Chapter 437: Chapter 437 It must have been done by Situ Xin (3)_1

"Hello," Old Master Xiao pressed the phone to his ear. He barely got the word out when a torrent of abuse from Old Master Situ erupted from the other side.

"Xiao Qingsheng, I never thought you could be so sly and shameless. Your grandson and granddaughter are just as underhanded and disgraceful. How dare they hire someone to slash my Baby’s face? Hmph. Your Xiao Family is bold indeed." Old Master Situ was truly infuriated by the Xiao Family. He had heard from Situ Jin’s mouth that Xiao Yanlei, along with others, went to Situ Xin’s school to ruin her face. Without asking for a reason, Old Master Situ had taken the phone, looked up Old Master Xiao’s number, dialed it, and unleashed a tirade at the man on the other end of the line. "I’m telling you, Xiao Qingsheng, this matter isn’t over between our Situ Family, the Loo Family, and your Xiao Family."

"Grandfather, give the phone to me," Situ Xin said as she watched Old Master Situ passionately declare that the issue with the Xiao Family was far from over. She felt both touched and helpless. Situ Xin knew that although it was common knowledge that their Situ Family and the Loo Family didn’t get along with the Xiao Family, it wouldn’t be beneficial for the three families to make a big fuss over her incident. Plus, Situ Xin felt that since it was originally her own issue with the Xiao Family, she should resolve it herself—and she had the capability to do so.

Old Master Situ cherished his precious granddaughter Situ Xin dearly. As soon as she spoke, he handed the phone to her.

"Is this Chief Xiao Qingsheng? I’m Situ Xin. You must already be aware of what your granddaughter and grandson did to me," Situ Xin said to Old Master Xiao, skipping the formalities of calling him grandfather and addressing him directly by his title, clearly showing her stance.

"Yes, I just found out about it from my grandson Xiao Yanlei," Old Master Xiao replied upon hearing Situ Xin’s words. A bad premonition grew stronger inside him with regard to Situ Xin, someone whom the political figures in the Capital City were wary of. And understandably so, given her identity as the Dark Division Leader and her connections with the Dragon Society. Everyone feared her. "About this matter..."

"This matter, I hope that Chief Xiao you will not intervene, and none of your Xiao Family should, as it ultimately concerns our younger generation. Of course, for this issue, my grandfather and the Situ Family, as well as the Loo Family, won’t get involved either," Situ Xin said calmly, as if discussing the weather.

"Situ Xin, about this matter, it was my granddaughter Liu Yuhan and grandson Xiao Yanlei being foolish..." Old Master Xiao cautiously began to speak, lowering his stance. He knew that if Situ Xin had her way, and he and the Xiao Family didn’t protect Liu Yuhan and Xiao Yanlei, those two would be utterly destroyed by her. Despite being upset at Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan for their impulsive actions and provoking someone they shouldn’t have, they were still members of the Xiao Family—his granddaughter and grandson.

If he didn’t intervene, and let them cause trouble, gossips would surely speak ill of them. The Xiao Family would lose not only face but honor as well.

However, Situ Xin didn’t give Old Master Xiao the chance to finish. She spoke indifferently on the phone, "Oh? Chief Xiao, I don’t think your words are quite right. If we’re talking about age, your grandson and granddaughter are much older than me. As for being foolish, I don’t even know where to start."

Old Master Xiao was silenced by Situ Xin’s words. Her point was undeniable. She was actually younger than Liu Yuhan and Xiao Yanlei. If anything, it should be them bullying someone younger, not the other way around.

After a moment of silence, Old Master Xiao spoke in a somewhat stiff tone, "Situ Xin, could you, for the sake of your Grandfather Xiao, refrain from holding a grudge against those two? Shall I have them come and apologize to you?"

Situ Xin heard Old Master Xiao’s words and let out a mocking laugh. Who did Old Master Xiao think he was, talking about his face? What a joke. "Chief Xiao, just for your sake? Ha. However, Chief Xiao, your granddaughter and grandson wanted to slash my face, now tell me, if I were to do the same to your granddaughter’s face and then just say sorry, would you accept it? Would your granddaughter accept it?" In the phone call, her voice carried a laugh but also a chill.

Old Master Xiao didn’t expect that even after he had humbled himself so much, Situ Xin remained unyielding. His expression grew darker and more ominous, causing Xiao Yanlei, Liu Yuhan, and Cao Mengqi, who was watching, to feel suspended in dread.

"Chief Xiao, my thoughts are the same as before. If you and your Xiao Family stay out of this matter, then I won’t target your Xiao Family. However, if you insist on being involved, then I can only say I’m sorry," Situ Xin didn’t want to waste any more time with Old Master Xiao. She had delivered her message clearly. "Alright, Chief Xiao, you might want to think about it. I will act accordingly." With that, Situ Xin hung up with a "snap".

Listening to the "beep beep" sound coming from the other end of the phone, Old Master Xiao’s face turned an ugly shade of black. Had he not been somewhat rational, he would have thrown his phone out in anger a long time ago. No one had ever had the audacity to hang up on him like this before.

Xiao Yanlei watched his grandfather, whose expression hinted at a brewing storm, and bit his tongue, swallowing the words he was about to say.

After hanging up the phone, Old Master Xiao felt a surge of frustration he couldn’t vent. Turning to Xiao Yanlei, the catalyst for the whole mess, anger flared up within him. "Xiao Yanlei, how old are you this year to still be causing trouble like this? You’ve managed to make a fool out of your grandfather. If it weren’t for you, would I have to grovel before a little girl?" What Old Master Xiao left unsaid was that even after he had humbled himself, she had utterly dismissed him. "Do you realize that you’ve brought disaster upon our Xiao Family because of this?" He didn’t wait to see Xiao Yanlei’s face or bother about Liu Yuhan’s leg as he stormed out of the ward, fuming.
