Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1176 True Proof (52)

Xie Haichao returned home grumbling and swearing.

Although he saved a few hundred thousand at the party tonight, compared to the embarrassment he faced, Young Master Xie felt he really lost big this time.

Yet, what made Xie Haichao even more irritated wasn’t Wang Chen, but Gu Zhiyong, whom he always considered a brother.

Xie Haichao had made up his mind that from now on, though he would still regard Gu Zhiyong as a friend, he would never again care for him as he had before, nor would he ever speak well of him in front of girls.

What a thing!

Thinking about this, the elevator in the villa, rising from the underground garage, opened automatically.

As he took a few steps out, intending to grab a drink from the fridge in the kitchen, he caught a glimpse of the scene in the large living room and immediately felt an overwhelming urge to turn around and run away.

There, sitting on the sofa in the living room, was a charmingly elegant woman, along with his own sister!

"Young Master Xie, you’re back so early?"

The beautiful woman curled her lips into a faintly smiling expression and asked, "Had fun tonight?"

"Mom, Yaoyao..."

Xie Haichao walked over with a forced smile, saying, "So late and still not asleep? Staying up is bad for the skin."

Chang Qian snorted coldly, "You’re out partying every day and night, yet your skin doesn’t seem to be suffering."

Feeling awkward, Xie Haichao scratched his head and suddenly remembered something important: "Mom, both of my credit cards are frozen. Do you know what’s going on?"

He had embarrassed himself greatly tonight, but those two cards were given to him by Chang Qian, and he had no way of checking them himself.

He could only ask the one responsible.

Chang Qian sternly said, "I called the bank to freeze them."

"What?"

Xie Haichao was utterly shocked: "Why? I’m your most beloved son!"

"I don’t have such a prodigal son!"

Chang Qian sneered, "Spending 870,000 in one night, Young Master Xie sure is extravagant!"

"No, that’s wrong!"

Xie Haichao suddenly realized: "I didn’t pay for that. Could it be Wang Chen complaining?"

"How dare you say that!"

Before Chang Qian could respond, Xie Yunyao, sitting beside her, couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her brother: "Aren’t you aware of what you did?"

Xie Haichao felt immense grief but couldn’t express it at all.

He now fully understood.

It must have been Wang Chen complaining; he had secretly taken photos earlier and probably made several accusations afterward.

Making him face the situation of being criticized in the Third Hall.

"Xie Haichao!"

Chang Qian said expressionlessly, "You’re over twenty now. I’m giving you two choices: either obey the family’s arrangements and go on blind dates to get married, or start from the bottom in the company and learn business honestly."

"Choose!"

Xie Haichao didn’t want to choose either!

Like Gu Zhiyong, although he held a position in the family’s company, he rarely worked, living a carefree life.

Starting from the bottom was worse than dying!

An arranged marriage was even less appealing.

However, Chang Qian saw right through his thoughts: "You can choose neither, but don’t expect to get another cent from me. Go earn a living yourself!"

This businesswoman stood up and said to Xie Yunyao, "Yaoyao, let’s go upstairs to rest."

"Okay."

Xie Yunyao made a funny face at her dejected brother, then linked arms with Chang Qian and went upstairs together.

When Chang Qian reached the stairs, she suddenly turned to Xie Haichao and said, "Don’t provoke Wang Chen. If he’s willing to become a son-in-law of the Xie Family, I’d agree."

Xie Haichao was dumbfounded, and Xie Yunyao blushed with embarrassment!

For this brother and sister, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

As for Wang Chen, who returned to the hotel, he comfortably slept in, not waking up until ten the next day.

He then spent most of the day like a regular tourist, visiting famous landmarks of the Magic Capital such as The Bund, City God Temple, Yu Garden, Shikumen, and many more, even going on a river cruise in the evening.

He fully relaxed, enjoying the grandeur and human atmosphere of this megacity, experiencing things he hadn’t in his previous life, and tasting foods he hadn’t before.

Regardless of the cost.

In less than two days, Wang Chen realized several small wishes from his previous life.

On the third night in Huhai, he attended Xie Yunyao’s 17th birthday party as invited.

At sunset, a Mercedes came to the hotel to pick up Wang Chen, dressed in formal attire, heading to Xie Yunyao’s home.

Xie Yunyao lived in Haicheng Rong Mansion, one of the most expensive and well-known villa communities in the Magic Capital, where any single detached villa is priced in the billions, and the residents are all wealthy and prestigious.

Haicheng Rong Mansion is also a top real estate project developed by the Haicheng Group’s subsidiary real estate company!

By the time Wang Chen arrived, Xie Yunyao’s large villa was already splendidly decorated, with dazzling lights extending from the living room to the outdoor lawn, and the guests’ laughter could be heard from afar.

Guided by a service staff, Wang Chen entered this grand estate.

"Wang Chen!"

Xie Yunyao greeted him with a smile, accompanied by her best friend Zhang Wen.

"Happy Birthday."

Wang Chen smiled, "You look beautiful today."

Wang Chen didn’t mean to flatter at all, because tonight, Xie Yunyao not only dressed like a princess but also wore a natural makeup, enhancing her already high beauty.

Under the lights, she shone brightly, attracting the attention of all the young men present!

Wang Chen believed that the Xie Yunyao before him was her true self.

Xie Yunyao smiled bashfully, her pretty face blushing softly: "Thank you."

Beside her, Zhang Wen couldn’t help but ask, "Wang Chen, what birthday gift did you prepare for Yaoyao?"

Wang Chen calmly glanced at Zhang Wen, who shrank her head slightly out of guilt.

From his pocket, Wang Chen took out a wooden box and handed it to Xie Yunyao: "I carved this myself. I hope you like it."

"Thank you."

Xie Yunyao didn’t disdain the seemingly plain box, and upon opening it, she revealed a delighted smile: "What a cute little dog, it’s beautiful. Thank you!"

Inside the box was a cartoon dog jade pendant, pure white and flawless in material, intricately crafted.

What truly pleased Xie Yunyao was the aura the pendant exuded, making her feel extremely comfortable.

The girl even couldn’t wait to put it on.

At this moment, curious glances were directed towards them, clearly showing that many were intrigued by Wang Chen’s gift.

They did not understand why Xie Yunyao seemed so delighted.

Noticing this, Xie Yunyao immediately closed the lid and placed it into the bag Zhang Wen was holding.

Like a little girl who had just received her favorite toy!
