The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter
Chapter 681: The Blind Date is Underway (3)_1

Situ Che felt a sense of dread when he heard Loo Jie’s reply to Situ Xin, thinking to himself that Loo Jie had fallen right into their beloved sister’s trap. Although it wasn’t fair to say that Loo Jie had fallen for Situ Xin’s trap—rather, Loo Jie was just too useless. Situ Xin hadn’t even started probing, or to put it in another way, she was just warming up, and Loo Jie had already walked right into it.

"Good for nothing but trouble," Situ Che said under his breath, looking at Loo Jie with exasperation.

Loo Jie felt wronged by Situ Che’s words, touching his nose. He gave Situ Che a look full of reproach, wondering what he had done to earn such a disapproving title.

Situ Che caught Loo Jie’s look of complaint and felt the urge to roll his eyes. He didn’t want to bother with Loo Jie, but he was afraid that Loo Jie might blabber even more nonsense, so he had to speak up and remind him, "You talk too much."

Loo Jie wasn’t stupid. When Situ Che pointed that out, he immediately realized his mistake. He quickly pursed his lips, ready to play the mute from now on and keep his mouth shut.

Since they had entered, Huang Xia and Liu Qian had never stopped smiling; anyone could tell they were in high spirits, as if about to burst with happiness.

How could they not be happy? Their sons, who were well past due for marriage, had finally chosen someone they liked. Maybe it wouldn’t be long before they had daughters-in-law. And once there were daughters-in-law, could granddaughters be far behind?

Yes, granddaughters, not grandsons. Liu Qian, Huang Xia, and Lu Juan were all very envious of Loo Yaxin for having a soft, sweet daughter. At their age, having another daughter was impossible. But that didn’t stop them from wishing for the next best thing—a granddaughter.

At this moment, Huang Xia and Liu Qian seemed to have already seen the soft, sweet granddaughter, cooing and cuddling up to them, and obviously, they pictured her in the spitting image of Situ Xin.

Huang Xia and Liu Qian didn’t intend to speak up initially, but seeing that their sons didn’t volunteer any answers, they had to step forward and respond for them.

"Ah Che fancies a girl named Dai Jiaoqian, who is a doctor. Ah Jie fancies a girl named Cai Yuqing, who is a clerk in the government," Huang Xia said, giving a rough answer.

Loo Jie’s face showed a dismissive look when he heard his mother talk about whom he and Situ Che had set their sights on. What were these, real choices? They were just forced into a corner with no way out. Today, if they hadn’t made a selection, their mothers would have persisted relentlessly, so they had consulted briefly and chose a girl they found passable among the many they had met.

"Oh, really? These professions aren’t bad at all, one a doctor, the other a government clerk. What do these two ladies look like then? Hurry up and show us their pictures," Old Madam Situ said upon hearing the names. She had no recollection of them, which surely meant these girls weren’t from families they knew. However, the two families didn’t have many constraints in such matters. As long as the character was good and the children liked each other, and the couple got along, that was enough.

Nonetheless, Old Madam Situ and the others were curious about the two girls who had caught the eyes of Situ Che and Loo Jie. Even if the boys had chosen them as a last resort, these were the ones they were most satisfied with from the many matchmaking encounters. Just for this reason, Situ Xin and the rest were very eager to have a look for themselves.

"Here, these are the girls," Liu Qian said, pulling out two photos from her bag and handing them over to her mother-in-law and Old Madam Loo.

The two Old Madams couldn’t wait to take the photos. As they grabbed the pictures, everyone else craned their necks and turned their eyes toward the two photos, curious about the appearances of the girls Loo Jie and Situ Che were interested in.

Situ Xin got a clear view of the people in the photos as her grandmother and great-grandmother took them.

Well, how to put it? Dai Jiaoqian and Cai Yuqing weren’t the beautiful type, just sort of attractive. At least, these two photos wouldn’t stand out in a pile of them. Looking at the girls’ appearances in the photos, Situ Xin couldn’t see what had attracted the two fastidious brothers in her family.

Before Situ Xin could voice her question, Old Master Situ preempted, "Hey, you two youngsters, what did you see in these girls? I don’t see anything special?" Anyway, Old Master Situ thought the girls chosen by Situ Che and Loo Jie were nowhere near as good as their Baby. Oh, not just nowhere near, but incomparable.

Their looks were worlds apart, and as for wits, needless to say, they couldn’t match up to their Baby. Old Master Situ looked at Situ Xin and made mental comparisons, finding himself increasingly displeased the more he compared. His precious granddaughter had been whisked away by that brat of the Xiao Family without him having any clue.

What angered him even more was that he had intended to teach Xiao Muli a lesson once the boy was out of the hospital. But yesterday, when Old Master Xiao came to visit, he asked offhandedly, "Haven’t seen Muli around lately, has he gone back to school?"

Old Master Xiao told him that Xiao Muli was away on business and would not return for a few days. Hence, he had no one to vent his pent-up frustrations to and had to keep it all inside.

Seeing the displeased look on her father-in-law’s face, Liu Qian’s heart skipped a beat, wondering if he was dissatisfied with the choice her son Situ Che had made. She looked worriedly at her own son, wondering how he should respond.
