Chapter 588: Everyone Has a Little Secret (1)_1
Old Master Yu, however, had an expression on his face that was completely opposite to that of Old Master Xiao. When Old Master Yu saw Situ Xin, a smile spread across his face, but to Situ Xin and the others, that smile hardly looked better than crying. "Xiao Xin, you’re back. Come here, girl, sit with your Grandpa Yu for a bit."
"Hey, Old Yu, how come you start snatching our Baby away as soon as you arrive?" Old Master Situ complained when he saw Old Master Yu beckoning Situ Xin to sit by his side. His precious granddaughter—why should she sit beside Old Yu? Old Master Situ glared and puffed his beard but the moment he turned to face Situ Xin, his expression instantly softened, his brows and eyes became tender in a flash. "Baby, come here. Sit with Grandpa. Let’s see how I completely defeated your Grandpa Xiao."
"Situ, saying such things, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue? Hmph, Xin girl, just watch and see who will end up completely defeated." Situ Xin looked at her grandfather and Grandpa Xiao bickering and couldn’t help but smile helplessly and shake her head.
She had long noticed that the elders in the family seemed to be getting more childish as the years went by. The saying about old men becoming children again—perhaps it was precisely describing them.
Situ Xin watched her grandfather and Old Master Xiao bickering endlessly, while she noticed that Old Master Yu seemed to be preoccupied with heavy thoughts. Although in the recent years, the relationship between their family and the Yu Family had been growing more distant—a distance deliberately created by the Yu Family.
About the estrangement between the Yu Family and their Situ Family and the Loo Family, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo had sulked for a long time. It was only after Situ Xin’s persuasion that they managed to see things a little more clearly.
Even so, despite the growing distance between the two families and the Yu Family, Situ Xin’s heart sank when she saw the worried look on Old Master Yu’s face. She took the initiative to sit next to Old Master Yu and didn’t beat around the bush; she got straight to the point, "Grandpa Yu, are you troubled by something? If it’s possible, you can talk to me about it. Maybe I can offer some advice."
Little did Situ Xin know that this was exactly what Old Master Yu had been waiting for her to ask. Upon hearing her offer, his eyes instantly brightened. He sighed and said, "Xin girl, Grandpa Yu indeed needs your help with something."
"Oh? What is it? You tell me, Grandpa Yu, and I’ll certainly help you if I can." As Situ Xin spoke, she tried to recall if anything had happened recently in the Yu Family or if someone from the Yu Family had offended her. But after thinking it over, she couldn’t think of anything, which puzzled her.
