The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 856 - 816: Extra - Baby’s Popularity

After the three little treasures got used to school life, Situ Xin and Xiao Muli stopped the daily routine of dropping them off and picking them up in the morning; that task was handed over to the family driver.

Although Situ Xin had already handed over the reins of power, the Dark Division and Dragon Society personnel still habitually came to her for consultation on major matters, expecting her to make the final decisions. Thus, even though Situ Xin appeared to be quite idle, she had plenty to do every day.

Like usual, the family driver took the three little treasures to school, and they had fully adapted to their school life. To them, school life wasn’t much different from life at home.

There were simply more teachers and many more classmates. Sometimes, the triplets found the crowd to be quite a hassle, but other times, they felt that interacting with others wasn’t so bad.

The popularity of these three little treasures at school was imaginable. A week after they started school, everyone at Experimental Primary School knew that there were three very cute and delicate triplets in the first grade, class one.

Sometimes, during lunch, the older students would stroll by the door of the first grade, class one, just to see the triplets. And Xiao Shiyao, Xiao Xuyao, and Xiao Xuyang gradually went from initially being annoyed to getting used to it.

One day during recess, Xiao Xuyang was chatting with a girl who approached him with questions, while Xiao Xuyao was absorbed in reading his book. Xiao Shiyao was fidgeting with the phone her dad gave her, chatting with her uncle.

"Xiao Xuyao, Xiao Xuyang, Xiao Shiyao, come out for a moment," the school’s head of discipline called out to the three Xiao siblings sitting in the first row.

The classmates were puzzled to see the head of discipline call for the Xiao siblings, knowing that the trio was generally well-behaved and didn’t seem like they’d done anything wrong. The insightful youngsters were also well aware of the powerful backing behind the Xiao siblings.

Indeed, after they mentioned it at home, their families all advised them to establish a good relationship with the Xiao siblings.

When Xiao Xuyang, Xiao Xuyao, and Xiao Shiyao saw the middle-aged woman with glasses at the classroom door, the so-called head of discipline, they were all puzzled as to why she was looking for them.

But their mother had told them to listen to what the teachers at school said. Of course, if they felt a teacher was wrong, they could tell their mother, and she would handle it.

Therefore, although the three little treasures who believed that their mother’s words were always right were reluctant, they still stood up and walked towards the door.

"Teacher, did you want to see us?" Xiao Xuyang asked the head of discipline with a particularly radiant smile.

The head of discipline, who usually kept a stern face and frightened the students into silence, couldn’t maintain her composure in front of the three delicate faces, especially Xiao Xuyang’s bright smile. Her expression softened considerably, and her tone became much gentler, "Yes, I am looking for you."

"Then, teacher, what do you need us for?" Acting cute and well-behaved was Xiao Shiyao’s forte. Coupled with her delicate lolita face, she was irresistible and made people want to hold and pamper her.

"It’s your grandmother who’s looking for you," the head of discipline’s expression became even softer, but the onlooking classmates were scared into shivering by her face, thinking an expressionless face was better than her attempt at softening.

As for the Xiao siblings, they didn’t notice the change in the head of discipline’s expression, their attention seized by the mention of "grandmother." The three little treasures exchanged glances; as far as they could remember, there was no such person as ’grandmother’ in their lives. Their grandfather, on the other hand, was someone they saw from time to time.

And for these three relatives of Xiao family who were stingy with their gazes towards unimportant people, they never mentioned the unknown grandmother, nor did they ask about her at home.

Now, someone suddenly showed up claiming that their grandmother was looking for them. They were quite surprised and a bit curious. However, just as the head of discipline informed them that their grandmother had come to find them, Xiao Shiyao received a text message on her phone from her uncle, Situ Jin, who she was chatting with.

Upon seeing the message from her uncle, Xiao Shiyao replied habitually, "Uncle Jin, our head of discipline said our grandmother is looking for us, I won’t chat for now."

