I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 265

“Young Master Chen, I wanted to ask you something. You mentioned previously that you wanted to arrange living quarters for the workers of the company, and that you wanted to choose the building. If you’re busy, I can go settle it since I will be returning to Ping An County today!” Li Zhenguo said.

“There’s no need, I have already chosen the location. I’ll inform you after I buy it, then you can come over and deal with the handover! For now, just help me with the pendant,” Chen Hao said.

“Alright, Young Master Chen. One more thing. It’s something a little more personal, hehe. Your birthday is coming soon, and following tradition, we have to hold a lively birthday celebration for you this year. Where do you think it should be held?”

“I just want to spend it at home. As for liveliness, I don’t think that will be necessary. Just the few of you coming over for a meal will be enough.”

Young Master Chen had not really had a proper birthday celebration since he was young. Back then, his birthday was spent on his own with a good meal, or with Uncle and Aunt Wu, who brought him out for good food.

After all, ever since high school, both his parents and his older sister weren’t at home anymore.

Even if Chen Hao wanted to celebrate, no one was there to accompany him.

Li Zhenguo answered with resignation, “Alright, I understand.”

After hearing Li Zhenguo’s confirmation, Chen Hao hung up the phone.

Regarding the purchase of living quarters, Chen Hao had already chosen the location.

He would just buy from the sales office he bought from last time.

After all, this place was close to the company and the environment was very good.

Since he didn’t get to have his meal, Chen Hao walked toward the sales office, wanting to settle the matter quickly.

Currently, two cars were parked in front of the sales office.

Around six or seven people, both male and female, had gotten out of the car.

The manager of the sales office said politely, “Misters and Misses, good day. Are you all looking for a house? I can bring you to look around!”

One of the girls said, “The two of them are looking to buy a house to settle down in. We’re just following them to look around!”

“I say, Mingxue. Your boyfriend’s family’s house is so big. I don’t think living with his parents would be too bad, you don’t really need a new house, right? Plus, this housing area is the most expensive one in Ping An County!”

Indeed, the ones who were looking to buy a house were Li Mingxue and her boyfriend.

At this moment, a girl told Li Mingxue this.

Another girl said, “I think living apart from your parents is better. Living with your parents-in-law can be rather troublesome. This is so much better in comparison! You can enjoy your undisturbed time together.”

“Yeah, exactly. That’s what we were thinking. We should move out and enjoy our time as a couple together. Chen Lin, didn’t you say that you also found a pretty impressive boyfriend? Why isn’t he here today?” Li Mingxue asked Chen Lin.

They were all close classmates in high school, and now that they had all returned, the few of them who used to be closer naturally hung out together. Immediately after Li Mingxue got off work at the hospital, they accompanied her to look for houses.

Everyone had come together to have some fun.

“My boyfriend… won’t be coming!” Chen Lin said slightly awkwardly.

Boyfriend? It was just her faking that Chen Hao was her boyfriend. Sigh. It wasn’t real.

“How about you, Shihan? Didn’t you say that your boyfriend was coming too?” Li Mingxue asked Li Shihan.

“He will be arriving in a bit!” Li Shihan eyed Chen Lin before smiling at Li Mingxue.

Almost everyone here had heard about what happened between Chen Lin and Li Shihan, so they tactfully avoided the more sensitive topics.

“I think we should choose houses first. After that, we can go off and have fun!” Li Gang said.

Thus, the crowd started picking out houses.

Either way, they had things to talk about.

Li Shihan then asked, “Right, during our gathering, why weren’t Jiang Xueqing and Li Wenyang there? Previously, Li Wenyang would definitely have showed up at events like that!”

“Don’t talk about it. Li Wenyang’s family is dealing with some things, so he can’t come out. As for Xueqing, I called her but she said she wasn’t feeling well, so she didn’t come either.”

“Ah, then we’ll just have to meet next time. Right, Mingxue! You haven’t told us, how did your career develop so quickly? How did you become an official doctor so quickly?” Li Shihan asked curiously.

At this, Li Gang looked extremely embarrassed. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Li Mingxue also coughed awkwardly and said, “It was Chen Hao who helped. Of course, Li Gang also helped me a lot!”

“Chen Hao?”

Once they heard Chen Hao’s name, Li Shihan and Chen Lin were both anxious.

To be honest, Li Shihan had asked about a lot of classmates. It almost seemed like she didn’t just return from Jin Ling City, but from overseas instead. She didn’t seem to know anything about anyone anymore and she wanted to know what every classmate was doing.

But actually, the question both Chen Lin and Li Shihan wanted to ask wasn’t really about any other classmate but Chen Hao.

After all, the current Chen Hao was a sensitive topic for both Li Shihan and Chen Lin.

“Yeah! You all might not know, but Chen Hao is really powerful now! He’s different from before!” Li Mingxue looked thankful as she said this.

Chen Lin and Li Shihan both thought, As if we didn’t already know by now how different he is.

“Hmph, he only just got to know a few people. What’s so great about meeting more people?” Li Gang said indignantly.

Chen Hao had stolen his thunder, causing Li Gang’s status in class to drop very quickly. Previously, everyone would always talk about Li Gang and Li Wenyang.

But now, the one who was discussed the most was Chen Hao.

As the crowd chatted, a girl suddenly said in shock, “Guys, look! Isn’t that Chen Hao? Why is he at the sales office?”

“Huh?”

At that, the crowd got taken aback. They turned around to look and saw Chen Hao.

“It really is Chen Hao!” Chen Lin said, her face full of surprise.

To be honest, Chen Lin had messaged Chen Hao a couple of times after she returned.

But Chen Hao didn’t reply to a single one.

So Chen Lin had been overthinking these past few days. Did Chen Hao not like her anymore?

On the other hand, Li Shihan felt a little surprised and happy.

But after that, she felt disappointed.

Chen Hao was now super capable and was even driving a Mercedes G500, but he no longer treated her well like he used to. In fact, he was extremely cold toward her.

Either way, the both of them had thoughts of their own.

Li Mingxue seemed to have noticed something. She asked, “Chen Lin, Li Shihan, did something happen between the two of you and Chen Hao in Jin Ling?”

“No, nothing happened. If you want to talk about something, all I can say is how he used to treat someone amazingly, but now, he barely recognizes her! Hehe,” Chen Lin mocked.

Hmph! Didn’t he just fetch you that one time? What is there to boast about? And who said Chen Hao doesn’t recognize me anymore? Li Shihan thought angrily.

It looked like the two of them were about to start arguing.

The other girl glanced around and said, “Why don’t we all go over there to sit down? Then we’ll wait for Chen Hao to come in and see who he greets first. Wouldn’t we be able to tell then?”

“Alright, we can also give Chen Hao a surprise. When he turns to find all of us sitting here, it will probably give him a shock!” Li Mingxue said, smiling.

Li Gang’s face was full of jealousy.

But when he saw that the crowd had all moved to the sofa on the side, he also went there.

Right at that moment, Chen Hao happened to walk across the road and into the sales office.
