Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Unaware of the True Person (2)_1

After Xiao Muli warned me about Brown Lya, he turned his head and immediately adopted a different expression; the sharp look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a face now less tense, eyes brimming with tenderness and affection. "Xiao Xin, don’t get me wrong, I really don’t know her at all."

Xiao Muli wanted to say more, but his words were cut off by Situ Xin’s smile-laced reply. "Brother Muli, I trust you. I’ve known you for so many years and I’m familiar with your character. A woman like her, even if she throws herself at you, you would never spare her a glance." Situ Xin said this in the language of Country Y. It was deliberate; she intended for Brown Lya to hear it.

Although, Situ Xin knew that she and this Brown, Lya, had no connection whatsoever. However, the thought of another woman eyeing her man irritated her. Unconsciously, Situ Xin had already counted Xiao Muli among her most treasured possessions.

After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Xiao Muli’s heart, which had been in suspense, finally settled down. "Xiao Xin, I’m glad you understand."

"Excuse me, who are you? Why are you standing so close to Muli?" It was only when Situ Xin started talking to Xiao Muli that Brown Lya finally noticed Situ Xin standing beside Xiao Muli, her arm linked with his. When Brown Lya saw how intimate and gentle Xiao Muli was with Situ Xin, she instantly became enraged. Pointing her finger at Situ Xin, she demanded to know who she was. At that moment, Brown Lya lost all the demeanor of a well-mannered lady usually seen at parties, instead resembling a shrew, surprising everyone familiar with her.

Xiao Muli was displeased by Brown Lya’s attitude towards Situ Xin. He took to heart the hostile manner that both Brown Kress and Brown Lya, the father and daughter, had shown towards Situ Xin. Xiao Muli wanted to speak up and stand up for Situ Xin, to reprimand Brown Kress, but Situ Xin was not willing.

This matter was essentially a war between Situ Xin and Brown Lya, the admirer of Xiao Muli. She didn’t want Xiao Muli to come to her aid and cause her to lose momentum. Besides, to Situ Xin, the young miss of the Brown family meant nothing to her.

"Miss Brown, please mind the manners befitting ladies from prominent families. I have a name and am not to be addressed with a ’hey.’ Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Situ Xin. As for why I am standing next to Muli, it’s because I’m Muli’s girlfriend. How about that, Miss Brown? Are you satisfied with my answer?" Situ Xin was not in the least bit annoyed; instead, she replied with a faint smile, slightly lifting her head, looking down at Brown Lya with arrogance.

And Situ Xin’s attitude astonished everyone present. Initially, when Situ Xin stepped out of the car, everyone was taken aback by her stunning appearance, but they had only thought this beautiful girl was nothing more than the current Family Head of the Xiao family, Xiao Muli’s, companion. They didn’t consider Situ Xin in the light of a lady from a prominent family.

Previously, Situ Xin deliberately downplayed her presence, consciously suppressing her own aura and bearing. But at that moment, she merely released the air of quality that surrounded her.

Just the aura released by Situ Xin alone was enough to make one feel that this unbelievably beautiful girl was not of ordinary status. Such a queenly demeanor could not be found in children from ordinary families. However, people were mistaken about Situ Xin; even if she had been born into a commoner’s family in this life, her royal aura would not have changed, for that is the unique presence of a strong person.

With Situ Xin radiating such a queenly presence, everyone present put away their contempt for her and began to reassess her identity. Brown Kress, who had been deliberately standing aside watching his own daughter, Brown Lya, compete against Situ Xin, had previously been angered by Situ Xin due to Xiao Muli. However, he lacked the courage to confront Xiao Muli on the spot.

Although he was the current head of the Brown Family, a family with a status comparable to the Xiao Family, and they were in BL, the Brown Family’s territory, the Brown Family was different from the Xiao Family. As the current Family Head of the Brown Family, there were many waiting for his downfall. Some would even occasionally employ schemes, hoping for him to make a mistake and step down. Therefore, he knew that he could not offend Xiao Muli, the Family Head of the Xiao Family. If he did and lost the cooperation with the Xiao Family, his position as the head of the Brown Family would come to an end.

Thus, when he saw his daughter Brown Lya confronting Situ Xin, Brown Kress felt a surge of delight. He believed that his daughter’s abilities were more than enough to deal with this insignificant female companion. Furthermore, he was convinced in his heart that Xiao Muli would not do anything to his daughter. At worst, if things got out of hand, he would simply step in and apologize on behalf of his daughter.

Brown Kress had completely failed to realize the importance of Situ Xin to Xiao Muli, still regarding her as merely one of Xiao Muli’s female companions—just one who was currently more favored.

However, when Situ Xin unleashed her powerful aura, Brown Kress’s expression changed. Like the onlookers who were enjoying the show, he too believed that a girl with such a demeanor could not be raised by an ordinary family. He had a premonition that this girl was not someone he or even the Brown Family could afford to provoke. After this realization, he wanted to stop his daughter from further targeting Situ Xin.

But by the time he wanted to intervene, it was already too late; his daughter had already fully unleashed her words.

From a young age, Brown Lya, due to her status as the young lady of the Brown Family, was always indulged wherever she went—whether in school or elsewhere. Whatever she desired, others would either willingly give it to her or go to great lengths to present it before her.

Moreover, with her beauty, Brown Lya was considered one of the most attractive in the high society of BL. Every time she appeared, she would be surrounded by people courting her favor, with no shortage of admirers. Thus, she always saw herself as a proud existence. Over time, even the way Brown Lya walked exuded pride; she would carry her head slightly high, never looking down or making eye contact with others. She was accustomed to looking down on people.
