Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Marriage Alliance

Downstairs, Xu Ke, who had just concluded a collaboration discussion with the old man of the Bai Family, was in high spirits. The old man also found Xu Ke, his future grandson-in-law, increasingly pleasing to the eye.

"I’m older than you, so today, on the occasion of my birthday banquet, I’ll take the liberty to address you by your first name as a junior," the old man of the Bai Family said with a smile.

Xu Ke, who had just established a partnership, smiled and replied, "My pleasure." Facing a partner, Xu Ke wouldn’t slight the other party, especially since this was no big deal.

"Since you’re my junior, I won’t beat around the bush and will speak directly. What do you think of my granddaughter Bai Xin? Although she hasn’t been back with us for long, our Bai Xin is smart and learns anything in no time. She’s willing to endure hardships and seems no different than those socialites who have been raised by our side since childhood. Her temperament is also quite gentle and soft, the kind you young people should like." The old man of the Bai Family said with a smile, satisfaction evident, but he didn’t forget to observe the changes on Xu Ke’s face.

"Although I have other granddaughters, the one I dote on the most happens to be this one I’ve just found not long ago. I suppose it’s fate between people. At my age, I tend to be a bit superstitious. Don’t laugh at me," the old man of the Bai Family said to Xu Ke with a smile.

"How could I?" Xu Ke saw that the old man had more to say, so he didn’t interrupt, gave a simple agreement, and handed the conversation back to the old man.

"Although I look fit and sturdy, I’m already sixty years old. I’m no longer young, and both my body and energy can’t compare to before. Everyone around me has found their destiny, and seeing them like this, I wouldn’t feel guilty facing my ancestors even if I closed my eyes someday. But it’s Bai Xin that I can’t let go of. She didn’t grow up by my side, and over the years, I don’t know how much suffering and hardships she endured where I couldn’t see. I feel guilty about this girl, and every time I think of the kind of life she led for the first dozen years, my heart feels as though it’s being cut by a knife."
