After some conversation, Li Hao finally understood.

It turned out that the reason why Wu Chao wanted to treat them to a meal at the Sangera Creek Hotel tonight was entirely to hold a birthday party for his goddess.

Wu Chao’s goddess was called Jiang Qingqing. She was known to be the school belle of Jiangbei Normal University. Li Hao and Chen Tao had only heard about her from Wu Chao and had seen photos of her. They knew that Wu Chao was wooing her, but they had never seen her before.

“Then why are you calling us out now…?” Li Hao asked again.

“This guy doesn’t just throw birthday parties for her. He still wants to choose birthday presents for her,” said Chen Tao immediately.

Li Hao was speechless. It seemed that Wu Chao really liked him.

“Haozi, Brother Tao, what present do you think I should choose? I am going to confess to her tonight,” Wu Chao asked Li Hao again.

The two of them froze again at Wu Chao’s words. Then they looked at each other and saw the speechlessness in each other’s eyes.

“Brother Chao, so you two aren’t a couple yet?” Li Hao asked Wu Chao again.

“Although Qingqing hasn’t promised me yet, I feel that it will be soon. Perhaps it will be tonight.”

Wu Chao’s expression darkened when he heard Li Hao’s question, but he was still very optimistic.

“Brother Chao, you like her a lot. We know that. But does she like you?”

Li Hao could not help but ask Wu Chao again. Although this was Wu Chao’s own business, Li Hao did not want his brother to fall into a trap or be deceived by others.

“I… think so…”

Wu Chao was also uncertain.

Seeing Wu Chao like this, Li Hao could already guess that the other party might not agree, but he could not refuse his request.

Of course, this was only Li Hao’s guess. It seemed like he would know after seeing her in person tonight.

“By the way, Brother Chao, it’s her birthday. Is it appropriate for me and Brother Chao to go at night?” Li Hao asked again.

“What’s inappropriate about it? I’m the one treating tonight. Besides, it’ll be more lively if you guys go. Qingqing also plans to call her friends and best friends over…” said Wu Chao bluntly.

Speaking of dinner, he felt a little pained. He already paid 10,000 yuan of deposit. He had thrown in more than a decade’s worth of New Year’s money for just one dinner.

And this birthday gift could not be too cheap.

All in all, for the sake of his goddess, Wu Chao was going all out today.

“Then shouldn’t we also buy her a birthday gift?” said Li Hao again.

“Rat’s right. We’d better have a present.”

Chen Tao also spoke up. He felt that Li Hao was right. After all, it was a birthday party. It was better to give her a gift.

“But what should I give him? It definitely can’t be too expensive. Not to mention stealing Brother Chao’s limelight, I don’t have money either…”

“That’s for sure!”

Li Hao nodded.

“Um, you guys should help me choose first,” said Wu Chao.

“If it’s for girls, it’s nothing more than clothes, bags, watches, lipsticks, and so on. Of course, I think Brother Chao, why don’t you just give her a car? Maybe she’ll agree to you directly.”

Li Hao smiled.

Wu Chao was speechless at Li Hao’s words.

‘I’d love to, but I can’t afford it. I don’t even have a car yet.’

Buying a car was out of the question. Wu Chao did not have the financial resources.

Eventually, the three of them went around Shanggu Lane and chose their gifts. Wu Chao spent more than ten thousand dollars on an Armani bag.

As for Li Hao and Chen Tao, they simply ordered an 18-inch cake together.

Simple, direct, and cheap.

Li Hao did not mind, because they were not familiar with each other to begin with. At the moment, the other party was not Wu Chao’s girlfriend yet, so it was fine. In addition, in Wu Chao’s impression, Chen Tao and Li Hao’s financial situation was not too good.

After shopping, it was already past one in the afternoon. Wu Chao treated Li Hao and Chen Tao to a meal.

After dinner, the three of them had just walked out of the restaurant.

His gaze was drawn to a car parked at the curb by the entrance.

It was a Maybach.

The car was not the main thing. The main thing was that there was a beautiful woman half lying on the front of the Maybach. In front of her was another woman taking photos of her on her phone.

The two women were very good-looking. Upon a hundred points, they would score around ninety. Furthermore, they were exceptionally tall. Coupled with the fact that they were wearing wraparound dresses, they revealed a pair of long white legs that were filled with youth.

“F*ck, Haozi, Brother Chao, what a beauty!” Chen Tao could not help but said. The three of them immediately looked at the two women, especially the one lying half in the car. She had a voluptuous figure and a delicate appearance. She was filled with charm.

“I know this woman. She’s an internet celebrity. I think her name is Xiaoqian. I even follow her on TikTok,” said Wu Chao. Usually, he would check out pretty girls on TikTok.

This internet celebrity was indeed beautiful. Although the woman who took her photo was also good-looking, her figure and looks were inferior.

Not only did Li Hao and the other two look at this woman, but many passersby also looked at this internet celebrity with lecherous eyes.

However, at this moment, a dazzling red light suddenly lit up. Its light was even more dazzling than the sun in Li Hao’s eyes.

Haha, the exclamation mark appeared again.

Not on the two women, but on the head of a middle-aged man in a suit and a potbelly not far ahead. The middle-aged man walked straight to the side of the Maybach and stared straight at the two women. A lecherous smile appeared on his lips.

The man looked to be in his forties or fifties and looked like a pig.

However, the exclamation mark above his head was so eye-catching that it almost blinded Li Hao.

“The hint came again.”

Li Hao was excited, wondering what hint the system was going to give him.

[When you click on this exclamation point, you will receive a special notification. What are you waiting for?]

The system’s voice sounded in Li Hao’s mind.

…

Li Xiaoqian was sitting in the car and posing beautifully. Just as she was about to let her sister, Sun Yanni, take a photo, she saw a middle-aged greasy uncle in front of her. He was almost drooling. Li Xiaoqian immediately frowned.

Although the men around her were also like this, they were not as close as this uncle. Moreover, their naked eyes were undisguised and disgusting. Although she was an internet celebrity, she was also an innocent student.

At this moment, the uncle spoke, “Beauty, why are you sitting in my car? Why don’t you get in and I’ll take you two out to play?”

“Huh? Is this your car?”

The two of them were stunned.

The middle-aged man took out his car key and pressed it.

The headlights of the Maybach in front of him flashed twice and made a noise.

When the surrounding people saw this scene, a strange expression appeared on their faces. They did not expect that this internet celebrity, who was lying in someone’s car taking photos, would actually meet the owner of the car.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaoqian looked embarrassed and quickly jumped out of the car.

“Uh… I’m sorry, Uncle. We still have to go back to school.”

Li Xiaoqian said apologetically and rejected the middle-aged man’s invitation. After saying that, she pulled Sun Yanni and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man’s face darkened.

His name was Zhou Taisheng, and he was the CEO of a large company. His assets were in the hundreds of millions, and he had seen countless women. However, it was rare to see such a beautiful and tender female student. How could he let her go?

“Wait!” Zhou Taisheng shouted coldly.

“Are you ready to leave after scratching my car?”
