Chapter 1277: Chapter 1277
Zhao Gongli rushed over?
Everyone was instantly intrigued by Xu Hao's conversation with them. From what Zhao Gongli said, Xu Hao actually ordered him to come?
This is simply too unrealistic.
Zhao Gongli is the Third Young Master of the Zhao Family of Changyang, wealthy beyond measure, adored by countless young women. Wherever he goes in Jiangnan, he attracts a massive following.
It's only because this is Huadu, and the Zhao Family of Changyang does not have a strong influence here, that people don't take much notice of Zhao Gongli's presence since they're not familiar with him.
But now everyone in the restaurant knows this is the Third Young Master of the Zhao Family of Changyang. Everyone is aware that he wields tremendous energy and is certainly not to be trifled with.
So, when they heard Zhao Gongli saying such things, they were extremely shocked. From the way he spoke, it sounded like Zhao Gongli was subordinate to Xu Hao.
How is this possible? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Almost nobody in the restaurant recognized that this was Xu Hao, otherwise, they wouldn't be having such thoughts.
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Don't say that. Now everyone knows you're the Third Young Master of the Zhao Family. Everyone thinks you're more noble than me. If you say that, I feel like I'll get killed."
Zhao Gongli was taken aback, and quickly said, "No, isn't this Huadu your turf, Xu Hao? How could there be people who don't recognize you?"
When Zhao Gongli mentioned Xu Hao's name, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
This young man in front of us is Xu Hao?!
Almost everyone present had heard of the name Xu Hao and knew the kind of prestige Xu Hao had in Huadu and Tiannan. However, almost none of them had actually met Xu Hao.
But now Zhao Gongli tells them that this unremarkable young man in front of them is Xu Hao!
This instantly stunned everyone present.
How could this be possible!
The most shocked among them was Lin Ling.
Lin Ling instantly collapsed to the floor, almost wetting her pants in fear. She never imagined that the person she'd been clashing with was the notorious and ruthless Xu Hao!
This was enough to scare her into a heart attack!
Who dares to directly confront Xu Hao?
That's simply courting death!
Yet now, she has insulted Young Master Xu, even attempting extortion!
She suddenly panicked, almost fainting on the spot.
It turned out Third Young Master Zhao came here not because of her, but because Xu called him.
Just a word from Young Master Xu, and even Third Young Master Zhao couldn't help but rush over, which shows how esteemed Young Master Xu is in Third Young Master Zhao's eyes.
And she was just a minor secretary in Third Young Master Zhao's company, he could kick her out at any moment!
Zhao Gongli was no ordinary person; he quickly grasped the nature of the situation, sighed slightly in his heart, and said, "Ah, why bother? If you offended me, I wouldn't kill you, but Young Master Xu is known for having a temper. Offend him, and he might take your life in a matter of minutes! You're on your own. I wouldn't offend Young Master Xu just for you."
Zhao Gongli didn't want to stand up for Lin Ling, he didn't even know her. Right now, he needed Xu Hao's help. If, by any chance, he angered Xu Hao and Xu Hao no longer cared about his sister, he'd have nowhere to cry!
Currently, Xu Hao's ranking on the Heavenly List is getting higher. Zhao Gongli's confidence in Xu Hao is also growing, believing that maybe Xu Hao truly can single-handedly subdue the whole Lü Family!
Risking his sister's future to plead with Xu Hao for an unknown woman, Zhao Gongli couldn't commit such an utterly foolish act.
Xin Peixian seeing Lin Ling's condition, immediately said, "Alas, if only you had been kind to others, you wouldn't be so terrified now."
Manager Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief; when he came in, he hadn't said anything inappropriate to Xu Hao, otherwise, he too would be scared witless right now.
Lin Ling immediately crawled to Manager Lu's feet, grabbed hold of his legs, and cried out, "Manager Lu, I beg you to speak kindly of me to Third Young Master. I really don't want to die, I beg you!"
Now only if Zhao Gongli speaks up is there any chance of Xu Hao letting her go. Nobody else's words would work.
However, Manager Lu said, "Ah, you're putting me in a tough spot. I'm just a small manager, I have no say in this. You want me to plead with Third Young Master, you might as well kill me! Third Young Master has already said he won't speak to Xu Hao for you, so just give it up!"
Lin Ling instantly collapsed to the floor again. Suddenly, she looked towards Xin Peixian, crawled over, and said, "Mr. Xin, you have such a good relationship with Young Master Xu, surely your words would carry weight. Can you help me, please? If you help me through this crisis, I'm willing to give myself to you! Really, I'll stay by your side and live a good life with you!"
