Chapter 142

C142 – You Are Really Despicable

Xu Jia Rong was left reeling from Hao Jian’s slap!

With a look of utter injustice on her face, Xu Jia Rong faced the furious glare of Hao Jian.

“Director Hao, why did you hit me?”

Suddenly, the atmosphere took an unexpected turn.

Hao Jian blatantly disregarded Xu Jia Rong’s evident distress, shamelessly ingratiating himself before the astonished onlookers.

Like a fawning dog, he bent over with a sycophantic smile, approaching Jiang Hao.

“Sir, I’m so sorry, truly sorry. It was my own foolishness for underestimating you!”

While speaking, he dragged the bewildered Xu Jia Rong over.

“And her, it’s all her fault, this madwoman!”

In that moment, Hao Jian realized that if it hadn’t been for this vain woman causing trouble, he wouldn’t have taken a stand for her and ended up offending such an important figure.

The more he dwelled on it, the angrier he got. He lashed out, delivering another harsh slap to Xu Jia Rong’s lovely face, and barked at her coldly.

“You wretch, apologize to this gentleman immediately and beg for his forgiveness, or I won’t let you off the hook!”

Xu Jia Rong, having been slapped twice by Hao Jian for no apparent reason, was seething with rage and on the verge of exploding.

But when she locked eyes with Hao Jian’s icy stare, she quickly came to her senses.

Seeing this, Xu Jia Rong quickly followed suit, dropping to her knees in imitation.

The spectacle left onlookers torn between laughter and sympathy.

Even Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel repulsed by Hao Jian’s over-the-top performance.

He hadn’t anticipated the card Xue Zixi gave him to be this effective!

In a panic, realizing his act hadn’t swayed Jiang Hao, Hao Jian scrambled toward him, attempting to embrace his legs in a desperate appeal.

Jiang Hao swiftly intervened.

“Enough, enough, enough!”

Hao Jian looked up, hopeful, while Jiang Hao regarded the pair with sheer revulsion.

“Cut the act!

I’m letting this slide, but don’t try my patience any further.

Take this woman and scram!”

Overcome with relief, Hao Jian and Xu Jia Rong eagerly expressed their gratitude.

“Thank you, sir. Thank you!”

They quickly got to their feet and slinked away, disappearing into the crowd.

Jiang Hao watched them go, shaking his head in disdain.

“Hao Jian, Hao Jian, truly the lowest of the low!”
