The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 895 - 414

Situ Xin and Xiao Muli were childhood sweethearts and have been married for many years; she could understand every expression on Xiao Muli’s face.

Just now, Xiao Muli had a serious face and said he needed to make a call. She guessed who he was calling. Thus, she wasn’t concerned at all.

However, for the Xu family couple, who were unfamiliar and even not well-acquainted with Xiao Muli, their emotions were tense. They had just seen Xiao Muli change his demeanor; the couple looked at each other, their smiles now gone.

"Xiao Xin, if Patriarch Xiao has important matters to handle, let him be. Also, as hosts of today’s banquet, it’s not good for you to only accompany us as a couple," Mother Xu was really delighted to be in close contact with her idol. She also enjoyed chatting with Situ Xin, but they had their own important couple matters, and they couldn’t just stick with them all the time.

"Yes, Madam Xiao, you go attend to your duties with Patriarch Xiao, don’t mind us," Father Xu chimed in.

"Our couple is not busy. To be honest with you both, the purpose of this banquet was specifically to meet you two, to understand what kind of people our future relatives are. As you know, we have three children, and Yaoyao is our only girl. Our family dotes on her a lot, hence for her future husband and in-laws, we have no major demands except that they fully accept her," Situ Xin said smilingly.

The couple had already arranged people to take care of the guests.

Those who came with ulterior motives would likely be disappointed.

At home, Mother Xu often complained about her son’s shortcomings. She even said that her son, Xu Haoyang, was not worthy of Xiao Shiyao. However, in front of others, she would never speak ill of her son: "Xiao Xin, rest assured, I’ve always wanted a daughter. Who would have thought, I ended up having a son, Haoyang. I even thought the doctors made a mistake and switched the baby. Therefore, if Yaoyao becomes my daughter-in-law, I will definitely treat her as my own daughter. And Haoyang, he takes relationships seriously and never messes around."

Hearing Mother Xu’s words, Situ Xin couldn’t help but laugh, "I know, that’s exactly why we wanted to meet with you both, knowing that Haoyang is a good guy."

Xiao Muli finished his call, put away his phone, and was ready to return. Just as he turned, a figure dashed straight into his arms.

Xiao Muli’s expression darkened, and he swiftly shifted to one side.

The figure that should have crashed into him fell heavily to the ground with a loud "ouch." Qian Yue didn’t hold back at all in her act, not leaving a margin for error. She had calculated that Xiao Muli was unprepared and couldn’t dodge in time.

However, she underestimated Xiao Muli’s reflexes.

Qian Yue, a secret daughter of Patriarch Qian, hadn’t been back at the Qian Family for long.

Today’s banquet was not something a secret daughter like her from the Qian Family should attend. However, she was persuasive and had deceived Patriarch Qian since her return. Here she was, having pleaded with Patriarch Qian to bring her along.

This infuriated Lady of the Qian Family and other family members to the point of wanting to pounce on and bite Qian Yue.

Qian Yue had begged Patriarch Qian to attend this banquet primarily aiming at the two young masters of the Xiao Family. She figured if she could get into bed with one of them, she could then strut around in the Capital City.

Unfortunately, the two young masters of the Xiao Family had merely shown their faces before disappearing. But there was Patriarch Xiao, who, though in his forties, didn’t look his age, appearing to be in his early thirties and radiating an aura far surpassing those of twenty-something men.

Qian Yue took a liking to Xiao Muli right away and decided to conquer him today.

Now, she seized the opportunity for a dramatic scene.

Qian Yue fell hard, the pain making stars dance before her eyes. Yet, she didn’t forget her purpose here. She looked up, her eyes reddening, biting her lips slightly, making what she believed to be the most heart-stirring expression, and gazed at Xiao Muli.

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

Xiao Muli looked down coldly at this woman who clearly had a scheme in mind, his eyes void of any emotion except for sheer disgust.

He didn’t reach out to help Qian Yue as she had anticipated. Instead, after giving her a disdainful glance, he turned and left without a backward glance.

Qian Yue hadn’t expected such a reaction from Xiao Muli. Seeing him walk away, she became frantic and hurriedly called out, "Patriarch Xiao, please help me up, I can’t get up by myself."

But Xiao Muli didn’t stop his stride. He left directly.

This woman is truly foolish. While playing this charade of throwing herself at him, she never bothered to inquire about Xiao Muli. Aside from his wife Situ Xin and his daughter Xiao Shiyao, no woman who tried to get close to him ever had a good ending.

