clear that Hou Xiaoxia had told her about what happened in high school. Because Chen Hao could see that the girl was treating him with a rather unfazed demeanor. He nearly thought he had blisters on his face from how the girl was looking at him. When she saw him, she pursed her lips in a contemptuous way. Wang Wen definitely wouldn¡¯t talk about irrelevant things, but Hou Xiaoxia might have for all he knew. ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s me. When we were in high school, we were both on the same team for apetition!¡± Chen Hao kept his smile on. ¡°Right, Chen Hao, I haven¡¯t asked you if you have a girlfriend! If you don¡¯t, I have someone to introduce to you!¡± Wang Wen said,ughing. Chen Hao kind of looked like he had a girlfriend, but honestly, Wang Wen also felt like he might not have one. She didn¡¯t have any intention other than finding him a girlfriend, seeing as he might have lied about it to save his reputation. ¡°Hey, he definitely doesn¡¯t. Haha! Why don¡¯t we introduce Wang Yafei to Chen Hao? Yafei, Chen Hao may be a little poor, but he¡¯s a good man! Didn¡¯t your mom tell you to find a good, honest man who would listen to you after marriage? She even warned you not to find one like your ex-husband!¡± Hou Xiaoxia teased. ¡°Ugh, Xiaoxia! I¡¯m gonna be mad if you keep bringing that up. You¡¯re so mean!¡± Wang Yafei and Hou Xiaoxia yed around with each other. Obviously, the once-married Wang Yafei also looked down on Chen Hao. Chen Hao just shook his head bitterly after hearing that. Just then. ¡°Xiaoxia, what are you all up to? Why haven¡¯t you alle up yet?¡± A cool voice called, and they saw a handsome man in a suit walking toward them. Chapter 378 A Toast Chapter 378 A Toast ¡°Li Liang, we happened to meet an old ssmate!¡± Hou Xiaoxia waved affectionately at Li Liang. Clearly, this was her boyfriend. Wang Wen suddenly said, ¡°Hou Xiaoxia, didn¡¯t you say you had another ticket? Why don¡¯t we bring Chen Hao along? Since we haven¡¯t met in so many years, we can sit together and talk about the old days!¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Hou Xiaoxia rolled her eyes once. ¡°Sure, let¡¯s bring him with us! We can show Chen Hao what a grand event looks like! Here¡¯s your ticket, Chen Hao. Let¡¯s go together!¡± Hou Xiaoxia said. ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s go! You don¡¯t have anything else to do anyway, right?¡± Wang Wen asked, tugging at Chen Hao¡¯s elbow. ¡°Alright then!¡± Chen Hao nodded in agreement. If it was just an invitation from Hou Xiaoxia, Chen Hao would not have even thought of joining. But this was Wang Wen¡¯s invitation, and they were pretty close. Plus, Chen Hao was waiting for new information from his underlings and that would take awhile, so he decided to go over just to check things out. The few of them rode the elevator together and reached the third floor of the hotel. There was a big hall on the third floor which was specially used for holding parties. This hotel was an extremely prestigious one in Hong County. Everyone presented their tickets before walking in. There were quite a number of people who were already there. This seemed like a gathering held before the start of a big project. Based on what Hou Xiaoxia told Chen Hao, if one had no money or power, then they would not get the chance to show even a strand of their hair. As for Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s boyfriend, Li Liang, he was obviously rather well-versed with events like this. He knew quite a few people in here, and after greeting all of them one-by-one, they all sat down at a table. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chen Hao had sat next to Wang Wen and Liang Meng. But as he did so, Hou Xiaoxia suddenly spoke up. ¡°What do you mean, ¡®what am I doing¡¯?¡± Chen Hao shook his head with a bitter smile as he asked. ¡°You! Go sit over there! Do you think you have the right to sit at this table?¡± Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s attitude toward Chen Hao waspletely different as to how she treated him after entering the party. You were the one who gave me the ticket to enter. When Chen Hao turned to look at the direction Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s finger was pointing in, he saw a table in the corner. It looked to have been prepared for the secretaries and drivers of those who hade to have fun tonight. Obviously, Hou Xiaoxia thought Chen Hao didn¡¯t have the right to sit at the same table with her. In fact, Hou Xiaoxia had such a loud voice that it attracted the attention of everyone around them. Being embarrassed in public this way was rather awkward. Wang Wen hurriedly tried to reprimand Hou Xiaoxia. But Chen Hao didn¡¯t want to give Wang Wen any trouble. So, with a bitter smile, he walked toward the table in the corner. ¡°Xiaoxia, what¡¯s wrong with you? You treated Chen Hao pretty well before, so why are you treating him in public like this all of a sudden? Don¡¯t you know how much you¡¯re embarrassing him publicly?¡± Wang Wen said anxiously. ¡°That¡¯s right! I wanted him to be embarrassed in public. He should know how bad it feels!¡± Hou Xiaoxia suddenly swept a cold gaze toward Chen Hao. ¡°Why? Chen Hao didn¡¯t do anything to you! Unless¡­ Don¡¯t tell me, you¡¯re still caught up in that small matter from high school?!¡± Wang Wen was extremely perplexed. She had been the one to call Chen Hao along after all. Now that two of her good friends were clearly not on good terms with one another, of course she was getting anxious. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. ¡°Small matter? Wang Wen, do you really think what happened in high school was just a small matter?¡± When Hou Xiaoxia thought back to what happened, she still felt enraged. ¡°You remember too, don¡¯t you? We just finished apetition and managed to get a good ce. So, our school treated the twenty plus of us to eat in the province. After the meal, there were just a few of us left, so we decided to y truth or dare. I lost, and my dare was to confess to one person in the room! Did you forget about that?¡± Hou Xiaoxia said. ¡°Of course I remember! I knew you didn¡¯t have a crush on Chen Hao, but to save your own butt, you confessed to him right after he came back from helping the teacher carry things! You said, ¡®Chen Hao, I like you¡¯,¡± Wang Wen also remembered what happened at that time. ¡°And what did he say? Chen Hao said that we weren¡¯t suitable for each other! F*ck, was he drunk? Did that idiot really think I liked him?! Every time I think of that, I get pissed off! That day, everyone in ss my actual crush was right next to me! Do you know how humiliated I felt in that very moment?!¡± Hou Xiaoxia eximed. ¡°Argh! Do you know why he said you guys weren¡¯t suitable for each other? Because Chen Hao felt like he was so poor that he was no match for you! You¡¯re overthinking everything! Furthermore, he also knew that you didn¡¯t actually like him, and only said that because he panicked! Didn¡¯t you always afraid of you!¡± Wang Wen exined hurriedly. ¡°What do you mean? That idiot, I will make him regret doing that to me! Anyway, it wasn¡¯t just me who thought he was too poor. Wang Wen, didn¡¯t you think that too? Did you really think I didn¡¯t know that you used to like Chen Hao? Except you two had never gotten anywhere because you thought he was too poor! Isn¡¯t that right?¡± Hong Xiaoxia really did not hold back once she opened her mouth. These words caused Wang Wen¡¯s pretty face to redden as they had hit her in a sore spot. Meanwhile, Liang Meng also looked unhappy. No wonder Wang Wen hadn¡¯t epted him when he was pursuing her back then. It turns out she had a crush on Chen Hao! Liang Meng thought about how Wang Wen treated Chen Hao as well as how caring she was toward him and felt a hint of jealousy. Things werepletely different now! Before, Liang Meng never bothered about how well Wang Wen treated Chen Hao. He never saw Chen Hao as his rival, nor did he think Wang Wen would ever have a crush on Chen Hao. But now, Liang Meng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. So there were feelings between them? Liang Meng looked at Wang Wen¡¯s red face and confirmed it for himself. Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s words somehow managed to pierce Wang Wen where it hurt. She wasn¡¯t wrong, Wang Wen had liked Chen Hao once. Indeed, she had also thought of the possible scenarios if she were to get together with him even when Chen Hao was poor. How would my ssmates see me? What would they say about me? She couldn¡¯t cross this obstacle. In the end, she had given up the chance of further progress in her rtionship with Chen Hao. But this had never stopped Wang Wen from wishing that Chen Hao would be a capable person. Regarding the matter of feelings, if either party of the rtionship started to feel doubt, it would have a big crack in their feelings for each other. The atmosphere around them became even stranger. However, Chen Hao didn¡¯t hear anything that Hou Xiaoxia and Wang Wen were saying. A driver next to him was saying, ¡°Isn¡¯t that President Li¡¯s son over there, Li Liang? My boss said that Li Liang is representing President Li today, and he says we should go over and greet him, since all of our projectse from President Li! I wouldn¡¯t want us to get penalized if we don¡¯t!¡± ¡°Yeah, our President Wang also told us to at least give him a toast and tter him a little bit!¡± The few drivers and secretaries around them discussed. Li Liang¡¯s family owned apany, andpanies buttering each other up to smoothen their connections was extremely normal. Hence, ttering and asionally licking one¡¯s boots werepletely understandable. ¡°Alright, since they gave us that instruction, then how about we all go over together! Just in case we lose the chance to even give a toast once the ceremony starts!¡± a female secretary said. Following that, the group of them stood up. ¡°Hey, pal. Why don¡¯t youe along too?¡± Just then, a driver next to Chen Hao patted him on the shoulder. Obviously, he had assumed Chen Hao was a driver too¡­ Chapter 379 Hou Xiaoxia Felt Depressed Chapter 379 Hou Xiaoxia Felt Depressed ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°Hmph, fine! Don¡¯t go then. Why pretend to be something you¡¯re not?¡± A displeased female secretary scoffed. After that, the crowd went over to Li Liang¡¯s table to congratte him. Seeing how people were congratting her boyfriend, Hou Xiaoxia nced coldly at Chen Hao, who was sitting alone. It was as if she wanted to see a look of shame and embarrassment on Chen Hao¡¯s face. How dare you refuse me before! Look at the difference between us now! Look how insignificant you arepared to Li Liang. Did you really think I brought you here to broaden your horizons? Well, you''re wrong! Indeed, Hou Xiaoxia intended to humiliate Chen Hao. If more people were here, Chen Hao would feel even more embarrassed! On normal asions, she wouldn¡¯t have felt such satisfaction from taking revenge. Meanwhile, Wang Wen noticed how lonely Chen Hao was and figured that Hou Xiaoxia had invited him here to make a fool out of him. So, she decided to go over to apany him. ¡°Why are you going to him?¡± Liang Meng yanked on her shoulder roughly. As for Wang Wen, she didn¡¯t expect Liang Meng to react like this. It was then she realized that Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s words earlier might have affected Liang Meng, thus Wang Wen didn¡¯t say anything. Meanwhile, there were many people from other tables who came over to congratte Li Liang and Hou Xiaoxia. The whole time she was greeting these people, she would nce over at Chen Hao. The more she looked, the more ted she became. Just then, someone suddenly called out, ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± The person who called out to Chen Hao was a middle-aged man. He was surrounded by quite a few people and seemed to be very influential. After he called out, the crowd quieted down immediately. Everyone then looked in his direction. ¡°It really is Young Master Chen!¡± Another middle-aged man shouted at this moment. Then, around a dozen people in fancy clothes rushed toward the table at the end of the hall. Clearly, the person they were dashing to was Chen Hao. ¡°Whoa, isn¡¯t that President Guo?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him. But why is he rushing over to Chen Hao?¡± N?velDrama.Org is the owner. ¡°You guys, look! Not only is President Guo running toward him, even General Manager Li, President Wang, and General Manager Qin are heading there as well! They look quite eager.¡± Many of the attendees knew who President Guo was. In fact, the people rushing over to Chen Hao were a few of the most distinguished guests at the party. What does this mean? Just like before, everyone had quieted down as they began to speak. Needless to say, everyone¡¯s eyes were on them at the moment. The people at Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s table were dumbfounded, especially Hou Xiaoxia as she was staring at Chen Hao the entire time, thus she saw everything when the group ran over. She nearly choked on her wine. Hou Xiaoxia thought with astonishment, Young Master Chen? What¡¯s happening now? Why would a man like President Guo know a loser like Chen Hao? The satisfaction she felt a while ago disappeared in an instant. Recing that satisfaction was a tinge of nervousness. On the other hand, Wang Wen looked over to Chen Hao as well, feeling excited for some unknown reason. As for Liang Meng, the jealousy in him grew stronger. The crowd that was just congratting Li Liang all looked over in that direction as well. ¡°You are...?¡± Chen Hao asked, dumbfounded. He didn¡¯t know anyone from the group that stood before him. ¡°Damn, what¡¯s happening? President Guo went over to greet Chen Hao, and he doesn¡¯t even know who President Guo is?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so infuriating! Does he have any manners at all? Who raised him?¡± ¡°I think that President Guo might have mistaken him for someone else. Or maybe, Chen Hao is the driver of a powerful person. Even then, how could that be? The most powerful man in here should be President Guo!¡± The crowd muttered among themselves. ¡°Young Master Chen, perhaps my name slipped your mind. You might not know me but I do know you. Haha, here is my name card!¡± President Guoughed merrily. In the past, he couldn¡¯t even reach Young Master Chen, yet now he had showed up to this party. Chen Hao took the card over and nced at it. It turned out that President Guo was in the real estate business. Hispany¡¯s name looked familiar. President Guo added, ¡°Young Master Chen, we metst time at Miss Lin¡¯s birthday party! We were responsible for three development projects in Ping An County!¡± ¡°Oh, I remember now. How do you do, President Guo?¡± Chen Hao still couldn¡¯t remember him but things would turn awkward if he were to dwell on the topic. So, heughed. ¡°Young Master Chen, cheers to you!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen, here¡¯s to you!¡± Then, the group anxiously grabbed their drinks and clinked sses with Chen Hao. After Chen Hao finished his drink, President Guo invited Chen Hao to sit at the front but Chen Hao vehemently refused. He told him he was fine sitting here. Seeing how Chen Hao was unwilling to move to the front, President Guo felt somewhat apologetic. Nevertheless, he gave up persuading him. Chen Hao then told President Guo to carry on with his business and that they could resume their conversationter on. Naturally, President Guo epted the proposal with delight. After a round of clinking sses with him, everyone turned to leave. Hou Xiaoxia waspletely dumbfounded. ¡°How is this possible? How did President Guo get to know Chen Hao? Why is he so respectful toward Chen Hao?¡± Earlier, Hou Xiaoxia had intended to use this huge party to embarrass Chen Hao as revenge for how he had humiliated her in the past. But now, it was like a p in the face for Hou Xiaoxia. The stronger her vengeance, the more painful the p was. Li Liang could only drink a toast to President Guo and President Wang on behalf of his father, yet now these presidents were drinking a toast to Chen Hao himself. This awful feeling could only be understood by those in this situation. As for Wang Wen, her eyes brightened as the surprise Chen Hao brought with him was overwhelming. Deep down, conflicted feelings toward Chen Hao grew within her. At that time, Hou Xiaoxia wasn¡¯t in the mood to toast anymore and she sat down depressingly. Hou Xiaoxia asked Wang Wen anxiously, ¡°What do you think is going on? Wen, did you hear what President Guo said to Chen Hao?¡± Wang Wen shook her head. ¡°I only heard some parts of it, something about projects in Ping An County. That¡¯s where Chen Hao and our hometowns are at and it¡¯s now under development. Maybe that¡¯s how Chen Hao and President Guo met,¡± Liang Meng replied sourly. ¡°But why would President Guo drink toast to Chen Hao?¡± asked Hou Xiaoxia agitatedly, as if Chen Hao had stolen something from her. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I¡¯ll ask our high school friends if they know anything.¡± Liang Meng then proceeded to ask his old ssmates in the group chat. Hou Xiaoxia waited anxiously. ¡°Damn, someone really knows!¡± Suddenly, Liang Meng burst out with enthusiasm. He exined, ¡°It turns out that Chen Hao has a close childhood friend who is very powerful in Ping An County. This friend is in the automobile trade and has many connections!¡± ¡°So Chen Hao knew President Guo because of his childhood friend?¡± Hou Xiaoxia asked. ¡°This has to be it, since a ssmate said that a childhood friend of his is really influential!¡± Liang Meng replied with certainty. ¡°Oh my God! He gave me such a fright. Even then, why does Chen Hao have such good fortune?¡± Hou Xiaoxia was still quite angry. At this time, the host of the ceremony went up on the stage. The screen on stage then disyed a picture of a majestic mansion. No one knew anything about this mansion but they were all awed by it. Hou Xiaoxia covered her mouth and said, ¡°Damn, this mansion is too amazing. It¡¯s even on top of a mountain!¡± Chapter 380 One Step Ahead Chapter 380 One Step Ahead Wang Wen, Liang Meng and the others were all attracted to the Cloud Mansion that was shown on the screen. ¡°This mansion is in Jin Ling? Wen, why haven¡¯t I heard about it before?¡± Hou Xiaoxia asked in shock. Wang Wen nodded her head. ¡°It¡¯s the first time that I¡¯m seeing the Cloud Mansion as well. But, I might have heard of it before, as well as the fact that this mansion is worth a billion!¡± ¡°A billion?¡± Hou Xiaoxia bit her lip. ¡°The owner must be filthy rich!¡± President Guo announced, ¡°As everyone can see, this is the Cloud Mansion in Jin Ling. As a matter of fact, the purpose of this gathering is to announce that our group is going to build a Cloud Mansion in our beautiful Hong County!¡± His words caused amotion downstage. ¡°If Hong County could have such a spectacr Cloud Mansion, it would be amazing!¡± ¡°Imagine how much that would cost, but it would certainly be more than 600 million!¡± The crowd discussed among themselves. President Guo chuckled lightly. ¡°This is actually a bit embarrassing. Originally, we had nned to take photos of this Cloud Mansion at a closer distance but we weren¡¯t allowed to get too near. Therefore, we took some pictures from other angles instead. You may take a look at them first!¡± President Guo was quite the salesperson. Only the rich and powerful families could afford such a huge mansion and the best way to promote it was through their sons and daughters. The word-of-mouth among their circle would definitely bring huge publicity to this Cloud Mansion project in Hong County. This was the main aim of President Guo¡¯s gathering today. President Guo looked at the crowd¡¯s awed expressions and felt extremely satisfied. As the slides changed from one to another, a picture of the front view of the Cloud Mansion popped out. From this perspective, there was a long staircase that led to the Cloud Mansion. What shocked the crowd the most was that there were people in the picture. The foot of the mountain was parked with many luxury cars. Bodyguards d in ck stood on both sides of the staircase. This marvelous scene could only appear in movies. Hou Xiaoxia seemed to be very interested in this extravagant Cloud Mansion, thus she focused closely on the people in the photo. The bodyguards in ck who were standing on both sides were gazing respectfully at a young man who was walking on the staircase that led to the Cloud Mansion. It was such a shame that they could only see the silhouette of the young man due to the angle the photo was taken at. Apparently, this photo was captured when President Guo went over to celebrate Lin Yiyi¡¯s birthday. ¡°Who is that young man?¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s a no-brainer! That¡¯s the owner of the mansion of course!¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, now that is what you call life. If only everyone could live like that. I¡¯m so envious!¡± There werepliments everywhere. After staring at the screen for quite some time, Hou Xiaoxia froze. Huh? However, Hou Xiaoxia seemed quite frightened and didn¡¯t say anything. At this moment, Wang Wen tugged at Hou Xiaoxia, ¡°Xiaoxia, look at that young master in the middle. Why does he look so simr to Chen Hao? Do you see it?¡± Hou Xiaoxia said, ¡°Huh? How could it be? They just look slightly alike. How could Chen Hao possibly afford such an expensive mansion?¡± In fact, Hou Xiaoxia was not mentally prepared for it. What if that person really is Chen Hao? I¡¯ll be better off dead. Haha, then again, it wouldn¡¯t be possible! ¡°No, look! They look really alike! Let me ask Chen Hao!¡± Wang Wen eximed agitatedly. She turned her head around, searching for Chen Hao. Hou Xiaoxia looked over in Chen Hao¡¯s direction as well. Then, the two girls gasped. ¡°Huh? Where¡¯s Chen Hao?¡± Hou Xiaoxia asked, ¡°Where is he? Wasn¡¯t he just here a minute ago?¡± After a pause, Hou Xiaoxia seemed to have found something to vent her anger and mocked, ¡°Hmph, I know. Chen Hao must have felt very ufortable here and has gone to hide. I''m sure he¡¯s intimidated by all of this!¡± Wang Wen could only shake her head helplessly. She wanted very much to give Chen Hao a call to ask where he was, but killed the thought as soon as she saw Liang Meng was getting upset. As for Chen Hao, he knew immediately the purpose of the gathering as soon as President Guo mentioned the Cloud Mansion in Jin Ling. He felt quite awkward if he continued to stay. It would not be pleasant if someone recognized him, especially in front of Hou Xiaoxia. So, Chen Hao left early. After all, he only came because of Wang Wen. He still had a lot of things to do and could not stay for long. He was preparing to return to his room when he received a call from one of his men. ¡°Young Master Chen, it¡¯s all our fault. We already found out where the servant was and went there as soon as possible but¡­ She was already taken away by someone else!¡± Earlier, he had thought that since he had a lead, following it and locating the maid should not be a problem. He was very cautious and had sent his men as soon as he got wind of it. However, he did not expect someone else to be a step ahead of him. Fuming, Chen Hao asked, ¡°Who took her?¡± ¡°We are still investigating but we are quite certain that there is another group of people who are looking for this servant as well!¡± ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll send more men to help out. Find out who took her as soon as possible!¡± Chen Hao hung up the phone, feeling exasperated. How could looking for someone be this troublesome? ¡°Chen Hao, is that you?¡± Just when Chen Hao was about to head upstairs, a girl behind him called out, sounding surprised. Chen Hao turned around and was shocked as well. The lobby of the hotel was packed with people. They were all bodyguards d in ck with sunsses on, emanating an impressive aura. N?velDrama.Org is the owner. There were at least thirty of them. If he didn¡¯t spot the two girls amidst the group, Chen Hao would have mistaken them as his men! These two girls were none other than Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi! ¡°It¡¯s you two!¡± said Chen Hao with a smile. If he remembered correctly, this was the second time that he had seen Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi appearing in such an ostentatious way. At this moment, Chen Hao started processing his thoughts. It doesn¡¯t make sense. Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi love studying and usually, they would be reluctant to skip even a lesson. Why would theye to Hong County today with so many people in such a hurry? Chen Hao quickly realized that Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi were from the Fang family and so was Fang Mengxin. The ones looking for Fang Mengxin¡¯s servant should be Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi! Fang Yi asked confusedly, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see you here. Why are you here in Hong County?¡± Immediately, Fang Yi frowned and exchanged looks with Fang Jiannan. They both then turned to Chen Hao, sizing him up. He felt anxious under the gaze of these two girls. What was happening? Did he blow his cover? Chapter 381 A Plan Is Made Chapter 381 A n Is Made Fang Yi eximed, ¡°I know! Chen Hao, did you twoe here early for tomorrow¡¯s two-day tour around Hong County, the one that¡¯s organized by Fatty Wang?¡± ¡°Huh? Oh yeah, but Fatty Wang hasn¡¯t arrived yet. I came here first to book a hotel. It¡¯s such a coincidence to run into you two here. Did you twoe here earlier to look around as well?¡± Chen Hao nced at Fang Jiannan¡¯s bodyguards. ¡°Fatty Wang told me you guys love to travel.¡± Initially, Chen Hao assumed that they found out he was also looking for the servant, so he got very nervous. But after their exchange, he exhaled with relief. Chen Hao gratefully went along with the excuse that they conveniently provided. ¡°Tsk, what are you talking about? We have much more important things on our hands. We came here to-¡± Fang Yi rolled her eyes at Chen Hao as she tried to exin. But Fang Jiannan quickly warned her with a look, as though it meant, Fang Yi, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you giving so much away?¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Only then did Fang Yi realize her mistake. Frankly speaking, Fang Jiannan couldn¡¯t me it all on Fang Yi. Though Fang Yi and Fang Jiannan kept their distance from the ssmates, the two girls knew everything about them. Judging by their looks, one would not have guessed that their topics of discussion were actually quite simr to other girls, such as stories in ss, who was handsome or who wasn¡¯t handsome but had a good personality and more. At the end of the day, they still loved to gossip about everyone. After all, they were girls, even though they did have some unusual experiences. By now, they had already discussed Chen Hao at some length and even took pains to know more about him. Hence, they were quite familiar with Chen Hao now. Also, the impression that Chen Hao left on the two girls was iparable to other boys. Startled by the sight of him, Fang Yi couldn¡¯t help but chat with him. However, she quickly kept quiet after Fang Jiannan red at her. After Fang Jiannan threw a nce at Chen Hao, she led the group of people upstairs. Chen Hao was shocked and suspicious. How strange. If Fang Jiannan already found the servant, she would have left long ago. Why would she still be here in Hong County? If Fang Jiannan didn¡¯t take her, then who could it be? s, Chen Hao had to wait for a detailed report from his men to assess the situation better. ¡°Jiannan, I¡¯m so sorry. I was too excited back there. The words just came out of my mouth and before I knew it, I told Chen Hao so much!¡± After they went into their room, Fang Yi tugged at Fang Jiannan¡¯s hand and apologized. Fang Jiannan replied with a bitter smile, ¡°It¡¯s alright, but be careful next time. We may have more freedom now than before but we can¡¯t be too conspicuous.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be careful next time!¡± Fang Yi stuck her tongue out yfully. ¡°This task was such a close call. I just don¡¯t understand how she can be so stubborn. Why is that case so important to her? Where do we even start looking? Jiannan, what will you do next?¡± Fang Yi asked worriedly. Fang Jiannan gave her another warning look before saying, ¡°Fang Yi, I really regret bringing you out. Why do you have to say everything out loud? The walls have ears, you know!¡± Fang Yi stuck her tongue out again and quickly covered her mouth. ¡°From now on, I¡¯m going back to being cool and reserved. I¡¯m not going to say anything anymore!¡± Fang Yi promised. ¡°You don¡¯t have to do that. To be honest, it¡¯s not difficult for me to search for something. The thing I¡¯m worried about now is a force that has the same goal as us. Moreover, they are as skilled as our men. It N?velDrama.Org is the owner. may seem like we have the upper hand now but actually, we are the ones in the open while our opponent is in hiding. They mightunch a surprise attack at us and expose our family. Most importantly, we don¡¯t even know who our opponent is! Sigh, I¡¯ve been worrying about this the whole time,¡± said Fang Jiannan as she rubbed her temples. ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s not a problem. I know what to do!¡± Fang Yi said merrily. ¡°You?¡± Fang Jiannan sniggered. ¡°Hmph! Jiannan, don¡¯t judge a book by its cover. I¡¯m actually pretty smart. Isn¡¯t this just like the game ''Werewolf''?¡± Fang Yi said. Fang Jiannan shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡± Fang Yi exined patiently, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. You¡¯re afraid that you will be exposed, right? So why don¡¯t you find yourself a cloak of invisibility and confuse the enemy? That way, you and the Fang family will remain anonymous and you can do whatever you want!¡± ¡°That¡¯s interesting. Are you saying that rather than fighting with the enemy, we should find a decoy to do the job for us? And this might even lure the enemy out?¡± Fang Jiannan caught on quickly. Fang Yi snapped her fingers. ¡°Bingo, exactly!¡± ¡°Sigh, but who should we find? Who can we divert the attention to?¡± Fang Jiannan racked her brain. Fang Yi pursed her lips and was lost in thought as well. Right then, Fang Yi pped her forehead. ¡°Hahaha, I know who to look for!¡± Fang Jiannan guessed resignedly, ¡°Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Yes, Chen Hao is the best choice. Jiannan, we discussed about him before. Though he¡¯s good looking, he¡¯s a bit silly. He¡¯s quite rich but he keeps a low profile. Also, he¡¯s friends with the rich and famous in Chengdu! Isn¡¯t he the perfect candidate? That way, the enemy wouldn¡¯t see iting when Chen Hao appears in our ce instead!¡± Fang Jiannan nodded her head slowly. ¡°You¡¯re right. Chen Hao would be the best candidate. However, this might be dangerous. Are you sure we should put his life at risk? Will Chen Hao even agree to it?¡± ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t worry about it. I have my ways!¡± Fang Yi immediately thought of a n. In thete hours of the evening, Fang Yi went up to the front door of Chen Hao¡¯s room quietly. It was a piece of cake for Fang Yi to find out which room belonged to Chen Hao. She then knocked on his door. Chen Hao opened his door and poked his head out. ¡°Why are you here?¡± He was quite taken aback. He did not expect that this reserved and popr girl would look for him. ¡°Are you surprised? I came to you because I need a favor.¡± Fang Yi smiled. ¡°You want a favor from me?¡± Chen Hao knew exactly the identities of these two sisters, thus he was very shocked. If they were really from the Fang family, Fang Yi wouldn¡¯t have toe to him for help. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s rather inconvenient to talk here. Why don¡¯t youe up to my room?¡± Fang Yi suggested. ¡°To your room? It¡¯s veryte now, I don¡¯t think that¡¯s appropriate,¡± Chen Hao said with surprise. Chapter 382 Conspiracy Chapter 382 Conspiracy ¡°Juste with me, there''s nothing inappropriate about this!¡± Fang Yi hauled Chen Hao out of his room. Chen Hao was curious as to why Fang Yi was looking for him. After entering the room, Fang Yi made a hand gesture signaling Chen Hao to keep quiet. ¡°Fang Yi, are you back?¡± At that moment, Fang Jiannan¡¯s voice came from the bathroom. Shortly after, Fang Jiannan pushed open the door and stepped out of the bathroom. Chen Hao was stunned the next second. Fang Jiannan with her ck and silky long hair came into sight. At that moment, she was wearing only the upper part of her sleepwear. Her tone and fair legs were exposed. Obviously, she had just finished taking a bath. She was talking to Fang Yi while drying her hair with a towel. ¡°Ah!¡± She caught sight of Chen Hao who was standing inside her room, his eyes fixated on her. Fang Jiannan¡¯s face blushed at once. Anxiously, she returned to the bathroom to hide herself. Indeed, Fang Jiannan had never appeared this way in front of a guy before. In fact, she had always deemed rtionships and romance to be unrealistic. This was due to the fact that she seldom interacted with boys. At that moment, she was hiding despondently inside the bathroom as her heart pounded furiously. ¡°Fang Yi, why did you bring him into my room?!¡± Fang Jiannan¡¯s embarrassed and furious voice echoed in the bathroom. ¡°Hahaha! Of course I have to do that. Otherwise, it was impossible to ask any favor from him!¡± Although the n did not turn out exactly as she had anticipated, the oue was quite satisfactory. ording to Fang Yi¡¯s n, Chen Hao was supposed to catch Fang Jiannan while she was showering. It was not unknown to Fang Jiannan that Fang Yi had always been a reckless one. However, she did not expect Fang Yi would pull such a prank. ¡°Okay, I''ll stop fooling around. Chen Hao, I invited you here because we need a favor from you. Out of all the students from our two sses, you are the only one who would be capable enough to help us!¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. said Fang Yi. At that moment, Fang Jiannan walked out of the bathroom after putting on a long nightgown. She shot a vicious stare at Fang Yi before ncing over at Chen Hao begrudgingly. Chen Hao looked somewhat awkward too. Rubbing at his nose, he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Actually, it¡¯s nothing much. We would like you to help us look for something! This shouldn¡¯t be an arduous task for you. Besides, I know what you¡¯ve seen just now. Could you even face Jiannan in the future if you refuse to help us when you are able to do it?¡± said Fang Yi. ¡°Fang Yi, what nonsense are you talking about?¡± Fang Jiannan spoke with some resignation. Chen Hao let out a bitterugh. In fact, Chen Hao had intended to help the two girls. This presented the best opportunity for him to get closer to them. Besides, it was very likely that Fang Mengxin¡¯s servant was with them. Chen Hao had earnestly wished for such an opportunity. Thus, he asked, ¡°Out with it then, what is the thing that I''m supposed to look for?¡± ¡°Well, I remember that our ssmates will being here for a trip tomorrow. How about you bring some of your friends along and we would all head to the ce? It¡¯s that simple! Of course, you would be the one leading the search,¡± Fang Yi exined. Chen Hao was quiet for a moment as he thought that it was unlikely that he would be able to glean any information from them for the time being. He decided to take on the mission first. Thereafter, he nodded his head before saying, ¡°Okay!¡± After Chen Hao left the room, Fang Jiannan grabbed and twisted Fang Yi¡¯s ears in a swift motion before eximing, ¡°You damn girl, you are outright infuriating! Damn it! Luckily I stepped out of the bathroom with a top on. Otherwise, you would suffer a bitter end!¡± At the thought of what happened earlier, Fang Jiannan was overwhelmed with terror. At that moment, she hated Fang Yi to the core. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m really sorry. But then, didn¡¯t you see that I¡¯ve also managed to settle things? My guess was spot-on. Chen Hao does have a crush on you. Probably you didn¡¯t realize it, but his eyes almost popped out while he was looking at you just now! ¡°Stop talking already. I think I will have to beat you up!¡± Meanwhile, somewhere inside a manor. Four to five luxurious cars drove into thepound of the manor. The passengers in the car alighted and made their way toward the vi. ¡°Young Master Yang, everyone has arrived!¡± A man who looked like the butler brought the group into the vi. ¡°Good day to you, Young Master Yang. May we know the reason why all of us are summoned here today by Young Master Long?¡± It was a foreigner who spoke. There was an eeriness in his eyes and his face was expressionless and cold. ¡°Hehe, of course. I suppose Shaoyun had told all of you that you all would need to take action ording to my instructions from now on. I¡¯ll just get to the point. All of you are summoned here this time to help me with a kidnapping act!¡± Young Master Yang was none other than Situ Yang. At that moment, he was talking with a tone tinged with fury and his face was filled with resentment. The butler then handed a photo to the leader of the group of men. ¡°It¡¯s only a girl, Young Master Yang. Is it really necessary to deploy our forces just to get hold of her?¡± The young leader put aside the photo indifferently. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be too reckless. Even more than ten strong guys couldn¡¯t get near her!¡± Situ Yang continued, ¡°Moreover, to be safe, you guys have to utilize a smarter way to get hold of her. Of course, all of you are only assigned to bring her to the designated ce. I will be in charge of the rest.¡± The assassins exchanged nces among themselves before nodding their heads. ¡°Uncle Fu, please arrange their amodation.¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master Yang!¡± After the group of assassins left, an old man with half of his face in white and the other in ck walked out of a hidden corner of the room with his arms crossed in front of his chest. ¡°Uncle Jiu, would it be a redundant move to gather all these men here with such great effort? Although Fang Jiannan is indeed skilled, I believe I can handle her easily!¡± Situ Yang said as he was getting miffed. ¡°Of course it¡¯s not hard to deal with Fang Jiannan alone. However, the Situ Family would be put at a disadvantaged situation if our deeds were found out by the Fang Family. Therefore, the perfect solution is to do it through the help of others,¡± the old man said. ¡°Fair enough. It is puzzling as to what the Fang Family is up to now. Fang Jiannan had always been confined in her home back then. Now, she¡¯s even roaming free all the way in Hong County. ording to my staff, they are looking for something here, though it is unknown exactly what they are trying to look for. My father had assigned us to do a thorough investigation on her. Hehe, Fang Jiannan, you¡¯ve always looked down on me, so please don¡¯t me me for being ruthless. This time, I will surely make you mine!¡± said Situ Yang. At the thought of being pped by Fang Jiannan in front of everyone else the other day, Situ Yang was overwhelmed by humiliation once again. With Fang Jiannan under his captivity, it would bring a mess to the Fang Family. Apart from that, Situ Yang believed that he could even get some clues from either the insiders of the Fang Family or that impulsive girl, Fang Yi. It was indeed killing two birds with one stone. Uncle Jiu was right too. With Long Shaoyun from Yan Jing helping him, he could be the secret mastermind and would be able to make changes to his n ording to the situation. In fact, Long Shaoyun and Situ Yang were old buddies. The both of them were famous for being rich in the area they resided in. It went without saying that they interacted with each other quite frequently. This was not their first time getting involved in such shady matters. At the moment, a luxurious car pulled up by the entrance of the manor. Situ Yang looked out of the manor and put on a subtle grin before announcing, ¡°Long Shaoyun is here!¡± ¡°Brother Yang, it has been a long time. How have you been doing?¡± Soon, Long Shaoyun was walking toward the inside of the vi with both of his hands tucked into the pockets of his trousers. Chapter 383 The Search Chapter 383 The Search ¡°Shaoyun, it really has been a long time. I was delighted to hear that you were going to pay me a visit!¡± Situ Yang said with a smile at the sight of Long Shaoyun. ¡°Oh right, are Uncle Long and the rest of your family in good health? Before this, my father has been pestering me to pay a visit to Uncle Long in Yan Jing.¡± ¡°Thanks for your concern, Brother Yang. They are doing fine!¡± said Long Shaoyun. Situ Yang invited Long Shaoyun to sit down before continuing, ¡°How about you? From what I¡¯ve heard, you have been reproached by Uncle Long not long ago? I heard that you¡¯ve been locked up in your own house for half a month now.¡± ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s not bring that up, otherwise I might get angry again. By the way, Brother Yang, I think we should talk about your matter. I¡¯ve brought the assassins here and you¡¯ve already seen them. They came from North America and they are all very skillful!¡± ¡°I can tell that they¡¯re good. Of course, I never need to worry about the men you provide me!¡± ¡°Very well, let¡¯s wish for the sess of the operation tomorrow!¡± On the next day. Wang Xiaohua and the rest of the ssmates arrived. Last night, Chen Hao assigned Wang Xiaohua to gather four to five trustworthy guys from their ss. Of course, Wang Xiaohua knew that he couldn¡¯t afford to be careless. Hence, he had arranged for another ssmate to lead the tour while he and the four to five guys would follow Chen Hao. As for Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi, it was obvious they had also reached a consensus beforehand. Just as before, they acted very cold and indifferent to Chen Hao and didn¡¯t talk to him at all. Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Xu Yangyang was here too, though there was a drastic change in her attitudepared to before. First of all, she didn¡¯t glue herself to Liang Fei anymore like how she used to. Instead, she would peek at Chen Hao from time to time with a blushed face. It was unknown exactly what was mentioned in Chen Hao, Hu Huimin and Xu Yangyang¡¯s previous conversation that had triggered the change. However, it was obvious that Chen Hao did not pay any attention to her. After greeting Wang Xiaohua, the four to five guys bid farewell to the rest of the ssmates and were ready to make their way to a ce called Clearwater Vige. ¡°Stop right there, Wang Xiaohua and Chen Hao. Where are you guys going? Why aren¡¯t you joining us?¡± As soon as Chen Hao was ready to drive away, a girl rushed toward them. Her face was filled with puzzlement. ¡°Lin Shengnan, aren¡¯t you being too nosy? Do we even need to tell you beforehand wherever we¡¯re going?¡± asked Wang Xiaohua. ¡°Hmph, I noticed that you guys have been acting sneakily on the journey here. As it turns out, you guys are really going somewhere else on your own. Are you going to ditch us and go somewhere even more interesting?¡± Lin Shengnan demanded angrily. At the same time, she casted a furtive nce at Chen Hao. She wanted to check whether Chen Hao was looking at her. As it turned out, Chen Hao was leaning against a luxurious Mercedes Benz with both of his hands tucked into the pockets of his trousers and he was looking at somewhere else. Lin Shengnan couldn¡¯t help feeling disappointed. Sometimes, human¡¯s emotions could be ambiguous, peculiar and indecipherable. In the beginning, Lin Shengnan was just like Xu Yangyang. She never took Chen Hao seriously as he meant nothing to her. If it wasn¡¯t for the incident where she had to confront Chen Hao after he had offended Xu Yangyang, she would not have voluntarily interacted with him. However, judging from several incidents that happened thereafter, it appeared that Chen Hao was a very rich guy with vast connections. He exuded apletely different air than before. Nevertheless, Chen Hao was still the same guy. Back then, she would not have been the least bit affected by the way he treated her. But now, an unpleasant feeling would grow within Lin Shengnan whenever Chen Hao ignored her. She felt as though her life was somewhat impaired or wascking something. The same thing happened to her early in the morning when all the ssmates had arrived. Chen Hao greeted some of the ssmates. She was the only one he missed out. Therefore, Lin Shengnan made a dash toward them as she felt the urge to ask Wang Xiaohua what they were up to. When actually, she did all of that in an attempt to draw Chen Hao¡¯s attention. Obviously, she made a mistake. ¡°What¡¯re you talking about? We have some serious matters to attend to. Please run along and have fun yourself!¡± Wang Xiaohua was a changed man too. Back then, he would be submissive and terrified whenever Lin Shengnan was around. Yet, he appeared very confident now. He was talking with a cigarette in his mouth. ¡°Exactly, just go on with the tour and stop asking questions!¡± The rest of the guys chimed in. ¡°W-Why are you guys being so rude! Chen Hao, don¡¯t you think that you have to talk some sense into them? Just look at the way they are talking to me now!¡± Lin Shengnan shot a furious look at Chen Hao, who was standing beside them. Only then did Chen Hao turn his head to face them and said, ¡°Enough, Fatty. Stop talking already. Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Very well, Brother Chen!¡± Wang Xiaohua immediately nodded his head. Then, the guys got into the car. Wang Xiaohua had not gotten his driving license yet. Therefore, Chen Hao had to drive the Mercedes Benz himself. As for Lin Shengnan, she started to lose her temper. Seeing that Chen Hao was still ignoring her, she made her way to the other side of the car, pulled the door open and took the front seat. ¡°Damn, what are you doing?¡± Chen Hao thought to himself, What¡¯s wrong with Lin Shengnan? What a spooky day. Didn¡¯t she love to mingle with Liang Fei and his friends? Why has she be so attentive toward me? In fact, all of this no longer bothered him. Ever since the Taekwondo Tournament, the ss had been split into two groups. One of the groups was made up of Liang Fei and some of his old friends; the other was made up of a group of ssmates with Chen Hao and Wang Xiaohua as the leaders. As for Lin Shengnan, she obviously belonged in Liang Fei¡¯s group. However, she was sitting in Chen Hao¡¯s car now. ¡°Aren¡¯t you being too shameless, Lin Shengnan? Why did you even get in the car?¡± ¡°Exactly. You''re sticking to us so stubbornly. I¡¯ve nevere across anyone like you!¡± Wang Xiaohua and the rest bombarded her with criticisms. Their words triggered an immediate eruption of emotion within her. This was due to the intense humiliation she had been suppressing ever since she decided to please Chen Hao in an attempt to get close to him. Her eyes reddened and tears started to stream down her face. ¡°Why are you guys criticizing me so badly? I¡¯m allowed to have fun anywhere. Why can¡¯t you guys just bring me along? What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± Thereafter, she turned to look at Chen Hao and said, ¡°Also, Chen Hao, why are you ignoring me? You didn¡¯t even look at me when I greeted you. When we bumped into each other in the canteen, you didn¡¯t even bother to acknowledge me. I know I wasn''t the nicest to you when you first came to the school. However, I have already offered my apology to you, and you¡¯ve already forgiven me too!¡± ¡°Ah? Did I?¡± Chen Hao was in a daze. ¡°Yes. It happened several times over these few days. You never greeted me nor did you pay any regards to me!¡± said Lin Shengnan. Feeling awkward, Chen Hao scratched his head and said, ¡°Perhaps I¡¯ve already forgotten about this. ¡± Over these few days, Chen Hao¡¯s mind was upied by several issues. So, he simply didn¡¯t have time to bother about this. Lin Shengnan didn¡¯t like the bitter taste of defeat. ying hard to get was the best way to deal with girls as such. The more indifferent a guy was, the more she would want him to be close to her. Naturally, Chen Hao did not think that way. In fact, Chen Hao was feeling slightly embarrassed at the sight of Lin Shengnan crying. After all, there was never really a feud between the two of them. He nodded his head and gave in. ¡°Well, having an extra member wouldn¡¯t affect us in any way. You¡¯re weed to join us if you want to!¡± Lin Shengnan immediately stopped crying and said, ¡°Great, I can buy drinks for you guys!¡± Wang Xiaohua who was sitting at the back cringed at Lin Shengnan¡¯s behavior. Damn, the change in her attitude happened so fast and drastic. Chen Hao then started the drive. Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi exchanged nces with each other as they started the engine of their car and followed Chen Hao. As soon as Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi took off, seven to eight luxurious cars which were stopped by the roadside, started charging in the direction of Fang Jiannan¡¯s car... Chapter 384 The Eccentric Lady Chapter 384 The entric Lady Clearwater Vige was just a stone¡¯s throw away from Hong County. When they reached the vige, they managed to locate the house as mentioned by Fang Yi. The person who opened the door was a middle-ageddy whose entire face was filled with burn scars. It was a scary sight to behold. ¡°Who are you guys looking for?¡± Thedy couldn¡¯t help feeling startled at the sight of Chen Hao and the rest of them. Perhaps she was worried that her hideous face would frighten the strangers standing before her, thus she was holding her head low in embarrassment. ¡°Hi Madam, are you Aunt Xia¡¯s cousin? ording to her, she had left something in your custody. We would like to retrieve it on her behalf. She said that after reading this letter, you would be able to understand everything,¡± Fang Jiannan walked over and said. Then, she handed a letter to the middle-ageddy. After looking at the letter and throwing several nces at Fang Jiannan, thedy nodded her head. ¡°Alright, I understand. You guys may take it with you!¡± Thedy signaled for Chen Hao and the rest of them to walk into her house. As it turned out, the thing that Aunt Xia would like them to retrieve as mentioned by Fang Jiannan was arge wooden box. It would require at least several people to carry it. Judging from what Fang Jiannan had said, he reckoned that Aunt Xia was that servant! As for Lin Shengnan, she never expected Chen Hao and the rest of the guys were here to provide manualbor. Apparently, they were not here to have fun. Hence, she was quite disappointed. Moreover, the face of the middle-ageddy was quite a horrid sight. Lin Shengnan would get goosebumps all over her body if she were to look at her face any longer. So while Chen Hao and the guys were busy carrying the box, Lin Shengnan sneaked away. Out of boredom, she took a stroll outside the house. Suddenly, Lin Shengnan caught sight of several luxurious cars driving in at a high speed from the entrance of the vige in the direction of the house. In her daily life, Lin Shengnan was a daring but meticulous girl. She felt puzzled at the sight of the cars. In fact, she had already noticed the presence of the cars on their way to the vige earlier. But she did not mention anything about it. From afar, she could see that the seats inside the cars were all filled up by men. Lin Shengnan¡¯s curiosity was instigated by the sight. At the moment, she made a dash back to the house. ¡°Chen Hao, there are several carsing here from the outside! The cars are filled with people as well!¡± eximed Lin Shengnan. ¡°Ah?¡± Fang Yi was in a daze. She anxiously made a dash outside to check out on the cars. ¡°Jiannan, Chen Hao, bad news. There are really many of them, and they¡¯re heading over in our direction!¡± Fang Yi was so distressed that she started to get jumpy. Fang Jiannan furrowed her brows. She had been very discreet while carrying this out. For safety and security, she didn¡¯t even bring along her own staff. She acted like she was on a trip with her ssmates like any other day. However, she did not expect that she would still be followed. ¡°What should we do?¡± Fang Jiannan was somewhat flustered. Chen Hao, too, was baffled by this. Damn, he did not ask his own men to be here, so why were there so many men out there? ¡°Jiannan, you guys, quicklye into my room now!¡± At the moment, thedy with her face full of scars was tugging at Fang Jiannan¡¯s arm. She led Chen Hao and the rest of them into a room inside the house. She lifted open the divan of the bed to reveal a secret passageway inside. Fang Jiannan stared at thedy in bewilderment. Thedy said, ¡°My cousin used to stay here quite frequently because she had a lot of enemiesing after her. Therefore, both of us have such a passageway installed in our houses. Since my cousin has instructed you guys toe for me, I believe she trusts you guys. Please follow me!¡± Fang Jiannan nodded her head. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t help taking a lingering look at thedy. He had an inkling that he had seen thisdy before and she looked familiar to him. However, he could not recall exactly where he had seen her. At the moment, it was unknown as to who wasing after them. He could only follow them into the passageway for the time being. Before long, the group of men reached the house and barged in straightaway. Obviously, they wereing after Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi. ¡°You managed to inform us about it just in time!¡± While Chen Hao was hiding in the passageway, he took a look at Lin Shengnan. Chen Hao tried to catch themotion outside. Apparently, the group of men were relentlessly searching for them in the house. Fang Jiannan was so anxious that her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Chen Hao reckoned that hiding away was not the way to go. At the moment, Chen Hao was huddled up at the innermost corner of the passageway with Lin Shengnan beside him. Right then, she saw Chen Hao fishing out a small but exquisitely made device from one of his trouser pockets. Lin Shengnan was shocked to see the device, as she felt that it looked quite unusual. Chen Hao then made a hand gesture signaling her to keep quiet. Thereafter, he pushed a button on the device and dialed a number. ¡°W-What is this? Could this be used to ask for help?¡± Lin Shengnan whispered to him with her eyes widened. Chen Hao pressed her head low and murmured to her in a soft voice, ¡°Forget everything you have just seen and don¡¯t tell anyone!¡± Lin Shengnan nodded her head vigorously. Still, she was very curious about the function of the device. What would Chen Hao get by pushing that button? All of them stayed inside the passageway for nearly ten minutes. Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the sky. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°What¡¯s that sound?¡± ¡°Oh no, boss, we are being surrounded! There are over ten helicopters hovering above us! We should go now, otherwise it would be toote!¡± one of the guys outside shouted. ¡°What? Damn, retreat now! Fast!¡± It was then followed by the sound of footsteps of the group of men leaving the room. Lin Shengnan kept her eyes wide open. Obviously, she was deeply frightened by what was mentioned by the group of men. Pfft! Chen Hao had actually summoned helicopters here? Seriously? Who was he exactly? Not everyone who came from a wealthy family had such a capability. However, Chen Hao had forbidden her from mentioning anything about the device. Therefore, Lin Shengnan dared not make any morements. Soon, the sound of the helicoptersing from the sky gradually faded away. ¡°It¡¯s safe now. Let¡¯s head outside!¡± thedy behind Chen Hao spoke. Fang Jiannan walked out of the room filled with uncertainty. Chen Hao followed suit from behind. Meanwhile, thedy was thest to go out. As she was about to get out of the passageway, something on the ground nked under her feet. She picked up that thing and took a look at it. It was a jade pendant. Indeed, when Chen Hao was taking the little device out from his trouser pocket just now, the jade pendant had identally fell out from his pocket. She then stroked the jade pendant. Suddenly, thedy trembled all over. In the dark passageway, thedy was holding onto the jade pendant with both of her hands. ¡°T-T-This¡­¡± All of a sudden, her voice became shaky. ¡°Eh? Why is that madam not out yet?¡± ¡°Exactly. Madam, are youing out?¡± Wang Xiaohua shouted. Only then did thedye out of the passageway. ¡°Madam, we¡¯re really grateful to you. This is a reward for you. Please don¡¯t worry, once we managed to locate the person we are trying to look for, we would send Aunt Xia back here.¡± Fang Jiannan ced a bank card on a table and said, ¡°The password is Aunt Xia¡¯s birthday.¡± ¡°Jiannan, we should not stay here any longer. Let¡¯s go! It was a narrow escape just now! It''s so strange though, why were there helicoptersing to our rescue?¡± Fang Yi stated with her voice full of doubt. Fang Jiannan shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯ve no idea too. It¡¯s better for us to go now and leave any discussion forter. Chen Hao, let¡¯s go!¡± It seemed like Fang Jiannan had already secured the whereabouts of the servant. Chen Hao nodded his head before getting ready to leave together with Wang Xiaohua and the guys. ¡°Boy, please wait for a moment!¡± At that moment, thedy, somewhat agitated, called out to Chen Hao¡­ Chapter 385 Admission Chapter 385 Admission ¡°Me?¡± Chen Hao pointed at himself. ¡°Boy, I can see that you are a rather smart guy. Could you stay back and do me a favor?¡± Thedy kept her emotions under control just in time. ¡°Very well, Madam. Chen Hao would stay on to help you!¡± said Fang Yi. She really treated Chen Hao as one of her servants. Chen Hao had no other choice. In the end, he reluctantly agreed to help. After the rest of them had left, thedy grabbed both of Chen Hao¡¯s hands in a sudden motion. Chen Hao was greatly surprised. ¡°Madam, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Hao asked anxiously. ¡°Boy, although I have no idea who you really are, I can tell that you are a very kind person. Could you please enlighten me on where did you get this jade pendant from?¡± As thedy spoke, she lifted up the jade pendant which she had picked up from the passageway earlier. Indeed, it was the jade pendant which was given to him by Su Ziyue with the name ''Mengxin'' engraved on it. Chen Hao was taken aback by thedy¡¯s emotional state. However, he still managed to reply, ¡°This belongs to my sister. What¡¯s wrong, Madam?¡± Thedy immediately answered, ¡°You¡¯re saying she is your sister. Is she still alive? Is she?¡± At the same time, she shook Chen Hao¡¯s shoulders violently. Chen Hao nodded his head. ¡°Of course!¡± At that moment, tears started to stream down thedy¡¯s face. No matter how dense he was, he could tell that something was fishy. Thedy was getting too emotional over the jade pendant. Only until then did Chen Hao realize the reason why he thought thedy looked familiar as if he had met her somewhere before. Just then, a thought shed across Chen Hao¡¯s mind. He finally recalled something. Although thedy¡¯s face waspletely disfigured, her expressions as well as her features looked strikingly simr to Su Ziyue¡¯s. Could she be... ¡°Madam, I reckon that you¡¯re not Aunt Xia¡¯s cousin?¡± Chen Hao asked in an attempt to sound her out. ¡°I-I am!¡± Thedy wiped away her tears in an urgency. She quickly contained her emotions. However, it would be impossible for her to hide away her emotions forever. ¡°Mengxin, the name was engraved on the jade pendant. Is that you? Are you Fang Mengxin?¡± Chen Hao questioned her directly. ¡°W-Who is Fang Mengxin? I don¡¯t know her! I¡¯ve never heard about her. You¡¯ve got the wrong person!¡± Thedy shook her head vigorously and continued, ¡°I am just a peasantdy. I¡¯ve lived here since I was little. You¡¯ve mistaken me for someone else!¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible that I would get the wrong person, because you look too simr to Ziyue. Both of you look entirely the same!¡± Chen Hao was feeling flustered deep down inside. In fact, the purpose of this grueling trip to Chengdu was to look for Fang Mengxin. However, Chen Hao knew that searching for Fang Mengxin under the current circumstances would be an uphill task. Up until now, forces from several sources had appeared along the process. Even the only lead he had now was in the possession of the Fang Family. Chen Hao was in a dilemma of what to do next. But now, ady who looked exactly like Su Ziyue appeared before him. Furthermore, thedy got very emotional at the sight of the jade pendant. s, there was no need for any further exnation. ¡°Did you say her name was Ziyue? Does she really look exactly like me?¡± thedy spoke with anxiousness. ¡°Yes, it was her who gave me this pendant. She has been so desperate to look for her mother that she even dreams about it. For all these years, she has been all alone and lived a destitute life. She was brought up in an orphanage,¡± said Chen Hao. Tears flowed down from thedy¡¯s eyes. Then, she copsed onto the chair feebly and cried at the same time. ¡°Are you still going to deny that you are Fang Mengxin? You¡¯re Fang Mengxin, aren''t you?¡± asked Chen Hao. Finally, thedy nodded her head with her hands covering her face. ¡°I am!¡± Thereafter, she got up to her feet suddenly and tugged at one of Chen Hao¡¯s arms. ¡°I am begging you, please allow me to meet with Ziyue. I don¡¯t care which side of forces you are from. I promise I will follow you wherever you want me to go, as long as you allow me to meet with Ziyue!¡± Fang Mengxin said in tears. Chen Hao felt like the weight on his shoulders had finally been lifted. Fang Mengxin was found. ¡°Aunt Fang, don¡¯t worry. I would definitely allow you to meet with Ziyue. This time, I¡¯ve brought her with me to Chengdu!¡± As a matter of fact, Chen Hao was overjoyed at the moment. He had aplished his mission. Most importantly, Su Ziyue¡¯s mother was found! ¡°Ziyue is here too? Where is she?¡± asked Fang Mengxin. ¡°She is at the vi where I am staying at, waiting for updates from me.¡± At the sight of Fang Mengxin, Chen Hao felt that there was a natural bond between the two of them. At that moment, he said, ¡°Aunt Fang, from what I¡¯ve gathered, you used to be known for your beauty. Did something happen to you back then?¡± Fang Mengxin stroked her cheek and asked, ¡°Are you referring to my face?¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°I did this to myself. You know very well that I have a lot of enemies out there. I had no other choice but to do this for better concealment of my identity. Therefore, I disfigured myself twenty years ago. Later on, I decided to reside in Clearwater Vige in Chengdu. Xia and I have been working in tandem for all Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. these years. Whenever anyone was looking for Xia, she would escape using this method. Hehe, no one would expect that a hideous peasantdy to actually be Fang Mengxin! I suppose you wouldn¡¯t be able to tell either if I hadn¡¯t seen the jade pendant falling from your pocket,¡± said Fang Mengxin. ¡°Indeed, I did not expect that!¡± ¡°In the beginning, I was hardly even able to contain my emotions at the sight of that girl who came together with you. Is her name Fang Jiannan? Is she my brother¡¯s daughter? She must be. When she was little, I used to carry her all the time. I almost let loose of my emotions when she was standing before me just now. It¡¯s all because I am so reluctant to see anyone from the Fang Family¡­ My emotions totally got out of my control when I saw the jade pendant which I¡¯ve left to my daughter. I have been missing her every single day. I really miss her so much! For several times in my life, I¡¯ve hated God for treating me so unfairly. But now, I realize that God has in fact been treating me very well. My daughter is still alive, and now, she ising for me!¡± Fang Mengxin said in tears. Chen Hao could understand such emotion better than anyone else. ¡°By the way, boy, what is your name? From what I¡¯ve heard from Fang Yi, your name is Chen Hao? Are you from the Chen Family in the Southern Region?¡± asked Fang Mengxin. ¡°I¡­¡± It was out of Chen Hao¡¯s expectation that Fang Mengxin was able to gather so much information from the event earlier. He hesitated and did not say a word. ¡°You must be. I know it¡¯s you who¡¯ve summoned all the helicopters. Is this the GPS tracker exclusively owned by your family? Which generation of the Chen Family are you from? Do you know someone named Chen Pingan?¡± Fang Mengxin fired away several questions at one go. Chen Hao could only cave in as it appeared that he would not be able to keep any secrets in front of her. And so, he said, ¡°I have no idea which generation of the Chen Family I am from. Also, I¡¯ve never heard of Chen Pingan. All I know is that someone from the Chen Family would really like to meet you. Aunt Fang, I would arrange for you to have a reunion with Ziyue. But after that, you would have to go somewhere with me. This is the only condition I have.¡± ¡°Hehe, since you¡¯re someone from the Chen Family, I understand what you¡¯re trying to do. Chen Hao, after meeting my daughter, I will go with you. All the bad blood between the two families arose because of my daughter and I. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s about time to put an end to all of this?¡± Fang Mengxin caressed Chen Hao¡¯s head as though she was caressing her own child. Thereafter, she added, ¡°But Chen Hao, I have a condition too. I have no idea about your rtionship with my niece, Jiannan, but you have to promise me that you would never reveal my identity to anyone, especially someone from the Fang Family. Would you be able to do that?¡± Chapter 386 The Reason for Being Raised in Frugality Chapter 386 The Reason for Being Raised in Frugality Chen Hao, of course, agreed. The Fang family were also looking for Aunt Fang now, and Chen Hao wasn¡¯t so stupid as to create more trouble for himself. Apart from that, Chen Hao felt an intense need to understand the rtionship between Aunt Fang and his own family. He also wanted to know¡ªhow exactly was he rted to Su Ziyue? When Fang Mengxin heard Chen Hao ask about it, she told him everything frankly. As it turned out, the Chen Pingan that Aunt Fang was talking about was the second young master of the Chen family. He was young, handsome, and he was also Su Ziyue¡¯s father. From a logical point of view, Chen Pingan was probably that uncle of his whom his father had mentioned when Chen Hao was younger. At that point in time, his father used to tell him how his uncle was always working outstation and barely returned. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he met Su Ziyue. It was because Su Ziyue was his cousin. The resentment between the Chen family and the Fang family, however, was not as simple as it seemed. What Aunt Fang meant was that the Chen Family had wanted something from the Fang family in the beginning, which led to the resentment between the two families over the years. sh back twenty years ago, the Chen family assigned Chen Pingan over to the Fang family as their undercover spy, so that he could get more friendly with the Fang family to get what they wanted. When Aunt Fang told this part of the story, she smiled sweetly. Back then, Aunt Fang was blessed with an unmatched beauty. She was also the CEO of an up-and- Chen Pingan spent a lot of effort in order to get closer to Fang Mengxin. First, he got into thepany¡¯s sales department. Then, using his immense capabilities and strengths, he eventually became the manager of the After two years, he became extremely familiar with Fang Mengxin. However, as handsome and capable Chen Pingan was those years, and despite the admiration Fang Mengxin started to grow for him over time, the extremely strict rules of the Fang family meant that Fang Mengxin would always get rid of any romantic feelings she had for Chen Pingan the moment she felt them arise. Until something happenedter on. One day, after the annual meeting of theirpany, Fang Mengxin drove home alone. On the way, she was met with an attack from her business rivals. Twenty or so people surrounded Fang Mengxin¡¯s car with the intention of kidnapping her. Luckily, Chen Pingan arrived in the nick of time. The man wasn¡¯t just brilliant, but he was also extremely skilled in fighting. In the end, Chen Pingan was heavily injured, but he still managed to defeat the assants and fetched Fang Mengxin away from the scene. This was a ssic case of Prince Charming saving the princess, only in real life this time. From then onward, Fang Mengxin had found a man she could entrust the rest of her life to. Later on, the two of them grew fond of each other and ended up in a rtionship. Because of that, Su Ziyue ended up being abandoned as a child; Fang Mengxin got kicked out of the Fang family; Chen Pingan disappeared; and the grudges between the Chen and the Fang family grew immensely. When Fang Mengxin found out she was pregnant, she had wanted to hide it at first. But how could one possibly hide something like a pregnancy? That day, the inevitable happened and the cat was out of the bag. Chen Pingan¡¯s identity was also revealed. The Old Master of the Fang family was enraged and sent the Fang family¡¯s underlings to kill Chen Pingan. In order to save Chen Pingan, Fang Mengxin didn''t hesitate to fight with the Old Master of the Fang family and leave the family on her own, bringing only her personal butler along. Chen Hao listened to Fang Mengxin¡¯s detailed ount. He didn¡¯t feel veryfortable listening as he felt like what he was doing right now was not very far from what Chen Pingan did back then. What a shame that Chen Pingan was a genuine person, who just happened to fall in love with the daughter of their family¡¯s rival. This solidified the fact that their rtionship would not be able tost. ¡°Then, what happened afterward? If it was really just because of the marriage between you and my¡ªI mean, the Chen family, then the resentment between our families would not be soplex, right?¡± Chen Hao asked curiously. Subconsciously, Chen Hao managed to stop himself from revealing that he was the Young Master of the Chen Family. ¡°If only it was just that simple. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t warrant Chen Jindong attacking the Fang family so relentlessly!¡± Fang Mengxin said. Chen Jindong. That was his father¡¯s name. Chen Hao¡¯s heart thudded to the bottom of his stomach, but he didn¡¯t speak up. Instead, he stayed quiet. ¡°That¡¯s because after that, something else happened. The Master of the Chen Family, Chen Jindong, grounded Chen Pingan. However, Chen Pingan missed me and our daughter too much. So one night, he told me he wanted to elope. At the time, Su Ziyue was already born, and the three of us were about to flee to a ce where no one could find us, and live happily ever after,¡± Fang Mengxin continued to speak. That night was the same night that Fang Mengxin and her personal butler, Xia, ran away to look for a guesthouse. Even though Fang Mengxin had supposedly been disowned by the Fang family, she was still under their scrutiny. That rainy night, Fang Mengxin carried her daughter and followed the path they agreed upon to meet with Chen Pingan. After all, they had to hide from the Fang family. Because they were leaving in a hurry, Fang Mengxin had used her precious jade pendant as insurance for the guesthouse room. The next day, the man who came to deliver money to them was actually a personal driver that Chen Pingan had sent. At first, everything had been safe and they were all about to meet in Qing City. However, on the way there, something happened. Something happened to Chen Pingan. And from then onward, there was no longer any news of him. The driver had confirmed that Chen Pingan had arrived at Qing City, but he wasn¡¯t able to be contacted. It was as if he had evaporated into thin air. Chen Jindong thought the Fang family had killed his younger brother, and so he started a series of revenge against the Fang family. The resentment between the two families kept rising, and they both plotted endlessly against each other. At the time, Fang Mengxin felt as though Chen Jindong could have taken Chen Pingan away on purpose, in order to rile up the Fang family. But after awhile, she got rid of that idea. Chen Jindong may have been sly and cunning, but he really loved his younger brother, Chen Pingan. Thus, he definitely would not have gone against Chen Pingan¡¯s wishes and forcefully targeted the Fang family. That could only mean that Chen Pingan was really in trouble. ¡°The two families were really pitted against each other. Even though the Chen family was extremely powerful, the Fang family was once no weaker than the Chen family. They might not have been the best, but they were still extremely strong whenpared to other families, and they still managed to fight against the Chen family. But, right then, my eldest brother and his wife died because of an ident. Chen Hao, you are from the Chen family. You must know how the younger Fang generations never leave their doorstep and are grounded from the day they are born, as well as how the younger Chen generations never do anything to give themselves fame and are raised in poverty from young. This was started because of the resentment between the two families. However, it intensified because of what happened between Chen Pingan and I.¡± Chen Hao nodded. Now, he finally understood some things. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. No wonder his father had reminded him to stay low-key, otherwise he would bring Chen Hao back to the family home. As it turned out, the Chen family also had enemies. Only that Chen Hao had no idea about how the resentment between the Chen family and the Fang family started. Fang Mengxin also didn¡¯t continue speaking. She only talked about how she didn¡¯t want to drag Su Ziyue around after that, forever unsure of whether they would have a roof over their heads or food to eat. That¡¯s why she asked Xia to find somewhere to settle down, while Fang Mengxin herself carried Su Ziyue to an orphanage in Jin Ling City and left her there. Only then did she return to Chengdu. ¡°Chen Hao, can you take me to see Ziyue now, please? I¡¯m begging you!¡± Clearly, Fang Mengxin still missed Su Ziyue dearly. Of course, Chen Hao agreed and nodded. ¡°Alright, Aunt Fang. Follow me!¡± Chapter 387 A Car Accident Chapter 387 A Car ident ¡°Hold on!¡± Fang Mengxin said suddenly. ¡°Chen Hao, I look terrible now. If I go looking like this, will I scare Ziyue? Besides, it¡¯s been so many years, and I''ve never had a ce in bringing her up. I even abandoned her! Do you think she would hate an ugly mother like me?¡± Fang Mengxin said in fear. ¡°She definitely won¡¯t see me, especially not a mother this harsh and ugly! This is just all too sudden. Will Ziyue be able to ept it?¡± Fang Mengxin said, stroking her own face. Chen Hao scratched his head. ¡°Well, if we tell Ziyue that you¡¯re her mother, she will definitely be very emotional about it. You don¡¯t understand how she is yet but she is a very kind person!¡± ¡°No, I don''t think I can deal with that. How about this? Chen Hao, can you appoint me as her maid? I know that being her maid might warrant her disgust for me, but I really just want to do something for Ziyue! I¡¯ll do anything, even if I must be her ve!¡± Fang Mengxin said. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll help you do that! I¡¯ll tell her the truth in the future when it¡¯s more convenient.¡± They could only do so much right now. By now, Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi had already left, leaving only Wang Xiaohua and the others waiting in the car outside. Chen Hao didn¡¯t let them go inside earlier, and they didn¡¯t dare to disobey. It wasn¡¯t convenient bringing Fang Mengxin along, so Chen Hao let Lin Shengnan bring Wang Xiaohua and the others away first. After that, Chen Hao arranged another car to bring himself and Fang Mengxin to his own mansion. ¡°Come on, Aunt Fang. This is it!¡± When they reached the door to the mansion, Chen Hao smiled bitterly when he saw how Fang Mengxin was hesitant to step forward. ¡°Alright!¡± They opened the door. ¡°Ziyue? Ziyue!¡± Chen Hao called out twice. They both saw that there was no one at home. He then realized that Su Ziyue had to be out buying things. ¡°She¡¯s not here. Aunt Fang, let¡¯s wait for a little longer!¡± Fang Mengxin nodded. ¡°Chen Hao, I would like to take a look at Ziyue¡¯s room. Is that alright?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll take you there!¡± Chen Hao opened the door to Su Ziyue¡¯s bedroom. However, he didn¡¯t step in. As for Fang Mengxin, she walked in with reddened eyes. The room was kept very neat and every corner was swept clean. Inside the closet, there were tidy rows of clothes that Su Ziyue frequently wore. Then, Fang Mengxin walked toward Su Ziyue¡¯s desk. On top of the desk was a frame. It was a picture of how Su Ziyue looked like now. When she saw this, Fang Mengxin could not control her tears any longer and they started to flow like water from a broken dam. In the picture, Su Ziyue looked nearly identical to Fang Mengxin¡¯s younger self. This is my daughter, my actual daughter! She looks exactly like how I used to! There was nothing that could make her happier than being able to reunite with her daughter right now. She finally felt like there were still some good things left in the world for her. She hugged the picture of Su Ziyue close to her chest and cried for quite awhile. Suddenly, Fang Mengxin nced at the desk and saw a notebook on it. When she opened it, she saw Su Ziyue¡¯s neat handwriting. This was her diary. All these years, Su Ziyue had kept a habit of writing in her diary everyday. Fang Mengxin flipped the diary to its first page, which had been written before Su Ziyue had met Chen Hao. ¡°Today, I became a kindergarten teacher. Seeing the children¡¯s happy faces everyday really makes me feel content. I haven''t had a mother ever since I was a child, so maybe being with these happy and fulfilled kids everyday will make me feel less lonely.¡± ¡°Today, I heard another teacher secretly talking to other people about me, saying how I grew up in an orphanage and had been abandoned by my parents since I was a kid. I pretended not to hear them, but I felt horrible. I really want to find my parents one day and ask them, why didn¡¯t they want me? Why couldn¡¯t they have given me a happy childhood?! Why?¡± "..." ¡°I worked at a restaurant today and identally made a mistake. I got scolded by the manager, but a young master came out to help me. I don¡¯t know why, but I felt like I have always known him.¡± ¡°I saw that young master again and he helped me today. In front of him, I felt a little nervous. He''s rich, after all, and I¡¯m just a poor brat. But he told me that he has been through simr things as I have. I still don¡¯t know why I feel so close to him, but it feels like as long as he¡¯s here with me, I will be safe from harm.¡± ¡°Recently, I miss him a lot. I really want to see him, and today, I did! I want to stay by his side, and take care of him and everything to do with him. But, I know he has a girl he loves. That girl is very pretty and very kind. I know that Chen Hao will never fall in love with me, but I would still do anything for him.¡± ¡°If I had a family, I would tell Chen Hao that I like him. However, I have nothing. I¡¯m just an orphan without a single rtive, so how would I ever experience love?¡± "..." Fang Mengxin flipped through the pages of the diary, and unknowingly, she had soaked every page of the diary with her tears. ¡°Thesest twenty or so years, I didn¡¯t know how much pain and trouble my daughter went through. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. She¡¯s just a child, but she¡¯s experienced every type of hardship there is out there!¡± Fang Mengxin cried as she held the diary. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡¯re back! I went out to buy some groceries earlier! I¡¯ll make dinner right now.¡± Right then, a clear female voice called out from outside. When she heard this female voice, Fang Mengxin was stunned. She immediately walked out of the bedroom. Right in front of her stood Su Ziyue. ¡°You are¡­ ?¡± when Su Ziyue saw Fang Mengxin walk out of her own room, she asked in befuddlement. ¡°I¡¯m¡­¡± Fang Mengxin¡¯s hands were trembling. ¡°Ziyue, this is Aunt Fang! From now on, she will stay with us and help with preparing meals. From today onward, you can go buy groceries with Aunt Fang and cook together!¡± Chen Hao said hurriedly. Fang Mengxin nodded. When Su Ziyue saw Aunt Fang¡¯s face covered in scars, she felt rather sympathetic toward her. Apart from that, when Su Ziyue saw Aunt Fang, she felt a strange sort of feeling, like a trace of familiarity and affection toward her. She then nodded. ¡°Hello, Aunt Fang, my name is Su Ziyue! From now on, we will be in charge of Chen Hao¡¯s meals and generally taking care of the house!¡± Actually, Chen Hao would never let Su Ziyue serve himself in any way. However, Su Ziyue wasn¡¯t the type who could sit around and do nothing. So after a while, Chen Hao didn¡¯t try to stop her anymore. Fang Mengxin was his aunt, and it wasn¡¯t like he could let her serve him either. But at the time, Chen Hao didn¡¯t say anything. After that, the two of them went to cook. Chen Hao felt instantly happy. Suddenly, Wang Xiaohua called him. ¡°Brother Chen, things are bad!¡± ¡°You¡¯re the only bad thing here. What happened?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Sh*t, you shouldn¡¯t have! You really shouldn¡¯t have asked ady to drive us. My god, we had a near brush with death!¡± Wang Xiaohua was so terrified that his voice was shaking as if he were crying. Er... Chen Hao felt helpless. To be fair, among the group earlier, Lin Shengnan was the only one who had a driving license. It wasn''t the right time to tell them about Aunt Fang then, so Chen Hao had let Lin Shengnan drive them back. ¡°Are you guys alright?¡± ¡°We¡¯re fine, we¡¯re fine! Except, we bumped into the rear of someone''s car, and now that woman is holding onto us and won''t let us leave! She said she wants to see the owner of this car!¡± Chapter 388 A Small World for Foes Chapter 388 A Small World for Foes ¡°Let me tell you, my car is also a Mercedes Benz and it¡¯s certainly more expensive than your business ss Mercedes. You won¡¯t get away with anything lower than 300,000 for this ident today!¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Plus, 300,000 is just the car repairing fee. Don¡¯t forget about thepensation for the damage to my mental health. Moreover, I need to rush to an event today. If I were to miss this event, do you know how much I would lose? It¡¯s more than 200,000!¡± This girl seemed young, looking almost the same age as Wang Xiaohua and the rest. Yet, she acted haughtily because she was rich and her speech rendered Wang Xiaohua and the others dumbfounded. ¡°It¡¯s just a small collision to the back of your car. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a bit unreasonable to ask for that much? Where could we even gather this much money for you?¡± Lin Shengnan rebutted anxiously. Indeed, 500,000 was not a small amount for them. It all happened because Lin Shengnan was slightly nervous when she was driving just now. So, as she was avoiding arge vehicle, she identally bumped into the rear of this expensive Mercedes. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that you need to pay for this. Didn¡¯t you mention that you are driving someone else¡¯s car? You don¡¯t have money, but the owner of this car must be wealthy. I¡¯ll wait for the owner. I''ll have you know, none of you can leave now!¡± said the girl. At this moment, the girl¡¯s friend walked toward them. ¡°Let it pass. We came to have fun after all. Just ask them for somepensation and it¡¯s good enough!¡± ¡°Let it pass? No way! I¡¯ve been upset for these two days, so I won¡¯t let it go so easily. Now that I¡¯ve met someone wealthy and stupid, I must make the most out of it!¡± the girl refused in a low voice. She then dialed her phone while walking to the roadside to make a call. ¡°Fatty, have you called him?¡± Lin Shengnan asked Wang Xiaohua. ¡°Yes I did. This ce is not far from his house, so he said he¡¯ll be here in a minute. Sigh, we were almost reaching the house anyway, what was there for you to be nervous about?¡± Wang Xiaohua reprimanded Lin Shengnan. ¡°I told you I didn¡¯t mean to, so why are you still scolding me?!¡± Lin Shengnan said with teary eyes. ¡°Idiot!¡± Wang Xiaohua sted thisst word and finally stopped talking. They were all crouching by the roadside while waiting. At this moment, the crowd of onlookers started to gather around. ¡°Oh no, this crash looks serious. Is this luxurious car new? I feel so sorry for that young girl!