Chapter 189 Beach Party
Jiang Man looked at the beautiful women in cool clothes and felt like an outlier. She gently tugged at Chen Hao's sleeve and said, "Hey, why didn't you tell me you were going to the beach?"
Chen Hao turned around and said in a pretended intimacy, "Does it matter?"
Why do I always feel like I’m being teased?
Zheng Rui stood in the middle of the crowd, wearing a simple shirt and hot pants. She walked up to Chen Hao naturally and asked, "Why are you here so late?"
"Go pick it up." Chen Hao said gently, his eyes full of doting.
Jiang Man raised his eyebrows, this kid can really act.
Zheng Rui glanced at Jiang Man, then looked at Chen Hao, and naturally understood that Chen Hao did it on purpose.
She took Jiang Man's arm affectionately and said, "Ms. Jiang, I haven't heard you introduce yourself yet. After all, a woman who can be favored by Chen Hao must be extraordinary."
Jiang Man didn't expect that she would be called out. She touched her nose and knew that the people here were all powerful and famous. Zheng Rui said this just to see her make a fool of herself.
She smiled calmly, "I'm an employee of Chen Hao's company."
When she said this, Zheng Rui's smile widened, and she continued to ask, "What are your uncle and aunt's occupations?"
Chen Hao's eyes gradually became profound.
Jiang Man didn't notice anything unusual and answered her directly: "My parents are both educators."
"Oh?" Zheng Rui had an expression of sudden enlightenment on her face, and there was a hint of teasing in her eyes when she looked at Chen Hao. She naturally knew what Chen Hao wanted most at the moment.
"Ms. Jiang, don't be so reserved. We're friends now that we know each other." She pulled Jiang Man to a barbecue grill and said, "What do you like to eat? Do you need me to grill it for you?"
This sudden change made Jiang Man a little uncomfortable, and he could only shake his head and refuse.
"Then Miss Jiang, please help me roast the broccoli." She looked at Jiang Man with a somewhat pleading look, "You know, I'm not very good at this."
"Oh, okay." Jiang Man nodded, his eyes flashing. Was this a way to intimidate her?
"Then I'll go do something else first. Call me when you're done." Zheng Rui walked away with a smile.
Jiang Man didn't care and just considered it as helping Chen Hao.
She skillfully brushed oil, flipped, and sprinkled seasonings on it.
Zheng Rui walked to Chen Hao's side, and Chen Hao's eyes never left Jiang Man.
"She is not suitable for you." Zheng Rui brought two cocktails and handed one to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao took the wine glass and took a sip. "What does this have to do with you?"
"As far as I know, she is your brother's woman."
"I don't need you to talk too much." His fingers loosened, and the wine glass slipped from his hand and shattered in an instant.
Zheng Rui looked at the debris on the ground and laughed, "Then why are you here today?"
"What do you say?"
"You're doing this for Madam Su, right?" Zheng Rui sneered. "We all know that wealthy families are fighting among themselves. You need a strong backer, and the Zheng family is exactly the backer your mother is looking for."
"So what?"
"Not very good. Aren't you afraid that I will get angry if you bring her to my territory like this?" Zheng Rui smiled, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"How can your anger affect me?" Chen Hao looked at her with amusement. "Do you still want to touch her? With me here, you probably won't have that chance."
"Ms. Zheng, let's be frank. I don't want to own anything in the Qin family."
"So I think it's totally unnecessary for you to please me. As for why I came to this banquet, it's just to stop my mother from nagging, that's all." He looked at Zheng Rui a few times, "Could it be that Miss Zheng thinks I'm interested in you?" He sniffed Zheng Rui's face ambiguously, "It's a pity, I'm not very interested in roses." After that, he walked towards Jiang Man.
Zheng Rui closed her eyes, looked at Chen Hao's back, and gradually tightened her grip on the wine glass.
Jiang Man was grilling something when suddenly a burst of thick smoke blew directly towards her face.
She coughed violently a few times, "What are you doing?"
She glared at Chen Hao, who blinked innocently, "I think the fire isn't strong enough."
"If the fire isn't strong enough, there's no need to fan it!"
"I didn't notice." He sounded aggrieved, like a young wife.
Jiang Man stared at him. Seeing that he was acting funny again, he really had no idea what to do with him.
"Get out of the way." She emphasized.
"You are cruel to me."
Jiang Man held his forehead. This little ancestor just loved to mess around. "Chen Hao."
"I understand." Chen Hao curled his lips, stopped fooling around, and stood beside her.
He coughed and said, "Manman, I like eating oysters."
"Bake it yourself!" Jiang Man said unhappily.
"No, I want the oysters grilled by Manman himself." Chen Hao pouted and threw a coquettish glance at Jiang Man.
Jiang Man received this flirtatious look and shuddered suddenly. She pinched his waist with a headache and said, "Be normal."
Chen Hao lowered his head and leaned over to whisper in her ear in a pretentious manner: "Sister-in-law, we are just putting on a show."
Jiang Man knocked on his head and could only cooperate with this ancestor. She said with a pleasant face: "Ahao, what else do you want to eat?"
"Shrimp, bean curd, eggplant..." He listed more than a dozen dish names in one breath.
Jiang Man took a deep breath and controlled his temper, "Okay."
"Hehe..." Chen Hao grinned and kissed her on the face.
Jiang Man's eyes widened, and he turned around with a look of surprise on his face.
Chen Hao looked at her with a forced smile, "It's just acting, acting."
"I..." Jiang Man was speechless.
After a day of hard labor, night fell. Jiang Man tugged at Chen Hao's sleeve and asked, "Can we go home now?"
"No." Chen Hao rejected her without thinking.
"Why?" Jiang Man was a little confused.
Chen Hao's eyes drooped, and he whispered, "Sister-in-law, think about it. If you leave now, I will be left alone. How pitiful it is."
Jiang Man just felt a headache.
"Since everyone is so excited, why don't we go racing?" Someone in the crowd suggested this, and there was another round of noise as soon as the suggestion was made.
Jiang Man frowned, wondering what young people these days were thinking.
She grabbed Chen Hao's sleeve and said, "You are not allowed to go."
Chen Hao laughed dryly to deal with everyone, "Why not go?"
"Cherish your life."
"I heard that Young Master Chen is an excellent driver. Are you interested in competing with me?" The person who just proposed the speed racing suggestion spoke again, pointing the finger at Chen Hao.
Jiang Man looked at Chen Hao worriedly and was about to refuse on Chen Hao's behalf.
But Chen Hao held her hand tightly, "Okay, I haven't played for a long time." There was a hint of teasing between his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with unruly light, with a hint of contempt.
