Chapter 1275 - 1274: Plea for Help
At this moment, the butler nodded as he watched Xiao Zhen’s back, thinking that Xiao Zhen might feel some sympathy for Xiao Keyu under Xiao Keyu’s sugar-coated attack. Unexpectedly, this man really hates being cuckolded the most, and there’s no way he’d raise someone else’s child.
Thinking of this, the butler smirked. Just as he turned his head, he saw Xiao Keyu glaring at him viciously. Even as a child, the butler couldn’t help but shiver—this child’s aura was too gloomy.
At this moment, Xiao Keyu looked at the butler and suddenly recalled all the insults he had endured recently.
"Oh, isn’t this the butler, Grandpa? What are you doing here? Are you watching me for a laugh? But sorry, I’m not going out. I am the young master of the Xiao Family."
"No matter what, you have to call me young master."
Listening to Xiao Keyu’s struggling tone, the butler sneered. What is there to struggle about? He’s bound to be out sooner or later.
"Alright, I’ll watch you struggle here. Whenever you’ve had enough, let me know, and I’ll have someone send you away. Don’t think about taking anything from the house—I’ll have a nanny watch over you."
After speaking, the butler understood Xiao Keyu’s thoughts completely. Xiao Keyu wished he could scratch the butler’s face. This butler was truly despicable; he had seen through Xiao Keyu’s little schemes entirely.
At this moment, the butler really arranged three or four maids: "Watch him closely, don’t let him take anything from the house. If he takes something, you’ll have to reimburse it, and he’s no longer the young master of the Xiao Family. Who knows whose child he really is?"
After the butler said this, the three or four maids shivered. None of them wanted to lose their jobs because of Xiao Keyu, so they nodded vigorously.
"Butler, don’t worry, I’ll make sure he doesn’t take anything from the house."
With these maids around, Xiao Keyu was completely restrained in anything he tried to do. And now, the maids didn’t treat Xiao Keyu as the young master at all; they viewed him like a criminal.
"I haven’t left yet. I am the young master of the Xiao Family. If you dare treat me like this, believe me, I’ll tell my dad."
Upon hearing Xiao Keyu’s words, the maids sneered: "I don’t think you’ve realized your situation. You’re no longer the young master of the Xiao Family; you’re just a bastard who doesn’t even know your own origin. I suggest asking your mother who you really belong to."
After the maid finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. They hadn’t expected that they could humiliate Xiao Keyu so freely now. Normally, Xiao Keyu bullied them without any chance for them to fight back, but now they had the opportunity. Realizing this made them very happy.
At this moment, Xiao Keyu clenched his fists. If anyone was to blame, it could only be his mother. Why had she given birth to him and created such a joke?
He thought he was the young master of a prestigious family, but now it turned out he didn’t even know who his father was. If his schoolmates found out, how would he get by?
Thinking about this, his hatred for Ye Jingli grew. Why had she given him everything yet hopelessly taken it all away?
The maids were laughing and joking when they suddenly saw Old Master Xiao standing on the staircase of the top floor. Instantly, everyone fell silent, and Xiao Keyu clutched at his last straw of hope.
"Grandpa, for the sake of all these years at the Xiao Family, could you help me? I really don’t want to leave. If I go, I’ll truly miss you."
Old Master Xiao hadn’t expected Xiao Keyu, who wasn’t that close to him typically, would beg him at this moment. But so what? Anyone who had harmed his granddaughter would not escape.
At this moment, seeing the lack of pity in Old Master Xiao’s eyes, Xiao Keyu felt disappointed. Was he really going to leave this home? Everything was predestined, and he had no choice. So he stepped back and followed the maids to pack his things.
Then the butler approached and saw Old Master Xiao’s gaze fixed on Xiao Keyu’s room, sighing. If that child had a genuinely good heart and behavior, perhaps the old man would really keep him.
Unfortunately, despite his bad intentions, he kept bullying the young lady, which the old master couldn’t tolerate. So that child could never stay in this house; the young lady was the old master’s treasured pearl, even Xiao Zhen couldn’t touch her.
"Alright, the house is quiet now. I can finally bring my good grandson back. Then my good granddaughter won’t be disturbed by anyone. Alright, today we’ll go to the hospital to see my good granddaughter. By the way, call Xu Ke and ask him over. He hasn’t been here for a while. I heard from the doctor last time that Yiyi is quite dependent on Xu Ke. Seeing him will make her very happy."
The old man’s considerate plan left the butler shaking his head in marvel, dialing Xu Ke’s number. The old man truly favored Xu Ke, even more than the rumored fiancé. Thinking of this, the butler couldn’t help but ask, "Old Master, how do you feel about the young lady’s fiancé? Have you stopped believing in those superstitions?"
Hearing the butler’s question, Old Master Xiao did indeed frown. According to the Taoist, the words were undeniably true, but his granddaughter particularly liked this young man.
Besides, he seemed decent enough; what was to be done about this?
Thinking of this, Old Master Xiao truly didn’t know how to decide.
But the butler chuckled. This was typical of the old master. Perhaps the old man appreciated Xu Ke as well, making it difficult to choose.
"If the old man is really unsure what to do, perhaps trying the young lady’s intentions wouldn’t hurt. Plus, isn’t her fiancé still around? Let’s find her fiancé. If the young lady favors him, all the better. If she doesn’t, we can only follow the young person’s wishes."
"It’s no longer the past with arranged marriages. If these kids don’t like it, they’ll make a fuss at home. What can you do?"
Old Master Xiao sighed and nodded. Everything would have to follow Yiyi’s temperament. If he went against her wishes, who knows how Yiyi would hold it against him?
Having finished his work, Xu Ke was about to visit Xiao Keyi, unexpectedly receiving the butler’s call. After the butler explained the purpose, Xu Ke expressed his intention to come over, surprising the butler—they were all aligned.
