Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1274 - 1273: Exposing Xiao Keyu’s True Colors

"Besides, even if we wait a few more days for your condition, your family will still need to come and take you home. Oh right, I also have to tell you, your medical fees still haven’t been paid, so we need your family to come over and pay them."

The old doctor heard the intern speak and could only sigh that this intern was really too young. When the time came, couldn’t they just ask the Xiao Family for the money?

When Ye Jingli heard what the intern said, she panicked completely and tried to grab the intern’s clothes. Seeing her like this, how would the intern dare let her grab him? He quickly took a step back.

"I’m telling you, don’t you dare think about extorting me. I’m just an intern doctor."

After the intern finished speaking, he seemed to be frightened himself and hurriedly backed away to catch up with the old doctor. Ye Jingli was in utter despair, sitting on the bed and crying in sorrow.

The onlookers felt complicated watching this. If you said Ye Jingli had it coming, she indeed had it coming, but to end up like this still felt too miserable. Why wouldn’t she just stay properly as the Young Mistress of the Xiao Family? Why did she have to provoke the Finance Department Director?

The nurse in charge of gathering information saw how things were and suddenly felt this spectacle was really too much. She decided not to watch any further; better to leave early. Otherwise, if she stayed here, there would definitely be a lot of gossip.

After the nurse went back, she told Xiao Keyi the whole story exactly as it happened. Xiao Keyi hadn’t expected that because of this, Ye Jingli was already on the verge of collapse. But none of this was something Xiao Keyi could save; after all, it was all caused by Ye Jingli herself.

"She could’ve just been a proper Young Mistress of the Xiao Family. Even if the Xiao Family doesn’t acknowledge her, at least she’s still the Young Mistress in name, and everyone treats her with respect on the surface. How could she be so stupid as to hook up with some outsider? I’m afraid that green hat on the Chairman’s head is never coming off now."

After saying that, Xiao Keyi flicked the nurse’s forehead. "You’re my nurse, aren’t you? How come you’re still defending her? Alright, cut it out and go prepare some milk for me. I’ve suddenly really been craving milk lately."

That night, after Xiao Zhen came home and finished dinner, he was about to go back to his room, but he saw a small figure crouched at the corner of the wall, secretly watching him. Thinking that this child wasn’t his biological son, Xiao Zhen didn’t know what he was feeling inside.

When Xiao Keyu saw that his father had finally turned around and looked at him, joy flashed in his heart. He quickly did as he had planned and walked out. "Dad, you finally came to see me. I’m so happy. But Dad, why haven’t you come for so long? Is it because you don’t like me anymore? I’ll definitely study hard."

Seeing that Xiao Zhen still didn’t make any move and just kept looking at him, Xiao Keyu grew even more flustered.

"Dad, you haven’t come for so many days. Do you know how much I miss you?"

Xiao Zhen stared fixedly at this so-called son of his and, for the first time, felt a kind of exhaustion. "Enough, I still have things to do. I’m leaving first. You study hard on your own."

Seeing this, how could Xiao Keyu dare let Xiao Zhen go? These past few days, once the servants found out his mother had hooked up with the Finance Department Director, the way they looked at him completely changed, and they no longer showed him any kindness.

If he didn’t latch onto Xiao Zhen, he probably wouldn’t have any status at home in the future, and he might even be bullied by those people. Thinking of this, Xiao Keyu didn’t dare let go at all.

Looking at the hands wrapped around his waist, Xiao Zhen didn’t know whether he should pull them away. But his rational mind told him: this is someone else’s child, so why should he feel even a shred of pity?

He forcefully pried open Xiao Keyu’s arms around his waist. Xiao Keyu panicked even more but didn’t dare rush up again, only clutching his own hands and tugging at them helplessly.

"You like playing on your phone so much; you must’ve seen the news online. Your mother betrayed me, and the child in her belly isn’t mine, so you should think about whether you’re actually my child or not."

Xiao Zhen knew saying this to a child was very cruel, but he really didn’t want to be entangled with Xiao Keyu anymore, so this was the only way. Xiao Keyu blinked; it seemed his father really was going to abandon him.

Tears instantly streamed down. He didn’t want to give up the glory and wealth of the Xiao Family. If he lost this, he might never find such a life again. So he fell to his knees.

"Dad, this really isn’t my fault. I don’t have the right to choose how I was born. If I could, I’d want to be your son forever. But none of this is up to me. I’m begging you, don’t take it all out on me, okay?"

"If I really am not your son, then Dad, please believe me, I’ll still be filial to you like a son. I’ll never make you angry. I’m begging you, don’t be so cold to me, alright?"

Hearing Xiao Keyu’s words, Xiao Zhen let out a cold laugh, his face full of mockery. "If you really saw me as your father, you wouldn’t have bullied your sister like that. You think I didn’t see the surveillance footage? Ever since your sister had that accident, I carefully watched all the surveillance at home. Have you forgotten? Our house is voice-controlled."

"I never expected you to be just as vicious as your mother. I’d even felt a bit of pity for you before, but after watching that footage, I think the two of us really can’t live under the same roof."

After he finished, Xiao Zhen took a deep breath. Since he’d already torn this veil open, there was absolutely no way to paste it back together.

"So pack your things now. When your mother wakes up, you can leave with her. Oh, and the divorce between your mother and me will be carried out immediately. I hope you prepare yourself mentally."

Now truly terrified, Xiao Keyu thought that if he had to leave the Xiao Family and follow that woman, she definitely wouldn’t treat him well. That woman had just lost her child, and besides, he had never treated her very well before. So he absolutely couldn’t leave the Xiao Family.

"Dad, after all these years, do you really not have even a trace of feeling for me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen shook his head, utterly exhausted. "Enough, don’t ask. I really don’t have a shred of feeling left. Even my beloved daughter, you two dared to torment like that. What feelings could I still have for you?"

"You two had better reflect on yourselves and never come out to harm people again."

With that, Xiao Zhen turned and left. Xiao Keyu sat on the floor crying for a long time, then finally remembered that he would have to leave sooner or later anyway. He might as well take some things from the Xiao Family first; otherwise, he’d have no money once he was out.

Now that even Xiao Zhen was this cold to him, it was impossible to expect anyone else to keep him.
