Cheng Hao's eldest nephew Cheng Tianlin is 28 years old this year, only two years younger than Cheng Hao.
When this eldest nephew was a child, the original owner liked him very much and always went to see him and play with him. Cheng Tianlin also always followed behind the original owner and chased after him.
But later, the original owner went to elementary school and he went to kindergarten, and gradually they became estranged. Later, when the original owner's mother passed away and she moved into Uncle Cheng's house, Cheng Tianlin even rejected the original owner.
Cheng Hao could also understand.
At that time, the original owner lived in someone else's house and stole the little attention that Uncle Cheng had for his grandson. It would be strange if Cheng Tianlin liked the original owner.
But the original owner was actually quite innocent. When Cheng Yanqi sent him to his brother, he also gave him living expenses and other things. The original owner must be unhappy about being treated with hostility for no reason.
And to be honest, Uncle Cheng's concern for the original owner was just to ask about her grades, and nothing else. Uncle Cheng always felt that taking care of children was a woman's job, and the original owner's life was actually taken care of by the servants.
Cheng Hao followed Cheng Tianlin outside and saw tall buildings lined up in the distance.
Hong Kong is now very prosperous, in no way inferior to big cities in the United States.
"Where does Uncle Jiu want to go?" Cheng Tianlin asked. There are many people in the Cheng family of Cheng Hao's generation, and Cheng Hao is the ninth child.
"Anywhere will do." Cheng Hao said. His understanding of Hong Kong came from the original owner's memory, but the Hong Kong in the original owner's memory was the Hong Kong of sixteen years ago, which was very different from the present.
"There's a party today, I'll take Uncle Jiu to have some fun." Cheng Tianlin said.
"Okay." Cheng Hao agreed.
Cheng Tianlin said: "I'll go drive."
Cheng Tianlin quickly drove over in a sports car.
Seeing the sports car, Cheng Hao was a little speechless.
The US is vast and sparsely populated, with those long, endless roads with few cars on them. Driving a sports car is quite fun, but in Hong Kong...
But young people like the coolness of sports cars.
Cheng Hao sat in the passenger seat.
"This car is a gift from my grandfather for my 28th birthday. How about it?" Cheng Tianlin said proudly.
Cheng Hao was very sincere: "Great."
Cheng Tianlin said, "You've never driven a car like this before, right?"
"It's true that it hasn't been opened." Cheng Hao said, and then he noticed that Cheng Tianlin was quite happy.
Are you happy because you think others are living a better life than you?
Cheng Hao thought it was quite funny.
Cheng Hao really treated Cheng Tianlin as his junior, so he didn't feel unhappy when he saw Cheng Tianlin showing off his car.
However, later on, while driving, Cheng Tianlin kept sounding superior, and Cheng Hao felt a little speechless.
He finally realized that Cheng Tianlin wanted to suppress him with words.
Children just like to compare... Cheng Hao satisfied him and praised him a few words.
Cheng Tianlin was even happier.
They finally stopped at a clubhouse halfway up the mountain.
Land is very expensive in Hong Kong, and clubs are quite small. Cheng Hao was a little disappointed when he saw this club.
When he was in the United States, he would occasionally go play golf with others, and the club was really, really big!
Cheng Tianlin was very proud: "Uncle Jiu, only members can enter this club. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter, but I have a gold card here, so I can take you in."
Cheng Hao said, "Thank you very much."
Here, Cheng Tianlin, as the eldest grandson of the Cheng family, is indeed quite prestigious. When he entered the door, he just relied on facial recognition to bring Cheng Hao in.
This club is used for gatherings. Although it is not big, it has many venues and many people are playing in it.
Cheng Tianlin said: "Today is Miss Zhou's birthday. She is holding a birthday party here. Uncle Jiu, let me take you there. Miss Zhou and I have a good relationship."
Cheng Hao asked, "Miss Zhou?"
Cheng Tianlin immediately revealed Miss Zhou's identity.
In Hong Kong, the Cheng family is a big family, but there are more than one big family. The Zhou family is on par with the Cheng family.
That would be fine, the Zhou family has never had many children.
The current head of the Zhou family, Mr. Zhou, is about the same age as Uncle Cheng. He has only one son and one daughter. His son has a few more children than him, but he also only has two sons and one daughter.
