The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

"Hehe, in the end, he’s still the grandson that Grandpa loves the most." Old Master Xiao’s mood significantly improved at Xiao Muli’s words. Heaven really hadn’t allowed their Xiao Family to fall into ruin after all. "Muli, I had to expel your father from the Xiao Family, truly it was a last resort. However, what I truly regret is agreeing to let him marry your mother in the first place," Old Master Xiao sighed and continued, "When I visited the Situ Family today, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo spoke to me. They mentioned that lately, someone has been investigating the Liu Family. These two only said just this much, but we all understand the meaning behind these words. The Liu Family is your mother’s family. Even though you and I haven’t meddled in the Liu Family’s affairs, your mother has used the Xiao Family’s reputation to secure many benefits for her own family. Within this, there must be some unsightly dealings. Your Grandpa Situ and Grandpa Loo obviously knew about this, so, in order to avoid implicating our Xiao Family, they warned me in advance." Old Master Xiao let out a deep sigh, his face filled with regret. "I regret that I didn’t stop your mother when I knew she was using the Xiao Family’s name to help her family. I’ve let things develop to the current state. Now, in order to protect the Xiao Family, I had no choice but to sever the father-son relationship with your father. This way, if the Liu Family gets into trouble and something is uncovered, it won’t implicate the Xiao Family."

These words were something Old Master Xiao only dared to say to Xiao Muli. To his own son, Old Master Xiao didn’t dare to reveal a single word.

"Grandpa, you did the right thing, and I agree with your decision. Don’t worry. I will ensure their complete safety," Xiao Muli’s statement wasn’t just bravado. If his parents really were to be implicated, he could ensure their safety, but just that, nothing more.

Previously, the movements within the Xiao, Loo, and Situ Families had long since spread throughout the compound, including the fact that Old Master Xiao had expelled his son, Xiao Guobing, from the Xiao Family. Everyone in the compound had heard about it.

Compared to those families who didn’t know the inside story and were privately thinking, "Old Master Xiao really is ruthless. For the sake of that girl from the Situ Family, he even kicked out his own son," it was clear how much the Xiao Family valued that girl from the Situ Family.

When these families spoke these words, they did so with a hint of jealousy. Which one of them in the compound wouldn’t want to marry that girl from the Situ Family? Not only did that girl, Situ Xin, come from a good family, but marrying her was like having the backup of two great families, the Situ and Loo. Plus, Situ Xin’s appearance and abilities were well-known in the compound. Google seaʀᴄh novel·fıre·net

These families, in their glee, thought to themselves, "The Xiao Family, for the sake of that girl from the Situ Family, kicked out their own son. Who knows if they will be able to successfully marry her into the family. If they can’t, it would all be in vain."

But Old Master Loo, Old Master Situ, and Old Deng, those who knew the details, privately thought, "Old Xiao indeed has some skills."
