CHAPTER 17 OVERSEAS RETURNEES

Chen Hao didn't know how to feel about Zhao Yifan.

Although she was gorgeous and had an excellent disposition, Chen Hao did not like her 'despise the

poor and curry favor with the rich' behavior.

He wasn't sure what Xiao Nan was thinking about. Why did she want to bring the both of them together

so badly?

Hence, in order to avoid further embarrassment, he really did not want to go.

However, he could not hold his own against Yang Hui's advice.

He did not want to ruin his friends' fun, hence he agreed to go.

The Bright Star Western Restaurant was chosen as the location of the gathering.

Yang Hui obviously could not afford to go to the type of hotel that Xu Nan and Lu Chen went to. They

were rich second generation heirs, but he wasn't.

A total of six people from the girl's dormitory including Zhao Yifan and Xu Xia came to the gathering.

In addition to Ma Xiaonan,six people from Chen Hao's dormitory came too.

However, Chen Hao did not go together with Yang Hui as he needed to make a trip back to the

dormitory.

"In my opinion, the 12 of us including Xiao Nan and the 5 people from Yang Hui's dormitory is enough

for this gathering!

Zhao Yifan sat on her seat swaying her legs while drinking some juice.

The meaning behind her words were evident.

She had quite a good impression of Yang Hui. He was relatively mature in handling things.

The only thing was,Yang Hui's parents were only ordinary high school teachers. Based on this, he did

not meet Zhao Yifan's criteria.

"Yes,you are right,Chen Hao shouldn't be allowed to come! The moment I see him, I will think about

that incident! It's so damn humorous!" All content is property © .

Xu Xia added jokingly.

"Ok,ok! Yifan and Xu Xia, don't hate Chen Hao that much.He really is a good person. You will

understand this after spending some time with him for a while!"

Ma Xiaonan said with a smile.

"Yes, Chen is a great person..."

Yang Hui and the rest of them said, one after another.

Haha,a good person? If he really was a good person,then he wouldn't let the 12 of us sit here and wait

for him. What do you say, XuXia?"

Zhao Yifan coldly harrumphed.

"Hey,Chen Hao's here!"

Ma Xiaonan stood up and waved at Chen Hao who was standing at the entrance to come over.

"I apologize for my tardiness.I had to go back to the dorm to make a phone call to settle some things!"

Chen Hao smiled.

Ma Xiaonan was sitting opposite Zhao Yifan.

In that instant, her gaze shifted and she stood up and dragged Chen Hao to her seat. "Chen Hao, sit

here!"

Could Ma Xiaonan be more obvious? However, he did not whine about it and sat down.

"Lin Jiao, let's change our seats!" Unexpectedly, the moment Chen Hao took his seat, Zhao Yifan

pulled a long face and said that to her best friend.

"Yifan, I don't want to exchange my seats with you. I don't want to sit near this poor loser! Everybody

would think he was my boyfriend!"

"What? Wouldn't you be glad if Chen Hao was your boyfriend? Look at him, he was willing to part with

a 300,000 bag! Haha!"

"You're right, Jiao, if you were to meet a guy like Chen Hao, you should just go to him. Hahaha!"

Lin Jiao looked gorgeous. She was very skilled in her makeup.

Besides, she was covered from head to toe in branded apparels and accessories.

Naturally, she looked down upon Chen Hao.

When she heard her roommates teasing her, she was nearly speechless.“Oh, since you think he is so

great, you might as well let him be your boyfriend then!"

“Ah! we surrender, we surrender!"

Upon hearing this, the girls did not dare to joke around anymore.

Obviously, they were very sensitive to the words Chen Hao and boyfriend, as if they would be ridiculed

if Chen Hao was their boyfriend.

But they could only bear with it. Although it was beyond reason, it was still

within Chen Hao's expectations that Zhao Yifan would refuse to sit with him.

"Xiaonan, I will sit at the corner here! Come over here quickly and take a seat!"

Chen Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He felt like a pestilence in the girls' eyes.

Other second generation heirs with 30,000 to 50,000 in their hands could toot their own horns in front

of beautiful girls and catch the girls' attention.

He had countless assets under his name, but why could he not get any girl's attention?

Chen Hao had thought about using his own money to toot his own horn, but he did not know how!

Sigh!

With that, Chen Hao stood aside.

Ma Xiaonan initially wanted to advise him because she really wanted to mend their relationship. Both of

them were her best friends!

