Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Intentionally Picking a Quarrel
"This..."
Da Wu didn’t know how to answer and stammered without spitting out a word for a long time.
"It’s alright, just say what you know. We don’t care about family background, after all, we Wen Family have plenty of money, but character is crucial, he must respect his parents and be ambitious. By the way, are his parents still alive?"
As one of the three great families in Zao City, Wen Yonglin had different criteria for choosing a son-in-law than most, given Wen Xiaowei was the Wen Family’s eldest granddaughter.
"I’m really not sure about that, but I am certain that you will be very satisfied with this person!"
Da Wu said, his tone full of mystery.
"Who?"
Fueled by Da Wu’s words, Wen Yonglin grew even more eager to know who this person was and continued to inquire about his information.
But just by coincidence, Wen Yonglin’s phone rang at that moment.
"Hello, Wang Hao, is there something you need calling me at this time?"
Wen Yonglin answered Wang Hao’s call with a jovial tone.
"Uncle Wen, I just arrived in Zao City and would like to stay at your Peninsula International Hotel for a couple of days. Could you arrange two rooms for me?"
Wang Hao wasn’t short on money; he simply felt it was somewhat inappropriate to stay at the Wen Family’s hotel without giving Wen Yonglin a heads-up.
"You’re in Zao City?"
Wen Yonglin sounded surprised before continuing.
"Great, great, no problem at all, I’ll have Wen Xiangyong personally arrange a suite for you. Rest up today, I’ll come to see you tomorrow!"
Wen Yonglin happily hung up the phone.
"Grandpa, is it Wang Hao who has come to Zao City?"
"What? Wang Hao is going to stay at our Peninsula International Hotel for two nights? Then who will handle the hospitality? Now that he’s called, wouldn’t it be improper if we don’t go and meet him?"
Right after Wen Yonglin hung up the phone, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, as if struck by sudden madness, started shouting loudly toward the small garden inside the courtyard.
Their voices were so loud that the entire courtyard could hear clearly, startling both Wen Yonglin and Wen Yong.
"Are you two rascals out of your minds? Why are you making such a racket all of a sudden? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Wen Yonglin was puzzled; usually, these two young men were very sensible and stable, so why had they become so impolite all of a sudden?
But before he could finish his thought, Wen Xiaowei appeared before the two of them.
"Ah!"
The sudden appearance of Wen Xiaowei startled both men, and Wen Yonglin too, who after being frightened twice in a row, quickly asked.
"Are you trying to scare your grandfather to death too? Where did you spring out from?"
"Hehe!"
Wen Xiaowei poured a cup of tea for both Wen Yonglin and Wen Xiangyong as she sweetly said,
"Let me handle arranging the hotel rooms for Wang Hao. I promise to make him satisfied!"
The Wen father and son were stunned upon hearing this.
Wen Yonglin, being a seasoned hand, and recalling the odd behavior of Da Wu and Xiao Wu, couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
So, the reason for Da Wu and Xiao Wu’s uncharacteristic outburst was to relay the news of Wang Hao’s arrival in Zao City to Wen Xiaowei.
That meant the man who had caused such a change in Wen Xiaowei was none other than...
Wen Xiaowei was also Wen Xiangyong’s daughter, and as the saying goes, ’no one knows a daughter better than her father.’ He too had noticed the subtleties and exchanged a knowing smile with Wen Yonglin. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"Alright then, let Xiaowei handle it!"
Wen Xiangyong, who had been about to set off, sat down again and began leisurely sipping his tea.
"Go on then!"
Wen Yonglin also let out a haughty laugh.
Seeing the ill intentions in their smiles, Wen Xiaowei’s face suddenly turned bright red, and she turned her head to glare fiercely at Big Wu and Little Wu, convinced it must have been the two of them who’d let the secret slip.
So Wen Xiaowei turned and ran off, to avoid being ridiculed any further by staying there.
By the time Wen Xiaowei left the door, it was already dark outside.
The Peninsula International Hotel generally required reservations, so guests usually checked in orderly, but today, for some reason, the lobby was crowded with many waiting to check in.
But these past two days, the city had seen an influx of people coming both to participate in and watch the boxing matches, and for their own safety, none of them had opted to stay at the hotel arranged by Wild Bear.
They had all flocked to the most luxurious hotel in Zao City instead, so the lobby of the Peninsula International Hotel was suddenly swarming with people, and the front desk staff were too busy to catch a breath.
"So you’re Wang Hao?"
Suddenly, someone approached Wang Hao, looking him up and down with a disdainful expression in their eyes.
At that moment, Wang Hao was sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the Peninsula International Hotel, and he looked up at the man who had spoken to him.
The man was incredibly sturdy and, judging by his physique, probably a professional boxer; hence, his approach could only mean one thing - he was here to provoke a fight.
Wang Hao really wasn’t in the mood to argue with him here.
"I suggest you wise up and drop out early. That ten million is as good as mine!" the boxer said coldly.
"Ten million? Isn’t it twenty million?" Wang Hao retorted offhandedly.
"Twenty million? Stop dreaming, that’s Billy’s. No one else stands a chance to win it. We’re all sensible enough to be content with second place!" the boxer derisively told Wang Hao, then pointed at Wang Hao’s nose as he added.
"Don’t kid yourself. If you want to live, you better drop out fast!"
Wang Hao’s face slowly darkened with anger. Shouting was one thing, but pointing at someone’s nose was crossing the line.
To a hot-blooded young man, that was an insult!
The boxer’s gesture immediately caught the attention of the others around, especially those boxers who had seen Wang Hao at the ring earlier.
Their gazes shifted between Wang Hao and the challenging boxer.
If Wang Hao were to tolerate this, it would mean he was nothing but a coward, not worth mentioning in any match.
But looking closely at Wang Hao’s physique compared to the boxer’s, if it really came to blows, he would undoubtedly be defeated in a single move. So, any resistance seemed futile.
"Please remove your hand; otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite!" Wang Hao said in a lowered voice.
"What? You, a rookie, think you can fight me?" the boxer suddenly burst into laughter. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Let me tell you, I’m the Hammer, are you sure you can even touch me?" he claimed.
The room fell silent at his words, and all the boxers turned to look at Hammer with a mix of dread and suspicion in their eyes.
"Is he the Hammer; the boxer who killed five men in the underground ring?" someone whispered.
"He seems to be one of Wild Bear’s men, what’s he doing here?"
"I heard that only one of his opponents was killed in the ring, the others were all beaten to death in private!" the others started murmuring amongst themselves, instinctively stepping back to maintain distance from both Wang Hao and the Hammer.
They were worried that if a fight broke out between the two, the Hammer might just take them down too!
It finally became clear to Wang Hao: this Hammer wasn’t here for the hotel, he came specifically to challenge him...
