The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 896 - 415

Situ Xin and Xiao Muli have been childhood sweethearts, and after so many years of marriage, she could understand every expression of his.

When Xiao Muli just now had a solemn face, saying he needed to make a call, she guessed who he was going to call. Therefore, she didn’t take it to heart at all.

However, unlike Situ Xin who understands Muli inside out, the Xu family couple, who were barely acquainted with him, were on edge. Just now, they could see Xiao Muli changing his expression with their own eyes, the two looked at each other—now the smiles on their faces were gone.

"Xiao Xin, if Patriarch Xiao has to attend to matters, let him be. Also, as the hosts of today’s banquet, it’s not good to only accompany the two of us," Mother Xu was very happy to be in close contact with her idol. She also enjoyed chatting with Situ Xin, but how could they just accompany them when the couple had important matters to attend to?

"Yes, Madam Xiao, you and Patriarch Xiao go ahead, don’t mind us," Father Xu echoed.

"We are not busy at all. To tell you the truth, the reason my husband and I are hosting this banquet is to meet you two and understand what kind of people our future in-laws are. As you know, among our three children, Yaoyao is the only girl. She is deeply loved by the family at home, so for her future husband and in-laws, we don’t have many demands, just that they fully accept her," Situ Xin said with a smile.

The couple had already arranged for people to attend to the guests.

As for those who came with ulterior motives, they would probably be disappointed this time.

When Mother Xu was at home, she always complained about her son’s faults. She even said her son, Xu Haoyang, was not worthy of Xiao Shiyao. But in front of others, she would never speak ill of her son: "Xiao Xin, rest assured, I’ve always wanted a daughter. Who knew that after giving birth to Haoyang, I thought the doctor made a mistake, and brought the wrong child. So, if Yaoyao becomes my daughter-in-law, I will definitely treasure her like my own daughter. And Haoyang is, not because he is my son and I’m bragging, very serious about relationships and never messes around with the opposite sex."

Hearing Mother Xu’s words, Situ Xin couldn’t help but laugh: "I know, it is because we know Haoyang is good that we wanted to meet with you two."

After Xiao Muli finished the call and put away his phone, he was about to return. As soon as he turned around, a figure came crashing straight towards his chest.

Xiao Muli’s face darkened, and he quickly sidestepped.

The figure that was supposed to crash into him, now tumbled heavily to the ground, "Ouch." Qian Yue had not left any margin for error in order for it to look real, calculating that Xiao Muli, unprepared, would not be able to dodge.

However, as well as Qian Yue had schemed, she miscalculated Xiao Muli’s agility.

Qian Yue was the illegitimate daughter of Patriarch Qian from outside the family, who had not been back with the Qian Family for long.

Originally, today’s banquet was not something an illegitimate daughter of the Qian Family could attend. But, she was good at lying; since coming back to the Qian Family, she had been deceitfully enchanting Patriarch Qian. Thus, she was here because she kept begging Patriarch Qian to bring her along.

It irritated Lady of the Qian Family and the other younger members to the point where they couldn’t wait to pounce on Qian Yue and tear her apart.

And Qian Yue begged Patriarch Qian to come to this banquet because her initial goal was the two Xiao Family young masters. She thought, as long as she could get into the bed of one of them, she would be able to strut around with her head high in the Qian Family, even in Capital City.

But, as it turned out, she barely saw the faces of the two Xiao young masters before they disappeared. However, Patriarch Xiao, who was supposed to be in his forties, didn’t look his age at all—he appeared to be just over thirty. Moreover, his aura was not something those twenty-something-year-olds could compare with.

Qian Yue set her sights on Xiao Muli at first glance and decided that she would conquer him today.

Here was her chance to pull off a little drama.

Qian Yue fell heavily to the ground, the pain making stars appear before her eyes. However, she didn’t forget the purpose of her visit. She looked up, her eyes red, lips slightly bitten, wearing what she thought was the most heart-touching expression, and gazed at Xiao Muli.

"Patriarch Xiao, could you please help me up?"

Xiao Muli looked down coldly at this woman who was obviously scheming something, no particular emotion in his eyes except for full-fledged disgust.

Instead of stretching out a hand and pulling Qian Yue up as she had anticipated, he gave her a look full of disgust and left without looking back.

Qian Yue hadn’t expected Xiao Muli to react like this. Seeing him turn and walk away, she panicked and called out, "Patriarch Xiao, please help me up. I can’t get up on my own after the fall."

But Xiao Muli didn’t stop his steps at all and just walked away.

This woman, truly the epitome of stupidity. While playing this game of throwing herself at him, she didn’t even bother to inquire around; as for Xiao Muli, apart from his wife Situ Xin and his daughter Xiao Shiyao, which of the women who tried to get close ever had a good ending.

