Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1151 - 1150: You Are Not My Daughter-in-law

Thinking of this, his fists clenched, but Li Bai could only force a bitter smile, knowing that the old man’s character was immovable by anyone.

When Xiao Keyi saw her grandfather arrive, she was already excited, and upon hearing him ask her, she quickly pulled up a chair and sat beside him, her face full of happiness, which made Ye Jingli even angrier.

She simply didn’t have the demeanor of a girl at all. If it were her son, he would definitely not behave this way. But if her son could truly gain the favor of the Xiao patriarch, how wonderful that would be.

"Grandpa, that President Li is really too much. He openly provokes the front desk lady at headquarters, and that front desk lady actually disrespects him, even daring to instruct me on what to do in front of so many people. She’s just a mere receptionist but wants to teach me things; it’s really too excessive, isn’t it? It seems like it’s the backing President Li gives her, allowing her to be so arrogant. If this continues, won’t even the cleaning staff dare to point fingers at me?"

Upon hearing this reason, the Xiao patriarch slammed the table in anger. He hadn’t even demanded anything from his granddaughter, yet these people dared to point fingers at her—it’s truly outrageous.

"Exactly, Yiyi, you should do just that. Whoever bullies you, kick them out of the company for me."

After hearing the patriarch’s words, Li Bai’s heart skipped a beat. The old man was clearly warning him, but Ye Jingli couldn’t hear it. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Dad, that’s not right. The ancients said, ’In every group of three, there must be a teacher for me.’ Even if she’s a receptionist, if what she says is reasonable, then Yiyi should learn from it. We shouldn’t spoil Yiyi too much."

After Ye Jingli finished speaking, there was an angry rebuke heard.

"Presumptuous! Are you suggesting my Yiyi would deceive me? And don’t call me Dad; I’ve never acknowledged you as a daughter-in-law. Remember, you’re not Yiyi’s stepmother, so stop imposing your standards on Yiyi."

"See your own position clearly. Don’t think that just because my foolish son took a liking to you, it’s your blessing to become the lady of our house. As long as I, the old man, am alive, no one can take power from my hands."

After the patriarch finished speaking, he looked at Li Bai, who was trying hard to minimize his presence: "If you can’t control this woman, then you should move out. Stop making me angry every day. I’ve told you long ago, since you married this woman, there’s no need for you to be involved in Yiyi’s upbringing. And don’t interfere in any of Yiyi’s matters anymore, or I’ll definitely send that woman away."

Li Bai felt a chill run through him upon hearing this, but he was somewhat unwilling; why did his father have to be this way?

"Dad, I know you love Yiyi, but Jingjing was right just now. If you insist on spoiling Yiyi like this, eventually she’ll be spoiled rotten. Since Jingjing came into our family, she’s always been diligent, even managing the entire household seamlessly. Why do you always have issues with her? If this continues, if our family doesn’t do well, it’s not Jingjing’s fault. Do you really think you have no responsibility?"

"Dad, I know you’re indeed formidable in the business world, and your legend remains. But this is the home, not your domain of business, and if you truly want to call all the shots at home, then Jingjing and I will move out."

Upon hearing Li Bai’s words, the patriarch was quite surprised that his son dared to defy him, and for such a woman no less.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingli’s face changed upon hearing Li Bai’s words; she absolutely couldn’t move out. If they did, how could her son establish himself in Xiao Group? The patriarch would surely despise her son even more. What on earth is that fool beside her thinking?

"Please don’t be angry; perhaps Zhengen was momentarily confused earlier. We promise we won’t interfere with Yiyi’s matters in the future, and we ask you not to blame Zhengen."

Upon hearing this, the patriarch said nothing, but Li Bai looked at Ye Jingli beside him with a shocked expression. He had just opposed his father for the first time in over forty years for this woman, yet she now pleaded with his father.

"Hm, didn’t you say you wanted to move out? And with such strong resolve, why don’t you want to leave now?"

Xiao Keyi said with a glance at Ye Jingli. Seeing that the patriarch wouldn’t show mercy, Ye Jingli awkwardly replied: "I’m indifferent, but your father and Yu’er are innocent, especially your father, who is still chairman of Xiao Group. If he leaves, I’m afraid the group won’t function as expected, and your brother is still in school..."

Xiao Keyi smirked; this woman always thought she was clever, yet every time her self-assumed cleverness exposed her, making it laughable.

Sure enough, as soon as the patriarch heard the woman say that: "Our vast Xiao Group won’t be unable to operate just because of Li Bai. I’m not dead yet."

Li Bai now felt immensely troubled; the patriarch didn’t intend to pay them any mind, yet Ye Jingli continuously challenged Yiyi, growing more fearless with each setback.

He began to suspect the woman was doing it intentionally, but upon observing her demeanor, he couldn’t muster any anger.

"But since you say you’re willing to leave for my son’s sake, in that case, you should leave."

After the patriarch finished speaking, he left with Xiao Keyi holding his hand, leaving Ye Jingli particularly embarrassed. She had intended to plead for sympathy, hoping to soften the patriarch’s heart slightly, but to her surprise, this old man showed no sympathy whatsoever.

Although Li Bai wanted Ye Jingli to stay, his father had already spoken, and the woman was so foolish that there really was no way to salvage the situation.

"Zhengen, what are we going to do now? You must save me; I really don’t want to go there. If I really leave, don’t you care about me? How would I survive as a woman out there? I truly can’t leave this home; if I do, I’m afraid something will happen to it."

"Zhengen, go beg Dad; maybe if you plead, he’ll consider it a bit. Go quickly; why are you just standing there?"

Li Bai was trembling all over; he almost got kicked out of the company because of this woman, and now that he had spoken, she didn’t want to leave.

Under Ye Jingli’s expectant gaze, Li Bai suddenly raised a palm and slapped Ye Jingli across the face.

"If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute. Why do you repeatedly defy Dad?"
