The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 884 - 403

"Xu Haoyang, you get your ass back here right now, immediately, on the double." Just after class, Xu Haoyang, who was preparing to meet Xiao Shiyao, suddenly received a call from his mother. As soon as he answered the phone, before he could even speak, his mother’s roaring voice came through. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Xu Haoyang thought that this description of his mother was not an exaggeration at all.

He instinctively moved the phone away from his ear. Then, after waiting for his mother to finish her tirade, he brought the phone back to his ear.

"Mom, calm down, please don’t get worked up. Getting all worked up can lead to wrinkles."

"You little brat, shut your mouth." Mother Xu scolded him, yet she dared not roar again, conscious of her facial expressions. "Get back here pronto."

"But, Mom, is there something you can’t just say over the phone? I have plans with Yaoyao; we’re about to see a movie." If possible, Xu Haoyang really didn’t want to go back right now. With the state his mother was in at the moment, he feared he would be walking straight into the line of fire.

Hearing Xu Haoyang mention Xiao Shiyao, the temper Mother Xu had managed to subdue flared up again. It wasn’t that she had anything against Xiao Shiyao; quite the opposite, she was quite pleased with her. Such an outstanding girl, she couldn’t hope for a better daughter-in-law.

However, the thought of the invitation she had just received, which was like a hot potato sitting in her hands, made her want to grab her son by the ear if he were here right now. She wasn’t the ruthless type.

"You..." Mother Xu wanted to scold Xu Haoyang a few more times, but suddenly, thinking of something, her whole demeanor deflated like a punctured balloon. "Forget it, just go accompany Yaoyao. Don’t you dare upset her, make sure you take good care of her."

After saying this, Mother Xu hung up the phone.

Father Xu, holding a newspaper in the living room pretending to read it intently, was actually paying all his attention to Mother Xu on the phone.

Just now, he had seen his wife’s fury and was afraid of getting caught in the crossfire, so he had kept silent the entire time, trying his best to reduce his presence. Now that Mother Xu seemed to have calmed down a bit, he was curious why she hadn’t insisted on calling their son back.

From his wife’s demeanor just now, he thought for sure she would have dragged their son back by the ear.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Father Xu couldn’t help but ask.

As soon as Father Xu spoke, he received a glare from Mother Xu. This man, he was enjoying the drama. Really too eager.

"Haoyang had arranged to go to the movies with Yaoyao. Now, if I call him back and he cancels their plans, and later the Xiao couple finds out, won’t it be even more awkward for me when I attend that banquet and encounter Madam Xiao?" With that, Mother Xu’s shoulders slumped. "Ah, Old Xu, what do you think it means for Madam Xiao to deliver this invitation to me herself? Can I, you know, just not go?"

Mother Xu had only seen Situ Xin from a distance a few times in the past. Situ Xin, unlike other wealthy ladies, was born into an aristocratic family and grew up spoiled. She also had her own significant capabilities, and she didn’t show up at those wealthy gatherings very often. So, Mother Xu had little interactions with her and other wealthy ladies.

Thus, regarding Situ Xin, Mother Xu was somewhat fearful by instinct.

"What do you think?" Speaking of this, Father Xu put away the newspaper in his hands. "I don’t want to go either, but Madam Xiao can’t be that scary, can she? Besides, think about the current family head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Muli, just getting close to him is enough to make someone shiver."

Remembering Xiao Muli, Father Xu couldn’t help but curse his son in his heart from top to bottom and inside out.

This damn kid, always such a worry. Earlier, the couple was worried about him, such an old kid and still not having a girlfriend. They feared that his sexual orientation might be an issue, worried that he might bring a boyfriend home to them someday.

Now, well, he hasn’t brought a boyfriend home, and they don’t have to worry about the family line ending. But this kid actually fell for the Eldest Miss Xiao. Isn’t this asking for their lives?

"Sigh."

"Sigh."

The Xu family couple sighed in their home all afternoon.

They were just like that, neither of them being particularly ambitious, content as long as their household was peaceful and happy. If it were any other family, knowing their son was dating the Eldest Miss Xiao, they would surely be ecstatic and set off fireworks to celebrate.

Situ Xin and Xiao Muli had no idea that the invitation they sent had caused the Xu family couple to sigh and lament all afternoon.
