Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Everyone Has a Little Secret (2)_1

"Old Yu, your way of thinking is just wrong. In my family, Haotian and Haoran both have joined the Flying Tiger Team before, and now, Ah Che is in the Flying Tiger Team. Next, Jin will also sign up for the selection of the Flying Tiger Team. Aren’t the grandsons of our Situ Family the same, all joining the Flying Tiger Team? Old Yu, you have to let go a little," Old Master Situ said persuasively.

However, no matter how much Old Master Situ tried to persuade him, Old Master Yu’s opinion hadn’t wavered at all. He didn’t argue with Old Master Situ but turned to look at Situ Xin. "Xiao Xin, you must help Grandpa Yu, persuade your Brother Qihao."

"Hey, Old Yu, I’m saying, how can you be so obstinate? I’ve said so much, and you haven’t taken in a single word, have you? Alright, consider it as if I never spoke," Old Master Situ said, looking at Old Master Yu’s stubborn manner, truly at his wits’ end. "I can’t deal with this, Old Yu. My Baby really can’t help with this matter."

Before Situ Xin even had a chance to speak, Old Master Situ himself had already refused for her in front of Old Master Yu.

"Xiao Xin can definitely help with this matter. As long as Xiao Xin speaks up, Qihao will definitely agree," Old Master Yu said anxiously.

"How can you say that? My Baby does have a good relationship with Qihao. But even so, for such a big matter, how could Qihao listen to Baby?" Old Master Loo said with a furrowed brow. Not only Old Master Loo, but Old Master Xiao also looked at Old Master Yu with displeasure.

Unlike Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo was completely unaware, but Old Master Xiao had long known that this lad from the Yu Family harbored the same thoughts towards Situ Xin as his grandson. And coincidentally, his grandson, Xiao Muli, had a grandfather like him fully backing him in pursuing Situ Xin, whereas Yu Qihao was not so lucky, having run into a grandfather like this.

Therefore, Old Master Xiao was anything but pleased with Old Master Yu putting on such a thick skin to seek Situ Xin’s help, and moreover, evidently planning to lay his cards on the table today with Situ Xin, Old Master Situ, and Old Master Loo.

However, Old Master Xiao’s mood improved instantly upon second thought. What did it matter if Old Yu came to lay his cards on the table? Given how much Old Situ and Old Loo valued Situ Xin, Old Yu wouldn’t gain any advantage.

Perhaps, this situation could turn into a very good opportunity.

Out of everyone’s sight, Old Master Xiao’s eyes shifted, his heart secretly delighted. Old Master Xiao thought cheerfully to himself that if this really worked out, he’d have to think about how his grandson should thank him.

While Old Master Xiao was plotting his own ideas, Old Master Yu was becoming frantic. "The matter has come this far; I might as well be honest with you all. Qihao, this kid, he has had Xiao Xin in his heart for a long time. He has made up his mind about Xiao Xin. Originally, Qihao was planning to come clean with Xiao Xin after her university graduation, but, alas, it is also my fault. Before, for the sake of the Yu Family, I had asked Qihao to plead with Xiao Xin. You all know Xiao Xin’s temperament; once Qihao came to plead, there was no possibility left between the two of them. Qihao knew this, so after that incident, he went back to school and hasn’t come home since. Then the issue of applying for the Flying Tiger Team arose. So, I thought, if Xiao Xin stepped in to persuade Qihao, he would definitely listen," Old Master Yu said, looking at Situ Xin hopefully.

But Situ Xin wasn’t watching Old Master Yu’s hopeful gaze. She was still absorbing what he had just revealed, that Yu Qihao had feelings for her. Her strong reaction to Old Master Yu’s words wasn’t because she now had any particular feelings for Yu Qihao. If she hadn’t agreed to consider a relationship with Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao had confessed to her, she might have hesitated or seriously contemplated what choice to make.

After all, at that time, Yu Qihao and Xiao Muli held equal places in her heart. But once she had agreed to see how things went with Xiao Muli, the balance in her heart shifted.

Beyond surprise, Situ Xin just felt curious as to what Yu Qihao saw in her and why she, who was usually sensitive to everything, hadn’t noticed Xiao Muli and Yu Qihao’s feelings toward her.

"Old Yu, what are you saying? I didn’t hear you wrong, did I? Your Yu Qihao is after my Baby?" Old Master Situ, upon hearing of Yu Qihao’s intentions toward his beloved granddaughter, was unable to remain seated.

"You heard right; that Yu lad is indeed after my Baby," said Old Master Loo, who normally had a good temperament but now he too was unable to stay put when someone coveted his treasure. His face grew stern.

The attention of these two elders was now fixed on the issue of Yu Qihao setting his sights on Situ Xin, completely forgetting what Old Master Yu had come to Situ Xin for.

"What a piece of work, this Yu Qihao. He must have eaten the heart of a panther, daring to covet my Baby. Humph, it’s best he doesn’t let me see him because if I do, I’ll beat him every time I see him," Situ Xin was certain that if Yu Qihao were standing in front of her grandfather right now, he would have started with a beating without a second word.

Old Master Xiao, looking at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who were furious upon hearing Old Master Yu’s words, inwardly sighed that Old Yu really did not understand these two. If it were him, he certainly wouldn’t have revealed the matter so directly.

However, Old Master Xiao was watching with the mindset of enjoying the drama, with not the slightest intention of stepping forward to offer a word of calm. He was actually hoping for the three of them to make a huge fuss over it.

"Old Situ, Old Loo, why such a big reaction? Xiao Xin is grown up; dating and marrying are perfectly normal matters. Even if it’s not my Qihao who’s after your Xiao Xin, there will be others. In my opinion, seeing such a reaction from you now when someone likes Xiao Xin, how will you cope when Xiao Xin actually starts dating?" Old Master Loo, having no granddaughters, simply could not empathize with Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo’s current feelings.

Not only was he unable to comprehend, but he also thought that in the end, a granddaughter will eventually marry and belong to another family. And unhelpfully, Old Master Yu had to add, "Besides, how long can you keep Xiao Xin to yourselves? Even if you keep her longer, Xiao Xin will eventually belong to someone else."
