Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Advantages Turn Into Disadvantages (2)_1

Old Master Xiao, on the other hand, had swept away the gloomy mood he had due to the actions of his son and daughter-in-law; the smile on his face hadn’t fallen since they left the hospital and lasted until they got home. The security personnel who served Old Master Xiao were utterly perplexed by this.

They didn’t know what good fortune had befallen the old chief to make him so incessantly joyful.

However, these security personnel were doomed never to receive an answer. It was a critical moment, after all. The actions of his grandson, Xiao Muli, had caused dissatisfaction among Situ Xin’s family members. If any word were to leak from him, Old Master Xiao was certain that it would be significantly harder for his grandson to bring Situ Xin home as his wife.

Situ Xin and Xiao Muli slept soundly until the hospital’s doctor came for the rounds, which was when they both woke up.

No sooner had the doctor arrived for his visit than the three old masters and two old madams also appeared. The other members of the Situ and Loo families had intended to come along, but they had been stopped by the two old masters.

After talking to Gao Yong on the phone, they learned that Situ Xin’s health had fully recovered. There hadn’t been any further fever last night, nor any discomfort following the high temperature. Thus, the two old masters had instructed the other family members who had work to carry on with their jobs as usual.

Indeed, even Situ Xin’s mother, Loo Yaxin, had been sent to work by her father, regardless of how much she pleaded. Old Master Loo had said with a stern face, "You earn the nation’s money, so you must serve the nation. You can’t just skip work and rest every day."

Unable to argue, Loo Yaxin had no choice but to go to her job. Nonetheless, she decided she would head straight to the hospital after work.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Loo, Grandpa Xiao, Grandma, Grandma Loo," Situ Xin greeted the three old masters and two old madams who entered while the doctor was taking her temperature.

"Ah, baby, good child. How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?" Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo quickly took a few steps forward, ahead of the three old masters, and positioned themselves on either side of Situ Xin’s bed. This left Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo with no option but to stand by, looking on helplessly.

"I’m very good, no discomfort anywhere," Situ Xin replied obediently.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Situ, Grandpa Loo, Grandma Situ, Grandma Loo," Xiao Muli also greeted the elderly members of the family who had come in. However, compared to Situ Xin’s reception, what he got was a roll of the eyes and a snort from the two old masters.

Though the two old masters had promised their spouses not to interfere in this matter, they only agreed not to meddle; they never promised to treat Xiao Muli with kindness.

After all, daring to snatch away their treasure and still expecting their favor was downright delusional.

Xiao Muli was well-prepared for the old masters’ reactions, so he simply touched his nose. Just then, the doctor came to check his wound, so he laid down, conveniently avoiding seeing the disapproving looks from the two old masters.

Soon, the doctor had finished examining both Situ Xin and Xiao Muli. Situ Xin knew that both their health was fine. Especially hers, even healthier than the average person. With the medicine powder made from Spirit Grass, Xiao Muli’s wound had mostly healed overnight. There was no more bleeding, and even if he repeated yesterday’s activities, the wound wouldn’t cause any issues today.

But the old masters and old madams didn’t know this. The three old masters seemed calm, or rather, they were conscious of maintaining their dignified image as senior officials and didn’t ask any questions. However, the expressions on their faces and the looks in their eyes betrayed their anxiety.

The two old madams, without the constraints of the three old masters, immediately asked the doctor anxiously after the examination, "Doctor, how are they doing? How well has my granddaughter recovered? How is Muli’s wound healing?"

"They both are recovering very well. With another day or two in the hospital, they can be discharged," thought the doctor, seeing how the girl didn’t look like a patient at all, her health extraordinarily robust. She really didn’t need to stay in the hospital any longer. But the doctor didn’t dare say this aloud, knowing the status of the patients in the room and that he was too insignificant to offend them.

"Good to hear they’re recovering well," "It’s good that everything’s fine," Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo exclaimed with relief after hearing the doctor’s words.

Situ Xin, in fact, had fully recovered when she woke up. Moreover, she was even healthier than before. But she couldn’t defy her family’s concerns and the doctors’ unwillingness to speak up.

Situ Xin was kept in the hospital until Xiao Muli could be discharged, much to her chagrin. However, in contrast to her frustration, Xiao Muli was overjoyed by the opportunity to spend time alone with Situ Xin—publicly and above-board, not sneaking around.

Of course, during these few days, the number of unpleasant glances Xiao Muli received was countless, especially from the two old masters. Whenever they were in the room, they would occasionally glare at Xiao Muli and then send him a warning look, advising him to be sensible and not to play any tricks on their precious granddaughter.

During these days, because there were always family members, such as her grandparents and Xiao’s grandfather around during the day along with doctors and nurses popping in on occasion for checks—it was always the same daily routine—they continued to show up consistently without fail. Besides these medical staff, members of The Dark Division and Dragon Society’s Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, along with Oster, also came to visit her.

Add to that, with the hospital being a place of many people and much scrutiny, Situ Xin didn’t dare to enter her space. However, her curiosity had been agitated ever since Baibai had spoken to her.

Baibai, the not-so-innocent White Tiger, was bored in the space and decided to stir up mischief. "Master, Master, the space has been upgraded," it kept telling Situ Xin.
