The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 228 - 226: Come with Me

Qin Hao sneered in his heart. In the center of the hall, Zhao Mengke had already walked up to Chen Yuanzhi.

Patriarch Chen watched Zhao Mengke stun the entire audience, feeling very satisfied with her as a daughter-in-law. He was beaming with joy and then raised his glass, speaking robustly to everyone present:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I sincerely thank you all for attending the engagement ceremony of my son, Yuan Zhi, and Miss Zhao Mengke today."

"Those present here today, are all old friends, partners, business associates of mine, and friends of my future in-law, Mr. Zhao."

"Everyone here knows my son Yuan Zhi well. He has relied greatly on the support of everyone present to achieve his modest success today..."

While Patriarch Chen was delivering his grandiose opening remarks, flatteringly engaging with the guests, Qin Hao had grown impatient and put down his wine glass, striding slowly from the back.

The closer it got to the center of the hall, the more crowded it became. People stood closely packed, one against another. Yet, as Qin Hao walked past, people inexplicably parted, making a path for him to reach the front.

Patriarch Chen continued his enthusiastic speech, Chen Yuanzhi stood at the center, his demeanor that of a favored young man, with a halo about him and a reserved, proud smile on his face.

Zhao Mengke appeared downcast, listening listlessly to the same insincere pleasantries she had heard since childhood, then turned her gaze to the crowd beside her.

Suddenly, a familiar smiling face, with teasing eyes, was blatantly observing her.

Zhao Mengke’s heart skipped a beat, then her gaze focused on that familiar face, her heart inexplicably missing two beats.

She looked at Qin Hao, was momentarily stunned, then suddenly lifted the corners of her mouth, breaking into a bright smile. Her eyebrows and eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Before this, Zhao Mengke’s makeup and attire could only be described as beautiful. Even at its best, it was merely pleasing to the eye.

But now, Zhao Mengke was beautiful. Different from the dull and monotonous descriptions of pretty and good-looking. Beauty is alive, vibrant, and dynamic.

At this moment, Zhao Mengke was truly radiant, dazzlingly beautiful. That momentary smile, that instant of charm, made everyone watching this scene spellbound.

That saying, "You are the April of the human world," must be this.

The guests were captivated by that smile, and their change in expression immediately caught the eye of Patriarch Chen, who then saw Zhao Mengke smiling brilliantly.

Chen Yuanzhi also gazed at Zhao Mengke. Once the stunning sensation passed, jealousy welled up from his heart!

Because he followed her gaze and saw the person Zhao Mengke was smiling at was Qin Hao!

Qin Hao!

Why?

I’ve been endlessly kind to her these past few days, and she treated me with disdain.

And you, just by showing up, and she smiles so happily at you?

Why!

Chen Yuanzhi roared internally, about to explode, when Qin Hao’s calm voice sounded: "I object to this marriage."

After a moment of silence, the entire room erupted!

All eyes instantly focused on Qin Hao. Patriarch Chen’s expression darkened again, and he looked at Qin Hao, speaking coldly: "Qin Hao, don’t think that with Mr. Ye backing you, you can act recklessly!"

"Today’s engagement party concerns the Zhao family and my Chen family. If anyone should object, it’s certainly not your place as an outsider. If you keep being unreasonable, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Patriarch Chen spoke with great restraint. In fact, his heart was already blazing with anger. This Qin Hao had provoked him repeatedly, and because of the connection with Mr. Ye, he truly dared not make any rash moves.

If it had been anyone else, daring to offend the Chen family in this way, they would have been thrown out of the hall on the first floor by now.

However, Patriarch Chen also made up his mind. This was his last warning to Qin Hao. If Qin Hao made any more trouble, he would not be lenient!

Upon hearing Patriarch Chen’s words, Qin Hao’s face showed an amused smile, and he said, "Master Chen, don’t get so worked up. You’re right, I am indeed an outsider, but even as an outsider, this marriage offends my sense of decency!"

"Oh, then tell me, what makes you find it unbearable!"

Patriarch Chen’s eyes were cold, and as he spoke, he subtly gestured, immediately prompting some Chen family members to leave hurriedly, beginning to organize security for the engagement party.

"Isn’t it obvious? Just look at your son’s sorry state; how can he possibly deserve such a fine young lady? I just can’t bear to see such a good girl fall into a pit like this!" Qin Hao said with a hint of mockery.

As soon as he said this, the guests were in an uproar.

"This Qin Hao is truly arrogant, isn’t he!"

"Mr. Ye may be powerful, but does that mean the dog he keeps can just bark and bite anyone?"

"Master Chen, show no mercy, teach this insolent fool a harsh lesson today!"

Faced with various doubts and reproaches, Qin Hao remained unconcerned because Zhao Mengke was already watching him, her eyes forming smiling crescents.

"Hee hee, this guy is really just like usual."

"Come home with me. It’s much better staying at my place, and I won’t even charge you rent."

Qin Hao slowly walked over, standing in front of Zhao Mengke, looking at her, then smiling as he reached out his hand.

Zhao Mengke nodded vigorously, then joyfully took two quick steps, eagerly grabbing Qin Hao’s hand and standing by his side.

"You scared me, you big jerk, why did you only show up now?"

Zhao Mengke came to Qin Hao’s side, playfully stuck out her tongue, then whispered.

Qin Hao affectionately tapped her nose, then said to her, "Wait here obediently for just a moment, I’ll sort out a little trouble, and then I’ll take you home."

At this moment, Lin Yuhan also walked over, and Zhao Mengke jumped into Lin Yuhan’s arms, acting coy and playful.

This scene was fully taken in by Chen Yuanzhi and Patriarch Chen, their faces immediately turning disgruntled, especially seeing Qin Hao and Zhao Mengke so intimately close! It was as if their entire family had been publicly shamed!!

At this moment, Chen Yuanzhi could not hold back any longer, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, his face as gloomy as water, he was trying hard to control himself, but inside, he was full of grievances!

This is my engagement party, this is my fiancée!!

He roared in his heart! At this moment, he felt what humiliation really was! He never imagined that Qin Hao would dare to be so audacious as to cause trouble here! Is he really planning to make enemies with his entire Chen family? Does he have a death wish?

Zhao Mengke’s parents quickly walked over at this moment, whispering to Zhao Mengke:"Xiaomeng, how can you be so unruly? How many times have I told you not to associate with that Qin fellow! Though he is not bad, how could he possibly compare to Chen Yuanzhi? Tell me, in what way can he measure up?"
