Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Lin Mengchen

Xu Ke knew immediately that these people were not following him wholeheartedly like Xu Jie, so he didn’t plan to use gentle methods to tame them. He opened emphatically, suppressing the entire scene to let them know his power. But Xu Ke understood that such a display was not enough; no matter how firm the stance, it could only maintain control temporarily. To truly subdue them, he needed to take action.

Xu Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind already forming a plan, while the others only felt a momentary chill in the air, making them more unconsciously respectful of Xu Ke.

Breaking free from his thoughts, Xu Ke looked up at the few people opposite him and continued, "I’ve only heard your company’s name, now let’s talk about the general situation. Start with you, one by one." Xu Ke pointed casually to Tian Li on the far left of the sofa, speaking coldly.

Tian Li was chilled by the cold aura Xu Ke exuded, and after organizing his thoughts, he began to speak slowly. Xu Ke leaned back on the sofa, listening quietly, occasionally asking a few questions. During this time, the room was so silent that even though they were in a KTV club box, with the homepage of a karaoke machine still illuminated on the big screen, Xu Ke still created an effect akin to a conference room.

When Tian Li’s voice grew hoarse and Xu Ke had learned almost what he wanted, he said, "Alright, next one."

Thus, three people in a row spoke, and over three hours passed. The usually pampered individuals felt sore all over, yet with Xu Ke in front of them, they had no choice but to bear it. "Alright, let’s take a break for a while. We’ll continue later." Just as Sun Lei finished and the next person was about to speak, Xu Ke said.

After speaking, Xu Ke strode out on his long legs, leisurely strolling outside, as he was also feeling a bit stuffy having stayed inside for too long.

As Xu Ke was walking, a familiar female voice suddenly called from behind, "Hey, you there in front, stop and give me your phone number."

Xu Ke frowned, continuing to move forward as if he hadn’t heard anything. His actions caused those following Lin Mengchen for entertainment to burst out laughing, making Lin Mengchen’s face flush with anger and embarrassment. "Hey, I’m talking to you, are you deaf?"

She had come to attend a classmate’s birthday party today and had lost a round of truth or dare. She was sent out to get the contact details of the first person she met. Her looks were considered top in her class, so she was quite confident with this punishment. She didn’t believe anyone could turn her down. Who would have thought this person was so unaware, almost unconsciously rushing over, wanting to grab Xu Ke’s arm and stop him from continuing forward.

Apart from Lin Mengyao and the deceased Grandfather Lin, Xu Ke disliked everyone from the Lin Family, and he was particularly intolerant of their touch. So when he heard the footsteps behind getting closer, without thinking, he shifted to avoid Lin Mengchen’s outstretched hand, simultaneously exposing his face to her.

Lin Mengchen’s angry expression turned to shock upon seeing Xu Ke’s face. Her first instinct was to wonder how Xu Ke could be here, but she quickly dismissed that thought. There was no way that penniless loser Xu Ke could be in such an upscale place, let alone be wearing an Armani custom suit. This certainly wasn’t Xu Ke; they just happened to look alike.

After denying to herself that the person in front of her was Xu Ke, Lin Mengchen couldn’t help but come up with a thought: This guy looks so much like Xu Ke, yet is miles better than him. If she could win him over, would that mean Lin Mengyao would always be a step underneath her? The more Lin Mengchen thought about it, the more she convinced herself it was true, and her gaze at Xu Ke turned burning.

Xu Ke was sickened by Lin Mengchen’s gaze and furrowed his brows tightly. Seeing that she hadn’t recognized him, he pretended not to know her, planning to leave, but was unexpectedly blocked by Lin Mengchen again.

"Let go!" Xu Ke glared at the piece of clothing Lin Mengchen was holding, speaking in an icy tone.

"Can you give me your contact information?" Lin Mengchen lowered her head, exposing her fair neck to Xu Ke, her fingers tightly gripping Xu Ke’s sleeve, her toes slowly spinning on the ground, exuding a sweet shyness.

At this moment, the classmates who had followed behind Lin Mengchen to watch the show also approached. From before, they had only seen Xu Ke’s back and found his body proportion perfect and wondered what kind of face would match such a build. They worried he might just be a back-view killer. However, when they got closer and saw Xu Ke’s face, they were all stunned.

"I told you to let go." Xu Ke said coldly, his expression darker than ever, almost gloomy enough to drip water.

Xu Ke’s icy voice brought those immersed in his stunning looks back to reality, while Lin Mengchen’s previously coy expression turned pale. She looked up in disbelief at Xu Ke. She had always been confident in her appearance and presumed that her gesture would make the opposing party at least like her if not fall for her. Who’d have thought he would coldly tell her to release him!

"What did you say?" Lin Mengchen stared directly at Xu Ke’s eyes, questioning him.

This time, Xu Ke didn’t bother speaking to Lin Mengchen, directly flinging her hand off, not sparing a glance even when she almost lost her balance, her face paling. He instead took off his jacket and tossed it into the trash bin in the hallway. His disdain was evident without needing words to convey.

Lin Mengchen bit her lip hard, her eyes welling with tears, wrapped in a massive sense of humiliation, her shoulders trembling pitifully.

The classmates who followed Lin Mengchen out were more than satisfied after witnessing a drama like this. The girls among them couldn’t help but continue sneaking glances at Xu Ke’s face, but all thoughts of romance vanished upon meeting the cold, icy eyes behind his glasses. Instead, they focused on watching Lin Mengchen’s embarrassment. noveldrama

Lin Mengchen, with her pretty face, often acted like a cunning white lotus to seduce the boys in their class, much to the other girls’ disgust. Seeing her suffer now truly delighted them, thinking it was worth coming today.

The girls mostly rejoiced in her misfortune, but the boys, seeing Lin Mengchen in such a hurt and vulnerable state, felt pity. Yet, constrained by Xu Ke’s overwhelming presence, none dared to step forward to defend Lin Mengchen. Just when everyone thought the matter would end there, the host of the birthday party, who had always fancied Lin Mengchen, Tian Long, stepped out.
