Chapter 214 A Failed Attempt at Showing Off
“What did you say?” Chen Hao was shocked by her words.
What does she mean by staying at my house for a few days? How would I allow this? And not to
mention that I have to call Su Tongxin every day!
It’s a fact that I already have a girlfriend even though she is studying abroad now. How is it acceptable
for me to stay in a house alone with another girl?
Chen Hao didn’t feel right to do so.
“No, I can’t agree to this,” Chen Hao said.
“Oh, it’s fine then. I thought there would be someone who is willing to help me. I understand…”Qin Ya
said disappointedly.
“What happened?” Chen Hao asked curiously.
Thinking about it, it’s not like Qin Ya to ask to stay at my house without any reason.
Don’t tell me that Qin Ya likes me?
Haha, Chen Hao wasn’t that narcissistic to that extent.
He was just curious about it.
“I’m engaged,” Qin Ya said after a pause.
“Oh, congratulations…” Chen Hao felt something was off judging by her tone. He then asked carefully,
“It's good news right? Who are you engaged to?”
“Li Yue. My father’s business has met a crisis recently, so he needs help from Li Yue’s family’s
business to overcome this crisis. Since Li Yue has been courting me recently and his dad has also
come to propose our marriage, my dad agreed on our marriage and wants me to marry Li Yue. His dad
has also saved my mother’s life before.”
“But I don’t want to get engaged. You know, sometimes, I feel like I’m dreaming. I have so many plans
and goals to accomplish, and I should only think about marriage when I’m 30 years old. But now I
haven’t even graduated yet but I am engaged to someone. Not to mention it’s to someone I don’t like. I
feel so helpless!”
“I thought of running away from home, but Li Yue seems to know all of my friends, he’ll surely find me.
You are the only one I thought I could seek for help, but I didn’t expect you to ignore me too!” As she
said that, Qin Ya burst into tears.
Listening to her, Chen Hao finally found out what was going on.
Anyone would be upset to encounter this kind of situation.
Furthermore, he was one of the indirect reasons that caused this situation.
He was the one who saved Qin Ya’s mother but he didn’t admit that as he didn’t want to have much
interaction with Qin Ya in the future.
And this ended up being used by Li Yue to act as a hero in front of the Qin family.
To be frank, I have to bear part of the responsibility for putting Qin Ya in this kind of situation.
What should I do now?
Obviously Qin Ya wants to hide or run away from home to protest to her father.
That’s why she thought to come over to my place to stay for a while.
Should he just refuse her and ask her to go back and get married? To be honest, Chen Hao felt it was
such a waste for Qin Ya to get married to a bastard like Li Yue, like putting a flower on a pile of cow
dung.
But how did he want to explain to Tongxin if he allowed Qin Ya to stay at his house?
Besides, he felt sorry for Qin Ya too if he really turned her down.
Chen Hao thought of a term—karma. Sooner or later, he had to pay for what he had done before.
“Alright then. You can come to my house. I have to tell you first, I’m not living in my hometown. I’m
living in the county now. And you have to go back home once the matter has been settled,” Chen Hao
said.
This happened because of him so naturally he had to take up the responsibility to solve it.
It was simple to solve this matter—once he revealed his identity, everything would be settled. That was
why he dared to allow Qin Ya to stay at his house.
“Sure! Thank you so much, Chen Hao! I love you to death! Don’t worry, I just want to frighten and
threaten my dad into turning down the marriage,” Qin Ya said happily.
After he hung up the call, he still felt it was a little inappropriate.
But he couldn’t care much about it since he had promised to Qin Ya to help her.
Moreover, the hotel that he was staying at now was actually a suite which was suitable for two people
to stay together.
Since Chen Hao had to look after Mr. Wu and have discussions with Li Zhenguo and others, he had
booked a larger room.
Chen Hao had also decided to stop keeping a low profile and hiding his identity from Qin Ya.
Early the next day, Qin Ya came to meet Chen Hao by train.
