Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1211 - 1210: Godfather’s Misunderstanding

At this moment, not just Old Mr. Lan, even Yu Hao clenched his fists tightly. The assistant, seeing Yu Hao’s fists, quickly backed away, hoping not to get hit.

He had been following the young master since their time abroad, and the young master had never lost his composure like this. Could it be because of the woman in front of him?

If that’s truly the case, if the madam finds out, the young master would be in serious trouble. So, he cautiously patted the young master’s shoulder, not expecting Yu Hao to turn around, his fierce eyes glaring at him, sending a shiver down the assistant’s spine. But as part of his duty, he had to remind him.

"Young master, don’t forget the things you promised when you returned home, you agreed with the madam to work hard after returning, so think about your commitment, don’t get distracted by this trivial matter..."

But before the assistant could finish, he was abruptly interrupted: "You call this a trivial matter? Then what do you think is a big matter?"

Yu Hao always felt that Xiao Keyi was his, that he alone was worthy of Xiao Keyi. But to his surprise, after so many years abroad, other men appeared around Xiao Keyi, and she seemed so devoted to that man.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of crisis, especially after encountering Xu Ke’s confident gaze, Yu Hao felt a sense of defeat.

The assistant originally meant well, but instead of awakening the young master, he got scolded, feeling his good intentions were misunderstood and standing by the background screen as if turning himself into a green screen, completely befuddled.

Anyway, he had done his duty by reminding him. Whatever happened next was the young master’s problem, and if anything went wrong, it wouldn’t be his concern.

When the madam starts scolding, hopefully, the young master would take the blame alone and not bring him into it.

At this moment, Old Mr. Lan, hearing his granddaughter’s retort, opened his mouth. This obedient granddaughter, although many years had passed since they last met, had always listened well.

Why would she oppose him today?

Thinking about this, he blamed everything on Xu Ke; it was all because of this young man. Otherwise, his granddaughter would never be like this, looking at Xu Ke with a gaze as if he wanted to devour him.

"If you’re tired, you should rest well, why come out? And recently, I’ve heard from your grandfather that you’ve taken over the headquarters, matters of the branch office should be left to the branch. If a man can’t even handle branch office matters and needs you to come over, what capabilities does he have?"

The first half of Old Mr. Lan’s words were purely out of concern for Xiao Keyi, but the latter half naturally showed his disdain for Xu Ke.

This Xu Ke, a fine man with all limbs intact, yet relies on a woman to live, is truly disgraceful.

The people around, upon hearing Old Mr. Lan’s words, looked even more down on Xu Ke. They couldn’t believe Xu Ke would act this way, thinking Old Mr. Lan was right to scold him.

"Exactly, a good man relying on the Xiao family’s heiress to live, is truly disgraceful. If it were me, I wouldn’t take the president of the branch position if it meant losing respect."

"Exactly, completely disgraceful. We shouldn’t stay here to avoid someone feeling humiliated."

"What’s there to fear if he has the courage to do such things? If he really had abilities, would he need a woman beside him? Relying on the Xiao family’s heiress to do business, isn’t it just to network with influential people through her? Now that all these goals have been met, unfortunately, they’ve been exposed by Old Mr. Lan."

Hearing these venomous words, Xiao Keyi looked at Xu Ke, feeling the man, standing alone, like a brewing storm.

Upon hearing these comments, Yu Hao felt even more pleased.

Now that Yiyi had heard these words, she would surely change her mind. She was previously blinded by this man’s charm, but now she must have seen his true colors and won’t have any lingering feelings. Thinking this, he wanted to show off his own charm.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Keyi frowned, looking at her grandfather next to her.

"Grandpa, I think you might be mistaken. Xu Ke is definitely not that kind of person, so please don’t misunderstand him. As for everything else, I’ll explain it to granddad clearly."

Hearing his granddaughter’s words, Old Mr. Lan could only feel his granddaughter was deeply misled, thus he blamed Xu Ke even more, but was embarrassed to do so in front of his granddaughter.

Originally, Xu Ke had a lot of respect for Old Mr. Lan, but he never expected Old Mr. Lan to think of him this way, so it wasn’t his fault.

Looking at Old Mr. Lan, he showed a mocking expression, and Old Mr. Lan, noticing Xu Ke at this moment, felt like it was an illusion.

As if this young man had changed in an instant, like a stranger, causing Old Mr. Lan some disbelief, shaking his head. Just a young man, he’s seen much bigger storms; what’s this compared to that? Thinking this, he looked at Xu Ke with his former gaze.

But Xu Ke just smiled, whereas Yu Hao, feeling his confidence restored, thought he held a place in Xiao Keyi’s heart, and eagerly appeared before her.

"Yiyi, now you must see this man’s true nature. Old Mr. Lan is famous in the circle for his sharp eye, so he’s surely right. Please don’t stay confused, if you do, I’ll be really worried for you."

Xiao Keyi, though not daring to speak against her god-grandfather, at this moment, someone came forward recklessly to face this head-on, Xiao Keyi wouldn’t mind venting, so seeing Yu Hao, she looked at him like a fly, instantly dispelling his eagerness to please; he stood dazed, wondering if he had always been wrong.

But the next words from Xiao Keyi made Yu Hao feel as if he was a joke and wondered if Xiao Keyi truly disliked him this much.

"One cannot truly know a person just from the first impression, so god-grandfather might have judged wrong, but your worry for me, I think, you should be more thankful if something happened to Xu Ke."

Finishing, Xiao Keyi looked at the equally surprised Old Mr. Lan: "Please trust my judgment, and believe in Xu Ke, god-grandfather."
