Chapter 407: Collecting Money
Xi Chenxiao could not help but smile when he saw Su Jin’s elation. His mood improved but he was still a little worried as he reminded Su Jin,
“I’ll get Xi Tian to drive you. Be careful.”
Su Jin’s mind was filled with collecting money. She was fine as long as she could go to school. She nodded with a smile. Of course, she would be careful. Otherwise, how would she collect her winnings? She ran out as she shouted,
“Xi Tian, let’s go!”
Today, Su Jin was going to become a rich woman worth hundreds of millions of yuan. She was not far from her ultimate dream. Naturally, Xi Tian followed her out calmly to start the car.
!!
Xi Chenxiao looked at the childish Su Jin with a hint of a smile on his lips, but it soon disappeared. He reverted to his cold unfriendly expression as he turned around and said to Grandpa Xi,
“Grandpa, let’s go.”
Grandpa Xi nodded. He looked at Xi Chenxiao with a complicated expression and then at Su Jin’s departing figure. He never imagined that a young girl like Su Jin could make his cold-blooded and heartless grandson become so human.
He did not know if it was a good thing. After all, once a person had feelings, he would have weaknesses and these weaknesses could be exploited by people with bad intentions. Once there was a problem, it would likely be something big.
Grandma Xi watched Su Jin leave and then looked at the two people who was walking into the study. She sighed in her heart, wondering if this girl could resolve the tension between Xi Chenxiao and his grandfather and reunite the Xi family.
However, when she thought about Xi Chenxiao’s parents and how they were still unwilling to come to the old residence, Grandma Xi’s heart ached. Now that she was older, she was not as particular as the old man. All she wanted was for the family to be safe and harmonious.
Inside the study, Grandpa Xi’s expression was stern as he looked coldly at Xi Chenxiao, as if this person was not his grandson but his enemy. He snorted coldly and questioned Xi Chenxiao,
“Are you wrong?”
Xi Chenxiao remained expressionless when he heard this, as if Grandpa Xi was talking about someone else. He looked at the old man indifferently and then said,
“What did I do wrong?”
Grandpa Xi was even angrier when he heard this and saw Xi Chenxiao’s cold face. How dare this brat talk back to him repeatedly for the sake of a girl? He replied disapprovingly,
“What did you do wrong? How many times have I told you that your future wife will be Shangguan Ting’er, not some wild girl? How dare you marry a wild girl without telling your family?”
Xi Chenxiao was very unhappy when he heard this. What wild girl? Su Jin was his woman. Besides, he didn’t want to be with Shangguan Ting’er at all. He looked coldly at his grandfather and said,
“The country allows free love and freedom in marriage.”
Grandpa Xi wanted to teach this brat a lesson, but he was stumped by Xi Chenxiao’s reply. He did not know what to say at all. So, he pointed angrily at his grandson without saying a word.
Xi Chenxiao did not care about this grandfather’s behavior. He hadn’t done anything wrong, and there was no need for him to admit his mistakes, especially when it came to matters like marriage. Xi Chenxiao did not think that he was wrong, so he continued calmly,
“I have spoken the truth. Do you have a problem with it?”
Grandpa Xi’s face turned even gloomier. His grandson was becoming more disobedient by the day. He now dared to talk back and even provoke his grandfather. He yelled at Xi Chenxiao with a livid expression,
“Of course, I have a problem with it. Marriage has always been about being of equal status. If you two aren’t of equal status, sooner or later, you’d be divorced. After all, you two didn’t come from the same cla.s.s, and you won’t have much in common.”
Xi Chenxiao did not care about this at all. He didn’t think that the two of them came from different cla.s.ses. Furthermore, Su Jin was multi-talented and quite amazing. The two of them had a lot in common but they just didn’t communicate often enough. He replied coldly,
“If you have any objections, you can take it up with the country lawmakers. As for the rest, you don’t have to worry about it.”
