Supreme Heir Son-in-law

After the gathering ended, Xu Ke returned to the company together with Murong Hai.

He was now temporarily afraid to go home, dreading the prospect of seeing Xiao Keyi and Dongfang Yanran.

At this moment, Xu Ke didn’t know how to face the two girls, which had been the source of his anxiety all afternoon.

Throughout the journey, Xu Ke kept his eyebrows furrowed, looking very serious.

Murong Hai drove, carefully watching Xu Ke along the way, fearing that his boss might do something irrational if he were upset.

Finally, Murong Hai couldn’t hold back anymore. Xu Ke seemed nothing like his usual self, indicating something was bothering him.

"I say, Xu Ke, what’s going on with you? Didn’t today’s banquet go quite well? Why do you still look so troubled?"

Hearing Murong Hai’s words, Xu Ke sighed helplessly.

Truly, even heroes find it hard to get past the beauty gate, and he hadn’t even gotten past it yet but was already deeply troubled.

"Ah Hai, you don’t know, I’ve encountered the biggest difficulty of my life. If I can’t handle this properly, I might perish here."

Xu Ke’s words made Murong Hai turn serious, thinking Xu Ke was in some kind of insurmountable danger.

"Xu Ke, rest assured, no matter the danger, I will stand in front of you. My life was given by you, so it belongs to you. Just tell me who is making you so worried, and I’ll take care of it."

Ever since following Xu Ke, Murong Hai had already put his life on the line.

The saying goes, "A warrior dies for a confidant," and Murong Hai certainly didn’t want to see Xu Ke in such distress.

After listening to Murong Hai, Xu Ke’s eyes lit up.

"Ah Hai, do you mean it?"

"Of course, I mean it. When have I, Murong Hai, ever gone back on my word?" Murong Hai was puzzled by Xu Ke’s excitement.

"I knew it, at a critical moment, Ah Hai, you’re reliable. To be honest, my biggest problem now is my girlfriend and that Dongfang Yanran. I don’t know how to face the two of them. As long as you can handle this for me, you’d be solving an urgent crisis for me."

Hearing this, Murong Hai finally understood why Xu Ke looked so distressed.

It turned out to be a relationship issue, which he truly couldn’t help with.

"Xu Ke, this is something you must handle personally. After all, it’s your family affair, and as an outsider, I can’t do much. Besides, I also can’t go. If my Lanlan found out I did this, she’d probably break my legs."

Murong Hai hadn’t had enough of life yet, and he didn’t want to get involved in such matters.

Although Xiao Keyi usually seemed very gentle and generous, Murong Hai knew that the gentler a woman appeared on the outside, the more terrifying she was inside.

After spending time with Bai Lan recently, he realized how serious this issue was.

So from now on, Murong Hai was determined not to get involved with women anymore—he’d rather carry out missions.

He thought girls were the most complicated creatures in the world, and also the most dangerous.

He still remembered the last time Bai Lan got angry for some unknown reason, and he had to coax her for three days.

Finally, for reasons unknown, Bai Lan got over it.

Since then, he’s had to be cautious about everything he said in front of Bai Lan, fearing saying the wrong thing and upsetting her.

"Ah Hai, you just said confidently you’d help me with anything. Why are you chickening out now? Were you lying to me?"

Now Xu Ke increasingly felt that he should drag Murong Hai down with him on this matter so that if Xiao Keyi blamed him, at least he’d have a brother to shield him.

The most crucial point was, he really had no relation whatsoever with this Dongfang Yanran. Initially, he didn’t want to have too much interaction with her, but she ended up moving into his home.

Xu Ke initially planned to go straight home, but now he had to go to the company for some makeshift overtime.

Until he figured out a plan, he thought he’d better not go back temporarily to avoid causing more trouble.

Murong Hai suddenly realized he was digging a pit for himself, accidentally trapping himself so deeply there wouldn’t even be bones left.

"No, no, how dare I disturb Mr. Xu in such matters? I can help you with other things, but it’s best for you to handle this personally. Sister-in-law Keyi is very understanding, surely, as long as the boss explains patiently, she will forgive you."

Murong Hai had already made up his mind that no matter what, he wouldn’t get involved in such murky waters.

Isn’t living well, or having coffee, more pleasant?

Just like that, amid their bickering, they quickly arrived at the company. As soon as they reached the second floor, Xu Ke ran into Wang Cuixia.

At this moment, Wang Cuixia was talking to a young girl. If Xu Ke guessed correctly, that person should be the Xiaoya her mother mentioned.

Regarding this girl Xiaoya, Xu Ke didn’t have much animosity; after all, when such things happened back then, she was also powerless to change anything.

Later, with Xiaoya’s help, they learned the hidden truth behind it.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Xu Ke said with a smile.

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s voice, Wang Cuixia immediately turned around.

Seeing Xu Ke, Wang Cuixia rushed over and twisted his ear directly.

"You little rascal, how dare you show your face here? You went to a banquet and ended up causing me so many problems. Just now several companies called me about negotiating cooperative projects. Do you know how many calls I’ve taken today?"

Talking about this matter, Wang Cuixia was full of anger.

She was already quite busy recently, and now Xu Ke had created even more issues for her.

Just today alone, she had received about fifty calls.

And each call was of significant importance, a substantial business opportunity for Xu Group.

"Mom, it’s not like I wanted this. Grandpa hosted the banquet, and since everyone came, naturally they want to cooperate with our company. I already mentioned over the phone, leave this matter to you entirely. I’m planning to form a new department to handle our company’s security measures."

Xu Ke wanted to be a hands-off manager, letting his mother handle all the difficult tasks.

After all, she had been in the company for so many years and knew everything even better than he did.

He didn’t want to deal with those executives again, better to spend that time having a few more drinks with Murong Hai.
