Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Tea (2)_1

Situ Xin didn’t mention the Broadway trip to Xia Yujie or Liu Yuxiang. Instead, when the time came, she just got into the car and went to Broadway with her brother, Situ Jin, and others.

Now Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao, despite having cars at home, wouldn’t drive themselves. Even when going to classes, they would arrive at the Situ Family’s house every morning to ride with Situ Xin and the others to school.

Fortunately, the men of the Situ Family were always a beat slow when it came to matters of the heart, so up to now, not one of them had noticed anything unusual about Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao. The Loo Family, on the other hand, were quick to catch on to romantic relationships, but since Old Master Loo was still at home every morning when the two visited the Situ Family, he was also unaware of their little schemes.

If the Situ and Loo Families knew about their intentions, they would firmly oppose any attempts by the two to get close to Situ Xin.

Situ Xin and the others arrived at Broadway at the agreed time with the class, but Situ Jin and the others didn’t expect to see Liu Qianxue there. The moment Situ Jin stepped out of the car and saw Liu Qianxue, his expression turned sour.

As for Situ Xin, she just glanced at Liu Qianxue before shifting her gaze away.

When Liu Qianxue saw Yu Qihao get out of the car, her eyes lit up and her face was full of joy. But her happiness didn’t last long; as soon as she saw Situ Xin get out of the car, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered what her family had said about Situ Xin, recalling that she and her brother were in the same class.

Liu Qianxue’s feelings towards Situ Xin were complex, filled with defiance, envy, fear, and most of all, jealousy. She was jealous that Situ Xin was doted on by so many. Of course, there was also a bit of hatred, because in her mind, her position in the family had declined, all because of Situ Xin.

Ever since Liu Qianxue’s failed attempt to scheme against Situ Xin, which instead left her with a lost face, she could feel that her grandfather’s attitude towards her had completely changed. He not only sent her to boarding school but also no longer indulged her every whim. Many times, her requests were denied.

And this time, her insistence on going to Broadway wasn’t just out of curiosity, but also because she heard that Yu Qihao would be going too. She was determined to follow, seeing it as an opportunity to regain her former status in the family. She knew the Yu Family was a target her grandfather always wanted to win over, and right after she got back, he had even revealed plans of a marriage alliance with the Yu Family to her.

So, she now felt that if she could secure Yu Qihao, she might have a chance to turn things around.

After all, Liu Qianxue was the sister whom Liu Zhengyang had doted on for so many years. The moment he saw his teary-eyed sister looking at him, he gave in and agreed to bring her along to the class reunion.

"Ah, Situ Jin, you guys finally made it. I thought you were going to stand us up this time," the class president said jovially as he approached Situ Xin and the others descending from the car.

Normally, Situ Jin wouldn’t take the class president’s jesting to heart, but today his mood was foul. He lifted his wrist, glanced at his watch, and said without expression, "I remember the time you told us hasn’t arrived yet." After Situ Jin spoke, the smile froze on the class president’s face, but because of Situ Jin’s status and his own pride, he maintained the smile. However, Situ Jin wasn’t ready to let it go just yet, "Class president, since when can we bring family members to our class reunions?"

Before the class president could respond, his buddy stood up to answer, "We agreed to let Liu Zhengyang bring his sister because he provided us with Broadway’s gold card."

Hearing this, Situ Xin nodded, understanding the situation. Indeed, not just anyone had access to Broadway’s membership cards, let alone a gold card. However, she recalled the information about the gold and platinum members that Xia Yujie recently brought to her, and if she remembered correctly, not a single one was registered under the Liu Family’s name.

Upon hearing the reason was a membership card, Situ Jin felt even more uncomfortable. He had thought about flicking out the platinum membership card he carried and telling Liu Qianxue to get lost. As he reached into his pocket to grab the card, Situ Xin held his hand and shook her head, signaling him not to be impulsive.

That platinum card was originally intended for her father by Situ Xin, but then she thought about her father’s status and subsequently gave the card to her brother instead. Not only that, but she also handed out the platinum cards intended for her eldest uncle and uncle to their sons, while the one meant for her younger uncle was given to him personally, a businessman often frequenting such social venues.

Before presenting these platinum cards, Situ Xin had prepared numerous excuses, but ended up not needing any of them. Everyone assumed they were gifts from Situ Xin’s mysterious and elusive master.

Nobody would have guessed that Broadway belonged to their precious Situ Xin, whom they held in the palms of their hands.

"Besides, Liu Zhengyang also mentioned that he would cover all expenses for today," someone added after the class president’s buddy had spoken.

The comment made Situ Xin’s eyes flicker as she thought to herself that Liu Zhengyang was really throwing his weight around with money.

But it wasn’t Liu Zhengyang being extravagant; this was entirely Old Master Liu’s idea. He had learned from his grandson, Liu Zhengyang, about the class reunion at Broadway, and he knew that not only were the grandchildren of the Situ, Xiao, and Yu Families in that class, but also many children from the major courtyards.

Since the incident at Elder Yu’s birthday banquet, where his granddaughter Liu Qianxue tried to plot against Situ Xin and thereby offended the Situ, Loo, and even Old Deng, many who were initially observing or neutral towards the Liu Family’s return to reclaim their political foothold in Capital City had turned noticeably colder after the incident.

Such a situation was very unfavorable for the Liu Family’s development in Capital City. In recent times, Old Master Liu had been worried sick. He didn’t know which point to leverage to break the current stalemate.
