Chapter 52: They Wouldn’t Pull That Trick, Right?
In the end, Old Madam Li relented to Calix’s wish. She almost gritted her teeth when she told Butler Yang to prepare for the young man’s necessities during his stay here tonight.
"Make sure my grandson-in-law is comfortable. Tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him tomorrow too."
The flustered Butler Yang swiftly abid to Old Madam Li’s commands.
"As you wish, Old Madam. I’ll ensure everything is well."
Leslie was amused by Old Madam Li trying to stay calm. Everyone could see that she was extremely annoyed with Calix’s constant show of disrespect toward her.
Well, as in disrespect according to her own definition.
From the first time Old Madam Li and Calix met, the young man held his head high when he had opinions to share. His actions spoke volumes.
Even though he was the grandson-in-law of the Li family, Calix wouldn’t let them lead him by the nose. He also repeatedly showed how important Leslie—Charlene—was as his wife thus, he wouldn’t tolerate any scorn.
After all, he was the heir of the Xu family and the current CEO of Xu International. His family standing was above the Li family.
If Old Madam Li and the rest insisted on making trouble, Calix wouldn’t stay still. He was not willing to suffer grievances.
"Thank you, Grandmother-in-law," Calix kept his composure. He pretended not to see Old Madam Li’s silent fury, "I’ll surely sleep well tonight. I’ve been meaning to stay even for a moment in my wife’s childhood bedroom."
