Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Transfer Student (3)_1

"Jin, are you telling the truth?" Haotian, the epitome of filial piety, originally furrowed his brows, but upon hearing his son’s words, his face darkened.

"Really," Situ Jin said, glaring fiercely at Liang Ruobing.

No sooner had Situ Jin finished speaking than Situ Haotian said, "I won’t ask why you approached my baby; just get out of the Situ Family now. You are not welcome here."

Situ Xin was somewhat dumbfounded on the side. What exactly was going on? Wasn’t it supposed to be a family recognition? How did it suddenly turn into this situation after her just speaking out? It seemed as though the subject had completely changed. "Haoran, how can you treat me and your mother like this?" Like mother, like daughter. Liang Ruobing’s mother had a remarkably thick face, seemingly unfazed by Situ Haotian’s words.

"Oh, Haotian, how can you say such things? This is your eldest sister-in-law and niece." Apparently, Old Madam Jia thought the situation wasn’t chaotic enough and hurried over to add fuel to the fire.

"Old Madam Jia, I’ve respected you as my elder, and I’ve kept silent about your earlier remarks. But what do you mean by this? I am Situ Haoran’s wife, wedded in front of everyone, and I am still here. How did these two, who came out of nowhere, suddenly become Haotian’s eldest sister-in-law and niece?" Liu Qian, who had been silent until now, couldn’t help but stand up and speak out.

"I say, Grandma Jia, just what are you up to coming to our Situ Family today? And who are these two people from the Jia Family that you’re so intent on forcing into our Situ Family?" Situ Xin, no longer smiling, expressed her disgust toward Old Madam Jia. "Old Madam Jia, do you think the Situ Family is the kind of family where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be pushed onto us?"

Situ Xin’s words clearly affected Old Madam Jia and Old Master Jia’s expressions. Old Master Jia, with a less than pleasant tone, turned to Old Master Situ and said, "Situ, what kind of family education is this? At this juncture, should a little girl be speaking up?"

Actually, Old Master Situ’s mood had improved quite a lot. He looked at Old Master Jia and said, "Old Jia, I haven’t felt that my baby has said anything wrong. Now tell me, what intent brought you here today? I have been tolerating it out of respect for our good relationship, but don’t treat my entire family like fools." Old Master Situ paused before adding, "And as for our family’s education, that’s none of your concern. Our baby is doing just fine."

Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia usually didn’t get along, so they seldom met unless necessary. This afternoon, when Old Master Jia arrived at the Situ residence with Liang Yuemei and Liang Ruobing, Old Master Situ was quite puzzled, wondering what Old Master Jia was up to.

However, when Old Master Jia got straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit to the Situ Family, Old Master Situ simply looked deeply at Old Master Jia, Liang Yuemei, and Liang Ruobing mother and daughter, said nothing, and immediately picked up the phone to call Situ Haoran, who was in the army, telling him to come back.

After putting the phone down, Old Master Situ went back to his own business, not saying a word to Old Master Jia, Old Madam Jia, or the mother-daughter duo of Liang Yuemei. The reason Old Master Situ acted this way was first that he really had nothing to say to Old Master Jia; he was afraid that if he spoke, he would end up confronting Old Master Jia directly. Perhaps in another place, he might have shouted a few words, but this was his own home, and it was better to restrain himself.

Second, he trusted Situ Haoran wholeheartedly; he knew what kind of person his son was, so he didn’t believe a word of Old Master Jia. And since it was a matter related to Situ Haoran, it was better to remain silent when the whole situation was unclear.

Initially, Old Master Situ had intended to let Situ Haoran’s family resolve the matter themselves. Therefore, from the beginning, he had simply observed from the side without expressing his opinion. However, Old Master Jia’s comments about Situ Xin managed to provoke Old Master Situ thoroughly.

Situ Xin was the treasure of their family, whom he could hardly bear to scold on a normal day, but there Old Master Jia was, attacking his beloved granddaughter as soon as he arrived. Old Master Situ completely forgot that it was Situ Xin who had spoken first. With a stony face, he turned to Situ Haoran, "Haoran, explain to me honestly, have you been messing around outside?"

"No," Situ Haoran was a man of few words, but he affirmed his position very firmly.

"Grandfather, you know very well what Uncle’s character is like. How could he be the kind of person to mess around outside?" Situ Xin could not stand to see her family wronged. Although she realized her grandfather was prepared to let her uncle deal with the situation himself, she was worried he might be treated unfairly, given his reticence. Moreover, she could see that there was something unusual about this affair, especially Old Master Jia’s impure motives.

Squinting her eyes at Old Master Jia, Situ Xin then turned to Liang Yuemei. "Auntie, what exactly are you planning here, slandering my uncle without proof?"

"I didn’t. I really didn’t." As soon as Situ Xin finished speaking, Liang Yuemei’s tears started falling, no, rather, they had never stopped.

"Situ Xin, what do you mean by that? What my mother said is the truth," Liang Ruobing said, her eyes ablaze as she looked at Situ Xin. She was eager to curse Situ Xin out, but after seeing how cherished Situ Xin was by Old Master Situ and the others, she swallowed the harsh words.

"The truth? Hmph, well then, since it’s the truth, bring out your evidence," Situ Xin said, not looking at Liang Yuemei but scoffing at her.

"I, I... Haoran, have you really forgotten about that night’s events?" Liang Yuemei looked hopefully at Situ Haoran. Seeing the man who had matured with age but still possessed irresistible charm, she felt joy at the thought that he would soon be the support for her and her daughter.
