I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 276

“Young Master Chen?” Jiang Xueqing and Li Wenyang were stunned.

Everyone in the Marketing Department was taken aback.

“Alright, I’ll go over right now!” Chen Hao answered.

“Chen Hao, y-you’re Young Master Chen?” Jiang Xueqing asked in surprise.

Xu Xin’s mother had joked about it when she treated Jiang Xueqing and the others to a meal. She had said that Chen Hao might be Jin Ling’s Young Master Chen.

At the time, Jiang Xueqing had gotten a shock, too.

She had thought about it. She was so familiar with Chen Hao. How could he possibly be Young Master Chen, currently one of the richest young masters to their understanding?

But right now, after hearing President Li call out this name, Jiang Xueqing’s mind went blank.

Oh my god, Chen Hao was the Young Master Chen?

“Yup!” Chen Hao nodded at Jiang Xueqing with a faint smile.

After that, he left under the startled gaze of the workers.

As for Li Wenyang, he had originally been brought in by Jiang Xueqing to look for his father. But now, his eyes were empty as he collapsed onto a seat nearby.

“Damn, Chen Hao really is a rich second generation heir! He’s also our Chairman! No wonder he had so many concert tickets. I told you guys, he’s not just an average man! But still, I never expected him to be our Chairman!” After Chen Hao left, everyone in the Marketing Department started to go wild.

Luckily we didn’t offend our Chairman! Some girls thought in fear.

In general, the atmosphere was now extremely strange.

Everyone was utterly flabbergasted.

As for Wang Junsheng and the others, it wasn’t hard to settle this issue.

They didn’t just confess to the things they did, but had also exposed a few other people from other departments that hadn’t been discovered.

Most of the culprits were people from Ping An County of Jin Ling City.

That was easy to settle, too. All of them were just handed straight to the police to be dealt with.

Liu Yanan had looked at Chen Hao with a complicated expression many times as they were being taken away, and she looked like she wanted to ask him for help. But Chen Hao had paid zero attention to her.

He had already given her a chance.

Since you used our relationship to set me up, then don’t blame me for not standing up for you now.

This incident was finally over.

“Young Master Chen, there’s only four more days left until your birthday. How do you want to spend it? Miss Chen Xiao also called me, saying that since it’s your first birthday after leaving the poor life, we must have a proper celebration for you!” Li Zhenguo said once they reached downstairs.

“How else can I spend it? Uncle and Aunt Wu have always celebrated it with me, and things won’t be different this year. I still want to spend it at home, but this time, you all should join as well. There will be

about twenty of us, and it’s already the biggest crowd I’ve ever had for a birthday celebration, hehe!” Chen Hao laughed.

Chen Hao didn’t have many true friends apart from Li Xiao, who had been his close friend ever since they were young.

He didn’t have any money or power, so who would want to hang around a poor loser like himself?

That was why Chen Hao didn’t invite many people for this birthday party.

Apart from Li Zhenguo, Zhao Zixing, Bai Xiaofei and Ling Yiyi, he also invited Li Xiao and Su Ting.

Gathering these people who usually hung out together was a pretty good idea.

Chen Hao didn’t want to spread the word around too much.

After that, Chen Hao kept his things and prepared to return to town.

As for Zhao Zixing, he was looking rather uneasy.

Li Zhenguo had noticed it early on, but he only asked now, “Zhao Zixing, did you have something that you didn’t tell Young Master Chen?”

Zhao Zixing scratched his head anxiously. “I told everyone about Young Master Chen’s birthday being four days from now! But Young Master Chen just said he wanted to celebrate it subtly!”

“What?! You told everyone about it?” Li Zhenguo said, his face full of shock…

At five in the evening, Chen Hao flagged down a taxi to send him back to the small town.

Chen Hao could definitely return now in an extravagant manner. Even if he wanted to arrange for a procession to send him home, it wouldn’t be a problem.

However, Uncle Wu’s family did not know about Chen Hao being Young Master Chen.

