Chapter 41 – No Longer Just Responsibility
Chapter 41 No longer just responsibility
Old Master Xiao felt the power coming from his hands, and carefully looked at Xiao Jiuhan’s face.
This kind of true self-confidence and firmness is completely different from the calmness and toughness that he reluctantly showed in order to comfort him before.
Perhaps, Jiuhan really has his own hills and valleys in his heart.
“Okay, grandpa promises you, but don’t force yourself in everything. The Xiao family’s burden is too heavy, and you can’t bear it all by yourself.”
“I see.”
“Okay, good boy! Let’s go!”
Xiao Guyuan walked up the cobbled corridor again, but after talking with Xiao Jiuhan, the old man felt that his steps seemed a little lighter, and the smile on his face increased.
Regardless of the final result, at least now he sees a hope in this eldest grandson.
Xiao Jiuhan followed his grandfather, quietly glanced at the old man’s face, and hesitated for a while.
“Grandpa, I have one more thing to report to you today.”
“Oh? What’s the matter?”
“I… broke the engagement with Miss Jiang’s family without authorization.”
Old Master Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks: “What did you say? How could you…”
“Grandpa, listen to me.”
There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, Xiao Jiuhan clearly told his grandfather what happened at the dinner party.
After listening to the old man Xiao, he frowned and sighed.
“Hey, I can’t blame you for this matter. It’s the Jiang family’s treachery. Jiuhan, you did the right thing. Grandpa supports you in this matter. We can’t let outsiders look down on our Xiao family!”
Although it’s a pity to lose a marriage, Mrs. Xiao doesn’t like such a snobbish family. On the contrary, Xiao Jiuhan’s decisive and decent handling made him very happy, and he couldn’t help but patted Xiao Jiuhan admiringly shoulders.
“Jiu Han, you have really grown up. You are right. The Xiao family has you, so grandpa can rest assured. But, you are the eldest grandson of our Xiao family. When your father reached your age, he already had You are busy, you have to think about your life, find a granddaughter-in-law early to show grandpa, and give birth to a great-grandson for grandpa to hug.”
Xiao Jiuhan lowered his eyebrows and looked down, making a gesture of respectfully listening to his elders.
It’s a pity that this wish of the old man may never be fulfilled.
Marry a wife and have children?
Heh, wouldn’t she be a monster?
Saying goodbye to grandpa, and coming out of the old house, Xiao Jiuhan stood outside the gate, looking at the word “Xiao House” on the plaque, and stood there for a long time.
She used the body of the original owner, so she should inherit the responsibility of the original owner.
But after this trip, facing the old man’s heartfelt care for her, the Xiao family is no longer just her responsibility, but the sustenance she truly recognizes and wants to protect with heart, and the Godland she once guarded. Same.
…
Arriving at the company, Xiao Chenxi stood outside her office door.
“Brother.”
At the same time, he glanced at the office with a strange expression.
Xiao Jiuhan immediately sensed something was wrong, and asked in a deep voice, “What?”
“There is a woman waiting for you inside.”
“woman?”
“Well, the doorman in the hall said that she came early in the morning before she went to work. This woman claimed that she had something very important to tell you face to face, so I took the initiative and brought her in.”
Xiao Jiuhan glanced through the glass door, and there was indeed a woman sitting on the sofa inside, about thirty years old, no matter in terms of appearance, figure, dress, and demeanor, one could tell that this was a delicate and smart woman.
