âQin Ya, why arenât you resting in your room? What are you doing out here?â Qin Xiangnan asked. He felt sorry for his daughter.
âCough! Qin Ya, you are a good daughter. You know what the Long family is like, we canât afford to offend them. Moreover, itâs not like Young Master Long doesnât 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!â one of the relatives said.
Qin Ya told Qin Xiangnan who was worried sick about what happened last night. So, naturally, her father told all of them too.
âHahaâ¦â
Qin Ya let out a bitter chuckle.
She knew what they meant.
However, it wasnât 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 Jingâs Qin family.
All of them had families to take care of, too.
Qin Ya couldnât blame them.
Moreover, Qin Ya didnât really care about what would happen to her anymore.
What could she do?
Chen Hao didnât 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 didnât 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.
âMom, dad, Iâll go pack up later. Then, letâs head to Hot Spring Villa to attend Young Master Longâs birthday party!â Qin Ya told her parents after taking a deep breath, smiling lightly.
She went back to her room after.
Qin Xiangnanâs heart felt heavy seeing his daughter acting like this.
âYoung Master Chen, this is the present that I wanted to give you! Hehe, you must be interested, right?â
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, âYou went to record this yesterday?â
âHehe, 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 peopleâs business!â Hou San smacked his chest and said proudly.
âThatâs enough! Stop boasting!â
Li Zhenguo laughed bitterly and said, âWith this and the recording from before, we will let him have a taste of his own medicine!â
âYeap!â
Chen Hao nodded with a smile.
Right then, Chen Haoâs phone rang.
He glanced at the screen. It was a call from his godbrother, Huang Yonghao.
âWhat is it, Yonghao?â Chen Hao asked.
âBro, we were attacked just now. Xiaofei was beaten pretty badly!â
âWhat?! Who would have such audacity?!â Chen Hao bellowed.
âWho 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 themâ¦â
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 familyâs underlings when both of them tried to cause a disturbance.
The Long family was very powerful. This time, Long Shaoyunâs birthday party was held in Jin Ling.
He even chose to host the party at Hot Spring Villa that Chen Haoâs 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.
âYou guys should come over now!â Chen Hao instructed.
Chen Hao treated both Bai Xiaofei and Huang Yonghao as if they were his real brothers.
âWe are downstairs now. I still need to help Xiaofei!â Huang Yonghao informed.
âIâm coming down right now!â
Chen Hao brought Hou San along with him to meet up with the others.
As expected, Bai Xiaofei was bruised all over. Huang Yonghaoâs face wasnât spared either.
âYoung Master Chen! So sorry for embarrassing you!â
Bai Xiaofei lamented as if he was a defeated soldier.
âItâs fine. Letâs go in to talk!â
Chen Hao patted Bai Xiaofei and Huang Yonghaoâs shoulders, ushering them to go in.
âChen Hao! Chen Hao!â
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 he last saw her.
Now that they met again, he noticed that she was even prettier than before.
âHan Siyu, why are you here?â Chen Hao wondered.
âHmph! I canât believe you even mentioned that! I donât even see you in school anymore, so I wanted to come see you!â
Ever since Chen Haoâs 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 wasnât until she saw Chen Hao being held in respect by so many people at Yunhua Community that she finally made up her mind.
âJust to see me? Alright, here I am!â Chen Hao said. He couldnât help but laugh wryly.
âTsk! 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!â Han Siyu said.
Chen Hao didnât know how Han Siyu managed to find him. But, he also knew the location of the place he lived wasnât exactly a secret.
He nodded, motioning for her to continue.
âThe thing is, I opened a new entertainment company and Iâm training my own live streamers now. I was thinking, since Iâm under your company either way, we could go live streaming at Yunmeng Mountain to gain popularity. But, I heard that we canât enter that area!â Han Siyu explained.
âAlright, Iâll help you. You guys can just head there right after you get back!â 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 didnât blame 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 glances 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 accepted Chen Haoâs feelings, everything would have turned out nicely!
âOh, yeah. Can you help me with something too?â
Chen Hao suddenly thought of something and asked.
âHuh? What? What can I help you with?â Han Siyu asked, surprised.
âWell, you can come inside with me first. We will discuss it inside!â Chen Hao chuckled and explained.
At the same time, Hot Spring Villa was bustling and crowded with people today.
Even since Chen Haoâs 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 Villa.
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!
âYoung Master Long, looks like many people came to support you today!â
One of the servants tried to flatter him, looking on at the event.
âHaha, nonsense! By the way, have Qin Ya and her family arrived yet?â Long Shaoyun questioned.
âIâve asked, theyâre on the way now. Haha, it doesnât matter how stubborn Miss Qin is, she is still wrapped around your finger!â
âHmph! That woman! I canât 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 canât 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!â
Right at this moment, one of the waitresses walked over dutifully, wanting to serve Young Master Long tea. However, she accidentally knocked over the cups.
âWhat the f*ck, are youââ
Long Shaoyun wanted to unleash his rage on her. But, when he saw her face, he was tongue-
tied...
