Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Alliance

"Calling so late, is there something wrong?" Xu Ke glanced at Lin Mengyao, who was frowning beside him as if she were about to wake up, and whispered in a voice as small as possible.

At the same time, Xu Ke carefully slipped out from under the blanket, tucked Lin Mengyao in, and went to the balcony with his upper body bare.

On the other end of the phone, Jin Yuyan was silent for a moment, listening to the faint sounds coming through the receiver.

"Why aren’t you speaking?" Xu Ke frowned and said.

"Did I disturb you two?" Jin Yuyan’s voice tightened as she spoke.

"Yes." Xu Ke said without hesitation, blocking everything Jin Yuyan wanted to say on the other end of the line. For a moment, the air felt as if it had frozen.

"It’s so late, what exactly do you want by calling me?" Xu Ke looked through the balcony glass at Lin Mengyao inside, and asked in a cold voice.

On the other end of the phone, Jin Yuyan collected herself, trying to speak in a calm tone, "My great uncle is about to take a plane to see Jin Ling and Jin Long. There’s already irreconcilable conflict between my grandpa and me and their siblings. Once my great uncle meets them, I’m afraid the relationship between our two families will end. In the better scenario, the families will split and go their separate ways, but if their siblings cause trouble, our families might end up clashing. Both our families know each other well, and if we become adversaries, I’m afraid our Jin family will suffer severe losses. Not to mention losing our place among the top families in Luocheng, we might even drop to second-rate instantly."

Jin Yuyan’s tone was calm, as if she were stating something completely unrelated to her, but Xu Ke understood her meaning.
