Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1490: Chapter 1490: Yang Tian’s Thoughts

He just couldn’t figure out why Xiao Zhen was suddenly being so nice now; Xu Ke didn’t bother to think about the reason behind it. Anyway, since things were developing in this direction, it had to be a good thing, and Xiao Zhen didn’t seem hostile at all right now. In fact, he looked a lot more pleasant than before.

"Uncle Yang!"

Yang Tian was feeling incredibly conflicted at this moment. If it weren’t for his daughter, he absolutely wouldn’t have come. Because she liked Xu Ke, his daughter had been sulking nonstop.

Even at Xiao Keyi’s birthday banquet, she’d sat alone in a corner, looking pitiful, so Yang Tian thought of Xiao Zhen. Since Xiao Zhen didn’t like Xu Ke anyway, he could try to match the two of them up. Chairman Xiao would definitely be thrilled.

But before this, Yang Tian still concealed the entire story from Xiao Zhen, only giving him a very vague explanation.

At this moment, Xiao Zhen still thought that Xu Ke had offended the chairman of Xingyu Group, and that being called over now was definitely to make Xu Ke apologize. "What is wrong with you? You’ve gone and pissed off your Uncle Yang again. Hurry up and apologize to your Uncle Yang. Your Uncle Yang is generous, he’ll definitely forgive you."

Yang Tian hadn’t even spoken yet when Xiao Zhen’s words left Xu Ke completely dumbfounded. When had he ever offended Yang Tian? And hadn’t Yang Tianzhen just confessed to him not long ago? This was young people’s business; Yang Tian really shouldn’t be meddling.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth. If the chairman of Xingyu Group really wanted to come after him, he could have come straight at him alone.

Why bother calling Xiao Zhen over too? Wasn’t this just to watch a good show between him and Xiao Zhen? But the one thing Xu Ke hated most was people watching him make a fool of himself. What was so fun about that?

Besides, he and Xiao Zhen were sooner or later going to be family. No matter what Xiao Zhen was like, on the surface at least, Xu Ke would still give him face.

When Yang Tian heard what Xiao Zhen said, he immediately panicked. Just now, afraid that Xiao Zhen wouldn’t agree, Yang Tian had spoken very cryptically. He hadn’t expected Xiao Zhen to misunderstand. If things were said like this and Xu Ke walked off later, what would happen to his daughter?

So Yang Tian quickly plastered on a fawning smile. "President Xiao, you’ve definitely misunderstood. I have no problem with you. I asked you to come over purely because I wanted to chat. Young and accomplished men like you are rare, really. I did misjudge you last time, and my attitude toward you wasn’t good, so today I came specially to apologize. You won’t take it to heart, will you?"

Yang Tian’s attitude did a complete 360-degree turn. He’d never even treated Xiao Zhen this nicely, which left Xiao Zhen completely stunned. What on earth was going on? Why was Yang Tian buttering up Xu Ke? Wasn’t he supposed to be here to cause trouble? Xiao Zhen started doubting his own eyes.

Anyway, Xu Ke was only a president of a branch company. If Yang Tian wanted to curry favor, he’d be better off currying favor with him. At least he was the chairman of Headquarters. What on earth was Yang Tian doing?

Something had to be off somewhere. Xiao Zhen was baffled, but he still didn’t say anything.

Forget Xiao Zhen—Xu Ke was even more confused at this point. What was going on? Chairman Yang seemed like his brain wasn’t working properly today.

"Uncle Yang was right to lecture me last time. I didn’t know my place and barged in recklessly, so I should apologize to you here. Besides, that day was just a misunderstanding. There’s no need to take it to heart. We’re all people who do big business; if we fuss over something this small, wouldn’t that be beneath our stature?"

Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Xiao Zhen finally let out a sigh of relief. The kid wasn’t completely stupid. If he were really dumb, he’d definitely try to take all the credit for this onto himself, which would only make Yang Tian lose face.

So Xiao Zhen hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over. "Exactly. And our branch president here is just a young man. President Yang, don’t take it to heart. Besides, he still needs more tempering. In the future, if there’s any cooperation, you really should think of him."

Hearing Xiao Zhen, Xu Ke raised an eyebrow. Did Xiao Zhen take the wrong meds today? He just kept praising him nonstop, to the point that Xu Ke couldn’t quite believe this was the real Xiao Zhen, like he’d been swapped out by an impostor.

Noticing Xu Ke sizing him up, Xiao Zhen felt a little uncomfortable. If he hadn’t realized the kid had some talent, he definitely wouldn’t be talking him up like this right now.

But the kid did have some ability. If he really buried him, that would be a bit wrong, so Xiao Zhen slowly let go of his prejudices against Xu Ke.

But when President Yang heard what Xiao Zhen said, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his thoughts started running wild. Had Xiao Zhen already accepted Xu Ke? So all those rumors outside were fake?

That Chairman Xiao of Xiao Group didn’t like the branch company president Xu Ke—was that rumor wrong? Yang Tian instantly started to waver. If that were the case, wouldn’t that mean Xiao Zhen had already recognized Xu Ke as his future son-in-law?

That wouldn’t do. His daughter liked Xu Ke, and whenever his daughter had a wish, Yang Tian had always helped her fulfill it.

If he failed this time, Yang Tian would never be able to let it go. Even if his daughter didn’t blame him, he would still feel like he owed her. So right now, Yang Tian ignored everything else. No matter what, even if he had to risk everything, he would help his daughter realize her dream.

"Of course he’s outstanding. And I’ve heard that he and my little girl are mutually in love. If President Xiao is willing, I can settle your engagement right now. After all, since ancient times, children’s marriages have always been decided by their parents and matchmakers. I’m very much in favor of that. And if you marry my daughter, the entire Xingyu Group will be yours in the future. What do you think?"

Xu Ke was already the president of a branch under Xiao Group. His status wasn’t as high as Headquarters, but at least it was a branch with a very impressive turnover.

So Yang Tian really went all in this time, directly putting the entire Xingyu Group on the table. He didn’t believe that even with this, the boy wouldn’t be moved.

For his daughter, what was a company? At worst, after they got married, the company would still be theirs; it wasn’t like it would end up in someone else’s hands.

But Xu Ke was completely dumbfounded now. What on earth was Yang Tian doing? Had Xingyu Group gone completely bankrupt, so he was trying to stuff it into Xiao Group’s hands? And Xiao Zhen knew and tacitly agreed to park this company here or something?

Xu Ke glanced at Xiao Zhen, while Xiao Zhen’s face was a complete question mark. What was wrong with Yang Tian?

He insisted on handing a perfectly fine Xingyu Group to Xu Ke and even wanted to marry his daughter to him? No way!

Even though Xu Ke really wasn’t much, his own daughter liked Xu Ke. On that point, Xiao Zhen was very clear.
