"That's strange. Does this old man know something?"
Chapter 314 Disappointing
He usually dotes on his precious grandson like the plague, but now he's just abandoning him like that.
I think there must be something going on here. Don't be fooled by the fact that this old man didn't seem to care about anything before.
But deep down, he knew better than anyone how to handle this matter.
Who are they all here for?
After they finished speaking, everyone whispered among themselves that these uncles and aunts were not good people.
Xu Lei's expression changed from the moment he saw them; it was as if he had just arrived. No wonder the old man had always been so protective of his eldest grandson.
Looking at the situation of this family, Xu Lei realized that if it weren't for the old man's strong support, Wang Xuhui's bad temper would have been completely ruined.
Even if he were kidnapped and sold for money, he wouldn't know how he lost, looking so pathetic.
Xu Lei was somewhat helpless and speechless; he could only go with the flow.
By helping him with this favor, I've essentially done the old man a favor.
Let him know that he'll have to help him out in the future; everyone understands this perfectly well.
Gao Xiaochen, however, felt that the boss was too unpredictable; how could he have predicted it so accurately?
This was done by someone you know. From the beginning, Gao Xiaochen didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
I just felt that this matter was too risky, and who knows who I might be getting involved with.
If they cause any trouble and end up killing them, they'll be in deep trouble.
By then, it would be difficult to recalculate everything from scratch. Thinking of this, Xu Lei smiled slightly.
"It was intuition, I think. From the moment I met that Mr. Li, I saw a certain intention in his eyes."
Gao Xiaochen was even more confused when he heard this; he couldn't see any objection from the other party.
They just thought he was an ordinary restaurant owner, and they had a huge conflict with Wang Xuhui on their first visit to the restaurant.
The boss just said a few nice words in a very cowardly manner and then brushed the matter aside.
How could the boss see something was wrong if nothing happened?
"Boss, you didn't see something in there, did you?"
This kid does mess with a lot of people, but none of them really want to fight him to the death.
Gao Xiaochen was also somewhat surprised at this moment, and even more grateful that Xu Lei was able to take this opportunity to bring her out.
Otherwise, it must be one of those people.
"Boss, I'm actually quite grateful now that you were able to help me turn over a new leaf back then."
Otherwise, I would definitely end up like Wang Xuhui. You know I have a temper that always flares up and I get angry at the slightest provocation.
So now I'm really glad you were able to bring me out back then, otherwise I really wouldn't know.
Who will kill and bury them then?
Xu Lei smiled silently upon hearing this.
"There's no exaggeration. The reason you're willing to embark on this journey is because you're not a bad person to begin with."
But Wang Xuhui is hard to say; this kid has a murderous aura about him from the very beginning.
He was deeply affected by his parents' death, especially since his uncles and aunts were not good people.
In the future, they will inevitably have to compete with them, so it's understandable that he harbors some resentment.
I actually think this is a very good relief, so that we don't end up making things so messy that we can't go on anymore.
You also saw that they were willing to cooperate and discuss this matter with us in detail before.
Besides, Grandpa Wang had previously said he would help you because he thought you looked quite like his grandson.
The other person was a little stunned upon hearing this, unsure whether his boss was praising him or insulting him.
Gao Xiaochen didn't care at all what kind of image she had of Wang Xuhui.
He just felt that this guy was really hateful, and Song Ran wanted to help with many things himself.
He's fine on his own, but he's exceptionally unhappy, so sometimes he inevitably speaks with a bit of arrogance.
"Since the person has already been rescued, we should definitely take them home."
Gao Xiaochen was very unhappy because she had never had a good relationship with this guy.
Now that she has placed herself in this position and is so sad and angry, I quickly went to comfort her.
“I know you’re the most magnanimous person. When Xu Lei told me about this just now, I realized that you’re definitely not the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die.”
Moreover, Wang Xuhui will naturally grow from this experience, and hopefully he can understand the expectations his grandfather had for him in this matter.
When Wang Xuhui returned home, he found that his uncles and aunts were still giving him the cold shoulder, and his grandfather was so angry that he couldn't get out of bed.
Overwhelmed with fear and anger, he lay in his hospital bed, unable to recover for a long time.
"Now that everyone's back, we don't need to wait here anymore. I have a meeting out of town tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to stay here for too long."
Look, everyone's back. I've had no chance to watch the excitement, and all the uncles and aunts are trying to leave for various reasons.
Old Master Wang just pursed his lips; he knew he definitely couldn't rely on these people.
"Go away, all of you, so you won't get in my way. My grandson has had such a terrible accident."
None of you wanted to help; you were all just waiting here for my meager assets. What are you thinking?
"Don't you think I don't know? Don't play the good guy in front of me. I, 240, know exactly what you're up to."
When Grandpa Wang said that, Wang Xuhui felt a little helpless. He knew that his grandfather had clashed with these uncles and aunts because of him.
"When something goes wrong, we still have to ask Xu Lei, an outsider, to help us."
I feel so ashamed just thinking about it now, and you guys were still here looking like you wanted to eat me alive!
It's understandable that the old man was very unhappy, since he would never have acted like this before, given how sudden the incident was.
