Many people began to investigate Louise's identity and background using their own ans, but nearly all of them ca up with nothing.
After all, their family's power and social standing were sowhat low, and certain information wasn't easily obtainable. Given so ti, they could surely uncover it.
Louise was slightly shocked when she heard Zhou Huasheng's words, but she quickly realized that he must have learned of her true identity.
She sneered inwardly, feeling even less fond of Zhou Huasheng. She despised n who didn't strive to improve their own capabilities but instead tried to attach themselves to others for an easy life.
However, she didn't show her disdain and said indifferently, "Mr. Zhou Huasheng, I won't trouble you with the matter of my missing item. I'm off to find my dear Xu."
My dear Xu?
Louise had just said that, but Zhou Huasheng hadn't paid much attention since there were many with the surna Xu in the world.
But now, his interest in Louise's matters had grown, and he beca more sensitive. He imdiately thought, could it be Xu Hao?
Zhou Huasheng tentatively asked, "Dear Miss Louise, the Xu you ntioned, who is that?"
"Of course, it's Superman Big Brother!"
From the corner, Xiao Lan suddenly shouted out. Seeing Louise stopped by Zhou Huasheng for so long made her feel obligated as a fellow woman to help Louise rid herself of this annoying pest, so she took a deep breath and yelled.
If it had been the Xiao Lan of the past, she surely wouldn't have dared to shout like that, but now with Xu Hao by her side, she felt much bolder in everything she did.
Everyone turned their attention toward them, could it really be Xu Hao?
Upon seeing Xu Hao sitting unassumingly in a corner, still eating pastries as if nobody else was around, Louise imdiately exclaid, "Oh! My dear Xu, I was wondering why I couldn't find you. You're here!"
After uttering these words, she quickly walked over to him with joy.
Just like that, Zhou Huasheng, who had been eagerly offering his affections, was suddenly left hanging.
Zhou Huasheng's face turned sour imdiately, finding himself publicly rejected.
But he didn't dare to get angry.
It wasn't until Louise approached Xu Hao that Xu Hao, who still did not turn around, was revealed to be quite vindictive. This cheeky girl had not been very respectful of his dical skills last ti, which had irked him. Louise was so eager to be around him now, even wanting to gift him things, and Xu Hao understood why—she simply wanted him to lend a hand to save her grandfather.
Lives were at stake, and with Xu Hao's compassionate dical skills, he naturally wouldn't refuse to help. However, since her grandfather could still live for so ti, Xu Hao wasn't in a hurry to save him.
This girl had dared to look down on him before; now, it was ti for a small punishnt to teach her a lesson about how one should never be haughty when asking for favors.
With a beaming smile, Louise said, "My dear Xu, do you like pastries? I happen to excel at making them, and I bet mine are tastier than those made by the best chefs here. I've earned a Michelin three-star chef certification. If you like them, I'm willing to make them for you every day."
Xu Hao remained silent.
The crowd was sowhat astonished. Even Zhou Huasheng, whom Louise was very eager to please, when it ca to Xu Hao, was t with such cold indifference despite her proactive gestures.
Zhou Huasheng's face grew extrely unpleasant at this ti. Although Xu Hao had done nothing to humiliate him, he felt as if he had been insulted!
Silently insulted!

Louise continued with a smile, "My dear Xu, in a while, the weather is going to get a bit cold. If you don't mind, I could serve as your bed warr."
"..."
Speechless, the crowd thought it was clear she was shalessly throwing herself at him!
Moreover, it was the kind of shaless pursuit that pushes itself upon soone despite their indifference.
Yet Xu Hao continued to eat his pastries thodically, still not looking back.
By this ti, Zhou Huasheng was nearly about to explode with anger!
The Louise he had just regarded as a goddess, tirelessly courting her affections, treated him with extre coldness. Yet now, she turned around to woo Xu Hao!
What was even more unbearable for him was that Xu Hao appeared completely indifferent to Louise's advances!
In the past, he had relished the sight of impoverished guys losing their girlfriends to him, their faces filled with anger yet powerless to retaliate, which gave him imnse pleasure.
However, a similar scenario was now unfolding with him at the receiving end.
But the roles had changed; he had beco the victim!
Zhou Huasheng could no longer hold back, clenched his fists, and roared furiously, "Louise, Xu Hao, enough—!!!"
His voice was so loud it reverberated through the entire ballroom, startling the DJ, who trembled and turned off the music.
The onlookers turned their heads in shock toward the raging Zhou Huasheng. Many of them couldn't help but think of a phrase—Your goddess is another's disdain!
The goddess you hold in esteem may be completely insignificant to soone else!
Xu Hao leisurely finished the last bite of his pastry, and Louise hurriedly took a napkin and wiped his mouth for him. Only then did Xu Hao turn around and looked at Zhou Huasheng, smiling faintly, "Zhou Huasheng, what seems to be the matter?"
