Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Transfer Money

"As long as you give me the account number and are prepared to sign the severance letter, you don’t need to worry about the money." Xu Ke had one hand in his pocket, looking calmly at Tian Lijun, completely unfazed by his previous sarcasm.

At this moment, although he was standing at the bottom of the steps, there was an undeniable aura about him that commanded respect.

Tian Lijun looked at Xu Ke’s confident demeanor, his mind quickly calculated as he reported his account number. Regardless of whether the other party could come up with the two million, it made no difference to him. As long as he insisted on waiting for the money to arrive before signing, once the money was transferred, he could quickly deny them. What could they do then?

By then, the money would be in his account, and they couldn’t take it back, nor could they force him to sign the severance letter. It was a win-win for him. If the other party couldn’t come up with the two million, he could still marry Xiajuan to another man. Either way, he wouldn’t lose anything, Tian Lijun praised his own cleverness in his mind.

Tian Lijun’s smugness was almost unhidden, and Xu Ke could see through his thoughts at a glance. But Xu Ke didn’t care about his petty schemes. As the saying goes, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trickery are futile. If the other party took his two million, he had countless ways to make him sign the severance letter. Even if the other party didn’t take the money, he had ways to make them beg him to sign the severance letter.

Yang Hui, watching Xu Ke fiddling with his phone, had a grateful expression on his face. Others who didn’t know Xu Ke’s background started cautiously tugging at Yang Hui’s sleeve, whispering, "Can Brother Xu really do it? Does he have that kind of money? I hope he’s not bluffing. If he gets exposed, it’ll be extremely embarrassing. You should talk to him."

"Yeah, although we’re angry too, we can’t overdo it with the bluffing. It’ll be hard to show our faces if we get exposed."

"Brother Xu isn’t someone who speaks big words. If he says he can, he definitely can. I trust him."

Just as Yang Hui finished speaking, Tian Lijun’s phone vibrated. Xu Ke also put away his phone and, looking at Tian Lijun standing on the steps, said, "I’ve already transferred the money. The bank should have sent you a notification by now. Check it out."

"You’re lying through your teeth." Although Tian Lijun continued to sneer at Xu Ke, he quickly grabbed the phone that had just vibrated, seeing Xu Ke’s confident demeanor. His eager action intrigued Tian’s mother, who leaned toward Tian Lijun to see if the two million had indeed reached his account.

With excitement and curiosity, the mother and son opened the phone in front of them. Sure enough, there was a message from the bank. A thought of disbelief suddenly emerged in their minds. After a quick glance at each other, they paused their breathing and opened the unread message. The six zeros representing two million appeared unexpectedly before their eyes, causing their breath to stop for a moment.

"Son, slap me to see if I’m seeing things." Tian’s mother tugged at Tian Lijun’s arm.

Tian Lijun, still indulging in the overwhelming sense of sudden wealth, without thinking, slapped her hard. A crisp sound echoed through the courtyard, interrupting the conversation of those who had doubted Xu Ke’s bluffing, causing them to look in shock at Xu Ke standing in front of them.

Tian’s mother, who got slapped, wasn’t angry at Tian Lijun. They were gleefully counting the zeros in the message. Every time they counted, their smiles spread wider, eventually smiling so much it became a bit twisted.

"The money has already been transferred to you, and the lawyer is on the way. Don’t forget to sign later." Xu Ke, unwilling to look at their disgusting faces any longer, coldly interrupted their silly laughter, refusing to let their repulsive looks taint his eyes.

"Absolutely, absolutely." Tian’s mother quickly nodded her head. noveldrama

Although the other person set to marry Tian Xiajuan came from a family better than the Yangs, it wasn’t to the extent of easily dishing out two million. Plus, seeing this person stand up for Yang Hui today and even acting as his best man, their relationship must be quite strong. Having such a wealthy friend willing to spend money, marrying Xiajuan to Yang Hui suddenly seemed like a great choice.

With Xiajuan having a husband with such wealthy connections, wouldn’t she help her own family a little in the future? By then, Army wouldn’t have trouble finding a good wife, even marrying a TV star wouldn’t be a problem.

Tian’s mother’s thoughts resonated with Tian Lijun’s mind in an instant. No matter what, they wouldn’t sign that severance letter, and they wouldn’t return the money either. The mother and son didn’t say a word or exchange a glance, but their thoughts synchronized at that moment.

Everyone initially wondered if Xu Ke had really transferred the money to the mother and son. At this moment, seeing their ecstatic expressions, there was no question. Those watching the drama in the small courtyard shifted their gaze to Xu Ke, speculating about his identity. It was as if a drop of water had fallen into boiling oil, making the once peaceful courtyard come alive.

"Brother Xu, is it alright to give them the money like this? I have a feeling they won’t sign the severance letter once they have the money." Yang Hui expressed his concern.

"Don’t worry, I have plenty of ways to make them sign." Xu Ke, watching the ecstatic mother and son on the steps, squinted his eyes and spoke slowly.

Even though Xu Ke spoke in his usual voice, Yang Hui somehow sensed a dangerous undertone. A chill started from his spine and rushed to his head, causing his scalp to tingle.

Looking at this Xu Ke, who was now so different from the gentle person he had known, Yang Hui stood in shock.

"What, are you scared of me?"

"No, no matter how you change, you will always be my brother, Xu Ke." Yang Hui shook his head, suppressing any discomfort or fear that had just risen in his heart.

Xu Ke smiled with satisfaction upon hearing Yang Hui’s words, and patted his shoulder, saying, "That’s all I need to hear. I didn’t make you my friend for nothing."

Behind Xu Ke, the groomsmen were also speculating about his identity.

"What’s Brother Xu’s background, to nonchalantly offer so much money? Could he be a hidden rich second-generation?" Someone in the groomsmen speculated, but afraid Xu Ke would overhear their discussion, they kept their voices low, forming a small circle to discuss Xu Ke’s identity. Yang Hui, however, did not participate at all.
