Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: True Proof (48)
A white Porsche Panara quietly pulled up to the sidewalk.
Xie Yunyao, who was walking and chatting shoulder-to-shoulder with Wang Chen, instinctively stopped in her tracks, because although this wasn’t her car, it was still very familiar to her.
The car doors opened, and two young n stepped out from the driver’s seat and passenger seat respectively.
The driver bead and waved at Xie Yunyao, “Yaoyao, what a coincidence!”
What a coincidence?
Xie Yunyao glared angrily, her eyes widening—what kind of coincidence would lead to this!
The other young man shot a venomous glare at Wang Chen, as if the latter had so deep-seated vendetta against him.
The driver had a playful look in his eyes as he walked over and asked, “Yunyao, is this your friend? How co I’ve never seen him before… ouch!”
He let out a pained cry, “You little brat!”
He had been stomped on, hard, by Xie Yunyao.
Xie Yunyao retracted her foot and turned to Wang Chen with an apologetic smile, “Sorry about that, this is my big dumb oaf of a brother. Just pretend you don’t know him.”
As for the other young man, who was glaring daggers at her, she completely ignored him, as if he didn’t even exist.
Wang Chen chuckled softly, finding Xie Yunyao even more amusing now than before.
The driver, grimacing in pain, extended his hand to Wang Chen, “Let introduce myself. I’m Xie Yunyao’s older brother, Xie Haichao. Nice to et you, future brother-in-law!”
Xie Yunyao was utterly mortified. She raised her foot to stomp on him again, but her quick-witted brother dodged skillfully this ti.
Wang Chen shook hands with Xie Haichao and said, “Hello, I’m Wang Chen, a classmate of Xie Yunyao’s in high school.”
Xie Haichao was curious, “From Huhai?”
Wang Chen shook his head, “Yi City.”
Xie Haichao suddenly understood, “Oh, so you’re a classmate from Yi City No. 5 Middle School. No wonder I’ve never seen you before. If we hadn’t happened to run into each other today, Yaoyao would’ve kept in the dark!”
Wang Chen smiled, “Yunyao and I are just classmates, not even in the sa class.”
Xie Haichao smirked, “No need to explain. Explaining is just covering up. I get it.”
Wang Chen was at a loss for words.
He couldn’t help but wonder how soone like Xie Haichao could be related to soone like Xie Yunyao. Were they even real siblings?
Wang Chen suspected he might’ve been picked up by Chang Qian.
“Wang Chen, just ignore him,”
Xie Yunyao huffed angrily. “He’s never serious about anything. My ride’s here. Let drive you back to the hotel.”
As she spoke, a Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled up behind the Panara.
“You should head back,”
Wang Chen politely declined, “I plan on walking a bit more and catching a cab back to the hotel later.”
Since Xie Haichao and others were present, Xie Yunyao didn’t push further, “Alright then. See you the day after tomorrow.”
“See you.”
After bidding Wang Chen farewell, Xie Yunyao shot her brother a glare before getting into the Rolls-Royce.
The entire ti, she completely ignored the other young man, treating him like he was invisible.
The young man’s face turned a deep red, equal parts embarrassnt and anger, but he didn’t dare act out.
Wang Chen nodded at Xie Haichao and continued walking along.
“Wait up.”
Xie Haichao’s eyes twitched as an idea ca to him. He suddenly stepped forward, blocking Wang Chen’s path with a grin, “Wang Chen, it’s fate that we’ve t. It’s rare for you to visit Huhai. Why don’t I take you sowhere fun to hang out? We can have a little chat, what do you think?”
He knew very well how beautiful his sister was and how many people were pursuing her. Yet, Xie Yunyao showed no interest in any of them. So when he found out she’d been strolling by the river with a guy tonight, he had to co and see for himself.
Just what kind of person had managed to catch the attention of his proud and aloof little sister!
To his disappointnt, Wang Chen was nothing like the elegant, strikingly handso young man he’d imagined. Not only was Wang Chen utterly ordinary in appearance, but his entire outfit combined probably wasn’t worth the cost of a single button on his suit!
Had his sister lost her mind?
As her closest brother, Xie Haichao felt it was his duty to let Wang Chen know that fairytales of commoners and princesses never happen in reality.
He wanted Wang Chen to back off.
And Wang Chen, in turn, could see right through Xie Haichao’s intention, finding the whole thing amusing.
To be honest, Wang Chen really didn’t have any special interest in Xie Yunyao. Strictly speaking, she was just a bridge for him—a ans to connect with Haicheng Group through this wealthy young woman.
In doing so, he could preemptively avert a future disaster for Wang Zhenghai and help his father achieve an unfulfilled dream.
In this life, Wang Chen was careful not to owe any karmic debts.
So after solidifying his plans, he didn’t distance himself from Xie Yunyao ungratefully.
As for people accusing him of social climbing, well, wasn’t it actually the other way around?
“Alright, I’ll trouble you then.”
Amused by Xie Haichao’s scheming, Wang Chen didn’t outright refuse.
The night was long. If soone was offering entertainnt, why not enjoy it?
“Hop in!”
Xie Haichao felt triumphant, convinced Wang Chen had walked right into his trap. He imdiately opened the car door and gestured for him to enter.
Wang Chen obliged, getting into the backseat of the Panara without hesitation.
Once all three were in the car, Xie Haichao introduced the young man in the passenger seat to Wang Chen, “Ah, I forgot to introduce this earlier. This is my friend Gu Zhiyong. He’s currently an investnt manager at Gu Capital.”
Wang Chen nodded politely, “Hello.”
Gu Zhiyong snorted in response.
Wang Chen ignored him and instead glanced around at the car’s interior, remarking, “Brother Xie, this car of yours looks impressive. It must be worth at least a million or two, right?”
He wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about luxury cars, but he could tell from the lavishly customized interior that this Panara was no ordinary vehicle.
His comnt hit the sweet spot for Xie Haichao, who burst out laughing, “This is a 2014 Panara Turbo Executive 4.8T. I just had it shipped over from overseas last month. It cost over three million landing price. With the modifications, it’s worth over five million!”
Wang Chen expressed his admiration, “Impressive.”
In his previous life, Wang Chen owned a car too—a dostic electric car worth just over two hundred thousand yuan. Compared to this Panara, it was a joke.
But in the world of immortal cultivation, Wang Chen’s ride had been a Magical Treasure Flying Ship.
A thousand Panaras wouldn’t be enough to buy a single plank from that ship!
Yet, no matter how genuine his tone sounded, Xie Haichao, for so reason, didn’t hear any real amazent in Wang Chen’s complint, even though he’d said it quite sincerely.
This annoyed Xie Haichao slightly. Stepping on the gas, he sped forward with determination, inwardly vowing to show Wang Chen just how the elite class played their gas!
As he drove, he turned to Gu Zhiyong, “Call Old Five, Wan Kaichen, and the others to join us at Salon. Tonight, I’m footing the bill. Tell ier to book the best VIP tables!”
This commanding tone of his carried the flair of a domineering CEO!
