Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1209 - 1208: The Xiao Family’s Precious Jewel

"Are you feeling unwell? Why haven’t you caught up with us? If you’re really not feeling well, we can go back. This party isn’t really necessary for us. I don’t want you to exhaust yourself."

Xu Ke’s words brought Xiao Keyi back to her senses. She looked at him with a dazed and cute expression: "I’m fine, I know my body well. I just got distracted for a moment, don’t worry about it. By the way, what were we talking about just now?"

Seeing Xiao Keyi like this, Xu Ke thought of how she had just recently taken over the company and was probably unfamiliar with many things. Together with the tasks from headquarters, it had to be more demanding than here. So he pressed his lips and glanced at Xiao Keyi.

The three people behind them looked confused, not understanding what was going on with those two, suddenly stopping like that. Weren’t they supposed to visit the lady over there? Why weren’t they moving? The lady had already turned her gaze over here.

The three didn’t dare to remind them, so they just looked around and then pretended not to see, staring at their wine glasses.

"Alright, I’m fine. Let’s go."

After Xiao Keyi spoke, she suddenly felt her body lighten. When she looked again, she found herself in Xu Ke’s arms and let out a soft gasp, drawing the attention of those nearby.

Even Yu Hao, who was mingling with the crowd, was smiling just a moment ago. But when he saw the commotion over there, and looked over, he suddenly felt a rush of anger boil up inside him.

Why was the person he cherished so much being held in Xu Ke’s arms? Especially upon seeing Xiao Keyi’s flushed face, his anger flared even more.

At this moment, Xiao Keyi obviously didn’t expect Xu Ke to pick her up in public. If she had known, she would have stopped him. After all, this was a formal party. If any rumors got out, it would surely be detrimental to her, and to the subsidiary as well.

Just as she was about to break free, she heard a warm voice from above: "Since you’re tired, just rest well and don’t move."

Xiao Keyi originally wanted to say she wasn’t tired, but upon hearing these words, she obediently didn’t move.

Even Mr. Lan in the crowd had turned his head to watch this scene. This young man didn’t seem to know the occasion. There were so many elders present, how could he do something like this? Wasn’t he considering the elders present? Moreover, those media people, their eyes were sharp like blades.

Even if this young man didn’t care about face, his granddaughter Yiyi, after all, was an unmarried maiden in the boudoir. How could she allow this young man to disrespect her? If this continued, how would Yiyi ever get married in the future?

Upon thinking of this, Mr. Lan’s face looked particularly unpleasant, and those next to him didn’t dare provoke him. They all wondered, wasn’t Mr. Lan in a good mood just a moment ago? What happened now? Did they offend Mr. Lan? What should they do?

"Mr. Lan, you don’t look well. How about we go back and rest for a bit? Don’t overstrain yourself here."

Mr. Lan’s assistant immediately asked for his opinion. Mr. Lan hadn’t lost his temper in a long time, and if he did so now, it could ruin the purpose of this trip.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lan glared at his assistant: "Rest, rest. I’ve been resting for half a year. I, an old man, have almost developed bedsores just sitting around. I might as well find a coffin to bury myself in. And you still ask me to rest? Get out of my way."

At this, the assistant quickly stepped aside, thinking to himself, who was so unwise to offend Mr. Lan? And why was Mr. Lan, a lively person, bringing up such ominous topics?

Seeing these events, the journalists felt they had stumbled upon big news. They all immediately raised their cameras, as they’d been struggling to find a big story that evening, and now it had just surfaced.

Moreover, they saw the focal point of the evening, Yu Hao, also heading that way. Could it be that Yu Hao was entangled in some unclear relations with those two? Immediately, the journalists concocted a metropolitan drama in their minds.

"Hurry, hurry, find us a spot quickly. Once we have a good spot, we’ll have our evening content. Miss this, and it won’t be easy to find another story."

"Hey, you over there, move aside. We got this spot first. How can you steal someone else’s spot? We move in the same circle, don’t go too far."

"Is this spot marked as belonging to your family? Obviously, it’s free for all. Your press can’t be too excessive. Everyone should get their share of the news this time."

Just to capture this news, the journalists started a noisy argument among themselves. However, everyone still managed to shoot the news clearly.

Meanwhile, Yu Hao appeared calm, but he was actually extremely nervous. He couldn’t believe this man dared to leave holding the woman he cherished for so many years. How could this be? If he didn’t assert his position now, it might be too late later. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

"Mr. Xu, please wait a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

Realizing he couldn’t catch up with Xu Ke, Yu Hao shouted. His voice was particularly loud, and everyone present heard it, including Xu Ke, who slightly turned his head.

"Is there something you need? If not, we’ll be leaving now, not to disturb everyone’s fun."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hao became even more annoyed, especially hearing the ’we’ in his tone. Since when did this man and Xiao Keyi become so familiar, that he could refer to them as ’we’?

In Yu Hao’s view, it was merely a master and subordinate relationship. Now Xu Ke was clearly stepping out of line, which made Yu Hao see him as overly ambitious, wanting to expose Xu Ke’s true face even more.

Feeling that Xiao Keyi was being deceived, he stepped forward with the air of a Justice Envoy, pointing at Xu Ke and angrily saying: "Sir, I find your actions very inappropriate. We all know that Xiao Keyi is the treasured daughter of the Xiao Family, lovingly held by Mr. Xiao himself. Your actions now are disrespectful to her, I advise you to put her down."

Although Yu Hao was very angry at the moment, seeing the surrounding crowd’s eager expressions, he could only swallow his temper and speak patiently.

Hearing these words, Xu Ke couldn’t help but scoff. This man was trying to leverage his status to pressure him, but Xu Ke feared nothing less than using status to intimidate. No matter how high your status, in front of me, you’re insignificant.
