Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: The Winner Behind the Scenes

When Lin Mengyao woke up the next day, she only felt a sore waist and back, as if she had been run over and reassembled by a car. Every movement brought a crackling sound from her bones, which made one’s scalp tingle. On the bedside table were toasted bread and a cup of hot milk, along with a cream-colored sticky note, which suddenly improved Lin Mengyao’s mood.

The man, after a hearty meal, drove with a satisfied smile to the agreed meeting place with Jin Yuyan.

Xu Ke arrived at the private room ten minutes early, only to find that Jin Yuyan was already sitting inside. The teapot in front of her had lost its heat, indicating that she had been there for quite some time.

"I’m late," Xu Ke said as he took off his coat and hung it on a rack by the door.

"No, I’m early," Jin Yuyan’s face was expressionless, and her entire aura was much more mature and stable than before. This same aura also made her look much older than her peers. Clearly still at the age of a blooming flower, her eyes already showed a trace of vicissitudes, looking like someone over forty.

"I didn’t expect the Jin family’s affairs to affect you so much. You’ve changed a lot," Xu Ke said as he sat on the tatami, taking a closer look at Jin Yuyan’s eyes.

Jin Yuyan slowly rubbed the rim of her cup with her fingers, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "Isn’t this the result you wanted to see?" Jin Yuyan raised her head, a strand of hair fell from her forehead, but she tucked it back behind her ear, "Are you satisfied with how I’ve become now?"

Xu Ke looked at her eyes, which were as calm as a dry well, and slightly frowned, "Your change was never in my plans."

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Jin Yuyan’s lips curled slightly, a hint of sarcasm in that gesture, it was unclear if it was directed at Xu Ke, herself, or simply a habitual motion.

your summary is spot-on, but I must correct one point. My view is not limited to women—men receive the same treatment from me. I, Xu Ke, am a businessman. Business is about interests above all.
