Chapter 221-230 (1/2)
Chapter 221: Terrifying!
From that moment onwards, everyone in the ballroom looked at Chen differently All their disdainful looks and suspicious had been replaced by respect and curiosity However, Yap still looked at Chen like an enemy
“H is the one who made everyone attend this charity dinner Without his presence, none of us will step foot in this stupid event!” Yap looked at Chen arrogantly and said
“Yap Liangchen! What do youto say that my dad is not qualified to attend this event?” Xiaoyao said angrily
“Hehe…If those “dirty” people from the underworld can co doesn’t even need to spend those years to “clean” himself!”
Yap shrugged and continued to say with a cold laugh, “Of course, I’ I just want to take this opportunity to tell so!”
“Are you trying to say that I’m not worthy?” Chen smiled calmly and asked
“Yes! That’s right! You are not worthy! There’s no other powerful figure will come here and support you!” Yap rolled his eyes at Chen
“Hehe…Don’t worry…You have plenty of opportunities to embarrass yourself later!” Chen was not affected by Yap’s co out loud
“Embarrass myself? With what?!”
Yap said angrily, “I have taken a look at your guest list! There are only s this event! I don’t see anyone powerful enough to call themselves the boss of Green Vine City!”
Chen continued to say caluest list! All these people are her connection You have not seen my connections yet”
“You? Hehe…Is that a joke? Are you saying that you have connections in Green Vine City? Hahaha…” Yap was laughing hysterically It was as if Chen had just told him a super hilarious joke
“Mr Chen! We are really sorry for being late!” A netic voice can be heard from the entrance
“Oh my God…How…Why are they here?”
All of a sudden, everyone was sounded really shocked Even Murong Tian and Murong Xiaoyao were shocked as well And, for Yap, he al at the entrance The one that stood at the most left was the most beautiful lady in Green Vine City! Her body and face were soant and gentle presence el fell frochen!
The man that spoke just noas the richest uy that stood next to hi man in this city; Wu Junfan! Then, the ! Everyone knew that Wu Faest faoes way back to history Plus, their wealth is definitely strong enough to make them one of the most powerful family in this city Initially, they were placed behind Lan Family and Wen Family
However, Wen Family had been wiped off from Green Vine City The mysterious disappearance of Wen Tiandou definitely played a part in the destruction of the entire faone into the hay There’s no one around to take care of the family Thus, Wu Faer at the second most powerful family in Green Vine City!
The presence of Lan Zhengguo and Wu Zhebang represented the econoht an extremely powerful impact to everyone’s hearts! But, the impact was not over yet! There was an old uo and Wu Zhebang His status and position spoke for itself when the two most powerful men in Green Vine City looked up to him He is the most influential politician in Green Vine City; Han Xianian! For the past twenty years, he is famous for his transparency! Everyone loves hiht to Green Vine City
He is the “cleanest” and most powerful person in Green Vine City All of a sudden, the whole place was drop dead silence Everyone had their attentions landed on Chen Not only he earned ed to invite Elder Han and two leaders of the most influential families to his charity dinner Chen’s connection in Green Vine City is just too da!
At the sa Tian was shaken by Chen’s powerful connection He was glad that he lowered himself down to rely on Chen It was a smart decision On the other hand, Yap was completely speechless All the words that he used to mock Chen earlier had turned into countless of slaps landed on his face All he wanted to do right now is to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it
“The uests are finally here! Everyone, please take a seat Don’t just stand there” Chen suests to take a seat Yap was left standing alone, euests But, Chen couldn’t care less about him It was a pretty aard situation for him
“Master! Mr Dai is here!”
A servant led a fashi+onableAn opportunity for him to overcome the aard situation is finally here!
“You can leave now!”
Yap waved his hand at the servant, smiled and said, “Mr Dai! I have heard a lot about you! Please come with me to the VIP table!”
“Eh? Isn’t that Daiyu?
“Daiyu? It’s really hier from the TV show!”
“The song that he sang; Wuking, is so famous that everyone in the country knows about it!”
“Not only are the lyrics good! His voice is pretty darn good as well! One the rare singers in our country!”
“Is he a special guest? It would be great if he can perfor or two later!”
“I’est fans!”
……
While everyone was talking about him, Yap already led him to the VIP table
“Let er; Daiyu! He is the special guest that I invited earlier to his charity dinner! Also, it considered one of the sive to Xiaoyao Charity Foundation!” Yap grinned and said sha for Chen to chase them out
However, the presence of Daiyu was a surprise to Chen
“Mr Dai, please take a seat”
Chen said, “I’ today But, I think I shouldn’t go on the stage to perforer is here!”
