Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1485: Chapter 1485: Apologize to My Mom

"Yu Jian handing the company over to you was truly a mistake. The company under Yu Jian’s management was never lacking, but under his son’s hands, it has developed to this extent, relying on fraudulent means to get some revenue. It’s really disgraceful when you think about it."

After finishing, he stormed off angrily, passing by Xu Ke without even a glance. Despite being misled by Yu Hao this time, he didn’t gain a good impression of Xu Ke either. This young man not only lacked respect for the elderly and care for the young but also made irresponsible remarks.

Xu Ke wasn’t concerned about Old Lan’s attitude. In any case, there was indeed nothing worthy of respect in Old Lan. For people like him, using seniority to oppress was ineffective here.

However, Xu Ke could never tolerate his mother being humiliated like this. So, disregarding Wang Cuixia’s attempts to stop him, he directly confronted Old Lan: "Old Lan, you said before that you have high moral standing and even have many admirers in this circle, which allows you to bully others at will."

"But today, not only did you insult me, but you also didn’t spare my mother. Isn’t that abusing your power too much? If this is what’s happening, it’s somewhat lacking in decency. I hope Old Lan will apologize to my mother."

Xu Ke spoke each word with exceptional clarity, and everyone present seemed to be hearing things wrong. No way, someone actually asked Old Lan to apologize? Who is this Old Lan, and almost no one dares to offend Xu Ke. Has he gone insane to actually ask Old Lan to apologize?

Old Lan usually considers it a charity to exchange a few words with you. What are you thinking right now?

These people couldn’t understand, but Xu Ke didn’t believe he was being excessive. Insulting one’s parents cannot be let go. After all, though Wang Cuixia hadn’t been with him long, she was still his mother.

No one has the right to insult her.

At this moment, Wang Cuixia was particularly moved. She didn’t expect her son to stand up for her to this extent. But she couldn’t let her son lose his future. It wasn’t easy for him to reach this point, so suffering a little wrong didn’t matter.

Moreover, she had indeed been a bit hasty in defending her son just now, disregarding face in front of so many people.

"Ke’er, let it go. I think Old Lan didn’t mean it, and he did say it was a misunderstanding, so just let it go!"

Xu Ke reassuredly looked at Wang Cuixia: "Mom, anything can be forgiven, but not this. As your son, you’ve raised me all these years. Anyone can insult me, even hit me or scold me, but no one can insult my mother. You gave birth to me and raised me, and I owe you a debt of gratitude, so I cannot allow anyone to insult you like this."

"No matter how high that person’s status is, it doesn’t matter. Even if your son has to take great risks, I will get justice for you."

Xu Ke spoke with unwavering determination, and at this moment, Wang Cuixia felt not only moved but also worried. If her son got into trouble while seeking justice, it would be something she definitely did not want to see, so she could only hope and look towards Old Li for help, hoping he could say a few more words.

Although Old Li thought Xu Ke’s demand was a bit over the top, Xu Ke’s words indeed touched him. It wasn’t easy for parents to raise their children, and it’s rare to see a child with such a mindset. Therefore, Old Li particularly supported Xu Ke.

Though he was good friends with Old Lan in their youth, it didn’t mean Old Li would be biased. Old Li always prioritized justice in any matter. Whoever was reasonable naturally had Old Li’s support.

"I do think Xu Ke is very right. It’s very difficult for parents to raise you, so a son seeking justice for his parents isn’t wrong. Unlike some, who at such an age, refuse to apologize after doing wrong, which is somewhat unethical."

Old Li’s words specifically targeted Old Lan, and naturally, others wouldn’t dare say it, but Old Li didn’t care. After all, the young ones around him not only trampled on Xu Ke but also rode on Old Lan’s momentum, trampling on him too. Old Lan seemingly had no reason to get angry.

At this moment, Old Lan exploded. In this circle, for so many years, no one had ever dared to demand an apology from him. This was simply a dream, and since he was also misled, why should he apologize?

Therefore, Old Lan’s expression was particularly displeased, not expecting to make a mistake in such a public setting. What was going on with Old Li?

Apologize? Not possible!

"Just because you achieved a little bit, is there a need to be so arrogant? In front of us senior figures, you still are nothing more than a mere ant. Besides, our three-year agreement is not yet fulfilled. There’s no need for such arrogance. When you surpass me, I will then apologize to your mother."

After Old Lan finished speaking, he waved his sleeve and left.

He had no intention of apologizing; saying this was just a stalling tactic.

Xu Ke’s eyes reddened as he clenched his fists, watching Old Lan’s back. Seeing Xu Ke like this, everyone became anxious.

Xu Ke was too terrifying, and what Old Lan said seemed impossible to achieve. Old Lan was already a giant in the animation and gaming world. To surpass him was almost impossible.

Especially with the current sluggish market, achieving this was simply not feasible. Old Lan was merely posing a challenge to the youth. Forget about Xu Ke; even Yu Hao thought Xu Ke was now against a wall. Old Li also shook his head.

However, Xu Ke believed in himself. Given time, he would certainly surpass the current Old Lan. So there was nothing in Old Lan to respect. Xu Ke raised his voice directly: "Since you say so, then let’s remember this today. As long as within three years, I surpass you, or whenever I do, you must apologize to my mother and to me. If you achieve that, I’ll let it go; if not, I guess Old Lan would be too ashamed to face it without me saying it."

After Xu Ke finished speaking, it was with resounding conviction, leaving everyone shocked. Was Xu Ke serious?

If that’s the case, wouldn’t Old Lan be infuriated? It was almost forcing Old Lan to agree! But who could achieve this within three years? Even though Xiao Group’s animation indeed was good, with revenue to show for it, truly surpassing Old Lan was like climbing to the top of a pyramid—utterly impossible.

Everyone believed it impossible, and even Old Li was a bit worried. This child must be obsessed. Old Lan’s prowess was unmatched. Back then, he was renowned in every field, and while he might not be at the top in every industry, wasn’t he someone whom many avoided by just hearing his name?
