Chapter 728: Chapter 719 Almost Done (1)_1

Xiao Muli knew that his grandfather would ask this question, but this time, Xiao Muli didn’t find his grandfather’s question unnecessary; instead, it was him who really wanted to share the joy in his heart with others, "It’s almost settled." Sometimes, this state of mind is indeed a decisive factor.

"Haha, that’s more like it. If you can’t even handle such a small matter, I would start doubting if you’re really my grandson. Haha, lad, when are you going to marry Xiao Xin for me?" Old Master Xiao, upon hearing that Xiao Muli had almost settled the matter, automatically translated ’almost’ to ’settled’. A smile was plastered all over Old Master Xiao’s face on the other end of the phone.

The words of Old Master Xiao caused Xiao Muli’s forehead to be covered with lines of frustration. He thought, if he had really messed things up today, would he no longer be his grandfather’s grandson? Of course, this was something Xiao Muli would never say out loud. "Alright, Grandpa, it’s getting late. You know the outcome now, so go wash up and sleep."

"Okay, I won’t chat with you anymore; I’m off to sleep." Having received the answer he wanted, Old Master Xiao no longer lingered on the phone with Xiao Muli. As soon as Old Master Xiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone himself.

Hearing the "beep beep" sound from the other end of the phone, Xiao Muli helplessly put his cell phone back into his pocket, went back to the bedroom, and joined Situ Xin to sleep.

That night, many people suffered from insomnia - the entire Gu Family, the four Masters of the Xiao Family. However, Situ Xin and Xiao Muli held each other and slept soundly throughout the night.

Xiao Muli had to admit that after he started sleeping with Situ Xin, the quality of his sleep improved significantly compared to when he slept alone. In the past, he might sleep for only a few hours and then would stay awake all night long.

So when Xiao Muli woke up in the morning, the first thought that came to his mind was that he needed to speed up the process of marrying Situ Xin, so he wouldn’t have to worry about sleepless nights anymore.

However, that thought didn’t last long in Xiao Muli’s mind, as the Butler’s voice from outside brought his thoughts back to reality. "Family Head, are you awake? There’s been a bit of trouble outside."

The Butler’s words woke Situ Xin, who had still been in dreamland: "What’s wrong? What happened?" Situ Xin, just waking up, spoke with a hint of coquettishness in her voice that she wasn’t even aware of, a voice that nearly melted Xiao Muli’s bones.

If there wasn’t a matter awaiting him outside, he certainly wouldn’t miss out on the precious moments of the morning. Moreover, men are particularly sensitive in the morning, and sure enough, Situ Xin’s slightly coquettish voice was causing a reaction in him. Truly, she was a sweet torment.

"It’s nothing serious, it’s the Butler looking for me, just a small matter within the Xiao Family. You go back to sleep, I’ll be back shortly." Xiao Muli consciously released his grip around Situ Xin’s waist. He needed to leave her side quickly, otherwise he wasn’t sure if he could maintain his self-control any longer.

Situ Xin, watching Xiao Muli get dressed in a hurry and leave the bedroom, felt puzzled as to why he seemed like someone was chasing him. However, Situ Xin didn’t dwell on it for long, as she cast the thought aside and went back to bed to continue sleeping.

Xiao Muli hurried out of the bedroom only to see the usually calm and composed Butler pacing back and forth with a look of urgency. The Xiao Family Butler looked up and saw his Family Head, calming his anxious heart immediately.

"Uncle Zhong, what’s the matter that has got you so worried?" Xiao Muli knew that for such an old Butler to act so rashly, there had to be a significant issue. Otherwise, how could Xiao Muli leave Situ Xin alone and get up first?

"Family Head, there really is a big problem. Young Master Gu and Miss Gu are outside clamoring to apologize to you and asking for your mercy. Because of last night’s incident, I didn’t let them in, but they kept clamoring outside, attracting the nearby people. Just then, Grandpa Xiao, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle and their families came to the Mansion and ran into this scene. Taking matters into their own hands, they invited Young Master Gu and Miss Gu into the Xiao Family Mansion. I had no choice but to come and fetch you urgently." Uncle Zhong had spent his entire life in the Xiao Family, growing up alongside Old Master Xiao. His relationship with Old Master Xiao was exceptionally close. And ever since Xiao Muli became the Family Head, Uncle Zhong had been assigned to manage the Xiao Family Old Mansion. Xiao Muli entrusted all matters of the Old Mansion to Uncle Zhong, a level of trust and power that made many people envious. However, no matter how much Xiao Muli valued Uncle Zhong, in the eyes of Grandpa Xiao and Second Uncle, he was still a servant, with no right to oppose them.

Knowing this, Uncle Zhong rushed to find Xiao Muli. He was worried that Xiao Muli might not be aware that the Gu Family could get involved with the Xiao Family’s scheming side branches.

"Oh? Is that so? These old fellows are getting more and more presumptuous. I haven’t even settled the score with them yet, and they’re the ones coming to me. And this sibling pair from the Gu Family, what on earth are they thinking? I haven’t had the time to look for them, and they’ve come to me. That’s convenient, let’s use this opportunity to deal with them all at once." Xiao Muli completely trusted Uncle Zhong, so he didn’t hesitate to speak his mind in his presence. "By the way, Uncle Zhong, go call my assistant over and have him bring all his documents over to me." The evidence wasn’t only with Situ Xin; Xiao Muli had a copy too, although it wasn’t as detailed as hers.

"Okay." Uncle Zhong accepted the order and left, while Xiao Muli approached the living room alone. As soon as he sat down at the entrance of the living room, he heard Second Elder Master Xiao’s voice from inside: "You siblings shouldn’t worry, just wait for Xiao Muli to come, then earnestly beg for his mercy. It’s not such a big deal; he can’t possibly go through with it."

"Thank you, Second Elder Master Xiao," Gu Yong said gratefully.
