Chapter 95: Why Don't You Diet?
at what that person is doing!""That's..." The guy also widened his eyes because he saw something unbelievable—a person sprinting from behind, actually overtaking one car after another!After a moment,...Chapter 97 Intimidating a Little Girl Lin Zihao Is Back. This news quickly spread throughout the Jianghai social elite circle, which was not surprising since Lin Zihao had invited them to attend a gala starting at seven tonight at his family's residence.
The Four Young Lords of Jianghai were well-known in the city’s social circles. Currently, Gao Mingyang was considered the number one young lord of Jianghai, but many people knew that this position was actually given to him by someone else, and that person was Lin Zihao.
Five years ago when Lin Zihao was still in Jianghai, Gao Mingyang had not even qualified to be among the Four Young Lords. Back then, he was merely Lin Zihao's attendant. But after Lin Zihao left for Beijing, Gao Mingyang took over his identity and became one of the Four Young Lords.
Of course, Gao Mingyang had considerable abilities too; within two years, he made himself the undisputed head of the Four Young Lords, truly replacing Lin Zihao's position.
Now that Lin Zihao suddenly returned to Jianghai and did so when Gao Mingyang was suffering a heavy blow, people couldn’t help but wonder if this signaled his intention to reclaim his former status as the number one young lord or perhaps even expand the Four Young Lords into Five Young Lords with him at the helm
At six o'clock that evening, outside Lin Zihao’s private villa, luxury cars were already lining up. Although the party was scheduled to start at seven, many people had arrived early. The venue for the gala was on the second floor of the villa, and almost all of Jianghai's upper echelons had gathered there. Everyone who attended believed that Lin Zihao was announcing his comeback in this manner.
When everyone saw Lin Zihao, they immediately noticed that he remained the number one young lord of Jianghai. At that moment, Gao Mingyang was respectfully following behind him, just as five years ago when Gao Mingyang had been Lin Zihao's attendant again.
However, the other three members of the Four Young Lords were nowhere to be seen, which seemed to indicate they did not recognize Lin Zihao’s identity yet. Without their acknowledgment, Lin Zihao’s prestige would naturally diminish significantly because everyone knew that those three individuals actually represented the three major Jianghai families.
Villa's second floor, men and women in groups of three or five are mingling. In this circle of celebrities, there exist smaller cliques too, but everyone is well aware that they are merely supporting characters tonight. The center of attention for the evening’s cocktail party would be Jianghai Four Young Masters—or perhaps, the future Fifth Young Master. Right now, Lin Zihao's every move is under everyone's watchful eyes.
As time went by, more and more people gathered in the hall, making it livelier than ever. However, the other three out of Jianghai Four Young Masters had yet to arrive.
The clock struck past 7:10 without them showing up, causing everyone in the hall to think they wouldn’t come at all. Just then, two young men walked in. One was fully decked out with designer labels and his fingers were almost covered by diamond rings while the other was as fat as a sumo wrestler. They turned out to be two of the Jianghai Four Young Masters—Ye Shaojie from the Ye family and Su Xiaocan from the Su family.
Due to the marriage alliance between the Ye and Su families, many people regarded them as one entity. So it wasn’t surprising for both of them to appear together, which caused everyone to secretly heave a sigh of relief. Although they were late, they eventually showed up. The only person who hadn't arrived was Qiao Donghai from the Qiao family.
"Shaoye, Xiaocan, I thought you weren’t going to come," said Lin Zihao with a smile as he walked towards them, followed closely by Gao Mingyang half a step behind him.
Ye Shaojie and Su Xiaocan couldn't help but glance at Gao Mingyang. A hint of gloom flashed across their eyes, yet they maintained smiles on their faces.
"How could we dare not show up when the Great Young Master Lin has invited us" Ye Shaoye replied with a faint smile. "It’s just that something happened back home which delayed our arrival. We hope you won’t take it too seriously, Young Master Lin."
Lin Zihao nodded slightly. "I've heard about the situation at your house, Shaoye. If there's anything I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Then I'll have to thank Mr. Lin for his generosity." Ye Shaojie said indifferently.
"We're friends, no need to be formal," Lin Zihao smiled and turned to look at Su Xiaocan, "Xiaocan, you really should lose some weight!"
"Mr. Lin, I'm actually trying hard to lose weight right now." Su Xiaocan was a bit embarrassed.
Lin Zihao smiled but didn't continue on that topic; instead, he looked at the door and muttered to himself, "Why hasn't Donghai come yet"
"Times are different from before. Xiao Qiao's status is now different, so I doubt he'll show up," Ye Shaojie said with a hint of derision in his tone. He had already learned from Su Xiaocan that Qiao Donghai was currently on good terms with the boy named Xiaotian. Thinking about how the four of them were recently plotting against Xiaotian in a private room, he felt betrayed by Qiao Donghai's change and naturally disliked him.