¡± A few men noticed that the victim was a female driver who looked gorgeous and yful, so they figured she was one of those wealthy women who loved to have fun. Therefore, some cheap ideas appeared in their mind, and they approached that girl to try their luck. At this moment, that girl finished her call. ¡°Exactly. This car is brand new. 300,000 for the car repairing fee plus 200,000 for the medical fee for my mental health is already considered quite a small amount. After all, this is a new car! Speaking of which, has the car owner arrived? Didn¡¯t you say that he stays near this area? It shouldn¡¯t take long for him toe here!¡± ¡°He¡¯ll be here any minute now!¡± Wang Xiaohua replied. Suddenly, an onlooker interrupted. ¡°Miss, could they be lying to you?¡± ¡°Huh? What do you mean?¡± the girl asked in bewilderment. ¡°This area is the residency of the wealthy in Chengdu. How should I say this? Those who stay here worth over 100 million to a billion. If it wasn''t for the scenic view of the park here, we won¡¯t even step foot into this area. Besides, the Mercedes that bumped into your car costs only around 400,000. None of the bosses that stay here would drive this kind of car,¡± the onlooker exined. ¡°Sounds about right. Am I being conned? Hmph! Let me ask you guys, which residency does your boss stay at?¡± the girl asked with a snort. ¡°Chengdu Auspicious Time Vi!¡± Wang Xiaohua answered. ¡°Hahaha! That¡¯s hrious! Oh god, this brat has the guts to lie about this. Auspicious Time Vi is the most expensive vi in Chengdu. One vi alone cost around 80 million. Those who live there will never drive a Mercedes!¡± ¡°I know. These brats must be trying to put the wind up you, Miss. After all, those who stay in Auspicious Time Vi are not to be messed with!¡± The few onlookers roared withughter. Apparently, the girl had also heard about the Auspicious Time Vi, so her anger snapped. ¡°Are you nuts? Let me warn you, with every minute of dy, you will have to pay more for the damage you''re causing to my mental state! Don¡¯t even think of scaring me. My boyfriend also knows someone from Auspicious Time Vi. With just a call, I will know who your boss is!¡± Wang Xiaohua was bottled up with rage. At this moment, Wang Xiaohua stood up excitedly and pointed to a direction. ¡°He¡¯s here!¡± At once, the girl and the onlookers turned to look in that direction. ¡°Are you lying? Which is your boss?¡± the girl asked. ¡°The one with the cap who is riding an electric three-wheeler!¡± Wang Xiaohua answered in a helpless tone. In his heart, he was perplexed as to why Chen Hao would ride a three-wheeler here. ¡°Are you kidding me? That is your boss? You must be lying to me!¡± The girl flew into a rage. Even the crowd of onlookers were convulsing withughter. On the other side, Chen Hao was riding an electric three-wheeler while looking in their direction. He saw a group of peopleughing hysterically and it was rather a lively scene. Sigh. He had no choice either. Chen Hao did not bring his car out and he would always arrange for drivers beforehand for every trip. But since this was a sudden event and the destination was not too far from the vi, he felt it was unnecessary to call the driver to fetch him for such a short trip. Coincidently, there was an old couple living in the vi next door and he was familiar with them. The old man of the couple was sent by his son from their hometown to look after this vi. Perhaps the old man was used to an electric three-wheeler, so his son bought him one specifically designed for senior citizens. Since Chen Hao had urgent matters, he borrowed the electric three-wheeler from the old man. To his surprise, riding an electric three-wheeler was quite a cool experience. At this moment, Chen Hao stopped the scooter abruptly at the spot of the ident and took off the peaked cap from his head. Meanwhile, the girl thought that she had finally met with a pushover, thus she was prepared to make the most out of it. However, when she saw Chen Hao¡¯s face, she was shocked. ¡°Oh my! Chen Hao? It¡¯s you!¡± ¡°Chen Hao?¡± the girl''s friend who was advising her earlier shouted in astonishment as well. ¡°Wang Wen, Hou Xiaoxia, it¡¯s you guys?¡± Chen Hao was taken aback as well. It''s so unexpected that Lin Shengnan crashed into Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s car! What a small world for foes! On the other hand, Hou Xiaoxia was ted. She thought inwardly, Finally, this is my chance. After seeing Chen Hao riding on an electric three- wheeler, she further confirmed her supposition from yesterday. ¡°Chen Hao, although we know each other, this luxurious car belongs to my boyfriend and it is expensive. If it¡¯s mine, I might let it pass because of you. Unfortunately, it¡¯s my boyfriend¡¯s car. So, I¡¯m sorry but you need to pay the full amount of 500,000 as I mentioned just now. It should not be a penny lesser!¡± ¡°Geez! Xiaoxia, what are you doing? Chen Hao is our ssmate!¡± Wang Wen hurriedly tried to convince her. ¡°I don¡¯t care! You have topensate since you crashed into my car! Besides, it¡¯s Chen Hao. Even President Guo had to drink a toast to him! Plus, Chen Hao¡¯s childhood friend works in an automobile right, Chen Hao?¡± Hou Xiaoxia continued to mock, ¡°Besides, they said that Chen Hao lives in Auspicious Time Vi. Do you know what that means?¡± Just when Chen Hao was helplessly looking at Hou Xiaoxia, who would not stop her taunts, his phone rang suddenly¡­ Chapter 389 There Is an Issue With Your Car Chapter 389 There Is an Issue With Your Car ¡°Young Master Chen, I am Guo Xilin!¡± Guo Xilin was the President Guo mentioned by Hou Xiaoxia earlier. Chen Hao had met him during the Cloud Mansion¡¯s Publicity Meeting at Hong County where he left him his contact number. ¡°President Guo, is there anything I can help?¡± Chen Hao asked amiably. ¡°There¡¯s indeed a favor to ask from you. We are hosting a banquet and the guests are wealthy businessmen from all around the world. Initially, we weren''t sure to invite you because we¡¯re just some businessmen and prominent figures from Jin Ling will be attending the banquet this time, and a few of the presidents mentioned that they work for you. Therefore, it¡¯s only fitting to ask if you have the time to honor us with your presence!¡± Guo Xilin replied. As a matter of fact, earning money and expanding businesses were of secondary importance to sessful people like Guo Xilin. For them, connections were the utmost important aspect. Managing and developing connections were far more advantageous than doing the same for a project. That was also the reason why wealthy businessmen enjoyed gatherings. To them, an opportunity as such might lead to meeting new leaders and building new connections, which in turn would represent a new opportunity to flourish one¡¯s business. Chen Hao had attended quite a number of these events in the past. It was actually hard for Chen Hao to decline President Guo¡¯s warm invitation, but he was certain he would not have the time to attend the banquet, looking at the present situation. Therefore, he regretfully turned down the invitation on the spot. After that, he hung up the call. Hou Xiaoxia was focusing all ears on Chen Hao¡¯s conversation. ¡°Who invited you for a meal? Which President Guo is that? Could it be President Guo fromst time?¡± Hou Xiaoxia asked with concern. After all, she did not wish for Chen Hao to get close with President Guo. ¡°Nobody!¡± Chen Hao then smiled bitterly and added, ¡°I¡¯ve inspected the damages on the rear of your car. Xiaoxia, don¡¯t you think 500,000 is a bit too much?¡± Although Chen Hao was wealthy, he was not a foolish person who could be easily conned for money. ¡°Too much? Bullsh*t! When the property damage adjuster of the car repair shop arrivester, you¡¯ll see for yourself. It might even cost more than that! Are you finding excuses because you can¡¯t pay up?¡± Hou Xiaoxia scoffed. She then crossed her arms and waited aloofly. Yesterday, she was still uneasy as she considered the possibility of Chen Hao bing wealthy after knowing President Guo. She was rather afraid it might happen, and this concern contributed to her gloomy mood today. Therefore, when Hou Xiaoxia saw Chen Hao riding an electric three-wheeler here and even tried to bargain for less than 500,000, she was relieved. Soon, the property damage adjusters arrived. The few of the adjusters took a while to inspect the car, followed by some discussion in lowered voices. Finally, they packed up their tools and stood up. ¡°How is it? How much does it cost to repair my car? I estimate that it will cost around a few hundred thousand,¡± Hou Xiaoxia asked the few adjusters with her arms crossed. ¡°Yes. For a full repair, we estimate conservatively to be around 450,000!¡± the staff replied. ¡°Damn! 450,000?¡± ¡°That is a huge amount!¡± Everyone gasped in astonishment. Even Hou Xiaoxia was startled by the high cost and dropped her jaw. Earlier, she had even asked for 300,000 based solely on her own experience. In fact, she was just a youngmoner who turned into someone prestigious because of her boyfriend. Therefore, it was only natural for herck of experience with luxurious cars. She even thought 200,000 would have been enough as the repairing fee. At once, she mockedcently, ¡°Chen Hao, did you hear that? The repair fee alone costs 450,000. Don¡¯t forget about thepensation for my mental health damage due to the dy caused. I¡¯ll leave the calction for you. Let me tell you, 500,000 is definitely not enough to settle this ident!¡± I offered you 500,000 earlier, but this amount is definitely insufficient now. You didn¡¯t appreciate my concession, so you shall weep in regret now! In such a situation, Chen Hao could only shrug his shoulders helplessly as there were no other alternatives. ¡°Alright. Thanks for your hard work. Please issue me a repair order and you may leave. Here you go, these are some tips for you!¡± while Hou Xiaoxia spoke, she scooped out a few hundred and offered it to the staff. However, the staff shook their heads. ¡°Miss, please allow us to finish our sentence. Putting the repair fee aside, what we need to tell you is that this car is not ours!¡± said the adjuster. ¡°Of course! This car is imported. My boyfriend¡¯s father asked someone to buy it on his behalf, so surely, it isn¡¯t your car!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood my meaning, Miss. I mean this car model is unavable in our headquarters and it¡¯s not up in the market. It isn¡¯t even avable for sale in the China market because the production halted after the first batch. However, some illegal parties from other countries started to produce imitations of this model and sold it recently. You should be clear since you purchased this car. Therefore, this is not our car!¡± the staff concluded. ¡°What? Do you mean this car is bought through smuggling? What nonsense are you babbling?¡± Hou Xiaoxia could not remain calm after listening to that. The staff felt helpless but took out some internal public notice and showed it to Hou Xiaoxia. It was apparent that this kind of imitation cars had been filed in record. ¡°Get it away from me! What bullsh*t is that? I only asked you to inspect the damages but you bring me trouble instead. I don¡¯t need your help now!¡± Upon reading that notice, Hou Xiaoxia was frightened and anxious. After all, this car belonged to her boyfriend, not her. Now that she had caused such a ruckus, she was, of course, feeling uneasy and guilty. ¡°Miss, we¡¯ve mentioned that this car is reported. Our staff will arrive soon to tow your car away, and we hope you will cooperate with us for the investigation. If you aren¡¯t the car owner, please inform the owner toe here!¡± At this moment, another staff member finished making a call. ¡°Oh god! What are you doing?¡± Hou Xiaoxia asked anxiously. Right now, she had lost her mood to ask Chen Hao for money. All she could think of was calling her boyfriend, Li Liang, in fear and anxiety. On the other hand, Chen Hao did not expect things would turn out this way. He could only stand aside and shook his head while giving a bitter smile. Wicked people would taste their own karma! While Hou Xiaoxia was making the call, she spotted the smile on Chen Hao, who was standing at the side. Out of anger, she took off her high heels and hurled it toward Chen Hao. Fortunately, Chen Hao dodged it. ¡°Bastard! What are youughing at? Let me tell you, you still have to pay me thepensation! Not even a single penny less! It¡¯s all your fault. I want 700,000 and you won¡¯t get away with this!¡± Hou Xiaoxia shouted frantically. ¡°Crazy!¡± Chen Hao shook his head helplessly. Now that this girl was caught in trouble, Chen Hao felt cruel to rub salt into the wound. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Mister, your car is from our shop. I¡¯ve called two tow trucks, so we¡¯ll be towing your car togetherter,¡± the staff informed. ¡°Alright!¡± Chen Hao nodded and agreed. After that, the staff went to deal with Hou Xiaoxia. Since there was nothing left to do, Chen Hao told Lin Shengnan and the others to go back. He would handle this matter himself. Meanwhile, Hou Xiaoxia might be reprimanded by her boyfriend, so she hid herself at a side, crying while talking on the phone. On the other hand, Wang Wen looked at Chen Hao, and Chen Hao looked back at her. Both of them exchanged an awkward smile. ¡°Wen, where were you going initially? I¡¯m so sorry that your matters are dyed. I can fetch you there if you want!¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Sure. We¡¯re going to a gathering which Xiaoxia asked me to apany her to!¡± Wang Wen replied. ¡°Hmph! If you have any problems, you can look for my boyfriend tomorrow. He will contact you the next day!¡± Hou Xiaoxia snorted. ¡°Yes, Miss!¡± At this moment, it seemed like Hou Xiaoxia and the staff were done with their negotiations. She then walked over to them. ¡°Wen, we¡¯re almostte. Let¡¯s go there now. Damn it! I was going to make an impressive appearance with that car!¡± Hou Xiaoxiained frustratedly before shooting Chen Hao a warning re. ¡°Xiaoxia, let¡¯s go now. You can¡¯t settle this matter now anyway. Besides, Chen Hao offered to send us there!¡± Wang Wen said. ¡°What? He wants to send us there? With this lousy electric three-wheeler? Wen, are you mad?!¡± Chapter 390 The Absence Of The VIP Guest Chapter 390 The Absence Of The VIP Guest ¡°Xiaoxia, please don¡¯t say that!¡± said Wang Wen. Even though she thought it was embarrassing to get on the scooter as well, since Chen Hao was unfazed by it, she felt there was no need to be embarrassed. As for Hou Xiaoxia, it was obvious that she couldn¡¯t stand the idea. ¡°I can¡¯t stand it. You can get on the scooter all you like, but I can¡¯t afford to put myself in this pathetic state. I will wait for you outside of the hotel. By the way, Chen Hao, there is no way that this ident is considered as settled!¡± With that, Hou Xiaoxia extended her hand to hail a taxi. She looked anxious as she rushed to the event. After all, she had to get to her boyfriend as soon as possible. ¡°I think it¡¯s best for you to just skip the event. It just so happens that my sister has already cooked a meal. Why don¡¯t you join me for a meal at my home? Just see it as I am treating you to a meal!¡± Chen Hao offered. After all, Chen Hao still saw Wang Wen as his old ssmate. ¡°I am afraid I can''t join you, Chen Hao. I think I should keep herpany. After all, now that she is having trouble, I am worried that she would suffer a disadvantage if she was left on her own.¡± As always, Wang Wen was very kind-hearted. When in fact, deep down inside, Wang Wen thought it was quite embarrassing to ride on an electric three-wheeler on the streets. Despite her kind personality, she was still fairly vain like all the other girls. However, she thought that it would hurt Chen Hao¡¯s pride if she turned him down. Therefore, she was caught in a quandary. Being at her wit¡¯s end, she said, ¡°Well, Chen Hao, you can just send me to the entrance of the hotel!¡± ¡°Very well! This scooter is not bad actually. It wouldn¡¯t take us long to reach there!¡± With that, he got onto the three-wheeler. Beep! Beep! He even pressed on the horn to invite Wang Wen to get on it. As Wang Wen tidied up a few strands of her hair, several onlookers were staring at her, making her entire face blushed out of embarrassment. In the end, she still got on Chen Hao¡¯s electric three-wheeler. ¡°Let¡¯s go now, I bet Xiaoxia is there already!¡± Wang Wen said in a soft voice with her head held low. At the sight of Wang Wen¡¯s flustered face, Chen Hao made noment. In Chen Hao¡¯s opinion, he never thought that driving a car was a more glorious thing to do than riding a tricycle or a bicycle. At that moment, he stepped on the elerator. They made their way toward the destination. The venue of the event was a grand hotel in Chengdu. At the moment, the interior of the hotel was decorated with long, red banners. Firecrackers were ced everywhere.N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Red carpet stretched on the corridors from the inner hall up all the way till the entrance of the hotel. Numerous celebrities and rich businessmen arrived and went into the hotel. All the staff of the event organizer were standing outside of the hotel to help with ushering the guests and taking photos. It appeared that they were nning to hold a mini ceremony beforehand at the courtyard of the hotel. Therefore, the courtyard was crowded with people. ¡°Wen, is this the ce?¡± asked Chen Hao. Several young rich men were smoking outside of the hotel. They were reluctant to make way for them at the entrance. Chen Hao then pressed on the horn continuously. Because of that, the group of young rich men averted their gazes in his direction. At the sight of Chen Hao riding on a scooter together with a girl, they started exchanging jokes among themselves. ¡°Well, Chen Hao, you may just let me off here!¡± Wang Wen was extremely embarrassed. She started to regret epting Chen Hao¡¯s offer. Wang Wen felt especially ufortable to be ced under the disdainful stares of her peers. ¡°Very well!¡± Chen Hao stepped on the brake and pulled up the scooter by the entrance of the hotel. As it so happened, Hou Xiaoxia was walking over to wee Wang Wen¡¯s arrival. Hou Xiaoxia was so shocked at the sight of Wang Wen riding on Chen Hao¡¯s scooter that her eyes almost popped out. ¡°Damn, Wen, have you lost your mind?! You actually let him send you here on the three-wheeler?¡± Hou Xiaoxia¡¯s face reddened. ¡°Xiaoxia, stop talking already. Chen Hao, why don¡¯t you go home first? I will treat you to a meal some other day!¡± Noticing that more and more people were looking in their direction, Wang Wen immediately said so. ¡°Okay then!¡± Chen Hao nodded his head in agreement. ¡°The convoy of cars belonging to President Lin are here already!¡± At that juncture, one of the security guards standing by the entrance was making an announcement toward the rich merchants in the courtyard. Many of the rich businessmen made their way out excitedly to wee the cars. ¡°Damn, why is there a scooter blocking the entrance! What are you doing here! Scram!¡± The security guard straightaway walked over to Chen Hao and gave him a shove. ¡°I can¡¯t stand it!¡± Hou Xiaoxia covered her own eyes with her hands. She was so embarrassed that she wished for a quick end to her own life. ¡°Please be more polite. Why are you pushing me? I am leaving now!¡± Chen Hao stepped on the elerator and left. After all the cars were pulled to a stop, several middle-aged rich merchants along with their sons and daughters alighted from the cars. Obviously, they were the most distinguished guests of the night. All the other rich merchants lined up to wee their arrival. They were eager to make small talk. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I¡¯m delighted to see all of you here attending this gathering. Unfortunately, we have failed to have a super VIP graced us with his presence here tonight. This is a considerable blemish for tonight¡¯s event!¡± Everyone was standing beside the red carpet, listening to the speech from the president of the organizer team. Hearing this, the guests started discussing among themselves. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°President Guo! Who¡¯s that VIP? ¡± The guests started to make spections. Hou Xiaoxia was leading Wang Wen into the courtyard of the hotel. At the moment, she was staring at President Guo standing onstage. For some unknown reason, a feeling of fright came over her. Somewhat nervous, she tugged at her boyfriend, Li Liang¡¯s arms and asked, ¡°Brother Liang, who is that VIP that President Guo would like to invite?¡± ¡°How would I know? Don¡¯t you see everyone is asking the same question too?¡± Li Liang was very irritated. After all, his father had found out about the mess created by Hou Xiaoxia. Feeling wronged, Hou Xiaoxia did not say a word back. In fact, she was very excited to attend such an event as she would have the chance to get acquainted with the rich and famous. However, she was feeling uneasy inside now. A short while ago, she saw Chen Hao receiving a call, and it was from someone named President Guo too. She had no idea whether it was the same President Guo, the organizer of tonight¡¯s event. After pondering over it, she brushed away the thought as it was an incredulous idea. Chen Hao was just some nobody. At most, he got to be President Guo¡¯s acquaintance because of his childhood friend. Without his childhood friend, he was literally nothing. With that thought, Hou Xiaoxia was finally at ease. ¡°Hehe, there¡¯s a lot to say about this VIP. Our distinguished guests, President Lin and his daughter from Jin Ling are on very good terms with this VIP!¡± President Guo said with augh. President Lin disyed a grin imbued with some pride. As for President Lin¡¯s daughter, her expression changed a little as she looked slightly excited and nervous. ¡°Hey, President Guo, please stop keeping us in suspense. Please just reveal the identity of the VIP!¡± Some of them were curious as to the identity of the VIP as the person had be a mystery under President Guo¡¯s depiction. ¡°How about I provide some clues for everyone? Surely then everyone would know who he is. He is the owner of the Cloud Mansion, the most extravagant mansion in Jin Ling City. Apart from that, he is the most influential tycoon in the entire Jiangnan Province as well as the president of the most powerful President Guo announced with enthusiasm. ¡°Ah!¡± With that, the guests became uproarious. ¡°Damn, I know it! Is he Young Master Chen from Jin Ling?¡± ¡°How¡¯s it even possible that Young Master Chen from Jin Ling woulde to Chengdu?¡± ¡°President Guo is a very capable man. However, is it even possible for him to be able to invite Young Master Chen from Jin Ling?¡± There was much talk among the guests after listening to President Guo. Obviously, the majority of the rich merchants thought that President Guo was bluffing. They reckoned that President Guo didn''t even have Young Master Chen¡¯s contact number. ¡°President Guo is just trying to make himself look good using the reputation of the Lin Family and Young Master Chen from Jin Ling!¡± At that moment, Li Liang was offering his brilliant analysis on the matter offstage. ¡°However, I¡¯ve heard some rumors that President Guo had received some projects from Young Master Chen from Jin Ling. Could it be possible that he really has ties with Young Master Chen?¡± Some of the rich young masters gathered around Li Liang to join the discussion. ¡°Xiaoxia, Wen, aren¡¯t you girls from Jin Ling? I''m sure you guys have a thorough understanding of Young Master Chen from Jin Ling, right?¡± In front of the outsiders, Li Liang did not show his irritation toward Hou Xiaoxia. Both Hou Xiaoxia and Wang Wen shook their heads and said, ¡°We just heard about how impressive he is from our ssmates. In Jin Ling, everyone knows his name. However, no one is able to get further information about him!¡± ¡°Wen, why don¡¯t you try asking our old ssmates. I dropped my phone onto the floor while I was rushing to the hotel earlier and it broke!¡± Since the rich young men were all interested to talk about Young Master Chen, it would be rather awkward if she was unable to provide any extra information, as someone from Jin Ling City. Wang Wen nodded her head. She went on to search for her phone. Suddenly, she realized something. ¡°Oh no, I¡¯ve left my bag on Chen Hao¡¯s scooter¡­¡± Chapter 391 You Are Young Master Chen Chapter 391 You Are Young Master Chen Wang Wen just recalled something. As she was feeling quite wretched earlier with all the people there in front of her, she had gotten off the scooter in a haste. Originally, her bag was ced beside her. However, she had forgotten to take it with her when she got off the scooter. ¡°Damn, why are you so careless? I bet you have arge amount of cash inside your bag, huh?¡± asked Hou Xiaoxia. ¡°Xiaoxia, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t mean it that way. I''m worried that Chen Hao might lose my bag somewhere when he''s not paying attention. My phone, identity card and bank cards are inside my bag!¡± said Wang Wen anxiously. ¡°Hey, hey, hey! You, why are you here again? You''re not supposed to park your vehicle here!¡± At the moment, amotion came from the entrance. Several security guards were blocking a young guy from entering the hotel. ¡°My friend forgot to take her bag, I have to pass it to her!¡± The young guy was none other than Chen Hao. ¡°Take a look at this ce, would you? Do you think anyone could just enter as they like? Scram!¡± Several security guards were jostling with Chen Hao. As Hou Xiaoxia and Wang Wen were standing close to the entrance, they caught sight of the scene. ¡°Hey, Wen, look at how embarrassing he is! Just take your bag from him quickly and ask him to leave,¡± said Hou Xiaoxia hastily. Several young rich men standing nearby were staring scornfully in the direction of the entrance. After all, everyone was fairly vain in front of his or her peers. Both Hou Xiaoxia and Wang Wen would be theughing stock of the event if everyone knew they were acquainted with Chen Hao. Wang Wen then made a dash toward Chen Hao and said, ¡°Chen Hao, I am here. You may pass me my bag.¡± Only then did Chen Hao hand over Wang Wen¡¯s bag to her. Deep down, Wang Wen had wanted to say something to Chen Hao to express her gratitude. However, it wasplicated. The same thing happened during her high school days. Back then, although she had a crush on Chen Hao, she didn¡¯t make any move on him because of her pride. And it was no different now as Wang Wen did not say anything to Chen Hao. After giving him a simple greeting, Wang Wen was ready to head back into the hotel. ¡°Chen Hao!!!¡± All of a sudden, a high-pitched female voice came from the stage. It turned out to be President Lin¡¯s daughter from Jin Ling City who shouted. Chen Hao thought the voice sounded familiar, and so, he immediately turned around to look at the stage. Unexpectedly, Lin Yiyi, her father and a few directors of his subsidiarypanies were standing onstage. ¡°Chen Hao, is that you? On my way here just now, I saw someone riding an electric three-wheeler looking very much like you. However, my father said it was impossible for you to be here. Little did I know, you were actually the rider!¡± That girl was Lin Yiyi. At that moment, she was speaking excitedly. This time around, all of the guests offstage were stupefied. No one would expect that the daughter from the Lin Family was that close to someone who was merely riding an electric three-wheeler! ¡°Who is that guy? It seems like Miss Lin is treating him quite different from the other guys!¡± ¡°Exactly. Damn! Could he be Miss Lin¡¯s ssmate?¡± Everyone started specting. At that moment, Hou Xiaoxia was having a shortness of breath. Does Lin Yiyi actually know Chen Hao? I wonder how he got to know so many people? ¡°Eh? Yiyi, President Lin, I see all of you are here.¡± Only then did Chen Hao avert his eyes to the stage. He was somewhat shocked at what he saw. Especially when he spotted Guo Xilin. Then, something dawned on Chen Hao. Earlier that day, Guo Xilin had given him a call, inviting him to attend a gathering. However, as he was dealing with Hou Xiaoxia at that time, he had turned down Guo Xilin¡¯s invitation. He didn¡¯t expect that Hou Xiaoxia and Wang Wen were going to attend the same gathering. ¡°Isn¡¯t that guy being too rude? Does he even know how to speak in a proper way? ¡°The way he addressed President Lin was way too rude. He''s probably too young to know how the real world works!¡± ¡°Exactly!¡± ¡°Xiaoxia, Wen, isn¡¯t that guy your ssmate?¡± At that moment, Li Liang shook his head and let out a forcedugh. ¡°Of course not. We don¡¯t know him at all!¡± Hou Xiaoxia shook her head in denial. As for Wang Wen, she held her head low and did not say a thing. ¡°Y-Young Master Chen! You actually came!¡± Guo Xilin got so agitated that even his lips were trembling. At first, he assumed that Chen Hao would not bother to attend the event as he probably looked down upon the average rich merchants who were going to be here. Hence, he thought that any attempt to please him would be in vain. However, as it turned out, Young Master Chen was actually here! ¡°Greetings to you, Young Master Chen!¡± As for President Lin and the rest of the directors, they took a step forward and bowed slightly. Silence! In the blink of an eye, total silence settled over the audience. Many of the guests had their mouth agape in shock at that moment. So many big shots were actually bowing to that guy who rode a three-wheeler. Besides, President Guo¡¯s voice had even turned shaky. As for Hou Xiaoxia, she began to hyperventte. Her mind went nk and her ears started ringing as though someone had just thrown firecrackers right next to her ears. Her mouth was so widely open that an egg could fit inside. ¡°What? They are addressing Chen Hao as Young Master Chen? How is that possible? How is that even possible?!¡± Wang Wen was deeply shaken too as she had no idea what was going on. ¡°Could he be the Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City?¡± After a brief silence, the crowd started to get rowdy again. Exchanging nces among themselves, all of the guests were shaken to the core. ¡°President Guo and President Lin, you guys are being too courteous. I had no idea you guys are having a function here!¡± Chen Hao appeared to be somewhat awkward. More importantly, the guests from both sides were staring at him with mixed expressions. Chen Hao became even more embarrassed under their gazes. Nheless, Chen Hao managed to walk graciously toward the hotel. As for Hou Xiaoxia, she was staring in a befuddlement at Chen Hao who was walking past herself on his way to the stage. ¡°Exactly, Young Master Chen!¡± President Guo cleared the center position onstage for Chen Hao in an instant. At the same time, he looked at the guests, who were all in a daze, and announced, ¡°Ladies and gentleman, this is Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City. He is Jin Ling''s tycoon and the owner of the Cloud Mansion!¡± Boom! The whole scene got tumultuous at once. ¡°Hahahahaha!¡± Suddenly, an untimely and frenziedughter of a girl was heard. Everyone turned to look at the girl at once. ¡°Xiaoxia, what are youughing at?¡± Li Liang, too, was taken aback by Hou Xiaoxia¡¯sughter. ¡°What am Iughing at? Haha, I amughing at how impressive Chen Hao is! He managed to deceive everyone! Everyone believes he is Young Master Chen! Isn¡¯t this incredulous?¡± Hou Xiaoxia stepped forward whileughing at the same time. Onstage, the rich merchants had their brows creased together, especially President Guo. He stared at Hou Xiaoxia with his brows deeply furrowed. ¡°What are you doing? Someone please get her out of here!¡± Guo Xilin eximed furiously. ¡°President Guo, please don¡¯t get the wrong idea. I don¡¯t mean to offend you. All I wish to do is to enlighten everyone so that no one would be deceived by that guy. In fact, I am his high school ssmate. I know everything about his background! Wang Wen, too, knows him! He is just a poor guy! He is so poor that he couldn¡¯t even afford his meals!¡± Hiss¡­ Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org. Everyone at the scene gasped after listening to her words. Could he be pretending to be Young Master Chen? Hou Xiaoxia started to gloat as she saw that everyone appeared to be convinced. Hmph! It seemed that she would be able to impress all those rich merchants with this. Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City? He is Chen Hao? That''s simply impossible! She then cast a disdainful look at Chen Hao and stated, ¡°Haha, Chen Hao, I bet you didn''t see this think that you could bluff President Guo and the rest of us!¡± It was clear that Hou Xiaoxia would never ept it as the truth. Looking at Hou Xiaoxia, Chen Hao shook his head and let out a forcedugh. ¡°Hehe,dy, it seems like you have misunderstood Young Master Chen¡­¡± Guo Xilin let out a bitterugh. ¡°He really is Young Master Chen, the President of the Dreamer Group in Jin Ling City!¡± Chapter 392 The Revenge of Long Shaoyun Chapter 392 The Revenge of Long Shaoyun Looking at the stern faces of President Guo and the others, Hou Xiaoxia could no longerugh. Could it actually be true? Everytime she thought about Chen Hao¡¯s pitiful look back then, she would be overwhelmed with resentment. She had always thought that he was just some nobody. However, she never expected such a drastic change would happen to Chen Hao after just a few years¡¯ time. And now, these rich merchants were acting so respectful and submissive before him. How is that even possible? Meanwhile, Chen Hao ignored Hou Xiaoxia and interacted with President Guo and the other directors instead. By that time, everyone had entered the hotel. After staying for just over half an hour there, Chen Hao needed to rush back home. Therefore, he bid farewell to President Guo and the rest. On the way out of the hotel, arge crowd followed along to see him off outside. Lin Yiyi whispered something to her father before acting cute by sticking out her tongue. Obviously, she wanted to follow Chen Hao back to his ce. Naturally, her father granted her request. Looking nervous, Hou Xiaoxia walked out of the hotel together with Wang Wen. At that moment, Chen Hao had got onto his electric three-wheeler. Lin Yiyi was sitting beside him. As weird as it sounded, Wang Wen no longer thought that riding a three-wheeler was something so embarrassing as before. Even a beautiful richdy such as Lin Yiyi was looking excited to be on the three-wheeler. Let alone someone like myself! Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Wang Wen was shocked to know that Chen Hao was actually Young Master Chen. Even up until now, she had been in a dream-like state. As for Hou Xiaoxia, she was feeling so apprehensive that she started to break into sobs. She then took another look at Chen Hao. He was still wearing the same attire, having the same face and demeanour. Just a short while ago, he still had the appearance of a loser. Why do I feel a sense of respect and awe when I''m looking at Chen Hao now? Why am I feeling like that? Chen Hao was going to bring Lin Yiyi back to his ce to have a meal. Currently, he was in a rather good mood. After all, he did not make a trip to Chengdu in vain. Besides having aplished the mission assigned to him, he managed to locate Su Ziyue¡¯s birth mother as well as found his cousin along the way. It was indeed a fruitful trip. However, while some were in a joyful state; some were in distress. Smash! It was the sound of a teacup smashing onto the floor. ¡°Good-for-nothing! All of you are worthless! How could you guys mess up such a simple task?!¡± In the vi, Situ Yang was yelling furiously at some foreign underlings. Long Shaoyun was standing at a corner with a bleak expression. After all, he had made his men sound too impressive beforehand. In the end, they could not even manage to capture a few students. On the outside, it looked as though Situ Yang was yelling angrily at the group of men. In fact, Situ Yang was reproaching him indirectly. Long Shaoyun was feeling indignant deep down inside. ¡°Young Master Yang, Young Master Long, we were surrounded by a troop at that time! We were afraid that we might have triggered the attention of the army!¡± The leader of the group of men continued, ¡°Please give us another chance! Young Master Yang, if you provide Fang Jiannan¡¯s location to us now, we would definitely bring her here!¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote! Do you think it''s that easy to do things to the Fang Family? My father and I need to get hold of every movement and action made by the Fang Family during this sensitive period. Otherwise, I would not go through the risks of trying to kidnap Fang Jiannan. Moreover, we have already rmed our enemies. I can only hope that the Fang Family will not ce their suspicion on us!¡± Situ Yang was very anxious. He was deeply worried about the potential adverse consequences from the failed attempt of kidnapping Fang Jiannan. If his family were to be affected by this, it would be a loss one would not be able topensate. At the sight of his dejected men, Long Shaoyun said, ¡°By the way, there was no way that the helicopters could have reached the site so quickly, let alone triggering the army¡¯s attention. Now, tell me everything about what happened in detail!¡± His men then borated on the situation from that day. ¡°Eh? Could it be him?¡± After listening to their ount, Long Shaoyun¡¯s brows creased together. Situ Yang asked, ¡°Who is it?¡± Long Shaoyun added, ¡°You guys took some photos, right? Let me see who was in that group of people!¡± His men immediately disyed the photos on a screen. ¡°I knew it. It¡¯s really him! Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City, Chen Hao!¡± Long Shaoyun saw Chen Hao in the photos. Right then, he mmed on the table angrily. Back then during his birthday celebration, he was badly humiliated by Chen Hao. Moreover, he was grounded for a period of time after going back home. His hard-earned reputation was destroyed all at once. Hence, Long Shaoyun hated Chen Hao to the core. ¡°Is he the Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City?¡± Obviously, Situ Yang had heard about him too. Long Shaoyun then told him about the feud between him and Chen Hao. ¡°Hehe! No wonder Fang Jiannan faces no problem in everything she does. It seems like she has been receiving help from Chen Hao, Young Master Chen. Now, it makes sense as to why Fang Jiannan pays no regards to you even though you have tried to get close to her several times before!¡± said Long Shaoyun. Listening to his words, Situ Yang took a deep breath. ¡°Anyone who dares to be my enemy would not be able to leave Chengdu unscathed! I need someone in here!¡± In a fury, Situ Yang was ready to summon his men. ¡°Brother Yang, don¡¯t be reckless!¡± Long Shaoyun grabbed hold of Situ Yang¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ve dealt with Chen Hao before. He has far-reaching influences and the extent of his power is beyond our imagination. You would only bring trouble upon yourself if you do anything reckless! After all, I believe you¡¯ve heard about the incident that happened years ago whereby our Long Family was forced out of Jin Ling City by Chen Hao¡¯s sister.¡± Long Shaoyun quickly offered his advice. After all, it wouldplicate matters if they were to deal with Chen Hao directly. Situ Yang, too, could see the rationale behind it. Previously, at the thought of Fang Jiannan ignoring him and even pping him because of Chen Hao, he was consumed with jealousy. He was able to think things through clearly now after he calmed down. ¡°Well, Shaoyun, do you have any solution? Should we allow him to flourish in Chengdu?¡± Long Shaoyun put on an eerie grin and said, ¡°Of course not! On the contrary, I would want him to stay in Chengdu forever, so that I could take my revenge on him for humiliating me. I would execute the n myself. By the way, Young Master Yang, I hope you would lend me your men as I would need them to investigate Chen Hao¡¯spanions during this trip of his.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Their conversationsted until the wee hours of the night. Three dayster. ¡°Brother Chen Hao, I am going out to buy some groceries together with Aunt Fang. What would you like to eat? We will buy them for you!¡± ¡°I am fine with anything. Anything you and Aunt Fang make would be my favorite!¡± looking at Su Ziyue and Aunt Fang, Chen Hao said with a smile. Within only three days'' time, Su Ziyue had be very close to Aunt Fang. As mentioned by Chen Hao, Su Ziyue did not mind her disfigured face at all. As for Fang Mengxin, she was in a blissful and contented state having her obedient and sensible daughter by her side every day. Meanwhile, Su Ziyue felt a natural sense of security and intimacy whenever she was with Aunt Fang. She felt as though Aunt Fang was just like her family. Hand in hand, they reached a shopping mall. Aunt Fang caught sight of a stall selling sugar-coated haws at a corner of the mall. From time to time, Su Ziyue¡¯s gaze would wander briefly in the direction of the stall. Thereafter, she would continue walking straight. A bitter feeling grew within Aunt Fang¡¯s heart. ording to one of Su Ziyue¡¯s log in her diary, she would have to continue her destitute life if she had not bumped into Chen Hao. In her entire life, having sugar-coated haws was considered a luxury. ¡°Ziyue, please wait a minute. I¡¯ll be right back!¡± With that, Aunt Fang walked off somewhere. Su Ziyue thought, How peculiar, what is Aunt Fang up to now? She then waited at the spot. All of a sudden, Su Ziyue heard a roaring sound of an engine. Turning her head toward the sound, she saw that a van was charging toward her at high speed. ¡°Ah!¡± The passersby screamed at once... Chapter 393 A Dark And Stormy Night Chapter 393 A Dark And Stormy Night Following that, several guys jumped down from the van. Immediately, they forcefully grabbed onto Su Ziyue and tried to drag her into the van. ¡°Ziyue! Ziyue!¡± Aunt Fang was standing on the other side. Earlier, she was already on high alert when she caught sight of the van surging toward Su Ziyue. She frantically made a dash toward Su Ziyue. At the same time, Su Ziyue was struggling to escape. In a moment of desperation, she gave someone¡¯s arm a nasty bite. ¡°Ah!