The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao) novel Chapter 138

Everybody was shocked.

“Young Master Chen, may I know who they are?”

Tang Ran came over to Chen Hao’s side. Then, she asked him in surprise when she saw his entourage.

Tang Ran was jealous especially when she saw that Lin Yiyi was a stunning young woman.

In short, she felt envious.

However, this put Chen Hao in a difficult position.

He couldn’t tell her that Lin Yiyi was his girlfriend, because what if Tang Ran told Su Tongxin later? Wouldn’t he be landing himself in trouble then?

“I will tell you all about it later. These are my guests, so can you arrange for somebody to tend to them?” Chen Hao smiled casually.

“Ok, Young Master Chen.” Tang Ran nodded her head.

Lin Hongxia was completely dumbfounded when she kept hearing Tang Ran calling him Young Master Chen.

“Wh-What? Are you Young Master Chen? The Young Master Chen of Jin Ling?”

Lin Hongxia nearly screamed out loud.

“Yes, I am, Mrs. Lin!” Chen Hao smiled with amusement.

“Yiyi, is this true?” Lin Hongju asked in surprise as she felt that she had made a fool of herself.

The poor loser that they had been ridiculing along the way was actually Young Master Chen!

Lin Yiyi nodded her head in earnest.

All her three cousins inhaled sharply.

They obviously heard of Young Master Chen’s name numerous times.

Unexpectedly, he was standing right here in person in front of them.

The feeling of regret started to well up inside the hearts of the few people.

Moreover, they were even bragging in front of him just now. Alas, they were nothing but a clown to him.

Following that, the atmosphere started to become lively and Chen Hao became the topic of conversation again.

The only difference was this time around, they agreed to everything that Chen Hao said.

They were obviously acting out of fear.

Chen Hao chuckled to himself as he knew that he had made them look like a complete fool this time.

It was better this way since he did not want any trouble from them later.

“Young Master Chen, have they completed the renovation works on the manor? May I know when you are moving in?” Tang Ran asked in a whisper before they left.

“I will move in within the next few days. Zhao Zixing is a very efficient guy. He told me that he would get it done within seven days, but he completed it within six!” answered Chen Hao before bringing Lin Yiyi and the rest of the entourage down the mountains.

“Chen Hao, where are you? I would like to have dinner with you at the cafeteria tonight. I need to tell you something.” Su Tongxin suddenly sent him a WeChat message.

Chen Hao nearly jumped in fright when he saw this, as he felt guilty for doing something he shouldn’t have.

“Oh, I am still on campus grounds. Ok, I will wait for you in the canteen tonight.” Chen Hao quickly replied.

“Erm, Yiyi, something came up and I need to return to my college. I won’t be accompanying your aunts anymore. You can bring them to the Hot Spring Villa tonight,” said Chen Hao casually.

“It’s ok, young man. Please go and settle your business and don’t mind us. We are all adults here, so don’t you worry,” Lin Hongxia said with a smile.

“She is right, young man, sorry to trouble you today. Hey! You three, come here and say your goodbyes to your cousin-in-law. He is leaving soon.”

Lin Hongju chimed in and even scolded Lin Yiyi’s three cousins who were feeling quite embarrassed at the moment.

“Cousin-in-law, please don’t mind us and go settle your business.”

All three cousins said in unison and they even gave Chen Hao some alluring smiles. It would be an exaggeration to say that they were flirting with him. However, they really did have other intentions in mind.

They felt that he wasn’t just a good looking person. Looking at him now, he looked so handsome even if he dressed modestly. No matter how you looked at him, he was even more handsome than their boyfriends.

“Erm…”

Chen Hao could not stand their enthusiasm, hence he left quickly.

Did Chen Hao hate them? It was out of the question. After all, Lin Yiyi and him were just putting on a show for everyone to see.

“Oh my God, Yiyi, Chen Hao is actually Young Master Chen! Why didn’t you tell us? I nearly offended him completely just like your aunt did just now.”