Xiao Shiyao sent the message and tucked her phone into her pocket, having set it to silent so as not to disturb the class. Situ Jin was sitting in the meeting room listening to a dull report when he received the message, and he promptly stood up from his chair.

His sudden action startled everyone present, leaving them anxious, wondering if they had done something to offend their boss.

However, Situ Jin simply said, "That’s all for today," took his phone, and while trying to call Xiao Shiyao, he walked out of the meeting room. This left his subordinates looking at each other in speculation, wondering if their boss was in love.

Meanwhile, Situ Jin was getting so frustrated with calling Xiao Shiyao and getting no answer that he almost threw his phone after getting the automated reply, "Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

Over at the school, the three little ones, full of curiosity, obediently followed the headteacher to his office.

"Xiao Xuyao, Xiao Xuyao, Xiao Shiyao, your grandmother is inside. Go on in," the headteacher said with a voice he believed to be gentle, which only caused the attentive children to shudder.

"Okay," Xiao Shiyao couldn’t help but rub her little arms and, with a smile to the headteacher, took hold of her brothers’ hands and entered the headteacher’s office.

Inside the headteacher’s office, Liu Yun paced back and forth, wrestling with her thoughts until she heard the office door open. Forcing herself to calm down, she sat on the sofa and put on what she believed was a loving smile.

"Ms. Liu, I’ve brought your grandchildren to you," said the headteacher, who was aware of Liu Yun’s identity as Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law. She tried to please Liu Yun, who had asked her to bring the children to the headteacher’s office.

"Thank you. Rest assured, I’ll remember this favor," Liu Yun said, feigning a superior demeanor.

"Are you really our grandmother?" The three children had scrutinized this woman claiming to be their grandmother since entering the office. Xiao Shiyao, speaking for the trio, cocked her head and posed the question with a façade of cute innocence.

However, this did not endear her to Liu Yun at all. Upon seeing Xiao Shiyao’s face, which resembled Situ Xin’s, a flicker of disgust crossed Liu Yun’s eyes.

This hidden disgust, well masked on Liu Yun’s face, went unnoticed by the headteacher but was clearly seen by the three astute children.

"Yes. I’m your grandmother. You must be Shiyao; you’re very pretty," Liu Yun said, trying to suppress her revulsion at the similarity to Situ Xin and forcing a loving expression as she spoke to Xiao Shiyao.

"You’re not our grandmother at all. You clearly dislike Shiyao, yet you put on such a façade. It’s truly uncomfortable," Xiao Xuyang didn’t take kindly to the woman claiming to be their grandmother, especially her gaze at Xiao Shiyao.

"How dare you speak like that? How could I possibly not be your grandmother? Your father, Xiao Muli, was born to me," Liu Yun said with a superficial gentleness, while inwardly she cursed, seeing each child as troublesome as their mother. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"You say you’re our grandmother, but you look so old, not at all the same age as our other grandmother. You even look as old as our great-grandmother," Xiao Shiyao retorted sharply, revealing her biting tongue when provoked.

Her statement was indeed a blunt one, albeit slightly exaggerated. Liu Yun, having experienced an unhappy life these past few years, markedly aged. Xiao Guobing didn’t cater to her every whim anymore.

One could say the marital affection between her and Xiao Guobing had faded. Xiao Guobing no longer rushed home after work. And whenever he did come home, Liu Yun couldn’t help but lose her temper, resulting in arguments.

Life’s dissatisfaction took its toll on Liu Yun. In contrast, Loo Yaxin, who had a fulfilling life and was looked after by her daughter Situ Xin, and continued cultivation, was incomparable. Nowadays, Liu Yun and Loo Yaxin walking together might even be mistaken for mother and daughter.

Xiao Shiyao’s words finally shattered Liu Yun’s carefully maintained facade.

If it weren’t for the headteacher’s watchful eyes, Liu Yun would have already stood up, walked over to Xiao Shiyao, and given her a severe scolding. This little devil, just like her mother, seemed born to torment her.