¡± The guy with his face covered by a mask screamed in pain. Violently, he pushed Su Ziyue away. Under the harsh force of his shove, Su Ziyue fell hard to the ground. The back of her head hit a curb by the roadside. She was rendered unconscious right away from the impact. Fang Mengxin rushed over to the spot. At the sight of the men who were trying to carry an unconscious Su Ziyue away, Fang Mengxin decided to fight them with her life. But at the end of the day, Fang Mengxin was merely a woman. Clearly, she was no match for them. Just when Fang Mengxin was feeling hopeless, a figure suddenly emerged. Thereafter, she saw the leader of the men tremble all over while rooted to the ground. A young man with a stoic expression ran toward them at the speed of lightning. Some of the masked men looked like they were prepared to fight the young guy. However, they quickly realize that they were no match to him. ¡°Leave! Leave now!¡± one of the men started shouting. Fang Mengxin was getting anxious. Mustering all of the strength in her, she lunged toward the guy who was sitting shotgun in the van and forcefully tore away his mask. The guy was caught off guard and immediately covered his face with his hands. Cursing furiously at the same time, he drove the van away. The young guy had wanted to go after them, but he decided to let them go when he noticed that Su Ziyue¡¯s injuries were severe. ¡°Thank you! Thank you so much!¡± Holding Su Ziyue in her arms, Fang Mengxin expressed her gratitude toward the young guy. ¡°Aunt Fang, you don¡¯t have to thank me. What I did was within my responsibility. I am the bodyguard assigned by Young Master Chen to secretly offer protection to Miss Su Ziyue. However, I didn¡¯t expect someone wouldunch an attack in broad daylight!¡± the young guy said with his face looking somewhat remorseful. Su Ziyue was already unconscious and her face was pale. The siren of the ambnce could be heard from afar. The young guy was none other than Di Hu. The two brothers, Tian Long and Di Hu were specifically assigned to take care of Chen Hao¡¯s safety. Beforeing to Chengdu, Chen Hao thought that having Tian Long by his side was more than enough and that it was unnecessary to keep both of them with him. Therefore, he had instructed Di Hu to offer secret protection to Si Ziyue a long time ago. After all, abductions had happened to people close to Chen Hao before, thus he couldn¡¯t help being vignt. However, what could possibly happen to Su Ziyue? Therefore, Di Hu was usually quite free. Out of his expectations, he noticed that Su Ziyue was being targeted by a group of men through the monitoring device earlier today. Although he had tried his best to rush over to the spot, he was a second toote. Chen Hao had gotten to know about the incident at the earliest possible time. Immediately, he rushed to the hospital. ¡°Has anyone found out who did it?¡± Seeing how Su Ziyue was still in a deepa, the entire body of Chen Hao trembled with fury. As for Fang Mengxin, her eyes were on the verge of running out of tears from her relentless sobbing. ¡°I¡¯ve contacted President Zhu to have him handle the investigation of the matter. That group of men were not local. So, nothing much could be dug up on them. However, Young Master Chen, I bet you''d be interested in one of them,¡± said Tian Long, who had also made his way to the hospital. After that, he showed Chen Hao the photo capturing the moment when Fang Mengxin was tearing away the mask of the guy sitting shotgun in the van. Chen Hao¡¯s eyes twitched slightly at the sight of the guy. ¡°Long Shaoyun? Why was he there?¡± Chen Hao asked in a shocked voice. Although the photo was somewhat blurry, Chen Hao waspletely sure that the guy was Long Shaoyun. After all, he nearly died because of him. ¡°You''re right, it¡¯s him! After doing some investigation, we got to know that he arrived in Chengdu several days ago. Young Master Chen, I understand that two of you had a feud with each other back then. However, I still don''t understand the reason as to why he woulde all the way to Chengdu to seek revenge against you.¡± Bang! Chen Haonded a heavy blow to the wall with his fists. ¡°I don¡¯t care who he is and what he is trying to do. But what has Ziyue done to deserve this? She nearly lost her life because of me! Tian Long, Di Hu, I reckon Long Shaoyun is still here in Chengdu. Both of you, together with Zhu Ming, you guys must capture him! I don¡¯t care about the means you''re going to use, I would not allow him to leave Chengdu without suffering any consequences!¡± Chen Hao yelled in rage as he was standing by the door, staring at Su Ziyue who was still lying unconscious in the ward. ¡°Yes! Young Master Chen!¡± Tian Long and Di Hu immediately left to execute his instructions. At the same time, there was a vi in a rather secluded area. ¡°Quick! Pack up all the things! We will depart in two groups!¡± ¡°Ah? Young Master Long, why are we leaving so urgently? Don¡¯t we need to inform Situ Yang that we¡¯re leaving?¡± asked Long Shaoyun¡¯s personal driver. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? If we dy any more time, we would not be able to leave at all! Now, arrange for that group to depart first!¡± Long Shaoyun said in an anxious tone. He had concocted the kidnapping n today with Situ Yang three days ago. Su Ziyue was the only one constantly around Chen Hao. Moreover, they had a close rtionship. Therefore, Long Shaoyun intended to kidnap Su Ziyue and use her as bait to trick Chen Hao into his trap. Then, he would kill him. He was even prepared to let his staff perish together with Chen Hao. After all, he was only the mastermind behind the entire n. So, he was not afraid of anything. However, it was apletely different case now. If Chen Hao were to investigate around, he would soon find out that he was the culprit. Surely by then, Chen Hao would send his men out to kill him. In the beginning, he had nned to assassinate Chen Hao indirectly through Situ Yang. His n had seemed airtight at first. However, he had clearly underestimated the current extent of Chen Hao¡¯s security force. Feeling on edge, Long Shaoyun hurriedly packed up his belongings. ¡°Young Master Long, I¡¯ve made all the arrangements. ording to your instructions, I¡¯ve rented a jeep. After giving a rough estimation, it would be around nightfall by the time we left Chengdu!¡± ¡°Very well, we shall set off as soon as possible! Also, arrange some men to stand by in Qing City for our arrival!¡± With that, Long Shaoyun lifted his suitcase, put on his shades and left in a haste. Something peculiar happened during the day in the city center of Chengdu. Various models of luxurious cars were speeding away on the roads. There were at least five hundred luxury cars forming the convoy. The cars could be seen taking different routes and heading in different directions. ¡°Damn, what¡¯s happening?¡± ¡°What a sensational sight!¡± ¡°Did anything bad happen?¡± ¡°Nothing was reported on the news. What kind of person could own such a convoy?¡± Many were shocked to see the spectacle. There were a lot of people at the outskirts of the city of Chengdu. Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! At that moment, a thundering roar could be hearding from the sky. All the passersby lifted up their heads to take a look at the source of the noise. ¡°Damn, why are there so many helicopters?¡± ¡±Oh my God, what¡¯s going on?¡± The passersby were all snapping photos of the scene before them. Their mouths were agape in shock. It was because there were over a hundred helicopters taking off and flying in various directions. Over a hundred helicopters took off at the same time. It was not hard to picture how spectacr the sight was at that moment. A search was done both in the skies and onnd thatsted for a whole day. Finally, the target was detected. Currently, the target had fled to the linkway between Chengdu and Qing City. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. It waste at night. The evening breeze blew through the window of Long Shaoyun¡¯s car, the noise it made sounded like the howl of the dead... Chapter 394 Another Mishap Chapter 394 Another Mishap ¡°Where are we at now?¡± Long Shaoyun asked the driver with an ashen face. ¡°Young Master Long, I¡¯m not sure where we are either. We did not dare to take the main road as Chen Hao¡¯s men were all over the ce. I think we¡¯ve been discovered by them! Judging from the surroundings, it seems like we¡¯re in the wilderness!¡± The driver was also trembling in fear. Although they had fled in time, they did not expect that they would be caught up by Chen Hao¡¯s convoy of search teams on the linkway of Chengdu and Qing City. With the disguise of the night and the driver''s expertise, they managed to avoid the pursuit. However, they got lost along the way. ¡°Idiot! What did I hire you for?! Idiot!!!¡± Long Shaoyun bellowed frically. They were far from the city and it was dark and spooky here, setting the atmosphere to their deepest fears. Suddenly, the roars of engines cut through the night''s chilly breeze and echoed into their ears. Then, they saw flickers of headlights from behind. A fleet of cars started catching up to them. From another direction, there were cars driving toward them as well. ¡°Go! Drive faster!¡± Long Shaoyun shouted desperately. At once, he scooped out his phone hurriedly and called his mother. ¡°Shaoyun, are you driving now? Tomorrow is my birthday, so remember toe back on time!¡± ¡°Mom! Save me! Save me, quick! I am being chased by someone in Qing City!¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Son, what did you say? Is the signal weak there? Why can¡¯t I hear you clearly?¡± asked the woman on the other side of the call. ¡°Mom! Can you hear me? Save me now! Save me!!¡± ¡°Hello?!¡± After a few shouts, Long Shaoyun could not hear a sound from the other end anymore. He then checked his phone and realized the phone¡¯s signal had been blocked. ¡°Young Master Long, I think it¡¯s best to stop the car now. It¡¯s pitch dark in front and we aren¡¯t familiar with the road!¡± The driver was terrified. They could not escape even if they tried now. ¡°Stop my *ss! If Chen Hao were to catch me this time, I will definitely be dead! Continue forward! We need to outrun them until the end of this stretch and reunite with our people as soon as possible!¡± With this order, the driver stepped on the elerator with all his might. Vroom! Suddenly, there was a shudder from the car, followed by vigorous jolts. Just when Long Shaoyun finally came back to his senses, the car started to fall rapidly. ¡°Ah!!!¡± Screams of horror escaped from the driver and Long Shaoyun¡¯s throats. However, their screams became faint as they continued to fall. Then, there was a deafening boom sound followed by an explosion at the bottom. Very soon, the sounds were engulfed by a dominant silence. At this moment, the convoy arrived. Under the brightness of the headlights, the scene in front of everyone was finally revealed clearly¡ªit was a cliff! ¡­ It waste night at the Long Family''s residence in Yan Jing. ¡°Dear, I feel strange and unsettled. Just now, Shaoyun called me and he sounded anxious, as if he was frightened by something. Do you think he¡¯s fine in Chengdu?¡± a beautiful woman asked. ¡°What problems could there be? The Situ Family is in Chengdu, so there¡¯s nothing to worry about!¡± a stern-looking middle-aged man replied. ¡°I tried calling Shaoyun''s phone but I couldn''t get through. You know very well that Shaoyun offended quite a number of people in these two years!¡± The beautiful woman continued to express her concerns. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll give a call to the Situ Family. Even if Shaoyun offended many people, we''re the only ones with enough power to attack others. Who would dare to pick fights with us? Hmph! Although the siblings from the Chen Family are now puffed up with arrogance, I will make them pay the price with their blood someday!¡± After snorting contemptuously, the middle-aged man picked up the phone and called the Situ Family. Listening to the words from the other side, the middle-aged man¡¯s face gradually turned pale. ¡°What? Thank you for informing, Situ. I¡¯ll send someone there immediately!¡± With a deathly pale face, the middle-aged man stood up anxiously and said, ¡°I got news from the Situ Family saying that Shaoyun went missing in Chengdu!¡± ¡°Huh? What should we do?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send my people to Chengdu now and ask Long Kun to lead them there!¡± The middle-aged man was panic-stricken now. ¡°But Long Kun¡­¡± ¡°Long Yue and I can¡¯t make it there, but we need someone from our family to handle this matter, so Long Kun is the most suitable person to head there now. I¡¯ll let Uncle Xiong go with him!¡± the middle- aged man instructed. Only then did the woman nod her head solemnly. At the scene on the cliff. Chen Hao had arrived in a helicopter. The cliff was unimaginably deep. ording to the reports from his subordinate, they could not even find aplete piece of the car, let alone the people in it. Chen Hao smiled bitterly. s, one could avoid natural disasters but never the karma we brought onto ourselves. Suddenly, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. Upon checking his phone, it was from Di Hu. Of course, someone was required to stay back and take care of Su Ziyue, and the person was Di Hu. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Young Master Chen, Miss Su has awakened. The doctor said she had only a mild concussion, and that she''ll be fine, but¡­¡± Di Hu¡¯s voice faded at the end of his sentence. ¡°And what?¡± Chen Hao inquired. ¡°Young Master Chen, I¡¯m truly sorry. I¡¯ve been guarding next to Miss Su all this time, but just now, four doctors, who were behaving strangely, came into the ward. I felt suspicious and did not allow them to unfortunately, Miss Su was taken away!¡± Di Hu finally got his words out. ¡°What? Even you got hurt?¡± Sweat seeped out from Chen Hao¡¯s forehead. ¡°We¡¯ll discuss this when I reach the hospital. Send people to search for her first!¡± If anything happens to Ziyue again, I wouldn''t be able to live with myself. At the same time, Chen Hao came to realize that the task his father had assigned to him to search for Aunt Fang was moreplicated than he expected. Without any dy, he rushed back to the hospital. ¡°Fortunately, Aunt Fang went out to get some porridge, so she avoided the attack. This group of people had odd appearances, and they used short daggers as their weapons. It seemed as if they had undergone strictbat training!¡± At the hospital, Di Hu exined the ins and outs of the incident with a toneden with guilt. There were also bandages all over his body, causing Tian Long¡¯s expression to turn gloomy and solemn. ¡°Have you checked the surveince footage of the hospital?¡± Chen Hao asked as he paced back and forth. ¡°I¡¯ve obtained it and inspected the vehicle records of a few streets, but they vanished in the mountain area!¡± Di Hu replied. Chen Hao patted on Di Hu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°My sister once told me that it¡¯s rare to find an opponent that could be on par with the both of you. Thus, it seems like these men could only belong to a powerful family. Di Hu, can you recall their movements to identify which group they belonged to? Perhaps with that, we could trace it to the family theye from.¡± ¡°Chen Hao, you don¡¯t need to investigate. I know the four people who brought away Ziyue!¡± At this moment, Aunt Fang stood up and interrupted with tears in her eyes. Only then did Chen Hao realize who those four were. Indeed. In Chengdu, it could only be the Fang Family. Chen Hao had never exposed himself and he had yet to fight against the Fang Family. Besides, the Fang Family wasying low all this while. Therefore, Chen Hao had never suspected them in this matter. However, the Fang Family seemed to be the most possible suspect now. ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, those four must be my father''s personal bodyguards! Which means that my father has found me!¡± Fang Mengxin said. Chapter 395 The Grand Meeting of the Fang Family Chapter 395 The Grand Meeting of the Fang Family As the most promising daughter of the Old Master of the Fang Family, as well as someone who once held an even more important position than Fang Jiannan¡¯s father in the household, one could imagine Fang Mengxin¡¯s level of intelligence. Therefore, with her sensibility and shrewdness, she was certain that her father¡¯s people were responsible for this incident although she was unsure as to how her father had found her location. ¡°Chen Hao, I understand the people from the Fang Family well and the internal factions are I do not trust the other members of the Fang Family. I¡¯ve been mad at my father for years. Although he regretted his actions, his temper did not change one bit. This could be him trying to make me apologize to him in person,¡± said Fang Mengxin as she smiled bitterly. ¡°Aunt Fang, what is our next step then? Ziyue is in their hands now and I can''t feel at ease!¡± Chen Hao shook his head. After all, Su Ziyue was considered part of the Chen Family since she was his cousin sister. Besides, he was the one who brought Ziyue here. Now that she had met with a series of mishaps because of him, how could he turn a blind eye to this matter? ¡°Young Master Chen, I think we can break into the Fang Family''s residence and rescue Miss Ziyue!¡± Tian Long and Di Hu suggested simultaneously. ¡°No way, Tian Long and Di Hu. I know that you guys are skilled, but pardon me for being frank, you can¡¯t win against my father¡¯s four subordinates¡ªThe Four Ghosts of Xiangxi. Besides, the Fang Family was once as powerful as the Chen Family. With just the few of us, we won''t be able to break in so easily!¡± Fang Mengxin turned down their suggestion, causing Tian Long and Di Hu to lower their heads in disappointment. ¡°Then are we just going to leave Miss Ziyue without doing anything?¡± Di Hu asked remorsefully. ¡°Of course not. There are still ways to rescue Ziyue. In three days, it will be my father¡¯s birthday. Based on the previous years, there should be a grand meeting of the Fang Family on that day. Many wealthy businessmen under the Fang Family''s influences as well as their friends will be attending the meeting. Therefore, we could use this opportunity to rescue Ziyue!¡± Fang Mengxin exined. ¡°Aunt Fang, are you saying that we should sneak into the Fang Family¡¯s grand meeting that day, distract them by causing a disturbance, and rescue Ziyue out?¡± Chen Hao caught onto Fang Mengxin¡¯s intentions. ¡°Correct. Each year during the Fang Family¡¯s grand meeting, they would need masses of staff to do the jobs. In order to remain low-profile, they would mostly hire foreign chefs, workers and such. Hence, this would be a chance for us!¡± Chen Hao nodded. He understood Aunt Fang¡¯s ns clearly. On that day, he would bring Tian Long, Di Hu and other skilled men to sneak into the meeting. Then, Zhu Ming would send his people to coordinate with them from the outside. Chen Hao might not have the ability tounch an attack on the Fang Family now, but it certainly would not take much out of him to stir up some trouble at an event. By then, he could bring Ziyue out without leaving a trace. ¡°Aunt Fang, how will we sneak into the troop of these foreign workers?¡± Tian Long asked. ¡°The process of screening these foreign workers is extremely strict. They will gather at Qing City, so we must set off to Qing City as soon as possible. By that time, I will have a way to get you guys inside. After all, I have my own confidants in the Fang Family, so I will ask them to find out the exact location of Ziyue!¡± Fang Mengxin exined the n. Deep down, she was panicking and could not stop worrying about Ziyue¡¯s condition because she knew the Fang Family was a bottomless pit. Once fallen into it, one would not be able to escape from it easily. Due to this reason, Fang Mengxin was greatly agitated. However, her mind was still clear and sound due to the experience she gained over the years. Meanwhile, in a secret chamber at the Fang Manor. ¡°Old Master, Miss Ziyue is reluctant to see the doctor and refuses to eat. We can''t seem to convince N?velDrama.Org is the owner. her no matter how many times we tried!¡± a few doctors came in and reported reverently to the Old Master of the Fang Family. Fang Butong would be turning seventy this year. Upon hearing the doctors report, a tinge of anxiety appeared on his wrinkly face. ¡°Ziyue, this silly little girl. She is just as stubborn as her mother. Oh right, didn¡¯t Jiannan find Mengxin¡¯s maid, Xia? Let Xia do the talking. Furthermore, Ziyue¡¯s matter should not be leaked to anyone, including Jiannan. Otherwise, I¡¯ll make sure you all will die a cruel death. You may leave now!¡± The few old doctors trembled in fear after listening to the old master''s threat and hurried out of the room. After that, Fang Butong stood up slowly with the support of his cane and stared at the wall, recalling some of the memories from the past few years. Especially in the beginning when he severed all ties with his beloved daughter, Fang Mengxin, in front of everyone, and chased her out of the Fang Family. Although Fang Butong was strict in carrying out the family discipline, he regretted the second he chased his daughter away. Therefore, he tried every means possible to look for Fang Mengxin. He would not force her toe home but he only wished to know if his beloved daughter was alive and well. At least, then, he could be slightly relieved. However, as the years passed, there was no sign of Fang Mengxin, causing Fang Butong to age quicker than he was supposed to, which should not have been the case since he emphasized on the cultivation of health and temperament in order to look younger than his actual age. Perhaps, this is my punishment. He thought he would never meet his daughter again in this life. However, there was divine justice after all. Situ Hong reported to him yesterday, saying that he found a girl who looked exactly like Fang Mengxin. The Fang Family was powerful, so tracking down a person or a matter was as easy as pie for them. Naturally, they got hold of the whereabouts of Fang Mengxin and his granddaughter, Su Ziyue. ¡°Mengxin, I know you resent me. But it¡¯s my birthday in three days, and I hope that you wille home to visit me¡­¡± Fang Butong mumbled with misty eyes. On the other side, a servant walked into a room carrying a box. In the room, a girl was weeping on the bed while wiping off her tears. When the servant saw the girl, she trembled in shock and the box in her hand fell to the floor. ¡°Huh? How could you look so much like her?!¡± the servant gasped in shock. ¡°Exactly the same as Miss when she was young!¡± Indeed. The moment the servantid eyes on the girl, past memories of when she used to serve alongside Fang Mengxin shed across her mind. This girl was Su Ziyue. Su Ziyue looked at this benign-looking servant who cried when she saw her and asked, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Miss Ziyue, I am Xia, and I''m Fang Mengxin¡¯s personal servant!¡± Aunt Xia cried as she replied. ¡°Fang Mengxin? I-Is she my mother?¡± Su Ziyue was overwhelmed with emotions when she heard the name Fang Mengxin. Aunt Xia nodded in tears. ¡°Miss Ziyue, you look just like Miss. She is indeed your mother!¡± ¡°She really is my mother! Aunt Xia, where is she now?¡± Su Ziyue sobbed as she asked. ¡°Miss Ziyue, please calm down. There are many things which I can¡¯t exin to you now in such a short time. Don¡¯t worry, your mother constantly cares and thinks about you. Your grandfather is not aware of her whereabouts now. When there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll bring you away from here to meet your mother!¡± Aunt Xia caressed Su Ziyue¡¯s head gently while looking at her with eyes full of affection. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let us in? Step aside!¡± Suddenly, a voice rang from outside the door¡­ Chapter 396 What A Coincidence Chapter 396 What A Coincidence ¡°Miss Qian, you really can¡¯t go in. This is an order from Old Master!¡± outside the door, a bodyguard was talking to a girl who looked to be in her twenties. ¡°I see. So now, there¡¯s a ce in the Fang Manor that I, Fang Qian, am not allowed to enter; my sisters don¡¯t like me; even my grandfather doesn¡¯t like me now! The more you forbid it, the more I want to go in! Now, step aside!¡± Fang Qian shoved the bodyguard away, twisted the doorknob swiftly and burst in. The room was refurbishedvishly, with the interior furnishings decorated ording to the European''s previous century¡¯s noble and vintage style. It was considered the most luxurious room in their manor aside from the Old Master¡¯s room. During Fang Qian¡¯s free time, she woulde in to admire the room. Just like most of the Fang family members, she would feel honored to be able to stay in this room. It was said that this room belonged to her aunt in the past. Fang Qian, who had been lonely and deste in the Fang Family, was already in a gloomy mood. Now that she heard that this room was upied by someone, she could not help finding out who it was. To her dismay, she was not allowed to go in! Su Ziyue and Aunt Xia were surprised by Fang Qian¡¯s intrusion. ¡°You are...? You look familiar. Who are you?¡± Upon seeing Su Ziyue, Fang Qian jumped in shock. ¡°I am Su Ziyue!¡± ¡°Su Ziyue? I¡¯ve never seen you here in the Fang Family manor.¡± Fang Qian sized Su Ziyue from head to toe. Aunt Xia was also shocked that Fang Qian would burst into the room. ¡°You must be Miss Qian. Old Master has instructed Miss Ziyue to stay here. Moreover, she needs to recover from her injuries¡­¡± ¡°Hmph! I know that! Although I¡¯m not sure why my grandfather allowed you to stay in this room, he must have his own reasons. Well, would you give us a moment? I have something to tell Ziyue!¡± Fang Qian said. Aunt Xia looked at Su Ziyue upon hearing the request. After receiving a nod from Su Ziyue, Aunt Xia went out of the room. Fang Qian closed the door as soon as Aunt Xia left. She then turned to Su Ziyue and said, ¡°I have a favor to ask. Can you lend me this room for a night? You can sleep in my room as an exchange!¡± Fang Qian had yearned to stay overnight in this room for the longest time. Su Ziyue was not sure how to respond to her request. To be honest, she was only hoping that Chen Hao woulde now to rescue her and Aunt Xia out. Then, she could seek her family and reunite with them. Therefore, she was not willing to waste any energy on the people as well as matters here. At this moment, Su Ziyue did not answer her. ¡°What is that supposed to mean? Can¡¯t you just do a small favor of exchanging rooms?¡± Fang Qian stood with hands on her hips as she asked frustratedly. Suddenly, a bodyguard opened the door and came in. ¡°Miss Qian, Old Master has instructed me to bring you to him now!¡± the bodyguard informed in a stern voice. ¡°You!¡± Fang Qian red at Su Ziyue before averting her stare to the bodyguard. Smack! There was a loud smack from the p on the bodyguard¡¯s face. ¡°How dare you report on me! I¡¯ll get back at you for this!¡± After that, she nced at Su Ziyue and stomped off. ¡°Fang Qian, what¡¯s wrong?¡± At this moment, Fang Jiannan and Fang Yi walked over to her outside the room. To their dismay, Fang Qian did not reply to her and walked away angrily. Upon noticing that the room in which Fang Qian came out from was the one that used to belong to her aunt, Fang Jiannan asked the bodyguard in an indifferent tone, ¡°Is there someone in aunt¡¯s room?¡± ¡°Yes, Miss Jiannan!¡± ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Old Master has instructed us not to tell anybody. Please don¡¯t make it hard for me!¡± the bodyguard answered. Fang Jiannan took a deep breath and stared at her aunt¡¯s previous room while frowning. It seemed like her grandfather was hiding something from her these few days. He even forbade her to continue her investigation on her aunt¡¯s matter. However, Fang Jiannan had always hated having scanty knowledge of a situation. Therefore, she came to her aunt¡¯s room today with Fang Yi to search for some clues. But who is staying in aunt¡¯s room which was never allowed to be encroached? ¡°Jiannan, why don¡¯t we sneak in there and have a peep?¡± Fang Yi could not suppress her curiosity and asked. ¡°Let''s not mess around. It¡¯s better for us to leave now. I don¡¯t want to infuriate grandfather as his birthday is approaching soon!¡± Despite Fang Jiannan¡¯s curiosity, she left without pushing the matter further. Two dayster. In a grand hotel which was monopolized in Qing City. ¡°Little Chen, have you bought all the materials I asked you to? Make sure to double check all of it again grand event tomorrow, all of us would be in trouble!¡± a woman in her thirties instructed a young man named Little Chen. ¡°Alright, Supervisor Li. I got it!¡± the young man answered. ¡°Oh, and a group of chefs from the Southern Region will be making supperter. Those celebrities sure are difficult to handle. They''re still entertaining themselves and ying cards at thiste hour, so you''ll need to send supper to each of them!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± This young man was none other than Chen Hao. Fang Yi was indeed influential as her connections were undeniably extensive. With her help, Chen Hao, Tian Long and Di Hu managed to sneak into the staffing team sessfully. During the birthday banquet of the Fang Family, renowned chefs from different ces, female celebrities from all over the world, and a team of hosts would be invited ording to the conventional practices of the past years. Naturally, the ceremony would be extravagant and magnificent. Therefore, the group of staff which Chen Hao and the rest were in wasrge. In just a few moments, the kitchen had finished preparing the supper. After notifying Supervisor Li, Chen Hao carried the supper over to the few celebrities. In the room, seven to eight female celebrities were divided into two tables, entertaining themselves with mah-jong. ¡°Here is your supper!¡± Chen Hao announced. There were many female celebrities here who Chen Hao had seen on television. ¡°Look, there¡¯s a handsome young man here! Come here boy, let me touch you!¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°Aren''t you being too ecstatic from making a bundle? Careful, you¡¯re scaring him!¡± another female celebrity teased her. ¡°How would I? It¡¯s not like I¡¯ll eat him! Haha!¡± It was mah-jong after all. The winner would naturally be ted while the loser remained anxious. Meanwhile, Chen Hao was cing the supper beside a female singer. As she was not aware of it, she identally swept the supper to the floor, causing some grease to be spattered onto her leg. ¡°Oh no! What the f*ck have you done?!¡± she bellowed at Chen Hao in extreme anger. Damn it! How I wish to pour the supper onto your face! Upon receiving the harsh attitude from the female singer, Chen Hao was infuriated. However, he would not do anything absurd now for the sake of the mission. Therefore, he could only swallow his grievance. After that, Chen Hao picked up the tray of supper and went into another room. ¡°Alright, please ce it here for us! Thank you so much!¡± There were only two people in this room and they were the hostesses of the celebrities in the room next door. They were both young girls who looked to be of simr age as him. As they were busy removing their makeup in front of the mirror, they pointed to a side and informed Chen Hao to leave the supper there. However, Chen Hao stood on the spot and examined one of the girls thoroughly before finally recognizing that girl. Damn! What a coincidence! Chen Hao was shocked. Chapter 397 Drunk Chapter 397 Drunk The girl was none other than Zhao Yifan. It had been a long time since Chen Haost met her. After those incidents, he heard that Zhao Yifan went to the Southern Region. She was taking the course on broadcasting and hosting, so it was natural for her to pursue her studies there. Out of his expectations, she was one of the hostesses in the team! Chen Hao was astonished. ¡°Oh, can you clean up the mess on the floor for us? Thank you!¡± the other girl instructed Chen Hao without looking back. ¡°Sure!¡± After all, Chen Hao joined in as an odd-job man, while Tian Long and Di Hu were lucky enough to have sinecure jobs. It was a strange arrangement Aunt Fang made. His job included running errands and carrying out manual tasks. Was I born into this fate? Damn. Of course, Chen Hao did not mind it at all because he was used to it anyway. ¡°Yifan, just take it as a trip to free your mind this time. Sigh, what a bummer. First, you left that sad ce Jin Ling and went over to the Southern Region hoping to be free from all that mess. Who would have expected that incident to happen? In fact, all of that supposingly belongs to you. If that had been the case, we would have been basking in the glory of it now!¡± the girl said while removing her makeup. After all, girls would be girls. There were only two main things to do in a day, which were putting on makeup in the morning and removing it at night. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it again. Although I acted tough, do you know that I deeply regret it, Han? I regret it every second of my life. In the beginning, I had quite good impressions of him. After all, he is good- looking, honest and kind to others. The only thing was that he was too poor! That¡¯s why there was a period of time where I hated him for no reason!¡± Zhao Yifan lost her mood to remove her makeup. At this moment, she was bending over the dressing table while doodling her eyebrows. She seemed to be bothered by something. ¡°Han, us girls can be so strange sometimes. I didn''t just fall in love with him after he became wealthy. How should I say this? I tried to ept and befriend him after his standard of life had slightly improved. I wasn''t aware that he was wealthy. I only knew that he wasn''t suffering in poverty and hunger like before!¡± ¡°Until one day, when me and my roommates were returning to our department¡¯s ssroom, he was standing at the staircase, holding a bouquet of flowers. You don''t know this, but I was actually touched, so I agreed to be with him. I thought that I could finally be in a rtionship!¡± ¡°And you know what happened after that. He yed me for a fool. At that time, I kept thinking to myself, why is it so hard for me to be in a good rtionship? I was very resentful that time, and I¡¯ve even thought of hurting him. How could he y with my feelings!¡± Zhao Yifan burst into tears as she vented. The other girl stopped removing her makeup as well. She then patted on Yifan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Actually, we, as girls, can be helpless at times. It¡¯s sometimes our fate to be deceived by these boys, especially wealthy, bad ones like him! For all you know, he was probably getting back at you!¡± ¡°Why would he want to get back at me? Just because I looked down on him in the past and refused to be with him? Han, which girl in this world wouldn''t wish that her partner was someone with money? He didn¡¯t need to be extremely wealthy but just enough to live afortable life! After all, the sense of security would onlye after having a stable financial status. I am not being money-minded, but this is how I think, and honestly, this is reality!¡± Zhao Yifan continued, ¡°I never regretted looking down upon him before, considering how he had nothing to offer at that time!¡± ¡°But Yifan, I have to tell you frankly that you shouldn''t hope for much. Chen Hao seems to be in love with Su Tongxin wholeheartedly! That being said, no one would feel at ease if they were to lose the chance of marrying into a wealthy and honorable family!¡± the girl tried to advise Zhao Yifan. ¡°But I still think it''s worth a try. How would I know whether I have a chance or not if I didn''t try? Sigh, the more I talk about it, the more frustrated I am. Han, I need a drink. Would you apany me for some booze tonight?¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Alright, I feel like drinking too. Let¡¯s toast to an earlier escape from our damn youth! Hey you, can you bring us a few bottles of red wine? Thank you!¡± Han looked at Chen Hao and said. ¡°Mm!¡± Chen Hao did not dare to utter a word. He only nodded briskly and went out. In the beginning, Chen Hao was intrigued by Zhao Yifan¡¯s story, thinking that she might have started a new romance. To his surprise, Chen Hao realized that she was talking about him after a few minutes into her story. Hearing this, Chen Hao felt immensely guilty toward Zhao Yifan. It was his fault for not making it clear to Zhao Yifan that she was not the one he was chasing after, causing her to misunderstand the situation. In the end when he realized that they were already together, only then did he tell her the truth. This was a great, unpleasant jar for a girl, especially girls who held their pride high like Zhao Yifan did. He was indeed at fault in this matter. Thinking of it, Chen Hao shook his head and brought them two bottles of red wine. Unexpectedly, after they started drinking, Han ordered Chen Hao to pack their luggage. Seriously, it''s like I''m their ve. Fortunately, Zhao Yifan was immersed in her thoughts and did not notice Chen Hao. By the time he was done packing their luggage, they had already chugged down the two bottles of red wine. At this moment, Zhao Yifan was tipsy and was requesting more alcohol. Chen Hao had no choice but to bring them more. Very soon, Zhao Yifan waspletely drunk. Just when Chen Hao was about to leave¡ª Barf! Zhao Yifan retched for a while and copsed onto the floor. On the other hand, Han was already passed out on the bed. ¡°I want more alcohol! I want more!¡± Zhao Yifan sobbed as she shouted. Her shouts stopped Chen Hao, who was almost stepping out of the door. Looking at Zhao Yifan, he felt somewhat apologetic toward her. If I hadn''t appeared in Zhao Yifan¡¯s life, she would be enjoying a happy and pleasant life now. But due to certain circumstances, he lost his feelings for her. However, he was not cruel as to not helping her after seeing her in this state. Thereafter, he walked back to her. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough alcohol for you. It''s gonna be a busy day for you tomorrow, so you should rest early,¡± With that, Chen Hao carried Zhao Yifan in his arms andid her onto the bed. Just when he was covering her with a quilt, Zhao Yifan suddenly grabbed his hand. ¡°Chen Hao, is it you? Is it really you?¡± Zhao Yifan asked with teary eyes. ¡°No, I''m not. You¡¯ve got the wrong person!¡± Chen Hao denied as he loosened her grip on his hand. ¡°Finally, you are willing to meet me. I need to exin something to you, so please don¡¯t go. Just hear me out!¡± Chen Hao was not sure if Zhao Yifan was raving or talking in consciousness. At this moment, she was grabbing tightly onto Chen Hao¡¯s arm. ¡°I know we don¡¯t have a chance to get back together, that''s why I¡¯ve tried every possible way to forget about you. I even tried to find a new boyfriend and start a rtionship to get you off my mind. But even though I''ve never expressed it, I still kept you in my heart. I really hope that you wille around one day! I am not the kind of girl you think I am, and I am not cheap either. In case we have a chance to get back together in the future, I''ll keep my virginity for you. Please, Chen Hao. Give me a chance!¡± Zhao Yifan tugged at Chen Hao¡¯s arm as she pleaded. When Chen Hao heard that Zhao Yifan was still keeping her virginity for him, he was touched. However, his feelings for her were long gone... Chapter 398 The Grand Meeting Begins Chapter 398 The Grand Meeting Begins The next morning. Zhao Yifan had woken up. As she drank quite a lot the previous night, she was having a mild headache. After letting out a deep breath, she proceeded to sit up. Suddenly, she realized that something was not right. ¡°Ah?¡± Zhao Yifan lifted up the nket and took a look at her body underneath it. She was shocked by what she saw. ¡°Han! Han!¡± Suddenly, Zhao Yifan was shouting for Lu Han. Lu Han then woke up and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Yifan?¡± ¡°Take a look! I currently have sleepwear on. From what I remember, I was still wearing my own clothes Zhao Yifan immediately asked. ¡°No way, I dozed off earlyst night after getting drunk. I bet you¡¯re just hallucinating. Who would have helped you get changed? Damn, that person would have to remove all the clothes you were wearing Lu Han was getting worried too. Immediately, she inquired Zhao Yifan whether she felt anythingst night. ¡°Think back carefully. Did you change it yourselfst night?¡± Rubbing her forehead, Zhao Yifan was unable to figure it out. Last night, I dreamt of something. In that dream, I saw Chen Hao and he was carrying me to the bed. I can¡¯t remember anything that happened afterward! Damn, this is so worrying! Why would such a thing happen to me? Zhao Yifan thought to herself anxiously. She felt her body all over but did not feel anything odd. Only then did she start to rx a little. With her mind still in doubt, she got up and kept her belongings in preparation to make her way to the venue of the grand meeting. Chen Hao, along with Tian Long and Di Hu, followed everybody else to the venue. Last night, Zhao Yifan started to throw up even before she could finish her sentence. Not only did she puke all over herself, she even got some of it on Chen Hao. Shortly after, she started to remove her own clothes. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t stand the sight of it. Therefore, he gave some tips to the hotel stewardess in return for her help to assist Zhao Yifan get changed and to clean up the room. Meanwhile, it was a secretive journey to the Fang Family¡¯s manor. After a short wait, the designated vehicle arrived to give them a ride. Every single one of them had their eyes covered with a piece of cloth. Their phones were all shut off as well. Obviously, no one was allowed to know the exact location of the Fang Manor. A morning at the Fang Manor. Several luxurious cars and prestigious families started to arrive one after another at the Fang Manor. ¡°Father, I hope you could mention something about that matter of mine!¡± Inside a car, Situ Yang spoke while looking at his father, Situ Hong. ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t worry. I will be courteous before getting down to business in dealing with the Fang Family this time. Everything would be fine if the Fang Family agrees to our proposal. Otherwise, we shall be ruthless with them!¡± Situ Hong let out a forlornugh. Thereafter, the car drove into the manor. Right away, Situ Hong met with the Old Master of the Fang Family. ¡°Hong, I¡¯ve heard that you wanted to see me. