Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1438: Neither of Us Should Stay Here

"I don’t know what drug is in here, that’s why I harmed the young lady. If I had known, I would rather drink it myself than let her get hurt."

After all, Wang Cuixia is just a peasant woman, so she couldn’t possibly know these things. Besides, now Wang Cuixia can’t be found, and she’s not my mother. As long as all this is blamed on her, I can get away.

But who would have thought, although Xiao Zhen usually can’t think quickly, when it comes to this matter, he’s extremely sharp, not allowing any mistakes.

"Are you still trying to deceive me now? If all this was your mother’s doing, then why did you take further actions after drugging? If you weren’t lying to me, I might still believe you. But you not only lied to me, you even tried to harm Yiyi. Do you think I would still believe you? Do you really take me, Chairman Xiao, for a fool?"

Xiao Zhen picked up his suit and left, while Su Zining immediately hit his head, wondering why he hadn’t thought of that.

At this moment, the police came over. Su Zining wanted to say something but was directly detained.

"What are you doing? I’m the son-in-law of the Xiao Group, how dare you detain me? When I get out, I will definitely report you to my father-in-law."

Su Zining struggled endlessly, and the onlookers couldn’t help but chuckle. What’s Su Zining thinking? If he were truly the Xiao Family’s son-in-law, they wouldn’t dare touch him. But now, Xiao Zhen refuses to acknowledge him. So, how can Su Zining act so arrogantly?

"Stop struggling. Your father-in-law instructed me to do all this, and with the way you treated his daughter, do you think he’ll treat you well? You can’t escape all this; you’ve brought this upon yourself, not others."

With that, the police officer turned and left, leaving Su Zining stunned. With all the charges combined, it would keep him here for quite a long time.

But now Xiao Zhen has left, and even if he wanted to explain, he couldn’t come up with anything. Had he known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have acted rashly. The outcome now is truly frustrating.

Xu Ke, following the nurse’s instructions, carefully brought food to the hospital. He was eating with Xiao Keyi when unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen returned. Xu Ke wondered if Xiao Zhen had nothing else to do.

However, when Xiao Zhen arrived, he seemed displeased with everyone, especially Xu Ke, as if Xu Ke was going to steal his daughter.

"Is there really nothing for you to do? Sticking around my daughter, having no skills whatsoever, why aren’t you rushing off to work?"

Xiao Zhen was infuriated; how could his daughter seem much closer to Xu Ke after he was gone for just a while?

This was not what he wanted to see, so Xiao Zhen directly issued an eviction order, though Xu Ke didn’t seem to take it to heart.

Xiao Zhen was puzzled. Didn’t the old man say the same thing? And when he did, Su Zining was terrified. So why, when he himself said it, did Xu Ke seem nonchalant, almost mocking?

Xiao Zhen didn’t realize that standing before him was Xu Ke, not Su Zining. These two were fundamentally different, so how could he expect the same reaction?

"Isn’t the chairman also not working? Why hurry me? Besides, your affairs should be much busier than mine. If you’re busy, I can take care of things for you. Don’t be too polite, as your employee, this is my duty."

Xiao Zhen: "..."

This tactic was supposed to deal with Xu Ke, but how did it backfire? And this kid is too slick-tongued; his shamelessness is unmatched.

Xiao Keyi watched as her father and Xu Ke engaged in an open and covert battle of words. She wasn’t worried now; if her father were truly angry, it would be much more severe.

But Xiao Zhen indeed had some helpless issues. Although he didn’t want to see this kid around, the old man hadn’t gotten up yet. So, Xiao Zhen kept delaying until dawn before calling the old man.

Upon hearing the old man was coming, he looked smugly at Xu Ke.

"I think you’ve got something to do now, and Headquarters is anxious for you to have a meeting. Come with me now, or neither of us stays here."

Xu Ke: "..."

What a cunning guy, coming up with such sneaky tricks. But what can I do? After all, he’s the chairman of Headquarters.

"Then you rest first. I’ll head back to the office to work."

Xu Ke said, feeling a bit reluctant, cherishing the time they had to spend together, though it was so brief. All because of her father, even though Xu Ke actually had no pressing work. Last night they had discussed various company proposals, mostly settled, but her father was clearly finding fault.

Her father had already compromised significantly. If she pushed him further, he might just get angry, so Xiao Keyi just rolled her eyes playfully.

"Dad, aren’t you too excessive? Obviously, you have something to do, but you dragged Xu Ke over as if you don’t want him to stay here."

Xiao Keyi pointed out, and Xiao Zhen felt a bit embarrassed. As a chairman, acting so petty is indeed inappropriate. However, he must not let this flirt hang around his daughter, so Xiao Zhen awkwardly cleared his throat.

"Well, dad has no choice, really. You always have him around, it’s not quite right for an unmarried man and woman to be together alone, it’s about your reputation. Don’t stay together anymore, besides, hurry up, Headquarters is urging."

After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he directly pushed Xu Ke out the door, and Xu Ke helplessly cast a glance at Xiao Keyi.

Originally, Xu Ke intended to come back up after Xiao Zhen left, but now it seemed Xiao Zhen had figured out his intentions, dragging him straight into the car.

"Chairman, the branch has matters too, and it’s essential I’m there. If not, why don’t you return to Headquarters alone? If you can’t drive, I can call a chauffeur for you."

Xu Ke thought of his plan, but now Xiao Zhen had wised up. How could he allow Xu Ke to return to the branch alone? This kid has too many tricks.

"No way, I said today you must come to Headquarters, you must. Besides, don’t you think Chang Jingshu and Hong Xuan are capable enough to handle the branch’s affairs? Missing you isn’t a big deal, and isn’t Headquarters still running fine without me?"

Xiao Zhen said as he watched Xu Ke warily, started the car, feeling quite pleased.
