The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: The Most Beloved Grandson (2)_1

"What? How could this happen?" Yu Qihao could never have imagined that instead of severing ties between the Situ family, the Loo family, and the Xiao family, Grandpa Xiao would actually drive his own son out of the household.

"I think, this is because Grandpa Xiao was truly angered. Xiao Guobing marrying that wife of his is really nothing impressive, I don’t understand how Old Xiao agreed to it at the time. If Xiao Guobing had married another family’s daughter back then, the Xiao family would definitely be in a better position than now. Such a pity, what a waste." Elder Yu said with apparent regret, but his expression displayed not a trace of it, instead, he looked quite cheerful. "Alright, you don’t need to worry about this anymore. I think you, instead, should consider how to win over Xiao Xin’s heart. I’ve heard that Xiao Xin did not accept Xiao Muli’s confession, but she didn’t reject it either, saying that she would seriously consider it after Xiao Muli sorted out the arranged marriage issue." Old Master Yu paused as he observed his grandson’s facial expression, then continued, "Well, I’ve said my piece, the rest is up to you. I’ve told you clearly, I won’t oppose your affair with Xiao Xin, but if Xiao Xin eventually rejects you, you’re not allowed to fall into despair, refusing to get married or anything like that. If you can’t marry Xiao Xin, then you’ll have to come back and marry the person I’ve chosen for you." Old Master Yu was truly not to be underestimated in the political world.

He had prepared his backup plans even before anything had begun.

"Grandpa, I haven’t even started pursuing Xiao Xin yet and you’re already telling me all this," Yu Qihao felt quite uncomfortable upon hearing these words.

"You may not like hearing this, but you have to listen whether you like it or not. Anyway, I’ve already laid it all out for you, it’s up to you now."

Over at the Situ family’s side.

After the members of the Situ family and the Loo family returned home and heard about the day’s events, they were all furious. Situ Haotian, Situ Haoran, and Situ Che, along with Loo Jie, after hearing about the incident, wished they could grab some weapons and go argue with the Xiao family.

In the end, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo were able to hold them back but deep down, they were all discontent. This Xiao Muli, without making a sound, had attempted to steal the treasure of their Situ and Loo families, and this Liu Yun, what nerve she had showing off in their home.

Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian mumbled to themselves about what kind of man Xiao Guobing was, utterly unable to control his own wife.

When everyone heard from Old Master Loo that Xiao Guobing and Liu Yun had been driven out of the Xiao family by Old Master Xiao, their rage finally began to subside.

Unlike the rest of them, Situ Xin was calm, holding Baibai. She truly didn’t see it as a big deal, only feeling that what Xiao Muli’s mother, Liu Yun had done was excessive.

Even Baibai had a bone to pick with Xiao Muli, and it especially couldn’t wait to scratch Liu Yun’s face.

That night, when Situ Xin entered her space, Baibai was still agitated and furious.

Listening to Baibai incessantly badmouth Xiao Muli, saying how he had let it down, and how despicable and blind Liu Yun was made Situ Xin helpless, and she had to speak to calm Baibai. "Baibai, we already know all of this. Actually, they are not as worthless as you’re making them out to be."

Situ Xin had yet to speak when Baibai bristled up in response. "Master, how can you say that? Let me tell you, even saying these things about them is being too kind to them. Especially that Liu Yun..." Watching Baibai’s mouth open and close without stopping gave Situ Xin a headache.

"Stop, stop, Baibai, I know that you’re standing up for me. I misspoke just now. Look, I’ve given Liu Yun a lesson too. I haven’t mentioned the investigation on the Liu family, right? I also stopped all actions that would have helped the Liu family."

The investigation into the Liu family was something that Situ Xin was the first to know about. The Dark Division and the Dragon Society informed her as soon as they got the news. Initially, Situ Xin, aware that the Liu family was Xiao Muli’s maternal family and considering the relationship between the Xiao family and her own, was intending to lend the Liu family a hand.

But before Situ Xin could make her move, this incident happened. Situ Xin decisively ordered the Dragon Society and the Dark Division to stop all assistance to the Liu family.

If you say, in this world, there are few who could help the Liu family tide over this crisis, and Situ Xin was one of them. But unfortunately, Liu Yun had crossed Situ Xin without seeing who she was dealing with. The Liu family might have escaped this disaster, but now, they had to face the covert sabotage from the Situ and Loo families.

Yes, while Situ Xin was comforting Baibai in the space, all of the men and boys of the Loo and Situ families, including Little Boys, had gathered in Old Master Situ’s study to discuss how to "send a little extra" to the Liu family.

After learning about Xiao Muli’s confession to Situ Xin, Yu Qihao, despite it not being a success, spent the entire night tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He pondered, although Xiao Muli’s confession to Situ Xin was unanswered, she had not flatly refused; instead, she said she would consider it. This meant that Xiao Muli was slightly ahead of him.

At least, Situ Xin now knew about Xiao Muli’s feelings but had no idea about his own.

Having not slept well the entire night, Yu Qihao woke up early with two large dark circles under his eyes, surprising his grandmother and mother by asking Yu Qihao whether something had happened that he couldn’t resolve.

After a night of deep thought, Yu Qihao finally decided to express his feelings to Situ Xin.

But obviously, Yu Qihao lacked Xiao Muli’s thoughtful approach. When he arrived at the Situ family’s residence, Old Master Situ and Situ Jin were just about to head to the training ground.

Upon seeing Yu Qihao, Situ Jin said, "Qi Hao, what made you think of coming to see me today?" They had been back from the military for so many days and had their own things to do, so they hadn’t met.

"Oh, I came to see Xiao Xin today." Usually, Yu Qihao was quite thoughtful and thorough in his actions, but today, because he planned to confess his feelings to Situ Xin, he was extremely nervous. All he could think about was whether Situ Xin would reject him on the spot after his confession; he had no room to think about anything else.
