Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1186 - 1185: Misunderstanding

When the assistant came in, he saw the grandfather and grandson duo so happy that he didn’t have the heart to interrupt, so he went out. However, upon leaving, he witnessed Xu Ke entering another ward and discreetly followed him.

In the other ward, Jin Yina was sitting by her mother’s bedside, looking at her mother’s pale face, unable to stop her tears from falling.

"Mom, why didn’t you be more careful? I’ve told you countless times before, but you just wouldn’t listen."

Jin Yina kept on talking. Though her words were filled with complaints, they were concerned, and her mother felt particularly guilty upon hearing them. After all, her daughter now had to juggle both studies and work—this might have disrupted many things for her daughter.

"Don’t worry, Mom is fine. It’s just that you have so many things going on; am I delaying you? You better get back to work soon. Mom can manage on her own, and it’s only a minor injury, just a couple of months and it’ll heal."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yina felt even more frustrated, but simply sighed.

"Jin Yina, how is your mother?"

Hearing the clear male voice from behind, Jin Yina turned her head, and her mother also looked towards the source of the voice.

"Ah, it turns out to be you, Mr. CEO. You really startled me, sneaking in without a sound. Weren’t you visiting the old chairman?"

Xu Ke put down the flowers he was holding, and Jin Yina already fetched a chair for Xu Ke to sit on.

"The old chairman’s condition has stabilized. I saw you and your mother came to the hospital, so I came to see you. Is your mother okay?"

Jin Yina was immensely grateful, not expecting the CEO would take time out of his busy schedule to visit her mother, making her feel incredibly touched.

"My mom was accidentally hit when some workers were moving books; a stack fell on her arm, causing a fracture. It’s already been dealt with now."

"She’s always like this, sitting in the office could be enough, but she insists on going to the site to look. Every time it’s like this; I’ve told her so many times, but she wouldn’t listen."

As Jin Yina complained, her mother was assessing Xu Ke. Indeed, he was young and capable, and her daughter never babbled on like this with anyone else before.

"Auntie, please be careful in the future. We’re not professionals in some areas; if you get hurt, everyone will feel bad about it."

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, Jin Yina’s mother nodded: "This time it’s a lesson for me. I will be careful in the future. But it’s really kind of you to come to see me. By the way, are you married?"

Hearing Jin Yina’s mother ask this question, Jin Yina was also stunned, and Xu Ke shook his head after a momentary pause.

Seeing this, Jin Yina’s mother noticed the look in Jin Yina’s eyes, seemingly full of admiration for the CEO. However, Jin Yina’s mother misunderstood; in fact, Jin Yina was feeling admiration and awe.

Nonetheless, since Jin Yina’s mother misunderstood, she carried the misunderstanding further with a gleaming look: "So, Mr. CEO, what do you think of my daughter?"

Encountering this disjointed question, Xu Ke frowned slightly, but thinking of Jin Yina’s abilities, there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

"She is actually quite good, both in terms of personality and extraordinarily outstanding in work capability. I believe she can bring benefits to the company."

"Jin Yina, keep working hard. I have other matters to attend to, I’ll head off now."

When Jin Yina’s mother heard this, she curled up excitedly under the bedcover, sensing that her daughter had found the right person, and moreover, the CEO seemed to have a high opinion of her daughter.

At this moment, Jin Yina only felt incredibly happy knowing her capabilities were acknowledged by her boss. She hadn’t expected him to evaluate her this way, and it seems she must work hard in the future.

Outside, the assistant of Old Mr. Xiao naturally overheard everything and sighed inwardly, "This CEO sure is a flirtatious presence wherever he goes."

"Looks like what Old Master Xiao said is correct, the branch CEO isn’t a suitable match for Miss at all, not even comparable to that country kid."

After Xu Ke left, Jin Yina’s mother immediately grasped her daughter’s hand.

"Nana, did you hear that? The CEO holds such a high opinion of you, you must strive hard and seize your happiness."

Upon hearing her mother’s words, Jin Yina displayed a big smile: "Mom, rest assured, I’ll definitely seize this work opportunity, and with the CEO being so kind to me, I’ll surely repay him well."

Unbeknownst to them, the mother and daughter were mutually misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, when the assistant returned to Old Mr. Xiao’s ward, he wore a gloomy face, which he didn’t even notice when Old Mr. Xiao awoke, sitting in a chair and sighing heavily.

"Hey, what’s the matter with you?"

The assistant still didn’t react, prompting Old Mr. Xiao to stretch his leg, gently kicking the assistant, who suddenly seemed to wake from a dream, standing up in surprise.

"Ah, what’s going on?"

Then, realizing Old Mr. Xiao had awoken, he immediately rubbed his face: "Master, you’ve woken up! Do you need a drink of water? Or need to eat? I’ll go get it right away!"

Upon hearing the assistant say this, Old Mr. Xiao sighed. This assistant had been with him for many years and had never had such a situation occur before today.

"You tell me carefully what happened. Your worried look is making me, as an old man, anxious."

Faced with Old Master Xiao’s questioning, the assistant had no idea how to start speaking. If he were to disclose, wouldn’t Old Master Xiao be so enraged he’d rush directly to the branch? Besides, Old Master Xiao was still ailing.

"Master, it might be best if you don’t ask about this matter. Given your current health, I fear telling you might make you so agitated you could suffer an attack, and concerns are on the horizon for certain individuals."

After hearing the assistant say this, Old Mr. Xiao’s curiosity piqued further.

However, the assistant sighed, his mind clouded with worry. The young lady had been duped by that lad; if she refused to listen, what would he do?

Moreover, given the way the young lady speaks and defends, it’s likely she’s already fond of that lad. What can be done?

The assistant, increasingly troubled, was at a loss over what to do. Meanwhile, having waited a while for an answer, Old Mr. Xiao frowned and asked once more.

"I say, you as an adult, what are you dawdling about? I’m waiting for your response, you’ve worked up my emotions, yet you don’t say a word—making me anxious without any means."

Seeing that Old Mr. Xiao was insistent on knowing everything, the assistant could only sigh, recounting everything he had witnessed in the ward.

"Master, I think the branch CEO is really not suitable for our young lady, and following him would result in losses. Hence, you better try to persuade the young lady."
