Chapter 340

The two of them had already experienced everything that should happen, and even things that shouldn't have happened.

She wasn't so easily embarrassed anymore either.

Immediately, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.

If she had Xu Hao's help,

solving the trouble right in front of her would indeed not be a difficult task…

For some reason——

She used to resent Xu Hao and felt immensely terrified of his sinister calculations.

But after submitting to him,

since she was now one of his own people and staying with Xu Hao, she was once again filled with a sense of security.

She finally understood the feeling her good friend Su Wanqiu had experienced.

In the past, she had spoken ill of Xu Hao in front of her more than once.

Yet afterwards, she had tried to drag her onto her chariot to deal with Xu Hao together.

Xu Hao was truly good to his own people.

Right away, Yao Xinrui said in an excited tone,

"I am not that Chu Xiong's wife at all; you are my husband. Thank you."

"Sister-in-law truly should thank me…"

Xu Hao smiled noncommittally.

Pausing for a moment, he slowly spoke,

"Do you know who exposed those trending news stories?"

"It was that Zheng…"

Yao Xinrui almost blurted out that it was Zheng Feifan.

Because that was what Chu Xiong had told her.

She had seen Zheng Feifan when he broke into the Chu family residence last time.

He indeed possessed extraordinary martial arts skills.

But seeing Xu Hao's meaningful gaze,

Yao Xinrui swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue, her face filled with shock.

"Could it be…?"

Seeing Xu Hao nod,

stormy waves churned in Yao Xinrui's heart.

No wonder!!!

No wonder Chu Xiong said he let Zheng Feifan go yesterday afternoon, thinking that he hadn't found sufficient evidence.

That caused him to lower his guard.

There was another truth to the matter.

That Zheng Feifan indeed did not have sufficient evidence.

All of these pieces of evidence were found by Xu Hao.

While feeling shocked, Yao Xinrui's gaze towards Xu Hao was filled with fear.

Judging comprehensively from those pieces of evidence, Xu Hao had long planned to make a move against Chu Xiong.

It was hard to imagine——

Just a few days ago, the two of them were still eating together and calling each other brothers.

Although the purpose was to get Chu Xiong drunk and then tour the bedroom with her,

it was still enough to show how deep Xu Hao's scheming nature was.

It was simply too terrifying.

To be so ruthless even to someone who could still be considered a friend,

if anyone dared to betray him…

they would definitely die a miserable death.

Yao Xinrui immediately extinguished the thought of resisting Xu Hao.

Just a moment ago——

hearing Xu Hao say he would help her take control of the Chu Group, she had still been plotting that after taking control of this tens-of-billions-worth group,

which would be on par with Xu Group,

she would have the ability to resist Xu Hao's oppression.

That thought was simply too naive.

If she really resisted Xu Hao by then, what kind of end would she meet?

Yao Xinrui shuddered.

Xu Hao took in all her expressions, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.

Clearly, he deliberately said this to deter this sister-in-law…

and extinguish the unrealistic thoughts in her heart.

Of course, he wouldn't trust Yao Xinrui just because of this.

Before making this female lead completely devoted to him, Xu Hao would not help her completely take control of the Chu Group.

Helping her control the company was not a problem.

Whenever Yao Xinrui completely submitted, that was when he would help her obtain the Chu family's shares…

In short——

when Chu Xiaotian died

depended entirely on Yao Xinrui's performance.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Hao asked with feigned concern.

Yao Xinrui snapped back to her senses and forced out a strained smile.

She replied somewhat stammeringly,

"N… nothing…"

Yao Xinrui gradually regained her composure.

Resisting Xu Hao would not lead to a good end.

Wouldn't it be fine if she just didn't resist?

Xu Hao was still pretty good to her right now.

He was helping her manage the Chu Group.

As long as she kept following him, nothing bad would happen.

But at this moment, Xu Hao looked at her playfully.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you say you wanted to thank me just now? You know I've never believed in verbal thanks…"

How could Yao Xinrui not understand Xu Hao's meaning?

Her heart suddenly skipped half a beat.

She quickly looked left and right.

Seeing that no one was around, she relaxed.

Pressing her lips together, she stepped forward and hooked her arm into Xu Hao's.

Walking toward the inside of the villa,

"Husband, let's go inside the house and I'll properly reward you."

"…"

After accepting sister-in-law Yao Xinrui's bowing-and-scraping expressions of gratitude,

Xu Hao began helping her handle the predicament facing the Chu family.

Tax evasion and tax fraud? Pay money where money is due.

Company sealed? Xu Hao pulled strings, paid fines, and quickly completed the procedures.

Some illegal and criminal projects? Abandon them where they needed to be abandoned.

Thus, in less than a day, the Chu Group recovered its tranquility from the turbulent storm.
