Chapter 284: Embarrassed Without an Invitation
Because Xiao Lan understood that Xu Hao, being such an outstanding person, must already have a girlfriend, she absolutely couldn't get too close to him.
However, Xu Hao was showing kindness to those children, which forced her to abide by Xu Hao's not-too-excessive demands.
But now, it seemed that Xu Hao even turned down a beautiful woman who threw herself at him, and he even retorted sharply, which truly surprised Xiao Lan.
It turned out that what the head of the orphanage had said was not all true.
Louise faced another setback, yet she did not get discouraged and smiled saying, "Dear Xu, when do you have time?"
Xu Hao responded indifferently, "Tomorrow then."
"Great! I'll be waiting for you at Cappuccino Cafe tomorrow."
After saying this, Louise threw Xu Hao a flirtatious glance, twisting her slender waist as she left.
Xu Hao felt somewhat helpless; Louise was indeed very charming, but the more charming a woman was, the more lethal she could be, and who knew, maybe someday he would fall into such a woman's hands.
The last time he saw Louise, Xu Hao had only achieved Great Perfection Mastery Level and hadn't noticed anything unusual.
But this time, he had advanced to the Grandmaster Level, and his sensitivity to many things had increased. He noticed a subtle power in Louise, which seemed as if it was sealed.
Xu Hao faintly sensed that this power was extremely violent, seemingly carrying an endless thirst for blood.
There were many things in his inherited memories, but there were some that Xu Hao couldn't access yet; he needed to be stronger first.
And in the inherited memories that Xu Hao did have, there was no record of such power.
Xu Hao shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore. He would deal with issues as they came and, with enough strength, no matter what power was within Louise's body, he could face it calmly.
Xu Hao, pulling Xiao Lan, headed to the gown shop, ignoring Wu Yihan, who used to be arrogant and domineering. Letting him suffer a bit was a good thing.
As for the Wu Family, they currently had no conflicts of interest with Xu Hao and didn't plan on opposing him for the time being.
Seeing Xu Hao entering a gown shop with Xiao Lan, Wu Yihan finally reacted and immediately said, "Xiao Ying, there seems to be something off about Xu Hao. He actually got Louise to ask him for a favor, and he was indifferent to her. I need to hurry and find out who he really is!"
Wu Yihan was genuinely panicked at the moment. Louise's cousin Jack had made him suffer a lot. Seeing Louise now reminded him of the times when Jack had brutally beaten him, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.
Xiao Ying, feeling somewhat sympathetic, said, "Okay, let's hurry home. For the evening dress and such, we can have someone deliver it to us."
Wu Yihan, scared, glanced towards the direction where Xu Hao had disappeared, his eyes darting around as he pondered something.
...
By this time, autumn had just begun.
Although the days were still very hot.
But the nights in Huadu were somewhat chilly.
Everyone wore a thin coat to fend off the slowly creeping chill.
However, the chill could not hide Huadu's bustling and lively streets.
And outside Huadu International Hotel, the scene was extraordinarily lively.
Many of the business magnates who were rarely seen on normal days had arrived.
At the entrance, luxury cars poured in, world-class vehicles densely parked in the parking lot like fish scales.
Xu Hao parked the car in the parking area, then walked with Xiao Lan to the hotel's entrance.
Seeing the somewhat deserted look at the hotel entrance, Xu Hao joked, "It seems they've banned ordinary people from dining here tonight, but indeed we are late. Otherwise, you could have seen many of Huadu's successful people from various fields."
Xiao Lan, timidly following behind Xu Hao and wrapped in a long coat, said nothing. Yet her eyes darted around, clearly filled with curiosity about the place.
As Xu Hao and she approached the entrance, the doorman suddenly raised his hand, making a stop gesture, then said, "Please show your invitation."
Xu Hao was stunned; he hadn't asked the Sun family to prepare an invitation.
He chuckled awkwardly and said, "I don't have an invitation. I'm a guest invited by the Patriarch of the Sun Family, Sun Decong."
The doorman frowned slightly. Xu Hao had just dropped a big name, the Patriarch of the Sun Family, one of the Four Great Families, a significant figure in Huadu. He was far beyond what this doorman could handle.
If this person truly was invited by the Sun family's patriarch, then he must let him in. If he didn't and the patriarch blamed him, he wouldn't be able to work in this industry anymore.
But if he wasn't, and he let him in, it'd be fine if nothing serious happened. But if it did, he might not even be able to save his life!
Seeing the doorman's dilemma, Xu Hao said, "I really am a guest invited by Sun Decong, the Patriarch of the Sun Family. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
