Chapter 857 - 817: Extra - Baby Don’t Be Afraid
Liu Yun knew that it was useless to talk more with these three little brats. If she said too much, it would arouse suspicion from others. Just like that, the expression in the guidance counselor’s eyes seemed to change when she looked at Liu Yun. To avoid further complications, Liu Yun planned to take the three little brats and leave. She smiled at the guidance counselor and said, "Director Wu, you see, there’s a bit of an emergency at home, I need to take them back. I want to ask for some time off for them, may I?"
The guidance counselor observed the interaction between the Xiao Family siblings and Liu Yun, briefly feeling a flicker of doubt. However, it was quickly dismissed. The counselor recognized Liu Yun as a daughter-in-law of the Xiao Family and was sure that the three students were the youngest children of the Xiao Family. Therefore, she attributed the awkwardness of their interactions to their not having spent much time together. Director Wu’s face bore a flattering smile as she said to Liu Yun, "Of course, you can."
Upon Director Wu’s words, a dangerous glint appeared in the eyes of the Xiao Family siblings, but deep down, they weren’t afraid at all of what Liu Yun might do to them.
The three little treasures were unafraid, while Situ Jin, who had received a call from Xiao Shiyao, was on edge the whole time. He knew very well that Liu Yun, his sister Situ Xin’s mother-in-law, didn’t get along with his sister and brother-in-law, and though the children had been born for years, Liu Yun, as their grandmother, had never visited the three little treasures. Now Liu Yun had shown up, and to directly appear at the kids’ school was suspicious no matter how one looked at it.
Situ Jin couldn’t reach Xiao Shiyao after making a call to his niece. He thought for a moment and then dialed Xiao Muli’s number. "Hello," Situ Jin heard Xiao Muli’s hasty footsteps on the other end of the line, thinking that Muli must be busy with something. But no matter how busy he might be, the issue with the three little treasures was still of utmost importance.
"Hello, Muli. I need to tell you something. I just received a message from Shiyao saying some woman claiming to be their grandmother showed up at their school. After getting the message, I’ve tried calling her, but no one’s picking up. I’m worried," Situ Jin got straight to the point.
"I just got wind of it too. My mother went to the school to look for Shiyao and the others. I’m heading to the school right this moment," said Xiao Muli before hanging up the phone. He got into his car, started the engine, and slammed the gas pedal, driving towards the school.
Xiao Muli was in a meeting just a few moments ago when his cellphone rang. People from Xiao’s were accustomed to their BOSS’s phone ringing during meetings. They watched their BOSS pick up his phone, guessing amongst themselves whether it was from their madam or their young miss.
