"Zhi, you and Mr. Xue are...?" Xu Zhen, hearing her call him 'old man,' couldn't help but be startled.
Since taking office, Xue Xiongsen had rarely interacted with prominent business families and had never privately met with any family head.
His appearance at today's event undeniably conveyed to everyone the relationship between Xue Xiongsen, the Xu Family, and its granddaughter.
It wouldn't take long for this to make headlines.
"We're friends." Yu Zhi blinked, not feeling at all that there was anything wrong with such a statement.
Xu Zhen: "..."
What he meant to ask was how the two of them knew each other.
"Mr. Xu, I was in a car accident a few years ago, and Little Zhi saved me," Xue Xiongsen explained succinctly, his expression unchanged from a moment ago.
"So that's how it is." Considering the many prying eyes around, Xu Zhen didn't press further but felt much more at ease.
