Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1378 - 1377: Striving for the Future

Ye Jingli spoke very casually, but at this moment Xiao Keyi clenched her fists, not expecting the person in front of her to dare to speak about her mother like this.

As she was thinking about what to do, suddenly there was a loud bang, and Ye Jingli flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a tree and sliding down.

Even Xiao Zhen was stunned. Xu Ke quietly withdrew his foot: "A person who intervened in someone else’s marriage still thinks they’ve done something glorious and great, inserting themselves between others. It’s one thing to not be acknowledged, but to blame others when it comes to this point."

"As long as I’m here, I will never allow you to insult my aunt. And if you do something that makes Yiyi very sad, watch out for your life."

No one expected Xu Ke to act so directly, not even Xiao Zhen, who was shocked and angry afterward, because that was a woman he once had, and being bullied by Xu Ke like this was too much.

It was almost like being slapped in the face, so Xiao Zhen’s head felt like it was filled with blood, and he rushed to the reception area.

"What the hell are you doing? If anyone’s going to hit him, it should be me. What are you, daring to teach her a lesson?"

After Xiao Zhen shouted, Xiao Keyi opened her eyes wide, surprised that her father ran over again for Ye Jingli, wondering if he genuinely liked Ye Jingli from the bottom of his heart. Why over and over again in front of her?

"Dad..."

Xiao Keyi felt particularly disappointed, her face pale, realizing her father was still like this, and didn’t expect him to change anymore. Now it seemed only Xu Ke was willing to accept everything about her, while her father was willing to abandon her for another woman.

Meanwhile, Yang Shi’s eyes were complex, not expecting Xiao Zhen to repeatedly stand up for Ye Jingli in front of everyone today.

"Although I know I shouldn’t criticize you, if you’re planning to divorce, why stand by her and hurt Yiyi? Yiyi likes you so much, do you have to ruin the relationship to this extent? If you insist, I have nothing more to say, but I hope you consider your daughter."

After speaking, Yang Shi sighed, not expecting so many issues surrounding her goddaughter.

Xiao Zhen then looked at his daughter, realizing he had made a mistake, and opened his mouth.

"Dad has absolutely no feelings for her, and I’ve said I will divorce her, but I won’t let outsiders bully her, you know? Especially Xu Ke."

Xiao Zhen was rubbing his hands, anxiously explaining.

However, Xiao Keyi glared at her father, firmly grasping Xu Ke’s hand: "Dad, then I won’t let anyone bully my beloved either, so you should understand. Why come here to question me then? I’m a bit tired, I’m going back to rest."

At this moment, Xiao Zhen naturally knew his daughter was angry, definitely because of Ye Jingli, so he grabbed his household registration book to divorce her, unexpectedly causing Ye Jingli to faint publicly.

"Dad, I’ve really missed you these days, why don’t you come see me? I’ve always liked you, you have always been my dad. I’m just a child, what did I do wrong? If I did, I hope dad tells me, just don’t ignore me. If you do, I’ll be really sad."

At this opportunity, Xiao Keyu stepped forward, expressing his longing, but Xiao Zhen wasn’t in the mood to listen.

"Alright, alright, I already know that. Shouldn’t you be studying well at school now? Why keep playing outside, and you’re no longer my child. You should find out where your father is."

After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he was particularly irritable and entered the company. Today, this mockery was witnessed by everyone, and his daughter seemed unhappy, even rebellious. If the old man found out, he wouldn’t escape a scolding.

After having a meal with Xiao Keyi, Xu Ke noticed her mood improved greatly, which eased his mind.

"Honestly, I know my dad has no feelings for Ye Jingli anymore, but I really feel it’s unfair to my mom, you know? When my mom was sick, she kept hoping dad would come back, but no matter how she waited, it never happened. Even when dad did come back, he was always drunk, and at that time, dad would say hurtful things."

"Dad was extremely arrogant then, always saying to mom, ’I will never love you in this lifetime, even if you gave me a child, so what? I don’t like you, or this child.’

As she spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably. Xu Ke could feel the woman’s sadness beside him, as she leaned on his shoulder, tears dropping one by one, like falling onto his heart, making it ache terribly.

At this moment, Xiao Keyi felt immensely happy, fortunate that Xu Ke wasn’t like her father, so she could experience this kind of love. She felt she couldn’t let go, or she’d never find it again. Her light in life might disappear forever.

Xu Ke felt the sadness of the girl beside him, and gently patted her shoulder repeatedly, calming Xiao Keyi down.

"It’s all in the past now, don’t worry, I will definitely treat you well, and always work hard for our future."

"Even though your grandpa doesn’t agree now, I believe I’ll find evidence to convince him, just endure and wait for me during this period."

Xiao Keyi nodded earnestly, content with meeting such a person in her lifetime, determined to wait.

"Don’t worry, I will wait for you, and I believe nothing will separate us ever again. Also, I will never contact Su Zining again, rest assured. But you must promise never to betray me, if you do, I won’t wait for you, and I’ll never look back."

After sending Xiao Keyi home, Xu Ke continued searching for traces of Wang Cuixia, but couldn’t find anything, feeling particularly frustrated at that moment when a phone call came in.
