Chapter 268

It was a message from his precious daughter, Xu Fangfei.

There were only two letters.

—"OK."

Xu Hao smiled.

Bai Ling opened the car door.

Xu Hao got out of the car.

Seeing Li Xiao glaring at him with a face full of resentment, Xu Hao stepped forward and patted his shoulder.

"You did a good job covering for me. Keep up the good work. I'm counting on you for my next two dates with your sister-in-law…"

Li Xiao's eyes widened.

He wondered if he had misheard.

Did he really want him to keep doing it?

Did he have no shame at all?

"You never intended to let My sister go from the start! You've already tricked me into covering for you and My sister-in-law several times! Do you take me for a fool?"

Li Xiao was furious.

Xu Hao's actions had already shown that he would renege on his word.

And he still wanted him to cover for him?

Had he lost his mind?

"You're actually right. I really am playing you like a fool."

Casting aside his previous refined and gentle demeanor, Xu Hao wore a playful expression.

"You…"

Li Xiao instantly flared up in anger.

Killing Intent surged from his body, only to be suppressed by Bai Ling beside him.

Seeing his enemy right before his eyes, he couldn't do anything.

Li Xiao was about to burst with rage.

"What I said to you earlier was just playing along with you. You're right—your sister is so innocent and kind, how could I possibly let her go?"

"You don't want to work for me? That's fine, as long as you're not afraid of anything happening to your sister and parents…"

To utter threats in such a nonchalant manner was truly something else.

Li Xiao was shaken to his core, as if struck by lightning.

The scenario he least wanted to face had happened after all.

Xu Hao's influence was formidable, evident from how he assigned bodyguards around every 1.3 women.

His parents and sister were ordinary people; secretly moving against them would be far too easy.

His family had no way to resist at all.

"Your family's fate is in your hands. Let's see what you choose."

"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave."

Patting Li Xiao's shoulder, Xu Hao turned and walked into the hotel.

Li Xiao stood stunned in place for a long time.

After pondering back and forth, he found no solution.

It seemed that other than obeying, he had no other choice…

He had transmigrated here.

Logically speaking, his predecessor's family had nothing to do with him.

The life or death of his predecessor's parents was none of his business.

However, he couldn't get past his own conscience, or perhaps it was because of his predecessor's lingering obsession.

Demanding that he protect his family from harm…

Seeing Xu Hao, the receptionist girl respectfully stepped forward to receive him and ushered him inside.

Checking Xu Hao's reservation, she led him toward the private room.

But before they had walked a few steps, a middle-aged man in formal attire with a dignified expression blocked her way.

"Go attend to your other duties. I will personally attend to this distinguished guest."

"O-Okay, Manager Xiao."

The receptionist girl hurriedly nodded and returned to her post.

Before leaving, she did not forget to glance at Xu Hao.

Seeing that this handsome uncle had an extraordinary aura, she hadn't expected him to truly be an important figure.

To actually have their lobby manager receive him personally.

Dismissing the receptionist girl, the middle-aged man offered a flattering smile to Xu Hao.

"President Xu, this way, please."

It turned out that back when Xu Hao made the reservation,

it had caught the attention of Manager Xiao.

He had been constantly prepared to receive him in person.

The manager respectfully led him upstairs.

As "coincidence" would have it, they bumped into Xu Fangfei.

Upon seeing Xu Hao, she put on a guilty expression.

Xu Hao questioned her "reasonably and logically."

Then, Xu Fangfei led him to the private room where the students were gathered…

122 Saving an Innocent Girl! Smearing Freely on a Blank Sheet! The Protagonist Explodes!

With a click, the door to the private room opened.

Since Xu Fangfei had suddenly become so beautiful, the students were all paying attention to her, consciously or unconsciously.

Earlier, Xu Fangfei had said she was going to the restroom, and now she was back.

Gaze after gaze turned toward the doorway.

To their astonishment—

Xu Fangfei had indeed returned.

Except behind her were two middle-aged men.

One of them was very handsome and charming, a handsome uncle with great poise.

Strange. How did the originally proud Xu Fangfei become so well-behaved…

Who were these two people?

Why did Xu Fangfei bring them to the gathering's private room?

As the host of this class reunion, Ye Tao…

…had no choice but to step forward and handle such an unexpected situation.

He recognized one of the middle-aged men.

The hotel's lobby manager.

When he booked the private room, that manager had been the one to receive him.

He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Manager Xiao, is something wrong? We're holding a class reunion right now. If there's anything, you can speak directly with me…"

However—

Manager Xiao merely glanced at him indifferently and stood aside in silence.

Xu Hao had been fine just a moment ago, but after seeing that young beauty, his expression changed.

He seemed very angry.

He certainly didn't want to offend this big shot.

He obediently kept his mouth shut, waiting to see what would happen before deciding how to handle it.

Ye Tao noticed his gaze.
