Chapter 374 Making a Deal (3)_1
Situ Xin arrived at the front gate of the compound filled with curiosity, followed closely by Situ Jin.
As soon as Situ Xin appeared at the entrance of the compound, Fu Xiaoyi ran to her side, grabbed her arm, and started crying. Between sobs, she said, "Situ Xin, I can give up Xiao Muli to you. I can break off my engagement with him. But please, you must save my parents."
Situ Xin frowned in displeasure at Fu Xiaoyi’s grasp on her arm. Moreover, whether intentional or not, Fu Xiaoyi was gripping her arm tightly, and she could feel the pain. Situ Xin subtly extricated her arm from Fu Xiaoyi’s grasp.
Then, she stepped back and said, "Miss Fu, what are you talking about? Whether or not you have a marriage with Xiao Muli is something you should discuss with Xiao Muli himself, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I think Xiao Muli is not someone you, Miss Fu, can give away just because you say so. Lastly, regarding your request that I save your parents, I’m puzzled—what’s happened to your parents?" Situ Xin had never expected Fu Xiaoyi to seek her out for her parents.
Feeling perplexed, Situ Xin said to Baibai, "Baibai, is Fu Xiaoyi’s brain functioning normally? Why would she come to me? I have nothing to do with her at all."
"Then, Situ Xin, can you call out Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Muli for me? I need to speak with them," Fu Xiaoyi said, still looking pitifully at Situ Xin.
This time, before Situ Xin could say anything, Situ Jin stepped in front of her and said sharply to Fu Xiaoyi, "Fu Xiaoyi, I don’t care what scheme you’ve come up with to approach my sister. But I’d advise you to weigh your own importance before taking action. Not everyone is at your disposal for manipulation. I’m telling you, if you dare to target my sister, I won’t hesitate to make an exception and lay hands on a woman." Situ Jin paused before adding, "Besides, if you want Xiao Muli, go and seek out the Xiao Family. However, I think, the Xiao Family doesn’t even take you seriously."
Fu Xiaoyi looked down, deep in thought. Just as Situ Jin was pulling Situ Xin to enter the compound, she suddenly lifted her head, biting her lip with a desperate look, and said, "Can we talk somewhere? There are some things I can’t say here, but if you’re not afraid, I don’t mind saying them here."
