Chapter 643: Chapter 643 Advantages Become Disadvantages (1)_1

"You old fool, isn’t this causing trouble? Muli has grown up under our watch; don’t you know his temperament? Would he deceive Baby? Even if someone else might deceive Baby, Muli wouldn’t. Muli isn’t stern-faced; he just has fewer expressions. Haven’t you once praised him for that, saying he’s steady and has presence? Moreover, when Muli is with Baby, he’s not like that at all."

"I don’t remember saying any of that. However, based on what you just said, it’s clear that Xiao Family’s kid is two-faced." Old Master Situ was adamant; Xiao Muli wasn’t worthy of his Baby.

Old Madam Situ was so angry at Old Master Situ’s words that she could only point at him, speechless: "You."

"Wife, don’t be angry. I’m serious, Baby is still so young now, I want to keep her at home for a few more years, I really can’t bear to let Baby leave home." Old Master Situ softened his tone.

"I didn’t say to marry Baby off right now either. I also want to keep Baby at home for a few more years, but even if we can’t bear to let her go, Baby will eventually have to marry someone. Rather than scrambling to find candidates later, it’s better to find a good match for Baby now." This woman had her own schemes as a woman.

"It doesn’t necessarily have to be that Xiao kid, though." Having heard what Old Madam Situ said, Old Master Situ felt it made some sense deep down, but whenever he thought about how Xiao Family’s kid dared to secretly covet their Baby, his heart hardened again.

"But Muli is suitable. Think about it, Muli’s home is close to ours, located in the same courtyard. Even after Baby gets married, we could see her every day. Muli’s household is also simple. Just his grandfather, his father, and his mother." Before Old Madam Situ finished speaking, Old Master Situ interrupted.

"Eh, wait a moment. This proximity you mention does make sense. Xiao Family may have a small household, but Muli’s parents are tough nuts to crack, especially his mother. She had arranged a fiancée for Mu Li herself, and though they broke it off later, she definitely won’t look kindly upon our Baby. Wife, just because of this, I will never agree; I don’t want Baby to suffer from her mother-in-law’s harassment in the future. In that case, I’d rather bring in a son-in-law for Baby." Having said this, Old Master Situ suddenly felt pleased, "This is a good idea; this way, there won’t be any mother-in-law troubles."

"What’s good about that? Do you think bringing in a son-in-law will turn out well? I’m not being prejudiced, but what are the chances a man willing to marry into another family will be promising? Even if he is promising, his family members might not be easy to deal with. True, Baby won’t have mother-daughter-in-law issues at her own home, but she’ll have to visit her in-laws eventually. What then? Moreover, think about it. Given our family’s and the Loo Family’s current standing and social status, we must be selective about our in-laws; we can’t pick someone who’ll drag us down. Otherwise, both our families could suffer because of them." Old Madam Situ looked at her husband, who was triggered by anything regarding their precious daughter, and while analyzing the situation for him, she helplessly shook her head.

"Your analysis is right. But Muli’s family situation doesn’t fit either," convinced by Old Madam Situ’s analysis, Old Master Situ had a moment of realization.

"Don’t rush, let me explain slowly. Muli’s parents are unreliable, especially his mother. If Muli’s parents were living in the same courtyard as well, I would definitely not agree. Mother-daughter-in-law issues have always been difficult to manage, but Muli’s family is unique. His parents are both assigned to work far from the Capital City and seldom spend time here, practically never crossing paths with Baby. What’s more important is my observation from Muli’s injury this time; Old Xiao and Muli seem truly disappointed with Muli’s parents. Their son suffered such serious injuries, yet they neither rushed back at the time nor showed up at the hospital afterward. Considering Old Xiao’s actions over the past few years, I suspect that he’s really disappointed in his son and daughter-in-law, and he may not plan to transfer them back to the Capital City but rather post them even further away."

Listening to Old Madam Situ’s words, Old Master Situ sank into his thoughts. He carefully considered her points and had to admit, at least for now, Xiao Muli truly seemed like the most suitable candidate.

While Old Master Situ and Old Madam Situ were heatedly discussing Situ Xin and Xiao Muli’s matter, at the Loo Family, Old Master Loo and Old Madam Loo were also engaging in a spirited discussion about the same issue.

Old Master Loo was more meticulous than Old Master Situ and contemplated more deeply. In the hospital, though he stirred the pot like Old Master Situ and didn’t give Xiao Muli a break, his mind had already considered all angles.

And now, Old Madam Loo spoke to Old Master Loo, "Old man, we shouldn’t interfere with Baby and Muli’s affair; let the young people develop their relationship naturally."

"Okay, no need to beat around the bush. By letting nature take its course, you just mean you think Muli is a good match for our Baby." Old Master Loo immediately pinpointed Old Madam Loo’s intended meaning.

Now that it was out in the open, Old Madam Loo didn’t hold back any longer. "Right, we do think Muli is a good match. He’s quite fitting for our Baby."

"Humph," Old Master Loo huffed, unwilling to admit it in his heart, but the fact was Xiao Muli was a decent kid, stable and not like those second-generation officials leading reckless lives. However, the thought of Xiao Muli keeping such a deep secret and fooling all these old foxes bothered him, making him think they couldn’t let Xiao Muli off so easily. But what he said was, "Fine, I understand this matter. I won’t act to disrupt it, but Muli will need to prove his capabilities."

"As long as you don’t meddle, that’s fine," Old Madam Loo waited for Old Master Loo’s words.

Unbeknownst to Situ Xin, her family took the matter of her and Xiao Muli so seriously.
