Xu Hao glanced indifferently at Tao Tianxiang and said, "She's just a woman of no particular insight. I can't be bothered to argue with her. Take her back and deal with her yourself."

Seeing Tao Tianxiang's pitiful pleas, Xu Hao felt disgusted.

However, if it meant hitting her himself, Xu Hao was too lazy to lift a finger, feeling it would dirty his hands.

Even Xu Hao somewhat regretted hitting her earlier; she was too dirty.

Tao Tianxiang, seeing Xu Hao actually letting her go, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xu Hao spared her, her life was saved. Then, with her beauty and skills, wouldn't it be easy to wrap Jin Tai'an around her finger?

In her heart, Tao Tianxiang felt she had everything under control.

However, Jin Tai'an's punch abruptly brought her back to reality: "Damn you, you wretched woman. You may escape the death penalty, but not the punishment! Young Master Xu is magnanimous enough to let you go, but I will not. Enjoy the punishment I have for you in the coming days!"

With a cold snort, Jin Tai'an grabbed Tao Tianxiang by the hair and pulled her into his car. After saying goodbye to Xu Hao, he drove away from there.

As for Tao Tianxiang's car, Jin Tai'an had his driver take it away.

Xu Hao, seeing the matter resolved, then got back into his car.

Some of the onlookers wanted to say a word or two to Xu Hao, but they only dared to think about it; no one had the courage to actually approach him.

Xu Hao might have had a good reputation, but his notoriety was chilling to the bone.

The driver drove Xu Hao and his companion back to the orphanage.

After leaving Xiao Lan there, Xu Hao left the place. He didn't have much time to stay and accompany the children at the orphanage, but before he left, he gave Xiao Lan a bank card, telling her not to be too frugal and to eat and sleep well, as that was her current task.

Xu Hao was curious to see just how far Xiao Lan's cultivation method would take her in the end?

Xiao Lan, holding the bank card, stared blankly at the car that gradually disappeared out of sight.

At that moment, the little boy whom Xu Hao had once saved and who Xiao Lan met for the first time said, "Sister Xiao Lan, are you in love?!"

As soon as he spoke, the children started to tease cheerfully, "Hahaha, Sister Xiao Lan is in love!"

"Look, Sister Xiao Lan's face is turning red!"

"Stop it, what if you make Sister Xiao Lan cry?!"

"If she cries, it's all your fault. Sister Xiao Lan will definitely feel embarrassed."

Turning around at the sound of the children's taunting, Xiao Lan feigned anger and said, "Whoever speaks nonsense again, don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

"Run! Sister Xiao Lan is going to hit someone!"

"The director is not here, Sister Xiao Lan is making a monkey out of us!"

"Help! Save me!"

The children scattered in all directions.

Watching the overly joyous kids, Xiao Lan suddenly smiled and self-deprecatingly thought, "What am I worrying about? What's mine will eventually be mine; if it's not meant to be, no amount of effort will make it so. My relationship with him is nothing more than that of a sponsor and a staff member, I must be overthinking it!" Thischapterwasuploadedbythe

Shaking her sleek and long hair, Xiao Lan then plunged into her busy work with a smile on her face.

...

"What are you doing in my house?!"

As Xu Hao entered his home, he immediately asked.

Standing in front of him was none other than Zhao Yanhong, the non-mainstream girl fond of street racing.

Although her hair was still the non-mainstream white color, looking somewhat like a chicken's foot had clawed through it, she was wearing normal clothes—a khaki trench coat, skinny jeans, and sneakers—that oddly clashed with her bizarre hair.

"Sister Yao, you see, I knew this would be his reaction when he saw me," Zhao Yanhong didn't reply to Xu Hao's question; instead, she turned and spoke to someone behind her.

Qin Yao walked out from the house, naturally took Xu Hao's hand, and said, "Honey, I think Yanhong's driving is really good. She could be your driver."

Anna also ran out from the house, wrapped her arms around Xu Hao's waist, and hung behind him, her little head peering forward to join in the excitement.

"She wants to be my driver? Xiao Yao, are you still half asleep?" Xu Hao reached out and felt Qin Yao's forehead, noticing it wasn't hot.

But why would she suddenly get such a wild idea today?

Could Zhao Yanhong really make a good driver?

This must be a joke, right?

"Hey! How could I not make a good driver? My driving skills are top-notch!" Zhao Yanhong pulled out her driver's license, boasting.

Xu Hao said coolly, "That still won't do. You like racing, not driving. I'm afraid of dying, very afraid indeed. I fear you might drive me into a ditch."

"Don't you look down on people!"

Zhao Yanhong was fuming inside, but she had to grit her teeth and negotiate with Xu Hao in light of her uncle He Qizheng's orders.

Xu Hao chuckled, "Why? Don't agree? If you don't, then race me. If you can beat me, then I'll agree to you being my driver."
