Chapter 1032: Another Daughter
by xennovel“Good evening, Mr. Xu.”
“Happy birthday, Mr. Xu.”
“Mr. Xu…”
Walking into the hotel everyone paused to greet Xu Shaochen.
Huo Xiao felt something was off. Wasn’t her godfather just a rich second-generation?
Why were all these people, regardless of age, calling him mister? “This… how is this possible!”
Chen Lei heard people greeting Xu Shaochen and was incredulous.
She never imagined the birthday boy was the wealthy man Huo Xiao relied on.
Her boyfriend was already sweating, feeling fortunate he hadn’t angered Xu Shaochen.
He hadn’t met Xu Shaochen, but his parents had told him how impressive he was.
“Stay away from Huo Xiao in the future.”
Chen Lei’s boyfriend spoke nervously, his voice dry from tension.
Chen Lei couldn’t accept Huo Xiao suddenly doing better than her, reluctantly nodding.
“Shaochen, you’re here. These two are…”
Xu Shaochen’s group of women, Liu Ruxue, Liu Ruxu, Du Ruyan, Zhao Qingyu, Mei Liangxinying, Tang Silin, Zhou Suxian, Li Qianya, Yuxiu, Jenny, Du Ruyan, Linda, Song Xinran, Xie Wei, surrounded him.
They glanced at Huo Xiao and Bai Ya, giving Xu Shaochen a questioning look.
Huo Xiao and Bai Ya were stunned by the group of goddess-like older sisters.
Huo Xiao felt self-conscious looking at her chest. Everyone was much older.
“Xiaoxiao, call them auntie.”
Xu Shaochen said to Huo Xiao.
“Auntie?!”
Huo Xiao and the women were simultaneously shocked.
Huo Xiao was amazed these women were all Xu Shaochen’s. Her godfather was more of a playboy than she thought.
The women were shocked, wondering when Xu Shaochen had such a big daughter.
“Cough, call them aunt is fine. Let me introduce you: this is Aunt Du, this is Aunt Mei…”
Xu Shaochen coughed twice, introducing each to Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao, gritting her teeth with the urge to kill Xu Shaochen, smiled sweetly, greeting everyone.
This damn bastard, was he worthy of her mum’s sincerity?
Besides, it seemed her mom was a latecomer.
She glanced at others in the hotel, finding everyone unfazed.
As if Xu Shaochen having many women was normal.
She was speechless. Was this moral decay? Nobody condemned him. Everyone seemed to accept it.
Xu Shaochen explained Huo Xiao’s situation to them.
The women thought the same thing: beast.
Not even sparing mothers of grown daughters, he sure was indiscriminate.
But they were used to Xu Shaochen’s habit of collecting, it was second nature.
If Xu Shaochen lost interest in beauties, they’d worry something was wrong with him.
The birthday party started the moment protagonist Xu Shaochen arrived.
“Thank you all for coming to my 25th birthday. I hope you enjoy the night.”
“Cheers! Let’s raise our glasses to Mr. Xu’s birthday. May this day come every year!”
In the crowd, someone shouted and soon everyone was offering blessings.
The scene was spectacular.
Xu Shaochen left Huo Xiao with the women and went with Lin Hao, Lin Wei’s father, introducing him to others.
“Chairman Ye, you should know this is Chairman Lin, an old friend. Let’s all have a drink.”
Xu Shaochen introduced Lin Hao to Ye Ming. No detailed introductions were needed, just a signal.
The others would naturally understand and guess his meaning.
“Chairman Ye, it’s my first time here. Take care, please.”
Lin Hao quickly offered wine to Ye Ming. Of course, Ye Ming recognized the entertainment mogul of Jiangzhou.
“No problem. Mr. Xu’s friends are naturally mine. We should go fishing sometime.”
Ye Ming smiled, clinking glasses and finishing his drink.
He wondered how the Lin Family, lost for so long, suddenly connected with Xu Shaochen. He couldn’t guess Lin Wei willingly became a cuckold for this chance.
With Xu Shaochen’s introduction and Lin Hao’s humble attitude, he’d soon join Jiangzhou’s local circle.
“Northwest Deng Family offers birthday wishes with a pair of fine luminous pearls.”
A loud shout drew everyone’s attention.
Deng Tianwen, with Hou Xiaoyan, walked in cheerfully: “Old Xu, I’m not late, am I?”
“A bit later and you’d be eating tables.”
Xu Shaochen laughed and hugged him.
“Island’s Lin Family congratulate Mr. Xu on his 25th birthday, presenting a genuine Wang Xizhi calligraphy.”
Deng Tianwen had barely entered when another voice was heard.
The charming Lin Wanxue entered with a smile. She had an affair with Xu Shaochen, more than just one.
She walked close, whispering in his ear: “After you left, I got pregnant. It’s a girl.”
Xu Shaochen trembled. He was about to have another daughter.
Seeing this, everyone knew their relationship.
A chorus of offering voices followed, like a symphony.
“Yunyang’s Ye Family wish Mr. Xu…”
“Macao’s Ma Family…”
“The Capital’s Li Family…”
“The Capital’s Chen Family…”
“Yunzhou’s Chen Family…”
“…”
Groups from everywhere continuously attended the birthday celebration.
Huo Xiao and Bai Ya, young among the bigwigs, shivered in a corner like huskies among wolves.
“Xiaoxiao, didn’t you say your godfather was just a rich kid?”
Bai Ya stammered, questioning if this was typical for a rich second-generation? Even foreign guests were here.
Huo Xiao was dazed, standing stiff, her mind blank. “I… I don’t know.”
She swore it was the first time knowing her godfather was this amazing.
She was possibly the only one seeing Xu Shaochen as just a normal rich kid.
Huo Xiao felt alarmed, wondering if she was too casual and insolent with him. Why hadn’t her mom told her all this, she was scared to death.
