Chapter 345: Breaking a Promise
Xi Chenxiao’s face darkened when he heard his grandmother’s words. He never thought that his grandmother would say something like this. To keep the child but not the child’s mother… How could they do that? He asked coldly,
“Why?”
Back then, he had told everyone that if anyone could give birth to his child, she would become Madam Xi, the first wife of the Xi family. But now, he had to be so vicious as to keep the child but not the child’s mother?
When Xi Chenxiao’s grandmother heard his question, displeasure appeared on her face. Even though it was a phone call, as the matriarch of the Xi family, how could she allow a younger family member to speak to her so arrogantly?
“Who are you and who is this woman? How could she be worthy of you? What right does she have to marry into the Xi family?” Xi Chenxiao’s grandmother asked coldly.!!
If Xi Chenxiao had been told that from the start, he might not have a problem. But now that Xi Chenxiao had gradually fallen in love with Su Jin, how could he let her go so easily?
“Grandma, if we do this, won’t we become people who break promises? Being especially cold-blooded and heartless?”
Grandma Xi did not care about any of it. Everything she was doing now was for the sake of the Xi family, especially Xi Chenxiao. He’s now the spokesperson of the Xi family. How could he bring such a woman into the family? She replied indifferently,
“Chenxiao, you’re such a heartless person. Do you still need love?”
Xi Chenxiao fell silent when he heard this. He looked at Su Jin who was playing with her phone. This cute girl had melted his frozen heart bit by bit, how could he let her go?
Grandma Xi waited for a long time and didn’t hear any response from Xi Chenxiao. She was unhappy. Has her eldest grandson fallen for such a woman? How could that be? The Xi family was so noble… Grandma Xi continued mercilessly,
“Chenxiao, you must remember that feelings are useless in the Xi family. If you have feelings, then you have weaknesses. If you value feelings as much as your dad, you will become a useless bugger like him!”
When Xi Chenxiao heard this, he remembered that when he was young, his grandmother did not approve of his father and mother being together. In order to stay with his mom, his dad had voluntarily given up being the heir of the Xi family. But because Xi Chenxiao was the eldest grandson of the Xi family, his grandmother had raised him and she had made him emotionless. He was brought up to focus everything he had on the Xi family business.
Grandma Xi was a little impatient. The grandson she had raised should not have any unnecessary feelings. She could not let all her years of hard work go to waste, and she would not let her eldest grandson be like his useless dad. She added coldly,
“Chen Xiao, do you understand what I’m saying?”
Xi Chenxiao came back to his senses. Even though he was now the chairman of the Xi Corporation, he wasn’t the one who has the final say in the Xi family, so he could only agree softly. Grandma Xi nodded in satisfaction and said over the phone,
“Shangguan Ting’er will be back the day after tomorrow. You should go and welcome her home. Bring her home more often in future.”
Xi Chenxiao was a little displeased when he heard this. What did Shangguan Ting’er’s return have to do with him? Anyone else who’s willing could go and welcome her but not him. He wanted stay at home and keep his girl company. So, he replied coldly,
“I don’t have time. I’ve been very busy recently.”
Grandma Xi was very unhappy when she heard this. How could he turn down her request? Anyone else would have been overjoyed! She scolded over the phone,
“Shangguan Ting’er grew up with you and has always liked you. The two of you are childhood friends who are meant to be together. How can you be so heartless?”
A trace of disdain flashed in Xi Chenxiao’s eyes. That was not what his grandmother had said earlier. She’s now accusing him of bring heartless. It’s quite funny. Did she expect him to have split personalities? He replied coldly,
“Grandma, you just taught me not to have feelings. Feelings are useless, right?”
Grandma Xi was speechless when she heard this. How dare this damn child use her words against her? Apart from Xi Chenxiao, no one in the Xi family would dare to do this. After a moment of silence, Grandma Xi said,
“Shangguan Ting’er could very well become the future heiress of the Shangguan family. Being with her will be very helpful for you!”
