Chapter 615: Chapter 615 Peeking at Their Treasure (2)_1

Xiao Muli received a warning glance from Old Master Xiao, and he had managed to adjust his mood by now. "Grandpa, I’m waiting for Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo."

"Why are you waiting for those two old men?" Old Master Xiao frowned upon hearing Xiao Muli’s words.

"Jin and the others just came by, and they happened to see Xiao Xin with me. So, I told Jin about my feelings for Xiao Xin. As soon as he heard it, he jumped up and said he was going to tell Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo. So here I am, waiting for Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo."

As soon as Old Master Xiao heard that his grandson was prepared to break his silence, he was immediately excited. Any displeasure he had felt due to Xiao Muli’s earlier attitude evaporated instantly. He immediately put on a smile, "What? You’re saying Jin already knows? Then that means Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo must know too. Hehe, now both of them are really going to leap up."

Old Master Xiao couldn’t help but be overjoyed at the thought of the expressions on the faces of Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo when they heard the news.

"Jin said he was going back to tell Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo. That’s why I’m waiting here for Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo, but they haven’t shown up yet." Xiao Muli had never before so keenly hoped for these two old masters to appear.

Because once these two old masters arrived, his status as Situ Xin’s boyfriend could finally emerge from the shadows into the light of day.

"Shall I give Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo a call to feel them out?" Old Master Xiao was even more excited than Xiao Muli, the person directly involved. He couldn’t wait to see the priceless expressions on those two old men’s faces.

"Let’s not do that, Grandpa. If you call Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo now, that would be adding fuel to the fire. If they already disapprove of me dating Situ Xin, your call might make them oppose it even more." Xiao Muli didn’t want his grandfather’s action to make his path to marriage even more difficult.

Old Master Xiao gave it some thought and realized what his grandson said made sense. If it were only Xiao Muli involved, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo might not react too harshly—they might only give Xiao Muli a hard time. But if he joined in, those two might become enraged.

"Alright, I won’t meddle. But, I’ll stay here with you and wait for Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo," said Old Master Xiao as he found a place to sit down, waiting for the arrival of Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo.

However, despite waiting until Old Master Xiao could wait no more and left, neither Old Master Situ nor Old Master Loo showed up. During this period, had it not been for Xiao Muli’s firm refusal, Old Master Xiao would have called Old Master Situ several times.

The events within Xiao Muli’s ward were unknown to Situ Xin. Had she known, she would have surely laughed heartily.

As for the matter between Xiao Muli and Situ Xin, it safely passed without Situ Jin completing his revelation. However, this wasn’t exactly good news for Xiao Muli.

Especially for Xiao Muli, who was eagerly awaiting to transition from an underground relationship to an official one, it was particularly bad news.

Time elapsed as Xiao Muli’s condition gradually improved; he had begun to get out of bed and walk a little. However, these outings were brief. Nevertheless, for Xiao Muli, this was certainly a joyous development.

Xiao Muli’s wounds appeared to be healing slowly, but in the eyes of the doctors, his recovery was astonishingly fast.

Yet this rate of healing was with Situ Xin deliberately diluting the medicine. Had Situ Xin not done so, Xiao Muli’s wounds might have been healed by now.

During this time, the military hospital was in a state of unrest. After Situ Xin had visited Gao Yong, he took swift action.

Starting with the nurse provided by Situ Xin, an investigation was launched and, although not expected, many issues were uncovered.

Thereafter, the hospital began a reform, especially among the nursing staff.

The nurse who had previously attempted to seduce Xiao Muli to land a wealthy husband was among the first to be fired. Along with her, the person who had helped her secure the hospital position also received a certain degree of punishment.

These developments were made known to Situ Xin when Gao Yong called to report the situation. Though Situ Xin didn’t pay much attention, she was very satisfied with the way Gao Yong handled the matter and the results he provided.

Gao Yong’s reputation in Situ Xin’s heart had unknowingly improved a notch.

In the meantime, besides dealing with Qin Jiamao’s affairs, Situ Xin also had to address the matters from the BL Fashion Week. They had returned in such a hurry last time that many issues had been left unresolved.

After resolving Situ Che’s issues, Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin flew to BL, and they didn’t return until the second day after Xiao Muli was injured.

Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin’s trip to BL was to manage the auction of Situ Xin’s show clothes. Except for the main showpiece that Situ Xin had previously requested to keep, the rest were auctioned off by Lu Juan. The money raised wasn’t a small amount—it even exceeded the prices fetched by some famous designers’ show clothes.

When Lu Juan shared this with Situ Xin, her face was filled with pride. However, following these proud achievements came endless troubles. Many who failed to acquire the show clothes began pulling connections, reaching out to Lu Juan and Yu Shiyin for custom-made dresses.

As soon as Lu Juan returned to the country, without even taking a break, she ran straight to the Situ Family home to find Situ Xin. When Lu Juan arrived, it was just past six in the morning, and she promptly dragged Situ Xin out of bed.

Lu Juan’s excitement was palpable. She didn’t care what Situ Xin looked like; her spirits were incredibly high. She could already envision their "Xin" fashion company shining brightly on the world stage.
