Chapter 91 - Hurry Up and Send Him Overseas

Editor: Levs

Wu Haoyuan left after s.h.i.+ Lei declared that the Conti was ready. He was fidgety before that as everyone ignored him and he sat in the corner like a clown. 

The mansion and the staff there were all very intriguing. If it was before, if Wu Haoyuan had a chance like this, he definitely wouldn’t let the chance slip by. 

But today, Wu Haoyun didn’t dare to offend any of the staff members there. Although they were just staff, but they were the staff in that person’s house. How stupid did Wu Haoyuan needed to be to look for trouble in that person’s house? 

When he was at the front gate, the butler even purposely asked: “Are you leaving already?” Wu Haoyuan gave him no reactions and stepped on the accelerator, das.h.i.+ng away. He just wanted to hurry up and go home, climb in bed and have a nice sleep. He hoped that he would forget about all the embarra.s.sment he received today and discover that today’s encounters were just a dream. 

But after Wu Haoyuan was back at home, he could not sleep no matter how hard he tried. The shame and embarra.s.sment he received during the day was so strong that it was indelible. Every single detail was as if rooted in his brain, the more he wanted to forget, the clearer it became. 

Hearing that there were some sounds outside, Wu Haoyuan knew that his father came back. Not long after, he heard his mother’s conversation with his father. 

“How strange, the father and the son came back this early today?” This was Wu Haoyuan’s mother’s voice. 

His father then said: “That brat is back? How rare. I’m so busy yet when I come back home he’s still out. Did the sun rise from the west today(1)?” 

“He didn’t seem very happy. He ignored me when I talked to him and he went straight to bed.” 

Wu Haoyuan’s father snorted and said: “Whatever. You spoiled this child.” 

“How come you are back so early?” Wu Hoayuan’s mother asked. 

“Speaking of the sun rising from the west, nothing seemed right today. When I was out with others, someone said that the person who lives on top of the Qing Long mountain……” 

Wu Haoyuan’s mother knew exactly whom his husband was talking about and lowered her voice: “That person?” 

“Yes. Although he doesn’t live there himself, and only visit there occasionally every year for break, but that place is basically a forbidden area, but today, it was opened and a bunch of fuerdai had a c.o.c.ktail party there. They were all top tier fuerdai and I heard that even the least rich one had 50 billion worth of a.s.sets. I would probably never have the chance to step into that tier in this life!” 

Wu Haoyuan’s mother was also surprised: “I’ve heard that all the people that went there before were either leaders of countries, or the top tier super rich people in the country. 50 billion is much stronger than us, but compare to that, isn’t the gap a bit too big?” 

“Exactly. That’s why it’s strange. I really don’t know what’s going on……” 

Before Wu Haoyuan’s father finished his sentence, they heard his voice from behind: “I know what happened and I went in there today.”  

“What are you blabbering about! You are really getting more and more mannerless!” Obviously his father did not believe him, but even his mother was filled with disbelief. 

Wu Haoyuan panicked and said: “I really went in.” 

The couple stared at each other for a while with strange expressions and thought that their son was sleep walking. Wu Haoyuan panicked even more: “Really, I’m not lying to you, I really went there today. There was Wei Qing, Wei Shao, from Shanghai, and Chen Shao, you should know who Chen Shao is, right? From our Wu Dong city. And there was the daughter of the Wu Dong District military commander, and……” 

Wu Haoyuan’s father’s face was written with wonder as he indeed heard that a young master of the Wei family came to Wu Dong from Shanghai, and he was one of the main characters at the party. If Wu Haoyuan could recount it with detail, it just meant that he really wasn’t lying. 

“How did you get in?” Wu Haoyuan’s father asked in a hurry. He prayed that if Wu Haoyuan really made friends with any of those people, then his business might even ascend to a whole new level. 

But when Wu Haoyuan was questioned, he suddenly fell silent and refused to say a word. 

Wu Haoyuan’s father forced him and even got mad, his mother also tried to persuade him nicely on the side, Wu Haoyuan finally realised how powerful s.h.i.+ Lei was. He could no longer contain it and recounted to his fathers about the grudge between s.h.i.+ Lei and him, how they placed a bet today, how he lost horrendously and how he was invited to the mansion. 

Wu Haoyuan’s father’s expressions darkened word by word. By the end, coldness filled his face. 

“I knew that you would never do something good. I thought you made friends with one of them, but I didn’t think that…… Wu Haoyuan, you just had to offend someone you couldn’t afford to do so, didn’t you?! When you held the grudge between you and that s.h.i.+ Shao, why didn’t you do some background research on him?” 

“I did, but he kept such a low profile that I couldn’t find anything useful. I only knew that he came from Run Zhuo and now I even doubt that that was fake. Who would have imagined that a person who is close with a super fuerdai like Wei Shao would pretend to be a ordinary person? You can go to my school and ask who knows s.h.i.+ Lei…… Oh, no, s.h.i.+ Shao, is a fuerdai? Almost everyone thought that he was merely an ordinary student.” 

Wu Haoyuan’s words made his father ponder. If it was really like this, then it wasn’t that Wu Haoyuan was too useless, but that the enemy hid himself too well. 

Or maybe, this s.h.i.+ Lei was not from a super rich family, but a family member of a politician with high status in the country, otherwise, there were no other ways to explain why he was so modest. Of course, political families like that, although they may not have such high a.s.sets, but they would never be tight on money either. 

Wu Haoyuan’s father let out a long sigh and said: “Haoyuan, you shouldn’t stay in Wu Dong University anymore. I’ll organise it tomorrow and send you overseas. Go first, and I’ll order someone to process the formalities, then you will stay in Europe for a few years.” 

“Huh? Why?” Wu Haoyuan and his mother asked at the same time. 

“Why?!” Wu Haoyuan’s father raged. He slapped him on the face so hard that he almost fell down due to the force: “You offended someone like this and you are asking me why? Not to mention those fuerdai, you can even forget about Shanghai’s Wei Shao, but, you tell me, what is s.h.i.+ Shao’s ident.i.ty if that person even let him borrow his mansion? When you were there today, did you ever hear anyone mentioning his background? If those fuerdai couldn’t even mention it so lightly, and s.h.i.+ Shao was so polite, do you still not know what kind of person you offended? If he didn’t care, you are fine. If he’s in a bad mood someday, Wu Haoyuan, you won’t even know how you died!” 

His father words shocked Wu Haoyuan and his mother as these two finally realised the severe outcome. 

“The only plan we can come up with right now is to not let him see you again. If he doesn’t see you, he may not remember about you. Maybe our family’s business can keep going. I’m old too. Maybe I should transfer my a.s.set and it’s the time for me to live an ordinary and peaceful life with you two overseas……” Wu Haoyuan’s father sighed heavily and he seemed to have aged so much in an instant. 

…… 

At the same time, in an extremely quiet study, an old man about sixty years old with strands of white hair was holding a calligraphy brush dipped in ink with his eyes closed, unable to write a word. 

The door of the study was opened and a voice asked: “Dad, people from the outside are saying that you lent the mansion on top of the mountain to a bunch of children for a c.o.c.ktail party?” 

Sun rising from the west: a Chinese saying describing something is unusual