“It can’t be!”
Yap spoke before Daiyu said anything
Chapter 222: My Singing Is Really Not That Great!
“It will be really impolite if Mr Dai takes away your opportunity to perfore! After all, you are the president of this charity foundation! I will never allow this happen!” Yap said sarcastically
Daiyu didn’t say anything All he did was to s Yap to make decisions for him
“What do you mean by that?” Chen squinted and asked
“Mr Chen, you were planning to sing Wukong right? I think you should just go along with your plan!” Yap smiled
“That is not okay at all…The original singer; Mr Dai is here It will be a co in front of hiood I don’t want to embarrass myself!” Chen shook and said humbly
“Mr Chen, you are too hu You will definitely not e forward to your awesoreat favor
Actually, he was laughing Chen inside his heart, “I want you to eer the embarrassment the better!”
Xiaoyao started to get worried as well, “Xiaobei, you have spent tie it!”
Before the start of this charity dinner, Xiaoyao had reminded Chen about the performance She didn’t want Chen to embarrass hi the plan last ood idea The whole charity dinner will be ruined if Chen e Xiaoyao even started to regret asking Chen to perforht She had no one to blame but herself Also, she did e It’s too late to feel regret right now
“But…My voice is really not that great…I’h at me later…” Chen said shyly
Lan sh at you…You are not a professional singer, thus, it’s totally okay that your voice is not perfect”
Wu was really envious of Chen when he saw his Goddess acting gently towards Chen However, as a good friend of Chen, he supported Chen without any hesitation, “Xiaobei! Go for it! I believe you can definitely do it!”
“Haih…”
Chen heard, sighed, and said, “But, not only iswhen I go on stage I just need more time to prepare myself…”
Yap couldn’t hold hihed it out loud He wanted to see Chen eine all kind ofuncertain
The elders did not see anything going on behind the scenes They started to encourage Chen
“Xiaobei! Don’t overthink it! No one in this world kno to do everything when they are born to this world! E yourself is not as scary as you think! You will definitely grohen you are willing to try and learn! And, you just keep on practice to perfect it!” Lan Zhengguo smiled and said
“Don’t be afraid! A youngTian said in a deep voice
“That’s right! You will grohen you try soround if you refuse to step out your co said
“Indeed…I understand now But… I’uests here…” Chen was really nervous It was like he was preparing to go for a war
Yap looked at Chen condescendingly He was actually feeling happy secretly inside his heart He said, “Mr Chen, quit hesitating I will ask Daiyu to perfor after your performance So that, you will be able to find your weakness! Then, the audience will not feel disappointed as well
“But…” Chen tried to make himself look innocent
Cough!
Cough!
Han frowned and said seriously, “I don’t want to ruin the charity dinner but seeotten the the charity is the main focus here! Performance is secondary! Don’t defeat its purpose!”
“That right! Elder Han is right!”
Yap nodded his head, turn around, and said coldly, “Get on the stage if you are a real man! I will not force you if you are not a man! Don’t waste our time!”
“I et the lyrics But, I will not tolerate those who say that I’e!”
Chen raised his eyebrows and put on an evil smile secretly
At the saht, “I will definitely eth if you have the balls to go on the stage and perform! Hehehe…”
After that, the charity dinner went on as planned First, Chen was being invited to go onto the stage to give a speech The speech was prepared by Xiaoyao Thus, it was really encouraging Everyone clapped when Chen finished with his speech
Soon after that, the cerean

Everyone was shocked when they heard the song that Chen was going to sing
“What? A?”
“That Daiyu’s signature song! The original singer is here! He has balls!”
“Is he trying to catch our attention by fooling hie?!”
“Well, he is definitely going to eht and watch!”
…
Yap ser when he heard the couests
“Mr Dai, please sing the song one ! I want him to be embarrassed of himself!”
Yap whispered in Daiyu’s ears, “I will reward you abundantly if you perfore”
“Master Yap, don’t worry It’s as easy as pie to erinned However, he was completely stunned when Chen’s voice traveled to his ears
[The stars fell into the river and the road is long]
Chapter 223: When Drea!
[The smoke that rises up into the air reflects my lonely shadow]
[I’m just too nice! In the end, I have to experience pain and love]
[Everything is just an illusion Hatred is too hard to let go]
[I’e!]
[Ahost? Am I a monster?]
[Is there a de in my heart?]
[I call out to Buddha, but there’s no way for o back! I call someone my master but the person did not care about my life and death]
[This world is full of illusions! I can’t break the ties that I have to this reality!]
[Too hard to break]
[It’s useless for rifying skill?]
