Chapter 197: 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 you lack the money to repair your cars, so why not let this go? Let’s just continue where we left off and have fun!”

Chen Hao laughed bitterly and helplessly. It wasn't like he had any other solution, seeing how things were playing 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 later, yeah?” Huang Yonghao said, rubbing his own stomach coyly.

“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 you later, 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 placate 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 happened last 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—F*ck!

The atmosphere immediately froze.

Chen Hao just laughed 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 accept it?”

Chen Lin glanced 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 all later!”

Chen Hao found an excuse to slip away.

He came to the side of the lake.

“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 the layout 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—!”

Zhao Yifan’s breathing started becoming 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.

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 the lake!

F*ck!

“What are you doing?”

Chen Hao was speechless. This was way too similar 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 badly last 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 placed in front of her very eyes...
