âYou are?â
Chen Hao looked at her coolly. She greets in such a weird way!
Is she suffering from some mental issues?
Seeing that Shen Yanli actually hit the back of Chen Haoâs head, Wei Guifang and the rest trembled in shock.
She ran over and stood behind Chen Hao.
âGo on! Go on pretending, Chen Hao!â Shen Yanli said.
âWhat do you mean by âpretendingâ? Do we know each other?â Chen Hao asked, exasperated.
He honestly couldnât remember that he knew this woman.
âHa-ha! Fine, let me remind you then. Let me ask youâdid you have your primary education in Ping An Country? Ping An Country Third Primary School?â Shen Yanli asked, laughing coldly.
âYeah, how did you know that?â Chen Hao nodded.
âHa-ha-ha! Then, were you in the second class when you were in primary three?â Shen Yanli continued asking.
âYouâre right!â
Chen Hao felt something was off. Who is this woman? She even knew which class I was in!
Sheâs right. In the six years of primary school, Iâd always been in the second class since primary one until primary six.
âGrandmother, have you heard that? I told you I know him!â
Shen Yanli laughed and danced happily.
Witnessing the entire exchange between them, Wei Guifang knew everything, and her expression changed immediately as she smiled disparagingly.
âYou are?â Chen Hao looked at her in confusion.
âIâm Shen Yanli! Trying to pretend that you donât know me? Hmph! I transferred to that lousy school of yours when I was in primary three and became the monitor of your class. You were the poorest of all in our class. Have you forgotten? Thereâs once a guy stole my classmateâs stuff and blamed it on you, so I splashed water to your face. I even asked my dad to bring his men to stop you on the road, and resulted in you missing a few days of school because you are scared!â Shen Yanli said disdainfully.
Shen Yanli?
Only then did Chen Hao remember her. Ah, I see. Sheâs Shen Yanli.
Indeed, she transferred into their class and became their monitor when they were in primary three.
When they were younger, because she wore the best clothes and she was the monitor of the class, everyone was afraid of her.
Of course, she had never respected Chen Hao even once.
The deepest impression she left in Chen Hao was the water incident.
At that time, someone in their class stole her pretty eraser and blamed it on him.
Then, she got anxious.
However, it wasnât as simple as splashing water to his face. It was in winter, and she got hot water in the flask. She splashed the hot water onto Chen Haoâs face directly, almost getting his face disfigured.
For the few days when Chen Hao missed school, it was because he went to the health center to put some lotion on his face, not because he was afraid of her.
He hated this vicious monitor at that time.
However, she transferred schools again when they were in primary five, and she slowly disappeared in Chen Haoâs life.
Ha! The world is so small!
Why do I keep running into my old classmates? I could even meet my primary classmate whom Iâve completely forgotten now!
Chen Hao couldn't help chuckling bitterly.
âItâs you! I finally remember now!â Chen Hao nodded.
âOh! âItâs you! I finally remember now!ââ she mimicked. âChen Hao, donât tell me that you are still pretending now! I canât tell that youâve grown so much after not seeing you for around ten-twenty years.
How dare you even try to impersonate Young Master Chen now?â Shen Yanliâs eyes suddenly become fierce and cold.
âWhat? Impersonate Young Master Chen?â
Everyone was also shocked as they looked incredulously at Shen Yanli.
âDonât find it difficult to believe, everyone! This man is not Young Master Chen! His name is Chen Hao, and he comes from the countryside, Ping An County. Heâs been poor since young! Fine, Iâll ask someone to find our old photographs instantly! Youâll know after you look at them!â
When they were in primary school, they had class photographs, and Shen Yanli had the habit of keeping old photographs.
Shen Yanli took the pictures to show everyone. It was Chen Hao when he was a kid indeed!
âOMG! He really is Miss Shenâs primary classmate! And his clothes are so shabby?â
Everyone was shocked after they looked at the pictures.
âXinhua, usually youâre quite active, but Iâve never thought that you would stoop this low! We know that you were upset after Tongxin went missing, and you were helpless and disappointed after Young Master Chen ignored you. You want to get your dignity back in the business area, but you canât possibly do such an immoral act! Weâre already at such an age, is it worth it?â Wei Guifang laughed.
Everyoneâs expression changed immediately.
The people who were sitting next to Su Guoqiang and serving him tea stopped smiling and immediately left the bench in disgust.
Like everyone else, they looked at the members of the Su Family disdainfully.
âWhat do you mean by âimpersonateâ and âimmoralâ? He is Young Master Chen! Wei Guifang, donât spout nonsense!â Zhang Xinhua said angrily.
âHa-ha! Until now youâre still unwilling to admit it? If you really want to find someone to impersonate Young Master Chen, at least find someone like my grandson-in-law, whoâs a fine, young lad! Look at who youâve found?â Wei Guifang laughed loudly.
âThatâs right! Do you think a broke fella like him is able to impersonate Young Master Chenâs rich gait?
The Su Family is always talking about Su Tongxin! She has disappeared! And you kept on imagining that Young Master Chen will come back and care about you? You think Su Tongxin is an angel?â
Shen Yanliâs jealousy had gotten the better of her.
After all, her husband had once proposed to Su Tongxin.
âShen Yanli, I donât know whatâs going on with you, but you better donât insult Tongxin!â Chen Hao said stonily.
âHa-ha! The more you want me to shut up, the more I wonât! The older generation of the Su Family is such a disgrace, so is the younger generation too! To think of finding someone so poor to impersonate Young Master Chen! Are you guys deliberately doing this to disgust us?â Shen Yanli scoffed, glaring at Tang Ran furiously.
âWhoâs a disgrace? You are a disgrace!â
Tang Ran stood up angrily and shoved Shen Yanli who couldnât stop insulting the Su Family.
Shen Yanli, on the other hand, had never been treated in such a way by anyone.
As her temper rose, she lifted her hands to slap Tang Ran.
Halfway through his sentence, Chen Hao rushed over and shielded in front of Tang Ran. He grabbed Shen Yanliâs wrist and wrench it aside.
âHow dare you hit me?â
With that, Shen Yanliâs eyes almost popped out from her sockets.
What has gotten him so brave? Who do you think you are, Chen Hao?
Youâre just a lowly, poor bastard! Youâre only impersonating Young Master Chen. Do you really think youâre him?
If Iâm bitten by a tiger, I will feel honoured.
But now Iâm being insulted by a pig! Itâs so embarrassing and upsetting!
Everyone around them were stunned as they couldnât believe a guy from the countryside dared to treat Shen Yanli this way.
âI have yet to hit you,â Chen Hao told Shen Yanli impassively. âIâm only protecting Tang Ran. âApart from that, donât you think you went overboard, Shen Yanli? Youâve burned all your bridges behind you.
With me here today, I will not let you touch anyone from the Su Family. If you continue to insult them, I donât mind hitting you!â
âHa-ha-ha! Chen Hao, continue your pretense! How dare you hit me? This is so absurd! Show me how you hit me!â
Slap!
After she had just finished her sentence, he directly slapped her without hesitation.
This slap had made everyone stunned.
Do you know who her father actually is? they thought.
âGood, very good! You really dare to hit me! A poor beggar like you dare to hit me? Youâre done! Your life is doomed!â
Shen Yanli lost all control and went berserk.
âSecurity! Security! Hit him harshly! If anything happens, my uncle will back me up!â Shen Yanli screamed.
At once, a group of security surrounded Chen Hao, holding batons in their hands.
Shen Yanli, however, grabbed her cheeks and glowered fiercely at Chen Hao, looking as if she would not be appeased unless Chen Haoâs legs were hit until they were broken.
