âChen Hao, do you know Mrs. Lin?â
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 Hao lacked something in comparison with Li Wenyang and Zhao Jie, who was beside her.
Li Wenyangâs family had a huge company, but he had also founded a company himself and was a boss now.
Though his car was not as nice as Chen Haoâs 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 a large group. His salary was standard and he had a year-end bonus. He had his own career and was a handsome white-collar worker.
But what about Chen Hao? What did he have?
Though Chen Hao was famous among his classmates now, Jiang Xueqing treated Chen Hao differently. She wasnât as enthusiastic as she was in high school.
âYes, I do. I didnât know that Mrs. Lin invited you. Itâs such a coincidence!â 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 other compared to last 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 not completely 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 didnât forget to compliment Xu Xin.
Liu Meng also thought that Xu Xin was pretty so he complimented her, but after seeing the look on Li Wenyangâs face, he didnât 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 Haoâs plate 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.
âWenyang, whatâs the matter? Are you interested in Xu Xin? Sheâs myâ¦â Liu Meng said.
âScram. Letâs 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!â Li Wenyang remembered the awkwardness while they were eating and said fiercely.
âWhat? Wenyang? Are you going to take revenge on Chen Hao? What are you planning to do?â Liu Meng was excited as well.
Apart from Li Zhao, Liu Meng also joined the fight last time. Li Meng was one of Li Wenyangâs second-
in-command in high school.
His family had a factory, he was rich and he was good at fighting.
âRight, a few days ago when we were out drinking, didnât you have a friend named Yang Wenlong who was in a gang? How about this. Later, you call Wenlong and tell him to come over to scare us. They probably canât solve it, so Iâll step forward and take care of it. At the same time, Iâll call Jin. Haha, everyone in Ping An County would be respectful to Jin, even the people from Jin Ling!â
âDonât just scare them. It would be best if they beat Chen Hao up. Thatâs how he should be humiliated!â
Li Wenyang said.
Liu Meng heard him and praised him.
âThis is a really good idea!â
âYes, Jin was very sorry to me because he couldnât help me out last time. He told me if anything happened to me in the future, he would help me if he could!â Li Wenyang said smugly.
âAlright, then itâs decided. Iâll go and call Wenlong now!â
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 were laughing about.
Soon, there was some noise outside.
âWhat are you doing? You canât go in there!â
A waitressâs voice rang out.
âPiss off!â
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 necklaces 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, âWho reserved this place? Change it to another place now!â
âWhy? Who are you people?â
Xu Xin stood up angrily. She was not afraid of them.
âWho am I? Iâm Yang Wenlong. If you donât know me, go out and ask!â 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.
âMr. Yang, we havenât finished eating yet. How can we change?â Lin Xiaofeng smiled apologetically.
âHow? Everyone grab a plate and go eat somewhere else!â Yang Wenlong sneered.
Then the atmosphere froze. Lin Xiaofeng didnât know what else to say.
If they held their plates outside to eat, wouldnât it cause Li Wenyang to lose face?
She could only tug on her irritable daughterâs 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 hasnât he said anything? According to plan 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 shouldnât say or do anything to steal their limelight!
Who would have thought that they wouldnât do anything? Why are they so skittish?
So he didnât move as well.
âSo no one wants to talk? Thatâs great. Donât blame me for being impolite!â
Yang Wenlong stretched his neck and there were cracking sounds.
Bam!
Suddenly, Zhao Jie smacked the table.
âIâll see if you would dare to do so. Do you have no regard for the law? Xueqing, call the police!â
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, âLook, Zhao Jie is stealing the spotlight!â
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 playing 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.
âF*ck! You donât show me any respect. Brothers, hit him!â
Yang Wenlong panicked and took a chair to smash it on Zhao Jie.
During the fight, someone had grabbed Jiang Xueqingâs 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.
âStop it, stop it. What should we do?â
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 hadnât done anything yet. He cursed under his breath and thought he would find others to pick a fight and beat him up later.
Suddenly, someone smacked the table again.
Li Wenyang put both hands into his pocket. He was squinting and his head was slightly lowered. âStop immediately!â he ordered coldly.
