Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Breaking In

"Hit me? Why wouldn’t I hit you? If you’re so tough, stand right there and don’t move. Just wait for me." Realizing that he couldn’t get justice for Lin Mengchen on his own, Tian Long decided to call home and ask them to send a few people over.

"I’ve run into some trouble, send a few strong guys to the Emperor Club, the toughest ones." Tian Long dialed a number and said, then hung up and looked at Xu Ke, "You’ll see."

"I’m at 306, your people can come find me there." Only a fool would stick around waiting for backup, and it’s not like he had nothing else to do. Xu Ke turned and suavely walked towards 306, thinking as he went. The crowd that had gathered parted like a tide as Xu Ke passed, clearing a path for him and watching as he entered 306.

"This guy is just too handsome." Someone in the crowd let out a soft sigh, instantly heating up the tense atmosphere.

"Oh my god, I’ve fallen in love. Where did this god come from, fighting handsomely as well? Oh mom, I want to marry him."

The girls in the crowd were particularly noisy, and their voices were unanimously lovestruck. Even the usually quiet and composed girls blushed with excitement, discussing Xu Ke with bright eyes alongside their friends.

"I can’t believe he brought down Tian Long with just a few moves, this guy is incredible."

"It feels like watching a movie. How could Tian Long be defeated so easily? I must be dreaming, pinch me awake."

"Slap!" A loud sound of a slap broke the hushed conversations, "Are you awake now? Need me to slap you again?" The boy who had slapped raised his hand and asked.

"No need, I’m awake now." said the slapped boy, holding his face in a daze.

The girls’ adoration and the boys’ admiration made Lin Mengchen and Tian Long’s faces exceptionally ugly, while Xu Ke had returned to the room. Xu Jie’s gaze flitted over Xu Ke, noticing he wasn’t wearing a jacket, so she silently raised the air conditioning by two degrees and then sat quietly as if invisible beside Xu Ke.

Xu Ke noticed Xu Jie’s actions, satisfied with her attentiveness, and relaxed his posture, then narrowed his eyes, starting to listen to the next person’s report.

When Liu Binglin finished speaking, over an hour had unknowingly passed. The few people who came without having eaten were starting to feel faint, and although Xu Ke had just given them a break, the time was too short for them to eat.

"Mr. Xu, we’ve talked quite a bit here, and everyone’s hungry. How about we have something to eat before continuing?" Liu Binglin cleared his throat with a hoarse voice after speaking.

"I lost track of time. Let’s grab something to eat and continue later." Xu Ke said after checking the time.

As soon as Xu Ke finished speaking, there was a loud "bang!" The door that was originally closed properly was now kicked open from the outside, barely hanging on the wall, looking pitiful. Xu Ke’s gaze swept over the shaking door, landing on the large group outside, his eyes unreadable.

Seeing the tall, muscled men in black vests with imposing auras standing at the door, the faces in the room turned serious, "What are you barging in here for?" Liu Binglin, closest to the door, asked with a dark face.

The leading men in sunglasses didn’t even glance at Liu Binglin, instead stepped aside to make a narrow path, as if waiting for someone, making Liu Binglin’s temple throb. It had been years since someone had ignored him like this.

As Liu Binglin’s face grew darker, a familiar figure limped out of the crowd, "Where’s that punk who wanted to fight me earlier? Come over and get beaten." Tian Long arrogantly said.

He had heard too much praise for Xu Ke outside, burning with anger while waiting for his men to arrive. Now he wanted to beat Xu Ke in front of everyone, the more embarrassed, the better, to show them this man’s disgrace, see how they could still admire him.

"Didn’t I tell you to keep your mouth clean when you talk? Seems like you didn’t learn your lesson," Xu Ke sat up straight, looking at Tian Long at the door with a teasing gaze.

The pain in his knee made Tian Long take a step back unconsciously, but the next second he puffed out his chest and took a step forward. He laughed, thinking he brought so many people and didn’t believe this man could defeat them all. With that, he felt confident and said with more assertiveness, "I’m telling you, don’t get cocky, there are so many of us. Do you think you can beat us all?" noveldrama

"Tian Long, shut up! Who gave you the guts to bring the family’s bodyguards here to act up? Hurry and apologize to Mr. Xu." Tian Li’s sudden angry shout startled everyone in the room. Tian Li was furious with his nephew; he had been signaling him since Tian Long entered, but instead of restraining himself, Tian Long became more arrogant. Yet, how could Tian Long have noticed anyone else when all his attention was on Xu Ke?

"Second uncle, why are you here?" Under Tian Li’s angry yell, Tian Long’s attention finally diverted from Xu Ke to the room, and seeing Tian Li in the corner, Tian Long instinctively put on a pleasing smile, like a dog seeking forgiveness after making a mistake.

"If I weren’t here, how would I know you’re acting so high and mighty behind the family’s back? Now apologize to Mr. Xu." Tian Li’s face was purple-red with anger, his face trembling slightly. The usual cozy tactics Tian Long employed were useless now.

Realizing Tian Li wasn’t buying it, Tian Long knew he had deeply angered him. His previously arrogant demeanor deflated like a punctured balloon. He dejectedly but without much sincerity turned toward Xu Ke and said, "I’m sorry, I was reckless just now."

Seeing Xu Ke wasn’t relenting, Tian Li shouted even louder at Tian Long, "Is that how you apologize? Do it properly, louder."

"Sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me." Tian Long instinctively straightened his back and shouted, disregarding the classmates who came to watch the commotion. Compared to angering his uncle, being laughed at by classmates was nothing.

"Alright, I’m not a petty person. Let’s settle this today, but don’t let me see a next time." Xu Ke said, smiling faintly as he glanced at Tian Li, dismissively waving his hand.

Despite the calm words, Tian Li instantly straightened his back, feeling like he was being scrutinized by a beast.

"I’ll certainly educate him properly when we get back. It won’t happen again." Tian Li assured, glaring at Tian Long in the next second, "What are you standing there for? Hurry and take your men and leave."
