As expected, on the next day after Xiao Chengyu's death, news of Old Mr. Xiao's hospitalization was leaked by the press. The entire Capital city was shocked.
Who didn't know that yesterday was Old Mr. Xiao's 80th grand birthday banquet? Old Mr. Xiao's cheerful, spirited countenance had become a thing of history. In just the blink of an eye, a joyous occasion had ended up in bereavement. Xiao Chengyu's young, promising life had been cut short just like that.
Everyone had very strong emotions toward this matter.
Some people felt that it was a pity for the talented Xiao Chengyu to have passed away at the prime of his life.
Some felt sorry for the pain of a grandfather and father having to send off their young descendant.
Some people sighed at just how unlucky the Xiao Family was, and at the fact that the family no longer had an heir now.
Of course, there were also those who derived joy from this tragedy.
