Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1379 - 1378: Shamelessly Came Over

He was just about to answer those calls, but unexpectedly the phone was hung up directly. That really was a little strange.

Meanwhile Jiang Na patted her chest; thankfully she’d hung up early. If the call had gone through, it would’ve been really awkward. She’d meant to call her bestie, and somehow it ended up dialing Xu Ke. What rotten luck.

What on earth was her bestie doing? Didn’t she say she was with Xu Ke? Maybe the two of them were apart at the moment. After thinking for a while, Jiang Na dialed again, and this time it actually went through.

"Hey, my dear bestie, what have you been doing lately? How come I just can’t get a hold of you? I ran into something the other day and wanted to discuss it with you. It seems to have something to do with that fiancé of yours."

Hearing Jiang Na mention Su Zining, Xiao Keyi had even less desire to hear that name, so she frowned. "Enough, don’t bring him up to me. I don’t want to hear about him for the rest of my life. Such a fake person, fooling everyone, and now he’s made everything a huge mess. Okay, if you’re going to talk about him, then I’m hanging up right now."

Hearing her bestie hate Su Zining this much, Jiang Na couldn’t help shaking her head. Maybe Su Zining wasn’t like what she’d imagined at all, and her bestie had already seen through him, so she decided not to mention what she had witnessed.

"Alright, since you don’t like hearing about him, I won’t say anything. I just wanted to ask how you’ve been lately. Have you been really upset? If you’re feeling down, I’ll take leave and come keep you company. Anyway, our girl group said we’d go traveling together. We haven’t had a proper get-together for a while."

After the two of them finished chatting, Xiao Keyi felt a lot better.

She heard a car engine sound outside and two people talking. The maid walked in.

"The master just brought Su Zining home, and he said he’s going to stay here for a few days. Miss, we should avoid them. If you want to avoid him, I’ll go find out his movements. If not, we’ll do whatever you say."

Knowing the young miss disliked Su Zining, this maid had always been careful to ask for her opinion. And hadn’t Su Zining just stayed here a couple of days ago?

Xiao Keyi frowned at this moment; she hadn’t expected Su Zining to come again.

"Fine, since he’s here, then let him be here. Didn’t think he’d have such a thick skin. You go down and sleep, I’m going to sleep early too."

Since he insisted on clinging to her dad to keep coming over, if Su Zining didn’t smash into this iron wall, he would never give up. So in Xiao Keyi’s view, instead of hiding, she might as well face him head-on.

She went to see her grandpa, and was shocked to see that Old Master Xiao looked like he’d aged a lot. Makes sense—so many things had happened at home lately, he must be mentally exhausted.

Seeing that it was his granddaughter, and that she was actually willing to come see him, Old Master Xiao showed a long-lost smile.

"Didn’t expect my granddaughter to come over. So, have you been studying the company’s business properly these days? If there’s anything you don’t understand, you must ask Grandpa. I’m still more than capable of teaching you."

Taking the teacup from the butler’s hand, Xiao Keyi smiled. "I’ve already gotten the hang of a lot of things in the company, so it’s really not that hard to do. It’s just that my dad brought that person into the house again. And Grandpa, didn’t you say he should stay at the company and study properly? But he’s been hanging around Changnan this whole time. He’s just too annoying. Every time I see him now I just feel sick."

"Does Su Zining really not understand the saying ’distance makes the heart grow fonder’? He insists on living in our house. And now that my dad has dragged him home, it’s bad for my reputation too. I really don’t know what my dad is thinking. Grandpa, can you think of a way for me?"

Xiao Keyi knew that once her dad decided on something, he would never turn back, so her only hope was to try her luck with her grandpa.

Old Master Xiao indeed frowned. He had already warned that young man last time, but who’d have thought that not only did the kid not understand the need for distance, he was now directly living in their home. He really didn’t know what his son was thinking.

Even if he was the fiancé, with so many suspicious points now, could his son really not see that? Dragging the guy into the house like this would only make things more awkward in the future.

What displeased Old Master Xiao most was that this young man didn’t take his work seriously at all, and treated his words like they were just wind past his ears.

The butler shook his head. The young miss was actually being smart this time, not falling out with the master. Otherwise, the master wouldn’t be standing up for her now. It was just that the chairman was going too far this time, completely ignoring the young miss’s reputation. If others found out, they’d probably think that even though the two hadn’t married yet, it was already a done deal.

Besides, with all the gossip and rumors outside right now, none of it was good for the young miss.

"Alright, looks like your father has nothing better to do these days. Come downstairs with me, I want to see what he’s trying to do tonight."

Old Master Xiao spoke, then stood up, took his cane, and, holding onto Xiao Keyi’s arm, the two of them went downstairs together.

Although Su Zining was chatting non-stop with Xiao Zhen, his eyes kept drifting to the staircase, hoping to see Xiao Keyi. And since it was nighttime, she was probably already in her loungewear, right? Thinking of that, his mind went a little heated.

So he was the first to see Xiao Keyi. But with her appearance, the old master appeared as well. Seeing the old man, Su Zining felt a little afraid. The old master was a decisive, tough type. If he saw him here like this, wouldn’t that leave a bad impression? His mind was racing, wondering how to salvage his image.

Hearing the cane tapping, Xiao Zhen looked up. He thought his father was in a good mood, so he went forward to help support him, but was pushed away directly and even got glared at.

"Coming back this late at night is one thing, but you’re still chatting away in the living room. Don’t you know I go to bed early? What are you doing messing around at home like this? If you don’t want to come home, then get back to the company and stay there. Why keep making a fuss at home?"

Seeing his father strip him of all face in front of an outsider, Xiao Zhen was embarrassed, but he was already used to it.

"Here’s what happened: Zining wanted to come over and take a look, so I brought him. He said he hadn’t visited you in a long time and missed you a bit. If we’ve disturbed your rest, then we’ll both leave first."
