Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Embraced from Left and Right (1)_1

As soon as Lan Junxi stepped into the private room, Situ Xin heard a man’s voice coming from inside. "Lan Junxi, you sure put on airs, making all of us wait for you alone. Later on, you, the latecomer, must drink a penalty of three cups. Young Master Situ, Young Master Loo, don’t you think I’m right?"

"Yeah, old rules, the late one drinks three cups," Situ Xin recognized the somewhat cold voice immediately. It was none other than her icy Big Brother, Situ Che.

"Young Master Situ, I was late today for a reason. I actually brought someone with me," Lan Junxi said confidently, his tone full of self-assurance.

"Oh? Who is it that could spare you from today’s three cups of alcohol?" Loo Jie curiously asked.

"Ah, Young Master Lan couldn’t possibly have brought a stunning beauty who would overshadow the nation’s grace, could he?" A coquettish voice rang out, causing goosebumps all over Situ Xin’s body.

Situ Xin didn’t want the topic of conversation in the room to revolve around her, so she followed Fu Xiaoyi into the private room.

When Situ Xin walked into the private room, the previously messy room suddenly fell quiet. The princes, whether standing or sitting, all behaved themselves, but their eyes unanimously turned to the doorway towards Situ Xin. Clearly, the young masters in this room all recognized Situ Xin.

Such a scene led some people in the room to misunderstand. They thought these young masters were enchanted by Situ Xin’s beauty.

"Wow, she really is a beauty, Young Master Lan, you’re incredibly fortunate," said the same coquettish voice as before, which made Situ Xin’s goosebumps rise again. However, this time the voice carried a hint of jealousy. Situ Xin followed the sound and saw that the woman speaking in that irritatingly sweet tone was actually sitting next to Situ Che, now leaning slightly against him.

Situ Xin frowned as she watched this scene. The woman leaning against Situ Che was, to say the least, seductively gorgeous. At a first glance, one would be dazzled by her appearance. However, Situ Xin found her quite unlikable, with too much of an air of the demimonde about her, not to mention that her eyes were full of greed and schemes.

"Yeah, Young Master Lan, you really are lucky, surrounded by beauties on all sides." The woman sitting next to Loo Jie, who looked quite innocent, spoke. The words may be typical, but the look in her eyes revealed her to be an old hand at these games, filled with calculations. "Young Master Lan, take a look, so many people in the room are envious of you," she said, laughing softly.

Situ Xin glanced at her own figure in response to the women’s words and inwardly complained to Baibai, "Baibai, do I really look that old? How could they think that I—." Baibai, addressing Situ Xin’s grumble, lazily glanced at her and remarked, "This just shows you’ve developed well." After speaking, he closed his eyes again.

The two women had been lingering longest by the sides of Situ Che and Loo Jie, and here they were, seeing how frequently the princes changed their female company while Situ Che and Loo Jie never seemed to replace them. This made them feel that their status was different from those other women.

And those young gentlemen who often mingled with Situ Che and Loo Jie thought that Situ Che and Loo Jie had taken a liking to these two women, so naturally, they treated them differently from the other women who were more familiar with the ways of the world.

This caused the two women’s attitudes to become increasingly bold. Suddenly, they forgot their original status.

"The two of you, shut up," Situ Che had not been particularly interested in whoever Lan Junxi brought. However, when he saw the odd looks in the eyes of the people in the room, he looked up towards the door, and what he saw caught him by surprise.

He scolded the woman he brought, Sang Yu, and quickly stood up.

"Young Master Situ, you, you actually yelled at me for her?" The woman named Sang Yu, in Situ Xin’s view, was truly out of her mind to dare question Situ Che like that. She really did not know her place.

Situ Xin, holding Baibai, just stood at the door, ready to enjoy the show.

"Ah, Sister Sang Yu, don’t be sad. Young Master Situ just can’t bear to see a woman upset," said Manny, the woman who had been sitting with Loo Jie, reveling in Sang Yu’s misfortune.

But just as her words fell, she was rebuked by Loo Jie, "Shut up and get lost," he shouted, standing up from his seat and walking towards Situ Xin.

Sang Yu and Manny were seething with rage, their eyes looking at Situ Xin as if they wished to dismember her on the spot.

Situ Xin caught their hostile gaze and, playfully provocative, responded with a taunting and challenging stare. Her look immediately struck a nerve in the two women.

Sang Yu said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Vixen."

Manny cursed, "Slut."

The two of them were infuriated by Situ Xin and yelled insults that everyone in the room could hear.

Situ Xin was just waiting for this, and as soon as the words left Sang Yu and Manny’s mouths, she turned to the approaching Situ Che and Loo Jie with an expression of grievance and said, "Brother Che, Brother Jie, they insulted me."

Everyone in the private room knew how much the Situ Family and the Loo Family doted on Situ Xin, but they had only heard about it and never witnessed it firsthand. Now, the young masters in the room were all watching how Situ Che and Loo Jie would handle the situation.

"The two of you, get out of here and never show your faces around us again." Even if Situ Xin hadn’t spoken up, he had heard Sang Yu and Manny’s insults, and he wouldn’t let them off the hook either.

"Young Master Situ."
