YM778.TV Chapter 98: Family Dinner.
Hao Ren replied calmly, "I will file a PIL against Hamil Real Estate, and the officials in his pocket."
Xiao Mei replied, "You are so cunning."
Hao Ren did not reply to her, he stepped out of the car and the valet came over to drive the vehicle into the parking space. Hao Ren came to the front desk and said, "Hello, My name is Hao Ren, I have an appointment with Miss Han Lingshi."
The lady on the counter was stunned for a second and said, "Yes, Mister Hao, please wait a second, I will arrange someone to bring you the private room. You can wait for your host there."
Hao Ren nodded and then he waited for a few moments before following the waiter to the special room that Han Lingshi had arranged. He also called her to ask about the situation and it turned out that the Han Family was about to reach and Han Lingxue will lead them to the special room. His parents were accompanied by Han Lingshi herself.
Hao Ren sighed and before the call was disconnected, he said, "I have never felt this anxious. Not even when I registered my marriage to you, Lingshi."
The lady chuckled and said, "Why did you cry at the moment when they were clicking our picture then?"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "It was because I never imagined that someone like you is destined to be with me."
Han Lingshi snorted and disconnected the call after scolding him for being a flirt. Hao Ren sighed and began to walk around in the room. To pass the time, he got on a call with Dion and checked in on the financial aspect of the investment company. Dion was on the right track, he had been investing small amounts of money in various businesses with great potential.
Hao Ren was talking next to the french window when the door was slowly pushed open and he did not notice this. At this moment, his brows were furrowed and his entire body was radiating a cold aura. The Han Family members who had just come over were surprised by this. Then they heard Hao Ren say, "Mister Dion, I gave you a free reign, and I trust you, but I want this done by the next week.
This company is important for me, because I have some ideas that I cannot share on the call. However, if they are asking you for double the market cap, stuff them with money and get me the company, understood?"
On the other side, Dion replied with an affirmation and Hao Ren disconnected the call. He could sense multiple sets of eyes pointed at his back. He turned around and restrained his cold aura before he bowed and greeted everyone with a sunny smile.
Lady Yue nodded at him in approval and remarked, "I did not expect that Businessman Hao Ren would be this commanding."
Hao Ren smiled with a faint tint of shyness in his eyes. He said, "Aunty, shall I order something for you all?"
Han Tang shook his head but Han Lingxue spoke with a tired tone, "Brother-in-law, how about you brew tea for all of us. I am sure that it is the only elixir that could bring me back from the wells of laziness."
The expression was so exaggerated that the girl even yawned at the end of her sentence. Hao Ren chuckled and rubbed her head as he said, "Xuexue, you are a people pleaser."
The two bantered around while Hao Ren made tea for the people. Then he poured three more cups and placed them before the empty chairs. The next moment, the door opened and Han Lingshi led in Old Man Hao and Mrs. Hao.
The couple was dressed modestly, Mister Hao wore a white shirt with his sleeves folded up till his forearms, with e black trouser and shiny leather shoes. The clothes were new but they did not seem to be stiff, instead they had a crisp vibe about them. He was wearing a silver watch on his left wrist, and his hair was well groomed.
Don\'t think it was because of the money of their son, but Old Man Hao used to be a county official, and he always carried himself with a well groomed style and dignity. Beside him, Empress Hao was wearing a subtle white and blue skirt with a matching Tang Suit jacket. This was the uniform she wore on her retirement day and was one of her most prideful clothing.
Han Lingshi led them over, and had the two people take seat before Old Master Hao said in a clear voice, "It was only today when we came to find that your family is very high in terms of social standard than ours. Lingshi has told me that you all are honest people and thus, we also wanted to be honest.
My name is Hao Xinyuan, I used to work in the County Office at the position of County Cultural Secretary. This is my wife, Tang Zen. She used to be the County Chief Teacher."
The Han Family were surprised by these words, but Lady Gao Yue kicked her husband under the table and who said, "Master Hao, you glorify us. Like yours, my family comes from a County near the Eshen Region. I came out of the county to make a fortune and that is all. Money is not the standard to measure anyone."
His words made the old Hao couple smile, while Hao Ren and the rest of the people almost rolled their eyes. The introductions were made and Lady Gao Yue asked, "What do you two think about the wedding ceremony of this pair of youth?"
Empress Hao smiled faintly and said, "Madam Han, Lingshi told me that they have registered their marriage in the court, so now all we need to do is to hold a ceremony for them. Since you and Master Han are elder to us both, it would be nice that you to decide a day. We have no problem with the date."
Gao Yue was surprised and asked, "Do you have no objections? After all, it is the wedding ceremony of your son."
Tang Zen shook her head and replied, "I only hope that you do not select the month of December. My elder daughter passed away in that month a few years ago and it is a special period for us. Other than that, it is up to you. Plus, I am getting a Daughter by putting this lad in a nice suit, what more is there to ask for."
After a few minutes, the conversation evolved and Master Han said, "I suggest we hold the wedding in spring, the day when cherry blossoms paint the sky pink. What do you say?"
Hao Xinyuan was stunned and then he chuckled as he said, "Old Master Han, you have taken the words out of my heart. We have no problem."
The two families agreed and then they began to tease the couple. Han Lingshi and Hao Ren looked at each other before they mumbled, "They are all a bunch of old bullies."
