Chapter 304: The Xue Family
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Hao had heard about people like him before, about people who went to Southport for a few years and forgot their roots.
Southporters usually think that they are better than people from mainland Huaxia.
Evidently, the person in front of him was one of them.
Tang Hao instantly lost all respect for him.
“He’s not a native Southporter, and the Xue ancestral home is in Westridge. However, his elders migrated to Southport many years ago. I’ve heard that they are quite famous in Southport, and they run a large family business.
“His family migrated to Southport while he was in his third year of high school. I haven’t seen him ever since then.
“A few days ago, Xiaomo posted my photo as a joke in our chat group. That guy sent me a private message and tried to be friendly.
“I ignored him at first, but I didn’t expect that he would show up here today.”
Tang Hao’s expression became curious after he heard that.
‘So it’s all the photo’s fault!’
It somewhat made sense when he thought about it. Sis Xiangyi was an attractive woman, and she became even more beautiful after taking the Jade Bone Pill. No wonder that guy came all the way from Southport to Westridge to look for her.
However, he was not going to show any mercy to that guy for attempting to snatch his girlfriend.
He lifted his head and glared coldly at the figure outside of his car.
Xue Kai stood there and looked at Tang Hao. He had a sinister expression on his face.
He did not expect that the person he had looked down upon was Qin Xiangyi’s boyfriend.
He glanced at the A8 again and his eyes were filled with disdain.
Someone driving an A8 in the mainland was considered rich, but Xue Kai was a Southporter with a billionaire family. That person was no more than a country bumpkin in his eyes.
‘That kid is no match for me. Xiangyi will eventually be mine.’
He was also thinking of how to teach that kid a lesson.
He gritted his teeth in anger when he remembered how he was played a fool earlier.
Tang Hao and Qin Xiangyi returned home. It was about seven o’clock by the time they had finished dinner.
Tang Hao received Liu Dajun’s call.
“Hey, Lil Tang! Are you free tonight?” Liu Dajun asked.
“What’s up?”
“There’s a cocktail party tonight and a lot of the big businessmen in Westridge are attending. Do you want to come? Ol’ Li, Ol’ Huang, and the others are also invited.”
“Cocktail party?” Tang Hao was surprised. “Who’s the host?”
“It’s a businessman from Southport, and his name is Xue Cheng. The Xue family used to be from Westridge. They moved to Southport some time ago and made it big there. Their company is called Sky Tycoon International Group. They have billions in assets!
“Now, they’re returning to their hometown and they plan to invest in Westridge.
“The Xue family is quite powerful. If they’re really pumping their money here, then they’ll be the head honchos in the Westridge business world. I’ve got to get myself acquainted with them.
Tang Hao’s expression changed slightly.
That businessman’s surname was Xue and he was from Southport. He must be related to that Xue Kai.
“How will it be, Lil Tang, are you going?” Liu Dajun asked again.
Tang Hao thought about it for a while and agreed to it.
There was nothing to be afraid about. He wanted to know more about the Xue family.
He got the address of the party from Liu Dajun, then told Sis Xiangyi about it.
They dressed up formally to attend the dinner gathering. Tang Hao changed into his business suit, while Qin Xiangyi put on some light makeup and dressed in a black evening gown.
She put on the jade bracelets and earring pendants, which enhanced her beauty beyond compare.
The cocktail party was held at a high-class venue in the north of town. They arrived some time past eight o’clock.
Many luxury cars were parked at the venue.
Tang Hao parked his car, and both of them walked to the venue hand in hand.
There was a small commotion when they arrived at the front entrance.
Everyone who was at the front entrance turned to behold the beautiful figure.
The figure was tall and slender. Her evening gown had brought out the curves of her perfect body very well.
Her face was one that could launch a thousand ships.
Everyone’s eyes glazed over when they saw her approach. A while later, they came to their senses and exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s Qin the Femme Fatale!”
“Qin the Femme Fatale is here!”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Then, their gaze turned to the boy next to her.
“Greetings, Boss Tang! Long time no see!” They crowded around Tang Hao and greeted him.
All the business owners in Westridge District knew who Tang Hao was. The kid had started a healthcare products company at a young age and had achieved booming sales. He was a rising star in the business world of Westridge.
Furthermore, he had many powerful people backing him, including the top leaders in the district government.
If there was one person that they could not afford to cross, Tang Hao was that person.
Tang Hao returned the greeting to each one of them.
Another commotion happened when they entered the event hall.
“You’re here, Lil Tang!”
Liu Dajun and the others came to greet him.
“See that person over there, Lil Tang? That’s him.” Liu Dajun pointed a finger at the middle of the hall, where four people were standing and chatting while holding wine glasses.
Tang Hao knew three of them. They were the pioneers of the Westridge business world. The other person whom he did not recognize must be Xue Cheng from Southport.
Tang Hao examined him closely. Xue Cheng was a tall and well-built man in his fifties. He had a gentlemanly and bookish face. At that moment, he was chatting intently with the three people.
“The Xue family is quite well-connected in Westridge. Old Master Xue is very good friends with the three pioneers. Now that the Xue family is coming back to Westridge, the business scene will drastically change. I’ve heard that they’re pouring in a lot of money too. They plan to invest three hundred million yuan here,” Liu Dajun said.
“That Xue family is pretty amazing. They’ve made it big in Southport,” President Li said.
“Ha! This is their glorious return. They’ve made their money there, and so they’re showing it off here,” President Huang said.
Tang Hao looked at Xue Cheng for a while, then turned elsewhere.
He was chatting with Liu Dajun and the rest when he noticed a familiar figure coming in from the entrance. That person was none other than Xue Kai.
However, he was not as handsome and cool as before. His head was currently wrapped in bandages. Everyone turned to look at him when he entered the hall.
Everyone was shocked and started whispering to each other.
Xue Cheng turned to look at his son and was shocked. “What happened…?”
“Dad!” Xue Kai greeted his father. He had an indignant expression on his face. “Don’t you know? I met a bastard this afternoon. He pulled some dirty tricks and I nearly suffered a concussion.”
Xue Kai’s eyes were spewing fire when he thought of the incident earlier that afternoon.
“You must avenge me, Dad!”
