The Poorest Rich Man (Chen Hao) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Brother Chen’s Speech Made Sense

Then again, he thought of the fact that the entire villa was owned by him and his sister. That gave Chen Hao a different sensation of excitement.

At this moment, Zhao Yifan and the rest of the girls came up.

Zhao Yifan had a ghastly expression.

After all, she had always treated Chen Hao as a poor loser and looked down on him.

Yet, now she felt as if she had to actually respect Chen Hao.

That made Zhao Yifan feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Chen Hao! How could you afford to come up here?”

As soon as she saw him, the first thing Zhao Yifan blurted out was the burning question in her mind. It was also the question that scared her the most.

She was afraid Chen Hao would tell her he was rich.

That would make Zhao Yifan even more uncomfortable.

“Exactly! Chen Hao, how could you afford this place? This place is very expensive!”

Lin Jiao’s tone became much more polite and even had a slight hint of shyness.

Zhuang Qiang and Li Hao also wanted to hear his explanation.

Chen Hao smiled and replied, “Oh, I just so happen to know the General Manager here. Thus, he invited me over here for a meal and I could bring my friends along!”

What?

Everyone looked confused.

Even if Chen Hao knew the General Manager, wasn’t this a bit too grand?

Zhao Yifan stared at Chen Hao.

Ma Xiaonan could not help but tell the truth.

She narrated how Chen Hao met with the General Manager and how they all came to the villa.

Zhao Yifan heaved a sigh of relief.

She asked, “Xiaonan, did you mean that Chen Hao saved the daughter of the General Manager? So the only reason he could purchase the famous and expensive Hèrmes bag as well as having this meal in the most luxurious area of the villa was all because of that?

Ma Xiaonan nodded her head. “Yes, Chen Hao got lucky. Good-heartedness often meets with recompense!”

Phew, that gave me a scare!

Zhao Yifan felt relieved.

Even Zhuang Qiang and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Chen Hao was enjoying better treatment currently compared to them, who were rich second generation heirs, all these were just to return him a favor. After today, Chen Hao would still remain a poor loser.

After everything was cleared up, Zhao Yifan and the group of girls felt better.

Despite that, Chen Hao could tell that Zhao Yifan was not appreciative. However, she did not seem to despise him as much as before.

In her eyes, her presence was already saving Chen Hao’s face.

Chen Hao merely smiled in response to all of that.

“Have a look at that! Is that an oil painting? It looks like an oil painting from a famous master abroad! Is that real?”

All of them ate and drank, relaxing and enjoying themselves.

Then, Lin Jiao’s gaze fixated on four paintings each of a different style on the four pillars within the loft.

One of them was an antique oil painting. It was painted by a famous painter, well known in the history of other foreign countries.

Lin Jiao recognized it at first glance.

“It should be real…” Chen Hao smiled.

Barely anything was fake in this villa.

After all, a lot of money was invested.

“What do you mean it should be real? It is real!”

Upon hearing what Chen Hao said, Zhuang Qiang scorned.

He used to study abroad.

It was his strength to examine certain famous foreign works.

What a poor dude this Chen Hao is. He had the ability to treat all of us yet he made me spend 80,000 to 90,000.

And it was all for nothing!

Zhuang Qiang had no choice but to regain his reputation from elsewhere!

He confidently said,

“The beginning auction price of this painting has reached 1 million overseas. It is extremely valuable! The other three paintings within the loft of the villa are all rather expensive as well. Why else do you think it's so expensive to dine in here?”

“Oh my god! Beginning price of at least 1 million?!”

The group of girls were amazed.

Lin Jiao was even more excited. “I have to take a picture with this photo! A photo with all these famous paintings that cost a few million!”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Chen Hao stood up and took down the precious painting. “If you all want to take a look, just take it down and have a look!”

“Hey, hey, hey! My god! Chen Hao, can you keep your hands to yourself? Damn! If you spoil the painting, who would be able to compensate for it?”

Zhuang Qiang stared angrily at Chen Hao.

Li Hao also sneered. “The manager only invited you for a meal. Do you think you are actually the host of this place?”

Zhao Yifan kept quiet but she was looking at Chen Hao.

She shook her head in disappointment.

Be it carrying himself or in terms of knowledge, Chen Hao was way behind compared to Zhuang Qiang.

No matter where he was, the vibe he transmitted was just unsightly! Far too unsightly!

Chen Hao’s intention of taking the painting down was to improve their relationship.

Instead, he was interpreted as being careless.

Oh well, whatever.

Chen Hao wanted to hang the oil painting back.

Who would have known that his hands would tremble and he did not manage to hang the painting securely. Coupled with that, a strong breeze blew in.

As such, the oil painting slipped out of his hands. It was blown out by the wind and fell straight into the waterfall below!

“Ah!”

The group of girls screamed upon seeing what transpired.

Even Zhao Yifan could not sit still and stood up in shock.

Oh god, this oil painting is screwed.

That’s 1 million down the drain!

Everyone subconsciously gulped.
