Chen Qian glanced around, took her hand, and whispered, "I'll explain later. You should leave now."

"Didn't you say you were going to marry me? How come you're engaged to Nan Yan?" Shen Luxue asked persistently.

She had always considered herself Chen Qian's girlfriend, but she never expected to find out that Chen Qian was going to get engaged to Nan Yan. How could she accept that?

Chen Hao leaned back quietly, listening to the two arguing.

He frowned. The Chen family announced Chen Qian and Nan Yan's engagement so quickly?

"I told you, I'll explain later. Get out now," Chen Qian said impatiently.

"Didn't you say that Chen Hao would marry Nan Yan in your place? How come it's you now?" Shen Luxue pressed on persistently.

She will not leave until she receives an answer today.

As more and more people turned to look at them, Chen Qian stood up, took Shen Luxue's hand, leaned down and whispered a few words in her ear.

A short while later, Shen Luxue left with a smile on her face. As she passed Chen Hao, she glared at him hatefully.

This time, however, she didn't say much and left with a smile.

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes, pondering what Chen Qian and Shen Luxue had said to coax the person away happily.

At this moment, in the study on the second floor of the Chen family villa.

Chen Xian looked at her father behind the desk and tentatively asked, "Dad, are we really going to let Xiao Qian get engaged to Nan Yan in place of Xiao Hao?"

“Of course, Xiaoqian disagreed before, but now that he agrees, things should be restored to normal,” Mr. Chen replied matter-of-factly.

Given the choice between an unfamiliar biological son and a close adopted son, he would naturally choose the adopted son.

He has the ability to control his adopted son, so why should he seek out his indifferent biological son?

Upon hearing this, Chen Xian looked anxious, "But the Nan family invited Xiao Hao to try on wedding attire this weekend."

I'm worried that if we suddenly change the bride, the Nan family will refuse the marriage proposal.

"They dare!" Chen's father shouted angrily.

After a pause, he continued, "Go and postpone it. Tell them that Xiao Hao has a lot of studies and will go try on the dress himself at a different time."

"When did we tell the Nan family about the change of personnel?" Chen Xian asked in a low voice.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

After a moment's thought, Mr. Chen said, "Keep the news under wraps and don't let it leak out!"

He didn't think the Nan family would back out of the engagement, but there was no need to cause trouble before the engagement banquet.

Chen Xian nodded slightly in agreement, but then hesitated before saying, "Dad, Xiao Hao is still a member of the Chen family. Let's bring him back."

"Don't mention him to me. I will never bring him back unless he kneels down and admits his mistake," Chen's father roared.

No one has ever dared to disobey him. Since Chen Hao has the guts to leave the Chen family, let him fend for himself.

......

Inside Boda College.

After Gu Xingzhou woke up, he saw Chen Hao holding his phone, texting someone, with a big smile on his face.

"Brother Hao, who are you chatting with? You're laughing so happily!"

Chen Hao's smile faded, and he casually replied, "Fiancée."

"Hey, when can we meet?" Gu Xingzhou asked excitedly.

He kept mentioning his fiancée, but he never had a chance to meet her, which made him even more interested in this mysterious fiancée.

What kind of beautiful woman won Hao Ge's favor?

Chen Hao smirked, "You should have heard of her; she's the daughter of the Nan family."

"What? That lame and ugly Nan Yan?" Gu Xingzhou exclaimed in surprise.

In Licheng's high society, who doesn't know the Nan family's daughter?

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao frowned and said softly, "Singapore, you must not judge people by their appearance."

Seeing that his good brother was angry, Gu Xingzhou quickly shut up.

Then, looking puzzled, he asked, "Isn't the Nan family supposed to be allied with the Chen family through marriage? How did she become your fiancée?"

"I am the Chen family's biological son..."

Hearing Chen Hao's explanation, Gu Xingzhou cursed angrily, "Shameless!"

Are the Chen family blind? They'd rather have that imposter than someone as outstanding as you?

"Hehe." Chen Hao smiled without saying a word.

After a while, Gu Xingzhou whispered again, "Brother Hao, now that you've left the Chen family, there's no need for you to marry into the Chen family."

The Nan family's daughter is really not good enough for his brother Hao.

Chen Hao reached out and patted his shoulder, saying confidently, "The Chen family will invite me back sooner or later, don't worry."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Gu Xingzhou stopped trying to persuade him.

Just then, another message came through, and Chen Hao took out his phone to glance at the message.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Hao, who made you angry?" Gu Xingzhou asked cautiously.

Chen Hao shook his head slightly, changing the subject, "I'm thinking of starting an investment company, would you like to partner with me?"

In his past life, he knew which projects could make money, so in this life he simply invests money in them and waits for dividends.

Although I made a lot of money gambling on jade, investing in small projects is no problem, but I'm a bit hesitant about investing in large projects.

If Gu Xingzhou joins, they can invest in more projects.

“Okay.” Gu Xingzhou nodded in agreement without hesitation.

At this moment, Gu Xingzhou had no idea that his decision to invest for his good friend would create a lot of wealth for him in the future.

He even used this to lead the direct line of the Gu family back to the capital.

With the funds in hand, Chen Hao began the process of registering a company and obtaining various permits.

Seeing Chen Hao doing everything himself, Gu Xingzhou asked in confusion, "Brother Hao, we have money now, why don't we hire someone to do this?"

"I'll just do the errands for now," Chen Hao explained with a smile. "Besides, we have nothing here and can't find anyone to help us."

During their lunch break, Chen Hao and Gu Xingzhou went to the most luxurious business district in Licheng.

All the companies, big and small, in Licheng are gathered here. For example, the Chen family also has offices here.

Chen Hao didn't initially like this place. They were a startup company and couldn't afford to rent such an expensive place. But he couldn't persuade Gu Xingzhou that he liked it.

He was right, especially since the office is your home's facade; if it looks shabby, others will question your competence.

"Xingzhou, you go back first and ask for leave for me. I'll go and get the documents done."

After saying this, Chen Hao ran outside.

Upon arriving at the service hall, Chen Hao followed the procedures to process his documents, but he got stuck at one step. "Why can't I process it? My documents are complete."

"I can't do it here, you should ask somewhere else."

Chen Hao argued with the staff for a long time, but the staff just used that one sentence to brush him off.

Even with his good temper, Chen Hao got angry. He said sternly, "Why can't it be done? I followed the procedures. Where are your leaders?"

"Going to my supervisor won't help; it just can't be done," the staff member replied arrogantly.

"You!" Chen Hao was furious, but had nothing to say.

It truly proves the saying, "It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings!"

"Chen Hao? What are you doing here?"
