Free Web NovelChapter 298: Chapter 298: Superb Acting
Wang Hao returned to the Wen Family’s home and, as soon as he stepped through the front door, he saw mounds of large and small packages accumulated like a mountain in the living room.
Qi Shihan and Wen Xiaowei were both seated on the sofa, continuously massaging their arms, while several servants nearby were also twisting their necks and stretching their waists, evidently exhausted.
"Oh my, did you move the entire mall back here?"
Wang Hao asked in astonishment upon seeing this scene.
"You finally show your face, and you still have the nerve to ask us!"
Wen Xiaowei said, her beautiful eyes glaring. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"I had to ask Shi Han to find out that you’ve always been so harsh on her, not buying her anything. Now she comes to stay at our house and doesn’t have anything. Don’t you know the principle that girls need to be pampered?"
"Do you want her to be swayed by small favors when she enters school and be taken away? That would be a huge loss!"
"This..."
Wang Hao was at a loss for words because he had already given his supplementary card to Qi Shihan, which contained a fortune of over a hundred million. She could spend it as she pleased—when had he ever been harsh on Qi Shihan?
But before he could speak, he saw Qi Shihan hugging Wen Xiaowei’s arm and pouting with a look of aggrievement.
"What do you mean ’this’? Do you wanna see Shi Han being taken away because she’s such a beauty? Look at what you’ve done, turning her into such a pitiful sight. Go on, apologize!"
Wen Xiaowei demanded justice for Qi Shihan with an authoritative air.
"But...the truth isn’t like what you’ve described. What do you say, Shi Han?"
Wang Hao gave Qi Shihan a sidelong glance.
"Big sister Xiaowei, look, look, he’s being mean to me again!"
Qi Shihan quickly sought refuge behind Wen Xiaowei, putting on a woeful expression.
"How dare you scold her in front of me? What? You look like you want to hit someone. Well, hit me then!"
Wen Xiaowei stood up, threw back her head, puffed out her chest, and approached Wang Hao with a fearless stance.
But speaking of this girl’s figure, there really was nothing to criticize: full in the right places and slender in others. Aside from Zhou Yingying, there probably was no one who could compete with her figure.
Wang Hao’s gaze unwittingly lingered a bit longer. At that moment, a faint scent of roses wafted from her, a fragrance unique to young girls.
With a sweet face, dressed in a black skirt paired with a red jacket, Wen Xiaowei looked lively and attractive.
Moreover, she was smart and boldly dressed; her figure and appearance combined with such attire made her stand out in Zao City.
Wang Hao was unintentionally mesmerized.
At this point, Wen Xiaowei also noticed Wang Hao’s intense gaze and her cheeks blushed unconsciously. She quickly sat back down on the sofa.
However, she still didn’t let up on Wang Hao, continuing to berate him.
"From now on, I’ll take care of Shi Han’s daily necessities. You just need to ensure her safety, so you have to stay and protect Shi Han."
All of a sudden, Wang Hao had an epiphany.
It turned out these two girls had made such a fuss just to keep Wang Hao in Zao City. That explained everything that had happened before.
As the young lady of the Wen Family, if Wen Xiaowei directly asked Wang Hao to stay, wouldn’t it compromise her ladylike dignity?
Since Qi Shihan also wanted Wang Hao to stay, the two of them conspired to put on this act of sacrifice.
But Wang Hao really had concerns about their acting skills. Compared to him, they were far from comparable.
"Ah—"
All of a sudden, Wang Hao clutched his chest, displaying an extremely pained expression, and his face instantly turned ashen.
He suddenly collapsed at the feet of the two girls. There shouldn’t have been an issue, but Wang Hao glanced up at the two girls.
Both were wearing skirts, and from Wang Hao’s angle, he had a clear view of everything underneath.
Wang Hao felt his blood surge, and his complexion reddened again.
Seeing Wang Hao’s face turn from white to red, the two girls were frightened, their faces drained of color. They rushed over and embraced Wang Hao.
"Big brother Hao, what’s wrong with you?"
Qi Shihan asked anxiously.
"Shi Han, I’ve always kept a secret from you. The truth is, my soul was pledged to the Mountain God behind the hill long ago. That’s why I can’t leave Chen Village for too long, or else I’ll die abruptly."
