Chapter 1512: Chapter 1512: Starting from Scratch
Moreover, when Old Master Xiao learned about it, he was completely taken aback. He never expected Xu Ke to have such a high status. Not only did Xu Ke prove himself to be the so-called predestined person today, but he also brought such an enormous piece of news, even Old Master Xiao was left bewildered by this situation.
"I didn’t know about it either, I just found out, so you can’t blame Grandpa. If he really knew, how could he keep it from you? So you better accept the reality; at least this news can be considered good news."
Upon hearing Old Master Xiao say this, Xiao Keyi pouted. It was indeed good news, but why was she the last to know? And Xu Ke hadn’t told her either, so she looked angrily at the man next to her.
"Alright, little lady, I was the one who forbade him from speaking. Actually, he knew long ago, but hardly anyone was aware of it. Saying it now is just to expedite your engagement, and his mother hasn’t agreed to let him return to the Xu Family yet. So, I, an old man, still need to work hard to make him my grandson."
Old Master Xu spoke with particular helplessness, Xiao Keyi looked at Xu Ke, who nodded lightly, leaving her speechless. What kind of grudge or hatred would make one give up such happiness?
"Anyway, I don’t understand your matters, but I will always support Xu Ke’s decision. No matter what he does, I will stand by his side—now, in the future, always."
Although Xiao Keyi felt a bit regretful, Xu Ke’s decision was the best. Making Xu Ke happy is the main goal, not necessarily recognizing these so-called noble relatives, which would make the person she likes unhappy.
That’s not what Xiao Keyi wants.
When Xu Ke heard Xiao Keyi’s words, he immediately felt a warm sensation in his heart. Fortunately, there was someone who understood him; what more could he wish for? Meanwhile, Wang Cuixia watched them, thinking maybe with the support of the Xu Group, their lives would be smoother. What was she really worried about?
Yet she really couldn’t rest easy; sensing some movement beside her, Wang Cuixia turned around to find Xu Hua approaching, while Uncle Li had disappeared without notice.
Yu Hua knew he made mistakes when he was young, but now he wanted to make these two—mother and son—happy, so Xu Hua tried his best to do what he could.
"Look at how happy they are together. Wouldn’t it be a pity if they are not together because of this? So what are you really worrying about? Didn’t you and I also miss out because of this? Do you really want to disappoint two children?"
Xu Hua thought of all sorts of reasons, while upon hearing this, Wang Cuixia immediately let out a mocking laugh, as if he was disrupting everyone’s happiness.
"Impossible. They’ve already received Old Master Xiao’s blessing, and they’re together now. How could their happiness be shattered? And don’t try to gain sympathy from me, anyway I honestly wish to stay far away from you, you and your schemes."
Wang Cuixia’s words were particularly harsh, and at that moment, Xu Hua felt deeply hurt, but he couldn’t do anything about this woman.
Old Master Xu saw the two of them cooperate and sighed. No matter what, their happiness was the most important, but it’s a pity that the Xu Group currently needed people.
"Alright, you better make the announcement quickly. I’m still waiting to speak about other matters, and in a few days, I need to return to the capital."
Old Master Xu informed Old Master Xiao, who finally felt relieved. Why did this engagement have so many issues? Fortunately, there was Old Master Xu; otherwise, handling those people would have been a real challenge. At least everything was finally settled now.
Once Old Master Xiao finished the announcement, all the newspapers had published it, including Xu Ke’s identity, which they originally wanted to print, but Old Master Xu stopped it directly.
What newspaper would dare to talk about this matter? It’s a disaster waiting to happen, so none dared to mention it, but it was said that Old Master Xiao was truly satisfied with this grandson-in-law.
Those who knew about it didn’t dare speak out, because with Old Master Xu like a looming presence, who would dare to reveal this matter? So everyone kept it inside.
At this time, only Old Master Xu looked at Wang Cuixia: "I know you surely resent us, so you don’t want this matter to be exposed, but no matter what, you will eventually accept it. I have always respected your opinion, but I also hope you can put aside past prejudices. If not for yourself, then think of the two children. They both have abilities; if they can inherit the Xu Group, it could undoubtedly benefit their future. Are you really willing to see them start from scratch?"
Starting from scratch?
Old Master Xiao involuntarily twitched his lips. In Old Master Xu’s eyes, were these small companies just the starting point for ordinary people?
This man was truly born with a silver spoon, unknown to the hardships of the human world; their efforts to get this far were already tough enough, but in Old Master Xu’s eyes, it meant nothing.
Yet, he indeed had the capital, even Old Master Xiao at this moment dared not say Xu’s words were wrong.
Wang Cuixia naturally knew what Old Master Xu said was true, and right then, Xu Hua wished for them—mother and son—to return to the capital. No matter what, they had to start anew; they couldn’t keep dragging this out, they had already spent most of their lives trapped in misunderstandings.
"We’ve missed each other due to misunderstandings in the first half of our lives. Are you really going to continue this way? Don’t you want the children to be happy? Seeing us happy will naturally make them happy, so please give me another chance, this time, I will definitely not let go of your hand."
Xu Hua said, then looked at Xu Ke: "You should know your mom, throughout her life, only loved me. After leaving me, I imagine your mom hasn’t been happy, so I am indeed guilty towards the two of you, but don’t you want your mom to be happy in her latter days? Letting her remain depressed, keeping all the grudges, and hatred in her heart—is this really good?"
Xu Ke knew that if Wang Cuixia continued like this, she’d be the one hurt most, and Juhua wouldn’t be happy either. It was indeed a misunderstanding back then; what Wang Cuixia needed now was a way to let go. Otherwise, when Xu Hua was ill, she wouldn’t have been so upset.
At this moment, Wang Cuixia’s heart was already shaken, yet she wouldn’t bow her head.
