The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

At this point, everyone was a bit astonished. Whose arrival was it that could make the Patriarch of the Sun Family so nervous?

Sun Decong glanced at Zhang Zilong and said, "You just said your third brother called you?"

"Yes." Zhang Zilong sensed something was amiss and didn't dare to elaborate.

Sun Decong sighed, "I just hope the person who acted did so with restraint. Come with me and let's go check it out."

With that, Sun Decong stood up and left, with Zhang Zilong quickly following behind.

The heads of the families exchanged glances and each sent their subordinates to see what exactly had happened.

...

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the hotel, Zhang Pangde was incessantly demanding that the doorman send Xu Hao away. In his eyes, Xu Hao's presence was simply an eyesore. As the third in line of the Zhang family, he always felt he stood on a pedestal of superiority, and to him, ordinary people were like trash.

He looked at Xu Hao with a cold gaze and said sternly, "Kid, are you not leaving? Don't think that if this doorman can't handle you, I can't deal with you either. Just look at your poor appearance; God knows who gave you the courage to come here. But let me make it clear—to me, you are just a pauper, not a rich second generation. Better scram quickly, don't block the view here. If you don't leave and by chance annoy some big shot, you'll be done for..."

Right at that moment, a deep and powerful voice came, "I'd like to see who would dare to be displeased with Young Master Xu!"

Upon hearing that voice, Zhang Pangde felt it was somewhat familiar. He turned his head swiftly, and instantly froze.

It turned out to be his eldest brother!

But the words clearly weren't said by his eldest brother, but by the middle-aged man with an imposing aura walking ahead of him.

He suddenly remembered—wasn't this the Patriarch of the Sun Family?

Young Master Xu?

Zhang Pangde immediately turned to look at Xu Hao. Could it be that the Young Master Xu mentioned by the Patriarch of the Sun Family was this young man?

How could that be possible!

Although Xu Hao had not met Sun Decong before, he had obtained information about him from Steward Wang and recognized him. Seeing that Sun Decong had personally intervened, he said with a slight smile, "Thank you for the trouble, Patriarch of the Sun Family."

Sun Decong hurriedly replied, "Not at all, not at all. It is our Sun Family's honor to serve Young Master Xu. This can hardly be considered troubling."

This statement shocked both Zhang Pangde and Zhang Zilong.

This was the Patriarch of the Sun Family!

Even when meeting with other great family patriarchs like Chen Hai, the number one big shot of Tiannan, he would still be seen as an equal!

But now, he was showing such respect to this young man, as if a servant meeting his master—how could that be!

Although Zhang Pangde didn't understand why, he was a keen man. It's true that scions of great families can be arrogant and overbearing, but few of them are genuinely foolish since their family education teaches them to always prioritize their family's interests above all else.

Therefore, Zhang Pangde quickly realized that he had struck a nerve, and he hastily approached Xu Hao, saying respectfully, "Young Master Xu, my earlier words were offensive. I beg you not to take them to heart. I tend to speak rashly."

"Slap! Slap!"

Zhang Pangde not only apologized, but also fiercely slapped his own face twice, moving so quickly that others didn't have a chance to stop him.

The woman by Zhang Pangde's side had already been scared out of her wits by now, never imagining that the person she had just insulted was someone even the Patriarch of the Sun Family wouldn't dare offend!

She also hurried to Xu Hao and said to him and Xiao Lan, "Young Master Xu, miss, I was blinded by my ignorance just now, sincerely, I am sorry!"

Xiao Lan pursed her lips. Just a moment ago, the woman had been so arrogant and domineering, and Xiao Lan wasn't someone who would easily let things slide, but she didn't want to cause trouble, so she refrained from commenting further.

Zhang Zilong nodded slightly. If Zhang Pangde hadn't slapped himself, he would have done it for him. Anyone who could be treated with such courtesy by Sun Decong was someone their Zhang family simply couldn't afford to offend!

Xu Hao's brow slightly furrowed. The heirs of these great families did have some skills in dealing with people—they were quick to correct themselves upon realizing a mistake. However, as Zhang Pangde was an older individual, if it had been the younger ones, their reaction would have been entirely different.

Seeing that Xu Hao didn't seem to be moving towards anger, Sun Decong felt relieved and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Haha, Younger Brother Zhang, let me introduce you, this is Xu Hao, Young Master Xu..."

Zhang Zilong immediately had a realization and exclaimed, "Is he the Young Master Xu who stirred up a storm in Huadu a short while ago?"

Sun Decong smiled and said, "Exactly! Young Master Xu visited Huadu recently, and some tried to harm him in secret. Unfortunately, those people didn't think it through—what kind of person is Young Master Xu, how could he be harmed so easily?"

Xu Hao laughed, "Let's not dwell on the past; I am not invincible either."

Sun Decong quickly interjected, "Well, in my eyes, Young Master Xu is indeed invincible in Tiannan!"

Xu Hao was somewhat at a loss for words; what had gotten into Sun Decong that he suddenly became his ardent admirer?

Xiao Lan was also surprised. Was this truly the Patriarch of the Sun Family? The way he spoke didn't quite seem to fit!
