The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 240 Xiao Family News (2)_1

"Yes, greetings to both grandfathers," Xiao Muli, although usually not much of a talker, would never skimp on proper etiquette.

"Muli is back. Ah, seeing Muli reminds me of what I came here for this afternoon," Elder Master Xiao greeted Xiao Muli and then slapped his forehead, turning to Old Master Xiao.

"Big Brother, what is it?" Old Master Xiao asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Oh, it’s about the reports from the family tutors on Muli’s learning progress at the Xiao Family these past few days." Elder Master Xiao paused and then looked at Xiao Muli with a smile, saying, "Brother, are you sure you didn’t hire tutors for Muli at home?"

"Teach him what?" Old Master Xiao asked, puzzled, while looking at Elder Master Xiao.

Elder Master Xiao, under Old Master Xiao’s gaze, remembered that Old Master Xiao, not wanting the hassle, had never studied the curriculum intended for the Xiao Family heir and was completely unaware of what was expected for the heir to learn. He laughed and said, "Ah, look at me, completely flustered by Muli, to the point where my mind isn’t clear."

Xiao Muli, seeing Elder Master Xiao and his grandfather deep in conversation and not paying attention to him, quietly went to his room alone.

Elder Master Xiao then shared with Old Master Xiao about Muli’s learning progress at the Xiao Family’s residence. He spoke of Muli’s incredible talent and intelligence, which made Old Master Xiao, listening on the side, beam with pride until his eyes squinted into fine lines.

Once inside the room, Xiao Muli lay on his bed and stared at the ceiling, but his thoughts had already drifted to Situ Xin. He wondered what Situ Xin was doing at that moment and if she ever thought of him.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Muli felt an urge to rush back and see Situ Xin.

Yet he knew he couldn’t be impulsive, nor was it the time to be. He told himself that this separation was to ensure they could be together and have each other forever.

When Situ Xin arrived home with Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, she was surprised to see the men who usually worked outside all sitting in the living room sofas, which was extraordinarily unusual.

Situ Xin, seeing the unexpected gathering in the living room, turned to inquire the reason from her grandfather and maternal grandfather. Both Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo shook their heads, expressing their confusion about why these men would all be there during working hours.

When Situ Haoran and the others saw Situ Xin appear at the doorway, they promptly stood up from the sofas. "Dad, father-in-law, how did it go?" Situ Haotian asked as he walked toward his darling daughter and picked her up. "Daddy’s little princess," he remarked each time he returned home, always eager to carry his precious daughter Situ Xin, who was already nine years old.

"What do you mean, how did it go? Don’t you see who’s the darling granddaughter here?" Old Master Situ’s face showed nothing but pride, brushing off the previous worries.

Seeing the expressions on Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo’s faces, the rest of the family immediately knew that today’s events had gone smoothly—no, it was more than just smoothly; there must have been some unexpected results.

Loo Jianxin wanted to ask his father about the specifics of the morning’s events, but at that moment, Situ Xin, wrapped in her father’s arms, wrapped her arms around her dad’s neck and said coquettishly, "Daddy, I’m hungry."

The household’s little princess was hungry—this was a big deal indeed. Everyone put aside their other concerns and began to make arrangements for the meal.

After eating, Situ Xin went to chat with her grandmother and maternal grandmother, while the men of the house went up to the study to discuss national affairs.

In the afternoon, once Old Master Situ and the others had finished discussing matters upstairs and came down, Situ Xin ran down from the sofa and went straight to Old Master Situ and said, "Grandfather, maternal grandfather, I need to go out this afternoon."

"Oh? Baby wants to go out? Where to?" Old Master Loo asked, touching Situ Xin’s soft hair.

"I have some matters to attend to at the Dragon Society," Situ Xin said, needing to visit the Dragon Society because of Situ Mu Li. Previously, Situ Xin used to secretly visit the Dragon Society at night while everyone was asleep, accompanied by Baibai.

But now that her family was aware of her relationship with the Dragon Society, there was no need to hide it any longer.

"Going to the Dragon Society, huh," Old Master Loo mused after hearing Situ Xin mention the Dragon Society. After a moment of silence, he looked back at Loo Jie and Situ Che. With an idea in mind, he said, "Baby, you may go to the Dragon Society, but you must take your Brother Jie and Brother Che with you."

Even though Old Master Loo knew of Situ Xin’s abilities, he still didn’t feel entirely at ease letting his cherished granddaughter go to the Dragon Society alone.

"Yes, Baby, take your two brothers with you," Old Master Situ also agreed.

In the end, Situ Xin had no choice but to take Situ Che and Loo Jie with her to the Dragon Society.

On their way to the Dragon Society, Situ Xin took out her cellphone for a rare occasion and called Xia Yujie.

When Xia Yujie saw the caller ID on his phone, he thought he was hallucinating for a moment. After all, since Situ Xin got her phone, she rarely called him, and the number of calls could be counted on one hand.

Liu Yuxiang, noticing Xia Yujie just staring at his continuously ringing phone without answering it, deliberately walked over and nudged him, "Jie, why aren’t you answering your phone?"

Xia Yujie snapped out of his daze at Liu Yuxiang’s prompt and hurriedly pressed the answer button.

On the other end, an impatient Situ Xin didn’t even wait for Xia Yujie to speak and started berating him, "Xia Yujie, what were you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? If you were any later, I would have hung up."

To Xia Yujie’s surprise, it was indeed Situ Xin who had called. Hearing her chiding him over the phone, he couldn’t help but show a rare, genuine smile, "Miss, I’m sorry, I thought I was seeing things just now and didn’t manage to answer your call right away. But, Miss, did you call for something important?" Xia Yujie knew very well that Situ Xin wouldn’t touch the cellphone unless it was for something significant.
