The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter
Chapter 276: Murong Big Brother (1)_1

"Oh, Xiao Xin is hungry. Auntie will go and urge your uncle right away," Wu Qingya, Murong Wanyu’s mother, completely ignored the first half of what Murong Wanyu had said.

"Wanyu, your mother is really enthusiastic," Situ Xin knew that Wu Qingya’s enthusiasm was well intended, but such warmth was really a bit much for her to handle.

"Hee hee. Well, you see, my mom has absolutely no resistance to cute, pretty girls like you. You have no idea how disappointed she was to find out my Big Brother was a boy after giving birth. That’s why she had me afterward. When I was born and my mom found out I was a girl, the joy she felt — I don’t even know how to describe it to you."

"You don’t know how to describe it to me because you were just a newborn baby at that time," Situ Xin glanced at Murong Wanyu and said calmly.

As soon as Situ Xin said this, Murong Ansheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Murong Wanyu shot her brother a glance, then turned to Situ Xin with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Hehe, well, I didn’t see it myself. It’s all what my dad told me. However, my mom’s joy didn’t last long. She soon realized that her daughter wasn’t turning out like she had hoped. You know, I’m completely a tomboy. So today, when she saw you, she just wouldn’t let go. You should really thank me, if I hadn’t diverted my mom’s attention at just the right moment, you would have been in a tight spot." After speaking, Murong Wanyu looked at Situ Xin with an expression that clearly said you owe me one.

Murong Ansheng shook his head helplessly at his sister. "Wanyu, drop that look. You know you’re asking for a smack with that expression."

Situ Xin had a sumptuous meal at the Murong Family home. Even though Situ Xin, who was always uncomfortable with ingredients from outside her house, managed to eat quite a bit thanks to the Murong Family’s warm hospitality, they still felt that Situ Xin hadn’t eaten much.

Murong Wanyu’s father, Murong Chen, looked at Situ Xin and said, "Xiao Xin, you really should eat more, look how skinny you are."

Hearing Murong Chen’s words, Situ Xin looked down at her slender frame. She really wanted to say to Murong Wanyu’s father, "Uncle, it’s not that I eat too little, but no matter how much I eat, I won’t gain weight. My figure is well above average." Since Situ Xin began her cultivation, her body was no longer that of an ordinary person; she simply couldn’t get fat no matter how much she ate.

After eating at Murong Wanyu’s place, Situ Xin sat down with the family and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she called home so the driver could come pick her up.

It was late, and even if she wanted to go back by herself, the Murong Family wouldn’t feel at ease, not to mention her entire household.

When Situ Xin called home, the phone was picked up almost immediately. Old Master Situ answered the call and, without waiting for Situ Xin to speak, asked her to give him the address so he could come and pick her up right away.

Situ Xin failed to notice the implication of Old Master Situ’s words and gave him the address. It wasn’t long before the car arrived downstairs.

The Murong Family escorted Situ Xin downstairs. Wu Qingya, Murong Wanyu’s mother, was holding onto Situ Xin’s hand with a reluctant expression, "Xiao Xin, come over whenever you’re free."

"Auntie, I understand," Situ Xin intended to politely respond with, "Then you should also come visit my home when you have the time." But thinking about it, she reconsidered. Given where she lived now, getting in wasn’t so easy.

While they were talking, the car door opened, and Situ Xin watched in surprise as her own grandfather stepped out of the vehicle. She walked over to Old Master Situ, "Grandpa, why are you here?"

The Murong Family, who had often seen Old Master Situ on television as a prominent national leader, recognized him instantly.

Although they had known about Situ Xin’s identity beforehand, seeing the legendary statesman in person left the Murong Family frozen in shock, unable to come to their senses.

It was Murong Chen, with his experience, who recovered first. Suppressing the nervousness in his heart, he approached Old Master Situ and said, "Greetings to the esteemed senior leader." His respectful demeanor was entirely different from the gentle, scholarly manner he had used while talking to Situ Xin.

"Mhm, hello. There’s no need to be so nervous. See, these days, I’m just the grandpa of my little Baby. Today, thank you for inviting my granddaughter to your home," Old Master Situ said heartily to Murong Chen. As he spoke, he gently patted Situ Xin’s hand, thinking to himself how nice it was to have his precious granddaughter by his side.

Indeed, because Situ Xin had not dined at home that day, there was more food leftover than usual.

"No, no. We should be thanking Xiao Xin. Without her, who knows what kind of marks this daughter of mine would be getting," Murong Chen didn’t dare to accept the gratitude from Old Master Situ. After all, they had invited Situ Xin over to express their thanks to her.

"Oh, come on. Grandpa, Uncle Murong, let’s not be so formal with each other, pushing this kind of courtesy back and forth. It’s getting late, so we’ll be leaving now. When we all have some free time, let’s get together," Situ Xin finished speaking and felt her words were rather formal.

"Alright, we’ll be going now. You’re welcome to visit us anytime," Old Master Situ’s invitation was a way of inwardly acknowledging the Murongs, suggesting that Old Master Situ recognized the Murong Family somewhat because of his beloved granddaughter. He trusted his granddaughter’s judgment; anyone Situ Xin personally appreciated was certainly worth getting to know better.

After returning from the Murong Family, Situ Xin played chess with Old Master Situ for a while. It wasn’t his special request; he claimed that it was to make up for the less enjoyable meal experience since Situ Xin wasn’t home for dinner.

Hearing her grandfather’s words, Situ Xin felt a mix of bemusement and disbelief. This was the first time she realized she apparently played a role in stimulating appetite.
