After the universally disliked young master is reborn, the older sisters panic.

As Chen Hao and Nan Yan were walking towards the banquet entrance, Su Jiayue suddenly rushed out.

She blocked their way. "Nan Yan, are you going back?"

Nan Yan frowned slightly and nodded. "Yes, we don't know many people here. We're going to head back now."

She couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't been in much contact with Su Jiayue since moving out of the dormitory and living with Chen Hao.

I didn't know she was being so enthusiastic today?

Is he still harboring treacherous intentions? Is he still eyeing Chen Hao?

Thinking of this, she turned her head and secretly glared at Chen Hao.

It's impossible to guard against someone who's flirting with other women!

Chen Hao touched his nose inexplicably, wondering why he was being glared at when he hadn't done anything.

The two women were chatting, and Chen Hao, not wanting to interrupt, walked to the side and chatted with Gu Xingzhou.

Su Jiayue pulled Nan Yan towards a group of women. "Nan Yan, let me introduce you to my good sisters. They are very easy to get along with."

They were so enthusiastic that Nan Yan wanted to refuse, but it was too late.

She tugged at her hand and shook her head helplessly. "Wait a minute, I'll tell Chen Hao."

"Sigh, what's there to say? He can see it." Su Jiayue held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Having finally managed to separate them, she couldn't possibly let the two of them stay together.

Gu Xingzhou, who was some distance away, nudged Chen Hao beside him and looked at Nan Yan and Chen Hao's backs with a puzzled expression. "Brother Hao, when did they become so close?"

Isn't it just that rivals in love are bound to be extremely hostile when they meet?

How come the two of them are so close, like sisters?

Chen Hao glanced up at Gu Xingzhou. "They were roommates before, so it's normal for them to be close, isn't it?"

Even if he has doubts, he won't say them out loud.

Gu Xingzhou nodded knowingly, "That's right. Let's go over there. They definitely won't be done anytime soon."

Chen Hao glanced at Nan Yan and saw a group of girls chatting and laughing, so he followed Gu Xingzhou with peace of mind.

The two arrived at a corner where there was a sofa for guests to rest.

Gu Xingzhou sat down, lying on the sofa as if he had no bones, and patted the spot next to him. "Brother Hao, let's sit for a while. They're going to talk for a long time."

Chen Hao sat down next to him and, looking at the bored Gu Xingzhou, suggested softly, "Xingzhou, go play with your friends, you don't need to keep me company."

Even though Gu Xingzhou didn't say it, he knew that he was there specifically to keep him company.

He's lucky to have such a good brother in this life.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingzhou waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, they're just bragging, I don't like it."

Perhaps because he hadn't been in touch with his friends for a long time, there were conflicts of opinion between him and his friends.

He felt alienated by his friends' lack of ambition and their expectation to inherit the family business.

Seeing that he really didn't want to go, Chen Hao didn't force him, and he chatted casually with Gu Xingzhou.

Chen Hao took the two glasses of red wine from Gu Xingzhou and took a sip. He didn't know where Gu Xingzhou got them from.

"Brother Hao, why do you think they have so much to say?" Gu Xingzhou asked curiously, looking at the group of women.

He knew that girls would have endless things to talk about when they met, but he didn't expect them to have so much to say.

Chen Hao's lips curled into a smile as he turned to look at Nan Yan.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and the smile on his lips slowly vanished. "Where's Nan Yan?"

“It’s right there…” Gu Xingzhou’s voice trailed off. “Huh? Wasn’t it just there a moment ago?”

Su Jiayue isn't here either. Did they go to the restroom together?

Chen Hao stood up with a stern face. "I'll go find them."

He felt a sense of unease; Nan Yan wouldn't leave without a word, something must have happened.

Seeing Chen Hao's panic, Gu Xingzhou comforted him, "Brother Hao, there are people coming and going here, they'll be fine, don't worry."

The people here are wealthy, and the security measures are top-notch; no one dares to cause trouble here.

He didn't think anything bad would happen.

"I'm worried."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao walked out.

Just then, a waiter came over and handed Chen Hao a note. "Sir, this is from a lady who asked me to give this to you."

"A lady?" Gu Xingzhou pressed, "Is she a very beautiful lady?"

The waiter frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "She is very beautiful, and the lady next to her is also very beautiful."

Hearing this, Gu Xingzhou turned to Chen Hao with a smug look and said, "I knew they were together. They must have gone to the bathroom."

Chen Hao didn't reply. He looked down at the note in his hand. "Su Jiayue and I went to the bathroom. We'll be right back."

It's Nan Yan's handwriting, but Nan Yan has a cell phone, so why not send him a message?

He looked up at the waitress and asked, "Where did you run into them?"

"In the corridor leading to the restroom."

The waiter replied and then walked away with the tray.

Gu Xingzhou patted Chen Hao on the shoulder, "Brother Hao, what are you thinking about?"

"Please sit down, we'll wait for them here."

Chen Hao looked around and found that Chen Qian was nowhere to be seen at the entire banquet.

His brows were tightly furrowed, which was very unusual.

Given Chen Qian's personality, he would never let anyone off the hook; he would try his best to befriend that group of people.

But where are the others now?

"Xingzhou, don't you find it strange? Where is Chen Qian?" Chen Hao asked in a low voice.

Without a second thought, Gu Xingzhou replied, "He must have gone to flatter Song Yuanxun."

He looked around for Chen Qian.

A moment later, he asked in confusion, "Hey? Where's Chen Qian? And what about Song Yuanxun?"

Hearing this, Chen Hao felt even more uneasy. "I'll go find them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked outside.

However, after only a few steps, he began to stagger, felt dizzy, and had a fever.

Chen Hao reached out and loosened his tie, then quickened his pace and walked outside.

He unfortunately contracted the virus.

How abominable!

He prayed silently that nothing would happen to Nan Yan.

"Brother Hao, wait for me!" Gu Xingzhou called out as Chen Hao chased after him.

They were only halfway there when Liu Ziyang blocked their way. "Xingzhou, you haven't had a proper time to play with us since you came back this time."

Now that we've met today, we must have a good talk.

In that short time, Gu Xingzhou didn't even see a shadow of Chen Hao.

He turned his head to look at Liu Ziyang in front of him and asked in an annoyed tone, "Liu Ziyang, what's there for us to talk about?"

If you don't see eye to eye, sitting together will only result in awkward small talk.

Liu Ziyang choked.

He said awkwardly, "We grew up together, and it's been several years since we last saw each other. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Gu Xingzhou shook his head without any politeness. "No. I have something to do. See you next time."

He passed Liu Ziyang and then chased after Chen Hao in the direction he had left.

Seeing Chen Hao's anxious look, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

He had no time to catch up with his old friends; he had to go find the person first.
