Section 162.

Yao Xinrui swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Her disgust for Chu Xiong grew even stronger in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hao could not help but show an "excited" expression.

"Is that okay? I happened to encounter two puzzles recently, and now I've met a professional."

"N… no problem."

Yao Xinrui could only reply dryly.

"Brother Xu, come, come, let's play chess. It's been a long time since we drank tea and played chess together."

Chu Xiong took out a set of Chinese chess and set it up.

Xu Hao picked up his teacup and took a sip.

The tea was good tea, but unfortunately, the tea-brewing skill was not very good.

It wasted the tea leaves…

The two of them played chess while chatting.

"Brother Xu, I really admire you. Your real estate business was doing so well, yet you suddenly transformed. That takes quite a bit of willpower."

Pausing for a moment, he spoke again.

"We are not young anymore. We should delegate power where appropriate and hand it over to the next generation to manage, so we can extricate ourselves and enjoy our elderly lives…"

That was what he said, but looking at Xu Hao's mature and handsome Face, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a 50-year-old man.

A slight ripple stirred in Xu Hao's heart.

This old brat had hidden meaning in his words; what did he mean?

He said calmly, without changing his expression.

"Precisely because I want to leave it to the next generation, I want to make the company diversified. If the real estate industry suffers an attack in the future, the whole group won't suffer."

"Brother Xu is joking. The real estate market is very booming right now, and I don't know how many people are breaking their heads to rush in."

"It's just taking precautions for a rainy day…"

Xu Hao just perfunctorily brushed it off casually.

He sneered coldly in his heart.

It might look prosperous now, but who knows when a policy change would ruin it.

Seeing that Xu Hao did not take the bait, Chu Xiong continued to probe.

"If you ask me, Brother Xu is just worrying too much. I think your Eldest Daughter's business talent is no less than yours."

"In just a few years, she built a company worth tens of millions from scratch. A woman holding her own among men…"

A slight ripple stirred in Xu Hao's heart.

He seemed to know what this old brat wanted to do.

Was he trying to arrange a marriage alliance with him?

You must be daydreaming, trying to court death?

Not to mention your trash of a son, even if the King of Heaven came, he would not agree.

The daughter is his, no one can take her away!

If it weren't for the fact that the Chu Family is not weaker than his Xu Family, just because of his hint, he would have wiped him out…

Very well, is that how you want to play?

You dare to have designs on my daughter?

Then don't blame me for being unpolite to your wife.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, while Xu Hao looked calm and breezy on the surface.

"Mingyue still has a long way to go, and her ways of handling things are not enough; she still needs more tempering."

"She has been throwing tantrums at me all these years. After graduation, she threw herself into the business world and never came back."

"I don't even know her current situation. I originally thought daughters were more worry-free than sons, but the result is still the same…"

Chu Xiong took over the conversation.

"Brother Xu is joking. Who doesn't know that all seven of your daughters are proud daughters of heaven."

"My son is the one who is truly worrisome; he only knows how to mess around outside and doesn't do proper work."

Hesitating for a moment, he continued.

"I wonder what Brother Xu thinks of my son?"

You bloody well said he doesn't do proper work.

And you're bloody well asking me?

Xu Hao cursed inwardly, but kept a smiling Face on the outside.

"He has a dignified appearance and knows manners. Which young person nowadays doesn't enjoy life? Once he plays enough later on, it will be fine. They know what they are doing in their hearts, so you don't need to worry…"

They were both old slicks traversing the business world; Xu Hao should have known his implication.

But saying nothing meant he disagreed.

Chu Xiong sighed.

His own son simply lacked Life Qi.

Afterwards, he changed the subject and no longer dwelled on it.

Not long after——

The nanny served the dishes on the table, and a group of people took their seats.

Unexpectedly, the protagonist Li Xiao was also there.

It seems this family really treats the protagonist as a family member.

Even if they were relatives, being family with the protagonist wouldn't necessarily lead to a good ending.

Let alone not being relatives…

Chu Xiong took out the fine wine he had treasured for many years.

This was his good friend's first time coming to his home, so he couldn't be sloppy.

Otherwise, where would his Face as a billionaire be placed?

Only Yao Xinrui indicated she wouldn't drink, while the several men all poured a full cup.

Seeing that the wine was poured, Chu Xiaotian impatiently raised his cup.

"Uncle Xu is coming to our house for the first time, let's all toast Uncle Xu a cup…"

Chu Xiong cast an appreciative look at his son.

Xu Hao currently had no intention of a marriage alliance.

But if his own son performed well, what if Xu Hao changed his mind?

Chu Xiaotian curled the corners of his mouth upward.

This was all what Li Xiao had taught him just now.

Not familiar on the first meeting?

It doesn't matter.

Then get him happy by drinking at the wine table.

Next, besides Chu Xiong and Xu Hao drinking, Chu Xiaotian also toasted repeatedly.

Even the protagonist Li Xiao offered a toast.

Xu Hao accepted all comers.

Relying on his current Physique, drinking this little wine was nothing…

The meal ended.

The father and son of the Chu Family were both a bit drunk.

Xu Hao and the protagonist Li Xiao both possessed strength and remained sober.

The sky outside had already grown dark.

After drinking tea with Chu Xiong for a while to sober up, Xu Hao planned to go back.

"Brother Xu, don't you have questions to ask Xinrui? It just so happens she is at home today, you can ask her directly…"

Chu Xiong stopped Xu Hao and reminded him…

His relationship with Yao Xinrui was discordant; it was just out of an agreement that they showed a good relationship appearance.

In fact, Yao Xinrui often didn't come home.

She only came back once every family gathering.
