Hearing Xiao Keyi praise Secretary Zhou, Xu Ke nodded: "Indeed, she’s handled quite a lot of trouble. It’s just that Secretary Zhou doesn’t get along with her mother-in-law at home, who wants her to quit and stay home to take care of the children."

Upon hearing that Secretary Zhou already had a family and children, Xiao Keyi breathed a sigh of relief and even felt a bit petty. She playfully tugged Xu Ke’s arm and said with a smile, "You’ve finally got a competent secretary, so why let her go home? You should think of a way. Besides, her mother-in-law is quite unreasonable. If your secretary were to go home to look after the child, what would her mother-in-law do?"

After capturing Xiao Keyi’s interest, Xu Ke finally mentioned the matter of borrowing people. After hearing it, Xiao Keyi promptly clapped in agreement: "You should have told me earlier! Besides, we have plenty of nannies at home to help with children. But I guess her mother-in-law is probably quite a handful. Anyway, we shouldn’t interfere too much in others’ affairs. By the way, I mentioned to you today that there’s a hot pot place that’s super delicious. Why don’t you come with me?"

After saying this, she pulled Xu Ke toward the garage. Xu Ke was a bit helpless; he looked around to see if the old man wasn’t around and, remembering the old man’s advice, he distanced himself a little from Xiao Keyi. Xiao Keyi naturally noticed this and frowned slightly.

"What are you doing? Didn’t we agree to go out for hot pot? Is something up at the company? Aren’t there other people to handle company matters? Why today?"

Seeing Xiao Keyi unhappy, Xu Ke felt a bit guilty. Was he overthinking things? This young girl didn’t have any ulterior motives.

Moreover, Xiao Keyi was his fiancée; it’s just that there was no formal proof at the moment.

It seems that if he had the time, he must return to the village, find his mother, and clear up this matter.

But now, to avoid arousing the old man’s displeasure, Xu Ke decided not to take Xiao Keyi away directly; otherwise, even the old man might be unhappy.

"You just got out of the hospital today, so your grandpa is probably very worried. You should go home early. If you want to eat, we can eat at the company restaurant another day; it won’t be wasteful."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Keyi was momentarily stunned. She had only been hospitalized for a few days, yet why had Xu Ke changed so quickly? Thinking of this, she suddenly became unhappy but could only hold back her temper.

"Alright, another day we’ll have a meal together. I’ll just head home now. If there are any issues, call me anytime."

After Xu Ke left, Xiao Keyi couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, and they fell directly. Seeing her tears, the nanny beside her became extremely worried. If Mr. Xiao found out, it wouldn’t end well, and besides, Xiao Keyi had just recovered from a major illness and wasn’t suitable for emotional distress.

Walking up, she patted Xiao Keyi’s shoulder: "Miss, please don’t be sad. He must have left because there are still matters at the company. Next time, you can have Mr. Xiao invite him over for dinner at home."

The nanny spoke while looking at her young mistress, who clearly had something on her mind and showed no sign of stopping. The nannies couldn’t do much about it.

Just as they were about to get in the car and leave, suddenly a small figure charged over like a cannonball, aiming straight for Xiao Keyi’s stomach. If the nanny hadn’t been quick to block it, Xiao Keyi might have been knocked to the ground.

The nanny clutched her stomach and cried out in pain after the collision. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Since Xiao Keyi was protected by the nanny, she wasn’t hurt but was startled. At first glance, wasn’t that Xiao Keyu? Why wasn’t he at school? Why was he here?

Not wanting to see this so-called younger brother, Xiao Keyi opened the car door, but Xiao Keyu refused to give up. The past few days had been unbearable for him.

Thinking of Xiao Keyi living a luxurious life with the Xiao Family, Xiao Keyu couldn’t accept that he was suddenly cast out. His classmates laughed at him, and everyone said he wasn’t the biological son of the Xiao Family.

"You’re just a bastard child; you don’t even know who your father is."

"Bastard" had become a label for Xiao Keyu lately, with nearly everyone he encountered saying it. Being a person who valued pride, all of this angered him, and he blamed it on his half-sister.

If not for Xiao Keyi, even if their father knew he wasn’t his biological child, he wouldn’t have kicked him out, considering the years of attachment. Now, it was all because of this woman in front of him.

As long as he could drive the woman before him out of the Xiao Family, he had hope of returning. Thinking this boosted Xiao Keyu’s courage.

He tossed his backpack to the ground, pushed the nanny aside, and walked up to Xiao Keyi.

"So, are you satisfied now that you’ve turned me into this? You’re nothing but a calamity!"

Upon hearing Xiao Keyu, Xiao Keyi frowned. She hadn’t done anything to Xiao Keyu, and after her car accident, she hadn’t even seen him.

The nanny quickly realized what was happening, immediately got up from the ground, and pushed Xiao Keyu away.

"You’re no longer the young master of the Xiao Family; who are you throwing a tantrum at here? Go find your mom, and don’t bother the young lady here, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."

Being treated like this by the nanny angered Xiao Keyu, so he kicked her. The nanny, unable to argue with a child, could only clutch her aching calf and frown.

Xiao Keyi didn’t expect that the person who had always spoiled Xiao Keyu, Xi Hongshi, still hadn’t taken the child away. Thinking of this, she instructed the nanny to get in the car first.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. You get in the car and wait for me. Rub your bruise a bit."

Having said that, Xiao Keyi looked at the furious Xiao Keyu standing in front of her.

"Are you very resentful of me? But you should resent your mother. If it weren’t for her bringing you shame into this world, do you think you would be in this situation?"

But Xiao Keyu wouldn’t listen; he insisted on his own beliefs.

"Don’t say more. None of this is that woman’s fault; it’s yours. If it weren’t for you, they might accept me. So what if I’m not their biological grandson?"

Xiao Keyi didn’t expect Xiao Keyu to be so stubborn. She smiled.
