Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1233 - 1232: Scheming

Xiao Keyu quietly deleted the call log on his father’s phone, thinking that anyway his father wouldn’t know, so let that woman wait as much as she wants. Anyway, there won’t be any news for her.

Thinking about this, Xiao Keyu immediately felt grateful for his cleverness.

When Xiao Zhen got up and saw his son seriously doing homework in the living room, he was extremely relieved and thought that this kid had finally understood the importance of studying. It showed that his earlier education was effective, and his face immediately looked much better.

What he didn’t know was that, just a moment ago, Xiao Keyu was holding the phone in his hand, and as soon as he heard a sound, he quickly tucked the phone into his school uniform.

Acting seriously as if he was reading a book, his peripheral vision was constantly focused on Xiao Zhen. When Xiao Zhen approached, a smile quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He’s done this sort of thing many times before, often fooling teachers and classmates.

Made the teachers and classmates believe he was a good student. But after a while, they would discover his true nature.

"Doing homework here, you must keep it up like today and always study hard, understand?"

Xiao Zhen said, looking at his son’s book, and as soon as he saw it, his eyes changed. Isn’t his son reading?

But the book was upside down!

Upon hearing his father’s praise, Xiao Keyu was initially delighted, but seeing the expression on his father’s face, his heart skipped a beat.

Turning his head, he saw his book and realized he was in trouble. Just trying to act like a good student, he didn’t notice the book was upside down.

"Dad, let me explain, it’s not what it looks like. I just accidentally held the book upside down, I definitely didn’t do it on purpose..."

At this point, Xiao Zhen’s heart was very uneasy. Now his father knew, and he absolutely wouldn’t let this go. Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Zhen raised his hand and smacked Xiao Keyu on the head, and Xiao Keyu knew he couldn’t dodge, only able to keep his head down.

"I told you earlier, but you didn’t listen well, and now you’re deliberately fooling me. Do you not want to study? If you don’t want to study, then don’t bother."

Xiao Zhen was particularly angry at this time, thinking his child had finally come to his senses, not realizing he was being two-faced all along.

He even thought that at least Xiao Keyu would save him some trouble recently, but it turned out this kid wasn’t making things easy at all, even making him furious behind his back.

At this moment, Xiao Keyu was very anxious, not knowing what to do, and suddenly had a bright idea.

"Dad, actually mom called me earlier, I’m really sorry. I know I should study, but mom was crying on the phone..."

"And mom said it was because of me, otherwise you wouldn’t have divorced her. Dad, did I do something wrong, is that why you both don’t like me? If that’s the case, I’ll stop being a burden to you."

While speaking, Xiao Keyu even pretended to be choked up, causing Xiao Zhen, who was on the verge of anger, to be at a loss for words.

Seeing his son’s tears, Xiao Zhen froze, wondering if maybe his son hadn’t been lying to him just now?

Was it because Ye Jingli called? Thinking of Ye Jingli, Xiao Zhen’s head immediately started to ache again. What’s this woman up to now? Even when his son is studying well, she has to scold him?

Meanwhile, Xiao Keyu was secretly pleased, wondering why he deleted the call log earlier. If he’d known this would happen, it would’ve been better to keep the call log.

Thinking like this, Xiao Keyu immediately picked up Xiao Zhen’s phone, trembling as he handed it over to Xiao Zhen. Seeing his son so afraid of him, Xiao Zhen felt even more pained, wondering what he’d just done to his son when they were finally getting closer.

"Dad, here’s your phone. Earlier, you were asleep, and I was afraid mom’s words would upset you too much, so I hung up the call and deleted the record. I hope you don’t get angry. Why not give mom a call?"

Since Xiao Keyu understood Ye Jingli well, and a call from her would certainly not be pleasant, Xiao Keyu wasn’t worried that the truth would be revealed and actually felt a kind of gleeful satisfaction in tell-tales.

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he felt even more distressed. His son was so sensible, and he probably feared arguments with Ye Jingli, right? Thinking about this, his resentment toward Ye Jingli deepened. Why doesn’t Ye Jingli consider her son?

Living with her for so long, Ye Jingli never asked about her son, always only thinking about herself. Ye Jingli was indeed too selfish.

Thinking about this, Xiao Zhen picked up his phone to check the call log, but found none, immediately frowning. As Xiao Keyu saw this, he quickly and cleverly explained, "Mom did call earlier, but I was afraid you’d be angry, so I deleted the call log. But I promise mom did call, you can call her to verify, I’m not lying to you."

Hearing his son’s words, Xiao Zhen regretted even more how could he have doubted his own son, gently bumped his head, and finally sat beside his son on the sofa. Feeling the sofa sink a bit, Xiao Keyu stood up.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingli didn’t know what to do, but upon hearing her phone ring, she rushed over to it.

Seeing it was Xiao Zhen’s call, she immediately became angry. Well, he finally called, so now she had leverage.

Xiao Zhen hadn’t had time to speak before hearing insults from the other end.

"How dare you sleep at home and only now call? How did you instruct your son to insult me like that? That little brat mocked me. I’ve been gone so long, no respect for me, I guess he’s forgotten I’m his mom."

"There must be a mistress at your home, otherwise, why would you ignore me? Now I see, I’m irrelevant to you."

After finishing her tirade, Ye Jingli used her special skill, crying hysterically.

Xiao Zhen looked at his son beside him, noticing his wide eyes and uncertainty. With his son so close, surely he heard the words, causing Xiao Zhen to frown. How could Ye Jingli, as a mother, be so inconsiderate?

Seeing Xiao Zhen, Xiao Keyu sensibly moved a bit away; not hearing their conversation, he could already guess what they’d say.

"Dad, I’ll read over there for a bit, go talk to mom, and don’t get too angry."

Hearing his son’s words, Xiao Zhen slightly nodded, but without a reply, the accusations from the other end of the line restarted.
