CHAPTER 284 TROUBLES

Standing behind them, Chen Hao felt really helpless. Great! There was always someone who took the

credit for everything he did. He thought things would be different this time but he was wrong.

What an idiot Yu Qiang is! Why can’t you use your brain and think clearly? How is it possible that you

called Assistant Manager Wang but in the end it was the manager who called and arranged everything

in person? Chen Hao thought to himself.

Then, Chen Hao realized everything turned out this way because of him keeping a low profile.

However, he had no other choice because he did not want to reveal himself, especially to Wu Qian and

her friends. Chen Hao felt helpless as all he could do was to suffer in silence.

When entering the place, Chen Hao and his gang were joined by the other group of visitors which were

led by the girl who asked for Yu Qiang’s help earlier.

The girl was grateful with Yu Qiang’s help, which made her admiration for him to have increased. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Meanwhile, Lin Yue felt threatened by the girl because she was also quite pretty and was being

flirtatious with Yu Qiang. So, Lin Yue was slightly annoyed and she kept rolling her eyes at the girl.

“Take my bag!” Lin Yue walked toward Chen Hao. After throwing her bag at Chen Hao, she returned to

Yu Qiang’s side in distress.

“Yu Qiang, where shall we go later? Aren’t you going to take me to the hot spring and have some

delicious food?” Lin Yue asked Yu Qiang in a flirtatious manner.

She decided to be more aggressive in her pursuit; Lin Yue and Yu Qiang already had feelings for each

other thanks to Wang Hao and Wu Qian’s help, in addition to Lin Yue’s beauty. They were so close to

becoming a couple officially that Lin Yue was not going to risk losing his soon-to-be boyfriend to a

newcomer.

“Sure, no problem. We can do that,” Yu Qiang said with a smile.

“Yu Qiang, she’s very pretty! Is she your girlfriend?” the girl asked with a smile.

in Yue stood staring at Yu Qiang quietly.

“No. She’s my close friend.” Yu Qiang smiled bitterly.

“Oh yeah, Miss, what’s your name?” The girl looked gorgeous and elegant.

“I’m Wang Min. Thanks for your help just now. Let’s be friends?” She smiled.

“Sure!” Yu Qiang then added Wang Min in WeChat, much to Lin Yue’s dismay.

Chen Hao thought the girl resembled Wang Xiao. He was sure about her identity as soon as he heard

her name. It can’t be! What a coincidence! Chen Hao thought.

Wu Qian was surprised too when she heard the name. But she was unsure about it and so she asked,

“Oh yeah, do you know Mr. Wang Hongfei?”

“Eh? That’s my grandfather!” Wang Min said.

“Holy smoke! What a coincidence! My grandfather is Wu Baihua. Wang Min, do you know him?”

“Ah!” Wang Min was surprised too. How could she not know Wu Baihua? It was Wu Baihua, her

grandfather’s employee, who introduced that loser, Chen Hao, to her.

“Yes, I know. You must be Uncle Wu’s granddaughter, Wu Qian. We met a few times when we were

young!” Wang Min instantly got closer with Wu Qian.

Chen Hao felt a little awkward. That’s one hell of a coincidence!

Luckily, Uncle Wu did not mention anything about the blind date when he invited Chen Hao over for

lunch at noon yesterday. Apparently, Wu Qian drove to Uncle Wu’s house only after Uncle Wu had

called Chen Hao. Although Uncle Wu was curious about the outcome of the meeting, he did not ask

about the matter in front of Wu Qian; Chen Hao did not mention it either.

They only talked about the matter in the afternoon after lunch.

Uncle Wu knew it would be troublesome if Wu Qian discovered that he introduced a nice girl to Chen

Hao instead of Wu Feng. Because Wu Qian would tell Wu Feng about it and Uncle Wu did not want Wu

Feng to misunderstand him. So, Uncle Wu discussed the matter with Chen Hao privately to avoid more

unnecessary trouble.

Holy smoke! So this is Wang Xiao’s sister, the one I was supposed to meet on the blind date. She

definitely looks gorgeous and elegant! Chen Hao could barely take his eyes off Wang Min.

The situation now was that Wang Min became closer and conversed happily with more people in their

group; Wang Min chatted with Yu Qiang because she wanted to get to know more about Yu Qiang,

probably due to his help earlier, but she also chatted with Wu Qian after finding out they were

acquaintances through the conversation earlier.

