Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1210 - 1209: The Duped Little Lamb

"Who are you to tell me to let her go?"

After Xu Ke said this, he looked at Yu Hao’s speechless expression, and Yu Hao opened his mouth but couldn’t retort.

Yu Hao desperately looked at Xiao Keyi, hoping she would say something more, but unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Keyi was staring at Xu Ke’s chin with a focused and devout look, as if she were looking at a piece of artwork.

This kind of gaze was something Yu Hao never had, and thinking of this, he became even angrier. Why could Xu Ke get all this so effortlessly, while he had to go through so much trouble? It’s just not fair.

And speaking of status, Yu Hao was far more distinguished than Xu Ke, and he had much more money than him. So, why would Xiao Keyi choose that boy?

The more he thought about it, the more jealous he felt, and he clenched his fist tightly by his side.

"I’m her good friend, and our families have been long-time associates from our elders’ generation, so I have the right to be involved in her affairs. You are merely an employee in her family; what right do you have to touch her? I advise you to let her go immediately."

When Yu Hao said this, he felt a bit relieved. Yes, given the relationship between their families, Xiao Keyi would surely give him some face.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of security, but Xiao Keyi merely moved her eyes and, thinking of the relationship between her grandfather and the other party’s grandfather, eventually just lightly shook Xu Ke.

"Do you want to let go of me? Are you tired? If you’re tired, just let go of me; I can stand on my own."

Upon hearing Xiao Keyi’s words, Xu Ke shook his head, and seeing this, Xiao Keyi comfortably snuggled into Xu Ke’s embrace, letting the rumors fly. After all, what others say is none of her business.

But Xu Ke’s tenderness was never easy to obtain.

Thinking of this, a contented smile rose on her lips.

Watching Xiao Keyi willingly lean into this man’s arms, Yu Hao felt a sting in his eyes.

He thought it was the man deceiving Xiao Keyi, but didn’t expect Xiao Keyi was willing. Xiao Keyi had never treated him that way, and he felt a mixture of emotions, like oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar splashed in his heart.

"Yiyi, you do have a fiancé after all, and you two are still in a superior-subordinate relationship, so you shouldn’t make things like this. Besides, if your grandfather finds out, he’s likely to punish you, so you must think it through and not fall for this person’s tricks."

Having no choice, Yu Hao reminded her once more, this time involving Grandpa Xiao, hoping to suppress Xiao Keyi. But Xiao Keyi naturally figured it out, and her expression toward Yu Hao grew colder; she didn’t expect Yu Hao to be such a person.

"I’ve told you before, this has nothing to do with you, so I hope you stay out of it. As for what our relationship is, you don’t need to guess."

Hearing Xiao Keyi retort like this, Yu Hao felt extremely jealous; he couldn’t believe Xiao Keyi would treat him like this for another man.

His heart was slightly wounded, while Xu Ke, surprised by Xiao Keyi’s direct support, felt a bit moved.

Seeing he had no means left, Yu Hao decided to stay patient for now, secretly planning that although Xu Ke’s company was a subsidiary of the Xiao Group, applying some pressure wasn’t impossible.

Once Xiao Keyi saw the man’s lack of capability, she wouldn’t like him. Their decades-long relationship wouldn’t be defeated by someone she’d known for just a few months. This man simply took advantage of his absence; he was no match at all. Thinking this, Yu Hao regained his confidence.

He cast a subtle glance at Xu Ke, which nobody noticed, but Xu Ke knew it was filled with hostility.

And Xu Ke always loved challenges, so he provocatively glanced at Yu Hao, making Yu Hao even more furious, but upon seeing Xiao Keyi’s unhappiness, he had no choice but to suppress all his expressions.

Just when Yu Hao thought he couldn’t stop it all, unexpectedly, someone in the crowd shouted, "My grandfather isn’t dead yet, and someone dares mess with my god-granddaughter. Did they ask who his grandfather and god-grandfather are? Young man, you’re still too naive."

At this moment, Mr. Lan walked out, leaning on his cane. Initially, he wanted to seek Xu Ke out immediately, but seeing Yu Hao rush out improved his impression of him.

Moreover, he heard Yu Hao had always been good friends with Xiao Keyi, and now witnessing him speak up for her made his impression even better, and the fact that their families were long-time friends made Yu Hao the suitable match for Xiao Keyi.

Thinking this, he looked at Yu Hao with a better expression, however, his face hardened again when facing Xu Ke, regarding him as a vain person.

Xu Ke hadn’t expected this to alert Mr. Lan, and judging by Mr. Lan’s stance, it wasn’t looking favorable; he could lose it at any moment.

Thinking this through, he only shook his head helplessly and looked at Xiao Keyi, who didn’t expect Mr. Lan to truly intervene.

Especially considering her god-grandfather’s temper, she bit her lip and unwillingly stepped out of Xu Ke’s embrace.

Yu Hao, constantly observing Xu Ke and Xiao Keyi, felt even more pained upon noticing the reluctance on Xiao Keyi’s face. He never thought she would be so unwilling to leave that man’s arms, and for a moment, it felt like he had been lacking something vital in his life.

Seeing Xiao Keyi stepping away from Xu Ke, Mr. Lan’s temper softened, his tightly knitted brows relaxed, and he beckoned to Xiao Keyi.

"Why don’t you come over? You’ve fallen for someone’s trick without even realizing it. You’re just too naive, little girl."

Hearing Mr. Lan’s words, Xiao Keyi couldn’t help but frown,

though she knew this didn’t seem the right time to speak for Xu Ke, her heart was uneasy, and the words slipped out before she knew it.

"God-grandfather, you’re overthinking. Actually, Xu Ke has always been good, he only let me rest a bit as I was tired earlier."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lan looked at her incredulously, feeling like his granddaughter was a little lamb being led astray, and when he glanced at Xu Ke, his gaze grew even harsher.