"Yifan?"

At this moment, a voice rang beside Chen Hao's table.

A tall, handsome guy dressed in branded casual wear stood in front of the crowd.

He looked at Zhao Yifan. His gaze was filled with surprise and joy.

"Are you Zhuang Qiang?"

Zhao Yifan also looked surprised. She straightened her hair and stood up with a smile on her face.

"Yes I am. Yifan, I haven't seen you in two years. You are getting more beautiful by the day. I nearly did

not recognize you at all!" Zhuang Qiang smiled.

"By the way Zhuang Qiang, I thought your father sent you abroad for your studies. When did you

return?"

"I came back the day before yesterday. I happened to ask someone for your contact number. That's

right, have you guys settled the issue at the Imperial KTV? It was Lei, our classmate from high school,

who called and told me about this. He said you met with some trouble there!"

Zhuang Qiang smiled and said.

Zhao Yifan was so surprised that she covered her mouth.

Even Zhao Yifan's roommates suddenly looked as if they understood something,

"Ah! Zhuang Qiang, was it you? Did you help us out yesterday?"

Zhao Yifan looked surprised and happy at the same time.

Yesterday, Zhuang Qiang really wanted to help and he did indeed ask his father to give Li Feihong a

call.

But Li Feihong did not pick it up.

So at that moment, he did not think too much when he heard Zhao Yifan ask him whether he helped

them out or not.

He said, "Yes, yes. I did ask my father to ask around!"

Zhao Yifan was thrilled. At the same time, there was a flash of pride across her face. Women would

always be the most prideful creatures on Earth!

So everything's settled. All their doubts were clear. It turned out the person who made the call that day

wasn't Ning Fan nor was it their friends. The only person who was able to make Li Feihong act that way

was none other than her childhood friend, Zhuang Qiang.

In the past, Zhuang Qiang's father and her father were comrades in arms. Hence, her relationship with

Zhuang Qiang was very good.

However, Zhuang Qiang's family business grew too big and thus he was sent abroad to study.

Since then, they did not contact each other anymore.

She did not expect him to give everyone such a big surprise upon his return.

In addition to that, if he was able to make Li Feihong act that way, could you imagine the might of

Zhuang Qiang's family?!

"Zhuang Qiang, no matter what, thank you very much!"

Zhao Yifan was beside herself with joy. Seeing Zhao Yifan act that way, Chen Hao was incredulous.

Damn, I've just gotten rid of Ning Fan, and Zhuang Qiang comes along to steal my victory?

Chen Hao really wanted to tell them that it was him! It was him who made that call to save them!

But other than allowing Zhao Yifan and the rest of them to treat him with even more disdain, he would

not get anything from it.

But most importantly, Chen Hao did not want to associate himself too much with Zhao Yifan.

At that moment, they could do whatever they wanted!

"Yes, I came to attend one of the gatherings organized by our classmates from high school. It's just

upstairs. Yifan, I will go up to give them a toast and come downstairs later. You can introduce me to

your friends later!"

With that, Zhuang Qiang gave the girls a slight bow. He looked like a gentleman. Then he slowly left,

leaving behind a group of dumbstruck girls.

Wow! He's so cool!

"Yifan, Yifan, do tell, what's the background of your childhood friend?"

"Does he have a girlfriend?" Lin Jiao and the rest of the group were very curious.

Zhao Yifan proudly said, "This Zhuang Qiang is an amazing guy. Did you guys know about the

Prosperous Food Group? That belongs to his family. It is one of the biggest names in the food

industry!"

"Damn, it is among the top 100 listed companies among the businesses in Jin Ling. Their power is truly

formidable!"

Lin Jiao and the rest of them said in awe.

"Didn't the news report that there was something wrong with Prosperous Group's capital flow a few

days ago?"

Chen Hao was listening quietly in the corner, but after listening to them chattering away, he wanted to

join in the conversation too.

But the moment he said those words, the entire atmosphere froze.

Especially Zhao Yifan. She was glaring at him sternly.

"What do you mean? Isn't it normal to have capital flow problems? Why are you ridiculing him?"

"Humph, some people are like that. They are so envious of others that they would take advantage of

other people's weaknesses. It's really disgusting!'

Lin Jiao said condescendingly.

In that instant, Chen Hao's words nearly caused a war to break out...

"Yifan!"

A student was walking behind Zhuang Qiang and both of them came downstairs.
