Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1231 - 1230: Yiyi, Can You Bear It?

"I’ve already given her many chances. If you don’t want a divorce, then fine, I’ve made it clear: don’t get involved with Xiao Group. Your two children have no right to enter Xiao Group either."

"I’ve given you lots of options; you could have chosen for yourselves. Why make it seem as if I’ve forced you? I haven’t forced you to do anything."

After speaking, the old man of the Xiao Family looked at the old butler: "Have someone prepare the meal."

After watching the old butler leave, the old man really didn’t want to see his son anymore, so he gestured, resting on Xiao Keyi’s arm: "Yiyi, let’s go to the company together tomorrow to check this month’s work report. As for other things, don’t take them to heart; they’re just trivial matters anyway."

The old man sighed in his heart. It wasn’t easy for his granddaughter to grow up to this point, and his son was really absurd, hurting her time and time again. Thankfully, she has always forgiven him.

Xiao Keyi looked at her father complicatedly, while at this moment Xiao Zhen also raised his head to see the sad expression in his daughter’s eyes.

But now Xiao Zhen felt very complicated inside, so he couldn’t comfort his daughter in time and watched her back.

Was he really wrong? But they are his children too. What should he do?

At this moment, Xiao Keyu, who had been observing the happenings at home, saw Xiao Keyi and the old man leave, and quietly slipped to his father’s side.

"Dad, is it because of Mom? Don’t be sad; I’ll definitely try to persuade Grandpa and Sister. But Grandpa and Sister don’t really like to be close to me, especially Sister, who seems to dislike me very much. Am I bothering her? If so, I’ll try to keep my distance from Sister and not make her angry."

Now Xiao Zhen was very annoyed and didn’t have the mind to listen to his son, so he shook his head absently and frowned at him, especially since the class teacher recently called him to say his son’s grades had dropped drastically.

These calls used to be taken by Ye Jingli, but for some reason, she hasn’t been answering them recently, so the class teacher had to call him.

And Xiao Zhen had no idea that although Ye Jingli seemed kind, she actually harbored resentment toward her son this time.

"I heard from your class teacher that you scored only fifteen in math this time. What’s going on? They also said you’re fighting at school every day, yet you don’t act that way at home. What are you hiding from me?"

Thinking about his son’s grades made Xiao Zhen angry. At least at his age, he wasn’t such a disgrace. His son was embarrassing him now, and with a parents’ meeting coming up, how could he show his face? He used to be the chairman of Xiao Group, after all.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyu felt a twinge of panic. Has Dad already found out about everything? The class teacher really has a big mouth, telling Dad everything.

"Dad, it’s not like that at all. I wasn’t feeling well that day, so I didn’t do well in the exam. Please believe me, I’ll do better next time, and I won’t embarrass you. Please give me another chance."

Xiao Keyu spoke pitifully, with tears streaming down his face. Xiao Zhen, already annoyed, felt further troubled upon seeing the tears. Not a single one of them gave him peace of mind; even his supposedly well-behaved son was causing problems. His temper flared instantly.

"You can’t even study well and keep causing me trouble. You keep asking for chances; where am I supposed to get so many chances? Why don’t you ask God for chances instead? You keep posing challenges for me. If this continues, don’t ask me to attend another parents’ meeting. This time, I’m not going, find someone else."

After finishing, Xiao Zhen glanced at his son, who was still clinging to his leg, sneered coldly, pulled his leg away, and kicked him, causing the son to fall to the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Zhen was particularly frustrated and had no energy to care for his son as he walked away in anger.

Just then, a call from Ye Jingli came in. She hadn’t seen Xiao Zhen for two days and felt even more uneasy, suspecting he was out with some young girl again, so she was determined to keep a tight rein on him. But asking the servants yielded no information.

"Maybe the master is busy with something; please don’t worry. I’ll call to inquire. If he’s busy, I’ll explain it clearly to you."

Hearing this from the maid, who was already annoyed, Ye Jingli slapped her in the face.

"You said you’d ask; how many times have you told me this with no news? What’s the use of you? I might as well call myself. Get out of my way, or I’ll really be rude."

The maid, over fifty and always careful and cautious, wasn’t expecting to be scolded like this.

She was also wobbled by the slap, tears welling up.

In other households, even those of respect, she had never suffered such grievance. Even cultured and educated individuals always showed her respect. But now she’s met such an employer, no respect, just tantrums, nitpicking this and that.

The maid felt she always did her job well, but she was fed up with the constant disdain.

"If you think I’m not doing well, then call yourself. Starting today, I won’t serve you anymore. I can’t earn this money; handle your affairs however you like."

After speaking, she threw down the cloth in her hand and walked away unsteadily, while Ye Jingli watched her back and smashed a vase on the ground.

"Even a maid dares to show me attitude. If I leave the Xiao Family, do you think I’m just a paper tiger? If I went back to the Xiao Family, I wouldn’t get rid of you all."

"Now everyone looks down on me, not treating me like a lady, just sweet-talking me."

The maid shook her head. With someone like Ye Jingli, it’s no wonder the master didn’t want to return. If he did, it was always a fight, and after, she would apologize. But it wasn’t always about coaxing—if coaxing worked, that’d be great.

Unfortunately, the lady didn’t realize anything, and her temper was too much. Forget it, nothing is clear with this lady.
