Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Xu Jie

"What are you doing here?" Xu Jie, dressed in a bright red long gown and silver high heels, walked over and stood between Xu Ke and the man. She took off her sunglasses from the bridge of her nose with hands adorned with red nails and looked at the man with cold eyes. noveldrama

"I just heard someone say they were going to call the police. What are you calling the police for, who are you trying to catch?" Xu Jie came to Xu Ke’s side, extending her hand to link arms with Xu Ke. She looked at the people present with a cold and sharp gaze, asking coolly.

The appearance of Xu Jie and her gesture of linking arms with Xu Ke instantly plunged the store into an eerie silence. Even the man who was just howling bit down hard, locking all sounds in his throat as cold sweat slowly rolled down his trembling face.

Everyone present looked at Xu Jie, then at Xu Ke, and finally fixed their gaze on the two of them linked together. They recalled the words they had just used to ridicule Xu Ke, and their faces turned pale instantly. Especially the woman who had said she was going to call the police earlier; at this moment, her legs were so soft they felt like they were trembling uncontrollably.

The woman with the high ponytail deeply regretted her earlier, clever decision and even wished she could go back in time to slap her earlier blabbermouth self to death. They didn’t know who Xu Ke was, but they were very clear about who Xu Jie was. Xu Jie had never had any intimate contact with the opposite sex in any public setting, and Xu Ke was the first, which indicated that their relationship was not ordinary.

Recalling what the man said just now, the woman with the high ponytail had a bold guess in her heart. Xu Ke looked so good, he might be Xu Jie’s lover. What if Xu Jie found out what she had just said about Xu Ke?

There weren’t many fools who couldn’t read the situation among those who could do sales. The others present had the same suspicion as the woman with the high ponytail and their faces looked even worse at the moment. They, such insignificant people, couldn’t afford Xu Jie’s wrath.

The shop assistants, while despising Xu Ke’s status as a lover in their hearts, started to apologize. The speed at which the woman with the high ponytail apologized matched the speed at which she fawned, also being the fastest among the people present. She made a perfect ninety-degree bow towards Xu Ke and Xu Jie’s direction with a flattering smile, saying, "I didn’t know your identity just now and spoke out of line. Please don’t take it to heart, just treat me like a fart, hear it and forget it."

"It’s I who lacked foresight, please be magnanimous and don’t stoop to the level of people like me," the woman with wavy hair inwardly cursed her speed being inadequate but wore a look of remorse and flattery. As she spoke words of apology, she slapped her own mouth, but the woman obviously used a bit of cleverness; the sound was loud, but it didn’t hurt when she hit herself. Xu Ke didn’t bother to argue since the message was conveyed.

Those who had disrespected Xu Ke in their words earlier seemed to have triggered a switch, following the wavy-haired woman’s actions, slapping their own mouths while speaking words of disturbance, hoping Xu Ke would be lenient and plead with Xu Jie for mercy on their behalf.

Xu Jie quietly looked at Xu Ke’s face, seeing that he had no intention of pressing the issue. She spoke coldly, "I don’t want this kind of thing to happen again. If it happens again, it won’t be so easy to talk about."

"Absolutely, it won’t happen again," the wavy-haired woman hurriedly said ahead of the high ponytail woman.

On the other side, the man who had been squeezed aside since Xu Jie came in finally broke through the obstacles to arrive in front of Xu Jie. Enduring the pain from his wrist, he greeted Xu Jie, "President Xu, I’m Zhao Tianrui from Ming Tian Real Estate. I’ve never had the chance to visit you before. I didn’t expect to meet you here today, I’m truly overwhelmed." Zhao Tianrui tried hard to leave a good impression on Xu Jie, but the pain from his injury made the smile halfway up his face freeze, adding a few more twists to his expression.

The man glared at Xu Ke viciously while covering his wound. In his mind, Xu Ke was nothing more than a man who married into wealth without achievements. Despite Xu Jie’s actions in standing up for Xu Ke, he didn’t think much of the significance, so he completely disregarded Xu Ke, despising him as a kept man of a wealthy family. Thus, he didn’t hide his dissatisfaction with Xu Ke in front of Xu Jie.

"Your pet is a bit unruly, hitting me like this upon meeting, which is really not appropriate," Zhao Tianrui said, his face jiggling with fat.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Xu Jie looked at the man in front of her, who was starting to sow discord right in front of the concerned parties, with a strange gaze. She labeled him as an idiot in her heart. His actions of trying to make a case for himself without confirming if the other party was someone he could provoke seemed like courting death to Xu Jie.

Zhao Tianrui failed to see the deeper meaning in Xu Jie’s eyes and instead thought she was interested in what he said, quickly speaking up, "A pet should be tame and well-behaved. If you like this type, I know people in this line of work who can introduce you and ensure they’re more considerate than the current one." The man revealed a knowing expression he assumed Xu Jie understood, only to see her sneer coldly in her heart.

"Who do you think you are, daring to critique me? Wasn’t the earlier lesson enough?"

"President Xu, did you see? He dares to threaten me right in front of you. Who knows how he struts around in your name behind your back, tarnishing your reputation? He shouldn’t be by your side." The man pointed at Xu Ke and said to Xu Jie.

"Who do you think you are, what right do you have to criticize me? Are you worthy?" Xu Ke looked down at Zhao Tianrui with a nonchalant face, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"President Xu, look..."

"Look at what? I think he’s right, do you have any objections?" Xu Jie looked at Zhao Tianrui with a smirk on her face.

Seeing Xu Jie’s expression, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Tianrui. His brain, dulled by pain, finally started processing. Seeing Xu Jie explicitly siding with Xu Ke, what wasn’t clear anymore? He feared he had poked a hornet’s nest and was courting his own doom.

"I was wrong." Zhao Tianrui slapped his undamaged hand to his cheek, making such a move in front of so many people. Despite his thick skin, he couldn’t help blushing a bit at this moment. Those who were somewhat indignant in their hearts finally felt more balanced seeing Zhao Tianrui’s performance.
