Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Warning

As long as Xu Ke doesn’t hold a grudge, that’s good. Jin Yuyan relaxed her mind and began to look at Xu Ke’s appearance today. The more she looked, the more satisfied she felt, and even a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.

Brother Xu is not only capable but also handsome! The little person in Jin Yuyan’s heart said in a daze, holding her cheeks.

Just as Jin Yuyan was planning to say a few more words to Xu Ke, a servant from the house approached her and said that something had happened at the front, requiring her to address it. Jin Yuyan waved the servant away, feeling quite regretful in her heart, but showed no hint of it on her face.

"I have some matters to attend to here, so I can’t entertain Brother Xu." noveldrama

"It’s fine, you go ahead and take care of it, don’t worry about me."

"Then I’ll be going." Jin Yuyan glanced shyly at Xu Ke, then turned and left.

Although Jin Yuyan just loudly said that Xu Ke was a distinguished guest of the Jin family, considering that Xu Ke came with Xu Jie, and Jiahe Group recently collaborated with the Jin Group, Jin Yuyan’s special treatment of Xu Ke suddenly made sense.

The people in the venue, though not daring to trouble Xu Ke, also did not approach him for conversation, treating him as if he were invisible. Xu Ke could sense the subtle rejection, but this happened to suit him just fine, allowing him to sit quietly by himself for a while.

But tonight, Xu Ke wouldn’t have the chance to remain in peace.

When Jin Yuyan spoke out for Xu Ke earlier, there was someone in the crowd who had been watching everything. Seeing Jin Yuyan smiling and chatting with Xu Ke, Guo Jiadong’s jealousy boiled over. He patiently waited in the crowd for a long time until Jin Yuyan left, thus getting the opportunity to approach Xu Ke.

He had witnessed Jin Yuyan standing up for Xu Ke, and his jealousy was nearly consuming him. Why should this pretty boy get Yan Yan’s protection? Clearly, he was the one who had grown up with her; Yanyan’s attention should be on him. Besides his looks, what else did this pretty boy have to deserve an extra glance from Yanyan?

"Are you a distinguished guest of the Jin family? Your surname is Xu? But I don’t remember anyone in Luo City with the surname Xu. Where did you come from?" The man blocked the light above Xu Ke and looked down at him, a smile on his lips but jealousy and hatred in his eyes.

Xu Ke put down the phone in his hand, looking displeased at the person standing in front of him. The man appeared to be in his twenties, wearing a deep blue bespoke suit, tall and well-built. His honey-colored skin might not be as striking as Xu Ke’s, but he had strong features, a completely different style of man from Xu Ke.

"Move, you’re blocking my light." The visitor came with ill intentions, and Xu Ke did not grant him face, replying with an icy tone. Anyone with a bit of sense, seeing Xu Ke’s response, would have stopped, changed the subject, or simply left. But Guo Jiadong came looking for trouble; how could he leave just because of Xu Ke’s reaction?

So instead of leaving, he stretched his long legs, moved around the table, and sat next to Xu Ke. "What? Embarrassed to say?" Guo Jiadong raised one eyebrow, speaking with disdain.

"Why embarrassed? Because you’re actually Xu Jie’s kept man, right?" Guo Jiadong’s eyes bore a hint of mockery as he continued, "This must be your first time in a place like this. When brought by Mr. Xu, you must have secretly been delighted for a long time because here you can meet more of Luo City’s wealthy people. You can choose a richer, more generous patron, even publicly have one and secretly another."

"Honestly, your plans don’t concern me much, but don’t think you can use your looks and Xu Jie’s connections to make a move on Yanyan. Yanyan might be young and fall for your tricks, but I will never let you off. If you don’t believe me, you can try it." Guo Jiadong whispered, suppressing the jealousy burning in his heart.

Why? Why can such a man earn Yanyan’s smile, while he cannot? Where exactly is he lacking? Guo Jiadong couldn’t fathom it. Does this man really outshine him? Who in Luo City doesn’t know he’s the famous eligible bachelor? Choosing him should be far better than someone who only offers a pretty face, shouldn’t it? Guo Jiadong thought angrily.

Guo Jiadong didn’t know Xu Ke, but he had already made up his mind about him at first sight. So, when he saw Jin Yuyan being more pleasant to Xu Ke than to himself, he started feeling sour. He had liked Jin Yuyan for so long, already considering her his woman in his heart. Seeing his woman smiling so happily at another man was unbearable.

What Guo Jiadong thought, Xu Ke didn’t know. He only knew that the other was like a fly buzzing around, making his mind restless, so he retorted, "Do you always like to talk to yourself like this?"

"You! How dare you talk to me like this? Do you know who I am?" Guo Jiadong raged, astonished that the other dared to talk back to him, thinking he must have heard wrong initially.

"Are you famous? Why should I know you? If you’ve got nothing else to say, please leave." Xu Ke said expressionlessly, his tone smooth without a ripple, making it all the more irritating.

"Hmph, you’re just a kept man, yet you talk to me like this. Do you think Xu Jie would really protect you? If I truly went against you, believe it or not, Xu Jie wouldn’t defend you. After all, you’re just a toy; she can always find another. Then, you’d be worse off than a beggar on the street. So, you better stay away from Yanyan and get out of the Jin house right now, don’t get in my way." Guo Jiadong’s voice was harsh, and no one could doubt the truth of his words.

"Guo, you really have some nerve, threatening guests in my Jin household like this. Anyone would think this is the Guo house!" Jin Yuyan, having just finished handling her matters, once again came across someone causing trouble for Xu Ke. She had dismissed one earlier and announced loudly that Xu Ke was a distinguished guest of the Jin family. She thought no one would trouble Xu Ke again, yet here was someone insulting her family’s name and making things difficult for Xu Ke.

This time, Jin Yuyan’s face darkened completely. Her low pressure and displeasure were visible for all to see unless they were blind.
