Xu Ke looked at the old man and confird several tis, realizing he didn’t recognize him, so he furrowed his brows.
Yet he still walked towards the old man, who also stood up, leaning on his cane and gazing at Xu Ke with a heart full of emotions, thinking how over the years, this kid had grown so much.
Unfortunately, the Xu Family missed out on this boy, not knowing whether he would still want to co ho and recognize his ancestors.
Thinking about it made Xu Long sowhat fearful, worried that now the boy harbored resentnts and wouldn’t want to return ho to acknowledge his roots. If so, the vast wealth of the Xu Family would be lost.
His useless son managed to do the right thing only once in his life.
If not, the old Xu Family would probably have no descendants left.
Seeing the old man particularly excited at this mont, Xu Ke didn’t understand: "Hello, I am Xu Ke, the person responsible for Xiao Group’s branch. If you have any matters, you can co with ."
Although the old man didn’t reveal his identity, his aura was distinctly different from ordinary people, so Xu Ke paid a little more attention.
Hearing Xu Ke ntion his own na, Xu Long beca even more excited. Yes, he was indeed the descendant of the Xu Family.
What a pity that he interfered with his son marrying Wang Cuihua back then, leading to this tragedy. If not, his grandson would not have ended up outside the family. Thinking of this made Xu Long even more agitated.
"Good child, I didn’t expect you’re doing well now, it’s grandfather’s neglect."
Upon hearing the old man say that, not only Xu Ke but others around were shocked, since everyone knew the CEO was an orphan; how could he possibly have family? It seed impossible.
Even Xu Ke couldn’t accept it at this mont.
After becoming Wang Cuihua’s son, she indeed said Xu Jia looked down on them, which was why he wasn’t brought ho. So what was going on now? Since his mother didn’t accept it, he had no reason to return to the Xu Family either.
However, Xu Long clearly saw Xu Ke’s thoughts at this mont, so he sighed slightly, blaming himself for neglecting them back then. No wonder the mother and son harbored resentnts—isn’t that justified?
"Child, listen to , the things back then were indeed our fault, but I hope you give a chance to make ands."
Secretary Zhou arranged for the old man and Xu Ke to enter the eting room, blocking those who wanted to watch the spectacle.
"Alright, President, you just scolded people a few days ago, why do you still want to watch the fun now? Everyone should get busy with work, don’t loiter here. So spectacles can be seen, but others should not."
After all, this is the President’s family matter; if everyone knew, the President might lose face in the company afterward.
Secretary Zhou was particularly thorough, setting people to work before glancing at the closed door, hoping the person inside could clarify the President’s identity, otherwise, the President couldn’t lose the young lady.
Seeing the child who was once in swaddling clothes now strikingly handso, even Xu Long was emotional.
"Over twenty years ago, when I t you, you were just a child. I never thought you’d be capable now; indeed, as they say, in thirty years the east side of the river changes to the west side. I ca today because I have sothing to ask of you."
Hearing the old man has sothing to discuss, but the conversation was half-understood, Xu Ke didn’t grasp how suddenly an additional grandfather appeared.
"You should explain your identity clearly to first. If your identity is unclear, how could I possibly help you?"
It seems the old man is quite self-assured, yet concerning errands, Xu Ke still wanted clarification.
The old man nodded slightly, eyes tinged with pain.
After all, it was years ago, and listening to the old man’s lengthy account still evoked a lot.
"Years ago, my son Xu Hua fell for your mother, Wang Cuihua—both were classmates, so closer relationships naturally ford, wishing to marry. However, our family had a marriage agreent with the prominent Hu Family in the capital at the ti. Yet, the Hu Family’s girl suffered injuries from a car accident, and during that period, no one wanted her. We had no choice but to marry the Hu Family girl, so I stepped in, directly disrupting the courtship between your father and mother."
"Back then I didn’t know your mother was pregnant. If I had known, regardless of what Hu Jia demanded, even if I had to beg him, I wouldn’t have let a Xu Family descendant be left out. When I found out you had already been born, and the Hu Family girl had entered the household—there was nothing we could do, truly neglecting your mother and you all these years, and for that I deeply regret."
Xu Ke knew Wang Cuihua never forgot that man, but hadn’t expected such an outco. Imagine Wang Cuihua’s heartache, liking soone who married another and got left outside.
Now why was Xu Long coming over?
Seeing Xu Ke at this mont, expression cold, Xu Long couldn’t be certain if this child would forgive their past actions.
He could only sigh heavily and continue: "But the Hu Family girl, due to the car accident, even suffered from trauma, acting out at ho. Since the two families were old acquaintances, it was sothing to endure. Yet unexpectedly, due to the accident, she lost the right to beco a mother. So, the only descendant to continue the Xu Family line is you."
"In every conceivable mistake, I, the old man, was wrong. Your father truly loves you, but he doesn’t know of your existence yet. If he knew, he might be really happy. However, your father’s health isn’t very good now, and I hope you can return to the Xu Family to take charge."
Seeing this person as his grandfather and separating his mother and father, at this mont Xu Ke found it impossible to forgive.
After the old man finished speaking, he kept staring at Xu Ke, curious about his reaction. Unexpectedly, the young man showed no expression, leaving him feeling anxious—even after prevailing for many years, he couldn’t read the young man’s heart.
"Don’t worry, if you and your mother return to the Xu Family now, I won’t begrudge you for anything, plus the Hu Family miss has been gone many years."
Xu Long had already planned for Xu Ke. The Xu Group was already precarious, held by shareholders’ hands, and if Xu Ke didn’t return soon, issues would arise.
Complete disregard for his pride, Xu Long ca from the capital to Changnan, hoping Xu Ke can return to take charge, prepared for refusal before arriving.
Now that he was old, he couldn’t manage the company affairs, only the young can handle the matters.
But at this mont Xu Ke smirked coldly; since years ago, his mother and he were abandoned, what was the point in returning now?