Lin Hongxia clapped her hands in delight.

Lin Hongju was upset when she heard those words. “Hongxia, you were the one that spoke those poisonous words and completely offended Young Master Chen. Why are you directing the blame toward me? If you don’t believe it, just ask my daughters.” Then, she turned toward her daughters and asked, “When I spoke to Chen Hao just now, I was tactful in my manner of speaking, wasn't I? Your aunt was the one who ridiculed him.”

Her daughters did not know how to answer her questions.

Luckily, her future son-in-law, Wang Peng, said, “I think so, Mrs. Lin. However, when Young Master Chen left just now, he was still friendly toward us. I don’t think he will make a fuss out of this.”

Lin Hongju looked at Wang Peng with disgust. “Look at your revolting behavior! I am asking my daughters a question, not you! Did you think that you can brag around just because of your small fortune? You are such a petty person. Why don’t you learn a thing or two from Chen Hao? He is such a mature and steady guy.”

Wang Peng nearly turned red with anger.

Li Fei, who was the boyfriend of her other cousin, only smiled.

“What are you smiling for? You think you are any better? You pretend to be mature and introverted all the time. You could only do that if you are rich. You good for nothing piece of trash. Stay away from my daughters, the both of you!” Lin Hongju raged on.

After meeting Young Master Chen today, Lin Hongju only realized that both her future sons-in-law were a couple of low-standard people—no wait, not low-standard people, they weren’t even considered humans!

Lin Hongxia did not bother about her sister anymore.

She turned around and held Lin Yiyi’s hands. “Yiyi, we need to get along well with each other from now on. By the way, I have not been to the Hot Spring Villa before. Since Chen Hao had given us the green light, can you show us around?”

“Yes, Yiyi, show us around.”

“I am not in the mood now. You guys go ahead by yourselves.”

Lin Yiyi replied to them in an apathetic manner.

Her voice sounded very cold.

It wasn’t directed at her aunts personally. Lin Yiyi sounded like that because her emotions were in a turmoil.

Because a while ago, when Lin Yiyi was sitting together with Chen Hao, she happened to see the WeChat message that Chen Hao received.

It was from a girl named Su Tongxin. She wanted Chen Hao to accompany her for a meal.

And then, Chen Hao lied to her by saying that he was still within the campus grounds and quickly made his way back there.

Chen Hao did not even have the guts to tell her that he was with another woman.

Moreover, it was obvious that Chen Hao really cared about her.

She felt a sudden stabbing pain in her heart.

To put it bluntly, why did she have to ask Chen Hao repeatedly for his help in the first place?

Did she really need his help?

Furthermore, she could have found anybody to be her boyfriend, so why did it have to be him?

Why did she have to find Chen Hao?

Wasn’t it because she wanted to create more opportunities to be together with Chen Hao?

However, just by looking at his anxious face just now, she knew right away that Su Tongxin was all he ever cared about.

Hence, Lin Yiyi was in a daze right now. She did not want to do anything else and wanted to be alone right now.

Meanwhile, Chen Hao had reached his college and was rushing to the entrance of the cafeteria.

The moment he arrived, he immediately sent Su Tongxin a WeChat message.

“Why haven’t you reached the cafeteria yet? I am still waiting for you by the entrance.”

Chen Hao recalled a technique that Ma Xiaonan and Yang Hui taught him, which was, ‘To retreat in order to advance’. However, he did not know whether the technique was the real thing or a sham.

“Hmph, I will reach there soon. Our Broadcasting Department meeting just ended. Hehe, I am sorry for making you wait.”

Su Tongxin replied apologetically.

This technique is useful indeed! Chen Hao thought to himself.

“Hey, did you guys hear about the rumors? One of the girls nearly committed suicide today.”

At this moment, Chen Hao overheard a topic of discussion by a group of girls who happened to walk past him.
