Chapter 499: Chapter 499 Family Head (2)_1

"Oh, just talking about this gives me a headache. Although we’ve found a few venues and are waiting for Baby to arrive to take a look and decide which one to choose, I’m not very satisfied with any of their locations. You see, we started our search early, but it’s hard for us because we don’t know the area well. All the good spots nearby have already been rented out by other designers," lamented Lu Juan, furrowing her brows. She had lost several nights of sleep over this venue issue.

Situ Xin was taken aback upon hearing her aunt Lu Juan’s words, "Auntie, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?" If she had known, she might have been able to pull some strings to solve the problem.

"You were preparing for your college entrance exams at the time. How could I bother you with such things during such a critical moment?" chided Lu Juan, glancing at Situ Xin reproachfully.

"Aunt Lu, our Xiao Family has some properties in BL. Coincidentally, there’s an empty space right where the fashion week is taking place. My subordinates tell me it’s quite a nice spot to hold a SHOW. Why don’t you go check it out with Xiao Xin and see if it works for you? If it does, you won’t have to keep looking, and you can just make do with it," Xiao Muli said, his remark making his knowledgeable assistant twitch.

The venue the Xiao Family owned, which he referred to as ’making do,’ was in fact located right next to the fashion week pavilion—a preferred site for fashion design maestros to hold their fashion SHOWs.

Upon learning that Situ Xin was planning to host her personal fashion SHOW in BL, Xiao Muli had given orders to the executive team at the BL Subsidiary to keep that space vacant during the fashion week, saying he’d need it.

His assistant, who had overheard Xiao Muli’s phone call, along with the executives of the BL Subsidiary on the other end of the line, were puzzled but didn’t dare to voice their questions, knowing the new Family Head’s methods. The executive at the BL Subsidiary complied obediently, keeping the venue available as Xiao Muli had instructed.

As a result, the BL Subsidiary’s executives had turned down several calls from fashion companies that had previously collaborated with them, all wanting to rent that space.

It was only today that Xiao Muli’s assistant finally understood why his boss had insisted on keeping the venue open—it was all for the woman he loved.

"Really? Muli, could you tell Auntie where exactly the Xiao Family’s venue is located?" Lu Juan asked, excited to sit down and have a detailed conversation.

However, upon hearing Xiao Muli’s words, Situ Xin didn’t show much excitement; instead, she turned to look at Xiao Muli. Although she didn’t know the exact location of the Xiao Family’s venue, she understood Xiao Muli’s intention and knew he was doing this entirely for her. Her heart swelled with gratitude.

"Auntie, the Xiao Family’s venue is located at..." Xiao Muli caught Situ Xin’s grateful glance and felt the words bloom in his heart. He suppressed the smile tugging at his lips, ready to explain the exact location to Lu Juan.

Before Xiao Muli could finish, however, the airplane had already landed successfully. Passengers were disembarking orderly, carrying their personal belongings. Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo, having had enough of waiting, were already fetching their items, getting ready to disembark. "Xiao Juan, Muli, what are you dawdling for? Come on, grab your things; we need to get off the plane. Whatever you need to discuss can wait until we’re off," urged the Old Madams, eager both to escape the long flight and to see the foreign landscapes.

"Auntie, Brother Muli, let’s get off the plane first. The venue issue isn’t urgent; we can talk about it after everyone settles into the hotel. Besides, I think it’s necessary to see the venue in person to make a decision," suggested Situ Xin, not convinced that being close to BL’s fashion week meant it was a good location.

"Baby is right, look at me—I got so anxious I forgot everything else," Lu Juan realized she had been too hasty. "Let’s get off the plane first," she said, promptly returning to her seat to grab her purse and joining the flow of passengers disembarking.

Xiao Muli, quite naturally, picked up Situ Xin’s carry-on luggage and took her hand, trailing behind the group. Having been led by Xiao Muli’s hand throughout the journey, Situ Xin was accustomed to it and offered no resistance, following him off the plane without struggle.

At the airport exit, many people were waiting, some even holding signs.

Among the multitude of signs, there was one with the character "Xin" and another with Xiao Muli’s name. A glance was enough to reveal that the former was there to pick up Situ Xin’s party—a representative from "Xin" Clothing Company’s BL Subsidiary. The latter was obviously for Xiao Muli.

Situ Xin and their group were conspicuous: firstly, their black hair stood out, and secondly, the few leading the group had an extraordinary presence, especially the youngest girl and the man walking beside her with a stern face. They drew many backward glances from people at the airport.

Those looks cast on Situ Xin darkened Xiao Muli’s face. He didn’t like that others were seeing her beauty, something meant only for him. Since Situ Xin had agreed to be his girlfriend, Xiao Muli’s possessiveness had intensified subconsciously.

On the other hand, Situ Xin, who remained unaffected by the gazes and continued to talk normally with her grandmother and grandmother-in-law about whether they should call the men back home to check in, showed no sign of noticing them.
