Chapter 217: Chapter 217: A Thorough Failure

That very night, at the Han Family old residence.

"What did you say? Chen Xuan knows the Old God of Wealth and even attended the rooftop party at Lake Hotel? You must be joking!"

Upon hearing Han Yaru recount the events of the evening, Han Chengye simply couldn’t believe it.

But Han Yaru was adamant, "I saw it with my own eyes, there’s absolutely no falsehood!"

She had originally planned to go to the hotel to book a room with Chang Yong that night, but because of Chen Xuan, Chang Yong lost all interest in her, and left the party early. Han Yaru’s plan to ingratiate herself had thus come to naught.

Han Chengye was deeply shaken.

"How is that possible! How could someone like the Old God of Wealth favour a minor character like Chen Xuan!"

Han Yaru’s expression turned serious, "I heard it has something to do with Chen Xuan curing the leg disease of the Old God of Wealth, which is why he has gained his favour."

"Curing illnesses again! Since when did this Chen Xuan have such impressive skills!"

Previously, he had rescued Madam Han from the brink of death, and now he had cured the Old God of Wealth.

Chen Xuan, who once had nothing to his name, suddenly possessed such formidable medical skills, truly baffling Han Chengye.

Han Yaru sneered, "So he knows a bit of medical knowledge, what’s so impressive about that! No matter how skilled, he’s just a doctor, still not in the same league as us. However..."

As Han Yaru thought of something, "With Chen Xuan’s widening connections, it will have some impact when you take over as the Han Family Patriarch in the future. After all, do not forget that before grandma’s near-death, she intended to pass on the position of Family Head to that wretch, Han Jingting!"

"Previously, since Han Jingting was a woman and Chen Xuan was a useless good-for-nothing, grandmother considered you."

"But in the future, if Chen Xuan’s abilities become more prominent, having this couple competing with you, it’s possible that grandmother might have second thoughts, so you need to act fast..."

The reminder from Han Yaru sent chills down Han Chengye’s spine.

The rise of Chen Xuan indeed made him feel a sense of crisis.

In recent times, Han Chengye had purposely stayed at the old residence of the Han Family, tending to Madam Han day and night, all to play the part of a filial grandson in her eyes, hoping she would draft a will and hand over Han Corporation for him to inherit.

Unfortunately, although Madam Han always praised Han Chengye for being filial and sensible, whenever the topic of the will came up, she would always change the subject and deliberately avoid it, which was very frustrating for Han Chengye!

However, the reminder from Han Yaru this evening made Han Chengye feel an unprecedented urgency!

"You’re right, I really need to take action..."

Han Chengye stared into the cauldron of boiling herbal medicine in front of him, his gaze dark and menacing.

The next day, Chen Xuan drove to Lin Cheng’s rental house early in the morning.

The events at last night’s party had only increased Chen Xuan’s sympathy for Lin Cheng, his good friend, and he also felt somewhat guilty.

Now that he was a billionaire with extensive connections in Huai City, it was distressing to let his good friend suffer such humiliation.

So, after returning from the rooftop party last night, Chen Xuan had called Xue Qin, hoping she could find a position at Yaowang Corporation for Lin Cheng, considering his education and experience.

Early this morning, Chen Xuan had received a response from Xue Qin saying that everything was arranged, so he decided to go in person to deliver the good news to Lin Cheng!

Meanwhile, in a village within the third ring of Huai City.

The entire rental house looked very dilapidated, with a narrow alleyway outside. The rental’s windows and doors were old and broken, and sewage flowed in front of the door.

Everywhere there was an air of decay, as well as the struggles of those at the bottom rung of the social ladder.

This is where Lin Cheng lived.

Ever since he started working, he had been living here for five or six years!

At the moment, in the cramped rental room, Lin Cheng was lying on an old wooden bed, passed out.

The incident at yesterday’s banquet had dealt Lin Cheng a tremendous blow.

His girlfriend had abandoned him, and even his close brother endured others’ humiliation because of him. Lin Cheng only felt that he was utterly and completely a loser! A "loser"!

At the banquet, Lin Cheng directly offered his resignation to Hao Deqiang.

Lin Cheng had worked diligently and put his all into the company, sacrificing several youthful years, but in Hao Deqiang’s eyes, he was treated no better than a grandson, not even considered a person!

Lin Cheng didn’t know where he should go after quitting his job; he just didn’t want to live like a dog anymore!

Last night, Lin Cheng had drunk himself into a stupor alone in the rental room, sleeping until the morning.

Just as Lin Cheng was deeply asleep,

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of violent kicks at the door echoed from outside.

"Lin Cheng! Open the door for me!"

Lin Cheng got up, groggily opened the door, only to find his girlfriend Yuan Yi standing there! Well, to be precise, his ex-girlfriend.

Seeing Yuan Yi, Lin Cheng was quite surprised, even a hint of joy surfaced on his face.

"Yuan Yi, how... why is it you?"

Although Lin Cheng had accepted the reality that Yuan Yi betrayed him and they had broken up, they had been in a relationship for several years after all, and those feelings weren’t something one could simply forget.

At this moment, Lin Cheng even thought, could it be that Yuan Yi couldn’t bear to leave him and was coming back to make up with him?

Unfortunately, the truth proved that Lin Cheng was thinking too much.

At this time, disdain filled Yuan Yi’s face as she mocked, "You wouldn’t think that I’m here to ask you to get back together, do you? Just drop that thought, I’m here to move my stuff! Move aside!"

Yuan Yi impatiently pushed Lin Cheng aside.

The movers from the moving company directly barged in.

Yet, no sooner had they entered the room than they all started to frown.

"Damn, is this even a place for humans to live? This is just too dirty!"

A middle-aged man standing beside Yuan Yi covered his nose, cursing with a look of disgust on his face.

This middle-aged man, close to forty, could not hide his hefty physique even with a clean suit, and the expensive watch on his wrist did little to enhance the taste of the nouveau riche that his greasy appearance conveyed.

Yuan Yi also felt ashamed of the middle-aged man’s disgust.

"I was just too naive back then, that’s why I fell for his trick and ended up living in a pigsty like this with him. Honey, you won’t hold this against me, right?

"Of course not! Don’t worry, after you’re with me, I guarantee I’ll spoil you with the best food and drink, and you’ll never have to live in a kennel like this again!"
