Chapter 859: Chapter 819 Extra: Baby at Ten Years Old (1)
Xiao Muli finished speaking and saw his grandfather moving his mouth as if he wanted to speak, so he quickly continued, "Grandfather, rest assured, I have arranged for my people to watch her 24 hours a day, and such an incident will not happen again."
Xiao Muli’s words eased everyone’s expressions. They were aware that, after all, Liu Yun was Xiao Muli’s mother, and they could not really do anything to Liu Yun. This measure taken by Xiao Muli was suitable.
However, Old Master Situ soon sensed something amiss from Xiao Muli’s words. They had only heard from the three little ones that a person claiming to be their grandmother had come to find them, but they didn’t mention what this self-proclaimed grandmother wanted with them, assuming only that Liu Yun was up to minor mischief. Hearing Xiao Muli say this, Old Master Situ was the first to sense the anomaly: "Hey, wait a moment, Muli, you haven’t told us, what did your mother Liu Yun come to school for, to see our family’s three little ones? Don’t say it’s because she missed her grandchildren, we won’t believe that."
"Exactly," Old Master Loo also chimed in. novelbuddy.cσ๓
Xiao Muli did not expect that he would misspeak inadvertently. He hesitated; he truly did not want to reveal what his mother Liu Yun was planning. If he spoke out, he guessed that the three families present would certainly not let Liu Yun off easily.
As Xiao Muli was hesitating and trying to find a way to begin, Situ Xin, who had been an observer, stood up and said, "Oh come on, Grandpa, Grandfather, why bother about what she came for today. From now on, Xiang, she won’t appear again. I have some matters to discuss with Muli, so I won’t talk more with you. Just enjoy playing with the three little ones."
As Situ Xin spoke, he stood up, took Xiao Muli by the hand, and started moving towards their room.
"Ah, it’s always the same, Dad and Mom, every time you two want to play together, you throw us at Great Grandpa and Great Grandma," complained Xiao Xuyang, playing with his handheld gaming device.
"Exactly, as if we’re some kind of trouble," Xiao Shiyao also said discontentedly. Xiao Xuyao, on the other hand, kept his head down, fiddling with his Rubik’s Cube, without saying anything.
When Situ Xin and Xiao Muli heard their three children’s words, they paused. Their kids, really, tearing them down in front of so many people. However, neither Xiao Muli nor Situ Xin were the type to be easily embarrassed; after a brief stop, they continued walking to their room.
Once inside the room, after closing the door, Xiao Muli looked at Situ Xin and asked, "Wife, do you know everything?"
Xiao Muli knew, from the moment that Situ Xin had stepped forward to cover for him, that she must have known the entire situation.
"Yes, I know. I was at Dragon Society this afternoon. The intelligence network of Dragon Society delivered some reports, and I happened to be the first to see them," Situ Xin had gone to the Dragon Society today at the strong request of Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, to discuss the future development of the Dragon Society.
However, before she even had the chance to warm her seat, someone from the Dragon Society’s intelligence network rushed in with a report, saying that her mother-in-law, Liu Yun, had gone to the school to look for her daughter and son. Moreover, she had contacted several child traffickers, planning to lure her daughter and son out of school and hand them over to those traffickers, to sell them to a mountain area.
When Situ Xin heard this news, she was so furious she stood up from her chair instantly. Flames of anger were visibly rising within her. She had not expected Liu Yun to be so cruel and ruthless, even going as far as to not spare her own grandchildren.
Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, upon hearing this news, were so furious they almost rushed to the school to drag Liu Yun to the Dragon Society for a ’proper reception’. Both Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang are very fond of Situ Xin’s three little treasures, and everyone in the Dragon Society knows it; they genuinely treat those three little treasures like young lords and ladies of their society.
After receiving the information, Situ Xin, along with Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang, promptly drove to the school of the three little treasures. However, by the time they arrived, Xiao Muli had already beaten them there.
At that moment, he was confronting Liu Yun with the three little treasures. Liu Yuxiang and Xia Yujie wanted to get out of the car, but Situ Xin stopped them. Since Xiao Muli was there, it was better to let him handle the matter; after all, Liu Yun was his mother.
And she, as Xiao Muli’s wife and Liu Yun’s daughter-in-law, if she were to intervene, it would only make things more difficult for Xiao Muli. Thus, Situ Xin chose to stay in the car and watched as Xiao Muli had Situ Jin take the children away while she had her subordinates take Liu Yun away.
Situ Xin watched the whole process, but she did not express any opinions nor did she wish to get involved.
"How did you manage at that time..." Xiao Muli could imagine that upon receiving the intelligence, Situ Xin would definitely rush to the school without a second thought.
"I arrived and you were already there. I thought it inappropriate for me to intervene," Situ Xin said with a smile. "Actually, my calmness, and not pursuing your mother strongly, was because her plan hadn’t been executed yet. And my three children were all safe and sound. If something had happened to my children, I think I wouldn’t care who she was or what her status was, I would have shot her on the spot."
Situ Xin said this jokingly, but Xiao Muli knew that this was no joke to Situ Xin. It was her most genuine thought.
Xiao Muli hugged Situ Xin from behind, resting his head on her shoulder, inhaling the unique scent of her body, and said, "Wife, I feel the same. If she had really hurt our children today, I wouldn’t have spared her either, even if she is my mother."
In fact, deep down, Xiao Muli and Situ Xin were the same type of people; they would protect unconditionally those they accepted and held dear in their hearts.
Conversely, for those who crossed their lines, they would show no mercy.
Days passed by day after day. In the blink of an eye, the three little treasures were already ten years old.
Although they were only ten, they were already in junior high school, and currently the youngest students in their school.
Today was the tenth birthday of the three little treasures. These three were indeed the jewels of the Situ Family, the Loo Family, and the Xiao Family, and they would not let these beloved children be wronged. Indeed, a month ago, the three families had convened to discuss the matter of the tenth birthday celebration for these three little treasures.
This time, contrary to their usual low-profile nature, the elders of the family wanted to organize a grand celebration. Actually, this demand by the elders, besides the intention to show off, was also because except for their first birthday celebration, the children had not been seen by others due to the excessive protection from the Situ Family, the Loo Family, and the Xiao Family, except for a few major bosses from other families who had ever seen these three little treasures.
