I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 379 Hou Xiaoxia Felt Depressed

"I'm not going!"

Chen Hao shook his head.

"Hmph, fine! Don't go then. Why pretend to be something you're not?"

A displeased female secretary scoffed.

After that, the crowd went over to Li Liang's table to congratulate him.

Seeing how people were congratulating her boyfriend, Hou Xiaoxia glanced coldly at Chen Hao, who was sitting alone.

It was as if she wanted to see a look of shame and embarrassment on Chen Hao's face.

How dare you refuse me before! Look at the difference between us now!

Look how insignificant you are compared to Li Liang.

Did you really think I brought you here to broaden your horizons?

Well, you're wrong!

Indeed, Hou Xiaoxia intended to humiliate Chen Hao. If more people were here, Chen Hao would feel even more embarrassed!

On normal occasions, she wouldn't have felt such satisfaction from taking revenge.

Meanwhile, Wang Wen noticed how lonely Chen Hao was and figured that Hou Xiaoxia had invited him here to make a fool out of him.

So, she decided to go over to accompany him.

"Why are you going to him?"

Liang Meng yanked on her shoulder roughly.

As for Wang Wen, she didn't expect Liang Meng to react like this.

It was then she realized that Hou Xiaoxia's words earlier might have affected Liang Meng, thus Wang Wen didn't say anything.

Meanwhile, there were many people from other tables who came over to congratulate Li Liang and Hou Xiaoxia.

The whole time she was greeting these people, she would glance over at Chen Hao.

The more she looked, the more elated she became.

Just then, someone suddenly called out, "Young Master Chen!"

The person who called out to Chen Hao was a middle-aged man. He was surrounded by quite a few people and seemed to be very influential.

After he called out, the crowd quieted down immediately.

Everyone then looked in his direction.

"It really is Young Master Chen!"

Another middle-aged man shouted at this moment.

Then, around a dozen people in fancy clothes rushed toward the table at the end of the hall.

Clearly, the person they were dashing to was Chen Hao.

"Whoa, isn't that President Guo?"

"Yes, that's him. But why is he rushing over to Chen Hao?"

"You guys, look! Not only is President Guo running toward him, even General Manager Li, President Wang, and General Manager Qin are heading there as well! They look quite eager." Many of the attendees knew who President Guo was.

In fact, the people rushing over to Chen Hao were a few of the most distinguished guests at the party.

What does this mean?

Just like before, everyone had quieted down as they began to speak.

Needless to say, everyone's eyes were on them at the moment.

The people at Hou Xiaoxia's table were dumbfounded, especially Hou Xiaoxia as she was staring at Chen Hao the entire time, thus she saw everything when the group ran over. She nearly choked on her wine.

Hou Xiaoxia thought with astonishment, Young Master Chen? What's happening now? Why would a man like President Guo know a loser like Chen Hao?

The satisfaction she felt a while ago disappeared in an instant.

Replacing that satisfaction was a tinge of nervousness.

On the other hand, Wang Wen looked over to Chen Hao as well, feeling excited for some unknown reason.

As for Liang Meng, the jealousy in him grew stronger.

The crowd that was just congratulating Li Liang all looked over in that direction as well.

"You are...?" Chen Hao asked, dumbfounded. He didn't know anyone from the group that stood before him.

"Damn, what's happening? President Guo went over to greet Chen Hao, and he doesn't even know who President Guo is?"

"It's so infuriating! Does he have any manners at all? Who raised him?"

"I think that President Guo might have mistaken him for someone else. Or maybe, Chen Hao is the driver of a powerful person. Even then, how could that be? The most powerful man in here should be President Guo!"

The crowd muttered among themselves.

"Young Master Chen, perhaps my name slipped your mind. You might not know me but I do know you. Haha, here is my name card!"

President Guo laughed merrily.

In the past, he couldn't even reach Young Master Chen, yet now he had showed up to this party.

Chen Hao took the card over and glanced at it. It turned out that President Guo was in the real estate business.

His company's name looked familiar.

President Guo added, "Young Master Chen, we met last time at Miss Lin's birthday party! We were responsible for three development projects in Ping An County!"

"Oh, I remember now. How do you do, President Guo?"

Chen Hao still couldn't remember him but things would turn awkward if he were to dwell on the topic.

So, he laughed.

"Young Master Chen, cheers to you!"

"Young Master Chen, here's to you!"

Then, the group anxiously grabbed their drinks and clinked glasses with Chen Hao.

After Chen Hao finished his drink, President Guo invited Chen Hao to sit at the front but Chen Hao vehemently refused.

He told him he was fine sitting here.

Seeing how Chen Hao was unwilling to move to the front, President Guo felt somewhat apologetic. Nevertheless, he gave up persuading him.

Chen Hao then told President Guo to carry on with his business and that they could resume their conversation later on.

Naturally, President Guo accepted the proposal with delight.

After a round of clinking glasses with him, everyone turned to leave.

Hou Xiaoxia was completely dumbfounded.

"How is this possible? How did President Guo get to know Chen Hao? Why is he so respectful toward Chen Hao?"

Earlier, Hou Xiaoxia had intended to use this huge party to embarrass Chen Hao as revenge for how he had humiliated her in the past.

But now, it was like a slap in the face for Hou Xiaoxia.

The stronger her vengeance, the more painful the slap was.

Li Liang could only drink a toast to President Guo and President Wang on behalf of his father, yet now these presidents were drinking a toast to Chen Hao himself.

This awful feeling could only be understood by those in this situation.

As for Wang Wen, her eyes brightened as the surprise Chen Hao brought with him was overwhelming.

Deep down, conflicted feelings toward Chen Hao grew within her.

At that time, Hou Xiaoxia wasn't in the mood to toast anymore and she sat down depressingly.

Hou Xiaoxia asked Wang Wen anxiously, "What do you think is going on? Wen, did you hear what President Guo said to Chen Hao?"

Wang Wen shook her head.

"I only heard some parts of it, something about projects in Ping An County. That's where Chen Hao and our hometowns are at and it's now under development. Maybe that's how Chen Hao and President Guo met," Liang Meng replied sourly.

"But why would President Guo drink toast to Chen Hao?" asked Hou Xiaoxia agitatedly, as if Chen Hao had stolen something from her.

"I'm not sure. I'll ask our high school friends if they know anything."

Liang Meng then proceeded to ask his old classmates in the group chat.

Hou Xiaoxia waited anxiously.

"Damn, someone really knows!"

Suddenly, Liang Meng burst out with enthusiasm.

He explained, "It turns out that Chen Hao has a close childhood friend who is very powerful in Ping An County. This friend is in the automobile trade and has many connections!"

"So Chen Hao knew President Guo because of his childhood friend?" Hou Xiaoxia asked.

"This has to be it, since a classmate said that a childhood friend of his is really influential!" Liang Meng replied with certainty.

"Oh my God! He gave me such a fright. Even then, why does Chen Hao have such good fortune?"

Hou Xiaoxia was still quite angry.

At this time, the host of the ceremony went up on the stage.

The screen on stage then displayed a picture of a majestic mansion.

No one knew anything about this mansion but they were all awed by it.

Hou Xiaoxia covered her mouth and said, "Damn, this mansion is too amazing. It's even on top of a mountain!"
