Chapter 1206 - 1205: Discovery
At this moment, Old Master Xiao was particularly anxious. This is the company, nothing should go wrong, so why hasn’t she arrived yet?
The assistant quickly went to check and, being a man, he could only find a female secretary to take a few people to check the restroom, and there was no one there.
These people rushed into the office and reported to Old Master Xiao, who immediately panicked.
"Call her now to see if she answers her phone. If something’s wrong... never mind, I’ll call myself."
At this moment, Xiao Keyi had just arrived downstairs at Xu Ke’s company.
She called Xu Ke and asked him to come down immediately. Xu Ke finished work early today, so he had already changed clothes and came down when he got the call.
So at this time when Old Master Xiao called, the line was actually busy.
Old Master Xiao thought someone hung up on him, becoming even more anxious, and dialed several more times until he finally got through. Seeing so many calls from her grandfather, Xiao Keyi felt a bit guilty, but thinking about how the old man would be worried, she had no choice but to answer the call.
"Yiyi, where are you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Keyi could only feel her grandfather’s voice trembling, instantly regretting her actions. Had she known this would happen, she would have honestly told her grandfather where she was going. Now it’s caused him so much worry, it was really not right.
Still silent on her end, Old Master Xiao grew more worried and shouted again: "Say something!"
"Are you a kidnapper? If you’ve taken my granddaughter, please don’t hurt her. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyi burst into tears, not expecting her grandfather’s love to be so deep.
"Grandpa, I’m fine."
Hearing his granddaughter’s words, Old Master Xiao’s heart finally settled.
"If you’re fine, why are you sounding teary? If anything happened, Grandpa would handle it for you. Why are you crying? Was Grandpa too strict today, making you read so many documents? Yiyi, you need to understand, Grandpa is doing this for your own good."
Xiao Keyi nodded fervently. Seeing Xu Ke had already come down and was walking towards her, she seriously wiped her tears away.
"Grandpa, actually, I told you earlier that I was going to a party today. That’s why I sneaked out; otherwise, I would be late. Now, I’m heading to the party. If there’s any trouble, you can scold me when I get back."
Hearing his granddaughter say this, Old Master Xiao sighed. At least she’s safe, but why is she so inconsiderate? Why insist on attending a party? Oh well, she’s young, why should he stop her, it’s better not to speak of it.
Old Master Xiao looked at the documents Xiao Keyi had left on the desk. Indeed, the documents were a bit difficult; it was understandable she couldn’t comprehend them.
"Alright, just leave these documents on the company’s desk. Let her look at them again tomorrow. I’ll head home now."
After finishing the call with her grandfather, Xiao Keyi asked Xu Ke to drive. She sat beautifully in the back seat, and when they arrived at the party, they found many people had already gathered, including Ren Liang, who was waving at them.
Xu Ke led Xiao Keyi over to where Ren Liang was because Xiao Keyi had changed her style, so Ren Liang and Pan Xuehai didn’t recognize her at first, thinking Xu Ke had brought a new girlfriend.
Jin Yina was truly amazed, not expecting to see someone so beautiful. Upon closer look, wasn’t she the eldest daughter of the Xiao Group? Especially seeing her standing with Xu Ke, they looked like a perfect match.
Ren Liang also recognized her, coughing: "You two finally arrived. There are already many people inside. Let’s hurry in, they are waiting. Moreover, I heard someone from abroad is here today. Many people are trying to get that person to drink. Seems today our Xiao Group may not make a splash, that international guest, reportedly from the Yu Group."
After Ren Liang finished speaking, Xu Ke naturally didn’t know about it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Keyi snorted softly, unnoticed by others. Isn’t that Yu Hao, that jerk? What can he accomplish?
"Sister Yiyi, you’re really beautiful today, and this outfit really suits you. Going with the boss, you make a perfect pair, like a golden couple made by heaven."
Jin Yina, with her straightforward nature, voiced her thoughts right away.
Hearing this, Xiao Keyi’s face turned red.
Xu Ke looked at his own attire, then at Xiao Keyi’s. Their clothes were not only the same color, but even some sequins looked particularly alike, no wonder this little girl mistook them.
Xu Ke was about to say something, but Xiao Keyi took his arm: "We went to the same styling store yesterday, so it might look similar, but it’s actually not the same outfit."
After this unconvincing explanation, Xiao Keyi immediately pulled Xu Ke, "Hurry up, don’t dawdle, you’re always so slow in everything you do."
Watching the two walk ahead, those behind could only follow.
Watching them from behind, they really did look like a couple, their outfits were just too similar.
Even if they didn’t want to be misunderstood, it was difficult. Once inside, everyone’s eyes in the hall were on this pair, wearing matching pink clothes with matching sequins, they were a stunning sight.
Reporters holding cameras immediately aimed the lenses at the pair, giving them a close-up shot and sending it to their news offices.
In no time, the news spread. Old Master Xiao had been preparing to sleep but unexpectedly, the assistant walked in with a phone, making Old Master Xiao a bit displeased.
"You know I always sleep on time. Why disturb me now? Should I reprimand you or not? Never mind, I’ve always been good to you, so I won’t bother. You better tell me what’s going on, or how will you manage with this flustered behavior?"
Hearing Old Master Xiao, the assistant slapped his own cheek: "Old Master, better look at this news quickly. Once you see it, you might not have time to scold me."
Old Master Xiao took a glance, unable to see clearly, so he put on his reading glasses and took a closer look.
"This person looks familiar, but I can’t quite see clearly, and my eyesight isn’t great at night. Quickly, tell me who this is?"
The assistant, seeing this, could only explain: "Old Master, look more carefully, isn’t this the young lady who escaped from the office to attend a party? And you should also notice who’s beside her."
