Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1281 - 1280: If You Have Something to Say, Just Say It

It seems this Xu Ke truly has his granddaughter in mind. At this moment, Old Xiao felt indecisive because he had too many thoughts, so he didn’t eat much.

After finishing their meal, when it was time for Yiyi to have an IV drip, Xu Ke bid farewell to Xiao Keyi.

After leaving the hospital, Xu Ke hailed a taxi and was about to return to his rental room when he was unexpectedly stopped by the butler.

"Are you getting in or not? You’ve hailed the car but now seem hesitant. If you don’t get in, I’ll leave."

The taxi driver looked at them talking, feeling particularly impatient, so he asked the butler a question and squinted slightly. Xu Ke turned his head and told the driver, "Alright, you can go."

"Seriously, you people hail a taxi and then don’t get in. What are you doing? I hope I don’t encounter you again next time."

Seeing the driver so angry, Xu Ke felt quite embarrassed, but since his own car was sent for repairs today.

So today, he had to take a taxi to come here. He glanced at the butler; although this was the second meeting, Xu Ke knew Old Xiao particularly respected the butler. Since the butler called him, it must be Old Xiao’s intention.

It seems it has to do with today’s matter in the hospital room. Maybe it’s not about Xu Ke, can’t afford to think too much, so he followed the butler to a café.

Old Xiao ordered two cups of coffee, but beside Old Xiao, there was a cup of plain water.

"You young people just love coffee and such, so I ordered coffee for you. I hope you don’t mind. If you don’t like it, you can order something else."

Xu Ke nodded because when busy at work, he would choose coffee as well, given that coffee helps to refresh.

After sitting down, the butler followed suit and sat down.

"Old Chairman, is there something on your mind? If there is, feel free to speak directly."

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s inquiry, Old Xiao didn’t quite know how to begin. After all, the person in front of him is the savior of his granddaughter. The thought made him feel even more villainous.

"Actually, this matter, I shouldn’t bring it up to you. Maybe you’re not interested, but I’m very sorry."

Old Xiao sighed: "Our Yiyi is indeed sometimes just a little girl, and her judgment is quite good. I can confirm you’re an outstanding young man; I also quite like you."

Hearing Old Xiao’s words, Xu Ke’s heart jumped. Could this be about Xiao Keyi? No wonder the old man is so cautious.

"But our Yiyi has been sick since childhood, so I got a Taoist to take a look. He calculated how our Yiyi could get rid of illness and misfortune. The Taoist has a good eye and vast experience, so he concluded a young man with an excellent destiny is very compatible with Yiyi. So, they set an arranged engagement for Yiyi."

Upon this, Xiao Keyi feared Xu Ke might find this overly superstitious.

Hence, he explained further: "You shouldn’t find this stuff too mystical, for it indeed has basis. So what I wish to convey is, please don’t have any thoughts about Yiyi. The two of you are impossible."

After Old Xiao finished speaking, he took a deep breath, observing Xu Ke in contemplation, mistakenly thinking Xu Ke was indeed saddened.

"Don’t take it too hard; there are many excellent girls out there, but not our Yiyi. Rest assured, if you wish, I can introduce you to many exceptional young ladies."

Meanwhile, the butler shook his head thinking, what is the old man doing? If you say "no," that’s enough. Why say so much more? Can’t see the young man seems quite unwilling?

At this moment, Xu Ke was indeed speechless. He thought the Xiao Family didn’t welcome him, so he concealed his identity and discarded the tokens. Now if told he is the destined one, the old man might not believe him, and there’s no point in mentioning it.

Thinking of these, Xu Ke raised his head to look at the old man: "Old Chairman, I understand. I appreciate your painstaking efforts for her, so I will try my best to maintain a distance. Don’t worry."

"However, I currently have no thoughts elsewhere, so I don’t need you to introduce me to any ladies."

Upon hearing this, Old Xiao felt even more that Xu Ke was upset: "I’m truly sorry. I don’t want to repay kindness with a grudge. If you have other requests, I’ll certainly fulfill them."

Xu Ke gently shook his head, for getting this job opportunity might already be unrealistic. Making additional requests would sound to others like leveraging gratitude for benefits?

"If the Old Chairman doesn’t have further matters, then I’ll take my leave."

Old Xiao nodded, watching the young man stand up decisively without looking back as he left. He sighed, not quite knowing what he was doing earlier, but this bad guy role, he has to play.

At this moment, Yu Hao finished socializing with the partners, just stepped downstairs and saw Old Xiao at the café. He rubbed his eyes immediately, thinking the old chairman doesn’t like these things like coffee, preferring tea. Why come to the café today?

"Mr. Yu, what are you looking at? Do you find anything about our proposal unsatisfactory?"

Upon hearing the partner’s question, Yu Hao casually nodded: "Your proposal is indeed good; regarding the details, I’ll have my assistant visit your company tomorrow. I have other matters to attend to now, please excuse me."

Upon hearing this, the partner became slightly angry, feeling Yu Hao didn’t value him.

But since the other party represents the Yu Group, the partner could only barely muster a smile.

"Alright, then. I hope we can fully sign the contract tomorrow. I’ll take my leave now. I wish Mr. Yu success in his tasks."

At this moment, after the partner left, Yu Hao’s assistant beside him furrowed his brow.

After all, this assistant worked with Yu Jian before, so he felt Yu Hao’s business interactions were vastly lacking.

"Young Master, we can’t act like this. That company is the most effective in advertising within the animation industry. We are already behind the Xiao Group by one project. Offending this company may lead to difficulties in future collaborations."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hao lightly turned his head to glance at the assistant.
