Chapter 716 - 710 No Misunderstanding (2)_1
Baibai, having heard Xiao Muli’s words, was touched by his devoted love, but still responded with a sharp tongue, "Such a smooth-talker."
Xiao Muli’s confession moved many of the young people present, who were more innocent than the cunning veterans of the business and political worlds. They were still at an age where they yearned for and believed in love.
However, those with less pure intentions felt their hearts sink after hearing Xiao Muli’s words. The faces of these three individuals darkened considerably. They had harbored the hope that Xiao Muli’s female companion might be someone he’d brought along at the last minute upon learning of their schemes, or perhaps Xiao Muli’s interest in this newly emerged woman was just a fleeting fancy that would soon perish once the novelty wore off. This would give them their chance.
But now, the earnestness in Xiao Muli’s speech made it abundantly clear: the girl standing next to him was not someone found at random, nor was she a passing whim, but rather the subject of Xiao Muli’s admiration.
"Hey, Patriarch Xiao has truly been bewitched by that vixen. He doesn’t seem to realize that not just any woman is worthy of his status. Not just anyone can become the Madam of the Xiao Family," grumbled Madam Mao, visibly displeased by Xiao Muli’s words. Taking her daughter by the hand, she headed toward Xiao Muli.
Madam Mao continued to mutter under her breath. "Mom, stop it. That girl is not someone our family should provoke," Miss Mao interjected, usually not interfering with her mother’s prattle. But upon seeing Situ Xin face to face, surprise took over her, and she hurried to stop her mother.
"What’s wrong? You know this girl?" Madam Mao, halted by her daughter’s comment, stopped muttering and asked.
