Female Novel
Chapter 433 To Miss a Date
“Grandma, your health has not been good lately. So, I bought you some tonics.” Chen Hao walked in
and put the present that he had brought with him aside.
“Oh! That would be so troublesome for you. You are so sweet,” Madame Yang said with a serious face.
Chen Hao had come empty-handed to her birthday celebration this morning after all.
Actually, although there was no more relationship between her and Yuping, blood was still thicker than
water. Especially since Chen Hao and Chen Xiao were her own grandchildren, Madame Yang wanted
to get closer to Chen Hao as his grandmother. But when she saw Chen Hao’s poor image, Madame
Yang thought of the boy from the village, Chen Jindong, who was Chen Hao’s father. The pair of father
and son were too alike, including their personalities. They were the type to never fight or argue back,
which was the typical behavior of people from the rural areas.
“Chen Hao, how has your mother been these few years?” Madame Yang suddenly said after being
silent for a while.
“She has been doing very well. Actually, my mum has always missed you, grandma,” Chen Hao said,
sitting next to his grandmother.
“Huh? She’s doing well? She’s with someone like your dad, and yet she is well? Actually, I know why
you are here. The Yang Family’s business isn't usually passed down to the external family branches, so
don’t think too much about that. It has been more than twenty years and I’ve not heard anything from
this girl at all. She might think that her mother is already dead,” Madame Yang said angrily.
Chen Hao smiled and said, “Please don’t say that. Actually, I didn’t come today for the Yang Family’s
inheritance, but because I want to lessen the grievance between you and my mom.”
“To lessen the grievance between us? I don’t have much time left to live, so what is there left to
improve? Furthermore, this girl eloped and caused the Li Family to violently oppose the Yang Family.
That caused the Yang Family to go from being the leading family of the four most powerful families to
the least of them. She caused us to be almost destroyed. That time, the Yang Family was vitally hurt,”
Madame Yang said angrily.
“But wasn’t the Li Family very quickly eliminated?” Chen Hao suddenly raised his head and asked.
Madame Yang was stunned. From Chen Hao’s eyes, she suddenly saw something different that she
had never seen before.
“Grandma, today, I have only one thing to say. You cannot completely blame my mom for what
happened that year. Are you saying that you don’t claim the slightest bit of responsibility? Furthermore,
the world changes so fast that we cannot predict the future. Initially, you thought of Chen Jindong as a
poor village boy, but it has been more than twenty years since. Is that still what he is to you?” Chen
Hao asked. “Grandma, take a rest first. In a few days time, I’ll come and visit you again.” As soon as he
finished speaking, Chen Hao got up and left.
As for Madame Yang, what happened just now was out of her expectations. This was the first time she
spoke to Chen Hao properly. Only then did she realize that Chen Hao was not as submissive and weak
as he appeared to be. On top of that, what was he hinting at her with his words?
The family butler sent Chen Hao off before taking the present that he had brought with him. According
to convention, whenever somebody sends a gift, no matter what the gift was or who sent it, the family
butler would carefully record it. But as soon as the butler opened the gift, he was momentarily stunned.
“This…” His eyes widened. Holding the gift in both hands, he knocked on Madame Yang’s room door.
“Madame Yang, please look at this present from Young Master Chen Hao,” the butler said emotionally.
“What is this?” Madame Yang took a look and asked doubtfully.
“If I am not wrong, this seems to be the Tianshan snow lotus that Yan Jing City’s President Tang
previously bought off an auction. If paired with the thousand-years-old ginseng that was given by Young
Master Chen today, any sickness can be cured and you will live a long life!”
“What? The Tianshan snow lotus?” Madame Yang widened her eyes and said with a shiver. “How did
Chen Hao get such a precious and expensive thing?” Madame Yang was surprised.
The butler, Ashen, bowed his head and thought carefully for a while. Then, he said, “Madame, there’s
something that I’m not sure if I should say or not.”
“Say it.”
“I noticed that Young Master Chen Hao is not a normal person. There is an aura of nobility emitting
from him. Besides, when Young Master Chen Hao was speaking just now, he gave one the impression
of being extraordinary. The point is, have you ever wondered if the mysterious Young Master Chen
from the Chen Family…”
At this point, Madame Yang was even more surprised. “Are you saying that Young Master Chen from
the Chen Family is Chen Hao?”
The butler pointed at the Tianshan snow lotus that Chen Hao brought.
Madame Yang’s heartbeat quickened. “How is that possible? You have seen Chen Jindong’s behavior
back then. How could it be him?” Madame Yang said, full of disbelief.
“This is what I wanted to say, Madame. These few years, the Yang Family has been through a lot and
the business has been going downhill. In fact, the problem originates from the divisions within the
family. Especially after you divided the power, the internal battles have become worse. Furthermore, it’s
not the first time that Master Yang Yuting has gotten the family into major trouble. However, the Yang
Family business has not crashed. From a few years ago, I’ve been wondering if somebody has been
secretly helping the Yang Family. Everytime, we were able to avert trouble and we have not faced any
big problems. Furthermore, a few years ago, Yang Family’s nemesis, the Li Family, went bankrupt
within the span of a night, despite being such a powerful family. Everybody in the Li Family has gone
missing. What happened that night is still a mystery!”
The butler had spoken a lot this time; before this, he didn’t say much in fear of making Madame Yang
angry. But now...
Madame Yang frowned. She thought of the recent birthday feast when Young Master Chen of the Chen
Family sent gifts worth one billion. She exhaled and her expression suddenly darkened without saying
anything else.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
“Xiaobei, how do you plan to celebrate your birthday tomorrow?” Chen Hao asked as he looked at
Xiaobei.
“All these years, I haven’t really been celebrating my birthday,” Xiaobei answered.
“Alright, this year is different. I’ll celebrate your birthday with you!” Chen Hao said with a smile.
Xiaobei nodded; she was touched. However, there was a question that Xiaobei had wanted to ask
Chen Hao. She opened her mouth, but the question was stuck in her throat.
“What is it? Are you going to ask me how I know the people in Xinfeng Group?” Chen Hao said with a
smile.
Yang Xiaobei shook her head and said, “Chen Hao, I wanted to ask you this. Since you’ve graduated
for so long already, are you getting married soon? You are quite a catch, so why have I never seen you
on the phone with a potential partner? I think Qin Ya is especially pretty. On top of that, she’s such a
nice person.” Yang Xiaobei was very attentive and she noticed this.
Chen Hao laughed bitterly. “I don’t know how to talk to you about this. But, Xiaobei, I want to ask you,
do you hate people that miss appointments? For example, your boyfriend agreed to a date with you at
a certain time, but he doesn’t turn up. How would you feel?”
“Of course I’ll be disappointed and sad. Actually, no matter how arrogant and indifferent a girl might be,
she takes her dates very seriously. She will spend a lot of time preparing for a single date. So if the
date doesn’t show up, of course she’ll be very disappointed. What is it, cousin? Did you miss a date?”novelbin
