I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

Wang Haoran originally planned on poisoning Ma Hongsheng before he entered the villa, preventing him from taking part in the banquet.

But he didn't expect him to have so many bodyguards. As it is, making a move will be quite difficult.

If Ma Hongsheng were to suddenly faint, then suspicion would inevitably fall on Wang Haoran.

And that simply wouldn’t do.

For now, he made his way back to the hall.

With such a large number of people present, it would be difficult for Ma Hongsheng’s guards to spot the culprit.

Back in the hall, Wang Haoran took a look around, searching for Su Lang and Yang Jingwan’s family.

Su Lang sat on a stool with a solitary look on his face, alone as he savoured a glass of red wine.

In contrast, the Yang family went to and fro, desperately trying to make some connections.

However, their endeavours were all in vain.

These people weren’t fools. They could tell that the Yang family had neither money nor power, and as such, being “friends” was the last thing on their minds.

“Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting anything out of this trip.” Yang Tai sighed deeply.

“Ugh! Just look at these people, acting all arrogant! Bah!” Li Manli looked even more agitated than before.

“Mom, there’s no use complaining. Our family has no money, and we definitely don’t have any power. The others obviously wouldn’t want to make friends with us. At this rate, you’ll only be damaging your health.” Yang Jingwan assuredly said.

As they spoke, Su Lang suddenly arrived.

“I already you that no one would be paying attention to you. Do you believe me now?”

Originally, he stayed with them, attempting to persuade them to not waste their time.

Until Li Manli grew tired of him and thus drove him away.

“You b*****d, don't help if you don't want to. But if you insist on speaking ill of me, then you should just stay away. The farther away, the better!” Li Manli complained.

Su Lang merely smiled in response, not taking the insult to heart as he stood there, unmoving.

“Hurry up already! Can’t you see how angry mother is?”

“Su Lang, just leave.” Even Yang Tai and Yang Jingwan were getting annoyed.

“Look, you want connections and a big project. Just leave it to me, I can take care of it.” Su Lang proudly stated.

Yang Jingwan shook her head.

She hated Su Lang the most. He could do nothing other than cook and do housework, and yet he acted as though he could do whatever he pleased.

She didn’t feel like wasting her words, but the same couldn’t be said for Li Manli.

She couldn't bear it any longer, practically spitting on Su Lang with rage.

“You waste! Who do you think you are?! Do you know Ma Hongsheng?”

“I really do.” Su Lang nodded with a smile.

“You're crazy!” Li Manli shook her head.

“Mr. Ma is here!”

There was some movement from the other end of the hall.

The corners of Su Lang's mouth twitched slightly, ‘Finally.’

He’s been waiting for this for so long.

Ma Hongsheng brought plenty of bodyguards, but considering how many people were already in the hall, he elected to only bring two of his best with him while the others stood at the door.

As soon as he arrived, many of his guests flocked to him, eagerly greeting him.

Even the rich could be divided into several categories: those with tens of millions, those with hundreds of millions, those with billions, and those with tens – if not – hundreds of billions.

Each level was completely different.

And Ma Hongsheng stood at the pinnacle, holding hundreds of billions in assets.

Thus, he was a revered figure.

Faced with everyone’s enthusiasm, he responded with a smile.

However, there were far too many who came to say hello, leaving him unable to move for a while.

“Didn't you brag that you know Ma Hongsheng? Why don’t you go over and say hi?” Li Manli sneered at Su Lang.

“No need, he’ll come to me.” Su Lang raised his head with pride.

“I really should take you to a mental hospital. Just look at how delusional you are.” Li Manli pouted.

“Our family really is cursed…” Yang Tai sighed deeply upon seeing Su Lang’s behaviour.

Yang Jingwan was silent. With a face full of pity, she sighed.

Su Lang saw all of this and just shrugged it off.

Just a bit more and Ma Hongsheng will come over and greet him. By then, everything will change.

With a happy smile on his face, Su Lang drank red wine and waited quietly.

“Mr. Ma?!”

“Mr. Ma, what's wrong?”

“Mr. Ma fainted, take him to the hospital, hurry up!”

Panic sounded from the other end of the hall.

A group of bodyguards immediately lifted Ma Hongsheng and ran quickly towards the outside of the villa.

Naturally, they were on their way to the hospital.

On the other hand, Su Lang’s expression froze as he witnessed this scene.

[Ding! The Host took away the protagonist, Su Lang’s, opportunity to show off!

• Receiving 300 Villain Points!

• Su Lang's Protagonist Halo -15!

• Host's Villain Halo +15!]

Ma Hongsheng obviously didn’t faint by accident. Wang Haoran snuck into the crowd of people who came to greet Ma Hongsheng and got to work.

Unable to meet with Ma Hongsheng, Su Lang’s opportunity is all but gone.

With Ma Hongsheng's departure, the others grew less interested, leaving one after the other.

“All that for nothing… we're leaving too.” Li Manli dejectedly said to her family.

“Mom, I'll go talk to Ma Hongsheng and ask him to introduce his personal connections. I’ll definitely find a project for dad.” Su Lang said.

“Don’t interrupt me! Just shut up! How could a rich man like Ma Hongsheng know you?!” Li Manli could barely hold her breath, she couldn’t bear the annoying noises he kept making.

“I don't have to lie, I really know Ma Hongsheng.” Su Lang insisted.

“Then hurry up and bring him to me, right this instant!” Li Manli said.

“I'll go to the hospital and have a look. If he’s okay, then I’ll definitely bring him to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left.

It really did seem like he was going to the hospital to find Ma Hongsheng.

Of course, the Yang Family just thought he was crazy.

As they got ready to leave, Wang Haoran came over.

“Young master? How can we help you?” Li Manli asked with a humble smile.

“Nothing much.” 

Wang Haoran responded, before smiling at Yang Jingwan, “Can I borrow your phone?”

Yang Jingwan didn’t like how contemptuous Zhen Li was, but the same didn’t apply to the kind and handsome Wang Haoran. In fact, she found it difficult to think ill of him.

“Sure.”
