Chapter 311 Keep Your Eyes Open (3)_1
Because she couldn’t enter the front door of the Xiao Family Ancestral House, she took that illegitimate child and started shouting outside, demanding a share of Xiao Yongxin’s property. This attracted the attention of several neighboring families.
Xiao Muli originally didn’t want to bother with this mistress and her bastard child. He was extremely busy these days, busy taking over the internal affairs of the Xiao Family, and also busy making time to accompany Situ Xin.
When he learned that Situ Xin would stay with them in the Xiao Family house and return with them, he was secretly delighted. He thought about using this time to deepen his relationship with Situ Xin. Unfortunately, he had just taken over the Xiao Family and there were too many responsibilities on his plate.
Yet even so, he still found time every day to spend with Situ Xin. He would say he’d rather not waste time on women who weren’t respectable.
But this mistress kept making a ruckus outside, which was bad for the Xiao Family’s image. Therefore, with no other choice, Xiao Muli had Xiao Li and Jin Meixia called over to settle this matter.
As soon as the mistress entered, she said to Xiao Muli, "My son is also Xiao Yongxin’s son, why should he get nothing?" "You shameless woman, not only did you destroy someone’s family, but now you even dare to vie with my son for the property," said Jin Meixia, who already despised these mistresses to the bone. She hadn’t expected the mistress to come to her on her own initiative, still foolishly dreaming of competing with her son for the property.
"Stop arguing for now, I don’t have the time to waste on quarreling with you. I’ve called you here to clear things up. The property given to Xiao Li isn’t Xiao Yongxin’s property, but recognition that Xiao Li is a member of the Xiao Family, giving him the property he is entitled to. As for this child, although he is Xiao Yongxin’s son, he’s never been recorded in the Xiao Family’s genealogy. Sorry, I don’t recognize him as a member of the Xiao Family." Having said that, Xiao Muli didn’t bother with anything else and turned to leave.
Xiao Muli’s words made Xiao Li and his mother Jin Meixia immensely grateful. Now that Xiao Muli, the Patriarch of the Xiao Family, had stepped forward and declared that the illegitimate child was not a member of the Xiao Family, no one else with ulterior motives could cause any trouble.
