Supreme Heir Son-in-law
Chapter 117: Causing Trouble

Lin Shichang’s proposal was exactly what Xu Ke wanted, and he responded without any hesitation.

"You can move in, but you must follow my rules when you do. If you can’t, then get the hell out, or else, even if you don’t leave, I’ll find a way to kick you out of this villa," Xu Ke’s gaze was cold as he looked over the three of them, stopping briefly on Lin Mengchen with a look of displeasure before moving on casually.

"This is Mengyao’s home. We are Mengyao’s parents. What does this have to do with an outsider like you? This is the Lin Family, not the Xu Family. Stop acting like you have authority here; it’s absolutely laughable," Li Lihua waved her hand, completely forgetting how Xu Ke had just frightened her.

Xu Ke shot her a cold glance and continued speaking, "Without Mengyao’s and my permission, you cannot go to the second floor. Without our permission, you cannot bring others into this villa. Without permission, you cannot touch anything in the house, and if you break any of these rules, you won’t stay here any longer. I’ll pack you up and send you back."

"We are Mengyao’s parents. We live wherever we want, do whatever we like. None of your business," Li Lihua rolled her eyes, obviously not taking Xu Ke’s words seriously.

"Sister Zhou, find them two rooms on the first floor," Xu Ke didn’t even spare them a glance, directly instructing Sister Zhou.

"Yes, sir," Sister Zhou responded as she emerged silently from the shadows upon hearing Xu Ke call her name.

"When did you appear? You scared the life out of me," Li Lihua jumped in surprise at Sister Zhou’s sudden appearance, patting her chest in shock, then stopped Xu Ke as he was about to go upstairs, questioning, "You actually hired a maid? Wow, you live so well, but you never think of us. Do you even have a conscience?"

"I’ve told you Mengyao is sick and resting. If you keep making such a racket, I’ll call security to kick you out," Xu Ke scowled, looking displeased.

Looking at Xu Ke standing on the steps, Li Lihua suddenly felt herself a head shorter than Xu Ke. The curses she was about to hurl just died in her throat.

When Xu Ke saw them quiet down and no longer intending to argue, he turned and continued upstairs, but as he turned, he glanced at Lin Mengchen once more.

Lin Mengchen didn’t give him a good feeling. In the future, he needed Sister Zhou to keep an eye on her, Xu Ke thought to himself.

As Xu Ke’s figure disappeared upstairs, Li Lihua finally felt a little relieved, the resentment in her heart slowly fading away, "Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, please follow me. I’ll take you to your new rooms." Sister Zhou extended a hand, gesturing politely.

"Hmph, why are you still standing there dumbfounded? Have some sense, move quickly," Li Lihua, feeling upset, kicked Sister Zhou as she spoke.

Sister Zhou staggered from the kick; at her age, being kicked like a child made her face flush with either anger or shame, but considering the other party as the benefactor’s parents, Sister Zhou said nothing and led them to the largest room on the first floor.

"This is your room, and Miss Lin’s room is next door. Please follow me," Sister Zhou was about to turn and guide Lin Mengchen to her room when Li Lihua stopped her.

"You’re letting us sleep in such a shabby room? No way, I want to switch."

"Mrs. Lin, this room is already the largest on the first floor."

"Then find one on the second floor," Li Lihua demanded with her hands on her hips.

"But sir said you’re not allowed to go to the second floor," Sister Zhou said, looking troubled.

"This is my daughter’s house; he has no say here. What can he do if I go up there? He can’t actually throw me out, right? Move," Li Lihua felt emboldened quickly pushing aside the pressure Xu Ke just gave her, stomping in high heels towards the second floor.

"Mrs. Lin, you can’t go, sir said you’re not allowed, please don’t make things difficult for me," Sister Zhou was pushed aside by Li Lihua and quickly pursued her after regaining balance.

Lin Shichang said nothing but following behind Li Lihua already expressed his stance while Lin Mengchen watched it all with a look of anticipation for drama.

"Mrs. Lin!"

As Li Lihua climbed a few steps, Sister Zhou grabbed her arm, "Mrs. Lin, sir said you cannot go up." Sister Zhou insisted, pulling at Li Lihua’s sleeve, her eyes resolute.

"You’re so annoying, get lost," Li Lihua, unexpectedly bothered by Sister Zhou’s persistence, swung her arm, forcefully shaking Sister Zhou off, causing her to stumble down the stairs.

Thudding sounds resonated from the stairs, shocking everyone with the sudden development, while Xu Ke, appearing at the top of the staircase at some point, frowned darkly at the scene.

"It’s not my fault. She chased after me and couldn’t stand properly herself, and that’s why she fell. It has nothing to do with me," Li Lihua, panicked and waving her hands in defense, tried to explain after seeing Sister Zhou still lying on the ground.

Xu Ke walked past Li Lihua, lazily even giving her a look. He’d always known Li Lihua could cause trouble, but he didn’t expect her to manage such a feat in under an hour.

Xu Ke squatted next to Sister Zhou, "Sister Zhou, can you still understand? Where does it hurt?"

"My right leg and waist hurt a bit," Sister Zhou maintained her falling position, not daring to move, gasping in pain.

Hearing Sister Zhou’s words, Xu Ke immediately checked her over. After a while, his tense face relaxed, "The bones are fine, probably just twisted. I’ll help you back to your room to rest."

"All of you stay where you are, and anyone who tries to go to the second floor, I’ll throw out," leaving these words, Xu Ke helped Sister Zhou back inside, leaving the Lin family standing where they were.

"Take your time recovering; don’t go back to work. I’ll make sure you receive your full pay, and I will address today’s incident," Xu Ke promised Sister Zhou.

"Don’t let this ruin your family’s relationships; I’ll be fine in a couple of days," Sister Zhou said, suppressing her pain.
