Chapter 703 - 699: Worries (2)_2
In this big compound, it wasn’t only Old Master Xiao who envied the Situ family and the bustle of activity at the Loo family’s home. Sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters would all come home whenever they had time, which was quite unlike their own ungrateful children, who were never to be seen unless it was a major event or an important holiday.
All those old masters and madams knew that the lively atmosphere at the Situ and Loo families was largely thanks to their cherished gem, Situ Xin. Each one of them wished desperately that she was part of their family.
Previously, those old masters and madams in the compound with grandsons around Situ Xin’s age had all calculated on getting their grandsons to marry Situ Xin. But before they could make a move, Xiao Muli had beaten them to it. Now Old Master Xiao, whenever he went out, received an earful from the other old masters and madams. However, even as Old Master Xiao was scolded, the smile on his face grew even wider.
The moment Xiao Muli’s car appeared at the Situ family’s doorway, Situ Xin heard it. Not just Situ Xin, but also Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo heard it too. Upon hearing the sound of the car, the two old masters knew it was Xiao Muli, the man who had snatched their precious gem right before their eyes.
The two old masters both let out a sound of displeasure. In contrast, Old Master Xiao’s eyes crinkled with laughter; he was very satisfied with his grandson’s actions. Old Master Xiao thought to himself, if his grandson could act a little quicker and settle the matter of marrying Situ Xin and then give him a great-grandson or great-granddaughter, then all the better.
Old Master Xiao imagined that he could see a little baby as adorable and beautiful as Situ Xin calling him "Great Grandpa."
Situ Xin, on the other hand, had grown accustomed to Xiao Muli’s punctual visits every day. It wasn’t just her; the women of both the Situ and Loo families had become used to Xiao Muli’s daily arrivals. And now, Xiao Muli had just stepped through the Situ family’s front gate.
Old Madam Situ greeted Xiao Muli with a smile, "Muli, you’re off work, eh? Come in, come in. The cakes that Baby made are ready. Have some to fill your stomach first."
