The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao) novel Chapter 74

“I didn’t bring any gifts!” Chen Hao smiled, embarrassed.

He wanted to buy one but Su Tongxin didn’t agree and said that they only needed one gift. Of course she would be the one to buy it! That was why Chen Hao came here empty-handed.

He knew that his presence at Grandma Su’s birthday feast was enough to make Grandma Su happy. Who would have thought that Su Ying would try to pick a fight!

“What? You didn’t bring presents? I thought Tongxin’s boyfriend would definitely bring an expensive gift!”

“Isn’t Tongxin’s boyfriend an upstart? He should have known better. It’s his first time coming to our family gathering but he didn’t bring anything?”

“Ah, he’s lackluster compared to Su Ying’s boyfriend Li Jiannan!”

A lot of relatives began to murmur.

Their voices were not soft and everyone could hear them.

So at the moment, Grandma Su felt a bit embarrassed.

She was not the kind of person who liked gifts but as an elderly, she valued other people’s respect toward her.

So, her attitude toward Chen Hao was less enthusiastic than that of Li Jiannan.

She just said that it was fine and told Chen Hao to sit aside.

She then asked noncommittally, “Chen Hao, I heard your family has a strong financial background. What kind of business does your family run?”

“Oh, we do all sorts of business!” Chen Hao said mildly.

Although Chen Hao was telling the truth, the answer was a bit disrespectful in the eyes of Grandma Su and the others.

What did 'all sorts of business' mean?

What was the business specifically?

He could not even answer a simple question properly.

Su Tongxin smiled and said hurriedly, “Grandma, it’s his first time here. Be careful not to scare him with all your questions!”

“Alright, I’ll stop asking!” Grandma Su let it go.

After all, Su Tongxin was her favorite.

“Hmph, is he scared because of the number of questions or because of those questions itself? Sister, do be clear, what business does Chen Hao’s family run? I think you know better than all of us!” Su Ying then said in a peculiar tone.

The one thing that she couldn’t stand most was that no matter what Su Tongxin said or did in front of Grandma Su, she was correct.

Grandma Su would always pamper her.

But if other grandchildren did something wrong, even if it was just a minor mistake, they would be scolded harshly by her.

She wasn’t planning to fall out with Su Tongxin but she couldn’t take it anymore.

Let’s see if you will still be able to keep your head up high after today!

Sure enough, her words attracted Grandma Su’s attention.

She thought of Wang Huimin’s attitude just now.

Grandma Su frowned. “Tongxin, are you hiding something from me? What business does Chen Hao’s family run?”

Su Tongxin stiffened.

At the same time, she looked at his brother Su Qi.

Whatever that was happening, Su Ying knew that her brother had a part in it.

Just as she thought, Su Qi didn’t dare to meet her eyes.

“Grandma, I didn’t…” Su Tongxin said nervously.

“Ha, you’re too embarrassed to say it right? Fine, I’ll help you say it. Grandma! Do you know who this Chen Hao is?”

“He used to be a famous poor kid in Jin Ling College. He earned his living by running errands… Yes, Chen Hao indeed had some money later on, but that's because he won the lottery. Guess what? Chen Hao... ”

It was unclear where Su Ying gathered the information, but she was quite practiced in delivering it.

She spilled all the embarrassing moments of Chen Hao as if she had seen it with her own eyes, including Chen Hao’s spending spree after winning the lottery. The worst thing was, she did it in front of everyone.

“What? I can’t believe Tongxin made this person her boyfriend!”