When his grandson got into trouble, he was the first person to become extremely nervous and anxious.
But no one expected things to move so quickly.
"Who says otherwise? The current situation has already drained us all dry. I know you're worried about your grandson."
We didn't come all the way from different places, did we? Dad, if you say that, I feel really wronged.
You only have this one grandson; you have other grandchildren, but I've never seen you show him such affection before.
His life was a bit tough growing up, but compared to those who can't even afford to eat outside...
The child who couldn't afford school hesitated for much longer than others; this time, it was a lesson he learned.
After saying that, the uncle and aunt left and got up, leaving Xu Lei feeling a little embarrassed.
He and Gao Xiaochen stood to the side, watching as the internal conflicts within their family escalated.
Chapter 315 Admitting Mistakes and Correcting Them
After that person left, the entire room fell silent instantly, and Old Master Wang got up and coughed in anger.
He coughed up pus and blood several times, which terrified Wang Xuhui, who immediately took his family doctor to see him.
Fortunately, there's nothing seriously wrong, but I can't get so angry anymore. I need to calm down and take good care of myself.
Seeing that most of the people had already left, Xu Lei quickly went up to offer a few words of comfort.
He knew the other party was anxious and wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, but being anxious wouldn't solve anything.
“I understand all your pain and grievances right now. Wang Xuhui, you should grow up a bit more in the future.”
Xu Lei stepped forward and patted his shoulder heavily. Wang Xuhui helplessly slumped down beside his grandfather's bed and sobbed softly.
He has never regretted his actions as much as he does today.
"Grandpa, I had no idea you had endured so much pressure for me. I'm such a useless person."
I've caused you so much trouble. Today was supposed to be your birthday banquet, and everyone should be sitting together happily.
"You ruined your birthday banquet just because of me, didn't you?"
Wang Xuhui could only helplessly sob and cry uncontrollably.
Xu Lei, watching from the side, felt truly helpless and didn't know how to express his feelings.
This guy is always like this; he only realizes his mistakes and errors after he's done something wrong.
"Alright, alright! It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
You may feel that we've been a bit harsh on you, but you need to think carefully about how to proceed in the future.
They can't live off their parents forever, even though Grandpa Wang does have some assets.
But at this rate of squandering, it probably won't be long before all this wealth is gone.
Xu Lei bluntly pointed out the sore spot, and the other person immediately stopped convulsing upon hearing this.
"I understand, thank you all so much this time."
Gao Xiaochen just snorted coldly when she heard this, feeling somewhat helpless.
This guy finally remembered to say thank you; his arrogant attitude just now made her feel like she shouldn't have saved him.
"I can't accept this, I can't accept this. In the future, just try not to cause any more trouble in my shop."
Grandpa Wang already knew a lot about this matter, and he also knew that Xu Lei was a hard worker.
So she called them all out. Gao Qilan was a little worried, afraid that Xu Lei and Old Master Wang would be alone together.
If something happens to the old man, it's uncertain whether they'll be able to leave.
"Otherwise, I'll stay here with you or call Wang Xuhui in. There has to be a third party present, just the two of you."
Xu Lei was well aware of Gao Qilan's concerns, but he still shook his head slightly, believing that Old Master Wang was very popular in this area.
There must be a reason; I would never do something like framing myself.
Besides, he had just rescued his most precious grandson, so how could the man come back to betray him?
"I know what I'm doing, don't worry. He won't do anything to me. This is just the beginning, and we'll have to work through many issues gradually."
After he finished speaking, there was a subtle look in his eyes, and everyone knew that under such circumstances, everyone was stunned!
When Dr. Wang saw Xu Lei, he knew that the man was hardworking.
Moreover, he had the ability to help his grandson improve, so he secretly left, and everyone wanted to have a detailed talk with him about the matter.
"Grandpa, is there something you want to tell me? I..."
Xu Lei sat upright by his window, looking at Xu Lei with an air of righteousness.
To have achieved so much at such a young age is naturally a source of great emotion.
“My grandson is not as sensible as you. If he were even a tenth as sensible as you, I wouldn’t be so angry. That kid is a complete bastard.”
Hearing what Grandpa Wang said, Xu Lei couldn't help but chuckle.
"Although Wang Xuhui has his own problems, he is a good person at heart. He is just a bit impulsive, but that's understandable for young people."
Xu Lei looked at the frail old man in this Chinese-style home who was supporting the entire family.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had a breath left to hang Wang Xuhui, he probably wouldn't be living such a comfortable life.
Once the old man passes away, those uncles and babies are no pushovers.
Old Master Wang has clearly considered this aspect; he wants to truly cultivate Wang Xuhui.
“I never felt that he had grown up much since he was a child. My aunt treated him like a child when he was in his twenties.”
So no matter what big trouble he gets into outside, I just laugh it off and help him solve it.
I would never blame him; sometimes, if I thought about it too much, I would feel like I was letting him down.
After all, the child had suffered a lot in terms of urination and defecation, so I thought I should make it up to him.
While I still had the strength to speak up in this house, I never imagined that this would gradually harm him.
Xu Lei lowered his head silently, after all, this was someone else's family matter, and the old man was telling him these things.