"Mr. Ye still enjoys talking behind people’s backs" A cold voice interrupted at this moment. As Qiao Donghai appeared within everyone's view, the former Jianghai Four Young Masters and today’s Jianghai Four Young Masters had all gathered in the hall.
Although Qiao Donghai was addressing his words to Ye Shaojie, his eyes were fixed on Lin Zihao, clearly showing his hatred for him.
Lin Zihao, however, approached with a pleased expression: "Donghai, you've finally arrived!"
"I said I would come, so I definitely will." Qiao Donghai snorted coldly. "Unlike some people, my words are not just empty talk!"
Lin Zihao looked a bit embarrassed and sighed as he forced a smile, diverting the topic with humor: "Donghai, isn't Xiaoqiao coming with you"
"Xiaoqiao already has her man to rely on. Naturally, she wouldn’t spend all day trailing after this big brother of mine." Qiao Donghai looked at Lin Zihao, his words carrying a double meaning.
Lin Zihao smiled faintly: "I heard that Xiaoqiao has an fiancé and I want to meet him. Xiaoqiao also said she would bring him to see me. Perhaps something delayed them."
"You should indeed meet him." A playful expression flashed in Qiao Donghai's eyes, as if he had some other idea in mind. In his heart though, he was wondering why weren't Qiao Xiaoqiao and Xia Tian here yet
As Qiao Donghai was pondering over this, the servants at the Lin family villa who were responsible for receiving guests felt rather puzzled as well. Because they saw a Volvo just pull up to the front gate; in such an area where luxury cars gathered, this Volvo looked quite ordinary. But that wasn't what made them most puzzled. What confused them was the young man who had just stepped out of the car first.
This person looked plain and unremarkable, dressed casually from head to toe. He even wore a pair of slightly yellowed sneakers. Every single one attending tonight’s party at this luxurious villa was impeccably dressed in formal wear—men in suits and women in evening gowns. Anyone who appeared as casually dressed as him could be counted on one hand.
Just as one servant wanted to go up to ask this fellow if he had an invitation, a clear voice rang out: "Cruel God Doctor Brother, why are you here too"
Bad guy Doctor Divine Brother
These three words actually being put together, it can't be helped but to say that the person who spoke is quite talented.
The young man who just got off the car naturally is Xia Tian. And when he heard this name, he couldn’t help turning his head and glaring at a little girl with obvious dissatisfaction in his voice, "Why can’t I be here"
This little girl was none other than Han Han, who started lending money at usurious interest rates even though she is only ten years old. Of course, she didn't come by herself; her mother Mei Ruiting was standing right beside her.
Mei Ruiting wore a low-cut evening dress that revealed her mature and seductive charm, while Han Han was dressed up like a princess in a fairy tale, very cute indeed.
"Mom said all the people here are from high society. How can you be here" Han Han looked at Xia Tian with a puzzled expression. "Dad said that you’re a fraudster, and mom said that fraudsters belong to the lowest class in society, so you must definitely be low society... "
"Han Han, don’t talk nonsense!" Mei Ruiting hurriedly stopped her daughter from continuing, while looking apologetically at Xia Tian. "Doctor Divine Xia, I’m sorry. Han Han is still young and doesn't understand much. Please forgive us."
"Mom, I didn’t speak nonsense! Dad said that the bad guy doctor brother was a fraudster!" Han Han spoke with some defiance.
"Little brat, if you call me a fraud again, I'll beat you up!" Xia Tian was not happy.
"Evil genius doctor brother, since you're an adult and I'm just a child, it would be shameful for you to bully me as a kid," Hanhan said seriously.
Xia Tian felt annoyed; this little girl was really troublesome, he truly couldn't bring himself to hit her.
"Haha, evil genius doctor brother, are you too scared to hit me" Hanhan seemed proud and raised her head to look at Mei Ruting, boasting, "Mommy, am I awesome"
"Who said I'm afraid of hitting you" Xia Tian grumbled. "Little brat, I warn you, if you dare call me a fraud again, I'll kill your dad and take your mom as my wife. Then, I'd become your father. Every day, I would lock you at home and not let you go out. When you grow up, I'll kidnap you too to be my wife, and every night, I'll spank your bottom!"
"Ah..." Hanhan was momentarily stunned, then her little face turned pale while Mei Ruting beside her looked like a wooden chicken.
“Boy, what did you say” A shout of anger rang in Xia Tian’s ears.
Xia Tian glanced sideways and saw two men approaching. One of them was Liu Yunman's third uncle, Liu Qi who was also Mei Ruting's husband. The other man was a middle-aged fellow in his forties with a fat head and big ears; his eyes were squinted into slits, making it hard to see that he even had eyeballs.Since you won't leave, then I'll go!""Senior Sister Policewoman, no matter where you go, I will follow you tonight to protect you," Summer said with a smile.Hearing this, Cold Ice, who had just reache...
