Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1399: Privileged Yet Hardworking

If I hadn’t been obedient at that time, maybe I would never have met Xu Ke now. So in life, we shouldn’t act recklessly solely for our own desires. Listening to others might create unexpected miracles.

Fortunately, I listened to my grandfather then, joined the Xiao Group, and got such an opportunity.

Otherwise, who knows when the two of us would have met? Perhaps Xu Ke might have someone else by his side already. After all, someone as outstanding as Xu Ke is surely not short of girls chasing after him.

On the basketball court, a young man in a white shirt noticed the commotion here, considering the two people, the handsome man and the beautiful woman.

Even passersby cast envious glances their way. Such handsome individuals were rarely seen at the school.

Changnan Film Academy truly is not lacking in attractive people, but these two stand out like the moon in the sky, unattainable, making others feel a sense of awe, yet they are simply wonderful to behold.

"Oh my, could this be the legendary Xiao Keyi, our senior? It’s said Xiao Keyi was the campus belle that year, pursued by many, but she focused on her studies without revealing her identity. Only after graduation did everyone learn that Miss Xiao Keyi was the heiress of the Xiao Group."

"Indeed, what I envy most now is the man beside her, who is also so handsome. Why does he look so familiar?"

"I wonder if that man is Xiao Keyi’s boyfriend. If not, I’d like to get his contact information. Maybe we can meet for a meal. Such an outstanding man is not easy to find, even in our field."

Passing beauties stopped one after another, taking out their phones to photograph the two from the back, as a bold senior approached, disregarding Xiao Keyi.

Handsome men and beautiful women here never lack admirers, so each tends to have high standards, rejecting many.

The beauty directly pulled out her phone: "Hey handsome, are you interested in sharing your contact info? You’re so handsome; you must be a student in this major. Which class are you in?"

"Why haven’t I seen you before? We should play basketball together on the field sometime and attend classes together. By the way, my name is Jimmy."

This beauty is obviously a foreign woman, with golden hair gently framing her well-defined features; she leaves a deep impression. Seeing someone pursuing the man she likes, Xiao Keyi became anxious.

She hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Xu Ke, and pushed the beauty’s phone away: "Sorry, he is my boyfriend. I’d appreciate some respect."

"I wish the beauty luck in finding her boyfriend soon."

Xiao Keyi’s voice was loud enough for everyone around to hear, and Fenfen felt a bit envious. Who would have thought such a handsome guy already had a girlfriend, and the illustrious heiress of the Xiao Group at that? The pair looked so perfectly matched; it was truly enviable, but there was nothing to be done but watch them leave.

"If only I had that kind of status, perhaps I too would have such a handsome boyfriend. Alas, people’s starting points differ, and I am so envious of Miss Xiao Keyi for having such a boyfriend who treats her so well."

"Now, the school heartthrob doesn’t seem handsome at all compared to this divine appearance—so dedicated too, publicly declaring his boyfriend status. Unlike the school heartthrobs who maintain many relationships, this guy truly is the epitome of manliness."

"If I could meet such a handsome and devoted boyfriend in my lifetime, it would be like my ancestors are blessing me."

The young man in a white shirt now completely believed it was Xiao Keyi. Many had heard how remarkable Miss Xiao Keyi was, constantly praised by the tutors.

Back then, Xiao Keyi was famous for her academic excellence and impressive acting skills. If she entered the entertainment industry, given the Xiao Group’s power, perhaps she would be a sought-after star by now.

Yet, Xiao Keyi inexplicably gave up, making even her tutors regret it deeply.

At this time, the young man named Cai Kun always focused on his studies in school, but the tutors kept mentioning.

"You had a senior who was exceptional, but she returned home to inherit the family business. Otherwise, she might have been a leading actress by now; it’s such a pity. You all should strive harder."

Many were dissatisfied hearing this. The senior was indeed remarkable, but had become legend, and why did the tutor keep bringing her up? If she was truly that great, why not enter entertainment?

Later they learned the senior was none other than Xiao Keyi, the well-known heiress of the Xiao Group.

She didn’t need the entertainment industry for great resources, so they all felt regret after knowing the truth.

"Why wasn’t I in the same cohort as that senior? If I were, I would study diligently, and surely the capable senior would help me improve. Unfortunately, I missed such a good opportunity."

"Indeed, it’s said Xiao Keyi was extraordinarily beautiful during her time. With many admirers, she paid no heed and didn’t date throughout university; there were no rumors after graduation. If she entered entertainment, she would have been a breath of fresh air."

"We truly missed the best era. If I had that background, perhaps I would be thriving in entertainment now."

After hearing the student’s comments, the tutor merely shook his head with a smile. These people, dreaming of turning from ugly ducklings into swans?

Despite having such a strong background, Xiao Keyi never relied on it, even deliberately hiding her identity while at school, making everyone think she was just a regular student.

Not until graduation did everyone learn Xiao Keyi was the famous heiress of the Xiao Group, surprising even the tutors greatly.

Those who have backgrounds and work hard will never be let down.
