Supreme Heir Son-in-law
Chapter 190 Apology

Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Apology

"I want you to promise me that I will never forgive Lian Xuan, and our Chu Family will not cooperate with the Lian Family in any way," Chu Lian urgently assured Xu Ke.

Xu Ke cut the peeled apple into pieces, skewered them with a bamboo stick, and handed them to Chu Lian. He said in a helpless yet indulgent tone, "People change, and any guarantees are untrustworthy."

"Then what do you want me to do to make you willing to help me? What do you want me to do to prove my determination?" Chu Lian tried to get up from the bed, but because she moved too suddenly, her wound was strained, and she fell back down. Her cheeks, which had a slight flush earlier, instantly turned pale, almost translucent.

While Chu Lian was still entangled with this matter, Chu Tianyang came into the room with Lian Xuan.

"Xiao Lian, I brought Lian Xuan to see you," Chu Tianyang looked at his pale, bloodless daughter, and his eyes turned red in an instant. If it weren’t for the two younger people present, he might have shed tears on the spot.

"If you have something to say to my daughter, say it quickly," Chu Tianyang shoved Lian Xuan with a warning glance, speaking in an unfriendly tone.

Lian Xuan furrowed his brows and glanced at Chu Lian. After taking a deep breath, he said, "What I did today was wrong, but I was just too anxious at the time, which is why I acted without thinking. I hope you can forgive me."

"Lian Xuan, is this your attitude when apologizing? Do you know that because of you, I will never have children in my life? All this is because of you. You deprived me of the right to become a mother," Chu Lian threw the apples Xu Ke had just cut across at Lian Xuan, angered. Despite the pain, she used all her strength, but Lian Xuan dodged by stepping back.

"Although I did kick you, you can’t blame me for not being able to have children, can you? What does that have to do with me?" Lian Xuan frowned tightly, his eyes unfriendly as he spoke.

"Young Master Lian, your words are shameless. Miss Chu’s uterine bleeding was due to your kick, and the doctor has given a final verdict. If you don’t believe it, you can go ask, unless Young Master Lian has no shame and refuses to admit it," Xu Ke’s gaze circled around the apples on the ground before falling on Lian Xuan. His eyes showed no emotion, but Lian Xuan could see disdain and ridicule within them.

"As the saying goes, ’you reap what you sow.’ If it weren’t for you causing trouble for Duo’er, I wouldn’t have laid a hand on you, and none of this would have happened. Besides, your uterine bleeding really is an accident. I didn’t know you were so fragile; otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it. But since it happened, I won’t escape responsibility, and I will compensate you," Lian Xuan ruffled his hair, speaking with impatience.

"How do you intend to compensate her? What can you possibly compensate?" Chu Tianyang’s eyes could almost eat the Lian Family alive. If looks could kill, the Lian Family would have faced a gruesome death.

In the hospital room, due to her recent outburst, Chu Lian lay on the bed clutching her stomach, covered in sweat, her face utterly pale without any hint of color. The only color on her face was from her blood-filled lower lip, which she was biting tightly. She had no strength to speak, could only glare fiercely at Lian Xuan.

Xu Ke’s brow was also furrowed tightly. A man without the slightest bit of responsibility was truly revolting.

"What nonsense are you saying," Lian Dingtian immediately kicked Lian Xuan, causing him to kneel on the ground, his knees hitting the floor with a thud, changing Lian Xuan’s complexion.

"I’m here to apologize, and look at your behavior. Is this how you apologize? Are those even human words?" Lian Dingtian was furious with his son’s inappropriate behavior, while also harboring a great deal of disgust for the other female protagonist of this incident.

"The Lian Family will certainly provide an explanation to the Chu Family for this matter. The root cause of all this is Yi Duo’er, that fox. I will revoke her endorsement right away and put her on ice until her agent brings her to apologize to Xiao Lian personally, and won’t stop until she’s satisfied," Lian Dingtian said.

"And what about Lian Xuan? He’s the one who laid hands, and now he says this. Your Lian Family truly is well-raised and cultured, producing such garbage that harmed my daughter to this state. Do I need you to deliver such trash to me? A worthless person like that, I could crush a whole bunch with one finger. Do I require you to do it? I want the main perpetrator to pay the price!" Chu Tianyang said loudly, pointing at Lian Xuan.

"Then what do you want the Lian Family to do?" Lian Dingtian frowned, speaking somewhat impatiently.

"I want him to marry my daughter and have no other woman in his life; there needs to be a contract. If any infidelity occurs, he will leave my daughter’s side with nothing, and all Lian Family shares will be inherited by my daughter."

"I disagree."

"I disagree."

"I disagree."

These three voices came separately from the three members of the Lian Family.

"I can agree to any other request, but not this one. If it were before, this condition would not be an issue at all, but now you know the situation with Chu Lian. Our Lian Family has only Lian Xuan as a child, and the family line cannot be broken in my son’s generation. So, how about they get married, but the family line cannot be broken? We need to arrange for a surrogate to have a child on their behalf, and the child will take Chu Lian’s name. Should my son cheat after marriage, all of Lian Family’s property will be handed to their son. How about that?" Lian Dingtian said.

This time, the Chu Family was literally laughing in anger, and even Xu Ke couldn’t help but chuckle.

"I was just wondering why your son has this attitude, but now it seems it’s inherited from family teaching. I’m truly impressed," Xu Ke said with a raised corner of his mouth and unconcealed disdain in his eyes.

"Xu Ke, this is a matter between our two families, and it has nothing to do with an outsider like you. Do not meddle," Lian Dingtian was exasperated with the mockery from the Chu Family, and now Xu Ke, a junior, ridiculed him. Naturally, he took out all his anger on Xu Ke, and his words were filled with hostility.

"Shut your mouth. How come your Lian Family acts shamelessly yet doesn’t let others speak? When furious, is it anger out of shame? Bah! Leave this hospital room immediately; you’re polluting the air by being here. From today onwards, the Chu Family and the Lian Family are enemies. In Shangjing, it’s either you or us," Chu Tianyang pointed at Lian Dingtian’s nose and said loudly.

Lian Dingtian squinted slightly, his tone somber, "Chu Tianyang, are you serious about these words? How many years have our two families cooperated? Do you know the losses we’ll both incur if we split? We’ll end up hurting each other and letting others benefit for no reason," as Lian Dingtian said this, his eyes discreetly glanced toward Xu Ke.
