The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao) novel Chapter 72

Chen Hao heard the voice from the other end of the phone, but he didn’t mind.

He wanted to reach Jade Dragon Villa as quickly as possible, so he sped up.

This villa was similar to Hot Spring Villa.

There was entertainment and dining under one roof but in terms of facilities, it was much less comprehensive compared to Hot Spring Villa. However, it was still the best gathering venue for second or third-tier families.

Today, the birthday feast of Su Tongxin’s grandma was held here.

After he arrived, Chen Hao drove into the car park.

“O-okay!”

The security guard looked like he was about 50 years old and he seemed to have a stutter.

If his Lamborghini didn’t have an auto-parking system, the car would have definitely gotten stuck in the ditch under the guard’s instructions.

Chen Hao smiled resignedly.

He still gave the security guard 100 so that he could get himself a box of cigarettes.

“Th-thank you!”

As he turned to leave, the security guard thanked him with gratitude, speaking slowly.

Su Tongxin was standing at the entrance of the villa.

“Hey, Tongxin, it’s almost 11. Why isn’t your boyfriend here yet?”

There was a young woman standing next to Tongxin.

She was twenty-four years old. She was pretty and wore glasses, but she looked haughty.

“Don’t worry cousin. Chen Hao will be here soon!” Su Tongxin laughed anxiously.

This girl was the second daughter of her aunt, named Tang Ran. She was beautiful and had always been close to Su Tongxin ever since they were kids.

When she was still studying, she was the prettiest girl in school. Now, she had graduated and was working at a firm. She also had many admirers but she was too haughty and her standards were high. One would have to be extraordinary to catch her attention.

It had been three years since her graduation and she had never had a boyfriend. At this moment, she was very interested in her cousin’s boyfriend.

She was interested in him because she cared about her cousin.

She had to make sure that Su Tongxin’s boyfriend was a good person.

“Tongxin, sorry I kept you waiting for so long!”

At this moment, Chen Hao’s voice rang out.

Su Tongxin thought that Chen Hao would be arriving by taxi and had already thought of an excuse to tell Tang Ran.

However, Chen Hao approached them from the opposite direction from which he was supposed to come. This made Su Tongxin a little surprised.

“Chen Hao, you’re here! Quick, let me introduce the best sister in the world to you!” Su Tongxin held Chen Hao's arm affectionately.

“This is my cousin Tang Ran. She’s four years older than us. Isn’t she pretty?”

Chen Hao glanced at her and nodded.

This woman was indeed pretty.

“Hmph, are you saying that I’m not pretty?” Su Tongxin said coquettishly.

She was just joking, of course.

“No no, of course you are more… erm, you’re all beautiful, all beautiful!” Chen Hao wiped the sweat off his brows.

“Tongxin, stop teasing Chen Hao!”

Seeing the banter, Tang Ran felt a hint of jealousy. Perhaps she had been single for too long. She couldn’t stand seeing people being in love, including her cousin.

Tang Ran crossed her arms and looked at Chen Hao.

So, he was Tongxin’s boyfriend!

He was well-dressed and he looked handsome with a steady gaze. He also looked quite confident.

She gave him nine marks out of a hundred for her first impression of him.

This was a perfect example of why haughty Tang Ran could not find a boyfriend.

“Chen Hao, nice to meet you. Tongxin mentioned that your family runs businesses. May I ask what kind of business in particular?” she asked as she crossed her arms.

“Oh, we dabble in a lot of sectors!”

To be honest, Chen Hao didn’t know how to answer this question.

His sister told him that his family had businesses in many, many industries and they had assets in half of the countries around the globe.

If he was not mistaken, his family was a huge family with hundreds of years of history.

Chen Xiao didn’t give him the specifics. That was why Chen Hao had to fill in the gaps himself and he could only give a general answer.

“I don’t see your point. You seem confused!” Tang Ran shook her head resignedly.

“Tongxin told me that you both met at the driving school and that you have already gotten your license. Have you bought a car already?” she questioned again.

“Yes, he has. He bought a BMW 7 Series and his family told him to practise with that car first! But Chen Hao is afraid of driving it so I told him to take a taxi!”

Su Tongxin knew that lying to her dearest cousin was not the best way to deal with this situation, but she didn’t want Chen Hao to feel stressed. She had no choice but to lie.

“Ha, BMW 7 Series. There’s a fool in our department who is driving this car. He wanted to woo me but I told him to piss off!” Tang Ran shook her head.

If this was the case, then Chen Hao’s family background is not bad.

However, it would take a whole lot more than a BMW if he were to be my boyfriend.

Tang Ran was really pretty so she used this to her advantage.

Her dream was to marry into a rich family and find a wealthy husband who was obedient.

To be frank, it didn’t matter if her future husband was older or younger than her. She would be fine either way.

The main criteria was that he must be rich.

Her definition of rich was not just owning one company that had assets over billions of dollars like some families.

Rich to her meant a business empire.

Tang Ran didn’t know when she had this conviction but it was very strong.

She shook her head bitterly and laughed. “Well, Tongxin, Grandma’s birthday feast is about to begin. Let’s go inside!”

Tang Ran had already lost interest in conversing with Chen Hao.

Su Tongxin stuck her tongue out and whispered, “Chen Hao, don’t mind her. My cousin is like that. I think apart from the richest of the rich, no one can meet her standards. She shouldn’t be so stubborn!”

Chen Hao couldn’t possibly tell Su Tongxin that he was the richest of the rich and that her cousin should marry him. That much was apparent.

Moreover, her cousin was quite arrogant.

Forget it! I’m helping Su Tongxin out by acting as her boyfriend. I don’t need to take it so seriously!

Then, the trio went inside.

Nearly everyone in the family came to the birthday feast.

Su Tongxin’s uncles, aunties and many other distant relatives were present.

Therefore, the entire front villa of Jade Dragon Villa was reserved for the feast.

People were flowing into the banquet hall.

“Grandma, I wish you longevity and my all your wishes come true, haha!”

Standing at the center was a white-haired woman wearing festive clothes. She chuckled.

She looked at her eldest granddaughter, Su Ying. “Ying, I don’t dare to wish for longevity but as for wishes, I hope all of you will find someone someday to settle down with and form your own family!”

One could not compare the older generation to the younger generation. The former usually hoped for a girl to marry at the age of twenty three or twenty four!

“Yes, Grandma. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Li Jiannan!”

Su Ying smiled and pulled Li Jiannan to her side.

Li Jiannan was put under the spotlight.

Many relatives chuckled. “Mister Li is really handsome!”

“I heard that his family is quite rich too!”

“Grandma, here is my gift for you, please have a look!”

Li Jiannan smiled and took something out of his pocket.

Everyone gasped when they saw what it was...
