The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 861 - 821: The Tenth Birthday Banquet Side Story

When the three siblings arrived in the living room, everyone in the family was neatly dressed and waiting for them.

Upon seeing their great-grandpa and great-grandma seated there, Xiao Shiyao ran up to them and affectionately asked, "Great-grandpa, great-grandma, do I look pretty today?"

"Pretty, very pretty. Our Shiyao Baby is the prettiest," Old Master Situ and the others really enjoyed their great-granddaughter’s charm; their smiles almost turned their eyes into slits.

"Shiyao Baby, come over to your uncle, I have a gift for you," Situ Jin said with an indulgent smile, taking out a gift and tempting Xiao Shiyao with it.

However, someone noticed Situ Jin’s biased action and was not happy. "Ah, Uncle, that’s really unfair. You’ve prepared a gift for sister, what about my and big brother’s gift?" Xiao Xuyang looked threateningly at his uncle Situ Jin, implying that if he said there were no gifts, he would complain to their grandma.

Would Situ Jin be afraid of threats? He met Xiao Xuyang’s gaze with a "go ahead and complain" look. Then, with an innocent smile, he said: "Uncle really did prepare only one gift."

No sooner had Situ Jin spoken than Xiao Xuyang ran to his grandmother Loo Yaxin and adorably said, "Grandma."

"What’s the matter, Xuyang Baby?" Loo Yaxin, in fact, everyone thought Xiao Xuyang was about to complain that Situ Jin did not prepare gifts for him.

But unfortunately, Xiao Xuyang was not an ordinary child, so his way of thinking was different. He looked up at Loo Yaxin and said, "Grandma, you know, I saw uncle holding a woman’s hand on the street a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Situ Jin had a bad feeling. How could he forget, his two nephews were no easy targets; why did he provoke them? Now he was in trouble.

Situ Jin felt the trouble upon hearing his young nephew’s words, but by the time he realized it was too late. Now, everyone’s gaze in the house had turned toward him, all curious to know what was going on.

Even Situ Xin, upon hearing her son’s words, showed great interest and asked her son Xiao Xuyang, "Xuyang Baby, really? Did you really see your uncle with a woman?"

Situ Xin’s gaze toward her son clearly conveyed: if you dare say it was false, see how I deal with you.

Xiao Xuyang, intimidated by his mother’s intense gaze, shrank a little. Just as he was about to speak, Situ Jin quickly walked over to him with a flattering smile and said, "Xuyang Baby, you were just joking, right? Right?"

While speaking, Situ Jin made a pleading expression with his eyes towards Xiao Xuyang.

It should be said that before Situ Xin spoke, his look might have had some effect, at most he would have been able to be extorted by his young nephew. But now, no matter how much he offered Xiao Xuyang, he couldn’t buy him off.

Xiao Xuyang subconsciously touched his own little bottom, then firmly chose to ignore his uncle’s pleading look, looking decisively at his mother Situ Xin and said, "Mom, I’m telling the truth, I really saw uncle with another woman, and not just me; big brother and sister saw it too. You can ask them if you don’t believe me."

As soon as Xiao Xuyang finished speaking, everyone’s attention once again shifted targets, this time onto Xiao Xuyao and Xiao Shiyao. And these two little darlings cooperatively nodded their heads.

Shiyao Baby even tilted her head and added, "I think I also saw that auntie holding uncle’s hand."

With that, Xiao Shiyao’s words sealed Situ Jin’s fate. Now, everyone looked at Situ Jin with eager curiosity.

Old Madam Situ, Old Madam Loo, and Loo Yaxin were all delighted. Old Madam Situ, with her face hardly able to contain her smile, joyfully declared, "Jin, after the children’s birthday party, invite that girl over, so everyone can meet her."

"Grandma, it’s not what you think, nor what Shiyao and the others saw," upon hearing his grandma’s words, Situ Jin felt like crying. He really wasn’t dating anyone; that woman wasn’t his partner at all.

"It couldn’t be what Shiyao and the others saw. Situ Jin, let me tell you, no later than this week, if you don’t bring a girl home, start going on arranged dates. After all, your grandma and great-grandma have many suitable girls in mind," Loo Yaxin gave Situ Jin the ultimate ultimatum.

"Ah Che, Ah Jie, you two as well. If you don’t bring girls home this week, continue with arranged dates," and now, Situ Che and Loo Jie, originally just enjoying the show, also ended up implicated and named.

"Hey, grandma, Grandma Situ, this isn’t fair. Ah Che and I don’t even have partners," Loo Jie said, ruffling his hair.

"If not, come back for arranged dates. You all are not getting any younger. Look, Baby is so much younger than you, and already old enough to handle soy sauce. Now look at you older brothers, none of you have partners yet," Old Madam Loo said, clearly frustrated.

The two families had no prejudices about social ranking for these three young men and didn’t specifically demand any kind of girl for them, yet the more they didn’t make demands, the more these three failed to find partners. Until now, none had brought a girl home.

Privately, the women in the family even speculated whether these three boys might have some orientation issues. It wasn’t until Situ Xin assured them that her three brothers were perfectly straight that their concerns were finally put to rest.

Old Master Loo saw these three youngsters about to say something but stopped them. "Alright, this matter is settled. If these three don’t bring girls home by the end of the week, arrange dates for them," Old Master Loo said, then turned his head to look at Situ Jin and the others, adding, "Don’t complain about arranged marriages by the elders; we’re giving you a chance. You just aren’t taking it seriously." After finishing, Old Master Loo, followed by Old Master Situ and Old Master Xiao, stood up, saying, "Right, it’s getting late, we should head to the restaurant. We can’t keep our guests waiting."

The birthday party for the three little treasures was now almost on the scale of Situ Xin and Xiao Muli’s wedding.

And now, the Situ, Loo, and Xiao families’ positions in both the military and political circles had grown more stable than before. And the people from these three families generally maintained a neutral stance. They neither sought the top position nor took sides in any dispute.
