Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Torn Dress

"How can my mom be like this." Lin Mengyao sat there trembling with anger at Li Lihua’s words. Wasn’t she aware of the situation at the Lin family, or what kind of person Lin Mengyao was? How could she casually accuse her of exploiting the project for personal gain, making such irresponsible accusations and smearing her name? Did she not consider her a daughter anymore?

"Don’t be upset. I know what kind of person you are. You wouldn’t do the things she just accused you of. Even if no one else believes you, I trust you. Also, you don’t need to worry about the money, I’ll help you settle it, okay?" Xu Ke placed his hand gently on Lin Mengyao, comforting her softly.

Thinking about the balance in her bank account, Lin Mengyao didn’t hold back with Xu Ke, "Then consider this money as me borrowing from you. I’ll return it to you later." Lin Mengyao’s head lightly leaned on Xu Ke’s shoulder. She felt a long-lost sense of security from him, as if no matter what happened, he would shield her from the storm, making her fearless.

The relationship between Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao was such that sometimes they felt really close, giving Xu Ke the illusion they had been in love for years, but other times they seemed so distant like there was a great wall between them. Yet, right now, as they embraced each other, with Lin Mengyao leaning on his shoulder, the physical distance between them was just the fabric of their clothing.

But Lin Mengyao’s talk of repaying him suddenly created a distance between them, and more critically, Xu Ke couldn’t refuse her. Otherwise, based on his understanding of Lin Mengyao, she might even consider getting a bank loan rather than accept his help.

As the two quietly enjoyed some alone time, an exclamation and quarrel came from upstairs, sounding like it came from Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao’s room. The two on the sofa exchanged a glance, their expressions turning grim as they headed to their room upstairs.

Mengyao valued their personal space highly. The thought that someone might have invaded their room did not sit well

Mengyao had no likable feelings for these relatives who, from her memory, clung to their family for benefits. Her gaze was cold, making Zhao Chunhua involuntarily take a step
