Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Change of Heir (2)_1

Old Madam Situ knew very little about the situation. When her eldest son’s wife called her, she was too anxious and emotional to explain things clearly. So now, Old Madam Situ only had a general idea of what had happened, and she would have to go home and ask her husband to find out the specifics.

"Oh. Understood," Situ Xin verbally acknowledged her grandmother Old Madam Situ’s words, but her mind was already churning with guesses about what could have happened to Situ Che that made her grandmother’s complexion change so suddenly.

However, after racking her brain for a long time, Situ Xin couldn’t think of any possibilities beyond the denied possibility that Situ Che was injured. She had no choice but to wait until she could ask her grandfather after returning home to learn the truth of the matter.

The plan for Situ Xin and the others to return to the country was very sudden; no one outside their immediate family knew about it.

This took the domestic journalists who had caught some rumors and wanted to wait for Situ Xin, the genius designer, to come back for an interview at the airport, by surprise, leaving them empty-handed.

When they got off the plane, they saw Situ Haotian, who had been waiting at the airport, ready to pick them up.

Normally, the task of picking up Situ Xin would never fall to Situ Haotian, as the two old masters at home would be vying to do it. But this time, because of the incident at home, Old Master Situ was busy dealing with it for the past few days and didn’t have the time to come to the airport.

And Situ Haotian, who hadn’t seen his wife and daughter for such a long time, missed them terribly.

When Situ Xin got off the plane and saw Situ Haotian standing by a military vehicle, she was delighted. She ran towards her father Situ Haotian, leaving everyone else behind, and called out, "Daddy."

"Hey, my girl, I’ve missed you so much," Situ Haotian said, catching his daughter as she ran into his arms, his smile particularly blissful.

"I’ve missed you too, Daddy," Situ Xin said, now completely behaving like a little girl who hadn’t grown up.

After Situ Xin and her father Situ Haotian had their sweet moment, the rest of the group arrived. Since there was an incident in the Situ family, there was no time for pleasantries; they quickly loaded their luggage and got into the car to head straight home.

The atmosphere at the Situ home today was a bit different than usual. It was more somber than ever before.

"I’m back." Situ Xin’s arrival broke the depressing atmosphere.

"Baby is back! Come here, over to your grandpa. Let me see, have you lost weight?" Old Master Situ, who had been stern-faced, smiled upon seeing Situ Xin.

Situ Xin walked over and sat down next to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, "I haven’t lost weight. I ate a lot of delicious food in BL, I think I’ve even gained weight," whined Situ Xin to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo.

"Where have you gained weight? Baby, you look just right," Old Master Loo promptly reassured Situ Xin, who complained about feeling fat.

With Situ Xin present, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who had not smiled for several days, found their smiles again. This alleviated the worries of Old Madam Situ, who was already concerned about Old Master Situ’s condition.

Concerned for her Brother Che, Situ Xin, seeing that the mood was good, glanced at Situ Che, whose expression had changed upon her arrival, and then asked, "Grandpa, Grandfather, what exactly happened? Can you tell me?"

In the Situ and Loo families, although Situ Xin was still young, the families regarded her as a grown-up when it came to serious matters, besides pampering her as a child in everyday life.

So, after exchanging glances, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo began to slowly relate the entire story.

The incident began some time ago when Situ Che returned from leave. Knowing that Situ Che was on leave, the son of his uncle’s family invited Situ Che to hang out. Initially, Situ Che wasn’t eager to go since he didn’t share much in common with Liu Chengtian, his cousin who was only a year older than him.

Furthermore, Situ Che was quite disapproving of Liu Chengtian’s behavior and attitude. However, after Situ Che turned him down, Liu Chengtian called Situ Che’s mother, Liu Qian, to complain that Situ Che looked down on their Liu Family and wouldn’t even meet his cousin for a catch-up.

Liu Qian was displeased with Situ Che’s behavior after hearing her nephew’s complaints. She went directly to Situ Che and made him agree to accept Liu Chengtian’s invitation to meet. Out of respect for his mother, Situ Che reluctantly agreed to go.

Situ Che agreed to meet because of his mother Liu Qian’s wishes, and that’s where the trouble started. Liu Chengtian arranged for them to meet at "Broadway," and by the time Situ Che arrived, in addition to Liu Chengtian and his sister Liu Xinyu, there were also three members of the Shan Family: Shan Dongling, Shan Qiuling, and Shan Feiyu present in the box.

The Shan Family were relatives of Liu Chengtian’s mother, so when Situ Che walked into the room and saw these three people, he frowned slightly.

Liu Chengtian warmly greeted Situ Che on his arrival. However, the others lit up when they saw Situ Che, making him feel like prey under their gaze.

Had the people in the box not been his cousins, Situ Che would have been on guard feeling watched, but considering their identity, he didn’t pay much mind.

Then, using various excuses, Liu Chengtian kept toasting Situ Che, and it was clear that he had come prepared; all the reasons he gave were ones Situ Che could not refuse. Drink after drink, Situ Che gradually felt his head grow heavier and realized something was off. He tried to decline Liu Chengtian’s toasts, yet despite his efforts,

Situ Che was still made drunk by Liu Chengtian and then knew nothing more. When he awoke, he found a woman lying beside him. And that woman was Shan Qiuling, the youngest daughter of the Shan Family.
