Xi Chenxiao’s words left Grandpa Xi speechless with an even darker face. After all, there was nothing wrong with what Xi Chenxiao said. After a moment of silence, Grandpa Xi sighed and repeated helplessly,
“Shangguan Ting’er is about your age, and you are childhood sweethearts. It is also very likely that she’ll be the future heiress of the Shangguan family and she has similar interests and hobbies as you. No matter how you look at it, Shangguan Ting’er is more suitable as your wife, the future mistress of the Xi family.”
“Furthermore, Shangguan Ting’er would rather give up the position of the head of the Shangguan family for you. That is enough to prove that she really loves you. She’s really suitable for you.”
Xi Chenxiao looked coldly with a hint of impatience at his grandfather. What about Shangguan? He only had Su Jin in his heart, and no one else mattered. He replied plainly,
“Oh, I don’t think we’re suitable.”
Grandpa Xi also noticed the impatience in Xi Chenxiao’s face but he had to persuade him because Xi Chenxiao and Shangguan getting together would benefit the Xi family. So, he continued to persuade earnestly,
“Chenxiao, you’re about ten years older than that girl, right? It’s said that every three-year age difference is a generation gap. There is a significant generation gap between the two of you so it’s impossible that you have anything in common, but Shangguan…”
Xi Chenxiao interrupted his grandfather. Xi Chenxiao did not want to think about any generation gap or families from the same class. He was very happy being with Su Jin.
“Shangguan and I have nothing to do with each other. Besides, I’m already married. Grandpa, please just give me your blessings. I don’t want to hear any of the other nonsense.”
Grandpa Xi was so angry that his chest felt heavy. He’s persuading Xi Chenxiao for his own good, though there was some benefits for the Xi family. He pointed angrily at Xi Chenxiao and shouted,
“What’s so good about that girl? She can’t even eat properly. She’s not able to take care of herself. And she’s still a student, and a bad one at that. She’s a nobody who only knows how to eat and nothing else. She’s not good enough for you, and not good enough as the future mistress of the Xi family.”
Xi Chenxiao’s expression turned even colder. He glanced at his watch and didn’t want to waste more time arguing with his grandfather. There was no point. He only wanted to be with Su Jin, so he said firmly,
“It’s good enough when I think she’s good enough. You are entitled to your opinion, but we have run out of time. I need to handle some urgent matters at the office. I must go now.”
Xi Chenxiao then turned and strode out of the study, having no intention to continue with the argument. He was already married to Su Jin, so it didn’t matter what anyone said. Their marriage certificate was right there at home.
Grandpa Xi was very disappointed at his grandson who didn’t give him any face or listen to his advice. Since Xi Chenxiao didn’t want to heed his advice, then he couldn’t blame his grandfather for going to extremes.
At the chairman’s office at the Xi Corporation headquarters, Xi Tian walked in with a serious expression. He was holding a document case with a file inside. After he entered the office, he placed the file on Xi Chenxiao’s desk and said respectfully,
“Chairman, this is what you’ve asked for.”
Xi Chenxiao put down the document he was reading and looked at Xi Tian with a gloomy expression. After what happened last night, he had to find out who had the gall to send assassins after him. He asked coldly,
“What did you find out?”
Xi Tian’s expression was somber. After all, such a big matter had to be thoroughly investigated and nipped at the bug or there would be endless troubles. He pointed at the file on the table and said respectfully,
“Chairman, this file contained our investigation outcome so far, including some surveillance footage of the assassination last night. The assassins were not after you, they were after Madam.”
Xi Chenxiao’s eyes flashed with murderous intent when he heard this. Someone actually dared to target his wife? They really took him for granted. But he was also very confused as to who would do this, so he questioned,
“The girl is just a student and she’s usually at school. How could she be the target of a group of assassins? Who did this? Why did they target the girl?”
