Chapter 450: Chapter 450

Zhao Yanhong said with some self-mockery, "Although I didn't know who my biological parents were for all these years, my foster parents have been very kind to me. I've long regarded them as my own parents."

Xu Hao said, "The Patriarch of the He Family, He Yian, right? I wondered why his last name was He and yours was Zhao. Now I understand."

Zhao Yanhong said, "You clearly knew that the Patriarch of the He Family is my father, so why did you treat me like that last night? It seems it's indeed because the power behind you is so strong that you don't need to take the He Family seriously."

"Hah, in Huadu, do I really need to rely on any other power? I alone am enough to sweep away everyone!"

When Xu Hao said this, his eyes were filled with unparalleled confidence, but to Zhao Yanhong, it sounded like he was boasting.

No one would dare claim they can sweep through the entire Huadu, right?

Not to mention, just talking about the Wu Family, the largest family, which has at least three Grandmaster Level Experts. How could Xu Hao, so young, possibly be a match for any of them?

The little bit of affection Zhao Yanhong had begun to feel for Xu Hao vanished instantly as soon as he finished that sentence.

Too arrogant, even more so than those people from Fusang Country!

Seeing Zhao Yanhong's disbelief, Xu Hao couldn't be bothered to explain and continued, "I'm not interested in the secrets you carry. I saved you yesterday and today because you are a Huaya person and they were Islanders. That's all."

Anna added from the side, "Zhao Yanhong, don't think brother saved you means he likes you. And don't you start liking him because of this. There are already too many people who like Brother Hao, and I don't want more competition."

"You two aren't siblings?" Zhao Yanhong asked, surprised.

"Of course not! I am someone who wants to be Xu Hao's girlfriend!" Anna declared emphatically.

Zhao Yanhong understood, but she scoffed, "Who would fall for him? With that narcissistic look, anyone who likes him must be blind!"

"Tsk! The more decisively you say it now, the more likely I think you'll fall for Brother Hao later," Anna retorted with a pout.

"Bullshit! If I fall for him, I'll be damned…"

Zhao Yanhong paused, then said, "I... I'll give up being non-mainstream from then on!"

"You said it, it's a promise!" Anna, as if her scheme had succeeded, recorded Zhao Yanhong's words.

Zhao Yanhong suddenly had a bad feeling, feeling like she had fallen into a trap, but upon reflection, how could she possibly fall for Xu Hao?

She let it go, convincing herself she was just overthinking.

Seeing Anna causing mischief again, Xu Hao said, "Stop messing around. Do you want to join the club? It's almost noon; hurry up and have a look outside. I have things to do in the afternoon."

"Shh—Sister Yao is coming this afternoon, aren't you just eager to see her?" Anna said, looking like she knew it all along.

Jiang Xuezhun nodded in agreement.

"Who is Sister Yao?" Zhao Yanhong asked.

"It's Sister Qin Yao. She was Brother Hao's university classmate and his first love, though back then Brother Hao was the one who had an unrequited crush... erm..."

Before Anna could finish, Xu Hao put a hand over her mouth and scolded, "Enough with your chatter. If you talk nonsense again, I'll lock you in the house for a month so you won't be able to leave." This сhаptеr wаs uplоаdеd by thе tеаm аt М|VLЕМРYR.

"No, please no!" Anna, frightened, quickly cuddled into Jiang Xuezhun's arms, shouting frantically.

"Look how you've frightened her. She's not young but still immature. She takes everything you say seriously," Jiang Xuezhun scolded Xu Hao, comforting Anna.

Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Xu Hao had just made a casual remark, but Anna had taken it seriously, now scared to this extent. He said apologetically, "Anna, don't cry, I was just joking. I won't scare you again."

"Okay, I knew Brother Hao was the best to me," Anna smiled through her tears instantly.

Watching the three of them interact so joyfully, Zhao Yanhong suddenly felt a bit envious.

She had no playmates as a child, and as she grew up, only boys and girls she had dominated gathered around her. They always spoke to her respectfully and cautiously.

At first, she enjoyed feeling like the king-kid, but as time passed, she grew more and more tired of it because it felt tedious.

But, it was difficult for her to make close friends now.

Being a non-mainstream girl with a past full of fights and bad behavior had given her a bad reputation, and ordinary people didn't want to associate with such a girl.

She smiled self-mockingly in her heart and suddenly said, "I'll have someone clean up this wild corpse tomorrow, let's go."

Xu Hao nodded. He sensed Zhao Yanhong was troubled, but he didn't ask since they weren't close.

No sooner had they walked out of the storeroom than they saw a large crowd outside, all craning their necks to look inside.

Zhao Yanhong's face turned cold and she snapped, "What are you looking at? What's there to see? Scram!"