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Inside the study room of the Old Master of the Fang Family, Fang Butong asked while looking at Situ Hong. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Old Master, it¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s the issue regarding Jiannan and Yang. You know that both of them are childhood friends. They grew up together and they are quite close to each other. Hehe, I am wondering whether the Situ Family would have the honor of Yang bing the son-inw of the Fang Family? If we were to have such luck, it would be because of the blessings from our ancestors!¡± said Situ Hong respectfully. He knew very well that his son had long been in love with Fang Jiannan. However, Fang Jiannan was arrogant and proud. She wouldn''t spare his son even a nce! Does anyone from the Fang Family ever appreciate what I have done for them? Normally, as one of the affiliated family members, Situ Hong would never be daring enough to propose a marriage to someone from the main family. However, Situ Hong went ahead and did the exact thing which was forbidden. He was wondering what the Old Master would say. As for Fang Butong, his brows were slightly furrowed together. ¡°Are you talking about a marriage between Jiannan and Yang?¡± asked Fang Butong while letting out a forcedugh. ¡°I am afraid I would have to ask Jiannan¡¯s opinion! s, it¡¯s the matter of the youngsters. Hong, we should just let them decide on their own!¡± In spite of the annoyance he felt deep down, Fang Butong did not say anything in return at that moment. However, what he had just heard was akin to an indirect rejection. Surely, Fang Jiannan, being his granddaughter, looked down upon Situ Yang. ¡°One¡¯s marriage should be arranged ording to the wishes of his or her parents. I believe as long as you express your wish, Jiannan would not turn it down!¡± Nheless, Situ Hong kept pressing on. ¡°Are you thinking that Yang is not good enough of a match for Jiannan, and that their marriage would bring humiliation to the Fang Family?¡± asked Situ Hong. ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s not the case!¡± Fang Butong let out augh. At that moment, a soft knock on the door of the study room was heard. Fang Jiannan walked into the room. ¡°Grandfather, this is the itinerary and the guest list for the grand meeting. Please take a look!¡± Fang Jiannan was the organizer of the grand meeting. ¡°Just leave it here. I never have to worry about anything when you¡¯re the one handling the matters.¡± ¡°Jiannan, you came in at just the right time. Old Master and I were just talking about you!¡± Situ Hong said while looking at Fang Jiannan with a smile. ¡°Oh? Uncle Situ, you guys were discussing about me? What an honor!¡± Fang Jiannan let out a scornfulugh. ¡°Exactly. Old Master and I are discussing your marriage with Yang. Jiannan, you¡¯re no longer a little girl. It¡¯s about time you give some thought on your marriage. Since you and Yang are childhood friends, I reckon you two would be a great match!¡± said Situ Yang with a grin. ¡°I''m sorry, Uncle Situ. I am not thinking of getting married now. You should ask your son to find someone else as his wife!¡± Fang Jiannan stated in an icy voice. Situ Hong¡¯s expression went bleak at Fang Jiannan¡¯s indifferent attitude toward him. At that moment, Fang Butong said with augh, ¡°Hong, please don¡¯t get angry. I¡¯ll just be frank with you now. Even if Jiannan and Yang do love each other, they are not allowed to be together. It¡¯s because Jiannan is fated to belong to someone else right from the moment she was born!¡± Listening to his words, both Fang Jiannan and Situ Hong were in consternation. ¡°Old Master, what do you mean by that?¡± Fang Jiannan, too, was looking at her grandfather in surprise. ¡°This is a long story. Hong, Jiannan, I suppose you guys know something about the feud between the Fang Family and the Chen Family?¡± asked Fang Butong. With a gloomy face, Situ Hong creased his eyebrows before nodding his head. ¡°Sigh, dispute and grudges arose between the previous generations of the Chen Family and the Fang Family. The two families were secretly fighting with each other all the time. However, there was once a peacetime between the two families before. During that period of time, the Chen Family was under the helm of Chen Diancang, the father of the current master, Chen Jindong. When I was young, I was once very close with Chen Diancang. Thereafter, we became the masters of our respective families. It was only until then did the feud between the two families end. Moreover, we got into some kind of alliance, with a condition being¡­¡± As Fang Butong was narrating, he seemed to have reminisced about his past. ¡°The formation of the alliance is conditional upon my marriage?¡± asked Fang Jiannan in astonishment. ¡°Yes. Coincidentally, Jiannan, you have the same birthday and birth year as Chen Diancang¡¯s eldest grandson. Back then, we have signed a marriage contract whereby you would be married to Chen Diancang¡¯s grandson!¡± ¡°The only thing is, Chen Diancangter on had a big fight with his son and he gave up the managing role of the Chen Family. From then on, he never got involved with anything rted to the Chen Family. On the other hand, Chen Jindong is a very domineering man. He did not ept the alliance between the two families. Instead, he wanted to be independent and he wanted the Fang Family to be the subordinate of his family. Starting from then, the two families started fighting both openly and secretly. Your aunt¡¯s saga happened thereafter. Since then, a bitter enmity arose between the Chen Family and the Fang Family.¡± Chapter 399 Why Is She Here? Chapter 399 Why Is She Here? ¡°However, although Chen Diancang is out of the picture, it doesn¡¯t mean that the marriage contract has over to terminate the marriage contract up until now. As long as the marriage contract is not terminated, the contract would still exist and stay valid, regardless if Chen Family acknowledges it or not!¡± said Fang Butong. He then stared at Situ Hong before continuing, ¡°Hong, do you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± ¡°I had no idea about such happenings between the Chen Family and the Fang Family in the past. However, the Chen Family is still fighting us to this day. Old Master, I suppose the marriage contract could be deemed asing to an end!¡± Situ Hong was unrelenting. ¡°Although Chen Jindong had a big fallout with Chen Diancang before, I reckon he would not be bold enough to make changes to the rulesid down by Chen Diancang without his permission.¡± ¡°Okay, Old Master. Just take it as I¡¯ve never brought up this issue before. However, the Chen Family and the Fang Family have been in conflict for so many years. Back then, what happened to Fang Mengxin had brought about many casualties in our families. I will never forget what the Chen Family did to us!¡± After leaving some reminders and warnings, Situ Hong left the manor. ¡°He is getting more and more out of hand these days!¡± Fang Jiannan stated in a chilly voice. She made a dash toward her grandfather and massaged his shoulders. ¡°Nevertheless, no matter how cunning Situ Hong is, he will never be as good as you, grandfather. You are so brilliant to havee up with such a story to lie to him! Haha!¡± ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Fang Butong patted the back of Fang Jiannan¡¯s hands. He continued, ¡°Jiannan, I was not lying. You really have a marriage contract with the Young Master of the Chen Family!¡± ¡°What?¡± Fang Jiannan was bewildered at once. ¡°How is this possible? Grandfather, are you serious?¡± Fang Jiannan had never expected that such a thing would happen to her. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true!¡± ¡°But Grandfather, there¡¯s something I don¡¯t understand. Since there has always been a marriage contract between the Chen Family and the Fang Family, why was Aunt Fang¡¯s rtionship with the Second Young Master of the Chen Family, Chen Ping An, so fervently opposed?¡± asked Fang Jiannan puzzledly. ¡°Your case is differentpared to your aunt¡¯s. Right after you were born, Chen Diancang was managing the Chen Family. But when you were one year old, Chen Jindong had taken over managing the Chen Family. Chen Jindong sent Chen Ping An over to our family on a mission to steal our family heirloom. Once this family heirloom of ours is lost, our family will fall apart and crumble. It is obvious that Chen Jindong was trying to deploy a wicked scheme. I wouldn¡¯t want to lose both my daughter and my family!¡± ¡°What kind of thing is that family heirloom?¡± asked Fang Jiannan in shock. ¡°For the time being, such information cannot be revealed to you. Once you be as capable as your aunt used to be, I will tell you about it!¡± said Fang Butong with a smile. ¡°Grandfather, is my marriage contract still valid now?¡± Fang Jiannan put up the question which troubled her the most. ¡°To be honest, I¡®m not sure. Sigh! In some circumstances, I am very helpless and I don¡¯t have much choice in what I do!¡± ¡°Grandfather, why was there no news about the Young Master of the Chen Family all these years?¡± asked Fang Jiannan. ¡°The Young Master of the Chen Family was raised in frugality by Chen Jindong. He was let to live among the normal folks. Despite the Young Master being very well protected by Chen Jin Dong, I was still able to find out some clues about his identity after so many years. If I am not mistaken, the Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City who rose to fame earlier is closely rted to the Young Master of the Chen Family!¡± ¡°Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City?¡± echoed Fang Jiannan doubtfully. ¡°That¡¯s right. However, whenever I wanted to send my people to do a more thorough investigation, Chen Jindong would react promptly to my attempt. He would put the Young Master into an even more heavily-guarded protection scheme. Because of that, I have no ways to probe further on his identity!¡± Listening to her grandfather¡¯s narration, Fang Jiannan hade to understand many things. As it turned out, she had a marriage contract with Young Master Chen from Jin Ling City. Hehe, deep down inside, Fang Jiannan thought everything was surreal. She hated the Chen Family. She loathed every single one of them. They were the ones who caused her parents¡¯ death. Now, she felt like god had cracked a huge joke out of her... ¡°Grandfather, how about Chen Diancang?¡± asked Fang Jiannan. ¡°He has already gone into seclusion. He has not made an appearance before the public for twenty years already!¡± ¡°The affairs of the Chen Family are ratherplicated. The level of intricacies of their affairs is not lesser than ours!¡± Fang Butong exined. The grandfather and the granddaughter had a lengthy chat in the study room. In the blink of an eye, the venue of the grand meeting was already full of guests. Fang Ze was greeting the guests at the courtyard. ¡°Mr. Situ, you are early!¡± Most of the guests would go to Situ Hong to greet him. Obviously, the guests didn¡¯t take the two brothers of the Fang Family as seriously as Situ Hong. ¡°Hmph!¡± Watching the scene before him, Fang Ze flung his hands angrily. Suddenly, someone shouted, ¡°A white jade statue from the Long Family of Yan Jing!¡± ¡°Eh? Long Family of Yan Jing?¡± The guests were all in shock. Why would someone from the Long Family make an appearance in this kind of asion? The Fang Family had some ties with the Long Family and the Long Family used to be dependent on the Fang Family. However, that was many years ago, and they had not interacted with the Long Family for a long time. Most of the guests invited to attend the birthday celebration of the Old Master were the Fang Family¡¯s immediate family members. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. As for the Long Family, they were considered as the Fang Family¡¯s coteral family. Everyone was deeply engaged in discussion. Fang Ze and Fang Li nced at each other. ¡°I don¡¯t think we sent out an invitation to the Long Family of Yan Jing, right?¡± Both of them said in shock. ¡°Hehe, Second Young Master and Third Young Master, our family has invited the Long Family. The Long Family specially arranged for their representative to be here once they got to know about the Old Master¡¯s birthday celebration. Obviously, they are being very respectful of the Old Master!¡± At that moment, Situ Hong was speaking with a tone imbued with some iciness. ¡°Situ Hong, how dare you? You¡¯re not qualified to bring over your own guests to our ce! Who do you think you are?¡± Attending the celebration for the sake of Situ Hong and attending it for the sake of the Old Master were totally different cases. ¡°Uncles, please don¡¯t be angry. Since they are already here, they should be treated as our guests. The Situ Family has always been affiliated to our family. The guests they invited are considered one of us as well. Is that correct, Uncle Situ?¡± At that juncture, Fang Jiannan walked over and said with a subtle smile. ¡°Hahaha, my niece is the sensible one here. I suppose somebody here is still a caveman!¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± Fang Ze and Fang Li were outraged. While they were talking, the representative of the Long Family had arrived. ¡°Huh? Why did they send a girl?¡± Everyone was befuddled. Over ten people from the Long Family were here. However, a girl around the age of twenty-two was leading the group. ¡°I suppose she is the fianc¨¦e of the Second Young Master of the Long Family?¡± ¡°I attended the engagement ceremony of the Second Young Master of the Long Family!¡± said one of the guests. Only then did the rest of the guests realize something. It made sense that the Second Young Master would not be able to attend the celebration because of his current condition. ¡°Wee to the celebration, Miss Yang Xia!¡± Situ Yang and his father walked over to her and greeted the girl respectfully. ¡°Hello there, Young Master Yang and Uncle Situ. Please do ept my simple gift!¡± Of course, the girl was Yang Xia. Bang! Suddenly, the sound of a wine ss falling to the ground was heard from somewhere. Chen Hao had been rushing here and there, handling the chores. When he heard that the representatives from the Long Family were here, Chen Hao froze for a moment. Chen Hao was so shaken at the sight of the girl who was leading the group of representatives from the Long Family that he didn¡¯t manage to hold the tray properly. Yang Xia. Why was she here? Chapter 400 Exposed Chapter 400 Exposed Damn! First, he bumped into Zhao Yifan. Now, he bumped into Yang Xia. The initial n was to rescue Ziyue secretly during the Fang Family¡¯s grand meeting. However, things were starting to getplicated now. If he was recognized by either Zhao Yifan or Yang Xia, it would be chaos. Damn! Some people were already looking in Chen Hao¡¯s direction because he broke the wine ss, causing him to panic. He lowered his head abruptly to pick up the pieces, then fled to the back. ¡°Huh?¡± Even though Chen Hao had left the scene quickly, he still attracted a girl¡¯s attention. That girl was none other than Fang Yi, who was standing beside Fang Jiannan. Why does he look like Chen Hao? Impossible. It¡¯s a meeting of the Fang Family. Why would this silly guy be here? Fang Yi thought. After that, she trailed him out of curiosity. ¡°That was close!¡± When Chen Hao reached the backyard, he let out a breath of relief. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Suddenly, a girl¡¯s voice rang. Without thinking, Chen Hao turned back to look. His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw the girl. Oh no! It¡¯s Fang Yi! ¡°Oh my! I thought I was seeing something else. I didn¡¯t expect that it was really you. Y-You¡­ Why are you attending a Fang Family asion? How did youe in?¡± Fang Yi asked in astonishment. Her grandfather had birthday banquets before. Although Fang Yi had always turned a blind eye to what was going on around her, she knew some of the Fang Family¡¯s secrets. Chen Hao was just a mere son from a wealthy family, so how could he be qualified to attend her grandfather¡¯s birthday banquet? How? ¡°Well, I came to attend Old Master Fang¡¯s birthday banquet on behalf of my family. I was just finding my way to the restroom!¡± Chen Hao told a lie casually. ¡°I was just thinking of sending both of you a message just now!¡± ¡°What? Is your family also an appendage of the Fang Family?¡± Fang Yi said in surprise, ¡°But the Fang Family doesn¡¯t have any influence in Jin Ling of Ping An County!¡± Chen Hao felt nervous upon hearing her words. He then thought of the scene when Yang Xia arrived and exined, ¡°I¡¯m not the direct appendage of the Fang Family. Situ Family told us toe!¡± ¡°Oh, that makes sense!¡± Fang Yi replied in enlightenment. But in the next second, she raised her hand furiously and smacked Chen Hao¡¯s head. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, you should know that the Situ Family and us are not on friendly terms. It¡¯s such a surprise that your family is an appendage of the Situ Family. They are getting worse and worse!¡± Fang Yi said in a resentful tone. ¡°Well, I don¡¯t have the ability to decide on family matters!¡± Chen Hao replied with a sigh. Just when Fang Yi was about to lecture Chen Hao¡ª ¡°Li, look! That brat who scalded you yesterday night is there!¡± A few splendidly-dressed girls were walking out. They were the female celebrities who would be performing for this event. ¡°Here you are! I couldn¡¯t find you anywhere. You are a troublemaker and caused me to not be able to wear dresses. Did you know that this will lead to a massive decrease in my performance effect?¡± The female celebrity from yesterday night stormed toward Chen Hao and poked her finger continuously on Chen Hao¡¯s head. She was a woman with prestige after all, so she had an imposing manner. She was still infuriated by what happened yesterday. ¡°Hey! Stop it. Who do you think you are to talk to him this way?¡± It was fine for Fang Yi herself to hit Chen Hao since Chen Hao was a few ranks lower than her. However, how dare this female celebrity hit Chen Hao? This caused Fang Yi to feel embarrassed, so she lectured the female celebrity. The female celebrity recognized Fang Yi as a member of the boss¡¯s family judging from her luxurious clothes. Therefore, she did not dare to behave impudently. She then smiled gracefully and said, ¡°Beautiful Miss, please don¡¯t misunderstand us. This guy runs errands for us!¡± ¡°Runs errands for you? Who do you think you are? Chen Hao, what is happening right now?¡± Fang Yi was perplexed. Why would a son from a wealthy family serve under the orders of these female celebrities? ¡°Well, I¡¯ll exin it to youter. I really need to go to the restroom now. Please excuse me!¡± Chen Hao¡¯s head was almost exploding, thinking that Aunt Fang¡¯s n might be destroyed by him. ¡°You can¡¯t leave! Stand there!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t leave!¡± At this moment, Fang Yi and the few female celebrities shouted simultaneously. Fang Yi sensed that Chen Hao was hiding something from her, and she did not like the feeling of being left in the dark. Therefore, she would not let Chen Hao go no matter how much he wished to leave. Knowing Fang Yi was a family member of the Fang Family, and due to the misunderstanding between her and the few of them caused by this factotum just now, the few female celebrities were keen to be obsequious to Fang Yi. Besides, it was just a simple matter of bullying this factotum. Therefore, all five female celebrities not only shouted to stop Chen Hao, they even ran toward him and blocked his way. ¡°Chen Hao, this is the territory of the Fang Family. Where do you think you can escape to? Tell me quickly, why are you a young master and a factotum at the same time? What is happening exactly? If you refuse to answer me, I¡¯ll call Jiannan over now!¡± Fang Yi grabbed Chen Hao¡¯s cor and asked persistently. Although Chen Hao could fight all these girls easily with one hand, it would cause a greatmotion if he did that. Therefore, Chen Hao could only try to avoid the question as long as possible. ¡°Exactly. This factotum is not honest. I think there¡¯s something wrong with him, so we shouldn¡¯t let him off easily!¡± said Li, the female celebrity. Although Fang Yi was not fond of these few female celebrities, their words seemed to have some points. After all, Chen Hao was indeed acting furtively and it felt strange. Suddenly, Fang Yi felt the sense of family honor and the sense of justice, causing her to be obliged to look into this matter. So, she pinched Chen Hao¡¯s ear and said, ¡°I know you are skilled in fighting, but this is our territory. Let me tell you something. If you attack, I¡¯ll order my people to hit you to death. Don¡¯t me me for not considering our friendship. Since you aren¡¯t honest, you should just stay beside me. I¡¯ll let Jiannan interrogate you after she finishes her work! Come with me now!¡± After that, she dragged Chen Hao toward the front hall. At this moment, two young men walked toward them. Their eyes were grim and there were silver needles between their fingers, ready to attack. These two were none other than the Dragon Tiger Brothers. They were searching for Chen Hao everywhere. With much effort, they finally found him, but Chen Hao was caught up in trouble. In order to rescue Chen Hao, the Dragon Tiger Brothers decided to take a risk. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. However, Chen Hao shook his head and stopped them immediately, signaling them that they should act ording to the n and he could handle this situation himself. This caused the Dragon Tiger Brothers to feel puzzled. ¡°Stop struggling and behave well!¡± Fang Yi pinched Chen Hao¡¯s ear and continued forward. The five female celebrities were following at the side. They were even grabbing Chen Hao¡¯s arms. All the female celebrities were exhrated, thinking they might have contributed greatly to this prestigious family this time. Initially, Fang Yi was indeed nning to let Jiannan interrogate Chen Hao. However, when they reached the front hall, they saw many of the guests standing up at this moment. The scene had be silent as well. To their surprise, Fang Jiannan was standing in front of the hall, as if she was confronting the guests who were standing up. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Fang Yi asked in stupefaction. Chapter 401 An Outburst of the Internal Conflict Chapter 401 An Outburst of the Internal Conflict Chen Hao was also perplexed by the scene. It was all fine just now, so what happened that caused a change? It seemed like there was a conflict. So, he looked in that direction in bewilderment. In his sight, there was a middle-aged woman kneeling on the floor in the crowd. On the other side, Old Master Fang¡¯s countenance was rather gloomy, while the appendage families of the Fang Family were all burning with indignation. ¡°That¡¯s her! She was once the personal maid of Fang Mengxin, the crook of the Fang Family! Quick, tell us where Fang Mengxin is. If you do, we will let you off!¡± ¡°In that year, Chen Family and Fang Family had a great fight just because of Fang Mengxin. However, those who suffered the most loss were us, the appendages of the family. I even lost my dear son who had just turned into an adult. It¡¯s all because of Fang Mengxin. Old Master Fang, if you are hiding Fang Mengxin, please hand her over to us!¡± ¡°Yes! Hand her to us and give us an exnation!¡± Many people gathered around Old Master Fang and shouted at him. On the other side, Situ Hong sneered coldly. Just a moment ago, there was a minor conflict. It all happened when Fang Butong reprimanded Situ Hong in front of everyone for making unteral decisions. All these years, Situ Hong had been positioning himself as the head of these few families. Furthermore, when he requested Fang Butong for some properties and for his son¡¯s marriage in the morning, Fang Butong had embarrassed him. Long-standing grudges had already existed. As the saying went, ¡®try peaceful means before resorting to force¡¯. Since the peaceful means were ineffective, Situ Hong decided to risk it all today. Therefore, he told everyone that the Fang Family had found the maid of Fang Mengxin some years ago. Before this, Situ Hong had ordered people to monitor the Fang Family¡¯s movement. Besides, there were plenty of Situ Hong¡¯s snitches in the Fang Family. Naturally, Situ Hong was informed of this matter. What was more, he still had an ace card that he was going to hand over personally to Fang Butong. So, let the internal conflict begin today! Meanwhile, Fang Butong was staring at the crowd, simmering with rage. They had been fighting secretly with each other for years. Although the Fang Family was stillrge, it was just a tall building without its framework. It might appear tall and sturdy, but it was actually in imminent danger. Fang Butong was, of course, well aware of Situ Hong and his son¡¯s wild ambition. However, Fang Butong thought that even though he was old now, he still had the ability to control the pair of father and son in his remaining years. Yet, it was totally out of his expectation that this pair of father and son wouldunch attacks in public on his birthday banquet. This pair of father and son was trying to intensify the conflict that was umted throughout the years, which had been suppressed all this while. If it was not to mollify these few appendage families, Fang Butong would never have had the heart to sever ties with his own daughter! ¡°Today is my grandfather¡¯s 80th birthday. Did youe to celebrate it with my grandfather or to denounce him?¡± Fang Jiannan suddenly interrupted in a cold voice. ¡°Jiannan, we¡¯re most honored to celebrate your grandfather¡¯s birthday, but our families lost numerous loved ones that year. Your grandfather once promised to offer us an exnation andpensation. It has been over two decades now, yet we still haven¡¯t met Fang Mengxin, the culprit. Plus, the so-called exnation is just giving us some mere properties. Now, your grandfather is hiding Fang Mengxin¡¯s maid in the Fang Family. If Mr. Situ didn¡¯t bring it to light, we would still be kept in the dark!¡± ¡°We have been the appendages of the Fang Family for many generations. How will your actions be epted by us, Old Master?¡± A middle-aged man reproached indignantly. ¡°Exactly. I think it¡¯s useless to discuss this matter any further. Let¡¯s seize this maid and interrogate her with torture. I¡¯m sure she will spill the whereabouts of Fang Mengxin!¡± ¡°Someone, pull her up!¡± The bodyguards of a few appendage families immediately tried to pull Xia while she struggled. ¡°That¡¯s impudence! Do you think I don¡¯t know that you are actually aiming for my aunt¡¯s assets by pretending to find out her whereabouts?¡± Fang Jiannan shouted coldly. At once, the people from the appendage families went silent. ¡°Jiannan, it¡¯s not quite appropriate to put it that way, but since you¡¯ve said it, us, the Situ Family, must y an exemry role. Indeed, we¡¯ve only gotten a small fragment of Fang Mengxin¡¯s assets in the beginning, but the price we paid was way heavier than this. Therefore, it¡¯s only reasonable to share the assets equally among all of us!¡± Situ Hong replied. In the past, Fang Mengxin and her eldest brother, the first son of the Fang Family, controlled almost half of the Fang Family¡¯s power. Obviously, Fang Mengxin¡¯s power was stronger than Fang Jiannan¡¯s father. If the power was shared equally among these few appendage families, they would be on the same level with the Fang Family, or even worse. It seemed like this was the actual objective of the pair of father and son. ¡°Keep dreaming!¡± Fang Jiannan rebutted furiously. ¡°Jiannan, step aside. I don¡¯t need you in this matter!¡± At this moment, Fang Butong, who was watching with a grim face, finally spoke. Fang Jiannan did not dare to oppose her grandfather¡¯s words, so she stepped to the side. Meanwhile, Fang Butong went personally to negotiate with Situ Hong. ¡°Jiannan! Come here!¡± Suddenly, Fang Yi shouted for her. Fang Jiannan frowned and walked to her. When she approached Fang Yi, she saw Chen Hao who was grabbed by her. Fang Jiannan was rather shocked. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s put him aside first. Quick, tell me what happened. Are these few families striking a rebel?¡± Fang Yi grabbed Fang Jiannan¡¯s hand and asked. Fang Jiannan nodded. ¡°Grandfather told me before, asking me to beware of the Situ Family after his birthday banquet because the Situ Family has been conspiring to do something for all these years¡­¡± She then nced at Chen Hao before continuing, ¡°But we didn¡¯t expect that he would stir up trouble during grandfather¡¯s birthday banquet. No wonder he made some requests to grandfather in such an imposing manner this morning!¡± ¡°What requests did he make?¡± Fang Yi inquired. ¡°Oh, I know. He must have proposed a marriage to you!¡± Fang Jiannan nodded. ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s trying to punch above one¡¯s weight. I know, grandfather must have rejected him! Oh, and Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. how did grandfather reject him that caused him to act out of desperation?¡± After a contemptuous snort, Fang Yi asked again. ¡°Actually¡­ I have a marriage contract with someone ever since I was young!¡± Fang Jiannan¡¯s beautiful face blushed as she answered in a soft voice. ¡°What? With who? Why haven¡¯t I heard about this before?¡± ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s not talk about this!¡± Fang Jiannan shook her head. After that, she set her eyes on the scene. ¡°Old Master, I¡¯ve shown mercy in every way. Actually, if you give us thepensation we deserve, we will still follow the Fang Family devotedly in the future. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for me to spell it all out,¡± Situ Hong said in a cold voice. Fang Butong furrowed his eyebrows. He finally understood why Situ Hong acted out of character that day and told him that he found his daughter, Fang Mengxin. He thought Situ Hong had changed his mind. Unexpectedly, it was just his astute conspiracy. Fang Butong had been mighty for all his life, but was atst thrown in confusion due to the love for his own daughter. Nevertheless, veterans were always wiser than neers. The sensitive Fang Butong had still implemented extra protective measures. ¡°Hong, I don¡¯t know what you are talking about. Indeed, I¡¯ve found Xia in order to ask her the whereabouts of Mengxin. Unfortunately, Xia doesn¡¯t know anything. I sympathize with her homelessness, so I took her in. I think we¡¯ve sorted it all out just now. What else do you want to say?¡± Fang Butong replied calmly. ¡°Old Master, I¡¯m truly impressed by you. However, my subordinates halted a car right when it came out from the vi by chance this morning. And by chance again, we met a girl in the car. Tsk Tsk. That girl was extraordinarily beautiful. Master Li and Master Wang, you might not know, but the girl is extremely beautiful. To what extent? To the extent that she looks exactly like Fang Mengxin! If you don¡¯t believe me, I¡¯ll let my subordinates bring her here!¡± Situ Hong answered with a smile. ¡°Y-You kidnapped Ziyue?¡± Atst, Fang Butong could not remain hisposure anymore and asked in tremors. ¡°Is her name Ziyue? She kept her silence no matter what I asked her. I think it¡¯s best for all of us to ask her. Someone, bring the girl here!¡± Situ Hongmanded. Chapter 402 Someone From the Chen Family of the Southern Region Is Here Chapter 402 Someone From the Chen Family of the Southern Region Is Here As soon as Situ Hong finished speaking, a few people brought a girl into the scene. The girl kept her head down without uttering a word, but her stunning face struck everyone¡¯s heart. ¡°How simr. They look exactly the same!¡± ¡°Yes. I thought Fang Mengxin from the past had returned!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve been deceived. Perhaps Old Master Fang knew where Fang Mengxin was all this while, only that we¡¯ve been kept in the dark all these years!¡± Everyone could not stop discussing what they saw. This girl was none other than Ziyue. Ziyue¡¯splexion was pale from the injuries, and her body was still weak. ¡°She really is aunt¡¯s daughter. It seems like grandfather found aunt¡¯s daughter!¡± Fang Jiannan also gasped in enlightenment. ¡°Ziyue!¡± Fang Butong¡¯s face turned stern. Initially, he had ordered people to send Su Ziyue away secretly, but he did not expect the Situ Family to have nted their people in the Fang Family. Therefore, Su Ziyue was caught by Situ Hong. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Old Master Fang, we have both the witness and material evidence. What else do you have to say? Where is Fang Mengxin? Please hand her over!¡± At this moment, the other families had united as one and were all ring at Fang Butong. In this situation, Fang Butong had nothing more to say, so his face became sullen. He wanted to rescue Su Ziyue, but he must give an exnation to the appendage families due to the instigation of the Situ Family. Just when he was in a quandary¡ª ¡°Why are you making things difficult for the Fang Family? I am here!¡± A voice rang behind everyone. Following the voice, they saw a woman walking toward them from outside the door. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Who is that? How did shee in?¡± ¡°Ew! Look at her face. She¡¯s beyond ugly!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t bear the sight of her. I¡¯ll have goosebumps if I look at her any second longer!¡± The crowd was in a tumult at once. Yang Xia was staring at Su Ziyue just now because Su Ziyue looked familiar, but she could not recall where she had met her. When she turned and saw the woman who had just arrived, she could not help but purse her lips in disgust. As for Fang Butong, his whole body quivered violently. This voice was way too familiar to him, and he had waited for this voice for twenty years. However, Fang Butong could not believe his eyes when he saw the woman. This was his daughter, Mengxin, who was once an unparalleled beauty? ¡°Mengxin? I-Is that you, Mengxin?¡± Fang Butong asked while his hands trembled. Fang Ze and Fang Li also stared at Fang Mengxin in astonishment before rushing to support Fang Butong. ¡°Father, it has been twenty years. I¡¯m back now!¡± Tears rolled down Fang Mengxin¡¯s cheeks at once. ¡°Sister?¡± Fang Ze and Fang Li were thrown in a muddle and could only look at each other in disbelief. ¡°Gasp¡­¡± Even Situ Hong and the others could not help but breath in a mouthful of air in astonishment. ¡°She¡¯s really Fang Mengxin, the eldest daughter of the Fang Family! Oh my, no wonder the Fang Family failed to locate her all these years. It¡¯s because Fang Mengxin, who was once as beautiful as a flower that dazzled innumerous people, looks like this now!¡± ¡°Exactly. Even if someone met her on the street, no one would recognize her!¡± Everyone could not suppress their sighs. ¡°Miss, why did youe here?¡± On the contrary, her maid, Xia, ran toward Fang Mengxin. ¡°Aunt Xia, I have to show myself in order to save Ziyue. You have been suffering for all these years because of me, Aunt Xia,¡± Fang Mengxin said in an apologetic tone. She then averted her gaze toward her daughter, Ziyue, who was staring at her in perplexity. ¡°Ziyue, I lied to you previously because we thought it was best after discussing with your brother. I¡¯m actually your mother!¡± Fang Mengxin held Su Ziyue¡¯s hand gently. Su Ziyue finally understood why she would feel that Aunt Fang was familiar and approachable when she met her earlier. So, she was Fang Mengxin, her mother whom she had been searching for? Su Ziyue was caught inplicated emotions now and she was not sure how to address this woman whom she felt so close to. Should she call her as her mother or Aunt Fang? ¡°I understand now. No wonder we couldn¡¯t find any clues regarding my aunt previously!¡± Fang Jiannan said. ¡°Today is not the day for a reunion. Fang Mengxin, since you showed yourself, shouldn¡¯t you give us an exnation regarding that year¡¯s incident? You have been hiding for over twenty years since then, and we¡¯ve put in countless effort to search for you!¡± Situ Hong interrupted coldly. ¡°Situ Hong, I know what you want to do, and it¡¯s pointless for you to threaten the Fang Family using me. That property will never end up in any of the appendage families¡¯ hands even if we were to allocate it. Since you wished to find me, here I am. I can go with you and you can deal with me however you want!¡± Fang Mengxin replied. At once, Situ Hong¡¯s face became red in anger. Although he had courted Fang Mengxin in the past, those feelings of romance were long gone now. If Fang Mengxin did not appear, his n would still seed, but now that she had appeared, his n would be fruitless. Even if he killed Fang Mengxin, it would only be a pointless act if he could not get those properties. Situ Hong had been searching for Fang Mengxin¡¯s whereabouts all these years so that he could catch her and lock her up somewhere. To his disappointment, she was nowhere to be found. She was like a time bomb to him. Unexpectedly, it exploded at this crucial time, causing Situ Hong and the rest to be the unreasonable rebels. ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯ll let you off. Someone, bring her away!¡± The heads of the few appendage families shouted in frustration due to the embarrassment they felt. Fang Butong was about to stop them. ¡°Old Master, someone sent a birthday gift to you! They¡¯re outside!¡± Suddenly, a butler rushed in with puffs and pants. He seemed nervous. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Those gifts are all priceless!¡± The butler seemed to be shocked. ¡°What? Who is the sender?¡± Today, Fang Butong had invited all the guests that he needed to invite. Fang Butong knew clearly the abilities of these families, and he was sure that they were unable to give anything priceless. Besides, the butler would not be in a great shock if the gift wasmon. The butler gulped in nervousness and replied, ¡°He said he was your old friend, and that hees from the Chen Family of the Southern Region!¡± ¡°What? The Chen Family of the Southern Region?!¡± With a tremble, Fang Butong¡¯s walking stick escaped his grip and fell onto the ground. Even everyone at the scene was stupefied. Anyone who belonged to the Fang Family¡¯s appendage or the direct descendants knew about the Chen Family of the Southern Region. It was a supreme family now. It was also because of the Chen Family of the Southern Region that the Fang Family did not dare to make any big move in over ten years. Their existence was absolutely terrifying. Obviously, the grudge between the Chen Family and the Fang Family was also well-known by everyone. Fang Jiannan walked to her grandfather¡¯s side at this moment. After all, the one who caused the death of her parents was the Chen Family. Were they finally meeting this mysterious great enemy today? Situ Hong¡¯s face went ashen. It seemed to be a bad time tounch an attack on the Fang Family today. Now that the Chen Family was here, he would totally be a minor character in this scene. Usually, they were just bbering when they said Chen Family was their enemy. Who would have the courage to oppose the Chen Family openly? Even if the Chen Family was the culprit to their great loss of people in the past, Situ Hong and those heads of the appendage families would never have the audacity to utter a word in front of absolute power. Meanwhile, Chen Hao was watching this scene at a side dumbfoundedly. Someone from his family came? Indeed. He did tell his subordinate the location of the Fang Family, but he did not expect them toe under the name of the Chen Family of the Southern Region. And, who came? Chen Hao was itching with curiosity. At this moment, the butler spoke again, ¡°It¡¯s the Young Master of the Chen Family, Young Master Chen!¡± Chapter 403 Young Master Chen is Here Chapter 403 Young Master Chen is Here ¡°What? Young Master Chen from the Chen Family?¡± Everyone looked at each other in surprise. ¡°No one has ever heard of this Young Master from the Chen Family!¡± ¡°Eh-hem, don¡¯t forget that Young Master Chen is being raised discreetly in a normal household. The average person could never get any information about him; even the Fang Family couldn¡¯t obtain any details about him¡ªand they used up all their manpower to investigate!¡± ¡°Who would have thought that Young Master Chen had returned to the family? And he managed to find the Fang Family too! This is amazing! The Young Master is almost on par with Chen Jindong in his prime years! ¡± People from the affiliated family were discussing this matter excitedly. Fang Jiannan took quick breaths as excitement stirred within her. ¡°Young Master Yang, what is the background of Young Master Chen from the Southern Region?¡± Now that the Chen Family had arrived, the focus was not on their affiliated family anymore, including the Long Family. As the Second Mistress of the Long Family, Yang Xia was shocked by Fang Butong¡¯s attitude and quickly asked him. As everyone was talking about Young Master Chen, it made Yang Xia think of someone involuntarily. ¡°The Chen Family from the Southern Region is a mysterious yet powerful family. I heard that even their weakest affiliated family is almost on par with the Fang family. To them, we are nobody.¡± Situ Yang spoke reverently, with a hint of fear on his face. ¡°What? Families like them still exist?¡± After all, Yang Xia only rose to a higher social sster in her life. Though her knowledge improved vastly, she was still shocked upon hearing Situ Yang¡¯s exnation. ¡°Of course they do! The Fang Family has beenpeting with the Chen Family using the foundation that they built up, but even with that, they are still no match for the Chen Family. Hence, they chose to hide their existence to avoid the Chen Family, while plotting to retaliate. However, due to this, there are a lot of arguments and internal divisions within the Fang Family. Of course they are freaking out now that the Chen Family found them, ha!¡± Situ Yang took a deep breath before exining. ¡°T-Then, how much assets and properties does the Chen Family own in total?¡± Yang Xia asked, dumbfounded. ¡°I have no idea. But there were rumors saying that half of the world¡¯s fortune is umted at the Chen Family now!¡± After hearing Situ Yang¡¯s statement, Yang Xia¡¯s eyes widened. Half of the world¡¯s fortune! What even is this? As for this Young Master Chen from the Southern Region, who on earth is he? Everyone began discussing about him in astonishment. ¡°Yifan, listen, seems like an extraordinary Young Master is arriving!