"To be honest, when my goddaughter first introduced you to me, I really didn’t like you at all. I just felt like someone was taking my goddaughter away. But gradually, I began to see you as a very capable young man."

During that time, Yang Shi saw how much her daughter and she liked this young man, so she secretly observed Xu Ke for a long time, even looking into a lot of information. When she found out Xu Ke had no background at all, Yang Shi felt like she had witnessed a miracle.

Arriving at the entrance of the Xiao Group’s headquarters, Yang Shi went straight in. She never expected that the two of them would bump into Su Zining. At that moment, Su Zining was at the reception desk, and the receptionists were all very respectful because Su Zining was Xiao Keyi’s fiancé.

Su Zining was particularly troubled during this time. He had made quite a few pastries, all styled after Xiao Zhen’s preference, and even took the time to learn how. But Xiao Keyi wasn’t pleased in the slightest, nor had she given him the time of day, not to mention allowing him to enter that so-called office.

So at this moment, Su Zining was extremely frustrated. Wasn’t he her fiancé? Why was he being treated so coldly? Thinking about how he intended to ask Xiao Zhen for help, but couldn’t even get through on the phone, and had no chance to meet him. Even though the receptionists were respectful, they all refused when he mentioned going to the top floor.

"But the assistant on the top floor said there’s no invitation for you at all. You’d better wait. I’ve already spoken to the assistant, and if they agree, I’ll take you up immediately."

Su Zining was becoming impatient and was ready to leave when he caught sight of Xu Ke. There was someone else in front of Xu Ke. What were these two doing at Xiao Group? Thinking about his fiancée and then about Xu Ke, he suddenly became fearful.

Clenching his fists, he walked up to Xu Ke with a forced smile, waving the items in his hand: "Oh, what a coincidence! I came to deliver something to my fiancée, and I didn’t expect you to be here. Why do you still have your mind on my fiancée? But my fiancée doesn’t like you; I hope you won’t disturb her anymore. As a man, you should have some dignity. I hope you have some sense and don’t bother my fiancée; otherwise, I won’t be polite to you."

When Su Zining said this, he was particularly smug, especially emphasizing the words "my fiancée," hoping Xu Ke would remember it. Unexpectedly, Xu Ke simply snorted with laughter: "Since that’s the case, you’re here with your stuff. What does it have to do with me? Is there any need to show off to me?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Hearing Xu Ke’s indifferent comments, Su Zining felt like spitting blood. If he could deliver his things inside, would he be showing off here? But he simply couldn’t get them in.

However, if he couldn’t get in, he certainly couldn’t let Xu Ke in. If Xu Ke went in and spoke with his fiancée, and then sparks flew, wouldn’t his fiancée be swayed by Xu Ke? Thinking this, he immediately stood in front of Xu Ke.

"Oh, you’re an uneducated person who was dismissed at the banquet that night. How dare you show your face at the Xiao Group now? If I were you, I would’ve left long ago. But you keep shamelessly coming back. My fiancée is already very upset and certainly doesn’t want to see you. I hope you leave and stop bothering her."

Hearing Su Zining’s words, Xu Ke stepped forward and grabbed Su Zining by the collar. That day, he held back for the sake of the old master Xiao’s birthday banquet. But today, Xu Ke wouldn’t tolerate it.

Su Zining never expected Xu Ke to actually make a move, so he became a bit afraid and dropped the pastries in his hand onto the ground.

"What now? We’re at the headquarters with so many surveillance cameras watching. Are you really going to make a move here? If you do, my fiancée will come by soon. How do you think she’ll react when she sees you like this?"

"You haven’t gotten anything yet, and you’re already panicking, resorting to such unscrupulous means. But it still won’t work. What’s mine is mine. You’re just an ant. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck."

After finishing his words, Su Zining felt pain in his body. Looking up, he saw Xu Ke looking down at him with his foot pressed on him. Su Zining was mortified, struggling like he was pinned under a stone, unable to break free.

Everyone around looked over, and seen this scene, none expected it to go this way.

No one had ever fought at the Xiao Group before. The Xiao Group was revered by all—who would dare to fight here, courting death?

"Aren’t you going to let me go? There are so many people watching. Look at you, like a country bumpkin, not understanding any rules. So you’re behaving like a rogue here? I warn you, this is the Xiao Group, so you better stop now."

After Su Zining finished speaking, he felt a heavier force on his stomach, causing him to gasp and his face to turn pale, unable to say anything more.

The people at the reception desk gathered more and more. They didn’t expect Xu Ke to be so arrogant, bullying people directly at the headquarters.

"This is too outrageous, bullying someone at the headquarters. I can’t stand it! If Xiao Zhen finds out, he’ll strip him of his branch president title. He’s daring to be so arrogant here—it’s just inappropriate."

"But poor Su Zining, getting trampled like that, it’s over the line. If it were me, I’d hate that person for life. Besides, he’s Xiao Keyi’s fiancé. Xiao Keyi choosing Xu Ke is her misfortune."

"Exactly. If it were me, I’d never fancy this country bumpkin; he’s crude, and doing such things is simply unforgivable."

Listening to the surrounding chatter, all eyes were on Xu Ke, hoping he would come to his senses. But Xu Ke, having endured long enough, couldn’t bear the imposter flaunting here any longer.

"I told you, impersonating me is one thing, but constantly showing off in front of me challenges my limits. Since that’s the case, I don’t mind dealing with you."

Seeing the hatred in Xu Ke’s eyes, Su Zining was genuinely scared. Did Xu Ke want to go down together in mutual destruction? He didn’t want to die here, especially with so much wealth and status at stake.
