Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Xiao Family Again (1)_1

Haotian Situ watched the interactions between Loo Yaxin and Situ Xin, feeling a twinge of sourness in his heart. He couldn’t help but speak up, "I say, Yaxin, baby, don’t you see this living person right here? You two are thanking each other so much, how come no one is thanking me?"

"Thank you for what? It’s already enough that I haven’t settled accounts with you. If it weren’t for you, would I have been smeared to this extent by Han Mengying? If it weren’t for baby, I wouldn’t even know what Han Mengying would have done to me today. And you have the nerve to expect my thanks." The moment Haotian Situ spoke, it reminded Loo Yaxin of past events, making her want to grab his ears and give him a good scolding.

"Yaxin, I had no idea about this. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have let you suffer for so many years," said Haotian Situ as the mention of Han Mengying stirred a hint of apology towards his wife, Loo Yaxin. "Sigh, wife, this is all in the past now, let’s not bring it up again." Each time it was brought up, it made his life difficult.

"Mom, I think Dad’s right. This has passed, let’s not talk about it anymore," Situ Xin also rarely spoke out in support of her dad.

"Right, right, wife, let’s not mention this matter in the future," Haotian Situ echoed.

No sooner had Haotian Situ finished speaking than he was met with a roll of the eyes from Loo Yaxin. Then she turned to Situ Xin and said, "Alright. Mom will listen to baby, we won’t talk about it anymore." In fact, the knot in Loo Yaxin’s heart had already been untied. Even if the matter were brought up again or Han Mengying came for her, she wouldn’t harbor any different feelings in her heart.

Seeing his wife Loo Yaxin agree, Haotian Situ’s face lit up with joy, knowing that he wouldn’t have to go through nights without being able to hold his wife anymore.

Watching the joy on her dad’s face, Situ Xin couldn’t help but cheekily say, "Dad, don’t be too happy just yet, when we get back, I have something to tell you."

"Ah, what’s the matter?" Haotian Situ, upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, felt an ominous premonition brewing. He asked Situ Xin, but she refused to speak.

"You’re back, how was the gathering today?" As soon as Situ Xin and the others entered, Old Madam Situ’s eyes scoured over Loo Yaxin and Haotian Situ like searchlights, observing for any abnormalities.

The argument a few days ago between Loo Yaxin and Haotian Situ hadn’t really been a fight, and Old Madam Situ had seen everything. But as it was a matter between the couple, the older generation felt it wasn’t their place to intervene, so they had pretended to be unaware, just watching from the sidelines.

"The gathering was not bad," Loo Yaxin said with a smile, putting down her bag.

"That’s good, that’s good," seeing the smile on her daughter-in-law’s face, Old Madam Situ’s worried heart finally settled down. It seemed the couple’s problem had been resolved. However, when Old Madam Situ turned to her youngest son, the sight of his tense face made her heart sink. Perhaps the young couple hadn’t resolved their issues after all.

Just as Old Madam Situ was about to ask, Haotian Situ preempted her: "Mom, baby and I have something to discuss. We’re going upstairs."

With that, he signaled Situ Xin to follow him. Old Madam Situ watched her son and granddaughter ascend the stairs one after another. The words she was about to say were swallowed back down. She turned to Loo Yaxin, "Yaxin, what’s going on with Haotian and baby? Did baby do something to upset Haotian?"

"No, baby said she has something to tell Haotian. As for what it is, no matter how I asked, baby wouldn’t tell me." Loo Yaxin was just as curious.

"Oh, as long as it’s not baby upsetting Haotian, then it’s fine."

In the study room.

After entering the study, the smile on Situ Xin’s face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression. However, this serious look did not detract from Situ Xin’s beauty in the slightest, instead giving her an aura of an ice queen.

Haotian Situ, looking at his precious daughter’s face, felt the ominous feeling grow stronger. Once seated, he couldn’t wait to ask, "Baby, what is it?"

"On the way back, I received a call from Dragon Society. The matter I asked them to investigate has results," Situ Xin said, holding Baibai. Although Baibai had successfully evolved into a full tiger, due to absorbing too much Spiritual Energy previously, it hadn’t been able to digest it all at once, so Baibai was sleeping off the excess Spiritual Energy lately.

Haotian Situ kept quiet and looked straight at Situ Xin, waiting for her to continue.

"You should remember what Mom said the other day about seeing you chatting happily with another woman when she went to your office to go home together. You said that woman was your new assistant," Situ Xin’s gaze didn’t meet her father Haotian Situ’s; it shifted elsewhere.

"I remember, and I also recall you were very angry at the time, saying you would get to the bottom of it. So you have now?" Haotian Situ, knowing it was about this matter, felt relieved. After all, he had done nothing wrong.

"I have. Hmph, the one who arranged for that assistant really played a clever game. That woman, who does she think she is, daring to covet what doesn’t belong to her?" When Situ Xin first heard the investigation results from Xia Yujie, she truly wanted to take a gun and end the individual who arranged everything behind the scenes and that presumptuous woman. However, after calming down, she decided otherwise.

"Is there a problem with my assistant?" Haotian Situ wasn’t foolish and from what Situ Xin said, he inferred that the woman definitely had issues.

"There is a problem. Your assistant, named Li Yipei, is 27 years old. Her entry into your company and role as your assistant are backed by the Xiao Family." Situ Xin’s memory was excellent; she had remembered everything after Xia Yujie mentioned it once.

"The Xiao Family again," Haotian Situ gritted his teeth. Ever since he found out that Xiao Yanlei and Liu Yuhan of the Xiao Family had plans against his daughter Situ Xin, if he didn’t need to keep the bigger picture in mind, he would have eradicated the Xiao Family long ago.
