Chapter 447 Xiao Family’s Ambition is Too Big (3)_1
Old Master Xiao’s words made both Old Master Situ and Situ Xin feel very uncomfortable. Old Master Xiao kept calling them thoughtless, but how old were Liu Yuhan and Xiao Yanlei? They were not little kids. Upon hearing Old Master Xiao’s words, Old Master Situ couldn’t help but want to speak, but Situ Xin stopped him.
Situ Xin shook her head at her grandfather, Old Master Situ, signaling him to calm down and not be hasty. If Old Master Xiao had spoken more modestly and pleasantly today, Situ Xin might have let the matter rest. However, his words made Situ Xin very uncomfortable, and she never let people who made her uncomfortable have an easy time, "Old Master Xiao, I don’t like what you’re saying. Let’s talk about what your granddaughter Liu Yuhan and your grandson Xiao Yanlei did to me. You say they’re thoughtless, but may I ask, how old are they? Are they minors, or are they younger than I am?" Situ Xin paused, watching Old Master Xiao’s increasingly ugly expression, and continued, "If I remember correctly, your grandson Xiao Yanlei is already working in a government department, and although your granddaughter Liu Yuhan is in the same class as me, she is actually several years older than me. At their age, to say they are thoughtless seems a bit far-fetched. And about your granddaughter’s leg, I admit I was responsible, but after she harbored such malicious thoughts, do you really think that this minor punishment I gave her was too much? As for the affairs of your granddaughter’s parents and your grandson, I believe these are matters for the state, affairs of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and not something that the Situ Family or I, Situ Xin, can control. What they did was not forced upon them by others." By the time Situ Xin finished speaking, Old Master Xiao’s face was so dark it looked as if it could drip ink.
This was the first time he had been rendered speechless by a younger person.
"Hmph, my daughter, my son-in-law, and my grandson wouldn’t have ended up there if it hadn’t been for you exposing them," Old Master Xiao squeezed out these words, still not willing to give in.
"Yes, it was I who had someone expose your daughter, your son-in-law, and even your grandson’s affairs. But if they had not engaged in illegal and undisciplined behavior, even with all my abilities, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything to them, would I? Hmph, they deserved their fate today because of their own deeds," Situ Xin’s expression darkened as well.
"You... you..." Old Master Xiao pointed at Situ Xin, so angry he wanted to hit her, but even though he was severely irritated by Situ Xin, he was still rational. He knew that if he laid a hand on her today, there would be a definitive break between the Situ Family, the Loo Family, and the Xiao Family.
Fearing he wouldn’t be able to restrain himself if he continued looking at Situ Xin’s face, Old Master Xiao shook his sleeve and left the Situ Family’s house.
Situ Xin watched Old Master Xiao’s retreating figure as he left the Situ Family, her eyes narrowing.
After seeing Old Master Xiao completely disappear at the door, Situ Xin turned to Old Master Situ, who was still grumbling about Old Master Xiao’s behavior, and asked, "Grandfather, in our family and Grandpa Loo’s family, who is interested in that position up top?"
