I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 418 An awkward encounter

"Ping An County? That's him!"

A few people laughed.

"Damn, I didn't know that Chen Hao was related to you guys! Is it true?" Meng Can looked surprised.

"Of course, but he's never recognized as one of the Yang family!" Yang Ye laughed dryly.

Qin Ya didn't care about Meng Can's description of Chen Hao's past.

"Yang Ye, is Chen Hao coming later?" she asked expectantly.

Yang Ye nodded. "I think they said that Yang Xiaobei is coming together with him. Look, there they are!"

The door of the room was ajar, so they could see the corridor outside.

They saw Yang Xiaobei walking toward them.

Qin Ya looked nervous, but Yang Xiaobei seemed to be alone.

"Yang Xiaobei, where is Chen Hao? Did he not come?" a girl from the Yang Family asked.

As Yang Xiaobei was the most unfavored in the family, everyone didn't really respect her all this while.

"Chen Hao went to the washroom. He will be here soon!" Yang Xiaobei said.

In fact, Yang Xiaobei didn't like to participate in gatherings like this. She knew the difference between her cousins and her was just too big. They were from entirely different universes.

However, she could not shy away from such events either.

"Ha, this is funny! I bet this is his first time in such a high class bar. Someone is nervous!" A girl covered her mouth and giggled. Everyone started laughing.

At this time, a young man dressed in a casual attire opened the door and walked in.

The young man was tall, fair and lean. The atmosphere of the room froze once he stepped inside, with one hand in his pocket.

A few girls stared at him in awe, because this young man was good looking and extremely elegant. He was particularly attractive.

"Chen Hao, come take a seat here!" Yang Xiaobei smiled sweetly and grabbed Chen Hao's elbow.

"H-He is the cousin from the countryside?" A few girls gasped in surprise.

Everyone thought that Chen Hao was poor and inferior since he came from the countryside. They thought he would look like a man who had failed in life.

They were also expecting him to be prim and awkward in a situation like this.

On the contrary, he exuded maturity.

Everyone looked at him in a different light after seeing his gait and posture.

Smack!

Just then, as Chen Hao was preparing to greet his cousins, he was suddenly hit at the back of his head.

"Damn, it really is you! Chen Hao, stop your act! I bet you never expected to see me here!" It was Meng Can. She ran over to Chen Hao after recognizing him. Her way of greeting was very different from others though.

"OMG! You are here!" Chen Hao was shocked seeing a familiar face here.

But he couldn't recall who she was.

"Do you still remember me?" Meng Can put her arms around his shoulder and asked him amusedly.

"Of course!" he lied. She did look familiar, and he was sure that they were in the same class in high school, but he could not remember her name.

"It's been so long! I never thought of seeing you here. You still put one hand in your pocket. Oh, just cut the act and take your hand out of your pocket already! Others might not know your background, but I do!" she said.

Chen Hao shook his head wryly and took his hand out of his pocket. He then recalled that her name was Meng Can; they were classmates for around six months.

Everyone shook their heads and laughed at this scene. Who did he think he was, feigning an air of superiority! After all, everyone knew he came from a poor background.

"Meng Can, we've lost touch after you switched schools. I didn't know that you know my cousins!" Chen Hao tried to make small talk.

"That's enough, stop the formalities. You make it sound like I want to keep in touch with you. Go take a seat!" Meng Chan said disgustedly. "Um..."

Chen Hao smiled awkwardly.

"Chen Hao!"

Just when he was about to sit, another voice rang.

Chen Hao raised his head and was surprised to replace the person in front of him.

"Qin Ya? W-Why are you here?"

What the h*ll? Chen Hao did not expect to meet any of his ex-classmates here, let alone Qin Ya.

He had not been keeping in touch with her for a long time since that incident.

He felt awkward that Qin Ya had been actively messaging him, but he had not replied to any of them.

He thought they would never meet again. But sometimes such coincidences did happen.

"It really is you! Why didn't you reply to my messages?" Qin Ya asked, tears starting to well up in her eyes.

She had told herself repeatedly to forget about him. It was impossible for them to be together.

But memories flooded her as soon as she closed her eyes.

It started with her getting injured by a twisted ankle. Chen Hao piggybacked her to the infirmary in the rain.

After that, Chen Hao always came to her help whenever she was in trouble.

Qin Ya knew, since then, this guy was seared deep in her heart permanently. No matter how hard she tried to forget him, it was futile.

When she saw Chen Hao, she was filled with chagrin.

"I am sorry, Qin Ya!" Chen Hao's head drooped embarrassedly.

Qin Ya was one of the girls whom he let down.

But there was no other way.

Everyone was stunned by the scene unfolding in front of them, especially Meng Can and Yang Ye.

It was obvious that Qin Ya and Chen Hao were more than acquaintances. From the way she looked at him, their relationship was definitely not platonic.

Jealousy surged through Yang Ye uncontrollably.

He thought he stood a chance with Qin Ya.

"Qin Ya, what's going on here? You guys know each other?" Meng Chan asked.

Qin Ya wiped her tears, shot a sorrowful glance at Chen Hao, and sat down.

Chen Hao also took his seat.

"Since you guys know each other, just make yourself at home, Chen Hao! Come, take one of these." Yang Ye smiled and offered him a cigarette. "Thanks, but take mine instead!"

Chen Hao was not a smoker, but he always carried a packet of cigarettes whenever he went to gatherings.

He placed his cigarette on the table.

"What the f*ck? X-ONE?"

Looking at the cigarette, everyone was shocked.

Some of his cousins looked at him incredulously and asked, "What the h*ll? You smoke this thing?"

Yang Ye's face immediately hardened.

"What is this? It looks weird. I have never seen anything like this!" a girl asked curiously.

"Well, I have never seen these cigarettes either! They are used by billionaires overseas! Not only does it bring no harm, it helps to moisten the lungs too! A new product that is released this year and it's not for sale. It's specially supplied to certain VIPS only!" a guy said in awe, taking the pack of cigarettes in the meantime.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
