Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Don’t Interfere (2)_1

"Oh? Hey, the reason I came today was on behalf of Old Xiao. He felt he didn’t discipline the younger generation well enough and didn’t have the face to come to you all to plead, so he sent me instead." Old Master Yu said with an awkward smile, "Situ, Old Lu, look, this matter is between the younger generation. I think it’s best to let them resolve it among themselves, and we old folks should stay out of it, right?"

"Heh, Elder Yu, I like what you’re saying. That’s what my Baby said too. She said it was a matter between her and Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan, and asked us not to intervene, and we really didn’t get involved, listening to Baby’s words." Old Master Loo picked up his teacup, lowered his head to take a sip, hiding the contempt in his eyes.

"Yes, indeed. This time around, none of us old folks meddled in the Xiao Family’s affair. You know, when Baby speaks, we old timers won’t object," said Old Master Situ as he also picked up his cup and took a sip before continuing. "Moreover, Elder Yu, you got something wrong just now. Old Xiao doesn’t think those young ones in his family did anything wrong. He came to our house yesterday, acting as if it was my Baby who had made the mistake, huh." Thinking about Old Master Xiao’s attitude from the day before had Old Master Situ seething with anger inside.

Old Master Yu hadn’t expected that Old Master Xiao had already visited the Situ Family, and from the tone and expression of Old Master Situ, he knew that whatever Old Master Xiao had said hadn’t pleased Old Master Situ. Elder Yu couldn’t help cursing Old Master Xiao inwardly for not making his request clear to him.

At this point, Elder Yu could only offer an apologetic smile, unsure of what to say next.

"All right, since this is a matter for Xiao Xin and their generation, we old men should back off and just watch from the sidelines," said Old Deng cheerfully. Old Deng knew that if the older generation really stayed out of it and let Situ Xin’s generation handle it, with Situ Xin’s means and abilities, she was not one to suffer losses.

After returning home, Old Master Yu called Old Master Xiao to say he couldn’t help as Old Master Situ and the others were not getting involved, leaving everything to Situ Xin’s handling.

However, Old Master Xiao didn’t see it that way upon hearing Old Master Yu’s words. He had been informed by his subordinates over the past few days and knew that the relationship between Yu Qihao of the Yu Family and Situ Xin was quite special.

Old Master Xiao then pinned his hopes on Yu Qihao. And when he made this suggestion, it was immediately shot down by Elder Yu. He knew his grandson’s feelings for Situ Xin and was hoping that his grandson Yu Qihao would marry Situ Xin and bring her into the family as his granddaughter-in-law.

He was also counting on Situ Xin, his potential granddaughter-in-law, to elevate the Yu Family’s status in Capital City.

Clearly, Old Master Xiao was aware of Elder Yu’s schemes. He chuckled and said, "Elder Yu, you must understand, if our Xiao Family really gets caught by the Discipline Inspectorate with something, do you think your Yu Family will be spared? Do you think that at that time your Yu Family, your grandson, would still have a chance to marry Situ’s treasure? Elder Yu, I advise you to be realistic and take a clear look at the current situation."

The veiled threat in Old Master Xiao’s words abruptly brought Elder Yu back to reality. Yes, if this matter didn’t reach a perfect conclusion, what future would there be for the Yu Family to talk about?

Elder Yu thought that as long as he could protect the current state of the Yu Family, even if his grandson Yu Qihao couldn’t marry the outstanding Situ Xin, he could still marry a daughter from another aristocratic family, which would also be of certain help to the Yu Family.

With that in mind, Elder Yu firmed up his decision. He made a call to Yu Qihao, telling him to rush back home from school immediately, ensuring he would help him request leave.

Yu Qihao, upon receiving the call from his grandfather, stared at the hung-up phone, frowning and speculating about what his grandfather’s urgent actions were for.

Situ Jin looked at Yu Qihao’s expression and asked, "Qi Hao, whose call was it?"

"My grandpa’s. He said I should rush back, and he would arrange my leave for me." Yu Qihao spoke with a tone still filled with doubt.

"Oh, then you better hurry back. Perhaps your grandpa really has some urgent business with you," Situ Jin patted Yu Qihao’s shoulder, while Xiao Muli also nodded along.

"Grandpa, what’s so urgent that you had to call for me?" Yu Qihao had rushed back home as soon as he received his grandfather Elder Yu’s call. Upon arriving, he didn’t even stop for a drink but hurried to find his grandpa to find out why he was called back in such haste.

"Ah Hao, take a seat; Grandpa has something to tell you." Elder Yu knew that once he said what he had to say, his grandson’s future with Situ Xin would be over. After all, if the Situ and Loo Families learned that the Yu Family was siding with the Xiao Family, even if Situ Xin had feelings for his grandson Yu Qihao, neither of the two families would approve of Situ Xin being with his grandson.

The thought of having to personally sever his grandson’s promising match made Elder Yu’s heart uneasy. But for the sake of the Yu Family, he had no choice but to proceed.

Elder Yu couldn’t help but sigh, looking at Yu Qihao with an apologetic face. Feeling his grandfather’s weighted gaze, Yu Qihao felt unnerved, with a bad premonition brewing inside. "Grandpa, what exactly happened at home?" Yu Qihao asked a bit anxiously.

"Ah, Ah Hao, it’s your useless grandpa who has to sacrifice your happiness," Elder Yu lamented, causing Yu Qihao to frown, not understanding what his grandpa meant. However, he didn’t ask and just waited for his grandpa to complete his thought.

"Ah Hao, you’re aware of the issue involving Xiao Yanlei, Liu Yuhan, and Situ Xin from the Xiao Family. The Xiao folks have offended Situ Xin, which has led to retribution from The Dark Division, and now the Discipline Inspectorate has started an investigation into the Xiao Family." Elder Yu paused for a moment, all the while observing Yu Qihao’s expression while speaking. "You also know that our family has business relations with the Xiao Family. Therefore, Old Master Xiao called, threatening me that if I didn’t help the Xiao Family plead with the Situ Family, when the Xiao Family falls, the Yu Family wouldn’t fare any better. However, when I went to the Situ Family to talk to your Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo, they said they wouldn’t intervene in this matter and that everything was under Situ Xin’s control."
