I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 497 Family

"Yes. I would like to ask you to help me pass a message to Tian Long Group, and ask if our Takena family could possibly meet with Tian Long Group's Master Chen. This is my name card. I hope you can help me with this!" Takena Miko bowed slightly again.

Chen Hao took the name card and looked at it.

This Takena Miko seemed pretty quiet, just like an intelligent, well-learned young girl.

However, this was Japan's culture. This Takena Miko seemed to be pretty crafty as well.

Most importantly, Chen Hao had never heard of Takena Family's name before.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Hao nodded. "Alright, I will pass the message for you, Miss Takena Miko. Goodbye!"

Chen Hao nodded with a smile before leaving.

When Chen Hao walked out, he discovered that the old hag, Su Hong, was still waiting at the entrance.

The representatives of all eighteen forces had already arrived, and they had all been settled in. Who else could she be waiting for?

"Mom, everyone is already here. Should we head off too?" Yu Jinxiang said.

"What do you mean, everyone is here? There's no rush. Our mystery guest has yet to arrive. I must greet this guest personally!" Su Hong smiled, occasionally looking down the mountain. "What? There's someone else? I thought that the grandest mansion in this mountain villa was reserved for us. But it's probably for this mysterious guest, right?" Yu Jinxiang said again. "Of course it is! You're pretty smart after all!" Su Hong smiled happily.

"Mom, all of the guests that arrived today are already extremely prestigious. They are all rich and powerful families from around the world. How can there be someone stronger than all of them?" Yu Jinfei asked.

"Of course there is! There is always someone better out there. The power of this family is incomparable to many people who came today!"

She continued, "She is someone I met by chance when I was in M Country. She is graceful and gentle, and the ideal Eastern woman. She is younger than me by twenty or so years, and seems to be around your age, Jinfei. However, when it comes to charisma and poise, you two are worlds apart! If it wasn't for our vastly different positions, I would have asked her to be my godsister!"

"Is that so?" Yu Jinfei said, a little sourly.

"Don't be jealous! During our chance encounter, I brought up King Ginseng to her. She immediately showed interest, and wanted to come and buy it off me! She should be here in awhile!" Su Hong said. At the same time, she told her daughters more about this mysterious VIP.

In the end, she didn't know where this VIP came from, but one thing was for sure: this guest had a lot of money.

This was also why Su Hong had the guts to organize a large-scale event such as this one.

The mother-and-daughter trio continued to talk among themselves while Chen Hao stayed at the side, listening.

The more he listened, the more he felt that Su Hong was way too ambitious.

Just then, a fleet of expensive cars that no one had ever seen before stopped in front of the mountain.

A group of stern bodyguards formed a line on both sides. From the car, two girls got out.

The older one was maybe around twenty-five and was undeniably elegant.

The younger one was about twenty-one, maybe twenty-two.

The younger girl held onto the older girl's arm, and the two of them walked up the mountain.

"She's here!" Su Hong laughed as she jumped in excitement.

As for the Yu sisters, they also looked toward the newcomers.

Chen Hao stood up, also looking at them.

Su Hong's excitement was indescribable.

As for the Yu sisters, they were attracted by the older girl's graceful features from afar.

That was because she had a face that even girls were jealous of.

As for Chen Hao, when he saw who it was, his eyelid twitched intensely.

"Shen Lan? Yang Xiaobei?" Chen Hao nearly called out in shock.

That was right. These people were his own fiancée, Shen Lan, and his cousin, Yang Xiaobei.

These were people from the Chen family.

It had been almost half a year. Half a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

After he left the Chen family, he did not spend one waking moment without missing them dearly.

He had never imagined that he could meet the people he loved so soon.

Chen Hao was emotional.

But, very quickly, Chen Hao calmed down.

Chen Hao going missing gave his family a very big sigh of relief.

If he went up to meet them just like that, and if someone spread the news, all of his hard work up until now would have been for naught.

The business that he had built would be swept away by the Mo family in an instant.

No, he couldn't go up to them and reveal himself now!

Chen Hao glanced at Yang Xiaobei and Shen Lan.

Then, he turned around and walked away.

"Shen Lan, you are finally here!" Su Hong said excitedly.

"Thank you for waiting for us," Shen Lan replied, smiling.

Looking at them from up close, Yu Jinfei's expression immediately darkened.

Shen Lan was chatting with Su Hong.

Suddenly, Shen Lan's eyes shifted.

She caught a glimpse of a figure turning and entering a different room.

"Hm?"

Without knowing why, Shen Lan's heart skipped a beat when she saw this figure.

"What's wrong, Shen Lan?" Yang Xiaobei asked.

"N-Nothing!" Shen Lan shook her head quickly.

Shen Lan came to this auction because she had heard about the significance of the King Ginseng. She had also heard her father, Chen Jindong, talk about the King Ginseng before, and he mentioned that it was an extremely precious treasure. The Chen family had tried to catch wind of the King Ginseng before, but to no avail.

She had gone to take care of their assets and businesses in M Country with Yang Xiaobei. Once, she had accompanied Yang Xiaobei to her management class, and they had met Su Hong there by chance. After chatting, they found out that Su Hong happened to have the King Ginseng.

Shen Lan reported back to Chen Jindong immediately.

Without hesitation, he said to buy it, no matter the price.

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.

Apart from the grandest mansion in Long Quan Mountain Villa, the other places were rife with song and dance.

Endless chattering and people drinking could be heard, because their guests this time were from all kinds of trades.

"I can't believe Su Hong! Why would she still organize this auction? We have already given her an empty check and told her to fill in whatever number she wanted!"

In the mansion, Yang Xiaobei, who had just finished showering, came to Shen Lan's room.

Shen Lan was wearing light-coloured pyjamas and blow drying her hair.

When she heard Yang Xiaobei's complaints, she smiled. "Well... The more you do things like that, the more you will frighten people. Asking Mrs. Su to fill in whatever amount she wanted probably made her think that we had some other ulterior motive!" Shen Lan said.

"That's true!"

Shen Lan then looked outside the window and rested her chin on one hand, suddenly quiet.

The two of them didn't realize that currently, someone was eavesdropping outside their window.

"Why are you sighing again, Shen Lan? Are you troubled?" Yang Xiaobei asked.

"Today, when we were walking up the mountain, I saw a figure. This figure looked a lot like your older brother, s-so I..." Shen Lan's eyes glinted with tears.

"Is that why you suddenly thought of Chen Hao again?" Yang Xiaobei said sadly.

"It's been half a year. We haven't heard anything from Chen Hao, and we don't even know if he's dead or alive," Shen Lan said, struggling to choke out the words before covering her eyes and crying.

Yang Xiaobei started to cry as well. "Shen Lan, don't worry. Chen Hao is a smart person, and he knows how to take care of himself. He will be fine. He has to be fine! If he got caught, the Mo family would not be so quiet about it!"

Yang Xiaobei tugged at Shen Lan's arm, and the two of them hugged.

Outside their window, the figure that was eavesdropping clenched his fists tightly...
