Section 269

He wondered in his heart, who was this handsome mature man?

Before he could ask, Xu Hao had already walked toward a dining table.

Li Yunshu hung her head, lost in her own emo state.

She paid no attention to what was happening around her.

"Yunshu…"

Suddenly hearing Xu Hao's familiar voice,

Li Yunshu thought she had misheard.

She raised her head in confusion.

Sure enough, she saw Uncle Xu standing in front of her, smiling at her.

Instantly, a deep sense of security enveloped her.

Especially that smile—it was so healing.

It became the ray of light as she was about to fall into the abyss,

illuminating her entire inner world.

Li Yunshu felt an urge to cry.

Remembering that many people were watching, she suppressed her welling emotions and called out,

"Uncle Xu."

Then she asked in confusion, "Uncle Xu, why are you here?"

"I came here to eat. As soon as I came upstairs, I saw that girl acting a bit strange, and only then did I realize you were here…"

"You don't seem to be in a good state. Did they bully you?"

Speaking of being bullied,

Li Yunshu pursed her lips and shook her head.

"No."

A handsome, mature stranger had suddenly walked in, and he even knew their School Beauty.

The students couldn't help but feel curious.

"Who is this? Can't he see we're eating? Doesn't he know it's very impolite to interrupt others?"

"He actually knows Miss Li. Miss Li calls him uncle, is he an elder?"

"I think he's so handsome and charming. He's exactly my ideal type of mature man."

"It looks like… Miss Li's uncle is here to back her up. I saw those girls at that table mocking Miss Li the whole time. I wonder if a fight will break out."

"You're overthinking it. They're just talking. No one's actually getting physical. At most, it's just some verbal sparring…"

Seeing a perfectly good class reunion disrupted,

Ye Tao's face turned grim.

He immediately prepared to go over and kick Xu Hao out.

Even if you are Li Yunshu's uncle, you can't just disrupt their gathering, right?

He had spent millions on this gathering.

Not only did he see no hope in pursuing Li Yunshu, but when he turned around to pursue Xu Fangfei, he was utterly embarrassed by her single remark.

A fire was burning in his chest.

He was just looking for someone to vent on, and this guy had delivered himself to his doorstep.

Before he could take more than a few steps,

a voice sounded from behind, instantly making his body and mind shudder.

"I advise you not to do anything stupid. That is Xu Hao, the president of the Xu Group. You can't afford to offend him…"

Xu Fangfei spoke.

The nearby classmates who heard this were filled with shock.

"What? He… he… he's actually the founder of the Xu Group, President Xu Hao?"

Someone couldn't help but widen their eyes and cry out in surprise.

Hearing his words, the other classmates also lost their composure.

"Holy crap?! This is the big shot who started from scratch and built everything himself? I didn't expect to meet my idol here today."

"I've long heard that President Xu is elegant and easygoing, but I didn't expect him to care so much about his subordinates. Miss Li probably hasn't been with the company for very long."

"When President Xu found out she was being bullied, he actually came over in person to back her up…"

"President Xu is truly… I'm literally crying. If I had such a considerate boss, what would 996 matter? I'd work 007!"

"I've submitted my resume to the Xu Group and seen photos of President Xu before, but why does he look so much younger in person than in his photos? I didn't even recognize him…"

After learning of Xu Hao's identity, the classmates could no longer stay calm, their eyes shining.

Some classmates were eager to try,

wanting to go up to greet him and get on his radar.

Who knows, maybe if he was happy, he would recruit them into the company?

Xu Hao ignored the chatter around him and looked at Li Yunshu.

"And you still say no? Look at you, you're about to drop little pearls…"

Then, he wiped the smile from his face.

He gestured to Xu Fangfei, who was standing near the door.

Xu Fangfei walked over somewhat timidly.

"Didn't I warn you not to bully Yunshu? Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite to you. It seems you didn't take my words to heart."

Xu Hao's face was serious.

An Aura of a powerful superior swept over the room.

It made these students, who had just entered society, hold their breath in fear.

Xu Fangfei couldn't help but shudder.

It wasn't a shudder of fear, but of excitement.

The way Dad looked when he got serious was simply incredibly handsome.

She really wanted to throw herself into his arms and desperately seek comfort.

Xu Fangfei suppressed this thought.

She put on a fearful and terrified expression.

"President Xu, it wasn't me… I haven't even said a single word to Li Yunshu."

Xu Fangfei hastily explained.

Then, she pointed at the six Sisters at the dining table, betraying them without hesitation.

"It's them. They've been making sarcastic remarks and saying really nasty things…"

After selling out her Sisters, Xu Fangfei anxiously looked at Li Yunshu.

"Student Li, say something! It was them who kept making sarcastic remarks, I didn't say anything…"

Xu Hao looked at Li Yunshu, his gaze questioning.

Li Yunshu nodded.

Xu Hao looked at the Sisters.

At this moment, the Sisters were completely dumbfounded.

They had followed Xu Fangfei's arrangements to mock and suppress Li Yunshu.

Yet in the blink of an eye, they were betrayed by Xu Fangfei.

Had they known that offending Li Yunshu would draw in a prominent figure like Xu Hao,

they would never have helped her deal with Li Yunshu for Xu Fangfei's 100,000 yuan…

Xu Hao's majestic gaze swept over them.

Scaring them so much that they almost blurted out that it was Xu Fangfei who put them up to it.

Ultimately, they held back.

Since they had already offended Li Yunshu anyway,

if they exposed Xu Fangfei as well,

they would not only offend Li Yunshu but also Xu Fangfei, and they wouldn't even get that 100,000 yuan.

They decided to bear with it a bit longer.
