Xu Hao laughed and said, "That's true, if I hadn't cooperated with Li Chenggong, I wouldn't be this confident."
When Jiang Xuezhun heard that Xu Hao was not only not opposing their plan but was extrely supportive, she was overjoyed. She threw herself onto Xu Hao and showered him with kisses before finally getting up.
Xu Hao touched his face, sowhat speechless. This girl didn't know to be embarrassed—there were other people here!
Jiang Xuezhun exclaid loudly, "Husband, I love you so much, this has been my dream for so many years!"
Anna, standing aside, covered her face, only peeking through her fingers at Jiang Xuezhun, and muttered softly, "Sha, sha, sha."
Cao Wang instantly felt he shouldn't stay any longer, but he still felt obliged to say, "Young Master Xu, I have urgent matters at ho, I should leave, but there is one thing I'd like to say to you."
"Master Cao, please feel free to speak," Xu Hao gestured for him to continue.
Cao Wang seed okay to him; not arrogant, not gloomy.
This ti Xu Hao hadn't planned on pursuing the matter, but Cao Wang still ca specifically to apologize, proving he truly knew the ways of the world—already outdoing Cao Ren by several streets.
Xu Hao began to feel sowhat wary in his heart. In Huadu, the Four Great Families and the Seven Small Families' heads, none of those who could sit in their positions were simple!
Was Wu Yong from the Wu Family really partial to himself because of fear?
Maybe not!
Was the Sun Family truly willing to stand loyally by his side?
Perhaps not!
The Qian Family siding with him had much to do with Anna and Anthony; if the Qian Family found better partners and stopped cooperating with Anthony, would they still align with him?
That was hard to say!
Therefore, only one's own strength was the genuine principle.
Once powerful, without a word from you, other forces will automatically bow down to you.
At this mont, Cao Wang had no idea what Xu Hao was thinking. He hesitated slightly before saying, "Although Wu Yong no longer contends over Mr. Li's cooperation qualification with you since the matter is essentially a foregone conclusion, due to this, you have already turned hostile towards the Wu Family, so friction in the future is inevitable.
"You know, my Cao Family is a Vassal Family of the Wu Family, a decision persistently upheld by our family elders for many years, and I cannot change it. Yet, I feel sure you will prevail in future confrontations, so I hope, if you do win, you can show rcy and not utterly destroy our Cao Family."
Xu Hao looked at him indifferently and said, "Are you hoping I will spare Cao An's life?"
"Exactly, exactly, that's it!" Cao Wang imdiately said.
Xu Hao spoke, "If Cao An doesn't do anything harmful to , then I can spare his life."
Cao Wang imdiately said, "Rest assured, I will send him abroad to study right away, not letting him return for three years. I believe, your confrontation with the Wu Family will definitely end within these three years."
Xu Hao spoke indifferently, "I have no intention of confronting any person or force. However, as I expand, I will inevitably impinge on so vested interests. If the Wu Family obstructs my developnt, then that is blocking my path forward, and we will inevitably be in a fight to the death. As long as Cao An doesn't do anything harmful to or my people, then I will not pursue his responsibilities."
"With your words, I am reassured, Young Master Xu. I trust that you will certainly keep your promise," Cao Wang said after receiving Xu Hao's affirmative answer, promptly standing up to leave.
Just as he reached the door, Xu Hao suddenly said, "Master Cao, aren't you afraid I will send soone to inform Wu Yong about what you said today?"
Cao Wang's footsteps halted imdiately.
If Xu Hao told Wu Yong, then the relationship between his Cao Family and the Wu Family would undoubtedly deteriorate rapidly, and it might even cost him his life!
But, he suddenly turned around with a smile and said, "I believe Young Master Xu, you won't disclose this. You wouldn't employ such base tactics. I was born in the Cao Family, so I must serve them, but I know the Wu Family will certainly fail, so I wanted to secure my son's life. When the Wu Family fails, it will be bad for all of us, including my son, but I am risking my life to ask you, Young Master Xu, to spare him this once. I think it's worth it. Whether I die sooner or later, I have to die, even if you go tell the Wu Family now, I won't regret it."
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Xu Hao suddenly clapped three tis, stood up and said, "Master Cao, you have truly changed my opinion! Dedicating oneself to the Cao Family to the utmost is loyalty; risking one's life for one's children to seek a way out is righteousness. Master Cao, having both loyalty and righteousness, even though you stand with my opposing force, I still hold you in high esteem!"
"Young Master Xu, you flatter ," Cao Wang said with a sowhat bitter tone.
Everyone envies those born into noble families, especially the Family Heads, admiring their power, coveting their vast wealth.
But, nothing is without its price.
Those seemingly free things have all been secretly marked with a price.
