Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Embraced from Left and Right (3)_1
So, Situ Xin would never allow these two women to follow both Situ Che and Loo Jie, even just for show. She didn’t want these two women to become the ones who would destroy her brothers’ families.
"Hey, who is your sister? Auntie, please polish your eyes. This sister isn’t so easily acknowledged." Saying this, Situ Xin then spoke to Situ Che and Loo Jie, "Brother Che, Brother Jie, I don’t mind you two are not yet married and finding a woman or two, I, as your sister, have no complaints. But, you should also be discerning in your choices. At the very least, find someone presentable and tactful. Yet look what you’ve found, two flamboyant aunties," Situ Xin said, her words undoubtedly slapping the faces of Sang Yu and Manny.
However, Situ Xin was not ready to let Sang Yu and Manny off the hook. "Brother Che, Brother Jie, look around at the other brothers and their partners, all understanding and knowing their place. They know what to say, what not to say, what to involve themselves in, and what not. But look at you two, what kind of women have you found, acting as if they are some bigshots, so arrogant and overbearing. It’s truly nauseating," Situ Xin said as she pushed aside the cup of tea that Manny and Sang Yu had poured for her, signaling Situ Che to pour her tea.
Situ Che obediently took another teapot and poured tea for Situ Xin, humbly saying, "Yes, yes, both your Brother Jie and I are short-sighted. Next time, let Baby pick for the two of us."
"Yes, we trust Baby’s judgment." Situ Che and Loo Jie were worried not only because they adored her, their dear sister, but also because they feared the little one might report back to their grandfather.
Although in the Capital City, it’s very common to bring a woman along to social gatherings, if the heads of the Situ and Loo families found out about this, it would be a serious issue, especially since the women accompanying them had managed to offend their precious darling.
Thinking of this, they both could imagine how unsightly their grandfather’s face would be and how fearful the punishment awaiting them would be.
"Hmph, I don’t have that much free time to help you pick out female companions. However, I’m quite willing to help you two pick a wife. Oh, right, Brother Che, Brother Jie, Auntie and Auntie Mother recently got together, and they’ve been discussing matchmaking for the two of you." Situ Xin said with mischief in her voice.
As soon as Situ Xin’s words came out, Ruan Yanbing said, reveling in the misfortune, "Ah Che, Ah Jie, perhaps we’ll hear about you two getting wives in a few days?"
No sooner had Ruan Yanbing’s words landed than he received a glare from Situ Che and Loo Jie.
Situ Xin heard the schadenfreude in Ruan Yanbing’s tone, and being quite protective, she could bully her brothers Situ Che and Loo Jie herself, but she wouldn’t be happy if someone else did.
Indeed, after sipping the tea that Situ Che had poured, she raised her head and looked at Ruan Yanbing, "Brother Yanbing, I think Auntie is eager to hold her grandson early, and I wouldn’t mind having a good chat with her."
"Eh, Xiao Xin, I was wrong, I was just blabbering. Please don’t mention this to my mom," Ruan Yanbing immediately softened when he heard Situ Xin’s words. His mom had more than once whispered in his ear that he was of age to settle down, even showing him photos of daughters from other aristocratic families, suggesting he pick one. If Situ Xin put in a few words to his mother, Ruan Yanbing could imagine the sort of life he would lead.
Although Situ Xin was not very familiar with Ruan Yanbing, she was quite well acquainted with his mother. The Ruan Family might not have the same military and political influence in the Capital City as the Situ or Loo families, but they were still influential.
Although the Ruan Family didn’t live in the same compound as the Situ and Loo families, Ruan Yanbing’s mother was a close friend of Situ Che’s mother and Situ Xin’s aunt, having grown up together.
The two frequently visited each other, and moreover, when Situ Xin’s aunt, Liu Qian, started looking younger and healthier, Ruan Yanbing’s mother became envious and couldn’t help asking her how she maintained herself.
Liu Qian asked Situ Xin for permission before telling her skincare secrets and showing the products to Ruan Yanbing’s mother, explaining that they were made by Situ Xin. Thereafter, Ruan Yanbing’s mother became a regular at the Situ house, coming around to get cosmetics from Situ Xin, which gradually fostered familiarity between them.
"Depends on my mood. If I happen to be in a bad mood when I see Auntie, I might accidentally say the wrong thing. If I’m in a good mood, I might be more careful with my words," Situ Xin said to Ruan Yanbing, deliberately taking her time.
Ruan Yanbing now deeply regretted opening his mouth as it always seemed to get him into trouble, "Xiao Xin, just tell me, what would it take for you to be in a good mood?" he almost felt like crying.
"Haven’t thought of it yet, I’ll let you know when I do. Right now, I’m hungry," Situ Xin was simply teasing Ruan Yanbing; she didn’t have much free time to meddle in other people’s affairs.
"Hungry, are we? Let’s have a few snacks first to tide Xiao Xin over," said the skinny guy sitting across from Situ Xin, gesturing to the waiter to serve some of the restaurant’s signature snacks.
The young masters in the private room put away their amusement at Situ Che and Loo Jie’s potential misfortunes. They did not want to end up being the butt of a joke themselves by drawing Situ Xin’s attention.
Although they might not be closely acquainted with Situ Xin’s family, they had no doubt that if Situ Xin visited their families, she would be treated like a princess. Not to mention what might happen if she let slip a few words, intentional or otherwise.
