The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 121-125

[Chapter 121]

“Hey, Jordan, look! The pathetic guy you talked to is walking toward the Lamborghini!”

“Hehe! Lamborghini is a reputed brand. That pathetic jerk must be trying to gain some insight. He might even take some pictures and post them on social media to show how awesome it is. There are many people like that!”

The girls replied in contempt.

“Perhaps. There is nothing those sorts are incapable of doing!” smirked Jordan.

“By the way, Jordan, do you know who owns this car?”

“I really don’t know, but I can tell you a lot about the configuration and interior of this car. It a first-class design! Even a simple part is made through strict data calculations, all personally supervised by a master with decades of experience!” Jordan replied with a smile.

“Ahh? You’ve aroused our interest, Jordan. Care to explain more to us so that we can learn more about the car?” one of the girls asked, with a surprised look on her face.

They were saying this, not just because they wanted to learn more about the luxury car but to simply drag time.

Think about it. It was only nine in the morning, and even if they gave him a location and Jordan sent them there, it would only be a momentary encounter.

If they delayed him for a while, it would be lunchtime. Wouldn’t Jordan have to treat them to lunch then?

Wouldn’t that deepen their relationship?

The girls were really good at mind games.

Jordan did not overthink it, parking the car at the side before leading the group of girls to the luxury supercar.

He wasn’t jealous of the Lamborghini at all, knowing well enough that even if he worked like a bull for a lifetime, there was no way he would reach such a point.

At the same time, Gerald had also walked toward his Lamborghini.

“Erm, miss? Mind if you move aside?”

Gerald rubbed his nose as he stared helplessly at a long-haired girl, now boldly sitting on the hood of his Lamborghini.

“Why are you asking me to move to? Who are you? Get out of my way!” the long-haired beauty yelled at him.

This man wore new-ish clothes, and they looked pretty good on him. However, she had already seen many handsome heirs. Who did he think he was?

How dare he ask her to move?!

“Exactly! That’s right! Who are you? Just look at you. What right do you have to ask us to move away?”

“Hehe. I know that as girls, we are a little vain, and we enjoy taking selfies. Moreover, we get a little envious when we see luxury cars. I really didn’t expect a guy to be disgusting enough; he actually thinks of taking a selfie too!”

“Yeah! Stop embarrassing yourself!”

The girls surrounding the long-haired girl ganged up, throwing insults and jeers at Gerald.

Gerald was stunned by the arrogant and rude remarks.

Damn it. He only said one sentence, and he got attacked by so many people?

Jordan walked up to Gerald, sneering with his nose up high. “Brother Gerald, what could you be thinking? Why take a selfie? Would you like me to help you, eh?”

After that, he immediately turned his gaze to the hot chick sitting on the front hood.

“Beauty, you can sit on the car hood as long as you want to. The Lamborghini’s chassis is like no other supercar. It’s solid. It’ll definitely withstand your lightweight body!”

“Hahaha! Thank you, handsome! You talk pretty sweet, unlike some really disgusting dude! By the way, handsome, can you take a picture for me? Capture me with this car from afar!”

The long-haired beauty seemed to have an excellent impression of Jordan.

Of course, Jordan was more than willing to snap her a photo. After all, why did he even buy a Passat? Wasn’t it all for the ladies, anyway?

He nodded vigorously at the request.

“Say, Brother Gerald, can you stop blocking the shot?” Jordan shook his head as he reminded Gerald, who was standing beside the car.

“Damn it. Get lost!” the long-haired beauty yelled as she waved impatiently.

“Hehehe! I’m afraid you guys are the ones who should get lost!” Gerald replied coldly.

He initially had a very simple thought. He wanted the beautiful girl to move aside so that he could drive his car out. After that, she could take whatever picture she wanted to.

Instead, his generous gesture was replied with ridicule, even to the point of getting scolded by the hot chick.

It was especially true for Jordan, enigmatic from the moment he saw him. Did he just use Gerald as a comparison just so he could appear stinking rich and charming in front of the girls?

