Chapter 316

Even at this point, you're still making excuses.

He'll be the death of me sooner or later.

If my body weren't failing me now, I'd really want to scrap this 'account' and raise a new 'alt'.

If only he were like my old friend Xu Hao, who has several daughters—how much peace of mind that would bring…

Hearing his father's words, Chu Xiaotian actually relaxed instead.

As long as his father hadn't discovered what happened between him and Li Xiao, it was fine.

"Dad, listen to me, I really didn't do anything."

He paused, then continued.

"Alright, I did ask Lin Chuqing out and wanted to drug her."

"But before I could do anything, I happened to run into Uncle Xu Hao, and he chased me away."

"So I really didn't do anything…"

Chu Xiaotian acted as if he had been deeply wronged.

He still felt resentment toward Xu Hao in his heart.

He had been so close to successfully winning over Lin Chuqing.

By then, Lin Chuqing would have followed him wholeheartedly.

Just thinking about that aloof, icy female CEO—the goddess in the eyes of countless people—obediently listening to him…

Just thinking about it made him feel like he was in heaven.

If he hadn't been chased away by Xu Hao, why would he have gone looking for a woman?

Then Li Xiao brought him to this small motel, and the door lock just happened to be broken.

resulting in an intense man-on-man lock-up.

"Ugh—"

Thinking about what happened with Li Xiao, Chu Xiaotian almost threw up.

Chu Xiong frowned.

This rebellious son had indeed targeted Lin Chuqing.

Wait…

His son said he didn't succeed.

He didn't believe his son would lie to him at a time like this.

Xu Hao just happened to appear by chance and saw his son trying to target Lin Chuqing.

And stepped in to stop him.

Chu Xiong let out a long sigh of relief.

He wasn't ready to deal with Zheng Feifan yet.

He had thought they would have to enter a life-and-death struggle ahead of schedule.

Since his son hadn't succeeded, there was still room for damage control.

"You should thank your Uncle Xu for appearing. If you had actually done something to Lin Chuqing, see if I wouldn't break your dog legs…"

Chu Xiaotian shuddered.

It seemed that by ignoring the warning, he had truly made his father angry.

Looking at it this way, Xu Hao was indeed not to blame for any of this, and he even had to thank him.

But he really couldn't bring himself to feel grateful.

"What are you still doing out there? Get your ass back here right now!"

Chu Xiong scolded him, exasperated that he failed to meet expectations.

Pausing, he suddenly thought of a question.

"By the way, is Xiao with you? I called him, but he didn't pick up either."

Chu Xiaotian felt terrified.

Looking at Li Xiao, who was currently washing up in the bathroom, he knew he couldn't admit it even if it killed him.

"Brother Li? I don't know…"

"You're still playing dumb with me? Xiao is my trusted aide; he wouldn't ignore my calls. Did you say something to him, or did you take his phone?"

Chu Xiong knew his son very well.

He instantly picked up on his guilt.

As long as his father didn't suspect anything in that direction, Chu Xiaotian gritted his teeth and willingly took the blame.

Out of guilt toward Li Xiao and to prevent his father from overthinking…

He didn't mention that it was Li Xiao's idea to drug Lin Chuqing.

In Chu Xiaotian's mind—

Li Xiao had also done it for his own good.

He didn't want him to continue down a path of ruin.

Everything had been going smoothly, but at the last moment, it was ruined by Xu Hao, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Therefore, Chu Xiong still trusted this loyal subordinate as always.

Seeing his son remain silent, Chu Xiong assumed it was a tacit admission.

This made Chu Xiong even more furious.

"I had Xiao stay by your side not to be your lackey for you to order around at will."

"Show him some respect in the future, and bring him along with you…"

He hung up the phone.

Chu Xiaotian looked eagerly at Li Xiao, who had finished cleaning up and walked out.

Li Xiao said indifferently,

"Let's go."

Now, in addition to Xu Hao, there was another person he wanted to kill.

And that was Chu Xiaotian.

To be tormented so miserably by this guy.

If he didn't kill him, it would be impossible to appease the hatred in his heart.

But he couldn't do it yet.

Li Xiao still planned to use the power of the Chu family to obtain his starting capital.

He could actually use this incident to get a sum of money from him.

Anyway, since he had already been bent over, it would be a waste not to take some benefits.

Then, using the information he knew, he would make a fortune.

Once he grew powerful enough,

he would definitely tear Chu Xiaotian and Xu Hao into ten thousand pieces…

In the evening—

Xu Hao arrived at the Chu family home once again.

It turned out he had received another invitation from Chu Xiong.

Saying he wanted to thank him for stopping his worthless son from committing a grave mistake, and to discuss their cooperation.

Xu Hao had agreed.

It was the perfect opportunity to go to the Chu residence and fulfill his final agreement with his sister-in-law, Yao Xinrui.

After four encounters,

his conquest of this female lead was almost complete.

Especially the last two times, which saw massive Breakthroughs.

Once was at the beauty salon, with her good friend Su Wanqiu present.

And once was in her company office.

During which they even encountered Chu Xiong and employees coming to look for her.

Little did they know what his wife and the CEO were doing inside, separated only by a door…

That day—

the shock brought to Yao Xinrui was immense.
