Chapter 314 Making Pastries (2)_1
After finishing the preparations, Situ Xin sent one plate of pastries meant for Old Master Xiao to the servant, asking them to take it downstairs to deliver to him. As for Xiao Muli’s portion, Situ Xin still planned to deliver it herself. Today at noon when Xiao Muli returned home for lunch, he was in a visibly bad mood.
When he first entered the room, his face was still flushed with anger. The few followers behind him didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly. It was only after seeing Situ Xin and Old Master Xiao that the rage on Xiao Muli’s face gradually dissipated.
Although Situ Xin had decided not to interfere with the Xiao Family’s affairs after Xiao Muli accepted the position of Family Head, she had the members of Dragon Society and The Dark Division withdrawn. Xiao Muli would only grow by slowly tempering himself in the various affairs of the Xiao Family.
However, Situ Xin was still a little worried about Xiao Muli. She could tell he was seriously agitated at noon. "Baibai, stop eating and come with me," said Situ Xin as she carried a plate of pastries, calling Baibai to follow her to the front yard to Xiao Muli’s study.
Since Xiao Muli became the Family Head, he had instructed everyone not to stop Old Master Xiao or Situ Xin from coming to his study. As a result, when Situ Xin arrived at Xiao Muli’s study, the bodyguards waiting outside greeted her respectfully, "Miss Situ."
Situ Xin nodded in acknowledgment and proceeded to Xiao Muli’s study. Xiao Muli’s bodyguards glanced at his study, then back at Situ Xin, their mouths opened as if they wanted to say something, but in the end, they remained silent.
Situ Xin was just three meters away from the study when she heard Xiao Muli’s angry voice from inside, "A bunch of idiots—they think I don’t know their petty schemes. Very well, the position of Family Head isn’t settled, and they want to push a woman at me to control me," he continued after a pause, "Humph, do they think I’m someone that can be controlled by any woman?"
Got it. Situ Xin understood what was happening. The other members of the Xiao Family saw a trusted Family Head ascend but the position of the Family Matriarch was still vacant. They had no hope for the position of Family Head, but by pushing a woman related to them onto Xiao Muli, she could become the matriarch of the Xiao Family.
"What should we do, master?" Seeing Xiao Muli so angry, his few attendants were too frightened to breathe, fearing that they might become the target of his outburst. However, Xiao Muli’s secretary, noticing the invitation—not really an invitation but more a card for a ball organized by other members of the Xiao Family to celebrate the new Family Head’s appointment—in his hand.