Was he using Gerald’s humility to prove how strong and capable he was?

Was he mocking to satisfy his own vanity?

Gerald felt that everything would be over for him if he continued keeping a low profile. Soon, everyone would be trampling all over him.

If that were to be the case, why continue keeping a low-profile then?

“Who are you asking to get lost? You actually dare raise your voice at me?”

[Chapter 122]

The long-haired beauty yelled in shock.

As soon as her violent temper flared up, she raised her hands, wanting to hit him.

Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, the Lamborghini’s four lights, which had been silent for over a month, flashed brightly.

Then, almost instantly, the engine came to life with a low rumble.

The doors unclicked and opened upwards.

The car seemed to be glowing extremely brightly, its body letting out a sheen under the bright sunlight.

It looked as though it had been waiting a long time for its owner to return.

Gerald put down the key in his hand.

After that, he slowly walked over to the car and went straight for the driver’s seat.

It was completely silent even though more than a dozen girls were standing nearby at this time.

The sudden silence felt as though the world had already planned it in advance. The whole area had become completely silent.

Everyone’s eyes were wide open as they witnessed the scene.

Jordan’s mouth and eyes opened up as large as they possibly could.

This… Gerald turned out to be the owner of this Lamborghini?

“Ahh!”

A loud, harsh scream broke the complete silence.

“It’s him! The owner of the car turned out to be him! Ahh!”

“Bro, you are one hot guy! What is your name, bro?”

“Can I have your number, bro?”

There were even some girls who dare act as though they had just met their biggest idol. They rushed directly in front of Gerald’s car.

A Lamborghini, worth two million six hundred thousand dollars. It was the absolute luxury beast everyone dreamt of!

The car alone had generated so much hype.

They had all been impatiently and eagerly waiting for this day to arrive. Now, the young owner of the car had finally appeared in front of them!

Gerald was in the car. Although the car was soundproofed well, he could still hear the screams of the girls outside.

In fact, he felt very good now.

He could finally drive his own car, but most importantly, he could finally hold his head up high.

“Di! ~Didi!”

Gerald wound down his car window.

He smiled at Jordan, now completely dumbfounded at the side, as he said, “Jordan, would you like to try driving this car?” he jeered.

Gerald returned the exact question to Jordan using the same manner.

Jordan could only gulp. He wouldn’t dare the slightest to drive this car.

His face had even turned a shade of green.

The person that he had been looking down on was actually filthy rich!

Not to mention how he even tried to make fun of him earlier.

He was no coward, and he simply didn’t want to fight back. Jordan was actually nothing more than a clown in front of Gerald.

His Passat was worth a mere forty-five thousand dollars. Gerald’s car, a whopping two million six hundred thousand. Damn it! That was enough for sixty Passats!

Worse was the fact that Jordan had no idea who or what he had just offended!

The three girls who initially got into Jordan’s car were speechless as well, not to mention the long- haired beauty who sat on the hood of Gerald’s car.

In short, everyone was shocked as they witness the unbelievable scene!

Gerald drove away amid the chaos.

This was the first time that Gerald showed off like this in public. Moreover, he only did it because he felt that it was already intolerable.

Gerald’s phone rang all of a sudden. It was Mila calling him.

He immediately connected the call.

“Gerald, where are you? Why aren’t you here yet? Hurry up and come over! Take a cab if you can’t make it on time. I am waiting for you in front of the entrance of the Royal Dragon Villa!”

“Okay, I will be there soon,” replied Gerald.

Before he hung up the phone, Gerald seemed to hear Mila nervously saying: “I’m finished! I accidentally said the wrong thing!”

It also seemed as though a girl was standing next to her, asking what sounded like: “Mila, isn’t Gerald, your boyfriend? Isn’t he like very rich or something? Why is he taking a cab?”

[Chapter 123]

Gerald did not think too much after hearing the voice on the other end of the line.

He simply sped up as he rushed over to the Royal Dragon Villa.

This was a villa that was similar to Mountain Wayfair Entertainment.

