Chapter 270: Chapter 270: You’ll See (2)_1

"My name is Situ Xin." Seeing that Murong Wanyu seemed genuinely upset by what her brother had done, Situ Xin promptly stood up and addressed her.

Spotting that Situ Xin was now engaging with her, Murong Wanyu stuck out her tongue at Situ Jin, made a face, and then turned around with a smile brimming on her face, about to say something to Situ Xin. Suddenly, a girl walked up to Murong Wanyu’s desk and stood there, looking down at Murong Wanyu with disdain, "Murong Wanyu, since you bear the Murong surname, don’t disgrace our Murong family. Look at you—what kind of outfit is that? And who are you to be friends with them?" The girl whispered the last sentence into Murong Wanyu’s ear.

But Situ Xin heard it regardless. To be honest, Situ Xin didn’t like the way the girl spoke, and even Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao frowned at her tone.

"Murong Mengyao, even though you’re my sister, whether I’ve disgraced the Murong family or what I choose to wear isn’t really something for you to judge. Besides, although I bear the Murong name, my father moved out of the Murong Family home long ago, so, you have no right to boss me around," Murong Wanyu retorted, her forceful comeback indicating she wasn’t the least bit inferior because of her attire, earning her Situ Xin’s added respect.

"Murong Wanyu, you... I’ll tell grandfather, and you’ll have a lot to answer for," Murong Mengyao loudly protested after being publicly humiliated by Murong Wanyu in front of Situ Jin and the several handsome boys.

The shrill sound of Murong Mengyao’s voice involuntarily made Situ Xin frown. At that moment, she realized that having a better-than-average sense of hearing wasn’t always a good thing.

When Xiao Muli saw Situ Xin frown and look uncomfortable, his gaze towards Murong Mengyao turned icy, "You, get out of here." Xiao Muli’s chilling voice immediately silenced Murong Mengyao, who had been ready to cause a scene and she stood there, somewhat at a loss.

However, Yu Qihao and Situ Jin weren’t ready to let Murong Mengyao off the hook. "You had better keep a distance of over two meters away from us in the future, otherwise, I’ll personally toss you out," they declared.

At that moment, Situ Xin’s homeroom teacher arrived. Urged by the teacher, Murong Mengyao returned to her seat, but she appeared dazed and didn’t recover for the entire class.

That evening, Situ Xin, unusually curious, called Xia Yujie before dinner to have him check on the Murong family in Capital City, especially information concerning Murong Wanyu’s family.

Although Situ Xin had never heard of the Murong family, from Murong Mengyao’s arrogant demeanor and her words, Situ Xin inferred that the Murong family held some standing in Capital City.

Upon receiving Situ Xin’s call, Xia Yujie’s first reaction was that the Murong family was in for trouble. Without much thought, he blurted out, "Miss, what did this Murong Wanyu do to cross you? Tell me, and I’ll take the brothers to handle it for you." Xia Yujie was aware of the Murong family, as Dragon Society had shares in some of the Murong family’s businesses.

And if the Murong family had indeed offended the young lady of the Dragon Society, he wouldn’t be too courteous.

"Xia Yujie, what are you thinking? I’m just asking you to look up some information, how did it turn into someone offending me?" However, the more Situ Xin spoke, the more guilty she felt, remembering every time she had asked Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang to gather information for her, it was because she found someone disagreeable and was about to take action.

"Heh, well, forget I said anything; I’m going to check on it now," Xia Yujie said as he hung up the phone. Because he knew Situ Xin’s temperament—often, to cover up her own guilt, she would dredge up the past to scold them. To avoid being lectured by Situ Xin about past issues, Xia Yujie thought it was best to slip away early.

That evening, after Xia Yujie called to say that the materials were ready, Situ Xin, too lazy to get them herself, asked Baibai to fetch them from the Dragon Society. But Baibai was also lazy and wouldn’t budge from where it lay.

Finally, Situ Xin offered up a deal: if Baibai went to the Dragon Society to get the documents for her, she would give it a whole chicken or duck. That was what finally persuaded Baibai to go to the Dragon Society to help get the materials.

Situ Xin lay on the bed in the space villa, her head resting on Baibai’s body, which had reverted to its original form. She leafed through the materials about the Murong Family that Xia Yujie had gathered.

The Murong Family, unlike those newly risen families in Capital City, was a family with a hundred-year history. But the Murong Family had been declining over the years and had lost its former glory. In Capital City, they were just an average family of some wealth.

Despite its decline, the people of the Murong Family still carried themselves as if they belonged to the nobility. They always looked down on others, feeling superior to the average person.

Of course, not everyone in this large family was like that—Murong Wanyu’s father was an exception. Murong Chen, her father, fell in love with a junior in college, a girl from an ordinary family.

But Murong Chen’s father, the current head of the Murong Family, was strongly against it. He demanded that Murong Chen marry a woman of equal social standing to their family.

Murong Chen did not compromise with his father. He insisted that he would marry only the girl he loved, and no one else.

Moreover, the very next day after Old Master Murong insisted that he marry the girl of equal social standing, Murong Chen secretly took the family household registration book and went to the civil affairs bureau with the girl he loved—who was also Murong Wanyu’s mother—and registered, securing their marriage certificate.

Reading this, Situ Xin thought to herself, "Murong Wanyu’s parents sure had progressive thoughts."

When Old Master Murong learned of this, he was, of course, furious. He even demanded that Murong Chen and Murong Wanyu’s mother quickly get divorced, or else he would disown Murong Chen.

Old Master Murong thought that by stating this ultimatum, Murong Chen would surely give in. To his surprise, Murong Chen resolutely took Murong Wanyu’s mother and left the Murong Family.
