Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1038 - 1037: Framed

Tang Tang and Guo Guo were puzzled, why was Su’s mother fixated on them?

After all, there’s still Xu Ke in Jiang City.

"Sister, tell me, what exactly happened within the Su Group? I just checked their website, and their revenue is about to surpass ours."

Actually, what Tang Tang and Guo Guo didn’t know is that Suzhou deliberately inflated its revenue to maintain its position in the entire group.

Just to show Su the elder his capability.

In this sense, Suzhou was rather pitiable.

"Guoguo, sometimes things aren’t as complicated as we think, everyone in this circle is pursuing their own interests."

Guoguo nodded, indeed, compared to before, she realized she knew too little.

All along, the sisters grew up under Huyan’s grandfather’s care, rarely facing situations like now.

Fortunately, Tang Tang and Guo Guo weren’t ones to seek comfort too eagerly; they always found ways to keep themselves busy.

Compared to other noble ladies, the two of them were indeed different in many ways.

Guoguo felt lucky to have a sister who always cared for her. She always felt blessed.

Thus, they stayed in this bar’s storeroom day in and day out, as time quietly passed by.

In fact, many times they could have escaped, but thinking of leaving would definitely cause trouble for Long’s men, they’d rather stay here since they could do what they wanted anyway.

But now, Xu Ke already knew they were in this hotel.

It seems Tang Tang and Guo Guo wouldn’t be staying here much longer.

Indeed, that day, Xu Ke arrived at the Dior Hotel. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

His purpose was clear, to retrieve Guoguo and Tang Tang from Brother Long, as he hadn’t seen the two sisters for many days.

Looking at them, Brother Long’s men had been taking good care of them, none of them had noticeably lost weight.

"Ah, Young Master Xu, I didn’t know you were coming today, forgive me for not welcoming you from afar." Brother Long was a smart man, aware that Jiang City’s people weren’t ones he could easily provoke.

Originally, Su’s mother ordered that Tang Tang and Guo Guo not be fed, but he didn’t follow her instructions.

Though they were indeed under house arrest, they weren’t troubled in any way.

Instead, they were provided with good food and drink every day, and indeed, Tang Tang and Guo Guo were quite at ease staying here.

"I heard you have two uninvited guests here; I just want to have a look!"

Xu Ke wasn’t interested in beating around the bush with him.

Indeed, there was no need, Brother Long was straightforward, understanding Xu Ke’s implication immediately.

However, it wasn’t his idea but Su’s mother’s, and he didn’t dare to go against her.

"Xu Ke, I know who you’re talking about, but I’m afraid I can’t release them right now."

Brother Long looked troubled.

The Su Family was not one he dared to provoke; if he inadvertently offended someone he shouldn’t, he might as well shut the bar for good.

In these times, living to this age and still having to consider others’ moods, Brother Long felt inwardly stifled.

To avoid offending the three major families of Jiang City, he was very careful to maintain his relationships with them.

Yet, trouble seemed to find him regardless.

"Is there anyone in Jiang City you’re afraid to offend?"

Xu Ke spoke with implied meaning.

Brother Long understood that Xu Ke had come to demand the release, otherwise, with his temperament, he wouldn’t be in a place like a bar.

To avoid a fallout,

Brother Long had to risk it; he couldn’t afford to offend any of them.

"Since you insist on taking them away, there’s not much I can do. How about you have Mrs. Su give me a call, as long as she agrees, I’ll release them immediately. Surely, Young Master Xu is reasonable and won’t make things difficult for me, right?"

Since it had come to this, he would have to clarify things with Su’s mother, only then would Tang Tang and Guo Guo be released.

However, getting Mrs. Su to agree to release the sisters wasn’t really realistic.

Xu Ke always acted cautiously, he wouldn’t easily gamble on uncertainties like this.

"Alright, rest assured, as long as you take good care of the two of them, I’ll communicate with Mrs. Su as soon as possible."

Brother Long knew Xu Ke was a reasonable person and enjoyed dealing with smart people like him.

Since he had come all this way, the two girls were evidently quite important to him.

After all these years, no other girl had caught Xu Ke’s attention like this before.

"Why don’t you take a look at the two young ladies? Since you made the special trip, they must mean a lot to you, right?"

As Brother Long said this, he had his men bring Tang Tang and Guo Guo over.

Xu Ke didn’t expect them to be doing so well here; it seemed Brother Long treated them decently.

Tang Tang and Guo Guo hadn’t expected Xu Ke to find them here, proving once more how extensive his connections in Jiang City were.

"How come you’re here?"

Guoguo was full of surprise, fearing that what she dreaded had come true.

A few days ago, she told Tang Tang that Xu Ke mustn’t come now, and here he was, just a couple days later.

Her mouth seemed to jinx it.

"Why, can’t I be here? You two left the hospital without saying goodbye, I haven’t even settled accounts with you two yet."

Guoguo sneered, not fearing anything; it clearly wasn’t his fault, so why should she apologize now?

That was too unrealistic.

"Guoguo, watch how you’re talking." Tang Tang said sternly, acknowledging she was a bit out of line.

However, Xu Ke was indeed persistent, following them wherever they went, like a shadow.

"Young Master Xu, are you here to find Guoguo and me today?"

Tang Tang asked unhurriedly, not wanting to leave yet, as there were still many mysteries in this bar she wanted to solve.

"Yes, I came to take you away." Xu Ke was surprised, as Tang Tang and Guoguo were keen to leave with him.

"Sorry for the trouble, Young Master Xu, but Guoguo and I don’t wish to leave just yet, wait until we want to, then you can come for us."

Xu Ke looked baffled, unable to grasp what was on the girls’ minds.
