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

"It's a five-colored jadeite symbolizing fortune, prosperity, longevity, happiness, and wealth!" another person exclaimed.

Even more excited, some people walked up to the jadeite, examined it closely, and exclaimed, "It's glass-type jadeite!"

They're all billionaires, so you can't blame them for acting like they've never seen the world.

After all, glass-type jadeite is already rare, and jadeite with five colors like this is even rarer.

For some, it was the first time they had ever seen something so close.

Hearing the exclamations of the crowd, Gu Xingzhou came to his senses. He looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, then stiffly turned to Chen Hao, "Brother Hao, where did this top-quality jade come from?"

Following Brother Hao, I saw all sorts of special jadeite that he had never seen before in his life.

Chen Hao smirked, "These are some stones I bought from the Treasure Pavilion last time."

"My God, Brother Hao, you're a true master of jade gambling! You always manage to find jade." Gu Xingzhou looked at Chen Hao with admiration.

Several times the stones collapsed, but he ignored them.

Seeing everyone looking at Chen Hao with envy, Gu Xingchi snorted coldly, "It's just good luck, what's so great about it?"

Chen Hao glanced at him and said sarcastically, "Do you have that kind of luck?"

"Who has the right to criticize others after buying a copy of a painting or calligraphy?"

Gu Xingzhou looked up at Gu Xingchi with a smug expression. "Alright, you've finished giving your gifts. You can go now. Don't disturb everyone's viewing of the paintings and jade."

"Hmph!" Gu Xingchi turned and left angrily.

Chen Hao! Gu Xingzhou!

You two just wait, sooner or later I'll trample you under my feet.

Gu Xingzhou didn't have time to deal with him. Seeing how much everyone admired the calligraphy and paintings, he decided to hold an antique appreciation event.

Thinking of this, he quickly instructed the servants to move all the antiques and calligraphy and paintings collected in the old house out.

Looking at Gu Xingzhou bustling around, Chen Hao sighed to Gu Xinglan beside him, "Xingzhou, you've really grown up."

When they first met, Gu Xingzhou was a naive and willful young master, but now he is a responsible person.

Gu Xinglan looked at Gu Xingzhou, who was busy in the room, with a look of satisfaction. She turned to Chen Hao and said softly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have grown up so quickly."

"What does this have to do with me? I didn't do anything," Chen Hao said guiltily, waving his hand.

Did he get caught dumping the company's miscellaneous tasks on Gu Xingzhou?

Suddenly, music started playing in the banquet hall, and Gu Xingzhou's loud voice rang out, "Everyone, let's move to the rhythm!"

Soon, young couples entered the dance floor.

Gu Xinglan looked at Chen Hao beside her, and a thought struck her. "Xiao Hao, may I invite you to dance?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Hao nervously, wondering if he would agree.

"Dancing?" Chen Hao murmured, turning to look at Nan Yan, whose face was tense and whose eyes flashed with a hint of loneliness.

Gu Xinglan followed his gaze, her face darkening slightly before she smiled and teased, "What? Afraid Miss Nan will misunderstand?"

She then took a few steps and came to Nan Yan, asking softly, "Miss Nan, you don't mind if I dance with your future fiancé, do you?"

Future fiancé? What a strange term.

Nan Yan's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile. "Do as you please."

After saying this, she turned her wheelchair around and left.

This kind of liveliness doesn't belong to her.

Seeing this, Chen Hao quickly followed, turning back to apologize to Gu Xinglan as he walked, "Sister Lan, I'm sorry, I have to go now. Please tell Xingzhou for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao brushed past Lu Jiaqi.

“Chen, I’d like to ask you to dance…” Lu Jiaqi opened his mouth, then closed it again.

She stared blankly at Chen Hao as he hurriedly left, a look of disappointment on her face.

The courage I had finally mustered vanished instantly.

Chen Hao caught up with Nan Yan and placed his hands on the handles of her wheelchair. "Come on, I'll take you home."

Such a ball is not suitable for Nan Yan; it will only bring out her sore spots.

"No need, go dance with them." Nan Yan's indifferent voice came.

She's just a cripple, and she can't even dance with Chen Hao; she's really useless.

Chen Hao replied honestly, "I'm getting engaged soon, so dancing with them isn't really appropriate."

Getting involved in scandals would be bad for his career and the Nan family.

Upon hearing this, Nan Yan's lips curled up slightly, and she said in a light voice, "Take me home."

As long as they didn't go too far, she turned a blind eye, since her legs were just too weak.

Meanwhile, Chen Qian, who remained at the banquet, secretly resented Chen Hao for stealing the spotlight at the coming-of-age ceremony.

He approached Chen's father and got straight to the point, "Dad, I'm planning to start a company. Can you provide me with funding?"

"Start a company? What kind of company?" Mr. Chen asked in surprise.

He admitted that Chen Qian was very talented, but he didn't think a student who didn't finish high school could run a good company.

"An investment company. What my brother can do, I can do too, and I can even do it better!" Chen Qian said confidently.

In his eyes, Chen Hao was only able to start a company because of the Gu family's influence and money; in reality, Chen Hao was not as smart as him.

If he could start a company, he would definitely earn more than Chen Hao.

Mr. Chen pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many do you want?"

Chen Qian's eyes lit up, and he tentatively replied, "One hundred million?"

"Don't even think about it. Focus on your studies." Mr. Chen's face darkened, and he directly refused.

He just casually mentions 100 million; does he think he owns a bank?

Chen Qian panicked and hurriedly shouted, "Then fifty million!"

"Dad, my brother's initial startup capital was several hundred million."

He only asked for 100 million, why didn't his dad agree?

"He has the Gu family to provide financial and logistical support, what do you have? Do you want me to hand over the company to you right now?" Mr. Chen mocked.

Such impracticality means that giving him money to invest is like throwing good money after bad; it's a one-way street.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Chen Qian's eyes, then he lowered his head and whispered, "Dad, you're in good health, and the company still needs you to keep things in order."

"Please sponsor me to start a company."

Seeing that he could speak, Chen's father's expression softened, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll give you ten million, do whatever you want with it, that's all."

Ten million, I wouldn't feel bad about losing it.

I would never give you 100 million, no matter what.

Seeing his father's unyielding expression, Chen Qian lowered his head to hide the resentment in his eyes, then smiled insincerely and replied, "Thank you, Dad."

But this money isn't enough.

But in his heart he was thinking, what can ten million do? Just to get rid of him like that? Is this how you treat a beggar?

Hmph, once his company is up and running, he won't care about the Chen family's life or death!

"I don't have any money. Go borrow it from your older sister," Mr. Chen said, declining the offer.

Chen Qian exclaimed in surprise, "Big sister is rich?"

As far as he knew, his eldest sister worked for Chen Shi Bai without a salary, only receiving her annual dividends.

Judging from my older sister's high monthly expenses, she has managed to save some money.
