Chapter 283: Doubting One's Own Charm
After the Didixiya auction in Jing'an City that day, Miss Louise once requested Xu Hao's help to treat her grandfather.
However, initially, Miss Louise had some doubts about Xu Hao's medical skills, which made Xu Hao not very fond of her, so he did not agree to her request.
In the blink of an eye, a long time had passed.
Yet who would have thought that she would run into Miss Louise here today?
Upon seeing Xu Hao, Miss Louise immediately said with a joyful face, "Dear Xu, it's been a long time."
When Wu Yihan saw Miss Louise, he was startled for a moment, then his eyes suddenly shone with surprise as he exclaimed, "You're Miss Louise! That guy's cousin, Louise!"
He backed away several steps in panic, then angrily said, "It was your cousin, when I was in America, he crazily bullied me with his people!"
Miss Louise glanced at Wu Yihan, slightly smiled, and said, "Wu Yihan, although I am Jack's cousin, I only have a blood relationship with him, no other connections. However, I do sympathize with your situation here, after all, Jack is an out-and-out madman, and the fact that you were able to return to Huadu in one piece is a very good thing for you. You shouldn't dwell on it too much."
Upon hearing Miss Louise's words, it seemed like Wu Yihan was reminded of some unpleasant memories, as he repeatedly stepped back, his face showing a look of horror.
Xu Hao cast a faint glance at him, wondering to himself what on earth had happened to this child, Wu Yihan, to make him so terrified.
However, he did not care much about it, as he and Wu Yihan were not close. Instead, he said to Miss Louise, "Miss Louise, I'm not interested in Wu Yihan's affairs, so don't bother trying to curry favor with me with that."
Miss Louise's mouth, which had just opened, immediately froze. Before she even got to ask, Xu Hao cut her off directly.
Seeing Miss Louise's frozen expression, Xu Hao's lips curled up slightly, and he took Xiao Lan's hand and left.
But he had barely walked a few steps when Miss Louise finally snapped out of it, hurriedly followed him, and then whispered into Xu Hao's ear, "Dear Xu, the matter I'm talking about will definitely interest you because it concerns Mutants."
Mutants!
Xu Hao's heart stirred. Ever since he learned about such things from Dr. Carl, he had always harbored one thought: what exactly are those foreigners striving so hard to research these things for?
To enhance personal combat abilities, or is there another agenda?
If it was merely to enhance personal abilities, they could have practiced Huaya Martial Arts. Although the transmission of Huaya Martial Arts comes with its sect-based prejudices, which could lead to rejection if one doesn't belong to the same sect, with the globalization process, many have set aside their prejudices and started to accept foreigners.
But the reality is, those foreigners have not overly engaged in practicing Huaya Martial Arts; instead, they have invested considerable effort in researching things like Mutants.
What is all this for?
So, when he heard that Miss Louise was talking about something related to Mutants, he immediately became interested and turned to ask, "How much do you know?"
Miss Louise gave a mysterious smile and said, "A lot, a lot, more than you can imagine, but..."
Xu Hao smiled lightly and said, "If the thing you're talking about satisfies me, I'll consider it."
"Agreed! Dear Xu, you really are straightforward!" Miss Louise was overjoyed. Since Xu Hao had said so, it meant that as long as what she revealed was explosive enough, she could "win him over."
However, Miss Louise suddenly felt a bit self-deprecating. In America, she was considered a top beauty, and even those Miss World champions paled in comparison to her. She knew countless men wanted to fall at her feet, but now she kept hitting a wall with Xu Hao, which made her somewhat doubt her own charm.
Collecting her thoughts, Miss Louise said, "Dear Xu, when do you have time? I am always willing to serve you."
The words Miss Louise spoke were indeed a bit too direct, making the onlookers somewhat speechless. Is it really okay to be so blunt?
Clearly aware that her words were a bit too forward, Miss Louise did it in hopes of gaining some favor from Xu Hao, thus she had to resort to such a measure.
But clearly, Xu Hao was not swayed by her approach and said with a faint smile, "Miss Louise, please have some self-respect. If you have a problem, I might consider helping you, but in return, you need to provide me with the corresponding information. There's no need for anything else."
The crowd was stunned upon hearing Xu Hao's refusal. Xu Hao was actually turning down such a beautiful woman!
Wu Yihan was also a bit dumbfounded. Was Xu Hao pretending to be upright?
A good opportunity was being passed up?
Xiao Lan was somewhat surprised inside. She often heard Meng Jiu ramble on about how all men were bad, that none were good, all liking to have both the food in their bowl and an eye on the pot, all fond of frolicking with other women outside.
She had initially thought that Xu Hao was probably such a man, that's why she kept her distance from him on purpose.
