Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 243: Chapter 243: The Call Again

This night was destined to be an unsettled one for both the Jin family and the shareholders. The incident at the Jin family mine was yet unresolved, when news of Jin Zhengxiong’s stroke came out, propelling the Jin family into yet another wave of public opinion. The phones of the assistant and Jin Ling rang incessantly throughout the night. Half of the company’s executives had already submitted their resignations, and both the technical and sales departments resigned en masse, led by their department managers to another company.

That night, almost everything in Jin Ling’s room became fragments. The assistant stood in the only relatively clean corner of the room, watching Jin Ling’s frenzied appearance, a smile quietly forming at the corners of his mouth.

Meanwhile, in the villa, without the disturbance of a third person, Xu Ke played soft music and reached out to Lin Mengyao. The two of them, dressed in silk pajamas, danced gracefully in the living room.

"Why are you suddenly so happy?" Lin Mengyao asked, her lips curling into a smile as she looked at Xu Ke’s never-fading grin since dinner.

"Because every day spent with you is full of joy. Once I handle this matter, come to Shangjing with me. I want to introduce you to my family," Xu Ke spoke with a light and natural tone, as if it were a casual remark. Yet, it made Lin Mengyao pause in her movements, her intended step back faltering slightly, landing directly on Xu Ke’s foot.

"So, we’re meeting the family already? This news is rather sudden. I’ve never heard you mention having family before. What should I bring for them?" Lin Mengyao stopped dancing altogether, anxiously turning off the music as she asked.

Xu Ke touched Lin Mengyao’s hair and said with a smile, "He is the butler who has been with my grandfather. I usually call him Grandpa Zhao; you can just follow me and call him that. He watched me grow up and is essentially my only remaining family. They have everything at home, so you don’t need to prepare anything. Honestly, as long as you’re willing to come with me, he’ll be very happy. He likes you very much and has been urging me to bring you over."

Xu Ke’s explanation relaxed Lin Mengyao significantly, though she wasn’t completely at ease.

"I’ll sort things out at the company tomorrow. I can’t leave while everything is in chaos. By the way, does Grandpa Zhao have any favorite things? Even if you say there’s no need, I’d like to bring something to show my appreciation," Lin Mengyao said, glancing at Xu Ke.
