Chapter 120: Chapter 120 She is My Wife

Song Meishu glanced at Xu Ke, who had been standing by with his eyes glued to Lin Mengyao, and then at Lin Mengyao, who was showing signs of impatience. Turning her eyes around, amidst a wave of compliments from everyone, she inquired, "Lihua, don’t just introduce your daughter; that young man standing behind you has been there for quite a while. Aren’t you going to introduce him as well?"

As soon as Song Meishu’s words came out, everyone’s gaze indeed shifted to Xu Ke. Xu Ke responded with a gentle smile to the probing eyes, while the smile on Li Lihua’s face completely disappeared. "What’s there to introduce about him? He’s not worth introducing, just someone freeloading in our house. It’s almost dinnertime, go and make the meal for me," Li Lihua instructed Xu Ke.

Li Lihua had no intention of introducing Xu Ke and treated him poorly, causing the onlookers to withdraw their gaze from Xu Ke. Their looks were filled with blatant disdain, and someone even directly said to Xu Ke, "So young and healthy, why insist on freeloading at someone else’s house, acting sluggishly when told to do something? Young people nowadays, truly beyond words."

"You shouldn’t put it that way; after all, people like him are in the minority. My son, for example, is a promising young talent, recently graduated, and sought after by various well-known enterprises. Just a few days ago, Jiahe Group offered him a position, asking him to start next week with an annual salary of over a million."

"Mom, please stop, it’s making me embarrassed," the young man praised by his own mother said, seemingly embarrassed, but his eyes were fixated on Lin Mengyao. When Lin Mengyao’s gaze fell on him, he pulled a smile he thought was charming, trying to retain her attention.

Everyone present was savvy enough to understand the young man’s intentions upon seeing his behavior. Consequently, the topic shifted, and everyone began to tease Lin Mengyao and the young man.

"Wow, at our old folks’ reunion, it’s unexpected that we might bring a pair together. What a delightful surprise, they’re truly a perfect match, talented man and beautiful woman."

"Exactly, exactly, Mengyao, so young, could buy such a big villa on her own, truly capable. Jiang Cheng, too, young and already earning millions annually. Although it might pale slightly compared to Mengyao’s achievements, he’s just graduated, so the future holds great potential. The two are a perfect strong combination."

With someone agreeing, the crowd began to egg each other on, everyone speaking at once, leaving Lin Mengyao no room to interject. Lin Mengyao wanted to leave, but her hand was tightly gripped by Li Lihua, unable to break free, so she could only keep sending comforting gazes to Xu Ke.

Standing outside the crowd, Xu Ke, seeing Lin Mengyao’s anxious eyes, gave her a reassuring smile, yet his palm almost dug deep behind his back from restraint.

Li Lihua’s intentions were so apparent by now that even a bystander could see them. If there weren’t so many people, Xu Ke might have grabbed Li Lihua by the collar and thrown the annoying woman out, ensuring she could never step foot in the villa again. But with so many people around, his good upbringing made him suppress all violent emotions deep within, showing only the most sunny, positive side to Lin Mengyao.

While Lin Mengyao was exchanging glances with Xu Ke, Jiang Cheng, urged by the crowd, adjusted his collar and approached Lin Mengyao, giving her a gentleman’s bow. "Beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the chance to have dinner with you."

The bustling living room suddenly quieted down, everyone watching Lin Mengyao and Jiang Cheng with eager and affectionate eyes.

"Why are you still hesitating? Agree quickly," Li Lihua pinched the soft flesh on Lin Mengyao’s waist sharply, almost making her cry out, but fortunately, the sound was quickly muffled by her clenching teeth.

As the focus of the incident, Lin Mengyao got all the attention. "Sorry, I already have a husband, so I won’t accept your invitation," Lin Mengyao lifted her head, coldly rejecting him. At that moment, Xu Ke’s clenched hand finally loosened slightly.

"I know, but aren’t you going to divorce soon? So, I’m not concerned that you’ve been married," Jiang Cheng was taken aback by Lin Mengyao’s rejection, then smiled and said.

"I don’t know where you got your misinformation from, but my wife’s and I have a very good relationship, and we won’t divorce. So give up," Xu Ke couldn’t hold back any longer. Striding through the crowd with his long legs, he walked over to Lin Mengyao’s side, took her back from Li Lihua, half-embracing her to declare his ownership.

Jiang Cheng brushed nonexistent dust from his sleeve, giving Xu Ke a light laugh. "What do you have besides a face? Do you really think you can match Miss Mengyao? Miss Mengyao, at such a young age, was able to buy a villa at Kangshi Mountain through her efforts, while you... you’re just a leech, sucking her blood. Other than being a burden to Miss Mengyao, you’re nothing."

"Besides, Miss Mengyao is a graduate from a prestigious school. What about you? Did you even finish high school? So, all things considered, besides your face, you have nothing. If you truly love Miss Mengyao, you should give her freedom to find someone who matches her in every way and truly loves her, or are you just unwilling to part with Miss Mengyao’s money, like a leech stuck to her for its blood and flesh?"

Jiang Cheng’s words were cutting without a single swear word, stabbing at Xu Ke. If Xu Ke truly had nothing but a face, he might have lost his composure due to Jiang Cheng’s words. But he wasn’t, so those words were like scratches falling on him, doing nothing but making him want to laugh.

"You’re overthinking it. In Mengyao’s heart, I meet all the criteria you mentioned, so you simply have no chance," Xu Ke said with a smile on his face, but his smile held no warmth.

"Xu Ke, shut up, what right do you have to speak here? Go upstairs!" Li Lihua shouted, pointing at Xu Ke’s nose.

"The one who should shut up is you. I’ve been giving you face because you’re Mengyao’s mother, but you’re trying to take Mengyao away from me. Seems I’ve been too lenient on you, daring to ride roughshod over me." Xu Ke squinted slightly, looking at Li Lihua.

"Sorry everyone, we have some family matters to attend to, so we might not be able to entertain you properly today," Xu Ke issued a cold eviction order.

"No need to leave, you’re the one who should go. This is my daughter’s house. What right do you have to drive away my guests?" Li Lihua said, her face flushed with anger.

"Mengyao, say something! Are you just going to watch your mom being bullied?" Li Lihua shouted at Lin Mengyao.
