Supremely Talented Tyrant

At this moment, Guo Shuxian was sitting in front of the two, draped in a bathrobe, with her arms crossed over her chest and a sharp look in her eyes that commanded authority as she stared at the pair:

"Speak up, what exactly is going on?"

"He's my friend. He drove me home tonight, and we just happened to run into you coming back. I hid him to avoid any misunderstandings," Che Xiaoxiao explained meekly, her head bowed.

"Hello, Auntie," Hao Jian hurriedly raised his hand in greeting, offering an apologetic smile.

"Who are you calling 'Auntie'? Do I look that old to you?"

Guo Shuxian's voice was fiercely indignant, her face flush with anger. Just the thought of this guy having seen her naked made her wish she could flay him alive.

How dare he call her 'Auntie'? Did she look like an auntie? Couldn't he see she was only eight or nine years older than him?

"So, Big Sister?" Hao Jian ventured cautiously, keenly aware that Mother Tiger was in no mood for nonsense and it was probably best not to provoke her.

"Big Sister? Ha, 'Big Sister' implies age too, doesn't it? What's the difference between calling me that and 'Auntie'?"

Guo Shuxian was especially annoyed. This kid really had no sense of subtlety; wasn't he just trying to say she was old?

"I can't exactly call you 'Sister', can I?"

Hao Jian was on the verge of tears; now he truly understood why Xiaoxiao used to say her mother was terrifying—she really was difficult to deal with.

"Call me Miss Guo, or Mrs. Guo, got it?" Guo Shuxian said icily.

"Understood, understood," Hao Jian nodded earnestly, like a chick pecking at grains.

"So, tell me, what's your relationship with my daughter?" Guo Shuxian scrutinized Hao Jian, her stare as if she were interrogating a criminal.

"Me? I am just her friend, she said as much earlier, didn't she?" Hao Jian replied with a wry smile.

"Friend? I wasn't aware she had such a 'friend'. And you're so much older than her; how could you possibly just be friends?"

Guo Shuxian was clearly dissatisfied with Hao Jian's explanation. In her eyes, Hao Jian being alone with Che Xiaoxiao in the middle of the night was highly suspicious.

Guo Shuxian had complete faith in Xiaoxiao, but she did not trust Hao Jian.

Hao Jian laughed dryly, "Miss Guo, there's no need to pry further. It's not just me; I bet you don't know a single friend of Xiaoxiao's, right?"

Guo Shuxian's brows furrowed instantly, surprised by Hao Jian's astuteness in detecting her intentions.

She truly did not know much about Xiaoxiao's friends because her busy work schedule had prevented her from getting to know Xiaoxiao's social circle properly.

"You're right, I am not aware of the kind of friends Xiaoxiao has, but no matter what type of friends she makes, I will not allow her to befriend someone like you!" Guo Shuxian stated sternly.

"Me? What about me?" Hao Jian was also getting annoyed. Me, 'someone like me'? What's wrong with 'someone like me'?

"What's wrong with you? You're much older than her, yet you're getting ambiguously close with such a young girl. You think I don't know what's on your mind? You just want to take advantage of her youth and naivety, and once you've had your way with her and got her pregnant, you'll just walk away without a care. I've seen plenty of guys like you!"

Guo Shuxian snorted coldly, her first impression of Hao Jian cementing her belief that he was not a good person, his every move as despicable as a scoundrel's.

"She's easy to deceive?"

Hao Jian was so angry he felt like cursing. With Xiaoxiao's clever and mischievous personality, could he deceive her? It would be a miracle if she didn't end up selling him out!

"Well, you can insult my character, but I won't allow you to insult my preferences! I have zero interest in 'lolitas'; mature women like you are my true interest," Hao Jian asserted angrily, unable to contain his indignation at being accused by Guo Shuxian of being a pervert. Enough was enough—even an uncle has his limits!

Che Xiaoxiao and Guo Shuxian both felt like banging their heads against a wall.

Such a defense was truly one of a kind!

"You are indeed a pervert!" Guo Shuxian said angrily. It was bad enough that he had seen her naked, but now he was even flirting with her in front of her own daughter?

"Pervert? How do I resemble a pervert? Have you ever seen a pervert as handsome as me?"

As soon as Hao Jian heard this, he felt annoyed. With his good looks, did he need to stoop to being a pervert? Wouldn't that be a waste of my beauty that rivals Pan An's?

"From head to toe, you look the part!" Guo Shuxian said darkly, truly speechless at this man. It was bad enough that he was a pervert, but narcissistic too? It's true what they say – every type of bird exists in a big forest.

"Stop it!"

Che Xiaoxiao stood up and shouted, silencing both Hao Jian and Guo Shuxian.

"Xiaoxiao, you..." Guo Shuxian looked at Che Xiaoxiao in shock, unable to believe her usually well-behaved daughter would scold her.

"I invited him over. Today is my birthday, but no one was with me, so I had to ask a bunch of friends to go out and have fun. In the evening, I asked him to take me back home. He didn't do anything to me; if you don't believe me, you can take me to the hospital tomorrow to check my virginity," Che Xiaoxiao said expressionlessly.

At this, Guo Shuxian found herself at a loss for words.

After hesitating for a moment, Guo Shuxian sighed and said with some guilt,

"I'm sorry, I know I've been neglecting you, but you shouldn't be bringing a strange man into our house in the middle of the night. What if something had happened?"

"Exactly, I don't even bother to scold you, but how can you be so brainless at your age? All those years of education, were they for nothing? Didn't your teachers cover this in school? Haven't you ever heard the story of the seven little lambs and the big bad wolf?"

Hao Jian joined in the scolding of Che Xiaoxiao, but with a look of righteous indignation, "This time I'll let it slide, but don't let it happen again, okay? I am leaving now, contact me if you need anything."

With that, Hao Jian took the opportunity to stand up and prepare to slip away.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You sit down!"

Guo Shuxian shouted angrily, furious at how shameless he was. Couldn't he hear that she was talking about him? And he still had the nerve to lecture Xiaoxiao?

Hao Jian obediently sat back down, with a forced smile on his face, "I am mainly worried about getting stuck in traffic if I go back too late."

"…"

Guo Shuxian decided to ignore him and sternly said to Che Xiaoxiao, "Your mother is older than you and has seen more people. Some people may seem harmless, but they are filled with bad intentions, always thinking about luring underage girls like you."

"Me? Are you talking about me?" Hao Jian stretched out his neck like an alpaca.

"Luring? I confessed to him and he rejected me. He isn't even slightly interested in your daughter, okay?" Che Xiaoxiao said, annoyed. Guo Shuxian hadn't brought it up, but now that she did, it made Xiaoxiao feel uncomfortable all over again.

"She... She's telling the truth," Hao Jian pointed to Che Xiaoxiao and nodded earnestly, indicating his innocence to Mrs. Guo.

"Don't interrupt!"

Che Xiaoxiao and Guo Shuxian both scolded simultaneously.

"…"

Don't interrupt... Don't interrupt...

Hao Jian was screwed!

Dammit, do I owe you and your daughter or what? Hao Jian was filled with rage. What on earth was this all about?
