Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1430: Old Master Xu’s Grievance

Watching his subordinates leave, the fox still felt a bit worried. Although these subordinates had handled many tasks for him, once an urgent matter arose, he feared they might suffer losses, and if the information they held were leaked, it might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Upon opening WeChat, he saw that Xu Ke had already sent him several messages, and it was clear the client was very worried about his mother.

He slowly typed a line of text, his expression heavy.

"I’m really sorry. Despite our efforts over many days, we haven’t found your mother. We are now in a small town abroad, hoping to find her here. Although this town is known for its peace and tranquility, I think after experiencing so much hardship, your mother must now want to live quietly. We’ll search here, and if we can’t find her, we’ll move on to another place."

Seeing the fox’s message, Xu Ke knew the outcome, but Wang Cuixia being alone outside was too dangerous, and now there’s also Su Zining. If Su Zining really has no qualms about pursuing wealth, Wang Cuixia’s danger is imminent.

Rubbing his brow, knowing the other side had tried hard: "Okay, thank you for your efforts these past days. I hope you can continue looking for me. If you find my mother, please notify me immediately."

After logging off WeChat, unexpectedly that number called in again—this was already the ninth time, and it kept ringing. What urgent matter could this person have? This time, Xu Ke gradually believed it wasn’t just a sales number; it seemed they genuinely wanted to reach him.

Just as he was about to answer, the other party hung up. As he prepared to call back, Old Man Xu’s call came in. Seeing it was Old Man Xu, Xu Ke quickly answered, thinking that although the fox hadn’t found anything, perhaps Old Man Xu, with his abilities, might have some information.

"You brat, I gave you my number hoping you’d call me sometimes, but you don’t worry about this old man at all. And I’m doing things for you, yet you don’t even check in on my health."

Seeing Old Man Xu still joking around, Xu Ke was a bit speechless. This old man really was somewhat frivolous.

But this old man had wide connections and surely had news—yet he was still being haughty.

"Alright, why don’t you tell me if you’ve heard any news? If there’s no news, I suppose there’s no need for this call anyway. We all have a mutual interest. If you can’t find my mother, naturally, I won’t help you, so why should I check in on you? You have plenty of people around you doing that."

Old Man Xu: "..."

Initially, after being thwarted by Wang Cuixia, he thought he’d at least receive some thanks from this brat. But who knew he’d get no thanks at all, and it became a matter of business interest? Is this really business cooperation?

This is clearly playing the personal connections card. This brat has no gratitude at all. I don’t even know what to say, but there’s nothing I can do about Xu Ke on the other side—after all, he’s my grandson, and I have to coax him.

Under the incredulous gaze of his assistant, Old Man Xu found himself once again pushing his limits today.

"Oh, I’m telling you some good news, hoping to be appreciated, but you brat don’t seem to care about what I’ve accomplished and have no good attitude towards me at all. This old man is truly a bit..."

Hearing that there was good news, Xu Ke was shocked. Who would’ve thought Old Man Xu could find someone in such a short time? Truly worthy of being the former head of the Xu Group.

"Alright, old man, quickly tell me, where’s my mother?"

Old Man Xu was frustrated. He initially wanted to exchange a few more pleasantries with the brat but was interrupted, and now this brat’s only concern is finding out about Wang Cuixia.

But he didn’t know if Wang Cuixia had already called. If she had, this brat should already know, but Wang Cuixia hadn’t called.

Thinking that someone like Wang Cuixia, who defended Xu Ke so fiercely, would definitely contact her son first, but Wang Cuixia’s behavior was unexpected. Could it be she was up to more tricks?

Old Man Xu didn’t dare to think, but still tentatively passed on the information.

"I did see your mother today, but she seemed different. Toward me, she was full of curses and hatred. Of course, this old man knows his own mistakes and was admitting them profusely, even gave her your number, but she seems unwilling to see you—even now, she hasn’t called."

As Old Man Xu said this, he also harbored a bit of resentment. After all, Xu Ke never had to bow his head to anyone in his life before.

He’d humbled himself repeatedly to Wang Cuixia, yet not being understood was one thing, but to also face a sour expression was another. So Old Man Xu still carried a bit of childish emotion.

As he spoke, he even unintentionally began venting to Xu Ke.

Xu Ke found it amusing. Old Man Xu had hardly ever faced anyone’s temper before. But considering how much his mother suffered, it was no surprise she had no kind demeanor toward Old Man Xu. Why did the old man insist on seeking out grievance? There wasn’t anything he could do.

He’d already told the old man that once he found his mother, to call him immediately. Yet the old man, making his own decisions, insisted he could win Wang Cuixia over.

No matter how much Old Man Xu planned and prepared, Wang Cuixia wouldn’t buy any of it, handing it all back the same way she got it.

"Alright, complaining about my mother to me serves no purpose. Besides, it was your Xu Family that made the first mistake, and I’m aware of that."

"Quickly tell me what the situation is with my mother, and did you tell her about things here? However, it seems there were nine international calls recently, perhaps from my mother. Old man, do you have anything else to add?"

Those nine international calls were probably from his mother. It seemed he really misunderstood and almost missed his mother’s call. But anyway, better hang up on the old man and hope that if he calls back, his mother might still be there.

Old Man Xu was even more frustrated now. Having finally found someone to share his frustrations with, this kid was already rushing off to follow Wang Cuixia.

But thinking of the Xu Group’s need for this kid, Old Man Xu just swallowed his grievances.

"Alright, call your mother back. After you finish your call with her, no matter what, I hope you’ll return to the Xu Group."
