Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1272 - 1271: Truly Retribution

This woman is truly something. I finally managed to get out for once, but she dared to stand me up. It’s utterly outrageous. Given this, why should I even talk to her about this matter? Might as well go back to sleep; there are still many qualifying matches I haven’t played yet.

Thinking about the game later, Xiao Keyu went straight home. But when he got home, just as he was about to start gaming, the servants were whispering among themselves while looking at him.

Feeling fed up with everything, Xiao Keyu grabbed a servant.

"What exactly are you guys saying behind my back? If you don’t explain it today, none of you should expect to make it out alive."

The servant, seeing Xiao Keyu so angry, wasn’t as brave as the butler and stammered: "We just saw the news. Apparently something happened to the Young Lady, and it seems like she had a miscarriage."

Originally, they thought Xiao Keyu would be furious and cry upon hearing this, but unexpectedly, Xiao Keyu laughed out loud at the sky when he heard the news.

The servants were all dumbfounded at this. Could it be that Xiao Keyu went mad from the shock? Nervously, they dispersed like birds and beasts, fearing Xiao Keyu might lash out at them and implicate them as well, so none dared to approach him.

"Didn’t expect this woman to face such retribution; it’s truly satisfying. Once she dies, there will be no evidence left. What can these people do with a kid like me? They’d have no choice but to keep me."

Thinking about this calmed Xiao Keyu a lot, even wishing for the woman’s death so he could garner everyone’s sympathy. Even if the Xiao Family abandoned him, they’d have to care for him due to societal pressure.

The servants looking at Xiao Keyu suddenly felt he must be crazy, to curse his own mother like that. The butler, however, chuckled, thinking Ye Jingli had indeed raised an enemy.

But when the butler wanted to discuss the matter, he noticed the old master was reading the newspaper, so he quietly approached. The old master had already noticed the butler’s movements, surprised that the butler hadn’t changed since his younger days, never interrupting him while reading.

"Alright, old friend, just say what’s on your mind. Why are you hiding from me? You’re not the type to do so, how come you’re acting like this now? You’re actually making me angry."

The butler scratched his head, surprised the old master caught on so quickly. Nonetheless, this matter couldn’t be kept from the old master for long.

So the butler immediately took out his phone: "Old master, when you get angry later, please don’t throw my phone; it’s new. If you break it, you’ll have to compensate me. Also, don’t let it affect your health."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Xiao thought that something happened to Xiao Keyi. So he quickly took the phone and read the article from start to finish, then chuckled coldly, not getting angry at all.

The butler was startled by this; for Old Master, reputation was everything. Hadn’t Ye Jingli already tarnished the Xiao Family’s name? Why was Old Master laughing? What was he happy about?

"Since she dares to act like this, she must bear the consequences. And Zhang Shuai isn’t someone easily deceived. When a person is pushed to the edge, even a rabbit will bite. So, Ye Jingli got her comeuppance."

Back then, he thought the woman was greedy, but didn’t expect she’d be greedy enough to cuckold her own son and owe so many outsiders.

This time, they couldn’t even save the child, but Old Master Xiao didn’t care about the child. Perhaps the child wasn’t even his grandson. Nothing to look forward to.

"So, what should we do now, Grandfather? Should we send someone to check on the young master? Maybe he’s really upset right now."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Xiao waved his hand immediately: "Why bother with that brat? He brought this upon himself, insisting on marrying that woman. As for this matter, let’s leave him to deal with it, see how he wishes to handle it."

"I haven’t seen my dear granddaughter for a few days now, so let’s head out today to visit her. Maybe she’s somewhere sulking at me for not visiting."

Meanwhile, when Xu Ke saw the news, he certainly didn’t expect himself—the Finance Department Director—would have connections to Ye Jingli, let alone such disgraceful dealings. It’s truly surprising. Just wonder what expression Xiao Keyi would have hearing this news.

The new Finance Department Director, Zhu Ya, was reporting to Xu Ke. Seeing his smile, she felt a chill and quickly lowered her head to continue reporting. Unexpectedly, Xu Ke handed her his phone, making Zhu Ya’s heart race, fearing Xu Ke might fire her.

"President, if there’s anything I’ve done wrong, please tell me; don’t hesitate. But please don’t fire me; I can change anything and endure hardships."

Xu Ke shook his head hearing Zhu Ya’s anxious tone, realizing she must’ve suffered a lot at the Zhang Family, forming a habit of apologizing naturally.

Zhu Ya waited for Xu Ke’s forgiveness, but when it didn’t come, she raised her head and saw Xu Ke deep in thought, intrigued: "President, I’ve worked hard during this period. If you think it’s not enough, you can check my progress and give me more time."

Only after hearing Zhu Ya did Xu Ke realize, shaking his head, frightening Zhu Ya more.

"Alright, your ability is flawless, and the work reports have been excellent. But what I’m showing you is this news; are you sure you don’t want to see it? It concerns your ex-husband."

Upon Xu Ke’s words, Zhu Ya gasped in shock, quickly grabbing his phone, etiquette forgotten. After finishing the news, she let out a breath of disbelief.

"Oh my, I didn’t expect him to be so bold, even daring to seduce the Young Master’s Young Mistress. This is unforgivable; thankfully, heaven’s eyes are open now, else this shameless man wouldn’t get the punishment he deserves."

"Moreover, that shameless man cuckolded the Young Master, so he probably doesn’t have a chance to bounce back now. It’s truly satisfying."
