Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1156 - 1155: You’re So Immature

He had treated those people to meals many times, and now he finally managed to hang out with them. But now, he’s being ridiculed by them, all because of his mother.

So thinking about this, Xiao Keyu called his father, and when Xiao Zhen saw it was his son’s call, even though he really didn’t want to answer, he thought about how the child was innocent and picked up the phone anyway.

As soon as Xiao Zhen answered, before he could speak, he heard Xiao Keyu’s sobbing on the other end. Xiao Zhen was taken aback and, not knowing how to comfort him, just listened until Xiao Keyu finished crying.

"Dad, I know Mom was wrong."

Before Xiao Keyu could finish speaking, Xiao Zhen interrupted him immediately. Was that woman now directly asking their son to plead on her behalf?

"Don’t plead for your mother anymore. You know full well what she’s done. Destroying our family was bad enough, but now she even deludes herself into meddling with company affairs. Anyway, I won’t forgive her this time. If you really want to plead for her, then you should leave with her. I’ll just pretend I never had you as a son."

Upon hearing Xiao Zhen’s firm words, Xiao Keyu didn’t feel sad at all. In fact, he was a bit happy. He nodded decisively and said emphatically, "Dad, I came to tell you this: Mom has gone too far. So even if you divorce Mom this time, I won’t blame you. Besides, I’ll stick with you and study well. I absolutely won’t cause you any trouble, okay, Dad?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen hesitated for a moment. Usually, Xiao Keyu was very close to his mom, so what happened today? No matter how much Xiao Zhen thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out, so he remained silent.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the call, Xiao Keyu was very anxious. Could it be that Dad didn’t want him anymore? What would he do if Dad didn’t want him and he had to leave the Xiao Family?

"Dad, can you come pick me up tonight? Just you, and make sure to stop at the south gate of our school. That’s the main entrance, and I’ll come out from there. You need to wait outside for me, okay? Please, this is the first time you’d be picking me up. You’ve never picked me up before."

Xiao Zhen was particularly annoyed right now, so he really didn’t want to pick up his son.

And besides, he’s in middle school already, so there’s no need for me to pick him up. After thinking about it, he just refused directly.

"Your sister returned home by herself when she was in middle school, so why must I pick you up? Don’t you understand that I’m very busy with work? Besides, there’s a ton of things at home waiting for me. I’ve already missed one video conference today. That video conference involved online contracts that haven’t been signed yet. Do you know how much I’ve lost today?"

"If you really need a pickup, I’ll have the family driver get you!"

Hearing this, although extremely disappointed, Xiao Keyu had no choice. Other people’s dads, no matter how busy, would always come to pick them up.

"No need!"

After saying this, Xiao Keyu hung up the phone. Even though he wanted to yell at his dad now, things weren’t the same as before. In the past, the family was harmonious, and when he threw a little tantrum at his dad, Dad found it adorable.

But now, Mom has already offended Dad, and Dad’s attitude has clearly changed, so he simply couldn’t afford to offend him.

The difference between Xiao Keyu and his mom is that Xiao Keyu knows how to read the room and understands when he’s done something wrong, he’ll be sensible for a while. But Ye Jingli seems to grow more defiant with each setback.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhen felt no trace of guilt, and when the old Master Xiao heard that Xiao Zhen wanted to keep the child, he sighed, but after all, the child was Xiao Family blood.

"Actually, if A-Zhen didn’t want to keep the child, I really wouldn’t want him. After all, this kid, how should I put it? He never studies hard, and always has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, all taught badly by that Ye Jingli."

Upon hearing the old Master Xiao’s words, the butler persuaded, "Alright, old master, you shouldn’t be so harsh. Anyway, the kid is only thirteen now. If he’s guided well in the future, he can definitely change. He’s young and just made some mistakes, that’s all. Now that Ye Jingli is out of the house, the child doesn’t have anyone backing him up anymore, so he’ll probably hold back a bit." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Old Master Xiao really hasn’t changed a bit since he was young, his standards for people are incredibly high. Even with his own son, he would cut all ties. Back then, Xiao Zhen was considered outstanding, but he couldn’t meet Old Master Xiao’s standards, and only now did Xiao Keyi receive Old Master Xiao’s special favor.

Meanwhile, after Xiao Keyi went to the Headquarters today, seeing there was nothing much happening there and disinterested in attending those meetings,

she thought of Xu Ke.

Early in the morning, Xu Ke had Chang Jingshu and a few other leaders stand at the entrance, keeping watch there.

The employees who were late wondered who the vice president was waiting for at the door, and didn’t think much of it.

But when they came in and saw the notebook in Chang Jingshu’s hand, with everyone’s name inside and a black circle drawn next to the names of those who were late,

all those who were late became flustered. However, because Chang Jingshu was stern by nature, others didn’t dare say anything and could only silently pray, hoping nothing would come of it.

Even some department heads were late, yet Chang Jingshu showed no leniency and marked them with a black circle. These department heads were different from regular employees, especially the Resources Department head. Upon seeing Chang Jingshu drawing a black circle, she flaunted her red nails, styled waves, and tilted her long false lashes.

"I say, Vice President, what are you doing here first thing in the morning, like a gatekeeper? Besides, I haven’t done anything, so why circle my name? You’re being a bit unfair."

Chang Jingshu glanced at her. The Resources Department head usually didn’t do anything proper, leaving all tasks to the deputy head.

During evaluations, she would always perform them half-heartedly, and the deputy head dared not offend her.

But with Xu Ke supporting her now, Chang Jingshu was fearless in her actions. She looked at the Resources Department head with disdain.

"As the head of the Resources Department, showing up late with your staff violates company rules. As for the penalties, let the president handle it!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Resources Department head acted indifferently and chuckled, covering her mouth and looking at Chang Jingshu as if she were a rigid old woman, showing no respect at all.

"I say, Vice President, you’re just too rigid. In today’s world, how can there be no tardiness?"
