The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

Wenren Yunxi, upon confirming that Old Master Xiao wasn’t someone untouchable, spoke without any regard, "What is your status, that you should have knowledge of such matters?"

Wenren Yunxi’s arrogance and the disdain in her eyes caused Old Master Xiao to be so angry that he laughed instead. For so many years, he had always held a high position, and people always showed him deference. He had never encountered someone looking at him with contempt.

Situ Xin, fearing that Old Master Xiao was not young anymore and might get seriously upset by Wenren Yunxi, could not afford such an outcome. She hurriedly stood up, walked over to Old Master Xiao, and patted him on the back, saying, "Grandpa Xiao, don’t be angry, it’s not worth getting sick over this."

"Xiao Xin girl, it’s nothing." Old Master Xiao smiled at Situ Xin, indicating that he was fine. He then raised his head to look at Wenren Yunxi with a serious expression, displaying the aura of a high-ranking individual. "What is my status? Wenren Yunxi, the young lady of the Wenren Family. You say you’re Xiao Muli’s fiancée, but you don’t even recognize his grandfather. What right do you have to be so presumptuous? Just because you’re from the Wenren family, you think you can look down on people? Huh?"

The words and the imposing manner of Old Master Xiao gave Wenren Yunxi a bad feeling. But before she could figure out what was going on, Old Master Xiao continued, "You question my status? Let me tell you, I am Xiao Muli’s grandfather. Unless I’m mistaken, this is my granddaughter-in-law. When did you become my granddaughter-in-law?" Old Master Xiao’s words made Situ Xin, who was standing beside him watching the scene unfold, jump in shock. She never expected Old Master Xiao to bring her into this.

And when had she become Old Master Xiao’s granddaughter-in-law? She was unaware of it and looked at Old Master Xiao with puzzled eyes. But Old Master Xiao stubbornly refused to turn his head to look at her.

When Wenren Yunxi heard Old Master Xiao reveal his identity, her face turned pale instantly. She stared at Old Master Xiao, unblinking, full of surprise and regret. She started to speak, "Grandpa Xiao, I..." She wanted to say something to Old Master Xiao to salvage some dignity, but thinking of what she had said earlier, she couldn’t bring herself to speak.

Moreover, trying to save face at this point was unlikely. The situation had already caught the attention of a small part of the people in the banquet hall. At first, Wenren Yunxi wasn’t afraid of being the center of attention because she wanted Situ Xin to be embarrassed. But unexpectedly, it was she who ended up being the one embarrassed.

As Wenren Yunxi was uncertain about how to resolve the matter, Xiao Muli turned and saw a crowd surrounding the place where Situ Xin was sitting. He immediately felt anxious, worrying that something had happened to Situ Xin. He excused himself from the people beside him and hurried over to Situ Xin.
