Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Transfer Student (2)_1

"Yeah, Baby is back," said Situ Xin, sensing that something was off in the atmosphere at home. Nonetheless, she smiled at Old Master Situ and then walked straight over to sit beside him. "Grandpa, did you miss Baby?" Situ Xin didn’t like to see her grandfather with a stern face, looking preoccupied.

"Of course I missed my darling granddaughter," replied Old Master Situ, his mood lightening a little with Situ Xin’s arrival. Situ Jin also walked over and found a seat beside Situ Xin.

"Baby, after such a long time, don’t you recognize Brother Che anymore?" Situ Xin had been so focused on coaxing Old Master Situ that she hadn’t noticed the person sitting in the house. She looked up in surprise when she heard Situ Che’s voice.

She looked toward Situ Che, who was sitting at the other end of the sofa, and with a beaming smile, she stood up and threw herself into his arms. "Brother Che, you’re finally back. Baby missed you so much." Situ Che was now 18 years old and already a strapping young man.

Situ Che was now a sophomore at the military academy, and ever since he had started there, he spent a lot less time at home. But even so, his affection for Situ Xin had not diminished at all. The first thing he would do every time he came back was to chat with Situ Xin.

"Brother Che missed our Baby too," said Situ Che with a smile as he gently stroked Situ Xin’s hair.

"Oh my, why does everyone like to touch Baby’s hair? By the way, Brother Che, why did you suddenly come back? Is your school out already?" Situ Xin asked, effectively ignoring the irrelevant people around her whenever she was with her family.

Situ Che’s expression darkened for a moment after hearing Situ Xin’s words, but he quickly returned to normal. However, Situ Xin had noticed it.

It was then that she belatedly looked up and surveyed the people in the living room. Upon seeing her busy elder uncle Situ Haoran, and her father Situ Haotian at home, she realized something must have happened in the family.

Then, she saw someone she never expected to see there, Liang Ruobing. Situ Xin stood up from Situ Che’s embrace with a sharp gaze directed at Liang Ruobing and the middle-aged woman standing beside her. Liang Ruobing bore a resemblance to this woman, and from the latter’s appearance, Situ Xin could tell that she had been quite beautiful in her youth.

Her gaze then moved away from them, shifting to her mother Loo Yaxin, and her Auntie Liu Qian. At that moment, her mother Loo Yaxin was looking down, incessantly comforting Auntie Liu Qian.

Sitting in the living room were also two elderly people, a man and a woman, who from their attire and demeanor seemed to have come from the ranks of officials.

After looking around, the elderly woman addressed Old Madam Situ with a feigned affectionate tone, "Oh dear, this must be your precious granddaughter. She’s so lovely."

Situ Xin felt very uneasy about this elderly woman who had just spoken; she found her to be very insincere. So, she merely looked at the elderly woman with a smile on her face but said nothing. Instead, Old Madam Situ stepped forward and said to Situ Xin, "Baby, this is Grandpa Jia, and this is Grandma Jia."

Situ Xin might not like these two old people, but she couldn’t dishonor the Situ Family, could she? Smiling, she called out, "Grandpa Jia, Grandma Jia."

"Such a sweet child," said Grandma Jia with a smile. "Yurong, you’re so blessed to have two such beautiful granddaughters." The moment Old Madam Jia’s words were spoken, the atmosphere in the living room instantly tensed up.

Situ Xin noticed that the expressions on her own grandfather’s and grandmother’s faces had turned particularly ugly. She kept a smile on her face, but her eyes were devoid of any amusement as she looked at Old Madam Jia and said, "Grandma Jia, I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean. Our family only has me as a girl. Where did my grandmother get two granddaughters from?"

"Oh, Xiao Xin doesn’t know yet? Look, that is your sister." Old Madam Jia, not knowing if she was unable to read the room or pretending to be ignorant, turned and pointed at Liang Ruobing as she spoke.

And this middle-aged woman, as Old Madam Jia pointed at Liang Ruobing, said to her, "Ruobing, this is your sister."

Just as Liang Ruobing was about to speak, Situ Che’s cold voice cut in, "Auntie, please don’t randomly claim relatives. Our family only has Baby as a girl, and I only have Baby as a sister."

As soon as Situ Che spoke, Liang Ruobing’s eyes began to shimmer with tears. The middle-aged woman, too, was like Liang Ruobing, with tears glimmering in her eyes as she looked toward Situ Haoran, who had been sitting silently on the side.

"Oh, you child, how can you speak like that? Ruobing is your biological sister, far more related to you than your cousin," Old Madam Jia jumped in, her words carrying an accusatory tone.

"Old Madam Jia, there are some things you shouldn’t say carelessly," said Situ Haoran, who had been silent until now, with a voice slightly low.

"Haoran, you, what do you mean by that?" The middle-aged woman, with tears blurring her vision, looked at Situ Haoran, then spoke with a trembling voice.

"I mean, Auntie, could you speak normally? This isn’t some Qiongyao drama; don’t act like everyone is bullying you. Most importantly, Auntie, I’d still like to have dinner," Situ Xin figured out that these people had come to the Situ Family to claim kinship. When she heard the way they spoke, suggesting that Liang Ruobing was her uncle Situ Haoran’s child, her heart couldn’t help but twitch. What kind of looks were these? Could her uncle, the iceberg, really have fathered such a fragile daughter?

"Situ Xin, how can you speak to my mother that way?" Seeing Situ Xin speak this way about her mother, combined with the day’s events at school, Liang Ruobing’s gaze was filled with anger as she looked at Situ Xin. "Situ Xin, at such a young age, how can you be so venomous?"

"You shut up!" The moment Old Master Situ heard Liang Ruobing speak to Situ Xin like that, he grew furious. "What gives you the right to come to our Situ Family’s home and speak about our Baby like that?"

"I knew it, the way you transferred to our school today, always giving Baby those venomous looks for no good reason. You also kept brushing up against her intentionally or unintentionally, hmph, so you had an ulterior motive. At such a young age, to be so scheming. It’s terrifying." As soon as Liang Ruobing started speaking about Situ Xin, she had truly incurred everyone’s wrath. They were already unwelcome in the Situ household, and now she had provoked Situ Xin.
