Chapter 736 - 724: Imminent (2)_2
Now, seeing Situ Xin like this, they could rest assured.
The door to the study didn’t open until dinner time. The first to come out was Situ Xin’s father, Situ Haotian. Situ Haotian’s face might have been hard to look at, but it wasn’t much better. How could Situ Haotian’s face look good when his dutifully raised daughter was about to become part of another family?
The faces of the next few people who came out didn’t look good either. One by one they wore serious expressions, making Situ Xin feel uneasy, endlessly guessing in her heart what on Earth had happened upstairs.
Only when Old Master Xiao, smiling beamingly, and Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, with completely different expressions, came out did Situ Xin finally feel relieved. The study’s door had been closed all afternoon, but it seemed the outcome was not bad; otherwise, Old Master Xiao wouldn’t have had such a smile on his face.
The last to come out was Xiao Muli, with a calm expression. His feelings were not apparent, but if one looked closely, one would find his eyes full of laughter and joy.
Old Master Situ came down and, seeing the table full of dishes, turned his head and snorted coldly at Old Master Xiao, "Hmph, what? You and your grandson not going back? Do you actually expect me to invite you to stay for dinner?"
"Old man, how can you talk like that," Old Madam Situ glanced sideways at her husband. Really, they had already talked everything out; why was he still acting like this?
"Old sister-in-law, no worries, no worries, I’m used to it, hee hee, even if Situ doesn’t invite me to stay for dinner, I’ll shamelessly stick around to eat," Old Master Xiao was in such a good mood that no matter what Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo said, he wouldn’t take it to heart.
During dinner, Situ Xin had originally wanted to secretly ask Xiao Muli what had been said in the study that afternoon by her grandfathers and step-grandfather, but the two old masters didn’t give her the chance to get close to Xiao Muli at all.
Situ Xin was required by the two old masters to sit by their side. They even childishly showed a triumphant expression to Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli, conveying: "Hmph, even if our treasure marries Xiao Muli, she is still our precious granddaughter. She’s closest to us."
Old Master Xiao and Xiao Muli were good-natured, smiled and didn’t take issue with the two old masters.