There was integrated entertainment and catering in it.

However, when it came to the facilities, this place could not be compared to the Mountain Wayfair Entertainment at all.

Of course, despite this, this was still the best place for second and third-tier family gatherings.

Mila’s grandmother’s birthday banquet would be held here today.

After arriving, Gerald drove his car to the parking lot at the side.

“Okay…okay, okay, okay…okay, done!”

The security guard was an uncle who was in his fifties and he seemed to be stuttering.

Under his command, Gerald would have definitely driven into the ditch if it was not because of the automatic parking system in his own Lamborghini.

Gerald could only smile helplessly.

He raised his hand before he gave the uncle fifteen dollars.

He wanted to treat him to a pack of cigarettes so that he could smoke it.

“Thank, thank, thank….thank you!”

An excited but slow thank you followed behind him.

At the same time.

At the entrance of the villa.

“Oh my god. Mila! It is almost eleven o’clock now. Why hasn’t your boyfriend, Gerald showed up yet?”

A young woman stood beside Mila.

She seemed about twenty four years old. She was wearing glasses and gave off a cold, arrogant vibe. But of course, she was undoubtedly, strikingly beautiful.

“Second cousin, don’t worry! Gerald will be here soon!”

Mila replied as she smiled bitterly.

Her second cousin was the second daughter of her aunt’s family. Her name was Rita and she was extremely gorgeous. She had a close relationship with Mila ever since their childhood.

She used to be the prettiest girl when she was still in school.

Even now after graduating and working in a company, she still had plenty of bees swarming around her in the company too.

Despite her looks, Rita’s personality is rather hostile and arrogant. She had very high standards and she would not be interested in any ordinary boys at all.

It has already been more than three years since she graduated.

Getting into a serious relationship was never in Rita’s thoughts until today, but she was ironically very interested in Mila’s boyfriend.

The interest that she had in him was simply that of a family’s affection.

Well since her cousin sister had a boyfriend, wouldn’t it only be the right thing to do to check him out to see if he was truly qualified?

“Mila, I’m sooo sorry for making you wait so long!”

Gerald’s voice suddenly burst through the silence.

Mila had initially thought Gerald would be taking a cab over instead. Bearing that in mind, she had already planned out an excuse to handle her cousin, Rita.

But Gerald took Mila by surprise when she saw him walking towards them from the opposite direction.

“Gerald, you’re finally here! Come on over! Let me introduce my ultimate bestest sister to you!”

Mila cluttered Gerald’s arm affectionately.

“This is my second cousin, Rita! She is four years older than us. What do you think? Gorgeous, isn’t she?”

Gerald glanced at Rita before giving a tiny nod.

This woman was indeed very beautiful.

“Wait. If you’re saying that my cousin is beautiful, then does that mean that I am not beautiful to you anymore?”

Mila said coquettishly.

Seriously.

Her acting was completely believable.

“No, no. You are Mila…well, both of you are beautiful. Both of you are beautiful.”

Gerald replied as he brushed the sweat off his forehead.

“Oh, Mila! Stop teasing Gerald already!”

Rita actually felt a little uncomfortable at the sight of the young couple flirting in front of her. Perhaps it was also because she had been single for quite a while and found it difficult seeing others showing affection for one another.

Including her own cousin.

Rita folded her arms as she looked at Gerald.

So this was Mila’s boyfriend!

His outfit paired really well and he had a pretty decent appearance. He had a firm gaze and looked very confident.

She would probably have given him a score of nine for his initial impression, out of a hundred.

Her judgement reflected just how cold and arrogant Rita was, and definitely one of the main reasons she was still unable to find a boyfriend till now.

[Chapter 124]

”Hello, Gerald. So Mila told me your family is running a business. What sort of business is your family doing, if I may ask?”

Rita quizzed as her arms were still tightly folded across her chest.

“Oh, well, all sorts really, just into different businesses and industries.”

To be honest, it was a question Gerald never really knew how to answer.

