Chapter 731 - 721 Analysis (1)_1
"I heard from Grandpa Xiao that Muli announced at their family gathering yesterday that you are his fiancée, is that true?" It was still Old Madam Loo’s gentle voice. But now, no matter how Situ Xin listened, she couldn’t feel its gentleness anymore.
Situ Xin inwardly exclaimed, "This is bad." How could she forget such an important matter? She should have called home after returning from the Xiao Family gathering yesterday. She should have been the one to tell her family about it, and now, not only had she not mentioned it to her family before it happened, but also she didn’t call them immediately afterward to inform them about the engagement, allowing them to hear about it from someone else.
Situ Xin wanted to give herself a good knock on the head. How could her usually reliable brain fail her at such a critical moment? After swallowing hard, she said with difficulty, "Yes, there is such a matter."
"Baby, did you accept Muli’s proposal?" Old Madam Loo asked tentatively.
Situ Xin nodded on the phone. After nodding, she remembered that this was a phone call, and her grandparents couldn’t see her nodding, so she hurriedly replied, "I accepted. But Grandma, the situation was a bit complicated yesterday, that’s why I forgot to tell you afterward. Grandma, I’m sorry."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, a silence that lifted Situ Xin’s heart into the air, fearing that her thoughtless behavior hurt her concerned family members. Thankfully, the silence didn’t last long, and Old Madam Loo’s voice was still kind and gentle, "Baby, your Grandpa and your Grandpa Situ were very angry about this. It’s not something we can explain over a phone call. You and Muli hurry back here."
As soon as Old Madam Loo finished speaking, Old Master Loo’s irritated voice came through the line, "Old lady, tell Baby to tell that boy Muli to hurry back here. He dared to propose to Baby without telling us; he’s planning to present us with a fait accompli, hoping that once the deed is done, we’ll have no choice but to agree to their union, hmph, wishful thinking."
"It seems that the last time he was disciplined was not enough, he hasn’t learned his lesson. This time, I’ll see if I hold back." If Xiao Muli were in front of them now, they would certainly give him a good beating right then and there.
"Baby, you and Muli start packing and come back, he went a bit too far this time," Old Madam Loo said, clearly angry, but she also understood why Xiao Muli did what he did.
"Okay, I understand, I’ll start packing and head back," Situ Xin said as she hung up the phone, her mood for breakfast completely dissipated. She stood up and said to Baibai, "Baibai, stop eating, there’s a big problem. We need to hurry back home."
Baibai heard everything Old Madam Loo and the others said on the phone. As for the situation, Baibai was not worried at all; instead, it looked forward to the unfolding events with a touch of schadenfreude. Of course, this feeling wasn’t directed at its owner, Situ Xin, but towards Xiao Muli, who dared to play this trick behind its back—hmph, this time, Baibai wondered how Xiao Muli would extricate himself from the situation and if he could avoid a thrashing from the men of the Situ and Loo Families.
