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, âLook at them. Theyâre so capable!â
Huang Yonghao said displeasedly, âWait till my sister is back!â
Chen Hao took a deep breath, picked up his wine glass, and walked toward Yang Xia.
âHao, where are you going?â Huang Yonghao asked.
âDonât worry about it, Young Master Chen has his own thoughts!â
Although Li Zhenguo was also surprised when Chen Hao walked toward them with his wine glass in his hands, he understood that he was definitely doing it for a reason.
âAh! Are you here for a toast too, Young Master Chen?â
When the rich businessmen saw Chen Hao coming, 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.
Long Shaoyun tucked his hands into his pocket and smiled coldly while looking at Chen Hao.
âXue, allow me to propose a toast to you!â Chen Hao raised his glass.
Yang Xia should have stood up by now, but she remained seated while swirling the red wine in her glass. Suddenly, Yang Xia splashed the red wine onto Chen Haoâs face, drenching him in the red liquid.
âHmph! Okay, consider this glass of wine as my payback toward you for hurting me in the past!â Yang Xia sneered as she continued, âBesides, stop calling me Xue! You donât have the rights to call me Xue!
Please behave yourself!â
âWhat?â The scene of Chen Hao being splashed with red wine shocked many rich businessmen.
Damn, this wasnât as simple as a slap in the face.
Li Zhenguo and the rest stood up abruptly. âHow dare you!â
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.
âOkay, Miss Yang, are we good now?â Chen Hao raised his glass.
âOf course!â Yang Xia smiled lightly, raised another glass of wine and poured the wine over Chen Haoâs head.
âConsider this glass of wine as my revenge toward you!â
The crowd was stunned as they watched.
Yang Xia finally drank the third glass 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 wasnât afraid of Yang Xia; he just didnât 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 complicated emotions.
After the networking 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 would come looking for her. At this moment, she was waiting for Chen Hao outside the manor.
âMiss Yang, I hope that you could dismiss the people you sent to hurt Su Ziyue! Youâve achieved your goals of insulting me today!â Chen Hao said.
âHehe! Donât worry, Iâm not going to hurt her. Youâre the one that Iâm resentful of, and she has nothing to do with me, so why should I hurt her? As a condition, youâll need to promise me two more things!â
Yang Xia said.
Chen Hao let out a sigh. âOkay, spill it out!â
âThese two things should be easy for you to achieve. Firstly, youâll allow me to stay in your Cloud Mansion for a few days! Donât worry, I wouldnât extort your property. I just wanted to borrow it for a few days, isnât that easy?â Yang Xia said.
âOkay!â Chen Hao nodded.
âThe last thing should be easy too. Youâll help me to teach someone a lesson and destroy his business!
This person is a total scum, hence I believe it wouldnât be hard for you too!â Yang Xia said.
âWhoâs that?â Chen Hao asked.
âHis name is Li Hongfeng. Heâs from the same village 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 successful, 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. Iâve told you all these before!â When she uttered her last sentence, Yang Xiaâs voice was obviously softer. After all, she had mentioned the past of both of them, which made her feel uncomfortable.
âI got it. But why are you asking for my help? You now have the capability to teach him any lesson you want to!â Chen Hao said curiously.
âHehe! Iâm afraid that it wouldnât be effective if Iâm the one teaching him a lesson. It wouldnât be appropriate for me to ask the Long family for help on this matter either. Of course, thatâs not the main point. The main point is that youâre a famous person in Jin Ling. The impact would be greater if youâre the one doing this!â Yang Xia explained.
âThat person is indeed a jerk. I remember that he sent someone to the school to block you. Heâs the one operating a bar here, isnât it?â Chen Hao also recalled the things that happened in the past.
âYes, itâs him! A few of the girls in our village were kidnapped and had their futures destroyed by him.
My sister nearly became one of his victims! Donât you think he should be punished?â
âOkay, Iâll do this for you, but I hope that youâll stop targeting my friends after this!â
âSure, Iâll dismiss my people right now!â After finishing her words, Yang Xia turned around, went into the car, and the driver drove off.
âYoung Master Chen, what were you talking about with that woman? Youâve been too nice to her today!â At this moment, Bai Xiaofei and Huang Yonghao approached him.
âThatâs right, Young Master Chen!â Bai Xiaofei was furious on behalf of Chen Hao.
âI understand your concerns. Iâm not afraid of her, I just didnât want to deal with her. I hope that she will stop causing trouble after releasing her anger. That way weâll not owe each other anymore!â Chen Hao said casually. âOh, one more thing. Iâm going back to change in a while. Please accompany me to a place later on. Get enough manpower, weâre going to deal with something!â Chen Hao said to Bai Xiaofei and Huang Yonghao.
âNo problem, Young Master Chen! Weâll get everything ready immediately!â 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.
âIs this the place, Young Master Chen?â Bai Xiaofei chuckled while smoking. The three of them walked toward the bar.
âI heard that this place has prostitutes. It seems to be an illegal place.â
âWeâre here because itâs illegal!â Chen Hao smiled bitterly.
âWhat? Are you serious, bro? Are we here for prostitutes?â Huang Yonghao was shocked.
âBullsh*t! Weâre here toâ¦â 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 glancing 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 Xiaâs 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 wasnât 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 wouldnât even care about her private matters.
âSir, what would you like to order?â 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.
âNothing!â Chen Hao replied softly with his eyes shut.
âHuh? Sir, we haveâ¦â
âF**k you! He said nothing! Didnât you hear that?â Bai Xiaofei kicked the side table as he stood up and roared at the girl...
