Chapter 733: Chapter 722 Analysis (2)_2

He knew he had really stirred up trouble this time, but it was too late to do anything about it. He wanted to say something to make amends, but Old Master Situ didn’t give him the chance; he was promptly kicked out of the Situ family’s front door.

Using Old Master Situ’s words, "Our family does not welcome people from the Xiao family." There, he had really angered Old Master Situ to the point that such words were said.

This Xiao Family elder, who had made a mistake, remained conflicted after returning home, debating whether he should call his grandson Xiao Muli to confess. But every time he picked up the phone, he hesitated and put it down again, unable to decide whether to make the call to Xiao Muli.

While Old Master Xiao was hesitating, Xiao Muli called him. On the phone, Xiao Muli didn’t mention the trouble he had caused. Instead, he asked his grandfather to go to the Situ family home in half an hour—he and Situ Xin would arrive at the Situ residence in half an hour.

Even though Xiao Muli did not specify the reason for his urgency to return, Old Master Xiao had no doubts—it had to be because of this situation. He readily agreed, then sat on the sofa, staring unwaveringly at the clock on the wall, counting down the time.

As soon as Situ Xin and Xiao Muli’s car stopped at the entrance of the Situ family, Old Master Xiao, accompanied by a security officer, also happened to arrive at the entrance.

Seeing Situ Xin stepping down from the car, Old Master Xiao quickly walked a few steps, reached Situ Xin, and taking her hand, said, "Xiao Xin, your Grandpa Xiao was at fault for this incident. Getting overexcited, I went ahead and boasted about it to your grandpa and maternal grandfather without any consideration." Old Master Xiao hastily took all the blame, fearing Situ Xin would blame Xiao Muli for the incident. But, truth be told, the entire situation was indeed Old Master Xiao’s responsibility.

"It’s alright, Grandpa Xiao, don’t blame yourself for this. It was my oversight; I forgot to inform my grandpa and the others," said Situ Xin, how could she blame this man who watched her grow up and loved her like his own granddaughter. "Grandpa Xiao, I don’t blame Brother Muli either. However, I have no idea what my grandpa and the others might be thinking."

"Hehe, as long as you’re not upset, Xiao Xin, let’s leave it to Brother Muli to handle things with your grandpa and the others," Old Master Xiao said, turning to Xiao Muli with a cheerful smile, "To take someone’s treasure, you’ve got to pay a price." As long as his precious granddaughter-in-law wasn’t upset, everything else was up to Xiao Muli to deal with. The old man thought to himself that he wouldn’t interfere, but could he, Old Master Xiao, really stand aside when it’s his own grandson?

Xiao Muli knew this all too well, but he also knew that ultimately, he had to handle the situation himself.

"Baby, let’s go in. Let’s not keep your grandpa and the others waiting too long."

Situ Xin and Xiao Muli had been walking behind Old Master Xiao, but when they reached the doorstep, Old Master Xiao asked them to go in first. If he entered with Situ Xin and Xiao Muli, it might completely infuriate the two old masters of the house.

Situ Xin and Xiao Muli understood Old Master Xiao’s reason for doing this, so without questioning, they bypassed him and walked into the house.

As she entered the house, Situ Xin was taken aback by the sight of almost all her family members present. She hadn’t expected them all to be there. Xiao Muli, on the other hand, had anticipated that it would be an all-hands-on-deck situation.

This was actually good; now that her family members were nearly all present, it was the perfect opportunity to declare what needed to be said and address what needed to be dealt with. He had to face whatever was waiting for him; no matter what, he was determined to marry Situ Xin and take her home.

"Why is everyone here?" Situ Xin, seeing everyone looking sternly at them, tried to lighten the atmosphere with her opening remark.

But obviously, Situ Xin’s attempt was futile; the men in the family were all glaring at Xiao Muli as if they couldn’t wait to go up and give him a good thrashing. Among them, Situ Haotian, Situ Xin’s father, was the one who found Xiao Muli the most unpleasant.

"Baby, come over to daddy," Situ Haotian said to his precious daughter, unable to hide his fondness. After all, in his eyes, his daughter was completely blameless in this affair; it was that scoundrel, Xiao Muli, who had caused all the trouble.

After hearing her father’s words, Situ Xin hesitated, glancing at Xiao Muli. It didn’t seem right to leave him to face this alone. However, if she didn’t go over, her father would only grow even more displeased with Xiao Muli.

As Situ Xin hesitated, unsure of what to do, Xiao Muli nodded slightly at her, signaling her to listen to her father; he’d be fine on his own.

It wasn’t that Xiao Muli wanted to gain Situ Xin’s sympathy or anything; he genuinely believed that if Situ Xin stood with him, it would only attract more hostility. It might be better for him to face her family alone, perhaps even earning the support and sympathy of the female elders.

Xiao Muli had quite a clear understanding, and he knew the Situ family well. If Situ Xin didn’t listen to her father, Situ Haotian, and chose to stand resolutely with Xiao Muli, her family wouldn’t bear to blame her. Instead, they would turn all their grievances towards Xiao Muli.

On the other hand, the situation would be entirely different.