On the other hand, Lin Yue was jealous of Wang Min and Yu Qiang. She threw some fits of anger

throughout their conversations. Due to his close relationship with Lin Yue, Yu Qiang simply put up with

her fits without saying anything. As for Chen Hao, he was long forgotten and ignored by his fellow

friends.

They strolled around the place for over two hours. It was already a few minutes past eleven o’clock

when they finally stopped for lunch. There were loads of restaurants within the scenic zone. So, Yu

Qiang suggested they should continue their chat in a restaurant. Wang Min and her group agreed to his

suggestion. Soon, all of them were having lunch together in a restaurant.

Chen Hao put down the bags and sat down.

“Who asked you to sit?” A voice yelled at Chen Hao unexpectedly; it was Lin Yue.

“It’s lunch time! Why can’t I sit down?” Chen Hao said, glaring at Lin Yue.

Jealousy crept through Lin Yue when she saw that Yu Qiang was busy chatting non-stop with Wang

Min while neglecting her since they entered the restaurant. So, she threw a tantrum and scolded Chen

Hao angrily to make her presence felt.

“Chen Hao, who do you think you are to even sit here and have lunch with us? Why don’t you look at

yourself in the mirror? How dare a person like you have lunch together with us! Don’t you feel ashamed

at all with yourself when you try to associate yourself with someone of high social status like us?” Lin

Yue scolded, obviously throwing hints at Wang Min and her group as she turned her focus at Chen

Hao.

“Why should I be ashamed of myself?” Chen Hao was infuriated by Lin Yue’s words.

“That’s enough, Chen Hao. Why are you being angry with Lin Yue? Do you even consider yourself as a

gentleman for being angry with a lady when she’s just scolded you a little?” Wu Qian saw Lin Yue was

very unhappy today for being at a disadvantage in her pursuit of Yu Qiang. So, she decided to help Lin

Yue take her anger out on Chen Hao and scolded him too.

“Chen Hao?” Wang Min stared at Chen Hao with her bright eyes. Chen Hao is the one who I was

supposed to meet on a blind date! That’s him?

“Oh! Wang Min, you probably don’t know him. He is my grandfather’s neighbor. The house he stays in

belongs to us. He just rented it. We asked him to come and help us with our bags today. I promised

that I’ll treat him to a nice lunch for his hard work.” Wu Qian was worried that an argument might break

out between Lin Yue and Wang Min. So, she took the opportunity to change the subject quickly.

“Oh yes, I see!” Wang Min’s face turned red and she looked at Chen Hao awkwardly.

Wang Min had loads of imagination on Chen Hao’s appearance. She thought even though Chen Hao

was poor, he would at least be good-looking or had an interesting personality. But she never thought

that Chen Hao—though rather good-looking—would be such a lowlife who would carry other people’s

bags in exchange for a free lunch!

Based on Wu Qian’s reaction, it seemed that she was oblivious of the blind date. Nevertheless, Wang

Min would never talk about the blind date since Wu Qian and Chen Hao did not mention it either.

“Excuse me, Miss. You have dishes coming in your way!” The waitress came with a tray full of dishes.

She warned the standing Lin Yue about the dishes behind her.

Lin Yue turned around and bumped into the dishes, almost flipping over the tray; some soup spilled on

her arms.

“I’m sorry, Miss. Are you alright?” The waitress apologized politely.

Smack! Suddenly, Lin Yue raised her hand and slapped the waitress across the face.

“Damn! Are you blind? How dare you spill the soup all over me?” Lin Yue was not in a good mood due

to jealousy. She had been trying to make her presence felt since this morning but without success. And

now, because of the waitress, she was humiliated in front of Yu Qiang. So, she took her anger out on

the waitress.

The waitress looked like she had just graduated from high school; she seemed very young and the skin

on her face was soft and delicate. The slap had startled her.

Chen Hao and the gang were surprised by the slap too; they did not expect that Lin Yue would dare to

slap her.

“Jun Yue, what happened? Who slapped you?” A female lobby manager of the restaurant and some

waiters rushed toward Jun Yue. They respectfully and fearfully supported the waitress who was

slapped by Lin Yue, while the lobby manager’s face turned pale.

“It’s her. She’s the one who slapped me!” Jun Yue cried while holding her face.

“How dare you slap her? Do you know who she is?” The lobby manager snapped at Lin

Yue.
