Chen Hao smiled faintly, "Then it's probably the same person who contacted us."

"Oh, really?" Su Jiayue asked curiously as she pushed open the door to the private room.

Hearing the sound of benches moving inside, Chen Qian's cheerful voice came through, "Miss Su, you're here, please sit here."

Su Jiayue looked at the woman sitting in the room and asked in confusion, "Who is she? Wasn't she supposed to be Chen..."

"Miss Su, this is my eldest sister. She would like to invite you to dinner," Chen Qian interrupted Su Jiayue before she could finish speaking.

He arranged the meeting with Su Jiayue under the guise of Chen Hao, so he couldn't let his older sister know about it.

Yesterday, upon learning that Chen Xian was meeting the Su family, he boasted that he could arrange a meeting with the Su family's darling daughter.

However, his older sister insisted that Chen Hao be present, so he had no choice but to schedule the appointments at different times.

When Chen Hao arrived, Su Jiayue had already left.

As for why Chen Hao was late, that's none of his business.

Upon hearing that she was Chen Qian's older sister, Su Jiayue's eyes lit up. She stepped forward and greeted her softly, "Hello, older sister."

Chen Qian's older sister is Chen Hao's older sister. Maintaining good relationships with Chen Hao's family can earn you points with Chen Hao.

Miss?

Chen Xian looked puzzled. She and Su Jiayue had only met for the first time and were not close enough for her to call her "big sister."

She smiled slightly and said, "Hello."

Then he turned to Chen Qian beside him and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Hao, why haven't you arrived yet?"

Chen Qian leaned close to her ear and whispered, "She's probably still busy with student council matters."

Chen Xian frowned slightly and instructed Chen Qian, "Serve the dishes. We can't keep Miss Su waiting here."

"Yes, eldest sister."

Chen Qian looked up at Su Jiayue, only to see her looking back at the front door, muttering softly, "Why hasn't Chen Hao come in yet?"

The voice was soft and no one could hear it clearly, but Chen Xian noticed the head-shaking and swaying motion. Curious, she asked, "Miss Su, what are you looking at?"

Su Jiayue turned to Chen Xian and said, "Didn't you also make an appointment with Chen Hao? He's outside."

"Outside?" Chen Xian stood up in surprise. "Why doesn't he come in?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she lifted her foot and walked outside.

Just then, the door to the private room opened from the outside, and Chen Hao walked in, holding Nan Yan's hand.

Upon seeing Chen Hao, Chen Xian stepped forward with a look of surprise and delight, "Xiao Hao, you're here."

He then turned to Nan Yan and nodded slightly, "Miss Nan."

"Big sister, I had fewer classes this afternoon, so I came early. I didn't expect you to be here even earlier," Chen Hao replied casually.

"Ahead of schedule?" Chen Xian frowned and muttered softly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qian panicked and quickly stepped forward, "Brother... Chen Hao, you're here. Please sit here, the food will be served soon."

Hearing Chen Qian address her by her full name, Chen Xian frowned even more. She gently scolded, "Xiao Qian, he's your brother. How can you address him by his full name?"

The Chen family was a prominent family that valued etiquette. She had been taught from a young age that she was not so impolite.

Upon hearing this, a hint of smugness flashed in Chen Qian's eyes. He raised his head and cautiously looked at Chen Hao before looking away, saying aggrievedly, "Brother... Chen Hao won't let me call him that. He said he'll hit me every time I do."

He was telling the truth; he wasn't talking nonsense.

Chen Xian looked at Chen Hao with surprise and asked softly, "Xiao Hao, is that so?"

“That’s right.” Chen Hao replied without hesitation, “He’s not my biological brother, I can’t accept him calling me brother.”

Looking at the two people who were like oil and water, Chen Xian pinched her brow in exasperation, regretting that she had put them together.

She smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Xiao Hao, you guys sit here."

Seeing this, Chen Qian looked at Chen Xian with a wronged expression, tears welling in his eyes, and softly called out, "Big sister~"

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Chen Xian sighed. She went to Chen Qian and whispered to comfort him, "Xiao Qian, you've been wronged. I'll make it up to you later."

Chen Qian knew when to stop and nodded sensibly, "Thank you, big sister."

The two kept whispering to each other, but Chen Hao didn't care at all. He pulled out a chair, smiled gently at Nan Yan, and said, "Yan'er, sit here."

Nan Yan sat down shyly, and Chen Hao followed suit and sat down next to her.

Seeing the two becoming even more intimate, Su Jiayue's eyes darkened. She interrupted their flirtatious banter, "Chen Hao, what are you two talking about?"
