Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Birthday Banquet Looking for Trouble (1)_1

And at home, Situ Xin was truly the apple of everyone’s eye. When she said she wouldn’t go, Old Master Loo and Old Master Situ immediately decided that those talents were not worth pursuing.

So, while other children in the compound were sent to learn various talents, Situ Xin stayed at home, keeping the elderly gentlemen company. The fact that the Situ Family’s granddaughter did not go to learn any talents was well known throughout the entire compound.

"Liu Zhengyang, what in the world is the matter with your sister? What kind of madness is she unleashing up there?" Situ Jin would become very difficult to deal with whenever it involved his precious little sister Situ Xin. Just a moment ago, Situ Jin’s face had been smiling as he praised Liu Zhengyang’s sister. But the next second, upon hearing what Liu Qianxue had said, his expression changed.

"This kid’s sister? Hurry up and bring your sister down for me. Otherwise, I’ll go up and catch her myself. If she gets hurt or bumps into something, don’t blame me." Loo Jie wouldn’t discriminate between genders or show any mercy when it came to someone wanting to embarrass his sister. Saying this, he was ready to go up on the stage and grab the person.

Meanwhile, Liu Qianxue on stage, seeing that Situ Xin hadn’t come up, thought that Situ Xin was afraid of embarrassing herself and was all the more smug about it. Now, she stood there and urged, "What’s the matter, Situ Xin? Are you scared, or can you simply not play the piano and are just a pretty but useless decorative pillow?"

When Liu Qianxue’s words came out, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who already had unpleasant expressions, looked even more displeased. Old Master Loo forced a smile that did not reach his eyes as he looked at Old Master Liu: "Liu Guodong, your granddaughter sure has a way with words, daring to call my granddaughter a ’pretty but useless decorative pillow’." Old Master Loo’s expression made Old Master Liu internally exclaim, "This is bad."

He knew that the current situation in the Capital City was very different from when he had left. If once the Liu Family had a foothold in the Capital City, now they were nothing there. Meanwhile, the Situ Family and the Loo Family’s status had risen significantly.

Actually, when the Liu Family left the Capital City, it wasn’t because of his health—his health was just a pretext. The order for his son’s demotion had also been arranged by him. He had received a secret order from above indicating that, in the following years, there would be a major overhaul of several families in the Capital City. After receiving instructions from above, to avoid calamity during this major shake-up, he had left the Capital City with his family.

Even though Elder Liu had left the Capital City, he still paid close attention to its dynamics. Originally, when he heard that Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran had encountered gunfire during military exercises, he knew that the powers that be had started to move, and he felt fortunate for his own actions. He also thought that the Situ and Loo Families would definitely fall this time.

But unexpectedly, in the end, the news he received was that the Loo, Situ, and Xiao Families’ positions in the Capital City had climbed even higher, while the high-ranking official who had been informing him was arrested. There was indeed a major overhaul in the Capital City, but it was those in his favor who were replaced.

This time, the Liu Family returned to the Capital City because Old Master Liu saw the situation as stable and felt discontented, planning to return to reclaim their former status in the Capital City. This time, he intended to rely on the power of the Yu Family.

After Old Master Liu returned, although he was not fond of Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Old Master Xiao, he kept his feelings to himself and was outwardly humble towards these elders, because he knew that the Liu Family was no match for these families at the time.

But he could never have imagined that his granddaughter would ruin all of his previous efforts at this birthday feast. If Old Master Liu knew that Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Old Master Xiao had been observing his actions all this time, who knows what he would think.

"Enough, don’t waste your breath on him. Let’s go find Baby," Old Master Situ said, more concerned about his precious granddaughter. He feared that her tender heart might be hurt.

After Old Master Situ and the others left, Elder Yu sighed and said, "Old Liu ah, you’ve offended someone now." Having said that, Elder Yu also walked away.

As for Situ Xin, the smile on her face grew even wider when she heard these words. Situ Jin and the others were all geared up to catch Liu Qianxue and find a place to give her a good beating.

Now, in the eyes of Situ Jin and his peers, Liu Qianxue was not just a little girl, but someone intent on causing embarrassment for Situ Xin. And when it came to dealing with someone after Situ Xin, they would not hold back, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman.

"Alright, don’t rush. If you want to settle the score with someone, you need to wait. Since they’ve already said such things, how can I, the person concerned, not show up?" Situ Xin stood up with a slowly broadening smile.

"Baby, you..." In the eyes of Situ Jin and his peers, Situ Xin had never touched a piano from a young age, so they were worried and called out to her.

But Situ Xin stopped the words coming out of Situ Jin’s mouth. "Alright, my dear brothers, I know what you’re worried about. However, when have you ever seen me lose face? I would rather not disgrace others, let alone myself." As she spoke, Situ Xin made a reassuring gesture to them and started walking towards the stage.

Just when Loo Jie was about to say something, he was held back by Situ Che at his side, "Trust in Baby. You know what kind of person she is."

As Situ Xin approached the stage, she was stopped by Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Old Master Xiao who had rushed over. "Baby, no need to worry. You go sit with your brother, and Grandpa will handle this for you," Old Master Situ comforted her upon seeing her.

When Situ Xin saw the worried looks in the eyes of her grandpa, her maternal grandpa, and Grandpa Xiao, she felt warmly reassured, and the coldness in her eyes quietly melted away a bit. "Grandpa, Maternal Grandpa, Grandpa Xiao, I’m fine. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. It’s just a piano performance, nothing serious. You all just watch from below, and remember to clap for me at the right time." Saying this, Situ Xin playfully winked at the three grandpas.
