Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Everyone Has a Little Secret (3)_1

As soon as Old Master Yu opened his mouth, Old Master Xiao’s heart went "thud," and he had a bad feeling. It was clear that Old Master Yu had stepped on these two old guys’ landmine. Now, just as Old Master Xiao had this bad premonition, the faces of Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo darkened. Their scowls were so deep they were nearly on par with the legendary Bao Gong.

"Nonsense, my Baby is still young, not even at the age to talk about love. Discussing these matters now is way too early. Moreover, in the future, when my Baby is of age to marry, I plan to find her a son-in-law who will join our family. By then, Baby will still be our treasure," Old Master Situ said, and his words were met with a nod of approval from Old Master Loo.

As a matter of fact, the two old masters had had a good discussion about Situ Xin’s marriage. In the end, they agreed on finding a husband for Situ Xin in the future.

However, as soon as Old Master Situ finished speaking, Situ Xin and Old Master Xiao began to sweat bullets.

Situ Xin hadn’t expected that her grandpa and maternal grandpa would actually entertain the idea of seeking a son-in-law for her. It’s such a different era now, yet these two old masters were still harboring such thoughts. However, Situ Xin wisely chose not to discuss this matter with her grandpa and maternal grandpa.

She knew that if she were to bring up this topic with her grandpa and maternal grandpa, she would be met with their long-winded lectures.

As for Old Master Xiao, his mind was already troubled by the thought of whether to agree or disagree if Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo were truly determined to find a son-in-law. He was getting worked up over a situation that wasn’t even final yet.

Old Master Yu realized that if he continued to dwell on this matter with Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, his reason for visiting the Situ Family today to seek Situ Xin’s help would definitely be for naught. "My visit today isn’t to discuss Xiao Xin’s lifelong matters with you. I came to ask Xiao Xin for help."

"No help will be given; this isn’t something my Baby will be involved in," Old Master Situ immediately rejected the notion without a second thought.

But Old Master Yu didn’t even glance at Old Master Situ; he looked straight into Situ Xin’s eyes, waiting for her response.

Situ Xin sighed and said, "Grandpa Yu, it’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s that I truly can’t be of much assistance." Hearing Situ Xin say she couldn’t help, Old Master Yu became anxious and was about to speak.

But Situ Xin stopped him. "Grandpa Yu, please don’t rush, listen to me. You should be aware of Brother Qihao’s character; he’s not someone who acts rashly. He thinks things through thoroughly before taking action. So, him signing up for the Flying Tiger Team definitely has his own reasons behind it."

No matter what Old Master Yu said, Situ Xin didn’t give in. She had her own principles. No matter the reason Yu Qihao had for enlisting in the Flying Tiger Team, it was his own decision, and she had no right to interfere.

In the end, Old Master Yu, unable to obtain Situ Xin’s help, left with a sigh.

Old Master Situ watched Old Master Yu’s resigned figure with a sigh and shook his head, saying, "Ah, Old Yu has changed too much in recent years; I can hardly recognize him anymore."

"Indeed, back when we went to battle together, we were those who could trust each other with our lives. But now, everything has changed," Old Master Xiao reminisced about their younger days, unable to hold back his emotions.

"The allure of power and rank is blinding," Old Master Loo thought about the past compared to the present, and couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

With their mood low, the old masters were each lost in their own thoughts of the past and the present.

However, Situ Xin could see clearly that in this world, no one remains unchanged forever, especially under the temptations of power and money, and Old Master Yu was the perfect example.

Situ Xin didn’t want to see her grandpa and maternal grandpa brought down by such matters, so she sought to change the subject to divert the old masters’ attention. Ever since Old Master Yu had come over to talk about Yu Qihao’s fondness for her, an idea had been brewing in her mind.

After a brief pause, Situ Xin said, "Grandpa, maternal grandpa, there’s something I need to tell you."

"Hmm? Baby, what is it?" Old Master Loo was the first to snap back to reality and looked up at Situ Xin, asking.

"Baby, whatever it is, you just say it. Oh, is there someone at school bullying you? Tell grandpa, and I’ll go sort them out," Old Master Situ reacted instinctively to the possibility of Situ Xin being bullied upon hearing her mention she had something to say.

Old Master Situ’s words made Situ Xin’s forehead sprout imaginary black lines. She really wanted to ask her grandpa, did she look like someone who could be bullied? And with her capabilities, who could bully her? Regardless of what Situ Xin thought internally, she wouldn’t voice those thoughts; she knew it was her grandpa’s way of showing concern, fearing she might be bullied. "Grandpa, no one’s bullying me; my classmates and teachers are all very nice to me."

Nobody in Situ Xin’s class dared to bully her—not to mention, some girls who liked to pick on her ended up leaving school recently. Although no one knew the exact details, anyone with eyes could guess it had something to do with Situ Xin. And now, with rumors spread about Situ Xin’s concealed yet powerful background, who would dare to pick on her?

In truth, there were indeed some who lacked such insight, but those few oddballs didn’t even register on Situ Xin’s radar.

"Good to hear no one’s bullying you. Baby, if anyone does bully you, you must tell grandpa, and I’ll back you up," Old Master Situ persisted.

"Situ, Baby already said no one’s bullying her. I think we should just listen to what Baby has to tell us," Old Master Loo also cared for Situ Xin but was more rational than Old Master Situ. Upon hearing no one was harassing Situ Xin, his worry dissipated, and he became interested in what Situ Xin wanted to discuss.

"Right, right, Baby, you were about to tell us something, go ahead and speak," Old Master Situ reminded by Old Master Loo, looked at Situ Xin with anticipation.
