Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1189 - 1188: Who Are You Trying to Show Off To?

Xiao Zhen finished speaking and quietly sat on the chair, watching Chang Jingshu and Xu Ke leave, while Hong Xuan sighed, tossed his employee badge onto the table, and left without regard for Xiao Zhen’s surprised gaze.

If Xu Ke and a vice president left, maybe he could fabricate some lies, saying these two people meant to leave, but with Hong Xuan gone, if the old man in his family found out, it would surely be over.

Secretary Zhou also sighed and walked out, and instantly, the large reception room was now left with only Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen pursued him directly and stopped Hong Xuan: "Mr. Hong, why are you upset? I wasn’t talking about you earlier. Besides, the branch can continue operating without him, can’t it? Aren’t you still here? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely promote you to be the president of the branch."

Hearing Xiao Zhen’s lack of self-awareness, Hong Xuan felt there was no point in talking further with him. He shook his head and sidestepped past Xiao Zhen, continuing on.

Xiao Zhen hadn’t anticipated that Mr. Hong now didn’t even want to say a word to him.

After Xu Ke went out, having an apartment, he went straight back to his apartment and started playing games. He had been too busy recently and hadn’t had time for gaming, but hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. Anyways, he still had some money left.

Xu Ke was certain that the old chairman didn’t know about this; otherwise, it wouldn’t have ended like this. Therefore, Xu Ke wasn’t worried at all.

If the company had capable planning employees, this would have been planned out long ago. However, it doesn’t, so Xu Ke knows his value is still immensely high.

Since Hong Xuan left the company, he called as soon as he was in the taxi, explaining the situation, unaware at the time that the old chairman was in the hospital.

When Old Xiao heard about it, he made a fuss about wanting to be discharged, and the head nurse couldn’t stop him. She could only remind the old man before eventually allowing him to be discharged once he had taken his medication.

"Old man, I advise you to control your temper in every situation, otherwise your illness might become uncontrollable again."

"Alright, stop nagging. I understand this situation in my heart, and I know about my illness too. But that rebellious child in our family really drives me crazy every day."

The head nurse couldn’t say much more; after all, he was the chairman of the Xiao Group — not someone a head nurse could provoke. So she just watched and went back to her work.

"Listen to me, Hong Xuan. Come to our house straight away; I’m at home, and I want you to clarify these matters for me."

After finishing the call, the old man spoke to his assistant next to him: "Call my unfilial grandson right away and tell him to come home immediately. I have warned him countless times, yet he refuses to listen. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

At this moment, Xiao Zhen saw the assistant’s call from the old man and immediately knew that Hong Xuan probably called the old man shortly after leaving.

Now that the old man knows about this matter clearly, he’s definitely going to confront him, so Xiao Zhen didn’t intend to answer the call. The assistant called several times, seeing the old man’s face getting worse.

"Since he’s not answering the call, send him a message right away. Explain clearly that if he doesn’t come home today, he won’t be a chairman anymore."

After hearing the old man’s words, the assistant wrote out the text message per the old man’s instructions and included a note from the old man.

Though Xiao Zhen was angry when he saw the message, he knew that the old chairman could easily remove him, so he had no choice but to take a car back home.

When Hong Xuan arrived at the Xiao Family’s old residence, the butler immediately led him inside. Upon seeing Hong Xuan, the butler sighed.

"Old Hong, why can’t you enjoy a peaceful retirement like us and nurture your years gracefully? Why keep fighting at that company? Look how angry you’ve gotten. Not only did you upset yourself, but you’ve also upset the old man quite a bit. He just returned from the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xuan became anxious and followed the butler inside, feeling immensely guilty. He hadn’t expected this matter to upset the old man so much.

"I’m truly sorry, old man. I didn’t know you were in the hospital when I called. Are you okay now?"

Hearing Hong Xuan’s voice, Old Xiao shook his head, gestured for them all to sit down, and had his assistant make tea.

"As for this old man’s health, it’s not too bad, but you must be terribly upset from today’s events, right?"

Seeing the old man’s expression, Hong Xuan didn’t feel comfortable complaining, so he fell silent, sighed after a while.

"I’m genuinely feeling it’s unfair for Xu Ke. It’s obvious he’s doing well, and the company is heading for a great rise, but what is the chairman doing? Xu Ke gets sent away, and perhaps other companies are already vying for him."

Hong Xuan feels particularly distressed, as Xu Ke’s talent far exceeded the typical overseas returnees.

Old Xiao also sighed, and at this moment, Xiao Keyi walked in.

"Uncle Hong, how do you have time to come over? It’s been years since you last came. Grandpa said you were busy with work. Now that you’re here, Grandpa is happy, and you can keep him company and chat. Grandpa has been feeling quite troubled these days."

Xiao Keyi said this, and Old Xiao turned back to glare at his granddaughter. How could she say just anything to outsiders, bringing embarrassment to his elderly self?

"Don’t listen to this little girl’s nonsense. This little girl has no idea what she’s doing, just slander me, the old man."

At this point, Hong Xuan didn’t expose the old man: "You’re probably still hoping that Yiyi slanders you. I see you enjoy it, pretending to look reluctant."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, while Xiao Zhen rushed in, out of breath. Seeing Hong Xuan also there, he suddenly panicked, his mouth dry, and he opened it to say: "Uncle Hong is here too, huh."

But Hong Xuan wasn’t interested in paying attention to him, so he looked at the old man and they both drank tea together.

Nobody paid attention to him, making Xiao Zhen extremely embarrassed. He found a corner of the sofa to sit. Though even Xiao Keyi didn’t look at him, the butler kept his head down.

"Pour me a cup of coffee."

At this moment, Xiao Zhen was used to ordering people around, so he looked at the old man’s assistant. He directly ordered him, and the assistant was about to go when the old man stopped him.

"Where are you going? You’re not his assistant; you’re mine. Don’t worry about him. If he wants, he can pour it himself. Who’s he to play the bully?"
