The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 889 - 407

"Big Brother, that was way too much. You saw Lu Xinyi and didn’t even give me a heads-up, just ran off yourself." Xiao Xuyang found his big brother Xiao Xuqu who had slipped away earlier at the side entrance: "Lucky I reacted fast, or she would’ve definitely clung to me today. Ugh, talk about injustice, she clings to me not because she’s into me, but to fish for your information through me." Xiao Xuyang’s face was all wrinkles.

"If you wanted to seduce her, it’d take you just a minute. You already know what she and her Lu Family value." Talking about Lu Xinyi, Xiao Xuqu couldn’t even stand to mention her name.

And the ambitions of the Lu Family, both the Xiao Family and Situ Family were well aware of.

"Better not, I definitely don’t have such ’special’ tastes." Xiao Xuyang took several steps back in fear from his brother’s words. He always knew that in front of his big brother, he only got tricked and cleaned up. So, he sensibly dropped the topic of Lu Xinyi. He was sure if he offended his big brother, his future days would probably be tormented to death by Lu Xinyi.

That Lu Xinyi and the Lu Family could bounce around so cheerfully was because they hadn’t yet touched his big brother’s bottom line. Otherwise, if his big brother really made a move, Lu Xinyi and the Lu Family wouldn’t be hopping around anymore.

Xiao Xuyang could tell his big brother was already extremely impatient, he didn’t want to seek death by tempting fate, so he quickly changed the subject. "Hey, Big Brother, do you think Dad did it on purpose this time? Did he deliberately make us help with the banquet as a punishment for not noticing Yaoyao taken away by that big baboon Xu Haoyang?"

Xiao Xuqu gave Xiao Xuyang a look, to let him figure it out for himself. Wasn’t it obvious? "Besides that, Dad also thinks we’re way past the age to not have partners. Of course, Mom agrees with Dad’s way of thinking." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

And to be fair, Xiao Xuqu had a clear understanding of their father Xiao Muli’s thoughts.

As a couple, Xiao Muli and Situ Xin wouldn’t interfere with their sons’ love lives. Whether to find a partner or what kind of partner to find, that was their own business, and they wouldn’t rush them.

But this time, Xiao Muli’s disapproval of the brothers still being single was purely because their sister got snagged by someone else’s son, which really irked him. Then, thinking about how his two sons hadn’t snatched any girl from another family yet, he really wasn’t comfortable with it.

So, Xiao Muli had the brothers Xiao Xuyang and Xiao Xuqu come and help out, with the side benefit of parading them in front of all the eligible young women. Maybe, they might find someone they like?

Of course, this last part was Situ Xin’s idea.

Situ Xin didn’t insist her sons find any particular type of partner, but she did want to create opportunities for them, to interact more with the opposite sex, so they could figure out what kind of girl they actually liked.

"Holy crap, dad’s being too harsh. He’s seriously going after my life." Xiao Xuyang felt his dad was truly ruthless, cleaning them up without any mercy. And to boot, he hit them right where it hurt.

"And you can’t even complain to mom. He has mom’s full approval on this." Xiao Xuqu knew that his little brother had a habit of complaining to their mom after the fact, trying to score points against their dad.

He thought he was being sneaky, but all his actions were in full view of their dad. So this time, their dad cut off that avenue completely.

"Ah, my God, Dad’s trying to be thorough with this."

"Better to leave than to wail about it here. I’m heading out first." Xiao Xuqu waited at the side entrance just for Xiao Xuyang. Otherwise, he would have left earlier. He certainly didn’t want to be surrounded by a bunch of girls.

"Eh, wait, you’re leaving just like that, Bro? Dad asked us to help out. If we leave now, he will surely clean us up later." Xiao Xuyang got anxious when he saw Xiao Xuqu starting to leave.

"Our subordinates aren’t incompetent, are they? I’ve instructed them about everything here, so even if we’re not present, nothing will go wrong. Besides, I just saw our parents going to deal with that woman who’s been badmouthing behind the scenes. And the Xu family couple have arrived, once they catch up, I doubt they’ll have the time to care whether we’re here or not." Xiao Xuqu had everything around him figured out a long time ago, then quickly analyzed it all in his brain.

"Wow, Big Brother, you’re so awesome. What are we waiting for? Let’s get going."

With that, Xiao Xuyang ran faster than Xiao Xuqu, afraid a slow step would get him caught by their parents and dragged back.

Not to mention, any family with daughters around the same age as the three Xiao children would dress up and come with their parents. They all thought, just in case, if they caught the eyes of the two young Xiaos, their family would then be connected to the Situ Family and the Xiao Family.

As for boys of a similar age in the family, they also wanted to bring them along. But although the Xiaos didn’t state the purpose of the banquet, they all knew it well in their hearts. So after much hesitation, in the end, they didn’t bring along their boys.

However, those who came with their daughters to ’accidentally’ bump into the two Xiao heirs ended up wandering around in the banquet hall without catching sight of them. One by one, they were particularly unwilling to let it go.

Situ Xin, on the other hand, didn’t even bother about the whereabouts of her two sons. It was Xiao Muli, though, who noticed that neither of his sons were present in the entire banquet hall. But even so, he didn’t mind it too much.

He was just teasing them. He didn’t really expect his two sons to find daughters-in-law for him and his wife at this banquet.

Mother Xu never expected that Situ Xin would step in to handle the woman who had been spreading rumors behind their backs. "Old Xu, what should we do? Suddenly I find Madam Xiao so cool." Mother Xu’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

Father Xu, hearing his wife use "cool" to describe Madam Xiao, and with such admiring eyes staring at her, was completely dumbfounded. He didn’t know how to respond or what kind of facial expression to put on that would be appropriate.

In reality, Mother Xu wasn’t expecting a reply from Father Xu. She just watched Situ Xin with the eyes of a fan. "I’ve always had immense respect for Madam Xiao. For a woman to live like that, truly, she earns my utmost respect."

Everyone in the Capital City circle knew about Situ Xin’s feats, so for many years, no woman dared approach Xiao Muli.

Of course, Xiao Muli never gave any woman the chance to get close to him either.