This Miss Zhou is named Zhou Lingrui. She is the only granddaughter of Mr. Zhou and is very favored in the Zhou family!
The Zhou family's business is similar to that of the Cheng family, but there are so many people in the Cheng family. After a division, even Cheng Yanqi will not have much left. But the Zhou family is different. Mr. Zhou's daughter died early, and everything in the Zhou family will be handed over to Zhou Lingrui's father!
It is well known that Zhou Lingrui's parents love their daughter, so much so that now that Miss Zhou has just reached adulthood and is only in her early twenties, she already has a lot of property such as company shares.
Zhou Lingrui is definitely one of the most valuable women in Hong Kong today, and is also the object of pursuit of many young men - if you marry Zhou Lingrui, you can work a hundred years less!
Cheng Tianlin is Uncle Cheng's only grandson. In the future, all of Uncle Cheng's things will pass into his hands, but even so, his wealth is probably not as good as Zhou Lingrui's.
Cheng Hao extracted this information from what Cheng Tianlin said. In addition, he also found that Cheng Tianlin seemed to be determined to get Zhou Lingrui.
Anyway, what Cheng Tianlin meant was that Zhou Lingrui liked him very much and admired him very much, and he would definitely become the Zhou family's son-in-law in the future.
Cheng Hao felt that this was still very possible.
Although Cheng Tianlin is a little childish, he is very handsome and comes from a good family.
Cheng Hao had no interest in the young people's love life and didn't pay attention to it. He just followed Cheng Tianlin in casually.
As a result, as soon as he entered, Cheng Hao saw a person he wanted to avoid as much as possible.
Cheng Hao has become quite famous in the United States in recent years. Many people like him, and even more people express their love to him. Almost every time he participates in a competition, there are women who come up to him and want to sleep with him, and there are even men who make all kinds of hints to him.
These people basically just wanted a quickie romance. Although their enthusiasm was a little overwhelming for him, it would be fine if he refused them. However... Cheng Hao had met a woman who was useless no matter how he refused her.
One night when he went out, he saw a black man dragging a young yellow girl. He went up and punched the black man, knocking him away, and then sent the girl back home.
The girl was also from Hong Kong. He felt quite friendly after chatting with her, so when she asked for his contact information, he gave her his home phone number.
As a result, after that, the girl started pursuing him!
This girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, initially treated him to a meal under the pretext of expressing her gratitude. At that time, he didn't realize that it was wrong and agreed. As a result, she treated him a second and third time. After he realized that it was wrong, she started to watch his various games, cheer him on, and even gave him roses.
Cheng Hao was made extremely embarrassed by her and rejected her in various ways, but it was no use. Even though he told her that he had someone he liked, the girl did not give up pursuing him.
During that time, the newspapers even reported the scandal between Cheng Hao and her, which made the good-tempered Lin Yuxun angry, so he had a few more bodyguards around him.
This girl's pursuit of him lasted for two whole years, until a year ago, when she suddenly disappeared. Cheng Hao also felt a sense of relief.
He was really afraid of this girl's pursuit. Sometimes when he went to a competition and stayed in a hotel, he would open the door and the door opposite would open, and then this girl would come out with a rose in her hand...
By the way, she also gave him brand-name bags, various accessories, and even wanted to give him a car, but of course he accepted none of them.
The security personnel in the residential complex where he and Lin Yuxun lived were indeed competent! This person didn't light candles and sing love songs downstairs in his house.
At that time, Cheng Hao wanted to tell the girl that he liked men, but homosexuality is not accepted all over the world now. If this matter was exposed, it would bring great trouble to him and Lin Yuxun, so he did not dare to do it.
But now, Cheng Hao saw her again.
That would be fine, but this girl is now surrounded by many people, with a small diamond crown on her head, looking very superior. If nothing unexpected happens... she should be Zhou Lingrui, the person Cheng Tianlin is pursuing.
Cheng Hao: “…”
Cheng Hao didn't even want to go in.
But Cheng Tianlin didn't notice anything. He pulled Cheng Hao and said, "Uncle Jiu, don't just stand there. Come in."
Cheng Tianlin and Cheng Hao were talking at the door, which made the people inside look over.
This was a very large and beautifully decorated box, and there were about half men and half women in it, all of them very young.
