Chapter 298 - Brother-in-law

While Su Ming was grappling with a headache, he suddenly heard a car approaching.

A black car gradually pulled up to the curb.

The door swung open.

A striking woman emerged from the vehicle.

“Sister?”

Xiao Chen was taken aback upon seeing her.

“Mr. Su?”

The striking woman was equally surprised to see Su Ming.

“Is he your brother?”

Su Ming gestured towards Xiao Chen, momentarily taken aback.

The trio stood together on the roadside.

The woman who exited the vehicle was Xiao Ke'er.

She carried herself with poise and grace.

He had assumed that all her family members were as composed and graceful.

So why was Xiao Ke'er's brother acting so playfully?

“Mr. Su, how did you come to meet my brother?”

Xiao Ke'er inquired, puzzled.

“Just now.”

Su Ming responded.

Xiao Ke'er glanced at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen nodded and confirmed, “Yes, about half an hour ago.”

“Mr. Su, I apologize. My brother has been quite mischievous since childhood. Has he caused any problems?”

Xiao Ke'er asked apologetically.

“Sis! I haven’t caused any trouble at all!”

Xiao Chen protested unhappily.

He noticed Xiao Ke'er's disapproving look.

Xiao Chen felt displeased.

Why did she look at him with such skepticism?

After all, he was her brother!

His sister was known among the elite families of the capital as the stoic ice beauty.

She had never been so gentle with any other young men.

Could it be that Su Ming was potentially his brother-in-law?

“Brother-in-law!”

An idea had sparked in her mind.

She knew the chances were slim, but she felt it was worth a shot.

Su Ming handed back the prescription.

His expression was neutral.

Xiao Ke'er felt a pang of disappointment upon seeing his reaction.

Su Ming announced, “I have all these herbs.”

Xiao Ke'er sighed with a hint of loneliness.

“I apologize for bothering you, Mr. Su. Such items are scarce, even historically.”

“It’s getting late. I should head back now. Goodbye, Mr. Su.”

Xiao Ke'er then said to Xiao Chen, “Let’s go home.”

“No...”

Xiao Chen was taken aback.

“It’s late already and you still don't want to head home? If you don't go now, you’ll face our parents' discipline. I won't cover for you then!”

Xiao Ke'er admonished.

“Sis...”

Xiao Chen hesitated.

“I usually let you off easy, but with grandpa so ill, why are you still causing trouble? Go home now!”

Xiao Ke'er reached out to grab Xiao Chen.

“Sis!”

Xiao Chen couldn’t contain himself any longer and exclaimed, “Did you really hear what Mr. Su said?”

“Of course, I heard him. But what does that have to do with you going home? Come on...”

Xiao Ke'er was mid-sentence when she suddenly froze.

She stood immobilized.

Then slowly, she turned her head.

“Mr. Su, could you repeat that?”

Xiao Ke'er asked with a look of disbelief.

Then she hurried over to Su Ming.

She was overjoyed, her face radiant. “Mr. Su, is that really true?”

Xiao Chen was at a loss for words.

Regarding relationships, his sister was quite inexperienced.

Yet, this potential brother-in-law was quite impressive.

He was tall and notably handsome.

His distinguished demeanor suggested he was far from ordinary.

Their parents would undoubtedly approve of him.

Xiao Ke'er did not anticipate her brother’s silent endorsement of her relationship.