[I still feel insecure I’m still worried]
[I just want to drop everything and leave this place]
Chen’s voice had sonetic ele voice The voice uest in this ballrooed to present the story of a person with all kind of skills, but the person still loses its way Al like this before Thus, it wasn’t hard for them to drown in Chen’s performance
[I want to use this iron rod to dance all night long]
[I want to useskill to create chaos!]
[Step into the sky and do whatever I want!]
[No one can escape fros that they have done!]
[This hit from my iron rod will destroy you!]
Towards the end, Chen’s voice transfornetic voice turned into a passionate and aggressive voice The lyrics talked about the Monkey King who is so insane that he dared to destroy the buildings in heaven He even dared to defy the Buddha theles of those ould never give up and continue to fight for their path of success in the society These people will be successful, eventually Again,about them Especially those that sat in the VIP seats
nobody left, even after the song was finished The whole place was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping on the floor would be heard
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
Half a minute later, Elder Han started to clap his hands If one is observant enough, one can see that Elder Han was greatly touched
BOM!
Everyone started to cheer and clap their hands
“Oh ood that I cried in the end!”
“I have listened to a lot of different covers for this son! This is the best cover so far! It’s perfect!”
“This is not even a cover! Mr Chenperfectly! Mr Chen is the original singer of this song!”
“I want the recording for this song…I want it so badly!”
…
The people from the upper society started to lose their ers
“Thank you, everyone! Forgive reat!” Chen said calmly with the microphone in his hand
“What!!! This perforreat!”
“Mr Chen! You are being too damn humble!”
“Overly humble can result in pride!”
…
Everyone is really hype
“This kid! He is too unpredictable!”
Lan Zhengguo, Murong Tian and Wu Zhebang looked and each other and smiled at the VIP table
“That voice is just siood when you perfore just now”
Lan Mengchen and Xiaoyao were completely charmed by Chen Both them had rested their chins on their hands They just can’t stop staring at Chen
“Xiaobei, you are the best! Xiaobei, you are awesome! I’m so proud of you! Everyone, please don’t be jealous of et jealous over Chen All he did was to keep on clapping for Chen
“I thought alike this will never spark ht up ! Froest fans!” Elder Han smiled His face was full of excitehest appreciation from the most influential politician in Green Vine City
Chen was se He was not surprised that this will happen Everything was under his control The mastery of sounds allows him to manipulate the voice and used the best tone for each line of lyrics Also, the charm that increased tremendously recently had made people accept Chen easily These two factors were the reason for this hyped situation
Yap and Daiyu had their heads lowered down Those co were like invisible slaps that kept landing on their faces They would rather look for a tofu and kill the situation
Chen did not plan to show them any mercy He held the microphone in his hand and said happily, “Master Yap, I re that you want Daiyu to coht? This will allow e I will definitely be a good learner!”
“I…”
In the end, he did not e to squeeze any words from his mouth
“Mr Dai, please?” Chen asked ly
“Mr Chen…Youwith me…You control towards voice had reached the top of the uidance…” Daiyu was sh to admit that Chen’s voice is better than hiuests He will definitely es the sa
After that, Chen did not pester Daiyu anymore He turned around and asked Yap, “Master Yap, what do you think about my voice?”
“Great…Your voice is really great…” Yap frowned and said
“This sshole is solyrics and other shi+t! In the end, he just wanted to eruhting and kill Chen, the arrogant bastard!
“Haha! Thank you so much for your compliment! Please donate more later since you enjoy the show so much!” Chen said happily
“Donate…I will definitely donate more…” Yap almost vo eic is this?!
“Haha! Our Master Yap is so generous! You should be the first one to donate! Let everyone witness your irinned
“Alright…”
Yap’s face was completely twisted It was like Chen just destroyed his balls The first one that donates will becoain if he donates too little ifting Chen money to spend around! At thatthroughout his body
“Alright! It’s time to let you taste the best meal that you have ever had!”
Chen clapped his hands and Jing Fei started to order the servers to send out the dishes
Chapter 224: The Taste Of First Love!
After that, the servers brought in a dozen of well-designed dish trays The size of those dish trays was prettyto everybody Also, the food on the dish trays was covered by a semicircular dish cover Then, the servers placed a set of fork and knife in front of every single guest
“Eh? Does this mean that Xiaobai actually solved the food problem?”
Xiaoyao opened her eyes wide and said curiously, “Those dish trays and tableware are really beautiful I don’t think the food is going to be disappointing”
She lifted the cover while talking
“This…What the hell is this…?”
Nine of ten people in the ballroom had the same question when they lifted the cover They were stunned because there was only a quarter size of fruit on the dish tray Yes! You heard it right! A quarter!
