Qin Xiangyi discreetly took a step backward and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t come here alone. My boyfriend is here too, he’s gone to park the car and will be here soon.”
After that, she smiled apologetically.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
‘The beauty queen has a boyfriend?’
The news had thoroughly stunned them. They could not believe it. When they finally processed that information, they displayed disappointed looks on their faces. Some of the men even wailed out loud.
Yan Lili was also stunned. ‘She has a boyfriend now?’
She stretched her neck and looked toward the entrance. She was incredibly curious about who that woman’s boyfriend was. She knew that Qin Xiangyi has very high standards, which was why she remained single throughout her four years in university.
At the same time, she was also preparing to laugh at her.
No matter who Qin Xiangyi’s boyfriend might be, he would never be better than her husband. Why would Qin Xiangyi bring her boyfriend when she knew that Yan Lili married a perfect husband? There was no way that Qin Xiangyi would be spared from humiliation.
The men also looked toward the entrance. They wore hostile expressions on their faces.
At that time, Tang Hao walked into the hall.
He was surprised when he saw that everyone was looking at him.
The people in the hall were even more surprised when they saw Tang Hao. They opened their eyes wide, unable to believe what they saw.
The young man who had stepped in the hall looked quite handsome, and his clothes looked expensive.
However… he was too young!
He did not look to be more than twenty years old. In their eyes, he was no more than a child and even a boy toy!
‘Perhaps Xiangyi had bought the clothes he was wearing too!’
Everyone had already judged him at that instant.
They knew that Qin Xiangyi was rich. After graduation, she returned to her home province and started a clothing factory there. She earned millions every year and drove a Ferrari.
Of course, the kid might be from a wealthy family too.
That was less probable though, and they would rather believe that Tang Hao was a boy toy rather than having wealthy parents.
They stared daggers at Tang Hao, their expressions an equal mix of jealousy and anger.
Some people started to regard Qin Xiangyi with condescension.
“I was blind to like her. I thought that she would be different from other women, but she’s just a seductress who likes boy toys after all].”
Those people mocked her loudly.
The women had mixed reactions. They did not expect Qin Xiangyi to have a boy toy younger than her as a boyfriend. Had she lost her mind?
After her initial shock, Yan Lili’s shoulders started shaking because she tried hard not to burst out laughing.
‘Hahaha! This stupid filthy b*tch brought a boy toy here! This is too funny!’
‘She might as well be slapping herself in the face in front of everyone!’
She covered her mouth to stop her from laughing but she could not hold it back.
“Hahaha!”
She finally burst out laughing which only grew in intensity and volume. Soon, she was doubled over with laughter.
“Hahaha! Xiangyi, he… is he your boyfriend? Haha! He looks so tender. I didn’t know you are fond of kids. Oh my, this is too funny!”
Her belly was hurting from all the laughter.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. He went next to Qin Xiangyi and whispered, “Is that woman… crazy or something? Or is she having a stroke? Is it even that funny?”
Qin Xiangyi burst out laughing when she heard that.
Even though Tang Hao spoke softly, the people around him heard that.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Yan Lili’s expression immediately turned hostile. She shrieked like a mad woman, “What are you saying, you boy toy? You’re the one who’s crazy. Your entire family is crazy!”
Tang Hao pressed his lips but did not say anything.
‘Why does everyone think I’m a boy toy? Do I really look like one?’
He touched his face, feeling a little frustrated.
He did not think that a boy toy was a positive comment. He had achieved much with his effort and abilities, but everyone else thought that he relied on other women for money. He was not too happy about that.
Qin Xiangyi noticed the change in his expression. She leaned over and said, “They’re complimenting you, Lil Tang. They say that you’re handsome. If you’re not handsome, how would you be a boy toy?”
“I suppose that’s true… I’ll treat it as though she’s complimenting me then!” Tang Hao said helplessly.
Yan Lili stamped her foot in anger when she heard that. “Who the hell is complimenting you, you shameless boy?” She shrieked, “No wonder the two of you can go together. Both of you are shameless!”
Before Tang Hao could open her mouth, Qin Xiangyi smirked. “You’re still the same, Yan Lili. Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth. That’s probably all the class you have.”
“You…” Yan Lili choked. She wanted to retort but could not find the words.
Qin Xiangyi smiled in triumphant glee.
She was no pushover when it came to arguing. One would need to be prepared to be flayed if they decided to argue with her.
Yan Lili’s face turned red when she noticed Qin Xiangyi’s expression. She was about to explode.
“How dare you insult me, Qin woman!” She said viciously.
“I’m not insulting you, I’m describing you. You really don’t have much class, or any at all,”Qin Xiangyi said calmly.
“You…!”
Yan Lili jumped up and down in anger. Her breathing got heavier and her expression became scary.
“Don’t be angry, Baby. You don’t look good when you’re angry!” He Zhengyu tried to comfort her.
When she heard that, her anger immediately disappeared.