¡± A few girls pulled Zhao Yifan into their conversation. ¡°Yeah? How ¡®extraordinary¡¯ is this guy?¡± ¡°Oh my god, didn¡¯t you see that even the influential and powerful families are afraid of him? ording to them, the Young Master Chen who is arriving soon owns half of the world¡¯s fortune! The Chen Family from the Southern Region is very powerful indeed!¡± the girls gushed excitedly. After all, girls were always fawning over rich and good looking guys. It had never crossed their minds that they stood a chance to meet this influential young master. Upon hearing this, Zhao Yifan covered her opened mouth instantly. Soon after, nervousness took over the initial shock. ¡°You were saying that the young master from the Chen Family of the Southern Region, is Young Master Chen?¡± Zhao Yifan suddenly became sensitive. Her heart ached unknowingly as she thought of Chen Hao. She knew some of his background before this. His sister had an incredible amount of wealth. And she heard that his sister was from the Southern Region as well. Southern Region¡­ Could she be from the Chen Family? Zhao Yifan¡¯s breathing quickened. If everything was true, she would rather die right now! If Chen Hao was just a normal rich kid, Zhao Yifan could still survive after rejecting him. However, if he was a man of such status and power, what should she do? ¡°They¡¯re here!¡± someone yelled. The chaotic crowd calmed down as everyone looked to the direction of the arriving people. Almost a hundred men who were dressed in ck walked toward them uniformly. The leader of the team was an elderly man who seemed to be in his sixties. A young man in a formal suit stood beside him. He looked like he was around 22 years old. He had small eyes, and was a little plump. ¡°Is he the Young Master Chen from the Southern Region?¡± ¡°Yes, it must be him!¡± The crowd gulped, not daring to speak loudly. Soon, the group of men came to Fang Butong. The aura exhibited by them was beyond powerful. ¡°Fu, is it you?¡± Fang Butong smiled at the elderly man and asked. ¡°Fang, I believe we have not seen each other in five, six decades. How are you?¡± The elderly¡¯s lip twitched into a slight smile.. ¡°Yeah, time flies so quickly. Sixty years flew past in the blink of an eye. It¡¯s unbelievable that the weepy guy who followed Chen Diancang had made it this far now! I wouldn¡¯t have recognized you if it weren¡¯t for your eyes¡ªthey have not changed a bit. It¡¯s been so long!¡± Fang Butong eximed wistfully, reminiscing about their past. At that time, Fang Butong and Chen Diancang were sworn brothers. The elderly man named Fu was Chen¡¯s entourage. With the passing of time, it was not what it used to be anymore. ¡°Yeah, Fang, it¡¯s been ages!¡± Fu smiled calmly. Even though the Chen and the Fang family had disputes dated a long time back, they were still very polite to each other on the surface. Powerful people like thempeted with each other behind closed doors. As for Young Master Chen beside Fu, he was just looking around nonchntly. ¡°Hmm?¡± He saw a familiar figure. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± They spoke at the same time. The person he saw was Yang Xia. He was shocked by her presence here. Yang Xia was astounded¡ªshe dealt with him before. Wasn¡¯t he Chen Hao¡¯s godbrother, the son of the wealthiest millionaire in Suzhou City, Huang Yonghao? Why is he Young Master Chen? Without knowing why, nervousness suddenly crept up on Yang Xia. ¡°I thought you¡¯re Young Master Huang? Since when have you be Young Master Chen?¡± Yang Xia asked with a pale face. Fang Jiannan was stunned. She thought he was the Young Master Chen she was betrothed to by arranged marriage. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Yang Xia revealed the truth in front of everyone. Huang Yonghao was embarrassed and bashful. He exined, ¡°Who said I am Young Master Chen? I am just here for fun.¡± ¡°So it wasn¡¯t him. Then where is Young Master Chen?¡± The crowd gasped. ¡°Fang, there are two reasons why we came here today. First is to represent the Chen Family, along with Young Master Chen, to present you a birthday gift. Our master has regrets over what happened these years, and he hoped to speak to the Fang Family in person. However, many years have passed and we still couldn¡¯t get any information about the whereabouts of the Fang Family.¡± Fu smiled and continued. ¡°Don¡¯t worry Fang. With the Chen Family here, no one would dare to step out of line at your birthday celebration! ¡± Situ Hong and the rest gulped and took a step back involuntarily. ¡°The second reason for being here is, we want to fetch Miss Ziyue and Lady Mengxin back to the Chen Family. Thedy is our master¡¯s sister, and Miss Ziyue is a part of our family; I¡¯m sure you will understand!¡± Fang Butong took a deep breath. Since everything had escted to this point, and the Chen Family took the trouble toe all the way here, it was likely that they were prepared. Looking at the big picture, Fang Butong could not say anything else. Especially now that the Fang Family was exposed, they were facing imminent danger. However, the Fang Family had a trump card which was very important to Chen Jindong. They were sure Chen Jindong would not risk it. If both parties could discuss ande to an agreement, it would be the best oue. ¡°Of course, of course!¡± Fang Butong nodded. ¡°Fu, the Fang Family and the Chen Family had been equals in the past. You imed that Young Master Chen came to celebrate my birthday, but he is not here today. Yet you want me to send my daughter and granddaughter over to the Chen Family. This is a little unreasonable.¡± Fang Butong spoke while looking at Fu intently. ¡°Oh, who said our Young Master Chen is not here? In fact, he was here a day before for your birthday!¡± Fuughed and said merrily. ¡°What? Young Master Chen is already here?¡± Fang Butong was startled. ¡°Young Master Chen is here? Where is he?¡± The crowd discussed among themselves frantically. Chapter 404 Everyone was shocked Chapter 404 Everyone was shocked Fu was now busy scanning through the crowd. ording to Zhu Ming, Young Master Chen was definitely here. Everyone was looking at each other too. ¡°Oh, I would have never thought that Young Master Chen is already here!¡± Fang Yi eximed. She wanted to take a good look at the person who caused her and Jiannan not being able to y outside when they were younger. Even a few female celebrities were searching through the crowd excitedly, pushing Chen Hao down in the process. It would be difficult to make friends with Young Master Chen who came from such a prestigious background. If they were able to meet some top-notch wealthy men, everything would be worthwhile. As the situation unfolded in front of him, Chen Hao shook his head and smiled wryly. It was impossible for him to maintain a low profile anymore. The original n was to let Zhu Ming carry out his ns to stir something up. He had no idea why his father sent people from the Southern Region here, nor how did he know about this. It was actually better that some members of the Chen Family came. At least hepleted his mission. At that time, Chen Hao stood up. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Fang Yi asked, ¡°What are you doing, Chen Hao?¡± A few celebrities were taken aback. ¡°We¡¯re looking for Young Master Chen. You are just a gofer¡ªwhy are you standing?¡± ¡°People who didn¡¯t know you would mistake you for him, ha!¡± they sneered. Everyone was shocked by his actions, and looked at him. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Zhao Yifan recognized him at once. Her breathing was uneven. She didn¡¯t know that Chen Hao actually came. By the looks of it, he seemed to be following the team of celebrities. The guy who brought her back to her bed and changed her clothes after she was drunk¡ªwas it really Chen Hao? She remembered seeing him through her hazy memories. Is Chen Hao really... Reluctance, remorse, and indignance flooded her emotions at once. What if he really is Young Master Chen? What is the background behind the man whom I once rejected? On another hand, Yang Xia could not believe her eyes as she took in the situation. She had a foreboding premonition. Chen Hao always turns up like a bad penny! I never thought I could meet him here, at a morous event like this in Sichuan! If there was anyone who dreaded this moment the most, it would definitely be Yang Xia. She never would have thought that he was here. Is he the so-called Young Master Chen everyone has been talking about? The Chen Family from the Southern Region could not bepared to the Long Family at all. Seeing Chen Hao again after some time, Yang Xia thought he looked more mature. His growth made her extremely ufortable. ¡°Chen Hao, you¡ª¡± Fang Jiannan was surprised to see Chen Hao walking toward her. Slightly blushing, she thought, Is he my fianc¨¦ from the arranged marriage by my parents? Not just Fang Jiannan, Fang Mengxin was also in shock. All this while she thought Chen Hao was just one of the descendants of the Chen Family. It had never crossed her mind that his father was Chen Jindong! ¡°Greetings to Young Master Chen!¡± Fu looked at his Young Master, grinning from ear to ear. He had always been Chen Jindong¡¯s chauffeur; he even hugged Chen Hao when he was only a toddler. Fu was also in charge of Chen Hao¡¯s poverty education. Even though he had not been keeping in touch with Chen Hao, Fu understood his temperament¡ªhis mature and steady character resembled his mother. ¡°Young Master Chen!¡± the group of men behind him greeted in unison. Chen Hao nodded, acknowledging their greetings. ¡°Uncle Foo, I never would have thought that you guys woulde.¡± ¡°Master Chen worried that you couldn¡¯t handle the situation alone, so he instructed me to lend you a hand.¡± ¡°As for me, I missed you too much, so I¡¯m here to see you, bro.¡± Huang Yonghao smirked at Chen Hao. Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped, especially the female celebrities. They had never hoped to vanish into thin air this badly. ¡°This is impossible, it¡¯s definitely impossible!¡± Yang Xia mumbled while shaking her head in denial. When she found out that Chen Hao was the billionaire of Jin Ling, she was hurt and depressed. However, all those sentiments vanished once she married into the Long Family. She calmed down when she thought they were at least equals. But now that she knew he was the Young Master Chen from the Southern Region and also a world top billionaire, she freaked out. To Chen Hao, the Long Family was as insignificant as an ant to a dragon. Yang Xia was bbergasted. ¡°Master Fang, I now represent the Chen Family from the Southern Region to hand you your birthday present. Is it appropriate now?¡± Chen Hao grinned and asked Fang Butong. Fang Butong breathed sharply and nodded. Fang Yi ran over to Fang Jiannan¡¯s side. ¡°Oh my, Jiannan! I didn¡¯t know Chen Hao was¡ª¡± Her voice trailed off in shock. Fang Jiannan blushed and nodded. They would never have thought that Chen Hao was actually Young Master Chen from the Chen Family! This simplified the following procedures. Fang Butong had to negotiate with the Chen Family, as the Fang Family was exposed. Chen Hao would also bring Fang Mengxin and Ziyue with him. After the birthday celebration ended, Chen Hao and his group of men left, leaving behind Yang Xia, who was full of bitterness, and Zhao Yifan who had mixed feelings. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Yang Xia chased after him irritatedly but she was stopped by his bodyguards. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Chen Hao asked her bitterly after he looked at her. ¡°Chen Hao, let me ask you¡ªwhat is going on? Y-You are actually Young Master Chen from the Chen Family? How is this possible?¡± Yang Xia came to him personally. She managed to keep her cool. After all, some matters had to be hidden from the Long Family. But she couldn¡¯t allow Chen Hao to leave like this; she was unwilling to ept the facts. When she was dating him, he was known for being poor. But not long after that, not only did he suddenly be rich, he also became the CEO of Jin Ling Group. This was already a lot to take in for Yang Xia. Yang Xia wanted to know the actual reason behind this, but Chen Hao had never told her. Now that she thought her status and wealth would be equal to that of his, he revealed that he was actually the son of a top billionaire in the world. She couldn¡¯t even fully grasp the magnitude behind the words ¡®world¡¯s top billionaire¡¯. Looking at her expression, Chen Hao knew that she wouldn¡¯t give in unless he told her everything. ¡°Initially I was shocked as well. When I went back that night, heartbroken and miserable, my sister transferred ten million to me as my pocket money. I was stunned looking at the amount of money. Then she told me a secret that was kept from me for years¡ªI was being raised as if Ie from a poor family, but in reality, it was the opposite,¡± Chen Haoughed bitterly and exined. Her eyes almost popped out upon hearing this. Everything fell in ce after his exnation. ¡°Now that you know everything, I¡¯m leaving soon.¡± Chen Hao nodded at her. ¡°Wait, Chen Hao!¡± Yang Xia suddenly cried out in rm. Chapter 405 The Night Before Everything Went Wrong Chapter 405 The Night Before Everything Went Wrong ¡°Chen Hao, what do you say about us making up? I am even willing to be your second wife!¡± ¡°What?¡± Chen Hao widened his eyes and looked at Yang Xia unbelievably. ¡°W-What did I just say?¡± Flustered, she spoke out her thoughts nervously without thinking. She immediately exined awkwardly, ¡°I-I was just babbling. Please don¡¯t take it to your heart. Nevertheless, are we still friends?¡± Chen Hao forced a smile without replying. ¡°That¡¯s fine, I¡¯m off for now!¡± Chen Hao then left. After all this while, there was no more affection between them and he did not have any feelings toward her anymore. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t want to involve himself with her anymore. He received a call when he was in the car. He looked at his phone. It was actually from Su Tongxin It had been almost two weeks since shest messaged him. It was him who texted her from time to time. ¡°Tongxin, what¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked, smiling. ¡°H-Have you finished your business?¡± she asked. Chen Hao had been sending Su Tongxin updates about himself all the time, so she knew what he was dealing with. ¡°I¡¯m done for the day. I am going back to the Southern Region today, but I will drop by Hong Kong to visit you first.¡± He grinned. ¡°Sure, sure. By the way, do try toe over tomorrow morning. I have an exclusive interview with an expedition team overseas. I want to see you badly. I missed you very, very much!¡± Su Tongxin did not confide in him all the difficulties that she had faced up to that point. Chen Xiao¡¯s stand was tantly clear¡ªSu Tongxin could never marry into the Chen Family. This meant that she couldn¡¯t be together with Chen Hao. But Su Tongxin refused to give in. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would try and give her best. She tried hard to prove that she was not a gold digger. From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to be together with Chen Hao and be useful to him. Due to her hard work all this while, she had the opportunity to lead an exclusive interview with her team. In the process, however, she found herself missing Chen Hao increasingly everyday. ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll see you tomorrow then!¡± Chen Hao smiled. They hung up after the small talk. ¡°Tongxin, how was it? Is Chen Haoing?¡± Su Mengmeng asked her while packing the essentials for the uing interview. The other tmates were asking Su Tongxin about Chen Hao as well. When theyst met him, Chen Hao was still a Young Master from Jin Ling. After that, they discovered that he was the son of a world¡¯s top billionaire, one of the richest in the world. His status rose immediately. They started looking at him in a different light. Su Mengmeng and the other friends acted as if they had never met Chen Hao, and they were dying to see him again. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. As the leader of the journalist team, Su Tongxin had the rights to bring two assistants for the uing interview. For the two assistants, they would definitely be Su Mengmeng and Wu Wenwen. Even though there were some internal disputes between Wu Wenwen and Su Tongxin, they maintained a good rtionship after the incident at the TV station. ¡°He said he will being tomorrow.¡± Su Tongxin smiled sweetly at the thought of this. ¡°This is great! I can imagine the scenario when he arrives. When our boyfriendse to send us off, could you introduce him to us?¡± Su Mengmeng asked, grinning. ¡°Sure!¡± The three of them were chatting with each other joyfully. Knock knock! There was a knock on the door, followed by the door being opened. It was Ma Nan. ¡°Tongxin, I saw some parcels belonging to you guys, so I brought them to you.¡± Ma Nan handed over three small parcels to them. ¡°Thanks,¡± Wu Wenwen replied coldly. Everyone was still furious over the previous incident in which she teamed up with Yang Huali and framed Tongxin. But Su Tongxin didn¡¯t hold it against her. ¡°Thanks, Ma Nan. Here, let me take it.¡± Su Tongxin took the parcels. ¡°Tongxin, because of you, I had another chance to stay at the TV station. Thank you very much!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, we¡¯re good friends after all! Oh, let¡¯s see what¡¯s in the parcels, shall we?¡± Su Tongxin said happily. There were only three people in the t before Ma Nan joined them. It was obvious Ma Nan wanted to get closer with Su Tongxin, so she didn¡¯t leave. ¡°Oh, I wonder who sent us these. Could it be our boyfriends? Nah, maybe not! Ha-ha!¡± Su Mengmeng spected wildly. ¡°I guess this is from the expedition team, as the three of us are involved.¡± ¡°Right!¡± The three of them opened their respective parcels. ¡°Hmm, what¡¯s this? A pendant? Doesn¡¯t look like it though; it looks weird.¡± Su Mengmeng took out something that looked like a pendant. It was a giant burning fireball which resembled the sun. ¡°The expedition team is one of a kind! Why did they give us such gifts?¡± Wu Wenwen said perplexedly, ¡°And why does it make people feel so ufortable just by looking at it?¡± ¡°You are right, it is weird!¡± Su Tongxin agreed. ¡°Forget it. Tomorrow is our big day, so let¡¯s have a feast tonight¡ªit¡¯s my treat!¡± Su Mengmengughed. ¡°All right. Come join us, Ma Nan,¡± Su Tongxin invited. Ma Nan nodded. Meanwhile, a private jet which flew from Sichuan to Hong Kong arrived safely that night. A car then fetched a group of people to the quay. At the quay, a young man pped a girl hard. ¡°Get lost, you b*tch!¡± He used all of his force and the girl fell to the ground. They were in front of a hotel by the quayside. ¡°F*ck! Only now you thought of me? And you finally came to find me? Go to h*ll!¡± He then kicked her abdomen harshly. The girl curled up on the ground in obvious pain. This scene was witnessed by the group of people who were about to board the ship. ¡°If my current girlfriend gets the wrong impression, I will feed you to the sharks!¡± The man was about to hit the girl again. Suddenly, his hands were grabbed by someone mid-air. ¡°W-Who are you?¡± he demanded furiously. The person applied some pressure on his wrists. ¡°Ouch!¡± The man begged for him to let him go immediately. ¡°Get lost!¡± The person kicked him away. The man nced at the group of people behind the mysterious person, and didn''t dare to utter a sound. He took his leave frantically, and ran to the hotel. Only then did the person kneel and tried to help the girl up. He froze when he saw her. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± he eximed. When they were at the quay, the figure of the girl was vaguely familiar. He didn¡¯t want to get involved, but the man was being too ruthless. He couldn¡¯t bear watching a girl getting beaten up helplessly. The girl got such a harsh beating until she could not even stand up. When she recognized the person who helped her, her eyes widened as she looked at her savior. ¡°Chen Hao, is that you?¡± she cried. Chapter 406 Zhao Yifan’s Schemes Chapter 406 Zhao Yifan¡¯s Schemes ¡°Yeah, I never thought I would meet you here.¡± Chen Hao nodded. It was none other than Zhao Yifan. Chen Hao initially thought that they would never meet again. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. It had never urred to him that he would meet her while he was on the way to his sister¡¯s ce. After understanding her situation, Chen Hao felt sorry for her. If they had never met, she would never have received such a blow from him. She probably would be living a carefree and happy life. Especially after watching her getting beaten up by the man, he felt guilty. After all, he did not hate her. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine, you don¡¯t have to worry about me! I¡¯m just a loser right now. Why didn¡¯t you walk away and let him continue? Chen Hao, I¡¯m just a vain and materialistic girl. There¡¯s nothing I wouldn¡¯t do for money! I¡¯m a b*tch, so just let me go! ¡± Zhao Yifan was crying while she tried to crawl away from him. Chen Hao¡¯s heart softened. ¡°Why do you have to be like this, Zhao Yifan?¡± He shook his head helplessly. ¡°Chen Hao, just leave me alone! I¡¯m not worthy of you. Look at how I treated you before!¡± Judging on the current circumstances, Chen Hao¡¯s conscience would not be clear if he ignored her. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll bring you to your room. It¡¯ste, you ought to have a good rest.¡± Chen Hao turned around and signaled his men. They understood his instructions without a word and arranged a ship to wait for him at the quay. Then, Chen Hao helped Zhao Yifan to a hotel with a seaview nearby so she could rest. ¡°Rest well. I have to go now,¡± said Chen Hao. ¡°Please don¡¯t leave me!¡± All of a sudden, Zhao Yifan hugged Chen Hao from behind. ¡°Chen Hao, please don¡¯t leave me, please! I have so many things to tell you! In the end, you are the one who treats me the best! I know it was my fault before, and I know I am not good enough for you now. But can you take pity on me and keep mepany for a night, just for a while?¡± she implored, hugging him tightly in the process. Sigh! Chen Hao sighed and nodded his head.. However, he kept a distance with Zhao Yifan. Zhao Yifan was extremely pretty, but Chen Hao did not stoop to the level of an inhumane beast¡ªhe did not want to take any advantage of her. There was red wine in the hotel room. Zhao Yifan took one, opened a bottle and poured it into two sses. ¡°Will you have a drink with me, Chen Hao? Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t badger you. I know I was concerned about your identity and your status before. But after knowing who you actually are, I realized how ridiculous I was. You don¡¯t have to worry about me now, ¡± said Zhao Yifan. Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°You are injured, so it¡¯s better if you just rest.¡± ¡°My wounds are in my heart, not on my body. They say only alcohol can heal heartaches, don¡¯t they?¡± ¡°Alright, but I won¡¯t drink much. After this ss I am going back, my people are waiting for me.¡± He epted the ss from her. Chen Hao drank three sses of wine while listening to Zhao Yifan talk about her recent life. It was mainly because Zhao Yifan was alone in an unfamiliar ce. In addition to being her ex- ssmate, she was Ma Xiaonan¡¯s friend as well. She was already in such a pitiful state, so if he did not listen to her and give her some advice, he would feel bad about it. As Zhao Yifan became tipsy, Chen Hao stopped her immediately. ¡°That¡¯s all! Zhao Yifan, rest well. Have a good night¡¯s sleep and I¡¯m sure it will be fine the next day. I have some business to attend to, so I really have to go.¡± He then stood up. ¡°Ugh!¡± He felt a little dizzy, and his legs were weak. Chen Hao thought, The wine is this strong? Zhao Yifan hugged Chen Hao again. Chen Hao wanted to shove her away, but he did not have the energy to do so. He felt the world spinning around him and then he cked out on the bed. Zhao Yifan wiped her tears while clutching her abdomen. She took out her phone and sent a message. Someone knocked at the door immediately. Zhao Yifan opened the door and saw the man who beat her up earlier. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s done? I thought you were being saved by the young master?¡± he said cheekily. ¡°Take the money and disappear from my sight! I asked you to make it look real, but did you have to hit me this hard?¡± Zhao Yifan asked angrily. ¡°Well, you said we had to be convincing, or else how do we make this young master fall for it? He is unconscious right now, and you have nothing better to do. Why don¡¯t we...¡± His voice trailed off suggestively. ¡°Get lost!¡± Zhao Yifan red at the man in disgust and mmed the door. Indeed, all of it was just an act, a self-depreciating act to gain Chen Hao¡¯s trust and sympathy. It was a gamble for Zhao Yifan. When she knew Chen Hao¡¯s actual identity, Zhao Yifan¡¯s fantasiespletely vanished. She knew that after parting in Sichuan, they probably would never meet each other again. Just like this, she lost everything she could have owned. It was just a tiny step away from marrying into the top-ss society. She was not satisfied. In order to grab the final opportunity, Zhao Yifan left her team of servers and returned to Hong Kong. Zhao Yifan heard from the meeting that there were issues to be discussed, and deduced that Chen Hao would be bringing his men back to Hong Kong. She didn¡¯t know the location of the Chen Family in the Southern Region, but she knew where his sister lived. Hence, the act just now was all nned by her. She thought Chen Hao would note here anymore. But in the end, he still did. No one could understand Chen Hao better than Zhao Yifan. She did a thorough research on him. Chen Hao had a soft heart, especially to girls. He would always treat them gently. This was Zhao Yifan¡¯s breakthrough which led to the events that happened tonight. ¡°Don¡¯t me me, Chen Hao. I really want you!¡± Then, she took off her clothes slowly. The next morning at the main harbor in Hong Kong, a cruise ship was preparing to set sail. This was the ship for the expedition team. Most of the members had already boarded the ship. ¡°Mengmeng, see you after three days! I¡¯ll miss you!¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Of course I am!¡± Both Su Mengmeng and Wu Wenwen were flirting with their partners. Their boyfriends came to send them off. Only Su Tongxin stood anxiously at the harbor, waiting for Chen Hao. She kept calling his number non- stop. ¡°Sorry, the person that you called is unavable. Please try againter.¡± Su Tongxin had called him for more than twenty times since this morning. It seemed that his phone was switched off. ¡°Tongxin, why didn¡¯t Young Master Chene?¡± Su Mengmeng walked hand in hand with her boyfriend toward Su Tongxin. ¡°Ha! Do you really think it¡¯s easy dating a rich guy? She is probably not important to him anyway. I wonder whose bed he is in right now?¡± a girl sneered. ¡°Yang Huali, stop your nonsense! Remember, you are only here as our assistant to run our errands. Get it? Run. Our. Errands. And you only got in through connections. So do us a favor and shut up!¡± Wu Wenwen retaliated. Yang Huali¡¯s cheeks flushed with anger. ¡°Look, a sports car!¡± Right at this moment, a few guys on the cruise ship eximed excitedly, pointing to another direction. Chapter 407 Su Tongxin found out Chapter 407 Su Tongxin found out ¡°Sports car?¡± Upon hearing their conversation, she looked to the direction of the car immediately. She saw a sports car racing towards the harbor. Su Tongxin¡¯s heart pounded frantically. Chen Hao? Is it Chen Hao? Su Tongxin took a step forward. The car stopped in front of her. A young man clutching a bouquet of flowers walked out from the car. The romantic scene made the crowd gush with envy. ¡°Sorry Lili, I¡¯mte!¡± The young man took down his sunsses and smiled. ¡°Oh darling, don¡¯t be sorry. You rushed here from faraway to send me off, I am more than happy for that!¡± Yang Huali skipped and danced toward the man. Walking past Su Tongxin, she sneered, ¡°This is my boyfriend, what are you doing standing here? You thought it was your rich boyfriend?¡± Yang Huali¡¯s vanity was satiated. She initially thought the spotlight would be on Su Tongxin. After all, her boyfriend¡¯s background was too powerful. But it was exactly what she assumed¡ªpeople like Young Master Chen were way out of league for Su Tongxin. In the end, he didn¡¯t bother toe. It was all Su Tongxin''s wishful thinking. Even though Yang Huali lost to Su Tongxin in her career, her rtionship was better than hers. Of course she would gloat. ¡°Which rich man are you talking about?¡± Yang Huali¡¯s boyfriend held her hand and asked. ¡°Ha! Someone has an incredibly rich boyfriend, and imed that he is willing toe and send her off but he didn¡¯t even turn up!¡± Yang Huali purposely raised her voice. Su Tongxin almost burst into tears. It was not because of Yang Huali¡¯s jibes. Instead, it was because Chen Hao didn¡¯t pick up the phone and forgot the promise that he madest night. Is it possible that he doesn¡¯t love me anymore? Various thoughts raced in Su Tongxin¡¯s mind at this moment. ¡°Hand in your phones. For the crew members involved, verify your identity and board the ship!¡± At this time, a member from the expedition team announced. Su Tongxin and her team boarded the ship. When the ship set sail, Su Tongxin was hoping that a miracle would happen. Chen Hao will appear at thest second. He promised me that he wille. He had never lied to me. As the shore became further away from her sight and vanished into the horizon, Su Tongxin could not hold back her tears anymore. At the harbor, the crowd was starting to disperse. Just then, another sports car raced toward the harbor. The value of the sports car attracted everyone¡¯s attention. A young master and an elderly man walked down from the car. But there was no trace of the cruise ship anymore. Damn! Chen Hao punched the car angrily. He waste. On the way there, Chen Hao tried to call Su Tongxin, but her phone was switched off. He would have met her if he had reached earlier. Most importantly, he failed to keep his promises. Just this morning, when Chen Hao opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yifanying on top of him. Chen Hao knew that he was being framed. He scolded Zhao Yifan and rushed to the harbor immediately. Fu also waited for him the entire night. Chen Hao was guilt-stricken. If it weren¡¯t for his sympathetic nature, he wouldn¡¯t have fallen for Zhao Yifan¡¯s schemes. Chen Hao could imagine Su Tongxin¡¯s disappointed and anticipating expression before boarding the ship. His heart ached the more he thought of her. He finally sat down angrily at the harbor. He had no other choice apart from waiting for Su Tongxin to be back after a few days, and he would exin everything to her. ¡­¡­ A day passed by quickly. The cruise ship reached the deep sea at night. It was a tranquil night. They could hear the wind blowing outside. ¡°Tongxin, don¡¯t brood on what happened during the day anymore. It¡¯s been a tiring day. Come eat something!¡± Su Mengmeng took some food for her. Su Tongxin had been very down for the entire day. ¡°Okay.¡± Su Tongxin nodded. ¡°It¡¯s so boring here! Why did the team confiscate our phones?¡± Su Mengmeng seemed to have lost her soul without her phone around. ¡°Needless to say, I¡¯m sure they want to prevent the disclosure of confidential data of the expedition. They are so strict¡ªthey even took my watch away!¡± Wu Wenwen said. ¡°By the way, they imed that they are here to examine the quality of the ocean, but that didn¡¯t seem to be the case. They looked ruthless and cold, like soldiers,¡± Su Mengmeng analyzed, trying to distract Su Tongxin. ¡°Why did you say so?¡± Wu Wenwen asked, surprised. ¡°My brother is from the army, so I can tell. If it''s just examining the quality of the ocean, they wouldn¡¯t need so many strict procedures. Guess what I saw just now when I went to their meeting room to move some stuff?¡± Su Mengmeng lowered her voice and said. ¡°What?¡± Su Tongxin and Wu Wenwen raised their heads and asked. It was true that they noticed the expedition team being mysterious today. They spent a whole afternoon researching something anxiously. ¡°I saw a building n that they were using during the meeting. You reckon they are here to find some hidden castles under the sea?¡± Su Mengmengughed. Su Tongxin and Wu Wenwen looked at each other, speechless. It was getting more eerie as Su Mengmeng borated. ¡°Are you serious?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true, I am not joking! They even warned me sternly after that. I was shocked so I left immediately. ¡± Su Mengmeng stuck her tongue out. ¡°Well it¡¯s none of our business anyway. Let¡¯s just carry out our work responsibly!¡± Su Tongxin said wryly. Wu Wenwen and Su Mengmeng nodded. There were sudden footsteps approaching their room, followed by several knocks on the door. They opened the door and saw Yang Huali crossing her arms in front of them. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Su Mengmeng asked. ¡°I am just here to inform you that Professor Shen is starting a meeting soon!¡± Yang Huali announced indignantly. Su Mengmeng smiledcently. ¡°Sure, tell him we will be right there.¡± Yang Huali rolled her eyes and left. Professor Shen was the leader of the expedition team. In his seventies, he found some sponsors and formed this team. He was an experienced and strict academia. Su Tongxin respected him as he was very knowledgeable. Soon, everyone gathered in the meeting room. Including Su Tongxin and her team, there were a total of 32 members in the room. Nothing important was discussed. They merely emphasized on some issues to take note during this expedition. However, halfway through the meeting, Professor Shen suddenly coughed vigorously while scratching C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. his neck. As Su Tongxin was sitting next to Professor Shen, she shot a nce at the back of his neck nonchntly. And she froze at what she saw. Chapter 408 Accident Chapter 408 ident ¡°P-Professor Shen?¡± Su Tongxin gently enquired. ¡°Yes, Tongxin?¡± Professor Shen smiled warmly. ¡°There¡¯s a mark at the back of your neck.¡± If it was any other time, Su Tongxin would definitely pass it off as the after-effects of the scratches. However, the red mark on the back of the professor¡¯s neck looked vaguely familiar, hence she blurted out the question before thinking. ¡°A mark? What are you talking about?¡± Professor Shen smiled awkwardly. Su Tongxin was positive that the mark resembled the pendant that they were given in the parcels. ¡°I am serious, professor! It is exactly the same as the pendant!¡± Su Tongxin eximed, horrified. Everyone looked at each other and took out their pendants. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t know that everyone had the same thing,¡± Su Mengmeng said. ¡°Hmph?¡± After seeing the pendant, Professor Shen¡¯s expression changed drastically. He snatched the pendant away from Su Tongxin¡¯s hands and looked at the pendants that everyone took out. Blood drained from his face. ¡°Tongxin, the mark at the back of my neck, is it the same as this?¡± Professor Shen asked fearfully, as if something horrible had happened. Bewildered, Su Tongxin had no idea what was going on. She just nodded. ¡°What? I thought this pendant was only given to important members. I didn¡¯t know that everyone has it!¡± ¡°Professor Shen, what on earth is this pendant? I just received it yesterday¡ªsomeone mailed it to me!¡± Looking at Professor Shen¡¯s expressions, something was definitely off. A shiver ran down everyone¡¯s spines. After all, it was midnight, and they were in the middle of the sea. The fact that there were many people on board didn¡¯t help to lessen the eerie atmosphere. ¡°It¡¯s back! I have never¡­ I have never thought that their target is us this time!¡± Professor Shen said with trembling hands. ¡°What do you mean, professor?¡± Su Tongxin asked. ¡°I-It¡¯s all my fault! I brought this upon everyone!¡± Taking off his sses, Professor Shen lost control of hisposure. ¡°This is the logo of the League of the Sun, also known as the Death League! It appeared twice, forty years and twenty years ago. I didn¡¯t know that it appeared this time too! Whoever receives this logo will disappear mysteriously within three days! I¡¯ve been investigating this for decades but I still don¡¯t understand how it happens!¡± Professor Shen was aghast. After hearing Professor Shen¡¯s exnation, horror crept into everyone¡¯s hearts. After all, Professor Shen rarely joked and his knowledge was extensive. The whole scenario was mystifying and unbelievable. There was a grave look on his face. ¡°Hurry up, let¡¯s turn back and abort the current expedition! Let¡¯s go back immediately!¡± Professor Chen stood up. Someone already gave the same instructions before he did. However, the person ran back to the room hurriedly. ¡°P-P-Professor Shen, this is bad! This is very bad!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Please¡­ please take a look outside! R-Right in front of the ship¡ª¡± The person ran out of breath. Professor Shen immediately brought a group of students out to the deck. Su Tongxin and Su Mengmeng went out together too. When they reached the deck, they saw Professor Shen and his students standing there looking stunned. Upon closer inspection, Su Mengmeng screamed. A huge vortex appeared right in front of the ship. It was like a gigantic ck hole that could swallow everything¡ªdeep and dark! Even though the ship was trying its best to escape the current predicament, it still could not escape the pull of the vortex. ¡°Quick! Go back to the cabin!¡± Professor Shen bellowed. Kaboom! At that instant, waves upon waves rose up high in the sky and crashed to the deck turbulently. The waves were so enormous that theypletely obscured the sky and the sun. The rumbling of the sea was like thunder rolling in the sky. The impact was many times stronger than a tsunami. Everyone¡¯s shrieks were engulfed by it. Boom! The sound of screams and waves were mixed together. The cruise ship was getting sucked into the vortex at a visible speed. The night sky was dark, but the sea was even darker and deeper. When everything returned to normal, a massive creature swam quietly under the deep sea. A strange logo shed; it somehow resembled the burning sun. The next day. ¡°Is Young Master Chen up?¡± On the ind which Chen Xiao booked, Fu hurriedly came to Chen Hao¡¯s room with a few documents. ¡°He is up and in good spirits today. We¡¯ve also made arrangements to go out to the sea,¡± a maid All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. replied respectfully. The door opened. Chen Hao was walking out of the room. ¡°Uncle Fu, good morning! I am preparing to set off to the sea today to try to reach Tongxin. We¡¯ll only go back to the Southern Region tomorrow. If you don¡¯t have any errands to run, let¡¯s go together!¡± Chen Hao could not reach Su Tongxin yesterday. As it was just an expedition to analyze the sea water, they shouldn¡¯t be very far. It would be perfect if he could catch up to them and exin to her. ¡°No, you can¡¯t go now, Young Master Chen!¡± Fu said with a grim expression. ¡°Why not?¡± ¡°Cruise ship No.2 had an ident yesterday in the region of Nanyang waters. The authorities have sealed that area and they''re searching for it right now.¡± ¡°Cruise ship No.2?¡± Chen Hao froze. ¡°It is the one Miss Tongxin was on. There was a tsunami yesterday, and the ship sank,¡± Fu exined weakly. ¡°What?¡± Chen Hao was shocked. His heart felt like it was wrenched by someone. ¡°Where are they?¡± Chen Hao asked anxiously. ¡°The excavation process is ongoing, but they still haven¡¯t found any traces of the ship.¡± ¡°No, I must be involved in this!¡± After speaking, Chen Hao immediately ran out. Fu shook his head helplessly. He dialed a number on his phone. ¡°Immediately alert the Special Marine Support Team of the Chen Family! Yes, exactly like what I told you at dawn just now! Mission starts!¡± Fu followed Chen Hao after giving out the instructions. He had watched Chen Hao growing up. Hence, he knew his character very well. Chen Hao was very empathetic and caring, and he took rtionships seriously. He treated both his ex- girlfriend, Yang Xia, and his current girlfriend, Su Tongxin, very well. Now that Su Tongxin met an ident like this, it was considered lucky that Young Master Chen didn¡¯t break down. Fu used the power of the Chen Family to investigate this matter immediately. He was worried that Chen Hao might act impetuously. Chen Hao was on the boat all day, joining the search team. They had almost looked under each grain of sand in the sea, but it was futile. No matter how hard they looked, not a single trace of the ship was to be seen. In the evening, many more ships and boats were sent to look for the victims. Chen Hao sat at the harbor with a vacant expression, mourning for Su Tongxin. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault! Why did I let youe to Hong Kong?! If you didn¡¯te here, this ident would not have happened! If I kept my promise yesterday, I could still see you onest time before this happened!¡± Chen Hao was beating himself up. Ziyue, who was holding a te of rice, and Fang Mengxin were by his side as well. Ziyue felt sorry for Chen Hao as he had not been eating for a day. ¡°What are you doing? Get away from here!¡± As Ziyue came to urge Chen Hao to eat something, amotion arose. A bodyguard dressed in ck ran to Chen Hao. ¡°Young Master Chen, a girl iming that she was Miss Tongxin''s ssmate wants to meet you.¡± Chapter 409 The Meeting Chapter 409 The Meeting ¡°Let her in!¡± Chen Hao stood up. A few bodyguards brought a girl in. The girl was shy and shocked by the situation here. It was because thousands of sports cars flocked the harbor and there were a few thousand bodyguards dressed in ck too. Who would dare to get close to this ce? ¡°You are Tongxin''s boyfriend, Young Master Chen Hao?¡± she asked. ¡°Yup.¡± he nodded. ¡°I am Ma Nan, Tongxin¡¯s good friend. I know you are investigating the ident. I can give you some information about it. Do you think it will help your case?