"You’d better have someone send me back to Chen Village quickly, otherwise, you won’t have a brother anymore."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Wang Hao’s head tilted to one side, as if he had fainted.
Upon seeing the scene, Qi Shihan suddenly burst into tears, crying out "Waah!" and she, along with Wen Xiaowei, hurried to call for help, both girls looking utterly panicked.
"What’s the matter with you two? Why are you so flustered?"
Wen Yonglin had just arrived back in time to see the girls in their flustered state and quickly came over to find out what was happening.
"Brother Hao is in bad shape, you must send someone to take him back to Chen Village quickly, or else he’s going to die here. Hurry!"
Qi Shihan said through her tears.
Wen Yonglin was completely baffled. What? Wang Hao is in bad shape? Then why not send him to the hospital? Why insist on taking him back to that remote Chen Village?
The master became curious and quickly walked into the living room to see for himself, pausing in surprise.
Who said Wang Hao was in bad shape? Isn’t he sitting comfortably on the sofa?
"What’s all this commotion in the middle of the night?"
Seeing Wang Hao still gesturing to him, Wen Yonglin gave Wen Xiaowei an annoyed look.
"It’s not that I’m fooling around, it’s clearly him..."
Wen Xiaowei became anxious, but when she turned around, she saw Wang Hao sitting on the couch, legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, and even giving her a "Yeah" sign, looking perfectly fine.
The faces of Wen Xiaowei and Qi Shihan darkened instantly.
Wang Hao was just too wicked, actually daring to trick them.
It would have been enough to just deceive them, but he even acted it out so convincingly that it scared them badly. Not using his acting skills in the industry was truly a waste.
At the same time, the two girls realized that Wang Hao had seen through their schemes from the very beginning. With a cold huff, they turned and went back to their rooms.
"What’s gotten into them?"
Wen Yonglin, who had come into the living room, saw the two girls apparently upset and head upstairs without looking back, and he asked in confusion.
"It’s nothing, they were just playing a prank on me, and I caught on to their little tricks, so I played along and gave them a bit of a scare."
Wang Hao laughed with a hint of malice.
"Haha! You young people really know how to have fun!"
Wen Yonglin gave a bitter smile.
"Being young is great. At my age, not only can I not play along, but I also don’t have the mood for it anymore!"
Wang Hao, hearing Wen Yonglin sound like something was on his mind, couldn’t help asking.
"Is something wrong? Do you need my help?"
Wen Yonglin sighed.
"Ever since this brat went off to who knows where, it’s this late and he still hasn’t returned!"
Wen Yonglin revealed a worried expression.
"Zi Cong is now an adult, too, and having his own private social life is normal. It’s fine if he sometimes comes back late; you shouldn’t worry too much."
"Besides, we’re in Zao City. Who would dare to mess with the Wen Family’s young master? I reckon anyone would have to be tired of living!"
Wang Hao reassured him.
"If only someone would teach him a lesson now; I’d more than welcome it. He’s already a big kid and it’s time for him to calm down. I’m not worried about anything else, just afraid that he’s causing trouble for others."
"Waving the Wen Family’s flag around and stirring up trouble would eventually harm the family’s reputation!"
Wen Yonglin spoke with a sense of frustration, like he was disappointed.
"Wang Hao, can you tell me why is it that I, Wen Yonglin, who was born poor and didn’t get much education when I was young, provided such great educational opportunities for these kids and yet they still don’t listen?"
"Even back then, Xiang Yong was a hundred times more obedient than Zi Cong is now!"
He became even more emotional as he spoke.
"You know, you should just stop worrying unnecessarily. You’re probably stricter with your own child, but with your grandchild, they’re a generation apart and you adore them so much, you can’t even bear to discipline them."
Wang Hao said with a laugh.
"It’s all very normal. Just think about it, when my grandfather was around, if my father disciplined me, my grandfather would scold my father!"
Wen Yonglin couldn’t help but laugh at Wang Hao’s words; it seemed to be true indeed.
Perhaps he had just been spoiling Zi Cong too much.
Later, Da Wu came back and informed Wen Yonglin that Zi Cong had already checked into the Peninsula International Hotel for the night, which finally put his mind at ease.