When they saw Cheng Tianlin, the men all greeted him with smiles. The women... some looked at Cheng Tianlin with smiles, while others looked at Cheng Hao. Even the girl in the middle with a small diamond crown on her head looked over.
Her eyes swept over Cheng Tianlin and then fixed on Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao suddenly felt a little regretful for not bringing a bodyguard with him.
No, he shouldn't need a bodyguard. This girl has been missing for over a year. I'm afraid she has given up pursuing him a long time ago.
After all, he is not a hot commodity that everyone likes.
"Tianlin, who is this?"
"Why did you bring a stranger here?"
"Tianlin, why are you coming to Lingrui's birthday party just now?"
…
Everyone present greeted Cheng Tianlin.
Cheng Tianlin said: "Let me introduce to you all, this is my ninth uncle Cheng Hao."
"Hey! Isn't this the famous American boxer Cheng?" Someone recognized Cheng Hao.
"Yes, my uncle used to be a boxer in the United States." Cheng Tianlin said, "Now that he's back, my grandfather asked me to bring him out to play."
"Your Uncle Nine? So he's from the Cheng family! Why did he become a boxer?"
"I didn't expect that you would bring your family out, Tianlin!"
"You have so many family members, I can't even keep track of them all!"
…
Those who had a good relationship with Cheng Tianlin among them said one after another.
There are so many people in the Cheng family that they have no idea who is who. They also know that Cheng Tianlin has a bad relationship with the people from the second and third houses, so they don't take Cheng Hao seriously.
However, although some people did not take Cheng Hao seriously, there were also a few girls who were already looking at Cheng Hao.
Although the Cheng family has many people, it is still the Cheng family!
Cheng Tianlin is the only grandson of Uncle Cheng, and they can’t marry him. If Cheng Hao is not married, they can still give it a try!
Not to mention that Cheng Hao is very handsome!
Cheng Hao's height is not an advantage in the United States, but it is still an advantage in Hong Kong at that time, not to mention that he has been exercising. Although he is heavy, his body fat percentage is very low, so he does not look fat at all.
Moreover, he is not bad looking, and the way he stands there makes people feel that he is reliable.
But while the girls thought so, the men didn't think much of Cheng Hao: "The Cheng family shouldn't be short of money, right? Why are you still boxing?"
"It doesn't necessarily mean they don't need money. After all, they have so many children, haha!"
"No matter how poor you are, you don't have to perform, right?"
…
As these people were talking, someone suddenly said, "Cheng Tianlin, your ninth uncle, I remember he is Mr. Cheng Liu's only son, right?"
The person who was speaking was Cheng Tianlin's classmate. He had studied with Cheng Tianlin since childhood and knew that Cheng Tianlin's ninth uncle was Cheng Jinhao, Cheng Yanqi's only son.
As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.
Cheng Tianlin said that Cheng Hao was his ninth uncle, so they thought that Cheng Hao was the son of the second or third branch of the Cheng family, most likely from the second branch, or even an illegitimate child. But... was this Cheng Yanqi's son?
Doesn’t Cheng Yanqi have no children?
No, Cheng Yanqi is not childless. He had one before, but it seems that the child disappeared later.
So, this is Cheng Yanqi’s missing child?
Who doesn't know that Cheng Yanqi is deeply devoted to his wife, refusing to remarry even after she died? Under such circumstances, he must be very good to his children. If this Cheng Hao is Cheng Yanqi's son...
Now the Cheng family is in the hands of Cheng Yanqi! Cheng Yanqi has also made a lot of money in China!
It is said that the money Cheng Yanqi has earned in the country over the years is almost exceeding that of the Cheng family!
A big part of the reason why they attached so much importance to Cheng Tianlin before was because Cheng Yanqi had no children and his property might fall into Cheng Tianlin's hands in the future, but now, Cheng Yanqi's son is back.
Now that he has his own son, will Cheng Yanqi still value his nephew Cheng Tianlin?
Compared with Cheng Hao, what is Cheng Tianlin?
Those people who had shown some disdain for Cheng Hao before now hated Cheng Tianlin - if Cheng Tianlin had told them earlier that this was Cheng Yanqi's son, they would never have spoken like that.
Is Cheng Tianlin deliberately harming them?
And those girls now look at Cheng Hao as if they are looking at a big gem!
