Section 215

"You're overthinking it, aren't you?"

Xu Hao glanced at him sideways and did not admit it.

[Ding… Li Xiao was furious, Emotion Points +876…]

Li Xiao harbored secret resentment in his heart.

Acting, still fucking acting.

If I hadn't seen how you flirted with the beautiful landlady, I really would have been fooled by you.

He couldn't be bothered to look at Xu Hao's face anymore and said coldly,

"Stop beating around the bush. What will it take for you to let My sister go?"

"If you're going to talk to me about this, then there's no need to continue this conversation."

Xu Hao sneered dismissively and turned to leave.

"Xu Hao, you wouldn't want Big Brother Chu Xiong to find out that you threatened sister-in-law Yao Xinrui, would you?"

Seeing Xu Hao about to leave, in his desperation, Li Xiao finally uttered these threatening words.

In truth, barring absolute necessity, he didn't want to say this either.

Saying it out loud made him feel utterly terrible inside.

Sister-in-law Yao Xinrui was the prey he had set his eyes on, yet she was snatched away by Xu Hao.

So hateful.

Xu Hao pulled back the step he had just taken.

Li Xiao took a deep breath and looked straight into Xu Hao's eyes.

"Don't think I don't know what you and sister-in-law did outside at the Chu residence last time. As long as you let My sister go…"

"No matter what method you use, whether you fire her or whatever, keep your distance from her."

"I won't tell Chu Xiong about what happened between you and sister-in-law."

Xu Hao stopped, turned his head, and let out a scoff, "Heh."

"So what if you know?"

"Go ahead and tell Chu Xiong. You don't seriously think I'm afraid of him, do you? Heh…"

Li Xiao was slightly taken aback.

Remembering Xu Hao's identity, he felt somewhat relieved.

Both sides possessed assets worth tens of billions; who was afraid of whom wasn't certain yet.

He hadn't expected Xu Hao to be so unyielding.

Even if you aren't afraid of Chu Xiong, don't you care about your reputation?

"Then what do you want? I'll agree to anything I can do, as long as you don't hurt My sister."

Li Xiao was extremely helpless and dropped his tough tone.

He wished he could kill Xu Hao, but then he thought of the Dark Tier bodyguard by Xu Hao's side.

Fearing that before he even got close to Xu Hao, he would be the one killed first.

His strength just wasn't enough after all.

"There actually are some things I need your help with…"

Xu Hao spoke playfully.

Through Li Xiao's attitude today,

he learned Li Xiao's weakness.

Caring so much about his family made controlling the protagonist much simpler.

In the future, when fulfilling the agreement with female lead Yao Xinrui, to avoid Brother Chu Xiong finding out, he needed someone to provide cover.

Li Xiao was a pretty good candidate.

Seeing Xu Hao's somewhat eerie smile, a wave of ominous premonition suddenly surged in Li Xiao's heart.

"What do you want from me?"

"I'll tell you after I've thought it through."

Xu Hao left behind these words, turned around, got into his car, and sped away.

Leaving the protagonist Li Xiao desolate and absent-minded in place…

104 The heart-fluttering female lead! The protagonist falls into the trap! Seducing sister-in-law…

Li Xiao returned home looking completely dejected.

The whole family was waiting for him. Seeing him return, Mother Li immediately asked curiously,

"Xiao, what's the situation? Did you apologize to President Xu? Did he forgive you?"

Father Li was also quite concerned about this.

After all, Xu Hao had helped them a lot.

If anyone in their family was dissatisfied with Xu Hao or even harbored resentment towards him,

they couldn't even be called human.

Li Yunshu didn't care about this at all.

Ever since they were kids, she hadn't cared much for this younger brother.

Later, when Li Xiao went out to fool around, their relationship became even more distant.

It wasn't a big deal originally; living under the same roof, they just lived their own separate lives.

But Li Xiao actually harbored all sorts of suspicions and doubts towards her benefactor Xu Hao, which touched her bottom line.

She was completely disappointed in this younger brother…

She didn't care about anything concerning Li Xiao at all.

Looking at his parents' expectant gazes, Li Xiao felt a bitter taste in his heart.

How badly did they want him to yield to Xu Hao?

No, he couldn't let Xu Hao's influence continue to spread in the hearts of his family members.

Thus, he said,

"No, as soon as I went out, I apologized to President Xu, but he refused to forgive me…"

Father Li and Mother Li couldn't help but feel disappointed and sighed.

This couldn't be blamed on Xu Hao either; if anyone was to blame, it was their good-for-nothing son who didn't know where he had offended the other party.

Li Xiao had no choice either.

If he uttered even the slightest bit of ill about Xu Hao right now, he would be swarmed and attacked by the whole family.

He could only use this method—first downplay it, then instigate… and subtly change his family's impression of Xu Hao.

However, right at this moment, Li Yunshu's voice suddenly rang out.

"You're lying."

Li Yunshu was seen knitting her brows as she looked at him coldly.

"Uncle Xu is such a good person, and during dinner earlier, he treated you equally as well…"

"He was even willing to drink with you, so how could he not accept your apology?"

"You didn't apologize at all, did you?"

Li Xiao was stunned.

He hadn't expected his sister's reaction to be so intense.

He hadn't even spoken ill of Xu Hao at all, yet this could still be rebutted?

It seemed that Xu Hao's impression in his sister's heart was deeper than usual.

Li Xiao instantly became vigilant.

Sister's current state was too dangerous.

Who knows, if Xu Hao waved his hand, his sister might obediently offer herself in bed and throw herself into his arms.

Shocked by Li Yunshu's words,

Li Xiao began thinking of a solution on how to protect his sister from getting hurt…

He froze for a moment.

Father Li and Mother Li were left in a daze upon hearing this.