This is just too day!
Also, the skin of the fruit was not peeled! The hairs on the fruit skin could be seen clearly!
Oh, God!
How can one have served this kind of food to their guests?
Everyone was left there, petrified
All these rich people here always have their fruit skin peeled by their servants before they put it in their mouth Some even had their servants cut their fruits in some kind of fancy pattern! They can’t believe the first dish of this charity dinner is a quarter size of fruit with skin on it!
However, they found out that they have e one indeed!
“I believe that everyone knows that the fruit in front of you is a peach Everyone must be curious why did I serve this quarter size of peach as the first dish, right?”
Chen held the microphone in his hand and continued to say happily, “This is not a dessert! This is not the first dish either! This is the only thing that I will serve you today!”
“What?!”
Everyone was beyond shocked when they heard the bad news
“Are you kiddingus to eat a quarter size of peach as out dinner?!”
“And, it’s a quarter size! Not a full-size peach!”
“Plus, the skin has not been peeled from the peach! How are we supposed to eat this shi+t?!”
“Mr Chen! This must be a joke!”
“We will not donate a single cent if you can’t satisfy our taste buds!”
…
The whole place turned chaotic pretty quickly All of them didn’t even care to look at the quarter-size of peach on their plates Those women that born with silver spoon started to cover theirto vomit There’s no way for them to eat the peach with skin!
Yap quickly grabbed hold to this golden opportunity to huround as hard as possible Then, he banged the table hard and pointed at Chen, “You! Chen! What the hell is this shi+t?! Are you treating us like soar? Is this how you treat us e take out our tiance!”
More and ative comments started to surface after Yap stood up and criticized Chen publicly One can see that Elder Han was not happy about it as well He did enjoy Chen’s singing just now but he was extremely uncomfortable with Chen’s poorlike this in his entire life
On the other hand, Murong Tian and Wu Zhebang were not angry at all They were actually puzzled by it
Wu Junfan frowned and co move! I feel embarrassed for you…”
“shi+t…shi+t…The charity dinner that I poured my heart in is coritted She was so worried that her eyes started to get teary
“Xiaoyao…Don’t worry…Xiaobei did not ruin this dinner…”
Lan smiled and consoled Xiaoyao Then, she lifted up her plate and walked onto the stage
“Eh? What is Mengchen trying to do?” Wu Junfan was puzzled
“She is going to becouo put on a mysterious smile
“A model?”
Everyone was shocked as well They had their attention landed on the stage
“Xiaobei Can you hold on to his plate for me?”
Lan smiled and handed over the plate to Chen
“It’s my pleasure to serve my Goddess”
Chen put on a bright smile and held the plate in front of Lan with both of his hands Then, she started to use the knife and fork to cut the peach gently This sile man in the ballroom And, ladies were envious of her but they just couldn’t hate her Finally, the sh her snohite teeth and landed on her soft pinkish tongue She took her sweet time to chew it passionately Lastly, she sed it slowly and gently
A happy and bright s sed to stun everyone in the ballroom Chen picked up the microphone and asked, “Next, I would like to ask my Goddess to describe the taste of this peach!”
“Erm…”
Lan bit her lips softly, smiled, and said, “That’s the taste of first love!”
“POM!”
Everyone was triggered by her comment
“Oh my God! That Lan Goddess is fae to melt the iciness of her?!”
“The taste of first love! It must be really sweet!”
“I must try this peach after Lan Goddess described it!”
“Even the Goddess ate it with the skin on! I shouldn’t co to eat first!”
…
Everyone lifted their forks and knives and started to work on their pieces of peach
“Goddess, it’s such a waste of talent if you don’t go and shoot some advertisements!” Chen lifted up his thumb to her and said
“Stop with your sweet talking! I want a bag of peach asto promote the peach! Deliver thely
“Haha! Sure thing!” Chen laughed
“Oh my God! This is so damn delicious!”
Han Xiannian, Murong Tian and Wu Zhebang were truly impressed by the taste of the peach
“da around in the clouds! I feel so good!” Xiaoyao supported her chin on both of her hands and put on a contented smile
“You guys are exaggerating! What the hell!”
Wu still acted like a gentleently and put it into his mouth
“Okay!!!!”
He opened his eyes wide the next second and said, “This is so yu down!”
On the other hand, Yap gulped
He asked, “Mr Dai…Can I have a small piece of it…?”
“No…” Daiyu quickly put the whole piece of peach into his mouth
“You…”
Yap could only look at the others’ satisfied faces He almost cried when he took a look at the plate that he had smashed on the floor
Chapter 225: Mysterious Uninvited Guests!