Even if Cheng Hao didn't have that kind of wealth and was just a boxing champion, they wouldn't mind dating Cheng Hao. Now Cheng Hao is so rich...
For a moment, several girls were ready to make a move.
Cheng Tianlin noticed this, and the sense of superiority he had gained from Cheng Hao along the way disappeared, and his face turned dark.
Just at this time, many people came to greet Cheng Hao and asked him various questions.
Most of the people present were only in their early twenties, his juniors... Cheng Hao answered their questions with a smile.
"Don't surround my Uncle Jiu. He has been boxing abroad and doesn't know anything about this. Let me introduce it to him first," said Cheng Tianlin.
Only then did those people disperse.
Cheng Tianlin immediately introduced things to Cheng Hao... He described some things in the box in detail, and acted as if Cheng Hao had never seen them before.
He clearly regarded Cheng Hao as a bumpkin, or perhaps he just wanted to belittle Cheng Hao in front of his friends.
Cheng Hao... was quite helpless. Cheng Tianlin was only embarrassing himself by doing this.
"You can even go horse racing here. Uncle Jiu, have you ever ridden a horse?" Cheng Tianlin looked at Cheng Hao again and said, "I can take you horseback riding later."
Before Cheng Hao could say anything, a girl in a black dress said, "Cheng Tianlin, you are not good at riding a horse at all, and you still have the nerve to say that."
The girl confronted Cheng Tianlin and then looked at Cheng Hao: "Cheng Hao, why do you want to go boxing? Can you tell me about it?"
"I like boxing very much." Cheng Hao said with a smile.
When he first came in, Cheng Hao was actually a little worried, afraid that Zhou Lingrui would pursue him like before with his domineering attitude, but now he had been in for a while and Zhou Lingrui hadn't responded, so he relaxed.
However, he relaxed too soon.
Cheng Hao had just finished speaking when Zhou Lingrui suddenly slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table.
The sound of the wine glass "hitting" the table was so loud that it even made people worry that the tall wine glass would be broken.
Cheng Hao had a bad feeling.
Then, he heard Zhou Lingrui say, "Why are you talking so much?"
Zhou Lingrui was staring at Cheng Hao while speaking.
Everyone present knew that Zhou Lingrui had a bad temper. Seeing her like this, they all thought she was angry with Cheng Hao. Cheng Tianlin thought so too: "Lingrui, don't be angry. My uncle Jiu doesn't know anything. I just introduced a little bit... I will definitely accompany you alone later."
"Who wants you to accompany me?" Zhou Lingrui rolled his eyes.
Cheng Tianlin said: "Lingrui, don't be angry. It's my fault for not coming to your birthday party earlier... I prepared a surprise for you, I'll give it to you later."
When Cheng Tianlin was speaking, he acted as if he was very close to Zhou Lingrui. Seeing this, the people around him started to make a noise.
After Zhou Lingrui returned to China a year ago, Cheng Tianlin has been pursuing her very enthusiastically. Although Zhou Lingrui is very impatient with Cheng Tianlin, everyone thinks that she is just being petty towards the man she likes, and they all tacitly assume that they are a couple.
"Who cares about you coming to my birthday party? Who wants your surprise? Are you annoying?" Zhou Lingrui suddenly said.
The box suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Lingrui added: "Don't act like you and I have a good relationship. We are not familiar with each other!"
When Cheng Tianlin heard this, he was stunned, and the others present were also shocked.
Cheng Tianlin always said that he and Zhou Lingrui had a good relationship, but... Zhou Lingrui said they were not familiar with each other?
"Lingrui, I apologize to you..." Cheng Tianlin smiled gently, as if Zhou Lingrui was just throwing a tantrum.
"Why are you apologizing to me? Why don't you apologize to Cheng Hao?" Zhou Lingrui said, "How dare you look at Cheng Hao with that expression! Cheng Hao is much more capable than you! He can make millions of dollars a year, can you?"
Zhou Lingrui was definitely not just being grumpy, she clearly really disliked Cheng Tianlin!
So, what Cheng Tianlin hinted to others before, that he and Zhou Lingrui were boyfriend and girlfriend, were all fake, right?
Everyone's expression changed when they looked at Cheng Tianlin.
At this moment, Zhou Lingrui looked at Cheng Hao and asked expectantly, "Cheng Hao, do you want to ride a horse? I'll teach you!"