¡± she asked. ¡°Go ahead,¡± Chen Hao said. ¡°On the night before yesterday, I helped Tongxin, Mengmeng, and Wenwen to retrieve their parcels. There were three identical pendants in it. We thought they were souvenirs from the expedition team, but the pendants exuded an eerie aura. They sent chills down our spines and we wondered why the team sent such presents,¡± Ma Nan said. ¡°I was the host of an event yesterday. Coincidentally, one of the participants was Professor Chen¡¯s student. Professor Chen was the leader of the expedition. During the break, we chatted with each other and I asked him about the pendant. He told me that the team would never send anything like that, and they did not have such souvenirs too. I felt something was off. In addition to that, there was no sender¡¯s address written on the parcels. Hence, I told him the shape of the pendant,¡± Ma Nan continued. ¡°He then showed me the chat history for their group. Those involved in the expedition were discussing it as well. Apparently, they also received the same thing. I find the whole situation really odd. I can¡¯t help wondering about the person who sent them the pendants. Who would do that?¡± ¡°Miss, what does the pendant look like? Do you have pictures? Can you show them to me please? ¡± Fu walked over and asked. ¡°Of course, I saved the pictures!¡± Ma Nan nodded. She showed her phone to Fu. Chen Hao also looked at the picture. After looking at the picture, Fu trembled slightly. ¡°This again?¡± he eximed in aghast. ¡°What is this, Uncle Fu?¡± Chen Hao asked curiously. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Fu exined, ¡°Young Master Chen, this is a spooky pendant. It showed up twenty years ago. Lady Mengxin, I assumed you still remember this?¡± Fu looked at Fang Mengxin as she walked toward them. She looked at it and said, ¡°Yes, I do remember this. I felt odd when Pingan showed it to me years ago. He thought our ns to elope were found out by others and they sent this as a warning. At that time, we shrugged it off. But he disappeared the next day!¡± Fu said, ¡°When the Second Young Master disappeared, all hell broke loose in the Chen Family. We thought the Fang Family schemed to kill him. Master Chen was extremely furious. Since then, the seeds of dispute were sowed between both families. After investigating for decades, Master Chen concluded that the Fang Family at that time was not powerful enough to harm the Second Young Master. But who would it be, if not the Fang Family? After many years of investigation, Master Chen denied the Fang Family¡¯s involvement in the case, and agreed that it was rted to this logo instead. This was also the reason why he asked Chen Hao to look for Lady Mengxin and Ziyue instead of looking for them himself. After all, the grudges between Master Chen and the Fang Family were too strong in all these years. This was too big a misunderstanding!¡± Fu frowned. ¡°Who would have thought that the sign will emerge again after two decades!¡± ¡°Who is the mastermind behind this? Pingan was the victim, and now Tongxin. What on earth does he want?¡± Fang Mengxin asked with tears in her eyes. ¡°How about we let Master Chen decide on this? Why don''t we go back to the Southern Region together, Young Master Chen?¡± Fu asked. ¡°You guys go ahead. Let me know if there are any updates about this. I will stay here for now,¡± Chen Hao said. Chen Hao would not be happy with himself if he left like this. Fu and Fang Mengxin took their leave. Chen Hao, on the other hand, continued to look for Su Tongxin at the area where the ident took ce. Three days¡­ Four days¡­ Ten days had passed. Even though Chen Hao tried his very best and used every possible way he had thought of, he still couldn¡¯t find any traces of the cruise ship. ¡°Tongxin, where are you? I don¡¯t believe that you are gone just like this! I don¡¯t believe it!¡± he screamed hysterically and grabbed his hair. Memories of the times he spent with Tongxin flitted across his mind. He knew that Tongxin had tried her best in order to be together with him. In the afternoon, Chen Hao sat alone on the shore and looked into the distance vacantly. Just then, his phone rang. It turned out to be his sister, Chen Xiao. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Chen Hao smiled slightly and asked, ¡°Sis, are you back to the Southern Region? Is everything going smoothly?¡± These two days, after hearing about Su Tongxin¡¯s ident, Chen Xiao went to Hong Kong to apany Chen Hao. She also told him about Tongxin¡¯s time in Hong Kong. But she left hurriedly yesterday because there were family matters to be settled back home. ¡°Well, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. We are having an annual family meeting tomorrow. You have not been back for twenty-two years, so father wants you to attend this time. There are some matters that he wants to speak with you personally too,¡± Chen Xiao told him. Chen Hao threw a rock in the sea and nodded. ¡°Alright, I will go back tomorrow.¡± At a huge ind in the Southern Region. The buildings there resembled castles from the middle age and the views were magnificent. It was the day of the annual meeting held by the owner of the ind, the Chen Family. Everyone in the family returned from all corners of the world. As the Chen Family was very big and had many separate branches, thousands of people flocked together to attend the meeting. The ind had no problem amodating tens of thousands of people; a mere few thousand people did not raise any problems. Fu led Chen Hao into the family. This was actually his first time going home. He was quite overwhelmed. The Chen Family in the Southern Region was a lot bigger than his sister¡¯s small ind. Needless to say, it was full of people. As the head of the family, his father was busy with the arrivals of everyone. Fu wanted to notify his parents that Young Master Chen was finally back to the Chen Family, but they were very busy entertaining the guests. ¡°That¡¯s okay, Uncle Fu. Let¡¯s wait for them to finish entertaining the guests. You carry on with what you¡¯re busy with. I¡¯ll go find sis in the meantime.¡± Chen Hao stopped Fu from interrupting his parents. Fu nodded and left. Chen Hao then called his sister, Chen Xiao, who told him that she was on her way there. He just had to wait for a while. Bored, Chen Hao sat alone on the ind, looking out into the distant sea again. ¡°Hey, Bingbing, I thought you are looking for a ball boy? Look, there¡¯s a douchebag sitting there for quite some time. Why don¡¯t we ask him to pick the balls for us?¡± A few girls, around 18 to 19 years old and several others, around 26 and 27 years old, were ying tennis in pairs. It was usually the adults who were involved in the annual meeting. For younger people like them, they took it as an opportunity to y and eat. ¡°Sure, let¡¯s ask him toe over!¡± the girl named Bingbing slinged a tennis racquet over her shoulder, said aggressively while pointing at the guy who sat dazedly. Chapter 410 Miss Shen Chapter 410 Miss Shen ¡°Hey!¡± While Chen Hao was immersed in his thoughts, a girl walked up to him. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± he asked, looking at her. She was rather pretty and seemed to be around seventeen years old. She looked entric and mischievous. ¡°Don¡¯t you have anyone to hang out with?¡± she asked, arms on her hips. ¡°No.¡± Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°Aw, poor thing. Bingbing asked me to invite you over as our ball boy. We can y together!¡± she said. ording to Chen Xiao, the Chen Family was huge and their rtionships were quiteplicated. It was normal for younger rtives to not recognize each other. ¡°Why are you sulking alone over here? If you have something on your mind, it would be worse sitting alone, dwelling on it. Why don¡¯t youe over and pick the balls for us? You will forget about everything when you be tired,¡± she continued. ¡°Ha-ha,¡± Chen Haoughed weakly. He thought about it and suddenly realized that what she said made sense. He would have to distract himself in order to stop dwelling on the same problem. ¡°All right, I¡¯ll be your ball boy.¡± Chen Hao agreed. ¡°That¡¯s great! Bingbing, he¡¯s here to pick up balls for us!¡± the girl said vindictively. ¡°That¡¯s good. Sisters, let¡¯s continue our game. There¡¯s someone to pick up balls now!¡± Chen Bingbing said excitedly and yed with them excitedly. Just then, Chen Bingbing and her friends stopped ying as a youngdy walked toward them. She looked very elegant and graceful, with extremely beautiful features too. She seemed to be around 26 years old. Although the group of girls was also good-looking, their beauty could not bepared to the young Even the female celebrities were not as beautiful as her. Most of the people who saw her nodded and greeted her respectfully. ¡°Miss Shen, you¡¯re here!¡± Chen Bingbing and her friends eximed. ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s gettingte now, and the meeting is starting soon. Bingbing, stop ying and lead Niuniu and the rest into the hall,¡± she said gently. ¡°Roger, Miss Shen!¡± Chen Bingbing and her friends nodded. Throwing the balls to a corner, she left. As the ball rolled to a side and stopped in a pile of bushes with thorns, Chen Hao subconsciously went to pick it up. Chen Hao wasn¡¯t paying attention, so he lost his bnce and fell in the bushes. His arms, face, and clothes were cut by the thorns. ¡°Oh no, that guy fell into the bushes!¡± Niuniu, the girl who invited Chen Hao, eximed. ¡°So be it. His reflexes are much slower than other people. Serves him right. Let¡¯s go!¡± Bingbing sneered and smiled at Miss Shen before leaving with a few of her friends. Chen Hao picked the ball up and sat down bitterly. It never rains but it pours, he thought. He touched his wounded face. It hurt a little. A few passers-byughed at his predicament. Chen Hao did not bother to care anymore; ifughing at him made their days better, then so be it. ¡°Your face is injured. You have to disinfect it!¡± Right at this moment, ady came to him. She bent down and gave him a piece of tissue paper. ¡°Thank you!¡± Chen Hao raised his head and saw the woman whom Bingbing and her friends called ¡®Miss Shen¡¯. Their gaze met, and he lowered his head embarrassingly. She was beautiful. ¡°And your elbows too! They are bleeding!¡± She took out another piece of tissue and wiped his wounds gently. ¡°Why are you so careless? Which branch of the family do you belong to? Where are your siblings?¡± she asked him gently while wiping the injuries on his face. ¡°I-I don¡¯t know which branch I belong to!¡± Chen Hao said. Miss Shen smiled wryly. ¡°I will ask some doctors to patch you up shortly. We don¡¯t want you getting infections, do we?¡± ¡°Thanks, but no thanks!¡± Without any usible reason, Miss Shen felt affection toward this young man and wanted to care for him even though she did not know who he was. It was a weird feeling. ¡°Young mistress, the meeting is starting soon. Let¡¯s go!¡± At this time, a maid standing behind Miss Shen reminded her. ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll take our leave for now.¡± She greeted Chen Hao and departed. ¡°Young mistress? So she was married into our family!¡± Chen Hao said as he wiped his face. He then thought, Whoever takes such a gentle woman as his wife will definitely lead a blissful life! Just then, Chen Hao¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Bro, I was looking for you just now! Where did you go? Why can¡¯t I find you anywhere?¡± ¡°Oh, I was picking up balls for some kids just now!¡± he said bitterly. ¡°What? You became a ball boy for someone else? Oh my god! Anyway, the meeting is starting soon, and father just asked me if you have arrived. I told him I was still looking for you. I am at the main hall right now. Ask the servants to bring you here quickly!¡± his sister instructed exasperatedly. ¡°Noted. I¡¯ll just follow the girls then,¡± he replied. His parents and his sister were the spotlight of the day, hence they were very busy. Naturally, he didn¡¯t want to add on to their burdens. Just then, he saw Niuniu and her friends in front of him and followed them. ¡°Bingbing, did you see that douchebag following us?¡± Niuniu turned her head and said. ¡°Could it be his first time attending the family meeting here? He might be lost,¡± Chen Bingbing wondered aloud. She stopped and asked Chen Hao, ¡°Are you lost?¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°I knew it. Well, in that case you can join us. Get in the car, I¡¯ll bring you to the meeting hall. But you can¡¯t ride with us in the same car. You have to join my servants in thest car,¡± she said haughtily. Chen Bingbing was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was no stranger to good-looking, rich guys, locally and internationally. It was natural that she looked down on mediocre people like Chen Hao, who looked as if it was their first time in a city. ¡°Whatever.¡± He nodded nonchntly and joined the servants in the same car to go to the main hall of the Chen Family. Apart from the core members of the Chen Family, there were no assigned seatings. The rest of the family members usually sat in groups with their families during the meeting. They reached a huge, outdoor arena with a tform in the center. People who were sitting on the tform were the important members of the Chen Family. Chen Bingbing and her friends could only sit in a corner. Chen Hao simply found an empty seat and sat down before calling his sister. Just then, a middle-aged couple appeared on the main table on the tform, and thunderous apuse rang throughout the arena. Standing behind them were two youngdies. One of them was Chen Hao¡¯s sister, Chen Xiao, and the Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. couple was Chen Hao¡¯s parents. ¡°Lan,e sit next to me!¡± The woman held Miss Shen¡¯s hands affectionately and signaled Shen Lan to sit beside her. ¡°Alright, mom.¡± Lan nodded. ¡°Lan, it¡¯s been hard on you in our Chen Family these years, trying to learn everything. On top of that, you have to cover for that useless son of ours and manage the family¡¯s finance. I should have introduced you to him earlier, but you know very well that his identity has to be kept secret. And he is still not here when he should be!¡± the woman sighed and apologized. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be sorry for me. I am already very happy and content to grow up in the Chen Family.¡± The woman nodded and turned to Chen Xiao. ¡°Xiao, go fetch your brother here!¡± Chapter 411 The Return of the Young Master Chapter 411 The Return of the Young Master Chen Hao sent a message to his sister as he was sitting down. ¡°Oh my, when did the Chen Family drop their standards? Why does it seem that anyone can attend the meeting? I mean, look at this guy!¡± A woman who was wearing thick makeup sat next to Chen Hao and rolled her eyes at him. ¡°I thought after marrying into the famous Chen Family, the people I meet would be officers and businessmen. Who knew I would be sharing a table with a person like this? Ha!¡± she grumbled softly. It was obvious that she was married into the Chen Family and looked down on Chen Hao. The fact that Chen Hao sat next to her made her feel ashamed. She deliberately said it out loud so that Chen Hao could hear her. ¡°Alright, enough. Even though everyone is rich here, not everyone is educated. Some are just uneducated swines as they wanted to be a nouveau riche. Don¡¯t take it to your heart!¡± her husband exined, mocking Chen Hao in the process. He obviously thought Chen Hao was a disgrace to their table. A few other people were throwing insults at Chen Hao as well. As Chen Hao was just sitting next to Chen Bingbing, and the couple were saying everything loudly, Chen Bingbing frowned and said, ¡°Someone who is just a lowly actress who married into our family had no right tough at members of the Chen Family? Does she even know what she looks like?¡± ¡°Excuse me? Who are you calling ¡®lowly¡¯?¡± the woman demanded. It was obvious that Chen Bingbing was talking about her. ¡°Stop feigning ignorance! You know very well who we are talking about,¡± Niuniu sneered. They seemed to have grudges against each other. ¡°Alright, stop fighting with them.¡± The man stopped his wife just in time. ¡°Look at you. The Chen Family is so big, yet you don¡¯t have any respected position among them. They are just two young girls, yet they were given the VVIP treatment when we went travelling together. For us, we were only given the VIP treatment¡ªa grade lower than them! Now they areughing at me, and you don¡¯t even dare to retaliate!¡± the womanined. ¡°I don¡¯t have any other options. Their family status is much higher than mine. There are many rules in the Chen Family, and the position of each family is one of the most important rules. Regardless of our age, we have to respect the family members of the branch higher than us. If Young Master Chen is here, even my grandfather has to bow to him,¡± the man exined helplessly. ¡°Do you know Young Master Chen then? It would be very useful for us if you know him. He will inherit the Chen Family after all!¡± the woman asked quickly. ¡°Young Master Chen ising back to the Chen Family today. I assume the purpose of the meeting today is to wee him. I am not in any position to meet him though,¡± the man replied forlornly. ¡°Hmph! You¡¯re useless!¡± the woman scoffed arrogantly. It was obvious that she saw Chen Bingbing brought Chen Hao to their table just now. She thought Bingbing did that on purpose to insult her and became increasingly angry as she thought about it. ¡°I want to change seats¡ªI don¡¯t want to sit with him! Look at him, what he''s wearing only costs around ten thousands. I¡¯m sure he is a distant rtive of the Chen Family. What a disgrace!¡± She shot a nce at Chen Hao and stood up. Just then, she suddenly let out a loud shriek. While she was in a heated argument with Chen Bingbing, she moved about and her long dressnded near Chen Hao¡¯s feet. Chen Hao did not pay any attention to it and gently stepped on her dress just a little bit. It was not a big deal, but it angered her. ¡°You b*stard! You did it on purpose!¡± she suddenly shouted at Chen Hao. ¡°No, it wasn¡¯t on purpose! I didn¡¯t notice your dress,¡± Chen Hao exined bitterly. ¡°Bullshit! Chen Bingbing brought you here to infuriate me! Didn¡¯t you notice that I was insulting you indirectly all this while? Yet you still have the audacity to continue sitting here. Get lost!¡± She gave a shove and a cup of tea in front of Chen Hao fell on him. Chen Hao¡¯s clothes were drenched; there were also tea leaves on his body. ¡°Ding Xianger, you insolent fool! How dare you be rude to people from the Chen Family!¡± Chen Bingbing could not take it anymore. She stood up and confronted the woman. ¡°So what? What can you do about it?¡± Ding Xianger retaliated. Both of them were deep in the argument, unaware of the surroundings. Little did they know that everyone was eye-ing them quietly. ¡°Bro!¡± A young woman appeared. As her voice rang, Ding Xianger and Bingbing stopped their quarrel instantly. She was none other than Young Lady Chen, Chen Xiao. ¡°Sis!¡± Chen Hao replied while trying to get rid of the tea stains on his suit helplessly. Sis? Everyone stood rooted to the ground, stunned by the scene unfolding in front of them. If Chen Xiao was his sister, then who was this guy? ¡°Who did this? I guess whoever dared to insult Young Master Chen is sick of living!¡± Chen Xiao said sternly. Everyone in the Chen Family around them shuddered. Ding Xianger and Chen Bingbing widened their eyes incredulously. What? Young Master Chen? H-H-He actually is Young Master Chen? C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. A shiver ran down Ding Xianger¡¯s spine. ¡°I-I¡­ Young Lady Chen, I¡¯m sorry, I-I didn¡¯t know¡­¡± Ding Xianger shook her head vehemently. ¡°You? Get lost!¡± Chen Xiao said mercilessly. ¡°Yes, Young Lady Chen, I¡¯m leaving right now.¡± Ding Xianger knew she was in deep trouble. She did not dare to stay any longer so she turned to walk away immediately. ¡°Wait, I want you to roll out of here. Are you clear?¡± Chen Xiao added. As soon as the words ¡®out¡¯ came out from Chen Xiao¡¯s mouth, Ding Xianger understood what it meant for her. Ding Xianger knew once she stepped out, she would no longer be a part of the Chen Family. Even though she regretted her actions, the greatest emotion in Ding Xianger right now was panic. And she really didy on the floor and roll out of that ce in front of the crowd. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Hao!¡± Chen Xiao then smiled at Chen Hao. Without any exceptions, Chen Bingbing and her entire group of friends covered their mouths in shock; they didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. They thought he was just a dumb fool and bullied him. They even asked him to pick up balls for twenty minutes straight! They were at a loss for words after knowing his true identity. ¡°So he was Young Master Chen, Chen Hao!¡± The crowd was discussing among themselves as Chen Hao was walking to the tform. A round of apuse reverberated throughout the arena. Young Master Chen had finally returned to the Chen Family! Chen Jindong and his wife stood jubntly. There was nothing happier than seeing their sone back. ¡°Dad! Mom!¡± Chen Hao was also touched to see his parents after a year. Tears welled up in his eyes as he ran toward them. ¡°Son, you¡¯re finally back! From now onward, our family isplete!¡± Chen Jindong patted Chen Hao¡¯s shoulder. They were instantly chatting among themselves, catching up with each other. ¡°By the way, Hao, all these years while you were doing your poverty education, there¡¯s someone you¡¯ve not met!¡± His mother, Yang Yuping, held Chen Hao¡¯s hands and looked at a blushingdy next to her. ¡°Mom, we¡¯ve met just now!¡± Shen Lan stood up, looked at Chen Hao and said gently. ¡°Mom?¡± Chen Hao looked nkly at Shen Lan when he heard her calling his mother ¡®mom¡¯. Chapter 412 They Might be Alive Chapter 412 They Might be Alive ¡°Chen Hao, even though we have never mentioned Lan to you, she has been in charge of your finances for all these years. And we raised her since she was a young child too!¡± his mother hinted. Even though his mother did not explicitly mention it, Chen Hao understood her implied meaning. After all, he heard other people greeting Shen Lan as ¡®Young Mistress¡¯ just now. He understood everything after looking at his parents¡¯ expressions. ¡°Mom, we¡¯ve met just now!¡± Shen Lan smiled at Chen Hao. ¡°You guys have met before? That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good. Chen Hao, she is your fianc¨¦e!¡± Chen Jindong pointed out directly. It was clear that he was in high spirits today. His mother, Yang Yuping, nudged Chen Jindong. After all, Chen Hao had a girlfriend, and she was involved in an ident not long ago. They knew about the incident better than anyone else. It seemed way too early to be discussing their marriage now. Even though it was expected, Chen Hao was still shocked. He couldn¡¯t imagine the gentle Miss Shen was actually his fianc¨¦e. No wonder everyone was calling her ¡®Young Mistress¡¯. Shen Lan was what they called a ¡®child bride¡¯. The Chen Family took her in since she was young and raised her with the intentions of marrying her to their son, Chen Hao. She was almost four years older than him. It had never ured to Chen Hao that this would happen to him. He thought it only happened in television dramas. It also seemed like the Chen Family put a lot of effort in raising Shen Lan. ¡°Please take a seat, Hao!¡± Slightly blushing, Shen Lan asked Chen Hao to sit and took out a tissue to wipe the tea stains off him. ¡°That¡¯s fine, Miss Shen. Let me do it myself!¡± Chen Hao felt awkward and took the tissue from her. They had never met each other, hence they had not built up any form of rtionship. On top of that, she was three or four years older than him. Even though she was extremely good-looking, Chen Hao could not dismiss the weird feeling that he had, especially after the meeting. Chen Hao actually had his own room, but Shen Lan had been living there for years. It was his mother who made the arrangements. Just a few days ago, when his sister told him about Su Tongxin¡¯s life in Hong Kong, she mentioned that his rtionship with Tongxin had huge obstacles¡ªhis parents would never ept them. He did not understand what she meant at that time. Now he understood¡ªthey had already arranged his marriage. ¡°Lan, I will be sleeping in another room; you are used to staying in this room, so please continue to do so. I¡¯m sure you must be exhausted after today¡¯s meeting. Rest well and don¡¯t get yourself busy with the errands anymore,¡± he said hurriedly as he was shocked when he saw that Shen Lan was going to make his bed. He didn¡¯t know what to tell her next. ¡°Hao, I understand your feelings. You might find it hard to ept our arranged marriage. I¡¯ve also heard from the servants about your life outside Chen Family, and I know you will not give up looking for her. I will help you in this!¡± Shen Lan said. He was not expecting this from Shen Lan. He nodded and said, ¡°Thank you, Lan!¡± He stood in the room for a while before walking out. He felt guilty about Su Tongxin¡¯s ident. He really had no mood to be involved in a rtionship with another girl now. As long as Su Tongxin was still missing, Chen Hao could not stop thinking about her. In fact, this was unfair to Shen Lan too. It was true that the Chen Family raised Shen Lan, but she should be given an opportunity to make her own decision. Why ask her to face a guy who has no feelings toward her, and who is a few years younger? Chen Hao simply found a guest room and spent the night there. When he opened his eyes the next day, he saw three suits, each of different color, being ced neatly on his bed. There were a pair of leather shoes too. It was the first day of his family reunion. After returning to the Chen Family, he wouldn¡¯t have to live a low profile life like he used to. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. He wanted to dress up and look like someone befitting his status. But he was both mentally and physically exhaustedst night and couldn¡¯t bother to instruct his servants. He never would have thought that everything was all prepared for him. In his pyjamas, he walked to the washroom and saw that the toiletries were also prepared for him. It was no wonder that the Chen Family was one of the most wealthy families in the world. The servants at Chen Family took a lot of effort in housekeeping. However, Chen Hao felt a little embarrassed that they prepared all these while he was sleeping. Wait a minute, did the maids enter my room while I slept? Goosebumps appeared on his arms. Knock knock! Someone knocked on his door. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s me, Hong. I would just like to ask¡ªwhat clothes do you prefer? I shall go prepare for you.¡± Chen Hao opened the door. The maid Hong was waiting for him outside. ¡°I¡¯m good, thank you. The clothes here suit me. Weren¡¯t you the one who prepared these?¡± Chen Hao was confused. Hong shook her head. ¡°Without your permission, we aren¡¯t allowed to enter your room when you are sleeping. Oh, I know! It must be the Young Mistress! When I woke up at 5am this morning, the lights in the Young Mistress¡¯s room were lit. Only she can enter your room.¡± ¡°It was Shen Lan?¡± Chen Hao understood the situation and asked Hong to carry on her duties. He sighed and thought of finding an opportunity to clear everything up with Shen Lanter. It was impossible for them to be together. She was already around 27 years old. She should find her own happiness! She didn¡¯t have to marry him just to repay the Chen Family''s kindness for raising her up. After grooming, Chen Hao changed into his clothes. Embarrassingly, he didn¡¯t know how to wear a tie. It was crooked no matter how many times he tried. ¡°Let me help you, Hao!¡± Shen Lan stood at his door and smiled at him. He had no idea how long she had been standing there. Chen Hao looked into the mirror and saw his crooked tie, so he decided to not reject her help. Shen Lan walked toward him, smiling. She then carefully smoothed his cor and helped him with his tie deftly. ¡°Father is throwing a feast to wee you and Ziyueter today. It¡¯s our first reunion meal, so let¡¯s get going.¡± It was natural that everyone in the Chen family had their own mansion with a great view. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s perfect. My dad has some issues to discuss with me,¡± he said. Shen Lan then drove both of them to their father¡¯s ce. When they arrived, his mother pulled Shen Lan aside to chat with her happily. She obviously liked her very much. Chen Hao, on the other hand, followed his father to the study. ¡°Hao, I already know about Su Tongxin¡¯s ident. Don¡¯t be upset. I¡¯m afraid it isn¡¯t as simple as an ident.¡± Chen Jindong went straight to the topic. ¡°What do you mean, dad?¡± Chen Jindong took a deep breath and continued, ¡°I¡¯ve looked at the logo Su Tongxin received before the ident, and it was exactly the same as the one your Uncle Pingan received years ago. Their cases are simr as well¡ªboth of them disappeared as if they¡¯ve evaporated from this world. No one managed to track any trails down. But I¡¯ve found clues after investigating it for around seven to eight years. Son, Su Tongxin and your uncle might still be alive!¡± Chen Jindong suddenly said in a low voice. ¡°Are you serious, dad?¡± Chen Hao¡¯s eyes lit up. Chapter 413 The Mo Family Chapter 413 The Mo Family ¡°This is the main reason I am speaking to you today. You are grown up now, you should know the secrets Chen Family held.¡± Chen Jindong patted his son¡¯s shoulder. ¡°This sign is a curse. It is known as the League of the Sun. Whoever receives it will meet misfortunes in less than three days! It has happened twenty years ago, with Uncle Pingan. And this incident is happening to Su Tongxin right now,¡± Chen Jindong said. ¡°Uncle Fu told me that this curse appears every twenty years. Each time it emerges, someone will go missing. So far, no one had made it out alive,¡± Chen Hao stated. Chen Jindong shook his head. ¡°Fu only got half of it right. Technically speaking, for those who received the pendant, it¡¯s true all of them disappeared. But I found a survivor who came back even after receiving it!¡± Chen Hao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°That person gave me hints about the entire incident. Hence, I concluded that Uncle Pingan and Su Tongxin were caught.¡± ¡°They were caught? Who would even want to catch them?¡± Hope sparked in Chen Hao. ¡°That we don¡¯t know yet. But since it happened again without any trace, I¡¯m afraid that even the power of the Chen Family is not enough to investigate it.¡± Chen Hao nodded. ¡°I understand, dad. Are you looking for the person who survived the curse?¡± Chen Jindong shook his head andughed bitterly. ¡°Even after escaping, he only lived for another fifteen year and he died six years ago. Who we need is, the family that saved him back then. If they are willing to help us, it will save us a lot of trouble!¡± He looked at Chen Hao and continued, ¡°Son, do you know which family is the most powerful as of now?¡± ¡°The Fang Family was once affluent. But I heard from Uncle Fu that we, the Chen Family, is dominant now.¡± ¡°Yes, he is right. Chen Family is the wealthiest, but overall, there are a few other families stronger than us, such as the Mo Family in Yan Jing.¡± ¡°The Mo Family?¡± Chen Hao had heard of the Qin Family and the Long Family in Yan Jing, but not the Mo Family. He was amazed to hear about them. After chatting with his father this time, Chen Hao found out about a lot of things which he never knew. ¡°Yes, the person was saved by the people from the Mo Family. As for the Mo family, they have abnormal people whom we could never imagine. That is their strength¡ªthey are much stronger than ordinary people. Hence, they are involved in the military, and they are also one of the most mysterious families in China. This alone, makes them unrivaled in the country!¡± Chen Jindong continued. ¡°If they want, they could assassinate anyone without notice, including us, despite the fact that we are heavily guarded. For the past few years, the Chen Family has been actively hiring the best trained professionals in order not to feel threatened by them, but our gap seems to be getting wider and wider.¡± Chen Hao was bbergasted. If it wasn¡¯ting from his father, he couldn¡¯t even imagine that this could be true. But he was not appalled either. Some people whom he had met, like the Dragon Tiger brothers, and Uncle Qin¡ªQin Bufan¡ªwere people whom the ordinary person could never imagine. ¡°What about the dragon tiger brothers,pared to the Mo family?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°The dragon tiger brothers? A twelve-thirteen-year-old chosen randomly from the Mo Family could beat them, hands down!¡± Chen Hao gulped involuntarily. He wondered how would Uncle Qin fare if he waspared to the Mo Family. This was obviously not important. If the Mo Family could lend them a hand, it would give tremendous power to their side. ¡°The Mo Family is a hidden family. To be honest, I don¡¯t want anything to do with them unless necessary. But Uncle Pingan holds the secret of the Chen Family¡ªthe Spiritual Energy. If something happened to him, the Chen Family could not prosper. Our legacy might end by the time you inherit it. Because of this, I have no other options too!¡± Chen Jindong had his worries. It was not just for their kinship. The reason Chen Jindong had not given up looking for his brother was partly due to the Chen Family¡¯s nadis. ¡°Chen Family¡¯s nadis?¡± Chen Hao asked, confused. ¡°That¡¯s a story for another time¡ªI heard it from your grandfather. The most important thing right now is to seek the Mo family¡¯s help!¡±C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°Dad, do you want me to go over to ask for their help?¡± Chen Hao asked. ¡°If it was as simple as going over to them, I would have gone long ago. As I mentioned before, the Mo family is a hidden family. They would never meddle in others'' affairs. However, there¡¯s a person who might be able to ask for their help.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± ¡°Your grandmother!¡± ¡°My grandmother?¡± Chen Hao froze. He remembered that since young, his parents were sensitive whenever the topic of his grandparents came up, to the extent of hitting him if he pursued the topic. He still remembered, he was seven when he wasst hit. He asked, ¡°Why do other children have grandparents, but not me?¡± His mother, who was usually gentle and kind, pped him immediately and asked him to stop asking questions. Since then, this was a taboo in their family. No one would mention their grandparents, including his sister, Chen Xiao. ¡°That¡¯s right. She is now in charge of the Yang family in Yan Jing. In the past, your grandmother had interacted with the Mo Family. If she is willing to speak up for us, there¡¯s a high probability that the Mo Family would be convinced!¡± Chen Jingdong frowned and continued, ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for your mother and I to see her. But it¡¯s different for you. The grudges are just between us; I believe she won¡¯t hold it against you. Hence, the job of convincing her to help us lies on you!¡± He then asked Chen Hao¡¯s mother, Yang Yuping, to join their conversation. He could tell that his mother was still very sensitive to his grandmother. Yang Yuping looked depressed after hearing her name. This time, however, Chen Hao plucked up his courage and asked, ¡°What actually happened between you guys? I heard from Uncle Fu that grandfather is still alive. If so, where is he?¡± What actually happened back then? His mother did not lose her temper this time. Instead, tears welled up in her eyes as she started exining to him. ¡°It was because of the stupid rules of the Yang Family!¡± she said dejectedly. When his father was reaching the end of his poverty education, like Chen Hao a while ago, he couldn¡¯t expose his rich background. At that time, he met Chen Hao¡¯s mother, who was the Young Lady of the Yang Family in Yan Jing. Chapter 414 The Feud Chapter 414 The Feud At that time, his mother thought his father was weird and mysterious. Even though his father wore shabby clothes, he always did something that would surprise people. His father was also rather meek back then; he wouldn¡¯t retaliate even if he was hit or insulted. Initially, his mother sympathized with him. Slowly after, they fell in love and started dating, just like Chen Hao and Su Tongxin. At that time, the Yang Family was the top family among the four most powerful families in Yan Jing. Chen Hao¡¯s maternal grandmother, Madame Yang, was especially strict in managing the family. She made the Yang Family even more powerful after her husband died. However, there was one thing that his mother hated the most about her¡ªshe continued to uphold the patriarchal tradition of valuing males more than females. In the Yang Family, even up to this day, the women in the family would never handle the important affairs. Regardless how hard they worked, they had to pass the most valuable assets and positions over to the men in the family. It was normal for his grandmother, who had strong traditional values, to value men over women, even though she was a woman too. ording to the development of the situation at that time, Chen Hao¡¯s mother was going to be married to the son of their family¡¯s business partners as a result of their business alliance. His father kept a very low profile¡ªno one knew he was the richest in the Chen Family if he decided to keep quiet about it. Hence, his mother ran away from the marriage and both his parents eloped. If it was just because of this, the feud between both Yang and Chen families would not be this serious. His mother¡¯s fifth brother¡ªUncle Yuxing¡ªwas very close with his mother and helped them elope. Because of that, Uncle Yuxing bore all responsibilities. He was severely punished by Chen Hao¡¯s grandmother, and then he was banished from the family. They also offended their business partner with the elopement. When his father finished his poverty education, he was preparing to return to the Yang Family to speak on behalf of his uncle. However, a few days before his father was able to do that, his uncle was assassinated by someone andnded in a vegetative state. He was still bedridden until now. The culprit was their business partner who med his uncle for embarrassing their family. And his grandmother med his mother because of this. She announced publicly that she severed all ties with his mother. As for his mother, she thought that his grandmother was too ruthless¡ªafter all, she was the one who banished his uncle and ignored him. This was the feud between his mother and grandmother. After his parents got married, they never visited the Yang Family. Instead, they obliterated the family that assassinated his uncle. This was also the reason why the four biggest families in Yan Jing came down to three. ¡°What happenedter?¡± Chen Hao finally understood everything. He didn¡¯t know that his parents had been through so much! ¡°After that, your dad and I kept in touch with your uncle¡¯s family and took care of him in secret. Ten years ago, your grandmother brought him back to the Yang Family.¡± She wiped some tears away while speaking. ¡°Son, we are depending on you for this. Only you can go to the Yang Family and speak to your grandmother. If she is willing to help to convince the Mo Family, this would be a great favor to us!¡± said Chen Jingdong. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Okay, I got it!¡± ¡°Hao, when you arrive at Yan Jing, go find your cousin Yang Xiaobei first. Xiaobei is the daughter of your Uncle Yuxing, and we¡¯ve been helping her out all this while. I¡¯m sure she will know who you are. With her help, things will probably go smoother. Your grandmother is very stubborn, but I¡¯m sure she won¡¯t be too harsh on you. And also Hao, let me warn you¡ªno matter how your grandmother treated me in the past, I forbid you to be rude to her!¡± He knew that his mother missed his grandmother despite the incidents that ured; blood is thicker than water after all. ¡°Roger that!¡± Just then, the door opened and Shen Lan walked into the room. ¡°Mother, Father, Ziyue and Lady Mengxin are here to see you!¡± She nced at Chen Hao and walked downstairs. ¡°Hao, after all these years watching Lan grow up, I know she is a very fine girl. Please treat her well. And we¡¯ll find a suitable day someday to¡ª¡± ¡°I know, Mum! But I¡¯m not thinking about anything like that now!¡± Chen Hao interrupted his mother just in time as he knew what she was going to say. ¡°Okay then, let¡¯s not talk about that and solve the current problem first. By the way, feel free to take charge of the business in China. I¡¯ve already informed Fu¡ªthe assets and properties of the Chen Family in China¡ªincluding your sister''s¡ªbelong to you.¡± Three dayster, at the arrivals of the airport in Yan Jing, two women¡ªone of them was older while the other was younger¡ªwere leaning in front of a ck Volkswagen Passat, waiting for someone. The older woman was middle-aged, and wore a professional attire; it was clear that she took good care of her skin. The younger girl looked childlike and youthful, but her facial features were exquisite and beautiful. She looked like she¡¯d just graduated from university. They attracted some attention just by standing at the arrivals. ¡°Would you look at the time! Why isn''t he here yet? It''s so hot! I already have enough on my te, and now I have to wait for someone''s arrival?¡± the middle-aged woman said impatiently while she turned her wrist to look at her watch. ¡°Mom, be patient. This is his first time here, and it¡¯s normal for flights to be dyed,¡± the girl put in some good words. She was exhrated when Aunt Yuping called to tell her that her cousin, Chen Hao, wasing. She knew that Aunt Yuping and Uncle Jindong had been tending their overseas business for the past few years. They provided her a lot of support in secret¡ªthey found the best teachers for her, gave her the best education, and did a lot more things for her. However, due to some reasons, she could not visit her aunt, uncle, cousin sister and her cousin brother. ¡°Hmph! He is so pretentious! Why must he take the ne? Coming by car isn¡¯t good enough for him? Your dad is already in this state, and his sister is no better! I owe the Yang Family nothing, you know!¡± the middle-aged womanined. ¡°Mom, aunt has subsidized us all these years. You knew she has been helping our family out but why do you say such things about her?