If he went back that way, first of all, it would be too grand of an affair, and Chen Hao did not like feeling like he was showing off.

Secondly, he would have to explain to Uncle Wu and the rest of the family about everything, including the money he used to pay for Uncle Wu’s hospital bill as well as his own true identity, even though he had nothing left to hide from the two elders.

That was why it was better for him to return to his old home in a more subtle manner.

On the way, he saw that the roads were all being paved.

Chen Hao was clear that even his own little town was about to start undergoing developments.

“Young man, do you live in this town?” The driver asked with a smile. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to enjoy striking up conversations.

Chen Hao nodded.

“Congratulations, young man! Your whole town is about to start undergoing some serious developments, and almost everyone will have opportunities now. They aren’t just distributing houses, but are also supplying the people with demolition fees. They have also created many jobs! You look like a college student, so you’re going to have plenty of chances to develop your career here in the future!”

“Yeah, that sounds pretty good!”

As they chatted along the way, they arrived at Chen Hao’s house in no time.

They called it a town, but actually, Chen Hao’s old home was in a small village within the town.

It was considered a town village.

In the village, there were many families who owned mills and made a living selling tofu skin and tofu.

Before, whenever he returned to the village, the most attractive thing about it was how the air was filled with the fragrance of soybeans.

However, when he returned to the village this time, the fragrance he was looking forward to had reduced by a significant amount.

“Wow, the university student has returned!”

“Why haven’t you brought a girlfriend back home?”

“Chen Hao, have you gotten a job? A university student like you should be able to find a good job, right?”

The moment he stepped into the village, a bunch of villagers came forward and started bombarding him with questions.

“Not yet!” Chen Hao said with a smile.

“Hmph, I think it’s useless for him to have gone to university! He can’t even measure up to those that dropped out of school to work starting from a young age!” Some women said contemptuously.

People should be more careful of what they say.

Chen Hao didn’t hang around to talk.

After a turn, he reached his house.

He took out his key to open the door, but realized that the locks had been changed and he could no longer open the door.

“What’s going on?” Chen Hao said unhappily.

“Hehe, it’s you, Chen Hao! You’re back!” At that moment, a woman walked out of Uncle Wu’s house, which was next to Chen Hao’s. She was Uncle Wu’s second daughter-in-law, Sun Hongxia. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She was chewing on sunflower seeds as she walked toward Chen Hao.

“Aunty, who changed the locks of my house?” Chen Hao asked with a bitter smile.

He had met Sun Hongxia before, and he had greeted her when they were at the hospital.

She was a gold-digger. She would only take advantage of others, and she was not willing to suffer on anyone’s terms.

“Ah, I was the one who changed them. Why?” Sun Hongxia said.

“Then what about my house keys?” Chen Hao asked.

“Hehe, what do you mean by ‘your house’? Chen Hao, do you know who this house belongs to? Hmph! I know exactly what you came back to do. You heard that our houses were being demolished and you wanted to come back to claim some of that money, right? I’m telling you, forget it! This house is mine! It’s written clearly on the deed!” Sun Hongxia said with a completely different attitude.

Of course Chen Hao knew what she was talking about.

He had heard his father talk about it before.

At first, when his parents moved to this village, Uncle Wu owned two houses. One was their own house, and the other was this one.

Then, his parents had bought one of the houses with their own money.

To be honest, twenty years ago, there was no such thing as a proper deed.

At the time, they had just signed a simple contract.

What was more, it was signed when his father and Uncle Wu were having drinks.

After so many years, he had no idea where his father had put the contract.

At that time, no one had imagined that anyone from Uncle Wu’s family would try to snatch the house back forcefully.

That was the thing.

Sun Hongxia had also heard about the demolition of their houses. That was why she wanted to have this house for her own, so that she could receive the demolition fees of almost a couple hundred thousand.

“Chen Hao, you’re back! Don’t listen to your aunt’s nonsense. This house belongs to your family, and no one can take it from you!”

Right at that moment, Uncle Wu heard the commotion and walked out…
