Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1256 - 1255: Xiao Keyi Awakens

Seeing Xu Ke turn his head, Xiao Keyi wanted to raise her hand, but alas, her body was too heavy and she couldn’t raise it.

"There are still things to handle at the branch office right now. I’ll come back in a couple of days to accompany you. You must listen to the nurse carefully and recover well; your body is really too weak. If you don’t recover properly, it might leave lasting issues, understand?"

Upon hearing Xu Ke leaving again, disappointment flashed in Xiao Keyi’s eyes, but after all, there were still many things at the branch office.

After Xu Ke finished speaking, he saw the ointment on Xiao Keyi’s neck and knew she couldn’t speak, so he stood up.

"Old Chairman, there are matters at the branch office, so I must leave first. You should also rest for a while."

Old Master Xiao nodded, very satisfied with Xu Ke’s arrangement: "Don’t worry, I’ll rest in a bit. You should head back to the branch office early. If there is anything, feel free to call me."

After seeing Xu Ke leave, the assistant pulled back his gaze, and Xiao Keyi reluctantly focused her eyes on her wall.

"I say, Old Master, Xu Ke seems much better than Yu Hao. He’s stable, plans his work well, such a person is quite remarkable, what do you think, Old Master?"

Listening to the assistant constantly praising Xu Ke, although the old master wanted to knock the assistant’s head, thinking of Xu Ke’s deeds, he nodded in satisfaction.

"This kid indeed helped a lot this time, and he certainly carries himself with grace, but you don’t have to praise him anymore."

Seeing his granddaughter on the bed, Old Master Xiao felt a sudden pang in his heart. The child had been sickly since young, her health was poor, and being able to recover to this state after the car accident was already good — it seemed heaven was indeed merciful.

Unfortunately, the granddaughter couldn’t speak now, so Old Master Xiao could only slowly speak to her.

The assistant saw the grandfather and granddaughter speaking and didn’t want to disturb them, so quietly backed out and closed the door behind them.

"Yiyi, the driver of the truck that hit you has been caught. Rest assured, he will be brought to justice. Moreover, while fleeing, he hit two more cars, causing three deaths."

Old Master Xiao was especially anguished when he said this.

"At that time, you were completely unconscious, and when the doctors came out saying you needed a blood transfusion, each of us was extremely worried. The blood bank didn’t have any matching blood; when all hope seemed lost, Xu Ke’s blood type happened to match yours, so if it weren’t for him, you might still be in danger."

Hearing her grandfather saying this, Xiao Keyi was surprised; her blood type was extremely rare, yet unexpectedly, Xu Ke had the same type. She was immediately delighted, thinking they truly were destined.

Meanwhile, at Xiao Mansion, Ye Jingli was pacing at the back, unsure of how to enter. People here weren’t going to let her in easily, and her rebellious child wasn’t answering the phone. Thinking of this, Ye Jingli slammed a rock wall.

Now everything had been exposed; if she didn’t act now, and Xiao Zhen pulled that kid for a paternity test, the result would certainly leave her utterly ruined.

Even if she was driven out of Xiao Family, she had to find a way into another family, otherwise, she couldn’t accept such a wealthy life slipping away from her fingers.

At the moment, Keyu looked at the missed calls on his phone, curling his lips disdainfully. How dare this woman still call him; wasn’t she just coveting his current status? He certainly wouldn’t bother contacting that woman.

While the gardener heard a muffled sound from the stone wall and stepped back.

Who could it be? How dare they throw stones at Xiao Mansion, although it did not sound like a stone. Thinking of this, the gardener tilted his head slightly and saw someone standing behind the iron railing.

"Who is it? Who’s over there?"

As the gardener craned his neck and walked over, Ye Jingli immediately pulled down her hat, glared fiercely at the gardener with her mask on, clutching her belly hurried away. The gardener found it peculiar that this person was dressed so strangely.

When the housekeeper came, he saw the gardener not trimming the garden but looking like this, so he lightly cleared his throat.

The gardener hurriedly turned his head: "Oh, housekeeper, don’t misunderstand. There was just a woman here, yes, that woman, who knocked once on the wall, so I looked to see if she needed anything."

The housekeeper followed the gardener’s direction and saw in that direction a pregnant woman still glancing back. The housekeeper instantly recognized who she was; living here for more than a decade couldn’t make him not recognize her.

Seeing the gardener’s curious expression, the housekeeper patted the gardener’s shoulder: "Alright, work well. Maybe she was just passing by, there’s no need to dwell on it. Besides, the old master wants you to tidy up the lawn these days since the eldest Miss is back for recovery, it will lift her spirits, so hurry with your work."

The gardener felt grateful when he heard this and looked at the housekeeper: "Thank you for the reminder, I will work hard."

After the housekeeper left, the gardener quickly picked up his shears and began trimming the plants.

At the same time, looking towards that direction, the housekeeper became pensive. Wasn’t Ye Jingli already expelled from Xiao Mansion a long time ago? Why did she come back? Could it be that something had happened again?

If Ye Jingli was here to see her son, that’s definitely impossible. The housekeeper looked towards the villa; in the villa, a room was lit at this time. How could that boy suddenly think of Ye Jingli, his mother? He was just playing around without any conscience.

Moreover, Ye Jingli always left for long periods without ever thinking of coming back to see her son; she definitely wasn’t here for Xiao Keyu.

This mother and son were truly rare breeds in the human world. Thinking of this, the housekeeper shook his head and put the matter behind him, only to turn and bump into someone.

Xiao Keyu rubbed his forehead and kicked the housekeeper’s calf: "Didn’t you have eyes when walking? Didn’t you see me? Really, if you know you caused any damage, can you afford to compensate this young master?"

After speaking, Xiao Keyu turned his head, saw it was the housekeeper, was startled and stepped back, but immediately remembered he was the young master of the family, so why should he fear a housekeeper.

He straightened his chest, lifted his chin proudly and said: "So it’s you. You’ve been arrogant in this house for so many years, and now you dare bump into me, seems you have some courage. When I get back, I’ll tell my dad to dismiss you directly. You’re old, it’s time for retirement, what are you still doing here?"
