Chapter 356 Completely Different (3)_1
Xiao Muli saw Situ Xin walk in and hurried to her side, beginning to explain, "Xiao Xin, let me explain, I had no idea about any ridiculous prearranged marriage. Besides, I never planned on following through with that prearranged marriage, I—" Xiao Muli, who had always been composed, was now truly flustered.
But before Xiao Muli could finish, Situ Xin cut him off. "Brother Muli, you don’t need to explain. I’ve heard everything I need to. Since your mother has already found you a fiancée, I don’t think I need to ponder over that previous question anymore. Oh, I forgot to tell you, what I despise the most is being a mistress, so I won’t be one," Situ Xin said and then walked over to Old Master Xiao.
"Grandpa Xiao, here’s the wine I promised you. I’ve brought it for you, so I’ll be going now," she said and without waiting for Old Master Xiao or Xiao Muli to say anything else, Situ Xin turned and left the Xiao Family.
Old Master Xiao had not expected Situ Xin to return with his grandson. If he had known, he would certainly have stopped the words of Xiao Muli’s mother, Liu Yun.
"Grandpa, I’m going to chase after Xiao Xin," Xiao Muli felt that if he didn’t clear things up with Situ Xin today, he would lose any chance he might have had.
"Yes, go. Make sure you win that girl over," Old Master Xiao said, setting aside the joy he had felt at seeing his son and daughter-in-law. He gave Xiao Muli a stern command. Xiao Muli’s mother, Liu Yun, and his father, Xiao Guobing, were both unaware of what had just happened. They were all thinking about that beautiful girl who had run out—is she the cherished darling of the Situ Family or the Loo Family? They hadn’t been back for so many years and no longer recognized the treasure of these families.
Liu Yubin’s subsequent handling of the Yun Ling situation was left unquestioned by Situ Xin. Because Situ Xin didn’t inquire, neither Xia Yujie nor Liu Yuxiang mentioned anything to her.
Though Situ Xin knew that Liu Yubin’s position as the head of the education bureau was not secured. Before he could even return from his leave, an official notice arrived from above. Once the investigation confirmed that there were indeed issues with Liu Yubin’s lifestyle, a disciplinary notice was issued. Since the impact of his misconduct was not widespread, he was not expelled from the Party. However, his position at the education bureau was definitely gone.
