Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Old Deng’s Home (3)_1

Old Deng always listened to Old Lady Deng, and indeed, with one warning glance from Old Lady Deng, she successfully made Old Deng shut his mouth.

"Ah, found it." Situ Xin finally located the item she was searching for in the kitchen of the space villa. Having found it, Situ Xin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; a bigger place wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

"This is for you, Grandpa Deng." Situ Xin handed a jade box she took out from the space to Old Deng.

As Old Deng took the jade box from Situ Xin, he asked, "Xiao Xin girl, what is this?" Old Lady Deng looked on with interest at the box, saying, "This jade box is carved so exquisitely."

Seeing Old Deng and Old Lady Deng’s interest in the jade box, Situ Xin was taken aback for a moment. It wasn’t the box she meant to give to Old Deng, but rather the contents inside. "Grandpa Deng, why don’t you open it and see?"

Old Deng opened the jade box, and the moment he did, a rich tea aroma wafted out. Even Old Lady Deng, who was standing by, caught the scent. "This..." Old Deng looked up at Situ Xin, surprised. He couldn’t believe that there was tea in the world that smelled stronger than the tea he usually drank. Knowing that the tea he usually enjoyed was specially supplied and produced in very small quantities nationwide. Yet, it did not even have one-tenth the aroma of the tea Situ Xin had given him.

"This tea was given to me by my master." Some time ago, Situ Xin, seeing her grandfather and maternal grandfather’s fondness for tea, had Liu Yuxiang find her some tea trees. She had no idea where Liu Yuxiang had acquired them from, but he had managed to procure a Great Red Robe tea tree. However, the tea she gave to Old Deng today was not Great Red Robe, but Tieguanyin. Seeing Old Deng’s eyes sparkling at the sight of the tea, Situ Xin thought to herself that if he was this impressed with the Tieguanyin, she wondered what his expression would be if she brought out the Great Red Robe.

"Old hag, go get my tea-brewing tools; I want to brew some tea." Old Deng was also a tea enthusiast and couldn’t wait to try this excellent tea he had received.

Situ Xin was quite adept at tea art, but she didn’t plan to show off this time. She knew that Old Deng’s tea-brewing skills could not be considered top-notch, but they were slightly better than average.

Old Deng made his tea with practiced motions, and in no time, he poured the steeped tea into the cups. Situ Xin took a sip from her cup and silently scored Old Deng’s brewing. It seemed, whether it was the quality of the tea leaves or not, although the tea fell slightly short of the one Situ Xin usually brewed with Spiritual Spring water, Old Deng had outdone himself this time.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. It seems that the previous issue with my tea-brewing wasn’t my fault, it was the quality of the tea leaves." Old Deng took a small sip of the tea, and his eyes closed in contentment. "Xiao Xin girl, you’ll have to take care of Grandpa Deng’s tea supply from now on."

Situ Xin hadn’t expected Old Deng to have such a shameless side. In the blink of an eye, the day of the middle school exams arrived. This year, both the Situ and Loo Families had Situ Xin as a candidate, making them particularly anxious about the exams.

However, the two involved parties were not the least bit nervous. From morning, Situ Xin and Situ Jin could hear their mother, Loo Yaxin, saying in their ears, "Jin, Baby, don’t be nervous, okay? Just treat it as if it were any normal day."

"Yes, even if you don’t do well, we can have your grandpa and maternal grandfather speak to the principal, and there won’t be any issues with the school," Old Madam Situ chimed in as well.

Situ Xin and Situ Jin exchanged helpless glances. They were not nervous at all, and they didn’t know which eye their family saw their ’nervousness’ with. Moreover, it wasn’t just today that these words were spoken; they had started long before this morning. It wasn’t just their mother; the rest of the family would say it whenever they had a chance.

"Mom, Grandma, could you please tone it down a bit? Baby and I are not nervous, but you’re making us feel that way with your words," Situ Jin said somewhat impatiently.

"You rascal, what kind of attitude is that? Is this how you speak to your grandma and mom?" Old Master Situ immediately scolded Situ Jin with a glare as soon as he finished speaking.

Situ Jin was silenced by his grandfather’s glare and lowered his head to continue with his breakfast. Seeing that Old Master Situ looked like he was going to continue lecturing Situ Jin, Situ Xin quickly intervened, "Grandpa, we have an exam today, if you want to scold brother, please wait until after it’s over."

After Situ Xin spoke, Situ Jin shot her a grateful look. In this household, Old Master Situ would listen only to Situ Xin.

"Alright, I’ll say no more." Old Master Situ, having heard Situ Xin’s intervention, swallowed the words he was about to say. "Baby, don’t be nervous about the exam today. As I’ve said before, it’s alright if you don’t do well, I..."

Before Old Master Situ could finish, Situ Xin closed her eyes and said, "Grandpa, do you really have that little faith in your grandson and granddaughter’s abilities? Don’t worry, the middle school exams are no problem for us." Situ Jin also nodded in agreement.

Situ Xin and Situ Jin’s examination rooms were situated in their own school but not in the same room. When Situ Xin entered the examination room with her admission ticket, she saw someone she didn’t really want to see—Liang Ruobing.

When it came to people she didn’t particularly want to see, Situ Xin chose to ignore them. At Elder Yu’s birthday party, Liang Ruobing also hoped to see Situ Xin make a fool of herself. However, she didn’t get her wish, which filled Liang Ruobing with hostility towards Situ Xin.

Besides previously mistaking herself for the Situ Family’s granddaughter and feeling that Situ Xin had stolen the happiness that was rightfully hers, when the truth was finally revealed, Liang Ruobing’s hostility towards Situ Xin didn’t dissipate but transformed entirely into envy and jealousy.

Later, when she fell for Xiao Muli, and was rejected by him, she turned around and blamed Situ Xin for her failure. Now, she was consumed with envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Situ Xin.

Now, as soon as Situ Xin appeared in the examination room, Liang Ruobing pretended to be unimpressed, yet from the corner of her eye, she kept watch on Situ Xin’s every move. Situ Xin had long been aware that Liang Ruobing was looking at her, but she always acted as if she hadn’t noticed.
