Chapter 486: Chapter 486 Truly Disfigured (2)_1

"So that’s what happened," Situ Xin said, laughing at the sight of her father’s wronged expression. She turned to her grandparents, "Grandpa, Grandad. You’ve misjudged Dad this time. It’s not like what you’ve heard."

"Oh? Is that so? Then, Baby, tell us. What exactly happened?" Old Master Situ’s demeanor changed rapidly. Facing Situ Xin’s explanation, he lost the sternness he had earlier. As he spoke, he even pulled Situ Xin to sit down, fearing she might be tired from standing.

"Here’s what happened. Dad only found out today that this woman, Li Yipei, has been spreading rumors throughout the office that she has a special relationship with him. Upon hearing this, Dad fired Li Yipei at this morning’s staff meeting. Not willing to accept it, she went to Dad, begging him not to fire her. And I just happened to be looking for Dad about something and ran into them..." Situ Xin recounted the whole incident to everyone. Naturally, she tactfully omitted certain parts, like Li Yipei’s claims of following Situ Haotian without seeking any status, because she knew those words would only make her mother’s face look more unsightly.

After Situ Xin’s explanation, the expressions on the faces of the family members relaxed. Old Madam Situ even said, "I knew Haotian wasn’t that kind of person."

No sooner had Old Madam Situ spoken than Situ Haotian gave her a look that said, ’I remember someone just now consoling Yaxin and badmouthing me.’ Fortunately, Old Madam Situ did not catch Situ Haotian’s look, or else he would have definitely faced a lecture.

"Hmph, even so, your dad is still at fault. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have almost been hit by that woman," Old Master Situ was still stubborn, feeling that Situ Haotian bore responsibility for this incident. Saying this, he cast a disapproving glance at Situ Haotian.

Situ Xin caught the look in Old Master Situ’s eyes. Thinking about how her father had shielded her from Li Yipei’s attack today and had unhesitatingly slapped Li Yipei, she once again spoke up for Situ Haotian, "Grandpa, that’s not fair to say. Dad did nothing wrong; in fact, he helped me a great deal." Then, Situ Xin proceeded to explain the parts of the mission she could disclose to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo.

After hearing Situ Xin’s lengthy explanation, the two old masters finally let go of their lingering anger toward Situ Haotian.

However, the old masters may have calmed down, but the knot in Loo Yaxin’s heart remained. After all, women tend to be suspicious and sensitive, especially since Loo Yaxin had previously felt that her husband, Situ Haotian, had something going on with that woman.

Seeing that her mother still seemed upset, Situ Xin gave her dad a look that said, "You handle this one."

"Baby, have you prepared everything needed for BL Fashion Week?" This was already the fifth time Situ Xin’s aunt, Lu Juan, had come to ask in the past month. Yu Shiyin had come along with her as well.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shiyin and Situ Xin’s aunt Lu Juan had become good friends. Now, aside from creating fashion design sketches at the company, Shiyin spent her spare time helping Lu Juan with some company errands—after all, the company’s other shareholder often washed their hands of the matter.

"Auntie, you’ve asked me so many times already. I’ve told you several times that everything is ready," Situ Xin said, clearly helpless about her aunt’s repeated inquiries and confirmations.

"Baby, don’t be annoyed. I have no choice. After all, you, the designer, haven’t shown us the finished product. If you’d bring out what you’ve made, I wouldn’t keep nagging. By the way, we need to set off the day after tomorrow. Hurry up and show us your finished work," Lu Juan had been particularly stressed lately. Not only did she have to check on the progress of the clothing with Situ Xin, but she also had to find models according to Situ Xin’s specifications.

Lu Juan now felt like a hard worker. Normally, choosing models would be the responsibility of the fashion designer themselves, but now it all fell on her shoulders.

"Alright, to put your mind at ease, I’ll show you a bit first." Situ Xin had been planning to wait until they got to BL before bringing them out, as she wanted to ensure the clothes were in their best condition. She didn’t want to present anything shapeless at that time. She believed that keeping the clothes in her space was the best option.

"Hey, are you serious? You’re willing to show us now?" Lu Juan had come prepared to not leave Situ Xin’s place until she saw the finished clothing. She was resolved to talk Situ Xin into it, even if it meant arguing until her mouth blistered. But to her surprise, before she could even speak, Situ Xin had already agreed.

Even Yu Shiyin thought she was hallucinating when she heard Situ Xin agree. It wasn’t until Situ Xin nodded affirmatively and led them upstairs to her studio that Shiyin realized she hadn’t been hearing things. Indeed, Situ Xin had agreed to show them the finished clothing.

"Here you go, it’s inside. Just go in and have a look," Situ Xin said as they reached the door to her second-floor study. As they walked upstairs, she had already used her mind to take the clothes from the space in her studio and placed them in the study.

Ever since Baibai evolved into a mature tiger, not only did the space undergo a major upgrade, but as his contractor, Situ Xin also reaped certain benefits. Even though she didn’t evolve as Baibai did, she gained the ability to control her space with her mind, taking out whatever she wanted and placing it in a specified location.
