The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 875 - 296

These brothers waiting at the school gate for Xu Haoyang grew up with him from childhood, and their friendship is exceptionally strong. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have waited at the school gate for so long.

Although Xu Haoyang’s brothers might tease him, deep down, they genuinely care about him.

"Haoyang, you’re not serious about this, are you?" Originally joking and laughing, everyone suddenly became silent due to this remark. Pairs of eyes stared at Xu Haoyang, waiting for his response.

It’s no wonder Xu Haoyang’s brothers would suddenly ask such a serious question. After all, Xu Haoyang had never had a single female friend from childhood to adulthood.

Their families, although not as impressive as the Xiao Shiyao’s, are still prominent in the Capital City circle. Coupled with Xu Haoyang’s good looks, he has always been the top heartthrob in school. Hence, from childhood to adulthood, many girls have chased after him.

Yet, he was not interested in any of them, even those with the guts to confess their feelings through love letters or gifts were outright rejected by Xu Haoyang. He rejected them cleanly and decisively, without leaving any face for those girls.

Therefore, his brothers couldn’t help but privately ask Xu Haoyang if he didn’t like women but preferred men instead.

Of course, this question earned them a harsh scolding from Xu Haoyang.

Moreover, Xu Haoyang telling them that he fell in love with Xiao Shiyao at first sight happened a week after these doubts about his sexual orientation. Hence, initially, his friends didn’t take it seriously.

They thought Xu Haoyang made up the reason just to shut them up.

Even up until just now, that was their thought. But just now, they realized how wrong they were.

"When have I ever joked about such things?" Xu Haoyang couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"No way, our Haoyang is experiencing love for the first time?"

"Indeed, Haoyang is just a late bloomer."

"Doesn’t that make Miss Xiao Haoyang’s first love?"

Xu Haoyang, looking at his brothers, was utterly speechless. The topic has veered off course so drastically, no wonder their grades in literature were all not very good.

"Wow, could our Haoyang possibly be the first love of Eldest Miss Xiao?"

Upon hearing Xiao Shiyao’s name, Xu Haoyang’s ears perked up, and he started pondering internally whether he could be Yaoyao’s first love.

"Forget about first loves; the real question is, can Haoyang catch up with Miss Xiao. By the way, Haoyang, why don’t you tell us what happened when you were invited to the Xiao Family’s home yesterday?"

"Yeah, yeah, perfect, we can help you analyze whether you have a chance with Miss Xiao."

Xu Haoyang looked at everyone, who seemed to be on an adrenaline rush, and silently rolled his eyes again. Are these really his good brothers he has known since childhood? They felt even more gossipy than the paparazzi.

"Just you guys?" Xu Haoyang shook his head dismissively.

"Haoyang, what’s with that look? Don’t underestimate us; we’re all quite experienced."

"Yeah, compared to you, who’s just beginning to experience love, we’ve seen countless others."

"Yes, yes, yes, but I haven’t seen any of you keep a girlfriend for more than six months. And what about those girlfriends of yours? Is any one of them even a tenth as good as our family’s Yaoyao?" When Xu Haoyang talked about Xiao Shiyao, his entire demeanor transformed, and his eyes gleamed fiercely.

Seeing Xu Haoyang’s expression, his brothers knew that their brother was totally smitten.

It’s barely anything substantial with Xiao Shiyao yet, and he’s already constantly mentioning "Yaoyao."

In the study room of the Xiao Family

"Dad, this is Xu Haoyang’s information." Xiao Xuyang placed the documents his subordinates had gathered on his father Xiao Muli’s desk.

"Dad, this is the Xu Family’s information." Xiao Xuqu also placed the documents he asked his subordinates to gather on the desk.

Xiao Muli sitting behind the desk, saw the documents his two sons placed, nodded with satisfaction, and his expression softened, no longer as stern as before. "Hmm, this time you’ve handled things quite decently."

Hearing their father’s words, Xiao Xuyang and Xiao Xuqu exchanged glances then simultaneously sighed in relief.

The two brothers knew they had finally passed this hurdle.

Xiao Muli didn’t look at his sons again but picked up the documents on the desk and started reading.

Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang knew that their father just needed a phone call to find out what he wanted. However, he didn’t make any moves and was just waiting. And he wasn’t just waiting for his two sons.

Fortunately, the two brothers are not stupid and react quickly. Otherwise, they would have been in a lot of trouble.

