Section 270

If Xu Hao insisted on making trouble for them, it wouldn't be too late to expose Xu Fangfei then.

“Are you the ones who bullied Yunshu?”

“She has a gentle nature and doesn't hold grudges against you, so you thought you could just bully her as you pleased, is that it?”

“Speak up, why? If you don't give me a reason, I won't do anything to you directly, but I will find your parents and have a little chat…”

The few girls' faces turned pale, and they trembled with fear.

Frightened by Xu Hao like this,

they were all on the verge of tears.

Although they had graduated from university, they had little to no social experience.

Hearing that they had caused trouble and that a big figure like Xu Hao was going to take the matter to their parents,

they couldn't help but feel terrified.

Someone was already planning to expose Xu Fangfei.

They only hoped to appease Xu Hao's anger toward them.

Li Yunshu was very kind-hearted.

Hearing that Xu Hao was going to contact these classmates' parents, she was also startled.

In truth, this matter wasn't really a big deal.

It wouldn't be good if things escalated.

Moreover, it would also trouble Uncle Xu.

He managed tens of thousands of people under him and was already busy enough on a regular basis.

He shouldn't have to run around for her over such a trivial matter.

She was incredibly moved in her heart…

Uncle Xu was doing all of this for her sake.

Even if it meant making a big scene and disregarding his working hours, he still wanted to get justice for her.

But she didn't want to trouble Uncle Xu.

“Uncle Xu, let's forget it. I'm really fine…”

Xu Hao knit his brows and looked at her.

“Are you really not going to pursue this? They were bullying you just now, and I heard they treated you like this back at school too. This practically qualifies as school bullying.”

“It's fine, the past is in the past.”

Li Yunshu shook her head.

In fact, if it weren't for the thought of Xu Hao wanting to fire her yesterday,

she wouldn't have cared at all about what these classmates said.

The fact that Xu Hao wanted to fire her…

…was the main reason why she felt so emo.

Seeing that a prominent figure like Xu Hao wanted to get justice for Li Yunshu,

yet Li Yunshu was generous enough not to pursue the matter,

the way the classmates present looked at Li Yunshu completely changed.

“I heard the things they said just now, they were incredibly nasty. Miss Li actually chose not to pursue it. If it were me, I would definitely have President Xu back me up and teach them a harsh lesson.”

“That's why you can't compare to her. Returning resentment with kindness—I didn't expect Miss Li to have such a kind-hearted side…”

“I admit I was narrow-minded. The reason Miss Li was so distant from us before was entirely due to her personality; she's just not good at socializing. We all misunderstood her.”

“I misunderstood Miss Li too. It's all because those girls often spoke ill of Li Yunshu behind her back, which led us astray.”

“…”

The classmates whispered among themselves,

deeply moved by the kindness Li Yunshu displayed at this moment.

The six girls were also astonished.

They had all thought they were finished.

They never expected that the one who would speak up to plead for them

would actually be Li Yunshu, whom they had bullied throughout university.

Xu Hao looked at them and said coldly,

“You heard her. For Yunshu's sake, since she pleaded for you, I won't go to your parents. But if there is a next time…”

The girls let out a collective sigh of relief.

“Thank you, President Xu…”

“President Xu, you are truly magnanimous.”

“Rest assured, President Xu, we will never do it again…”

Xu Hao remained expressionless.

“The one you should thank is not me.”

The girls quickly realized and began speaking to Li Yunshu one after another.

“Yunshu, I'm sorry. I was jealous of your beauty before, which is why I spoke ill of you. Please forgive me this once, I'll never do it again.”

“I'm sorry, Yunshu. I shouldn't have said those things about you before.”

“Thank you for pleading for us. If anyone bullies you in the future, I'll stand up to them for you…”

Looking at these classmates who used to bully her constantly, now earnestly apologizing and thanking her,

and seeing the admiring looks from the other classmates around her,

Li Yunshu felt a bit dazed.

This would have been unimaginable in the past.

She had no grudges against those classmates, and she had also wanted to resolve their differences and get along peacefully.

Yet, it hadn't been resolved throughout their four years of university.

But now, at a single dinner gathering after graduation, they had turned weapons into shields of peace.

And the one who had made all of this possible—

was entirely because of Uncle Xu in front of her.

An indescribable wave of emotion welled up in her heart.

“Yunshu, do you still want to stay here and have dinner with them?”

Xu Hao looked at her.

Li Yunshu shook her head.

Although these classmates had changed their views of her, she still felt some lingering discomfort.

She didn't want to stay in this place that had almost plunged her into an abyss of despair.

“Uncle Xu, I'll go with you…”

As they walked out of the private room, Xu Hao asked,

“I noticed you didn't eat much just now. Do you want to come eat something with me?”

Only then did Li Yunshu remember that Xu Hao had come here to eat.

He had only run into her by chance just now.

She actually didn't have much of an appetite.

But she couldn't let Uncle Xu stay hungry.

“Uncle Xu, I'll keep you company.”

Then, led by Manager Xiao, they arrived at a luxurious private room.

Only long after Xu Hao had left with Li Yunshu did sounds start coming from the class reunion's private room again.

Some sighed in admiration at Li Yunshu's kindness and generosity.

Even more people were talking about how well Xu Hao took care of his employees…

They expressed that once they reached a certain position in their current companies, they would jump ship directly to the Xu Group.

The gathering wasn't over yet.

Everyone continued to eat and drink.

The organizer, Ye Tao, looked at Xu Fangfei and called out,

“Fangfei, later we're going to a KTV to sing, and there are all kinds of other activities…”
