Xu Ke was completely unaware of all this. Seeing the old Mr. Xiao come in, he quickly pulled a chair for the elderly man, inviting him to sit down.
"I originally planned to wait for you, but since the company closes early, I came over a bit sooner."
Mr. Xiao nodded upon hearing Xu Ke's explanation.
"Yiyi, how have you been feeling lately?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I've almost fully recovered during this period."
Xu Ke, being very obedient, quietly peeled apples on the side, unable to join in the conversation of the grandfather and granddaughter. The butler, however, kept observing Xu Ke.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he felt, involuntarily sighing. What was his old friend thinking, wanting to marry Xiao Keyi to that unknown country boy? She'd be better off marrying Xu Ke. Although this young man doesn't start with the advantages of those from prominent families, his capabilities are undeniable.
Upon hearing the butler's sigh, Mr. Xiao turned to him, slightly puzzled.
