Chapter 662: Chapter 664: The Disheveled and Regretful Hao Lu Duo

“What the hell is going on?!”

In the few dozen minutes since I left, what has happened?!

Damn it, why is everyone acting like they’ve swallowed gun powder?!

Those are the shared sentiments of Lu Ping and Hao Yongjun this very moment. For Lu Ping, it’s somewhat manageable; he’s just a bit lost with the situation at hand. He had exerted a great effort, securing a luxurious private room at the Imperial Lux nightclub, even went as far as to secretly arrange for the company fleet— all to whisk his high school classmates away from the Four Seasons Hotel.

His goal, to isolate Lin Fei in front of all his high school classmates and maintain his “President Hao” image. For this, Hao Yongjun had indeed made a hefty investment, splurging a serious amount of cash. He’d even specifically found a few advisors to help plot the subsequent scenes.

As long as his old classmates were willing to leave the Four Seasons Hotel temporarily for the Imperial Lux, it wouldn’t matter whether Lin Fei followed or not. He had methods to isolate, attack, and even completely ostracize Lin Fei from the high school circle.

Hao Yongjun’s invested efforts and financial sacrifices were indeed significant, and the plot he designed for what followed was seemingly flawless.

However, the classmates’ unmoved reactions, their disdainful ignorance, even their collective stepping back— all of this was undeniably beyond Hao Yongjun’s expectations.

Before coming, Hao Yongjun’s advisors had meticulously devised a perfect plan to isolate, ostracize, and strike at Lin Fei.

Even if only half, or even a third of the classmates followed him to the Imperial Lux, his subsequent plan could unfold perfectly.

But why the hell are you all avoiding me like the plague? What’s the meaning of this?!

At Hao Yongjun’s suggestion, Lu Ping, albeit reluctantly, approached a few old classmates whom he got along with quite well during high school and still had some interactions with.

Tentatively, he wanted to find out from them what exactly had happened!

However, after Lu Ping tried speaking to several people, none of them paid him any mind. Finally, it was a female high school classmate, who was relatively close to him, that couldn’t stand it anymore.

Well, the main reason was that Lu Ping had been hovering around her, obstructing her view of Mu Shanshan, whom she idolized.

Seeing that Lin Fei and the icy CEO Mu Shanshan didn’t seem to notice their side, and given that Lu Ping was incessantly circling around her and ruining her enjoyment of her idol, the classmate grabbed Lu Ping and whispered, “Do you know who Lin Fei’s wife is?”

“Who, don’t tell me he actually married Xia Youyou?! But that shouldn’t be right, should it? Xia Youyou visited us before, and I didn’t hear that she got married. Moreover, President Hao is quite interested in Xia Youyou. Lin Fei, even though he’s a vice director at Mu Group, surely he can’t be richer than President Hao.”

Originally, the high school female classmate intended to enlighten Lu Ping about Lin Fei and the icy CEO Mu Shanshan’s marital relationship, so that Lu Ping would take the hint and leave, not blocking her view of her idolized classmate, Lin Fei.

After Lu Ping spoke, the classmate stared blankly at him for two seconds, then impatiently waved him away, “Can’t be bothered to explain to you, just get lost.”

“Wait, wait, wait. After all, we were classmates once; at least tell me what happened. I’ll invite you out for a meal if it comes to that.”

“Forget it.” Seeing that Lu Ping was intent on pestering her, the high school female classmate, annoyed with him for obstructing her view of her idol, Lin Fei, glared at him and said impatiently, “I’ll tell you the truth. Lin Fei may not be as rich as your President Hao, but Lin Fei’s wife is absolutely richer than your so-called President Hao.”

“That’s impossible! Who is his wife, and how could she possibly be richer than President Hao?!”

“If you think your President Hao is richer than Zhonghai’s business goddess, the head of Mu Group, then I have nothing to say to you.”

As soon as her words died down, this Lin Fei’s high school female classmate, who disliked Lu Ping for hindering her chance to admire her idol, couldn’t be bothered with Lu Ping anymore. At the same time, she was also worried that Lin Fei might misunderstand that she had some private interactions with Lu Ping. Without hesitation, she distanced herself from Lu Ping and edged closer to Lin Fei and the Iceberg CEO Mu Shanshan.

“What the hell is going on?!”

Hao Yongjun, who had been watching the conversation between Lu Ping and the high school female classmate, approached Lu Ping as soon as the classmate walked away.

“She, she said, Lin, Lin Fei’s wife is, is— Mr. Hao, let’s go.”

Lu Ping stuttered as if he had just remembered something. Without any hesitation, he dragged Hao Yongjun away from the rooftop pool of the Four Seasons Hotel.

“Damn it, Lu Ping, what are you doing?! What the hell is going on, who is Lin Fei’s wife, spit it out for God’s sake?!”

Hao Yongjun, having been dragged out of the rooftop pool of the Four Seasons Hotel by Lu Ping, struggled free as soon as they descended and berated Lu Ping.

“Mr. Hao, we, we should really go. Lin, Lin Fei’s wife, his wife is Mu Shanshan.”

“I don’t care who his wife is! As long as it’s not Youyou, I— Wait, who did you say his wife is?!”

“Mu, Mu Shanshan.”

“I damn well know it’s Mu Shanshan! I’m asking you, which Mu Shanshan?!”

“The one from the Mu Group.”

“Bullshit! If Lin Fei’s wife is Mu Shanshan, my wife is—” he roared halfway before thinking of the way all the high school classmates at the rooftop pool had avoided him, as well as the overly attentive manner of Liu Yu, the sultry Chairman’s personal secretary, towards Lin Fei previously in the luxury dining room.

Hao Yongjun found himself at a loss for words.

“It’s impossible, it can’t be. Lin, Lin Fei, that kind of guy, he’s already lucky enough to work at the Mu Group! How could he, how could he possibly marry a woman like Mu Shanshan?! Lu Ping, could it be that you heard it wrong?!”

The last sentence was obviously directed at Lu Ping. Lu Ping had heard it too, but with things being so muddled, he clearly had no way to respond accurately to Hao Yongjun.

Meanwhile, just then, Liu Yu, who had been ordered by the Iceberg CEO Mu Shanshan to temporarily leave the rooftop pool, privately contacted Su Qinglan, the alluring Chairman, and received instructions to indirectly investigate why Mu Shanshan, the Iceberg CEO, had come to Lin Fei’s class reunion.

Liu Yu alone returned, intending to go to the rooftop pool to carry out the alluring Chairman Su Qinglan’s instructions.

It just so happened that she ran into Hao Yongjun and Lu Ping.

“Mr. Hao, what are you guys doing here?” Not aware of the relationship between Lin Fei, Hao Yongjun, and Lu Ping, Liu Yu, due to their status as classmates of Lin Fei, purposely stopped to greet them.

“Liu, Ms. Liu. You’ve come at the right time. I, I wanted to ask you. Is Lin, Lin Fei’s wife, is she President Mu from the Mu Group?!”

“Since you all know already, I have to remind you that President Lin and President Mu have no plans to announce their marriage yet. If you don’t want to cause any trouble for yourselves, remember you must keep it a secret!”

With that casual response and warning to Hao Yongjun and Lu Ping, Liu Yu walked towards the rooftop pool of the Four Seasons Hotel.

Leaving only Hao Yongjun and Lu Ping, who were each lost in their own messy mixture of regret and confusion in the hallway…
