The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 929 - 446

"Sister-in-law, why even bother with people like her in the future. You’re still clinging to whatever past you two had, willing to let bygones be bygones, but look at her, not only has she smeared your name behind your back, now she has the audacity to come here and blame you. Had I known, I wouldn’t have agreed with my second brother to let her off." Xiao Shiyao walked over and took Lu Xinyi’s wrist, speaking as she did.

As she spoke, she glanced at Liu Xin. Honestly, she had no regard for someone like Liu Xin.

With each word from Xiao Shiyao, Liu Xin’s face turned uglier.

In her heart, Liu Xin had cursed out both Xiao Shiyao and Lu Xinyi. But, although she dared to curse them in her mind, she didn’t dare utter a word aloud.

Maybe Lu Xinyi would still be within her grasp to bully, but Xiao Shiyao? On regular days, she’d take a detour to avoid her.

Lu Xinyi was truly touched inside. The two times Xiao Shiyao had stood up for her made her heart warm. It made her understand who truly cared for her and who was constantly scheming against her.

Lu Xinyi had long seen through Liu Xin. "I understand, Yaoyao, don’t worry, this is the last time. From now on, I will keep my eyes wide open and won’t let myself be bullied again," she said, flashing Xiao Shiyao a big smile.

Lu Xinyi was a simple person, with straightforward thoughts, so when she showed a genuine smile, it was especially beautiful. Knowing Lu Xinyi’s character, it was no wonder that after finding out about her second brother Xiao Xuyang and Lu Xinyi’s affair, Xiao Shiyao hadn’t objected to Lu Xinyi marrying into the Xiao Family and becoming her sister-in-law.

"It’s fine, from now on you have me and second brother, who would dare make a move against you? If our combined weight isn’t enough, we still have our parents. I really want to see who has the guts to go against the Xiao Family and the Situ Family," Xiao Shiyao said this on purpose, for Liu Xin to hear.

Sure enough, Liu Xin’s face grew paler upon hearing Xiao Shiyao’s words. She even seemed like she was about to faint, as if she couldn’t stand up any longer.

As for Liu Xin’s feeble state, Xiao Shiyao chose to ignore it. Let her fall if she must. If any man wanted to play the gentleman and help, then go for it. Anyway, it’s better for the two women not to get involved.

"Class has already started, I’ll go with you to the restroom first and then hurry back."

"Alright."

Xiao Shiyao mentioned class, and indeed, at that moment the class bell began to ring. With no time to spare, she quickly left with Xiao Shiyao.

Leaving behind Liu Xin, who stood pale-faced in the wind, pitiful but ignored by everyone.

"Lu Xinyi." Liu Xin gritted her teeth and thought resentfully. In her heart, she had marked a deep grudge against Lu Xinyi, determined not to let her have an easy time. As for Xiao Shiyao, Liu Xin had the sense not to provoke her.

However, Liu Xin’s mind hadn’t caught up yet. She still saw Lu Xinyi as someone of similar standing to her, whom she could bully at will. Deep down, she just found Lu Xinyi easy to push around.

But what she had forgotten was, times had changed. Lu Xinyi was now the recognized future daughter-in-law of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin, practically a member of the Xiao Family, not to be trifled with.

Moreover, Xiao Shiyao was no fool; she could guess Liu Xin’s intentions from just a glance or an expression.

Now Liu Xin was a dangerous person in Xiao Shiyao’s eyes. She decided to call her second brother as soon as possible to discuss Liu Xin.

This Liu Xin should probably leave Capital City.

While Liu Xin was plotting how to strip Lu Xinyi of everything she had and make her taste the fall from grace,

**

Xiao Shiyao was worried that Liu Xin would come back to harass Lu Xinyi, who was in a particularly vulnerable situation. If Liu Xin pushed her or deliberately tripped her, it would be troublesome.

So, Xiao Shiyao kept a close watch on Liu Xin.

In secret, she sent a message to her second brother, informing him about Liu Xin coming to the school to look for Lu Xinyi and urging him to deal with Liu Xin promptly. He needed to protect his own wife and child.

If a man couldn’t even protect his own family, what kind of man was he?

Xiao Xuyang was in a meeting when he received the message from Xiao Shiyao. The finance manager was reporting to him, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed his boss’s expression darken, and he himself felt a sinking feeling, almost too scared to continue his report.

Xiao Xuyang had thought that Lu Xinyi wouldn’t have the heart to really break with Liu Xin, and he didn’t want to interfere too much for fear of worsening her impression of him. He assumed that seeing Lu Xinyi as his woman, Liu Xin would no longer dare to pull anything behind his back. He hadn’t expected Liu Xin to be so clueless.

Not only had she repeatedly come to bother Lu Xinyi, but she also still plotted against her. Perfect, he would settle both the new and old accounts with her.

Eyeing this, Xiao Xuyang’s gaze turned fierce.

Scared by the sudden change in his eyes, the finance manager fell silent, deciding to stop altogether.

When Xiao Xuyang came to, he noticed the finance manager, who had been reporting, suddenly silent and shaking with a tremor in his hands holding the folder.

"What’s the sudden stop for? Continue."

"Um, boss, if there’s any part of this report you’re dissatisfied with, just tell me, and I’ll go correct it immediately. No, actually, I also think this report isn’t good enough. I’ll go revise it now and report back to you afterward." The finance manager internally regretted not pleasing his boss—an unforgiving man who wouldn’t tolerate kickbacks or tampered reports.

Now he had only reported halfway, and his boss had already sensed something amiss. Fortunately, he had kept back the original documents and still had a chance to revise them. His own back was drenched in a cold sweat.

If Xiao Xuyang hadn’t detected anything amiss now, then he wouldn’t be Xiao Xuyang. After a penetrating glance at the finance manager, with his back soaked with sweat and trembling legs, Xiao Xuyang finally decided to give him a break.

"Since you know the materials are subpar, why report to me and waste everyone’s time? I’ll give you another chance; get it right quickly. If there’s a next time, you know my rules." Xiao Xuyang was anxious to deal with Liu Xin and didn’t want to dawdle with the finance manager.

Whether today was the finance manager’s lucky day or bad luck, at least he had dodged a bullet for now.