“Oh, so he’s the ‘perfect husband’ that you were talking about?” Qin Xiangyi said sarcastically as she shifted her gaze to look at He Zhengyu.
Yan Lili immediately found something to latch onto. “That’s right. He is… my honey. Isn’t he a hundred times, no, a thousand times better than that boy toy of yours?” She seemed incredibly smug as she said that.
After speaking, she looked at Qin Xiangyi with a mocking gaze.
Chapter 380 - This Is My Name Card
The two women’s gazes were as sharp as swords. One could almost see sparks flying between them.
The enmity between the two women was palpable.
Tang Hao was discreetly shocked. He had not seen Qin Xiangyi behave like that, though her classmates did not seem surprised at all.
The two women had been rivals ever since they were university freshmen.
They were both beautiful women from wealthy families, which was natural for them to be prideful. Especially Yan Lili, who had been spoiled since she was a child and therefore had a nasty temper.
She was incredibly envious of the beauty queen who came from a slightly worse off family but was prettier than her.
She had frequently made fun of Qin Xiangyi behind her back, and they had often butted heads with each other. Yan Lili considered herself superior because she was from the River Delta City, while Qin Xiangyi was from the small and remote Westridge District.
Their current tiff was nothing compared to what happened before.
However, they were quite eager to watch the drama unfold.
The gathering was supposed to be the event for Yan Lili to show off her husband. If the beauty queen had come alone, then Yan Lili would have gotten her moral victory and that would be it.
However, not only the beauty queen came, but she also brought her boyfriend with her. That was where the problem lied.
Furthermore, the beauty queen’s boyfriend was a young and handsome boy toy. Yan Lili was h
er biggest rival, and she was not going to let the opportunity slide.
Meanwhile, they also did not understand.
The beauty queen had said that she was not coming. However, she suddenly appeared at the event, and not only that, but she brought her boyfriend too. Did she think that her boyfriend was better than Yan Lili’s husband?
That was a total joke!
The kid indeed looked somewhat handsome, but he was nothing compared to that He guy, much less all the other aspects. Qin Xiangyi would be utterly humiliated!
‘Sigh! She must be muddled to do that!’
Some of the people glanced at Tang Hao and shook their heads condescendingly. Especially the men, who did not have any positive opinions of Tang Hao at all.
They turned their gaze to the magnificently dressed beauty queen. There was no adjective to describe her other than ‘breathtaking’. Their jealousy burned in their hearts.
Yan Lili glanced at Tang Hao and became more amused than ever.
She cackled and spoke sharply, “I say, Xiangyi, where did you find this kid? He looks not bad, but he’s nothing compared to my honey.
“Looks at how handsome my honey is! Look at his body too, those are eight-pack abs!” She boasted while touching He Zhengyu’s stomach.
Then, she looked at Qin Xiangyi provocatively.
“It’s just not about his face, too. He has many positive qualities. My honey is a graduate of a prestigious overseas university. He is very intelligent, and he speaks eight languages fluently. He is very good at sports too, he’s a champion at horse-riding, swimming, basketball, and any other sport that you can name.
“So what does your little boy toy know?
“Also, men should at least be faithful and responsible, right? My honey is very faithful to me, and he’s the best man in the world. He only loves me and me alone.”
Her voice was so cloying that one could drown in it.
Qin Xiangyi pressed her lips, trying hard not to throw up.
She could not tolerate the way Yan Lili bragged.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. ‘Is this woman crazy? There’s no such thing as a perfect man in this world,’ he thought.
He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined He Zhengyu.
After looking at him from head to toe, a curious smile appeared on Tang Hao’s face.
‘Faithful and responsible? What nonsense! That guy’s face is pale and sickly. Those are the obvious signs of weak kidneys, which meant that he indulged in too much wine and sex.
Moreover, that condition was not achievable in the short term.
Yan Lili was even more arrogant when she saw that Qin Xiangyi said nothing. She turned to look at Tang Hao and shrieked, “Oh my, his entire get-up should have cost you a lot of money, right? I’ve heard that you only earn a few million yuan every year. You must have spent so much to primp him up!
“You have to be careful, Xiangyi. Men who rely on women for money are the worst. He doesn’t truly love you. He’s only interested in you for your looks or your money.
“One day, he’ll tire of you and your money, and he’ll just dump you! You won’t even have enough tears to cry when that happens.”
Her voice was dripping with mockery and disdain.
“That’s right, Xiangyi, you shouldn’t put your trust in boy toys like him! A man needs to have more than just looks.”
“That’s true! Dump him already!”
The men also tried to persuade her. They started boasting about their own achievements, as though they were all suddenly successful.
Qin Xiangyi could not take it anymore. “That’s enough!” She shouted.
Everyone around her fell silent at that instant.
“What boy toy? Are you all blind? Don’t think that he’s a boy toy just because he’s young and handsome. My Lil Tang is many, many times better than any of you here.
