Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1500: Chapter 1500: Old Master Xu’s Opinion

"That’s right, back then the mother and son indeed left our Xu Family, but later I realized my mistake and wanted to make amends. Xu Ke is undeniably a child of the Xu Family, so he absolutely cannot be a live-in son-in-law!"

Wang Cuixia herself did not want her son to be a live-in son-in-law, knowing all too well the hardships that role entails.

Now with the Xu Family’s involvement, it was evident that the Xiao Family was particularly afraid, especially Old Mr. Xiao, who started hesitating at this moment. Wang Cuixia seemed to see hope and did not intervene.

"However, over the years I’ve felt guilty toward the mother and son, especially this child, who has endured so much suffering. Since his mother agreed, why don’t we take a different approach? Let these two children decide for themselves. They can have their own small family like young people today, but they must have two sons—one with the surname Xiao, and one with the surname Xu. This way, both lineages will continue!"

True to his reputation, Old Mr. Xu quickly devised a solution that everyone was particularly satisfied with.

Initially, Old Mr. Xiao thought Old Mr. Xu would directly finalize everything.

Unexpectedly, Old Mr. Xu retreated a step and made arrangements for the Xiao Family. These older generations are particularly superstitious about lineage continuation, so they would never allow their family’s lineage to end.

But now, with Old Mr. Xu present, even Old Mr. Xiao thought that if it was really unattainable, it wouldn’t matter if the lineage ended. But this solution by Old Mr. Xu was naturally the best.

At this moment, Old Mr. Xiao regarded Old Mr. Xu as a benefactor and felt that he was reasonable, quickly standing up to bow: "I have no objections to this marriage, and indeed, we have wronged Xu Ke in the past. Here, I apologize to you. It’s very considerate of you to think so thoroughly for our family, thank you very much. We’ve been too narrow-minded, and I will learn more from you."

Old Mr. Xiao’s attitude was particularly sincere, and at this moment, Old Mr. Xu hurriedly helped him up for the sake of bettering the marriage between the two families and to please Xu Ke.

"No need to be so polite, besides, if the children are good, we all benefit, and this matter still depends on the children’s opinions!"

"Since our families are now in-laws, why be so courteous?"

With these words from Old Mr. Xu, Old Mr. Xiao was stunned; he felt like he was stepping on clouds and if Xiao Zhen hadn’t supported him, he might have fallen backward—followed by a sense of joy; this was simply exhilarating.

"Thank you, Old Mr. Xu, for your understanding and reason. My father is overly excited, forgive us, I’ll take him to rest next door for a while."

After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he had people help Old Mr. Xiao to the next room to rest. At this time, Blue Old was looking at Xu Ke with a complex expression; without an apology, he might offend Old Mr. Xu.

At this moment, Blue Old could only walk over to Xu Ke, feeling aggrieved, but the disdain in his eyes was gone, replaced by respect.

What a joke, Xu Ke is now so esteemed, let alone him, even Old Mr. Xiao would cherish this precious grandson-in-law.

Previously thinking the kid didn’t match Xiao Keyi, now it seemed like his granddaughter was reaching too high. After all, many noble families want to marry into the Xu Family in Beijing, they never imagined forming marriage ties with such a household; thus, Blue Old was overjoyed.

"I deeply apologize if I’ve offended you. If there’s anything needing compensation, I can provide it anytime."

Blue Old had seen many ups and downs in life, unlike young people who refuse to apologize for their pride. In the face of absolute power, they must bow, and to Blue Old, apologizing wasn’t humiliating.

Moreover, boasting his capability in front of Xu Ke now seemed foolish; Xu Ke has the vast Xu Group, and Blue Old now felt ashamed: "Previously, joking with you shouldn’t matter, but let’s cancel the wager between us. With your capabilities now far exceeding mine, I lost the bet convinced and willingly."

Seeing Blue Old behave like this, Xu Ke wasn’t surprised at all; after all, he had the backing of the Xu Group, and with Old Mr. Xu there, Blue Old’s apology certainly improved things a lot.

Blue Old being able to evaluate the current situation wasn’t easy, but he could be passed over given he was Old Mr. Xiao’s friend—others, however, wouldn’t have it so easily.

"Let’s put aside the wager between Blue Old and me; however, before that, Blue Old once brought someone over, and I wonder how important that person is to you. If they’re important, I might have to take action against them!"

"I’m not holding you accountable because you’re an elder, but between him and me, I hope Blue Old won’t interfere!"

Despite feeling regretful, Blue Old understood that Yu Hao’s actions were indeed excessive today. In the face of absolute power, having gained forgiveness was enough; anything more would be crossing the line. Hence, Blue Old wisely refrained from pleading.

"Your matters as young people aren’t for me to manage, but thank you this time, and if there’s anything in the future requiring my help, I’m at your service."

Upon hearing Blue Old’s words, Xu Ke was finally relieved; although Blue Old had been rather contemptible before, his help was indeed needed. So Xu Ke targeted him—otherwise, who would care about Blue Old?

Wang Cuixia was indeed very displeased; Blue Old had previously humiliated her son, but considering her son’s business needs involving him, she could only swallow her pride.

Wang Cuixia’s talent in business was once renowned in Beijing, naturally knowing a bit about these matters.

At this moment, seeing Blue Old slightly influential in front of the Xu Group, Yu Hao felt regret. Why exploit Blue Old?

Had he known this, it would’ve been better to utilize this connection to have Blue Old help him rather than target Xu Ke.

Thus, someone was made to always watch the stairs; if Blue Old came out, they must stop him, no matter what, even using threats.

Yu Hao now only had this method; if he could exert pressure, it was his capability. Blue Old and their family were relatives, and most importantly, Yu Hao’s father once saved Blue Old’s life.
