Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 323: Chapter 323 Kidnapping

Sheng Wenhao’s attitude softened Lin Mengyao’s heart a bit, and her expression was no longer as cold as before. "This matter has nothing to do with you. It’s something between Xu Ke and me. You have nothing to feel guilty about. I am very grateful for this trip to America. It allowed me to see more sides of Xu Ke and made me realize that we are not suitable partners. We may not be able to spend the rest of our lives together, so in the future, if he has any issues, please don’t come looking for me. From now on, we will go our separate ways. I’ve already decided that once I’m better, I’ll go to Luocheng and never return to Shangjing in this lifetime." Lin Mengyao casually dropped a bomb on Sheng Wenhao, leaving him in complete disarray.

"You two are getting divorced?" Sheng Wenhao’s eyes widened, and he spoke with a rough voice. He really couldn’t connect those words with the two of them; it sounded too crazy. "Weren’t you deeply in love? Why say things like this? Marriage is about two people accommodating each other to make it work. Isn’t there anything you can’t talk through? If you don’t like something about Xu Ke, tell him. He loves you so much; he’s certainly willing to change for you. Fate doesn’t come easily, and it shouldn’t be given up lightly." Sheng Wenhao spoke earnestly.

"The situation is not as simple as you think. Xu Ke and I need some time to cool off. Anyway, I don’t want to see him right now. Tell him not to torture himself like this. My decision is set and won’t change. I’m tired and want to rest, please go out." Lin Mengyao closed her eyes, signaling that it was time for Sheng Wenhao to leave. Seeing this, Sheng Wenhao had no choice but to leave the bedroom and turn to the study.

"Did she really say that?" Xu Ke, hunching over in his chair, bowed his head, making it hard to see the expression on his face. Nonetheless, his sadness and disappointment were palpable because those feelings had almost become tangible and enveloped him completely.

Seeing his friend in such a state because of a few words, Sheng Wenhao was almost drowning in guilt. He didn’t mean any harm; he just wanted to convey Lin Mengyao’s thoughts to Xu Ke, hoping they could reconcile. After all, he had seen with his own eyes how much his brother loved Lin Mengyao. Who could have imagined that conveying these words would not encourage his brother but have the opposite effect?

"Slap!" Without hesitation, Sheng Wenhao gave himself a slap. The red imprint of his hand appeared almost immediately on his face, quickly swelling and turning bruised. It was clear that Sheng Wenhao didn’t hold back; it was a particularly forceful hit.

Still immersed in sorrow, Xu Ke raised his head abruptly at the sound and saw the red handprint on Sheng Wenhao’s face. "What are you doing?" Xu Ke asked, eyes filled with confusion and a hint of annoyance.
