Chapter 296: 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 for coming.

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 place 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 Chen coming out yet?” Tang Lan also asked anxiously.

Jiang Weidong sighed. “Maybe Young Master Chen won’t come 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. According to the plan, Young Master Chen would fetch Uncle Wu and come 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 to come 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 a laugh.

“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 really committed 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?

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 slap, the kind that wiped his mind blank; 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 places 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 flashing 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 the last 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!
