Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1213 - 1212: Promise

But since what’s not supposed to be said has already been spoken, there’s no reason to turn back now, so Mr. Lan slightly nodded his head.

"Young man, since you’re so determined, I can only agree with you."

However, Xiao Keyi was a little anxious. How could Grandpa Lan argue with Xu Ke?

At this moment, Yu Hao was extremely happy. This young man really is like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, tackling an industry that’s in a downturn and virtually unsalvageable.

Even back in school, professors said he was a rare business genius, but it would still take at least three years to see any progress in this industry.

Seeing results within six months in this industry is absolutely impossible; this young man is too eager for quick success, setting himself up for too high a demand. Just wait, when he falls, it will hurt a lot.

Maybe this young man is just being defiant, Yu Hao thought sarcastically, saying, "Since you want to save face now, I’ll give you some face. Let’s see what kind of results you can achieve in six months."

When Yu Hao said all this, it seemed like he was giving Xu Ke a way out, but his words were full of mockery. Yu Hao thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, Xu Ke just smiled lightly at Yu Hao.

"This is a bet between me and Mr. Lan, I don’t need you to save face for me. You better mind your own face, don’t let it get lost one day."

After Xu Ke finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Keyi and left. At this time, Xiao Keyi was dumbfounded, not expecting Xu Ke to have such a domineering side, although she had seen it in the company before, that was towards the employees, wasn’t it?

Unexpectedly, he was also so decisive with these partners. How will they cooperate in the future?

Thinking of this, she regretted not stopping Xu Ke just now.

Meanwhile, Yu Hao never expected that Xu Ke would directly retort, and so beautifully.

"I thought it was impossible in three years, and didn’t expect him to want to achieve everything in six months. He must be thinking too simply, believing that subduing a Light and Shadow Company would be enough. If anime games were so simple, wouldn’t Light and Shadow Company have done it themselves already, without needing him?"

"It’s said that only those with no knowledge think business is easy. Right now, he’s being roasted over the fire, so he pretends to have some dignity. After six months, he’ll have to show his true skills."

"Six months, the goddess will be forced to be with that little brat for six months, which pains my heart."

At this point, Yu Hao watched the direction where the two people left, gritting his teeth. His assistant reminded him quickly; if the surrounding reporters captured this moment, wouldn’t it affect the company’s image?

Yu Hao glanced faintly at his assistant, then continued socializing with the people around him. Hearing their compliments brightened his mood; Xu Ke couldn’t possibly have these praises, only having Xiao Keyi backing him up. But why did the thought of that brat having Xiao Keyi’s support infuriate him?

"Yu Hao, right? Didn’t expect you to become more outstanding over the years abroad. I’ve been observing you as an uncle, and you truly are something, having your father’s demeanor from back then."

At this moment, a familiar uncle brought his daughter to Yu Hao, exchanging toasts with each other. Yu Hao also reciprocated, thinking to himself that the resources he had now were certainly unattainable for Xu Ke.

When Yu Hao stepped outside, he could finally breathe some fresh air. Although there were many people inside and more development opportunities, the smell of cosmetics and alcohol was too strong, along with the scent of money on these people.

Meanwhile, behind Xu Ke stood Xiao Keyi, looking at Xu Ke’s robust figure, feeling a bit reassuring.

"Why not go? If you go, there would actually be more opportunities. Don’t sacrifice it for me."

As Xiao Keyi said these words, her heart was a bit uneasy. She feared Xu Ke would say it wasn’t all for her, but unexpectedly, Xu Ke breathed out, turned his head, and beckoned to Xiao Keyi. Upon seeing this gesture, Xiao Keyi immediately walked over to stand by his side.

Looking at the beautiful girl beside him, Xu Ke felt his mood slightly improve. Being looked down upon was something from three to four years ago, but unexpectedly, such things still happened now. Only now was his heart much calmer, realizing that only by achieving results could he silence those who belittle him.

"Since you’re tired and came to the subsidiary for me, not attending this social event for you is fine. After all, without this event, the partnerships we’re meant to have will still exist, not in this clashing of glasses."

Listening to Xu Ke’s words, Xiao Keyi felt a little dazed. Those heirs she used to know all needed to make their appearances at such banquets, but the person in front of her said he didn’t need these to consolidate his status, maybe that’s real strength.

"Actually, I..."

Xiao Keyi wanted to explain something, but Xu Ke signaled her to be a little quieter. After getting into the car, Xiao Keyi indeed felt a bit tired and dozed off leaning against him.

The only comfort Xu Ke had now was that in the face of storms, Xiao Keyi was still standing by his side. At this moment, he truly realized how precious this little woman beside him was.

Only now did he feel that time was peaceful. As for the fiancé that Xiao Keyi worried about, Xu Ke also figured it out. Isn’t he the so-called fiancé? Once he achieves some results in six months, he will definitely announce everything.

When it was time to get off the car, Xiao Keyi woke up, finding herself lying on Xu Ke’s shoulder, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"I’m so sorry, I accidentally dozed off on your shoulder. If convenient, could you give me the jacket? I’ll take it home, wash it, and personally bring it back to you."

Looking at the wrinkled suit she had slept on, Xiao Keyi felt quite embarrassed, but Xu Ke casually patted it off. It’s just a suit, besides, it was bought by Xiao Keyi for him.

"It’s nothing, after all, when I get back, I’m going to change this suit anyway. It’ll be dry cleaned later, so you don’t need to do anything. You should hurry back, or else your grandfather might worry."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyi could only nod, thinking about how she left her grandfather unattended tonight, and she felt a bit scared. If her grandfather found out she came here, wouldn’t he vent his anger on Xu Ke?

"If my grandfather asks, just say you knew nothing today, and please do not answer anything else."
