Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1250 - 1249: Confronting Xiao Zhen

"Although I know I shouldn’t speak, I still have to say something. If it weren’t for the president, the young lady might still be in danger now. So, all of this shouldn’t be blamed on the president."

Lan Tian couldn’t stand it any longer, so he said something to help Xu Ke. Previously, Lan Tian thought that the former chairman of Xiao Group was formidable, but it turns out that while fierce in the business world, he’s actually inferior to ordinary people in terms of social relations.

Even Xu Ke was surprised at this moment. Generally, Lan Tian cared a lot about his celebrity status and wouldn’t argue with ordinary people. For Lan Tian to get angry meant that this person had gone too far.

Even Xu Ke frowned when Xiao Zhen was speaking just now, not expecting that Xiao Zhen would blame everything on him.

At that moment, Xiao Zhen didn’t expect even a small celebrity like Lan Tian would dare to confront him, instantly feeling a loss of confidence; even his presidential superiority was suddenly struck down by these small fry.

His face instantly darkened, but although Lan Tian was scared, he didn’t regret what he had said just now.

"I know you’re angry right now, but the real culprit you should be looking for is the person who hit the young lady, not the one who saved her. How is what you’re doing any different from being unreasonable?"

Xiao Zhen suddenly stood up from his chair, glaring at Lan Tian: "Kid, no one has ever talked to me like that. If my daughter didn’t know him, would she have gone to Xiao Group’s branch? Would this have happened? You want me not to blame him, what are you thinking?"

Hearing Xiao Zhen’s words, Lan Tian was at a loss. Indeed, the young lady had come to the branch to see Xu Ke, but who could have expected such a situation?

When Xiao Zhen saw Xu Ke not speaking anymore, he thought he had gained the upper hand, raised his eyebrows, and continued, "So, now I’m just blaming him, what’s wrong with that? I haven’t even beaten him up yet. Why are you getting worked up for him?"

After hearing what Xiao Zhen said, Lan Tian thought perhaps he was meddling in others’ affairs, so he opened his mouth, looked at Xiao Zhen, and prepared to leave.

Xiao Zhen’s assistant grabbed Lan Tian.

Xu Ke glanced at Xiao Zhen and let out a cold laugh, "Now I understand why Yiyi doesn’t like you."

In fact, Xiao Zhen already felt remorse for his shortcomings toward his daughter, but for Xu Ke to point it out so bluntly was like striking directly at Xiao Zhen’s sore spot.

Xiao Zhen trembled at that moment, feeling as if someone had uncovered his scars.

"Say what you just said again to my face. Yiyi is my daughter; how could she possibly not like me?"

Seeing Xiao Zhen like this, Xu Ke wasn’t panicked at all; instead, he moved his wheelchair to Xiao Keyi’s bedside.

Xiao Zhen could only glare at this young man’s every move, frozen in place.

Xu Ke looked at the lying Xiao Keyi, whose small face had finally gained some color, but her eyes were tightly shut. Her lips were a bit dry, so he picked up the cup of water and the cotton swab next to her.

"From my observations, the kind of father Xiao Keyi wants is someone who can distinguish right from wrong, who can tell what is right and what is wrong, someone who should be the idol she looks up to. But from what I see now, you don’t fit any of this."

"Pfft!"

As soon as Xu Ke finished speaking, Xiao Zhen’s assistant couldn’t help but snicker. Did Xu Ke have to hit the nail on the head like that?

Pointing out all of Xiao Zhen’s flaws made Xiao Zhen feel utterly humiliated, and he glared at Xiao Zhen’s assistant fiercely.

But Xiao Zhen’s assistant wasn’t afraid in the slightest.

Xiao Zhen was originally a proud and arrogant person, and hearing others point out his flaws, he didn’t want to admit it at all, even believing it was just an excuse Xu Ke made up.

"You want to use these excuses to confuse me. I absolutely won’t be fooled by your excuses. Now, I ask you to leave and stop disturbing my daughter’s rest."

At this point, Xiao Zhen expressed this directly, and Lan Tian sighed, looking at Xiao Zhen’s assistant, while Xiao Zhen’s assistant recalled the old master’s words and had no choice but to continue reminding him.

"Young master, the chairman said that Xu Ke is our benefactor and should not be chased away. If you drive Xu Ke out, who knows, the old man might get angry."

Seeing Xiao Zhen about to say something, Xiao Zhen’s assistant quickly covered his mouth, "Young master, I know you’re very angry right now, but you’ve just managed to repair your relationship with the old master a bit. Do you really want to argue with the old master again? The old master’s health isn’t very good lately. If you argue with him again, I fear he might end up in the hospital."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen indeed restrained himself a little, but he couldn’t help his temper, glaring at Xu Ke as if Xu Ke were his enemy.

"Fine, for my father’s sake, I’ll let this kid in, but he absolutely cannot approach Yiyi."

By now, even the assistant was speechless. What in the world was Xiao Zhen doing? But nothing was said. At this moment, Yu Hao came in with fruit, especially seeing Xu Ke, Yu Hao clenched his fist, surprised that this kid was also here.

And as soon as Xiao Zhen saw Yu Hao, he immediately smiled.

"You’re here. I heard you returned from abroad but haven’t seen you yet. Didn’t expect to see you today. How are you doing now? I heard you’re involved in the anime and gaming industry. It seems our branch is also getting into that area."

Xiao Zhen’s attitude had a 360-degree turn, welcoming him eagerly, while Yu Hao felt particularly proud because, as a child, Uncle Xiao was always welcoming to him.

After putting down the fruit, Yu Hao deliberately looked at Xu Ke as if he were seeing him for the first time.

"Uncle Xiao, who is this? Why haven’t I seen him before?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhen showed a visible expression of disgust, "Don’t ask about him; he’s just an employee at our branch. If it weren’t for him, Yiyi wouldn’t have been hit."

"I don’t know what our old man was thinking, letting this kid come over. If it were up to me, I definitely wouldn’t let him come over. Alright, let’s not talk about him and talk about you."

After hearing Xiao Zhen say this, Xu Ke frowned. Just how big was Xiao Zhen’s grudge against him?

It seems he hadn’t done anything to offend Xiao Zhen, had he?

And Lan Tian did feel some sympathy for Xu Ke, having devoted so much yet not being worth more than a stranger. Even Lan Tian, who didn’t really follow scandals, knew that at that one banquet, Xu Ke and Yu Hao clearly met before. This Yu Hao is really good at pretending.
