At this mont, Xu Ke had no idea that for him, Xiao Keyi would even speak directly to her honorary grandfather like this. And at this mont, Mr. Lan didn’t expect that his honorary granddaughter would one day stand in opposition to him for a man and walk over to that man with a smile.
"Yiyi..."
Seeing Mr. Lan wanting to speak, Xiao Keyi smiled, confidently linking arms with Xu Ke.
"Grandfather, I know you are worried about , but you have to know that your granddaughter has grown up. She has her own opinions now and is no longer a child. And though I’ve only known him for less than a month, I believe that he will beco extraordinary in the future."
As Xiao Keyi spoke, the light in her eyes could no longer be concealed, and Xu Ke looked at the young woman beside him. Even he didn’t know if he could achieve great success within three months, but the woman beside him was exceptionally convinced.
This ti, Xu Ke’s heart was ward inch by inch by the sunlight.
After hearing his honorary granddaughter’s words, Mr. Lan wanted to say sothing, but upon touching Xu Ke’s gaze, he shook his head instead. Young people would always make so mistakes, and even this honorary granddaughter couldn’t avoid worldly concerns. Thinking this, Mr. Lan sighed. He made mistakes when he was young, so how could this little granddaughter not?
"Yiyi, the salt I’ve eaten is more than the rice you’ve consud, so one day, you will definitely regret this."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyi wanted to retort, but the man beside her countered even faster than she did.
"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let her regret it."
Earlier, it was Xiao Keyi desperately trying to preserve Xu Ke’s dignity, using all her strength to protect him.
But at this mont, Xiao Keyi felt especially comforted; this man could counterattack as well. And this sentence made Xiao Keyi feel particularly empowered.
Will he really not let regret it?
Xiao Keyi firmly believed that she had seen miracles in this man, ti and again.
However, to others, this sentence sounded like a joke, especially to Yu Hao.
"Don’t say foolish things. No background, no strength, no money, what are you using to make such a guarantee? Your sweet talk? There are many people in the world who can speak sweetly, but how many truly deliver? You’re just relying on what Yiyi has given you. Without her, how would you back up this empty promise?"
Upon hearing Yu Hao’s words, Xu Ke looked at him mockingly, thinking this person is really ddleso, and relying on being an overseas returnee, he’s quite clueless.
"For our generation, going back three generations, they all started from scratch."
Xu Ke spoke, looking at Yu Hao with no trace of inferiority in his eyes: "We Chinese revere our ancestors, respect and learn from their spirit of starting from nothing. If our ancestors could do it, why can’t we?"
"I admit I have no resources, but I can still achieve all this, just starting from scratch anew. And what about you? Aren’t you relying on your family’s resources? What is there to be proud of? There are people with more resources than you, but what have they ultimately achieved?"
After hearing Xu Ke’s words, the heirs of the prominent families only felt a burning on their faces. Indeed, their ancestors were just laborers who climbed up step by step; it wasn’t easy.
At this mont, Yu Hao’s face turned dark, not expecting Xu Ke to touch on so much, and it seed like he had slapped Mr. Lan in the face. Mr. Lan’s family only beca prosperous with his generation.
And Mr. Lan looked at Xu Ke in surprise, not expecting such words from the young man.
Mr. Lan’s gaze at Xu Ke suddenly changed. Maybe this young man could really create miracles. But is it really possible?
Looking again at his honorary granddaughter, is he really ddling too much? For the first ti, because of Xu Ke’s attitude, Mr. Lan changed.
"Since you say so, young man, I want to see your results in three years. If I don’t see them, I hope you can stay away from our Yiyi. If you have the courage to make such a statent, three years later, I believe you will also have the courage to accept your words. Can you do that?"
Upon hearing Mr. Lan’s words, Xiao Keyi was a little worried for Xu Ke, but when she looked at him, she didn’t want the man she admired to lose terribly at this mont. Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
And Yu Hao, hearing Mr. Lan’s words, knew that his standing with Mr. Lan had likely been greatly discounted.
Mr. Lan might have grown tired of him; his previous words were completely to retort Xu Ke, but he didn’t expect they would touch Mr. Lan’s sore spot, which was really unwise. He didn’t know how to explain himself at that mont.
Moreover, hearing Mr. Lan’s tone now, it seed like he had forgiven Xu Ke, and there was a tone of appreciation, wanting to see if Xu Ke could pull it off.
Originally Yu Hao didn’t think Xu Ke could achieve it, but after hearing his words and seeing his confident expression, he beca even more uncertain and wanted to stop it.
But then he saw the overconfident Xu Ke nodding, and what Xu Ke said next shocked not only Yu Hao but also Mr. Lan.
"Since Mr. Lan proposed this request, as a junior, I naturally cannot refuse. But I think the ti you ntioned is too long; such a tifra does not prove my sincerity to Yiyi. How about this? Let’s set a period of half a year. If I can’t change the branch within half a year, I will voluntarily leave. But if I can achieve what Mr. Lan said after half a year, I hope Mr. Lan will treat to a al to apologize for looking down on today."
Initially, Xu Ke wanted Mr. Lan to say sorry, but considering the relationship between Mr. Lan and Xiao Keyi, he carefully avoided such a phrase.
And Mr. Lan didn’t expect such bold words from this young man, making him respect this young man even more. Although this young man was indeed a bit poor, he was as full of determination as he was back in the day. He suddenly regretted why he had been so hard on this young man just now.
