The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao) novel Chapter 142

“Hey, I’m asking the three of you. What’re you doing here? Having meals here? Well, well, well. You even bring three girls along!”

Lin Jiao had changed a lot compared to the past.

Not only was she wearing branded goods from head to toe, her status elevated profusely ever since she became Zhao Shan’s godsister.

Xu Xia said that Zhao Yifan was the only person Lin Jiao would concern herself with right now.

She didn’t care about the others at all.

She felt that they weren’t at the same level as her.

In essence, she became insanely snobbish and arrogant.

It was all because she had a great godbrother who provided the lavish lifestyle which included access to luxurious clothes and bags.

Faced with Lin Jiao’s questioning, Li Rui tugged at the hem of his shirt nervously. Lin Jiao was quite familiar with him, so she knew of his background very well.

Oh damn! This is awkward!

“We’re here to have lunch as well. Talk to you later. We’re heading upstairs now!”

Chen Hao didn’t want to extend the conversation too, especially after noticing that Su Jie happened to be her lunch companion. Su Jie, the follower of Zhao Shan, was also the one who knocked down Chen Hao with his car on the first day of college.

Based on his observation, Su Jie was probably one of Zhao Shan’s troublemaking followers who liked rocking the boat.

Looking at how close Lin Jiao and him were, Chen Hao wondered if they were a couple.

There was no reason for Chen Hao to be intimidated by Su Jie. But the main character today was Li Rui and not him. He just didn’t want any trouble.

“Aha, you! Stop right there!”

And yet, Chen Hao now had Lin Jiao staring at him crossly.

She didn’t even bother calling him by his name, because she didn’t deem him deserving of politeness.

Hmph! Chen Hao, you were impressive before! More impressive than anyone could imagine.

You were so great, that those clueless about you might mistake you as some Great Young Master Chen.

I did have a crush on you previously, even to the point which I took the first step to hook up with you.

But what did you do? You are so damn cocky that you never cared about me.

You even confessed to Zhao Yifan publicly at our Broadcasting Department not so long ago. You were aware of my affection for you, but still you chose to ignore me!

Lin Jiao really hated Chen Hao's guts.

However, she had now become Young Master Zhao’s godsister. Not only that, his buddy, Su Jie, was trying to pursue her as well. Their intimacy had surpassed that of ordinary friends.

They were definitely better, if not the same level as Chen Hao.

And thus, Lin Jiao only ever had a bone to pick with Chen Hao!

“Hey, you. I thought you were acting all high and mighty before this? Now that Young Master Zhao came to our college, all of a sudden you’re a coward?” Lin Jiao held her arms as she scoffed.

“Oh yea, I thought I saw you having meals with Su Tongxin just a few days ago. And now you’re here with other girls?”

“Hey, who do you think you are! What nonsense are you talking about? We aren’t dating him. We are the besties of Young Master Li’s girlfriend!”

This was when Lin Yue retorted coldly.

To be frank, Lin Yue never really liked Chen Hao’s bad sense of dressing.

If it wasn’t because he was the underling of Li Rui, Lin Yue didn’t even want to look at him.

So, the moment when she heard Lin Jiao claiming that she came here with Chen Hao, she couldn't help with the retort.

Still, it was also mainly due to her dislike of Lin Jiao in general.

“Huh? Young Master Li? Which one?” Lin Jiao asked immediately, frowning.

“Young Master Li, Li Rui. Why, what’s the matter?” Lin Yue replied.

Listening to their conversation, Chen Hao and Li Rui rubbed their foreheads listlessly.

They were rushing to enter the private room, mainly to avoid them talking about Li Rui’s identity.

Sometimes, the more worried you are of an outcome, the more likely it manifests.

“Hahahaha!” Lin Jiao laughed heartily.

“What did you just say? Did you just address Li Rui as the Young Master Li? He is the one?” Lin Jiao laughed as if she heard the funniest joke in the world.

“What Young Master Li? I’ve been in this college for quite some time, and I’ve known many of the young masters in college, but why didn’t I know that there is a Young Master Li called Li Rui?” Su Jie crossed his arms, not taking any of these seriously.

“Hmph! Li Rui is not some second generation member of a rich family. He started from scratch and has now owned several stores in Jin Ling! Am I right, Fei?” Lin Yue said indignantly.

Qin Fei nodded her head.

“My God!” Lin Jiao covered her gasp. With an astonished look, she asked, “Li Rui, you did all that? You opened multiple stores in Jin Ling? My goodness, when did this happen? What kind of stores are they?” Lin Jiao pretended to be surprised.

“I-I-I…”

Everyone’s attention was on Li Rui at the same time, leaving him helpless.

Chen Hao glared at Lin Jiao angrily.

This mad woman should have caught on to what was going on. But still, she kept on asking questions, not making things easy for the three of them.

Obviously, her intention was to humiliate them.

“Lin Jiao, he has opened so many stores. Do we have to tell you about every single one of them? Qin Fei, let’s go to the private room upstairs!”

Chen Hao made an inviting gesture and also blocked Lin Jiao physically, preventing further interrogation.

“What the hell! You’d better get out of my way!” Lin Jiao raised her leg and her kick landed on Chen Hao’s butt.

“Why don’t I have the rights to know? I’m like a sister to Xu Xia. Yang Hui is her boyfriend, and Li Rui is his buddy. I bet Xu Xia also has no idea that Li Rui owns several stores here. I really want to know what’s going on!”

Lin Jiao put on a bossy front with a wicked smile. She said, “No matter what, I won’t let you go if I don’t get a satisfying answer today!”

“Li Rui, just tell her about the stores and let’s go to eat now.” Qin Fei said softly as she looked at Lin Jiao in disgust.

“That’s right, Young Master Li, just tell her about them. You don’t have to be looked down upon by a nobody,” Lin Yue said.

“Are you saying that I’m a nobody?”

The girls were about to start a fight.

Suddenly, Su Jie’s phone rang and everyone went into silence.

“Hey cousin, why aren’t you here yet? We’re waiting for the both of you! What? You’re in the hospital now? You got beaten up? By whom?” Su Jie’s tone turned cold and angry.

“Alright. After getting your wounds treated, come to Homecook Kitchen Restaurant to have lunch first. We’ll find out who beat you up later this afternoon. Damn!” After the unpleasant exchange, Su Jie hung up.

“Young Master Su, what’s happening? Is that the phone call from Kai?”

Feeling worried, Lin Jiao turned to look at Su Jie, no longer focusing on Chen Hao.

“Yeah, my cousin called and said that he got beaten up by three men just now. He is getting his wounds treated in the hospital now. He’ll be coming here right after that.”

Su Jie moved and cracked his neck, creating a loud popping sound.

“Who are they? The nerve that these people have. How dare they beat up Kai? Didn’t they know that Kai is your cousin?” Lin Jiao exclaimed fiercely.

“I don’t care who they are! You, contact Young Master Hua and Young Master Kang to gather some people. I have some business to deal with this afternoon!”

“Yes sir!” One of his underlings immediately went to make a call.

Chen Hao and Yang Hui exchanged their glances, slightly confused. Both of them were thinking of the same thing at the same time, How coincidental was this?

It’s just too awkward!

While they were still caught up in their thoughts, there was a roaring of an engine belonging to a black Volkswagen Passat coming from afar. An emergency brake stopped the car swiftly by the entrance of Homecook Kitchen Restaurant.

Two guys with bruised and swollen faces got out of the car.

Looking at the two of them, Lin Yue said in a startled manner, “Oh shit! It’s really the two of them!”
