Section 216

They couldn't help but think of how refined and easygoing Xu Hao's attitude was just now. Even toward poor people like them, he never put on airs.

Judging from Xu Hao's attitude toward Li Xiao at the dining table, he wasn't angry with Li Xiao at all.

It had always been Li Xiao who harbored resentment toward him.

Looking at Li Xiao's expression now, how could they still not understand?

Not only did Li Xiao not apologize to Xu Hao, but he also came back and deliberately misled them.

His intentions were truly vicious.

Given the extent of Li Xiao's hatred for Xu Hao, he might have even said some nasty things to Xu Hao when they went outside just now.

Thinking of this, the expressions of the Li family members turned extremely ugly.

Li Yunshu was already thinking about when she could move out to live on her own.

To save herself from getting angry whenever she saw this good-for-nothing at home.

Mother Li was so angry that she was out of breath, pointing at Li Xiao and shouting angrily.

"You little brat, I shouldn't have had any expectations for you in the first place. A good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing, only fit to hang out with those ruffians and scumbags…"

Father Li was so angry that a few parts of his drunkenness instantly sobered up.

Remembering that when Li Xiao offered to see Xu Hao off, he had even agreed and urged his son to properly apologize to Xu Hao.

Yet he came back and lied.

Father Li's anger surged from the bottom of his heart. Glancing around, he spotted a feather duster nearby.

He picked it up, rushed over to Li Xiao, and gave him a sound thrashing.

"You useless thing, you have no ability of your own, yet you've learned how to lie?"

"You don't even listen to my words. See if I don't beat you to death today! Trying to tear down the roof tiles now, are you?"

Father Li had been drinking, so he didn't know his own strength.

He struck quite heavily.

Even with Li Xiao's Ming Jin strength, he still felt a trace of pain.

Li Xiao didn't utter a single sound.

Until Father Li beat him until he was tired and stopped his hands.

Li Xiao stopped pretending as well.

He was still unwilling to give up and wanted to argue his case.

"Don't you guys feel that what happened today is very strange? Those guys arbitrarily changed the relocation compensation, weren't they afraid that we would make a fuss to the higher-ups?"

"At the critical moment, it was Xu Hao who stepped out to help us again…"

Father Li, Mother Li, and Li Yunshu all widened their eyes in utter shock.

Listening to the meaning in Li Xiao's words, he was suspecting once again that Xu Hao had deliberately hired people to put on an act.

Bang—

Li Yunshu simply returned to her own bedroom.

Too lazy to listen to Li Xiao's nonsense, she slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".

Father Li was already panting with exhaustion.

But somehow finding strength from goodness knows where, he unleashed another flurry of severe beating on Li Xiao.

This time, Mother Li didn't stand by the side to lecture either.

She picked up a piece of bamboo strip and joined Father Li, starting a mixed doubles beatdown…

Early the next morning—

Li Yunshu went out early to go to work.

But she didn't notice that a tail was closely following behind her.

It was precisely Li Yunshu's younger brother, Li Xiao.

As it turned out, Li Xiao was worried that his sister would encounter some unexpected changes on her way to work and be rescued by Xu Hao once again in a classic hero saves the beauty trope.

He decided that while he was resting at home, he would conveniently accompany his sister to work.

Anyway, it wouldn't take that long.

Li Xiao was somewhat worried that after Xu Hao helped resolve the family's trouble yesterday,

his sister's favorable impression of Xu Hao had greatly increased.

If Xu Hao wanted to do anything to his sister, he might make a move recently…

He had to keep a close eye on him.

Reality didn't have that many face-slapping tropes.

Li Yunshu arrived safely and uneventfully at the Xu Group all the way.

As luck would have it, Xu Hao also happened to arrive at the company, and the two of them bumped into each other right on time.

Li Xiao had tracked his sister all the way.

Having successfully arrived at the company, he was also prepared to go find that brainless villain.

Unexpectedly, upon suddenly seeing Xu Hao, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

The steps he was about to take to leave were pulled back.

Seeing no other employees around, Li Yunshu switched to an intimate address.

"Uncle Xu, good morning…"

"Yunshu, it's not time for work yet, is it? You come this early every day?"

Ever since acquiring the Liu Family's new energy electric vehicle company, Xu Hao had begun expanding the production scale of new energy vehicles.

He recruited many experts and professors to research new energy vehicle technology.

Including intelligent Driving, energy saving, emission reduction, and so on.

These researches achieved a huge Breakthrough yesterday, so he decided to come over and take a look today.

Otherwise, why would he run to the company early in the morning?

Wouldn't it be much better to sleep while embracing the protagonist's glamorous stepmother's fragrant and soft body?

Li Yunshu replied obediently.

"I just came to the company and there are still many things I'm not familiar with. Coming to the company early is so I can understand things as soon as possible and get into the work state…"

Xu Hao looked at her.

"You just entered the company, just adapt slowly, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

Li Yunshu softly let out an "Mn".

She secretly thought to herself, since Uncle Xu valued her so much, how could she possibly take her time adapting?

If she didn't work hard, her own conscience wouldn't let it pass.

"Eh…"

Li Yunshu heard Xu Hao utter an "Eh", and then she felt two hands on her shoulders.

She raised her head in a daze, discovering that Xu Hao was slowly moving closer.

A pair of deep eyes stared straight at her.

With his handsome face close at hand, waves of masculine aura washed over her face.

Li Yunshu's heartbeat accelerated for no reason.

"Xu… Uncle Xu, wh… what's wrong? Is there a flower on my face?"

Li Yunshu made a moderate joke, attempting to use this method to ease the panic in her heart.

However, Xu Hao's next sentence left her stunned.

"There is indeed a flower."

With a thought, Xu Hao took a petal out from his Pocket Dimension.

He reached out, patted the top of her head, pretending as if he had taken it off from her head.

"Look…"

Xu Hao spread open his hand, presenting it before Li Yunshu.

Li Yunshu was stunned. It must have drifted onto her head when she walked past under a tree along the way.

It had startled her just now; given Uncle Xu's posture, she had thought he was going to kiss her.

So it wasn't that?

Strange, why was she feeling a bit lost?

[Ding… Li Yunshu's heartbeat accelerated, Emotion Points +654…]
