Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Stunning (2)_1

Situ Xin glanced at her mother, and her eyes conveyed, "Such a piece of goods, and you were that scared before. Made you so uneasy?"

When Situ Xin noticed her mother, Loo Yaxin, was busy talking with Han Mengying and didn’t catch her look, she turned her gaze to her father, Situ Haotian. Throughout the entire exchange, Han Mengying had not paid any attention to Situ Haotian, who just happened to turn his head and meet his daughter’s gaze. Her eyes seemed to say, "Dad, what kind of taste did you have? How could you have fancied such a piece of goods?" Her look was full of contempt.

This made Situ Haotian quite frustrated. Even he couldn’t understand why he had been so foolish as to get involved with Han Mengying back then. However, he felt relieved that he had come to his senses early and had broken off the relationship with Han Mengying well ahead of time.

Overwhelmed by Loo Yaxin’s words, which reminded Han Mengying of the new wrinkle she had noticed that morning, her spirits plummeted, yet she managed not to show it on her face. She forced a smile and changed the subject, "Eh, where’s your dear Situ Haotian? Why didn’t he come with you?" The way Han Mengying spoke, it seemed as if Situ Haotian had abandoned Loo Yaxin.

"He’s here, how could he not be? You said on the phone that you wanted him to come along. And I always keep my promises. Haotian." Loo Yaxin, in a good mood, didn’t take Han Mengying’s tone to heart. Even if she sensed the ill-intent behind it, she simply attributed it to jealousy.

"Hello," Situ Haotian said as he finally got his turn to enter the scene. He shifted his attention from his daughter and greeted Han Mengying indifferently.

"You, hello." Since Loo Yaxin’s surprisingly youthful appearance had caught her off guard, Han Mengying’s focus had been fixated on Loo Yaxin’s face from the start and she hadn’t shifted it away, thus she had overlooked Situ Haotian standing behind his wife.

Looking at Situ Haotian, who had become more mature and exuded a manly charm with the passage of years, Han Mengying’s heart ached deeply. To be honest, over the years, she had dated and even married, but she had always harbored feelings for Situ Haotian. Her divorce, although not truly for Situ Haotian as she had told her friends, was agreed to so swiftly partly because she harbored the hope of reconnecting with Situ Haotian, thinking that she might still have a chance after her divorce.

With a face full of longing and eyes filled with deep infatuation, Han Mengying gazed at Situ Haotian. This caused Loo Yaxin to scowl at her side. Situ Haotian also felt uncomfortable being stared at like that. Furthermore, Situ Haotian had noticed his wife’s darkening expression and thought about how he had only just recently managed to be forgiven and get close to her again. If this woman caused another rift between them, it would be for naught. Situ Haotian’s face hardened, ready to remind Han Mengying that her way of looking at a man was inappropriate.

But before he could speak up, Situ Xin, irked by what she had seen, beat him to it and addressed Han Mengying, "Auntie, although I acknowledge that my dad is very handsome, I would appreciate it if you’d restrain yourself. Don’t drool over my dad like some love-struck fool, especially with my mom and me present. Besides, with the way you’re acting, I might think you’re trying to seduce my dad. But even if you threw yourself at him, I doubt he’d give you a second look." Although Situ Xin lowered her voice for that last remark, Situ Haotian, Loo Yaxin, and Han Mengying all heard it.

Han Mengying’s face suddenly darkened. She glanced around and thankfully no one was paying attention to them. Withdrawing her gaze from Situ Haotian, she turned to sit down Situ Xin and prepared to give Situ Xin a piece of her mind. The words Situ Xin had said rankled her, making her feel very uncomfortable.

However, before she could speak, Loo Yaxin put on an act of chastisement and approached Situ Xin, admonishing her, "You child, how can you speak like that? This is your mother’s old friend. Han Mengying, come on, baby, call her Auntie."

"Oh, Auntie, but Auntie, the way you were staring straight at my dad just now, that wasn’t right. My grandfather said that a woman who stares at a man like that is not from a decent family; she’s a ’ghost.’

Before, Situ Xin was merely curious about Han Mengying’s appearance, but after the incident, she looked down on Han Mengying from the bottom of her heart.

The words Situ Xin had said fanned the flames of Han Mengying’s anger. However, seeing the innocent confusion on Situ Xin’s face, she found she simply couldn’t vent her wrath.

Fortunately, at this moment, Han Mengying’s friend at the restaurant private room, worried because Han Mengying had gone a long time to meet Loo Yaxin and Situ Haotian and hadn’t returned, came out to check. "Mengying, haven’t Loo Yaxin and the others arrived yet? Huh, Loo Yaxin?" Han Mengying’s friend, Zhang Xiao, exclaimed in disbelief upon spotting Loo Yaxin.

"Zhang Xiao, long time no see," Loo Yaxin greeted her with a smile.

"It really is Loo Yaxin, why do you still look so young? I’m so jealous I could die," Zhang Xiao said enviously after sizing up Loo Yaxin for a moment.

"Not young anymore, my daughter is already this big," Loo Yaxin said, pulling Situ Xin to her side and introducing her, "Come on, baby, this is Auntie Zhang Xiao."

"Hello, Auntie Zhang Xiao," Situ Xin said, having obviously offended Han Mengying thoroughly by now. Han Mengying looked at her as if she wished she could kill her then and there. Situ Xin thought that since these were all her mother’s former friends, she couldn’t afford to offend them outright. So, Situ Xin called out politely.

"Oh my, Loo Yaxin, this is your daughter? How can she be so beautiful? My goodness, I’ve never seen such a gorgeous girl before. Come here, let Auntie have a good look at you," Zhang Xiao, who was closer to Han Mengying, said. After Situ Haotian broke up with Han Mengying, she had gone to question Situ Haotian about why he had abandoned Han Mengying, and she had also shown discontent towards Loo Yaxin when Situ Haotian was dating her.