As for Chen Hao, he had gone to the station to pick her up in his Mercedes Benz G500.
If it wasn’t because he had left his Lamborghini at Cloud Mansion, he would have come to fetch her in
his Lamborghini.
He wanted to let her know about his identity, then help her solve the matter. Chen Hao thought it should
be a simple task.
He stopped his Mercedes Benz G500 at the station. As expected, it attracted a crowd who stopped to
look at it.
There were even some young girls who came with their mobile phones to take photos or videos of it.
After all, the car was worth more than two million!
“My god! There is a G500 in our Ping An County! Whose car do you think it is? It must belong to a
young master!”
“That’s right. Oh my god, do I look pretty today? What if the young master falls in love with me once he
sees me when he gets out of the car?”
“Hahaha, stop daydreaming!”
“Sisters, let’s go say hi!” the young girls whispered to each other shyly and chuckled from time to time.
“The owner of this car must be very rich huh?” Suddenly, an old lady in her eighties who was on
crutches went forward to the young girls and asked.
“Of course! This G500 costs more than two million! Granny, don’t tell me that you think you have a
chance. He is a young master after all…” the girls said in laughter.
“What’s wrong with being old? I have my right to pursue my happiness! Hmph!” The old granny snorted
in disdain and trotted to the car on her crutches.
The young girls followed and ran towards the car too.
There were more and more people at the station who came to look at the car.
Chen Hao took a deep breath while sitting in the car.
This was the first time he was so high profile.
Back then, he had always kept a low profile. Every time he did something that might attract the
spotlight, he felt a thrill deep in his heart.
As if he wanted to say ‘I have waited for this opportunity for three years. I’m doing this not because I
want to show off to others how great I am. I just want to tell them that I will take back what I’ve lost
before this!’
Phew…
Chen Hao put on his sunglasses, took out his car key and got ready to get out of the car in front of
everyone.
Bang!
However, he seemed to knock into something as he opened the car door, followed by a horrible scream
in pain.
A white haired old lady fell on the ground after her crutches were knocked away.
Sh*t!
Chen Hao’s mind went blank immediately.
“Young man, i-i-is your car alright?” The old lady lying on the ground howled in fear.
“What happened?” Some people immediately came forward to find out what was going on, and soon, a Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
crowd formed in front of them.
“Cough, what else could have happened? The young man opened the car door and knocked down the
old lady. In fact, I saw that the old lady trot to the door herself! I guess she purposely got knocked down
by the car door to claim medical cost compensation!”
“Oh I see!”
But there were some people who came to rubberneck without knowing the whole event.
“Oh no, why is this young fella so careless? I guess it would cost a lot for him to repair his car!” some of
the people in the crowd said.
Chen Hao had no choice but to walk out from his car to help the old lady.
“Don’t come here. It isn’t your fault because I’m the one who knocked on the door myself. I only have
an old mother at home and I don’t have any children. I really can’t afford to pay for compensation!” The
old lady burst into tears.
“Don’t be afraid, granny. What’s so special about being rich? Even if he's rich, he ought to be sorry and
compensate for knocking people down. He’s the one who knocked you down with his car door. Don’t be
afraid, we’re on your side!” A few sympathetic young men shouted aggressively.
After a while, the traffic police came.
Naturally, they had to clear the crowd.
Although the old lady might have had the intention to blackmail Chen Hao, it was Chen Hao who
opened the door and knocked her down.
Therefore, Chen Hao went to the police station to file a report after sending the old lady to the hospital.
He was speechless about the whole incident.
As a compensation, he gave some money to the old lady, and it took him about forty minutes to deal
with the entire incident.
As he was about to leave the hospital, he received a phone call from Qin Ya.
“Didn’t you say that you were coming to fetch me? Where are you?”
“Oh, I’m heading there now!” Chen Hao replied quickly.
“It’s fine, you don’t have to. I’ve taken a cab to meet you!”
