Ye Yan Xi hadn't even thought of how to face the Old Master Xiao, but at this moment, the other side had come in without any warning. This caused Ye Yan Xi to immediately tense up and immediately stand up reflexively.

”Greetings, Old Master Xiao!” She respectfully called out, not daring to have the slightest bit of negligence in her tone.

Old Master Xiao's expression froze for a moment when he saw Ye Yanxi. He stared at her and asked calmly, ”Why are you guys here?”

Xiao Yu also smiled and stood up. He walked to Ye Yan Xi's side and naturally and intimately put his arm around Ye Yan Xi's shoulders, introducing her, ”Grandfather, this is Ye Yan Xi. You can call her Xiao Xi.” After pausing for a moment, Xiao Yu turned to Ye Yan and said, ”Xiao Xi, this is my grandfather. You've never seen him before, why does it look like you know him?”

Xiao Yu's casual words sounded very ordinary, but they caught the ears of Ye Yan Xi and Old Master Xiao in an instant.

Ye Yan was just about to stammer out that she had met the Xiao family's old patriarch when she was in the hospital. Originally, it didn't matter much, but the Xiao family's old patriarch was even more anxious than Ye Yan Xi to talk about it.

”No!” Old Master Xiao immediately waved his hands, his voice loud like a bell. ”No! We don't know each other. ”

As she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally winked at Ye Yanxi. The warning in her eyes was very strong. Ye Yanxi frowned as she didn't understand why the Old Master Xiao cared so much about the fact that they had met each other before.

”I told you, you wouldn't have met him.” Xiao Yu's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't suspect anything.

Ye Yanxi and Old Master Xiao heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

The Xiao family's old patriarch specifically emphasized, ”I stay in the garden every day. I don't go out often. How would I know Miss Ye?” At this moment, the tone of his voice was very gentle. However, Ye Yanxi could feel that his gaze was still filled with hostility and vigilance.

Ye Yanxi smiled coyly and said, ”That's right, even if you want to, you still won't have the chance to get to know him.”

”That's true. Otherwise, I would have thought that the two of you had kept me in the dark and were discussing some unspeakable matter. It seems that I've worried too much.” Xiao Yu's words were full of meaning.

Ye Yan Xi and Old Master Xiao instantly felt the air was hot and stuffy, with sweat pouring down their backs.

”How is this possible!” Old Master Xiao suddenly puffed up his cheeks in a normal manner, as if he was a child who still had a mind of his own. He was like a different person from the old man, who had a strong aura and stern aura in front of her.

”You heartless brat. You didn't even call out 'grandpa' when you entered the door, and you've already started spouting nonsense. I'm not in a good mood right now.”

Xiao Yu had a helpless look on his face as he walked over to help the old man sit down. ”Grandpa, it's my fault. I came to see you after such a long time. Come, come back. Sit down and take a good rest.”

Old Master Xiao dotingly glanced at Xiao Yu, his face still expressionless as he curled his lips. ”Now that you have a woman, you've forgotten about this old man. Tell me, how often do you have to come back to see me in the Xiao Garden?” Old Master Xiao immediately began to mumble to himself endlessly, ”It was good that you stayed here in the past, but you took over the Xiao Group and came back two or three days ago. Afterwards, you went straight to Italy and didn't come back very often.”

As if he had thought of something, Old Master Xiao glanced at Ye Yanxi and continued to grumble in dissatisfaction, ”You actually brought a woman the first time you came back to see me three years later.”

From start to finish, the Xiao family's old patriarch had always been hostile towards Ye Yan Xi. Ye Yan Xi's forehead was covered in sweat, and upon hearing these words, she suddenly asked, ”Is it because the Xiao family's old patriarch was jealous and stole my precious grandson?”

Xiao Yu hurriedly coaxed, ”Grandfather, I'm already thirty, how can you let me be alone?”

”Isn't it good?” Old Master Xiao was dissatisfied. ”Women are heartless and ruthless.”

”Why didn't you dare to say that when Grandmother was here?”

”She's not as good as your grandmother?” Old Master Xiao cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Yu before he looked at Ye Yan Xi in dissatisfaction. ”Look at her appearance, figure, how can she be compared to me? When your grandma was young, she …”

Old Master Xiao suddenly stopped and did not continue. Perhaps he realized that he had gone off topic as he was speaking.

From the Xiao family's old patriarch's tone, Granny Xiao must have been a beautiful woman when he was young.

However, from Old Master Xiao's tone, Ye Yanxue couldn't help but discover another fact. Xiao Yu truly did inherit the Xiao family's Old Master's bloodline. Even his tone and expression were the same. Xiao Yu had once despised her.

”Grandfather, the reason why I brought Xiaoxi here today is because I want you to meet her. Other than you, I haven't brought her to meet anyone else.”

However, Old Master Xiao didn't seem very happy. ”I don't care who you bring her to meet. In any case, my grandfather has lost all status in your heart. He's not even comparable to an outsider.”

Ye Yanxi blushed with shame. This was a pace filled with jealousy.

”Grandfather, I will get married eventually.” Xiao Yu continued.

This sentence undoubtedly stabbed at Old Master Xiao's sore spot. This also meant that Xiao Yu, like his other grandchildren, would leave him after the family was formed, leaving Xiao Yuan with only him.

No matter how much he kept them, he couldn't keep them in the end.