“And you too, Lili, don’t be too smug. No one here cares about your stupid husband. Let me tell you, he’s not even worth my Lil Tang’s farts,” Qin Xiangyi chided indignantly.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they heard that.
All the men looked angry.
“We’re trying to talk some sense into you here, Xiangyi, and you’re blaming us? Let me ask you then, what is he other than a boy toy? He should still be a student, right? How capable can he be?
“I wonder if he’s from some third-rate college too!”
Yan Lil continued to shriek, “You’re the only one who’s blind, Qin woman! How dare you compare your little boy toy with my honey? What a joke!
“My honey is well-educated, intelligent, and also capable! He’s a manager for a renowned multinational corporation. He earns almost one million yuan a year!”
The women standing around Yan Lili also laughed.
“This Qin woman is regressing as she becomes older. She picked up a piece of trash but thinks that he is a treasure!”
They displayed expressions of disdain as they talked.
“Ahem!” Tang Hao coughed lightly. He could not remain silent anymore.
“Why the hell are you coughing? There’s no place for you to talk here, you filthy kid!” Wang Jiadong, the class representative, glared at Tang Hao and spoke angrily.
He was extremely unhappy that the goddess in his eyes had fallen into the hands of a useless boy toy.
Tang Hao glanced at him coldly and smiled. “I’m sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tang Hao. Here’s my name card.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
Then, they burst out laughing loudly.
“Haha, this kid is hilarious! He even has a name card too. Does he think that he’s anyone important?”
“I’d like to see what’s on his name card!”
Everyone took Tang Hao’s name card while sneering.
“Oh, so many titles! Haha, all presidents! Let me count, one, two, three, four, he’s the president of four companies!”
“Haha, I’ve never seen anyone so shameless! A president of four companies? He’s such a liar!”
“Let me see what companies he’s made up. Haotian Health Products Development Co. Ltd.? Hmm, I think I’ve heard of that before! Masculine Wind? Wait a second, isn’t that the company that sells the aphrodisiac?”
The laughter stopped, and what replaced it were exclamations of surprise.
Chapter 381 - It’s All Tang Hao
“I know Haotian Co. Ltd., they’re the ones who produce Bizhi weight-loss tea and Bingji beauty cream. I’ve used them before.”
“I’ve used them before too. They’re all from Haotian Co. Ltd.”
“New Magical Kitchen? Isn’t that the extremely popular restaurant? I’ve heard of Divine Liquor too…”
Everyone exclaimed in surprise as they looked at the name card in their hands.
The four companies on the name card were popular and not made-up.
When they came to their senses, they started laughing.
The four companies were rising stars in each of their domains, and their growth showed no signs of stopping. How could their directors be such a young kid?
Furthermore, two of the four companies marketed healthcare products, one was a liquor company, and another was a restaurant. They did not seem to have any relation with each other.
“That kid is quite silly. Maybe he went online and found the names of four companies and printed them all on the name card.”
“Did he think that we all are idiots? Won’t he be afraid that someone might expose his lies?”
“This kid must have something wrong with his brain! Only an idiot would believe him!”
Wang Jiadong chuckled and tore the name card in his hand into pieces.
“I think he must be a pathological liar!” Yan Lili mocked. She tossed the name card on the floor and stomped on it with her high heels.
Then, she spoke disdainfully, “Xiangyi, I didn’t expect that you found a pathological liar as a boyfriend. How vain for him to pretend as a company pres
ident!”
Qin Xiangyi smirked. “You don’t believe me? You can verify that information for yourself!”
“I’ll do just that!” Yan Lili chuckled and took out her phone.
The other people also took out their phones to check on the Internet.
The four companies have official websites. It was too easy to verify the information.
Shortly after, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
“How could this be? The president of Masculine Wind Co. Ltd. is indeed called Tang Hao. There’s no photo on the website though!”
“Oh, it says here too that the president of Haotian Co. Ltd. is Tang Hao!”
“What? Also Tang Hao? Over here too, the president of New Magical Kitchen is also Tang Hao!”
“That’s impossible! Why is it all Tang Hao? Look here, the president of Divine Liquor Company is also Tang Hao! Just who is this Tang Hao? He’s so amazing!”
The people there heard about the four companies before, and some of them even used their products. Most of the females there had experienced the amazing effects of the weight-loss tea and the beauty cream.
As for the males, they used the aphrodisiac before, some more frequent than the others.
Masculine Wind Aphrodisiac was considered an essential medicine among males. It was vital to stock it in the bedroom.
Some of them even said that a potent medicine like that must be a miracle. The person who developed the medicine must be someone extraordinary.
The men had worshiped the extraordinary person. They did not expect that the person also invented magical cuisine and divine liquor.
“This kid’s name is Tang Hao too. Don’t tell me that it’s all him?”
Someone’s comment stood out amid the discussion.
The hall fell into silence immediately.