Xiao Muli didn’t go back to Situ Xin directly, instead, he found the captain of the security team this time, instructing him to have someone toss out the ulterior-motived Qian Yue directly. He didn’t ask for any gentleness or compassion, just to throw her out straightforwardly.

Having received his command, the security team captain personally led his men to execute Xiao Muli’s orders. When he arrived with his team and saw Qian Yue sitting on the ground, gritting her teeth with anger, he immediately understood.

Yet another woman deluded by the dream of climbing onto Patriarch Xiao’s bed.

"Toss her out," the security guard captain ordered personally. With Patriarch Xiao’s command behind them, they need not have any reservations.

"Hey, what are you doing? Do you know who I am? If you dare touch me, I’ll make sure you can’t get by in Capital City," Qian Yue struggled and shouted.

Initially, the security team captain and his men had intended to be relatively gentle, but hearing Qian Yue’s threats, they immediately changed their demeanor. The captain signaled the other three; the two forcefully grabbed her without any further hesitation.

"Little girl, it doesn’t matter if you’re from the Qian Family or any other family, let me tell you, you probably won’t be able to stay in Capital City any longer. Next time, before you have such crooked thoughts, first do some research and see if this is a person you can afford to mess with. You’re really asking for death, daring to set your sights on Patriarch Xiao. Hurry up, toss her out," the security team captain ordered with a wave of his hand, the others not giving Qian Yue a chance to struggle, grabbing her arms and dragging her towards the door.

Moreover, the security team captain didn’t give Qian Yue any face. He didn’t instruct them to throw Qian Yue out the back door; instead, they dragged her directly to the front banquet hall, and tossed her out the main entrance.

When Qian Yue, escorted by the guards, was dragged out through the front hall, the normally lively crowd suddenly became as silent as if frozen, losing their voices in an instant.

"Let me go, let me go," Qian Yue struggled.

Upon seeing that his daughter was being dragged out by the security, Patriarch Qian hurried over. "What are you doing? Let her go right now," Patriarch Qian roared.

"Dad, save me, save me," Qian Yue’s hair had already become disheveled in the struggle. Upon seeing Patriarch Qian, she saw a savior.

"Patriarch Qian, I advise you not to meddle in this matter. Do you think we would throw her out for no reason? This is a command from Patriarch Xiao, instructing us to directly toss her out. As to why Patriarch Xiao ordered her to be thrown out, you can ask your precious daughter what good deeds she has done. Really, what kind of upbringing is this, to actually delude herself into seducing Patriarch Xiao," Situ Xin, who was indebted to the security team captain, plus after hearing the attitude of Qian Yue and Patriarch Qian just now, blatantly stated in front of everyone the matter of Qian Yue trying to seduce Xiao Muli. "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and throw her out, otherwise, if Patriarch Xiao comes later, we might get blamed."

Saying this, the security team captain led his men, dragging Qian Yue, towards the exit.

The crowd that had fallen silent because of this scene started murmuring once they heard the security team captain’s words.

"Such bad luck, she actually dared to harbor such thoughts, really asking for death."

"No kidding, the Qian Family is probably doomed now. I’ll go back and see if there are any dealings with Qian’s left; I’d better prepare immediately."

"Just as they said, this illegitimate daughter can’t be taken out in public. To actually do such a thing."

Patriarch Qian listened to these whispers, his face turning extremely ugly. He never would have expected that this daughter he had just found would dare to do something like this. Thinking of the means of Patriarch Xiao and Madam Xiao, he broke out into a cold sweat.

Situ Xin and Mother Xu came out from the adjoining guest room, followed by Xiao Muli and Father Xu. As they emerged, they just caught the surrounding whispers.

When Situ Xin clearly heard the whispers, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Muli with a teasing gaze, "Didn’t expect that at your age, you’d still have such fortune with women."

"Wife, this isn’t fortune, it’s a calamity. She didn’t even touch the hem of my clothes before she was thrown onto the ground. Then, I had her thrown out directly. Rest assured, she won’t appear in Capital City anymore. As for the Qian Family, they will pay the corresponding price. Wife, you must believe that in my heart, there are no others," Xiao Muli, a man of few words, seemed to have changed when he was with Situ Xin. Moreover, he needed to make his stance clear, otherwise, he’d have to sleep in the study tonight.

"Hmph, considering how you’ve handled this, I’ll let you off," Situ Xin turned her head and covered her mouth to giggle secretly.

She wasn’t really angry; she was just teasing Xiao Muli on purpose.

"Xiao Xin, Patriarch Xiao really is wholeheartedly devoted to you," Mother Xu leaned in and whispered to Situ Xin.

"If he weren’t truly devoted to me, I would have left him long ago."
