When Victor arrived at his grandpa-Christopher Xiao's residence, he found that Karl, Grace, and Terence with his wife had already been there.
"Grandpa, Dad, mom, uncle, aunt," Victor then walked into the living room and greet them.
At the sight of Victor, Terence gave a glance at the clock on the wall. "Victor! Looks like you're late," Terence responded, a mysterious smile forming on his lips.
"Sorry, it's raining outside and there was a traffic jam on the way, so I'm a little late." Glancing at the clock, Victor explained casually.
However, Terence didn't plan to change the subject. He insisted on asking, "Victor, you are wrong. I came from the company. We are on the same way. Why didn't I arrive late? Victor! You should try to find your own reason for everything. Don't look for any objective reason if anything happens! "
When Grace heard Terence's words, she was very displeased, and her face darkened. She looked at Karl beside her and found that he was just staring at Victor and Terence calmly.
"You're right, uncle. But there's something you don't know about it. As a manager of the company, I have to work later than others and I will naturally work later than others. " Victor stressed on the word "manager"!
Of course Victor knew what was on his uncle's mind? Ever since his uncle return from abroad, Terence had been putting his hand on the YS Group, trying to get control of it. And this time, he did it deliberately, because he wanted to Victor to make some mistakes in front of Christopher Xiao, so Christopher Xiao would be suspicious of Victor. And in this way, his uncle would be able to take charge of the YS Group smoothly, and Victor would not play according to his uncle's rules.
There was nothing Terence could do but to humiliate himself. After taking a casual glance at Terence, Victor ignored him and went straight to his grandpa. "Grandpa, my father said that you were not in good health recently. Are you okay?" Victor asked respectfully.
"Don't worry. It's not a big deal. Your do are worried about me." Christopher Xiao said with a smile. He was no longer the insufferably arrogant man in the business field as he was before, and now he was just an ordinary old man.
"Don't say that, Grandpa. I should care about you." Victor said with a grin.
Seeing that Victor and Christopher Xiao were good friends, Terence and his wife felt a little jealous. It had been half a month since Terence came back. In the past half month since he entered the YS Group, he had realized a problem deeply that his nephew was far more difficult to deal with than he thought.
At first, Terence thought that since Victor was less than thirty years old, it was inevitable that he was lack of experience at such a young age. And it was also undeniable that Christopher Xiao had played a major role for Victor to get his present position. But now,
erent. Teresa will be your wife in the future. Although you are not engaged yet, you are going to get married sooner or later."
"Yeah. A few days ago, Connie came to our house and discussed about your engagement with me. We should do it as soon as possible. " Added Grace.
Before Victor could retort, Terence opened his mouth first, "what a time! You and Grace even engaged for Victor. Victor has a girlfriend in the company."
Upon hearing this, Grace couldn't hold her temper anymore. "That kind of woman can't be a member of our Xiao family!" When Grace said this, her voice rose in scorn as if she would feel sick if she thought of Sophia.
"Mom!" When Victor heard what Grace said, he felt dissatisfied, but he just frowned and reminded her.
Seeing the interaction between the mother and the son, Terence felt secretly happy. But he pretended to be surprised and said, "well, my sister-in-law knows about the affair between Victor and Sophia. Then why you also make a match between Victor and An family's daughter? I thought you didn't know that! "
Karl pulled at Grace's hand under the table, hinting her to stop talking about that. However, Grace thought that they had to make a deal with that matter in front of Christopher Xiao today. Anyway, Victor had always obeyed Christopher Xiao's orders. If Christopher Xiao wanted Victor to get engaged to Teresa, Victor would have to think about it.
"It's a big deal. Victor made a mistake. As his mother, I can't watch him make the same mistake all the time! I know the background of Teresa. Anyhow, she is a hundred times better than that woman. " Ignoring Karl's gesture, she continued.
"Grace," With that, Terence waved at Grace and said, "you shouldn't say like that. This woman is Sophia who has a noble name. How could you just ignore her! Victor is not a child anymore. If he couldn't decide his own marriage, how could he take the helm of the company?"
