Is this still his picky grandson? In his memory, his grandson never ate fatty meat. Xiao Shuo had just put a piece of braised pork in his mouth when he picked up another piece of twice-cooked pork. The twice-cooked pork, usually not served, now brought Xiao Shuo immense satisfaction. This was likely because Butler Zhong had overheard him asking for all fatty meat. Before he could swallow the meat in his mouth, just as he picked up the piece, he saw Old Master Xiao standing at the dining room entrance. GULP. Xiao Shuo swallowed the meat. "Grand, Grandfather!" "Eat, go ahead and eat first," Old Master Xiao said. He knew that his second son had also become tough on this grandson, but it couldn’t be to the extent of not feeding him, could it? However, seeing Xiao Shuo’s current state, it seemed as if he hadn’t eaten in generations! Xiao Shuo felt a bit nervous upon seeing Old Master Xiao, but hearing him suggest eating first, he didn’t hold back. Mainly because he was too greedy, too hungry! He was so hungry that he almost forgot the purpose of his visit. But after eating his fill, his reason instantly returned. "Grandfather." "How have you been feeling at the company these days?" Old Master Xiao asked. Upon hearing the question about the company, Xiao Shuo shuddered. Then, looking at Old Master Xiao, his eyes were full of grievances. Thinking about his time at the company, all his vulnerability surged within him. Seeing him , Old Master Xiao frowned. "You shouldn’t blame your Seventh Uncle. Both you and your father are really hopeless." Xiao Shuo had wanted to complain a bit. He hoped his grandfather would speak well of him to his Seventh Uncle, so that his days at Xiao Corp would be a bit easier. Official source ıs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵 But upon hearing these words, whatever he was about to say was swallowed back down. He knew that no one in the Xiao Family could really control his Seventh Uncle! Even though he was the grandson and should theoretically be doted on more by his grandfather, everyone in the Xiao Family knew that what the old man loved most was actually this late-life son of his! To complain would likely mean he’d be the one reprimanded in the end! Dissatisfied in his heart, he could only nod obediently. "I don’t blame Seventh Uncle. I will work hard." "Hmm, that’s good," Old Master Xiao said, showing no intention of asking further about his situation at the company. And since Old Master Xiao didn’t ask, Xiao Shuo naturally didn’t dare say more. While Xiao Shuo kept silent, Old Master Xiao’s dissatisfaction with him wasn’t limited to just this one matter. Then Old Master Xiao said, "Look at you, and that mess with the Ye family girl. You’re not involved with that Ye Tong anymore, are you?" Speaking of the Ye Family! Xiao Shuo’s thoughts were instantly pulled back to the main issue, and he could barely contain his agitation. He shook his head. "No, I’ve already broken up with Ye Tong." Right now, everyone in the Xiao Family, from top to bottom, disliked Ye Tong the most. How could he dare to associate with her? To think that even his Seventh Uncle, who never meddled in personal affairs, had asked if he was still involved with Ye Tong. He was truly scared! Hearing that he had broken up with Ye Tong, Old Master Xiao didn’t feel any more at ease. He snorted coldly. "You really have inherited all of your father’s flaws—always causing trouble!" Years ago, the Xiao Family had also found a decent marriage partner for Xiao Li. But he had absolutely refused, being infatuated with the daughter of a rival to Xiao Corp! They had thought that if he chose the girl himself, it would be a lasting union. But who would have thought? Not long after Xiao Shuo was born, the woman realized Xiao Li was incompetent and a wastrel, and she immediately demanded a divorce. Thinking of Xiao Li’s divorce, Old Master Xiao seethed with anger. It felt as if all the Xiao Family’s dignity had been lost by the second branch, and now there was Xiao Shuo with Ye Tong adding to it! "Why did you fall for such a wild girl, one found from outside? Yuning, although not biologically related, at least received a complete education within the Ye Family," Old Master Xiao huffed. Ye Tong might be the Ye Family’s biological daughter, but Old Master Xiao had also investigated. That girl had drifted around outside and only completed junior high! Recalling the disgrace from that period, Old Master Xiao felt even more strongly that Xiao Shuo was just like his father. And speaking of Ye Yuning versus Ye Tong, Xiao Shuo’s mind buzzed loudly! Although he later came to his senses and regretted breaking up with Ye Yuning. But given the current situation... "Grandfather, just stop talking about the Ye Family! None of those Ye Family women are any good!" Even in front of Old Master Xiao, Xiao Shuo couldn’t suppress the anger in his tone. The sudden surge of anger that filled the dining room made Old Master Xiao and Butler Zhong exchange glances. Xiao Shuo was indulgent, yes, but he had never dared to lose his temper in front of his elders. What was this now? Had Ye Tong led him astray? Was he daring to bring the unhappiness from his involvement with Ye Tong here to the old residence? Butler Zhong took a step forward. "Third Young Master, please take your time. Tell us what exactly happened." Now, both Old Master Xiao and Butler Zhong could see that Xiao Shuo had a clear reason for his sudden visit tonight. And judging by how he couldn’t even suppress his anger, it was likely something significant. When asked what exactly had happened, Xiao Shuo’s agitation became even more palpable; he could barely contain himself. His former fiancée and his own Seventh Uncle... together! How could he possibly bring himself to say it? For the first time in his life, Xiao Shuo felt so utterly humiliated! He took several deep breaths, but his rage was still uncontainable. "Grandfather, you can’t let the Ye Family get away with this! Especially that witch, Ye Yuning! You must drive her out of Upper City!" Seeing Xiao Shuo in such a state, Old Master Xiao’s expression grew stern. "Explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened?" Xiao Shuo burst out, "She’s retaliating against me! She climbed into Seventh Uncle’s bed!"
