Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Betting

Just as the last bowl of soup was placed on the dining table, Father and Mother Lin returned home, right on time.

"It's these dishes again, with all that greenery every day. Do you take us for rabbits? We give you so much money for living expenses every month, and this is all you come up with? Are you pocketing the rest! I'm telling you, you can stay if you want, but if not, get out right this instant." Li Lihua pointed at the food on the table with one hand and put her other hand on her hip.

Seeing the four dishes and a soup on the table, Xu Ke didn't know what had riled her up this time. But to avoid endless bickering, he stood aside, keeping his head down like a mute who said nothing, waiting for her to quiet down.

Li Lihua continued to scold for a while without getting a reaction from Xu Ke. It felt like punching a pillow. "You're like a stick that can't be budged. What did the Lin Family do to deserve such a son-in-law in past lives? It's like eight lifetimes' worth of bad luck," Li Lihua shouted.

Lin Mengyao, just entering the house, heard Li Lihua's piercing scolds and asked, a bit puzzled, "What's going on?"

It would've been better if Lin Mengyao hadn't spoken; speaking up was like stirring a hornet's nest, and Li Lihua immediately turned her fury on Lin Mengyao.

"What's going on? You have the nerve to ask what's going on! What did I, Li Lihua, do in my past life to deserve such an unworthy daughter? Who do you think you are? Do you think you still have a pillar of support now that your grandpa is gone? And you dare declare resolutions at the board meeting. You think you're so capable now, huh? How is this different from pushing yourself out of the Lin Group?" Li Lihua exclaimed, turning red with anger.

"Mom, who told you about this?"

"Does it matter who told me? If no one had told me, how long did you plan on keeping this from me, from the family? I won't agree to that board resolution. You go tell your grandma it doesn't count, and take it back," Li Lihua demanded, her face stern.
