Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1505: Chapter 1505: Distress Beyond Measure

If it weren’t for Old Master Xu giving face to the Xiao family’s eldest daughter today, he would have surely blown things up. He’s being kind-hearted now; otherwise, Yu Hao would definitely have been skinned alive.

But is Yu Hao still not satisfied now? He actually shouted it out publicly, really thinking that he has a good relationship with the old man. Old Master Xu doesn’t care about public opinion; if he did, people would take advantage of him.

Xu Ke glanced at the old man beside him, who truly seemed a bit heartless. Didn’t he hear Yu Hao shouting like a pig being slaughtered? Yet, the old man remained calm, even admiring Xiao Keyi’s dance.

"Hey, I say, old man, aren’t you a bit too heartless? The guy’s even calling you grandpa now, why won’t you agree? That guy is much better than me, the unfilial descendant. If you agreed, maybe you’d have a grandson to play chess and chat with you every day."

Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Old Master Xu couldn’t help but roll his eyes. If he truly wanted it, there would be a long queue of people wanting to be his grandchild.

But the truth is, Old Master Xu simply doesn’t want it, so people can’t find any way in, even through the back door.

Unfortunately, this kid became his grandson and didn’t appreciate it, even seeing the identity as a burden. Suddenly, Old Master Xu was frustrated; something others treasure like gold is like dirt to this kid.

"Alright, stop teasing me now. Let’s talk about you. Everyone’s fighting to be my grandchild, but you just don’t want to, really kicking away wealth and not caring about it."

Hearing Old Master Xu’s words, Xu Ke was unimpressed, thinking there wasn’t anything worth clinging to in wealth.

Besides, what’s so special about wealth? If he truly could gain something substantial, he wouldn’t mind pursuing it. But as it stands, the so-called wealth is fleeting; what’s so indispensable about them?

"If you, old man, want wealth, you just have to mention my name when you’re out, and you can find plenty of opportunities. My affairs are never few, and those jealous of me could circle the country ten times."

"And with the status the old man gives me, I’ll probably become someone everyone envies. That would be... Wow, really a huge pressure!"

Xu Ke looked troubled, although he didn’t care how others perceived it.

However, the identity placed on him really was a huge pressure. Could someone help lighten it?

Soon, he felt utterly troubled!

The people around couldn’t help but roll their eyes as they listened. What was Xu Ke thinking? Others would give anything for such a prestigious identity.

Even if they wanted to pull strings, there was no way in. Xu Ke was truly blessed yet unaware; if they had his identities, they’d be living it up. How could people differ so much?

"Alright, alright, I finally see things clearly: this guy isn’t just lucky, all good fortune seems to rain down on him as if he’s been personally endorsed by the heavens. Yet such a person wants nothing, utterly slapping our faces, but we have no complaints."

"Yeah, if I had that status, I’d already be living large. But he feels crushed by it; if he wants to share the pressure, I’m willing to handle all of it."

"Alright, even if he doesn’t want the pressure, Old Master Xu isn’t passing it to us. Just focus on enjoying the spectacle; if you really had that pressure, you’d probably be more troubled than him."

"I also want an opportunity to feel troubled; can someone tell me how? If you do, it would be a great kindness, so I’m truly pleading."

If there really were such a troubling opportunity, no one would share it. They would tuck it away, except Xu Ke, that fool who doesn’t care.

When the music ended, everyone was immersed in the moment, while Xu Ke brewed a cup of water; Xiao Keyi had long been impatient,

Today, she doesn’t care about others; what’s the relation? Besides, Xu Ke showing up so formally today was already quite an effort.

Today, she intends to spend time with Xu Ke; her grandfather and Xu Ke, along with a few strangers, are seated in the highest position, indicating her grandfather has agreed with Xu Ke. It seems Xu Ke has put in a lot of effort. The man she eyed is excellent.

But why is Dad sitting with Xu Ke too? Xiao Keyi’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if Dad still disagreed.

It was said their relationship had changed a lot; Dad already agreed, yet it seems different now, putting Xiao Keyi on edge.

But then she was shocked as Xiao Zhen poured Xu Ke a glass of water, naturally.

"Alright, don’t just focus on the girl; you also need to take care of yourself. You’re now the heir of Xu Group, so you can’t neglect your health. You two must progress together; I won’t interfere anymore."

Xiao Zhen felt joyful yet worried as his son-in-law’s identity suddenly became so grand; he couldn’t handle it and felt like he was dreaming.

If he weren’t allowed to interfere with these young people’s matters, he might as well foster their relationship now. When revealing the truth, Xiao Zhen didn’t have a chance to speak with Xu Ke; now given a chance, he couldn’t help but tease.

This evening, hearing Xiao Zhen’s words, Xu Ke glanced at him: "Why do I feel like you’re really envious of me? If you’re truly that jealous, then call me Dad once, and I can give you the seat."

Xu Ke’s words made Xiao Zhen spit out his tea in laughter. Did the guy really dare say that without feeling ashamed? Plus, how could he call Xu Ke Dad?

Was the kid getting cocky now, daring to speak like this? Yet Xiao Zhen saw people looking over, and quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe.

"I say, kid, don’t you have any shame? How dare you ask me to call you Dad, it’s disrespectful. Also, don’t say such things; if others heard, they’d think you lack manners, truly knowing nothing about respecting elders and cherishing youth. You’re getting too full of yourself; alright, I won’t chastise you today."
