Chapter 155: Chapter 155: The Illegitimate Daughter (2)_1

After the Old Master Situ’s family returned, Old Madam Situ anxiously asked about the results, but Old Master Situ only replied, "The results will be out in three days," and then he led the way upstairs. The three of them went to the study to discuss matters.

And during dinner that night, everyone was in a low mood. Liu Qian, in particular, felt uncomfortable even though she had chosen Situ Haoran in her heart. The appearance of a woman with a child claiming a relation to her husband was distressing.

As Situ Xin ate, she noticed everyone at the table seemed distracted and sighed inwardly, saying, "Oh, come on, everyone just eat. Don’t think about anything else. Don’t worry. That woman has nothing to do with my uncle, and that child is definitely not my uncle’s."

Her words snapped everyone back to reality, and they looked up at Situ Xin. Old Master Situ’s mood improved a lot at her words. "Oh? Baby, how are you so sure?"

"That’s because I trust my uncle," Situ Xin said, turning her head and giving Situ Haoran a radiant smile that dispersed the dark clouds in his heart. "Plus, my master taught me how to read faces, and it was clear at a glance that the people who came today were up to no good."

Her words lightened the mood of everyone around the table, and the atmosphere was not as gloomy. After hearing Situ Xin, Loo Yaxin chuckled and playfully tapped Situ Xin’s nose, saying, "You sure talk a lot, girl."

When the night was deep and still, Situ Xin stripped off her pajamas and urged Baibai, who was still nestled in bed, "Baibai, hurry up, I have things to do." Ever since she had Baibai as a mount, Situ Xin had stopped thinking about crafting a flying device.

During this period, whenever Situ Xin had time, she would enter her space to research tool refining. After some exploration, she could now craft items like storage bags and space rings. Although the finished products did not look nice, their internal spatial capacity was substantial.

When Baibai saw the storage rings she crafted, it stared at her with its tiger eyes for quite a while until Situ Xin felt uncomfortable under its gaze and asked why it was looking at her like that. Only then did Baibai say, "Master, you’re a genius. If you were in the Cultivation World, those old geezers would be fighting to take you as a disciple."

Although Situ Xin felt smug after hearing Baibai’s comment, she still had some doubts about her storage rings and bags’ ugly appearance and wondered if Baibai was just flattering her.

Situ Xin called out to Baibai for a long time, but it continued to lie in bed motionless, playing dead. Baibai now deeply regretted revealing its larger size in front of its master and becoming a mount for her.

Baibai didn’t mind being Situ Xin’s mount; what irked it was being pulled out of a comfortable bed every time it settled down to carry out tasks.

Seeing Baibai playing dead, Situ Xin unceremoniously picked it up and threatened, "Baibai, if you don’t get up willingly, I’ll throw you into the space tomorrow."

Situ Xin knew Baibai’s weakness. As soon as she finished speaking, Baibai begrudgingly opened its eyes and grew larger. Baibai’s biggest fear was being thrown into the space by Situ Xin. Although the spiritual energy inside the space helped with its cultivation, it had been alone in the space for thousands of years and felt very lonely.

Triumphant, Situ Xin mounted Baibai and commanded, "Off to the Jia Family." That’s right, Situ Xin planned to spy on the Jia Family that night. She wanted to see what the Jia Family was planning or if they were in cahoots with Country Y.

The Jia Family also lived in the same military compound, but because Old Master Jia and Old Master Situ were at odds with each other, the two families rarely interacted. This was the first time Situ Xin had set foot in the Jia Family’s compound, the first time she had stepped through its gates.

Originally, Situ Xin intended to snoop around Old Master Jia’s study, but upon arriving downstairs at the Jia residence, she noticed a room where the light was still on.

Seeing the lit room, Situ Xin deduced it was likely Old Master Jia’s study and muttered to herself, "Old Master Jia is still awake at this hour. Who exactly is he plotting against?"

Situ Xin had Baibai fly outside the room with the light on. Since the curtains were drawn, the people inside couldn’t see her.

"Zheng Tao, is the information you provided accurate?" Old Master Jia sat in his study, tapping his pen intermittently on the desk.

"It should be accurate. Dad, what’s the matter?" Jia Zhengtao was a bit puzzled. He was Old Master Jia’s youngest son and the one with the most promise.

"Today, when I took people to the Situ Family, not a single one of them admitted anything. And in the end, they even requested a paternity test. From the reaction of the Situ family members, it seems like they really have nothing to do with that woman." Old Master Jia didn’t look at Jia Zhengtao but spoke pensively, as if lost in thought. "From what I see, Situ Haoran doesn’t seem like the kind to mess around outside either. This matter doesn’t seem reliable."

"The information shouldn’t be wrong, and that woman was adamant that the girl is Situ Haoran’s, wasn’t she?" Jia Zhengtao became somewhat uneasy after hearing his father’s words. After a pause, he suggested, "Dad, how about this, I’ll go check the hospital. If the paternity test results are not what we want to see, I can have the doctor change them."

Outside the window, Situ Xin sneered silently upon hearing Jia Zhengtao’s words, "The Jia Family is really something, daring to reach out to the Situ Family. Let’s see if they have the capability to handle it."

Hearing Jia Zhengtao’s words, Baibai became quite indignant and said, "Master, all the people here are bad. Let me go in and teach them a lesson." Baibai had grown fond of the Situ Family members after spending some time with them.
