Chapter 638: Chapter 638 Pretending to be Pitiful (2)_1
Old Master Situ listened to Gao Yong’s words, glanced at him, and said, "Alright, you hurry up and get out of here. Don’t dangle in front of my eyes anymore. Otherwise, I’m really afraid I won’t be able to restrain myself from finding your grandfather and having a good... talk..."
Before Old Master Situ could finish his sentence, Gao Yong, upon hearing that Old Master Situ intended to speak with his grandfather, couldn’t care about anything else, quickly said, "I’m leaving right now, I’m leaving right now." He turned around and ran out of Situ Xin’s hospital room as fast as smoke.
After growing up, Gao Yong had never moved so quickly or nimbly. So after running out, he caught his breath and thought to himself, a person’s abilities truly are limitless.
Looking at the extra hospital bed that had appeared in the room, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo found it unpleasant no matter how they looked at it. If it weren’t for the fact that each of their wives were there, watching with open eyes, and their precious granddaughter (on the maternal side) was sitting beside them, the two old men would have gone and moved the unsightly bed out themselves early on.
Situ Xin saw through the thoughts of these two old masters. She found it amusing; her grandfather and maternal grandfather were so old yet acted like small children, bickering with each other. It really seemed the older one gets, the more childlike they become.
Yet she also felt worried. She was concerned that her grandfather and maternal grandfather might truly make themselves sick over this matter. If that happened, she would feel terrible.
Even though her family had undergone the cleansing of spiritual energy during her advancement, which greatly improved their physical condition and reduced their fatigue, the dark circles under their eyes still indicated that they had not rested well the previous night.
"Grandfather, maternal grandfather, grandmothers, father, mother, and everyone else, you’ve been exerting yourselves for the baby for so long; you must be exhausted. Hurry up and go back to rest well," Situ Xin wasn’t thinking of anything else. She just saw the dark shadows under their eyes and knew they must be tired. She felt distressed for them and wanted them to go back and rest properly. However, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo completely misinterpreted the meaning behind Situ Xin’s words, during this sensitive time.
Unwilling to let go of their precious granddaughter, their gazes were perpetually fixed on Xiao Muli, who was sitting beside Situ Xin’s hospital bed. If their glaring eyes were real knives, Xiao Muli would already be covered in a thousand cuts.
"Baby, are you trying to drive your grandfather away? But grandfather can’t bear to leave you," Old Master Situ put on a pitiful look of being abandoned.
"Yes, Baby, your grandfather and I are not tired. We won’t go back to rest. We’ll stay here with you," Old Master Loo was thinking ahead more than Old Master Situ. If they all left, the hospital room would only be left with their precious granddaughter and Xiao Muli, that bad boy.
At that time, if Xiao Muli took advantage of the situation to bully their baby, and they weren’t there, wouldn’t their baby be bullied? At this moment, the normally shrewd old men’s intelligence seemed to have regressed to their childhood. Even before Situ Xin’s advancement, not to mention after, Xiao Muli was no match for her.
All of this, they had known before, but now, they seemed to have completely forgotten.
Situ Xin felt a little amused and helpless at the words of these two old masters. She wasn’t trying to send them away. She saw that they were tired and felt sorry for them, wanting them to go back to rest.
As Situ Xin looked at her grandfather and maternal grandfather in front of her putting on a pitiful act, pondering how to respond. Her grandmother and maternal grandmother stepped forward, coming to stand beside their husbands, almost ready to speak assertively. Both old madams said in unison, "If you keep fussing over the baby and cause trouble here, wait till we get home and I will take care of you. Now, leave immediately."
Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, upon being scolded by their wives in such a manner, immediately calmed down, not daring to act pitifully in front of Situ Xin anymore. They both stole glances at their spouses now and then, mumbling something under their breath.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t mumble there. What? Do you have an objection to what I just said?" Situ Xin never expected that her grandmother and maternal grandmother could also show such a fierce side.
Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo gave their husbands such stern looks that the two old masters were completely silenced, quickly shaking their heads to indicate that they had no objections, not at all.
"Good, as long as there are no objections. Then let’s go back, so the baby can rest well," Old Madam Loo saw that her words had the desired effect on the old masters, so she shed the fierce expression and returned to her former gentle, cultured, and dignified manner.
"The baby just got over her fever. If we all leave, who’s going to take care of her?" Old Master Loo tried to make a last-ditch effort, partly because he didn’t want Xiao Muli to succeed, but more so because he was genuinely worried that if Situ Xin needed anything in the middle of the night and no one was around, she would be aggrieved.
"Old Lu, you don’t need to worry about that. Gao Yong will be here. Later, just tell him to run a few trips here at night, personally check on Xiao Xin’s condition and see if she needs anything," Old Master Xiao saw that Old Master Loo’s words had caused the two key old madams to show hesitation, and he inwardly cursed. However, Old Master Xiao was quick to react and immediately came up with a solution.
Hearing Old Master Loo’s concern, Old Madam Loo and Old Madam Situ, who were seriously considering the matter, brightened up upon hearing Old Master Xiao’s suggestion. Old Madam Situ was the first to speak up, "I like Old Xiao’s proposal. With the Gao Family’s young man around, I feel reassured."
"I feel the same way. Just find the Gao Family lad later and instruct him, and that’s it," Old Madam Loo glanced at Old Master Loo, whose face still had lingering smiles, and thought to herself that when it was just the two old spouses at night, she needed to have a serious talk with him. She couldn’t let him mess up her favored future grandson-in-law.
Old Madam Situ also shared the same thought as Old Madam Loo.