However, they thought Xu Haoyang was even more unfortunate than them.

Xu Haoyang just confessed to their sister, and unluckily, their father passed by right when he confessed, which led him straight to the Xiao Family.

And this led to an immediate phone call from their father, summoning them back home.

And this "debt" from Xu Haoyang, the two brothers clearly remembered in their hearts.

The remembered Xu Haoyang couldn’t help sneezing several times, making him mistakenly think that he might be coming down with a cold.

When Xiao Muli finished going through all the information about Xu Haoyang and the Xu Family that his sons had gathered, his mood somewhat improved.

Just then, Situ Xin returned home, hearing from the household servants that the father and sons trio were in the upstairs study. Fearing her two sons might be scolded by her husband, she went up to take a look and to intercede at the right moment.

Otherwise, she feared her two sons wouldn’t be able to leave their beds for a month.

When she opened the door of the study and saw her two sons standing at attention across the desk in good condition, she was quite surprised. Given her husband’s temper, she thought her two sons would be severely punished this time.

But when she saw clearly what her husband was holding, she suddenly understood. "I see." She hadn’t expected her two sons to have been so clever this time, voluntarily gathering and turning in the information about the Xu Family and Xu Haoyang.

She then looked at her husband’s expression, which seemed quite good. "How is it after seeing this? Is Haoyang a good match for your daughter?"

"See for yourself." Xiao Muli, seeing Situ Xin, quickly stood up from the chair, walked over to Situ Xin, wrapped one arm around her waist, and led her to sit in his original spot.

The Xiao brothers were already used to their parents’ affectionate behavior.

Their father was especially gentle in front of their mother, almost like a different person.

Situ Xin didn’t hesitate and picked up the information on the desk to look through. As she read, the smile on her face grew bigger. "I didn’t expect that Haoyang and our two boys are quite similar, none of them has been in a relationship."

Fortunately, Xiao Xuyang and Xiao Xuqu were used to their mother occasionally teasing them, so at this moment, they kept looking straight ahead as if they hadn’t heard their mother’s words.

Situ Xin originally wanted to see her two sons’ reactions. However, they didn’t glance away, showing no response at all.

"The Xiao family’s background is clean, without messy affairs. From this angle, it really isn’t a bad choice for Yaoyao to marry into the Xu Family and marry Haoyang." Situ Xin initially thought Xu Haoyang was a good kid, but hadn’t expected his romantic history to be so clean, not unlike their own Situ Family and Xiao Family. Like this, her daughter would be comfortable in her new home.

"Hmm, but we need to understand more details; we can’t make conclusions just based on these documents." Although Xiao Muli’s thoughts were similar to Situ Xin’s, being protective of his daughter, he couldn’t help feeling cold whenever he thought about this boy snatching away his treasured daughter.

Feeling her husband becoming colder bit by bit, she felt both amused and annoyed, knowing his feelings well. But their daughter was growing up, it’s normal for her to have her own life, family, and partner. They couldn’t hold her back forever.

"Alright, stop giving me the cold shoulder. Our daughter is not so young anymore, having a relationship is normal. You can’t hold her back forever."

"She is only twenty-two this year."

"When I was twenty-two, I was already with you. Comparatively, they are even later. Anyway, we shouldn’t meddle too much, just watch from the sidelines to make sure the child doesn’t get hurt."

Only Situ Xin could say these things; Xiao Muli pursed his lips tightly but didn’t say anything to argue back. If anyone else dared to say this, they would have been frozen by a look from Xiao Muli, unable to even move.

"Fine, I’ll listen to you."

Xiao Muli was as meek as a lamb in front of Situ Xin.

Even though the Xiao brothers had long been accustomed to their parents’ interactions, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes inwardly.

"Let me see if I encounter Lady Xu, I’ll meet her and see if she’s easy to get along with," Situ Xin thought for a moment, then said,

"Okay."

"Alright, you two brothers go rest too. If you have things to do, go do them. But keep an eye out for your sister, make sure she’s not bullied," Situ Xin told the Xiao brothers,

"That’s natural, we’ve already arranged everything." Not to mention that their father, Xiao Muli, was watching over them, they themselves were very protective of their sister Xiao Shiyao.

About Xu Haoyang, it wasn’t their negligence; it was just Xu Haoyang’s bad luck. Just confessing turned into getting caught by their father. Could there be any worse luck?
