Unless Old Mr. Xiao was willing to completely disregard the family's reputation, he might have actually been able to forcefully get Xiao Shuo out. But even then, it seems it wouldn't have been worth it.
"Old Mr. Xiao is a businessman," Gui Xingli said. "Even if it involves his own descendants, his calculations are crystal clear."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "In his heart, Xiao Shuo, this unmotivated grandson, clearly isn't worth him gambling the Xiao Family's reputation."
Ye Yuning said nothing, her expression darkening.
Although she had never truly experienced familial warmth in this life and didn't know what a real family should be like, hearing Gui Xingli speak of Old Mr. Xiao in such a way, even just listening, made her feel that the Xiao Family was truly heartless.
Such kinship... whether it existed or not, what difference did it make?
"Can you tell me about my brother?" She really didn't want to hear any more about the Xiao Family.
