Next time I must do a detailed investigation, otherwise if I kick an iron plate like today, I’ll be done for.

No, there won't be a next time.

I want to be a good person.

"Mom, what is this… That's a villa worth millions."

"How can we accept it?"

President Zhang just breathed a sigh of relief when a pleasant voice rang out, instantly making his heart leap back up.

Looking closely, Li Yunshu walked over, looking at her mother with a complaining expression.

This pretty girl was the key figure.

An employee of President Xu's company, and President Xu came here precisely because of her.

If Li Yunshu didn't agree, then all his efforts would be in vain.

President Zhang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but didn't know how to speak up.

He was afraid that saying the wrong thing would provoke disgust.

Fortunately, at this moment, Mother Li spoke up.

"Aiya Yunshu, what's wrong with accepting it?"

"He actually gave this to us out of respect for President Xu, and we don't owe him anything…"

"And since you are President Xu's employee, you just need to repay President Xu well in the future. If you slack off and loaf on the job at President Xu's company, I won't spare you."

"Besides, President Xu has helped us so much, it's embarrassing to invite President Xu over for dinner at our current house."

Mother Li said, looking at her daughter with displeasure.

She still had a sentence unsaid in her heart.

Although she called him a good-for-nothing son with her mouth, they were family after all.

He would definitely have to get married in the future, and a villa could also make the woman's family look up to him, right?

Clearly, in Mother Li's eyes, Li Xiao was messing around outside and hadn't achieved anything.

"Mom, how can you be like this…"

What her mother said made some sense, and Li Yunshu didn't know how to refute it.

She stomped her feet in anxiety at her mother's greed for money.

"That's right, Yunshu, don't decline anymore, your family really needs to change places."

Xu Hao's eyes flashed as he smiled and said,

With Li Xiao's strength and his status in Chu Xiong's heart, changing houses was only a matter of time.

Anyway, the house was someone else trying to curry favor with him.

It was equivalent to him doing nothing, yet making the Li family and Li Yunshu feel deeply grateful to him.

Why not do it?

Li Yunshu glanced at Xu Hao, finally lowered her head, and said nothing more.

"Alright, it's settled then. I'll have someone arrange it immediately, I guarantee you can move in within a few days."

Xu Hao had spoken, which meant this matter came to a temporary close, and President Zhang was very excited.

Just when everyone was being polite and getting along harmoniously, an untimely voice rang out.

"I refuse."

Swish, swish, swish…

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, looking toward the direction the voice came from with confusion.

Li Xiao finally couldn't hold back anymore. Ignoring everyone's astonished gazes, he stepped forward and said,

"I don't agree."

He certainly didn't want his parents to accept a favor from Xu Hao.

It was just a villa, it wasn't like he couldn't afford it; he just needed to wait a few more months.

"Xiao, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that it was her good-for-nothing son, Mother Li's tone turned displeased.

If you applied yourself a bit more, would I need to worry so much about you not finding a partner or not being able to afford a house?

Why are you stirring up trouble at a time like this?

"Mom, we don't need an outsider to give it to us."

"If you like villas, Mom, I'll buy you one in a few months."

Li Xiao said full of confidence.

Xu Hao watched this scene with a half-smile.

Did they really think the persona he built and his several instances of helping Li Yunshu had zero effect?

Sure enough, Mother Li spoke up.

"Xiao, how can you say that? How is President Xu an outsider?"

Xu Hao was her daughter's boss after all.

He took great care of her daughter.

Ever since they told others that their daughter entered the Xu Group and caught the attention of President Xu, everyone was filled with envy.

Their attitude toward the old couple had improved significantly.

Those relatives who had reduced contact also called over to praise, flatter, and curry favor…

During this recent period, the old couple were as proud and triumphant as could be.

All of this was thanks to President Xu.

Now that her good-for-nothing son was calling Xu Hao an outsider, Mother Li wasn't going to have it.

"Xiao, shut your mouth. President Xu is Yunshu's boss, is that any way to talk?"

"President Xu has helped Yunshu many times, and when he heard our family encountered trouble, he even came over personally. How can you call him an outsider?"

Li Xiao opened his mouth to refute his mother, but Father Li walked over at this moment with a displeased expression.

"You…"

Li Xiao looked at his parents in a daze.

He had only said a few words, yet he was besieged by everyone.

He hadn't expected his family's defense of Xu Hao to reach such a degree.

"Damn it."

He glared at Xu Hao, filled with resentment.

[Ding… Li Xiao is furious, Emotion Points +963…]

"Li Xiao? Little Brother Li, long time no see."

Xu Hao smiled slightly.

Li Xiao hated him so much his teeth itched.

Seeing Xu Hao's breezy and calm appearance just made his Qi flare up.

It was precisely this kind of disguise that had deceived who knew how many ignorant young girls.

"You two know each other?"

Mother Li asked somewhat surprised.

"We've met once."

Xu Hao chuckled.

Mother Li didn't ask further, assuming that during that single meeting, her good-for-nothing son had formed a misunderstanding about him.

The whole family agreed, and Li Xiao's objection was invalid.

The matter was settled.

The Zhang brothers immediately bid farewell to Xu Hao and left with their group of lackeys crestfallen.

"President Xu, we really don't know how to thank you. If you hadn't come over, the consequences would have been unimaginable…"

Father Li and Mother Li cast grateful glances at Xu Hao.

Their tone was exceptionally sincere.

Those people back then were going to drag their good-for-nothing son away and ruin his life with a criminal record.

"It's no big deal, those guys are just bullies who pick on the weak and fear the strong. I also told Yunshu to contact me if she encounters trouble. Yunshu is my employee, and since I think highly of her ability, of course I have to take care of her."

Xu Hao remained as breezy and calm as ever.
