Chapter 485: Chapter 485 Truly Disfigured (1)_1

"Leader, don’t worry, the whole Dark Division will help you keep an eye on Mei," Yafu said with a smile as she looked at Mei and winked at her.

"Yeah, that puts my mind at ease," Situ Xin said, turning to Mei, "By the way, Mei, I’ve brought you something. Later you and Xiang Yang take those things back with you."

"Thank you, Leader." Both Xiang Yang and Mei knew what Situ Xin was going to give them. Ever since Mei got pregnant, every now and then, Situ Xin would send her a pile of food, all fruits and vegetables. At first, Mei and Xiang Yang were quite puzzled why their leader would send them fruits and vegetables, which were plentiful outside. There was no need for the leader to specifically give these to them.

However, after they ate them, they found that the fruits and vegetables provided by their leader Situ Xin were simply not on the same level as those sold outside, not only in taste. After eating them for a while, they felt that their bodies were much better than before.

"Leader, you’re playing favorites. How come we don’t get any?" Xing joked with Situ Xin.

"I am playing favorites, so what? However, Xing, if you find a partner and get married, I will surely play favorites with you too. At that time, I’ll send you all the good food and drink," Situ Xin said and then added, "Oh, right, and you’ll need to have a little baby."

"Leader." Xing’s face unexpectedly turned red at the mention of his other half, prompting a round of laughter from everyone.

However, Situ Xin had a sense of propriety in her actions. Besides giving Xiang Yang and Mei fruits and vegetables, she also gave some to other members of the Dark Division, as well as some fruit wine she brewed herself.

The reason why Situ Xin was being so generous this time was because the fruits and vegetables in the space now were better in taste and had more Spiritual Energy than before. There we go, with something better available, Situ Xin became somewhat dismissive of the previous stock. To avoid mingling the current produce with the old, she thought of getting rid of the previous fruits and vegetables as soon as possible to make room for the new harvest.

After Situ Xin mentioned the key points to be aware of for this task to Xiang Yang, Situ Muli, and the others, she picked up Baibai and took a ride back home.

She had to leave at that time; if she returned home too late, her skipping afternoon classes today would definitely be exposed at home. It wasn’t that she was afraid of her family scolding her for skipping classes. She was more worried that the two old masters at home, upon learning this, would start nagging at her ears.

Her grandfather and maternal grandfather seemed, I don’t know if it was because of their old age, particularly naggy recently. They would grab anyone they could and talk their ear off for a while. Just like the last time, there was a small friction between her dad, Situ Haotian, and her mom, Loo Yaxin.

Once Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo learned of it, her parents were summoned by the two old masters and thoroughly lectured. At the time, Situ Xin just happened to pass by and witness the scene, which made her unintentionally start rubbing her ears.

As Situ Xin walked into the house carrying Baibai, she saw Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo sitting in the living room with stern faces, and her father, Situ Haotian, looking pitiful as if he had just been scolded, while Loo Yaxin, obviously furious, glared at Situ Haotian.

Situ Xin’s heart began to wail, "It’s over, something’s happened."

Just as Situ Xin finished wailing inwardly, her grandfather, Old Master Situ, looked up at her and said solemnly, "Baby, you’re back. Come and sit down."

Loo Yaxin and Old Madam Situ saw Situ Xin approaching and quickly grabbed her, anxiously checking her up and down, all the while asking, "How are you, are you hurt anywhere?"

The actions of her mother and grandmother left Situ Xin a bit confused as she wondered what was going on. While she was pondering the situation in her mind, she glanced at her father, Situ Haotian. Unfortunately, he had just been lectured by Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo and was reflecting with his head down, not even noticing the eye signals his darling daughter was making to him.

Seeing that her father didn’t catch the signals she was sending him, Situ Xin had to withdraw her gaze and reassure her concerned mother and grandmother, "Mom, Grandma, I’m fine, but can you tell me what happened?"

"Hmph. It’s all because of your good-for-nothing father. Your grandfather and I were rarely in the mood to stroll around the courtyard, and just as we went out, we heard several old masters there talking about your father’s office affairs. They said he and his assistant were too close for comfort. Furthermore, they said that today you went to your father’s office and happened to encounter that woman fawning over your father, which made you angry, so you had her father sent to the anti-corruption bureau. Now you’ve even sent their whole family to the anti-corruption bureau," the more Old Master Situ spoke, the angrier he became.

Old Master Loo glanced at Situ Haotian and continued, "We also heard that that woman had the audacity to hit you and Baibai, because you got hit, stretched out his paw and gave that woman a scratch."

The more Situ Xin listened, the more surprised she became and her mouth dropped open wider. She could never have imagined that the story would spread like this, and so quickly at that. The version she had asked Xiang Yang and others to spread wasn’t like this at all, and she wondered who had spread such a distorted version.

"Eh, didn’t my dad explain to you guys?" asked Situ Xin, looking at her father, Situ Haotian, who was absorbed in lowering his head and didn’t retort a bit.

"It’s not that I didn’t want to explain, but your grandfather and maternal grandfather didn’t give me a chance to explain at all. When I came back, they cursed me up and down. I was about to speak up to explain, but they said they wouldn’t allow me to talk back. I had no choice but to take the scolding," said Situ Haotian to his daughter, appearing wronged. As he spoke, he glanced at his wife, Loo Yaxin, and seeing her displeased expression, Situ Haotian inwardly wailed, sensing that his days of sleeping in the study were fast approaching.