¡± ¡°If your aunt didn¡¯t run away with that bastard years ago, your father would not be in this situation right now! And our status in the Yang Family would be much higher! You are the Young Lady of the Yang Family, so you should have a lot of guards and cars following you when you are out, like all your cousins. But look at us now, just a Volkswagen! And you! Remember your grandmother had forbidden anyone in the family to contact your aunt. If we are found keeping in touch with them, not only will we be banished from the family, I will lose my job as well! Oh, I am so anxious right now!¡± The young girl listened quietly to her mother¡¯s grumbling and looked at the arrivals gate expectantly. She wondered how Chen Hao looked like; her aunt was a beauty, so she was sure that her cousin would be good looking too. A young man dragging his luggage walked toward her. ¡°Yang Xiaobei?¡± he smiled and asked while looking at the card in her hands which wrote ¡®Chen Hao¡¯. The girl bit her lips and nodded, looking at the fine young man in front of her nkly. ¡°You¡¯re Chen Hao?¡± She smiled sweetly. ¡°Yup!¡± Chapter 415 A Scam Chapter 415 A Scam ¡°By the way, Chen Hao, where are you staying? How long are you here for? Xiaobei will apany you today. If you need to go to the airport tomorrow, I can drive you there. Don¡¯t be shy to ask us anything, okay?¡± Guo Caifeng told him while she was driving, and turned to look at Chen Hao who sat quietly in the backseat of her car. In reality, her heart sank when she saw Chen Hao¡¯s luggage. In a friendly manner, she hinted Chen Hao to leave the next day ¡°Aunt Caifeng, I am not leaving tomorrow. In fact, I might be staying in Yan Jing for a while. I hope you pardon my intrusion,¡± Chen Hao smiled wryly and said. It was a materialistic world. If you were poor, no one would ask about you even if you lived in a busy city; if you were rich, people would visit you even if you lived in the mountains. Everyone was afraid of poor people. Guo Caifeng pulled a long face and kept quiet. ¡°Chen Hao, don¡¯t worry! Just stay at our ce. Grandmother¡¯s birthday is in a few days, I¡¯m sure she would be over the moon if you visit her on her birthday!¡± Yang Xiaobei, however, was very friendly to Chen Hao. Beforeing to Yan Jing, Chen Hao¡¯s mother informed him that Xiaobei didn¡¯t know who she actually was, even though she had been supporting Xiaobei¡¯s family all this while. But Chen Hao thought, It¡¯s better that she doesn¡¯t know after all. ¡°I just hope that your grandmother would not be furious after seeing him!¡± Guo Caifeng said coldly. ¡°Mom, why are you like this? I know grandmother and aunt had a tense rtionship, but grandmother still asked about Chen Hao and Chen Xiao previously!¡± Yang Xiaobei exined to her mother. ¡°Chen Hao, I know your actual reason foring over to visit grandmother this time. You guys are having a hard time and want a portion of her wealth? Having some financial difficulties, eh? Listen, I think you should give up on this¡ªeven our family couldn¡¯t get much, let alone you!¡± Guo Caifeng sighed. Obviously, she analyzed things very differently from the average person. Chen Hao didn¡¯t bother to exin himself. He just shook his head and smiled wryly. Then, he chatted with Yang Xiaobei about her recent life. They were cousins after all. After some small talk, they became more familiar with each other. The Yang Family was one of the three biggest families in Yan Jing, and they had a lot of branches. Madame Yang, Chen Hao¡¯s grandmother, was a very traditional person. She was strict in educating her children. But for those she had taken a liking to, and those who achieved great sess for the family, she would provide them immense support. Since Xiaobei¡¯s father had be bedridden in a vegetative state, the status of Yang Xiaobei and her mother plummeted. They were insignificant in the family, almost invisible, even. Her grandmother only arranged an average job position in the family for Guo Caifeng. Hence, the neighbourhood that they lived in was not very fancy. It was just a normal neighbourhood. Chen Hao finally understood what his mother meant by ¡®the Yang Family wasplex¡¯. Initially, it wasn''t on his mind, but now he fullyprehended the weight of those words. ¡°Xiaobei,e here. I need to tell you something!¡± After reaching their home, Guo Caifeng called Xiaobei into her room just when she was about to go out and buy some groceries. Both of them talked to each other for a while. Meanwhile, Chen Hao went to visit his uncle who was still unconscious. It had always been his mother¡¯s regret that his uncle became like this. Even though their family had advanced medical technology, they still couldn''t make him return to normal. Chen Hao couldn¡¯t do anything about it either, even though he would try his best if he could. He wondered if Uncle Qin knew any possible ways to make the situation better. But where was that old fellow now? Xiaobei went to buy some groceries. Chen Hao was quite reluctant to face his talkative aunt alone. After all, so far he had not heard anything gooding from that mouth of hers. He then told her that he was going out for a walk as an excuse to get away from her. Just when he was walking downstairs, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar caller ID. ¡°Greetings, Young Master. I am the person in charge of the Chen Family in the Yang Jing area, Hou Ping. Is there anything that I can help you with, now that you are here?¡± There were different areas in China for Chen Family¡¯s properties, such as the old Jiang Nan area, the Xi Nan area, the Yan Jing area, and many more. Now that Chen Hao was in charge of everything that Chen Family owned in China, everyone had to follow his lead. ¡°I¡¯m good for now. I¡¯ll let you know if I need anything,¡± Chen Hao replied. ¡°Noted, Young Master!¡± ¡°Oh right, get me a car,¡± he told Hou Ping. Chen Hao recalled that Xiaobei¡¯s family only had a Volkswagen Passat. Xiaobei had a driving license, but she always took the electric scooter when she wasmuting to work, exactly how she drove to the supermarket just now. Now that he came here, he was going to get her a car of her own. ¡°Yes, Young Master. Which model do you like? Phantom from Rolls Royce is not avable right now, but I can import thetest model as soon as possible,¡± Hou Ping said hurriedly. ¡°No need for the trouble. Just get me a car from the BMW 7 Series! ¡± ¡°What?¡± Hou Ping froze. Chen Hao only told him the address. He then hung up without saying anything else. He was not very fussy about cars. He then prepared to go back upstairs. He couldn¡¯t stay outside for too long after all. When he turned around, he saw Guo Caifeng clutching her phone, walking down hurriedly. ¡°Aunt Caifeng, where are you going?¡± he asked. ¡°I have no idea what ran into our family recently¡ªwe are so unlucky! Where am I going, huh? When Xiaobei was on her way back, she identally bumped into someone¡¯s car. Jeez, why even bother She glowered at Chen Hao shortly, reprimanding him shortly.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. After hearing that, Chen Hao ran to the scene of the ident, which was in their neighbourhood. ¡°Come judge for us. This girl knocked into our car and tried to get away from it!¡± The voice came from a man in his thirties. They were a young couple. He scorned at Yang Xiaobei. ¡°No, I wasn¡¯t trying to get away! I didn¡¯t knock into you! I had already braked¡ªit was your wife who bumped into me!¡± Yang Xiaobei exined frantically. Actually, Xiaobei thought that since Chen Hao was here, she wanted to make something nice for Chen Hao to eat, so she rushed back after shopping. At the same time, the man¡¯s wife was trying to drive the car that her husband just bought. While she was driving, she got nervous and knocked into Xiaobei. On top of that, Xiaobei fell off from her scooter. But they shifted the me to Xiaobei instead. Hence, the scene happened. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Guo Caifeng asked anxiously as she and Chen Hao rushed to the scene. Yang Xiaobei exined the whole scenario to her. ¡°Ha! Who asked you to run about in your electric scooter? Jeez!¡± the woman crossed her arms and sneered. It was tant that she wascent and proud of the fact that she was driving the BMW 5 Series. ¡°Well, we shall see who¡¯s at fault by asking the property management to look back at the CCTV footage!¡± Guo Xiaofeng said. ¡°Fine, then let¡¯s do that! Darling, why don¡¯t you go and watch the CCTV yback with them, while I call Mr. Zhou?¡± she said frostily. ¡°Mr. Zhou? Which Mr. Zhou?¡± Guo Caifeng froze when she heard the name. Chapter 416 Let’s See Who Is Better Chapter 416 Let¡¯s See Who Is Better ¡°Mr. Zhou Bao from this area!¡± The woman was about to dial his number. Guo Caifeng freaked out after hearing his name. Mr. Zhou was well known in their area¡ªhe owned a few night clubs. If this woman had connections with him, Guo Caifeng would be in big trouble. Technically speaking, being someone from the Yang Family, they should not be afraid of anybody. If they seek help from the Yang Family, the family would help. But Madame Yang would reprimand her for bringing trouble to the Yang Family. Hence, they had to swallow their pride sometimes. Guo Caifeng had no more courage left in her to use the name of the Yang Family to threaten others. However, it was apparent that the couple knocked into Xiaobei first, and they even tried to scam her. Guo Caifeng did not want to pursue the matter further. ¡°Go ahead and call him!¡± At this time, Chen Hao moved forward and said. The woman froze. ¡°What do you mean? Very well, I shall call him right now!¡± She began punching numbers into her phone. Guo Caifeng became very flustered after hearing that. ¡°Won¡¯t you just shut up? What do you know? Stand aside!¡± she shouted at Chen Hao and stopped the woman just in time. ¡°We can discuss everything civilly. How much do you want forpensation? We¡¯ll just pay you back!¡± The woman said loftily, ¡°Now this is more like it! Then we¡¯ll dly ept ten thousand!¡± Guo Caifeng gritted her teeth andplied. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll transfer it to you.¡± ¡°No! Mom, we can¡¯t do that! They have no right to ask for that much money!¡± Yang Xiaobei almost burst in tears. ¡°No? Then I''ll call Mr. Zhou right now!¡± She got hold of Guo Caifeng¡¯s fear and became even more smug. After all, how could someone driving an electric scooter fight against someone with a BMW? ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll give you the money now,¡± Guo Caifeng said exasperatedly and took her phone out to transfer the money. ¡°OMG, look! This car is so cool!¡± Just then, someone in the crowd eximed while pointing at the entrance of their neighbourhood. A brand new BMW 7 Series was driving toward them. Everyone gasped in awe. ¡°The model seems to be from overseas. With top-notch essories, I guess it cost around nine hundred thousand!¡± ¡°Damn, it¡¯s so cool!¡± Everyone was discussing about the car excitedly. Chen Hao looked at the car and thought, Hou Ping is quite efficient. He gets everything done in such a short time. The car stopped in front of the neighborhood. A man in his forties walked out. He was well dressed in a suit. Looking at the crowd who was blocking the entrance to the neighborhood, he asked one of them, ¡°Excuse me, how do I get to building 12 unit 2?¡± ¡°Building 12 unit 2? We¡¯re here!¡± said Guo Caifeng. ¡°That¡¯s great! I¡¯m here to send the car to you. If it¡¯s possible, could you show me the way?¡± he asked politely. ¡°You¡¯re Manager Fang?¡± At this time, the young couple blurted incredulously. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me.¡± He nodded and smiled. ¡°Do we know each other?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know us, but we do recognize you. You are the main dealer of BMW in China. With help from Mr. Zhou, our BMW 5 Series is bought from one of your deputy managers!¡± the woman smiled and said hastily. After all, Manager Fang was a big deal in Yan Jing. He was one of the bigshots in Yan Jing. Even though he probably would not know someone like Mr. Zhou, she still mentioned him, just in case they knew each other. ¡°Well then, thanks for the support!¡± He nodded. It was obvious that he had never heard of the name Mr. Zhou before. Even the manager would not know who Mr. Zhou was, let alone the deputy manager. ¡°Did Hou Ping ask you to send the car over?¡± Just then, Chen Hao asked casually, with one hand in his pocket. Manager Fang was shocked. He then studied Chen Hao carefully and said reverently, ¡°Yes, he asked me to send it to Miss Yang Xiaobei. I havepleted all the required procedures!¡± Manager Fang heard him speak about the mysterious Manager Hou. He must be the person whom Manager Hou mentioned that he had no rights to know his actual identity. Manager Fang thenughed obsequiously. ¡°Yang Xiaobei? 12th floor unit 2? That¡¯s our ce!¡± Guo Caifeng was shocked. ¡°Are you rted to Mr. Yang Yuxing?¡± asked Manager Fang. ¡°That¡¯s my dad!¡± Yang Xiaobei replied. Manager Fang passed a bunch of keys and a stack of documents to Yang Xiaobei. ¡°Then, that¡¯s right. Miss Yang, someone asked me to give this car to you. These are the relevant documents and certificates. Can you verify your information?¡± Yang Xiaobei looked at the documents. Her name was written on them. ¡°What happened? Who sent us such a fancy car?¡± Guo Caifeng was beyond excited. Manager Fang didn¡¯t say much. He walked over to Chen Hao and greeted him, ¡°Good evening sir, this is my business card. Just give me a call anytime you need my services.¡± Manager Fang knew that Chen Hao was no ordinary person and wanted to leave a good impression before leaving. He then hailed a cab and left. ¡°Oh god! It really is ours! This is fantastic!¡± Guo Caifeng gushed excitedly. Meanwhile, the couple looked at each other awkwardly and their faces went a little pale. They nned to scam Yang Xiaobei, but who knew that she had connections. They opened their car door to leave hastily. ¡°Wait!¡± Chen Hao smiled coldly at them. ¡°Leaving now?¡± ¡°What more do you want? We are not asking forpensation anymore!¡± the woman in a thick makeup said. ¡°Oh no, that can¡¯t happen. Of course there will bepensation, but it will be the other way around. You will have topensate us. You knocked into our scooter after all,¡± Chen Hao walked toward them. ¡°We don¡¯t ask for much, one hundred thousand will do!¡± ¡°One hundred thousand?¡± Everyone was stunned. The couple¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Well, of course you guys can choose not to pay us back. I guess Manager Fang is around the corner, I can call him, and you can call Mr. Zhou. We can talk it out together.¡± Chen Hao smirked, taking out his phone. ¡°No! Let¡¯s settle this among ourselves!¡± The man looked frightened now. His wife nched. Manager Fang was one of the top guys there, and he treated Chen Hao with respect. If he came back, he probably would hold it against both of them. Even if Mr. Zhou came, he would probably be at the receiving end of their reprimands. All rights ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Can you decrease the amount, we¡ª¡± ¡°I am calling!¡± Chen Hao took out his phone and started dialing. ¡°W-We¡¯ll give you the money!¡± They knew Chen Hao was scamming them, but they had no other options. He then transferred one hundred thousand to Guo Caifeng¡¯s ount and apologized to Yang Xiaobei. Only then Chen Hao let them go. ¡°Xiaobei,leave your electric scooter downstairs. I¡¯ll drive the car there.¡± Guo Caifeng was overjoyed today. She took the keys and went to drive the car. Before leaving, she took Manager Fang¡¯s business card away from Chen Hao and said, ¡°Manager Fang is our acquaintance. Stop using him to show off!¡± Chapter 417 His Cousins Chapter 417 His Cousins ¡°Chen Hao, do you know Manager Fang?¡± On their way home, Yang Xiaobei asked Chen Hao, who sat quietly in the car. She felt something was off¡ªsomeone like Manager Fang would never give her a car without valid reasons. On top of that, most people were unaware of her personal information. She recalled that Chen Hao had asked for her identity card number during breakfast this morning. She also saw clearly that Manager Fang treated Chen Hao with extreme reverence. ¡°No, I don¡¯t know him.¡± Chen Hao shook his head. They had never met before this. ¡°Why would he give me such an expensive car then? Are you behind this?¡± Yang Xiaobei would never look down on her cousin. But she thought his family was no better than hers. If it weren¡¯t for Chen Hao, who else would it be? ¡°Try and guess!¡± Chen Hao smiled. Yang Xiaobei grinned shyly. She didn¡¯t know why, but Chen Hao was bing more mysterious to her. In the afternoon. ¡°Chen Hao, there¡¯s a gathering tonight. Do you want to join us?¡± While Chen Hao was thinking of a way to pay his grandmother a visit, Yang Xiaobei walked out of her room after she changed. ¡°You mean the gathering of our cousins?¡± During the afternoon, Yang Xiaobei told Chen Hao about the gathering and their cousins. ording to her, every year before their grandmother¡¯s birthday, they would gather a few days prior to discuss what to get her. That was the official reason for the gathering. The truth was, they just wanted to gather and have fun. Chen Hao didn¡¯t particrly hate gatherings. The reason for visiting his grandmother was to resolve the feud between his mother and his grandmother. Hence, getting to know his cousins was quite necessary. He then nodded. ¡°Yeah, count me in!¡± In Yang Jing¡¯s most fancy bar, a group of gorgeous young men and women, presumably in their twenties, was sitting there. ¡°Did you guys hear? Our cousin from the countryside is here at Yan Jing. He¡¯s staying with Yang Xiaobei¡¯s family!¡± ¡°OMG, is that true? My parents never mentioned this! Grandmother¡¯s birthday is just around the corner. What is he doing here? Does he want to celebrate her birthday together with us? I thought she had already severed all ties with them?¡± ¡°Hmph, I think celebrating grandmother¡¯s birthday is just a decoy. In my opinion, he is using this opportunity to return to Yang Family. As everyone very well knows, grandmother is celebrating her eightieth birthday this year. After that, she is distributing the family¡¯s resources¡ªthe assets and properties¡ªto us! He probablyid his eyes on those and chose the right timing toe back!¡± one of the guys said disdainfully. ¡°Nah, I think he doesn¡¯t stand a chance! This afternoon, when grandmother knew that Aunt Caifeng invited Chen Hao from the countryside to their house, grandmother immediately summoned her and C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. gave her a harsh scolding. She is probably still angry with the Chen Family,¡± a girl chirped in. ¡°By the way, that cousin of ours from the countryside¡ªI think his name is Chen Hao, ording to my dad¡ªI heard that he could not even afford to buy food when he was studying! When grandmother knew that, guess what she said? She told all of us to leave him alone and to not interfere with his affairs.¡± ¡°Usually every year during grandmother¡¯s birthday, she would give us advice about behaving properly. But have you noticed that sincest year, grandmother mentioned Chen Xiao and Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Yeah! She asked about them. I don¡¯t know about Chen Xiao, but someone told her that Chen Hao was still in university!¡± Everyone was gossiping around. At the same time, the door opened. A young man walked in with a few young girls. ¡°You¡¯re here, Yang Ye!¡± ¡°Oooh, Yang Ye is here!¡± The group stood up and greeted him. Yang Ye was the eldest grandson of the Yang Family. He was also Madame Yang¡¯s favourite grandson. Naturally, he was the leader and the core of the group. Yang Ye nodded. ¡°Everyone is here, good. Let me introduce you guys to a few of my friends. This is Meng Can, my friend from university. You guys might already know her. The beauty next to her is her high school friend from Jin Ling, Qin Ya!¡± While introducing them, Yang Ye smiled at Qin Ya, who was even more beautiful and elegant than Meng Can, who was already a beauty. Yang Ye was surprised to find that his heart skipped a beat when he looked at Qin Ya. He had no shortage of pretty girls around him all along and he was already numb to them. After some small talk, Yang Ye smiled and asked, ¡°Do you mind if I call you by your name directly?¡± Qin Ya shook her head, indicating that she didn¡¯t mind. Truth be told, Qin Ya was reluctant to participate in this gathering when Meng Can wanted Qin Ya to apany her. Qin Ya had just reached Yan Jing and didn¡¯t want to go anywhere. As she was new to Yan Jing, she didn¡¯t know anyone here except Meng Can. Hence sheplied and followed her to the gathering. ¡°Hey Qin Ya, stop sulking here! All of us here are from prestigious families, so we share the same ¡°Let the party start!¡± Yang Ye smirked. ¡°Wait, Yang Ye, someone has not arrived!¡± ¡°Oh? Who else isn¡¯t here?¡± Yang Ye asked. ¡°Yang Xiaobei and the cousin from the countryside aren¡¯t here yet,¡± a guy said immediately. ¡°Oh right, Xiaobei isn¡¯t here yet. The cousin from the countryside¡ªis he the son of the woman who was banished from the family by grandmother, Chen Hao?¡± By right, Yang Ye should address her as his aunt. Even though everyone looked down on Chen Hao¡¯s mother and her family, they usually still addressed her as their aunt in their conversations respectfully. Hearing Yang Ye say ¡®that woman¡¯ made a few of them ufortable, but they didn¡¯t say anything about it. ¡°I see, no wonder grandmother was angry at Aunt Caifeng this afternoon. It is because Xiaobei was keeping in touch with Chen Hao!¡± he sneered. Yang Ye¡¯s mother and Chen Hao¡¯s mother had some disagreements when they were younger. Both their families were not on good terms already. Hence, this resulted in some innate grudges in the next generation. ¡°Chen Hao?¡± ¡°Chen Hao?¡± Qin Ya and Meng Can asked at the same time. Yang Ye froze and asked, ¡°Meng Can, Qin Ya, you guys know Chen Hao? Oh yeah, I remembered he is from Jin Ling.¡± Qin Ya kept quiet, but she was excited. But she was curious¡ªhow did Meng Can know Chen Hao? Was it someone else with the same name? Or was it just a coincidence? Meng Can asked in surprise. ¡°Qin Ya, you know Chen Hao too?¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just the same name! Meng Can, do you know him too?¡± A conflicted expression flitted across Qin Ya¡¯s face. ¡°Oh, I knew him, but I am not sure if he is the same person we are talking about! You know my dad¡¯s job is always moving around, so I moved schools a lot too. When I was in eleventh grade, my dad had some projects in Ping An County. I moved there and met the poor bastard Chen Hao!¡± Chapter 418 An awkward encounter Chapter 418 An awkward encounter ¡°Ping An County? That¡¯s him!¡± A few peopleughed. ¡°Damn, I didn¡¯t know that Chen Hao was rted to you guys! Is it true?¡± Meng Can looked surprised. ¡°Of course, but he¡¯s never recognized as one of the Yang family!¡± Yang Yeughed dryly. Qin Ya didn¡¯t care about Meng Can¡¯s description of Chen Hao¡¯s past. ¡°Yang Ye, is Chen Haoingter?¡± she asked expectantly. Yang Ye nodded. ¡°I think they said that Yang Xiaobei ising together with him. Look, there they are!¡± The door of the room was ajar, so they could see the corridor outside. They saw Yang Xiaobei walking toward them. Qin Ya looked nervous, but Yang Xiaobei seemed to be alone. ¡°Yang Xiaobei, where is Chen Hao? Did he note?¡± a girl from the Yang Family asked. As Yang Xiaobei was the most unfavored in the family, everyone didn¡¯t really respect her all this while. ¡°Chen Hao went to the washroom. He will be here soon!¡± Yang Xiaobei said. In fact, Yang Xiaobei didn¡¯t like to participate in gatherings like this. She knew the difference between her cousins and her was just too big. They were from entirely different universes. However, she could not shy away from such events either. ¡°Ha, this is funny! I bet this is his first time in such a high ss bar. Someone is nervous!¡± A girl covered her mouth and giggled. Everyone startedughing. At this time, a young man dressed in a casual attire opened the door and walked in. The young man was tall, fair and lean. The atmosphere of the room froze once he stepped inside, with one hand in his pocket. A few girls stared at him in awe, because this young man was good looking and extremely elegant. He was particrly attractive. ¡°Chen Hao,e take a seat here!¡± Yang Xiaobei smiled sweetly and grabbed Chen Hao¡¯s elbow. ¡°H-He is the cousin from the countryside?¡± A few girls gasped in surprise. Everyone thought that Chen Hao was poor and inferior since he came from the countryside. They thought he would look like a man who had failed in life. They were also expecting him to be prim and awkward in a situation like this. On the contrary, he exuded maturity. Everyone looked at him in a different light after seeing his gait and posture. Smack! Just then, as Chen Hao was preparing to greet his cousins, he was suddenly hit at the back of his head. ¡°Damn, it really is you! Chen Hao, stop your act! I bet you never expected to see me here!¡± It was Meng Can. She ran over to Chen Hao after recognizing him. Her way of greeting was very different from others though. ¡°OMG! You are here!¡± Chen Hao was shocked seeing a familiar face here. But he couldn¡¯t recall who she was. ¡°Do you still remember me?¡± Meng Can put her arms around his shoulder and asked him amusedly. ¡°Of course!¡± he lied. She did look familiar, and he was sure that they were in the same ss in high school, but he could not remember her name. ¡°It¡¯s been so long! I never thought of seeing you here. You still put one hand in your pocket. Oh, just cut the act and take your hand out of your pocket already! Others might not know your background, but I do!¡± she said. Chen Hao shook his head wryly and took his hand out of his pocket. He then recalled that her name was Meng Can; they were ssmates for around six months. Everyone shook their heads andughed at this scene. Who did he think he was, feigning an air of superiority! After all, everyone knew he came from a poor background. ¡°Meng Can, we¡¯ve lost touch after you switched schools. I didn¡¯t know that you know my cousins!¡± Chen Hao tried to make small talk. ¡°That¡¯s enough, stop the formalities. You make it sound like I want to keep in touch with you. Go take a seat!¡± Meng Chan said disgustedly. ¡°Um¡­¡± Chen Hao smiled awkwardly. ¡°Chen Hao!¡± Just when he was about to sit, another voice rang. Chen Hao raised his head and was surprised to find the person in front of him. ¡°Qin Ya? W-Why are you here?¡± What the h*ll? Chen Hao did not expect to meet any of his ex-ssmates here, let alone Qin Ya. He had not been keeping in touch with her for a long time since that incident. He felt awkward that Qin Ya had been actively messaging him, but he had not replied to any of them. He thought they would never meet again. But sometimes such coincidences did happen. ¡°It really is you! Why didn¡¯t you reply to my messages?¡± Qin Ya asked, tears starting to well up in her eyes. She had told herself repeatedly to forget about him. It was impossible for them to be together. But memories flooded her as soon as she closed her eyes. It started with her getting injured by a twisted ankle. Chen Hao piggybacked her to the infirmary in the rain. After that, Chen Hao always came to her help whenever she was in trouble. Qin Ya knew, since then, this guy was seared deep in her heart permanently. No matter how hard she tried to forget him, it was futile. When she saw Chen Hao, she was filled with chagrin. ¡°I am sorry, Qin Ya!¡± Chen Hao¡¯s head drooped embarrassedly. Qin Ya was one of the girls whom he let down. But there was no other way. Everyone was stunned by the scene unfolding in front of them, especially Meng Can and Yang Ye. It was obvious that Qin Ya and Chen Hao were more than acquaintances. From the way she looked at him, their rtionship was definitely not tonic. Jealousy surged through Yang Ye uncontrobly. He thought he stood a chance with Qin Ya. ¡°Qin Ya, what¡¯s going on here? You guys know each other?¡± Meng Chan asked. Qin Ya wiped her tears, shot a sorrowful nce at Chen Hao, and sat down. Chen Hao also took his seat. ¡°Since you guys know each other, just make yourself at home, Chen Hao! Come, take one of these.¡± Yang Ye smiled and offered him a cigarette. ¡°Thanks, but take mine instead!¡± Chen Hao was not a smoker, but he always carried a packet of cigarettes whenever he went to gatherings. Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. He ced his cigarette on the table. ¡°What the f*ck? X-ONE?¡± Looking at the cigarette, everyone was shocked. Some of his cousins looked at him incredulously and asked, ¡°What the h*ll? You smoke this thing?¡± Yang Ye¡¯s face immediately hardened. ¡°What is this? It looks weird. I have never seen anything like this!¡± a girl asked curiously. ¡°Well, I have never seen these cigarettes either! They are used by billionaires overseas! Not only does it bring no harm, it helps to moisten the lungs too! A new product that is released this year and it¡¯s not for sale. It¡¯s specially supplied to certain VIPs only!¡± a guy said in awe, taking the pack of cigarettes in the meantime. Chapter 419 Who Are You Kidding? Chapter 419 Who Are You Kidding? ¡°Chen Hao, you smoke this brand of cigarettes?¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Everyone felt embarrassed, especially Yang Ye. The cigarettes that Yang Ye brought were actually from M Country. They were extremely expensive, and he asked a few friends to bring it over. He nned to give it to everyone so that everyone was impressed with him. After all, guys were defined by three things when they go out¡ªclothes, watches, and cigarettes. These three items determined the social ss of a person. It was like a p in Yang Ye¡¯s face when Chen Hao took his cigarettes out. Yang Ye had never expected it. ¡°I don¡¯t usually smoke. I took this out of my house before going out,¡± Chen Hao exined. Chen Hao didn¡¯t expect that a pack of cigarettes that he simply took from his house would cause a ¡°Hmph! I assume this is fake! If the cigarettes are what you described earlier, how could Chen Hao possibly get his hands on them?¡± Meng Can asked the guy unbelievably. ¡°No need to assume, it is definitely a fake! Chen Hao was probably hoodwinked by others without knowing. Come on, Chen Hao, just take the normal cigarettes like Winston or Marlboro which cost ten bucks next time. People would onlyugh at you when you start showing high ss cigarettes around!¡± The guyughed and threw the cigarettes aside. Trying to catch Qin Ya¡¯s attention, Yang Ye added, ¡°I am not trying to put you down, Chen Hao. But you know yourself the best, and we understand your family¡¯s background. There¡¯s no need to pretend in front of us. Have you graduated from university? Have you found a job?¡± Yang Ye acted like he had been in the workforce much longer than Chen Hao He glimpsed at Qin Ya while speaking. ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Chen Hao shook his head. ¡°Jobless after graduating. What are you thinking, Chen Hao? You have to be more realistic. Don¡¯t build castles in the air and work hard. Even though you don¡¯t have much money now, you would be rich if you put in the effort. Stop all these pretense!¡± Yang Ye said exasperatedly. ¡°Hear, hear! You have to take Yang Ye¡¯s advice, Chen Hao! What he says is right! You should listen to him!¡± Meng Can nudged Chen Hao¡¯s head with her fingers. F*ck, if it weren¡¯t for the current situation, I would very much like to p you! Chen Hao thought angrily. ¡°You probably understood me. Don¡¯t think about things that are not yours. The Yang Family is much moreplicated than you thought. Be down to earth!¡± Yang Ye thought Chen Hao was here to get a portion of their family¡¯s wealth. He deliberately spoke to Chen Hao with an air of superiority to put him down and let Qin Ya know that in front of powerful people like himself, Chen Hao was worth nothing. Just then, the door of the room opened and a blondedy with curls walked in with a bottle of red wine that looked expensive. ¡°Young Master Yang, since you always frequent our bar, this bottle of wine is a gift for you!¡± thedy spoke in broken Mandarin. ¡°Thanks, Du Sha!¡± Yang Ye smiled and stood up. ¡°Wow, Young Master Yang receives respect whenever he goes!¡± Meng Can eximed and nudged Qin Ya''s elbows. ¡°Qin Ya, this is one of the most luxurious bars in Yan Jing! As for Du Sha, she is the owner of the bar; many caucasians and businessmene here for drinks. And someone like her gave Young Master Chen a bottle of wine as a gift! Can you even imagine that!¡± Hearing Meng Can¡¯s exmation, a few girls of the Yang Family looked proud and gloated. ¡°It¡¯s all because of Yang Family¡¯s reputation and Yang Ye¡¯s capabilities!¡± It was obvious that Yang Ye took a liking to Qin Ya. So they tried tomend him as much as possible in front of her. ¡°X-ONE? T-This¡­ When I was in China, I had not seen anyone with this!¡± When she was speaking with Yang Ye, Du Sha noticed the packet of cigarettes which were thrown on the table by Chen Hao. She was engrossed in the cigarettes. ¡°Oh no, this is going to be embarrassing. We should have asked Chen Hao to put it away. Miss Du¡¯s ex-husband is one of the top businessmen in country M. He has seen all the different types of business asions and scenarios. What would she think of us when she found out that we were smoking fake cigarettes?¡± A few guys were ashamed of themselves. The girls also felt embarrassed. ¡°May I have one? Aftering to China, it¡¯s been half a year since Ist smoked this!¡± Du Sha smiled and asked. ¡°Miss Du wanted to try it? She must have tried it when it first came out!¡± ¡°Oh no, now we are embarrassing ourselves in front of people from other countries!¡± One of the girls couldn¡¯t hold it anymore and said, ¡°Wait, Miss Du!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong, dear?¡± Du Sha smiled sweetly. ¡°Don¡¯t smoke that. We just realized that it¡¯s a fake!¡± It was better to tell the truth before Du Sha figured it out. Everyone looked at Chen Hao reproachfully. People from the countryside like him only brought shame upon them! ¡°A fake? Youngdy, I would just like one cigarette, you don¡¯t have to lie if you are reluctant to share. Also, those who can afford these cigarettes are too rich to care about one cigarette. You don¡¯t have to lie to me!¡± Du Sha said wryly before taking one of the cigarettes and smelled it. ¡°No, we are not lying, Miss Du. It¡¯s fake!¡± another girl added. ¡°To be honest with you guys, my ex-husband was the leader of the research team of thispany. Of course there are fake ones on the market, but I¡¯m quite confident in my ability to tell them apart. This pack of cigarettes is undoubtedly the real one,¡± Du Sha exined, smiling. ¡°F-For real?¡± Everyone couldn¡¯t believe their ears. After all, Du Sha had no reason to lie to them. But how could Chen Hao afford a real pack of X-ONE cigarettes? ¡°Where did you get this, Chen Hao?¡± one of the guys asked. ¡°I have no idea where it came from. I just took it from my house.¡± Chen Hao smiled bitterly. ¡°Your house? As if your family could afford it!¡± Meng Can insulted in a shrill voice. ¡°Young Master Chen, can I take one of your cigarettes?¡± Du Sha winked at Chen Hao and asked flirtatiously. ¡°Help yourself!¡± Chen Hao replied dryly. ¡°Ms Du, why do you call him ¡®Young Master¡¯? We don¡¯t know from where he gets his hands on the cigarettes. His family is quite poor¡ªthey could not afford to eat sometimes!¡± Yang Ye sneered. He couldn¡¯t stand Du Sha treating Chen Hao respectfully and neglecting him. ¡°Poor? Are you joking, Young Master Yang? Let¡¯s put the cigarettes aside for now. The clothes that Young Master Chen wore were specifically handmade by French tailors. This is not something that a normal rich person would wear!¡± Du Sha walked slowly to sit beside Chen Hao. ¡°Am I right, Young Master Chen?¡± Chapter 420 Xiaobei Was Taken Captive Chapter 420 Xiaobei Was Taken Captive ¡°French tailors? What¡¯s going on?¡± Everyone was stunned. Yang Xiaobei was quite happy to see how Chen Hao was respected by Du Sha, the top hostess in Yan Jing. ¡°It was my honor meeting you today, Young Master Chen. No matter how much you spend today, it¡¯s on me!¡± Du Sha stood and extended her hand to Chen Hao politely. ¡°Thank you, Miss Du!¡± Chen Hao shook hands with her. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Du Sha knew that the value of knowing someone like Chen Hao would be far greater than the expenses spent today. After Du Sha left, the crowd went unexpectedly quiet. Yang Ye looked embarrassed and annoyed. It was obviously a huge blow for him. ¡°Chen Hao, let me try one of these!¡± One of the guys couldn¡¯t help himself and took his cigarettes. Yang Ye¡¯s eyes narrowed. He shot a nce at Chen Hao testily and walked out of the room, pretending that he was making a call. Everyone had been verypliant and amodating since he was young. Chen Hao, who was just a poor and lowly bastard who came from the countryside, was one of the few who dared to defy and embarrass him. On top of that, it was in front of Qin Ya. Yang Ye would not tolerate this, especially on his turf. He would rather die than to be insulted by Chen Hao. He walked outside and lit a cigarette. Then, he found a phone number in his contacts and dialed it. ¡°Hello, Mr. Zhou. What are you doing now?¡± he asked while smoking. ¡°I¡¯m just having fun. Gee, why did you suddenly remember me? What¡¯s up, Young Master Yang?¡± A gleeful voice came from the other end. ¡°Nothing much, I was just annoyed. Someone pulled a prank on me!¡± ¡°Ho-ho! Who would dare to cross your line here at Yan Jing? Tell me, Young Master Yang, who is this guy? I will take care of him!¡± ¡°It''s fine, just embarrass him in front of anyone!¡± Yang Ye then told him the address. ¡°Such coincidence! I am drinking with a few of my guys around here. Be right there!¡± Yang Yeughed mirthlessly. He continued smoking outside while waiting for Mr. Zhou to arrive. Apparently, this was not his first time doing this to people. Meanwhile, in the room. ¡°Xuanxuan, do you want to go to the washroom together?¡± A few girls went to the washroom together, including Yang Xiaobei. Qin Ya was throwing res at Chen Hao, waiting for him to take the initiative to speak to her. Chen Hao, however, continued to eat some fruits with no intentions of speaking with her whatsoever. Qin Ya tried to hide her nervousness and embarrassment. ¡°How are you and Su Tongxin?¡± She could not help asking. Qin Ya knew his family background much better than the rest of the crowd. However, she was not interested in that at all; she merely wanted to ask him about Su Tongxin. ¡°Tongxin met with an ident and disappeared!¡± Pain stabbed Chen Hao¡¯s heart everytime he thought of her. He had no idea what would happen at his grandmother¡¯s birthday celebration on the day after tomorrow. He wondered if he was able to mediate the rtionship between the Yang and Chen family, and if his grandmother was willing to help them. ¡°What happened?¡± Qin Ya was shocked to hear that. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you when the time arrives,¡± Chen Hao said simply. ¡°Who¡¯s Su Tongxin, Qin Ya? Not Chen Hao¡¯s girlfriend, is she? Someone like him can find a girl?¡± Meng Can snorted in surprise. Qin Ya could sense that Chen Hao became morose when the subject came up, so she didn¡¯t reply to Meng Can¡¯s questions. ¡°Say something, the two of you! Who is Su Tongxin?¡± Meng Can demanded. Just then, the door opened and Yang Xuan rushed in frantically. ¡°This is bad! Some drunk guys insisted that Xiaobei and the rest join them for a few drinks!¡± she said at the top of her voice. ¡°What?¡± Upon hearing this, Chen Hao rushed out immediately. A few of his other cousins rushed toward him, looking flustered and scared. ¡°Where is Xiaobei?¡± Chen Hao asked coldly. ¡°They brought her to room 103!¡± a girl said. Chen Hao rushed into the room while the other guys stood still and hesitated. Being a part of the Yang Family, they were not afraid of anything. However, they were reluctant to be directly involved in troubles. Those guys might be gangsters; it would be unfit if they were beaten up. It was better to make some calls outside instead of being directly involved inbat. As Chen Hao rushed into the room alone, Qin Ya followed suit worriedly. ¡°Oh no, what should we do?¡± the girls asked helplessly. When they came out from the washroom, they met a few drunk men who insisted on drinking with them. They evenid their hands on Yang Xuan. After seeing that, Xiaobei shoved that guy away. At this point, there were no conflicts. But when they were making their way back to the room, the guys went after them and dragged Xiaobei by her hair to their room. ¡°Only Chen Hao went there alone. There were at least seven of them! Where did Yang Ye go?¡± Yang Xuan said worriedly. She was touched by Xiaobei¡¯s actions. After all, Xiaobei was trying to protect her. ¡°What else can we do? Call the Yang Family immediately! Let¡¯s see who dares to cross our family!¡± a guy said. ¡°Wait, don¡¯t call yet. I¡¯m sure Xiaobei will be fine.¡± Yang Ye appeared out of nowhere behind the crowd and stopped the guy from making calls. ¡°B-But, Young Master Ye, Xiaobei was taken away!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m sure she will be fine. But someone else might not be!¡± he sneered. Looking at the way Qin Ya followed after Chen Hao immediately, Yang Ye became extremely jealous. His face was stony and indifferent. The crowd seemed to understand what was going on and stayed quiet. All of them went back into their room. ¡°Let her go!¡± Just then, Chen Haomanded furiously as he kicked the door open. A few drunkards were forcing Xiaobei into their arms. Chen Hao¡¯s family had been on good terms with Xiaobei¡¯s family, especially after her father''s incident. Xiaobei was extremely warm and weing to Chen Hao as well. He would not let anything harme to her. ¡°What can you do alone? Ha! And you brought another beauty over for us? Thank you very much!¡± one of the men in the leadughed sarcastically. Qin Ya came with Chen Hao as she was worried for his safety. ¡°Mr. Zhou, you are in luck! Can we have a share after you are done with the girls?¡± the crowdughed. ¡°Sure, no problem! Get me that girl over there! I would be out of my mind to reject her!¡± Mr. Zhou waved his hand. ¡°Mr. Zhou, right? Stop right there! Don¡¯t me me for not warning you.¡± A look of callousness flitted across Chen Hao¡¯s face. ¡°Trying to threaten me, eh? Fine! I can let them go, as long as you crawl between our legs!¡± Mr. Zhou
