Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278

Lin Ling was really clutching at straws in desperation now.

However, she had no choice in the matter.

Although Xu Hao hadn't said anything about wanting to kill her or something, Xu Hao had a notorious reputation for a long time. Some parents would even say to their unruly children, "If you don't behave, be careful, Young Master Xu will come and get you!"

This phrase was incredibly effective in Huadu, scaring many children into behaving.

At this moment, facing a likely furious Xu Hao, Lin Ling could only think in the worst possible direction.

So, she had no choice but to seek help all around.

However, Xin Peixian said, "Hmph! You're overthinking it! I will never accept you, and furthermore, because of your disrespect and insults towards Young Master Xu, I will never contact you again."

Hearing Xin Peixian speak , Lin Ling collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

She didn't dare to ask Xu Hao for forgiveness at all because she was terrified!

Xu Hao, seeing her back down so quickly, said with a dull expression, "Alas, I thought you might argue for a bit longer, but you gave in so quickly. How boring. Let's go, Zhao Gongli, you can head back too."

Everyone was stunned.

The Third Young Master Zhao of the Zhao Family had just arrived, and Xu Hao was sending him away, not even treating him to a meal. Only Xu Hao dared to treat the Third Young Master of the Zhao Family .

Zhao Gongli said, speechless, "Can't you give me any face? Don't I even get a chance to have a meal with you?"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I just got back from Canada, and there must be a pile of things at the company waiting for me to deal with. Besides, do you think I'm better off staying here with you, or with your sister?"

Zhao Gongli snorted coldly, "You are really something. If someone else dared to say in front of me that they were going to hang out with my sister, I would definitely tear them apart. Moreover, everyone knows you're going to hang out with your college crush, not my sister. How could I believe that!"

"Who told you Xiao Yao was my college crush?!"

Xu Hao was momentarily stunned, but when he saw Zhao Gongli's expression that read "Aha, I knew it," he quickly caught on and said, "Zhao Yanhong definitely doesn't know about this. Even if she does, it's just bits and pieces. Looks like you were trying to fish something out of me, huh!"

Xu Hao had figured it out. Zhao Gongli probably knew he had a college crush but didn't know who it was, and he himself blurted out Qin Yao's name in haste.

This kid seemed quite honest but unexpectedly had so many little schemes.

And everyone was listening eagerly; it involved a little gossip about Xu Hao. Especially those involved with news channels, they were over the moon. If they exposed this matter, their newspaper's page views would surely skyrocket!

Those so-called traffic celebrities were all insignificant in front of Xu Hao. Xu Hao was now the undisputed king of traffic in all of Huaya!

However, they still cautiously sought Xu Hao's consent before daring to draft the article.

Watching Xu Hao and the others walk out, the restaurant owner no longer dared to bring up the bill, and was even very grateful to Xin Peixian and the others. After all, it was because of them that this became a place where Xu Hao had visited. With some marketing, it could be advertised as a place Xu Hao had dined at!

This was quite a powerful promotional tool!

Who wouldn't want to see what kind of place could attract Xu Hao to stop for a meal?

He could then list the dishes' names in his advertisement, telling everyone these were the ones Xu Hao had ordered, and he was sure to make a fortune.

Thinking of this, the restaurant owner couldn't stop grinning; the business was sure to be booming in the future.

But at this moment, Xu Hao suddenly stopped and said to Lin Ling, still squatting on the ground, "By the way, you ordered this meal, right? Xin Peixian and the others had some, but they didn't drink the wine, so I'll pay half the bill, and you handle the rest. Owner, make sure she pays the bill, not a cent less!"

Saying this, Xu Hao didn't wait for the restaurant owner to decline, simply tossing a wad of cash into his hand before walking out the door.

Holding the three thousand yuan in his hand, the restaurant owner was quite helpless. Xu Hao acted so decisively, giving no room for refusal.

And Lin Ling, slumped on the ground, was entirely shocked!

Xu Hao actually wanted her to pay the remaining bill!

Xu Hao had clearly settled the accounts; she ordered dishes worth more than five thousand yuan, and Xu Hao paid three thousand. After all, Xin Peixian and the others barely ate a few bites, and the rest was Lin Ling's, so three thousand was fair. The most update n0vels are published on nοvelfire.net

But even though Xu Hao paid three thousand, she still had to pay ten thousand!

And Xu Hao had given strict orders—she couldn't skimp a single penny!
