Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Explanation (3)_1

Does Liu Yun regard our Situ Family and Loo Family as people to be bullied at will?

The words of the two Old Madams instantly ignited the temper of Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo. In a moment, Old Man Situ leaped to his feet. "What do you mean by that, Old Xiao? When did my Baby ever have to marry into your Xiao Family? You might as well make it clear to me." "No, no, I didn’t say that," Old Master Xiao quickly clarified.

"Didn’t say it? Have your daughter-in-law repeat what she just said and listen to it," Old Madam Situ said indignantly.

With Old Madam Situ’s words, all eyes turned to Liu Yun. "What did you just say?" Old Master Xiao stared at Liu Yun as he asked.

Feeling uneasy under her father-in-law’s intense gaze, Liu Yun’s speech became hesitant. "I, I—"

Impatient, Old Master Loo said to his Old Madam, "Old woman, repeat her words for me."

"She said her father-in-law originally wanted our Baby to marry their Muli, but now Muli has a fiancée. So, they said sorry to us," Old Madam Loo repeated.

Old Master Loo couldn’t contain himself any longer. "Nonsense! What does she mean by that, Old Xiao? You should know yourself. I’ll make it clear today; our Baby will never marry into the Xiao Family no matter what. I can’t believe that a girl like our Baby couldn’t find someone better," Old Master Loo said in a fit of anger.

"Yes, what Old Lu said is exactly what I mean. Old Xiao, let me tell you, with such a daughter-in-law, your Xiao Family will not amount to much. Let’s just draw clear boundaries between our families in the future," Old Master Situ was even more resolute than Old Master Loo.

"Grandpa Situ, Grandpa Loo, my grandfather definitely didn’t say anything like that. Besides, about this fiancée, my grandfather and I only found out about it yesterday, and we both completely disagree," Xiao Muli hurriedly spoke up on hearing Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo saying Situ Xin would not marry him; he was anxious.

"Indeed, Situ, Old Lu, you know what kind of person I am. How could I say such a thing? And about yesterday’s betrothal thing, I even scolded both of them," Old Master Xiao was also anxious. He regretted ever agreeing to let his son marry such a woman.

Considering how preciously the Situ Family and Loo Family cherished Situ Xin, how could they allow someone to speak ill of their darling?

Although Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo were aware that Old Master Xiao would never say such things, the fact remained that it was the Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law who had said them, thus it was as if the Xiao Family themselves had spoken.

Thus, Old Master Situ clenched his teeth in anger, deciding to sever the cooperative relationship with the Xiao Family.

"Situ, you know what kind of person I am after all these years, don’t you?" Old Master Xiao pleaded earnestly. At this point, he couldn’t even bear to look at his own daughter-in-law.

"Hmph, I do know about you. But now I no longer trust the character of your son and your daughter-in-law. With you backing the Xiao Family, nothing goes wrong, but once the day comes that you pass away, the Xiao Family will fall into the hands of your son and his wife. At that time, if they do something, both our families could be implicated," Old Master Situ was particularly incensed today after seeing Liu Yun’s behavior, thinking that Xiao Guobing of the Xiao Family was no reliable man.

"Hey, you old man," Old Master Xiao knew in his heart that Old Master Situ’s words were reasonable. His son’s character was indeed lackluster. And his daughter-in-law? She truly was problematic. She frequently represented the Xiao Family in public, helping her own family—as long as it wasn’t too much, Old Master Xiao would just turn a blind eye. But what happened today was simply too much. "Situ, rest assured, I will leave the Xiao Family directly in Muli’s hands. You should trust Muli’s character, shouldn’t you?"

Xiao Muli couldn’t care less about whether their families cooperated or not. Right now, what mattered most was his relationship with Situ Xin, and his heart was in a rush. "Grandpa Situ, Grandpa Loo, this whole fiancée matter has nothing to do with me, and I will take care of it. I truly care for Xiaoxin, I—" Xiao Muli didn’t care about his grandfather’s earlier instruction to keep things from Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo. With both elders now firmly against the marriage, Muli didn’t hold back.

"Hmph, Xiao Muli, even if you do like our Baby, what of it? I’ll have you know, with a mother like yours, even if we liked you, we would never marry our Baby to you. If our Baby married into your family, who knows how your mother would bully her," Old Master Situ unabashedly struck a blow against Liu Yun in front of everyone.

"Grandpa Situ, I promise, I won’t let Xiaoxin suffer even the slightest injustice," Xiao Muli, who didn’t have a deep affection for his mother—especially after she completely disregarded his feelings and spread the betrothal news all over—was not angry at Old Master Situ’s words but was eager to defend himself.

"Yes, Situ, Old Lu, I promise you, no one in our family will bully Xiaoxin," Old Master Xiao also stood up to support his grandson. But before he could finish speaking, Old Master Loo cut him off: "Enough. First, go home and take care of your son and daughter-in-law before you talk."

Situ Xin in the room already knew about the argument outside, which was being broadcast live to her thanks to Baibai. When Liu Yun and Fu Xiaoyi appeared in the courtyard of Situ Xin’s house, Baibai excitedly told Situ Xin, "Master, Xiao Muli’s fiancée has arrived." After hearing about the situation from Situ Xin the day before, Baibai regretted not having accompanied her to the Xiao Family’s house.