Xiao Muli did not go directly to Situ Xin but instead found the security team captain and ordered him to have someone throw Qian Yue, who harbored ulterior motives, out directly. There was no need for any pity—just throw her out.

Upon receiving his orders, the security team captain personally led his team to carry out Xiao Muli’s commands. When they saw Qian Yue sitting on the ground, grinding her teeth in frustration, they immediately understood.

Another woman delusional enough to think she could climb into Patriarch Xiao’s bed.

"Throw her out," the security team captain personally ordered. With Patriarch Xiao’s command, they didn’t need to have any reservations.

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

Initially, the security team captain and his team had thought to be gentler, but hearing Qian Yue’s threats, their attitudes hardened immediately. The captain gave a look to the other three, who then proceeded without any hesitation.

"Girl, regardless of whether you belong to the Qian Family or some other, let me tell you, you won’t be able to stay in the Capital City after this. From now on, when you harbor crooked ideas, check carefully first if you can even afford to offend that person. You’re truly seeking your own death by setting your sights on Patriarch Xiao. Now, throw her out quickly," the security team captain commanded, waving his hand. The others didn’t give Qian Yue a chance to struggle, lifting her by the arms and dragging her toward the door.

Moreover, the security team captain did not leave any dignity for Qian Yue. He didn’t have them throw Qian Yue out the back door; instead, he had her dragged to the front banquet hall and thrown out the main entrance.

When Qian Yue, being dragged by the security, appeared in the front hall, the originally lively crowd suddenly fell silent as if frozen.

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

Upon seeing his daughter being dragged out by the security, Patriarch Qian hurried over. "What are you doing? Quickly, let her go," Patriarch Qian shouted.

"Dad, save me, save me," Qian Yue’s hair was disheveled from the struggle. Seeing Patriarch Qian, she looked at him as if seeing a savior.

"Patriarch Qian, I advise you not to interfere. Do you think we would throw her out without reason? This is an order from Patriarch Xiao, directing us to throw her out directly. As for why Patriarch Xiao ordered this, you can ask your precious daughter what she has done. Really, what sort of upbringing is this, to even think of seducing Patriarch Xiao," Situ Xin held a favor to the security captain, and combined with the earlier attitude from Qian Yue and Patriarch Qian, he openly mentioned Qian Yue trying to seduce Xiao Muli in front of everyone. "What are you still standing around for? Quickly throw her out, otherwise, if Patriarch Xiao comes over later, blame may be assigned."

Saying this, the security team captain and his team dragged Qian Yue towards the door.

The crowd, which had quietened down due to the scene, burst into discussions after hearing the security team captain’s words.

"What bad luck, daring to harbor such thoughts, truly seeking death."

"Exactly, the Qian Family is probably finished. I’ll go back and see if there are still any dealings with the Qian’s, need to prepare quickly."

"Always said this illegitimate daughter couldn’t be seen in public. To think she’d do such a thing."

Patriarch Qian, hearing these comments, his face turned extremely ugly. He never expected that his newly found daughter would dare to do such a thing. Thinking of Patriarch Xiao and Madam Xiao’s methods, he broke out in cold sweat.

Situ Xin and Mother Xu came out from the adjacent reception room, followed by Xiao Muli and Father Xu. When they appeared, they happened to hear the surrounding comments.

When Situ Xin clearly heard everyone’s comments, she turned her head and teased Xiao Muli with a joking look: "I didn’t expect that at your age, you still enjoy such favors."

"Wife, this isn’t a favor, it’s a disaster. She didn’t even touch the hem of my clothes before she was thrown to the ground. Then I had someone throw her out directly. Don’t worry, she won’t appear in the Capital City again, and the Qian Family will also pay a corresponding price. Wife, you must believe, there’s no one else in my heart," Xiao Muli was a man of few words, but he became quite different in front of Situ Xin. Moreover, he needed to state his position clearly, otherwise, he’d be spending the night in the study.

"Hmph, seeing how you handled it, I’ll let you off this time," Situ Xin turned her head and covered her mouth to laugh silently.

How could she be angry? She was just teasing Xiao Muli on purpose.

"Xiao Xin, Patriarch Xiao truly loves you sincerely," Mother Xu whispered into Situ Xin’s ear.

"If he wasn’t sincere to me, I would have left him long ago."
