Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1152 - 1151: Old Master Xiao’s Curiosity

"If it weren’t for you, Dad might not have such a big issue with me. But because of you, now Dad has a huge problem with me. He might replace me anytime."

"You’ve orchestrated this ending, and you’re satisfied, right? You never listen to me, always thinking you know best?"

At this moment, Ye Jingli, holding her already swollen face, shouted angrily: "Li Bai, you’ve never hit me, but today you hit me because of that little bitch. Do you even care about me anymore? I see you must have someone else outside, which is why you’re so harsh on us, no longer thinking of us, mother and son. You’re just watching your dad talk about me without saying a word, are you tongue-tied?"

Just as Ye Jingli finished speaking, she was slapped again on the other cheek. At this point, she dared not be arrogant anymore. After marrying into the family for so many years and having Li Bai’s protection, she’d forgotten she was once a restaurant dishwasher. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"I married you back then because you were obedient and could take good care of Yiyi. But you called Yiyi a little bitch. Since that’s the case, get out. I don’t want to see you anymore."

Although Li Bai feared Yiyi seizing his shares, he still loved her dearly, so hearing Ye Jingli speak like that made him angry. Over the years, this woman had indeed become more arrogant. Today, she almost ruined his future.

Watching Ye Jingli sit on the ground crying with her face covered, Li Bai ignored her this time. She no longer interested him. He wanted someone obedient, not so arrogant and ambitious.

At this moment, Ye Jingli was filled with regret. Since marrying in, she knew Li Bai liked obedient girls, but after being taken care of by him time and again, she became more arrogant, forgetting his initial advice, and today, it all came back to haunt her.

Yet her heart was filled with unwillingness. She was Li Bai’s wife, yet this family treated her as if she were invisible. Even though she tried hard to please Old Master Xiao, the old man never looked her straight in the eye. Even her son Yu’er was never regarded as a grandson by him.

"Why do you trample on my dignity time and time again? Since you don’t see me as part of this family, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

After Ye Jingli finished speaking, her eyes brimmed with endless hatred.

At this moment, Xiao Keyi’s previously bad mood disappeared completely: "Grandpa, why did you come over so suddenly today? And weren’t you unwell these past few days? Are you feeling better? Dad didn’t upset you just now, did he?"

Old Master Xiao, hearing his granddaughter’s concern, patted her head.

If he were gone, what would happen to his granddaughter? So, Old Master Xiao resolved in his heart to ensure his granddaughter had someone to take care of her before he died; otherwise, he couldn’t rest easy. He couldn’t rely on his useless son.

"I’ve been much better these past few days. But I heard about what happened at the company today. Although it’s not right to blame you, Grandpa still wants to talk about it."

Xiao Keyi knew Grandpa had come because of this, but he gave her plenty of face.

"Regarding this matter, back then at the headquarters I saw—"

Xiao Keyi recalled the name, shook her head, but couldn’t bring herself to say it, as it reminded her of her fiancé.

"Back then, it seemed he had conflicts with the front desk security guards. I just helped him out on a whim, but when I saw his proposal and resume, I was shocked. Such a talent, yet he had no academic background. Just to be sure, I called him into my office for an assessment."

Upon hearing Xiao Keyi’s mention of the assessment, Old Master Xiao nodded. Although his granddaughter was young, she did things flawlessly.

"The assessment was actually those few proposals I’d discussed with you a few days ago. I had done half of them but hadn’t completed them. After giving him those problems, that guy submitted the answers to me in about half an hour, even better than my half-completion. He also finished the remaining half."

Hearing this, Old Master Xiao was astonished. He acknowledged his granddaughter’s business talent, but someone surpassed her, which piqued his curiosity: "Someone surpassing you? I’m curious to see who this person is that has earned my granddaughter’s absolute admiration!"

His granddaughter was quite proud; she even disdained Li Bai’s plans.

This person’s proposal, praised by his granddaughter, made it clear they were outstanding.

"Grandpa, don’t rush to interrupt me, okay? Also, some parts I did before truly had flaws. He helped me fix those. Not only that, he even optimized it beyond my proposal. This proposal could surpass the company’s two-year development pace."

Hearing this, Old Master Xiao was even more surprised: "Such a talent, managing to optimize our company’s two-year plan in just half an hour, how is that possible?"

Listening to Grandpa’s words, Xiao Keyi lifted her chin, slowly took the proposal out of her bag. She knew Grandpa would be surprised when he heard about it, and seeing the old man’s shocked expression now was satisfying.

"I’ve already sent his proposal to you. It seems you didn’t seriously check your phone, Grandpa. You’re paying less attention to me these days."

Upon hearing Xiao Keyi’s reproach, Old Master Xiao couldn’t even joke with her: "Oh, my good granddaughter, Grandpa didn’t have his phone today. Quickly, let Grandpa see that proposal. If possible, I’d like to find a time to meet that young man."

Only then did Xiao Keyi hand the proposal to her grandfather. Old Master Xiao flipped through the proposal. It was only three A4 pages, but every issue had the most perfect solutions. Indeed, his granddaughter was right; this proposal surpassed the company’s expected two-year development at least.

"So? Do you believe it now, Grandpa? But that guy’s first day as president is unknown. I’ll go and see tomorrow. I’ll report back to you afterward."

Old Master Xiao nodded. He initially wanted to see for himself, but recent times didn’t allow it.

"You little girl, since he’s so capable, stop referring to him dismissively as ’that guy.’"
