Chapter 107 The Gathering
Chapter 107 The Gathering
Chen Hao recognized the girl at a glance.
She was the waitress who was being reprimanded by the manager, Zheng Yue, at Homecook Kitchen
Restaurant a few days ago.
She had left a deep impression on Chen Hao. He had only caught sight of her side profile but he knew
that she was very beautiful.
Looking at her face now, he felt like she was very familiar. He slowly recalled.
“Do I know you?” the girl whispered as she pulled the three children behind her back.
She was obviously afraid of Chen Hao. What was more, she was worried that Chen Hao was a human
trafficker.
“Of course, we met at the Homecook Kitchen Restaurant last time. Don’t you remember?” Chen Hao
smiled and said.
The girl thought for a while, and then she said, “It's you, sir. Thank you for saving me last time!”
When she was scolded previously, she dared not look up.
She just secretly glanced at Chen Hao's back when she was leaving the restaurant.
She recognized him now after hearing his voice.
He helped her last time.
Furthermore, this person was very rich!
“You're welcome. You may put down your guard. Are you taking care of these three children?” Chen
Hao asked curiously.
“Yes!” Su Ziyue nodded and led the three children to the roadside.
While walking, she started talking to Chen Hao.
It turned out that these three children were homeless. They sneaked out after being abducted by
traffickers.
The orphanage was not willing to accept children with unknown backgrounds.
Slowly, they began to wander the streets and lived as beggars.
Later on, Su Ziyue met them and took them in.
Her primary job was a teacher in a kindergarten, and she made use of her spare time to take on a part-
time job. By doing so, she could ensure that at least there would be food on the table.
She could also save some enough money for the three children's education.
It was fortunate that Su Ziyue was a kindergarten teacher. Otherwise, these three children wouldn’t
have behaved so sensibly.
To be honest, they were quite pitiful.
It seemed that these three were siblings.
Chen Hao felt his heart ache.
“How about your family?” Chen Hao asked again.
“I grew up in an orphanage. I don’t have any family.”
Su Ziyue said as she lowered her head and tugged on her clothes.
She was really beautiful but being in poverty for a long time had covered up her glory.
Most importantly, she was very restrained in front of Chen Hao.
Chen Hao knew that she was afraid that he would dislike her.
Haha, I bet Su Ziyue doesn’t know that I was once a man who didn't dare to raise my head in front of
others.
Su Ziyue was about the same age as Chen Hao.
To be honest, Chen Hao thought he had a tragic life before this but unexpectedly, Su Ziyue’s situation
was much worse than his.
She didn't even have parents. She was a girl and was kind enough to adopt three homeless children.
This kind of girl was very rare in this world.
The fact that she had adopted these children moved Chen Hao’s heart. He admired her.
“Where do you guys live?” Chen Hao asked. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“We are staying there!”
The three children pointed to a common residency area not far from the elementary school.
“I would like to have a look, can you bring me there?” Chen Hao smiled and asked.
Su Ziyue nodded after she struggled internally for a while.
The residency area was a bit like an old, shanty town.
After entering, Su Ziyue wiped a stool clean and asked Chen Hao to sit.
Then, she hurriedly bathed the three siblings and washed their faces. These children were very
sensible. They would go out to pick up some garbage and sell them every day, which explained their
dusty faces.
“Su Ziyue, my name is Chen Hao! Shall we be friends?” said Chen Hao.
“Friends?” Su Ziyue was surprised.
In her eyes, Chen Hao must be very powerful because even the manager listened to him.
How could someone so powerful be willing to make friends with her?
Chen Hao couldn’t answer it even if you asked him.
They just met by chance today.
Chen Hao was compassionate and had a special place for the poor in his heart.
He could have just helped them then and there. He could arrange accommodation and school for them.
Really, all of these could be done with just a word.
However, when Chen Hao saw Su Ziyue, his heart pounded. There was just something about her that
made Chen Hao want to get to know her and be her friend.
This feeling was very strange.
Actually it was obvious judging from their first meeting.
Her side profile alone was able to leave a deep impression on Chen Hao.
Why do I feel this way about a girl that I met by chance?
Chen Hao also smiled bitterly. He couldn’t answer it.
In a word, he felt attached to her as soon as he saw her.
Chen Hao continued talking to Su Ziyue. The more they talked, the more familiar they became.
They didn’t realize that the afternoon was almost over.
“Ziyue, Ying, I'm leaving. I'll come to see you in a few days!” Chen Hao waved at them and left.
After spending half a day with them, Chen Hao had felt peace for the first time in a long time.
Right now, his mobile phone rang.
It was Chen Lin.
Before Chen Hao left just now, he had asked for Chen Lin's phone number. Although she was
reluctant, they exchanged their phone numbers in the end.
“Chen Hao, this is the first time you are attending our gathering. How could you be late? Didn’t we say
to meet at five o'clock? Where are you?” Chen Lin scolded as soon as he picked up.
“Oh, oh, I had something to do so I couldn’t come on time. I am on my way, I’ll reach in about ten
minutes!”
Dudu...
She had hung up without saying anything.
Chen Hao laughed bitterly.
I shouldn’t have promised my old classmate no matter what.
This is so troublesome!
However, he had agreed to go after all and he wanted to keep his promise. Chen Hao returned to the
parking lot, started the engine and went straight to the hotel that Chen Lin booked.
After parking his car, he went into the private room.
“Chen Hao, you’re finally here. Everyone is waiting for you. Aren’t you ashamed?”
As soon as Chen Hao came in, Chen Lin looked at him in disdain.
“My God, it's really Chen Hao. I haven't seen you for several years. Where are your patched clothes?
Have you started to wear normal clothes?”
“Hahaha. Hey, Chen Hao, I heard that you're studying in Jin Ling College. It is a famous college. You’re
about to start your internship right? Have you found a company?”
“Have a seat first and tell us more. How have you been these years?”
The dining table in the room was very big. It was enough to hold more than 20 people.
There were more than 20 alumni from his old school. It included four or five classmates from Chen
Hao's high school class. The room was full of people.
As Chen Hao smiled at them, he saw a girl sitting at the seat for guests of honor.
It was Li Shihan!
Li Shihan was the closest with Chen Hao in high school. She was also the most beautiful girl in class,
and she was the friend who always studied with Chen Hao.
To be honest, both of them had some feelings for each other last time but Li Shihan hadn’t planned to
date Chen Hao, who came from a poor family. Chen Hao hadn’t planned to date Li Shihan too, who
came from a decent family.
Their family background differences were just too big.
Therefore, they were just better than good friends!
“Shihan, I haven’t seen you for two or three years. How are you?”
Chen Hao smiled. Li Shihan had changed a lot. She had also learned how to put on makeup. She
looked even more pretty and elegant than before.
She was absolutely a goddess.
“I'm fine. You should find a place to sit down,” Li Shihan smiled a little and said camly.
They had not been in contact for three years. The feelings that she had for him were long gone,
regardless if it was platonic or romantic.
Chen Hao felt like he was meeting a complete stranger.
“Alright.”
Chen Hao saw that there was a vacant seat beside her and was about to sit down.
“Who told you to sit there?” His butt had not even touched the chair when he heard a cold female voice.
It was quite loud and annoying, which made Chen Hao jump with fright...
