Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1076 - 1075: Heart-to-Heart Conversation

Unknowingly, Lin Yi seemed to hear the commotion outside the room; her eyes were closed, refusing to wake up.

If she wakes up and opens her eyes, she’ll have to face all sorts of things, and she won’t be able to continue living like this.

Lin Yi understood that she grew up without a mother, and compared to her outstanding fiancé, indeed, she felt much inferior.

But now, it’s not just about feeling inferior; there’s also the pressure from Mrs. Su.

Lin Yi always felt that a mother should only bring warmth to a child, but she saw strength in Mrs. Su.

If her mother were alive, would she be like this too?

"Lin Yi, are you okay? Say something to uncle and auntie."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Yi seemed to be jolted awake from a deep sleep.

She glanced at her phone; it was already approaching ten o’clock in the morning. Oh no, she was completely doomed.

Her image was ruined. But perhaps that might be good; maybe Mrs. Su would cancel the engagement, and she would be free.

Lin Yi sprang up from the bed; she immediately threw off the quilt and rushed to the door.

A beam of light shone into the room.

Seeing Lin Yi sweating profusely, Mrs. Su was beyond worried.

"Yiyi, are you okay? You scared auntie to death."

Mrs. Su hurriedly hugged Lin Yi; at this moment, Lin Yi was drenched in sweat, even her forehead was sweaty.

Seeing Lin Yi like this, Mrs. Su could no longer bring herself to berate her.

At this moment, the locksmith also arrived, though he truly wasn’t needed anymore.

He made a trip for nothing.

Mrs. Su felt a bit embarrassed, so to lessen the awkwardness, she bought a few locks from the locksmith.

Then she had Aunt Chen send him on his way.

"Yiyi, tell me, were you dreaming? Why are you sweating all over?"

Is she actually concerned about me?

This was Lin Yi’s only thought.

Growing up, she never received such treatment from anyone.

Seeing Lin Yi silent, Mrs. Su realized she must have dreamt something unpleasant, and she held Lin Yi even tighter.

But this made Lin Yi even more uncomfortable.

All her life, she’d never experienced what a mother’s embrace was like.

"Auntie, don’t worry, I’m fine. Sorry for worrying you."

"What are you saying, Yiyi? From now on, don’t call me auntie. Regardless of whether you and Xiaozhou end up together, auntie will support you both."

As soon as Mrs. Su said this, Lin Yi suddenly felt like she had something.

Is this statement hinting she can refuse this commercial marriage?

Seeing Lin Yi’s mood suddenly improve a bit, Mrs. Su felt relieved.

"Madam, here’s the porridge you requested for Miss Lin."

Upon hearing Aunt Chen speak, Mrs. Su turned and said, "Understood, just leave it there. Aunt Chen, go about your tasks. I don’t need assistance; I’ll chat with Yiyi."

"Understood, madam. If you need anything, just call me; I’ll be in the yard."

Mrs. Su nodded, and Aunt Chen went off.

Lin Yi didn’t understand why this mother from Suzhou would send Aunt Chen off—does she have something to say?

However, Lin Yi could sense that Mrs. Su wasn’t as difficult to communicate with as she imagined.

Maybe there really is something urgent.

Or it’s about this commercial engagement in Suzhou.

"Yiyi, auntie just wants to chat with you, don’t let it weigh on you."

Lin Yi nodded, but she indeed felt a heavy burden. Ever since learning of the engagement with Suzhou, she hadn’t had a single good night’s sleep.

"Auntie, whatever it is, just say it. Don’t worry about my feelings; just speak."

Mrs. Su is a wise, experienced woman, understanding what’s behind Lin Yi’s words.

Maybe the young girl harbors some misunderstandings about her.

Perhaps the reality isn’t as she imagines.

"Yiyi, you don’t want to marry our Xiaozhou, do you?"

Mrs. Su’s eyes were sincere, as if discussing something utterly mundane.

However, for Lin Yi, this matter was immensely significant.

Could she speak the truth now?

If she spoke the truth, would her father’s company face a crisis? For some reason, the memory of that scene at the café came to Lin Yi’s mind.

Xu Ke had told her that in life, we live not only for ourselves but for those who are important in our lives.

Only then can we explore the true essence of life.

Lin Yi knew her father was her only hope; she’s always been like this—without thoughts, without setbacks.

At times, Lin Yi indeed disliked herself; Tangtang and Guoguo were about her age, but both were more decisive and had ideas. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Why do those around her like to complain, yet she, she had nothing?

For so many years, she’d grown under her father’s care.

"Auntie, no, you’re overthinking."

Seeing Lin Yi’s evasive gaze, Mrs. Su knew the girl was lying to her.

But that’s not important; what matters is that if Lin Yi made this decision, there would be no turning back later.

Mrs. Su had already had her people investigate; Lin Yi grew up with her father.

She didn’t have close friends, only Tangtang and Guoguo as companions—and Tangtang and Guoguo were Huyan family’s favorites.

If Lin Yi really married Suzhou, she might forge certain ties with the Huyan family, perhaps bringing further business opportunities.

"Alright, I understand. You can rest assured; I’ll follow through. This matter, leave it to me."

At this moment, Xu Ke was already instructing his people to investigate the whole affair.

"Yes, make sure it goes as if you’re following instructions. Don’t worry, this matter will be handled by me."

Xu Ke arranged things while thinking about Lin Yi.

He can sense that Lin Yi is not just any ordinary girl, especially since she’s Tangtang and Guoguo’s friend.

There must be something exemplary about her.

Yet, what’s piquing Xu Ke’s curiosity is why he hadn’t heard Tangtang and Guoguo mention their friend before.

Xu Ke, who never smoked, lit a cigarette.

His assistant, Xiaoke, watched, puzzled, because previously Xu Ke never smoked; why the interest now?

It seems that even strong men struggle when it comes to women.

"Hey, Xiaoke, what’s up with Boss? I never noticed we had a boss who smoked."

"Haha, you wouldn’t understand, would you? Look at what kind of person Boss is—he’s doing it for the girl he likes."

What? Boss actually has a girl he likes.

"No way, Xiaoke. Where did you hear that? Is it true?"