Everyone was drowned in the taste of the peach Most of the guests were eating it by s this peach, the guests took their oeet ti the peach However, the peach would still finish eventually All of them wanted more after the peach went into their stomach
“Now, I finally knohy Mr Chen only serve us a quarter size of peach tonight!”
“Why?”
“All the other dishes are garbage when it compares with this peach! Those expensive dishes are siless in front of this peach!”
“That’s right! You can give me all kinds of expensive dishes in this world and I will not exchange it with my peach!”
“All I want are more peaches, now!”
“Mr Chen! Can I have more, please? Just a little bit more!”
“Mr Chen! More, please…I beg you…”
……
All those people from the upper society looked co for more peaches Their status and identities in society didn’t even et to have more peaches!
“Everyone…Please be quiet!”
Chen held the microphone out and said, “This peach is an extremely rare species! I do not have any more with me!”
“I was right! This species of peach is super rare!”
“Mr Chen! Can you inform me when you have h prices!”
“I want to pre-order the next batch of peaches! Money is not a problem!”
“I want to order too! I can even pay you the deposit now!”
“I can pay the deposit as well! I will double the price that they are willing to pay!”
“Me…Me…Me…”
…
The topic changed all of a sudden All of them wanted to pre-order the next batch of peach
“Everyone…Don’t worry…I’ht here, in Green Vine City! I have chosen a suitable location for this h soht take some time” Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Elder Han purposely
Elder Han had worked as a politician for two decades He caught Chen’s hint immediately He already knew of the location that Chen was talking about just now It was the island that Chen had won by ga
The law enforcements had concluded that the deaths of those people in the colosseus that happened before that was investigated thoroughly as well Thus, Han knew everything that happened that day Those ere not in the loop will think that Chen was trying to advertise his peach!
Only those who are in the loop knew that Chen was trying to fight for recognition fro as Elder Han nods his head, Chen can take over that island officially Then, he will be able to plant those peaches on that island
“Erm…”
Elder Han thought for a while, sriculture in our country I think planting peach trees is a very good start! I can speed up all your paperwork through legal methods But, I hope you can hold on to your words No other illegal activities, other than planting peach trees on that island Do you understand me?”
“Yes! I understand! I can promise you that! I will not lay my hands on those dirty stuff!” Chen nodded and said
“That’s great! A young ! I can see that your future is glorious!” Elder Han nodded, and there was still a smile on his face Finally, that island is Chen’s property now! Fro about it
“Everyone! I think you can Elder Han just noill start planting the peach trees after a et to enjoy these scrurinned and said
“Great! We have so to look forward to!”
“I will buy in bulk once the peaches are harvested!”
“Mr Chen! Can I book your peach garden? I want to be able to eat until I die from it! Hahaha…”
…
Everyone was getting hyped up again They got really excited when the thought of having an unlimited supply of peaches crawled into their mind!
“Alright! Everyone! Please wipe your saliva off! We can enjoy more peaches in the future! Now, there’s a more serious matter that requires our attention! Donation time!”
Chen grinned and looked at the depressed Yap evilly
“Next! Let’s put our hands together to welcochen!”
Chen used an encouraging tone to say, “Clap harder and Mr Yap will donateht, everyone?”
“Yes!”
Everyone was cheering down there, and the sound of their clapping was getting louder and louder Yap’s state of ht now He had no choice but to walk into the trap that had been set by Chen! After all, he is one of the ritted and lifted up his heavy feet up to the stage Then, he took out a pen to write a nu after writing down a five ure
“Chen Xiaobei! I will not let this go! I will make you suffer in the future as well!” Yap lowered down his voice and said
“Hehe…I will be there to play along with your plan!”
Chen s still puzzlesthis to me? I don’t even know you that well”
“Because I like Xiaoyao! And, you are her boyfriend! This is why I want to make you suffer!” Yap said coldly
Blarrgghhh…
Chen al his reason After all, he was just pretending to be Xiaoyao’s boyfriend Now, Yap was starting to treat hied by it On second thought, this guy not a good guy! He will never allow him to hurt Xiaoyao
Chen did not plan to tell him about the fake relationshi+p between him and Xiaoyao He said in a deep voice, “Just do it then! Don’t bla your face!”
“Hhting with those who thought they are better thanone!” Yap said angrily and walked down the stage
After that, the donation went on smoothly
Murong Fa Tian had planned for his donation He was the donator with the highest donation on that night On the other hand, the Lan Family and Wu Family donated five uests was around ten million Finally, the donation period ended with forty million in total!
Just before the charity ended, two uests crashed the party!