After all, his sister always mentioned that their family had too many different ventures. Basically, the family is involved in almost half of the world’s capital or industries.

Plus, he came from a huge family whose businesses had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Jessica did not exactly share much about their family.

Hence with only limited knowledge about his family, he could only answer those questions from others very generally.

“There seems to be no solid answer at all, eh? It’s so confusing!”

Rita shook her head as she smiled wryly.

“I heard that Mila and you met when the both of you were learning how to drive. You must have already gotten your driver’s license then! Have you bought a car yet?”

Rita prodded again.

“Yup, he has one. He bought a BMW 7 Series. His family told him he should practice how to drive well first. But Gerald doesn’t really dare to drive well at the moment. Hence, why I asked him to just get a cab here.”

Mila knew for the fact that it wasn’t the wisest to hide some things from Rita. This time round, she had no choice but to lie in order to prevent Gerald from feeling stressed out.

She had to hide the truth.

“Hah. BMW 7 Series? There’s this annoying dude in my department who drives the exact same car. He tried to pursue me and I simply told him to scoot off!”

Rita replied, shaking her head.

But looking at the circumstances, Gerald’s family business must be doing pretty well.

Nevertheless, he would still be too far behind of a match if he wanted to be Rita’s boyfriend.

Rita was really, quite the bombshell.

So, this was her capital.

Her goal was to be married into an extremely wealthy and powerful family. She wanted to find a rich husband who would be able to give in to all of her whims.

In fact, his age wouldn’t matter even if he was older or younger than her.

Most importantly, he just needs to be from a wealthy family!

For her, a wealthy man isn’t just defined as someone who has started his own company and has assets worth more than fifteen million dollars.

She was referring to those who inherit huge family businesses and empires.

Rita did not know when it was that she started having these thoughts and ambitions. But one thing for sure that it was very apparent.

At that very instance, Rita quickly shook her head and flashed a forced smile before she said, “Well, Mila. Grandma’s birthday banquet is about to begin. We should head in now.”

Rita had by then already lost all interest in continuing a conversation with Gerald.

Mila stuck out her tongue before whispering softly, “Gerald, please don’t hold it against my cousin. She has always been like this. No one can ever be good enough for her unless he’s a son of an extremely wealthy and influential family. Though she really shouldn’t continue being this way.”

But what else could Gerald do? Should he be telling her that he was actually the son of one of the wealthiest and most influential men in this world, so that her cousin could marry him instead?

That was obviously, quite the impossible.

Moreover, Rita was really a little too haughty for his liking.

Forget it. After all, he was really just helping Mila put on an act today. It wasn’t something to be taken too seriously anyways.

The three of them then walked inside.

Almost the entire family turned up to attend the birthday banquet today.

Her uncle, father, third uncle, big aunt, second cousin brother, and many other relatives were also present.

Basically the entire Royal Dragon Villa was booked out for this special banquet today.

Dozens of people started flocking in when it was almost time for the banquet to begin.

“Grandma, I wish you longevity and I hope that all of your wishes will come true! Hahaha!”

The silver-haired woman was dressed festively, beaming as she was sitting in the center.

She looked at her granddaughter, Irene as she said:

“Irene, I don’t really hope for longevity anymore. But if you are hoping for all of my wishes to come true, then my biggest wish is for you to get married as soon as possible!”

It isn’t like how it was for them back in those days, compared to young parents nowadays. What the elderly always look forward to was that a girl should already be looking for a man to marry when they reach the age of twenty three or twenty four years old!

“Yes, grandma. Please allow me to introduce you to my boyfriend, Kenneth!”

Irene smiled before she gently pulled Kenneth over to her side.

As he stood beside, many relatives and friends could not help but chuckle in approval as they commented, “This young man really looks like a talented person!”

“I also heard that his family is really rich!”

“Grandma, this is a little something from me. Please have a look and receive it!”

Kenneth smiled as he took something out from his pocket.

The moment he took it out, everyone immediately started gawking…

[Chapter 125]

”A jade ring!”

