The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 864 - 388

The two people who were supposed to be on a business trip outside, have now both returned home, covered in dust, and bumped into each other at their own front door.

"Did Dad call you back with a phone call too?" Seeing his brother as dusty as he was, Xiao Xuqu felt a lot more at ease.

"Yeah, you too? What on earth happened at home? Dad called and insisted I come back immediately. I had just reached the halfway point in negotiating a project." Xiao Xuyang pinched the bridge of his nose, speaking.

If it hadn’t been his father calling him back, he would probably have lost his temper already.

"Stop frowning, I’m not in any better shape than you. My meeting was interrupted halfway through, and after Dad’s call, I came rushing back without even packing my stuff. I’m also puzzled what could be so serious to make Dad this angry. Eh, did Yaoyao not receive a call from Dad? Or has she arrived home before us?"

Saying this, the Xiao brothers headed inside the house.

Throughout their walk, they noticed the servants, one by one, bowing their heads, seemingly trying to make themselves less noticeable, which made the brothers even more curious. The atmosphere in the house was too strange. The brothers exchanged a look and decided to stop someone to ask.

"Hey, hey, why are you all walking with your heads down?" Xiao Xu casually stopped a servant carrying a tray.

"Young Master Qu." The servant looked up and saw it was Xiao Xuqu, and promptly greeted him.

"Yeah, hey, let me ask you something, what happened in the house? The atmosphere feels off," Xiao Xuqu inquired.

Hearing Xiao Xuqu’s question, the servant’s eyes dodged nervously, and thinking of the current atmosphere in the house, she couldn’t help but shiver. "Young Master Qu, nothing happened at home, nothing at all." She didn’t dare to speak carelessly, afraid that one wrong word could get her dismissed.

The Xiao family wasn’t just good in terms of treatment; outside, just by saying they worked for the Xiao family, people looked at them more highly. She wouldn’t want to lose her job over this.

"Who are you trying to fool? If there was nothing, would my dad have called us back like that? You’re telling me there’s nothing?"

"Young Master Qu, I really don’t know."

Xiao Xuqu wanted to say more but was pulled away by Xiao Xuyang. "Forget it, why make it difficult for her? Let’s go, we’re home now. We can find out what’s going on just by taking a look inside."

"Thank you, Young Master Yang." The servant gratefully glanced at Xiao Xuyang, then quickly scurried away with her tray.

Watching the servant he had scared away, Xiao Xuqu glared at Xiao Xuyang, "Always playing the good guy, aren’t you."

"Why make it hard for her? She was clearly too scared to speak, shaking like that. Let’s go, I’m getting more and more curious," said Xiao Xuyang as he walked inside.

Seeing Xiao Xuyang heading inside, Xiao Xuqu hurriedly followed: "Hey, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me."

As soon as Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang stepped into the living room, they felt the surrounding air drop several degrees, making them both shiver involuntarily, and they couldn’t help but wonder if they were dressed too lightly.

Situ Xin sat on the sofa, pinching the bridge of her nose with a headache.

Although Xiao Muli was quite angry, his glares could not wait to poke a few holes in the person sitting across the sofa. However, he always had part of his attention on Situ Xin.

He noticed right away when Situ Xin pinched her brow.

"What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Muli didn’t have the energy to care about the boy sitting across the sofa, who seemed unpleasant to him no matter how he looked at him. He quickly sat next to Situ Xin, while asking, he reached out to rub her brow.

"I’m fine."

"Dad, Mom." Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang only entered after sensing the mood in the room had lightened a bit.

When they were at the door, they saw the man and woman sitting across the sofa. The woman, if not their sister Qu Shiyao, then who? As for the other man sitting beside their sister, they seemed somewhat familiar.

However, before the two brothers could get a clear look, their father had already spoken up.

"Hmm." Xiao Muli answered indifferently. "You two, go sit over there."

Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang were a bit stunned, not knowing what had happened, but obediently took seats on another sofa.

"How are you two acting as brothers?" Before his two sons returned, Xiao Muli had already been on a fierce tirade. Of course, his anger was not directed at his two favorite women but at that annoying kid sitting next to his daughter.
