Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Farce

"The matter has been settled." The woman stood in front of the desk and said to Zhong Boyu.

"Mm, I know, well done." Zhong Boyu praised, "Why aren’t you leaving?" Seeing the woman didn’t seem to want to leave, Zhong Boyu raised his head and asked.

"I overheard something else in another room." The woman then recounted in detail parts she’d overheard about Wen Yating preparing to kill and dispose of a body.

Zhong Boyu hadn’t expected that woman to be so crazy, crazier than usual, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Alright, I know about this. You don’t need to worry anymore, return to your post." Zhong Boyu put down the document in his hand and only after seeing the woman leave and close the door did he take his eyes off the document, staring into a corner of the room, his eyebrows slightly raised, looking both sensual and dangerous.

"To come up with such a plan, it really is vicious." Zhong Boyu said with a cold laugh.

"Need me to..." The woman didn’t finish her sentence, making a throat-slitting gesture with her hand, eyes gleaming with savagery like a beast roaring within its cage, ready to kill once the cage was opened.

"No need, let’s just leave it for now. In the future, don’t always think about resorting to violence. Remember, we’re legitimate business people, understand?" Zhong Boyu gave the woman a meaningful look before waving her away.

At the dance, four beautiful men and women appeared at the entrance, naturally drawing attention, especially as one of them was the cruise’s owner, Zhong Boyu.

Those who had been looking for the protagonist of the dance moved over involuntarily upon seeing Zhong Boyu, and some even approached Xu Ke and the others, trying to glean information from them, including Wen Guoxu and Wen Yating.

The women at the dance wore light clothing, but Wen Yating was wrapped up unusually tightly, looking like she had stepped out of the past century, at odds with her surroundings.

"Hello, I’m Wen Guoxu, Yating’s father. I apologize for today’s incident. My daughter has been spoiled by me and caused such a mess. However, after educating her properly, she has realized her mistake, so I’ve brought her here to apologize. I hope you’ll forgive her earlier transgressions." As Wen Guoxu spoke, he moved Wen Yating out from behind him, giving her a stern look unseen by the others.

Frankly, they didn’t see a trace of apology in Wen Yating. Her face and eyes were hard, as if others owed her money, showing no sign of remorse.

Wen Guoxu waited for a long time without hearing Wen Yating offer an apology, and his smile was becoming increasingly forced. "Yating, why aren’t you speaking? Is your throat uncomfortable?" He patted Wen Yating’s back, giving her a warning look.

"Why are you patting me? I’ve never thought I was wrong. Good things should belong to me. Anything I set my sights on should be mine. Anyone who tries to take from me, I’ll make regret. So I won’t apologize. If you want to apologize, do it yourself. I, Wen Yating, will never make a mistake, ever!" Wen Yating laughed hysterically, her sharp voice grating and chilling to hear.

Wen Guoxu’s face turned completely dark, looking at Wen Yating with disappointment and anger in his eyes.

"Are you crazy?" Wen Guoxu grabbed Wen Yating’s arm with such force that her previously bandaged wound split open again, red blood soaking her white sleeve, like red plum blossoms blooming slowly in the snow. Wen Yating’s brows furrowed momentarily, then smoothed out quickly.

"Go ahead, choke me to death. You’ve already learned to find other women. Soon enough, you’ll have new children. There’s no need to keep this failure of a daughter, right?" Wen Yating sneered as she spoke, her gaze toward Wen Guoxu aggressive.

"Xu Ke, let’s leave. I don’t want to stand here anymore." Lin Mengyao curled her finger at Xu Ke, feeling uncomfortable with Wen Yating, making her want to leave.

Lin Mengyao wanted to leave, but someone disagreed. When Wen Yating saw Lin Mengyao trying to leave, she immediately grabbed Lin Mengyao’s arm. "Leaving? Isn’t this what you wanted to see? Now that it’s as you wished, why try to leave without seeing it to the end? By the way, you match my dad’s taste well. The woman he was with today looked a lot like you. Are you trying to be my stepmother? Have my dad’s child? Maybe he’d be so happy he’d let you stomp on me. Actually, you’ve already been riding my neck. You probably already slept with my old man. Otherwise, why would he keep backing you and disgracing his own daughter?"

Xu Ke slapped Wen Yating’s face with a loud smack, causing her head to swing to one side. The slap was so forceful that Wen Yating’s ears rang, the sounds around her quieting while the world seemed to grow noisy.

"If you can’t speak properly, then shut your mouth." Xu Ke said coldly, his gaze chilling.

Wen Yating’s previously mad expression melted away under Xu Ke’s gaze, her frenzy dissipating like a fog in the wind. Everything around her became clearer, and her strained nerve of fear seemed reconnected at this moment.

"I heard your family is in the furniture business. It just so happens I’m quite interested in the furniture business recently. Wen Guoxu, I’ll remember that name." Xu Ke looked at Wen Guoxu with a meaningful smile, like a snake hiding in the dark, making Wen Guoxu’s hair stand on end.

"May I ask, which is your esteemed company?" Wen Guoxu inquired.

"Shangjing, Xu Family." Xu Ke gave Wen Guoxu a deep look before leaving with Lin Mengyao and Yu Xia.

Behind him, Wen Guoxu felt his vision go dark, legs weakening, and a massive shadow clouded his heart. His mind was filled with one thought: he was finished.

Regaining his composure, Wen Guoxu turned to find Wen Yating, crazed in demeanor, grabbing her hair with one hand and slapping her face with the other, once, then again.

Initially, Wen Yating didn’t react, taking Wen Guoxu’s harsh slaps. Once she realized, she fought back like a madwoman, not even feeling when her arm wound split again, scratching at Wen Guoxu’s face with sharp nails like a madwoman. In a turn of events, father and daughter were beating each other as if they were enemies.

Though Wen Guoxu was older, he was still a man, and Wen Yating was injured. Though her resistance was fierce at first, he eventually gained the upper hand, "How did I sire such a worthless scourge? I should have drowned you at birth." Wen Guoxu spoke bitterly.

"I should have strangled you, should have strangled you." Wen Guoxu repeated continuously, his hands slowly creeping toward Wen Yating’s neck. noveldrama

Wen Yating only felt her neck tightly squeezed, unable to breathe, no matter how she struggled to gasp for air, her lungs burning as if on fire.

Wen Yating gripped Wen Guoxu’s hands tightly, trying to pry them off, but even when her nails dug into his flesh, Wen Guoxu did not relent but squeezed harder.

Wen Yating’s cheeks turned from red to blue and purple, her pupils dilating, looking eerie, eyes rolling back, black pupils disappearing under her eyelids, veins bulging on her face like earthworms burrowing beneath the soil.

The onlookers grew fearful, disregarded their status, and rushed forward to pry Wen Guoxu’s hands apart, pulling him away.

Suddenly inhaling fresh air, Wen Yating gasped deeply but choked, coughing hoarsely, sounding as if her throat were injured.

Wen Yating touched her neck, coughing forcefully, her long hair hanging over her cheeks, obscuring her venomous gaze.
