Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Abnormal

Chairman Hu glared at Xu Ke with gritted teeth but still turned around to chase after Hu Jinzhi. After all, she was his only daughter.

Xu Ke watched the back of Chairman Hu leave and also turned to go. His original plan had to be postponed, and he feared he would have to delay his return to Luocheng. There was a flicker of dimness in Xu Ke’s eyes, as he hadn’t seen Lin Mengyao for almost a week. He didn’t know how she was doing in Luocheng, or if the Lin Family had been troubling her. A tinge of worry arose in Xu Ke’s heart as he picked up a call from Chu Lian, his expression showing a trace of disgust and impatience.

"Don’t go home, head to the Central Hospital." Xu Ke put down the phone and said in a somber tone.

In the hospital room, Chu Lian’s face bore an unnatural flush. Her whole demeanor had visibly become more sullen, and her gaze was chillingly piercing, making people uneasy.

"Why didn’t you come to see me today, and why didn’t you bring lilies?" Seeing Xu Ke walk in, Chu Lian’s face showed no expression, only looking at Xu Ke with her eyes stripped of any light.

Xu Ke’s steps halted, "I don’t think our relationship has reached the point where I need to visit you every day. Besides, I was called here by you suddenly, where would I have time to prepare any gifts?" Xu Ke squinted his eyes, making it unclear what emotions lay within as he spoke.

Xu Ke’s icy tone snapped Chu Lian out of her self-pitying state, but what followed was an indescribable grievance, "Then what kind of relationship do you think we have? I believe we can at least call each other friends. Isn’t it normal for a friend like you to visit me when I’m sick?"

"But there’s no need to report in daily." Xu Ke stood by the door, neither entering nor leaving, just looking at Chu Lian, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion.