“What a filial man you are, Kenneth! The value of this jade ring is worth at least ten to twelve thousand dollars! Tsk tsktsk!”

Everyone could not help but continue to exclaim in admiration.

After all, it was really very filial of a boyfriend to give his girlfriend’s grandmother a piece of jade ring for her birthday.

“Alright, alright. Irene, hurry up and ask Kenneth to sit down!”

Her grandmother was so elated upon receiving the ring that she couldn’t even keep her mouth closed anymore. She couldn’t even bear to put the ring down.

The more she looked at Kenneth, the more she liked him.

Even Irene’s father felt immensely proud at that very moment.

In fact, the reason why everyone gathered here today to celebrate and congratulate the golden lady for her birthday, wasn’t just merely to show filial piety.

That was just, but a small part.

The larger reason was the fact that the old lady was still holding onto all the assets that were left behind by the old man when he passed away. There were three sons and two daughters altogether, but

it was this old lady who got to ultimately decide who these assets would be passed down to.

Hence, the extravagance of the birthday banquet every year.

“Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Claire. We would also like to wish you a very happy birthday.”

Kyle wished and was smiling broadly as he handed his gift over to his grandmother.

The old lady couldn’t help but smiled even wider this time.

Next was a young man who was about twenty five or twenty six years old.

He was wearing a blue suit and his hair was brushed sleekly to the back.

He exuded with charisma. Anyone could tell that he looked like one of those successful men at first impressions.

Mason Smith was his name, and he was Mila’s cousin brother and Irene’s biological brother.

All eyes were fixed on him as he stood out.

Mason was very mature and he had a very stable career. Moreover, he has always been the one with the strongest ability in the family. He also had the best grades amongst all of the children and grandchildren in the family.

Not to mention, he was also the future heir of the Smith family.

“Grandma, your grandson wishes you a good and abundant life with good fortune!”

“By the way, grandma, this is my new girlfriend, Queenie!”

Mason quickly introduced.

“Good, good, good. All of you are really giving me big surprises today! I really have to take a good look at my future daughter-in-law then. Queenie, what are you working as?”

Queenie replied: “Grandma, I now work at BMW. Currently the deputy manager, thanks to Mason!”

“That’s good! Did you meet Mason then when he was buying a car?”

Mason nodded as he said, “Yes, grandma. Didn’t I mention that I bought a BMW sports car some time ago? Well that was when I met Queenie!”

“I see, alright Queenie. Come. Come and sit here with me.”

His grandmother beckoned.

“Brother, sister-in-law, come and sit down!”

Irene also greeted with a smile.

This pair of siblings really made quite an impression today in the family.

All her children had already wished and given their blessings according to hierarchical order and most of the grandchildren had also given their blessings to their grandmother. With that, the birthday banquet should have been ready to commence.

However, the celebrated golden lady of the day seemed to be not ready.

It seemed as though she was still waiting for someone.

She felt as though the celebration was not complete, if this person had not yet come up to wish her.

Who was it?

But of course, it was none other than Mila, the old lady’s most beloved granddaughter!

“My second son, where is my granddaughter, Mila?”

The old lady questioned out loud.

Mila’s parents, Gavin and Helen were also present today.

It happened a while ago where Gavin’s company nearly closed down due to his poor business management and the old lady was extremely furious over that matter.

Unexpectedly in the nick of time, an investment from Mr. Crawford of Mayberry City was the saving grace that helped to resolve the crisis.

Not only were all of the company’s problems resolved, but the company even skyrocketed to a whole new level.

This made the old lady very happy.

Because of this, she began to dote Mila even more.

The moment she questioned Mila’s attendance, Irene and Mason’s faces twitched and turned a shade of grey.

They could only suppress the jealousy that was bursting inside.

“Mila’s waiting for a friend and she will be here soon!”

“Oh? Does Mila have a boyfriend too?”

“Seems like it…”

Gavin replied nonchalantly.

Anyways, Mila had given him a heads up that she would be bringing her boyfriend here today.
