Chapter 758 - 739 Xiu’s Cultivation Career (1)_1
No matter how displeased the men of the Situ Family and Loo Family were with Xiao Muli, who had snatched away their treasure, they couldn’t just kick him out along with the gloating Old Master Xiao, not without considering the feelings of the women of both families.
Xiao Muli sat calmly at the dining table, facing unfriendly glances from all directions without his expression changing. His emotions only fluctuated more intensely when he faced Situ Xin.
Old Master Xiao, taking the dish he loved that was placed in front of him, cast a boastful glance at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, then said to Situ Xin, "It’s the thoughtfulness of Xiao Xin that warms my heart, knowing exactly what Grandpa Xiao enjoys eating. Not like our bratty boy, always with a stern face, pretending to be cool. But, oh, the most correct thing this lad has ever done in his life was to fall for you, girl." He had intended to say that the most correct thing Xiao Muli had done in his life was to marry Situ Xin, but upon receiving those fiery glares around the dining table, he decided to alter his words.
Although the relationship between his grandson Xiao Muli and Situ Xin was confirmed for the time being, there was still no marriage certificate. If he truly angered the men of the Situ and Loo Families, they might just change their minds.
Confronting Old Master Xiao’s boasting, Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo clenched their teeth so hard it nearly emanated a "grit, grit" sound. They itched to throw the irritating Old Master Xiao out. Noticing her grandfather and maternal grandfather’s emotions growing too intense, Situ Xin hurriedly served them their favorite dishes.
She said, "Grandpa, Grandfather, please eat. The food will not taste good if it gets cold."
Watching their sweet and considerate granddaughter, the two old men managed to suppress their irritation and smiled at Situ Xin.
The matter was finally put to rest. If Situ Xin hadn’t come out today to even things out and had let the situation escalate, Xiao Muli and his grandfather would probably have been chased out by Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo.
As for Xiao Muli, he was utterly helpless about his grandfather’s counterproductive actions. It was ridiculous, considering his grandfather would usually act all experienced at home, advising him on what to do, but if he really did as his grandfather suggested, he would probably remain unmarried for life.
This meal passed with potential disaster averted; however, Situ Xin was truly at a loss for words regarding Old Master Xiao. Watching from the side, she couldn’t help thinking that Old Master Xiao had come to stir up trouble, deliberately so.
His uncanny knack for provoking her grandfather and maternal grandfather, stepping exactly where their landmines were, was on full display. Yet, seeing the three old men bicker, Situ Xin still felt it was a good thing. After all, the elderly needed this kind of liveliness, with constant bickering, to strengthen their affections for one another.
