Chapter 571: Chapter 571 Nothing Happened (1)_1

If it weren’t for the fact that she was standing far away from the entrance of the Situ Family’s house, flanked by her mother and her aunt, she would have wanted to flee the moment the television screen showed her and Situ Che sleeping together.

Because she knew that after her family watched the surveillance footage, her fate would be dire. It was something she couldn’t accept. However, she couldn’t stop the surveillance from playing now, nor could she run away directly.

At that moment, Shan Qiuling felt an overwhelming sense of despair.

Situ Xin saw the look of despair on Shan Qiuling’s face, but she didn’t feel a shred of sympathy for her. Instead, she let out a cold snort, indicating it was Shan Qiuling’s own fault for trying to pin her mistakes on her brother, Situ Che.

Since Shan Qiuling had harbored such malicious thoughts, she was the only one who had to accept the consequences in the end.

The television footage concluded with Situ Che getting up in the morning, making a phone call to confront Liu Chengtian, and then leaving the room.

"Old Master Shan, I believe you should now have a clear understanding of the entire incident. My grandson, Situ Che, has had nothing to do with your granddaughter, Shan Qiuling. Furthermore, the child in Shan Qiuling’s womb is not from our Situ Family. So now, I ask you to immediately take your Shan Family and leave our Situ house. The Situ Family does not welcome you Shan folks," Old Master Situ’s anger was surging, but his spoken words were devoid of his usual explosive temper, only louder in tone.

However, those who knew Old Master Situ recognized that when he was genuinely angered, he lacked his usual thunderous outburst.

After watching the surveillance video, Old Master Shan could no longer claim any attachment to the Situ Family. Dejected, he had to take Shan Qiuling, Shan Xue, and Ning Xiaoyu and leave the Situ house. But just as they were about to exit the Situ Family’s residence—

They heard the cold voice of Situ Xin from behind, "Our Situ Family has never been one to be bullied without consequence. Anyone who provokes our Situ Family will have to pay back double. Of course, sometimes, if they particularly displease me, the retribution will be more than just double. So, Old Master Shan, your Shan Family better be careful in the coming days. Of course, I will not forget the Liu Family either. Shan Xue, please take a message back to your father-in-law, Old Master Liu. Just say that Situ Xin told him to be careful,"

Upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, Old Master Shan, Shan Xue, and Ning Xiaoyu faltered in their footsteps and then hurried out of the Situ house.

After the Shan Family left, the atmosphere in the Situ house lightened considerably.

"That settles it, the truth has finally come to light. Ah Che is finally out of trouble," Old Madam Situ finally showed the first smile she had in days.

"Indeed, if it weren’t for Baby, we wouldn’t have stood a chance against their accusations today. We might have had to compromise for Ah Che’s future," Liu Qian, Situ Che’s mother, said with a sigh.

Situ Xin, upon seeing her aunt, remembered that it wasn’t just the Shan Family involved in this matter, but also the Liu Family. And this Liu Family was her aunt Liu Qian’s birth family. Situ Xin thought to herself whether her aunt might object to her taking actions against the Liu Family. But there was no way Situ Xin was willing to let the Liu Family off the hook because of her aunt. She genuinely recognized Liu Qian as her aunt and didn’t want to cause any future ill feelings among them. She spoke up directly, "Aunt, you must have heard what I said to the Shan Family in the end, right?"

"Yes, I heard it all," Liu Qian was not foolish; she understood the implications of what Situ Xin had mentioned right away. "Baby, I know what you mean. Do whatever you need to do without worrying about me. What my father and brother did to my son, Ah Che, truly broke my heart. After all, Ah Che is their grandson, their nephew. How could they plot against him like this?" As she spoke, Liu Qian’s voice choked up, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Situ Xin, seeing her aunt in distress, couldn’t bear it and moved closer to comfort her. However, Situ Xin lacked the talent for consoling others and, opening her mouth, found herself unable to speak a single comforting word.

Instead, it was Liu Qian who was touched by Situ Xin’s gesture of comfort, pulling her into an embrace. Through tears, she said, "What my father and the rest did truly hurt me deeply. I have always behaved appropriately towards them. Why did they have to do this to me, to my son? This time, if it weren’t for Baby, Ah Che might have been ruined," Liu Qian continued, recalling the intimidating presence of the Shan Family, the harsh words of her sister-in-law, and the thought of what would have happened to her son, Situ Che, had the surveillance footage not been revealed at the critical moment. Liu Qian knew that regardless of the outcome, her son’s life would have been destroyed.

Crying inconsolably, Liu Qian overwhelmed Old Madam Situ and Loo Yaxin, who couldn’t help but quietly wipe away their own tears. Situ Che, seeing his mother so heartbroken, felt an unbearable pang in his heart but could not bring himself to comfort her as Situ Xin did, having been cold and reserved since childhood.

After crying for a while, Liu Qian felt slightly better. Yet, she continued to cling to Situ Xin and said, "So Baby, no matter what you choose to do, your aunt will have no objections. Just make sure the Liu Family doesn’t disappear from Capital City. After all, it’s the home I grew up in."

"Alright." Even if Liu Qian hadn’t made that request, Situ Xin wouldn’t have allowed the Liu Family to disappear from Capital City. After all, the Liu Family was her aunt’s birth family, the family of her Brother Che’s maternal grandfather.

"Baby, thank you," Liu Qian hadn’t expected Situ Xin to agree so quickly, knowing full well the ruthlessness of Situ Xin when dealing with those who crossed her.

With the dark clouds that had loomed over the Situ Family for the past few days now dissipated, the household reverted to its previous joyous and harmonious atmosphere. Situ Xin even declared that to celebrate Brother Che’s escape from the ordeal, she would cook dinner herself that evening.
